Thanks. Love, Isaac ShapiroSuperb article. Fantastically well put. So simple any 'one' could get it! Piers MooreedeAs usual, this is an exceptionally lucid and practical discussion of the ephemeral I and the changeless Reality which underlies all. Well done! Don WolfeIntroducing a new book by Colin Drake: Awakening and Beyond: Self Recognition and its Consequences.Colin now has three books in the series. They are available as e-books or in hard copy.The Introduction and Index to Awakening and Beyond are featured in this issue.For complete details and ordering information please visitAwakening and Beyond, by Colin Drake, is a series of articles written since the publication of the Author's second book A Light Unto Your Self. It is the third in the trilogy which started with Beyond the Separate Self. Each book deals with Awakening, from the dream of being a separate object on the earth, and each is written so as to stand alone not requiring the reader to have read the other works.Introduction to Awakening and BeyondThis book is the follow up to Beyond The Separate Self and A Light Unto Your Self. All of these books deal with self-identity, Who am I?; which is vital, for without a clear idea of ones essential identity one cannot relate to the world, and others, in an appropriate way. To give a stark example: we have all heard of people who are incarcerated because they believe they are Jesus Christ, or Napoleon Bonaparte say, and it is fairly apparent that any relationship to such a person will be somewhat unusual to say the least! In the same way whilst we believe that we are separate objects, in a universe of separate objects, then we will naturally treat ourselves and others as objects, which I think we can see to be an unsatisfactory arrangement. For this tends to lead to blatant self-interest and exploitation of our fellow beings, the outcome of which is apparent in the modern world.So the quest is to inquire and discover that which is beyond objectification, the deeper level that is the perceiver, the subjective level in which objects (thoughts and sensations) come and go. This is easily achieved by directly investigating our moment to moment experience, and the previous books provided a simple framework in which this investigation may be easily carried out, see appendix 1. Beyond The Separate Self also included a series of contemplations delving more deeply into what is discovered, and chapters on how to live from this deeper subjective level. A light Unto Your Self continues this whilst concentrating on the need to discover for oneself so that no outside authority is necessary. It also provides a series of contemplations on how to cultivate the first awakening which is the outcome of the initial investigation, and on how to apply this awakening to our day to day existence.This book continues this theme whilst providing pointers as to what can be expected when one is awake and some of the outcomes of awakening. It also stresses the need for continued cultivation of this, for we have all lived for so long misidentifying as a separate being that we readily nod off again requiring another awakening. The author knows this only too well and makes no claim to lack of sleep! However, when one is awake one is awake so that anything that is discovered, or encountered, in this awakened condition is a valid topic in the smorgasbord that is Awakening and Beyond. For more on this see chapter six: Are there Different Degrees of Awakening?Much of the information in the following articles relies on the discovery that our body/minds are instruments through which Consciousness can sense, contemplate, experience, act in, engage with and enjoy Its manifestation. The chapter from A Light Unto Your Self , which deals with this, has been included as appendix 2 and it would be advisable to read the appendices first.Chapter one considers the concept that staying awake is like walking along a razors edge as has been defined in The Upanishads and was the topic of a famous novel by Somerset Maugham. Or as Jesus is purported to say: Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7 v.10) The thrust of this chapter is that awakening is actually remarkably simple, see appendix 1 (Investigation of Experience) which outlines the framework for investigating ones moment to moment experience. It also highlights how easy it is to fall asleep again and in this respect staying awake could be said to be like walking a razors edge. Luckily however, re-awakening is even easier than the first awakening and so nodding off is not a problem provided one continually wakes up againChapter two considers the looming global environmental catastrophe and posits that humanity can only overcome this by solving the problems of overpopulation and the unsustainable exploitation of the earths mineral resources. These are caused by those old chestnuts - lust and greed - and this chapter considers how these may be reduced by awakening to our true identity.Chapter three is concerned with debunking the myth that we need to achieve union (yoga) or integration with the Absolute, for when the subject is examined there is no separation to be found, and thus no union or integration is possible.Chapter four deals with giving up our personal story of a separate being (object) and seeing this as it actually is just a story.Chapter five is the answer to a question I received, the gist of which is: If I identify with Awareness why would I want to do anything? The answer concerns the function of conscious beings and the purpose of life itself. This was the first article in a set of four I wrote for the spiritual blog of Hanumandass.Chapter six is the second of these which deals with the questions of whether there are different degrees of awakening, and whether awakening is gradual or sudden.Chapter seven is the third in the series and is my answer to the question: Is practice necessary? The article deals with this on three levels body, mind and awakening.Chapter eight is the last in this series which deals with the problem of identifying oneself as seeker, or practitioner. It also highlights the essential meaningless of labels that attempt to categorize human beings, and deals with the pitfalls of reading meaning into things that have no meaning.Chapter nine is a dialogue between myself and Hanumandass which resulted from my answering his blogged question: how to apply nondual Awareness to the external world? The gist of my answer was that one does not (need to) apply this in the normal way, for once one awakens then this changes ones relations with, and interaction in, the external world for the better. To back this up I sent him a poem on the subject - Awakening is Immensely Practical which had a profound effect.Chapter ten is an attempt at a logical proof of the assertion that I am Awareness. It gives a set of premises to back this up and also presents the proof in the Aristotelian format premise one, premise two, conclusion.
Chapter eleven is a dialogue between myself and a reader of Beyond The Separate Self who greatly appreciated the book but was still continually overcome by memories and negative thought patterns.Chapter twelve was written for a website called The Awakened Eye www.theawkenedeye.com which is dedicated to the visual arts created by those who have had some degree of awakening, and also to the fact that creating artworks can foster this awakening. It deals with the general subject of Awareness and Creativity.Chapter thirteen is my response to a critic who questioned the fact that awakening was freely available to those who were prepared to investigate reality for themselves, and who also asserted that one had to renounce the world of form to achieve peace (by awakening).Chapter fourteen is a dialogue with a reader of A Light Unto Your Self which concerns viewing ones negative emotions from (identifying with) pure Awareness, how to allow the old thought patterns (that create these) to just come and go without buying into them. It also considers the fact that as one awakens ones emotions gradually change, allowing for the enjoyment of the positive ones whilst letting the negative ones go.Chapter fifteen is a dialogue with a German professor who had enjoyed a first awakening but was unsure of its veracity. So he asked a series of questions concerning the link between (identifying as) Awareness and awakening.Chapter sixteen is a poem I wrote in praise of (Universal) Consciousness in its two modes at rest as Awareness- and in motion as cosmic energy (manifestation). In Hindu mythology the first of these is denoted by Siva and the second by Sakti.Chapter seventeen consists of my answers to a set of questions posed by Jerry Katz, my first e-book publisher, who was writing a book on Life After Awakening.Chapter eighteen deals with the universe and consciousness from a scientific point of view and attempts to show how this agrees with the model of nonduality: that there is only consciousness existing in two states - still, as Awareness, and in motion, as energy.Chapter nineteen considers whether sitting meditation, which entails concentration on a mantra, or a symbol, or the breath is of any use in achieving freedom. Or, whether it is counter-productive as it posits something (in the future) to achieve when the concentration deepens, thus positing that freedom is not already here. Whereas, freedom is always here and now just requiring the recognition of its presence.Chapter twenty reflects on good and evil and attempts to show that they both stem from the same motivation, that of becoming happy, or fulfilled. Their outward expression varies depending on the state of comparative awakening exhibited by the doer.Chapter twenty-one asks the question of whether a Guru, in the traditional sense, is necessary on the path of Jnana-Yoga (knowledge) or self-inquiry.Chapter twenty-two attempts to show that Love can be defined as the state of No Separation between the lover and the beloved.Chapter twenty-three is an exercise using the body/mind as an instrument through which the lover consciousness at rest, pure awareness and the beloved consciousness in motion, the manifestation can know and love each other.Chapter twenty-four posits that the realization of the Absolute, by investigation of experience, leads to nirvana. Or you could say that nirvana is synonymous with being totally identified as, and with, Awareness - The Absolute Reality.Chapter twenty-five considers how two nondual perspectives, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, through the Upanishads, reflect and inform one another.Awakening and Beyond$7.95 in PDF formatBuy Beyond the Separate Self, A Light Unto Your Self, and Awakening and Beyond, all 3 for $18Order Colin Drake's books as hard copy paperbacks:Awakening and Beyond, by Colin DrakeChapter OneThe Razors Edge
It has long been held that following the spiritual life to its goal, complete awakening, is very difficult, like walking along a razors edge. This chapter addresses this and attempts to show that, whilst experiencing the first awakening is very simple and easy, to live this awakening requires great vigilance like walking a tight rope.Let the wise merge the speech in the mind, and the mind into intelligence (philosophical reason); let him merge intelligence in the great self (pure Awareness), and that self into peace.
Katha Upanishad 1.3.13This signifies recognizing that thoughts (mind), sensations and actions (speech in this case) appear in (and are seen by) Awareness i.e. are merged in that. This is to be discovered by direct seeing which is informed by intelligence. Then by the same process one can discover that Awareness, being always totally still and utterly silent, is always completely at peace. This is all fairly straightforward and easy to see as appendix 1 (Investigation of Experience), from Beyond the Separate Self (and A Light Unto Your Self) attempts to show.
Arise, awake, enlighten yourself by resorting to the great (teachers), for that path is sharp as a razors, difficult to tread
and hard to go by, say the wise.
Katha Upanishad 1.3.14This next verse says that the path of direct seeing is sharp as a razors edge and thus we should abandon this and resort to the great teachers. However, this advice itself is very difficult to follow for the modern sceptical Western mind which does not trust anything that lies outside its own experience or direct seeing. Also the teachings of the great are often difficult to follow being somewhat cryptic and needing interpretation. resulting in different opinions leading to schisms and the formation of sects. From this also comes tribalism based on our teacher is the best or our interpretation is the correct one and the whole sorry saga of division and competition is perpetuated!So based on this I think, on balance, we are better off following Buddhas final teaching which was that one is to become a light unto yourself. Sankara agreed with this when he wrote, in the Vivekachudamani (verse 54):The true form of Reality should be known through ones own bodhacaksu, clear eye of understanding, and not through a scholar; the true form of the moon should be known by means of ones own eyes only; how can it be known by proxy?This knowing (of Reality) requires the direct seeing of our essential nature by self-inquiry or investigation of our moment to
moment experience see appendix 1. Which results in an awakened moment when one sees that deeper than thoughts (mind) and body (mind) one is pure Awareness and the ramifications of this seeing can be amazing. However, due to our habitual identification with the body/mind one soon nods off again requiring a further awakening by self-inquiry or investigation of experience. So to become totally awake requires absolute vigilance and commitment, akin to walking a razors edge.However, this is not a problem, for as the periods of wakefulness (which are totally carefree) increase so will the commitment to identifying with the level of pure Awareness. This will lead to more reflection and investigation, resulting in further awakenings which will continue the process. To call it a process may seem a misnomer for when one is awake theres no process going on, but the continual naps keep the whole thing running.This does require us to be more interested in awakening than in our own personal story, and to prefer peace to mental suffering. It is amazing how many people prefer to identify with the story and suffering, seeming to actually enjoy them in a masochistic fashion. Assuming that this is not the case one can use mental suffering to be a wake up call that one has nodded off again and return one to Awareness of Awareness. So although staying awake is like walking a razors edge it is very easy to see when one has slipped off this and to hop back on again!There is another danger for those that feel that they have awakened and that is spiritual pride based on the thought that now Ive really got it and thus cannot fall off the edge. It is easy to see that this thought now Ive really got it is dualistic involving a me thats got something (else). This is the difference between thinking now Ive really got Awareness and directly seeing that one is Awareness itself. Any thought that objectifies the I is to be avoided, for Awareness is not an object but the constant conscious subjective presence. Once again vigilance is the keyThirdly for those of us who attempt to point to awakening there is another greater danger, which is believing that we are (separate individuals) pointing This belief can easily be strengthened by the appreciation that we receive by those who experience awakened moments based on this pointing. As awakening is the most profound seeing that can occur, often with momentous implications, the gratitude expressed is often of the most lavish proportions. So we need to walk the walk by continually realizing that we are ephemeral manifestations of That (consciousness), through which pointing is taking place, and that no separate pointer exists!In conclusion, awakening is straightforward and available to all, but is quickly countered by nodding off again. So we need to constantly reawaken by becoming aware of, and identified with, Awareness itself. In this respect it is like walking a razors edge, but it is not painful and hopping back on again is simplicity itself by the relevant shifting of attention from thoughts/sensations to the Awareness that sees these. However, to become fully awake requires for this repeated seeing to occur until we finally no longer nod off again and this entails utmost vigilance. Papaji, Sri Ramana Maharshis direct disciple, was asked whether he still had to remain vigilant and he replied with every breath.~ ~ ~Read the index to Awakening and Beyond:~ ~ ~Awakening and Beyond$7.95 in PDF formatBuy Beyond the Separate Self, A Light Unto Your Self, and Awakening and Beyond, all 3 for $18Order Colin Drake's books as hard copy paperbacks:

Final Score
Pelicans 30-35-30-22 117
Rockets 37-31-25-30 123
In the first of two games the teams will play in China as part of the NBA Global Games, the Houston Rockets outlasted the New Orleans Pelicans by the final score of 123-117 in Shanghai. James Harden led the way offensively with 26 points, seven rebounds and 15 assists (he did have eight turnovers), with Eric Gordon adding 24 points and Ryan Anderson 21. In total Houston had four starters in double figures, with center Clint Capela accounting for 12 points and seven rebounds, and subs Nene and K.J. McDaniels scored 11 points apiece off the bench.
New Orleans was led by guard E'Twaun Moore, who scored 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the field and Anthony Davis added 23. Davis scored 17 of his points in the first half as the Pelicans managed to trim an 11-point deficit to just three at the intermission. Also scoring in double figures for New Orleans were rookie guard Buddy Hield (14 points), center Omer Asik (14) and forward Solomon Hill (11). Point guard Tim Frazier finished with seven points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
As was the case in Houston's exhibition wins over the Shanghai Sharks and New York Knicks, the three-point line was a key factor in the outcome. Houston made 16 threes on the day, outscoring the Pelicans 48-21 in that aspect of the game, with Gordon (five) and Anderson (four) responsible for nine of those makes. The two teams will play once more, Wednesday in Beijing, before returning to the United States.
Below are some highlights from the game via Twitter.

Free X.org Server 1.8.0 with udev to Replace HAL
The X.org project's X server uses udev instead of HAL on Linux and introduces a configuration directory.
Keith Packard, responsible for graphics support at Intel, announced the new version of the X server on the xorg-announce mailing list. He describes the move to udev as a massive change: the X server gives preference to udev over HAL as a device manager if it finds the libudev library in the system. Part of the library is the 10-evdev.conf configuration file from which udev draws the data to load the X driver as the input device.
The configuration file finds its place in version 1.8.0 in the new xorg.conf.d configuration directory, which Packard indicates as the second significant change in the X.org server. The new directory makes it easier to use the many small device configurations instead of the large single file that was difficult to programmatically edit. Since the release, however, many questions have arisen as to the choice of where to put this configuration data that has not been cleared up (see the thread in the mailing list).
The 6.5 MB compressed tar archive is available for download from the x.org website, and the download file also includes the detailed changelog. Explanations for the changes are in Packard's announcement and the blogspot entry from the time of the release candidate in January from developer Peter Hutterer.
The X server 1.9 and the complete X.org window system 7.6 should be available around October, based on recent discussion.

Causes - Cancer - Resources
Is pregnancy even possible after cancer treatment ends? For many women, the answer is yes. With the help from a fertility specialist, fertility treatments and careful planning, you may be able to become pregnant after cancer treatment ends. In this section, we share resources to help you make the best decisions about family planning before your cancer treatment begins.
Fertility after cancer
If you are hoping to become a parent after your recovery from cancer treatment, educate yourself on the latest treatment options for people with cancer. Your options may include the following:
- Fertility preservation – freezing of sperm, eggs, or fertilized embryos before cancer treatment begins
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor eggs
- Gestational carrier arrangements
- Adoption
While numerous fertility treatment options exist for people with cancer, many of these medical procedures are expensive. If you are concerned about the cost of these procedures, look into fertility preservation financial assistance programs. Organizations such as Fertile Hope and Fertile Action may be able to help.
Cancer during pregnancy
What about pregnant women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy? If you are pregnant and have cancer, here are three facts about cancer and pregnancy that may give you peace of mind:
- Many pregnant women with cancer give birth to healthy babies.
- The cancer prognosis for pregnant women with cancer is similar to the cancer prognosis for women that are not pregnant.
- Cancer and cancer treatment do not usually affect a fetus as long as special care is taken during the pregnancy
Breastfeeding and cancer
Some cancer treatments should be delayed or avoided during pregnancy, while others are safe. Breast milk may not be safe for your baby during certain types of cancer treatment. If you receive cancer treatment while breastfeeding, ask your doctor if it is safe to give breast milk to your baby.
If you are facing cancer treatment and are concerned about your fertility, talk to your oncologist. For the most accurate assessment of your fertility potential after cancer treatments, see a fertility specialist before cancer treatment begins.

I have been in love with the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation for almost two years now. It is still one of my holy grail make-up products. Ever since I saw Jenn Im from ClothesEncounters mention this foundation in one of her favorites, I knew I had to pick it up.
Jenn Im's style, makeup, and hair is ALWAYS on point. So, I knew I would not regret this purchase. Tarte's Amazonian Clay foundation was the second brand name foundation I had EVER purchased. About three years ago, I started playing with makeup and began using a ton of drugstore brands such as Covergirl and Physicians Formula. I went through five compacts of Physician Formula's organic wear translucent powder and I don't even know how many Covergirl mascaras.
I wanted to see why people willingly shell out $40, $50, and sometimes even $80 for foundation. After I tried the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation, I understood. The Amazonian Clay foundation stays on your face- it does not fade or break up throughout the day, leaving you looking patchy and cakey. Plus, the smooth, mousse like texture makes it easy to apply and blend all over the face and down the neck.
If you love the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation, then you will love the Ulta Double Duty Primer and Foundation. It has a similar texture, application, and staying power as the Tarte foundation. The Ulta foundation is only $5! Plus, the Ulta foundation is oil free, paraben free, and fragrance free. What more could you need?
To apply these two foundations, I love using my real techniques foundation brush. The brush has a slightly dome shape with soft, thick bristles that won't leave your face looking streaky. It blends the mousse like foundation very easily and never makes your face look cakey.

The "Charity Commons" Series features sector experts sharing their perspective on the interaction of giving and the understanding of human flourishing: science, philosophy, human behavior, spirituality and religion, etc.
This post was written by Dr. Michael Kraus, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Yale School of Management. His research covers areas of cooperative and competitive human interaction, including charitable giving behavior.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection might be the single most well-known theory in the history of science. For you, the theory might conjure up notions of animals rapidly adjusting their behaviors to harsh environments, and active, often aggressive, competition between groups for the right to survive and reproduce. This conception of evolution is so familiar, it often enters into discussions of work and social life—emphasizing our need to out-compete adversaries to achieve desirable career or personal outcomes.
If you think of evolution in these terms it might surprise you then that Darwin thought of it differently. It was Darwin who insisted that individuals would survive through cooperation and not aggression. In 1871, he famously wrote that "Sympathy would have been increased through natural selection, for those species with the most sympathetic members would flourish best and rear the greatest number of offspring1."
For Darwin, it is cooperation and not competition that is the key to flourishing.
No matter your worldview, it is becoming more clear from all philosophical angles that cooperation is better. Cooperation is a natural state for individuals in our daily lives, and this is reflected in the latest scientific studies of cooperation: People normatively give about 20% of a reward they earned in an experiment to strangers even when there is no chance of future contact2; Individuals tend to rise in status in organizations not because they are aggressive and confrontational, but instead, because they are outgoing, social, and well-connected with other employees3; and, Individuals told to give away a reward to others feel happier than when spending the reward on themselves4. Together, these studies indicate that people are wired for cooperation, and that giving is the key to flourishing and happiness.
Now, people cooperate with each other in ways that could not have been conceived of during Darwin's time. Global giving is up in many countries. According to the Giving Institute, individuals across the United States gave approximately $258.51 billion to charitable organizations last year—the most donated since we started keeping records. At the opposite end of the spectrum, historical analyses indicate that levels of violence and aggression across human history have seen steady declines—homicide rates are at their all-time global low5. As societies advance, cooperation grows.
As humans express their natural tendency to cooperate they must also find tools that enhance their ability to efficiently connect with those in need. This is where Charityvest has the potential for its greatest impact. With technological advancements our capacity to give expands as does our circle of individuals and groups who we cooperate with. This expansion poses a significant challenge: With less face-to-face contact, how can individuals be sure that their giving is doing the absolute most good that it can? By making giving fun, easy, secure, and well informed (for more details, go here), Charityvest has the potential to unlock the intuitive cooperation in every individual.

|Chemistry of Materials
|Highly emissive alloyed CdSeS quantum dots (QDs) with a gradient structure exhibiting photoluminescence (PL) peaking at 490 nm and an absolute quantum yield (QY) of 79% (in toluene with excitation wavelength of 430 nm) were designed and synthesized. The cyan-blue emitters were synthesized at 180 °C in 1-octadecene (ODE) with cadmium oleate (Cd(OA)2), tri-n-octylphosphine selenide (TOPSe), and tri-n-octylphosphine sulfide (TOPS) as the Cd, Se, and S precursors, respectively; importantly, a commercial secondary phosphine, diphenyl phosphine (DPP or HPPh2), was used as a beneficial additive. Also, our high Cd/(Se + S) feed molar ratio aids in shifting the equilibrium of the chalcogenide exchange, TOPE + HPPh2 ⇔ TOP + E═PPh2H, to the right. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the formation of Se═PPh2H proceeds faster than that of S═PPh2H, which supports our high S/Se feed molar ratio used to synthesize the bright gradient-alloyed CdSeS QDs. Compositional and structural characterization was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Particularly, our solid-state 113Cd NMR analysis reveals that the highly emissive CdSeS QDs consist of a three-domain structure with a Se-rich inner core region, a Se/S equivalent middle region, and a S-rich outer region. The present study highlights the importance on the use of secondary phosphines together with high cation/anion feed molar ratios in the rational design and synthesis of high-quality metal chalcogenide QDs at relatively low temperature but with high yield and reproducibility.

Now Cher and Lady Gaga have more in common than just a love of crazy headpieces. Cher announced via Twitter last night that Gaga wrote her a song called "The Greatest Thing," which might in fact be the greatest thing to happen to music. Ever.
7 Comments on "OMG, sing it: Cher to get her Gaga on"
Love you stuff and love Cher but the photo you used is of a male Cher impersonator named Steven Andrade.
Gaga's original demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gnZNw3zfmg
Thought it was Paula Deen.
Actually, I think that is Steven Andrade from Atlantic City's "Believe: In A Man's World".
You headline should read, "Lady GAGA is getting her CHER on". Cher was doing GAGA stuff 30 years before GAGA was even born.
as hard as it can be at time to discern Chad from Cher this is no doubt Chad
As fabulash as that news is the picture you used is not the Great one it is Cheralike, Chad Michaels of San Diego DreamGirls Revue and Las Vegas.

Booting with the previous linux image 184.108.40.206 and after setting firmware swtich fwlps to off , seems that established a rigid connection.
Maybe the new kernel 184.108.40.206 is more "sensitive" on the FW flags, since i had never issues before with fwlps which had been left to it's default value (1) for a lot of months. Maybe i could try to upgrade again in the new linux-image 22.214.171.124 and see how it performs with fwlps off. I switched off fwlps by using echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0">/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf (or could be done by adding above line in the end of the existed modsetting.conf file in the same directory). PS: All the rest options of rtl8723be are left to default. George V.

Peyto Improves Reserve Replacement Efficiency in 2007
Peyto Energy Trust presented the results and analysis of the independent reserve report effective December 31, 2007. The evaluation encompassed 100% of the Trust's reserve assets and was conducted by Paddock Lindstrom and Associates Ltd. ("PLA") in compliance with National Instrument 51-101 and in accordance with the COGE (Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation) Handbook.
For the eighth consecutive year, Peyto has grown its reserves, and associated net asset value, from which sustainable distributions are funded. Since inception, Peyto has invested a total of $1.4 billion to build, with the drill bit, total proved assets that have funded cumulative distributions of $622 million and have a remaining value of $2.5 billion (Before Tax, Net Present Value, discounted at 5%, "BT NPV(5)", debt adjusted).
For 2007, Peyto invested $122 million, less than 45% of its cash flow, to replace over 125% of its annual production with new Proved Producing reserves at a Finding, Development and Acquisition ("FD&A") cost of $12.68/boe. As a result, the value (BT NPV(5), debt adjusted) of the remaining Proved Producing reserve assets was maintained at $19.53/unit.
Peyto replaced 175% of production with new Total Proved reserves at a FD&A cost of $9.42/boe and 117% of production with new Proved plus Probable Additional reserves at a FD&A cost of $9.38/boe (including the changes in future development capital).
The reserve life index ("RLI") increased by at least one year in all categories with Proved Producing RLI of 13 years, Total Proved RLI of 16 years, and Proved plus Probable Additional RLI of 21 years.
The distribution life index ("DLI", as defined below) of the Proved Producing assets increased from 23 years in 2006 to 24 years in 2007, indicating that distributions are more sustainable today than a year ago.
The value of Peyto's proven assets, or the BT NPV(5), of the Total Proved reserves, grew 3% to $3.0 billion in 2007. Adjusting for changes in debt and the number of units outstanding, this NPV/unit grew 3% to $23.80/unit.
The BT NPV(5), of the Proved plus Probable Additional reserves grew 1% to $3.7 billion in 2007. Adjusting for changes in debt and the number of units outstanding, this NPV/unit remained effectively the same at $30.77/unit.

Hi there! Today I thought I'd share a cute and easy treat that is sure to be a hit with the entire family.
Are you a Charlie Brown fan? We are! We especially love the holiday Peanuts movies. Hello, it's just not Halloween until we've watched It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Just for fun, I whipped up these delicious no-bake peanut butter treats and gave them a fun Charlie Brown theme.
You will need these ingredients:
1 cup Karo syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Kellogg's corn flakes
snack sized Ziploc bags
Pour Karo syrup and sugar into pan and heat just until sugar dissolves. This will only take a minute or so. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until mixture is smooth. Measure cereal and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour sauce over cereal and mix until even combined.
Place scoops of the mixture onto wax paper to harden. When cool enough to handle, you can roll them into ball shapes if desired.
To make them look more Peanuts-esque, I added Charlie Brown's iconic zig zag to the bags using vinyl I cut on my Silhouette. If you don't want to cut the zig zags, you could draw them on with a black permanent marker instead.
Then I stapled cute bag toppers to each bag. So cute and so easy! Here's the link to the bag topper I designed. Just click on the link to open the file, click on the printer icon, and enjoy.
Have a great day, friends!

Chelsea continued their impressive run this season and registered their third successive league win under Antonio Conte.
Eden Hazard, who had a terrible last season, set the hosts on their way to victory with a sensational goal in the ninth minute. Willian added a fine second in the 42nd minutes as Chelsea took complete control of the one-sided encounter against Burnley before substitute Victor Moses rounded off a comfortable afternoon with the third in the 89th minute.
Let us see how the Twitterati reacted to the match:

I realize I will have to format this review a bit differently, otherwise it would go on forever! I'm not going to be giving a synopsis for each of the short stories but I will give you a brief glimpse of my feelings for each. Overall, I didn't love this as much as I was hoping to. Everyone on the internet seems to the think that it is extremely important to read these stories before starting Lady Midnight and while there were a couple of plot points that are definitely important, I didn't really think it added much to the story overall. Although I am curious if my opinion will change after I read Lady Midnight so stay tuned! I like the overall story arc (SPOILERS FOR THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS SERIES AHEAD SO BEWARE): and that it follows Simon during his time at the Shadowhunter Academy leading up to his Ascension. Like most short story collections, there were some that were great and others that were okay. If I can give you one piece of advice, it's to avoid the Goodreads synopses for each story because they basically tell you exactly what you'll be reading. Here's my breakdown:
Welcome to Shadowhunter Academy (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #1) by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
This story serves as an introduction to the Academy and Simon's new life training to be a Shadowhunter. I was a bit disappointed with this first story because while I felt that there was some foundation laid, it was a bit boring overall. Upon finishing, I found myself hoping that the next 600 pages in this book would be more action-packed.
The Lost Herondale (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #2) by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman
This second tale held a lot of promise for me because of the title alone (I love those Herondales)! This one ended up being a bit heartbreaking. It's a prime example of the Shadowhunter motto of "the law is hard, but it is the law." I liked this one overall, especially Catarina Loss's portion but it was not my favorite of the bunch.
The Whitechapel Fiend (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #3) Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson
I definitely liked the stories that Maureen Johnson co-wrote more than any of the other co-author's works. This story actually is my favorite for several reasons. 1) We get another Infernal Devices tale which just warms my heart and 2) it involved Jack the Ripper! I've read the first two books in Maureen Johnson's Jack the Ripper series as well and I love that she got to revisit the famous murderer and come up with yet another outcome of the story. I'm assuming this was fun for her to co-write since she already had done so much research on the backstory.
Nothing But Shadows (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #4) by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
Again, this story was okay. I didn't feel that it added much to the Shadowhunter mythos despite the Will Herondale cameo. It focused primarily on Will's son and how he met his parabati. I imagine this was included since Cassandra Clare seems to be exploring parabati more in depth than she did in the original series. I do love the concept and I'm glad this relationship will play a bigger part in Lady Midnight but I didn't really need this story. I also enjoyed Simon's character development as he decides what type of Shadowhunter he wants to be.
The Evil We Love (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #5) by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman
This story also seemed unnecessary to me. I enjoyed the present day antics between Isabelle and Simon but the history of Valentine's circle was something I enjoyed reading about less than I had expected. I suppose I wouldn't mind reading Jocelyn's take on everything since her perspective changed much earlier than other Circle members, but I didn't find that Robert's tale made me feel any type of sympathy toward him for the way he treated Alec.
Pale Kings and Princes (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #6) by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman
This one didn't do much for me. I liked the twist at the end and the look into the lives of Helen Blackthorn's parents, but I didn't think it was enough to warrant an entire story.
Bitter of Tongue (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #7) by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
My favorite part of this story was getting to see more about Andrew Blackthorn. He played a small but majorly significant role in City of Heavenly Fire and I've definitely been curious about his fate. My heart hurts for him and I really hope that Lady Midnight could offer some type of resolution for his situation. He is truly awesome. Again, didn't add much overall, but I did enjoy this one at least!
The Fiery Trial (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #8) by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson
This one is another favorite of the bunch which I'm sure you can guess judging by the co-writer! I think this is the most important story within the whole novella collection because it addresses the ending of City of Heavenly Fire and it sets up the Lady Midnight protagonists (Emma and Julian) as parabati. I think Simon's revelations during the ceremony are going to play a huge role in the Dark Artifices series and I love the outcome of his and Clary's meeting with Magnus Bane. This story made me so happy!
Born to Endless Night (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #9) by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan
This story is completely outlandish. Obviously I love seeing more Magnus and Alec and oh the feels because they are perfect but nope, this just came out of left field. Why? WHY?!
Angels Twice Descending (Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy #10) by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman
This is the only story that I read the Goodreads synopsis for and boy am I upset that I made that choice! Once I knew the premise and exactly what was going to happen minus the actual character names I knew exactly what would be happening to who. It was still sad and it broke my heart but I found this to be quite predictable.

Thoughts While Headed to the Holy Land
I'll be touring around Israel all week and plan to provide regular dispatches on my experiences and some mostly sober thoughts inspired by what I see. A few essays I whipped up on the flight from Toronto to Tel Aviv:
From the Promised Land to the New World and Back Again
I Am A Bacon-Flavored Kind of Kosher
A Country Where You Can Not Get Away from Politics
I'm dead tired and a bit flustered at not being on my home turf for what will be a game-changing event when it comes to Canada's role in Afghanistan. Must retire for a bit.

Last week I talked about the different types of sunflowers that are grown across the nation. This week I want to talk about how we grow sunflowers on our farm. We get many different questions in regards to our sunflowers so I hope to address some of the most commonly asked questions throughout this post.
What kind of sunflowers do you plant?
We plant an oil variety of sunflower called NuSun Clearfield Hybrid with Downy Mildew Resistance Trait. Basically what this means is three things.
- NuSun (which I talked about last week) is a newer mid-oleic sunflower that was adapted and put on the market in the late 90s. NuSun oil has become favored over other oils for commercial use because it provides optimal health benefits, great taste, and superior performance, all while remaining trans fat free and 10% lower in saturated fat.
- Clearfield Hybrid combines high-yielding seeds with a broad-spectrum herbicide to provide long-lasting weed control, quality crop, and able to be marketed across the globe. The herbicide trait in Clearfield sunflowers is based on a natural mutation discovered in a wild sunflower. Through research and hybrid breeding, Clearfield sunflowers were born and now provide us with greater crop tolerance and improved weed control.
- Downy Mildew Resistant means that the sunflowers have been bred to be resistant to downy mildew. Downy Mildew is a fungal disease that can be devastating to sunflowers.
This variety of sunflowers is a medium maturity sunflower with about 73 days to flowering and 100 to full maturity (or harvest).
Our sunflower seeds come treated with fungicide and insecticide, which is why they are colored purple in the photo above. The purpose of this seed treatment is to protect the seed and plant in its early stages of growth. Seed treatments will also protect the plant in disease promoting conditions allowing the plant to use its energy on growth.
Are your sunflowers GMO?
No, there is no such thing as GM sunflowers. It may seem like it above, but these resistance traits and NuSun technologies were developed with standard hybrid breeding methods, not bioengineering.
Some have said that over the long term, however, biotechnology will be needed to help sunflowers compete for acreage with other oilseed crops that already possess bioengineered traits. Sunflower acreage (especially in our area in North Dakota) has lost acreage to other row crops such as soybeans that also possess bioengineered traits.
How do you plant sunflowers?
As with any row crop, uniform spacing when planting is important. You can use either a drill or a planter to plant the sunflowers. We typically use a planter. We plant our sunflowers in 30 inch rows at about a depth of 1 3/4 inches. When planting sunflowers, the soil temperature needs to be at 50 degrees or more at the seed depth (1 ¾ inches). Planting seeds of any crop into cold soils will can cause the seed to go into dormancy and can delay germination.
Here's an excerpt from my post What Equipment Do Farmers Use to Plant about how a planter works:
The planter works in three parts. First being the "trash wheels" which move aside any leftover residue in the field. In our planter, seed is taken from a large hopper to individual hoppers for each row. From there a vacuum sucks the seed into a disc that has holes for one corn seed. As the disc goes around, it drops one seed into the ground in precisely measured increments. We can increase or decrease the depth much like a drill, but with the planter we can also manage the distance from seed to seed in a row, which is what makes the planter more precise.
How do sunflowers pollinate?
Sunflowers require a pollinator (bees) to move pollen from one flower to another. Unlike corn and other crops, very little pollination is accomplished by wind. Sunflower pollen is heavy and stick and most of it ends up on the leaves of the plant during windy days.
We typically contract bees to be brought up from Texas to help our sunflowers pollinate. Since it gets much to cold for the bees here, they winter in Texas. Other growers may contract bees from places like California and other warmer climates.
Each sunflower head is actually not a single flower, but rather 1,000 to 2,000 individual flowers joined at a common receptacle The head is actually composed of two types of flowers. What appear to be yellow petals around the edge of the head are actually individual ray flowers. The face of the head is comprised of hundreds of disk flowers, which each form into a seed. Flowers pollinate from the outside in and the seeds underneath will turn from white to black once pollinated. If the plant is under any stress, often times, the flowers won't fully pollinate.
Do sunflower heads follow the sun?
When plant parts (whether it be leaves or buds) follow the direction of the sun, it is called heliotropism. It is a common misconception that sunflower blooms follow the sun. When the sunflowers are small buds (not bloomed), they will follow the sun.
Once the flowers bloom, the heads are usually too heavy to move so they will face east all the time. The National Sunflower Association states that facing east is likely a defense mechanism as facing south or west could result in the sun scalding the seeds during very hot days.
A sign that sunflowers are nearing end of blooming and pollination is that the heads end up turned down. Especially large heads will downturn and droop due to the weight of the pollinated seeds.
When do your sunflowers bloom?
Each growing season is different so our sunflowers can bloom at different times depending on how early we got them in the ground. However, a good general basis for finding blooming sunflowers here in North Dakota is around early to mid-August to early September. Typically fields can be found in bloom for around a week to ten days.
If you've never experienced a sunflower field in bloom, I highly recommend making a trip to somewhere in the United States where sunflowers are grown, it truly is an unforgettable experience looking out on a sea of yellow. To find out more about Where to Find Sunflowers, you can check out this post.
What happens to the sunflowers after they bloom?
Once the sunflowers have bloomed and pollinated, they will continue to mature. The heads will turn down and droop and the petals will fall off. The leaves will fall off and the plants will begin to turn yellow and eventually blackish brown. Basically, the sunflowers will die.
Sunflowers are considered mature when the back of the flower head is yellow and they are ready to harvest once the back of the head turns brown. Ideal seed moisture for harvest is around 10% or less.
Stay tuned for more next week, I will be discussing sunflower harvest.

Actress welcomes baby boy and reveals his cute name
Actress and TV presenter Sara Gilbert has welcomed a baby boy with her wife, Linda Perry!
Sara and Linda welcomed their adorable bundle of joy last Saturday, 28th February and the very first photo of the sweet little boy was revealed on The Talk, which Sara co-hosts.
Although the Roseanne actress was absent for the reveal, Sharon Osbourne and the panel announced that the happy couple had chosen the name Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry for their little one.
We just love Sharon's reaction to the photo, that is going to be one very spoilt little boy when he finally gets to visit the set of the popular US talk show!
Sara also has two children, Levi and Sawyer, with her ex-partner, Allison Adler.
Congratulations to Sara and Linda on their wonderful new arrival.

When people are talking shit about the Pearl, Fratelli is one of the examples (along with Andina, bluehour, and ten01) frequently raised in the district's defense—proof that good restaurants can and do thrive alongside Henry's Tavern and P.F. Chang's. And rightly so—the high-end Italian restaurant can be counted on for an elegant meal at a decent value, with a menu that's been based on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients since long before those were buzzwords. (Fratelli even features a regular dinner series, starting this Tuesday, August 28, and continuing through the end of September, based on ingredients from co-owner Tim Cuscaden's own garden.)
Recently and with little fanfare, Fratelli opened Bar Dué, an intimate bar space next door to the restaurant that maintains much of the sophisticated, moody vibe of Fratelli, with a more bar-food-oriented menu that focuses on something near and dear to my heart: pizza.
Now, I wasn't raised religious, but my East Coast-bred parents did manage to pass on some pretty militant ideas about pizza. My deeply ingrained preference is for a sloppy, New York-style slice that's gotta be folded in half to keep all the toppings from sliding right off.
Part of becoming an adult, though, is questioning the ideas you were raised with. I've come to love the pie at Dove Vivi, a new restaurant located in the former home of the not-at-all-missed Kustom Pizza, which serves deep dish, cornmeal-crust pizza with a rotating variety of seasonal toppings. I sometimes wake up craving their corn-topped pie despite the fact that it's laden with toppings and requires a knife and fork to consume. Sure, I don't quite think of it as "pizza," per se, but I've learned not to let the cognitive dissonance ruin a good meal.
It's the same deal with Bar Dué's wood-fired pizza: As long as I don't let fantasies about my archetypical pizza slice intrude, it's pretty enjoyable stuff. The pizza features a thin, crunchy crust with the predictable variety of high-end toppings that range from a traditional Margherita pie, with mozzarella and basil, to a more adventurous combo of pancetta, olives, ricotta, and salsa. At $12, each pie could comfortably serve two, though larger appetites might want to supplement it with other offerings from the bar menu, which features a variety of small plates lifted from the regular Fratelli menu. Prices range from $3-7.50 an item (with a couple bucks off during happy hour, which runs from 4:30-6 pm, and 9 pm-close daily), and it's easy to mix and match up a satisfying meal. With the exception of an insipid chicken terrine that begged the old "Is this worth the calories?" question, the food was uniformly satisfying: Try the roasted beet and Gorgonzola salad, or the excellent pancetta-wrapped summer squash.
Maybe the best thing about Bar Dué is that by adding additional bar space, and keeping the menu limited, it allows folks who couldn't afford to drop a hundred bucks on dinner to sample some of what Fratelli has to offer. And their pizza ain't bad, either.

Plan Huerto (vegetable gardens). Investing in seeds, fencing, wages and fertilizer to start crop-cycles with the income reinvested into further crops, wages and the schools. This was started in 2012 in Ecuador and Guatemala and was introduced in Honduras in 2015.
30 families benefit from Plan Huerto as of December 2016 meaning their children's secondary school, college and university costs can be sustainably covered in the future. We aim to increase this to 100 during 2017 and 2018.
