Wooster Elementary School in the Greenbrier School District is a shining example of sustainability. It is the recycling center for the community and a learning environment for its students and parents on green building. As the first school in Arkansas to achieve a LEED® for Schools Silver certification, Wooster educates while enjoying lower operating costs through energy efficiency. Seeking LEED certification, Jackson Brown King Architects designed learning spaces with cutting-edge technology to lower energy costs. A combination of imprinted concrete and Grasscrete was chosen for the exterior walkways and play area. The Grasscrete is used to soften the space with grass and still allow for heavy foot traffic. Bomanite Licensee, Bomanite of Tulsa installed several thousand feet of Imprinted concrete with the Bomacron Coquina Texture, alternating with blocks of Grasscrete. The voids were filled with grass plugs.
Grasscrete attributes to LEED credits through reduction of Heat Islands, Water Effecient Landscaping and Stormwater Management. The Bomanite Imprinted Concrete uses Coquina Color Hardener that has an Albedo or Solar Reflectance of 0.5 – 0.6, falling within the LEED rated projects requiring an Albedo of >0.3 of surfaces requiring adequate Solar Reflectance.
Wooster Elementary School, completed in September 2008, demonstrates Greenbrier’s commitment to provide an environment for its students to become life-long learners with an emphasis on green living.

"Sequacious" is formed from the Latin "sequac-," or "sequax" (which means "inclined to follow" and comes from "sequi," "to follow") and the English "-ious." The original and now archaic meaning of "sequacious" was "inclined to follow" or "subservient." Although that meaning might as easily describe someone who willingly dropped into line behind a war leader, or who was unusually compliant or obedient in any sense, the concept gradually narrowed into the image of someone who blindly adopts ideas without much thought. Labeling a person "sequacious" is not very complimentary, and implies a slavish willingness to adopt a thought or opinion.

Each Purpose Stash box has a specific theme. The first box I will be sharing with you honestly had one of my favorite themes. The theme was Love and purpose.
Each box features a book, some inspiring jewelry, scent melts and bath goodies to pamper the buyer. Who doesn’t love reading a good book in the bath while using some fun scented bath bombs? I know I talk to God most when I am in the shower. No joke, the amount of times Joe walks into the bathroom to ask who I am talking to is… A LOT.
The book I received in my first box was Yes, I Am Enough by Tanya White. As a mom, an influencer, and a pastor I often deal with the questions, Am I good enough? This book has helped me see God’s truths in my life and has helped show me that God loves me exactly where and but He will also love me as I grow into the mom, influencer, and pastor that He has called me to become.
The bath goodies and scents for this box featured sweet decadent mixes of vanilla and chocolate and included a bracelet with 1 Corinthians 13:1-10, what is commonly known as the love chapter.
My overall thoughts on my first box from Purpose Stash are that this is a box that Christian women should look into purchasing if they want to have a self care night and fun resources to use to grow in their relationship with Christ. A monthly subscription to Purpose Stash is less that $50 a month and the impact will last a lifetime. If the price of the monthly box is too much then you can purchase a preview box for $29.99 and still receive something that will change your life! There are also other subscription plans available on PurposeStash.com! Use the code BROCK to get 30% any Monthly subscription or higher (code not eligible for preview boxes).

Carl trained with The Elijah Challenge in 2006, and served as a missionary and Senior Pastor of Baguio International Church in the Philippines until 2011.
…Sometimes when we are going to heal people I know before hand which people will heal quickly and easily and which are the few who will not be healed.
I don’t know how I know this; whether it is a word from the Lord or what, but sometimes even before a person tells us what their injury or ailment is, I know they will be healed very easily. Other times I almost dread the process because I know certain people will not be healed. I don’t know how I know this but I do know it! Not always but fairly often. I get a very strong impression and I am rarely wrong.
Perhaps it is like the Apostle Paul in Lystra where Acts 14:8-10, In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
Perhaps somehow their spirit or faith testifies to mine (somehow), either way, like the Apostle Paul, I can see they “have faith” or will heal quickly. I don’t claim I understand this but it happens enough that I sometimes know it before it occurs. It happens enough that I can often pick those who are going to be healed easily and I always heal them first (if I can organize the way they are coming to us, etc.) Perhaps it is something I have learned from experience,… I don’t know…? This happened in Thailand you can read the report on the website (www.m-o-r.net). Sometimes I have no impression at all but others times I am absolutely sure.
One time a new woman came to one of our Seed Churches and somehow I knew she needed to be healed and would be healed that night. I could not see anything that was wrong with her. In fact, she set next to me around a table and I looked for symptoms and except that she moved a little slow, I could not see that anything that was wrong with her. Later at prayer time, she asked for prayer about nerve damage which has caused her continuous and severe pain in her shoulders, arms and hands for the previous 3 years. After we prayed for all the prayer needs of the group; I told her “the Lord wants to heal you right now.” I asked “could we call out to God for you and lay hands on you.” She agreed and somehow I already knew the source of the pain was her neck and back not the hands or arms where she was experiencing the painful symptoms. She was instantly healed in Jesus name. My wife, another woman, and the woman who was healed all felt the joints and vertebrae in her neck and back moving as we took authority. They said “they felt movement and heard cracking sounds.” The woman broke into tears of joy over her healing, rejoiced and gave God the glory! It was amazing! The point is I knew all this without her telling us or describing the problem which was from a car wreck three years before. I don’t know how to explain this other than it was from GOD.
On another occasion I was so sure a woman was going to be healed I told one of our Filipino evangelist to “Go heal that woman!” (she had a broken scapula – shoulder blade). He walked through the crowd and I indicated to him which woman I meant. He pointed to her and I commanded him “heal her!” He put his hand on her shoulder and tentatively said “in Jesus name be healed.” Then he jumped back when he felt something moving under her skin and her head jerked forward a few inches and she began to rejoice weep for joy at her healing. She raised her arms and showed how she was healed and had ful mobility back again. On this occasion, out of a whole crowd I just felt drawn to pick her out for healing, because I knew she would be healed easily and quickly. That night a total of 34 people were healed but she was one of the first.
In fact some keep saying our ministry has turned into an “apostolic ministry” or has an “apostolic anointing” because of all the healings and churches being planted with over 50 new churches in 5 months.However, we believe we are merely obeying Jesus by healing the sick (with The Elijah Challenge), calling sinners to repentances (with Way of the Master), and planting churches according to the New Testament model, which we observe in the Gospels (especially Luke 9 and 10) and the book of Acts.
I have discussed this with William before but we have not had time to reach a conclusion or he has not had time to share his thoughts with me yet.
I have come to realize that if my faith is strong, my life is clean, and I am walking in repentance then it is the sovereignty of God at work. We have also been pleasantly surprised to find the people we thought were not healed were partially healed or became progressively healed over the next few days, weeks or months. They still pointed to our healing them as the sources and they still gave God the glory.
For instance, I just heard another report tonight from one of our Filipino missionary/evangelist, about a 19 yr. old girl who had bad epileptic seizures from a head injury as a child. She used to have three or more seizures a week some lasting for more than an hour. After we took authority (with TEC) it dropped down to one seizure a week for the next month, and now she has had only one seizure a month for the last three months and is expecting them all to go away as she continues to serve God. She wants to be an evangelist now. When she had her first seizure after our healing her, I felt terrible. Yet, she is giving God the glory and telling everyone what God has done for her. She has not been in the hospital for over three months. She is still having one small (2-4 minute) seizure a month instead of the hour long seizures she had before, which left her too exhausted to walk, sit up, or feed herself. What I saw as a failure she sees as a miracle. Praise the Lord!
I have shared the amazing good of The Elijah Challenge, now you can hear the other aspects of it. I can’t remember every person healed (we are well into the hundreds now) but I can remember nearly all of those who were not healed (not just because their numbers are so much smaller) but because of the impact it has made on me. I have learned the secret is to stay focused on Christ or it could become a stumbling block to me. You can expect 8 or 9 out of every 10 people to be healed using The Elijah Challenge (TEC). If they have faith in God the number could go higher! We have had occasions when we went for weeks with everyone being healed.
Well enough of this for now. I will obey Christ no matter the cost! Remember we obey Him because He is worthy not because we are entitled to see the results. That goes for people repenting, being healed, or delivered from demons.
Changing the subject, we had 170 people at our WOTM seminar yesterday! Praise the Lord!
Concerning miracles, we do not have sinners heal the sick but we make sure lots of sinners are present to see it occur because it is the power of God that converts sinners. Conversion is not a knowledge based process it is a revelation of God after the preaching of the gospel.
When sinners see the sick, lame, deaf and dumb, crippled, and those suffering from deadly Malaria and Dengue fever healed, it opens their eyes to the fact Jesus is real. I tell them “you may not be converted but you can never walk away and say that Jesus is not real.” Those who come to faith because they have seen the power of God in Jesus name heal the sick and cast out the demons are strong believers from the first day. We want people’s faith to rest in God’s power not in the wisdom of men or my ability to dazzle them with doctrine.
Our new converts are taught to do this and they have no trouble at all believing God will heal because they have seen family members sick for weeks and near death healed in Jesus name. Not every time but about 9 out of 10 times people are healed.
We had one 86 year old unbelieving woman with breast cancer and no way to treat it (she had no money for medical treatment). When we took authority over the huge breast tumor it softened, in Jesus name and stopped hurting, we took authority again and the cancer dissolved which was confirmed with several pastors’ wives checking before and during the process. The old woman wept for joy and repented, put her faith and trust in Jesus and confessed His name as Lord. Her whole countance changed and she looked 10 years younger. She was an obedient disciple and the next day God used her to heal two other people who were brought to us so we could preach the law, repentance, and grace too them. Both repented and are still serving Christ one year later.
My question to believers is, … when will they obey Jesus, and heal the sick, cast out the demons, and preach repentance and the Kingdom of God to the lost?
In fact, when will we Christians begin to obey Jesus’ commands and expectations?

While virtual Exchange deployments are common, the five mistakes detailed here are just as prevalent. Avoid them to achieve optimal performance.
There's a wealth of helpful information available to help admins make any instance of virtualized Exchange a happy one. However, many deployments run into the same problems: poor performance, service outages, unpleasant user experiences and even data loss. Here are five common mistakes many admins make when creating a virtual Exchange deployment.
Not having the right hypervisor tool version installed.
Not disabling time sync with the hypervisor host.
Not enough RAM or using dynamic RAM.
Not configuring resource reservations on an overcrowded host.
Consolidating too many roles, making the VM too big for the host.
Not consolidating enough roles, making too many VMs.
Leaving the page file set to defaults on a slow VHD.
Keep a close eye on your vCPU configurations. Many hosts -- especially those running earlier hypervisor versions -- will experience performance problems if any VM has more vCPUs than the physical number of cores on each processor.
Microsoft and hypervisor vendor best practice guides are clear; using file level storage for virtual Exchange Server data is not supported.
Sure, VMware has a performance paper that shows Exchange using virtual machine disk files (VMDKs) on a network file system (NFS) data store, but even that paper says it is not a guide for deployment and was only done to show the improvements in NFS throughput -- end of story.
This does not mean you cannot use VMDKs or virtual hard disks (VHDs) for Exchange VMs. That said, you may not want to use them in the first place, because they add a small amount of I/O overhead. If you do, make sure that the files are on volumes attached to the virtualization host via a block-level protocol such as SAS, SATA, SCSI, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel.
Remember, NFS and SMB/CIFS are not supported. Exchange does a lot of careful manipulation when it comes to file and metadata writes and reads. This is to ensure minimal data loss and optimal performance. A block-level protocol with proper write caching ensures that these steps work as designed.
With Exchange 2013, Microsoft now supports using Server Message Block 3.0 (SMB 3.0) with the hypervisor to store VM virtual hard drives that store Exchange data. The caveat here is that they must be fixed-length (full-size) hard drives, not expanding. You cannot use SMB 3.0 to mount file shares for Exchange data within the VM.
File-level protocols cannot make the proper assurances. Problems become catastrophes because file-level protocols unwittingly sabotaged Exchange's safety measures.
They use the wrong virtual network adapter. This is usually because the default VM build process requires specific properties that are only present in the legacy or compatibility interface.
They assign the client and replication networks to the same virtual switch and host interface as each other, the host-storage interface or the host-management interfaces. Even on a low-traffic DAG member, this mistake can cause intermittent and untraceable cluster heartbeat instability.
The moral here is simple -- pay attention. Use the right type of interface for best performance and stability, and make sure to separate your client and replication networks using multiple host interfaces and virtual switches.
When Exchange Server roles exist on separate VMs, there is a risk for data loss if the VMs are on the same host. When a DAG member goes down and log files are missing, the activating DAG member tries to restore the data from the transport dumpsters on the hub transport servers. If the key hub transport server was on the same host, data is lost and the database will not fail over.
The easiest way to avoid this mistake is to deploy multi-role (think mailbox, CAS and hub transport) Exchange VMs. The caveat here is that doing so drives up VM resource requirements. Therefore, many admins are skeptical at the prospect of doing so.
VM snapshots are a compelling and easy backup story. However, they're also a great way to destroy Exchange data, not to mention the fact that they're not supported.
The memory state is restored, but is not consistent with Active Directory or the rest of the organization.
The data is inconsistent and must be checked at best or is lost. This requires database reseeds for all copies.
If all the DAG members must be restored, there is no consistent data copy.
In the long run, VM snapshots end up creating more work than they save.
Devin Ganger is a messaging architect and technical writer with more than 15 years of experience in administering messaging systems and Windows, Unix and TCP/IP networks. Today, he works primarily with Exchange Server, Windows Active Directory and related Microsoft and third-party technologies. Ganger was recognized as a Microsoft MVP for Exchange Server from 2007 to 2011.
What do you use to virtualize Exchange?
Its best with New features of Hyper-V , specially in Windows 2013.

When we are talking about Indian food it is the number of spices which are used to make a perfect dish. It is both whole and ground which are used to create the perfect combination of mixed spices.
Most of the spices, with some of the exceptions like nutmeg which are dry roasted before its essential oils are released. Other spices can be blended with the help of a mortar and pestle and apart from that other spices can be blended from a grinder.
There are two types of cardamom which are used. First is the green and the second one is the black. The most commonly used is green as it is used in lassis as well as desserts when the spices are mixed. Green Cardamom can completely blend wholly with different garam masalas, however when used in sweets and deserts the pod would be popped open and lightly crush the fragrant black seeds.
Black Cardamom, on the other hand, it is the seeds which are used which essentially are powerful and smoky when used.
It is the most common spice which is used in cooking and its anise notes are easily recognizable in the Indian cooking. Cloves are technically flowers and after they are pressed all of their oils are released and then dried, before putting them into cooking.
Black pepper is that Indian spice which is native as it is primarily belonging to the Western Ghats. It is a very hard spice to grow as it requires the proper amount of rainfall to be there and that is why the prices of black pepper vary a lot.
Coriander is the most renowned spices which have been there since a very long time. It is characterized by its golden yellow color and the gently ridged texture. The seeds are very aromatic with these citrus notes.
Mustard seeds can be yellow, black or brown and can be interchangeably used while cooking. The flavor of mustards seeds is released while cooking.

This week was the first week of classes, and also the first week of rehearsals. The jazz fusion group my friends and I began at Berklee, the ElaB NayR Sextet, met twice this week, and let me tell you: we are killing it. Our very first show will be in Berk Recital Hall at Berklee College of Music on Friday, Sep. 30th at 4:00pm.
We've nailed down our set list, planned our stage plot, bought our concert attire, and brought a new bassist on board: Jake Adams. He's a real funky cat, and a perfect fit for our group. All we need now are a few more weeks of memorization and we're ready to rock the socks off anyone willing to come listen to our free concert debut! Audio recordings of the show will to come to my SoundCloud afterwards, so fear not if you cannot make it.
Also, I put in an application for a cafeteria show in mid October, so you will have another chance to come hear some of the finest Berklee has to offer! Thank you for the support, and check my SoundCloud for a new recording this weekend!

As moguls and writers fight over the spoils from DVD and digital-download revenue and celebrities on both coasts pound the pavement in solidarity with the scribes, there’s an unintended casualty in the Great Hollywood War of 2007: independent filmmaking.
Since actors are in such high demand, they’re also dropping out of projects for better-paying gigs and jacking up their fees. “There’s an actor I know who is getting a threefold raise just because he’s the only comedy guy left,” says entertainment attorney and producer John Sloss, who notes that all of his directing clients—from Richard Linklater to Kevin Smith—are working feverishly now in case there’s an actors’ strike.
Strike jitters have also forced cash-strapped indie producers to fork over more money for scripts and stars in a shorter time span than usual. “It puts you into a position of optioning something even if there’s just a 5 percent chance of making the film,” says one.
As dire as an extended strike may be, some indie players are searching for silver linings. Entertainment attorney Andrew Hurwitz, for example, says several of the major pre-strike studio projects could collapse because their scripts, written by WGA members, are not as polished as they need to be. “It’s unusual for a script to be totally locked,” he says. Without the chance for rewrites, the projects may be abandoned and the actors freed up for indie films ready to go with scripts written by non-WGA members.
Producer Anthony Bregman, who recently wrapped production on Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York, agrees. “It was really difficult a month ago, but now it feels like a lot of those [studio] projects have fallen apart,” he says.

X-Men Legends had a good run as an Action RPG, but what about those of us who like our superheroes with a little less social outcast to them? Activision is embracing the entire Marvel universe with Ultimate Alliance, and allowed us to embrace every next-gen version at a recent hands-on event in Santa Monica, CA.
The cast is a veritable who's-who of the heroic elite (in the Marvel universe, anyhow). We were able to formulate our team from the following icons: Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Iceman, Wolverine, Silver Surfer, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, and the entire Fantastic Four quartet. That's not even counting the several hidden characters whose identities are currently a mystery.
Of course, a group with that much star power must have come together for a reason. That reason is the Masters of Evil. Headed by Dr. Doom, these guys have no end of twisted desires that will come to fruition unless good prevails - which you know it will, provided you've done ample leveling-up along the way.
Speaking of leveling-up, Ultimate Alliance flips X-Men Legends' script just a bit. The character screen has four sections: powers, outfits, gear, and stats. Powers are like the mutant abilities in Legends, as you can unlock new skills and upgrade the ones you have. Outfits not only allows you to wear various costumes (Wolverine starts with simple jean/t-shirt combo, for example), but is also the place to boost health and other normal attributes. Gear is where you put on peripheral swag like bracelets of bad-assitude and the like. Meanwhile, the stats page seems like a simple readout of where your hero is in relation to his/her potential.

A federal judge in California has struck down the state’s death penalty, ruling that the “arbitrariness” and “unpredictability” with which it is carried out violates the constitution’s ban on “cruel and unusual” punishment.
U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney in Santa Ana, Calif., on Wednesday threw out the death sentence of Ernest Dewayne Jones, who was put on death row by the state in April 1995.
The decision will likely not lead to any immediate changes in regard to the death penalty in California, where no one has been executed since 2006.
But if the state appeals, the issue of whether, and when, problems with a state’s death penalty system can render it unconstitutional will be put squarely in front of a federal appeals court in San Francisco. A ruling from that court – the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — supporting Judge Carney’s could dramatically change the death-penalty landscape throughout much of the western United States.
The judge highlighted a host of statistics concerning capital punishment in the state, including that only 13 of the 900 people sentenced to die since 1978 have been executed.
“The federal judiciary has recognized what all persons who have studied the California system have determined: It is arbitrary and capricious, and violates the United States Constitution,” said Mr. Jones’s lawyer, Michael Laurence, in a statement.
For years, critics of the death penalty in California have argued that the system in the state, which often involves numerous appeals and lengthy waits for qualified, court-appointed lawyers, is woefully inefficient.
For instance, a 2011 study co-authored by Arthur Alarcón, a judge on the Ninth Circuit, found California had spent more than $4 billion on capital punishment since it was reinstated in 1978—about $308 million for each of the 13 executions since then.
Thirty-two states currently retain the power to sentence inmates to death. But in recent years capital punishment has faced a host of challenges, from the growing number of exonerations of convicts—often because of new DNA evidence—to shortages of drugs used in lethal injections.
Since 2007, the death penalty has been abolished in six states—Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York.

It is an astonishing Summer Exhibition 2011 at the Royal Academy opening the 7th June until the 15th August 2011. This event is at its 243rd edition. It is also the world’s largest open submission contemporary art show. The Summer Exhibition always raises a sort of traditional debate, probably ongoing since the show itself.The Summer Exhibition 2011 carries on the tradition of displaying works by both emerging and established artists in all media including painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, architecture and film. One of the founding principles of the Royal Academy was to ‘mount an annual exhibition open to all artists of distinguished merit’ to finance the Royal Academy Schools. This has been held every year without interruption since 1769 and continues to play a significant part in raising funds to finance the students. The Royal Academy receives no public funding. By submitting works, visiting and through purchases at the Summer Exhibition people can contribute to support artists of the future.
The Summer Exhibition 2011 faced a great number of applications with over 12,000 entries, arrived from 27 countries all over the world of which the selection on display is of 1,031 pieces. The majority of works are for sale.
The spaces in the Royal Academy have a new approach to a traditional “salon hang”, counting a mix of open submission works as well as artworks by Royal Academicians.
This year’s co-ordinator is RA Christopher Le Brun. This edition is organised in fifteen rooms, each one in an open contrast, or completely disconnected, from the followings. Each room has a dedicated curator or more. ‘Coloring Book’ (2011) by Jeff Koons opens the show, occupying the Annenberg Courtyard. The Wohl Central Hall, arranged by Michael Craig -Martin, welcomes visitors with notably photography. Room I and II celebrate stylistic diversity according to Chris Orr who arranged them. The Small Weston Room and the Room VII are arranged by Olwyn Bowey and are prevailed by landscapes, still- life and unpopulated interiors. The Large Weston Room displays the pain of the war, hung by Stephen Farthing. Painted in warm dark grey Room III is hung by Christopher Le Brun and Tony Bevan. Sadness is the subject of Room IV, arranged by John Wragg. Room V is “only for people who are sensitive, intelligent and thoughtful” organiser Tess Jaray said. Architecture is in Room VI, coordinated by Piers Gough and Alan Stanton. Room VIII is arranged by Michael Sandle who is keen to ‘war’ its main interest. Room IX is hung by Christopher Le Brun, Tony Bevan and Stephen Farthing. Arranged by Maurice Cockrill, Room X explores abstraction and social commentary. The Lecture Room, the last one arranged by Michael Craig -Martin, is a space dedicated to major Royal Academicians. The exhibition is sponsored by Insight Investment.
A Memorial of Ben Levene (1938 – 2010), a small selection of his works, is on display.The Royal Academy of Arts Charles Wollaston awards each year artists for a total of £70,000 prize money.

Thought provoking. Controversial. Presidential Puppetry is sure to raise lots of eye-brows. One of those books that inspires readers to look deep beneath the surface.
'Presidential Puppetry: Obama, Romney and Their Masters' is strongly recommended for every U.S. citizen who voted on November 6th.
- Cyril H. Wecht, M.D., J.D.
His official bio omits youthful national security connections...Irregularities enable GOP opposition researchers to smear him with distortions because he cannot fight back...His first serious love affair was with the daughter of the leader of Australia’s version of our National Security Council…”Community organizing” was a stepping-stone…Groomed as future leader…Ratified many Bush policies, let Democrats take the heat for results...Prevailed in 2012 even though he had become dispensable to many on Wall Street…Top GOP strategists knew his true past…Petraeus scandal was much worse than public knows, and a wake-up call for the White House...Plays word games in denying the massive, Bush-era domestic spy program that intercepts and saves for potential retrieval almost all electronic communications of Americans....Pleases puppet masters with plans to ramp up secret war against Syria at vast expense....Hides real story of Benghazi....Provides rhetoric but little else against Wall Street's austerity agenda for America.
Elected to Senate as anti-war candidate in 1972…Re-elected with large margins in corporate-friendly Delaware…Now nation’s most senior, VIP elected official…Unsuccessful in landmark Senate positions, opposing Clarence Thomas and Iraq War...Still tarnished by 1988 plagiarism incident, which was just a slip-up and political smear...Picked as VP to balance Obama’s tenuous image with whites, especially men...In 2007, opposed Bush plan to bomb Iran as unconstitutional and threatened impeachment...In 2013, counsels Obama as administration advocates bombing Syria.
Mormon religion was key to candidacy and policy switches…Church founder Joseph Smith had been assassinated in 1844 during U.S. Presidency race under platform of Mormon theocracy…Former “Bishop Romney” was groomed for top post…Romney track record of money-making heavily favored cronies, insiders…Fellow Bain leader’s father ran and looted Howard Hughes empire…Relied on Bush neo-con foreign policy and domestic surveillance team…Sought austerity regime for “47 %,” and tax cuts for rich…Bain cronies invested heavily in electronic voting machines…Karl Rove implicated in prospective 2012 electronic voting schemes…Election day planning suspected of replicating Ohio 2004 and Florida 2000 voting schemes...Planning to remain a force in politics helping Republicans to victory in 2014 elections.
Wisconsin congressman…Architect of massive austerity cuts for lower and middle classes, old and sick…Offered “trust me” budget-cut plans…Caught lying about his marathon and mountain climbing exploits…Failed to disclose $1.6 million inheritance…Slept on House office cot to avoid DC rent…Leader in government-ordered restrictions on women’s reproductive health options…Anti-government rhetoric...Has enjoyed taxpayer-paid job and benefits for almost his entire career…Brother worked at Bain, won Massachusetts contract from Romney…Steers funds to cronies...Reappointed House Budget chair to impose austerity on public in 2013...Flip-flops on Syrian civil war policy, first seeking a muscular response and then putting onus on Obama to prove bombing would help America's security.
This is one of the most serious, detailed public interest books I have ever read, and I do read quite a bit.
I am in Afghanistan, with very little time to myself, and regret I have not been able to sit down with this book and give it the double read that it merits. As with any book that I consider a potential blockbuster, I started with the index, notes, and bibliography. All three are deep. This book is both a citizen's primer, and a reference work that will stand the test of time in helping future generations of students. It is a starting point for truth in the public interest.
I am one of those very few non-fiction reviewers that is also a former CIA clandestine case officer and a career intelligence officer. My reviews of over 300 books on intelligence are easily found (each review leading back to their Amazon home page) are easily found by searching for < Worth a Look: Book Reviews on Intelligence (Most)> without the brackets.
Imagine my astonishment, then, when I get through the first part of the book and discover that Obama may be CIA's second wholly-owned president. Obama's parents appear clearly documented as non-official cover CIA officers (officers spy, agents are the people they recruit) responsible for spotting, assessing, and recruiting among the Islamic up and comers. This section alone makes this book priceless.
Now in fairness to Obama, it must be said that George Bush (Papa) is now known to have been a CIA non-official cover officer present in Dallas and probably also directly responsible for supervising the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I do not write such opinions lightly. See among many other references here at Amazon, Dark Legacy and JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters. I would also observe that every President since JFK has been a puppet. The assassination of JFK by a mix of New York bankers, Texas energy and military wealth, and their "agents" in the FBI and CIA set the stage for every president thereafter to be a house pet, choosing between the gold certificates if they were good (Papa Bush and Clinton being a prime example), very little if they were neutral (Carter, Bush Junior), and death (none needed so far).
A very helpful book in understanding where CIA got its off-the-books money controlled by Treasury (i.e. Wall Street) is by my friends Sterling and Peggy Seagraves, Gold Warriors: America's Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold. CIA imported the Nazi hydra (that in turn corrupted major slices of the US military), and funded the resurrection of fascists in Japan, Italy, and Germany, as well as collaborative corrupt dictators all over the planet. Please understand that I care deeply about the craft of intelligence and hope one day to see the CIA restored as a reliable provider of decision support to the President and all others. My article in CounterPunch is easily found online, "Intelligence for the President -- AND Everyone Else."
I have gone on at length above because my intent is to firmly support the author's credibility. He offers facts and extended opinions that loosely-educated and poorly-read individuals will be quick to label "off the wall." NOT SO. This book across 22 chapters, does what books -- and investigative journalists -- are supposed to do. It connects dots to dots, dots to the readers, and God willing, one day, readers to readers in a non-violent revolution to restore the Constitution and the Republic.
Each of the subsequent chapters shocks me and teaches me. I never have thought I knew it all, but I had thought I was well-informed and this book shakes that understanding. With all my reading, I am at perhaps 20% of what can be known legally and ethically. This book is shocking across every single chapter, and all the more valuable because it not only skewers Obama and Bush and their associates, but also does a fine job on Mitt Romeny and the Mormon criminal empire that some suspect is also a drug cartel on the side.
"If we wish to change events there is no better place to start than to change our own reaction to them, to declare that a politics lacking justice, equity, decency, and compassion is no longer acceptable. Economics, efficiency, perception, and brutish power calculations no longer suffice. The bottom line has bottomed out. The most radical act of individualism in which one can engage today is to come together with other individuals - as church, neighborhood, city and organization -- in order to uncover the biggest secret our leaders keep from us -- that we are not alone."
Bravo. ELECTORAL REFORM is the one thing that we can all come together on. I tried to explain this to Occupy in my now famous viral video (see also my video at Gnomedex), but Occupy was at the time a mob incapable of decisive action. We can still Occupy the HOME OFFICES of Senators and Representatives, and I continue to believe that we can force an Electoral Reform Act in time for 2016, one mandating that all eight parties (in addition to the two wings of tyranny, Democratic and Republican, the Green, Libertarian, Natural Law, Reform, and Socialist parties) be included on every state ballot for every federal office.
I have faith in America the Beautiful, and in the average citizen. I have lost faith in all of our institutions including churches, labor unions, the media, and universities. I pray that this book will in some manner inspire others to recognize that our government -- good people trapped in a bad system -- is rotten to the core and must be legally and peacefully abolished. We need a clean sheet fresh start with two words: ENOUGH -- and INTEGRITY.
God Bless America -- and may God restore the goodness that was envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
Presidential Puppetry is the dark political realism of power politics lurking in shadows away from mainstream media attention or public scrutiny. It is "real politik" under abusive forms of control fraud and succession planning coordinated and plotted by power consolidation and concentration that is taking over American Democracy. Andrew Kreig has produced a virtual encyclopedia of disclosures based upon his articulated exposure of this systemic institutionalized political capture, and shows it as deeply entrenched in our own "intelligence community" and capital structures. A culture of corruption and political deception has emerged on a global scale since the cold war and the new Trojan Horse is centered right inside the Gates of Washington DC.,... Indeed, it has been brought into the White House itself. This is current events from deep levels of deception and power, and Mr. Kreig does a good job presenting the materials professionally and credibly.
I recently finished re-reading Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914, concerning the Western world in the 25 years prior to World War I; it is a book I first read some 40 years ago, and it remains an excellent historical account of that period. I followed that re-read of Tuchman with Andrew Kreig's "Presidential Puppetry." One of the "takeaways" from that juxtaposition of reading choices was realizing that, thanks to Tuchman, I knew far more about the "Dreyfus Affair," an event that rocked France for most of the 1890's that I did about the background of the two major candidates in the last American presidential election. How can that be? It is the era of the 24/7 "news cycle," and I routinely read major main stream media publications like the "New York Times" and the "Washington Post" as well as significant internet-based news sources. Isn't that sufficient to have a basic understanding of the backgrounds of Obama and Romney? Apparently not. Kreig informs the reader that such knowledge "lacuna" is routine, even among reporters, and specifically relates an anecdote with Clare Nader, sister of Ralph.
Andy Kreig participated in two press conferences at the National Press Club the week preceding presidential election 2012. He was a moderator of the October 24, 2012, conference laying out the entire electronic vote rigging empire of Karl Rove. And, he was one of two members of the national press who participated in a press conference the day preceding the election in which the filing litigation in Ohio against ES&S and the Ohio Secretary of State was reported from Columbus. Clearly, Andy Kreig functions at the cutting edge of the recurring problem the United States has with the integrity of its elections.
However, Andy Kreig does more than rehash recent news. In this important work Kreig provides readers with background for the hidden dynamics of the current electoral and political scene. As his title suggests "presidential puppetry" addresses the way that intelligence operatives, perhaps most prominently CIA, groom candidates for major political offices in the United States. According to Kreig this grooming includes helping to gain access to education on favorable terms and providing assistance with the exposure of the scandal of their political competitors.
Kreig does not discuss much about whether Pres. Obama functions with a gun to his head - the stick used to influence foreign leaders, according to John Perkins in "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." Rather, he focuses on the carrots and the assists that have been given to Barack Obama over the course of his rapid rise in the political hierarchy of American politics.
Andrew Kreig has produced a must-read. He was for many years a celebrated reporter for the Hartford Courant and author of Spiked. He went on to lead with distinction the Wireless Communications Association and the Justice Integrity Project. These efforts help provide the intimate knowledge of the Washington, national, and global affairs required for such ambitious reporting.
This is one of the most serious, detailed public interest books I have ever read, and I do read quite a bit. This book is both a citizen's primer, and a reference work that will stand the test of time in helping future generations of students. It is a starting point for truth in the public interest. This book across 22 chapters, does what books -- and investigative journalists -- are supposed to do. It connects dots to dots, dots to the readers, and God willing, one day, readers to readers in a non-violent revolution to restore the Constitution and the Republic.
Presidential Puppetry reveals Washington's inside story. The big news organizations stopped fighting for the public Jack-Anderson-style, and it's high-time for the public to know it. Four decades ago, I described shocking abuses of the troops and taxpayers when I went on-the-record with Jack Anderson following my resignation from CIA service in Indochina during the Vietnam era. The situation is far worse now.
A look behind the scenes in an uncompromising account of U.S. presidential politics. It’s a must-read for international readers.
In Presidential Puppetry, Kreig sifts through the sugar-coated lies that make today's politicians palatable. He then exposes the hard, bitter truths. He offers rare, must-read insight into the background of those vying to lead the free world. Hang on. The truth is disturbing. But it has to be told.
One of the main reasons that the population of investigative reporters has not become extinct in Washington is because of the continued existence of Andrew Kreig. Most of the rest of the media population has undergone a subtle but systematic information terror campaign orchestrated by avaricious oligarchs that has hunted them down and expelled them from the media territory. All of us interested in the truth should be thankful that Andy's talents continue to ensure that darkness of media manipulation is not the only characteristic that envelopes the issues in Washington and the world.
As I read key portions of Andrew Kreig's book I had the feeling that its insights could make good leaders better, and could give bad ones serious concern that their ongoing injustices have been exposed in a way that demands remedial public action.
Buy and read this book. You'll learn a lot more than you could have imagined, and you'll start seeing the world, politics, and the justice system in a very different, clearer, smarter way. This book exposes the puppet masters who pull the strings of leading officials in both major U.S. parties, including Obama and Romney. Its entertaining, cutting-edge reporting provides the kind of information that we in the independent press believe vital to informed decision-making.
As a publisher of Andrew Kreig's work, I confess to looking forward to publishing Andrew's postings, because he is an investigative journalist combined with constitutional scholarship extraordinaire. This book takes his investigations to the next level, connecting the dots to unveil a big picture that is startling yet not surprising at all. The book goes into great depth, showing the connections behind the candidates. For example, I’ve written that Mitt Romney should be regarded as “Bishop Romney” because his experience in that LDS post is longer and more relevant to voters than his single term as governor. Kreig's book amplifies that theme into a full historical context found nowhere else regarding Bishop Romney and his ascendancy within the revamped, tea party-oriented GOP. The book applies similar treatment to President Obama and many more U.S leaders.
From 1996 to 2008, he was President/CEO of the Wireless Communications Association in its worldwide advocacy to create a wireless broadband industry. Earlier, he was an attorney with a national law firm, and law clerk to a federal judge. In 1987, he authored Spiked: How Chain Management Corrupted America’s Oldest Newspaper, a widely reviewed case study of changes affecting newspaper industry, his first employer after college. He holds degrees from Yale Law School and the University of Chicago School of Law, and a history degree from Cornell University, where he was a student newspaper editor, rowing team member, and Golden Gloves boxer.

The New York you'll be swinging through in the upcoming PS4 Spider-Man game will be a big one - "several times larger" than Insomniac's last open world, Sunset City (the setting for Sunset Overdrive).
Sunset Overdrive wasn't small, either - the company said the Xbox One exclusive was "the biggest game we've ever made".
It might simply be a matter of practicality - while Sunset Overdrive featured some speedy traversal, Spider-Man's webslinging looks a great deal faster in the footage we've seen so far. Being able to reach the other end of the map in mere minutes wouldn't feel particularly satisfying.
At one point, it wasn't entirely clear whether the game even would feature an open world, although a behind-closed-doors presentation at E3 confirmed that it will, with sequences such as the one in the video above included as major missions.
Spider-Man will be released exclusively for PS4 in 2018, and will feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

In addition, he writes that whoever contemplates this while reciting the Adon Olam in the morning is guaranteed not to have any misfortune befall him on that day; he’ll have a great day!
The ten verses of Adon Olam correspond to the sefirot, in order. The verse corresponding to the sefirah of victory is “He is my G-d and my living savior, and the rock of my birth-pains in a time of crisis.” Let us take a look at the words “a time of crisis.” In Hebrew “a time of crisis” equals 765.
765 is the “minor part” (that in mathematics would be called the least significant digits) of the current Jewish year, 5765. In Jewish culture it is customary to use only this part in referring to the year on a daily basis.
One of the most well-known teachings of the Ba’al Shem Tov is that by meditating on a Hebrew word while praying (for instance, when reciting the Adon Olam), one can rearrange the word’s letters and hence change its meaning. The example he gives is using exactly these words “a time of crisis.” By rearranging its three letters “crisis,” in Hebrew, becomes “tzohar” the word for “threshold” or “radiance” (“tzohar” is one of the 13 synonyms for “light” in Hebrew, bringing to mind the image of “a light at the end of a tunnel”). Indeed, using the verse “Oh, for that day is great, there is none like it; and, it is a time of crisis for Jacob, and from it he will be redeemed” (Jeremiah 30:7), the Ba’al Shem Tov teaches that the crisis itself becomes the source of the redemption; the crisis which seems to signal “the end,” becomes a threshold for a new beginning of the good. According to Chassidic teachings, contemplating words in this manner has a real effect on reality, allowing us to clear our minds and to reformulate our understanding of where we are and what it is that we are doing. Suddenly, from this new perspective, opportunities present themselves and the Almighty helps us fashion them in a positive way. So, though this year may be a year of crisis, it is also a threshold for a new level of good and prosperity, a new level of Divine radiance.
In Kabbalah, the process of transforming the negative into the positive is known as “hamtakat hadinim beshorsham,” or “the sweetening of the judgments at their root.” Without going into the Kabbalistic meaning of this process, let us note that the root of the “judgments” can also refer to a word’s grammatical root in Hebrew. The root of the word for “crisis,” in Hebrew is: . But if we take this same word for “crisis” and treat it as if it were a root itself (that is, we are figuratively bringing it to the “root”) then as it turns out, there is only a single word that stems from this root: the word for “balm,” in Hebrew: .
Balm is associated with healing and is considered a homeopathic remedy par excellence in the Bible. Jeremiah says: “Is there no balm in Gilad; is there no physician there? Why then is the health of my people not recovered?” (Jeremiah 8:22; see also Ibid. 51:8). Thus, elevating crisis to its root yields a remedy. In practical terms this means that elevating one’s consciousness to focus on G-d Himself in a time of crisis transforms the crisis into a threshold for healing and growth in the radiance of G-d.
For more on homeopathy in the Torah, see Rabbi Ginsburgh’s Body, Mind, and Soul, pp. 178ff. For more on elevating consciousness to focus on G-d Himself see Ibid., pp. 192ff.

Ahhhh beef luau. One of my favorite dishes ever! Beef, luau leaves, water, salt… maybe an onion… and that’s it. Aren’t the simplest dishes always the best?
This weekend I had a mean craving for this (it might’ve been because of all the Hilo rain). The problem was that I never really made this myself before and searching the google internet machine resulted in no success either.
I used some of the tips they gave me and adapted it for the pressure cooker. Normally this dish would take 3-4 hours, but with a pressure cooker, only 1-1.5 hours.
First step is to prepare the luau leaves.
Just make sure to cut out the big vein section that connects to the stem. Some people take all the veins out, but it’s really not necessary.
Next, pressure cook the leaves in water for 5-10 minutes (boil ~15-20 minutes if no pressure cooker). I’m not too sure how much this helps, but it is supposed to make the dish “cleaner tasting”.
Then drain out the brownish water which has all that itchy-mouth stuff.
For the beef I used bone-in brisket because it’s a great stewing meat with good fat content which enhances this dish. Having the bone still on creates a richer broth. Cost-U-Less in Hilo has good deals on this. If you don’t have brisket, any good stewing beef would work just as good. Note: You may want to trim some of the fat if your cut is very fatty.
Throw in a large chopped onion sliced thinly.
Next, add some water and scrape all the brown yum-yums off the bottom of the pot. Then mix in the luau leaves and add enough water to cover. Yeah, my pressure cooker was too small for this.
Pressure cook for about 50 minutes. 3 hours if no pressure cooker.
The kitchen should now smell onolicious! Open up the pressure cooker and taste test the luau leaves. Are they still a little tough? Do they make your mouth itchy? If so, you need to cook it some more until it’s tender, moist and clean-tasting.
Once the leaves are all tender, add hawaiian salt to taste.
Much mahalos to da guys at HawaiiThreads.com!

The Outstanding Councilor of the Philippines (TOCP) Award will now become an annual undertaking of the JCI Philippines in partnership with the Philippine Councilors League. In its 1st year the Office of Senator Edgardo J. Angara has agreed to be the major sponsor of the project. The said award will join the two other flagship projects of JCI Philippines, namely The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Award and The Outstanding Policemen of the Philippines (TOPP) Award where over the years, both awards have become institutions, having developed a reputation for its selectiveness of outstanding young men and the men in uniform upon whom the award is conferred.
For 48 years, TOYM seeks to give recognition to young men and women whose selfless dedication to their profession or vocation has resulted in significant contributions to the welfare of their country men and our country at large, as well as to the advancement of their respective fields of endeavor. The awardees who have become light of the nation totaling 394 by now, is literally a Philippine “Who’s Who” in outstanding achievement in areas such as community service, the arts, literature, journalism, education law, politics, agriculture, science and technology, economics, banking, business, sports, government service, and other fields of endeavor. The TOPP has been successfully given for the last 39 years in recognition of the exceptional and outstanding achievements of our men and women in uniform rendered beyond the call of duty.
While this two other awards give recognition purely to humanitarian work, the TOCP Awards is uniquely given for outstanding leadership and excellent contributions to local legislation, governance and the nation at large. Its primary aim is for the recognition of the outstanding achievement of our nation’s councilors which have benefited significantly their constituents, the community and the nation. Likewise, it will also inspire others, especially the youth, with the recognition to these achievements and/or leadership of the awardees-leaders who have demonstrated vigor and innovativeness in tackling the problems of society and offering solutions. Moreover, the said award will also challenge and inspire councilors to become development-oriented and to excel beyond the ordinary.
That service to humanity is the best work of life.
The Jaycee Creed, which is universal in its perception and exhortation, sees man not only in the light of what he is but what he can be. This precept proceeds from the principle that earth’s great treasure lies in the in the human personality, which must be developed in its wholeness. This recognizes with implicit faith that God gives its dimension.
The creed likewise exhorts man to hold on to the convention that government, which is man’s own creation, must conform with the demands of humanity; it should not therefore be of men but of laws—laws that are just, and promote the dignity of man and a better understanding among mankind, The Creed emphasizes also a measure that frees man in the pursuit of his enterprise, and must be therefore guaranteed economic justice.
“That government should be of laws rather than of men and that service to humanity is the best work of life.” It is in this context and spirit that the TOCP award was conceived. If it is idealistic, it is because man must have his idealism if he has to shape for himself a better future and a better world.
To focus public attention and confer national recognition to these achievements and contributions.
To live the Jaycee Creed and consider the Jaycee Creed as a good measure of performance by the awardee/s.

Demand for commercial and industrial properties in Hong Kong could weaken over the next several months as businesses adopt a more cautious approach to expansion amid the trade war between China and the United States, according to the city-based property agency Ricacorp (CIR) Properties. An increase in interest rates could also slow down transactions.
Roy Wong, the agency’s director, said the number of deals for commercial and industrial properties could fall to 4,680 in the second half of 2018, a decline of 12 per cent from the first half.
“The market is worried the US-China trade war could worsen, directly dragging the economy down,” said Wong. “The trade war has made the stock market unusually volatile. If the stock market continues to drop, overall economic performance may be impeded.
“[Banks in] Hong Kong are also very likely to follow in the footsteps of the US and increase [prime] rates in the third quarter, increasing pressure on the market,” he added.
According to the agency, the number of transactions for industrial and commercial properties stretched a four-and-a-half-year rally to hit 5,290 in the first half this year, up 160 per cent from a historic low of 2,022 in the first half of 2016.
Wing Tai Properties sold Winner Godown Building, an industrial building in Tsuen Wan, to a company controlled by the chairman of Billion Development & Project Management for HK$2.16 billion (US$275.3 million) in December.
The agency said it expected the number of deals involving industrial and office properties to slump by 13 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively, in the second half.
The agency said this would make such properties, subject to fewer cooling measures and mortgage restrictions than residential properties, good investment opportunities given their relatively low prices.
Major projects such as Beijing’s “Greater Bay Area” scheme and the Belt and Road Initiative could attract more businesses to the city. Infrastructure projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, the Express Rail Link and the Liantang Checkpoint could attract more travellers, which would benefit the retail property market.
Industrial property may also be boosted by government plans to allow owners to convert these buildings into temporary housing for the needy without premium.
Elsewhere, Raymond Tsoi Chi-chung, one of the owners of HK$40.2 billion The Center, said a 26,000 sq ft space he owned on the 22nd floor of the grade A office building would be subdivided to attract more buying interest.
Units starting from 1,600 sq ft would have an indicative price of HK$70 million, he said.
“The sale is expect to kick off in October,” said Tsoi.
