Why are we here?
"It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, but it keeps me up at night."
Ok, seriously though, why do we even exist at all. I know everyone has their own ideas including myself, religious or not, but can you put that idea or belief to the test? The test being why are we here, what is the reason we exist at all. And if you believe god created us, why does he exist. Similarly, if the big bang created everything, why and for what reason or purpose? I am rather curios to hear everyone else's answer to this question.
Closing Statement from A Few Good Men
I think its clear below that we all have differing opinions on why we are here. I am very glad to see so much interest and discussion about this and I personally have expanded my own thoughts as to why we are here. I hope that everyone who's commented has also considered some of the differing view points too. Will there ever be a widely excepted answer to this question? Someday perhaps but I think for now, what each of us believe to be true is as good as knowing the actual answer. Thanks for your comments!
Jan 6 2013: Hi Jarred:>)
I don't need to know "why" I am here....I only need to know that I "am" here NOW.
Can I put my belief to the test? Yes....in every moment of the life experience. We all create our reasons for existance....or not!
I am one lilttle drop in the ocean that is our world. My intent is to flow with everything that "is" in the moment, keeping in mind that I contribute to the whole....or not....it is a choice. What we choose to believe is a choice....how we put our beliefs into practice is a choice....how we live our lives in each and every moment is a choice. I do not need to know any more than that to sleep peacefully at night:>)Dec 31 2012: We are here because we are not there. We are here for several purposes. We were born because our parents decided to have us, we fulfilled the purpose of bringing them the happiness they sought from us as babies, then we went on to bring them pride, and further on to become their emotional supports in thier old age. During this process we realized and developed other purposes, like helping others, giving love to others, protecting others, and becoming useful and contributing what we can to this world we share. Yet some choose to make greater contributions by building technology, buildings, systems, processes, that help make this world better and end up leaving behind something for others to develop further. Perhaps they believed that now that they are here, why ponder on "why?" and venture into "why not?" and by doing this we may realize or develop our own purposes, reasons and the answer to the "why?' eventually.
Now that we are here and not here for ever... why not make it spectacularly fantastic and change things for the better as much as we can?

Jan 2 2013: I think if you look at it we as an entire species are most productive when we are happy or we love something or something makes us feel wanted so i think its all about love and happiness and if you're not happy you're more likely to commit suicide and to paraphrase the original question Not be here. So I think we are here to be happy and love everything and everyone in our world.

Jan 1 2013: Hello Jarred,

Your question has been asked by man since our earliest beginnings. A good question because it indicates a thinking mind. We possess much more information today, but still these questions stir us to greater curiosity to keep the conversation going over eons of time. Good!
We are here, not because of an accident of evolution, but because of an original mind, parent to our mind we enjoy for thinking, who conceived of a long term plan of growth. Man cannot design purposes for himself and simultaneously admit to not knowing all. If we were omniscient, we would not need the question. Being non-omniscient, we are forced to conjecture, supposition, wondering, gazing in awe, and appreciating the gifts of life, formulated outside ourselves.
Early man was harassed by beasts and other aspects of nature and he wondered, 'Who is tormenting me'? Thinking man with far more knowledge is stirred on by advancing philosophy, evolving religions and revelation. Evolution and revelation work together to bring man to higher levels of clarity and understanding.
The tests you request are best addressed internally through your thoughts which may be adjusted as you grow and by listening to others as they write and speak their understandings of life purposes. There is a plan that involves all creatures and that plan includes for man an eternal purpose of never ending joy and adventure. Life here is just the beginning.
Someone wrote here on TED a few months ago that persons who are adamant God is only imagination are also imagining the big bang. No evidence of it. The why we are here cannot be found in an imagination of a material bang event. The true answers of why are found by going inside oneself and listening for the higher reaches of value and purposes.
Keep thinking. Congratulations on your water and fish projects in Washington!!!!!

Jan 6 2013: God said "I am that I am". We are made in God's image. That means that we are that we are. Do we need to know why? That question is never officially answered because it wasn't meant to be. If you knew why, would that make you a better person, or would it make you feel more like a puppet? You have the freedom to become whatever you want to be. Don't let needing to know why get in the way.

Jan 3 2013: Every human on earth is a child of God. We have a spirit and a body. The spirit comes from God, our body comes from our earthly parents. Before the earth was here we lived with God as spirits. In order for us to learn and grow God created an imperfect, hard world. I don't know if He used evolution to create it, maybe He did. But we came here to this place where we have to struggle, where we have pain and joy and family and death and disease and everything else imaginable. This life is like school. We can choose to learn from our experiences or not. We are free to choose the road that leads back to God or not. He wants us to return to Him and ultimately become like Him, and for that purpose has called prophets and established a church to show us that way. He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to make that way possible. He is willing to help us through this life, and loves each one of us, but will never force us one way or the other. That would defeat the purpose of coming here.

Jan 4 2013: Dear Scot,
Like I said, you go on your own journey while I go on mine, because as you have seen in so many debates be it in TedTalks or some where else, people will not agree.
What I do know is, I am living my life the way I have been programmed to do, just like the ants, the bees etc and I am impacting other peoples lives positively and that is what matters most to me.
Scot Wilcox
Jan 4 2013: I can respect that.Dec 31 2012: Why are we here? .
- +1
I think the idea of 'why' is a non-question because it covertly implies an unsubstantiated foundation (a purpose for existence) when theres no justification for that pretense.
Much like the question of 'what happens after we die?' Its not asking an intellectually honest question as Its already pointing to a conclusion that something must happen and thus, what is it?.. Its a flawed line of thought.
We should instead ask 'How', as asking and answering 'how are we here' would not only eventually give a legitimate answer at some point, but will inadvertanly explain the 'why' aswell. We should start here.Dec 31 2012: Being is what is.
You're just one viewpoint within the cosmic being, among many only one way to exist.
The reason you are is because everything else that is.Jan 2 2013: We are here because we are not somewhere else.
This is only a moment and one can only be in the moment.
If there is a consciousness of some kind after death, then the only place one will be, is in that moment.
That's' all it is anyway, a conscious awareness of a now moment.
That's all we have yet many try to travel into the past (which doesn't exist) or travel in to the future (which doesn't exist), and just thinking one can do this creates or causes pain and suffering. You can't actually travel to either of those "places".
Nowhere is where we all are.
There is no place to go. There is no destiny. There is only consciousness now, or no consciousness now.
Nothing exists. Nothing at all. Everything just is.
And now the present,
Is, isn't.
Jan 3 2013: Well said
Comment deleted
Jan 1 2013: Quite interesting ............ and contradictory . You just gave us a reason for your position (that with 'ask the goat') .
Comment deleted
Jan 1 2013: Simple :
Your position is that there is no reason for existence and you backed it up with 'ask the goat' ..... something like 'why there is no reason?' , your answer 'ask the goat' .
You need reasons to can have an opinion , it is obvious ........ that's why what's really puzzling is why ' there is no reason' (may it be a purpose) .Jan 6 2013: That is the question - why are You here? Regarding religion and science - people talk a lot of rubbish, and nobody knows anything, though they suspect everything. Even the famous boast of Socrates, that at least he knew he knew nothing, is entirely rhetorical and disingenuous. Whatever brought about your being can bear its own crosses. What are you doing here? Finessing your clever enquiring and not least provocative mind? Or passing the time? Religion and religious talk make my blood boil. That's why I am here. Because it fraught with half-knowledge, double-speak and passive aggression, not unlike Science and Scientistic talk.
And anyway, what's with this misty-eyed "we" business? I'm with Jonathan Swift on this one -
"I am everywhere for the individual. For example, I hate lawyers, but love my solicitor"
Why are we here? Well, we are here, like travellers caught in a holding area. Now what? The world, or at least the holding area, is your oyster. Traditionally travellers in such a predicament tell each other stories. Have you heard the one about the three wise men? Topical, and seasonal.
Jan 6 2013: "The ancient Oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing."
I do believe that that is the quote your looking for.
Jan 6 2013: I respect what you're saying, but am philosophically opposed to purism and perceived rigour, I think it silences objection in the wrong way. But many thanks for the reference - is that from the Crito?
Swift also wilfully misquoted - whatever he actually said is in a letter to Alexander Pope, and sounds a bit less like Groucho Marx.Jan 3 2013: I believe we are just one of the many species in this world that has been created for a specific purpose. Bees, tigers, insects etc are going about their given roles every day and so are we.
To understand why there are groups of human beings doing different things everyday instead of the same thing since we are all human, let me use an analogy to explain.
To me, different groups of humans are akin to the various types of cells in a tadpole egg; they may look the same structurally, but there is a group of cells in the egg that are programmed to eventually become the eye of the tadpole and another group of cells programmed to be the fin. I believe both these group of cells will never be able to see themselves as part of the tadpole. I don't think these cells will ever ask what their purposes are.
I don't think it serves me any purpose to find out my purpose in this world because I will never know and I am not programmed to discover the purpose; for me those who claim they know are to me mere speculation/conjecture.
Having said this, I do believe that there humans out there who are programmed to continue to want to discover where we are from .. I will just leave them to do so, while I continue my own "destined" journey.Jan 2 2013: Had you simply asked "Why are we here?", this might have been a viable conversation, but instead, you incapsulated the question with the same old black and white arguments of God/No God. So why not just ask God/No God? and forego the existentialist "why"?
As for the "we", neither you nor anybody else shall determine for me the why or purpose for my being here or anywhere. Nor I you.
Therefore the real question is -
Why are You here?
Jan 2 2013: I did simply ask "Why are we here?" And I would consider this a viable conversation. There's no need to talk down this discussion. If people choose to answer based on whether there is or is not a god, that's up to them not me. I just used the god vs. no god as examples of commonly argued points. Its up to those in the TED community to answer how they want. I think if you actually took some time to read the comments below you would find a lot more than just god vs. no god answers. And as for the "we" in the question, I want to know how people think we, meaning all of us, came to be here not just themselves.Jan 1 2013: What are we; we are right but misunderstand that right. We landed and are guided by that which created us to complete its end means and that is to expand the universe. The energy life form we landed on has also been comunicating with us. We crossed our reasoning with our creator, that which gave us life and our own thoughts.
If we succeed, we will destroy this planet as the last one by creating a black hole on its surface blowing up the planet sending us through space till we hit fertile soil again.
If the Earth succeeds in changing us we will live in eternity and enter a new phase in our existence...I call the trek years, but our creators have already sent a back up plan in case that happens.
So we fight them or destroy the earth along with ourselves...what would you prefer!Jan 1 2013: I think we are here as a result of a series of remarkable scientific coincidences and mutations.Jan 1 2013: IMHO,
Humans reached our maximum potential and fulfilled our existential purpose when we invented the chocolate doughnut. Enjoy them while you can. Happy New Year.

Jan 1 2013: Why not?

And for restful nights, become agnostic, and you will sleep like a stone ... :o)Dec 31 2012: The universe is here for no reason other than nothing is unstable and instability will eventually create a universe
We are here for no reason other than near by stars exploded causing shock waves in 2nd or 3rd generation star material that allowed the creation of terstrial planets around a rather unspectacular sun
Humans are here for no reason other than a big rock hit the earth 65 million years ago otherwise you would be a dinosaur pecking out your question using an opposible talon on a computer (probably not an Apple, more likely a Meat)
LIfe in general is here because there is energy to use and life will always find a way to use some energy left in the system. (this is in contrast to many members of my family whom apparently are not driven to use any energy at all)
Jan 1 2013: So you are here for no reason other than because I don't know what star exploded some millions of years ago .
I'm wondering how can a person with such perception (as long as he is enough aware of his perceptions) have a stable life : why not kill for example , because the star exploded ? so what ?
Jan 1 2013: Does having some arbitrary reason for existence cause ethics to exist? What would be a good enough existential reason for you to not kill? Would the arbitrary opinion of a being more powerful than us be enough for you?
Jan 1 2013: What are you impling ?
All I'm saying is that a certain view of life may cause instability (like the one above if fully understood) .Jan 1 2013: When I was a small child, I was afraid of the dark. When I got older, I realized that there was nothing in the dark to be afraid of.
I get my moral code from the same place that everyone else does. I create it myself. No one takes their moral code from any place or document, its always an internal source. They may claim otherwise but thats just because they are still afraid.
Your question indicates that you have never thought about it to any great depth because you have the same delusion many do, that morality is provided by an external source. It is not.
Jan 1 2013: Gordon Barker :
I'm just impling the good and the evil transcends us (not that the morality is provided by an external source or anything else ).............. why are we here ? look a part of our beings - the ethics that transcends us , then why you say there is no reason for our existence ?
What about you were created too ? by the people you lived with , by the culture of the country you live in...... what about it ? In the end you were created by the star , right ? why this ? or you just stop at the star moment ? What right do you have to do that ? (the people impotence to do that is not a reason) .Jan 1 2013: Morals and ethics can and do come from our culture and upbringing. However, even though many of use share a common culture and similar upbringing, there still exists a wide range of behaviours from saint to sociopath. This lead me to believe that we decide how we are going to be more than we have it imprinted on us.
Why do you feel that not having a reason to be here causes instant instability.
I decided a long time ago to change my world view to suit the evidence (to the best of my understanding) rather than hold on to outdated precepts regardless of how comforting.
Jan 2 2013: Well , it's a bit contradictory to talk at the same time about 'we decide ... or we chose' and 'have it imprinted on us' . We are what we are because of the whole universe (and not only maybe) , there isn't too much 'option of choosing' here .
In my opinion you did very well to change your world view to fit the evidence , but what you do when there are no eveidence ? or when you just get at the end of the line ? ...... this is the case with the question 'why are we here' ? right ? so what you do ? you just stop ? it seems so . Partialy that's why I"m feeling that not having a reason to be here causes instability .
'I'm here only because a star exploded long time ago' , how do you feel about it ? are you all right with it ? I'm not , it's too trivial ,it's too empty of importance ...... .Jan 3 2013: I suppose I should have asked at the start of this thread ..why do you find a non-directed existence confusing (or whatever your real question is)
The implication here is that you prefer a directed existence which is usually phrased as ...my creator has a plan for me
If this is the case, what do you do when you want this but the creator doesn't really talk to you so you don't know if you are doing what you are supposed to.
If you think your creator talks to you perhaps YOU should be looking for better evidence
Jan 3 2013: I'm arguing only against the view that we are here with no ultimate purpose ( your view ) . You really seem to think that science is on your side , in my opinion it is not . I'm rather arguing for this opinion than for the existence of a Creator with a 'big plan for me' , ok ?
Science ask questions, there will never be sufficient evidence to understand everything about us and our universe , I think at this point 'to believe' is the most right thing a person could do .
To just remain in the bounds the evidence creates , to not use the all capacities an human being have (like this wonderful ones ' to trust' , 'to have faith ' ) ......... to do this things is against science and unhuman .Dec 31 2012: Anyone with any sense is here to play a game and have fun at it. Why are you here?Dec 31 2012: "Why are we here?"
Why does 1+1 equal 2? Why does pi equal 3.14...? Why do humans always need a reason behind something?
Kareem Fahim
Jan 1 2013: Because that is what makes us Humans?Dec 31 2012: I take the traditional Christian view. Our reason for being here is to glorify our creator & enjoy him forever. He has always existed, &, as such, was not created so needs no reason for existence. He may have one, but we are not smart enough to understand.

Dec 31 2012: I believe that all are one, and that the singularity from which the big expansion evolved was/is sentient. That means that all are one with the singularity, that is an energy field rather than a personality.
- 0
Within this energy field, that is unlimited potentials, the me that writes to you here is a sentient coordinate point. I experience this life of me as a result of my "choice". I chose to come to experience my potentials and in this way, evolve. I chose my parents and the core circumstances of my life. All that I learn as I participate in this human experience, becomes part of all that is, has always been, and will always be.
Whether or not this life experience is "real" or not is not relevant to my immediate purpose. (There are theories that life is an illusion)
Because I am "aware" that I am part of the energy field, I can tap into it and use the enormous creative power that it is, to manifest those things and situations that I want to appear in this life. (Think "The Secret" on steroids). This exposes more potentials from which I can choose from the probabilities in order to evolve.
In this physical life, I live within a time construct that appears real (though it is not as real as it appears). From the greater perspective, time is understood differently and it is not a linear progression (as quantum physics is now suggesting).
What powerful creatures we are. Too bad so many prefer to be vulnerable and powerless. (In this context, vulnerable means that those who believe in their vulnerability are vulnerable. I cannot be harmed by another unless I choose to believe that I am vulnerable. I don't choose that. This is something that I have tested.)
There is a growing number of people who have this worldview, however strange it may seem to most.

The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
In this video conversation, Pete Enns sheds light on the key difference between the ancient and modern mind with regard to interpretation of texts. A literal understanding of Genesis from an ancient mindframe would not necessarily be the same as what we now think of as a literal reading.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
John Walton offers some important reminders in this video with regard to how we should approach a reading of the book of Genesis. While it is a text that is written for us—in the sense that it was written for all people in all times and places—it was not written to us.
The literary conventions employed in Genesis chapter 1 mark it out, not as a scientific document describing material origins, but as a theological polemic against surrounding ancient Near Eastern pagan religions. Creation language here and elsewhere in Scripture is not about establishing scientific origins of material substance and structure but about covenantal establishment and worldview.
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Region 1: EPA New England
The six most Northeastern states boast a vibrant, diverse and valued agricultural sector. Farming in New England is defined by our climate: a short but intense growing season; our geography: which ranges from sandy coastal areas to rocky hillsides and mountains; and our population density in urban areas.
New England's farms help maintain the unique character of this region with picturesque rural towns and landscapes. Spread throughout the New England states are nearly 28,000 farms, most of which are independently owned and operated. New England farmers produce a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and animal products - notably dairy products - which are in high demand by both individual consumers as well as by food service businesses.
New Englanders place a premium on locally grown fruits and vegetables. Our agricultural landscape is dotted by farm stands that market fresh produce directly to the consumer.

Midwest Living Review
Unless you're the type who doesn't mind driving dark rural roads after midnight, you'll need to plan ahead if you want to stay in small Walnut Grove during the popular outdoor Laura Ingalls Wilder pageants, and that most likely means camping. The closest hotels and B&Bs are a good 20 to 40 minutes away in Marshall, Springfield, Sleepy Eye and Windom.
The annual pageant runs during three weekends in July, and campsites for those weekends tend to book up completely by April. During hot, humid weather, the Plum Creek campground offers plenty of shade provided by mature cottonwoods and oak, along with hedges for additional privacy. That privacy is harder to come by in the bathrooms, though, with shower curtains instead of stall doors, but all in all, this is a nicely kept—and certainly the most convenient—place to stay in Walnut Grove. The campground includes a playground, a beach along the manmade Lake Laura, nine holes of disc golf and a few walking paths through the 205-acre county park. Guests without trailers or tents can also find cabins at Lake Shetek State Park, about 15 minutes south of Walnut Grove.
Plum Creek tent sites rent for $20 a night, electric sites for $25. Sites with water and electricity go for $27.50. Two-night minimum.

Thanksgiving is all about spending time with loved ones—human and animal alike. So it makes sense that we're tempted to fix Fido a plate of all the scrumptious holiday food we're eating, right? But wait! Put down the serving spoon. Are you sure that's safe for your pet? Here's what you need to know.
Ten Thanksgiving dangers. Some foods are totally off-limits to our furry pals. Ten of them are especially common around the holidays. Just say no to:
•candy with xylitol
•bread dough
•batter with raw eggs
•onions and garlic
•macadamia nuts
•raisins and grapes
•rich or spicy foods
Let's talk turkey. Good news for Fido! ASPCA experts say a little bite of plain turkey is usually safe for pets. If you decide to share, remember: Only boneless, well-cooked turkey is OK. Giving your pet undercooked or bone-in turkey, fat or gristle, or cooked bones for chewing is not OK.
Don't overdo it. Lots of us overindulge at the Thanksgiving table, but when our pets do, it can be a real problem. It's best to keep pets on their normal diets during the holidays, but if you do decide to share your holiday spread, make it just a taste. Eating too much can give your dog diarrhea, upset stomach, or even pancreatitis.
Play it safe. If your dog or cat consumes any potentially harmful foods or products, please consult your veterinarian, or the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 or www.aspca.org/apcc.
For more tips, visit our Thanksgiving safety page.
Have a happy—and safe—Thanksgiving!

Severe chest pain, shortness of breath, pounding heart, irregular heart beat, vomiting and diarrhea. Went to emergency and hospitalized. X-ray and cat scan normal. Echo/stress test showed healthy heart, but I went into Afib after treadmill, which resolved after 4 hours. After release I bought a steam inhaler, which cured my cough.
diarrhea, vomitting,and fatigue
I TAKE 250MG EVERY-OTHER DAY FOR A FREQUENTLY RE-OCURRING RESPIRATORY INFECTION. IT HAS DECREASED THE EFFECTS OF THE INFECTION AND IN THE LONG RUN I BELIEVE THIS IS A GOOD APPLICATION FOR THE PROBLEMS I HAVE. i HAVE BEEN ON THIS REGIMEN FOR 4 WEEKS AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY SIDE EFFECT YET.
I found this medication great, it only is 6 pills and you take 2 right away then 1 everyday until finished. I had absolutely NO side effects and it cleared up the pneumonia by the time my perscription was finished. I highly recommend this medication as does my son-in-law also.
I had an infection in my foot and my clinics and regular doctors kept giving me creams, finally went to ER and they gave me azithromycin and it went away the next day or two.
Got diarrhea from the pill. Didn't help my pneumonia it seems.
Got diarrhea from the pill. Didn't help my pneumonia it seems.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Utah's striking Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City
The Utah Natural History Museum is the caretaker of 1.2 million objects from the fields of paleontology, archeology, ethnology, entomology, vertebrate zoology, mineralogy, botany and malacology. Not only does the museum work to preserve these precious artifacts, it also actively works to study their collection and educate residents, schoolchildren and visitors. The new museum was built to house a significant portion of the collection and to provide interactive exhibits about the natural history of the region. Back in 2005, Todd Schliemann of Ennead was selected to come up with the design for the museum, which was recently completed at the end of 2011. Todd Schliemann and Don Weinreich led the design team with the help of GSBS Architects, Big-D Construction and Design Workshop for landscape architecture.
To come up with a design that represented the physical geography of Utah without being too literal, Todd Schliemann came for an extensive visit to tour the landscape. What he saw blew him away. He fell in love with the Grand Staircase, Escalante and Range Creek – an amazing archeological site kept hidden away and perfectly preserved by a careful rancher. His tour of the state greatly influenced the overall design, which is a cross between a huge cliff and a precious mineral. The faceted volume is covered in shimmering stripes of copper and is buried deep into the hillside as though it were a giant rock that has emerged from the earth. Board-formed concrete brings to mind stratified rock and native landscaping was designed to make it seem as though the building were part of the landscape and not something that just popped up.

Conan the Barbarian opens August 19 '11
A new remake of 'Conan the Barbarian' on the way. Looks interesting. There's a particularly engrossing trailer I discovered that shows him in a contest during his youth, but it's not possible to embed it at the moment. Too bad, as it's really very good.
Let's settle for this trailer.
Daily Z
Re: Conan the Barbarian opens August 19 '11
At least the original is a classic now or even a "cult" classic. The first Conan was so weird and goofy which is what made it entertaining to watch on some level. This remake doesn't bother me as much as usual because the style looks completely different. If they didn't call it Conan you'd might not notice it's a remake. I'm not saying it'll be a good movie because we can never know from a trailer but it does look pretty interesting so far.
Re: Conan the Barbarian opens August 19 '11
This is already available on DVD and netflix. Maybe it will be streaming soon. They appear to have released it to the public before the official date. Looks like it's not even living up to the original version for most people which is pretty sad. It got 23% on rotten tomatoes and 5/10 on IMDB. I think I'll still give it a watch sometime when I have a little time to waste and since my expectations will be very low, maybe it wont be as horrible as people say. Some people suggest going into it thinking it's a comedy.

I never saw this article posted, but it's interesting. McDaniel is a free agent, and there haven't been any rumors of him being in contract talks with Miami.
He's been injured quite a bit during the last couple of seasons, and guys like Kheeston Randall have made a player like McDaniel an afterthought.
this isn't much of a hot button issue, I just hadn't seen anybody talking about McDaniel at all.

Ana takes on world No.11 Nadia Petrova in the second round of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart on Thursday. It will be the 14th meeting between the pair, with Ana leading the head-to-head series 8-5.
Four of the 13 prevous encounters have taken place on clay. Petrova recorded the first victory, a 6-2, 6-2 win in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros eight years ago, but Ana has won the past three, including a 7-5, 6-1 win at the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open last year.
At the age of 30, Petrova is something of a veteran, but the former world No.2 is knocking on the door of the top 10 and showed her class at the tail-end of last season when she powered to the Tournament of Champions title with a 6-2, 6-1 demolition of former world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki.
Even more impressively, she romped to the Toray Pan Pacific Open title in Tokyo with wins over third-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska, No.6 Sara Errani and No.8 Samantha Stosur.
"I've played Nadia many times over the years, so we know each other's games very well.
"I've made a very good start to the clay court season and this is a new challenge that I am looking forward to. It's very tough, to play the world No.11 in the second round - that shows the strength of this tournament."

1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
raspberry jam
3 ounces
cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons
1 cup
white chocolate chips
2 (1 ounce) squares
semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon
Quite possibly one of the better, easy dessert recipes I've tried in awhile. Memorable actually. Rich, decadent and beautiful. Tender, buttery crust, creamy white chocolate filling, and the timeless combination of chocolate and raspberry. This unquestionably reminded me of petite gourmet desserts you'd find at fine quality brunch buffets. As I melted the semi-sweet chocolate, however, it didn't seem like it would be nearly enough to cover the top adequately. I doubled it, and was happy I did. Other than that, I prepared the recipe exactly as directed and was very pleased with it. I lined my pan with foil which made for easy cutting, not to mention a clean pan. For ease in cutting, run a thin-bladed knife under hot water and wipe dry before effortlessly gliding through the hardened chocolate. Hubs, who when he really enjoys something rates it four stars, exhuberantly exclaimed, "Ten!"
I'm not sure if it was the changes I made, but the recipe was just not my favorite. I used a sugar cookie bottom from store-bought refrigerator dough. Was really hard to get out of the glass pan. 1 cup of jam was waaay too much for a 9x9 pan. Would use a half cup next time. The cream cheese/white chocolate layer was yummy and I'm not a white chocolate fan. The glaze I omitted the shortening and made a "ganache" with whipping cream and used more glaze than called for. All in all, it was OK, though sooo challenging to get out of the pan and cut up. Stuff slid around and I could hardly keep the bars together. And that was after refrigerating.

I love these bars! I've made several batches over the years and they are superb! I find it easier to double the chocolate glaze and just pour it on top. The more chocolate, the better! I also don't hold back with the jam!
I initially gave this recipe a negative review because my husband didn't like it. He thought the bars were too creamy, which could have been my fault for using ricotta instead of cream cheese, but I also found them quite crumbly and messy. It turned out that all they needed was to firm up overnight in the refrigerator. The next day they were great.
Very decadent and delicious! They turned out fantastic. I baked them in a 9x13 pan which made them turn out a bit thin. I would recommend just a 9" aquare pan (or smaller) for more substantial results.
My friends really enjoyed these bars and all asked for the recipe.
I would have liked the crust to have been a little less crumbly.
More or less exactly what I had in mind when I was looking to make raspberry bars - I made them again, but used chocolate chip cookie dough as the crust. Delicious and chewy.
Very simple and easy to make, yet delicious! The taste gets 5 stars, but the fact that they are very gooey and messy to eat gives them 4 stars. Next time I will grease the bottom of the pan to make sure that the crust can come out cleaner.
Addictingly delicious! Instead of this crust I pressed the Easy Sugar Cookie into the pan. I also covered with the chocolate layer (not drizzled), then decorated the top with shredded coconut. Sooo good!

—Norm McPhee
Norman McPhee '63, '65 MFA was back in town recently. He couldn't miss the 100th anniversary celebration of the Caine Lyric Theatre. Since leaving USU, in fact, McPhee has missed very little in the theater world. It has been his life, his love, his muse; once it produced a front-and-center seat to events that would redefine the global political landscape. Theater did that.
From 1969 to 2001 McPhee gave all he had to Wisconsin's Racine Theatre Guild. He did a little of everything, of course, including serving as its managing/artistic director. Alongside community partners and loyal guild members, McPhee helped put Racine theater on the map, where it rests today as one of the top successes among some 4,000 community theater guilds in the United States.
In fact, during McPhee's tenure, the Racine group went from its original, 200-seat home — which, at various times, had served as a church, headquarters to a fraternal organization, home to Saturday-night boxing matches and wedding receptions (usually separate weekends) and as ground zero for the Racine Racing Pigeon Club. "They had built a loft so they could launch and recover pigeons," McPhee said, "that's how we got the fly system into the theater" — to what is today a custom-built facility, a $1 million budget and an audience of 4,000 annual-ticket holders.
But in 1991, McPhee found himself a world away from Racine, Wisconsin, stuck in Soviet Georgia, which was struggling for independence.
A few years earlier, at the World Amateur Theatre Festival held in the Netherlands, McPhee had brokered a theater exchange program with a Georgia troupe. Friendships had blossomed and the Georgians had already traveled to the United States twice as part of the deal. But logistically it was exhausting: language barriers and host families to find, even the FBI to placate (under "show-must-go-on" concessions, McPhee had been obliged to offer his guests additional "unobtrusive" staff members to serve as agent/bartenders and agent/ushers during the Georgian productions). Still, such international opportunities proved to be career-anchoring experiences, "because of the camaraderie that was built through the art," said McPhee.
But at the close of the Racine Theatre Guild's second trip to Georgia under the reciprocal agreement, history took over. The group had finished its run of Foxfire, and McPhee was just about to begin an additional 12 weeks on a directors' exchange to present an American play using Georgian actors. He and the Georgians had chosen Still the Mountain Wind, an original play written by USU graduate David Wright. With the venerable Vosco Call directing, McPhee and others had actually participated in the show during an earlier run at the Lyric Theatre in Logan, before USU became inextricably tied to the venue. And the play seemed the perfect fit for his new friends.
"When I first went to Georgia, at least to the Caucasus Mountains, I thought I was in Utah," the Logan-grown McPhee said.
But as McPhee was seeing his troupe off on its return home, chaos broke. "There was all this confusion going on at the airport," he said. "Everybody in Georgia was very, very upset by what was on the news."
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev had been kidnapped by hard-line Communists. The military was trying to take control of the government.
"They were very worried in Georgia," McPhee said, "because Georgia is a rebellious state, always has been. They had already had a standoff with the Russians in Tbilisi, the capital city, earlier that year."
McPhee was genuinely afraid for his departing troupe, and its members for him. But the Georgians told McPhee "not to worry," that if things got too wild, they could always take him and his brother-in-law, Jerry Allen — another USU graduate, who was to stay as McPhee's scene designer and assistant — to safety beyond the Turkish border.
"It was always 'not to worry,' with them," McPhee said, 'no problem.'"
Still McPhee admonished members of the Racine Theatre Guild to call him as soon as their plane arrived in Warsaw. But with the uprising, all the phone lines in Georgia had been severed. "I never heard from them again for six weeks," McPhee said.
Only later did he find out that, an hour into the flight, the Racine group made an unexpected landing on a military base somewhere in Russia. The plane didn't carry enough fuel to make it to Moscow. McPhee also later learned that, when they finally did make it to Moscow, the group's Georgian translator felt he owed his U.S. friends a sightseeing tour. With tanks blocking the roads and military vehicles everywhere, he talked the Americans' way into Red Square, where the remaining souvenir vendors welcomed their only customers of the day with open arms.
Back in Georgia, McPhee was hunkered at his host's home in the country, the property of which bordered another Russian military base. Helicopters ferrying troops into Georgia seemed incessant, and it reminded McPhee of his time stationed on North Island, in San Diego, during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In the Georgian countryside, McPhee fruitlessly tried shortwave radio to find information about what was happening. He couldn't contact Allen because his brother-in-law was in a completely different area with another host family. Ground travel was out of the question. There was nothing to read, no television to watch — not even McPhee's favorite programs of the Moscow Opera or the Bolshoi Ballet — and there was no public assembly allowed of any kind. Some Georgian citizens demonstrated with pitchforks and shovels, bats and clubs; 12-year-old kids carried rifles. The country was simply shut down.
But McPhee still had his USU play to do. He also became comfortable with the thought that, "well, you know, I'm here in history." So he grabbed a video camera with two American flag decals on it, put on an NBC T-shirt he happened to have, and followed a Japanese film crew everywhere it went. "I shot everything," he said. "I eventually gave all the footage to CNN."
Through it all McPhee and Allen found ways to continue rehearsing the play. But time was running out on their 12-week stay.
"We had this play to do and there could be no public assembly, no advertising of any kind," McPhee said.
It was then that his Georgian directing counterpart called the local chief of police, explained that he had an American director staging a play of "no political significance" and couldn't they allow just one performance before he had to return to the United States?
Permission was eventually granted but only under the stipulation that the play must begin at 5 p.m., use no advertising, and that the performance must end, with everybody off the streets by 9 p.m., "or they will be shot on site."
By then some phone service had been restored and McPhee's friends in the Georgian theater troupe started phone trees, calling everyone they knew. By 5 the evening of the performance, some 250 people made their way through military blockades to forget about things, if only briefly, through
experiencing the USU-influenced Still the Mountain Wind.
"That was an amazing and very emotional moment for me," McPhee said.
The Georgian troupe later added the play to its permanent repertoire. But for McPhee, all the work and all the stress, all the politics and all the life-threatening danger came down to a single performance — followed by that military curfew, more skirmishes here and there, more gunfire, more explosions, more breaking glass, and an early flight the following morning.
"At 4 a.m. my host thought he'd keep the car lights off and go very, very slow," McPhee said. "I said, "KEEP THE LIGHTS ON and go slow; we want to tell them that we're coming!'"
One show. One life forever changed.
At a blockade before the airport, the car McPhee was traveling in was searched, his passport scrutinized. But when the searchers were told that he was an American director, traveling to Moscow en route home, one more thing happened that McPhee will never forget.
"The Georgians had a great affinity for the United States. So the guy checked my passport, gave it back to me, stepped back from the car and saluted me," McPhee said. "He said, 'Please sir, don't think ill of Georgia.'"
Theater did that — when Norm McPhee sat at a window on history.

Jessie is a three-year-old Boxer in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and his pet parent loves him very much.
But in March, Jessie became a victim of domestic violence at the hands of his pet parent's former boyfriend. The man Jessie had once trusted slit his throat with a knife. Jessie lost so much blood he almost died.
A local humane law enforcement officer transported Jessie to an emergency clinic where he was rushed into surgery.
Things were "really touch-and-go for Jessie. We weren't sure if he was going to make it," Miranda Tipton of the Buncombe County Animal Shelter said at the time. "After experiencing this horrible trauma, we held our breath and hearts until we heard the good news that he made it through surgery. He came out of surgery at 11:30 P.M. and we were so relieved."
Today, Jessie is safe and sound, thanks in part to Asheville Humane's Safety Net, a program that helps reduce the number of animals entering shelters by assisting families with veterinary care, pet food, behavioral help and other services. It saved Jessie's life. Safety Net, just launched in 2012, is funded by the ASPCA.
We can support programs like the one that saved Jessie thanks to our generous donors—so if you can make a gift today, please consider it. Thank you for your generosity! It means the world.

Dig These Discs :: Linda Rondstadt, Billy Porter, Betty Who, Thievery Corporation, Shonen Knife
Just days before her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, famously versatile singer Linda Ronstadt releases "Duets," fourteen of her most memorable pairings with artists from Don Henley to Dolly Parton. "Kinky Boots" star Billy Porter drops his second album, "Billy's Back on Broadway," covering hits from the Great White Way. All-girl Japanese trio Shonen Knife releases their 20th studio album. DC-based duo Thievery Corporation releases their seventh album of bossa nova longing. And Aussie transplant Betty Who follows her hit single "Somebody Loves You" with her new EP, "Slow Dancing."
"Duets" (Linda Ronstadt)
Just days before her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, famously versatile singer Linda Ronstadt releases "Duets," fourteen of her most memorable pairings with artists from Don Henley to Dolly Parton (Ronstadt rules their duet of "I Never Will Marry"). These musical partnerships range from her 1976 cover of a Hank Williams song to her 2003 recording of "Sisters" with Bette Midler, plus a previously unreleased collaboration with Laurie Lewis, the a capella stunner, "Pretty Bird." She reaches beautiful vocal harmonies with Ann Savoy in "Walk Away Renee" and "I Can't Get Over You." Ronstadt's soprano has great range, allowing her to sing jazz, folk, country, Latin and Motown, all with ease. Her country-fried duet of "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)" teams her up with Emmylou Harris for results that simmer to perfection. She swings with James Taylor in "I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine." Among the two best pairings on the album are with Aaron Neville in the memorable "Don't Know Much" and "All My Life." This is the best a duet can be. Ronstadt hits commercial high peaks with "Somewhere Out There," the theme song to "An American Tail," with James Ingram, and the old chestnut "Moonlight in Vermont" with Frank Sinatra. Ronstadt is at her best when her fine voice is allowed to shine, and her inclusion in the Rock Hall is long overdue.
"Billy's Back on Broadway" (Billy Porter)
Yes, he is! It's been 10 years since the Pittsburgh-born singer has released a solo album, but what a difference a decade makes! Billy Porter is now playing to packed houses every night as "Lola" in the hit musical "Kinky Boots," which landed him a Tony Award (and every other theater award there is). And he's back with a new collection of 10 classics made famous on the Great White Way -- with a nod to Sammy Davis, Jr.'s similarly named album. A lot of the mix is happy; an understandable reaction, under Porter's present conditions. He starts things off with Liza Minnelli's "But The World Goes 'Round," singing, "Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad/ But the world goes round." He then launches into the "Gypsy" classic, "Everything's Coming Up Roses," singing, "I had a dream, a dream about you baby." He's no Bette Midler but he brings a sharp edge to this hit. He mellows out the Judy Garland combo "Happy Days Are Here Again/ Get Happy," which she sang to great effect with Barbra Streisand, with some help from Cyndi Lauper. Porter also tackles Streisand's "Don't Rain on My Parade" with élan, and brings crisp enunciation and a husky treble to the Loewe and Lerner hit "On The Street Where You Live." He presents the "Kinky Boots" cut, "I'm Not My Father's Son," and it's a bona fide transie tearjerker. This former gospel singer brings that sounds to the "Dreamgirls" hit "I Am Changing," and has great pipes, able to tackle soul and R&B, but his turn as a gender-bending drag queen has tacked on a sultry timbre to the work that is very welcome. In this case, his gospel cover of Frank Sinatra's "Luck Be a Lady" might as well be his cri de coeur. "It's been unbelievable to be given the opportunity to circle back to the original dream, which for me started way back in the '80s in Pittsburgh, when I dreamed of one day being a Broadway star," said Porter. With all his dreams having come true, Porter's ready to start working on some of yours.

"Slow Dancing" (Betty Who)
Australian singer/songwriter Jessica Anne Newham, aka Betty Who, got her start at four years old as a classically trained cellist, attending Interlochen Center for the Arts while during her teen years. She went on to Berklee College of Music in Boston, and met producer Peter Thomas, who paired her songs with a dreamy, anthemic style. The result was her debut single, "Somebody Loves You," which got immediate praise. By March 2014, it reached number one on Billboard's Dance/Club charts. It didn't hurt that gay man Spencer Stout proposed to his boyfriend Dustin in a choreographer routine to the song that went viral on the Interwebs. Now relocated to New York City, Betty Who drops her five-song EP, "Slow Dancing," this April. Her first single, "Heartbreak Dream," is an upbeat jumper with lyrics like, "it's us colliding, it's never finding when we should say when." Her bouncy pop songs are in the vein of Robyn or Katy Perry, two artists Betty names as influences. Her ballad "Alone Again" has a very Perry-esque chorus of "so come a little closer, closer/let me know if you're coming over, over." She begs her man to "kiss me like you mean it" in the '80s-vibed cut "Giving Me Away." Her poppy "Lovin' Start" has a good beat, and she finishes up with "Silas," an acoustic ballad that shows her range. Check it out so you can say you knew her back when...
