Comprehensive Prostate Cancer Care
Fighting Cancer, Reducing Pain
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, excluding skin cancers, in American men and 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Little Company of Mary's search for better tools to detect and beat prostate cancer is focused on technology and treatments that are fast, precise and relatively free of pain. It's all about getting you back to the activities you love as quickly as possible.
Precise Treatments
Our cancer experts specialize in minimally invasive techniques and bring some of the most advanced cancer treatments available right to your neighborhood. These include advanced radiation therapy, cryotherapy, radioactive prostate implants, high dose rate prostate brachytherapy, and one of the only da Vinci® robotic surgical system in the area being used for prostate cancer. Plus, with access to the latest clinical cancer trials through our affiliation with the Medical Oncology Group of the University of Chicago Hospitals, you can be sure that tomorrow's advances in cancer treatment will be here quickly.
Explore our links for more information about prostate cancer, our tools for fighting it and to take our convenient on-line prostate cancer risk test.
One of the most common treatments for prostate cancer is the removal of the prostate gland. Traditional removal requires an 8-10 inch incision. This open surgery commonly results in blood loss, a lengthy and uncomfortable recovery and risk of impotence or incontinence. If your doctor recommends surgery, you may be a candidate for a procedure called da Vinci Prostatectomy. It is a state-of-the-art surgical system that helps surgeons see vital anatomical structures more clearly through 5 small incisions. This makes the procedure less-invasive and more precise and offers less blood loss, less risk of infection, faster recovery, and less scarring.

when it comes to before & afters, it's hard for me to resist a submission with a good pet shot. and these photos from d*s reader charlene in cape town south africa are pretty darn irresistible. charlene's cat "socks" is modeling her recent chair renovation- which began as a rather worn bubble chair and ended up as a chic red floral piece. clearly socks approves, and so do i. great work, charlene!
today's final before & after comes from annie at ultra vroom. annie's office corner was in desperate need of an upgrade so not only did she makeover her little office patch- she built a new desk from scratch! i love the dark wood against the clean white legs- and it certainly beats the tiny ikea table in the before shot! you can read more about annie's project right here– thanks, annie!
[have a before & after you'd like to share on d*s? just shoot me an email right here with your images!]
*stay tuned for a fantastic diy wedding bouquet project from studio choo next at 2pm!*
perfect pattern for charlene's round chair, looks fabulous (and comfortable!)
Cute little "Socks", please have mercy on the beautiful new upholstery! :)
Where does one find beautiful fabric like the kind on the reupholstered chair?
The chair looks great. I hope the cat doesn't like the new fabric as much as the last one…
wow, the chair looks great! i love the color!
Such a cute kitty! I love how the chair turned out as well!!
I wonder what fabric is on the bubble chair. I love it!
Wow, now that's a nice chair, fit for a queen! I agree, good choice of fabric!
Fabulous chair, but I see that Socks already has a claw on it!
Ditto everyone else. Where on earth is that fabric from? It's amazing. And so is the 'after' chair!
I think the dark wood does look really great with the white legs and white shelf. I also really love the pop of color with the book and the art.
I'm envious of both pieces! But I love that desk…mostly because I think I could copy it and name it The Annie Desk. Maybe we could start a trend?
That Socks is one contortionist cat! In the first photo I was thinking, wait – his head is one way…body flipped the other…amazing. The chair looks great, too!
I love that new office space! xx
great chair! Definitely worthy of a makeover. Socks looks just like my cat, Cleo.
I love your Before and Afters. The chair turned out amazing and I love the little kitty! Thanks for sharing!
gorgeous chair! what great fabric!
I can't resist this photo with the cat!! too cute they always seems to find the best spots in the house to sleep and make their own!! Very nice transformation.
Wow, to have a vision for the first chair is amazing, I love how it turned out!!
The chair before and after is amazing. Love the fabric!
Man I love before and after – it really makes you appreciate the finished product!
wow – amazing redo on the kitty chair
Great b&a. I love that fabric!
I'd love to submit a desk chair re-do that I did in Nova Scotia for my sons bedroom in our beach house Beach Rose Cottage in Nova Scotia. I have before and after pics, and one of him sitting at the desk…he's not a cat…but he's pretty cute!
Wow so cleaver, love the chair
I love that chair, I covet that chair and Socks the cat too!!
Wow, that chair transformation is super awesome! Love the fabric choice used here! Let's hope that Socks will be gentle with it!
I love the chair redo – did she use a pattern or have it professionally redone? Gorgeous!
i. want. that. chair.
it is so lovely! i was shocked that it was the same chair! great job!
How do people get such a neat and spartan look in their offices? I struggle everday to keep it minimal, but stuff just multiplies!
Thanks for all the lovely comments, Socks posed specially for this pic – such a show off! ;) I bought the fabric 2 years ago at a Fabric Shop in Cape Town, South Africa. Not sure from where they imported. Will try find out and post it here. I had the chair professionally covered – was way too complicated to try myself! Fabric was about $30p/m – and needed 4m to cover chair.

Ancient Books Rescued With Assistance From German Embassy
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
TIMBUKTU, MALI—German diplomats provided invaluable assistance with the rescue of more than 200,000 historic books and manuscripts from Timbuktu's libraries before they could be destroyed by Islamist rebels. The most important documents were smuggled to safety in secure storage boxes, hidden with shipments of lettuce and fruit. "Now we need to preserve them for posterity," said Guido Westerwelle, Germany's Foreign Minister.

In the 1990s, Toyota Chairman Eiji Toyoda took every opportunity to preach about an impending crisis and to challenge his fellow executives. "Should we continue to build cars as we have been doing?" he would ask in his bid to promote a quantum shift in thinking, which would be crucial in the upcoming century. His questions eventually revolutionized the automobile industry with vehicles that deliver fuel economy twice that of their conventional counterparts while emitting half as much carbon dioxide. More important, it was the catalyst for restructuring the company's design process.
Today, building industry leader Edward Mazria, FAIA, founder of Architecture 2030 (architecture2030.org), is challenging our industry do the same, and many firms are accepting his challenge. In response to global warming and rapidly diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, the 2030 Challenge is intended to put its adopters on the path to mainstream delivery of net-zero-energy buildings by the year 2030. Efforts to meet this challenge are causing some firms to reassess their current design process, and realize that the process must change before any mainstream product improvement can be realized.
A critical skill set that is needed in today's design studio is the ability to perform quick energy-modeling simulations in a project's schematic design phase. Those actively pursuing the 2030 Challenge have long known that the design process for truly high-performing buildings starts in the predesign and schematic design phases, yet there remains a lamentable absence of a systematic framework for employing this concept within most design studios.
To integrate such a framework within its design studios, at HKS we recently co-developed an educational program with TLC Engineering for Architecture. The result was a 90-minute game that is impacting firms and industry leaders who have participated in conference presentations of the game. One impact is the adoption of the concept by the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
The program, originally titled "A Night at the Energy Modeling Improv—Featuring the Wizard of SD," is now referred to simply as the Wizard Game. The program was given this moniker because the presenters use the Schematic Design Wizard component of the eQuest software. The eQuest name is an acronym for Quick Energy Simulation Tool, and the SD Wizard component makes parametric modeling quick and easy. The game was presented at the 2010 GreenBuild Conference, and the presenters have subsequently fulfilled requests to repeat the program in nearly every climate zone in the U.S.
The game typically begins with an energy model of a 50,000-square-foot fictitious building set up to comply with the prescriptive requirements of the ASHRAE 2007 90.1 energy code. The presenters explain the base building in enough detail to give the participants an understanding of the base building design, its climate zone, and an understanding of where energy is being used within the building (lighting, cooling, heating, equipment loads, etc.).
The audience is then typically divided into two teams who are given an opportunity to compete against one another in a four-quarter game. It starts with each team selecting alternative building massings and orientations. Following consensus of the team members, the presenters perform live energy modeling of each respective team's decisions and then quickly display the quantified reduction or increase in the predicted Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of their decisions. A graphic illustration of where the energy savings or increases were realized is also examined.
In the second quarter, each team is given a menu of building-envelope modifications to choose from. The five options include changes to roof insulation, wall insulation, window-to-wall ratio, glass types, and exterior sunshade devices. Following each team's selection of two of the five options, energy-efficiency measures are modeled and the results of both teams are shared. The results are evaluated by the teams and explained by the presenters in detail before moving forward.
The presenters find that the teams at this stage of the game frequently select insulation improvements and glass-type changes. One of the lessons learned in this process is that that the energy code has already optimized the building insulation, and the benefits of adding additional insulation to a dominantly internal-load-based building are minimal and typically not effective in reducing the EUI. Another interesting observation is that teams are often attracted to one of the glass options simply because it states "Low E" in the title of the glass. This is despite the fact that provided performance data on that particular "Low E" glass, such as its solar heat gain Ccefficient (SHGC) or U-Value, is less desirable than the base building glass or other glass options. The modeling results of these selections reveal valuable lessons to the participants—particularly the importance of the proper glass selection for the given climate zone.
From another perspective, modeling can also rule out strategies that are ineffective or, in some cases, detrimental. For instance, the effectiveness of exterior sunshading devices is particularly dependent upon the climate, wall-to-glass ratio, and specific glass selection. Analyses have shown that in some climate zones, exterior sunshading devices can significantly reduce the EUI, but an equal number of cases have shown that in some areas they provide no energy reduction whatsoever. In some cases, particularly in cold climates, sun-shade devices can actually increase the building's energy needs by cutting out too much of the desired winter heat gain.
In the third quarter, each team is presented with two internal-load energy-efficiency measures: daylight harvesting and a reduction in the lighting power density. Since there are only two options offered in this category, teams can select both of these internal options, or only one, plus one of the remaining building-envelope measures from the previous quarter. Because lighting roughly accounts for 30 percent of the building's energy consumption profile, and also contributes significantly to the energy-consumption profile of the cooling system, the modeling results quantify the tremendous effectiveness that internal load-reduction strategies have on building design. Teams who select glazing with a moderate visible light transmittance (T-Vis) and daylight-harvesting systems that turn off artificial lighting when there is adequate daylight find that the combination is essential for high-performance buildings—particularly in warm climate zones.
By the end of the third quarter, each team has witnessed the effectiveness of both teams' various strategies and is given the opportunity in the fourth quarter to revise all the decisions of the previous three quarters—massing, orientation, building-envelope measures, and internal-load strategies. Once each team has reached consensus on its design decisions, the results are modeled for the final time to calculate the reduced EUI and percent reduction in annual energy consumption from the baseline design. An energized dialogue among the team members is not uncommon as they debate which variants will yield the best results. Winning teams typically are able to achieve a 20 to 25 percent reduction in energy compared to the baseline ASHRAE 2007 model. This significant level of energy reduction is achieved without modifying the mechanical systems. The only item quantified with respect to the mechanical system is the reduction in the cooling tonnage that results from the passive-design decisions.
Energy modeling, once considered a tool of the mechanical engineer, is quickly becoming a necessity for the architect, especially for projects that are not fortunate enough to have a complete design team on board from the start. The modeling process provides a level of scientific rigor and quantitative data that is particularly helpful in communicating the logic behind design concepts that were previously difficult to justify. Its integration into the early phases of architectural design is critical to the design process, especially for firms aiming for the 2030 Challenge energy-reduction targets. A 20 percent or greater reduction in energy intensity, strictly through passive strategies, is significant. It places the project on a path to achieve extraordinarily low energy intensities while effectively reducing the size of the mechanical systems, and, more important, the cost of those systems. Such savings can be applied to highly efficient HVAC systems bringing the project within reach of the aggressive targets of the 2030 Challenge.

"Pacific Rim" is storming into theaters on July 12, but next week it will have a big presence at San Diego Comic-Con. Mondo is celebrating the release of Guillermo del Toro's latest film by premiering three new Comic-Con exclusive posters inspired by the project during the event.
The prints were unveiled by Entertainment Weekly, and will sell at Mondo's booth from July 17 to July 21. The posters were designed by Kevin Tong (above), Ash Thorm and Vania Zouravliov (below, respectively).
"Mondo has always been instrumental in cementing world creation in pop culture — these posters by Ash Thorp and Kevin Tong and Vania Zouravliov capture perfectly the wild, gleeful spirit of Pacific Rim — here's to a mad world of Mecha and Kaiju!!" del Toro says in a statement.
"Pacific Rim" follows a clash between giant human-commanded Jaeger mech robots and alien Jaeger creatures. These posters celebrate those battles, as well as recognize the human component of the story. It's the balance of those two elements that have critics so excited in early reviews.
Starring Charlie Hunnam, Rinki Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and Charlie Day, "Pacific Rim" is due in theaters Friday.

Australia | China | Hong Kong | India | Japan | Korea | Malaysia | New Zealand | Singapore | Taiwan | Thailand | Vietnam
The Inland Revenue has introduced a new page on their website "Tax schemes and aggressive tax planning" as part of its aim to assist taxpayers in "getting it right". The page sets out the Department's views on:
For more information please refer to this link below: http://www.ird.govt.nz/technical-tax/questions/questions-general/qwba-1103-it-ltc-interest-deductibility.html
The double tax agreement (DTA) between New Zealand and Hong Kong came into force on 9 November 2011.
The new DTA will provide certainty over the tax treatment of cross-border investment income for both New Zealand and Hong Kong investors. Business profits of a New Zealand resident company for example, will only be taxable in Hong Kong where they relate to a permanent establishment maintained in Hong Kong. The same will apply to Hong Kong resident companies deriving business profits from New Zealand.
The new DTA also introduces lower withholding tax rates on dividends (ranging from 0% to 15% depending on the shareholding of the parent company and certain other criteria), interest (10%) and royalties (5%). These rates are in line with agreements concluded with Australia and the United States.
The agreement also includes an OECD information exchange article which will allow New Zealand and Hong Kong to request and exchange information with their respective tax authorities.
The new withholding tax rates will apply from 1 April 2012. For all other New Zealand taxes, the DTA will apply for income years beginning on or after 1 April 2012.
A copy of the DTA can be viewed at the link below: http://legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2011/0354/latest/DLM3995501.html

S-58 (CH-34, UH-34, VH-34, SH-34, HH-34, S-58A, C, D, S-58T) Background Early development of the Sikorsky S-58 (H-34) helicopter was accomplished with company funds as a follow on for the S-55 (H-19) helicopter. It was twice as powerful as the S-55 and much more aerodynamic. It was marketed to the Navy and Marine Corps but the Navy chose the Bell HSL-1 helicopter and the Marines the S-56 (H-37) helicopter. Problems with both these programs led both customers back to Sikorsky to purchase over 1,000 S-58 helicopters in two configurations. The Navy Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) version SH-34J (HSS-1 and HSS-1N) was contracted for in June 1952. First flight was on March 8, 1954. A US Army order for the H-34A followed in 1955. Marines purchased a Utility version UH-34D (HUS-1) in 1957. During the following years, customers like the US Air Force, US Coast Guard, foreign militaries, and licensed production in France, Great Britain and Italy over 25 years swelled the number of S-58 Helicopters built to over 2,300 units. These aircraft went by many different models and nicknames:
Configuration Features The S-58 features a 56 foot 4 bladed main rotor and a 4 bladed tail rotor. Both main and tail rotor blades use the symmetrical NACA 0012 airfoil. The S-58 has a wind tunnel developed aerodynamic fuselage and a 4 bladed main rotor. Sikorsky chose a 4-blade rotor for the S-58 because it produced a lower blade loading compared to the 3-blade S-55 rotor and therefore would be able to fly faster before encountering blade stall. Another reason for the four blades was to reduce aircraft vibrations. The S-58 (H-34) set a speed record of 141.9 mph on a 100 Kilometer closed course on July 12, 1956. Clam shell doors on the engine compartment allowed easy access for servicing as well as expediting engine changes. The all-metal fuselage utilized magnesium skins in certain areas as a weight saving measure. Corrosion and the fire hazard experienced with certain S-58 models discouraged further use of magnesium for airframe components by Sikorsky on subsequent models. The conventional landing gear (main wheels in front, tail wheel in back) enhanced ground handling by greatly reducing the turning radius of the helicopter. The rear tail wheel also improved safety by making the tail wheel the first thing to hit the ground in a quick stop landing rather than the tail rotor blades. A manually folded main rotor and a folding pylon were provided to allow the helicopter to fit on aircraft carrier elevators. General Arrangement Drawing Sikorsky HSS-1 (SH-34G) Seabat Mission Systems 'SH-34G (HSS-1) Seabat The Navy SH-34J had dipping Doppler navigator, an AN/AQS-4/-5 dipping SONAR, and Automatic Stabilization Equipment (ASE), a helicopter autopilot system, which allowed the helicopter to achieve a hover and maintain position over the SONAR transducer without pilot assistance. The ASE equipment was a giant step forward for Anti-Submarine Warfare allowing missions at night and in low visibility conditions. Weapons carried included torpedoes (2), mines (2), or depth charges (2) UH-34D (HUS-1) Seahorse CH-34A (H-34A) Choctaw The Marine Corps and Army CH and UH-34 models carried 16 troops or 6 litters and a medical attendant. VH-34 models, operated by both the Army and the Marine Corps, were equipped with plush interiors, additional soundproofing, and air conditioning systems. Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy were transported in VH-34 helicopters. The Marine Corps took their UH-34D helicopters to Viet Nam in large quantities were they proved their worth as a tough and reliable machine. Commercial S-58\ The commercial version of the S-58 was FAA Certified on August 2, 1956. Chicago Helicopter Airways, New York Airways, Los Angeles Airways, and Sabena Airlines used a 12-passenger configuration for scheduled passenger service. It was also utilized by the petroleum and construction industries. Sabena S-58C Helicopter Commercial S-58 The commercial version of the S-58 was FAA Certified on August 2, 1956. Chicago Helicopter Airways, New York Airways, Los Angeles Airways, and Sabena Airlines used a 12-passenger configuration for scheduled passenger service. It was also utilized by the petroleum and construction industries. . S-58 with Hot Dog Floats in Gulf of Mexico S-58 Building Power Lines General Characteristics and Performance
Production History Military The first flight of the S-58 was on March 8, 1954. Four prototype helicopters (XHSS-1) were built for testing. The first production SH-34G (HSS-1) flew on September 20, 1954. The SH-34G entered Navy service in August 1955. The first Army model CH-34A (H-34A) unit was operational in September 1955. The Marine model UH-34 D (HUS-1), a utility version of the S-58, entered service in February 1957 Foreign Military Sales S-58 helicopters were provided to over 23 foreign countries through various military assistance programs and direct sales. S-58 helicopter were operated in various configuration by, Argentina, Australia (Westland), Bangladesh (Westland), Belgium (Sud), Brazil, Brunei (Westland), Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Ghana (Westland), Great Britain (Westland), Germany, France (Sud), Israel, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, South Vietnam, Thailand, USSR (Russia), and Uruguay. Commercial The Commercial Model of the S-58 received FAA Certification for Airline Service in August 1956. Chicago Helicopter Airways, New York Airways, Los Angeles Airways, and Sabena Airlines operated a 12-passenger configuration. Commercial S-58 helicopters were also used in utility roles hauling external cargo the heavy load placement at construction sites. When production at Sikorsky ended in January 1970 a total of approximately 1,800 S-58s of all version were manufactured. Close to 600 additional helicopters were manufactured under license in England, France, and Italy. Twin turbine engine S-58T . S-58T in Lider Taxi Aereo Livery In 1970, Sikorsky set up a production line to remanufacture S-58 aircraft to the S-58T configuration which included replacing the R-1820-84 Radial engine with a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT-6-3 Twin-Pac® Turbine engine. FAA approval for the modifications was received in April 1971. Sikorsky also produced kits which allowed S-58 helicopter operators to convert their helicopters to the S-58T Configuration. The addition of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT-6 Twin-Pac® Turbine engines provided the reliability of turbine power, twin engine safety, and increased lifting capability at higher temperatures and altitudes. The R-1820 engine of the S-58 provided maximum power up to 700 feet. The PT-6-3 Twin-Pac® provided the same power up to 6,000 feet. The turbine powered S-58T in forward flight with one engine inoperative was able to continue flight at maximum gross weight up to an altitude of 5,000 feet An improved version the S-58T, the S-58T Mark II, added a more powerful engine which improved one engine inoperative capabilities and installed a bifilar vibration absorber which reduced rotor induced vibration. The bifilar provided improved pilot and passenger comfort and reduced aircraft maintenance. The Type Certificate, manufacturing rights, and support for the S-58/S-58T were sold to California Helicopter International in 1981. Related Models Sud Aviation
Westland Helicopters Westland Wessex HU.5 of the Royal Navy Westland Helicopters in the United Kingdom was licensed to build the S-58 helicopter. Westland elected to develop and build a turbine-powered helicopter on the S-58 airframe; The first Westland Wessex HAS.1 for the Royal Navy first flew on June 20, 1958. It was powered by a 1,450 hp Napier Gazelle turbo shaft engine. They entered Royal Navy service for ASW duties in 1961. In 1966 Westland rebuilt the Wessex HAS.1 models with 1,600 hp Napier Gazelle turboshaft engines, improved SONAR, and added RADAR with a Radome on the tail cone. They were redesignated as Wessex HAS.3 helicopters and entered service in 1967. A utility model HC.2 was produced for the Royal Air Force and the Royal Marines. The HC series (HC.2, HCC.4 and HU.5) were powered by twin Rolls-Royce Gnome engines. The Rolls Royce Gnome engine is a cousin to the General Electric T-58 engine and was built by Rolls Royce under a license from GE. The Wessex entered service with the RAF in 1962 and remained in service until January 2003. A Wessex HCC.4 provided transportation for the Royal Family from 1969 to 1998. The Royal Marine commandos used Royal Navy Wessex HU.5 helicopters for transportation. Westland built a total of 356 Wessex helicopters.

Before you hit the road for the upcoming holiday season or take another long business trip, prepare yourself (and your vehicle) by checking out two great online resources for do-it-yourselfers.
Auto Repair Reference Center is loaded with detailed repair information on domestic and imported vehicles from as early as 1945. Step-by step repair procedures include printable wiring diagrams and complete schematics. Technical service bulletins and recall information are provided, along with maintenance schedules and labor time estimates. The Troubleshooting section helps you narrow down the cause of a problem. It also contains Auto IQ, an interactive aid that uses audio, video and diagrams to explain how the various systems of your vehicle work.
ChiltonLibrary.com puts the same trustworthy information on your computer screen as in their car care manuals, but in an updated, redesigned format. This comprehensive database, which goes back to 1940, is updated monthly. Videos, animation and close-up photos and images enhance the written descriptions. Keyword searching, "breadcrumb" trails and nested tree menus make for quick and easy navigation. Another great feature is the use of "trouble codes" to help users identify what their cars' computers are signaling them.

Over the years I have spent thousands and thousands of hours in work shops, seminars, reading books, and listening to audio programs. My primary goal was to obtain an overview of the many philosophy's, beliefs and ideas about human growth and development, or more specifically human consciousness, that I could possibly obtain. From those ideas, I took what resonated with me and what I believed would help me in deciding how to live my life.
Many good ideas have come from my research and I have used them to better my life in many ways. There are untold numbers of wonderful techniques for expanding our abilities in self love, compassion, intuition, self healing, and creativity,
A process I would like to share with you is a technique to identify what is really important to you and help you identify your primary goals and purpose.
Let's start with an understanding of who/what we really are.
I love the Buddhist view of the self as nothing, a "No Thing." Buddhism teaches we are made up of everything, we are the universe, not a thing. The universe resides in our physical body and it functions much like the solar system. We are a fluid process, not a thing.
Our identity as a self, a personality, an ego, develops because of the experiences we have and the belief systems which forms from these experiences. The self , the ego, is nothing more than a tape recording of these life experiences. These recordings are not a real solid identity, a self, it is just a compilation of concepts. The recorded programs loop and play over and over within our conscious awareness. We are really an illusion, a false self which we believe is real.
Our personality is a "relational thing," not a solid fixed identity. We act and think in a particular way in each moment because of our recorded programs and the environment and circumstances which occur in the moment. We are never the same self, we change moment by moment, just as the water in a river changes constantly as the current flows. Most of us identify our self as being the ego, the smaller self, the illusion, but there is another identity available.
Our true identity is pure awareness, the consciousness, the observer of all our thoughts and feelings. Consciousness, mental energy, is pure positive energy which just exists, swirls, and waits for an intention to take that energy and mold it into something.
With this foundation of understanding, here is the technique for exploring your goals, potentials, and purpose using pure mental energy:
Use deep breathing and relaxation exercises to enter into a state of meditation. Close your eyes and focus your attention on your breath, watching it move in and out of the body, counting your breaths in circuits of 10 breaths each until you start to feel very relaxed.
Now use your pure positive mental energy, your imagination, to see yourself leaving your physical body. Imagine this is the end of this physical incarnation and you are returning to a state of pure conscious awareness, you have no body but are very much aware of every thing in the physical world. Feel yourself rise above your body, aware of everything.
Now take a moment to decide what you would want to do immediately as pure awareness. Who would you want to check on? What events would you be interested in? Who would you want to help from this higher state of consciousness? How could you help them from this position of pure awareness? Would you want to do everything for that person or mainly support them and help them along so they could learn to believe in themselves? What world conditions would you want to change? Stay with this until you feel that you know what you would do and then slowly return your awareness to your body by wiggling your fingers and toes and then open your eyes.
This exercise will show what is really important to us and what could be our primary goal or goals now. It can help us identify our passion. We don't have to wait until we crossover to be a positive influence or make a difference in the areas that mean so much to us.
Once we decide what is important, we need to take action immediately, show the universe this is important, keep putting our attention on the things that matter and take action steps so that life will conspire to support our endeavors.
If we want to write, we must write. If we want to play a musical instrument, we must make efforts to play. Is there a cause we want to put our attention on? We must go to the places that people involved in these things would go to, become fully invested in our interests.
The pure positive energy, which we simply float in, much like a fish floats in water, is available to all of us equally but we must decide to use it by continuing to take steps in the direction of our desires and interests.
After this meditation, write down all that you can remember so you have a record of what is important to you. These mental ideas vanish quickly, much like a dream, so recording them immediately is important. I hope many things are revealed to you and that you live your passion each day.
May you feel inspired, motivated, and sure of yourself as you confidently move in the direction of
your desires.


text: Louisville native Honeychild Coleman has been an enigma since she made her move to NYC, confounding critics who tried to place her music into the neat little boxes we so desire. On this long-awaited full-length (after a decade of EPs and guest-appearances), Coleman is still not making it easy for us. Ranging from middle-of-the-road alternative ("Friend," aching for film placement) to the hip-hop influenced "Headlock" to Massive Attack-y ambience like the title cut and opening track "Callus," the album's cohesion is not thematic or musical, but the gumbo of her adopted Brooklyn. This isn't exactly club music, nor is it a headphone masterpiece, though I'm still caught up in the album's strongest points. Fans of Georgia Anne Muldrow, Res, Bjork and the like would be well served by checking this one out. Writer and musician Greg Tate described her best as "Miriam Makeba meeting Bjork in the Sex Pistols' basement." I find myself wishing Louisville had a subway so I could ride to this on some odd Friday at 3 a.m., the setting where I imagine much of this album was conceived.

Overheard downtown…
"Ray! How you doing, man? I just heard the news that you went out of business. I'm awfully sorry. Look, if there's anything I can do…"
"Thanks, but I only have myself to blame."
"I mean, I tried to keep up with the work, but it's hard concentrating on quotas and inventory management, and keeping up with all the new concert schedules."
"I know what you mean. The new routings seem to be popping up all over. I just read that Randy Travis and Kenny Chesney are both going out."
"And Sum 41, Umphrey's McGee and Chemical Brothers just announced new dates. No, I'm afraid I just wasn't cut out to be my own boss. Plus, I'm buried in debt."
"It's not easy running your own business."
"You're telling me? Hardly a day went by when I thought I should do something more constructive than look at the new dates for Sizzla or browse the new schedule for Entrain. But I couldn't pull myself away from all those listings. Meanwhile, the work kept piling up."
"Did you ever try one of those seminars? You know, those self-motivational lectures?"
"Oh, yeah, but nothing worked. No matter how hard I tried, the schedules for Burt Neilson Band and Spookey Ruben kept distracting me. And to be honest, I never could get fired up about the business."
"Is there any chance of a reorganization or restructuring the business plan? "
"I wish. In fact, I had appointments with several consultants, but I never kept them. I'd be half way out the door when suddenly I'd notice a new listing for JGB Feat. Melvin Seals or new dates for Unwritten Law and Jewel. No, I'm afraid the business is dead in the water."
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"I'm not sure. The lawyers are taking up most of my time. That is, when I'm not looking at the itineraries for Branford Marsalis, Morgan Heritage and John Scofield. Guess I'm just going to have to beat the streets and look for a new job. You know, see what I can dig up."
"Good luck."
"Thanks, but at my age, I'm afraid potential employers see me as just another stiff in a cheap suit looking for someplace to plant his keister. Oh, well, I dug my own grave and now I have to lie in it."
"At least you're being honest about it."
"What else can I do, Joe? And do you know what the worst thing is? It was a family business. Handed down from father to son, uncle to nephew, until it fell in my lap. No, I guess I just wasn't meant to run a crematorium."
"I'll bet your relatives are ticked at you."
"Probably, but I wouldn't know."
"You mean…"
"That's right, they haven't found them yet."

City, nature blur when wildlife visit
When my neighbor put a squirrel feeder in the tree beside our backyard wall, news spread fast on the squirrel grapevine. Masses came, bounding along the low wall to feast on the peanuts she'd put in there.
Click-clang went the contraption's metal lid every time they grabbed a nut. Click-clang at midnight. Click-clang at 5:30 a.m. Click-clang, click-clang, click-clang. The feeder, of course, sat directly below our bedroom window.
We live in a row of townhomes in Costa Mesa – far from what I'd call the great outdoors – but my husband and I had glimpsed opossums, raccoons and coyotes from time to time. A hummingbird once nested in our bougainvillea. Wildlife never stuck around. But these squirrels, they weren't going anywhere.
A crash course in wildlife society
Here I got my first nature lesson: Squirrels don't share.
Squirrels chased each other up and down trees and away from the feeder. They chirped and swished their bushy tails.
Soon a leader emerged. My neighbor, Dee, called her Sizell. (Dee names most backyard visitors. The raccoon that pilfers cat food is Otis.)
Around this time, we got a puppy, a Pomeranian we named Roxy. Only a tad bigger than Sizell, she was a chicken-hearted defender of our backyard.
Many afternoons, Sizell would sit on the wall cracking peanuts. Below, Roxy paced and yapped uselessly. Occasionally, Sizell crept down the tree trunk, taunting Roxy. Roxy would run inside.
They wasted hours at this. Meantime, our yard looked like a legion of baseball fans had snacked their way through nine innings.
What Sizell didn't eat, she stored, mainly in my flower beds.
Furry hoarders leave plenty of holes
And, here, my second nature lesson: Squirrels aren't good at geography. In Wisconsin, there's winter; in sunny Southern California, there's not. Even so, they salted away nuts.
Professor Joel Brown, a squirrel expert from Chicago, said hoarding makes sense in every climate because we humans are an unreliable bunch. "Sometimes we toss food around, sometimes we leave garbage cans open and sometimes we don't," he said.
At first, watching the squirrels pat dirt around their buried treasure was really cute. Then their digging killed the impatiens.
My mom said to plant marigolds, a natural pest repellant. Those died, too.
But something was growing.
Little farmers grow their own crop
And here my third lesson: Even unshucked peanuts grow. A Georgia peanut farmer confirmed I wasn't seeing things.
"It'll sprout and make a plant and put out about 40 more peanuts," farmer Alex Hardy said. " 'Course, we plant them out of the shell."
I called my mom again. She gave me a recipe for a potent brew: red pepper flakes steeped in water and white vinegar. I sprayed it on the tree trunks, flower beds and planter box.
It worked. This summer, I grew tomatoes, not peanuts.
In the yard, a balance between man, nature
Time passed, and Sizell became a mom. With her nest across the street, Dee worried that the back-and-forth might be the end of Sizell and her litter.
But now her offspring make the trek. To them, an endless nut supply is the natural order of things.
One bounded right up to Dee. "The little one, it was just like 'Hello, hello,' " Dee said. "It just doesn't know."
Turns out, scientists have named this phenomenon "urban wildlife syndrome." (I'm not making this up.) As animals get used to us, we're not so scary. It happens with squirrels, coyotes, blackbirds, raccoons and northern water snakes, scientists say.
Dee hasn't seen Sizell in a while, unless "she's gotten her girlish figure back and I don't recognize her."
In Sizell's absence, new squirrels have arrived, like Irvine, who spent an hour last weekend chirping at Roxy.
Recently, my husband re-sodded our itty bitty backyard. For a day or so, the lush grass looked like the world's tiniest golf course, complete with divots courtesy of the squirrels.
I chase them off the grass, but I don't think I'll concoct more red-pepper repellant – at least until next tomato season.
Is our yard the great outdoors? Is it the 'burbs? Who knows.
It's our yard, but it's their yard, too.

text: Ten same-sex couples were selected in a lottery Monday to receive some of the first licenses issued under the new Washington state law allowing gay marriage. Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman held the lottery involving 15 couples that sought to receive their license at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. King County, which includes Seattle, also plans to start issuing licenses at that time but did not stage a lottery. Couples there will begin lining up at 10 p.m. Wednesday, and the county will issue licenses from 12:01 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Thurston County will close its office after the first 10 licenses are issued at 12:01 a.m. but will reopen for extended hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday. "This is a historic event in Washington," Wyman said. "We're very excited and we want to commemorate that event, and we look forward to giving all of these couples a license." Last month, 54 percent of voters approved Referendum 74 regarding a state law passed by legislators earlier this year that legalized same-sex marriage. The law had been signed by Gov. Chris Gregoire but was on hold pending the outcome of the referendum.

From the reading I've done, it seems like there is a degree of risk regardless of which SOAP stack you use, unless you can guarantee that your clients and servers are using the same one. If you have something that works sufficiently well for your target audience already, I'd be tempted to leave it as is. The SOAP:: Lite Changes file has a fairly comprehensive list of the changes between 0.60 and 0.69 if you want to see what you may be missing out on - in particular, there seem to have been a substantial amount of changes around the 0.65 revision(s). Hope that helps. In reply to Re: Which version of Soap::Lite for writing document/literal web services?
