This painting shows a moment in Goethe's dramatic poem Faust.
Faust stands with the demonic Mephistopheles behind an iron screen, and he first spies the chaste Marguerite emerging from a church. Faust demands that Mephistopheles secure Marguerite's love for him. Leys has followed Goethe's description in his depiction of Marguerite as a young woman of modest or lower social standing with red lips, glowing cheeks, and downcast eyes.
Like many nineteenth-century artists, Leys was interested in the Middle Ages. Here he dresses the characters in medieval costume and sets the scene at a medieval cathedral in Antwerp, Belgium.

There's not a lot of brands that we can say this for, but we've never met a Chanel nail polish we didn't like. They have a talent for launching crazy-cool color trends, but in a way that still feels loyal to the storied fashion house's refined history. What starlet hasn't been seen rocking Vamp on the red carpet? And who could forget the great Black Satin craze of 2006?
While many of the stand-out shades from the brand are limited-edition hues, which are off the shelves for good as soon as they sell out (farewell Peridot — we miss you already!), the permanent shade line-up offers up some truly stellar lacquer options to dress up your digits in style. Sure, there might be few among us who can afford to stock their closets with Chanel, but you can add a couple of these posh polishes to your stash and create the nail wardrobe of your dreams. Read on for our list of the essential Le Vernis lacquers every girl needs to own.

Everybody on here knew going into the season that we had huge holes on this team that desperately needed to be addressed. Through the first few weeks of the season we were able to disguise those flaws but now teams have adapted and we cant even beat the drudges of the league.
1. WR- Ireland traded away our #1 alpha WR who is having a career year and never made an attempt to replace him. Instead he gave us Naanee and bj cunningham. Knowing that we were going to take Tannehill in the draft this should have been addressed. Instead we send our rookie QB out there with the worst WR core in the leauge and it is now showing. Teams are Now only rushing 4 guys and dropping 7 in coverage because they know hartline or bess cant beat them deep so the young kid is forced to throw into double and triple coverage, hence the 5 combined ints in 2 games. It Just blows my mind that you would draft a rookie qb and not give him some weapons to help him develop instead he is now regressing and this could be a blow to him mentally. Blame goes to ireland.
2. Seem Threat TE- this team has desperately needed a playmaking TE since mcmichael was traded. Ireland has been here 5 years now and still hasnt addressed this issue it almost like he could care less. Fasano is a nice #2 TE but lets be honest he is not a dynamic playmaker and defenses do not gameplan for him. A seem threat TE is a QB's best friend. There is nothing like knowing you have a 6'6 target to be your security blanket. We took egnew in the 3rd round and he cant sniff the field. The steelers took paulson in the 7th and he actually contributes, how sad. Blame ireland.
3. Pass rush- Wake is the only legit pass rusher on this team. Vernon has made some nice special teams plays and has a few coverage sacks but that is it. We cant rely on one guy to get to the qb every game. We need multiple options and we dont have that and were being exposed. WHEN YOUR TEAM MVP IS A PUNTER SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG!!!!!!!
4. CB- Dont get me started on this trainwreck. Sean Smith is terrible and is constantly Out of position with his back turned. Another waste of a 2nd round pick. Carrol doesnt even belong on and nfl roster and wilson is a poor excuse for a nickel corner. We Signed marshall who was suppose to man the nickel but was forced into the boundary when we traded davis and now marshall is hurt. I still think the davis trade was a good move but for rj standford to be the backup plan was a joke. The whole secondary needs to be gutted next year because it has been exposed big time this year. The whole lack of personnel planning around this vital position is a joke. The nfl is a passing league now with spread 5 wr sets but ireland doesn't undestand that.
5. RG/RT- It was addressed but how succesful was it? Why we signed artis hicks to begin with is beyond me. Martin shows promise but his lack of strenght is a huge concern. He was getting abused last night and has been lately. Mario Williams threw him down like he was a 175lb kicker. I think martin ranks pretty low with PFF. Jerry has played ok but cannot get to the second level on run plays so we cant run the ball to the right side. And now whats most conerning is the fact that Long is a complete shell of himself and watching him get blown up by that washed up roid head merriman was confirmation for me to let him walk. Its concerning and now the running game is completely done we literally cannot run the football.
6. FS- Clemons has been servicable, nothing great but not horrible. His tackling has improved and he has 2ints but we need better than servicable. We need a ball hawking FS that makes plays more often. This position still hasnt been addressed since hill left and that failed attempt with gibril wilson was a joke. Reshad Jones has been a bright spot and had locked down the SS spot in my opinion.
This team is now being exposed of its weaknesess and i cannot sit here and tell u i have any faith at all with ireland handling these draft picks and cap space. My dream would be for Ross and Peterson to head up a search for a new gm and maybe bring in an omar kahn, decosta, or polian.

Kimshew & South Branch Kayaking with Chaco Ambassador Rusty Sage
Posted On: Monday, July 02, 2012 - Chaconians
One of my favorite towns in Northern California is Chico. I spent several years here studying Mechanical Engineering and paddling nearby rivers, most notably all the branches of the Feather Drainage.
Recently, I had one of the best whitewater weekends I have ever had paddling the Kimshew Creek to Upper West Branch aka "Lower Stash," totaling over 18 miles in length and dropping a total of over 3200 vertical feet in one day. This is one of the famed classics of California known for its relentless 30-40 foot waterfalls and difficulties in accessibility.
During the trip we attacked the South Branch of the Middle Fork. We paddled hard and experienced several tight moves throughout the run and finished off with a BANG! This run has one of the heaviest horizon lines that I have ever witnessed. Recently, someone called this section "the steepest section of whitewater ever run in a kayak" with its 120+ foot drops into the gorge.
Check out my video that I put together on this trip.

Recent Activity
An examination of Canada's workforce development system and policies at a time of high unemployment among Canada's immigrants, this report covers why a growing number of policymakers think that the system may need reform. It also offers recommendations for more effective workforce development policies.
In this panel discussion, Morten Kjaerum, Director of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), discussed the state of rights protection in Europe as well as his agency's role in this evolving arena, and speakers discussed shared challenges and opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic.
This report, the first in a series examining workforce development systems in three countries, focuses on the increasingly employer-led and flexible UK system that operates alongside centralized immigration and employment policies.
More than ever, human capital is seen as the ultimate resource. As a result, policymakers face the challenge of ensuring that workers have the skills and abilities to find productive employment and contribute to growth, innovation, and competitiveness in constantly evolving labor markets. Migrants' skills are often seen as an untapped resource that, with the right formula of policies, can bolster competitiveness and fuel productivity.
This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
Finding some of the deepest anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe within German public opinion, this report explores the relationship between German national identity and immigration. It provides an overview of demographics, trends, and current debates, with recommendation on how to challenge prevailing stereotypes of Muslims and ensure equal outcomes for immigrants and their descendants.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.

Which light meter would best suit landscapes?
October 03, 2003, 09:18:13 AM »
I use a Sekonic 508.
Lack of sensitivity
: At first I thought its lack of sensitivity (not getting a reading when the light is really low) was a drawback, until I found by experience that metering when it's that dark is pointless as the film recipricosity corrections get huge and the light changes a couple stops during those long twighlight exposures. Turns out low-light photography is more art than science. Use the existing-light exposure charts.
Existing light metering
: Very nice when I can't find some spot to meter. Typically I can find some zone 5 rock or clump of grass, or some bright zone 6 foliage to meter (I shoot transparencies, by the way, not B&W). But if I can't find something in the scene with a brightness level I trust, I extend the dome and get the incident light reading. It's usually a good exposure, but I often feel a lack of certainty in how the bright objects will appear. However, a spot meter can do exactly the same thing if you have a gray card or a 'calibrated' object you can meter instead (the palm or the back of your hand, for example).
Flash metering
: A very nice feature when I do portraits (rarely). It will combine multiple flashes (from different lamps) for an overall exposure. It also indicates relative exposure from each flash.
Reading in viewfinder
: This is the one thing I really miss. I'd like to see the EV reading inside the viewfinder of the spotmeter as I move from object to object. This would make it much easier to assess a scene for latitude (the brightness difference between the brightest and the darkest visible objects). For now I can point, click the meter trigger, look at the EV number, and repeat until I have the range. Some use of my own memory required.
There is, however, a memory button you can press to 'save' three readings and have them displayed on the analog exposure scale. I can then turn the wheel on the side (to select the shutter speed or aperture) to see where the three memorized exposures end up. This was a handy feature while I was learning exposure, but I don't need it much anymore.
Incident v. spot
: I find in general that the spot meter is far more useful a tool than the incident meter. The sort of decisions I make in the field: how bright do I want that rock to look? or what features in the scene am I willing to let drop into the shadows? are best answered with individual exposure readings. An indicent-light meter would get the overall scene exposed at the zone 5 level, but that leaves the exposure of the interesting things in the shot a little more to chance than I like.
Analog v. digital
: I could use an analog meter just as easily as my digital meter. My digital meter automatically lights up when it gets dark, but it's not that big a deal: I go to the charts when it's too dark to read the display unlit.
Lenscaps and watertightness
: Very important! My Sekonic meter is beat up bad, all scratched, permanently dusty on the outside, but becaus eit has a good lenscap with a lanyard, the front lens if still pristine, so I don't worry about lens flare or side-lit dust increasing my exposure reading. I shoot int he desert mostly, so I haven't needed a watertight meter, but the water seals also keep dust out of the meter, including the battery compartment. Not that a dust-free battery is important, but I know that when the battery gets dusty, it's time to worry about dust on the sensor.

I also have a Sekonic 508. however using Fuji Provia 100, I think I have received bad information by the dealer I bought the film from. I was told to spot for the highlights on slide film as it has a latitude of 3.5 stops. Just got though reading about exposure and gray cards and it seems I should spot for mid range (gray tone). Its frustrating to listen to people who are supoosed to be experts.

I was told to spot for the highlights on slide film as it has a latitude of 3.5 stops. Just got though reading about exposure and gray cards and it seems I should spot for mid range (gray tone).
The only bad info here in my book is "latitude of 3.5 stops". Are you sure he didn't say 2.5 stops?
Provia has a total dynamic range of 5 stops. Half that DR is for brightnesses above the mid point and half below. As soon as you exceed Provia's highlight ceiling of 2.5 stops above the mid point, you've over-exposed the film, lose all density, and get Pure White Light. (Great for your spiritual growth, not so great for impressing your peers.)
If the dynamic range of the scene is less than or equal to the DR of the film you are using, you can meter off the mid tones and no problem. As soon as the DR or the scene exceeds the film's, then you either have to control the highlights or accept the burn outs.

If you plan to buy the Sekonic 508, just be minded that though it is sold as a weather proof instrument, all the lettering comes off in the first sweaty or humid sessions. They DO NOT acknowledge this and they think we photographers clean our gear with industrial thinner.Its not a joke, its what I was told by them when I phoned in and they DID NOT replace nor fix my 2 month old meter.
I had Pentax spotmeters in the past and they are magnificent and very reliable meters. Not as fancy but really heavy duty instruments.

I have owned a load of meters over the years, from Luna Pro's (sensitive to being dropped) to Minolta flashmeter IV's, and Sekonic 508. I now use a Sekonic 608 and just got a 558 as a backup meter. I think the 558 is terrific and can highly recommend it, even over the 608. I really worked my 508 and 608, dropped the 608 more times than I care to admitt, and never had a single problem. The 508 made 8 trips to Mardi Gras, working the crazy street scene and has its share of beer and hurricanes splashed on them. The only complaint, I don't like the Sekonic cases, I ended up getting a Lightware case for use on my belt.
We require our students to buy 358's with the spot attachment, but its a poor solution and we're switching next year to the 558.

Hello again,
Besides the light meter in my camera I would like a recommendation on a quality light meter for use in the field. I usually use a ND grad in my scenes and would like a seperate unit to find quick and accurate foreground, background, and average readings and whatever. I like to buy excellent quality as I prefer to pay once and use something of this nature ad infinitum.
Also note I do take occasional family portraits as I'm sure we all do and would like the meter to be efficient in this case as well.
Your comments I'm sure will give me a good choice. Thanks,
Jerry Williams

Thanks for your indepth reply Bruce.
My first needs are to have spot reading of rocks foreground as you put it and find the greatest dynamic range within the rest of my composition (skies in particular) in ev if I could. e.g. I point the meter at the ground and read what I believe to be a proper exposure. I then point to the clouds or range of the skies.
Then I would read foreground probably averaged if the meter can do this (and it can as you have explained using incidental reading) but what about multiple spot readings and then choosing an computated average by the meter itself?.
With that set on the camera I should be well within the balance I need.
What I get with my 1Ds on spot metering using the FEL button (with its I believe 6 lock positions) isn't bad but the constant movement of the camera, and its timed feature seems it would be easier to buy a meter and enjoy setting up my composition rather than getting the correct light reading with the camera.
Will it tell me that the skies are +4 greater than my foreground without calculating?
This would help clearly define the number of stops of grad I would use quickly.
Does it change either speed or aperture preferances by rolling or moving a button . I don't what's out there but I'm sure that if you have had your meter for long which it sounds like you have they must have adressed all the thing you would want today. The sekonic you describe the latest one I should consider? Does the Minolta have better features?
Last question if you had to get a gift of a light meter would this be your prefered choice?
Sorry for being all over the place as my office traffic has me moving in and out.
Thanks again for the info, anyone else with comments please,

A spot meter used properly is the best tool for the landscape photographer while incident meters can be useful for certain situations where you are closer to your subject. I just picked up a Sekonic 558 and find this dual-mode meter to be the best of both worlds as well as very versitile and accurate.

For landscape photography, a spot meter wins hands-down in my book. You can evaluate scene contrast, something an incident meter will not do. As for low light use, mine will read reliably down to EV 1.
An incident meter can be useful when you are actively lighting a scene - setting light levels yourself. An incident meter can be quicker to use, too, if all you have time for is one quick reading.
I once dropped my ten-year-companion Pentax Digital Spotmeter twenty feet onto concrete. It didn't even mark the case.
I never leave home without it, even when I'm shooting digital.

I too have a Sekonic 508. I`ve used it for about 3 years now, (shooting with Provia 100F almost exclusively) and have been delighted with it so far - though I suspect it tends very slightly towards underexposure. My own technique is very simple (I`m not a professional by the way!!) - I use it in spot mode most of the time and usually meter for the highlights (you`ve GOT to check difference between highlights and shadows anyway, to be safe) with for the most part great results in my landscapes and even the odd macro, regards Terry G

One old Pentax or Minolta spot meter is all you will ever need. That and some grey matter.
Everything else is BS.
Good luck,

Engineering is Elementary (EiE) is a nationally recognized and disseminated program developed by the Boston Museum of Science. The EiE program partners lessons in engineering with science curricula already in place in elementary schools. EiE materials make engineering fun and engaging for students by introducing them to children from a variety of cultures and backgrounds whose facing real world problems. Using engineering principles, students then work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics, and use their inquiry and problem-solving skills to design, create and improve possible solutions.
The mission of Engineering is Elementary is to foster engineering and technological literacy among ALL elementary-aged children.
EiE has reached nearly 5 million students and more than 65,000 teachers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The curriculum includes 20 units covering challenges from the design of water filters and parachutes to how to clean up an oil spill. Engineering is Elementary has been proven to increase students' interest in and confidence about engineering. EiE's 20 units present fun, engaging engineering challenges that allow students to apply science knowledge.
Orlando Science Center has become an endorsed site to provide Engineering is Elementary (EiE) Professional Development Workshops to the southeast. Our certified trainers can travel to any school in the state of Florida. Intensive hands-on training shows teachers first-hand how to embed this curriculum into the classroom and provides the necessary support for success. In these professional development workshops, teachers will undergo a six hour training. Each of the trainings will cover one unit of EIE curriculum that the teachers will subsequently be able to implement in their own classroom.

On Thursday, March 13, 2014, Orlando Science Center educators ventured to Castle Creek Elementary to facilitate "Engineering is Elementary" training to second grade teachers. The workshop was sponsored by Lockheed Martin and part of the "Engineering our Future" initiative.
Teachers engaged in hands-on, interactive STEM-based engineering design challenges. This particular unit, "Catching the Wind: Designing Windmills," highlights the field of mechanical engineering and educates the understanding of air as wind to design and create wind-powered machines. Teachers used their mechanical engineering skills to design sailboats and windmills that catch the wind, and will use the knowledge gained from the workshops to better educate their students.
EiE was developed by the Museum of Science, Boston and aims to increase students' interest in and confidence about engineering. EiE's 20 units present fun, engaging engineering challenges that allow students to apply science knowledge.

Being a Coach
"Don't underestimate the people. Let them decide."
-Thaksin Shinawatra, Politician
During the bus rides to our away games, I would listen to Cat Stevens' "Father and Son." I was the only female assistant college baseball coach in the country – but that didn't matter so much to me. What mattered to me was being a good coach; to help these young men become better baseball players and better people.
I was 16 when I told my hero/baseball coach that I wanted to be a college baseball coach. Immediately he laughed, and promised that no man would listen to a woman on a baseball field. Despite the lump in my throat, I ignored him, and decided I would still go after my dream. The truth is I didn't really believe him.
It was my third year coaching at Springfield College, when a Varsity player came up to me to ask for some fielding advice. He needed help. He didn't go to the Head Coach or even to the other two assistants, who all had some pro experience; he came to me. He asked. And I helped. Just like any coach would.
My 12u girls' all star team, the Sparks, play annually at Cooperstown Dreams Park. Imagine 103 boys' teams and our 13 girls. During one of our games, when Chelsea Baker, the knuckle ball pitcher, who has thrown two perfect games, was
pitching, we had over 700 fans watching the game. The fans, composed of mainly twelve year old boys who were also tournament participants, could be heard chanting in succession: "Baseball-For-All!" The boys were cheering for the girls – their fellow baseball players.
I like to joke that every time a girl strikes out a boy, she just made him a better father. Boys and girls, women and men, can enjoy the game of baseball together. I know being a female limits some of my understandings of what it is to become a man. But I do know something of what it takes to become a good father, a loving husband, and a happy person. And to me, that's the job of a good baseball coach – to teach how we can become better – on and off the field. Man or Woman.
2 Comments
My daughter was the only girl in the league last year, and she has always been one of my better players, and a natural leader. When she was out with and injured hand, she even helped me coach. She's a special girl that is capable of anythings when she puts her mind to it.
I'm glad that player came to you for help. Usually ther is one coach that a player feels very comfortable with, and that's great that you could make him feel that way.
'Minoring In Baseball'
great post I really agree with you and thanks a lot for sharing with us.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Brendan Ryan hit a two-run homer, Blake Beavan went seven solid innings and the Mariners downed the Athletics, 5-3, on Sunday in the finale of a three-game series.
Beavan (1-1) allowed three runs -- on a homer to Eric Sogard -- on six hits. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.
"I thought Blake pitched a good game," said Seattle manager Eric Wedge. "He executes pitches very well, does a good job with his fastball and his secondary stuff continues to get better and he continues to gain confidence in it, so another impressive performance."
Justin Smoak added a solo home run and finished with two RBI, Ichiro Suzuki doubled in a run and Brandon League picked up his fourth save of the season for the Mariners, who have won two straight.
Graham Godfrey (0-2) took the loss, allowing five runs -- three earned -- on six hits over five innings.
Both Ryan and Smoak hit their home runs with two outs. Ryan's came after a Kyle Seager leadoff double in the second and Smoak's solo shot came an inning later.
In the fifth, Kila Ka'aihue led off with a single before Beavan hit Anthony Recker with a pitch. Sogard then turned on a 3-1 fastball, sending it into the seats in right for a 3-3 tie.
Seattle responded in the bottom half. Chone Figgins drew a one-out walk and Dustin Ackley reached on an error by Jemile Weeks, placing runners at first and second. Suzuki followed with a double to right, scoring Figgins and Ackley crossed the plate on Smoak's groundout.
"I was a little disappointed in myself," said Godfrey. "Our offense showed some life, we get some momentum going and then I gave it right back to them. That's the one thing that will sting the most."
Oakland placed just one runner in scoring position the rest of the way. That came in the eighth, when Tom Wilhelmsen replaced Beavan and issued a leadoff walk to Coco Crisp. A Seth Smith groundout moved Crisp to second, but Wilhelmsen retired Yoenis Cespedes and Josh Reddick to end the inning.
The Athletics had seven hits and have now recorded less than 10 hits in each of their first 10 games, which ties their longest streak in franchise history (1978)...Seattle catcher/designated hitter Jesus Montero's eight-game hitting streak came to an end. He was 0-for-4.

What do you think of fear? Do we need? Can you take it out of your life?
i believe fear is useless. I believe it slows down your responses to situations lowers confidence, and fogs up the logic of situations.
When you're faced with a threat and you call Mr. Fear do you think he'll help you better than Mr. Willpower.
And just because you don't have fear doesn't you're Mr. Big Stuff,
or Mr. Hotshot. It means you can live more peacefully, not thinking about all the bad things that can happen to you and get ready for them. I don't feed into fear, I repel it.
Mar 16 2013: I believe that the fear is evolutionary justified. It have emerged as the responce that allowed our ancestors to avoid the things and situations that could be dangerous and deadly. It still serves today to prevent most of us from taking a pointless risk or harming ourselves.
But the thing is that we can overcome it. And the other species can't. So, we can go far beyond the borders of our nature and self-preservation instinct and face the things we fear... And overcome them.
Gail .
Mar 16 2013: Very well put.Mar 16 2013: Wow. I love your observation. You may have changed my thinking.Mar 17 2013: Hello Kateryna, TED Lover and Trey:>)
- 0
I agree that fear is a response that gives us information regarding how to avoid situations that could be dangerous, and it still serves us by providing information which may prevent us from taking pointless risks. I also believe that fear is very connected to instinct/intuition.
We can listen to the information fear provides, make decisions or choices, then let go of the fear. I believe it can slow down responses, lower confidence, and fog logical thinking WHEN/IF we get attached to the fear (feeding fear, as you said Trey), and allow fear to rule our lives. Fear, like other feelings and emotions, can flow through us, providing information that is helpful in the life adventure. When we get "stuck" in the fear, it is not as useful.
Bernie Amell
Mar 22 2013: There are many people who have a strongly vested interest in selling fear to as many of us as possible...it is the most effective way to make us controllable. As others have stated, there are few natural fears and many culturally induced ones. I say heed well the difference and distrust persons who too often counsel you to be fearful.

mary kariuki
Mar 20 2013: Fear is a sign/smyptom. Where fear exist, control is just around the corner. Fear arise when we try to be in control and certain about a thing. Is fear necessary? Can you take it out of your life? Yes fear is necessary to alert you when you crave for certainty and surety. Yes fear can be out of our lives if we surrender fully and have no expectations. The question is, is it possible to surrender and embrace the outcome irrespective of our expectations?
- +1
Mar 22 2013: Mary,
I agree that fear is a sign, and fear tactics are often used to control. I also agree that fear is a natural part of our "alert" system....intuition/instinct. That being said, is it a good idea to try to take fear out of our lives completely? Or do you think/feel we can be aware of the "alert" system, and not get "stuck" in the fear? Personally, I am grateful for the alert system/instinct/intuition, and I believe when we are aware of what is causing the fear, that part of it is beneficial to us.

Mar 17 2013: Yeah interesting. I do believe if your perception of danger is delusional, you have a mental problem.Mar 17 2013: Okay - maybe enjoyable was a bit strong. I was more concerned with making life longer. Good point.
Mar 17 2013: Yeah, certainly.
Eric Hazelle
Mar 16 2013: Fear is a natural part of our evolution. I'll bet if you suddenly discovered you were about to step on a rattlesnake, the adrenaline rush and flight / fight instincts of your reptilian brain stem would overwhelm any logic or coolness you might wish you had. At least until you'd gotten out of the way of the rattler's strike range. But, there are many other fears that hamper our progress; to that I would agree. Some people, by . . . "thinking about all the bad things that can happen . . . " wind up paralyzed and unable to do anything; paralysis by analysis. Government is famous for that, so I do think you have a point that needs development.Mar 19 2013: HI Trey.

I read that humans are born with only two fears.
One is fear of loud noises and the other is fear of falling.
If this still remains true then we are only born with two, not all these others that we develop, learn or are taught.
Teaching fear to another many times can be the fear of the one doing the teaching and that can have both beneficial and harmful effects.
A person who has learned about their own fears, understands them and knows how to face them and walk through them is probably more qualified to teach a younger person about that particular fear.
Since we learn more than we are born with, we have to learn to face them and walk through them just as we would falling and loud noises.
To me, a much more important question, is why do we teach fear?
I think it stems somewhat from either not really knowing what it is we believe in or not really trusting it.
The path I found myself on required "letting go of all old ideas absolutely", no matter what they are and whatever it is I believe in to trust it with complete abandon.
Some of what you say sounds true and I have found Mr. Tolle to be 100% correct in what he says.
If one can do this, they will of course have their sanity questioned, they might be shunned by others and told they're crazy but fear is not something we can destroy but it is something we can beat or defeat each time it rises up in front of us, either physically or psychically.
Now let's say one believes there is One who has all power and that one is God but finds themselves afraid. What could this mean? Could it mean they now believe in more than one God or power? I think so.
The biggest thing I have found is the fear of fear. Fearing fear rather than realizing that fear by itself can do nothing.
But we have senses and an animal that doesn't trust its senses will die and rather quickly too.
So, trusting our senses is something we have to learn and that means learning to trust what fear is telling us and trusting in how we respond to it.Mar 18 2013: We fear the uncertain, the unknown, the unexpected, the unfamiliar.
With this in mind, knowledge and experience seem like a good antidote to fear.
But we need to overcome fear to gain knowledge and experience.
So, all we need to do is to take a deep breath and make a small step forward.
Mar 22 2013: Arkady,
Do we need to "overcome" fear? Or would it be more beneficial to understand it and how it works? With knowledge and experience, fear/instinct/intuition can give us information. We can then choose how to use the information.
Mar 22 2013: When we begin understanding the unknown and uncertain, it becomes known and predictable. That's perhaps what "overcoming fear" means.
Mar 22 2013: OK Arkady....if that is what it means to you, I respect your choice:>)
Overcome: "to get the better of; overpower; overwhelm; to gain superiority; win"
I don't want to do any of that with fear. I choose to understand it and use it to the best of my ability, because I feel that it is a very natural part of being human. That being said, I do not feel it is natural to hold onto fear and/or live from a place of fear.Mar 17 2013: Tolle Part 2
E20 don't seek to become free of desire or "achieve" enlightenment. Become present. Be there as the observer of the mind. Instead of quoting the Buddha, be the Buddha, be "the awakened one," which is what the word buddha means. As long as I am/ (you are) mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachments, and aversions, and apart from them there is no "I" except as a mere possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet sprouted. In that state, even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future.
E21 Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind, which is to say as long as you are unconscious, spiritually speaking. I am talking here primarily of emotional pain, which is also the main cause of physical pain and physical disease. Resentment, hatred, self-pity, guilt, anger, depression, jealousy, and so on, even the slightest irritation, are all forms of pain. And every pleasure or emotional high contains within itself the seed of pain: its inseparable opposite, which will manifest in time.Mar 17 2013: Hi Lindsay how are You
In deed "repel"-ing fear only makes the original 10 time stronger
Here is a Tolle collection which might clear the understanding of fear
TPON Exercises (Second Section)
E15 to E21 ( FEAR / EMOTION / PAIN )
( cut straight out of The Power of Now )
From page 29 the middle of Chapter 1 on ET adds the topic of "Positive Emotions" to his discussion of Fear / Emotions / Pain
E15 Re: NON-Dual "Emotions " = Love / Joy / Peace are not Emotions
Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance. They lie beyond the emotions, on a much deeper level. Love, joy, and peace are deep states of Being or rather three aspects of the state of inner connectedness with Being. As such, they have no opposite.
E16 So you need to become fully conscious of your emotions and be able to feel them before you can feel that which lies beyond them.
Glimpses of love and joy or brief moments of deep peace are possible whenever a gap occurs in the stream of thought.
For most people, such gaps happen rarely and only accidentally, in moments when the mind is rendered "speechless," sometimes triggered by great beauty, extreme physical exertion, or even great danger. Suddenly, there is inner stillness. And within that stillness there is a subtle but intense joy, there is love, there is peace.
E 17 Emotions, on the other hand, being part of the dualistic mind, are subject to the law of opposites. This simply means that you cannot have good without bad. So in the unenlightened, mind-identified condition, what is sometimes wrongly called joy is the usually short-lived pleasure side of the continuously alternating pain/pleasure cycle. Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
E 18 Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
E19 Even when the sky is heavily overcast, the sun hasn't disappeared. It's still there on the other side of the clouds.
Mar 17 2013: Nice.Mar 17 2013: Look up our last conversation on this here at Ted. A fascinating read and lead to such contention and anger that the TED censors were very very very busy. I won't try to summarize it or characterize it except to say there were two competing points of view..one that fear is egoic and disempowering..something too be overcome..the other that fear is somehow a valid and intrinsic part of identity.Mar 17 2013: I'm torn. Part of me thinks there is legitimate and illegitimate fear. Then part thinks that if someone feels fear, it's always rational to some degree. I suppose one often has to do things in spite of fear to have an interesting life.
Mar 17 2013: Oh yes. If I knew in my I were going to die soon and I would never see my mother again, I would risk my life to see her one last even through fear.Mar 17 2013: Greg and Trey,
Could it be that what you call "legitimate" fear is instinctive warning signals, which guide us toward taking care of ourselves? And perhaps what you call "illegitimate" fear, is fear that we create by focusing and giving energy to fear based thoughts?
There is a good book called..."Feel the Fear and do it anyway", by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D
"Dynamic techniques for turning fear, indecision and anger into power, action, and love"
tom short
Mar 17 2013: Ignorance and/or lack of experience must account for significant amounts of fear, in general. Whether it's fear of flying, or fear of Muslims; fear that arises from having a gun shoved in your face, or fear from hiking a narrow path along the edge of a precipice; this discussion triggers two thoughts:
- +1
1. If we can somehow separate out the above sources of fear, and categorize them as a function of lack of experience or knowledge, what's left? (We probably all know or can think of people who would like remain mostly unafraid in any of the above situations - including in some cases ourselves).
2. Maybe what's left is this idea of legitimate fear - the kind that is often imposed on us by nature, or by other people - that has a very real possibilty of causing actual harm, intentional or otherwise, regardless of our previous life experience. Even then, hard to know what those are - just when you think you've identified one, someone pops up and says, "oh, yes, I've seen that/dealt with that a dozen times - no big deal."
Huh. So is the source of all fear really ever and only just us, and purely a function of our lack of knowledge and/or experience??? Hmmmm....
Mar 22 2013: I agree Tom, that lack of experience and knowledge can often account for fear, and I believe we CAN identify the sources of fear when we are aware of our "self". I believe that the fear which is our alert system/instinct/intuition is beneficial. When we are not clear about our fear, and the reality of our fear, it can lead to a situation where it builds on itself.....the feeling of fear often causes more fear....the only thing to fear, is fear itself!
If we have the knowledge, experience, and know ourselves, we can determine how to use the feeling of fear in a beneficial way....either to take steps to change a situation which may in reality be dangerous for us, or it may be simply an opportunity to learn about our "self" (in the case where we may be feeling fear which is not consistant with reality).Mar 17 2013: There is no reason to be "torn" on this question. I believe, all emotions in general and fear in particular are irrational (subconscious). It takes time to become aware of something and make a conscious decision. So, we have reactions built into our nervous system that work way faster than consciousness. We feel first and think later. I don't have data to prove it, but, for some reason, I have no doubt that neuroscience can confirm this.
What you call a "rational" or "legitimate" fear is an irrational fear that we later justify with reason. "Illegitimate fear" is fear that we cannot justify with reason. There is a trick, however. Hume said, "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them." So, we tend to rationalize whatever emotions we have anyway.Mar 17 2013: You may be right. However, back when Mr. Willpower was not around, Mr. Fear served for survival. When you are suddenly attacked by a predator, Mr. Fear instantly injects a dose of adrenalin into your blood, boosts physical performance of your muscles and increases chances of survival before you are even aware of what's going on. It still serves the same purpose.
Outside this situation, yes - needless worry and undue anxiety are, very much, counterproductive.
Mar 17 2013: Hmm, fear like a drug. that's interesting. Is it possible to induce adrenaline on my own accord anytime I want, without having to be afraid and without any outside forces?
Mar 17 2013: This is what roller coasters are for.
I've heard, yoga masters can even stop their heart at will. Controlling endocrine system might be cool. Who knows what can be achieved with those "religious" practices despised by science. But, perhaps, there is a reason why we normally cannot do that. The world is crazy enough as it is :-).
Mar 17 2013: Crazy indeed.Mar 22 2013: Not so crazy Trey.....really very interesting when we understand it!Mar 22 2013: Arkady and Trey,
Yes, I believe we can induce adrenaline without outside forces. I did it as an actor for years. However, with the process of putting ourselves in a situation, even with imagination, the adrenaline rush, and the experience may be as intense as if we are actually experiencing the situation in reality. That is why, when people live with a sense of fear, it is very real to them even if what they are afraid of is not reality.....make any sense?
It is, as you say Arkady....needless worry and undue anxiety which are counterproductive, and that is what I call getting "stuck" in the fear.Mar 17 2013: Hi Trey, What is fear to you exactly?
Mar 17 2013: To me fear stops you from doing certain things. People fear relationships, new places, and other new experiences. I believe fear puts a gap between you and your goal. But without fear people believe you are not human or there is something wrong with you. When you're in certain situations you can experience so much that you might lose your sense of fear because the demands of life can sometimes call you to be bsllsy. For me, it feels like I've done so much of this and experienced so many difficult things that I feel that life just calls for action without fear. I think action first, fear later.
Oh and also a funny thing as a side note. I have come to be very spiritual. In life I know you must fear something, at least one thing, that makes you human. So I left that fear to God. The great and powerful. I fear something that I may never see, so I guess things I encounter on a regular basis don't scare me so much because there seems to be a reason for every living creature, every dangerous moment.
Mar 17 2013: Fear has to do with our sense of safety and security. Many people feel uncomfortable without these feelings. But fear and desire for safety and security limit our freedom as you pointed out - we are afraid to go places and do things, we let TSA search us, we let government monitor our bank accounts and take away our money to pay us when we are old, we want to control guns ownership. But safety and security are an illusion. This world is inherently unsafe and insecure. We risk our life daily driving on a highway. When we realize that we are not in control, the fear subsides and we feel more freedom.
And I agree with you, religion puts a lot of emphasis on the idea that we are not in control. It's counter-intuitive, but I also find this idea liberating.
Mar 17 2013: Thanks Arkady.Mar 17 2013: 1.fear increases your response time and make you see better it also pumps adrenaline into your body so you can do you basic instinct of fight or flight 2.fear doesn't lower confidence without fear there wouldn't be confidence 3.no body cannot fear everyone does no matter what they say unless they have a serious mental illness 4. it's true that fear makes you think of situations but that's good it's supposed to do that if you had no fear jumping off a cliff might sound like a good idea because you would think or fear the result 5. you may repel it but you still have it

We need fear.
It is a kind of suffering.
Suffering is the mother of happiness.
Happiness makes us keep our DNA alive ---- the goal of our life.

What do I think of fear? In the words of a famous person from the past...."The only thing we need to fear is fear itself"
Do we need it? Yes, we do.....it's a way to stay safe at times.
Can you take it out of your life? Yes, getting rid of fear is a great undo-it-yourself project. Being overly fearful is damaging to us.
I like how you said in your introduction that once you learn to let go of fear life is more peaceful. I agree with you.
Great topic! I hope you enjoy the two talks. The second one is one of my favorites.
Mar 16 2013: I think I'll enjoy the talks and then tell what I thought of themMar 17 2013: I loved the one with Tim Ferris. The one with the woman not as much. This really taught me a lot, and I might be able to apply these ideas in real life.
Mar 17 2013: So glad you enjoyed Ferris' talk. I watched it again today.
- 0
At first it seems he's just talking about new experiences.....but at the end of the talk he brings it all together very nicely.
Mar 17 2013: It took a turn when he talked about how he almost died in the water.Mar 16 2013: The opposite of love is not hate. It is fear. Whether it's choosing work, or going to war - choices are made on the basis of one or the other. Hunter-gatherers and vernacular societies had it easy - they chose what to do for work based on what they were good at, which in turn became something they loved (ever meet a cabinet maker who hated the smell of sawdust; or couldn't make a clean joint??).
The more money and 'things' that swirl around a society, the greater the risk of becoming more fear-based. What is 'subsistence' in the USA, anyways? Does not having a 42" flat panel constitute impoverished? Only owning one, old beat up car? Fear of not having 'things' drives a lot of irrational, or at least unsustainable, behavior. See discussion in other forum about how to raise creative children. It takes courage to overcome fear of not having stuff in order to follow one's passion for, say, a life in the creative arts. Seems to me there was a time (admittedly with its own set of problems and downsides that probably far outweighed whatever goodness we imagine existed) when this was not always the case.
Mar 16 2013: I like how you put fear in a different way. It's interesting to think how fear has evolved and shaped us.Mar 17 2013: I agree Tom, that at any given time, we are coming from a base of love or fear. We can be living a life that is love based and still experience times of fear. When our life becomes fear based, however, it creates a totally different life experience, which you insightfully express Tom:>)Mar 16 2013: Fear has evolved with the species. Certainly there are animals that would be characterized as cautious or fearful. Maybe this seem stronger than I intend, do you want a long enjoyable life? Fear may help to have one.

Summit Article letter re: Baboon Hang
Royal Robbins letter responding to Bob Swift's submission to Summit Magazine.
Chuck Pratt demonstrates the Baboon Hang, a technique that could save your life after a fall when tied in to a Swami or directly to the rope. The climber turns upside down and puts a sling over his or her legs and then rights themself eliminating the pressure on their lungs. A climber had about 10 minutes to do this before passing out and suffocating.

How long will a 17Ah battery last in a heavyweight robot?
|Admin (Admin)
Board Administrator
Username: Admin
Post Number: 12
Registered: 10-2004
This naturally depends on how quickly it is discharged but is also a bit more complicated than that. Firstly it depends on the robot, its motors, the amount of torque needed to drive it and how you drive it. A common set up in heavyweights is to use a pair of Bosch 750W motors at 24V. These motors have a current consumption of 40A at their nominal 750W output power. Let's assume an average consumption of 30A per motor for a 5 minute fight which adds up to 60A for 5 minutes or 60/12 = 5Ah.
You would naturally assume that a pair of 17Ah batteries would be far too big but no. The 17Ah is based on a 20hr discharge, as you discharge the battery more quickly, the effective Ah capacity falls. Our tests on Yuasa batteries give an effective capacity of 33% of their 20hr rating on a 5 minute discharge. Europa give 38% and Hawker Odyssey 43%. Thus, for the worse case Yuasa a 17Ah battery would only give 5.6Ah which happens to be enough for our example above.
In practice, most teams do use 17Ah packs although some do use smaller but largely depends on gearbox ratio, 2 or 4 wheel drive etc. It is worth mentioning that the NiCD Bot-Packs have an effective capacity of 82% on a 5 minute discharge which is why 3 x 3Ah packs in parallel (9Ah) replaces 17Ah of SLA. In fact many users report a longer running time than with SLA's.

1 1/2 pounds
diced chicken breast meat
3/4 cup
chopped onion
1 1/4 cups
chopped celery
1 3/4 cups
chopped Granny Smith apples
1 cup
chicken broth
1/4 cup
nonfat milk
1 tablespoon
curry powder
1/4 teaspoon
1/3 cup
My hubby doesn't like apples in non-desert food so I skipped that but I think raisins would be better than apples. Found the curry flavor very bland so tripled it and added a two dashes each of cinnamon, cumin and chili powder. Also substituted low fat coconut milk for the regular low fat milk, tasted more like curry and added a few carrots to the mix.
Followed recipe exactly. Really lacks flavor. Next time would motify with more seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic cloves, and herbs. Mushrooms would also be a good addition.
41 Ratings
This recipe has a lot of potential when the changes that others mentioned are made, and my rating is for the tweaked version. I doubled the curry powder, and added 2 cloves of garlic, mushrooms, carrots, cranberries, salt, pepper, and the spices recommended by others, apart from the extra chilli. I added a splash of soy sauce at the end, too. It turned out beautifully. I think it would probably go better again (although would require a little more work) by frying up the spices, onions, garlic and chicken before popping them in the slow cooker. I noted someone was concerned about too much liquid in the final result. The apples do release a lot as they cook, so I decided to eliminate the milk, which can separate in slow cooking, by adding a 50g sachet of powdered coconut milk to the stock, which I made up with a full teaspoon of powder in a cup of boiling water. This was great. :-)
Really good. I enjoyed this meal with the additions of carrots instead of celery, cranraisins for color and tartness (put in just a few minutes before serving) and the additional spices of cumin, cinnamon and chili powder that another reviewer recommended. Also, for some texture, I didn't add the apples at the beginning but rather about half way through. I also used yogurt instead of milk. I served it with baked potatoes. The one thing that I don't like is that there seems to be more liquid left over than one may expect - but it still tastes really good and has some really unique and different flavor combos.
Really liked this recipe, however I added some extra quinoa and a touch of lemon juice. Served it with plain yogurt. Next time I may add some raisins too.
I tripled the curry and added garam marsala which I believ to be the wonder spice of eastern food. Delish!!!
SUGGESTIONS: Double all spices and add cinnamon, cumin, garlic and salt. Omit the apples and double the amount of quinoa. Add carrots.
NEXT TIME: I will try adding coconut milk and craisins
Four stars after the modifications. I listened to other reviewers and doubled the spices/added cinnamon, curry, chili powder and garlic. I omitted the apples and replaced them with potatoes. I also doubled the grains. Very tasty end result!
