Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West; but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body ? This first we ought to determine.Sri Aurobindo
It used to be said, that in places like this, nature eventually failed to support man, the truth is exactly the reverse, here man failed to support nature. Ten thousand years ago man regarded the natural world as divine, but as he domesticated animals and plants so nature lost some of its mystery and appeared to be little more than a larder that could be raided with impunity.Sir David Frederick Attenborough
The Infinite alone justifies the existence of the finite and the finite by itself has no entirely separate value or independent existence. Life, if it is not an illusion, is a divine Play, a manifestation of the glory of the Infinite. Or it is a means by which the soul growing in Nature through countless forms and many lives can approach, touch, feel and unite itself through love and knowledge and faith and adoration and a Godward will in works with this transcendent Being and this infinite Existence. This Self or this self-existent Being is the one supreme reality, and all things else are either only appearances or only true by dependence upon it. It follows that self-realisation and God-realisation are the great business of the living and thinking human being. All life and thought are in the end a means of progress towards self-realisation and God-realisation.Sri Aurobindo
Nothing in the many processes of Nature, whether she deals with men or with things, comes by chance or accident or is really at the mercy of external causes.Sri Aurobindo
The whole world yearns after freedom, yet each creature is in love with his chains; this is the first paradox and inextricable knot of our nature.Sri Aurobindo
Our truest nature is to help others, and to protect and love them. We care about others, and delight in seeing others happy and safe.Bryant McGill
We all know the true nature of the human soul, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back.Bryant McGill
Nature is the supreme cradle of life, and must be protected and treated with the highest respect and care.Bryant McGill
Command the space of your beingness a space where you are allowed to grow into your true, unique nature.Bryant McGill
We must be kind and gentle gardeners with people and nature.Bryant McGill
If thou art sailing upon the sea of Gods Names, which are reflected in all things, know thou that He is exalted and sanctified from being known through His creatures, or being described by His servants. Everything thou beholdest hath been called into being through the operation of His Will. How can such a created thing, therefore, be indicative of His essential oneness? Gods existence in itself testifieth to His Own oneness, while every created thing, by its very nature, beareth evidence that it hath been fashioned by God. Such is the proof of consummate wisdom in the estimation of those who sail the ocean of divine Truth.The Bab
Fall colors are funny. They're so bright and intense and beautiful. It's like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.Siobhan Vivian
I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?Edward Giobbi
Since my logic aims to teach and instruct the understanding, not that it may with the slender tendrils of the mind snatch at and lay hold of abstract notions (as the common logic does), but that it may in very truth dissect nature, and discover the virtues and actions of bodies, with their laws as determined in matter; so that this science flows not merely from the nature of the mind, but also from the nature of things.Francis Bacon
Another argument of hope may be drawn from this that some of the inventions already known are such as before they were discovered it could hardly have entered any man's head to think of; they would have been simply set aside as impossible. For in conjecturing what may be men set before them the example of what has been, and divine of the new with an imagination preoccupied and colored by the old; which way of forming opinions is very fallacious, for streams that are drawn from the springheads of nature do not always run in the old channels.Francis Bacon
The human understanding is of its own nature prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds. And though there be many things in nature which are singular and unmatched, yet it devises for them parallels and conjugates and relatives which do not exist. Hence the fiction that all celestial bodies move in perfect circles, spirals and dragons being (except in name) utterly rejected.Francis Bacon
The Idols of Tribe have their foundation in human nature itself, and in the tribe or race of men. For it is a false assertion that the sense of man is the measure of things. On the contrary, all perceptions as well of the sense as of the mind are according to the measure of the individual and not according to the measure of the universe. And the human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.Francis Bacon
Further, it will not be amiss to distinguish the three kinds and, as it were, grades of ambition in mankind. The first is of those who desire to extend their own power in their native country, a vulgar and degenerate kind. The second is of those who labor to extend the power and dominion of their country among men. This certainly has more dignity, though not less covetousness. But if a man endeavor to establish and extend the power and dominion of the human race itself over the universe, his ambition (if ambition it can be called) is without doubt both a more wholesome and a more noble thing than the other two. Now the empire of man over things depends wholly on the arts and sciences. For we cannot command nature except by obeying her.Francis Bacon
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.Francis Bacon
Man, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or in thought of the course of nature. Beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.Francis Bacon
Those who have taken upon them to lay down the law of nature as a thing already searched out and understood, whether they have spoken in simple assurance or professional affectation, have therein done philosophy and the sciences great injury. For as they have been successful in inducing belief, so they have been effective in quenching and stopping inquiry; and have done more harm by spoiling and putting an end to other men's efforts than good by their own. Those on the other hand who have taken a contrary course, and asserted that absolutely nothing can be known whether it were from hatred of the ancient sophists, or from uncertainty and fluctuation of mind, or even from a kind of fullness of learning, that they fell upon this opinion have certainly advanced reasons for it that are not to be despised; but yet they have neither started from true principles nor rested in the just conclusion, zeal and affectation having carried them much too far.... Now my method, though hard to practice, is easy to explain; and it is this. I propose to establish progressive stages of certainty. The evidence of the sense, helped and guarded by a certain process of correction, I retain. But the mental operation which follows the act of sense I for the most part reject; and instead of it I open and lay out a new and certain path for the mind to proceed in, starting directly from the simple sensuous perception.Francis Bacon
The use of this feigned history hath been to give some shadow of satisfaction to the mind of man in those points wherein the nature of things doth deny it, the world being in proportion inferior to the soul; by reason whereof there is, agreeable to the spirit of man, a more ample greatness, a more exact goodness, and a more absolute variety, than can be found in the nature of things. Therefore, because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical: because true history propoundeth the successes and issues of actions not so agreeable to the merits of virtue and vice, therefore poesy feigns them more just in retribution, and more according to revealed providence: because true history representeth actions and events more ordinary, and less interchanged, therefore poesy endueth them with more rareness, and more unexpected and alternative variations: so as it appeareth that poesy serveth and conferreth to magnanimity, morality, and to delectation. And therefore it was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind, by submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind; whereas reason doth buckle and bow the mind into the nature of things.Francis Bacon
I confess that I have as vast contemplative ends, as I have moderate civil ends: for I have taken all knowledge to be my province; and if I could purge it of two sorts of rovers, whereof the one with frivolous disputations, confutations, and verbosities, the other with blind experiments and auricular traditions and impostures, hath committed so many spoils, I hope I should bring in industrious observations, grounded conclusions, and profitable inventions and discoveries; the best state of that province. This, whether it be curiosity, or vain glory, or nature, or (if one take it favourably) philanthropia, is so fixed in my mind as it cannot be removed. And I do easily see, that place of any reasonable countenance doth bring commandment of more wits than of a man's own; which is the thing I greatly affect.Francis Bacon
Carbon dioxide, Mister Speaker, is a natural byproduct of nature. Carbon dioxide is natural. It occurs in Earth. It is a part of the regular lifecycle of Earth. In fact, life on planet Earth can't even exist without carbon dioxide. So necessary is it to human life, to animal life, to plant life, to the oceans, to the vegetation that's on the Earth, to the, to the fowl that that flies in the air, we need to have carbon dioxide as part of the fundamental lifecycle of Earth...There isn't one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas. Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful. It is part of Earth's life cycle...And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural substance and reduce the American standard of living to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occuring in the earth.Michele Bachmann

TIME TO END THE ISLAMOPHBIA.What happened in Norway is so sorrowful. Why did it happen? what is the solution of this problem?
The Islamophobia !!!!! WOW
Am I Frightening to that extent just because I am muslim ???
the next Halloween I will dress a t-thirt written on it" Iam muslim" !!!
When somebody kills innocent people just because he doesn't want people become muslims ,that situation becomes very dangerous
I think that ignorance about islam makes some people hate and become afraid from a peaceful religion
I think also that western governments play a major role in spreading the islamophobia through the media, wars"war in iraq and afghanistan",holywood films......etc
I think also the spacing between cultures,interests and the retardation of the Arab world have their impact
in other words the difference between the developed western world and the developing islamic world make an inferiority view to the islamic world and people in the west think that islam mean inferiority and old concepts"islam is an old age religion"
Let's change that condition by spreading 'LOVE ISLAM :)" inesated the "ISLAMOPHOBIA" that lead to terrorism and dangerous concepts
I hope I see the west as in EGYPT my home the home of the revolution when we said "muslim ,christian one hand"
we want to cooperate for making world more peaceful,beautiful,prosperous
and that done by uniting not hate
AL SLAAM ALIKUM "peace on you "

Earl ShoopJul 31 2011: I cannot explain what happened in Norway. Perhaps a nut case, with no concern for others, was greedy for attention. Since he is likely to be locked away for many years, we may someday know his true motivations
Does "ISLAMOPHOBIA" actually exist? Phobias are irrational fears. If I fear that the moon is going to fall on my house, you would agree, with most others, that my fear is irrational.
After 9-11, and so many other attacks on civilians around the world, it would be irrational to believe that there is no cause for fear. If members of this peaceful religion do not call for an end to such attacks, we are left with reason to suspect that most Muslims endorse the killings of infidels.
Could it be that there is no such peace movement because peaceful Muslims fear for their own safety? Would it be an irrational fear?
These realities (and many more) need to be considered in order to give ourselves a chance to understand, and be at peace with, each other. May you receive these thoughts with the compassion that I send them, and may we have true peace and love among all people.
Aug 1 2011: Mr,Earl
well, I agree with all your thoughts
I can't deny the facts
yes,there are some muslims that consider you an infidel and they take it enough reason to kill and to kill onther muslim if he stop them
I divide muslims into 4 groups
the first don't care about religion and try to mimics the west culture and he is peaceful
the second understand islamic rules rightly so he behave well ,he takes what he feels appropriate from other culture like the west and he is peaceful and religious like me :)
the third is tough , he understand islam with quiet toughness, he is very religious and peaceful
the fourth is very very tough and understand islam incorrectly to the degree he become terrorist and dangerous
the fourth type is the problem, he discredit islam so people see islam is horrible ,irrational ,violent
and that one of the biggest causes of islamophobia ,although islam is a very peaceful loving religion
your fear is a rational but when your fear is to the bad muslims not to the religion itself
every religion and every area have bad guys , terrorism has no religion
I feel your thoughts and really want love and peace spread among all people ,that's why I started this conversation ,
thank you ,
each year and you are good on the occasion of Ramadan
al slaam alikum
sorry for my english :D
Aug 1 2011: Something else to consider is that since there is no "Pope" or central figure responsible for sharing a central message, who is to say which of your 4 groups that you describe will grow into power the fastest. It appears that the most radical groups in history get the most media coverage and therefore the biggest voice to spread their message.
The vast majority of Westerners can not understand the idea of martyrdom. We see this act as completely irrational due to not being able to understand it. Many think that only a brain washed individual would be capable of going through with such an act. Westerners are taught that we can not rationalize with an irrational mind.
The ideas of Abrogation and Taqiyya threaten Westerners. We are told that many Muslims are taught that "The Verse of the Sword" is an abrogating verse and basically nullifies the peaceful verses. Even if only 5% of Muslims believe this, that works out to at least 7.5 million Muslims that view a single war verse as more important than over 120 peace verses. Taqiyya gives Muslims the "Holy License" to lie to their enemy to protect them and their religion, so even if only 5% of Muslims feel that non Muslims are their enemy, that number is in the millions.
Sharia is another concept that Westerners can't understand. Most Westerners view Sharia Law as something that was created in the Middle Ages and should have been left in the Middle Ages. The concept of a man being allowed to beat his wife if she does not follow his orders or even kill her if he catches her cheating on him (yet she has can not do either to him) is not understandable to Westerners. We don't understand death by stoning. Death for Apostasy is seen as completely irrational. Fatwas being issued by Muslim clerics are often viewed as a danger to any Westerner who might choose to use our freedom of speech to disagree with Mohammed or Islam.
Islam is judged by the fruit it bears. Westerners are scared by the rotten fruit.
Aug 2 2011: Mr,Jason
sorry for delay,
i was quite busy and your comment needs to be attentive
Frist,we have no Pope because our central figure is not a any person could die at any time and changes to onther with changes in thoughts and affected by personal life,pressure from outside,policy,he can have concepts different from his former
our central figure is Quran,Hadith,Tafsir for the major 4 emams and other famous emams
those are stable and for all times, stable doesn't mean rigid
for example, we are praying 5 times a day, never becomes 4
we don't need Pope because every muslim is Pope
what is the different between you and a Pope ,he doesn't have anything more than you
you have a brain ,hands ,feets as him!!!!!
why don't you contact god directly???
every muslim calls god directly and god listen and responds to him.
what s the special in Pope to call god and the others don't??
the fouth group is the famous yeah,
that's the problem of your media,the west media always focus on bad things of muslims to be along with its policy.
has its impact yeah,
Always Evil is like that. when you plant a tree and care for it it grows slowly for years and its impact is not obvious but when you cut a tree the impact appears
and I tries now to make the good muslims appear.
second, martyrdom isn't suicide
martyrdom is a great thing has relation to jihad that I think the west understand it wrong
when you fight against an invader that occupy your country or you fight for freedom,and against Injustice,Corruption,Persecution,,,,,etc
and if you die during that it's called martyrdom
that is completely different from suicide bombers and all that madness
Third,Quran is one thing and can't be divided,doesn't contrary with it self
the verse of sword to the criminals,the Oppressors,corrupt
the verse of peace to all even the former if they become good or they want peace
and if you look in the islamic history you will see that clearly.
I will complete in other comment
Aug 2 2011: Mr,Jason
the arabian word"التقوي" is pronounced taqwa
it's on google translate "Piety"
I don't understand ""to lie to their enemy to protect them and thier religion"
fouth, the concept that islam or sharia or tafsir is created in themiddle ages is wrong
actually christianty is older than islam
Jesus is older than Muhammad
it doesn't make sense, the principles whatever how old are they for all times
the moon is the moon it will be the moon in the future
the chair is chair and it will be chair,it will not be a table and it is always used for sitting!!!!!
the middle ages you say when the muslims were the greatest and the west was in the ages of retardation and the islamic
they were like america now
because they actually follow the sharia carefully!!
if we follow it carefully rightly we will become excellent
but we left it or part of it so we are now weak, miserable
well I will complete in anther time ,
but i don't like the last statement
you have the right to speak what you want but politely
we respect each other respect the religion of the other ,talk freely but respectfully
respectability is a principle i and you should aware and behave
Islam is a divine religion that you should respect !!!!

AHRQ spotlights programs that reduce diabetes disparities through peer support
The Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ) Health Care Innovations Exchange features profiles of programs that used peer support to improve the outcomes of vulnerable patient populations, especially African Americans.
One such program at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center paired African American veterans with diabetes who had their blood glucose under control with African-American veterans whose blood glucose was not controlled. After the mentors completed a one-hour training session, they telephoned or met with their assigned patients on a regular basis over a six-month period to help them address challenges such as diet, exercise and insulin use. The program significantly reduced blood glucose levels and generated a positive reaction from many participants.
The AHRQ website offers additional information about initiatives such as this, providing more than 700 searchable innovations and 1,500 quality tools.
Email the AMA Minority Affairs Section if you have a project or idea that could help prevent health disparities or leads to heightened awareness.

Fort Worth-based RadioShack saw its stock increase as much as 45 percent on Friday as investor Standard General LP said it was continuing talks on new financing for the electronics retailer.
A Fort Worth couple who started a business when they couldn't sleep, were the first entrepreneurs to get a deal on ABC's Shark Tank in the season premiere on Sept. 26.
There are 20 Dallas-Fort Worth residents listed among the 400 richest Americans, according to the Forbes 400 list of The Richest People in America 2014.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — An internal audit by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reveals the agency mismanaged an experiment using new ways to demolish asbestos-ridden buildings.
Texas Wesleyan University has purchased two strip shopping centers on East Rosedale Street across from its Southeast Fort Worth campus, the university's president said Friday.
JIM VERTUNO, AP Sports Writer
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson is leaving the Sun Devils for Texas, where he will take over the wealthiest athletic department in the country and a program facing serious questions about the job security of its football and men's basketball coaches as well as its president.
Patterson accepted an offer from Texas on Tuesday after interviewing for the job over the weekend. West Virginia's Oliver Luck had reportedly been the leading candidate, but it will instead be Patterson who succeeds DeLoss Dodds, who is stepping down at Texas after 32 years.
"Steve Patterson emerged as the perfect candidate to build on Texas' athletic success and DeLoss Dodds' legacy," Texas President Bill Powers said.
Patterson's hiring must still be approved the University of Texas System Board of Regents, which meets Nov. 12-13, but that step is considered likely. The search panel included two regents, Steve Hicks and Robert Stillwell, who are the board's athletics liaisons. Powers' office said Patterson would be introduced as a news conference later this week.
Patterson's most immediate questions at Texas likely center on the future of the football coach Mack Brown, men's basketball coach Rick Barnes, and a potential federal civil rights lawsuit from former women's track coach Bev Kearney, who was forced to resign in January after revelations a previous relationship with one of her athletes.
He also comes to Austin at a time when his new boss is also fighting for his job. Powers has tangled with the regents in recent years over tuition and graduation rates and other issues, and has a thin majority of support on the nine-member board. State lawmakers are investigating whether to impeach one regent over attempts to force Powers out.
Dodds and Powers have been Brown's staunchest allies through three consecutive sub-par seasons for the storied Texas football program. Brown faced intense criticism and renewed speculation about his job security when Texas started 1-2, but the Longhorns are on a five-game winning streak and in first place in the Big 12.
The men's basketball program opens its season Friday night at home against Mercer. The Longhorns had their first losing season in 15 years under Barnes last year and haven't made it past the first weekend of the NCAA tournament in five years.
Texas began its job search last month when Dodds announced he would leave by Aug. 31, 2014. Dodds had said he would stay in the job until his replacement was found, but would step aside into an advising role once that person got to campus.
Patterson, 55, has been Arizona State athletic director only since March 2012 and had previously been responsible for the school's athletics business operations and facilities. Patterson has deep Texas ties: He got his undergraduate and law degrees at Texas, and had executive jobs with the Houston Texans in the NFL and the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA.
"Steve helped build an NBA championship team and brought the Super Bowl game to Houston. Far more important, he's run a winning program at Arizona State that places students first and is committed to their lifelong success," Powers said.
Arizona State President Michael M. Crow said senior Vice President James Rund would serve as the Sun Devil's interim athletic director. Crow said he understood Patterson's desire to return to Texas and wished him well.
"During his stay at ASU, Steve Patterson has positioned Sun Devil athletics to continue its forward momentum well into the future," Crow said. "He first became involved with ASU three years ago to put the university's athletic department on a sound financial footing and that is exactly what he has done."

Occupy Unmasked explains a great deal about the "Peace movement" back in the days of hippies and flower children. Like now, they were used by the communists to undermine our country. It resulted in millions of Vietnamese people being slaughtered by the North Vietnamese and no word from the left about soldiers 'killing babies' then. I personally knew a young women who was a small child when we 'booked'...she spoke about how she and her family were 'boat people' and struggled to get away from the North Vietnam communists and unlike many, were successful. She was a brilliant loverly girl... how many like here were lost because of 'useful idiots' in this country?

San Jose Auditor's Office
The mission of the Office of the City Auditor is to independently assess and report on San Jose's city government operations and services. To fulfill this mission, our office's 13 auditors conduct performance audits that identify ways to strengthen public accountability, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of City government, and provide independent, reliable, accurate, and timely information to the City Council, the general public, and other stakeholders.
Our audits cover the full spectrum of City activities, including but not limited to police and fire operations, libraries, parks, housing and urban development, retirement administration, performance management, financial management, and utility services.
Our office is at San Jose's City Hall, which is accessible by CalTrain and VTA bus. Questions may be directed to Ali McInnis '12, email@example.com or Minh Dan Vuong '11, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Official Website: www.sanjoseca.gov/auditor/
Potential Projects
As intern, you will gain exposure to the breadth of local government work, while helping the City Auditor achieve its critically important mission.
The intern will work with auditors and assist them by conducting specific audit tests and providing support for complex audit procedures. The intern should be prepared to work at least 10 hours per week. While the exact work schedule can be negotiated at the beginning of Spring Quarter, we strongly prefer a regular schedule and the intern's presence at our office. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am through 5 pm.
Performance audits vary in both size and scope and may include: determining whether a City department or program is operating in the most economical and efficient manner possible; assessing whether the program is meeting its stated goals and objectives; and testing for compliance with laws and regulations. During our audits, we generally:
- Analyze complex operations, financial and organizational issues; evaluate alternatives and reach sound, logical, fact-based conclusions and recommendations.
- Collect, evaluate and interpret myriad data, either in statistical or narrative form.
- Assess risk and evaluate internal controls designed to mitigate those risks.
- Research, understand, interpret and apply federal, state and local laws, regulations and court decisions.
As intern, you will contribute to our office's audit recommendations on how the City can improve its operations, save money, and deliver better services to the residents of San José.
For example, previous SIG summer fellows evaluated alternative staffing models for the police department, analyzed the airport's public safety performance in the wake of staffing cuts, and assessed library hours and programs.
Desired Qualifications
If you have a desire to make an impact in our City and see the results of your work, have a natural curiosity and strong analytical and communication skills, you are the type of candidate we are interested in. We are looking for:
- Demonstrated ability to work well in a team environment; professionalism and maturity for formal and informal situations
- Clear, concise and convincing writing; ability to summarize complex ideas and data, and prepare presentations including appropriate graphic displays
- Ability to interview City staff and industry experts to gather information
- Comfort working in a variety of settings and with new and often complex government operations
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel
- Previous work experience in a professional/office environment
- Preference for rising juniors and seniors and for those with a career interest in government service
Students of all majors are encouraged to apply, but main disciplines include public policy, economics, political science, management science and engineering, and related fields.

What's killing NASDAQ Mark?
To answer your question, it is Banksters from Pluto invading Uranus.
Gus said it right ……. SEC needs to rein in machines or else mkt will loose long term investors forever. This is for whoever long term people left. I see it dead since 2007
Why is this given credibility with the big headline? A kindergartner could draw these charts.
George, it's more like what's not killing Nasdaq? Momentum trades are getting dumped for whatever reason (hedge fund meltdown, end-of-quarter rebalancing), Chinese tech stocks are reportedly under (more) investigation, China's economy is slowing down, and then there are those Banksters from Pluto.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Jeremy Hill rushed for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown, and No. 6 LSU rallied from an early deficit to beat No. 20 Texas A&M 24-19 at Kyle Field on Saturday.
Michael Ford also had a touchdown run and Zach Mettenberger threw a TD pass to Kadron Boone for the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference).
A&M (5-2, 2-2) outplayed the Tigers for much of the first half and led 12-0. But the Aggies gave away two costly turnovers just before halftime, and Boone's diving catch in the end zone with 11 seconds left put LSU up 14-12 at the break. Hill finished off A&M with a 47-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Johnny Manziel, A&M's dual-threat quarterback, completed 29 of 56 passes for 276 yards, but threw three interceptions.

It has been a busy summer with many Friday and Saturday visitors and several groups during the week. The animals are all growing and doing well. We plan to get the summer newsletter out in the next couple of weeks, and are preparing for the Pioneer Living Day on September 27.
The summer is going well.
Opening May 2, 2014
An Agricultural Timeline is new this year. It relates the history of agriculture to other historical events.
All the baby animals are here and ready for your visit.
Spring at the farm
Spring is here when the baby animals start arriving. Our one and only baby calf arrived on Monday. His name is Patrick. It has been a long cold winter, but we are starting to get things cleaned up and ready for our May 2 opening. Plans are in the works for getting the other baby animals.
Winter projects
We just mailed our fall fundraising newsletter. Other projects include continuing to work on an agricultural timeline and doing an inventory of the cataloged items.
Pioneer Living Day June 22
Open and ready for your visit.
The snow and rain have greened things up and the museum is open and ready for your visit. Muffins and Bisquit (the lambs) are doing fine, and our new Cocoa (a little Jersey heifer) is learning to be lead around. We have six Molten Java chickens along with the four Buff Orpington chicks. Come check them out.
Opening May 3
We are getting a wonderful Spring snow storm. It has been very dry, so the moisture is very welcome. It is slowing down the process of getting things cleaned up and ready to open, but still should be ready for the two teacher open houses April 25 and 27. The spring newsletter is ready to mail and the Special Events are being planned.
We got four baby chicks last week and the turkeys should arrive tomorrow. They will join the baby calf that is about a month old.
Intern from CSU
We are working with an intern from Colorado State University this winter. One project is helping with some grant writing for the restroom funding. She is also writing a children's tour guide and working on an agricultural history time line.
November 23rd, 2012
It has been several weeks since the Vintage Base Ball Game. It was a fun day with the Buzzards winning 22 to 14. The Northern Colorado Model A Club brought some of their cars and even gave rides. Thank you to all that took part and made it a good day.
We had hard frost last weekend so the garden is about done, but there is still time to come visit before the end of the month.

As I walked by myself,
And talked to myself,
Myself said unto me:
"Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee."
I answered myself,
And said to myself
In the selfsame repartee:
"Look to thyself,
Or not look to thyself,
The selfsame thing will be."
Over the water, and over the sea,
And over the water to Charley,
I'll have none of your nasty beef,
Nor I'll have none of your barley;
But I'll have some of your very best flour
To make a white cake for my Charley.
To make your candles last for aye,
You wives and maids give ear-O!
To put them out's the only way,
Says honest John Boldero.
Tommy's tears and Mary's fears
Will make them old before their years.
There were once two cats of Kilkenny.
Each thought there was one cat too many;
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails,
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
He used to wear a long brown coat
All buttoned down before.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
Black within and red without;
Four corners round about.
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home!
Your house is on fire, your children all gone,
All but one, and her name is Ann,
And she crept under the pudding pan.
There was a man and he had naught,
And robbers came to rob him;
He crept up to the chimney pot,
And then they thought they had him.
But he got down on t'other side,
And then they could not find him;
He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days,
And never looked behind him.

Tokyo Report
Home Heating Appliances in Japan
by Wasaku Ishida, Japan Correspondent, and president, JARN (Japan Air Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News)
Home comfort appliance producers in Japan are increasingly promoting heat pumps for use as a heating appliance as well as an air-conditioning appliance. The heating capabilities of heat pump air-conditioners are being enhanced for this application.
Also gaining popularity in Japan is floor heating, which uses hot water to circulate the heat. A room air-conditioner (RAC) that is equipped with a water heating function is used to generate the hot water. Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric Corp. (Melco) are major producers of these systems. Toshiba Carrier recently joined the market by developing a RAC with a water heating function.
Kerosene space heater shipments are expected to hold steady from fiscal 2004 and 2005. According to the Japan Industrial Association of Gas & Oil Appliances, 3.27 million kerosene space heaters were shipped during the 2004 fiscal year (April 2004 to March 2005). This reflects a 5-percent decrease from 2003. Shipments of kerosene space heaters have seen a gradual downturn in recent years since recording shipments of 4.03 million units in 2000, and they are predicted to stay flat, shipping 3.23 million units, in fiscal 2005. In terms of value, the market size is holding steady at 45 billion yen to 50 billion yen (approx. U.S. $373 million to $414 million).
Corona released 21 models of kerosene space heaters, including the HiX high-end heater equipped with a "deodorizing shutter" on the hot-air discharge port. The shutter closes fully when the unit extinguishes its fire, to confine odors within the heater. By increasing its product offering, the company is striving to secure more than a 40-percent share of the total market for this season.
Toyotomi launched seven fan-driven kerosene heater models engineered to realize higher safety and energy-saving features by means of a new control system that uses the world's first "person perception sensor." The sensor causes the heater to automatically shift to a lower level of combustion when it detects no human presence for about 10 minutes.
Hot water room heaters offered by Fujitsu General and other manufacturers are drawing attention. Because the heaters produce hot water from an outdoor unit and circulate it through the indoor heat exchanger, the units are said to avoid causing room air pollution and indoor exhaust gas odor. Sales are estimated at 30,000 units in 2005 and 29,000 units in 2004.

UWM Comes Up Short In France
Aug. 28, 2003
RUEIL, France - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee fought back from an eight-point deficit over the final four minutes of regulation to force overtime before falling, 112-108, to Rueil of France Thursday night.
The Panthers trailed 91-83 with 3:45 left, but a Joah Tucker basket with 2:40 remaining pulled UWM within three at 93-90. The deficit was still three with 34 seconds left but a single free throw by Chris Hill and two free throws by Tucker brought the Panthers even to force extra time.
In the overtime period, the Panthers tied the game again on a Hill three with 48 seconds left. But Rueil converted on two free throws, sandwiched around an intentional foul call, before scoring a dunk to end the game and provide for the final margin.
Dylan Page scored 21 points to lead UWM, despite again being saddled by foul trouble.Tucker scored 20 points, with 18 coming after halftime, while Hill added 19.
"This is my fourth trip overseas with a college team. Each time the experience propelled us to do things in the regular season that might not have been possible without the experience," UWM head coach Bruce Pearl said. "We continued to show great character by battling back. Every player on this trip contributed."
The Panthers trailed much of the night in the tiny gym outside of Paris. UWM trailed by 12 at halftime and was still down nine late in the third quarter before starting to rally. Kalombo Kadima's three with 7:20 remaining in the fourth period originally brought UWM within one before Rueil again expanded its lead, setting the stage for the Panthers' late comeback.
UWM finished 3-3 on the trip.

1) We do not hold to Covenantal Theology in the same sense as those who hold to a single covenant in which there is no distinction between Israel and the Church, circumcision and Baptism, etc.
2) We do not follow John Calvin the man, nor any institution that happens to bear his name.
3) We do not hold Reformed Theology as a system in the same place as Scripture.
4) We are not Amillennial or Post Millennial in Eschatology.
We would identify ourselves by affirming the following points of doctrine:
1) We hold to a distinction in all of the Covenants in Scripture (Noaic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, etc.) and a distinction between the future of ethnic Israel as an elect nation and the Church (though the spiritually elect are one body e.g. Eph 3). We believe that the Sovereign Decree of God brings about all of these things for His glory.
2) We believe Calvin and many other great teachers of the Christian faith are right insofar as their teachings properly represent the Bible.
3) We hold to the doctrine of election and predestination as an independent choice of God from before the beginning of time to form a people for Himself in His redemptive plan.
4) We are Premillennial in Eschatology and see the elect Bride of Christ ruling with Him in the 1000 year period following His return.

Honey Pie
For some reason Canadian honey doesn't look like American honey. The packaging I mean. I'm not sure where someone gets Canadian honey in the US. Maybe it was smuggled across the border. Anyway that's what it looks like. Very exotic. Oh, and by the way, Happy New Year.

An Israeli inventor has built a bicycle out of cardboard, a fully operational bicycle that will sell for only $20.
The inventor, Izhar Gafni, believes the bike could be a boon to the world's most traffic-congested cities and help people in remote parts of the Third World get from place to place. He's reached a deal to start mass production in a few months, Gafni tells Reuters.
How did he do it? As Reuters says, "once the shape has been formed and cut, the cardboard is treated with a secret concoction made of organic materials to give it its waterproof and fireproof qualities. In the final stage, it is coated with lacquer paint for appearance."
This video posted by Gadizmo helps explain more about how the bike is built, and shows it in action.

We love taking our dog on walks and if your small pooch enjoys creeks, would gladly bring yours.

Will I be able to upgrade via dash if I use 1.5 RC1 ?
If I manually install 1.5 RC1, will I be notified and be able to update normally/successfully via the dashboard when 1.5 is released?
Since 1.2.11 is in the works, I'm assuming 1.5 isn't going to be released anytime soon.
A bit confused why BP RC isn't installable via the dashboard while bbpress RC is.
New to the WP/BP world, learning.

Birds Eye releases 'mashtags' social spud snacks
Frozen food outfit Birds Eye has released a new product called "mashtags", processed potato snacks in the shape of characters often used online. The new product hasn't yet made it to Birds Eye's web site in the USA or UK, but we're willing to guess the new product is closely related to the Potato Waffles from the UK site. Those …
Today's menu
Should go well with some P-code and #deadbeef. Maybe followed by tea (or java) and cake (Raspberry Pi was too obvious)
Re: Today's menu
Meet C001D00D outside the 000FF1CE and head the the place where CAFEBABE with B16B00B5 works. FEEDFACE and drink 1CEDC0FE but don't get a D15EA5E from eating BAADF00D or DEADBEEF. Post a 5E11F1EE of yourself next to the 1CEB00DA to FACEB00C. Then get back to work, crank up the headphones to max DEC1BE11, and write BAADC0DE for AD0BEC57.
Re: Today's menu
Is it just me, or did anyone else spend a few minutes trying to mentally turn your hex into ASCII, before realising what you had actually written?
Nice one.
Re: Today's menu
That's just you. Weirdo.
Re: Today's menu
Nope. Realised what he'd done straight away - anyone else used to play "give the novell netware network a funny IPX number"?
Re: Today's menu
Okay, I understood all of those but one... what's an 1CEB00DA?
...Unless the CAFE has an ice sculpture of the Buddha, but that seems unlikely.
..combined with alphabet soup could turn a person into a troll at the dinner table...
Re: Mashtags....
I stopped eating alphabet soup after finding bse in mine.
Re: Mashtags....
mmm mashtags and alphabetti spaghetti would make a delicious if trashy and unhealthy meal. can't wait for these to land in Tesco's freezers.
Will they include some common #hashtags like #yolo, #swag, #suchwonder?
Re: Mashtags....
You forgot #JustSaying
Re: Mashtags....
"I stopped eating alphabet soup after finding bse in mine."
It could have been worse... just be thankful you didn't find poop!
Re: Mashtags....
@NW Cynic
The g is superfluous. #justsayin
Re: Mashtags....
I assume that the smiley is actually #innocentface ?
'Healthy and Educational'
Another 'Healthy Processed Food' that can be fed to the younger generations and along with a plate of Alphabetti Spagetti, can be educational.
Re: 'Healthy and Educational'
"Made with Real Potatoes!"
As opposed to imaginary, or integer potatoes?
Re: 'Healthy and Educational'
Last time I checked, integers are real.
Old news; potato waffles were actually supposed to be punched cards...
as advertised
Bird's Eye potato waffles are waffley versatile
Are leftovers are fully RFC 1149 compatible?
Re: Leftovers
They are mashed with salt so they would be very secure.
Re: Leftovers
Assuming no one retrieves them from the recycle bin.
"Then he ate the evidence"
How long before some kid gets taken to court for spelling-out something on his/her dinner-plate which a third-party finds threatening harrassing or offensive?
Secure food
The offering from Bird's Eye is salted and hashed, well mashed.
Just as well they ddin't include a mashkey with it.
I think a 3-D printer company...
should add a potato nozzle and we could eat those incriminating e-mails rather that shred them.
Eat what you tweet!
Perhaps Microsoft should do a wing-dings version?
Re: I think a 3-D printer company...
Shredded tweet?
I suggested a long time ago they make different smilies
But now they've made a stupid hashtag thing? Jesus.
I wanted some different expressions to stab with my fork! Not a hash or an at sign.
Oh great...
... so now not only will we get pictures of people's dinner on Failbook, they'll be hashtagging their mashtags too!
A similar product (minus the Twitter wannabeism) already exists, McCain "Smiles." It's basically just a dense mashed potato mix extruded into smiley face disc shapes, par-fried and frozen. Birds Eye is apparently doing the same thing with new shapes.
The "Smiles" product, after cooking, ends up kind of like tater tots but somewhat denser. They're ok, I guess. Small children seem to like them, so I suppose Birds Eye was thinking about six year olds entering the kitchen, Android phone in hand, requesting a meal of chicken fingers and hash tags.
special offer...
....comes with lots of free cookies and some junk mail in the box
"the new product is closely related to the Potato Waffles"
Or Alphabites, shirley?
I was going to try and make a hash brown joke in here.
I couldn't think of one; someone help me out please
I ate an entire bag and dropped hash brown in the loo.
"...could harden your @rteries and cause a ♥ attack, at which point an upside-down LOLbite could be the result. "
At least you'd die with a LOLbite on your face.

What defines and determines happiness in a healthy marriage? Apart from other factors like love, compassion, and respect, flexibility also plays a vital role when it comes to mental health of a married couple. Flexibility not just point toward the capacity to try different sex partners, but also call for creativity, abstract thinking and adapting as per changing circumstances.
When we talk about swinging couples, we discuss people who share a sense of flexibility and creativity in their married life. True, the charm and excitement often fades away after 6-7 years of marriage and that's the time when fears and jealousies trap into a relationship. In this article, we'll analyze both sides of the coin and see which one is better – Cheating or Swinging?
Monogamous Couples – Cheating Is Always A Fear!
Monogamous couples often live with the fear of being cheated at some point of time in their relationship. In fact, they fall into the category of toxic jealousy trap, afraid that their one gesture or behavior might encourage the other to get into a full-fledged affair or even end the relationship. Since monogamous couples always think that they have lost the opportunity for sexual endeavors, most of them often stray out and look for other sexual partners without their partner's consent. Now this leads to cheating and one of the major reasons why number of divorces registered are increasing significantly.
It has been observed that regular couples are judgmental about their sex life, while swinging couples believe in living by "live-and-let-live" attitude. The transparency and consistent respect is the mantra of a successful married life. But when someone breaches it, the damage made is often irreparable.
Swinger's Lifestyle – Means More Flexibility!
The swingers' lifestyle may not seem suitable for everyone since it involves sharing your partner physically with other people during the sexual act. However, this concept has been practiced and adopted by a very large number of people all over the world, especially in western countries. The purpose of adopting this lifestyle is to explore sexual fantasies and desires with partner's consent, as well as involvement.
Couples interested in swinging have plenty of options to explore. They can meet new people sharing similar interests in swingers clubs, cruises and other lifestyle destinations. The best part of this lifestyle is that both the partners get to enjoy their sexual adventures with each other's acceptance. These couples are equally in love with each other as monogamous ones, but they are aware of the fact that besides love and affection for each other, sex is another thing that might lose its charm with time. Participating in swinging lifestyle not just let them have fun with others, but also encourage sexual interest in each other. It is a lifestyle strictly designed for mentally open couples sharing a healthy married relationship. Both of the partners could satisfy their carnal desires with each other's consent.
Swinging or Cheating - Which Is Better?
Whether or not adopting a swinger's lifestyle is better than cheating, is a question that can be best answered by those who actually practice it? Apparently, people are different and will always have different emotional and sexual needs. People who are sexually inactive wouldn't care much to have a liberal sex life, but those who are still looking for some exotic sexual adventures even after a decade of having a successful marriage life, will always look for them outside, with or without consent! If you and your partner is looking forward to add spice and zest in your relationship by fulfilling certain sexual fantasies, then you might end up being swingers accomplishing your purpose. However, if you won't show consent to your partner's desires, chances are that you might have to be a victim of infidelity.
Swinging is indeed the best way to prevent cheating and might even end up making your bond stronger for the lifetime. On the other hand, a partner caught cheating will only destroy the marriage without doing any further good. So, if you are really looking to explore your sexual interests and fantasies outside marriage, it is better to communicate your desires to your partner and let her or him be an integral part of it. With swinging lifestyle, there's always a chance of a relationship to survive or even flourish, while cheating will mean definite end to a relationship.
