iPad Pro Review
Apple announced the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which marketing chief Phil Schiller described as the ultimate upgrade for both existing iPad and Windows PC users. Nearly one week later, a number of in-depth reviews have surfaced that offer a closer look at the new tablet beyond last week's first impressions and hands-on articles. The general consensus among early reviews is that the smaller iPad Pro has powerful hardware, but like its 12.9-inch sibling, opinions were mixed about whether the tablet can truly replace your laptop. From $599, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is certainly a more affordable Mac or PC alternative over the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which starts at $799. iPad Pro is more than the next generation of iPad — it's an uncompromising vision of personal computing for the modern world. It puts incredible power that leaps past most portable PCs at your fingertips. It makes even complex work as na... Details
Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro Review
Lenovo has the most interesting tablet at IFA. It's a 10.1-inch Android tablet dubbed the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro, and it's built specifically for multimedia consumption. Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro's defining feature is its built-in Pico projector, which enables a 70-inch playback on a wall (it's also 20 inches larger than its predecessor's projection, the Yoga Tab 2 Pro). What's also impressive is its exceptional 2560 x 1600 display, which results in a density of 299 pixels per inch. This tablet display has excellent sharpness, as well as surprisingly vivacious color imaging, with special emphasis on the warmer part of the spectrum, which seems to be a shade more saturated than the rest of the palette. This makes makes for especially pleasant viewing. Sustainable contrast with pure whites and very dark blacks ... Details

I took the LSAT in December 2003 and received a 147. I had spent a year preparing for the LSAT and even with preparations I was not getting over 150 mark. I have a 3.5 GPA and I applied to Fordham, Pace, New York Law and Brooklyn. I was already rejected at Fordham (no surprise). What are my chances at this point with getting into the rest?Also at this point I have been working as a Paralegal for the past 10 years with 2 small children at home. My biggest concern is that if I go to NY law or Pace I may make less money coming out of law school than I currently make now.What are your thoughts.
Quote from: jim411 on January 10, 2005, 09:38:17 AMSt. John's is too far of a commute for me. It is a really good school. Cardozo does not have a part time evening program. Why not find a cheap place to rent? Then, you can ditch the car and walk to school. There's always a way, and sometimes the second way is the best.
St. John's is too far of a commute for me. It is a really good school. Cardozo does not have a part time evening program.
Since I'm about 1 1/2 hours from the nearest law school, I'm going to get an apartment or dorm near the school so I won't have to haul it home every night. That's the plan, now let's see if it works.

"gods, faith, worship or churches" is precisely what makes a belief system a religion. Here's an example: many Americans hold an exceptionalist view about America - that it is special, or even superior. The American flag is a special symbol, and the Anthem a special song. For some this belief system is lukewarm. For others it's downright fanatical. But it is not a religion. It would become a religion upon the assertion that America is God's special project and Americans are God's chosen people. But not until then - no matter how shrill or jingoistic the display of national fealty.
There are many things worth believing without necessarily having compelling evidence. When two people first fall in love, they believe that the beloved loves them, without putting the beloved through some special test or demanding a proof of love. It is, as it were, an article of faith. But when we say that the young man worships the girl with whom he is in love, we do so only metaphorically. She is not literally a goddess. She is only human - but a very special human. His love is a deep love based on faith, but it is not a religion.
What makes religion so odious is that it demands not merely a set of behaviors based on faith, but outright worship. A nation sends its youth to war, and some will die - really, based on faith - on the faith that only a national campaign of violence can forestall an even greater tragedy. This faith may be compelling or it may be foolish. It may be justified, or not. It is a great leap of faith, but the faith is about something demonstrably physical - the survival of a nation. There is no element of worship involved. The element of worship enters when the justification for war is that "we're fighting God's war". It is the infusion of worship that makes the campaign so odious.
Certainly, we who lack an adherence to church/synagogue/mosque/etc. are missing some potentially rewarding and inestimably uplifting human contact. We do not congregate on a regular basis to affirm our communal identify and to assert, however superficially, a mutual promise of neighborly support. This is sad. At its finest, church can be a place for older people to find caregivers to help bring meals when the afflicted is housebound; a place for young people to find potential marriage partners; a place for kids to meet other kids for playtime. By rejecting organized religion in a society suffused with religion, we largely reject access to the community. As atheists, or just non-religious people, we desperately need a worthy surrogate; not a replacement for the doctrinal functions of church, but its communitarian functions. But in so doing, we should not come to regard atheism as another religion, or even a quasi-religion. Religion makes of humans inhuman demands. Let us not, for feeling of inadequacy or regret, fall into the same trap.
I agree that many religion ask us to surrender, but not all of them, I don't see that in animism or totenism. I think that maybe the issue with religion is that automatically we tend to think it comes with things like worship, faith, church, gods, etc, but religion is only defined as a belief system, it doesn't have to involve gods, faith, worship or churches.
In your definition of atheism you mention a rejection of religious doctrine for their lack of evidence. But that's just what a religion is, a belief system, hence a set a claims without evidence. I agree that the burden of proof is on believers, but my atheism is not backed by evidence that there are no gods, so my atheism suffers the same lack of evidence.
All I'm saying is what if atheism was as organized as other world religions, what if we too presented our beliefs to the world as alternative to current (I would say limited) religions. Religions do cultivate a great sense of community, of belonging, with meaningful rituals and celebrations. We atheists (in my opinion) don't provide any real alternative to that, and I think that we should. We should have our own calendar with atheist celebrations, we maybe even should "worship" our heroes, the Darwins, the Neitzsche and Socrates, just maybe, we should evangelize others to our belief system.
As the fable goes, nobody cares about the Naked Truth, but if we dress the Naked Truth in the beautiful robes of parables and fables, then yeah, people will drink the cool aid. Until then, in my opinion, we'll always be the smart nerd with bad breath, yeah he's smart but nobody wants to talk to him.
Religion is not a bad word, it's just a belief system, and there will be a time when atheism will look like some old antic beliefs that future secular society will have overcome and moved on, the same way we atheists have moved on from antic abrahamic beliefs. Atheism as it exists today, in my opinion, is just a start, not the end of a new human paradigm, but it starts with accepting what we believe in, from what we know and have evidence of. imo.
No religion asks us merely to "believe" in some story or creed. All religions require a surrender of self, a surrender to something by definition beyond human comprehension and beyond physical realization. All religions teach that the individual human will is transitory, fraught with fundamental flaws, slouching towards hubris and ultimately towards self-defeat. All religions require a profound reorientation of world view, where ourselves and our works and our aspirations become a distant secondary, far behind focus of worship in the religion.
Atheism is not the rejection of the idea that "the spiritual" is possible. Atheism is the rejection of the claim that religious doctrines have sufficient evidence as to merit their espousal. All beliefs, all modes of behavior, have a cost-benefit ratio. I can focus on my career, or on my family, or on my hobbies, or on my exercise program, or on playing video games. These are all choices, and are largely mutually exclusive. Some choices are clearly better than others. Other choices are far harder to distinguish in merit from competing choices. But all have an opportunity-cost. Atheism posits that religious worship has a cost that overrides its benefits, that however much we improve ourselves through the humility or charity that religion enjoins, on the whole we worsen ourselves and our lives.
There is much that is beautiful about religion. But that does not make it true, or even compelling in the hypothetical.
Atheists to no worship themselves; we deny the very concept of worship, and therefore atheism can not be a religion. It can be a mindset, or even a fashion. It can and unfortunately does commit evils of its own. But it is not a religion.
Gareth, I really enjoyed your "in depth" response for which I am very greatfull. And if I did strike a chord, I appologise. I could have been an atheist 2000 years ago, so from my angle science has never featured as the deciding factor. As an atheist I respect freedom of thought and so I respect the religionist and his belief. After all what would be the point of putting them down since I as an atheist am confident that we are all going the same way after death. So whatever you choose to believe is your bussiness. Its just that much more rewarding to grow daily in the truth. And even though I say this I know its controversial but I'm confident on my life that atheism is truth.
I feel atheists are not agnostic when it comes to the "God of Abraham" set of religions. However if you want to call us agnostic because we realize that there could be an inteligence bigger than the Universe (technically speaking) and not supernatural well then maybe it requires some debate.
@Colin, I didn't see your comment before. Don't worry too much about my 'lack of depth', I don't hold a PhD in all things atheist, I just think that we as atheists are often marginalized by mainstream media, often attributed a mouth piece that does not represent the variety of opinions within the movement. I don't think there's one way to be an atheist, and just because my views on the subject differs from yours don't automatically mean that I lack a depth of understanding.
My atheism is rooted in philosophy, I see atheism as a worldview that is rooted in materialism, hence on a reliance on the scientific method and empirical evidence to define reality. Yet I do not dismiss spirituality, I also believe in immaterial reality that cannot (at least for now) be backed by evidence. Now a lack of evidence is not the same as evidence of non-existence. Therefore my atheism is not one that look down on believers for lacking evidence in what they believe in, my atheism only promotes one amongst many way to define reality.
My atheism is not a tag that I wear, not it is a category I fit in, it's a philosophy, a spirituality, a journey towards the truth. I have friends and family that have different world views than mine, but I do not condescend them for having a different worldview than mine. I don't think atheism is some kind of absolute truth, hell, I can see 50 years down the line people condescending atheists the same way atheists currently condescend believers. It's all relative.
I don't mind being in disagreement, I like to argue, share my ideas, and improve them by listening to others. When we assume than others who don't share our views are wrong, then I think we miss on opportunities to challenge ourselves, our views, and overcome our own limitations.
To me, what Alain de Botton has done, was simply to show that not every thing religious is bad, that there is a difference between atheism and anti theism, and that when we are not blinded by a hatred for all things religious, that there are elements in religion that we can borrow. Sun Tzu said it best, know yourself and you will not defeated, know yourself and the enemy, and you will win a thousand battles. If we don't acknowledge what religions are good at, then we're no better than them.
if you want to argue about atheism and religion, then we can start with the following:
Can you prove that God doesn't exist? If not, while the burden of proof is on believers, to accept a claim without evidence is to accept a belief. Agnosticism is the only 'reasonable' position. Atheism to me (obviously not to most atheists) is a belief based on a long philosophical tradition. Now to go from a belief to a religion is a simple matter of organization. That atheism lacks such an organizing structure (again, to my point of view) is a weakness, not a strength. But feel free to follow with your views on the matter.
Gareth......please. I don't enjoy being in disagreement, but on this site I find an atheist mind that is suspect of depth. Atheism is a realization. It doesn't require brainwashing in order to ensure its ongoing existence. To treat it as a religion will only make a mockery of the movement. Think outside the box. We have in our grasp a unique opportunity. I feel greatly encouraged by what I read from atheists in the sites i've visited. We think the same. we have more in common than religionists internationally and no brainwashing was involved. Yes I do miss an atheist society in my area and more atheist friends, however the power of cyberspace atheism can be quite significant.
I see. thanks Paula. I'm an amature musician myself and appreciate the attraction.
Hi Colin! I'm not a particularly closeted atheist. I don't go to church to attend services; when I am in churches, it is usually because I am being paid to be there (I am a professional musician, and can be providing music for services, or playing concerts in churches during off-hours).
That being said, I often find traditional churches to be very beautiful--the older the better; cathedrals are especially awesome. I love a lot of the "trappings" but loathe the lies the institution is built on. Does that help clarify my position?
Paula, Am I hearing you right. You go to church to appreciate the historical significance. and so, you are a closet atheist. To me this shows utter disrespect towards the "reason why people are suppose to go to church in the first place". This action undermines the integrity of the establishment and thereby probably infringes on its creed principals of membership. Surely you know as an atheist that deciept has been one of our enemies. Lets not take over the religionist religion through deciept.
I know i'm coming on strong but heh lets enjoy some good debate. I.m open. By the way I suppose you gather that I also don't go along with TED.
Got one. Naturalistic Pantheism. The Universe as divine. You get the awe and woo-feeling of embracing the beauty of nature, without the hang-ups of a true deity. It's more sublime than ethereal.
Sometimes, I miss the community of church, from my childhood, or even the like-minded appreciation of nature from pagan friends... but I find I can get in touch with those feelings whenever I want and not trump them up so much. I get the same feelings when I learn something new, especially about our universe.

Will Your Crop Insurance Claim Be Large Enough For An Audit?Tweet
If you are a Cornbelt farmer, and have corn or soybeans covered by crop insurance, there is a strong possibility you may have a claim to file for either loss of production or revenue. With an estimated $20-30 billion to be paid this year in crop insurance indemnity checks, both the USDA's Risk Management Agency and the crop insurance companies have to ensure that all claims are valid, and have made it well known that anyone with a claim of more than $200,000 will be subject to an audit. But how do you prepare for an audit? What records do you need? Here are answers to your questions.
The auditing process should not be considered as a witch hunt, and anyone audited should not consider themselves as being suspected of financial shenanigans. The audit is something required by law and is part of the crop insurance process as much as signing and dating your application for coverage. Additionally, it might be said that anyone farming for multiple landowners, and under the scrutiny of a farm manager, may already have all of the required information at hand. For many farms with good record keeping systems, those documents and data will likely satisfy the audit process. Different companies may handle the audit in different ways, but the following information comes from one of the largest crop insurance providers and will be close to what the others require as well.
The audit will come after your harvest, and possibly after you have either used or disposed of some or all of your grain. Subsequently, data will depend on where the grain remains or its means of disposal: farm stored, commercially stored, sold to another end user, or fed on the farm. Data will be needed from the 2012 crop, along with that of the prior two years.
Data needed for farm stored grain:
Measurement of grain in bins will help determine total production, and measurement can be done by FSA staff or a third party approved by your insurance company. Your insurance company may have a worksheet which will be handy in completing that process. The data will need a measurement of the structure, the insurance units involved, the FSA farm numbers that produced the grain, and a legal description of the field.
If the grain was weighed before it was stored on the farm, a certified scale must be used and the scale tickets will be handy. Such scales should be non-portable farm scales or commercial elevator scales. A grain cart with a scale can be used, if the scale prints a ticket, and if the integrated display panel shows the weight, and if the grain cart is available for inspection to determine its capacity. Since the tickets fade over time, they should be photocopied to help with the permanency of the information.
Acceptable weight tickets from each load must be provided. Federal Crop Insurance Corporation requires:
1. Insured's Name
2. Load Number or Ticket Number
3. Crop
4. Gross Weight
5. Tare Weight
6. Date Weighed
7. Net Weight of Production
8. Field Identification from which the production was harvested for correlation with the unit number of the stored crop.
9. Identification and/or Location of farm-storage structure in which the load(s) are stored and/or satisfactory explanation of disposition of the production, if any or all of the production is no longer stored at the time of inspection.
The copies of the scale tickets must accompany the information about the storage structure or the settlement sheet, showing total production.
There are also some other acceptable records that can be used to help sort out the correct information. Those include records from combine monitors or load records that can be used to pro-rate measured production. Many data books carried by farmers can also be used if they show regular updates of daily information and identify the unit and field number, date of harvest, truck or wagon used to haul the grain and the estimated bushels on the load.
Load records can be adjusted for moisture, but that calculation will be compared by the adjustor to the calculated production.
If you use combine monitor records, they should be printable, and showing the location of the field, field identification and unit numbers, the name of the crop and the date, along with bushels.
Data needed for grain commercially stored or sold:
If your grain went to the elevator, production records must reflect all of your production. If you sold your grain to a feed lot or other end user it must reflect the weight from either the buyer or from a third party such as an elevator or commercial scale operator. Grain that was either stored or sold to an elevator must be accounted for on storage sheets or settlement sheets, which include the name and address of the buyer, the name of the insured producer, and information for each load that identifies the crop, the gross weight, the tare weight, and the date weighed. Also the sale or settlement sheet should include the unit number and farm serial number which can be handwritten, as well as percent of foreign material, moisture percentage, and test weight. If any load information is missing, those loads will not be credited.
Loads of grain cannot be split between insurance units, since that is considered co-mingling. Individual scale tickets must be supported by other documentation, such as a third party ledger or settlement sheet from a buyer or commercial warehouse.
Data needed for grain being fed on your farm:
A formal written record system of insured grain that is fed to livestock must be maintained. Your crop insurance agent will have a suggested record system from the USDA's Crop Insurance Handbook, and that completed record must be submitted with a claim.
If the fed grain was stored on the farm, and bin measurements were taken by your adjustor, those will need to be included with the claim. It must indicate the insurance units involved, the FSA farm numbers involved and the location of the fields where the grain was harvested.
The information needed by the adjustor will include the amount of grain fed daily, the bin from which the grain was removed, the number and specie of livestock, the estimated average weight of the livestock, as well as the location and identifier of their pen, the number of the insurance unit from which the grain was fed, and whether the grain was fed in previous years, and whether it was fed from the bin or from directly from the field.
The drought and its impact on crop production mean that many farmers will be filing claims, and many of those will involve large indemnity payments. Payments over $200,000 will be audited as a matter of recourse by insurance companies. Many farmers will already have the necessary records that will be needed to verify production and their claim, whether the grain is stored, sold to an end user, or fed to livestock on the farm. Insurance companies will provide worksheets, but supplemental documents such as scale tickets, settlement sheets, and even reports produced by combine monitors and grain carts can all be used for the audit.

1. Chocolate Peanut Butter S'mores
This decadent treat is sure to please. To make this, you are going to need chocolate wafers or chocolate graham crackers, peanut butter ( smooth or chunky, it's up to you), and of course, marshmallows. Toast you marshmallow to your liking, I like mine burnt a bit. On one wafer place a glob of peanut butter, then take your toasted marshmallow and place it on top of the peanut butter. Place the second wafer on top and there you have a peanut butter chocolate s'more. I would have some napkins or paper towel on hand, as this could get a little messy.
2. Ginger Caramel S'mores
Looking for a s'more with a little kick? This is the s'more for you. Aside from the marshmallow, you are going to need two gingersnaps and caramel filled chocolate square. My brand of choice would be Ghirardelli. Place your chocolate square on top of one of the gingersnaps then take your toasted marshmallow and put it on top. Place the other gingersnap on top of the marshmallow and you have a s'more with a little spice. This is my personal favorite…chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, and ginger….what more could you want?
3. Nutella Banana S'mores
Love Nutella? Love s'mores? Then what could be better than combining the two to make a delightful desert? This s'more is definitely one you are going to want to try. You can use regular graham crackers or if you are looking for something more unique ( and more calories ) you can use peanut butter cookies. Toast your marshmallow as usual, and on one peanut cookie place a gob of Nutella on the flat side. You can use as much or as little as you want, just have some napkins on hand since Nutella tends to melt quickly. Once you've got your Nutella on there place a 2-3 pieces of sliced banana on top. Then comes your marshmallow and second cookie. This is a pretty over the top s'more, but here at Harry's we believe in trying everything at least once….especially when it involves desert.
If you're not going to be outdoors Saturday or can't have a bonfire look up recipes for s'mores bars or s'mores brownies. There is even something called s'mores dip! Whatever you pick, just make sure a marshmallow is involved. If you need a fire starter to get that bonfire going or camp utensils Harry's has what you need. Have a sweet weekend!

Charity Shop Bargain Brings Back Happy Memories
The first book was the Sasha Kagan Sweater Book, I can remember borrowing this from the library in Stepney (back in 1984 it would have cost me a 1/12th of my weekly wage) and dribbling over the amazing pictures of garments knitted in a Fair Isle style. This was the first time I had seen this technique used to create fabulous pictures and back then the cardigan that I wanted to make was the Winter Scotties cardie... even if it was in 2 ply... yes, you read that right 2 ply! I never got to make it but there is a Scottie dog beret which even now is tempting me, although I think I might give the leg-warmers a miss!
The other book was The Sweater Book and excluding some of the shoulder pad heavy patterns, a number of them would translate really well into designs for 2011... although I am not sure I would submit a child to this!
So I thought you might like to see a couple of items I made back then from Patricia Roberts patterns... the first is a Sampler Sweater which I made in 1985, I bought the pattern and wool from her old shop in Covent Garden as a Christmas present to myself as I was going to be spending Christmas on my own, I remember having to wind up the skeins of wool into balls using my dining chairs to hold the wool! It was the first time I had ever knitted from a chart and I worked into the night so that I could see the yacht, house, the night sky and the tree developing. Although I have to admit the extra long cable between main sweater and the bodice still bugs me...
And the next is the Bow Tie cardigan, an absolute classic of the 1980s down to the shoulder pads which I used wear with black leggings and a black felt hat, and I thought I looked the bees knees, fortunately for me, no pictures survive!
I have realised that both these pieces are over 25 years old, but on searching for them, I discovered my first ever completed piece of clothing... An Aran cardigan made when I was 11 and my mother thought I should be kept busy as I was off school for a month with Glandular Fever.
Oooh when looking for my old pattern book I found a UFO (UnFinished Object) a Patricie Roberts cardigan using blackberry stitch to simulate bunches of grapes... and some of the skeins are not even wound up... it must be over 25 years since I started it... I think it might need finishing, what do you reckon?

My son would fill the pocket on that child's jumper to bursting point - he thinks pockets are amazing!
Did you have the hair to match the jumpers?

Thanks for the memories.
I too wore a wonderful selection of 1980's jumpers. My best was a zig zag effect in mohair in grey and red. They were not compatible wools and the red shrunk up in the wash, but I simply stretched it until it was down to my knees. I absolutely loved the thing.

From one Ros to another! I too am a charity shop trawler and find the occasional gem among the dross including The Harmony Guide to Knitting Stitches volumes 1 and 2 in South Croydon recently. Daughter has laid claim to these as I already have the Odhams knitting collection which include much info on stitches. Love the sampler sweater and the bow tie one!

That brought back memories - I had The Sweater Book too!
Charity shops are brilliant for odds and ends like buttons and yarns - especially with the demise of the local 'knitting shops'

Hi Ros, just discovered your blog! I'm not a great knitter....pretty good at it, but very slow, so I get bored! It was my mum that I always went to for knitting, and she knitted constantly. ~This p0ost was a trip down memory lane for me too! Loved it!

I've got something with eye's and flowers, as you will notice when I upload more work. This one is, clearly, inspired by the Tarot card with the same name. It's a 100% watercolour painting.
I wanted to join up with a surrealism group here, but I'm not sure if this would fit in there. I always call it surrealism, but isn't it more somewhere on the borderline between surrealism and fantasy art?
With this I've introduced the 3 main areas of my artistic endeavors on to RB: still life photography, travel photography and watercolor paintings. I'm calling it a day.
detail at 100%
I would also like to focus your attention on RosaCobos incredibly beautiful and inspirational comment on this painting:
I can see that he sees….
I can feel that he is there waiting to open the egg of his own destiny.
But The Foold has not a destiny and he knows it!
The Eye…. peeing wide and wild the intensity of Life,
hidden behing the feminity of the flower..is tender and penetrating,
but not as much as he would love..
noone takes him seriously,
excepting the wise..
for you know. that famous quote…"The Fool that persists in his foolishness…..becomes wise"…….just I ponder about it.. and how come the wise can notice this…if his own wisedom makes him disregard such a vanity?

Consequently the requirement to neither know nor name God in terms of presence traverses the entirety of Christian theology. (a) It appears in the Apologists of the second century - first Justin Martyr: "No one can utter a name for the ineffable God;" then Athenagoras: "Hear this, oh man: the form of God cannot be uttered, nor expressed and eyes of flesh do not have the power to see it." (b) Likewise, it shows up in the first of the Alexandrians - take the Christians, first Clement "the First Cause is not in space, but above space and time and name and conception ... For our interrogation bears on the formless and invisible"; "invisible and incapable of being circumscribed"; "the invisible and ineffable God." Then Origen: "God is incomprehensible and incapable of being measured." Consider also Philo, the Jew: "It is a great good to comprehend that God is incomprehensible in terms of his Being and to see that he is invisible." (c) And also Athanasius: "God is good and the friend of men.... By his nature, he is invisible and incomprehensible, residing beyond all begotten essence." (d) Basil clearly indicates the paradox with this remark: "[K]nowledge of the of the divine essence involves sensing His incompressibility." (e) And there is nothing surprising in the fact that Gregory of Nyssa should have repeated it almost word for word: "This is the true knowledge of what is sought [sc., seeing the invisible and incomprehensible God] - ; this is the seeing that consists in not seeing, because that which is sought transcends all knowledge, being separated on all sides by incompressibility as by a kind of darkness." (f) John Chrysostom parses it in a slightly different form: "All the while knowing that God is, he [Saint Paul] does not know what his essence is," for "the essence of God is incomprehensible." (g) Of course John of Damascus comes next: "No one has seen God. The only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father has himself taught this. The divine is ineffable and incomprehensible" (h) Nothing different from Augustine: "God the highest, who is known better than knowing." (i) Nor from Bernard: "Non ea disputatio comprehendit, sed sanctitas: si quo modo tamen comprehendi potest quod incomprehensibile est." (k) Nor even from Thomas Aquinas, for whom seeing as "what God himself is remains hidden and unknown," it is necessary that man knows how to unknown. Thomas therefore comments on the principle advanced by Dionysius in perfectly appropriate terms: "[W]hat the substance of God is remains in excess of our intellect and therefore is unknown to us; on account of this, the highest human knowledge of God is to know that one does not know God." Without continuing ad infinitum with this anthology of citations, it seems legitimate to admit as a fact still to be explained that at least for the Church Fathers theology does not consist in naming God properly, but in knowing him precisely as what cannot be known properly - what must not be known, if one wants to know it as such.

Frankfurt Members interested in innovation?
Hi all,
if you are interested in innovation, our group "Innovation Forum" may be for you.
There are >400 members across the world so far. It would be nice to have enough people from Frankfurt, so that it actually makes sense to have offline meetings as well.
Just have a look, It is an open group, so anyone can join. And don't forget to post sth about yourself in the "members' personal introduction" topic and then start posting. Innovation doesn't happen just by watching.
As soon as there are enough Frankfurt members, we'll try to organise a meeting. But if you beat us on this: there is also an "event" topic where you can post it.
here's the link; Protected content
looking forward to see you there

TURLOCK, Calif. — A gas station in this Central Valley town used to sell souvenir hats that read: "Turlock — Known for Absolutely Nothing."
That was before hometown boy Colin Kaepernick went from being a third-string quarterback to leading the San Francisco 49ers into Sunday's Super Bowl.
Now Turlock is swarming with tourists.
They are dropping into Christina's Coffeehouse for a Kaep of Joe, eating Kaepernick Dogs (chili, coleslaw, jalapenos and special sauce) at Footers on Main Street and ordering a No. 7 Kaepernick Special at the Dust Bowl — a jalapeno burger served with a red-gold ale.
At Lisa's Cookie Jar, they are buying dozens and dozens of red, football jersey-shaped cookies with the quarterback's name in white icing.

Joshua 24: 1-2a, 15-17, 18b Ephesians 5: 21-32 John 6: 60-69
The Italians have a saying of indispensable insight. Se non é vero, é ben trovato. "If it's not true, it's well found." Some stories possess a truth that transcends mere facts. With that in mind, here's one from an Italian actor. Frank Langella shares it in his new memoir Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women As I Knew Them (2012). It appears just after he recounts meeting the Queen Mother at Royal Ascot, wearing a bright green sport coat rather than, the expected, morning dress. Langella, that is. The Queen Mother was impeccably turned out. Langella writes:
I hope this next story is true. It was told to me by an attendant at the Palace Theatre in London, where Yul Brynner was appearing; most likely, his one millionth performance of The King and I. It seems the Queen and the Queen Mum were having words at intermission when being escorted into a private waiting room. The Queen was compulsively nattering on about something that was disturbing her. Finally, I was told, the Queen Mum turned to the Queen and said: "Elizabeth, stop it! Who do you think you are?" (218).
If this petite contretemps, between royal mother and daughter, did occur, it was set in a lifetime of deep mutual affection and support. According to Sally Bedell Smith's new biography, Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch (2012), if they weren't together, a day almost never passed without the Queen phoning her mother for a long conversation. So, if the Queen Mother did put her daughter in place with, "Who do you think you are?" the slightly exasperated question was posed with love.
Of course the irony, the ben trovato factor, is that, if anyone should know who she is, it's Queen Elizabeth. At least, that is, if knowing one's identity is about titles, roles, and job expectations, about degrees, honors, and wealth. But the Queen Mother bespoke a deeper wisdom with her question. She reminded her daughter not of the roles that she plays but of the very relationships that form her as a person. The implied, extended query runs something like this: "I am your mother. The one who has been with you from the beginning. As you speak to me now, like this, to whom are you speaking? Who do you think you are?"
The Israelites are told to make a choice. It's one of the few that matter in life, because it's not about things. It's about accepting or rejecting a personal relationship. "If it is displeasing to you to serve the Lord, choose today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are dwelling. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." (Jos 24:15) The choices that matter most are not about where or how we will spend our time, filling out our hours with their appointed tasks. What we choose to do in life isn't nearly so important as with whom we choice to do it.
For example, it's a challenge, but many people, at some point in their lives, choose to change everything about what they do in life. But no one can completely change who he or she has become in life by means of the relationships that quite literally form our identities. Fathers and Mothers do live on in their children. So do lovers and friends. Relationships are the marrow of human life. They determine who we are, who we will be. Granted, many of the most crucial we do not choose, but what frightful responsibility, what awesome weight, attaches to the ones we do. "For this reason a man shall leave father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh" (Eph 5: 31).
After Jesus presented his own self as the Bread of Life — literally the relationship upon which all else hangs — many of those who had followed him with interest took their leave. They had come seeking an agenda, a program of action. He offered them a relationship, a love in which they could live.
Joshua poses the only question that truly matters. "With whom will you live?" Or, as the Queen Mother puts it, "Who do you think you are?" And Saint Peter responds for our human race. Seeing so many depart, Jesus turns to his disciples and asks, "Do you also want to leave?" (Jn 6: 67) And Peter answers, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God" (Jn 6: 68-69).
We were created to choose the Christ, to root ourselves in the relationship that God offers, but choosing Christ is ultimately about clinging to life-giving relationships, not rituals or the recitations of words. (These matter, but as expressions of a relationship.) Find Christ in the loves life offers, and you've found it all.
"Decide today whom you will serve" (Jos 24:15)
"Do you also want to leave?" (Jn 6: 67)
"Who do you think you are?"
The question comes in many forms, but only one answer matters. "I am yours."
Rev. Terrance W. Klein
Your questions are lovely; they call us forth into spirited possibility, but I note that you do not include a query for Paul's snippet. So, in fitting with your theme, I consider, what should the question be? What question of love-in-relationship (with whom will you live?) yields from this reading?
Of course, for many in the pews today, this reading is more or less a text of (involuntary?) submission, one over another based soly on the gendered relationship of marriage. Subjection, headship, alignment of husband with Christ and wives as the church, sinful, with the need to be sanctified, bathed.
Perhaps, to redeem this reading for contemporary folks we might want a new translation which frees the text which has been used as a blunt instrument for centuries in order that we might hear with new ears what this reading calls us to.
Here's what the Inclusive Language Lectionary (Quixote Center) renders:
Defer to one another out of reverence to Christ.
Those of you who are in relationships should yield to each other as if to Christ, because you are part of each other, just as Christ is part of the body, the church, as well as its Savior. As the church yields to Christ, so you should yield to your partner in everything. Love one another as Christ loved the church. He gave himself up for it to make it holy, purifying it by washing it with the Gospel's message, so that Christ might have a glorious church, holy and immaculate, without specks or wrinkles or anything of that sort.
You should love one another as you do your own bodies. Those who love their partners love themselves. Observe that no one ever hates one's own flesh; one nourishes it and takes care of it as Christ cares for the church – for we are members of Christ's body.
This is why one person leaves home And cleaves to another, And the two become one flesh.
This is a great foreshadowing; I mean that it refers to Christ and the church."
How is it that the second translation opens us up to the glorious blessedness of intimate relationships?
If this is the translation we hear, we might be happy in the ways our love relationships are like Christ and the people of God, and we might not need to rush past this often ill-used reading, thinking there is not a question here that fits the theme.
If this new understanding is rich with possibility what might a question for Ephesians be?

Audi A8L
There's almost room for a game of tennis doubles in the back of the new A8L, but since this is an Audi with Quattro all-wheel drive and a V8 in the nose, it's more sports limo than prom parade float.
The A8L is not alone in blending this somewhat unlikely combination of disparate attributes to produce a car that appeals to both the helmsman and the people cruising in serene comfort in the aft lounge deck. We won't count the Lexus LS460L, which aims above all for round-edged comfort, and the one-length-fits-all Mercedes S550; but there are also stretched versions of both the BMW 750i and the Jaguar XJ (see BJT's June/July 2009 and December 2010/January 2011 issues for reviews of both cars in their standard length).
Compared with these two notably good interpretations of the stretched car as spacious, spirited roadliner, the Audi offers the best value at $88,375. That was the sticker price of the car we tested (lower than the tags for both the 750Li and XJL), and it was not far above the A8L's $84,875 base price.
Press-fleet cars tend to be decked out like the model home in a new development for maximum gadgetry and salability, but this particular A8L was surprisingly stripped, its list of absent options far outnumbering those installed. The test car had the $2,300 "drive select plus package" (sports rear differential and dynamic steering) and $1,200 20-inch wheels shod with 265/40R20 Dunlop SP Winter Sports tires. However, "stripped" is a relative term when a car comes with as much standard equipment as this one does: adaptive air suspension, electronic stabilization, navigation system with multimedia touch control and retractable screen, Bose HD radio with SiriusXM, iPod integration, 18-way power heated front seats, glove-compartment cooling, glass sunroof, power sunshades in all rear windows, power trunk operation and power soft-close doors.
Among the missing options (none of which I yearned for from the driver's seat) were a cooler in the rear center seatback, cabin-air ionizer, lane assist, side assist, night vision, fog lamps in the front, advanced parking system and reclining rear seats with massage. Adaptive cruise control was about the only absentee I would have appreciated.
Producing 372 hp at 6800 rpm and 328 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm, the Audi's Hungarian-made V8 has the least poke of the aforementioned stretched sporting contenders but it is more than adequate to motivate this 4,350-pound middleweight. (The Jag is the lightest, most powerful and quickest from zero to 60, the BMW the heaviest, "torquiest" and slowest to 60.) It does so through an impressively capable ZF eight-speed Tiptronic transmission (two more gears than the other cars).
This eight-speed box contributes both to the impression of power with a demanding right foot and to the remarkable mileage that can be achieved with a disciplined right foot. On my 63-miles-each-way daily commute, the A8L returned 31 mpg on a light-traffic run conducted mostly at 60 mph under the miserly supervision of cruise control. By way of comparison, my daughter's small but well engineered U.S./Japanese economy car–relatively speaking, a soapbox with a go-kart engine–got only eight mpg more on the same run.
However, enjoy the power at the beck and call of your right foot, and the Audi's mpg drops commensurately, to EPA ratings of 17 city/27highway/21 combined. Our test average for the A8L was 18.6 mpg. If the V8 strikes you as short on grunt, consider the A8L with 500-hp/460 lb-ft W12 (price yet to be announced as BJT went to press).
Other than the steering, I had no complaints about the car's handling. Overall, the A8L moves with a sprightliness that belies its bulk. Only a glance over the shoulder will tell you how much car is along for the ride downwind of the bridge. The A8L is 5.2 inches longer than the standard A8, and the rear-seat passengers' legs are the beneficiaries of all of it.
The steering, though, was twitchy to the point of mild concern for the first few miles I drove the car while I adjusted to its feel. Switching to a sportier driving mode in the Audi's menu of handling options seemed to help, but perhaps this switch coincided with my getting used to the flightiness of the steering. Other reviewers have said they saw no difference in the sensitivity of the steering regardless of the driving mode.
Had I strapped into the Audi after a week in my daughter's Civic, perhaps the A8L's steering would have seemed fine, but it threw my M5-attuned reactions and control inputs off balance.
In the hardware department, the A8L's body is an aluminum-alloy space frame and shell for strength and light weight, and the quality of the interior is every bit as impressive as a top-end business jet's in terms of the hides, workmanship and fit and finish. The car rides on air suspension that does a good job of catering to the disparate demands of the people occupying the bridge and the aft lounge deck. It dances well when the driver raises the tempo and it absorbs road imperfections and stabilizes the ride admirably once this roadliner settles into devouring a large helping of miles. It can raise the entire car an inch to boost ground clearance should brief excursions onto rough road be necessary, and it can lower the body 0.78 inches below normal when in dynamic mode or when traveling at highway speeds.
There's fancy software inside the solid hardware, too. Audi's MMI (multimedia interface) allows the driver to deliver commands to the nav, car and phone functions by writing with a fingertip on a small pad near the transmission shifter. Speaking of which, the shifter makes it harder for the driver to nail reverse or drive than it should be, so be sure you've developed the correct touch before attempting a three-point turn if there's an 18-wheeler on the move anywhere in the same township.
"Grace, space, pace" was Jaguar's slogan of yore, and it's fitting for this car too, but Brand MB is the one squarely in Audi's sights, with a marketing campaign that portrays the
S-class as the carriage of yesteryear for creaky old money. Each to his own. Drive them all before you choose, because they each use a different recipe to produce similar dishes.

About Squaw Valley
Voted at North America's best ski resort in 2016 and host of the 1960 Winter Olympics, the Squaw Valley legacy has maintained a vibrant ski culture and mountain energy that spans from village to peak. Its spirit of outdoor adventure is reflected by the views of Lake Tahoe's translucent waters, and its inspiration is carved into the slopes of the Sierra mountains. Beginners will find forgiving learning zones set among dramatic alpine scenery, while varied trails, bowls and chutes mean that skiers and snowboarders will never outgrow Squaw's progressive terrain. With consistent snowfall that stays around well into the spring, Squaw Valley boasts one of the longest ski and snowboard seasons in the country.
A wonderful mountain with terrain for all ages, ski and snowboarding levels. My children have been skiing Squaw and Alpine for 3 season now. Winter time comes around and they are there with big smiles every weekend (and day they have it off from school), but when it comes time to leave they always want 'just one more run.'" — Samantha H., Reno (Yelp)
Even though this is a mecca for extreme skiers/riders, you don't have to be a stunt skier to enjoy the terrain. Those of you that like to keep the sticks or board in contact with the snow can also take pleasure in Squaw Valley. There is terrain for everyone from gnarly to nice, from tough to tame, and from scary to sedate." — Adonis V., Sacramento (Yelp)

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Today when I saw the stuttering/low frame rate issue instead of doing a quick reload I decided to take another look at the system. What I found was the Xine_Player process was using ~37% of the cpu and had used 184+ CPU minutes. I killed that process (ssh in from another computer) and as expected the currently playing movie stopped and it took me back to the main menu. I restarted the same movie and this time it played fine and Xine_Player cpu use is bouncing between 1% and 6%. I'm not sure if Xine_Player is supposed to exit after each movie and isn't, or of there is some other issue but the problem is definitely with Xine_Player. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Xine_Player is a binary not a wrapper script so it's not something I can look into, and I'm not sure if the intended use is to exit after each movie or stay running. I'm also beginning to wonder if it's related to how I/we exit movies and go back to the main menu.

While L. Ron Hubbard's lectures had been previously assembled from around the world and stored in archives, the poor quality of the original recordings and deterioration of master tapes seriously impaired mass reproduction. Consequently, the project to restore these lectures only became possible with advances in computer and digital technology. To reclaim Mr. Hubbard's lectures, the Church established one of the world's most sophisticated sound restoration studios.
Mr. Miscavige was intimately involved with every aspect of this project. He dedicated thousands of hours to ensure that every word conformed precisely to Mr. Hubbard's original works and that his recorded lectures were universally accessible. For only in this way can Scientologists chronologically study their religion in pure, unadulterated form.
No less crucial to this scriptural restoration program was the largest global translations project in Church history, with all beginning books of Dianetics and Scientology made available in fifty languages and The Basics available in sixteen languages.
Given the sheer quantity and range of these materials, a publishing strategy was needed to ensure their production was viable in any language and in any quantity, no matter how small or large. The realization of that strategy is Bridge Publications in Los Angeles and New Era Publications in Copenhagen, Denmark. Together these organizations comprise the world's largest in-house, all-digital, print-on-demand publishing operation, cumulatively capable of printing 1.3 million books and producing 1 million compact discs weekly.
Recovering, producing and broadly disseminating all materials of Dianetics and Scientology—this is the achievement of Mr. David Miscavige, and this is what will preserve Scientology for all eternity.

Procedure of Incorporation Monitoring
- Incorporation monitoring is performed to assess if occupationally exposed workers have incorporated radioactive substances.
- For the determination of the incorporated activity in-vivo and in-vitro methods as well as room air measurements are commonly used.
- The activity "incorporation monitoring" is administered by the Coordinating Office on Incorporation Monitoring at the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS).
For the handling of sources of ionising radiation, dose limits for the workers have been laid down in the German Radiation Protection Ordinance (Strahlenschutzverordnung - StrlSchV). For the effective dose this value is 20 mSv per year. When handling open radioactive substances, the body dose can be composed of external and/or internal radiation exposure, depending on working conditions, the chemical form of the used substances and the type of radionuclides.
Internal exposure always occurs when radionuclides have entered the body, this is referred to as incorporation. The activity taken up by inhalation or ingestion must not result in exceeding the dose limits (effective dose or organ dose, respectively) of the StrlSchV. Neither must these dose limits be exceeded by the sum of the contributions of internal and external radiation exposure.
Methods and competences
The monitoring of incorporation is regulated in the German Guideline of Physical Radiation Protection Control. The following monitoring methods for the determination of the incorporated activity are commonly used:
- In-vivo methods: Determination of activity in the body or in the organs
- In-vitro methods: Determination of activity concentration in excretions
- Room air measurements: Determination of activity concentration in the air at the work place.
The first two methods are carried out by approved laboratories responsible for incorpration monitoring (ALIM). These laboratories are accredited by the respective competent German Federal States authorities. The third method is used when the first two methods are not suitable. This is the case if, e.g., the radionuclides to be monitored are too short-lived or the methods are not sensitive enough. In this case the responsible radiation protection supervisor and/or the radiation protection officer at the site allows taking appropiate actions.
Retrospective dose assessment
It is the task of incorporation monitoring to assess retrospectively if occupationally exposed workers incorporated radioactive substances. The possibly incorporated activity is determined and the body dose resulting from this uptake is assessed using the monitored data. This means that incorporation monitoring, based on measurements, serves to determine retrospectively a radiation exposure. It is not intended to achieve precautionary radiation protection tasks as, e.g., optimization of radiation protection measures.
Since 1996, the Coordinating Office on Incorporation Monitoring at the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) has assumed the responsibility for "incorporation monitoring". The Coordinating Office is responsible for all principal and special questions concerning incorporation monitoring not covered by the German Federal States. The spectrum of information and consultancy comprises both the determination of activity in the respective medium (body, urine, faeces etc.) and the corresponding dose assessment.

What would Donald say?
Reflecting on the men's "locker room" talk that recently landed Donald Trump in hot water, 'Melania Trump' made a surprise appearance on "The Stephen Colbert Show" and offered up a wistful thought.
"They're all animals--if only a woman could be president."
Actually, it wasn't Melania Trump, but Tony-winning actress Laura Benanti who joined Colbert to point fingers at the left wing media, the election and Billy Bush.
"He explained it was 'locker room talk' -I did not know this- but when American men gather to sport, they always brag about grabbing women by the Billy Bush" Benanti said.
The real Melania Trump was interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday and defended her husband's "boy talk," accusing the then-host of "Access Hollywood" of egging Trump on to make the controversial remarks.
"Access Hollywood" is an NBCUniversal program.
"Now I know why they're on a bus--it's easier to throw Billy underneath it,"Colbert joked. He then ripped into the idea of Trump, a man who can be persuaded by Billy Bush, in the position of president with nuclear launch codes at his disposal.
"Goodbye Finland," Colbert said.

March 8, 2010
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Five UC Santa Barbara women's basketball players were honored as All-Big West Conference players on Monday the conference announced. Four Gauchos were named to the all-conference teams - which led all nine Big West schools - while a fifth player was honored with a Specialty Award by the conference.
Emilie Johnson and Mekia Valentine were both honored as Second Team all-conference honorees while Meagan Williams was an Honorable Mention selection. Sweets Underwood was named to the All-Freshman Team while senior Ariana Gnekow was given the Hustle Award as voted on by her peers throughout the conference.
Johnson, a sophomore, led the Gauchos with 13.9 points per game and 3.3 assists per game and was twice honored as the Big West Player of the Week this season. Johnson has led the team in scoring in four of the five games during UCSB's current winning streak.
Valentine, a 6-foot-4 junior transfer, set a school record for blocked shots with 106 and ranks third in the nation with her 3.9 blocks per game. She averaged 12.2 points and a conference-leading 9.1 rebounds per game this season.
"Em and Mekia are kind of mainstays for our team," Head Coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "Both face a lot of pressure every game and they are still able to produce. People try to limit their touches and make their lives difficult."
Meagan Williams finished the regular season third on the team in scoring with 11.0 points per contest and led the Gauchos with 3.6 assists per conference game. She set career-highs in nearly every statistical category this season and had 15 games of double-digit points and was one of just two players to start all 29 games this year.
Sweets Underwood continued a long tradition of UCSB players on the All-Freshman Team, marking the fourth straight season that a Gaucho was named to the all-frosh team. Underwood played in all 29 games this season and averaged 3.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
Ariana Gnekow, who began her UCSB career as a freshman walk-on and is one of the team's tri-captains this season, was given the Hustle Award - a distinguishing honor voted on by the Big West players. Gnekow finished second on the team with 4.8 rebounds per game and was one of five players to see action in all 29 of the Gauchos' contests. She became a fixture in the starting lineup for UCSB's final 12 games and the team won eight of those contests.
"I don't think anyone epitomizes the hustle player better than she does," Gottlieb said. "She's putting up great numbers and that's a great attribute to her hustle. She leaves a great legacy here and she played her entire career with a lot of Gaucho heart."
While four Gauchos were honored as all-conference players - equaling UCSB's total each of the past two seasons and leading the entire conference for honorees - it marked the first time since the 1994 season that Santa Barbara did not have at least one player named to the All-Big West First Team.
UCSB is seeded fifth in the tournament and will open Big West play on Wednesday at noon vs. No. 8 seed Pacific. All UCSB games are broadcast live in AM 990 and streaming live online by clicking here. Games go on the air a half-hour before tip-off.
Big West Tournament tickets are available for purchase by clicking here.
UCSB defeated UOP twice this season. In this case, the Gauchos have to win four games in four days to advance to their 15th straight postseason. The game will be broadcast live online through BigWest.TV.

Finally the roll-ups are adorned with a seriously picante mix of mustard seeds and curry leaves and hot green peppers (yowza!!!) - and topped with grated coconut. I used rehydrated shredded coconut (unsweetened, obvs!). I like spicy food as much as the next guy, but seriously folks, I found myself picking some of the topping off these babies - that topping was super hot! Truth be told, this is not the most delicious thing I've ever made, but it was a lot fun to make, and I thought they were even yummier the next day. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find myself making these again someday.
Next up, I also made the Curried Cauliflower with Tomatoes - simple, pretty quick and very delicious. Mr Vegan Eats and Treats really, really loves tomatoey dishes... AND he has a special love for cauliflower, so this dish was pretty much a no-brainer. It came together quickly, had a great spice profile, and is definitely something I'll make again.
Last up, I made a batch of Spiced Black Eyed Peas with Curry Leaves, aka Safed Chole. Delicately spicey, saucey, and yummy - Mr VE&T called them "Indian Baked Beans," which was actually a pretty great description.
