The finale #viktorandrolf @victor_and_rolf #pfw #ss2014 #womenswear
Report by Anders Christian Madsen on 29 September 2013.
Everything in moderation. Since the dawn of time, the saying has kept man from committing crimes of abundance, and designers from taking their themes to extremes. Saturday's Viktor & Rolf show in the Jardin des Tuileries was a study in what happens when this age-old word of advice is broken.

Modern Calligraphy , by Molly Suber Thorpe, is full of instruction and inspiration about modern script calligraphy. There has been a resurgence in the craft of beautiful text – you will see many examples all over Pinterest and creative blogs.
If you would like to try your hand at making quotes for wall hangings, and downloads or printables, or hand-made invitations and thank you cards, this book will set you on the right path. Within it's pages you will find a fresh take on fonts with examples and instructions on how to create them, projects you can try, plus lots of inspiration.
Script is also a great addition to mixed media pieces. Below you will see a piece I'm working on where I added in a quote by Pablo Neruda. Another project I want to try from Molly's book is writing script with watercolours. Also, of note, she gives instructions on how to digitize your work so it can be printed for stamps, business cards, menus, etc.
Modern Calligraphy is due out on September 24th, 2013, but you can pre-order it in the link through Amazon.

Hang in there on health care
April 11, 2014
Rutland Herald
By: JERRY KILCOURSE, Montpelier
As we get closer to actually implementing Act 48, Vermont's universal "single payer" in 2017, the pressure to dilute the act through compromise has proportionally increased. The extremely well-financed opponents of single-payer universal health care for whatever reason, be it self-interest, ideological, or party affiliation, have only begun to assert their political muscle on this issue. This is similar to opposition to the Affordable Care Act at the national level.
For you in the Legislature who might be susceptible to the above pressures, let me remind you why you voted for Act 48 in the first place.
Five independent studies (Lewin, Thorpe, Hsiao, BISHCA and UMass) since 2001 have shown that single-payer will control costs more effectively than the status quo.
The UMass report in 2011 states we paid around $2.5 billion in premiums, co-pays and other out-of-pocket expenses. Even the Avalere study, which was against the single-payer plan, said the costs would be $2 billion. We obviously are paying more than $2.5 billion three years later.
Employment status will have no effect on the access or quality of health care. All Vermonters will be equally covered whether or not they are self-employed, work for an employer, lose their job, or leave a job for any reason. No more degrees of coverage based on an employer's plan or your personal wealth.
To those legislators who may be wavering on their commitment to Act 48, and to the Senate leader who thinks it may not be "politically viable," it's time to step up and have the courage of your convictions and back what your constituents voted for. We don't need a watered down Plan B or anything less than what Act 48 states.

Build your own dream mixer...
Hey everyone I need your help. I work for a kitchen appliance manufacturer and we're currently designing a new mixer for the residential/professional user market (similar to the DLX or Bosch Universal). In order to design 'the ultimate mixer' we want to ask you, the experienced/ professional users, what you want in a mixer. We want to meet as many of the consumer needs and wants as possible. I can't think of a better way to do that than to simlply ask what you want. And I can promise we'll listen. Hey if you tell us, we just might be able to design it into our new mixer, then when we're done you can have exactly what you want!
Thanks in advance for your input! Here are some topics to respond to:
-What is the most important thing you look for when selecting a mixer?
-Is there something you wish a mixer could do, but there doesn't seem to be any mixers on the market that can do it?
-What do you like/dislike about your mixer, or mixers you've used/seen?
-What is the most annoying thing about mixers/ your mixer?
Hopefully this will start a conversation and I can respond with more feedback and questions later. Thank you again!

It looks like Clinton did NOT . . . I repeat . . . did NOT win Texas. However, now she's threatening legal action? Really? I'm not sure why . . . the process is going how it has always gone in Texas as far as I can tell. Don't miss the comments – some of them are quite funny and others are spot on (at least from my Obama-lovin' perspective).
So now that she didn't win Texas isn't she supposed to drop out of the race?

Some people go on diets to lose weight, others for specific health conditions - but what if you just want to be healthy? U.S. News asked 22 experts in nutrition and dieting to rate popular diets for nutritional "completeness" and safety. Each diet was given a 1-to-5 score, with safety double-weighted - because while you can make up for some nutritional deficiencies, you can't make an unsafe diet safe.
Which diet proved healthiest? Keep clicking to see what U.S. News has to say...
Credit: istockphoto
Way too much fat and too few carbs, in the view of the experts, who questioned whether dieters can build a nutritious and safe diet with the severe restrictions imposed on veggies, whole grains, and fruits. Absent long-term safety data that might indicate otherwise, the panel put Atkins at the bottom of the pack. Click here for the full review.
Score: 2.0
Credit: iStock photo
Because the raw food diet could come up short in calories, calcium, and vitamins B-12 and D, just a handful of experts scored it higher than 2 for nutritional completeness. As for safety, the experts felt the risk of food poisoning from raw or undercooked ingredients was all too real. Click here for the full review.
Score: 2.1
Slapping the diet with many 1s and 2s, experts couldn't accept that entire food groups, like dairy and grains, are excluded, making it hard for dieters to get all the nutrients they need. It's one of the few diets that experts actually considered "somewhat unsafe" and, on nutrition, only "somewhat complete." Click here for the full review.
Score: 2.2
Veganism can conform with a healthful eating plan, but it takes work, and the risk of missing out on key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, zinc, and iron is real. That worried experts a bit, but they still gave the diet a respectable 3. Click here for the full review.
Score: 3.0

It doesn't perfectly align with the government's guidelines for healthy eating, experts concluded, because it provides a little too much protein and too few carbs. At 800 to 1,000 calories a day, it also dips low for many dieters. The experts found it "moderately" safe. Click here for the full review.
Although it outperformed traditional Atkins, experts felt that Eco-Atkins is too heavy on fat and light on carbs. Still, dieters needn't worry about malnourishment or overly rapid weight loss. It manages a middle-of-the-road 3. Click here for the full review.
Score: 3.1
Experts had enough reservations to send South Beach toward the lower end of this list, but most don't consider it extremely nutrient-deficient or unsafe. It's a little heavy on fat in phase 1, short on carbs during phases 1 and 2, and low in potassium throughout. Some experts were concerned it might be too high in protein for those with kidney problems, too. Click here for the full review.
Score: 3.3
Not the best but not awful healthiness-wise. Although the diet doesn't supply sufficient carbs, and possibly not enough fiber, potassium, calcium, and vitamin D, either, the experts concluded that Zone isn't overtly risky. Click here for the full review.
Score: 3.5
Getting just 1,200 calories a day on Slim-Fast didn't sit well with some experts. They thought the amount was on the low side, especially for dieters under 18, who are still growing. Still, the company's products are nutrient-fortified and dieters have one homemade meal each day, so the consensus was that Slim-Fast is mostly nutritious and safe. Click here for the full review.

This diet received fairly average ratings in safety and nutrition. Considering the nutrients it can provide, the GI approach is reasonably complete, the experts decided. You probably won
How much potassium and vitamins B-12 and D are supplied by the Nutrisystem Diet is unclear, but the U.S. News panel deemed the packaged meals, supplemented with snacks of fresh produce, nonfat dairy, and protein sources, generally nutritious and safe. Click here for the full review.
Score: 3.9
Going vegetarian doesn't automatically make for a healthy or safe menu. When the U.S. News expert panel analyzed a vegetarian menu adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, with meals like buckwheat pancakes, vegetable soup, and tofu stir fry, they found the approach nutritious and "very" to "extremely" safe. Click here for the full review.
Score: 4.0
Provided you limit what doctor Dean Ornish calls "group 5" foods that are loaded with saturated fat and instead stick with groups 1 through 3 at the other end of Ornish's spectrum - fish, plants, whole grains - your menu will stay in line with the government's recommendations and you won't risk your health. Click here for the full review.
Score: 4.1
Dieters on Jenny Craig get appropriate amounts of fat, protein, and carbs, with lots of fiber and calcium. The program is "scientifically sound and safe," said one of the experts. It garnered 3s, 4s, and 5s in both nutrition and safety categories. Click here for the full review.
Score: 4.3

All-you-can-eat fresh fruits and veggies? It's got to be healthy. Dieters are allotted daily points that are devoured if they choose fatty foods like sweets. Weight Watchers promotes a healthy, balanced approach to eating, concluded the experts. They didn't have many worries that dieters would miss out on nutrients or lose weight too quickly, and that makes it a safe plan. Click here for the full review.
Score: 4.4
A diet that's also based on low-energy-dense foods, Volumetrics menu items are large in volume but low in calories. That's thanks to a whole lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy, and lean meat. Volumetrics manages to meet or come close to recommendations for the majority of nutrients you need, making it a safe, healthy-eating approach. Click here for the full review.
Score: 4.5

You're in good hands with this diet developed by the high-profile medical center. The experts liked the plan's unique eating pyramid, which promotes foods with low energy density (you can eat more but take in fewer calories) like fruits and veggies. It took home all 4s and 5s, save for one 3, in both safety and nutrition categories. Click here for the full review.
A Mediterranean buffet will showcase foods like whole-grain pita and hummus, salads, fresh fruits and veggies, salmon, and beneficial fats like olive oil. Dieters can drink to each others' health - a glass or two a day of red wine is encouraged. The diet meets the government
Developed by the National Institutes of Health, the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet nearly matches the DASH Diet for healthiness, panelists agreed. Doling out all 5s and 4s, experts approved of the fiber and calcium it generously provides as well as the saturated fat it doesn't. Click here for the full review.

Panelists applauded the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) plan for its nutritional completeness and safety - it racked up lots of 5s and 4s in both categories.

I go to some places which advertise free WiFi then find that the signal is weak, the connection is painfully slow or that they require you to sign in (Sometimes with facebook so that you advertise to the world where you are). I make sure that I have none of these issues and those hosts who think WiFi is an important factor for guests should do the same. (1) Look at the packages offered by ISPs and choose one which will allow let's say 25% of guests to be streaming youtube videos (streaming videos is demanding on bandwidth) at the same time. Your ISP may be able to tell you which package is right for your situation. (2) Even in one house, you cannot depend on one router. I connected the modem/ router the ISP provided to others which I bought myself. I used ethernet cables to connect from the main modem / router to the extra ones spread throughout. (3) Check for ' dead areas' and reposition aerials by unscrewing them from the router and extending them to inconspicuous places (4) I provide an ethernet connection too by using range extenders which have an ethernet port. I do this because I prefer to use ethernet over Wifi when I am using a laptop as the connection is more stable. (5) If for some reason you end up with no internet, guests should be told when to expect it back.
These are all things I learned through observing the problems with internet in places where I stayed so I make sure not to have the same problems. I am aware that there are several other solutions but that is what I use.

First you have to actually get out of the house... I loved the way that the snow had filled in the spaces in my gate. When I was little I really wanted a gate, our house did not have one, then I moved to London and lived in flats so it was not until I turned 40 that I had my very own gate. And the reason why I wanted a gate was a children's TV show called Sarah and Hoppity and she swung on the gate... the first night I spent in my new house I crept out surreptitiously that evening and swung on my very own gate... it was worth the wait, I promise you!
If you walk round the corner, you see the view that makes me smile every day, across the graveyard, you can see the estuary and in the distance the coast of Kent.
As you can see it is not just children who get excited, I spotted these three twentysomethings headed down to the cliffs to try out their brand spanking new sledge... not for them the tin tea trays of my youth... bet they never had a go cart made from the wheels of a Silver Cross pram teamed with a real tea chest!
This is one of my favourite trees in Leigh, it is a Monkey Puzzle tree, it look beautiful in the Summer but oh my, doesn't it look makestic covered in the snow?
I wish that you could hear how quiet the snow made the world seem here on Sunday, even the church bells at St Clement's which were pealing seem really muffled.
And finally, here is the view down Church Hill, I love the way the snow has caught on the balconies, it looks fantastic a night when the Victorian lamps are lit. And best of all is the mix of Victorian houses, juxtaposed against the the Essex clapboard houses... when I grow up I think I would like to live down there:)

It is pretty bad isn't it? I think I only watched it for Bill Pullman, and he wasn't in the last two episodes. So bummed! Speaking of which, Jack's bare ass made its grand debut in the last episode. I think this is the most sexual explicit show to be ever made from a children's show.

Love and Theft, 'If You Ever Get Lonely' – Song Review
'If You Ever Get Lonely,' the new single from Love and Theft, makes vanilla taste like chili powder. The song was previously recorded by former Bad English singer John Waite, and Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson do little to put their individual marks on the story or production.
In fact, they sound bored singing it. "Thanks for calling / It's so good to hear your voice / But you keep breaking up / And all the static and the noise / But I keep listening / 'Cause I never had a choice, when it came to you," they begin.
On paper, that is a decent lyric, sort of a reminder of songs like 'Just to See You Smile' by Tim McGraw. One never feels similar heartache here. Every word stays above the surface, making the track susceptible to the worst of all emotions: ambivalence. Vocally, Love and Theft spend so much time at their high end, one loses appreciation for it.
"But if you ever get lonely and you miss me / If you need someone to listen / Even if it's only the sound of someone's voice who loves you that you need to hear / You know where to find me / If you ever get lonely," the two men add during each chorus. An overripe guitar solo further brings one back to the early '90s, a time not proudly remembered as bringing the best in pop ballads.
The 'Love and Theft' album made the ToC list of top albums of 2012 because the duo embraced their pop leanings and took chances by adding sharp R&B lines to songs like 'Amen' and 'Runnin' Out of Air.' The latter proved to be their lowest charting single yet. 'If You Ever Get Lonely' seems like a overreaction to that.
Listen to Love and Theft, 'If You Ever Get Lonely'

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Operation Protective Edge is exposing a new phenomenon that may prove to be a source of strength for the IDF and for Israel.
Col. Ofer Winter, commander of the Givati Infantry Brigade, recently wrote unprecedented words of encouragement to his soldiers: "History chose us to be the spearhead in the fight against the 'Gazan' terrorist enemy that defies, blasphemes, and curses the God of the armies of Israel."
They were words that clearly echoed David's own words to Goliath.
Winter added a brief prayer: "I lift up my eyes to heaven and call with you, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!'" The letter ended with a wish for the fulfillment of the verse "The Lord, your God, who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and gives you victory."
The content of Winter's letter to his soldiers, as well as the courage it took to take this position, is yet another clear indication that the familiar secular discourse regarding Israel's security is not enough to boost motivation to win the battle.
Some who are still captive to the idea that secular Zionism is the only adhesive that can unite all Israelis were horrified by Winter's bold pronouncement that framed the Israeli-Arab conflict in metaphysical terms.
As a secular movement, however, Zionism sees Israel as a refuge for the Jewish people that must be protected at all costs. This was a strange idea to begin with, because the Zionist movement itself would have never come into being without the most profound hopes rooted in the Bible.
Jews returned to the Land of Israel because they believed it was theirs; otherwise they would have never come. This means that secular as the Zionist movement is, it never lost sight of the fact that the Jews are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and thus entitled to the land God has given to their fathers.
For many decades, however, Israelis have been led to believe that the Israeli-Arab conflict is no more than a national struggle over territory, and that it will be better for all if God remains in the background. Israel's existence, the argument goes, is justified on the basis of distant history and modern values.
But over the past 10 years, a growing number of Israelis have begun coming to the conclusion that Israel and God are in fact inseparable, and that the existence of the former depends upon that of the latter.
Israel's existential crisis is naturally most potent amongst the soldiers preparing for battle. They are the ones who are forced to decide whether or not security and secular values of democracy, freedom of speech and human rights are enough to fill them with the courage and determination to risk their lives for the sake of Israel.
As the Second Lebanon War demonstrated, Israeli soldiers need deeper motivation than democracy and even national security to risk their lives in battle. If these are the only values Israel is fighting for, they reason, why not enjoy them in other countries without the need to go to war every couple of years?
This relatively new discovery can explain why so many soldiers were greatly comforted by the sight of Rabbi David Grossman distributing half-shekel coins and tiny books of Psalms to the soldiers entering Lebanon. It also explains why during Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009) Golani soldiers wore tzitziyot (tassels or fringes on their garments - Deut. 22:12), and why the Givati commander is now reassuring his soldiers by reminding them that the God of their fathers is their God, too.
No doubt, many Israelis are still baffled by this new invitation for God to take the front seat. Many of us still believe that fighting in the name of an old book is the spark that will set fire to the region. These fears are fed by a failure to see that the Israeli-Arab conflict is a reenactment of ancient wars.
Indeed, it is a wonder why we Israelis find it so difficult to understand that rockets are fired towards Ashkelon and Ashdod because the indigenous people of these cities want them back. Why it is so difficult for us to understand that the Philistines hated Joshua just as the Palestinians hated Ben Gurion?
Then and now, wars between the indigenous people of the land and the invading armies of Israel have nothing to do with Israel's right to exist as a Jewish democracy. The existence of the Jewish state in this land and its right to exist can only be justified by divine mandate.
Col. Ofer Winter and many others like him begin to realize that Israel's uniqueness is something worth fighting for.

You guys are overthinking it. A toy company complained about a tie being used to choke a guy. Danielson will be back guaranteed, anybody not a maaajor player in that situation would've been fired.
It's stupid what they did, but necessary. It's also not a bad business move because the company makes their toys. You know how much money kids bring in?

Globulos Mania Review
- Publisher: Bulkypix
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 15 Sep, 2011
- Size: 51.7 MB
- Price: FREE!
- To think of so many game types based around the same simple mechanic shows amazing creativity.
- Every game mode is playable in a multiplayer setting
- The game modes on offer for free aren't enticing enough to spend money on any others.
- The game has ads and still asks for money to play everything on offer.
While it's great to see such variety on a simple play mechanic, the pay to play model makes this game worrisome, especially when its overall art style seems to be directed towards kids.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
How far can you stretch a premise? Oh wait, we've already used that opening line here at AppSpy and it was for a game reviewed quite recently too. A shame cause Globulos Mania is all about the stretching. If turn based stretching is your thing, you'll find all you want and more right here. Let's explore further.
Globulos Mania is a series of mini games, all of which can either be played against the computer or online against other players. The rules of the game are varied, but the mechanics are the same. You can control the direction and force that the Globuls on your team will fling themselves in by stretching an arrow for each of them. The opponent does the same and when you both press the go button, the turn plays out before the whole thing is repeated over and over again till there's a winner. There are twenty games with multiple arenas available, but aside from the four made available for free, everything else in this game has a price point attached to it.
These free games are soccer, bomber, rally, and foursquare. Soccer is what you'd expect, trying your hardest to place your Globuls in the opponent's goal before they hit yours. Rally is racing around a track. Bomber has you avoiding explosions and the craters they leave behind, while foursquare has you trying to stop the ball from landing in your sections of the arena. While the free games show off some of the variety of ideas using this one simple mechanic, they're probably not going to entice many players to purchase any of the other sixteen modes (especially when the games are all broken up into separate packs maximizing the money you need to spend to get the most out of this title).
With cute character design and decent music, Globulos Mania is well made and will most likely appeal to kids, especially those who would enjoy playing these games against their friends. With almost the entire game hidden behind price walls however, the game is hard to recommend to all but those who really really enjoy what's on offer here.
DescriptionGlobulos Mania is OpenFeint's Free Game of the Day! Download the Game Channel app to get a FREE game every day!
Want countless hours of multiplayer fun ?
Choose your Globulos, plan your strategies and crush your opponent!
Globulos are funny and colorful little creatures that love to squabble and compete against each other in games combining elements of sports, arcade and strategy genres.
You can precisely control your Globulos with just your fingers: just slide to give the force and the direction.

IRVINE — For those who have lost a beloved pet, they know the race to beat the state's minimum four-day holding period and find their pet before it's given away — or worse — put down.
In these situations, the Irvine Animal Care Center can be a life-saver.
The city of Irvine has an extended minimum hold time — seven days — that gives anxious families a little extra precious time to reclaim their lost pets.
However, the Care Center never puts down an animal simply because too much time has passed.
"That's one of the things that we're so proud of here," Animal Care Administrator Ron Edwards said. "If the animal is adoptable, we're going to keep it here until it finds its forever home."
Their longest tenant, a stately Maine Coon cat mix with a crumpled left ear, has been at the center for almost two-and-half years.
"I believe that we will still find Dearie a home," Edwards said.
The Animal Care Center, which is supported largely by donations and tens of thousands of volunteer hours, is in the running for a $100,000 grant through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
The nationwide competition could award the grant to the shelter, which has the largest increase in adoptions from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31.
More than 700 agencies and shelters vied for a spot in the competition, but only 50 were give a spot, said Edwards.
To win the competition, Edwards estimated that the center would need to increase adoptions by 300. However, as of mid-October, the shelter has only increased adoptions by 79; the total adoptions for the three-month period are 612.
Although it's looking shaky for the center as the competition's end nears, Edwards said, "As far as I'm concerned, the additional adoptions already makes us winners."
"And as for those animals from our special programs," Edwards continued, "when you adopt an animal from a shelter you truly are saving a life."
Edwards refers to the center's "Third Chance for Pets" program, where animals facing a higher likelihood of being euthanized in other shelters are rescued.
Those animals and other animals taken in by the center go through an extensive adoption process.
Something like a match-making services for pets and their owners, program administrators evaluate both the animals and potential owners to help families find their perfect pet, Edwards said.
"It's really about trying to make the best match," Edwards said. "For example, if it's an active family that goes hiking and camping a lot, we want to make sure we find a dog that's going to be able to go with them."
The center has more than a 90% success rate in returning lost animals and securing successful adoptions, Edwards said.
If the center wins the grant money, Edwards said that they would be able to rescue more animals through the Third Chance program and find many more animals their "forever home."
"We're very proud of our shelter and the things that [animals] are offered here," Edwards said. "But as nice as it is, it's not the same as a real home."

I have seen exactly what you are pointing to here many times in the past few days...exactly that. Is is nothing more than an idea..In fact..even just a few hours ago, i knew the reality of it. Then, very quickly..the painbody returns..and the 'idea'of bondage suddenly seems more like a concrete reality. haha. All i know is when the 'painbody' takes over, bondage can seem quite real...EVEN WHEN I QUESTION IT. even when i read a post like this. I try to vow during these times, that should i ever completely reach 'the other shore' as it were, that i never fail to forget just how real this 'idea' can feel to people who still have it. Smiling through my pain.

What you call the "pain body" is just another pattern. Everything you know can be reduced to what it really is - just a patterning going on. Notice that we apply a lot of ideas to that raw patterning but all we can truly know with certainty is the raw patterning.
What is called "I" is just a combination or bundle of these patterns, a complex idea which has been solidified due to inattention. In reality the one who is there seeking, trying, remembering, forgetting, questioning - this one can never be found.
Whether or not the patterning is there, you remain as you are. You aren't changed when the pattern changes, comes and goes, or returns. You are what you are.
So stay with the inquiry into the idea of separated, finite existence as what you are. Whether that pattern called "pain body" comes or not is irrelevant. You are either separated or you are not. There is no becoming whole.

"Believe it or know it" ... believing isn't much use. I believe it, but this body-mind accumulation insists on running the show.

A few thorns -- Bondage is one of many conceptual threads in the endless tapestry of false beliefs "a person" holds about the separate me. The idea that one is in bondage is a fundamental misidentification about your true nature, about who you really are. Don't take my word for it. Look inward. See if you can find that bondage in anything but thought. Don't take anyone's word for it because that would be just another belief about bondage.
Love to you, Randall

Is that true? Does the body-mind run the show? Isn't the body-mind, that changing pattern we have learned to "call" body-mind, isn't that actually just raw experience, raw patterns? Can you truly find a "thing" which stands absolutely and independently upon which to place the label "body-mind"?
We have taken patterns and applied labels. We believe this beyond doubt, beyond question. Yet even if you sit in meditation for a few moments you can begin to notice that what you call "body-mind" is more like a set of passing patterns - unless you rely on your beliefs and past experiences you cannot really place any absolute reality on anything called a "body" and "mind" is non-existent other than what we call "thoughts".
Begin to see these things - notice that you don't really know anything with absolute certainty. The entire world you have inserted into little boxes of convenience. Drop all those and just see if you can notice that you really don't know anything. You don't really know anything at all. You don't know WHERE you are. You don't know WHAT anything is. You are knowing and what you know is 100% unknown to you. Without those labels, you are surrounded by the unknown.
Play with that a bit and you are welcome to email if you have any questions.

I question that idea and it is still there. I inquire into the beliefs and there are still there. It seems to me that it is not a thought only, but it is a feeling-idea. It feels that I am the body, so I behave and think as it was true. I question the feeling/idea which says that I am the body. I get it intuitevely that I cannot be that what I am aware of, i.e. bodily sensations. But, I still have that idea and it still feels that I am the body and that something is not right.
I know there is no how to it, so I keep questioning and exploring I guess?
- July 23, 2011 at 6:25 AM
- Randall Friend said...
Yes, and that is natural. However it is important to ask - how do you know that the present "feeling" is that of "being a body"? Unless you've experienced the alternative you cannot truly assert it - all you can truly assert is that it's what you've always believed or been told. Vedanta merely asks that you question these long-standing assertions. It doesn't offer any alternatives but only suggests that you are already the whole itself. If that is so then the present feeling is the feeling of the whole, yes?
That means we aren't looking for something to change, for the present feelings to change, for new experiences to arrive. We are only inquiring into the ideas we have about what we are, about what the world is.
Were you born? We can't come to a definitive answer, which doesn't prove anything but it sheds doubt on the existing idea you have, that you were born, that you are an independent and finite existence, that existence itself comes and goes.
Look at it from every angle - trace back the bundle of cells we call body to it's origins, to it's beginning. See if you can determine, not from beliefs but from what really makes sense to you, about how that body came to be, about how YOU came to be.
Because you know your own presence, and with a little poking around you understand that anything you can be aware of cannot be what you are. See if you came about brand new with that body. See if that knowledge is an absolute truth or if you can shed real doubt on the nature of your existence as temporary and separate.

Dukes of Hazzard Star At Automania In Brandon
CBS Television today is on top of the big broadcast networks heap. It was that way back in the early 1980's as Friday nights were the home of the heavy hitters.
Everyone wanted to know who shot J.R. Ewing on "Dallas" and how high the General Lee would fly on "The Dukes of Hazzard." One of those pieces of the past is in Brandon for Automania Friday. Byron Cherry who played the part of Coy Duke is one of the attractions at the event along with plentiful hot rods, motorcycles and music. Cherry will be signing autographs, especially on anything related to the show.
Byron Cherry Invites People To Bring Dukes Stuff For Him To Sign
Great food, entertainment, music and over 1200 show cars all to be had on Holly Boulevard. See that 1946 Ford that Cherry is sitting on? (That's the one in the photo.) Bet on it being there. Thanks to Bernie Tyrrell for bringing Byron back for this year's show.

As a recipient of this award I ask that you list ten things you have learned about any of your ancestors that has surprised, humbled, or enlightened you and pass it along to ten other bloggers who you feel are doing their ancestors proud.
So, this award comes with some responsibility attached to it. First I have to find the ten things that I have learned that surprised, humbled or enlightened me in some way. That will be easy because it happens every day and with almost every ancestor I have come across. Whittling it down to ten will be the challenge. I tried to choose a few examples that I hope to use in future blogs. I don't think I revealed too much about them, so please do keep logging in each week. So, those ten choices were more or less random and pretty easily made, considering the amount of material and numbers of ancestors I have to choose from.
But, then, I had to start really reading the other blogs. I thought that would be very tough, but as it turns out, although there were so many to choose from, it wasn't easy, but reading them and getting to know them was quite a lot of fun.
Part I Ten things that I have learned that surprised, humbled or enlightened me about my ancestors
- My most recent surprise was that I just this week learned that there are copious letters and sketches by my gggrandfather Samuel Budd, civil war veteran of the 1st NY Mounted Rifles, at the New York Historical Society's library! I am eager to get my hands on them all this summer!
- The first surprise I remember as a neophyte to the genealogy game was discovering that my gggggrandparents, Fisher and Loruhama Ames, are buried in my home town cemetery, just on the other side of the worn pathway that runs by my grandparents resting place. A place I visited often as a child and as an adult, and there they had been for one hundred and fifty years when I discovered them. I never even knew their names until I began this journey.
- I was humbled to learn the story of my gggrand uncle Salem Judson Tiffany, who died in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War and that there is a generous fellow out there in the genealogy community who has located his grave and invited us on a golf cart tour of the whole area.
- I was humbled and enlightened when I learned that my gggrandfather Daniel Waters, son of a lighthouse keeper from Scotland, immigrated here and then served in our Civil War.
- I was enlightened to learn that my great grandfather, James Paige, was a whizkid in his day who, even in his short life accomplished so much and was such a respected and successful young man with American Optical Company in Southbridge, MA.
- When I learned of the love story between young great grandfather James Paige and my great grandmother Ethel Tiffany, I was not only humbled but deeply touched. A love letter written by him to his young wife is a treasure I have. Although one of the first stories I wanted to tell you here, I want to be careful before I share it that I have written it in a way deserving of its uncommon tenderness and devotion.
- I was enlightened by my great grandmother Josephine Patten Willett who raised such remarkable daughters during a time when women were not valued as much as in the generations that followed. She raised strong, independent women in a turn of the century Manhatten, for the most part as a widow.
- I was humbled by the heroism of Ed's fifth great grandfather, Abner Crowell, who was captured and held prisoner aboard a British Prison ship in Newport Harbor during the American Revolution. Abner, a Cape Cod seaman whose ship was probably taken by the enemy and used as a floating dungeon, perished when the British deliberately sank these prison ships hoping to stop French ships from entering the harbor after the France-American alliance was struck in 1778. The unspeakable conditions I have read about will make this a difficult piece for me to write about, but one I hope to complete in the near future.
- On the other hand, I was surprised to learn that some of my Davis and Hall ancestors who were living in Vermont on the Quebec border during the revolution, may well have been loyalists or at the very least wafflers, who probably moved back and forth from Derby Line to Bolton,Quebec depending on where they could make a living to feed their families.
- And finally, I remain enlightened every day when I find a small remnant or a complete tapestry of the lives of all of our ancestors, left behind long after they have left us, in documents, personal recollections told to me by generations above me or by a photograph or a curl of hair of a child who died young. I can see my great grandmother sadly and lovingly, closing her eyes as she brings to her lips and places a kiss on the soft blonde curl. Holding it in her hand, she runs her thumb over it once more before wrapping it carefully in tissue paper, then slipping it into the now yellowing envelope, placing it inside the old scrapbook that I now have, filled with newspaper clippings kept by three generations of women; a volume full of life's celebrations and tragedies.

The magnitude of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel job is well indicated by the following figures relative to the work performed and the quantities of materials used in the construction of the mile-long tube:
Did you know that the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is the only existing sub aqueous international automobile border crossing?
That means it is the only underwater-tunnel for automobiles that cross International borders in the entire world!
The tunnel has been recognized as one of the great engineering wonders of the world.
As you travel almost a mile, 75 feet below the surface of the Detroit River, you're surrounded by 574 lights, 80,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 750 tons of reinforced steel.
The Tunnel has 4 acres of roadway area and one of the most elaborate ventilation systems ever devised.
Located between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, The Detroit Windsor Tunnel connects the U.S. Interstates to Ontario's Highway 401. It is a large complex consisting of toll and inspection plazas on each side of the Windsor-Detroit border where you pay for your crossing and undergo inspections by Immigration and Customs.
The Tunnel provides one of the fastest links between Canada and the United States.
The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is approximately one mile long from portal to portal. The American portal is located a few hundred feet from Downtown Detroit while the Canadian end is located in the heart of Windsor's business district.
The Tunnel is 5,160 feet long (1,573 meters) with a height clearance of 12 feet 8 inches (3.86 meters). The roadway is 22 feet wide (6.7 meters) and allows for two lanes of traffic in opposite directions. The maximum depth of the roadway beneath the river surface is 75 feet (22.8 meters).
The Tunnel first opened to traffic on November 3, 1930. Construction took 26 months and cost $23,000,000. Promotion of the Tunnel started over 120 years ago.
The Detroit-Windsor Tunnel was the first vehicular subway ever built between two nations. At the time of its construction, two other tunnels were in use in the United States — the Holland Tunnel in New York and the George A. Posey Tunnel connecting Oakland and Alameda, California.
As early as 1870, Detroit citizens were greatly debating the relative merits of a bridge and a tunnel between Detroit and Windsor. The railroads favored a bridge while shipping interests felt that a bridge structure would be hazardous to navigation, due to the exceedingly high masts of the sailing ships that forged the Detroit River at that time.
Attention then turned to a tunnel project as a means of providing swift transportation across the river. In 1871, ground was broken near the foot of St. Antoine Street for a tunnel under the Detroit River. It was to have a 15-foot bore, surrounded by masonry.
However, a pocket of sumptuous gas ended the project when workers were 135 feet out under the river. The gas made the workers so sick that none of them could be induced to resume work on the following day. The project was abandoned.
Detroit's second tunnel venture took place in 1878, when a tube was proposed to connect Grosse Ile, Michigan with the Canadian mainland. No gas was encountered, yet this undertaking had to be abandoned because certain limestone formations made the cost of excavation prohibitive. In 1874, the Detroit Board of Trade made a determined effort to promote a bridge, despite the opposition of shipping interests. Nothing came of this project.
When the Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel under the St. Clair River at Port Huron opened in 1891, this caused another flurry of activity about additional tunnel construction. This railway tunnel was 6,000 feet in length and at the time was the longest, sub aqueous tunnel in the world. Detroit business interests, afraid of a diversion of shipping to Port Huron, made a desperate effort to generate public support for a tunnel in Detroit.
In 1906, construction began on the Michigan Central Railway Tunnel in Detroit and was completed four years later. It had a total length of two and one-half miles and cost $8,500,000. However, the opening of this tunnel did not lessen the agitation for vehicular transportation facilities across the Detroit River, especially after the phenomenal growth of the automobile industry. Bridge and tunnel advocates remained active in support of their respective undertakings, culminating several years later in an announcement that Detroit would have both projects.
In June 1919, Windsor's Mayor Edward Blake Winter requested Ottawa to construct a tunnel as a memorial to soldiers who died in World War I. Winter's argument was that a tunnel between England and France had been proposed as a war memorial, and if England and France could be united by a tunnel, so should Canada and the United States.
Despite the opinion of scientific experts that anyone using the tunnel would die of carbon monoxide poisoning, a Windsor Salvation Army Captain, Fred W. Martin, pursued the dream of a Detroit-Windsor tunnel. It was not until 1926, when a prestigious, New York architecture firm predicted that a tunnel would not only be feasible but profitable, that Martin found enough backing to get the project underway. A group of Detroit bankers agreed to back the project provided that the New York architects would design the tunnel and guarantee its construction costs.
Construction operations began in the summer of 1928 at approximately the same time on both sides of the river. The completion of the tunnel was an engineering feat unparalleled at the time, which combined three different tunneling methods.
On each side of the river, a cut and cover method was used on the sections from where the open cut trenches end to the harbor line. Earth was dug away by muckers or sandhogs that used manually operated knives to cut a path for the giant, shield wall.
As the shield moved forward, foot by foot, electrically welded steel plates were put in place behind it to form the tunnel tube. Construction of the river section of the tunnel was the most spectacular of the operations, as it involved sinking nine steel tubes into a trench dug across the bottom of the river.
The steel shells were built on dry land, welded watertight, sealed and floated into the river. Once they were tugged and anchored into position over the trench, the final interior and exterior concrete was poured, and the tubes were sunk and joined together by divers using a collar of tremie cement. Once the tube was in place, the trench was backfilled with 20 feet of material to hold it in place.
Meanwhile, the crews drove the shield section toward the tube, traveling underground 466 feet on the US side and 986 feet on the Canadian side, changing courses both vertically and horizontally. When contact with the submerged tube was made, there was less than one-inch error in alignment.
The Tunnel has one of the most elaborate ventilation systems ever devised.
Ventilation towers are located at each end of the tunnel. Each tower is approximately 100 feet high, on a site 50 × 90 feet. Each tower, with its equipment, provides ventilation for half of the tunnel.
The equipment consists of motor-driven, fresh-air fans and exhaust fans arranged in successive tiers in different stories, with direct connections to the fresh-air ducts in the tunnel. Each fan is 12 feet in diameter and each building houses 12 fans; six blower fans to draw in fresh air and six fans to expel used air and automobile emissions.
The total amount of fresh air that can be supplied to the ducts of the tunnel is approximately 1,500,000 cubic feet a minute. Fresh air comes into the tunnel under the roadway through apertures near the curb. Used or vitiated air is thrown off through two rows of openings located at frequent intervals in the ceiling.
While the fresh air is drawn into the ventilation buildings, the vitiated air is expelled through exhausts located at the top of each building.
The safety factor of the tunnel is so great that there is no possibility of the air becoming gaseous even if most of the fans were to stop functioning.
The ventilating system is patterned after that in the Holland Tunnel in New York.
Cross the Windsor-Detroit Border through The Detroit Windsor Tunnel, and you can be a part of history!

I had a male reader (Justin Brady (@RandomAngst), who runs the Random Angst book review/rating site at www.randomangst.com) on Twitter just today who said he'd just finished reading OUTLANDER and enjoyed it a lot "until the prison chapters." I tweeted back that I'd be kind of worried about him if he'd _enjoyed_ the Wentworth part {g}, to which he said, "but why put our hero through such pain and suffering? :)", adding in the next, "I know I'm late to the #Outlander party & you've probably already addressed this; but that was intense emotional, physical pain."
I was on my way out to dinner, so said I'd reply to him later (haven't done that yet), but have been thinking at brief moments just _how_ to reply to that. The simple answer is just that that's what I saw happening, but that's not enough for the reader. There always _is_ a reason why things happen or are necessary, whether I know what that is when I write it or not. So what is it here?
In part, it's because it's a High Stakes story. Almost everybody understands that you have to have _something_ at stake for a story to be good. And way too many thrillers and sf/f novels assume that nothing less than the Fate of the Known Universe will do {g}, these authors mistaking scale for intensity. No matter what the background may be, a story that focuses on the impact of events on one or two individual _lives_ will be--generally speaking--much more engaging and emotionally intense than one where everyone is just rushing around trying to save a planet or get their hands on the fortunium bomb that could Destroy Everything!!
So OUTLANDER is a high stakes story--on an individual level--throughout. It's a love story, sure, and it's all about what people will _do_ for the sake of love. Claire, for instance, chooses to abandon the life she knew (and was about to reclaim post-War), the safety of the 20th century (and she of all people would value that safety, having come through such a war), and the husband she'd loved. She chooses hardship, danger, and emotional pain, in order to be with Jamie.
But love for these two is always reciprocal. It's not about one partner making a sacrifice for the other's sake. Throughout the story, they keep rescuing each other. And the stakes are high. Jamie marries Claire originally in order to save her from Black Jack Randall. Would that be a striking thing to do, if Jack Randall was not, in fact, a serious threat? He _is_ a serious threat; we learn that from Jamie's backstory. The man's a genuine sadistic psychopath, who has essentially destroyed Jamie's family and seriously injured him, both physically and emotionally. And here's Jamie swearing to give Claire everything he has; the protection of his name and his clan--and the protection of his body--in order to save _her_ from this man.
He then does save her, physically and immediately, from Randall, when Randall captures her and assaults her at Fort William--even though by doing so, he puts not only himself, but everyone with him, in serious danger, _and_ does so at some emotional as well as physical cost. "I was tied to that post, tied like an animal, and whipped 'til my blood ran...Had I not been lucky as the devil this afternoon, that's the least that would have happened to me. ....[But] when ye screamed, I went to you, wi' nothing but an empty gun and my two hands." The stakes are higher; the threat to Jamie (and Claire) from Captain Randall is increased.
One, two, three. The Rule of Three. It's one of the important underlying patterns of story-telling; one event can be striking. The next (related) event creates resonance. But the third brings it home—WHAM. (That is, btw, why classic fairy tales always involve three brothers, three sisters, three fairies, etc.—and why the most classic form of joke always starts, "A priest, a minister and a rabbi…" The climax of the story, the punchline of the joke, always comes on the third iteration.) The third encounter with Black Jack Randall is the climax, the point where the stakes are highest. Jamie's been captured and seriously hurt, Claire's come to save him, but Randall turns up and takes her captive, threatening her life.
OK. This -has- to be a credible threat. Ergo, we have to have seen (and heard about) the real damage Randall has done to Jamie thus far; we have to be in no doubt whatever that he'd do real damage to Claire. We can't just _say_, "Oh, he's _such_ a nasty person, you wouldn't believe..." We _have_ to believe, and therefore appreciate _just_ what Jamie is doing when he trades what's left of his life for Claire's. (Show, don't tell, you know?)
And because we do believe that, we share both Jamie's despair and Claire's desperation.
So, OK. Throughout the book, we've seen that love has a real cost. Jamie and Claire have built a relationship through honest struggle, a relationship that's _worth_ what it's cost them. This is the final challenge, and Jamie's willing to pay what will apparently be the ultimate cost.
Why would I throw that away? To have him escape rape and torture (he--and we--_know_ what's coming) by the skin of his teeth would be to undercut his sacrifice, to make it of little moment. (It would be like someone turning up in Gethsemane and telling Christ, "Hey, buddy, you don't _really_ have to do this. Come with me, I got a secret way outta here...")
So love _has_ a cost, and it's a real one. But they do rescue each other, and Claire saves not only his life, _but his soul_. (Yes, it is redemption and resurrection, and yes, there's Christ imagery all through the story--it was my first book, OK?) His soul wouldn't have been in danger, had he not been really and truly nearly destroyed by his sacrifice.
I.e., had Claire shown up with reinforcements in the nick of time and saved him before he'd been put through such pain and suffering....well, then it would have been a nice, heart-warming story in which Hero and Heroine conquer evil and ride off into the sunset together. But it wouldn't have half the power of a story in which Jamie and Claire _truly_ conquer _real_ evil, and thus show what real love is. Real love has real costs--and they're worth it.
I've always said all my books have a shape, and OUTLANDER's internal geometry consists of three slightly overlapping triangles. The apex of each triangle is one of the three emotional climaxes of the book: 1) when Claire makes her wrenching choice at the stones, 2) when she saves Jamie from Wentworth, and 3) when she saves his soul at the Abbey. It would still be a _good_ story, if I'd had only 1 and 2--but (see above), the Rule of Three. A story that goes one, two, _three_ has a lot more impact than just a one-two punch.

Hey girl, it turns out that Ryan Gosling really may be able to do it all.
The Oscar-nominated actor who has broken up street fights and saved pedestrians from oncoming traffic is now set to direct his first feature film, "How to Catch a Monster."
The movie, which will star "Mad Men" actress Christina Hendricks, was also written by Gosling and is set to start filming next spring. The film, set in what a news release described as a "surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city," follows a single mother whose teenage son uncovers a frightening and mysterious underwater town.
Gosling has long showed an interest in the macabre. His band with Zach Shields, Dead Man's Bones, often performs songs about ghosts and monsters, and once filmed a music video in a cemetery.
"How to Catch a Monster" will be produced by Marc Platt Productions, which worked on Gosling's 2011 crime thriller "Drive." In a statement, Platt called the actor's latest project a "beautifully haunting script," adding that Gosling's "ability to draw audiences into his world as an actor will serve him well as a filmmaker."
International distribution rights for the film will go on sale at the Toronto International Film Festival, which kicks off next week. The fledgling filmmaker will be in his native Canada promoting "The Place Beyond the Pines," which co-stars Bradley Cooper and Gosling's rumored ladyfriend Eva Mendes.
Last week, Gosling, 31, was in Los Angeles filming reshoots of "Gangster Squad" in Chinatown. The noir film about a secret 1940s anti-mob gangster squad saw its release date pushed from Sept. 7 to January after the Aurora, Colo., movie theater massacre. Warner Bros. decided it would take the time to reshoot a scene from the film in which mobsters fire guns through a movie screen at the audience.

LA Game Space is an ambitious idea to seize an old warehouse in the Arts District of Los Angeles, California and turn it into what sounds like a home for game design and independent titles.
Its creators aren't looking to turn it into a store, or an arcade, but something a little more serious and, dare I say it, important. Currently up on Kickstarter with a $250,000 goal, if met the team will be opening a place that houses things like workshops, exhibitions, research labs, series for public speakers and even residencies for indie game makers.
In other words, a headquarters (or at least focal point) of sorts for independent video game culture.
Some of the people involved include Daniel Rehn and Attract Mode's Adam Robezzoli, while LA Game Space's "advisory board" counts people like Giant Robot's Eric Nakamuram, Venus Patrol's Brandon Boyer and TIGSource's Derek Yu as members.
There's plenty more info below, including some damn cool pledge prizes (like custom pixel portraits from big-time pixel artists).

Aaron Stump Receives Materials Scholarship, Oct. 29, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 29, 1999 -- Aaron D. Stump, a graduate of Portales High School who is now a senior majoring in materials engineering at New Mexico Tech, recently was awarded the ASM International Albuquerque Chapter Scholarship.
Stump was born in Tucumcari and moved to Portales when he was 11. He is the son of Jerry and Meg Stump, former Tucumcari and Portales residents who now hail from Buffalo Lake, Minn.
The scholarship award, which includes $500 and a one-year student membership in ASM International ("The Materials Information Society"), was presented to Stump by ASM International Albuquerque Chapter chairman Douglas J. Taylor, who is a New Mexico Tech alumnus.
In addition to his classwork at New Mexico Tech, Stump currently is working on his senior design project--a collaborative research project which involves engineers at Motorola in Albuquerque.
Stump, a member of the New Mexico Tech chapter of ASM International, has been attending the state-supported research university under a Counselor's Choice Scholarship.
When he is not pursuing his studies and research projects, the Portales High graduate trains and boxes as a member of the Socorro Boxing Club.
In addition, Stump says he enjoys writing in his leisure time, particularly short works of poetry and fiction.
"I believe the New Mexico Tech materials engineering department is probably one of the best available in the nation for an undergraduate education," Stump says.

Cory Monteith's Pals Open Up About His Final Days
The sudden death of 'Glee' actor Cory Monteith took the world by surprise and led many to believe that the star was leading a double life: One of sobriety when he worked and stayed stateside with girlfriend Lea Michele, and one of hard drugs and partying when he went to his hometown of Vancouver.
However, Monteith's friends from the Canadian city are crying foul on those rumors, saying he was surrounded only by sober friends the night of his death.
"They weren't strangers, they weren't bad guys," Monteith's acting coach, Andrew McIllroy, told PEOPLE (via Hello!). "They were long-time sober friends. Cory knew them maybe ten years."
"Essentially, he had spent time with [them] as sober people. They were not using with him [that night]," he insisted. "There was no double life up here."
Monteith had battled addiction multiple times throughout his life, most recently checking into rehab in the spring. Unfortunately, he lost the war with his demons, succumbing to a lethal cocktail of alcohol and heroin in July.

SOCORRO, N.M., April 23, 2002 -- Summer Kamal Rhodes, a soon-to-graduate senior who is majoring in materials engineering at New Mexico Tech, recently was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship.
The prestigious NSF fellowship award carries a stipend for each fellow of $21,500 for a 12-month tenure, as well as an annual cost-of-education allowance of $10,500, which is paid to the fellow's chosen graduate school in lieu of tuition and fees.
Before starting her undergraduate studies at New Mexico Tech, Rhodes was the valedictorian for the Class of 1998 at Roswell High School. She is the daughter of Beth and Steven Rhodes of Roswell.
In addition to her regular classwork at New Mexico Tech, Rhodes currently is conducting research on brazing alloys and ion conductivity of materials in collaboration with scientists at Sandia National Laboratories.
After she graduates from New Mexico Tech in May, Rhodes says she plans on working toward obtaining her graduate degree in materials science and engineering, and will eventually pursue a doctorate, most likely in the same field.
"The University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are probably my top two choices where I'd like to go to graduate school," Rhodes says, "but there are two other places I'm still considering."
Rhodes currently is a member of New Mexico Tech's student chapters of the Society of Women Engineers, Materials Society, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Tau Beta Pi national engineering honor society, an organization in which she serves as president.
"I'm really glad I chose to come to New Mexico Tech," Rhodes says. "I ended up getting a very good undergraduate education that has definitely prepared me for grad school."
In addition to Rhodes having been named an NSF Fellow, four other recent graduates of New Mexico Tech were awarded honorable mentions this year by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship program, including Sarah Elizabeth Baran, James Lewis Fox, Joshua Edward Narlesky, and Dru Eugene Wilbur.

MLK- Day of Service – Celebrating Service and Volunteerism
A Kick-Off Event
Our gratitude is extended to the Volunteers of Campus Kitchens for an informative evening and a delicious dinner. There were many who attended this event on Thursday, January 28th at Eben Holden. Kitchen tours were held and posters and displays revealed stark facts regarding local and worldwide hunger. Dinner included lasagna, garlic bread, spaghetti, meatballs, salad, dessert and a beverage. We appreciate the number of volunteers who signed up to help with Campus Kitchens. We also thank those who donated kitchen items to get this project started.
St. Lawrence University has received a grant to become a member of the Campus Kitchens Network. The main goal of the Campus Kitchens Project is to use leftover food to create nutritious meals for those in the community that may need it. So far we have a partnership with both SLU and SUNY Canton dining services to use reclaimed food from the dining Halls. We will be using Eben Holden to prepare the meals, and the Newman Center on Court Street to serve them.

"I've pointed out that any concerned parents searching Google for information on the cervical cancer jab (in the tragic wake of a schoolgirl's death) see a mass of negative and inaccurate information linking the girl's death to the vaccine.
It turns out she died of an unrelated tumour [read what really happened here- ed]. But Google's results will give parents second thoughts about letting their daughters be vaccinated, even though the injection will save 00s of lives a year".

Black and white line illustrations, no written instructions, umlauts scattered like rose petals, that smiley cartoon guy—this certainly looks familiar. Illustrator Ed Harrington has subverted the ubiquitous directions sheet for his "Ikea Instruction" series. In Harrington's world, it's not streamlined Swedish furniture that's being assembled, but monsters, killers, and Edward Scissorhands.
The clever illustrations make use of all of Ikea's standard elements: the illustrated pieces, the bold sans-serif font, the crossed-out warning images. The Vörhees requires a simple assembly of one very large knife, one hockey mask, and one Allen wrench, whereas the Edvard needs 14 units of two different types of scissors, a heart, and hand removal. So far the DIY instruction sheets include Brundlefly from The Fly, a Human Centipede, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Edward Scissorhands and Pinhead, the Cenobite leader from Hellraiser.
Merging two incredibly popular, and incredibly different, pop culture genres makes this series work. Who could be next in the flat pack? Perhaps a small striped shirt, overalls, and an axe. Who wants to build Chücky?

CUNY Alert: A Fast Way to Spread the Word in Urgent Situationa
In an emergency, prompt and effective communications can be a lifesaver.
That's why the University created CUNY Alert, perhaps the country's most comprehensive collegiate emergency notification system—and why more than 35,000 members of the University community signed up within three weeks of its March debut.
CUNY Alert is a customized, campus-centered messaging system built upon a single University-wide platform. Each college decides when to message its campus community with real-time information about campus-specific events, such as weather-related closings, and public safety notifications and emergencies. Some events may occasionally warrant a University-wide notification.
Signing up is easy: visit www.cuny/alert for a step-by-step registration process. Registration is open to everyone—degree students, continuing education students, faculty, staff, parents, family and friends. Even residents who live near the campuses and are interested in staying informed can sign up. Faculty, staff and students who have multi-campus interests can request alerts from multiple campuses.
The University's Information Technology Steering Committee, which has representatives from all the campuses and is chaired by Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer Allan Dobrin, began discussing the need for an emergency notification system more than a year ago.
They reviewed a number of emergency software technologies and chose one offered by the New York State Emergency Management Office, or SEMO, which operates an all-hazards alert and notification system known as NY-Alert.
"After an exhaustive review, we selected a robust software that offers great functionality with the added security of working hand-in-glove with the State Office of Emergency Management," said Dobrin, who noted that the system was acquired at no cost to the University. "It's a win-win," he said.
Once the SEMO system was selected, the University Office of Computer and Information Systems began a rigorous process of developing, testing and training to create CUNY Alert, said Brian Cohen, the University's Chief Information Officer. A similar SEMO system has also been created for the State University of New York.
CUNY Alert can transmit messages via cell phone, e-mail and traditional landline telephone. Cell phones can receive text message and voice messages. Depending on which options they chose, participants can receive multiple contacts for the same message.
Nearly 40,000 people signed up for CUNY Alert within the first three weeks of its mid-March launch. John Jay College, which designed an intensive marketing campaign tied to the rollout, signed up nearly 30 percent of its student headcount in the first weeks of the campaign, the best results of any college.
