[Another break from engineering today...more on symmetry...and asymmetry]
Plato, who lived in Athens from (429 to 347 BC), believed that there exists a realm of perfect, ideal shapes. He believed that the shapes we see, such as the circles we try to draw on pieces of paper, are but imperfect Earthly forms of a perfect, eternal ideal that we can't see.
The idea that everything is but an imperfect example of a smaller set of pure objects might be fine and dandy for certain mathematical objects, such as the circle or the five Platonic solids (tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron), but the idea of a perfect object breaks down for living creatures. Unfortunately, the philosophy of idealism as developed by Plato and Socrates hindered the eventual development of the theory of evolution because many people believed that each species was related only to its eternal ideal form, and not to other species. I will point out in this post the error in thinking that there could be such a thing as a perfect cat or a perfect elephant or a perfect homo sapiens.
Throughout the history of life, there have been "either/or" symmetry-breaking moments. One of the first examples was when life forms used and grew only left-handed amino acids, instead of right-handed amino acids. (For more information on the difference between left and right handed molecules follow this link.) I think it's important to stop and ask: why did life develop the ability to use only left-handed amino-acids? (Note that there are a few bacteria that use right handed amino-acids, but the overwhelming majority use left-handed amino-acids.) It turns out that this is still an open question because the evidence scientists have collected to answer the question doesn't directly confirm any one theory.
Here's the main evidence collected so far to try to answer this question.
1) The Miller-Urey experiments produced both left-handed and right-handed amino acids in equal amounts. This suggests that the left vs. right choice was a fluke, i.e. there was a 50%-50% chance that one type would dominate, and perhaps there was a 50% chance that we would have used only right-handed molecules instead.
2) Meteors seem to produce 7%-9% more left-handed than right-handed amino-acids. This suggests that perhaps left-handed amino-acids survive better than right-handed one, but even a 7%-9% initial difference means that there's still a large chance that life could have developed the use of right-handed molecules instead. Even so, we are left with multiple questions: a) why aren't ~40% of the bacteria able to right handed amino acids? b) why can't bacteria use both left and right handed amino acids...and both left and right handed sugars? c) why are there more left-handed than right handed amino acids on the meteors? d) What is the initial cause of the asymmetry and is the cause of the asymmetry in the meteors the same as the asymmetry on Earth.
3) We know of only one force in nature than can distinguish between left and right, and that's the weak nuclear force. This force does not conserve parity, i.e. the weak nuclear force can be used to distinguish left and right handed particles. For example, only left-handed neutrinos or right-handed anti-neutrinos can participate in reactions via the weak nuclear force. No other force is that unique (not gravity, not electromagnetism, and not the strong nuclear force.) But what does the weak nuclear force have to do with anything here on Earth? Or on the meteors mentioned above? Does the weak nuclear force have anything to do with why life developed the capability to use a certain chiral form of amino-acids, DNA and sugars, but not the opposite chiral form? I can't think of how this would be possible because life does not appear to be dependent on the weak nuclear force...only gravity to hold us on Earth, E&M to hold protons and electrons together, and the strong nuclear force to hold the nucleus together. I can't think of any way in which the weak nuclear force could effect the structure of large molecules like DNA, amino acids and sugars. (But if the weak nuclear force doesn't effect life, how does a human zygote nearly always develop such that the heart of the fetus is on the left side of the body? How does the zygote distinguish between left and right if gravity, E&M and the strong nuclear force can't distinguish between left and right? Does it rely on the handedness of DNA and amino acids?)
So, this leaves me with even more questions: Was the eventual dominance of left-versus-right due to initial offsets? (Perhaps the universe itself is asymmetric) Or more likely, was it just dumb luck? And by dumb luck, I mean: was it the particular chirality (i.e the handedness) of the first RNA or DNA that caused the exponential growth of a certain type of amino-acid via self-replication.
But there were so many left-right choices in the history of human development, that I'm pretty much forced to conclude that it was dumb luck, i.e. we could have developed the use of right handed amino acids. Other left-right 'choices' include: a) which side our heart develops b) which side of our brain develops certain storage locations c) why 90% of the population is right handed, and d) why the left testicle for men hangs lower than the right on average
The point I'm trying to make here is that there have been so many left-right (or up-down) choices in the history of life that there's no way to think that the left-left-up-right-down-right-up (etc...) that makes current humans was due to anything but dumb luck.
But how does this seemingly breaking of left-right symmetry stand up when compared to the Rosen-Curie Principle, which states that the symmetry of the effect is greater than the symmetry of the cause. If life can only become more symmetric, then how can we account for the dominance of left-handed amino-acids? Why does only one type of amino acid grow exponentially? In order to not violate the Rosen-Curie Principle, we must accept that the universe was not perfectly mirror symmetric to start, because if it were perfectly mirror symmetric to start, then there would be no way to have only left-handed amino acids grow exponentially. This suggests that the initial conditions of the universe were not left-right symmetric. It is very likely that the universe started in a state of low symmetry.
And now, I'd like to show how Gödel's incompleteness theorem effectively destroys Plato's idea that there could be such a thing as an ideal or universal 'tree' or 'bird.'
Gödel showed that, for sufficiently strong and well-formed set of axioms like the set of axioms for arithmetic, there are statements (that we'll call 'G') that can't be prove to be true or false. And further, if we now add a new axiom to the set of axioms which states "G is false" or an axiom which states "G is true", there will be new statements (that we'll call F & H) that can't be proved to be true or false in the new sets of axioms. We could continue...in a set of axioms with "G is true" and "H is true" there will be a statement 'J' which can not be proven to be true or false, and this means that we can now add either "J is true" or "J is false" and make a new set of axioms...which will still be incomplete...i.e. there will still be statements out there which can't be proven to me true or false.
And now, I'd like to make an analogy with life.
It's as if life is a program for generating new programs. When it reaches an axiom (i.e. food) that it can't determine whether it fits into its existing program, it has to make a choice and either include the axiom as true (i.e. left-handed food) or false (i.e. right-handed food.) Once it makes the decision, then all future programs make statements and new programs assuming that the axiom is true (or false.) There's generally no going back. Then, later on, it runs into a new axiom. Will it accept the axiom as true (create left-hand amino-acids) or false (create right-handed amino-acids)? There's no right answer to the question: should we accept this axiom as true or false? It's like we're little Gödel-esque programs constantly trying to calculate the truth or falseness of certain statements, and when we come upon a statement G that we can't prove is either true or false, we simple make a choice and incorporate either "G is true" or "G is false" into our set of programs.
The analogy here is between "truth & false" and "right and left handed." (This is not intended to be a perfect analogy; it's only intended to convey the sense that there seem to be a lot of times in the history of life in which there were completely arbitrary choices made between left-handed and right-handed chemical, just as the choice of either adding the statement "G is true" or adding the statement "G is false" is completely arbitrary. There was no way to prove that G was true or false, so you just pick one and move on.)
In the case of mathematical sets of axioms, you have to pick "G is true" or "G is false." You can't pick both. (Or else you don't have a consistent set of axioms.) But is the same true for life? Could bacteria have developed the capability to harness both left and right handed food molecules? Perhaps it did initially. But if so, why did that ambidextrous form of life not out grow and out multiple the only-left or only-right handed lifeforms? You'd think that a bacteria that could use both left and right handed molecules could grow faster than a bacteria that could only use one handedness of molecules. What's the advantage to just-left or just-right molecules?
My guess is that trying to use both types ends up creating DNA molecules that are both right and left handed, and since left-handed DNA will not match up with right handed DNA, there might be a problem with trying to use both right and left handed amino-acids. The use of certain sugars probably also stems from the fact that sugars are the backbone of DNA. You can't afford to have waste your time building a strand of DNA and then have a wrong-handed sugar molecule show up and ruin the spiral.
Life 'choses' one handedness over the other, and this happened over and over and over again throughout the development of life.
And so now we see the problem with Plato's idea that there is a world of ideal forms. There is no such thing as an ideal form for living creatures because an ideal form can't be arbitrary. If life is made up of sets of arbitrary choices between left and right, then there is no such thing as an ideal life form because how could an 'ideal life form' be arbitrary. For example, would the ideal 'tree' use left or right handed amino-acids? Would that same 'ideal tree' spiral clockwise or counterclockwise as it grew?
Each living creature is like those sets of axioms that Gödel thought about...it is made up a series of completely arbitrary choices between left and right. Living creatures are irreducibly complex. There are just too many arbitrary left-right choices, and each of those left-right choices means that there is no ideal species. For example, would the ideal human have their heart on the left or the right? Would it be in the middle?
As the physicist Roger Penrose wrote, "If the axiom of choice [i.e. "G is true" or "G is false"] is a mere matter of opinion or of arbitrary decision, then the Platonic world of absolute mathematical forms contains neither the axiom of choice nor its negation." Penrose is suggesting here that mathematics (such as algebra) can't exist in some Platonic ideal world becuase the choice of axioms are completely arbitrary. We can continue with Penrose's thinking in "The Road to Reality"... There is no such thing as a generally true mathematic statement. There's only statements that are true if you assume axiom x,y,z,... are true. But if you assume a different set of starting axoims, then the statement might not be true. For example, is the statement "The sum of all angle for a triangle equal to 180 degrees" a true statement? It's true if you assume certain axioms (such as for planar geometry), but it's not a true statement if you assume different axioms (such a hyperbolic geometry.) So,we can't even say that "The sum of all angle for a triangle equal to 180 degrees" is always a true statement.
Is there somebody to tell us which set of axioms is true? The answer is no. Can God tell us whether the statements of mathematics are always true? The answer, once again, is no.
The laws of mathematics are not handed down to us from God or some Platonic realm of ideal equations. And further, Plato's ideal world can not hold life forms because it can't contain such impure 'left-handed' creatures, such as we are. While it's tough to ponder the abundance of arbitrary choices between left and right, I think that it's an interest topic to discuss between there are a lot of open question:
1) Why did life develop the capability to use only left handed amino acids? (Nearly only left)
2) How does a zygote distinguish between left from right if the three forces that effect life (gravity, E&M and SN) are left-right symmetric? Does the zygote use the chirality of molecules to tell the difference? In which case, we go back to question #1.
What's so ironic is that Gödel considered himself to be a Platonist, i.e. he believed to some extent that mathematical truths exist outside of this world. But his first and second incompleteness theorems, as well as his work on arbitrariness of the axioms of set theory, are the last nail in the coffin of Platonism because his research proves the arbitrariness of the axioms that we use in mathematics, and this is very similar to the arbitrariness of many of the left-right 'choices' that life has made throughout its exist on Earth.

War can even make you lose your pride and control
It happens when surviving's your primal goal
There was a clever woman, proud to be free
That was a time too wrong for peace
She left her man but she liked love
So she became an exotic dancer to live
She dominated leaders and kings
Reality and fiction mixed up and then
She played parts and she had no scruples
She went too far and finally she was processed
Erotic games are dangerous, she was arrested!
Executed as a spy
Staring proud at warriors
Pointing at her
Ice in her eyes, never trembling
You will never kill
My courage
What the hell is going on, they're pointing at me
But I'm a mistress and soon they will see
That all I want is to break all their plans
And all the gold will fall in my hands
Dangerous seductress
Spy or just a dancer?
She had to meet her fate
And no one would claim her body

IRVINE, CA (June 19, 2003) – Doesn't it seem like 24 hours just isn't enough? The baby boomer generation is now 50-something and feeling the effects of family, traffic and work. Fast-paced jobs, meetings and traveling, take a toll on the body, especially the joints.
An estimated 18 million Americans suffer from some form of arthritis. By age 65, approximately 75 percent of the population has some evidence of Osteoarthritis, the most common form. While prescription and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs continue to grow, many people are looking for more natural alternatives.
A rapid up and comer in the nutritional supplements industry, Dynamic Nutritional Products now introduces its new triple combination Glucosamine/Chondroitin & MSM Capsules. Available through natural product retailers, the combination supplement provides support for healthy joint function, helping busy adults keep up with the demands of everyday life.
The triple combo formula provides the ideal combination of glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and MSM. The amount and quality of the ingredients in the capsules target various areas of need, maximizing benefits to the joints. In addition, the triple combo contains buffered vitamin C and manganese, which completes the ideal formula for enhanced overall living.
To provide ease for adults who have difficulty swallowing, the triple combo is now available in easy to swallow capsules, as well as tablets.
"Because each ingredient supports healthy joint function but does so from a different physiological direction, we can infer that the combined effects would be at least additive and possibly more," said Mike Smith, vice president and general manager. "Providing this formula in capsule form simply makes this terrific product available to a much wider audience."
A benefit to retailers and consumers alike, this new formula combines three of the most popular supplements in the natural products industry into one, easy to swallow capsule. Tablets are available in 90 and 180 sizes, capsules are available in 120 size.
A company that pledges a "Commitment to Quality" without the confusion of industry jargon, Dynamic Nutritional Products provides labeling that is clear with full disclosure on all ingredients for maximum clarity of information.

Tom L. Johnson Statue, Cleveland, Ohio
Occupying a prominent position in the northwestern quadrant of Cleveland's Public Square is the fine bronze statue of seated Tom L. Johnson, the city's reformist Democratic Mayor from 1901 to 1909.
Born in Georgetown, Kentucky in July of 1854, Tom Loftin Johnson relocated to Cleveland in his mid-forties after a very successful business career licensing his patented trolley pay-boxes. He invested in the growth of railways and streetcars, eventually becoming primary owner and president of the Detroit City Railways company. Before moving to Northeast Ohio, he had also had a previous stint in politics, serving as a member of the U. S. Congress in the early 1890s.
Johnson is considered one of the leading lights of progressive public policies in the United States. He expanded park systems and advocated a number of efforts to improve the lives of ordinary citizens — the creation of public baths, the institution of inspection standards for meat and dairy products, the lowering of public transit fees and fares, and the streamlining of municipal government. The noted journalist and lecturer Joseph Lincoln Steffens referred to Johnson as "the best Mayor of the best-governed city" in America.
Created by sculptor Herman N. Matzen, this memorial statue was unveiled in 1915, and is regally framed by both the historic gray edifice of Old Stone Church and the rusticated red stone exterior of The Society for Savings Building rising behind it. The seated former Mayor is depicted grasping a copy of American writer Henry George's political and economic treatise, "Progress and Poverty".

|Mobile & Cell Phone Information
Should Your Teenage Have A Cellular Phone?
The time has come and your teenager has asked for one but you're not sure if you should supply one or not. No were not talking about a car. This is the digital age we mean the cellular phone. Perhaps no other decision has caused so much alarm and grief (aside from a credit card) then if you should give your teenage their own cellular phone. The cellular phone companies would advocate for allowing your teenage the use of a cell phone. And certainly there is merit to that suggestion. After all teenagers can use the cell phone in times of emergency such as breaking down on the side of the road or needing a ride home. Don't forget that nearly half of today's teenagers already have a cell phone. Leaving your teenager without one could affect their cool factor with their friends and other teenagers. There probably exist many other emergency situations in which your loved one would need a cell phone.
Unfortunately many teenagers seem to think there is always a crisis going on and ultimately end up using their cell phone for almost everything to include calling and text messaging their friends in no time flat. They may even call you every once in a while. This can result in their using all of the minutes allowed in the cheap, just for emergencies calling plan you selected before the month is halfway over.
For this reason many parents are advocate the use of prepaid cellular phones for teenagers. With a prepaid cell phone, the phone comes loaded with a set number of minutes when you buy it. You add more calling minutes as you need them. There's no annual contract or monthly bills to worry about.
Phone features are something you should really look for when deciding on what prepaid cellular phone provider to use. Some of the free features you should look for include the following:
FREE Roaming
We hope this information has been helpful in your decision on whether or not to purchase a cell phone for your teenager. Now you only have to worry about the cellular phone accessories that they want to get for their new prepaid cellular phone.

At a liberal-arts college like Dickinson, the happiness of young adults is of primary importance to faculty and administrators, not to mention students. Worldwide, however, more and more people are beginning to worry about the happiness of older populations. With the exception of France and the U.K., all the countries of Western Europe have total fertility rates under the replacement level of 2.0. The United States has been under replacement level for the past two years, and its total fertility rate has been declining since 2008. Combined with the success of the modern welfare state in improving overall health, projections of future populations worldwide skew decidedly old.
In Japan, where references to the "low-fertility, high-aging society" (shoshi koreika shakai) appear regularly in governmental reports and popular media, consciousness of this demographic shift is particularly acute. Since 1989, when its birth rate hit what was then an all-time low of 1.57 births per woman, the Japanese government has taken measures to encourage couples to have more children. And while the birth rate has not increased significantly, the number of elderly continues to rise. Japan currently has the highest proportion of older adults in the world, with nearly a quarter of its population over the age of 65. In response, the country has begun exploring technical solutions to the problems posed by demographic change, particularly the development of robots for use in the service sector and in domestic spaces.
One of the first fruits of these efforts is a robot called Paro. Developed at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Paro looks like a baby harp seal, complete with synthetic white fur. This fur masks a sophisticated robotic skeleton, which is controlled by two 32-bit CPUs that process information received from sensors in its body, whiskers, ears and eyes. Paro can learn to respond to the voice of its "owner" and to use of its own "name" in multiple languages. Eleven actuators enable it to respond physically by blinking and moving its head, front paws and hind limbs back and forth. A tiny speaker provides audio feedback in the form of occasional squeals.
Sounds and movements are produced not directly in response to the actions of a handler but are generated by internal software programming that runs sensor data through artificial intelligence algorithms, thus creating more unpredictable, "lifelike" behavior. All of this technology is directed toward making the end user—usually an elderly person—happy.
Over the past few years, I have observed how care workers use Paro not only in Japan but also in Denmark, where the robot has been adopted enthusiastically. In most cases, Paro is used in interactions with elderly residents suffering with dementia. Nearly to a person the care workers attested to Paro's ability to provide enjoyment and generate positive feelings in these residents. They emphasized the power of interaction with Paro to change negative emotions to positive ones, agitation to tranquility. In some cases, Paro was described in almost miraculous terms as the only device capable of making a particular resident happy or sociable. In others, it was thought of as a machine that could provide a momentary distraction or diversion for a resident who might be in a bad mood.
For some care workers, this change in affect was an end in itself. Much more commonly, however, care workers told me that the positive emotions Paro elicited also enabled them to provide better care. They liked to use Paro "so that …": "so that it is easier for me to communicate with her; so that it is easier for me to change her diaper; so that it is easier for me to help her shower; or so that it is easier for me to get her to eat," and so on. Paro thus has a positive effect on the work lives of those who care for the elderly as well as on the everyday lives of older adults themselves.
The robot Japan produced in response to a looming demographic crisis might then signal a new era of elder care, one in which the emotional needs of older adults are as important to support, for themselves and for their caregivers, as their material needs for food, shelter and medicine.

…And, unfortunately, she doesn't know what that quite means — given her answer in a TIME interview published yesterday. The piece doesn't start out all that well when it mentions other female celebs who've either branded themselves with the label or shunned it completely, as though it was the hottest trend right now: to be or not to be a feminist! Woodley chose her side by declaring herself not a feminist when the interviewer pointed out her conscious effort regarding which messages she conveys to her young female fans. This was what she had to say:
TIME: …Do you consider yourself a feminist?
Shailene Woodley: No because I love men, and I think the idea of 'raise women to power, take the men away from the power' is never going to work out because you need balance.
Just so we're clear, here's the definition of Feminism as found on dictionary.com:
fem·i·nism [fem-uh-niz-uhm]
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. feminine character.
I'm confused. Nowhere in this definition do I see women overthrowing men, as though it's a gender monarchy where only one gender will rule over them all. Last I checked, feminism was about creating equality between all genders, because guess what Shailene? There isn't any, and a perfect example of this is that on average women make less money than men do for the same exact work (Canada/USA). And, right now, women are fighting for control over their bodies in the United States which is an issue that men don't have to experience. It's not about the oppressive group becoming the oppressors, in the same way that African Americans wouldn't have become oppressors in their fights for equality during the Civil Rights movement. Equality has always been feminism's mission statement from the beginning; making up a definition for it without any research is passing on misconceptions to the same young female audience that Woodley is so conscious about.
Another misconception is that being a feminist and loving men are mutually exclusive. No! They're not. There are feminists that love men just fine. In fact, there are men out there that self identify as feminists and act supportively in the movement. Weird, right? Since we're debunking myths:
- not all feminists have armpit hair, and not all feminists don't!
- not all feminists are lesbians, but there are lesbians who are feminists!
- on the whole, we do not practice blood sacrifices to a pagan god and/or Satan!
- there isn't a test you have to take to be a feminist! Do you believe women should control their own bodies? Do you think women should make their own choices and HAVE choices? Is your daughter attending university with your support and encouragement? Do you hate oppressing an entire group of people based on their gender? If yes, you're a feminist! Hurray!
See? If you just looked up feminism or did your research, we wouldn't be in this awkward situation.
Woodley, overall, advocates for sisterhood and uses the film The Other Woman as an example (despite it being a film about women banding together to take down a man). I'm not calling the film pro-feminist or anti-feminist. I'm not saying that these women taking down this cheating dude is wrong. I'm pointing out, as the original interviewer begins to, that after having given her view of feminism as a mechanism of attacking the poor "man", she used a film where sisterhood was formed over taking down a particular dude as evidence.
I'll just let that sit there for a bit.
Look, Woodley is probably a great girl. She intrigues people off screen due to her anti-Hollywood image in the same way that Jennifer Lawrence began to when she first stepped onto the scene. But this isn't the first time she's said something ridiculous (calling John Green 'the Prophet of YA' last month) and all I can say is that the upside to being a regular person is being able to say something ignorant and being corrected without having the whole world watch it happen. Guess we need to think before we speak twice as much when we're public figures.
There have been people who've defended Woodley's words by asking, "Why does she have to label herself?"
Why? Because, ladies and gentleman, words are a powerful thing. There's power in saying them and there's power in keeping them quiet. Woodley is hurting the cause for equality by not only maintaining existing misconceptions, but also by not associating herself with a word designed for use in solidarity between women and their allies. That's not just on Woodley but those other celebrities as well, who like to dance around the word for whatever reason they may have. "Feminist" has history, and, by not declaring yourself, by deciding who is or isn't a feminist by becoming gatekeepers, by not understanding the various discriminations within gender that come to play like socio-economic status, race, sexual orientation etc, we're just shooting ourselves in the foot.
Shailene was right about one thing: we do need sisterhood. Too bad her refusal to use "feminist" is misrepresenting the sisterhood she's hoping for.8 comments

Hi folks,
I am looking for a new pair of binocs for birding and close-focusing on insects. My husband's (Eagle Optics Ranger) focus to 3 feet, so I'd like something similar: waterproof, lightweight, etc. My problem is that my eyes are close together. I don't see any information in the specs on your web page about the interpupillary distance. What is it for the Vortex Viper HD 8 X 32?
My Nikon, not roof prism, is about 55mm for that interpup. distance.
Thanks a lot,
Kitti R.
Thanks for your inquiry. The IPD on the 8x32 Viper HD is 58mm. Depending on what exactly you need, this may be a bit too big. It's hard to find a roof-prism model with a narrower IPD. The offerings are limited but I have a few suggestions that may work:
8x32 Zeiss Conquest HD: 53mm IPD and close focus of 4.2 feet.
Atlas Intrepid ED 7x36: 54mm IPD and close focus of 5'
Opticron Verano 8x32: 55mm IPD and close focus of 4.9'
The Verano is very similar to the Viper HD while the Zeiss Conquest is certainly a bit of an upgrade. The Intrepid is a less expensive alternative with a narrower IPD.
If you have any other questions or if I can help you further, please let me know.
Best regards,
Eagle Optics

I prefer the clumping litter, and Pounds-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-r are selling it at 99p for a 10kg bag. It's Bob Martin, a white bag with red lettering. It's a basic value product, a mixture of all the different types they make in the factory. I have been using it for a couple of years and find it ok. It has also been for sale in Home B@rg@ins, and £ shops. Supermarket brands of the same size are from £1.30 to £1.60, so a good saving.

Ensenada Surfing Holiday
June 18-21, 2013
Surfing is one of the many reasons vacationers flock to the Baja Peninsula and Pacific coast cities like Ensenada. Novices to world-class surfers love the wave action off the coast of Baja California and Baja California Sur. The upcoming Surf Week Celebration in Ensenada is held from June 18-21, 2013 and will feature activities and, of course, surfing in honor of International Surfing Day June 20th. The International Surfing date varies from year to year but is always celebrated around the summer solstice. Anyone with a penchant for surfing might want to consider checking out Ensenada's exciting celebration this year.
Ensenada's Surf Week Celebration
Many activities and events are scheduled as part of the surfing celebration. The celebration is sponsored by Surf-Ens and CEARTE. Each day of the celebration will feature workshops and conferences related to surfing as well as surf industry expeditions. It's a great time for surfers to meet with vendors and other surfers to trade techniques and stories. Amateur surfing enthusiasts can also sign up for surfing lessons which are offered during the celebration days. Additionally, surfing movies will also be shown. Most of the events and expeditions will be held at Centro Estatal de las Artes Ensenada on Blvd. Lázaro Cárdenas and Av. Club Rotario. On Saturday, a big fiesta is scheduled to top off the celebration. All in all, the event highlights the importance of surfing in Ensenada and celebrates the city's surfing culture. It's a phenomenal time to visit Ensenada if you love to surf and want to learn more about the sport.
The Surfing Scene in Ensenada
Ensenada enjoys a rich surfing culture. With its nearby "Killers" beach known more regularly to tourists as Todos Santos, surfers have been heading to the area since roughly about the 1940s. Ensenada is a great home base for surfers who want to check out the action at various beaches. The city boasts a myriad of surf shops where surf boards can be rented and other items like sunscreen can be purchased. The waters off the Baja Peninsula get colder as you head south. This is due to the currents and underwater canyons that contribute to the cool water climate. The water is much colder than the waters off Southern California, for instance, so expert surfers suggest packing your suit if you plan to head south of Ensenada.
Ensenada's beaches attract travelers from all over the world. There are luxury hotels and villas and simple hostels that are economical and provide basic amenities. In short, there are plenty of accommodations to suit any budget. Surfers, naturally, love to stay near the water and there are campgrounds and RV parks as well as world-class resorts to consider. With its gorgeous scenery and unsurpassed sunrises and sunsets over the Pacific, Ensenada's beaches are famous throughout the world. There are also plenty of other water sports to enjoy like sailing, scuba, and snorkeling. If you happen to be planning a weekend getaway, the Ensenada Surf Week Celebration is a wonderful time to visit this summer. You'll meet plenty of other surfing enthusiasts and enjoy all the attractions that Ensenada has to offer!

I'm sorry to hear how you feel... Unfortunately I think a lot of people feel the same way sometimes. I do sometimes...
Lyme is but you can beat it. Hang in there!
What kind of treatment do you have?
1. Something I am quickly learning is to stop caring what people think. If I get better, this will definitely be one of the "gifts" I take away from this experience. They will never know what it feels like unless they actually had to live the experience. Take comfort in knowing that there are people (here on the forums) that do know what it feels like which definitely verifies that you are not crazy. You know that you are not crazy and that is all that counts in the end.
2. Dr. Burrascano had to take Ceftin for 23 months before he got better... and that was just his first step of recovery. He had to go through two more steps to get better. We have all heard stories that it can take some time. Personally I am in utter disbelief that it can take a few years to get better, but it at least brings me down to earth when I worry about how long it has been. I also realize that my Lyme symptoms snuck up on me over a period of a few years, so it would seem logical that it would take some time to get better.
3. Ah...if I had a nickel for every time I thought I was being punished with Lyme for something I did, I would be a rich man. Honestly though...look at all the evil in this world that goes on daily. Do you really think that in the grand scheme of things you are being punished for some possible minor transgression while these other people get no retribution? If anything this forum has taught me is that all of us seem to be pretty decent people, yet we all have Lyme. Try comparing yourself to this group (to which you belong) and stop comparing yourself unfairly to normal people. When you are back to normal, then start comparing yourself to normal people again.
4. I have this feeling too. It's hard to do, but I also realize that >>IF<< there is a path to wellness again, it certainly isn't going to be achieved with negative thoughts. It's pretty simple really; will you get well faster with positive thoughts or negative thoughts? I think we all know the answer in our hearts. There are plenty of stories of people who get well after having Lyme, but there certainly are far, far less of people with Cancer, HIV, Kidney Failure, Liver failure, etc... You see where I'm going with this. Lyme is horrible, but it could be worse. Also, in the grand scheme of things, if I never get well, I want to be able to die knowing that I tried everything possible to get myself well. I don't want to be handed some flimsy excuse in heaven that I didn't think positive. I want to go to heaven and say to God's face...here I am, and I tried EVERYTHING reasonable to get better. Positive thinking is a reasonable requirement for an attempt to get well again. But in all fairness, what any of us consider "everything" will be different from person to person. Even so, positive thinking is the least you could do to help yourself.
5. I feel the same way about my wife and after much thought, I'm going to have to throw this ball back into God's court. There is nothing I can do to change how this is affects her. It's one of those darned if you do and darned if you don't things. Personally, I wish I could let my wife move on and start over...even if I eventually get healthy. It is not fair that her life has to be put on hold, but unfortunately the world is set up so that you can't do that because of the social and ethical stigmas that would be associated with it. So for worse, our spouses are STUCK with us, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my wife has done nothing to deserve THIS. So, like I said, after much thinking on the matter, I'll let God explain it to her since it's his plan that forced her into this situation. Just for the record, I'm not mad at God, I just have come to some very realistic expectations regarding my situation and his role in my life. That being said, if you think about all the other heinous acts in the world that happen every day, the explanation he gives my wife will pale in comparison to what he will give to others. Just another way of saying, it could be worse I guess. What you should take away from this is that its not your fault, and you are unfairly shouldering the burden of something that you had no control over.
6. I agree with you there. Again, thinking on this matter for some time, I honestly believe that we are living in the proverbial hell, or at least this world is really just one big test. Why is it that everything in this world is geared towards making your health worse (aging, disease, accidents, murder) but there is no equally strong opposite that allows us to gain better health? It's either a normal bill of health or declining health...there is no super level of health. I feel like we are unfairly confined to one half of the spectrum. Medicine, if we are lucky, only brings us back to the normal level of health, but there is nothing in this world one can do that will result in superior health. Why can't there be an "infection" or an act or a chance occurrence that results in superior health instead of worsening health? So I'm with you on this point.
I'm glad you came here to vent...to people who understand what you are going through. This always helps me. Also, find some small things that make you happy and do them as much as you like without feeling guilty. I know that I watch a lot of TV now and will spend a little extra on DVDs and such because I know they make me feel a little better. So treat yourself well in the areas that you still can!! Hang in there!!
Post Edited (Chris L) : 11/10/2008 2:05:14 PM (GMT-7)
A note of hope-I was so sick from lyme, bart and babs. I couldn't leave the house, could only sit for a few minutes, had a racing heart, dizzy.. you name it. On antibiotics for 18 months straight..little improvement. I felt my kids deserved a better mom, my husband a wife.
Suddenly, around 20 months in..my symptoms started to disappear. I finished 2 years of meds..it was pure h#ll. However, my family statred with me..that's what love is.
I worked a full day today, made dinner, waiting to fold the laundry, then clean up the kitchen. I'm tired, but doing great. I have been off abx 1 month (Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer for me)
It does get better-for some of us, it's not gradual..it was like I went from all bad days to mainly good ones overnight.
I feel the same way and have no dx yet which is very hard for me. Drs think I am just stressed, and my friends are calling me a hypochondriac. I am stressed because I dont know what is wrong with my body and I feel it getting worse and I am not a hypo but its hard not to think you have certain things when you have no dx yet for what is going on with your body.
I feel so hopeless over all of this and have never felt so low in my life.

After months of anticipation, the opening bell has finally sounded in the heavyweight bout between Paramount's "Titanic" and MGM's "Tomorrow Never Dies," both of which open in ultrawide release today.
There's still no consensus among box office observers as to which film will emerge as the weekend champ. Adding to the uncertainty is "Scream 2," which begins its second weekend after bowing to a holiday- record $39.2 million.
One thing is clear: Overall business — which last weekend was up an astounding 21% over the comparable frame a year earlier — will continue to soar. The question is, how much can the market expand during the busy pre-holiday period?
Market research indicates that interest in "Titanic" is huge. Extensive media coverage of the hugely expensive James Cameron-helmed disaster pic, which was originally scheduled for last July, has made "Titanic" one of the most anticipated films in recent memory.
Many B.O. prognosticators are betting on a $25-million-plus launch for the film.
But the picture's three-hour-plus running time could prove to be a liability — in the short term at least. Not only will the epic length cut into the number of seatings per day, but older audiences, preoccupied with shopping and holiday parties may opt to see a shorter picture this weekend, saving "Titanic" for a quieter time.
Also, "Titanic," which stars heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio, is likely to attract young females and teen couples on dates. But that's a demographic the picture will have to share with "Scream 2," which has been holding up remarkably well during the week, pulling in grosses of around $2 million per day. Even if it drops a hefty 60% from last weekend, it would still gross nearly $16 million.
On the other hand, "Tomorrow Never Dies" is likely to score higher with men of all ages, as well as African-American audiences. In fact, the film is tracking similarly to the previous Bond installment, "Goldeneye," which bowed to $26.2 million on Nov. 17, 1995, eventually grossing $106 million domestically.
Of course, that film didn't have to get into the ring with the likes of "Titanic" and "Scream 2." Many B.O. seers expect Bond to finish a close second, with more than $20 million.
Also opening wide this weekend is DreamWork's "Mouse Hunt." Tracking indicates little interest in the special effects-driven comedy, which faces competition from Disney's "Flubber" and Fox's "Home Alone 3." But kidpics are notoriously difficult to predict, so it's still too early to count this one out.

When Abdoulaye Sylla of the National Ballet of Guinea stepped into the dance studio at the Greater Hartford Academy of Performing Arts Thursday, a feeling of energy surged through the room.
Drums began beating loud and forcefully. Sylla jumped onto the floor, clapped his hands once and yelled, ``Let's go!''
Suddenly, the participants of an after-school African dance program began to imitate the animals of the Guinean forest. The high school-age dancers started jumping, stomping and weaving in and out of formations. Sylla joined the dance, intensely swinging his arms and legs high into the air.

The innovative Master in Business Administration (MBA) course is run with the Tyumen State University, with staff from both institutions providing tuition in Russia.
The Russian managers, most of whom have first degrees from Tyumen State University, praised the practical nature of the MBA, and the wide experience of the academic staff from the University of Wolverhampton Business School.
Professor Dom Wilson, Dean of the University of Wolverhampton Business School, said: "We are delighted by the success of these Russian students, and we plan to continue developing our links with Tyumen State University in the key areas of practitioner development and knowledge transfer, which are particular strengths of the University of Wolverhampton Business School. We wish these most recent Business School graduates every success in their future careers."
The joint degree programme was developed over the four years with the help of funding from the British Council's BRIDGE programme, and is the latest example of co-operation between the two institutions.
The universities in Wolverhampton and Tyumen have worked together on the development of English teaching programmes, environmental science projects, and several EU funded collaboration programmes for nearly 20 years.

I thought that since a new year is upon us (how were those hangovers kids?) that I would start it off with something a little spicier then usual; some advice for behind closed doors (open for some of you naughtier kids).
A good sex life takes time and effort to maintain. It won't always be easy — our busy lives are taxing and often leave us tired and devoid of the imagination and motivation required to keep up the pace. Having good sex doesn't necessarily mean spending hours and hours of frolicking; it can be as simple as doing something a little different just for a change.
Therefore, it's important to add a few more stimulating aspects to your sex life to keep things interesting.
Here are Gossip Guy's top 10 tips for better sex, which should keep the two of you hot for some time to come.
No.10 Blindfold Them
Sexual pleasure has many dimensions, but the most important sexual organ we have is our brain. When one sense is hindered, our other senses — via the brain — clamor to compensate. For example, a deaf person has increased sensory awareness — sight, smell, touch, and vibrations.
For our No. 10 entry on our top 10 tips for better sex, we're telling you that you can tap into this innate ability of ours and use it to your advantage. Blindfolding your partner increases their sensory awareness. They don't know where you are or what you are going to do next. This creates anticipation for better sex — the tease. Tease mercilessly with sensory objects, such as a feather or your tongue. Start off softly, as this excites nerve endings and makes them far more sensitive. Be careful not to over stimulate the nerve endings, however, because after a while the neurons stop firing with such intensity and the sensation becomes null and void.
No.9 Give Them Instructions
After a while you may think you know how to please your partner in every way, but this is very rarely true. There is always something you haven't tried, and there is bound to be something one of you always does that could be done differently.
To combat this for better sex, have a lesson session in which you don't think you know it all, and are at each others' mercy as teacher. Talk about things you haven't tried, but would like to, then choose one suggestion from each partner, and get down and dirty. We often get caught thinking we know what our partners like, and after a while it becomes "the way it's done." Lose this sex myth and put yourself in the student's chair for a while to achieve better sex.
No.8 Massage
Sensual touch is one of the most highly relaxing and sexy things you can do for your partner. Our bodies are almost without exception tense in some area, if not many areas. This hinders our energy flow — including sexual energy flow. Imagine a car that has a clogged fuel filter: The fuel (our energy) can't get to where it needs to go quickly and smoothly, and the car performs inefficiently.
A relaxing, sensual massage can unlock the body to some very intense orgasms and much better sex in the end. The ability to relax your partner in this way should be high on your list of skills to master. The same goes for them: The difference between a deeply relaxing massage and a sensual massage is in the manner of touch — you don't want to relax them too deeply because they will probably fall straight to sleep.
The key to better sex in this case is to keep the senses alert, but the body relaxed. This means a firm touch, coupled with some sensory feather light caresses. Once you've relaxed the major muscles — shoulders and back — work your way down to the buttocks. Strokes can then start to wander near to, but not on, her inner thighs, butt crease and endogenous zones. Don't forget the hands and feet — there are thousands of nerve endings in our hands and feet that are very sensitive to touch. If you have no idea what a good massage feels like or how to perform one, spend some time in "lesson time" with your partner and learn what you both like, or just run your hands all over her body — all over. Don't skip to the hot spots or you'll ruin the effect.
No.7 Have Them Dress Up
Pretending to be something you're not comes easily to some people. However, it has its benefits when done for fun. Stepping out of the role of being "yourself" can be a fun way to give each other permission to behave differently for better sex. Playing the role of someone else during sexual play is a very enjoyable way to give your partner some different sensations. Role playing is a great way to have better sex and to have fun with your partner in a lighthearted but sexy way — but don't forget that you can play too.
No.6 Tell Them Your Fantasies
Talking about your sexual fantasies with your partner is a very healthy form of sex play. It increases communication with your partner and helps you get to know each other better. Yes, you may be surprised by what comes out of their mouth, but this works both ways. Keep it light at first and don't throw them in the deep end with fantasies about people you both know or reveal fetishes you aren't sure about. Sit back with a glass of wine and keep your clothes on — for now. Fantasy play can also be incorporated into a game for better sex. Use your imagination and keep it sexy. Take it in turns and see where it leads you.
No.5 Play A Game
Get a pack of cards and play strip poker for better sex. It may seem like something you would have done when you were in high school (given the opportunity), but adult strip poker is a good way to get naked. Once you are both naked (or nearly naked), you can start on the really fun part: A loss means the other person gets to choose what action is performed on them by the loser. Time limits like one minute on said action means that it is a prolonged game of seduction, which by the end will have you both clamoring to be both the winner and the loser. There are many other games you can play "strip" to, as long as there is regular winner and loser rewards and punishments. The great part about these games is that you can both ask the other person to do something in a certain way that you may not necessarily have ever done before. It can get rather filthy, and definitely lead to better sex in the end.
No.4 Dirty Talk
Talking dirty has turned people on for decades and will continue to do so because it has something other sex play doesn't: words. Because our brains are our largest sexual apparatus, we respond to the spoken word automatically — especially when someone says our name. The spoken word evokes emotions, sensations and blood flow to various regions, depending on the topic.
This works very much in your favor when it comes to talking dirty to your lover because people are especially susceptible to what goes in their ears (and I don't mean cotton buds or ear candles). Talking dirty is, however, an art form and when done badly can result in fits of giggles (which, let's face it, ain't so bad but isn't quite the goal here). Don't let this deter you.
No.3 Try A New Position
You already know how to make them orgasm in two ways (probably). You repeat these regularly because they work — there's no harm in that. However, if you never try any new positions, how will you ever know? New positions need a reasonably high level of arousal in your lover, so choose your time to strike a new pose when they are quite obviously feeling very randy.
There is no limit to the number of ways to have sex, so you can use your imagination and come up with as many weird and wonderful inventions as you desire. Simply changing locations can dramatically change the position, so consider this too (for example, on top of the washing machine, on a bench, beanbag, or table).
No.2 Use A Cock Ring
Cock rings slow the drain of blood out of your erection, and keep you harder for longer. A very hard penis stimulates slightly differently — and much better — than one that is getting soft around the edges. Cock rings are inexpensive and usually nice to look at, and make an interesting male sex toy to add to your collection. Cock rings ensure that you can maintain the pace without faltering for better sex. This is very pleasing to your sexual friend.
No.1 Try A New Place
Sex in a new locale is definitely up there in exciting things to do for better sex. You can take a drive somewhere secluded where you can get a bit risqué. Try a public place (not too public), or simply move to a different room or area in your home — or even someone else's home. Whatever tickles your fancy. There are a million and one different places to have sex other than your home and in your bed — use them.

The weather was a concern mid week as a cold front was pushing its way through the Keys docking most small back country boats. I was able to get out a few times allowing for some productive days on the water. This week the fish were biting out west around Springer Bank. My clients were looking to bend the rod and that is just what we did, finding good sized Mackerel, Ladyfish, Bluefish, Mangrove Snappers, many species of sharks, Jacks, Blue Runners and over 100 pound Goliath Groupers!
The Goliath Groupers were the highlight this week as we were catching some mammoth ones. In Florida, the largest Goliath Grouper ever caught and recorded weighed 680 pounds. They are the largest members of the sea bass family and are thought to live approximately 50 years. Their habitat consists of shallow, inshore waters to depths of 150 feet. This fish is solitary by nature. The Goliath Grouper is habitat consists of underwater caves, wrecks, mangroves patches and ledges, displaying an open mouth to discourage intruders. Additional warning may be delivered in the form of the Goliath Grouper's ability to produce a distinctly audible rumbling sound generated by contracting muscles in their swim bladder. This sound travels great distances underwater and is also used to locate other Goliath Grouper
The Goliath Groupers are one of the most difficult to get to the boat because of their instinct to cut your line. As soon the grouper has been hooked their immediate reaction is to find a structure and wrap the line around it, ultimately cutting it. There is a definite technique in catching these monsters! For bait I use small Jacks and Blue Runners. I cut their tail off then hook them through the dorsal fin and place them in the water. The vibrations that occur as the Jack attempts to swim will attract the grouper as well as many species of sharks, providing for plenty of action beneath the surface. I have my clients use my medium to heavy rods with 30 pound braided line and a 80 pound leader attached to a 8.0 circle hook. I find that free spooling while placing the rod in the rod holder (affectionately called Rodney the Rod Holder) works best for most anglers. This cuts down on the normal reaction of a fisherman to attempt to "Set the Hook".
Setting the hook too early is a major concern when hooking grouper. Once the grouper hits the bait give 4 or 5 seconds then shut the bail letting the line become tight. After the line is tight, reel down while pointing the rod towards the water. Finally pull up at the same time you are winding the reel. Remember they will be headed for any structure to cut the line so keep your knees bent and the rod low. Try your very best not to allow the grouper to wrap the line around anything that maybe sharp enough to cut your line. This fight will be intense! I have seen so many anglers fight these monsters with the ending result being the disappointed stomp of their feet as they realize the worst has happened, the grouper got away! If you are one of the skilled anglers and lucky enough to land one of these monsters remember they are a protected species and you may not lift them from the water.
Until next time ask yourself this one question….Are you fishing yet? If not www.rufishingyet.com

Testimonies – HSW in Kenya
7 April 2009
From Pastor Enock Omoga:
- Josephine Ombeta, a 75 year old woman, had diabetes. When we were driving out the spirit of sickness on Friday evening, her body was shaking a little as she thanked Jesus. The next day she did not experience any of the usual bad effects associated to diabetics.
- A woman who had been losing blood for days after giving birth came to our Sunday worship service for healing. After two hours of laying on of hands and prayers for her, the blood stopped. She said that a woman cursed her with that problem so that she would not give birth to another child, thus leaving her with the shame of loosing her marriage, as it is normal in Africa for some women to be chased away if they do not bear children on the demand of their husbands. We prayed for her salvation. The amazing thing was that her husband who was an alcoholic gave his life to Jesus after witnessing his wife's healing from the issue of blood.

Radiation Spike Hits Phoenix, AZ; Slams Coos Bay, OR PSun Nov 29, 2015 08:27184.108.40.206Radiation Spike Hits Phoenix, AZ; Slams Coos Bay, OR

Radiation Spike Hits Phoenix, AZ; Slams Coos Bay, OR

RUSSIA RETALIATION BEGINS - FEROCIOUS BOMBINGS and CRUISE MISSILE ATTACKS ONGOING
An extreme spike in Beta and Gamma Radiation is affecting Phoenix, AZ today and slammed Coos Bay, OR two days ago; yet the media is silent.
According to the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center (NETC), a sudden and dramatic spike in Beta Radiation levels in Phoenix, Arizona is taking place today and folks are speculating it may be more fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant meltdown in Japan (2011), which wafts across the Pacific Ocean in plumes.
The "typical" amount of Beta radiation in Phoenix over the past six months has averaged seventy-four (74) counts-per-minute (CPM). Today, that level is six-hundred-thirty (630) CPM, which is 8.5 times the "typical" level! People in Phoenix cannot see it, cannot smell it, cannot taste it; but it is there, right now.
Prudence dictates that folks keep the windows to their homes closed, and refrain from going outside for several hours until the radiation plume passes. If folks do go outside, it would not be wrong to wear a filter mask of the type used in hospitals (N95) or, preferably, the type used in industry (n100) to make certain that "hot particles" of radiation are not inhaled.
Families with children should take appropriate measures to make certain the children are protected; remain inside until the plume passes, wear a mask if going outside.
For both children and adults when returning indoors from the outside, remove clothing directly into a washing machine, add detergent and start the washing machine, and take a warm shower with plenty of shampoo, soap and water to wash off any radiation that may have fallen onto hair or skin.
The levels of radiation taking place today are not necessarily dangerous and people should not panic. Scientists do say, however, that the effects of radiation are "cumulative" -- they add-up over the years. More importantly, it is possible that "hot particles" from the exploded reactors, may be in the air. These dust-sized particles are millions-of-times more radioactive and if they get into a person's lung, they begin to burn the lung tissue, and lead rather quickly to cancer.
In the past, such "hot particles" have been captured in filters all the way around the world in Norway, and have been positively traced back to the melted-down nuclear fuel from inside the three reactors which were destroyed in Fukushima, Japan after the March, 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Coos Bay, OR Got Slammed
Two days ago, another radiation detector, this one in Coos Bay, Oregon, detected a staggering increase in radiation, rising from a "typical" average of thirty-four (34) Counts-per-minute (CPM) to a staggering nineteen-thousand, seven-hundred, eighty-two (19,782) CPM. This terrifying jump in radiation has not been explained and did not last long at all; a few hours at most. If accurate, it was 581 times higher than "typical."
Folks are trying to determine if the reading was an anomaly or if it was real, and those inquiries are ongoing. If it was correct, then Coos Bay, OR got hit with potentially DEADLY levels of radiation yesterday. We caution, however, that people should not panic because radiation exposure does not automatically mean anything. When a person is exposed, the distance from the source, the type of radiation and the DURATION of exposure are all important factors in determining actual danger. So folks who remained indoors for most of the time, would not have anything to be concerned about.
Strangely, the media is silent about this because, we're told, the local and state "powers-that-be" do not want to frighten people over something the government has no control over and cannot protect them from.
"We can't have people selling their houses and moving away from the west coast because of Fukushima Radiation, it would destroy property values, wreck the state economy and ruin the tax base" said one official who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job.
It is the policy of SuperStation95 to report the news and let the public decide for themselves what to think or do about it.
The general public can view radiation levels for free, at the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center web site HERE
