VBS Prep

The kids have been very helpful in preparing for our Parish's Vacation Bible School.
We outlined five bible verses (one for each day) on poster board and then colored them with markers.
We worked at Vacation Bible School as a family last year and had a blast. I was delighted to be asked back and again wanted to to make it a family project.
We started the decorating the week before. The theme is a "Wilderness Adventure Through the Sacraments". Our Director is putting together a hiking mountain man who resembles John The Baptist.
Sam brought in his Halloween prop of a left hand which is attached to the nylon hose stuffed arm.That's Sam's  new tent in the background which ties in well with a "hiking in the wilderness" theme.
There were a couple of wigs to choose from to make our mountain man look rustic which entertained the helpers.
It has been nice having the kids at church many nights this week, helping to set this big production up. My hope is that if they jump into the "middle" of joining church related functions, it will be harder for them to "fall off" the edge of practicing their faith. Besides all that, it's fun to be involved!

On the Potty Train

We have been helping our little guy to be successful in the traditional rite of passage known as "Potty Training". The method used, which is working extremely well, is to remove the paper encumbrance below and leave it off, and cover up with a long tee shirt.
He has been wearing a variation of this outfit for a full week now (except at bedtime) and has almost no accidents. He thinks he is playing "Madden" with Grandpa here but has no idea that his controller isn't hooked up!
Aunt Kristy provided some reinforcement by making a little sticker chart for this fellow, who will be 3 in four months.
His Mom cleared her schedule and they stayed at home for the first few days of training with frequent reminders. He can now travel a bit and stay dry. On his own, he takes himself to the bathroom, preferring not to be nagged about it. Congratulations, G-man.

Coffee and Books

I like to say that " Books are my one addiction" or that "Buying books is my only vice". This of course, is not true. I  also am crazy about drinking coffee!!!! Unfortunately, the living room was starting to look like a used book store. We were able to find a solution in this interesting and unique coffee table.
My mother says " If you are going to have readers, then you are going to have books." I value the reading of good books.
 I am not bothered too much by visual clutter, but many people are. I wanted to be able to manage the books without tucking them into a bookshelf every time we put them down.

The reason I love this table is because the glass surface can be clear and clean and ready for a cup of coffee, while the shelf  4 or 5 inches below it can hold the books that we are currently reading. When the kids or I sit down, it is easy to SEE and grab our book. After all, "Out of sight, out of mind". That's what we don't want!
The drawers could hold games or a basket of toys ( maybe the toys that are crowding the fireplace hearth!)
We purchased this coffee table for the other side of our living room but it seemed too bulky there. Moving it to the this side worked much better especially after bringing up these almost matching end tables from the basement. The cherry finish appeals to me against the green couches.
It has been wonderful to be able to relax and place a cup of coffee on a smooth surface while still being able to reach for a favorite book.

Peach Cobbler

 I brought my peaches with us on our visit to see our extended family, but there were quite a few that didn't get eaten. That surprised me because they were soooo juicy and good!
Because they were "overripe" when I bought them, it was time to make a cobbler.
I have a recipe for "Lazy Man's Cobbler" and we used that. It is made up of Ones.
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 teas. baking soda
1 stick of margarine ( or butter)
1 cup of milk
1 can of fruit
                                 Melt the butter in the bottom of a 13x9 pan.
                                 Mix the dry ingredients all together in a bowl
                                 Then add the milk, stir, and pour into the pan over top of the melted butter
                                 Do Not Stir again.
                                 Dollop the fruit out on top of the batter
                                 Bake at 350 for 45 min to an hour

I doubled this recipe and added some extra flour.
Here's what it looked like before it was baked. The fruit is sitting on top of the unstirred batter ( all the melted butter is still at the bottom of the pan).
I cooked it on a cookie sheet because these peaches were so juicy that I didn't want a clean-up later. it took every bit of an hour, probably longer. This cobbler is very delicious, if you like that sort of thing, especially with ice cream (or milk) on top! I wish the kids liked this stuff as much as I do!

A Chance to Spend the Night

The boys had enough money in their allowance to buy a tent for a planned visit to see our cousins.
 Since all of our family lives within an hour or so of each other, the adults never make a plan to spend the night, but instead, just drive home.
 This visit would be different. Three families of moms and kids, ( sisters and cousins) would stay overnight so that we could visit the next day, too.
A "Tent City" was erected and the fun began...
A scrumptious meal of spaghetti and meat sauce, salad and garlic bread hit the spot on our first evening!
The visiting Moms brought some food but most of the food for this crowd of 21 relatives was supplied and cooked to perfection by our hostess,
Aunt Cecilia, shown cuddling her youngest, who had just awoken from her nap.
Swimming was the main recreation.

 This pool is close to ten years old. Most people would have "disposed" of it after one season or two but not this family. They have taken great care of it and have been able to swim in it for years.

The teen-agers had a lot of fun hanging out for an extended visit.These kids, like their parents, are busy people. This window of dedicated time to just be together was really special and they were enjoying it.
Natalie was testing to see if a Big Red Wrapper really is painful when stuck to one's forehead. She was the only one who didn't think so and wore it all evening.
Unfortunately, a "bobcat" ( teen-age cousin?????!!!!) spooked the would-be campers and everyone bedded down in the basement. I retired with the nine middle cousins at midnight but the other aunts and teen-aged ladies were up 'till 3 am chatting and hanging out.
Because we were in the country and partly in the woods, I didn't even notice that it was a 100 degrees outside!
Aunt Nancy gave us an in-depth tutorial on the theory of coupon shopping. She has gotten very proficient at it and is saving her family big bucks at the check-out. Sometimes, she even gets  her food or health and beauty products for free and the cashier has to pay her money back at the end of the order!
There is a definite science to this extreme couponing. Helpful web-sites are available that  plan your shopping strategy based on store sales and recently printed  coupons.  I am not sure if I could find the time to get good at this but I do know that everything is getting more expensive and it would be wise to try this new way of shopping.
After a great lunch of hot dogs on the grill, we had s'mores for dessert, which each person just heated up in the microwave.The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this overnight visit with our cousins and aunts (Thanks to all the Uncles and Dads who were at work keeping the ships afloat).It was such a different idea- to have local folks spend the night in order to prolong a visit. I hope we can do it again sometime!!!
Thanks, Country Cousins!!!

Over-ripe Peaches

In preparation for a visit with lots of cousins, we stopped at an orchard on the way home from the noon Mass to buy some fresh fruit to bring as a snack. These gorgeous peaches were offered for half-price because they were very ripe.
We happened to have a large jug of ice cream in the freezer, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa! Peach milkshakes made for a fantastic summer lunch!

Koi Pond

Unlike today, with the temperature at 102 in the shade, last Saturday was another one of those perfect summer weather days.
I had a three hour block of time to spend with Juby while waiting for Tori to give her speech in front of a live class  for her on-line course in communications.
After a lovely visit with  friends who took us on a long walk on the bike path to the playground, we returned to wait for our college student.
We then spent a relaxing half-hour at this very healthy koi pond.
The sights and sounds were so pretty.
This is the pump house. This cute little house was built to cover a modern day pump.
Likewise, the water line is disguised inside this hollow log.
A blue dragonfly, (which is a popular decoration on girls' clothing this summer), hovered over the pond and alighted on a leaf.
 The lilies were in bloom. The pads must be "lily leaves".
The bumble bee to the left of center in this photo was as attracted to the heavenly scent of this flowering bush  as I was. The fragrance reminded me of a hedge bush called "Bridal Wreath" which it may be.

Observing this pond was an extremely pleasant way to pass some unhurried time...
while we waited for Tori,
who got an "A" on her speech!

The Lincoln Assassination

A lot of time has passed since Lincoln's assassination happened, coming up to 143 years; almost 100 years before John F Kennedy suffered the same fate. Time may be a healer, but it does not answer questions.

Abraham Lincoln is the most famous and revered US president in history. He is revered for being "the president who saved America", probably correctly. He was born in 1809 into a farming family and his mother Nancy Hanks was a psychic medium. She is also the great-great-great grandmother of the actor Tom Hanks who’s famous for being in films like Forrest Gump and Castaway (I wonder if her psychic abilities have passed on to her thespian descendant! If so, he’s keeping quiet about it!). She died when Abraham was just 9 years old and his father remarried. Lincoln got into politics at a young age and was elected to the Illinois Assembly. He stood for the Republicans in 1860 and was elected the 16th US president in November. Like Winston Churchill in the century after, he won his greatest acclaim for being a wartime leader. He crushed the rebel south and disbanded the Confederate States of America. If he hadn’t then the USA would have probably fallen apart forever, making the future world a very different place. This polarized people’s feelings towards President Lincoln; you either loved him or you hated him. But Lincoln needed one more thing to achieve historical and political immortality:

There are no known photographs of the attack. That's not surprising because in those days cameras were rather large and unwieldy devices that you couldn't fit neatly into your pocket like you can today; not the kind of thing you could carry to the theatre with you; but I include an artists impression of the incident above. On a Good Friday, the 14th of April 1865, at just after 10PM, the actor and Confederate supporter John Wilkes Booth calmly walked into the Ford Theatre in Washington DC. He went up some stairs and approached the private box where Lincoln was sitting with his wife and two friends. He waited until Act 3 Scene 2 of the play, Our American Cousin by Tom Taylor, when a funny line made the audience laugh, which it is thought he hoped would smother the sound of the gunshot (although his subsequent behavior calls that into question); then he entered the box and shot the president in the back of the head with a small pistol. One of the friends, Major Henry Rathbone, tackled Booth and Booth stabbed him in the arm with a dagger and jumped out of the box into the auditorium. In doing so he broke his leg, but still stood up to shout out the Latin motto of Virginia: Sic Semper Tyrannis, "This is what always happens to tyrants" (Some eyewitnesses claim he shouted other things. Reported are phrases such as Australe Revince "the South is avenged" or, most intriguingly of all, Ewige Blumenkraft which is German for "eternal flower-power", one of the mottoes of the Bavarian Illuminati.). Then he fled from the theatre and the audience and staff were too stunned to stop him. Actually the Lincoln assassination is just as dodgy as the Kennedy assassination. Use Prouty’s Law: John Wilkes Booth arrived at the Ford Theatre and got in through the stage door. Not a problem you might think seeing as he was a famous actor and a familiar face around the theatre, known to all the staff; but then also so were known his staunch political views, surely making him a "prime security risk". What's more: strangely none of the presidential bodyguards were stationed on the small entrances so beloved of assassins, like that stage door. Booth also managed to go to the staircase behind the auditorium and get to the private box unhindered and found it unguarded and unlocked. This was just after the Civil War, a president whom half the country hated and whom every former Confederate citizen wanted dead. The security response to the incident was also suspicious. Although Booth was arrested and shot dead a few days later, he did manage to easily escape from Washington DC because only one of the roads leading out of the city didn't have a roadblock; coincidentally it was the very road Booth used. The way Booth was killed during his capture is reminiscent of how Lee Harvey Oswald was similarly killed, in the following century, by Jack Ruby just after his arrest. A dead man cannot talk! A dead man cannot reveal any underlying conspiracies! Kennedy was killed instantly by a high-powered snipers' rifle which is very apparent on the gruesome Zapruder film. Lincoln was shot from point-blank range in the head, but Booth used a low-calibre pistol which caused less injury, even from so close. If the president had been rushed to hospital it's possible that his life could have been saved, although he would probably have been seriously brain-damaged. Strangely enough, Lincoln was not taken to hospital. He was taken to a nearby house and was declared dead the following morning. There's no record of anyone even sending for a doctor!

Why was he killed? Well on the surface it looks obvious: He was taken out by Booth, a staunch Confederate sympathizer, in revenge for the Civil War. But then why did Booth have such an easy time of it? As NORAD was confused and ineffectual on 9/11, a man managed to get from the open street to the theatre's private box without so much as passing a security guard. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Lincoln was introducing a state money policy, breaking the hold of the banking system by printing “Greenback” dollars… just like Kennedy tried to do almost 100 years later.

Today Lincoln's memory is celebrated in a way no other US president's ever has or probably ever will: The Lincoln Memorial , a huge Neoclassical mausoleum in the very heart of Washington DC. I think a valuable area of research is to study the Lincoln Memorial to find any tell-tale signs that all is not what it seems. The Illuminati have a fixation with owning up to their crimes in code! They place their secret signatures on everything they do, like putting an "eternal flame" on Kennedy's grave and a black Pentagram on the Pont de l'Alma tunnel where Diana died. Both are very powerful occult symbols. I wonder, did they put a similar "We did it and we're telling you, but you're too ignorant to see it! Ha ha ha!" confession on Lincoln's mausoleum? I'll have to look into it. Lincoln's is also one of the four faces carved onto Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Mount Rushmore was originally a sacred Indian site and may well have been chosen to be defaced into the famous megasculpture for that very reason: An exercise in power, the triumph and dominance of the White Man over the Indian.

UFO Handbook for Firemen

I'd like to read the book, even though I'm not a fireman. Jim Mann is right; you can't write UFO's off as crackpot or fringe when official organizations like fire brigades are taking it seriously. The statement at the end sounds like a "fallback" to me. The brief reading given shows that it is the actual threat that the book deals with, not just the perceived one, otherwise it would just contain tips on how to drive a fire engine past over-zealous skywatchers etc.

(BTW: Sorry there's been no new material on HPANWO for a few days. I've been shivering in my sickbed. I'm a bit better now. I've got plenty more posts lined up!)

David Shayler- The Messiah?

David Shayler is a man I've come to admire a lot over the years. He started out as an MI5 officer who became a rogue whistle-blower with a conscience stronger than his misplaced loyalty to the Blair regime. He revealed that the UK govt was funding and training anti-government terrorists in Lybia, in the same way the USA did in South America a generation earlier. For this he was exiled and imprisoned. After that he joined the 9/11 Truth Movement for which I've worked too. Then came the bombshell: last year at the Glastonbury Symposium, he announced that he was the Messiah. For this a lot of his fans deserted and denounced him. This is a shame because the saying of strange things is often the first sign of a spiritual awakening. It echoes the experience of David Icke in the early 90's. This film is actually encouraging because Shayler looks very well in it and that's good to see. His theology may be rather dodgy, but I respect him for speaking out. People say he's crazy? They say he's lost his credibility? Well I think that, in this world, it's a far bigger insult to be called "sane" "normal" or a "good citizen". Shine on, David!

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman

I've bought the book Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. I've only read the first bit and I'm not going to say anything more until I've finished it, but I bought it because of the magnificent movie I saw based on it: The Golden Compass. Here's my review of that movie:

The Night of Broken Glass 2008

Your kids will ask you: "What did the world used to be like?" Will you remember? Or has Oceania always been at war with Eastasia?

For their sakes, don't let it happen!

New GCHQ Building

This is the new headquarters of GCHQ, part of the UK's secret government intelligence services. The domain of GCHQ is "Elint"- electronic intelligence. MI5 and MI6 deal with "humint"- human intelligence, spies, assassins etc. GCHQ deals with intercepting and decoding communication; everything from diverting letters to decrypting military computers to reading your emails. It is part of a huge international network that includes the US National Security Agency at Fort Meade, Maryland. When a phone rings anywhere in the world, GCHQ can listen in on it!

The architecture of their new headquarters in Cheltenham is a bit sinister. It is a barred circle, a bit like a Ferris wheel. This is especially interesting when you consider Matt Delooze's last article which analyses the symbolism of this fairground attraction: . Some galaxies are also shaped this way. We're seeing more and more buildings in this shape I've found; they're called "rotundas". The plans for new Oxford Science Park features a rotunda: Ben Fairhall of the Battling the Behemoth site (see links) has written several articles on the mystery of Madeline McCann. He's noticed that she has a birthmark or a scar on her iris that makes her eye into a barred circle too.

The new GCHQ building is currently under construction by this company, Carillion PLC, a building and civil engineering firm turned health service, airport, military and local government provider: This company was established specially to bid for the government's Private Finance Initiative contracts. They built the new extension of the hospital where I serve. I'm seconded to this company and the head porter is a Carillion employee.

New Child Databse

As usual this is being peddled to the public as something more convenient and secure than the conventional system. I'm glad No2ID are on to this.

Valentine's Day

It’s coming to that time of year again which is special to anyone in love. Gifts and cards will exchange hands and restaurants will fill up with couples sitting opposite gazing into each other’s eyes. Or, as Joel Barrish, Jim Carrey’s character in the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind said: “Valentine’s Day is a holiday invented by greeting cards manufacturers to make people feel like crap!” Many share Joel’s cynicism. The author of a magazine article I once read saw it as just another corporate profiteering coup, like the Christmas industry, and thought that it should be renamed “Hallmark Day” or “Clintons Day” and seethed over the sight of couples expressing hypocritical sentiments to each other which they then conveniently forget for the rest of the year. I think that’s a big assumption to make about the feelings of total strangers and an unfair judgment in most cases. In my experience, couples with an unhappy relationship tend to ignore Valentine’s Day altogether. However I’ve personally always seen Valentine’s Day more as a festival for singletons like me rather than established lovers. It’s an opportunity to send an anonymous gift to your secret crush.

The origins of the Valentine’s Day tradition are quite obscure. It falls on February the 14th, the day before the Roman feast of Lupercalia. In pagan Rome this was a time for the celebration of fertility, romance and sexuality. It included the prevailing tradition of sending a gift to someone you secretly favour. The Christian world probably adopted the practice and changed it to fit its regime, as it did many pagan rites, and put it on St Valentine’s Day because that was the closest day to Lupercalia. However it wasn't mentioned in its modern sense until the medieval English writer Geoffrey Chaucer did. The character known as St Valentine is not connected in any other way to this rite. Valentine himself is a very mysterious individual; or individuals plural as some claim he represents several people. He lived in the fourth century and was born in Britain, probably in the area of modern Newcastle. He became a Christian and was punished by the pagan authorities. He was buried in Via Flamminia north of Rome. The exact whereabouts of his grave is not known, but two churches in Ireland and the Czech Republic possess bones supposedly from Valentine’s body as holy relics.

I will not be sending any Valentine cards this year. I’m single and not infatuated with anyone; and I’ve learned to enjoy that. I like being my own man in charge of my own emotions. I know a few attractive ladies, but nobody “special” if you know what I mean. There used to be though. From 2000, for four years, I sent a card every year to a girl at work called Vicky. She immediately guessed that I had sent the first one which disturbed me because I’d always kept my feelings for her secret. I must be more transparent than I thought I was! Unfortunately Vicky didn’t feel the same way about me, but never mind. She was very understanding towards me and didn't spit in my face. She left a couple of years ago. I was upset at first, but in the long run it was for the best and I can look back to that time without regrets. This experience has helped me see how much I’ve changed in the last few years; even in just the last two. I’m no longer the kind of person who gets hung up on people. As I said above, I thought the magazine article writer was far too cynical, but a part of me knows where she's coming from. I know many people who get involved with other people because they're motivated by conformist pressure or material gain. This is summed up by the Pet Shop Boys song Rent:

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it
And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, its easy
You buy whatever I need
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are
We never ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent

Im your puppet
I love it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When youre lying next to me
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, oh, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent

Other people become obessed with people who treat them badly; mostly women but some men too. This infuriates me. It's as if these people are addicted to abuse! I'm definitely better off being independant! I’m a single father and I live quite a solitary life, but rarely feel lonely. I have few friends, but nevertheless feel like I’m in lots of good company. I don’t know why that is, but I’m not sure I want to; I’d rather just enjoy it!

New Apollohoax Book

A new book has recently been published on the Apollohoax; an area of research that has been pretty much left stagnant for a decade or so since the work of Bart Sibrel, Bennett and Percy and a few others. I'd started to see the subject as fairly done to death, but now Gerhard Wisniewski has dusted it off. Whether he has anything new to reveal on the subject remains to be seen! You can order it here:

Apart from the late moonhoax Godfather Bill Kaysing, nobody has produced a continuous narrative of the alternative history of the moon landings, but the basis of the theory is that the moon landing pictures were filmed at a secret studio on Earth and Neil Armstrong and the others never went there. I've written my own take on the matter here:

(BTW, the Bill Kaysing tribute site which I'd posted on the links column has been taken down, so I've relinked it to Bennett and Percy's Aulis site.)

The Protocols of Zion

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a document that was first published about 100 years ago by a Russian secret agent called Sergei Nilus. It is basically a do-it-yourself guide to taking over the world, creating the New World Order, giving instructions on how a tiny elite can dominate a planet of billions. The Elite are named as the global Jewish elders and they describe the masses as Goyim, the Hebrew for "cattle" and a racist term for a Gentile. It is one of the most inflammatory and controversial documents ever written and simply to mention its name will no doubt court charges from the leftist radicals of being "Antee-Suh-mittick!"

It is said to have been quickly debunked as a fake. Much of it was copied from the novel Biarritz by the anti-Semitic Prussian postman Herman Goedsche, in which the words of the Jews sound like the ones spoken in one scene by the shadowy, cowled figures who meet in a graveyard (This scene was parodied by Robert Shea and RAW in my favorite book The Illuminatus! Trilogy). Parts of it also echo other works of fiction: Dialogue in Hell by Maurice Joly and the Simonini Letter. But I was wondering whether the story runs even deeper than that. What's odd about the Protocols is that they sound just like an old-fashioned edition of far more recent documents on world domination that are also alleged to come from the secret vaults of the Illuminati. Silent Weapons for a Quiet War is the most famous; and also Report From Iron Mountain. Here's another one: The Protocols, in the form we know it, may be fake, but could it have been based on a real unpublished document? Or to be precise, could the original authors who created the works which Nilus plagiarized have had access to an original document from which they transcribed their forgery? This original unknown document will have been written by the real Illuminati. Now before gangs of chanting, yelling students surround my house waving placards and throwing stones at my windows, let me just say that if you care to read on I will provide evidence that indicates that the Protocols are both real and not Jewish. I do not think the Loomies are all Jews. Their membership consists of a number of elite families that are made up of all races, colours and creeds.

One thing that's interesting about the Protocols is that for a Jewish document it contains no reference to Jews or Judaism except for the word "Jew". There is no mention of Jewish rites, traditions, holy places or holidays etc. Take away the word "Jew" and replace it with something else and what will it sound like? Well, I decided to do an experiment: I changed the words “Jews” and “Zion” into “The Olympians” (The Illuminati probably don’t call themselves "the Illuminati"; “Olympians” is one of the words it’s been suggested is their real name). I then changed the words “Goyim” into “Sheeple” (This is just a guess, the Illuminati probably have some other derogatory word for we, the profane masses). The results were amazing! With just a bit of find-and-replace editing on Microsoft Word, the document had totally lost its Jewish flavour. This raises the question of whether the original Illuminati document ever had such a flavour; or did Goedsche, Joly and Nilus etc simply do the opposite of what I had done? Maybe they took the real document they had accessed and turned "Olympians" into "Jews" and "Sheeple" into "Goyim" to falsely-vindicate their own bigotry.

Here are some quotes from my revised version of the Protocols:

1. ....Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light upon surrounding facts.
2. What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two points of view, that of ourselves and that of the SHEEPLE............

..................The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the SHEEPLE, but we must in no wise be guided by them: Might is Right.......

................ The SHEEPLE are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by the SHEEPLE. In the number of these last I count also the so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers of the others in corruption and luxury..............

....................The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of which we do not admit the SHEEPLE, would demonstrate to all men that the positions and work must be kept within a certain circle, that they may not become a source of human suffering, arising from an education which does not correspond with the work which individuals are called upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge, the peoples will voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed them in the State. In the present state of knowledge and the direction we have given to its development of the people, blindly believing things in print - cherishes - thanks to promptings intended to mislead and to its own ignorance - a blind hatred towards all conditions which it considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of class and condition.

Immigration and Saving Petrol

Yesterday I received the following email from a person on a list of which I'm a member:

So simple a cave man should have thought of it!!

The British Solution to Save Petrol

Brown wants us to cut the amount of petrol we use......

The best way to stop using so much petrol is to deport 3 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 3 million less people using our petrol. The price of petrol would come down.....

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the Channel....

When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Channel, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq ....
Tell him if he wants to come to Britain then he must serve a tour in the military....
Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.....

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.....
He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident..... .

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.. .....

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.....
Problem solved..... If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to your friends. .........I just did.........

Here is my reply:

To all members on this list who received this email, I think a cave man probably did think of it! Hope he discovers fire and the wheel and gets his head out of the clouds soon!

Do you want to hear my solution to save petrol? If so, read on:

In the first place there are NOT 3 million illegal immigrants in this country? "How do you know that, Ben?" I know that because people who travel from one part of their home planet to another are not "immigrants" because in reality nation states and borders are a totally artificial creation designed by the Powers-that-be to divide and rule us and are a complete delusion, so can you say it's illegal to move between them? It's like saying it's illegal to steal a handful of fresh air from a shop!

There are too many people moving to this island we live on that is known as "Britain" at the moment so it is becoming overcrowded and the native culture is being undermined, but can you blame people for moving here? Life in this country is so much better than life in their own lands. If we were in their shoes we'd do exactly the same! Deny it and be a hypocrite! The way to solve this problem is to make life better in their own countries so that they won't want to leave. And don't tell me "Oh, that's an ideal world, Ben. I wish we lived in a world like that but we don't." The world is what we make it. If the world is not ideal it's because of what we've done, or failed to do.

Doing a tour in the military is NOT serving your country, it's serving the oil companies. It does NOT make you a hero. It certainly doesn't make you a good citizen. I think the bravest soldiers are the ones who mutiny. But if you read on you'll find I've thought of a solution to that too:

The best part of this solution is to campaign to make the government declassify all secret Free Energy technology. For over 100 years they've suppressed a huge secret: That is possible to make energy out of nothing. Energy that is unlimited and doesn't cost a penny. The Powers-that-be have killed or jailed the inventers of machines that generate this energy and burned their papers. "Why did they do that, Ben?" To preserve their power over us! A by product of our dependence on oil is that half the world lives in poverty, and it is from that half of the world that these "immigrants" are coming to Britain. End that poverty and I'm sure they'd be queuing up to catch a plane home! You think they'd want to stay here for the lovely weather!? It also means we won't need any petrol any more and we can build cars that we can drive forever without paying a bean, so no more oil wars too! Problem solved!

If you think that's a good solution to this problem then forward it to your friends.

I'm bound to get a lot of rude replies to this email, but so what! Who was it who said: "A friend to all is a friend to none."?

Tavistock Founder Dies

Isobel Menzies-Lyth has died at the age of 90. She was one of the founders of the Tavistock Institute. She worked in the 1950's with the newly-formed NHS and did a lot of good work; it's mostly due to her that many of the modern children's hospitals were built and she supported the current policy of letting the parents stay at the hospital with their children. She knew the famous Freudian psychoanalyst Melanie Klein.

I'm mentioning this because I knew her; she was one of my mum's best friends, in fact she was like a mother to her. Being her age she had lots of very interesting information; I remember Isobel telling me that she remembers Rudolf Hess landing in Scotland! At the risk of being accused of speaking ill of the dead, I found her quite difficult sometimes due to our very different personalities. She got very angry with me once when I told her that I believed Diana's car crash was murder. She said: "You're views are totally divorced from reality!" At times she was completely unapproachable. She was a Freudian fundamentalist and Skeptic. I never got the chance to discuss my admiration for Wilhelm Reich with her, but I can guess what she would have said! Despite everything though, I respected her.

The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations has become well-known in recent years as an alleged centre for mass mind-control. It was formed out of the Psychological Warfare division of the forces in WWII and has been involved in public and private organizations in a manner that is not altogether clear. Here is their website: I doubt if Isobel was an "insider" to any conspiracy going on there; she was too simple and down-to-Earth. If she was I think I'd be able to sense it because I'm quite good at picking up these things. She was a kind lady who was a tower of strength for my mum.

Rest in Peace, Isobel.

JRHPC Update

I've received a reply to my email to the Department of Health:

Dear Mr Emlyn-Jones,

Thank you for your email of 24 January to the Department of Health about Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs).

The Department of Health’s PFI provides a way of funding major capital investments, without immediate recourse to the public purse. Private consortia, usually involving large construction firms, are contracted to design, build, and in some cases manage new projects. Contracts typically last for 30 years, during which time the building is leased by a public authority.

The PFI section of the Department’s site gives guidance to contractors and Departmental staff on contracts, current news and updates, as well as facts, figures and further information. It can be accessed at the following link:

I hope this information has been of help.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas McLaughlinDepartment of Health

I just wrote saying that I was doing some personal research; I never mentioned that I was planning to establish a company to bid for a PFI contract. Something told me that that wouldn't be a very good idea; I'm not sure why, but got a strong feeling that we can't completely trust these people yet. This could come from my experience in 1991 when we were sold off to Mediclean. The contract award was blatently rigged!

Well I guess we've got some serious reading to do on the link that Mr McLaughlin has provided. There may be other sources of information. Can anyone think of anyone at the JR who would have the knowlege we need and be able to trust? I can think of plenty of people with one of those qualities, but not many with both!

Please use the thread on the HPANWO Forum for your comments.

Jo and Josephine - Work Benefits Claim

  • Media
  • Josephine and Joseph came to the Human Rights Clinic at the Human Rights Advocacy Center in 2009 as a last roll of the dice. Find out how HRAC helped the brother and sister in their legal battle.

    In 1986, Josephine Armah and Joseph Amarboye heard on the radio that they had lost their jobs at the Central Revenue Service (now Internal Revenue Service). No warning at all, no reason given and their jobs were gone. Eventually, they found out they had been accused of accepting bribes, an allegation that was so ridiculous it would be laughable, were the repercussions not so devastating.

    To make matters worse, Joseph and Josephine did not receive the service benefits they were entitled to under the law. Since then, they have been fighting for these benefits, and coming up against endless brick walls in their fight for justice.

    Despite a series of wins in the courts, Jo and Josephine never actually saw the money that was awarded to them. Because they were retired, they couldn't afford to appeal, and came to HRAC for free advice on how to receive their benefits.

    Josephine describes HRAC's efforts to recover their money as "QUOTE." After writing "letter after letter after letter" for three years, HRAC managed to recover the redundancy entitlements for our clients.

    See the attached video:

HEB Publishes White Paper 3

HEB announces the publication of its third white paper, Handheld E-Book Readers and Scholarship: Report and Reader Survey, written by Nina Gielen, HEB Editor for Digital Content and Production. This report describes a conversion experiment and subsequent reader survey conducted by HEB in late 2009 and early 2010 to assess the viability of using scholarly monographs with handheld e-readers.

Scholarly content generally involves extensive networking and cross-referencing between individual works through various channels, including bibliographical citation and subsequent analysis and discussion. Through past experience with its online collection, HEB had already determined that a web-based platform lends itself well to presenting this type of material, but was interested in exploring which key elements would need to be replicated in the handheld edition in order to maintain the same level of functionality, as well as what specific factors from either print or digital publishing would have to be taken into account. As sample content, HEB selected six titles from its own online collection, three in a page-image format with existing OCR-derived text and three encoded as XML files, and had these converted by an outside vendor with minimal editorial intervention into both MOBI (prc) and ePub files.

The white paper reports on two phases of the study: an in-house evaluation of various e-book readers by HEB staff, and a reader survey. The white paper also includes an overview of the process of converting titles for handheld e-readers, including conversion costs.

HEB’s initial findings indicate that titles formatted for then-existing handheld devices are not yet adequate for scholarly use in terms of replicating either the benefits of online collections — cross-searchability, archiving, multifarious interactive components — nor certain aspects of print editions that users reported missing, such as being able to mark up and rapidly skim text. A turnaround is underway once a common and more robust format optimized for handheld readers is determined and devices themselves continue to evolve, adding improved display options and better and more intuitive web-access, searching and other interactive use of content.

For reports on the white paper, see Digital Koans (September 6, 2010) and  The Chronicle of Higher Education

The white paper is available free online in either HTML or searchable, downloadable PDF and in print for a modest fee.

eGenix PyRun 2.0.1 Released
eGenix PyRun 2.0.1 Released
Friday, 29 August 2014

A new release of PyRun, the open source, one-file, no installation version of Python. has just been released by eGenix.

PyRun makes the distribution of a Python interpreter to run scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a single file.

Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, its executable needs 13MB for Python 3 and 11MB for Python 2 and can be compressed to just 3-4MB using the executable packer upx, if needed. This makes it useful for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to several target machines, client installations or customers.

The advantages using PyRun, its features and how to use it are outlined in this EuroPython 2012 talk by  Marc-André Lemburg, CEO of

The latest release is a patch level release of PyRun 2.0 which added Python 3.4 support. The main changes from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 is that it has been upgraded to work with Python 2.7.8 by default and a bug in the license printer has been fixed to show the correct license URL.

Thanks to a shell script, install-pyrun, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:

./install-pyrun targetdir

This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the right pyrun version into targetdir. This script has been  updated to default to eGenix PyRun 2.0.1 and its feature set for this release.

Blink - More Answers
Blink - More Answers
Written by Mike James
Friday, 05 April 2013

The decision by Google to change from WebKit to a new rendering engine has stirred up more interest and concern than might have been predicted. Now the Google Chrome Developer team has issued a video answering some of the outstanding questions.

At first Blink isn't going to make much difference because it takes time for a fork in a project to develop. At the moment the main change seems to be the removal of code from Blink that wasn't being used in Chrome. The WebKit developers also seem slightly relieved to have Google check out its code because they are also reporting large savings by throwing out the code that they had to put up with to keep Chrome happy. Both sides of the split are promising efficiency and speed increases in the very near future, making it sound as if each was holding the other back from doing the best job that they could.

The video answers some of the questions but notice that all that is happening here is that we can gauge some measure of intent. What actually happens remains to be seen.

The most important things to know are that Blink will replace WebKit in Chrome 28, which is due in about 10 weeks. Again this doesn't mean much more than changing the name of the rendering engine - how much the code changes remains to be seen. It is also clear that Blink is going to be used in all versions of Chrome on all platforms, but there isn''t any information about what will happen to Chrome on iOS. However, in a comment to the video Googler David Michael adds:

"One minor correction: Darin said that Chrome will use Blink on all platforms. Chrome on iOS will still use a UIWebView (which is based on Apple's WebKit) rather than Blink."

So it looks as if there will be one member of the Chrome family that uses WebKit.

As to promised changes - moving the DOM into the JavaScript engine seems to make good sense, but it could be the biggest source of incompatibilities in the future.

The Chrome Developers blog also provides a list of questions with time code links to the video that you can use to zoom in on anything you are particularly interested in:

1:12 What will be the relationship between the WebKit and Blink codebases going forward?

2:42 When will Blink ship on the Chrome channels Canary/Beta/Stable?

3:25 How does the plan for transitioning the WebKit integrated in Android to Blink look like?

4:59 Can you elaborate on the idea of moving the DOM into JavaScript?

6:40 Can you elaborate on the idea of "removing obscure parts of the DOM and make backwards incompatible changes that benefit performance or remove complexity"?

8:35 How will Blink responsibly deprecate prefixed CSS properties?

9:30 What will prevent the same collaborative development difficulties that have hampered Webkit emerging in Blink, as it gains more contributors and is ported to more platforms?

12:35 Will changes to Blink be contributed back to the WebKit project?

13:34 Google said problems living with the WebKit2 multi-process model was a prime reason to create Blink, but Apple engineers say they asked to integrate Chromium's multi-process into WebKit prior to creating WebKit2, and were refused. What gives?

16:46 Is the plan to shift Android's <webview> implementation over to Blink as well?

17:26 Will blink be able to support multiple scripting languages? E.g. Dart.

19:34 How will affect other browsers that have adopted WebKit?

20:44 Does this means Google stops contributions to WebKit?

21:31 What Open Source license will Blink have? Will it continue to support the H.264 video codec?
22:11 Any user-agent string changes?

23:38 When we'll be able to test first versions of Blink in Chromium?

24:15 How can developers follow Blink's development?

25:40 What is about?

26:40 How will this impact Dart language's progress?

27:13 Will this be a direct competitor against Mozilla's new engine?

29:03 When will all existing vendor prefixes in Blink be phased out?

30:20 Will you support -blink-text-decoration: blink? ;)

Some Of DJ Fred’s Favorite Albums Of The 70s [SURVEY]

Capitol Records image

It’s the 40th anniversary of the Steve Miller Band’s landmark album “The Joker” and the band has recently been playing every song from the album live in concert!

Now, Miller has released “The Joker Live” and it’s on iTunes and Amazon for you to download!  The Steve Miller Band will be touring this year with Journey!

The Joker was released in 1974 and my favorite album by Journey, “Evolution” was released in 1979.

This got me thinkin’ of some of my favorite albums of the 1970s!  Below are some of mine! Of course there were great albums by Bob Seger, Queen, The Cars, Van Halen, The Allmans and  The Doobies…like I said, the following are just a few!

What’s yours?  Let me know in the COMMENTS section below or on the I-95 FACEBOOK PAGE, and I may please a few songs for you today during “A Whole Lotta Lunch!”

On The Border

The Eagles

Of course I had heard all of the Eagles pop songs on the radio but I didn’t think that they were cool until I saw them perform “Already Gone” at the California Jam. In 1974, On The Border was the third album released by America’s band.  It also included “Best Of My Love”, the song that was playing in the background when I proposed to my wife.  Well now ain’t that sweet?!

Second Helping

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Another album released in 1974, which must have been the year that I started to get into album rock and roll, and of course it was all downhill from there.  We all remember the first time that we heard “Sweet Home Alabama”, those distinctive cords, and pretty much the beginning of southern rock for us all!

House Of The Holy

Led Zeppelin

The fifth album by the world’s most mysterious and melodic heavy metal band!  I thought that Jimmy Page was god  as I pounded away on that old beat up acoustic guitar to every song on the album.  I didn’t think it could get any better.  Couple up listening to that music while living in the woods on the coast of Maine….that was some pretty heavy s***.

Fly Like An Eagle

Steve Miller Band

“The Joker” may have made a star out of Steve Miller and his Band, but playing “Fly Like An Eagle” on the eight track player in my Dodge Super Bee is what got me the girls.  God bless him.  That spacey sound and those songs bring back a lot of memories.  Somebody bring me a tissue.

How could you not love Steve Perry’s voice the very first time that you heard the bluesy sound of “Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’?”  It was the beginning of all of Journey’s success and made new found fans all go out and buy their first album. Please once again, the girls loved it too!

Best of I-95

Is Nothing Sacred?

by Benjo

By now, you've all seen the picture of what, given Michael Phelps's lung capacity, may well have been the biggest bong rip in history.

As an outspoken critic of the war on morality, I was shocked by Phelps's conduct. He'd always struck me as a genuine guy, so it was saddening to learn that he is in fact a fraud. That he won his medals and broke his records not because he was more skilled or more prepared than his competitors, but because he was more stoned. The performance aside, though, I remember when being a role model meant something. I mean, what's next--we find out that Lance Armstrong won all those Tours de France because he was on cigarettes? It begs the question: Is nothing sacred? Is nothing true?

It is my understanding that Phelps was supposed to visit the White House soon. This provides our new president, himself a role model to so many, with an opportunity to send a powerful message to our nation's youth: if you do something so immoral, so stupid, and so destructive as smoking pot, then you will truly never succeed; instead, you will end up a washed up 23-year-old with little chance of ever winning a 15th Olympic gold medal.

We don't need junkies in the White House. Join me in calling for President Obama to disinvite Michael Phelps.

Story of Pushing Taisia into the World

(It's a bit detailed because I want to remember everything.)

October 8, 2006 around 5a or earlier, I got up to make another bathroom run. On the way I felt a very small, wet gush. What the..? I threw on the lights and "Andrei! I think my water just broke!" Now fully awake, excited and a little confused, we debated on whether it was my bag of waters trickling down my leg or something else (moms, ladies, most of you know what I'm referring to here). In the end we decided that it was a false alarm as I was not sure that I had lost my mucus plug and had no bloody show later, plus I was still 3 weeks from my due date. We had heard stories about couples so excited to have their baby that they misinterpreted the signs, got themselves worked up, and called the doctor/midwife way too early. We didn't want to provide another silly story for them to tell. We tried to go back to sleep, but strong waves of adrenaline rushed over me and I had light, regular contractions for an hour. That was a long hour. Eventually everything died down and I slept another hour or two.

It was a Sunday, also our wedding anniversary, so after stocking up on feminine products (to contain a drastic increase in secretions) we headed to church. I was pretty sure I'd have the baby in the next 24-36 hours.

At 1:30p I felt another little "pop" and subsequent trickling, and this time I was more confident (but still not totally sure) that my water had broken. I think around 2p contractions started coming every 7 minutes, so I called Angela, my sister-in-law/doula, to discuss it. From her I was searching for confirmation of my suspicions and "permission" to call my midwife Tracy. When I did call her, I remember talking a little louder and faster than usual and being slightly out of breath from excitement. Both ladies told me to drink, eat and take it easy. They agreed I could go for a walk.

Beaming and looking forward to each contraction, we went for a long walk during which Andrei faithfully timed the contractions. I was a little disappointed that they were so light and that the longer we walked, the less frequent they became. Not true labor, I decided. Shoot.

By the time we arrived back at the house, they had all but disappeared. Tracy called around 6:30p to check in. When I told her that they had stopped, it didn't seem to faze her and she again told me to drink, eat and try to relax, even sleep if I could. She said she'd keep checking in and that she expected me to give birth by the next morning. I was encouraged. If I remember correctly I spent the next couple of hours dinking around and preparing a bag to take to the birth center with fresh clothes, food, icons to focus on during labor, a compilation cd I made for laboring, and other little things I thought I might want.

After dinner we decided to watch a movie to get my mind off things and to begin winding down so I could get a little sleep. We didn't have many choices, but Pride and Prejudice (the new one) seemed like a good, low-key choice. So I took a seat on my trusty exercise ball, had some tea and began watching with Andrei at my side--such a trooper. My contractions were still far apart, but I was generally uncomfortable and the movie became so dang annoying: I couldn't hear the dialogue for one thing, and the music was shrill, and I just was not into it AT ALL. At that point I'm sure that any movie would've been hard to watch. Around 9p Angela called and suggested that I take a bath and then go to bed. She said to call her once the contractions came every 4-5 minutes.

I finally did lay down, and very soon after that the contractions became regular and their strength slowly increased. I stayed in bed on my left side and breathed through them, closing my eyes and trying to fully relax between them. After an hour or so of pretty light contractions, I asked him to provide counter-pressure on my lower back as they got harder--and so began his marathon. It really seemed to help, mostly as a distraction...similar to how I push on bug bites with my finger nail so that the pain overpowers the itching, helping me not to scratch at them.

Early labor is a sweet memory for me. It was the beginning of the end of being just the two of us, and I felt such a strong bond with Andrei as we started on this new path together. When I look back and see how dependent I was on him throughout the labor process, I realize that I was clinging to him not just for support through the pain but for assurance that we are in it together physically, mentally, spiritually.

By 12:20a the contractions were coming every 3-4 minutes and lasting about 90 seconds. It was getting "pretty serious" (I'm hearing Kip's voice as I type that). Still, I hesitated to call Angela because I didn't know if we really needed her to come. I didn't know what kind of support I'd need and I didn't want to make a big deal out the whole thing :) I hated to think that I'd pull her out of bed after her particularly long week without adequate reason. Obviously I had no idea what to expect. Andrei finally decided to just call since she did say to let her know when we got to this point. So he called and voiced our hesitation, and she said that she'd come and if we didn't need her she'd just lay on the couch. (Angela, you're so sweet.) Soon she arrived and Andrei sighed with relief. Turns out he was getting a bit nervous and was glad to have a someone else around to ensure that we're all ok. By 1:45a the contractions had been 3 minutes apart and lasting 90 secs for an hour, so we paged Tracy and made plans to meet her at the birth center in 20 minutes.

It was a cold night (was it snowing?) Anyway, I had a little pink nightie on and I almost walked out as is until Angela suggested I put on some pants. Before getting in the car, I had to walk out a contraction. This is when I realized the beauty of home births. No car rides while in labor. Definitely a plus. When we arrived I practically ran up the stairs to the center, trying to beat the next contraction. I barely made it. This is when the fun began.

Tracy checked my progress and I was 5 cm dilated, 100% effaced and baby was at zero station or "engaged". Pretty good, I thought.

Andrei and I labor-danced for a while. I was really hanging on him, letting him hold a lot of my weight as I rocked my hips back and forth. Tracy can vouch for his hard work because at one point she relieved him for a bathroom break. Standing felt good, but I wanted to sit in between contractions to rest and getting up and down was too distracting/painful. So I tried the rocking chair for a while. That wasn't so great. The birth tub was getting warmer by then, so I stripped and got in on my hands and knees. (Now, I wondered how I'd feel about being naked during labor/birth, but at this point I couldn't have cared less about modesty. This was the last I'd have clothes on until Taia was born and I had taken a bath.) I was in the tub for a couple hours: on hands and knees, leaning over the side, sitting with my legs floating out in front of me. To help with the pain Andrei was still providing hard counter-pressure and helping me take slow, deep breaths, either moaning and/or pursing my lips on expiration. I had great support as the labor increased in intensity. Andrei was my rock, and I wanted him next to me every moment. And I was very grateful for Angela. She was a quiet presence and knew just what to whisper in my ear exactly when I needed it. Tracy kept assuring us that all was going well, and she gently and firmly guided me through the process. Everyone was great.
There are a few particular things that stick out in my mind from this time.
-My legs were shaking uncontrollably (which is normal) and it was really bothering me because it made it hard to relax.
-I withdrew into myself and grew a bit melancholy. I didn't put on my cd nor set out my icons and candles. Nothing I brought got used.
-The thought did cross my mind that there was pain medicine for this sort of thing; but I immediately decided that even if I could have it right now, I didn't want it.
-At one point I was having so much trouble with the pain and even more so with emotional/mental endurance, I started praying in Russian: Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy...I couldn't think of any other way that I could get through it.
-I couldn't imagine doing this for a second child.

At 5:10a I had progressed a measly 2 cm for a total of 7. I couldn't believe it. Everyone was telling me that this is good and that I'm coming along. I wanted to believe them.

Soon after, I got out of the tub and lay in bed for a while. According to Angela's notes the contractions were "very painful" at 5:40a and I felt like I couldn't do it at 6:00a. An hour later I was 9cm dilated. I'm getting a little tense just remembering it--so much anticipation and frustration. I remember having my face buried in pillows for a while and when my head finally emerged, it was light outside. I was so disappointed that the night was over and I still hadn't had the baby.

I started feeling "pushy" by 7:45a. I was totally dilated, except for a pesky lip. I got up to labor dance and sit on the ball. Around 8:30a Tracy got me on the bed again to check me, and as I lay down I had indescribable pain. Something about the movement or position...Anyway, it died down once I got settled, but then there was no way I was going to get off that bed. Finally I started pushing at 9am in a semi-sidelying position. By this time I began to think that Taisia was never going to be born. Even so, I decided to still give it my best shot. I pushed with all my might. I was instructed to push like I was having the biggest bowel movement of my life and to not be afraid of the burning when she crowned. But it was totally natural to push "there", and honestly I wasn't afraid of any burning--I was more afraid she wouldn't come out if I didn't push harder. So I pushed and pushed. My cheering section told me that they saw her head coming. I was frustrated every time I had to take a break from pushing because she'd slide back up slightly. I wished I could just keep pushing constantly. Later my voice was hoarse from all the vocal pushing :) At 9:40a Andrei (with Tracy's help) caught her sweet little body as she slid out, and he put her on my tummy. Whew. I wasn't surprised to see her, wasn't crying with joy, nothing like that. For a moment, it just was a fact that it was over and here she is, praise God.

Taisia was a healthy little newborn: crying, moving, pink, and 6 lbs 4 oz. She was warm on my belly and she smelled amazing. The longer I held her, the more I grew attached to her. Our little Krasavitsa (Beauty).

The last thing to do before I could relax in bed with my family was to deliver the placenta. I pushed and Tracy provided mild traction to help it out. The next thing I knew, Tracy was holding the other end of the cord, placenta still inside me. Andrei and I simultaneously thought OH NO and expected that we'd have to go to the hospital (I should've known better, but, hey, I just had a baby). Very calmly she simply clamped the cord so Taisia wouldn't lose any blood through it, I stood up, and she told me to push just like I had been pushing Taisia. So I pushed hard, and the placenta came flying out. Luckily it landed in the bowl they'd placed on the ground to catch it, but Tracy exclaimed "my shoes!" and half the floor (I'm exaggerating) was sprayed with the splash of blood. Turns out I had a velementous placenta; basically the cord was weakly attached to the placenta and so it tore away at the slightest tug. The other thing to note is that I didn't have any tears, unless you count a few "skid marks". Excellent!

Finally I crawled back into bed to rest with our baby on my chest, husband at my side, sister and mom smiling on.

Now I could admire my baby. Her frowning lips were bright red, her body covered in sweet-smelling vernix, and her brow was furrowed just like her papa's can get. She was a beautiful newborn. She didn't have any "unique" features that distracted the eye--everything was proportional and cute. Definitely the cutest newborn I've ever seen :) After all that work, she was exhausted and was determined to sleep. She was not interested in nursing nor in getting measured and checked by our wonderful nurse, Aubre. I was content to have her just rest in my arms.

The next couple of months were magical, and I quickly forgot about the pain of labor and decided that my labor was relatively easy compared to how it could have been.

Holy and Great Friday

"Today there is hung upon the Tree, He that suspended the earth upon the waters. A crown of thorns is placed upon Him Who is the King of the Angels. With false purple is He wrapped about, He that wrappeth the Heavens with clouds. Buffetings did He receive, Who freed Adam in the Jordan. With nails was He affixed, He that is the Bridegroom of the Church. With a lance was He pierced, He that is the Son of the Virgin. We venerate Thy Passion, O Christ. Show also unto us Thy glorious Resurrection."

Order of Services in the Orthodox Church (taken from OrthodoxPhotos.com):

The services of Great Friday are dedicated to the commemoration of the sufferings on the Cross of the Saviour, His death and burial. At Matins, which is served on the evening of Great Thursday (as all services of this week are held the night before the actual day), the Reading of the Twelve Gospels takes place in the middle of the church. These readings are selections from the four Gospels which proclaim the Passion of the Saviour, beginning with His final conversation with the disciples at the Mystical Supper, and ending with His burial in the garden by Joseph of Arimathea and the setting of the military watch over His Tomb. During the readings, the faithful stand with lit candles, which are symbols both of the glory and magnificence which the Lord did not lose during the period of His suffering, and of the ardent love we should have for our Saviour.

On Great Friday the Royal Hours are served, but Liturgy is never served, since on this day the Lord offered Himself as a sacrifice.

Vespers is served at the ninth hour of the day (3 P.M.), which is the hour of the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. In this service His removal from the Cross and His burial are commemorated.

With the chanting of the troparion, "The Noble Joseph, having taken Thy most pure body down from the Tree," the clergy take up the Burial Shroud (an icon) of Christ lying in the tomb (called "Plaschanitsa" in Russian, "epitaphion" in Greek), from the Holy Table as it were, from Golgotha, and carry it from the Altar, into the center of the church, preceded by candles and incense. It is placed on a specially prepared stand that resembles a tomb, and the priests and all those present prostrate themselves before it and kiss the wounds of the Lord depicted upon it, the pierced side and the imprint of the nails in the hands and feet.

The Burial Shroud is left in the church for three days, from Friday afternoon through Saturday and until the first moments of Sunday, in commemoration of the three day entombment of Christ.

Taisia's song

In the movie "Ostrov", the monk Fr Anatoly sings the following song from the bottom of his heart and with gusto. It is short, catchy and rhymes (in Russian). Andrei and I started singing it and it has become THE tune which calms Taisia, particularly when life is being unkind to her in the carseat. It is often in my head which is particularly fitting this Lenten season.

Lord have mercy,
Lord forgive!
Direct me, God, on my way.
My soul is so weak,
and so is my flesh.
And to sinful passions
I'm a criminal slave.

Господи помилуй,
Господи прости!
Помоги мне, Боже, на моем пути.
Я так слаб душою,
Телом так же слаб.
И страстей греховных,
Я преступны раб.

“I like my books big but my banks small.”

Unimportant Things

Its 2am – we’ve just moved to our new home. I can’t sleep. I got up, found and put together the pieces that make up the computer. I had a thought I wanted to share about “unimportant things”. Then I did a bunch of unimportant things (opening boxes, searching for parts, connecting cables, sorting power connectors, etc.) so I can write about “unimportant things” …  hmmmm…..

We moved from what is considered an urban area – into something different – I can’t define it yet. But things here go slower – there is time to really get things done. I feel at home with the pace of things here.

I realized that I (for some reason) categorized some things I do (such as cooking, washing dishes, driving, running errands, etc.) as “unimportant” – though I never quite acknowledged them as such… I do them because I have to, I do them to get them done, I do them because they are required for something else (more important), I do them because no one else, I do them impatiently, I do them thinking I would rather not be doing them.

After noticing this for a while – I realized that when I do something “unimportant” there is a contemplation and once I go through I feel lighter, I relax, I take the time to enjoy what I’m doing, I realize it’s actual as important (or not) as other important (or not) things I do! Importance, and other measures seem confusing and meaningless… I find this pleasing and amusing. Does this ever happen to you?

God is in the details

we are at the point in our process where we have gathered all our documents, even re-gathering some as we did it wrong the first time, and we are ready to send in our precious packet to the secretary of state and then the nica consulate to be authenticated. this is the LAST step that we need to do here in the states!

i've been basically stacking all our documents inside a folder but that is as organized as i have been. as i went to gather them all and put them in order to double check they were all there and prepare them to ship out, i realized i was missing one document. and i could not for the life of me remember where i had put it. add to that that our main living/working area is in complete disarray right now because of remodeling and nothing is where is should be. i checked the 3 places i thought it could be with no luck. i needed to get to work so i said a quick prayer to God to help me find the documents thinking i would look again when i returned home. but about 20 seconds after i said that i noticed a manila folder on our kitchen counter. i stopped and stared at it trying to figure out what it was. it had been there for weeks, under a pile of papers that i had just that morning went through and i had had it in the back of my mind that it was some semi-important mail that i had already looked at but had to find a place for. i thought "could it be?!?!"
and it was! the lost documents. i couldn't believe it!

God is so good all the time and He has been in the big parts and the details of this process since the beginning. what a sweet reminder that He is in charge!

its a huge responsibility

last night i couldn't sleep, like always, but was also plagued with anxiety-filled dreams when i could sleep. somewhere in there, i can't remember if i was asleep or awake, i was worrying about gio and how we only have a few years before he is a teenager and all that that encompasses. i was thinking: 'how are we going to teach him about healthy, Godly relationships in the little time we have, especially with the language barrier? will we be able to instill all we want to instill in him before peer pressure and today's culture influence him?"

he is the one i most worry about for many reasons: he's the oldest which means he has been without a family the longest, has experienced the most neglect and abuse, has vivid memories of his birthmom and, thus, really feels her abandonment, and has the added pressure and burden of having to care for his younger siblings, including a sister who is not with them. he has also figured out how to hide his emotions and utilize self control. he keeps his emotions inside and is embarrassed and ashamed of them; when he is mad or sad and i tell him that he is wonderful, worthy, and loved-that he didn't do anything to deserve the life he has been dealt-he can't even look me in the eye, the shame and guilt are so great. it breaks my heart.

today is just one of those days where the worries overwhelm me; i guess that comes with the territory of being a parent. i think have the added stress of not being with them. not being able to DO something to ease my worries, makes it that much harder for me. plus, my mind is very good at conjuring all sorts of 'what ifs' and going over past circumstances again and again looking for what difficult emotions or behaviours might have been hiding under the surface.

but i know, too, that this waiting period is for a reason. to build us up, to strengthen us, to educate us so that we are more prepared to deal lovingly, knowledgeably and compassionately with all that our boys are bringing with them into this family. i know that we will never be fully prepared, just like everyone else who has become a parent. and even after 11 years of marriage, 11 years of waiting, i still feel like i have SO much more to learn, SO much more to grow. i guess one of the many wonderful aspects of parenting is how much you learn and grow because you are a parent. i look forward to it all, despite the worry and anxiety.

The CONNEXION Initiative

Since January 2011, industrial and academic stakeholders in the French nuclear industry have banded together in an ambitious R&D program related to command and control systems for nuclear power plants. Consistent with the February 2011 recommendations of the National Nuclear Advisory Board, this program has been established as a domain-based approach leveraging cluster of projects. The challenges are many:

  • · develop innovation to help keep the French nuclear industry in the lead both nationally and abroad,
  • · reinforce the credibility and scientific reputation of the partners,
  • ·create knowledge capital to prepare next generations and promote the attractiveness of the nuclear industry.

Entitled “Cluster CONNEXION,” this initiative aims at proposing and validating an innovative architecture for command and control platforms adapted to nuclear power plants worldwide. This architecture integrates a set of technological components developed by the academic partners (CEA, CNRS/CRAN, ENS Cachan, INRIA, LIG, and Telecom Paristech) in cooperation with industrial integrators (AREVA, Alstom and EDF) and providers of embedded software components and tools (All4tec, Atos Worldgrid, CORYS Tess, Esterel Technologies, Rolls Royce Civil Nuclear, and Predict).

With the support of three Competitiveness centers (Minalogic, Pôle Nucléaire Bourgogne and System@tic), this proposal for R&D projects gave birth to a national RFP. The corresponding selection committee issued a favorable recommendation in early 2012. Subsequently, the CONNEXION partners decided to start the R&D work as early as April 2012, uniting their know-how and skills.

To ensure the worldwide competitiveness of the French nuclear industry with respect to building command and control systems, the current aim is to keep up with the scientific and technological advances as well as eliminate obstacles. A number of key topics will be discussed during ICSSEA 2012 that potentially benefit CONNEXION: model-directed engineering in the design and validation of large technical systems, environments for designing and validating man-machine interfaces, implementing sensor wireless networks meant to nuclear industry, object busses or real-time middleware easing exchange of heterogeneous distributed data, standardized data models for guaranteeing consistency of digital systems,…

In order to reinforce the interdependency between the innovations brought about by systems engineering and those by software engineering, the project partners focus their presentations on domain innovation.
