Ljudevit Posavski : biography
Ljudevit Posavski (Trans-Savian) was a Duke of Pannonian Croatia from 810 to 823. The capital of his realm was in Sisak. As the ruler of the Pannonian Slavs, he led an unsuccessful resistance to Frankish domination. He held close ties with the Carantanian and Carniolan tribes and with the Timočani tribe.
Flight to the Serbs
According to Einhard, the writer of the Royal Frankish Annals, following the final Frankish attack, Ljudevit escaped from his seat in Sisak to the Serbs who controlled a great part of Dalmatia (Siscia civitate relicta, ad Sorabos, quae natio magnam Dalmatiae partem obtinere dicitur, fugiendo se contulit.).Goldstein, 1985, p. 235.http://books.google.se/books?id=YIAYMNOOe0YC The notion of Serbs in the relative vicinity of Ljudevit has puzzled numerous historians because the relevant area wasn't otherwise known to have been inhabited by Serbs.
Tadija Smičiklas did not attempt to define the area where Ljudevit fled, while Vjekoslav Klaić wrote it was beyond Sava and Bosna. Konstantin Jireček only indirectly mentioned that the Serbs had a fort around 820, but didn't specify its location. Ferdo Šišić put the ad Sorabos to the southeast of Sava and Vrbas, near the Dalmatian Croats. Vladimir Ćorović mentioned the flight to the Serbs, but didn't expound on it. The 1953 "History of the peoples of Yugoslavia" published by Školska knjiga added apparently fictitious details to the original story. Anto Babić discussed the original text and whether it was a reference to a single fort or a territory.Goldstein, 1985, p. 236. Svetislav M. Prvanović tried to connect Ljudevit and the Guduscani with the Roman city of Guduscum in eastern Serbia, but using only the interpretation of a single comma in Franjo Rački's text and conjecture. Sima Ćirković thought there was a consensus that the place was somewhere in Bosnia, but called the claims of exact locations speculation. Nada Klaić thought that the place Ljudevit fled to was actually the medieval county of Srb by the river Una.Goldstein, 1985, p. 237. Relja Novaković analyzed Einhard and concluded that the area could be somewhere near Kozara, Grmeč, Una and Kupa.Goldstein, 1985, p. 238. Ivo Goldstein acknowledged and accepted the theory that it was located in Srb, but advocated against misinterpreting the scarce historical records.Goldstein, 1985, p. 243–244. Radoslav Katičić argued against the theory, and Tibor Živković concurred with him.Tibor Živković: On the Beginnings of Bosnia in the Middle Ages, 2010; in the Yearbook of the Center for Balkan Studies of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, p. 153, in Serbian,
Ljudevit was welcomed at the unnamed Serbian ruler's court, but he tricked him, killing him and then taking the power for himself. Some believe the Serbian ruler was an ally of the Franks and Ljudevit thought that he was about to betray him. Ljudevit soon sent an envoy to the Frankish court, claiming that he is ready to recognize the Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious as his supreme ruler.
Ljudevit's reign was not very well accepted amongst the Serbs, so he fled to Borna's uncle, Ljudemisl of Dalmatia. Ljudemisl had Ljudevit killed in 823.
War continues
In January of 820, Borna made an alliance with the Frankish Emperor in Aachen. The plan was to crush Ljudevit's realm with a joint-attack from three sides. As soon as the winter retreated, massive Frankish armies were being amassed in Italia, East Francia, Bavaria, Saxony and Alemannia that were going to simultaneously invade Ljudevit's lands in the spring. The northern Frankish group moved from Bavaria across Pannonia to make an invasion across the river of Drava. Ljudevit's forces successfully stopped this Army at the river. The southern group moved across the Noric Alps, using the road from Aquileia to Emona. Ljudevit was successful again, as he stopped them before crossing the Alps. The central group moved from Tyrol to Carniola. Ljudevit attempted to halt its advance three times, but every single time would the Franks win, using numerical advantage. When this Army reached the Drava, Ljudevit had to fall back to the heart of his realm.

Position Details:
Membership Organizer in Dallas, TX
About Workers Defense Project:
Created in 2002, WDP is a statewide, membership-based organization devoted to workers' rights and advocacy, chiefly aiming to build power among Texas construction workers. Its mission – to empower low-income workers to achieve fair employment through education, direct services, organizing and strategic partnerships – is accomplished through a network of dedicated staff, volunteers and members.
WDP is one of the few organizations in Texas focused on addressing workplace abuse faced by low-wage laborers. Among the most established worker centers in the South, and a leader in the national movement of worker centers fighting for fair conditions for working people, WDP has won numerous awards for its cutting-edge achievements within one of the country's most difficult climates for workers. The New York Times described WDP as "one of the most creative organizations for immigrant workers in the country".
Each year, WDP serves over 2,500 workers through offices in Austin and Dallas by way of various social-service and organizing programs. WDP concentrates its efforts on winning better work conditions in the construction industry, among the most powerful special interest groups in Texas, employing over 900,000 workers, half of whom are undocumented.
The Membership Organizer position builds power for low-wage workers by recruiting new members, providing leadership development and safety trainings, and coordinating membership classes, events and activities (in particular ESL and OSHA classes). The Membership Organizer also helps to coordinate a worker-led committee that plans organizing and outreach events and activities on behalf of the organization.
? Coordinate and recruit members for WDP's ESL classes, computer classes, safety trainings, and leadership development workshops
? Develop and maintain strategic relationships with faith and labor allies, attorneys, state agencies, students, Spanish language media, and other community allies
? Work collaboratively with workers, advocates, and community supporters to develop campaign strategies and build worker leadership capacity
? Coordinate and facilitate worker rights and health and safety education/prevention workshops in Spanish
? Recruit, train, and coordinate construction workers for the WDP's worker committee
? Recruit and register workers as WDP members and collect membership dues
? Plan and attend membership events and community outreach events
? Coordinate volunteers and members to attend events
? Any other activities that are necessary to carry out the work of WDP
? Fluent in English and Spanish (strong written and verbal communication skills)
? Two years of organizing or relevant experience
? Ability to work irregular hours including nights and weekends (organizing position is a full-time salaried position)
? Ability to work well with diverse groups of people (including faith, labor, and Latina/o immigrants, among others.)
? Commitment to racial and economic justice and to bringing about change through leadership development and principles of popular education
? Detail-oriented and ability to work independently
? Excellent time management skills
? Strong computer literacy skills
? Have your own vehicle

HOW TO APPLY: Send resume, cover letter, and three professional references to email@example.com. As an equal opportunity employer, Workers Defense Project embraces diversity and does not discriminate in employment on the basis of age, race, color, creed, gender, religion, marital status, veteran's status, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.

How to Grow a Large Twitter Following
Twitter image from wired.co.uk
Network on Twitter
Twitter is one of the fastest growing networking sites today, so there's no guessing whether it has an audience. This makes it a perfect platform for small businesses to promote their products, for bloggers to promote their sites, and regular users to connect and gain information. Now, your job is to get this audience's attention and let them know you have something they want. So where do you begin?
Strong Biography
You've probably heard this many times before, but it's true. People want to know who you are before reading your tweets. They want to connect with you on a personal level. How do they do this? By reading your bio. You can make a very strong impression if you take the time to create a properly written biography. If you're trying to promote goods or services, don't forget to add a few links leading back to your blog or company web site.
Tweet and Tweet Actively
I don't mean tweet one day and a few days later, add another tweet. You want to smear your presence all across Twitter, so start off strong. Tweet at least twice a day and see if you can raise it to five. The more links you post, the more followers you will get. That's why the quality of the tweet is important. The question is, should you be broad with your tweets, posting links to everything under the sun, or should you refine your search and tweet a niche of topics? Really, that's up to you. Some Twitter users say be specific, while others promote the generality of topics. Here's what I say: try one way, and if that doesn't work, try the other.
"Please Retweet"
Getting users to retweet your content can create overnight fame on Twitter. If you don't find that your tweets are being retweeted enough, go ahead and add "RT" or "Don't forget to RT" at the bottom of your tweets. Adding this to the bottom of a few tweets should suffice, but do not add it to every tweet you compose.
Now you RT
It's also a great idea to retweet links that you find interesting. This isn't just a great idea, but essential for growing your Twitter following. A lot of users have found success in tweeting celebrities, industry leaders and popular bloggers. Why? Because if they do nothing more than thank you for retweeting their comment, this will give you major exposure. On top of RT'ing those who have a large following, retweet what is important to you, and make sure it's relevant.
Promote Twitter Users
You can do this a number of ways. The most common is to retweet, like I just mentioned, and then adding your own thought. You can also find a link, comment on the link, and then add the author's name. Try and sustain one endorsement a day, and slowly increase this number if you can.
Promote your Twitter Links
Post your twitter links anywhere you can; on your blog, on a guest blog, in a video tutorial, in your published article-everywhere. Let people outside of Twitter know that you have a Twitter account, that you're tweeting constantly and that your content is relevant and interesting.
Follow Relevant Users
This may go without saying, but I feel it's a necessary addition. When you follow someone, make sure they share your interests. If you don't share interests, while would they follow you? And vice versa.
Frequently use #Hashtags
Using hashtags makes it easy to connect with people who share your interests. This also increases the visibility of your tweets. Let's not forget that they're easy to use, so why not throw them in? If you're adding a link to a paleo recipe, simply add #paleofood at the end. I would also include #recipe, #healthy, etc. Anything that's relevant to your tweet and a popular trend.
Follow Trends
You'll find popular Twitter trends on the left sidebar. Create a tweet based on these trends, and don't forget to use the hashtag.
Twitter Widget
Add the Twitter widget to your own blog to show people what you're tweeting. If you post interesting tweets, people will see this and follow you. It's as simple as that.
Join Twitter Directories
If you have no idea what this is, let me quickly explain. A Twitter directory is a service that allows you to search for the most popular Twitter users, users who share your interests, your own account, and other intricate Twitter data. Find a few twitter directories and add information about who you are, your interests and how they can follow you on Twitter. I recommend WeFollow, Twellow, TwitterHolic and TwitterCounter to name a few.
Search Tweets
Look out for the tweets that are of interest to you. Comment on these tweets and then begin following the user. In turn, they'll probably follow you. This is one of the best ways to establish Twitter connections.
Celebrity Followers
Everybody needs at least one celebrity follower. It just looks good. Also, if a celebrity follows you, they'll most likely respond to your tweets or, better yet, retweet something you've said. Needless to say, this will bring plenty of exposure to your Twitter account. This trick doesn't work for celebrities alone, but anyone who has a large following.
Use Automatic Tools
You can't spend several hours posting images or links you find interesting. Instead, download an automatic tool, such Buffer or Hootsuite to automatically do the tweeting for you, figuring out the best time of to day to do so. Another favorite is Twitterfeed, which is a very useful tool that automatically sends out tweets from the RSS feeds you enter.
Join Tweet Chats
If you want to jump into a conversation but don't know how, go to TweetChat. By using hashtags, you'll find specific topics to and connect with people who share your interests. This is a great way meet new people and gain followers. When you search on TweetChat, the hashtag "real time" is always added and the chat room is constantly auto-updated. So don't worry, you'll never jump into an old conversation.
Twitter Campaigns
Twitter is a great place to start a social campaign. If you have a product or a blog, use Twitter to tweet prizes, coupons, sweepstakes, special deals and so much more. This will get your current followers buzzed and also attract new fans. Not only can this gain exposure to your Twitter account, but to your product, blog or website.
You're on your way to promoting yourself properly on social media platforms. If you haven't done so already, check out my article on gaining Pinterest followers. This is a site that amasses over 21 million views a month. Trust me, you want a strong following.

Working Memory as a Theatre for Ideas
Dennett (1992) suggests that language and the ability to talk to oneself was actually required to develop in order to invent tools. This seems to be an example of amorphous cognition becoming conscious thought, through the use of 'feedback loops'; the brains ability to re-live and imagine past and future actions in order to perfect them (Donald, 1991). That we can access memories regardless of our environmental stimulus is a foundational aspect of creativity, as it allows us to combine situations and ideas that are completely distinct in the physical world. By having a conversation with ourselves, we are effectively adding another level of feedback to the system. This seems to show that ideas need to become part of the external world before we can manipulate them, as we would a real object. This turns possibly meaningless endocepts into 'real' images that can then be fed back into our stimulus experience, creating not only ideas, but possibilities. This suggests, conceptually at least, that the conscious is in fact more a part of our external world. It is supported by the need of the conscious mind to work in the medium of its senses; we think in terms of images, sounds as we were editing our own recorded footage (Arieti 1976). The prefrontal cortex, equivalent to the RAM in a computer, is described as the theater of the mind, where our sense and experiences come together to create our world (Lehrer 2012). It is a memory system that is able to 'keep in mind' other information, which of course is useful for problem solving (Miller and Cohen, 2001). This is where 'endocepts' seem to become accessible, and will also therefore be the place where the need to express them is established. What is obvious at this stage is that endocepts are not in the consciousness, and so can be thought of as ideas that lie between the primary and secondary processes – between the primal and conceptual levels of thinking.
It is hardly surprising that all of the brain's functions seem to be involved in the creative process. It is the rate of flow of information, not the number or power of the nodes that make the difference between being less creative or more creative (Lehrer 2012, Baer 2010). The brain has a huge capacity to aggregate information from many inputs and combine it in new ways. One of the important information pathways in the brain is between memory and the areas in charge of translating senses. This is collectively called the Limbic system. In fact, research points to the dynamic between long-term and short-term or working memory as a key to creativity. The sense stimulation can be associated with working memory, as this is where they are processed and add to previous experience in long-term memory (Burgess and Hitch 2005). This is where we start to see a pattern of 'recursive loops' referred to in reference to creativity, such as the basal ganglia loop that allows the brain to evolve ideas as context shifts (Bond 2006).
As we have seen, the brain's processes are not aimed at creativity, but creativity is a useful effect of their interaction and sense-making abilities. These allow random and unlikely connections to be made and held temporarily, in order to better understand the immediate context of experience. If useful, they are repeated and become part of long-term memory to be combined with future experience, ensuring a constantly updated and effective decision-making process. Of course, most of these processes are not conscious, and as amorphous cognition is not conscious or able to be expressed, it is attributed to the unconscious mind.

Ah, Kyla! That sounds wonderful!! How do you manage to do so many cool things?! Also, i've been wondering- is it a fairly reasonable price to ship a bike overseas with you? I have some vague plans for a visit to New Zealand and would like to bring my bike as well.
Anyway, I spent two months in Thailand last winter and my two favorite places by far were Ko Tarutao (which is way far south, so you might not head back that way, but it is the best place we stayed by far.) it's a national marine park and so there are no parties at all, no development, no cars, and miles of biking, kayaking in mangroves, and hiking trails and the nicest park staff. 2nd recommendation is Doi Chiang Dao, and stay at Mallee's nature bungalows, and go to the temple up the road, and hike Doi Chiang Dao. Hope you have wonderful travels! Nice to see what you're up to these days! Take care, Malloree
Rock it girl. You kick ass, seems like an amazing adventure, and its sure not over!
Love keeping up with your adventures! Can't wait for the next installment.

The distribution pattern of critically short telomeres in human osteoarthritic knees
The distribution pattern of critically short telomeres in human osteoarthritic knees - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Arthritis Research and Therapy
First Online: 18 January 2012Received: 17 July 2011Revised: 17 November 2011Accepted: 18 January 2012
IntroductionTelomere shortening is associated with a number of common age-related diseases. A role of telomere shortening in osteoarthritis OA has been suggested, mainly based on the assessment of mean telomere length in ex vivo expanded chondrocytes. We addressed this role directly in vivo by using a newly developed assay, which measures specifically the load of ultra-short single telomeres below 1,500 base pairs, that is, the telomere subpopulation believed to promote cellular senescence.
MethodsSamples were obtained from human OA knees at two distances from the central lesion site. Each sample was split into three: one was used for quantification of ultra-short single telomeres through the Universal single telomere length assay STELA, one for histological Mankin grading of OA, and one for mean telomere length measurement through quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization Q-FISH as well as for assessment of senescence through quantification of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci SAHF.
ResultsThe load of ultra-short telomeres as well as mean telomere length was significantly associated with proximity to lesions, OA severity, and senescence level. The degree of significance was higher when assessed through load of ultra-short telomeres per cell compared with mean telomere length.
ConclusionsThese in vivo data, especially the quantification of ultra-short telomeres, stress a role of telomere shortening in human OA.

A subject near and dear to my heart, the Push-Up. Based in regulatory requirement, this movement has been a keystone in my military physical training since I first begin preparing for Basic Training in 1999. Sadly, once you leave the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (AKA "the schoolhouse"), and merge into the "real Army", the rigid standard for push-up execution and acceptance is often lost.
The gymnastics-centric Coach Glassman, and his developing CrossFit community reinvigorated the idea of virtuosity in movement, and provided a prompt for us to attempt to instruct more and more athletes on the proper performance of this foundational movement.
Coach Glassman's labeling of "an honest push-up" versus a "lousy push-up" is fantastic, and really calls out cheaters for their shortcuts. There is a correct way, and there is everything else.
The Push-Up Milestones in this article from 2003 seem outlandish, even now after 15 or so years of the CrossFit training methodology, but they must be based on a standard achieved by someone. Shoot for "Fifty honest basic push-ups" under the CrossFit standards, and build from there (all the way to "One handstand push-up w/out use of the wall and on fingertips".
Other coaches, like Greg Everett and Carl Paoli have published articles and videos on push-up standards, and should be reviewed for a more rounded perspective.
What do you think? Post to comments.

adjournment: CJI
(Eds: Adds more quotes)
Chennai, Sep 16 (PTI) Lawyers should ensure they do not suffer from the "disease of adjournment" and procrastinate the progress of cases, Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra today said.
In his address at the 125th Anniversary celebrations of the Madras High Court Heritage Buildings, Justice Misra also said "punctuality is a facet of rule of law".
"All of us, members of the bench and the assisting counsel, should clearly understand that it is our obligation to sit on time as a judge (and) as lawyers to argue a case coming prepared," he said.
"If a lawyer delays, procrastinates, a judge doesnt sit on time, both of them violate the rule of law," he added.
Justice Misra said no lawyer should suffer from "any kind of disease."
"I would say (that is the) disease of adjournment.. When you ask for an adjournment, you must understand you are being killed by allergy," he said adding judges should develop an antidote towards adjournment.
Lawyers should keep in mind that "we should not procrastinate the cases", he said, pointing out not all of them require preparation.
"It is not that every case requires so much of preparation and all of you know it also. Please come prepared, dont seek adjournment," he said.
Even if a judge was inclined to grant adjournment, the lawyer should politely inform the former that he was ready with the case and that he could be heard.
Heaping praise on the Madras High Court, Justice Misra said it has a "great heritage".
"The Madras High Court has not only witnessed several landmark battles fought on its floors but has withstood literal attack on its existence (during World War I). But it never yielded to any kind of anarchy or chaos. It stands as a testimony of bravery," he said.
Earlier, the chief justice inaugurated a renovated light house and museum on the High Court campus. He was accompanied by Union Minister of Law and Justice Ravi Shankar Prasad, Chief Justice of Madras HC Indira Banerjee and Chief Minister K Palaniswami.
In his address, Prasad said the governments focus was on the disposal of cases pending for 10 years and above.
"What I am trying to focus all over the country is that disposal of cases 10 years old and above must be settled and adjudicated on a priority basis," he said.
Of the 2.97 lakh pending cases in Tamil Nadu, a little over 77,000 cases were over 10 years old, Prasad said and called for a "mission-mode initiative" for their disposal.
Citing statistics till December 31, 2016, he said the number of such cases at the Madras High Court was 33,960 while it was 44,721 in district and subordinate courts.
"On the 125th anniversary of this magnificent building, this temple of justice, may I request to make a mission-mode initiative to dispose of all the cases which are more than 10 years old. That should be the benchmark and the commitment on this happy occasion," he said.
This was "very doable" and many high courts in the country were already taking steps in this regard, he added.
Prasad expressed joy over the Supreme Courts "new thirst for faster disposal" of pending cases and added that the government and judiciary were working together to bring "greater opportunity" for the poor for justice.
Digital technology is being used to ensure that the poor has access to justice, Prasad, who also holds IT portfolio, said, and referred to the governments Tele-Law and Nyayamitra schemes in this regard.
"What is tele law. We have got nearly 2.7 lakh common service centres across the country, we married them with the legal volunteers and today poor people sit there, get justice through National Legal Services Authority," he said.
So far 2,900 requests have been made and more than 2,200 of them have been redressed, Prasad added.
The minister urged young lawyers to register online as per the Nyayamitra scheme, saying their services would be utilised to serve the poor in need of justice.
He also praised the history and heritage of the Madras High Court, saying it laid down the foundation that a court should also be known for its architectural history and not just judicial history.
Many chief justices from the court had been elevated to the apex court, he added.
Chief Minister Palaniswami said the Constitution provided people the right to justice.
"It is a matter of pride that the Madras High Court has been delivering judgements dispassionately," he said.
The judiciary, government and Legislative Assembly should "function independently within their borders", to ensure peace and joy for people, he said, adding that was the case in Tamil Nadu.
He referred to various initiatives undertaken by the state government to ensure speedy delivery of justice.
The government had earlier allotted Rs 56.34 crore towards constructing buildings for the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, he pointed out.
A Rs 100-crore National Law School was in operation at Srirangam in Tiruchirappalli district, he said.
Under former chief minister J Jayalalithaa, the state government had proposed to the Centre to rename the Madras High Court as Tamil Nadu High Court, he said referring to an Assembly resolution in this regard.
His government was committed to fulfilling the needs of the judiciary, he added. PTI SA BN GVS

Once More Into the Breech
But I'm not going to write about sitting in the Washington/Dulles airport waiting for my delayed flight to Norfolk to do a WWDTM taping tomorrow night. I will tell you instead why I have posted so seldom as of late. Or perhaps it would be better to show you.
This is what's left of our kitchen. We paid a crew of very talented young tradesmen to tear it to pieces and put it back together again in a different order. I'm playing the part of general contractor on the job, which means not only that I have to pay for everything, but I also have to figure out what everything is that I'm supposed to pay for and make sure it or he or she shows up when it or he or she is supposed to. Long ago and far away I did this sort of work everyday. For ten years. Let me tell you, it's not like riding a bike. It's more like solving quadratic equations. In other words, use it or lose it. Most days I feel like I'm solving some sinister Rubik's Cube that changes colors as I go and bites me at every wrong move. Then while I sleep it arranges itself back the way it was.
The good news is that construction technology has come a long way since I tried to make a living at it. Cordless tools, high-tech plywood and weather seals, laser levels. If they'd had this stuff twenty years ago I might still be doing it. But, based on the frustrations and confusions of building that have not been improved upon, I probably wouldn't be celebrating 16 years of sobriety if I was.

The Invisible Kitchen by i29 Interior Architects takes the idea of minimalism to the next level. Instead of using a thick kitchen countertop, the team went with a paper-thin look that's still sturdy to hold those massive dinner pots and pans.
The name came about because of the thin design, and because from some perspectives it's even hard to see the countertop. This is a far cry from the thick granite looks many people use in their apartments and houses. i29 stated that they were trying to make the kitchen features look more like furniture rather than just a functional element. Considering how much coffee tables and chairs are experimented with in terms of form, it's great to see the kitchen table being addressed with a more innovative approach by the company.

A remarkable American life
It is haunting, this photograph.
The face is weary, exhausted, melancholic. The eyes are sunken into the face, blackened from years of stress. The negative is cracked, an apropos symbol of this man's fate.
It was the last image of Abraham Lincoln, taken days before his assassination, ironically at the moment of his greatest triumph -- the conclusion of the war that plagued his soul.
Today is Lincoln's 200th birthday. What can be said about him that hasn't already been said?
He is with us still. He is with us in all these silly comparisons to Barack Obama. He is with us in a plethora of books. He is with us in at least two new TV documentaries.
I have read more books about Lincoln than about any other human being save Richard M. Nixon. And, while Nixon remains a fascinating enigma, Lincoln remains a legend, the high-water mark of the American presidency; he is in so many ways the savior of our country.
Lest you accuse me of hagiography, let me say just a few short words.
Lincoln, more than any other president, ascended from humble beginnings. He literally was born in a log cabin. He received less than a year of formal education. He was a partner in a general store in his youth, heavily in debt, but honest enough to eventually pay each debtor in full.
He became a successful lawyer, one of the best on the Illinois circuit. He developed a talent for soaring oratory, engaging the most formidable Democrat of the time, the Little Giant Stephen A. Douglas, in a spirited series of debates leading up to the 1858 Illinois U.S. Senate election. And he lost it.
But, two years later, he was elected president of the United States, with only a few years in the Illinois House, and one term in the U.S. House, under his belt. If anyone was destined to lead his country at a particular moment in history, surely it was Lincoln.
He stumbled and fell at times during his first term. He knew personal tragedy, losing his son Willie in 1862. But he kept at it, refusing to give up, doing what it took to preserve the Union.
And he was a ruthless politician. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus, suppressed the freedom of the press, made decisions (even choosing when to announce the Emancipation Proclamation) based on political calculations. Let's not forget, after all, that Lincoln was a flesh-and-blood human being, not the statue that forever stares toward the reflection pool.
I am no expert, but if you were to ask me to name my favorite Lincoln books, I would say these: "Lincoln" by David Herbert Donald; "With Malice Toward None" by Stephen Oates; "Re-electing Lincoln" by John C. Waugh: and "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. I have James M. McPherson's "Tried By War" on my bookshelf. I have tried to read Carl Sandburg's epic biography. I will try again someday.
For those of you in the Knoxville or East Tennessee area, take an afternoon and drive up to the Abraham Lincoln Museum on the Lincoln Memorial University Campus. If you can, go in the fall, when the leaves begin to change. Harrogate in autumn is as pretty a spot as anyone can find.
And so today is Lincoln's birthday. We owe this man so much. Here's hoping that we stop to realize that Honest Abe is much more than the Great Rail-Splitter, the mythical monument, the face on the penny.
His is a remarkable American life.

In the last of our three reflections on the songs of the nativity we come to the main event, the birth itself, and the shepherds, abiding in the fields, minding their own business until heaven bursts into their lives and the angels' song chases away any chance of sleep.
These shepherds are interesting characters and their significance has been interpreted in all sorts of different ways. Some commentators have seen in them echoes of the shepherd images in the Old Testament; of King David the shepherd boy who becomes a king, and God himself, the shepherd who leads us beside still waters and feed us in green pastures. But the truth is that shepherds at the time of Christ were often regarded as very disreputable. They seem to have had a reputation for dishonesty too, often accused of grazing their flocks on other people's land. So maybe these shepherds are meant to foreshadow all the other sinners and outcasts whom Christ welcomed and honoured.
There is a third possibility too. These are, specifically, shepherds living just outside Bethlehem, which is just a few miles from Jerusalem. In ancient times this seems to have been where the lambs were raised that were used as sacrifices in the Temple. These lambs had to be perfect, without any blemish if they were to be acceptable. Maybe Luke is reminding us that Jesus is the Lamb of God, the perfect sacrifice that ended the need for sacrifice? It's all speculation – Luke doesn't spell it out and we probably miss things that would have been obvious to those he was writing for. But whoever they are it is clear that the shepherds aren't the kind of people who would have expected to be first in line to hear about a royal birth. This kind of thing just doesn't happen to them. Except that now it has.
A multitude of angels appear in the sky, praising God and singing the song which forms the beginning of the canticle we sing every Sunday at communion, the Gloria. "Glory to God in the highest heaven. and on earth peace among those whom he favours!", or, as we know it, "Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth." The Greek can be translated in a number of ways, but the key to it all is the first word, Glory. This is a song that acclaims the Glory of God, the glory that is now spilling out onto the shepherds.
Glory was a very significant word in both the Old and New Testaments. Luke uses the Greek word -"doxa" – but it is the direct equivalents of the Hebrew word "Kabod" (pronounced "kavothe"). Kabod wasn't just a metaphor or an abstract noun to the people of the Bible. The Glory of God was an actual thing, a distinct phenomenon. The root from which it is derives means heavy or substantial. Although it is often described in terms of shining light, there was nothing ethereal about it. It was a weighty thing, full and abundant, but often terrifying as well. Moses encountered the glory of God on Mount Sinai and "the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire," we are told. (Exodus 24.17) And when he came down the mountain, his own face shone with glory so brightly that he had to wear a veil to stop it dazzling people.
It was the visible sign of God's presence. Ezekiel the prophet described seeing the glory of the Lord leaving the Temple in Jerusalem before the Babylonians destroyed it. It wheeled up into the sky and over the mountains that surrounded the city until it was gone from sight. It was a powerful symbol of his despair for his nation. But he also had a vision of it returning just as it had gone. One day the Temple would be restored.
But now this kabod, this glory, is spilling out of heaven and landing where? In the midst of a bunch of shepherds. It isn't shining in the Temple. It isn't shining on some High Priest or king. It is shining on some anonymous, poor, ordinary shepherds. And it is directing them to a manger, not a palace, and to the son of a couple around whom there was at least a whiff of scandal – a child born too soon after their wedding to be strictly respectable. This is where God's glory is now coming to rest. This is where God's presence is. Who would have thought it?
"Peace among those who he favours" sing the angels, which sounds like a rather barbed comment. It's fine if you are one of the favoured ones, but what if you aren't? But the good news of the angels' message is that in this child God's favour rests on anyone who is open to it. Jew and Greek, slave and free, men and women, the respectable and the outcast, the rich and the poor.
As Paul reminds the Colossians we can look into ourselves and into each other and see "Christ in you, the hope of glory". We don't have to go up Mount Sinai. We don't have to look in the Temple. We don't have to wait for some religious expert to dispense it to us. God has come to live in each of us, and in those around us, in all his glory. In the silence tonight, let's ask ourselves whether we really believe that – about ourselves, about others. If the answer is no, or not as much as we should do, let's ask ourselves what difference it would make if we really did.

Crosby's OT goal ends nine-game droughtby Brian Compton
But his talent and phenomenal hand-eye coordination simply wouldn't allow it.
Crosby scored 43 seconds into overtime on Monday night, as the Penguins rebounded from one of their worst efforts of the season with a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at HSBC Arena.
Not only was it the type of emotional lift the Pens were looking for -- especially after Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs -- but it also helped Crosby snap out of a rare offensive funk.
"It took a while, but you go through those stints in a season," Crosby said. "Hopefully this will start me off on the right foot from here on in."
Crosby put an end to his drought when he tipped Evgeni Malkin's shot past Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, albeit in controversial fashion. After reviewing the play for roughly two minutes, referee Justin St. Pierre announced that Crosby's stick was indeed under the crossbar when it made contact with Malkin's shot.
"I thought that my top hand may be above the crossbar … I was kind of flirting with danger there," said Crosby, who hadn't scored since notching a hat trick against the New Jersey Devils on Nov. 29. "But I knew the bottom part was kind of on an angle down. That might have saved me when I tipped it. I hit it pretty close to the blade."
Much like many in the crowd, Miller felt Crosby's stick was above the crossbar.
''I didn't get a great look, but from my gut feel I thought it was a little high,'' said Miller, who finished with 18 saves. ''Let's just hope they make the right call in Toronto.''
While Crosby tallied the game-winner, the Penguins received a lot of help from unusual sources on Monday night. Alex Goligoski scored twice and added an assist, and Pascal Dupuis converted on his only shot of the night. Dupuis missed Saturday's loss due to a lower-body injury.
"That's very important," Crosby said of the secondary scoring. "You're not going to get too far without that. With the amount of injuries we're facing, we need a lot of guys to step up, and we've had that in the games that we've won. We need to continue that."
Things didn't look good early for the Penguins, as Buffalo needed just 60 seconds to break the scoreless tie. From the top of the right circle, Daniel Paille ripped a shot that deflected off Pittsburgh defenseman Philippe Boucher and past Marc-Andre Fleury. It was Paille's fourth goal of the season.
The Sabres grabbed a 2-0 lead when Ales Kotalik notched his eighth goal of the campaign at 5:23 of the second period, as he took a pass from Paille and beat Fleury on a breakaway.
''We played hard, so it was a tough break,'' Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. ''I thought our guys did a great job against a very skilled team.''
The Penguins got on the comeback trail just 55 seconds later when Dupuis cut the deficit in half. With the teams at even strength, Dupuis took a pass from Miroslav Satan and let go a shot from the slot that found its way past Miller to make it 2-1. Goligoski tied things up with his first goal of the night at 12:23 of the second on another even-strength tally, as he beat Miller on a wrist shot from the point.
Buffalo regained the lead on a power-play goal by Clarke MacArthur with 4:02 left in the second, but Goligoski sent the game to overtime with a power-play tally of his own at 11:17 of the third.
''We haven't been playing that well, so that's a great road win against a good team,'' Goligoski said. ''It's good for the locker room right now.''
''We are managing the puck really well and we found a way to come back,'' Penguins coach Michel Therrien said. ''To be able to win that game in overtime, it's a big boost of confidence.''

He Swept Floors and Later Mopped Up in the Gospel Biz
CHICAGO -- Long ago, Willie L. Wilson ran off from a Florida work camp, convinced it was virtual slavery. Hounds chased him but he got away.
Later, though he had no money, and only an eighth-grade education, he convinced himself he could run his own business. No matter that his career began as a floor-mopper in a fast-food restaurant. Like his belief in God, there are some things he just knows to be true.

Following the research conducted in the school two years ago by St Andrews University, Portobello High School's Modern Studies department was delighted to receive an invitation by Dr. Candice Currie and her team to take part in the launch event of the World Health Organisation's recent study into the social determinants of adolescent health. The study (called Health Behaviours in School-aged Children Report, or HBSC Report for short) looked at the inequalities in health and well being from the perspective of gender, age and socio-economic status from 39 countries, including Europe, North America and some parts of the Middle East.
The HBSC event was launched at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh on the 2nd May 2012 and received considerable media attention, with many of the major newspapers and news channels focusing on the positive reports of Scotland's young people drinking less fizzy juice and having a positive outlook on life. The event focused on the findings of the report, both internationally and locally, with speakers from the World Health Organisation, Vivian B. Barnekow, HBSC Scotland, Jo Inchley, and Tam Baillie, Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People. Ten of Mrs Banks' Higher class were lucky enough to sit in the audience and listen to the findings, and further discuss the issues raised with many of the speakers at the 'meet and greet' event afterwards.
As well as sitting in the audience, four of the S6 students from the class, Courtney Barr, Matthew Wilcox, Sarah Jamieson and Ross McWhirter, were chosen to sit on a panel of experts on young people and health, and were asked questions on their experiences of health and well-being in Scotland today. This was an amazing opportunity for our students, as they were amongst some of the most highly regarded academics on the subject, such as George Patton, lead author and editor of the Lancet series on Adolescent Health at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and Dominic Richardson from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. All four pupils were able to speak from their own experiences in a highly mature and sophisticated manner, and greatly impressed a room of academics and social policy makers.
The school has received extremely positive feedback on our participation in the event; as many of the conference delegates said how informative and beneficial it was to have the pupils speak at the event, especially since the report is all about them. All the pupils involved on the day found the event extremely useful and insightful, especially with their Higher Modern Studies exam so close at hand, and were able to use the knowledge they had learned to good use only two weeks later!
From Gillian Tee, Director of Children and Families, City of Edinburgh Council:
"Just a note to say that I have had wonderful feedback from various sources about the contribution of four pupils from Portobello High School at the recent World Health Organisation Conference. It is always good to receive such glowing feedback. I would be grateful if you could pass on my congratulations to the pupils and staff involved".
From Martine Miller, Research Assistant, St Andrews University:
"I thought the conference went really well and the pupils were truly amazing. Their contributions to the discussions was outstanding and they answered questions posed to them by conference delegates in a highly confident and capable manner. I felt extremely proud on their behalf".

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, am I excited to be participating in the 10th annual Tour de Turtles, woo-hoo! I'm Sanchez the green turtle. I just love swimming and splashing and eating as much sea grass as I can! Racing in the Tour de Turtles is going to be such a hoot! Even though crawling up the beach and laying almost 100 eggs in Tortuguero was tiring, I've had some time to rest and now have all my energy back. I'm ready to swim as far and fast as I can to help raise awareness for a good cause, and that is to teach all you folks about the dangers of climate change. Because sea turtles use both marine and terrestrial habits, the effects of climate change are likely to have a devastating impact on us. How scary does that sound?! Climate change affects nesting beaches, coastal habitat, gender ratio of hatchlings and more! With the help of my great and knowledgeable sponsors at World Nomads, we can teach everyone about how to help me and my friends. Oh, this is going to be so much fun! Don't forget to cheer me on during my journey. I plan on swimming fast and far and becoming the ultimate champion. I can't wait to share the trophy will all my new friends!
I was named by my Sponsor,
World Nomads. Check out my marathon migration map, where you can follow along as I swim to raise awarness about the threat of Climate Change to sea turtles. Please help me raise awareness about my cause by supporting me!

Delaware's team finished our presentation to the panel of national experts reviewing our Race to the Top application today. I was honored to lead our delegation, and grateful for the opportunity to work closely with such outstanding professionals.
Thank you to all of those who were engaged in this process, including the team members with me today:
Our team was diverse, representing tremendous and high-level cooperation around a bold plan for change. Whether or not we are one of the few states to win funding, the real victory here is evident in the team we have mobilized. We believe in our plan and have already taken steps to make it happen. We have made real changes together – teachers, administrators, the business community and state government.
I also appreciate the efforts of President Obama, Secretary Duncan and others at the Department of Education to create a program and an atmosphere that incentivizes states to strive. As the Chair of the Democratic Governor's Association and the chair of the National Governor's Association's Common Core Standards Initiative, I have seen the positive impact this process has had across the country.
Our nation's governors know that getting people back to work and improving our schools are among the most immediate issues we're facing – and stronger schools are fundamental to our long-term economic success.
We are proud to participate in a process that encourages states to make clear their goals for student achievement and lay out in great detail how they plan to achieve them. Reform does not spring from bold pronouncements alone. Change requires teamwork, cooperation and a sense of shared vision. I think what's unique about Delaware is how much we have taken that to heart.

The Patient Pathway
4. First Day of Treatment
You'll need to arrive 10-15 minutes before your allocated treatment time so that we can greet you and to give you time to get changed for your treatment.
If you are driving, we recommend you enter Gate 3, 98 Mountain Road and park on the upper level car park and walk across the link bridge to Auckland Radiation Oncology (ARO). Please report to the ARO reception desk.
The radiation therapy itself is non-invasive and painless, and should take only 10-15 minutes to deliver. Sometimes this can take longer if there is a complex set-up required as for those patients requiring treatment to the head and neck area. Please allow 30-60 minutes for each scheduled treatment visit.
Your specific treatment type will be explained to you by a radiation therapist (RT) on your first day of treatment.

Linux, politics, and other interesting things
Michael Anissimov writes about the theft of computers from the Los Alamos nuclear weapons lab [1]. He suggests that this incident (and others like it) pose a great risk to out civilisation. He advocates donating towards The Lifeboat Foundation [2] to try and mitigate risks to humanity. They suggest pledging $1000 per year for 25 years.
It's interesting to note that people in Pakistan pay $8 per month for net access that better by most objective metrics than that which most people in first world can get [3]. It seems that we need to remove the cartel for the local loop to get good net access, either deregulate it entirely or make it owned by the local government who are more directly responsive to the residents.
Bruce Schneier wrote a post about a proposed US law to force all mobile phones with cameras to make a "click" sound when taking a picture [4]. The law is largely irrelevant, as it's been law in Japan for a while most phones are already designed in that way. One interesting comment from MarkH was: But if congress REALLY wishes to benefit the public, I suggest that all guns in the U.S. be required, before each discharge, to make loud sounds (with appropriate time sequencing) simulating the flintlock technology that was common at the beginning of U.S. history, including cocking, use of the ramrod, etc. This would give fair warning of an impending discharge, and would limit firing rates to a few per minute. ROFL
Brief review of a Google Android phone vs an iPhone [5]. The Android G1 is now on sale in Australia! [6].
LWN has an article about the panel discussion at the LCA Security Mini-conf [7]. Jonathan Corbet has quoted me quite a bit in the article, thanks Jonathan!
Peter Ward gave an interesting TED talk about Hydrogen Sulphide and mass extinctions [8]. The best available evidence is that one of the worst extinctions was caused by H2S in the atmosphere which was produced by bacteria. The bacteria in question like a large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It's yet another reason for reducing the CO2 production.
Michael Anissimov has written a good article summarising some of the dangers of space exploration [9], he suggests colonising the sea, deserts, and Antartica first (all of which are much easier and safer). "Until we gain the ability to create huge (miles wide or larger) air bubbles in space enclosed by rapidly self-healing transparent membranes, it will be cramped and overwhelmingly boring. You'll spend even more time on the Internet up there than down here, and your connection will be slow". A confined space and slow net access, that's like being on a plane.
Russ, Are you blocking bogons? I can't access your site from my new fios ip #, and I've run into problems where verizon has started using previously unpublished ips. I'm commenting from a vpn connnection. Anyway, the comment: I wish tazers made loud noises like guns do, maybe a warning horn like an air horn should be emitted constantly when a gun safety has been turned off.

Living below your means requires a good bit of creativity from time to time. You have to get pretty clever to stretch a buck, but just how far can you go in matters of etiquette before you cross the line? Ask yourself this: Is my choice to be cheap going to harm or insult another person?
Be cheap with yourself, not with others. When splitting the cost of something, always round up. Never freeload in the name of frugality. If you cannot afford to pay your way, don't go. When in doubt, always err on the side of generosity. Here are some common etiquette guidelines to follow:
Q When eating out in a group, how can I ask to pay my portion of the bill and not have it split evenly without seeming cheap?
A Ask the server for a separate check before you order or position yourself to accept the bill from the server. Fully calculate what you owe, including tax and a fair tip, and round up. Place your money on the check and pass it along.
Q When using a restaurant coupon, how do I figure the tip?
A Determine what the cost would have been for the meal without the coupon. Figure your tip on this amount; don't include the tax in this amount.
Q Do I have to tip the bellman to carry my bags to the room?
A Yes. It is customary in our culture to tip a bellman $1 per bag or, if the bags are heavy, $2 per bag. You can always carry your own bags and keep the tip.
Q Should I tip my beautician if I am not pleased with the result?
A No. A tip is a reward for good service. Do not reward bad service.
Q Where is it appropriate to leave money in a tip jar?
A Nowhere.
Q What is polite when having a makeover at a cosmetic counter in a department store?
A You owe nothing if you buy a product or take less than 15 minutes of the salesperson's time. Otherwise, leave $15 minimum.
Q I received a gift certificate for an elaborate day at the spa. Am I obligated to tip the staff?
A Determine in advance whether a service charge is included in your gift. Call ahead to ask whether your certificate includes a gratuity. If not, you should tip 10 to 15 percent of the value of the treatment, to be shared among those who provided services.
Q The pastor of our church will perform our wedding ceremony. Do we have to pay him, because we are members of the church and weddings are part of his job?
A The scope of a minister's regular duties typically does not cover performing weddings and funerals. You should pay the officiant a minimum of $100, more if travel is involved. A gift in lieu of cash would not be appropriate.
Q My former fiance broke our engagement. What happens to the ring?
A The ring belongs to the person who paid for it, regardless of who broke the engagement. Both parties should return any gifts received from the other during the relationship.

Genesis 30:25−31:16
God sovereignly works to bless his children, as they work responsibly, even in adverse conditions.
A change of mind for Jacob comes with the birth of Joseph (30:25); he desires to return to his homeland. It was probably the entire sequence of events—especially the futile machinations of the female "Jacob," Rachel, until she surrendered and then was remembered by God—that brought Jacob to his senses. It was time to make some amends; it was time to go home. Later, in 31:3, we discover that this move was also commanded by Yahweh. Jacob is aligning himself to the will of God.
But Laban is not too pleased about the departure of his "slave," but he nonetheless invites Jacob to "name your wages" (30:28). An earlier request of Laban to Jacob that he specify his "wages" (29:15) was followed by deception. No wonder Jacob does not trust the same request from his father-in-law this second time. The earlier offer from Laban to "give" (29:19 [×2]) his daughter had turned out be fraudulent. Why should this current offer to "give" him his wages (30:28) be any less fictitious?
The marital contracts stipulated Jacob's service of fourteen years for his two wives (29:18, 27); that bargain, Laban kept, though the second of the two seven-year periods of servitude was foisted upon an unwitting Jacob. But there are six more unaccounted years that Jacob remained with Laban (31:38, 41). Therefore, at his departure at the end of that time, he could rightly claim more than just wives and children. At any event, an agreement is struck (30:34), though, apparently, Laban attempted to cheat Jacob a number of times (31:6–7a).
Jacob makes a reasonable request that his wages be the rarer multicolored sheep and goats in the flock (sheep are usually white; goats, black or brown) (30:32–33): no deception here. In fact, Jacob adduces his honesty explicitly, as he sets penalties on what would happen if the wrong kind of animal were found in his flock (30:33). Again, we see a transformed patriarch, not the deceptive one who stole his brother's blessing. This is further demonstrated in Jacob's reply to Laban's "What shall I give you?"—"You shall give nothing to me" (30:31)! This is surprising from a man who had, thus far, only sought to get from everybody around him.
The narrative of Jacob's husbandry of the flocks is cryptic (30:37–42). But Jacob's strategies seem neither deceitful nor accomplished in stealth. In any case, the outcome is clear: Jacob produces an abundance of livestock that are speckled, spotted, black, etc.,—his wages as he had stipulated to Laban. However it came about, it seems Jacob had done his best, using the best information on animal breeding techniques. But more importantly, Jacob, through all his endeavors, seems to have been cognizant of the fact that it was God who would give him the increase (31:6–13). Whatever might have been the scientific (or pseudo-scientific) explanation for Jacob's success, in the final reckoning God was the cause of the patriarch's checkmate of his uncle (31:1–13). Indeed, in Jacob's recital of the events to his wives in 31:4–13, there is no mention of his own activities, only of God's providence.
In effect, Laban's flocks are transformed into Jacob's! And the upshot was that Jacob became prosperous (30:43), fulfilling God's promise to him in 28:14. Notice how the statement of Jacob's prosperity is quite similar to that of his father and grandfather, explicitly said to be blessed by God (24:35; 26:13–14)—another clear indication of divine blessing in the description of Jacob's prosperity.

Have you heard the Rich Mullins song "Jacob and 2 Women" on the album "The World As I Remember It-Vol 1"? Very poignant song:

Common Sense?
gotta say tat street lamp accident not rili common sense......i dunno how to say tis , its kinda abstract .
Let's assume that common sense is just an "average" of things ranging from extreme risk taking, to panphobia (fear of everything).
In this way we can look at it like IQ and most other natural things, as a normal curve;
Normal people would fall at the middle, or at least within the dark blue bit (1 s.d.), slightly unusual people would fall in the 2 sections out from that (medium blue, 2 s.d.'s), and those who could be seen to have no common sense would fall in the last portions, with ~5% of the population.
Whether there is a correlation between high IQ and low "Functional IQ" or common sense, I do not know. However it is said that those less intelligent of us are very "Street Wise" - to quote Calvin... "It means they know what street they live on."
Sorry the file type can't show, but I assume you know what a normal curve looks like
I dunno, but Albert Einstein couldn't tie his own shoe… People who are apt to intelligence are so because they think in a different manner. (Which, of course, is why playing classical music to unborn babies can increase their intellectuality.) Pattern of thought varies from individuals, which is why some people are wondrous at math, while others are wondrous at language arts. (Although, statistically speaking, most people who are gifted in math can also learn a language easier than somebody who is not. Still, you can understand the point I'm trying to get across.) Bipolar, for example, are famous for being talented artists.
So, all this being said, common sense is called common because those who are blessed with it are blessed with the normal pattern of Human thought. However, people with metal talents that come off as geniuses are actually just unique. This is why we have "Idiot Savants" and the likes…
But eh... Throwing junk at wasp nests.... *Snicker.* Well, that's alright... I once road my bike off a 5 story drop onto jagged rocks... *Was lucky enough to latch onto a bush when he realized what he had done.*
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could...
Hmmm, common sense is an ambiguous word again.
As for me, I would define it with applied knowledge, applied experience or practical intelligence or something like that.
By screaming "Omg, that's common sense !" people usually mean something you should naturally understand, because it's obvious, but they forget it wouldn't be obvious, if we all didn't already know about it. It's not an indicator for one's intelligence at all, rather for once practicalness. For example most people agree I'm smart :phew:, but I happen to be pretty stupid at dealing with trivial everyday problems, because I lack common sense sometimes.
^Edit: I couldn't tie my shoes until third grade
Common sense is rooted in logic skills. For instance, as you said, my logic tells me throwing bottles at wasps is bad cause angry wasps = stinging and stinging = pain. Some people do lack common sense, but others are just eccentric and will try things that conflicts with common sense just for the sake of it. If everyone applied common sense to all areas, many inventions probably wouldn't have been created.
I have some friends they are so clever and intellegent... they seem to get top marks and stuff, but for some strange reason they are really clumsy lol and they don't have much common sense haha
ahh i been through to many common sense arguments but there is common sense whether u like it or not. for example how the fuck do u speak english with out learning it tell me
Common sense is VERY rare these days. I just don't know why!!!
Isn't because I meet more people, or I interact with more people now I'm older, or that I'm just meeting lots more stupid people than I ever did before.
^ I think its the invention of the net now ppl are more connected, and you can come across more....ppl
Others can do, others can't.
Others can't do, others can.
To God be the Glory :)
not reali.... wat is common sense to u may not be to others... it differs for evry1.
My brother is a genius and yet has no common sense to speak of!! I on the other hand have common sense but I am far from a genius!!
Taking over the world one human at a time!
common sense is actually misleading it's not so common at all, it varies after location since it is mainly what is socially acceptable in each culture, for instance the thing with that if your bladder is bursting you go to the toilet, it's common sense, it's what is socially expected of you, the practical solution is to let it rip where you are, problem solved.
I think you guys dont know what Common Sense really means. For your information Common sense is cognitive thinking. being able to judge or think practically.
Rara Avise
doing things with a lapse of judgement sounds like a casual human thing if ya ask me

Renukaji Tourism
The Renuka Lake (672 m) is regarded as the embodiment of Renukaji, the wife of the sage Jamadagini and the mother of Parshurama - one of the ten `Avatars` of Lord Vishnu. Shaped like the profile of a woman, the lake has the circumference of 2.5 km and is the largest in Himachal.
This placid stretch of water is fed by underground springs and the surrounding hills are padded by lush forests that support a large variety of plant and animal life. Boating and trekking are the additional attractions of Renukaji, whose natural beauty has to be seen to be believed. Here is a perfect year-around destination that beckons every traveller.
Renukaji Attractions
Jamu Peak
Directly above the lake is this peak where Rishi Jamadagini is said to have mediated. A footpath leads to this. There is a small temple and it offers an excellent view of the lake and surrounding area.
Prashurama Tal and Renuka temple
At the base of the Renuka lake, this large pool is considered to embrace Lord Parshurama, who wished too spend all eternity at his mother's feet. Reportedly built overnight by an invading force of Gurkhas in early 19th century, the original temple of Renukaji is here. Both mother and son are reunited every year at a celebratory fair held in November.
Renuka Lake
Legend has it that when the evil Sahasarjuna killed the sage Jamadagini and tried to abduct his wife Renuka, she flung herself into these waters. The gods restored her to life and this lake is regarded to be her embodiment. There is a row of temples along its banks, and a track encircles the waters. Boats are available on hire from the hotel.
The dam of the Giri hydel project is here and angling for Mahseer (river carp) may be done.
Lion Safari
Adjoining the zoo, an armoured van enters the large enclosure allowing for a close glimpse of the lions within.
Mini Zoo
You can boat across the lake or drive to this zoo, which has Asiatic lions, spotted deer, lion tailed macaques, 'nilgai', 'mithun', barking deer and Himalayan black bears.
Getting There
By Air
The nearest Airports are at Chandigarh and Dehradun.
By Rail
The nearest rail heads are at Ambala (95 km), Dehradun (126 km) and Chandigarh (95 km).
By Road
Renukaji is connected by road. It is 335 km from Delhi.
