Should Cocktails Get Simple Again?
All the basics of the bar.
As the craft cocktail scene has grown, so too has the urge to create new and unique drinks, ones that show off the bartender's skills. Drinks have become, in many bars, ever more baroque and complex. Everyone, in all walks of life, wants to stand out, to make a name for themselves in their careers. So a bartender's desire to create a unique, multilayered cocktail is understandable.
Some bartenders are experimenting with molecular-gastronomy techniques behind the bar, making spheres of Negroni that burst in your mouth when you bite into them, and foams for topping cocktails. This trend has grown so strong that it was even parodied in an episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation.
Between the ever-more-elaborate cocktail creations and the super-sciency molecular movement, it seems that even an act as simple as ordering a cocktail is becoming a learning exercise, or as they say in education, a teachable moment. But do you really want a lesson plan every time you go out for a drink?
A cocktail that uses lime and grapefruit juices, both squeezed a la minute, plus muddled mint and egg white, shaken long and hard with a mixture of spirits and liqueurs and syrups, then layered with floats and sprays and garnishes, might turn out both beautiful and delicious. But a drink like that will leave the customer thirsting five minutes or more, and some bar patrons are resisting.
Further, a drink like that, when made on a really busy night, can drive even the most efficient bartender straight into the weeds, and once you're in the weeds, it's a hard slog to get back out.
While some cocktail bars focus on ever-more unusual techniques and ingredients, there are bartenders and patrons alike who are beginning to push back. We're beginning to see an opposite trend emerging: simplicity.
Some bars are emphasizing highballs or easy 3-ingredient drinks, some are pouring premixed cocktails from a bottle into your glass, and some even have cocktails and punches on tap. The advantages are clear: these drinks take stress off the bartender, help with the flow of the bar, and keep customers happy.
Wave of the Future?
Now, two questions arise: first, is this trend a sign that the pendulum is swinging away from carefully constructed cocktails? Second, is this how every bar should operate? I don't think so, for several reasons.
A batched cocktail can be just as carefully constructed as one made à la minute. The only difference is that the batched version is made pre-shift, or during lulls in service.
But many patrons enjoy the theater of a well-made drink, and are willing to wait for it. Patrons sitting or dining at the bar generally enjoy having a rapport with the bartender and usually enjoy watching her mix drinks to order. A savvy bartender might rely on a batched drink for the floor, while crafting the same drink a la minute for customers sitting at the bar.
Perhaps, most crucial is the fact that many, if not most, bars in the country are still very simple in terms of technique. A bar that slops tequila and margarita mix into a blender is not a bar where you need to worry that its techniques are too complex. A bartender who makes a Tom Collins by mixing well gin with Sprite from a soda gun is not a bartender who takes five minutes to make an Old Fashioned.* In these bars, it's not time to 'return' to anything. There's a path forward, and it starts with throwing away the margarita mix.
*By the way, lest you think I'm getting snobby here, well I am, in part. But such a Tom Collins was the first drink I ever had with liquor in it, and it was the first drink I ever got drunk on. So I have a soft spot for them. In the right time and place, they're golden.
I think we're at an interesting point in drinks history. Many bars might still have ample room for improvement, in terms of using craft techniques to create the most delicious drinks possible. But at some level, who cares? As much as I'd love to see a simple neighborhood bar that uses fresh juices and bottled tonic water, I don't mind getting a G-n-T made with soda-gun tonic at a dark dive. Not every bar needs craft cocktails.
Other bars will always be known for elaborate techniques and presentation, and drinkers who enjoy that will seek them out.
But I do find it a welcome trend that we're starting to see places that are happy to serve, say, gin and homemade tonic, premixed and served from a tap. Carbonated cocktails served in cans or bottles are both fun for the drinker and easy for the bartender, and they can ease the crush of drink orders so everyone involved has an easier night. The fact that there is a move afoot to simplify the cocktail experience is a good sign: if great service is something the bar values, it's worth thinking about how to find the right balance between craft quality and wait time.
Should cocktails all get simple again? I'd say no. Instead, the key is for customers to know what they want—and what to expect—when they go out. If you want craft technique without the wait, the good news is, now there are bartenders happy to help you with that. But if you're seeking a bartender who'll mix you something you've never had before, you can find somewhere where the craft cocktail movement continues to push the boundaries. And if you simply want someone to pop the top on a cold beer, you probably just need to duck around the corner.

Auto Loan Calculator
Use this calculator* to estimate your monthly car payment.
Show Calculator Definitions
- Amount Owed on Trade-In
- The total amount of money you still owe on the current financing for a trade-in vehicle if you're still making payments. To get your exact payoff amount, contact your lender.
- Down Payment
- When you purchase a vehicle with a loan, this represents the money you pay at the beginning of the financial agreement to lower the total amount you finance.
- Interest Rate (APR)
- When you purchase a vehicle with a loan, this is the percentage dollar amount that determines the yearly cost of credit. For instance, if you took out an $8,500 loan with an interest rate of 7.9% and a 36-month term, at the end of the loan your total payments would equal $9,575.03. The difference between the initial amount of your loan and what you paid, which in this example is $1,075.03, is the cost of using credit which was established by the interest rate.
- Length of Loan
- How long you make payments to a loan, most commonly expressed in months. Also referred to as a "term." A loan with a term of 36 months, for instance, indicates that you will make 36 monthly payments during the life of the loan.
- Monthly Payment
- The approximate amount of money you will be required to pay each month on a loan.
- Sales Tax
- The percent of state sales taxes that will be applied to the vehicle price. Remember, this could be based on the state and locality where you register the vehicle, not necessarily where you purchase it.
- Trade-In Value
- Trade-In ValueThe amount of money your current vehicle is worth toward the purchase of another vehicle. Keep in mind that dealerships will take the difference between the Trade-In Value and the Amount Owed on Trade-In to determine how much money should be applied to the sale.
- Vehicle Price
- The dollar amount you pay for the vehicle before sales tax and additional factors, such as rebates, are applied.

There are many famed haunted houses on Cape Cod. A few years ago, as
part of a Halloween story, I compiled a list of some of the most notable. Here then is a greatest hits list of spooky places to read about and/or visit:
The Dillingham House, Main Street, Sandwich
One of the most famous haunted houses on Cape Cod, the Dillingham house has been written about many times. Accounts of ghostly doings include door latches lifting, empty rocking chairs rocking and the sounds of children running through the house. The house was built in 1650 by Simeon Dillingham in Sagamore and later moved to Sandwich by his grandson, Branch, in 1800. In April 1813, Branch committed suicide and a few weeks later, his wife Ruth died leaving their nine children orphaned.
Highfield Hall, 56 Highfield Drive, Falmouth
Highfield Hall, an immense building with more than 25 rooms, was built in 1878. Its hauntings are said to have started in the 1950s. A former owner and his friend heard the ghostly sounds of a woman in high heels coming down the main staircase. A few years later, a visitor came after a major hurricane when the electricity was out. He fled after he saw the apparition of a woman lunge down the main staircase toward him.
The Village Green Inn, 40 Main St., Falmouth
The mysterious image of a man fitting the description of the senior Dr. Edwin Tripp has been seen wandering around the house where he once practiced medicine. Dr. Tripp, who died in 1953, first bought the house in 1913. In his later years, he was known for his stooped posture and for wearing flannel shirts. It is in this guise that Dr. Tripp is seen by guests as he shuffles down the hall.
Barnstable House, Route 6A, Barnstable
Built in 1716, the Barnstable House has seen several owners. There have also been many sightings of different spirits. The most famous is the waiter ghost. He is dressed in old colonial clothes and moves about with a towel over his arm. Captain John Grey, a former owner, is said to slam doors. The house is also known for the "phantom fires" that suddenly appear in the fireplace. Another story about the house is that after responding to a fire there many years ago, several firemen reported seeing a woman, dressed in an old-fashioned gown, staring down at them from a third-floor window.
Burgess House, 1603 Main St. Route 6A, Brewster
This was the home of Capt. William Burgess, who died of an illness aboard the clipper ship Challenger in 1855, and his widow, Hanna Rebecca, who lived another 63 years. She remained a widow despite more than 50 proposals of marriage. The current owner hears footsteps and notices artwork is often rearranged.
Orleans Inn, 3 Old County Road, Orleans
The Orleans Inn, built in 1875 by Aaron Snow II for his wife Mary and their seven children, is said to be haunted. Once a bustling mercantile center, the place was left empty after William H. Snow, son of Aaron Snow, moved the family business to the center of Orleans. Aaron died in 1892 and the building, known to locals as "Aaron's Folly," remained empty until its purchase in 1900. For the next 30 years, it was run as a boarding house. After World War II, it became first a summer, then a year-round hotel. It is here that strange things are reported: lights that go on and off, doors that open and close. Some visitors have heard voices and detected fleeting visual appearances. There are also "cold spots" found inside the building.
Fairbanks Inn, 90 Bradford St., Provincetown
This inn which dates back to 1775 was built by Eben Snow, a sea captain. It was later sold to David Fairbanks in 1826. He began the first Provincetown banking business in the front parlors of the building. Fairbanks would go on to establish the Seamen's Saving Bank and become the town's wealthiest resident. More recently, the Inn began welcoming visitors in 1985. The Inn also has a ghostly connection. According to a recent article in the Patriot Ledger, a Revolutionary War soldier is thought to haunt one of the 15 rooms at the Fairbanks Inn.

Harvin Misses Practice With Ankle Injury
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota receiver Percy Harvin did not practice on Monday when the team returned to work after its bye week.
Harvin is still working through a badly sprained left ankle that caused him to miss the game against Detroit before the bye. Coach Leslie Frazier says his leading receiver hasn't suffered any setbacks. But Frazier did say it was still too sore for Harvin to go Monday.
Receiver Michael Jenkins also missed practice with a sore foot. An MRI revealed no structural damage.
The Vikings are also taking it easy with running back Adrian Peterson, who has been bothered by a sore left ankle. Peterson was at practice on Monday, but on a limited basis.
The Vikings play at Chicago on Sunday.

text: Quiet Concrete and Smart Sensors For the first time in a project of this scale, mixed-generation concrete – or what's also known as "quiet concrete" – will cover the surface of the bridge. By using advanced grinding methods, the particles of the concrete mixture reduce the noise of vehicles traveling on pavement, which is particularly important for neighbors living on the shores of sound-reflecting water. The roadway will also contain traffic data monitoring equipment to get speed and the amount of vehicles traveling on the roadway, along with active traffic management signage. Bridge officials hope to add a high-efficiency street sweeper to help remove debris and contaminants before it goes through the bridge's stormwater system.Cheating Mother Nature A custom-developed weather station located on the bridge will monitor wind speed and direction, and will be a massive improvement over the existing systems. The current bridge system trips an alarm if sustained gusts of 40 mph last for a minute. Because of the new aerodynamic design, the wind criteria will be increased for the new bridge and the system will still tie into the PLC to alert crews to keep an eye on sway. However, Allen says, "it will take a real whopper to shut [things] down." Additionally, sensor-laden "pucks" embedded in the roadway will transmit deck temperature information to crews, alerting them of possible sand or if it's time to bust out the de-icing equipment.Fighting the Wind In the bridge's current form, high winds send Lake Washington waves crashing across the roadway, prompting officials to close the floating bridge in adverse weather. By elevating the bridge deck 20 feet above the water level, weather-related events are all but eliminated. And it also takes care of maintenance concerns. The new bridge design means crews won't have to travel on the road to perform maintenance. Instead, they'll access the pontoons through dedicated spaces under the roadway. If they need to get up to the tarmac, stairways within the bridge supports provide additional access, but that won't be happening very often – 98 percent of maintenance access to the bridge will now be done via boat and away from traffic.Fighting the Flames "I wouldn't call it fire-suppression, I would call it a fire-fighting system," Allen notes when describing the automated system that will rise from the center of the bridge to douse vehicle fires. With four 350-horsepower electrical pumps (two at each end of the bridge for redundancy) supporting almost 8,000 lineal feet of fire pipe, the bridge can stock hydrants every 900 feet with lake water. Once activated from the command room, the system can charge either the west or east sections in about eight minutes. When finished, the lines automatically drain. By using lake water, engineers didn't have to deal with the issue of running water lines through the highly movable transition point between the fixed bridge and floating bridge, allowing the placement of hydrants on a floating bridge for the first time.Maintenance Finally Has a Home Between eight and 10 maintenance personnel will be available 24 hours a day, all housed in a LEED Silver-certified building at the east approach of the bridge. Along with a yard for equipment and offices, the facility will also contain the command station with monitors for viewing security cameras, scads of computers, a primary and backup server, along with the rest of the PLC system. Additionally, the facility has an energy-monitoring system, a backup power source, new docks for the maintenance boat and a hydroponic system to defrost the dock. Intrusion alarms on each pontoon will also alert the maintenance facility and prompt a call-out – one of 15 possible reasons the red phone will ring.Electrifying Rebar With steel rebar inserted throughout the concrete pontoons and steel cables connecting the bridge to anchors, corrosion is inevitable, and that's where a "cathodic protection system" comes into play. A system keeps tabs on corrosion and a cathodic protector automatically pumps low-voltage, DC electricity into the metal to counteract the effects of the water. The bridge features one system focused solely on the pontoons and another monitoring the cables. "To start out with, [the voltage] should be very little, but it will keep electrolysis in check," Allen says.Keeping Things Afloat Over 1,000 water sensors located within the pontoon structures connect remotely to the bridge's main Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). As soon as a leak or any other anomaly is detected, an alert goes off and maintenance personnel are sent to investigate. Within each pontoon-mounted, watertight cell sits a float switch, located a scant three inches off the pontoon's floor. If rising water triggers the switch, the sensor will send a signal to a central monitoring panel, then relay the information to the PLC at the east end of the bridge. From there, the system will instruct an auto dialer to call 24-hour dispatch. "This is the first time this has been done at this scale," says Archie Allen, WSDOT bridge superintendent. And obviously, they're hoping it never goes off.How to Pour a (Massive) Pontoon The new SR 520's pontoons are 360 feet long, 75 feet wide and 28 feet tall (although only six feet are visible above the water), and weigh the equivalent of to 23 Boeing 747 jets. But it's not the tonnage that's an issue. The sheer volume of the concrete being poured causes a massive amount of heat to build up. So the team responsible for the construction had to get creative, installing tubes filled with cooling liquid (think your car's radiator, but on an epically large scale) to keep temperatures in check. "If it gets too hot, it can lose strength and lead to cracking and brittleness," says George Fies, Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) floating-bridge engineer. Before floating pontoons out to Lake Washington where they must deal with the elements, any "structural crack" over 6/1000th of an inch gets fixed with a epoxy injection and crystalline waterproofing, while smaller cracks need just a crystalline treatment.The world's longest floating bridge, a 230,000-ton ribbon of concrete spanning Lake Washington, is getting longer. And smarter. The Washington State Department of Transportation is rebuilding State Route 520 that links Seattle to all points east, making it safer and more efficient for the Evergreen State's drivers. But it's not the new bridge's 7,710 feet of tarmac, 77 concrete pontoons, 58 reinforced concrete blocks or the 3-inch-thick cables keeping it together that's impressive. After all, basic physics keep it afloat – the weight of the structure equals the weight of the water being displaced. No, advanced construction methods and new technologies, including electrified rebar and hundreds of moisture sensors, will play prominent roles in building the 116-foot-wide, 20-foot-high, six-lane structure, while helping the bridge retain its "world's longest" title.Improved Lighting Old-school streetlights will give way to LED and fluorescent lights. The iconic "sentinels" on each end of the bridge use LEDs to change the color and style of lighting. The translucent spires atop each sentinel house additional lights, illuminating the structure from the inside. Fluorescents handle roadway illumination, while metal-halide lighting will keep the 10-foot pathways for pedestrians and cyclists illuminated at night.All photos courtesy of WSDOT

I have a piece at The American Prospect about the demise of "don't ask, don't tell":
For all the sad stories of gay service members who've been victims of this institutionalized discrimination, the fight over DADT has been about more than just gays in the military (who, by some estimates, already make up 2 percent of active service members). The true fight has been about what it means to say, "I am gay" — whether the affirmation is cause for social — and in the military, literal — ostracism and exclusion or whether it's a neutral means of describing yourself. As with the fight over the term "marriage" — which is what was at stake in the Prop. 8 battle in California — the ability to say you're gay without reprisal is really about the normalization of homosexuality.
As Judge Virginia Phillips noted in striking down the law this past September, for all the talk about "homosexual behavior" and the comfort of straight soldiers, DADT was always primarily a restriction on speech. In a sense, this is what made DADT such an abhorrent and fundamental assault on individual freedom: Like being forbidden to speak your own name, it denied gay people the simple right to identify themselves. As queer theorist Judith Butler pointed out in a well-known 1997 essay, the 1993 law was primarily concerned with giving others extensive guidelines for determining who counts as gay, "a homosexual is one whose definition is to be left to others, one who is denied the act of self-definition with respect to his or her sexuality, one whose self-denial is a prerequisite for military service." …
When the president signs the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" today, it will strip anti-gay prejudice of the state's imprimatur, allowing culture to happen where it usually does — in the everyday interactions between people who are very different, sometimes radically so, but still call themselves Americans. Allowing service members to know their gay colleagues is so threatening to religious conservatives because, as studies have shown, actually knowing a gay person is the best predictor of how one views homosexuality. Once service members can utter the words "I am gay" without an official state sanction, the culture-war battle has largely been won.
I'd be curious to hear what AMERICAblog Gay readers think of this analysis. I've always thought the most damaging thing about "don't ask, don't tell" was that it prevented straight soldiers from actually knowing one of the colleagues they knew and respected was gay — in other words, facing the fact that their prejudices and stereotypes about gay people weren't true. As I've said before, DADT not only perpetuated anti-gay prejudice, it withheld the antidote.

Truly special players only come along once in a while in a high school program�s history.
HAVELOCK � Truly special players only come along once in a while in a high school program�s history.
Havelock head coach Bill Fryczynski feels he has that in sophomore Kyran Bowman.
�I�ve been doing this for a long time, 45 years to be exact and I think he is the most talented player I�ve ever coached,� Fryczynski said.
Bowman, a 6-foot-2 guard, is leading the Sun Journal coverage area in scoring at 20.6 points per game.
He�s received some interest from East Carolina already, but does not yet hold any scholarship offers.
He said his main goal is to change that this season.
�In addition to our team playing well, I definitely want to have a Division I basketball offer by the end of the year,� Bowman said. �Leading the area in scoring feels great, I come out every day and work hard and keep striving for success.�
Bowman also stars as a wide receiver on the school�s state championship football team, and has a football offer from North Carolina.
On the hardwood, Fryczynski likes to use his star in an up-tempo offense that usually leads to breakaway dunks.
�He is what Dick Vitale always calls a �lead guard,�� Fryczynski said. �He�s not a point guard, and not a 2-guard, but like a combination of the two positions.�
In addition to scoring, Bowman is often the leader in rebounds and assists at game�s end for the Rams.
With Bowman having very high goals, Fryczynski sees no reason why he can�t reach them.
�He is a very coachable kid, a good kid, solid student and a gentleman,� he said. �As a sophomore now, if he keeps improving, there�s no reason why he can�t have a D-I future.�
Havelock is an undefeated, 7-0, since Bowman and the rest of the football stars joined the team. The Rams take on border rival West Carteret for first place in the Coastal Conference Friday.
Havelock defeated the Patriots in double overtime in December.
�It�s going to be a tough game for sure,� Bowman said. �We have to keep working on our defense, box out and get out to their 3-point shooters to win.�

As with any adventure game, a huge portion of its worth hinges on its gameplay. MI2 is much like any of the classic LucasArts adventure titles in that its puzzles range from straight forward to truly bizarre. Frequently, the correct course of action seems fairly transparent, but there are also many times when random inventory manipulation and a dash of creativity are needed to figure out what to do next.
To that end, another bright spot is the return of the in-game hint guide, cutting out the middle man of sending scores of confounded gamers to their PCs to look up the next step. The hint system will give three scaling hints, starting with a subtle push in the right direction and ending with an obvious do this next-esque statement. While the adventure game purists out there may frown at this readily accessible cheat mechanic, its none-the-less good to have. We may wish for todays youth to be stuck going through the painstaking agony of figuring out exactly what to do with that rubber chicken in our inventories, but lets face it, the dynamics of information have changed and they would just look it up on CheatCC anyway.
The biggest fault I had with the game is its new control system of directly moving Guybrush Threepwood using the left analog stick. In theory, this should make for a better and more modern control scheme; however, it instead often felt clunky and unpolished. There seemed to be invisible obstructions that kept movement from being entirely free flowing and kept Guybrush from smoothly getting where I wanted him to go. There is the option to change movement back to the point and click style, which started sounding appealing to me half way through the first act.
Although the new movement controls arent perfect, the quick command options are a blessing, as is the button to highlight any interactive objects on the screen. Pixel hunting is a thing of the past, and I couldnt be more pleased about it. And Once youve moved the cursor to the object youd like to interact with, a radial menu of available commands opens up for quick selecting. Its so much more streamlined and polished that you wonder why this wasnt incorporated before.
All in all, Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChucks Revenge is a great update on a classic game in video game history. While it has been enhanced for the better in nearly every way, the ability to just go back to the original game style at any time is a nice nod to the older generation that likes their products left alone. Add in the available MST3K style commentary from the games creators, and theres a lot of bang for your buck here. If youre already a fan of the adventure genre, you know what youll be getting and dont need me to tell you its worth picking up. But if you are new to these whacky adventure titles, this is as good a starting point as you will find.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 is a lightweight disc burning suite which is easy to use, yet also manages to include many unusual and powerful features which you might not expect.
Burning regular data discs, for example, is a very simple and straightforward process. Click Burn Data > New Disc from the front-end menu, drag and drop your files onto the interface, and you can be burning your CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc in a couple of clicks.
But the program can also create Autostart discs, which display interactive menus that appear when the disc is inserted. These can launch files or documents, open a folder, link to a web page and more, and are a great way to properly present information to the recipient of your disc.
It's a similar story when you need to create video DVDs. Just like the competition, you can drag and drop in a few source videos and burn them to a PAL or NTSC video. But that's just the start. Burning Studio 12 can also trim, cut or split your videos; add soundtracks to a movie; create video slideshows from your images, with custom transitions and subtitles, and more.
And there's plenty of power elsewhere. You can easily create or rip audio CDs, for instance. You're able to burn, create or browse disc images in all the main formats (ASHDISC, CUE/ BIN, ISO, IMG). And there are tools to run simple file backups, copy discs, edit labels and covers, and the list goes on.
What's new? Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 now supports burning 100 and 128GB BDXL discs, perfect for heavy-duty archiving tasks. And if even that's not enough, the new Disc Spanning option allows you the program to automatically split your files over as many discs as are required.
You get plenty of other smaller improvements scattered throughout the suite. You can now normalize the audio of your video tracks; insert credits on a slideshow; burn audio discs from CUE sheets; rip CDs to FLAC or OGG files, and more.
And all this is presented in a clean and clear interface which has been revamped to improve usability, and now launches faster than ever.
Please note, the program installer will by default install a browser toolbar and change your search and home pages. If that's not what you want, choose the Custom Installation option and clear the relevant check boxes.
Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 is fast and easy to use, yet still manages to include plenty of powerful features. If you're tired of the more bloated competition but don't want to compromise on functionality then Burning Studio 12 could be the ideal choice

The month of December brings us to the long anticipated, much talked about, and thoroughly dramatized date of 12-21-2012. No, it is not the "end of the world" as some people have chosen to believe, rather it is an entirely new beginning. Have you ever wished, hoped or longed for a second chance in life? Maybe some of your heart's desires have not come to fruition, and there is a lingering sadness or frustration.
The date of 12-21-2012 is a cosmic re-set date, a specific point in time and space where a wave of energy will be released from the center of our galaxy. Whether the doors and windows rattle and shake is not as significant as the realization that your thoughts will now have the ability to manifest into reality very quickly. This may sound like science fiction, however, it's not!
There is a dynamic which exists in the realm of spiritual physics, and that would be something called an "Intention Vortex." An Intention Vortex is a field of energy created by an individual or group of people gathered together. Through linking their mental, emotional, and spiritual energies, a tangible force field is generated which may be projected anywhere in the world. This positive energy is often created through mantra, meditation and prayer. Numerous studies have been done in hospitals which have documented the recovery rate of patients who have had someone praying for them, compared with those who did not. The patients who were being prayed for recovered in less time, and with fewer complications.
We are presently in extraordinary times, partially due to an increasing intensity of severe weather phenomenon occurring throughout the world. As future events unfold, and our Earth begins to change in more drastic degrees, people will need help.
I personally find it interesting that the initials for Intention Vortex are IV. In the world of medicine IV are the initials for intravenous injection. A person is put on an IV when they don't have the strength to live without support from outside themselves. We are now in a time where we will need to band together, creating an Intention Vortex, as a "spiritual IV," so others may live. That person who may otherwise have dropped down in despair thinking, "I can't make it through, I can't go on like this for another minute," will make it through because of the prayers being sent to them.
This is the New Age my friends, and this is how we can turn the tide of devastation which has happened, and which may yet occur. I can sit here in Los Angeles, and scoot on out to my favorite cafe to have a Soy Latte and vegan crumpet, but rest assured that the next morning I'm in a yoga class or temple elevating myself through the white light of the teachings, and projecting a beam of light out to those in need.
There will be an abundance of fire energy on the planet this month, as the number 3 (12, 1+2=3) is the Fire Element. Number 3 in the Positive polarity is creative, joyful, and nurturing, however, when it goes Negative it can be angry, destructive and worrisome. We will be witnessing the wild vacillation of these two polarities throughout the month, and it will be like watching a roller-coaster on steroids in a windstorm. It is essential at this time to develop your intuition to a hair-trigger efficiency. The people on the East Coast who were hit by Hurricane Sandy were largely unprepared for such an event. We are now in times where the classic line, "I never thought it could happen here," is no longer a viable excuse. As we are shifting into a time on the planet that portends greater extremes in weather and climate change, it is wise to have a base of water and non-perishable items in your household as a back-up to insure your well-being. Please heed this advice.
We live in a world of polarity, so, no matter what may happen there is always a positive side to every situation. Looking again to the example of Hurricane Sandy, the NYC Langone Medical Center lost all its power during the storm, and even lost the back-up generator, and the back-up to the back-up generator, due to flooding and a loss of electricity. Who could make this stuff up?!! The nurses on duty in the "preemie ward" (prematurely born infants) were in the most ultimately challenging situation of keeping these infants alive against all odds. They had to evacuate the preemies from the powerless hospital to a location which did have back-up power.
Each infant was individually transported by a nurse who through a special device manually pumped oxygen into the infant, while walking down 9 flights of stairs in the dark, keeping the infant close to her chest, as she stepped out into a hurricane. Thirty-six year veteran Margot Condon said, "Everyone was just focused on keeping the babies safe, on getting them out in a calm manner — the positive intention, it was so strong. It just carried us."
There is an energetic space which we have the capacity to hold for each other, and often that space is not invoked until the circumstances either pressure or inspire us to move out of our comfort zone, and respond with our great spirit. Know that you have this capacity, and great spirit.
Every calendar year has a spiritual challenge, and a spiritual gift. The challenge of this year, represented by the number 5 (2+0+1+2=5), has been emotional flexibility and physical adaptability to rapidly changing circumstances. The gift of the year is spiritual endurance and balance. Without endurance, nothing in life is sustainable. In our relationships, work, family, and even health, an element of endurance is necessary in order to have the best possible result.
Enjoy the Holiday Season, relax with friends and family, and rest in the gentle knowing that life always goes on, and there is a future for the lovely children of the world. As Yogi Bhajan has said, "That God in you is the power in you. And when you balance that power you are God. Balance yourself and see what happens, just watch it." Sat Nam.
Would you like to know more? Nam Hari can do a personal reading for you over the phone. Start your New Year empowered by knowing your own energy cycles, and how to bring your dreams into reality. Nam Hari specializes in the area of relationships, and by understanding the connective lines of energy between you and another person, your chances for success are greatly enhanced.
Nam Hari also offers an advanced study course in the science of Numerology.

YACHT have released a new statement apologising for their sex tape hoax.
The Portland duo of Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans have come under fire from activists and fellow musicians for a recent publicity stunt, which saw them fake a sex tape leak.
After initially defending the stunt, the pair have acknowledged the criticism levelled at them and offered an apology to fans in a second post on their Facebook page earlier today (April 11).
"We take full responsibility for what has happened, and we are truly sorry," they wrote. "We know we've broken a bond of trust with many of our fans and friends. Thank you to those that called us out and helped us to understand the gravity of the mistake we made."
They continue: "We should not have hinged this entire project on the fiction that we were the victims of a leaked tape, and we're equally disappointed in ourselves for taking so long to get over being shocked at the response and write this apology."
Earlier this week, Bechtolt and Evans claimed that an intimate video they made together had been leaked to the public, blaming "one morally abject person". They subsequently told fans in an update that they had decided to sell the video themselves through their own website.
After revealing the sex tape to be fake yesterday, the band explained that the ruse was intended to "explore the intersection of privacy, media, and celebrity".
The two said they "didn't anticipate the outpouring of genuine support, due partially to the credulity with which this story was so extensively and immediately reported."
However, some accused the band of making light of victims of similar privacy violations and revenge porn.
"This is a bullshit marketing stunt," lawyer Carrie Goldberg, whose New York law firm helps victims of internet harassment, told The Guardian. "As somebody who spends all day, every day working with actual victims of nonconsensual porn and rapes that have videos and gone viral, I just thought: 'Where are these guys, I'm going to come and hunt them down'".
Best Coast also echoed the criticism, writing on Twitter that YACHT's stunt wasn't "cutting edge shit" but that "playing the victim and exploiting your fans" was "just a real shitty asshole thing to do".
In the band's latest statement, they admitted they had made a "glaring error… in positioning ourselves as the victims of a leaked sex tape" and retracted their previous post.

And now, back to our Priscilla.
The American mastodon starred in the opening chapters of American science. Thomas Jefferson got some mastodon bones from Kentucky and put them on display in the White House in the 1790s.
Jefferson was sure that wild mastodons still roamed the unexplored land west of the Mississippi, so he instructed explorers Lewis and Clark to find them. By 1860, dozens of skeletons adorned the halls of museums in North America.
Despite their early fame, American mastodons were overshadowed by mammoths. The average bull Columbian mammoth is noticeably taller. The big fossil halls in New York City, Denver and Los Angeles exhibit both, and there's no doubt who is the heavyweight.
However, during the Ice Age in Florida, Nature produced some extremes. Priscilla was an old, old bull. He had arthritis in his lower back, and some stiffness in the shoulders. But he wasn't crippled by any means — despite his great age, he shows healthy leg joints. Elephant bulls today continue growing throughout their lives, if their diet is healthy. Priscilla must have chosen his food well over 50 or 60 years. He grew an extraordinarily wide pelvis and set of ribs — he's well over six feet, side to side, across the hips. His leg bone shafts match the length in most mammoths, but Priscilla's legs are far thicker and stronger.
Priscilla was buff. We know that because fossil leg bones show the size and strength of muscles during life. Where powerful muscles attached to the bone, the surface is roughened and ridged. Priscilla's limbs are outstanding in the development of muscle-attachment marks. So he was not only unbelievably wide, he was Schwartzeneggerian in muscularity.
Priscilla is especially massive in the forequarters and the low shoulders make him look like a proboscidean fullback, ready to make a first down in a short yardage situation. The gigantic power in the elbow joint means he could thrust forward with the acceleration of a out-sized rhino. Once he decided to charge, few objects — plants or animals — could stand in his way. If he wanted a path through the woods, he just smashed the trees down.
Priscilla was buried in a Florida stream about 13,000 years ago, a time when human hunters were skulking through the continent. Did Priscilla meet a human? No spear point was found with him and his bones show no evidence of being cut by stone knives after death. Spear points and butcher-cuts document human hunting of mammoth at many sites across the continent. But only a few mastodon skeletons carry the CSI evidence of human attack.
What do we know about Priscilla's social life? Was he solitary? There are hints that mammoths traveled in herds led by wise old matriarchs, just as modern day elephants do. Cave paintings in Europe show many mammoths together. In North America, several mammoth digs came up with multiple specimens, including moms and calves — maybe the result of a herd dying together. The Waco Mammoth museum displays such a site.
More evidence for matriarchal mammoths comes from where male mammoths are buried. At Hot Springs Mammoth trap in South Dakota, nearly 50 Columbian mammoths sank into loose sand and died over a long span of time. All were male, mostly young adults.
In the modern elephant herd structure, matriarchs drive the males away after the boys go through puberty. Then the young fellows live alone or in bachelor groups. And like bachelors of many species, the male elephants are inquisitive, aggressive and do really stupid things. Like plunge into soft sand without thinking.
Mastodons seem to be way different. Multiple skeletons are rarely piled up in single sites. Bachelor groups are unknown. Most mastodon sites contain just a single skeleton. And so, perhaps we should envision Priscilla as being unsociable, like the giant forest-living rhinos today in Asia and Africa. With a hair-trigger temper and distrust of everyone, the mastodon bull might well have been just too frightening for human hunters to pursue.
I imagine being an Ice Age hunter standing at the edge of a Florida forest. I can hear deep tummy rumbles and coarse trumpeting 200 yards in. I can see birch trees flattened. Tree trunks a yard wide splintered.
"Are we going in?" My companion asks.
"Are we nuts?" I reply.
Don't answer that.

Apple has killed off the 17in iMac G5 - at least, the machine is no longer available from either the UK or the US online AppleStores, or stores throughout Europe and Asia-Pacific, though it remains listed on the main Apple website. The move comes just days after Apple cut the price of the 20in iMac G5 by $200 in the States and £150 in Britain.
It was widely assumed that the price cuts were intended to help shift remaining stocks of the iMac G5 as Apple migrates to Intel-based machines. The Core Duo-equipped consumer desktop - known simply as the 'iMac' - was only launched in the second week of January and began shipping at that time, so Apple's done pretty well to rid itself of the 17in PowerPC-based model in a month.
A number of UK resellers still have stocks of the 17in iMac G5, so the machine hasn't disappeared completely. But it's days are surely numbered.
In any case, it was only a matter of time before it began doing more to steer buyers away from the PowerPC iMac to the Intel versions. Already, clicking on Apple website links connecting the iMac G5 to the AppleStore automatically reroutes you to the Intel iMac purchase page.
Meanwhile, Apple's Intel-based MacBook Pro, also announced in January, is due to ship this month, a move that should see the imminent demise of the 15in PowerBook G4 if not other models too. ®
