Participants: Mary (Michael), Forrest (Ellius), and Vivien (Miriam).
VIVIEN: Good afternoon, Elias! It's nice to speak with you again. (Elias chuckles) Are you well?
ELIAS: And how goes your investigations, Miriam?
VIVIEN: Very interesting, which is really why I'm calling to speak with you. I've been investigating quite a lot of the other things that I've been receiving impressions of, and I've had a lot of impressions. The thing that I'm finding a little bit difficult is knowing when the impression is a true impression or whether I'm fantasizing. Do you understand what I mean?
VIVIEN: So what I'd like to start with is the focus of Miriam. You very kindly confirmed for me the two impressions I had of myself -- of watching the baby being killed, and the other running from door to door -- and it was the same woman, Miriam.
VIVIEN: I focused in on that some more, and almost immediately I got a whole rush of information from it, and I'd like to swing that by you, if I may.
ELIAS: Let me express to you that you have known individuals that occupy these roles, but not in the interpretation of the biblical accounts, for the biblical accounts of these individuals is quite distorted.
VIVIEN: The image that I saw of Jesus, how I pictured him -- I saw him quite clearly in my mind -- was that image that I saw a correct one of how he looked at that time?
VIVIEN: Slightly darker. I've got his hair a bit light?
ELIAS: ... as a child, but not as an adult.
VIVIEN: Oh, okay. Well, that makes a lot of sense, the other impression that I had when I saw him. Yeah, okay. As Miriam, when I first had the impression of myself watching the baby, I seemed to be very small, but I was on the floor. I was on the ground, kind of collapsed. But when I feel myself and see myself running from door to door, I seem very tall for the time, and my feeling was that I was quite tall for the time.
ELIAS: In actuality, within this particular time period individuals did not hold the creation of great height in general, but some individuals were creating of more height than others. You are correct that for this particular focus, you have chosen to be much taller than the average individual.
VIVIEN: Okay, so I'm getting there. I'm getting a very clear focus in on this. Another question about that period: Jo and Paul, who live in Castaic also, I feel that they were also there at that time, and also I think Vic and Ron -- Lawrence and Olivia -- and all the others. I think many of the people in this group who have come together now -- I'm talking with you and Mary/Michael -- I think many of them were there at the same time too. Is that correct?
ELIAS: You are correct, yes.
VIVIEN: Ah! Now, the impressions that I had of Jo and Paul, were they correct? I saw her as somebody that I knew reasonably well, like a neighbor. And Paul, I saw him as some kind of a scribe.
ELIAS: (Accessing) Within the temple.
VIVIEN: Ah, okay. Now, was he with the established church, but became more interested in the Essenes at that time?
VIVIEN: Ah! So his impression of the desert and dying out there was probably correct too.
VIVIEN: Ah, good! Jo's name ... was her name Johanna at that time?
VIVIEN: And Vic, was she Lydia?
ELIAS: Within a tone, yes.
VIVIEN: Because I remember reading one of your old scripts from way back, and you had mentioned that often when people have a last focus, the name that they have is the same as their essence name.
ELIAS: This may be at many essences' choices. Many essences do choose to be creating of the same name, although it is not a rule, and there are many final focuses that do not hold the same name in physical focus as the essence tone.
VIVIEN: Okay, I guess that makes sense. I think that's all I have on Miriam for the moment. I'd like to go on to the focus that you told me about that I held with Mary as twins. I've investigated quite a lot more of that, and I think about a day after I received that information, I had quite an amazing dream.
VIVIEN: Oh, how interesting! Now, there was a lot more to that dream. I even got two names. One was Fridja, which I think was my name, and the other was Mareka, which I think was Michael's name. Are they close?
VIVIEN: Oh, Rebecca. Was Fridja right?
VIVIEN: Oh, wonderful! And were we German or Dutch?
VIVIEN: Dutch. Cool! Okay, were our parents ... was he like a woodcutter or a farmer of some kind?
VIVIEN: Farmer. A big man?
VIVIEN: Now was ... actually, it's just coming to me now, but was that my present partner?
VIVIEN: Ah! So he was my father in that focus!
VIVIEN: Oh, this is so cool! I'm getting more stuff! Wonderful! Oh, I'm getting so excited about this! I can't believe it!
ELIAS: This shall be a validating to you to be trusting your impressions and your connection to your own focuses.
VIVIEN: Oh, very much! This is just wonderful! Okay, the rest of that dream was really weird. I was, I think, in some kind of ... it felt like a laboratory situation, and I know we were ... as the twins, I know we were together. We seemed to be ... the body from the neck down seemed to be human, like a little girl, but we had ... I think I only saw myself at one point, but we seemed to have long, snake-like necks about two feet long with a tiny little head on the top. Very peculiar looking! I can't even describe it, but I know you can tune in to what I was seeing. And, being observed by who I believe was Forrest observing us. I saw a young man with dark brown hair and a beard observing us with great interest. I really don't understand that part of it at all. (Elias chuckles) You do! So, what was all that about?
ELIAS: You deviate into different type of imagery in this element of your dream state. In this element of your dream state, you move into your own imagery of elements concerning this particular focus.
VIVIEN: Ooo! I don't really understand how that goes together. Can you explain, please?
ELIAS: You have imaged in this manner as your own symbolism to yourself to be suggestive of certain factors, so to speak, of this particular focus. You are correct that you have created an objective image of Ellius and allowed yourself to view this individual. You also image him as being an observer and study, which is correct. What he is studying, his subject matter, is Michael and yourself. You connect yourself to this, for you hold a very strong connection with Michael, and also you identify with elements of this phenomenon. Therefore, you image yourself in this situation of being observed also. What is being observed is the phenomenon. In this, as you hold an awareness of your participation in elements of this particular phenomenon, you also include yourself as being an observational subject.
VIVIEN: Oh, how interesting. The stuff I do! That is amazing! Quite incredible. (Elias chuckles) Tell me something also. With that twin focus, my present partner was my father. The mother seems also familiar somehow. I can't quite put my finger on it, but was it Lawrence?
VIVIEN: Ah! Oh, that's really interesting!
ELIAS: Michael and Lawrence have shared almost all of their focuses together.
VIVIEN: Oh, that is fascinating. So Vic was my mom! Oh, cool! (Elias chuckles) This is so much fun, getting all this stuff! Wow! Oh, did we have a brother?
VIVIEN: Oh. Was it somebody else I know, though?
VIVIEN: Oh, Shynla! That's why I feel the way I do about her ... very familiar. Oh, that is so interesting! Was her name ... oh! Hang on! Was her name Reek or Rika or Ricky or something?
ELIAS: An English translation of Richard.
ELIAS: Ellius occupies this focus also.
VIVIEN: Oh, who was he? Another brother? Correct?
VIVIEN: Alright! So Ellius was a brother. Let me see if I can get his name as well. Did it begin with an M? (Pause) Was it Michael?
VIVIEN: Marcus. Cool! This is just so interesting! Oh Elias, this is just so exciting! I've got to collect myself so I can get on with the next stuff. Okay, connections with you. Were we brothers in France once, or comrades like soldiers or something together?
VIVIEN: Ah, that's why you were so familiar the first time I ever heard your voice.
ELIAS: ... much before what you view to be recent history.
VIVIEN: Ah! Would it be in Egypt?
ELIAS: We have held acquaintance in this physical location.
VIVIEN: The close friendship though, was that in the Middle East?
ELIAS: This would be within your present location of France.
VIVIEN: In France? Oh, then I was right in the first place.
VIVIEN: In ancient times. How ancient? Before recorded history?
ELIAS: No. This would be in the time period of eleven hundred.
VIVIEN: Eleven hundred. Oh, names. Was my name Pierre?
VIVIEN: Henri Pierre. Gosh, these impressions are so easy when you know how to do it!
ELIAS: ... if you are listening to yourself!
VIVIEN: I'm learning how to listen now, that's the thing. Whereas once before I would push these away as just pure imagination or fantasy, now I'm beginning to know the difference.
ELIAS: As you learn not to be discounting and rationalizing your inner voice, you allow yourself the acceptance, and recognize that this IS your language to yourself and that you may offer yourself much information of your essence.
VIVIEN: Wow. What was your name in France at the time I was Henri Pierre?
VIVIEN: Jacques. Oh, this is so amazing! Okay, I'll just have to investigate that some more. We've had other focuses together, haven't we?
VIVIEN: Within the same family sometimes? Was I your mother once?
ELIAS: I have held many more focuses than Michael and Lawrence and have been interactive with other individuals more often within physical focuses, for Michael and Lawrence do not hold a multitude of physical focuses within this particular dimension.
VIVIEN: Yeah. I think I have though, haven't I?
ELIAS: You have held many.
ELIAS: This is viewing other focuses within the individual.
VIVIEN: Yes. Yeah, I knew it was the other individual, and they were all present, not like I was viewing them at other times.
VIVIEN: They were all right there.
ELIAS: For they are all occurring simultaneously.
VIVIEN: Yeah, and that's a question. Within physical locations, we can really be within any physical location, can't we?
VIVIEN: Yeah. It doesn't matter where you believe you are. You're everywhere all at the same time!
VIVIEN: It makes sense when you start thinking about simultaneous time that way, that there is no time or space, that you ARE everywhere ALL the time.
ELIAS: Ah! You are beginning to move closer to the understanding of this concept.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) You shall engage in competition with Siman!
VIVIEN: (Laughing) I know! That'd be fun! Okay, that's enough of that. Can I go on to the next thing now?
VIVIEN: Many years ago -- well not many, I guess it was 1995 -- I had a very unusual experience that never left me. I'd been sleeping, and I woke up in what was like a lucid dream, except it wasn't a lucid dream. It was different. As I came to my full consciousness, I was moving through water, quite murky gray water, and as I kind of got my bearings on where I was, in front of me I could see a huge tail. It was the tail of a great whale, the huge gray whale, the giant blue whale. As I'm moving along behind this tail, I'm sort of aware of myself, that I'm a baby whale following this mother whale. It's my mother. I also saw frogmen swimming around. It seemed to me it was future, but not this kind of future; way into the future sometime. What I wanted to ask you is about that experience. It had tremendous significance for me, but I'm not quite sure what it was.
ELIAS: This is an allowance of a viewing and a drawing to yourself of the experience in allowing an aspect of yourself to be connecting with a creature, for you do not focus yourself into a manifestation of a creature. Essences do not focus into the manifestation of creatures, but for the experience, essences do allow themselves a projection of an aspect of essence to the experience of a creature.
ELIAS: This allows you the understanding and the sensation of the actual experience.
VIVIEN: Yeah, I really felt like I was a whale!
ELIAS: Correct, for in one sense you are ... although you are not.
VIVIEN: Yeah, I understand. Oh, it was amazing! The frogmen, who were they?
ELIAS: (Accessing) Tendants. They tend these creatures.
ELIAS: Within a protected area.
VIVIEN: And was this very much in the future?
VIVIEN: Okay. Those breathing apparatus I saw them wearing, they were like the size of a telephone directory, bright yellow, and it seemed that they were breathing air from the water, like these were machines that produced air for them to breathe from the water itself.
VIVIEN: Gosh, that's not too far in the future then, is it? It's next century.
ELIAS: Correct. Your reality within your coming millennium shall produce marvels!
VIVIEN: I can believe it! And the whales will be protected at last. That's nice to know. Hmm. Okay, can I go on to the next thing now?
VIVIEN: Alright. Oh, the dream I had recently about Mary again. I think it might have been a probable reality mixed up with something else, but I've had this dream about myself living at home with my mother still. My brother may be living there, and my father still being alive. In the dream, Mary was coming to visit us. I think we were expecting her for a day or two, but when she arrived she said that she would be staying longer, at least a week, because she needed more time to recover. I think that's what she said; it was something along those lines. Then she went upstairs to the bedroom that I used to have in the house and went to bed, because she said she was very tired. Then I said, 'Perhaps I can help you.' I seemed to be doing some kind of Reiki over her, but what I noticed was, she looked fine except behind her knees. There were some broken veins, like varicose veins, which looked really bruised. She also told me three things that were wrong with her. It was medical terminology. I think one had something to do with her nerves, one had something to do with her kidney or liver, the other I'm not sure; that kind of evaporated. But I seemed to be trying to help her with energy. I know that the dream seems pretty self-explanatory, but I don't think it is. I think there's more to it than that, but I haven't quite cottoned onto it, and I wonder if you could help me with that.
ELIAS: This is your imagery to yourself, in tapping into what you may view to be future probabilities.
VIVIEN: Oh, don't tell me I'm going to go live with my mom again!
ELIAS: No. The imagery is symbolic of different elements, but offering you elements that are familiar which are suggestive of other aspects of the probabilities. In this, you are tapping into the possibility of the creation of a future probability, that Michael may choose to be traveling to this particular country for a limited time framework.
VIVIEN: Oh, that would be interesting!
VIVIEN: Such as those ones that he told me in the dream?
VIVIEN: Okay. Now obviously I felt, in my part in that, that I could be helpful to him within energy.
VIVIEN: In the dream he accepted the energy, actually was welcoming of it.
VIVIEN: So in that case, it would seem to me then, if the situation arises as a probability, then I will be able to help him.
ELIAS: But be aware that this physical manifestation, although it may be affected by this energy exchange and it may be enhanced by this energy exchange, it also is created by himself in conjunction with issues that he is engaging presently, and moving himself into areas of physical manifestations.
VIVIEN: Yes, I understand; his creation. But maybe if I can help, that would be of some benefit anyway.
VIVIEN: Yeah. Alright, the next thing. With my husband, my present partner, we had been brothers in a previous focus, and tuning into that one, I came up with, I think, either the Mediterranean or the Middle East.
VIVIEN: Libya. Ah, that's interesting. Then the impression I have of being quite dark would be accurate.
VIVIEN: Yeah. Now, my partner I believe was also in my time of Miriam, when I was Miriam. Was he my father then as well?
VIVIEN: Uncle. Okay. Oh, he's been my uncle as well! Okay, that's interesting. On the mother's side?
VIVIEN: Oh, on the father's side. Alright. Oh, was that not a very good relationship at that time?
ELIAS: Not entirely conflicting, but also not holding tremendous closeness.
VIVIEN: Okay, I think I'll investigate that some more then. Libya. Hmm. Quite ancient times in Libya. Is that correct?
VIVIEN: I'll see if I can find out more about that one. The other thing, my son James/Paschal, you told me had been my son before.
VIVIEN: What I got from that was a focus with myself as a black woman, probably African, and a baby, a very beautiful bouncing toddler baby, and I thought perhaps that was one time when I'd been his mother before.
VIVIEN: Ah! That was Africa?
VIVIEN: It was a very happy focus, I think. I seem to be very happy.
VIVIEN: Yeah. What part of Africa were we in?
VIVIEN: Ethiopia. Oh, okay. That's why Ethiopian people have a familiarity to me. That's interesting. That's a good one. Okay, I can focus some more on that. The other thing I would like to do is, perhaps, would you mind giving me some essence names and family names for some people?
VIVIEN: Rahn. Family and alignment?
ELIAS: Essence family, Milumet; alignment, Vold.
VIVIEN: Vold. Okay. Next, my father.
ELIAS: Servel; S-E-R-V-E-L. (Pronounced ser-vail') Essence family, Ilda.
VIVIEN: I'm sorry, what was that?
ELIAS: Millow; M-I-L-L-O-W. Essence family, Sumari; alignment, Zuli.
VIVIEN: Zuli. My niece Helena?
ELIAS: Seth. Essence family, Sumari; alignment, Ilda.
VIVIEN: Okay. My brother's present partner Usha?
ELIAS: Pierce; P-I-E-R-C-E. Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Sumari.
ELIAS: Raul; R-A-U-L. Essence family, Sumari; alignment, Gramada.
ELIAS: Lyth; L-Y-T-H. (Pronounced lith) Essence family, Sumari; alignment, Sumafi.
ELIAS: Essence name, Milde; M-I-L-D-E. (Pronounced mild) Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Ilda.
ELIAS: Essence name, Bianca; B-I-A-N-C-A. Essence family, Borledim; alignment, Zuli.
ELIAS: Mario; M-A-R-I-O. Essence family, Borledim; alignment, Tumold.
VIVIEN: And my friend from China, Qui Feng?
ELIAS: Zohnn; Z-O-H-N-N. (Pronounced zon) Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Milumet.
ELIAS: Essence name, Mason; M-A-S-O-N. Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Vold.
VIVIEN: And his present wife Laveta?
ELIAS: Essence name, Comlette; C-O-M-L-E-T-T-E. Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Tumold.
Vic's note: In session dated 3/19/98, Forrest asked essence names and families for three of the above individuals. Vivien was unaware of this because that transcript wasn't completed at the time of this session, so she asked again. All three names, families, and alignments are given differently. I hesitate to speculate as to why, but Vivien intends to ask Elias about the discrepancy.
VIVIEN: Ah! Okay, that's all of those. Thank you very much. A quick question about my father-in-law and his present wife. When I first met them, I had a tremendous amount of conflict with both of them -- not open warfare or anything like that, but just not very comfortable around their personalities -- and I'm wondering if that's attached to previous focuses held together.
ELIAS: Partially, which you may be investigating of!
VIVIEN: I shall! We'll see what I come up with. Alright, let's see. What else did I have? Oh, a physical thing. I'm having a real bad time with a muscle in my right shoulder. It keeps on tightening up, and I can't seem to get rid of it. Now, it's obviously trying to tell me something. It's really like an alarm signal going off, but I'm afraid my light bulb in my head isn't going on at the same time, so I wonder if you could help me understand what that's about.
ELIAS: This holds two elements; one that you offer to yourself, and one that you are empathically connecting to. Both are related to similar issues. You hold this energy within this area of your shoulder, for you are holding responsibility in this area and viewing that you must be, so to speak, shouldering this responsibility.
VIVIEN: Is this still to do with my son?
ELIAS: Quite simplistic, is it not?
ELIAS: In this, you hold partial in the area of your son, but more in the area of your partner.
VIVIEN: Ah! That's all to do with this move that's coming up.
ELIAS: Quite, and within this movement, you are holding energy in this area of personal responsibility in conjunction with this individual. You are also empathically connecting with Michael, who is experiencing the same issue.
VIVIEN: Oh, how interesting! I guess the twin thing never stops, does it?
ELIAS: Quite! You may be inquiring of Lawrence in this area!
VIVIEN: Ah! So Lawrence has it too?
VIVIEN: Yeah, they still fascinate me. Any kind of multiple birth fascinates me. Now that we're coming to that, have I been in other multiple births in focuses?
VIVIEN: Like five of us?
VIVIEN: Four. Wow. Was Michael another one of those?
VIVIEN: Oh. The other three, would they have been from focuses that I know presently?
VIVIEN: Oh, I bet I could find out really easily then!
VIVIEN: Was my son one?
VIVIEN: Okay. Ooo, good! I got one! My partner?
VIVIEN: Yes, I am! (They both laugh) But my son was. That's good. I'll find out the other two then. I will! I'll figure it out. With my mother, for instance, I feel like I've been her mother before.
ELIAS: Yes. This is quite common within manifestations of physical focuses.
VIVIEN: Oh, a question about my father. He passed away in 1979. I was wondering, has he refocused again or is he still deciding?
ELIAS: These are difficult questions for your understanding, for they are creating of confusion with many individuals. I may express to you that there is what you may term to be a remanifestation, although they are all simultaneous, but this focus also is not remanifest; for within the action of what you think of as remanifestation, a new manifestation -- a new focus -- is created by the projection of an aspect of the other focus, but the personality of the focus that has already manifest continues non-physically.
VIVIEN: Oh. I think ... well, I don't know if I do understand, but I'll see if I can work it out. (Elias chuckles) I guess the time will come when I will understand. I just have to focus on this one right now, and see what's going on with this one.
VIVIEN: Yeah. Oh, I wonder if you could give me some insight -- I think I've figured some of it out -- with this move that we're going to be having right now back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida ... with my husband's partner and all the fuss that's going on right now within our new business venture. I think I know what some of it's coming from, from my husband's partner's point of view, from his beliefs and creations, but I'm not quite sure how it's coming from our side of things, what this whole thing is about. I wonder if you could help me with that.
ELIAS: Hmm. Look to underlying elements of control issues.
ELIAS: This shall be helpful to you.
VIVIEN: Yes ... somewhat. My feeling is that it's going to blow over, and it'll be okay within probabilities.
VIVIEN: And it won't be that long. It'll be less than one year.
ELIAS: If there is a recognition and a discontinuing of these particular issues. Although they are underlying, they are not extremely strong, but may be causing of conflict if not addressed to.
VIVIEN: Alright. So the main personality involved then would be my husband's partner?
VIVIEN: So my husband and his partner.
VIVIEN: Ah. So from my partner's point of view ... this is interesting because of the position that he's going to be taking on. Has this to do with his own control issues?
VIVIEN: Ah! So this move into this business isn't quite as easy for him?
VIVIEN: I see. Now I understand a great deal more. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are welcome. I shall be expressing of a break, and if you are so choosing, you may be continuing with your questioning.
VIVIEN: Okay, very well. Thank you. I have just a few more to do, so perhaps a break would be good. Thank you.
VIVIEN: Thank you. I'd like to start off with ... actually, it's something I just remembered. It's a dream I had, I think it was years ago, a long time ago, and it came to me that this had something to do with Mary. The dream was this: I went into sort of like a second-hand store or a place where they sold antiques, bric-a-brac, things like that, but there was also a bar, like a liquor bar inside. I sat down at this place, and as I looked around, I saw on the wall behind me a basket of some kind hanging on the wall with what I thought was like a small doll inside of it, a doll that looked like an old-fashioned Punch-and-Judy doll. But all of a sudden I realized that this doll was a human being up there, but very tiny, like a two-foot-high human being. I'm not sure if there were any arms or legs. It seemed to be just a body and a head. I got the feeling that this had something to do with Michael, and I wonder if you can help me with that.
ELIAS: Hmm. Interesting imagery that you have presented to yourself.
VIVIEN: It was very peculiar. I seemed to take the little person down, and held her.
ELIAS: This would be imagery that would be in connection to elements and issues which have been created within Michael's focus. This would be imagery into an understanding of how Michael views himself.
VIVIEN: Wow! That's so interesting!
ELIAS: In this, Michael holds many issues in the area of his own acceptance and viewing of himself, in not entirely feeling wholeness in response to choices that he has engaged within this particular focus.
VIVIEN: Oh, I think I understand a great deal more now about that, about how Michael views himself. How interesting! This was years ago, I think, long before I met Michael physically.
ELIAS: But all is simultaneous.
VIVIEN: That's right. Time is simultaneous! I'm learning! (Elias chuckles) Alright, what was the fact that there was so much bric-a-brac and junk and stuff around? Not really junk, but second-hand things.
ELIAS: This would be all of the cluttering belief systems that are distracting and confusing to him.
VIVIEN: Ah! Not my clutter, his clutter.
VIVIEN: 'Cause I'm good at clutter as well! I'm very good at clutter! (They both laugh) And that's another question I might ask you. What is it about second-hand stores, flea markets, thrift stores? I love them! There's something that really draws me to them, just finding neat stuff!
ELIAS: This also is objective imagery to yourself. You hold a fascination with investigation of your other focuses, and you objectively image this in your draw to these types of establishments.
VIVIEN: Because they're so eclectic.
VIVIEN: That's right. They have a bit of everything there, from all different periods and times and styles. Oh, that makes a lot of sense now. That's why I like such an eclectic sort of surrounding for myself.
VIVIEN: ... his business partner. He had a dream the other day, and I think it's a pretty self-explanatory one as well, but he wanted me to swing it by you anyway. He was either with a company or watching a company build a very long tunnel, maybe ten miles, going through mountains which he thought were the Alps, and the tunnel was being made coming from both sides of the mountain so that it would meet in the middle. There was a short distance to go, about a quarter of a mile, before the two tunnels would join up into becoming one tunnel. He was also talking with someone; he didn't know who it was. The company building this tunnel was a very old company, very well established. It was the type of company ... there weren't many old companies like this left. Then he found himself looking at maybe a map of the Alps or looking down at the Alps, and the thought occurred to him as he was looking that there would be a major upthrust in the Alps and that the tunnel was not going to be completed, and it would also be the end of the old company who was building it, and it would also mark the end of an era in building in some way.
He said the dream then shifted. He found himself in a high-rise hotel on a very high floor, maybe even the top, and he was then moved down to the second floor, but this seemed acceptable to him. He also said that there was several other dreams in succession and he thinks they have a lot to do with that same theme, but he can't remember those others. He also had the impression that he had to beware of something. It's like something stopped him and said, 'Beware.' And he wanted me to ask you to see what you could tell him about that.
ELIAS: This dream imagery is imagery concerning this shift in consciousness. The tunnel is the imagery of one movement and another movement in consciousness. These tunnels meet, but in the meeting of these tunnels shall be the ending of one, which is the era of the held, accepted official reality in consciousness, and the new being ushered in, in replacing the old established reality.
VIVIEN: Oh, that is so neat! What an interesting dream.
ELIAS: The viewing of this action is the imagery that is presented to himself of his own viewing of the movement and the accomplishment of this shift in consciousness. The message is imagery to be noticing and to be holding the awareness that these are massive movements occurring.
VIVIEN: That's why he sees them as mountains.
ELIAS: Correct. Quite powerful movements objectively and subjectively, in which one shall entirely replace the other, so to speak, although in the meeting and connecting of the tunnels there is also the mergence, which is imagery presented suggestive that certain elements shall remain the same. You shall continue to inhabit your physical space. You shall continue interaction in the manner that you are familiar with, to a certain extent, but that the new shall be replacing of the old, and it shall be the end of the era.
VIVIEN: Gosh, that's so interesting. That is so interesting! Now, when he was moved from the high floor down to the second floor, what was that all about?
ELIAS: This also is imagery to be suggesting to himself to be remembering to hold to his grounding, so to speak.
Alright, let me see what else I have. Oh yes, I did want to ask you about my own channeling of my higher consciousness.
VIVIEN: A couple of questions about that. I think I'm realizing what it is that's holding me back. I think I'm a little bit fearful of not being HERE. I know when Mary channels you, she goes to her own little place and then you take in, and she doesn't really remember anything that you've said when she comes back. What I'm interested in ... if I succeed in doing this, would I have full awareness of what I'm saying?
VIVIEN: Oh, so it could go either way.
ELIAS: Correct. It is more probable that you shall allow yourself the awareness objectively, for this also allows you to move into areas and abate your fearfulness in part, for it allows you the feeling of control.
VIVIEN: I guess, although you really never lose control, do you?
VIVIEN: You're always in control, wherever you are, whatever you feel. I think we think of being out of control when we're having unpleasant experiences, and being in control when it feels good.
VIVIEN: Yeah. Really, we shouldn't judge that. Now, within probabilities, am I moving closer to that channeling?
VIVIEN: Oh, good! Within time frame, would it be within a year?
ELIAS: This is dependent upon your choices and your movement through your own fear issues.
VIVIEN: If it's a conscious choice, I choose to do it right now! But within probabilities, I guess it could be any time then.
VIVIEN: Yeah, I just have to let go of any fear that I have left.
VIVIEN: Is it basically that of fear of control?
ELIAS: There are elements of unfamiliarity in these actions and this creates a fearfulness, for the perception is that you shall be losing your control.
VIVIEN: Yeah, but not really.
VIVIEN: I shall work on it some more. I'll get there one of these days. Oh, and something else that's just come to me. When I was first going through my hypnotherapy training, I was doing a meditation one afternoon, not really trying to do or be anything in particular, just trying an altered state of consciousness, and it seemed to me that something ... I broke through some kind of a dimensional veil. My eyes were open, my physical eyes were open, and I was looking out the window, but at the same time I seemed to see a man standing in front of me who kind of said something like, 'Well done!' or 'You did it!' or 'You made it!' He was a little man with glasses, I think, slightly balding. I don't know who he was, but it seemed to be a very real experience. Can you tell me what that was?
VIVIEN: Oh! Where did I go? Where was I? Where did I find myself?
ELIAS: ... stepping into another probable reality which you have created in difference to this particular reality. It is an action of stepping sideways.
VIVIEN: It was very unusual because I was here at the same time.
VIVIEN: Who was that man that I saw? I didn't recognize him at all.
ELIAS: This would merely be another individual which occupies this particular probable reality. It is not an aspect of yourself.
VIVIEN: He seemed to be aware that I had broken through something.
VIVIEN: So in this other reality where he is, what does he do?
VIVIEN: Huh! A caretaker for people like me who break through every now and again?
VIVIEN: Oh, a REAL caretaker!
VIVIEN: Huh! So when he saw me, what was he seeing?
VIVIEN: Was he aware of what he was seeing?
VIVIEN: In the reality that he's existing in, is it quite normal?
ELIAS: But this individual has experienced also these allowances of bleed-through to probable realities, just as yourself. Therefore, the awareness was held.
VIVIEN: I was astonished to see him. Was he astonished to see me?
ELIAS: Not quite to the extent as yourself!
VIVIEN: This is so funny! This is really interesting, bleeding through into probabilities like that, and this is what we'll be doing when the shift is really completed.
VIVIEN: Wow! That is so fascinating, and so easy to do! (Elias chuckles) I can't do it when I try to do it, but it just happens very effortlessly when you're not trying.
VIVIEN: And that's the key, isn't it?
VIVIEN: Yeah, not to try. Just to shift focus.
VIVIEN: That's all it is. You're just shifting focus. Hmm. Wow! That's really blown me away! (Elias chuckles) A couple more questions and I'll finish up, but I mentioned before some friends and you gave me their essence family names and so on. Now my neighbors, Anita and John, they seem to be having conflict within their relationship and they're really trying very hard to work through it. Can you give me any kind of information that I could pass on to them that might help them? (Pause) That would be Bianca and Mario.
ELIAS: Hmm. This is a common experience. Individuals within many relationships allow themselves, within their own belief systems, to hold to these belief systems and to hold to their rigidness within themselves, and in this do not allow for the acceptance of the other individual. This is creating of much conflict with many individuals, these in particular also.
VIVIEN: Yeah. Is there anything that they can do other than just release their rigid attitude to each other?
ELIAS: Express to be remembering of light-heartedness. All within your focus is not so very serious!
VIVIEN: Yeah, that's the truth, isn't it! It really is taking things too seriously.
ELIAS: As you view through your rigidness in your belief systems, you become very serious, and in this seriousness you lose your effortlessness.
VIVIEN: Yeah, everything becomes hard work.
VIVIEN: Yeah, that's very apparent with both of them in different ways. Thank you. I'll pass that on to them. The other question I wanted to ask you was for my Chinese friend Qui Feng. I think she's come to sort of a crossroads in her life, and really, I don't know if she's understanding what direction she wants to take or how she wants to go forward. She's returning to China in August, and I think she has very mixed feelings about that. I wonder if you could give me any information that I could pass on to her that would help her.
ELIAS: This is a complicated situation.
VIVIEN: Yes, I guessed that it might be.
VIVIEN: Okay. I think it would do her good. I think she would be interested in seeing you, speaking with you.
ELIAS: ... more information than may be offered in a simple offering of advice.
VIVIEN: Okay, I'll give her the phone number. I think she would be interested in doing this anyway. Well, I think that's about it for today. I can't think of anything more I wanted to speak with you about, unless you have anything to offer?
ELIAS: Merely that you continue to be investigating, and that I am acknowledging of your accomplishment!
VIVIEN: Oh, it's very validating for me. Thank you.
ELIAS: I am also acknowledging of your movement, of which your physical movement is imagery of the inner movement that you are also accomplishing.
ELIAS: Quite, and in this there is accomplishment.
VIVIEN: Yeah. I think anything can be seen as accomplishment as long as you look at it the right way, with the right perception.
VIVIEN: Yeah. You just have to turn it to your own advantage, and to everybody else's advantage if you can! Well, thank you very much, Elias. Oh! One more quick question! I'm going to do a Lawrence -- one more quick little question! When I hear you talking to me -- other people have asked you this as well -- am I really hearing you?
ELIAS: Yes. You may be assured of this.
VIVIEN: Yeah. I thought I was. I see you as Mary, though. I do have one other image of you and I'm wondering where that one is coming from, looking a little bit like the Oscar Wilde focus, but dark hair and more masculine looking.
ELIAS: Quite a common image that I present myself within.
VIVIEN: Was it a physical one you held once?
ELIAS: Many of my physical manifestations were quite similar.
VIVIEN: Oh, okay. Good looking guy!
VIVIEN: Yeah. Quite a hunk! (They both laugh) Alright, Elias. Thank you very much.
VIVIEN: I will speak with you again soon.
ELIAS: Very well, and I shall be offering you much affection, and express to you this day a very loving au revoir.
Elias departs at 4:08 PM.
(1) A bit of twin trivia: I met my 'cosmic twin' because a co-worker gave me a phone number to call. This phone number led me to attend a function that Mary also attended, and hence we met. This co-worker has an identical twin. Not only do they look exactly alike, their voices are indistinguishable. According to Elias, this co-worker is a splintered fragment of Mary.

La Bassee, France, 1761- Paris, 1845.
The gendered symmetry of the charming girls with small dogs and the boy with a hunting breed reinforces their respective future roles as doting mothers and a gentleman hunter. Boilly also creates a resemblance between the children and animals: they all have soft, silky manes and big eyes.
Anthrozoologists believe our human impulse to care for babies is linked to our attraction to small animals with large eyes and high vocal registers, two traits associated with cuteness. This biological impulse compels us to protect and care for our young and also informs our breeding of certain dogs, especially those in the Toy Group.

Last time I touched on why you should get a Preventive Maintenance for your heating system. But what else should you be thinking of as spring finally reaches us?
• Get your screens out of storage, clean them and check them for holes. Remember to double-check along the edges…it's easy to miss an area that's become detached but you know the bugs will find it. And don't forget the screens on foundation and other exterior vents. They can become blocked or damaged over the winter.
• Remove leaves and other debris from your gutters and downpipes. If any sections have pulled away from the side of the house (or were knocked out by an over-exuberant snowplow) reattach them. Check for good drainage—if you don't want to wait for the next significant rainfall, use a hose.
• Look for and replace any deteriorating exterior caulking.
• Pressure wash siding and check any exterior wood surfaces for flaking or peeling paint.
• Clean your windows…even if spring's not quite here yet clean windows will make it seem like it came early!
• Pick up the debris in the yard…whether it's turf that's been turned over by the snowplow or limbs brought down by the storms, winter debris looks depressing at this time of year.
• Check your sprinkler system for leaks, blockages, and exposed lines.
• If you didn't do it at the end of the summer, have your AC system checked over and tuned up.
• Go up in the attic and see if anyone other than you has been living under your roof. Also look for signs of mold or water ingress from a damaged roof.
• Cut back any trees or shrubs that are overgrowing the house. It's a good idea to keep overhanging trees at a distance so they can't bring moisture or squirrels into the attic.
• Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors as well as your thermostats.
And, once you've done all that, sit back, breathe in the warm fresh air and enjoy the emerging flowers and foliage…Happy Spring everyone!

I'm Jason Neuswanger, known as "Troutnut" to my fishing buddies. This page answers some peoples' questions about my background and how Troutnut.com came about.
My scientific career is best described on my academic website, but here's a quick summary.
In August 2014 I received my Ph.D. in biology (specializing in trout & salmon ecology) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I studied the feeding behavior and population dynamics of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Chena River in central Alaska. You can read a basic summary of my dissertation on this site or view the whole thing as a PDF.
Immediately after finishing my Ph.D. work, I started a post-doctoral research position, remotely collaborating on an Alaska-based project with Dr. Gary Grossman at the University of Georgia. We're working to better understand the mechanisms that control the behavior and feeding success of drift-feeding fish, using juvenile Chinook salmon, dwarf dolly varden, and Arctic grayling for our case study.
I started fly fishing in July of 2003 after a brief stint as an avid worm dunker left me fascinated with trout but annoyed with my methods. I had received a fly rod the previous Christmas and I liked the prospect of catching trout without carrying several cups of easily overheated leaf worms in my fishing vest.
I borrowed a copy of Ernest Schwiebert's encyclopedic 2-volume Trout from a friend and read much of it. I learned to cast through his fluid prose, and I read about the excitement of hatch-matching, though I was not yet ready to apply it.
I vividly remember my first trout on the fly. It was a muggy July afternoon and I was hoping for a blizzard hatch of "White Flies," whatever those were (Ephoron mayflies, it turns out). I had just bought some dry flies at a local sport shop, but I didn't really know what was what.
My first trout on the fly, a respectable 14-inch brown.
Toward dusk some very large mayflies started bobbing and weaving over the water. I did not yet know an emergence from a spinner flight from a spinner fall, but I tied on a scruffy Hexagenia limbata dun imitation and started flailing it around. I had trouble keeping it afloat on the riffly water, and one especially turbulent current tongue swallowed my fly. I strained my eyes to see it but I gave up. Yet when I pulled up for the next cast, it did not come! My rod bent and I felt a fish tugging. I dared not assume it was a wily trout, and I contained my excitement until I was sure I was not connected to a snagged redhorse. A respectable 14-inch brown trout found its way into my net and was photographed and released. I later learned that the large mayfly spinners were Hexagenia atrocaudata, a sparse and rarely fishable hatch, and I doubt my catch had anything to do with them. But it did a lot for me.
I started tying flies in early November that year, and I grew frustrated with the limited color plates in the many excellent books on stream insects that I had by then collected. I needed to see the real thing, so I borrowed a kick net and started collecting insects from my streams.
I quickly learned that any insect preserved in a vial of chemicals is a poor representative of the vibrant living thing. A better method of preservation was photography, and I started to photograph the insects I collected.
The familiar face of Troutnut.com through most of the first two years of its existence.
I posted some of the pictures on online forums and the reaction was very positive. I needed a way to store and organize them anyway, and since I had much experience working as a web programmer (the ultimate high school job for a computer geek in the 90s) the natural choice was to create a website. Troutnut.com went online in February of 2004.
Here�s a tip for anyone working on an angling entomology � never ask yourself before, during, or after if it�s worth it. Never let the slightest hint of sanity taint the compulsion that is the foundation of such a pursuit.
We need not ask ourselves if it's worth it, because the answer is always yes.
I was born in 1980 in the northeastern Missouri, way too far from any trout streams. Because my father is a fishery biologist, I started fishing at the age of 2 or so, and I was obsessed with it.
The Troutnut fishing a Catskill tailwater.
From age 10-12 I spent (Spent: The wing position of many aquatic insects when they fall on the water after mating. The wings of both sides lay flat on the water. The word may be used to describe insects with their wings in that position, as well as the position itself.) much of my time poking around a couple of very small streams within bicycle or walking range of my house in the woods. They were too warm and intermittent to hold trout, but many minnows lived there and I learned their taxonomy and sought every local species for my aquarium like a collector. My dad showed me what caddisflies were at one point, but I never became really interested in invertebrates at the time.
In 8th grade I saw Carl Sagan's Cosmos video series and read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Those things set me down the path toward a career in astrophysics and I ended up at Cornell University's astronomy program as an undergraduate. After a few years I realized I wouldn't enjoy the day-to-day work in that field, as fun as it was to read about astronomers' results in the news. So I took some time off. Around that time my parents moved from Missouri to northwest Wisconsin, to evergreen forests laced with fertile trout streams.
I spent (Spent: The wing position of many aquatic insects when they fall on the water after mating. The wings of both sides lay flat on the water. The word may be used to describe insects with their wings in that position, as well as the position itself.) a year and a half back there, during which I developed the initial version of this website. I also learned how my knack for applied math and computer programming could be applied to quantitative fisheries science, so I returned to Cornell and finished my degree as a mathematics major. Some fascinating classes on mathematical and behavioral ecology drew me into a corner of fishery science that led straight to a Ph.D. program in beautiful Alaska.

Daring and innovative, the Los Angeles Philharmonic is a revelation; REDCAT is an underrated gem.
No matter what you think of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall—some have compared the design to a toppled Slinky or a Martian sailboat—the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic is the best place to see classical music on the West Coast. The Phil's creative director, Gustavo Dudamel, is a Venezuelan that has put the highly regarded orchestra on the international classical music map.
In the same building is the Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (REDCAT), which is as entrenched in the L.A. cultural scene as the Phil. Host to experimental theater, edgy performance art, and film screenings year round, REDCAT is an underrated spot to catch cutting-edge live art. REDCAT also has a gallery that holds contemporary exhibitions. Finally, there's a somewhat secret garden at the top of the Concert Hall, called the Blue Ribbon Garden. It's often empty in the middle of the day, making it a perfect spot to have lunch or a contemplative break from the rush of Los Angeles.
The Philharmonic is one of the best classical music orchestras in the U.S. Walt Disney Concert Hall isn't just the home of the L.A. Phil, though: soloists and non-Phil concerts happen there, as well as opera and jazz performances, and the occasional pop musician. Seats in the balcony can cost anywhere from $60 to $100, and the closer you get, the costs rise. REDCAT puts on excellent performance art, theatrical works, experimental films, talks, and panels that range from polished and high budget, to homemade and offbeat.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall, which opened in 2003, spared no expense on the seating. Acoustically, nearly every seat in the house is prime. The only exception: the sides of the balcony. Instead, get seats in middle of the balcony, as you'll be able to see everything. All the seats are roomy and comfortable in both the Concert Hall and at REDCAT.
Kids under six are not permitted at the L.A. Phil (with the exception of holiday concerts), and kids older than that need to be able to sit still for two hours.
It may not be the only orchestra in the world to play avant-garde classical music and new American composers like Philip Glass and John Adams, but it might be the best. There is almost no comparison to any classical music in the world when Dudamel is conducting Mahler—it's that good. REDCAT also puts on risky performances that you won't see anywhere else, and the pristine setting gives the art a boost.
Classical music isn't for everyone, but the L.A. Phil is known for being a place where even those who eschew the genre find themselves enjoying it. If you're already a fan, you're sure to be wowed.

Wall Street Brings Class War to America?
By Les Leopold
As thousands of demonstrators marched in European capitals on Wednesday to protest recent austerity measures, officials in Brussels proposed stiffening sanctions for governments that fail to cut their budget deficits and debt swiftly enough. ("Workers In Europe Protest Austerity Measures", New York Times, 9/30/2010)
October 01, 2010 "Huffington Post" -- Oh, do the super-rich hate the sound of "class struggle." Dare to utter the words and they'll reach for their red-baiting paint guns and spray you silly with invective. It's un-American. It's socialistic. It's an insult to democracy and freedom.
But try as they might, they can't paint over the reality, which the new Fortune 400 listings make so clear: Wall Street billionaires have more money than they'll ever be able to use--at a time when more than 29 million of us don't have that most basic necessity, a full-time job. A hidden class war got us to this point. It's not hidden anymore.
Once upon a time there was a tangible connection between the plutocrats and the rest of us. Carnegie, Mellon and Rockefeller built sprawling enterprises that employed tens of thousands of workers (even if they did treat them brutally). But today's billionaire financiers, about 100 of whom are on the Fortune 400 list, have a tough time explaining how their money-making schemes produce any jobs at all. Very few of us have a clue about how they even make their money.
But we are clued in to the way our society is splitting apart. What's good for the Wall Street tycoons is not good for America. The wealthy may loathe hearing about "class struggle," but we're in the middle of one -- and it's a doozy.
Back in the 1800s (and onward), "class struggle" meant the economic conflict between the interests of working people and those who owned "the means of production." But that construct proved too rigid to describe a complex modern economy. Companies are often run by managers who aren't owners. Most middle managers and supervisors also are workers, not owners, though they may identify with upper management. In glamor industries like Hollywood and sports, some workers are far richer and more powerful than the managers and owners. And many workers are "owners" through stock purchases made individually and through their pension funds.
"Class struggle" also doesn't capture the symbiotic relationship between workers, managers and owners. Yes, we fight over everything from plant shutdowns to job safety and health care benefits. But we also have common interests - workers want to keep their jobs, and for that they are dependent upon "owners." Instead of class struggle, we often see workers lobbying alongside owners for policies that might keep their industry afloat. This worker-boss connection is often much stronger than any sense of broad class solidarity among workers across the country. Most of us define ourselves as middle class, not working class, and we don't see ourselves at war with the business owners.
Until now. The financial crisis is squaring up a new class struggle: The handful of financial elites versus the rest of us. Where's our common interest? What's good for them (a $10 trillion bailout) costs us jobs and public services, and deepens the public debt. Financial elites have effectively hijacked our economy and there will be hell to pay to get it back.
Beginning in the mid-1970s the twin policies of financial deregulation and tax cuts for the super-rich laid the groundwork for the rise of financial industry billionaires. We were told these policies would fuel an enormous investment boom that would cause all boats to rise. Not quite. Income certainly gushed to the top fraction of one percent. But then we entered the financial industry Twilight Zone: The super-rich accumulated so much money that they literally ran out of investments in normal industries that produced real goods and services. Wall Street, now a deregulated Wild West, rode to the rescue by creating all manner of new paper investment opportunities. Instead of buying a piece of a factory or company through stocks and bonds, you bought derivatives. Or you gave your money to hedge funds where you could "earn" outsized returns with little risk -- just what the super-rich craved. Unfortunately, the entire enterprise was built upon layer after layer of leverage. The result was an unstable upside-down pyramid of "structured finance" balancing on a very narrow base of real tangible assets.
All of this worked just fine until it didn't. You know the rest of the story. When housing prices stopped rising, these paper assets - the CDOs and all the rest - went up in smoke, incinerating the rest of the economy in the process. (Please see The Looting of America for an easy-to-read account.)
On their long way up, financial industry billionaires grabbed our economy by the cojones-- and they're not letting go. Here are a few of the indicators:
Financial sector profits dramatically increased in the past several decades, peaking at over 40 percent of all corporate profits just before the economic collapse. Now the industry's profits are chugging back up again.
After the inevitable crash, the financial sector and its investors had all the political clout they needed to ensure their swift rescue by the government. Instead of paying a hefty price for wrecking the economy with their bad bets as dictated by free market principles, they got bailed out at taxpayer expense.
The 2010 financial reform bill did not break up financial institutions that were too big to fail or too interconnected to fail. It also didn't rebuild the Glass-Steagall Act's wall between investment banks and depository banks. The six largest banks are now bigger than ever.
Congress rejected our calls for a windfall profits tax or financial transaction tax to help pay for the financial sector's catastrophic damage to our economy. Instead Wall Street elites are again reaping enormous profits, leaving 29 million unemployed and underemployed people in the dust.
To pay for our rising public debt we're being told to tighten our belts so that they don't have to tighten theirs.
Economists assure us that the financial sector's role is to prudently move excess savings into investment. But that's not how Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, the largest private equity funds and the largest hedge funds are raking in their billions. Their real cash cow is their secretive daily practice of "proprietary trading" -- the equivalent of gambling in a rigged casino. This has nothing to do with investing in industries that might put our people to work. So our paltry economic growth is generating financial industry booty, not jobs.
Our billionaires might want us to think of them as great statesmen working to help our nation prosper and grow. But in reality, they're busily siphoning off our nation's wealth -- and blocking all efforts to regulate or tax their destructive behavior.
Wall Street's class warfare doesn't just target workers. While many top multinational corporate CEOs are in league with the big financiers, most of the medium and small business owners now struggling to find the capital to stay alive have few friends on Wall Street. Workers, supervisors and middle managers alike now live in fear that they'll lose their jobs -- and it's all because of the financial shenanigans on Wall Street. You don't have to be a Marxist to know that we bailed out the very people who wrecked our economy. You'll find precious few defenders of Wall Street anywhere in America.
This new class struggle will soon begin playing out on some new battlefields. The weight of the U.S.'s massive debt (created by the financial crisis and our failure to tax the super-rich the way we used to) will be put on our backs. The financial elites, along with their richly funded think tanks and compliant political hacks, will tell us to privatize Social Security, reduce its benefits and extend the retirement age. We'll be told we must cut funding for schools and health care services. We'll have to live with a crumbling infrastructure and a deteriorating environment -- because, well, the money just isn't there.
But if we call for raising taxes on the super-rich to prevent these dire developments, they'll bring out their paint guns and scream "socialism!" -- and threaten us with more economic catastrophe. Of course, they can fly their private jets over our collapsing infrastructure and send their kids to private schools. And they have no worries about jobs, health care or retirement, since they and their families have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes. Talk about a class struggle!
The Wall Street billionaires utterly refuse to accept any blame for our economic woes. They simply can't believe that their billions came from fatal flaws in our system rather than from their own genius. They'll fight to the end to convince us and themselves that they are indeed God's gift to our economy. (Wouldn't you if you had a billion dollars?)
It's time to make them pay their fair share for the damage they've done. That will help finance the massive jobs programs we need to put our people back to work. Of course, the super-wealthy can afford to pay. Only their pride will suffer.
In truth most of us would prefer to duck this fight. We just want to find a job, or keep the one we have, be with our families and cope with what life throws at us while enjoying as much of it as we can. We don't want to go to war with the richest people in the world, even though we greatly outnumber them. But we can't avoid this battle--it's coming to our doorsteps. The Dow may hit 12,000 but unemployment will haunt us for a decade to come. We can't afford the brutal cuts to retiree benefits, healthcare or education that they're pushing on us.
It will take a lot of time and effort to figure out how to fight back and win. But don't despair. As the old union song suggests, the toughest question always is "Which side are you on?" In the new class struggle, that decision has already been made for us.

Wall Street set to pay out record $144 billion
Says it all.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
Oh yes, coincidentally i read this:
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article23346.html
Quote: ...here is an example of the corrupt, game-playing crap going on with the Federal Reserve and the Treasury: On Wednesday, 9/29/10, the national debt was $13.466 trillion. The next day, 9/30, it goes to $13.561 trillion. Again, "the next day," 10/1, the start of the new federal fiscal year, it rises to $13.610 trillion! This $144 billion is a staggering lot of borrowing that, somehow, happened in Two Freaking Days (TFD)! This is $72 billion per day! This is the government borrowing – per day! – almost $240 for every man, woman and child in the Whole Freaking Country (WFC)!
Quote: Anyway, this $144 billion in additional federal debt, accumulated in Two Freaking Days (TFD), is, annualized at this astounding rate for each of the government's roughly 250 working days per year, an outrageous $18 trillion a year! This incomprehensible sum is about $5 trillion more than the entire GDP of America! And more than half of GDP is already composed of government spending right now! We're Freaking Doomed (WFD)!
At least you can see where this money is coming from in the end...

How to choose fonts for your brand: A not so complicated way to think about type - Natasha Lane Design Co.
When I first started off with graphic design, typography was my biggest weakness. I didn't know how to choose fonts. I made the whole idea very complicated. My teacher even said that I thought about it too much. When I knew what he meant, I felt really dumb.
I'm not going to say typography is easy, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Here is the not so complicated way to think about type.
If you're a straight up beginner, then here is a lesson on the types of type. They also have different classifications/style within each, but we won't go through the history or how each one evolved throughout time. I'm going to talk about the main 4 and try to simplify everything as much as possible.
As I mentioned earlier, serif is best for print and sans-serif is best for the web. Why is this the rule, because of readability. People can read sans-serif better on their computer and serif in a book.
Nothing is set in stone though. When I printed my reports I always liked to choose Arial. Maybe internally I was always biased towards sans-serif since I was young. I'm more attracted to modern, clean styles. Also, I think you could write less and get more pages out of a report using Arial. The point is to experiment but to keep your target audience in mind.
You can pair serif with sans-serif. (The same is true with the other type classifications).
Skinny and fat fonts together.
Tall and short fonts together.
Curvy and straight fonts together.
Wide and condensed fonts together.
If you still can't match fonts together then pick one font family with a lot of family members. For example Helvetica. Below is a screenshot of all the Helvetica options.
You can mix and match the family together to create a well-balanced design because no matter which family member you choose, they all go well together.
When it comes to choosing a font for your brand all you have to think about is matching the mood of the font to your brand. If your brand is modern, maybe you'll look through some sans-serif fonts. If your brand is super feminine then you might try looking through script fonts. The main thing to consider is your audience and brand style.
I mentioned earlier that my favorite typeface is Raleway. I also love Abril Fatface and Playfair display. Which are your favorites?

So now there's nothing left but the seeds. But wait, they could be planted and a new apple tree could grow. And what about the other apples that were picked up from the same tree than the apple in question? And the tree itself?
Also there's the memory of the apple, and it's particles in my digestion. And soon those particles are part of this organism called me.
So let's assume the apple lived.

Panasonic's pink Dalek delivery bot has been cleared for hospital work

Share All sharing options for: Panasonic's pink Dalek delivery bot has been cleared for hospital work
Panasonic's range of Hospi robots are designed to take over drudge work in hospitals — toting around medicine, patients, and performing rote tasks like hair washing. Now, the company's porter bot (the Hospi type R) has been cleared for personal care duties, both in Japan and abroad. Panasonic says it's the first robot in the world to meet this particular combination of safety standards.
Hospi-R is basically a medicine cabinet on wheels, designed to move fragile or bulky medicine and equipment around a hospital. It uses a combination of cameras, Wi-Fi, and preprogrammed maps to navigate around buildings, and is capable of using elevators that have been kitted out with the right hands-free components. (Don't test it on stairs, though.) An ID security card system keeps unauthorized individuals from pilfering its contents, and it moves at a sedate (but not sluggish) one meter a second. Hospi-R has already undergone trials in Singapore, but its new safety certification could see it moving into new territories.

Handpainted signs are very popular right now. Everyone seems to really love adding a rustic and personal touch to their home decor. So today I have a very easy handpainted sign DIY that absolutely anyone can do! You don't need any brush lettering skills in order to create your very own handpainted sign. I've created a printable "Home Sweet Home" stencil that you can print at home. Let's get started!
Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This means that if you purchase something though one of our links, we may earn a commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. Every purchase helps keep Pjs and Paint up and running!
Before we get started I just wanted to point out that if you use the same wood planks that I purchased, this sign will come out very rustic looking. I ordered a pack of 6 and because they are authentic naturally weathered wood planks, they have a rough uneven texture. I think they are just perfect for the rustic farmhouse type style I was going for.
Click here to download the Home Sweet Home printable stencil. You can print this on standard 8.5×11 paper and the words will measure approximately 10 inches wide.
Now, trim the excess paper off and color the entire back of the stencil with chalk. Really make sure the chalk goes on thick and covers the whole area.
Next, flip the stencil back over and position the paper on the wood plank. Hold in place with scotch tape or masking tape.
Take a pen and go over each letter. I filled in each word pretty heavily to make sure the chalk transferred to the wood.
After that, peel back the stencil to make sure you see the words transferred to the wood. If it's not dark enough, you can stick the stencil back down and press a bit harder or add some more chalk.
Now grab some white paint and start painting over the letters. I had my stencil right next to me so I could reference the words while working on it. After the paint dried, I went over it one more time with a second coat, just to make the white a bit brighter.
And that's all there is to it! You can display your sign on a table like I did, or hang it on a wall.
Let me know in the comments if you'd like me to create any other stencils and I can definitely share them in a future post.

Heard this on MSNBC this morning. 5 long years!
AT&T are just gonna bottleneck iPhone development.
it does say that verizon has a response to the iPhone and that it will be coming out in late summer, so it should be interesting to see what they come up with.
It's probably just the LG ke850.
i don't think so. that has already been released and it says that the competing phone will be released in late summer.
sony is in no posistion to be even trying to design a phone after the huge hole they fell through with the PS3.
Really? I heard it wasn't available in the US.
I think the agreement was that Apple couldn't make a CDMA version for five years. That locks out Sprint and Verizon, but might leave the door open for T-Mobile down the road.
well that might be true actually. im not sure if its available in the us, but i know it has been released. it just kind of sounded like verizon was coming out with something completely new. but im not sure.
5 Years? I thought it was 2 years?
They didn't fall into any hole with the PS3. The PS3 is best console of this (gaming) generation. It just doesn't have that many good games right now, because it's still new. Did you know the PS3 sold more consoles in the first 3 months than the 360 did in its first 3 months? Remember the PS2 started off exactly like this with all the same criticism, and it dominated last generation (and still does dominate the gaming market). It's expensive because of how much it can do. But note that many consider it the best blu-ray player, which also happens to be the cheapest blu-ray player at the moment. Once blu-ray dics become more and more common the PS3 will sell better.
I would definitely buy a Sony phone if it used Verizon. I'd love to buy the iPhone, but they're robbing you blind on this contract nonsense, and I can't even get decent Cingular reception where I am.
thats the same position im in. ive got verizon and would like to get an iPhone, but im only 16 and my whole family and all my friends have verizon too, so theres really no point in switching to AT&T. plus, the cost of the whole thing just really isn't worth it to me.
I'm sure Verizon will make you sign a new 2 year as well. There is no escaping contracts. Also, I don't think everyone with the version 1 iPhones are necessarily stuck in a contract. I think if a better iPhone comes out in a year, they will just require us to extend our contracts another 2 years from that date. I doubt the price will be any higher for those currently in iPhone contracts.
Well verizon would also be robbing you blind, but I'd feel much better about it since I can actually get reception with verizon.
I guarantee you that the new iPhone will come out exactly two years from now so that we all have to sign brand new 2 year agreements. Then the third new iPhone will come out 1 year after that (just in time for the 5 year agreement) and will force us all to sign another long term agreement.


We all have our Gio stories: some personal, some public; some good, some bad, some "please don't remind me." Here are mine.
I first encountered him in Viera. He was easy to spot in Viera or West Palm during the spring training drills: just look for the player who is completely out of step with everyone else, or talking when everyone else is following the drill leader. When he finally (on about the 10th try) got a bunt into the practice bucket, he took a bow—to the applause of fans and teammates. Even Matt Williams and his air horn couldn't keep Gio from marching to the beat of his own dyslexic drummer. (In the photo, Gio is off to the left, chatting, while the rest of the pitchers are watching the drill).
Whoever the genius was who put Gio's 2016 spring training locker next to Papelbon's deserves a medal. Dusty was quoted as saying he didn't have to get on Gio's case about doing the drills because Pap would make Gio do a drill over (i.e. covering first) if he didn't do it right. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself: Gio and Pap walking together between the fields in Viera, Pap getting on Gio's case if he wasn't focusing on the task at hand. I risked twisting my ankle running across the old fields at Space Coast Stadium to get a photo of them together.
At West Palm there are real sidewalks so chasing Gio wasn't so difficult. But as always, when he was supposed to go between the fields he was in with the fans, not using the player walkways between the fields. Gio gonna Gio.
Gio is listed at six feet, zero inches. I do not believe that is possible, unless you count cleats and hat.
The last time I spoke with him was at the ZiMS Foundation fundraiser. Everyone was crowding around the players who were in attendance, mostly for selfies. When it was our turn with Gio, he was good-naturedly ready to pose, but we said "No, we want to see photos of your kids." He just lit up, grabbed his and his wife's phones, and showed us the cute photos. I'd rather remember him that way than his 5-inning, 6-run last performance at a National in Philadelphia.
At least he won't be pitching against us in this homestand . . . although I think we'd have a good chance of winning that game because Gio can really get in his own way—and pitching in his long-time home stadium as a visiting player right after a trade would mess with anyone.
Will I miss him? I don't think so: at least not as a pitcher. How many times have we heard Charlie and Dave say "He had him 0 and 2 . . . and he walked him."? Too many. But I'm sure that if Gio does come back at some point as a visiting pitcher, the Nats fans will welcome him. We're not Philly.

Great white shark, research identification photograph. A great white shark is countershaded, with a dark gray dorsal color and light gray to white underside, making it more difficult for the shark's prey to see it as approaches from above or below in the water column. The particular undulations of the countershading line along its side, where gray meets white, is unique to each shark and helps researchers to identify individual sharks in capture-recapture studies. Guadalupe Island is host to a relatively large population of great white sharks who, through a history of video and photographs showing their countershading lines, are the subject of an ongoing study of shark behaviour, migration and population size.

When setting up a data connector for a non-tabular data provider such as SQL Server, you have the option of selecting which native structures will be discovered and appear in the Explore window. For example, the SQL Server database you want to connect to may have hundreds of tables but for your current dashboard project you only need a few of those tables.
In the New Data Connector dialog for SQL Server, scroll down and click Select Structures.
In the Select Data Structures dialog, check off the native structures you want to be discovered and included under the eventual data connector in the Explore window.
Submit the data connector to begin discovery. After this completes, create a new dashboard and go to the Explore window to see your data connector which should list only the structures you selected.
If there are native structures that are being used by downstream elements such as a data cube, those structures will still be discovered and appear under your data connector even if you did not select them for discovery. You can check if a structure is being referenced by right-clicking on it in Explore. Click Properties, and then References.

Russian league's top scorer, Quincy Promes, joins Sevilla
Spartak Moscow's Dutch international attacking midfielder Quincy Promes, the Russian Premier League's top scorer last season, has signed a five-year deal with Spanish high-flyers Sevilla, the club announced Friday.
The 26-year-old Promes was under contract with Spartak until June 2021.
READ ALSO: Trump and May's thumbs down for Nigeria
"Taking into consideration Promes' desire to test his skills in one of the world's strongest leagues and his huge contribution into the red-white club's success, Spartak management accepted the offer of Sevilla," a Spartak statement said.
Reports said the Moscow side will receive around 20 million euros ($23.2 million) for the transfer of the Dutchman.
Promes, who won the Russian title with Spartak in 2017, scored 66 goals in 135 matches with the club.
He notched 15 goals to finish last season the Premier League's top scorer. He was also named Russia's "Player of the Year" in 2017.
Promes has won 28 caps and score five goals with the Dutch national side so far.

I didn't see a dedicated area for VMS questions so im just going to ask here if that's ok.
The Zen Tour like most modern interfaces has some pretty good mic pre's built in.
Should i go ahead and use the preamp that comes with the VMS first in the chain or just skip it and plug the mic straight into the Zen Tour mic pre? I understand i could do it either way but what do you think would be best? And if i used the VMS preamp ... why, and what would be the set up. Just one of the reason i ask is they both have the +48v? Leave one off?
The other question i have is the Zen Tour is Thunderbolt with a capacity of 32 tracks. Can the Raven be set for this or is 24 the max?
Seems i remember reading something about the Raven and 24 tracks?
You will need to use the VMS pre amp, as this is part of the baseline sound that the algorithm expects.
After the mic pre, plug it directly into the Line Input of the interface, turn off +48v.
You should check out the Slate Digital Facebook group, since this forum is mostly for Raven and Batch Commander.
Cool thanks for the reply.
The other question i had is the Zen Tour is Thunderbolt with a capacity of 32 tracks. Can the Raven be set up for this or is 24 the max?
If its a go for 32... Is there a setting somewhere i need to have activated?
24 is the HUI limitation, so Raven will be stuck at 24 tracks for a while. The last 8 of HUI are none to be troublesome.
So Jamey, what does that really mean? Surely Raven can scroll through more than 24 tracks, no?
yes, you can scroll through hundreds of tracks, but can only view 24 at a time.


The annual LCCHS Homecoming parade through downtown Barnesville Thursday drew throngs of fans.
The undefeated Trojans take on Crawford County Friday night at Trojan Field in the annual homecoming game. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
Dang, I thought the parade was tomorrow as well. We did have fun at the high school today with my daughter's class when they had a cookout and fun for homecoming. We will see you at the game!
Does anyone know if we can still purchase advance tickets at the discounted rate at Slices Pizza?
