Jefferson And Brigham And Women's Researchers Find Blue Light Important For Setting Biological Clock
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston and Jefferson Medical College have found that the body's natural biological clock is more sensitive to shorter wavelength blue light than it is to the longer wavelength green light, which is needed to see.
The discovery proves what scientists have suspected over the last decade: a second, non-visual photoreceptor system drives the body's internal clock, which sets sleep patterns and other physiological and behavioral functions.
"This discovery will have an immediate impact on the therapeutic use of light for treating winter depression and circadian disorders," says George Brainard, Ph.D., professor of neurology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. "Some makers of light therapy equipment are developing prototypes with enhanced blue light stimuli."
"In the long range, we think this will shape all artificial lighting, whether it's used for therapeutic purposes, or for normal illumination of workplaces, hospitals or homes – this is where the impact will be," he says. "Broad changes in general architectural lighting may take years, but the groundwork has been laid."
In theory, he says, "If a clinician wants to use light therapeutically, the blue wavelengths may be more effective. If you wanted built-in illumination that would enhance circadian regulation, you might want this wavelength region emphasized. It is interesting that natural daylight – the blue sky – is rich in this part of the spectrum."

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
With the flesh, we serve the law of sin. . .
In what doctors term 'hallucinations,' the carriers of delirium tremens and other neural synapsical disturbances see their alcoholic and narcotic sin crawling as black insects on their flesh, or feel the insects crawling under their skin. . .their skin, their flesh is host to what we can then call *sinsects.*
This is a truer picture of Satan at work than LaVey-esque clowns clad in black robes tonguing each other in analingus orgies. . .
Those sinners who in horror claw at their own skin, desperate to tear out the sinsects, are absolutely convinced of the alien presence of an Adversary living in their flesh. . .
There are those sinners, with scabs on their arms, legs and chest, who come to recognize their bondage to the sinsects. . .they cry out to God for help. . .I am speaking generally of the 12 steppers. These are not, for the most part, Christians. . .they do not go to God through Christ, but an empty bottle. But by admitting their captivity, they mimic certain of the principles of Christianity. . .and they benefit from a kind of Christian placebo effect, whereby they achieve a stalemate with the Adversary, through extreme self-mortification.
The 12 steppers have the victory of changed behavior. . .but the Adversary still tempts the flesh. This stalemate is tenous, at best. The coffee communion Temples of the 12 Steppers are full of faithful who must confess to *falling off the wagon,* succumbing again to the Adversary's temptation. . .
Of course, Christians suffer the same. Most who follow the Way are well-acquainted with the *back-slidden* condition.
The Apostle Paul was given the remedy for the law of sin:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Unfortunately, this has become one of the most misinterpreted scriptures in the New Testament. Christians mistake *walking after the Spirit* as the remedy for sin. This is not a cure for sin. It is the pardon from the Law of Sin and Death. It frees us from the eternal consequence of sin. . .but while we wander the earth as pilgrims and strangers, we are still locked in the flesh, our eternal treasure stored in earthen vessels. Hence, we continue to be plagued by sin.
With a misinterpretation of the above scripture, Christians make the cross of Christ of none effect, for by mistaking the above passage as the remedy for sin, they believe if they only *walk after the Spirit,* they will gain victory over sin. In a great spiritual disaster, Christians then end up mimicking 12 steppers: they attempt to *walk after the Spirit* by an effort of their own will. To these misguided souls, walking after the Spirit means *trying hard not to sin* (which is, of course, walking after the flesh. . .and which puts the Christian once again under the Law of Sin and Death).
And trying hard not to sin is exactly what unbelievers do when they diet, quit smoking, or stop themselves from exposing their genitals to schoolyard children. And Christians, through an effort of will, likewise try to make sinful flesh *good.* But they earn no genuine victory over sin, they only temporarily succeed in changing their behavior. . .for the sinful desire remains. And sooner or later the Christian, like the 12 stepper, will *fall off the wagon.* And the process begins all over again, with the guilt-laden Christian trying even harder to *walk after the Spirit.* The Christian thus condemns himself to a lifetime of self-mortification and failure. The Christian existence becoming a wearying war between flesh and Spirit. And from the shame of defeat in hidden sin, hypocrisy arises to discredit the faith in the eyes of the unbelievers.
Where is the peace of God, which passes all understanding, and which is supposed to guard the hearts and minds of Christians?
Is the Christian life really nothing more than a grim struggle of the will to not be an addict, fornicator or any other kind of sinner?
What is the answer to the sin question? How to be free of the circle of the defeat of the will?
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
What is the answer to the sin question? To admit the absolute weakness of the flesh. To admit the impossibility of excising the desires of the flesh through our own *will power.* God must supernaturally deliver us through faith in Christ's cross-won victory over sin. We can *try hard* to master sin, and fight the losing fight between spirit and flesh, and our life becomes a joyless grind. Or we can be honest, admit our sin, admit our weakness and helplessness to master it. . .and then rejoice in that weakness! For therein is our victory.
Most attribute the Apostle's *thorn* to a physical infirmity, and not a sin of the flesh, but it matters not the exact nature, since all physical infirmity is ultimately the result of the sin nature we are born into.
Therefore, we must turn our sin over to God, and trust Him to deal with it through the strength of Christ. If the victory doesn't come in this life, no matter, the glory to come will be that much sweeter!
What shall we say then? Shall we continue to sin, that grace may abound?
No. But neither shall we continue to live by our will.
At heart, *walking after the Spirit* by *trying hard to not sin* is an act of pride. The sinner's faith is in his own effort. He trusts his own flesh more than the cross of Christ. But God does not reward man's pride. David Wilkerson commented:
Pride is independence—humility is dependency. The humble Christian is one who makes no move, no decision, without counsel from the Lord. The Bible says the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord, but He cannot order the steps of an independent spirit. This is all to say—God wants full control—give it to him.
God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. . .
All manifestation of filthy desire lives in my flesh. But I no longer scratch and claw at the sinsects which swarm me. Instead, I rejoice in their presence, knowing Christ's strength is sufficient. I've lived a life of failure in the flesh. My best efforts were fruitless. Now I rest from *trying hard to be good.*
Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
I give up *trying to be good*. . .I give up trying to appear good. . . For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. . .I am a sinner who can only be saved by the Blood of the Lamb. I'll rest in the knowledge that any victory over sin comes not through my will, but through the triumph of Jesus Christ on the cross:
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross. . .
Plagued by sin, I confess that I am captive to sin and cannot free myself. I have sinned against God in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done and by what I have left undone. I have not loved God with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbor as myself. For the sake of God's Son, Jesus Christ, I ask God to have mercy on me, to forgive me, renew me, and lead me, so that I may delight in His will and walk in His ways, not my ways, to the glory of His holy name.
And if the sinsects crawl over me all my days—so be it. Nothing is lost. It is only maggots feasting on the body of this death.

You know, one of the biggest misconceptions I see out there is the sort of thing you talk about in this post: folks think that a simple act of willpower, of human effort can change those fundamentals flaws. Just look at all those "rugged individualists" who think that anybody who can't pull themselves out of a shitpool is a total waste. They don't realize how effete the human will can really be...that the only legitimate renewel comes from HIM.ReplyDelete
And we have the same problem with *repentance,* too. People mistake an emotional reaction of sorrow and a few apologies plus a pledge to *try harder* for repentance. . .but their mind remains the same. They have the same attitude. Only God can grant true repentance, the 180 degree mind shift. . .ReplyDelete
A few tears (and not from the hurt caused to others, but the hurt of being caught) and a few 'I'm sorries' are worthless. . .an empty ritual performed by all, believer and unbeliever alike.
Christianity has become theater. . .the believer has to *act* a certain way. . .
Christianity is dead in Europe, and dying in America, because it is in word only. . .just a script followed by the pew-warmers.

Maybe it's my think skull. . . . and believe you me, I understand at least some of what you are saying with this post. . . . but there is this thing where I really despise my acts (and myself, unfortunately) because I KNEW/KNOW BETTER!!!ReplyDelete
Within that feeling of "I KNEW/KNOW BETTER!!!" is some true repentance. Some true regret. And neither of those are predicated by being "caught" or whatever. We're all caught anyhow.
Some of it can be explained as vanity, yes. Vanity and Pride, I believe, are my two greatest shortcomings. Not that either are a bad thing, but the extreme I've taken it to is disgusting.
But I truly believe I'm sincere when I think of something (I'm serious here) I said to an elder or friend or enemy years ago and feel anguish because of my cruelty.
The only true renewal is through Christ and we will always fall short. Perhaps it is my pride speaking but I believe we should always strive to do better. To try.
Without Christ, there is nothing, that is sure. He is Numero Uno. Giving up is almost impossible for me.
Again, maybe that's the pride talking.
Unfortunately, our modern Christendom has confused regret with repentance.ReplyDelete
Repentance means having a new mind. . .a completely different frame of reference.
What most of us Christians now practice as repentance is just the repentance of Judas. Judas regretted what he had done, he felt so terrible, he killed himself. But he did not have a new mind. He still had doubt about Christ. . .he had no faith in Christ as the redeemer. . .he tried to pay his own sin debt by sacrificing himself. . .his faith was in himself, not Christ. This is the kind of repentance most Christians practice today.
As for trying to do better, if we have to try, then that tells us everything, no?
As the great prophet Isaiah observed, all our good works are as filthy rags.

Bukowski may have said it best on his gravestone with, "Don't Try."ReplyDelete
I can't help it and my "repentance" is likely a Judas like repentance cloaked in the drag of something legitimate. . . . but then again, I've long had a soft spot for Judas.
Weak, immoral, greedy, regretful. . . . add Thomas and it's probably me.

You ain't alone in that boat, brother!ReplyDelete
I'm met certain people in my lifetime - few and far between, of course - that seemed...well...disinclined towards malice or any other serious transgressions..."Prince Muishkins" of the world, ya know. They probably had their hidden flaws, like the rest of us, but I imagine those blessed few come as close to "goodness" as our fucked-up, morally-damaged natures will allow.
Unfortunately, I have never been one of those people. Hell...at times, I think my emotional detachment from others borders on sociopathy, or whatever "borderline" personality term they use these days. It takes a helluva strong jolt to move me, but hey, I've just always been like that
Weak, immoral, greedy - you've got most of us pegged in a nutshell!

Well - maybe "sociopathy" is a strong word to use, but you get the drift. -- SilasReplyDelete
Wilkerson had this on his blog today:ReplyDelete
I have been greatly impacted by the biography of Hudson Taylor. Taylor was one of the most effective missionaries in history, a godly man of prayer who established churches throughout China's vast interior. Yet he ministered for years without joy. He was downcast over his struggles, agonizing over secret longings and thoughts of unbelief.
In 1869 Taylor experienced a revolutionary change. He saw that Christ had all he needed, yet none of his own tears or repenting could release those blessings in him. Taylor recognized there was only one way to Christ's fullness: through faith. Every promise God had made with man required faith. So Taylor determined to stir up his faith, yet even that effort proved vain. Finally, in his darkest hour, the Holy Spirit gave him a revelation: faith comes not by striving, but by resting on the promises of God. That is the secret of tapping into all of Christ's blessings.
Taylor forgave himself for the sins that Christ had said were already cast into the sea. And because he rested on God's promises, he was able to become a joyous servant, continually casting all his cares on the Lord.

I looked up Hudson Taylor on wikipedia and this quote from a letter of his struck me: "If I had a thousand pounds China should have it- if I had a thousand lives, China should have them. No! Not China, but Christ. Can we do too much for Him? Can we do enough for such a precious Saviour?"ReplyDelete
Pretty amazing guy.

A conviction was upheld for a man possessing materials of cartoon child pornography.
Defense of artificial child pornography may epitomize the libertarian framework. Many are deeply offended at such a position, because they see the production and consumption of such materials as deeply offensive and always immoral.
The libertarian position though, easily enough, recognizes that there is no actual victim in the production or consumption of artificial child pornography. No child is harmed in any way from these materials. Still, lots of people have an instant and visceral revulsion to allowing such materials, even though they cannot articulate that anyone is actually harmed.
Opponents may argue that allowing such materials promotes the production and consumption of actual child pornography, or paves a path to actual sexual predation, but we have laws that exist precisely prohibiting those activities, because there are actual victims associated with those crimes. So, here we have two conflicting camps of jurisprudence as the foundation for the larger disagreement. There are those who believe in a collective responsibility and advocate that government take preemptive action to prevent crime, as against those who believe in individual responsibility, where only people who actually commit crimes against others are held accountable for their actions.
The real, actual crime is the action that harms another person. If preemptive action is accepted as a legitimate tool to protect people, what totalitarian measure could not be justified?
Of course, the possession of artificial child pornography may serve as legitimate probable cause to search for real child pornography. It's plausible that there's a link between artificial child pornography and real child pornography or sexual predation, but Whorley is not being convicted of any such crime. He is being imprisoned for an activity that involved no victim.
I don't think that I need to clarify that any previous conviction should be irrelevant.

Let's begin by placing both words good and bad in quotations. "Good." "Bad." This will help you to understand where I am coming from. Probably no one will read this anyway because I don't read other people's blogs (I know, sinner!) but there's enough people scrolling through random blogs on the internet, who knows?
Ever since youth people have made what to me is easy appear to be hard. In order to assimilate, I began to act as if those things were truly hard, suspecting perhaps I didn't "get it," wasn't "doing it right" otherwise. The added downside of this is that TRULY easy things for everyone I treated as hard too. My brain did not differentiate according to social customs. I had lost my identity. When I could have breezed through so many situations, out of some sense of guilt, so as to not make others feel bad about their lacking abilities, I pretended to struggle.
I did the same thing with morality. In order to understand where other people were coming from, I compromised my own inclinations. Morality is such a vague topic. It's pretty subjective, truly depending on the individual's motives, knowledge, abilities and whatnot. (This is why the quotations). I noticed people void of sincerity and sensitivity and good intentions doing acts conventionally viewed as good. I myself as a sincere sensitive good natured person was punished for doing "bad" acts such as running away and smoking cigarettes. How were those bad? They didn't hurt anyone. The church flier that "good" person left on a total stranger's door, haggling his different belief system, how is that good? How is doing what people tell you good and refusing to do what they tell you bad? Obviously if someone is telling you to murder someone, obeying authority is surely going to destroy your soul. So this schism developed and with it this incessant need to test boundaries, test morality and reality.
I first tested if conventionally viewed acts of badness could be administered from a good person who had no selfish motivation, who was simply curious. I wondered if the universal outcome would be altered depending upon the intent. I wondered if it was possible to go against one's own heart while knowing one is doing it. Without knowing the nature and consequences of "evil" I would never be able to put my faith in "good." Threats never worked for me. If you are motivating me to do good so that something bad doesn't happen and you seem like a total moron to me, I'm not going to take your words to heart. If you're screaming at your math class but going to church, I'm going to question everything.
I learned that if you do bad things as an experiment, you still suffer consequences, but because there is no malicious intent, only the simple intent of learning, the consequences are less severe. The Forces That Be as well as my fellow humans are more understanding. I also learned that, yes, it is possible to go against one's own heart. I saw desire in people motivating them to such an extent that they were unaware of it. The desire and their actions were one. This disturbed me. How is anyone going to see clearly if no one can separate the two? So I divided those within myself. For instance, I had a beautiful journal at fourteen bought with my own precious money from a quaint store with one-of-a-kind things. I spent several minutes admiring it on the floor, stroking its cover, opening it up, staring at its blank pages. I asked myself then, what dictates that just because I love this journal I will not harm it? I see people hurt those they love all the time. What dictates their behavior? I know I don't want to hurt this journal. I really want to keep it nice. Am I dictated by a law beyond my control as those other people seem to be unable to separate desire from action or can I overcome my own desire and act unaccordingly? I began miming bending the cover back, reviewing the process over and over. It was so surreal. I wondered if matter would wall itself off, protect itself. But it didn't. I snapped it back, in half, staring at what I had done, feeling sad. I threw the journal away the same day I bought it, never writing a word in it.
This was my first major lesson in departure, the first of many many more to come. The flipside of knowing how to depart from your own desire is that I can now depart from truly evil intents as well. I can depart from either good ones or bad ones. I'm a master of my own will.
I have done some pretty "bad" things with no bad motivations whatsoever, trying to get people to understand it is not what we do, it is who we are. The bad person singing choir songs is still bad. The good person robbing a home is still good. The heart is the heart.
Feel free to disagree.

As long as we've had a cat and lived in this house (nearly fifteen years of both those things being true), we've had a very nice feeding station set up in the kitchen. It has a placemat, a bowl of food, and a ceramic bowl of water. This is the spot Maggie always used.
When Eddy came to live with us, we set up his station (with kitten food) a few feet away, in a corner just inside the dining room. This is where he ate until Maggie passed away. Eventually, we moved him into the kitchen, as it was more out of the way.
After we gave Beso and Luna run of the house, we set up their station in that same part of the dining room. The thinking is that the prime kitchen spot is the one for the Senior Cat, with the other location for the Assistant Cats.* As they moved from kitten to adult food, we simply kept a pair of bowls of the same stuff out. They could use both bowls.
Cats, as always, have their own ideas.
Eddy defaults to the bowl in the dining room. He's happy to share with the rest of the coalition, however, if he's going to be eating, it will be in the dining room. Beso and Luna show a preference for that bowl, but will eat in the kitchen if it is empty.
Eddy, on the other hand, gets quite distraught if that bowl is empty (or really, really low). He'll fuss to get me to check. I usually point out to him that the other bowl has plenty of food. Eddy, however, will nip at my feet to get me back to "his" bowl. If it is the normal bowl-filling time, I might fill it. However, I might also swap it with the bowl in the kitchen. This solves his primary complaint (the empty bowl), but I don't have to give in. Everyone wins!

MARY JANE AUSTIN,PLAINTIFF,v.ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, FATHER JOE'S VILLAGE, AND HUD, DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Irma E. Gonzalez, Chief Judge United States District Court
Plaintiff commenced this action on April 27, 2011, alleging her civil rights were violated. [Doc. No. 1.] Along with her Complaint, Plaintiff submitted a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Having considered Plaintiff's request, Court GRANTS Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis, but DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff's Complaint.
All parties instituting any civil action, suit, or proceeding in a district court, except an application for writ of habeas corpus, must pay a filing fee of $350. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). However, an action may proceed despite failure to pay the filing fee if the party is granted an in forma pauperis ("IFP") status. See Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). TheCourt may grant IFP status to any party who demonstrates that he or she is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
In the present case, having reviewed Plaintiff's motion and declaration in support of motion, the Court finds that Plaintiff has made a sufficient showing of inability to pay the required filing fees. See Rodriguez, 169 F.3d at 1177. Accordingly, good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
II. INITIAL SCREENING PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)
After granting IFP status, the Court must dismiss the case if the case "fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted" or is " frivolous." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B); see also Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1126-27 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc) (noting that 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) "not only permits but requires" the court to sua sponte dismiss an in forma pauperis complaint that fails to state a claim). A complaint is frivolous "where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (superseded on other grounds as stated in Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1126 (9th Cir. 2000)). Where a complaint fails to state "any constitutional or statutory right that was violated, nor asserts any basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction," there is no "arguable basis in law" under Neitzke and the court on its own initiative may decline to permit the plaintiff to proceed and dismiss the complaint under Section 1915. Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1106 (9th Cir. 1995).
As currently pleaded, Plaintiff's complaint fails to state a cognizable claim and is frivolous to the extent it lacks an arguable basis in law or fact. The Complaint consists of one paragraph, which fails to allege any facts establishing a cause of action against Defendants:
Plaintiff alleges: that the defendants did conspire to violate her Constitutional Rights by threats, if plaintiff exposed defendants had violate privacy torts and did not carry out those threats which did cause plaintiff to suffer severe medical problem and harm which is a violation under Title 42 § 1985 & 1973.
See Compl.
Even affording Plaintiff's complaint the special consideration given to pro se claimants, her allegations fail to present facts sufficient to support a cognizable legal theory against Defendant. Although the Court must assume Plaintiff can prove the facts she alleges in her complaint, the Court may not "supply essential elements of the claim thatwere not initially pled." Ivey v. Bd. of Regents of the Univ. of Alaska, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982).
Based on the foregoing, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), but DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff's complaint as frivolous and for ...

A Tour: Addie's Room
It is finally done! (minus 2 little things that aren't important enough to my readers to wait on)
We have been working on Addie's room since right after the new year and just put finishing touches on it this past weekend.
This tiny room is 8×10 and was previously my office. Here is a before:
We ripped out the carpet and put Pergo Laminate floors down (we as in my Hubs and his dad) in an oak color and painted the walls a green color (Valspar's Gilded Pesto).
View from the hallway:
Embroidery Hoops with fabric that coordinates with the crib skirt: (Amy Butler Midewest Modern II)
View towards the doorway:
Changing table/ Dresser:
Sweet Sweater my mom knitted and my diaper bag:
Little booties also knit by my mom: (They are so tiny and the button holes actually work!)
Rocking chair and pretty blanket knit by a sweet friend:
Painting done by my sister (aka Aunt Ham):
Addie's closet with the beginnings of a good wardrobe:

This past weekend we took off and headed north from Antigua the the lush green department of Alta Verapaz to the hidden travelers hang out near Las conchas. This is a place that we had heard about for years but just hadnt for whatever reason found the time to get out and check it out. It had always be rumored to be what Semuc Champey was before the tourist crowds had taken it over and made it a mainstream Guatemalan dstination of the "Gringo Trail."
No, no, this place is legit! It is a bit far removed from Antigua but perfected placed in the middle of the country to become THE stopover spot on an overland trip between Antigua and Tikal or the Rio Dulce.
Las Conchas definitely lived up to all the hype that had been circulating about the remote jungle river and cave system.
We loaded up the 4x4 and rolled out to our friends hostal on the Rio Chiyu just downstream from Las Conchas. We set out not only to take advantage of cold beers, jungle swimholes and jumping off the staircased waterfalls but to create an all-in-one tour of this area of Guatemala that is not focused on Semuc Champey and the overrun town of Lanquin.
What we found was pretty amazing! A short pick up truck ride away from the lodge is the trail head to the Setzol caves system. Its an hour hike through the lush forest to the entrance of Setzol where a beautiful river emerges from the cave. We spend an hour or so exploring this cave before heading further down the trail to yet another cave that seemingly no one knows the name of! This cave still has Mayan artifacts inside, making it a truly special place.
Our recee trip has turned into a new classic Old Town Outfitters tour called the "caves and waterfalls" tour. Get in touch with us and join onto our next adventure to Las Conchas before it gets turned into another Semcu Champey!

A study done by Nicholas Epley from the Learned of Chicago tells us all believers take for granted God agrees with what they do about a armed forces of non-related issues. We know this. And its unembellished. If this study shows us whatsoever at all it ought make believers less unambiguous of what they pontificate about. In fact, this study falsifies anticipate itself, for impart is no unbiased way to make plain what God thinks, if he exists at all. Believers unknowingly start their own religion, their own Gospel, and their own God in their own image.
Introduce is something moreover, a few corollaries that coerce painted." What believers take for granted about God is furthermore what believers take for granted that God thinks about God." Why not? Not decently this, but "what believers take for granted about God is conditional on what they take for granted of their parents and themselves to a excellent even." The real causes of ones beliefs are in the order of never addressed and in the past thats the obscure believers cannot effort real solutions in the role of they arent to be found in the Bible. In the Bible refinement who are selfish, irrepressible, prideful, licentious, divisive, vengeful, wary, sluggish, liars, unmanageable, un-pure in heart, and who cannot love their enemies, are unknowingly told not to be related that. [Yes, yes, I know, the New Shrine promises Gods Holy Spirit to help, but if thats the obscure in addition to why didnt he let somebody in on his atmosphere more capably so that eight million Christians would not brag slaughtered themselves happening and in the wake of the Protestant Reformation?] In any obscure, I take for granted this can be hardened because it comes to the seeming "spiritual gifts" Christians clutch to brag been exclusive by their God.Edit more >>

A New Hero in Town?
Inspired by somehow getting invited to take part in LGS3, I've started a new hero blog. You can see it and heckle me at The Adventures of Ciera and Co.
Please be kind...I'm new at being a hero! :)
From a long time ago, all the way to the 24th century- spread out to galaxies far, far away and even planets closer to home. From the cities of Earth, like New York City and West City, to the great cities of Coruscant and Neptonian. Here, the men, women, mutants, aliens, elves, hobbits and those other odd creatures of the bloggersphere boldly go where no blogger has gone before. For one may not always be a hero, but one can always blog...

Sunlight EQUS - Bone Measurement for Racehorses
Sunlight EQUS is a diagnostic ultrasonic device designed specifically for bone assessment of racehorses. Stress fractures during training are a major problem for these valuable athletes and their owners. Using EQUS, veterinarians can accurately estimate the injury risk of the individual horse and plan training and nutrition schedules around this knowledge. As the only device of its type available, EQUS can result in considerable savings for racehorse owners, by preventing injuries and avoiding the necessity to destroy costly horses who have suffered devastating injuries.
A Proven Method for Tracking Racehorse Bones
A number of clinical studies have shown that measurement with EQUS can accurately differentiate between injured and healthy horses and predict injury risk of horses based on comparison with a normative database. Measurement with the device is precise, reproducible, and independent of the effects of soft tissue and hair. Research has found that measurement with the device reflects both bone mineral density and mechanical properties of bone, presenting an accurate picture of the bone properties that affect injury risk.
The device uses the proven Omnipath technology and proprietary software used by Sunlight Omnisense™ 7000S, along with a unique equine reference database and a physical configuration designed for use with the equine population.
On-the-Spot Testing
EQUS is designed especially for use in stables. The portable EQUS carrying case permits simple set-up of the device in the stable, alongside the horse to be measured. The horse can be measured in a standing position without the need for sedation or prior shaving of the measurement sites. Measurement with the device is non-invasive and radiation-free, and requires only minimal operator training.

Patanjali Honey Orange Face Wash Review
Hi Lovelies,
From skincare to cosmetics; we all love to buy products which are hydrating and moisturising in winters. Since the season of dry and cold weather has come and it's time to tweak my skincare routine.
This winter I bought Patanjali Honey Orange Face Wash to show my skin some love. In today's review post, I will be talking about my experience with this face wash to all of you.
Price of the product: Rs. 45 for 60gms.
What the product claims:
Patanjali Honey Orange Face Wash is a unique blend of natural herbs and honey. It is a 100% soap-free deep cleansing gel, specially formulated for the oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin. Tulsi and Haldi are the natural antiseptics, it removes impurities and prevents pimples and acne. Mulethi gives freshness. Aloe and honey make soft, smooth and help to glowing skin.
Products Highlights:
- Moisturizes, cleanses & rejuvenates skin.
- 100% soap-free formulae.
My experience with the product:
The packaging of the product is nothing fancy with a flip top, designed with oranges and honeycombs on it. But, the tube of face wash is compact and sturdy for the purpose of travelling.
The face wash is orange in colour and has a thick gel-like consistency. It is lightly fragranced which will not irritate sensitive noses.
I would like to tell that my skin type appears to be normal in winters. Though the product claims that it is made for oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin. But it is a great blend for my skin too.
I found out that the product is good for dry, sensitive, normal, combination and a little bit of oily skin type. The face wash is good to be used in winters because it will not help extra oil/sebum secretion in summers.
The product lathers into a decent amount and does help fight acne a bit but not too much. After using this face wash; my skin always feels fresh and brightened up.
- Affordable product.
- Easily available.
- Travel-friendly.
- Good face wash for winter/autumn/spring season.
- Does not dry out the skin.
- Lathers into a decent amount.
- Fights acne to some extent.
- Soap-free formulae.
- Though the product is made for oily skin but it does not control oil/sebum secretion on the face.
Will I repurchase it?
The product is a good handy option for everyone in winters. I would definitely like to buy it next time.

Quark Pharmaceuticals released results of a phase II trial of QPI-1002 for the prophylaxis of delayed graft function (DGF) in deceased donor kidney transplant patients. The multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, prospective and double-blinded study evaluated the clinical activity of QPI-1002 (administered as 10mg/kg single bolus IV dose at 30 minutes after circulatory reperfusion is achieved to the transplanted organ) in end-stage kidney disease dialysis-dependent patients undergoing
deceased donor kidney transplantation. QPI-1002 treatment significantly increased the dialysis-free survival (time to first dialysis) in the first post-transplant month (Log rank p=0.04), reduced the mean duration of the first course of dialysis (13.4 v. 25.3 days) and reduced the number of dialysis sessions required in the first 30 days post-transplant (6.0 v. 11.2). By the end of the six-month study observation period, the total number of dialysis sessions in all efficacy evaluable patients treated with QPI-1002 was 1.5-fold lower compared to placebo group (375 v.. 561 p=0.059).
Isotechnika reported positive top-line results from a phase IIb trial of voclosporin for the prevention and treatment of kidney transplant rejection. This randomized, multicenter, open-label, concentration controlled, dose ranging study, dubbed PROMISE, enrolled 334 subjects who had recently undergone kidney transplant surgery in the US and Canada. The subjects received three different doses of voclosporin (0.4 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg, and 0.8 mg/kg twice daily) or tacrolimus control (0.05 mg/kg twice daily). Voclosporin and tacrolimus were administered over a six month period along with other standard immunosuppressive therapies used following transplantation. The primary endpoint was defined as non-inferiority in biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) episodes between the treatment arms. This endpoint was met in all three voclosporin dose groups, showing voclosporin is as efficacious as tacrolimus. In the low dose voclosporin arm, 11% of subjects had BPAR, in the mid-dose arm, 9% had BPAR and in the high dose group 2% had BPAR, compared to 6% of the subjects in the tacrolimus arm. Secondary endpoints, including incidence of new onset diabetes mellitus (NODM), kidney function, electrolytes and neurological effects, were reached as well. A statistically significant lower incidence of NODM was seen in the low dose voclosporin group (1.6%), compared to tacrolimus (16.4%), translating into a 90% reduced risk of developing NODM (p less than 0.05). Although not statistically significant, the mid dose group had a clinically meaningful lower incidence of NODM; the high dose group was not clinically different than tacrolimus. Kidney function was well preserved in each of the three dose levels of voclosporin relative to tacrolimus and no significant differences were noted between the treatment arms. The low dose voclosporin group showed a statistically significant reduction in the number of incidences of elevated triglycerides compared to tacrolimus with a 55% risk reduction (p less than 0.05). The mid and high dose groups showed a 24% to 30% reduced risk of elevated triglycerides. Voclosporin also showed trends to a reduced incidence of insomnia and tremors at the six month time point as compared to tacrolimus. Based on the results Isotechnika plans to move forward with phase III trials.
Life Cycle Pharma issued positive interim results from a phase II trial of LCP-Tacro, an immunosuppressant for the prevention of organ transplant rejection in kidney transplant recipients. This three sequence, open-label, multi-center, prospective, conversion study has enrolled 10 stable kidney transplant recipients to date. Once enrolled, the subjects received Prograf, an approved therapy, for seven days. Following a 24-hour pharmacokinetic study on Day seven to determine pharmacokinetics for Prograf, all subjects were converted to once daily LCP-Tacro for seven days with no dose changes allowed. On Day fourteen and Day twenty-one, a 24-hour LCP-Tacro pharmacokinetic study was to be performed. On Day twenty-two, subjects were to be converted back to their original twice daily dose of Prograf for a safety follow-up period of thirty days ending with a safety assessment on Day fifty-two. Interim data showed LCP-Tacro demonstrated a superior profile when compared to Prograf, including better pharmacokinetics, once-a-day tablet formulation and higher bioavailability. Based on the results, the company remains on track to continue with the enrollment of subjects and plans to initiate phase III trials in 2008.
Fujisawa Healthcare reported positive results from a post-marketing trial investigating Prograf in combination with Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) in pancreas-kidney transplant patients. Results show that subjects receiving induction therapy reported significantly higher kidney survival rate, (92.0%, vs. 81.6%) than those receiving no induction therapy. There was no difference in the pancreas survival rate between the two groups. The 3 year, randomized, multicenter study enrolled 174 subjects and was conducted to assess the effect of antibody induction in SPK transplantation patients receiving maintenance immunosuppression with Prograf, MMF and a steroid taper. Half the subjects received induction therapy and half did not. Results were presented at the 2003 American Transplant Congress.
Isotechnika reported positive results from a phase IIa trial investigating ISA247, an immunosuppressive for the use in kidney transplants. Results showed that all of the primary and secondary endpoints of the study were achieved. Data demonstrated that stable kidney transplant subjects on ISA247 experienced no change in kidney function when compared to subjects taking cyclosporine. In addition, data also demonstrated that ISA247 achieved a level of immunosuppression comparable to cyclosporine at one-third the blood drug concentration. One of the secondary endpoints, the incidence of graft rejection, was designed to monitor safety parameters in kidney transplant patients receiving ISA247. The open label, randomized, multi-center study enrolled 132 subjects at twenty sites in Canada and the United States.
Interim phase II trial results indicate that treatment with SangStat's Thymoglobulin results in fewer acute kidney rejections compared to treatment with Novartis' Simulect (basiliximab). Data showed that the incidence of acute kidney rejection was 2.5 times greater for Simulect-treated subjects compared to those who received Thymoglobulin. The randomized comparative trial examined Thymoglobulin versus Simulect as induction therapy in high-risk kidney transplants. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of severe adverse events between the study arms. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board has decided to close the study early based on the interim analysis.

Hello again!
After having been postponed for some time (i.e. procrastination) I can finally share with all of you the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, also known as the G-trainer. Located at Darwin Fogt's Evolution Physical Therapy in Playa Vista, CA, this machine does wonders for anyone and everyone. Included in this blog are pictures and videos. I apologize ahead of time for the echo-y audio on the first video...I'm no Scorsese!
One thing I failed to ask Darwin in the intro video was exactly what the G-trainer does! In a nutshell, it applies pressure inside the bubble which in effect lifts you up, thus minimizing your body weight. In other words, it allows you to have the same type of cardio workout you would otherwise receive on a regular run, but with a decreased amount of impact, because you are only running at a percentage of your body weight.
Onto the good stuff...
Darwin Fogt, MPT, President of Evolution Physical Therapy
I began using it because I had an excruciatingly painful patella tendinitis issue. In order to keep my running fitness up without further aggravating my patella, I would run workouts on the g-trainer at 65% my body weight. Slowly over a three month period, I increased my body weight to a point where I could restart my regular outdoor run training. I liked the g-trainer so much that I decided to incorporate it into my weekly training regimen as a precautionary measure. Now I use it twice a week – once for a medium paced run, and once for a hard effort run, both at 90% my body weight. As a result, I can thankfully say I have been injury-free since I started using this amazing machine a year ago!
G-trainer Prior to Inflation
G-trainer After Inflation
G-trainer in Motion
I wound up having a great session on the g-trainer. A ten minute warm-up at 6:15 pace, a ten minute push at 5:00 pace and then ramped it up to 4:45 pace for another ten minute push, immediately following the previous one. I ended with a ten minute warm down, slowly decreasing my speed while gradually bringing my body weight back up to 100% (from 90%).
Anyone interested in fighting back injuries while at the same time maximizing fitness, would be a fool not to try the g-trainer. At Evolution Physical Therapy, it's merely $30 for a 25 minute session and $60 for 55 minutes. Not a bad bargain considering the price tag for one of these puppies is $75K!!
I apologize again for taking so long to post about the g-trainer but good things come to those who wait, right???
Thanks for checking in!
Talk soon.

Good Morning & Happy Saturday!! 🙂
We accomplished SO much yesterday with all of our wedding meetings. It was definitely worth taking the day off of work to schedule those meetings.
Our first stop was to our venue- which is located at…
Walt Disney World…where dreams come true- LOL! Sorry the picture is blurry, I was trying to take it as we were driving in & my steaming HOT coffee spilled all over me. 😦 Of course I had white shorts on too- great right?! At least it wasn't too bad!
We got all of our questions answered & feel a lot more comfortable about everything. You see the person we were working with LEFT in December from our venue. So we were freaking out for a while because they did NOT tell us who our new contact was. It took the venue about a MONTH or more to finally figure out who they were going to hire for that postition. Let's just say it was a lot of uneasiness for us for about a month. We finally got to meet her in person (I had been emailing her for a while) & she is fantastic!! Very sweet & promised to do EVERYTHING she can to make our day perfect 😀
I just need some help from you guys, if you don't mind 😉 For our ceremony, I am not sure what to do with our ours. Here is a picture of the chair:
For the reception, I am just thinking of getting purple linens to tie around them- no chair cover, just the bow. Just because the linens are EXPENSIVE $$$$- I had NO idea how much linens are– just take a look:
Chair tie (which is what I want to get): $2.10 – EACH
Chair cover: $5.25- EACH
Table linen: $22.05 – EACH
That is just crazy expensive to me. Mind you, these are all based on approximately 120 – 130 people. (that is how many people we are expecting to be at our wedding) It is crazy how FAST things start to add up.
So, my question to you, is what would you do for those chairs picture above for the ceremony? Here are some ideas I had– (remember, my flowers are ALL sunflowers- so even though the pictures are not all with sunflowers, that is what I would use):
*Just big purple bows
*Just some kind of ribbon/ tool/ lace design on the end chairs
*Some kind of flowers bunch/ design to each of the end chairs
These are just some of the ideas that I had…but I would LOVE to hear your imput as well. I would LIKE to be able to hand make these. My florist actually recommend even using silk flowers for these, since you really cannot tell that they are fake flowers anymore. They just make silk flowers so well now a days.
After meeting with our florist, who might I add is AWESOME & the prices are SOOOOOO fantastic that we signed up on the spot for her to be our florist! We put the deposit down as well, just to make sure she doesn't have any one else for that weekend…since she only does ONE wedding a weekend. So we are good to go 🙂
Next up was cake tasting!! The best part, of course 😉 I even told Craig that I was going to eat a light breakfast so I could fill up on cake- lol! Gotta live it up- this only happens once in life 😀
I have the idea of the cake that I want, I just have to narrow down the design. It is going to be a 3 tier cake. Here are some ideas:
*Just instead of the hay looking stuff, I will use purple ribbon around the bottom of the tiers.
*Just purple & black ribbon, instead of the orange ribbon
*It is a little too busy for me, I would not use AS many sunflowers on the cake, but I like the square design.
*I think this one is my favorite one so far- I would just use purple for the swirl design & then maybe another sunflower added to it.
Which one is your favorite? Any tips/ ideas- let me know 🙂
Now– for the tasting- I was so surprised at how they did this. They actually made us a WHOLE cake of the 3 different flavors that I had picked out. It wasn't different slices, but a WHOLE cake. The cake had stickers on the sides to indicate the flavors.
I selected red velvet, chocolate/ vanilla marble & vanilla cake with raspberry filling. They also let us take the cake home to sample & just told us to let us know which one we liked best & if there were others we would also like to try. They were SO nice!!
Let the tastings begin 😉
They were all really good, but our favorite was the vanilla with raspberry filling. Red velvet is my favorite cake normally, but I am in just MAJOR fear that Craig will decide to smash the piece of cake all over me…and, well, so long to my white dress. 😦 Deciding to STAY away from any red cakes- I'm even gambling with getting a raspberry filling- haha 😀
Look at our cake after the sampling:
Let's just say we had a GREAT day off!! 😀 I spent the rest of the afternoon with my friend Cori- just having a girls afternoon. It was a lot of fun & much needed girl time 🙂
Well, now I'm off to hit the gym! It is MUCH needed after all of that sugar yesterday!! Then it looks like we will be laying out to get some sun – the weather is so nice. I hope you enjoy your day too 🙂

a bean, a green, and a grain
Who else enjoys rhyming alliterations?
this is my vegetarian cat named Little Boy, or more commonly known as Bruzzer, stealing kale off my counter top during my photoshoot
Anyway. I've been struggling to come up with combinations to fill a common vegan dinner plate guideline, which is to include a bean, a green, and a grain. Then I remembered that I already make something that fits the bill perfectly. My grandma's is the original version, technically an escarole and bean soup, but mine is nearly exact except for the fact that I can never find escarole so I end up using kale or chard, and that I do not add pureed beans to thicken it into a soup, instead I just mash a few with the bottom of a jar in the pan while it's cooking. I like to eat it on toast instead of a soup with a spoon. I really like making this dish for other people, it's surprisingly easy and delicious, and can be made for a large number of people at a time.
Like anything I cook, this isn't an exact science. You might like less garlic or salt, just figure out what tastes best to you and season to that.
(Serves 4) Ingredients:
6-10 cloves of garlic
two cans of cannellini beans, or 32 ounces cooked dried great northern beans
olive oil
salt, pepper
red pepper flakes
vegetable stock
kale, or chard, or escarole, or any dark leafy green
Slice garlic thinly
Coat bottom of a deep, large pot with olive oil
saute garlic in olive oil and add red pepper flakes, a tsp is mildly hot, half a tbsp is really hot!
add beans, if using canned, rinse the beans and do not add water with beans
add between 1/2-3/4 cup of vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
use a can or jar or anything you have to smash some the beans, but leaving some of them whole, the ratio is up to you!
cover beans with kale, and stir to combine
if mixture is too thick to incorporate greens, add more vegetable broth
cook on medium heat until heated through and greens are wilted and tender
turn your oven's broiler on
drizzle bread with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper
put bread in oven under the broiler until brown and crispy
serve beans with bread
I love this dish during the winter, with a glass of white wine and a green salad. It's got protein, fat, and carbs, plus whole grains, leafy greens with lots of nutrients, and a lot of flavor. It's the best with sourdough bread, but I'm trying to stay away from bleached flours and stick with flour-less whole grain bread, which is why I have dorky triangles of toast instead of luscious golden brown, olive oil glazed sourdough pieces that I love so much. Carrrrbssss….
I am going to Utah for my 25th birthday this Thursday through Sunday, to visit my cous-sister Nyki. She's graciously opened her kitchen to me and told me that she and her boyfriend Dallas will be eating completely vegan during my stay with them, I am so excited! I'll be posting lots of fun pictures of us in SNOW OMG SNOW, and all of the fun vegan things we will undoubtedly make together!
If anyone is actually reading this, how am I doing?

A few nights ago, I was laying in bed searching for a movie to watch on my Kindle Fire. I know, a 7-inch screen isn't the proper way to watch a movie, but my wife was asleep and the laptop was soooo far away (about 20 feet). I've had Indie Game: The Movie in my Instant Queue for about a year, so I finally decided to plunge into it. Of course, I had no intention of watching the entire thing, but damn it if it didn't suck me in. So I watched the whole thing. Indie Game is as it should be – a fun look into the world of video game developers who work outside of the big studios to produce games without interference. It focuses on two games being prepared for launch: Meat Boy designed by Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, which is about a skinless boy who is trying to save his girlfriend Princess Bandage from evil Dr. Fetus and Fez designed by Phil Fish (who is featured prominently in the film) and Renaud Bedard, in which "you play as Gomez, a 2D creature living in what he believes is a 2D world until a strange and powerful sentient artifact reveals to him the existence of a mysterious third dimension."
Here's what Meat Boy looked like (it no longer is available as the creators have since brought out Super meat Boy):
Here's what Fez looks like:
Video games are the highest grossing form of entertainment in this country – more than movies, more than music – be they on a console (like an XBox, Wii, or Playstation), web-based or PC like Warcraft, or mobile games like PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies. So it's no surprise to see a film like this tackle the nuances of the industry. What McMillen, Refenes and Fish have in common is they don't want to work for a big studio like Electronic Arts. They want to create the games they want and that can't be achieved under the thumb of a huge corporation like EA, much in the way that independent filmmakers don't want studio producers giving them shitty notes on how to make a film more marketable.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of these two teams as they struggle to complete their games for release or demo at a trade show showing all of the emotional ups and downs that they encounter along the way. Team Meat are basically given given about three weeks to complete their game so they can debut it on XBox Live Arcade (XBLA), so they struggle to complete the design and test the game to make sure it's ready, which isn't the easiest thing to do as McMillen and Refenes live on opposite coasts (Santa Cruz and North Carolina).
Fish's situation is a little different. His game isn't complete yet and he is in a dispute with the co-creator of Fez, who has left their company Polytron Corporation. Fez garnered a ton of buzz when it won the Excellence in Visual Art at the Independent Games Festival in 2008, but Fish and his co-creator (who was never named in the film) struggled to complete the game, literally redoing it three times. After the co-creator left, the game was in legal limbo. As Fish has nearly completed the game, he wants to debut it at PAX, Penny Arcade Expo, but without the signature of said co-creator allowing him to do so, he risks incurring a lawsuit and having to pack up his booth before he even shows off his game. Should he or shouldn't he? Oh, and to add to the misery…the co-creator is going to be at PAX to show off another game he has designed. So when he makes his choice, another set of headaches come his way further complicating the situation.
The stakes are pretty high for these three gentlemen. Money is running out for all of them. McMillen's spent basically two years seated in front of his computer and he's worried that it's affecting his relationship with his wife, who is actually extremely supportive and just wants a hairless cat as a pet . Tommy is worried about his parents debt and just wants to help them get out of the red. Fish has to worry about whether he missed the opportunity to build on the buzz he created 3 years prior, if people will still be interested in playing Fez.
Directors Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky use a very effective structural tool by having Jonathan Blow, creator of the super-sensation Braid, detail portions of his success and the troubles he had with producing such a successful game. By interspersing these tidbits from Blow throughout the the film, it gives us a nice chance to keep both of the stories of the Fez team and Team Meat separate and coherent. Blow is especially eloquent in how the success of his game wasn't what he expected, that he expected more people not just to like the game on a surface level, but to really get the deeper meaning of it and how it depressed him when those expectations weren't met.
So we see the two trajectories of these teams head toward their endgame. Team Meat finishes their game just under the gun, but encounters issues when Microsoft/XBox neglects to put the game in the download arcade for the first 8 hours of the release day. And Fish finally gets his former co-creator to sign off on the rights issues with Fez, but in his demo at PAX, the first player at his booth encounters a game breaking bug. Does it all work out for them? I guess you'll have to watch or do some research.
This is a really fun movie even if you aren't into gaming (which I am not). Getting a glimpse into this world is both fascinating and alienating. The dedication that these gentlemen put into their visions of these games, which are really extensions of themselves, is AMAZING. The amount of work that goes into these games is stunning and to put them together at all is a tremendous accomplishment. That it's possible to make millions of dollars for doing it makes it all the better.
This film does stream on Netflix.

The box office smash that is Avatar exploded onto our cinema screens in stunning 3-D just a few months ago, and it seems to have swept the nation, becoming one of the most talked about films since James Cameron's last true epic, Titanic. After the film picked up nine nominations and three awards at March's Oscars, I decided it was time I found out what the big fuss was about.
Being in my usual fashionably late style, I was too late to catch the film in 3D at my local cinema in Coventry, and had to take a long bus ride to nearby Leamington to watch it in all it's 3D glory.
The first question I have to ask my self is, is it really worth all the hype? And to be honest, I'm still undecided on that point. Whilst the visual effects and cinematography are certainly second to none, I can't help but feel the story gets a little lost in the stunning scenery.
Make no mistake; this film is worth going to see purely on visual merit. Creating an entire new world, complete with exotic colourful banshees and the infamous blue "Avatars", the CGI in this film is exceptional, and it pulls the viewer into the planet of Pandora, where the Avatars reside. We follow Jake Sully, a paralysed ex-marine who replaces his brother on a mission to infiltrate with the people of Pandora, called the Na'vi.
As Jake learns the traditions and ways of the Na'vi people, we learn with him, and as he slowly falls in love with the colony's back-to-basics way of life, the viewer does too. Here Cameron creates an entirely new cultural existence, in fact, when I came out of the cinema, I found myself wishing that I could be an Avatar!
In a way, I got the impression that Avatar was trying to be all things to all people, a bit of a jack of all trades, if you will. At times I have to admit that I felt the culmination of action, romance, fantasy and sci-fi felt a little clumsy, although the storyline did work well. And, as a result of this merge of genres, the film certainly has something to offer everybody.
So, was it the movie to redefine movies? No, I don't think so. Was it an enjoyable, exotic piece of escapism for a few hours? Yes. At a little under three hours, the film is slightly overlong, but worth a watch none the less, if only to see what all the fuss is about!

The MLI requires boards to make the decisions
BEPS' Multilateral Instrument (MLI) came into effect on June 7. Articles 12 to 14 of the MLI include changes to Permanent Establishment rules which impact fund directors. Directors will have to show that they are making 'material modifications' to funds, according to the MLI.
The principle behind BEPS' rules on Permanent Establishment, Action Plan 7, is to align a company's economic activity with where it pays its taxes. It is intended to stop companies using low tax jurisdictions as a location to book profits. Companies will need real and demonstrable substance there in future.
Of importance to the alternative asset management industry, and particularly to fund directors and the jurisdictions in which they reside, is how tax authorities are going to interpret Articles 12 to 14 of the MLI. Those in the industry that The NED has to about this believe the changes to Permanent Establishment rules means that funds will need to be able to show that their directors are real decision makers.
To read more on this story see the June edition of The NED.

Who defines value?
This week in my Bibical Life Skills class I had the students describe a beautiful person and a handsome person. Their answers ranged from "sexy eyes" and "no pimples" to "American height" (in other words, tall), "nice hair," and "nice skin."
I then asked that if they did not possess all of the qualities they had listed, were they still beautiful? Some said yes, some said no.
The point of the lesson was that we do not determine who is beautiful or valuable, even of ourselves or of others, but our Creator God does. He made us, so He gets to decide our worth and He says we are priceless.
Each of us as His work of art bears His signature - His image. In this we are unlike any other part of His creation.
Our beauty and value are not determined by what we look like, by what we do or don't do, by what we achieve or do not achieve, by who we know or do not know, but by our Loving Creator. He has the final say.
I love the following video because it is a wonderful reminder that He can turn what some might esteem as "worthless trash" into beautiful treasure, to produce "music" for Him, bringing Him glory and praise.

Efficient sales mean bigger margins, which improve the bottom line. Here are five steps to beef up your sales program:
One Click Sales Tracking
Owners of small and medium size businesses don't often think sales automation is a tool for them. But without the bells and whistles, the software can be affordable and can help manage your sales funnel, give you an instant view of where sales stand, and show you where salespeople are in the process.
If you decide to invest in this kind of software, here's what you can expect:
Final Analysis: The tool won't create sales or generate leads. It enhances sales and helps your employees operate more efficiently.
1. Consolidate sales routes.Reorganizing your sales circuit can let your staff visit more than one customer on each trip.
2. Focus on trophy customers. If your top customers haven't bought anything for, say, 90 days, find out why. Offer them a well-crafted plan aimed at their long-term needs and introduce the plan as a new feature just for them. Include discounts, premiums and extended warranties.
3. Cut the paperwork. You hired your sales staff to spend time selling, not sitting at a desk doing paperwork.Design an electronic or manual form where the sales staff fill in a few simple entries and then hand the form over to administrative staff.
4. Light a fire. Anyone can sell popular items. The real challenge is getting revenue from new items or stock that hasn't taken off. Replace across-the-board commission rates and motivate your sales force with higher commissions on new products or "tough sells." You might even consider reducing the commission on popular products or services that seem to "sell themselves."
5. Revise commissions. In addition to paying commission that's tied to the difficulty of the sale, consider commissions based on:
- Actual customer payments rather than billable orders.
- Increased sales to current customers.
- Increased order sizes.
- Delivery of items when customers prepay.
- The number of new customers.
Setting up a compensation plan based on measurable financial goals lets your sales staff see and understand the value of every transaction.

Perl Manuals
Main Page
0.3. What's in This Book
Here is the breakdown of what we cover in this book:
Chapter 1, "Hello, Perl/Tk"
The first chapter contains some interesting history about the Tk module, introductory comments, and the obligatory Hello World program.
Chapter 2, "Geometry Management"
Geometry management is probably the most important concept in using Perl/Tk. It determines how your widgets are drawn on the screen. Four geometry managers—
, and
— are covered here. Most of the examples in the book use
Chapter 3, "Fonts"
You can easily make effective use of fonts in your Perl/Tk applications using Font objects. This chapter shows you how to utilize Fonts and what options are available for changing them. Several small applications are covered that demonstrate the use of Fonts.
Chapter 4, "Button, Checkbutton, and Radiobutton Widgets"
The Button widget is the first we cover, and we supply lots of details. There are tons of code snippets and screen shots showing different ways to manipulate the Button widget. Many of the options we discuss are common among the other standard widgets. In addition to the standard Button widget, we'll look at two derived variants: the Checkbutton and Radiobutton widgets.
Chapter 5, "Label and Entry Widgets"
The Label widget is the simplest of all. It is usually used with an Entry widget, which is why they are included in the same chapter. Typically, the Entry widget accepts user input, and the Label identifies the input. Perl/Tk has a special Tk::LabEntry widget that we'll examine in detail.
Chapter 6, "The Scrollbar Widget"
Certain widgets in Perl/Tk can be scrolled, which means they can contain more information than you can see on the screen. Scrollbars are used to navigate the data inside these widgets. This chapter tells you how Scrollbars communicate with each widget and how to create and use them. It also illustrates the
method, which automates Scrollbar creation.
Chapter 7, "The Listbox Widget"
A Listbox widget can contain any sort of data, but it usually contains a list of options from which the user can select. In this chapter, you'll learn how to create a Listbox, fill it with some items, and change the way the user selects items from the list.
Chapter 8, "The Text, TextUndo,and ROText Widgets"
The Text widget is a versatile widget you can use for many purposes besides just displaying text. This chapter covers the different things you can put inside a Text widget (such as text, images, or other widgets) and how to get the best use out of them. The derived TextUndo and ROText (Read-Only Text) widgets are also discussed.
Chapter 9, "The Canvas Widget"
A Canvas widget can display objects such as circles, rectangles, text, images, and even other widgets. This chapter covers all the options and methods available, and shows how to use them.
Chapter 10, "The Scale Widget"
The Scale widget is great for giving the user a range of numbers from which to select so that users can't type in numbers out of range or type in letters accidentally. This chapter includes examples of the Scale widget and covers all the methods available for setting it up and using it.
Chapter 11, "Frame, MainWindow,and Toplevel Widgets"
The Frame and Toplevel widgets are used to organize your other widgets on the screen to get the look you want. This chapter shows how you can use Frames and Toplevels in coordination with a geometry manager (covered in
Chapter 2, "Geometry Management"
) to make your windows look the way you want them to. We also look closely at the MainWindow, which is a specialized Toplevel in disguise.
Chapter 12, "The Menu System"
Once an application gets complex enough, you will need to put a Menu in it. This chapter shows different ways to create menubars and pulldown, popup, tearoff, and option menus, and how they can best be used in an application. We also cover menu virtual events and briefly examine pie menus.
Chapter 13, "Miscellaneous Perl/Tk Methods"
There are many methods available for all widgets in Perl/Tk. We cover them in this chapter and show you how to use them. The two most important of these methods are
Chapter 14, "Creating Custom Widgets in Pure Perl/Tk"
Creating custom widgets is sometimes the only answer to a problem. This chapter covers all the details, including the Tk class hierarchy, and gives you several examples of composite and derived mega widgets to examine. You will find details here that appear nowhere else in the known universe. Featured widgets are Tk::Nil, Tk::CanvasPlot, Tk::LabOptionmenu, Tk::LCD, Tk::NavListbox, Tk::Thermometer, Tk::CollapsableFrame, and Tk::MacCopy.
Chapter 15, "Anatomy of the MainLoop"
This chapter explores the inner workings of Tk's event loop, including timers, I/O, mouse and keyboard events, bindings, and callbacks. Featured modules are Proc::Killfam, Tie::Watch, Tk::Trace, Tk::bindDump, and Tk::waitVariableX. Featured widgets are Tk::ExecuteCommand, Tk::MacProgressBar, and Tk::Splashscreen.
Chapter 16, "User Customization"
This chapter describes how to use the comand line and option database to customize your Perl/Tk application.
Chapter 17, "Images and Animations"
This chapter covers the various image types and how to use them. We examine Bitmaps, Pixmaps, Photos, and compound images, and touch on tile, transparency, and animation issues. Featured widgets are Tk::Animation, Tk::PhotoRotateSimple, Tk::Thumbnail, and Tk::WinPhoto.
Chapter 18, "A Tk Interface Extension Tour"
A detailed look at all the Tix widgets and ways to use them effectively in Perl/Tk applications, including display items and display styles.
Chapter 19, "Interprocess Communicationwith Pipes and Sockets"
With care, pipes and sockets can coexist with Tk's event loop. This chapter develops two illustrative client/server programs.
Chapter 20, "IPC with send"
Tk provides an unusual IPC mechanism that allows Tk programs to send messages amongst themselves. This chapter describes Perl-Perl, Tcl-Tcl, and Perl-Tcl intercommunications, and discusses security considerations. We compute
with multiple processes and develop a Perl plug-in for
so that Perl and Tcl Robot Control Programs can do battle. Featured modules include Tk::Receive and Tk::TclRobots.
Chapter 21, "C Widget Internals"
This chapter shows how to write, debug, and package a Tk widget written in C, using the Tk::Square widget as an example.
Chapter 22, "Perl/Tk and the Web"
LWP is a Perl library for accessing the World Wide Web. This chapter develops a web client,
, that displays our favorite comic strips. It details various nonblocking mechanisms for both Unix and Win32. Featured modules are LWP::Simple, LWP::UserAgent, and Tie::Win32MemMap. We then describe the PerlPlus Netscape plugin, which allows you to embed Perl in Netscape and run client-side programs.
Chapter 23, "Plethora of pTk Potpourri"
This chapter is a grab-bag of miscellaneous information and simple widgets such as Adjuster, Balloon, BrowseEntry, ColorEditor, Dialog, DialogBox, ErrorDialog, LabFrame, NoteBook, Pane, ProgressBar, chooseColor, getOpenFile, getSaveFile, and messageBox.
Appendix A, "Installing Perl/Tk"
The Tk module doesn't come with the standard Perl distribution. This appendix tells you where to download the latest release and updates, and how to install them.
Appendix B, "Options and Default Valuesfor Each Widget"
This appendix lists all the options for every widget described in this book.
Appendix C, "Complete Program Listings"
This appendix includes complete code listings of sample programs that don't appear in the book proper.

The candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama II is NOT the President-elect yet.
There will not be a President-elect until the electoral college meets, votes, and that vote is certified by the United States Congress.
Electors and Senators are sworn to:
support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; and bear true faith and allegiance to the same
"Support and defend the Constitution of the United States" includes ensuring that any candidate they elect has met the Constitutional pre-requisites for the office of President of the United States:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Candidates for President must prove that they meet the three Constitutional prerequisites for the office of President.
The candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama II has yet to prove, using a certified Birth Certificate, that he meets the "Natural Born Citizen of the United States" prerequisite. Electors and Senators have a sworn obligation to support and defend our Constitution…that includes certifying that Obama was born a Natural Born Citizen and never relinquished his U.S. Citizenship to become an Indonesian citizen.
How important is this?
Obama has already said that he wants to change the Constitution.
Obama has already said:
But my journey is part of a larger journey – one shared by all who've ever sought to…bring an Empire to its knees.
Obama's book:
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming The American Dream
which has a perfectly straightforward translation, was instead translated:
Assault Hope: From Jakarta to the White House.
An American expatriate who has lived in Indonesia for many years says this title has connotations, for Indonesians, of jihad.
The candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama II lied when he said
My father, who I didn't know, returned to Kenya when I was just two.
He was either lying about not knowing Barack Hussein Obama (whom he did meet), or he was lying about Barack Hussein Obama being his father. Which lie was it?
On a very somber note, this two-year-old child was in the room when his parents were murdered by Jihadists.
Could it happen here?
Even worse, could we allow a potentially illegal alien (Indonesian) Jihadist to rise to the office of President of the United States without proving that he is Constitutionally eligible (as a Natural Born Citizen of the United States) to hold that office?

Lil Wayne Sued After Violent Skateboard Attack
More trouble for Weezy as he's on the receiving of a lawsuit after a man was hit in the head with a skateboard by one of Wayne's employees! Read on for all the details.
Lil Wayne's no stranger to trouble with the law, and the rapper's facing down a new lawsuit from a fan who claims that one of Weezy's employees bashed the man in the head with a skateboard — all for trying to take a measly photo!
The victim of the alleged attack, Alfredo Marino, has attorney Craig Chisvin file his lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court on Feb. 8. Alfredo claims that he spotted the rapper, 30, on the streets of L.A. in 2012 and attempted to take a picture. But before he could, a man who works for Weezy grabbed a skateboard and hit him in the back of the head.
In his lawsuiw, Alfredo claims he suffered a severe injury to his head as result of the assault, and is blaming the "Lollipop" rapper and his record label, Young Money Records, for the battery because he believes they were responsible for "enabling the attacker," TMZ reports.
Alfredo is suing for unspecified damages.
Lil Wayne's Recent Health Scare
The lawsuit comes just months after Lil Wayne had a health scare and had to be hospitalized twice for reported "seizure-like symptoms". He was first hospitalized on Oct. 25 after exhibiting the symptoms aboard his private jet. The plane made an emergency stop in Texas, where he was rushed to a local hospital, TMZ reported.
His rep told HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Lil Wayne was successfully released from the hospital after being treated for a severe migraine and dehydration. He is at home on doctor mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love."
The following day, he was reportedly rushed to the hospital again after exhibiting the same symptoms on a flight from Texas to Los Angeles.
Do you think Lil Wayne should be held responsible for this other man's actions, HollywoodLifers?
