In everyday German, any change or motion, any happening, can be called an Ereignis (although, like our "event," the word can hint at a special and unique quality). Heidegger's usages of Ereignis grow increasingly distant from this normal usage.The quote from GA 65 above, appears in the standard translation, in section 2, Saying from Enowning as the First Response to the Question of Being, like this:
In 1919, Ereignis refers to experiences that belong to my own, meaningful life. Such happenings are the norm, whereas objectified, meaningless processes are products of a theoretical attitude that is neither normal nor philosophically necessary. Even the Ereignis of the pre-worldly "something" is an accessible part of human life -- "a basic phenomenon that can be experienced in understanding" (P. 97). Both everyday, worldly events and extraordinary, pre-worldly events illustrate the workings of appropriation in human existence.
In 1936-38, Ereignis has become far more rare, perhaps even becoming a unique future possibility that has never yet taken place. Now it is life as we know it, at least in its everyday modern state, that is drained of meaning and consigned to the "confusion of unbeings" (GA 65). Only through a supreme effort might we begin to take part in the event of appropriation. Only an extreme emergency can illustrate Ereignis.
In 1962, Ereignis does not seem to be happening at all. It is a constant aspect of the human condition, even though philosophy up to now has failed to recognize it. Ereignis is already "appropriating" in ancient Greece -- and indeed, wherever and whenever human beings have existed. Far from being an extraordinary emergency, it seems to be a universal.
We call it enowning. The riches of the turning relation of be-ing to -Da-sein, which is en-owned by be-ing, are immeasurable. The fullness of the enowning is incalculable. And here this inceptual thinking can only say little "from enowning." What is said is inquired after and thought in the "playing-forth" unto each other of the first and other beginning, according to the "echo" of be-ing in the distress of being's abandonment, for the "leap" into be-ing, in order to "ground" its truth, as a preparation for "the ones to come" and for "the last god."In the first paragraph of his essay Mr. Polt, reasonably, describes the Contributions as "cryptic".
This thinking-saying is a directive. It indicates the free sheltering of the truth of be-ing in beings as a necessity, without being a command. Such a thinking never lets itself become a doctrine and withdraws totally from the fortuitousness of common opinion. But such thinking-saying directs the few and their knowing awareness when the task is to retrieve man from the chaos of not-beings into the pliancy of a reserved creating of sites that are set up for the passing of the last god.

Import Your MS Office Dictionary To A Different PC Or Fresh Install
Switching to a new PC is a daunting task that means installing lots of of apps again, and setting things up the way you had them on your old system. Setting up a new PC to work like your old one isn't an easy task but what's more time consuming is when your apps have to learn from scratch what your preferences are, or rather when you have to teach them that. This isn't that hard for apps that have an online service working at their backend but when we're talking about an app that functions entirely on our desktop with no way to export and import settings and user preferences, we run into a problem. MS Office now has an online version but it doesn't do much by way of importing or exporting settings and this can be a problem when you have something like the dictionary you created on your old system over the years. Here is how you can port your MS Office dictionary, complete with every change you've ever made to it, from your old PC to a new one.
You need to first find where MS Office has its database of words for the dictionary stored. Go to File> Options> Proofing> Customize Dictionary and click the Customize Dictionary button. In the dialog box that opens, note the location of the file called 'CUSTOM.DIC'. It should be something like this: C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof. Copy this file to your new PC.
After you've installed MS Office on the new PC, paste this file in the same location on it i.e. to C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof and MS Office will automatically start referencing the file when the spelling feature is in use. This works for if you've done a fresh install of the MS Office suite or if you're switching to a new system. It should also work for OS X though the location of the file may be different. You can open the Customise Dictionary dialog ox to determine it if you're using a Mac.

If you watch golf channels, you will see various beginner golf equipment pieces and sets advertised. The problem is these packages tend to include equipment that beginning golfers won't really benefit from or aren't ready to use. If you're interested in beginner golf equipment, it's best to start with a few basics and add pieces to that as you become better at the game.
The first piece of beginner golf equipment you're going to need to invest in is a golf bag. Golf bags, while not cheap, are a worthy investment especially if you intend to play the game for a long time. This piece of equipment is used to carry everything else. You'll need to keep a few things in mind when comparing brands, styles, and prices. First, and most important, make sure the bag is comfortable to carry. The next thing is whether you want a bag with a built-in stand, which we would recommend if you don't want to rent a cart or hire a caddy every time you play.
The final thing is to make sure it has plenty of room and organizational capacity to carry around the most important equipment for you to have with room to grow. Oddly enough, a golf umbrella happens to be an important piece of golf equipment. Despite where you play, there are storms from time to time. It doesn't matter if you feel you need protection from a little rain or not, the odds are good that your equipment does. Golf clubs are not cheap. It is in your best interest to shield them to the greatest of your abilities. Not considering the shaft material, the chances are decent that the club heads are not rust resistant. An umbrella is a minor investment which will repay you the first item you discover yourself in need of it.
Protective eyewear is the final investment beginners need to make. This is one thing that is often overlooked in importance when it comes to purchasing golf equipment by beginners. The fact remains that you play golf in elements and in the daytime. But you can seriously damage your eyes if you don't protect them. And if you don't have to constantly shield your eyes, it is easier to keep track of where you want your ball to go and where it actually goes. You'll find many different pieces of golf equipment that claim to be ideal for beginners. Nevertheless, when you acquire these pieces of equipment at the start you'll come to find that there really aren't many other things you need in order to become knowledgeable of the basics of the game. As your skills grow, you can begin adding new pieces to your supply for a greater variety and potential in your Golf game.
Before you enter upon the golf course, get yourself a pair of golfing footwear. Make it a point to go through a handful of review articles for golfing shoes before you actually buy a pair. Before you go shopping, read Twenty golfing footwear review articles, as this is the best way to get a good understanding of which products are the most useful.

Jim Heupel is a second career, professional photographer specializing in nature and wildlife images. Considering himself fortunate to have traveled to many distant, often less traveled locations, his desire is to share with others the beauty and wonder of nature, including unique and often intimate photographs of the wildlife.
"My formal, professional training is law; my photographic training is non-formal, that is, 50 years of photo experience and also workshops taught by photographic masters such as my mentor and good friend, Arthur Morris (one of the original Canon 'Explorers of Light')–the top bird photographer in the country (in my opinion and that of many others).
I continue to travel the United States and the world in search of the magic of nature. Alaskan Coast Brown Bears–Grizzlies–are my favorite subject. This fall I'll be going to photograph polar bears at Hudson Bay, Canada. They embody so much of nature: beauty; intelligence; tenderness; playfulness; sheer power; violence; and the stark reality of the harshness of nature outside of human 'civilization'.
When I am not away from home, I serve as the 'combat photographer' for the Living History Program "Battle of Tarawa" reenactment weekends at the National Museum of the Pacific War here in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Having lived in Asia, Europe, as well as the United States, and having traveled to all seven continents, above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle, the beauty and thrill of this planet Earth, its people and its wildlife continue to amaze, inspire, and humble me. My hope is that these images may do the same for you."

Isaac Leong is HERE!
The journey for the
throughout the adoption has been a time of testing and trial, waiting and hoping, but God has been so faithful in providing the most beautiful baby boy, Isaac! I think this picture says it all!
I'm not going to lie....that picture made me tell the hub-daddy (do you like Hart's blog nickname? I hope you see how silly I really am, because it seriously makes me laugh every time I write it!) that I seriously want a baby like right this very minute! The beauty of God's love that I see in these adoptions and these families through this blog is just remarkable! I hope you can see why I am enjoying introducing you to these families, following their stories, and helping when/where I can! I have 2 more families to introduce to you. I know they think I have forgotten them, but I haven't! Get excited! They are pretty awesome! But for now, relish in the cuteness of this little Leong baby and pray that God will finalize all their paperwork! Thank you!

Book Review: Lawrence Block, In the Midst of Death (1976)
Three books into the Matthew Scudder series, I suspect that there may be some self-fulfilling prophecy at work in my reactions thus far: I have been told many times that the series begins relatively slowly before hitting its stride with book five (Eight Million Ways to Die). Is this what I am experiencing because it is what I am expecting, or is this what I am experiencing because it is true? I know that my semi-negative reaction to the first Scudder novel (The Sins of the Fathers) was sincere, as I have little patience for Freudian claptrap in any context. I liked the second novel (Time to Murder and Create) a bit better, if only for the absence of Dr. Freud, and now I like the third novel a bit better still: the plot of In the Midst of Death is less artificial than the earlier novels, and there is some significant development in Scudder's character beyond his cycles of drinking and tithing. Nevertheless, I still feel as though I'm just killing time waiting for book five. Grade: B-

The controversy surrounding aristolochic acid began in Belgium in the early 1990s, continued in England in the late 1990s, and proliferated in the United States in the new millennium. It is an incident that simply refuses to stay dormant.As such, practitioners must be aware of the latest medical and regulatory information.
In May 2000, the FDA placed an import alert on 63 herbs that "contain, may contain, or may be adulterated with aristolochic acid." Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took the position that these herbs would be automatically detained and would be released only if an analytical exam proved that the herbs were free from aristolochic acid. As a result of this regulation, many valuable herbs and formulas were taken off the market.
With regards to the specific type of analytical exam of aristolochic acid, the FDA will only accept tests that use the liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method with precision of less than 0.5 parts per million (PPM). Hence, all other tests are not acceptable and are useless.
In compliance with FDA regulations, batches of herbs have now been successfully produced that have tested negative of aristolochic acid following the testing protocol established by the FDA. Lab results have confirmed that the herbs are free of aristolochic acid, with a precision of 0.25 ppm (which is lower than the FDA requirement. Furthermore, these results have been submitted to the FDA and the California Food and Drug Board (FDB). Both government agencies have acknowledged that the testing method is equivalent to the protocols established by the FDA, and the results (<0.25 ppm) are adequate and acceptable. The analytical reports and acknowledgement letters from the FDA and FDB may be obtained by contacting the author directly.
With this recent success, herbs and formulas that were once inaccessible will again be available. The example include, but are not limited to, stephania (fang ji); clematis armandi (mu tong); clematis (wei ling xian); and saussurea (mu xiang), as well as a variety of formulas such as long dan xie gan tang; dang gui si ni tang; xi yi wan; ba zheng san; xin yi san; and xiao feng san. This success is absolutely invaluable as we continue the fight to preserve and prescribe the herbs in Chinese herbal pharmacopoeia.
Although this matter is temporarily resolved, the issue is far from being settled. While there are some responsible and proactive companies, there are also some that are unaware of the FDA's position and continue to provide misleading information that their products are free of aristolochic acid (without using LC/MS/MS, or with precision of only 5 ppm, which is 10 times higher than the FDA's acceptable limit). Therefore, it is extremely important that the importers and practitioners are aware of these facts to be in full compliance with the FDA's rules and regulations.

20 booksMarch 7, 2009 at 2:42 pm | Posted in personal, poetry | 3 Comments
Here's a meme I picked up from Ron Silliman's blog: list the 20 books that caused you to fall in love with poetry. It is, as Ron notes, quite a different proposition from asking you to list the 20 books of poetry most influential on your current thinking. My list is pretty weird, shaped largely by what I happened to come in contact with during high school, and by a particular class I took in college which cemented my certainty that experimental poetry was What I Was Going To Do With My Life. Here's the list in alphabetical order, with some explanatory notes.
Will Alexander, Asia and Haiti — I decided to write a paper about this in that class because it was the most difficult book we'd read so far. Making that decision made me feel pretty cool.
John Ashbery, Your Name Here — A peculiar choice from Ashbery's oeuvre, to be sure, but it was the first book of his I ever came across. "The Fortune Cookie Crumbles" remains one of my favorite poems ever.
Karin Boye, Complete Poems, tr. David McDuff — This was sent to me by my cousins in Sweden, and it was exactly what a melodramatic teenager needed. Her poems are a strange marriage of strong viking spirit and burning romance. Here are some lines that stick with me to this day: "Fair, fair is joy, fair also is sorrow. / But fairest is to stand on pain's battlefield / with stilled mind and see that the sun is shining."
Reggie Cabico and Todd Swift, eds., Poetry Nation: The North American Anthology of Fusion Poetry — I bought this book at Barnes & Noble when I was about fifteen because I wanted to find out "what people were writing today," and I was so charmed that I read at least four or five of the poems in here at an event at my high school. I think the major revelation that the book gave me was that poetry could be really fucking funny without being trivial, a fact that would be reinforced by all the experimental stuff I would begin reading once I got to college. A few years ago, Cabico was brought out as a special guest at a poetry reading I'd participated in, and it seemed like I made his year by recognizing him and explaining at great length what his anthology had meant to me.
e.e. cummings, 100 Selected Poems — A friend of mine once said that e.e. cummings is for deep sixteen-year-olds, and I think he's right, but I think a lot of us are secretly deep sixteen-year-olds at heart. When I was a deep sixteen-year-old in the flesh, I would stay up late and sit on the floor in front of the full-length mirror in my closet and read e.e. cummings out loud to myself. The revelation that cummings was not actually very difficult once you read him out loud was a pretty important one for me.
Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems — A boy gave this to me for my sixteenth birthday, with a bunch of artifacts inside keyed to specific poems — pictures, magazine clippings, a necklace. Most of them are still in there. Years later, I would write a paper about death and the void in Dickinson, and decide that this gifted edition presented a pretty heavily edited view of her work.
Allen Ginsberg, Howl — Sooner or later, every poetry-loving teenager gets ahold of Howl. I was fortunate enough to have access to my mother's legitimately-70s copy. Later, I would name one of my notebooks "The Sunflower Sutras."
Joy Harjo, A Map to the Next World — I read this book in college under my favorite tree on one of the first warm days of spring, and cried like I was waking up from a terrible dream. Just a few days ago I was reminded of that experience and I picked the book up again, and I had trouble figuring out what had moved me so deeply. Harjo has some interesting things to say, for sure, and I've always been interested in myth, but I think it must have been a confluence of circumstance that made me love this book so much back then.
H.D., Trilogy — I have now written four separate papers on this book for graduate school. Every time I re-read it there's something new to pay attention to.
Lyn Hejinian, My Life — This is one of the books I wrote my senior honors thesis on, and I read it six million billion times. I circled all the repetitions and keyed them together by page number, I underlined any time she seemed to be saying anything about the composition process, and I came to love parataxis above all other literary devices.
Yusef Komunyakaa, Neon Vernacular — I read "Woman, I Got the Blues" to basically everyone who will let me. You have to yell the "sweet mercy" line pretty loudly and sincerely to get it right.
Mina Loy, The Lost Lunar Bedecker — I was on a date with a guy ten years older and a million times cooler than I was, and I took him to one of my favorite little bookstores in NYC, and he pulled this book off the shelf and said "if you buy this, I guarantee that you'll be ahead of the game in your next poetry class." And he was right; Loy was assigned to me just a few weeks later, in a modernist poetry class I took my senior year. I had already read it and fallen in love with "Songs to Joannes," which remains one of my favorite ambiguous-love poems of all time.
Harryette Mullen, Sleeping with the Dictionary — This was it; this was the book that I was reading when I decided "this, right here, is what I am going to do with my life."
Pablo Neruda, Selected Poems, A Bilingual Edition, ed. Nathanial Tarn — Really, what I loved the most in this volume was the Viente Poemas de Amor. I read my mother's copy so many times that the binding fell apart, so she didn't mind too much when I stole it and brought it to college with me.
Sylvia Plath, Ariel — I am allergic to bees, and hence pretty afraid of them. My most vivid memory of this book is of being so unable to put it down that I took it to the dorm kitchen with me to read while making dinner.
Adrienne Rich, The Fact of a Doorframe — I first encountered Rich through one of her more recent books assigned in class, but it was this "selected poems" volume that really had an effect on me; watching the arc of her career as it developed was incredibly interesting.
Leslie Scalapino, The Public World / Syntactically Impermanence — My most vivid memory of reading this is of lounging around on the quad in the sunshine while a tour group walked by, and thinking to myself, "The scene of me reading here only looks idyllic. If they could see inside my head or even just onto this page, boy howdy would they get a different idea."
Juliana Spahr, Fuck You – Aloha – I Love You — I read this book at the beginning of a five-hour bus ride, and then I read it again, and then I read it again. It was like watching the same tower be built, unbuilt, and rearranged over and over again.
Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons — The professor of that landmark poetry class I took in college gave us the first few pages of this on the first day of class, and I thought he was out of his mind. Over the next few weeks, though, I realized that he was right, and this stuff was incredibly interesting. Furthermore, when I read the whole book, I was surprised to find that it was downright hilarious. Now that I'm a teacher myself, I too start my poetry classes with Tender Buttons. (And Shakespeare, and Christian Bök's aural ravings, and I ask my students whether each of these three objects count as poetry and why.)
Rosmarie Waldrop, Reluctant Gravities
Rosmarie Waldrop, The Reproduction of Profiles – Waldrop instantly became my favorite living poet when I read these two books, and she remains so today (her other books are great, too). I think she is the only person in the history of the human race who has successfully solved the mind-body problem.

Dude – awesome, awesome meme. Thanks for posting it! Now I'll go poke at these the next time I hit the library. 🙂
Comment by greyling— March 7, 2009 #
That's a very impressive list–I wish that I had time to read all of these books!! The only book that I've read is Neruda's "20 Love Poems," which is hands down one of the best collections of romantic poetry ever written.
If you really like Neruda, check out Red Poppy at http://www.redpoppy.net/pablo_neruda.php. It's a non-profit set up to create a documentary about Neruda, publish his biography, and translate his works into English.

A project proposal by Gigi Scaria in collbration with Khoj International Artist Association ( A month long project realized from 1 to 28th, April 2006 at Al Noor Hotel Chitli Qubar, Old Delhi) Supported by Devi Art Foundation & Chintan Upadhyaya
What exactly contributes to a city's boundaries to exist? Answers to this question span from a thousand page book to a two word statement. In either case key words such as feudalism, migration, modernization/industrialization, colonialism ,are some of the important points of reference.
The 'city-structure' as a phenomena spreads across the outskirts and merges into the rural landscape where one may not find the exact demarcation of the city wall as it was more visible in the old times.
The 'boundaries of a city" function today more as a metaphor than specific geographic locations. The emergence of a new economic power alongside aspirations of urban life ( in near future?) , existing old cities have been surrounded by newer habitats. Walls around the cities, once built to protect the ruling class and the citizens from fighting regional power players as well as invaders from outside turned into protectors of old customs, values and tastes.
According to 'Delhites' in the walled city of Delhi, things are different or happen differently. But walled city of Delhi also poses certain questions on the "modern'' identity of an urban citizen. What exactly makes the old city different? Is there any common thread which connects the old and new cities? Has the emerging new urban modernist emptied his/her historic baggage with that ease? Is the old city as 'old' as we imagine it to be?
A city has a thousand characteristics : The moralist could lament its lack of character; The cultural police can get angry with the way in which the city functions.
A city within the city reveals thousands of cities inside.
The idea is to intervene or understand the city in which we all live more closely with ( an expanded artistic equipments.? through artistic practice) In this process we might even rethink and question the possibilities of our common practices to produce a work of art. The intention is to interact with the people in order to understand certain social norms and ways of life which contribute to the contemporary culture ( to be alive?).
Art,as we think and understand it, has accommodated many more properties and drastically changed it's persona during the last few decades . Rather than speaking from its own pedestal as a meaning generating machine, we , as artists , feel the need to be involved in this new discourse not as observers but as participants.
In order to realize or even to attempt to realize the above mentioned idea we need an intense involvement with the walled city for some period of time. Though it will be an on going project with long term plans we would like to start the project by living in the walled city for a month. We will hire a haveli within the city boundaries to feel, understand and explore the surroundings. The interaction with the people around ,understanding the historical relevance of the many places within the city and exploring the sense of "local" as well as the "global" in a contemporary cityscape are a few of the many areas through which the project will proceed.
Three artists will be invited to take part in this first phase of the project. They are free to choose their own subject or else they can work out on one common project. Though it will be an open ended project in terms of mediums our major focus would be on video, film, photography and performance.
Since it is an artist initiated community approach we would arrange one or two events to involve other artists in the city to generate debate and discussion during our stay in the haveli.
By the end of the month there will be an open day in which the progress of the projects (materialized during the one month period) will be shared with the public.
As an extension to the project, these projects may also travel to other cities in India for a broader understanding and sharing.
This project is supported by KHOJ International Artists' Association which is an artist led organization committed towards experimentation and exchange in contemporary art practice.

The ceremonies, similar to weddings, will be held during Reading Pride, which will take place on 4 September.
One couple will be chosen by festival sponsors Pink Weddings to have special treatment including free accommodation.
They have already had more than 40 entries but say they have yet to hear from any couples from Reading, which saw the event's press launch this week.
Special song
Pink Weddings founder Gino Meriano told BBC News Online: "The Pride festivals are our big event, wherever they are in the UK.
"It's a way of showing that we want to be accepted. A lot of couples enjoy the idea of showing commitment by being at Pride.
"We have just taken it a step further by saying let's have a commitment ceremony."
The winners of the ceremony, which is not legally binding, will have an official celebrant carry out the service and a song written especially for them.
The free borough council-backed event - the latest to be added to the gay Pride calendar of festivals - is set to include a host of bands, performers and market stalls.

If you've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world's most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle.
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:
If you've tried diving through a Discover Scuba Diving experience or resort course, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Diver course certification.
To enroll in the PADI Open Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must be:
The fun part about this course is...well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you'll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you'll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.
You may be able to earn college credit for the PADI Open Water Diver course!
In the PADI Open Water Diver course, you learn to use basic scuba gear including a dive computer, and standard accessories. The equipment you wear varies somewhat, depending upon whether you're diving in tropical, temperate or cold water.
PADI offers a variety of home-study materials for the Open Water Diver course - book and DVD package or a multimedia DVD-ROM.
PADI's Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you'll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you'll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor.
Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.

My Aux Heater went bad - part FV6Z-18K463-D - 9000 miles. Judging by the lack of others with this issue, it appears to be a one off. Downside is the wrench went on and the part was on back order. Would be interested in seeing if this affects any others.
Car was OK to drive while the part came in.

As riots break out in the streets of America because of Democrats protesting democracy, people of Europe are getting wiser to the manipulation of violence by self-called liberals. What's so liberating about joining a cult and inciting public violence? The German people have as much right as anyone else to be proud of their achievements in technology, culture and religion, just as nearly any nation one could think of has dark corners of history with cause for them to be ashamed of themselves.
The generation of middle-aged Germans had nothing to do with the atrocities committed in WWII and shouldn't have to be ashamed because of what some of their elders may have done. The world has changed much since then, and there have been some fine people in office, serving Germany, but the current leadership has caused crises among their own folk and law-abiding migrants while coddling the most counter-productive elements among the loosely-termed 'refugees' that are purportedly supposed to enrich the nation's culture. Can Chancellor Merkel please tell us why Germany's culture isn't rich enough for her tastes the way it was? Imagine a sharia-compliant Oktoberfest, Burka instead of dirndl with decolette, if women were even allowed to be there. No weißwurst or roasted pork, hooka smoking and tea instead of beer. Is that the future that the powers that be have prepared for Germany? The German folk will soon be faced with a huge decision for the future of their country, the table will more than likely be soundly set by the coming elections in Holland, Austria and France which i suspect will pick up the momentum from Brexit and Trumpsit for national parties offering sovereignity. By the time elections are held in Germany, people will be well aware that the intimidation and baiting ploys from the left are subsidized by the taxpayer in order to coerce voters. It will be well evident that the extreme right-wing is also hired by the state to agitate and provoke the left to project the illusion that the massive police forces are necessary to quell any uprising. Although the media uses their skill to paint the Reichsbürgers, the sovereign citizens that are assuming their inheritance of the Deutsche Reich, as some illogical eccentrics that have strange interpretations of the law, there are some very intelligent people among them that have done a lot of homework and know the statutes better than those hired to represent the company known as BRD Finanzagentur GmbH, a company with limited liability that administrates the country. Required to pay all costs involved with the occupation by the allies since WWII to this day, Germany has been pursuing a trade war against it's own citizens in order to bail out banks, finance the occupation by foreign forces and participate in wars that are the real root of the misery being felt by the genuine refugees. Oh, while paying for it's occupation, the German media isn't allowed to report anything that the CIA doesn't agree with. The reason the espionage affair involving US intelligence wasn't particularly sanctioned in the aftermath should have become obvious by now when considered in this light.
This is made possible in large part due to the absence of a peace treaty between the Deutsche Reich and the allies. Japan signed one, Italy signed one, but the newly reunited East- and West Germany decided to sign the 4+2 accord instead, which seemed like a good way to avoid paying reparations to the Greek government, but guarantees that Germany will be paying "occupation" costs as long as it lives unless the Germans can adopt a constitution agreed to by the people and the Reichsbürger can have their representatives as heirs of the Weimar Republic sign a peace treaty, finally ending the war for Germany and forcing the US Commander in chief to seek a declaration of war prior to involving US forces in any conflict instead of sending forces to different campaigns of the covert, but still active WWII.
Merkel allies warn of Trump effect, poll shows Germans dismayed
By Madeline Chambers and Michael Nienaber
ReutersNovember 10, 2016
"By Madeline Chambers and Michael Nienaber
BERLIN (Reuters) - Leading allies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Thursday that populists would pose a problem for Europe unless mainstream politicians came up with answers after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election.
Trump's win has encouraged right-wing parties in Austria, France and the Netherlands, among others. A Politbarometer poll for broadcaster ZDF showed 82 percent of Germans viewed it as bad or very bad, and 65 percent expected relations with the United States to deteriorate under Trump's presidency.
"Demagogic populism is not only a problem in America," Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told Bild daily. "Elsewhere in the West, too, the political debate is in an alarming state.""

It was easy to like Justin Masterson back in 2008 when he was on the Boston Red Sox. The then 23 year-old posted a 3.16 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, with 68 strikeouts in 88.3 innings out of the bullpen and rotation for the Sox. In a short period of time, the righty gained the trust of his manager by making key spot starts, and even throwing a scoreless ninth inning in Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Championship Series.
Major League heroics aside, the former second round pick also owned a promising career 3.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 3.27 K/BB between three seasons in the minors, and was named the #64 prospect by Baseball America prior to the 2008 season. It seemed as though Masterson, an instant fan favorite, would enjoy a long career with the Boston Red Sox. However, the following season, he was gone.
Looking to upgrade their catching corps, the Red Sox dealt the promising Masterson with Bryan Price and Nick Hagadone to the Cleveland Indians for heavy-hitting catcher, Victor Martinez. The deal was just, as Martinez swatted to the tune of a .336/.405/.507 line as the Red Sox pushed themselves into the playoffs (and lost 3-0 to the Los Angeles Angels). Masterson posted a combined 4.52 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and 1.98 K/BB between the Red Sox and Indians, but struggled once he became a member of the Tribe (4.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 1.92 K/BB).
His struggles continued with the Indians during 2010 too, hurling a 4.70 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 1.92 K/BB in his first full-season (180 innings). Masterson's awesome 8.3 K/9 in 2010 dropped to a very pedestrian 7.0 K/9. His 3.87 xFIP and slightly elevated .324 BABIP suggested greener pastures were ahead for the young righty, but in the moment, nothing seemed further from the case.
But in 2011, and at age 26, something clicked for Masterson. To-date, the right-handed pitcher has posted a 2.56 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 2.67 K/BB. Masterson's 6.7 K/9 is his career-lowest, but then again, his 2.5 BB/9 is by far his best, and he's also leading league in least amount of homeruns surrendered per nine innings (0.2 HR/9). In addition, Masterson has finally honed his pitching repertoire. The pitcher's fastball has averaged a tick higher than year's past (92.8 MPH), and is worth 15.9 runs above average–placing him ninth in the American League (and twelfth in the MLB). Masterson's slider, which has been worth 6.6 runs above average, places him eighth in the AL. The two dominant pitches have helped his overall value, as Fan Graphs has calculated him at 4.1 WAR (tied for eighth in the MLB among pitchers), thus making him worth a whopping $18.6 million so far.
Furthermore, Masterson's sustainable .292 BABIP and impressive 2.83 FIP/3.41 xFIP indicate that his repeating success is at least in the realm of possibility. After a few seasons toiling in the American League Central, it appears as though Justin Masterson has finally joined the elite class of starting pitchers.

Reports have emerged lending credence to Nokia's claim that its new Lumia 800 Windows Phone has seen the "best ever" first weeks sales recorded by a Nokia smartphone.
The news broke after Deutsche Bank issued its own report suggesting sales of the Lumia 800 would reach two million units by the end of 2011's fourth quarter. The forecast followed a report by Nokia earlier in the month, quashing speculation that the new phone was struggling to sell.
"According to the earliest data we have, in less than a full week of sales in a lead market like the UK, we can surmise the following," said a Nokia spokesperson. "The UK is our first market to be enjoying the Lumia launch with a full range of marketing and retail training.
"Lumia 800 sales in the UK are off to an excellent start. Based on earliest data the sales start of the Lumia 800 is the best ever first week of Nokia smartphone sales in the UK in recent history."
The news follows confirmation that Samsung's Galaxy Nexus -- one of the Lumia 800's biggest competitors -- does suffer from a volume drop bug.
Google confirmed Wednesday via a statement sent to the IBTimes that it was aware of the bug and was working to fix it. "We are aware of the volume issue and have developed a fix. We will update devices as soon as possible," said a Google spokesperson.
The bug was first reported mere days after the new Nexus was released, with consumers complaining that at intermittent points the phone suddenly goes silent, meaning users don't get notifications for texts, calls or email. Certain users have also reported the bug occurring mid-phone call, claiming that the device cuts out, meaning that while the phone call is still active they can no longer hear the person on the other end of the line.
Samsung is yet to release any firm sales data regarding the Galaxy Nexus, though numerous research groups and tech sites have forecast that the bug will cause significant damage to the device's opening sales.

The Atlanta Falcons have had four straight winning seasons. They are five wins away from their fifth.
But receiver Roddy White realizes that the team that has gone 0-3 in the postseason since 2008 won't be taken seriously until the Falcons win at least one game in January.
White talked about that and other issues during Tuesday's PFT Live, including the late-game win over the Panthers and Matt Ryan's profane reaction.

Charlotte made her debut on Broadway in the production of Three wishes for Jamie in 1952.
In 1944, Charlotte graduated from Shorewood High School, in Shorewood, IL.
Charlotte Rae stands at an even five feet tall.
While in college, Charlotte was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority.
In 1982, Charlotte was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in "The Facts of Life."
Charlotte Rae has sung "The Facts of Life" theme on two occasions, during the first season of the show and at the TVLand Awards.
She has played one of the few characters to leave a show to do a spinoff, but leave the show that was spun off although she did stay through most of "The Facts Of Life."
Charlotte Rae later married John Strauss.They had two sons, Larry, and Andrew.
She had an older sister, Beverly Ann,(whom passed away in 1998 after a long and courageous fight with cancer) and has a younger sister, Mimi.
She claims that as a child she always wanted to be in show business just to feel like she fit in.
She has battled alcoholism successfully.
Rae first gained widespread fame in the 1961–1963 sitcom, Car 54, Where Are You? as the memorable Sylvia Schnauser.
A respected stage actress since at least the 1950s (when she appeared Off-Broadway in The Threepenny Opera).
In 1982 Charlotte had to go to the hospital to get a pacemaker for her heart.
She created the role of Mammy Yokum in the Broadway musical "Lil' Abner".
She earned Tony nominations for her work in the musical "Pickwick" (based on the Charles Dickens work) and the play "Morning, Noon, and Night".
One of her sons, Larry, is a teacher in south Central L.A.
Charlotte divorced her husband, composer John Strauss, before starting the "Diff'rent Strokes" TV series.
Charlotte Rae attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.
Charlotte Rae was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 1982 Emmys.

The character of Andy, played by MacKenzie Astin, was named after Charlotte Rae's autistic son.
The character of Natalie was named after one of Charlotte Rae's best friends - the character was created especially for Mindy Cohn.
In season 2 when Nancy joined the cast, the girls often swore at themselves when they would mess up a line or make a mistake. Charlotte Rae would sometimes get annoyed at them and scold them for swearing. Sometimes lines with curse words would work their way into the scripts little by little; but only words like "hell" or "damn" could be used on the show. In the episode "Next Door" the script called for Mrs. Garrett to say the word "hell" while shouting at Jo. It took her a lot or practice to get it just right. They did the scene about 20 times because Nancy could not stop laughing at Charlotte when she would get to the word 'hell'. And then when Nancy finally got it down, Lisa would laugh. They had to change the script so that Blair would leave the room. After that episode Charlotte no longer gave the girls grief about the girls swearing.
Charlotte Rae: Because of the power of television, I was visible to everybody all over the world. But there are many things in the theater that are more fulfilling and that I look forward to doing more. But really, I love it all: theater, film, television.
Charlotte Rae: I can't even go to Barbados without people wanting to hug me and 'Oh, Mrs. Garrett!', you know, it really had an impact on their lives.
Charlotte Rae: You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show...but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye.
Charlotte Rae: They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they'd say 'I wish my Mom were like you.'

The are thousands of options when it comes to specialty laminates. You can add texture, holograms, and other images to your commercial printing project by adding a layer of protective laminating film. Basically if you can think of it can think of it it can be done by adding a layer of laminate.
The most common effect added with lamination are holograms, or holographs. These are especially popular with security badges and identification cards. These layered images give added security, greatly deterring counterfeiting by not allowing your piece to be photo copied, or reprinted.
It doesn't have to be all business. Adding a holographic effect to your business card, book cover, or any other printed piece can really draw some attention. Specialty laminates give you the ability to do things with your printing project that were once impossible.
These added effects are not a stocked item. If you are considering a specialty laminate please email us, or give us a call 888-331-1033, to talk about your options.

Artemisinin-resistant Malaria in Cambodia

- How to Read a Study Record
- Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the first-line treatments for malaria. ACTs are highly effective, but malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite is becoming resistant to some ACTs. ACT-resistant malaria has shown up in some parts of Cambodia, but not yet in other parts of the country. This has been shown by treating patients with ACTs, checking the amount of parasites in the patient s blood every 6 hours, and calculating the rate of parasite clearance. The parasite clearance rate in response to ACTs is getting slower in western Cambodia and may be the first sign of ACT resistance. Researchers want to study how effective ACTs are in different regions of Cambodia. This study will look at the extent of ACT resistance and how widespread ACT-resistant malaria has become.
- To compare the prevalence of ACT-resistant malaria in western, northern and eastern Cambodia.
- Individuals between 2 and 65 years of age who have uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria and have not taken any antimalarial drugs for their symptoms in the previous 7 days.
- Participants will be recruited from clinics and hospitals in three Cambodian provinces.
- Participants will be informed about the study and their consent to participate in the study will be obtained.
- A venous blood sample will be obtained from patients before treatment and used for laboratory experiments to measure parasite and patient factors that might affect the parasite clearance rate.
- Participants with malaria will be treated with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA-PPQ), the standard first-line treatment for malaria in Cambodia.
- Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood samples obtained from a finger prick. The amount of malaria parasites in each blood sample will be counted and followed until they are no longer detectable.
- Participants will have weekly follow-up visits for up to 9 weeks. Finger-prick blood samples will be taken at each visit to see if the parasites reappear after treatment with ACT.

More than a thousand high school students from across the USA and Canada recently competed in the fifth annual North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO). The top scorers of NACLO are eligible to represent their countries at the Ninth International Olympiad in Linguistics (IOL), which will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in late July.
This will be the first time the United States has hosted the IOL, and it will be the first time Canada will send its own team to the international competition, joining the 23 nations that have participated in previous IOLs. The United States has competed in the IOL since 2007, sending two teams of four students each year. In the past four years, its students have won 17 medals, including 3 gold medals. Its teams have won the team portion of the competition 3 times and have won or tied for highest combined score on individual rounds in two of those years.
The NACLO competition included two rounds. In early February, 1039 students took part in the open round at more than 100 university and high school locations. Approximately 125 students with the highest scores from the US and the top 10 students from Canada then advanced to the invitational round, held on March 10th, which featured significantly harder questions.
Top winners include:
Students compete in the Computational Linguistics Olympiad by solving challenging problems using data from a variety of languages and formal systems. There is no prerequisite knowledge. Students discover facts about languages and formal systems in the course of solving the puzzles. "NACLO is unique because it is a challenge in linguistics and plays with language, which is more genuinely fun and intuitive than the majority of other contests in math or science," says Daniel Mitropolsky, the first-place finisher in this year's contest. "I enjoy the fact that the problems teach some facts about each language first. It makes taking the competition a learning experience in itself," adds Rachel McEnroe, another high scorer in this year's contest.
This year, students solved fourteen problems, including:
Dragomir Radev of the University of Michigan is the program chair of NACLO and head coach of the US team for the IOL. Among his many responsibilities, Radev gathers ideas from industry and academic researchers around the world. Radev aims to create challenging and stimulating problems that address cutting edge issues in the field of computational linguistics. Though not yet widely known to the general public, computational linguistics is a rapidly emerging field with applications in such areas as search engine technologies, machine translation, and artificial intelligence.
While the linguistics competition is fun, it also requires dedication and hard work by many people, all of whom are volunteers. In addition to Radev, Lori Levin (Carnegie Mellon University) is the NACLO chair and an IOL team coach. Patrick Littell (University of British Columbia) is a member of the organizing committee and team leader for the Canadian IOL team. The organizing committee also includes School Liaison Amy Troyani (Pittsburgh Allderdice High School), Administrative Chair Mary Jo Bensasi (Carnegie Mellon University) and Sponsorship Chair James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University), as well as problem authors and jury members Eugene Fink (Carnegie Mellon University), David Mortensen (University of Pittsburgh), and 2007 international gold medalist Adam Hesterberg, now studying at Princeton University. Many other college professors, high school teachers, and college students also volunteer their time
NACLO is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the North American Chapter of the Association for Computation Linguistics (NAACL), The Linguistics Society of America, The National Science Foundation, Yahoo!, Carnegie Mellon University, the Gelfand Center for Community Outreach, the University of Michigan, and the University of Pittsburgh Intelligent Systems Program, as well as donations from many academic departments and individual donors.
Universities and corporations view the program as a way of helping high school students discover their talents and interests in the areas of language, linguistics and natural language processing. In January, 2011, the Linguistics Society of America awarded NACLO its "Linguistics, Language, and the Public" award for increasing awareness of linguistics in the general public.
"Usually, college students don't even hear about computational linguistics until they are well along in their undergraduate studies," says Lori Levin of Carnegie Mellon University, NACLO chair. "Our hope is that competitions such as the Computational Linguistics Olympiad will identify students who have an affinity for linguistics and computational linguistics before they graduate high school and encourage them to pursue further studies at the university level." Mitropolsky adds, "I've surely gained much pleasure and experience in problem solving that I can apply in other subjects. The contest has consolidated my interest in studying linguistics formally." Caroline Ellison, a high scorer in this year's NACLO contest, agrees, saying "Instead of having to remember facts and formulas, I could focus entirely on the logic of the problems. I loved being exposed to languages that are so different from English. After taking NACLO, I've become interested in linguistics and now hope to study it further in college."
"High school students are always enthusiastic about logic puzzles, and the Linguistics Olympiad provides lots of them," says Adam Hesterberg, winner of the 2007 International Linguistics Olympiad, and now vice-chair of the NACLO jury and chair of the IOL jury this summer. "It's like a math contest without the requirement of knowing any math, although without the rigor of a math contest. Indeed, mathematicians normally do quite well in the contests."
Radev certainly feels that his hard work pays off. "Many of the participants are extremely bright and have broad interests. In addition to linguistics, they also excel in physics, mathematics, computing, and many other subjects. A number of linguistics clubs have been created at high schools thanks to NACLO."
And, as Fink puts it, "most importantly, it is fun for all participants, both students and organizers."

MACOLDIE just loves Engaget's podcasts and listens regularly. The latest edition comes highly recommended for anyone interested in eBook readers and the new large-format Kindle DX. The detailed discussion highlights the cost of the DX and explores potential problems in the subscription model for newspapers.
In the USA, where newspaper subscription has always been a bigger segment of the market than in other parts of the world, people may be willing to shell out several hundred dollars a year to have their favourite broadsheet ported to the Kindle DX every morning. But it becomes a very expensive proposition at the moment and probably wouldn't work as well in, say, the UK where the subscription base is minimal and the majority of people buy their papers from a nearby shop or–another shrinking market–regular delivery from the same local store.
The guys at Engaget even question the future of e-ink technology because of its many shortcomings in refresh rate. We know from using the Sony ebook reader that the refresh rate is just about adequate for reading a book–the page change takes about the same time as turning over the page of a normal volume–but navigating the menus is excruciatingly slow. Most times it feels like manipulating a computer of 20 years ago.
While e-ink displays have one overwhelming advantage with their long battery life, we suspect most people would settle for a back-lit display, similar to that on the iPhone, for general book reading if they could be sure of a reasonable time between charges. As usual, the need is well ahead of the big bottleneck in all portable computer devices: battery life. Anyway, listen for yourself.
Another angle on the ebook discussion we would recommend this article on TechChrunch: How Big Can the Kindle Get?

1. Players withdrawing from tournaments. This is very annoying for organisers, other competitors, and fans (not to mention sponsors). Players withdrawing from swiss system events can be very disruptive, sometimes leaving a bye in the field and sometimes creating some odd pairings. Especially annoying is a player who withdraws from a swiss event after a few rounds having spoiled the chances of some players, but then not having to play their competition. In a round robin, things can be even more disruptive. If the tournament is being held primarily for norm purposes, a withdrawal can, and probably will, eliminate the chances of the tournament producing a norm.
Recently at the top level the high profile withdrawal of Alexander Morozevich from the Biel tournament occurred. Morozevich left the tournament for health reasons, and that is always a worry for chess fans. The loss of Morozevich from the chess scene 2 years ago was a big disappointment for his fans, and I amongst many hoped for his recovery and return to the international chess elite. Now we can only hope he is ok to keep playing, even if he has to play less.
2. Chess politics. I don't usually get involved in politics on this blog, but the resolution offered by Turkish Chess President to penalise chess federations who took legal action against FIDE seems ludicrous. Ali Nihat Yazici has stated that the federations of France, US, England, Germany, Georgia, Ukraine and Switzerland
"must be given suspension from FIDE including players, arbiters, trainers, ratings and organising FIDE rated events, till damage is covered by those federations". To be honest, I couldn't believe that arbiters were being refused from certain countries (ie. those countries mentioned above) to act at the Olympiad. Then again, we are talking about a federation that can take action against one of its own Grandmasters in what appears a somewhat arbitrary way.
I think I'll stay away from chess politics. The more I think about it, the more disappointed I get.
3. Chess play. We are at the end of week one of the British Championship, and my only disappointments is that my friends aren't doing better. After his great start, Don Mason has lost 3 in a row, while Mike Surtees started indifferently, but picked up toward the end of the week. The tournament itself has now seen the cream starting to rise to the top with GM's Jones, Howell and Gordon leading a pack of titled players. The live coverage is excellent and the games that I've seen (not as many as I'd like, but I'll get through more) have been exciting. It is a bit disappointing that our super GM's Adams, Short and McShane aren't playing as all have been in decent form this year and are in the 2700 club. It's also a bit disappointing that there are no aussies in the field, though WIM Sue Maroroa from New Zealand is playing, scoring just below half points in the first week including a draw against strong FM Peter Poobalasingam.
Congratulations to all the prize winners from the first week, including age group champions.
A few disappointments have occurred to me, though. First, the dour World Championship match was not a spectacle for fans who were disappointed by the tactics of both players. Since the match, Anand has stated that matches are different to tournaments and he always knew the match was going to be tough. To the untrained eye, at times it seemed as if neither player was really trying to win, but preferred to not lose.
Another disappointment came today for me when I turned up to play a match for my club to find that someone had taken my place. There must have been some mix up, as I arrived a little late to find that the match had started without me. I had expected to find my clock running, but not someone sitting in my place!
With so much doom and gloom in my post, I want to finish in inspirational mood. Probably, my favourite game of all time is the following queen sacrifice game played by Paul Keres against Max Euwe in 1939. If you haven't seen the game, you will be in for a treat, and if you have, then please enjoy it again. I find it no bad thing to go back to the things that have inspired and exhilarated us in the past!

ASCII Text Art
your own
text arts
Text art, also called ASCII art is one of arts enabled by computer age. It's about making text pictures with text symbols. As we now live in informational societies, I bet you've already encountered those ASCII-painted pics somewhere on Internet.
I noticed that visitors of my site like artful text pictures. People have been putting text images composed of symbols into comments on my pages since the first FB comment box stood the source of my website years ago. I actually deleted that Facebook comment box after some time, as it took as much time to load as the whole page without it.
So I decided to make a collection of these cool arts. And, unlike with most things I decide to do, that I did! ≧◔◡◔≦ I started collecting them from your comments and profiles. I, also, searched the net a bit, but I found just a few good text arts that work on Facebook. Right now, there's more, as lots of people actually copied some to their websites from here ヅ.
The wast majority of text art pictures in here were submitted as comments by surfers just like you. Maybe, exactly you, or your friends.. if not them then say "friends of your friends of your" 2 times - that's them. 〷◠‿◠〷 I've improved some of the arts to look even better. Thanks, everyone!
Note, that text pics were made to look fine in Lucida Grande, Tahoma and Verdana fonts, which are default on Facebook.
