We Prayed To God Asking Her To Tell Us Her Favorite TV Shows And This Is What She Told Us

Big Bang Theory – God said she loves these little smarty pants dweebs in their pseudo geek culture show otherwise it would have been canceled years ago.

Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul – God loved BB’s Saul so much she divinely inspired Vince Gilligan to put together this spin off. We’re sure glad he did!

American Idol – God loves being surprised by how talented her favorite non-jews are. Americans provide him suprises every week as they belted out songs and made albums that didn’t sell. God says that she’s more into “The Voice” these days thus the end to Idol.

Jay Leno – It was God and not NBC that caused the Tonight Show fiasco with Conan. God said that she needed a new story for the next Bible and subjecting Conan to losing the Tonight Show would be inspirational to future televangelists looking for their next show.

CNN – God says that she doesn’t trust FOX news because they’re blaspheming liars. CSPAN is too dry in her opinion.

5 Aspects of Pokemon That Make No Sense

I love Pokemon. The more I play, the more I find I enjoy it. But playing through White Version (yes, I’m linking back to that review again) has me seeing the real limitations of the series, not from a gameplay standpoint or a graphical or sound quality perspective, but rather from the world of Pokemon itself. The majority of the people that inhabit every region are fairly inept at living their lives with any semblance of intelligence. It’s staggering how regularly you encounter dunces on the road of Pokemon. Don’t believe me? Here are Five Aspects of Pokemon That Make No Sense.

5. The Scientists Are Morons

Tell me that's not true.

In the real world, the majority of scientists strive to better the world through experimentation, research, and invention. We have phones and medicine and basic knowledge thanks to the work of scientists. But in Pokemon, every single scientist is focused on one thing and one thing only: How does this relate to Pokemon, or how can it eventually relate to Pokemon? Pokemon are studied so exclusively that it’s sickening. Disease? Meh, we can probably cure that with Pokemon tears somehow. World hunger? Can’t we just figure out how to make Pokemon feed us? Every scientific breakthrough is reliant on its relation to Pokemon. Naturally, the most respected professors are scientists like Profesor Oak, a Pokemon researcher. Yet in every single game, Oak and his regional equivalents always hand a Pokedex to a 10-year-old and say, “Go find information about every single Pokemon ever…which happens to be about 150 or something.” The Kanto region is located East of the Johto region, a region that contained another 100 Pokemon that Oak had apparently never heard of. That means that either the scientists are too stupid to turn their head to the mountain regions to their left, or no one has thought to invent a region-to-region telephone. “What? You got Pokemon over there, too? That be all crazy, yo!”

4. The Terrorists Wear Kiddie Gloves

"Careful or we'll attack you with HUGS!"

Each new generation insists on hinging the game’s plot on a group of terrorists hell-bent on snagging rare Pokemon, specifically the Legendaries of the game, for no reason other than to rule the world…or something. But despite all their resources, each organization is brought down by none other than a 10-year-old kid with a Pidgey. Why is it that every single encounter with Team Rocket/Magma/Plasma/Whatever consists of a henchman spouting some line like, “You’ll never stop our might,” then a Pokemon battle where you find out the majority of henchmen only have like two or three Pokemon, all the same species or type (usually Dark or Poison because those are “evil” I guess), and when they lose they just yell “No way, how did you beat me?” In the real world this is what would happen: “Hey kid, get the #&%@ out of the way! (Sound of gunfire)” Seriously, these are the bad guys of the world, and yet they have no concept of a gun? Just look at Blastoise! Dude’s got two big ol’ guns mounted to his back! The idea’s right there! I mean I suppose if the scientists haven’t even invented guns yet I can’t blame the terrorists, but losing all your Pokemon in a duel doesn’t mean a rock to the skull wouldn’t be just as effective for getting your way.

The evil plans also seem absurd, even in the world of Pokemon. Take Diamond Version. The terrorist organization wants to capture Dialga, the Pokemon god of time, so that they can control time. Control time. Thankfully they’re defeated and instead Dialga is captured and placed in the hands of…a 10-year-old child. And no one else has a problem with that?

3. The Gym Leaders Don’t Understand Pokemon

Half of these Gym Leaders look more natural asking for spare change.

Considering the world of Pokemon is hinged exclusively on Pokemon, you’d assume that the Gym Leaders of each town would be the most experienced and skillful trainers in the region, correct? I suppose that’s true, but only because everyone else tends to be brain dead. Regardless, every time you enter a gym, you face a few Gym Members before coming up against the Gym Leaders themselves. These should be the end-all beat-all Pokemon battles where your only hope of winning is hard dedication to the craft. Instead, every Gym Leader battle can be won with the simple knowledge of type advantages. Facing a Grass-Type Gym Leader? Oh, one Pokemon with Flamethrower can take care of that. Water-Type Gym? Thunderbolt’s got you covered. Rock-Type? Surf that sucker. None of the Gym Leaders even have a full roster, instead having between two and four Pokemon of the same type. Even the stupid 10-year-old kid has a full roster by the type he reaches the second Gym. Are the Gym Leaders so inept at their own sport that they haven’t bothered to go snag a Rattata as insurance? You know, just to balance things properly? That’s like a Little League team playing against one Major League player. It doesn’t really matter how good that one guy is, he’s not going to be able to beat that entire team by himself. However, a lot of the ridiculousness of the Gym Leaders is explained by the next point on this list…

2. The Pokemon Live According To The One Main Trainer

It's nice that the world is both small enough for a 10-year-old to traverse and also shaped in such a way that he can see everything in one big loop.

No matter which game you play, there is one constant: The wild Pokemon’s levels will be comparable to the levels of your training. This means that by the time you’re near the third major city and have level 18 Pokemon, the wild Pokemon leading to the city are all around level 18 as well. No beginning Pokemon trainer starts in a town surrounded by level 80 Pokemon for some reason. Beyond that, every other character lives their lives according to the path that this one seemingly insignificant 10-year-old child will take, allowing his progress to advance perfectly on schedule. He’s never going to meet a trainer in a city whose Pokemon are 20 levels stronger than every other trainers’ Pokemon, nor will he ever encounter another trainer with a full party except for his rival.

The Pokemon themselves tend to do their best to help the new 10-year-old trainer reach the top of the league as fast as possible. How? By placing themselves by type-advantage right next to the city with a gym that’s weak to their type. Heading into a tough Electric-Type gym? There’s a good chance you’ll find some Ground-Types living nearby. In White Version I discovered that the Gym Leader of the second gym specialized in Normal-Type Pokemon. Low and behold, two different species of Fighting-Type Pokemon, the only type with an advantage over Normal-Type, were living in the grass right next to the town just waiting to be caught.

With the way the world of Pokemon works, it’s not so much that the 10-year-old kid is so special as the rest of the world has decided to make things incredibly simple on him. All of this is possible due in part to the last reason…

1. No One Has Any Other Hobbies

I suppose it'd make sense if you lived under the rule of an oppressive dictator who was obsessed with Pokemon, but that's a stretch.

One of the greatest aspects of the real world is the diversity of cultures, languages, tastes, ideas, activities, etc. You can travel from city to city experiencing a whole range of sights and sounds, meeting fascinating people every step of the way. This isn’t the case in the world of Pokemon. Every single character, no matter how big or small, is obsessed with Pokemon. No one can have a conversation without mentioning Pokemon in some way. Even complete strangers are compelled to tell you every little thing about their life as it relates to Pokemon. “Man, it’s raining today. Did a Pokemon use Rain Dance or something?” “My wife left me. Maybe I shouldn’t have said she looks like a Jigglypuff.” “Aren’t you just sick of hearing about Pokemon? Not me though, I love Pokemon. They’re my favorite.” It’s entirely unrealistic that everyone in the world is fanatically of one mind about Pokemon. People in the real world like animals, but not everyone walks around talking on and on about why they think lions are just super cool. At least, not usually.

What confounds this dedication to one subject and only one subject is the lack of any real skill behind the training of Pokemon. As mentioned before, Gym Leaders don’t know how to make a balanced team, random trainers never figure out the importance of stocking a full team, and no one has seemed to hear of traveling abroad in order to catch more exotic Pokemon from far away lands. The only person in the entire world who “gets it” is the 10-year-old kid who the world has decided will inevitably have the best chance of succeeding, going a long way to emphasis the importance of where you’re born and the opportunities that opens to you (being born in Pallet Town is seriously like being born into Old Money).

Pretty much, Pokemon is one series above any other that exemplifies the adage of “It’s fun to visit but I’d sure hate to live there.” The world, despite being filled with fantastical creatures, is pitifully boring. The people who inhabit it are idiots. Even the most interesting parts of the world can only really be interesting for so long. Once you catch your tenth Legendary Pokemon, it sort of loses its charm. I’m perfectly content visiting Pokemon through a portable screen every so often, but it can stay right where it is in the fantasy realm.

Of course, that’s just me. Perhaps you would have no trouble loving the world of Pokemon every single day of your Poke-filled life. Leave a comment and tell me why that is. Or leave a comment and tell me another reason why you’d hate living among the Pikachu. You might as well start talking about Pokemon already. I mean, it’s not like we have anything better to talk about.

  1. I love your lists. I could spend my whole life with animals, so I would have no problem at all living in the pokemon world!

  2. I like the fact that, during most of the show, you never see anyone mention the fact that pokemon are not inmortal. *cough*lavender town*cough*

    and bathrooms, don’t even get me started.

    I suppose the only other reason people of our relm would go asides global domanation and see how fast you can conquor the idots would be to see if it is possible to make or find a pokemorph.

  3. Great list. I think another thing to mention is the life-long ineptitude of most trainers. I have played a lot of my heart gold version. I have long since beaten the elite four and Red, but I still get random phone calls from random trainers I beat in the earlier stages saying, “Wow I’m so excited! The other day, I barely defeated a Bellsprout with my Pidgey!” Congrats bro. My character is 10 years old and in the few days since I beat you I have beaten the elite four and Red and have become the best trainer in Johto and Kanto. You are forty and you just now managed to kill a Bellsprout.

  4. I like your forums very much and i think they are very funny, for your #1 don’t they cook.

IDB to help finance Egypt projects for $2.5bn

Jeddah, June 15, 2011

Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank is setting aside $2.5 billion for development projects in Egypt over the next three years to support its economy after the ouster of its leader, the bank said on Wednesday.

"To assure the role of the banking group in supporting the development efforts in Egypt, the group decided to offer $2.5 billion in financing over the next three years, that will be intended to finance development projects," the bank said in a statement.

Political turmoil in Egypt led to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11, hurting tourism and spooking foreign investors.

The International Monetary Fund said in April that Egypt faced a funding gap of $10 billion to $12 billion and is projecting slower growth of 1.0 per cent this year, well below its long-term average, after a 5.1 per cent expansion in 2010.

Saudi Arabia pledged in May a $4 billion aid package for Egypt, including a $1 billion deposit at the central bank and $500 million in bond purchases. – Reuters

First Trading Days Of 2009 Greet A Heavy Market at Trader’s Narrative

Today’s market decline isn’t that surprising when you consider that we walked into the new year with a lot of complacency as shown by option traders’ sentiment. As well, we have the McClellan Oscillators at decade extremes for both the Nasdaq and the NYSE.

Here is another view of the market which points to the same general theme of a market that is feeling toppy in the short term:

percent spx above 50 MA Jan 2009

This is the percentage of S&P 500 stocks which are trading above their simple 50 day moving average. I use this to measure the state of the market in general. Things have swung yet again to the extreme which we saw at the October 2007 highs. And yet again in May 2008 before the S&P 500 took another tumble.

Within the time frame of the chart, the only time the market didn’t top out when this technical indicator hit extremes was in October 2006. At that time the S&P 500 continued its slow relentless upward pace until late February 2007. But as it kept climbing, there were less and less constituent stocks powering the index higher.

A much more short term view is that of the percentage of S&P 500 stocks above their 10 day moving average:

percentage stocks SPX 10 day moving average Jan 2009

Right now this is also at an extreme, having swung from zero in October and November 2008 - which by the way has been amazing buy opportunities in the past according to Lowry Research.

But both of these charts provide only a short term view of the market. The percentage of S&P 500 stocks above their 200 day moving average continues to be very low at 3.20%. As it has been since October 2008. Until this number rises, we shouldn’t expect a real rally to be underway.

I've used these for mostly for Scottish winter stuff,…

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: 3mm Rev Leather, Thinsulate lined
Use: Summer alpine, Scottish winter + steep ice
Break-in Period: eg
Weight: 2250g for a pair
Price Paid: £190- $380-ish

I've used these for mostly for Scottish winter stuff, mixed and ice as well as walking. Also in Norway for icefalls.

Boot is really really nice and stinks of quality. The flex ankle makes Scottish walk ins a doddle. Very very comfortable boot and is starting to rival the Nepal Extreme in popularly here in the UK.

However the asymmetric sole, designed for a better dexterity, makes getting a good crampon fit hard in the bigger sizes, the crampon sits off centre because of the sole. I put in 'banana bars' to adjust this, fine for general mountaineering but the front points are too angled inwards for ice I find. As I said this is only a prob with bigger sizes.

Also Scarpa are quite a narrow fit so I went a size bigger than normal. The heel is quite wide at the heel which has proved a problem on steeper stuff. I've just replaced them with a pair of Raichle 90 deg EXP which are a much better fit for my feet.

Overall these have been great for the past 4 years but the fit has been ok for easier stuff but the movement in the heel has become annoying on the steeper ice. Emmm, excuses.

If they fit your feet these will be brilliant. Generally.

Pressure Theory Assignment Help

What is Pressure Theory?

hrust: The total force exerted by a liquid on any surface in contact with it, is called thrust of liquid.
Pressure: The thrust exerted by a liquid (at rest) per unit area of the surface in contact with the liquid is called pressure.

If F is the thrust exerted by a liquid on a surface of area A, Then pressure is given by, p = F/A

The unit of pressure is dyne cm–2 in cgs system and N m–2 in SI. Apressure of 1 N m-2 is also called 1 pascal (Pa).
1 Pa (or 1 N m–2) = 10 dyne cm–2
The dimensional formula of pressure is [M L–1 T–2].
Derivation of pressure at any point in a fluid
Let PA be the atmospheric pressure above the free surface of the liquid. Now let us draw an imaginary cylindrical volume (of section A) inside the liquid. It is in equilibrium because we are dealing with the hydrostatics. Our liquid is incompressible so.
         P0 A + mg – PA = 0    or         PA – P0A = g (y0 –y)A
=>       P = P0 + g (y0 – y)     =>        dp/dy = – Pg                   … (i)
and if   y0 = 0   & y = –h & P0 = PA

P = PA + Pgh                                                               … (ii)

=> If dy < 0           dp > 0              &          dy < 0 dp < 0

Increase height means drop in pressure and decreasing height means increase in pressure.

Find the pressure at a depth of 10m from the free surface of water.

( = 103kg/m3) (PA = 1 × 105Pa)

P = PA + gh = 1 × 105 + 103 × 10 × 10 = 2 × 105 Pa

Because 1 × 105 Pa = 1atmospheric pressure

P = 2atm

The density above a planet varies as  = e–by Where y is the height. Find the pressure at a height ‘h’, p0 is the pressure at ground level.

We have, dp/dy = –g = acceleration due to gravity

∴ dp  = - pg dy

 Pressure is directly proportional to depth and by applying Pascal's law it can be seen that pressure is independent of the size and shape of the containing vessel.

In a car lift, compressed air exerts a force F1 on a small piston having a radius of 5 cm. This pressure is transmitted to the second piston of radius 15 cm. If the mass of the car to be lifted is 1350 kg, what is the pressure necessary to accomplish this task ?

Here,     a1 = p × 52 = 25 p cm2 = 25 p × 10–4 m2;
a2 = p × 152 = 225 p cm2 = 225 p × 10–4 m2
and        F2 = 1350 × 9.8 N

As the pressure is transmitted undiminished,

The required pressure on the piston,

Keep the kids occupied this Summer holiday with a little help from Peppa Pig World at Paultons Family Theme Park

Tuesday 31, May 2011

Keep the kids occupied this Summer holiday with a little help from Peppa Pig World at Paultons Family Theme Park

If you’re want a guaranteed fun-filled day out this summer look no further than Paultons Family Theme Park in Hampshire, which is now home to Peppa Pig World as well as more than 60 other rides and attractions.

Set in over 140 acres of beautiful landscaped parkland on the edge of the New Forest National Park in Hampshire, Paultons Park is still owned and run by the same family that first opened its gates to the public in 1983.

Exclusive to Paultons Park, Peppa Pig World is a magical kingdom that brings to life one of TV’s most popular children’s characters. Featuring seven magical rides, a host of fun animated attractions, indoor and outdoor play areas and a Peppa-themed toy shop, Peppa Pig World is destined to keep little ones entertained for hours. Peppa Pig World is even home to Muddy Puddles water play area and Daddy Pig’s Big Tummy Café! The only difficulty will be getting them home without a grumble, but Peppa Pig herself will be on hand to help.

Paultons Park offers something for everyone from big thrills like EDGE, a swooping, spinning giant disc that travels along a 90-metre track complete with a ‘camelback’ hill,reaching heights of up to 15 metres, and The Cobra, the park’s largest family rollercoaster, to firm family favourites like the Teacup Ride and the Sky Swinger.

There’s plenty to entertain the little ones too with The Flying Frog mini-coaster, a great first-time rollercoaster experience; Seal Falls, a mini log flume; the beautiful garden-themed Trekking Tractors ride; the Magic Forest, where nursery rhymes come to life at the touch of a button.

Water Kingdom, an 8,500-square foot kids’ splash park featuring more than 20 different ways of getting wet including water jets, giant tipping buckets, fountains and super soakers, is a great attraction that the kids are bound to want to splash about in. And those looking for a bit of nostalgia will love The Sky Swinger, a ride that twirls and tilts as it lifts riders six metres above the ground on an aerial journey.

Paultons Park also has a wonderful collection of exotic birds and animals including meerkats, wallabies and giant tortoises. There are numerous attractions from fun playgrounds to educational displays, a museum and a working Victorian waterwheel to be discovered too.

Christmas strike threat for ferry service

Christmas strike threat for ferry service

Christmas travel to and from the Isle of Wight faces serious disruption due to a strike threat at one of the two main ferry companies serving the island.

Wightlink’s Portsmouth to Fishbourne service is threatened by a walk out by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union over the dismissal of a trade union representative.

The RMT said members would strike for 24 hours on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. They will also not work any overtime or rest days from December 24 until further notice.

The ferry operator has already withdrawn Christmas Day sailings to the island from Portsmouth and its Lymington-Yarmoth route due to “unavoidable operational problems”.

Wightlink said it was working on “contingency plans to ensure passengers’ travel arrangements to and from the Isle of Wight can be fulfilled”.

But it added: “The company apologises in advance to its customers for any disruption that will be caused by the forthcoming strike.”

Scottish agents’ anti-APD campaign goes national

Scottish agents’ anti-APD campaign goes national

An online anti-Air Passenger Duty petition instigated by the Scottish Passenger Agents Association (SPAA) is being opened up nationwide.

Following “significant interest” and requests for access, the association has announced it is opening up a link to interested parties across the UK.

SPAA president Kevin Thom said: “The initial response to our ePetition has been heartening as we continue and re-double our efforts to raise public awareness of just how much each passenger is paying to the government in tax each time she or he flies, and we are happy to throw open access to the ePetition invitation, so that anyone who wishes to sign is able to do so with minimal effort.

“We continue to urge members to get behind this initiative, pass the petition on to colleagues and help maximise its impact by gathering as many signatures as possible.

“By working together we will send the strongest possible message to government that this draconian tax is simply unacceptable, and doing real damage to the travel sector and the wider UK economy.”

In Pictures: Amritsar's Exquisite Colors

Sunday, September 28, 2014

Most of us here do share a fascination with Pakistan! I have always wanted to visit that side of the border but I mostly knew the closest I can ever get to Pakistan would be only to the Wagah-Attari Border. So when the folks at Microsoft Lumia invited me to go on a trip to Amritsar, I jumped at the opportunity.

Colour of Amritsar

Wagah-Attari Border Ceremony

Situated 25kms from the city of Amritsar, Attari is a village 3kms before the India-Pakistan international border at Wagah. The pleasant surprise after reaching Attari was that Punjab Tourism had arranged for us to be seated right next to the Iron Gate on the Indian side. Across the gate was Pakistan! I looked that way more than I watched the Indian side- so tantalisingly close, yet so unreachable.

Since 1959, an elaborate border ceremony has been staged every evening and continues till date. Michael Palin called this ceremony "carefully choreographed contempt" and I think that's an apt description. Tall people from Border Security Force (India) and Pakistan Rangers (Pakistan) march, salute, stomp and enact aggression. Respective country folks are incited to cheer for their country and the audience is more than happy to indulge in the shoutfest.  Just before sunset, the iron gates are opened. The flags are simultaneously lowered and folded. Then the soldiers retreat with the flags and the iron gates are shut. It's a strange ceremony between two countries that share so much history and animosity. It's interesting nonetheless and it's the closest I'll probably get to that side!

Wagah Border Ceremony, Amritsar
Flags being lowered at sunset at Wagah Border.

(With 41 Mega Pixels, the biggest advantage is you can shoot first and seriously compose later. In all that chaos, I managed to sneak up onto the road getting a clear view of Pakistan and quickly took some shots before I was chased back to the side. Later at home, I cropped the picture and it's still has an excellent resolution!)

India Pakistan Border Ceremony, wagah
Before the ceremony begins, visitors on the Indian side are allowed to run to the gates holding up the Indian Flag. Lots of kids seemed to be loving it. And if you're wondering, no, I did not run. ;)

Looking into Pakistan
Window to Pakistan, the other side! From where we were sitting, this was the view right next to us. The arena filled up eventually but compared to that side, there was a sea of humanity on this side of the gate, obviously.

Fawad Khan, Sonam Kappor, Kirron Kher, Movie Promotion
Do you recognize anyone here? Yep, that's the cast of Khoobsoorat promoting their movie. It was really funny to see Fawad Khan sitting on the Indian side listening to all the cheers of Indians against Pakistan. I wonder which PRs sick idea was it to get him to the border!

I keep saying I'm not a temple person and I keep getting blown away by temple after temple! Getting up at 3.30AM is not exactly my idea of fun but hey, duty calls! We were on our way to witness the Palki Sahib ceremony where the holy book, Granth Sahib is moved to the sanctum in a palanquin. We did see the procession but what blew my away was the beauty and serenity of the Golden Temple. In the night, the temple glowed and reflected in the pool of nectar surrounding the structure. By morning, the red of the sun reflected in the holy waters. The temple itself, at the centre of the pool was extremely beautiful with intricate marblework with embedded gems quite similar to Taj Mahal. Inside, every inch of the wall and ceiling was covered in elaborate designs made of gold embossing and other bright colors. I was lost in the two floors of the sanctum marvelling at the intricacy of the fine Sikh craftsmanship.

Golden Temple, Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar
When the sun rises, the first light falls on the temple and it's easily one of the best times to visit. In the pool of nectar, as it's called, there are huge fishes that add color to the scene. In the centre, however, is a devotee taking a holy dip before visiting the temple.

Early morning at Golden Temple, Amritsar
Thousands of pilgrims throng the temple everyday and they bring such a huge array of diversity and color with them that it is fascinating to just watch them go by.

Night Reflections at Golden Temple, Amritsar
This was the view that greeted us 4 in the morning! The reflections of the temple and the watch towers were so impressive that I kept staring at the view.
(I'm actually quite impressed with the low light capability of the Lumia, it captures the scene in great detail and I'm a bit sad to report that it looks like the Lumia handles low light better than my DSLR does at the moment)

Roti preparation at Langar, Golden Temple, Amritsar
Women adding final touches to the rotis in the community kitchen called Langar where free food is served to everyone visiting the Gurudwara irrespective of any distinctions. The whole of the roti making process is automated, just the last step of applying butter is done manually by the women.

Got a bit adventurous and took this people shot. Not my forte at all, but with such a small yet powerful camera, I could get used to taking portraits of people! ;)

The Old and The Colorful - Lanes of Amritsar

After the visiting the Wagah Border and Golden Temple, our group descended upon the old streets of Amritsar. I wasn't sure what I would photograph in the city but the old city turned out to be quite colorful and really really old. Every lane had interesting visuals and the colors were mindblowing. Add to that, I was shadowing the talented Sid - The Wanderer who specializes in street and portrait photography. So, with the help of an inconspicuous camera and an expert I actually quite enjoyed taking these street shots!

Old lanes of Amritsar
Show me blue and I'm already in love with the place. For some strange reasons, many of those old city lanes were bathed in generous blue.

We called him the Afghan Guy, he had the look.

This kid wanted a piece of the action, he was excited looking at all attention the Afghan guy was getting. If there's a willing model, I'm more than happy to shoot! I'm sure the kid must've been disappointed to see I wasn't shooting him with the big professional camera. ;)

An old abandoned temple right in the middle of the lane was painted all in blue. Blue, pretty and ruined - I can easily spend hours here photographing but we made it out in about 10 minutes.

Colorful, wasn't it?

But there was lot of food!
Apart from all the roaming around, we also ate a lot of food. Because, none other than MasterChef Vikas Khanna was showing us around and taking us to his favorite food joints in Amritsar. I could talk about it but I would be as lost as a blind man in a maze! So allow me to direct you to the expert's post - Kalyan Karmakar, better known as Finely Chopped has written about the food trail, go read - A food safari in Chef Vikas Khanna’s Amritsar

Create Disposable Email Address in Firefox with

Often you encounter web sites which require you to supply your email address for viewing, downloading or accessing some content. If you give your regular email address to them, there is a slight probability that you would soon start receiving spam on that address. But if you are a Firefox user, then you can install the add-on which can automatically generate a disposable email address and fill it in the email address fields. The benefit of the disposable address is that you can use it once and forget about it. Here is how :

  1. Visit in your Firefox browser.
  2. Click on the green colored button labeled Add to Firefox. Disposable Email addresses

  3. Click on the Install Now button in the Software Installation window that pops up. You will have to restart the Firefox browser in order to activate this add-on. Disposable Email addresses

  4. After restarting the Firefox browser, you will see a popup window from where you have to register for a new account. This account is necessary for you to create and later access the disposable email addresses, so go ahead and register a new account. Disposable Email addresses

  5. Now you are ready to use the TrashMail add-on. Using it is pretty easy. Just right-click in the text field where you want to fill the TrashMail disposable email address and choose Paste disposable address as shown. Disposable Email addresses

  6. You will be asked various parameters like number of forwards, expiration time etc. After choosing the parameters of your choice, click on the Create email button to create your disposable email address. It will be auto-filled in the selected text field. Disposable Email addresses

  7. That’s it. Now when someone sends you a message to this disposable email address, it would be forwarded to your real email address. The “number of forwards” parameter that you set when creating the disposable email address determines how many forwards are possible. You can access all your disposable email addresses and other settings by visiting

Although there are many other disposable email address services available over the internet, the add-on makes it really easy to create and use disposable email addresses by integrating the service right into the Firefox web browser. You can create free disposable email addresses and paste them directly in web forms. This helps to protect you from spam mails and could be useful when subscribing to forums or newsletters.

By TK Chua
Dr Michael Jeyakumar, I think you should seriously save us trouble. Disband your party and join either PKR or DAP to further your ideals from there. We do not need another fissure within the opposition bloc.
It is good to have parties like PSM and personalities like Jeyakumar. But I don’t think much can be achieved by the party and Jeyakumar if they stand alone.
PSM and Jeyakumar can achieve much more if they embrace either PKR or DAP. There are enough similarities in policy and ideals in those two parties to further the cause of PSM.
Politics is about power and policies. What can Jeyakumar and PSM achieve by providing “periphery” services to the people in Sungai Siput? I think nothing will change even if they continue doing the same thing for the next 30 years.
I understand Jeyakumar is a compassionate politician. But it is the job of politicians to focus on the big picture if they want fundamental change.
It is good to help a poor student or a sick patient, but it is better that the system we fight for is able to provide these services for all. It is good that we have gotong-royong to clear a clogged drain, but it is better that the local authorities are able to do it routinely.
Sometimes “popular personalities” may lead to a false sense of belief and confidence. The Seenivasagam brothers from Perak were also very popular in the early years of our independence. But what is the point if people with good intentions are divided?
We each think we are bigger than others and we each fight for our own ideals. In the end, nothing is achieved. I urge Jeyakumar not to repeat the Seenivasagam saga.
I don’t think it is viable for PSM to stand as an independent party. It will only create more confusion and dissension among the people. I am sure PKR or DAP can find the space within the party to accommodate PSM’s ideals and policies.

Scientific Name

**Ephemerella invaria

This common name refers to only one species.

Mayfly Species Ephemerella invaria

These are sometimes called Great Eastern Sulphurs.
This species, the primary "Sulphur" hatch, stirs many feelings in the angler. There is nostalgia for days when everything clicked and large, selective trout were brought to hand. There is the bewildering memory of towering clouds of spinners which promise great fishing and then vanish back into the aspens as night falls. There is frustration from the maddening selectivity with which trout approach the emerging duns--a vexing challenge that, for some of us, is the source of our excitement when Sulphur time rolls around.

Ephemerella invaria is one of the two species frequently known as Sulphurs (the other is Ephemerella dorothea). There used to be a third, Ephemerella rotunda, but entomologists recently discovered that invaria and rotunda are a single species with an incredible range of individual variation. This variation and the similarity to the also variable dorothea make telling them apart exceptionally tricky.

As the combination of two already prolific species, this has become the most abundant of all mayfly species in Eastern and Midwestern trout streams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide all props and supplies with a rental?
Yes, everything you and your guests need to enjoy the photo booth is included with the rental fee.

Is there a limit on the number of sessions in the booth during the rental?
No, the only limit will be if you run out of time!

How much does it cost to rent a photo booth?
It depends somewhat upon the length of the rental period. Please check our pricing page HERE.

How do I find out if a photo booth is available on our event date?
If you are booking several months in advance, there's a good chance your event date is available. To make certain, please call us at 302-722-7566 or email us with the date, city and Zip Code of the event's location.

Why do I have to pay a deposit to rent a photo booth?

A deposit insures that a client has reserved a booth for the date requested.

Will someone help the guests use the photo booth during the rental period?

Yes, an attendant will be on hand to show your guests how to operate the photo booth, answer any questions that they may have, replenish printer paper and ink cartridges and troubleshoot any problem that may arise. At the end of your event, the attendant also will provide you with a Flash Drive containing all of the photo booth images taken during your event.

How many photos can a photo booth take during the rental period?
Take all the photos you want, but understand that the total number of photos that can be taken is limited by the number of photos the photo booth equipment can process. Although other photo booth providers may claim more, processing more than around 30 sessions per hour is unrealistic no matter how fast the computer processes the image and the printer creates the prints. People need at least 60 seconds to enter the photo booth, understand what they must do, take their photos, and exit the booth. But this process, for a variety of reasons, often takes longer. Usually that means––give or take––about 30 sessions per hour.

Can I get copies of the digital images taken in the photo booth?
Yes, a Flash Drive with all the images on it is included in the price of some of our packages. If you're still around following your event, your photo booth attendant will give it you then. If you're not, we will give it to a family member or mail it to you.

Can a custom message or logo be printed on the photos?

Yes, a personal message and a graphic or logo can be printed on the same sheet as your photos. If you choose this option, your personal message and graphic must be submitted to Pic A Booth at least two weeks prior to the event date.

Will the digital images from our event be available online?

No, at this time we are working with vendors to determine the best possible solution for providing online galleries for our clients. A lot of our clients like the fact that they have the power to choose if and when their images get posted to the web.

I see a lot of photo booths renting for $900, $1300, even $1500. How are your prices kept so competitive?
Our secrets to providing low cost photo booth are just that secrets! What we can tell you is that Pic A Booth photo booths are lightweight and portable, which minimizes the number of people and the size of the vehicle required to move them, which reduces transportation and delivery costs and--in turn--reduces our cost to you.

What happens when I step into the photo booth?
When you walk into the booth, follow the instructions on the touch screen. Get your props ready and have fun! Depending on the setup and type of event three or four pictures will be taken. Seconds after you step out of the booth your pictures will be ready!

What do I do now?
Call us today to book your rental!

The Epistle of James is the first in a group of epistles customarily called General Epistles, which includes James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, and Jude. They are designated as general or “catholic” epistles in the sense that they are universal, not being addressed to any particular individual or church, but to the church as a whole.

The problem of authorship is a major one. There is no question that James wrote the Epistle of James, but which James was the author? Some find at least four men by the name of James in the New Testament. I believe that you can find three who are clearly identified:

1. James, the brother of John and one of the sons of Zebedee. These two men were called “sons of thunder” by our Lord (see Mark 3:17). He was slain by Herod who at the same time put Simon Peter into prison (see Acts 12:1–2).

2. James, the son of Alphaeus, called “James the less” (see Mark 15:40). He is mentioned in the list of apostles, but very little is known concerning him. I automatically dismiss him as the author of this epistle.

3. James, the Lord’s brother. He was a son of Mary and of Joseph, which made him a half brother of the Lord Jesus. In Matthew 13:55 we read: “Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?” In the beginning, the Lord’s brethren did not believe in Him at all, but the time came when James became head of the church at Jerusalem.

In Acts 15 James seems to have presided over that great council in Jerusalem. At least he made the summation and brought the council to a decision under the leading of the Holy Spirit. I believe it was this James whom Paul referred to in Galatians 2:9, “And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.” This James is the man whom we believe to be the author of this epistle.

This epistle was written about A.D. 45–50. There have been those who have said that James wrote his epistle to combat the teachings of Paul; they argue that James emphasizes works while Paul emphasizes faith. However, the earliest of Paul’s epistles, 1 Thessalonians, was written about A.D. 52–56. Therefore, even Paul’s first epistle was not written until after the Epistle of James, which was the first book of the New Testament to be written.

It is clear that James’ theme is not works, but faith—the same as Paul’s theme, but James emphasizes what faith produces. Both James and Paul speak a great deal of faith and works. They give us the two aspects of justification by faith, both of which are clear in the writings of Paul:

1. Faith—we are not justified by works. Paul wrote, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8–9). And he also wrote, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us …” (Titus 3:5).

2. Works—we are justified for works. In Titus 3:8 Paul says, “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works….” In Ephesians 2:10 he tells us, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Faith is the root of salvation—Paul emphasizes that; works are the fruit of salvation—that is the thing James emphasizes. Or, we can express it this way: Faith is the cause of salvation, and works are the result of salvation.

When Paul says that works will not save you, he is talking about the works of the Law. When James emphasizes that works are essential, he is talking about works of faith, not works of the Law. He said, “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works” (James 2:18). God looks down and sees your heart, and He knows whether you believe or not—that is justification by faith. But your neighbor next door doesn’t see your heart; he can only judge by your works, the fruit of your faith.

The following are what I consider to be the two key verses of this epistle. “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22). “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:20).

The Epistle of James deals with the ethics of Christianity, not doctrine. He is really going to bear down on the practical, but he will not get away from the subject of faith. James was evidently a very practical individual. Tradition says that he was given the name “Old Camel Knees” because he spent so much time in prayer.

Due to its practical nature, this epistle has been compared to the Book of Proverbs as well as to the Sermon on the Mount. James argues that justification by faith is demonstrated by works; it must be poured into the test tube of works (ch. 1–2), of words (ch. 3), of worldliness (ch. 4), and of a warning to the rich (ch. 5).

Poems & Quotes

James 1:1-3

"Someone in the Middle Ages said, 'God nothing does, nor suffers to be done, but what we would ourselves, if we could see through all events of things as well as He.'"
          –Dr. J. Vernon McGee

James 1:3-13

Is there no other way, Oh God,
Except through sorrow, pain and loss?
To stamp Christ's likeness on my soul,
No other way except the cross?
And then a voice stills all my soul,
That stilled the waves of Galilee,
Cans't thou not bear the furnace
If midst the flames I walk with thee?
I bore the cross, I know its weight,
I drank the cup I hold for thee.
Cans't thou not follow where I lead?
I'll give thee strength, lean hard on Me.
          –Author unknown

James 1:19-22

The Gospel is written a chapter a day
By deeds that you do and by words that you say.
Men read what you say, whether faithless or true.
Say, what is the Gospel according to you?
          –Author unknown

James 1:22-25

It's easier to preach than to practice;
It's easier to say than to do.
Most sermons are heard by the many,
But taken to heart by the few.
          –Author unknown

James 3:1-4

If your lips would keep from slips,
Five things to observe with care:
To whom you speak, of whom you speak,
And how, and when, and where.
          –Author unknown

"The boneless tongue, so small and weak,
Can crush and kill," declared the Greek.
"The tongue destroys a greater horde,"
The Turk asserts, "than does the sword."
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
"A lengthy tongue, an early death."
Or sometimes takes this form instead,
"Don't let your tongue cut off your head."
"The tongue can speak a word whose speed,"
say the Chinese, "outstrips the steed."
While Arab sages this impart;
"The tongue's great storehouse is the heart."
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung,
"Though feet should slip, ne'er let the tongue."
The sacred writer crowns the whole,
"Who keeps the tongue, doth keep his soul."
          –From Charles Spurgeon's "Salt Cellars"

James 3:14—4:4

Life on earth would not be worth much if every source of irritation were removed. Yet most of us rebel against the things that irritate us, and count as heavy loss what ought to be rich gain. We are told that the oyster is wiser; that when an irritating object, like a bit of sand, gets under the mantle of his shell, he simply covers it with the most precious part of his being and makes of it a pearl. The irritation that it was causing is stopped by encrusting it with the pearly formation. A true pearl is therefore simply a VICTORY over irritation. Every irritation that gets into our lives today is an opportunity for pearl culture. The more irritations the devil flings at us, the more pearls we may have. We need only to welcome them and cover them completely with love, that most precious part of us, and the irritation will be smothered out as the pearl comes into being. What a store of pearls we may have, if we will!
          –Dr. Richard H. Seume (as quoted by Dr. Lehman Strauss in his book, James Your Brother)

James 4:5-17

“Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you to conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them; show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself as to others. If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration, just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.”

"I carry this in the back of my Bible, everywhere I go, and every now and then I get it out and read it. This was written by Fenelon, a great saint and mystic of the Middle Ages."
         –Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Black hills bow hunting Provides plenty of Cover

Few people outside of the bow hunting community have a firm understanding of what it is that Black Hills blow hunting truly provides.

The shrubbery becomes instantly important for a bow hunter because it allows you to have the necessary cover to effectively sneak up on your prey. Animals are generally faster than humans so it is necessary to get close enough and trees provide the means.

Aria Kulseth, 10 months, left, rests, while Laurie Jesch-Kulseth, right, checks the email on her iPhone while her son, Aanen, Kulseth, 2, center, and a neighbor’s son, Luke Andersen, right, play on rocks on their way to Bread and Chocolate, September 2, 2009. (Pioneer Press: Jean Pieri)

When Laurie Jesch-Kulseth gets a craving for fennel while at the supermarket with her two young kids, she doesn’t just grab a batch of the tasty herb and head for the register.

She whips out her iPhone, searches the Web for a good recipe incorporating fennel, fetches the extra ingredients and has a family dinner on the table within hours. Ah, the power.

“I don’t have to waste time,” the 35-year-old St. Paul woman said. “I can get it all, then and there.”

Jesch-Kulseth is an “iPhone mom,” a high-tech successor to the soccer mom and the hockey mom.

Such modern mothers, both the working and stay-at-home types, have lately seized on Apple’s consumer-friendly smartphone as a means for bringing order to their hectic lives. This is a dramatic break from the recent past, when smartphones were primarily business-related and, to a large extent, male-centric devices.

Women now account for nearly 40 percent of iPhone users, according to the ComScore market research firm, and more than 43 percent of BlackBerry users. Of all women, those 25 to 44 are likeliest to use smartphones, according to June ComScore figures.

And with the hot-selling iPhone primarily positioned as a consumer gizmo, unlike more-businessy BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile devices, iPhone moms are emerging as consumer-tech icons.

At least one study with “iPhone mom” in the title has been released, iPhone-mom Web sites and message boards are popping up, and top tech sites like TechCrunch are noting this trend. The iPhone is the dominant smartphone among members of a “mom panel” regularly convened by Trendera, a Los Angeles market-research company that monitors consumer-related trends, according to founder Jane Buckingham.

BlackBerrys also are popular, especially with working moms, Buckingham said, but the iPhone is easier for a self-sufficient mother without office tech support to use. The iPhone “is cool,” she added. “Mothers today want to be hip.”

Moms “once tended to be late adopters of smart mobile devices,” said Pat Lilja, a marketing and public-relations strategist at Minneapolis-based Tunheim Partners. “But the iPhone has had such fantastic word-of-mouth promotion that a lot of moms have picked it up. They’re looking up stuff while walking the store aisles or sitting in coffee shops.”

For iPhone moms, an Internet-connected handset with a wide variety of downloadable applications acts as a weather watcher, a price researcher, an address locator, a schedule reminder, an isolation destroyer, an e-book reader and much more.

Jesch-Kulseth and her husband, Radd Kulseth, recently popped for his-and-hers handsets. While Kulseth, an attorney, largely uses his iPhone for work, his wife uses hers to keep a handle on the home front. She never wonders which fruits and vegetables are in season, for instance, because her Locavore application tells her. It even links her to Epicurious, a Web-based recipe database, for tips on how to use those fruits and veggies.

Jesch-Kulseth keeps shopping lists in her note-taking app. She uses a nutrition app to calculate how many calories she burns on walks with her 10-month-old daughter. When her 3-year-old son gets antsy, she lets him use a light saber app. While at a park near her home, she uses a National Public Radio app for a bit of audio enlightenment and cruises news sites for the latest headlines. A Facebook app keeps her in touch with friends and family.

“I love the iPhone,” she said.

So does her neighbor and pal, Mattie Andersen, another new iPhone mom. So many Apple phones are turning up at playgrounds and rec centers that trend watchers and marketing experts are taking notice — and trying to figure out how to profit from this growing demographic.

Belkin, for instance, has developed bright, stylish cases with iPhone moms in mind — they are easy to grip and easy to spot in the bottom of a purse.

Greystripe, an advertising network focused on mobile devices, has encouraged its clientele to target iPhone-using mothers via prominent ads embedded in a range of free iPhone apps. A recent Greystripe report titled “The iPhone Mom” highlights the powerful role of such women as primary decision makers when it comes to household buying.

That describes LouAnn Olson of Hopkins, who was recently shoe shopping for her young daughter and wondering whether to drop $80 or so on an adorable pair of sequined Lilly Kellys. She fired up the browser on her iPhone and price-checked the shoes in other physical and online outlets. She found she could get the shoes cheaper elsewhere.

“On the majority of items for the home, I am the one who is the researcher and the buyer,” said Olson. Her iPhone has made this easier, she noted, because she can look up prices on the spot, not wait until she is at her computer back home.

Heather Hultgren of California also is in charge of household finances, and she keeps a tight rein on spending by buying everything — even clothing for her two kids — on eBay. It’s a breeze for her lately since she monitors auctions or makes direct purchases using eBay’s iPhone app while on the move instead of being chained to her home computer.

“I’ll do this while at the store or while waiting for the kids to get out of school,” she said. “I punch it up in real time.”

Rachel Larson of Maple Grove launches the iPhone app regularly to read user reviews of products she is thinking about buying. As a new parent, she also finds her iPhone useful for staying on top of baby-related duties.

“Before, I was trying to go on memory, which is really tough. When you have a baby, your mind is in a fog,” she said.

A baby-tracker app her husband found for her has been a “lifesaver app,” she said, for keeping track of when her son last ate, what he ate and how much more breast milk she has to pump to stay on schedule. The iPhone’s integrated calendar comes in handy, too, for documenting baby milestones and reminding herself about doctor appointments, she noted.

Jennifer Niska of Ramsey is new to Minnesota, so her iPhone with its built-in Google Maps and Global Positioning System features has become a savior for navigating unfamiliar terrain.

“I never have any idea what’s near me,” Niska said, but with the iPhone mapping, “I can find a grocery store, a place to eat or the nearest Sports Authority for some workout clothing.”

Because her 2-year-old son suffers from severe allergic reactions to nuts, Niska also often needs to look up product information at the grocery store, such as whether a particular foodstuff is made or packaged in a plant that also handles products containing nuts. The iPhone’s modern browser has been a lifesaver in this sense, she said.

In addition, she uses an ICE (“in case of emergency”) app that is loaded up with medical information, like details about her son’s allergies and contact information for doctors. This keeps the info close at hand when needed and gives her peace of mind since others could find it if she were in a car crash or other accident.

In that sense, she said, her iPhone could literally be a lifesaver.

October 4 1967 - Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia

A short summary, click the link below for the full story:

A UFO, or orange lights in the sky, was witnessed by numerous people the night of Oct 4th 1967. They say these lights crashed into Shag Harbor. A light could be seen on the water shortly after the crash. By the time some local fisherman got to the area of the crash, the light was gone. Local officials & the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sent down divers thinking this could have been an airplane accident. Nothing was found.

Fast forward to 1993. The story gets picked up by Chris Styles a MUFON researcher. Styles was joined by Doug Ledger who also is with MUFON. What they uncover is truly amazing. Apparently the craft navigated about 30 miles south underwater to a place called 'Governors Point' close to a US sub tracking base.

This USO was picked up on sonar and navy vessels were sent to investigate. The ships were positioned directly over it.  A couple of days went by and navy were thinking of starting a salvage operation to recover the craft. This is when a 2nd USO comes to the aid of 1st one and appears to repair it.

After about a week some of the monitoring vessels were dispatched to intercept an approaching Russian sub. At this time the 2 USO's made there way to the gulf of Maine. They were able to get away from the trailing navy vessels break the surface and fly away. Truly amazing.

"Dark Object" by Don Ledger and Chris Styles, Dell Publishing, ISBN: 0-440-23647-9

1952 UFO Events- 1952 was a good year for UFO/USO events and sitings

USO Sightings

USO - Unidentified Submerged Objects These are the same as UFO's but can operate underwater as well as in the atmosphere or sky. There has been recent activity near Puerto Rico and the Bermuda Triangle.  Some believe there are underwater bases in that area. The History Channel had a great program on these USO's.

The USS Franklin Delanore Roosevelt aircraft carrier was the first naval ship to carry nuclear weapons . For this reason, many say the USS FDR was also a magnet for USO sitings.  With multiple sitings with multiple reliable eye witnesses, these cases become hard to debunk.

Sept 20 1952  Operation Mainbrace

A multinational force made up of US & British naval ships.  USO approach the FDR and are witnessed by many people. Apparently a British ship had a close encounter as well.

Sept 20 1952 7:30pm

3 Danish officers participating in the multinational exercises observe a USO approach their ship. It hovers awhile then disappears. 24hrs later 6 British officers see them emerge from the water and head towards their ship

Oct 2 1963 - Radar Operator on the FDR Off the coast of Sardinia, radar operator Jordan noticed a blip on his radar screen. It  moved across his screen at altitudes and faster then anything he had seen before. It approached the FDR slowed, then just disappeared. He was never able to tell if the craft went into the water or not.

Rumor has it that Dwight Eisenhower may have even been present on the FDR during at least one of these USO events.

Santa Catalina Channel, Ca

A large object was observed by several witnesses. This object was also picked up on sonar. It was floating on the surface of the Pacific ocean. Several smaller ufo's were released from this mother-ship prior to its submerging. Sonar tracking had it heading south towards the Santa Catalina Channel before disappearing.

June 14th 1992

Santa Catalina Channel, Ca.

Over 200 craft were seen emerging from the Ocean. They hovered for several seconds then flew off. Many witnesses filed reports.

Golfo Nuevo, 650 miles south of Buenos Aires.

Argentinean Navy tracked 2 USOs thinking they were United States submarines. Eventually, the two items broke apart and flew out to the water.

March 1963

100 off the coast of Puerto Rico

Naval ships and submarines were conducting exercises when one US sub began chasing a USO that they identified as traveling above 150 knots, deepth was 20000 feet. Most submarines have a crush limit of 7000 feet. This object was tracked for 4 days, at times reaching tremendous speeds

November 11th 1972

Sognefjord Norway

The Norwegian Navy tracked an unidentified undersea object in the Songefjord waters. Helicopters, ships and sub hunters were dispatched to locate the object. On Nov 20th the USO exited the water and was described as 'huge' and 'cigar shaped'. One of the navy ships fired on it and it sank back down into the water. The navy's depth charges did nothing. They planned to block the fjord but the uso disappeared.

October 4th 1967

`Seismic political change` coming to Europe, says Nigel Farage
Date 02/12/2010 14:29  Author webmaster  Hits 3527  Language Global
"We're going to see great massive seismic political change in Europe over the next few years." - Nigel Farage MEP

"I don't think that the bailouts that we've seen so far this year will be the last," UKIP Leader Nigel Farage told Eric King on King World News on Wednesday (December, 1).

"You've got countries like Ireland and Greece trapped in deflationary spiral, whose government has now been taken over by European institutions and because they haven't got their own currency; because they're trapped inside this economic prison which is called the euro, they are facing very, very grim futures indeed."

"It means that unemployment in those countries will continue to rise; it means their opportunities in trade cannot be enhanced in any way at all, and really what's happening is millions of people, who are losing their jobs and finding life tough are being made the fall-guys for this European project, because nobody dares to admit that actually they've got this whole thing wrong; that Europe is a continent of different peoples who speak different languages, who have different patterns of business.

"We can be friends together, we can trade together, we can cooperate together, but we can not ever be one state. We're just too different."

"Whichever way you look at it, Ireland is actually trapped in deflation.  What is happening in the rest of the EU is that we're seeing some signs of inflation and right across the world we have commodity price rises and we will have an environment very shortly, where interest rates, which are now set in Frankfurt by the European Central Bank will start to go up," he said.

"The Irish government is clearly in terminal decline as it deserves to be. It is through the greed and stupidity of the Irish government that they signed up to the euro project and agreed with the Eurocrats. It is they that have now pulled the EU in to bail out the banks and the economy and to take control of everything. And of course confidence in the Irish government has gone, so it's time for a general election. Unbelievably, one of the European commissioners, a nondescript Finn called Olie Rehn, said you can't have an election in Ireland until first you agreed a four-year budget.

"So here we have an unelected bureaucracy, based in a glass and steel tower in Brussels telling Ireland when they can and can not have a general election and that makes me so angry, so I ask the question: 'Just who the hell do you people think you are?'

"It is a total denial of democracy. We're seeing the beginning of a Euro state that is dictatorial in style and design. It is dangerous. It is mad. It is bad."

But will the eurozone survive?

Quoting former Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont, Mr Farage said:  'If they survive this crisis, they won't survive the next crisis, because they're beginning to be held in contempt by the public.'

"And that really is the point, that all of this - this whole project, this whole dream, this whole modern sort of Marxism, which is basically what it is - this has been imposed upon the peoples of Europe without their view being sought. And in the case of France and the Netherlands, when they did give their opinion, they simply ignored them and continued.

"The reason I say they are very, very dangerous people is: the whole point of a parliamentary democracy is to be able to change the government.

"If you say to people: it doesn't matter how you vote anymore, because we're in charge - [that] it's the institutions of Brussels that will decide what maternity legislation you have... what your carbon emission policy is... what your corporation tax rates are... Once people realise that who they vote for in general elections has become no more than a charade, then if they want to change things all they're left with is civil disobedience and violence. And we're beginning to see this already.

In response to whether he feels any safer with police-state tools, such as CCTV monitoring, Nigel Farage said:

"I don't feel any safer at all. What I feel is that in the so called 'war on terror', which of course has been the excuse that is being used for all of this stuff, that actually we've lost so many of our liberties, so many of our freedoms, and increasingly government tells us what we can and can't do.

"There is too much governmental control of our lives. The continual building-up of data on individuals is worrying.

"I don't feel any safer through this stuff at all and I am really fearful that we may be heading towards a time when the state starts to use some of this data to deal with people that do not agree with its views. We're not that far away from it.

"'Nineteen Eighty Four' was supposed to be a warning, fictionary novel, not a handbook for governments in the 21st century. It is Orwellian."

"One thing I do sense in Britain and in other European countries... is that it is the younger generation who are very, very alert to all of this and really don't like what's going on at all.

What about the potential use of terror by the government?

"Well it could be. I made the point again that all the while you have relatively benign governemnts, building up data... you can say that's okay, they're only doing this in the 'war on terror', they're only doing this because they want to protect us. But what happens when you get bad government? What happens if you come from a country like Greece or Ireland where effectively the unelected European Commission has now taken over your country? Then we have a situation where the state can start to use this data... on individuals using different tools of oppression. Perhaps if we said this five or ten years ago, people would have laughed. I don't think they'll laugh now."

Why are people allowing themselves to be governed from Brussels?

"The realisation is that it is the political class - the emergence of the professional career political class right across the Western world in each of the member state countries. These are the people who have signed up to the European project. These are the people that have denied their own electorate the truth... that consistently have been trying to stop the people from having referendums on their own constituitonal future and I think we're going to see great massive seismic political change in Europe over the next few years," Mr Farage said.

"I just hope and pray that that seismic change is towards people who actually believe in democracy. I hope that what we don't see and what I feel we will see is extreme nationalist governments beginning to succeed.

"Let's not forget that Mussolini and Hitler came to power through the ballot box in the first place. My fear is that we begin to see the rise of that kind of movements again. ... We need good, moderate, sensible democratic solutions to that and that's what I'm committed to."

Former Nashua North coordinator Laurendi to coach Merrimack football

New Hampshire Union Leader

March 04. 2013 9:26PM

After spending five seasons as the offensive coordinator at Nashua North, Dante Laurendi decided that he'd like to run his own program again. He'll get that chance this fall, when he'll enter his first season as Merrimack High School's football coach.

Laurendi, who spent three years as Manchester Memorial's head coach, interviewed for the Merrimack job in late February and said he was offered the job last weekend.

"Initially I was interested, but I didn't jump at it," Laurendi said. "I talked it over with my family and started to get the itch to be a head coach again. It's also an opportunity for a new challenge. I know it's a really good sports town."

Laurendi, 40, replaces Joe Battista, whose five-year tenure as Merrimack's head coach ended when he resigned earlier this year. The Tomahawks are 15-40 during the last five seasons, and have made one playoff appearance since they lost to Manchester Central in the 1995 Division I championship game.

Merrimack, which was 0-11 last year, will move from Division II to Division I next season, when the NHIAA will introduce a three-division format. The Tomahawks will be in a conference that includes Pinkerton Academy, Goffstown, Londonderry and Salem.

"Now that Division I and II are combined, anywhere you go it's going to be tough," Laurendi said. "I know there are good athletes here because they're good in the other sports."

Laurendi lives in Nashua and teaches at Nashua North. He attended Nazareth High in Brooklyn, and graduated from Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, Conn.) in 1996.

He was an assistant coach at Manchester Central before being named Memorial's head coach in 2005. After spending three seasons at Memorial, he joined Jason Robie's staff at Nashua North and helped the Titans reach the Division I championship game in 2009 and 2010.
