How do you interact with everything?
How do you interact with everything?
I love creative answers...!
What are your thoughts on this question?
Closing Statement from Elizabeth Gu
Thank you all for participating in this conversation with creative and thought-provoking answers!
Taught me a lot.
Although the question seems to be vague and need specifying, your answers are just sufficient enough to convey your own thoughts!
To learn, live and love, I want to interact with people with more faith and sincerity.
Best wishes!
Liz :D
Feb 8 2013: Individually, and flexibly.
I would hope to always be sensitive enough to respond to a person or situation spontaneously,as is appropriate to that moment.
I believe 'living in the moment' is a refined skill which can take some time or will to acquire .
one of the things I have learnt in relating is never to speak to someone as if one is giving a speech...it is not necessary.

I mean, being spontaneous is really important.
I love the word "flexibly".
I think it's the key to interact with everything.
With rigid or stubborn mind, one can't freely interact with others.
"I would hope to always be sensitive enough to respond to a person or situation spontaneously, as is appropriate to that moment."
Beautiful attitude....
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful way of interacting with everything :D
Feb 10 2013: ".....never to speak to someone as if one is giving a speech..."

So few words......so powerful...thank you!
I have had to learn to make my expressions short and to the point.
I'm afraid after teaching little ones for too many years, I tend to want to teach adults also.
Such a bad habit to break.
Feb 10 2013: thank you
today I was remembering, by coincidence, when I was attending a teaching course on how to approach teaching adults, this was 30 years ago.
We had been required to write an essay on "There is no such thing as teaching, only learning"... and this was something meaningful to me, even then.
I wrote about all the subtle things that encourage learning : environment, colour, quiet, atmosphere of 'growing separately together', feeling of safety, and hope...
so too adults are still as children learning ... but maybe only need a signpost, sometimes a nudge ?
And we were reminded that an adult knows inside exactly what they want to find. they just don't always know they know.
best wishes from England
Feb 11 2013: Yes...."growing separately together"....this is something that perhaps never comes up in conversations inside classrooms.
If we all had the necessary cognitive skills to really perceive what we have learned as opposed to what the teacher was trying to have us learn......and then sit with our colleagues and teachers and discuss what we each took away from the lesson, or the lecture......I would imagine each class would take hours and hours.....
If I had the time, I would really enjoy delving into a study of our metacognitive skills.
The human mind, with all it's intricacies, fascinate me.
Oftentimes when talking to individuals (adults), I can tell when they just did not understand our interaction. I am left perplexed when they walk away with a totally different idea than the one I was trying to convey. But then perhaps I am the one who did not understand them. LOL
We are so complex.
I too am an educator, so perhaps I am more sensitive to these kind of phenomena.
There was a wonderful conversation last year on TED about critical thinking.
I think you would enjoy reading through it. It went in many directions.
I suggest reading it in the order the replies were posted.
Greetings from FloridaFeb 11 2013: I too am greatly interested in how different people progress metacognitively. While everyone tends to grow greatly in self-awareness (and notceably if one is observing them closely) during adolescence, some people miss and retain blind spots. It is interesting to consider what accounts for that.
Feb 11 2013: I first learned about cognitive skills and metacognitive skills when I first got a computer....many years ago.
I remember I was at my wits end trying to teach a student of mine to read....nothing worked.....I found a great site that explained so much.
Funny thing was, it helped me diagnose several adults around me who had almost no metacognitive skills...........I was SHOCKED!!
Ever since then, I've been highly aware, as I walk around and talk to individuals, that we all have different cognitive abilities. And these can be improved with the right remedial activities.
I know adults who cannot rhyme words......others have retention issues......all because their education was very poor. But also, there are so many other factors.
It is such a fascinating topic. One to devote a whole life's work to......and then some.....
I wish I had kept a log of the page I visited that day online.....I think you'll enjoy the link I gave Reine. For although it is not very technical in nature....it brings out alot of fascinating points to ponder.....not to mention some other goodies to feed the soul.:)Feb 11 2013: I studied this subject when I went back to school to get a secondary credential a bit over a decade ago. Because adolescence is such a crucial time developmentally, enhancing metacognitive skill and self-awareness in young people was a real focal point of pedagogical instruction at the university from which I got certified. A lot of modern curriculum also aims to cultivate in students a reflective disposition.
May I ask what subject and age of student you teach?
Feb 12 2013: Those must have been great classes at the university.
Yes, alot of modern curriculum stresses reflective types of questions. But I have found that unless the teachers are involving the students in oral discussions based on the curriculum and modeling higher order thinking and thinking out loud, it is difficult for the average student to obtain these higher skills, at least in the elementary grades, which is where I have had the most years of experience teaching all subject areas.
My experience with older students have been in one on one tutoring.
I happen to love tutoring students in Algebra......I love to see those AHA moments, when they have a moment of clarity and realize Algebra is not that hard after all.
Alot of times it's not the lack of Math skills that get students in trouble, but the lack of comprehension skills that do them in. They simply do not understand what the question posed is asking them.......that is where all my years teaching small children help me the most.....I have to go back and teach them comprehension.....something that you must apply to all subjects.
What subject and age of students do you teach?Feb 12 2013: I agree about that crucial role of the teacher in cultivating metacognitive skills. That was a big focus of my credential program.
Much of my teaching has been at university, some undergrad, some precocious kids, but mostly graduate students, but at secondary I have been a math specialist, a specialist in highly gifted, and to a much lesser degree science. In those settings, i have also worked with students on research and analytical writing.
I agree that in mathematics the execution of algoritms is seldom as much of a challenge to students, regardless of age, as modeling the problem.And also understanding why things work as they do. Modeling the problem and understanding why things work and when are more important than the algorithms, because algorithms can be executed with calculators now.

Feb 9 2013: Awesome.
That's the most admirable attitude(I want to learn from you).
Sometimes fear, doubt, or hatred interfere with the way we interact with our experiences and others.
Still, with an open-mind, we could sincerely (or should I say fearlessly?) interact with everything no matter what the circumstances are.
Great response!
Thanks :)

Feb 9 2013: I can't tell how old you are, Elizabeth, but in my life, I grew up and have always lived and usually worked in settings with people from all walks of life. I am just not naturally afraid of people. The default to me is always trust.

I think you are right that many people are extremely inclined to make negative assumptions about strangers. In particular too many people assume others- vast numbers of others, or even the majority of others, simply don't have values as good or right as theirs.
When a person makes a mistake at something he tries to do, he understands what it means to make a mistake. When someone else doesn't get something right, though, all too often the observer assumes he didn't TRY to get it right or didn't CARE.
I read an article last week written by a psychology professor at Harvard who said what I also have observed (though in her case she has research support and in my case, my conclusion is informal). She claims that humans have a tremendous similarity in attributes. One of those attributes, unfortunately, is a tendency to believe others are much more different from us than they are- to read superficial differences as representing deep underlying differences of values.
People would get along better, collaborate better, and waste a lot less energy if they didn't look for and assume negative attributes in those who are only superficially different.
Feb 9 2013: Interesting view!
I think people fear to have an open mind because they're afraid to get hurt(from others).
And the reason why they make 'negative assumptions' beforehand is that they want to protect themselves by justifying 'the fact—they believe it to be true', "I shouldn't trust her because I don't want her to hurt my feelings(by betraying me). By all means I should be dubious of her so that I can protect myself from being miserable."
I remember watching some youtube video—can't remember exactly, but I suppose it's called "focusonacting". The guy from the video says that being outgoing means being outside of yourself as if you didn't really care about yourself. And you love being active while not thinking of others being judgy about you.
Well, not that being outgoing equals having an open mind, but I think I learned some important lesson from his video.
If we stop being obsessed with protecting our vulnerable minds while enjoying interacting with others actively, we could have an open mind against any other personal suspicion, fear, and even hatred—against a person who broke our heart, for example?
I agree with you that we are just superficially different. And difference causes either curiosity, which becomes excitement, or fear. Latter is the cause of this defensive attitude, I think.
I really envy you that you have an open mind and trust others.
And speaking of your "default", I believe, in many ways, it would be one of the things that show others how beautiful you are—although I don't know who you are.
I wish I could be like you all the time.
I try to have an open mind, and sometimes it really hurts my feelings or other things.
I often regret, "I should have continued to keep that attitude no matter what…."
I love watching Sarah Kay's and Brene Brown's TED talks….. :)
They always make me realize, "open your eyes and embrace your positive thinking."
Pleasure talking to you, Fritzie :o)

Feb 14 2013: It is easy to interact with everything once one realizes that we are ALL one. When I am mad, and I want to break a glass, A soft whisper reminds me, we are all one, and even the emotion "angry" is part of everything. I calmly accept the NOW.

In interacting with some things/people sometimes I kind of wish that I could go quickly in and out, and leave no trace........To have the interaction be as noninvasive as possible.....
This is my creative answer.

[EDITED: spelling of noninvasive]
Feb 10 2013: Simply love it :D
Liz :)Feb 10 2013: Hi Elizabeth, Your question appears to require a very complex answer, as "everything" is an enormous category. I think there is however, simplicity inherent in what you ask. It is the implementing of the answer that may be difficult. So, here it is: We are all filled with myriad thoughts and feelings. Some of us are particularly sensitive to all kinds of stimuli. Sensitivity can allow a person to be receptive to all kinds of subtleties in life. Such a person may be more sympathetic and empathetic to others. I'd say this is an excellent trait for a teacher to have. Along with the benefits there are the seeming drawbacks to being sensitive. One is hurt easily. One is very self-protective. One can feel that the world is not a friendly place. One can feel very different. Vulnerability is an uncomfortable state to be in. If you look at your sensitivity as a gift or as a talent, you may value it more. You know then, that you need to find the most beneficial way for you to live your life. To experience your feelings is human. Many people shut down their inner life. They may seem untroubled, and at ease, but that may just be on the surface. They may hurt people because they are insensitive. Would you like to be like that?
We can never control the "everything" of life. Often, people respond to others out of their own insecurities. You should not think that everything from another person relates primarily to you. I know this is hard to accept. The first response is that we feel vulnerable. It is best to be who you really are. There are people who will value you and others who won't. As for all kinds of other things, well, you have to be "in the moment". You cannot know everything about everything ahead of when it occurs. There is no "escape" from others reactions, from events out of our control. Your feelings will help you to understand your life's experiences. You will become a wiser teacher and a stronger individual. And, trust your not-knowing - it has much to teach you.
Feb 10 2013: Well, thanks for your thought-provoking response, Wilma!
However, I feel like correcting the word "everything" that seems to confuse you a little.
As for vulnerable traits that human beings all have, I was trying to make sense to Mr. Reisner as his remark is profound enough to make me ponder about it.
As you say, whether we're sensitive or not, we can't control "everything of life".
So, in accordance with my original question—How do you interact with everything, by "everything", the sentence seems to mean something under control of our lives, but it's not.
Although I admit that my question may sound a little too vague or too expansive, in essence, I mean the following attitude after you interact with "everything"—could be anything.
And in retrospect, you may or may not like the way you've been interacting with others or difficult situations or even fortune.
Sorry for not being more specific about the theme of this conversation, but I thought that would be enough—and I still do, anyhow.
One doesn't need to be "know-it-all" when it comes to interacting with new environments or others as you mention, "trust your not-knowing" may teach us a lot more than we think.
Even though honestly I often get afraid of being in an uncertain situation, "not knowing" how to interact with—or in this case, "how to deal with" would be more appropriate, though—uncertainty excites me.
As you may have noticed, one can't help being self-conscious or self-centered as an individual.
Even the word I used "everything" might not contain the meaning of events that happen far away from a person.
But as a part of members of the society, one also wants to know what others feel about themselves and the way they handle things or simply "react".
Perhaps the way I showed "exhibit A" wasn't enough; however, as usual, I love receiving unexpected answers.
Again, thanks for your response. It really makes me try to clarify the purpose of this conversation.
Helpful interaction it is...! :)

(Bloomberg) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said lawmakers in Congress are very, very close to a deal to avert $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts set to start at midnight.
McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, on the Senate floor today called on lawmakers to pass the tax-relief portion of a budget agreement being negotiated that would continue lower tax rates for all but the highest earners.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 137.99 points, or 1.1 percent, to 13076.10 at 3:04 p.m. The Standard & Poors 500 Index gained 20.62, or 1.5 percent, to 1423.05.
President Barack Obama said before McConnell spoke that a deal to avert tax increases and spending cuts starting tomorrow is within sight though it hasnt been completed.
It appears that an agreement to prevent this New Years tax hike is within sight, but its not done, Obama told a group of what the White House described as middle-class taxpayers. He urged people to keep the pressure on over the next 12 hours or so; lets get this thing done.
Lawmakers are seeking to avert tax increases and spending cuts that make up the so-called fiscal cliff. Even if a deal is reached and can get through both chambers of Congress, it would be more limited than Obama and leaders of both parties sought and would set up another fight early in 2013 over the budget and the federal debt limit.
The president said the main sticking point was how to avoid the automatic federal spending cuts set to begin tomorrow. Those may not always be the smartest cuts and would affect defense as well as programs like Head Start, he said.
Under a proposed deal, income tax cuts would be extended for annual income up to $450,000, said an official who spoke on condition of anonymity, with rates rising to 39.6 percent on income above that. Expanded unemployment insurance would be continued through 2013.

Tokyo, Shinjuku - Tatsukichi [Kushiage]
(apologies to Uncle Yabai, who mentioned in a previous thread that this is one of his secret favourite places; but since it's already mentioned before on the boards (albeit not really on the "radar" of most), and in the spirit of the boards, here goes:)
Tatsukichi [2012.03.23 | Dinner]
Located in Shinjuku, behind the now-defunct Mitsukoshi Alcott shopping centre, Tatsukichi is not exactly difficult to find, if you have managed to look up its location on google maps before you head out. However, there are no English signs, so you do have to know how to read the shop sign in Kanji in order to find it.
Efficient, but expect to be in a queue, as no reservations are taken. Counter seating only. No written menu (as far as I know), no English spoken; the chef will start to place fried sticks in front of you after explaining the various condiments; you tell him to stop when you are full.
Depending on the season, you will get sticks with different ingredients. My dining partners and I had:
Prawn wrapped in shiso
Asparagus with bacon, tartar(?) sauce
White fish (?) with seaweed (?)
Kazunoko (herring roe) with konbu
Wagyu with grained mustard
Kogomi (a type of mountain vegetable)
Salmon and cheese
Butterbur with bacon
White fish (?) with mountain vegetables (?), topped with chopped onions
White fish (?) wrapped in shiso
(Notice that there are many question marks in the list. Without the benefit of a menu, I can only rely on my hazy memory, as well as the various photographs I've taken of the food, to come up with the above list. If anyone can identify / correct my list, please do feel free to do so!)
With each stick, the chef will make a suggestion as to which condiment to use.
All the sticks are expertly fried (the ingredients still taste fresh and juicy, not greasy). The batter could be a bit thinner, but that's really nit-picking on my part (i.e. it's probably going to be a lot better than most fried foods you'd have tried outside Japan).
We also got a jellyfish in ponzu as a palette cleanser after the 10th stick, and tea after the last stick.
Even with the sticks being not quite greasy, and the palette cleanser, my dining partners and I could only manage 14 sticks each. There is a board outside the restaurant showing the top eaters based on number of sticks consumed, and the first guy on it managed a whopping 170 sticks! How he managed to complete the feat, I will never know.
Approximately 5000 yen with drinks. Interesting experience; I'd return again!
Tatsukichi 立吉

re: Robb S
guess i should have asked if there's a menu. i knew that they list down the specials on the website, but not the whole menu.
i also saw people ordering ala carte, but they did so with reference to what they had (i.e. "another stick of the xxx"), rather than off a menu.
oh well. there's always the next trip!
Was the number one eater Kobayashi? Cause 170 sticks is insane.
Kobayashi came to my uncle's sushi shop one time and ate like 70+ plates of sushi (two pieces per plate) in like 28 minutes or something. I think he was practicing for a contest cause he later went on to beat that record.
re: Notorious P.I.G.
Ah. I did not think to see who the person was. I only knew it was a "he" because the board was divided into male and female customers.
Btw, the top female customer ate 140 sticks. Heh.
re: akated
Gotcha. Wow, that's insane. 140 twigs.
re: Notorious P.I.G.
stephen tjandra is the current leader with 170 sticks eaten. He's also the only gaijin name on the board of 40 names or so...
I managed 21 sticks earlier this evening
re: hanz39
Wow. Stephen Tjandra has accomplished a feat that most men pale in comparison to. Including you and I.
re: hanz39
Really? Some gaijin is the reigning Tatsukichi Yokozuna? The parallels with the real sumo are unusual...
Given this word of mouth, I am thinking of trying it in my upcoming trip. I wonder how does Tatsukichi compare with Rokukaku-tei (apart from R being much more expensive)? I have been to Rokukaku-tei a couple of times (in tokyo and in osaka) but was not that impressed. I notice that Rokukaku-tei even has a higher score in tabelog. Of the Kushiage shops I tried, Abon (Kobe) really stood out (in the choice of ingredients, their combination and in the skills with which the chef dispatch the frying process).
re: CWFOODIE
unfortunately I have not tried other kushiage places in tokyo before (or japan, for that matter) :(

East Tennessee State Rolls Past UNC Greensboro, 90-76
Tuesday, February 12, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Feb. 12, 2002) - East Tennessee State men's basketball team continued its hot late season play, racking up its fifth straight win and climbing into second-place in the SoCon North Division as the Bucs raced past UNC Greensboro, 90-76 in front of 3,113 in Memorial Center this evening. It was ETSU's (15-9, 8-5 SoCon) starters who got the job done against the Spartans, with all five scoring in double figures and playing all but 18 minutes of the game. The Bucs had another strong shooting performance, hitting on 58.2 percent of their shots compared to 46.4 for UNCG (15-9, 8-5 SoCon). East Tennessee State held a slim lead for the first eight minutes of the game. Leading 15-13, the Bucs put together a 16-2 run that was started by a pair of layups by Dimeco Childress (Columbia, Tenn.). Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.) then had a five-point play; hitting a basket and a free throw on a foul on the shot, and then sinking another pair of free throws when UNCG head coach Fran McCaffery was hit with a technical. A layup by Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) capped the run at the 6:42 mark, giving the Bucs a 31-15 edge. UNCG fought back with its own run, a 10-2 spurt that was fueled by a pair of treys from Jay Joseph and Ronnie Taylor that cut the lead to 33-26 with 3:10 to play. ETSU managed to halt the run, however, and pulled back to an 11-point lead before Tiras Wade (Tampa, Fla.) was fouled on a three-point attempt at the buzzer. He sank two of the three shots and the Bucs had a 43-30 advantage at the half. East Tennessee State maintained its advantage early in the second half and led by 16 points when Wadood slammed home a shot with 15:51 left. The Spartans would not go away and answered Wadood's dunk with a 13-2 run, with Joseph hitting a pair of treys. With 11:41 to go UNCG had come back within five on a layup from Luke Boythe that made it 57-52. Lawson then picked up the Bucs with big three-point shot that put ETSU back up by eight. That basket seemed to seal the fate of the Spartans, who could not get closer than six the rest of the way. Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) then hit back-to-back three-pointers with five minutes to play that iced the game for the Bucs. Fields and Wadood each had 22 points to lead the Bucs, with Wadood adding 10 boards for his ninth double-double of the season. Lawson wound up with 18 points, with Childress adding 13 and Wade 11. Fields also matched his season high with six blocks, which also ties the school record he shares with Greg Dennis. UNC Greensboro got outstanding games from Joseph, who had 25 points on 8-of-18 shooting, 5-of-11 from the three-point line, and David Schuck, who finished with 24 points and six rebounds. ETSU will play its final home game of the season in its next outing, hosting Western Carolina on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 4:00 p.m. UNCG will be home also, hosting VMI at 7:00 p.m.

Parents still demand improvements to schools and teachers.
Nothing like losing an election to have everybody turn on you. Indiana Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett was widely hailed as the architect of the "most aggressive, far-reaching school reform package in the nation." Now he's on his way out after losing to Democrat Glenda Ritz, and The Associated Press remarks on "the ouster of an official widely regarded as a national champion of conservative education policy." And the Indiana Supreme Court is being asked to invalidate the state's voucher program, largest in the nation and "a centerpiece of a conservative education overhaul."
Yeah, no bad public schools here. No need for reform. It's just those silly conservatives with their wild, extremist ideas. No wonder Bennett was booted. Move along, move along, nothing to see here.
Well, let's not say the last rites for education reform quite yet. As Indiana Policy Review Foundation adjunct scholar Andrea Neal points out, the public still wants a better education for our children, and there "should be no debate over Indiana's commitment to improving schools and teachers." Bennett lost because of two forces. There was strong word-of-mouth opposition by the network teachers operate here, and there was resistance from a conservative faction normally considered Bennett's allies – people opposed to the nationalized Common Core standards that Bennett and Gov. Mitch Daniels surprisingly supported.
Ritz is in a peculiar position. The job of the superintendent is to implement education policy enacted by the General Assembly. But she won office opposing everything the legislature has done in recent years. And she faces a legislature with a supermajority of Republicans in both House and Senate. She is not going to have a lot to do. Well, she is doing one thing – removing her name from the lawsuit seeking the end of the voucher system, which she had joined as a school librarian and teachers union member. Give her credit for realizing there might me a conflict of interest there.
That lawsuit puts vouchers on the firing line as the first reform in danger, but there's reason to think it might not succeed. The U.S. Supreme Court has given its approval to the use of public funds for private schooling., Yes, Indiana's constitution could be interpreted as having a stronger "separation of church and state" provision. But it's still true that the money goes to parents, who are the ones who decide whether or not to use it for a religious school.
Indiana's parents have already decided – the program has doubled in size from its first year, with more than 9,000 students participating.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
(Jan. 29, 2011) -
One day after earning its first victory of 2011, the ETSU men's tennis team fell to the nation's top-ranked team Virginia, 7-0, Saturday evening in the ITA Kickoff Weekend championship match.
The Cavaliers improved to 6-0 on the season with the win, extending their school-record home win streak to 80 consecutive matches. The Bucs, meanwhile, fell to 1-3 on the young season.
The top-ranked Cavaliers got off to a quick start in doubles action as the No. 10 ranked doubles team of Jarmere Jenkins and Alex Domijan knocked off
Sander Gille
(Kuringen, Belgium) and
Jesus Bandres
(Caracas, Venezuela), 8-5, at the No. 2 position.
The No. 3 ranked doubles team of Michael Shabaz and Drew Courtney clinched the doubles point for the Cavaliers with an 8-3 win at the No. 1 spot over the ETSU duo of
Grega Teraz
(Mojstrana,, Slovenia) and
Charles Bottoni
(Bois Guillaume, France). All was not lost in the doubles portion of the match for the Bucs as they got a win at the No. 3 position from
Robin Akser
(Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) and
Juan Ramirez
(Asuncion, Paraguay)
The duo defeated Sanam Singh and Steven Rooda, 8-6. Akser and Ramirez finished the weekend with a perfect 2-0 mark in doubles action as they were victorious against Binghamton on Friday night as well.
Virginia remained in control to start singles play as the Cavaliers picked up a quick victory at the No.2 position when No. 3 ranked Domijan defeated No. 73 Bandres, 6-0, 6-2. Just a few minutes later, Singh, the No. 10 player in the nation, won in straight sets over Teraz, 6-4, 6-1.
The Cavaliers clinched the match at the No. 6 position as No. 77 ranked Julen Uriguen defeated ETSU freshman
Jorge Varon
(Valencia, Venezuela), 6-1, 6-2. Courtney, the No. 17 ranked player in the nation defeated Ramirez, 6-4, 6-4, at the No. 5 spot to put the Cavaliers up 5-0.
At the No. 4 position, ETSU's Bottoni got out to an early lead on No. 19 ranked Jenkins, but Jenkins rallied for the 7-5, 6-4 victory. To cap off the night, No. 27 Shabaz earned a hard fought, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, win over Gille at the No. 1 position.
After four matches in the spring dual season, all four of ETSU's opponents have been nationally ranked by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).
The Bucs return to action on February 9 when they travel to Athens, Ga. to take on No. 11 ranked Georgia. The match is set to begin at 2:30 p.m.

Interpretive Handbook
84158 :
Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The thalassemias are a group of autosomal recessive disorders of hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis. Normal adult Hb consists of 2 alpha globin chains (encoded by 2 pairs of alpha globin genes, each pair located on 1 of the chromosomes 16), and 2 beta globin chains (encoded by 2 beta globin genes, each located on 1 of the chromosomes 11). Thalassemia syndromes result from an underproduction of 1 or 2 types of globin chains and are characterized by the type (alpha, beta, delta) and magnitude of underproduction (number of defective genes) and the severity of clinical symptoms (minor, major). The severity of the clinical and hematologic effects is directly related to the number of genes deleted or affected.
The most common form of thalassemia is heterozygous alpha thalassemia 2, with 1 affected alpha globin gene. In heterozygous alpha thalassemia 2, there is no clinical effect and the blood count, including the mean cell volume, is normal. Heterozygous alpha thalassemia 1 and homozygous alpha thalassemia 2 (both with 2 affected genes) have the typical thalassemic picture (eg, hypochromic microcytic anemia, pallor, fatigue, shortness of breath, jaundice, and splenomegaly).
Hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease, having a deletion of 3 alpha chains, is a moderate-to-severe hemolytic disease. The severity of Hb H disease is related to the amount of Hb H in the red cells. The morphology of the red cells is often very bizarre due to denatured Hb found within the red cells.
The deletion of all 4 alpha chains is incompatible with life. Affected fetuses are hydropic and die in utero or shortly after premature birth. The blood smears show large hypochromic red cells, nucleated red cells, target cells, and red cell fragments. Hb Barts, Hb H, and Hb Portland are present in significant quantities. It is the most common cause of hydrops fetalis in Southeast Asia and southern China.
This consultative study tests for the detection of alpha-thalassemias, beta-thalassemias, delta-beta-thalassemia, and for Hb variants that are commonly accompanied by thalassemias: Hb H, Hb Lepore, Hb Barts, unstable Hb, hemolytic anemias, Hb E, hereditary persistence of high fetal Hb (several varieties), and combinations of Hb S with alpha- or beta-thalassemia, Hb E/beta-O-thalassemia, and many other complex thalassemic disorders. Some of the alpha-thalassemias (eg, Hb H disease) can be reliably identified by Hb electrophoresis alone; some require DNA probe studies. Since iron deficiency can mimic thalassemias, ferritin levels are measured to evaluate this possibility.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of thalassemia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A hematopathologist expert in these disorders evaluates the case, appropriate tests are performed, and an interpretive report is issued.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
DNA probe studies reveal deletional mutations that include most, but not all, alpha-thalassemias.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Definitive results and an interpretive report will be provided.

Gallery: Better Place Makes Electric Vehicle Grids a Reality
Lately the Better Place electric vehicle network has been expanding at an incredible rate, with Hawaii recently signing on for an electric vehicle grid and Israel recently unveiling the first completed plug-in charging spot. We recently touched upon the company when we covered California's plans to become the electric vehicle capital of the US, but we wanted to go into more detail about Better Place and how their innovative electric vehicle network would work.
Better Place was founded in 2007 by Shai Agassi, a former executive from SAP, who had a vision to create, well, a better place – a transportation network fueled only by electricity and run in a similar manner to the mobile phone industry. His basic premise was to build and sell electric cars for cheap, make their batteries interchangeable, and sell charges, just like you sell minutes for cell phones. He first sold the idea to Israel, a country surrounded by oil producing countries that is working hard to become greener and more energy independent. Israel is small – the farthest you can drive within their borders is 250 miles – which contains the network and makes them ideal to be a pilot country. They will also offer considerable subsidies and tax breaks for the cars. Since Israel joined up the Better place network has expanded to include Australia, California, Hawaii, Denmark, and Ireland.
They have also began a partnership with Renault-Nissan to design and manufacture an electric vehicle for deployment in Israel and future electric vehicle grids. The car had to be very reasonably priced and would include an operating system being designed by Better Place called AutoOS. This operating system would calculate mileage, determine battery charge, find charging or battery exchange locations, and calculate routes. AutoOS would optimize many aspects of the vehicle's operation, and make vehicle operation and maintenance super easy for the driver. In the future, any electric car or battery that meets the specifications of Better Place will become part of the network. They have no intentions of forming exclusive allegiances, but want the market to determine cost and supply.
The Better Place network is simple in theory, although it will definitely take a lot of work to become operational. First, there is the electric car and lithium-ion battery. Off the shelf battery technology today already allows driving distances of 100 miles per charge, and most of us don't drive that much in a day. The car can be charged at home in your garage through the electric grid, which you pay for through your normal electric utility. While driving, the car uses AutoOS to continually analyze the energy necessary to reach your destination. If there is not enough energy to reach the destination, the car will point you to the closest charging station or battery swap location.
The battery swap stations are fully automated allowing the driver to pull up into a swapping stall or parking spot, hit a button and a machine will swap out the battery for a fully charged one. As the battery is not technically owned by the car owner, think of the battery like cell phone minutes – when you run out, you buy more. Depending on how much you drive, you can sign up for monthly plans or pay as you go. The car can also be parked at a charging spot, and left to power up while shopping or at work. The charging spots are the same size as a parking meter, and the on-board AutoOS will link up with charging spot without the driver having to worry about a thing. AutoOS will even take into account the price of electricity at the time and charges accordingly. Charging spots and battery exchange places will be located throughout a Better Place grid to provide ample places for drivers to repower and reach their destination.
The Better Place network will also employ on vehicle to grid technology, which uses the electric grid to charge the car batteries. Charging will be cheaper at night when there is less demand for energy or when there is a surplus of power supplied by renewable energy. The countries that are currently working in corporation with Better Place have already made big commitments to renewable energy power. Hawaii alone hopes to provide 70% of it's power from renewable technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, and micro hydro.
Additionally, advances and upgrades will be necessary for transmission lines, distribution, and real-time monitoring of supply and demand. There is still a significant amount of work to be done in order to create a working network of electric vehicles, but if you look at what Better Place has already accomplished in the last year, it won't be long now before it is a reality.

[…] Better Place is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry with their innovative plan for EV infrastructure — and now they're putting their money where their mouth is by testing a brand new battery switching station in Tokyo. The first real-world facility of its kind will swap spent car batteries for fresh ones, helping to perfect the system in order to develop more efficient prototypes. Better Place is working with a pilot-program fleet of three cabs to stress test the facility, which can swap an EV's spent battery for a full one in less than a minute! […]

Hi Bridgette !
Shai Agassi also signed the same agreement for a Better Place network in Lisbon (Portugal), my home.
Do you know if the plugs of such network will be opened for the various EV's we expect soon in the market, or has Mr Agassi chosen a proprietary system, for example exclusive to his deal with Renault-Nissan ?
I really hope Better Place also stands for freedom of choice.

Hey Ji,
Your approach is good for moving your torch positions & not having to be concerned with either a steel or aluminum weld surface. Mine is steel & I like simple.... I just welded a 1" steel tube to the weld table. I also made a small support rack under my shelving area next to the TIG table to keep my rod sorted, clean, & handy.

Hi Denny,
Your holder is fantastic.
Your bench is small so there would be no need to go looking for the torch or a need to move it around.
Your holder combine with my clamp would be a mile better than what I have done from an ease of build point of view.
I have a similar PVC pipe storage system to you but mine have end caps to keep out moisture and other air borne contaminates.
Great photos thanks.

Hey Ji,
Yeah, I do have caps for all the tubes. The pic was taken just after installing them & filling each of the tubes.

Hi Denny,
I thought you would have caps.
Pretty sweet setup mate.
It does not take much to get yourself setup with everything at your finger tips.
Tool caddies or holder are pretty handy, I am going to make a TIG line holder next.
The line or hose that carries the argon and current to the torch is heavy and should not get kinked, so I was thinking of hanging it from the ceiling in my workshop directly over the welding bench. This way it is up and out of the way, not getting kinked and not draging the torch down out of my hand.

Nice job and well documented.
Here is what I came up with after years of dropping my torch and breaking the ceramic nozzles. The last straw was about a year ago when I was doing a small stainless steel job for a friend. Since I didn't have a holder, I had gotten into the habit of putting the torch in my lap while I positioned the work between welds.
All was ok until I bumped my foot pedal while the torch was in my lap.............!
The holder is made of some 6al4v rod I had left from a sculpture.
It is 7/32" diam and I found a small piece of 1/8" titanium for the base.
Bolted to a cup magnet, it has saved my legs and other parts from hot tig burns.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:
Call me the "Clouseau" of welding !
Hi Burnt Hands,
I too placed the torch in my lap between runs.
Some times I have on a leather apron and other times not.
I have a few pairs of pants with electrode burn holes in them from this practice.
Your holder looks fantastic.
I have some titanium plates but no round bar. I can not get 1/8" Ti plate here in Australia which is what I really need for some projects.
A magnet on a steel table top is the go for sure.
Thanks for adding to this thread.
Great images too.

Nice ideas here. I have magnets I pulled out of old computer hard drives that would be great for this, although some might be too strong. OTOH I also buy up old C clamps at yard sales to hack up for this sort of thing. The problem with that is that most are still good after cleaning off the rust so I hate to hack them up. Decisions decisions.

Go BLUE!!!
agree with the last 2, what the Bengals biggest need was finding guys that could get into the endzone. I think Eiffert helps w/ that a great deal, and I love what Bernard brings as a compliment to BJGE steady as she goes pounding.
Margus Hunt is certainly interesting. He sounds a lot like the OLB they took 3 years ago in the 3rd round, tall and lanky with a lot of upside. It took a couple of years, but Michael Johnson certainly blossomed, and in all likelyhood, they're going to need a replacement for either Johnson or Dunlop in the next year or 2. I don't think there is anyone else with that kind of potential coming off the edge on this team.
If anything, I think this draft is similar to the approach the Steelers used for so many years. Draft a developmental guy 2-3 years before you need them so you have a young talented guy to replace the high priced free agent you just lost. How many times did the Steelers plug in another LB that they developed over the years?
How would it be if Bengals went out and signed Tebow?
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
The offense was 22nd last year, the defense 6th. I'm pretty thrilled they addressed the offense in the first two rounds.
This looks like as deep of a Bengals team as I can ever remember them being. Doesn't mean anything since it's just on paper, but I'm excited. They should contend for the next few years at least, which is all I hope for with them.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
--Oscar Wilde
I really wish Tebow would agree to become a tight end. He probably could be a productive player at that position.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
Reports are more than one team has asked Tebow to move to TE and he has declined to do so. I would imagine he tries to latch on with a team like NE since McDaniels is there if not it might be worthwhile for him to go to the CFL.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
If playing as an H back means being on an NFL roster versus not being on an NFL roster, i gotta believe he'll end up capitulating.
To this point he's been able to find a team willing to let him play QB; that ship may have sailed.
The Bengals have enough space to sign both Johnson and Dunlap while keeping Geno and AJ. They barely use their money and are always keeping some in reserve for possible injuries. You can also always cut someone like Peko and Gresham is gone after this year as well......as he to me is like the TE version of James Francis...big talent, little heart and ability to want to make himself better. Collecting a paycheck basically.
I think Gresham is signed for 2 more yrs
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
I heard an argument, from I believe Tim Hassleback, on ESPN radio the other day. He asked which would you rather have as your backup, the current backup for last season's NFL playoff teams, or Tebow. At first blush, you'd think the current backup, but once he started running down the list of backups, Tebow doesn't seem so far out of the picture as a backup QB. He may not win you a season, but he may just win you a crucial game in the 4th quarter if your starter gets hurt.

2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
3 1/2 tablespoons
lemon juice
These are wonderful lemon bars! After reading some reviews about too little lemon filling, I made a couple adjustments. I kept the crust the same but pressed it into a 9x9 pan and baked for 10 minutes. Then I increased the lemon filling to 1 1/2 times the amount in the recipe. This gave me the perfect ratio of crust and filling! Perfect balance of sweet and tart.
While these did turn out okay, it's definitely not was I was looking for. It makes a really thin bar, I wanted something thicker. It tastes fine, but I will never make again, or if I do, I will triple the filling. THOROUGLY DISAPPOINTED!

I've been making these for about 6 years from this recipe. They are so delicious. I always make four batches. I use two batches in a 9 x 12 pan and they are just right. Everyone requests them and they get eaten up fast.
Even my boyfriend who doesn't like sweets kept raving about this one. I did have to add about an extra tablespoon of butter into the crust. Also, when I was looking over the recipe it didn't look like there would be enough filling so I changed the serving size to 24 (original recipe makes 16). So - leave the crust measurements the same and multiply the filling measurements by 1.5.
These were and are wonderful! I'm actually eating one right now as I type this! I have made these Lemon Bars a few times now and love the outcome...I'm completely addicted! lol I did change a few things to make it more to my liking. For instance, I baked the shortbread like crust for 15 mins instead of the 20 the recipe called for. I also added WAY more lemon juice...about 1/4 cup actually. :) My husband and I decided that we wanted more lemon taste. Thanks for a GREAT recipe that I will make all the time! :)
These were fantastic! I had several lemon bar recipes to try, and I chose these specifically because some reviewers said there was not enough filling. I like more crust than filling (I must be the only one!), but no one else complained that there was not enough filling. The crust was nice and thick, and had a great shortbread taste. The filling is not too sweet, and had a perfect amount of lemon flavor. I will make these again.
I have been baking for many years, and this is the BEST lemon bar recipe I have ever come across. I would suggest cooking the crust for five minutes less than the recipe says.
I made this for a bake sale, and they were snapped up! Delicious taste! I cut the sugar in half and added some more lemon juice since I have a "sour" tooth.
Overall, mouth-watering.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding in the space between your brain and the surrounding membrane (subarachnoid space). Bleeding usually results from the rupture of an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel in your brain (brain aneurysm).
Sometimes an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in your brain (arteriovenous malformation), trauma or other events cause bleeding. A subarachnoid hemorrhage may lead to permanent brain damage or death if not treated.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for neurology and neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings.

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgery), brain and nervous system conditions (neurology), brain imaging (neuroradiology), physical medicine and rehabilitation and other areas work as a team to diagnose subarachnoid hemorrhage, determine the cause of your condition and quickly develop the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
To diagnose your condition, your doctor may evaluate your symptoms, including any unexpected, severe headaches. Your doctor may order tests to diagnose and determine the cause of your condition.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. A CT scan uses a series of X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of your brain and blood vessels. CT scans can help detect bleeding in your brain.
Your doctor may inject a contrast dye to view your blood vessels in greater detail (CT angiogram).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of your brain and blood vessels. An MRI can help detect bleeding in your brain and may help determine the underlying cause for the bleeding.
Your doctor may inject a dye into a blood vessel to view your blood vessels and show the blood circulation in your brain (magnetic resonance angiogram).
Lumbar puncture. If your doctor suspects a subarachnoid hemorrhage but the hemorrhage doesn't appear on a CT scan, your doctor may order a lumbar puncture.
In this test, a doctor will insert a needle into your lower back to withdraw a small amount of fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). Your doctor will examine the cerebrospinal fluid for the presence of blood.
Read more about CT scan, MRI and lumbar puncture.
Mayo Clinic doctors trained in brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeons), brain and nervous system conditions (neurologists), brain imaging (neuroradiologists), physical medicine and rehabilitation and other areas work together to provide your care.
Your treatment team will work with you to quickly develop an individualized treatment plan for you. Your treatment is based on the cause and severity of your condition.
Mayo Clinic staff trained in neurological critical care provides your treatment in the intensive care unit and closely monitors you to stabilize your condition.
The staff treats your symptoms and detects and manages any complications you may experience, including rebleeding, narrowed brain blood vessels limiting blood flow (cerebral vasospasm), buildup of fluid in your brain (hydrocephalus) or other complications.
Doctors will treat the cause of your subarachnoid hemorrhage, including arteriovenous malformations, trauma, brain aneurysm or other causes. Depending on the cause of your condition, you may need surgery or other treatment.
If your subarachnoid hemorrhage is caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm, you may need surgery or an endovascular procedure.
Endovascular embolization. In this procedure, a doctor inserts a long, thin tube (catheter) into an artery in your groin and guides it to your brain using X-ray imaging.
Your neuroradiologist or neurosurgeon then guides detachable platinum coils through the catheter, placing the coils in the aneurysm (aneurysm coiling). The coils fill the aneurysm, which reduces blood flow into the aneurysm sac and causes the blood to clot. Your surgeon also may insert a balloon or tube (stent) in the artery to keep it open and then perform the aneurysm coiling.
Endovascular procedures sometimes need to be performed again. You'll have regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to watch for any changes.
Doctors will monitor your condition for any changes or complications while you're in the intensive care unit and during regular follow-up appointments. You may also need physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

By Janelle
Comments: The quality of the item is well worth the price. The texture of the wood is very smooth. I am satisfied that I chose this product considering it is an Eco friendly item. Its good to know I am helping out the enviroment !
"a lovely surprise"
By Beth Staas
Comments: I liked how it looked and how handy the compartments were. But the warm wood and carving was a very pleasant surprise not that it didn't look good in the catalog. But the color and smoothness of the wood made its modest price a real find. I'm delighted to give it as a gift to a rather picky son.

How does anything exist?
I want to know everyone's opinion. I mean, isn't the concept of being alive just crazy and strange to anyone? I feel that people don't look around enough and wonder how crazy existence is. Most humans seem to go through life as if they know what they are doing and know exactly what life is. But really, what is anything?
Helen Hupe
Aug 24 2011: Like quantum mechanics....if I observe it, it exists for me. IF I don't observe it, it does not exist for me. That is as far as I can get !!!!!
- +3
Aug 26 2011: 'if I observe it, it exists for me"
what about vise versa?
if you not observe something it not exist?
Helen Hupe
Aug 26 2011: Mr. Ahmadi... If I do not observe something, it does not exist FOR ME, It exists for anyone else that is observing it. By observing I don't limit the definition to eyesight alone. Observation is in the mind not in the eyeball and the blind sometimes observe more than the sighted can see..
- +1
Aug 26 2011: Dear Helen,
please think again to my question.
if you observe you can say it exist
but if you not observe you can not say it does not exist. you only can say I not observe it. nothing more. and if you say I not observe so it not exist it is not rational even if you say it not exist.
existing of something not need your believe and it will exist even if you believe it not exist.Aug 26 2011: Dear SR, "if you not observe something it not exist?"
nope. it may exists and so does flying spaghetti monster, one eyed God, unicorn, phallus God and God with no head.
Aug 26 2011: yes they are theoretically possible.
but there is no evidence or even any claim for existence of them.
but at least Koran exist as a claim of God.Aug 26 2011: so does bhagavad gita.
Aug 26 2011: perhaps they are same with two name.Aug 26 2011: nope not possible. Geeta never ask its followers to lie.
Aug 27 2011: "Geeta never ask its followers to lie."
also God of KoranAug 26 2011: Sir.....I did not say that object which I do not observe does not exist. Did you notice that I said
FOR ME. Now if I trust my memory or take the word of another, I can say I believe it exists.
You have a strong BELIEF that the God of the Koran exists, I do not. The God of Koran does not exist for me. My God is existence.
Aug 27 2011: Helen,
my argument with you was logical not based on belief.
I said God of Koran for det not for you.
yes I notices you said FOR ME and what I said was FOR YOU
Comment deleted
Aug 27 2011: not ask but allow.
it is exceptions. 3 exceptions does not change the law.
each law has exceptions.
also those exceptions are accepted by any wise human.
if in a war you be captured with enemy and enemy ask you where is location of your friends and wants to send a missile and kill them all do you say the correct location? because a true God loves his believers and also lie is a great sin a true God should predict such condition in a true religion and allow it. unless that religion is not from true God and is human made. a true religion from true God should be complete with no error. because true God has absolute knowledge of everything.
Comment deletedAug 24 2011: It's strange, and the more you think about it the stranger it gets.

idk why but your post eminded me of thisAug 23 2011: Ah, the big question. I, too, ponder the wonder. The Hubble Deep Field and the idea of multiple universes is staggering. Makes you just want to sing and dance that you're here at all, doesn't it?Aug 24 2011: If you keep trying to wrap your mind around that, you're going to strain something. :-D It is the boundary our minds and language can't pass.

Aug 23 2011: Hi Austin

I'm with you here. My whole life has been trying to understand it all. What I find difficult is that the vast majority of folks don't seem to consider it at all. They just live, watch football, & die without a second thought.
The whole universe is just hanging there, we are like a mist; here today, gone tomorrow. Life as we know it hangs by a thread, but it's so precious.
I have come to the conclusion that the bible is on the money, & am now a Christian. Whether I am right, or we are the result of an explosion & lots of luck is a choice we all have to make (or not). Whatever the individual concludes, there is no denying the whole thing is awesome !
:-)Aug 23 2011: There is the idea that nothingness is extremely unstable...
I do think we still don't know for sure how it all came to be (or whole existence), but we can go back for about 13.75 billion years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe), and from then on, we have quite a good image about how things evolved from then...
Living is indeed very fascinating and can be considered crazy...
We can only say "it just is"
Jacob Miller
Sep 18 2011: Sometimes I just stare at myself in the mirror and think "what am I" Mindblowing"HAHA . mThe only thing I know is that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. A child of God who in his infinite love and wisdom made me to love and wonder and worship. :)Aug 25 2011: Good observation Austin.

The being in itself is the phenomena that is shared by all that exist. It is the core of what we are and around that lies the separateness in which you define yourself or anything for that matter.
The seer, the seen and the seeing is one and the same, consciousness in action.
Austin Korn
Aug 23 2011: Thanks for all of your input everyone! I guess where I'm trying to go with all of this is to try to find some sort of way to open the public's eyes to the fact of our existence. I feel that if we all open up to this phenomenon, we can all get over the little stresses in life that bring us down, quit fighting over pointless arguments and disagreements over beliefs which cannot be explained, and realize that we are all on this earth for some unknown reason and should work together to further the human experience. Personally, reminding myself that "I am a part of this world for reasons I cannot understand" helps me put aside problems and negative aspects in life, and helps me put my focus to more positive things life has to offer instead. Fighting over beliefs which cannot be proven only hinders our world's development and may even end up terminating it if we aren't careful.

Aug 23 2011: "we are so isolated in this society, we hardly ever realize we are engaging with specific spaces. we need to re-teach each other to notice where we are, how we exist in relation to our environment, and how we hope to re-shape the worlds we live in"
Aug 23 2011: Love this quote, who said it?!
Aug 23 2011: it was in this anarchist magazine. so use it freely :)
Kent Spencer
Aug 23 2011: It's hard to wrap your mind around the idea of existing. I believe to have existance, a creator has to be the cause of it. And the same has to behind the creator.And the same has to be behind the creator of the creator of the existance lol if that sounds right. I believe there isn't an end to existance if it has always been. It's only right.

Aug 23 2011: It's Turtles all the way down!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down :
The most widely known version appears in Stephen Hawking's 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which starts:
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"[1]
Aug 23 2011: Do you believe if existance has always been, there isn't an end to it?
Aug 24 2011: Sorry for not placing a smiley next to my remark Kent...
I don't really "believe", I assume something to be true until new data shows me otherwise.
As far as I'm informed, we can tell something reasonable about existence from aprox 13.7 billion years ago. We can also assume the thermic death in the far far future.
Before 13.7 Billion years, i'm agnostic about what was or wasn't there... (even whether there was time before the point we sometimes call big bang).Aug 27 2011: There must be a creator, but I always feel to personify it is to miss the point perhaps. Nuclear fusion could be viewed as a 'creator', as could erosion by wind or water. What it lacks in intention, and design, and existence is so complicated and intermeshed, that for some it is impossible to put it down to chance. But the universe is vast, and although most of it is empty, there are countless planets and systems, such that unique and impossibly unlikely occurences are bound to occur. It is strange, and we are extremely lucky to a) be here to experience it and b) be able to concern ourselves with what its all about. But we can't preoocupy ourselves with it all the time. Our opportunity to live life is short enough without adding levels of abstraction that aren't necessary. And sometimes the simplest answer is correct. Perhaps existence just is, because it was bound to be.
Kent Spencer
Aug 27 2011: If we were ever to get the answer from the man upstairs himself, I don't think his answer would make sense. Firm believer that nothing can just poof out of no where into existance. There will always have to be a creator....for the creator. So it never ends. So I say, If existance has always been, then there will never be an end to existance. Circle of life baby!Aug 23 2011: if you removed anything and everything from this planet that was human construct, then everything would be alive to some degree. so really, we are probably the only ones to realize and construct something that is not alive.Sep 18 2011: Right on man. Great question. I have no idea though. Ha :)Aug 24 2011: "I think therefore I am."
- +2
Aug 24 2011: So if the ability to hold thought is the demarcation between existence and non existence then things that do not think such as rocks, and wind currents do not exist. Or perhaps they think and we just do not perceive the thought. Or maybe the physical world is just a by product of our thoughts.
Well anyways I do think but I'm not sold on this whole existence thing.Aug 24 2011: It exists because you're 'talking' about it.
It doesn't exist because you can imagine the possibility that it doesn't.Jan 1 1970:
Jan 1 1970:
Jan 1 1970:
Aug 27 2011: TED is right. If you want to promote your religious beliefs there are many places you can do that. To do so in TED's conversations, given TED's mission, is inappropriate. Lots of people have told you the same thing.
It's not censorship in the sense that propaganda and religious promotion have no place in the good work TED is doing to enlighten people and facilitate solutions.
Just as I know my comment here will be removed for the same reason.

text: Marcel Mens and Juan Tates, Directors of @Hand Communications and @Hand InBusiness, are testing the boundaries of customer orientation using innovation, creativity and multimedia. @Hand Communications is an organization with a very strong growth which exceeds 15%. Kris Rote of de Baak: "How do you combine creativity, gaming, learning and increased sales?""Customer demand is our top priority. How can we help the customer using innovative multimedia? Creativity is needed. For creativity, we first take all the customer's preconditions. What limitations has the customer set? When does it have to be ready? What is the budget? What objectives must be reached for the target group and for them? These are essential, since we challenge ourselves to be creative within these frameworks. Studies have shown that people are most creative when they are limited in some way and under pressure. We then look for new ways to meet the given conditions. I will give you an example: a telecom provider wanted more customers in its stores. We thought of challenging people on the street to play a game with and against each other. Our colleague carried two game consoles in his hands and the screen on his head. The game began immediately and people were tested on calling. For example: 'How many calls are made in the car, on average? How many text messages are sent each year?' In each case, a great atmosphere developed, whereby the participants wanted to bring out the best in themselves. In the game, they associate themselves with the products and services. They learn about them and explain what they might need while they are playing. Then they can collect a prize in the store nearby, where there is always contact. In this way, people learn specifically about your products in a pleasant way. You often meet resistance when you sell your products. In some stores, an additional 750 customers came in on one day. And enjoyed themselves." What does this mean for your business operations? "We also select our colleagues on the basis of these qualities: to be able to come up with new creative solutions under pressure. 'Necessity is the mother of invention.' We do not work by 'do as you please.' If there is a job applicant who says: 'I am creative because I often have nice ideas,' I know: 'that's not what we want.' The skill is to devise a workable, out-of-the-box solution that is also playful and thus generates enthusiasm. A personal association for the participants with your brand is essential. They have to be able to pass on the word to others." What are the challenges for you as a person: in your leadership and your entrepreneurship? Marcel: "For me, it is keeping a focus. I do everything, take on everything. I am often confronted with myself as a person and as an entrepreneur. Of course, I can't do that; if I don't watch out, I will demand it from my organization as well. And we are all working on all sorts of things." Juan: "Entrepreneurship often requires a lot of patience, certainly in these times. With some plans, six to eight months may pass between the first and the fourth meeting, when we finally receive approval. My challenge is to remain positive and to continue to keep the faith that the course we are following is the right one. Marcel and I complement each other well."

About Antibiotic Use and Resistance
Since their discovery in the 1920s, antibiotics have transformed our ability to treat infections. As antibiotic resistance increases, these lifesaving drugs do not work as well as they once did, and successfully treating common infections becomes more difficult.

Kitz bits: Quotes, Knauss and women rocking the Hahnenkamm{mosimage}First off, some quotes…
'It's the Super Bowl of ski racing. They hype it up well, the race organizers are on it, and it has good prize money.'
– John McBride, head downhill/super G coach, U.S. men's team
'There's a lot of by-effects coming out of a victory at Kitzbuehel, because everybody remembers that, even more than a championship or Olympic Winter Games. … That's how they created a huge name.'
– Atle Skaardal, FIS race director and 1990 Hahnenkamm winner
'It's a course like no other. All kinds of rumors and stories prevail before you even go there.'
– Rob Boyd, Canadian coach, third place in 1991 downhill
Hans Knauss likes the American party style
Saturday night, the Americans will party down at the Londoner pub in Kitzbuehel. It is a 30-year old tradition, started by the Canadians and Franz Klammer and adopted by the Americans (although Canadians make appearances, as do World Cup good guys such as Didier Cuche, Kjetil Andre Aamodt and Finlay Mickel).
Hans Knauss of Austria digs the tradition, even if he can't participate. 'I heard that the Londoner is good' he said in a Ski Racing magazine interview before the season began. 'That's what I like about the Americans, they make good party after a win. … For an Austrian it's sometimes hard to go out in Kitzbuehel.'
Knauss won the Kitzbuehel downhill in 1999. 'If I would win again, I would also go to the Londoner' he said.
But Knauss is done with racing, having received a two-year suspension for testing positive for traces of an anabolic steroid he said came from tainted supplements. He now commentates for ORF, the national broadcaster in Austria. On Saturday, he wore a helmet-cam and skied the Hahnenkamm right before the race commenced.
Because he's not racing, he has threatened to show up at the Londoner. 'The next years I have time to go out' he said.
[Ski Racing interviewed one of the owners of the Londoner earlier this week.]
Back in the day …
The first race down what would become the Streif was on Feb. 19, 1930, the year that the cable car accessing the mountain opened. The winner of that first race, Jakob Lackner, had a time of 9 minutes, 55 seconds.
In 1935, the course was straightened, eliminating a few uphill sections, and in 1937 skiers first got to run on a track similar to the one used today. The winning time that year was 3 minutes, 53.10 seconds, set by Thaddaus Schwabl.
In the early years, there were much fewer gates on the course, and skiers would follow the corridor through the trees however they saw fit. Through the Oberhausberg section, which consisted of a cherry orchard and houses, they picked their own line in the 1950s, bringing the course record down to 2 minutes, 47.90 by 1954 (Christian Pravda set it).
In 1982, Harti Weirather was the first to complete the Streif course in less than two minutes, and in 1997 Fritz Strobl of Austria set the record which still stands today … 1:51.58

Women at Kitzbuehel
It's a little-known fact that in the pre-World Cup days, Kitzbuehel hosted women's Hahnenkamm races. The first was in 1933, and Rini Andretta of Austria won both the downhill (time of 7:54.2) and the slalom (time unknown) – and consequently, Andretta won the combined.
Women didn't race at Kitzbuehel again until 1935, and this time it was Dutch skier Grazia Schimmelpennick, who swept the three races.
The best American performance in Kitzbuehel – man or woman – has to be that of Andrea Mead-Lawrence, who won the downhill, slalom and combined in 1951. Another American woman, Linda Meyers, won the slalom in 1960.

My husband surprised me this weekend by bringing me to this Hideaway Bed&Breakfast for my 26th Birthday!! He knew how much I needed sometime away from everyday life. This Bed&Breakfast was the perfect idea! I know he spent a lot of time and effort researching the perfect place to go. I'm glad that your establishment was as full-filling as he had hoped it would be. The peace,serenity, and romance of our room, and this whole place provided us a much needed break from the "real world" We enjoyed the tour and the Hideaway Staff was very friendly. Having the cat and dog around and the wooden swing made us feel like kids again, and as though we were at our home away from home! We only wish we could stay longer! You definitely have us wanting more. We will come back in the near future!!! Thank you for a wonderful 21 hours of peace and romance!! Christy&Brad Hays - Huber Heights,Ohio " "
