pstp film movie ] Media consultant Blake Harris[2] states that a bankable star is one of the "3 minimum ingredients to any film package", the other two being a successful director and a script or a strong story idea. The involvement of a bankable star in a film gives investors confidence that they will achieve a return on their investments, by ensuring that the film is widely distributed and that at least some people will pay to see it (i.e. that it will "open"). Harris adds that obtaining a bankable star for a package is not easy, because of the dearth of such stars, stating that at any point in time there are no more than "a dozen or so" stars whose mere involvement will ensure that a film will be made. - Thomas Page

Mantras] Mandala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. According to the psychologist David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."[6] The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self,"[citation needed] and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality.[7] In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective. , image search heart coherence sort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.skepticforum.com/viewtop... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 12 -5 mantra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , sort rewrite Turn on your heartlight Let it shine wherever you go Let it make a happy glow For all the world to see , take away movie references ? 12 -29 sort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 3 -3 http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics... , [ 10 -1 Buffalo Gal turn on your heartlight let it make a happy glow for all the world to see ~ gonna take a trip across the moon you and me turn on your heartlight now ~ and dance by the light of the moon ~ we were dancin such a fine and natural sight ~ who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile well it's you Gal and you should know it that sexy heartlight glow will do wonders for you [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ] ~ Buffalo Gal turn on your heartlight tonight heartlight tonight heartlight tonite Buffalo Gal can you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon ~ Calamity Jane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 10 -3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 10 -6 Moondance http://www.lyricsfreak.com/v... fantabulous http://www.urbandictionary.com/define... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 10 -18 http://www.timeanddate.com/astrono... 11 -27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Strip today's Kansans of their job security, and they head out to become registered Republicans. Push them off their land, and next thing you know they're protesting in front of abortion clinics. Squander their life savings on manicures for the CEO, and there's a good chance they'll join the John Birch Society.

Can we build a more efficient airplane? Not really, says physics. | Empirical Zeal - http://www.empiricalzeal.com/2012...
Planes fly by throwing air down. That’s basically it. It’s an important point, so I’ll say it again. Planes fly by throwing air down. As a plane hurtles through the air, it carves out a tube of air, much of which is deflected downwards by the wings. Throw down enough air fast enough, and you can stay afloat, just as the downwards thrust of a rocket pushes it up. The key is that you have to throw down a lot of air (like a glider or an albatross), or throw it down really fast (like a helicopter or a hummingbird). , 10 -12 http://gizmodo.com/5950763... - Thomas Page

Guide to Reclaiming the Value You Create” In Life Inc, award-winning writer Douglas Rushkoff traces how corporations went from being convenient legal fictions to being the dominant fact of contemporary life. The resulting ideology, corporatism, has infiltrated all aspects of civics, commerce, and culture—from the founding of the first chartered monopoly to the branding of the self, from the invention of central currency to the privatization of banking, from the Victorian Great Exhibition to the solipsism of Facebook. Life Inc explains why we see our homes as investments rather than places to live, our 401(k) plans as the ultimate measure of success, and the Internet as just another place to do business. Most important, Rushkoff illuminates both how we’ve become disconnected from our world and how we can reconnect to our towns, to the value we can create, and, mostly, to one another. As the speculative economy collapses under its own weight, Life Inc shows us how to build a real and human-scaled society to take its place. - Thomas Page

In November 1985, General Foods was acquired by Philip Morris Companies (now Altria Group, Inc.) for $5.6 billion, the largest non-oil acquisition to that time. In December 1988, Philip Morris acquired Kraft, Inc., and, in 1990, combined the two food companies as Kraft General Foods (KGF).

Currently,[when?] North Dakota representatives are pursuing legal measures to force DEA approval.[92] Oregon has licensed industrial hemp as of August 2009.[93] Hemp is not legal to grow in the U.S. under Federal law because of its relation to marijuana, and any imported hemp products must meet a zero tolerance level. It is considered a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (P.L. 91-513; 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). Some states have made the cultivation of industrial hemp legal,but these states — North Dakota, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Oregon, California, Montana, West Virginia and Vermont — have not yet begun to grow it because of resistance from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.[94] , 11 -18 pulp paper packaging ? as in Poplar tree farming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Thomas Page

The Granger movement succeeded in regulating the railroads and grain warehouses.
