Volume 22. Issue 4. November 2007 (Pages 473 - 500)
The Cuban-Kongo society of affliction known as Palo educates its initiates in the visceral apprehension of Kalunga, the vast sea of the dead. Kalunga is taught as unstable and unverifiable experience at the limits of sensationchills, goose bumps, or a fluttering in the chest or stomach. Building on an account of this teaching from fieldwork, I draw from anthropology and philosophy to account for Kalunga's role in Palo materialism. In this article, I elaborate a writing strategy explicitly critical of "representation" and suggest the creation of a "foreign language within our own" as a way of handling ethnographic "content." This "new language" for Kalunga is assembled from Palo terms, and from the turning of terms in the writing of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, G. W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Marx. I arrive at a description of Kalunga as a paratactic discourse, and a "plane of immanence," from which are assembled, and into which are dispersed, "versions of the dead," including "objects," and "subjects."

The Thomas S. Wootton High School football team forfeited its season-opening 41-0 win over Walter Johnson High School.
Wootton Athletic Director Christopher Thompson said the team used a player who was ineligible due to improper residency during the Sept. 7 game
"It was more of a case of trying to help a kid out and get him to a different place, and he just happened to be a good football player," Thompson sad. "I know it looks bad, but I think it was more of a situation he was in previously, they were trying to be in a better situation."
William "Duke" Beattie, the county's director of system-wide athletics, said the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association was notified Monday of the forfeit. Beattie also said no other Wootton games are being investigated.
Wootton falls to 2-1, erasing what had been the team's first 3-0 start in at least a decade. On the field, Wootton has been dominant, beating Walter Johnson, Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School and Winston Churchill High School by a combined score of 106-14.
Wootton coach Tyree Spinner did not return a call seeking comment.
Walter Johnson improves to 1-2.

Our recording begins as we walk towards the center of the Davis green. You can hear some friendly banter between Will and I as we discuss upcoming concerts. Another prevalent noise is a constant flow of wind while we wander towards the granite benches near the sidewalk. The microphone also does a good job of picking up the dull thrum of surrounding conversation, with a few more discernible phrases interspersed within the recording. For much of the recording we can also hear Will softly strumming his guitar which provides a nice and simple background soundscape. For a short bit you can hear some clicks and pops of my beatbox in accompaniment to Will's guitar. The long section of our interview then commences which was quite exciting and amusing for everyone involved. We then head back through the Davis center, run into an SGA booth asking for suggestions, and head through the tunnel. It cuts out halfway through the conversation because the sound file was too big to transfer from my phone voice memos.
I enjoyed the interaction of the many human voices throughout our recording because of the differences distinguishable through a reduced lens. Listening to the recording also reveals how cacophonous the more populated areas of the campus are. I was also interested in how a lot of the sounds I could hear on the recording were not exactly noticed while we were in that moment and time. I really liked this particular assignment because I got to see how much sound exists all around us that we aren't even registering.


text: Truly a band out of time, the Australian power trio Wolfmother were conceived in 2000 -- about 30 years too late, considering that the musicians' psychedelic brand of proto-heavy metal sounded similar to the late-'60s/early-'70s craft of Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist/organist Chris Ross, and drummer Myles Heskett, Wolfmother took the initiative of recording a four-track demo in 2004 for the purpose of booking shows. So sterling were the results, however, that the band soon found itself re-recording the material for official release via the local label Modular Records. A second EP, Dimensions, appeared in 2006, and Wolfmother made the jump to the majors in early 2006, courtesy of an American distribution deal with Modular through Interscope Records. A self-titled album debut appeared in May and reached the Top 40, resulting in a trophy for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 2007 Grammy Awards. Co-founders Ross and Heskett left the group the following year, leaving Stockdale and new members Ian Peres (bass, keyboards), Aidan Nemeth (guitar), and Dave Atkins (drums) to carry the torch with 2009's Cosmic Egg. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Party photographs by Rasta Dave
Five is the number that symbolizes harmony and balance. It's the number of seconds that can pass after you've dropped food on the floor and still eat it. It's the number of digits we throw in the air and slap as a celebratory hand gesture. To Coco Chanel it signified the pure embodiment of a thing, its spirit, and its mystic meaning. To Chrome the number 5 represents a key milestone, and we can't help reflect on where we started and where we're going. If the grand opening party of our Mission HUB on Valencia, our 5th Chrome HUB, was any indication of what's to come, we'd better break out some sunglasses because the future looks bright.

Arthes Essential Fragrances
Hard-to-Find Single-Note Eau de Parfums By Jeanne Arthes
Arthes Essential Fragrances
Hard-to-Find Single-Note Eau de Parfums By Jeanne Arthes
Arthes Essential Fragrances 8 8
Soft, lovely fragrance I love this fragrance. It's distinctive but not overpowering. I gave a bottle to my mother for Christmas and she liked it so much that I bought a bottle for myself. So happy I did! February 3, 2014
Wish the fragrance were stronger I purchased this perfume on special because I love the smell of patchouli. The bottle is beautiful and looks lovely on my vanity. I also greatly appreciated receiving two samples of the company's other fragrances with my purchase (they were in the box). Unfortunately, I wish the fragrance were stronger. I can smell the fragrance, which is very pleasing, when I spray it, but, it seems as if it immediately dissipates. I know fragrances are often undetectable to the wearer but I'd like to catch a whiff of it from time to time. I do smell it on my clothing at the end of the day, so I guess it can be noticeable to others. In sum, I would recommend this product to others. I really liked the packaging, the shape of the bottle and the tassel on the lid, as well as the free samples. Perhaps it is just my nose and not the quality of fragrance. If one is searching for a subtle fragrance, this might be the one for you! January 2, 2014
Not Patchouli Horrible scent. December 2, 2013
Lovely fragrance I've always loved the scent of roses. It's kind of "old fashioned", but floral and feminine. It's something I've always enjoyed. Samples of the Jasmine and Patchouli were included in my order, and I really liked the Patchouli, too! I thought the price as very reasonable, being on sale. October 21, 2013
Nice simple rose smell If you like a light rose frangrance, this is a great (inexpensive) perfume. The fragrance is very nice and my friend purchased it after trying it once. I have to reapply if I put it on in the early AM and want to have the frangrance last for an evening out, but have to do that with my designer brands also. The bottle is cute and looks great on my perfume tray. July 10, 2013
Got it! Just what our daughter likes. As always Vermont Country Store delivers what it promises. July 4, 2013
Nice but..... This perfune is supposed to be a single note - ROSE. It does NOT smell like a rose. It is a nice light floral scent but it definitely is not a rose. The packaging and bottle are both very elegant. Just don't expect a fresh blooming rose scent. I was hoping more for the pure scent of a real dew kised Rose. June 24, 2013
Great fragrance!!! This fragrance is the closest to "Fresh Patchouli" that Jovan used to make (not exact, but very close)! It smells so good! Also, they send sample tubes of the Jasmine and Rose. I think the Jasmine is great, and plan on ordering that in the near future. January 28, 2013

DescriptionUntil recently, a small number of model organisms has been the focus of most research in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. But in the last few years, due in part to increased interest in questions of evolution, technical advances in selectively altering gene expression patterns, and the reduced costs of genome sequencing, the range of organisms used for research is greatly expanding. Emerging Model Organisms, Volume 1, introduces the reader to this new generation of model organisms, providing a diverse catalog of potential species useful for extending research in new directions. In this volume leading experts provide chapters on 23 emerging model systems, ranging from bat and butterfly to cave fish and choanoflagellates; cricket and finch to quail, snail, and tomato. Subsequent releases of the Emerging Model Organisms series, already in preparation, will focus on additional species. Material is also available in CSH Protocols: www.cshprotocols.org/emo
Emerging Model Organisms is a laboratory manual that will help scientists expand their work to new and relevant genetic or physiologic systems. This new book presents profiles and protocols for a wide variety of model organisms that are anything but ordinary. Each of the 23 chapters in Volume 1 focuses on a particular organism or group of related organisms, and begins with discussion of the organisms background, utility in research, distribution sources and husbandry information. Key protocols on maintaining and working with the organism are provided. These detailed instructions allow the reader to have quick access to the essential information that is necessary for using these unique models. Additional resources include information on related species, genomic resources and Internet databases.
The first volume of Emerging Model Organisms illustrates the bewildering variety of natural histories and rapidly advancing techniques that have been developed to work with a wide spectrum of organisms. If Darwin were around now, he would have been the first to happily make use of this manual and would be impatiently awaiting the forthcoming tome, describing the emergence of honeybees, squids, ascidians, rabbits, ants...and many more.

Right now, work is underway to convert Stowe's Jackson Arena municipal skating rink into a Bavarian village for this year's Oktoberfest, September 26, 27 and 28. It's one of the village's most popular events for both tourists and locals.
The entire family is invited. There will be lots of Otter Creek craft brewed beer, German foods including bratwurst and knockwurst, American foods such as hotdogs and chicken, live music and dancing, pumpkin and face painting, Saturday morning parade, raffles, games, craft booths, and general merriment.

Santana is a rock band based around guitarist Carlos Santana and founded in the late 1960s. It first came to public attention after their performing the song "Soul Sacrifice" at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when their Latin rock provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This initial exposure made their first, eponymous album a hit at the time, followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups Abraxas and Santana III. Over the next few years, lineup changes were common and frequent, and although retaining a basis of Latin rock, Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band further into more esoteric music, which continued for many years, although never quite losing the initial Latin influence. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve being honored. Santana has achieved a total of eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards which were all awarded in 2000. Carlos also won two Grammy Awards as a solo artist in 1989 and 2003.

INDIANAPOLIS — A storm system pushing across the Midwest has brought Indiana strong thunderstorms packing winds of up to 65 mph amid unseasonably warm temperatures.
The National Weather Service reports overnight storms with winds in excess of 50 mph swept across much of the state. The highest reported gusts were 65 mph winds in south-central Indiana's Monroe and Morgan counties.
The storms also dumped heavy rains as high winds knocked down scattered trees and power lines. Duke Energy reports that about 5,000 of its central and southern Indiana customers are without power.
Before the storms arrived in Indianapolis, the state capital set a new record high of 65 degrees shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday. The weather service says the previous record for the day was 64 degrees, set in 1947.

I used an Albuterol inhaler as an emergency asthma reliever for decades. At one point, when I was having the worst attack that year, my doctor had me use massive doses poured into a special atomizer. By the time that session was over he must have used half again what my pocket inhaler could hold. If it is that hard to overdose on this medication, I am wondering why it is not an over-the-counter product, upstaging the much harsher Primatene or Bronkaid. Now that I am back in colorado I do not use it anymore. It can make you a bit lightheaded.
FDA has announced a recall of some unit doses of albuterol. The unit doses are mislabeled, looking like they are less potent than they really are. See this article http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm238624.htm for more info and lots numbers of recalled meds.
Works great, used it for years!

Money Management Tips For Using No Teletrack Payday Loans
Even though you may carefully budget your money and try to save up, sometimes there can be an unexpected incident that requires money quickly. Whether an accident happens or your bill is much higher than normal, you never know when this can happen. Read this article for tips on using no teletrack payday loans wisely.
If you find yourself needing to take out a payday loan be sure, you shop around first. Every company has different policies and rates, and by shopping around you can save yourself from a big headache. Be sure to ask as many questions as you can before you sign on to anything so you know what to expect.
If you are serious about getting a payday loan, you should budget your money for the next few weeks so that you will be able to pay the loan back by the due date. Understand that the loan is a short term one, and you will have to pay it back very quickly.
Payday loans are an excellent way to get money in a hurry. There are lots of companies that offer this service, and the costs associated with these types of loans vary. Look for the best deal on the loan so that you can pay it off quickly and without any significant recurring debt.
Because payday loans are usually approved within one day, you should not jump on the first online payday loan company you stumble across. Different companies have different interest rates, fees, and terms and conditions. Make sure you do research, and surf the Internet to find the best possible company for you.
It is a good idea to shop around before you decide on a payday lender. Different lenders will offer different rates and charge different fees. If you just go for the first offer you receive, you may end up paying a lot more. Shopping around could save you quite a lot of money.
When you are looking for a payday lender, search online so that you can compare rates and find the cheapest provider. Additionally, look for a lender that mentions, "no faxing." This means that you can provide all of your information online, without having to go through the hassle of faxing a paystub. You can complete the whole transaction online, without leaving your home. Fill out the online form with the information the lender needs, and you could have cash deposited directly to your bank account within one to two days.
If you want to have some extra money for something like a new jacket or a nice dinner, you should wait until you get paid and avoid taking out a No Teletrack Payday Loan. While it may be tempting to get quick money, the amount you have to pay back will make it all not worth it.
Although you should never use payday loans as a default each month, they can be of great convenience to you if you are in a tight spot. Having a steady paycheck is required, but this can be a great way to pay an urgent cost if you cannot wait until you are paid!

Aksel Lund Svindal lead Mathias Mayer and Georg Streitberger in a HEAD World Cup rebels 1 – 2 – 3 in the opening World Cup Super G for the Men. This was Svindal's 22nd World Cup win and the sixth time that he has won at the Canadian resort, not to mention his fourth win in a row in the Super G World Cup.
"I knew that Georg was fast, I heard that on the start," Svindal said when asked about his plan for the race. "I knew it was a fast course, especially on the "Coaches Corner" and "Fallaway" sections, people kept making mistakes there and I could have probably done a bit better there myself. But, what is important in Lake Louise is to carry the speed down, I was mainly focused on that and on being as compact as I could in the last section," he added. It was this last section where Svindal excelled and pushed on for victory.
Streitberger used his early start to good advantage and despite having been held in the start as the course was re-flagged, Streitberger was smooth at the top and then through the critical section around Waterfall and onto Fishnet, despite a small mistake, he was fast. Although his Austrian compatriot, Mayer, going at 17, bettered his time, no one else was able to get close to the three racers.
"The course set was easy but it was difficult to attack and risk everything," second ranked Mayer commented. "Still, my run was good, I skied particularly well in the steep section but maybe in the last gates I lost some time, that might have cost me a victory. But overall I am very happy with how it went today."
"It was a good course for us downhillers, I like it when super-G is closer to downhill than a giant slalom," his teammate Streitberger commented on the course set. "I think the course was fast but good to ski and I am satisfied with how I handled it. I only made one mistake at the last big turn but things like that can always happen. It's my first podium in Lake Louise and that for me makes today a perfect day."
A host of HEAD racers coming back from injury all made World Cup point scoring returns with Kjetil Jansrud 11th, Beat Feuz taking 14th, Bode Miller 23rd and Johan Clarey 30th just 1.90 seconds off the winners time set by Svindal.
With this win, Svindal moves into the early lead in the race for the Overall with Ted Ligety in third.
1. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
2. Mathias Mayer (AUT) HEAD
3. Georg Streitberger (AUT) HEAD
11. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
14. Beat Feuz (SUI) HEAD

I want to create very many ERDAS .img files using GDAL under C++. I don't want to have to process them all in ArcMap to create statistics for them (mainly because ArcMap fumbles when calculating statistics for very many input images in batch mode). I want to create the .img files complete with statistics calculated for each. I see python utilities for this, but nothing under the C++ API. Does anyone have a solution?

Sinbad the Sailor
Drama, Romance
In the RKO swashbuckler Sinbad the Sailor, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. nostalgically emulates his famous father. The first seven voyages of Sinbad have come and gone: now he is on an eighth mission, in search of the island where Alexander the Great allegedly hid his treasure. Participants in the proceedings are the incredibly gorgeous Maureen O'Hara as a feisty princess, Walter Slezak as a duplicitous green-skinned barber, George Tobias and Mike Mazurki as two of Sinbad's faithful seamen, and Anthony Quinn as the villain of villains, who meets a suitably fiery demise. If the plot seems well nigh impossible to follow at times, you can always wallow in the splendiferous Technicolor and the eye-popping stunt work of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (and, it must be admitted, his uncredited stunt double). Budgeted at nearly $3 million, Sinbad the Sailor was one of the few postwar RKO flicks to post a profit.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ethel Quade Ressler, a former bus driver and contractor for St. Mary's public schools, was sentenced Friday to spend 10 days in jail for being impaired by alcohol when she arrived at a high school to transport students home.
Ressler, 69, was convicted in May of attempting to drive a vehicle while impaired by alcohol while transporting a minor after she was arrested at Leonardtown High School on Dec. 13, 2012, and found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.19, according to the state prosecutor's office.
Ressler said she was not scheduled to be driving a bus she owns on the afternoon of Dec. 13, but after one of the drivers cancelled she decided to take the route and drove the school bus from her home in Mechanicsville to Leonardtown High School.
"She panicked and made a very terrible decision," Dan Slade, Ressler's lawyer, said.
Someone called emergency dispatchers and reported a bus swerving on the road before she arrived at the school. At Leonardtown High, students had begun boarding Ressler's bus at the end of the school day when police arrived.
School transportation officials said she is no longer permitted to drive a bus in St. Mary's.
"That is a reckless disregard for the safety and lives of children," St. Mary's District Judge Christy Holt Chesser said.
The judge suspended a 180-day jail sentence to 38 days, further reduced by 28 for time she spent in a rehabilitation program.
"It was the worst day in my life and I apologize I made such a stupid call," Ressler said in the courtroom Friday.
She was escorted out of the courtroom to immediately begin her 10 days in jail.

I am building a trailer to haul around my two atv's and mabye some wood or just about anything that you would use a trailer for.
I am using 2x2 tube .125 wall and 2x2x1/4 angle all for the bed frame it is 7 feet wide and 12 feet long. With the torsion axle's I am using they are stubs so I had to put double frame rails down each side and the crossers are at 20 inch centers.
I will be using 1x1 x.125 for all the upper frame sides covered in 3/4 expanded metal
and the two drop gates for loading will also be 1x1 tube.
the axles are 3500# with 15 inch tires.
Question----- Do you think this will be to heavy? I wanted to make it strong and sturdy able to handle alot.

the weight should be easily calculated. You should be able to find charts on weights of various shapes on steel supplier web sites.
For example, the 2x2x1/4" angle weighs 3.19 lbs/ft, the tube weighs 3.05 lbs/ft.

By the way, he had a career low in yards, yards per catch, first downs, etc in a contract year nonetheless. It's not like the system made him ineffective, he actually had the most targets he's ever had. Does no one remember that god awful stretch from weeks 8-14? Even if he was the best blocker in the NFL, he'd still be considered mediocre with those numbers.
If you can provide some insight on his blocking ability id love to hear it, but it certainly didn't do us any good this year. We couldn't protect the qb effectively and we certainly didn't run effectively. He should be held partially responsible for that

I was an art major and am very color coordinated. I have been an organizer all my life...and still am. I love the repositioning aspect and the colors rock keep me inspired and organized!
This review is from Color Coding Labels 5795:
Our district uses a positive behavior system and we keep track of the students daily behavior. I use the colored dots on a chart for each student as each color represents the level of behavior that the students are on. We have added orange so I am in need of obtaining that color as well as read, yellow, and green.

Our Church raises over ten thousand dollars annually with an all church garage sale. Pricing things will make your eyes cross! Until a smart woman thought of these wonderful colorful dots! WOO HOO
We assigned a color to a price and whammy we were done pricing in no time! LIFE SAVERS ! I love these dots...After the garage sale I used some I had left to organize my classroom jobs at school. I'm a smart woman too! Little ones..could have a yellow dot on each shoe that kisses a dot on the other shoe to help them put their shoes on the right feet! SO many! ideas come to mind....I can see me saying to little guys...put your socks in the red dot drawer! Put your ideas into organization mode and try these!

When a group of people in a meeting wants to vote on different options, these dots are perfect for the job! Easy to use, bright colors, don't take up much space in my meeting supply box. And they are well-priced.

Wage Gaps Between Men and Women
|European Commission waging war on the pay gap
According to data of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, average median wages for men in OECD countries are 15% higher than those for women. At one end, male median earnings are 20% higher than women in Korea, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States while at the other end, the wage gap is less than 12% in New Zealand, Belgium, Poland, Greece and France. These figures are for full-time employment and do not take into account part-time employment, which is more popular among women. Other factors that might lead to the disparity between male and female wage are discrimination and types of jobs. Many OECD countries have legislation that ensures equal pay, but obviously there is a divide.
The divide becomes even more pronounced when you compare data from low wage earners with high wage earners, the bottom and top 20% of the wage distribution. The gender gap in wages is more pronounced among high wage earners. It is suggested that this is a result of the lack of women in managerial positions.
However, these statistics and this theory has been challenged on a number of respects, principally on account of the fact that it is far too simplified. When considering different regions, fields, ethnicities and age groups the statistics can be dramatically different than the general picture portrayed above. According to the United States of America 2005 Census, while women in their 20s nationwide earned only 89% of their male colleagues earnings, in many major metropolitan regions these same women were earning more than their male counterparts. (For example, in Dallas women in their 20s earn 120% of the salaries of their male counterparts.) Indeed, given that the rate of growth of women's incomes increasingly outpaces that of men's, and that the factors commonly believed to be driving this relative rate increase (higher rates of post-secondary education for women, higher wages for graduates, higher relative wages for women in urban environments, higher levels of urbanisation) are all similarly increasing, the hypothesis has been made that a reversed wage gap is now in its incipient stages in OECD countries.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation
This conversation is closed.
What would you do if you were told that you had a fatal disease?
On January 12, 1996, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma - an incurable blood cancer. The oncologist held my hand and looked me in the eye: "Kathy, it is 100% fatal. You have about 3 years. Get your life in order. Spend time with your family."
At age 37, I was the mother of a 1.5 year old daughter. I asked myself a tough question: despite knowing I was dying, what would make me happy? My goal became clear: to live long enough that my daughter would remember me.
The odds were against me. Myeloma had no awareness, research, or funding. The treatments offered in 1996 were the same as in 1956.
I had to start an organization dedicated to this disease to change the dismal statistics. My identical twin sister Karen and I founded the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) to kick start research with the goal improving the outlook for patients like me
The work funded by the MMRF has dramatically changed the prognosis of a myeloma diagnosis. Five promising drugs have been approved by the FDA, the latest just in July 2012. Myeloma patients are living on average seven years and longer. There are eight more drugs in clinical trial, most of them tested through the clinical framework set up by the MMRF - including one that is under review by the FDA with the potential of being approved in the next 3 months. Mapping of the myeloma genome, funded by the MMRF, will likely lead to new breakthroughs and allow the right patients to be matched with the right drug at the right time.
Seventeen years on from my diagnosis, I have just sent my daughter, who I never expected to see start Kindergarten, off to college. The MMRF has achieved more than I could have ever imagined –doubling the lifespan of patients and changing the face of cancer research. But my story is still very much the exception, my mission and the MMRF's mission is to make this the norm – to give other patients the chance to experience these life moments and ultimately to find a cure.

Nov 16 2012: well, then it wasn't really terminal for you, was it? I could say I'd go to Nevada, where prostitution is legal, and hire some prostitutes. But then sex with a prostitute seems kind of unfulfilling. Or eat a lot of Korean food, which I love. But then I wouldn't feel as good as I do on my current diet, which is somewhat different than Korean food. So maybe I'd just do exactly what I'm doing. You could say we all have a terminal illness, in fact we're all mortal, and we're all going to die. Hopefully we're all using our time as best we can.

Nov 13 2012: invite it in and watch for the lesson it is bringing ....after all
- +1
the word "terminal" is an oxymoron because "that which changes is not real ...and what is Real does not change."Nov 10 2012: I am dying of a terminal illness. All physical life ends in physical death.
This being said, I am one of those who deliberately manifests my own reality. Because of this, I believe that no one dies without his/her consent. Most illness is belief based and it serves us when we are off course.
Congrats on all you have done.
Nov 27 2012: Dear TED Lover, I have enjoyed reading your writings and find your perspective on many topics refreshing. Thank you for being here. I wish you would elaborate on "most illness serves us when we are off course."
Nov 27 2012: Thanks for your comment. I am not ignoring your request for elaboration about illnesses that serve us when we are off course. The question is important. My ability to articulate it in 2k characters or less is in doubt in my mind, so I must first manifest an answer. It is so closely related with choosing to die. I'm leaving your question in my in-box until I know how to answer it.Nov 28 2012: OK. I'll try. It is easy enough to deliberately manifest your reality. It's how humans work & what we are supposed to be doing. To learn how (for free), simply go to YouTube and query create your own reality or manifest your own reality. This method works very well at manifesting "things" into your reality. Many find that it does not work well when handling more pressing issues - like health while ill or money while poverty-stricken. This is not because it doesn't work. It's because most YouTube instructionals miss the next step.
Thoughts are things - literally. Beliefs are thought constructs. Your reality REFLECTS (literally) your beliefs about reality, not FACTS about reality. As you toy with manifesting things into your reality, your successes will prove this to you.
So if when you are convinced, you work backwards and become AWARE of your beliefs, you can examine them. Our belief structures are filled with contradictory, outgrown, invalid, & untested beliefs. Contradictory beliefs cause you to work for & against self at the same time. Very self-defeating. Untested assumptions can lead you to unintentionally undermine yourself.
When you become AWARE of your thoughts & emotions, you can begin to recognize your own belief structures. Some will be seen as obviously in error, but others will seem invisible because you are so comfortable with them. Don't let that deter you. Reality REFLECTS beliefs about reality. It doesn't portray facts about reality.
example of contradictory beliefs: http://crookedtimber.org/2011/09/22/contradictory-beliefs/
this leads to "emotions". Strong emotions portray mistakes in the belief system. They're a compass. Too many think that emotes are an end to themselves, but they're not. They're an invitation to resolve a mistaken belief. When this is accepted & utilized, one is ready to work on deeper issues as mentioned above.
Meditation is helpful in connecting self with self.
out of characters.. Helpful?
Nov 29 2012: That is a lot of food for thought and quite fascinating....What the heart knows the mind can only dream of ....and so emotions are a compass directing us towards what needs to be learned about ourselves.Nov 29 2012: Re: How to test an assumpton:
Let me start by using Dan Pink's (TED talk) explanation of what really motivates a person as one example - though not fully answering your question.
A deeper answer:
If you have a belief that you are unable to do something, and you have never tried doing it, your untested assumption may well be holding you back. Most people believe that humans are powerless beings. I have found that this is incorrect. I know that I am powerful. I do not know the extent of my power, but it is VAST.
My most shocking revelation of a false, untested assumption came when I faced imminent death at the hand of a violent aggressor. Knowing that there was no way out (I certainly wasn't strong enough or big enough to escape), I decided to be "at peace" (not wanting to die terrified). At one point, I heard the words "turn the other cheek" in my thoughts. Because I chose to be "at peace", the words resonated, so I did when his fist gently moved my face from right to left rather than smashed my jaw as was his intent, I gave him my other cheek (in peace)..
The attacker kept missing me and suddenly ran away. That's when I learned that inner-peace is incredibly powerful. (A similar situation occurred a decade earlier in the face of an attempted rape, but I didn't put the pieces of the puzzle together because I didn't yet know how powerful I am).
I'm not suggesting that one put self in danger's path to test an assumption, but as you learn the extent of your power by practicing manifesting, more and more questions and opportunities will come to mind. As you sort through your beliefs, you will find those outgrown & contradictory beliefs. This will open your mind.
what I meant about the next step comes from recognizing that it is impossible to create consequence B when you are working on creating consequence A. Fix the belief first, then that which you are having trouble manifesting will manifest.
Dec 1 2012: I agree that this life is about "putting our own pieces of the puzzle together"Dec 2 2012: Juliette, I would like to suggest a couple of things.
1) Meditation does not require any special poses. Just sit comfortably with spine relatively straight. Choose a chair that works best for you. Most sages say 20 mins. 2ce/day is powerful. Soon you will be able to slip into meditation for a few minutes here or there, and you will gain as much benefit.
2) Manifesting for others while undermining yourself: Think about this. Your power is meant to benefit YOU. Bring to yourself all that you want. This is your right and purpose. BUT - when you manifest for others, you are actually assaulting the "reality" of others, and as you do to others, you do to yourself. Of course there will be unpleasant consequences.
People's lives look like they do because of choices they have made. They make choices consistent with their belief systems. If you override a natural consequence of another's belief system, you deny them the ability to make their own adjustments in life. This naturally leaves them feeling confused, disempowered, and vulnerable to life. As much as you may want to help, or someone may want you to do their work for them, you do them harm when you do. And, as you have discovered, you do yourself harm.
YOU are the light of YOUR world. Let your life shine so that it will be an inspiration, BUT DO NOT live your life in order to be an inspiration. Keep the focus on YOU. You are the light of YOUR world, not theirs.
I know this sounds selfish, but think of it as SELF-ish. As the airline steward says before taking off: If you are traveling with children, put on your own oxygen mask before attempting to help the child with his/hers.
There is much you can learn about yourself by teaching - if you pay attention to yourself. This is a fair & safe way to use your power with others. Every minute that you are in the presence of another, you are teaching / learning something.
And remember: There are many who do not want to be saved from themselvesDec 3 2012: I am sorry that I misunderstood. Perhaps you can explain.
There is more, but 2k characters per post limits. If your intent it to use your power to heal others, you again begin with self. Heal self and share that healing of self with others. The other then has the opportunity to choose to keep the healing or not - as their belief systems will permit.
Group healings work in the same way. All visualize themselves as the perfection that they/we are, and the power is amplified.
Either way, it begins with filling your own pitcher first.
Your exclamation marks tell me that I offended. Please understand that it was not my intent to do so.Nov 27 2012: Wow some lady you are!! Your input and changes have changed this world for the much better!
That being said, I have no qualms about death, it is very much a part of life. It is a transition from being conscious of the body to being conscious of the spirit. Like walking from one room to another. The afterlife is a reality to me, and I'd love to explore it and meet friends.
When all of a sudden we lost our daughter I was glad for her, but very sad regarding ourselves because that was a great loss. In a couple of months she was supposed to get married too.
Both thumps up!!Nov 26 2012: This brings recall of a Talk Eckhart Tolle did in 2005 "The Art of Presence"
the strange condition most humans are in .."They have to get sick to get better"Nov 19 2012: I really commend on what you have done and how you well you have coped with having such an illness. As to your question, I would just commit suicide.
Nov 26 2012: Dear Rafshan, what if you got another opinion that would show the first one was wrong? or would find out that there is actually treatment that could save your life. If you stay positive and hang around you could be very pleasantly surprised. A lot of people are working hard everyday on finding cures. Not surprising is that these people lost a loved one to cancer. The idea is to join the team and work towards this goal before you lose a loved one. Meanwhile, trust in the greater force that gave you the miracle of life.Nov 13 2012: I would prepare myself by meditating on God is good and loving. I would remain as happy and active as my illness permitted and most of all surrender.Nov 13 2012: I'd say your motherhood and your family helped shape your decision on how to respond. Not having kids or an immediate family, but being a spiritual person, I'd focus on spiritual reflection and maybe writing for the sake of others' benefiting from my discovered spiritual treasures-- nothing puts one in touch with life so much as certain and imminent death...

JC Paper is a distributor of fine printing paper, food service and janitorial supplies - the company chose IBS integrated supply chain management software
Mark Clarke, VP and General Manager of JC Paper likes that IBS supply chain software is fully integrated.
JC Paper is a distributor of fine printing paper, food service and janitorial supplies. From its base in Fremont, California, the company services Northern California and Reno, Nevada and also operates four retail stores in the region. These stores sell reams of paper, janitorial or industrial products and paper plates to consumers and also act as mini warehouses, which are used as distribution hubs but with a retail front-end.
In addition, the company has a production facility in Southern San Francisco that makes envelopes. Typically, 95 percent of JC Paper's business is wholesale. Out of six competitors in Northern California, JC Paper is number three in terms of sales - an impressive achievement for a small independent.
In business for over 48 years, JC Paper is one of two independent paper merchants on the west coast of the USA. As such, JC Paper deals with highly competitive pressures in the marketplace. Low margins, pricing and quality requirements, short turn-around, tight delivery schedules and safe inventory levels are just a few of the daily operational challenges that JC Paper faces.
JC Paper's base of 7,500 customers can call in, fax or email their orders as late as 18:00 hours. 90 percent of all orders require next-day delivery. An average 3,000 order lines are processed per day through JC Paper's 18,000 square meter warehouse.
With two different systems for distribution software and warehouse management software, the biggest problem for JC Paper was the synchronization of data. After learning that one of these SCM systems was discontinuing, the company realized that the best way to solve the problem was by installing one integrated supply chain software solution for its business.
JC Paper went through an eight-month selection process before choosing IBS integrated supply chain management software. The main reason for this choice was the IBS commitment to integrate Radio Frequency (RF) with Warehouse Management software. Other vendors did not give the same assurances and obligation to the project.
IBS has provided JC Paper with an automated paper distribution system. In a tight market, integrated and automated sales orders, campaign planning and analysis and reporting are key areas that help find and retain customers. JC Paper has gained complete control over inventory with optimized, automated warehousing and the ability to plan, simulate and replenish accurately and quickly.
IBS covers JC Paper's needs for distribution software, financial software, inventory control software, warehouse management software with RF support, customer service software and advanced pricing options. Planning and configuration tools help the company to meet short lead-times and fulfil back-to-back orders, keeping its customers happy and ensuring next-day deliveries.
When customer service representatives input orders, pick instructions are dispatched to the warehouse staff via RF. Inventory is updated in real time while the orders are picked in the RF terminal. JC Paper has particularly benefited from IBS Inventory Control software. Inventory software module helps the company replenish the right products at the right time, and at efficient quantities, with great improvements in performance.
Once orders have been picked, the final steps are to prepare the products for shipment and produce the shipping paperwork. Inventory availability can be seen immediately and the product moves from allocation to ship. For fast, efficient deliveries, JC Paper runs 28 truck routes per day.
In the near future, e-business software will allow JC Paper's national accounts to have real-time access to a wide variety of merchandise. Customers will be able to perform on-line ordering and get access to product information, stock availability, order status and even credit status via the Internet.
In short, IBS has wrapped up JC Paper's business needs in a new package, complete with fast ROI, business performance measurement and value.
The implementation of IBS paper distribution software at JC Paper was split, starting with a small segment of its business. After smoothing out some creases the rest of the company went live three months later. The most immediate benefit was the effect of a fully integrated distribution software solution.
The biggest impact made by IBS inventory software was with inventory accuracy, which is now running at 99.8 percent. With IBS inventory control software installed, JC Paper is proud to boast that if stock is available at the time of ordering, it would definitely be on the shelf to pick. Making correct and quick decisions about stock replenishment has improved total efficiency and profitability.
More information is now available at the customer service reps fingertips, enabling a leap ahead in customer service for JC Paper.
Seamless integration has resulted in higher efficiency, improved communication and company-wide performance. JC Paper has found the best software package for its paper distribution business. IBS has made the company's further expansion into janitorial and food service distribution a trouble-free process.

This should be named "Southern Cornbread" I've made cornbread this way for 60 yrs. The only thing that would make it better, if White Lily still made Three Rivers cornmeal. They stopped about two years ago. It is still excellent. I use a 10" skillet. This is also very good crumbled into a glass of cold milk.
This recipe is indeed interesting from an historic perspective - possibly a passed-down recipe from an age where leavening and maybe even white flour was hard to get and not always available to the lonely farm-wife.
The density and lack of sugar are not so detracting as the lack of salt or any other flavoring in this recipe. It reminds me a little of the modern "depression era" bread recipes that leave out salt as if it were so dear as to be unaffordable... which I doubt was really the case except in the most severely poor homes.
Some other reviews suggest adding sugar or baking powder or all-purpose flour. That really would change the recipe too dramatically and take away from the simple charm of this "southern" cornbread.
I would suggest adding a teaspoon of salt. It maintains the spirit of this all-corn southern bread, but makes it palatable. If you want a slightly fluffier cornbread, meringue the egg by beating vigorously to froth before mixing with other ingredients. What the poor southern cook might have lacked in ingredients, they could make up with elbow-grease.

You could use either an 8" or 10" skillet for this recipe. A variation I like is to make this become "cracklin' cornbread," something my grandmother made. In the south, you can buy cracklins in the refrigerated meats section of the store. If that's not available to you, buy a bag of snacking pork rinds and crumble into small bits yielding about 1/4-1/2 cup and mix it in the batter. If you're a "purist," you can use 1/4 cup Crisco or other "solid" shortening in place of the oil; just cut it into the dry cornmeal until you have small crumble results and then add other ingredients. This is my favorite kind of cornbread! Goes great with pinto beans, black-eyed peas, turnip or mustard or collard greens, or chili.
This makes a great corn BREAD. If Marie Calendar's is waaaay to sweet this is the one for you. Even if you don't top with honey, jam, preserves, jelly or syrup it's quite good. This is the only one I've come across that doesn't doesn't have sugar and flour.
I didn't care for this recipe. Maybe I did something wrong that the other reviewers did right, but it tasted so bad. Bland, gritty, flat...my husband, kids nor I could even eat it!
I love this! To me, cornbread should never have honey, sugar, or any other sweetener in it - it's corn BREAD, not corn CAKE! :) It should be coarse and savory with a hint of sourness - this fits the bill perfectly! Thanks for sharing this.
If you like sweet corn bread or "muffin like" corn bread this is not the corn bread for you. It has no sugar and no flour. This is a plain "southern style cornbread". You can dress it up by adding jalapenos, cheese, or anything else you like. This is just the Basic recipe. This is a great cornbread eaten with chili or on the side of most southern meals. I like it as it is crumbled in a tall glass of milk.
Wow Stacy this was fabuous and we love this with chili. Thanks for your creativity and sharing!

A disease such as cancer can be one of the most stressful experiences of a person's life. The stress of cancer and its treatment is increased by family, work, and financial concerns, in addition to everyday stress that was present before the cancer diagnosis.
Stress has not been shown to cause cancer; however, chronic stress may weaken the immune system, causing other health problems and decreasing feelings of well-being.
Tips for reducing stress
Some sources of stress (known as stressors) are predictable and can often be avoided. Making small changes can help lower the number of stressors in your life. Consider the following tips for reducing stress:
Avoid scheduling conflicts. Use a day planner or electronic calendar to keep track of your appointments and activities. When scheduling activities, allow plenty of time to finish one activity before starting the next. Don't schedule too many activities for the same day or week, especially activities that require preparation.
Be aware of your limits. Allow yourself to say "no" when people ask you to take on tasks that you don't have time or energy to complete because of fatigue from the cancer and its treatment. At work, don't volunteer for projects that would make your workload unmanageable.
Ask for help. Ask family, friends, and coworkers for help. People are likely to offer their support, so think about specific tasks you need assistance with in advance, such as help with shopping or picking up a child from school.
Prioritize your tasks. Make a list of the things you have to do, such as work and chores, and rank them in order of importance, considering both things you must do and things that are important to you. If you don't have time to do everything, concentrate on the tasks and activities at the top of your list.
Break down tasks into smaller steps. Break large tasks or problems into smaller steps, and approach the steps one at a time. This process can make seemingly overwhelming problems easier to handle. For example, instead of spending an afternoon cleaning your house, tackle one or two rooms each day.
Concentrate your efforts on things you can control. For instance, the doctor's schedule and traffic are out of your control, even with the best planning. People who can remain flexible keep their stress low. Sometimes the only aspect of a problem you can control is how you react to it.
Get help with financial problems. Ask an oncology social worker or a financial adviser who is familiar with cancer for advice on dealing with cancer-related insurance and financial matters. Do not wait to seek financial help; late bills and debt can quickly become overwhelming if they are not handled properly. Learn more about managing the cost of cancer care.
Stress management strategies
While you can try to reduce the number of stressors in your life, it is not possible to eliminate all stress. However, stress management strategies help you feel more relaxed and less anxious. The following list includes suggestions to help reduce stress:
Get frequent, moderate exercise. Moderate exerciseâsuch as a 30-minute walk, swim, or bike rideâlowers stress when done at least several times a week. Talk with your doctor before starting an exercise regimen (schedule). Learn more about physical activity and cancer.
Schedule social activities. Plan times to socialize with family and friends. Spending time with supportive friends and family is one of the most significant ways to reduce stress.
Eat well, and get plenty of sleep. Maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough rest will give you more energy to deal with daily stressors. Learn more about diet and nutrition and strategies for a better night's sleep.
Join a support group. Support groups offer you the chance to talk about your feelings and fears with others who share and understand your experiences. You can also talk with a trusted friend, a counselor, or a social worker. Learn more about support groups.
Schedule daily leisure time. Spend time doing an activity you find relaxing, such as reading a book, gardening, or listening to music.
Do things you enjoy. Eat at your favorite restaurant, or watch your favorite television show. Laughter reduces stress; see a funny movie or read a humorous book. Learn more about coping with cancer through humor.
Write in a journal. Writing about the stresses and events in your life provides a private way to express your feelings. Learn more about finding comfort through journaling.
Learn a new hobby. Engaging in a new and challenging activity gives you a sense of accomplishment and provides distraction from daily worries. Examples include enrolling in an art class or playing a musical instrument.
Relaxation techniques
The following techniques may help you relax when feeling stressed. These techniques must be learned and practiced to become effective. Most can be learned in a few sessions with a counselor. Many hospitals and cancer centers have classes to teach patients relaxation techniques. Some of these techniques can be learned by following written directions. These techniques can be done daily, as well as at specific stressful times, such as during a medical procedure.
Relaxed or deep breathing. A technique that involves deep, slow breathing while concentrating on filling the lungs and relaxing muscles
Mental imagery or visualization. A technique for creating peaceful and relaxing images in the mind
Progressive muscle relaxation. A technique that involves tightening and then relaxing muscles, starting at either the toes or the head and progressively relaxing all the muscles across the body
Meditation. A technique in which you learn to relax your mind and concentrate on an inner sense of calm
Biofeedback. A technique in which you are taught to relax and control your body's response to stress by paying attention to signals from the body
Yoga. A technique that focuses the mind on breathing and posture to promote relaxation and to reduce fatigue
