Could we orbit a telescopic satellite 1 light hour above the earth, and use it to zoom in on crimes, after the fact?
Just an odd thought... I assume it would be too far to get a clear image... but we are getting much better at that sort of thing...
Could we see if someone was really defending themselves in an infrared shot? A getaway vehicle? Or, is that too far to have any predictable orbit or make out something so small?

Jan 30 2013: You're idea requires information to travel faster than the speed of light.
- +2
Let's say a crime taking place somewhere on earth. We send a signal to the telescope to zoom in on that area. The signal we send to the telescope will take an hour to arrive as it can't travel faster than the speed of light. Therefore you can't record or watch an incident from before you sent the signal.
Jan 30 2013: For some reason I thought you could use infrared to communicate with the satellite, slightly faster than visible light... but now i'm pretty sure that's not true... Luckily it's not necessary. The flaw in my concept is the "light hour"... We don't need to have time to reposition the camera... We need a camera that is always taking a multi trillion point of light image of Los Angeles (or other crime ridden city)... all the time.. Then we can zoom into a part of that image with programming... After the fact. Good call though, that was a glaring, and obvious miscalculation on my part. Should have spent a bit more time thinking this out before i posted.
Jan 30 2013: When we say speed of light it means the speed of electromagnetic waves, which includes infrared. Nevertheless no signal can travel faster than this speed.
Basically what you are suggesting is surveillance everywhere. Many before you have suggested this idea and you do not need to travel into space to do so. But as much as it would lower crime rate I do not think it is a desirable idea to pursue.
Jan 31 2013: Like most things, it would be perfectly fine if people were... yeah, I don't know why for some reason I thought higher wavelength light moved faster last night... just pure brain fart.
Actually though... what I'm saying is a bit less intrusive. It would be absolutely impossible to view a photo of Los Angeles 24/7... and incredibly inefficient... The warrant system, however, would not be. If you have suffiecient evidence of a serious crime in a given time and area, you could ask for permission to view that area, specifically for that crime. Anything else you see would be inadmissable.
Obviously, you could do it the super creepy way too, and many governments would prefer that... but this would be much simpler. Ultimately though, yes, I'm just suggesting surveillance of major cities... after the fact. Keep it illegal to look in on people, make it legal to see what happened on the street when shots were fired.
And of course in my science fiction novel "Thank god we learned to communicate with high speed lasers, so we can view the past" : pJan 30 2013: wow, that idea so does not work for many reasons. you didn't do any research, did you?
first thing to research is how long is one light hour
second thing to research is how far the earth from the sun, and which planet is 1lh far
third thing to research is what is the highest orbit around the earth (hill sphere)
fourth thing to research is what spatial resolution would the most advanced telescope has, from it's angular resolution and the distance
in short: nope.
Jan 30 2013: Yup... Didn't even think about it for 2 minutes before posting... just knew something about it was impossible, and something about it was interesting. Impossible... both the orbit concept, and the concept of communicating with something faster than the light on earth changes.
Interesting... Our cameras are so good, and record so much information now, that you can use programs to actually zoom into their images, after the fact... So, it doesn't need to be a light hour away... It just needs to be taking the most detailed photo of Los Angeles (or whatever city it is designed for), every second... then law enforcement can zoom into the time and place of the crime, after the fact... and possible see a vehicle.
Infrared for determining self defense is probably still a dream, especially on multi floor buildings... but moore's law + great optics, and you never know.Feb 7 2013: It will be far cheaper planting RFID chips on every human being and pets in a community and have the movements traced for as long as the server can handle. Downside is: you sacrifice privacy.
In modern societies, we do leave electronic traces of our activities by swiping credit cards, using biometric entries, getting captured in surveillance cameras.Feb 6 2013: Cool concept.1 light/houre would be way out of orbit though.Feb 3 2013: Hi David
I believe this is what you are looking for:
Although I understand the need for surveillance, I believe the resources would be better spent preventing crime.Jan 31 2013: couldn't you achieve your desired outcome by simply having solar powered self contained cameras that record a continuous loop. (like a solar powered go-pro). Then when a crime is reported the authorities just download the loops from cameras in the area. I hope I haven't just given the government a scary idea.
Feb 1 2013: Yeah... Just thought the big one time cost might still be cheaper than going the London route, and less invasive.
Feb 1 2013: Soon we'll all have our own personal surveillance drones that fly around us 24/7 just in case something happens. Sort of like automated twitter really.Jan 31 2013: So, David, what is the charter of Foolish Marketing Solutions? Is this post an experiment?
Jan 31 2013: Naw, just goofing off... Knew something was impossible about this idea, and assumed I wouldn't find the direct answer on twitter/facebook etc. figured i'd let some bright people tear into me. Foolish Marketing Solutions, is just a little pet project... Offline viral marketing for small businesses I believe in.
Basically, I decided to try promoting local businesses, the way you would a concert, fight, politician, or non profit in LA... Venice Beach, concerts, and Public Events. I have an electric motorcycle shop, and small electric skateboard company I work with, but it's barely in infancy. I think I listed myself founder and CEO to remind me to kick my ass.
The truth is the business model I've designed is viral, so even if my company hits it big I don't own anything. It's like a pyramid scheme, without the pyramid. Promotions are codes, or coupons, which provide physical evidence of a product sold. Each salesman has his own code, and gets paid directly by the vendor. The benefit I get for recruiting and training, is a ground team that can get me more, and bigger clients, and the satisfaction of teaching someone how to support themselves... I work off the same commission as everyone else only when someone uses my sales code.
Unfortunately people who want to buy motorcycles, don't want electric ones... People who want electric vehicles, don't want motorcycles... and the skateboard is a really awesome toy/vehicle... that kids have to buy for themselves with a job a 16, cus parents aren't that crazy : p
Suffice to say, I'm not really in position to teach someone else to support themselves yet... but it's a fun side project, that will hopefully be my full time income some day. Has nothing to do with ted though, and i considered doing things on the internet like everyone else, but I like being outside... I like concerts and events. If I can keep it analog I'm going to.
Jan 31 2013: Thanks for the bio. I'll bet Wozniak and Jobs voiced lamentations in the infancy of assembling their hairbrained idea. Keep it real dude!
Gail .
Jan 30 2013: Theoretically, if you had the right telescope and the right cloudless day, yes. That's what Einstein said, anyhow. We don't look at the sun as it exists today. We see only what it was like 8 minutes ago. For some stars, it's millions and billions of years ago. Betelgeuse, which is 640 light years away might already have exploded. 640 light years ago, it was getting ready to do so.
- 0
It would have to be some POWERFUL (as yet non-existent) telescope to see a human crime in the making in his future and your past.Jan 30 2013: Let's assume that the camera technology will exist someday, because it probably will. However, one light-hour from earth is somewhere out around the orbit of Uranus, so it couldn't be made to orbit the Earth. Even Mars is within five light-minutes of Earth, so using cameras to look into the past is going to be problematic.Jan 30 2013: Okay there are real physical / physics limitations on many good ideas.
Jan 30 2013: I assumed this was the case... Just curious what they are. The light we detect from hubble was made to appear dramatically more precise through the use of an algorithm I believe... How good is it? Will Moore's law get us there?Jan 30 2013: Very unpractical. Just imagine the tremendous precision it would require just to keep track of earth, not considering it would only see, at most, half of the planet at any given time, other factors like clouds, storms and other atmospheric perturbations would hide wide areas. And the light reaching that satellite, I think, it would be too dim to get any details. Besides it would take at least one hour to send the commands for any required adjustments.
Jan 30 2013: Ahh yes... I was considering an orbit above major cities for example... but, the sun is only 8 light minutes away, so an orbit around earth farther away than that would be impossible. Would require 32 satellites... minimum... Pretty insane... better for sci fi than science.
Jan 30 2013: But I, for one, am delighted you are back with your ideas and have been wondering whether you were busy putting some of your more viable projects in motion.
Jan 31 2013: Thanks for that Fritzie. I miss a few of you guys too. I'm just getting too far off the beaten path to post in political debates now, and that's my favorite stuff talk about, so I've got to find another home for my ramblings. Writing more fiction at the moment.
If you thought any of my projects were viable, and you know people with drive, tell them to go for it. I'm probably gonna end up living in a forest or a desert somewhere without internet, someone might as well use them, lol.Jan 30 2013: At such distance, I don't think "oribit" (or more accurately spinning around the earth ) is a viable idea, just consider the tremendous speed a satellite like that should travel, at 1 hour light it would have to go at about 100 MILLION miles an hour in order to keep looking at a fixed point on earth, I don't know how much energy it would require, but I'm certain it is a veeeeeery huge amount, and at such distance I don't think there are any fuel stations, and options like solar panels won't provide even a small fraction of it, so how would you keep a continuous supply of fuel for such rocket???, how much would it cost???, who's going to pay for it???
There are other problems, like: the size of the orbit which in rough numbers is about 2 BILLION miles, so even if the satellite is the size of a base ball, there is a big chance for a collision with something big enough to destroy it... so how would you keep it safe???
So if the optical technology for such a project existed, a much better idea, from my point of view would be a set of several of such satellites located at "geo-static" locations...
One last problem: suppose the satellite informs you about a crime that happened 1 hour ago... no wait... the signal takes 1 hour to travel from the satellite to earth so actually the crime happened 2 hours ago... enough time for any criminal to leave the city.
Jan 31 2013: Yup completely impossible, didn't even look up how many light minutes away from the sun we were, there would not be gravity to support an orbit. I just came up with this after hearing about the new next gen telescope and programming NASA is working on, which could in essence re focus an image, after the picture was taken... and at the same time thinking about a short story where humans send a faster than light speed craft away from us with a camera, so we can remotely view the past.
So I just thought... Combine them... Even though the first actually makes the second completely unnecessary.
As to time though... I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, just give you what cars were in the area when shots went off... etc. Bits and pieces. Geostatic locations are the way to go.Jan 30 2013: more things to look up:
- orbital velocity and orbital period as functions of radius
- orbit types and their characteristics (especially geosynchronous and geostationary)
Jan 31 2013: The concept of orbit at 1 light hour was just bonkers... didn't think about how close the sun is in light time. It won't even feel our gravity. Geosynchronous (that's the one which maintaines the exact speed of the earth right?), pointed at static dense population centers, taking enourmous data pictures, which could then be subpoenaed, in portion, by law enforcement provided they have compelling evidence a crime was commited... would actually just make sense... but i'm sure they're already working on it, and you won't need a subpoena, or warrant, etc, they'll just pay people to watch us : pJan 31 2013: In my experience, David, those of us who are kind of "different" can often do a lot of good through unique sorts of creative interventions in the status quo- the "what is someone like you doing in a place like this?" situations. You have to decide its important enough, though, and situate yourself where you believe you can make a difference.
It can be stressful, and I totally understand the off-the-grid, in the woods pull.
Feb 1 2013: I'm not a very stressed out person. I'm just non violent, so I can't really make money in "polite" society. If you're not going to play the game, and make a living, there's not really much for you in cities.Feb 1 2013: I'm not violent or competitive either. What I meant is that trying to change things that just aren't right often means swimming upstream alone, which can be stressful and doesn't feel worth it to a lot of people. I have tended to do that sort of thing, speak truth to power as it were, because I can't just stand by and watch.
Feb 6 2013: You're not just standing and watching... You're contributing your energy and taxes... Have done so for your entire life. Society, culture, government, community... whatever you want to call it... It is the mechanism through which violent psychopaths, use fear and sex, to manipulate good men and women into commiting horrifc murders. The only solution, is for people to stop contributing. There is nothing to fear, except the violent nutjobs who believe they have the right to govern you. If something was good, it would not require forced participation.Feb 6 2013: So you don't see, then, how one could do more good than harm by working for something worthwhile?

As of 2014, MacGyver has now been off the air for more than twenty years.
And if MacGyver is like anyone else who has been retired for more than twenty years, this secret agent who could turn objects as simple as paper clips into weapons of destruction, defense or escape is now turning his attention to far more pressing matters at home. Such as, just how do I get those rust stains out of my white dress shirts? Or even, how can I quickly clean those hard water stains out of my refrigerator water dispenser?
For the benefit of all those that trusted in MacGyver to provide life hacks weekly – before life hacks were even a thing – here are five ways we envision MacGyver using his skills to ensure his home is free of both rust and hard water stains:
1. Trust In Lemon To Save Your Dress Shirts – To some, a squirt of lemon is simply a way to add flavor a piece of fish or glass of clean drinking water. But for those that deal with the occasional rust stains on white dress shirts, usually as a result of poorly filtered washing machines, lemon can be the secret ingredient to saving your injured clothing.
From a few sprinkles of lemon juice combined with a few minutes of steam, to lemon juice and salt rubbed into deeper stains, lemon is the savior ensuring you will never see an elderly MacGyver strolling through town in a rust stained dress shirt.
2. Battle Hard Water Stains & Crust With Vinegar
Hard water stains can add an unpleasant crust to everything from your silverware to your refrigerator dispenser, pictured to the left. Also as shown to the left, in an image that could be pulled from an elderly MacGyver's scrapbook (but in this case, is pulled from Thrifty and Chic) vinegar is a far more effective hard water solution than store bought Windex.
3. Introduce Your Shower to Epsom Salts – glass shower doors give your bathroom a sleek and modern look. And attract hard water stains like no other. To clean hard water stains in his shower, MacGyver would just mix up a solution made up primarily of Epsom salts that he knows by heart. As we are guessing you are not MacGyver, we'd direct you to the same recipe he trusts, over here at PopSugar.
4. Partner With Baking Soda To Save Stainless Steel From Rust Stains – stainless steel appliances are particularly vulnerable to rust stains, requiring more protection from you. Fortunately, with just a simple solution of baking soda and water, scrubbed into a stain with a toothbrush, and rinsed away with a paper towel, you can protect your stainless steel appliances for years to come in a way that would make MacGyver proud.
5. Invest in Cerama Bryte – If MacGyver is like many retired men, we may rightly assume that he prefers to spend more time on his hobbies and interests than on anything that reminds him of his former job. So rather than mix up a cleaning solution from random items around the house, maybe he invests in either a stainless steel cleaning kit or ceramic cooktop cleaner kit from Cerama Bryte, found here and here respectively. Proudly offered on our site, Cerama Bryte products help you quickly clean and maintain your appliances using a phosphate free formula. Sometimes, even MacGyver prefers the easiest possible solution.

- preserve, protect, enhance, perpetuate, and promote the use of structures and areas of historical, cultural, architectural, engineering, archaeological, or geographic significance located in the city
- strengthen the city's economic base by stimulating the tourist industry
- enhance the identity of the city by protecting the city's heritage and prohibiting the unnecessary destruction or defacement of its cultural assets
- conserve existing urban developments as viable economic and social entities
The LUCC is composed of seven members. Currently, the LUCC has two licensed real estate professionals, one cultural historian, two registered architects and one attorney. Two of the Commissioners own property in a historic zone.
Current Commissioners are:
- James Clark, Chair
- Regina Chavez, VIce Chair
- Lauren Austin
- Robert Gerard Heiser
- Amy Horowitz
- J. Matt Myers. Esq.
The duties and responsibilities of the LUCC are:
- Conduct studies and programs designed to identify and evaluate structures and areas worthy of conservation, and to review the status of structures and zones already designated
- Recommend to the Mayor and the City Council landmarks to be designated by the Council
- Conduct public hearings on applications for historic or urban conservation overlay zone
- Prepare and adopt specific development guideline for any designated landmark, historic zone or urban conservation overlay zone
- Make decisions on applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for alteration, new construction or demolition
- Disseminate information to the public concerning historic preservation and urban conservation and seek input form groups and individuals about these matters.
- Consider methods for encouraging and achieving historic preservation and urban conservation and make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
It's a new "Night" and "Museum" for Larry Daley, who is joined by several other characters from the original film, including cowboy Jedediah and Teddy Roosevelt, as well as new characters from history like Amelia Earhart, villainous Egyptian pharaoh Kahmunrah, Russian tyrant Ivan the Terrible and Napoleon. The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world's largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart flew on her nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone's rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy's ruby red slippers and Archie Bunker's lounge chair.

But as any party-hopper knows, the best part of the night is the unexpected. So, despite having our own itinerary Friday eve, we also decided to go with the flow—our mantra was simply "TGIF FNO." We hit our own DVF bash first (and had a lovely chat with the designer herself), before bundling into a borrowed Volkswagen Touareg and hitting the uptown scene. We watched Judah Friedlander play poker with Molly Simms and Devon Aoki at Valentino. Courtney Love tried on ball gowns at Valentino.

QUEHANNA – Standing in the parking lot at the Pennsylvania Game Commission's elk check station in Quehanna on Monday afternoon, the words on Muncy resident Jeff Trought's Duck Dynasty-themed T-shirt perfectly described how he was feeling: "Happy, happy, happy."
Hunting in Elk Hunt Zone 4, the majority of which is located in Cameron County, and guided by Cody Ball of Hicks Run Outfitters, Trought had harvested an impressive looking 8x8 bull elk earlier that morning.
QUEHANNA – The 86 individuals drawn for elk licenses in this year's drawing represented only a small fraction of the 22,331 hunters who applied. Additionally, many of those individuals had been applying for years and had accrued a number of preference points, resulting in 116,734 entries being in this year's drawing.
Given those numbers the odds of a first-time applicant being selected, much less for one of the 26 available bull tags, seemed to be slim, but that is exactly what happened for Catawissa resident William Gifford.
HERSHEY – Amidst abundant sunshine and beautiful weather in southwest Pennsylvania, the Kane Wolves cross country team finished 14th at this weekend's PIAA cross country championships in Hershey.
QUEHANNA – When Randy Caldwell's friends first called him to tell him he had been drawn for a bull elk license in this year's weeklong elk hunt he thought they were playing a practical joke on him.
The Export native recalled that he was in disbelief at first after friends told him they saw in the paper that his name had been drawn.
DuBOIS—DuBois Lanes hosted the second District 4 youth gold pin tournament Sunday afternoon with Cyclone's Wayne Putnam claiming the title.
Twenty-two bowlers bowled a three-game qualifying round with the top five bowlers matching up in the step ladder finals.
QUEHANNA – Jim Scharnitz of Northampton got to have the experience of a lifetime on Monday morning as he successfully harvested a 7x6 bull elk while hunting with his father and guides from Elk County Outfitters.
QUEHANNA – As of just after 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon a total of 17 elk had been brought to the Pennsylvania Game Commission's elk check station in Quehanna. The animals were all harvested on the opening day of this year's elk hunt and consisted of seven bulls and 10 cows. The 17 tags were among 86 awarded to hunters this year, with 26 tags being drawn for antlered elk and 60 for antlerless.
The Mt. Jewett Sportsmen's Club held its annual Duane Hipchen Memorial "Pump Gun" sporting clays shoot. Chris Kline claimed "TOP GUN" honors with a score of 45 out of 50. Andrew Peterson defended his Jr. "TOP GUN"Â title by winning it for the second year in a row with a 29.
The Kane Wolves won the Allegheny Mountain League title with a 36-6 win over Sheffield on Friday night at Paul R Miller Stadium. The Wolverines, buoyed by a big contingent of fans that made the 18-mile trip up state Route 6, trailed only 14-0 at the half, but the Wolves were too much for the visitors in the second half and went on to win their fourth league title since 2000.
The Kane Wolves defeated the Sheffield Wolverines 34-6 back on Aug. 31 in both teams' season openers. Both Kane coach Todd Silfies and Sheffield coach Dave Fitch know that the Sheffield team that lost to the Wolves in week one is not the same Wolverine team that will take the field tonight in the AML championship.

PdR: I'm feeling positive. At the start of the year it would have been hard to imagine that we would be fifth in the championship after nine races, but that's what we've achieved. Every part of the team is working well and that's been the key. There have been some missed opportunities, but we've always recovered well and been able to keep the momentum going.
Q: What memories do you have from your previous visits to Hungary?
PdR: I've always enjoyed going to Budapest since I first visited in 2010 when I was the team's third driver. It's an historic city and I usually stay very close to the river in the centre. It's full of interesting places and great restaurants. My racing memories are mixed, but the 2011 race was an exciting one on a damp track. I finished seventh - which was my best finish in Formula One at the time.
Q: Tell us about the challenge of the track?
PdR: It's very demanding physically and mentally because you are nearly always in a corner. The layout feels more like a street track and all the corners flow into each other so you need to find the rhythm of the track and build your confidence with each lap. By the time the track is fully rubbered in it feels very satisfying to drive.
Q: How do you rate your chances for this year's race?
PdR: There's no reason why we can't be competitive. The big unknown is the new Pirelli tyres. It's a big challenge for all the teams to try and get on top of them quickly. It's hard to say if they will impact on the performance level of the teams, but we will go into the weekend with the same approach and then target Q3 on Saturday and points on Sunday.
Adrian Sutil
Q: Adrian, the Hungarian Grand Prix is your 100th race in Formula One. How does it feel to reach this landmark?
AS: It's hard to believe how quickly time goes by! It's a big milestone, for sure, but in the end it doesn't really change anything. My goals remain the same as when I started my first event and that's to win races. I still love the sport and I hope I can continue to drive these amazing cars for a long time.
Q: What memories do you have from your previous visits to Hungary?
AS: I've always enjoyed this event. It's the mid-way point of the year just before the holidays and the weather is usually very nice. But it's one of those places where I've not had much success. I've never scored points in Budapest so that's the first objective this year.
Q: Tell us about the challenge of the track?
AS: It's very tight and twisty and there are not many places where you can catch your breath, apart from the pit straight. It's dusty, too, and the track takes a while to clean up on Friday during practice. We usually run with maximum downforce there because after Monaco it's the slowest circuit on the calendar.
Q: How do you rate your chances for this year's race?
AS: It's difficult to say because it's the first race with a new tyre construction. The track is tight and we need to qualify well because there are not many opportunities to overtake.

ETSU men's cross country tabbed third; women 10th by A-Sun coaches
Requires Adobe Flash
Thursday, August 19, 2010
, Ga.
(Aug. 19, 2010)
- With the official start of the cross country season set to begin in two and a half weeks, the Atlantic Sun Conference released its preseason coaches poll Wednesday afternoon and the Buccaneer men were tabbed third, while the women were tenth.
ETSU received two first-place votes, with Kennesaw State, USC Upstate and Belmont being honored with the other selections. The Owls took home seven first-place nods (112 total votes) and the Spartans - who will host the 2010 A-Sun Championships - finished third with 100 votes. Overall, the Bucs tallied 96 votes.
The Bucs, who finished second behind Kennesaw State at last year's championship, return six letterwinners from that squad - including two-time all-conference selection
Ben Ronoh
(Sotik, Kenya). In addition to the six returners, head coach
David Walker
and his staff did a solid job on the recruiting trail, as ETSU brings in five newcomers in 2010. Despite having a lot of depth on the roster, the Bucs still need to replace two-time conference champion and seven-time A-Sun Runner of the Week recipient
Kenneth Rotich
(Nairobi, Kenya). Rotich, the reigning cross country conference champion, graduated in May.
On the women's side, Jacksonville was selected the top team as the 2009 A-Sun champions received nine first-place votes en route to earning 116 total points. North Florida was pegged second (98 votes) and USC Upstate and Kennesaw State both received 89 votes to tie for third.
The Lady Bucs, who will be led by senior
Caitlyn Epps
(Cookeville, Tenn.) in 2010, was picked above Stetson for 10th.
The Buccaneer cross country team opens their season at the Covered Bridge Open on Friday, Sept. 3 in Boone, N.C.

Searching for the fountain of youth? Don't neglect retinoids.
The vitamin A derivatives have been around for about 40 years, and dermatologists still regard them as indispensable in their anti-aging arsenal.
Retinoids minimize the appearance of wrinkles, bolster the thickness and elasticity of the skin, slow the breakdown of collagen, and lighten brown spots caused by sun exposure. They are safe for long-term use, and they offer a protective benefit from damaging rays.
"For dermatologists, they're a favorite because there's so much science behind it," says New Orleans dermatologist Patricia Farris, MD.
"I recommend retinoids to everybody," says Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob, MD. "If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, I like the ob-gyn to say it's OK, but everybody can benefit. It's never too early, really, to start using a retinoid product."
Retinoids first came to market in the early 1970s as an acne-fighting drug -- still among its primary uses. Since then, they have been used to treat psoriasis and warts and the wrinkles and blotchiness caused by sun exposure. They also seem to work on intrinsically, or naturally aged skin. One form of retinoic acid is even used to treat acute myeloid leukemia.
Jacob and Farris like to use retinoids as part of an overall skin-enhancing regimen that might include regular facial peels, Botox injections, and injectable fillers that erase lines around the mouth and eyes.
"Fillers and Botox don't help the appearance of the skin. You can have a facelift, but if you have discoloration, you won't have skin with clarity," Farris says. "I'm unlikely to do one thing without good topicals."
The Way Retinoids Work
Retinoids work by prompting surface skin cells to turn over and die rapidly, making way for new cell growth underneath. They inhibit the breakdown of collagen, the protein that keeps the skin firm, and thicken the deeper layer of skin where wrinkles get their start, Jacob says.
It is a common misconception, Farris says, that retinoids such as tretinoin and retinaldehyde thin the skin and thus leave it more vulnerable to sunburn. They typically cause peeling and redness in the first few weeks of use -- but the topicals actually thicken the epidermis.
"It doesn't make you more sensitive to the sun -- that's anecdotal," Farris says. "But you still have to wear sunscreens when you're on prescription retinoids. You can't be treating sun damage and then not protect yourself from the sun.''
For brown spots that give the skin an uneven tone, retinoids slough them off and inhibit the production of melanin, the darker pigment produced by melanocytes, pigment-producing skin cells, Jacob says.
Prescription v. Store-Bought Retinoids
For aging skin, dermatologists like to prescribe tretinoin and retinoic acid (Retin-A, Renova, Refissa) that is "100 times" as potent than the retinol-containing over-the-counter cosmeceuticals, Jacob says.
"Tretinoin works better because it has a stronger capability of preventing the breakdown of collagen," she says. "I prescribe it to my patients, because if they're here, it means they've tried the over-the-counter varieties."
Retinol, found in OTC topicals, converts to retinoic acid when applied to the skin.
"For a new patient, I might start with a retinol and build up slowly to prescription strength. Sometimes, retinol is a better choice for a new patient," Farris says.
Makers of the over-the-counter creams and gels are not required to tell the consumer how much retinol their products contain, and in the short term, the products might not be as effective as tretinoin. But they do smooth out the skin and minimize the effects of sun damage, Farris says. Generally, it takes about 3-6 months of daily use to notice a difference. With prescription retinoids, a patient might notice smoother, more even-toned skin in as early as 6-8 weeks.
Retinaldehyde, another form of retinoid that can be had without a prescription, is highly effective in rejuvenating older skin, says Jacob. A Swiss study found that among the cosmeceuticals, retinaldehyde is the most efficient and well-tolerated retinoid in renewing skin cells, filtering ultraviolent light, preventing cell breakdown, and improving aging skin.
Jacob and Farris serve and have served as consultants for several cosmeceutical manufacturers. Farris has consulted for Johnson and Johnson, the parent company of Neutrogena and Roc, and La Roche Posay, all of which market retinol and retinoid skin care products (excluding Renova and Refissa). Jacob has consulted for the drug companies Medicis and Abbott.
How Do You Use Retinoids?
For prescription retinoids and OTC retinol-based products, a pea-sized dollop applied to the skin daily is effective, Jacob says. More than that could irritate the skin.
Farris says she tells patients to start slowly, using a retinoid every other night until the skin can tolerate it. "Not everyone gets irritation, but most do at first. That goes away in a couple of weeks," she says.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends using the exact amount prescribed by the doctor and to avoid other topical medications while using tretinoin. It also recommends that patients using tretinoin avoid sun exposure or wear a sunscreen and protective clothing when they are outside.
It's best to use a retinoid topical on clean, dry skin, and to refrain from using it with skin care products that contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. The combination can cause severe skin irritation.
Using tretinoin with certain medications -- diuretics, antibiotics such as tetracycline and Cipro, and sulfa drugs such as Bactrim -- may also make the skin more light-sensitive.
Are Retinoids Safe?
Topical retinoids are safe, according to Jacob and Farris, but pregnant or nursing women are advised to ask their health care provider about using it.
Severe side effects could include hives, swelling, and breathing difficulty.
Less severe side effects from using tretinoin could include burning, warmth, stinging, tingling, itching, redness, swelling, dryness, peeling, irritation, and discoloration of the skin.
In case of extreme irritation, Jacob says, "You can moisturize and back off; it'll clear up in a few days.''
As for OTC retinol-containing products, little safety research has been done. "FDA has a very loose grasp on the cosmeceutical industry," Jacob says. "But I think they try to make sure the stuff isn't dangerous.''
As far as she is concerned, the over-the-counter products and tretinoin are both safe.
"You can use tretinoin or OTC retinols forever," Jacob says.

Monday, September 02, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (September 2, 2002) - The East Tennessee State women's soccer team defeated UNC Asheville 2-1 in their home opener Monday night. East Tennessee struck first as senior Lena Summers (Johnson City, Tenn.) headed the ball into the net off an assist from freshman Catherine Olsen (Thurmont, Md.) in the 44th minute of the second period. Asheville struck next as the Bulldog's Hilary McKay tied the score at one in the 39th minute. The Buccaneers would take the lead for good after freshman Lauren Kulish (Bowie, Md.) scored off of an assist from Olsen. "After coming off the loss at Radford, tonight's game was like night and day," said ETSU Head Coach Heather Henson. "We took care of the details tonight, Andrea (Brown) played exceptional for us in the center, every person that came off the bench contributed to this win." East Tennessee State will open up their conference play September 5 at home against Appalachian State at 7:00. "If we come out and play with the same effort Thursday night it will be very exciting," said Henson.

INDIANAPOLIS - A sheriff's deputy who investigated the 1994 disappearance of an Indiana boy who has been found living as an adult in Minnesota says he never feared for the child's safety.
Seventy-year-old retired LaGrange County sheriff's deputy John Russell said Friday he spent at least two months investigating the disappearance of then-5-year-old Richard Wayne Landers Jr. from Wolcottville, Ind., but kept running into dead ends.
Police say the boy's paternal grandparents took him out of state during a dispute with his parents over his custody.
Russell says the grandparents had raised the boy since birth but he isn't sure they had legal custody.
He says he understands why they took the child, but it was still wrong. But he says he never thought the child was in any danger.
Authorities contacted the Todd County Sheriff's Department after Landers' stepfather provided a social security number that was subsequently traced to a man in rural Browerville living under the the name of Michael Jeff Landers. His grandparents were located nearby, living their lives as Raymond and Susan Iddings.
At this point it is unclear if charges will be filed against the grandparents.

Rain Forest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic Debuts 700-Meter Adrenaline Zip Line
Michelle Dumaine
Andria Mitsakos Public Relations (AMPR)
MIAMI, FLORIDA (February 22, 2011) – Rain Forest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic debuted its new AdrenaLine on December 15, 2010. The 700-meter zip line serves as a gripping addition to the park's famed zip line course.
The one-minute AdrenaLine zip line packs a punch of speed and adventure, as riders soar 700 meters through the Costa Rica rainforest canopy. The AdrenaLine can be combined with the park's entire circuit of 10 zip line cables, or just the last three lines for a shorter trip. Admission is $10 USD.
The AdrenaLine has been built according to ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology) standards. Two experienced guides assist riders from the adjoining platforms. Pre-course training allows for riders of all experience levels to strap in and zip away.
Rain Forest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic's exhilarating zip line tour takes guests flying across the magnificent Molinete River several times. The attraction consists of 10 zip lines with 14 platforms, plus the new AdrenaLine, in between stretches of rainforest canopy. The park is located 50 minutes from San José on the Braulio Carrillo highway.

About Rain Forest Adventures
The original Rain Forest Aerial Tram Atlantic was established in 1994 in Costa Rica by H.J. Von der Goltz, a visionary and nature lover. It was the first operation of its kind anywhere in the world, with a unique requirement: it had to be built in the middle of 1,200 acres of dense jungle without impacting the forest. Today, five Rain Forest Adventures parks are located in Costa Rica (Pacific and Atlantic), Saint Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica, serving as wildlife reserves and ecotourism attractions. The exceptional combination of attractions such as the Tram ride, Bobsled and Zip Line plus the experience, training and commitment of a multi-lingual and naturalist guides guarantees an educational, adventurous and unforgettable experience for guests. www.rainforest-adventures.com

1 tablespoon
1/4 cup
olive oil
1 pound
fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
3/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
I'm rating this a 5* because, with alterations, it is a HIT! I took the advice of other reviewers and added minced garlic and chopped onions (about 2 cloves and 1/2 an onion) and also threw in 2 slices bacon at the beginning, as my fiance doesn't like asparagas especially and would REALLY turn his nose up if no meat products were involved.....it was AMAZING!!!! Ooooh, he loved it so much he ate the whole pan (1 lb) of asparagus, and was slobbering for more. I probably used 1/2 c freshly shredded parm all said and done. Thank you!!!
Too much oil even drained. Cheese is ok but a bit heavy for asparagus. On the upside my "garbage disposal" (hubby) loved it :) Would be good with a touch of lemon juice and/or almond slivers.

This is the only way we prepare our asparagus now! VERY GOOD! Another way to prepare it is in the oven. You can spray a pan with Pam, then you line up the asparagus and shake it a bit so all sides are coated with the spray. Then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Bakes at 450 for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle with paremesan when you pull the pan out of the oven. Baking and spraying with a fat-free cooking spray may make it a bit healthier
This recipe is awesome. I alter it slightly to decrease fat. I steam for 3 minutes, drain, then saute in 1 T oil and 1 T butter for 5 min. and then sprinkle fresh parm cheese on it. Wonderful!
Hmmm... reading reviews people said 3/4 TSP of cheese was not enough but the recipe I see calls for 3/4 CUP of parmesan, which seemed like too much! So I just sprinkled till it looked right which came out to probably around 1/3 cup. I also put 1/2 tsp of chopped garlic in the butter and oil and squirted the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the asparagus before adding the cheese.
Used the suggestion of a previous reviewer. Sprayed down a rimmed cookie sheet with some PAM, rolled the asparagus around in it then seasoned with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. Baked in a 450 degree oven for 5-7 minutes. Then sprinkled with the parmesan cheese. Deee-licious!
I sauteed some minced onion and minced garlic in the EVOO/butter, then let it cool. After it had cooled a little, I drizzled the mixture over the asparagus. I roasted this instead of cooking it in the skillet. I also used fresh parmesan. Family didn't care for it but I LOVED IT. NOTE: I served this with Mushroom Wild Rice Bake and Corn Bread Chicken.
I thought this was pretty good! I admit I did use a bag of frozen asparagus and I cooked it in the microwave. I cooked a 12 oz bag in a bowl covered with plastic wrap with about 1/4 cup of water, on the package directions. Then, I drained and added 1 Tblsp of whipped butter and olive oil to taste about 2 Tblsp. I covered and cooked 1 more minute. Then, I sprinkled on the cheese to taste about 1/3 of a cup or less and microwaved 1 more minute. I sprinkled on a little salt when I took them out of the microwave. I didn't mean to change the cooking method but, I did it out of ease. And, I used all of the ingredients listed, but scaled them back to cut a few calories. In the end delicous!

Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Redmine comes to mind. It started as a Basecamp clone, but it now has a lot more features like source control integration (SVN, CVS, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Darcs).
For an open source web app, I would suggest Trac. It even has a GIT Plugin. If you don't really care if it is open source and that somebody else is hosting it, I would highly suggest Github.
I suggest CodebaseHQ.

text: Political Science overview faculty program organizations after graduation Kelsey (Ryan) Gratien, class of 2009 Majored in political science and psychology, minored in business Following graduation -- Kelsey attended the University of Buffalo, earning a masters' in political science in 2011, and will graduate in May 2014 with a Ph.D. in political science. Kelsey has taught political science courses at UB and Buffalo State College, worked at a bankruptcy law firm in Buffalo, currently a visiting assistant professor at Le Moyne teaching American Politics and Legal Studies Courses. "For both personal and professional reasons, attending Le Moyne College was the best decision I could have made. Personally, the decision allowed me to meet some amazing people and academically, I found immense support from professors across disciplines. "As one example, I vividly remember meeting with my political science advisor, Dr. Behuniak during my senior year. We discussed my future and the choices I would have to make. I explained how I loved to write, I loved the meaningful discussions that took place in my political science courses, and I loved the college atmosphere; but I was unsure of how these things could be applied to the 'real world.' After patiently listening, Dr. Behuniak paid me perhaps the highest compliment I had received in saying 'it sounds like you want to be me. You should become a professor.' Thrilled that she thought I could someday do what she was doing, I started to feel the excitement and enthusiasm I was previously lacking; and since then, I've never looked back. "After leaving Le Moyne and experiencing a large research university, I've come to realize that Le Moyne is truly unique. The limited class sizes and family atmosphere are invaluable assets of Le Moyne. The faculty support and close ties can't just be found anywhere, and I'm so grateful to have experienced what this great college has to offer." Robert McIver, Class of 2010 Majored in Political Science and History Following graduation -- Robert went on to attend Albany Law School, where he participated on the School's Law Review Editorial Board. He recently accepted a position as a clerk for the New York State Appellate Division, Fourth Department, where he will prepare recommendations to assist the Justices in deciding appeals. "I transferred to Le Moyne from a large state university. At Le Moyne, I immediately noticed the small class sizes and engaged professors. This creates an environment where students are challenged and truly develop the analytical framework that is vital to success in law school. None of what I have accomplished would have been possible without the critical thinking skills I gained in classes I took with Dr. Delia Popescu. Additionally, the constant feedback of Professors Rine and Egerton shaped my research and writing abilities. This helped me understand and articulate the nuances of the cases studied while at Albany Law. Overall, the atmosphere and faculty at Le Moyne College prepare students to excel in future education and careers." Elizabeth Vanasdale '12 Majored in political science Since graduation – In her senior year, Elizabeth accepted a position at the Public Justice Center in Baltimore, Md., as a legal assistant for the Human Right to Housing project, as part of a year of service through the Jesuit Volunteer Corp (JVC). Currently seeking her paralegal certification from George Mason University and next year she plans to apply to grad school in public policy and economic development and also looking for programs with a concentration in food security that focuses on food deserts and sustainable agriculture. "We were to embark that year (of service through the JVC) on many challenges that went along with living in solidarity with the poor. As a community, we upheld the values of community, faith, social justice, and simple living. My 'safety' choice began to change the way I perceived the world as I learned in depth about the social structures that shaped society and affected the people in it. As a legal assistant I worked exclusively on Tenants in Foreclosure and Tenants in Rent court cases. The individual faces that I encountered deeply inspired my research and assistance on housing policy during the Maryland legislative session where I worked on an income discrimination bill called the Home Act. These personal experiences – coupled with what I learned of racism, classism, and economic justice at Le Moyne – truly intensified what I wanted to fight for. "Despite my unconventional path, I am thankful for the opportunities and experiences that I have had and if I could give myself advice as a college senior I would stress not get discouraged if something doesn't go your way and be brave enough to take on challenges and experiences that you otherwise wouldn't take." Special Projects The Political Science Department offers a number of special programs to make it easier for students to double major as well as to encourage them to build leadership skills. Our department works particularly closely with the History Department and, as a result we have worked together to develop a special joint degree program of Political Science/History. Further, Political Science is an excellent major to combine with an Education Minor, either in elementary education or secondary education. Finally, consistent with our commitment to developing leaders who will change the world, we have developed a special Leadership Education for Activism Program (L.E.A.P). Leadership Experience for Activism Program (L.E.A.P.) The Leadership Experience for Activism Program provides the student with a unique combination of experiences to prepare him or her for a life of leadership in a democracy. It is a model of engaged learning – linking the academic with the experiential with the goal of developing civic leaders for the future. Admission Students must apply to the chair of the department of political science for admission. They must be political science majors or minors and maintain a G.P.A. of at least 3.25. (G.P.A. requirements may be waived at the discretion of the chair.) The Le Moyne College transcript distinguishes L.E.A.P. scholars, thus enhancing job and graduate school opportunities and identifying the democratic leadership potential of participating students. There are five dimensions to the program: Service Learning: L.E.A.P. students take three political science courses that contain one credit service learning components. Internship: Students must complete an internship in a not-for-profit organization. Off-campus experience: The student must spend at least one month in an academic program off-campus (e.g. a semester abroad, a semester in Washington, D.C.) Student leadership experience: During at least one semester the student must hold a position of leadership in a Le Moyne student organization (e.g. student senate, political science academy, College Democrats, POWER) Research: In the senior year the student must write a major research paper about democratic leadership. The paper will be directed by a political science faculty member Scholarships for Political Science Students Social Sciences Casper and Margaret Schiesser Scholarship: Endowed by bequest of Mrs. Margaret Schiesser and awarded to students studying economics, political science, psychology or sociology. A 3.0 G.P.A. must be maintained.

Is money the only way to reach happiness, satisfaction, or sense of completion?
It seems like money is the only way to get one's wish.
Do you really need money to be happy?
What are other ways in which people reach happiness, satisfaction, or sense of completion?
Maybe that special someone gives you that sense of completion and happiness. Any other examples would be great. What do you do to enjoy life?
Harald Jezek
Oct 23 2013: Money is only a tool and not worth anything in itself. It only facilitates the exchange of goods.
- +3
So, the question should probably be whether material possessions are the only way to happiness
I'd say no. There are many examples of people that are not rich and live happy and fulfilled lives.
On the other hand there are people who have everything from a material point of view and still aren't happy.
Oct 23 2013: Harald!!! You're back!!! Haven't seen you for ages!!! Very happy to see you, and it doesn't cost a cent!!!
I agree....,money is a tool:>)
Oct 23 2013: Hi Colleen, good to see you too ! :-)
How are you doing ? Judging from this profile pic, you seem to be doing fine.
Oct 23 2013: I'm good Harald......feeling happily content, and I don't have much money. Hope you are well too my friend. Judging from your profile pic, you haven't changed a bit:>)Oct 23 2013: So you are proof that (lots of) money isn't necessary for happiness ;-)
I'm not sure if I changed, but my photo for sure didn't. Still the same one I uploaded when I registered, hahaha.
Oct 23 2013: Correct Harald.....I am living proof that lots of money isn't necessary for happiness. I had more money at one time, but the economy.....the market......you know about that "stuff":>)
I realize your photo is the same one from way back when, which is why I made the comment. I may have lost some money, but I don't think I am losing my mind........yet! hahahahaha:>)
Mitch SMith
Oct 22 2013: Money is the universal commodity.
- +2
The idea of commodity relates to what we need to consume .. now, and some reserve for when commodities are not being produced for one reason or another .. mostly seasons.
Humans make an artform out of standardising all needs into categories of commodity.
Consider this:
money is the unit of exact transaction - there is no residue when you use the universal commodity to measure and exchange value (value is the consumable component of exchange).
A monetary transaction has no margin of adaptation - it is a unit of adaption.
Adaption is generally at the expense of adaptability.
we trade adaptability back and forth in expectation of the period of scarcity that each judges between this consumption and the next production.
Humans are the most adaptable species on the planet - the least adapted. We are hopeless failures as a single creature .. might last a few days on our own. So we have this variable field of adaptability that we can trade bak and forth between us.
The problem with money is that it's binary - one-on-one, and there is no adaptive residue.
When a culture does not use money, it is assumes that "what goes around comes around" and it becomes infinitely networked.
The issuer of money takes absolute control of the value residue - this is most easily seen in usury (charging interest is usury - it used to be a death sentence if you got caught doing that). However, the use of money is still usury even if interest is not charged because it atomises communities and makes them slaves to the issuer of currency.
Currency is invented only for the payment of taxes to states and tithes to churches.
The state and the church are parasites that enslave community and family.
The community without money operate on a gift basis where prestige is earned by giving.
Whenever money is in use, the prestige defaults to the taker - this is called thievery in most languages.
However, the hoarding is needed to get through winter - how?Nov 13 2013: "... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."
John SteinbeckNov 11 2013: I guess it depends on how you define happiness, satisfaction and completion. If you define happiness as self sufficiency then living out in the woods and living off the land would work for you. if you define happiness as having a large home, filled with lots of toys then money is a requirement because you cannot trade chickens for ipads. The most recent surveys would indicate that those who chase money to buy happiness wind up not so happy. However, my dad says that having a career that you love is vital for satisfaction, happiness and a sense of completion. (not sure I agree).
Bottom line, it is a personal thing like most. There is no correct answer. I would be perfectly happy, satisfied and complete if i could watch netflix and play games all day where as my dad requires traveling everywhere seeing everything that's out there. His idea of happiness is quite expensive mine less so but still requires money.
Money is a vessel, an end, not a destination just like happiness, satisfaction and completion.Oct 30 2013: We only need as much money as it takes to cover our basic needs.
If our personal wealth is below that threshold, then potential happiness gets smothered by survival needs. Add to that the mix of guilt, shame, inadequacy that one is unable to survive successfully in a society that judges one on that ability, then happiness is as distant a goal as it could possibly get. Why else do people feel the need to get into outrageous and crippling amounts of debt, just to have a symbol of financial success parked on the drive?
The converse may also be true in a society that does NOT judge people on their accumulation of wealth. Happiness is more likely to be self-perpetuated, more profound as a result, and independent of personal wealth.
In our broken society, the following is the first issue that needs to be addressed:
Mend this, and the rest will follow.
Nov 11 2013: nice, maslow hierarchy of needs.Oct 28 2013: Money is a vehicle by which a sense of security can be reached. In order to reach a truly enlightened happiness, one must find a sense of security in order for his mind to calculate the various criteria of what his personal brand of happiness is. Those criteria, along with the amount of security needed to explore one's happiness, vary per the individual.Oct 27 2013: All right, all right, we know that money doesn't buy happiness. But let's be honest: More money doesn't exactly make us miserable, either.
The wealthy enjoy an intangible benefit that often eludes the paycheck-to-paycheck worker: a sense of control over their lives. They feel secure in their jobs and less stressed about their futures. (Plus, they can order room service instead of trying to make three meals out of a Subway sandwich.)
But are they much happier than the rest of us wage-earning, '90s-model-Camry-driving schlubs? Not really.
Rich! Happy? Not really
Studies show that lottery winners, heiresses, and the 100 richest Americans are only slightly more satisfied than the guy toiling for his pay in the generic office-park cubicle. Still, mere mortals find it difficult to allow that an extra digit or two on the paycheck won't put a permanent smile on our faces.
Why is it so hard to accept the idea that increased wealth doesn't markedly improve our mental health?
Happy amnesia
The ability to imagine -- to try to predict our future state of mind -- is what sets us apart from less-evolved species. It's also the very thing that stunts our shot at true happiness.
We assume that a sportier car, a bigger house, a better-paying job, or that dress will bring us joy because, well, they did in the past, right?
Not really, says Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard psychology professor and the author of Stumbling on Happiness. "Research reveals that memory is less like a collection of photographs than it is like a collection of impressionist paintings rendered by an artist who takes considerable license with his subject," Gilbert writes. We forget that the new-car high deflated well before our first trip to the mechanic, and the raise came with stressful late nights at the office and a steeper tax tab.
scott fowler
Nov 11 2013: I guess you're saying the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I agree. If I suddenly came in to billions overnight, it would make me ecstatic for a while but then it would feel empty because i didn't accomplish something. That is why billionaires don't retire, they work till they're dead.Oct 27 2013: Dpends what that wish is. It can't make you desire anything you hadn't desired before the money.money won't make you truly love Something as in art or science or whatever.Oct 25 2013: Money can bring happiness yes for some obvious reason. Suppose like you are poor and all you need to do is work for your livelihood you need money. SO money brings happiness for some special types of purpose. On the other hand money cant bring happiness. because when people are having lots of money they cant even control their whole mind. Its really difficult for anyone.

We can reach any of them without money
by making things a-step-better for keeping our DNA alive.
(No matter how small the step may be)Oct 24 2013: Pure happiness and satisfaction must come from within you. Personally, I used to think satisfaction came from climbing the corporate ladder and having power over colleagues and employees. Unfortunately, we live in a world (and American society has multiplied this culture 10 fold) where bigger is better and a certain status speaks of your character. I think it's too easy to get sucked into that way of thinking. Truth is, if you have happiness in yourself, satisfaction with your own life, and can give and receive love from your companion, that's all you need. Of course, we need money, the resource that holds no real meaning other than a tool to barter with and provides shelter and food.
Keith W
Oct 24 2013: Money doesnt buy happiness but poverty does buy misery.. Money is a resource which provides every other resource including freedom and power. Think of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.. Money is essential for the bottom aspects of the pyramid such as security, food, and shelter however money can never bring you to the top of that pyramid which is love, relationships, purpose and self-actualization

Da Way
Oct 23 2013: Of course it's not the only way, but it's often the quickest way. If you define your goals and identify what are the things that will provide you with happiness, satisfaction and sense of completion, and then analyse the role of wealth in those goals, you often find that 1) money helps, and 2) even if you can achieve your goals without money, money can push what you're trying to accomplish even further!

Oviedo, FL
United States
Starting at age 9 with an early morning paper route, I stayed employed somewhere until age 29.
I used the money for bicycles and goodies, and helped my mom, and later, I had all the boy toys;
girls, cars, alcohol, but never drugs. The ambition bug bit deep into my soul at age 29. There is
no feeling like that of ambition. It's seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and it never ends.
I still have it, but circumstances of poor health have limited my activities. At age 29, I decided
that I would never work for anyone again. I would make my way by myself. I went home and
told my wife exactly that. She just gave me a look, and said, "You better make a lot of money!".
So, I did.
I retired at age 39. Since then I've had 10 or 11 businesses. The damned ambition bug just
won't go away.
Now, I Handicap Horse Races to get the winners, in the evenings, with my buddy, by phone.
I've spent 20 years developing a computer program to do the handicapping but fear the NSA
has stolen it with their dastardly dealings through Microsoft. In the mornings I research the NSA,
and blog about their nasty actions in several newspapers. Afternoons are spent teaching 3,& 4
cushion bank shots to other elderly criminal-type snooker players at the local Senior Center.
We play well.
I would chase women, but I cannot remember why...Oct 22 2013: Hi Alex,
happiness, satisfaction and sense of Completion is different to each and every individual, money is one of the form for sometime; but not always, time teaches you everything Sooner or later.Oct 22 2013: Once the basic needs are met, you don't need money to be happy.
Alex here is the one liner - the moment we stop comparison - comparing ourselves with others, happiness flows in ( which doesn't mean you should remain contented with what you have or are, just follow your heart )Oct 22 2013: No.....a smile on a baby face does not need any moneyOct 22 2013: In reality Money comes first and in Philosophy ,Dreams and Fantasy money comes last. Money buys you everything , even Love . Money is the means not an end. Some people seem to reach happiness,satisfaction or sense of completion in other ways there may be many factors responsible to it. The special some one gives you the sense of completion only when you have the money. Just say to your special someone that we will together live in a small hut without any luxury and then see what happens.Every thing is Illusion .Oct 22 2013: Hi Alex,
Living the life adventure joyfully, with integrity, curiosity, being all that I can be, learning all that I can, and contributing to the whole of humanity while being totally present with the life exploration in each and every moment creates happiness, contentment and sense of completion....flow:>)

Oct 22 2013: Good book Timo!Oct 22 2013: Money is the element part of happiness .But people oneself drive the direction for feel good or bad with version and understanding of lives .The drug and the alcohol problem main reason is not the money is the people feeling about the world and society ,Oct 22 2013: it is supposed to be a serious question, or you have some agenda?
tell me that you can not imagine a single thing that costs nothing and gives you satisfaction. i dare you to say that.
Oct 22 2013: kinda feels like the first challenge to me.
We don't all start from a stance of long knowledge - and .. gotta start somewhere.
Let's just pretend for a moment that Alex is just getting kicked-off here.
If that's the case .. what would you say?Oct 22 2013: Alex is a high school student.
Oct 22 2013: and he is so rich, never does anything fun without a bucket of dollar bills? :)

I saw a great sign on my travels today...
"Be kind to everyone....no exceptions"Oct 22 2013: There is more than one imput It is a product function. The items you need have to be there in satisfactory amounts.Oct 22 2013: it depends the goals ,it can be the kill makes tyrannical peoples feel happy with it (the limit of the bad),it can be your soulmate ,it can be a principals ,the power like it can be a moment can enrich your life forever...Oct 22 2013: You might enjoy the Martin Seligman talk on positive psychology. He shares what his research shows about the primary correlates of happiness or satisfaction. The number one factor is feeling good about ones social interactions with the people with whom one associates. Other important factors are meaningful work, or the opportunity to contribute, and the opportunity to learn by rising to a challenge.
The research on the role of income typically shows that within a country there is a threshold level of income above which further income does not increase contentment or happiness. That level covers subsistence needs plus a little extra.
Oct 22 2013: Yes, I watched it and it was great, very funny also!
