Well, maybe not heaven, but certainly on high from either aircraft or satellite aerial imagery.
Last year in Mississippi and this year in California, Matt Bethel, a research project manager for NASA at the space agency's Stennis Space Center near Gulfport, Miss., researched the use of aerial imagery to do a more efficient and economical job of applying the plant growth regulator to cotton.
"This use of aerial imagery in helping to establish variable Pix application rates is an ideal match. Identifying variations of vigor in a field is a straightforward use of imagery. Vigor is what you are looking for in using Pix to slow down growth and improve fruit set," said Bethel.
Typically, in the emerging world of precision agriculture and aerial imagery is used to detect present or potential stresses to aid consultants and farmers in mitigating the causes, be it insects, lack of nutrients, salinity, water, soil conditions, diseases or other factors.
Last year in the first of three years of researching variable rate Pix on Mississippi cotton, Bethel said plant growth regulator input costs were reduced by almost 25 percent on Kenneth Hood's farm near Gunnison, Miss.
"The yields were the same between what we call prescription or variable Pix applications and the standard single rate for the entire field," said Bethel.
And, there is no reason not to expect the same thing from the research work Bethel is conducting at Ted Sheely's farm near Lemoore, Calif. as part of the Ag 20/20 project NASA is participating in to find practical uses for aerial imagery in agriculture.
"The goal of Ag 20/20 is to find ways to reduce farmer input costs; maximize yields and reduce environmental impact by applying pesticides, herbicides, plant growth regulators or nutrients only where they are needed," said Bethel.
"The key to what we are doing is putting numbers to everything we do. In Mississippi, David Laughlin, Mississippi State University economist developed the cost savings numbers for the project on Mr. Hood's farm," said Bethel. "In Fresno, Michel Pappi, director of the Center for Ag Business at California State University, Fresno, will develop the cost-benefit numbers for the work at Ted's farm.
"Bottom line is whatever we do in precision agriculture must pay for the farmer. It may sound ground and look great, but if it is not affordable, it will not work," said Bethel.
His work with mepiquat chloride is straightforward.
Field aerial photographs are taken from an aircraft of fields and vigor areas are identified where a Pix application may be beneficial. A consultant, in this case Nick Groenenberg of Hanford, Calif., Sheely's independent pest control advisor, uses those maps to plant map areas where Pix may be needed.
"The idea behind using GPS is not to take the consultant out of the field, but make his job more efficient by identifying aerially areas for him to scout," said Bethel.
"We are mapping with an aircraft flown by OSKI out of Torrance, Calif. using the same aerial imagery system that is available in a satellite. Once the technology is commercialized, it would be available using satellite imagery," said Bethel.
The research is using three replicated scenarios:
- A solid one-rate application for an entire field.
- A off/on scenario where the same rate of Pix would be recommended for various zones in the field with the application equipment turned off an off based on Groenenberg's recommendations.
- A truly variable rate technology where five different rates would be used in five difference zones identified throughout the field.
These variable rate scenarios are programmed onto a field map for use in an on-board computer in the ground applicator that automatically adjusts the application rates on the go.
Using a plant growth regulator to control growth and enhance fruit set has become almost standard operating procedure across the U.S. Cotton Belt. However, it use and rates can vary widely each season. Like this year at Sheely's farm, he was not anticipating high Pix use because fruit retention in the 2002 crop has been very high.
"Insect pressure has been low this year and there has been little fruit loss to lygus. Ted was not going to use much Pix this year, but there were some 105 to 110 degree days this summer where some squares fell off and he decided to use a plant growth regulator to slow down growth and set fruit," said Bethel. "However, it was a light year for Pix."
Sheely is a one-shot Pix user while other producers in California and elsewhere use multiple applications.
"In Mississippi at the Hood farm, they may apply Pix three times in a season," he said.
Pix is applied using recommendations from either seed companies, local universities or what the manufacturer recommends for timing and use rates. "We wanted to base our research on local recommendations and guidelines producers and consultants were comfortable using in making a Pix decision," he said.
While Pix has become a standard across the U.S. Cotton Belt, there are some striking differences in cotton cultures between the Mid-South and California.
"The most striking difference…other than the humidity," said the Mississippi based Bethel, "is how labor intensive farming is in California. There are always workers in the fields in California…weeding and irrigating. The only thing you ever see in a field in Mississippi is a tractor," said Bethel.
In California, irrigation is "so critical," Bethel said. Irrigation is supplemental in Mississippi.
"There is a very narrow window for a Pix application in California because of the need open and close irrigation ditches and get in and get out before the next irrigation cycle," he said.
"Getting this variable rate technology in an aerial applicator will make a big difference in California in getting farmers to accept the idea of prescription Pix applications," he added.
While the Pix application window can be narrow, the California growing season is longer. "You don't necessarily have to rush things in California…to get in a big hurry to get open bolls out of the field," he added.
California definitely has the advantage when it comes to aerial imagery.
"You don't have to worry about clouds in California in the summer. You want it to be clear for a satellite to take photographs. You can count on that in California, but not Mississippi," said Bethel.
What is common between the two areas is soil type variability within fields. "What you don' t see in Mississippi and what has a big influence in California is salinity, which is the biggest factor Ted has to deal with in field variability," he said.
Regardless of those differences, Bethel is confident, based on what he has seen in both regions, that precision agriculture prescription applications of Pix will work to save growers money in both places.

JoannaPosted on 27/04/2016
Feeling lonely isn't in itself a mental health problem, but the two are strongly linked. Having a mental health problem increases your chance of feeling lonely, and feeling lonely can have a negative impact on your mental health.
Although most people need some kind of social contact to maintain good mental health, everyone has different social needs. You may be someone who is content with a few close friends, or you may need a large group of varied acquaintances to feel satisfied.
Have a look at these tips. They might help you to cope with feelings of loneliness.
Being alone is not the same as being lonely. There is nothing wrong with being on your own if you are comfortable with it.
If you're visiting this page however, something probably feels wrong for you.
People usually describe feeling lonely for one of two reasons:
Deciding which is the case for you may help you to find a way of feeling better.
It can be helpful to think of feeling lonely like feeling hungry. Just as your body uses hunger to tell your body you need food, loneliness is a way of your body telling you that you need more social contact.
That means the simplest way to ease feelings of loneliness can be to try to meet more, or different, people.
Talking to people online has helped me find an understanding support network and makes me feel less alone.
Talking to people online has helped me find an understanding support network and makes me feel less alone.
We're not saying it's an easy thing to do. If reaching out sounds overwhelming, take a look at some of our ideas in Take it slow for inspiration, or read Lee or Scott's stories below about how they found ways to meet new people.
> Read Joanna's blog about how peer support helped her cope with loneliness
> Read how volunteering has helped Scott make new connections
You might feel that you have plenty of connections, but what is actually wrong is that you don't feel close to them, or they don't give you the care and attention you need.
In this situation it might help to open up about how you feel to friends and family.
If you don't feel comfortable opening up to the people you know, you could try making new connections (see Make new connections).
If you've felt lonely for a long time, or even if you're surrounded by people, it can be terrifying to think of trying to meet new people, or opening up to people for the first time.
But you don't need to rush into anything.
Be brave and reach out to someone. It doesn't have to be face to face; you could share a post on social media.
Be brave and reach out to someone. It doesn't have to be face to face; you could share a post on social media.
Watch Lee's vlog on how overcoming his loneliness started with talking to people online and getting involved a mental health campaign.
It is very hard to stop comparing ourselves to others, we all do it, but it can help to just be aware that things are not always what they seem from the outside.
Social media, and the fact that we very often only see what other people want to share about their lives, can make us feel like we are the only ones feeling lonely.
It's important to remind yourself that you don't know how people feel when they are alone, or when their social media feeds are turned off.
If you're worried that social media might be affecting your mental health see our information on staying well online.
How are you feeling generally? Feeling lonely can be very stressful and can have a big impact on your general wellbeing, which might make it even harder to make positive steps to feeling better.
Think about how some of the following are affecting how you feel and whether you can do anything to change them:
Getting too little or too much sleep can have a big impact on how you feel.
> See our info on sleep problems
We might associate stress with things like work or family pressure, but research has show that being lonely also causes a lot of stress.
> See our info on managing stress or tips on how to relax
Feeling lonely can have a big impact on your confidence and self-esteem, which can only make it harder to open up and make new connections.
> See our info on improving your self esteem
Our mental and physical health are closely linked. Taking up sport or exercise can help you feel better in lots of different ways.
> See our info on physical activity, sport and exercise
Exploring how what you eat affects your mood might help you to feel better.
> See our info on food and mood
Mental health
If your mental health is having an impact on your feelings of loneliness, you could try seeking more or different treatment for it.
> See our info on different diagnoses and treatments
You don't have to go through this on your own. Lots of organisations can help you make connections.
Call, text or email our Infoline to see if they can help you find a local group or service.

Whitney and 2 Broke Girls
How much perky raunchiness can you stand?
Whitney Cummings is a comedienne familiar from Comedy Central roasts, where she disguises passable sass as cutting wit and from Chelsea Lately, where she helps the hostess take out the tabloid trash with practiced invective. She hops through crowd-pleasing stand-up routines about love and sex—gentle observations roughly stated—that season a rom-com worldview with slight salt. She is attractive in a sharp, perky-glam way that can get other women annoyed that she's considered good-looking. And now she has created two new TV shows, each an old-school three-camera sitcom. "Whitney is taped in front of a live studio audience," she says in voice-over at the top of the lesser of them, adding, "You got it." Well, isn't she fresh? And isn't that stale. Watching Whitney (NBC, Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. ET) is a bit like participating in a séance. It often seems that the traditional sitcom has died and you are communing with its angry ghost. The show clangs with musty setups and rattles with hoary material, while the viewer supplies agonized moans. Here, Whitney Cummings plays Whitney Cummings, a thirtysomething photographer wrestling with all the usual old relationship issues, plus a few post-Apatovian new ones. The character is heavily fictionalized, but the characterization is a featherweight. Definitively not an actor—not even a bad actor—Cummings seems abashed and ironic at various points, holding the performance at arm's length or within air quotes, as if the corniness of the proceedings were central to the joke. After three whole years of dating, Whitney and her scruffy live-in boyfriend Alex (played by Chris D'Elia) are both combating fatigue and deciding whether to get seriously serious. Naturally, their attendance at a wedding touches off an attack of introspection, and their attendant lords and ladies who constitute their group of friends are there to provide guidance, support, and flat wisecracks. The cohort includes a recently divorced lush, an obnoxiously effusive kissy-faced couple, and a libidinous cop named Mark. Something about the cruddy conventionalism of Whitney's setting really makes Mark's bad horndog lines sparkle, as when, at the wedding, he licks his chops over the bridesmaids: "Someone's going on a ride-along tonight ... on my face."Our heroine is rather less randy, and the central scene of the Whitney pilot concerns her effort to reheat a sex life that has reached a cryogenic temperature. To spice things up, Whitney gets herself a naughty nurse outfit, with the little white cap and frilly red knickers, and she surprises Alex with a frisky show of medical-care coquetry, pouting that he needs to check in for an appointment. Committing to the role-playing, she establishes that preliminaries will involve his filling out a lot of paperwork, and you steel yourself to witness a hardcore S&M scene involving health-insurance bureaucracy. But, no, Alex, racing to the boudoir with his trousers at his knees, slips and falls and sustains a concussion, and the sassy black nurse at the hospital denies Whitney's attempts to follow her beau into the ER: "You either married or you not." The studio audience receives a little lesson, if that's what it is, about commitment. There is a peculiar flavor to this cheese. If you caught a snippet of Whitney unawares, you would be forgiven for assuming that it's one of those shows-within-a-show that exists to caricature bad television. By contrast, 2 Broke Girls (CBS, debuts Monday at 9:30 p.m. ET), created by Cummings and Sex and the City's Michael Patrick King, is a well-rounded square show—obvious and earnest, warm and energetic. It has the decency to treat the audience and the genre with some respect, and the lead actors (Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs) sell their performances (as an odd couple of diner-waitress roommates in Brooklyn) with considerable zest. I'd hate to give the impression that 2 Broke Girls is half as good as Alice, but its greasy-spoon spunk is regularly palatable, good for a cheap chuckle. Dennings plays Max, a congenitally cynical employee of a restaurant in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, a situation enabling the program to jest about "hipsters" and drop the names of indie-rock bands. Behrs plays Caroline, her newest colleague, a Park Avenue princess impoverished after her father was convicted of perpetrating a Madoff-type swindle. Together, they sling hash and trade insults and learn to trust. They hatch a plan to save money to open a cupcake shop, an indication of where the Cummings' girlie-girl heart is. She and her writers relish their politically incorrect lines a bit much, frantic to flaunt their edginess in offering jokes at the expense of Temple Grandin, Stephen Hawking *, and sexual-assault victims. But they are sweethearts under the skin, captains of a happily bland ship sailing placid sitcom seas.

February 21, 2013 01:00 ET
EDINBURGH, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2013) - Although it has its origins in 1960s America, self-storage did not arrive in the UK until the early 1980s and even then it was mainly limited to the London area.
Today, there are more than 400 self-storage companies operating in the UK, from large multi-site companies to smaller independents, equating to well over 800 individual facilities.
The extraordinary development of the industry can perhaps be best illustrated by the degree to which rentable space has grown: from virtually nothing in the early 80s to around 30 million square feet 30 years later.
Such growth has called for a high degree of innovation from companies wishing to stand out.
One company that has found a way to distinguish itself is Edinburgh-based Flexistore Self Storage, which in 2002 became the UK and Europe's first mobile self-storage operator, instantly providing a solution for customers who previously had been required to use a local removal or van rental company.
A spokesperson for Flexistore said: "Gone are the days when people lived in one place and kept all their possessions together. Today, people have more belongings than ever but they have a much greater need to be mobile and flexible, and self-storage is the perfect answer.
"Of the 250,000 people in the UK who now use self-storage, many do not want to have to worry about arranging their own pick-up and drop-off transport. That's why our mobile solution, which includes delivery, is continuing to prove so popular."
With a service offering that includes personal, business and student storage, records management and a shipping service, Flexistore now has warehouses in several regions across the UK. Customers in search of self-storage in Preston are catered for with the same level of service as those looking for storage in Cardiff.
And as a further example of the innovation that has helped it to stay ahead of the field, Flexistore's online 'vault estimator' means it can give customers the most efficient and cost-effective storage solution possible.
At a time when UK Self Storage Association data reveals that people are leaving their possessions in self-storage for an average of 38 weeks, that is a real benefit for customers.

Auditions for the role of Jean Valjean, central character in the Victor Hugo novel and the stage and screen musical, "Les Misérables," will be April 6 and 7.
Only recently released for full production by community theatres, Ardmore Little Theatre's July staging of "Les Misérables" will be among the earlier presentations among smaller amateur troupes.
The ALT production will be directed by Dell McLain of Durant. He served as Director of Theatre at Southeastern Oklahoma State University for 12 years and is now Chair of the Department of Art, Communication. He previously taught at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah and Austin College in Sherman, Texas.
"The role of Jean Valjean is very demanding, both in acting and singing," McLain said. "The character ages substantially during the play, so the actor must be versatile." Physically, the character is a strong man so the actor should appear robust. As a vocalist, the role requires a trained tenor voice with an approximate range of low A to high A.
"Since this show is sung throughout, the singing audition will also be the acting audition," McLain said.
Open auditions, only for the role of Jean Valjean, will be at the Goddard Arts Center in Ardmore starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 6, and continuing (if necessary) at 2 p.m. on April 7.
Those seeking the Jean Valjean role should come prepared to sing a song that shows off their voice, but should not be longer than two minutes. An accompanist will be on hand, so actors should bring sheet music or pre-recorded instrumental music.
ALT's production will be staged July 18-21 and July 25-27. Open auditions for all other parts in will be May 18-19. Rehearsals will begin June 3 and will run about three hours, Monday through Friday evenings.
Additional information on the auditions, the roles, vocal requirements or planned production can be obtained by contacting ALT at (580) 223-6387.

Utica 38, RPI 28 Box Score
Utica, NY (10/8/11) – The Utica College football team racked up 263 yards on the ground en route to snapping a two game slide as the Pioneers defeated host RPI 38-28 Saturday afternoon at East Campus Stadium. Junior Jake Larson (Maple Grove/Bemus Point, NY) ran for a career-high 173 yards on 19 carries, including a 62-yard touchdown run to pace the Pioneers'.
UC totaled 552 yards of offense in the victory and the rushing attack, lead by Larson and sophomore Jesse Baldassare (Mt. Sinai/Mt. Sinai, NY), tallied three touchdowns. Baldassare added 92 yards on only 13 carries to go along with two touchdowns for the Pioneers.
The Pioneers moved their record to 3-2 overall and they have now won nine straight non-conference contests, including two consecutive victories over the Engineers. RPI's record fell to 2-3 overall on the year.
The home team scored first at 6:13 in the first quarter as Engineer quarterback Mike Hermann faked a hand-off and eventually found the end zone to give RPI a 7-0 lead.
UC answered at 10:42 in the second quarter after Baldassare powered in a two-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7-7. UC sophomore's Andrew Benkwitt (Mamaroneck/Mamaroneck, NY) and Anthony Acevado (New Hartford/New Hartford, NY) connected on a 25-yard pass to set up the squad at the two-yard line. Benkwitt finished the day completing 22-of-34 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns and the junior now has over 1,300 passing yards on the season to go along with 14 touchdowns.
Following two consecutive first downs by the home team, the momentum changed quickly when senior cornerback Jon White (Union-Endicott/Endicott, NY) intercepted Hermann's pass at the RPI 5-yard line and returned it 61 yards. After back-to-back Rensselaer penalties Utica took the lead 14-7 when Benkwitt completed a three-yard pass to sophomore full back Alexander Ruta (Hilton/Hilton, NY). Ruta now has two touchdowns this season.
RPI retaliated on the ensuing drive with five first downs as they marched up the field and scored on a five-yard touchdown pass from Hermann to Joe Cozzolino. The Engineers knotted the game at 14-14 after the drive of which took 5:02 off the clock.
Rensselaer botched the following kick-off giving the Pioneers the ball at the 40-yard line, which resulted in a big possession for UC. With .52 remaining until half, Benkwitt and Acevado connected on back-to-back plays of seven and 44-yards bringing the first down marker to the 14-yard line. Following three incomplete passes, UC kicker Seth Mitchell (Fonda-Fultonville/Fonda, NY) booted a 31-yarder to give the Pioneers a 17-14 lead going into the locker room. Mitchell has now converted on 6-of-6 field goal attempts this season.
Utica would get the ball to start the third quarter and the Pioneers took less than five minutes to capture a 10 point lead. After four first downs, UC secured a 24-14 lead after a five yard touchdown pass from Benkwitt to sophomore tight end Matt Dunn (Miller Place/Miller Place, NY), at 10:54.
RPI cut into the Pioneers' lead with a field-goal, 24-21, following a 4:42 drive and four first downs as Hermann rushed for his second TD of the game. However, UC didn't waste much time regaining its 10 point cushion.
Utica got the ball with just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter and quickly scored seven points. Benkwitt completed back-to-back passes of five and 10 yards for a first down and then handed the ball to Baldassare for a 12-yard ran and another UC first down. The next play went for 48-yards, as Baldassare took it the house, giving Utica a 31-21 advantage headed into the final quarter of play.
RPI continued to stick to its rushing attack and gained four consecutive first downs before Hermann pushed his third touchdown of the game in the end zone to cut the lead back to a field goal, 31-28, with 11:41 left in regulation.
On the next possession, Benkwitt completed two passes for a first down, before handing it off to Larson on the next play. Larson gained three yards and followed up with 62-yard touchdown run at 9:29 to give the Pioneers a 38-28 lead.
Rensselaer recorded two first downs on the next drive before sophomore safety Eric Rindo (Lancaster/Lancaster, NY) picked off Hermann with 3:02 left in the fourth. UC then handed the ball off to its rushing unit to seal the victory as time expired.
Wide receiver Anthony Acevado, a New Hartford native, had another stellar performance grabbing eight balls for 157 yards while tight end Matt Dunn added five catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Cornerback Jon White registered six solo tackles to go along with his huge interception.
Dana Christofferson (Dryden/Richford, NY) had 12 total tackles, including five solo, while Luke Manolescu (Notre Dame/New York Mills, NY) added ten for the UC defensive unit.
The Pioneers return to action Saturday as they host conference foe Hartwick College. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium. The Hawks are currently 2-3 overall including a 0-2 mark in E8 play. HC is coming off 32-29 overtime road loss to Alfred University.

1. Re: Checkboxes (Wingdings) to multiple words (Arial) in same sentence using styles.Michael Gianino Apr 5, 2012 12:32 AM (in response to KelThan)
I recommend a combination of paragraph styles, character styles and Find/Change, although Grep styles may also work, but I'm not all that familiar with them.
I'd set a basic body paragraph style, and use a character style to change the font for the check boxes. Depending on how the text is translated by the OCR process, use Find to get to the place where you want the checkbox, and replace it with the checkbox and what ever other text is necessary (spaces, tabs, etc.). Just be sure to click the More Options on the Find/Change window and set the Change Format to the character style.
2. Re: Checkboxes (Wingdings) to multiple words (Arial) in same sentence using styles.[Jongware] Apr 5, 2012 1:26 AM (in response to KelThan)
1. Create a character style for your Wingdings
2. Add a GREP style to the paragraph style you are using for these lists. Have it apply thing Wingdings style to the GREP string
3. Then, for each of your list, select it and run this GREP Find/Change on your selection. Search for:
Replace with:
\x{F072} $0
3. Re: Checkboxes (Wingdings) to multiple words (Arial) in same sentence using styles.KelThan Apr 5, 2012 10:56 AM (in response to Michael Gianino)
Will try! Txs. Will these also capitalize the first letter of the term (Arial capitalized)?
Another consideration is that usually the OCR doesn't recognize the checkbox but rather recognizes it as a "D" or "O". Usually I use a find/replace mechanism and do it very carefully as not to replace a proper "D" or "O".
Thank you very much!

I have been avoiding this post for some time now. I guess i just did not feel it right to write about someone who i know is going to read a post about themselves and it is about dying, but this is just too big of a topic in my life right now to ignore any longer. It is also something that is being discussed openly now between ourselves so i suppose it is time to talk about it here.
I always would ask, which would be worse, being like my grandma on my moms side who passed away earlier this year, having dementia and losing your memory but still healthy as a horse? (She would take long walks but often not know where she walked once she got there!), OR be like my great aunt on my dads side (and my dad just the same), to be sharp as a tack up until the very end but have the body TOTALLY break down in the process. So, is it better for your mind to go or your body to go??
I have gone back and forth with this over the years. I used to say that severe pain would impact the choice of body breaking but there is something to be said for having your wits till the end. It is a hard choice to make and thankfully, fate or the gods are the ones that decide that for each of us if we are lucky enough to grow old and die from it.
I know life is an ephemeral and fleeting and nothing lasts forever, so why are we so hard wired to not want those around us to ever leave us? We all know logically that we are only guaranteed 2 things in life. 1. We get a ticket to planet earth when we are born, and 2. we get a ticket home when its time to go. I like to see it as "vacation on planet earth". Your vacation can go one of two ways… really good or really bad. It can be influenced by where you have to take your vacation but it does not make it a guarantee that you will have a fabulous or terrible vacation simply due to location. However, if you get chosen to "soul up" a body in Darfur, your chances of having a super fun and easy vacation are probably going to be hard to come by. But, that doesnt mean that you can not hopefully change the location and improve your trip. On the other hand, you could be "souled in" to a body of a multi-millionaire's baby and be brought up with all of the luxuries that one could imagine and be isolated or treated so poorly that it does not matter because your vacation on planet earth is just one nightmare walking amongst priceless artifacts and long cold hallways. I think that is why happiness has much less to do with economics than it does with community.
Anyway, back to my original issue. The thing that is so tough right now is… well, several things… But, one of them is that there are questions that can only be answered by them and this is your last chance to ask them. What is it that i need to ask? Once they are gone, the information they hold in their brains goes too. You only have this chance to ask all of the questions that only this one person can answer. AND you can not think of the questions that should be asked. (i think this is one of Murphy's laws (btw… who the heck is Murphy anyway?? Poor bastard must have had the most frustrating life!!).
The other thing that is so tough is letting the sick person see that you are effected by their sickness. I do not want to cry to their face because i am so gutted that i am losing one of the most important and influential people in my life. I want to appear strong so not to scare them. I do not want them to see how hard it is for me because i can only imagine how hard it is for them.
I feel like time is going in slow motion, yet it is blazing past me and with each minute that ticks by, is one less minute i am on earth with them.
I think it would be so much easier on our psyches if we knew what happened to us after passing. If you are religious, you probably automatically believe what you are told to believe. However, since we have other things that we experience here on earth that we have no explanation for that could possibly tie into our souls local's upon vacating the body (such as remembering past lives, old souls and ghosts) that it adds a variable of the unknown and hope i think that something is in place for us. I do not think we are comforted by the thought that after dying our soul just evaporates and vanishes. How could something so strong as a soul which assisted our will to live while in life, and is invisible anyway, just disappear. I think (maybe just for convenience) we like to think that there is a place for our souls to go after this life. The not knowing is the tough part, but also i suppose the part that keeps us as simple people and not as the mighty "God" which i think in life, we forget sometimes.
I know i am not really making any specific point here, but i just need this to start the conversation that i have on loop in my head. My dad is dying. He is my best friend and probably the one single person that influenced who i have become more than anyone else so far in my life. We all know it and we are talking about it (which is very strange when it is with the person who is doing the dying!) I thought it would be more uncomfortable talking the hard real truth's with him but now that we are here, it is not hard, it is just so scary and sad.
I know that this is just the natural cycle of life and that if it did not happen, then we would have something really to worry about! But it doesnt make it any easier at all. This is a game changer for me. It is usually for most of us even if we do not have a very good or any relationship with our parent.
In what way my life and personality will be affected is unknown to me at this point. In fact the impression will be so huge, i dare not even speculate, but i do know that it will change my life.
I suppose when we experience loss, in a way, the gods are clearing out our lives and throwing us out into the unfamiliar world again to start anew but with newly found or understood skills to make the next path taken with a slightly different approach or a different set of desires.
Usually when i find myself in these types of places of rebuilding after major loss, i have found that when it is time to get up and go after those things i want out of life, the wants and the things and the needs have changed. Always they have simplified and become much more basic of wants and needs. It allows you to appreciate all that you were unable to realize while spoiled and familiar with the past experiences.
I am not (obviously) not looking forward to the soon future without the protection and love and friendship of my dad, but i embrace who i will become and what he has taught me once he is gone. I am just so lucky and blessed to be able to have the time now to ask those last important things as well as getting some things sorted out and understood which will make our job after he goes a lot easier and a lot less stressful. For that i am eternally grateful!
Regardless, it sucks how much we miss the ones we love once they are gone! At least, hopefully for me, the pain will help to create new art. And i can say that it is because of my dad that i made it on this occasion!
I love you dad!!

Billionaire investors George Soros and Louis Moore Bacon cut their stakes in exchange-traded products backed by gold last quarter as futures dropped the most in more than eight years. John Paulson maintained his holding.
Soros Fund Management LLC reduced its investment in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest fund backed by the metal, by 55% to 600,000 shares as of Dec. 31 from three months earlier, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed yesterday. Bacon's Moore Capital Management LP sold its entire stake in the SPDR fund and lowered holdings in the Sprott Physical Gold Trust. Paulson & Co., the largest investor in SPDR, kept its stake at 21.8 million shares.
The fourth-quarter decisions by Soros and Bacon may bolster speculation that gold's 12-year bull-run is coming to an end as economic data from the U.S. to China show signs of recovery, curbing haven demand. Global ETP holdings have lost 0.9% since reaching a record on Dec. 20. UBS AG reduced its one-month price target yesterday by 6.8%, saying economic optimism "takes the shine off defensive assets," including bullion. Gold futures fell to a five-month low today.
"The reduction in holdings by George Soros may unnerve the market a little bit," said Nick Trevethan, a senior commodities strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. "The market may also be watching Paulson, and those are steady."
Gold futures for April delivery fell as much as 1.4% to $1,613 an ounce on the Comex, the lowest since Aug. 20, and was at $1,613.30 at 9 a.m. in New York. The most-active contract, which has lost 3.7% this year, declined 5.5% in the final three months of 2012, the biggest quarterly decline since June 2004.
'Downside Risks'
Hedge funds have cut bets on a gold rally by 56% since reaching a 13-month high in October as manufacturing rebounded from the U.S. to China. It's increasingly probable that prices peaked in 2011 and so-called downside risks are building as the world expands, Tom Kendall, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG in London, said in a report e-mailed Feb. 1. Futures rallied to $1,923.70 on Sept. 6, 2011.
Growth will accelerate in the U.S. and China, the two largest economies, in the coming quarters, according to more than 100 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. In the U.S., claims for jobless benefits dropped 27,000 to 341,000 in the week to Feb. 9, fewer than any of the 49 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected, the Labor Department said yesterday.
Lone Pine Capital LLC, the hedge fund run by Stephen Mandel Jr., and Scout Capital Management LLC sold their entire stakes in the SPDR Gold Trust in the quarter, filings showed.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 92 years in prison for a shooting at a fraternity house in Ohio last year in which one man was killed and 11 others were wounded.
The (Youngstown) Vindicator (http://bit.ly/PRQESN) reports that 23-year-old Columbus Jones Jr. was sentenced Thursday after being convicted of murder and other charges.
Prosecutors say Jones left a frat party at Youngstown State after an argument on Feb. 6, 2011, then came back with a gun and started shooting. Police say Youngstown State senior Jamail Johnson was killed while trying to usher a group of partygoers away from the gunfire and out of harm's way.
Several others were charged in connection with the shooting.
