For the Ohio State men's basketball point guard Aaron Craft, his commitments on the court and in his faith keep him focused, humble and involved.
"I choose to be a Christian, a student and then an athlete," Craft said.
Craft is involved in Athletes in Action, a Christian ministry for student athletes at OSU.
"Basically we meet for bible studies, and have weekly meetings we encourage our teammates to come to," he said. "An athlete gives their testimony on how God is working in their life."
Craft said priorities in his life have come a long way since last year. He said his faith helps keep him grounded and reassures him he is here for a reason bigger than sports.
"Something we say in AIA is we are not athletes who happen to be Christians, we are Christians that happen to be athletes," he said.
Eric Dates, a third-year in hospitality management and member of the OSU men's volleyball team, said Craft's leadership is "one of a kind."
"He is very charismatic when he gives his testimony at AIA and he is definitely strong in his faith," Dates said.
Growing up, Craft's family slept in on Sundays and it wasn't until his junior year of high school that he started attending church and bible study with his girlfriend. When he came to college, his journey in faith continued with the help of former OSU basketball player Jon Diebler.
Diebler introduced Craft, as a freshman, to AIA.
"This year I especially started learning and growing in my faith," Craft said. "Jon is like a big brother to me. He opened my eyes to the bigger picture."
Craft, now a sophomore, is respected by teammates and some fans as well.
"Aaron is a leader, what you see is what you get," said senior guard William Buford. "He is a great teammate and a great guy to be around."
Others outside the locker room, agree.
"Aaron is an outstanding team player and hustler," said Block "O" member Dustin Stinson. "He seems like a humble athlete, which is rare to find."
Craft said that "knowing we are working for eternal things not temporal" helps him reach out to teammates.
"It's so much better to wake up knowing we are here for a reason. It's not just a day to get through; it's a day full of new opportunities," Craft said.
Now that the season has arrived, bringing the team four freshmen, Craft said he feels like he has a leadership role that needs to be taken on confidently.
"Last year after we lost in the spring, coach (Thad Matta) said 'I have all the confidence in the world in you. You can't let me have more confidence in you than yourself.' How awesome is it that he puts his trust in me," Craft said.
Craft said this helped him relax while being a leader this year. There are only two returning starters on this year's squad, Buford and sophomore forward Jared Sullinger. Dallas Lauderdale, David Lighty and Diebler all graduated last year.
"Will (Buford), Jared (Sullinger), Deshaun (Thomas) and myself are not trying to replace them — because you can't — but pick up the pieces of what they did," Craft said. "We learned from the greatest guys in the nation in leadership and what it takes to win basketball games and run a team."
Craft is a second-year in health professions exploration, whose favorite subjects include math and science.
"When I was a little tyke growing up I wanted to play professional football," Craft said. "Now I plan on eventually going to medical school."
Right now Craft said he hasn't thought too much about professional basketball, but if the opportunity presents itself, he's "going for it."
Craft said the only way to take advantage of what this "awesome" university has to offer is to get involved. Because of all OSU has given to him, Craft said he feels it's important to give back.
Craft just joined the Student Athlete Academic Board to represent the men's basketball team and sponsor teacher luncheons and he also attends Real Life events on Thursdays when he has the time, which is another Bible study.
Craft's favorite bible verse is Romans 5:8, which reads, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this; while we are still sinners, Christ died for us."
He said this has made him realize that everything comes down to is God.
"That's the biggest thing that keeps me humble and keeps things in perspective for me," Craft said. "It's going on my basketball shoe this year."
OSU opened play against Wright State on Friday, in which they won 73-42. OSU takes on No. 7 ranked Florida Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Schottenstein Center.

"Once you set sail on the high crag, the long journey never ends."
-Rock Jocks, Wall Rats and Hang Dogs by John Long
Climbing has a magnetic attraction to it. Many avid climbers, especially in their younger days base their entire lives around it. They work hard and save money, only to quit their jobs and spend all the money climbing. Some create their social circles around climbing, all their friends are climbers and all they talk about is climbing.
Obsession is one word that comes to mind when I think of the climbers who eat, drink and sleep for another day in the vertical. When one finds his or herself in the middle of this obsession, the question why? is often asked. This question is as old as the pursuit. George Mallory's "because it's there" is the shortest, most often referred to answer.
This winter, during what is the most reflective season, I found myself thinking about a much simpler question, "When does the rock climbing season begin and end?"
During a recent climbing session I posed this question to my best friend, Two Tent Timmy. Tim has stopped off in Durango to sample the climbing, and in the time he's been here we've climbed several days locally, and we've also got seven days in at the nearby, crack Mecca of the world, Indian Creek.
Tim's initial reply was that there is no beginning and end to the climbing season. I thought about it, and agreed in some sense. At the end of the year climbers are down in El Portrero Chico in Mexico in hordes to celebrate the holidays. Others are out in Joshua Tree in southern California, and some are out at Red Rocks in Las Vegas. I've heard climbing can be good in the south down at Red River Gorge in Kentucky that time of year as well. I know some climbers who are taking refuge in the tropical climate of Thailand.
So the reality is that the climbing season doesn't ever really have to end. A blessing, because other outdoor adventure sports (for the lack of a better word), such as skiing depend heavily on weather conditions. If it doesn't snow, skiing sucks. On that flip side of that many mountain town residents know skiers who will try to ski for every month of the year. Those who have passion for something will find a way to do what they need to, in order to pursue what they love.

After this conversation with Tim I came up with my own definition for the climbing season, or at least an optimistic, idealistic definition. The climbing season begins and ends around the holidays. Specifically one season ends right around Christmas, and begins with New Years. Add that up and the rock climbing season amounts to 358 days for a year, or 51 weeks.
My reasoning here is I like to spend the holidays with my family back in the Midwest. That week is really the only time period I can guarantee that I'm not going to touch the rock. The rest of the year, God-willing, I hope to go rock climbing at least once a week.
It gets deeper. Most climbers don't rock climb year round. They don't need to, or they are involved with other pursuits, such as skiing or ice climbing, which are obviously more natural activities to pursue in the winter months. I've given both skiing and ice climbing a shot, and they just simply don't do it for me. Nor does climbing plastic in the gym, I'll put in a couple days a year in the gym, and it's good for a pump, but it cannot replace real rock and the outdoor experience, just as masturbation cannot replace sex (or at least good sex).
Additionally, I also suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Winter is typically the time of year when I am most likely to be depressed and unhealthy. Memories of winters when I stopped climbing are filled with sugar products, alcohol, way too much of the ganja, and long hours in front of the television. I've found that the greatest cure for my SAD is exercise, and of all the outdoor activities I participate in, climbing makes me feel the best.
Now that I've outlined all of this, it's time to get to the heart of it, winter climbing and its romance. Where I'm living now, in Durango, Colorado, the climate lends itself greatly to winter climbing. If it's sunny and above freezing winter climbing is not an act of desperation, but rather a chance to experience climbing in all its glory. Many days this past January I've found myself at the Golf Wall, a local sport climbing area, where at just the right time of day one can bask in the sun, in the heat, and the temperatures are perfect, even begging one to take his shirt off. And, when all of these factors align, any feelings of depression melt away like the snow at the top of the Golf Wall on a sunny day.

Another blessing of Durango is its proximity to the crack climbing Mecca that is Indian Creek. Two and a half hours from Durango and you're there, and the same rules seem to apply to the Creek, if it's sunny and above freezing climbing is going to be comfortable, and dreamy.
Indian Creek is also free of crowds during the winter. Now one of America's more popular crags, for good reason, the Creek gets a good amount of traffic during its so-called "on season". During the off-season, the winter, a climbing party can have even the most classic of walls, all to their selves. I am a social person, and I love people, but something about climbing on some of the most classic, beautiful cracks, with only your partner and God (and the ravens) watching is just downright magical.

And it's this magic that we're always trying to find in climbing right? The feeling that comes together with good friendship, physical activity, sunshine, fresh air, overcoming fear, and the beautiful struggle that is climbing…
We're in a bit of a cold spell in Durango as I write this. Last night it was negative 16 degrees. But, the weather forecast is looking to get warmer in the upcoming days. Already after only a few days I'm itching to get out and climbing again. Some of you reading this have perhaps not tasted this majesty in longer than you would like. The longer the wait has been, the sweeter it will probably be when you finally touch rock again. Regardless, if you're pining for rock climbing I hope your season begins sooner than later.

The biological condition of homeostasis inspired this processing applet that would respond to real world stimuli and then in-turn produce a real world artifact.
Circular nodes arranged in a ring creating a torus mesh. Each node responds to changes in the nodes adjacent and so the form is perpetually balanced within a kind of homeostasis.
The torus with a uniformly deformed node creating an intersecting internal volume. When the amplitude of a single node is changed the entire mesh moves to compensate.
A single node responding to audio input. The resulting intersections redefine internal-external surfaces.
The result of an intentional error in the flow of the system, whereby nodes swap cells with other nodes. This compounding error results in spikes that permanently deform the mesh.
A dynamic three dimensional spline is built by progressively applying rotation values to each node.
The applet analyses a video feed and detects motion, returning values relative to how much movement there is within the frame and at what speed.
The frame is divided into four quadrants, each assigned to a direction of rotation. Repetitive movement in a single quadrant will eventually result in a tightly wound spiral form.
Audio input combined with the values derived from motion creates a form that reacts to both sight and sound within a space.
One individual snapshot was selected and used as the schematic for the contruction of a physical intervention within the original site.
The amplitude of each node was taken and used to create a jig that was then cast in plaster, producing varying results depending on the behaviour of the wet plaster and the plastic film mold.
This process gives the form significance as a physical artifact, in that it becomes redefined by its material qualities.

New Delhi: As the young paramedic student battles for her life at a hospital in Singapore, where she was airlifted on Wednesday night, doubts have been raised as to why the gangrape survivor was shifted there for treatment.
"There must be a lot of considerations as to why she was moved - political, social, emotional - but medically, I think it is sad that we send people like her to other countries when there are facilities here. Shifting such a dangerously ill patient was incorrect," Samiran Nundy, a doctor at Delhi's Ganga Ram Hospital said. "If she was my patient, I would not have shifted her," Dr Nundy added.
The survivor, who continues to be extremely critical at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, was airlifted on Wednesday night in a sudden move, along with a team of doctors and her family members. Apart from massive abdominal injuries, she also suffering from major brain injuries.
Asked whether airlifting a patient who is susceptible to a lot of infection was a good move, Dr Nundy said, "I don't think the infection was the problem. Mainly, the blood pressure and the oxygen going into the blood would have been the main problem."
The 23-year-old woman was brutally beaten with iron rods and then raped by half-a-dozen men in a moving bus on December 16. She has been battling with a host of internal injuries and doctors at Safdarjung Hospital, where she had been getting treatment before she was moved to Singapore, had performed three complex surgeries on her, including the one where they removed her gangrenous intestines.

Munster SHC: rampant Rebels ease into Munster final
June 23, 2013
Clare's Nicky O'Connell and William Egan of Cork.
©INPHO/Cathal Noonan.
Cork 0-23
Clare 0-15
Cork outscored Clare by 0-15 to 0-4 in the second half to qualify for next month's Munster SHC final against Limerick in impressive fashion.
Beaten by the Banner three times already this year, Jimmy Barry-Murphy's revitalised Rebels ripped up the formbook with a devastating second half display to leave themselves just 70 minutes away from their first provincial title since 2006 and their 52nd in all.
Clare, who had relegated Cork to Division 1B of Allianz League in the spring and had the benefit of a quarter-final win over Waterford, led by 0-11 to 0-8 after playing with the wind in the opening half. But they had no answer to their injury-hit opponents after the restart. Patrick Horgan top-scored with 0-8 as the Rebels turned on the style and gave their supporters in the 19,049 attendance at the Gaelic Grounds plenty to cheer about.
The game turned decisively in the Rebels' favour in the third quarter when they shot eight points without reply to take a firm grip on proceedings. This scoring burst knocked the stuffing out of the pre-match favourites who will rue their failure to take any one of four guilt-edged goal-scoring opportunities that came their way.
They also posted 10 wides (one more than Cork) and, with such a young team, it's going to be difficult for manager Davy Fitzgerald to get Clare back in the All-Ireland race after this shattering defeat.
Cork won the toss and elected to play against the strong breeze in the opening half. Patrick Horgan had the opening score in the fourth minute, but it was immediately cancelled out by Podge Collins at the other end after he blocked down William Egan's attempted clearance.
When Conor O'Sullivan was issued with a yellow card for upending Collins just outside the 20-metre line, Tony Kelly stepped up to take the free with nothing but a goal on his mind. But his shot was saved by Anthony Nash and, in the ensuing goalmouth scramble, the ball went out for a '65 which Colin Ryan nailed to give the Banner the lead for the first time with nine minutes played.
A couple of minutes later, Colm Galvin fielded a Nash puck-out and sent the ball straight back over the bar as Davy Fitzgerald's men settled to their task. Darach Honan, who gave his marker Stephen McDonnell lots of problems early on, scored two points - the second of which could easily have been a goal - either side of a Daniel Kearney effort to push Clare into a 0-5 to 0-2 lead.
But the Rebels hit back with a great individual point from Luke O'Farrell and another from debutant Seamus Harmedy to leave just the minimum in it at the end of the first quarter.
Conor McGrath punished a Christopher Joyce mistake when he whipped over Clare's sixth point. Pat Horgan replied from a free after he was fouled himself, only for McGrath to hit back with his second score in as many minutes.
The Banner suffered a big blow in the 20th minute when key forward John Conlon was forced off with a shoulder injury, and was replaced by Aaron Cunningham. Colin Ryan registered their fifth wide before Horgan scored a classic Cork point to leave two between the sides again, 0-6 to 0-8.
Wearing number 24, Podge Collins showed great perseverance to split the posts before pouncing on a poor hand-pass by the experienced Tom Kenny to rack up his third point inside the first half an hour.
Clare extended their advantage to four points when midfielder Galvin pointed on the run before Cork introduced Jamie Coughlan for Stephen Moylan. Conor Lehane, who had a quiet first half by his standards, had the Rebels' fourth point before Colin Ryan and Cork 'keeper Anthony Nash exchanged frees to leave it a three-point game at the interval.
With the wind to their backs, Cork came flying out of the starting blocks for the second half. Substitute Coughlan latched onto a long ball and pointed before Horgan sent over another free he had manufactured himself. Anthony Nash saved at his near post to deny Darach Honan a goal before Conor Lehane set up William Egan for the equaliser in the 40th minute.
Clare passed up another goal chance when Conor McGrath fired wide after Pat Donnellan had put a high ball in behind the Cork defence. Those misses by Honan and McGrath came back to haunt the losers as the fired-up Rebels hit the front for the first time since the ninth minute when Seamus Harmedy slotted over from close to the right sideline in the 46th minute.
The Clare management - who replaced free-taker Colin Ryan with Fergal Lynch - were powerless to halt Cork's growing momentum as Horgan (free) and Coughlan pushed them into a 0-14 to 0-11 lead by the 50th minute.
It was all Cork now as Cian McCarthy and Horgan (free) tagged on further points before Podge Collins registered Clare's first score of the second half in the 53rd minute. But there was no respite for the Banner as Horgan (free), Luke O'Farrell and Conor Lehane kept the scoreboard operator busy.
The outstanding Harmedy hammered another nail into Clare's coffin with his third point before the subdued Tony Kelly raised his only white flag of the afternoon. On as a substitute for Cian McCarthy, Cork captain Pa Cronin got in on the scoring act and 'keeper Nash knocked over his second free.
Clare substitute Seadna Morey was denied a goal by Nash before another sub, Shane O'Donnell, pointed. But the rampant Rebels had the final say when Horgan fired over his eighth point in injury-time.
Scorers - Cork: P Horgan 0-8 (5f), S Harnedy 0-3, A Nash (2f), C Lehane, L O'Farrell & J Coughlan 0-2 each, W Egan, D Kearney, C McCarthy & P Cronin 0-1 each. Clare: P Collins 0-5, D Honan, C Ryan (1f, 1 65), C Galvin & C McGrath 0-2 each, T Kelly and S O'Donnell 0-1 each.

DUP MLA Carla Lockhart and Cllr Paul Greenfield have welcomed progress on the commencement of the new skate park in Banbridge's Solitude Park area.
This has been a long awaited for facility and one that residents are keen to see up and running for the children and young people of the area. They said: "It has been a desire to see this completed as soon as possible since taking up of office and we are delighted that the pressure applied has assisted in its delivery."
"We are delighted that progress has been made and would commend the officer concerned who has worked tirelessly to cut through the red tape caused by Rivers Agency and their concerns around flood plains.
"Planning approval was awarded at the beginning of the month and it is anticipated that there will be a 12/14 week lead in time with the contractors, and a further seven weeks for construction. We would be very hopeful that December would see its completion however weather conditions may or may not cause a change to this schedule.
"This is a great facility for the young people of the area. It is one that will help provide a safe environment for them to hang out, to keep fit and to develop their own skateboarding skills. The investment will amount to over £100,000 which is a superb investment in the town."

Carrie Roberts, Senior Consultant at Medicine Man Technologies (MDCL:OTC US)
We had a potential client approach us wanting to retrofit an abandoned mine (18,400,000 sq. ft.), capable of producing 3 millions pounds of cannabis annually for domestic and international exportation. This would be the largest cultivation facility in Western Canada. They didn't actually have funding for this "envisioned" project, so they also wanted us to write their business plan and do all of the design work for free. Half the battle of consulting in the cannabis industry is managing client expectations.
Steve Gormley, Managing Partner/CEO at Seventh Point LLC
I would say that one of the craziest experiences I've had in a meeting with some cannabis industry entrepreneurs occurred in LA last winter. I was in a meeting where the dispensary license holder was speaking to me in Mandarin, the cultivator was speaking to me in Spanish, the landlord in Russian and the real estate agent was speaking to me in French. They all wanted to keep information from the other and were all talking at once.

All the trials and triumphs of building a business – delivered to your inbox.
When doing the initial planning for the growery, we needed to conduct some research to determine which strains to include. Strain selection is critical to the success of our business, so we took a trip to Jamaica to inspect a number of potential specimens in person. When returning to the United States, I got a little too close to a drug dog which must have smelt some smoke on me from before I left Jamaica. After spending an entire night explaining to the police that I had no reason to traffic drugs into the country as I had my own growery in Colorado, they finally let me go with no charges pressed.

The moments that stick out are the captive audiences I have had the unique opportunity to educate. These include the Joint Committee on Taxation at the U.S. Senate, the Conference of Western Attorney Generals or even the Government of Colombia. Ten years ago I would never have imagined that parties such as these would actively be seeking information around how cannabinoid based compounds may lead to monumental medical breakthroughs.

Tim Tebow's response to the worst game of his career was what you would expect coming from him. He thanked the man upstairs and talked about how excited he was to celebrate Christmas today. He smiled through the tough questions, never wavered and wished everyone a happy holiday.
No surprise there. Tebow is a class act and consummate role model who wouldn't lose his temper, use foul language or criticize anyone. He showed no anger after the Bills sent him back to Denver with a stocking full of coal, a 40-14 walloping in Ralph Wilson Stadium that interrupted the Broncos' march toward the playoffs.
Instead, he left in peace.
"First and foremost, I want to thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ," Tebow said in his opening remarks. "Isn't it great that no matter what, win or lose, we have a chance to celebrate my lord and savior's birth tomorrow. That's pretty cool. It's something I'm very excited about, celebrating Christmas. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Tebow is a good man who is polished in every aspect of his life but one: His ability to play quarterback in the NFL. Heaven help his performance Saturday. The Bills exposed his flaws when it comes to making good decisions and accuracy. He had been hailed as a savior but looked lost in the Broncos' biggest game of the year.
Yes, I know, it's Christmas. I might be a tad critical at times, but I'm no Grinch, either. Breaking down Tebow's performance Saturday feels dirty, like ripping Santa Claus. It's just that one of them happens to be a myth when it comes to job performance, and it's not the potbellied man in the red suit. It's the sculpted quarterback wearing No. 15.
The best thing you could say about Tebow on Saturday was that he arrived in the holiday spirit while bearing many gifts. He threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter. He gift-wrapped the Bills' 26-point lead, and Buffalo's win, with less than eight minutes remaining in the game.
"You have to give them a lot of credit," Tebow said. "They played well, they executed and they came up with big plays. I just have to do a better job of not giving them opportunities. I was just trying to make something happen. I just forced it."
Tebow completed just 13 of 30 passes for 185 yards and had a 35.4 passer rating, which wasn't what the Broncos needed while fighting for a playoff spot. They'll be alive next week when they play Kansas City and Kyle Orton, the man Tebow replaced in Denver. The Broncos aren't going anywhere unless Tebow shows dramatic improvement.
Of course, it was easy to get caught up in the hype. Tebow had 11 touchdown passes and two interceptions entering the game. He had five fourth-quarter comebacks this season and six in his career, the most by any NFL quarterback through 12 starts, but he had a better chance of walking on water than producing the miracle required to overcome the fourth-quarter deficit Saturday.
The only reason he had for dropping to one knee Saturday was to beg for mercy from the Bills' defense, which had three sacks and kept him under siege all day.
"We get flustered and everything with one game," Tebow said. "Ultimately, it's just a game. I'm thankful that I can try and keep things in perspective of what really matters."
Questions remain about his ability to lead his team to the postseason promised land. He crumbled under the pressure Saturday. He threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter, when he usually does his best work. He thought he could bring his team back again but was greeted by a number of firsts.
Saturday marked the first time he threw three interceptions in one game on any level, and he ended up with four. He was picked off for touchdowns on consecutive plays, a first. He was intercepted on the road for the first time in his NFL career after 117 attempts. He lost back-to-back NFL starts for the first time.
"It's still frustrating," he said, "but it's something my mom taught me a long time ago: Give your praise to the lord and give your disappointments to the lord. It's the No. 1 way I can deal with it. [Today], I still get to celebrate my savior's birth. I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future. It's something that gives me a lot of peace and a lot of comfort when there might be a lot of turbulence around me."

Ravens are common characters in the traditional narratives and mythology around the world.
In Old Norse religion Odin the Allfather had in his service two ravens. These ravens' names were Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory). They flew around Midgard in search of news and information to return to the mighty god. At the end of their journey they would sit on his shoulders and whisper into his ears all that they had seen and heard.

Oman's rail project on track
Work on Oman's national rail network – part of a wider system linking all the countries of the GCC – is picking up pace, with advanced planning work now under way and construction set to begin next year.
The state-owned Oman National Railway Company recently announced it was opening the pre-qualification tender to provide infrastructure and information technology systems for the initial stage of the 2244-km network. The tender, open to local and foreign bidders, covers the construction of the first section, which runs from the border with the UAE at Al Buraimi to the port of Sohar. The projected cost of this phase is around $2.6bn, with the expense of the full project expected to amount to $15bn.
Ahead of the opening of the pre-qualification process, Oman had sealed a series of agreements that have laid the groundwork for the railway. Central to this was the awarding of a $36m contract to Italian rail engineering firm Italferr, which is to act as the preliminary design consultant for the project and has already begun work. Construction on the first stages is due to start in early 2015, with contracts set to be tendered for the initial building phase later this year.
To finance at least part of the work, Oman may issue debt of up to $3bn. According to Oman National Railway Company officials, both conventional bonds and sukuk are being considered. Some contracts could be structured as public-private partnerships, with the winning bidders taking on financial and operating risks.
Oman's extended network
The GCC rail network has been in development since 2008, when the member states' transport ministers agreed to undertake a feasibility study. This resulted in an agreement to back the project, which foresaw the construction of a network running up to the Iraqi border and terminating at Muscat.
However, rather than have the final terminus at the capital, Oman's government decided to run the line across the country to the Arabian Sea coast and then down to the Yemeni border, leaving open the option of extending the network further south.
According to Abdulrahman Al Hatmi, one of the directors of the Oman National Railway Company, the decision to carry the network to the industrial port cities of Duqm and Salalah will have a major positive impact on the economy.
While acknowledging that extending the network to the two ports was an expensive proposition, Al Hatmi said the opportunities that would be opened up would more than justify the cost, both in terms of economics and transport security.
"One of the key changes we've made is to connect to Salalah, which is the mouth of the region and will play a major role in transforming the whole logistics map," he told Bloomberg on February 6.
By extending the line to Duqm and Salalah, Oman would offer an alternative route for freight transport should regional tensions disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. More importantly, the rail link will allow Oman's ports on the Arabian Sea and its logistics sector to achieve their full potential. International shipping firms may find it quicker to berth vessels in Omani harbours and have their cargoes shipped across the country by rail to destinations around the region, rather than face delays at congested ports inside the Gulf.
According to Vic Allen, acting CEO of the Oman Airports Management Company, the national rail plans complement Oman's airports expansion project and capitalise on the country's strategic location. "Once the projects are completed, Oman will be well-placed to connect the GCC to African markets," he told OBG.
Vital connections
One challenge facing Oman, at least in the shorter-term, is the uneven progress being made across the Gulf-wide network. Solid headway has been made on some parts of the international grid, including in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, other states have not made such progress. Reports suggest, for example, that Kuwait's section of the network will not be completed before 2019 at the earliest, a year behind schedule.
In the short term, gaps in the network at the regional level would devalue to a degree the ability of the grid to deliver freight quickly and cost effectively. This would be especially costly for Oman, given its ambitions to be the first (or last) station on the line.

Short answer is yes, but. You did not provide a full description of your network. We would really need to know how your network is configured. For example, if you have a VPN between the branch and main office (like router to router not software) then the workstation could find a DC at the main office.

Sweat and Tears
5 comments:
I'll take that first step with you. :) Thank you for a beautiful and thought-provoking post. :)ReplyDelete
That moment of realizing what you are truly capable of is a gift. I know the feeling of frustration when you realize that you could have been doing it all along, and the people that you love could be doing it too. I sobbed like a small child at the end of my first 1/2 marathon as the weight of the occasion sank in. I love you sis, we'll do that marathon together that we always said we would.ReplyDelete
so inspiring! you go girl!! *hugs*!ReplyDelete
Great post Kellee! Every single bite that goes into my mouth is analyzed...so much that it stresses me out a tad, ha ha!!! I am in survival mode as I sure as hell don't like what my oncologist told me my life expectancy was. I am not accepting that-not for a second. I can't believe the way people treat themselves and the garbage that the food industry puts on shelves. They really should be ashamed of themselves but all in the name of money...grrrr! Keep running Kellee, I know I sure am!!! Hugs!ReplyDelete
Gracie, I have been thinking about you since last year? When you said something on SC about having cancer. I have looked to see how you are doing, but couldn't find any external links to a blog or email. I am so glad you have posted here. I would love for you to email me your address, even if the Canadian post is on strike. Speaking honestly here warms my heart at the same time it breaks, knowing the struggle you face. Hugs and prayers to you!ReplyDelete

Statistics suggest that six weeks into the New Year, most resolutions have been broken or forgotten. Resolve is strong, but following through is tougher. We are sick, we get interrupted, we are just plain lazy. Like Bloody Mary says in South Pacific, we may have a dream, but we have no idea how we're going to make that dream come true.
It isn't easy, but here are some ways to help keep your writing resolutions.
1-Write it down. Putting your goal in writing makes it real, something you can strive for. Something you can see. Tape your goals to your monitor so every time you sit down to write, you know what you want to accomplish.
2- It isn't enough to write it down, you need to be specific. Instead of saying I'm going to write a novel this year, say I am going to finish the first draft of my novel by June 1. That gives you something concrete to aim for. Whatever you are working on, be it a short story or a novel, set a deadline, and resolve to stick to it.
3- Create Manageable Chunks. Like money, to be successful, you must budget your time. If you want to finish a draft of your 400-page novel by June 1 and it is now the middle of February, you have approximately 112 days to write 400 pages. You will have to write 3.5 new pages every day in order to finish your draft on time. If you take weekends off, you will have to make up those 7 extra pages sometime during the week. Breaking your task into manageable numbers lets you see what you need to accomplish on a daily basis.
4- Keep a daily calendar. Write down each day what you need to accomplish and refer to your calendar often. Keeping a calendar helps you stay on track.
5- Hold yourself accountable. Unless you have an agent or a publisher, no one stands over you with a whip; you have to be your own taskmaster. Give yourself consequences. You can't read until you finish your daily pages. You can't take in a movie or go out to dinner until you have finished so many chapters. Make your writing a priority. If you don't take yourself seriously, no one else will either.
6- Read as Much as You Write. Great writers are also avid readers. Make it a goal to read as much as you write. If you don't already have one, make a reading list and start knocking those books off one at a time. Read inside your genre and outside your genre to keep yourself knowledgeable and your writing fresh.
7- Publicize Your Goals. Telling others makes you accountable to someone besides yourself. If you have a blog, post your goals for everyone to see. Or call a friend and tell them what you want to accomplish. Then, if you feel lazy or like slacking, not only will you be letting yourself down, you will be letting down the people who are rooting for you.
8- Ask for help. Writing is a lonely and frustrating business. Few of us can keep our writing resolutions without some form of encouragement. If you hit a roadblock, ask for help. Find a writing partner, and call them if you feel stumped. Talking to another person always helps. If you are working on something technical, don't be afraid to ask an expert for help. They are always willing to help you get the details right.
9- Collaborate with other writers. If you're a writer, chances are you have other friends who also write. If you're feeling creative, start your own website like I did with my writer friends. Since we started The Other Bunch, we have been more productive. In addition to posting a monthly question for writers, we are working on an anthology of short stores. Being with a group of like-minded people brings energy to the project and keeps it from becoming routine and boring. It also helps keep you focused.
10-Don't let fear or rejection keep you from reaching your goals. Voltaire is credited with saying, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." If you break your resolution today, try again tomorrow. Don't give up. Rather, exercise the power of positive thinking. You are what you think you are. So think of yourself as a powerful, professional writer and others will too.
Good luck keeping your writing resolutions!
-Bonnie Dodge

Who am I? Man with amnesia asks public to help memory return
A man is asking the public to help identify who he is after suffering a severe spell of amnesia.
Nicknamed "Robert" by hospital staff, he was found in a public park in Peterborough at 6am on 18 May but is unable to recall his real name, age or history.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) had been hoping that his memory would return but as yet there has been "no sign of improvement," staff say.
In an emotional appeal to the public Robert said: "The last few weeks have been truly horrible. I go through so many different emotions. At times I am angry, frustrated, depressed, lost and confused.
"I just need to find out my name and I hope someone out there will recognise me and help.
When police came across Robert in the park he said he had no memory of who he was, nor how he came about being there. He was taken to hospital where staff found no signs of physical injury.
He had no wallet, mobile phone or any documents on his person.
Robert is described as in his early 20s, roughly 5ft 9in tall weighing 13st. English is his second language, the hospital says, with his accent appearing to be eastern European. He apparently understands some Lithuanian and Russian.
Dr Manaan Kar Ray at CPFT, said: "Amnesia can last for anything from a few hours to a number of weeks. It is now nearly two months since he was found and there has been no improvement in his condition.
"Clearly this is very upsetting for him as he cannot recall any details of his life including his own name, age, where his is from, or what he does for a job.
"We have made strenuous efforts to help him with his memory – including taking him back to where he was found – but nothing has been successful so far.
"Our staff have spent a lot of time with him, helping him to recall day-to-day activities, and he can use a computer and play football and basketball, but we are still no closer to finding out who he is.
"Understandably, he is now getting very frustrated and I hope this appeal will mean someone will recognise him and come forward."
Anyone with information can call 01733 776014 between 8am and 8pm every day.

Kate Bosworth looks stunning on the latest cover of Blackbook for the magazine's September 15th Anniversary Issue. The 28-year-old actress sits down for a chat and talks about being a loner in her high school years, battling perceptions, but also about working with her ex-boyfriend Alexander Skarsgård and her fashion sense.
Kate Bosworth covers BlackBook
September 2011. The 28-year-old actress proves once again she's not
just a pretty face, but also a talented and down-to-earth girl.
Kate started her career at a very young age playing Judith in
1998's 'The Horse Whisperer'.
"God, I started this so young — I was 14 when I got my first role. I barely knew myself back then. I did the best I could to navigate a career while also just growing up, and it wasn't until three years ago, when I turned 25, that something in me grounded. I wanted to explore. I wanted to be challenged. I started riding emotional roller-coasters I wouldn't have even lined up for in the past," she told BlackBook.
Speaking about her school years, the actress confesses that she was quite a loner. "I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader. My head was always in books. I felt uncomfortable in cliques. I wasn't a social butterfly at all," Kate says. After graduating from high school she was accepted to Princeton University, but she deferred admission and at 18 she moved to Los Angeles. "Talk about anxiety! That was a really stressful time for me. I look back now and think, How did I ever do that? I lived there, in a tiny studio apartment, on my own," she told the magazine.
Moreover, Kate admits she has a sensitive personality. "I've always been sensitive, and sometimes I don't know how to handle that sensitivity, but I'm learning to manage it better. As an artist, my job is to indulge in emotion. The artistic process is thrilling and joyous, but it can also be extremely painful," Kate stated. Besides, she admits that, "I feel like I'm always battling people's perceptions of me, but it's a losing battle. I pick projects because they're interesting, not to prove anyone wrong."
Terrifying and intense seems to be Kate's latest role in 'Straw
Dogs' in which she plays alongside her ex-boyfriend Alexander
Skarsgård. In the movie, Bosworth plays an American television
actress named Amy Sumner. She and her screenwriter husband David
move from Los Angeles to her hometown of Blackwater, Louisiana,
where conflicts with the locals become a real threat. On working
with Skarsgård, Kate says that, "Alex is so kind and so dedicated
and so incredibly professional. He's got this rare, wonderful
control and stillness that you notice in a lot of old movie stars.
He looks you in the eye. I feel incredibly lucky to have had that
type of man on this movie."
'Another Happy Day' is one of Kate's latest films set to be released in November. On Alice, her role in this movie, Bosworth told BlacBook that, "Dude, I know exactly what you mean! To be totally honest with you, I had that same fear. I remember continually telling Sam, I don't want her to be this whining heap of a wreck. But it goes so beyond her feeling victimized. Watching her is to watch someone struggling with her own survival."
As for Billie, her role in 'Big Sur', Kate says that, "Blue Crush was one of the most physically challenging things I've ever done, but this one, well, it's up there in terms of emotional difficulty". She then adds that, "The thought of one day killing my own child is so far removed from the intensity of sadness I've ever known, but in the moment I became her, and I let go of control and really allowed myself to take off."
On her fashion sense, the actress states that she's more into the low-maintenance style and that she never wears stilettos during the day. "I've always seen fashion as embracing the individual, although yes, I understand that there are parts of the industry that aren't so welcoming. But look at the Proenza Schouler boys. They're so kind and they make such brilliant designs. The Rodarte sisters, too. It may be idealistic, but I like to think that goodness rises to the top," she told BlackBook.

New 4+1 Program: An Accelerated Path for Education Majors
Beginning this fall, students who enroll at MCLA as education majors may embark on a unique 4+1 program through which they can earn not only their bachelor's degree and teaching license, but also their master's degree – all in just five years.
"MCLA's 4+1 program is a great opportunity for bright and driven prospective teachers to pre-plan and accelerate their college careers, while focusing on the goal of becoming highly qualified and marketable educators," said Gina Puc, director of Admissions. "With a seamless transition to graduate work, students will make the most of their time and money as they stay a step ahead of their peers."
Typically, it takes two years to complete a Master's degree in Education (M.Ed.), depending on how many courses a student takes in a given semester.
"Often, students are working full time, so they're not able to take as many classes as they might want to take," said Howard "Jake" Eberwein III, Ed.D., MCLA's dean of graduate and continuing education. "The 4+1 program provides a real clear and accelerated route to do that, in a way that really equips these prospective educators to get what they need."
Support is a key component of the 4+1 program, which is designed for student success. The participants will move through their education together, as a cohort, during their five-year experience.
Right from the start, 4+1 students also will enjoy a high level of advising, as each is assigned an advisor who will continue in that role throughout their MCLA careers. The advisor will spend extra time with each student to help them manage their coursework and college in general, as well as their career goals.
And, beginning as freshmen, "This particular group of 4+1 students actually will have a very intentional set of field experiences that provide a range of opportunities to build their commitment and understanding of the kinds of places and roles they may want to pursue beyond graduation," Eberwein said.
Students will move from one degree to the next. After they complete the senior year of their undergraduate degree – which includes student teaching and seminar fieldwork during the final semester – they will graduate with their class in May, then immediately begin their graduate coursework over the summer session.
That summer, program participants will take two courses, then continue their graduate program in traditional fall and spring semesters before completing their research over the course of the following summer.
Students will be accepted into the 4+1 program with an understanding that there will be reviews as they progress through their undergraduate experience, to ensure that they meet curriculum requirements and maintain GPA standards.
"As long as they do that, their acceptance remains in place, and they will move directly from their undergraduate program and into their graduate program," Eberwein said. "As an institution, we're committing to this group of students."

The beginning of September can be an extremely stressful time for most families. After having two months off school, most children aren't excited to go back to the routine that is the school week. Children are often stressed about social and academic situations, while parents try hard to ensure they're children are prepared for school both emotionally and materially. Parents also have the stress of figuring out before and after school care for their younger children. With everything that goes into preparing your child and yourself for back to school, it might seem overwhelming. Here are some tips to make sure everyone is prepared in the most fun and low stress ways possible.
Back to School Shopping
The first thing you need to do when thinking about back to school shopping is to take an inventory of everything you already have. Once you know what you have, its easier to make a list of what you still need. Although sometimes shopping with your kids can be more complicated than doing it on your own, bringing your children will help them to feel more prepared for school. Letting them make choices for the types of notebooks they get or some new outfits will help them to feel more comfortable with going back to school. This way they will feel like they are going back to school they way they want to look and present themselves which can be a big confidence booster.
Meal Prep
One of the most time consuming and stressful tasks for parents and children old enough to make their lunches, is finding the time to prepare all the meals. Luckily, there are many great recipes and tutorials that can now be found online that show you how to create healthy and varied lunches for an entire week. You and your child can work on most of these recipes together and create their lunches. Choose a night once a week like Sunday, to create the five meals your child will bring to school.
Start Your Routine Early
The summer can bring a lot of bad habits like staying up late and sleeping in. Since these bad habits don't lend themselves to school and learning, help your children by setting a bedtime and acclimatizing them to it before they go back to school. Starting a week before school starts is a good idea to get your children used to going to sleep and waking up at school appropriate times.
Take Some Family Time
Once the kids go back to school, it becomes a lot harder to make time to spend as a family. With after school curricula's, work and playdates, sometimes it can feel like there is no time to spend together as a family. Before the kids go back to school, make sure to make use of the time you have left. Plan a board game night, or a nice night out for dinner and a movie. This will be nice time together, but may also offer a distraction from the stresses that can come with going back to school.

2 person Snuggie??!! What has happened to this world. Oh, and I totally hate when people use the internet to have a conversation with someone who is 2 feet from them.
*chuckling as I picture Lindsay and Davis in the two person snuggie and wondering how they possibly had room to fit themselves AND two laptops in there. Lindsay, he is right NEXT to you girl. Just punch him when he farts, don't update your status to share the intimate (and noxious) details of your snugging.
gingivitis February 12th, 2010 at 10:11 am
I once shared a bed with both my sister and her boyfriend (now husband) at a party (just cos there was nowhere else to sleep). In the morning, my sister got up to use the bathroom. My brother in law forgot I was was there, thought I was her and Dutch-ovened me. Ah, we still laugh about it to this day.
MikeysRight February 12th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Snuggies: possibly one of the most unmanly things ever invented. Stephen should be ashamed of himself.
Having to remove the Snuggie to pee strikes me as a major design flaw for a product whose sole purpose for existence is not having to remove it to do routine tasks.
Also, who will get the Snuggie in the divorce after Stephen leaves his wife for a male stripper?
alproshazam February 12th, 2010 at 10:16 am
The whole snuggie phenomena ship kind of left me on the island, you might say.
They seem like they serve a lot of different purposes though, they remind me of training wheels for moo moos, I also think of fart tents, blankets, capes for fat superheroes, and apparently places for sex and laptops and more disturbingly, cumrags…
chicky_monkey February 12th, 2010 at 10:19 am
@gingivitis – hilarious!!
@MikeysRight – I thought that he was waiting for Desperate Housewives to come on was even more unmanly.
About Snuggies: seems like the dumbest idea ever, and I wish I had thought of it, so I would be rich now. I'd never be caught wearing one, however.
avemariek February 12th, 2010 at 10:27 am
@gingivitis- seriously lol :L
ThinkingInPictures February 12th, 2010 at 10:34 am
MikeysRight – Stephen is apparently really anxious for the start of Desperate Housewives, and you're worried that a snuggie is jeopardizing his manliness?
Does anyone else think that Bo probably learned the hard way that it is necessary to remove the snuggie before using the toilet?
chicky_monkey February 12th, 2010 at 10:54 am
So, what's next? A snuggie with zippers in the front and back for easy access?
Cherry Cola February 12th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Hasn't anyone here seen the segment in Real Time with Bill Maher about the Snug Wow? Hilarious! It's a Snuggie made out of the Sham Wow so you don't have to take those annoying bathroom breaks and don't have to worry about spilling soda on yourself since it'll absorb it. Ha!
@yaya – Did you use "snugging" as a verb? Is that how people refer to it? Yuck!!
@gingivitis – That story is hysterical!! Thanks for the laugh. 🙂
Space Toast February 12th, 2010 at 11:16 am
Snuggie Stove… That's crafty.
TommySkate February 12th, 2010 at 11:19 am
wen will the next one be up so that i can be FIRST!?
blah mcblah February 12th, 2010 at 11:28 am
It surprises me that none of these snuggie owners have never figured out to just put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants.
Anonanus February 12th, 2010 at 11:34 am
The male version of a snuggie would be the arabic djellabah, a gown for men. You can also buy a 'indoors only'-version which is similar to the normal one only thinner fabric. The upside of that gown is that it has 'pockets' in it which are not meant to hold stuff in, but to scratch your balls. Wonderful invention.
mcowles February 12th, 2010 at 11:35 am
But what if you want to read a book while being warm, Ms. Terri? How could you possibly read a book in a sweatshirt and sweatpants? Can you not see the benefits of the Snuggie?!?!
Great! Now there is an entirely new inappropriate wardrobe option for my neighbors to wear to the grocery store. It is pretty much a certainty that one day, while minding my business picking up a loaf of bread, I will be forced to trade small talk with a neighbor who has stepped up their look to include the snuggie thrown on over the pj's and slippers they regularly wear when out and about.
mcowles February 12th, 2010 at 11:49 am
I HATE seeing people wearing pj's in public. I sometimes sleep in sweatpants and even then, I'm not sure if I should run to the corner store without changing.
Tip: If your pants have spongebob or checkered/striped thin material, they are NOT meant to be worn outside.
Oh, one more… it's called an UNDERshirt for a reason… don't wear it in public without something over top of it!
I'm so bitter.
I wanna get snugged… maybe in a 3 person snuggie..? mwahaha
@Mcowles…you have to make an exception for the size 0-4 20-somethings
If I'm ever seen even looking to purchase a snuggie for personal use…I plead on the community to go ahead and have me committed for my own safety.
Sure Mykl42. We could use the snuggie as a straight jacket til the fellas in white coats arrive to take you away.
Absurdrelief February 12th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
And how do you answer the phone in sweats?? Gahhhhh – next you'll say that 'socks' keep your feet warm…
I don't understand the whole snuggie phonemonon, it's much easier to use the blanket I have.
@mcowles: I once broke up with a guy in high school after he showed up at school wearing dinosaur pants. I told him that "this" gesturing to his pants just wasn't working out for me.
Hmmm…perhaps Snuggies are more Rascal friendly? Roll off the couch ride your to McD's for two #1's extra large and back to catch Springer?
BritishHobo February 12th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Today's Lamebook inspired rant: Those bell-ends you see on these websites that do something fucking retarted like fart in their girlfriend's faces and laugh when they get pissed off. What the fuck? Who dates these man-children?
BritishHobo February 12th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
And before anyone says it, I will pre-empt this: yes. I am no fun.
I think you're fun 🙂
@BritishHobo..What I don't get is this. They date the nimrods, take the abuse..call all men asses and get bored w/ you if you show them a little respect and run back to the guys that mistreat them.
I've learned from horrible, horrible experience not to dutch oven my wife. The retaliation is swift and terrible, and her farts are much worse than mine could ever hope to be.
We can make quite a symphony after a big meal though, especially if cabbage was involved. Good relationships are built on an appreciation, or at least tolerance, for juvenile humor. Once you stop laughing at farts, you're well on your way to decrepitude and mutual resentment.
@BritishHobo: ha ha, I have a man-child!
I thought that was marriage's job
MikeyMike February 12th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Someday we'll all look back at the Age of the Snuggle. And we will never stop throwing up.
beckyboo February 12th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Snuggies are by far the WORST invention. It's just a f&$#in backwards bathrobe. And why the f&$# do people feel the need to wear them out in public! The inventor of the snuggie needs to be beat to death and buried in a heavily wooded area!
yaya, I keep imagining your neighbor-in-shop horror scenario and can't stop sniggering 😀
Stephen is an absolute bumder.
I love this thread and want to have its babies.
Desolation Row February 12th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Davis is awesome.
BritishHobo February 12th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
What's worse is that these people are out of high school… is this what the real world is like? 😐
Davis' a real womanizer! aa'haha!
slimjayz February 12th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Dang… Maybe I'm wierd, but that chic with the cleavage in the snuggy is doing it for me… I imagine thats all she is wearing and I got easy entry from the back…
Agree slimjayz, double-chins and a fetish for wearing only the sloppiest clothes really rock my boat too.
slimjayz February 12th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Well it looks like that is a dress funky party so its hard to gather her actual style
As for the double chin thing… She looks like a very reasonably shaped woman… Kind of tired of dickhole guys like you that jump all over a chic for the slightest imperfection… Meanwhile I bet you're ugly and/or fat and talking shit about an average to pretty chic probably makes you feel slightly better about your own existance
That's not a double chin, it's a little bit of loose skin that just about everyone gets in their 30s and 40s. It's only noticeable if you smile like she is or you bow your head so your chin is close to your neck. She doesn't look overweight at all.
On the other hand, the fact that she's wearing a snuggie in public means she's probably about 3 months away, at most, from shutting herself in her house with her 87 cats until she dies of old age and gets eaten by them.
wordpervert February 12th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I've said before, but I don't think even Brad Pitt would look good in a snuggie.
But if he came to my door wearing one, yeah like I'd turn him away!
theawesomecool February 12th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
@Thrilled and Bored
I know him and can personally confirm he did.
nashntth February 12th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Stephen spelled husband wrong.
DrKnossos February 13th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Someone needs to revoke Stephen's man card right now. Either that, or his wife pulled a Lorena Bobbit on him and managed to get his balls, too.
Antarctican February 14th, 2010 at 4:40 am
What, is Stephen now a girl's name as well?

The Escapist Presents: Top 5 Favorites of 2010: Elizabeth
Top 5 Favorites of 2010: Elizabeth
Elizabeth Grunewald shares her Top 5 Favorite Not-Games of 2010.
Me too!!! I saw Day & Night and thought it was absolutely amazing!! But my girlfriend thought it was ok and that she prefers all the other shorts...finally someone has a brain!! This is so original and so well done, it's unreal!! Thank you and great list!
I knew you'd have a hot voice.
I have not yet seen toy story 3 as the nostalgia barrier is too high for my to climb right now. It can't be over...
You didn't do a game top 5! BLASPHEMY!!!
Oh well, it was intersting to watch nonetheless. Day & Night looks cute and I have yet to watch Toy Story 3. :<
Huh. So that's what Elizabeth sounds like.
I too was a big fan of Day and Night. It was incredibly clever and fun, and had some genuinely excellent usage of 3D. And the ending was just DAWW.
Oh man. In THAT part of Toy Story 3 I was like: "is Pixar really going to do it?"
The only thing I've watched from that list was Scott Pilgrim ,and i think it was great.
I am glad that I was not the only one who immediately went 'Wow, she has a cute voice'.
Very good list though, I wasn't a lost follower but I agreed with the rest of the list though I might have swapped places for Toy Story and Scott Pilgrim.
AH the ending of lost was brilliant, it was everything i wanted.
I think the main reason there wasn't a lot of praise for Day & Night is because people were so blown away by Toy Story 3 they completely forgot about the great little short that proceeded it.
Which is shame. Day & Night was an amazing short. I actually find myself revisiting Pixar's shorts more often then their features. They are just so well done.
have you ever heard the term
that might be something for you to look in to
Very very cool! I still need to see Toy Story 3, Day & Night, and Scott Pilgrim. The Lost finale was an awesome event. It was emotionally rewarding. I just felt intellectually hoodwinked by it. Still it was probably as good of an end as there could have been without stretching another season. Thanks for sharing!
Agree 100% percent with every choice except Scott Pilgrim and Day & Night, but only cause i haven't seen either, but am now eager to see both. Although my list would include Inception along with Toy Story. probably replace Kick-ass though. It was awesome but Christopher Nolan is something else ENTIRELY.
When I was trying to sleep after watching Toy Story 3 I found it hard not to shed some tears upon reflection. :< I'm a bloke.
you nailed it! I could not agree with you more! thank you!
Agree with the top 3 and somewhat the 4th one. Never watched lost though.
i actually gave a standing ovation for day & night. then i looked round and everyone was staaring at me so i just dropped back into my seat...
You Lost me at... well.

Tarana (INAF-IAPS, Roma, Italy) on 29 May 2012; 11:36 UTCredential Certification: mariateresa fiocchi (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Subjects: X-ray, Gamma Ray, Binary, Variables
Referred to by ATel #: 4136
During recent INTEGRAL Galactic Plane Scanning observation (PI: A. Bazzano),
starting 2012 may 26 at 10:38 UTC (total exposure time ~36.3 ks), IBIS/ISGRI detected renewed activity from the transient binary system IGR J19294+1816 (Atel #1997).
This hard X-ray transient was detected at about 9 sigma in the IBIS map 18-40 keV, with a flux of 18+/-2 mCrab (uncertainties at 90% c.l.).
Its 18-60 keV spectrum is well fitted by a power law model with photon index of 3.6(+0.8,-0.7) and reduced chi-squared of 0.97 (15 d.o.f.).
The source was inside the field of view of the JEM-X monitor during two pointings for a total of ~2.3 ks effective exposure and the estimated 3-10 keV flux is 13+/-3 mCrab.
This source is an X-ray transient accreting pulsar, with an outburst period of around 117 days (likely the binary orbital period; Corbet and Krimm 2009, ATel #2008)
and a spin period of about 12.44 seconds (Strohmayer et al. 2009, Atel #2002; Rodriguez et al. 2009).
Whilst the system is likely a Be X-ray Binary further observations are required to explain the short, intense SFXT-like flaring episodes observed in this source (Rodriguez et al. 2009).
The last reported outburst occurred on February 7, 2012 (Finger et al., 2012, Atel #3917), so the INTEGRAL detection is consistent
with the rise to a new outburst, actually expected in the first days of June 2012.
A Swift ToO follow-up has been approved and the data analysis will soon be performed.
Results from the Galactic Plane Scanning are made publicly available at: http://gpsiasf.iasf-roma.inaf.it/ .

This introduces a new frame comparison method that was designed for patterns that follow a checkerboard style. These patterns are made of consecutive rectangular shapes with alternating solid colors. They are currently used for some Chamelium-based tests. The method is particularly adapted for cases where the edges of the shapes might be blurred (e.g. due to scaling), which makes it impossible to use pixel-perfect or CRC-based comparisons to decide whether the captured frame matches the reference. Overall, this test will first detect the edges of the pattern and later exclude them from comparison. Colors are compared between the reference and capture with a low threshold for error. A percentage of the faulty pixels is calculated and the captured frame is considered invalid if more than one percent of the pixels are erroneous.

The Well of Being, a children's book for adults, is a journey, narrated with simple words and paintings. It is about the wellbeing we all long for, yet often only dimly remember and may no longer believe in.
Through thoughtful, engaging images, the reader will encounter new ideas. Ideas about the patterns of thinking which often constrict our view of who we are and how this world works; ideas about the source of our well-being; ideas about how we become estranged from our well-being; ideas about how we may recover it.
It is an ancient teaching told with a sense of wonder. Poetry mixes with doctrine with cognitive psychology with self-help with art and spirituality. The book's originality is not for the sake of breaking rules and being quirky, but rather, to penetrate the reader's heart and break it. The Well of Being promises to bring us back to a world that is coherent and whole and beautiful. I hope that it will bring you pleasure and the sense of remembering something you always knew, but have forgotten. Beyond that, I wish for its perennial teaching to be understood and shared between friends.
– Jean-Pierre Weill
