I promise I haven't dropped off the planet. I feel like I have though. I haven't blogged since Thursday and I have over 400 posts to read in google reader. I feel like I've been going non stop since Thursday afternoon. Chris and I went with some boy scouts camping in Damascus, VA. He is a scout master. They have a big festival there called Trail days. They've been the past 6 years. This was my second time to go. Last year we had awful weather. We ride the Virginia Creeper trail while there. I hadn't biked in a long time when we went last year and I fell a lot. But this year, I did a lot better and we had great weather. It was a really fun trip. As soon as we got back, we showered and headed to our niece Kaley's first birthday party. She was such a cutie and it was great party. Today was field day at school. We have to walk to a park to get there. It's a pretty good walk up hill on a pretty busy road. But we made it. It was a good day. I'm completely worn out though. I'm smelly, sunburned and still sore from bike riding and walking up the hill. Plus my house is a wreck and I need to buy groceries. Enough whining. It's just that time of the year.
Tomorrow night is our Kindergarten graduation program. We're doing a tribute to Dr. Jean. Our line up is as follows:
We're walking in to Going on a Bear Hunt.
Pizza Hut - environmental print
Who let the letters out?
Macarana Math - counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s
5 Little Monkeys
Banana dance
May there always be sunshine.
It's going to be really cute. We need to finish up our paper plate graduation faces so we can get those up as well. I was talking to some other teachers at schools in the county and they've done away with kindergarten graduation. What does your school do?

Unfortunately our school district in coastal SC does not have a kindergarten graduation. I wish we still did. My mom said it was the best part of kindergarten to her.

Talk:CH391L/S13/Algal Biofuels
From OpenWetWare
- Kevin Baldridge 16:49, 18 March 2013 (EDT):What are you referring to with "photosynthetic efficiency"? You say sugarcane is the best, but algae actually have more energy per mass. So what is the final product which you are comparing, simple sugars which can be converted to alcoholic biofuels?
- Catherine I. Mortensen 16:57, 18 March 2013 (EDT): Is it possible to somehow use chlorella that already exists in the ocean to produce fuel?

Should We Really 'Run To Eat'?
"Will run for beer"
Ever hear this saying or something similar before?
I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Particularly, how I don't agree with it.
You see, I began exercising on the regular when I set out to lose 30 lbs four years ago. I counted calories to lose weight, so for a long time exercise was purely a way to burn calories. It gave me a little more wiggle room in my daily calorie allotment and made it so I didn't lose my mind restricting food in order to shed a few pounds.
As the days went on, I fell more and more in love with exercise. I eventually started doing it because I like it, and not just as a way to lose weight. As I transitioned into weight loss maintenance, exercise not only became my most loved hobby, but also a way to splurge on some of my most favourite treats. Run 6 miles? Awesome, now I get to have dessert today. All without putting on a pound.
But now that I'm a little more separated from the situation, I wonder – is it healthy to use exercise as a justification to eat?
If you were to ask me today, my response would sway towards "no."
Food and exercise are two very different things and serve two very different purposes. But mostly, I think by creating a relationship between the two, one is setting themselves up to have an unhealthy relationship with both.
I have gained at least 10 lbs since beginning chemotherapy, for a number of reasons. I'm not as active as I used to be (read: no 6 milers here), my eating habits have changed (read: digesting a big salad on chemo is tummy torture) and my most favourite excuse – I'm on steroids, I can't help it! (same goes with the occasional 'roid rage)
If I weren't sick and gained 10 lbs I would immediately turn to exercise to start burning it off. Except this time around I really don't care about the extra weight. Apart from the frustration of having jeans that don't fit, I've got bigger fish to fry. Like a life threatening illness. Suddenly, the idea of vanity weight goes out the window.
With that said, I do still mildly exercise every day. But this time it's not to lose weight or to keep it off. This time it's for a different reason altogether. I now realize it's the reason why I should have been exercising all along. For my health. Study after study shows that cancer patients have a higher rate of survival with exercise. When I hop on the recumbent bike, it's not with the idea of burning off the ice cream I ate earlier, or for some notion of vanity. It's for my health, my real health, and my longevity.
When I'm all better and back at the gym, I won't reward myself with a beer after because I've got the extra calories to do it. I'll drink beer whenever I want and exercise because it's good for me.
Today is chemo day – treatment #6. I'm halfway through!
Protein Waffles & Protein Cakes
So happy so many of you are on board for Fatty February! Emily, my partner in crime on this one, wrote a post on the positive effects of dietary fats on hormones. Go read it!
I also got some great suggestions for extra sources of fat: coconut, hummus, flax oil, fish oil supplements and low or full fat dairy (like yogurt). Today mayonnaise magically occurred to me. Leah also suggested Mexican food, which made me laugh. She'd know though – her doctor put her on a 100g of fat a day diet!
I also got some helpful comments about my skin. Some people noted it could be related to food allergies (although, I have been tested for gluten and lactose allergies and I'm clear there) and sleep! Hmm… verrrrry interesting you guys. I will keep you updated on how all of this goes. And yes mom, I am putting the calamine cream on it every night :)
Okay! It's Wednesday! Which means it's time for some obligatory Waffle Wednesday waffle porn!
Oooh, I love it when butter melts on waffles and creates little pools. I used just a tsp and for 35 extra calories I got a little fat and a lot of good taste!
I used my protein pancake recipe and added some frozen blueberries and ground flax. I maaaay have strategically planned today as my day off from the gym so I could make waffles ;)
Work eats:
Banana + Naturally More almond butter for my morning snack.
Ham, cheese and pickle sandwich with mustard & mayo. Baby carrots and sugar snap peas for some munching on the side.
Afternoon snack attack:
Yoplait Source muesli yogurt cup and roasted almonds. I'm not the biggest fan of flavoured yogurts, but I love these yogurt cups. They're almost a vice for me.
Dinner was quick n' easy – leftovers!
Spinach and Ham Ricotta Pie with some steamed brussels sprouts and broccoli on the side. Once again, my eyes were larger than my stomach and I served myself too much. I ended up not eating one of those pieces of pie. I always overload my plate, then feel like I have to finish it all off. Not a good combo to have!
Now, the real blogworthy event here. One of the best evening snacks I've had in a while.
Sweet potato spiced protein cake.
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp splenda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- dash pumpkin spice
- 2 tbsp sweet potato
pureebaby food - 2 tbsp egg whites
- 1 tbsp raisins
All stirred up in a mug and nuked for 90 seconds in the microwave. The "icing" is just 1 tbsp peanut butter whisked with a teeeeny bit of almond milk and vanilla extract to fluff it up a little.
Oh. Em. Gee. This was uh-mazing. First, the texture!! It was the best texture I've achieved with a protein cake yet. I think it's because I doubled the protein powder,which made it more "cake-y" and less "sponge-y." And how can anything doused in cinnamon and peanut butter not be delicious? Exactly :)
Today's fat intake: 54g, or 31% of macronutrients. Don't worry, I won't be pointing this out everyday. I've just been counting my calories these past few days so it's easy to grab the info!
Yes, I am counting calories. I am still incredibly unhappy with my weight gain, as I touched upon in this post. A weight gain that I blame on goodies such as those seen in this post. I've confirmed the extra belly pudge by taking my measurements, so my eyes aren't just deceiving me when I look in the mirror. 'Tis the tale of maintaining weight loss – it's always going up and down and never staying the same. Thankfully, it's at least no longer going up ;)
Oh, and for those of you that are interested, I tried out Spark People and didn't care for it. So I went back to ole faithful The Daily Plate/Livestrong. They have a "New MyPlate" option for tracking which I lovelovelove. Much easier.
Okay bloggie friends, that wraps it up for tonight. See ya tomorrow for some more fat, a cardio sesh, and a more serious topic that I think many of you will be able to relate with. See ya then!
Time to Get Serious
Thanks again for all the bee-day wishes! I had a wonderful day yesterday. Now I'm just preparing myself for a very busy week ahead at work!! I have a few more 10+ hour work days ahead of me :\
I did at least continue the celebration for breakfast.
- 1 packet multi grain instant oats
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 sliced banana
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (it's national PB day after all!)
- mini marshmallows
- sprinkles!! Just for you Deb ;)
And then I had a piece of beet cake as my pre-workout snack. Totally powdered me through a tough one!

L-O-V-E-D this. Will definitely be added to my new Fitness Page (which is still a major work in progress – lots of updates to come!).
I find long cardio workouts at the gym are a lot more fun when I only have to do 10-20 minutes on each machine. Makes it fly by! I also work at a higher intensity because I keep switching to different things. Definitely helped that my mommy came with me too :D However, at the end of the elliptical session, we saw someone fall off a treadmill!! Holy scary. If you ever feel like you're falling off a treadmill, just let yourself go. Trying to hold yourself on only worsens the situation :\
My tummy was yelling at me by the end of this workout, so I fed it right away.
Laughing cow, roast chicken, tuna, onion, tomato and romaine on a pita. They chicken/tuna combo was delicious!
Shortly afterward it was time to make the boring drive home. I kept awake by singing along to CDs at the top of my lungs. This song in particular got a few encores.
No groceries at home, luckily I had some goodies stashed in the freezer.
Ketchup with a side of turkey mini-meatloaves and butternut squash fries.
Liz – I let the fries sit with sea salt for a few minutes, then squeezed the moisture out a second time – totally worked!! Made for a much sturdier b-nut fry :D Thanks for the suggestion!!
Time to get Serious
Okay guys, I'm gonna be straight up with you. I'm still struggling to lose the few pounds I gained over Christmas. Not the end of the world. But, I'm a little bigger than my "happy weight." My snacking has been a little off the charts. I don't photograph everything I eat, and that includes the multiple handfuls of chocolate chips and cereal (among other things) I eat at night.
I've struggled a lot over these past two months to find an eating and exercise routine that worked through TWO job changes. Yes, I'm on my third job in less than two months. I've worked inconsistent hours at differing activity levels over the past eight weeks, it's messed with my body and food routine immensely. On the bright side, I'll be in a stable job for these next three months and I'll finally be able to get into a routine with it.
So what does this mean? No, I'm not making silly self-imposed rules. I'm not doing boot camp or giving up sugar (the horror!!). But, I will be counting calories again. Maybe not every single day, and not religiously. But I like the accountability it gives me with snacking. I know there's varying opinions on this, but I know what works for me :)
I also want to keep track of my foods so I can look at my day and see where I'm not eating whole, "clean" foods. I exercise tons, but I realize my body composition issues are diet related. I just need to polish it up a tad and I should be able to see and most importantly feel a difference.
Part of this is because my birthday is now behind me, so I have no more big "splurge" days on the horizon. The biggest part however, is that I'm going to be a personal trainer in three months, and I want to look the part. I don't expect to have the bod of Jillian Michaels. But I'd like to lose a little body fat and actually "bulk" my upper-body (my limbs are quite scrawny). The way I see it, you wouldn't get your hair cut by a hairstylist with bad hair, so why listen to a trainer with a pudgy tummy?
As always, I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing with this. There will still be marshmallows, just not every day ;) I feel best when I go back to basics with my food. And I want to start experimenting more with my exercise! I want to get a little more serious with my weight lifting, and try to incorporate more plyometrics. Hopefully there will be tons of new workouts popping up over the next several weeks :)
Question of the Day: Do you or have you worked with a personal trainer? What was your experience like? I've actually never worked with a trainer before. Mostly because I like learning the stuff myself and choosing what I want to do. But it will be interesting to job shadow with one in the coming months!

The heart and brain are certainly not the largest organs in the human body, but they are arguably the most important. Why? The heart, through a miles-long network of capillaries, keeps every part of the body supplied with nutrients, and the brain, through an equally extensive network of nerves, provides instructions to every part of the body about what to do with those nutrients. They are important not because they are big, but because they are connected to everything else. read more »
Urban Issues
Where's Next: November May Determine Regional Winners
As the recovery begins, albeit fitfully, where can we expect growth in jobs, incomes and, most importantly, middle class opportunities? In the US there are two emerging "new" economies, one largely promoted by the Administration and the other more grounded in longer-term market and demographic forces. read more »
The Suburbanization of Religious Diversity
You can see the changes.

What's Behind China's Big Traffic Jam
The world press has been fixated on the "Beijing" traffic jam that lasted for nearly two weeks. There is a potential lesson here for the United States, which is that if traffic is allowed to far exceed roadway capacity, unprecedented traffic jams can occur.
The Inner Mongolia Traffic Jam: First we need to understand that this was not a "Beijing" traffic jam at all,or even on the outskirts of Beijing. The traffic jam came no closer to Beijing than 150 miles (250 kilometers) away, beyond the border of the city/province of Beijing, through the province of Hebei and nearly to the border of Inner Mongolia. read more »
Australia 2010: Unstable Politics in a Prosperous Country
2010 has been something of an annus mirabilis in Australian politics. On 24 June a prime minister was dumped before facing the voters a second time. This was the first time ever for such an early exit. Then the election on 22 August produced a "hung parliament", an outcome not seen since the 1940s. Having fallen short of enough seats to form government, the major parties are scrambling for the support of four independents and one Green in the House of Representatives. read more »

Vancouver: Planner's Dream, Middle Class Nightmare
Vancouver is consistently rated among the most desirable places to live in the Economist's annual ranking of cities. In fact, this year it topped the list. Of course, it also topped another list. Vancouver was ranked as the city with the most unaffordable housing in the English speaking world by Demographia's annual survey. According to the survey criteria, housing prices in an affordable market should have an "median multiple" of no higher than 3.0 (meaning that median housing price should cost no more than 3 times the median annual gross household income). Vancouver came in at a staggering 9.3. The second most expensive major Canadian city, Toronto, has an index of only 5.2. Even legendarily unaffordable London and New York were significantly lower, coming in at 7.1 and 7.0 respectively. While there are many factors that make Vancouver a naturally expensive market, there are a number of land use regulations that contribute to the high housing costs. read more »

Our book was once listed on amazon.com, but due to the various hurdles David and I had to jump to get this baby done, that listing was soon a pipe-dream.
This time it's for real!
Click HERE to see the real thing!
As David said, "This is yet another marker for me that the book is a REAL thing, and will really be in print soon..." I second that emotion!
If the book isn't physically being printed, as I write this, it's either on the printer's queue (or, perhaps, already run off) in China. The street date is October 1st, but copies may surface before then, depending on when the book is printed and how long it takes copies to arrive, via the proverbial slow boat from China, to our consumer shores.
It's exciting news for us, and we're glad to share it here with you!

Hi all,
My experience with PHP is 'beginner' at best. I was looking into creating a simple(probably not) form that would gather a name, email address, description field, browse for an image, and submit. I want the result to be an email sent to a target address that displays the info prompted by the form, and the image file sent as an attachment despite its size.
IS THAT POSSIBLE? I found a few examples on the net that explains how to build an input field, but nothing really explains what happens to the file (or whatever) after you hit 'submit'.
Is there a way to define where its sent, like as an email attachment, or to a dedicated url on a server? How about making sure that the browsed file is an image file?
Need help.
John H.

Abstract | In this review I demonstrate that a realistic model for the formation of galaxy disks depends on a proper treatment of the gas in galaxies. Historically, cosmological simulations of disk galaxy formation have suffered from a lack of resolution and a physically motivated feedback prescription. Recent computational progress has allowed for unprecedented resolution, which in turn allows for a more realistic treatment of feedback. These advances have led to a new examination of gas accretion, evolution, and loss in the formation of galaxy disks. Here I highlight the role that gas inflows, the regulation of gas by feedback, and gas outflows play in achieving simulated disk galaxies that better match observational results as a function of redshift. |

Why Deeds Is Losing
Creigh Deeds, the Virginia state senator who is the Democratic candidate for governor in next month's election, has never gotten his act together. He ...
Creigh Deeds, the Virginia state senator who is the Democratic candidate for governor in next month's election, has never gotten his act together. He was the happy beneficiary of strife between his more liberal opponents in the primary but was then slow to get his general election campaign going.
He decided to attack his opponent, former state Attorney General Bob McDonnell, as an extremist, while at the same time seeking to position himself as a stalwart Democrat despite his conservative leanings on certain issues such as gun control.
McDonnell, who is a fairly conservative guy, has nonetheless run a very focused and disciplined campaign that has repeatedly made clear that his highest aspiration in life is nothing else but to create jobs for Virginians. Although Deeds has made much hay out of some of McDonnell's long-ago expressed social conservative views, McDonnell has mainly kept on trucking.
Deeds has managed to come off as mostly negative, while failing to convince his own party's more liberal voters that he truly speaks to or for them. The Washington Post, which endorsed Deeds a couple of days ago and whose coverage has seemed to me mainly to view the campaign from his point of view, nonetheless today printed a story that is a devastating portrayal of a candidate atop a messy campaign organization who is unable himself to connect with voters from the stump or one-on-one.
Deeds, who lost to McDonnell by a few hundred votes in the attorney general's race four years ago, will lose to him again by a much wider margin this time around. Republicans want this more than Democrats, who have been enjoying a major winning streak in Virginia in recent years.
That, too, is part of Deeds' problem, I think. But it's not the normal dynamic in which voters are simply ready for a change in party after a couple of terms. Gov. Tim Kaine and even more his predecessor Mark Warner, who is now in the U.S. Senate, governed as managers. They had a well-earned reputation, much commented on by Governing, for running tight ships -- bringing the state into the i nformation age, enacting sound budgets, remaining friendly to business and simply managing state operations exceptionally well.
Strong management is important. It's certainly underrated. But it's not all that appealing to voters. In fact, it hardly registers.
If anything, the opposite happens. Good management -- the absence of scandal or budget breakdowns -- leads to a sense that things are going along okay and that it in fact may not even matter much who is in charge.
That's part of why McDonnell's message of sticking to the basics has been so strong. But he was lucky in his opponent, as well.

Botulinum toxin injection is overall the most effective nonsurgical therapy for focal hyperhidrosis. Therapeutic failure from antibody formation is theoretically possible, but unlike the circumstance of its use for dystonia where large amounts are administered, this appears to be very rare with hyperhidrosis.
An easy way of identifying areas of sweat is a simple facial tissue and a gentian violet, starch or iodine marker. Hot spots producing greater amounts of sweat can then be identified and higher doses are applied there. The typical area of treatment corresponds to the hairy area. Generally, all that is needed for analgesia is an ice pack applied to the axillae prior to injection.

Little sign of progress as Obama, Putin speak |
AP Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 3:39 pm TWN |
WASHINGTON -- Speaking for the first time in more than two weeks, President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin showed little sign of agreement on Monday, with the U.S. leader urging pro-Russian forces to de-escalate the situation in eastern Ukraine and Putin denying that Moscow was interfering in the region.
The White House said Russia initiated the phone call, which came as pro-Russian forces deepened their insurgency in Ukraine's east, seizing more than a dozen government buildings. "The president expressed grave concern about Russian government support for the actions of armed, pro-Russian separatists who threaten to undermine and destabilize the government of Ukraine," the White House said in a description of Obama's call with Putin. "The president emphasized that all irregular forces in the country need to lay down their arms, and he urged President Putin to use his influence with these armed, pro-Russian groups to convince them to depart the buildings they have seized." In its own description of the call, the Kremlin said Putin told Obama reports of Russian interference in the region were "based on unreliable information." The Russian leader also urged Obama to discourage the Ukrainian government from using force against those protesters. Both sides did suggest that plans would go forward for talks Thursday in Geneva between the U.S., Russia, Ukraine and Europe. But the White House said Obama told Putin that while a diplomatic solution remained his preferred option, "it cannot succeed in an environment of Russian military intimidation on Ukraine's borders, armed provocation within Ukraine, and escalatory rhetoric by Kremlin officials." U.S. officials say there is compelling evidence that Russia is fomenting the unrest in eastern Ukraine, but have suggested Obama has not yet concluded that Putin's actions warrant broader sanctions on key Russian economic sectors. "We are actively evaluating what is happening in eastern Ukraine, what actions Russia has taken, what transgressions they've engaged in," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "And we are working with our partners and assessing for ourselves what response we may choose." Administration officials confirmed Monday that CIA chief John Brennan visited the Ukrainian capital of Kiev over the weekend, breaking with the administration's typical practice of not disclosing the director's travel. Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych accused Brennan of being behind Ukraine's decision to send troops into the east to try to quash an increasingly brazen pro-Russian insurgency. While U.S. officials denied those accusations, confirmation of Brennan's visit could provide fodder for Russian officials to create a pretext for further incursions into eastern Ukraine. Obama and Putin last spoke on March 28. Since then, pro-Russian forces have undertaken a rampage of storming and occupying local government offices, police stations and a small airport in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has proved powerless to rein in the separatists, who are demanding more autonomy from the central government in Kiev and closer ties to Russia. The White House has blamed the unrest on Russia, saying there are undeniable similarities between the situation in eastern Ukraine and the Kremlin's maneuvers in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula Russia annexed from Ukraine last month. "The evidence is compelling that Russia is supporting these efforts and involved in these efforts," Carney said. "You saw this coordinated effort in a number of cities across eastern Ukraine all at once that sure didn't look organic to observers from the outside."

State probing Apple's deal for a new store Grand Central (New York Post)
New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli is investigating the terms of Apple's lease with Grand Central Terminal for its new store, due to open next week. The investigation was prompted by the Post's earlier report, which said that Apple is not sharing revenue with Grand Central operator, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. DiNapoli intends to make sure "the MTA hasn't given away the store." Inside sources tell this reporter that the MTA's pitch to Apple consisted of a pithy "Take our space...please!"
Samsung Mobile USA (Facebook)
Samsung continues to lay the smack down on Apple--or attempts to do so. On the company's Facebook page, it dubs the iPhone "old school," comparing it to a 1980s Zack Morris cell phone and a pair of tin cans with a string. By comparison, you can tell Samsung's phone is "cutting edge," thanks to the futuristically unreadable font.

Yahoo says Apple's iPhone is the top search term on the Web, beating out celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez. So I guess we should expect the iPhone's debut album any day now.

While anyone with $1 million in the bank is technically a millionaire, it apparently takes a lot more money than that for the merely rich to feel truly wealthy. According to a survey of the ultra-rich by Fidelity Investments, the real benchmark for being wealthy is $7.5 million.
The Wall Street Journal relays the results of the survey, which quizzed 1,000 people with at least $1 million in investible assets, 42 percent of which said they don't feel wealthy. Those who didn't feel wealthy said it would take an average of $7.5 million to feel rich, and those who did feel wealthy said they first felt rich when they had an average of $1.75 million.
How much money would you need to feel rich?

One Newton County parent is incensed that her 8-year-old son has been suspended pending a tribunal for accidentally bringing a BB gun to school and turning it over to administrators when he realized his mistake, but according to zero tolerance policy and law, how the situation is handled is largely out of the hands of Newton County school officials.
The man who shot his estranged wife and step-daughter outside a Rockdale County daycare last year will spend the next 50 years in prison after pleading guilty Friday.
Covington police caught up with two women after they reportedly stole shopping carts full of groceries from Kroger and Walmart on Saturday.
Times are tough with the economic downturn and no one would not be faulted for looking for ways to relieve some of their monetary stresses and burdens.

The felony racketeering case against Victor Hill, Clayton County's former sheriff who is currently seeking re-election, has been delayed for possibly as long as a year, but Newton County District Attorney Layla Zon, the special prosecutor on the case, said she will respect the court's wishes and believes several important issues in the case should be examined by appellate courts before moving forward.
Hill served as sheriff of Clayton County from 2005-2008. During his controversial term, several of his actions were questioned, including the immediate firing of 27 employees, who were escorted from the building, while snipers were ...

Daigo-ji 醍醐寺 |
The Five-story Pagoda, a National Treasure of Japan
Information | |
Mountain name | Daigozan |
Denomination | Daigo School of Shingon Buddhism |
Venerated | Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaiṣajyaguru) |
Founded | 874 |
Founder(s) | Shōbō |

Daigo-ji (醍醐寺 Daigo-ji) is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. Its main devotion (honzon) is Yakushi. Daigo, literally "ghee," is used figuratively to mean "crème de la crème" and is a metaphor of the most profound part of Buddhist thoughts.[1]

Daigo-ji was founded in the early Heian period.[2] In 874, Rigen-daishi (Shōbō) founded the temple.
After having fallen ill and abdicated in 930, Emperor Daigo entered Buddhist priesthood at this temple. As a monk, he took the Buddhist name Hō-kongō; and shortly thereafter, died at the age of 46. He was buried in the temple, which is why his posthumous name was Daigo.[3]
National treasures
Several structures, including the kondō and the five-story pagoda, are National Treasures of Japan. The temple possesses 18 specifically designated national treasures, including the buildings and other works as well; and the temple holds several dozen important cultural assets. Wall paintings at the temple were the subject of academic research which earned the Imperial Prize of the Japan Academy in 1960.[4]
As part of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto," it is designated as a World Heritage Site.
The five-storey pagoda at Daigoji temple was built in 951 and is the oldest building in Kyoto. It was one of few buildings to survive the Onin War in the 15th century.
More than seven centuries after its founding, Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a famous cherry blossom viewing party called Daigo no hanami[5] in 1598 at the Sambō-in sub-temple.[6]
The bright colors of maple leaves attract tourists and others in the Autumn season. Emperor Suzaku's mausoleum, known as Daigo no misasagi, is located near Daigo-ji.
Daigo-ji is laid out in three parts: Sambō-in, Shimo-Daigo (Lower Daigo), and Kami-Daigo (Upper Daigo).[7] These are progressively older, wilder, and further up the mountain. Sambō-in and Shimo-Daigo are at the base of the mountain, easily accessible, and attract the most tourism; Kami-Daigo is on top of the mountain, requires a long, strenuous hike to reach, and is accordingly less visited. The streets around Sambō-in can be freely traveled, but entering Sambō-in proper, the museum, Shimo-Daigo, or Kami-Daigo all require separate admission – the first three have combined ticketing, while Kami-Daigo is separate.
Sambō-in is a collection of walled complexes, connected by streets lined with cherry blossoms. It contains the temple proper (including a noted tea garden), a museum, and other complexes, and is very lively during cherry blossom season. Shimo-Daigo is one large enclosure, containing detached halls, including the oldest surviving building in Kyoto, together with open spaces.
Kami-Daigo, other than a small cluster of buildings at the base, is located on top of the mountain. The entrance to Kami-Daigo can be reached by passing through Shimo-Daigo, or by a path beside Shimo-Daigo. There is a path with stairs up to the top, which takes about one hour to reach the main complex; halfway up there is a resting point and small shrine. At the entrance to the main complex is Daigo-Sui, a spring of holy water, which was the origin of Daigo-ji, together with other buildings. A further fifteen minute walk reaches the summit, which contains other halls, notably the Kaisan-dō (開山堂, Founder's hall), together with expansive views of the cities below. Beyond the summit, the back of the mountain is almost completely undeveloped, primarily featuring hiking trails. There is however the Oku-no-in (奥之院, inner sanctum), a grotto with a few statues, reached by a twenty minute hike along a rough trail. Due to difficulty reaching, this is rarely visited by tourists, though a temple event is held there on the first Sunday in March. Near the Oku-no-in is an outlook, the Higashi-no-nozoki (東の覗き, east lookout), which offers another view.[8]
On August 24, 2008, the Juntei Kannon-dō at the top of the hill on the east of the temple was struck by lighting and burned down. It stood in the Kami Daigo part of the temple. Kami Daigo is Number 11 in the 33 temples of the Kansai Kannon Pilgrimage. The structure dated from 1968.[9] This resulted in the temporary closure of the upper area (Kami Daigo-ji) for disaster restoration construction, which reopened on July 1, 2009;[10] however, as of 2012, the English version of the website incorrectly still lists the upper area as closed.[11]

The question is the bread and butter of online anti-Left discourse, and the theme of a million conversations and hundreds of books - what should we do to defeat the Left?... But the question is wrongly-framed, and can lead only to false, counter-productive answers.
What should 'we' do, what should we 'do', to 'defeat'... these words reveal a false world view underpinning the debate; they reveal - indeed - unresolved Leftism in those who purport to oppose the Left.
When the modern condition is understood; it is also understood that there is no 'we' in the same sense as there really is a 'them' - the asymmetry is the whole point at issue. The asymmetry is that the Left is doing one thing - which is strategically working for destruction of Good in all its manifestations - while the opponents of the Left are doing many things, according to their concept of The Good.
The Left is anti-Religion; but the anti-Left is - can only be - pro-Religion; however, there are many religions.
So while there is truly a 'them', an Establishment and those who serve them; there is no 'us'.
And because there is no 'us' then we cannot 'do' anything; and we cannot 'defeat' the Left.
Is this bad news, is it a counsel of despair? Well, not if you really are anti-Left; because then you will perceive the situation spiritually not politically; and you will regard the Left as a spiritual movement that is aiming at spiritual corruption then inversion.
(i.e. The Left is ultimately about damnation, not about politics, economics, psychology etc - all those are just a front.)
The very reason that we must reject the Left or face damnation and extinction is that by now the Left has very fully succeeded in its aims. The Leftist perspective is very pervasive among Western populations and it dominates all the major social institutions wherethey work, which regulate them, from where they get the continual information and entertainment infusions to which they are utterly addicted: in thrall.
In other words, The West really is spiritually rotten; we really are very corrupted and our value system is to an unprecedented extent inverted. This is a fact of here, and now.
Therefore - as things stand - there is not 'us' and 'them': we are almost-all 'them' to a greater or lesser extent; which means that 'we' cannot - and I mean cannot, not merely that it is difficult - make any kind of quasi-political alliance to defeat 'them'; again because there is no 'we'.
From where we are here-and-now, with the populations we actually have; any group assembled with the intention of opposing Leftism is itself going to be substantially Leftist - and fighting for aspects of what were historically aspects of Leftism.
(This seems very obvious to me! Nationalism, pro-racism, prosperity, liberty, constitutionalism and rule of law... these are Old Left ideas, that Old Left which was powerless to resist New Left takeover.)
The implication is clear - which is that no constructive change is possible until after there is an 'us', as well as a 'them'. We first need to undo the corruption of spirit which pervades almost everybody in The West. We need to make an 'us'.
We don't need to undo Leftism in everyone all at once (which is anyway impossible) - but there does need to be a start made; there needs to be a substantial number and proportion of people, a cohesive group, who actually have repented and reformed themselves sufficiently; who have identified their own key errors and sins, and repented them; there needs to be a group of (more or less) spiritually enlightened people.
At present, the situation is that There Just Isn't. There is nothing remotely approaching a group of anti-Left people who are themselves sufficiently free from the Leftist taint to do anything to 'defeat' Leftism: there just isn't!
This is why I keep banging-on about the absolute necessity for Spiritual Awakening - and that this must come first. I must come first because if it does not come, then we will just be having Left-versus-Left office politics, and Establishment infighting - jostling for power to impose various rival brands of Leftism.
Which is exactly (and only) what we so far have post-Brexit, post-Trump - indeed, how could it be otherwise?
If we want anything more and different, then we must turn to the spiritual side as a basis for it. And there is no arguing with must!

Spicebush Swallowtail Papilio troilus |
credit: Daniel Spurgeon/CCSA |
Papilio troilus, the spicebush swallowtail, is a common black swallowtail butterfly found in North America, also known as the Green-Clouded butterly. It has two subspecies, Papilio troilus troilus and Papilio troilus ilioneus, found mainly in the Florida peninsula. The spicebush swallowtail derives its name from its most common host plant, the spicebush, members of the genus Lindera.
The family to which spicebush swallowtails belong, Papilionidae, or Swallowtails, include the largest butterflies in the world. The Swallowtails are unique in that even while feeding, they continue to flutter their wings. Unlike other Swallowtail butterflies, Spicebushes fly low to the ground instead of at great heights.

Burj Dubai, renamed Burj Khalifa in honour of the ruler of Abu Dhabi who came to Dubai's rescue during its financial crisis, is currently the world's tallest building. Designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), the tower measures 828 metres from its base to the tip of its spire and has been recognised as the world's tallest in all four categories determined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), which compiles and ranks the world's tallest buildings.
Anthony Wood, CTBUH Executive Director, said: "The Burj Dubai opening marks the culmination of an incredible technical and architectural adventure. Never before has the world's tallest building been exceeded by another building by more than approximately 60 metres, but here we see the realisation of a building more than 300 metres taller than the previous record holder. It is also the first time that a predominantly residential building has taken the title, though a residential function actually lends itself better to achieving great height if that is the driving force for the project (smaller floor plates, fewer elevators required, etc)." When asked to comment on the sustainability of the superscraper, Wood added: "Denser cities are an important part of the solution to combat energy use/climate change, and tall buildings have a role to play in that. It is perhaps unfair to judge a building conceived almost a decade ago by today's fast-changing environmental-technological standards and it is thus in the concentration of population on smaller footprints of land that Burj Dubai contributes to the debate on creating more sustainable patterns of life."
The Burj Dubai sits at the centre of a large scale, mixed-use development comprised of residential, commercial, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure outlets with open green spaces, water features, pedestrian boulevards, a shopping mall and a tourist-oriented old town. The design of the tower combines historical and cultural influences with cutting-edge technology to achieve a high-performance building. Its massing is manipulated in the vertical dimension to induce maximum vortex shedding and minimize the impact of wind on the tower's movement.
George Efstathiou, SOM Managing Partner for the project, commented, "Becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure is a pretty big deal, especially since the CN Tower held this record for more than three decades."
Bill Baker, SOM Structural Engineering Partner, added: "We invented a new structural system, the 'Buttressed Core', that enabled us to reach these heights economically. SOM is known for our experience with super-tall buildings such as the Sears Tower in Chicago and Jin Mao in Shanghai. The goal of the Burj Dubai, though, is not simply to be the world's tallest building; it's to embody the world's highest aspirations. Working on the Burj Dubai is a huge accomplishment for everyone involved with the project."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!The court has granted me Motion to vacate judgment for a medical bill that I was sued for. The hearing is set again in few weeks and I have to go and present my case; my argument focus on I had healthcare coverage and I did provide the information, but provider failed to file the claim.
What kind of document do I need? I want to use the court time properly to present my case. Any suggestion is welcome.
You need to take every single document with you that would support your case. Take multiple copies so that the opposing party can have a copy and the court can have a copy. If the claim is less than $5000 then you will have an easier time presenting your case because the rules of evidence are relaxed. If the claim is over $5000 then you may have trouble. You would be held to the rules of evidence. This means that your documents may not be admissible. If your defense is that the provider failed to file the claim, then you need evidence to support your defense (assuming it's even a valid defense). If the claim is large, I highly suggest talking to an attorney about what options you may have.

TRENTON, N.J. — The Topps Meat Co. on Saturday expanded its recall of frozen hamburger patties to include 21.7 million pounds of ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria that sickened more than a dozen people in eight states.
The recall of products distributed to retail grocery stores and food service institutions in the United States was a drastic increase from the 332,000 pounds recalled Tuesday.
The recall represents all Topps products with either a "sell by date" or a "best if used by date" between Sept. 25 this year and Sept. 25, 2008. The Elizabeth-based company said this information is found on a package's back panel.
All recalled products also have a USDA establishment number of EST 9748, which is located on the back panel of the package and-or in the USDA legend, the company said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday it had suspended the grinding of raw products at the Topps plant after inspectors found inadequate safety measures at the Topps plant. The USDA declined to detail the inadequate safety measures.
"Because the health and safety of our consumers is our top priority, we are taking these expansive measures," said Geoffrey Livermore, Topps' operations vice president.
He said Topps has augmented its procedures with microbiologists and food safety experts.
"We sincerely regret any inconvenience and concerns this may cause our consumers," Livermore said.
The USDA said three people are confirmed as getting E. Coli from Topps products, with 22 other cases under investigation. Cases were found in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
E. coli causes intestinal illness that generally clears up within a week for adults but can be deadly for the very young, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms can include severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and, in extreme cases, kidney failure.
A full list of the recalled products is available at http://www.toppsmeat.com/.
