The Children Lyrics - Yeasayer
We are children
and we'll give you trouble
if we don't like what you're doing
and we think that it is wrong.
Now we're satisfied,
but when we're not...
We are taking lives
and making drones.
The world that came from us,
it makes the child.
da da da da da
da da da da da.
We are children,
not the youth,
not kids.
It's not sound to pretend,
sponsored linksmy friend,
this might just be the end.
Shadow life that sits outside your door
We live inside your walls
and leak through floors.
The world that came from us,
it makes the child.
da da da da da
da da da da da.

Results tagged ' Jhoulys Chacin '
Chacin must be efficient; Pacheco working on infield defense
Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin struggled in his last outing, after suffering a finger blister in the outing before that. Quite simply, the Rockies expect Chacin to be efficient today against the Reds.
Also, the Rockies have placed Jordan Pacheco on today's roster as a backup infielder. Pacheco, a right-handed hitting utility man whose bat has impressed the Rockies, has peformed well at catcher throughout camp. Pacheco, an infielder in college, has made some good plays at third base but he is still considered a work in progress. At the end of the Rockies' batting practice, Pacheco spent extra time with infield coach Rich Dauer fielding balls off the bat and working on his stance and movement.
Here are the lineups:

Big day for Rockies' Moscoso in Tucson
The Rockies and Padres are gearing up for a Spring Training exhibition at Kino Stadium in Tucson, Ariz. — the place known as Tucson Electric Park back when the Rockies played there. This is the game that was called off because of bad weather a few days ago. This is big for Tucson, which lost all of its teams a couple of years ago. The fans should have a chance to see many members of the Triple-A Tucson Padres.
It's even bigger for Rockies right-hander Guillermo Moscoso, who is fighting for a spot on the Rockies' pitching staff and trending upward.
Moscoso, 28, obtained along with lefty Josh Outman from the Athletics for outfielder Seth Smith during the offseason, struggled in his frist two Cactus League appearances. He gave up four runs on five hits and two walks against the Cubs in his first appearance, and one run but four hits and a walk against the White Sox the next time he pitched. Granted, he was more concerned with putting pitches over the plate than anything else, but trying to make the team and possibly the starting rotation calls for more than that.
But Moscoso delievered in his last outing, throwing three scoreless innings against the Reds, striking out three and holding them to one hit and no walks. It looks as if rotation spots will go to Jeremy Guthrie, Jhoulys Chacin, Drew Pomeranz and, it seems likely, Juan Nicasio, who is making a dramatic return from a broken neck. Moscoso appears to be battling power pitcher Tyler Chatwood and 49-year-old lefty Jamie Moyer. A righty, Alex White, is in the mix; White will pitch in Tucson today. Outman was affected by the weather earlier in he week and needs to rebuild his stamina, so he might be more in line for a bullpen job.
Moscoso can work out of the rotation and the bullpen. If he continues to gain steam, he gives the Rockies a versatile arm.
Here is the lineup for the Rockies today in Tucson:
Eric Young Jr., CF
Jonathan Herrera, SS
Jordan Pacheco, C
Chad Tracy, 1B
Tyler Colvin, RF
Chris Nelson, 3B
Charlie Blackmon, LF
DJ LeMahieu, 2B
Guillermo Moscoso, RHP
Don'f forget, the Rockies will face the Giants at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick tonight, with Moyer pitching. Guthrie will pitch in a nighttime Minor League game at the complex.
Multiple injury updates, lineups for Rockies-Dodgers
– After hitting and taking groundball Friday, Rockies third baseman Casey Blake — who must prove he is healthy after neck surgery last year to hold onto a starting job — planned a full workout on Saturday with hopes of playing Sunday. Saturday will be the sixth straight day Blake has missed five days because of soreness in the trapezius muscle.
– Left-handed pitcher Jamie Moyer was "virtually pain-free," according to Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger, when he threw a bullpen session on Saturday morning. Moyer planed a long day of strengthening, flexibility and treatment after the session. Moyer had been scratched from a Minor League start on Friday.
– Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who left Thursday's start with a blister on his right index finger, said Saturday morning he was about to throw a 30-35-pitch bullpen session. Chacin left his start Thursday with the ailment after throwing 44 pitches in three innings. He said he does not expect to have any problem making his next scheduled start, on Tuesday against the Padres at Peoria, Ariz.
– Chris Nelson, competing to step into the void at third base if Blake can't answer the bell, will start Saturday against the Dodgers at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Other players in the lineup needing big performances to make the squad are outfielders Eric Young Jr. and Andrew Brown, and catcher Wil Nieves.
– Rockies righty Drew Pomeranz threw 35-40 bullpen pitches Friday, will throw again on Sunday, and will start in a game on Wednesday. Pomeranz left his last start with right glute tightness.

Chacin leads Rockies against Royals
Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin's spring devoted to fastball command continues today as he starts for the Rockies, and most likely goes three innings, against the Royals at Surprise Stadium. Also, fast-working lefty Christian Friedrich will appear, on the heels of his two scoreless innings with one hit and two strikeouts against the D-backs five days ago. Friedrich entered camp as a darkhorse candidate for the starting rotation, and has been impressive.
Center fielder Dexter Fowler is the only clear starter in the lineup, but the game is a big one because several players seeking key reserve roles made the trip.

Keeping it simple for Chacin, who debuts today
Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin's 2011 season started in glowing fashion, when he held opposing batters to a .201 batting average before the All-Star break. By the end, everything seemed complicated. The Rockies dealt former ace pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez at the trading deadline, and it wasn't simply enough to pitch. While never asked by his club, there was an implied requirement that he become an "ace," not just a strong pitcher but a leader and face of the pitching staff.
Manager Jim Tracy's goal going into 2012 is to make sure Chacin focuses on one simple task that makes everything else possible — repeat his delivery. Repeating the delivery allows him to spot his fastball, which makes his tremendous secondary pitches useful.
The Rockies' signing of 49-year-old Jamie Moyer, who has a quarter-century on Chacin, and the trade with the Orioles for in-his-prime starter Jeremy Guthrie pretty much takes any leadership burden off Chacin's shoulders. General manager Dan O'Dowd questioned Chacin's conditioning before camp began, but Tracy
So Chacin makes his Cactus League debut today against the D-backs at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, and Tracy is telling him to keep it simple.
"I did have a conversation with him in this office," Tracy said. "It goes back to taking this opportunity in Spring Training to work on his delivery and repeating it, not getting into jerking and stuff like that, where his fastball starts to run away from him. He's working on pounding his fastball for strikes.
"I personally feel, and you've heard me talk about this a lot last year, that if there's one guy in this camp who can do what we saw last year with an Ian Kennedy [with the D-backs], a guy that is capable of taking a quantum leap, to me it's Jhoulys Chacin, with much-improved fastball command."
Here is the Rockies' lineup, updated with Troy Tulowitzki being scratched because of illness:
Eric Young Jr., CF
Marco Scutaro, 2B
Carlos Gonzalez, LF
Jason Giambi, DH
Jordan Pacheco, C
Charlie Blackmon, RF
Nolan Arenado, 3B
Chad Tracy, 1B
Jonathan Herrera, SS
A former Rockies top Draft pick, lefty Christian Friedrich, is scheduled to pitch after Chacin. Friedrich, taken 25th overall in 2008, struggled to 6-10 with a 5.00 ERA in 25 starts at Double-A Tulsa last year. But injuries affected his 2010 season and his preparation for 2011. This past winter, he spent time working out with the Phillies' Cliff Lee, and the Rockies have placed his Spring Training locker beside that of Moyer. Friedrich is in better physical shape, and said the veterans have offered him a high level of information.
Veteran reliever Matt Belisle also is scheduled to throw.
Rockies offer in Moyer's court
For now, the Rockies' 2012 potential Opening Day starting rotation can be called the "under-30 club." But that could change, considerably, with one signing.
Looking for a veteran to help guide the young rotation, the Rockies could be bringing in the veteran – 49-year-old left-hander Jamie Moyer. The Rockies have made an offer of a Minor League contract, and a club official told MLB.com on Tuesday morning that "it's in his court."
Moyer had Tommy John ligament transfer surgery in his throwing elbow in December 2010 and worked for ESPN as an analyst last year, but stated all along he hoped to pitch again in 2012. He went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA for the Phillies in 2010.
By making the offer, the Rockies are signaling that they believe Moyer can be a help to them, not merely a novelty, although his potential signing sparks folks to go digging for trivia. For example, when Moyer made his Major League debut for the Cubs on June 16, 1986, the following competitors for the Rockies' 2012 rotation had not been born: Jhoulys Chacin (Jan. 7, 1988), Tyler Chatwood (Dec. 16, 1989), Juan Nicasio (Aug. 31, 1986), Drew Pomeranz (Nov. 22, 1988) and Alex White (Aug. 29, 1988).
One of Moyer's teammates on the 1986 Cubs was Rockies television color commentator George Frazier, then a relief pitcher.
The Denver Post, which reported the offer to Moyer on Monday night, also reported that the Rockies are looking at trading for a second baseman, with the Red Sox's Marco Scutaro and the Mets' Justin Turner as possibilities.
Crazy weather leads to postponement
Turns out Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin's mother was right about Denver's unpredictable weather.
After Denver reached a record-high 84 degrees on Saturday, a rain-snow mix hit on Sunday and forced the final game of the season-opening series with the D-backs. No makeup date was immediately announced.
Chacin was supposed to make his first start of the season, against the D-backs' Joe Saunders. Chacin invited his parents from Venezuela, but said his mother put off the trip until at least May because she doesn't like bad weather.
The teams took batting practice in cold wind. By the time the postponement was announced it was rain and snow. Within minutes after announcement, it was simply snow.
Chacin, instead, will start Tuesday against the Dodgers. Righty Jason Hammel will start Wednesday in the second game of the two-game set at Coors.
Right-hander Esmil Rogers, who won the fifth starter spot in Spring Training, will start on Thursday at Pittsburgh in the Pirates' home opener, and the first home game for current Bucs skipper and former Rockies manger Clint Hurdle. Ubaldo Jimenez, who is battling a cut cuticle on his right (pitching) thumb, is scheduled for Friday. Jorge De La Rosa, who left his first start of the season on Saturday with a blistered left middle finger, will start Saturday at Pittsburgh.
According to the Rockies, tickets from Sunday's game are valid for the makeup, whenever it is scheduled. Exchanges may be made for any game the remainder of the season, value-for-value, as long as the exchange is made before the makeup date. There are no cash refunds.
Ticket exchanges will be accepted at Coors Field Ticket Office and all Rockies Dugout Stores.
Complimentary tickets have a value of zero dollars and may not be exchanged, and discounted tickets may be exchanged only for the amount paid to the Rockies and are subject to any constraints applicable to the original sale.

Redding escapes traffic; Chacin encouraging
Right-hander Tim Redding's first Rockies appearance was not as sharp as he wanted. He saw heavy traffic for two innings – three hits and a walk – but yielded just one run in the 8-6 victory over the Brewers.
With two out and one on in the first inning, Jody Gerut drove a 3-0 pitch. Right fielder Ryan Spilborghs tracked it through high winds and chased it to the wall in the corner but could not make the play. Redding though it was going to be a tape-measure home run.
"You don't think, even in Spring Training games, a guy is going to come out swinging 3-0, so I threw a fastball to get back in there, and try to get him out later on," Redding said. "The next inning, they had the walk and the hit, then I got a double play and got the pitcher out.
"That was encouraging, knowing that I had first and second, nobody out, then got a double-play ball and got the pitcher to hit the ball on the ground."
Redding, a non-roster invitee but one the Rockies have attempted to trade for or sign in the past, said he needs to work on pitching inside to left-handed hitters.
Right-hander Jhooulys Chacin, who followed Redding, was charged with three runs, two earned, in two innings. All of the runs came in the third inning.
But the hits were along the ground, and he escaped the inning with a double-play grounder. The first out nearly was a double play, but first baseman Paul Lo Duca, who was charged with the error on Gerut's hard bouncer, could not scoop shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's throw.
"I was tickled to death with what I saw from both guys," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
Rockies contract update
The Rockies have signed the following pre-arbitration players to one-year contracts: right-handed pitchers Alberto Alburquerque, Jhoulys Chacin, Samuel Deduno, Matt Daley, Edgmer Escalona, Shane Lindsay, Juan Nicasio, Greg Reynolds, Chaz Roe and Esmil Rogers; left-handed pitchers Franklin Morales and Greg Smith; catcher Mike McKenry; infielders Hector Gomez, Chris Nelson, Ian Stewart and Eric Young Jr.; and outfielders Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gonzalez and Seth Smith. Terms were not announced.
Matt Belisle: Rag ball king
As early as tee ball, coaches learn quickly that it's a lot easier to teach when the drills are fun. It's no different teaching the children-at-heart in the Majors.
So the Rockies have this drill to help pitchers develop their fielding that they call "rag ball smash." A coach hits one-hoppers or line drives hard at a pitcher from close range. To keep from filling the disabled list, soft-cover balls are used.
Each day, they keep score, talk trash and generally laugh as they work. But manager Jim Tracy pointed out recently that a number of big fielding plays by pitchers last season were attributable to the reactions developed in the drill.
"You see a ball coming off the bat like that and you have to react to it," Tracy said. "Obviously, it's not a hard ball. But how many of those in-between-type comebackers have you seen where a guy flinches.
"How many two-out, man-on-second-base groundball base hits through the middle did we save last year? How many of those cases could have been a game-changing hit?"
Tracy brought the drill to the Rockies last season, when he helped organize Spring Training as bench coach under then-manager Clint Hurdle. Just before games began, he organized a tournament that right-handed prospect Jhoulys Chacin won. The team also includes clubhouse staff in the event. It's a rollicking good time.
It was a great time for righty reliever Matt Belisle, who won this year's championship — and took home the purple robe with $20 bills totaling $200 pinned to it — by catching 15 smashes in a row in the final. Lefty reliever Franklin Morales finished second by catching 13.
Belisle was all smiles.
"I think we have made it fun, and all the guys pretty much agree it does help," Belisle said. "The genius is to incorporate some competition. That's where we all come together and enjoy it."
It would have been nice for Belisle to have been able to wear the championship robe to, say, dinner in Tucson. But after seeing him don it on the field, someone decided that it wouldn't have been a good fashion statement for him to wear it anywhere else.
"I don't know where my robe is," he said. "That's a good question.
"But I got the money, and I'm going to go find the robe."

Oh my this week has been crazy!!
I'm sorry I haven't posted much this weekend but there was some kind of hockey tournament in town and we were crazy busy all weekend. In fact I just got home and all I really want to do is go to bed. I am totally beat!
Probably didn't help that I worked till 10 last night and was back to work at 8 this morning :(
Oh and now I know how to tweet from my phone! Um I might be getting a new addiction! Anyone who want's to tweet I'm spunkysuzi (I know I'm such an original)
But at least my eating has been good. I started today with a banana/coconut protein pancake and topped it with sugar free syrup.
I took some cheese sticks and veggies to work and also ate a carrot/pineapple muffin! (I did something wrong when I made these and they are really dry but I don't want to just throw them away)
Tonight was some whole wheat pasta with shrimp, pasta sauce and parmasean cheese and a glass of wine.
Right now all I can think about is going to go to bed :)
Thanks everyone for joining in my challenge this week. I plan on doing some downward dog before bed.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Hallucinogen Induced States of Unity and Interconnectedness
I am writing this article to serve as a dedicated analysis and description regarding my current understanding towards what I consider to be the most profound and important freestanding component within the entirety of the hallucinogenic experience. In the past, I have already written about the experience of states of unity and interconnectedness within this article here. This piece of writing however makes the incorrect assumption that this state is exclusively associated with level 7B visual geometry. It was also written from a perspective which is extremely limited in comparison to the understanding which I have since built up over the past few months. However, it is extremely important for me to make it clear that I have not come even remotely close to fully grasping or even comprehending both the logic behind this experience and its many potential consequences.
This is a level of understanding which I do not expect to ever reach. Despite this however, I am determined to steadily progress what I have already learnt through a combination of constant analysis and in-depth discussions with an increasingly large amount of people who have undergone this component.
To begin with, I will describe the specific subjective experience and consistent effects of this component in as much detail as possible.
It starts with a change in perspective which is consistently interpreted as the lifting of a deeply embedded and all encompassing illusion. The destruction of this leads onto feelings that the tripper has undergone some sort of profound "awakening" or "enlightenment".
This illusion feels as though it has always been in place, forcing a person's perspective of the world into feeling as if their concept of "self" or "I" with which they identify themselves as, is assumed to intrinsically follow two fundamental rules. The first of these rules is that the self is inherently separate from the external environment and could not possibly extend into it. The second is that the self is specifically limited to not even the physical body as a whole, but exclusively a person's ego or internal narrative and the image of their own personality as built up through social interactions with other people.
Once removed, the absence of this inbuilt illusion can lead onto two possible levels of cognitive intensities which both follow very consistent and interlocking themes.
The lower and more basic of these two levels can be referred to as external environment specific states of unity and interconnectedness. It can be described as a loss of perceived boundaries between the physical body and either the entirety of the external environment or specific things contained within it. This is felt to be the result of a person's central sense of self becoming attributed to not just the internal narrative of the ego but in equal measure, to the human body in its entirety and the things around it which it is physically connected to through the senses. This creates the undeniable perspective that the external environment is no longer a separate world which the "I" is confronting and disconnected from, but a single unified system of behaviour. This experience provides the perspective that you are the external environment experiencing itself through the specific point within it that this body's physical sensory awareness and conscious thought happens to reside in. This sensation is generally described by most people as "becoming one with the things around me".
The most common and relatable examples of states of unity and interconnectedness, which are manifested as specific to the external environment, include but are certainly not limited to the following perspectives:
- Becoming one with a specific object which you are interacting with.
- Becoming one with a specific person which you interacting with.
(particularly common if engaging in sexual activities)
- Becoming one with large crowds of people.
(particularly common at raves and music festivals)
- Becoming one with immediately perceivable nature but not man kind.
- Becoming one with the immediate external environment as a whole.
The second and highest level of intensity for this component can be referred to as all encompassing states of unity and interconnectedness. It is at this point of intensity when the experience become infinitely more profound and limitless in its effects.
Once this level is reached, the external systems which a person's central sense of self has become attributed to and one with is no longer limited to the immediately perceivable environment. Instead, it envelops and becomes attributed to the entirety of a person's internally stored model of reality, existence and the universe as a whole.
This creates the sudden undeniable perspective that you are literally the entire universe experiencing itself, exploring itself and performing actions onto itself through the very specific point of space and time which your ego and conscious perception happens to reside in.
This is a feeling that when experienced, is immediately and universally understood to be an undeniable truth by anybody who undergoes it. It results in a number of profound consequences and changes in worldview or philosophical perspective which seem to follow fairly consistent themes across almost all people who experience this component. These include but are certainly not limited to:
- A new system of ethics which values the well being of the external as on par with the importance of the ego.
- The sensation that talking to others is the experience of engaging with another part of yourself.
- The sensation that the act of learning is the universe discovering itself and so extremely important this it is accompanied by pleasurable full body mind orgasms and frissons.
- The immediate interpretation of music, films and art as messages which are sent to you through the universe as a whole.
- A perspective which feels personally responsible for the entirety of histories human suffering, as well as every single human act of love and technological achievement which our species has committed onto itself.
- The obviousness of monogamy as a culturally bound tradition which stems from a combination of the ego's sense of separateness from others and its deep psychological insecurities.
- A perspective which feels as if death can finally be accepted. This is because it is no longer felt to be the destruction of the self but simply the end of this specific point of conscious awareness which will continue to live on through everything else which it resides in.
This is a component which can either be felt as a temporary sensation that disappears as the tripper sobers up or it can become integrated into a new perspective of the world for weeks, months or years after the experience itself.
It is seemingly completely spontaneous in its rate of occurrence but seems to be particularly common during states of level 7B visual geometry when the tripper is by themselves. It also seems to occur when deep introspection results in the tripper truly resolving and coming to terms with each of their specific sets of insecurities in a way that has allowed them to become finally acceptant and content with who they are as a person.
In terms of the specific substances which are capable of inducing this component, the list currently confirms that it is possible within,
Psilocin, 4-AcO-DMT, DMT, LSD, MDMA, Ketamine, DXM and Salvia divinorum.
Similar notions of unity and the illusory nature of the self seem to be discussed heavily throughout a huge variety of religious, philosophical and psychological sources, which have been produced across both modern and ancient human history. Each of these exist independently from the experience of hallucinogenic substances. I have done my best to collect and list all of these below:
- The Buddhist phrase of anatta, which can be read about in detail here, specifically refers to the concept of "no-self". This is the teaching that all things perceived by the senses (including the mental sense of thought) are not really "I" or "mine", and for this reason one should not cling to them.
- Monism which can be read about in detail here, is a philosophical position which argues that there is only one thing, which all things are not separate from but working together within as a unified system of behaviour.
- The Hindu philosophy known as Nondualism can be read about in detail here. This is an idea which states that there is no difference between the concept of Brahman (the external environment) and Ātman (the self).
- The formally defined world view known as Interconnectedness, which can be read about in detail here, defines itself as the idea that all things are of a single underlying substance and reality, and that there is no true separation deeper than appearances.
- In psychology, egolessness, which can be read about in detail here, is an emotional state where one feels no ego (or self); of having no distinct being apart from the world around oneself. This is often described as feelings of oneness and being inextricably woven to the fabric of one's surroundings or environment.
- In Freudian psychology, oceanic feeling which can be read about in detail here, is described as a sensation of an indissoluble bond, as of being connected with the external world in its integral form which is considered to be the source of religious energy. From this perspective, the feeling is referred to as an entirely subjective fact and is not an article of faith.
- The overview effect, which is described in detail within this documentary here, is a documented change in perspective experienced by astronauts who see the earth from above. It is described as perceiving the earth as a single unified system with which we are all a part of.
- Alan Watts, a famous philosopher spoke extensively about the illusory nature of the self. His lectures are extremely informative and can be found in full through torrents on the pirate bay and in parts within many videos across Youtube. His book "The book on the taboo of knowing who you are" is dedicated to a formal explanation of the philosophies and logic behind this perspective and can be found within the form of a free PDF here.
My personal interpretation or description of the themes within these philosophies (which may well be overly simplified or completely wrong) is that the individual and the universe cannot be logically defined as separate systems. This is because, to define a physical object of any sort in even the most basic level of detail, you must also provide an account of the way in which it physically interacts with and is completely dependent on its particular external environment. In turn, the external environment which the original object resides within cannot be fully defined without taking into account the surrounding systems which it is also contained within and so on outwards to encompass existence as a whole. This renders the self or any individual concept as something which can not logically be defined as a contained and separate system from the rest of the universe.
In the very same way that you cannot logically have up without down, left without right, something without nothing, light without dark or positive without negative. You cannot have self without other or each without all because the two concepts inter-depend and exclusively exist in an inseparable and unified relationship to each other.
This suggests to me that one is permitted to use terms such as "I", "you", and so on, not because they refer to an empirical and separate self, but simply because they are convenient linguistic tools for use in conversation which should not be considered as anything more than a symbolic approximation or measurement.
Regardless of the legitimacy of these theistic and philosophical perspectives which may be inherently delusional or false, feelings of becoming "one with universe" which are pervasive within human culture, is undoubtedly one of the most profoundly positive changes in perspective that a human being could possibly go through.
Assuming however that this is a rational and logically sound perspective, I am left with two alternate hypotheses in regards to why this illusion seems to be so deeply embedded into each and everyone of us.
The first of these is that it perhaps this illusion formed because it is an evolutionary advantage for the ego to feel intrinsically separate from and more significant than, the external environment as a means of ensuring the motivation for survival. This was my previous theory but upon further analysis has proven implausible. I do not see any physical route through which a drug that simply activates or deactivates receptors could change something that is hard wired into the very structure of the brain.
The second of these personal hypotheses is that the illusion of separateness does not stem from a hardware problem but a software problem. I personally believe that unity may well be the default evolutionary perspective through which human beings originally operated, but it has been suppressed through a purely cultural or more specifically, linguistic problem. This could potentially stem from the way that despite the many obvious benefits of language, it pays a price through completely reorganizing our perception of the world into a system of intrinsically separate labels that in reality, are merely glimpses of a unified whole. It's an overcoming of this deeply embedded illusion that hallucinogens could theoretically rise above through the way in which they forcibly induce embedded and otherwise hidden states of mind that exist within the subconscious.
If myself and the psychedelic community as a whole dedicate themselves to coming to a total understanding of this important component, the potential consequences could have historical significance. Were the subtle environmental triggers to be accurately determined, it would be theoretically possible to consistently induce permanent and all encompassing states of unity and interconnectedness in a clinical setting. This would provide the entirety of the human species to a total freedom from our psychological, unnecessary and purely ego driven suffering which consumes our entire perspective of the world.
If you have had any experience with this component whatsoever please do report this in the comment section below and the drug which it occurred on. This provides myself and everybody else with extremely valuable data and would be greatly appreciated.

Rodd Penney makes his first appearance in the Aironi starting line-up to face Edinburgh at Stadio Zaffanella on Saturday.
Penney, who joined Aironi from Saracens, will play alongside Gilberto Pavan in midfield as the Italian team look for their first Magners League victory.
The backline is completed by Giulio Toniolatti and Danwel Demas on the wings and Julien Laharrague at full-back.
Penney will make his Magners League debut after just a one week training with his new team-mates.
"I'm pretty excited to be here, (former Saracens team-mates) Fabio (Ongaro) and Matias (Aguero) are helping me," he said.
"All the players in the team are very friendly and really welcoming. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to play this week and hopefully against Edinburgh we go really well and we can play some exciting rugby".
"I think what we have to do is just playing with a lot of intensity. Italian teams are known for being very physical and starting the game very fast, so hopefully we can do that. We should maintain that rhythm for the whole game and we can put together a very good performance".
Elsewhere, the Tebaldi-Mercier half-back duo that started the competition is restored.
In the back row Nick Williams returns after a week off and take the place of injured Gareth Krause, who fractured a bone in his foot during a training session on Tuesday and will be sidelined for almost two months.
In the second row Carlo Del Fava returns to action alongside captain Quintin Geldenhuys. The front row also returns to full-strength, with Alberto De Marchi at loosehead, Salvatore Perugini at tighthead prop, and Fabio Ongaro at hooker.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh Head Coach Rob Moffat has challenged his players to step up from their opening Magners League victory of the season for what he believes will be a physically demanding away match
The fixture will be the the first time Edinburgh have faced an Italian club in the competition.
Moffat has made five changes to the team that started the 32-24 success against Leinster. Jim Thompson makes his first appearance of the season - having recovered from tidy-up knee surgery over the summer - in place of Chris Paterson who took a knock to his left foot on Friday.
Elsewhere Greig Laidlaw and Kyle Traynor will start at scrum-half and prop respectively - with Mike Blair and Allan Jacobsen on the bench - while in the back-row Fraser McKenzie is in for Delhi bound Scott Newlands at blindside flanker and Alan MacDonald is back from the hip problem which he sustained against Cardiff at openside instead of Ross Rennie.
"It's important we build on what we did well against Leinster on Friday, especially that spell in the second-half where we scored three tries," said Moffat.
"This weekend is about improvement. We realise Aironi are searching for their first win but they will be tough opposition, particularly up front. We simply cannot afford to drop back into some of the individual errors we made in the first three league games."
Moffat explained that Paterson was now engaged in a rehabilitation programme with the Edinburgh physios with a view to being ready for the Heineken Cup game against Cardiff a week on Saturday.
The other changes Moffat put down to managing his squad. Six Edinburgh players - Alex Blair, John Houston, Lee Jones, Stuart McInally, Scott Newlands and Andrew Turnbull - will represent Scotland Sevens in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi
Form: Aironi Rugby are still searching for an elusive first ever victory in the Magners League, their solo league point so far coming during the 15-22 defeat to Ulster in their only previous home match in the competition. Edinburgh Rugby's unwanted run of seven successive Magners League defeats ended with their 32-24 home victory over Leinster on Friday. The Scotsmen are yet to win on the road in 2010, their most recent away triumph was 17-16 at Scarlets on 4 December 2009.
The teams:
Aironi: 15 Julien Laharrague; 14 Giulio Toniolatti, 13 Rodd Penney, 12 Gilberto Pavan, 11 Danwel Demas, 10 Ludovic Mercier, 9 Tito Tebaldi, 8 Nick Williams. 7 Josh Sole, 6 Andrea Benatti, 5 Quintin Geldenhuys (c), 4 Carlo Antonio Del Fava, 3 Salvatore Perugini, 2 Fabio Ongaro, 1 Alberto De Marchi
Replacements: 16 Roberto Santamaria, 17 Andrea De Marchi, 18 Luca Redolfini, 19 Marco Bortolami, 20 Jaco Erasmus, 21 Pablo Canavosio, 22 Gabriel Pizarro, 23 Riccardo Bocchino.
Edinburgh: 15 Jim Thompson, 14 Mark Robertson, 13 Ben Cairns, 12 Alex Grove, 11 Tim Visser, 10 David Blair, 9 Greig Laidlaw, 8 Roddy Grant, 7 Alan MacDonald, 6 Fraser McKenzie, 5 Scott MacLeod, 4 Esteban Lozada, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Kyle Traynor
Replacements: 16 Andrew Kelly, 17 Allan Jacobsen, 18 David Young, 19 Craig Hamilton, 20 David Denton, 21 Mike Blair, 22 James King, 23 Tom Brown

Every Saturday, a bunch of Sydney neighborhoods have markets with little pop-up shops and food stands. The best one I've been to is in an area called, Glebe. Combination of beautiful weather, great food, and cool shops make it a really fun place to check out.
On Thursday, April 25th, Australia and New Zealand celebrate ANZAC Day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). It's like a combination of Independence Day and Veteran's Day, in terms of what and how it's celebrated.
On this day, and this day only each year, there's a special betting game played and allowed in bars, called "two-up" which is essentially "heads or tails"
Step 1) Find someone around you to match your bet. Ex. if you touch a $20 bill to your head, that means you want to bet on heads, and someone that agrees will bet on tails.
Step 2) The person that bets heads holds onto the money until the coins are flipped.
Step 3) Wait for the "Spinner" to set up for the toss. Both coins must land on the same side for someone to win (either both heads, or both tails).
Step 4) VIDEO
Step 5) Either cheer/drink in celebration, or shout/drink in anger.
Step 6) Repeat steps 1-5
We went to a Sydney Swans game (Australian rules football club)! Think of a mix of soccer and football and rugby. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the game. After a few minutes of watching and asking questions to the people seated around me, I picked up the rules and strategy and had a great time!
Last weekend NYU Sydney took a trip a bit west. Our first stop was a food and wine tasting that was incredible! So many different whites and reds, and each one was really good. At night we went to a hot-air balloon festival. There was also a ton of great food like pumpkin soup, chick wraps, and steak sandwiches. The next morning, on our way back to Sydney, we visited a Japanese garden. The photo above is from a cozy, relaxing spot I found high above, looking over the entire garden!
One of NYU Sydney's favorite places to grab a bite is Grill'd, they have incredible burgers (around $10) and fries (around $4). Afterwards, it's a must to go down the street to Messina, which has some of the best ice cream and gelato I've ever had (around $3-$6). Definitely some of my favorite eats in Sydney!
Last week was NYU Sydney's spring break. I went to New Zealand (south island) and got to do and see some really neat stuff. Here's a breakdown of what we did each day…
Day 1: Flew out of Sydney and arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand in the afternoon. Drove a couple of hours to Arthur's Pass, a small town filled with nature hikes and beautiful, outdoorsy scenery.
Day 2: Set off in the morning towards Queenstown. Along the way we stopped to walk Fox Glacier. Drove in the evening and arrived at night in Queenstown
Day 3: Jet-boating in the afternoon (speed boat that makes all kinds of twists and turns) with amazing views of lakes and mountains. In the early evening we hiked Queenstown Hill and saw the city from way up high. At night we checked out an ice bar where we wore heavy jackets and gloves and enjoyed a few drinks.
Day 4: Started the day with an incredible brunch. Zip-lining with mountain views and stunning scenery in the afternoon. Before dinner we visited a hot spring pool that overlooked a valley. At night we went to the famous burger joint, Fergburger, where we devoured gigantic sandwiches. Afterwards a trip to one of the local casinos finished our time in Queenstown.
Day 5: Drove to the Milford Sound for a cruise. We got to kayak in the water and even jump into it from the boat (it was freezing). Spent all night and morning on the boat cruising around the mountains on the water.
Day 6: Drove all the way back up the island to Christchurch making stops along the way to get out of the car, stretch, and snap some photos.
I had a blast on the trip. The south island of New Zealand is beautiful, and we got to see so many interesting places throughout our journey. There was a lot of driving, but I quickly got used to it (especially since I had some practice driving earlier in the semester during a weekend trip). Some of my favorite parts of the trip included cruising the Milford Sound, hiking Queenstown Hill, and chowing down at Fergburger.
A combination of stunning views, beautiful scenery, incredible sites, exciting activities, great food, and fun people made the break an unforgettable experience!
NYU Sydney is on spring break (or, Fall Break in Australia)! I'm currently in New Zealand with a few friends. We arrived last night in Queenstown, the adventure sport capital of the world! We drove down the west coast of the South Island to get here (long but beautiful drive). More pictures and posts to come, but enjoy this one for now.
I've been wanting to go to this bar called "Soda Factory" for a couple of weeks. Finally, I checked it out, and it was one of the coolest bars I've been to (Sydney or New York). From the street, it looks like an old-fashioned hot dog joint, but a hidden door leads you into a dimly-lit speakeasy-like bar with oldies music and a mix of Sydney's finest folks. We ordered the signature drink, a Bourbon Milkshake, and also got some French fries with mayo. This place was fantastic!

Skin Cancer Prevention (PDQ®): Prevention - Patient Information [NCI] - Skin Cancer Prevention
Avoiding risk factors and increasing protective factors may help prevent cancer.
Avoiding cancer risk factors may help prevent certain cancers. Risk factors include smoking, being overweight, and not getting enough exercise. Increasing protective factors such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising may also help prevent some cancers. Talk to your doctor or other health care professional about how you might lower your risk of cancer.
Being exposed to ultraviolet radiation is a risk factor for skin cancer.
Some studies suggest that being exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the sensitivity of a person's skin to UV radiation are risk factors for skin cancer. UV radiation is the name for the invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun. Sunlamps and tanning beds also give off UV radiation.
Risk factors for nonmelanoma and melanoma cancers are not the same.
|Risk factors for nonmelanoma skin cancer:
|Risk factors for melanoma skin cancer:
It is not known if the following lower the risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer:
Sunscreen use and avoiding sun exposure
It is not known if nonmelanoma skin cancer risk is decreased by staying out of the sun, using sunscreens, or wearing protective clothing when outdoors. This is because not enough studies have been done to prove this.
Sunscreen may help decrease the amount of UV radiation to the skin. One study found that wearing sunscreen can help prevent actinic keratoses, scaly patches of skin that sometimes become squamous cell carcinoma.
The harms of using sunscreen are likely to be small and include allergic reactions to skin creams and lower levels of vitamin D made in the skin because of less sun exposure.
Although protecting the skin and eyes from the sun has not been proven to lower the chance of getting skin cancer, skin experts suggest the following:
- Use sunscreen that protects against UV radiation.
- Do not stay out in the sun for long periods of time, especially when the sun is at its strongest.
- Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, sun hats, and sunglasses, when outdoors.

Stacy Lewis has had a very fine three days! She played like a woman on fire, carded rounds of 67, 63 and 67 at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club Bay Course and ended Sunday at -16 and on the top of the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer leaderboard. The ShopRight gave Lewis her second 2014 victory and rewarded her with the winner's purse of $225K. That pushed her year-to-date earnings over the million dollar mark. She also collected 500 more Race to the CME Globe points, which increases her lead in that year-long, million dollar contest to close to 1000 points. And to top it all off, with the ShopRite victory Lewis bumped Inbee Park out of the number one spot in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, a spot Park has held for 59 consecutive weeks.
Lewis's victory and all that it entailed was the big story at the Shoprite LPGA Classic, but it wasn't the only story.
Christina Kim's runner-up finish is also a success story. Kim, one of the most popular and engaging players on the Tour, has struggled with depression and with physical ailments that have suppressed her performance for several years, and she has surmounted enormous obstacles to regain her Tour status and the level of play that will keep her there.
Watching Christina Kim play golf for the past three days was both thrilling and inspiring. She played with courage and with grace and with humor and with compassion. When Lewis missed a short birdie putt on the par-2 17th this afternoon Kim was trailing her lead by four strokes. With Kim standing by and watching, Lewis then bobbled an equally short come-back par putt that was hit just a bit too firm and lipped out. On her third try she put the ball in the cup and dropped a shot. Kim, who was trailing by 3 when they left the green and started their walk to the 18th tee, and who badly wanted the win for herself, reached over and gave her friend a consoling pat on the back.
Kim then faced her own problems on the final hole and turned what should have been a fairly straightforward par-5 finish into a double bogey. Her response? A smile, a genuine hug for Stacy Lewis, and then tears, not of sorrow but of joy, because she was back in the competition. We'll see more of Christina Kim around the top of the leaderboard.
There was some splendid golf played a bit further down the board. The four-way tie for third got Haeji Kang and Jennifer Johnson their first top-10 finishes of the season. Johnson, who was holding second place at the turn, one stroke ahead of Kim, was one of a number of players who fell victim to the treacherous fescue rough, and a resulting double on the par-4 12th followed by bogeys on the 14th and 15th put the top of the board out of her reach.
Anna Nordqvist and Gerina Piller, shared third place with Kang and Johnson. This was the 4th top-10 for both Nordqvist and Piller this year. Piller, who's hunting her first pro victory, played an exceptionally strong game and but for a couple of tangles in the nasty Bay Course rough might have taken away Stacy Lewis's Sunday glory. I'm looking for Piller to put that first win on her resume before the 2014 season ends.
Not everybody had good rounds at the ShopRite. Suzann Pettersen finished at T13, Paula Creamer and Michelle Wie at T23, Brittany Lang at T33, Lydia Ko at T48 and Lexi Thompson at T66. It was a challenging golf course with a killer rough and tricky ocean winds that brought some of the Tour's stars to their knees.
The Tour travels further north now, to Waterloo, Ontario and the 72-hole Manulife Financial LPGA Classic at the Grey Silo Golf Course, June 5-8.

Alternative Press Expo 2013 has come and gone! And I managed to take quite a bit of pictures. But still not enough! Argh. But regardless, it was a nice show. Now that time had passed since I was last there. I can now see it's a little different from a main stream show but still cool. Lots of great artists making little crafty things n such. Well anywho, let's get on with the pictures!…
My table set up didn't change except the half-table was a lot smaller than I anticipated. But my table-neighbor was absent so i absorbed his portion later.
My neighbors to the left were really nice! The illustrator is Trista Musco (far right) and you can check out her work here —> http://www.qtrnevermore.com/ And she was accompanied by writer Mr. Comer and you can see some of his words over here —> http://sockdolager.net/puzzlebox/angels.html
My neighbors to the right had heads! HEADS! Mounted upon blocks! I thought they were hand puppets at first hehe. You can check out their stuff here —-> http://yetisandfriends.tumblr.com/
Aaaaadventure Time!!! Andy Ristano, storyboard artist and designer to Adventure Time was there too! Sadly, I didn't have a chance to buy his stuff there. But he had some amazing prints and original books too!
I had a lot of free time during the show, so to pass the time… I sketch! And of course, that time is spent with Alec.
Casting Bones is an original graphic novel that was in front of my table. Again, I had some down time so I sketched their character. You can see their stuff here —> http://castingbones.com/
I took in some sketch commissions and here's the first one of the weekend for Michelle and Erik (awesome peoples) :D Leeloo from Fifth Element!
The next one wasn't just Cthulu. It's Cthulu devouring the world!!!!
Zack got some of my prints from Big WOW! and now he has a sketch of the mighty great old one!
Tommy here got himself a Spider-Man/Batman sketch!
And now the most awesome kids ever. This pair came up and was in awe of my Nightmare on Elm St. print, as one of them was going to be Freddy for Halloween :D They asked about Freddy and wondered how he slayed his victims. I explained he's like a nightmare.
"He kills you in your sleep? …like for real?"
"Well, in the movies."
Then came a disappointed "aww" haha! They each drew me sketches and I made them a quick Freddy sketch!!
Best. Sketches. Ever. A brutal dragon with crossbones! And a knife wielding psycho saying "Flesh ripping time!" :D gotta frame these!
And that's it for pictures, wish I'd taken more (as always). But thanks to everyone who came out to the show!

Open Riding Part II
Submitted by David on
I was at the velodrome today doing an open ride and it was a great workout. A couple things that i wanted to comment on were the number of riders doing the open ride and the large discrepancy in abilities.
The track is not that big and there were I think 12 people on the track. There were not any accidents but 12 riders is alot. I think they should limit the number of riders that do an open ride.
I also thought there was a huge range of riding abilities. I would say half the riders were P-1-2 riders then a handful of 3s then a handful of 4s. It makes things a little dangerous with the wide variety of abilities.

Seems with that many people on the track, everybody should be on the same level...

It was Open Ride II. I think the velodrome needs to do some question asking. There were definitely a handful of people that were not Cat 1 2 or 3.

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION — For three innings, neither Jefferson nor Musselman could score. The only threat to the co-shutouts being thrown by the Lady Cougars' Alexandra Witt and Musselman's Taylor Stocks was the storm clouds that surrounded the field but only sent down a a few scattered drops of rain.
[cleeng_content id="290867732" description="Read it now!" price="0.15" t="article"]But after Witt blanked Musselman in the fourth, the Lady Cougars wove together hits from Lauren Lewis, Jenna Witt and Chelsea Shepherd along with two Lady Appleman errors to break through with three runs.
Alexandra Witt continued her mastery of the Musselman offense. And the two additional runs Jefferson collected in the late innings made the final score read, 5-0.
Jefferson had shoved Musselman out of the postseason and had given itself a berth in the Class AAA, Region II finals this Thursday in Buckhannon against the Lady Buccaneers. The winner of that game secures a place in the four-team state tournament.
The Lady Cougars had lost two times to Musselman during the regular season. The Lady Applemen had scored a combined 19 runs in the two wins.
But against Witt in the Regional semifinals, the Lady Applemen did very little to excite their cow bell-ringing gallery of supporters.
Witt limited Musselman to just three hits. She allowed only three baserunners because she didn't walk anybody and her defense did not commit any errors.
The right-hander handled four grounders herself and Musselman had eight pop flies or 150-foot fly outs. Witt fanned only one, but only five balls were hit hard off her reliable fastball.
Stocks was an imposing force herself. She had seven strikeouts through three scoreless innings.
In the Jefferson fourth, Lauren Lewis' second single began what would mature into a three-run inning. With one out, Jenna Witt blooped a single into shallow right. Alexandra Witt was safe when her sharply hit grounder was misplayed at shortstop. The bases were loaded.
Musselman catcher Nikki Dusing made a throw toward third, trying to pickoff Lewis. The throw sailed high and into left field. Both Lewis and Jenna Witt scored on the error. And in an instant, the scoreless tie was no more and Jefferson had a 2-0 lead.
With Alexandra Witt still on base, Chelsea Shepherd got her second of three hits, the Lady Cougars led, 3-0.
Lewis drilled a solo homer in the fifth. It was her third hit off Stocks. Shepherd's sixth-inning single was followed by the only walk Stocks issued and Mallory Jackson's RBI single, and Jefferson led, 5-0.
In the seventh, Dusing, who had two of Musselman's three hits, lined out to Lewis at shortstop to end it.
Stocks had fanned 13 in her six innings. But she yielded eight hits and Musselman's two errors came in Jefferson's three-run inning.
The Lady Cougars take a 19-8 overall record to face Buckhannon, a team they split games with during the regular season.
Alexandra Witt has now allowed only a combined two runs in posting a 3-0 record in three tournament games. She has been much more reliable than the weather in the last 10 days.[/cleeng_content]

As our world and technology have become increasingly complex, people gravitate toward simple, easily recognizable messages and calls-for-action.
Let's agree: The time of complex visual messaging in marketing and advertising is over. Collages are dead.
A simple image that conveys a single core idea are favoured by marketers and brand managers because they work. In essence, today anything that is not necessary to get to "yes" merely gets in the way.
It is the difference between the completely uncluttered Google search website with its legendary a single function, and Yahoo search where myriad content has come to obscure its (former) main function.
The challenge is that arriving at simplicity is hard work. It requires a focused purpose and a great deal of clarity. It requires knowing who exactly your message needs to speak to and convince to pay attention and a deep understanding of what breakthrough communications are about, what they must over come.
Our brains are designed to edit out information, to ignore clutter, to disregard anything that doesn't look immediately pertinent.
Great marketing gets past those hardwired gatekeepers. And great marketing has to be singular, direct and address an important target market motivation.
Hallmarks of effective communications
- Purpose
- Specific target audience

- Clarity
- Consistency

Isuzu launches 'D-Max Space Cab' pickup
Japanese auto major Isuzu Motors Wednesday launched a new variant of its popular D-Max pickup truck called the "space cab" that will be available for around Rs.8 lakh and is aimed at rural and towns.
The space cab has a specially built cabin which gives 1.5 feet of extra space behind the drivers' seat - differentiating it from the existing D-Max pickup. The additional room can be used for carrying personal belongings, luggage and pets that require care.
According to Takashi Kikuchi, president and managing director, Isuzu Motors India said, the space cab is targeted at the owner driven customer.
"In India, the pickup truck segment is one of the largest and fastest growing segments in commercial vehicles (CV), accounting to 35 percent of the total market - we estimate India to be the world's largest pickup truck market by 2023," he said.
"The Isuzu D-MAX is one of the world's favourite pickup truck brands, preferred world over," he added.
The D-Max range is powered by a 2.5 litre diesel engine and boasts of features like air conditioning and power windows, offering a "refined global experience" to customers, many of whom will be from medium and small entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and 3 cities.
The pickup will be assembled at the Hindustan Motors Chennai car plant where the company's MU-7 SUV is also assembled. The three versions of the pickup have been priced between Rs.7 to 8 lakh.
Currently, Isuzu has nine dealerships in the country and aims to increase this to 60 by 2016.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)
Shadow of a Doubt (1943)
"Shadow of a Doubt may be considered an exploration and indictment of the increasingly chaotic nature of American life during the period. In ways, it seems even more despairing than the war-related dramas since if inscribes the incipient psychoses of American life in 'ordinary' citizens without recourse to treacherous Nazis or hostile foreign powers. To accomplish this, Hitchcock employs the sort of nightmarish plot and shadowy visuals that are two of film noir's most consistently encountered traits, and the horror-film conventions which have strong resonances on political, cultural and psychoanalytical levels. Shadow of a Doubt refers to the vampire-movie tradition with surprising frequency. Uncle Charlie is like a vampire on the narrative as well as the visual level—an alien invader whose very presence contaminates the environment wherein he operates and threatens to corrupt others, especially those he chooses as targets. His activities also have the heavy overlay of sexual aggression that is common to the vampire genre."

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted Sri Marthanda Varma of the royal family four weeks to file his response to amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium's suggestions for renovation of Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
A Bench of Justices R.M. Lodha and A.K. Patnaik passed this order taking on record two reports of an expert committee.
Earlier, Mr. Subramanium said restoration of the moola vigraha, "which uses katu sharkara yogam, and the other deities in the sanctum sanctorum should be undertaken immediately and suitable parihara done." The silver sheeveli/utsava idols of Padmanabha, Narasimha and Krishna "have not been kept in proper shape and there are problems with their peethas. These idols have been found to be separated from their bases."
Mr. Subramanium said, "The temple is in urgent need of renovation and restoration of its priceless architecture, including the murals and the work done by sthapathis at the top of the gopuram." He suggested that an expert group headed by Dr. M. Velayudhan Nair be set up to undertake this task. Eminent historians such as Dr. M.G. Sashibhooshan, and a representative of Sri Marthanda Varma could be appointed as members.
Senior counsel K.K. Venugopal, appearing for Sri Marthanda Varma, said periodical maintenance and repairs were being attended to by the temple management. He, however, sought time for filing response to the suggestions and to the report of the expert committee.
Mr. Venugopal drew the court's attention to reports in Malayalam newspapers and an English daily attributing false statements to the amicus curiae. He said "these are extremely disturbing" and wanted the court to interfere.
The Bench told counsel that it was for the media to show self restraint in such matters. However, the Bench asked Mr. Subramanium to file a proper application so that it could consider passing an appropriate order at the next hearing on October 30.

patterns for depression or cognitive deficits for schizophrenia. In addition, nonspecific factors, such as poverty and aversive experiences in families (e.g., marital conflict, poor parenting), schools (e.g., school failure, poor peer relations), and communities (e.g., violence), have been shown to increase the risk for developing most MEB disorders and problems.
A more recent science base has solidified around the concept of developmental competencies that could inform the development of future interventions focused on the promotion of mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
Conclusion: Interventions designed to prevent MEB disorders and problems and those designed to promote mental, emotional, and behavioral health both frequently involve directly strengthening children's competencies and positive mental health or strengthening families, schools, or communities. However, improved knowledge pertaining to the conceptualization and assessment of developmental competencies is needed to better inform interventions.
The ways in which developmental competencies operate in a health-promoting capacity is less well understood, and additional research is needed to develop common measures that can be used in intervention research.
Recommendation 4-1: Research funders led by the National Institutes of Health, should increase funding for research on the etiology and development of competencies and healthy functioning of young people, as well as how healthy functioning protects against the development of MEB disorders.
Recommendation 4-2: The National Institutes of Health should develop measures of developmental competencies and positive mental health across developmental stages that are comparable to measures used for MEB disorders. These measures should be developed in consultation with leading research and other key stakeholders and routinely used in mental health promotion intervention studies.
Current knowledge on the development of MEB disorders among young people and characteristics of healthy development suggest the need for multiple lines of inquiry for future preventive intervention research.

Good Questions: Downsizing a Living Room
Los Angeles
Hello Apartment Therapy! My mom is downsizing and moving into a MUCH smaller space. The problem is the living room. It is an odd shape and there is a fireplace right up against the wall and next to it a sliding glass door. She wants to replace the door with french doors but is unsure of how to arrange her furniture...
She would love to have the focus on the fireplace. Is there anyway to do this without having two distinct seating areas? (There is a dining area opposite the fireplace) Any suggestions from the Apartment Therapy community would be much appreciated!! Thanks so much, Katherine
PS I didn't know which "area" to send this question to. Can it just be for the "main" section?
14 Comments
I'd say 2 chairs offset a bit, near the wall to the left of the fireplace. Then a long sofa facing those 2 chairs. A credenza or something similar to run the length of the back of the sofa.
I feel like the space is being so crammed towards that back corner. French doors sound nice, but I just feel like the space needs to be shifted a bit. I was going to suggest closing off the left side of the door area, but then realized that the natural lighting would be really bad then.
I think the best thing to do would be to try and treat this living area as 2 separate spaces rather than one (although I just read that you are trying to avoid that...) So maybe my advice isn't the best. Sorry about that!
Good luck!
I think I saw this room in a Seinfeld episode...
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Without a floorplan, I don't know what's happening behind the corner. But I'd place a long dining room table perpendicular to the fire place and have the seating area by the window. I really love lots of light, so I'm partial to those huge sliding doors and having the seating near there.
Nice space and (by NYC standards) it looks huge. Good luck.
Given the size of the space, it almost has to be 2 separate seating areas. If you arrange the furniture as one, your conversation area is going to be uncomfortably far apart. I'd do the area near the fireplace perhaps as a library or display area with 2 chairs, an ottoman, a table and an area rug. If she's downsizing, she can use this area to display some of her collectibles that probably don't have another home.
The far side of the room would make sense to do as a more traditional TV area with a sofa and chairs or 2 sofas. Again, an area rug is necessary to help define the space.
Thinking completely out of the box...
What if the dining room becomes part of the living room? Thus the fireplace becomes the focal point. Since there isn't a picture of the dining area - I can't say if that is feasible
Then creating a dining area in the larger part of the living room - it might be nice to have the dining table positioned to have a view of the garden.
So you are dividing the living room in half - but still only have one seating area....
This is a "much smaller space"? My whole apartment can fit in there! haha lucky her.
You could angle the sofa so it faces both the door and fireplace and place two chairs on either side with a coffee table in the middle. Putting up some 'built-in' bookshelves to the left of the fireplace on that wall would help to balance the corner. Use a sofa table (behind the soft obviously) and create a separate seating area in the other space.
There would be a need for two areas even if there was no fireplace. That's a big room and the door bisects it. I think French Doors would be great and give the place some architectural interest. Two chairs perpendicular to the fireplace and the sliding glass doors would be good. The chairs might overlap the windows, but with French Doors the opening would not be compromised. Then a couch against the wall facing the fireplace. This is the second house I've seen with the fireplace in such an awkward spot. In the other house the fireplace is ignored and the sitting area is in front of the doors with an armoire against the wall.
This is a great space - I really like it alot! When the French Doors go in, it will be even better.
Giant area rug anchors the seating area in front of the fireplace. Sofa goes on the far wall by the fireplace - end table and table lamp on the left, floor lamp on the right (by the fireplace) mirror/artwork centered above the sofa. Coffee table in the center, a pair of armchairs facing the sofa w/ an end table and lamp between them.
At the other end of the room where you're standing - make this Mom's Office/Study area where she can work on her laptop, do bills, write letters, etc. Bookcases/cabinets against the back wall (wireless and printer go inside the enclosed cabinet as well as stationary & wrapping paper, etc.) and an elegant freestanding writing table (@54-60" x 28"?) with drawers facing the seating area with a comfy upholstered chair, tablelamp and phone on her desk. Perhaps a slipper chair in this area as well so a visitor could sit with her here.
Get Mom a flatscreen TV and mount it on the wall to the left as you're facing the seating area with a short/shallow credenza below - When she wants to sit on the sofa & watch a movie, she can pull the screen to face the seating area, or she can move the TV to face her desk when she wishes to watch the news & weather from her desk while she writes or wraps presents.
You may want to call an architect and see if the fireplace can be shifted so that it moves to the corner. That would integrate it much more into the room so that one seating arrangement can take advantage of both the view and the fireplace (the seating in an L shape perpendicular to the French doors).
Hmm. I'm not really keen on French doors in this situation. The door on the left will not be able to open all the way. Plus, if the place is small you have to allow more space in front of French doors vs. sliders.
There's not many ways to decorate this room without doing two seating areas since it's too long and too narrow. The only way to have one seating area is to place it in the center of the room and then you will have tons of empty dead space on each side, which look horrible unless she has tons of bookshelves, curio cabinets, and what not to fill it up (and then that would all have to match).
Since you said she already has a dining area, it would be so more aesthetically pleasing to do two club chairs with a large ottoman by the fireplace and then use the rest of the room as a living room (maybe TV area). Sadly I doubt the doors would be the center of attention, but there's almost no set up which would allow both the fireplace and the doors to the center of attention - you have to pick one.
I agree -- two different seating areas. It looks like a great place for parties!
Forgive me, this doesn't specifically address the seating issue.
What if you extended the fireplace by adding brick to the adjacent wall? Details such as the brick shelf under the firebox and the white shelf as mantle could be continued and used for display/storage of wood and other fireplace supplies.
This would make the fireplace a greater focus of the room (instead of having it crammed awkwardly into the corner) and give you a lot more flexibility when it comes to arranging furniture. Sort of like enmnm's idea without actually moving the whole fireplace.
I think the best thing about this space is that you have room to work with different color, on the different walls. you could go with one color on the wall by the fireplace and another in the additional "tv/seating" area as everyone has suggested.
i fear the only thing you could do wrong with this room, is crowd it. the space is a great place for beautiful furniture design to stand out.
it may be worth your while to sell old pieces and work to build a solid, cohesive look. since the furniture is not separated by walls.
