Archangel Uriel has the ability to help us see things clearly.  In a world where we have so much energy swirling around us via the news, friends, family, and career, it is easy for our vision to be clouded.  Look to Archangel Uriel to cast a new light on any subject matter you may be wrestling with and ask for his Divine guidance in seeing the situation clearly.

Relationships with others can cause confusion, especially when they are romantic in nature.  A person you like can seem warm and inviting and then the next day cold and distant.  By asking to see things clearly, Archangel Uriel can help you make a decision as to whether pursuing the relationship will benefit you.  The key is to be open and accept what you see. Your Angels and Guides can help support you with this process.

In our current job market, letting go of a job that is no longer aligned with you may seem fool-hardy.  But, staying in a job that’s become stagnant blocks your progress as well.  This is another instance where you can call on Archangel Uriel to help you see another path and another way.

Be in the silence of knowing that all is in Divine Order and that you are exactly where you need to be in this moment.  What are you learning?  What do you see?  Do you need a little more light?  Allow Archangel Uriel to help you focus on your God within.  In doing so, there will be peace and a crystal clear path for you to follow!

So how many of you have seen the movie 2012?  I have not, but from what I gather it is a film about mass disaster around the world caused by climate change and the “end” of world.  I must admit, I have always been drawn to disaster movies because I really appreciate special effects, but I have also always thought they are not the best movies for people that may take them literally.

In short, if you can see them as a 2-hour “no brainer” movie, great, but if they instill fear and dread, then that is not the best energy to put out into the Universe.

Interestingly, this month we are featuring Archangel Uriel.  Uriel helps us deal with natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, and floods.  We can ask him to protect us from these events or prevent them if need-be.  We can also call on Archangel Uriel to help us prepare for these events if they happen and most importantly, keep us free from fear of what could happen.Remember, fear simply feeds fear and by being prepared, you can avert a lot of anxiety and free yourself from thinking the worst.

When we call on Archangel Uriel for this particular issue, we can ask him to keep us steady and clear in the event of an emergency and to illuminate our paths with the beautiful Light of God he carries.

Breathe in the security that Archangel Uriel has to offer.  Follow his guidance when it comes to being prepared and live your life, embracing every moment or every day!

The NME got in on the act early. This Sunday the Observer Music Monthly publishes its top 50. So I thought I might as well have a go. I wanted to get mine done first and see how much common ground I’ve got with the OMM seeing as its my favourite music mag. It’s harder than you’d think to select just 50 albums that span 2000-2009. I’ve had to leave out some records I really like. But here we go… Please comment as you feel necessary!

13 – Ray Lamontagne: Til The Sun Turns Black.

12 – Death Cab For Cutie: Narrow Stairs.

11 – Idlewild: The Remote Part.

10 – Johnny Cash: American IV: The Man Comes Around

An extraordinary achievement for a man in his final year. Johnny Cash’s last ‘proper’ album has the power to bring me to the edge of tears. I bought it the week he died in 2003 and played it a lot. A mixture of originals and covers, Rick Rubin’s brilliant production means there’s pathos dripping from every track. ‘Hurt’ is one of the songs of the decade which couldn’t even be ruined by that dire Nike advert. When I first heard ‘I Hung My Head’ it stopped me dead in my tracks. Just like most of the rest of this awesome album.

9 - Interpol: Turn On The Bright Lights.

I think there’s a good case to be made for Interpol as the band of the decade. To my shame I’m yet to see them live but their three dark, brooding and melodic albums demand that I get round to it soon. I think their debut is the pick of the bunch. Starting with ‘Untitled’ which takes its cues from the shoegazing bands of the early 90’s, the album goes onto channel the best of My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division and classic Krautrock. I suppose it can be said about all the records in the list but I can’t listen to this album too many times. It sends me to sleep, it wakes me up and generally soundtracks my life.

8 – Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend.

The drums alone deserve some kind of award. Chris Tomson is, for my money, the best drummer in a rock band at the moment. But this isn’t Keith Moon fury, or John Bonham theatrics. He sees the drum kit as a melodic and harmonic instrument. The kit is a lead instrument here and when allied to fantastic songwriting, it’s a winning combination. The African influence if overstated (this isn’t even the noughties’ Graceland, let alone Fela Kuti or Ali Farka Touré). However, the hints of afrobeat are enough to make this stand out from the crowd. Walcott is a great track – but there aren’t any duds here.

7 – Grandaddy: The Sophtware Slump.

This outstanding record is often compared favourably with ‘OK Computer’. Well, I’ll put my cards on the table. There’s only one winner; and it isn’t Radiohead. Grandaddy are impossible to categorise, but this record combines the best bits of alt-country, electronica and post-rock. The audacity of a 9 minute opening track has been matched by many bands. The difference is they’ve not made a song as arresting as ‘He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s The Pilot’. ‘The Crystal Lake’ is among the best songs of the decade while ‘Undreneath The Weeping Willow’ showcases a brilliant knack for melancholy. Released at the start of the decade, very few records have got anywhere near matching Grandaddy’s Magnum Opus.

6 – The Hold Steady: Boys And Girls in America.

‘Best bar band in the world blah… blah… blah’ said the music press. Talk about damning with faint praise. The Hold Steady are one of the greatest bands of the 21st Century, full stop. And though their earlier albums are packed with gems, this breakthrough album sees their manifesto fulfilled. How many bands could start a record quoting Jack Kerouac but never fail to be fun? The sound was compared to classic E Street Band and that’s probably as close as you can get to describing this joyous racket. Craig Finn’s lyrics are always interesting and frequently brilliant. So looking at our checklist we’ve got superb music, superb lyrics and some guys that seem delighted just to be playing rock and roll. It’ll do for me.

5 – Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid.

I suppose too much has already been written about this album. It’d be easy to include ‘Asleep In The Back’ to prove I’ve liked Elbow since I used to play them on student radio in 2000. But that would miss the point: for once, the awards committees, journalists and hype-merchants got it right. This is an amazing album. There’s not an average track in sight in an hour’s running time. Picking highlights almost seems crazy, but ‘Grounds For Divorce’ and ‘On A Day Like This’ have deservedly grabbed the headlines and soundtracked a million daytime DIY programmes. But some of the less well know tracks contain stunning music and lyrics. When Guy Garvey croons ”We kiss like we invented it” on ‘Mirrorball’ it’s enough to melt your heart.  We await their next move with eager anticipation.

4 - Midlake: The Trials of Van Occupanther.

Take a moderately successful Texan indie band and give them a copy of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’. Stand well back and light the blue touch-paper. Doesn’t sound promising does it? How wrong could we be??? This was THE album of 2006. Inventive harmonies, layered synths and lyrics pining for the antebellum South came together to produce a stunning record. The guitar solo that comes halfway through ‘Head Home’ is one of my favourite musical moments of the decade, but this album contains several contenders for that title. The real genius of ‘…Van Occupanther’ is its ability to keep you on your toes. Just when you think it may slip into mid 70’s FM rock pastiche, the band pulls out a track like ‘Young Bride’ which forces you to admit this is a record which is far more than the sum of its considerable parts.

3 – Damien Rice: O.

David Gray is a perfectly decent singer songwriter. The same can’t be said for the likes of James Morrison and James Blunt. But how any of them came to be spoken of in the same breath as Damien Rice is beyond me. The irishman deserves to be in far better company (Jeff Buckley for example). This debut album was a slow-burning word-of-mouth behemoth that managed to retain artistic dignity while being offered on 2-for-1 deals in Tesco. Its strengths have been repeated endlessly, but any blogger who can’t find room for Lisa Hannigan’s beautiful vocals, the stunning string arrangements or the strange re-working of Silent Night is a fool. If this album has a flaw, I’m yet to find it. I can’t pick one track as a highlight because the others simply look at me reproachfully and say ‘actually we’re all rather lovely’. And they truly are.

2 – My Morning Jacket: It Still Moves.

This album sounds like the best party you’ve ever been to. If you want to label it I suppose it’s alt-country. But what on earth does that matter when the music is as much fun as this? Don’t get the idea this is some kind of comedy record though. Howling vocals, squealing guitars and pounding drums fuse together to create a brilliant racket. ‘One Big Holiday’ has a guitar hook to die for, but this isn’t an album of simple pleasures. The genius of the songs reveals itself slowly. The first time you hear it, it sounds like these are well crafted and edited jams. But like Led Zep at their peak, the tracks are more cunningly moulded than that. Crazy Horse are another reference point and when talking about a rock and roll band there are fewer bigger compliments than that. It’s a long record (71 minutes) but unusually for an album of that length, it doesn’t outstay its welcome. Superb.

1 – Stephen Fretwell: Magpie.

I’m annoyed I couldn’t find a decent picture of this album without the parental advisory sticker on it. Ok, maybe it doesn’t make an ideal present for a toddler, but any parent who’s doing their job properly should be investing in this if their child shows any kind of serious interest in music. It’s as close to a perfect record as its possible to get. At the start of the decade, Scunthorpe’s Stephen Fretwell found himself in Manchester as a promising singer-songwriter. A little while later, he was in a recording studio creating some of the most beautiful music that great city has ever produced. By 2004 it was ready for release. In reality, the Manchester thing is a bit of a red herring. Fretwell owes little to the genius of the Smiths and Joy Division or the more prosaic talents of Oasis. He’s just a good old-fashioned acoustic troubadour. So who are the key influences here? I’d guess Neil Young, Bob Dylan et al. But that doesn’t tell you much about this record’s greatest strength. Fretwell’s gift for melody is astounding. Songs like ‘Emily’, ‘New York’ and ‘Rose’ are beautifully crafted and sung. But there isn’t a track here which leaves you cold. You may know ’Run’ as the Theme of ‘Gavin and Stacey’ but don’t stop there. Investigate it immediately. Buy it and love it. There’s only one album of the decade after all; whatever the Observer says!

This day is a good day. Its actually started late afternoon. I didn’t expect I would think of doing this sweetness I call. For I actually spend few pesos just to make a girl smile at me.

About five in the afternoon, I asked someone to get few papers I need for graduation, one of these is this girl. This not an ordinary act that I usually do for a girl but this one is a bit special. Yes, I admit it she’s special. I love her since we first met but I haven’t told her what I feel about until this day comes. No words even actions can express what I feel for this girl. Until I got this simple yet perfect day to ‘propose’. I had to get a cake care of Red Ribbon, a simple well lets just say

uncompatible card though. I put some words inside, sealed it and thats it! yay~ I remember when I did something like this few months prior to this date. Anyhow, I don’t want release it again as past is past na. So back, as I am saying earlier the day is perfect, eventhough she didn’t got something for me but still I got a part of her, and its her time. With the help of my bestfriend I got the moment. Yay~ swweeett!

Hay, it shouldn’t be my priority this day yet I guess that counts as one of. It was an ohhlala day, wish for more and probably get a chance, you know..

Alyson Stoner keeps it cute in an LBD as she arrives at the premiere of Old Dogs held at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood on Monday night (November 9).

The 16-year-old actress recently caught up with JJJ and told us a bit about her upcoming flick, Step Up 3D.

Alyson shared, “The choreography and the dance battles are eye-popping, mind-blowing excitement from start to finish. It’s crazy what they’ve come up with – the special effects and the 3-D technology really adds another layer to it. This is a legitimate dance movie too! It isn’t cheesy…for the most part…and I haven’t seen many of them, but I know that this one isn’t going to be cheesy.”

ALSO, Alyson chatted with Seventeen Magazine not too long ago about her character Camille in the new Step Up movie as well as MOOSE!

Alyson is currently in New York filming Step Up 3D, the first dance movie in 3D technology. “I play Camille, Tyler Gage’s little sister and now Moose’s best friend who’s been accepted into NYU. She’s planning to pursue that area and hopefully grow closer to Moose because she’s secretly madly in love with him.”

As the end of the fall sports season approaches, the Girls tennis team has won the majority of their games . Holding second place in their league, team captain senior Jeanette Weber and coaches Michael Alarcon ‘s and Vincent Salumbides’s hard work has certainly paid off.

To prepare for the season, tennis conditioning began in early July, which the team did not have last year. “Tennis is a sport that involves a lot of running and conditioning helped a lot of the new players prepare for that. It also helped the people who are somewhat new to tennis learn the fundamentals and basics of the game, which helped everything run smoother,” Jeanette Weber said.

Last year, El Camino’s girls’ tennis team barely surpassed third place and ended their season in a three way tie for second place in league. Half Moon Bay High School is the first place team and is currently undefeated. The Lady Colts are the only contenders for the second place slot with only three losses. Thanks to a few key players like Weber with eleven wins and one loss and sophomore Danica Alfajora with seven wins and five losses in league, the Lady Colts have had a successful season.

Encontrei, mais uma vez ao acaso, na famosa blogotheque, mais um dos por vezes estranhos “concerts a emporter”. Da artista Camille já eu tinha postado há uns meses atrás um pequeno post, pela sua “criatividade”, mas desta vez é mesmo a sua voz que me supreende.  Muito afinadinha, supreende, sobretudo, pelo quase sussurro em que a sua voz por vezes se torna. Recentemente, a artista juntou-se a um outro performer, de seu nome Piers Faccini, para mim totalmente desconhecido, (embora tenha uma voz parecida com James Taylor) e decidiram fazer umas covers de duas canções de artistas britânicos: Sandy Denny e Nick Drake. Melancólicos, é certo, mas não menos belos por isso, as duas covers demonstram que é possível dar uma nova roupagem, sem estragar o espírito das versões originais. Posso continuar a gostar mais da versão de Nick Drake, mas é capaz de haver quem goste mais desta a duas vozes. Vejam lá se vocês gostam também!
