Ten... bits of Jubilee
tat tech
The Jubilee weekend has landed. All that exists now is junk, drunks, plums and parties. And we've all got an additional 48 hours off from the world, man. Here in London, though, you've never seen so much human traffic. For those in the nation's capital, it isn't just the wave of tourists that are proving hard to avoid. Solar …
Mostly tat, to be sure.
Union-Jack or no, the Mini Cooper mouse looked cute, especially if you know someone who is a mini-nut, though the ergonomics might be doubtful.
The Pure Evoke Mio used the 'Jack well. Looks really nice, unlike most of the slap-on-a-'Jack themed stuff.
Re: Mostly tat, to be sure.
That Mini Cooper mouse may look good, but try using it for eight hours straight. You probably wouldn't like it so much then.
Here in Sonoma, CA ...
... nobody gives a rat's ass about your tiny little monarchy.
Carry on all, in theory we'll continue living day-to-day regardless.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
An American, from the country that has given us junk food, obesity, gun crime, unfair extradition treaties, rendition, poor spelling, grey squirrels and Aids etc......
Your opinion is..... Not relevant.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Here in UK, UK very few of us give a rats arse either.
But manufacturers are idiots, and we like a good laugh at our own expense.
I'm sure you realise that whatever we screw up at the Olympics, the British will be laughing hardest and longest.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"An American"
I'm a Finn, actually.
"from the country that has given us junk food"
You are delusional. Junk food has always existed, in every culture.
Have you not walked down the high-street?
"gun crime"
Uh ... guns existed long before the USofA existed.
"unfair extradition treaties"
That's your .gov's fault. They shouldn't be bending over ...
That's French, isn't it?
"poor spelling"
Spelling mutates. Get used to it.
"grey squirrels"
Out of curiosity, who was the idiot who imported them to England?
"and Aids etc......"
I think you'll find that the virus now known as "AIDS" originated in Africa.
"Your opinion is..... Not relevant."
Oh. OK. And your opinion is relevant why, exactly?
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Few places are more parochial than California - in an LA suburb when offered a UK passport as ID for changing travellers cheques, the clerk stated "don't you have a California driving license ?".
I did.
I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised when dealing someone from a state where few travel outside its borders, let alone outside the US.
Your tautology, overuse of ellipses, implication that the UK government is blameless in agreeing and maintaining the absurd extradition treaty and your claim that "America has given us ... Aids" are all intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"I'm a Finn, actually."
Hardly surprising. An American would never have made the connection between this lot and our "tiny little monarchy". Actual Americans live under the impression that the "world news" they see on the TV is fictional and made in Hollywood.
Ratings are heavily down since the scriptwriters canned their hugely popular villain, the Soviet Union, at the end of series 8. The new bad guy, Islamic terrorism, isn't polling well with Nielsen audiences and it's likely that foreign news won't make the cut for the fall schedules.
@Visible Otters (was: Re: @AC 07:48)
"overuse of ellipses"
No such animal... Herb Caen taught me to type :-)
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Thats an interesting perspective, considering all of your history originally came from this "tiny little monarchy".
Typical bloody Merkin.....Ever wondered why most of the developed world hates you?
@cornz 1 (was: Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
No. Just no. Look up "Bear Flag".
We accept all cultures. Yourself?
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
Youghurt has a more appealing "culture" than America....
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
So you don't accept all cultures, cornz 1?
I feel ever so sorry for you. And even sorrier for those around you.
Many US citizens of my acquaintance exhibit an interest in the minutiae of monarchy that goes far beyond my knowledge, bordering on the obsessive. I suppose that when you look at the sorry succession of individuals that have purchased the US Presidency in recent decades, a subconscious yearning for a more civilised and effective form of government is understandable.
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
I really dont need your platitude...Just the atlantic ocean...Good day...
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
Sadly cornz1, you don't see why your attitude is parochial.
But whatever. Carry on.
Me, I prefer a more worldly view.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
We Didn't have junk food until you imported it to us, we couldn't afford it because we were still paying you back for the lend lease items WW2 until recently. Still you made plenty of money out of us.
As for rendition, that's what you do to people when they disagree with you.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
> ... nobody gives a rat's ass about your tiny little monarchy.
Fair enough. At least you've heard about the Monarchy, here in the UK hardly anyone's ever heard of Sonoma, CA. Your showy neighbo(u)r Napa is much better known.
@Fihart (was: Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ... )
California "parochial"? Bwahahahahahahaha!
That's the biggest horse-laugh I've had in ages ... Ta :-)
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
I'm not arguing with an idiot. You'll beat me with experience...
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"Here in Sonoma, CA ... ... nobody gives a rat's ass about your tiny little monarchy."
In that case, can we have the Queen Mary back?
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Its that lovely, endearing attitude that just fills me up with love and abandon etc.
I always thought that the Finnish hated to be called the 'Finns'. Dont suppose you are one of those Americans who pretend to come from some other country, even though they were born in the US of A because they are secretly embarrassed about the country, by any chance? Instead they cling on to some other culture or nation just because their great-granddad came from some other place?
God bless America, and all who sail in her etc.
Paris, as even she is not a knob on the same scale as yourself.
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
> We accept all cultures. Yourself?
Thank you, but we have our own,
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Posts like this raise a common bafflement. Why would anyone read an article that is about a subject they don't care about and then go to the effort to say how little they care about it. You even have the audacity to claim to speak for everybody in your town.
You say you're Finnish. I never met a Finn who would go to the effort to whine about something they don't have an interest in nor claim to speak for anyone other than themselves.
Oh well, just thought I'd throw in my tuppence.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"... nobody gives a rat's ass about your tiny little monarchy."
It may have escaped your attention but The Register is a website from the UK. This means that it sometimes covers topics of interest/amusement to people in the UK and these are probably not as US-centric as you may be used to. However, nobody is forcing you to read El Reg. I'm sure a quick search would find some other websites discussing equally tacky products covered with stars and stripes, eagles and other stuff with which you could feel right at home.
I can't remember when I last saw such blatant old-school trolling on The Register. Isn't this following the original template that invented trolling?
Step 1 : Open article you have no interest in, but that you know others will.
Step 2: Post comment on how you are not interest.
Step 3: Say how much it sucks/blows/fails/whatever
Step 4: Await responses. Yum, yum, food for the troll.
The added twist of the American vs Rest of the World playground battle is guaranteed to deliver, but is a really, really tedious dead horse flogged to death around 1997.
Over all 8/10 for nostalgia. 0/10 for originality.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
"I'm a Finn, actually."
Well, to misquote Max Bygraves, "Finns ain't wot they used to be."
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Well they don't have an obesity issue at least.
They are all quite Finnish.
Dammit, Gav ... (was: Re: DNFTT)
Thanks for blowing my cover. I rarely indulge myself anymore. As you say, it's getting old. But it's fun to wind up the kids once in a while ... On the other hand, judging by the down-votes, I succeeded far beyond my expectations.
This round's on me. Be well, all :-)
Re: Dammit, Gav ... (was: DNFTT)
Dont try and kid everyone that this was an old school trolling by an old school troll. Your arse was well and truely "whooped".....
Now, scurry off back to your rock.....The adults have things to do....
@cornz 1 (was: Re: Dammit, Gav ... (was: DNFTT))
Spit the hook, little fish.
Re: Dammit, Gav ... (was: DNFTT)
"Thanks for blowing my cover. [...]"
Ah, the classic "lol I troll you!" when things go pear-shaped. I'm sure everyone is convinced.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
Is Sonoma in Computer Associates?
That is what CA stans for in the OT world.
Re: @cornz 1 (was: Here in Sonoma, CA ...)
Yes - we can all see you take a worldly view from your first post:-
"... nobody gives a rat's ass about your tiny little monarchy."
I expect that an inbred Tennessee redneck could just barely exceed the carefully thought out worldly view which you display with all the erudition of a brain dead catfish.
Re: Here in Sonoma, CA ...
I don't know whether the Faux News studios are based in Hollywood, but other than that, their perception is entirely correct.
Basically Junk
I agree with LaeMing, the mouse & the radio (both wireless, of course...) are worth a second look, the rest are ghastly.
So are the mouse & the radio, after a second look.
Re: Basically Junk
Well yes, I wouldn't be actually buying them either. "Not Ghastly" is probably the best recomendation you could get for any of this sort of tat (whatever country - the Australia Day tat is just as bad: often the same stuff but for 3/4 of the image used).

The second fire of a Tesla Model S in the same month has prompted renewed doubt on the safety of electric cars. The aftermath of a high-speed crash of the luxury performance car in Mexico Oct. 18 was captured on video and has been making the rounds, causing Tesla's skyrocketing stock to plummet more than 7 percent since the market's Monday opening.
The car was speeding through a roundabout in Merida, a city in the northern Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, when "it hit a raised pedestrian crossing and briefly took flight before crashing into a wall and tree," wrote Justin Hyde for Yahoo! Autos.
The driver and "perhaps a couple of passengers" walked away from the scene.
(Cuidado: explicit Spanish language)
Skittish investors might not be paying attention to that last part: The driver and passengers walked away from a 4,600-pound car that "took flight" before crashing into a wall and a tree. Check out the bent rear axle and other damage. Imagine the speed it had to have been going and the subsequent impact it had to go airborne, hit a wall, then a tree.
Tesla stoked controversy earlier this year by claiming it earned the highest safety rating ever by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) -- claiming 5.4 points out of 5, which was later recanted. Still, it earned 5 out of 5 stars for safety on all the tests.
Earlier this month, Tesla stock stumbled on news of a Model S catching fire in Seattle. The culprit was a piece of road debris classified as "a large metal object" that evidently fell off a semi-truck on a highway. The piece impaled the underbody of the electric car, where the massive battery pack is, and caused the fire.
The driver walked away.
Responding to that fire on Oct. 4, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote: "A fire caused by the impact began in the front battery module – the battery pack has a total of 16 modules – but was contained to the front section of the car by internal firewalls within the pack. Vents built into the battery pack directed the flames down towards the road and away from the vehicle."
The NHTSA did not investigate the fire, stating there was "no evidence that the fire...resulted from a Model S defect."
There is an average of 152,300 automobile fires a year, according to the National Fire Protection Association. When electric cars catch fire, however, there is a furor. In 2011, a Chevy Volt caught fire three weeks after it had been in an accident, prompting NHTSA to restate guidelines to disconnect the battery of an electric vehicle to be serviced after a crash.
Lithium-ion battery packs have been under scrutiny since a 2006 recall of Sony laptops catching fire because of overheated lithium-ion batteries. That scare conflagrated early this year with Boeing's troubled 787 Dreamliner, which had issues with the lithium-ion battery pack that powered the plane's electrical systems when the engines were off.
The FAA grounded the Dreamliner until modifications to the battery pack got it back up in the air last month.
Yet Li-ion batteries, which pack more energy into smaller packs, are considered statistically very reliable, with failure in about 1 in 10 million cells, according to Mitch Jacoby writing for Chemical and Engineering News.
A Model S can use up to 8,000 Li-ion fuel cells, depending on motor size, which may increase the risk of fire.
Despite built-in safety devices, the safety of lithium-ion batteries is being addressed by chemical engineers at the full system level, according to Jacoby.
The fires demonstrate the need for increased safety testing of Li-ion battery packs but do not suggest that electric vehicles are unsafe or that the nascent electric vehicle industry is untested. To the contrary, every electric vehicle falls under NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), which tests the majority of models introduced that year.
The two high-profile fires, fueled by viral videos, have caused a panic that is not justified.
In both Model S fires, the drivers walked away from high-speed accidents, and both anticipated delivery of another Model S.
Accidents happen. It's the reaction to the accidents that have the most enduring impact.

An Insider Put Half a Million on This Mining Stock
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX) stunned its investors last December when it announced that it would buy two related energy companies, including Mcmoran Exploration (NYSE: MMR), which had some time ago been part of the same business as Freeport, and therefore expand its commodities business to include oil and gas. Many market watchers had treasured Freeport-McMoRan as a barometer of copper demand and therefore of global macro activity in general and China in particular. In addition, M&A activity often destroys shareholder value, and in this particular case the transaction price for the acquired companies seemed particularly high. The stock dropped about 20% and, despite a rally, is still down about 15% from its levels before the deal was announced.
Now a Form 4 filed with the SEC has disclosed that advisory Director J. Bennett Johnston (a former U.S. Senator from Louisiana) directly purchased 16,000 shares of the stock on March 1 at an average price of $31.48 per share. The stock currently trades at about $33. We track insider purchases because it generally doesn't make sense for insiders to purchase more stock in the company (reducing their diversification) unless they have particularly high confidence; studies show that stocks bought by insiders have a small outperformance effect (read more about studies on insider trading).
Freeport-McMoRan's business as it is currently seems to be performing adequately. Last quarter revenue was up and margins expanded, contributing to a 16% increase in net income. The stock currently trades at 10 times trailing earnings, with a dividend yield of about 4%, which would arguably qualify it for value status. Of course, the copper business means that Freeport-McMoRan's stock price is highly sensitive to the broader economy (the stock's beta is 2.2). The forward P/E, based on analyst consensus for 2014, is only 7.
13F filings show that a number of hedge funds bought into Freeport-McMoRan in the fourth quarter, possibly after its stock price plunged. We track these filings in part to help develop investment strategies (for example, we have found that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds generate an excess return of 18 percentage points per year), and also to monitor how individual stocks are being traded (as well as how individual hedge funds are behaving. Billionaire John Paulson's Paulson & Co. initiated a position of 9 million shares and Omega Advisors, a hedge fund managed by billionaire Leon Cooperman, bought over 3 million shares of the stock (find Cooperman's favorite stocks). Cooperman has in fact claimed that the acquisition will be good for the company.
Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO), Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), and Vale (NYSE: VALE) are three peers for Freeport-McMoRan. Southern Copper and Vale (an industrial metals miner) have betas of higher than 1.5, reflecting their sensitivity to economic conditions, while Newmont Mining primarily produces gold. The trailing earnings multiples at Southern Copper and Vale are considerably higher than at Freeport-McMoRan, in the 17-20 range, and neither company has turned in a particularly strong performance recently (though commodity prices rather than operations likely drive all of these companies' results). Newmont, whose revenue declined 11% in the fourth quarter of 2012 versus a year earlier, has valuation multiples more in line with Freeport-McMoRan's, though there is still a small premium in both trailing and forward P/Es.
We're certainly aware of the risks of M&A, but Freeport-McMoRan does seem cheap in terms of its current business and it's possible the market has already accounted for any loss of shareholder value that will occur due to the transaction. We generally don't give too much weight to insider purchases or hedge fund activity, but they certainly aren't negatives in our eyes. With some peers trading at higher multiples we actually would say that Freeport-McMoRan is worth further research as long as integration risks are kept in mind.

I was wondering, is constipation when you feel like you have to go but it wont come out, or if you just don't feel like you have to go at all?
Can be both. Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water or if the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing the stool to move through the colon too slowly. As a result, stools can become hard and dry.
More Dietary fiber in your diet (like metamusil supplement)
Proper exercise and diet (including fresh fruits and veggies!)
Laxatives, enemas, suppositories if it gets too bad and you need a little 'help'

Nov 19 2012: Ever wondered why in eastern meditation practices, the goal is to get rid of all thoughts whatsoever, empty our mind completely? That's because it gives a sense of purity, peace, and ultimate freedom. Nobody can control our thoughts when we do not have any.
The trick is to tell whether we truly have no thoughts or we just think that we don't. And that requires some thinking.
Nov 19 2012: Good point. We are our thoughts. We are what we think we are. We are a part of the universe and the universe is a part of us. The question of control and free will appears to be circular.
Down below, I replied to Roy's comment with some references to quantum physics and quotations from Alan Watts that also reflect this view.
Nov 19 2012: On quantum level , in meditation , there is nothing in your mind to collapse the wave function ; no ripples of possibility are focused into 'realities'.
As for Alan Watts, he's great, no question about it, but ...
Let me quote :
Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma
see no Dharma in everyday actions.
They have not yet discovered that
there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma.
Or maybe i've missed this idea in his philosophy , but i think it's necessary for ' as above so below '
Nov 19 2012: I guess, Alan Watt's borrows from Zen a lot. Here are some other quotes from him:
"Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes."
"Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it."
I have just discovered Watts a few days ago from a random quotation in gmail header. There are tons of his recordings on Youtube. I'm going to listen to them.
And thanks for your quotation. I love to discover new sources this way. A brief search revealed that the quote is from Dogen and led me to a few other pearls:
"Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment."
"If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?"
Awesome. Thanks a lot.
Nov 20 2012: Arkady,
why do you like these quotes or thoughts they carry ? Why do you pay attention in the first place ?
Because these thoughts resonate with the context of your mind and your mind is tuned by the content of your thoughts, which are not yours either.
Isn't it circular ? :)
So, we do listen when we think we are thinking ! We take thoughts from the collective pool and contribute to it. Everything is yours and nothing belongs to you.The question remains : where do thoughts come from to fill the pool ?
And here are my ( :) ) thoughts :
" I " is collective, " am" is what makes it personal . " am " is experience . And these rare moments of direct experience of ' something' we don't have a name for or too many names : God , the Whole , the Presence... when you do not think nor listen is the source of all thoughts.
Btw. Mark Meijer is the one/many who you'll enjoy to talk to about Alan Watts :)
Thank you and enjoy your day !
Nov 20 2012: @Don
I borrow from you and the rest of the people. Here is how it works for me. A few recent examples. I check my gmail. Google shows one-line notes at the top of the email list - a link to the news, a quote, or an ad. This one read: "You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you. -- Alan Watts
Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/alanwatts253017.html#qiUX7tcQ8DO2UtdX.99
I clicked on the link and discovered the ones I posted (you can do it too). Then I searched "Alan Watts" - and came across a bunch of Youtube posts.
Now, I posted some quotes here and got one from Natasha. I searched it and came across this:
The other time, I received an email from a bank. They had a quote "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." attributed to someone. It "rang a bell" with this video http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_dennett_on_our_consciousness.html. I like to know where things come from. I looked it up and found that the person quoted wasn't the first to say it. The saying is attributed to Anais Nin, but also to Talmud.
Songs are most interesting to decipher. I love Mark Knopfler. His songs prompted me to look up many things and names including Sonny Liston, Ray Croc, Mason-Dickson line, Albion Motors, etc.
Other gems from songs include "We are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave", "All we know is just another brick on the wall". I like to look up song lyrics and dig into origins - including nuances from translations.
It's random. That's how our brain works. Impression -> association -> action -> another impression, and so on. We don't control impression and association. We think we control the action, but it follows from the previous impression and association. It's like a game. We don't really control it, but we can play and have fun.
... and also with you
Nov 20 2012: HI Arkady you may be interested in the connection between Alan Watts and via, via all the way to Swedenborg. I found this information: D.T. Suzuki called Swedenborg the "Buhda of the North"
"Suzuki's extensive project ostensibly started when the Swedenborg Society in London contacted the Japanese embassy and asked for a competent translator to render Swedenborg into Japanese. The embassy suggested Suzuki..
Suzuki agreed, and in due time translated Swedenborg's Divine Love and Wisdom, Divine Providence, Heaven and Hell, and Heavenly Doctrine. He also turned up as an official delegate at the International Swedenborg Congress when it was held in London in 1910, along with other Swedenborgian notables, such as Henry James, the novelist. Letters still at the Swedenborg Society in London indicate that Suzuki also agreed to produce at least one biographical sketch of Swedenborg as a separate little volume in order to promote the sale of the longer more technical works throughout Japan. As well, in 1914, Suzuki was one of the three men who officially launched the Japanese Swedenborg Society, which from then on oversaw the publication and distribution of Swedenborg's works in Japan.
The rest of the story is well known. Suzuki returned to the United States in the early 1950s and stayed for some ten years. During this time he became the foremost exponent of Zen in the West. ALAN WATTS, who had known him in London from the 1930s, considered Suzuki his teacher. Now, with Watts paving the way, Suzuki influenced psychoanalysts such as Karen Horney and Erich Fromm. (A year before her death, Suzuki even escorted Horney on a three-month trip through the religious shrines of Japan.) He influenced Jazz musicians such as John Cage and his works were avidly read by popular writers such as J. D. Salinger, and poets such as Alan Ginsberg and Gary Snyder."
How it all comes together..
Nov 20 2012: I think about contradictions by profession. One part of my job requires to improve semiconductor yield. The other part of my job requires to improve quality and reliability. These efforts are opposite to each other. Here is a Zen picture that I have on my wall at work.
I cannot survive without Zen or "do not judge" thing. I also must learn to humble my opinions. My life was more difficult before I learned how to do that. It's an effort to preserve sanity.
Thinking of quality makes me philosophical. It makes me think of things like "why do I believe what I believe"? "When do we have enough evidence to 'know'"? The role of errors in our life, etc. I witness every day how people blind themselves to reality and see what the want to see. I observe double standards when people talk about quality of their own work and quality of our suppliers. It's all very practical and very fascinating.
Re: "So, we do listen when we think we are thinking ! We take thoughts from the collective pool and contribute to it. Everything is yours and nothing belongs to you.The question remains : where do thoughts come from to fill the pool ?"
This analogy does not feel right. You seem to think of "we" and "collective pool" and "something else" from which thoughts come into the collective pool. The analogy of feeling waves in an endless ocean is better. All thoughts are there. We just need to perceive them.
And, yes, I enjoy talking to Mark a lot. My favorite quote from him is "What is true and what is useful are completely different considerations". I wonder if it's his or he got it from somewhere else.
Nov 20 2012: Maybe we are boiling to semantics here :)
Knowing exists in a wave form, it's not dual . Can you get information without processing it ?
Processed information is dual, it is a thought. Thoughts are ' knowledge ' , it's knowing about .Wave/particle duality is universal , i guess..
Thoughts are real, convincing , highly applicable, can be stored , but not quite true for nothing has independent existence from anything else ; a thought being shaped into words is detached from the whole by the very act of shaping it into words. The analogy of feeling waves in an endless ocean is really better, but 'waves' are not thoughts.
In a way we 'think' our reality into existence, but it is illusion. To have the opening to something which is really real, that sets the agenda you need to be out of time out of mind and loose the sense of self.
Sorry, my 'explanation' can only add to confusion, but it's really difficult to tell, you do know that . Maybe it doesn't make sense to you, and it's OK :)
Thanks for the link, I'll go there in a couple of hours.
Cheers !
Nov 20 2012: Hi, again !
Maybe you should post your link in the conversation about truth.
The majority of people can admit that without lying their daily work cannot be done. In fact , lying is so fundamental to our goal oriented, consuming culture that it has ceased to be lying at all and has transformed into a variant of truth. We say : it's part of life and the more we get stuck in it the more we need an antidote, Zen , ' don't judge ' thing helps, it does .
"The excessive increase of anything causes a reaction in the opposite direction." Why do you think we are talking about Truth , God , Love so much these days ?
Nov 20 2012: That is total rubish Arkady.
Thoughts are not just the psychobabble of the Autobiographical selves.
What the Eastern approach suggests is to bring the identity back to the core self.
THe core self is not concerned with language. This "emptyness" you talk about is a red herring - the core self in repose does a lot fo thinking - it does it much faster than the A-selves.
Autobiographical selves are simulations, the core self is the real deal.
When you compare them, it only seems like the core self is empty - it is anythng but empty.
You mistake the pathology of being trapped in autobiographical selves for "thought".
It is not the case when you escape the pathology.
Nov 20 2012: Mitch, I'm not sure how to define psychobabble.
I agree on the point of bringing the identity to the core self. To do that, we need to clean our identity of the junk that we associate ourselves with, don't we? Otherwise, our identity is tied up to that junk. I'm not an expert on Eastern philosophy, so, if you give me a reference or two to improve my knowledge, that would be great.
Re: "THe core self is not concerned with language."
I've read that human consciousness originated with language. I don't think we can have a conscious thought without language. If you think otherwise, I'd appreciate if you elaborate your opinion.
"Self" is a weird concept. It's at the core of itself. Whether it's empty or not - it's a question of faith.
Mitch SMith 100+Nov 20 2012: Yes, faith has a role. But the mechanism is not understood yet, and it can result in making things worse rather than better.
We keep saying "human human human" .. you know why?
Because we subtracted ourselves from the world during the last 2 climate stadials - the Older and Younger Dryas events.
At this point, humans retreated from the Earth into their Autobiographical selves. We have been around for 150-200 thousand years, or longer. But we have only been insane for the last 25 thousand years - and only intensely insane for 11 thousand years.
You say "consciousness consciousness consciousness" but no one really knows what that word means. For instance, what is the difference between consciousness and awareness? .. and is it the same as "vitality" or "spirit"? .. few people even attempt to define these things and becasue of that these words have zero meaning.
The only guy I have seen have a really good go at a definition is Antonio Damasio.
I am trying to take the lead of guys like Damasio and sort it out against my own direct observations.
For instance, I simply refuse to accept that animals and plants do not posess consciousness - direct observation contradicts that assertion .. it seesm like a grand arrogance and a poisonous delusion that only insane humans entertain.
All this malarky about "dominion" and human supramacy.
ALl poison - spoon fead to us by religions and other vested interests who have a stake in our continued insanity.
This thing of "language" it is a by-product of the mechanism required to translate (code/decode) what others say - it is an imaginary place, a collection of perception that we call "world-view" in which we cast these imaginary selves to simulate and predict the stuff of communication - in order to widen our fields of perception.
It is imaginary - it is illusion - if we mistake that for "consciousness". Then - we are, indeed, insane.
Enough insanity! Faith begone! Give me the truth, not your untestable opinion.
Nov 20 2012: Appology - you asked for a link:
THis guy is very good with the Eastern .. thing .. I won't polute it with meaningless words.
However, you have to keep in mind that this guy is speaking from within sanity - describing the scenery.
He cannot enter our insanity and use our insane assumptions without becoming insane. He alludes to some techniques, but the real stuff he is saying is in the gaps between the words. YOu will see for yourself what I mean.
Nov 20 2012: Great. Thanks, Mitch. It makes sense now. I'm well aware that "consciousness" is a fuzzy concept. I think, what you say is much in sync with the quotes from Alan Watts I posted below.
Re: "Enough insanity! Faith begone! Give me the truth, not your untestable opinion."
I'm afraid, you're up for a disappointment. There is no truth. The truth is in the process of searching it.
And thank you for the link.
Nov 20 2012: YEs,
I did cross that "truth" bridge long ago.
My apology for using the word.
We cannot exceed our fields of perception - all thought and belief is merly perception and perception, when it is functioning in a sane manner, seeks to draw closer to "truth" without ever capturing it, or even needing to capture it.
What we DO capture is ways of drawing closer. Yes, truth exists, but for living things, it is the process of following it, adapting to it - and this is the joy of life - the journey.
So. by "truth" I mean "tell me your journey towards truth" - show me the steps that I may follow.
And then, if you give me steps fo smoke - you commit me to a fall and I resent that.
I am resolved to remain a very cranky observer.
I have had enough of the pap and ignorance that people take for knowledge. And I resolve to stop dignifying it.
We need a new word - "truth" is not enough.
I observe that many have interests in widening our proximity from truth - their mouths are all full of "god" and "spirit" and "responsibility" .. but i tell you now:
The mark of a good man is his journey out of darkness. The maps he reveals for all others in darkness is his shining light.
And if he leaves no maps? He has been consumed by his darkness.
We are all consumed in the end, but the only thing that matters is if we have reduced the burden our parents and community placed upon us - as was placed upon them by their parents and community for 25 thousand years.
A good man places a smaller burden on his children than the burden he was violated with as a child..
Now tell me there is no "truth"?
Nov 20 2012: Well said, Mitch.
Re: "A good man places a smaller burden on his children than the burden he was violated with as a child. Now tell me there is no "truth"?"
This is YOUR truth. It's called faith. There is no absolute truth for everyone (except for circularity which says "I am true".)
You say "Faith begone! Give me the truth." You may despise faith, but you need it if you want to get your truth. It may not be faith in God, but without faith, you will be tossed around by the waves of this ocean called life.
Re: "I observe that many have interests in widening our proximity from truth - their mouths are all full of "god" and "spirit" and "responsibility"... We can't live by the faith of others. We need to get our own. We need to ask ourselves "why do I believe?" and if the answer is "because I was told so", throw it away and find your own faith and your own truth.
Nov 20 2012: Again, Alan Watts has a few great quotes:
"To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float."
"And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on."
"Faith is a state of openness or trust."
"But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
"In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all."
To me "state of openness or trust", perhaps, explains it best. It's not clinging to our own ideas, material things, or evidence - it's trust that, when we need it, "it will be given to us" in whatever form, letting go of worry. I'd say, that was my emotional understanding before I read the quotes. The quotes just confirmed that I'm not alone in this understanding.
It's not synonymous to credulity or gullibility. Sometimes faith causes a lot of skepticism to what you see and hear. Just like it does for you.
Nov 20 2012: Ah - so it's almost like "acceptance".
Yes, this makes sense.
I could wish that all had this definition.
I have observed the phenomenon of "providence", but have long since recognised that it comes from the awareness granted by the thing you call faith - the intelligence of the whole. We can become stuck in issues closing-off everything else, and by the local logic of those issues, the big picture truth - and the opportunities that arise from it, are obscured.
Providence can exhibit in very subtle ways - and is the result of choosing the harmonious thread in the chaos - the thread that contains providence.
It is still just causal physics - whether we have the explaination or not. It will be accessible to research if we care to go look.
There is no mystery in the light of awareness - except awareness itself .. and I suspect even that is no more than chaotic flux of entropy gradients.
I thank you for your help.
Nov 20 2012: Hi guys, maybe it is a bit off topic but our definition of faith is "an internal (spiritual/mental) acknowledgment of truth."
And truth is what makes sense to us. If we do not understand something, we cannot see it as truth or have faith in it.
There is real or genuine truth but that is Divine Truth, which is totally beyond human understanding. That's why we have divine Revelation, to at least give us some idea.
That being said, a person's faith is absolutely useless and meaningless if there is no charity (love of the neighbour) present as well. In fact charity without the other is also useless.
In relation to that, we have a will and an understanding. The will is fed by love, the other by truth. Those two in balance and applied to life, create usefulness. But here too, one without the other is useless and makes us non-human.
Our thoughts come from either hell or heaven. We should use our understanding to determine from which source the thoughts came. Then we are hoped to change our will to love and support the thoughts from heaven. That will make us, and this world, better.
Nov 20 2012: Mitch, yes, "acceptance" is another word to describe what I said. Thanks.
I enjoyed this conversation. It's nice to meet a person who is open to listen and understand what others say and mean.
Re: "There is no mystery in the light of awareness - except awareness itself .."
"Self" is always a mystery. "Self" always seems like an exception, but it's not. It's possible to be aware of our awareness in which case it's not much of a mystery. Which is a mystery in itself... :-)
OK. That's enough of that. Rubbish it is...
Nov 20 2012: lol! yes rubbish. talk talk talk.
However, I will promote your definition of faith. I think it is a sound one.
As to the "self"? well, I'm getting a long way down the track with that one - there is much fluff and nonsense attached to it. For now i am happy with the "entropic flux-loop" understanding.
And the work undertaken by Damasio and others has cut away a lot of the confusion there.
Not so much mystery as we would assume!

What used to take 20 minutes now takes a mere five minutes, thanks to Taylor Tesch's easy-to-handle swing hopper protector. At the end of a long day, Tesch says he would spend up to 40 minutes just covering up the swing augers. It took Taylor less than an hour to turn his timesaver into a reality. Taylor farms with his father-in-law, Terry Arnhalt, and they raise corn and soybeans.
Instead of messing with tarps, bungee straps and bricks, I came up with a better idea to cover up the swing hopper when not in use during harvest. I took an old 1,500-gal. water tank and cut it in half. Then I cut out a U-shaped section in the partial water tank so it would slide right over the auger tube. I added four handles to make it easier to maneuver the hopper cover.
As tractors have become bigger and taller through the years, reaching the fuel tank has become more of a challenge. To give me a boost, I added a step using expanded metal to ensure I don't slip. I welded the step to a flat piece of iron and bolted the unit to the tractor weight bracket.

by Spokane Shock
The Spokane Shock announced today that the team will hold an open try-out for its 2012 Dance Team on Saturday, January 7th at 12 PM.
The first-round of the tryouts will be held at the Spokane Shock Center, 3212 North Eden Road, with registration at 11 AM and instruction beginning at noon. After a brief orientation, Dance Team Director Maggie Kazemba will teach the applicants a routine that will be performed in front of a small panel of judges. This round will be closed to the general public.
Those who are selected to advance will be called back for an interview round that will begin on January 8th. The tryouts will conclude with a final round on January 18th.
Preregistration forms are available on spokaneshock.com. Applicants who preregister will be charged $25. Registration will also be accepted on January 7th for $35 at the door. Dancers must be at least 18 years of age by the start of the 2012 season. Previous dance experience and or cheer background is suggested but not required.
Kazemba will be in her fifth season as the Shock's Dance Team Director and has consistently put together one of the top dance teams in the AFL.
"Each year I try to make the team better and better," Kazemba explained. "We are looking for girls who have the whole package – not only are they good dancers, but they are excellent performers and are role models."

Among these green IT projects was the importance of participation from end-users and corporate leaders alike. Generating that support and involvement takes some effort. Aramark, for example, removed a host of personal printers and deployed shared MFPs. That represented a change to which end-users had to adjust -- and which they were more willing to accept when they understood the benefits. "We learned that explaining the business case and the green aspects made people much more accepting of the new processes," said David Kaufman, CIO of Aramark's global food and facility services business.
GlaxoSmithKline engaged users in a mass e-waste cleanup effort through a targeted communications campaign. "We launched an internal marketing and communication campaign two weeks prior to implementation, using all methods and resources available to us to raise awareness. We had posted news articles on the site intranet home page, posters and signs displayed in strategic areas of the building," said Armin Jahromi, GSK's regional service manager for IT user services. "A critical key to successful communication is to get your target to take notice and care."
Keeping end-users informed helps ease the transition, a lesson learned by Rich Avila, director of server operations and system support at California State University East Bay. The school launched a massive virtualization and consolidation effort last year. "We informed our users that over the spring and summer of 2008 we would be migrating their equipment to a virtual server and provided them with specific dates. If there was an objection to the date, operations negotiated a new target date while making it clear to our user groups that we needed their cooperation in helping solve our power and environmental problems," Avila said. "We found overall that users were extremely cooperative and that the transition was pretty painless once the migration was started."
Measure the results
Yet another lesson: Measure and report results to earn that all-important support from end-users, execs, and shareholders. "It's extremely important to capture and report progress metrics," said Maureen O'Donnell, internal controls manager for information solutions at Raytheon's Network Centric Systems business unit. "Metrics reporting was challenging to establish, but had a great impact on culture change because it created enterprise-wide visibility into the significant gains achieved from the sustainability strategy."

Hi everyone – I'm back!! Just got home from a 2-week trip to Poland and it looks like I missed a ton of news while I was away. While I start going through all of my missed comments and e-mails, feel free to fill me in on some highlights in the comments on this post.
Back from Poland
64 Responses to "Back from Poland"
I just went to target at "Atlantic pacific center" in nyc. They had the skateboard kid and drummer shirts. I got the skateboard shirt in a boys large. The material is rougher than tokidoki shirts, guess thats where the price cuts come in.Reply
I went to a target in NYC
they carried the skateboard and drummer ones.
No schooll supplies D:Reply
I think for the price it is great ! $ 7.99 compared to the price of a Tokidoki shirt it's a no brainer ! Did the Target Stores have any signed t-shirts ? Or were the signed shirts an online exclusive only ? I'm curious ?Reply
No signed shirts. Yeah the price good. Just hope they come out with some adult sizes too, as the boys shirts are a bit short.Reply
@ Veronica u got the newsletter? ;O
Yea i think online only carries signed.
The stores doesnt i guess?Reply
Hope you had a great time in Poland!Reply
i went to the targets in Hawaii and no one knew what i was talking about. i asked the lady who was working in the section and then the customer service peoples. is there an item number or something that i can reference the employees to? they also didnt know what an employee newsletter was. help.Reply
Hey everyone. I wanted to let you know that there's a shopping site that offers special sales, kind of like sample sales that last for 24 hrs or more, and they have a tokidoki sale (of the leo and matita bags) coming up. Sometimes they have really great discounts (75-80% off), and sometimes they have really lame ones (30% off), and it's hard to know what the tokidoki sale will be like.
The site is called hautelook.com, and please use my email, firstname.lastname@example.com as your referral.Reply
cinnie- I am having the same problem! They looked at me like I was a mental case when I asked them in the store because they have no idea what I am talking about, and calling them was a joke.
I would rather see them in person that way I know what sizes to get… my little girl wants one too and I have no idea what size she needs in a boys shirt.Reply
The guy i asked thought i was talking about the target weekly ads flyers thingys >_>Reply
my target had all 4 shirt styles. the gray and black for boys and the pink and black ones for girls. the girls shirts are 8.99 and the boys are 7.99.

Keep the umbrella handy this weekend. Scattered showers & t'showers will be off and on today and Sunday.
On Sunday night a strong cold front will be approaching bringing an overnight line of t'storms.
At one time there was a worry of severe weather with this line, and although a few storms could be strong, overall a widespread outbreak of severe weather is not expected.
Notice that the Storm Prediction Center has us in the outline for general t'storm activity, but not in the area for a risk for severe weather.
On Monday, the bottom drops out when the storms pass, BUT light to moderate rain will continue for at least half of the day.
In the rain, temperatures will be falling through the 40s on Monday. Ouch! Back to reality!

Instrumentation and Telemetry
Weapons systems must be proven highly effective and reliable before they are fielded. The Dynetics Modular Instrumentation System (MIS) is a comprehensive suite of solutions for the testing and evaluation of weapons systems. It is highly configurable, compact in size, and cost-effective.
For almost 40 years, Dynetics has been a trusted partner to Department of Defense (DoD) agencies and contractors in undertaking many of the most challenging scientific and engineering problems. This experience has established Dynetics as a leader in weapons systems research and development.
An important part of our work involves providing customers with high-performance instrumentation solutions for test and evaluation of weapons systems. The result of this experience is a comprehensive suite of compact-sized telemetry products that offers an unparalleled combination of reliability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness: the Dynetics MIS.
The primary advantage of the MIS is its configurability for numerous applications, with custom features added to existing designs without the need to redesign the entire system, resulting in time and money savings. Examples of common configurations are the Dynetics Modular Telemetry System (MTS); the Dynetics MIS Data Recorder; and the Dynetics GPS Time, Space, and Position Information (TSPI) Data Recorder System.
- Ruggedized architecture
- No mechanical moving parts
- Flight proven in a range of missile environments
- Compact size affords diverse system integration options
- Modular design permits custom solutions
- Minimal integration time and costs
- Minimal engineering time and costs
Features and Benefits of the MIS
Open Architecture Telemetry and Instrumentation System (OATIS)
Another telemetry application is OATIS, a modular system designed to make, log, and transmit inertial and various other measurements to a ground station. It includes two subsystems: 1) Airborne Payload, with airborne control unit (ACU), RF modem and blade antenna, C-MIGITS III GPS/INS and antenna (optional), and smart sensor nodes; and 2) Ground Station, with ground station server, control panel, moving map display, and strip-charts.
OATIS provides the following benefits to the UAS flight test environment:
- An independent measurement system to assist in evaluating aircraft performance and system functionality
- A flexible data acquisition subsystem (DAS) that allows efficient integration of new sensors as new test measurement requirements are identified
- Situational awareness for the test conductor
- Real-time visualization of measurement data during flight

"I was so amazed at how quick the turn around time was. The quality, picture and information on the card was beautifully made."
"The First Holy Communion card was beautiful. The card stock was heavy, the ink color was really pretty, and the cross was gorgeous. If you like classic, traditional, Crane-type stationery, you will appreciate this card. I was very pleased."
"I love the card and the quality I would have just not choose the light color for the Babies name. You could hardly see it against the back ground"
"Loved the simple & modern design. Color combination was a nice balance. I loved finding a baptism design that was not over done, but clean. Even the font was fitting for the style of the card."
"I will not deny that there are a lot of designs on the site that, to me, are just simply over the top. This card was just what I was looking for in a baptism invitation/announcement. The paper quality, color scheme, and simplicity of the design is what I love! Not only is the product excellent but the customer service is wonderful! As I was working on my product, I was speaking with a rep through live chat and she assisted me through the whole process. When family call to rsvp, they always comment on the beautiful invitation they received. Thanks Tiny Prints!!"

"A Most Compelling Wildlife Story"
See on Scoop.it - Cayo Scoop! Best of Cayo's E-Mag.
See on facebook.com
Roni Martinez has a touching story, that was timed perfectly with the opening of the Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic. They got a call about a captive Spider monkey that was abused, and near death. After the ceremony, the monkey was confiscated, and Roni was there to document it.
"The Human race; A species capable of great compassion, and great destruction. I had always seen wildlife medicine from a different angle, not knowing what ALL it entails. Not fully understanding the hardships and setbacks, or the expense and the complications. After the inauguration of the BWRC on Friday October 19th, I had the life changing experience of living a day with Belize's TOP wildlife vets. This, changed forever the way I look at wildlife medicine."

In order to show different spatial data type to different clients; Can I dynamically (program) to create a fusion Application Definition? I really need this function works.
An ApplicationDefinition is just an XML document pointed to by a resource id.
Both of which you can customize and/or override before the Fusion viewer ever gets its hands on it.
So you would build the specific ApplicationDefinition XML document based on your client's id, save it out into a session-based resource id, and feed that resource id into your Fusion template URL so it gets initialized with your client-specific ApplicationDefinition
- Jackie
It's a very good idea. But I cannot find the where is the fusion Application Definition file stored, or where is my layout folder is when I create it using Studio or Maestro. Thank you.
