Bollywood actors who met with accidents while shooting
Bollywood stars are susceptible to minor and major mishaps in the course of shooting. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan met with a freak accident on the sets of his 'Happy New year' when a door fell on him. We list similar accidents
Amitabh Bachchan
While shooting an action sequence for the 1983 film Coolie, the actor fatally injured himself when the edge of a table pierced his abdomen. It resulted in a heavy loss of blood. The entire nation prayed for his well being and he finally came out of it after a long time.
Hrithik Roshan
Last year, while performing stunts for his upcoming film, Hrithik Roshan suffered an injury on the head. When pain-killers for the severe headaches didn't help, he went for a CT scan, which revealed a clot in the brain. He immediately underwent a brain surgery to remove the clot and the operation was a successful one.
Arshad Warsi
The actor had a serious accident during the shoot of one of his upcoming films. He suffered a severe head injury while performing a stunt. The shot required him to jump backwards and fall on his back. He overshot the spot and banged his head into the edge of the metal trolley. Luckily, a doctor was immediately called on the sets and Arshad was administered painkillers and given a day off to recover.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchcan
While shooting for Khaki, Aishwarya suffered a minor mishap that could have turned serious. In the scene, a jeep had to come speeding towards her and co-star Tusshar Kapoor and stop a few inches away from them. But the driver lost control of the jeep and hit the duo. Thankfully, they fell on some bushes which prevented them from falling further on the rocks below. After administering first aid, she was immediately flown down to Mumbai in a helicopter and admitted to a city hospital for further treatment.
Katrina Kaif
While shooting for Dhoom 3, the actress injured her leg while performing an action scene. She did not ask for a body double and completed the scene on her own. Nowadays, she's extra careful about her action scenes to avoid injuries.
Ameesha Patel
She hurt her knee while shooting an action sequence for a film. A doctor was immediately called in to give her the necessary medication.
Akshay Kumar
Last year during the shoot of a remake of a Tamil film, Akki met with a dangerous accident. The driver of a truck missed his timing, which resulted in the wheel of the vehicle running over Akshay's foot during the scene. He was rushed to a closeby hospital where he was given primary treatment and allowed to go home.
Ranveer Singh
The Ram Leela actor had a serious back injury while filming 'Lootera' in Dalhousie. It happened he was climbing a mountain. Though advised rest, he continued working which added to the agony. For another film, he was shooting barefoot which resulted in a deep bruise made by a piece of glass. The actor however continued shooting to avoid any delays.

|Chilla Shah Badr Dewan
Chilla of Shah Badr Dewan is located to the north of Shrine of Khawaja Mehmud and exactly northwest of Begampura. This is the place where the saint passed forty days of seclusion and meditation during his stay in Lahore.
The imposing edifice stands in the centre of a walled enclosure on a platform of the height of 3 feet. It is a quadrangular building surmounted by a high neck dome of green color. The entrance to the building is from stairs to the south and the walls of the remaining three sides are perforated by latticed work of red sandstone which has now been ruthlessly whitewashed. The structure was originally decorated with beautiful glazed pottery work, of blue and yellow color, to the height of three feet from ground all around. Traces of the pottery work are still extant in some areas. To the north is a small tower, decorated with pottery work and intended as a place for a lamp.
The final resting place of Shah Badr Dewan is in the village of Masanian in Batala, India. The saint's real name was Syed Hasan Badr-ud-din Gilani (Baghdadi) but he was better known as Baba Shah Badr Dewan. He is a descendant of Ghaus-ul-Azam Syed Abdul Qadir Gilani. He was born in Baghdad in 861 AH. He left Baghdad in 904 AH and came to Lahore where he stayed for several years. From Lahore, he moved to village Masanian (3 miles east of Batala, India) where he passed away in 978 AH.

Mediterranean Tuna-Noodle Casserole
Choose best-quality tuna that's packed in olive oil for this dish. Even after draining it, you'll get moister, richer results than if you used water-packed tuna.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Serves: 8
- ⅓ c. olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 lb. wide egg noodles
- 2 red bell peppers (ribs and seeds removed)
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- 5 c. whole milk
- 4 can tuna in olive oil
- 1 can artichoke hearts
- 5 scallions
- ½ c. finely grated Parmesan
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil two 8-inch square (or other shallow 2-quart) baking dishes. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until 2 minutes short of al dente; drain, and return to pot.
- Meanwhile, in a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat; add mixture to noodles in pot, along with tuna, artichoke hearts, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. Divide between prepared baking dishes, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Culpitt Metal Arum Lily Cutters - Set of 3
Metal Arum Lily Cutters From Culpitt
This metal Arum cutter set is manufactured by Culpitt. It is made from stainless steel and consists of 3 different sized cutters for making beautiful lily petals.
Measurements are approx: 65mm, 94mm and 112mm
Instructions and Tips for Use
For cake decoration other pastes may be used but I find Squires Sugar Florist Paste (SFP) to be the best as it is designed with sugarcraft flowers in mind.
Roll out your paste thinly on a non-stick board.
Very lightly dust the top surface of your paste with Cornflour (cornstarch) a tip here is to put the flour into a muslin cloth and simply wipe across the top surface – that way you don't get too much onto the paste.
Cut out the petal shapes.
Dry in a former such as Celcakes Formers 2.
You can also insert Hamilworth wires, which are available in a number of sizes and colours, to make a wired Tulip.
The paste can be coloured before cutting out, and/or painted or dusted with powder colours when dry.
For extra lifelike flowers and leaves, try using these cutters in conjunction with our range of Culpitt Veiners and thin the petal edges with a ball or dogbone tool.

Scientology Locally
What is the Church of Scientology of Missouri?
The Church of Scientology of Missouri is the local hub for all Scientology activity in the surrounding areas. While there are many individual Scientologists throughout Missouri, Illinois and surrounding states and each of these may have their own Dianetics or Scientology groups, the Central Organization is the coordinating body and central focal point for them all. As such, it takes responsibility for the technical standards for the zone around it, ensuring that Dianetics and Scientology are delivered purely and workably, as they were originally codified and laid down. In fulfillment of this role, the Church maintains a staff of professional administrators, counselors (called "auditors") and course instructors (or "course supervisors") to ensure the correct administration and delivery of Dianetics and Scientology.
What Happens at the Church?
People from all over the Midwest regularly come to the Church to study Scientology and apply it to their own lives through personal counseling, called auditing. The Church is designed to be a place where everyone can come and better their own lives. It is a central repository of the wisdom of Dianetics and Scientology and is a training facility to create specialists in its application.
Who Can Come To The Church?
Anyone. Our doors are open to anyone, of all walks of life. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in 1965, "We welcome you to Scientology. We only expect of you your help in achieving our aims and helping others. We expect you to be helped."
What Other Scientology Activities Occur Locally?
Scientologists are just like anyone else and have social gatherings amongst themselves. Regular births, weddings, christenings are–like at any other Church–a huge facet of the local Scientology community. These profoundly personal experiences which are the beautiful face of life itself, interweave themselves into the normal functioning of the Church. However, the Church is busy even besides those, with regular counseling and classes. It is the mission of a Scientology church to teach people the fundamental tools and principles with which to lead a happy life. The very derivation of the word "Scientology" means "knowing how to know" or "a study of knowledge itself" and has deep analogy with epistemology. The basic principle of Scientology is that one can know life. There are truths. One can become in control of one's fate and one's future–just by understanding them.
As such, it is the mission of a Scientology church to teach these things and this is the core functioning and focus of the local Scientology community: teaching the workable truths as discovered by Scientology's Founder, L. Ron Hubbard and laid down in the books and recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.
Beyond just the bettering of one's one life, Scientology has a long tradition of expecting contribution back to Mankind and to one's community. It is not acceptable just for one to get better himself–he must help others. To truly attain full spiritual freedom, one MUST come to full responsibility over one's environment and one's fellows. So, in short, we help. As a group and as a Church, we take it upon ourselves as a duty to be active in the community and assist the lives of others.
This opens an entirely different facet of life for the local Scientology community–volunteerism and community activism. From disaster relief to drug prevention, Scientologists are extremely active in the community and take it upon themselves to make the world a better place for everyone around them.
A Thriving Community
Since the late 1960s, Scientology has thrived throughout the Midwest, with St. Louis being the core hub of the activity. There are Scientologist who have been actively involved for over 40 years. There are third-generation children now growing up whose grandparents were Scientologists at the founding of the local Scientology community. There are postal carriers, maintenance men, salon owners, dentists, housewives and podiatrists. From painters to radiologists, the local Scientology community spans all walks of life, but they're all united by one common theme: their desire to better the lives of themselves and others through the miracles of Scientology.

Viper still has venom
by Mark Maynard
I folded back the top of a Venom Red 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 convertible, settled behind the wheel and headed for the highway. Six hundred horsepower is a terrible thing to waste.
DODGE VIPER - The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 is ready to roll with a 600-horsepower, 10-cylinder engine. The new model introduces six-speed manual transmission, a beefed-up differential, hood louvers, new springs and more. CNS Photo By Earnie Grafton. I scanned the instrument panel to switch off the traction - or electronic stability controls - until I worked up to a minimum threshold of confidence. But, hmmm, no such buttons were to be found.
No stability control, no traction control, no cruise control - no problem, apparently. It's all about driver control.
The Dodge Viper isn't a sports car on everyone's list, but that's how the loyalists want it, said Erich Heuschle, Viper supervisor of vehicle dynamics.
Among the two-seat-sports-car competition, Viper is the cannonball splash into the pool. It may not have all the creature comforts of other $86,000 sports cars, but it does have 10 cylinders and a top speed of 202 mph. And there's much new for 2008.
This generation of the car is so smoothed out from the early years that "Viper" and "refined" can be used in the same sentence. But it's still a snake lying in wait.
Sold in coupe and convertible, the Viper is old-school, rear-wheel-drive muscle, crude but effective. It's fun in an invigorating, "I just cheated death" kind of way.
The new model introduces a new engine and six-speed manual transmission, a beefed-up differential, hood louvers, new springs and dampers, a retuned rear sway bar and a return to conventional tires - no more run-flats.
It's still a no-frills car, even if it does cost $86,190 and $86,940 for the coupe. There are the basic standard-equipment items - remote locking, air conditioning, front air bags, a seven-speaker audio system and power windows, but don't expect cup holders. There's not even an interior release for the hood - just reach through a slot in the grille for the tab.
There's also a now-dated red start button that requires putting the key into the ignition, then a push of the button. Technology has advanced to allow an "intelligent key" that allows one-step, push-button starting.
But firing the engine is still a thrill. The engine pops and crackles like a race car's, then warms into a lumpy mumble. It's obnoxious fun to run the engine to redline in first gear and lift off the throttle just to hear the angry, UPS-truck exhaust tone.
Enlarging the bore of the 10-hole V-block by one silly millimeter pushed displacement from 8.3 liters to 8.4. And with that, horsepower went up by 90. Some of the power boost comes from new cylinder heads with Computer Numerically Controlled combustion chambers, larger valves and variable valve timing, which combine to move air faster through the engine and out the downspout-size side pipes.
Moving power from engine to transmission is a new twin-disc clutch, replacing the larger-diameter, single-disc setup that was renowned for its left-leg exercise. The new clutch is about 18 percent lighter to actuate.
The Tremec T56 six-speed manual gearbox has flick-of-the-wrist shifter travel. And taller gears make better use of the torque - 560 foot-pounds at 5,000 rpm.
With this much power, the car will launch from zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds - all in first gear, if you can keep the tires from spinning. Then it's on to 90 mph in second, 120 in third and 202 in fifth gear, Heuschle said.
The gear ratios allow plenty of range in first, second and third for driving in traffic. At 70 mph in fifth, the engine is turning 2,000 rpm, which drops to 1,500 rpm in sixth at 80 mph. That should help fuel economy - 12 mpg city, 21 highway - if a Viper owner cares.
Working on the track at the Transportation Research Center near Columbus, Ohio, Heuschle elected himself for the testing.
"One day we did more than 150 miles at 200 mph," he said. "We did 197 with the top down and 202 with the top up. The coupe and convertible have very similar drag, and both are within 1 mph of each other."
He credits improved aerodynamics as key in breaking 200 mph. Also, the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires - with a unique pattern, construction and compounding - are about two seconds faster per lap than the run-flats, Heuschle said.
Early Viper "roadsters" had a top that fit like a canvas pup tent and was prone to blowing off at high speed. Not so with this one. The trunk must first be opened, then the top can be manually folded back with little fuss, snapping into place to form a tight tonneau.
With the top down, it's the wind dump over the windshield that keeps drivers at sane-enough speeds. Not only hats, but sunglasses, too, are subject to wind loss.
With the top up, anti-Viper passengers will complain about the engine drone at high speeds, but it's more tolerable now than before. The speedometer is crammed with digits to 220 mph, and the lines between numbers jump in 5-mph increments. A digital speed readout would help those who worry about 10 or 20 mph over the limit.
Like rye whiskey, the Viper is an acquired taste. It isn't sanitized or boring.
"A few flaws help it stand out," Heuschle said. "Kind of like people."

Hybrid car options
Q: Which small car is a good hybrid, that is a reasonable price.
- Anna
A: Any of the four-cylinder hybrids would be acceptable, Anna. The V-6 models - such as the Toyota Highlander - are more about performance or towing power than fuel economy.
The midsize Camry is a gentle driver, the Nissan Altima has a little sharper performance (and it still qualifies for the tax credit), the compact Civic is good, too. The Prius, which is the icon of hybrid cars, is small and still very much in demand.
If you need cargo space or just prefer to ride a little taller, the Ford Escape SUV hybrid (or sister vehicle Mazda Tribute) make good four-cylinder choices, too.
Consider how much you drive, what you can afford and why you want a hybrid. If it is primarily to save gasoline money, you may be able to do just about as well with a thrifty traditional four-cylinder, such as the Chevy Aveo, Honda Civic, Kia Rio, etc. But if you are committed to the environment and are seeking improved fuel economy, the added cost of the hybrid may be worth it to you.
You can compare fuel mileage ratings and learn a vehicle's green rating at www.epa.gov/greenvehicles.
Also I recommend buying a new hybrid, or at least one that is just a year or two old.
Think of a hybrid as a home computer. Its electronics are state of the art for just a few years. And the technology evolves so quickly that a five-year-old computer has little resale value. The same will be true of old hybrids. It's not so much that the batteries may need to be replaced, but that the electronics can get skittish, just like your old home computer.
Consider leasing if your annual mileage doesn't exceed the lease limits. After three to five years you'll be able to turn in your vehicle for the next-generation, state-of-the-art computer, or hybrid vehicle.

NTPC said to seek end to imported-gas supply deal

New Delhi: State-run NTPC Ltd., India's biggest power producer, is seeking to terminate a long-term supply contract for imported natural gas as it says the fuel is too expensive to be used in power generation, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
The New Delhi-based electricity generator has written to state-run GAIL India Ltd., which supplies the fuel sourced overseas by its affiliate Petronet LNG Ltd., saying it's become impossible to execute the contract as the company is unable to sell the power it generates from the fuel, officials from all three companies said who asked not to be identified, citing policy. NTPC signed a 20-year contract with GAIL in 2009 to buy 2 million metric standard cubic meters a day of gas, the people said.
The contract dispute highlights the country's difficulty switching from coal to natural gas for power generation, undermining Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to cut carbon emissions and promote clean energy. The country's gas-fired plants, with nearly 25 gigawatts of generation capacity, are running at less than a quarter of their potential. Transportation costs and taxes have countered the 27% decline in spot LNG prices in the past year.
"In India's power sector, gas will find it difficult to weaken the dominance of coal in the next few years," said Abhishek Kumar, an analyst at Interfax Energy's Global Gas Analytics in London. "Regasified LNG is still not cost-competitive with coal, after local transportation costs and taxes are taken into account. India needs to improve its gas-pipeline infrastructure substantially to boost the popularity of gas in the power sector."
NTPC has been taking less than 10% of the contracted volume, forcing GAIL to levy so-called take-or-pay penalty charges, the officials said. NTPC and GAIL declined to comment. Petronet didn't respond to requests for comment.
The cost of power generated from GAIL's gas is about Rs7 per kilowatt hour, according to an NTPC official. That's more than double Rs3.18 average price at which NTPC sold power in the year to 31 March, and more than three times the current national average spot price. Indian regulations require electricity retailers to buy power from the cheapest sources available, which makes it difficult for a generator to sell more-expensive electricity.
NTPC's combined 4 gigawatts of gas-fired generation account for about 9% of its total capacity. Its seven gas plants ran at 25% of their capacity in the year ended 31 March, compared with 33% in the prior year, the company said in May.
Additional costs
Petronet LNG, India's biggest gas importer, renegotiated a contract with Qatar's RasGas Co. for 8.5 million tons of LNG annually through 2025. Petronet sells the fuel to companies including GAIL and Indian Oil Corp., which have their own deals to sell it on to end consumers, such as NTPC.
The landed price of Qatari LNG at Petronet's Dahej terminal in Gujarat was about $5 per million British thermal units, the company said in May. About $2 per million Btu is added to the price by the time the gas reaches the northern part of the country, where NTPC has three of its biggest gas-fired plants, said the official from the power utility.
India's 16,300 kilometer (10,130 mile) gas-pipeline network transmitted 148.39 million cubic meters of natural gas in the year ended 31 March, using only about 38% of the system's capacity, according to the website of oil ministry's Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell. Bloomberg

Creativity, Action, Service
Creativity, action, service (CAS) is at the heart of the Diploma Programme. It is one of the three essential elements in every student's Diploma Programme experience.
It involves students in a range of activities alongside their academic studies and is broken down into three strands:
Creativity: arts and other experiences that involve creative thinking.
Action: physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle, complementing academic work elsewhere in the Diploma Programme.
Service: an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student and a demonstrable worth to society, either locally, nationally or internationally.
CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development through experiential learning and provides an important counter-balance to academic study. Both challenging and rewarding, CAS is a personal journey of self-discovery that can have a profound and life-changing effect on students. It broadens the mind, promotes teamwork and collective thinking and enables girls to become actively involved in matters of international importance.
CAS activities should take up at least half a school day each week throughout the diploma (150 hours in total) and should show a reasonable balance between Creativity, Action and Service. It is not formally assessed but girls need to document their activities and demonstrate their reflections on the experience.
Many IB graduates say that CAS was the most enjoyable and exciting part of their diploma experience and have continued with their pursuits into university and beyond. There is a high-level of personal choice involved in the CAS programme and it often enables girls to find an activity or cause they're really passionate about. Whether taking part in a sporting pursuit, helping with a local community project or undertaking a world-trek for charity, our IB girls find CAS an inspiring and fascinating experience and an incredibly valuable enhancement to learning and life.
In October half term, 2012, Lower Sixth IB student, Kim Clifton, travelled to the Ashanti region of Ghana where she undertook voluntary work as part of her CAS programme. As well as finding it a life-changing experience, she also found it directly relevant to her desired career in medicine.
"I worked in a very rural clinic in Gyetiase for the Ashanti Development Charity. They provide remote villages in the region with water, sanitation, healthcare, education and income generating activities. The clinic performs medical and eye treatments in the hope of improving the health of the people in the area. This is a very important mission in Ghana and I was lucky enough to accompany some Community Nurses on their visit to another rural village, Bonkrong. There, we weighed all the babies and children under 5 as part of a growth monitoring programme. We also immunised the babies against the numerous deadly diseases which kill many in the region. For me this was the most interesting part of my visit as I am hoping to go into medicine after school and it showed me how important basic health care is, particularly in under-fives where the mortality rate in the area is 48%. My visit was an amazing experience in two weeks I helped fix a borehole, watched the sanitation of a village be improved with the building of latrines, was a VIP guest at a Witch Doctor ceremony, and met some amazing people in all the schools and villages I visited. Although the area is monetarily poor they are very rich in community spirit and they made our visit very special".

There have been a few threads on jQuery in 4.7, mostly filled with disappointing tales of incompatibilities of Drupal's JS files and jQuery.
Not being a JS guru, and not wanting to be, I decided to use jQuery for a client project and created a jquery47 module to allow anyone else to use my hacked up jQuery.
You can find it here: http://drupal.org/project/jquery47
To use:
First, a note: to make jQuery compatible with Drupal, I had to rename the $ function to JQ. Sorry, there's really no way around this. When Drupal 5.0 comes out, you'll have to rename all your calls to JQ('...') to $('...').
Write your JS file and put it somewhere. Using drupal_get_path() get your file's path. Call jquery_add_js($yourfilepath) and you're ready to go.
Another approach
JQuery does not work in 4.7 because drupal defines the javascript function $() (as does JQuery). So the alternative to your approach is to find every occurance of "$()" in the drupal code and rename it to something else. I renamed mine to $id() (because what the function does is find an element given it's id). Once you've renamed all those calls, you can include jQuery and it's plugins without modification.
No, because that braked
anybody try jQuery.noConflict();??
and perhaps:
Reassign jQuery to another shortcut
var $j = jQuery;

President Obama's health care program isn't quite ready for its close up.
After more than a year of legislative debate and another three and a half years since it was signed into law in March 2010, enrollment in subsidized health insurance plans through Obamacare began Tuesday. Sort of.
Despite promises that Americans could begin signing up for insurance on the law's new exchanges starting Oct. 1, in reality, the websites created to help people enroll – which were supposed to function like Orbitz or Expedia – were, in fact, plagued by errors.
The main federal website to purchase insurance, Healthcare.gov, was supposed to serve as a portal for 34 states that chose not to set up their own exchanges, or to do so with federal assistance.
But when I attempted to log in to the site on Tuesday, several times I got a screen urging me to "please wait" and then freezing in place.
When it was possible to get past that screen to attempt to set up an account, the drop-down fields in the security questions page were blank.
When I attempted to move on, I received an error telling me, "Your account could not be created at this time. The system is unavailable."
My Washington Examiner colleague Charlie Spiering got a little further in the process with a different web browser before eventually getting to a page with gibberish coding on it that asked him to "contact your system administrator."
The states that chose to create their own exchanges didn't fare much better. Even before Tuesday, Oregon, Colorado and the District of Columbia had said they were delaying enrollment through the exchange websites.
But when I visited the Maryland website on Tuesday, there was a message saying it was having "connectivity issues" that would be resolved at noon.
When I tried to call the customer service number, I was told the call center was having connectivity issues as well, and was referred back to the website, which the representative did not realize wasn't working either.
Websites in Minnesota and Hawaii were unable to enroll individuals Tuesday morning. When I tried to enroll in New Mexico and Idaho, I was referred back to the federal Healthcare.gov site, which in turn sent me back to the New Mexico and Idaho sites.
My brother tried to enroll in New York and received an "internal error" message. The Washington state website wouldn't appear at all.
And in California, the login page took so long to load that I was able to leave my desk to grab a turkey sandwich at a local café, and it still hadn't loaded when I got back. Nor had it loaded hours later.
Connecticut was the one exchange that I was able to navigate and browse plans without problems.
Defenders of the health care law had two basic responses to the problems. One was to argue that the issues were actually a sign of the massive demand for Obamacare.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius even went so far as to call them a "great problem to have."
Another argument was that the glitches would go away in the coming days or weeks, but that once they got resolved, the program would prove successful.
It is true that opening day problems don't necessarily prove that the program is going to be a failure and that the program's success is going to be determined in the months ahead.
The benefits don't actually kick in until Jan. 1, 2014, and enrollment is still open through next March. But it certainly got off to an auspicious start this week.

History of Old First
1999 marked our official Sesquicentennial, celebrating 150 years as a congregation. Founded on May 20, 1849, in the first months of the Gold Rush, Old First is California's oldest active Protestant congregation.
In its early years, the church established California's first orphanage and the YMCA; later Old First leaders were instrumental in forming the San Francisco Theological Seminary and the University of California at Berkeley. An early ministry with Chinese laborers led to the founding of a Chinese congregation, which survives today as the Presbyterian Church in Chinatown - one of several churches Old First helped found to serve the needs of the growing city.
The present church, the congregation's sixth building, was built in 1911 after the previous church was dynamited to help stop the fires that followed the 1906 earthquake. Old First has always been engaged in social issues.
Our pastor in 1861 persuaded the national Presbyterian Church to stand with President Lincoln against slavery. During World War II, our ministers and elders protested the internment of American citizens of Japanese descent. In the 1970s we helped create the Larkin Street Youth Center to serve runaway teens. Currently we are working with others to establish services for our homeless neighbors.
Another significant dialog involves the ordination of gay and lesbian people in the Presbyterian Church.
Find out more about Old First's history by ordering the award-winning book, Pioneer Community of Faith - Old First Presbyterian Church 1849-1999 by Stephen Taber. Now available via the church office.

Effects of Psychokinesis
Chance Variations
The most common effects of psychokinesis are small variations in chance, such as dice rolls, card shuffles, and influence on electronics. These can help a person win a board game. They can force variation in a random number generator. They sometimes cause electronic equipment malfunctions, and often happen without us realizing it.
Retro Psychokinesis
Psychokinesis can also work backward in time.
The experiment uses a random number generator to produce a set of 1's and 0's and records them on floppy disk. While it occurs, a person is trying to force the results using PK. Another person then looks at the numbers to see whether there are more of a number than expected. Like the flip of a fair coin, there should be about half of each result.
In one form of the experiment, a person with PK is told to force 1's before the generator runs. Then it runs, a person checks the results, and the person has successfully forced extra 1's. This is normal cause and effect, as we understand it.
In the second form of the experiment, the number generator runs first and the results are recorded on floppy disk. Then afterward, the person is told whether to force it to produce extra 1's or extra 0's. The person makes an effort, and then someone looks at the already recorded results to see if it worked. And, it does a scientifically significant amount of time. Since the floppy hasn't been touched, the results must have been there all along, in the direction asked for.
No one, including top scientists, has been able to explain how that works. All they can prove is that it does work a significant number of times. For more details, look for studies on retro-psychokinesis in scientific parapsychology journals.
Levitating objects is possible though rare. This can either be straight up, or moving the object across the room. For reasons probably tied to beliefs, this rarely happens when people are watching. Sometimes, though, a person will turn around just in time to see the object drop. It may account for some objects relocating across the room when no one moved them (this happens to a large number of people, in cases where it couldn't be just forgetfulness).
In my experience, objects spontaneously levitated or moved when I was daydreaming. Typically, I was relaxed, dreamy, unfocused, and mentally energetic. I don't know how long objects levitated. I only noticed them once they fell down with a bang. Other than general mood, I haven't discovered any details for causing movement on purpose.
Chimes rang indoors without wind, repeatedly (and just one chime at a time, not the whole set). A pan floated straight up and then dropped back down onto the same shelf. A cordless phone moved to a different corner of the room while I was awake in it but not watching. A spiral handset phone cord floated in the air in front of my eyes, until I thought, "That can't float!" at which point it promptly dropped to the floor. Some of these happened with friends in the room, and they agreed with my observations. I haven't learned to control them yet, though.
Teleportation, which means an object vanishes in one place and reappears somewhere else, is reported occasionally but is extremely rare. Since I don't have the ability, I can't teach it. I mention it here to help people research it.
Search carefully through parapsychology journals and publications. There are stories of psychic Chinese children who can cause flowers, pills, and other small objects to teleport on cue. There are stories of a Scottish man from hundreds of years ago showing up in Europe in the 1990s, very confused about what happened to his farm. There are stories of mediums who conjure small objects during seances.
Some of these have been researched in detail. Some are just reported as case studies. Because they aren't repeatable in a lab, they're difficult to verify and prove. Also, it's very difficult to get studies of such controversial topics published in the United States. Search for psychic studies from Europe, Australia, Canada, China, and Russia.

Psychokinesis most often manifests spontaneously and accidentally as microPK. The person may not notice microPK. Strongly wanting a dice roll or a particular hand of cards, can cause microPK to happen. This may account for a person's good luck or bad luck.
Random manifestation comes from a strong emotional desire. The desire motivates the ability, which then works subconsciously to bring about the goal.
Random Manifestations of Macro Psychokinesis
The other emotional state that often causes psychokinesis is high adrenaline. This can be anger, fear/terror, frustration, excitement, or pleasure.
Adrenaline psychokinesis can manifest in a big way: objects moving around, electronic equipment breaking, or a glass shattering. While this is impressive, it's usually not repeatable. It usually scares the person involved, although it's unlikely to hurt anyone.
This is also the ability sometimes responsible for poltergeist effects in homes. The poltergeist effects center around one person with an undisciplined psychokinetic ability and usually a lot of emotional upset and stress. The psychokinetic activity may be a way of releasing some of the stress or making it more obvious so it gets solved.
This may not account for all such cases, but it is the reason behind some of them. People who have troublesome psychokinetic activity should contact an agency with a good reputation in parapsychology - ask for their history and references - and get assistance there.
Random psychokinesis shows that the person does have a natural ability towards psychokinesis. If the person wants to do so, she or he may work on gaining control of the ability, and causing it on purpose in the intended fashion. Even if a person has not had random psychokinesis before, if he or she is willing to let it happen, it may eventually do so.
Intentional Manifestations of Micro Psychokinesis
Psychokinesis can also manifest on purpose. The easiest to study is micro psychokinesis affecting random number generators (RNGs) because scientists can measure the effect. Psychic research labs have identified people who can consistently affect RNGs.
Computer programs are becoming a possibility for an at-home lab with as much or almost as much control as a scientific lab. The best of these programs use true random numbers, generated from special hardware. Simpler programs use pseudo-random numbers, which can have patterns or repetition in them, and are harder or impossible to affect.
A cheap route to practicing micro psychokinesis is to use a fair die. See the section Statistics and the Z-Score for detailed experiments and how to interpret the results.
Intentional Manifestations of Macro Psychokinesis
Some people can also manifest macro psychokinesis on purpose. Most will not demonstrate it, or even let anyone else know they can do it. They would be harassed about the ability if they did. Don't expect any demonstrations.
In many cases, these people had random macro psychokinesis manifestations, and eventually discovered how to control them. They may not understand the ability or be able to teach it. Some methods for learning macro psychokinesis are discussed later in this page. Since few people can learn it easily, they aren't as tried and practiced as the other skills in this book.
A very large part of learning macro psychokinesis is belief. If a person believes that it can't happen, it won't. If they believe it might happen, then it might. If they can fully believe that it will happen, it will.
This is covered and explained in more details in the belief section. Disbelief is why macro psychokinesis is one of the more rare psychic abilities. It takes a lot to overcome the initial disbelief enough to manifest the ability a few times. Just like any other psychic ability, it can be learned if approached correctly.

Tag: Sea of Galilee
Listening for echoes
Looking for Jesus where He lived
The last day of our Holy Ground Adventure was filled with insights and inspiration. On this day we unwrapped fresh layers of Jesus in the place He called home.
After his Synagogue confrontation in Nazareth, Jesus came to live in Capernaum along the North shore of the Sea of Galilee. In the day, its harbor for fishing boats extended for over half a mile. This little town was the major center of trade and commerce in Galilee and it was like a toll booth along the Via Maris trade route. Remember Matthew? He quite probably was a toll collector on that route and tolls for fish caught on the lake.
This is where the paralyzed man was lowered toward Jesus through the roof; And, some believe this is where Jesus spoke about being the bread of life. Imagine Jesus walking the streets and staying the night in one of these small homes.
Peter lived in this town. In fact, we visited an ancient house that tradition says was Peter's house.
The Galilee region is filled with Holy Ground places, hillsides, shade trees, sitting rocks, fields, dusty roads, and the Sea of Galilee (really a lake).
We stopped on a hillside that is reported to be the hillside where Jesus revealed his famous beatitudes. We walked the grounds, sat on rocks, and listened for echoes of his words, "Blessed are the…."
By the way, read the intro passage in Matthew again, Was Jesus speaking to the crowd, or was he speaking to His disciples while watching the crowd Just a thought brought to you by George…
We took a boat ride out on the lake. There I was reminded that a sailor is concerned about town conditions when sailing into deep water, sudden and violent storms and calm windless skies. We watched for wind. Jesus reminds us that it takes faith to face the storms, but it also takes faith to wait for the wind.
At the Jordan River we ate lunch, marvelous Peter fish. It was the best fish of the trip, some however had trouble with the presentation. After lunch three of our group were baptized in the Jordan. It was an anchor moment it was for them, and for me. I know this milestone is not about who is doing the baptizing, none the less, I felt inspired.
For some, Holy Ground was experienced in and on water. How can that be? It's a God thing!

Locking Stance: LOCKING Mortgage Bonds: –38bp
Mortgage backed securities held up pretty good yesterday, though there was a brief "scare". They ended the day up around 28 basis points. Today marks the beginning of the barrage of data that will bring extreme volatility in all likelihood due to the shortened trading week, which will end with the monthly Jobs Jamboree and will put the 200-day moving average to the test.
This morning, we saw that the Case-Schiller Housing Price Index at a lackluster –18.12% versus –18.16%. Previous reports have been missing lower and we now see an increase in the numbers on both the 10 and the 20 composites. In about 15 minutes, we will see the Chicago PMI hit the airwaves which may add to the pressures if it comes in above expectations, and another 15 minutes after that, we will see Consumer Confidence released. This afternoon also holds several Fed speeches, so there words may affect the markets as well, adding to the volatility.
What does this mean for Florida Mortgage Rates? Expect mortgage rates to tick higher today, with a chance of further deterioration possible as the day goes on.

Barriers pave the road to tranquility
Work on the Thruway in Guilderland and Albany aims at reducing highway noise
Published 1:00 am, Monday, July 12, 2010
GUILDERLAND -- Residents in Albany and Guilderland will have more peace and quiet after crews install new noise barriers to drown out the traffic sounds from the New York state Thruway.
Residents in McKownville have been lobbying state Thruway officials for years to have the barriers installed, said neighborhood association president Donald Reeb. "We've been advocating for this for more than 15 years," Reeb said.
Nine barriers will be installed in the Capital Region as construction crews undertake renovations to the busy interstate totaling $115 million, funded primarily through toll revenue. In addition to noise barriers, the project includes an addition of a third lane in each direction, reconstruction of drainage, vertical clearance improvements to bridges and storm water mitigation to the seven-mile stretch of the Thruway between exits 23 and 24.
Barriers are going up near Bohl and Mereline avenues, Rose, Kelton and Holmes courts, Edgecomb Street, Hemlock Lane, St. Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church, all in Albany; the Woodscape subdivision, Vaughn Drive, Strawberry Lane, and Woodlake Apartments, all in Guilderland.
Engineers use existing noise measurements and noise prediction programs to help project any increases with adding an extra lane of traffic, said Thruway civil engineer Brent Howard. Input was also collected from residents through public meetings and written surveys.
Originally 10 noise barriers were proposed, but Albany residents on Kenosha and Mountain streets and Southern Boulevard rejected the proposal to have a noise barrier installed in their neighborhood. Of the 86 residents impacted in that neighborhood, 62 voted not to have the barriers installed.
Construction is expected to begin during the spring of 2011, Thruway officials said and the project should be completed in the summer of 2013.

To most, he was Bradley Schnickel, a 32-year-old Minneapolis police officer with a wife and children. But online, he assumed a different identify, a prosecutor said.
The Andover father of two referred to himself as "Brady Schmidt" and told two of four juveniles he is accused of soliciting online over the past 18 months that he liked "younger girls," according to a criminal complaint filed against him Friday, Feb. 8, in Anoka County District Court.
He also lied about his age, telling one girl he was 22, for example, the complaint said. He told another he was 19.
"It's my understanding he was quite prolific on social media sites," Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo said. "The allegations are that he misled these young girls into thinking he was much younger."
As his relationships with the girls escalated, he allegedly persuaded two to meet him in person. One 14-year-old allegedly had sex with him in a car parked near Crooked Lake in Anoka County after Schnickel gave the girl Mountain Dew mixed with vodka, the complaint said.
He allegedly masturbated in front of another, a 13-year-old girl he introduced himself to on Facebook and who eventually agreed to meet in his car outside her Coon Rapids residence, the complaint said.
Schnickel kept his head down as Assistant Anoka County Attorney Paul Young described the allegations against him at his first court appearance Friday.
He is charged with six felonies, including two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of engaging in electronic communication relating to or describing sexual conduct with a child.
His wife did not respond to a request for comment as she left the courtroom following the hearing.
Schnickel was released from Anoka County Jail on Friday afternoon after he posted bail, which had been set at $250,000. He is not allowed to have any contact with juvenile females as a condition of his release, including his two daughters, both of whom are 2 or younger.
Messages left at the couple's Andover home asking for comment were not returned.
Hours after the hearing, Minneapolis police announced Schnickel was no longer employed by the city. Sgt. Steve McCarty said he could not divulge whether Schnickel quit or was fired.
In his relationships with the other two minors mentioned in the complaint, Schnickel is accused of repeatedly asking them to engage in sexual activity with him.
He allegedly sent one 14-year-old more than 15 pictures of his genitals and got her to send him a picture of her wearing a sports bra, the complaint said.
He allegedly told another 14-year-old he "likes girls her age" and said he wanted to take away her virginity.
It is not believed that Schnickel told any of the girls he was a Minneapolis police officer or that he communicated with them while working.
He was placed on paid home assignment from his position as a patrol officer with the department Jan. 24 after Minneapolis police learned of the investigation.
After the allegations against him surfaced, Schnickel allegedly contacted three of the girls, asking them to either change the story they had told police or to deny having any relationship with him, the complaint said.
Prosecutors believe all of those contacts were made within the last week.
In one instance, he showed up at one girl's bus stop, the complaint said.
As the investigation continues, it's possible more victims will arise, Young said, pointing out that investigators have reviewed only a third of the nearly 9,000 pages of electronic evidence against Schnickel.
"Quite frankly, this investigation has barely begun," Young said.
Brooklyn Center police first learned of Schnickel's alleged activity after a parent contacted them about an inappropriate relationship their 14-year-old daughter was having with a man online.
Police got search warrants for her Facebook records, and those pointed to Schnickel.
Investigators have since obtained search warrants to obtain his computers, phones and other items.
A search of his home found two cars matching the description given by the girls Schnickel is accused of meeting, as well as a bottle of vodka.
A separate investigation is under way in Hennepin County regarding the Brooklyn Center case, but no charges have been filed.
Schnickel primarily used Facebook and Skype to communicate with the girls, the complaint said.
Palumbo warned parents to be vigilant of their children's online activity.
"The Internet is obviously a doorway into your home, and that doorway needs to be monitored by parents," he said.

Writer's block happens to every great writer at some point in their career. While this can be discouraging to some writers, it is easy to overcome. Many cases of writer's block are a result of conflicted feelings. Writers want their writings to be perfect and want their work to be done as soon as possible.
If you are stuck in the middle of writing a novel or any other literary document, here are 4 tips to help you get back on track:
Engage In Something Creative
One way to overcome writer's block is to step away from whatever you are doing and engage yourself in something creative. This may include painting pictures, writing poetry, making a scrapbook, etc. After you have worked on another project for a few days, you can go back to writing. Participating in other creative activities can activate your creativity. By exercising the creative part of your brain, you will eventually get your feel for writing back. These distractions in your head may be part of what is keeping you blocked.
Try Freewriting
Freewriting is another great solution if you have writer's block. Just take 15 minutes out of your day to write down whatever comes to your head, ignoring punctuation. This process trains your brain to tap into the words inside your head and gives them a place to live in your journal or on your computer. Freewriting allows you to get thoughts out of your head. Write whatever comes to mind about your topic. You can write down things that come to mind that are not directly related to your topic as well. Do this for a week and then return to your writing. While most of what you write during the 15 minutes will be not be used for your writing, you will be warmed up and when you return to your serious writing, it should go much more smoothly.
Eliminate All Distractions
Eliminating distractions is essential for producing quality work. Turn off your phone and unplug the internet to limit distractions. Clean up your desk so that there is no clutter, as a cluttered desk can put the mind into a state of confusion. Make a set schedule just for writing. Ask loved ones to respect your writing time so that you can write without any interruptions, or choose to write when everyone else in the household is sleeping. By giving yourself time and space to get your writing completed, you have a better chance of staying focused on the task at hand.
Moving your body and being physically active can help writer's block. When you get your body into flow, your mind follows and starts to flow as well. Meditating and taking long, deep breaths can make the mind more relaxed. A relaxed mind tends to be more open, and an opened mind tends to be more imaginative. By stepping away from writing for a while and engaging in activities that are peaceful, you will return to writing in a more creative state.
Every serious writer has dealt with writer's block at least once in their career and has come out stronger on the other side. While it can be discouraging, it is not a reason to give up. These are just four of the ways to beat your writer's block. By following these tips, you can successfully get back into the flow of smooth writing.

The Death of The Individual
Network (1976) is a film about the corporatization of the media. The story follows the members of a major network as it is bought out by a large conglomerate and is forced to sensationalize its news department in order to draw ratings. The movie itself is prophetic because it very nearly predicts the rise of reality television and a state of things where former notions of "authenticity" or "objectivity" in news reporting are irrelevant, taken over by editorialization. Here presented is a scene from the film where Howard Beale, a former news anchor-turned evangelist against corporations, is being lectured by the CEO of the company that bought the network for which Beale works. I think this scene articulates the fears of many when they think about globalization - that the process will cause society to become more and more complex until the individual becomes completely depersonalized. Or, that as the powers of corporations rise, as they create novel linkages, the individuals involved in them won't matter, as long as the corporation is turning a profit. The analogue that the movie presents is the effect of the big corporation on the smaller news department and the journalists themselves. Their personal "primal doubts" about the authenticity of their work don't matter, only the ratings that the network receives. The question about whether globalization has made individuals less important is an interesting one. Network itself is over twenty years old, filmed at a time when the velocity of change associated with globalization was just beginning to make manifest. Certainly, the size of corporations has grown since then, but one might consider that the idea of "uploading" has allowed individuals connected to the internet to make themselves noticeable with perhaps the smallest effort in the history of mankind.

Snowboard Review: 10-11 Stepchild Salary Man
22 Mar, 2010
Location: Winter Park, CO
Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to icy conditions on the mountain, flat-light riding conditions.
Setup: I rode the Stepchild Salary Man with Ride Bandita Contraband bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8.
Size: 155cm.
First Impression: This board is the sucks model (powder sucks, everything sucks) and while some stuff might suck…this board makes the mountain not suck when you ride it.
Weight: average
Flex: The stepchild sucks was middle of the road for the flex, it wasn't stiff but it wasn't soft. It could handle the playful fun riding on the mountain but also charge freeriding. It was a very ideal middle of the road for an all mountain board and I could still play with it on butters and presses. The flex was consistent throughout the board, never felt like the tail or nose was stiffer than the other and underfoot a tad stiffer to absorb rougher landings. Overall it was a fairly forgiving ride on the mountain with no surprises in how it handled.
Turning: It was a very predictable ride down the mountain, easy to transition into turns and you felt the board hold the carve each turn whether it was short or long radius it handled both equally well on the mountain. I was really impressed with how it turned, held the edge and in those rough icy spot I felt really stable on it.
Stable: This is where the salary man (sucks board) impressed me the most. The conditions were icy hardpacked to choppy death and the salary man rode it like it was powder. I had no problems with handling the icy spots, it gripped the snow very well and charged through cruddy bumpy spots absorbing them better than expected.
Pop: I just played around with the salary man on flat terrain with some basic tricks, nose and tail presses which were pretty easy on the salary man. The ollies were normal typical ollies and good pop to them. On the boxes the board didn't catch and wasn't too stiff to play around with.
Switch: The salary man is a true twin with a centered stance and sidecut and rides exactly like a true twin when switch. I found it handled the same switch or regular with no problems.
Overall Impression: I can see why the salary man/everything sucks/powder sucks collection is popular it's a great price for a all mountain board that isn't limited to just one section of the mountain. It really made my demo day end on a high note and I found that I could have kept riding it longer except I needed to return it to the rep. Overall a really solid ride and a great board that will be available in reverse camber or camber.
Shay's Honesty Box: I said this in the Ride bandita review and I'll say it in this review, the combination of the salary man and Ride bandita bindings was the best matched setup of the demo. I took them out at the last runs of the day and because of them, kept wanting to ride despite the crappy conditions and being sick. It was such a fun all mountain ride that didn't require any adjustment, it just made the mountain a blast and I kept taking laps on them.

Wow, this is the first new board I've seen in a while that I'm dying to buy. Love the graphics too.
March 24, 2010
I've been riding this board from last year. By far the best board ive ever had. It´s good in pow, on big kickers and on rails. Presses are easy on this thing, and you can still go for a day of straight lining slopes with all the control you need. Love it
March 26, 2010

Extreme Outdoor Server, Single/Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2428L v2, 1.8GHz
Manufacturer's part number :
ETOS-1000/D2428L v2/M16GB/mSATA 32GB
Description :
ADLINK's new ETOS-1000 is the first high-performance mobile edge computing (MEC) platform specifically designed for extreme environments and outdoor telecom/networking applications. Based on the dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 v2 family of processors, the ETOS-1000 MEC platform enables Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) and application providers to deliver data center performance at the edge of the network. The ETOS-1000 provides IT and cloud-computing capabilities within the Radio Access Network (RAN) in close proximity to mobile subscribers. This offers a service environment characterized by proximity, ultra-low latency, and high-bandwidth that allows content, services, and applications to be accelerated, maintaining a customer's high-level Quality of Experience (QoE).
The ETOS-1000 mobile edge computing platform provides computing resources, storage capacity, connectivity and access to user traffic and real-time radio and network information. This allows operators to offer context-related services that can differentiate and monetize the user experience. In addition, since the data is processed at the edge in the RAN environment, the ETOS-1000 reduces backhaul costs and improves the infrastructure's efficiency with more intelligent and optimized networks. And with the onset of network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure, having data center performance at the edge of networks can enable specific virtualized network functions (VNFs) closer to the consumer, improving QoE. Attributes such as shock and vibration resistance, -40˚C to +55˚C operating temperature range, and IP65 water and dust ingress rating make the ETOS-1000 an ideal solution for outdoor and extreme environments. The ETOS-1000 can also utilize ADLINK's application ready intelligent platform (ARiP) software, which includes PacketManager, remote management functions, and system management APIs for application developers. ARiPs enable customers to focus primarily on their application instead of the IoT platform building blocks required for cloud computing. The ETOS-1000 reduces maintenance costs by eliminating fans and filters and offering worry-free, weather-resistant, high-speed connections for copper or fiber options.
