Constructors' Championship 2010: 3rd
Last season ended ignominiously for the scarlet Scuderia, which cost chief race engineer Australian Chris Dyer his job following a strategic failure at the final Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where Fernando Alonso's bid for a maiden title with Ferrari perished as he scrabbled in midfield.
Dyer's place has been filled by the recruitment of former Red Bull strategy man Neil Martin from champions Red Bull and former McLaren expert Pat Fry.
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has called for nothing less than a sustained bid for both titles and glory this year, a prospect greeted with deadpan reaction by an unchanged drivers' line-up of Spaniard Alonso and Brazilian Felipe Massa. For them, this horse has to be prancing as always.
5 Fernando Alonso (age 29, Spanish, 157 Grand Prix starts, 26 wins, 20 poles, 18 fastest laps; World Champion in 2005 and 2006)
One of the great Spanish sportsmen of modern times and the first Iberian to lift Formula One's drivers' world title, Fernando will be hoping to add to his single previous triumph at Albert Park in 2006. His undoubted natural speed and talent, allied to a sharp tactical and technical brain, makes him a formidable force and one of the pre-season favourites.
2010 season: 252 points, 2nd – best result 1st Bahrain, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Korea.
6 Felipe Massa (age 29, Brazilian 134 Grand Prix starts, 11 wins, 15 poles, 15 fastest laps)
After missing out on the title by a few hundred metres in 2008, Felipe suffered severe and, initially, life-threatening head injuries in an accident at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix. It ended his season and almost his career, but he recovered to return, albeit with some inconsistent showings last year. Last year, Felipe was on the podium here in third place, his best result in eight visits that also saw him finish sixth in 2007.
2010 season: 144 points, 6th – best result 2nd Bahrain, Germany.

Since no one else has replied, I found this from AZOM.com - makes sense to me
Certain facts about welding of AISI 1045 steel are:
AISI 1045 steel is readily welded when correct procedure is followed.
Welding AISI 1045 steel in through-hardened, tempered and flame or induction hardened condition is not recommended.
Low hydrogen electrodes are preferred for welding AISI 1045 steel.
The workpiece is
Pre-heated at 200°C300°C (392°F - 572°F)
Maintained at the same temperature during welding
Cooled slowly using sand, ashes etc and
Stress relieved at 550°C - 660°C (1022°F - 1220°F).
The welding tips and tricks guy just did a video on "Tig Welding Carbon Steel and Low Alloy Steel", kind of lines up with this info. Might be worth looking at even if you plan to MIG or stick weld it.

Practice Philosophy
One of the most important factors in deciding to have Plastic Surgery is selecting and having confidence in your Surgeon. It is important to listen to a patient's concerns and needs, not only for the procedure itself, but for the patient themselves. Many patients have researches their particular concern and have specific goals in mind. It is essential for me to establish a relationship by listening to the patient.
My office offers a very private, friendly setting and an hour is set aside for your consultation. During the consult, we have detailed discussion about your particular area of concern. I show you a tape, pictures and offer you to speak to one of my patients who has had the procedure.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
After a thorough consultation and physical examination, a plan can be set up that is suitable for you. Sometimes, the specific expectations by the patient are not feasable; that is why a detailed individualized consultation is necessary.
The following procedures are offered in Dr. Blanchard's Plastic Surgery Center and includes both non-surgical and surgical options:
Non Surgical Procedures

Kings of Leon to play Sports Illustrated event
Sports Illustrated is getting ready to celebrate the launch of its 2015 swimsuit issue in February 2015 with a first-ever, two-day event in downtown Nashville. And here's the kicker – it will include a headline performance by Kings of Leon.
Sports Illustrated partnered with the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. to plan what it says will be two days of fan events and musical performances on Lower Broadway currently scheduled for Feb. 11 and 12. Tents will be set up with food to go along with the various musical performances. The models from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition are also slated to be in attendance.
As for their part in the festivities? Kings of Leon and Mikky Ekko will play what is being called a limited-ticket engagement on Feb. 11 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. There will also be a ticketed package on Feb. 12, which will include an event at Acme Feed & Seed to showcase Nashville restaurants.
Sports Illustrated Publisher Brendan Ripp said, "We wanted to partner with a town that wanted to help us build the most consumer-facing brand in swimsuit. Nashville is just a great town. It's a sports town, it's a music town, it's a college town and it's a fun town. We're bringing the swimsuit franchise to fans of Sports Illustrated."
The 2015 swimsuit edition will be released Feb. 9. The issue reaches more than 70 million people worldwide.
The upcoming event will be a high profile gig for the band after its Mechanical Bull world tour was disrupted in 2014. They were forced to cancel a number of shows after Nathan Followill sustained injuries in a bus accident. Followill was hurt when a pedestrian reportedly jumped in front of the band's tour bus during their North American run. He sustained broken ribs during the resulting emergency stop.
Kings of Leon ride the "Mechanical Bull" (Updated 1/19/14)
The last time we talked about Kings of Leon, the band was getting ready to work on its sixth studio album. That project, "Mechanical Bull," was released on September 24, 2013 behind the lead single "Supersoaker."
As it turns out, "Supersoaker" was the perfect summer song when it rolled out back in July of last year. It was followed by the release of the second single titled "Wait for Me," on August 6. Then, during the Heineken Open'er Festival 2013, Kings of Leon performed "Don't Matter," another new track from the album. That trio definitely gave fans a sneak peek of the music to come long before they ever took a ride on the "Mechanical Bull."
With the album release now behind them, Kings of Leon – Caleb, Jared, Nathan, plus their cousin Matthew Followill – moved on to their next project. Their song "Last Mile Home" is featured on the soundtrack for the film "August: Osage County," which is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tracy Letts and stars an All-Star cast including Meryl Streep, Julia Roerts, Margot Martindale, Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Nicholson, Ewan McGregor, Dermot Mulroney, Abigail Breslin and Sam Shepard.
Kings of Leon also recently performed on NBC stalwart "Saturday Night Live," and kick off their 2014 tour in February. Some early dates include stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville and Detroit. The guys have also confirmed they'll stop at Chula Vista's Sleep Train Amphitheatre for a March 22 concert, with Local Natives opening the show.
Kings of Leon rule the day and 'Night' (Updated November 20, 2012)
The turn of the century was particularly kind to Kings of Leon, which used musical diversity to impress a much wider audience. The group released three albums between 2003-2007, but it was 2008's "Only by the Night" which sent the popularity of the band soaring.
A multi-platinum project, "Only by the Night" debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, went to No. 1 in five countries and has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide. The lead single, "Sex on Fire," was followed by the smash "Use Somebody," which became the band's first top 10 hit in the U.S. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 51st Grammy Awards, where the band earned four trophies overall, including a win for Record of the Year.
The popularity of Kings of Leon was surreal at this point, as the band appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, performed on NBC's Saturday Night Live and headlined Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits.
The band's fifth album, "Come Around Sundown," was released in late 2010 and was supported by a tour which included more than 50 stops in North America and Europe. The end of the U.S. leg was canceled after Caleb appeared heavily intoxicated in Dallas, Texas and disappeared from the stage. On October 31, 2011 the band announced a hiatus, though Jared tweeted on August 23, 2012 that Kings of Leon would be 'working on album 6 very soon.'
About Kings of Leon
This quirky, funky, folksy and refreshingly original and acclaimed Alt/Country Rock "Band of Brothers", Kings of Leon, began sharing their uplifting brand of cerebral Rock-n-Roll mixed with a touch of country in 1999 and continue to grow, explore and expand their music. The band consists of brothers Caleb, Nathan, Jared Followill, along with first cousin Mathew. It has been a musical journey that's taken them around the world and then back to their musical roots in Tennessee. With several studio albums to their credit, the band retains a refreshingly upbeat presence in their electric live performances and continues to delight fans across the globe. Get Kings of Leon tickets to watch this band live in concert.

The 13th annual Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous recently came to a close.
The streets of Ridgway look empty without the surplus of carvers and visitors fulfilling the downtown. This year there were reportedly 195 carvers in attendance representing nine countries including England, Germany, Japan, Australia, Thailand, Canada, the United States, Scotland and Romania.
The new location of the event raised many concerns in citizens and officials, but Liz Boni, coordinator of the Rendezvous, said it ended a success.
"The event went very well, and we were pleased with the new location," Boni said. "I just want to acknowledge all those who contributed and helped to make the event successful."
The relocation was due to a decrease in space.
"There are 30 percent new carvers each year; that is consistent," Boni said. "The industrial space just didn't have enough room."
A big step was to do it downtown, but essentially it enveloped the community.
"You could see people everywhere, and it was incredible to see that many people in downtown Ridgway," Boni said. "We are hoping that will happen again."
Others are excited about the possibilities of growth for the event downtown.
"It gives room to grow and accommodate," Michelle Bogacki, Main Street Manager said. "The businesses did very well, and the Rendezvous was very successful."
The new location seems to be better for all. It makes better access for everyone including handicapped and more opportunity for our local merchants... Yes to downtown.

Four ways companies can use open source social publishing tools to enhance their business operations
The Internet is a powerful tool for encouraging social interaction and collaboration. In recent years, we've seen the rise of social news sites like Slashdot and Reddit, through which users curate the content by voting and commenting on their favorite stories. Photo-sharing sites like Flickr allow amateur and professional photographers alike to share their work and group it into community galleries.
Even traditional news organizations like The Washington Post have embraced social media and social sharing technology: The company recently rolled out a Social Reader app that allows users to passively share the stories they are reading with their Facebook friends.
These high-profile companies are just the tip of the iceberg: A recent survey from Regus found that 43% of all businesses in the United States are now using social tools to engage with customers and employees and acquire new customers.

The similarities between mountain biking and motocross is no secret, that's why we're seeing cross overs from the motorized to the self-propelled market. The 100% Accuri Goggles are one such product to make the leap.
Proven on the dirt track, the 100% Accuri Googles are ready for the world of big mountain shuttles, bike parks, and downhill racing. Between you and the goggles' anatomic frame is a moisture-wicking, triple-layer foam that provides an unobtrusive, snug fit. For the frame, 100% constructed it from a flexible, yet durable urethane. And while its shape is curved in order to conform to the face, it's also optimized to provide an excellent field of vision.
Vision is taken seriously in motocross for obvious reasons, and the advantages from years of experience translates into distinct advantages for 100% in the mountain biking marketplace. For example, there are over twenty aftermarket lenses available for every light condition imaginable -- from Clear to Rose. Even better, the easy of replacing lenses extends throughout 100%'s line of goggles, keeping cost down and ensuring that replacement parts are plentiful. And best of all, 100% has a full line of vision-enhancing, tear-off and roll-off accessories. This means that all 100% goggles are ready for muddy race courses and sloppy days riding lifts.
The 100% Accuri Goggles are available in the colors Black, Black/cyan, Camosquito, Gunmetal, Reflex Blue, Subway, and Yellow. Lens colors vary per frame style, but the colors Clear, Silver, Blue Mirror, Mirror Gold, Mirror Red, and Mirror Green are your options.
The goggles comes equipped with an anti-fog and scratch-resistant Lexan lens. The strap is extra wide at 45mm, and it's coated with silicone to prevent slippage. For added protection while exploring your limits, the goggles include a removable nose guard.

Those goggles have been my favorites for 2 years now. The field of view side and top is incredible. I'm not much of a sweater so I can't tell how the 3 layer foam works for those who do, but at least its 3 and it's very comfy on my face and nose. I have a big nose so many goggles have pinched my nose on the past and i used to hate it cos' it would close my nostrils but those don't do that at all. It's probably the most important for me to feel that I can breathe. I ride DH park but I ride Moto as well. I have bought the mirror lens version at a moto dealership before and I love the fact that it comes with a free extra clear lens for the days when it's a bit overcast. In Moto I have a Bell Moto9 and in DH, a TLD D2. The goggles fit perfect in both. My favorite is the flo yellow..very flashy for a flashy guy! eheh!

Is it true that we do things mostly for our benefits?
I have stumbled across someone saying that "As human beings, everything we do is because of our own benefits. Even when we choose to help someone, we do it because the kind act brings us happiness."
To some extent it is true. What do you think about this point of view?
Whisky Delta
Jul 20 2013: I said to myself, Son, he used the word "our"!
- +2
YES!!! OUR benefits. If I help you, we are then both benefiting. It builds trust. Later on if I did it for only my benefit suddenly the trust bond is broken or slowly fades away depending on the severity. You either start all over or you never trust me again.Aug 19 2013: Very true. I enjoy helping others and it makes me feel good. But there comes a time in life when you relize that you need to slow down and think more about you.If you don't care for yourself no one else will.Jul 28 2013: Humans are intrinsically altruistic beings. Children don't distinguish between colour, race, nationality or social standing until influenced by their culture as they age. Babies show empathy when exposed to the distress of other babies. In societies where choices are freely available to us, we choose to show kindness in many instances. Our reasons may or may not be selfish but we find satisfaction in reaching out to another human being, finding rapport as it were.Jul 22 2013: Yes, people "do things"(I think you specifically mean help) mostly because they enioy it and it gives them some sort of satisfaction and I am not opposed to it when considering the alternative which is to not have any kind of satisfaction from the "good deed" that was done and to just mechanically help people.
The satisfaction that people get is from the sense of seeing that the help that was given has reached the benefactor and has resulted in his "prosperity" (kinda exaggerated) but I hope you get my point.
Helping people doesn't give any 'positive' emotion only if you're* dead inside.
That's my view anyway.
Of-course, my view is by no means involving the help offered to everyone everyday to do mundane process.
*I am not personally addressing you but I am addressing the guy who shows no emotion when he offers to help someoneJul 22 2013: Son, There is certainly some truth in what was said. We do things because .... we can ... we want to .... we need to ... or it pleases us.
The real reward for teachers / coaches is in watching student grow and develop in mind and body.
As a matter of fact if I looks at the list and think of a event ... I can match it to can ... want ... need ... pleasing.
It may be shallow but a case could be made for his point of view.
However, the inverse is also true ... by some of these acts we can also bring joy to others ... so I contend that the argument is moot.
Lets call it a win win.
I wish you well. Bob.

Jul 20 2013: yes, but fortunately most of the things we do that benefit us also help others. If I pick up trash on my street, it helps me but it also helps everybody else.
- +1
Jul 21 2013: Most trash is biodegradable. If you pick it up, how is this helping everyone else? To make the environment which is your environment look neat? I sometimes think, what has trash have to do with anything? What is so ugly about it to a certain extent of course? What if he/she doesn't mind the way trash looks in their yard? You are doing it for only your benefit not having to look at it and think waste. Would it make a difference if it was buried in their yard and you knew about it?
Jul 21 2013: I'll have to think about it, Vince, most people do seem to agree that trash is ugly, don't they? Why do they think that way, do you know?
Whisky Delta
Jul 21 2013: I don't have a clue why many people think the way they do. Maybe what they believe is education is not really education? Hard to tell these days. Profit? I think...lol I think many things can be recycled or used for something before it hits a trash can. Problem is that the market for it is nil. I think lol the cost to make the wrapper or bottle it comes in is sometimes more expensive than the product, In the future, 3D printer + plastic bottle= recycling the same piece of plastic many times. Why not do the recycling on site in our own homes on a smaller scale? Woops, there goes another J-O-B. 3 Liter Coke...50 cents! New term for BYOB. However, it will biodegrade in a yard (paper not too long) or go on top of a big pile that one day they will build houses on top of. The only difference is that you won't see it degrading.Jul 22 2013: Don't assume, greg dahlen, that you have to defend the positions of 'because it is neat' or 'because it is ugly' because you implied neither of those in your prior comment. There are plenty of reasons why you could have picked up the trash and where it would, at the same time, been beneficial to both you and your neighbor.Jul 22 2013: Time it takes for garbage to decompose, Vincent DeVillier....

"Trash Talkin'
It is estimated in that California spends 1 Billion dollars annually on litter clean up
7 Billion tons of debris enter the world oceans annually. Most of it is long lasting plastic.
An estimated 100,000 sea mammals and turtles are killed by plastic litter every year.
A sperm whale found dead on a North American beach was discovered to have starved to death because a plastic gallon bottle which it had swallowed had plugged its small intestine. The animal was full of plastic material ranging from other plastic bottles to 12m of nylon rope.
10 Harmful Effects of Litter
1.) Litter in the streets and parks can travel through storm drains to bays and oceans, where it harms wildlife
2.) Litter cost money. Removing litter cost everyone who pays taxes.
3.) Threat to Public Health. Attracts rats and other rodents and is a breeding ground for bacteria.
4.) Litter can be a fire hazard.
5.) Looks bad, and can effect the value of your home and business.
6.) Can affect local economy, especially in tourist locations.
7.) Litter breeds other litter. Sends out message that people don't care.
8.) Harm or kill wildlife.
9.) Harms Waterways. Even animal leavings, leaves and grass affect wildlife.
10.) It demoralizing and disgusting.Jul 22 2013: It's good of you to pick up the trash. You feel happy with yourself. Your neighbor might have seen you and been thankful or you might have set an example for a kid on his way home from school. It is an excellent example of what Kant's categorical imperative, specifically the first formulation: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law." Watered down for everyday usage, I would pick up the trash because then everyone would be bound to pick it up as they are bound by gravity to the earth.
I myself take it for granted that would I do to benefit myself happens to benefit others in many situations. It really is quite fortunate that this relationship exists to the extent that it does.
Jul 22 2013: although I've never seen anyone else follow my example. But Vince raised an excellent question, Daniel, why do we dislike trash? I suppose in some cases there's a possibility that someone could slip on it.
Jul 22 2013: Although I'll use the terms trash and garbage, what we're really talking about is litter. It would be totally different for me to take something out of its package, look at the package and think of it as representative of litter, or really as even trash, at that point.
We dislike trash, because was associate it with dirtiness and disease, which is a scientifically valid association. Human society has been using middens, or trash heaps, for dozens of centuries (they happen to be treasure troves for archeologists since they contain utensils, shells, broken pottery, etc.).
Disgust is also one of the six basic and universal human emotions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ekman) and disgust is the primary reaction you get from subjecting people to garbage. It also evokes a response from another of the six emotions, anger, since littering runs counter to people's values (such as protecting the environment) and is against the law (at local, state, and federal levels).
There is also such a thing known as the broken window theory, "The broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments in a well-ordered condition may stop further vandalism and escalation into more serious crime." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_window_theory
So we dislike trash, because it is directly associated with anti-social behavior, while also being correlated to a rise in crime and drop in the value of our homes. Litter prohibits us from taking pride in our neighborhood, because like a broken window it signifies to others we don't care about our neighborhood.
There is something to be said for the aesthetics as well. We appreciate symmetry, color-cordination, simplicity, complexity, naturalness. There're principles of design governing what appeals to us and litter clashes with them.Jul 22 2013: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, by the way. Just because you haven't seen anyone follow your example doesn't mean they haven't followed your example. The influence that some one has on me may not act upon for years until one day...
And it doesn't mean litter is ALWAYS ugly. I drew a picture in grade school of a bluebonnet (a type of wildflower) growing up through a half-crushed Coca-Cola can someone threw out their car window. Litter may not have any innate qualities we dislike, but of all the qualities attributed to it, most are negative.Jul 20 2013: To the full extent this is true, in prehistoric times humans needed to protect and care for themselves in order to survive, (due to climatic conditions and the very powerful animals they were up against). The humans who ended up helping each other were driven to do so as a result of having genes that released oxytocin (a neuro-chemicle that makes one happy) into their brains whenever they helped someone. The humans not born with this trait died out in the process of natural selection. Basically, Son Huynh, if humans could just help other humans without feeling good, they wouldn't have evolved to feel good whenever they helped another. And by the way, the reason prehistoric humans were never able to rationally determine that, in order to survive, they must help each other like modern humans would was because the rational part of the brain, the neocortex, hadn't existed yet and so the only ones who helped each other needed to have oxytocin released in their brain to want to engage in such prosaically behaviour.
Jul 20 2013: "The humans not born with this trait died out in the process of natural selection."
How sure are you about this?
Jul 22 2013: I heard this in a Nat Geo documentary. Basically, it was about why the Neanderthals died out and one of the theories discussed was that they died out because they were not driven to cooperate as much as other humans were, and so they could not distribute food adequately and thus died out.Jul 20 2013: Wow thank you for your information. That is a lot to take it. Is it real though?
Jul 22 2013: I first heard the theory on a Nat Geo documentary a long time, so I don't have any articles. Here is something confirming that the neocortex (which literally means new cortex) is important in critical thinking. Also, I made a mistake, the neocortex did exist back then, but the scientists said it was not as developed as it is now, I mis-wrote.
pat gilbert
Jul 20 2013: Yes.

The question is do you see the others as an extension of yourself?
Jul 20 2013: Help others just as help yourself.Aug 17 2013: In some way its true but in this materialistic world we relate happiness with money, luxury and pleasure. Happiness is intangible moreover in this particular case your happiness is derived out of helping someone else. So rather than saying it as benefits for ourselves we can name it symbiosis where both are getting benifited.
As long as happiness is coming by helping others and is coming not at the cost of someone's suffering it is justified and accepted by GOD also.Aug 9 2013: I would agree with Putri. Self-help does not necessarily meet the definition of selfishness. It all depends on your purpose. One would argue that to help someone else to only benefit yourself would be advantageous because if we are at our best we will be better prepared to again help others be at their best.Aug 5 2013: Yes. This doesn't necessarily mean we are selfish all the time. It's just as a matter of what we can live with. I think ultimately the decision to choose between being selfish or selfless is also determined by which one we can live with.Aug 1 2013: Yes. And to say otherwise is to engage in latent rationalization in order placate ourselves into feeling better about our selfish, minor existence...Jul 30 2013: Yes it is true , but the difference is, some look for there benefits were other also benefits. Others only look for there benefit even at the loss or total loss to others. These kind of people's benefits are very short lived & One keeps on closing one door after another on himself . The one who cares for others keeps on opening new doors for himself time & every time.Jul 22 2013: What's in a person's best interest short-term may not be in their best interests long-term. Nor do people always know, although they think they might, what their best interests really are. Also, there is a huge difference between what benefits us and what brings us happiness, although they may often be the same thing.
Perhaps the 'someone saying that' did not mean it in the literal sense. Not everything we do is to our own benefit. We wouldn't accidently stub our toes or hit our heads, spill our drinks or crash our bikes. It clearly wasn't to our benefit if he we did so.
And yes, we might help someone because 'the kind act brings us happiness' but that doesn't mean it always brings us happiness. I might hold the door for someone and they might walk by without eye contact or a word of thanks, and then I might have a resentment against that person. Not everyone doing court-ordered community service finds happiness doing so, but it is to their benefit (because they don't go to jail and therefore, yes, its something they chose even though they were court-ordered).

Jul 22 2013: Building on what John S. wrote, we INTEND to 'do things mostly for our benefits' as you phrased it Son Hunyh. the problem is we don't usually look closely at whether it is actually beneficial or not.
I think some would argue that dying in combat was to the person's benefit in the sense that it validated their value system in which they would if necessary lay down their life for someone else. It wasn't to his personal, corporeal benefit, but it benefited the values he had and the ideology he was defending (assuming his side won).Jul 21 2013: YES
Jul 22 2013: Can you elaborate?
Jul 22 2013: Thanks for your interest.
Well the elaboration is there in main post with which I didn't find anything to disagree.
However , lets take the example of Maslow's Need Hierarchy theory of Human Motivation.
Even if we do something good for others well being , seems we only do if that fulfills our need of Love , Belonging / Esteem / Self Actualization.....
So seems whatever we do we have our own reason behind it which is; to pamper one or the other need of our own self.
Jul 22 2013: You know, in all honesty, I'm glad you put it that way. I've spent a lot of time (too much time) thinking about this topic this evening and how to explain what I believe. But part of me can agree that the actions of person might lead to self-actualization. I have been making the supposition that it doesn't always benefit or make them happy in the context of the present moment, and did not allow for the possibility than in the long-term, far-removed from the present moment and present place, in a karmic sense, it might be benefiting them and leading to happiness.
But even if we do things for our benefit or our happiness, does that imply it's the only reason or even the primary reason we do these things?Jul 22 2013: Thanks Daniel .....
Understand your point.
What I feel (it's purely my feeling) even if we do something in what you called as "KARMIC" sense we do it with desire getting some return for the good "KARMA". I am not talking about exceptions , which can be there....my feeling is around the trend shown by majority of us
My another feeling is that Heaven & Hell of major religions are also built around that.....the religion that does not have the concept of Heaven or Hell , it talks about NIRVANA...
That being said....I expect even if we become empathetic or compassionate for our own reason...let's do that more and more to turn the planet into a better one....
Have a good day :)
Jul 22 2013: Good point about the religions. Judaism doesn't have the concept of 'hell' although Christians do.
It also reminded me of the saying, "Do good for good is good to do; spurn bribe of heaven and threat of hell." That's always been one of my many mottos. Nice discussing with you.Jul 22 2013: "Judaism doesn't have the concept of hell although Christians do"
Well, not all Christians believe in a concept of hell.
Some actually believe what the Bible teaches.
That at death, humans stop living.
Do you think that the concept of a fiery hell motivates people to be 'good'?
Jul 22 2013: I know there are plenty of people who have said that hell (fiery or frozen or whatever) motivates them. I don't have any other way of knowing if it motivates them to be good unless they tell me it does.
I do not believe in hell or heaven in any religious sense. In the context of the motto, heaven and hell figuratively represent doing things just because there is something in it for me and doing something just to avoid the consequences, respectively.
I did not know that some Christians don't believe in hell. Which ones?
I also thought that at death, humans stop living, but that according to the Bible they would be resurrected on Judgement Day and join Christ who has, according to them, already ascending to heaven.
I'm not Christian, so please, forgive any incorrect statements I might make. I do know that there are multiple versions of the Bible depending upon what faith you are and what translation you are using, what books were included and what books were excluded. My point is that I hope that doesn't lead us to confuse one another.
And when you say "Some actually believe what the Bible teaches" you might be overlooking the fact that people vary greatly in what they think the Bible teaches and no one has any way of knowing which ones are actually believing in it and which ones only think they are. I respect other people enough to allow for the possibility it doesn't matter if they are right or wrong, they're entitled to their own beliefs and I hope that those beliefs serve them well.Jul 22 2013: [edited spelling]
I agree with you that it is important to respect individual beliefs. We are all entitled to our own beliefs, and I like you feel that if it serves the person well, then that is fine.
There are many sites which have, as they say, "put out the fires of hell".
You can google for information on the words.
As for Christians who do not preach a fiery hell, and believe that death is the opposite of life, and that it is a state of rest, you can read about it here:
http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/when-you-die/Jul 21 2013: I believe this is true for the most part. As a species we work together for not our own benefits but for altruistic reasons as well. We rely on consequentialism and humanism. If something won't turn out well for us, we typically won't do it, nor if it turns out for someone else. This is different however online and afar because they aren't physically there so we do not take them into account when striving for a beneficial approach. When physically alone, things are for your own goodwill.
Jul 22 2013: I'm not so sure that "if something won't turn out well for us, we typically don't do it."
After all, what about smoking, fast-food diets, gambling, alcoholism, drug addictions, and many other behaviors that people typically engage that are scientifically proven not to turn out well for us?
Your point about physical distance was very interesting. I would add to 'when physically alone' 'when nameless, faceless, or otherwise of unknown, untraceable identity.' Follow me? Your example of being online made me think about how people act so different being in cars or even pushing shopping carts. Isn't it a little unsettling how people being at even the slightest remove causes them to so much more self-centered?Jul 20 2013: No, it is not true.
Yes, it is true.
For what selfish motivation are you asking this question?
or, if you prefer......
For what selfless motivation are you asking this question?
Jul 22 2013: And are we talking about what is to our benefit or what brings happiness? Because they aren't always the same thing.Jul 20 2013: In reality,sometimes we have to do sth for benefits.But not all.From my experience,I seldom remember whom I helped...I think sometimes help others is one part of dairy life,at least I think being humanbeing we should do so.
So helping in handy,hurting in avoiding.Jul 20 2013: Altruism is real, but rare.

The White House believes it has figured out how to get more money for clean-energy programs touted by President Obama without having it become political roadkill in the wake of the Solyndra controversy: Put it in the Pentagon.
While details are thin on the ground, lawmakers who work on both energy- and defense-spending policy believe the fiscal 2013 budget request to be delivered to Congress on Monday probably won't include big increases for wind and solar power through the Energy Department, a major target for Republicans since solar-panel maker Solyndra defaulted last year on a $535 million loan guarantee.
But they do expect to see increases in spending on alternative energy in the Defense Department, such as programs to replace traditional jet fuel with biofuels, supply troops on the front lines with solar-powered electronic equipment, build hybrid-engine tanks and aircraft carriers, and increase renewable-energy use on military bases.
While Republicans will instantly shoot down requests for fresh spending on Energy Department programs that could be likened to the one that funded Solyndra, many support alternative-energy programs for the military.
"I do expect to see the spending," said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., a member of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, when asked about increased investment in alternative-energy programs at the Pentagon. "I think in the past three to five years this has been going on, but that it has grown as a culture and a practice – and it's a good thing."
"If Israel attacks Iran, and we have to go to war – and the Straits of Hormuz are closed for a week or a month and the price of fuel is going to be high," Kingston said, "the question is, in the military, what do you replace it with? It's not something you just do for the ozone. It's strategic."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who sits on both the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, said, "I don't see what they're doing in DOD as being Solyndra."
"We're not talking about putting $500 million into a goofy idea," Graham told National Journal. "We're talking about taking applications of technologies that work and expanding them. I wouldn't be for DOD having a bunch of money to play around with renewable technologies that have no hope. But from what I understand, there are renewables out there that already work."
A senior House Democrat noted that this wouldn't be the first time that the Pentagon has been utilized to advance policies that wouldn't otherwise be supported.
"They did it in the '90s with medical research," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
In 1993, when funding was frozen for breast-cancer research programs in the National Institutes of Health, Congress boosted the Pentagon's budget for breast-cancer research – to more than double that of the health agency's funding in that area.
Politically, the strategy makes sense. Republicans are ready to fire at the first sign of any pet Obama program, and renewable programs at the Energy Department are an exceptionally ripe target. That's because of Solyndra, but also because, in the last two years, the Energy Department received a massive $40 billion infusion in funding for clean-energy programs from the stimulus law, a signature Obama policy. When that money runs out this year, a request for more on top of it would be met with flat-out derision from most congressional Republicans.
Increasing renewable-energy initiatives at the Pentagon can also help Obama advance his broader, national goals for transitioning the U.S. economy from fossil fuels to alternative sources. As the largest industrial consumer of energy in the world, the U.S. military can have a significant impact on energy markets – if it demands significant amounts of energy from alternative sources, it could help scale up production and ramp down prices for clean energy on the commercial market.
Obama acknowledged those impacts in a speech last month at the Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. "The Navy is going to purchase enough clean-energy capacity to power a quarter of a million homes a year. And it won't cost taxpayers a dime," Obama said.
"What does it mean? It means that the world's largest consumer of energy – the Department of Defense – is making one of the largest commitments to clean energy in history," the president added. "That will grow this market, it will strengthen our energy security."
Experts also hope that Pentagon engagement in clean-energy technology could help yield breakthroughs with commercial applications.
Kingston acknowledged that the upfront costs for alternative fuels are higher than for conventional oil and gasoline. For example, the Air Force has pursued contracts to purchase biofuels made from algae and camelina, a grass-like plant, but those fuels can cost up to $150 a barrel, compared to oil, which is lately going for around $100 a barrel. Fuel-efficient hybrid tanks can cost $1 million more than conventional tanks – although in the long run they can help lessen the military's oil dependence, Kingston said Republicans recognize that the up-front cost can yield a payoff later. "It wouldn't be dead on arrival. But we'd need to see a two- to three-year payoff on the investment," Kingston said.

Press Release2010-01-13
International Business Systems (IBS) and Smeding a leading fruit and vegetable wholesaler in the Netherlands have entered into an agreement for the implementation of IBS software to improve their logistic systems.
Nieuwegein, January 13, 2010 – International Business Systems (STO: IBS B) the leading business application supplier for wholesale and distribution, announced today that Smeding, one of the largest wholesalers of fruit and vegetables in the Netherlands, has selected IBS Enterprise to help support its growth plans and improve process efficiencies in stock control, purchasing, sales, distribution and warehouse management.
The agreement will include implementing IBS Enterprise, the world's most advanced business application suite tailored for distribution and wholesale, along with IBS Advanced Warehouse Management, functional modules focused on logistics, goods handling, warehousing, packaging and assembly for the most demanding warehouse environments.
According to Rinie and Sybo Smeding, owners and directors of Smeding, IBS was an obvious choice. "Last year Smeding started looking for new IT business systems to support our tremendous growth. Our existing systems were simply no longer up to the job. For example, a number of our processes were based on inefficient manual paperwork, which resulted in missing stock and other inaccuracies", they stated. "We decided we needed a fully integrated system that would improve the logistics, control our costs and most importantly dramatically improve our performance to our customers. It became clear during the selection process that IBS Enterprise, and in particular the advanced warehouse management capabilities, would be key to us gaining the insight into our stock and driving the efficiencies we needed."
Smeding will implement IBS Enterprise and IBS Advanced Warehouse Management. IBS Enterprise streamlines, automates and accelerates all of the critical processes within the distribution supply chain processes that determine success: from inventory planning, purchasing and supplier management through warehouse optimization, value-added services, demand management and returns processing. Along with IBS Advanced Warehouse Management, the full solution will support all the activities in the warehouse, factory floor, front and back office.
"The food industry is a very complex sector in which speed and quality of product play a pivotal role. We understand this, and take pride in focusing our energies to help companies like Smeding achieve Distribution Excellence within their field", stated Mike Shinya, CEO IBS. "Our market leading application suite, IBS Enterprise, and in particular our Advanced Warehouse Management capabilities, will help Smeding realize the efficiencies and customer service levels for which they strive. We are pleased to now have Smeding as a customer, and look forward to having a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship with such a great company."

Not its business who gets the retail dollars and who does not.
There was a rare outbreak of honesty in Columbus last week. Mayor Kristen Brown was considering a proposal to allow street vendors to sell food and other goods from carts and trucks in the downtown area, because she thought it would make downtown Columbus more vibrant and welcoming. But there was terrific pushback from downtown business owners, so she has shelved the proposal indefinitely.
The merchants, to their credit, did not spout the usual nonsense about safety or the public good. They want to keep the vendors out for the obvious reason that allowing them in would cut into the profits of businesses already downtown and might take up parking spaces used by workers and customers. "We were here first," in other words, so keep out the competition.
Such collusion is common enough to be standard operating procedure. Business owners talk a lot about the benefits of the free and open market, but when push comes to shove, they want the rules rigged in their favor. That's why hairdressers actually want strict licensing requirements – it helps keep the riffraff out of the profession. It's why package store owners are desperately trying to keep Sunday liquor sales outlawed so they don't have to stay open an extra day every week to compete with supermarkets,
As it happens, the merchants are correct – the street vendors probably would eat into their profits. They're also right that there's some "unfairness" about it. The street vendors don't have the high overhead costs faced by the brick-and-mortar merchants. And they can come and go as they please instead of having to operate more or less continuously.
But that's what the free enterprise system is all about. Companies try to take advantage of their strengths and the competition's weaknesses so they can set the lowest price possible or offer the best service as an alternative. Fast-food restaurants have a tremendous advantage over the upscale places. They can use high volume to make a larger profit with a lowermarkup. So, should government give the fancy restaurants a break by banning the fast-food places?
Of course not. It's none of government's business who gets retail dollars and who does not. If there is a role for government, it is to ensure a level playing field, not rig the game in favor of one side or the other.
The big losers are the people of Columbus, who will not have all the choices they might have had, and won't get to experience the price breaks good, healthy competition can achieve. They're also the ones who can put a stop to such nonsense with a good, old-fashioned fight against city hall.

Romain Grosjean says "should be able" to win this season but concedes that is not entirely in their hands...
Romain Grosjean says "should be able" to win this season but concedes that is not entirely in their hands.
Lotus made headlines during pre-season testing with many rivals commenting on the E21's pace.
But whether Lotus will add to last year's Abu Dhabi win remains to be seen with Grosjean insisting the main target is to continuously improve.
"We should be able to [win], but you never know what the other teams have been working on as well," the Frenchman told The Age.
"That's the tricky bit. We want to achieve that, for sure, but I think the most important thing is to follow your weekend step by step and not think about the win before you've even started the [Friday] free practice sessions.
"Our target is to improve from the previous season. We finished fourth in the Constructors' Championship and we want to improve from there step-by-step.
"It's the goal for everybody on the team to get better and we are going to push in that direction, and score as many points as we can and see where we have chances to go for wins or podiums or just the points."
Pressed as to how he expects Lotus will go at the season-opening Australian GP, the 26-year-old was cautiously optimistic.
"It's hard to say so far, but the car has been well born, as we say. It is a step forward compared with last year, clearly, so I'm quite positive about the car.
"There are still a lot of question marks, but before the start of every season it is the same. But so far the car has been good in [northern] winter testing and I think we more or less achieved the most important things we wanted to.
"It looks good and it feels good to drive, and that's all we can say at this stage. I hope I'm right."

Research now shows that some memory loss attributed to aging can be slowed or even prevented. Growing older does not necessarily mean you'll become forgetful or be affected by "senior moments."
There is now evidence that mental stimulation can improve your mental well-being. Whether using "brain games" or other logistical exercises, you can help your brain get stronger and healthier.
Drs. Majid Fotuhi and Sandra Chapman, both leading experts in neuroscience, join Lark McCarthy, Inside E Street host and Emmy Award-winning journalist, to discuss the present state of brain research.
Also on the show, guest Dr. Henry Mahncke puts Lark to the test, challenging her to play a variety of online brain games.

I made a Shiraz from a kit early this spring (bottled in April). I also made a Johannesburg Riesling. I know reds take longer than whites to age, but we've been enjoying the Riesling for some time now (I have only one bottle left), while when I opened a Shiraz last week it was clearly not ready yet. Has anyone else done a Shiraz? How long did it take before it was good? How long before it was in its prime?

It's honestly a matter of taste. A lot of wines are good young.
A younger shiraz (3 months aging) is going to be pretty fruity and very bright tasting. Something reminiscent of a Beaujolais nouveau, just a little deeper.
At the six month mark some of that frutiness will dial down and blend in with more of a floral aroma/taste.
Year old shiraz tends to be more intensified. The flavors become more focused and lean hard on dark/dried fruit notes.
So once again. It just kind of depends on how you like your shiraz.

Firefighters from across Connecticut are heating up the kitchen with some delicious recipes to spotlight The Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital.
Named "Firehouse Fridays," this special cooking segment on WTNH Channel 8's Connecticut Style program debuted in May and will continue at least every other Friday through the end of the year.
The Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital is undergoing a major renovation, supported by firefighters from around the state. Many of those firefighters will take part in the cooking segment.

Chicken Piccata and Sautéed Spinach with Wild Rice
Combine the chicken broth and 1½ cups water in medium saucepan. When boiling, add rice and cover. Simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat when cooked (the liquid will be absorbed and rice will still be a little crunchy). Let sit.
Heat equal parts olive oil and butter in skillet and sauté half of the garlic (about a ½ teaspoon) for 2-3 minutes.
Add the capers and cutlets to pan. Sauté cutlets for approximately 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. (Thicker cutlets will take longer than 5 minutes to cook.)
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining garlic in separate skillet. Add spinach and sauté for 5 minutes just until wilted. Add fresh Parmesan cheese and stir.
Plate the wild rice and cutlets and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Serve with sautéed spinach.
