Schematic heat map showing the distribution of matches to the model across the genome.
The hit distribution of R1_DM across the chromosomes. More...
As many TE entries match hundreds of thousands of instances in a given genome, it is difficult to provide all matches via a web interface or as a multiple sequence alignment. In order to provide access to the matches, the graphic below has been developed that presents the distribution of hits organized on a karyotype ideogram. Hits are binned in 1 Mbp regions, with counts in each bin distinguished by colour and with bin sizes specific to each model. When a region of the hit-distribution ideogram is clicked, the hits in that region will be loaded below the karyotype ideogram. Each hit can be expanded to reveal the alignment between the hit sequence and the model. A full listing of hits (but not alignments) for an entry may be retrieved from the download page. All hits can be download as a tab delimited file from here.
By default, the page represents non-redundant hits (hits for which this model is deemed to fit the sequence better than any other Dfam model), but the image and hit lists can be toggled to show redundant hit distributions (including hits that score higher against other models). The ideogram can also be toggled to reveal the canonical Giemsa stain banding of the chromosomes, providing a reference to positional context. It is important to remember TEs split by more recently mobile TEs have not been aggregated, so older fragmented TEs may be counted as multiple instances.

Delaware Online Public Health Graduate Certificates
Often designed with the mid-career professional in mind, Public Health Certificate Online Graduate programs offer a convenient alternative to traditional campus settings. Many universities and colleges have distance learning options for students who live too far, have to balance a full-time job or family obligations with their coursework.
Graduate Certificates in Public Health
Public Health comprises quite a few subfields from epidemiology and biostatistics to health services and health education. If you are not quite ready for a graduate degree but do want to update your present top competencies and knowledge base, an online public health graduate certificate warrants some consideration.
Online Public Health Certificate: Program Basics
Many accredited Public Health Graduate Schools have online graduate certificate programs which consist of anywhere from 9 to 21 credit units of advanced coursework in public health topics (e.g. biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health policy and health administration, social and behavioral sciences)[i].
In some cases, the credits earned may be applied to a more advanced degree (such as the MPH or MSPH). In fact, some students might enroll in Public Health Graduate Certificate Online programs instead of a full graduate degree as they are shorter in duration, and offer take-away knowledge of current best practices if you are currently working in the field.
On the professional side, graduate certificate programs provide continuing education credit opportunities for many careers. Those seeking to refocus or boost their current careers without enrolling in an entirely new Public Health degree program may also benefit from graduate certificate programs.
FACT: The focus of a public health intervention is to prevent and manage diseases, injuries and other health conditions through surveillance of cases
and the promotion of healthy behaviors, communities and environments[ii].
Potential Features of Public Health Certificate Online Graduate Programs
Referred to in some descriptive texts as 'convenient' and 'flexible', Public Health Certificate Online Graduate Programs are certainly different from traditional campus programs in that there is no regular commute; you do have the leeway to schedule study when you have the time for it. However, not all programs are the same so as you explore some choices, make sure to see whether it truly matches your needs. Here are a few points to consider:
- A fully online graduate Certificate in Public Health program is typically one where you have access to your courses on a 24/7 basis. These courses are asynchronous, meaning they are prerecorded. The potential advantage to this is that you can be anywhere you have Internet and log into your course management system. This same web portal is usually the way assignments are submitted.
- A partially online Public Health Graduate Certificate Program typically means that the majority of your courses are delivered via web with the exception of the courses that require live demonstration, in-person participation or meetings that you need to be present for. It may also mean that some of your lectures are live-streaming.
- Support systems for online programs may be the same as for the campus programs, although certainly, there should be a strong tech support in addition to student services
- Staying connected to classmates and professors may be via email, text, web chat or participation in group forums.
- Faculty may or may not be the same professors who teach the on-campus programs; this is definitely something to find out when you have narrowed down a few online universities.
- In terms of facilities, if you will have laboratory requirements, find out how to fulfill these in a distance-learning program.
Types of Public Health Certificate Online Graduate Programs
There are any number of options for Public Health Certificate Online Graduate Programs from general areas in public health through to quite targeted areas such as:
- Bioethics Online Graduate Certificate Programs
- Epidemiology Online Graduate Certificate Programs
- Health Education & Communication Online Graduate Certificate Programs
- International Health Online Graduate Certificate Programs
- Occupational Health & Safety Online Graduate Certificate Programs
Potential Curriculum
Curriculum for online Graduate Certificates in Public Health varies between universities and is dependent on 'what' you are studying. Some topics that students might learn could include:
- Basic Principles of Epidemiology
- Public Health Policy
- Environmental Health
- Workplace Health and Safety
- Biostatistics
- Behavioral Aspects of Public Health
Accreditation is just as important for Public Health Certificate Online Graduate Programs as for campus ones. You can check this easily; in the U.S., The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) is the agency which accredits schools of public health and programs of public health. They are approved by the U.S. Department of Education.[iii]
Take the Next Step
If you have limited time to pursue a campus-based full graduate degree, earning a Graduate Public Health Certificate Online may provide the skill enhancement you are seeking. Why not take the next step and review sponsored listings today!

Captain Colin needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 114 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Captain Coffee
This is VERY brand new so the concept is evolving & you can be free to influence. I want to sell coffee & later cookies (Captain Cookie - separate design later - captaincookie.com.au) via captaincoffee.com.au I want a character that people might identify with (like Ronald MacDonald but I think he's plastic & boring) that will be on my website, coffee packaging etc & that I might dress up as too if I go to shows, shopping centres etc. I'll probably have some byline like "Bringing the World's BEST Coffee to You". I plan on a blog, social media etc so I am responsive to the market. Friendly, "I hear you and respond" etc. Will have a Captain's Club, retail sales, online sales, sell from kiosks at fairs etc.
I want to get to people that may not currently drink "real coffee" but do drink "instant". They are probably 30-70 years old, male & female & all in Australia & later I'll target New Zealand. They are probably middle-upper socio-economic where food & drink matter but probably not at the very "top end". I want to persuade them that bean coffee can be quick & easy to prepare (they are likely time-poor), well-priced and VERY nice to drink. I plan to EDUCATE them on coffee & then persuade them to buy it both online & in shops, markets etc.
As I want to change their ways, although Captain Coffee is a cartoon "person" he is also discerning, reasonably colouful - but not "silly". Maybe he (I don't think that "she" works but I'll be guided) has a "coffee bean" face or a "coffee bean hat". Maybe he IS a coffee bean! Maybe he has a deeply lined, coffee face. Maybe he sails a boat (although that may deflect from his message). I don't know - but I hope that you can show me!
I want this character to be recognised as I promote and to tie all of my marketing together on my web page, in-store posters, coffee cups, educational material (I'll have quite a bit of that as I have to change perceptions) & maybe a dress-up costume.
I don't have any particular colours in mind but "coffee" and later "cookie" would seem to dictate a band of colours don't you think?

Our Legacy
Founded in 2005 by childhood friends Jockum Hallin and Christopher Nying, Our Legacy clothing began as a T-shirt line. It debuted its first full collection in 2008, and the Swedish label has since gained a dedicated following for its subtly subversive take on Scandinavian minimalism—think casual staples like bomber jackets and button-up shirts designed with unexpected fabrics, graphic patterns, and exaggerated proportions.

Rhode Island... Delaware... Philadelphia...
Item # 639427
July 23, 1778
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, July 23, 1778 Inside has a report from Philadelphia noting: "...account of the Trident being safe in the Delaware on the 5th of June...the part of the army which was to go by land from Philadelphia to New York were on their march in the Jersies...ready to proceed to New York with the rest of the forces, & a number of the inhabitants who had quitted that city being unwilling to remain there when it should be in the hands of the Provincials...an attack had been made on Gen. Pigot's forces on Rhode Island in which the Provincial forces were repulsed and several officers taken prisoners."
Another page has a letter concerning Spain in relation to America, including: "...there is not in the nature of things a more effectual way to rob Old Spain of her American territories than by supporting the Anglo-Americans in their independence...the British colonies were restrained by their dependence on England...By the independence of British North America this restrains would be taken off..." with more (see for portions).
There is also some war-related content on the back page, including: "...The troops crossed into the Jerseys yesterday morning...on their march to New York after evacuating Philadelphia. Lord Howe...hourly expected to proceed to New York..." (see).
Complete in eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, this issue is in very nice and clean condition.

NEW YORK Nick Kyrgios' vanquished opponent defended the teenager's on-court conduct after the Australian flirted with disqualification from the US Open on Monday.
Kyrgios backed up his Wimbledon slaying of Rafael Nadal with a stirring 7-5 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 7-6 (7-1) victory over classy Russian Mikhail Youzhny on his Flushing Meadows main-draw debut.
But the 19-year-old stood just one point away from being forfeited after earning three code violations during the tense and high-quality three-hour encounter on Show Court 17.
Kyrgios smashed a ball out of the stadium in frustration during the second set, then dropped the F-bomb before being docked a game in the fourth set for a second audible obscenity.
"Most players never even see that (game) penalty. I've seen it," tennis superbrat John McEnroe said while commentating on American television.
In Kyrgios's defence, he was only penalised a game - to fall behind 3-1 in the set - because his third offence came on game point against him.
Unfazed, he held his next service game to love before breaking back to advance to the second round in an otherwise impressive performance.
Youzhny, one of the tour's elder statesmen and a two-time Open semi-finalist, felt Kyrgios's behaviour was little more than a display of passion and youthful exuberance.
"He's young. I mean, it's normal. It's emotion, it's everything," Youzhny said.
"He looks like he has lots of emotions. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it's not (helping)."
Kyrgios conceded his outbursts probably don't help and that he was trying to eliminate them from his game.
"It just comes from having high expectations most of the time," he said.
"I have been an emotional player most of my career. Maybe I will be able to manage it in the future.
"It's a work in progress. It's something that's always been there."
Kyrgios admitted before the Open he was feeling the weight of expectation from back in Australia and said Monday's dummy spits were "I guess just heat of the moment".
"I was frustrated the way I was playing, and, yeah, it was just all that sort of stuff," he said.
"It was just an outburst, and hopefully I will be able to control that the next time I play."
Youzhny tipped a bright future for the former world junior champion.
"He played well. We saw already at Wimbledon how he can play," the Russian said.
"He beat some good players and I think if he works hard he will have a good future."

What's in the news? Drunken footballers gangbanging drunken teenage girls? The Federal Budget? *yawn* i'm so over the real world. How about Texts From Last Night? This is my new favourite site of the moment. How could one resist this conversation?
(216): Where the fuck is Rob at, he hasnt answered his phone in like 2 weeks.
(440): Dude Rob died 2 weeks ago wtf?
(216): Holy shit r u serious? How?
(440): Just kidding, but im pretty sure he boned your gf and doesnt want to talk to you.
Or this bit of poignancy.
(404): I just poured my flask into a drink. Then I realized the drink belonged to the guy next to me so I stole it from him. He confronted me and I made out with him to distract him. When I looked up, I realized his wife was watching. Its barely 10:00.
We've all been there. Then there's possibly my favourite conversation:
(212): i want you now
(916): you need to stop dating girls with the same name as your mother…or stop drinking so much…I don't want to see this
You can see why i love it. If you get bored with Texts from Last Night, on the right of their page you'll find Flickr from Last Night. Nothing like porn and other people to put everything in perspective.
Other things making me laugh this week include the Cute Food Blog – which makes me laugh in a delighted way and go ohh! Beautiful food pictures – the gingerbread house is to die for.
Then there was the Slave Control Software site, for those who would like to be sexually controlled, but are afraid of humans or perhaps humans won't meet them in real life.
Some people have lost the notion that sexual roleplay is actually just roleplay. That made me laugh then stop laughing as i realised it was for real. Well, as real as automated cybersex can be.
One can go all the way in the non-human stakes. No, i don't mean one of those blow up sex sheep (real) or a RealHamster (funny funny funny) – i'm talking Real Dolls. These are carefully crafted sexually-accurate mannequins that are supposed to look realistic. For mannequins, i suppose they do. They come in female or male with just a torso if you don't want all that weight.
The funniest part about Real Dolls is how much people pay for them. They cost over $6,000 US (approx 7,600 Aussie), and up. There was a documentary years ago about the female Real Dolls and the men who buy them, dress them, and take them on picnics.
Oh yeah, and have sex with them – you can buy spare vaginas or other bits, the ones that wear first, and when you wear them a bit thin in a few places, you can send them back for refurbishment.
If you belong to a dating site, you can bet you'll see pictures of Real Dolls on them, but they'll be pretending to be real women. People are strange. Sexually, people are very, very strange. Me probably heaps more than you, I'm not being judgemental.
Unless you're the guy who (tried to find link to his site, but i can't) had the fetish of building models of skyscrapers, about 3′ tall (one metre) and then sitting on them. Not inserting them, just crushing them under his butt like a Godzilla who needed to sit down. Ooh yeah, baby!
I'm also not stranger than you, if you're the chick with the octopus up her i saw yesterday. It was an accident, i didn't go looking for octopus porn. I mean, me seeing it was an accident.
It might have been an accident, I suppose, I don't know how she got the octopus up there. Perhaps she "fell on it and it just shot up there" or something like that. It looked alive, which was a scary thought.
You get a whole new kind of follower on Twitter when you say words with porn in them, like "porn" or even "sex". You can try not to say certain words, or put a break in them – like por n or p*rn – but marketing, media, sex, porn, tentacles, PR, and SM are all words/initials i use. Though i mean Sadism and Masochism, they mean Social Media.
I lost five followers right after the below, i'm not sure if it's coincidence.
@BernardKeane said "Apropos of nothing, I hate Deepak Chopra. Just saying."
I Retweeted that, and added my own touch.
lol – while we're confessing, Tony Robbins die die die
RT @BernardKeane Apropos of nothing, I hate Deepak Chopra. Just saying.
Boom, five followers shed. I experimented with posting links to robot porn – among other things – and this one below, but nobody unfollowed me.
(warning – adult again) and the award for the most gratuitous camel toe pics goes to the camel toe eraser!
Camel toe's okay, but you cannot diss Tony Robbins. There is no rhyme or reason to Twitter. Oh – camel toe? It's when your pubic area shows bisected through your clothes. Like when jeans ride up at the front. The above link is to a place that's giving them away for a competition. This anti-camel toe device, the Cuchini, (company motto Our Lips Are Sealed), is a piece of i think latex that fits over your pubic area.
In extreme cases, camel toe can look like the person is being cut in half and possibly carrying watermelons in their pants. The last pic on the page is like that, plus they have a page of celebrity camel toe on the brand site – oh, and the Camel Toe Eraser is basically a shield to stop your bits being cut in half.
Some people like the flanged look – there are porn sites for camel toe aficionados – others (a majority, and yes, me too), think it's a clothing faux pas. Like budgie-smugglers on a bloke, camel toe means having to view a stranger's genitalia. In uncalled-for detail. Like this. (That means avert your eyes now. Well, soon.)
Budgie-smugglers are very clingy, very brief, men's swimwear.
Makes it look like there's a small bird (budgerigar) they're smuggling. Well, occasionally a big bird, but not if they've been in cold water.
Before i go, something wonderful – I've found Hello Kitty Hell. It's the story of a man whose wife is a Hello Kitty fan. It's brilliant.
Now you've found it too. Neat, huh?

AFTD necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 125 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
We are a national nonprofit patient advocacy and support organization in need of a new logo before launching a new website and a national awareness and advocacy campaign. Entries will be reviewed by the AFTD Logo Committee at the close of the
contest; a winner will be announced within 7 days!
Association for Frontotemporal Dementias
AFTD is 6 years old; our mission is to provide support and education for families affected with this rare type of dementia, to educate medical professionals about thsi disease, to spread awareness, to fund research and to advocate for our community. FTD is a particularly cruel type of dementia: it occurs in younger people (average age of diagnosis is in ones 50's) and instead of losing memory the patient loses executive functions: language, emotion, and control over their behavior. Because it is rare, FTD is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimers or a psychiatric condition; many of our families have been on a multi-year journey through various misdiagnoses by the time the find us. See http://www.ftd-picks.org for more information on the disease and services we provide.
AFTD is extending our reach across the US and before we launch our new website (currently under construction) and launch a national awareness campaign we need to "brand" ourselves--and a new logo will be the heart of this process.
- Color scheme: red, black and white. Can add an accent color, but be aware that sometimes we will not be able to afford full color printing.
- A warm, welcoming feel
- Professional image, so the academic and business communities take us seriously
- A graphic element that we can carry through the website and our publications
- Incorporate our tagline: "Opening the gateway to help and a cure"
- Useful in full color, two-color or BW options
- Easy to read and comprehend. Our name is rather cumbersome.
- Nothing cutesy. This is a cruel disease.
- Things we don't like about our current logo: no unifying identity; there are a few different components that have been used in a variety of permutations, so when we use the word "logo" no one is quite sure what we mean...
- Nothing too complex.

An excellent track for websites, presentation, etc… Mucho Energy! There is a change-up in the middle, so it can be used as 2 different loops. It's a pretty small file, so great for web browsing. The track has several looping points for easy cutting. The download includes 2 files total:
- 1 MP3 256k
- 1 WAV 48HZ 24bit PCM
The high quality WAV files can be used with live media like power point presentations and the compressed MP3 is better suited for web deployment. Both versions have been produced with the highest possible redbook standards. My music is perfect! (**cough. . . lol)
As always, if you need help with any of my files just let me know. I'm always happy to help. If you buy the extended license, I can also chop down a file to create a shorter loop, rip down single tracks or anything else that you might need. Just send me a message after you purchase the file and I'll be happy to help.
Thanks for stopping by…

A summary of my story with AoL
I had been a part of AoL since 1998 and left it as of a few weeks ago due to what I've learned in this blog, others and reflection on my own experiences. I wish to share a summary of my story.
For the first five or six years I was in it, due to some fortunate happenstances, I saw AoL as a benign Neo-Hindu movement. I was in college and the teacher I had was not interested in the large-scale proselytizing that is happening today. He cut the fees lower than what was normally permissible so that students could take the basic course and didn't explicitly push AoL but instead yoga and meditation. As he was a Sanskrit scholar and an Eastern Religions professor as well I learned what I could so I could fill in some of the gaps and get a handle on Hindu religion and culture, as much as my Western background would allow anyway. During this time I learned Sahaj and took an advanced course, and met Ravi Shankar twice. While I felt the folk close to him were pretty blissed out and the constant "Jai Guru Dev" was a little weird the experiences weren't bad.
My biggest problem at this time with AoL was the fact that it was trying to couch itself as spiritual and not religious when in fact there were a lot of practices that were explicitly Hindu. I felt this was intellectually dishonest but as I was interested in such practices anyway it wasn't enough to drive me away.
At this time I wasn't a firm practitioner and after college I dropped out of AoL for about 2-3 years as I got my life in order. When I got into the group where I live now there were several differences. There is a very high student-teacher ratio here, and many more Indians. I became interested in teaching and started to work on the requirements that I could. However, instead of a focus on the practice and the teachings there was a focus on the organization. Bringing in more people and making connections with the powerful in the community were more important than discussing the teachings and their practical applications. Of course, bringing in people would also bring in more money to fund the projects that were touted on big posters.
We were encouraged to attend as many courses as possible, all described in glowing terms. I also volunteered for events that seemed to be more about bringing in money and doing feel-good award giving rather than spreading practical teachings. As my job status improved I started saving up and eventually took DSN, figuring it would be helpful for my teacher training.
In the interest of saving space (I can go into more detail if wished), DSN left me with several negative experiences. It really is training to peddle AoL and to raise money. The teacher was exceptionally good at patter and there was a lot of sleep deprivation. Due to the stress involved I did end up having several panic attacks, mostly out when I was trying to convince people to sign up for a course. A senior Atlanta teacher noticed the one that I did have in the venue and she took me out of there to calm me down. There were several processes that were helpful to me but on the whole it was an exhausting and weird experience.
After this experience I started doing the Kriya full-time and took a few other courses, Yes+, several special satsangs, knowledge series, etc. I figured that I needed to delve into the sadhana more to overcome the fear issues. After about two years of this all I really noticed was that my panic attacks were increasing and my head was getting more and more foggy. My short-term memory was getting worse. So I did research on Google and found this blog, and I've started cutting my ties.
I have left the Art of Living organization and I'm doing self-study to see which of the practices and knowledge points are worth preserving as I move forward on my own. I am of the opinion that while the organization is corrupt and some of the practices are dangerous there have been enough legitimate good teachings from it (or cribbed) that I can't immediately throw out the whole thing.

I've been feeling depressed upon seeing the promotion of SSRS and AOL in my area. I realized that people just simply have no idea that anything could be at all wrong with the org or RS. (well, i realized that before but it struck me in a new way). NO idea at all. They assume AoL is great and a wonderful organization and go on inviting people. No questions asked.
I guess since I've been involved with a cult and understand the deep psychological trauma people in cults face, I feel angry and concerned about promoting AoL and perhaps someone I know being deeply hurt. (or someone I don't know!)
And yet, I feel so helpless to do anything about it. I was honest in saying to the people who invited me to the course that I think AoL is a cult and RS a fake but it didn't make a bit of difference. Not that I thought it would.
I think perhaps one of the underlying problems is that if a person has never experienced the terrors of a cult, they can't even imagine how bad it can be. So, they don't care if AOL *might* be a cult--they've never felt such trauma. The AoLers I told that I think it's a cult, did not know what I was talking about at all. It was like something they couldn't relate to in any way, having no experience with the terrors of a cult on a cellular level. So, what do they care? Now, if someone told me I was in a CULT, I would be very upset and would scrutinize every aspect of the org because I've experienced the horrors. Sometimes people have to suffer to learn I guess. I'd like to see more people finding out about RS and AoL BEFORE getting too involved and suffering psychological trauma.
I worry about people who might get highly involved in AoL and be severely abused. I am just sick watching the promotion of AoL and SSRS as a wise guru when I think of the suffering of the people who may get involved and fall prey to CULT trappings. It's all fine for some people who may not be vulnerable to cults but for those who are, it's really bad.
I wish I could do more...

I'm curious if there is real evidence that kriya causes memory loss. I've been doing kriya for 10 years now and it has definitely benefited my health, my joint pains have almost gone, my metabolism is excellent, and my overall health is great.
However I too see myself forgetting things more often, but I dismissed that to aging. Now I'm getting worried. I'd hate to give up Kriya because of the health benefits, but if it's messing with my brain, I don't know what to do now. Confused...

jivani says " Sometimes people have to suffer to learn I guess."
I concur with you absolutely. Why even Buddha had to contend with false prophets.
It is our erroneous conclusion that all who parody words like enlightenment , realization are ACTUALLY seeking Mukthi. Many are full of desires & people like Ravishankars cater to their needs.
Soothsayers , astrologers , palmists the whole lot exist & survive because there is a demand for them from the masses.
Ramana Bhagavan had barely ten earnest devotees around. The crowds swelled much later. Ditto with Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsar. He was considered "crazy" by many.
Keshab Chandra & his brahmo samaj with its watered down marketing of hinduism was highly popular then. Narendra who later became Swami Vivekananda was one of those singing keerthans in brahmo samaj.
Ramakrishna P walked in one fine morning, bluntly telling all if keshab chandra is a candle , my Narendra is veritably the SUN which embarrassed Vivekananda initially. But he(V) just could not stay away from Gurudev & left brahmo samaj. The rest is history.
Sri. Ramakrishna Paramahamsar gives a brilliant analogy. At times a frog in the process of catching small water snakes & consuming them inadvertently takes a huge snake in its mouth. Not realising its stupidity the frog is unable to relinquish it. And the huge snake struggles unable to extricate itself free. The tussle goes on.
The same with the multitudinous flocking to Ravishankars. The moment one feels he is not my cup of coffee one should quietly leave.
Avaricious Ravishankars would never let you go.

Shankar - There is also no clear proof that Kriya causes the health benefits you are reporting. It might be due to diet changes or whatever. There are numerous ways of improving your joint health without side effects. Eat green Smoothies (Green for Life, Victoria Boutenko) and inflammatory conditions will most likely never come back. Get some information by Scott Sonnon on joint training. Sudarshan Kriya is a hyperventilation technique and scientific approaches like biodynamic psychology use hyperventilation techniques carefully, for specific people and for limited periods of time. To assume it is a good technique all the time is overly simplistic. Hyperventilation can cause oxygen deficiency, because it reduces carbon dioxide in the blood, which makes oxygen hard to tranfer from blood cells to body cells.

"In medicine, hyperventilation (or overbreathing) is the state of breathing faster and/or deeper than necessary. It can result from a psychological state such as a panic attack , from a physiological condition such as metabolic acidosis, or can be brought about voluntarily." (from Wikipedia). Sounds familiar?
Read more:
"How does hyperventilation affect the functioning of the brain?
Chemical changes happen in the blood due to UDB. Hyperventilation causes the carbon dioxide level in the blood to decrease. This lower level of carbon dioxide reduces blood flow to the brain, which may result in weakness, fainting, dizziness, and confusion. To protect the brain from damage one will faint and resume normal breathing to restore blood flow to the brain. Studies have show that oxygen to the brain can be reduced up to 60% via chronic hyperventilation."

"there have been enough legitimate good teachings from it (or cribbed) that I can't immediately throw out the whole thing. "
Hey YN, I am also in the same boat as you are. SSRS' key call outs like "If you want to do something, just do it. By thinking that so much work is there for me to do, that itself will make you tired".. I have many call-outs like this. But Overall if you observe, these counselling and self-improvement approaches are available in plenty of books outside. You can refer to many tamil books of "MS udayamurthy", and if you want english you can refer to "You can win" by shiv-kera type of books. But in philosopy, lot of books are already available. You can go for Vivekananda's books published by Ramakrishna math. I think, what SSRS has done is he has taken the good things from many such books and he has bundled them as a package and sells it us us. But for us, we have only listened to him and not to many 'real' philosophers. So, we feel we are deprived once we leave SSRS. So, suggest you find out some suitable books and life-history etc. of great eminent people and saints, and also positive-thinking books. You should be able to get over the "teachings" of SSRs. One more thing is, after observing and reading so many negatives, how can we take some real positives from SSRS? For example Nithyananda has been proved a lust-craving normal person. But all this while he pretented to be a saint and many believed it. So, after the expose, who will give damn respect to his teachings? (though they might be good). So, the person giving the advices should also be a good person. Otherwise, it wont' work with our mind.. Hope this helps.

Hello, this is the author of the piece.
Anonymous w/ links: Thank you for the links.
Jivani: I feel twinges now too. I didn't notice the problems in the organization until after I got out of my very tiny college group and got involved in a large and very active one. Heck, when I first signed up for the basic course there was no indication it was AoL related at all! Just a flyer saying yoga course.
Shankar: All I know is my own experiences. Perhaps if AoL ever did get the money to fund the research they're seeking (and if the results weren't meddled with) we could get some clear answers. Honestly I was far more worried about the panic attacks than the memory loss. As time passes I can see if the memory stuff gets better.
Prana is powerful stuff! It is life energy and I believe it has its own intelligence. I feel the kriya affects different people in different ways and I think after a certain point it was becoming damaging to my mind. For your body it seems to be helping with your joints. If you feel comfortable with it, experiment with stopping for a bit and see if the pain returns. It seems like it would be easy for you to pick up the practice again!
Anon re. Buddha: At first I thought Ravi Shankar was a crazy wisdom teacher of sorts as well. But I would also get very angry inside about all the useless (in terms of attaining moksha) questions people would throw at him. The seeker can have just as twisted and confused views and desires as these teachers!
Anon re. kriya side effects: Thanks for the followup.

Shankar: I haven't done SK because I don't trust it. There are so many other great techniques out there for health, I thought, why chance it? I thought about going about it scientifically like practicing and recording the results but decided it wasn't worth it. I wish you good luck in your exploration with this.
@Anon 4:54: Yeah, my AoL group was advertised as a "yoga" group too. Actually, it is a yoga class but is also there as a recruitment tool which personally I think could be misleading. People come thinking "Free yoga" and it soon becomes apparent that they *always* listen to SSRS during the class and try to get people into the course. Gosh, did I really start to dislike the SSRS meditations at the end of postures!

Hi KLIM and others who did not have a good experience with AOL
I am an AOLite (Indian, have been living in Australia for many years). Some of my activities with AOL have been around Guruji in a room, helped organise courses, been a volunteer in a number of courses, etc.
I am not writing this post to show that you are wrong, going on a wrong path or anything of that sort, because I believe there is no wrong or right. A choice is right as far as it serves the person who makes it.
I can relate to quite a lot of experiences and would like to give reasons which I feel may be behind it.
1. Hyper-marketing of AOL courses: Completely agree the nuisance this can create especially in western countries where the general culture is to respect one's space. Not to say, people in India do not respect each other's space but it can be taken for granted pretty frequently. I must mention that my first course happened because someone really forced me to do it. Today, I feel really grateful to that person for having done that. Sudarshan Kriya cured one of my long standing problem - depression. It has been 3-4 years since my first course and so I can say with certainty that I do not suffer from it anymore. On the other hand, I know the feeling of being forced into. I still get pressured into enrolling for courses I don't want to, but a simple 'no' works easy. However, whenever I do the course under pressure or not, I always end up feeling I made the right choice. Regarding, pushing people to enroll for courses, I had a chat with some of the senior teachers in Australia and many shared the same opinion, i.e. not to ever force/pressurise people. This was something that was discussed at the board level meeting. Also, I remember many teachers and Guruji himself saying that not to force people into enrolling courses, however I know the type of forcing that happens.
I can see that many people may benefit even if they are pushed against their wishes to participate in the course. I am one example and know of many others.
2. Money: Guruji on his visits have given clear information about the targets he would like the Australian team to achieve. An outsider may feel that the whole group is being money minded. However, because I have seen how it worked in Aus. Lot of money was spent on when the bushfires broke out in Victoria. The work being done for aboriginals and juvenile offenders is outstanding. Accounts in Aus are audited by a third party as per the law in Aus. I have done some work where handling of money is involved and know about the profit margins in Divine shop materials and the revenues generated. Frankly, I did not find anything untoward happening anywhere.
3. AOL-is-everything: I am also aware about the feeling and the way many devotees talk, eg. AOL is everything in life and anything else is secondary. This I do not understand why people do that. I am completely for having a balanced approach towards everything including spirituality.
- March 25, 2010 at 11:15 AM
4. Climate change: Have never heard Guruji saying that the climate change, water shortage problem is something like the Y2K problem, which everyone talked about but never happened. As far as I know, he has always encouraged us to plant more trees, save water, grow veggies at home, do Agnihotras (good for environment, age-old practice) and things like that.
5. Mocking people's concerns: I too have felt a bit offended when Guruji would take certain concerns very lightly. For eg. a woman has asked if he could speak about miscarriage and his reply was slightly towards the joking side. Now, could this be because he does not want us to attach too much importance to things that happen to us?
At this stage, you would probably want to tell me how you justified his behaviour for a long time and then realised how you were trying to keep the good image he had in your mind until one day you just wanted to leave. What I sense here is that you were probably suppressing your doubts all the time they were happening and one day it burst and you went from one extreme to the other. You will be the best person to answer if that was the case or not. If it was, then it means that you were lying to yourself all this while which was not serving you at all. I would have suggested that you should have stopped at that moment itself.
6. Pressure felt during SK: I have felt this too when trying to do SK. There have been times when I have felt not-so-good after SK, but even then the peace underlying everything could be felt easily after every session of SK. This I appreciate the most and I think this is the whole purpose of SK and meditation. To put it in other words, it felt like I was at the centre of a tornado.
Regarding the pressure, I would like you to read some information at this site: www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org
This site says that there are evil forces which try to make us feel negative when we're becoming more and more spiritual. I found it weird when I started reading about it. But if you go through all the material there, your mind might open up to the possibilities. Many people trying to do spiritual practices have had similar experiences like yours (pressure, lack of concentration, agitated, etc), but it was because of stronghold of evil which loosened on persisting. This might seem very strange but it could be true.
Finally, I would like to say that,
1. No point of associating with something you don't feel is true.
2. Truth is spherical: The things that may work for one may not work for the other. Two seemingly contrary statements may be pointing to the same thing (Truth). This ofcourse can never be understood by the mind, as it is beyond the mind. Here, intuition is required and intuition is something one needs to develop on its own.
- March 25, 2010 at 11:16 AM
3. Recommend not to see things too much through thought. Thought can distort things. I do not mean not to think. Please go ahead and think. There are two types of thoughts. One that is inspired from our past and the other that is completely new, untouched by past, unbiased, dispassionate. Also, try to see things from the heart. There have been many things in life for which my views have changed later only because I started looking from the heart. We can also call it "Awareness".
4. Urge you to continue to meditate for faster recovery and to see the Truth for yourself.
5. Truth will always be no matter what we do externally. We may do all sorts of bad things outside but Truth within us is always going to be there. Therefore the feeling of guilt should not be there. We should not think, if we don't do such and such thing then we cannot see the Truth. I don't know if you have any feelings of fear/guilt about leaving AOL... if you do I would want you to feel free and okay about it and release it. There is nothing to be afraid about. Maybe this path wasn't for you. No one is going to be mad.
6. We have a tendency of having ideas about how a Guru should be. If you look at some videos of UG Krishnamurti (enlightened master) and the stuff he talks about, you may be completely shocked how come an enlightened master behave like this. This may help open up our minds.
7. Never do anything with a lot of doubts about it. I know, this is not practical all the time. But if we find ourselves doubting every moment (for a long time) about what we are doing then it is better we stop doing it as it can backfire big time later on. I guess this has been the case for you. You would have wanted to stop earlier, but you did not. I do not know why. If you were scared to, then that is something you have to work on. Everyone of us has some issue or the other to overcome.

"This site says that there are evil forces which try to make us feel negative when we're becoming more and more spiritual....Many people trying to do spiritual practices have had similar experiences like yours (pressure, lack of concentration, agitated, etc), but it was because of stronghold of evil which loosened on persisting. This might seem very strange but it could be true."
First of all, we're not "becoming" more spiritual. That is not the aim of yoga. We are who we are and don't need to try to get somewhere or become something better.
Second, I've been teaching yoga and meditation for many years. Yes, it's true that when we sit in meditation, we may feel agitated and that is simply part of the meditation. Agitation doesn't mean that the meditation is not "good". In fact, we may feel many different things. But the descriptions on this blog of severe health issues and memory loss from SK are very different. It is irresponsible for anyone to say that what these people are experiencing is okay and due to evil forces leaving so one can be more "spiritual".
"We have a tendency of having ideas about how a Guru should be."
So what? Maybe that's a good thing...

Dan Varner Tribute Gallery
As of such we're holding a poll themed around the topics Mr. Varner famously brought back from deep time for a Dan Varner tribute gallery.
Please vote.
Also don't forget the Feathered Dinosaur gallery at the end of this month.

Why not a Dan Varner homage gallery? Everyone can do what they feel is appropriate or interesting...

We were going to do that. I just wanted a specific animal to do a logo for... Peter doesn't like the wide open galleries, and I follow his logic based on the participation the last few general topic galleries generated.
However even if say Mosasaurs win, we'll happily post a shark in there too.

/me tries to brainwrap that.
Feels to me, if its a mosasaur gallery, than thats' what it is. If it's a about paying tribute to Dan Varner, than that's what it should be... metatags can than order the specific titles for future searches, etc.
Shutting up.... now.

Marlin Gregg is faced with a possible dilemma that is out of his control as his team prepares for its trip to Alabama.
Should this week's games at Highlands and Owen County be postponed due to weather, it would be approximately six days since Gregg and his Grant County softball team saw the field against an opponent.
"I was really wanting to get a game in before we left," said Gregg, whose team hits the road for the Huntsville Hospital Sports Center Tournament this week.

Celebrity Guitar Auction Raises $100K for Dio Cancer Fund
Earlier this month over 80 guitars from rockers like Eddie Van Halen and Slash were auctioned off to raise money for cancer reseach. The Dio Cancer Fund -- a charity that honors the late Ronnie James Dio -- added $100K to an already impressive total to give to the TJ Martell Foundation. Since 2010 wife Wendy Dio has overseen the donation of over $300K.
Other hot guitars included those from Def Leppard, Queen's Brian May, Aerosmith, Metallica and Tony Iommi. Iommi is himself battling lymphoma. Earlier this year he was honored at the 2nd annual Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund Awards Gala.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the musicians and managers who donated guitars for our auction," Wendy Dio said after the Dec. 1 guitar auction at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, Calif. "We will be presenting the T.J. Martell Foundation with a check for $100,000 which, in turn, will go to the Vanderbilt Research Center for studies in gastric cancers. Ronnie would be so very proud of all of you."
Dio died of stomach cancer in May 2010. Shortly after his death, the Dio Cancer Fund pledged to donate $300K to the TJ Martell Foundation, founded by music industry executive Tony Martell to honor his son who died of leukemia.

For months the crying need for
some organization to undertake
Big Brother Work in Miami has
become more and more notice-
able and has been the subject of
numerous conferences between
those interested in the develop-
ment of the underprivileged boy
of Greater Miami. As a result,
the Miami Civic Clubs Council
and others interested in local wel-
fare work proposed to found a
new organization whose object it
would be to "further physical,
mental and moral development of
the under privileged boy in Grea-
ter Miami district; to establish an
agency to co-operate with the Ju-
venile Court and such other agen-
cies as the Board of Governors
may designate; to establish a per-
manent home to further its work,
if found advisable." The new
organization will be known as
"Boys' Work, Inc," and will con-
sist of three members from each
organization interested in such
work, whose participation shall
have been approved by the Board
of Governors. The Men's Club of
Miami is represented by Stanley
C. Myers, who drew the charter;
E. Max Goldstein, and J. Louis
Gee. R. Hilty of the Florida
Power & Light Company, who is
acting chairman of Boys' Work,
Inc., presided.
Judge Edith Atkinson of the Ju-
venile Court and Judge Stoneman
of the Municipal Court were the
guests of honor and gave very
interesting talks on the problems
of the underprivileged boy and
stressed the need for such a co-
operative organization.

I shall try to describe three
brothers, the fir-t two diametrical-
I) opposite. Suspicio and Gullibio
and the third brother. Sceptico.
Suspicio i- always found in il e
company of Greed. Distrust and
Ui-i uiitent. traveling a trail
"through a jungle of bitter herbs."
Gullibio always ha- as his com-
panions, Faith and Charity and
lived in ParadixFool's Para-
dise. t
Suspicio trusted no one. There-
fore, he could not be duped. By
brute strength of his avarice, re-
inforced by a native cunning
peculiar to his ilk. he achieved
wealth and power. And as his
fortune grew, his circle of friends
diminished. And his soul became
Gullibio. he without a shadow,
continued to swallow everything
he was toldhook. line, sinker
and remained a laboring slave to
the end of his days. He achieved
the reputation of being a mark for
ever) trickster, fraud and bunk
dispenser in the land. His name
embellished all the "sucker lists'"
and was handed around freely
among the birds of prey who man-
aged to keep him poor. He per-
sisted, however, in his dogged re-
fusal to ever question the other
fellow's good faith, notwithstand-
ing frequent unmistakable evi-
dence of underhandedness. Once
in a crowd, he detected a "dip" in
the act of "lifting" his watch.
"\\ hat are you doing, kind sir,"
said Gully naively. "I just wanted
to know what time it is." said the
other. "Oh." said poor Gully
sweetly, and that closed the inci-
Now enters the third and young-
est brotherSceptico. He was
neither oversuspicious nor unduly
t redulous, but was always being
mistaken for one or the other of
his brothers. He had traveled long
with Suspicio and Gullibio an r
after observing their respective
mode> of living, he had concluded
that both were wrong. He had no-
lii id that Suspy could find muck
even when- there was none, while
<7iill\ couldn't detect it even
though it were right beneath his
precious nose.
Si eptico came to regard the one
as a mean-spirited crab.
Th>- other he classified as a pur-
blind a.
I li>- cue he disliked.
Tin- other he held in contempt.
He watched the one distrust vir-
tuous people.
He -aw the others nurse vipers
to his promiscuous bosom.
Sceptico said: "As I see it. Sus-
pj thinks the world's all black.
Gully, on the other hand, thinks
it's all snow-white. Each is color
blind. Anyone with discernment
can see that it is neither all black
nor all white, but a mixture of the
two with frequent overlapping?.
There is no reason why an intelli-
gent person cannot learn to dis-
tinguish the one from the other,
by steering a middle course be-
tween the attitudes of Gullibio and
Suspicio. For instance, why can't
I stroll through the valley of Rea-
sonable Doubt, where the light of-
day penerates the clouds, without
being mistaken for my brother
Suspicio. And why can't I visit
the shrine of faith and embrace
the Loyalties without being con-
fused with Gullibio. Isn't there a
Happy Medium between the two

'By whom were you asked to
aerate?" the rabbi asked in an
Imost inaudible tone. Then he
Ided, "Were there not others
as competent as you?"
"Curses, no! This vile dog went
the hospital, and the doctors,
I of whom are seniors, made a
itudy of him. It is one case in a
housand. Other big, noted med-
ial men, some of whom are pro-

,. They expressed their confi-
dence in my ability and skill."
Another long interval went by
|before Finkel spoke again, and
(this time hotly and passionately.
'I haven't got the courage to
-operate in such a manner that he
[will go through, or at least feel,
[the tortures, the pains that he in-
Iflicted upon others, upon his cow-
lering victims. It is no more than
[justice that they should be aveng-
|ed a thousand-fold. And how 1
[could do it, could I but control
[myself. I would make him squirm
[until he felt the cold hand of
[death, and then I would prolong
[his life. Alternately, I would tor-
[ture him as long as I pleased. For
[every victim he burned alive or
I buried alive, I would plunge him
[so deep into the bitter depths of
[agony that he would wish he was
dead. Yes, I would sear his soul
in the same manner that he seared
I others'!"
The rabbi shuddered percept-
ibly, and a cold sweat gathered on
his forehead. Then Finkel contin-
ued, wetting his parched lips with
| his tongue.
"But the question is: Should I
let him die a death fit for a dog
or have him die humanely, under
the knife of some unskilled doc-
"If it was someone else upon
whom you are supposed to oper-
ate, could you cure the person?
"Yes, I feel confident I could.
In Europe I have operated on sim-
ilar cases successfully. And for
that matter, I have cut deeper in-
to the skull in more intricate op-
erations than this would require."
"Then you could, if so desired,
save this person?"
"Then by all means do so." The
rabbi spoke slowly, and enunci-
ated each word emphatically.
Finkel jumped up as if he was
sitting on a hot iron. His eyes
Were distended in horror.
"Such talk as this from you!
Do you know what you're say-
"Must I remind you," began the
rabbi wearily, "that I, as a Jew,
can give you advice only as a Jew.
You want me to encourage you to
do what you think is your duty.
That I cannot. To pass judgment
upon anyone is something which
no mortal can take upon himself;
that belongs to the Almighty. God
metes out justice in his own way;
we can only bow our heads and
place our fate in His hands. What-
ever injustice the Jews have suf-
fered, they must overlook. They
must forgive and forget."
"But it is like giving new life
to a deadly, venomous reptile to
continue its devasting work!"
"God created reptiles for some
"Be sensible! Act human! You
know as well as I, that it is rank
folly to let this man live," ve-
hemently protested Finkel, forget-
ting to whom he was speaking.
"My dear Finkel, despite the
fact that you called the Jew an
animal, if he is, let us say, of a
higher mentality, must he show the
same atrributes and virtues of
those mentally, morally, and
spiritually inferior than he? Re-
venge, you know, is something for-
eign to the Jew. He who indulges,
or even entertains that idea, is in-
finitely inferior to his persecutors.
In America, in the olden times,
Indians scalped people and crush-
ed babies' heads against tree
trunks; the European savages,
with whom you, unfortunately,
were so well acquainted, were per-
haps more cruel; must you there-
fore follow their example and be
still more inhuman? Because a
dog lull-- you, must you bite him
in revenge?"
"Good heavens, how you talk!"
impetuously cried Finkel, getting
redder every moment. He started
to gesture wildly and excitedly.
"You with your disgusting senti-
mentalism! It's impossible for
any intelligent person to swallow
it; it deprives him of his last bit
of manhood and self-respect! As
for myself, I know that if I should
operate, I could not help plung-
ing the operating knife deep into
the scoundrel's black soul. Seeing
his brutish face, what decent man
could control himself? Should I
fawn about this low, base, despic-
able person as you would have
me? Should I inject life in him
so that he can spit at my face?
Shall I let him go back and tor-
ture those victims of his with a
cruder lash, a hotter iron, a sharp-
er knife? Aye, and youa rabbi,
a person inbued with the spirit of
Judaism, would actually let this
happen again! You would turn
loose this bloodthirsty hound, this
insatiable beast! You would see
those degrading atrocities take
place again, and have the ruthless
programs a national sport with the
anti-Semites! Have you no feel-
ing, no sympathy? Youyou"
Here the doctor truly seemed on
the verge of apoplexy. He was
trembling and his face was livid
with rage; and with each word he
rose to his full length on his toes,
as if striving to overtower the rab-
bi. With a tightly clenched fist,
he pounded and hammered away
into the open palm of his other
hand to give emphasis to his
The rabbi, frightened by the
scene this enraged man was mak-
ing, shrank deeper in his chair in
a state of alarm and fear.
"Here, here! Calm yourself!"
he cried apprehensively.
"Youyou!" the doctor fum-
ed infuriatedly, his anger so
wrought-up that it took away his
power of speech. Menacingly, he
towered with uplifted fists above
the frightened rabbi, and then,
finding his tongue, he bellowed,
"Your heart is blacker thanthan
that vile dog's!" And then with a
sudden movement that almost put
the rabbi into a frantic terror, he
swung swiftly on his heel, and
like one gasping for a breath of
fresh air, he rushed headlong out
of the house, loudly slamming the
door after him.
All that night Finkel acted like
a man in a nightmare. Back and
forth he paced in his bedroom,
his mind in a raging turmoil; and
the more he deliberated upon the
situation, the more intense his
hatred for this anti-Semite became,
until it knew no bounds.
But the rabbi's words pounded
unceasingly on his brains. It
served to cool his flaming emo-
tions; and then later to re-alight
them with a hotter flame. He
had thought the rabbi a sane
and logical person, devoid of such
sickly sentimentalism; a person of
clear reasoning; one who could
feel the injuries of his race and
wish to avenge them. He thought
the rabbi, too, would believe in
"an eye for an eye," that he would
rejoice in disposing of this veno-
mous, deadly reptile?the rabbi
actually suggested operating so
as to save the worthless life of this
Jew-hater, this cruel Jew-baiter,
this flaming anti-Semite! Are the
Jews so utterly devoid of sense of
honor that they seek not to return
blow for blow? The European
Jews, he contemplated, were nar-
row-minded anyhow, but an in-
telligent type such as this Ameri-
can Jew, well versed in the ideals
and principles of America's demo-
cracy and justice, would stoop,
deign, nay, condescend to utter
such nonsensical, revolting words!
Indeed the Jewish mind goes in a
circle! What the world consider-
ed bravery was cowardice in the
eyes of the Jews, and what the
former considered cowardice was,
in the eyes of the latter, heroism.
It is true, bitterly reflected Finkel,
that the Jewish mind has not pro-
gressed much during the thousands
of years of wandering through-
out the earth. Yes, indeed, it was
sickening, discouraging, and more
He began to feel a hatred for
this most unusual affair in which
he was so inadvertently mixed up.
And yet, try as he would, he could
not make up his mind one way or
the other. To killwhy not? It
would be no more than justice.
Had not this brute extinguished
many purposeful lives; numerous
lives that were striving to main-
lain some beautiful ideal accord-
ing to the concepts of their re-
ligion? These people enjoying
and appreciating all that life had
to give them, were brutally wiped
off the earth, as if they had never
existed. Their death caused no
more commotion in this cold
world than the quiet ripples of a
still, peaceful water started by a
pebble. Their lives were snuffed
out like a candle by a cold, icy
draft. And this beast, having
drained the cup of life to the very
last drop, was now on his back
helpless, and yet no animosity was
being borne him; in fact, they
would have a fellow Jew cure this
pitiless enemy of theirs. Strange,
Finkel reflected, how by isolating
himself from them the many years
that he had lived in America, he
had failed entirely to understand
or sympathize with their point of
view, their method of reasoning.
Was it because Christian thought,
Christian contact, had alienated
him from his race, so that he was
like an utter stranger?
The next morning brought him
no solution, nor relief. But,
strangely, the words of the rabbi
persisted in his mind, and he was,
try as he would, unable to dispel
them. They were breaking down
his barrier of intense hatred, in-
vading, trampling over the griev-
ances and sentiments which he
had nursed. "A Jew must forgive
and forget!" rang through his
mind continuously, and it would
ruthlessly upset his chain of
thoughts. It was his Jewish con-
science, he reflected bitterly, that
was manifesting itself. He could
feel himself wavering. To be born
a Jew, he caustically meditated,
is a curse, for one cannot shake
himself entirely free from its in-
That afternoon, while attending
some of his patients in the hospi-
tal, he met a warm friend of his,
Henri Chambeau, a noted French
doctor. The latter, gushing with
compliments and good wishes, joy-
ously seized Finkel's hand.
"Congratulations, mon ami. I
was so very very much glad to
hear of your appointment. When
I first heard of the caseIvan
Yankovitch is the nameyes!I
think at once of you. 'Finkel is just
the man.' I said to myself; 'all
the rest of the big doctors talk
too much, and look too serious.
My friend Finkel is the very
man!" And sure enough he gets
the appointment. All the luck
in the world I wish you."
"I haven't yet decided to ac-
cept," explained Finkel.
"What! No confidence in your-
self? Bah! You're worse than
some of my patients," snapped
Finkel said nothing, but he
thoughtfully studied his watch
"When is the operation schedul-
ed for?" inquired his friend.
"Tomorrow, at ten o'clock."
"Have you yet refused?"
"Then don't be a fool!" Cham-
beau dryly remarked. "All the
seniors have declined because they
lack confidence in themselves.
And if you succeed, just see what
a name you'll make for yourself!"
Finkel wearily shook his head,
"Is he in such bad shape?"
Chambeau asked.
"I haven't examined him yet,"
he explained. "I know only what
others tell me about him. Of
course, I'm familiar with such
cases." Finkel's voice was low,
in fact so low, that the alert little
Frenchman s e n s e d something
"What! Even before examining
you talk about refusing? Big men
honor you, and you triflle with it
as if it were nothing." He shook
his head disparagingly.
The long, tedious day slid by
and Finkel agitatedly strode his
room like a caged lion. He had
given no decisive answer to
the officials, and he knew
that by his silence they
would expect him to go through
with the operation. Numberless
cigars, chewed to shreds, lay
strewn about, and in his stridings,
he would occasionally mutter un-
der his breath. Later in the even-
ing, tired and exhausted, he sat by
the window in his soft armchair,
breathing deeply of the cool night
air. Thus, in that position, tired
from battling with the raging tur-
moil within him, he fell asleep.
He slept fitfully until late in the
morning. Upon awakening, real-
izing the late hour, he sprang up.
After a quick cold shower, he
scrambled into his clothes, re-
freshed himself with hot, black
coffee, and springing into a taxi,
made for the hospital.

sponsor only one benefit affair
this year, to be in the form of an
elaborate entertainment to be held
January 22. next. No other af-
fairs of any kind will be held for
the Council.

Annoyingly, this isn't great colour accuracy-wise - in person it's a fair bit more greyish, but the lighting was terrible for this swatch!

I love this polish! I have several similar blues but this one has such a gorgeous finish that it always wins out for me.
I have this one from the fall it came out - it's a good shade - I need to look for where it's buried in my collection.
Very pretty! I love the colors of creams that come out during fall.
I love colours like this one!
love it! it reminds me of a color club color that i really liked (rad nomad) but it smashed and shattered in my last move, and it came in a pack so i've been interested to find other good colours that are similar. thanks for sharing this one!
I really like this color! I haven't seen anything like it locally, but I might buy a light grey and a brighter blue and try to franken them. This looks like it would be great with some bold, edgy, color-block kind of art. Maybe a striping tape mani!
Great to hear that it gets the love it deserves :) Can't believe it took me so long to buy it!
