Unprotected stained glass will be soaked by the elements, buffeted and eroded by sand blasting winds, attacked by corrosive air pollution that destroys the artistic detail, transparency and vibrancy of coloured glass. Left unchecked the growth of molds and algae will cause organic damage. microorganisms will create organic acids that attack the stained glass, oxidise the lead and metal frames and rot wooden frames. Moisture within a building will facilitate the deterioration of the interior painted surface of stained glass due to the action of condensation on the glass.

The New York Giants weren't simply an underdog. They were, to use the parlance of Plato, the Form of the Underdog. They were up against a team whose record was unblemished-- practically unchallanged-- and whose seemingly inevitable victory in last night's Superbowl was unquestioned. The Patriots were "perfect." They were "historic." In one of the pre-game montages, Russel Crowe (yes, the "gladiator") narrated a short reflection on the meaning of perfection. Pictures of the Patriots were interspersed with the Sistine Chapel, the Mona Lisa, Einstein, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Crowe even began his little diatribe by referencing Aristotle's idea of perfection. (The montage itself may have actually constituted "perfect" hyperbole.) We were all but promised that we would witness perfection realized last night.
Then, the Patriots lost.
I really can't capture in words how happy this makes me. I've said for a long time that football was the one professional game that seemed to still maintain what is good and pure about sport. Even if there were players who weren't exactly good and pure, their individual character flaws had not really changed the game (as happened in baseball and basketball, I think). "Any given Sunday..." as they say. I was this close to being soured by football last night. But the Giants, who looked so very un-giant before the game began, confirmed what those of us who have spent our years and tears loving the game always believed about it. That is, what matters is The Game at hand. The Game always equalizes the teams at the beginning, zero-zero. You can bring your schedule and your repuatation and all the hype about you to the game, but all those things have to be left in the locker room, because they don't count in The Game. Whoever plays the best and scores the most points wins The Game. And whoever wins The Game, that day, is the best.
As it turns out, the game last night was historic, though not in the way everyone expected. I'm glad I resisted everything pessimistic and jaded in me that told me not to watch the game. It was beautiful.

Process Overview
Section | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table describes the periodic report process in detail:
Step | Process step by step |
1. | At the end of the project period, the coordinator receives an email from the Project Officer (PO) inviting him or her to upload costs for the period along with all required documentation. The coordinator must notify the other beneficiaries that they must also enter costs in the same way. |
2. | The coordinator and the beneficiaries access the NEF application through the Participant Portal and submit the requested information. Financial Statements are based on C forms and have to be (so as the CFS if needed) uploaded by the beneficiaries themselves. |
3. | The coordinator reviews the input by beneficiaries. When the coordinator believes that the set of reports is complete, he/she submits the reports to the Project Officer (PO) using the NEF application. |
4. | The PO is notified by email of the submission by the coordinator and reviews the reports. The PO assesses the report and may either approve or reject the periodic reports. |
5. | The coordinator receives an email signalling either the approval or the rejection by the PO. If the submission is approved, the payment processing is started by the Commission services. NOTE: Approval by the PO means that the PO believes that periodic reports are sufficient to proceed with a payment. It does not mean that the PO has approved all costs. If the submission is rejected, the coordinator is invited via the NEF application (by a similar email as for the launch of the process) to provide the requested information (possibly with the participation of other beneficiaries). |
6. | Each such iteration between the Consortium and the EC through NEF is called a NEF session. Every session is recorded in NEF (forms, comments, uploaded documents, and session times/dates). |
7. | The email signalling that the report and payment processing have started contains PDF copies of the financial statements. The coordinator and the other beneficiaries are requested to print them, sign them and send them to the European Commission. (Note: the grant agreement requires original signed financial statements). Reception of original, signed financial statements by the Commission is a condition for executing the payment. |
8. | The NEF application will alert the users if a mistake is made or if a document required for upload is missing. For example, the user is alerted when a CFS is required, and will be unable to save changes unless it is provided. |
9. | When the payment is executed, the coordinator receives an email containing information about acceptance of costs and details about calculation of the amount paid. |
10. | Costs may be rejected by the PO. The rejection may be the result of a missing document or technical concerns. Rejections of costs are explained in the reports sent at payment time. Usually, information on rejections are also notified through the NEF sessions. |
11. | The NEF application records the payment time. |

Ford ranger SAS guys out there?
i'm going to SAS my ranger and i been looking at a dana 44 hp axle from a early bronco. good axle to use? have any advice for me? like what sould i deff do well building it and what shouldnt i do. i was thinking 3 link front and 4 link rear ford 9 inch rear end. any pics of ur guys rigs?
February 12th, 2012, 11:20 PM | #3 |
03 FX4 LEVEL II on 32 KM2
i am planing on this. dana 44 front with 5.16 gears with a ford 9 inch rear. up to 7 inches of lift with 36 to 37 inch tires. 4 link rear and 3 link front. coilovers all around. it will still be a DD. exocage with snorkle. i am looking for a 4BT cummins for after the sas. also i would like it to be a twin stick as well.
February 13th, 2012, 05:07 AM | #5 |
Don't think they made an EB hp44 I believe there all LP but u can cut down a 78-79 full sized to be the same width. Also I think 5.16s for daily use with only 37s will be to much, 4.56 would be more practical IMO. Do they even make 5.16s for the 9s/44 I thought 5.13 was the lowest u could go but I'm not sure on that.
February 13th, 2012, 09:16 AM | #8 |
Having a TJ with a waggy 44 and building a SAS 98 ranger with a 44, we both ended up adding 2" spacers and had to upgrade to cromos with 37's
He was running 5.13's with a 3.0L auto, and with a 5.0L auto. |

If you are going to run 37s and coil overs which are very expensive I'd suggest doing a d60 front that way its done and you don't have to worry about breaking the 44 now or when you go bigger in the future. If you can stick to 35 or 36s now a 44 will work but your going to want chromos soon or atleast by the time you go to 37s. That's about your limit on that axle. Being as its your DD I'd run 4.56s or 4.88s at the lowest. You can go to 5.13 or 5.38s when she's just s trail rig

Basal cell cancer, sometimes called non-melanoma skin cancer, usually appears as a small, fleshy bump or nodule on the head, neck, or hands. Occasionally, these nodules appear on the trunk of the body, usually as flat growths. Basal cell carcinoma accounts for the majority of all skin cancers in the United States. It is often easily detected and has an excellent record for successful treatment.
According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, the cure rate for basal cell carcinoma is excellent - between 85 percent to 99 percent - when properly treated. Although this type of cancer rarely spreads to other parts of the body, it can extend below the skin to the bone and cause considerable local damage. And, non-melanoma skin cancer places people at high risk for developing additional skin cancers.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer found in Caucasians. It seldom occurs in dark-skinned persons. People who have this cancer frequently have light hair, eyes, and complexions, and they do not tan easily. Risk for basal cell carcinoma includes:
excess exposure to UV radiation (sunlight or tanning beds)
chemical exposure
radiation exposure
long-term skin inflammation or injury
treatment of psoriasis
immunosuppression such as in persons who have had organ transplants
history of skin cancer
This highly treatable cancer starts in the basal cell layer of the epidermis (the top layer of skin) and grows very slowly. A basal cell carcinoma usually appears as a small, shiny bump or nodule on the skin, and mainly on the areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, hands, and face.

Drown and out
So I cranked up the weather reports, and there was a storm of Biblical proportions running more or less parallel to I-40 in Canadian County. At that angle, I calculated, it should miss me by at least two miles.
And then, of course, it turned toward me, making a beeline for Penn Square and it would have to pass over me to get there. Too late to run. I improvised a lean-to tent with the bedding, which I figured afforded me about a 10-percent chance of survival, which was 10 percent better than I stood otherwise. The last thing I tweeted was a prayer of sorts.
And then, for no reason I can imagine, it resumed its original course, due east, and never came close to me, although the rain two inches in an hour was ferocious. There was hail, though not enough, and not big enough, to make much of a dent in anything. The ground levels off behind the house, so there was a bit of water coming in through the back door, which opens into the garage, and maybe a little seepage around the edges of the slab.
At this writing, thunder continues, the rain has slacked off a bit, and, well, this post obviously wasn't sitting in the Draft folder all day.

Download UltraSnow Fixer For iOS 6.01
Due to the fact that new iPhone basebands get harder and harder to crack and exploit, for the past months we have been lacking a viable solution for unlocking our devices that run on newer iOS firmware versions. As a reminder, the notorious UltraSnow software unlock solution, although updated on a regular basis only works with older Apple models like the iPhone 4 or iPhone 3Gs which were updated to the latest firmware version while preserving their older (exploitable) basebands. If you were cautious and only upgraded your firmware version after preserving your modem firmware, you are in luck!
An unofficial UltraSnow update was released recently that brings you support to unlock iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running on iOS 6.0.1.
If the iPhone Dev-Team hasn't rushed to update its standard official version of UlstraSnow to support iOS 6, it;s little brother the UltraSn0w Fixer was the first to get an updated. Just like we said above, by using the new version of UltraSnow Fixer you will be able to free your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS from carrier restrictions. The list of compatible basebands can be seen below:
- 1.59.00
- 04.26.08
- 05.11.07
- 05.13.01
- 05.12.01
- 06.15.00
Now comes the easy part. Assuming that you already performed a jailbreak on your device and you are an unlock veteran, you probably already know what to do and you will proceed to adding the following 3rd party repository into your Cydia Sources. For those of you who are new to this process here is what you have to do:
Open the Cydia App, then navigate to the Manage tab, tap on the Sources button then tap Edit then Add. In the dialog box that will open just insert the following repository: http://repo.iparelhos.com
Don't worry if you are new and need a more in-depth guide to unlock your iPhone 4 or 3GS on iOS 6.0. The iOS Doc team is working at a full step-by-step guide that will be available on our website very soon. Although it will probably go live tomorrow, if you encounter any issues and you need help ASAP, don't hesitate to leave us a comment.
Just like we promised the full guide on installing and unlocking your iOS 6.01 iPhone can be found here.

Trudie Styler
Trudie Styler | |
Trudie Styler at the premiere of Imogene, Toronto Film Festival 2012
Born | Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England |
6 January 1954
Spouse(s) | Sting (m. 1992) |
Children | Bridget Michael "Mickey" Sumner Jake Sumner Eliot Pauline Sumner Giacomo Luke Sumner |
Trudie Styler (born 6 January 1954) is an English actress, film producer and director. She is the wife of the musician Sting.
Early life[edit]
Trudie Styler was born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England.[1] When Styler was two years old, she was hit by a van. She received severe facial injuries that left her badly scarred and required several plastic surgery operations up until the age of 18. Her classmates nicknamed her "scarface", which caused her to feel for many years that she was "not a very attractive person".[2]
Career and marriage[edit]
Styler trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and went on to star in various period BBC productions. She joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, where she would meet rock musician Sting through Frances Tomelty, his then-wife and fellow cast member in a production of Shakespeare's MacBeth. Sting began to date Styler, divorcing Tomelty soon after.[3]
In 1989, the couple founded the Rainforest Foundation, which supports indigenous rainforest peoples and help them protect their ancestral lands. Styler is also an ambassador for UNICEF.[4] Styler and her husband Sting received the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award.[5]
Styler married Sting on 20 August 1992.[6] They have four children: Bridget Michael (a.k.a. "Mickey" born 1984), Jake, (born 1985), Eliot Paulina (nicknamed "Coco," born 1990) and Giacomo Luke (born 1995). Eliot is the lead singer for the band I Blame Coco and Jake is a model.[7]
In the mid-nineties Styler established Xingu Films,[8] a production company dedicated to supporting new talent, such as Guy Ritchie, Dito Montiel and Duncan Jones. In late July 2008 it was announced that Xingu had optioned American Reaper, an upcoming graphic novel written by Pat Mills, who would also write the screenplay.[9]
In 2008 it was reported that Styler donated £10,000 into the charitable Ama Sumani cancer fund. Sumani was terminally ill with cancer and unable to afford treatment in her native Ghana, but had been deported from a Cardiff hospital after the expiry of her visa. Sumani died on 19 March 2008.[10]
She is a patron of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.[11]
Legal action[edit]
In 2007, Styler and her husband were forced to pay record damages for unfair dismissal after a tribunal found them guilty of breaking employment law for firing their private chef when she became pregnant. According to evidence presented in court, Styler's chef had been made to work 14-hour days while heavily pregnant. On one occasion, when she was seven months pregnant, she had to take a train and taxi from the Lake House estate near Salisbury to London, costing £148 in travel and £300 overtime, to prepare soup and salad for Miss Styler.[12]

The Vitter Tears of James Taranto.
40 comments:
- downtownlad said...
The same James Taranto whose Wall Street Journal Editorial Page wrote that all gay people are child molestors.
Do we really care what he thinks? - 7/12/07, 6:22 PM
- downtownlad said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- downtownlad said...
And there was another one today. Rep Bob Allen, who solicited a blowjob from a cop in public bathroom
Gotta love the hypocrisy. - 7/12/07, 6:33 PM
- Internet Ronin said...
Has Taranto acknowledged that his is not Vitters's first offense? Or does he think this was just a "one-off" kind of thing. Just wondering, because James might need a newsflash that, like DUI's, the number of times someone is caught-out is usually nowhere near the number of times someone has engaged in the activity.
I'm sure that Senator Vitters was careful to not repeat his performance within the borders of the state of Louisiana, however. I've been told that, while a first offense there is a misdemeanor, Senator Vitters faces felony charges if ever caught in the act again within his home state.
As I subscribe to Taranto's email newsletter, I'll have to go back and see if he mentions anything about Vitters's long history of telling people how to live their lives according to what Vitters believes is best. On second thought, we'd better drop the pretense of "believes" and insert "publicly pretends to believe."
I haven't had time the last few days to read the daily emails. I doubt he said anything. Taranto doesn't seem like the kind of guy that gets mired in details, relevant or not. - 7/12/07, 6:41 PM
- Internet Ronin said...
I see Allen's actually fighting it,too. He'll probably claim he was not wearing his glasses and was only trying to shake a constituent's hand.
- Revenant said...
Has Taranto acknowledged that his is not Vitters's first offense?
The question of whether or not this is Vitters's first offense is completely irrelevant to Taranto's point. His example best describes what he's getting at here:
Larry Flynt does a better job in living up to his own moral standards than David Vitter does in living up to his. But that is because Flynt has no standards, not because he is some sort of exemplar.
It doesn't matter if Vitter slept with one hooker or with a thousand of them. Taranto's point is that Vitter advocates doing the right thing, even if he himself doesn't do the right thing -- and that to insist that Vitter legalize prostitution is to place a greater value on consistency than you do on morality. It is, in other words, better to advocate the right thing and do the wrong thing than it is to advocate the wrong thing and do the wrong thing; if Vitters supported legalizing prostitution that would *worsen* his moral position, not improve it, no matter how many times he cheated on his wife with hookers.
Ann is right that Taranto's missed her point, but both Ann and Taranto have made good points here -- if, like most people (but not me) you believe prostitution should be illegal because prostitution is morally wrong, then Ann is right in thinking Vitters should be prosecuted and Taranto is right in thinking that legalizing prostitution would be an even worse thing for Vitters to do. - 7/12/07, 7:08 PM

Doesn't anybody ever run background checks anymore?
Vitter of course was the southern regional director for the Giuliani campaign. And last month, Thomas Ravenel, Rudy's South Carolina campaign manager was busted for selling cocaine.
Then today we have a news story out that McCain's Florida campaign manager, State rep. Bob Allen, denies soliciting an undercover police officer for sex last night.
No surprise Allen is denying it though-- the McCain campaign doesn't have enough money to make bail. - 7/12/07, 7:23 PM

Revenant, that's all undoubtedly true. And it is also true that, as a subscriber, I've been reading Taranto since he first appeared on-line, although (as I said) I haven't read his remarks about this incident or Ann's comments. While I usually enjoy Taranto's unique take on things, there are times when I find him excessively partisan. I thought it was obvious that I was intentionally going slightly off-topic in order to twit Taranto a bit. It wasn't my intention to address the question at hand. So few people do, I figured, "What the hell..."
In the end, however, I will disagree with you. As others have previously pointed out elsewhere on Althouse, Vitters has not just built a career advocating doing the right thing and personally doing the wrong thing, he's reveled in publicly damning (for his personal gain) those he personally finds unworthy. If we were talking about someone who was a bit less of a publicity-hound and publicly abusive over such matters, I'd be happy to cut him some slack. But he wasn't so I won't.
I'm sorry you misundertood my post to be addressing Ann's post specifically. - 7/12/07, 7:37 PM

I think you're still missing Taranto's point.
Taranto is NOT saying that Vitters did nothing wrong. He's not even saying that Vitters is a good person. What he is saying is that Vitters *advocates* doing (what Taranto considers to be) the right thing, and that this is superior to either remaining silent on the subject or advocating doing the "wrong" thing (e.g. supporting the legalization of prostitution).
Taranto acknowledges that Vitters doesn't actually *do* the right thing, but that's not relevant.
Vitters has not just built a career advocating doing the right thing and personally doing the wrong thing, he's reveled in publicly damning (for his personal gain) those he personally finds unworthy.
Your position appears to be that a person who advocates immoral behavior while behaving immorally is inferior to a person who behaves immorally and *doesn't* advocate moral behavior. I can't say that I agree.
I think you're confusing the messenger with the message. If prostitution is wrong, speaking *against* prostitution is a good act -- the number of hookers the speaker has personally slept with has no relevance. Nor could you fairly say that Vitters doesn't believe in the morality he claims to believe in. Bill Clinton claims to believe that cheating on his wife is wrong, but that didn't stop him doing it countless times. People often violate their own moral codes. - 7/12/07, 8:01 PM

But that article doesn't say "all gay people are child molestors". It doesn't say anything of the kind.
The reason Foley's homosexuality was relevant is that the young people he was "too friendly" with were *male*. If he'd been heterosexual nobody would have had reason to be suspicious of "too friendly" behavior with teenaged boys. Girls, yes; boys, no.
What the WSJ was getting at (and the reason it referenced political correctness) is that, today, the idea that a gay man might be attracted to what is basically "male jailbait". Point out that male homosexuals tend to be sexually attracted to boys in their late teens and the hypersensitive hysterics crawl out of the woodwork to denounce you as a homophobe. Despite the fact that hetero men are ALSO attracted to teenagers (half the hetero porn out there shoehorns a "teen" or "barely legal" into the title out there somewhere) we are told that observing that homosexuals feel the same urges as heterosexuals is somehow "resurrecting old stereotypes" about gay child molestation. The fact that DTL and other leftie morons clamored to label Foley's behavior as "child molestation" and "pedophilia" -- a nonsensical abuse of the English language -- didn't help matters, of course.
The position Republican leaders found themselves in was one in which they had no good options. Slap down a gay Congressman who hadn't actually done anything illegal (yet) and get bashed as homophobic troglodytes, or ignore the Congressman's behavior and risk having it blow up in their faces. - 7/12/07, 8:14 PM

Althouse is putting words in Vitter's mouth. He didn't say the matter was exclusively private. He just admitted he did wrong and apologized. If he said he should not suffer any consequence because soliciting prostitution is a private matter, or because he supports banning prostitution, or because he is a legislator, nobody would agree, that would be nuts. He didn't say any of those things though.
If a legislator breaks a law he supports, he isn't obligated to change the law. - 7/12/07, 8:39 PM
- Internet Ronin said...
Revenant, I really do understand Taranto's point. And as I said, there are many people who I'd happily cut some slack to because they don't live and breathe pretending to be morally superior beings.
At the same time, I understand the kind of person Senator Vitters is. He doesn't confine himself to saying prostitution is immoral. He has a laundry list of people and activities that he finds despicable, reprehensible, immoral, and he avails himself of almost every opportunity, particularly at election time, to let everyone know just how immoral, despicable and reprehensible those other folks, the enemies, are.
While I have never cheated on anyone or consorted with a prostitute, I don't run around making a public spectacle of myself damning those who do. I don't praise them to high heaven, either. I do believe that, if Vitters genuinely believed in the morality of his oft-repeated public statements he would not surreptitiously engage in the activity.
No, I don't find him inferior because he engages in immoral behavior while advocating moral behavior. I do find his definitions of morality twisted. I certainly do not find him superior to someone who engages in immoral behavior but says nothing in favor of moral behavior. There is absolutely no honor to be found in either. Tweedledee meet Tweedledum in my opinion.
Revenant, as Beth has pointed out elsewhere, Senator Vitters believes that I have no right to life, liberty, or employment, much less the pursuit of happiness. - 7/12/07, 8:45 PM

Althouse is comparing the "drug pusher" (Prostitute) to the "drug user" (Client).
According to Althouse logic, drug pushing ought to be treated the exact same as drug using.
The drug dealers are always dealt with more harshly than the drug users.
The one person has an addiction, the other is furnishing an illegal act. - 7/12/07, 8:58 PM

About the shenanigans: Harkonnendog is right, the WSJ never wrote that. Here is the actual WSJ editorial, about the Democrats' reaction to the Foley scandal. It was John Whiteside, in the blogpost referenced by Invisible Man, who said, "It's hard to believe that the editors of the Wall Street Journal can't distinguish between relationships between consenting adults and relationships where there's an abuse of power. And the Boy Scout comment is a gratuitous little 'and they're all child molesters, you know!' slam. Of course, given that the majority of sexual predators are heterosexual men, we can use their logic to conclude that parents had best keep their daughters away from the Wall Street Journal's offices." Downtownlad is quoting John Whiteside, who is being snarky about the WSJ. Downtownlad is not quoting the WSJ.
Just for clarity. - 7/12/07, 11:13 PM

I read Taranto every day and his rebuttal to Anne may be the dumbest thing I've ever read. It's especially ironic that he delights in skewering liberal moonbats who say stuff half as stupid.
The worrisome part is the fear that there are people who honestly agree with what Taranto wrote and quoted.
(I suspect that Taranto is doesn't really care about the issue one way or the other and is simply being a contrarian. I wouldn't be at all surprised if, in the near future, he writes "Ha, fooled you all." I hope he writes that since it would be rather disappointing to find out Taranto is a blithering idiot.) - 7/12/07, 11:39 PM

Rev, in a war of ideas, hypocritical behavior is very damaging to the cause.
- Beth said...
There's the hypocrisy of Vitter claiming this is a private matter, while the madame faces her consequences through the justice system. But let's not forget that Vitter was calling for Clinton to resign or be removed from office because of his sexual escapades. In 1998, he wrote an guest editorial for the Times-Picayune, disagreeing with the idea that impeachment is to remove an official no longer able to govern, not one guilty of moral transgressions. Vitter argued that the intent of the founders was that we should remove someone found morally unfit to govern.
In 1998, Vitter was having an affair with "exotic masseusse" Wendy Cortez. That's not the same prostitute with whom he is rumored to have fathered a daughter, now living in Alexandria, La., and not receiving child support from the senator.

Rev, in a war of ideas, hypocritical behavior is very damaging to the cause.
In a war of personalities, hypocrisy is damaging. Politically, hypocrisy is damaging. In a war of ideas it is irrelevant.
Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner. Few, if any, of the founding fathers treated women as equals (not even John Adams. None of this detracts from the worth of their ideas. People who sneer at American ideals of freedom by saying "yeah, but the Founders owned slaves" aren't worthy of serious consideration. They're not engaging in a debate about the worth of the ideas; they're just engaging in ad hominem attacks.
We'll just have to agree to disagree about the relative worth of moral advocacy. Of course, since (unlike Taranto) I don't think there's anything immoral about prostitution or most of the other things Vitter rails against this is largely a moot point. :) - 7/13/07, 2:38 AM

Revenant: LOL! to your first comment.

Ann wrote on Tuesday in her blog post, among other things that she felt sorry for Vitter:
"I didn't say Vitter "is getting off easy." In fact, I feel sorry for him. I am simply objecting to his announcement that it's a private matter in the realm of family and religion." - 7/13/07, 8:14 AM
- dbp said...
When Vitter said, "it's a private matter in the realm of family and religion." he wasn't attempting to claim immunity from prosecution: He was explaining to the media his reasons for not answering any of their questions.
I would presume that if he has commited a crime and if there is sufficient evidence of this, then he will be charged. Just like the madam has been.

Indian batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli's dismal performances in the recently concluded five-match Test series against England saw them dropping down in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings for Test batsmen, following their side's 3-1 series defeat.
While Pujara dropped four places to 16th, Kohli slid a further five places to 26th. Pujara, however, still remains India's highest-ranked batsman in the table.
India's second highest run-getter of the series, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni finished the series in 28th position, climbing four places. The skipper scored four half-centuries with a best of 82 during the tour.
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara holds the No.1 spot in the rankings closely followed by AB de Villiers of South Africa.
Meanwhile, in the bowlers' rankings, Ravichandran Ashwin's figures of 3/72 in the last Test at The Oval helped him earn a place to be ranked at 13th. However, Ashwin lost the top spot in the all-rounders rankings to give way to Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan.
The bowling table is headed by South Africa's Dale Steyn, who leads Australia's Ryan Harris.
In the Test rankings for countries, India went down by one place to fifth while England climbed two places to third. South Africa are the top Test team, Australia are second.

texting and driving? pssh.
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
i'm actually hesitant to even tell the story of what happened to me last night.
as it's quite embarrassing...
but hell, 75% of my online identity is embarrassing, why stop now?
tonight after i got home from working out i was on my blackberry.
(shocker, i know)
i'm reading/clicking/typing/tweeting away on my phone when nature called, and of course i bring my phone into the bathroom - not even thinking twice about it.
so yeah, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to see where this story is going...
i flush,
dirty water goes bye bye,
clean water fills in,
as does my blackberry...
i yell, "F@CK!"
grab my phone out of the toilet and then laugh out loud to myself thinking, "i'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner...", and got all geared up to make a trip to verizon today
but instead of being completely broken, the phone is still working, even after almost being completely submerged in water.
go figure. the internet gods are obviously saying they still needs me.
i'm still thinking though that i need to get a new phone - like yesterday.
36 comments:
Um, not to be mega-TMI, but I frequently consider taking my iPhone or even macbook into the bathroom with me. The only thing that holds me back is my irrational but pervasive paranoia that any electronics with cameras + internet capabilities could at any time turn on, take a random photo of me, then email them to all my high school crushes. (See?! Sometimes insanity does work out in one's favor!)
ReplyDeleteI actually think it depends on a few things.
1) Did it fall into the toilet as the clean water was coming in?
2) Was it your own personal bathroom or a public restroom??
Obviously, you washed it via Lysol so that's okay!! My friend dropped hers in the bar bathroom. . . while BOTH of our pees were in it. (we were saving water and were in the handicap stall) GROSS!! We then tried to bathe it in soap and water and hand sanitizer. We took the battery out asap while we cleaned it though.- Michelle BJanuary 14, 2010 at 1:39 PM
when i was in college i dropped my phone in the toilet 3 times and it still worked...gross but hey i was in college and it was my toilet! then one night i dropped it in the toilet in the mens bathroom...the line for the women's was too long...and i never looked back!! i was on my to verizon first thing in the morning...hangover and all!!
ReplyDelete Ohh, I have done way worse!! I dropped my phone in the toilet one night and while it was drying out, I borrowed my friends phone and dropped hers in too! And, i drop at least one item a week in the toilet (can of hairspray, round brush, perfume), the counters at Bridgeview are WAY too small!!
ReplyDeleteOH, I've almost done this...but on top of that, I think I've done something worse! When I bartend I keep my bottle popper in my back pocket for easy retrieval. Well, people love to get the 'tenders drunk at Map and in the midst of my tipsy-ness, I ran to the potty. Without thinking, a ripped down my jeans and *kirplunk!*..there goes my popper in the toilet. Needless-to-say I threw that bad boy away LOL.
So, don't feel bad!

London First-Time Homebuyers Climb by a Third, Lending Rises
Patrick GowerThe number of first-time London homebuyers climbed 33 percent in the fourth quarter compared with a year earlier as a recovering economy and government assistance boosted mortgage lending.
Home-loan borrowers rose to 13,400 in the British capital from 10,100 a year earlier, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said today in an e-mailed statement. Total U.K. mortgages increased by almost 50 percent in value to 3 billion pounds ($5 billion) compared with a year ago.
The financial crisis prompted a drop in first-time buyers as banks increased down payment requirements and raised barriers to lending. Now, Prime Minister David Cameron's efforts to stimulate the economy through the housing market are bearing fruit, with buyers seeking almost 1 billion pounds of mortgages under the government's Help to Buy program.
First-time buyers typically borrowed 198,900 pounds, a rise from 196,000 pounds a year earlier, according to the statement. They spent about 20.6 percent of their income on mortgage payments, less than the 21.3 percent spent a year earlier.
U.K. homebuilders are ramping up construction to satisfy rising demand. Persimmon Plc, the U.K.'s largest homebuilder, said yesterday that full-year profit rose 54 percent from a year earlier. Taylor Wimpey Plc, the third-largest homebuilder by market value, today said net income rose 19 percent in 2013 as home sales and prices climbed. Both beat analysts' estimates.
For all of 2013, first-time buyers in London received 45,800 loans, up 24 percent from a year earlier, according to the statement. The total value of those loans was more than 10 billion pounds, up 34 percent from 2012.

The main objective of any tax system is to raise revenues to fund government expenditure. The amount of revenue raised is determined to a large extent by tax bases and tax rates. It is also a function of a range of measures — special tax rates, exemptions, deductions, rebates, deferrals and credits — that affect the level and distribution of tax.
On Friday, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee offered a small concession to individual tax payers. He raised the annual income tax exemption limit by Rs 20,000 to Rs 2 lakh and also changed the tax slabs. The guiding principle of increasing the exemption limit is give more money in hands of people.
Mukherjee believes the tax breaks will provide "substantial" relief to taxpayers. But with prices rising, is it enough?

Wrestling was left in a state of shock after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a surprise recommendation on Tuesday to drop the sport from the 2020 Games.
Contested in the first modern Olympics in 1896 and part of the ancient Games in Olympia, wrestling will now join seven other candidate sports battling for one spot in a revamped programme.
It is unlikely, however, that it will get a reprieve when the IOC session in Buenos Aires votes on the recommendation in September as this would defeat the purpose of Tuesday's vote.
"This is not the end of the process, this is purely a recommendation," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters following an Executive Board meeting. "It is the session which is sovereign."
"It was a decision to look at the core sports, what works best for the Olympic games. This was the best programme for the 2020 Olympics. This is not about what's wrong with wrestling but what is good for the Games."
The vote came as a major shock after other sports, including modern pentathlon and taekwondo, were seen as more at risk of losing out due to their low global appeal.
"FILA was greatly astonished by today's recommendation of the IOC Executive Board not to maintain wrestling among the 25 core sports for the 2020 Olympic Games," the international wrestling federation said in a statement.
It said the federation was represented in 180 countries, "with wrestling being the national sport in a fair amount of them and the only possibility for athletes to represent their country at the Olympic Games, thus contributing to their universality.
"FILA will take all necessary measures to convince the IOC... of the aberration of such a decision against one of the founding sports of the ancient and modern Olympic Games," it said, adding it would meet next week to discuss its next steps.
Board members were given a report on each of the Olympic sports which provided details on 39 criteria such as popularity, finances, tickets sold, anti-doping and governance, before a secret vote.
"There were different rounds of voting necessary to come to this conclusion," said IOC vice president Thomas Bach. "It is an extremely difficult decision to take."
"I cannot look into the heads of my colleagues. Such a decision is never based on one single reason. It is always a series of reasons. Of course, different members take a different approach."
"The common understanding is the purpose of this was to modernise, to look into the future of the Olympics," added Bach, a potential IOC presidential candidate later this year.
The 15-member executive board needed four rounds of voting to decide on wrestling with pentathlon, hockey, canoeing and taekwondo also getting votes to be dropped from the Games.
IOC president Jacques Rogge did not vote.
Canoeing scored the fewest and was eliminated first with taekwondo following it to safety in the next round, leaving three sports in the decider.
Wrestling got eight votes against it in the final round of voting with hockey and pentathlon tied at three votes each.
"I am very surprised by the result," board member and president of the International ice hockey federation Rene Fasel told Reuters. "Personally, I do not know why but that is what the majority wanted."
The IOC said 25 of the 26 Olympic sports were elected as core sports for the 2020 Games which will also include rugby and golf, making their first appearance in 2016.
Wrestling joins baseball and softball, making a joint bid after being taken off the programme in 2005, martial arts karate and wushu, rollersports, wakeboarding, squash and sports climbing as candidates for the one open spot.
The IOC executive board will meet in St Petersburg in May to determine which of these will be put to the vote in September.
"We knew that today would be a tough day for American athletes competing in whatever sport was identified by the IOC Executive Board," said United States Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun, whose country is an Olympic powerhouse in the sport.
"Given the history and tradition of wrestling, and its popularity and universality, we were surprised when the decision was announced."
"It's important to remember that today's action is a recommendation, and we hope that there will be a meaningful opportunity to discuss the important role that wrestling plays in the sports landscape both in the United States and around the world," he said.
USA Wrestling has already responded by setting up a Facebook page called 'Keep Wrestling in the Olympics'.
Wrestling had 344 athletes at the London Olympics, competing in greco-roman and freestyle disciplines. Women's events were introduced at the Athens 2004 Olympics.
Russian wrestling federation chief Mikhail Mamiashvili was shocked by the decision but was confident his sport would remain in the Games.
"I'm absolutely convinced this ancient sport will retain its status," Mamiashvili, who won an Olympic gold medal in 1988, told Reuters.
"But FILA (the world amateur wrestling federation), the whole wrestling community must take a more active role in the process. We need to make some drastic changes in the sport, make it more attractive, especially for TV audiences," he said.
Olympic exclusion will be a major blow to the sport's popularity and financial stability as the Games are a global platform for the promotion of smaller, less established sports.
"It is very unfortunate," Satpal Singh, coach of India's twice Olympic medal winner Sushil Kumar, told Reuters. "It is being played from the first Olympics and is played all over the world."
International Modern Pentathlon Union president Klaus Schormann welcomed the news.
"In the last few years we acted and took decisions to make our sport more telegenic and more compact," Schormann told Reuters. "So every good news is further motivation for us."
Madrid, Tokyo and Istanbul are bidding to host the 2020 Olympics with a decision also to be taken in September.

Moz Watch continues: Morrissey returns to the Fox
November 29th, 2011, 1:10 pm by GEORGE A. PAUL, FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERMorrissey concluded his sold-out swing through several SoCal venues (including stops before and after Thanksgiving in L.A. at the Music Box and the Shrine Auditorium, respectively) with a strong show Monday night at the Fox Theater.
Whenever the revered English vocalist returns to the area, tickets are gone instantly and his large Latin fan base turns up in droves. That was definitely true in Pomona, where the allotment vanished in 20 minutes and Hispanics comprise 70 percent of the population. Spanish salutations were made from the stage and one was reciprocated by a female follower; after Moz handed the microphone around and people surprisingly shied away from commenting (he called them cowards), the gal expressed her love on behalf of the city.
This year, two new career retrospectives arrived in stores – the import Very Best of Morrissey concentrates on solo material and music videos, while Rhino Records' The Smiths Complete box set contains all the albums from that seminal '80s band in remastered form. (It also comes in a lavishly expanded, limited edition Super Deluxe version.) Yet the 70-minute concert was basically devoid of alt-rock radio hits featured on both releases.
Instead, Morrissey favored deep album cuts and new tunes from a studio album expected sometime in 2012. The setlists have essentially remained the same throughout the North American jaunt; Pomona's had a slightly different order than L.A. and switched out three songs.
As on previous tours, concert-goers were treated to an assortment of grainy European TV clips from the '70s, including footage of Shocking Blue, Sparks and New York Dolls, all before Moz took the stage. He was clad in a tight sparkly green shirt and jeans, while the five-piece band wore matching green UCLA shirts – possibly a sarcastic nod to the Shrine's horrendous traffic woes attributed to the college's nearby football game.

Tyler Farmer Memorial & Widowed Single Mother
Help us raise funds for a widowed single mother of two, to cover expenses and purchase an urn to honor Tyler Farmer's memory.
Tyler Farmer passed away on Monday, July 29th, 2013 shortly after a tragic motorcycle accident in San Diego, CA. Cause of death was cardiac arrest during an exploratory laparotomy surgical procedure for treatment of lung and liver lacerations due to blunt force injury of his torso. Tyler's parents both passed away when he was young, leaving only he and his brother. He was survived by his soulmate Amber, and her two beautiful children - Kaden (male, age 9) and Cali (female, age 6). Amber is a wonderful person and mother, and this is obviously an extremely difficult time for her and her children. The added expenses of his passing have led to hard financial times and I would love to help lessen her burden. The hardest part for me to witness was when she brought home his ashes - they were in a plastic bag, inside of a cardboard box. Her family deserves more than that for their lost love. They deserve a memorial to display, which honors and dignifies, the man they love with all their hearts. I beg you to give whatever you can spare, no matter the amount. I can't even imagine the heartache this family is going through. Please support them in their time of need. God bless everyone who donates, and please watch over this family. Rest In Peace Tyler Farmer

A New Brunswick-based company has begun transporting thousands of fish affected by an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia from a quarantined Nova Scotia aquaculture farm to a fish plant for processing.
Cooke Aquaculture says about 240,000 fish will be transported from its farm off Coffin Island near Liverpool, N.S., to a fish plant in Blacks Harbour, N.B., over the next month. The processing started last week, it said.
Cooke is the first company to process salmon with the disease under new protocols set out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, company spokeswoman Nell Halse said.
The federal agency said the virus does not pose a risk to human health and is safe for consumption.
"They're perfectly safe to eat," said Ms. Halse. "In this case we've got fish that are market size. There's nothing wrong with them from a human health perspective.
"It's really only an issue for fish health. It's nothing to do with human health."
Ms. Halse said Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials have been at both sites over the past six months developing proper guidelines for the processing.
That includes disinfecting the fish plant and setting protocols for managing the waste water in the tanker trucks that transport the fish.
Ms. Halse said everyone involved has gone through strict training on how to handle the fish to prevent the virus from spreading.
"All of the boat captains, the truck drivers, the plant workers have all been trained to know how to handle these fish so that there's no possibility of the virus getting back out into the ocean or going to other farms."
Last spring, Cooke had to kill hundreds of thousands of salmon because of an outbreak of infectious salmon anemia in pens outside Nova Scotia's Shelburne Harbour.
Ms. Halse said those fish were killed because they were only halfway through production and too small to be marketed.
She said a different strain of the virus was detected at its Coffin Island farm last June, so the site was quarantined and the salmon were grown to full market size.
If the federal agency doesn't order the fish to be killed off, the farmer is obligated to process and market the fish, Ms. Halse said. The government compensates salmon growers in instances that a cull is ordered.

Top of the Lake's Silver Through-Line
As you have undoubtedly heard since it was announced on the internet about 1,000 different times over the course of about six months (as if each meeting was the official official, 'no really official this time!' news, Nicole Kidman will co-star in Top of the Lake season 2 (with Elisabeth Moss returning to her leading role) . It's her first reunion with her Portrait of a Lady director Jane Campion from back before she was fully NICOLE KIDMAN but basically getting there if you know what I mean.
What we didn't know until now is that she will be sporting Jane Campion's favorite hair color just like Holly Hunter did in Season 1 way back in 2013...
Can this be a thing for each season? A gorgeous Oscar winning actress suddenly sporting grey hair even though she's only in her mid 40s to mid 50s? Why should men get all the silver fox action?
Let's pray for Top of the Lake to be renewed in perpetuity (that first season was straight up amazing) and even though they're slow with them -- once every three years? weird, but okay -- might we suggest:
Season 3 (2019) Juliette Binoche at 55
Season 4 (2022) Gwyneth Paltrow at 49
Season 5 (2025) Cate Blanchett at 56
Season 6 (2028) Anne Hathaway at 46
Season 7 (2031) Anna Paquin at 49 (Piano reunion!)
Season 8 (2034) Kirsten Dunst at 52 (we'll just assume she's won the Oscar by then, shut up!)
Season 9 (2037) Alicia Vikander at 49
Season 10 (2040) Elle Fanning at 42 (see: Dunst reasoning)
Sorry. I'll stop now!

Independent Film Week is currently underway in New York City, and the "Filmmaking in Conflict" panel discussion held Thursday incited an engaging conversation about the trials of documentary filmmaking in the modern age. From conflicts with subjects to dealing with lawsuits, the discussion's panelists provided insight into the process of getting a documentary made and navigating the roadblocks along the way. The talk was led by Heather Croall, the festival director of Sheffield Doc/Fest, and the three panelists were Joe Berlinger ("Paradise Lost"), Doug Block ("The Kids Grow Up") and Alison Klayman ("Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry").
In an attempt to make the most of the 60-minute time frame, Croall broke down the conflicts into seven categories: Subject, Team, Government, Corporations, Family, Other Filmmakers and Funders. Of course, any filmmaker could attest to the fact that there are countless complexities and unforeseen conflicts involved in the process of making a film, and that there are no simple solutions. Block aptly pointed out that he and each of his co-panelists would be better fit to describe their filmmaking conflicts if each was allotted a five-hour window. By the end of the hour, and after dozens of conflicts had been dissected, one audience member posed the question: "How do you keep going?"
Block, Klayman and Berlinger proved that documentary filmmaking is full of serious occupational hazards. As Berlinger said, with corporate ownership of broadcast companies polluting mainstream media, independent documentarians are perhaps the final bastion of contemporary, objective reporting. And in the end, being a filmmaker is ultimately about telling a story.
Despite the discussion's brevity, the panelists managed to produce a plethora of tips for aspiring documentary filmmakers. Below are the top 7:
1. Patience and persistence are invaluable. If there is footage crucial to portraying your artistic vision, hold out. In Klayman's case, it took her a year and a half of persuasion and patience to capture the most important scenes in her documentary "Ai Weiwei."
2. Maintain your subjects' trust. Don't present a false agenda to a subject in order to elicit an interview, and be careful about the bonds you forge.
3. Have a written and formalized agreement with subjects. Should the film generate profits that need dividing up, or a participant needs to back out of the project for personal reasons, a written agreement will help prevent further conflicts.
4. Expect government interference when dealing with a controversial subject, and be prepared for it. Think things through — know when to hold back, don't put your subjects in danger and be careful what you put into writing. Klayman shared an ingenious tip for dealing with the risk of having your footage confiscated by police: constantly change the tapes you use for filming.
5. Even when dealing with subjects that are friends or relatives, be as objective as possible. As a filmmaker, taking sides and only showing subjects in a positive light will be a detriment to your vision and the quality of the final product.
6. At the same time, don't put the film before your family. Navigate the tensions between your role as filmmaker and your personal roles, and deal with the conflicts as they arise.
7. Don't monopolize someone's tragedy. If another filmmaker is documenting the same story, cooperate with each other in order to avoid conflicts that might prevent your access to information or subjects.

Winter is probably the time when you get plenty of visitors and snowbirds heading to warmer climates. FYI I was reading where a barrel of Note Bene wine from Black Hills Winery further south from here was sold for $19,000. I have been trying to get even a bottle so this will probably drive the price up from its already $30 price tag..if you can find it at all. A barrel is 300 bottles.,,,so it sold for $63 p/bottle...craziness.

That little snowman is so cute! I am guessing that is the closest to snow K.W. gets all year. And, I am a little jealous of your upcoming tomatoes, and the tomato season here is winding down now, and the few that are left are expensive. I did not freeze enough stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce for winter. :( I feel like that bad squirrel who didn't store enough nuts for the winter.

Pneumanauts & Vertical Adventurers
It is interesting that a fair number of my readers are Christians of the "unproblematic" variety -- that is, people who were simply raised Christian or who became Christian at a young age, and that was the end of their spiritual search -- if indeed it was a search at all. This is so far from my experience, that we might as well be living in parallel universes. Please, this is not a criticism. I often wish things could be so simple and straightforward for me. Not only did I feel as if I were on a search, but a frantic one -- shirttails on fire, looking for the water.
As I have mentioned before, it was only after my book was actually written and the manuscript submitted that I had a vivid moment -- think of Alec Gunness in Bridge On the River Kwai -- in which I exclaimed, "My God, what have I done?" Not only had I included some things that would needlessly alienate Christians -- and more traditionally religious people in general -- but at that very time, I had found myself being drawn to Christianity in a deeper way than had ever happened before. Thus, I had to rewrite much of the book in the space of a few short weeks.
I suppose I could reconstruct the timeline if I gave it some thought, but that's probably not important. I can, however, more or less reconstruct the exact sequence of books that opened my eyes to the "yogic depths" -- no offense -- of Christianity, and it was this: Inner Christianity --> A Different Christianity --> Gnosis (three volumes) --> Meditations on the Tarot.
I keep some of these books in the sidebar, in the permanent overmental liberary of foundational raccoomendations. In particular, Meditations strikes me as the last word in Christian hermeticism from a universalist Western perspective. I don't include Gnosis, because although Mouravieff is rooted in Eastern Orthodoxy, he's nevertheless rather unorthodox, as he gets into a lot of occult speculation that is closer to the spirit of Gurdjieff. Not that there's anything completely wrong with that, but at least for my taste, I find that universal precepts can be twisted too far in an idiosyncratic or personal way, so that the universal appeal is lost. I think one of the purposes of dogma is to channel the religious imagination within certain constraints, but it's always somewhat of a fine line between being a visionary and heretic.
Meditations may at times push the envelope, but in the end, I believe Anonymous achieves his goal of "vivifying the body" of tradition -- not by being "superior" to it, i.e., the "head" -- but by providing it with a "beating heart." He exemplifies the spirit that "interiorizes" as opposed to the letter which "exteriorizes." Someone such as a Rudolf Steiner has many deep and useful things to say about Christianity, but they are often couched in such a personal vision that they become problematic. They are too interior.
In fact, once I read Mouravieff -- who was strongly influenced by the early Fathers -- this spurred me to go back to the very beginnings of Christianity. I became fascinated with the question of exactly what transpired between the time of the death of Jesus and the elaboration of Christian theology. Originally, Christians didn't even call themselves Christians. Rather, that was a designation of the Roman authorities.
Early Christianity was markedly experiential, to say the least. It is critical to point out that a uniform doctrine only emerged with the first Council of Nicea in 325. It is rather difficult to imagine, but that means some three hundred years, during which time the followers of Jesus were having these pretty wild experiences with the Holy Spirit before they decided to try to get everyone on the same page. It's easy to forget, but the attempt to come up with a creed was definitely a case of O-->(k), not vice versa. In other words, in hindsight, we might look at dogma as something cold and inflexible, but at the time, it was thoroughly rooted in experience.
But once experience is "stored" in dogma, the trick is how to "unpack" it again. This was the main problem I had with Christianity as a child. You're just presented with this "finished product," which is essentially (k) about O -- that is to say, a kind of rigid formulation about ultimate reality. But what if I want to figure things out for myself? After all, this is what the first Christians did. The desert fathers didn't go to the library to learn about Christianity. Rather, they left civilization altogether, went out to the remote desert, and lived in caves in order to have a direct encounter with O.
Again, we can scarcely imagine. In fact, I'm not sure if we can imagine it at all. First of all, imagine the strength of the "call" to do something so radical. Why? What was the lure? Is there anything analogous in our day and age to such a wholehearted plunge into the mystery of being?
Well, yes, I suppose there is. I eventually found a number of important Christian figures who didn't so much initiate a "Christian-Vedanta dialogue" as become totally committed to exploring and living out the reality of their unity, including Swami Abhishiktananda (Fr. Henri LeSaux) and Fr. Bede Griffiths.
Interestingly, the desert fathers were not fundamentally dissimilar to the Vedantic seers who rejected the world as "maya," who wished to have a direct encounter with O, and who left us the Upanishads. Or look at it this way: don't flatter yourself, little Raccoon. The folks who had that kind of commitment -- to turn their back to the solid but illusory world in favor of an uncertain adventure into the ocean of consciousness -- have much more in common with each other than with you or I.
As I put it in One Cosmos, we owe much to "these inward explorers -- eccentric psychonauts mostly unfit for conventional existence, or simply unwilling to accept the slave wages of normality," who "identified a trap door into a vertical dimension," finding there "a return route to the forgotten country from which humans had set out Before the Beginning. Venturing across the Great Divide separating man from the incorruptible sphere of the gods, our virtual adventurers then found themselves pulled into the orbit of the Great Attractor, the very ground and goal of existence, the unseparate Source of all being, a mostly uninhabited region at the outskirts of consciousness, the Final, Absolute Reality where cosmos flowers into deity and Bang! you're divine."
Sri Krishna Prem, another westerner who left the comfort of the modern world to found an ashram in India in the 1920s, wrote that "the real purpose of all the ancient cosmogonies" is "to invite us to turn our gaze inwards to the source and origin of both the 'outer' universe of phenomena and of the 'inner' universe of consciousness, to find there the ever-present and eternal simultaneity of what is here seen as a flow of separate events in time; and above all, to fathom the ultimate mystery of our selfhood."
Flat out of time. To be continued.....
