NOTE: It has come to the translator's attention that the textual content of some of the original articles sent or posted by Ms Brummund from/in Germany have been altered after the translator received the text translated below. The following text is a translation of the content of the article as it appeared on the date indicated at the end of this translated text, and does not include translation of any alterations that may have been made in the German original since that date. [THIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN GERMANY IN 1984, AND IS REPRODUCED IN ENGLISH TRANSLATION WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. THE ORDERING OF PLANETS HAS BEEN ALTERED TO REFLECT CURRENT USAGE (IN 2001), AND THE TERM "MEDITATION WHEEL" IS INCLUDED IN THE TITLE AT THE REQUEST OF MS BRUMMUND] IN STUDYING THIS ARTICLE, YOU MAY FIND THE MOST BENEFIT BY PRINTING OUT A COPY OF THE MANDALA AT http://www.uranian-institute.org/MandalaMain.htm AND REFERRING TO IT AS YOU PROCEED THROUGH THIS ARTICLE. --------------------------------- Whenever we need to make a character assessment, the question arises of how this can best be done. There are several ways to do so. One of these is a method introduced both in the Brummund Rulebook and in the Brummund Technique Book, and following is an elaboration on the method referred to as the Uranian Mandala. One of the premises this method rests on is that the relational points of Aries point, MC, Ascendant, and the Lunar Node are not enumerated as active factors since, as mathematical points, they do not emit energies (in the way that planets do). By means of a systematic survey we should be able to derive a comprehensive character assessment of an individual. Below, to the right, we see a chart of how the planetary energies are categorized, in the format and order used in 1984. In practically every case, a traditional planet is paired with a Transneptunian, with the exceptions of Mercury and Jupiter, which are paired together. In other words, each sector contains two factors. The horizontal rows indicate different levels or degrees of consciousness; these include the 1) Subconscious, 2) Conscious, and 3) Superconscious levels of personal actions and personal reactions to life situations. In the vertical columns A and C we see the polarized fields of Extroversion and Introversion, which are bridged by the factors in column B, entitled Synthesis. It is through Synthesis that new conditions are created from the reciprocal energies of the outer columns.
Now, we will proceed to look at each individual sector and the personality functions associated with its planetary energies: 1.A (MA.ZE): Out of the subconscious arises the preservation instinct, especially when we find ourselves in danger. It is here that Mars goes into action. With Zeus, we react spontaneously in a direction dictated by our compulsions. There is thus little straying or consideration involved. Such impulses underlie animal instincts and strength and are carried out with willpower, in order to save ourselves or survive. The creative side of Zeus may manifest as intuitive artistic creativity. When a sculptor finds himself in front of a stone or a wood block and begins to chisel, he often has a decided concept of what he intends to create. Thus, the artist leaves himself to his subconscious in the creative process. He produces a work that is made with consideration of external effect, grounded in extroverted drives. 1.C (SA.AD): Due to the introverted nature of the basic grounding of Saturn and Admetos, boundaries are set. These can in some cases lead to inhibitions or delays which create problems. 1.B (NE.HA): In the process of synthesizing the just-mentioned polarities, Neptune and Hades can reduce the excesses of the MA.ZE energies, and also soften the hardness and inflexibility of SA and AD. However, if we are functioning at a low level of awareness, we can manipulate ourselves into unpleasant circumstances. Due to lack of energy, or even depravity, we can resign to hopelessness or indulge in self-destructive behavior. More objectively, Neptune and Hades arise from the subconscious metaphysical realm, and both are cloaked in the mysteries of the images in our dreams, which we seek to interpret with our conscious knowledge. This can help us to recognize potential dangers by clarifying and objectifying our deeper feelings and intentions. 2.A (SU.KR): On a conscious level we live daily and hourly and assume this as a foregone conclusion. The Sun, as the source of vitality, lends us the power to fulfill our duties. This is further reinforced by connections with Kronos, which lends self-confidence and openness to the outside world. Self-assurance about our own strength and power should not however, due to overaccentuated extroversion, lead to arrogance. With this sector accentuated, an individual would have a strong animus and tend to be dominant. [ NOTE THAN IN THE ORIGINAL 1984 CHART, EXTROVERSION APPEARED ON THE LEFT AND INTROVERSION ON THE RIGHT. THIS WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED AND THE MANDALA WHEEL BELOW ILLUSTRATES THE FORMAT AS USED IN WORK WITH THE MANDALA IN 2001. ]
2.C (MO.AP): This is the sector of the Animus, symbolized by the Moon and Apollon. A fulfilling emotional life will be experienced through serenity and evenness of temperament. With this sector accentuated, people radiate warmth of heart, peacefulness, and contentment. 2.B (VE.CU): The union of masculine and feminine, willpower and emotion, leads to a love of communion, represented by Venus and Cupido. This sector provides a link between preponderance (SU.KR) and sensitivity (MO.AP), leading to a balance. Venus and Cupido lend the ability to recognize which and how much action is needed, and when emotional commitment is needed to bring about harmony. In both collective life and in love, self-sacrifice is an art by means of which we attain our desires. 3.A (UR.VU): In the philosophical dictionary of Schmidt and Schischkoff we read: "The Superconscious is a subjective and spontaneous, yet remarkably comprehensive understanding which results when objective acts and activities leave strong impressions in our minds that reverberate throughout our spirit and psyche. We thereby have a 'superconscious' awareness of these events". Here we are dealing with ideals or drives in our minds when we make efforts toward personal development and evolution. The tension-laden compulsions of Uranus and Vulkanus are similar in nature to the crackling atmosphere of electrical currents. When seeking to reach an objective unconditionally, we intuitively set all our energy toward emulating a certain ideal. Who among us has not experienced that if we want to attain something or to reach an extraordinary goal, a length of time is often required? Yet we know of friends who have already manifest their objectives. No more delay is needed. Our objectives need to be put into action without hesitation. The immediate plan of action may not be clear, since the motivation comes from the superconscious. In a way, we already have what we desire. These energies drive us to have what we want right now. 3.C (ME.JU): Considering intellect as the polar opposite of activity, we come once again to the Introversion sectors. Positive and constructive thinking, which is represented by Mercury and Jupiter, allows the just and good to prevail. We deliberate, analyze, consider information, and formulate opinions. Inwardly we wait to fulfill our plans when the time is right. 3.B (PL.PO): Pluto and Poseidon indicate a synthesis of planning and execution of objectives based on motives of spiritual essence. The good sense of the intellect coupled with inspiration and the drive to evolve motivate us to strive for further understanding. Now, to discuss the interrelationship of the vertical columns: A: We begin with Extroversion, which is perceptible primarily though our manifest activities at the three levels of consciousness. At the Unconscious level, we react intuitively and create what manifests consciously in certain ways, and this process bolsters our self-reliance. After the required awareness of this, our full power is exerted toward reaching what is needed for attaining what we have long desired. Positive recognition from others is demonstrated when efforts are made with goodwill. C: In the Introversion sectors, unconscious energies manifest in the form of seriousness (SA.AD). This implies a certain heaviness or narrowness of outlook which can sometimes lead to overload or even depressions (SA.AD). For fulfillment of our emotional needs (MO.AP), we need to cultivate positive thinking (ME.JU). Reasonable thinking and beneficial conversations (ME.JU) lead to self-evaluation and, in turn, inner peace and satisfaction (MO.AP). B: In the Synthesis sectors, Neptune and Hades function unconsciously, and if we are to succeed in carrying something out with intuitive perceptiveness, we must become conscious of our inner limitations (NE.HA). Anxieties and self-doubt (NE.HA) can be overcome if we incorporate the spiritual and mystical component of the subconscious (NE.HA). In fuller consciousness (PL.PO), self-esteem comes to us through the harmony (VE.CU) we derive from recognizing and dealing with the more objective realities hiding behind our periodic anxieties (NE.HA); and this in turn leads us to the path of self-realization (PL.PO). We have considered the relationships within the horizontal rows and vertical columns, and now we will look at the diagonal patterns. Where the introverted nature of Saturn and Admetos (found in the Subconscious sectors) is emphasized, we might saddle ourselves with self-limitations; whereas the spontaneous reactions of Uranus and Vulkanus in the Superconscious require vigor. In striving for our ideals, Saturn and Admetos might block us, or confine us to pre-defined limits and definitions. Where we might otherwise degenerate into overestimation of our abilities (UR.VU), the humility of Venus and Cupido can be relied upon in order to restore a balanced perspective. The Mars-Zeus combination links subconscious impulses which, when balanced by intelligence and reason (ME.JU), can yield artistic manifestations (VE.CU). The creativity contained within the original developmental potential can manifest, in fact, in any given area. This applies to authors and composers, as well as to painters and research analysts. Any one of them would find it advantageous to apply fairness and truthfulness to help them reach their objectives. The love of communion unites us in carrying out our work with pleasure, and for the common good of everyone. Now we have addressed all the linear relationships between the sectors. There are altogether nine of them included within the whole circle. They are demarcated by dashed lines, indicating that, rather than being sharply separated from each other, the sectors are interrelated, and various combinations of any given factors are possible. The overall circular format should assist us in meditating on the holistic nature of an individual, and to recognize her or his proclivities. It is also important to determine how the individual's shadow functions might manifest and ultimately transform. According to the tenets of C G Jung, those sublimated components of the personality which are not experienced consciously may manifest in unconscious behavior patterns or in antagonism. Thus they can yield both negative and positive results. -- Hamburg, 1984 -- translated and published in English, 2001 TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: As Ms Brummund mentioned in another article, the Mandala was inspired by the Astrological Amphora of Louise and Bruno Huber, who worked with Transpersonal psychologist Roberto Assagioli.

'Alonso should retire from F1'
Vandoorne is readyEven though Stoffel Vandoorne only got the call to replace Fernando Alonso in the Bahrain Grand Prix yesterday, Vandoorne believes he is ready for the challenge.Sky Sports
Bahrain Grand Prix: F1 previewA look ahead to the second Grand Prix in the F1 calendar. Ferrari have won in Bahrain four times, twice more than Red Bull, Renault or Mercedes.Press Association
Lewis of Arabia!Lewis Hamilton arrives for the Bahrain Grand Prix in local attire.Sky Sports
The two-time world champion was stopped from competing in the desert race as the chest injuries he suffered during his horrific crash at the season-opening Australian GP had not sufficiently healed.
Herbert feels the accident was another sign of Alonso's abilities deteriorating.
"I don't think Fernando should come back," Herbert said. "The reason why I say that with the Fernando at the top of his game, and the last time we saw that was probably in 2011-12 at Ferrari, you could always sense there was a real urgency, particularly in his qualifying laps, he was right on the edge.
"I know things have changed as far as the cars are concerned, but as far as performance is concerned we haven't seen this two-time world champion that everyone says is the best. I don't see it. And we haven't seen domination at McLaren and Jenson [Button] has done a better job.
"He's commented that he'd be happy to leave F1 with two world championships - that is a man who has not just given up the chance of winning another, but that effectively is giving up on racing."
Herbert was amazed that Alonso did not fight harder to drive in Bahrain after the doctors declared him unfit.
"He doesn't like these new cars which is another reason for him to quit," the Sky Sports F1 pundit said.
"He had the incident in Barcelona and he didn't go racing, but when a driver has an accident usually they want to get back in the car - when I crashed I told everyone I wanted to get back in the car. But even with his crash in Australia we still didn't get that.
"If it was a race-winning car and possibly there was a world championship at stake I think he would be in the car. You always find a way, just like Niki Lauda did after his burns in 1976.
"He seems to be out of motivation and all these elements add to the performances you don't expect of a two-time world champion.
"We don't see that passion from him to want to drive and push himself to the limit when he is in an F1 car. That is another part of his armour that seems to be lacking at the minute.
"He still has a good racing brain and knows where to put the car, but he doesn't have the pace.
"The mistake we saw in Australia was an error on his side. One incident that flashes before my mind is how similar it was to the Michael Schumacher-Jean-Eric Vergne incident in Singapore.
"I know personally you get to a certain point in your career and you start to go downhill. You can be at the top of your game for a long time, but there will be a drop off.
"The things he says, the things that have happened on track, his qualifying pace, and that error in Australia, to me they say it is time for him to hang up his helmet."

Thu, June 28, 2012 | SS'2013 Fashion Collection // Minki Cheng |
This collection tells a story about human surviving the arrival of the doomsday. It is inspired by the idea of human body kits protecting human from being harmed by the disasters caused by the tragedy. The collection is developed by looking into the abilities living things in the nature possess to protect themselves. |
In comparison, humans are relatively vulnerable. Sportswear has come to be another important part of the research, as it contains many elements of protection and enhancement to physical performance. The research into living things provides the collection with rich, fascinating colours and textures, while the sportswear provides details, cutting lines and silhouettes. The 'plastic fur' has become the key element of the collection, as it symbolises the fundamental function of fur – to keep warm, as well as the idea of protection as plastic is a strong material that can protect us from physical harm.

The love of a faithful pet really is one of the greatest gifts we could ask for, but unfortunately some people don't seem to know how to love them back.
These incredibly cute cats and dogs were all neglected and living in animal shelters after being rejected by their owners and things weren't looking good for them.
Some had been abused and neglected, while others had been starved and horribly mistreated.
It's difficult to fathom how anyone could treat an animal like that, especially when we know all they want is to love and be loved.
This time of year can be especially busy for animal shelters as hundreds of people around the country take home and then eventually return animals they're not ready to properly care for.
It's a sad sight to see so many dogs and cats returned to the shelters they came from after thinking they'd finally found a home.
To break up the bad news though, and prove there are people out there who are willing to love and care for animals, this beautiful video has shown the amazing transformation of pooches and cats before and after they left the shelter and it's enough to bring a tear to your eye!
They all go from sad and scared looking animals to happy and smiling pets beloved by their new owners and it really is a joy to see.
The video has drawn some powerful responses from animal lovers.
"Tears of joy for those beautiful babies that were adopted. Oh how I wish there would be no more need for shelters. That every animal would have a loving home. And how I wish that all the monsters who abuse animals would be behind bars and tortured the same as they did do the animals!" wrote one commenter.
Take a look and tell us how it makes you feel!
Do you love animals? Would ever ever rescue one from an animal shelter? Do we need harsher punishment for animal abusers?

He just loves his smoochies, hugs, cuddles, & especially being brushed!There's something mentally wrong with humans' who mistreat ANY animal, & if I had my way, they'd be gaoled for a very long time!

To all the worldâin Fort Worth
- June 23, 2010
- By Administrator
Shedding my shoes at the door I enter the small, simple room greeted by a wide, toothy grin. "Welcome," says the elderly Iraqi man, proudly using one of about 10 English words now in his vocabulary.
As I am seated, I accept the boiling tea that burns my lips and fingers through the tiny glass cup. Although it is 104 degrees outside and I am already sweating, it would be unkind to refuse the gesture of friendship. After all, the reason I am here is to build relationships that will be bridges between this Muslim family and the gospel of Jesus that I am here to share.
Sharing hot tea, doma (rice-filled grape leaves), and giving English-as-a-Second-Language lessons all are part of bridging the gap. God's gift of salvation is for all nations.
Working alongside the staff of the nonprofit refugee aid organization World Relief, I am ministering to physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of these friends who are scared, hurting and struggling to learn a new way of life far from what was once called home.
As a volunteer for World Relief, I have the most blessed job because I am free to spend time sitting with and befriending refugees when the overworked staff is busy with many difficult case loads and government-mandated tasks and services. Of course, the best part is working together as one body of Christ with a common goal that all nations would worship the one true God.
This is the everyday mission for all Christians, and I just thank God now for this unique experience to participate in a focused time of service through Go Now Missions.
Michelle Campbell, a student at West Texas A&M University, is serving World Relief in Fort Worth as an Impact missionary through Go Now Missions.

About the inspect issue everyone is having...
Turns out it's happening because of addons that try to talk to the server to get information like TipTac and Gearscore.
I heard Blizzard stopped it because it was flooding the servers. Not sure if they'll ever fix it or not... I sure hope so.

Other thing: How can I hide party frame while in raid?
Go to Groups then Current group = Party C
Go to the Filtering tab and check off what you want
This is with v15 so it may not be named Party C, but it's in that location.

Hey Caith!
I'm still using an older version of your UI and I've got almost every addon up-to-date for 4.0.1, but I was wondering if you or anyone here could help me with a kgpanels problem.

If you updated Quartz using WoWMatrix or the Curse Client it gets rid of everything Caith did to it.
Do not try to update Pitbull either. Doing so will get rid of all Caith's DogTags.

Surinamese culture is very diverse and dynamic, and has a strong Asian and African influences. The population is composed of the contribution of people from the Netherlands, India, Africa, China and Indonesia, as well as indigenous peoples who lived in the area, before the arrival of European settlers. About 90% of people established in Suriname have ancestors who come from other countries and regions.
Cultural events[edit]
- New Year's Eve
- Holi-Phagwa
- Easter
- Labour Day
- Indian Arrival Day
- Keti Koti
- Javanese Arrival Day
- Indigenous People's Day
- Day of the Maroons
- Chinese Arrival Day
- Independence Day
- Christmas
Suriname is a South American country, a former colony of the Netherlands with strong ties to that country. The country is well known for its kaseko music, and has an Indo-Caribbean tradition.
The kaseko probably derived from the expression "casser le corps" (rest body), that was used during slavery to describe a very fast dance. Kaseko is a fusion of many styles and folklore from Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It is rhythmically complex percussion instruments including skratji (big drum) and trap drums, and saxophone, trumpet, and trombone occasionally. May be sung solo or in chorus. The songs are typically structured to say and answer, as are the styles of the natives of the area, as winti and kawina.
The Kaseko evolved in the thirties during festivities that used large bands, particularly bands of winds, and were called Bigi Pokoe (big drum music). Following World War II, jazz, calypso, and other important genres became popular, while the rock music of the United States soon left its own influence in the form of electric instruments.
Surinamese cuisine is extensive, since the population of Suriname came from many countries. Surinamese cuisine is a combination of many international cuisines including East Indian, African, Javanese (Indonesia), Chinese, Dutch, Jewish, Portuguese, and Amerindian cuisines.
The above has ensured that Surinamese cooking has spawned many dishes; the different groups were influenced by each other's dishes and ingredients; this new Surinamese cuisine included roti, nasi goreng, bakmi, pom, snesi foroe, moksi meti, and losi foroe; because of this blending of many cultures, Surinamese cuisine is a unique creation. Basic foods include rice, plants such as tayer and cassava, and roti. Usually, there is chicken on the menu in many variations of the Chinese snesi foroe, the Indian chicken masala and pom, a very popular party dish of Creole origin. Also, salted meat and stockfish (bakkeljauw) are widely used. Yardlong beans, okra, and eggplant are examples of vegetables in the Surinamese kitchen. For a spicy taste, Madame Jeanette peppers are used.
Besides the casserole pom, roti (often served with a filling of chicken masala, potato and vegetables) is also often served on festive occasions with many guests. Other well known dishes are moksi-alesi (mixed boiled rice with salted meat, shrimp or fish, and any vegetable), rice and beans and the original Javanese nasi goreng and mie goreng.
- Christianity: 48.4%
- Hinduism: 22.3%

The houseguests were never all asleep at once, so I will pick up from 5 am.
Eric and Jessica cuddle up in the HOH room chit chatting about everything from Jessica's fear of Zach winning HOH and nominating her (how prophetic of her) to her "aladdin" pants. Eric says he is going to fly straight to Witchita as soon as the show ends, and then he basically asks her to go steady. They start making out, and it goes on, and on, and on, and ON.
Eric and Jessica go to sleep around 7:30. At 9:00, there are no conscious houseguests, and we get trivia. BB wakes them up to clean at 9:45.
The houseguests work on their usual Thursday housecleaning complete with the usual Thursday bitchfest over who does the most (or the least) work. BB calls the HOH lockdown at 1:30 PM.
Dick flat out asks Zach if he should send him home since he can't seem to get his stories straight. Zach pretends to not know why Dick is mad, and, oddly enough, the arguement blows over. Most of the houseguests go to sleep, and the rest just stare into space.
The lockdown ends, and everyone but Eric and Jessica leave the HOH to resume cleaning. After Amber cleans, she is seen in bed crying (surprise). Jessica comes in and basically tells her that she will be going home and that she tried all she could to save her. (Er, not so much, Jess.)
Zach and Eric pow-wow and Eric tells him that he has his vote to stay. Zach throws Dick under the bus a bit and claims that he is saying things that aren't true.
Everyone is still getting ready for the live show/cleaning/packing or unpacking. Amber gives us a little full frontal goodbye peep show while she's dressing. (Maybe that is her audition tape for America's Next Top Model.) The others wonder aloud what the HOH comp will be, and Eric and Jessica talk about poop for awhile.
The house is very quiet. Everyone is mostly getting ready, nappying, or cleaning.
The feeds go to trivia and do not return until after the show.
Julie welcomes us after the recap and the recap of the recap, and the show begins! We learn from Jameka's pastor that she is a great example for all Christians, and we learn from Eric's ex-girlfriend that he is definitely single. (Glad we cleared all that up; thanks BB.) We get the classic misdirection done BB style with clips of the marathon "good people rock, Eric = the devil" campaign that Jameka and Amber waged for Jessica. Oh dear, is Zach a goner!? The votes are in and, as expected, Amber is history with a 3-1 vote. (Jameka, of course, was the 1.) Amber cries FAR less than is expected, and she even drops the model bomb with Julie who tactfully ignores it (and stunningly doesn't even crack a smile). After Amber is sent off to sequester to farther bond with Dustin and Jen(?), its out to the backyard for the HOH competition. It is a new one(!!!!) in which the houseguests must fill up giant fishbowls with "tea". They must carry the "tea" from a teapot to the fishbowl using nothing but a teacup and walking over a slip-n-slide-esque contraption. Julie tells us that they will essentially need to walk over 7 miles to get it done, and she speculates it could take all night. They get a little extra goop splattered on them for good measure, and its back to Julie's marketing. We're reminded to vote for Eric to get someone nominated, encouraged to order our feeds to see how the HOH plays out, and told that Janelle from BB6 and BB7 will be hosting the Power of Veto competition on Tuesday (er, Saturday, for those of us who keep up with that sort of thing.) Then, we're off until Sunday.
The feeds return with HOH in full swing. Everyone is still involved, and going strong. It appears that Daniele and Zach have an early lead. Eric keeps slipping and falling, Daniele and Zach are both barefoot, and Dick is trying REALLY hard but not getting anywhere very fast (at first). Daniele insists that it is going to take forever. Jessica and Jameka have already lost interest. BB randomly sprays more goop at them as the competition goes on. Other than frustrated exclamations, there is very little talking. By 6:20, Zach is pretty clearly winning with Daniele close behind him followed by Dick with Eric bringing up the rear. (It is hard to tell if he is trying to win or trying to throw it. Whatever his intentions, he did it badly.) Jessica is concerned that Eric is going to kill himself because he keeps falling.
Zach is still in the lead, but Dick has taken over 2nd place. Eric and Daniele look as if they really have no hope of winning. We get tunnel vision for awhile, and when we return they all have beakers and extra cups. (So much for Julie's promise of an all-nighter.) By 7:50, Zach is trying to get his ball out of the water, but it isn't quite high enough. It is VERY clear that he will be the winner.
Zach wins HOH. Dick and Daniele seem thrilled, and Jessica looks a bit as if she would like to throw up. There is discussion of the fact that there will be no hot water in the house for 8 days, and that Eric gave Jessica a phone call. (Speculation is that the houseguests bartered for extra cups, etc.) Eric is in a lot of pain (or so he says) from falling down and hurting his back. Everyone heads inside to shower. There is lots of talk about the competition as usual, and Jameka and Daniele wonder if there will be a food competition and if they will be on slop for the week. Jessica chats with Jameka in the big room and says that she hopes Dick and Daniele will be nominated. She tears up when they discuss Eric giving her the phone call. She wishes that he'd kept it for himself. Daniele wonders if Zach will get glowsticks in his HOH basket. Zach offers Daniele and Jameka a place to stay after the show is over.
Eric asks who Jessica wants to talk to for her phone call. She says her brother, but she isn't sure if she can because he is deployed in Iraq. (Ed. Jessica doesn't know, but her brother is home, safe and sound.) If she can't talk to him, she wants to talk to her mom. In another instance of the weird knack that BB houseguests have for bringing up people in the news, Daniele wants Owen Wilson to visit the house and bring their "Christmas presents." There is a lot of chit chat about the competition, the phone call, and dinner preparations. Daniele takes the first cold shower and tells BB that she hates them/it.
The houseguests wonder (again) if they will close down a bedroom this year. (Ed. If I recall correctly, they have never completely closed down any bedroom in the 'new' house.) They decide that POV will be a question competition since they are so tired from the HOH competition. Jessica is worried that Dick and Eric have really hurt themselves. Dick tells Daniele that Zach wants to get Eric out. He wants them to use the POV if they win to make sure that Eric goes up. (There have been no blatant discussions about nominations, but that would hint at a Jessica/Jameka original nomination with an intended target of Eric.) Eric joins and he and Daniele discuss their belief that Zach is in love with Nick. They make fun of the people in sequester and Daniele jokes, "Dustin, Amber and Jen! What a fun house!"
Zach gets his HOH room. The only item mentioned specifically is Zach's mom's first book, " An Angel In Flight." Daniele suddenly becomes Zach's best friend and tries to tell him that Jameka hates him. He turns the tables and talks about Dick's negative style of gameplay, and she tries to distance herself from it saying, "Hello, I'm his daughter and look at how he treats ME!" Zach swears that he will not put up Daniele because she is his biggest ally in the house. He wants security from Dick and Daniele for the following week. Zach seems to want to rid himself of Dick because of his attitude, but he wants to get rid of Jameka because he doesn't think he can beat her in the final two. He tells Daniele that he is for sure putting up Jessica and Jameka. Daniele tells him not to try to backdoor anyone since everyone plays for veto.
Eric and Jessica are talking downstairs. Eric thinks that he let Jessica down. He is sure that Jameka will go up. Jessica is sure she will go up as well, because Zach told her "what goes around comes around." She asks why he gave her the phone call, and he tells her that it is because he wanted her to know that her brother was ok.
Zach says that he doesn't trust Eric, but he would be glad to go to the end with Dick or Daniele. He thinks that 2nd place is enough, but he would like to win. He won't put Jessica and Eric against each other because they would definitely come after him. There is a lot of Eric bashing between Daniele and Zach. They still decide that the main goal is to get rid of Jameka.
Downstairs, Jessica and Eric talk about the competition and flirt some more. Jessica says that it is the first time in the game that she doesn't feel safe.
Eric promises her that she will not leave this week. She says that she doesn't want to go to sequester because she doesn't like the people that are there.
Zach goes downstairs and Dick works him in the hot tub. Zach looks for assurances from Dick for the next week. Dick agrees that if Zach doesn't nominate him or Daniele this week, he is safe the following week.
Lots of idle chit chat around, mostly about the competition. Dick and Zach wonder if Amber will cry on housecalls (um, DUH) and say that they are happy to have gotten the opportunity to play BB. Everyone joins them, and they talk and play for awhile.
Dick spills all to Jessica, and tells her that she will likely go up this week but he wasn't sure who she would be against. He tells her that he made the deal with Zach, but makes a gesture to suggest that he was lying. Jessica goes inside to bed, and Daniele talks with Dick. She wants to push the Jessica/Eric nomination to keep her hands clean. She also wants Dick to be nice to Zach since he thinks she is his biggest ally. She would like to be next to him in the final two because she thinks she can beat him more easily than Jessica or Eric.
Dick, Eric, and Jessica discuss POVE strategy. Dick says that if they are both nominated or if Jessica is nominated he will try to throw the POV to one of them or at least take out Jameka. Dick leaves, and Eric and Jessica decide they should stage a fight.
Most of the house is quiet. Jessica and Eric kiss in bed, Daniele and Jameka make small talk in the backyard, and Dick spits. They speculate some more on the upcoming competitions for the week.
Most everyone is in bed. Dick talks to himself and thinks that Daniele lost her game when she heard about the phonecall. He continues to make chit chat with himself. He talks about throwing HOH next time to Eric or Jessica to rid them all of Zach so that he doesn't have to do it. He goes to bed at 5:05 AM.

Anyone know what's up with the access to Ashes Lake? It's been a while since I was last there but it looks like someone might be living there.
The boat ramp is closed to the public. The guy that is living on that property has permission from the land ownwers. There is access to Ashes Lake from the Columbia River. There is a culvert that connects the two. I have not found a place where I could launch my pontoon on the Columbia that is close enough for me to access the culvert. I did, however, find a walking trail that will take you to the west side of the lake. If you could get your yak to the waters edge, you could launch from there. I am considering bringing along some pruning sheers and making the path a little larger so I can carry my pontoon in. I believe that side of the lake is county property. Hope this helps. Regards Shawn
the large fish should have vacated the lake by now. time ti target them on the main river. by mid Aug. the top water bite should be good.

Lung cancer screening
Lung cancer screening refers to cancer screening strategies used to identify early lung cancers before they cause symptoms, at a point where they are more likely to be curable. Screening studies for lung cancer have only been done in high risk populations, such as smokers and workers with occupational exposure to certain substances. Results from large randomized studies have recently prompted medical authorities to reverse their previous position and now recommend lung cancer screening in select populations.
For individuals with high risk of developing lung cancer, computed tomography (CT) screening can detect cancer and give a person options to respond to it in a way that prolongs life.[1] This form of screening reduces the chance of death from lung cancer by an absolute amount of 0.3% (relative amount of 20%).[2][3] High risk people are those age 55–74 who have smoked a pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years including time within the past 15 years.[1]
CT screening is associated with a high rate of falsely positive tests which may result in unneeded treatment.[4] For each true positive scan there are more than 19 falsely positives scans.[5] Other concerns include radiation exposure[4] and the cost of testing along with the follow up of tests.[1] Research has not found two other clinically available tests – sputum cytology or chest radiograph (CXR) screening tests — to have any benefit.[6][needs update]
Screening studies for lung cancer have only been done in high risk populations, such as smokers and workers with occupational exposure to certain substances. In the 2010s recommendations by medical authorities are turning in favour of lung cancer screening, which is likely to become more widely available in the advanced economies. In December 2013 the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) changed its long-standing recommendation that there is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening for lung cancer to the following: "The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography in adults ages 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. These recommendations were used by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to produce patient and clinician resources to support informed decision making for lung cancer screening. Screening should be discontinued once a person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or the ability or willingness to have curative lung surgery".[7] Another U.S. guideline recommendation is very similar, but with a cut-off at age 74.[1] The English National Health Service was in 2014 re-examining the evidence for screening.[8]
Risks of Screening[edit]
CT screening is associated with a high rate of falsely positive tests which may result in unneeded treatment.[1] For each true positive scan there are more than 19 falsely positives scans.[5] Other concerns include radiation exposure and the cost of testing along with the follow up of tests.[1] False reassurance from false negative findings, overdiagnosis, short term anxiety/distress, and increased rate of incidental findings are other risks.[9] Radiation exposure from repeated screening studies could actually induce cancer formation in a small percentage of screened subjects, so this risk should be mitigated by a (relatively) high prevalence of lung cancer in the population being screened.[1]
Research has not found two other clinically available tests – sputum cytology or chest radiograph (CXR) screening tests — to have any benefit.[6] However, there is scientific evidence that lung cancer may be detectable in the breath of patients.[10]
The National Lung Screening Trial was a United States-based clinical trial which recruited research participants between 2002–2004.[11] It was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network and the Lung Screening Study Group.[11] The major research in the trial was to compare the efficacy of low-dose helical computed tomography (CT screening) and standard chest X-ray as methods of lung cancer screening.[12]
In 2011 the National Lung Screening Trial found that CT screening offers benefits over other screenings.[13] This study was recognized for providing supporting evidence for using CR screening to screen for lung cancer and for encouraging others to reflect on the merits and drawbacks of other types of screening.[4] Research has not shown that two other available tests – sputum cytology or chest radiograph (CXR) screening tests — have any benefit.[6]
The trial led to a recommendation in the United States that CT screening be used on people at high risk for developing lung cancer in an effort to detect the cancer earlier and reduce mortality.[4]
Other CT studies[edit]
The International Early Lung Cancer Action Project (I-ELCAP) published the results of CT screening on over 31,000 high-risk patients in late 2006 in the New England Journal of Medicine.[14] In this study, 85% of the 484 detected lung cancers were stage I and thus highly treatable. Historically, such stage I patients would have an expected 10-year survival of 88%. Critics of the I-ELCAP study point out that there was no randomization of patients (all received CT scans and there was no comparison group receiving only chest x-rays) and the patients were not actually followed out to 10 years post detection (the median followup was 40 months). Regardless of these shortcomings, it is generally recognized that the prognosis of lung cancer decreases dramatically when the disease is in late stage,[15][16] and that CT screening for lung cancer allows detection of lung cancer during its earliest, most curable stage. CT screening for lung cancer has already been extensively compared to chest x-ray screening in Japan. Among over 6,800 subjects screened in Japan, 67% to 73% of CT-detected lung cancers were missed by chest x-ray, the same test used in the comparison group of some randomized controlled trials of lung cancer screening.[17][18][19]
In contrast, a March 2007 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found no mortality benefit from CT-based lung cancer screening.[20] 3,200 current or former smokers were screened for 4 years and offered 3 or 4 CT scans. Lung cancer diagnoses were 3 times as high, and surgeries were 10 times as high, as predicted by a model, but there were no significant differences between observed and expected numbers of advanced cancers or deaths.[21] Additional controversy arose after a 2008 New York Times reported that the 2006, pro-CT scan study in the New England Journal of Medicine had been funded indirectly by the parent company of the Liggett Group, a tobacco company.[22]
Other clinically established testing methods not found to show benefit[edit]
Lung cancer screening programs that utilize plain chest X-rays (CXR) and sputum analysis programs have generally not been found effective in reducing mortality from lung cancer.[23][needs update] The Mayo Lung Project followed over 9000 male smokers over 45 years of age who smoked one or more packs a day from 1971 to 1986 and compared intensive CXR and sputum screening every three times per year compared to less frequent annual screening. The results showed that more frequent screening resulted in higher resectability rate (more early-stage detection), but made no difference in mortality from lung cancer. CXR screening were found to detect 6 times as many new cancers as sputum tests.[24]
Studies have explored other means of testing including breath tests and blood test to detect for lung cancer. While there is scientific evidence that lung cancer is detectable with high sensitivity and more than 90% specificity in the human breath, no screening test has been clinically validated to be useful to be applied in screening.[25][26][27]
Developing guidelines[edit]
Clinical practice guidelines previously issued by the American College of Chest Physicians in 2007 recommended against routine screening for lung cancer because of a lack of evidence that such screening was effective.[28] The newest ACCP guidelines take into account findings from the National Lung Screening Trial and state: "For smokers and former smokers who are age 55 to 74 and who have smoked for 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years, we suggest that annual screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) should be offered over both annual screening with CXR or no screening, but only in settings that can deliver the comprehensive care provided to National Lung Screening Trial participants (Grade 2B)".[29]
Following the National Cancer Institute's National Lung Screening Trial, guidelines were released initially in 2012 by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of twenty one cancer centers in the United States. Their consensus guidelines, which are regularly updated, support screening as a process, not a single test, and discuss risks and benefits of screening in high risk individuals within a comprehensive multidisciplinary program. Screening is only recommended for individuals defined as high risk meeting specific criteria. More details can be found in their patient guidelines.[30] While lung cancer screening programs have been supported by the NCCN,[31] International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC),[32] American Cancer Society,[33] The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO),[34] and other organizations, the costs of screening may not be covered by medical insurance policies.[citation needed]

Wonderfully FITness & Spinning(R) Instructor I can show you better than I can tell you!
Training since: 2012
Specialties: Women-focused, Aerobics, Weight Loss
I've struggled with obesity during my childhood and lost 100 pounds at the age of 22. By the age of 28, I gained most of it back. As I worked to lose the weight again, I struggled with so many barriers. Today, at the age of 33, I'm an Aerobics Instructor and Wellness Coach. My goal is to inspire individuals to pursue a healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Put away with the body shaming, victimization, self-loathing, and complacency of living in your comfort zone. Nothing changes unless you do! I want people to know that health is not about how you look but how you feel. Change your mind, change your life!

The crashed into the off-duty Q12 bus at the intersection of Northern Boulevard and Prince Street in Flushing at about 10:15 p.m., police said, after the van's driver made an illegal right turn that likely caused the accident.
The city bus was off duty and empty, but eight passengers who were on the van were taken to New York Hospital Queens in Flushing and treated for minor injuries. The van and bus drivers were also hospitalized and in stable condition as of Saturday morning, officials said.
No charges or tickets have been issued in connection with the crash.
