Allon announces PSP clinical trial results
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 18, 2012 01:49 PM
VANCOUVER, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Allon Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: NPC) announced today that its pivotal clinical trial evaluating its lead product candidate davunetide as a treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) failed to demonstrate efficacy in this population.
The study had co-primary outcome measures: the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale (PSPRS), and the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SEADL). Data analysis failed to detect an effect on either the PSPRS or the SEADL.
The study also examined a series of secondary and exploratory endpoints. There was no evidence of a drug effect on these secondary or exploratory endpoints in the pre-specified analysis. The Company will undertake further analysis to determine if there is any evidence of an effect or explanation for the absence of an effect.
Allon President and CEO Gordon McCauley said, "This is a very sad day for patients, family members, and caregivers living with PSP because so many of them held out great hope that these results would define a drug that has an impact on their disease. Sadly these results have not fulfilled these hopes but we are deeply grateful to them for their unrelenting support of this study. While this outcome is not at all what we anticipated, we do believe that we designed the correct study and executed that study well."
Allon said the multinational phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled a total of 313 subjects definitively diagnosed with PSP. Subjects were randomized into two groups, and treated with 30 mg of davunetide or placebo twice per day for 52 weeks. The study was carried out under a Special Protocol Assessment with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 47 sites in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Australia. The study was designed to enroll a homogeneous PSP population and data generated by the study confirm this finding.
This study did demonstrate that the study population was highly homogenous and that davunetide is generally safe and well tolerated in this population. The adverse events recorded during the study are typical of this patient population and were generally balanced between the treated and placebo groups.
The Company said it will evaluate its strategic options going forward, but it will not allocate any additional capital to research and development activities for davunetide at this time. This strategic review will include all options for exploiting Allon's assets. Allon undertook the pivotal trial based upon statistically significant human efficacy demonstrated in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia, and positive biomarker data.
The Company will also take immediate action to reduce its ongoing operating expenses including a reduction in staff.
Allon management will host a conference call to discuss these results today, Tuesday December 18, 2012 at 2:00pm PST/5:00pm EST.

text: Theft of Pedal Tractor Collection Distresses Family June 7, 2013 08:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email The family of a late Iowa equipment hauler is trying to locate a collection of his pedal tractors stolen recently from a storage unit in Hamilton, Ill. The toys were taken after only a few days, says Deborah Perry, daughter of collector Robert "Bob" Burke. They were stored after his death in April and, per his wishes, would have been sold at auction. Burke lost his arm in a farming accident as a young boy and later became a semi and lowboy driver for Raid Bros Quarry for 27 years, Perry says. He enjoyed buying and restoring small-scale versions of the equipment he once helped transport. In an email interview, Perry described the collection, the value it holds for the family and the action the family is taken to locate the stolen tractors. Tell me a bit about your dad. Only having one arm did not stop him from doing what he wanted to do. After my mother passed away in 1993, he started collecting toys - mainly farm toys or heavy equipment much like what he had hauled. He enjoyed turning a rusty and dented toy into a nicely restored piece. His greatest love was his pedal tractors. He restored many for himself as well as some for friends in Denmark. Anyone that knew my dad knows that he had his own unique way of assembling the pedal tractors. This was in part due to the fact that he only had one arm. He developed ways of assembling that worked for him. This fact should help in locating the stolen pedal tractors. What was stolen? Among the approximate nine to 12 stolen pedal tractors are four John Deeres, three Farmalls, one White and one Massey. These are approximate figures, as we are still going through the collection. What is the value of the collection, in dollars and sentimental value? The value would be $2,000 to $3,000. The sentiment goes far beyond that amount. This was Dad's love, and he wanted them sold at auction. He loved going to auctions, where found much of his collection. To have part of his collection stolen was like losing a part of him all over again. There was an enormous amount of sentimental value to the entire family. We would ask no questions if the person or persons were to return these pedal tractors so they can be sold at Dad's auction. Is there a reward? Sullivan Auctioneers, LLC publicized a $1,000 cash reward and will be placing another ad the week of June 10th. They are raising the award to $2,000 in hopes that someone will come forward with information. What other comments would you like to make? Sullivan Auctioneers, LLC are still quite confident that they will be caught. They are hoping that the reward will encourage someone to come forward. Back to news

Here's how to help your plants avoid self-strangulation
When I visit friends' homes, being asked to diagnose plant problems is not uncommon. I entered one friend's front door only to be escorted outside to diagnose the cause of a groundcover juniper's death. My friend had planted three junipers in 2009; one had died in June.
I told him that I would have to dig it up and perform an autopsy. He found it hard to believe that I could not diagnose the problem by simply looking at it. I replied that I could give him a number of possible causes but not the exact cause without examining the roots.
Upon lifting the plant from the ground I saw the cause of death: girdling roots. It was evident that the plant had been grown in an eight-inch container because the shape and the size of the root ball had not changed during its three years in the ground.
Clean Your
I asked if he had cut or pulled apart the root ball at planting. He assured me he had, but it was clear from the circular pattern of root growth that the roots had continued to grow in the original growing medium and had not established themselves in the surrounding soil.
Only three roots near the top end of the root ball had grown beyind the original growing medium. These top roots had already circled the stem when the plant was very young, and they grew at the same time and at the same rate that the diameter of the stem was enlarging. As both grew, they came together sometime late last year. When the roots started to grow again this year, they girdled, or strangled, the stem, causing the juniper's death.
Avoid this problem yourself by slashing a plant's root ball five or six times from top to bottom at planting. Using a sharp knife, cut an inch or two deep into the sides of the root ball.
Your cuts both stop the circle pattern of growth resulting from container culture and cause new roots to emerge from the surface of the cut roots. This practice also encourages the plant's rapid establishment in the soil.
For container-grown plants, nurseries generally use a rooting medium that's a blend of milled pine bark, peat moss and sand or some other aggregate. This type of blend encourages early and rapid root development because it has an abundance of air and drains well. To thrive in the ground, container-grown plants need encouragement to stretch out their roots.

Exposure to electric and magnetic fields from high-voltage lines: overhead lines & underground cables
- Whether in the household, at work or on-the-go - wherever electricity is generated, transmitted or used, we may be exposed to electric and magnetic fields.
- High- and extra-high voltage lines, which serve to transport and distribute electricity, contribute to electromagnetic field exposure.
- In a study completed in 2009, the BfS commissioned the measurement of field intensities in the vicinity of alternating current overhead lines and underground cables at high- and extra-high voltage level. The highest magnetic field strengths were measured under 380 kV overhead lines and above 380 kV underground cables.
- Long high voltage direct current lines are still in the planning stage in Germany. Results of measurements taken in the vicinity of the lines are not available yet.
Electric and magnetic fields may occur in the vicinity of direct and alternating current lines. Usually, however, most electromagnetic field exposure comes from house wiring and electrical appliances running on low voltages. This is important: the greater the distance from high- or extra-high voltage lines, electrical appliances and house wiring, the less they contribute to total exposure.
Electric fields
Electric fields are shielded well by soil and ordinary building materials. For this reason, they are irrelevant for underground cables but do occur in the vicinity of overhead lines.
The electrical field strength depends especially on the operating voltage of the line. Field strengths which exceed the limit value for low-frequency electric fields may occur under 380 kV AC-overhead lines (extra-high voltage lines). This limit value is only obligatory for places where people stay for extended periods such as residential estates or school yards. The intended use of a place is decisive in this regard. In the case of high- and medium-voltage lines, the limit value is usually complied with even directly below the lines. The limit value does not apply to low-voltage lines; the electric field strengths, however, are low because of the low voltage.
Direct current lines produce static electric fields. Unlike the low-frequency fields produced by alternating current, they are approximately constant in time and do not alternate direction continually. Long high voltage direct current installations are still in the planning stage in Germany. Measurement values for the vicinity of the lines are not available yet.
Magnetic fields
Magnetic fields occur around overhead lines and underground cables. They are not shielded by soil or building materials and therefore penetrate buildings and also the human body.
Magnetic fields are produced when current flows. As the magnetic field strength depends on the current, the field strengths vary with the currents in the lines. That is why the magnetic field around a line is stronger when – at certain times of day - a lot of current is used or transferred. The highest field strengths can be found under overhead lines and above underground cables. They decrease significantly with lateral distance from a transmission line route.
With overhead lines the field distribution depends mainly on the tower height as well as on the sag and the arrangement of the conductors. The sag of the conductors is, among other things, determined by the distance to neighbouring towers along the transmission line (span length) and by the quantity of power transmitted: The more current flows, the warmer the lines get. In the process, they expand and their sag increases. The same effect occurs in summer with high temperatures. In winter, ice on the lines may cause an increase in sag. The reduced distance to the ground may then result in increased field strength values.
With underground cables the burial depth, the cable formation and of course the current is decisive for the magnetic field strengths and their distribution.
Direct current lines produce static magnetic fields. Unlike the low-frequency fields produced by alternating current, they are approximately constant in time and do not alternate direction continually.
Study: exposure to magnetic fields
In a study on the "Assessment of the Bavarian citizens' exposure to low frequency magnetic fields", the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) has found that individuals who - according to their own information - live within 100 metres of a high-voltage line were only exposed to slightly (about 10 per cent) higher fields than the other study participants. In the process, the exposures were recorded and averaged over 24 hours.
Comparison of electric and magnetic fields from overhead lines and underground cables
In a study completed in 2009, the BfS commissioned the measurement of field intensities in the vicinity of alternating current overhead lines and underground cables at high- and extra-high voltage level. The highest magnetic field strengths were measured under 380 kV overhead lines and above 380 kV underground cables. At 1.0 metre above ground level the field strengths were 4.8 (overhead line) and 3.5 (underground cable) microteslas (µT).
Data on the current flow at the time of measurement were gathered from the transmission grid operators and the measured field strengths were additionally extrapolated to the situation that may occur during maximum current flow. For the examined installations, the limit value of 100 microteslas measured at a height of 1 metre above ground level was also complied with under the aforementioned condition.
Compared to overhead line routes, the magnetic fields from underground cables drop off significantly earlier and more rapidly with increasing distance from the centre line of the transmission line route as the adjacent figure shows
Long high voltage direct current lines are still in the planning stage in Germany. Results of measurements taken in the vicinity of the lines at places, which are accessible to the general public, are not available yet but are expected to be well below the German limit of 500 microteslas. The limits for magnetic fields of high voltage direct and alternating current lines deviate from one another because of the different effects of static and low-frequency fields.

Beaded leaf gown
Added Jun 29, 2010
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
IT'S FINALLY DONE!!! Ugh I never want to hand sew, hand bead, hand, anything again!! I started this gown around 3 weeks ago. I probably could have finished it sooner but I was procrastinating on it a lot…like I said, hand sewing…shivers. I used lace for the panels and then beaded around the edges. For the bodice I cut off some beaded appliqu from this dress I got at Goodwill. Then I put them in a design that I liked and hand sewed all of them together. I used hooks in the back so you can get in and out of it. I'm really excited with the way it turned out, but I've decided that my next project will be strictly sewing machine only! ; ) Haha hope you like it.

last night i received an email back from the good folks at outlier.
Hi Beth, Much apologies, your email came as quite a shock to us, we certainly did not name our pants with the intention of robbing or offending anyone. We were not in anyway actively aware of your keirin cut campaign. However in digging through our old emails we did find someone sending us a link over 25 months ago to your site. It's a great name and likely stuck with us while the source of it regrettably did not. We've added a link and acknowledgment to our site. If you'd like to chat further, please give us a call at our office and we'll be happy to chat. Best regards and apologies for any confusion.a very nice letter, indeed and thanks very much for the response and link on your website. of course i did not have the name trademarked, nor am i much for legal snafus with small, homegrown businesses.
i thought about it long and hard on my whole 15 minute commute home, and decided there is only one true course of action: the keirin cut dungarees must go to the test!!!
there is lots of skepticism about these pants because of this skinny model, who clearly does not belong in the big-quad club.
i mean. i don't even think he could squat the bar.
do these pants actually fit big-quaded keirin riders like they claim? i think they need to be put to the test.
i propose the following folks be testers:
#1 - dana feiss
and thanks pat benson for the bitchin' photo!
no one has bigger quads than gio. no one. and even if they have a bigger measurement... proportionally speaking, no one has a bigger quad measurement. gio's quads are so big, he can really only ride a bike, as he must slightly waddle to walk because of the ginormous muscle he possesses.
i mean, gio's quads are so big, he can't even wear normal clothes. only spandex. so if these dungarees can fit him, then i think i will definitely approve of the keirin cut name.
i mostly choose steven beardsley as tester number three... because, well, no one is really any damn funnier. i mean, he wears pink. he team is the gentle lovers. and, yeah, his quads are pretty damn big too.
#4 jennie reed
lastly, who better to be testing the truth of dungarees more than WORLD KEIRIN CHAMPION jennie reed?
yeah, jennie has turned enduro this year. but her quads are still huge. i know because i touched them in seattle this summer. and trust me, they were solid. it is rare you see quads that are just as big at the bottom part of the quad, than the top of the quad. that is what it takes to be world champion.
and world champions need pants!!!
what makes you think that world keirin champion will test your pants. well, she became my facebook friend. finally. so she does what my blog tells her to do.
so, mr. abe- are you game? will you undergo a testing of your pantalons with some real keirin riders? if they fit, i will be more than happy for you to use the name.
if they do not, i kindly ask you to change the name to some lame-sounding endurance event like: scratch style or olympic style omnium make, or madison leg....
secondly: make some jeans for women using my test models for sizing. that was the whole point of my campaign anyway!

Numb3rs renewed
I got review fatigue and stopped posting Numb3rs reviews (I haven't even finished watching the episodes saved up), but I do like the series, and now news comes that CBS is renewing it for this fall. What's even more interesting is that Law and Order: Trial by Jury, that was up against it in the same time slot, was cancelled.

There is no other part of your house that experiences as much wear and tear as your garage door. You never realize how often you use your garage door until the day it stops working on you.
The majority of families in the United States use the garage as the main entrance into their home, being used many times throughout the day, thousands of times per year. When kept in good working order, it can provide security and storage at your convenience.
Having a garage can really make life easier, but when it is not cared for can become a safety risk to you, your family, and especially children. With its natural wear and tear, a garage door cable can come apart or a door opener can malfunction, resulting in a hazard to your belongings and anyone near your door.
In order to keep it running right, it is essential to perform routine service to avoid expensive repairs. The following top 10 garage door maintenance tips for homeowners will help keep your door working properly for years to come. These maintenance tips require no special skills and usually take less than 10 minutes each to perform.
Required Materials Needed
Avoid last minute trips the hardware store by having all of your materials onsite and ready ahead of time. You may not use every single tool listed but having it available will save you time and frustration.
· Wrench set
· Tape Measure
· Hammer
· Pliers
· Screw gun
· Weatherstrip
· Lubricant/Cleaner (WD-40)
· White Lithium Grease
· Toothbrush
· Flat blade screwdriver
· Garage door rollers
· Safety First
In order to ensure safety while working on your garage, remember to never remove the lift cable. The garage cables are under extreme tension and will cut like a knife if released.
Never try to adjust or release the garage door springs. This is a job that should be left for the professionals only.
1.) Paying Attention
When was the last time you visually inspected your garage door? You may not be a certified technician, but you can take the time to check out your garage.
If you have a metal garage, check for rust spots. These areas should be sanded, primed and painted. If you have a wooden garage door, it should be checked for water damage. If not sealed properly, wood garage can warp and lose their shape over time.
It will also be good to wash your door on a regular basis with an all-purpose cleaner. Your garage door makes up a large portion of the exterior of your home, so keeping it clean and presentable will have a positive effect on the appearance of your home.
2.) Watch & Listen To Your Door As It Operates
Do you have a noisy garage door? Do the springs pulleys and cables on both sides look symmetrical? Does it move smoothly? Or does it jerk in certain places?
Taking the time to observe and listen to your garage every time you use it is the best precaution every homeowner can perform. By doing this, you will be aware when something doesn't sound right, or when something looks out of place.
3.) Testing the Balance
First, disconnect the opener. You do this by pulling the red handle at the end of the red cord. Once it is disconnected, open the door about half way. If the garage door starts to close on its own, then the garage door is not balanced properly. The springs on the door need to be re-adjusted. We customer recommend that you contact a certified professional to repair or replace your springs.
Your garage opener will have to work harder if the door is not properly balanced. This will ultimately shorten the lifespan of the door.
4.) Test Safety Features (Auto-Reverse)
There are two safety mechanisms on your garage: mechanical and photocell. A door that does not have these safety features is outdated and needs to be replaced immediately.
In order to test the mechanical safety feature on your garage, place a solid object on the ground in the path of the garage door. When the garage touches the object while closing, it should automatically go back up.
When testing the photocell feature on your garage, simply stick out your leg in the door's path when closing. Your leg will come in contact with the photoelectric beam (not visible) that runs across the bottom of the door. The garage should automatically reverse once your leg contacts the photoelectric beam.
5.) Visually Inspect Your Cables
You should never touch the cables. These high-tension springs are responsible for lifting the door. They have enough force to cause serious injuries, even death. You can visually inspect that garage cables too if there are any broken strands or anything that is out of order. If you see there is damage, we recommend that you hire a professional.
6.) Clear the Tracks
Take a look at the rails on both sides of the door. Clean the garage door tracks so there is no debris or trash. Also, look for any physical damage making sure it is straight and aligned. Tracks that are damaged can cause the door to not be smooth and it will be very noisy.
Spray the garage tracks with a citrus-based solvent or WD-40, then wipe everything clean with a cloth. If needed, use an old toothbrush to loosen up dirt and grime, then wipe with a cloth.
Any major repairs or adjustments to the tracks should be handled by a professional garage door technician.
7.) Apply Oil to The Moving Parts
Ten minutes of work can add years to the life of your garage door. Keeping your door parts lubricated will keep your garage running smooth and quiet. You should use white lithium grease on your garage opener chain and spray lubricants on the rollers, hinges, bearings and tracks. Also apply grease to the garage door opener chain or drive screw.
Remember, never attempt to do any work on the springs or cables. Leave that to the professionals.
8.) Replace Weatherstripping (If Needed)
The weatherstrip is the piece of rubber attached to the bottom of your door. It is called a U-shaped astragal. It keeps that rain water, debris and rodents from entering your garage. Check along the side of the door and adjust the stripping if necessary.
You should change the rubber weather strip on your door if it's starting to crack and fall apart. Use a flat blade screwdriver to remove the old weather strip before installing a new one.

Game Play in the Enterprise
This is my first post to the Virtual Worlds blog so let me start by introducing myself. My name is Greg Pelton, I've been at Cisco for 10 years and I lead the Technology Center. Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about collaboration. Collaboration is critical for successful businesses and the premise of this blog is that Virtual Worlds have a role to play in enabling enterprise collaboration. Let's explore that idea by looking at two examples of Virtual Worlds – Second Life and World of Warcraft – and how they support collaboration.Meeting vs Collaborating in Virtual WorldsSecond Life (SL) is an extremely powerful environment, with great flexibility and unlimited options. After a team meeting in SL today I had a chance to wander around a shopping area looking for new clothes for my avatar. There were a wealth of things I could buy in SL and in many ways it was a better shopping experience than in real life. Along the way I ran into other avatars and had an opportunity to meet new people, but I didn't really feel compelled to interact. I've also attended scheduled events within SL, for instance a Cisco new product launch. Here I met other people who shared similar interests to me and we had nice discussions about Cisco products or even avatar clothing. However meeting isn't collaborating. I don't find Second Life a very satisfying environment for collaborating and this comes down to what is missing in SL. One thing that is missing is Game Play. I consider myself a casual gamer, not in the sense of exclusively playing Casual Games, rather that I enjoy playing games casually or occasionally. Real life intrudes often enough that I can't devote the time or energy to become a Hardcore Gamer. I often play World of Warcraft or WoW and I find it a much better environment for collaboration than is Second Life. In fact if you just sit back and watch avatars in WoW, you'll immediately see examples of collaborative behavior. So what does this creature have to do with collaboration? First you need to strip away the fact that the character looks like a Frankencow and think of it as just an avatar. In WoW (we can use WoW as a proxy for any of the good MMORPGs) your avatar is given a set of tasks to complete. You can solicit help from others who share that same task by sending a message to your organization, or you can travel to the location where that task takes place and meet others who have the same assignment. You are allowed to form ad hoc groups to work on the task and once you complete the task together, you will all share in the reward. This is where meeting becomes collaboration – the combination of co-location and common goals and shared rewards. It is the Game Play of WoW that determines these three factors and, ultimately, which promotes collaboration. Game Play has many other elements including navigation and conflict, but for now let's focus on just these three.I use the term "tasks" rather than "quests" or "missions" deliberately because I think there is an analogue in the enterprise. In business we are assigned tasks constantly and accomplishing these tasks is one of the key reasons we continue to draw a paycheck. The challenge before us then is how to define the Game Play in a virtual world so that it represents tasks that are relevant to the enterprise and generates rewards that are relevant to our MBOs and careers. Like most other companies, Cisco has a lot of rules that govern what we do and how we do it. The more frequently used rules are captured in what is formally called Business Processes and these business processes are either deeply embedded in the default behavior of the organization or captured and facilitated by various systems and tools developed by the IT department. In order to have productive collaboration in an enterprise Virtual World, we need to incorporate Game Play rules that reflect the business processes of the enterprise. How are we going to achieve this without hiring armies of consultants and if we are successful, how are we going to link this back into the operations of the enterprise? I think this is an important issue and I haven't seen a lot of study on topic so far. What do you think?
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Several new Golden Eagles made their debuts donning the purple and gold on Friday as the Tennessee Tech softball team opened its 2012 campaign at the Seminole Classic in Tallahassee, Fla. Tech scored in the first inning of both games, but both Ole Miss and Stephen F. Austin came back to top the Golden Eagles 6-3 and 3-2 respectively.
Senior Samantha Everett went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and newcomer Cassie Garrett scored a pair of runs to lead Tech on offense.
The first game of the season pitted the Golden Eagles against Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi. Tech struck first as Garrett drew a four-pitch walk to open the game. After stealing second and advancing on a fielder's choice, the sophomore scored on a wild pitch by Mississippi pitcher Kendall Bruning.
Tech senior Holly Thomas refused to allow a hit until Ole Miss exploded on offense in the third inning. A pair of hits, combined with a Tech error and a wild pitch, allowed the Rebels to score four runs to give them a 3-run lead that held through the sixth.
Senior Whitney Cummings entered the game in the sixth in relief of Thomas, but was unable to stop Ole Miss as the Rebels (1-1) tacked on two more to extend the lead to 6-1.
The Golden Eagles mounted a comeback in the seventh, as a hit batter, a walk and a wild pitch put two runners in scoring position with one out. Everett then singled through the right side to score Brittney Spalding from third and advance Kendall Hooper to third. Garrett then hit a sacrifice fly to right that allowed Hooper to cross the plate and finalize the scoring at 6-3.
Thomas suffered the loss, allowing three earned runs on four hits and six walks. She struck out four, hurling 124 pitches.
In the second game of the twin bill, the Golden Eagles faced the Ladyjacks of Stephen F. Austin. Once again, Tech jumped on top early, posting a pair of runs in the first inning. As in the first game, Garrett opened the first by drawing a walk, then advanced to third after a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch.
Junior Chanelle Spalding battled throught a 10-pitch at-bat to draw a walk and put runners at the corners with one out. A sacrifice fly by Cummings scored Garrett and a pair of singles brought Spalding around to score and give Tech the 2-0 advantage early.
SFA answered in the second, scoring a lone run on a single up the middle with two outs.
The Ladyjacks (1-1) scored two more runs to take the lead in the fifth. A pair of walks and a double forced a pitching change for the Golden Eagles. Freshman Taylor Ketchum entered the game, inheriting a bases-loaded situation. A single by SFA's Cadie Weaver scored the runner from third and kept the bases loaded. After Ketchum threw out the Ladyjack runner at home on a fielder's choice, a ground ball to third allowed another run to cross the plate, making the score 3-2, a mark that would hold throughout the remainder of the game.
The Golden Eagles would threaten in the seventh, when Brittney Spalding drew a lead-off walk. Sophomore Kayla Floyd came in to pinch run for her, and advanced to third after stealing second and moving to third on an Everett single. Tech loaded the bases with a one-out walk. Hooper came in to pinch hit, but flied out to right and Floyd was thrown out trying to tie the game.
Tech (0-2) returns to action on Saturday, facing host Florida State in a game scheduled to begin at 11:15 CST. They will play another game later in the day against an opponent to be determined.
Tech freshman Erika Tuck took the loss in her first career start, allowing three earned runs in four innings in the circle. She struck out one and hit one batter while walking four. Ketchum was effective in her first appearance, striking out a pair and allowing just two hits in three innings of work.

Post subject: big step closer to seeing puppy on this g4
debian installer on cd let me shrink mintppc partition.
took a bit of searching before i learned that when
the installer said ' no root file system' and sent me
back, [many times], it wanted me to choose '/'
then carbon copy cloner 2.3
[older version for older mac os x ], from
let me copy from home disk to new partition
and it booted! when i clicked its icon on the display
which followed holding down the option key on mac-keyboard
thanks again aitch, for pointing me to that older ccc,
i was getting so strung out i couldn't remember to keep googling.
so now i'm ready to try to run puppylinux/x86 on mac/powerpc

well i'm looking forward to reporting success
but it just took a step backward...the mac os
in the machine boots 10.2.8 or 9.2.2, user chooses
which to boot depending on legacy software they
might use. choice is made before shutdown, applies
to next boot, that choice becomes default os until
changed from within running os.
my snooping after a virtual pc for mac old enough
for the mac os x 10.2.8 wasn't finding me one but
it was indicating that virtual pc 3 for mac, running
on 9.2.2 might be well worth checking, smaller, simpler
faster than some of the later versions of virtual pc.
so after my searching, before i found anything useful
to download, i set the mac to boot into os 9.2.2 when i
turned it on again. the appropriate little icon appeared
but when i clicked it --it couldn't find what it needed to
a pretty puzzle. such a cautionary tale i had to include it.
all for now, cheers, mm

happy to report back on track: dual-booting mintppc and mac os x 10.2.8., just where i was three days ago, before i learned that i didn't need to boot into mac os 9 i could shift into it while running in os x 10.2.8--a virtual machine running os 9.2.2 for legacy apps/games.
copies of virtual pc for mac ---powerpc mac of this vintage --- are not so easy for me to get. this vintage mac also runs mac os 9.2.2 under 10.2.8 which means, i think, that virtual pc 3 for mac, or vp4, or vp5, will run on this machine.
i've seen some copies on torrent services and some for sale at amazon. some torrent outfits seem dubious-lots of once-proprietory stuff that has been 'cracked' and pole-dancer-for-yr-desktop offers, some simply confuse/irritate me--four clicks and i still haven't found out what i'm supposed to do???
i had assumed that there might be a site like evolt, where there are download-able heaps and heaps of wonderful other older browsers, where i could find older virtualpc for mac, i looked on 'olderversions' &
all for now, cheers, mm

alas, aitch, i found one just like a day or two ago
they are updates to an existing install of version 7
look nice though, clear, polite expression of inability
to continue, my return with 7 welcome at any time.
two bits of better news though: i have to check
if hidden items are included in standard search
beause std search shows a clean house for a
search on virtual pc stuff --that's progress.
this is the second , better bit of news: i've been offered
a copy of virtual pc 5. i will sweep hidden files for snags.
thanks for looking. cheers, mm

the removal efforts have highlighted the fact
that in mintppc i continue to get no access notices
when i try to mount the mac partition: permission denied
it seems like i haven't found the needed data the way
/etc/fstab and/or /etc/mtab want it--no mount point for
the mac partition /dev/hda6 seems to be an issue; my
guesses don't trash the system but they don't solve the
partition access issue and i don't like 3 freezes, 2
'force quits', 1 hard restart and no further ahead.
help on this partition reading issue much apprecitiated

Post subject: virt-pup's first steps
Subject description: what it is
hooray, puppy linux is running, well, walking on this g4.
it is the first go and imminently tweakable: i used the 'express install'
rather than the 'custom'; i used the puppy version which was on a
handy cd rather than the racing demon version from puppy iso files
on another compu; [ i'll be giving tinycorelinux a try too] and i'm running
under mac os x 10.2.8 rather ther under os 9.2.2 which i could set to
the exclusive use-i think-of virtual pc.
i'm hoping that under custom install i'll be able to assign more than the 512 mb of ram which expess install seemed to allow...not got internet working yet , until speed is increased, internet will be nice to know how to do but not so nice to use.
tons of fun to come .... i wanted to post this good news though....
i came upon this tar of virtualpc 5 for mac in a quiet corner of the web
thank you very much. would also like to try a vpc4 for mac, or vpc6
anyway i'll keep you posted as the project progresses, regresses, transgresses..please feel free to offer advice, etc.
one thing must be said--that if i had spent the time getting to this point
learning that nifty chroot stuff,,,i would probably be past this point
because the chroot virtuality seems inherently quicker.
however, i'm getting to it, i had a bunch of fun/learning along this road
big cheers today, mm

Looking interesting....
Just a thought, qemu for ppc...whilst your playing
I'll keep looking for other VPC versions, meanwhile...
useful tips here
(may only work on IBM PPCs)
It seems the PPC MAC is regarded as 'dead' for development/virtual stuff
- too good to throw away, and I've pleaded for a PuppyMAC
and yet.... ppc mac on linux.... (they said it couldn't be done, didn't they...?)

thanks, aitch,
i'll give that list a good look; i'm trying to start another first go
out of virt-pc 5 for mac: i've seen on ebay the same version that
i'm using, with id number included, for 20$cdn = ~14gbpounds ,
delivered. i may do that.

i was able to get virtual pc5 for mac working, however,
though the speed of puppy is much greater than qemu
it is still not as quick as puppy is on the pentium 2, 266mhz, 160mb ram
compu. i'm trying to get the virtual pc running under classic 9, which is
supposed to be 25% faster but have not been able to get vpc to actually do anything under 9.2
it's time for me to take a look again at uml, mentioned in an earlier post:
'... user mode linux--UML--which is supported for ppc in debian
and has a useful looking website: /dev/loop.org.uk as well as a maintained spot on
sourceforge. it is supported in the linux kernel some kernels back. i think i'll have to post
a question there.'
i think that working off a current linux for ppc, mintppc, then using some
supported virtualization --uml-- will be more fruitful than the historical
re-creation i've been trying.

Post subject: oops
user mode linux is subject to the host cpu.
if it -uml-is set up on an x386 machine then
uml will run x386 linux. if uml is set up on a
powerpc machine then uml will run ppc linux.
no crossover. i'm sure it's fast at what it does
but run puppy on this g4 it will not.
however, ive found a trove of abandonware
and installed mac os 9.2.1. i still have virtual pc5
for mac and the trove included a vpc1,*, with
upgrades to vpc3 and 4, if the stuff behind the
labels works.
the further i get into this project the better i like puppy:
also the more i see the desirability of a puppy port to
the power pc architecture...i see a couple of things to help
that along---one is a good emulator to go our x386's nad ppc's
to create ppc virtual machine/s for development work..sheepsaver
is one that looks likely.
the other thing would be puppy running briskly on vpc on one
of the pre-mac osx's: mac os 9.2.2 or earlier. the earlier systems
were up to 20% faster due to more complex data-handling in
the os x series. if that brisk puppy comes to virtual life inside
virtual pc running on 9.2.1, then a fileimage can be created which
might also be useful in development work of a ppc port
anyway, cheers, mm

... is most probably OpenTTD. It's the same old Transport Tycoon kind of game - you think! Until you realize that the users have created tons of beautiful content including fully open source Grafics, Musics and Sound effects, but also new vehicles like the transrapid and tons of maps from all over the world! :)
This is one of these old style games created with lots of love and care, but
WARNING: it's highly addictive!
If you're under linux, you need to download the graphics package and unpack it into ~/.openttd. I wish the software would do that for you as well in the same way it downloads sounds, maps, extensions and everything else completely automatically!

When Barbara Rowan felt a lump in her left breast in October 2011, she thought nothing of it because she remembered a cyst being removed from her mother's breast when Rowan was a child. Her mother's cyst was not a big deal, and Rowan felt sure hers would not be either.
Located more on her chest than in her breast, it was a good-sized decent knot, though.
The Seagrove Beach resident scheduled a mammogram and as she drove to the hospital, she called her best friend and chatted on the way. Rowan reassured her friend that she felt sure it was a cyst just like her mother had.
Following the mammogram, the radiologist wanted to take it farther by having a sonogram done.
Rowan still thought nothing of it. She remembers sitting on the table swinging her legs and thinking about other things when the technician walked back in and asked if she had experienced any kind of blunt force to her chest. When Rowan said "No," she was told there was a 100-percent chance it was cancer.
"I was in shock," she said.
She remembers calling her friend on the drive home and telling her the news, but the hardest part was telling her daughter. She remembers her saying, "We will get through this."
A few days later, more tests gave Rowan's cancer a name. She had invasive lobular carcinoma. The invasive meant the cancer could spread, she was told.
Rowan's specific type accounts for less than 25 percent of all cancers, but hers was the aggressive kind.
Opting for a lumpectomy, surgery took place on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
"As they were wheeling me down the corridor to surgery, a voice came over the loudspeaker and led in the morning's prayer. I remember asking the nurse if the prayer was for me," she says now with a chuckle. "That was the last thing I remembered."
Her daughter Whitney was with her through the procedure and beyond. Whitney had just lost her job in Nashville two weeks prior to her mother's diagnosis and had moved to Seagrove to live with her while looking for a job.
"I don't know what I would have done without her. She was a great caregiver," said Rowan. "Everything happens for a reason."
After surgery Rowan was advised to take radiation and chemo as her oncotype DX score was a 28.
"I don't remember feeling that bad, but it was not a great time in my life," she says now, as she was also going through a divorce at the time. "The worst, though, was losing my hair, my eyelashes, and my eyebrows."
She bought a wig but only wore it once.
"It was cute, but didn't look like me," she said.
Instead, Rowan ordered a bunch of scarves and wore them.
"I got a lot of compliments on my scarves and that made me feel good."
Even though radiation did not make her tired, Rowan stayed in bed and slept a lot.
"My mind wouldn't allow me to believe I looked great, and I couldn't seem to get the happy, perky me back," she said.
Now, with two years behind her and a clean bill of health, Rowan says the best thing she got out of the experience was people showing her that she was loved � especially by her church family and other breast cancer survivors who called and invited her over.
"That helped me get myself back," she said. "Sometimes it is hard to just let people love you and just say 'thank you.'"
As for cancer, Rowan said it makes you appreciate the little things, such as sitting on her porch.
"I never feared for my life," she says now, "but I did fear the treatment."
The one thing cancer taught her is to eliminate stress from your life.
"I was under a great deal of stress when I was diagnosed, and I firmly believe stress makes you ill. I am still removing stress from my life," she said. "You have choices, and attitude helps."
While her ordeal is behind her, Rowan is aware that it could come back. However, she refuses to think about it or worry about that now. If it comes back, she will deal with it.
But one thing she does worry about even beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month is her daughter facing the same struggle.
"If I have a chance to talk to someone going through what I went through, I do, and I tell them 'you're going to be OK.' Hopefully it will help someone."

RFID controller with CC-Link
Pepperl+Fuchs introduced the IC-KP2-2HB18-2V1D IdentControl compact RFID Controllers with CC-Link communication. CC-Link is a common upper-level bus system used almost exclusively by Mitsubishi PLCs. These CC-link RFID controllers also support CC-Link V2. This functionality facilitates extended cyclic settings resulting in a large data map, making it easier and faster to read and write large amounts of information to the RFID system. These IP67 controllers are fully compatible with any Pepperl+Fuchs RFID read head for low frequency (125 kHz), high frequency (13.56 MHz) or ultra high frequency (915 MHz) operation.
"This two-head controller communicates to both read/write heads simultaneously. It also incorporates a new advanced RFID protocol that provides positive feedback to the user when a new tag has arrived, and allows for large read/write data blocks that are limited only by the read/write head's internal memory size," said Tim Cicerchi, Product Manager, Pepperl+Fuchs.
Pepperl+Fuchs RFID controllers also have powder-coated zinc alloy housing, which makes them suitable for rugged situations. M12 connectors facilitate quick connection of the read heads, power, CC-Link in, and CC-Link out cables. A Y cable accessory is available that enables the CC-Link RFID controllers to be daisy chained and hot swappable without disturbing other CC-Link devices on the network. Also, a terminator is available for applications where the CC-Link RFID controller is the last device in line.

Peggie Etheredge Johnson
Peggie Johnson
R.C., Kenneth Shuler's School of Cosmetology; B.A., W.L. Bonner College; M.A., Columbia International University, M.Ed., Columbia International University
Peggie is a native of Saluda, South Carolina and member of the graduating class of 1970 at Riverside High School. She is the wife of Richard S. Johnson, Jr. and will celebrate 43 years of marriage in August of this year. She is the First Lady of Cathedral of Faith Ministries in Irmo, S.C. and Charlotte, N.C., and serves as Director of Women's Ministries, Sunday school teacher, Supervisor of Children's Ministry, and in any other capacity as needed. Peggie and Richard are the parents of three sons: Richard LaMonte, Michael Ryan, and Joshua Johnson. They have two daughters-in-love: LaTanya and Nina Johnson, and five wonderful grandchildren: Richard Grant, Daniel Allen, Samuel Ryan, Nia Amarie, and Kendall Ashlyn.
Peggie came to CIU as a Seminary student in 2001. Choosing CIU was easy after reading the online love story of R.C. McQuilkin as he cared for his ailing wife. After graduation in May 2003, Dr. Rick Higgins recommend her for employment in the Field Education Department, where she became a Field Education Supervisor in August 2003. That November, she became the Director of Bible Clubs and held that position until May of 2009 when the department officially closed. In this position, she directed and supervised as many as 13 Bible Clubs per semester and instructed team leaders, teachers and mentors in cross-cultural Bible teaching and evangelism of children and youth at the Columbia, West Columbia, Cayce, and Hopkins sites. She was assisted at these sites by assistants Andre Melvin and later Brooks Heard and numerous CIU student workers.
In 2007, she was asked by Steve Auld to travel to Belize, Central America with CIU students, where God enlarged her heart and passion for ministry to children in other countries. She continues to lead CIU students to Belize each year during Spring Break. The trip to Belize also opened doors for Peggie and her husband Richard to lead small groups from their church to the village of Barancco, where they have adopted the Primary School in assistance with the school lunch program and other areas of needs in the school.
In August 2009, Peggie became the Director of Bible Field Experience in the College of Education under the leadership of Milt Uecker and continued to instruct and lead students in cross-cultural ministry to children and youth in their communities through EDU 2420. She has been a guest lecturer in many education classes on teaching African American children and Children of Poverty. In 2010 she became a Bible instructor at the Camille Griffin Graham Correctional Institution and now teaches courses in the Prison Initiative Associates of Art degree at Camille. After representing the College of Education at Francis Marion University's Children of Poverty Fall Workshop in 2010, she was invited to become a member of the Add-On Certification for Teachers of Children of Poverty task force, which passed SC state legislation in 2012.
Peggie is passionate about children in poverty and suffering children everywhere, and has many irons in the fire to meet those needs in America, Belize, West Africa, and South Africa. Her other passions include loving and seeking God's will, spending time with her awesome grandchildren, praying, evangelism, sewing, reading, learning and sharing dynamics of diverse cultures, especially African American.

WIC is committed to assisting mothers in establishing and continuing to breastfeed in the critical weeks after birth and beyond. WIC food packages provide incentives for initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.
WIC Benefits for Breastfeeding Moms and Babies
- WIC foods for the first year of breastfeeding
- Fully breastfeeding mothers receive more variety and larger quantities of foods, including a $10 cash-value voucher for fruits and vegetables.
- Fully breastfed infants receive more infant foods than non-breastfed infants beginning at six months of age
- See a Sample Food Package
- Targeted support services, which will continue for as long as they are needed beyond the first year
- Access to staff with training in lactation
- Peer Counseling Services (available in some local WIC agencies)
- Breast pumps for mothers returning to work or for mothers with other special needs
- Education materials and support
Changes with the new food packages to increase breastfeeding support include:
- No routine issuance of infant formula in birth month to breastfeeding infants. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first month is crucial for establishing an adequate milk supply. Supplementation with formula during that period could undermine breastfeeding's success.
- Compared to the previous food packages, partially breastfed infants receive less formula to allow mothers to feed more breast milk to their infants.
- New food packages distinguish between the fully breastfed, partially breastfed, and the fully formula fed infant. All infants will receive infant foods beginning at 6 months of age.
Breastfeeding Promotion and Support and the New Food Packages
Watch this short video "Partnering with WIC for Breastfeeding Success" to see how you can support breastfeeding moms.

YORK, Pa. – Roger Clemens is scheduled to pitch again for the independent Sugar Land Skeeters on Friday in Texas, but he doesn't expect to return to the majors this season.
"I don't see it happening. Everybody is speculating and everybody's got their own opinions, and that's great," Clemens said during a news conference Tuesday at Sovereign Bank Stadium, the home of the Atlantic League's York Revolution. "But it is still a lot of work. When I started warming up, playing a little lawn catch, I knew it was gonna be a little more work than I wanted."
The 50-year-old Clemens, who last pitched in the majors in 2007 for the New York Yankees, created a stir Aug. 25 when he threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings against the Bridgeport Bluefish before a sold-out crowd of more than 7,000 in suburban Houston.
Although it has been reported that he may pitch this season for the struggling Houston Astros, for whom he still maintains a personal-services contract, Clemens said he has no burning desire to return to the majors.
"No, I don't. I kind of take each day as it comes," Clemens said. "It's been mentioned and I have heard people mention it, but I'm nowhere close to being ready to pitch in a major league game."
He'll pitch in Sugar Land again Friday against the Long Island Ducks. But he was in York, an hour north of Baltimore, on Tuesday to throw a side session. The Skeeters and the Revolution are owned by the same group, which includes Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, who attended Clemens' press conference.
Fans could watch Clemens' side session if they purchased a ticket to the Tuesday's Revolution game. He arrived Monday night and signed autographs for a brief period before the Skeeters played.
"Most of our guys in Sugar Land now, some of them got the start here," Clemens said. "So I said no problem. It's been a great deal of fun for me and my family."
Clemens, who also spoke at a luncheon earlier Tuesday afternoon, joked with reporters on several occasions during his conference, saying that someone needed to stand in the batter's box during the side session, and that he would try not to plunk anyone.
"You can come in and stand in there if you want," Clemens said, chiding a reporter. "It only hurts for a minute. I know it might not be 95 [mph], but it will leave a mark."
Clemens, who won 354 games and seven Cy Young Awards in a 24-season career that has since been marred by performance-enhancing drug accusations and a very public perjury trial in which he was acquitted in June, also tackled questions about his legacy.
"My legacy, I did it for 24 years. I did it to the best of my ability and to the highest quality I could give," Clemens said. "So I'm not too concerned about my legacy. I went out there and performed. You talk to any of my teammates, they [won't] tell you any different. And that's what matters to me."
He also said he'd like to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, for which he'll be eligible for the first time next year, but he said he is not concerned about the Baseball Writers Association of America's decision.
"The Hall of Fame, there's bits and pieces of me there from games I've had. That's fantastic. The guys that are there, I respect greatly. ... It's kind of like your final resting place, if you will," Clemens said. "Having said that, I'm not going to go around shaking guys' hands and telling them I'm a Hall of Famer. My numbers are my numbers. That's what I did, so if they feel like I'm deserving or don't, I don't have any control over it. I don't have a vote or say so. ... It's not going to change my life either way."
He also dismissed the idea that he would try to make a major league comeback now so he can suspend the Hall voting for another five years, until the writers have more time to study his – and the steroid generation's – situation. Players must wait five years after retirement before inclusion on the ballot, so that clock would re-start if he played major league baseball this year or next.
"As far as pushing it back five years, I'm not even concerned about it. Not one bit," he said. "If I was going to do that, I'll pitch this year in the major leagues and then four years later I'll pitch again at 55 and then I'll pitch again at 60. I mean, come on."
Robinson, for one, said he believes Clemens will be inducted into the Hall of Fame eventually, but he's not sure when the call will come.
"I think he is certainly going to get it. Maybe not next year, I don't know," Robinson said. "I don't get a real feel for the writers. There seems to be a real deviation from one writer to another and so it's just really hard to say what's going to happen."

The latest definitive Guide to Better Care and Support, which provides information and advice to help the elderly and disabled stay as independent as possible, is now available from Hampshire County Council.
For those needing advice and support to manage their everyday life at home, the annual Guide to Better Care and Support explains who to contact and lists care providers throughout Hampshire.
It also provides practical information on all aspects of independent living, including: health matters, finance and funding, travel and transport as well as advice and information for carers.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health Councillor Liz Fairhurst, said:
"Today we are not only living longer but many of us are remaining healthier and more active. When the time comes that you need a little extra support it can be daunting and time consuming working out what help is available and what will best suit your needs."
"The Guide to Better Care and Support has been developed to make the whole process easier. It offers pointers on what to consider when looking for home care services, as well as providing useful information on a variety of topics that will help people to remain living as independently as possible for as long as possible, such as where to get help with day to day tasks and making homes safer through the use of the right equipment."
"If you know someone who needs guidance and information about living independently in their own home or moving to alternative accommodation then this guide is an essential read."
The new edition of the Guide is now available and can be viewed online

by Punchy » Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:09 pmJonathan Hickman continues his epic story here, and whilst I didn't enjoy this issue as much as the super-sized #1, this is still a good story, and it's a hell of a lot of fun seeing Hickman pay off a lot of his long-running plotlines.
This issue, much like the tie-ins in Avengers and New Avengers, is split into two parts, telling two different sides of the story. We open just above Earth, at SWORD's command station, where Thanos' army begins it's attack. We then get a quick recap of the events of last week's New Avengers, where Thanos' lieutenants, The Black Order, target each of the Illuminati members. I think it's interesting how Hickman is using the tie-ins here, as the events within them are shown here, but not in as great detail, I wonder what someone who is not reading either of the Avengers title would be able to comprehend about the story, I'd say reading them is a must, but maybe the recaps here are enough.
We then see something we haven't seen in a tie-in, and that's what happened when the Black Order confronts Black Bolt and the Inhumans. The confrontation between Corvus Glaive and well, not Black Bolt, but Medusa was very well-written, and what Glaive wants is very surprising, as he requests that the Inhumans kill every one of their member who is aged between 16 and 21, a bit like Herod, only not. I was initially confused by this, but the ending scene where Black Bolt calls the rest of the Illuminati into his pocket dimension where he can speak (it's always awesome when Black Bolt speaks) and says that the reason Thanos wants to kill all of these Inhumans is because one of them is his son. What the? Since when did Thanos have a son? I thought he was after the Infinity Gems? Man, just when you think Hickman is finally answering stuff, he asks more questions.
The other half of the story here is out in space with the Avengers taking on the Builders. I didn't like these scenes as much as the Earthbound ones, but it was cool to see Gladiator act like such a bad-ass, and the actions of the villainous Ex Nihilo were very shocking. The scale of both of the threats in this book is huge, and at this point, I still don't know how the Avengers are going to stop both the Builders and Thanos. Speaking of Thanos, he doesn't even appear in this issue, is anyone else surprised by how little he's actually been involved in this story so far? I like the Black Order fine, but there's nothing like the real deal.
The artwork here comes from Dustin Weaver and Jerome Opena, and it was very cool to seem them working with Hickman again, both of them have drawn issues of his Avengers recently, so they have an affinity with these characters and settings, and their realistic, detailed styles really work for such a bleak, sci-fi story.
Infinity really is developing nicely, especially because it's basically weekly, and also because it's that rare beast amongst superhero comics… it's unpredictable.
by Keb » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:49 pmYeah I didn't read Thanos Rising but is there something in it about his son?
by Flynn the Pirate » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:57 pm
Not expressly. In the mini, he fathered lots of kids across the galaxy. However, aside from Gamora, the series implied that he had killed all of them, along with the mothers.

And much like a lot of my complaints when it comes to Hickman, it's like he does things off panel or just expects the reader to put things together like when the other ex nihlo thing self destructs and everyone goes oh no but doesn't really explain whats happening as a result. The next panel is hyperion and thor taking alien babies.

It was cool because the Ex Nihilo guys are supposed to be the "life givers".

See from the exposition I wasn't sure if it was just that planet or an entire system?

I agree. Its like he is just hitting all the major plot points, but leaving out the rest of the story. There is no fluidity to it at all.
I do like what he is doing though, I just wish he would fill in the blanks.

I have to side with Namdrol on this, Buddhism is not incredibly interested in cosmological theories or creation mythologies. Hinduism and Abrahamic religions have tonnes of those stuffs, you can go and check them out. If you want an even more accurate ones, you can look them up in the latest science magazines.gad rgyangs wrote:
thats not fair. i am asking honest questions and expressing my perplexity with some aspects of this creation story. i don't see how anyone could not experience some perplexity with this story. your explanations are very clear and appreciated, but that doesn't mean its something to be just swallowed hook line and sinker without question.
Mahayana, especially Vajrayana, uses cosmological models either as metaphors for some profound teachings or as some hidden forms of visualization practices. We don't have to treat them too literally.........The same goes for Mahasiddhas' stories.....
Therefore KaDag ChenPo = basis = yeshe?The basis is original purity.
