Adventures of The Bank Teller – first day
Only I could manage to turn a simple first-day-on-the-job experience into a major adventure.
It all started with the fact that the bank for which I was to work outsources all its HR to a third party and its IT to a different third party. A month ago they offered me the job, and via e-mail arranged for me to take a teller-aptitude test online, get a drug test, get fingerprinted, and have a background check that was so thorough that I was beginning to suspect I was being recruited by the CIA. At the time of the offer I was to submit acceptance of two forms, one stating the conditions of my employment and the other to confirm the pay rate. Unfortunately the two forms had two different pay rates; more e-mails and corrected forms.
About 10 days ago I got a confirmation that I passed the variety of tests, with a start date. I was given my ID and employee number as well as a temporary password. I was told access would be available a week before my start date, and I would soon get communication from my hiring manager as to time to arrive and what I need to bring.
Out of curiosity I logged into the online site and changed my password, but there was no data available for my account. No biggie.
A week before starting, I tried again to log in, to no avail. So I called the HR support line. I gave them my ID and employee number, but they couldn't find me. So they passed me over to IT support. IT found me and apparently since their side of the machinations were working (hence the ability to set up a permanent password), the problem was with the other (HR) company. A trouble ticket was issued and I was told to give it three or more days to be resolved. So three days before starting I finally got access to do all the new-hire paperwork. Okay, folks, I've been working in IT for 20 years, and I was pulling my hair out trying to navigate the site, find the things I needed to fill out, and confirming my name at least three different times … yes, it's my legal name; yes I have a maiden name and it's the same as my legal name; yes, I want to use that legal name. I managed to get the direct deposit form fine, but couldn't find the W-4; apparently they filled that out for me using data given on other screens, and it was done, but I couldn't find a copy to confirm it's the way I want it. The most annoying was the I-9 form, which is one of the newest anti-terrorism red tapes. But I managed it … I think.
Only one more problem – I never heard from my hiring manager. And e-mails to the recruiters remained unanswered.
Well, what the hell … I dressed for work and showed up at the branch site a little before 9 AM. Worst case scenario they send me home, right?
I was greeted warmly and enthusiastically. Got the 50-cent tour, then settled down to start my training. The manager said I had to fill out the I-9 form – again – and show two original proofs of ID. Well, I always have my driver's license with me, but I don't carry around a birth certificate or social security card. After the exhaustive background check, you'd think they already know I'm a US citizen, right? Did I have my new-hire packet? No …
Well, while the manager tried to find all the paperwork I was supposedly spared by the online process, she tried to get me on the bank's computers to start my training. Of course, not knowing what to bring with me, I didn't think I would need to write down my ID, employee number and new password. But they couldn't find it in their records. After digging around the new computer system my manager found my employee number, so armed with that she tried to get my ID. After about half an hour of passing around and disconnects, she finally got hold of someone in support who appeared to know what he was doing, and handed the phone to me to request a password reset. While he did forget what he told me was my new password, he stayed on the line to check my access. Access denied. Try this … access denied. How about … access denied. Upon further digging he determined that someone put in the wrong cost codes and sent me to find out the right ones and the branch number. With those he found out that the wrong codes has been entered four days ago, and so I had been rejected for 20+ systems – all of which were necessary for my training. And without that access I couldn't go the hour-drive to the three days of intensive training I had scheduled for the rest of the week. He wasn't sure how fast the problem could be fixed and resubmitting the information correctly involved a few background people then the manager's approval. After 15 minutes of rummaging around the system she found the first request for approval. Only 20 more to go.
So by 1:30 in the afternoon we were all rather frustrated and nothing much had been achieved. My manager suggested I go to lunch while awaiting the red tape. So I figured I'd get one thing done; I only live ten minutes away, so I decided to drive home and get my passport so we could at least finalize the I-9 form. Back in less than an hour, right?
Not exactly.
About a block from home, I was making a left with a left green arrow light when a truck from my right ran the red light and clipped my front quarter. Being sandwiched between the lane on my left also making the turn and his truck, I had nowhere to go. He and I pulled into a nearby parking area and while he was apologetic and took full responsibility, I was concerned that (from experience) without his fault being in writing, my insurance would balloon out of affordable range. Before I could even ask, he had called the police to report the accident and we had exchanged information. He also called his insurance company in front of me and admitted it was his fault. After an hour of waiting for the police to show up, he called again. And I called my new boss to explain my absence. Later she told me that as soon as she saw that it was me calling, she was afraid I was calling to say I was fed up with the incompetence of the systems and wasn't coming back. She was very sweet about the delay, so as soon as I could I got home (I could have walked home and back but was afraid of missing the police), got my passport and returned to work. Uh-oh, it was after 3 PM. Fortunately the banking hours were till 4 PM, so I could get in. We got the I-9 handled, and my manager had been on the phone all afternoon trying to "legitimize" me. She had reached the people handling the off-site training and they found a way around the lack of access, and will hold my hand since I never got on the computer for the preliminary training. I look forward to working for a person so concerned about my welfare (and even apologetic for all I'd been through). Around 4 PM she told me I might as well go home; we'd done all we can to bring me on board.
I went next door to Subway and bought a king-sized high-cholesterol hero and a diet coke, then went home to watch Monday-night football. I find it hard to believe that all this occurred in the space of eight hours. I'll leave the auto insurance report and my home training preparation for tomorrow. I just hope that this is not a typical day in my new career as a bank teller!!

Design of a direct drive linear generator with high flux density magnetic cores for oceanic wave energy conversion
Publication Details
S. Molla, O. Farrok, K. M. Muttaqi & M. Islam, "Design of a direct drive linear generator with high flux density magnetic cores for oceanic wave energy conversion," in 2018 IEEE International Conference on Applied Superconductivity and Electromagnetic Devices, ASEMD 2018, 2018, pp. 1-2.
The existing linear generators (LGs) are mostly made of ordinary steel cores that is used for conversion of oceanic wave energy into electrical energy. It is analyzed that, excessive magnetic core loss occurs because of using these conventional cores in the LG which cannot generate more output power due to low saturation point. In this paper, a direct drive LG (DDLG) is proposed where advanced cores DI-MAX HF 10 and Armco DIMAX non-oriented electrical steel M27 are used for reducing the core loss. The same DDLG is simulated for the conventional steel core and the proposed advanced cores. Simulation results show that, the lowest core loss as well as the highest output power is achieved for DI-MAX HF 10 cored DDLG.

And then comes Saturday.

The weekends are Trevor's alone. On the weekends, Trevor is king.

Charging into the beckoning canyonlands of southern Utah, Trevor seeks out true challenge without hesitation, dares the ever-changing terrain to test his finest skill, and defies death itself as he pushes his mind and body to the max.

Of course, he has to capture it all on camera. Trevor never rides without his helmet-mounted GoPro, recording the real-time video of his every triumph and technical maneuver.

But this  Saturday, the camera captures so much more. When Trevor presses the play button, eager to relive the thrilling moments of his impressive, recent ride, the scene that plays out before him on the television screen ends in an unexpected way. The footage is more than captivating; it's horrifying.

They say that, in this age of advanced technology, if it wasn't filmed, it never happened. But what if it hasn't happened鈥攜et鈥攁nd it's already on film?

He has only two options: succumb to his fate the footage foretells or fight鈥攖o the death if need be鈥攆or his very own life.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Honeywell International Inc.'s exposure to aerospace should make for a solid third quarter, though investors may have some concerns over the impact of Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner delay.
For the quarter, analysts polled by Thomson Financial forecast, on average, earnings of 81 cents a share for the diversified industrial conglomerate, up from 66 cents a share in the same period last year. The company reports earnings on Friday.
Honeywell HON, +0.83% has businesses in manufacturing automation and control, specialty materials, transportation, and in aerospace, where Boeing is a customer for its flight control and landing systems.
Boeing BA, +2.43% last week delayed the launch of its 787 aircraft until late next year, which put pressure on the shares for many of its contractors. See full story.
Aerospace, along with automation and control, will be the businesses that will drive a strong quarter for Honeywell, according to a note from Bank of America. A slight drag on quarterly earnings might be the company's exposure to non-residential construction in its specialty materials unit.
Shares of Honeywell were trading Tuesday at $61.27, down a fraction from its prior day close. The stock is up more than 40% since last year, thanks to strong demand for its aerospace products.

Ten years since the recession, we take a look at how the global economy is faring. Economic activity seems to be strong, driven by trade growth, easy monetary policies, and positive consumer sentiment.

I recently rode the bus for a week in downtown Chicago. I was face to face with Black Obesity.
I saw Black women dressed in tights that were far too tight going to work. I was overwhelmed with tights and green/blue/yellow hair. Certainly they were not in line for a promotion. I wrote something about it on Facebook, only to receive thousands of amazing responses.
Obesity in the Black community is at an epidemic rate. I recently went on a diet, and lost about 25 pounds with a doctor's program concentrated on protein. I wasn't particularly happy with my dress size and too vain to say I was in the fat category.
Diet and exercise became ritual for me to get where I thought I should be. In doing so, I found that it was the small things that mattered, like the elimination of sugar and carbs. But most of all, I feel so much better and have a new source of energy, not to mention the clothes I found in the closet.
Lifestyle changes were appropriate for my purpose. I found myself preaching to my friends about weight and diet. I only approached the subject as my changes were noticed. It was often not a welcome conversation, so I often just silently listened to the aches-and-pains complaints that are directly attributable to weight issues.
African Americans Are Overweight
After doing a bit of research, I found that 75 percent of African Americans are overweight or obese, including 69 percent of men and 82 percent of women, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Simply said, Black women are too fat and we are teaching bad habits to our children, feeding them far too much sugar and a fast food diet.
Obesity rates tend to be higher in Black children. Nationally, in 2012, 20.5 percent of African-American girls were obese compared to 15.6 percent of White girls and 19 percent of African-American boys were obese compared to 12.6 percent of white Boys.
For youth from two to 19 years old, eight percent of African-American children are considered severely obese, with the severe weight gain occurring most often between the third and eighth grades.
African Americans are seriously eating themselves into the grave. This is a conversation often held with the late Dick Gregory, but I never agreed with his extremities on eating either.
The key is to be healthy and balanced. The key is nutrition and it should be taught in schools, as to what foods are healthy and what foods are not. Many churches haves taken it upon themselves to teach good, healthy habits.
Weight Surgery
Many Black women are taking to surgeries to eliminate fat, from stomach surgery to band laps to freezing the fat. I know of one woman who had head to toe liposuction. She was very pleased with the results. She had never been so thin.
She truly believed that the weight would not come back no matter what she did. She was convinced that she was fat free forever. But slowly she began to eat a cake or a pie a day for dessert and of course the weight returned in strange places. She had the procedure but never changed her lifestyle accordingly.
We are contracting diseases like diabetes and sometimes knee and hip replacements because of diet and weight. Your bones can only carry so much. The body works like a well-oiled machine if maintained properly.
A nutritionist told me once that most people took better care of their cars than they did their bodies. He asked if I took cod liver oil for example. My answer was no. He said, but you put oil in your car don't you?
I have a male friend who is over 400 pounds and is having heart and leg problems. As I listened to him complain, I finally said you, too, would break down if you had to carry around 400 pounds every day. He got the point when doctors told him that before he would be eligible for knee/hip surgery, he would have to lose a minimum of 100 pounds.
"Physicians are seeing more and more children with a type of diabetes at the age of 10 that previously had not been seen until middle age."
New Lifestyles Are In Order
I definitely don't like the new county tax on sweetened beverages, but indeed if the pricing cuts down on the consumption of pop for our children to make them healthier, bravo. I hear too many kids and parents talking about potato chips and pop for breakfast, as well as sugar laced cereals. Where is the egg?
I talked to a doctor recently who mentioned that physicians are seeing more and more children with a type of diabetes at the age of about 10 years old that previously had not been seen until middle age. He contributed it to sugary diets.
I love farmers markets because the food is so fresh. But more importantly, I chat with the farmers about food as I make a discovery weekly, which is usually something I didn't know about, or how a dish can be prepared differently.
The farmers ought to hold classes on fresh food. The fresh farm food offers a wonderful taste, with no salt and no sugar. There is nothing like fresh corn, tomatoes, garlic, summer squash and peppers for seasoning.
Physical activity is important to the weight issue. Studies have shown that as of 2010, African Americans were 70 percent less likely to engage in physical activity compared to whites.
As of 2013, 21.5 percent of Black youth did not participate in at least one hour of daily physical activity. It is important that children have gym at school and access to games in the public parks and recreation centers in their neighborhoods.
The rates of deaths from heart disease and stroke are almost twice as high among African Americans than Whites. There has much to do with the government, economic development issues, and health conditions around these matters, like food desserts in Black neighborhoods and lack of access to fresh food and the like.
But the first steps begin with each and every one of us and what we do and don't put in our mouths.

Brandon Marshall To Wear No. 15 For Seattle Seahawks
Wednesday, May 30, 2018 10:30:34 PM America/Los_Angeles
Brandon Marshall signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks worth up to 2 million dollars with incentives on May 29, 2018. Tuesday, we learned what number Marshall will be wearing when he takes the field later this year.
Marshall, who wore No. 15 at Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, and the New York Giants, will be keeping his number at Seattle Seahawks. It's going to be one of the highest-selling jerseys in Seattle, no doubt. (Brandon Marshall wore No. 19 with Miami Dolphins from 2010 season to 2011 season )
Brandon Marshall will wear his familiar No. 15 for the Seahawks next season. No other Seahawks players wore the number, so it seemed inevitable that he'd keep the number he made his own in the pros.

Dustin is the primary baby bather in the house. Mainly this is so I can clean up the kitchen from dinner but also because it's half an hour I get to myself. I usually spend this time having tequila shots and a having a solo dance party on my balcony. Yesterday I gave her a bath for the first time in a couple weeks. I cannot stress how much this child loves the bath tub. She could probably live in the tub, providing I changed the water every few hours and removed her life jacket to feed her. From the very start she loved being in the bath, always kicking and smiling, and me wondering if she was going to take a crap in the tub. I've been lucky so far. I love her bathtimes and I think I may start designating Dustin to kitchen clean up duty instead. But I still get the tequila shots.
Last night she slept from 10pm until 10am. Crazy? Yes. Awesome? Yes. You're jealous? Yes.
Next weekend Lillienne's granny, My Mother, is moving back home. Today my sister and I are unloading all of her furniture, rooting through all of her personal belongings and picking out what we want. But dont tell her.

>So, everyone else has weighed in with their reviews of AGBT 2010 already, and as usual, I'm probably one of the last to write anything down. Perhaps the extreme carpel tunnel syndrome I've exposed myself to by typing out my notes should suffice as an excuse…
Anyhow, I wanted to put down a few thoughts on what I saw, heard and discussed before I forget what I wanted to say.
First off, I know everyone has commented on the new technologies already. I'm very disappointed that I wasn't able to see the Ion Torrent presentation, and that I missed the presentation from Life Technologies. Those were two of the biggest hits, and I didn't see either of them. While I did get a quick introduction on the Life Technologies platform from a rep in the Life Tech suite, it's not quite the same.
However, I was there for several of the other workshops and launches, and in particular, the Pacific Biosciences workshop. In general, I think Pac Bio has been served up a lot of criticism for failing to disclose the exact error rate of their Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing platform, as well as for some of the problems they face. Personally, I'm not inclined to think of any of that as a failure – simply as engineering problems. Having worked on early 454 data, there were flaws that were equally disastrous as the challenges that Pac Bio now faces. Much of the criticism is simply directed at the fact that this is measuring single molecules of DNA, and not clusters. Clearly, there are will be challenges for them to overcome: The most obvious are that PacBio will have to lower the wattage of their light source and they'll likely have to do some directed evolution (or even rational design) to lower the frequency at which bases are incorporated too quickly to be read, or possibly come up with a chemistry solution. (More viscous solutions? who knows.) All of the 2nd generation platforms were launched with problems – and Pac Bio certainly isn't the exception to it. Each one gets better over time, and I'm certain PacBio will continue to improve. For the moment, they've suggested protocols like sequencing circular DNA that dramatically reduces the error rate, these issues aren't nearly as big as the hype makes them out to be.
Just to finish off on the subject of SMRT sequencing, I think Elaine Mardis' presentation on the results obtained with PacBio weren't outstanding. Normally, I get really jealous about PacBio results, and wish that I could get my hands on some of them – but this time, I was left a little flat. While there are really neat applications for single molecule sequencing, Human SNPs really aren't one of them. Why they chose to present that particular problem is somewhat beyond me. Not that the presentation was bad, but it failed to really showcase what the platform can be used for, IMHO. Their other presentations (SMRT Biology, for example), were pretty damn cool.
There has also been much talk about Complete Genomics, and how they're not going to make it, which I've already written up in the previous post. I see that as a failure to understand their business model and to understand who they're competing with (ie, not the other sequencing companies.) I expect that they'll be the microarrays of the future – cheap diagnostic tools, with even better repeatability than your average microarray. I don't think they should be written off just quite yet.
Finally, there has been much ado about the HiSeq 2000(tm), released by Illumina. While I have nothing against it (and am even looking forward to it), I don't see it as much except for an upgraded version of their last machine, the GAIIx. They've changed the form factor and the shape of the flow cell, and then enabled some things that were previously disabled (such as two sided tile scanning), it's really just an evolutionary change in a new box, which will allow them more room to grow the platform. Fair enough, really – I don't know how many more upgrades you could put into one of their original boxes, but there's nothing really new here that would have me running after them to get one. I should mention, however, that increased throughput and lower cost ARE significant and a good thing – they just don't appeal to my geeky fascination for new technology.
Another criticism I heard was that these companies shouldn't be calling their tech "3rd generation." Frankly, I've been advocating since last year that they SHOULD be called 3rd generation, so that criticism seems silly, to say the least. Pyrosequencing is clearly synonymous with the 2nd generation of sequencing technologies, while Sanger sequencing is clearly first generation, and hybridization is kind of zero-th generation (although you could make a case for SOLiD being 2nd generation, which would also drag Complete Genomics into that group as well, then). However, the defining characteristic of 3rd generation, to me, is the move away from sequencing ensembles of molecules. An auxiliary definition is that it's also the application of enzymes to do the sequencing itself. So, I'm just going to have to laugh at those who claim that 2nd and 3rd generation are all generically "next-generation" sequencing. There is a clear boundary between the two sets of technologies.
A topic I also wanted to mention was the use of technology at AGBT this year. Frankly, I was blown away by the coverage of all of the events through twitter. I enjoyed at least one talk where I left twitter open beside my text editor, and tried to keep notes while listening to the speaker had to say, while watching the audience's comments. If I hadn't been blogging, I think that would be the best way to engage. Insightful comments and questions were plentiful, and having people I respect discuss the topic was akin to having other scientists leave comments in the margins of a paper you're reading. [Somewhat like reading Sun Tsu's Art of War, where there are more annotations than original material, at some points.] Alas, it was too distracting to compile notes while reading comments, but it was really cool. Unfortunately, Internet coverage was spotty at best, and in some rooms, I wasn't able to get any signal at all. The venue is great, but just not equipped for the 21st century scientist. Had I been there at the end of the conference, I would have suggested that perhaps it's time to identify an alternate venue that can handle the larger crowds, as well as the technological demands of an audience that has 300+ laptop computers going at once. (Don't get me started on electrical outlets.)
I'd like to end on a few good points.
The poster session was excellent – too short, as always, but the quality of the posters were outstanding, and I had fantastic conversations with a lot of scientists. I won't mention them by name, but I'm sure they know who they are. I saw several tools I'll try to follow up on. (By the way, if anyone was looking for me, I spent less than 20 minutes by my poster throughout the conference. There just wasn't enough time to read all of them and still answer questions and absorb everything out there. Sorry about that – feel free to email me if you have questions.)
I should also mention that the vendors were all very hospitable. One of my enduring memories of this year will be Life Technologies allowing the Canadians to crash their suite and use one of their Demo TV's to watch the semi-final Olympic hockey game. (Canada vs. Slovakia.) We were desperately outnumbered by non-Canadians, but they tolerated our screaming pretty well. (A few of them even seemed curious about this weird sport played on ice…) And, of course, anyone who saw my tweets knows about PacBio and the hawaiian shirt, just to name a few examples (-;
So, again, I think AGBT was a great success and I enjoyed it tremendously. Rarely in my life do I get to pack so many talks, discussions and networking into such a short period of time. It may have left me looking somewhat like a deer caught in the headlights, but unquestionably I'm already looking forward to what will be revealed next year.

Happy New Year: An Introduction to Advent & the Liturgical Calendar
As premature as it may feel, let me be the first to greet you with "Happy New Year!" That's right—today is the first day of ... Read More
By Eric Peters •
On the southwest corner of my front yard stands a double-forked black walnut tree. Its height of some forty-feet is ample enough to cast a belly shadow across the front porch of the house in the peak of summer. For that I am exceedingly grateful. By early October however, if not sooner, it becomes a skeleton of its formerly buoyant self. Its alternate compound leaves will have, by-and-large, fallen to the ground along with the slender brown tendrils to which the leaves clung, brittle and piling up like a Milton Bradley game of Pick-Up-Sticks on the droopy fescue lawn. The tree, I suppose due to summer drought, becomes awkwardly and prematurely barren of most vegetation with the exception of its enormous quantity of fruit dangling overhead like a million blunt swords of Damocles. Living beneath the tree this time of year is an equally precarious, if not epic, affair.
Mowing the lawn, I run the risk of getting pelted in the head by cascading walnuts or enduring their violent, revolutionary decapitation within the blade housing below. Often, they fall in single, lonely thuds to the ground. Other times, they fall in rapid-fire clusters. Occasionally, and thankfully less often, they fall on the roof of the house with a clumsy rap. But if the wind picks up, or scrambling squirrels jostle the branches just right, a series of green golf ball-sized fruits plummets to the ground and pavement below as if in an embarrassingly poor juggling act. And that's when things get dangerous for perusers like me. With each ominous pass beneath its boughs, I am certain that I will be knocked unconscious by one of the blunt spheres, waking up to find that several Rip Van Winkle hours have passed with only a tender knot on my skull as proof of any botanical villainy.
Aside from any Newtonian peril, walnut trees entertain the natural world with a biochemical process known as allelopathy, a method of Darwinian survival. The tree secretes chemicals into the earth that prohibit other plants and trees, even its own kind, from growing near it. Essentially, it monopolizes the ground it inhabits, and, in that respect, I am no different.
Much like my caution beneath raining walnuts, I find I am afraid of most everything involving the unknown, the future, and anything outside my domain of control, which is to say everything. It is no simple fear, instead, a near-paralyzing comedy of capitulation, that although lonely, cold and brittle, is vital enough to cast its own belly shadow across the sphere of my world. I discover inside me anger — at the world for being the liar that it is and always has been, and at myself for believing those terrible, fear-mongering lies.
In my own allelopathy, I have for years welcomed the deepest demons by pretending the space I inhabited was and always would be mine, a gift I believe I rightfully deserved. I kill off any honorable Christ-inhabited humility by decaying the Root from which it springs. I fend off those who try to care, those who seek to lean in, those who invade my territory, by poisoning their atmospheres with my own mechanisms of defense. I am joy's thief.
Christ, where there is hope left to pluck from the living boughs, pray, reveal yourself before this fool has claimed an entire realm for his own crown. There is too much poison, too much anger, too much sadness, too much listless memory to pulse through the veins of any single soul. Beneath the burdened branches of this far-fetched, far-reaching, irrepressible hope, be merciful, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and remind the Triple Life inside me that the sweet birds will one day return to nest, roost, sing and play in the boughs created long ago with only so much as a single, spoken word. May the Triple Life return with that same whispered word.
Eric Peters, affectionately called "Pappy" by those who love him, is the grand old curmudgeon of the Rabbit Room. But his small stature and often quiet presence belie a giant talent. He's a songwriter of the first order, and a catalogue of great records bears witness to it. His last album, Birds of Relocation, blew minds and found its way onto "year's best" lists all over the country. When he's not painting, trolling bookstores, or dabbling in photography, he's touring the country in support of his latest record, Far Side of the Sea.
I find I am afraid of most everything involving the unknown, the future, and anything outside my domain of control, which is to say, everything. It is no simple fear, instead, a near-paralyzing comedy of capitulation,
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." ~ H.P. Lovecraft
I think Lovecraft was right about the second half, but wrong about the first. Certainly, the oldest and strongest postlapsarian emotion of mankind is fear. But we also have within us an echo of Eden that calls out and reminds us that there is the deeper reality of love which casts out fear. The fall puts us in this state of allelopathy – each of us carving out our own "safe" spots and keeping others at a distance by pointing the finger of blame, like Adam and Eve did. Jesus has a great way of invading that space.
Excellent post, Eric.
Great post Eric. I resonate deeply with the idea of fearing things outside of my control and the resulting anger.
And by the way, I think Botanical Villainy would make a great album name. Or maybe not.
There was this women's retreat I went to a few years ago. We met in a park, in the fall, under a walnut tree that occasionally dropped nuts on our heads. And the subject of the retreat was dealing with fear. Maybe God is telling me to re-examine my notes from that day. This theme of building walls, to keep others out and maintain my so-called control, keeps coming up in my life recently. OK, God, you have my attention.
Great word choices, Eric. You paint beautiful pictures.
Is anyone watching the Prisoner on AMC. Last night 2 (main character) said that all fear stems from guilt. I have been pondering this. If perfect love casts out fear does it also, cast out guilt?
Man, fear just shows up everywhere. Nothing is sacred, which I guess is an indicator that everything needs to be sacred.
Travis, I might have to agree with ol' HP. Love as an emotion isn't worth much.
Looks like it's time for another U2 listen.
EP, any chance you'll make the BTLOG tour this year? I have some little Radiate fans that would love to catch you in person.
Love as an emotion isn't worth much.
While I disagree on a technicality (love as choice and action should produce emotion, I think), it's still accurate to say that Lovecraft was wrong about fear being the oldest emotion, for surely there was no fear in the garden!
And that, my friends, is how I know that my brain is still dead.
Man, I could eat some walnuts right about now.
But fear certainly came quickly on the heels of the fall.
Mike, precisely, which is what makes Lovecraft's insight still very helpful.
Hey Eric. Just came across The Rabbit Room. Appreciate very much your openness and insight. Hope all is well.
Very well written EP. Have a 60 foot behemoth 12 feet from my computer room window. Walk through the yard often, using ground fruit to fill the alley mudhole, love and respect the tree, and do not fear being pummeled anymore. Maybe, that's a step in the right direction. Thanks for the inspiration in a troubling time.

A list of the best motorycle helmet brands available in India..
For many Indians, a helmet that costs Rs. 1,000 or above seems to be a preposterous idea. Actually in most cases Indians don't bother to wear a helmet at all. So even if one decides to get one, he/she mostly opts for something within the range of Rs. 500 (ok maybe Rs. 700), sometimes even resorting to buying from the roadside vendors.
Also in many cases, guys who are new to biking are not aware of which helmet brands are of good quality, and in the process end up buying anything from the market which has a snazzy design.
Yet, I hope that there would be at least a few who wouldn't mind loosening their purse strings to get the best quality helmet that they can afford. Posted below is a list of a helmet brands (Indian and International) available in India (in 2011). Hopefully one can use this list as a guide to get a decent helmet for himself/herself.
Update 15'th Aug 2011: If anybody has any information about MPA helmets (like its website),please let me know. I am not sure if MPA helmets still exist in India
1. Entry Level Brands (Vega, Studds, Steelbird)
These 3 are Indian brands which have been around for many years. There are umpteen other desi helmet brands available in the market, but among them I have found only these 3 worth talking about. All these 3 brands have the mandatory ISI (Indian standards) certification. If you are just a normal biker who is looking for some decent quality protection at an affordable price, then you could look at these brands.
Vega Helmets:
(Pros: Attractive designs/options, Cons: Relatively flimsy build quality, inadequate padding)
Internationally there also exists a brand called Vega Helmets but this one is a different Indian brand. I have not used any Vega Helmet so far but I have checked out a few. The flip up helmet called "Boolean" and the Motocross helmet from Vega are among its flagship models.
The distribution/availabilty and marketing of Vega helmets seem to be quite good. But so far I have never been impressed by the build quality or the internal padding of Vega Helmets.
Check out: Vega Auto's Website
Studds Helmets:
(Pros: Decent Build at an affordable price, Cons: Need for a premium model)
This brand has been for many years now. Although I have not used helmets from Studds, the Ninja (a flip up model) was the first helmet which had impressed me 15 years back..!! But Studds have not upgraded much over the years and their Ninja model still continues to be among their flagship models.
Studds Ninja, Price: Around Rs. 1,500
Check out: Studds Helmet Website
Steelbird Helmets:
(Pros: Decent Build at an affordable price, Cons: Flimsy face shield on its Premium GP one model)
The Steelbird "GP One" was my first helmet and back in the early 2000's it was the first near international quality helmet in India. Steelbird has a technical tie up with an international helmet brand called "Bieffe", so sometimes the helmets are branded as Steelbird Bieffe. Recently Steelbird has launched India's first carbon fibre helmets.
Till a couple of years back, the Steelbird GP One was the best quality helmet in India. The fit and build quality of the GP One was quite good but the only issue was with its face visor which has a relatively flimsy build quality.
According to me among the entry level Indian brands, Steelbird is on the Top. I just wish their website was a bit more informative; as the current one doesn't reflect well on its brand or products.
Steelbird GP One, Price: Around Rs. 2,000
Steelbird Carbon Fibre, Price: Around Rs, 10,000
Check out: Steelbird Helmets Website
2. Best Bang for You Buck Enthusiasts Brands (LS2, Daijya, Nuvo)
Moving up the ladder would be these 3 brands. These models are a step above in terms of design, fit and comfort. They are also priced over a premium over the entry level Indian brands. If you are a bit more enthusiastic about your bikes than a normal desi biker and have a budget of around Rs. 3,000-6,000 for a motorcycle helmet, then these are the best brands of helmets that you can buy in India.
These helmets are not certified by ISI (Indian standards) as they aren't manufactured in India but are certified by DOT (American Standards) or ECE (European Standards).
(Pros: Attractive designs, decent build, decent face shield mechanism, Cons: The padding could have been better, quality varies depending on the Indian retailer)
LS2 is a Chinese helmet brand. Usually a Made is China tag is looked at with suspicion but after having checked out a few at DSG (Pune), they seem to be of more than ok. Decent build quality of the shell and the face shield plus attractive graphics make the LS2 a good buy at its price point. The padding could have been a little better though.
One big issue with the LS2 brand is that it is being brought to India by a couple of different retailers and therefore the quality and hence price can vary from as low as Rs. 1,800 to about Rs. 4,000. Therefore if you are really looking for some good quality stuff, you better be sure of what you are buying.
LS2 Price: From as low as Rs. 1,800 to Rs. 4,000 (depending on the quality and the Indian retailer)
Check out LS2 Helmet's international site
(Pros: Attractive designs, good build quality of shell and face shield, good padding, Cons: A bit on the heavier side)
After the Steelbird GP One, Daijya was my second helmet. Daijya is a Helmet brand which DSG (Pune India) owns. The manufacturing of the helmets is made in China. In terms of quality the Daijya for me was two steps ahead of my Steelbird GP One experience. Apart from the build quality and finish, I was particularly impressed with the padding inside the helmet which was very good. Very firm yet comfortable. Just that the Daijya is slightly on the heavier side.
Daijya Price: Rs. 4,750
Check out: DSG's website
(Pros: Excellent padding, reasonable weight, ok quality of the face shield mechanism, Cons: nothing particular)
Nuvo is a helmet from from the UK brought to India by DSG (India, Pune). The padding of the helmet is excellent and the helmet is reasonably light weight. The face shield mechanism could have had slightly more positive feel to it. But this is one of the best helmets that one can get within Rs. 6,000 in India and is worth every paise it's price.
Nuvo Price: Rs. 5,990
Check out: DSG's website & Novo Helmets international site
3. Slightly Expensive Brands (Sparx, KBC, Joe Rocket)
These helmets are a step above in the pricing ladder and for those who are ready to spend slightly more. All the above mentioned three brands are from the USA and brought to India by Performance Racing Store (Mumbai). In the USA these brands aren't considered exactly premium brands, but due to it's pricing it can taken to be slightly premium offerings in India.
I have not checked out the Joe Rocket and KBC Helmets so can't comment much on them but I have checked out one particular Sparx helmet that belongs to one of my friend. It cost him about Rs. 8,000 and have been using for over a year and a half now.
The Sparx brand is actually a budget brand of KBC helmets and it certainly did seem a bit budget to me. The shell and visor was ok but the padding could have been better and after one and half year of use, the rubber beading at the bottom of my friend's Sparx helmet was coming off.
Price range:
- Sparx, Rs. 8,000-8,500
KBC, Rs. 8,500-25,000
Joe Rocket, Rs. 15,000-25,000
Check out the international website of Sparx, KBC & Joe Rocket
4. Top of the Line Brands (HJC, Arai)
These brands are like the Ferrari, Lamborghini and BMW's in the world of helmets and they are available in India as well. Needless to say that they will be the best that money can buy.
Prices range from Rs. 15,000-30,000 for the HJC helmets in India and Rs. 33,000-50,000 for the Arai Helmets.
These helmets can be bought from the Performance Racing Store (Mumbai). Check out the international website of HJC Helmets, Arai

I felt pretty bad when I woke up this morning, but my situation quickly deteriorated once I got to work. Still, I toughed it out through the whole shift. It took a Herculean effort, but I somehow drove myself home, only to discover that my wife, Mary, hadn't shoveled the driveway.
Fortunately, the snow wasn't deep, and I was able to use a leaf blower to remove most of it before it froze solid. The effort drained the last of my reserves, however, so I staggered inside and collapsed on the sofa.
Soon I felt sleepy and managed to drift off, only to awake a short time later due to feeling a wet sensation on my cheek. I'd drooled onto the pillow Mary had sewn for me last summer, the one with the gaily colored Day of the Dead skulls. Apparently I'd been mouth-breathing while I slumbered, but didn't discover the reason for that necessity until awaking.
While I slept, someone crept to my side and rammed a steel spike into my right nostril and up into my brain. I can't explain why I didn't wake while this was going on, I must have been deeply anesthetized, but now that I've come to, it feels exactly like one would expect it to feel after a steel spike — wrapped in sandpaper — has been thrust into your right nostril and up into your brain. It hurts!
Somehow I found the strength to drag myself up the stairs and into the kitchen, where I put the kettle on to boil. Somewhere in one of the cabinets was the euthanasia tea, but I doubted I'd be strong enough to find it, hidden as it likely was behind Mary's boxes of blueberry, raspberry, acacia and the gods know what other noxious blends she has in there. How can I be expected to find things in my weakened condition?
Still, I managed it, but while crawling into the living room I spilled almost half the tea I'd labored so hard to obtain.
By e-mail, my best friend said it sounds like I have man flu. I've never heard of that, but she knows more about medical matters than I do. Whatever it is, I can attest to the fact that it's painful and deadly.
This could be it, dear readers. I'm going down fast. Who will take over the Roamin' Gnomials franchise when I'm gone?

Halloween hoaxes: Scary scams targeting families looking for fun
SEATTLE — It was supposed to be a fun night out with friends.
Dressed in Halloween gear on a boat. Food and drinks — all included in the $65 ticket. Some of the ticket money was even supposed to go to a charity.
So, when Elizabeth Bender got a message from Wayback Entertainment and a ticketing broker saying the scheduled "Haunted Booze Cruise" in Seattle was cancelled, she was understandably upset.
"We were definitely looking forward to it," Bender said.
Bender and others who signed up for the event scheduled for Oct. 28 said they were told they would get a full refund in 3-5 days.
But the refund didn't come. Calls to Wayback Entertainment were spotty, and eventually went unanswered. It didn't take long before people from other cities said their Halloween Booze Cruise events were canceled, too. And refunds, though promised, didn't seem forthcoming anywhere.
"The event planner is a scammer," said Shawn Davis of Tacoma, who also signed up for the cruise. "He's been doing this all across the country under a different name."
Davis started a closed Facebook group in attempt to get money back from various agencies that worked with Wayback Entertainment, like the ticket broker. He's had no luck, but more than 70 people have requested to join the group in only three days.
Unfortunately, the Washington State Attorney General's Office and representatives from the Better Business Bureau say this happens all too often.
People pay for an event, like a unique fun-run or a booze cruise, and it never happens.
All too common
Q13 News could not get in touch with Wayback Entertainment. No complaints have yet been filed to the state's attorney general's office against the company.
Ticketbud, the third-party ticketing agency that helped secure tickets for Seattle's Haunted Booze Cruise, say they are working with Wayback Entertainment to get refunds. But they have had trouble getting in touch with Wayback Entertainment over the past few weeks. They are reviewing all of their options, a representative said.
Though it's too early to say for certain a refund isn't happening, Veronica Craker of Better Business Bureau Northwest says a lot of "event scams" are popping up.
A spokesperson for the Washington State Attorney General's Office said they also see a lot of complaints for events that never happen.
"It's starting to become more and more common," Craker said. "It's so easy to build these sites and make them seem legitimate. Throw up a Facebook page with a few stock photos."
It's easy to fall for, Craker said. There's little oversight on places like Facebook, where fun social events pop up and gather steam.
"Anyone can create a realistic looking event," Craker said, noting outlets like Facebook and Instagram make it easy to spread the event. "They are promoted and people comment and share."
What to look for
Craker said there are certain red flags from one-time events that people can look out for. For instance, if the event does not have a specific time and location, such as when and where a cruise would leave from, it may not be set up.
Also, if the event's pages have stock-looking photos, that should be a red flag.
"Are you seeing the same stock photos everywhere?" Craker asked. "Does it look like it could come from any party or any boat?"
Craker suggested before signing up for an event, it's important to call the event location. Fun run in a city park? Call the city park's department. Booze cruise on a lake? Call the boat company.
"Do some investigative reporting into the event," Craker said.
It's also important to use your credit card when signing up. There are more consumer fraud protections with the credit card company, he said, and it's easier to get money back.
Craker reminds consumers there's no "industry standard" guaranteed for a refund to come. It's entirely possible Wayback Entertainment is actively trying to get money back to the people who had their Halloween Booze Cruise canceled. And a third-party ticketing agency may not be liable if the event is canceled. She encouraged people to check with the National Ticket Association for ticket broker accreditation before sending money in for tickets.
And it's important to remember there are plenty of legitimate, fun events out there. Halloween booze cruises are on tap for cities across the U.S.
Don't let it ruin your fun
Bender doesn't think she and her friends will get their money back from the canceled "Haunted Booze Cruise."
"There's always hope," Bender said with a chuckle.
The $400 she and her friends lost could have gone toward rent, or at the very least a different fun Halloween party, she says. Instead, it's an expensive lesson learned. If she had to do it over again, she says she would take a breath and not get caught up in the excitement of the event before looking into it closer.
"Don't get blinded by the pretty words and the shiny pictures," Bender said. "Definitely do your research."

The impact of signal-to-noise ratio on guided wave radar performance
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) has been used successfully in industrial applications for over a decade due to its superior performance, application flexibility, and immunity to changing process conditions.
However, even with these benefits, and as is well known to experienced users of GWR technology, all applications are not created equal. Topics covered in this white paper include:
- "Signal" and "Noise"

St. Mark's United Methodist Church

Come Follow Christ
A Community of Christ-followers committed to being the continuing presence of Jesus in our community and world.
Care Team
Charge Conference Report 2018
An opportunity to share God's Word and love.
The CARE TEAM of St. Mark's United Methodist Church has the following objective:
Reach out to the infirm and homebound, people in time of need or loss, and those who need encouragement through celebratory events, prayers, cards, and visitations.
We continue to reach out to a group of people in the community who are unable to attend our church by holding a small worship service for patients at a local facility that provides assisted living where needed, FOX TRAIL. Our pastor serves Communion for the people once a month and the others lead the worship the first three Sundays of each month and any fifth Sunday; the patients especially enjoy having the pastor with us for Communion.
The team provides a lunch with grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and other foods for the residents and staff once or twice a year. We provide holiday treats and cards made by the Sunday School students during the year as well. The residents definitely derive great pleasure from the cards made by the children.
People make phone calls and hospital visits to those who are incapacitated at any time a well as visiting with the families and providing support for them. And there are always cards sent to boost the spirits of those in a time of trials to show that they are in our thoughts.
The CARE Team continues to be an important part of the ministry of St. Mark's United Methodist Church and the people who are part of the group are very blessed by being able to share God's love inside and outside of the church.
