Notes on 'Forget Time'
M.Marsden, Comments on "Forget Time" - Carlo Rovelli.
On an Amazon forum 'Space-Time' Jack Shandy, posted a reference to a couple of article on the possible non existence of time.
( http://www.amazon.com/forum/science/ref=cm_cd_et_md_pl?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=FxZ58KVEERYS5E&cdMsgNo=30&cdPage=2&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx1V353DWZ3ISSV&cdMsgID=MxN3V4DFZBPKZO#MxN3V4DFZBPKZO )
Because I think i can show how the idea of time is unfounded, I read the excellent paper 'forget time', and because I think it may be over complicated in places, I composed this response...
(It turned out to be rather detailed, so I posted a cut down version on my own Amazon forum, so as not to 'bomb' someone else's forum
http://www.amazon.co.uk/General-questions-on-Timelessness/forum/Fx1UY2YQSUEXQV1/Tx1GC1P217RT150/1/ref=cm_cd_et_md_pl?_encoding=UTF8&cdMsgNo=4&asin=B007BV88TG&cdSort=oldest&cdMsgID=Mx2BA6U67LCHV93#Mx2BA6U67LCHV93 )
"Forget Time" (Essay for the FQXi competition) is in my opinion excellent, but perhaps over complicated in places, and perhaps clings to the idea of 'trying to explain how Time may not exist... in terms of 'Time', which may disempower some of the points it makes.
I suggest this because I have certain differing points of view about a number of the long held scientific beliefs or assumptions it draws on, and the possibility that in our understanding of even basic mechanics there may be some very significant, yet long hidden oversights, conveniently summed up in the works of Galileo, Newton and Einstein, thus,
P1: Galileo Galilei,
Section III-A (of 'forget time' starts
"Clock making owes a lot to Galileo Galilei, who discovered that the small oscillations of a pendulum are isochronous."... "Using his own pulse"
My problem here is the word "isochronous" (wiki – "from the Greek iso (equal) and chronos (time). It literally means regularly, or at equal time intervals.)
This suggests that Time in some way exists, and that Galileo discovered that any particular pendulum will "take" the same amount of "time" to complete each oscillation. And that 'intervals' 'of Time' also exist.
I suggest (from all I have read) that Galileo did not observe, or prove, that there exists a 'Future'. And that he did not observe, or prove, that there exists a 'Past'. And that he did not observe, or prove, that there exists a thing called 'Time' which 'passes' (from 'the Future' to 'The past') as pendulums oscillate, or as anything else moves. Nor did he prove that 'intervals' or durations etc really 'exist', or make any sense other than as useful ideas..
These details may seem trivial, or a case of being too critical too soon in a matter, here, but unless the existence of these 'things' is proven, then it is very unscientific, and will almost certainly lead to deep confusion (as we will see) if they are built on as if they are in any way confirmed – while never actually confirming them, before we reach apparently solid conclusions based on them.
Thus, IMO (In My Opinion) Galileo did not actually prove pendulums were 'isochronous', He only proved that pendulums can swing, human bodies can 'pulse', and that these two things can be compared, and found to 'align', i.e. Unexpectedly - for each pendulum swing, even though its amplitude decreases, a pulse may consistently complete 5 beats.
This is not IMO a trivial reworking of the initial term 'iso-chronous', because this word suggests and implies, without proving it, that 'Time' and thus in some way 'The past' and 'The future', along with times 'flow', 'direction' and 'function' (allowing or making things happen) all in some way exist. But none of these 'things' have been observed (By Galileo etc) All that is observed is matter, gravity, motion, and energy etc can exist, and thus things can move and be compared 'in a human brain'.
P2, "Isaac Newton
III A continues,
"Isaac Newton provides a nice clarification of this issue in the Principia. According to Newton, we never directly measure the true time variable t. Rather, we always construct devises, the "clocks" indeed, that have observable quantities (say, the angle _ between the clock's hand and the direction of the digit "12"), that move proportionally to the true time, "
(my underlining)
The problem here is that we do indeed construct devices, which do indeed provide a 'useful example of regular motion'. Useful because we can sensibly compare other complex motion to it. But, as above, as far as I am aware, Newton provided very useful equations for how gravity accelerates falling objects etc, but Newton did not observe, or prove, that there exists a 'Future'. Or that there exists a 'Past'. Or that there exists a thing called 'Time' which 'passes' (from 'the Future' to 'The past') as objects fall and accelerate to Earth.
E.g. If we take any example of Newton's equations for a falling body, apparently revealing say that 'a stone takes 5 seconds to fall down a well', this can be seen to only prove that stones fall and accelerate, and that the Earth spins, and for said fall the Earth spins through 0.016... 'degrees'.
In other words, the accuracy and usefulness of Newton's equations in no way also actually prove that a thing called 'time' also exists and is 'needed' or has a 'fixed direction' in which it 'passes' as stones fall etc. The equations only show that things can exist and move and this motion can be compared.
P3 Einstein, Relativity.
'Forget Time' - P I THE NEED TO FORGET TIME ) starts by saying,
"General relativity has changed our understanding of space and time".
But this suggests that the existence of time was either proven before Einstein's work, or that Einstein's work in some way proved times existence.
IMO, In Einstein's 'Electrodynamics' 1905, he says,
...we must bear carefully in mind that a mathematical description of this kind has no physical meaning unless we are quite clear as to what we understand by "time." ... If, for instance, I say, "That train arrives here at 7 o'clock," I mean something like this: "The pointing of the small hand of my watch to 7 and the arrival of the train are simultaneous events."3
This is not a logical proof that time exists etc, it is a description of how things are if one 'assumes' that time exists. In other words, all Einstein has shown here is that objects can exist and move if they have the energy to do so. E.g. 'Trains' can move, and 'motorised hands' can 'rotate around numbered dials', and that one can choose to compare the positions of moving objects.
Very explicitly Einstein has not proved, or (pointed to a proof) that that there exists a 'Future'. Or that there exists a 'Past'. Or that there exists a thing called 'Time' which 'passes' (from 'the Future' to 'The past') as trains move, (or stop), as motorised hands rotate, or as humans choose to compare the motion or positions of these things. He has also not proven that extra to energy, the existence and passage of 'time' is needed for things to be able to move, and be compared etc. Or that because the 'clock' hand has been manufactured to rotate in one fixed direction, that this relates to or proves that 'time' also exists, and, generally 'flows' in 'one fixed direction'.
"The Relativity revolution has modified the notion of time in a number of ways. I skip here the changes introduced by Special Relativity (in particular, the relativity of simultaneity), which are much discussed and well understood,"
(my underlining)
However, as with the above, IMO, along with not proving the existence of function of time and in particular not proving 'the past' or 'future' exist, Einstein has also not proven that 'this moment' is a fleeting or passing thing, or that there may be 'different moments'.
Thus the term 'simultaneous' (same-time) is seriously questioned. I.e. the train or the watch hand (or any other things) may just 'always' be somewhere, doing something, and that is it! I.e. Einstein has not shown that 'time' or 'different times' exist, the word simultaneous can be seen as redundant and meaningless. And perhaps everything is always just doing something 'now'. Any 'thoughts' to the contrary, will actually, in fact, just be the matter in your brain, 'doing something now'. i.e I think the 'relativity of simultaneity' is not well understood.
'Simultaneity' and 'Time' dilation.
Issues around simultaneity are often expressed by the statement 'moving clocks run slow'. This has been scientifically confirmed, but that extra to showing 'how energy can be released smoothly', a 'clock' also proves or reveals the nature of a thing called 'time' has not IMO been proven.
Thus it is accepted as true that if one 'clock' travels far and fast, away from and back to a similar stationary device, the hands on the travelling device will show fewer degrees of rotation that the stationary device. And thus that less 'local change' has occurred to the travelling device. (Corresponding to more 'change in location' of the device).
But it is not accepted that this experiment (as actually carried out via GPS etc) also proves that 'time' exists, and flows in one direction, and is needed for motion or change, or that the moving device 'sinks' in some way into 'the past'. Or its counterpart rushes into 'the future' more freely. It only proves that moving things may 'change' more slowly than others.
General Relativity.
Thus IMO even GR does not prove the existence of, or say anything about 'Time'. It does brilliantly reveal how mass warps space, how gravity slows 'change', and how 'change in location' and 'local change' are interrelated. Or to be more precise, simply the same thing.
Section VI. RECOVERY OF TIME, suggests,
"If we formulate the fundamental theory of nature in a timeless language, we have then the problem of recovering the familiar notion of time".
(my underlining) I disagree because the notion of time has not been proven to be valid - other than as a useful semantic tool for understanding, describing, comparing and making calculations about all the constant 'change' around and within us. However, part of the problem of recovering the notion of time is put as...
The time of our experience is associated with a number of peculiar features that make it a very special physical variable.
"Intuitively (and imprecisely) speaking, time "flows", we can never "go back in time", we remember the past but not the future, and so on. Where do all these very peculiar features of the time variable come from?"
"I think that these features are not mechanical. Rather they emerge at the thermodynamical level". (my underlining)
Building on my previous reasoning, if it is basically correct, then...
'Time' is not a special physical variable, it is a useful idea, and the word we may give to one sample of motion (usually taken from a smoothly moving/rotating body or machine) we use to compare to another. The idea time flows, however loosely taken, is just the observation that things are here now, and they move and change. If anything can be said to flow it can be matter (water etc) and energy, heat light, electricity etc. We may pick various examples of movement/energy, and choose to call the direction it moves 'forwards' but this doesn't prove 'time' really 'exists' or 'flows'. (and if doesn't exist, or flow etc, it doesn't need to be explained, or explained away!
We can't "go back in time", because the existence/function of Time, or even an initial reason for suspecting its existence has not been shown.
'Back in time' suggest 'the past', + the idea "we remember the past but not the future,".
Here we need to be extremely clear as to what we mean by these terms. Ask anyone about 'the past' and they will tell you something about 'the physical contents of their minds' (here, now) or objects they 'call' artefacts, also 'here now'.
We may assume, or declare that these things 'also' relate to or prove the existence of 'the', 'temporal past' – but all these things prove is that matter can exist, and interact, creating intricate 'matter in-formation' in certain places. Thus we do not remember the (temporal) past. We look in our minds etc, and we CALL what we see 'the past'.
Likewise we can create images or ideas in our minds e.g. 'of a bridge collapsing, or not' and we can CALL these 'the future', and say we can guess at, but not 'remember' 'it – the future'. But again all we have proved is that matter within and with-out of us, can exist, move, and be compared etc. We have not proved that 'time' exists, and the 'future' exists, or that 'time' steadily brings 'the future' to us. Thus I think these things (the past and future) are absolutely no more than 'labels' we give to different types of thoughts, and invalid 'things' we think these thoughts relate to or prove. Thus IMO these features are not thermodynamical, because they don't exist.
The 'Arrow(s) of Time' – the conflict between Classical and Quantum mechanics.
Thermodynamics, brings us to the supposed 'arrow of time', i.e. proof that there is something fundamentally one way in the workings of the universe. These may be said to be the 'Thermodynamic', 'psychological' and 'cosmological' arrows.
However, IMO, based on the above reasoning, in brief.
'Thermodynamically', cups of coffee get cold, and dropped vases smash, but we don't typically see the opposite. This is true, but it does not prove there is a record of all events created and stored 'behind' them in a 'temporal past' nor that 'time' or a 'temporal future' exist.
'psychologically' we may walk around the earth, light hitting our eyes, and us sequentially organising 'piles' of data if you will.
And 'cosmologically' the universe may in general be expanding in all directions unstoppable – heading for a heat death. (or doing anything else).
All of these things may be true, but IMO none of them prove there is a 'record of all events' created and stored 'behind' us in some way in fourth dimension or 'temporal past'. Nor that as things move and change they need a 'future' in which to head into. Nor that extra to energy, a thing called 'time' passes and is needed for things to change. Nor that this 'time' thing has fixed, or otherwise, 'direction'. Nor that it can be slowed or warped ('rates of change' can be slowed – but that's not a proof of past/future etc).
IMO, all of the above are projections, of (a very useful) framework of ideas, on to what we actually observe. And confusion arises wherever we forget that we just made up these useful terms, and instead start actually looking for, or thinking we have to 'actually' prove or disprove, the past, the future, time, or its 'direction' etc.
Ultimately the problems seems to be –
1- IF we assume TIME exists, THEN the world seems to confirm our ASSUMPTION
2- BUT, IF we assume things JUST exist and interact, then this too will seem to be confirmed
The difference between these 2 views is, #1 depends on the existence of numerous unseen unproven intangible 'things' (past future etc), while #2 depend solely on countless things that we can constantly see, detect, measure, use and compare etc =)
RE the conflict between Classical and Quantum mechanics – re Time.
The apparent or suggested 'conflict' between Classical and Quantum mechanics, re Time is as I understand it the conflicting idea that Time seems to have an arrow, or fixed direction on a large scale (Newtonian/Einsteinium Relativistic physics), but on a Quantum mechanical level processes can operate perfectly 'forwards' or 'backwards' – suggesting 'time does not exist' on this scale, or that 'time is reversible' on this scale.
IMO, this confusion is based entirely on the misunderstandings I thing I have exposed above. Thus, while it may be true that on a large scale dropped vases smash into fragments, but fragments don't fly up to form vases – and on a small scale, one particle may disintegrate into others AND the process may occur in reverse perfectly – this is just because that IS the way matter behave on small or large scales. As large aggregates of matter are splitting in a 'one way' manner (vases smashing), within those fragments (or elsewhere) minute particles may be splitting and reforming perfectly.
But this IM can have nothing to do at all with a thing called 'time' existing, and 'it' behaving in different ways on different physical scales. Because 'times' existence has only ever been wrongly assumed, and not proven – and it must scientifically be very wrong to try and force the idea to work in quantum mechanics if it can't even be shown to work with a large scale 'pendulum'.
Note, this is not a cop out, IMO, though I know very little about QM, I feel sure that trying to understand it while also trying to force invalid assumptions to 'fit' within it must obscure any problems, and if the 'concept being incorrectly forced in is a complex and ethereal as 'time' then this must almost certainly have a very detrimental effect on understanding.
Conclusion. There's no need to 'forget time'.
So, in conclusion, Mr Rovelli, IMO there is no need to 'forget time', just to remember that we made the idea up, but many people don't seem to realise this. Instead, I believe (mysterious and amazing as it is) that things are just as we directly observe them to be, matter exists, moves and interacts, possibly ultimately heading, on average, towards a universal heat death etc, but always just doing it, in countless real, physical directions, 'now' – to use a redundant term.
RE Quantum gravity, as I say I know very little at all about QM, but I feel sure (if I am right) that first pulling out time from any understanding of QM in relation to 'time' seeming to exist, or not exist or be reversible, or not, etc on different scales may help. Then considering how Newton did not show how apples fall under gravity 'with time', but just that their falling can be compared to other motion. And how Einstein did not (IMO) show time exists, nor that it is merged with space, nor that 'time' has a direction or can be dilated etc, may open up some 'paradigm shifts' in ways to look at QM and Quantum Gravity.
Just my thoughts,

A USDA survey showed that more than one-third of our daily calories come from food eaten away from home. Foods prepared outside the home have more calories, saturated fat and sodium than food prepared at home. If you decide to eat out where should you go – fast food chain, fast casual chain or a local restaurant in town? The answers may surprise you.
Fast casual restaurants have on average more than 750 calories per entrée, whereas fast food entrées average 560. Surprised? So were the researchers at the Arnold School of Public Health at University of South Carolina. What drives these findings? In a word – portions. At a fast food chain, burgers, sandwiches, fries and drinks are a certain portion size. You may be able to customize your order to a certain degree but a meal is pretty standard. Go to a fast casual restaurant and chips and salsa or a refillable bread basket are placed on the table. Drinks are refilled regularly, even if you do not request more, despite the fact that the original drink came in a quart-sized glass.
Next is the entrée, which is enormous. Though all chains will give you the option to take uneaten food home, few people do. Our human biology works against us when we see and smell tempting food. Our sympathetic nervous system revs up, insulin secretions drop blood sugar, and our stomachs relax. These physiological changes prepare us to eat all the food within reach. That was fine in the Stone Age when a large filling meal might be an infrequent happening, but eating out 3 or more times a week, it can be a recipe for weight gain.
Would you be better off eating in your local diner or family restaurant in town? Not according to researchers from Tufts University who looked at meals from non-chain (local) restaurants. American, Chinese and Italian restaurants had the highest calories count per meal, close to 1,500. These restaurants, because they are not chains, are exempt from providing nutrition and calorie information for their menu items. Approximately 50% of all restaurants in the US fall into this non-chain category.
Bottom line: Eating out can be a minefield, tread with caution.

If I could choose one word to describe my personal set of beliefs it would be kismet.
[ ˈkizmit, -ˌmet ]
noun: kismet
destiny; fate:
"what chance did I stand against kismet?"
There have been very specific events and people who have shaped the course of my life. I can tell you exact instances that changed me to become the person who I am today. These moments may have seemed positive or negative at the time, but honestly they were just meant to be. I believe in God. I also believe all things happen for a reason, but I believe that specific certain things are destined to be. It is really interesting to look back and see how people seemingly popped into my life out of nowhere. How they have become an integral part of my everyday life. They changed my course, my barring. As a abuse survivors, we often question why did that have to happen, or what could have I done differently to change it. In my humble opinion, I had to happen. It made me who I am today, so in my mind it wasn't negative. It was meant to be. It actually makes it much easier to deal with. The beauty of kismet is what it does for me in looking forward. When I'm down, when I'm depressed, when I think things will never get better, I look down at my arm tattoo and remember kismet. I am reminded that I never know what's around the corner and that there are things and people that will be coming into my life and that there is more in my future. I say that that events aren't positive or negative, but I believe that God has only good plans for me. So even if the events are viewed as negative, they are there to serve a higher purpose even if I can't see it at the moment. Kismet also makes me excited! There is a whole life ahead of me and I can't wait to see what happens! I can't wait to meet these people that will define my life. I can't wait to see what exciting moments there will be.
If you are struggling, look back from where you came. Think about the moments of kismet in your life. The moments who defined who you are. Know that there will be more of these moments and people in your future and look forward to them coming. Because they will come. Just have faith that your life is meant to be good even in your darkest hour.

The Shock of the Fall
Nathan Filer
(cover art by Shutterstock.com)
Borough Press 2013
I'll tell you what happened because it will be a good way to introduce my brother. His name's Simon. I think you're going to like him. I really do. But in a couple of pages he'll be dead. And he was never the same after that.
Usually, I have a weakness for books dealing with mental illness in any form. This one however, somehow didn't grasp me. It was a fun read, but to me, nothing special.
The writing itself was quite interesting. The story was told from a first person perspective, going back and forth between different times in the past as well as the present. Because there were different times in the past, it wasn't always easy to figure out when something had happened and weather this was in fact in the past, or perhaps the present. I didn't find this an issue in the beginning, but as the book continued, this started playing up more and more, which made it hard to focus on the story.
I appreciate that the book is about mental illness and a difficult one at that: a schizophrenia-type disorder (I don't think the official diagnosis is given anywhere). Unfortunately, many writers leave out one of the most prominent aspects of this disorder: the negative symptoms; withdrawal from people. These symptoms are very hard to eliminate, even after the voices/delusions have gone. Missing out on this happened in this book as well. Besides hearing voices everything seems just dandy; which is not realistic.
It's hard to connect to the main character in this book, everything seems quite shallow, staying close to the surface, without every plunging in. The only moments I could get a glimpse into anything more emotional was when Nanny Noo was around.
Conclusion: for me this was an okay read, but it wasn't anything special.

I've had a bit of a problem with the challenge the past few days. Almost a week ago now, I woke up ten times more tired than I was when I went to bed the night before despite plenty of sleep. It's been the same every day since.
For the whole past week I've had issues with nausea, extreme fatigue, and a sense of smell that's completely out of whack. And before anyone starts thinking I'm expecting again, I'm not. It took a couple of days for it to become evident, but I have a whopper of a sinus infection is all.
I'm treating it as best as I can with plenty of fluids, judicious use of a neti pot, and antihistamines. Still though, I can't quite find enough pep to handle my usual workouts. I have been keeping up with the big glass of water first thing and my daily Bible reading though, so that's something.
It's extremely frustrating though. Right now I'm supposed to be finishing up the final rewrites for Right of Succession and blending the new fragrances to be debuted at the end of April through early June. Plus, I have my own bookkeeping as well as some freelance work to do. I'm so sleepy I'm afraid to even try though given my tendency to invert numbers when tired.
I keep staring at my notes, trying to make some headway with Right of Succession, but I can't seem to get my brain off neutral and into gear. I can't even make sense of my notes on how it's to be restructured at the moment.
Blending fragrances is something I can usually handle even when tired. When my sense of smell is all messed up is another matter altogether. Lately rain has smelled of mothballs, a brand new jar of peanut butter of mold, brownies of spaghetti, and caramel coffee creamer of cotton candy. As you might imagine, I don't trust myself with making anything new until the infection heals and my sense of smell goes back to normal. I'm kind of scared to open the fragrance oils for that matter. If I can't get past the smell of most foods to even try to eat, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to handle concentrated fragrances, no matter how good they usually smell.
Thankfully I have managed to get a few of the products I made a couple of weeks back listed on the store front, finally. So at least I've managed to be productive there as well as crocheting a bit.

McLean Hospital 115 Mill Street Belmont, MA 02478
Phone: 800.333.0338
The McLean Imaging Center (MIC) is one of the premier imaging sites in the world, offering a rare blend of diagnostic services, cutting edge research, and high-quality educational programs in a relatively small hospital setting.
Call 617.855.3385 for more information.
The MIC offers advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic scanning. We have three complete physical examination rooms that are also equipped for phlebotomy (blood draws), if needed. In addition, private dressing rooms are available for all patients.
Our research and clinical programs focus on a variety of conditions, including—but not limited to—mood and anxiety disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, personality disorders, developmental disorders (e.g., autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).
MRI provides valuable information that may not be available with other methods. MR images give exquisite detail of soft tissue structures such as the brain and spinal cord, as well as ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones in the skeletal system. Internal organs are also very well visualized. Changes in any tissue structure can reveal the source of a problem. A primary care doctor or a specialist will determine if an individual needs an MRI. He or she may choose an MRI as a way to better understand the nature of a medical or psychiatric problem.
Located on the hospital's Belmont, Massachusetts campus, our experienced staff provides a multidisciplinary approach to clinical care. Additionally, because we are affiliated with a world-class research center, we offer a number of state of the art ancillary services that may facilitate diagnosis or help track treatment responses.
Brain imaging is revolutionizing medical and scientific research. At the MIC, brain imaging tools and techniques are key to investigating the causes and development of drug and alcohol addiction and mental illness, as well as study of other psychiatric diagnoses. MR images show how a disease or injury affects each individual, allowing tailored treatment and facilitating scientific discovery. Imaging tools and techniques help us understand the structures affecting or causing these disorders and develop new treatments—the primary focus of our research.
The increasing power and potential of MRI is a breakthrough that is equivalent to the development of microscopes in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which revolutionized the life sciences.

My good friend Jenna first introduced me to this recipe. I couldn't believe she had actually made bacon better. It's pretty simple, a little messy though, but well worth it. Great next to some cheesy grits or on a BLT, or all by it's self (as I ate it).
Sweet and Spicy Bacon
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a shallow dish, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Dredge the bacon slices in the brown sugar mixture, or sprinkle over the bacon if you want it to be less sweet, and arrange the bacon on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

Our Weird World: Eyes Aglow in the Darkness
Glowing eyes piercing through the dim haze of a foggy night….
Is is paranormal activity, or is the explanaton even stranger?
Urban legends can begin as truth or nightmare. They may either grow from an actual occurrence and become more nightmarish, or begin themselves as nightmares made up to scare friends or explain away impropriety. Regardless of their origin, the most memorable stories make deep roots and stick around until they become an ingrained part of our culture, a source of paranoia about government activity or the guarded glances you cast over your shoulder on a night-darkened street.
They are fuel for our imaginations. But what if everything you ever heard about the Mothman was true…in a way?
The story of the Mothman is arguably one of the most famous tales to come from the state of West Virginia, and its details are simple. The story begins in 1966, in a graveyard. The harsh truth of life is that sometimes, there are graves to be dug, and someone has to dig them. This particular grave was being worked on by five people who were much surprised to see a giant man lift off and fly away. It most definitely was not the last time that anyone would see the Mothman, and for the next year, more sightings would come, all centered around the town of Point Pleasant.
They were always much the same. A large winged humanoid flying through the night sky, eyes aglow, often red, and terrifying. Some dismissed it as a bird, while others embraced it as a sign of something supernatural, or alien.
The sightings ended, apparently, when the Silver Bridge collapsed a little over a year after the first time the Mothman made his appearance. It was December 15, 1967, and a total of 46 people died. After that, no one said much more about the Mothman, for good reason. John Keel wrote a book about it, 1975's The Mothman Prophecies. A connection was established between the bridge's collapse and the appearance of this creature. Perhaps he was a warning?
Another famous figure with glowing eyes is Spring-heeled Jack. Jack first appeared in London in 1837, amid already existing stories of street hauntings there. The first time he showed up, he jumped out of an alley and attacked a girl by the name of Mary Stevens. The next time, he ran in front of a carriage, caused it to crash, and jumped away, over a wall, laughing. He was said to have claws, the jumping gave him his nickname, and later accounts would give him glowing red eyes.
Though he is linked so firmly with England, Spring Heeled Jack has been spotted in New Mexico. Some versions of him breathe fire, and he still attacks people, and still jumps away, scaling seemingly impossible heights very quickly.
He was last seen in 2012.
The last on our list of strange-eyed folk are the Loveland Frogmen. It was the middle of the night, summer 1955. The person who first saw the creatures is to this day unknown. As the story goes, he was driving along this particularly dark stretch of road when he saw, off to the side, a few creatures, roughly 3 or 4 feet tall, standing. Watching. The creatures are described as having skin like a frog, big eyes, wide faces, and, instead of hair, scalp wrinkles. I imagine they must have looked eerie, because a human's eyes don't reflect light like an animal's.
So who were these guys? The Mothman, Spring-heeled Jack, and the Frogmen? Just stories, embellishments on real people with a little shared nightmare thrown in?
The eyes are the key.
Might they have something to do with the mysterious Moon-eyed people? This group was said to see better at night. It might follow, then, that their eyes were reflective.
We still have no idea where they might have come from.
But the Mothman, Spring-heeled Jack, and the Frogmen might have an origin even odder than any of us can imagine.

THE INNER PROMPTING that caused me to put together 'The Goodnight Book' originated in part as a result of two major hospital operations that I was required to undergo, together with the passing of my wife Liz – all in the space of about fifteen months. In much of that time I had little inclination or energy for serious reading. But 'thoughts' were coming at me from a lifetime of Scripture reading, and these were enough to keep my spirit alive until such time as my appetite grew again – and my desire to write once more was renewed.
It is not that 'The Goodnight Book' is geared especially to those enduring ill health or sorrow. Whoever you are, the approach of evening brings to every man and woman at the end of the day an opportunity for review, and for regrouping – and that is the aim of the book's nightly readings.
At one point I rang my publisher, William Mackenzie of Christian Focus Publishing: "I've done a hundred and twenty-three of these one-page chapters," I reported, "How many more would you like?"
"Stop!" he ordered. And that was it.
If this book helps you along yourself, consider sending it to a friend for birthday or for Christmas. It may be a useful stocking-filler!
I would be so pleased. It will be on the Christian Focus website: www.christianfocus.com

In a recently published book called Driving Honda, the author makes the case that Honda is one of the most innovative companies in the world. That innovation has certainly played out in the financial results of the company in that it has never posted a loss in its history. Honda's operating profit ratios of about 5% consistently top the industry. Its stock price has just about doubled since September, 2008 when the economy crashed. Most impressive is that 75% of its cars and trucks sold in the last 25 years are still on the road.
Bob's Gutsy Leadership Blog
Archive for August, 2014
In a recent interview with the CEO of the company, he discussed the company's "protect and attack" strategy. The protect part consists of defending and rapidly expanding its core market in PC's and the attack part has to do with preparing for a world dominated by mobile and the cloud. Regarding mobile, the plan is for the Motorola acquisition to assist Lenovo in moving from being the number two smartphone player in China and the number four worldwide into a more dominant position.
I am sure you have met people where it didn't take long before you realized they are highly competitive. They hate to lose; but if they do, they want to play more to prove to themselves that they can prevail.
It is rather amazing to see so many successful companies stare at new ideas, do nothing, and get run over. The classic large-scale examples are Kodak and digital photography, Nokia and smartphones, and Blockbuster and DVD's by mail and then movies via streaming.

A 29-year-old Northern Westchester woman faces a felony DWI charge following a traffic stop in Putnam County.
Putnam Sheriffs Deputy Kevin Osika recently observed a driver commit a traffic infraction on Route 6 in Carmel. Osika pulled the vehicle over and discovered that the driver, Jessica Santoro of Shrub Oak was intoxicated, said Capt. William McNamara.
Due to a previous New York State DWI conviction in 2015, Santoro was charged with a felony DWI count, McNamara said.
She was booked at the Sheriff's Office and arraigned in The Town of Patterson Justice Court. The judge remanded Satoro to the Putnam County Correctional Facility in lieu of $500 bail, which was posted later that day to secure her release pending further action in the Town of Carmel Justice Court.

Gurit`s Composite Materials Business achieved mixed results in its various market areas.

The Marine superyacht and leisure markets showed growth. Material sales to the Middle Eastern construction industry continued to be affected by the political and financial situation in the region. In total, net sales in the Composite Materials Business decreased by 7.2% (currency-adjusted: -7.0%) year-on-year from CHF 265.6 million in 2016 to CHF 246.4 million in 2017 as a direct consequence of aforementioned market conditions in India, Middle East and China. Gurit expects the market situation in India and the Middle East to improve in 2018.Gurit`s Composite Components Business reported net sales of CHF 22.3 million in 2017 compared to net sales of CHF 17.4 million in 2016.

A fire can cause a significant amount of damage to your property and while getting everyone to safety is your top priority, you may also wonder how you are going to fix the damage. Aside from the damage that is caused by the flames, the soot and smoke can also lead to damage that keeps spreading after the fire is out. Burnt synthetic materials tend to leave behind a lot of residue and before long, soot settles on the surfaces and features of the property which leads to tarnishing and etching of the affected items. The odors that the smoke produces spread throughout the indoor spaces and get absorbed into the furnishings and building materials.
ServiceMaster Restoration Services provides quick and efficient smoke damage restoration in Omaha, NE to both residential and commercial customers. Our team includes experienced technicians that work methodically to remove the etching and tarnishing caused by the soot and smoke.
The Impact of Corrosive Byproducts and Soot
Most homes and offices have a lot of synthetic materials including furniture and flooring. When these materials get burnt in a fire, they leave behind a residue that continues to stay active long after the flames have been extinguished. It takes no more than 72 hours for surfaces to get permanently affected by the corrosive properties of these byproducts as well as soot from the smoke.
The one way to stop this development is to call for professional smoke damage restoration without delay. We can restore features such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass and porcelain as well as furniture and carpeting affected by corrosive byproducts.
Smoke Damage Restoration in Omaha, NE
What makes matters worse is the fact that the damage caused by the smoke isn't always evident. The odor of the smoke finds its way into elements such as upholstery, carpeting, drywall and wood. Our technicians are highly trained and use the latest equipment and techniques such as ozone & hydroxyl technology, to ensure that no traces of smoke odor linger on your property. We also use specialized methods to make sure that your home or commercial property continues to stay that way even after the smoke damage restoration work is completed by our technicians.
If your home or building in Omaha, NE has been affected by a fire, call ServiceMaster Restoration Services without delay. We are ready to respond 24/7 and will quickly send our technicians to assess the damage and provide the best-suited solutions.
Emergency Response
You can call us anytime at (402) 973-3858 for expert smoke damage restoration in Omaha, NE.

Not a lot has happened around here since I last posted. We did take a day trip to the beach in December.
Betty really enjoyed the water. She was so funny...she kept trying to bite the waves and couldn't understand why they kept going away from her.
I did manage to do a little Christmas sewing. I made several of these little birds and finished them as ornaments for gifts.
Most recently I finished this sofa size quilt for an auction for a local Boxer rescue group. I am hoping it raises lots of money for the rescue. There is a Boxer face quilted in one of the corner squares and paw prints in the others.
That just about catches me up for now. I plan to post at least one update a month to try to ease myself back into blogging after having been gone so long.
I also plan to get back to visiting your blogs...I miss you guys! I do visit when I have a spare moment or two but haven't been very good at leaving comments. Shame on me.
I'll be back soon to show you my latest stitching. I haven't been able to stitch as much because of my elbow but I did start something new. :o) Just when I think it has healed it flares up again and I have to stop using it until the pain subsides.
I hope you all had a great start to 2015! Thank you for continuing to visit even thought I have been absent for a while. I really appreciate your comments and encouragement.

Dogs are so funny to watch at the beach!! LOL. You've done some lovely work lately. And I couldn't agree more - how can January already be over?

So sorry to hear that your elbow is acting up again and getting in the way of your stitching. Hopefully it will be over rather soon.
You have finished a very lovely quilt. And these little birdies are just so sweet. These bells will make wonderful Christmas gifts. I wish I'd be that early too. Sigh.

YAY!!! You're back :) We all missed you so much, Myra! I am thrilled to see what you've been up to and just treasure the little bird you made for me at Christmas time... I'm sure that the dog quilt will bring a nice price at the fundraiser--it is just darling :)
How nice that you and Betty got to get away to the beach for a day--it looks so beautiful there with that bright blue sky! She sure is a pretty pup--and so "in shape"--just look at those muscles :)
I really hope the elbow pain disappears for good very soon, Myra!

So wonderful to see a post from you! Such fun to hear how Betty enjoyed her visit to the beach : ) Those birds are wonderful! Mine will have a treasured spot on my tree until Jesus comes to get me ... & then He will probably tell me to bring my bird from Myra along with me : ) Those bells are really pretty too & that boxer quilt is too cool : ) Do take care of that elbow! I continue to keep you in my prayers.

Betty is charming, as well as your stitches, Myra. I guess she likes the water and the beach. My Lilac has a strong fear of water. I can't take him to any lake or a water place.

In addition to his passion for cars, Don Crevier, the man behind Crevier BMW/Mini, is known for being a tireless advocate for underserved youth. About two decades ago, Crevier sat on the Board of Directors for Career Beginnings, a mentoring program for high school youth in Santa Ana. He wanted to expand his mentoring of youth, and a fellow Career Beginnings Board Member recommended that he look into The Wooden Floor, then known as Saint Joseph Ballet. He attended an Annual Concert performance, and that one evening launched twenty years of relentless, loving support from Crevier as a Dance Partner with The Wooden Floor.
"I like the mentorship the program provides," Crevier explains, when asked why the Dance Partner program has been rewarding to him for so many years. Dance Partners enjoy a guided one-on-one relationship with a student at The Wooden Floor, allowing Partners to witness the personal growth their support makes possible. Crevier has also become a steadfast supporter of The Wooden Floor's Annual Concert, which is the culmination of year-round programs that encourage creativity, subjectivity, and expression of self, resulting in positive change, including increased self-discipline and commitment. "I love the whole idea of bringing such a high level of art to these students. They gain self confidence, and it helps them think a little bigger than from where they started."
Another facet of Crevier's support is how he has encouraged others to get involved at The Wooden Floor. "We encourage everyone at Crevier BMW/Mini to try to take an interest in organizations that can offer help to people who face challenges. We have a dedicated group of people within this company that have offered their time and their influence to many organizations. We love to help people with their automotive needs. The more fun we have with that, the more we can help non-profits like The Wooden Floor."

I was once invited to preach in a church on the Sunday the church honored the women in the congregation. When I arrived, I was given a beautiful corsage. After the service, I was presented with a dozen red roses & then escorted o the Fellowship Hall for a luncheon prepared by the women. The members of the committee in charge took me over to the buffet line, pointing out all the delicious food. When I go to the end of the table, I reached for a plate, eager to enjoy all that food. "No, no, Pastor," one of the women told me, " we'll fix a plate for you!" She then called someone over, telling her to "fix Pastor a plate!" The woman was tickled pink to have the honor of preparing my lunch for me.
I was then escorted to a table & as I waited for my food, every woman I. The church came over to have her photo taken with me! Lunch was delicious & when I finished my main meal, another woman was called over & asked to bring me dessert. My coffee cup was never empty & I thought I would have to be ROLLED out of the hall after lunch. On my way home in the car, I remember thinking I could easily get used to that treatment! Perhaps I needed to rethink my Call (or lack of one) to pastor a church!
Pastors work hard & preaching takes a lot out of you. I think it's great when church members take care of their pastor, doing things for her. The shepherd needs tending too! However, as I learned in the story above, pampering & attention can become addictive. It can be easy to come to expect special treatment as a pastor, something we must try hard to avoid.
Look again, or perhaps for a first time, at the verse in the graphic above. I love the statement Jesus made. "I, the Son of Man, the Son of God, did NOT come to be served but to serve." The Lord wanted to make it clear that even HE didn't expect special treatment. HE didn't want people waiting on Him, doing favors for Him. NO! Instead, He came to serve others.
This was such a radical idea! First, that someone like Jesus was willing to serve others. The Temple priests sure didn't spend their time serving others. They wanted to be served. Plus, this was a society where WOMEN served others, not men. Finally, this wasn't a society where people took care of one another. They might help out their family & a neighbor occasionally but the thought of ongoing service to others in the community was unheard of! Yet Jesus was saying that this was exactly why He came. To serve others.
Jesus set an example that continued in the early church & through the years to today. Unfortunately, we, as Christians have lost our dedication to service, our passion to help others. We may do it as the fancy strikes, at Christmas for example but many of us have gotten comfortable letting someone else take care of it. For many of us, we just don't know how we can help, where to begin, how to serve.
In 2017, I want to help you understand our need, our innate need as Christians, to serve one another as Christ served & still serves us. I plan to help you identify the gifts & talents you have to offer, help you develop them & discover ways you can use those abilities to serve the church & community. Jesus told us the harvest is great but the laborers are few. Let's all work together to serve one another, to serve everyone as Jesus serves us. It is the least, the very least we can do.

Freedman, Judith (2009) Reforming the Business Tax System: Does Size Matter? Fundamental Issues in Small Business Taxation. In: Krever, Richard and Evans, Chris, (eds.) Australian Business Tax Reform in Retrospect and Prospect. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia/ Thomson Reuters Professional, pp. 153-178.Full text not available from this repository.
Tax systems are generally not designed so much as developed over the years in an incremental way. The review of Australia's future tax system currently under discussion under the chairmanship of Dr Ken Henry (the Henry Review) offers an opportunity to look at the system holistically and to examine fundamentals. Rather than designing a tax system that suits large business and then considering carve outs and concessions for small firms, such a review needs to think about small businesses as part of the initial design of the whole system. The 'think small first principle' that requires policy-makers to take into account the needs of small businesses at an early stage of policy making is now widely accepted. In the Mirrlees Review undertaken by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, small businesses were dealt with in a special study (of which the current author is a co-author), but, as is apparent from some of the key chapters on corporation tax and international issues, it was recognised by those working on corporation tax more generally that there is a need to deal with the structural issues of small business taxation as part of the fundamental design of the system and not simply as an add on or a carve out.
How small businesses should be tackled within tax system design depends very much on the objectives of the design overall. Much of the discussion in the chapter written for the Mirrlees Review and in this paper arises from developments and pressures within Europe. It will be for Dr Henry, his team and those whom they consult to determine the extent to which these pressures and movements are relevant to Australia. Thus, this paper does not presume to make proposals for Australia but is offered as a contribution to the debate.

Camelbak Antidote Reservoir 100 oz
I bought this reservoir specifically for use in my Osprey Ariel 65 pack, but I did run into a few problems. Because my sleeping bag was so big (recently fixed that problem with a more compressible down bag), the designated space in the back of the pack was inhibited towards the bottom. Therefore, when I filled the reservoir, I couldn't get it fully secured and clipped inside. I decided to take my smaller reservoir (70oz) which fit much better and worked out great with my pack. I also had a problem with the 100oz reservoir leaking from the mouthpiece. My husband later told me it was leaking because I neglected to put it in the off position, but I'm not so sure. I will definitely continue to use the Camelbak reservoirs as I have several already, but make sure you check that it fits your pack.

Multimedia Exchange Network over Satellite
• MENOS Brochures & Technical Information
• Joining the MENOS Exchange Network
MENOS Key Features
MENOS is a revolutionary networking concept used to exchange multimedia content over satellite. It is intended primarily for professional broadcasters, allowing them to share video and audio material among several sites scattered across a large geographical area. It has been designed to provide these broadcasters not only with the fastest and most cost-effective technologies to perform the media exchange, but also with a complete range of tools to facilitate the related coordination tasks and improve people collaboration across the network.
In traditional satellite contribution systems, television and radio material is exchanged as real-time transmissions from one ground station to another. This requires the reservation of a satellite segment for a fixed time duration, a manual line-up procedure, and expensive uplink equipment. At the receive site, the transferred material needs to be used on the fly or recorded. The coordination between the two stations, or between the stations and the Network Operating Center, must typically be done via terrestrial or mobile telephony.
MENOS is fundamentally different: with IP as the core-protocol, all exchanged material transmits through a central hub station, which also provides permanent two-way satellite IP connectivity among all remote stations. The multimedia content can be transmitted in real-time or be transferred as data files. It can also be retained in the central hub station for archiving and later access by other stations. The reservation of the bandwidth and the line-up procedure are automatic and the uplink stations are smaller and much less expensive than traditional systems. The two-way IP connectivity is ideal for VoIP coordination channels, e-mail exchange, Intranet and Internet access and other collaboration tools.
MENOS is also unique in the way it uses the satellite capacity. Advanced DVB-S2 modulation technology, combined with the statistical multiplexing of the data, voice, television and radio signals, ensures the optimum efficiency of the bandwidth usage and thus reduces operational costs.
MENOS Key Services
Worldwide Content Availability
Worldwide network interconnectivity allows the best quality content to be made available to all participating users. Adding new broadcast distribution networks will only be successful if there is compelling content
Intuitive, Easy to Use Booking System
Whether you need to book single events or schedule regular program exchanges, the interface has been proven to be easy to understand & use. Everything is automated too, so you don't need technical specialists around to help. All users have integrated VoIP coordination channels built into the terminals
Live TV & Radio Contribution/Exchange
Occasional video contribution links can be booked for news, sports & live events. Content ingested into the network can be received by all users, regardless of the origin of the content with automatic adaptation to regions with high rain-fading
Store/Forward File Based TV & Radio Contribution/Exchange
Files based news stories & production content can be transferred, supporting alternative broadcaster workflows. File transfer transmission allows different ways of transmitting TV and Radio content using best-effort or night capacity at better prices
Local & Central Archiving of TV/Radio Content
Re-transmission of the content can be requested if live sessions were missed. The archived content is fully classified with metadata to search & find what you need
Hosted Dedicated "Virtual Network" Services
Dedicated resources of the platform can be offered as a hosted "virtual network" (VN), enabling full services without the investment & operational costs of a separate platform. This provides very attractive "grow on demand" strategies for network deployment
Affordable Terminals & Usage Costs
The cost-effective terminals are offered in different configurations, depending on needs: Fixed TV or Radio terminals, SNG TV trucks/vans and Flyaway terminals for Fast News Gathering. All the services use shared satellite resources, which lowers the cost per usage, compared to traditional satellite networks. The billing is integrated & automated too
Live Fast News Gathering Contribution/Exchange
Occasional low quality video contribution links can be booked for fast news gathering services. Fast News gathering content is transmitted with fly-away terminals transportable and deployable in minutes, anywhere in the MENOS coverage area.
Distance Learning / Distance Training
A number of specific distance learning scenarios are especially suitable for the MENOS system.
Connectivity from/to everywhere without previous infrastructure
Install a MENOS terminal and get connected everywhere in the MENOS network. Remote locations, remote schools, universities, hospitals, distribution towers can be connected for different services using MENOS terminals.
MENOS Key Advantages
Easy-to-use terminals
Once installed, MENOS terminals are connected to the network in an always-on mode. All network services and terminal features are available on a single graphical user interface. Starting a video or audio transmission requires no line-up procedure as the bandwidth reservation is done automatically.
Lower terminal cost
Because all communications are established via a central hub , MENOS terminals require much less power and smaller dishes than point-to-point media exchange systems. The transmission equipment in the terminal is IP-based, resulting in an overall terminal cost that is only a fraction of the cost of other types of satellite TV or radio uplinks.
Higher flexibility
In a MENOS system, the bandwidth is negotiated dynamically or reserved automatically depending on the requested speed of delivery and the nature of the exchanged material. The multimedia material can be stored anywhere in the network, including in a central archiving system where it can be previewed and accessed by any other remote station via another satellite transmission.
Lower operational costs
By using the most advanced satellite transmission technologies such as DVB-S2 and by sharing dynamically the available bandwidth among various applications, MENOS reduces the costs linked to the space segment. On the ground, operational costs are also kept to a minimum thanks to the ease of use of the terminals and the automation of the network management. The integrated billing & reporting system automatically collects and formats billing and accounting data according to specific business rules.
MENOS Industry Recognition
MENOS has received multiple industry awards:
• IBC2009, Amsterdam
- Winner: Judges Award
- Winner: Innovation Award – Content Delivery
• Cabsat 2010, Dubai
- Winner: Most innovative project of the year

When Mercury goes retrograde there are problems with communication and travel. You might feel under pressure since communication tends to break down and technology becomes unpredictable. When signing contracts make sure you read that small print, or why not postpone entering legalagreements until after September 4th all together, if you can.
In all this we have the great Solar Eclipse coming up August 21st. Between now and then your life will change radically, you might not even recognize yourself anymore. The world might altogether look like another planet, or as if everything has gotten worse than ever before. But this is nothing else than a purging by fire experience and it is burning everything away what is not in alignment with your path anymore. Hey you are given a second chance to do it one more time, but this time in a much better way. But take note, it's going to be fast and furious, you might even blow a fuse or two during this time. Remember though, truth hurts a bit in the moment when you have to hear it but the lie creates a lifelong prison. If you have to say the truth to someone, touch your heart (left or right hand doesn't matter) this will soften the harshness in the energy of the words and you can still remain friends. After all that's what friends are for, telling the truth so that we can all move on through the Portal to the next level. Hold on to your hats dear crypto friends and see you on the other side.
