Tech Tips for Non-Tech People!
Original Air Date: Sep 19, 2013
Creating Infographics
Download the MP3
It's time for another Data Doctors Tech Tip
A visual representation of complex data is more likely to be understood and absorbed which is why something known as the infographic is so popular these days
Let's face it, when you're trying to present complex information in a digestible and clear way, a spreadsheet just isn't going to cut it.
You've seen infographics on news and research sites for years now, but you've probably assumed that it's something only a graphic artist can produce easily.
But the Data Doctors have found a place where you can create your own infographics easily at a site called Easel.ly
You simply grab a template, drag and drop objects, add text, upload your own images and the next thing you know, that boring report will come to life.
There's nothing to fear but fear itself and did we mention that it's free?
Infographics, they're not just for hipster graphic artists anymore!

Those 1 million iPhone GSs sold last weekend represent a "remarkable achievement," writes RBC Capital's Mike Abramsky in a note to clients issued early Tuesday, especially considering the new iPhone's relatively narrow international distribution (8 countries vs. 21 last year).
But according to Abramsky, it's the old iPhone 3G — newly priced at $99 — not the new 3GS, that will drive global sales this fiscal year.
Abramsky expects Apple to sell 20 million iPhones in fiscal 2009, 64.5% of them the older 3G models. By his estimates the new 3GS won't dominate sales until fiscal 2010, when he expects Apple to sell 30 million iPhones, roughly 60% of them 3GSs. See chart and spreadsheet below.
On Monday, Apple announced that it sold 1 million iPhones 3GSs in three days of sales. The company has not released the number of iPhones 3Gs sold since that device's price was lowered to $99 from $199 on June 8.

Hi hi.. hello! Have I MISSED blogging.. So SO sorry for the absence. No excuses here but my laptop DID get stolen.. *eyeroll*
& to follow with that I have been seriously taking it easy post fashion week- especially because I got a little sick. Nothing better than laying in bed & drinking some hot bone broth with rice noodles & broccoli. And if I have a sweet tooth, I reach for sliced granny smith apples with cinnamon & almond butter- YUM!
But not going to lie.. I feel like I've had a cheat WEEK! No seriously. I'm back on my DETOX. I moved apartments (helloooo midtown & goodbye Brooklyn!!) and I'm right near a Speedy's with the BEST chocolate chip cookies. It's SO dangerous! & I hit the gym maybe 2-3 times?! YIKES.
But guys- I'm coming back strong with a new set of goals, plans & a vision board. If I'm ever de-motivated I just take a lot of time & see where I need to shift in my life. & I noticed myself getting a little… bored.
I also decided to spend my first fall weekend visiting family in PA, & seeing old friends. & central PA has given me SO MUCH reading time!! And nature & my parents have a hottub out back.. so I have just been recharging. Need to come out here more often!
Anyways.. I have a lot of posts up my sleeve, but how have you guys been?! I've missed you!

Video: Fox News Gets A Lesson On Civility, Economics From Ford CEO
Fox News, purveyors of half-truths and hysteria, has been on an anti-GM crusade ever since the Bush-and-Obama-backed auto bailouts. Their favorite target is without a doubt the Chevy Volt, a car that has been subject to withering, and often false criticisms. But in a recent interview with Ford CEO Alan Mulally, Fox News host Neil Cavuto tried (and failed) to get Mulally to diss the Volt.
Instead, Mulally told Cavuto that without the auto bailouts, the entire auto industry would have been in "real trouble."Read more

I'm apparently on the other side of an invisible divide that runs through the OSR and, perhaps, the gaming community in general. Most of the old school renaissance strays to the Picaresque when it comes to worldbuilding, a fact highlighted by the enormously enlightening Tom Fitzgerald at Middenmurk. If there is one blogger I aspire to be, it is Mr. Fitzgerald, who routinely posts extremely well-researched and enlightening topics and allows filler to clog his writing as, unfortunately, I sometimes do here.
The so-called "full build" stands in stark contrast to the Vancian partial build. I love the work of many pulp authors who create a universe only large enough to support the story and the characters in it. The successful ones manage to hint at a world beyond the borders without actually fleshing it out. But that's not the kind of man (or DM) I am. Having taken Tolkien into my lifesblood so early, my work in both roleplaying games and in writing has been to overprepare. The world itself is not easily reducible to its appearances, so (my logic dictates) I am required by the law of verisimilitude to know as much as I need to in order to sufficiently prepare all eventualities. This means I do not fly blind into design, but rather prepare things in layered stages so that the final work is really only a surface encrustation of all the work that's come before.
This strikes at the root of arbitrariness. It requires a superhuman amount of preparation, as well, which is not always for the good. For example, my games would never need to halt for lack of notes on a region if I were content with creating the regional details on the fly. Returning to the Tolkiensien task of building from some deep subterranean level upwards, this has not been my style since I was very young. I must know not only the terrain I'm dealing with, but its deep history as well.
What does this mean for my games and my settings? How does the full build stand apart from the Picaresque approach to worldbuilding? I must first set aside the thoughts that my games are "high" fantasy in any sense, or that epic stories concerning the fate of the world are the norm. No, indeed. The gameplay is much more picaresque than the building. Tales grow organically as various eventualities emerge. The story of the players is much less the narrative construct of a grand novel and much more the collation of various shorts and slices-of-life.
But the building... what benefit can there be for a single group of players (more or less) to a statically developed setting? Here, then, are the benefits as I see them. In contrast to the vast audience posited by Tom at Middenmurk, my own full build setting has rarely been used by DMs other than myself. True, there are times when others have taken the setting in hand and run games... but those times are rare, the exception and not the rule.
Secrecy. The first power of the full build is that of secrets. This, of course, requires the DM and designer to maintain a firm grip on his own tendency (or her own, as the case may be) to run his mouth and reveal things. Secrets are encrusted into the very heart of the setting when it is built up in layers. Their effects can be seen, but not necessarily predicted, by characters (and players) observing the surface layer. These secrets move things, motivate them, and push them for years of game time when used properly. In many cases, things you don't even think or intend to be secret serve as motivating secrets. Many are simply pieces of history that are lost to time or where not otherwise recorded.
The presence of buried carbuncles of secrecy like this can provide a similar (though not the same) drive toward endless newness experienced in the picaresque view.
Consistency. Consistency is the bigger of the two benefits. Under consistency, the same group of players will find that their character's actions have long-term and game-to-game effects on the setting. Retiring a slew of characters introduces a slew of new NPCs into the political life of the setting. Destroying kingdoms, founding empires, and slaying important folks all has a direct effect on the games of the future. This, I find, is one of the greatest rewards for the full build. Consistency of setting means that you and your players build together a future-history that they have a vested interest in, and delight in returning to.
Dealing with the Problem of "growing used to" the setting. The biggest problem with this, of course, is the end of the reveal. The cysts of secrecy that inhabit the deepest layers of the setting cannot provide the endless newness of a fresh Vance-style reveal. New cities don't generally exist just beyond the horizon. Players know that using acid on trolls kills them. What do to with this?
The way I deal with it is thusly: metaknowledge of that nature incorporates itself into the general knowledge-base available to all communities in the game. Most folks in the 10th Age know, for example, that acid kills trolls. Why? Because every player knows that. It would be asking an unrealistic feat of mental gymnastics for them to pretend they don't. This makes sense in a setting like this, where adventuring is a recognized phenomenon.
In conclusion: I fall outside the OSR's normative model. I knew that already as a proponent of 2e. I have my own model, and it has served me well. Perhaps it will serve others, though there is a requirement of intense dedication to the craft of writing notes that will literally never be seen. Maybe that's a waste. Maybe not.

With the recent release of Visceral Game's Dead Space 3, many fans felt disappointed with the change in direction that the developers took. What was once a franchise that focused heavily on the horror aspect of the game, has transformed into a franchise that has shifted into focusing more on the action aspect.
The decision to shift towards this style of game was made mainly due to the financial aspect of business. The game developers decided that if they made Dead Space 3 have a lot of action in the game, even at the expense of the horror elements, the game would sell more copies and overall be more successful than if they had just focused entirely on the survival horror aspect. What does this mean for the survival horror games as a whole is up for debate.
Many people need to realize that the survival horror genre has a relatively small fan base when compared to other genres of gaming. Developers have realized that if they want to make a game with survival horror elements they can capture the attention of this small niche of gamers. At the same time, developers can make a game with horror elements, but also have the game contain and even focus more on another more popular genre.

Planning camping trips is one of the most interesting activities to do in summers. However, it is important to make all the important lists and take the necessary precautions before going. Considering that summers is the season for mosquitoes, one must also plan ways to avoid mosquito bites during the trip. Below is a list of things one can do.
1. Wear long sleeves
To stay safe it is important to cover your skin. Therefore, you should always pack a lot of long sleeve shirts. Although mosquitoes can still reach your skin even through a layer of tight clothing, you can still prevent this by opting for more loose clothing.
2. Choose light colors
No matter how much you love blacks and dark blues, you must choose light colored clothing if you want the mosquitoes to stay away from you. You must wear light colors for two main reasons. Firstly, mosquitoes find it hard to see them and secondly, it is also easier to spot bugs or mosquitoes on a light colored shirt such as baby blue as compared to a dark colored one like black.
3. Use a Mosquito Repellent
It is an easy way to repel mosquitoes. Instead of getting any mosquitos repellent choose one which has more than 20 percent DEET. Also make sure that you don't spray it in your eyes or mouth, and wash it off later on.
Therefore, next time along with planning your camping equipment hire, also take all the necessary steps to be safe from mosquito bites.

When does something become a 'civil war'? When the media say so? Or should there be some sort of definition.
One of the many offered by Wikipedia is that total deaths need to exceed 1,000, with at least 100 killed on each side. That seems rather all encompassing to me. Gang warfare exceeds that in a great many countries. Is it fair to say the FBI is engaged in a 'civil war' with organised crime?
Is Northern Ireland in a state of 'civil war'? Was it, from 1968 until the 1990s? I visited the province more than once, including, as a child, at the height of the violence in 1972. It did not strike me as a place in civil war. It was not somewhere a mother would hesitate to take her son.
I would suggest that one of the two criteria that follow needs to be met.
First, if substantial areas are under the control of a separate government. That, arguably, did apply in Northern Ireland in the early seventies. Certainly there were estates in Belfast and Londonderry that were not only dangerous for the police and army, but had actual checkpoints in and out. It is not enough, however, merely to say that there are some areas not under the control of the government. That applies in Paris every summer. An organised alternative military force is necessary.
Second, if political killings rise to a level that exceeds the ordinary murder rate for the territory in question, that could count as an insurgent civil war. No-one thinks that spousal abuse represents civil war between men and women, or that streetcrime is a civil war. But if deaths from political, ethnic and sectarian killings rise to the point where they exceed deaths from ordinary crime, perhaps that does meet the criterion.
On that basis, Iraq is nowhere near a civil war. Deaths from political violence in December were around 500 and from ordinary civilian murder around six times that.
No civil war here. Nothing to see. Move on now.

Whale Watching Packages in Carmel, CA
California is one of the only places in the world where visitors can see whales year-round, and there's no better place for whale watching than Monterey. Whale watching in Monterey Bay is the marine equivalent of going on a safari in Africa. The diversity on the Monterey Bay is pretty amazing.
In addition to the whales that migrate seasonally through the area, such as humpbacks, blue whales and gray whales, many other whale species are visible throughout the year and can often be seen offshore with the naked eye.
We have partnered with Monterey Bay Whale Watch, the only marine biologist owned cruise, to offer Whale Watching Packages. Monterey Bay Whale Watch offers year-round whale watching trips to observe the spectacular diversity and abundance of whales and dolphins inhabiting the Bay.

A New
with Men
I Know I Love My Wife!
Whenever a man gets to this question it is
usually the beginning of the end. Either the
relationship will end or the relationship will have
to change. This question means that there are
unresolved issues that have not been addressed and
the man is preparing himself for either one of two
As the movie progresses the man is faced with
some very difficult choices. Ultimately he finds
the answer to his question and then chooses a path
that works best for him. I dont want to give
the plot away but the movie made me start thinking
and asking questions.
For example: Why is it that when we get married
our relationships become more and more difficult?
Why do most people have less sex after they get
married? Why do we even get married in the first
place? Isnt it more fun to be single? Why do
we say were in love, get married and then
fall out of love? And last but not least, how do we
know when we are truly in love? What exactly is
love any way?
These are questions that I have been asking
myself for the past twenty years. And although I do
not claim to have all the answers I have been able
to answer them for myself and as a result I now
have a marriage that really works for me. Although
my marriage may not be perfect, it is perfect in
its imperfection and I will admit that I
absolutely love being married. Ill take the
married life over the single life any day.
So I wanted to take this opportunity and share
Michael Taylors five ways to know if you
really love your wife or spouse or girlfriend.
These are five ways that I confirm that I love my
wife and that I am happily married. Try them out
and see if they work for you.
These are my five keys to knowing if you truly
are in love with your wife. What do you think? Do
you agree or disagree? Drop me an email and let me
hear your comments.

dedicated his life to empowering men (and women) to
reach their full potential. He does not consider
himself to be an expert or guru. He does consider
himself to be extremely knowledgeable in the field
of personal growth and development. The fact is, he
is an ordinary guy that made a commitment to live
an extraordinary life and he wants to challenge you

by Leighton Gage
Soho , January 2010
274 pages
Leighton Gage has created a criminal profile of Brazil in his Chief Inspector Mario Silva series, portraying a nation that is beset by corruption, greed, extreme poverty, and violence. In the third volume of the series, following BLOOD OF THE WICKED and BURIED STRANGERS, Chief Inspector Mario Silva of the federal police is instructed by his boss to search for a missing girl. It's not a federal case, but the girl happens to be the granddaughter of a politician who holds the purse strings for the department's budget. Though the investigation begins with a political favor, Silva is an honest cop, and he has assembled a small team of men with integrity who can help him tackle a case that will inevitably be hampered by local police who serve themselves and protect criminals.
The reader is privy to much more information about the missing girl than are the investigators. The book opens in Amsterdam, where a train explosion has spread mail across the landscape like tattered confetti. A dutiful postal official, trying to trace the origin of a DVD, is sickened when he realizes he's watching a snuff film. As Dutch officials launch an investigation into the film's Brazilian source, we learn that Marta, the missing girl, has fallen into the hands of a ruthless prostitution ring whose leaders scoff at her claims that she's the daughter of an important man. To them, she's just another runaway, and a virgin at that. She'll be worth a lot to a discerning customer—but when she puts up fierce resistance, they change their plans.
Gage creates vivid characters, from a priest who stands up against corruption and lives in poverty, his only luxury a local liquor made from sugarcane, to the Goat, a pimp who was raised by prostitutes in a shack on stilts over polluted sludge where the poor of Manaus live. Though the portrait of the capital of Amazonas State is vivid, Gage's Brazil is not a nice place to visit, let alone to live in. Though they don't offer a promising destination for those looking for escapist entertainment, there's a brutal integrity to these stories, coupled with compelling plots and a protagonist who believes in justice and does his best against hopeless odds.
Soho is to be commended for taking an independent course in an industry too prone to take the road most traveled. In addition to publishing literary fiction - Haitian author Edwidge Danticat was one of their notable discoveries – their distinctive line of mysteries expand readers' knowledge of the world. The founder of Soho Press, Laura Chapman Hruska, died this January, just as this book was hitting the shelves. Crime fiction readers owe her a debt of gratitude for starting a publishing house that continues to broaden our horizons.

2017 Western Amateur Preview
Known as the "Masters" of amateur golf, the Western Amateur kicks off this week. This year's tournament is taking place at the historic Skokie Country Club. With the Walker Cup looming, the field is one of the best in history. 63 of the top 100 amateurs in the WAGR made it to Chicago and will look to win the most prestigious amateur golf title. Past winners of the Western Amateur include the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Ben Crenshaw, and Curtis Strange.
DJ D-Funk hits mainstream radio
Heading into last year's Western, Illinois' Dylan Meyer was known only for his finger wags at the NCAA Championship. Then, Meyer was able to work his way to the finals and dispatch of heavy-favorite Sam Horsfield. The Western Amateur win kickstarted a brilliant run of golf from Meyer. A week later he made a quarterfinal run at the U.S. Amateur. He followed up the strong summer by becoming one of the country's top collegiate players. Meyer won three times as a Junior, First Team All-American honors and was a Hogan Award finalist.
The Course
One of Chicago's and the country's oldest courses, Skokie Country Club, will test the world's best ams. Skokie was founded in 1897 and has gone through numerous iterations. The two most significant ones coming from Donald Ross in 1914 and Langford & Moreau's revamp in 1938. Langford & Moreau infused their bold green complexes and contours which serve as Skokie's main line of defense. This week, the conditions are near perfect with firm greens and lengthy rough. It will place a premium on hitting fairways and attacking when given the opportunity. The par 5's are scorable but the par 3's are a brute with two of the four measuring 230+ yards.
Storylines to watch
The Walker Cup
Captain Spider Miller will announce the Walker Cup team following the mid-August U.S. Amateur. With only a few weeks left to impress Miller, all the top Americans will be at Skokie this week. There are only ten spots on the Walker Cup team and competition is fierce. While not official, there are a few players who are expected to get the nod, which include former number 1 ranked Maverick McNealy, NCAA individual champion Braden Thornberry and U.S. Mid Amateur champion Stewart Hagestad.
Back to back?
Dylan Meyer will look to become the first player since Justin Leonard to win back to back Western Amateur titles. Leonard did so, winning the '92-'93 titles at Point O' Woods. Skokie CC sets up well for Meyer, who thrives on layouts that call for precision and shotmaking.
The mid-ams
It's been a number of years since a mid-amateur made the round of 16 at the Western Am. Last year, Andrew Price and Todd Mitchell were close to making it. Price finished two outside the number while Mitchell entered the final round in t5th. Both Price and Mitchell return this year and are joined by Stewart Hagestad, Garrett Rank and Charlie Waddell. Skokie's setup should help the experienced player, and I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of these names make the round of 16.
Players to watch
Here are a few other names to keep an eye on this week.
Cameron Champ - The Texas A&M star impressed at the U.S. Open, finishing t32nd despite a poor final round. Since then, Champ has been the best amateur in the country winning the Trans-Miss and finishing runner up at the Pacific Coast Amateur.
Braden Thornberry - The NCAA Individual champion and Haskins Award winner turned heads with his t4th at the PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Classic. On the amateur circuit, Thornberry found the winner's circle at this year's Sunnehanna.
Joaquin Niemann - The world's top ranked amateur will look to improve on last year's round of 16 appearance. The 18-year-old Chilean finished an impressive t29th at the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic. His strong finish fueled rumors that he might bypass his committment to play college golf at USF, opting for pro golf.
Collin Morikawa - The soon to be Junior at Cal has had a stellar summer amateur season. Morikawa won the Northeast Amateur and finished runner-up at the Sunnehanna and notched a third place finish at the Trans-Miss. Morikawa's name might be familiar as last year he lost in a playoff at the Web Tour's Air Capital Classic.
Nick Hardy - The Illinois star and nearby Northbrook native made the PGA Tour's John Deere Classic. On the amateur circuit, Hardy played on this year's Palmer Cup team and notched top ten's at the Pacific Coast Am and Northeast Am. Hardy has had a great deal of success at the Western Amateur, making match play in two of the last three editions.
Sam Burns - The LSU star most recently finished t6th in the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship. Burns had a standout Sophomore campaign at LSU earning 1st Team All-American honors.
Doug Ghim - Another Illinois native, Ghim is fresh off a win at the Pacific Coast Amateur. Ghim plays his college golf at Texas and has a strong all-around game which should suit Skokie C.C. well. Ghim has made match play in two of the past three Western Amateurs.

Lorenzo de' Medici died on his estate at Careggi; and it was said that when he heard the news of the effects of the thunderbolt, being so ill, he asked where it had fallen, and on which side; and when he was told, he said: "Alas! I shall die, because it fell towards my house." This may not have been so, but it was commonly reported.
And they brought him to Florence the same night, at 5 in the morning (1 a.m.), and put him in the monastery at San Marco; and he remained there the whole of the next day, which was a Monday. And on the 10th April, Tuesday, he was buried at San Lorenzo at about 20 in the evening (4.pm.). Well may we consider what a transitory thing is human life! This man, in the eyes of the world, was the most illustrious, the richest, the most stately, and the most renowned among men. Everyone declared that he ruled Italy; and in very truth he was possessed of great wisdom, and all his undertakings prospered. He had succeeded in doing what no citizen had been able to do for a long time: namely, in getting his son appointed cardinal; which was not only an honour for his house, but for the whole city. In spite of all this, however, he could not live one hour longer when the end came. Then, O man, man, what hast thou to be proud of? True humility is the fit human attribute, and each time that we grow proud, and esteem ourselves above others, failing to recognise that every spiritual, corporal and temporal good comes from God, we exceed the proper limits of humanity. Everything that exceeds its limit is evil, and those things which should be good, turn to ill. The desirable quality for man is true gentleness and humility, and always to esteem God. Man is naught, if not what God has made him; to whom be praise from all creatures, as is His due. May He pardon me my sins! And may He pardon the sins of the dead man, as I trust He may pardon me and all human beings!

p34 From Bologna. To Lodovico di Lionardo di Buonarrotta Simoni, in Florence. The 8th day of February, 1506 (1507).
Most Revered Father, — I have to-day received a letter from you, from which I learn that Lapo and Lodovico have been talking to you. I am content that you should rebuke me, because I deserve to be rebuked as a wretch and a transgressor quite as much as anyone else, and perhaps more. But you must understand that I have not transgressed in any wise in the matter for which you rebuke me, either against them or against anyone else, unless it be that I have done more than I ought. All the men with whom I have ever had dealings know very well what I give them ; and if anyone knows it, Lapo and Lodovico are the two who know it best of all, for in a month and a half one of them has had twenty-seven broad ducats and the other eighteen broad ducats, each with their expenses. Therefore I beg of you not to be carried away by their story. When they complained about me you ought to have asked how long they were with me and how much they had received from me then you would have had to ask them what cause they had for complaint. But the reason of their great anger, particularly of that rascal Lapo, is this they had given it out on all sides that they were the men who were doing this work, or rather, that they were in partnership with me ; and they never realised — Lapo in particular — that he was not the master until I sent him off. Only then did he understand that he was in my service ; and having already given p35 a great deal of trouble and caused the Pope's favour to show signs of declining, it appeared a strange thing to him that I should drive him away like a beast. I am sorry that he should still have seven ducats of mine, but when I return to Florence he shall most assuredly pay me back, though if he has any conscience he would also feel obliged to give me back the other money he has received. But enough. I shall say no more about it as I have written a sufficiently full account of their performances to Messer Agniolo (the Herald). I beg you to go to him, and if you can take Granaccio with you, do so, and let him read the letter I have written so that he may understand what abject creatures they are. But I beg of you to keep silent as to what I have written about Lodovico, for if I cannot find anyone else to come here and cast the metal I shall endeavour to get him back, because as a matter of fact I have not dismissed him ; only Lapo, who received more blame than he cared to support alone, lightened his own load by corrupting Lodovico. You will learn the whole matter from the Herald, and also how you are to act. Do not have any dealings with Lapo, for he is too great a scoundrel, and we have nothing to do with either of them.
With reference to Giovansimone, it does not seem to me advisable that he should come here, as the Pope is leaving during Carnival ; I believe he will visit Florence on the way, and he does not leave affairs here in good order. According to rumour, there is a want of confidence prevalent here which it is wise neither to inquire into nor to write about : but enough that, even if nothing were to happen — and I believe p36 nothing will — I do not want to have the care of brothers on my shoulders. Do not be surprised at this and do not breathe a word of it to anyone, because I have need of assistants, and I should find none willing to come if this were known. And besides, I still think things may turn out well. I shall soon be back in Florence and I will behave in such a manner as to satisfy Giovansimone and the others, if it please God ! To-morrow I will write you another letter with reference to certain moneys I wish to send to Florence, telling you what to do with them. I understand about Piero ; he will answer on my behalf, for he is a good fellow, as he has always been.
P.S. I have something else to add in reply to the curious behaviour Lapo attributes to me. I want to tell you one thing, and it is this. I bought seven hundred and twenty pounds of wax, and before I bought it I told Lapo to find out where it could be got, and to settle the price, saying that I would give him the money so that he could buy it. Lapo went, and came back again, and told me that it could not be got for a farthing less than nine broad ducats and twenty bolognini the hundred (pounds), which is equal to nine ducats forty soldi. He added that I ought to take the opportunity without delay because I had been very fortunate. I replied that he was to go and find out whether he could get the odd forty soldi per hundred knocked off and that I would then buy it. He answered that the Bolognesi were of such a nature that they would not abate one farthing of the price p37 they had asked. This raised my suspicions, and I let the matter drop. Later in the same day I called Piero aside and told him secretly to go and ask the price of the wax per hundred. Piero went to the same man as Lapo and bargained with him for eight and a half ducats, to which price I agreed, and afterwards I sent Piero to receive his commission, and he got that also. This is one of my strange performances. Of a truth I know it seemed strange to him that I was able to see through his deceit. It was not enough for him to receive eight broad ducats a month and his expenses, but in addition he tried to swindle me ; and he may have swindled me on many occasions of which I know nothing, for I trusted him. I have never met a man who appeared more honest, so I suppose his straightforward look must have misled many another person. Therefore do not trust him in anything, and pretend not to see him.
The Francesco Granaccio mentioned here was a painter and a fellow-student with Michelangelo in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio. He studied also with Michelangelo in the Medici Garden at San Marco.

IBM has announced a TotalStorage Productivity Center suite, which provides storage infrastructure management under new software called the TotalStorage Open Software Family.
On top of that, Big Blue has announced: Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM - Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management); Archive Management (Tivoli Storage Manager and Storage Manager for Data Retention); and Recovery Management (Tivoli Storage Manager).
These four storage functions "talk" to storage devices through a storage virtualisation layer, the company said. IBM has essentially combined its existing Tivoli storage management products with its storage virtualisation offerings, such as its SAN Volume Controller.
The Productivity Center suite, which includes a freely downloadable user interface, includes:
- Tivoli Storage Resource Manager
- Tivoli SAN Manager
- TotalStorage Multiple Device Manager (MDM)
IBM says the suite is modular but integrated. Brian Truskowski, general manager of storage software for IBM, said Productivity Center "centralises and also automates storage infrastructure management, reducing the need for human intervention."
EMC already has its ControlCenter storage management offering. Softek has its Storage Manager offering. So in a sense IBM is late to the integrated storage management party.
MDM is a new product. It enables storage administrators to configure storage devices from a single console, monitor their performance, provide replication facilities, and manage them. The performance monitoring can provide what IBM calls "best LUN recommendations".
There are two separately priced features - the Performance Manager and the Replication Manager. Each of these has common core Device Manager code. Performance Manager monitors I/O rates and cache utilisation. Replication Manager can automate source-to-target pairing and setup in replication operations.
Single offering
IBM now has a single storage management suite offering which can manage storage hardware, maintain storage networks and analyse performance metrics. Productivity Center uses workflow techniques to automate storage processes. IBM claims that the workflows "combine best practices with autonomic, sense-and-respond technologies to adapt to changing conditions" - which can be translated as policy-based storage management automation.
There are two IBM sub-brands involved with this: Tivoli on the storage management side and TotalStorage on the storage infrastructure side. It appears that the Tivoli branding is being downgraded as the umbrella framework is called the TotalStorage Open Software Family.
The openness comes from support for the SNIA's Storage Management Interface Specification (SMI-S), so software can manage compliant heterogenous storage hardware. For example, Productivity Center can track and monitor the performance of SMI-S-compliant storage devices in SANs. IBM products that are supported include Enterprise Storage Server (Shark) and FAStT.
The Archive Management function will address regulatory and legal compliance matters, as well as archiving e-mail and other data.
The HSM part is possibly the foundation for a future information lifecycle management offering. Without it, IBM appears to have a weaker offering than either EMC or StorageTek.
IBM's Productivity Center will be available in May with US pricing starting at $5,000 (£2,745).

Barrels of Oil Equivalent. Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil.

The story of Judas and Simon Peter
(a gnostic gospel)
The story of Judas and Simon Peter,
as seen by another disciple,
whom Jesus loved most of all..
The Paradise Garden
Judas dreamt while he dozed,
no longer could he sleep as he had once been able,
for he saw only with the eyes of this world:
18.1 He crossed the Kidron Valley,
the cleansing water,
into a garden, beautiful as paradise;
Jesus liked to go there with his disciples;
maybe this had once been the Garden of Eden,
at least he was there to remind them of the hours,
they had spent with him;
near heaven.
In the garden he is alone,
the unrest in His soul is growing
is mingled with pain,
what this could be,
he had no idea.
Is this all?
Is not his mission,
to spread the Word,
knowledge of God – gnosis,
divine understanding
of the soul's immortality,
his values of
truth, freedom and love?
14.21 Whoever has my commands,
and obeys them,
he is the one,
who loves me;
he who loves me,
will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him,
and show him:
10.34 Jesus: »Is it not written in you Law:
I have said you are gods.
10.35 Can the Scripture be broken by stones?
Can you refute that he has called you: gods;
those to whom the word of God has come,
those who hear it within themselves.
Will you shower all this with stones?
10.36 What about the one whom the Father set apart
as his very own and sent into the world?
Why do you accuse me of blasphemy
because I said: I am God's Son?
10.37 If I do not do what my Father does you believe me;
10.38 But if I do it you do not believe me.
If you do not believe me, at least believe the miracles:
and maybe you will see that the Father is in me and I in the Father.
Maybe you will see that I am here,
so that you may realise you are gods,
for God is in you, and you are in God.«
His spirit spoke unto him:
»You have been chosen Judas for a task more difficult;
you are stronger than the others in spirit,
in spirit you have stepped into my presence,
now the prince of this world will come into you.«
18.2 He had to go there,
18.3 what if he did not go?
That he could no longer do;
for Judas now had no free will,
now he was there with a mob,
carrying torches and lanterns,
and ordinary weapons;
hardly could it be said,
that he came with fire and sword, and
with light, which dispels the dark of night.
18.4 Jesus steps out towards them,
his voice thunders into the night:
»Who is it you want?«
18.5 They reply: »Jesus of Nazareth.«
He says: »I am he!«
18.6 But when he said this to them, they were so afraid,
that they drew back and fell to the ground;
Judas, his betrayer, fell with them.
Such power had his disciples not seen before,
for he had not shown it before. The night was still strong.
18.7 Again He asks them: »Who is it you want?«
They reply: »Jesus of Nazareth.«
18.8 »If you seek me, I am here;
then let these men go.«
This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled:
»I have not lost one of those you gave me.«
18.9 And Judas could then have left, and all his disciples too.
And two persons in Judas could then have left, but not the third. And
he could not leave, and they could not yet leave, for here was a greater drama;
this drama was from the Father. And he had to
lose one of them, he had to lose part of himself.
18.10 Simon Peter had one of the two swords,
which he drew and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his ear;
the servant's name was Malchus.
18.11 Then Jesus said to Peter: »Shall I not drink the cup
the Father has given me? Put your sword away!«
A cold wind blew, the march began; this was the march
of hatred, betrayal, contempt; everything that fills the human
soul; this was the spirit of the wind, which blows on earth when,
love, its symbol, is bound. It will infect all,
penetrating the souls of his disciples; but that is how it had to
be. The cold settled on those present.
The world chose Judas to be a symbol for the betrayal of God
(Simon Peter's betrayal was seen by no-one).
Judas handed Jesus over to the Jews
(he was a Jew and no-one wanted to see this).
He has been exculpating the world of its most ignoble deeds,
for over two thousand years, with revenge for the betrayal
(which it was not).
He was not the prince of this world – SELF-APPOINTED!
The scent of nard
fills him with dread,
has it begun,
He carried a purse, which hung from his neck,
so they had something to eat;
for their body
was he to lose his soul?
Why do they not see
the mission which
only Judas could fulfil?
Judas, the only one among them,
can not refer to it,
if he did, he would only be a traitor.
Did they then want,
Him not to die,
to stay alone
in this world?
They did not see,
how his soul thirsted
for eternal life.
They did not hear,
him call them to himself,
when he left them.
If they did hear,
they did not understand,
that now the verdict
of the world is such,
that the prince of this world
will be freed from his little shell,
thrown out of this world.
How could they understand,
that that is his mission:
when Judas stepped clean
before His spirit,
he saw him with spiritual eyes
and heard what would be done to him.
12.1 Those little signs, harbingers of important events,
which one usually does not see,
and if he sees them, only remembers them vaguely, remembers that
he he has already seen them, appeared to Him clearly, one after another.
12.2 The dinner with Lazarus was the first;
Martha served while Lazarus was among those
reclining at table with him; that much he saw.
12.3 Mary takes a pint of pure nard, an expensive
perfume, pours it on Jesus' feet and wipes them
with her hair: and the house was filled with the fragrance of the
perfume, it was full of its smell.
12.4 Judas Iscariot son of Simon could not help
12.5 »Why wasn't this perfume sold for a year's wages,
and the money given to the poor?«
12.7 Jesus: Leave her alone; it was intended that she should save this perfume for the
day of my burial.
12.8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.«
12.24 »I tell you the truth:
Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains only a single seed;
But if it dies, it produces
many seeds.
12.25 The man who loves his soul,
will keep it for eternal life;
but the man who hates his soul,
will lose it already in this world, it grows dark;
but the man who truly loves,
does not love for this world.
12.27 Now my heart is troubled,
and what shall I say?
Father, save me from this shell*!
But no,
for that is why I have come,
the way has been so long,
for me to reach this point.
Only a little and I would say the last prayer:
O God, save me from this world!
12.31 Now is the time for judgement on this world,
now the prince of this world will be driven out.
12.32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men to myself«
12.33 Sorrow then fills his soul.
This he told them, that they might understand
his death:
what it is,
why he must die,
how he will die.
12.34 But they did not understand him.
12.35 And again for the umpteenth time he says to them:
»You are going to have the light just a little while longer;
walk while you have the light,
before darkness overtakes you;
the man who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
12.36 Put your trust in the light while you have it,
so that you may become
sons of light.«
And again sorrow fills his soul.
No-one saw him and no-one heard him;
no-one could see His soul;
only one, who truly loved him.
12.37 Sorrow takes over His soul,
all the miracles, all His works,
was all this in vain?
12.38 This was to fulfil the word of Isaiah the prophet;
His last child, his meaning:
»Lord, who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?«
12.40 »He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes nor understand with their hearts,
and I would heal them.«
They did not look with the eyes of the spirit,
nor listen to their inner voice,
they did not understand with their hearts,
they did not step out of themselves, their shell;
who could illumine their understanding?
12.41 So spoke the prophet Isaiah because he saw
Jesus' glory and spoke about him:
12.49 »I did not speak of my own accord but the Father commanded me what to say.
12.50 The eternal life of the soul,
is not my command, it speaks: for itself.«
is the death of love,
with it something in everyone dies.
But no-one on this earth
felt it as bitterly as Judas.
The first of the disciples
was Judas to betray him,
the first of them
to reach the heavenly kingdom.
He did it fast,
as he commanded:
he betrayed him thrice truly;
he was chosen for the betrayal:
he was chosen by Jesus (at the Last Supper),
chosen in spirit (when his spirit entered him),
chosen by his fate (for it had to be so,
for the old prophecy to be fulfilled);
and yet:
this was not betrayal according to his will,
truly he did not cease to love Jesus,
he loved him as,
he really was.
He gave his life for his friend,
he gave him his light,
there is no greater value than this.
He is the son of light, not the night.
13.1 He now knew with certainty this was his last
meal, it was before the Passover Feast that he ate
the last supper with them.
He knew that his day had come;
he knew he was now leaving those he had loved;
he knew he now stood before the final manifestation of his
Will he be able to love his betrayer;
will he love until the end?
This he knew not with as much certainty because he
knew he had been sacrificed, by Him.
13.2 It was the devil himself who prompted Iscariot to
carry out the evil betrayal.
Will he be able to love until the end.
13.3 He knew he had been sent to now go to the very end;
and he knew that He had given him the grace of the trial.
Jesus stands up, knowing that the Father has placed all things in his hands,
that he can now return to God, whole.
13.4 He got up from the meal and took off his outer clothing;
so he may return clean from where he had come.
13.5 He wraps a towel around his waist,
and washes his disciples' feet;
drying them with the towel,
which was round his waist.
When he has done this to all his disciples,
humbling himself before them,
he is an example of humility to them;
for even in a higher life this virtue is not all clean,
never to the end;
he wanted it too much.
13.6 When he came to Simon Peter, Simon could not
allow it.
Simon Peter: »Lord, you shall wash my feet?«
13.7 Jesus: »You do not realise now what I am doing,
but later you will understand.«
13.8 Simon Peter: »No, you shall never wash my feet.«
Peter would swear by eternity to refuse;
refuse the humbling of Him before him.
13.9 And Simon Peter asks him to wash his whole body:
his hands, his head, his body; not just his feet!
13.10 Jesus tells him:
»Water cleans, cleans everything,
water is like purity itself.
But the water you cannot see is even cleaner,
it cleans your soul.
The water with which I clean your feet,
it cleans my soul.
Will you deny me that?
Is that not your debt and your portion?
Whoever has been truly cleaned in water,
cleaned in the bath of purification,
is truly clean,
is all clean;
does not need,
to clean his feet alone,
which bear the dust of vanity,
climbing stairs,
hurrying upwards;
treading on what they do not see;
and what they do not see they trample underfoot.
You can be all clean through purification,
but not necessarily.
You are clean, but not all of you.
May no-one believe,
that he is clean for eternity.
No-one is all clean,
but may he not think,
we are all unclean;
you are not all equally unclean,
I too am not all clean.«
13.11 He knew himself,
and his betrayer,
and the betrayer within himself.
13.12 He cleaned their feet,
put on his clothes,
returned to his place and asked them:
»Do you understand what I have said to you?
You do not yet understand but you will see.
13.13 You call me: Teacher and Lord;
and rightly so for that is what I am,
but not only that.
13.14 If I your Teacher and your Lord have cleaned your feet;
you also should wash one another's feet.
13.15 I have set you an example, shown you my way, that
you too may clean yourselves; and I have given you an insight into us.
13.16 I tell you the truth:
no servant is greater than his master.
But first the former must be true, that the
second may twice be true.
The messenger is not greater than the One who sent him.
13.17 Blessed are you if you know this and abide by it,
you will surpass your freedom.
13.18 I am not referring to all of you,
but I am speaking to all of you:
I know those I have chosen,
and I know whom I have chosen.
I know who will be first and who will be second in you;
and I know which one of you will be first and which one second.
I know how you come furthest,
by following your own path.
That is why I now say: Scripture must be fulfilled:
"He who has shared my bread has lifted
up his heel against me."
13.19 I am telling you now before it happens,
so that when it does happen you will see that I am He,
who was sent;
13.20 and he, who accepts me, accepts me as I
was sent by Him; and accepts Him who sent me.«
13.21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit,
he saw that they did not understand,
then he testified:
»I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me.
Quite truly one of the three in you will betray me,
from the three persons in you he will betray me;
and one will be first; when he does this,
all the rest of you will also do this, some of you more than once;
that you may see. If you know this, blessed are you who do this,
for you have surpassed yourselves.
If someone betrays,
he betrays your love, and his own;
this is as if he dies twice,
as if you died in him, he in you;
it is as if love died twice truly;
love dies in him and in you,
love separates from the love in Him.«
The more he told them, the greater his sorrow.
They did not understand, he had to speak to them with his body,
with the mouth to the son of man:
»What has already happened must happen again;
you do not see it yet but you will see it when it happens.
I have done this; and whoever accepts me as I am,
accepts me in truth,
and accepts the Father who sent me.
"He who shares my bread has lifted up his heel
against me"; but he had to do this because he has done this
already, even before it happened, as you would say.
He will be the first to do this, as you will after him.«
13.22 His disciples stared at one another,
at a loss to know which of them he meant.
They do not consider themselves.
13.23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved,
was reclining next to him.
13.24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said:
»Ask him which one he means.«
13.25 The suspicion of love is green in colour, and follows it like a shadow;
the disciple whom Jesus loved leans back against Jesus;
and he was what he truly was and nothing else
was to be said to him;
and still he replies to Simon Peter: »It is He alone who tells us,
who could be that me.«
And to Him: »Lord, who is it?«
13.26 Jesus dips his piece of bread and answers: »It is he to whom I will give it.«
He gave it to Judas Iscariot son of Simon.
13.27 Bitter was the morsel of Judas Iscariot son of Simon,
when he ate the morsel, his body,
Judas in Judas became dark, the symbol of the angel of darkness.
He was chosen to betray.
And Judas betrayed him, he betrayed Him three times truly, he betrayed him completely.
It was his fate that betrayed him,
in his spirit he betrayed him,
he was the angel of darkness when he betrayed Him;
and he will govern him.
He will govern with deceit and in secrecy,
with a treacherous conspiracy,
with a sublime betrayal;
he will govern at the denunciation of each man by every other,
for a long time yet.
Sorrowful and long is the story of Judas,
that is why Jesus also said to him:
»What you are about to do, do quickly.«
13.28 No-one at the meal understood him.
They asked: »Why did he say this?«
Only he who reclined next to him
saw much.
13.29 Some of the disciples thought
that since Judas had charge of the money, Jesus was telling him:
»Buy what is needed for the Feast.«
And truly for the Feast, much of this was needed,
to make the Feast, what it became.
The others understood it thus: that Judas betrayed,
because he fell in love with money, because he made money
his love;
did not in truth Judas chose this himself, but earlier,
when he still could choose?
Then he could chose no longer for it was already
chosen, no longer was it in his power;
when He chose him to be the prince of this world.
Some of them saw from entirely elsewhere:
that Judas may be giving to the poor;
and what did the poor in spirit need more than this:
to see what betrayal in truth truly is,
and whom it serves?
13.30 Judas, after eating his morsel, leaves at once;
it was already dark that evening.
Now some of the disciples thought,
that since Judas had left with the purse, it was riches that had got the better of him;
and truly he looked after them, so they did not need to;
is it not most difficult to be pure in heart,
if you worry constantly for the money hanging around
your neck, the purse on your breast?
The night was truly dark that day,
and it would be hard to see everything.
But one of them saw much more.
It was He who gave him the sight,
to see with a pure heart.
He saw more than he could report.
And how could anyone report everything that he saw?
No-one can do this, no-one has ever been able to do this,
no-one has seen Everything.
And how could he report more than He wanted?
It was night-time, the dawn was yet far for them,
and the first, who was chosen, had already left.
And He, while he told them these things,
was troubled in spirit,
for he knew they would not understand;
he will have to talk to them with the body,
with the mouth to the son of man:
13.31 »Now is the Son of Man glorified and
God is glorified in him!
13.32 And if God is glorified in him,
whom he chose to betray,
then God too glorifies him in Himself,
glorifies him infinitely.
13.33 My children, I will be with you only a little longer,
but as you cannot go with me, although you can go far,
I can also say to you now:
13.34 You will come furthest with love in yourselves, in your hearts.
In truth I tell you, this is how you come far:
love one another,
love the group of three in yourself,
love one another as I loved you in myself;
love one another with all your heart.
13.35 The other recognises himself in you by loving,
and by love too you recognise yourselves,
that you all love within yourselves.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you truly love one another.
As a spiritual eye can see its own eye:
like the eye of a stranger who does not see;
so the spiritual heart can feel its heart:
as a foreign heart which does not love.
Only true spiritual love can truly
begin to feel divine love.«
13.36 Simon Peter: »Lord, where are you going?«
Jesus: »Where I am going, you cannot follow now;
but you will follow later.«
13.37 Peter: »Lord, why can't I follow you now?«
Peter was desperate,
sincere in his desperation,
he cries and pleads: »Do not go!
I will lay down my life for you.«
13.38 He looks at him sorrowfully then says to him compassionately:
»Will you really lay down your life for me?
But were it now, you would choose the easier path, Peter.
You will continue to disown your love,
you declare it too easily, that is why you will renounce it within yourself;
and you will see your pain when you do this:
three times you will disown your love.
Truly I liked this sincerity of yours.«
The Shepherd
»You are as hard as a rock,
Simon, son of John,
your name will be Cephas
(Peter for us),«
said Jesus to him
when they first met.
But when they last met:
»Someone else will dress you,
and lead you where,
you do not want to go.«
He built a church
as solid as rock,
he took care of his sheep.
And when he grew old,
he looked back at his life;
became troubled in the spirit,
that was His sadness in him.
Peter was not free,
someone else led him,
where he did not want to go himself.
Now he knew who
dressed him and saw that
he did not look after His sheep.
In his ears echoed
the Words of His anger:
»Shall I not drunk of the cup
given me by my Father?
Put away your sword!«
If he had not stopped them they would have killed them all.
That may have been better for him.
But it could not be that way.
The world accepted faith in miracles,
truly they were grateful for it and the hope
in life eternal,
for a mighty house, built on rock;
but his love they first betrayed;
they trade with a god, they are interested in power and authority,
there is nowhere on this earth,
that its hand cannot reach;
those who followed His commands they betrayed, killed,
led, started wars, in the name of god,
burnt holy scriptures, nonbelievers,
but first the gnostics, the seekers of the truth,
the true seekers of God.
11.46 Some of them went to the Pharisees
to tell them what Jesus had done.
11.47 When the chief priests and the Pharisees
find out about this miracle,
they are filled with panic.
Now this was serious,
their power was at stake.
Immediately they call a meeting of the Sanhedrin,
and discuss like this:
11.48 »What is this man doing?
He is now even bringing the dead back to life?
What shall we do?
If we leave him just a little longer,
no-one will believe us?
Does anyone still believe us?
The Romans will come with their army,
take everything from us,
our land and our people.«
11.49 One of them, Caiaphas;
was elected
that unfortunate year
to be high priest;
he spoke differently,
like this:
»You know nothing at all!
11.50 And neither do you think much;
otherwise you would know that it is better for you,
if this man dies for you;
if he dies for the nation,
the whole nation will not die.«
11.51 But he did not say this just like that,
he did not say this
on his own.
This was his prophecy,
which he said for that year,
because the high priest it was,
who made the official prophecy;
this is what he said:
11.52 »Jesus will die for the nation;
and not just for this nation,
but for all nations,
for the scattered children of God;
He makes them one.
Each nation is individuality on its own,
none of them is outside God,
they are one with Him.«
They did not even listen to all he had to say,
they did not even take his prophecies very seriously;
they had something more important to do.
18.15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, he was the first to
promise, that he will not betray him, that he would sooner die.
Through the door they went into the high priest's courtyard.
18.16 Peter stayed outside, at the door, another disciple,
darker than Peter, went with Him.
When he comes out, from the courtyard, the other disciple, an acquaintance of the high
priest, loyal to him, saw the girl on duty who knows,
who comes and who leaves through the door;
then the other darker disciple brings
in the first one who was Simon Peter.
18.17 The girl at the door then says to Peter:
»You are not one of his disciples are you?«
Peter: »I am not.«
And he was cold, and he felt so alone
now Peter.
18.18 The servants and officials made a fire because they too were cold.
They stood around the fire and warmed themselves;
Peter too stood with them and warmed himself,
but he got no warmer, he could not, because the wind really blew cold.
18.24 Then Annas sent him, still bound, to
Caiaphas the high priest.
18.25 Still Simon Peter tries to warm himself by the fire;
when they, who stand round the fire, ask him:
»Are you not one of his disciples?«
He says: »I am not.«
And he was grey, even darker now, Peter.
18.26 And the torment was not over for Simon Peter. Here was
a servant, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off.
He asks him: »Did I not see you in the garden
with him?«
18.27 »You didn't.«
Peter denied him completely, and the cock crew,
the dawn was near, but so far for him.
A terrible fire swept through his soul.
»O Father, that I could burn it,«
pleaded Peter, how softly grey is his colour.
21.15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter:
»Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?«
Simon Peter answered: »Yes Lord, you know,
that I love you.«
Jesus said: »Take care of my sheep.«
21.16 Again Jesus asked: »Simon son of John, do you love me?«
Simon Peter answered: »Yes Lord, you know that I love you.«
Jesus said: »Take care of my sheep.«
21.17 The third time he said to him: »Simon son of John, do you love me?«
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time:
»Do you love me?« He said to Him:
»Lord, you know all things; you know,
that I love you.«
Jesus said: »Feed my sheep.«
21.18 Again there was silence, for the third time, but the atmosphere was not
heavy, just earnest; then Jesus said to Peter:
»I tell you the truth:
When you were a child,
you were free;
you dressed yourself,
and went where you wanted;
you were truly free
to go where you wanted to go;
but when you are old,
you will stretch out your hands,
your hands which reach far;
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go.«
Jesus also told him many other things,
but whether Simon heard them then cannot be
said, but he will hear them, he will certainly hear them.
The other disciple heard them because Jesus
loved him most, and he loved Him in truth.
By his love the disciple saw; His love
he understood it all. This was love in the three worlds of the soul,
the individualities of Himself and Him.
If God wrapped His Divinity thrice,
he did it so that each man could unwrap it in himself.
Jesus showed them this on himself, from himself, from his heart,
so they would see that it is no different for them.
When he was still a child, Peter saw the divine spark in himself;
he tended the sheep like a child of God.
Then Peter forgot; and he would have completely forgotten,
had Jesus not come to rouse his depths,
to show him the translucency of all the layers: of his soul.
He shone light on his love:
the love of the son of man;
the love of the spirit of man, love pure and spiritual;
the divine love of man, the brightest, the brightest
in man, his soul; that is seen only by the spirit of man when
he is pure.
Whoever loves not cannot see;
whoever cannot see, knows not of his path, of his freedom.
And Jesus said to Peter: »Be not a guide,
as any man can be who cannot see,
who does not love;
be not a guide as any man can be who is of
clear spirit but who does not love;
be a guide who follows the divine spark within but not
in the manner of any man of sharp wit but who does not love;
love like a child of God for such are my sheep.
Tend my sheep, they are the children of God.
You fished where there were no fish;
wide was your reach, your spirit was darkening;
but you were brave, truly you were,
though that is what draws you where you do not want to go;
then you must go there, then you are you no longer, and you are not free.«
21.19 This he told him to show him his way;
all the way till his death Peter could see,
and the abysses which draw him, and His sacrifice,
with which he celebrated God, he could see.
And when he told him this and saw that Peter did not see,
that he loves him not enough, he only said:
»Follow me!«
21.20 Peter turned around,
and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved,
following them,
this was the one who caused him so much pain,
who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper
and who asked Him:
»Lord, who is going to betray you?«
Deep in his soul was engraved this word,
it was engraved thrice.
21.21 When Peter sees him following Jesus he says:
»Lord, what about him?«
His voice said more:
suspicious of love,
openly hateful was his voice,
and grey, dark in colour.
21.22 Jesus answered: »If I want him to remain alive...
until I return,
just for you,
what is that to you?
You must follow me!
Do not take notice of the others; don't look at others like that,
don't wait for their love.
He goes alone,
he is not someone you must tend.«
– The marked text is from the book of St. John's Revelation or On Three Values (compared with the text from the book issued in 1986, 1990, 1994 the differences are minimal).
– The message of St. John's gospel is actually that of a gnostic text. It was written up (or copied) by a gnostic. The gospel according to St. John is a gnostic gospel. Even after the copying or editing of St. Irenaeus (Bishop of Lugdunum, Gaul, ca. 130-202; now Lyon, France) the essence of this message is unambiguous: knowledge of God – gnosis.
– Possibly an unnecessary comment, but still: gnostic words speak to us of their own accord; in truth they address us three times: first as a story, if we read it freely; secondly in the spirit – when we watch with spiritual eyes, we could say – with intuition because the story is just the framework for the values – the direct facts of consciousness; thirdly with a clean heart, some would say – with a pure mind.
– * from this shell – from this hour, from this layer of the soul, from this prison, from this world.
– Note about the source: the Holy Bible
Why choose the revelation according to Saint John, taken from the Holy Bible of the Old and New Testament, translated from the Greek original and published by the British and Foreign Bible society in Ljubljana in 1931?
The language is already coloured with the patina of a time gone by; but if there is no time, then what is it coloured with, if not with something which is being lost, and was already more present than it is now?
I tried to keep to the Bible as much I possibly could, but the changes comment on the reading, about how the Gospel of St. John can be read – by me. For reading is one thing, and understanding is another, and comprehending, reliving is yet another thing. I know that every person reads everything in their own way. When they read it, they hear something inside them, their inner voice, and if they write it down, what they write down is not the same as the original, and yet it can be closer to them in spirit than if they had written down exactly the same thing. The symbols of words are empty in themselves; we must give them meaning, otherwise they remain more or less dead symbols that we read automatically.
In reality we converse with the spirit; letters, words, sentences and books are only the equivalent of the communication of one spirit with another, one idea with another, one value with another; one individuality with another.

Gulets are small, traditional wooden sailing vessels which are originally from Southwestern coast Turkey. The vessels have now become very popular among tourists and are used for cruises across the globe. Gulet holidays are now some of the most exciting that you can choose to enjoy during your holidays. They are modernized and thereby include navigational tools and amenities that can make your holiday nothing but the best any given day. Many models are powered by engines and provide speed convenience when needed.Are Gulets Better Than Big Cruise Liners?The fact is that the smaller boats come with benefits which make them much better for holidays compared to cruise ships. You will have a lot of things to enjoy with your Gulet tours as compared to choosing cruise liners and this include bonuses that are offered by the cruise companies operating here.
They offer exceptional privacy:This is one of the benefits that you will enjoy from your Gulet holiday. This is because there are fewer people on board as compared to the cruise liners that can accommodate as many as 3000 holidaymakers. The fewer the number of people on board, the more privacy you stand to enjoy and this is amazing for any holiday. You can actually have a Gulet all to yourself, your family or friends. You can also find less crowded beaches and bays during your cruise making a huge difference to your holiday experience.You enjoy an experience that is authentic:During any holiday it is important to mingle with the local culture and people and this is what Gulet holidays offer you. The local captains manning the Gulets make sure that you have an authentic look at all tourist areas during your exploration. You will also enjoy personalized attention which can be hard to enjoy on choosing larger cruise liners.They take shorter routes: This is because of their size which makes it possible for you to explore more of the exciting areas. You will be amazed by the amount of time that you have to get acquainted with the areas that you are touring. The Gulets can tackle areas that would otherwise be harder for large cruise ships to tackle.You enjoy holiday flexibility:With Gulet charters, you will enjoy greater flexibility in the sense that you can have programs which are individualized to meet your holiday expectations. You will also have more time sightseeing without much time restraint, especially when you have a Gulet all to yourself for the holidays. You can explore the beautiful surroundings deeper and spend a little more time on the marvelous churches, medieval towns and narrow streets among other holiday attractions that any city has to offer you.
You enjoy fresher foods:Even though the big cruise liners still offer good food, you cannot compare preparing food for thousands and food for a small number of people. You therefore know that you will eat fresh, local food with your Gulet cruise. The food in these boats does not even need any additives to keep their appeal.
There is plenty to enjoy with Gulet holidays in Croatia. To find out more about holiday options and how to rent a Gulet for your holidays, please click on the link given below.web: gulet.hr/

Starz has unveiled the first trailer for its new original drama Outlander.
The promo for the US time-travel series premiered at a live event in Los Angeles to over 2,000 fans.
The sci-fi is based on the best-selling books by Diana Gabaldon and follows a combat nurse from 1945 who is swept back in time to 1743.
Caitriona Balfe stars as time-travelling nurse Claire Randall in the adaptation, while Scottish actor Sam Heughan has been cast as the male lead and Randall's love interest.
Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore developed the TV adaptation and acts as a writer and producer on the series, alongside Jim Kohlberg.
Starz has ordered 16 episodes of Outlander, which was filmed in Scotland towards the end of last year.
The show was recently reported to have created 200 jobs in the country.
Outlander will premiere on Starz this Summer.

Totally Free Las Vegas Attractions
If you purchase a 5-dollar day pass for The Deuce (brand new double-decker buses) or some other Citizens Area Transit system, you can make a day of participating in all the free stuff that extends up The Strip all the way to downtown Las Vegas.
The adventure begins at the MGM Grand with The Lion Habitat. Between 11am and 10pm daily, visitors can visit a few members of the resident pride of lions. The lions are brought in daily from an off-site ranch habitat where they reside full-time. They are rotated out several times a day. Guests may experience the surrounding environment by way of a glass tunnel that extends through the center of the habitat.
New York-New York boasts a collection of sports-themed art throughout the ESPN Zone restaurant. Examples include a mixed-media portrait of Evel Knievel, a statue of Oscar De La Hoya, and a neon-framed Andre Agassi. In addition, don't miss New York-New York's September 11th display and memorial in front of the hotel entrance.
At the Mirage, guests can take in the Royal White Tiger Habitat nestled along the moving walkway inside the Las Vegas Boulevard entrance. Here, you can see the home of Sigfried and Roy's playful white tigers from mid-morning to late at night. Outside you can't miss the eruption of the 54-foot high volcano that spews smoke and fire up to 100 feet above the bustling Strip. It erupts at the top of each hour from 6pm to Midnight.
The Fountains of Bellagio are an absolute must-see, and an attraction that is hard to miss with more than 1,000 jets of water shoot water up to 245 feet in the air. The fountains dance to the music and light show every half hour Monday through Friday 3pm to 7pm; Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays, Noon to 7pm; and every 15 minutes nightly between 8pm and Midnight.
Treasure Island hosts a thrilling show of four performances nightly at 7pm, 8:30, 10pm, and 11:30pm. The Sirens of TI is a sexy standoff between the Sirens and a band of pirates in the cove in front of the resort. It features music, dance, temptation, danger, excitement, and seduction as a pyrotechnic battle ensues. A must see event free of charge.
The Hawaiian Marketplace located in front of Polo Towers on The Strip modeled after the International Marketplace in Honolulu features Joe Krathwohl as The Birdman of Las Vegas.

2013-06-09 - Majorelle Contrasts
