New spiritual teacher Stephen Wingate is introduced.
ts provides a very interesting follow-up to a news story recently posted, telling us about a couple of valuable and beautifully written books on wilderness life.
Ramon Sender describes a method for achieving bliss that anyone could try. (Now if I had one for money, girls, and a raucous sidekick, I'd be all set.)
Wayne Wirs introduces a new movement he has started called Peace Cause.
Have a nice weekend. And write us! Your contribution could appear in the Highlights as well. However, be patient as it might be a couple weeks or so before we publish it.
We want to hear about new websites, new teachers, news stories, brief original pieces, excerpts from books, or whatever else you think we'd like to see. Thanks.
Stephen Wingate
Bottom line: How does this work?
There really is nothing mystical
or magical about this. It is very simple, logical and applicable
to everyone. This is not just for special beings who were
able to transcend their earthly fetters and rise above the lowly
egoic peasantry through years of self-sacrifice and meditation.
That's all bullshit. This is true for anyone and everyone.
These words apply to you and to me:
"We are free here and now, it is only the mind that imagines bondage. Seeing that there is no such thing as a permanent, separate person, all becomes clear. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness. It is lucid, silent, peaceful, alert, and unafraid - without desire and fear. To realize this is the end of all seeking."
Nisargadatta Maharaj
These few words say it all. Let's break them down.
1) "We are free here and now, it is only the mind that imagines bondage."
Is this true? Consider your own experience. When you are sitting quietly, not thinking about yourself and your problems, can anything trouble you? Can there be any bondage if you are not imagining yourself to be bound? Of course you are free here and now!! Nisargadatta puts it another way, too: "Nothing can trouble you but your own imagination." There is no such thing as bondage. It is merely a concept!
2) "Seeing that there is no such thing as a permanent, separate person, all becomes clear."
Is this true? Look for yourself. What is the common denominator in all of your suffering, all of your problems? What is at the center of your life situation? What is this "me" that says, "my" life, "my" problems? If it is seen that there is no separate me, no separate person here at all, can there be any suffering? The me who was bound and suffering is just imagination. Reading the words and agreeing or disagreeing is not enough. Seeing this for yourself is the key.
3) "You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness. It is lucid, silent, peaceful, alert, and unafraid - without desire and fear."
If I am not the separate person I thought I was then what am I? Isn't consciousness your essential nature? If you are not conscious can anything else exist? Can there be a "me" and "my" story if consciousness is not there to witness it? What is the nature of pure consciousness? Isn't it clear, silent, peaceful, alert, unafraid? So consciousness is what you are: not a separate person.
4) "To realize this is the end of all seeking."
For what are you seeking? Aren't you seeking for clarity, peace, freedom from desire and fear? Aren't these the characteristics of consciousness? You are what you are seeking! Realizing that you are consciousness, not the separate person you imagined yourself to be, the seeking comes to an end and you are free!
When these words are understood and known as the truth they become your daily living experience. It's as simple as it looks. There's nothing magical or mystical about it. There is no need for any mystical experience of universal love and union. The understanding brings on a simple experience of Peace and well-being that is felt as the common ground of all your daily experiences. Happiness and sadness, laughter and tears, anger and joy: all come and go in this awareness of peace and well-being. Nothing to gain. Nothing to lose. Everything is as it is.

Thank you for these news story links.
This one esp caught my eye:
At first glance I thought the story of a woman in
be that of Kate Austen ... as later recalled in "Northern Nurse" ...
written by her husband Elliot Merrek.
from the site: [link below]
"Elliot Merrick is known primarily for his superb book True North,
which remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 17 weeks
in 1942.
after the young Australian had spent two years working as the
nurse at the famed Labrador Grenfell Mission. Years after he
wrote True North, he decided the adventures his wife had experienced
I have read True North many times ...
and it remains one of my favorite books about the north ...
however ... the story of Kate Austen's life and adventures there ...
as told in "Northern Nurse", eclipses those of Merrick himself, imo.
She spent two years running this remote northern hospital, as the
doctor had fallen ill and never arrived, and often traveled alone
via dogsled to administer to women in childbirth, in remote
trapper's cabins in the canadian bush.
An impressive story ... and fact, not fiction.
in addition to "A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador" and
"Northern Nurse", this site also reviews the books written by
Dillon Wallace, mentioned in the article on "A Woman's Way Through
Unknown Labrador", along with many more about some other very
remarkable people.
I don't believe these folks spent a lot of time speculating and
theorizing, but rather ... were very practical and pragmatic ...
and paid a great deal of attention to *what is* ...
else they would not have survived to tell the tales.
may all give and receive peace
note from jerry: Thanks for bringing these books and your insights to our attention.
Ramon Sender
Always a pleasure to
read Ndhighlights. Thank yoU!
I just posted the following to my blog, but there are other things
there that might also be of interest. (see below the personal message)
The theory I'm following goes as
follows: every night when we sleep, we
enter Nirvana - we merge with our higher selves or whatever you wish
to call it. The only thing is that we are not conscious to appreciate this
absorption into bliss. As a father and grandfather, I have noted how
babies 'sleep-nurse' -- make the mouth movements in their sleep, and
though I would try it out. Over the past few years, I have tried to use
this nursing on the soft palette exercise the moment I awaken in the
morning, and have written in up on my website various times.
Even if you think I'm crazy or strange, please try it out. You won't
regret it.
This morning I managed to start my waking-up nursing exercise earlier than
usual. That is, I began sucking on my soft palette and uvula while still
half-asleep -- the 'sleep-nursing' that babies do. About twenty of these
'pulls' and I dissolved into the sleep-bliss state but still remained
conscious. Oh-my-gosh, what ecstasy! I went on to do about two hundred more,
ignoring the signals that I had reached my 'bliss tolerance ceiling' (more
about that another time) and by then my whole body was in an indescribable
state of flowing energies. I am not kidding you! And I am not exaggerating.
One definition of stupidity must be to keep searching for something you
already have in your hand. That is exactly what I've been doing. I've been
holding onto this priceless gem of an exercise, 'polishing' it a little
every morning (maybe up to about 100 'pulls' at most), but then dropping it
when I hit my 'bliss tolerance level' and starting my normal morning
routine. I must be truly crazy. Here I am, sitting on at least this one
exercise that easily achieves a bliss state so intense that I have to STOP
before I melt into a puddle, and do I concentrate on it? No, I start
wondering what to have for breakfast, where the car is parked, etc. Insanity
is to keep looking for ways to enlightenment when I already have discovered
at least two that trigger my definition of Nirvana - that incredible bliss
we experience every night while asleep but we are not conscious to enjoy.
Anyway, I'm going to toot my horn again (I already have written about this
several times on my website). Perhaps I can convince at least a few folks to
try this and let me know if it works for them too. If not, then I'm just one
very lucky guy that God has taken under Her soft and downy wing. (By the
way, if you are suffering from any sort of heart condition, please check
with your physician before trying this. It really is a very potent
When your heart chakra beams lusciously in all directions from this
exercise, whatever the head decides to do is not at all bothersome! My goal
is to keep the nursing-on-the-palette going all day today and see where I am
by the end of the day! I need to put some sort of reminder on myself --
maybe a rubber band around my thumb? I'll report back tomorrow. No more
dropping back down into everyday humdrum-hood. I'm going for the gold this
time! And I'm going to start setting my alarm clock so I can repeat this
morning's better connection from deep sleep to nursing more easily.
Your Effect on World Peace - Where We've Gone Wrong
A message from Wayne Wirs, Founder of PeaceCause
There is a tragic, mistaken
assumption in society that the individual has little, if any
on global events. This false assumption is the key reason for an overwhelming and far-reaching
sense of resignation, a sense of hopelessness, that world events are out of our individual control.
The assumption that most people have, whether conscious or not, is simply this: "I have very little
influence on the world."
Anyone who has read Fading
Toward Enlightenment knows that my nemesis, my bane, is
the Assumption.
I have spent my entire life digging up and unearthing deeply embedded assumptions. The problem with
an assumption, is that unless we take it out and examine it, we will unconsciously continue to
believe it.
The statement, "I have very
little influence on the world," is false. "I have very
little direct
influence on the world," is correct. One word. Big difference. "Direct."
You have a huge, indirect
influence on world events. Because your influence is indirect,
you may
not see it, but I assure you its there. Let me prove it with just two little words: Harry Potter.
The first Harry Potter book did
not become famous because of some multi-million dollar
budget. Harry Potter wasn't enacted into law, he wasn't a war hero, he wasn't taught in our
schools, temples, mosques or churches. Harry Potter influenced millions of people, because people,
quite simply, talked about him. Ironically, most of those people were little kids. One little kid,
Tommy, read the book, loved it, and then told all his friends, who read it, and told their friends
and so on. One little kid, Tommy, influenced thousands of other little kids indirectly.
You have a huge, indirect
influence on the world. Your influence spreads simply by sharing
words and actions with others, sharing what is important to you. Now let me ask you a question. Is
peace in your life important?
PeaceCause was founded on the
belief that peace will grow and thrive by strengthening personal
peace, and sharing this peace with others. Simple as that. World peace, one person at a time.
At PeaceCause.org, we provide
the tools, information and inspiration for creating peace in your
personal life. Membership is free, the tools are free, the articles are free. We want to make it as
practical and feasible for you, the individual, to gain peace in your life and to help spread peace
to the lives of others.
When you teach a man to fish, he
will teach his village to fish. Teach a man to fish, and you feed
an entire village for generations to come.
PeaceCause : World Peace - one person at a time.

I'm starting of my top 3 highstreet/drugstore concealers with the superb 'Collection lasting perfection concealer' because it's probably the most repurchased concealer in my makeup stash!
High coverage, creamy, good colour match and super inexpensive Now what more can I ask for? for £4.19 and even cheaper when on offer.
I use the shade 'deep' and find that the salmon undertone counteracts the darkness well. Regardless of the fact that I color correct under the eyes when using ANY concealer I really like the undertone this shade has.
This concealer comes in the normal doe-foot applicator/lip gloss tube style, allowing an easy distribution of product to the desired areas of the face. The doe-foot picks up sufficient amounts of product where you can carefully build up the coverage to the desired amount required.
Coverage and color selection?
The shade 'deep' further brightens the under eye area after colour correcting providing a good medium and if built up, a high medium coverage. However as I'm using the shade 'deep'- (which is unfortunately the darkest shade in the range), I do go over it with a lighter concealer to further brighten it. And so this concealer would be a good option to purchase in lighter shades if you want a highlighted under eye area.
As the name suggests' lasting perfection', this concealer definitely lasts on me around the 8 hour mark until the darkness under the eyes start to re-appear.
This concealer is creamy yet has a drier creamy consistency. Maybe the reason as to why it lasts well on the skin. Nonetheless it does blend beautifully under the eyes. However if you do have dry under eyes I do recommend a good hydrating under eye cream, so that it sits well and less creasing is apparent.
Now which concealer doesn't crease? they all do but if this is set well and excess product is removed there is minimal creasing.
Does it need to be set with powder? To increase longevity I think it is crucial to atleast lightly set any concealer. However the finish of this concealer is matte so if you do not like to, it will still look flawless.
All in all, this concealer really performs well. I always seem to go back to it so do try it if you haven't!
Have you tried this? what do you guys think?

During a recent search warrant, Zeus managed to locate quite a bit of marijuana, narcotics and cash. As many of you know, Zeus is a narcotic dog assigned to the Santa Clara County Specialized Enforcement Team (SCCSET). Zeus' primary job is to use his highly trained, Labrador nose to locate illegal narcotics hidden in all sorts of creative places.
Zeus' most recent stats since his score above?
- 1,095 pounds of marijuana
- 5 pounds of methamphetamine
- 206 Ecstasy pills
- 7.6 pounds of cocaine
- 1/2 pound of heroin
- $352,591.00 in U.S. currency from narcotics sales (Zeus alerts to the narcotic odor left on the currency)

Blue Coat School 9/4/2003
John 20.1-18
SORROW may remain for a night, but JOY comes in the morning. [Psalm 30.5]
You might know what that feels like. When you go to bed with problem and wake up thinking of the answer. Or when you end the day arguing with someone and wake up feeling like making up with them. SORROW may remain for a night, but JOY comes in the morning. This could also be a perfect description of what happened at Easter.
In the Easter story, imagine the transformation between the Saturday night and the Sunday morning, how death turned to life, how despair was replaced by hope, how those closest to Jesus changed from the saddest to the happiest people on earth.
In the story of God, joy often comes in the morning.
Remember how God, early in the morning, when the world was young, made life in all its beauty and terror; giving birth to all that we know.
Remember how, early in the morning, when the world least expected it, a newborn child crying in a cradle announced that God had come among us, that God was one of us.
Remember how, early in the morning, surrounded by angry crowds, religious leaders, anxious statesmen and silent friends, Jesus accepted the penalty for doing good, for being God: he shouldered and suffered the cross.
Remember how, early in the morning, a voice in a guarded graveyard and footsteps in the dew proved that Jesus had risen, that he had come back to those and for those who had forgotten, denied and destroyed him.
That is why, every morning, and especially on Easter morning, in the multi-coloured company of God's Church on earth and in heaven, we can celebrate the creation, and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, we can celebrate God's interest in us.
At Holy Trinity we have an Easter Morning Sunrise Service.
Because the sun rises at 6.02 am on Easter Day this year we'll be gathering at ten to six. It's a bit early; but it's great to be there, on this special day in the year, to see the morning light break through the sky.
Watching this happen we can imagine how Mary must have felt as she realised the dark night was over and the light had come back into the world. We can understand even better what it means to say, SORROW may remain for a night, but JOY comes in the morning. We might think about how this has come true in our own lives, how sorrow has been replaced by joy.
If you think any of this is worth celebrating, maybe you'll remember to get up this Easter Sunday to see the sunrise in.
(Central section adapted from Lord God, early in the morning, in Wild Goose Resource Group: Stages on the Way, p.184)

For an easy-to-grow orchid, Epidendrum laterale is just about tops. It will grow and bloom in a wide variety of conditions. A good example is this plant that I had intended to mount then forgot about. It was dropped in a pot and hidden behind some other plants.
Epidendrum laterale grows in Costa Rica and Panama and into Colombia. It grows very tropical in humid, warm to hot conditions at low elevations. It is fragrant and the flowers are reasonably long lasting.
The weather was sunny and warm yesterday. I had the greenhouse open and was clearing out a section of bench to make a start at spring cleaning. Down at the bottom of the pot was a spike!
First thing this morning I will get it onto a cork mount and up into the light so it can grow as it should.

To write this poem, I asked myself the question "What if". Then I added a few exaggerations. I hope it makes you smile.
It began as a night like any other
Watching TV with sister and brother.
Watching show after show until
The picture tube went dark and still.
Like statues we just sat and stared
Except for John who looked scared
Then his face turned a shade of ghastly blue
"Without TV what will we do?"
Then sister Sue's face turned green
The likes of it I've never seen.
Minutes before she had laughed out loud
Now gloom draped her like a cloud.
"But who will teach us how to think,
With television on the blink!
Who'll entertain us we need to know!
Who'll help shape our minds to grow?"
"Why don't we play a game or two?"
I said while glancing at my shoe.
Then Sue and John stared hard at me
"You mean like a regular family."
I nodded twice before I could blink,
Then added to that quick as a wink.
"Isn't that how kids once had played
Before TV took that away."
Then a look of hope came to their eyes
I admit it came as quit a surprise.
"We do have a lot of toys and games
Like, clue and scrabble and other names."
The rest of the night we played together
My sister Sue and John my brother.
Laughing until our sides were split
Not minding that the TV quit.

I didn't realize there was such an extensive meal plan in there. Wow. That's really helpful. I need to take a closer look at that for ideas.

Right now, I have a 7-day Atkins 72 Menu I've been working on that I plan to post tomorrow. I want to do a lot of menus this year. I have a 3-day menu and a 7-day Induction menu for 2002 that I did last year. They are under the Atkins Diet tab at the top of the blog.

One thing you might consider is to do the 72 menu I'm going to to post tomorrow, (carbs are only 2 cups of salad and a few salad-veggies a day), then move to the 7-day 2002 menu I already have posted, (2 cups of salad and 1 cup cooked vegetables), and then move to the Induction menu in your book (6 cups of salad/veggies I think?).

That way, you could get your cravings under control before you started eating too many vegetables. You'd slide into that higher carb veggie level that The New Atkins for a New You is at.

It's the sugar in the vegetables that keeps the cravings alive, so for the first 2 to 3 weeks, you want to eat more meat and eggs, and keep your vegetables low. Let the body adapt.

What I want to do is eventually find my own carb tolerance level. My problem is that I like the more structured menu plan of The New Atkins for a New You and feel I will mess up if I am allowed to make choices for myself.

Any advice?

Thanks so much for sharing your insights and comments. It does get much harder and more restrictive each time to go back to a low-carb diet.

ideal waterproof bagReview by Ruud de Haanon 12/15/2017I own this bag since the beginning of the triathlon season. Not as an athlete, but as a speaker. However, what an ideal waterproof bag. I am able to take all my stuff, extra clothing, laptop etc with me. At the bottom a separate compartment for a rain suit. I am very happy with this great bag and I am not even an athlete!

meets all my requirementsReview by Marnixon 12/14/2017Many bags used, but this bag meets my requirements. Every pocket has been thought through and has a dedicated function. Wearing comfort is also great. A bag that every triathlete should have.

everything in one easy to use bagReview by Marleneon 12/14/2017Great to finally have found a bag that fits all my triathlon gear. Because of the many pockets I can pack everything (and find it quickly) all my dirty and wet clothes do not come into contact with my dry clothes or other gear. My helmet and wetsuit did not fit in my old backpack, so I always had a loose bag with me. Now that is no longer necessary!

Very happy with this bag!Review by Lindaon 12/14/2017I used this bag last Friday at the sprint triathlon and am super satisfied. Everything fit in with ease: wetsuit, shoes, thick sweater, towel. Handy bag for helmet in front and place for as many as 4 water bottles. Your wet wetsuit can be done at the bottom on the way back so that the rest of the bag does not get super wet.
Very satisfied with this bag!

Nice to have everything fitReview by Jessicaon 12/7/2017I think this bag is great. So nice to have everything fit, especially when you're riding to a location it's perfect!

Mini-summit on Burundi and Rwanda opens in Tanzanian capital
497 Mots
06 Avril 1994
Agence France-Presse
(Copyright 1994)
DAR ES SALAAM, April 6 (AFP) - A mini-summit of east and central African leaders opened here on Wednesday to discuss ethnic troubles in war-torn Burundi and Rwanda, chaired by Tanzanian President Ali Hassan Mwinyi.
The meeting was attended by, among others, Presidents Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi, Kenyan Vice-President George Saitoti and Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Secretary-General Salim Ahmed Salim.
Presidents Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire and Frederick Chiluba of Zambia were expected to attend but failed to arrive, and no reasons were given for their absence.
Mwinyi expressed frustration and disappointment over failure to restore peace and bring democracy to Rwanda and Burundi, two tiny central African nations that have known no peace since independence more than 30 years ago due to ethnic conflicts between majority Hutus and minority Tutsis.
Mwinyi pointed out that when Tanzania brokered a peace accord between vthe Rwandan government and Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) rebels last year, he had hoped that the two-year civil war would come to an end and peace be restored.
"In retrospect, everything seems to have gone to waste, and this frustration is not mine alone, it is also the frustration of all the neighbouring countries, the OAU, and the United Nations", Mwinyi said.
Mwinyi, who convened the mini-summit to discuss the situation in the two countries -- the Rwandan peace accord impasse and recent massacres of civilians in Burundi -- pointed out that out of the three transitional institutions provided for in the Arusha accords, only the presidency was in place.
"The tragedy as far as I am concerned is that the so-called stumbling blocks to the implementation of the peace process, such as the allocation of seats in parliament and cabinet posts are by all accounts matters not worth shedding a single drop of blood for", Mwinyi said.
On Burundi, Mwinyi said it was sad to see that the joy of a new era of peace, stability and co-operation in the brought about in the region by last July's democratic elections was wiped out by the military establishment's decision last October to put their "parochial interests above the wishes of the Burundians".
The Tutsi-dominated army staged a failed coup on October 21. The first elected president from the Hutu majority, Melchior Ndadaye, was murdered along with several of his key aides, and Burundi plunged into a bloody ethnic war which left hundreds of thousands of people dead and forced more than 700,000 others to flee into neighbouring Rwanda, Tanzania and Zaire.
"What Burundians got through the ballot box was taken away by the gun, and the situation as we all know, is very grave and, as neighbours, we cannot keep quiet," Mwinyi said.
In their remarks, Habyarimana and Ntaryamira pledged to make all efforts to restore peace in their two countries.

Employment Tips for Open Systems Professionals
The Workplace Hazards of Software Patents
By Jim Johnson
Who does current patent law really protect in the realm of software?
The number of companies receiving patents and filing patent applications for software has increased dramatically in the last couple of years. Although more companies are now filing applications, a small handful have held almost all software patents, with IBM and Hitachi topping the list. Patenting software may seem to be more of a legal issue than a workplace issue, but this trend increasingly impacts the everyday lives of staffers, managers and independent developers.
Patents should not be confused with copyrights; there are critical differences between the two concepts.
cover "works," a particular literal expression of an idea, such as a song or book.
originally were intended to cover "inventions" and to grant a 17-year monopoly on the production and use of such "devices." The social justification for this policy is to encourage progress in science and the "useful arts"; it provides an incentive for inventors to make the precise nature of their inventions public so they will eventually become available to all humanity. It should be noted that--in practice--the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) and the courts have come to define
as including relatively abstract
techniques, and now interpret
as encompassing the actual ideas underlying the devices.
Problems with Software Patents
At first, software patents might seem like a great idea. In 1994, mighty Microsoft was forced to bow to tiny Stac Electronics when it was determined that Microsoft's DoubleSpace product infringed upon the patented compression techniques used in Stac's Stacker product. But, just as Microsoft could be stung by a (presumably) accidental re-creation of a patented software technique, so can any other software company or independent developer.
However, consider for a moment how many lines of code have been written in the last few decades; then consider the fact that there is a dearth of computer science graduates among the PTO's examiners. Obviously, there are serious questions as to whether the PTO can reasonably determine if a specific claim has already been invented or may be unreasonably broad.
More importantly, the patenting of software discourages the innate creative process that is software development. For example, an essential element in the current Internet revolution has been free software like the Unix-based HTTPD Web server and the DOS/Windows-based Pegasus e-mail program, whose distribution cuts costs for providers and allows users to explore the Net for little initial cost. Ironically, this kind of software is precisely the type of innovation that is already being stifled by software patents.
Many independent developers have laid the foundations of their careers on freeware and shareware, and many managers of small firms have successfully leveraged these marketing methods into effective competition against "the big boys." The rapidly increasing number of software patents creates a much greater opportunity for accidental infringement and the costly legal proceedings and product derailments that often go along with it. By and large, software patents empower the big guys and disadvantage the little guys.
The case of Derek Noonburg is a good example of the hazards facing independent developers. Noonburg is a graduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. For fun, he created an X Window System-based application for reading PDF (a.k.a. Adobe Acrobat) files and was giving it away for free on the Internet. Unfortunately, the PDF standard includes LZW data compression, a technique for which Unisys Corp. holds a patent. In December 1995, he says, Unisys told him there was "no way" he could "legally distribute a free PDF viewer" that uses LZW. Noonburg was forced to pull his product from the Net until he could develop a workaround that doesn't use LZW.
Small companies are also vulnerable; from an economic standpoint, perhaps even more so than independent freeware developers. Some unscrupulous attorneys deliberately seek out overly broad patents and then demand "one-time licensing fees" from companies offering related products. Large companies may have the relative luxury of choosing to pay off or fight it out, but smaller firms often can't afford to do either and are forced to take a severe financial blow. (For a more thorough exploration of the history and legal aspects of software patents, see
High Technology and the Law
Fighting Back
As important as it is to protect oneself against the dangers of accidental patent infringement, it's not an easy task. The first and most important thing is to raise awareness; staffers should make sure that their managers and coworkers know of the danger, and managers should push their company to develop fluency in patent concepts and follow developments in the field. Both organizations and independent developers can do their part in keeping the problem from getting worse by refraining from patenting their own products (of course, they should not hesitate to copyright them, if they wish).
In the design stages of a product, a company could conduct its own patent search to determine if any similar techniques already exist, but this is costly, time-consuming and frequently unreliable. However, if one is facing litigation or other threats from patent-holders or their agents, a "prior art" search may turn up evidence that could challenge the validity of the patent in question.
Of course, opinions about how to react vary with individuals and firms. Some might choose to praise and patronize companies that have voiced opposition to software patents, such as Adobe, Autodesk and Oracle. Conversely, they may also choose to petition or not patronize companies that patent software as a matter of policy; top software patent holders include AT&T, DEC, Hitachi, IBM, Sharp, Toshiba and Xerox.
The real problem, of course, is PTO policy, which probably will require a legislative remedy. Completely exempting software from patent coverage is one option; other proposals include shortening the span of time that software patents may apply and providing for mandatory licensing. It might seem naive to ponder the prospect of getting any such legislation through Congress, but the economy is one thing that politicians seem to react to. While a handful of large corporations may be defending software patents, a league of small and medium-size firms actively opposing them would be a substantial political force.
The primary organizational resource in the protection from and opposition to software patents is the League for Programming Freedom (LPF) in Cambridge, MA; opposing software patents is a primary reason that the LPF was founded. It acts as a focal point for lobbying, as well as a resource for individuals and firms being directly threatened by patents. One of the best ways for corporations and individuals to help out is to join LPF and propagate its materials. For further information, send e-mail to
. The LPF Web site is
, and its FTP site can found at prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory /pub/lpf.
Let's act now to protect our companies, our own careers and software innovation itself.

Nightly Insurgence
November 19, 2008
Fighting the urge to fly into the night
Tears are dying in these eyes of mine
Crying without a reason to fight
These days are not evern worth my time
Leave me to fight the tears that will to break free
Looking for a reason to hold on
When everythin around me crumbles
Seeking remorse for curses undone
When nothing in life really matters
Hold onto the cursed walls that crumbles around me
Hanging by a thread of silk
The lines are about to break
Willing me to blot my ink
Blood red with painful ache
Break this thread of life, let me die
Hurting with thorns at my side
The mirth is twisted and unkind
Dying inside I lay by , I abide
Forsake me against this unwind
Pain me with anger you cant deny
November 11, 2008
Why do you always think
I'm nothing but a victim
A victim of circumstances
Hurting, longing for everything
Of the love I cherish dear
You think me stupid
You think me foolish
Foolish enough to bite the feeling
To the tears longing to break through
Flowing down these cheeks of mine
I'll be waiting for you to come
And then I'll say……
Why…. do …. you….
You scorn me….
Scorn my love its fleeing
You loathe me…
Loathe my spirit its freeing
Scorn me, Loathe me
As I feel this pain as I lay dying…
I ask you why…
Why do you leave me
Feeling like I am nothing at all
All the times when I stood there
Standing, biting down the tear
Waiting for you to take me home
Home to a family,
Home yet not mine,
Mine to be the memory of a feeling
The joy in me all along who knew
That's been left behind in time
I'll be waiting for you to come
And then I'll say……
Why…. do …. you….
You scorn me….
Scorn my love its fleeing
You loathe me…
Loathe my spirit its freeing
Scorn me, Loathe me
As I feel this pain as I lay dying…
I ask you why…
Will you visit me as I lay down here,
The one who loves you today
Will you bring me flowers
The ones you threw away
Waiting here will I be…
Waiting till tonight breaks free
Tonight as I let my wings unwind
Break against the the wind I fly
A new hope a new dawn of life
And will you take my hand glide higher
As we reach the sun you set me free…
I'll be waiting for you to come to me
And then I'll say……
Why…. do …. you….
You scorn me….
Scorn my love its fleeing
You loathe me…
Loathe my spirit its freeing
Scorn me, Loathe me
As I feel this pain as I lay dying…
And I ask you why…
Falling onto the depths I wait for you
And then I'll say……
Why…. would…. you….
You save me….
Save my love its flying
You love me…
Love my spirit its freeing
Save me, Love me
As with this feeling I lay down
And I say goodbye
I say goodbye
The Celestial Dream of Amor
November 7, 2008
The Charismatic Feeling
Of a new born child
Weeping for deliverance
Weeping for love
Celestial Being awake
The resounding sense
Fleeing onto the skies
Fleeing onto the love
Dream a dream so pure
Of nothing but a moment
Stealing memories gone
Stealing memories of love
With this thought I rest
Awake and nothing more
A Celestial Dream of love and sun
Where lovers doth not reconcile amor
Rising Demons
November 6, 2008
The brittle bone of manly ways
Peaks through the cleft of time,
Cadaver, but not yet free
Free, of the claws that bind me
To the cackle of a mirth
Resounding off the walls
The quirks of a madman nearby
Cadenced to the bloody ears
That flows forth through thine
Cosmic as a ray of lligjt
Nothing can change
The fate to come
Written has it been
On the crescent of the Sun
A Sinner's Deliverance
November 6, 2008
A break in normality and chaos
A prefix to the undeniable
Another questionable facade
Another means to an end
A break in formality and sense
A prefix to the unspeakable
Another incorrigible desire
Another change in the sun
A while against a sinner
A prefix to the unimaginable
Another unforeseeable deed
Another redemption lays nigh
Stolen Heart
November 4, 2008
You stole my heart with every gaze
You dazzled me with vibrance on a summery day
You made me smile when none could make me but cry
You made sure I always felt this alive
You couldn't speak words of comfort in your quay
You did so with a nuzzles and a little whine per say
You not only made me smile when good was bad
You were the one who made everything sound like May
You made the summer and winter sound so gay
You were the shining light in every night
You were the one who I loved dearly beyond dismay
You were the one who stole my heart now stay
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart please do stay
You have stolen my heart please don't go away

Target is killing it lately with their launching of new brands. (In last week's post, we revealed the retailer is launching 12 new brands in the course of two years.) One in particular? Their home decor line, Project 62—"a modern home brand thoughtfully designed for everyday life" (www.corporate.target.com).
The new line hits stores September 19th (online September 16th); however, I've found a few sneak peek items we can lust after right now:
Pillows with all the texture and pattern for just under $35. I mean, come on. The easiest way to upgrade a room is, after all, with pillows. In the past, Target's pillows have seemed a bit juvinelle (in MHO); however, Project 62 boasts of modern designs and textures that up the pillow game from kid to adult.
Starting at just $5, the home decor section appears just as on-trend as some of Target's most recent items. I spy-with-my-little-eye rustic vases, clean bronze accents, watercolored artwork, and sleek marble pieces that resemble West Elm and CB2, but at a fraction of the price.
With fall and holidays arriving soon, your serveware may need a refresh. Or two. Starting at only $7.99, you'll be able to do just that and more. From marble and wooden cheese boards to metallic barware and utensils, Project 62 will have you filling your cart to the brim.
Specifically? Two-way duvets for under $70. "Flip it inside out for a whole new look, while a zipper keeps the insert from peeking out." One word. Genius. As is their sheets and throw blankets in "fresh colors and luxe textures" (www.target.com).
From office spaces and living rooms to bedrooms and bathrooms, Project 62 is introducing "modern pieces made for everyday living." Accent chairs (like the slipper chair in blush for only $129.99); accent tables (metallic and fits in a small space? Yes and yes!); ottomans (loving the plush grey one that'll double as a stool); lighting (statement pieces starting at just $19.99). You name it, they have it—on-trend, beautifully designed, and extremely affordable.
Get your baskets ready—either online September 16th or in stores September 19th—for Project 62's home decor launch!
Plumbid – a new and innovative way to market and sell your home!
Thanks for reading about Target's soon-to-launch home decor!Would you consider a way to get 12% or more over asking price for your home? We recently sold a private view home for that amount over the list price because of the Plumbid bidding process. And buyers were solid — fully qualified and informed about the property before they could bid. Check here, or call or text the deFazios for more information at 626-825-9955.
And, if you are moving to Pasadena, we can help you. With more than 50 years of combined experience, we know the territory and can find the best property for you.

text: Cushies Travel Potty Seat -- There's not really much to say about this great product: this compact potty seat folds down nicely, washes easily and comes with its own drawstring carry bag. It fits well on most toilet seats and doesn't move around much once in place. A must-have in you've got a "wee" one learning the ins and outs of potty training while you're on the move! (Also acts as a great buffer between those soft tushies and the cesspool of a public washroom.) 4/5

World's ending, enough time to read this?
What will happen today on the last day of the world (21st)? Will some giant asteroid hit the Earth? Will massive tsunamis ravage all the coast lines? Will climate suddenly be way to warm for life? Will methane bubble out of the oceans and asphyxiate everybody? Or are aliens going to take over our planet?
We could spend a long time discussing the causes (or not !) of the end of the world. However people usually ignore the timing of this type of inevitable (or not !!) catastrophe. We all have in mind the asteroid that Alvarez and his fellows discovered – the one that wiped out in a blink of an eye the ferocious Mr. T-Rex. But what people tend to ignore/forget is the timing of such events…
When studying the history of life, the timing and the scale of the timing is always very important! Did the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs? If we could watch the impact of this asteroid, would we see a herd of Triceratops peacefully grazing on the ground and then, in a blink of an eye… Nothing ?! Same for the even more massive end-Permian event, would we have seen the trilobites bubbling in the sea and then the day after a desolated planet? No.
As this biological crisis appears really swift and savage in the fossil record, it does not mean that they were quick in reality. The fossil record is a random and imperfect record of time. What might look as quick as a blink of an eye could also be something as smooth and long as several million years !
As a French guy, I'm not putting the Catastrophism vs. Uniformitarianism debate back on the table. Obviously these crises were real, loads of species disappeared and in a small amount of time. But a small amount of time relative to the fossil record, not according to the Mayan calendar !
So I'll say no worries, if the Mayans were right we still will have time to enjoy Christmas turkey as well as the next couple of million years to go !

- It is important to remember that expansions don't die of old age
- Overall, the Fed plans to continue with their gradualist approach to raising interest rates to bring them back to a "normal range"
- The Fed is not concerned with inflation getting out of control
- The unemployment rate fell in May to 3.8%, the lowest level since December 2000
The U.S. economy has come a long way since the Great Recession ended nine years ago this June, and all things considered, we think the expansion is looking pretty good for its age. At a point where all but one prior post-war expansion had already succumbed to a recessionary downturn (Figure 1), economic fundamentals remain encouragingly solid. More Americans are working today than ever before, consumer balance sheets are healthy, housing continues to steadily improve, and despite the recent pullback, many asset prices have appreciated to record highs. Indeed, businesses and households are more optimistic about the future than they have been for years.
Not only do most indicators suggest economic fundamentals remain strong, but expectations are that U.S. GDP growth will pick up in coming months as tax savings start to add up for households and as higher government spending begins to filter through the economy. Of course, no expansion lasts forever, and our sense is that we are now in the later stages of this one. Still, it is important to remember that expansions don't die of old age. Rather, they are usually ended by a combination of rising imbalances and significant central bank tightening.
Much of the expansion's durability can be explained by its relative weakness historically, particularly given the extent of the prior downturn. Instead of robust growth, aggressive borrowing, and rising inflation, we have had almost the opposite conditions: modest growth, a restrained pace of borrowing, and low inflation.
For the most part, the private sector has not overindulged and given rise to the overheating pressures that have historically prompted an aggressive and ultimately recession-inducing tightening by the Fed. Even today, though wages are finally beginning to improve, classic factors such as comparatively low energy costs and commodity prices have combined with changing demographics, global competition, and newer, technology-driven developments to keep inflation under wraps. Meanwhile, investment, both housing and capex, is increasing, but remains low historically relative to GDP.
As a result, interest rates are not being pushed higher as they were in past cycles. In fact, the Fed would prefer higher inflation, and it's likely policymakers will be inclined to let the economy run a little hotter than necessary, rather than risk tightening financial conditions too fast and ending the expansion prematurely.
Recessions most often tend to unfold when the cost of doing business and managing debt becomes punitive. No question, rates are now rising, and at some point, increases will undermine production and consumption. But for now, credit generally remains widely available, and interest expense is not a restraint on spending or investment.
In recent months, economists have been scanning the horizon for potential areas where vulnerabilities may be building another crisis, identifying everything from subprime auto loans to rising corporate debt as potential risks. Though risks have increased in sub-sectors of household and corporate credit, so far they remain relatively small and insulated from the broader economy.
Indeed, after years of deleveraging and firming income prospects, the household sector appears well equipped for higher interest rates. And while corporate overall debt may have returned to Great Recession levels, excessive debt has not. S&P estimates that 27% of U.S. corporate debt is from "highly leveraged" companies, compared with 42% in 2007.
It also helps that Corporate America is minting money right now, aided by strong U.S. and global demand as well as the recent tax overhaul that has created a huge windfall for many companies. Strengthening earnings growth should help minimize any modest uptick in borrowing costs, while tax savings, as well as repatriated foreign profits, can help to pay down debt.
With continued dysfunction in Washington, heightened trade tensions, and negative developments in Europe, the recent nervousness among investors is understandable. Further policy uncertainties are likely to prevail over the near term and may remain a weight on market sentiment. But bear markets outside recessions are rare, and there continues to be little reason to doubt the ongoing modest U.S. expansion. Despite nine years of uninterrupted growth, few serious cracks in the economic foundation have developed, and given the general lack of excess in the economy, we would not be surprised to see it continue for some time longer.
In the minutes from the recent meeting of the FOMC, the group within the Fed that determines monetary policy, the FOMC signaled its intentions to raise the federal funds rate at the June 13 meeting. This increase would mark the second of three planned hikes for this year. Assuming a 25 bps hike, which has been the trend in this tightening cycle, the median funds rate would increase to 1.875%.
Most of the policymakers believe that the recent boost in fiscal policy will push the economy up in the near term. Following this, they expect the economy to move back down toward a trend growth rate range of 2.0% to 2.4% (Figure 2). They also commented that a trade war is a threat to growth prospects. Some policymakers mentioned concerns from regional business contacts about the possible adverse effects from tariffs and trade restrictions.
Overall, the Fed plans to continue with its gradualist approach to raising interest rates to bring them back to a "normal range." It has no plans to raise them to a level that would be restrictive.
The domestic labor market is in a very strong position. The unemployment rate fell in May to 3.8%, the lowest level since December 2000. Back then, it stayed below 4.0% for just five
months. The last time this rate stayed below 4.0% for a sustained period was in the late 1960s (Figure 3). Looking forward, the Fed expects the unemployment rate to stay below 4.0% for the next couple of years.
May gains in non-farm payrolls had an increase of 223,000. So far this year, job gains have been stronger than the previous two years (2018 YTD job gains have had an average monthly increase of 207,000, slightly ahead of the 2017 monthly average of 182,000 and the 2016 monthly average of 195,000).
With such a low unemployment rate, there are fewer applicants for each job opening. In February, the most recent data collected indicates that there were 1.1 unemployed persons for every job opening. That is down from 6.7 back in July 2009, a month after the end of the Great Recession. This move gives the advantage to job hunters searching for a job, allowing for a stronger bargaining position for workers, especially in regard to pay. It also increases the opportunities for those on the margin (less educated, disabled, and ex-offenders).
Following a rapid increase in inflation in Q1, during which the three-month annualized rate of growth peaked at 3.1% in February – the highest rate in about 12 years – core CPI has started to taper (Figure 4). It has been brought down primarily by vehicle prices, as demand has fallen following the post-hurricane surge of Q4 of last year. Despite these facts, the yearly change in core CPI continues on an upward trajectory as the low prices of last year in some sectors (e.g., mobile phone plans, some medical expenses) are rolling off the yearly calculations, lifting the overall rate.
Most members of the FOMC, the monetary policy arm of the Federal Reserve, expect inflation to surpass the Fed's 2.0% target for a short period of time, driven by the increase in oil prices. Once they stabilize, some of the policy members believe inflation will settle back around 2.0%, while others believe it will fall back below the 2.0% level. The important issue here is that the Fed is not concerned with inflation getting out of control.
Households have ramped up their spending this spring following a winter of severe weather that kept many shoppers at home (Figure 5). Most important, higher gasoline prices don't appear to be affecting consumer spending. This is welcoming news, especially since consumer spending rose only a tepid 1.1% in Q1, the smallest quarterly increase since June 2013.
This rebound plays a big role in economic forecasters' projections of Q2 GDP growth. Since consumption makes up more than two-thirds of GDP, the higher growth rate this quarter is expected to help propel Q2 GDP growth above 3.0%; it was just 2.2% in Q1.
The underlying economic fundamentals continue to point toward continued growth in consumption. Employment gains are continuing at a stronger pace than the previous two years, wages are gradually firming, inflation continues to remain modest, and confidence continues on its upward trajectory.
