How to Choose the Best Life Insurance Plan

It is needless to talk about the importance of a Life Insurance Plan. Life insurance is necessary as it dilutes your risk and secures you and your family preparing you to face the uncertainties that life throws at you.
When we talk of a Life Insurance Plan, we are talking about a contract that is formed between an insurance policy holder and an insurer when the policy holder pays a fixed premium to the insurer and he, in return, gives agreed benefits of the same to the policy holder. It is important to note here that the benefits received may not just be restricted to death of the person insured but may also be extended to critical illness, or terminal illness. However, this would depend on the type of policy and the kind of contract that has been signed by both the parties.
Life insurance plays a vital role when you plan to buy peace of mind for your loved ones. Once your life is insured, you become sure that even your absence would not bring any kind of financial hardships for your loved ones. A regular premium is paid by you to the insurer in order to ensure this security. You may opt for a lump sum payment of premium or choose for a regular monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or a yearly payment mode depending on your source of income and choice. Going by the latest trend, there are insurance companies that are also covering funeral expenses in few of the policies that they offer.
However, if there is no one dependent on your earnings or if the amount generated by you as your earnings does not form a significant part in supporting your family and their needs then you may very well opt out from investing in a life insurance policy.
Choosing the Best Life Insurance Plan
Need Analysis – It is very important for you to analyze whether you require life insurance or not. As stated earlier, if there is no one dependent on your earnings or if the amount generated by you as your earnings does not form a significant part in supporting your family and their needs then you may very well opt out from investing in a life insurance policy. However, if the case is vice versa you should surely invest in a life insurance plan.
Financial Analysis – Once you have determined that you need to have life insurance cover, the next step would be to do a financial analysis. This would not only involve the amount that you can pay as premium towards your insurance but prior to that it would involve calculation of the worth of your life. You need to know clearly the financial loss that your family would suffer if you suddenly disappear from the picture. The most important and relevant question would be – “How much financial compensation would my family require in order to not just sustain themselves but to live financially sound life after my demise?”
Explore Life Insurance Plans – With internet, everything you want is just a click away. You just need to go through all the types of life insurance policies available in the market. There are different types of life insurances available in the market. These are -
  • Whole Life Insurance – This insurance provides security for the entire life of the policy holder. The beneficiary gets the benefit only at the event of death of the policy holder.
  • Term Insurance – As the name says, term insurance is for a fixed period of time. Once the policy lapses, it is at the will of the insured to get it renewed or to let it go. The benefit is provided at the death of the policy holder but the death needs to take place within the specified time period. It comes handy when you have limited amount that can be invested and limited years to be covered.
  • Universal Life Insurance - The premiums, amount of protection and cash values can be altered by you during the contract term as per the change in your needs and requirements.
  • Variable Life Insurance Policy – In this plan the cash and death benefits vary.
  • Limited-Pay Insurance – In this type of plan you need to pay your premiums for a specific period of time.
  • Endowment Insurance - If you buy an annuity policy with the sum received, you will be able to earn regular incomes by way of monthly pensions when you retire.
Assessment of Policies and Insurance Companies – Once you have all the information about the policies that are available in the market, you need to get down to the assessment of policies. Different policies come with different benefits and terms and conditions that may also vary from insurer to insurer. In this case you need to actually figure out what suits you best.
Compare Plans and Quotations – In order to get deeper insights of plans and their benefits, you may chalk out some plans that may serve your purpose and contact the insurance companies. Their agents will help you understand the plans better. Get all details like premiums to be paid, mode of payment, frequency of payment, benefits, riders etc. Get the quotations and compare all the plans useful to you and the companies. Compare the ratings of your insurer. Insurance companies are rated by several trustworthy agencies like Moody’s, S&P etc. A company with a higher rating is surely a good one to sign the contract with. These can be considered on lines of receiving good service and claim settlement process.
Ask Questions – It is important for you to ask questions from agents while deciding the policy. Make sure you opt for a policy that covers maximum benefits and you should not miss on any important coverage. Get all doubts pertaining to mortality charges, processing charges, administration costs and any other hidden costs cleared before hand as there are moments where agents do not talk about the hidden charges in order to meet their pressing targets and deadlines.
Insurance As an Investment – While you make up your mind to buy a life insurance plan for your near and dear ones, it is very important for you to be fully convinced with the idea. That could be done only when you view insurance as an investment for your family. When you do so you will be in a better position to strike a good deal both in terms of benefits and premiums paid. It is important to be convinced and doubly sure when you are buying peace of mind and security for your family.

Strain gauge type transducers electrically measure physical quantities such as load and displacement. They operate by converting physical quantities into mechanical stress, and then detecting that stress with a strain gauge. TML offers a number of products according to the item and quantity measured. Since our products use strain gauges, they can be connected to all types of strainmeters, such as data loggers and dynamic strainmeters, for taking measurements. This enables capabilities like automatic multiple-point measurement as well as measurement via computer. Our strain gauge type transducers offer a variety of features like compact size, light weight and easy operation, high-precision measurements with excellent linearity and accuracy, as well as dynamic measurement capability that is available in many of our products. These features led to widespread use of our strain gauge tranducers not only for testing and research, but for control in all types of industrial and civil engineering fields as well.

4 out of 5 stars
"...you can convert in interlaced or noninterlaced modes; change the aspect ratio and size; apply noise reduction; crop edges; and extract certain portions of a clip. TMPGEnc also lets you set the video quality and apply different filters. As long as you don't regularly need to encode video files in a codec other than MPEG, you'll find this one to be well worth considering."
BurnWorld's Atom Award
TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 has received BurnWorld's Atom Award.
"I cannot recommend this encoder highly enough, it's simple enough for someone with little computer experience to use, and yet adaptable enough for the more advanced user. I get high quality output that is ready for me to use with my DVD authoring program (which just happens to be the TMPGEnc one), and am always very pleased with the results. So whether you download off the internet (naughty, naughty), or just wish to create high quality video from your camcorder, this is the program to get. And with the 14-30 day free trial if it isn't right for you then it hasn't cost you anything."

Basic Training Concepts

basicYou may be wondering when is it going to feel easier. Since each of us is unique and starting from a different level of fitness, we will progress at different rates. We can’t necessarily predict your rate of improvement in endurance and fitness, but we can predict that if you adhere to the principles set out below, your level of fitness will improve, your endurance will increase – maybe even dramatically, and you will likely get faster even if speed is not a concern.

In order to realize improvements in endurance and fitness, you must train consistently. This means that you need to get out and run three or four times a week, every week. That doesn’t mean that if you miss a day, the sky will fall. We all miss days here and there because life does tend to interfere from time to time. So do the best you can to get those miles in. Often the hardest part is just getting out the door. The first mile is always the hardest. You get home from work late. You are tired and hungry. Going out for a run is about the last thing you want to do. So how do you get out ? Two things: Think about your goal – the medal you are going to get which will forever symbolize your accomplishment. The other thing is to tell yourself to just run for 10 minutes, and if you want to come in and eat after that, it’s OK to do it. You probably will never stopped after just 10 minutes.

There are two parts to training: stress and adaptation. How does this work ? When you run or walk, you make your cardio-vascular system, and muscular skeletal system work harder than they’re used to. This is stressful to those systems and they break down slightly as a result of the exercise. After running or walking, the body repairs and rebuilds itself, making itself stronger than it was before. If all you do is run or walk, you only break down and stress your body without giving it a chance to repair and rebuild. The result of not getting enough recovery from a workout may be injury or illness caused by a weakening of your immune system from overtraining. When does the most repair and rebuilding take place? WHEN YOU ARE SLEEPING! Imagine that – some of the most important training is done in your sleep. How cool is that? So if you look at your training schedule, you will see that a hard training day is always followed by either an easy training day or a rest day so that proper recovery will take place and you’ll be ready for the next run or walk.

Take a look at the training schedule and you will see that the increase in our weekly mileage and the mileage of our longest run/walk of the week is very gradual. In fact, at the end of a training run/walk, you may feel like you can go farther. Resist the urge. Building mileage too quickly increases the risk of injury. Building mileage slowly allows your body to adapt and get stronger. In fact, you will see that every once in a while we reduce our weekly mileage so as to give our bodies a chance to recover before ramping it up again. Don’t be impatient.

You will be hearing more from me about hydration and nutrition. But for the time being, keep in mind that even if one piece of your motivation for doing the Disney event is weight loss, you still need to take in a sufficient amount of calories and in the right proportion. Look at food as fuel for your exercise. You can’t drive your car without gasoline and you can’t train for an endurance event without fuel either. You need carbohydrates for energy. Try to make 60-65% of your calorie intake carbohydrates – preferably complex carbs from non-processed foods., e.g. brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole grain breads, oatmeal. Your body also needs adequate amounts of protein for tissue repair. Go for 20-25% of your calorie intake from proteins. Vegetarians have to work a little harder to find adequate sources of protein, but beans, peanut butter and dairy products are some go to sources. Finally, 10-15% of calories should come from fat, preferably the mono or non-saturated variety like that found in olive oil or guacamole. Eat lots of fruits and veggies of different colors. And don’t forget to drink. Even when it’s cold out, you will sweat away fluids that need to be replaced. Start your runs/walks hydrated and take in fluids periodically. More on fluid intake soon.

UT Solar-Powered House Begins Tour Across State as Educational Exhibition

KNOXVILLE—Living Light, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s state-of-the-art, zero-energy house, will open its doors to the public this weekend, marking the beginning of the Tennessee Tour, an educational exhibition that will travel across the state.

The free tour will kick off Saturday, November 19, and will coincide with the UT-Vanderbilt football game.

Living Light will be open from noon to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in November and December at the UT Gardens, 2431 Joe Johnson Drive, Knoxville.

Living Light is a functioning energy-efficient solar-powered house that competed in late September at the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon on the Mall in Washington, DC. The house placed eighth overall in the competition, and earned commendable, high-standing marks in the fields of architecture, energy-efficient appliances, and engineering.

It also tied for first place in the Energy Balance Contest, garnering perfect marks for achieving a net-zero energy balance throughout the competition. The home produced enough energy to maintain all of the house’s needs.

With the house’s return from Washington, DC, the Tennessee Tour will launch as a teaching tool for children, industry professionals, and homeowners to learn about cutting-edge sustainable science, technology, and design.

Starting in Knoxville and continuing to cities in Tennessee, including Nashville, Memphis, and Chattanooga, the home will be open for public tours and learning events throughout the year.

“The house incorporates the historical design of the cantilever barn of Appalachia, while showcasing modern home technologies,” said Diane Bossart, research associate and project manager of the Tennessee Tour. “We are very excited to share this home with people in Tennessee, so they may consider implementing energy-saving techniques and more sustainable materials in their homes and businesses.”

The Tennessee Tour is a joint effort of the UT College of Architecture and Design and the UT Institute of Agriculture Office of Extension. It showcases the work of more than 200 students and nine academic programs from the university, as well as the sponsorship and involvement of alumni, business, and industry partners of the Living Light project.

Comment from a friend.

Tom's Journal.

Here is a personal comment from a friend named Mark H.
It has several dear, important scriptures that are special to me, but his points are well taken pertaining to many 'half baked' Christians [no insult intended, please]... and that is:  many people need more guidance, I think, than to just be guided through some 'prayer' and then left on their own, only to go back to worldly, sinful thinking and life style!  If at all possible, the 'new Christian' ought to be led, nurtured and invited to meet with Biblical, mature Christians who set the right example with contact points, book studies, and other 'tools' to help them on their road to Christian maturity.  After all, getting Saved is only the beginning of our spiritual life and work of sharing the Gospel with others.

Tom S

I think that it's OK to speculate among brothers in Christ. The Problem is teaching and preaching to the lost and babies in Christ that they don't have to worry about the mark of the beast or the anti-Christ because we wont be here. There is already is many false converts who said the prayer for the wrong reason and soon fall away, thinking that they are saved because something they did like say a prayer or being sorry for all the bad thing they done. No true repentance or born-again of the Spirit. I know it's not anything that we can add to salvation as that comes through Christ. His death was not for us to not see persecution. If you follow Him there will be persecution. Look at all the Martyrs in the dark ages they were tormented chased from country to country their babies cut to pieces before their eyes. What makes most Christians think that we wont suffer great losses also. We are truly a spoiled nation that God has blessed. I think the blessings are coming to an end. I have seen web pages that say there will be no mark of the beast until we are gone.
 I love ya !!!
2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
(1Cor 2:13 [KJV])
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Ask the spirit for understanding every-time you open Gods word.

Go for Broke --My Credibility is on the Line --Big Time.

Tom's Journal.

Yes,  My total credibility is on the line, but I was blessed with a mind like a steel trap-- so my old friends have told me thru the years, and I study and read seriously all the time ALL my life, and can add 2 plus 2 pretty good, besides being a small bible scholar, or sorts...  PTL.

My Faith is in the God of the Bible, and that fine, Book, is the  lamp that guides my way, every day, and shapes my mind, heart and vital force.  If this article spot lights me as "Chicken Little" -- then I will have to walk around with an Albatross around my neck for a long time, and rightly so!
    Now,  there COULD be other alternatives, scenarios, huge events brought on by God Almighty, like Israel kicking many butts all the way back to ancient times-- even to Solomon's days when that empire was much larger in size.  And as I may have said before-- I have a selfish motive to hoping that the Rapture would just hold off for a short time-- one for the reason of my preaching and sharing the Gospel a while longer, etc, etc.

But IF YOU ARE AN AVID BIBLE STUDENT AND INTO PROPHECY LIKE I AM,  this article will knock your socks off, and should come to you with no big surprises at all !!  After all, it's all been unfolding right in front of our eyes these past 3 years with ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRAINT FROM CONGRESS !!  It's just a repeat of history, so historians will have no problem of figuring out, so that a blind man could add it up in their mind.

I also hope that you all can figure out this slogan:  "Why polish the brass on a sinking ship??"  America is sinking with NO relief in sight-- and there will be NO cure or Saving this time!!  Watch 'em and weep.  Better yet, 'Put ALL your faith and trust in the Lord, and He will Save you.

Warm Regards,
Tom Schucknan

The 'Planned' Re-election of Obama, Revolutionary Style...

The Contact:
It was not the proverbial 3:00 a.m. phone call, but close enough. And it was not made to the White House, but to my house, which is not white, nor is it in DC. It was about 2:30 a.m. on 25 April 2012, and the call itself was somewhat unexpected. I had anticipated the telephone call from my DHS insider much earlier the previous day, but our schedules didn’t synch up. I was traveling on an investigative assignment, while my source was in meetings all day. I had just fallen asleep, and was slumbering no more than 20 minutes when the phone rang.

In most households, a ringing phone at that time of night causes concern for everyone who hears it. In my household, it seems to surprise only my surly, 140 pound light-sleeping German shepherd. He let out an objective grunt as I stepped over him to take the call in another room. It was “Rosebud,” the code name given my insider source.

About Rosebud:
Just a little bit here about my source and his “super-secret code name.” I’ve known this government insider since 1979, when he first became a municipal patrol officer. He took a job in a bigger city and had a very successful run as a cop. Before retirement and after the events of 9/11, he was tapped by the feds, where he worked in various capacities under the umbrella of DHS. He worked his way up, and suddenly found himself in what he terms the inner sanctum of the “TEC” building. TEC, he explains, is an acronym for what he calls “The Estrogen Challenged,” which houses the upper echelon of the Department of Homeland Security. I’ll leave it at that.

As far as his code name, it originates from an incident that occurred at the end of the disco era. It is something that we both privately laugh about, but rarely ever talk about. His “code name” is known to him, me, and at the time, a young woman who has since vanished amid the glitter of disco balls and constant replays of the Bee Gees in a dark nightclub some 32 years ago, and has no “cloak and dagger” origins. But he is real, his position serious, and his knowledge vast. Unfortunately, that’s what makes the whole situation frightening and deadly serious.

The information:
It began on Wednesday, 2 May 2012 with a 45-minute interview on TruNews with Rick Wiles when I first disclosed the information I received the previous week from my source. The information I relayed “went viral,” as they say, across the internet.

To support the statements I made during that interview, I am showing my handwritten notes taken contemporaneously during our conversation. My notes consist of two pages and are, at various points, admittedly difficult to decipher. I ask that points not be deducted for my penmanship given the time of the morning which they were taken.

According to my source, there is talk among the highest levels of the uppermost echelon of the Department of Homeland Security, which he describes as effectively under the control of Barack Hussein Obama. During this call, he said that the DHS is actively preparing for massive social unrest inside the United States . He then corrected himself, stating that “a civil war” is the more appropriate term.

Certain elements of the government are not only expecting and preparing for it, they are actually facilitating it,” stated my source.

“The DHS takes their marching orders from the Obama administration, from Obama himself, but mostly from his un-appointed czars, especially Valerie Jarrett. Don’t think for a minute that the administration is doing anything to stabilize events in the U.S. They are revolutionaries, and revolutionaries thrive on chaos,” he added.

My source stated that he has not seen things this bad since he began working within DHS. “It’s like they [DHS agency heads] don’t care about what the American people see or feel about what the DHS agencies are doing. They figure that if the average American will put up with being “sexually groped and nuked” just to fly, they’ll accept almost anything. “That’s why their actions are becoming more overt. “It’s in your face and the brass actually chuckle about it” said my source.

New Information:
Astounded by the information my source provided “going viral,” I spoke to him again early Sunday morning. This was a scheduled telephone call (as noted on page 2 of my notes) based on a high level meeting of DHS personnel that was scheduled for and took place in Chantilly, Virginia, on Saturday, 5 May 2012. He hoped to provide me with more information to supplement that which he already given. Although he was not personally present, his source was. While he would not say who was at the meeting on Saturday or give its precise location, he said that the many of the names would be recognizable. He spoke to his source late Saturday night.

I contacted him on his cellular phone early Sunday morning to get the promised update.
“Geez, nice job on getting the word out about what’s really going on at DHS and in this administration,” were the first words out of his mouth, followed by “thanks a lot.” I asked him why he would be thanking me. “I just wanna’ tell you that I’m going to have to hire someone to start my car, and I’m surely not going for any rides in small planes in the immediate future,” he said with a bit of nervous laughter. “I hope no one finds out who I am or it’s going to be more than my pension I’ll have to worry about.”

“I can tell you word is getting out that people are starting to wake up, which is causing a lot of ‘pissed off brass.’ I can’t tell if they are more desperate or upset about the exposure, but the tone is starting to become a lot tenser. I hope that we’re having something to do with that,” he added.

With that, he provided me with additional information to supplement that which he already given me on 25 April. For clarity purposes, I have combined the information together from both contacts. The following information includes the updated information provided to me Sunday morning.

Obama the revolutionary:
Metaphorically speaking, there’s a revolution going on in the U.S. , propped up by three legs. Economic chaos, chaos through racial division, and chaos through class division, all joined by one core element: Barack Hussein Obama and his stable of unelected czars. Obama is using the lessons learned in 1968 as the template for 2012, and many of those who were active in the late 1960s are now calling the shots for 2012.

“The Obama administration and many of the un-elected ‘czars,’ either directly or indirectly, are engaged in covert activities with the occupy movement, various labor protests, and other subversive activities inside the U.S. ,” stated my source. Using untracked campaign funds, they are paying people to infiltrate the various movements to cause physical destruction of property and disrupt commerce. That began last year, but has increased ten-fold already this year,” stated this source. He added that they are using some lower level DHS agents to make the payments under the context of tracking subversives, but they are the unwitting subversives. “It’s like Fast & Furious” but in the social realm,” he added.

“Obama is using some high profile people as pawns to foment the revolution. I heard several times through very credible sources that [Louis] Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll. Other have been named as well, but I’m not prepared to identify them yet. Farrakhan is to coordinate the Blacks and the Muslims to prepare for riots this summer, using any means necessary.”

“Mentioned at the meeting Saturday were methods to use pawns to simulate the rioting in the Arab Spring countries, but to the benefit of this administration. A controlled chaos thing,” stated my source. They envision rioting starting in the urban areas first, such as New York and other major cities, followed by a disruption of business and commerce. This will allow the DHS to mobilize their various teams into the streets of America without objection of the people,” stated my source.

“They want to restrict travel, if not through high energy prices, then by checkpoints and curfews mandated by rioting and unrest. They understand we are the most well-armed nation in the world, yet they are aware of our vulnerabilities and intend to fully exploit them,” he added. The whole purpose is to keep Obama in office for another term, no matter how unpopular he is, as he is not finished changing our country from a Constitutional Republic . This is the run-up to the 2012 elections, or perhaps causing enough chaos to delay them - indefinitely.”

One statement that rattled me more than anything was that a great number of those already in power, whether in appointed or elected positions, actually want to see Obama stay in power, according to this source. “This is what we’ve been working toward and we’re closer now than we’ve ever been. If we lose now, we might not have another chance.”

This chilling common goal also explains the lack of interest in the Constitutional legitimacy of Obama. It is common knowledge that Obama is not an American, and neither is his agenda. Of course, criticism of his bona-fides feeds into the cries of racism, despite the massive fraud perpetrated on the American people. Party lines are meaningless when the common objective is the revolutionary overtaking of America.

Obama, the “professor” of Keynesian economics:
“The Obama administration is working closely with Bernanke, Geithner and others not to save our economy, but to outright destroy it. He is not the first or only one to try this, but the most effective and most vetted for that purpose. Do you actually think that the fact that Timothy Gauthier’s father worked with Obama’s mother in Indonesia was coincidental,” stated my source rhetorically. “What we’re seeing now is the fourth quarter of a game that started long ago, which also currently involves the Clintons . Obama would not be where he is if it were not for the Clintons , and to a lesser extent, Bush, but that’s for other reasons. Don’t be fooled, the Clintons never left or lost power,” he added.

“There are file drawers full of papers, heavily guarded papers at the ‘TEC building’ so I can only imagine what’s in them, about international financial dealings going back decades. I do know, or at least I was told, that they involve organizations that are the so-called conspiracy fringe groups, such as the Bilderberg group, the Trilateral Commission, and people including George Soros, Henry Kissinger, and current leaders of big industry. Some are fossils. They’ve been around a long time. Others are up-and-coming. They’ve got one thing in common, though, and that is to put in place a global system of governance, including a common currency. Economics is a huge part of this revolution, and they want to replace the dollar, to see it collapse. They expect, that is, they are working toward this very goal, and when this happens, it will cause chaos like never seen before in the history of this country.”

“Why do you think Jon Corzine is not only walking around, but heavily involved in Obama fundraising? They know it’s just a matter of time that Europe will implode economically, and when it does, start counting the days before we see massive hyperinflation and the ultimate collapse of the U.S. dollar,” stated this insider. “What will it look like in the streets of America when the general population realizes that there is no money? That’s right, chaos.”

Obama and the Planned Racial Divide:
According to this insider, the Trayvon Martin case is just the tip of the iceberg. “You certainly don’t have to be a genius to understand how Obama and his team played the public on this issue, and it’s far from over. But that’s not the sole element of what we’ll see this summer.”

“Remember the shots fired at the White House not too long ago?” asked my source. There was an element of outrage that was squandered, according to ‘team Obama.’ In fact, Obama and some of his closest advisors, especially [Valerie] Jarrett were incredibly angered that the outrage was seemingly tempered. It should have been an opportunity to use our force against the Tea Parties, the gun clingers, the Constitutionalists, and everyone who has complained about Obama. DHS should have stepped in right then, and used that event to start the clampdown,” this source stated about White House comments.

This source stated that from that point on, the DHS must become more responsive and aggressive.Watch for a false flag event against Obama or his family, something that will outrage ‘black America.’ It will be carefully choreographed, but executed in a manner that will evoke the ugliest of reactions and create racial chaos in this country that will make the Watts riots, 1968 and the Rodney King riots pale in comparison.

That’s the third leg in this.” The planned end-game:
Does Obama look worried about the upcoming elections? Look at his lavish vacations, his limited work schedule, and those with whom he is working. This is a very dangerous man who has, as his closest advisors, people who have orchestrated the revolutions of the 1960s. They know the “trigger points” in America.

The Obama administration, including his czars and along with his closest Progressive supporters, are planning a manufactured insurgency against America . He is using the media to his advantage to garner both sympathy and support for his unfinished goals. He is desperately seeking a way to remain in office, even if it means the surreal prospect of an indefinite postponement of elections - if it can be pulled off. So far, he’s got the support of the majority of the DHS “brass” behind him, according to my source.“They’re power hungry, and they want to remain in charge,” stated this source.

The “surreal” aspect of suspended elections won’t look so surreal when you see any or all of the “trigger points” take place in the not-so-distant future.“The end-game plan for America is its destruction as a Constitutional Republic , with the assistance of the agencies under the umbrella of the DHS.”

My source stated one more thing that seemed to tie things together. He urged me to recall the quote by Henry Kissinger who was speaking at a Bilderberg meeting at Evian, France, on 21 May 1992: Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful.

This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.
That threat need not be from beyond. All it might take is a world of starving, broke and desperate people.

Okay, I was sent this... so what is your opinion on this information

Continuing my report on G-Fest XXIII...

Friday night at G-Fest might be the best night I have ever had at a convention. It started with the opening ceremonies, the official opening of the convention with introductions of the special guests and the committee members who produce G-Fest. Much to my surprise, I was asked to be on the “stage” before a packed audience. Me, the comics guy.

So there I was sitting with Sojiro Uchino, Hiroshi Sagae, August Ragone, Linda Miller, Akira Takarada, Hiroko Sakurai, Bin Furuya, Yoshikazu Ishii and Robert Scott Field. I’m sitting next to Linda Miller, leading lady of King Kong Escapes, and she’s next to Akira Takarada, star of that movie and so many others. Holy cow!

As each guest was introduced, the convention projected a film clip or a photo. I’ve already written about Takarada in an earlier part of this report, but I can add that he can maintain his commanding presence even under hilarious duress. The convention showed a clip of him singing on some Japanese music show. He watched with feigned embarrassment and a smile on his face.

Miller was charming and just so delighted to be there. She didn’t have a long career in movies and TV, but she has devoted fans all over the world and especially at G-Fest. The convention showed her in an episode of My Three Sons.

Field was Android M-11 in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. He’s a huge part of G-Fest, appearing year after year to help with translating for the guests. He’s a sweetheart of a human being. I was glad for the few minutes I was able to chat with him.

Ishii is a director and assistant special effects director. He has worked on Ultraman Ginga, Gantz, Daimajin Kanon and Godzilla: Final Wars.

Uchino is a super kaiju-fan in Japan. He had small roles in Ultra-Q and Ultraman, and played one of the Boy Scouts in Gamera vs. Viras. At present, he’s directing the Gotouchi Kaiju project with Sagae. I’ll have more about that project tomorrow.

Furuya was the original Ultraman in the first season of the show. He’s played roles in other Ultraman and kaiju movies and TV shows. He’s also written his autobiography.

Sakurai played perky Akiko Fuji in the first Ultraman series. She was the only female member of the Science Patrol and has appeared in other Ultraman series and movies. A charming presence at this, her first G-Fest, she’s also written three Ultraman-related books.

Sagae is a master maquette sculptor and model maker for movies and toy collectibles. He has also done maquette sculpta, miniature work and production design for some Godzilla, Gamera and other monster movies. A very creative and gracious talent.

I wrote about Ragone in yesterday’s bloggy. If you were wondering, he’s still awesome.

Asked to say a few words, I told the G-Fest fans that, while comic books are my first creative love, giant monster movies were right behind them. I described “meeting” Godzilla on the small black-and-white TV set in the Isabella family living room. Because my father had to get up as early as four in the morning to get things going at the family bakery, I was only allowed to watch these movies if I kept the lights off and the sound down so low that I had to sit right in front of the screen to hear the movies. The price for that might have been the glasses I’ve worn since the third grade, but I think the movies were well worth that cost.

The G-Fest committee members do an outstanding job bringing G-Fest to live every year. I was and remain overwhelmed by how much they provide: fascinating panels, wonderful displays, great activities, and the movies and TV shows we love so much. They are the heads of a terrific G-Fest family. I am honored they accepted me so quickly and so warmly. I used to dream about attending this convention. Now I plan to return every year.

Following the opening ceremonies, Eddie and I drove to Giordano’s for dinner. I used to eat at Giordano’s at least once every time I came to Rosemont for the Chicago Comic-Con. Its deep-dish stuffed pizza is among the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Just walking into the place, even if I don’t have the pizza, reminds me of the great times I’ve had there with comics industry friends, some of whom are no longer with us. I’ll be back there next year and, this time, I will have the pizza. The blessed, glorious pizza.

The other big event of the evening was the screening of King Kong Escapes at the magnificent Pickwick Theater in nearby Park Ridge. It’s a fifteen-minute ride to the theater from the hotel. We were impressed by how nice the surrounding neighborhoods were. In fact, we were “we could live here” impressed.

The Pickwick is a classic movie theater. It’s big with the kind of old-fashion decor that used to make going to the movies an event in itself. The seats were some of the most comfortable theater seats I’ve ever experienced. I take pride in only dozing off a couple of times and only briefly. Some of my fellow fans probably spent more time snoozing than they did watching the movie.

Sidebar. There was a street fair a block or so from the Pickwick. Since we were parked near to it and since we had some time before we could enter the Pickwick, Eddie and I walked through it on our way to the theater. It had a huge variety of dining choices and a live band. On another night, had we known about it, we would have eaten there. More points for Park Ridge.

Second sidebar. The Pickwick showed two double feature programs on the day before G-Fest. In the afternoon, it showed Godzilla vs King Ghidorah and Gamera Vs. Viras. In the evening, it showed Yongary, Monster from the Deep and The Green Slime. On Saturday evening, it would host the 50th anniversary tribute to Ultraman. It’s a great venue for the kaiju films we love.

Sitting in the Pickwick, preparing to watch a giant monster movie on a giant screen in a giant theater made me feel like I was a kid again. It was a much larger theater than the Variety Theater I used to go to as a kid growing up on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio, but it brought me right back to those long-ago times.

Takarada and Miller introduced King Kong Escapes. I can’t imagine what it was like for them to be introducing and preparing to watch a movie that they made a half-century ago. Takarada slipped out during the screening, but Miller stayed for the entire movie.

Here’s the Internet Movie Database summary: King Kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to do the task. This leads to the machine and the real Kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.

The movie was a joint production of Rankin/Bass Productions (U.S.) and the Toho Company (Japan). Mildly based on the King Kong cartoon series then airing on Saturday morning in the States, it sometimes feels like a live-action cartoon. The English language dubbing was  by voice actors known for their work in American cartoons. Among them was the great Paul Frees, who dubbed Hideyo Amamoto’s evil Dr. Who, and Julie Bennett, who did the female voices, including Miller’s cute-as-a-button Lieutenant Susan Watson. Bennett is known for voicing Cindy Bear in various Yogi Bear cartoons and Aunt May in the late 1990s Spider-Man cartoons.

I enjoyed the movie immensely. I’ll probably need to watch it again at home to determine if it was the movie or the setting, but I had a good night at the Pickwick. Rhodes Reason had a tough military scientist persona going for him as Commander Carl Nelson. Mia Hama was cool as Madame Piranha/Madame X, a conflicted, exotically sexy woman doing bad for the sake of her nation. Even with the too-cartoon dubbing of her voice, Miller gave a physical performance I thought was terrific. Her body language and facial expressions carried the role. As for Takarada...he was every bit the handsome hero and love interest. Then and now, as I’ve said earlier in this extended G-Fest report, the man looks like a movie star!

It was a long day at G-Fest. But, even as I fell asleep back at the hotel, I was eager for the next day. Which I’ll tell you about when the bloggy thing returns on the morrow.

All Set?

The English media is a little kinder once the elections are over. ;-) In addition to the article reproduced below from The Star Metro edition yesterday, I've also been invited to speak at a forum organised by The Star and the Asian Centre fro Media Studies on "New Politics in Post-election Malaysia".

The forum is to be held in The Star auditorium on Monday 10.30 am, but it has been fully booked since the first day it was advertised in the papers on Wednesday, attracting some 500 attendees. And I had thought that given that it was a work day, attendance might have been on the low side! ;-)

Other speakers include Datuk Seri Chia Kwang Chye (Former Bukit Bendera MP), Datuk Nur Jazlan (Pulai MP), Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek (Former Labis MP), Charles Santiago (Klang MP) and Datuk Wong Chun Wai, managing editor for The Star. It should certainly be interesting ;-)

Pua all set for his new responsibilities

STEPPING into his Damansara Utama service centre in his trademark crisp white shirt and toothy smile without any signs of fatigue, Tony Pua looks set to take on his new responsibility as Petaling Jaya Utara (PJU) MP.

(No sign of fatigue? You've got to be kidding! - Tony ;-))

Pua garnered 37,851 votes in the 12th general election to beat incumbent Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun by a majority of 19,972 votes.

“Yes, we’ve been getting a lot of emails and calls about faulty street lamps and clogged drains. Some are more serious, like constant flooding,” said Pua. Most of the complaints are local council issues and he is not about to jump the gun in tackling these issues.

“We (including Damansara Utama and Kampung Tunku assemblymen Lau Weng San and Dr Cheah Wing Yin, respectively) want to deal with it in a more systematic approach,” he said.

To tackle the problems at the root, they would be compiling a list to be brought up during a meeting with PJ mayor Datuk Roslan Sakiman early next week.

“After all, we’re not here to replace local councils,” he said.

There are also bigger issues like the misuse of land where trees have been cut down without prior approval. Pua feels that these abuses have to be checked, but not independent of an overall state policy that would ensure more transparency and accountability.

“Instead of solving problems on an ad hoc basis, we have to look at why these problems happen every other month and how to resolve them,” he said.

He is hoping to work together not only with the DAP assemblymen but also with MPs and assemblymen from other parties like the PKR.

“It’ll take a few meetings to get everyone onto a single track. I think everyone has the same objectives but there are differences in approach,” he said.

As far as accountability and transparency were concerned, Pua said that while some laws have to be amended, some were already in place.

“For example, if the local councils refuse to publicise their full accounts, it’s up to the MPs and assemblymen to apply pressure to put up the account books for inspection. If you haven’t done anything wrong, there’s nothing to hide,” he said.

While the roles of the MPs and assemblymen are to apply pressure to the local councils to be more accountable, he feels that putting civil society members into the local council works better because they would be more public-spirited.

The ultimate objective is to have local council elections.

“We hope it would be as soon as possible but, realistically, it’ll be between the second to the fourth year. We want to do it before the next elections for the simple reason that that would be our key performance [indicator],” he said.

Being a fresh face in parliament does not bother Pua.

“As long as we can bring in the right set of professionals to help us with policy making and so on, the core values of the government will remain intact. We want a government with integrity, honesty and one that is accountable to the public,” he said.

For now, there is only one DAP service centre in PJU but there are plans to set up more.

“We’ll try to share resources so that we don’t end up attending to the same complaints. There should be coordination,” he said.

1MDB Accounts Should Be Made Public

The Prime Minister should stop the teasing with the claim of a RM425million profit for 1MDB Fund. Instead if it has done so well, the Government should flaunt it.

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak announced that he was extremely pleased that 1MDB RM5 billion fund has returned a net profit of RM425 million for its first financial year ending March 2010.

While we are pleased to that the fund has managed to generate a “return” of 8.5%, the “profit” only gives us a piece of the puzzle. Any accountant worth his salt will tell you that evaluating the performance of a company based purely on a “profit” figure without footnotes, details and context is as good buying a pretty looking car, without evaluating its engines.

For the past 2 consecutive parliamentary sessions in March and June this year, I have submitted questions to the Prime Minister to obtain an update on the investments and performance of 1MDB, including its financial performance such as assets, liabilities etc.

“Tony Pua meminta Perdana Menteri menyatakan prestasi dan kedudukan syarikat 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) sejak ianya ditubuh, termasuklah pelaburan yang telah dibuat, dan nilai 'current assets', 'return on equity' dan 'total assets'.”
 However, in both circumstances, my question wasn't given a proper answer on the pretext that 1MDB has only been set up and the performance and financial data are not ready.

I have once again submitted a similar question on 1MDB for the current session commencing next week and the Prime Minister has no excuse but to release the full details of the investment performance of 1MDB since he has willingly teased us with the profit made by the fund.

For example, Malaysians will be interested to know if the profits of 1MDB is derived from its various investments made to date, or is it purely a profit arising from the injection of assets into 1MDB by the Government. For example, it has been reported in The Star on May 19th that the Government will be transferring the prized land in Sungai Besi, currently the base for the Royal Malaysian Air Force to 1MDB and that this will “basically be a left hand, right hand transfer”.

This means that 1MDB would have gotten this piece of land for “free” from the Government. The question then is, did 1MDB regard the receipt of this piece of land in its accounts as “earnings”, and if so, how much is this piece of land valued at? Hypothetically, if it was valued at RM1 billion, then without this “grant” from the Government, 1MDB would have then made a loss of RM575 million and not a profit.

There is no way for us to know if the above or other hypothetical scenarios are accurate or otherwise, unless the Prime Minister walks the talk about the results “underscoring 1MDB's corporate governance” and make public the full accounts of 1MDB. If Najib is indeed pleased with 1MDB's performance, then there should be absolutely nothing to hide.

In fact, the Prime Minister should not have to wait for the turn for my question to be raised, which could be more than a month away, but immediately make available the full accounts and annual report of 1MDB to be downloaded from the 1MDB website, or at the very least, be available on our respective seats in Parliament when the new session starts on Monday.

As the English idiom goes, “if you've got it, flaunt it”. Don't just tease us with a RM425 million profit, show us the real thing.

DoD Identifies Army Casualty

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Spc. Dennis L. Sellen Jr., 20, of Newhall, Calif., died Feb. 11 in Umm Qasr, Iraq, of non-combat related injuries. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 185th Infantry Regiment, Fresno, Calif.

The incident is under investigation.

For further information on this soldier, contact the California Army National Guard public affairs office at 916. 854. 3304.
--Spencer Ackerman
Out of curiosity, do they ever follow up on the results of the investigations? What sort of non-combat death does a 20 year old normally suffer from?
Blogger dbt | 1:07 PM

No, it's typically up to us to follow up. DOD just puts out the release.
Blogger spencerackerman | 3:50 PM

Do you ever put up notices from OEF? (would ask about Philippines, HOA, etc., but assume those are CLASS)

seahorse totem animal symbolism

Seahorse Totem

Seahorse Totem

The seahorse symbolizes the unusual, things that are not as they appear, loyalty, and being good natured. Seahorses mate for life and not only that, the males are the ones that bear the young, carrying them in their pouch – now how’s that for unusual?

Seahorses often work themselves to exhaustion trying to move through choppy waters. They also have voracious appetites and need to feed almost constantly to sustain themselves. Seahorse people tend to be very colorful and energetic. Sometimes they don’t know when to slow down and will overwork themselves.

Personal Reflection…

When seahorses come to visit it means consider all the possibilities! Don’t limit your perceptions based on preconceived notions because things are not always as they seem. Seahorses can also bring a message to not overdo or work yourself to the point of exhaustion. You should be sure that you are meeting all of your own needs before taking on too many other responsibilities.

Seahorse Dream Symbolism

Seahorses in dreams are said to foretell happy adventures and experiences in the near future.

Learn More About Seahorses

The Seahorse is such an unusual and endearing creature. There are several species, many of whom are endangered. Learn more about their lives and habits in the documentary below.

Tractor Ancestry Challenged
Writers Question Tractor Journalism
September 27, 2015

few days ago TownDock.net featured a tractor on the cover. A Farmall tractor, being given away by the Pamlico History Association. Lacking knowledge in the provenance of said red tractor, TownDock Senior Management went to the historical association web site for further information. And there it was – a Farmall red tractor raffle.

However, as evidenced by two reader letters, that may not be the same red Farmall tractor.

Dear Editor,

In combing thru you recent postings, I find that TownDock’s cub reporter has grossly mis-identified the very desirable Farmall tractor being raffled by our Pamlico Heritage folks.

Rather than being a 1950 Farmall Cub as reported, the tractor is in truth the more powerful and much-coveted Super A. And a 1947 model at that. Farmall Cubs of that vintage delivered a wimpy 8.5 “drawbar” horsepower, whereas the Super A delivered a whopping 16+hp!

Both of these Farmall models were intended to let small-acreage farmers replace their horses and/or mules with a more reliable and arguably more efficient means of powering a plow or cultivator. Farmall’s name for their offset-engine design was “Culti-vision” meaning that, with the engine/radiator/etc offset to the left, the driver could see directly down on the row they were cultivating. This so as to not plow up any precious plantings that might otherwise be hidden under the workings of a regular tractor.

Back when this gentle reader was helping his granddad keep up with 67 acres, genetically-modified “Roundup Ready” corn had not been invented. One had to “cultivate” the corn to keep the weeds out for the first six weeks after germination, or at least until the corn grew high enough to be in danger of being broken over by the passing tractor. (After that, one’s granddad made one take a hoe to the field and chop out the weeds manually) The Super A was the perfect machine to maintain 3 acres of tobacco crop and 8-10 acres of corn. Plus it was so much cooler to be riding the tractory rather than hoeing!

The smaller Farmall Cub was intended for the small-plot farmer or gardener who only needed to oust weeds from much smaller one or two acre plots. So there. Despite the TownDock minion’s Northern upbringing, we are ever hopeful that he can still be taught the critical things a Southern
gentleman must know.

With very best regards,
Sam Myers
Pamlico, NC

Editor’s note: A childhood confined to a two-cycle Tecumseh push mower may have limited TownDock Senior Management’s Farmall knowledge. The editor also bows to the the above writer’s superior hoeing background.

Mr. Editor,

Sir, meaning no disrespect, I must point out, that is not a Cub, it is a Super A. I can say this because I spent a summer trucking tobacco on one of those in 1963. It is a one-row cultivating tractor, not intending to show disrespect for your perspective, but notice the fuselage is offset so the farmer can look down at the row he is plowing without his view obstructed by the fuselage. Did someone say it was a 50, I thought it was 47, it may be that the John Deere M they raffled off a couple of years ago was a 47. The John Deere M was the first tractor I ever drove, a three-speed with a transmission and torque that could pull a building down with only a 21 horsepower engine. The Farmall Super A was best for cultivating, not known for power like the M.

Sir, still meaning no disrespect, down on the farm, one rarely, very rarely used the terminology, International Harvester for a small tractor. It was a Farmall, of course made by made by International Harvester. Now the combines made by IH were often referred to as International Harvesters.

Yours in cultivation,

Ben Casey
Minnesott Beach, NC

The Source: Drug Companies Not Fans Of This Spotlight

Mar 11, 2014

  The push to pay doctors to promote a certain drug is being stymied by the spotlight of full disclosure implemented by the 2010 Physician Payment Sunshine Act. According to ProPublica's databases companies have cut as much as a 62 percent from their payments to doctors.

As full-disclosure approaches for the medical device industry, will we see a similar evaporation in promotional payouts? The $110 billion industry, like US pharmaceuticals, is a world leader often touted for its technological advancements.

Who is paying to get their product into your care? ProPublica has detailed the influence of the healthcare industry on how you are treated in their "Dollars for Docs" series. We speak to them about how the new law is further shedding light on how American healthcare works.
