Nimbus 1 was an American Nimbus Program weather satellite that was in service with NASA in the mid-20th century. This satellite was equipped with high-resolution cameras which were used to photograph the surface of the Earth. An image of the Nimbus 1 satellite in Earth's polar orbit was stored in the library computer of the USS Enterprise. This image was later retrieved by the Talosians during their survey of the library computer's contents in 2254.
The Nimbus 1 was equipped with several pieces of advanced technology for the period, including: horizon scanners, control section, yaw control nozzles, gas tank and cover, solar platforms, infrared scanner, cameras, and thermal control van. (TOS: "The Cage")
Nimbus 1 was the prototype for a second-generation weather satellite. This satellite was launched into space on August 27, 1964.

I don't know where to put this..
FAYETTE, NEW YORK—Since 2003, the Seneca County SPCA has rescued and sheltered hundreds of dogs, providing them safe homes, and even assisting county officials and local law enforcement investigating animal cruelty cases.
Now, however, the organization's mission-and the dogs it shelters-may be at risk from town and county zoning officials.
SPCA President Jenny McWhorter has been operating a non-profit dog rescue organization on property she shares with her partner Stephen Webb for nearly six years. Until recently, local zoning officials told her the operation was in compliance with local zoning laws.
But on March 12, they were served with a violation notice by the Seneca County Building Department. That notice alleged that the SPCA was in violation of the Town of Fayette Zoning Code. The building department claims that the not-for-profit shelter is a "commercial kennel" under the new zoning code.
That zoning code was passed last fall. Because McWhorter had operated the shelter for years before that, she believes that the SPCA is grandfathered in (and, therefore, legal) under New York State law.
And, until recently, she thought that local officials agreed.
But in November, 2008, the Chair of the Fayette Planning Board, Ros Parks, told McWhorter that the shelter was in violation of both the new and old zoning law. He also told her that his board would most likely deny the SPCA a permit or variance if they requested one.
That surprised McWhorter. Parks had told her in 2003 that she didn't need any town permits for the shelter.
"Ros stated to me that we did not need a kennel permit. All that was available was a purebred kennel permit and we both agreed we did not fit those criteria as many of our rescue dogs were mixed breeds," McWhorter said. "Ros told me that as long as there were no complaints we were fine doing what we were doing here."
In 2005, the group was told that the town wanted dogs kept at the shelter for more than thirty days to be licensed. McWhorter said she complied.
Other than that request, she heard nothing from the planning board until 2008, shortly after the group was formally designated by New York State as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (SPCA) for Seneca County.
"We have not had any complaints from our neighbors or incidents with our dogs since 2003 to the present time," McWhorter said. "We take extreme measures to assure we do not bother anyone and keep the dogs waste picked up and disposed of properly daily, every day."
McWhorter said that the SPCA has contacted former Seneca County Attorney Steven Getman, who has agreed to assist the shelter on a pro bono basis. Getman hopes to show local officials that the SPCA is operating legally.
If zoning officials force the SPCA to move, McWhorter said they will do what they can to comply with the law. However, relocating so would mean a big financial hit for the shelter and compromise its mission.
"It will be costly for us to try at this time to open a separate shelter for the animals off of our property," McWhorter said. "We operate the non-profit corporation solely on donations and receive no public money."
"By operating here we can keep our overhead low and continue to provide animal protective services until we become more established and self-supporting."
"Making the shelter move now could endanger both the SPCA's goals and the animals it serves."

Global Investor Study
Over confident investors and the help they want: an overview of engagement
Misplaced belief in the understanding of investments could hurt investors planning their financial future. However, a strong desire to learn and seek advice from financial professionals presents a perfect opportunity for the investment industry to engage with consumers.
Schroders Global Investor Study 2016 illustrates that investors around the globe have a firm belief in their own investing capabilities.
The study also paints a picture of robust demand for financial advice around the world, where investors still want their investment decisions ratified by professional advisers.
Overestimating investment understanding
Consumers continue to display a degree of self belief in their own investment capabilities.
This has long been a well-understood behavioural trait in investing and in other areas of life where, for example, separate studies have linked the overconfidence of road users with increased traffic accidents.
Our research shows the extent to which investors overestimate their abilities, and we highlight the significant ramifications this may have for wealth in retirement.
Consumers are increasingly entrusted with their own retirement provision and, our study suggests, there remains a significant gap between what they think they know and what they actually know.
Schroders Global Investor Study 2016 found:
- Only 13% of investors globally would admit to having a less than average understanding of investments.
- Over half (51%) of the investors polled globally by Schroders described themselves as having more understanding than the average investor – suggesting over confidence.
- 18% of women admit to having a less than average understanding of investments, compared with 11% of men.
- Yet 63% of investors globally did not correctly identify what an investment management company does.
These findings, on their own, are a concern but the study also found that investors had unrealistic income expectations, which can lead to significant financial shortfalls in later life.
A cry for help
Belying that confidence in their investment abilities is the need for investors to ratify their investment decisions before making an investment with a financial professional.
Despite improving technology and the rise of "robo-advisers" - digital tools that ask individual risk and goals questions before investments are made online - it appears that investors still want the human touch.
- Half (50%) of global investors say they plan to consult a financial adviser the next time they make an investment decision.
- Millennials (51%) are more likely to consult a financial adviser than those aged 36 and over (49%).
- Women (54%) are more likely to consult a financial adviser ahead of making an investment than men (47%)
It means that there is still an opportunity for the investment management industry to engage with a generation that is reportedly disillusioned with big business.
Willing to learn
Reassuringly, investors displayed a healthy desire to improve their understanding of investments. Schroders Global Investor Study 2016 found:
- 89% of investors globally said that they wanted to learn more about investments
- 94% of millennials said that they wanted to improve their understanding of investments in any way
- 91% of women wanted to improve their investment understanding in any way, compared with 88% of men
Investors would most likely prefer to speak to a financial adviser more to improve their understanding of investments. That said, the DIY approach is also gaining in popularity.
- 43% of investors say they would like to speak to a financial adviser to improve their understanding of investments
- 42% of investors would spend more time doing their own research via independent financial websites
- 36% would take part in online guides and tutorials
Any increase in DIY investing is of course to be welcomed – provided consumers are building their knowledge and engaging with their finances.
Our study suggests, however, that some aspects of consumer knowledge remain relatively poor.
It is, for example, difficult to feel confident that people know and understand their investments if relatively few can identify of the role of an investment manager versus an adviser, insurance company or investment bank.
There remain a number of generations, considerably closer to retirement, with a relatively poor grasp of investment and what it can and cannot do for them.
For a lot of people, being left to manage their retirement provision by themselves could well see them living unhappily ever after.
You can test your understanding of investments with our income IQ tool, which will reveal your behavioural biases and provide useful tips to empower you to make better investment decisions.

Scandal economics: Shochiku rides out Ebizo brawl all the way to the bank
Never underestimate the public relations value of a good show-biz scandal. That bloody nose that 32-year-old kabuki superstar Ichikawa Ebizo suffered last month at the hands of a "motorcycle gang" member who didn't like the way the drunken celebrity was treating his senpai (senior) may have embarrassed the hell out of Ebizo and forced his employer, Shochiku Entertainment, to facilitate all sorts of face-saving measures, including suspending the activities of one of their biggest cash cows, but the whole business has a silver lining.
The sold-out Hatsuharu Hanagata (New Years All-Star) kabuki performance that Ebizo was scheduled to headline at the Ginza Theatre in January had to be canceled and all the tickets refunded. Media were predicting a loss of millions of yen for Shochiku, but that apparently won't be the case. The rien's (kabuki world's) most illustrious onnagata (specialist in female roles), Bando Tamasaburo, has valiantly agreed to step into the breach. At the televised press conference where he made the announcement, Tamasaburo said with proper humility that he was "the only one who happened to be free that month" for a substitute engagement at the same theater, which runs Jan. 2-20. Usually, he doesn't perform in any of the New Years programs, but, as it turns out, he hasn't done any kabuki since the sayonara performances at the old Kabuki-za last spring, so it may be about time for him to hit the boards again.
According to Sports Nippon, all 13,200 tickets for Tamasaburo's entire 18-show engagement sold out in 30 minutes when they went on sale Dec. 16, which is even faster than Ebizo's. More importantly, the top ticket price of ¥18,000 is higher than that for Ebizo's canceled shows, which was ¥15,000. Shochiku told the media on the 17th that they "are not sure if we will lose money" on the cancellation, but it doesn't seem likely. For one thing the company didn't have to spend anything on advertising for the Tamasaburo shows. The press conference was covered by all the television stations (Tamasaburo rarely appears on TV), thus spreading the word beyond the usual kabuki fan base instantly. Ginza Theatre doesn't even have to publicize the performances or the fact that another superstar, Nakamura Shido, is taking part.
One thing's for certain: When Ebizo returns to the stage in May after his suspension the tickets will sell like hot cakes and will probably be more expensive than they've been for his performances in the past. In the theater world, at least, bad boys have added value.

Nestle's Toffee Deluxe chocolate is returning to Quality Street tubs in time for Christmas after its removal last year caused uproar among confectionery fans.
The confectionery giant replaced Toffee Deluxe with the Honeycomb Crunch for Quality Street's 80th birthday last year but has announced both will be included this year, increasing the assortment from 12 to 13 chocolates.
The decision to remove the sweet - a toffee wrapped in milk chocolate - caused dismay among customers, who were told by Nestle that it was a case of "too many toffees".
Sadie Marie, one of many to disapprove, wrote on Twitter: "Since when were there too many toffees in Quality Street - who complained?"
Jonathan Smith, senior brand manager for Quality Street, said: "The reaction to Honeycomb Crunch replacing Toffee Deluxe last year was incredible and, although a lot of the comments were tongue in cheek, it was obvious that there is still a great deal of fondness for the Toffee Deluxe out there."
Nestle said main tub sizes and recommended retail prices remained unchanged this year.
Quality Street, a selection of chocolates that originally came in tins but are now more likely to be found in a plastic box, first hit the shelves in 1936 and were named after a play by Peter Pan author JM Barrie.

Pointy – Revived Laserpointermouse-project
by armageddon on Apr.01, 2011, under Projects, quickhack
Leave a Comment :c++, laser, laser pointer, minesweeper, mouse, mouse cursor, pointy, projector, python, revived, solitaire more...
Ages ago, I had a project that used a webcam to track a laser pointer on a wall and control the mouse cursor. When using a strong laser pointer, this even worked together with a projector. Since the project is very old and will not compile (c++) any more, I revived the project by doing a little bit of python coding. There is no calibration yet and the camera used was way to bad, but somehow I got it working, under certain circumstances (the picture has to be white enough for the camera to automatically turn the brightness down far enough etc).
Here are some proof of concept videos:

U.S Natural Gas Demand and Supply Projections: A WorkshopBoard on Earth Sciences and Resources
Keck Center of the National Academies
500 Fifth St. NW Washington DC 20001
The National Research Council proposes to conduct a workshop to address projections for the supply and demand for natural gas over the next 10 to 20 years and methods of increasing reserves and production. A workshop report, without conclusions and recommendations, will be prepared by the planning committee.
Workshop Summaries Resulting from this Event
The workshop examined the following three questions: (1) What projections have been made by government agencies for the U.S. supply of and demand for natural gas over the next 10 to 20 years? (2) Where are the current natural gas reserves and resources? (3) By what means and by how much can future reserves, resources, and production be increased? More >>

Stinging Insects Control NJ, PA, DE & MD
How do I recognize a stinging insect problem?
Numerous species of stinging insects are commonly referred to as "bee's". All are capable of delivering a painful sting that can even be life threatening in some sensitive individuals. The characteristic yellow and black striped pattern is common to Paper Wasps, Yellow Jackets, Mining Bees, Cicada Killers, European Hornets as well as Honey Bees. Our staff is trained to recognize each of these potential pests which all have differing nesting habits. It is important to properly identify these pests as control measure may differ greatly.
What are their effects on me or my home?
Some species may cause damage to your homes landscaping or may even damage the wood around your home! Mining bees and cicada killers create burros in lawns damaging turf. Carpenter Bees are solitary bees that bore holes into wood. Most other species take advantage of existing structure and do no damage what so ever. Improperly dealt with, honey bees can leave behind honey and other materials that can cause severe secondary pest infestations, like beetles and ants in very large numbers!
What effect can stinging insects have on my health?
The stings of wasps, bees and hornets are complex venoms that often effect people differently. Most people exhibit localized swelling and a burning pain after being stung. Sensitive individuals may exhibit severe life threatening allergic reactions shortly after being stung. Due to the aggressive nature with which most species will defend their nest, it is not uncommon to be stung by several "bees" at once. Children are especially at risk as the effects of their venom are often unknown as they have never been stung before.
Where did I get this pest?
All of the above mentioned species of "bee" naturally occur in our environment. Locating the nest can sometimes be difficult. Depending on species, they all have different preferred nesting sites.
What can I do to get rid of this pest?
Unlike other pests, we never recommend attempting to seal a hole that you see stinging insects entering. This may actually cause a problem to worsen forcing them indoor in large numbers. Self-treating this pest, especially in wall voids with over the counter aerosols usually does not work as the nest may be several feet from the entry point. Proper protective attire is highly recommended especially in confined spaces. Proper identification to determine if honey bees are present should always be done due to their beneficial nature and legally protected status in some states. Improper elimination of a honey bee colony and it remains can also cause severe secondary pest problems.
How we protect your home or property!
Vikings highly trained staff will properly identify and prescribe the appropriate course of action to protect your home, family's health as well as the environment. Treatments vary greatly depending on the species of stinging insects present. An inspection to your home and treatment plan customized to your needs will be provided free of charge! Please contact Viking in order to take advantage of this great value!

For the past few weeks, I've concentrated on preparing for FHL. Getting focused was really the hardest part. When the possibilities of who/what/where to research are practically endless, it's hard to decided where to start. It finally occurred to me to work on places that are not within easy driving distance of home and books that aren't available anywhere nearby.
My final research plan is a combination of 2 spreadsheets (listing 42 books and 103 rolls of microfilm), 42 Legacy Family Tree To Do Reports and a text doc that ties them together. The spreadsheets are sorted by microfilm and catalog numbers to make it easier to pull things and they are also color coded for three levels of priorities. I don't anticipate getting through everything.
Those files have all been loaded to my tablet and my phone. (I also printed them, just in case.) I've updated my genealogy database on both devices. The RootsTech app is loaded to my phone with the sessions I'm planning to attend on the schedule. Camera batteries are charged. Cameras, flash drives, extra SD cards, power cords, chargers and my GeneaBlogger button are all packed.
Now if I can just get all my clothes for a week into one suitcase . . .

Veterinarian Reviewed on February 23, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Every one of us has the familiarity with this small vegetable that is being used as seasoning. It has been said that garlic actually flourished in Central Asia. They first used it in culinary and then eventually discovered that it can also be used as medicine.
Base in history, Egyptians once used it to save their lives in the plague during that time. They crushed some garlic to produce a juice and pour it into their wine. And unbelievably, most of the people who drink this wine with garlic juice survive the plague. And that's the reason why garlic was identified as medicine for some diseases.
Different types of garlic are spread out to every continent. And every continent uses it in different ways, too.
Garlic is primarily used in culinary, as a seasoning. It was never been absent to every main course. It's like a single meal is tasteless if there is no garlic used. You will notice in recipe books that garlic is always present in the list of ingredients, just a proof that garlic is one of the most important thing in culinary.
Garlic can grow everywhere and can almost grow in every type of temperature and weather. All you have to do is plant one garlic head to the ground and wait for couple of weeks. Garlic's plant is hard and strong that is why pests are not attracted to it. This is a kind of plant that doesn't need much of attention. It's like plant it today, waters it every now and then, no need to worry about pests, and after awhile you can harvest it without too much effort.
Base on statistics, China is the top producer of garlic in the world. This is because they have wider land to cultivate. India is second in the list. Indians really love garlic and other spices, that's the reason why they seconded the list of garlic producing country in the world.
Garlic can also be used as cure to some illnesses. This is because of the antioxidant present on it. As we all know antioxidant helps to eliminate damage cells that sometimes cause major ailments like cancers. It is good to know that the food we eat everyday is helping us to stay away from diseases.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the ailments that garlic can cure. Heart disease is also being cured because garlic can neutralize the pressure in our blood. If the blood is becoming thicker, which is not good in our body, garlic will take it back to its normal condition.
It has been said that if you are going to use garlic as a medicine, it is always better if you are going to eat it as raw. This is because the nutrient content stays alive and more effective. Garlic supplement is not as effective as the raw garlic, so better eat raw garlic than those garlic supplements. Another advantage, raw garlic is cheaper than garlic supplement.
Garlic is not just a simple seasoning, so do not take it for granted. Or do not think that it is only used for sautéing.

Steve Hackett Live
The 13th of May, 2011 - Roma, Teatro Tendastrisce
Steve Hackett (guitar and voice)
Roger King (keyboard)
Gary O'Toole (drum, percussions and voice)
Rob Townsend (sax and flute)
Nick Beggs (bass guitar)
Amanda Lehmann (guitar and backing vocals)
A pair of shots I took before the show:
I've never seen a Steve Hackett show before. It was a wonderful concert, two hours and a half of great music. The Tendastrisce was almost full, and among the public I was able to see members of the PFM, the great italian progressive rock band.
All the musicians were great; Steve introduced the guitarist Amanda Lehmann, that sang Shadow of the Hierophant
Note the beautiful plaits of Nick Beggs, the bass player :-)
They played many beautiful songs both from Steve solo career, and by Genesis.
The fantastic Everyday, and Watcher of the Skies, that was moving to me.
Even Fly on a winshield, and Squonk.
At a certain point he said: if you wish to sing: Carpet Crawlers!
I remember Firth of Fifth.
And a beautiful guitar medley, with Horizons, and a very fleeting reference to Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. Then Blood on the Rooftops. Steve sang only his own songs. Genesis songs were interpreted by the drummer Gary O'Toole, great! His young and very beautiful voice made these songs still alive!
Also a beautiful stick bass guitar solo by Nick Beggs.
I was at the first row of chairs. Toward the end I sat down on the floor, just under the stage, few steps from them: it was fantastic, a real dream!
They said goodbye, and after some minutes they came out again for the encore, that I saw with my elbows on the stage!
Then the drummer played a very intense solo:
...with Steve at his side, in the dark...!
After the show, I staid there for some time to see how they were dismantling the stage.
Rob Townsend came out at this point.
Then, together with other people, I went near the big door where they'd have to go out; there were some bouncers.
The drummer came out before, then Steve. He was so kind to sign autographs for all the people waiting (me included!)
I'd have wanted to compliment to the drummer too, but he had already gone. Drummer, if by chance you are passing by this blog, I want to say to you: you're great! Keep on playing/singing this way!!!

Rangers enter Spring Training seeking fresh start
Pitchers and catchers to report Sunday eager to begin bounce-back seasons
ARLINGTON -- Rangers general manager Jon Daniels has come up with a marketing slogan for Spring Training 2014: "Fresh start."
"We're looking for a fresh start and see this group come together," Daniels said. "I'm hoping to see everybody bring a fresh attitude. The bottom line is we're in a mode of looking up again. That's got to be our attitude. I want to see this clubhouse come together and this team come together."
Spring Training is the very definition of a fresh start, and a dozen other clichés built around hope springs eternal. But in the Rangers' case, it seems permissible to round up the usual jingles as pitchers and catchers get ready to report on Sunday to the Surprise, Ariz., facility.
Not only do the Rangers need a fresh start as a team after technically missing the playoffs for the first time in four years, but their clubhouse will be filled with players looking to jumpstart their careers.
When the Rangers traded for Prince Fielder, everybody talked about this being a fresh start for him after what was perceived to be a "down" year in 2013 with the Tigers. Fielder hit .279 with 25 home runs and 106 RBIs for a team that went to the American League Championship Series.
He is going to be on the same field next week with a lot of players who would be eager to have a "down" year like that in 2013.
Who? The best place to start is the pitching staff. The Rangers have never had a Cy Young Award winner, but they have several candidates ready to make a big run for Comeback Player of the Year.
Start with Neftali Feliz, who will be trying to regain his role as closer after missing 13 months while recovering from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery. The two-time All-Star made eight appearances in September last season and now the Rangers wait to see if he's back to full strength.
If so, he will likely be the Rangers' closer. If not, the Rangers will look at either Joakim Soria or Tanner Scheppers. Soria is another two-time All-Star closer who is trying to get back to full strength after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He pitched in 26 games for the Rangers last season as a setup reliever with mixed success.
Then there is the rotation behind Yu Darvish and Martin Perez. The Rangers' top priority this Spring is sorting out who will be their five starters at the end of camp. Matt Harrison, a prime fresh-start poster child, will be one provided he is completely over the back problems that limited him to just two starts last season. Harrison said he is coming to camp 100 percent healthy.
Alexi Ogando is another leading candidate for the rotation, but he was on the disabled list three times last season with shoulder problems, so there are no guarantees. The Rangers have signed Tommy Hanson to compete for the fifth spot vacated by Derek Holland, and Colby Lewis is coming to camp healthy after not having pitched in the Major Leagues since July 18, 2012.
If Nick Tepesch can show a legitimate changeup as a third pitch, he will be somebody to watch, and the Rangers are determined to give Robbie Ross a chance to move from the bullpen to the rotation. If anybody needs a fresh start, it is Michael Kirkman, a two-time skin cancer survivor. He is out of options, but he is still left-handed and talented, and the Rangers aren't ready to give up on him yet.
You want fresh start? Right-hander Jose Contreras has probably had more "fresh starts" than the rest of the Rangers' pitching staff combined. Now the 42-year-old former Cuban defector who pitched in seven games for the Pirates last season is in camp with the Rangers trying to win one more job.
So is left-hander Rafael Perez, who was discarded by the Indians, Twins and Red Sox over the past two seasons, and right-hander Shawn Tolleson, a once promising prospect for the Dodgers who is trying to come back from the same back surgery that Harrison had last year. The list goes on.
"We're looking for some diamonds in the rough," pitching coach Mike Maddux said.
"We have a lot of options and some unanswered questions," Daniels said. "If we get through Spring Training healthy, we'll feel good about our group. If something pops up, you've got to be prepared for it, but I like the options we have. We need to make good evaluations and put this staff together the way it needs to be."
They'll need somebody to catch them. You want fresh start? How about the Rangers' catching situation? Geovany Soto is getting a chance to be the No. 1 catcher after two years as a backup, but he will be challenged by J.P. Arencibia, who was non-tendered by the Blue Jays after hitting just .194 for them last year.
Then there are Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo, who signed a seven-year, $130 million deal with the Rangers this winter, outfielder Michael Choice, who was acquired from the Athletics, Jurickson Profar, who is trying to win a job at second base and Mitch Moreland, who needs to show he can stay healthy for a full season and provide serious production against all pitchers from the designated hitter spot.
Oh yes, fresh start seems to be a pretty accurate description about what's happening in Spring Training for the Rangers, and it all starts Sunday when pitchers and catchers report.

An electric aircraft team led by Jack W. Langelaan, assistant professor of aerospace engineering at Penn State, is among four nominees for the National Aeronautic Association's (NAA) Collier Trophy, the "Greatest Award in Aviation."
Langelaan's team, Team Pipistrel-USA.com, took first place and $1.35 million in prize money in the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency Foundation Green Flight Challenge on Oct. 4, 2011.
The contest, held in Santa Rosa, Calif., challenged teams to design and build an electric aircraft capable of flying at an average speed of at least 100 mph over a 200-mile course while achieving a fuel efficiency greater than 200 passenger miles per gallon equivalent.
The team achieved the equivalent of 403 passenger miles per gallon at an average speed of 107 mph during the contest.
Previous Collier Trophy winners include the crews of Apollo 11 and Apollo 8, the Mercury 7 and Howard Hughes. Projects and programs which have received the Collier Trophy include the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber, the Boeing 747, the Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor fighter and the International Space Station.
The winner will be announced on March 13 at the group's spring awards luncheon with the formal trophy presentation on May 10 at the Collier Dinner in Arlington, Va.
Also nominated this year are the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Lockheed Martin C-5M Super Galaxy military transport aircraft and the University of Maryland's Gamera human-powered aircraft.

"Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord's return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen." (James 5:7, NLT)
God has put dreams and desires in every person's heart. But most times, there's a season of waiting involved. Maybe you're waiting for a relationship to improve; waiting to get married; waiting for a promotion, or waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is spent waiting. But there's a right way to wait and a wrong way to wait. Too often, when things don't happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged or anxious and fretful. That's because we're not waiting the right way. Continue reading 'Be Patient'

On Spiritual & Emotional DissatisfactionPublished June 15, 2013 Uncategorized 1 Comment
By: St. Amborse of Optina
It is useless to accuse those around us and those who live with us of somehow interfering with or being an impediment to our salvation and spiritual perfection… Spiritual or emotional dissatisfaction comes from within ourselves, from inexperience and from poorly conceived opinions we do not want to abandon, but which bring on doubt, embarrassment, and misunderstanding. All of this tires and burdens us, and brings us to a sorry state. We would do well to comprehend the Holy Fathers' simple advice: If we will humble ourselves, we will find tranquility anywhere, without having to mentally wander about many other places, where we might have the same, or even worse, experiences.
On Being Honest With YourselfPublished April 10, 2013 Uncategorized 2 Comments
By: Protopriest Sergei Chetverikov
If you are vigilant and honest with yourself, you would see that your life is a web, a huge network of such small but significant wicked moments, which comprise a significant part of your existence. If we ignore this, thinking that this is all normal, this means that you have not yet begun to live the Christian life.
On True Spiritual Warmth & IllusionsPublished February 21, 2013 Uncategorized 2 Comments
By: St. Gregory of Sinai
The true beginning of prayer is warmth of the heart, which scorches the passions and fills the soul with joy and gladness, strengthening the heart with an unshakable love and a firm assurance that leaves no room for doubt.
The Fathers say that whatever enters the soul, whether visible or invisible, is not from God so long as the heart is in doubt about it and so does not accept it: in such cases, it is something that comes from the enemy.
In the same way if you see your mind attracted by some invisible force to wander outside or soar high do not trust it and do not allow the mind to be enticed by it; but immediately force you mind to continue with its proper work. Whatever is of God comes by itself, says St. Isaac, whilst you are ignorant even of the time of its coming.
Thus the enemy tries to produce an illusion of some spiritual experience within us, offering us a mirage instead of the real thing-unruely burning instead of true spiritual warmth, and instead of joy, irrational excitement and physical pleasure which in turn gives rise to pride and conceit and he even succeeds in concealing himself from the inexperienced behind such seducements, so they think his diabolic illusion is really the working of grace.
Yet time, experience, and feeling will reveal him to those who are not altogether ignorant of his evil wiles. 'The palate discriminates between different foods,' says the Scriptures. In the same way spiritual taste shows all things as they are, without any illusion.
Show-OffPublished February 11, 2013 Uncategorized 1 Comment
There's always one in every crowd – a show off. This is someone who always has the best of everything. If you have something, he has one better. He is stronger, faster, smarter, more talented, and better looking than you. I've even had the experience (in my pagan days) of being around someone who, no matter what you said about the bad things you had done, had done even worse. I always thought that was a rather odd and inverted kind of pride. If I had drank one drink, he drank five drinks. If I smoke marijuana, he had used cocaine. Well, you get the picture. Once I even boasted about something that I hadn't really done, and sure enough, he had done even worse.
Jesus told the lepers to go and show themselves to the priest. This command was according to the Jewish law of that time, yet it was radical for Jesus to even acknowledge them. There was no disease more feared than leprosy. Not only did you suffer from disfigurement, you were completely cast out of society. No one ever acknowledged you or greeted you. We see this reality when it says in the story that the lepers stood "afar off." Continue reading 'Show-Off'
On Fasting & Self-ControlPublished January 23, 2013 Uncategorized 4 Comments
By: St. Gregory Palamas
Sensual pleasure causes ungodliness as well as sin, but fasting and self-control result in the fear of God as well as virtue. Fasting must be accompanied by self-control. Why? Because eating our fill, even of humble foods, is a hindrance to the purifying mourning, godly sorrow and contrition in our souls, which bring about unswerving repentance leading to salvation. For without a contrite heart we cannot really lay hold of repentance. It is the restriction of self-indulgence, sleep and the senses according to God's will that crushes our hearts and makes us mourn for our sins.
On Being Gentle & MeekPublished January 18, 2013 Uncategorized 3 Comments
By: St. John Chrysostom
Every virtue is a good thing, but most of all gentleness and meekness. This showeth us men; this maketh us to differ from wild beasts; this fitteth us to vie with Angels. Wherefore Christ continually expendeth many words about this virtue, bidding us be meek and gentle. Nor doth He merely expend words about it, but also teacheth it by His actions; at one time buffeted and bearing it, at another reproached and plotted against; yet again coming to those who plotted against Him. For those men who had called Him a demoniac, and a Samaritan and who had often desired to kill Him, and had cast stones at Him, the same surrounded and asked Him, "Art thou the Christ?" Yet not even in this case did He reject them after so many and so great plots against Him, but answered them with great gentleness.

Prom and Graduation
Attending Prom[edit]
As the teenage life stage comes to a close, teens in a public school will have a chance to go to prom. There is a bit of a contest to doing so; a Prom King and Prom Queen will be chosen, and the chance your Sim gets the honor will go up if they've made a lot of friends in school (especially with the "Talk to Friends" job strategy). Still, you'll have to actually attend prom to get it; either way, going to prom will result in a massive relationship boost with your date.
That is assuming, of course, that you actually have a date. Sims are non-traditional, and they don't mind a girl asking a guy to the prom. Better still, your Sim may be the one who's asked (via pop-up box) if you don't arrange a date fast enough. Not just anyone will ask you to the prom, but if your Sim has a close relationship with another teen (especially a steady boyfriend or girlfriend), it'll be pretty easy to ask or be asked to the prom.
Sims do rely on relationship scores for this, so if you (like Felix) have managed to upset everyone your teen is going to school with, you'll be lacking any arm candy. You can still go to the prom alone, and you'll have some social gains with other teens as a result, but flying solo will prevent you from having that very strong relationship boost. If you play your cards right and had a high relationship score prior to the prom, it's very possible that both Sims will be ready to marry the instant they age up.
You're warned via push notification when the prom is coming, giving you several days to prepare. Once you know who you want to take, you should be the social aggressor (so to speak) and really push the question. If your relationship isn't high enough and you insist on taking that Sim, you'll want to use the next few days to date the target and otherwise raise the relationship meter as quickly as possible.
Once it's time to head to the prom, the limo arrives one hour before the dance, just like any other carpool. Your date will show up to your doorstep as well, and may or may not go with you; either way, he or she will get there eventually.
Now, Felix finds himself in a strange bind. He romanced his date, Belisama Hemlock, then asked her to the prom, and she accepted. Before he could develop the relationship much more, Belisama aged up!
Here, The Sims 3 is forgiving. Although they're banned from doing any more romantic social interactions to each other for now, they keep their "Romantic Interest" flag, and she indeed shows up to the prom. They'll still gain their relationship as well, and she'll be ready for him once he ages up. Any human-controlled teen's prom always takes place only a couple days or fewer before they age up, so they'll only be apart for a short time.
After the dance concludes, everyone needs to head home immediately, as they'll be cutting it close with their curfews. Everyone who attended will have pictures in their personal inventories of different moments of the event. These pictures can be hung or displayed on surfaces like any other picture.
Once a Sim is ready to graduate, you'll get an alert in a pop-up box. If you accept, everyone in the house heads over to the school to watch the graduation ceremony! Felix is of course the first to do so, and so the entire Carwin clan (that isn't committed to Boarding School) jumps in a car and heads over to watch.
Watching a graduation is entirely optional and makes pretty much no impact on the Sims' lives. Still, it's another memory and moment, especially one that can be uploaded to the official Sims 3 Exchange.

About Ben Strom
where in the bill is this? i did a cursory reading and couldnt find it.
It's kind of sad considering how digital-friendly the NHL has been recently in terms of allowing game clips on youtube, posting all their highlights and allowing remixes, etc. etc.
its odd because i heard the 80k warehouse members back in 2003.
it is free to tape and distribute (for free) ALL concert shows.
thats true that the GD were there first in terms of fan taping. but i was talking about an artist approved repository of shows. do grateful dead fans have one?
They sell a shit ton of merch. it is ridiculous.
Also, every show has its own unique poster. This follows the scarcity idea. I believe that the average run of a poster is about 500 per venue. The really big shows have 1,000 tops I think. Each poster is high quality, silk screened & signed and numbered by the artist. People have been known to line up 3 hours early to make sure that they get a poster.
They also have a series of Live Albums (19 albums at the moment) that with the exception of 2 volumes is only available from their website.
There is also a DMBLive series that is only available for download from their site.
Coran Capshaw is a genius when it comes to merch and i wouldn't be surprised if the $200,000 is much much higher these days.
the band has always allowed taping of all of their shows for their entire history. if you look at dreamingtree.org you will find nearly EVERY show EVER performed. named me another band where you can find that.
ps. they had grass roots support long before they got a record deal. they self-released a ep and a album before they got their record deal.
i wrote a paper on the tuskegee airmen that i used in high school history (12th grade), high school english (12th grade), college composition, college history class, and adapted it to a speech for speech class.
Each time i added to it and changed things, but the basic framework was there.
so the full notice was hilarious. I kind of want to email and ask for permission and see where we go from there. too bad i know squat about poetry.

Christmas tree history
The first Christmas tree has a long association with Christianity, it began in Germany almost 1,000 years ago when St Boniface, who converted the German people to Christians, was said to have come across a group of pagans worshipping an oak tree. In anger, St. Boniface cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from the roots of the oak tree. St Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But it was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time. Until about 1700, the […]

Video Conferencing on a rise
Video conferencing is on the rise and with the introduction of new technologies – this is only set to continue. In a recent survey conducted by Powwownow, we found that an enormous 70% of SMEs would rather have a video conference than travel to meetings. And 75% of senior management surveyed agreed that video conferencing will replace conference calls and become the preferred method for business communication in the future. Businesses are constantly looking for ways to reduce business costs and keep businesses functioning on lower budgets – video conferencing allows them to do this. Reducing travel costs and in some cases office costs too, as video conferencing allows a greater opportunity for remote working.

text: Digital Pinterest Now Ranks 3rd, Trailing Twitter And Facebook That didn't take long: Pinterest is now comfortably in third place in terms of traffic for social networks, trailing Facebook and Twitter.By David Cohen|April 6, 2012 Share By David Cohen|April 6, 2012 Share That didn't take long: Pinterest is now comfortably in third place in terms of traffic for social networks, trailing Facebook and Twitter. Experian said Pinterest saw its traffic jump 50 percent in February compared with January, vaulting it past more entrenched social networks such as LinkedIn, Tumblr, and Google Plus. Facebook not only held onto the top spot, but retained dominance in average minutes per month, clocking 405, compared with 89 for Pinterest, according to comScore. Perhaps helping Pinterest's leapfrogging over Google Plus to take the number three spot is connecting to Facebook. The search giant remains frozen out of that due to AdSense not yet complying with Facebook's advertising rules, among other issues. Pinterest seems to be gaining many users from virality on Facebook, where users see news feed stories about their friends activating accounts on the pinning site. But so far the demographics are still skewed on the number three site, according to our sibling blog Social Times, which said: The image bookmarking site has grown exponentially since the site launched in March 2010. There were 21.5 million total visits to the site during the week ending January 28, 2012, which is nearly 30 times the number of total visits that Pinterest had received six months earlier. From January 2012 to February 2012, traffic went up 50 percent. The crowd is 60 percent female (which is a different number than we've reported previously) and 55 percent of them are between the ages of 25 and 44. California and Texas provide the most traffic, but Pinterest has more visitors from the midwest, northwest, and southeast than sites like Facebook and YouTube. Home decor, fashion, and food are all popular categories on the site, but "hobbies and crafts" in particular is the category to watch. Pinterest users outnumbered visitors to other hobbies and crafts sites in 19 states. The baby boom and boomerang generations were most likely to spend time in this category, with Pinterest capturing 10 percent of this audience. Experian's analysts say that social media communities are becoming less about friendships and more about common interests: a new facet of the overall movement toward social personalization. Pinterest hits both targets with a Facebook integration as well as an open community where users can explore and share images with people outside their networks. While Pinterest and Facebook work together as partners rather than rivals, the number one social network has duly noted the popularity of pinning, adding it to timeline pages. Right now, you can only pin one thing at a time to a page, and the capability doesn't yet extend to profiles as a native feature. However, a third-party application called Friendsheet transforms Facebook profiles into a Pinterest-like interface. We wonder whether the recent liking of this app by Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg signaled the beginnings of talks toward a possible acquisition of the startup. So, have you used Friendsheet or set up a Pinterest profile linked to your Facebook account, readers? Share http://adweek.it/2jIaxRu copy Adweek Adweek

The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee has said the government should be more ambitious in its strategy for greening the use of information technology.
Part of its Greening Government report (pdf) highlights the Greening Government ICT Strategy, launched in July 2009, with a claim that it is time to raise the ambition level around the agenda.
"The chief information officers and chief technology officers have responded well to the first set of targets but they must now be increased," the reports says. "The strategy itself acknowledges there is a need to work with departments and industry to explore and invest in radical green ICT solutions for the ICT problem, but also consider issues relating to the life cycle impact and disposal of old IT hardware."
It points to a number of areas in which further action could be taken, including: - extending procurement cycles to a mandatory minimum of four years - reducing the duplication of equipment per person - ensuring that data centres meet the European Data Centre code of Conduct for server optimisation - reducing unnecessary packaging of equipment - developing a pan-government strategy on video conferencing - increasing the amount of renewable energy sourced for electricity.
The report says the government is developing a Green ICT Scorecard to help organisations deal with environmental responsibilities, and a roadmap for chief information officers to support their efforts in the field.
It also highlights the potential of IT to reduce the need for travel, and to ensure that people make the most efficient travel choices through providing them with the relevant information.

Hey, man. I'm qualified to limp-wrist. I can move my wrists past the horizontal, without having to push down on 'em. Not much past horizontal, but I can.

PlayStation 3 HDD Upgrade for Games
PS3 ModChips are needed for users to be able to attach an external USB Hard Drive and play PS3 game backups from the attached Hard Drive. PS Jailbreak PS3 Mod-Chip was the first to achieve this, but it was expensive and it's mass production was lagging behind the other alternative mod solutions like PS3key PS3 modchip from the Wii chip makers (authors of WiiKey and DriveKey), PS3 x3 Jailbreak mod and PS3 Break and many others. The good thing about the clones of the original PSJailbreak is that many of them added new features to the package, like PS3 Break has the option to update its kernel via a regular PC USB port, and there are improvements to the original PS3 Backup Manager making it harder for Sony PSN to detect it when you play the games online. PS Downgrade - a software update to the PSJailbraik has been made available to make it work with version 3.41
PS3 USB Mod-Chip - Play Games from PS3 Hard Disk
The new controller sports a boomerang-style design and includes all of the same buttons as the Dual Shock and Dual Shock2. Also PS3 system will launch with Bluetooth wireless controllers.
ModChip brands: PS3key from the makers of WiiKey and DriveKey. PS3 modchip x3 mod a clone of the PS3 chip. With PS3key You know that a dedicated team is behind it with updates and continued support. PS3 USB HDD chips can be used in combination with PS3 mod chips x3 jailbreak PSJailbreak and others. Now also a Hub version available for linking HDD to PS3 without taking up extra USB port.

* You can upgrade PlayStation 3 with a 20GB Hard Disk Drive or even bigger 40GB, 60GB and 200GB HDD and store a lot more files.
Recent information divulged from SCE chief technology officer Masayuki Chatani suggests that the company is still undecided as to whether this Playstation 3 hard drive will be bundled with the PS3 console as a standard option or not. Indeed, we are no closer in confirming if any HD will be ready for the PlayStation 3 launch in Japan next Spring. Like Microsoft's Xbox 360 HDD , Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 3 will feature a removable, hot-swappable hard drive (PS3 HDD) to store data from games, MP3 and video files and images from digital media devices.

the problem is back even with new IC. any help on this?? Cant I declare Digital pin 0 to output? still watever code i run its now showing a voltage of 5V. What could be the problem??
So can you upload sketches to your board, like blink? What are you wishing to do with pin 0 on the arduino?
QuoteSo can you upload sketches to your board, like blink? What are you wishing to do with pin 0 on the arduino?Yes. I can. But the problem is even the blinky code on any pin say pin 10 works... but still the Tx pin remains at high state...I am trying to use pin 0 as a normal output pin. and I am not using serial commands... If u ask me will the pin 0 work? it works. because if i explicitly make it LOW if a particular condition is met Pin 0 output becomes zero. But the problem is when its in standy or not doing any operation on pin 0 like in blinky code on pin 13, Tx pin it goes high for no apparent reason.I even tried setting Output to LOW in the setup function thinking that default value of Pin 0 may be HIGH and I will set it to LOW once in setup so that it low whwn rest of the program runs. but still Tx pin goes HIGH. and Currently its showing a voltage of 3.6V.
Again, if pin 0 is in it's default input pin mode you will still measure +5vdc on it because it's wired to the Tx pin of the serial USB convertor chip.
Why must you not want to see a positive voltage on pin 0 if you are not using it?
So wont specifying a the pin to LOW in setup function solve the problem? Apparently it is not...
In setup change the pin to output mode, then set it to digitalOut low, problem solved, no?
I want to whether there is some statements other than Serial commands which might trigger the pin 0 to go high randomly.

Dorothy Manley is the one of only two British women to have won a medal in the 100 metres at the Olympics.
Dorothy was born in Manor Park, London in 1927. She was initially introduced into athletics by one of her school teachers and worked her way up from the school, to the district and then to running for her county before the Second World War. She was evacuated to the countryside, but returned to London in 1942.
After that Dorothy ran for the Essex Ladies athletics club. She was added to a national list of potential Olympians in late 1947, and assigned to train with Sandy Duncan. She began her training for the 1948 Summer Olympics early in March of 1948, training on the track four times a week, but never using the gym. Dorothy described the trials as a "fiasco", having finished fifth at the Women's Amateur Athletic Association Championships, but was still picked to represent the United Kingdom. She was working full time during 1948 for the Suez Canal Company as a typist, and used her summer holidays to attend the games although the leave was unpaid by her employer.
Dorothy had a very different experience in 1948 to the one our Olympic athletes will enjoy this year. Her mother made her running vest and shorts for the Games, but she was given the blazer and skirt for the opening ceremony. While at the Games, she travelled to and from Wembley on the London Underground, as she was sharing a room with two other athletes near Eccleston Square in central London.
She qualified for the women's 100 metres final, and finished in second place, winning the silver medal in her first international athletics event. Dorothy described her start in the race as the "best of her life",having described her normal starts as notoriously bad. She thought that this may have actually distracted her as her start was so good that she was expecting the race to be recalled.
Dorothy has not had the recognition that she deserves for her achievements, but despie that she is a true inspiration to our current generation of Olympic hopefuls.

by Satyabhama Ashley-Farrand
The highest, most effective mantra is the Gayatri mantra, particularly the long version: Om Bhu Om Bhuvaha Om Swaha Om Maha Om Janaha Om Tapaha Om Satyam Om Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhi'mahi Dhiyo Yonaha Prachoda'yat. This is the mantra recommended to all, whether Vishnu or Shiva or Devi worshippers. Children are initiated into it at 8 years old, the age that the ancient sages determined as being mature enough to be responsible for one's own acts, karma. It is recommended to chant it first thing in the mornings, predawn and also at dusk, if possible. It is the only mantra to take the vibrations through the brain, keeping it healthy.
In chanting this mantra, one spiritualizes every phrase by beginning with Om. Each of the Seven Luminous Lokas are named, starting with Bhu/Earth, and simultaneously one should visualize taking our own energies (both prana and kundalini) through each chakra, including the 7th chakra, just above the head. The rest of the mantra takes us through our sun (Savitur) to Devasya, the dwelling place of the Devas/Devis, the Shining Ones, then making our request to them to enlighten us: body, mind and spirit.
The Maha Mantra is correctly Rama first, then the line for Krishna, following their chronological appearances in the Earth plane. This is the mantra considered to be best for regular use in this Dark Age. Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare; Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
For healing, all Rama mantras are the best. Just chanting Rama Rama Rama . . . repeatedly will balance the currents (Ida and Pingala) in the body. Om Sri Rama Jai Rama Jaya Jaya Rama is called the Taraka Mantra, because like the Devi Tara, it takes you across the Ocean of Samsaras. This means it sands away a bit of your karma with every repetition.
The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra of Shiva defeats death and avoids accidents. It is often chanted by and for people with serious diseases. We also chant it before driving/riding in a car. It is Om Tray'ambakam Yaja Mahae Sugan'dhim Pushti Vardanam Uvaru'kamiva Bhanda'nan Mrityor Muksheeya Mamri'tat.
There are many others for different purposes/attraction of certain energies. Lakshmi for abundance of all kinds; Saraswati for true knowledge, the arts, spiritual discipline, and Durga for protection from negativity, inner and outer.
There are many Ganesha mantras for various purposes both esoteric and mundane.
All mantras ameliorate our karma. Chanting aloud is best for something you desire to manifest on Earth, including healing. Chanting silently is the most effective otherwise, because it is at the highest vibration.
