Grossman's Deli & Grill
A Deli & Grill that started as a fish market over 50 years ago needs to start marketing for the first time. We are located in Ocean Township. Patrons can dine in our galley with 2 salt water fish tanks or take out at the counter. We also delivery to the surrounding businesses.
We need to revive our image and target more businesses for delivery and catering.
We need to:
Clean-up our logo. We have the basic shape in an EPS file but need it to be refreshed for 2010. Our main color for the deli is Green, so ideally the logo would be refreshed in with green as the main color. We would also like it to look good inverted on a green background such as shown at our old website at http://www.grossmansdeli.com. We are not looking to change the shape or the logo... just make it look better!
Once the logo is cleaned up we would like to showcase it on brand new business cards. Nothing fancy here, just simple and clean.
lastly, we would like to refresh our menu and make it easier to read. We are open to suggestions. Attached is our full menu that we would like to have redone. In addition we would like a small menu/flyer that we can advertise weekly specials that our delivery person can leave with businesses, or hand deliver with samples. We have attached an example menu/flyer from a competing deli (valentes) that we like. We would like to have even less items... as they will be specials, but we think the size is good. We would need to be able to edit this menu on a weekly basis, so it must be able to be chopped up and put in ms word or publisher.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional info
Thank You.

Reporter Khristopher J. Brooks told Jim Romenesko, "I'm a really big NBA fan and whenever an NBA team acquires a new player there's always a press release announcing it. I'd look at those releases and think, 'The organization is really proud.'"
So he wrote a press release announcing his move to the Wilmington News Journal including quotes from his offer letter. And nearly a week later, poof, vamoose, he was fired for the fake press release. So let this be a lesson to you basketball-loving whippersnappers. The press releases are for Charlie Bell and Hasheem Thabeet and Joe Alexander. Not you.

Portland, OR
December, 2004
Meeting called to order at 4:45 p.m. Quorum present.
Bob explained the procedure for voting delegates. He also read a list of the
Associations that would not be allowed to vote per the Associations Committee.
If you are asking for a change in a vote from your Association, it must be
presented in writing to the Secretary. All voting delegates are to check in at
the door and pick up their voting paddle.
Nancy asked that nominations for the Youth Athletic awards and outstanding
Associations persons be given to her before the end of the meeting. Forms are
available at the sign in table.
Approval of the agenda and additional topics for discussion were given.
The agenda was approved, with additions and correction of 2006 cross country
comments by Bob Kreutz instead of Ron Boemker.
The minutes of 2003, which were posted on the web and printed in the National
report were approved.
Chairman Bob Flint gave us an update on the condition of Mark Springer. Bob
spoke to Mark's wife Sandy and she told Bob that he is in an irreversible coma
and it is just a matter of time before he is gone.
The National Office may be moving to a new location in 2007 or 2008.
The USATF Foundation is approaching one million dollars.
Our Youth budget was accepted without any cuts.

Bob Kreutz spoke on behalf of the bidders of the 2006 JO Cross Country Meet.
They are Portland, OR, Reno, NV, Salt Lake City, UT, Spokane WA. The on-sites
went very well and they all have acceptable facilities. Look over the evaluation
sheet that was given out to the voting delegates and if you have any questions,
ask the bidders, or any of those that went on the visits.
Shirley Crowe spoke on behalf of the bidders of the 2006 JO Track & Field
Meet. They are Baltimore MD, Detroit MI, Miami, FL. The on-sites went very well
and from what we observed the sites will be acceptable. Robin, regarding the
Miami bid, has advised Shirley that they will be building a complete new
facility. Look at the evaluation sheet and if you have any questions ask the

that went on the visits.
Bob Flint asked if anyone had their reports ready to present.
Mary E. Aude handed out a full written report on the Boys and Girls that
participated in the 2004 Olympic Trials in Sacramento. She commented that Bob
Flint was instrumental in getting this initiated and it was very successful. The
seventeen athletes and their parents were treated just like the rest of the
Olympians. They were even highlighted in a newspaper article in the Fresno
Paper, as well as being televised. She further commented on what a good job
Region 14 did in helping to get this all together. Bob also wanted to thank
David Raith and Sandy Snow for helping to get all of the Athletes together.
Kim Haines, our past chairman spoke on the duties and responsibilities of
Youth Committee Officers, and asked that we take this into consideration when we
vote for the officers. Time to devote to the job, is very important and one of
the key components for running for office.
A gentlemen from New Jersey asked to be heard, and felt that Kim's comments
were out of line and that he was campaigning. Kim told him that the Youth
Executive Board suggested that he make the comments and that he made general
comments without mentioning any names.
Roma Poole commented that he did not think it was out of line and that it was
a good idea to let those that are running for office know what is expected of
Lionel Leach would like to acknowledge any new delegates. They were
introduced and applauded.
Lefty Martin and Larry Seifert, sub committee chairs for international
athletes made a report concerning the World Youth Team. The first step was to
select the head coach. Larry, Bob Flint and Lefty, sorted through the
applications that were received. The head Coach and Head Manager was selected,
based on experience. Then a five person committee consisting of Bob Flint,
Lefty, Larry and Head Coach Darrell Hampton and Head Manager Lionel Leach
selected the 11 person staff. Each selection represented, both male and female ,
experience and diversity. You were considered only for the position that you
applied for. The 2005 World Youth meet will be in Marekash, Morocco. The 2007
World Youth meet will be in Beijing, China. The staff for the 2007 meet will be
selected in 2006. Bob Flint gave information on the trip. All types of medical
people (8) go. They even take a sports psychologist. Progress has been made
since the first year in Poland. We have won many medals. IAAF pays for the
athletes to go based on the medals we win. The funding by the budget committee
has been very generous. We will need to have more security, because of the
location. At the Association Workshop, Bob Flint asked every Association to give
$500.00 to the World Youth Committee for a cultural experience. Bob collected
$5000.00 at the Association workshop. Lionel and the group would like to hold a
training session before they leave for the trip. They would like to leave from
one location together. We had Zak, one of the athletes from Canada speak about
his experience. He was very positive and felt it was a great experience. The
monies collected from the Associations is in a separate fund. If the meet does
not go on as planned, the monies would be refunded to the Associations.
Larry Seifert commented that in 1997 we got involved in the competition for
the World Youth, and that we have been doing very well ever since.
Bob Hersh came in to our Ex. Board meeting and said he would be going to
Helsinki for the IAAF meeting and asked if he could present any suggestions or
comments. We asked that he mention a 4 x 400m relay for the World Youth Meet.
Lefty Martin said this is our fourth meet and we have had several gold medals,
which reflects how well we are doing.
John Wissler asked about some progress report about the Zonal meet. Bob Flint
commented that money was approved at the Annual Meeting and by February we had
two meets going. Lawson and Ruth Van Kuren already have information and handouts
on the West Zonal meet.
The zonal meets are a separate budget item. If successful we could possibly
insert into the JO program. Lefty Martin reported on the zone meet in the

Jay Forman Redux
Slate's author of "Monkeyfishing" now says none of his story was true.
In 2001, Jay Forman wrote an article about "monkeyfishing" that I edited and published in Slate. Almost immediately,bloggers, the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto, and the New York Times ($) gouged huge holes in the piece.
At first, Forman defended his first-person story—which described a trip he'd taken with a "monkeyfisherman" to Florida's Lois Key—as completely true. In Forman's piece, a monkeyfisherman casts a fruit-baited fish line from his boat onto the island where rhesus research monkeys were kept. A monkey perched in a tree takes the bait. Caught, the monkey is dragged down into the water.
The withering Times and the Journal investigations caused Forman to change his story. He now said that he had fabricated the lurid parts about monkeys being caught with baited lines, but maintained that he had visited the island and taunted the monkeys from offshore.
The scandal rested there until this week, when Forman telephoned me. Student journalists writing a story about the incident had contacted Forman, and this had prompted him to call me and confess that the story was a complete lie. He never even visited the island.
In a note to me, Forman apologized for betraying Slate's trust and for taking so long to come clean.
I, in turn, apologize to Slate readers for publishing the story. Although Forman still stands by the two other pieces he wrote for the magazine, there is plenty of reason not to believe him.

Candy Source: Economy Candy, NYC
I'm candy trippin' ... I'm in New York City, New York this week and I'm trying to hit all the best candy stores Manhattan has to offer. The amazing thing is that there are so many of them. What's even more amazing is the ubiquity of candy here. It seems a bit harder to find candy in Los Angeles, sure, it's at the grocery store, the drug store but the breadth and scope of candy in New York far surpasses any other city I visit. My guess is that New Yorkers need more energy. Folks walk everywhere or take public transportation and that takes a lot out of you. Well, it's not like candy is the only choice they have, fresh fruit abounds, but I suspect there's less guilt about it here.
Economy Candy has been in business for nearly 70 years and has an incredible selection. They feature both domestic candy by the bar: Hershey, Nestle/Wonka, Mars (including Colorworks M&Ms), Jelly Belly, Atkinson, Annabelle's, Pearson's, Tootsie and probably plenty of others. They also had an exceptional selection of consumer candy bars from Europe, like Cadbury's Flake series, Aeros, Lion bars and even some Israeli bars from Elite. But there were also other high-end bars from Scharffen Berger (great prices), Cafe Tasse (review soon!), Cote d'Or, Droste, Feodora, Lindt, Niederegger, Ritter, Toblerone and even those Chick chocolate bars.
The place is literally packed to the rafters, the shelves go up at least ten feet and I had trouble remembering to look high and low to keep from missing things. They had Dutch and Finnish licorices by the pound, every possible gummi and jelly you might want (yes, I got a half pound of Swedish fish, all red)
Because this is the week of Easter and Passover they had special displays to meet both needs. After all, candy is inclusive, not exclusive. There's no rule that says that a dark chocolate egg can't come to a seder (Kosher of course) and wouldn't some chocolate covered matzohs might be a fun inclusion in an Easter basket.
My favorite there was their selection of Halvah. They have all the Joyva versions, marbled, plain, nuts ... but they also had the little morsels of halvah dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in almonds. Heaven! The halvah is flaky, not too sweet and melts in your mouth. It's terribly messy stuff and I was eating mine over the trash basket in my hotel room.
There were a few things they don't carry, in case you were wondering. There's not much of anything from Asia and nothing that crosses over into the cookie family. They do, however, have a large selection of dried fruits and nuts. But you're not going to do much better on prices, especially in NYC. There are some other candy stores, sure, but they charge a premium just because of the name on the bag. Economy is true to its name. Plain old sugar candies (hard candies, Mary Janes, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) are less than $2 a pound. Jelly Belly - $5.99 a pound ... Jordan Almonds - $3.99 a pound ... Gummis - $2.49-$3.99 a pound. All prices are good on their website, too.
The places is overwhelming. Even though I immersed myself in their website before we went, just to make sure I was familiar with their products, I still didn't know where to look. I was expecting a huge store, and in all fairness, it is. But it was packed with people (if you can, go earlier in the morning on weekends or try a weekday). I might have to go there again (yes, it'll be my third visit) just because I know I missed some things (and I was with other people both times).

I was just about done with my porchetta roast but I made sure to save some to try one last sandwich, inspired be a readers comment describing a porchetta sandwich with caramelized onions and arugula. After a quick search of the web I found a few variations of sandwiches with those ingredients and after picking and choosing ingredients I ended up with one that sounded excellent. This sandwich combines the moist and juicy porchetta with the sweet and tangy balsamic onion marmalade that I had just made with tasty melted asiago cheese, peppery arugula and hit of grainy mustard. Although the previous sandwiches had been beautiful in their simplicity, this sandwich was definitely a winner with its more complex flavour combinations that were definitely amazing. What a great way to finish off the last of the porchetta!

This round i'm using it for the paos and it turned out just right.
Don't they looked like "Golden eggs"??...:) The colour is so beautiful and the texture is very soft too. Here's the recipe..
Ingredients for the dough:
500g Pao flour
2 tsps Double action baking powder
11g Instant yeast
100g Mashed pumpkins
110g Caster sugar
50g Shortening
160-170ml Water (add slowly into the mixture)
Method for the dough:
~ Mix all ingredients except water in a mixer bowl.
~ At medium speed slowly add in the water to form a smooth dough (might not need that much amount of water, all depends on the pumpkin used)
~ Divide the dough into 3 even portions, flatten each portion and roll up like a swiss roll (2 times)
~ Then cut out into small portions (about 40-50g each) -all depends how big you want the paos to be, as shown below.
~ Flatten each small dough with rolling pin and wrap in filling. Cover with damp cloth until the dough is double in size.
~ Arrange in steamer and steam over high heat for 10 minutes.
* 200-300g Roasted peanuts (grind)
* 3-4 tbsps Caster sugar ( can be reduced if too sweet)
* 2 tbsps Cooking oil
~ Mix all together, set aside.
* Some ready made red-bean paste.
When times come for testing, my daughter prefered the peanuts than the red-bean which she used to favour..;p Guess i should make all with peanuts filling next time.
Anyway it can be any filling that you desire. No matter its sweet or salty, all goes well with this pumpkin pastry.

2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2 Long Term Report 4 of 4Posted in Vehicle Reviews on June 1, 2012
Over the last year we've used our long-term Ford Raptor relentlessly on- and off-road. It's blasted 100-mph down isolated desert dirt roads, hauled a 6,000-pound trailer up and down steep mountain grades, carried bed-loads of motorcycles, gear, and railroad ties, yet has remained civil enough to be one of our favorite commuter vehicles that can even go out on a Friday night. In a word, it's versatile.
During the final quarter of evaluation we had the opportunity to spend a lot of time on the trail in our Ford Raptor F-150 SVT. This included several long-distance tours of the Southern California and Nevada deserts. And even on the return from these trips we decided to veer off the paved highways in favor of some desert two-track. The suspension, while much better off-road than what you would find on a stock ½-ton 4x4 is comparable to an aftermarket lower mid-travel truck suspension. It will handle some bumps in graded roads, but hitting a deep whoop section at speed will beat the truck excessively. You have to pay attention and keep in mind you are only working with 11.2 inches of wheel travel up front and 12.1 inches in the rear.
We noticed that it took significant effort to keep the truck within the confines of the rock-littered edges of a typical trail. The Raptor is quite a bit wider than most other 4x4s. You'll probably be driving the widest truck on the trail unless someone in your group is behind the wheel of a Hummer H1 or a dualie. This becomes even more noticeable on trails where Jeeps and other small vehicles are the norm. Needless to say, the Raptor's tires become very vulnerable at speed when the terrain is loose and rocky. Fortunately we never popped one of the BFG All-Terrain tires but they certainly experienced a few unexpected impacts.
The Raptor suspension flexes well enough to keep the tires on the ground on twisty trails and in most cases you rarely need to actuate the rear locker. Of course since it is a fullsize truck, visibility is limited. We inadvertently nudged a boulder with one of the cast aluminum steps and it simply broke. These steps are not built to be rock sliders, so you'll probably want to limit your rock crawling ventures.
The multiple smaller storage compartments inside the SuperCab Raptor proved to be quite handy, although we wished they had more capacity, especially for off-road camping trips. Also, even though the rear seat folds up for more room in back, the factory subwoofer box and tire jack take up valuable cargo space. At the very least we'd like to see the jack and lug wrench moved elsewhere, perhaps under the hood.
Overall the 2010½ Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2L has been one of our favorite trucks to get behind the wheel of both on- and off-road. It's already an extremely versatile truck. With additional rear storage and more towing capacity it could be even better. Of course, there's always the desire for better fuel economy as well, but we'd be extremely reluctant to give up the 411hp V-8. FW

Mayor Don Wesely today presented three Lincoln elementary school students with awards for winning the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout Letter Writing Contest. The Mayor also recognized several smoke-free businesses and signed a proclamation declaring Thursday, November 15 as Great American Smokeout Day in the city of Lincoln.
"We have seen dramatic changes in use of tobacco in this country, but the fact is that there are still about 47 million adults in the U.S. who smoke and many young people who have taken up the habit," said Mayor Wesely. "Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women, and 80 percent of those cases probably result from smoking. It is extremely important that we encourage smokers to give up the habit and convince our young people not to start."
Ten schools entered the contest, in which Lincoln sixth-graders were asked to write a letter about the importance of being smoke- free. The first place winner is Sarah Kosch of Blessed Sacrament School. Second place went to Jim Morin of St. Teresa's School, and third place went to Kam McKinney of Fredstrom Elementary. The winners received savings bonds from Pinnacle Bank and will be treated to a party with UNL athletes tomorrow.
The businesses recognized for becoming smoke free are Valentino's Pizza, Yassmin Restaurant, the Middle East Market and the Lincoln Electric System.
This is the 25th year the American Cancer Society is sponsoring the Great American Smokeout.
The event encourages smokers to give up cigarettes for one day in an effort to convince them to quit for good and educates the public about the dangers of smoking and second- hand smoke.
"This year's Smokeout focuses on the importance of clean air," said Cindy Wostrel, Chairwoman of the Tobacco Free Lincoln Coalition. "Exposure to second-hand smoke is the third most common cause of preventable death."
Wostrel said the Tobacco Free Nebraska Program recently kicked off a statewide anti-tobacco media campaign, which includes messages aimed at young people. The campaign is part of the three-year program, which is funded in part by Nebraska's share of the national tobacco settlement.

DiCarlo: In the Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield, there is a sentence that reads, "History is not just the evolution of technology; it is the evolution of thought. By understanding the reality of the people who came before us, we can see why we look at the world the way we do, and what our contribution is toward further progress. We can pinpoint where we come in so to speak, in the longer development of Civilization, and that gives us a sense of where we are going." Would you care to comment upon that in terms of your book, The Passion of the Western Mind??
Tarnas: The Passion of The Western Mind is a history of Western thought from the ancient Greeks to the postmodern period. I had several different motives in writing the book but one of the motives was this: if we are to understand where we are now in our history, if we are to understand our moment in history and where we are potentially going in the future, we need to know what brought us to this point. That means recovering the sources of our world and our world view. I think the two go together. A world view has a tremendous influence in configuring the way the world turns out to be. The way we approach reality will influence the kind of reality we create. It's very important to know what are the basic principles and presuppositions in our world view because they will go a long way towards revealing how our world has been constellated. A big motive in writing the book was to understand all the different impulses and strands of thought and cultural influences that have gone into creating the way we look at the world and the way our world has come to be in our time.
One of the paradoxes of the Western intellectual tradition is that though it is seen at any given point as "a tradition" and therefore a tradition of conservative elders with an established, authoritarian and therefore potentially oppressive, or stodgy or too traditional character-in fact the major thinkers who have made up that tradition have all been counter-cultural rebels and revolutionaries in their own time, whether we are talking about Socrates, Descartes, Galileo, Nietzsche, or Freud. The rebel in one generation becomes the ruler in a later generation, just as, archetypally speaking, the son becomes the father. We see in the West's whole evolution that we are in many ways deeply informed by this tradition, even when we are rebelling against it. The very principle of critical response to an intellectual tradition is absolutely basic to our Western tradition. Even at the moment we rebel against it, we are fulfilling this grand tradition.
One other general point I might make here: The Western intellectual and spiritual tradition, up until this generation, has been a patrilineal tradition. For the most part it's been constituted by men, who were usually writing for other men. This has had a great influence on the nature of the Western mind and the nature of the Western world view. It has tremendously affected our understanding of the human being, of the relationship of the human being to the world. It's affected our understanding of the divine and the human being's relationship to the divine. It's had a radical influence on our history.
DiCarlo: How would you define a world view? If we are to say that a world view is a paradigm, are there different paradigms for different fields, such as a scientific paradigm let's say, or is there an over-arching, meta-paradigm that is perhaps more basic, and upon which the others are constructed?
Tarnas: I think there are different levels of paradigms. A world view, which is the most general level, is a set of values, of conceptual structures, of implicit assumptions or pre-suppositions about the nature of reality-about human beings, about the nature of the relationship between human beings and nature, about history, the divine, the cosmos- which constellate an entire culture's way of being and acting. There are many levels to a world view, many inflections to it and many ways it can be differentiated. So for example, there can be a general scientific paradigm which is allied with and in some ways reflective of this larger cultural world view. There is a give-and-take relationship between the two. It's not a one way street. Scientific paradigms can affect the cultural world view, but also, the cultural world view can go through shifts such as it is right now, which will in turn affect scientists and how they go about doing their work and how they go about making sense of reality. So it goes both ways.
Not only is there a scientific paradigm, there are many scientific paradigms. There's a different paradigm, say, operative in evolutionary biology than there is in quantum physics or depth psychology. All of these have claimed to be scientific paradigms, and they may have a more or less conscious relationship with each other, but they are all scientific paradigms. Even within each field, such as depth psychology, or quantum physics, there may be several paradigms within that discipline. For example, there are eight different paradigms of reality in quantum physics that are currently in the arena of discussion. So there can be many different paradigms even within a given field.
I would suggest that at any given time in a culture, in a civilization's history, there is usually one overarching meta-paradigm that underlies all the rest and that affects all the rest and is in a reciprocal relationship to all the "sub-paradigms," let's say, which can be active in science, religion, philosophy and so forth.
DiCarlo: How do world views change?
Tarnas: Many factors are involved in a world-view shift. I believe that you can never say that it's a specific rational or empirical factor that shifts a world view. For example, let's say new data comes in through a new scientific instrument, such as the telescope, which revealed the heavens in a new way through Galileo's interpretations and helped bring about the Copernican revolution. I would say that, generally speaking, it's never an exclusively empirical or rational process. Many factors converge to make possible the world-view shift. There are sociological changes that take place and make it possible, including things like the death of old-paradigm thinkers in a given field. As they die, their authoritative views disappear with them and the younger thinkers in the field bring with them a more flexible perspective that hasn't had a life-long investment in a given world view. As a result, what is purely a matter of sociology and demographics has an influence on the cultural world view. There can also be shifts in the religious and psychological orientation of a culture which bring about a shift in world view. There are so many factors that go into it.
For example, in the Copernican revolution, there seems to have been a kind of vast psychological shift that occurred in 15th century Italy, that we now regard as the Humanist Renaissance. This brought with it a certain sense of the world as being numinously alive with divine order and meaning. This helped to create a context within which Copernicus and Kepler's thinking could develop in such as way that the Copernican revolution was made possible. It included the mathematization of the world, the spiritual exaltation of the sun, and the idea that the cosmos could be best understood as the emanation of a divine intelligence whose language was one of supremely beautiful, mathematical order. These are basic presuppositions that were in the air in Renaissance Italy that affected Copernicus, Kepler, and later Galileo, Newton, and Descartes in such a way that the entire Scientific Revolution was deeply influenced by what many scientists would consider non-scientific factors.
So many factors go into a world-view change. Personally, I believe that world views change when the archetypal configuration of the collective psyche-or the collective unconscious, to use Carl Jung's term- goes through some fundamental shift. That shift is only partly responsive to human free will. To a great extent it takes place with a certain autonomous, organic power that we as human beings participate in, and are influenced by. Certainly we are not entirely in charge of this process, although I think we play a crucial role and have a crucial responsibility for its unfolding.
DiCarlo: So there's a shift that takes place at what we would refer to as the unconscious level of the psyche-although unconscious is a misleading term since it is unconscious only in the sense that we are not yet directly aware of these levels-that sort of percolates up to the level of conscious, normal everyday awareness?
Tarnas: That's right.
DiCarlo: Now you've mentioned that a world view would not likely shift simply as a result of the taking in of new scientific data. Expanding on that thought, would you say that a person's world view might change by reading a book, let's say on quantum physics, which might cause them to revise their thoughts on a subject. Must such a shift in world view be preceded in some way by a personal experience which reveals to them that "things are not the way they seem?"
Tarnas: I don't think it necessarily has to be preceded by an experience like that, because sometimes reading a book on quantum physics or on Eastern mysticism can itself suddenly precipitate a shift. But I believe a shift in the individual person's world view can happen only when there has been a certain development-however hidden it may have been-that has brought that person to a point of preparedness, or readiness, or ripeness. In this sense, the book serves as sort of an activating trigger or impulse.
The book itself can play a major role in precipitating a shift in world view, but that shift is not just a purely intellectual process. In a way, I think it is a moment of grace that uses the book as the efficient cause, but ultimately, it was something that person was ready for. He or she was ready to be drawn forth in that way, ready to be led forth. The original meaning of education was "to be led out from within"-to have one's own truth be led out from within by skillful teaching. In that sense, education, or a change in a world view is never something that can be simply imposed from without or that takes place simply due to instruction by an external person or book. It is something inside that is ready to emerge, ready to be born within the individual's consciousness.
DiCarlo: In his ground-breaking work on paradigm shifts, Thomas Kuhn goes so far as to say that a shift in world view is actually a conversion experience. Why is it so profound, seeming to affect an individual at their very core?
Tarnas: A world-view shift is something that reflects a very profound archetypal dynamic in the psyche whereby one goes through what closely resembles a perinatal process-a birth process. One has been within a "womb," that is, a matrix of thought, a conceptual matrix, a conceptual womb for quite a while. You've developed within it, you've seen the world by means of it, and you have gotten more and more developed, complex, large, differentiated, until that conceptual matrix is no longer large enough to contain your evolving mind. It becomes seen as a problem, or constriction. It is seen as something to be overcome and a crisis is created. In the course of a very critical period of transition, of tension, of deconstruction, of disorientation, a sudden new birth is precipitated into a new conceptual matrix. There is a sudden revelation of a new Universe, which seems to open up. I think that this experience of a shift in a world view is such that one in many ways has re-experienced one's own birth on an intellectual level. It involves this very deep archetypal death and re-birth process. So whether it's a shift in a world view or a religious conversion experience, both participate in this larger perinatal sequence, this archetypal dialectic, which I believe underlies what Kuhn calls "the structure of scientific revolution" and which underlies radical spiritual transformations, such as what St. John of the Cross called "The Dark Night of The Soul" and experiences of spiritual rebirth. A similar death-rebirth process can be recognized in the dissolution of the communist empire in eastern Europe and the sudden euphoric birth after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It can manifest in many different ways.

Mars Global Surveyor
Goals: Mars Global Surveyor was sent to the Red Planet to study the surface features and geological processes; determine the composition, distribution and physical properties of minerals, rocks and ice; map global topography and monitor the planet's weather.
Accomplishments: Mars Global Surveyor operated longer at Mars than any other spacecraft of its time, and for more than four times as long as the prime mission originally planned. The spacecraft returned detailed information that has overhauled our understanding of Mars. Major findings include dramatic evidence that water still flows in short bursts down hillside gullies, and identification of deposits of water-related minerals leading to selection of a Mars rover landing site.

No, it's not some new firefighter hazing. The Sauk Centre Fire Department — a 30 member all-volunteer firefighting crew — was fundraising at a St. Patrick's Day parade, dressed in drag to entertain the crowd — because, you know, pretending to be women is funny. When the fire began to spread, they hitched up their dresses and fought it.
Although one would assume it's dangerous to try and extinguish a fire without all the right gear, but with the fire spreading from their truck to a nearby SUV, the volunteers could not wait the 15 minutes for the nearest emergency crew to arrive.
According to bystander Paul Streitz, who caught the action on camera, on his Facebook page:
Hey lets put this in to perspective.. The Sudan [sic] Volunteer fire department was in Padua to do community service for the parade a fire brakes out and if they were to say lets wait for the fire department that is assigned to this area to get here (15miles away) because we are not in proper gear what would people say? They were in line for the parade 300 yards away and in my opinion did an amazing job.. If anything we should be thankful for the work they did.
And dresses be damned, they put out the fire.

Aldi is recalling three flavors of its Fit and Active frozen dinners after an Omaha family found a steel clamp sealed in a sesame chicken frozen entree.
"If' it's from a machine. If it's a practical joke. Well, it's not really funny just because if there's small pieces," explained mom Karen Kader
Kader purchased the sesame chicken frozen entree two weeks prior at a local Aldi store.
"I was trying to explain to [my daughter Ashley] that this is more meatier and stick to your bones more than this it's heavier. Little did we know why," said Kader
Bellisio Foods, which manufactured the frozen dinner, has launched an investigation to determine how the clamp snuck by their scales and metal detectors.
As for Ashley, she seemed more fazed that the preparation instructions didn't include a contingency for metal clamps:
It disturbed me that, for one, I wouldn't haven't eaten it anyway–but I was going to give my sister food and I can't microwave this with metal in it.

(Columbus, OH
Aug. 20, 2013) A select group of Ohio Dominican
University (ODU)
students will have a clear and direct path to the Ohio University
Heritage College of
Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) through a new "ODU-to-OU-HCOM Med
School Early Acceptance Program."
"We are proud and honored that the Ohio University Heritage College
of Osteopathic
Medicine selected Ohio Dominican University as a partner for the
'Med School Early
Acceptance Program,'" said ODU President Peter Cimbolic, Ph.D., at a
ceremony where
the presidents signed the agreement between their universities,
officially opening the
program for enrollment. "This demonstrates their high regard for
Ohio Dominican's
students and faculty, and the superior quality of the pre-med
education that we deliver."
Ohio Dominican is recruiting now for the first class that will begin
in fall of 2014.
The university will accept as many as 10 outstanding high school
seniors from Ohio
annually, and they will be assured of acceptance into OU-HCOM as
long as they meet
and maintain the rigorous academic standards set by both
institutions. Students will have
the opportunity to follow two paths to completion: They can attend
ODU for three years and complete their senior requirements during
their first year of medical school; or they can
choose a four-year option at ODU prior to studying at OU-HCOM.
Students then apply to
attend OU-HCOM campuses in Athens, Dublin or Cleveland. More
information on the
program can be found at www.ohiodominican.edu/MSEA.
One challenge in addressing the state's primary health care
physician shortage is keeping graduates in Ohio. "Many Ohio
Dominican alumni tend to stay in Ohio after graduation,"
said President Cimbolic. "We are hopeful the graduates of this
excellent program will
remain in the state to become practitioners of primary care
medicine, and we're eager to
begin recruiting the first class of students who will benefit from
this exciting collaboration
between two of Ohio's foremost universities."
"Since its founding in 1975, our medical school has dedicated itself
to addressing some of
the most pressing health care needs in the state by recruiting from
Ohio and creating
opportunities to practice in Ohio, especially as primary care
physicians," said Ohio
University President Roderick J. McDavis, Ph.D. "This new
partnership with Ohio
Dominican University is a great example of how higher education
institutions can work
together to achieve those aims. It also provides a wonderful
opportunity for some of Ohio's
finest aspiring physicians."
"The Early Acceptance Program offers outstanding students an
opportunity to earn their
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree in as few as seven years from
one of the top
programs in the nation," said ODU Vice President for Academic
Affairs Theresa Holleran,
Ph.D. "The fact that students can begin their college education at
Ohio Dominican
University and make a seamless transition to OU-HCOM makes this one
of the most
appealing programs of its kind."
OU-HCOM Executive Dean Kenneth Johnson, D.O., explained that with 50
percent of its
alumni practicing primary care, OU-HCOM is positioned to address a
national shortage of
primary care physicians that is expected to exceed 45,000 within the
next decade. Those
living in rural or inner-city medically underserved areas will be
hit the hardest. "With almost
60 percent of OU-HCOM graduates practicing in Ohio," added Dr.
Johnson, "programs like
this that provide a shorter, intentional path to medical school will
enable us to meaningfully
address that shortage right here in our state."
This joint program is available to select
undergraduate students who:
Have achieved a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher, and
have received a score of
at least 28 on their ACT.
Have completed four years of English, Mathematics and
Science courses,
including Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
To remain in the program, students must meet certain criteria, which
include maintaining a
3.7 overall cumulative GPA and a 3.6 cumulative GPA in all
undergraduate science courses.
To qualify for the first class entering in the fall of 2014, high
school seniors must be
admitted to ODU no later than Nov. 15, 2013. Qualified applicants
will be interviewed and
accepted into the program by ODU and OU-HCOM administrators.
Ohio Dominican University is a four-year private liberal arts and
master's institution,
founded in 1911 in the Catholic Dominican tradition. The University
has approximately
2,700 students and offers undergraduate degrees in 43 majors as well
as nine graduate
degree programs. Ohio Dominican uses a student-centered approach,
with a commitment
to quality teaching and learning.
The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine is a
national leader in
training primary care physicians. The college is number one in Ohio
and 11th nationally in
medical schools that graduate physicians who practice in underserved
rural areas. The
state's only osteopathic medical school, the college opens a new
site in Dublin, Ohio, in
2014, and in northeast Ohio in affiliation with Cleveland Clinic in

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll wants his team to forget what happened a month ago.
The Seahawks hammered the New Orleans Saints in a convincing 34-7 victory in Seattle on Dec. 2. New Orleans' high-powered offense was held to just 188 yards in the game and Drew Brees posted one of the worst performances of his career with the Saints. Brees threw for just 147 yards on 38 attempts. The 3.9 yards per attempt was the lowest mark during his tenure in New Orleans.
The two teams meet again this Saturday in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs.
Despite the dominant performance against New Orleans, Carroll says the Seahawks have to start anew and put last month's victory out of their minds.
"Start all over again," Carroll said. "It has nothing to do with what happened before. We learned and we gained information in the game, as they did. We start all over again and really start from scratch."
"I think it would be a mistake to try and call it because of what's happened in the past. We don't care about that."
In the first meeting, the Saints tried to pressure Russell Wilson and Seattle made them pay. The Seahawks took advantage of miscommunications in man coverage by the Saints to hit a big play to Zach Miller and a touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin. Baldwin also beat safety Malcolm Jenkins in man coverage as Seattle caught the Saints in an all-out blitz.
In addition to the big plays from Seattle's offense, the Saints couldn't move the ball against Seattle's defense either. The Saints rushed for just 44 yards. Jimmy Graham was held to three catches for 42 yards and the Saints' only touchdown of the game.
But the Saints earned their first road playoff victory in franchise history on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles and are going to want to prove they're better than the performance they posted five weeks ago. Carroll said making sure his players know they can't expect the same outcome because of how they played in the last meeting will be a major focal point this week for the coaching staff.
"They're going to hear about it," Carroll said. "I think it's just common knowledge and human nature that you'd like to think it's going to be the same but we know better than that. We need to respect this opportunity for what it is. It's a great championship matchup for us and they're going to come loaded up and give us a great football game."

Students are prepping for school and freshmen and seniors can have a difficult time adjusting to the changes.
Students are prepping for school and freshmen and seniors can have a difficult time adjusting to the changes.
"Seniors seem to get spring fever," Rebecca Cox, SHS counselor said. "They are ready to go, excited at the beginning of the year. Then comes mid-term and it is hard for them.
"All seniors have to meet with me to discuss TOPS, ACT, grad requirements, schedules or anything they have questions about," she said. "And their parents are more than welcome to come too."
The state and TOPS is requiring more time from seniors now, but this can have advantages as well, said Tracy Risser, SHS teacher.
"There is the dual enrollment program offered now through ULM," Risser said. "Since the seniors have to take more classes now, they can always get ahead and take some freshmen college courses."
Risser said there are seven courses offered through the dual enrollment program, but students must meet the required 3.0 g.p.a. and have a minimum score of 18 in English and 19 in math on the ACT.
As for freshmen, Cox said most have it easier this school year because they will already know their way around the high school.
"This group of ninth graders we have now will have an easier time," she said. "They were here in seventh grade because the middle school was here then. Now they will be back in their old building again."
Cox said the largest problem she has seen with freshmen is the lack of organizational skills.
"I have seen this with freshmen and seventh graders," she said.
Risser said the first day of school is a half-day for ninth and tenth graders, and unlike middle school, not all students will be taking the same classes, therefore there are no school supply lists until after the first day.
"High school is just different because they have more freedom," she said. "They have the ability to start tracking and preparing more for the future than ever before."
Cox said freshmen orientation and parent night will be held soon, but the date is undecided.
"All incoming freshmen will get a postcard in the mail as for the date," she said.

Our property is a contemporary place yet essentially Konkani in nature! It is designed in such a way that one feels at home yet away from home!
A perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate! Once here you could simply stretch out, soak sights and sounds of Konkan. Or just go to the sea which is 4 minutes walk from the wadi.
Property is spread over 40,000 sq ft of lush greenery abundance with coconut, betelnut, jackfruit, banana & pineapple plantation.
Among this greenery, there is a house built in typical Konkani style with ample space of parking. Your personal visit once with the family is essential wherein you will experience the hide and seek game of sun and shadows, waking up to the chirping sounds of birds as well as quintessential sound of sea!

Econologics Institute
Econologics Institute creates books, audio and video courses, and live seminars and professional training in the area of financial planning and economics. This is a new method of providing financial education to the public, as well as financial professionals. It creates millionaire households who are protected and debt-free.
I would also like to see Econologics with the icon (with Institute deleted from the logo). I'm leaning toward the one word logo with the icon.
I want the abstract mark (to the left of the text) to be used for internet button and icon (like the F for Facebook) This will become an iPad button eventually as well as other uses. I eventually want the shield mark or whatever it turns out to be, to be able to be used alone and be recognized (like the apple for Apple, Inc.)
My clients are business owners from age 30-65, mostly doctors or other professionals, equally men and women, and professional financial advisors (who I train in Econologics methods) from all over North America. They value competence, qualifications and experience. Most of all -- Excellent Results!
I like the shield due to protection and knowledge concepts.
Here is the Credo of Econologics -- the basic beliefs of the institute and the subject. It should give an idea to the overall communication of the logo.
1. Productive people have basic human rights to personal wealth and prosperity.
2. The basics of personal finance and economics are simple to understand.
3. The subjects of personal finance and economics are made unnecessarily complex and difficult to understand to the degree that they serve special interests.
4. The application of basic natural laws of personal finance and economics can improve the financial condition of any household.
5. The standardization and codification of the goals, purposes, policies and procedures of personal financial planning creates a solution that is effective and useful for every household.
6. The condition of the national or world economy is a sum of the economic conditions of its households and that improvement of the larger economy starts with the improvement of the financial condition of each household.
7. There is an optimum financial condition for any household which can be defined, measured and experienced.
8. Education on the natural laws and standard procedures in the fields of personal financial planning and economics is necessary in attaining an optimum financial condition.
9. The optimum financial condition can only be achieved by resolving problems related to all 9 elements of a comprehensive financial plan.
10. The activity of Econologics is to attain and maintain the optimum financial condition for a household by implementing financial solutions based on natural law and not arbitrary opinions to the highest possible degree.
11. The purpose of Econologics is to improve the financial condition of the household toward the optimum so that the most valued goals and purposes of its members can be fully realized.
12. The goal of Econologics is help people gain confidence and certainties in their financial decisions so they can own their own lives.

The messed up thing about cancer is, everything goes on. Your life is like it is right now, except you are sick all the time and have a ton of new bills.
I read on Patrick Stuart's blog the other day,
Guys with a significant impact in forming the social and interest groupings that lead into the modern OSR but so far as I know, not currently deeply engaged with online social stuff at the moment, with them concentrating on other things.Well, yes. I've been concentrating on other things. In the last three years, I've had to deal with cancer, divorce, custody arrangements, two moves, some of my best friends moving away, the death of my father, and other minor stressors aside. I know this breaks my rule about talking about myself on the blog. It's a good rule. People shouldn't do it.
I had something of an epiphany the other day.
I was hospitalized the year before this string of disasters, due to a stress-induced ischemia. For those of you that don't know, that means I have a mental disorder that gave my intestines a heart attack.
I don't ever, ever, talk about this. I think the majority of people who do talk about problems like this are attention seeking. I am on very strong medication since that medical event.
The important thing is, even though I know better, I am beset by fears of all the worst kinds. My first thought is, "What is the worst possible outcome of this situation?"
Well, let me tell you. Every single one of my fears came true. Every single one. If I were to list everything my deepest darkest fears about the future would hold—the fears that literally almost killed me and landed me in the hospital—you would find that they all came true. One after the other after the other after the other.
Aaaand, *pats self down*, I'm somehow still here. At some point something changed. Either the medicine is really working or just after responding to nightmare after nightmare my ability to respond to new disasters is just muted; I don't know. What I do know, is I've spent most of the last three years just coping instead of working because of the stress. And now, nothing has changed. Disasters still loom. I'm still fighting for custody. I'm still dealing with very serious fires.
But I don't feel like I need to spend all my time coping and recovering. What I feel like, is I want to get back to damn work making dungeons filled with green gas. So, uh, I'm going to be doing that.
This message isn't about the blog. It's about taking steps for me, moving forward in this crisis. Being less closed up and connecting with more people. So, in order to do that, instead of posting something on my blog every day in April, which is full of a lot of meaningless noise, I'm going to post something every day on my social media about my life. Sharing thoughts and pictures. Some will be about gaming. If you're interested, I'm on Facebook here, and Google + here. It's a way of moving forward.
Blogwise, some work and surprises are in store for April. I'm only going to break one rule in this post ("Don't talk about yourself") not two ("Don't talk about what you're going to do on your blog") I look forward to seeing you.
P.S. Could you imagine doing a Kickstarter or something and having this happen? The added guilt of people who gave you money on the front end? It doesn't absolve anyone, but I'm glad I didn't have a situation like that.

Except for exceptions, I post only weekly, not just because the vacuum beckons and I need to remember I have children, but because my habit is to rework my "Tales" as I would any manuscript for publication.
Or maybe I'm just a middle-aged creature of habit; of letting my bathroom sink metabolize into a sloppy toothpaste mess; of allowing generations of dust bunnies to propagate like gerbils under our beds; of searching out, like a missing sock, the perfect word to match my meaning. But I am also a revisionist, as all I ever wanted was to be a writer (before I discovered weaving but that is for W).
