Target Aquarius
Author: Scott Beringer
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499009003
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
The sixties saw massive shifts in consciousness as a higher authority was setting the stage for “The Coming.” Camelot was meant to fall, with the 5th Dimension singing background, as Petula sings curious lyrics to a “distant love” while Target changed its logo of 6 elements to that of 3 in preparation. The wizard then created it’s polar 6 in the hills of OZark, and egos shop as if nothing approaches. The “Inconvenient Truth” of climate change is however, an allegory of Earth changes as we enter new energy fields as we align at the plane of galactic center, ushering the death of 3-D Iron. The smoke in the shape of a galaxy on its cover speak to the aware, confirming it to be an Alaôr , along with Al’s assertion that he took the initiative in creating the Internet, as it too is an allegory for the coming Aquarian awareness. “The weather, very peculiar, Don’t you think?” Like a Bronze Phoenix, the organic 5D NWO will “Spring” from the wintry rubble of rust, with its 4 letters, that was the dark polarities “mechanized” nwo. This mystical setting is for my fellow Prodigals, “to whom it is given,” who are waking up to the emptiness of their 3D Las Vegash folly here in the 7-11 School of Duality! As the new millennium began, the ultimate paradox was played out. Understated symbolism with an ironic twist, as a president tells his countrymen to go out and shop after 9-11 with wars planned, while Target, in contradiction, airs a television commercial that has nothing to do with shopping, but everything to do with our spiritual advancement beyond this 3D setting. A logo and a thirty-second commercial that defy any explanation in terms of ordinary marketing. A divine message, seen by billions and “not seen”. If You have not retreated, then perhaps it is Your time to take this information and prepare. It is the easiest, and most Sirius, choice you will ever make to finally understand why, there will be a cleansing "Reckoning", and what cosmological purpose it serves with a "Final Judgement", which I had rejected until I discovered the purpose it serves, as a very precise program that oversees the development of new Stars and their Darker polar partners, within the expanding Cosmos. Learn the real meaning of 9-11 and 7-11, and why “The Fall” of Man, the Angels and Lucifer was preordained and had to occur for this “Polar” expansion. When you Know Yourself, you will understand your own “Arc” frequency and how to adjust it, making you the Master of your game! This was the “Ark” Noah was “building” to adjust and align his with the “higher frequency” of the next Age, discovering the Narrow Gate! Time has come to pay attention to the “invisible” Man behind the curtain and the real identity of the “visible” Lucifer and the real truth of the “Light-Bearer”, that was hidden from the children until the few were ready for adult concepts. Time to be aware of our Mother and know “You’ve always had the power”, and that no “evil” can steal your “sole”, Dorothy! The multitude of clue filled counterfeit current “events” point to This, Sign of the Times! Oh thank heaven for 7-11, as one play concludes, and your new front row seat to “A Star is Born”!

Losing It
Author: Valerie Bertinelli
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416570195
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Valerie Bertinelli, then: bubbly sitcom star and America's Sweetheart turned tabloid headline and rock star wife. Now: actress, single working mother of teenage rock star, and weight-loss inspiration to millions. We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli years ago when she played girl-next-door cutie Barbara Cooper in the hit TV show One Day at a Time, and then starred in numerous TV movies. From wholesome primetime in America's living rooms, Valerie moved to late nights with the hardest-partying band of the decadent eighties when she became, at twenty, wife to rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Losing It is Valerie's frank account of her life backstage and in the spotlight. Here are the ups and downs of teen stardom, of her complicated marriage to a brilliant, tormented musical genius, and of her very public struggle with her weight. Surprising, uplifting, and empowering, Losing It takes you behind the scenes of Valerie's acting career and marriage, recalling the comforts, friendships, and problems of her television family, her close relationships with her parents and brothers, the stress and worries of being the wife of a rock star, and the joys of motherhood. Like many women, Valerie often remembers the state of her life by the food she ate and the numbers on her scale. So despite her celebrity, Valerie's voice is so down-to-earth, honest, and appealing that you'll feel as if you're talking with a girlfriend over coffee. Funny and candid, Valerie recounts her attempts to maintain a healthy self-image while dealing with social pressures to look and act a certain way, and to overcome career insecurities and relationship problems, all of which will be familiar to the hundreds of thousands of women who struggle every day with these same issues. From marital turmoil to the joys of a new career, from being named among Penthouse's ten sexiest women in the world to overhearing whispers about her weight gain in the grocery store, this is Valerie's inspiring journey as she finds new love, raises a terrific kid, and motivates other women as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig.

Pages : 272
Book Description
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Dow discusses a wide variety of television programming and provides specific case studies of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, One Day at a Time, Designing Women, Murphy Brown, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. She juxtaposes analyses of genre, plot, character development, and narrative structure with the larger debates over feminism that took place at the time the programs originally aired. Dow emphasizes the power of the relationships among television entertainment, news media, women's magazines, publicity, and celebrity biographies and interviews in creating a framework through which television viewers "make sense" of both the medium's portrayal of feminism and the nature of feminism itself.

Channeling Violence
Author: James T. Hamilton
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691228310
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
"If it bleeds, it leads." The phrase captures television news directors' famed preference for opening newscasts with the most violent stories they can find. And what is true for news is often true for entertainment programming, where violence is used as a product to attract both viewers and sponsors. In this book, James Hamilton presents the first major theoretical and empirical examination of the market for television violence. Hamilton approaches television violence in the same way that other economists approach the problem of pollution: that is, as an example of market failure. He argues that television violence, like pollution, generates negative externalities, defined as costs borne by others than those involved in the production activity. Broadcasters seeking to attract viewers may not fully bear the costs to society of their violent programming, if those costs include such factors as increased levels of aggression and crime in society. Hamilton goes on to say that the comparison to pollution remains relevant when considering how to deal with the problem. Approaches devised to control violent programming, such as restricting it to certain times and rating programs according to the violence they contain, have parallels in zoning and education policies designed to protect the environment. Hamilton examines in detail the microstructure of incentives that operate at every level of television broadcasting, from programming and advertising to viewer behavior, so that remedies can be devised to reduce violent programming without restricting broadcasters' right to compete.
