The MixBit video was shot by YouTube founder Chad Hurley and includes the moment Yeezus dropped down to one knee in the middle of the outfield (doesn't everyone get proposed to in a rented out stadium with an orchestra and pyrotechnics?). And in true Kardashian fashion, a film crew appeared to be capturing the moment from start to finish.

The US Naval Air Warfare Centre is currently developing a suicide bomber simulation vest in an attempt to prepare soldiers for encounters with possibly rigged combatants, according to patent filings.
The device is supposed to be used as part of the Armed Forces' Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES), which uses lasers and blank cartridges to simulate actual battle-kind of like a superior version of laser tag.
The vest is covered in LEDs that broadcast appropriate MILES codes over a wide area, simulating how much destruction would happen if a similar vest went off in the real world. It also has sensors for places best to hit to disable the wearer without setting off the bomb. Good thing to know, especially as our world continues to move towards battling guerrilla tactics rather than "Rules of Engagement"-style warfare. [Firearmblog]

Dear Tesla,
This will sound a bit stupid, because you obviously know all about this already (or something smarter). However, I really want you to succeed, so I'll share this idea anyway.
Right now, you are seeing a lot of demand from Scandinavia, especially Norway. That's because
1) cars in general are very expensive in these countries, due to taxation, as is petrol (also due to taxation)
2) governments are generally very pro-environment, and open to subsidizing various "green" projects
3) there is little local competition, compared to e.g. Germany. actually there is only Volvo, which isn't exactly doing great
4) people are pretty well-off and "green"-minded - it's a bit like California, except the weather sucks
At the same time, your costs to sell cars in Europe are high because of import duties and shipping.
Now, here's my suggestion. In the area of Gothenburg, in Sweden, both Volvo Cars and Saab Automotive have contributed to creating a "car production cluster", with plenty of access to skilled workers and subcontractors. Problem is, neither Volvo Cars not Saab are doing well. They have both been sold to Chinese buyers, and I'm not sure those Chinese buyers will keep the production if their business plans don't work out.
So why not place a plant somewhere around Gothenburg? There is all the infrastructure you need, including ready access to ports for shipping, all placed inside the EU. And it's really close to Norway, but offers much lower-cost labor. Probably, there is also soon at least one factory looking for a new owner, so I'm pretty sure the local and state government would do almost anything to have you establish yourself there if they lose either Saab or Volvo.
I know you're planning to build in Holland instead, but this might part of a longer-term plan?
Anyways, hope I'll see you around soon.
Interesting idea!
I think Tesla should fly you all-expenses paid to CA where you can present this idea to the team. :-)
I think so too :-)

Rehabbing Furcal playing role of cheerleader
MIAMI -- A strained hamstring may be keeping Marlins second baseman Rafael Furcal out of the lineup, but it hasn't diminished the 36-year-old's importance on the team.
Furcal is doing his part to root on his teammates and offer pointers when necessary.
Thus far, the club has offered plenty to cheer about.
"We've got a good team," Furcal said. "We're playing good. We keep fighting. That's the way it should be. I'm so happy. When you play that way, anything can happen."
Furcal strained his hamstring during a Grapefruit League game on March 15. He opened the season on the disabled list, retroactive to March 21.
On Monday, the veteran will head to the Roger Dean Stadium complex in Jupiter, Fla., to join extended spring training. Once he is running without discomfort and cleared to play in games, he will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Jupiter.
Furcal is expected to need pretty much all of the 21 days allotted for his rehab assignment. So he may not be ready to return until late April or early May.
With Furcal out, Jeff Baker and Derek Dietrich have been handling second base.

ECO. essential oils are sourced from ethical sources and chosen from suppliers specifically to contain the best active constituents. ECO. essential oil blends have been crafted and blended from the pure essences of plants; their single oils are 100% pure and natural, and highly concentrated with therapeutic properties.
How to use Essential Oils
Add 2-4 drops of essential oil to your diffuser after having added water to the fill line. Some oils may require 4-8 drops to be added.
Essential oils should always be diluted before applying to the skin. Blend essential oil with coconut oil, almond oil or any other suitable carrier oil for massage.
Essential oils suitable for inhalation should be diluted by adding 1-2 drops of essential oil to a bowl of steaming water. Place a towel over your head and the bowl of water. With your eyes closed, inhale the scent for up to 5 minutes at a time.
Other uses
You can add 3-5 drops of essential oil to a full bath of water, or onto a face washer placed in the bottom of your shower.
Rollerbottles are handy for 'on the go' applications – simply fill a rollerbottle with your preferred carrier oil and add some drops of your essential oil. You can also fit a rollerball top to an essential oil bottle rather than using a separate bottle – make sure to dilute your oil however. If that sounds like too much work, you can simply purchase ready made rollerbottles.
Essential oils are great additions to bases to make your own personal care items such as soaps, face creams or shampoos. You can also use essential oils to help cut down on chemicals in your cleaning supplies. Make sure to check out our blog articles for more ideas!

Analyst: iPhone is Harry Potter "squib" of cellphonesApple and AT&T may have produced marketplace magic in the past, but a new report claims that the firms' iPhone child may lack the gifts of its parents.
Timing the introduction of his report just after the release of the final Harry Potter book, Capital Group senior VP Ashok Kumar told investors that the iPhone had the pedigree of the iPod's success and the backbone of AT&T's service but that, like the unfortunate offspring in J.K. Rowling's stories, the combination fails to live up to the expectations set by its ancestors.
"In the Harry Potter books, a squib is the offspring of a witch and wizard that lacks the ability to produce magic," Kumar explained. "In the technology world, the iPhone is a product from Apple teamed with the wireless network of AT&T that lacks the ability to produce magical business growth."
Unlike the more mysterious origins of the fictional characters, however, the lackluster results for the iPhone are said to be traceable to mistakes made in the iPhone's features and pricing. The device is aimed squarely at the iPod's general public audience but is priced in the same range as personal digital assistants and smartphones. Either flaw could be a potentially fatal blow to the handset, Kumar said.
While businesses already have their own self-evident questions about the value of integrating a potentially less productive (and more distracting) smartphone into their networks when RIM's BlackBerry or Palm's Treo were already known to work well, the real issue is the expense of the iPhone for those used to both the the iPod and everyday cellphones, according to the report. The iPod has rarely been priced at $500 and never had a two-year contract associated with its use —an especially serious problem when customers can get some of the features in much less expensive devices.
"The market is already saturated with popular [phones] that are virtually free to consumers," the expert wrote. "The perceived zero cost of a cellphone like the Motorola RAZR is a serious impediment... the $500 price difference between and iPhone and any number of richly featured [phones] is a lot for a large number of individuals and families to overcome."
Apple would also have to confront the backwash from the corporate world's traditional resistance to anything Mac in the workplace, as many IT managers might resist certifying the iPhone for their networks even if support falls into place. Both the Cupertino-based firm and its cellphone would have to overcome old stereotypes before they could gain acceptance, Kumar said.
In contrast to the squibs of Hogwarts, Apple is not necessarily condemned to mediocrity, according to the Capital Group. But the iPhone would not be guaranteed a better outcome unless its parent was willing to change its strategy, which could become a costly mistake in the long term.
"The old iPod magic doesn't translate here —the iPhone is going to be much more difficult," Kumar noted.

This weekend I recorded the first episode of a weekly podcast. It is called Live. Love. Eat, and each episode is an interview with someone who has stepped up to share the story of her (or his) relationships with food and with her body. She may be a disordered eater, she may be a paleo dieter, she may be totally at peace with her body or not. The whole point being that I can do all of the writing on my blog here that I want, but I will never be able to do something as empowering, comforting, and inspiring as sharing with y'all the beautiful and brilliant lives of others.
Additionally: I really, passionately want this movement to be about community ownership. It's not just me, living the example– it's millions, and every one of us has a powerful story and voice. I consider it an honor to be gifted with those stories, and an even greater honor to share them with the community.
Search on iTunes or download and/or subscribe from iTunes here. We'd appreciate it if you left a review whether you like it or not.
If you're not into iTunes, click here to download and/or subscribe.
Episode One is with guest Manda Leisten.
Amanda Leisten (Manda) was born and raised in Colorado but has recently embraced Sioux Falls, South Dakota as her current home. She makes a living through American Sign Language Interpreting which is just one of her many passions. She loves spending time with family and friends, enjoys a good book, feels at peace when writing, and sings almost constantly. Much to Stefani's chagrin she also is quite fond of the color pink. Loving life and living to love is what she is most driven by and she is currently working toward the serenity of self-love. Manda, also, is a compulsive overeater and a member of Overeaters Anonymous a 12-step program geared toward helping disordered eaters find serenity through self-growth and acceptance. She is engaged to be married to Ben who, too, is a disordered eater. They enjoy cooking healthful foods together and helping each other continue to love and discover new things about themselves. Their future plans currently contain nothing but bliss and happiness because Manda is working diligently on not planning too many things; just enjoying life as it comes. Manda's most recent ambition is to help the women of the world help and love themselves as they are, which is why she is a part of this kick-ass revolution. She can be read at her blog: primalterp.blogspot.com, or reached at her gmail, email@example.com.
Two final relevant notes:
If you would like to be on the podcast, please contact me via my contact tab. I would love to have you on, no matter where you on your journey or what kind of person you are, or how popular or not. We are all worth it, and I want the depth and reality of your life to be heard, should you have something you would like to say.
Leaving a review of the podcast really is important. It's the most powerful way to reach people who might find resonance in and solace from our work. Sharing it in other mediums is cool, too, as in everything we do, but in all cases I invite you to help us as much as you please. Podcasts, additionally, are expensive, if you want to help us in that donation kind of way.
One fun relevant note:
I grew up with a speech impediment. I'm mostly better these days, but I'll be tickled if you can spot it and poke fun at me.
Note - some links above may contain affiliate links. You don't pay more, but we get a small cut to help keep this organization running. It's tough to balance ethics with the need to stay alive. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

(Phoenix, AZ—June 4, 2003) Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard is warning Arizonans to be wary of a scam known as "the Canadian Lottery" that is particularly affecting the elder community.
Fraudulent telemarketers are calling unsuspecting Americans, including Arizona consumers, telling them that they have won a prize in the Canadian Lottery. Usually these calls are made from the Canadian cities of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, but have also originated in New York state, near the Canadian border.
Although there is a legitimate lottery in Canada, it works similar to lotteries in the United States, with individual provinces selling their own tickets. The "Canadian Lottery" is a scheme that is being used to fleece consumers in the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigations recently estimated that $80 million to $100 million dollars are stolen by criminals using this scam.
"Unfortunately, senior citizens are being preyed upon by these unscrupulous and illegal telemarketers," said Goddard. "The monetary loss has been substantial. For example, an 83 year-old woman in Phoenix lost $100,000, and that was only one of the cases that we have investigated."
There are two common variations of this scheme. In one a man who claims to be a lawyer from a prestigious law firm in Canada calls to inform you that the Canadian courts have been ordered to distribute millions of dollars from illegal telemarketers to American consumers who have played the Canadian lottery. You just need to send a processing fee, or legal fee, before you can be paid. The caller then will say that the judge has a gag order on this case and if you tell anyone, you will not receive the money.
In the second version someone calls to say that you have won a case prize and then the caller lets another person, someone who claims to be a lawyer or a Canadian customs official, on the phone to explain how you have won the money in a special lottery. All that you have to do is send a cashier's check to pay for Canadian customs. The caller will warn you if your banker asks why you need the money, tell them it is for personal business.
Usually the callers are relentless. They will call and be friendly, call the person by their first name and ask for the person to do the same. They will continue to call until the person sends the money.
This is how the legitimate lottery in Canada works. Each Canadian province has its own lottery. Tickets similar to the ones used in the Arizona lottery are sold. Most importantly, you CANNOT win without buying a ticket. Canadian Officials do not contact winners and you NEVER have to send CASH to anyone to redeem a prize, even if they say it is an emergency.
Here are some red flags to look for:
- Unsolicited calls asking if you would like to be in a "Lottery pool."
- Mail notifying you that you have already won a substantial sum of money.
- Any request for you to send cash to redeem your prize.
- The caller telling you that you must keep your winnings a secret to avoid tax consequences.
"It is always better to err on the side of caution," said Goddard. "Time spent on researching could make all the difference between a legitimate and a fraudulent claim."
If you suspect a scam, please get as much information as possible from the caller, including a call back telephone number, and call the Attorney General's Elder Affairs Program at (602) 542-2124.

Ask Dr. Wally
I was on a group ride where the leader insisted on riding well out into the traffic lane. At times, he was directly in the center or even left of center. Isn't that dangerous? I'm afraid it will anger motorists and they'll take it out on the next cyclist they see. Too many of them are maniacs already.
Rita in Hayward
Lovely Rita,
You wouldn't be a meter maid perchance?
You'll be happy to know that very few motorists are sociopaths. For the most part, they're just normal people who'd rather not hit you for fear of getting in trouble with the law. Some are no doubt worried about scratches and dents in their cars, too. Sociopaths are few and far between, though they're usually not deterred by societal mores. I speak from experience because Doris, my second ex-wife, was a sociopathic nut job without regard for restraining orders, barbed wire, or locked doors. A friend loaned me his Doberman to guard the house. The dog was a carbide-tipped eating machine named Fritz, and Doris developed a great deal of respect for him - along with a pronounced limp when the cops took her away. She had that for a couple of weeks, I'm told. That dog may have developed a taste for human flesh as I caught him eyeballing my legs when he was hungry. After that, I made a point of feeding him every couple of hours.
But, like I said, car-driving sociopaths are very rare. We're more at risk from a driver doing something stupid, like a right hook, a left hook, or the oh-my-god-I-never-saw-him-Officer as they pull out from a side street. These are the most common car/bike collisions. (In case you were unaware, a right hook is when a motorist passes a cyclist, and then makes an immediate right turn across his front wheel. A left hook motorist is making a left turn in front of a bicyclist, and the guy pulling out from a side street is looking well past the cyclist for fast moving traffic.) In all three cases, the best means of preventing one of these maneuvers is to ride further to the left in the lane. That may seem counter-intuitive because you may think it puts you at greater risk. On the contrary, it puts you where motorists are more likely to see you, and even if they don't, you're in a better position to avoid them by turning right or left using the so-called instant turn, or you can brake very hard and still have room to maneuver.
Sadly, Doris has a parole hearing coming up soon, so it's likely there will be one more actual maniac on the road. The up side is that she won't be focused on anyone but me. I wonder if Fritz can learn to ride a tandem?

Stolen Pixels #156: 2009
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
It's been a good four decades of games. Here's to a good four more.
Taking me back in my years, lol. Still hard to imagine some games been so old, but, a great timeline!
Oh, I had so much fun playing Donkey Kong during my childhood... and I'll never know how I managed to beat it in the end, I only wish I was still tat good at it... or could even find it...
Pong to MW2, gameplay wise, has not come far.
Pong: It's a ball going from a line to another
Yay! One more year of Stolen Pixels!
Nice comic, but out of all the stuff that came out in 2009, the best you could come up with was Modern Warfare 2? A game that did nothing to advance its genre and inovate it in any way? Kinda seems out of place...
Wow. I can only imagine how much work it must have been to put that comic together! Great work, Shamus!
I remember playing Pong at a friend's house in 1978(ish). I would have been 11 years old. I wasn't very good at it.
As in the old arcade game?
You do realise that you can't "Beat it"?
No, the one on the Gameboy. Arcade machines are pretty rare around where I live.
lol ok then, because i had a massive facepalm moment when i thought you were referring to the one on the old Arcade machines haha.
I remember Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, that shit was challenging...come to think of it, most Donkey Kong games have been pretty hard
We have come a long way...
Also, holy shit. Morrowind. It's 7 fucking years old. And 7 + 1330 = 1337.
See the conspiracy?
What do you mean where's the punchline ? "2009 - Modern Warfare 2"
Wow, Modern Warfare 2 huh?
It's a wonder how much money Kotick can spread around, isn't it?
way too many wrpgs, but hey, that's just an opinion.
Happy new year everybody!
Very nice list. I completely forgot about Dig Dug. That was fun...
1997 - What happened to GoldenEye? Aww, well. Not that important, I guess.
37 years? An interesting anniversy to pick ;) But indeed, it has been an overall good 37 years of gaming; and may many more follow!
Awww, that's really an awesome comic.
There were a few years which were incredibly dense with titles and it was impossible to do them justice. 1998, 1999, and 2004 were all huge years with multiple earth-shaking titles all showing up together.
Awww... you're not going to just say that and not give us a quick list for those years, are you? I mean, I could go do the research myself, but you've already done it, and if you posted it here then we wouldn't ALL have to go do it, and anyways I want effortless gratification and I want it now!
StarCraft, Unreal, Fallout 2, Grim Fandango, Half-Life, Thief: The Dark Project, Baldur's Gate
Look at that. FIVE huge franchises launched that year.
System Shock 2, Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament, Planescape: Torment, Age of Empires II, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Homeworld, Outcast, Rollercoaster Tycoon
Three franchises launched. (Unreal Tournament, Homeworld, and RCT)
FarCry, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Doom 3, Fable, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, EverQuest II, Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft, The Sims 2.
-"My goal wasn't to pick out the "best" game of each year, but to pick out a historically significant title"
-MW2 is biggest game launch of all time, and still ridiculously popular online.
I know the goal wasn't to pick the best game, but rather the significant ones, that's why I found MW2 a perplexing choice. As I said, the game is in no way significant. As for its launch, it wasn't THAT big. "Significantly large" is World of Warcraft compared to all the MMOs before it (and after it), bringing the MMO genre into the mainstream spotlight. MW2 was bigger than most games at launch, but not by several orders of magnitude.
I was just a bit suprised at the choice for 2009. I'd have went for, say, Demon's Souls or something like that...
The old cabinet style arcade games can be beat. Watch the documentary The King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters. The doc itself takes some liberties with its subjects, but it shows what the end of "King Kong" looks like.
From Wikipedia:
According to preliminary sales figures from Activision, Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7 million units in both the United States and the UK in the first 24 hours of its release. The total revenue from first day sales in the U.S. and the UK was $310 million, making Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment launch in history, surpassing (in revenue) its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto IV,[76][77] as well as items from other media types.[78][79] After five days of sales, the game had earned revenue figures of $550 million worldwide.[80] Activision also claims that Modern Warfare 2 had 8 million players online within the first five days, constituting the largest 'army' of players in the world.[81]
Actually Tennis for two was the first game ever. It was made in 58.
Well, I'm proud of you for being able to look things up on Wikipedia, but I don't see what your point is...
Every game on the list from 1991 on is a PC game, and quite a few of them are RTS. Huh.
Do you honestly believe that Duke Nukem 3D is more historically significant than Super Mario 64? What about Final Fantasy VII, which basically popularized JRPGs in the west like no game before it?
P.S. Thanks
You're saying you can't see how the biggest-selling piece of entertainment in history is historically significant?
Okay then.
It's hard to imagine (to my stand point) on how far we've come in Gameplay, Graphics, audio, etc. HURRAY for technology! :D
If I may, I think he's saying that there are better choices you could take from this year that would better reflect the positive aspect of the gaming industry. MewTwo is indeed historically significant, but it is also a bit of a stain on the multicolored quilt that is the video games industry for many gamers.
Sigh... Thankfully, someone else got what I was trying to say:
The game cashed in. While that's nice, I still don't consider it a significant game, or at least not as significant as some other titles this year...
I think deciding the historical impact of 2009 in 2009 is impossible. Or 2008 or even a few years earlier for that matter. Picking the big splash makes sense to me considering that the suggested alternative was a game I had to look up (not a bash against the game, just saying that gaining consensus now on anything *but* economic factors is impossible).
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee @ Dig Dug.
And I think treating it as an invalid choice is completely unreasonable. You didn't just imply that there were better choices, you acted like it was completely unreasonable to include a game which...
Brace for all caps mode:
End all caps mode.
Second-guessing the list is part of the conversation here, and by all means offer your own suggestions. There were lots of great titles this year and it will be interesting to see which ones are still being played five years from now. But the position that MW2 shouldn't be considered is simply untenable.
Bitter PC gamers, of course.
[/Sigh, that was a joke.]
Man, seeing that Quake 3 picture takes me back...
And I'm suprised you dind't have Tetris on there.
The reason being is that its basically the most recognizable game in the world next to Mario. And you can buy it pretty much anywhere today, you can even search on google and find it as a free-to-play flash game.
But you can't get 'em all I guess.
Although I think Goldeneye for the N64 should have been on there. It basically started console the whole Console FPS generation.
Even compared to todays games, its still freaking amazing.
And even after all these years, whenever someone chooses to play as Oddjob, I still want to punch them in the face with the same passion as I did in 1997.
Ah, the good old days.

Why The Net Matters: How the Internet Will Save Civilization is a digital book/iPad app that develops a new kind of way to navigate a non-fiction argument, to zoom in and out on 3D interactive figures, and to navigate with random-access chapters. This is not an iBook, but instead a new species of book. You can pick up Why The Net Matters as an iPad app on the iTunes Store or as an ebook on Amazon.
Why the Net Matters was a finalist for the Digital Book World Innovation Awards.
What's the book about? Why the Net Matters argues that the advent of the internet sidesteps the dangers that brought down previous civilizations. If you'd like a taste of the content, here's a talk I delivered at the Long Now Foundation (For over a week this was the most watched video on fora.tv, and was ranked the #8 technology talk of 2010)
Six Easy Steps to Avert the Collapse of Civilization from The Long Now Foundation on FORA.tv
This thesis about the internet started life as a short piece I wrote in Nature in 2006 about the internet and epidemics, and then fleshed out in a short essay in WIRED and in the book Is the Internet Changing the Way You Think?
Here's a demonstration of the app in action:

Literacy at Sequoyah begins with the Journeys curriculum as the foundation. This curriculum is taught through the structure of reading and writing workshops. Workshops begin with a mini-lesson about specific reading or writing skills. The lesson is short, very focused, and led by the teacher. There is an opportunity for students to try out the new skill together with the teacher's guidance, after which the students will practice the skill independently. During the time the students are working independently, the teacher is monitoring their work and is working with small groups. Students are provided opportunities to read independently or with peers, respond to the books they're reading, work on research projects, and discuss texts with the teacher and one another. Writing time allows students to apply a newly taught skill to their writing, edit and revise with peers, and practice being a writer, as well as individually conference with the teacher for specific feedback.
The Journeys curriculum gives teachers and students much exposure to and practice with technology, from electronic books, to literacy activities that build on new learnings, to web-based writing. Students today must be technologically savvy and Journeys helps with this! But teachers also know it is crucial that their students hold and read actual copies of books, too. Sequoyah Elementary has not only a large library for students to routinely browse and make book selections, but an extensive literacy library where teachers select sets of appropriate books for their students to read together. Students at Sequoyah are exposed to many pieces of quality literature daily.

Barack Obama was a first-time author and rookie politician embarking upon his first run for public office. Hermene Hartman was the publisher of N'Digo, a magazine in Chicago aimed at upscale black readers. As Ms. Hartman tells it, she got a call from Mr. Obama in the fall of 1995 saying he wanted to come and talk. He wanted her to read his newly published memoir.
Ms. Hartman read the book, "Dreams From My Father," but chose not to review it. Mr. Obama's life story struck her as too exotic for her readers the Kenyan father, the white mother, the childhood in Honolulu and Jakarta, Indonesia. But she felt she had gotten to know him from his writing; when he ran for the United States Senate eight years later, N'Digo became the first magazine to put Mr. Obama on its cover.
"Barack is a very focused, determined person," said Ms. Hartman, who now considers Mr. Obama a friend. "Barack would go to people one by one and say, 'Here's my book, I want you to read it, give me feedback.' For me, as a publisher, he wanted me to write about it. He would call me every week and say, 'Did you read my book?' "
Senator Obama understands as well as any politician the power of a well-told story. He has risen in politics less on his track record than on his telling of his life story a tale he has packaged into two hugely successful books that have helped make him a mega-best-selling, two-time Grammy-winning millionaire front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination at age 46. According to his publisher, there are more than three million copies of his books in print and two more books on the way.
The story of Mr. Obama's life as an author tells as much about him as some of the stories he has recounted in his books. It possesses at times the same charmed quality sometimes ascribed to his political ascent an impression of ease, if not exactly effortlessness, that obscures a more complex amalgam of drive, ambition, timing and the ability to recognize an opportunity and to do what it takes to seize it.
Just as he was eager to promote his first book to Ms. Hartman, he has made the most of his second. When his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention sent his memoir soaring out of obscurity and straight onto the best-seller list, he untethered himself from his longtime literary agent in favor of Robert B. Barnett, the Washington lawyer who had gotten Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton an $8 million book advance and then landed Mr. Obama a $1.9 million, three-book deal.
He finished his second book, "The Audacity of Hope," 18 months into his first term in the Senate, edited the proofs late at night on a Congressional fact-finding trip to Africa, plunged into campaigning for colleagues in the midterm elections, took time out for a 12-city book tour, appeared on programs like "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Charlie Rose," then announced four months later that he was running for president.
The books have defined Mr. Obama's public image in a way that few books by politicians have done. Reporters paw through them for insights into Mr. Obama the candidate, supplied by Mr. Obama the author. Out of his story, he has also drawn the central promise of his campaign: if a biracial son of a Kenyan and a Kansan could reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable in himself, a divided country could do the same.
His memoir is, as one publisher put it, "the single most vetted book in American politics right now." Written at a time when Mr. Obama says he was thinking less about a career in politics than about simply writing a good book, it leaves an impression of candidness and authenticity that gives it much of its power. Reporters have questioned Mr. Obama's use of fictional techniques like composite characters, but some editors and critics say that is common in memoirs.
"The book is so literary," said Arnold Rampersad, a professor of English at Stanford University who teaches autobiography and is the author of a recent biography of Ralph Ellison. "It is so full of clever tricks inventions for literary effect that I was taken aback, even astonished. But make no mistake, these are simply the tricks that art trades in, and out of these tricks is supposed to come our realization of truth."
In a telephone interview on Friday, Mr. Obama said he would not be surprised if some people had gotten involved in his campaign "because they feel they know me through my books." But he said he was not even thinking about political consequences when he wrote the memoir. In fact, he said, one editor warned him back then that his references to drug use could come back to haunt him if he were ever nominated for the Supreme Court.
"This is an example of what happens when you look at things backwards," Mr. Obama said when asked whether he had his political future in mind when he first began to write. "Then everything looks like, 'Ah! Of course this was part of some well-calibrated consideration.' But frankly, no. It would have been very hard for me to anticipate that I'd be where I am today, where a book that I wrote almost 20 years ago now would even be read."
Early Exposure
Mr. Obama's story first surfaced publicly in February 1990, when he was elected as the first black president of The Harvard Law Review. An initial wire service report described him simply as a 28-year-old, second-year student from Hawaii who had "not ruled out a future in politics"; but in the days that followed, newspaper reporters grew interested and produced long, detailed profiles of Mr. Obama.
The coverage prompted a call to him from Jane Dystel, a gravelly-voiced literary agent described by Peter Osnos, then the publisher of Times Books, as "a good journeyman with a hard edge." The home page of her firm's Web site currently features clients' best sellers including "Lies at the Altar: The Truth About Great Marriages." Ms. Dystel suggested Mr. Obama write a book proposal. Then she got him a contract with Poseidon Press, a now-defunct imprint of Simon & Schuster. When he missed his deadline, she got him another contract and a $40,000 advance from Times Books.
Mr. Obama's original plan was to write a book about race relations. But, sitting down to write, he found his mind "pulled toward rockier shores." So the book became more personal the record of an interior journey, as he put it in the introduction, "a boy's search for his father, and through that a search for a workable meaning for his life as a black American."
Mr. Obama was given an office to write in at the University of Chicago through a surprising connection. Douglas G. Baird, a professor who was head of the law school's appointments committee, had learned of Mr. Obama from Michael W. McConnell, a conservative constitutional scholar then at Chicago whom President Bush would later make a federal judge.
Professor McConnell encountered Mr. Obama during the editing of an article he wrote for The Harvard Law Review, Professor Baird said recently. "He sent a note saying this person is really brilliant, we should have him on our radar screen," Professor Baird said. Professor Baird called Mr. Obama at Harvard and asked if he was interested in teaching.
"I don't remember his exact words, but it was something to the effect that, 'Well, in fact, I want to write this book.' What he really wanted was the Virginia Woolf equivalent of a clean, well lighted room." So Professor Baird got him one, a small office near the law library, along with a law school fellowship that Professor Baird hoped might later lead to his full-time teaching.
By the time Mr. Obama landed at Times Books, he had a partial manuscript. He required minimal editing, said Henry Ferris, his editor, who is now a vice president and executive editor at William Morrow. He simply needed guidance in paring and shaping the sections already written and keeping the rest from becoming too long. The writing, Mr. Ferris said, "is very much his own."
The two worked mostly by telephone and by manuscripts sent by Federal Express between New York and Chicago. Mr. Obama, an inveterate journal writer who had published poems in a college literary magazine but had never attempted a book, struggled to finish. His half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, said he eventually retreated to Bali for several months with his wife, Michelle, "to find a peaceful sanctuary where there were no phones." He showed drafts to a few close relatives including his grandmother, of whom Ms. Soetoro-Ng said, "It probably made her a little nervous, having the family written about, just because you don't do that in Kansas."
In the introduction, Mr. Obama acknowledged his use of pseudonyms, composite characters, approximated dialogue and events out of chronological order. He was writing at a time well before a recent series of publishing scandals involving fabrication in memoirs. "He was trying to be careful of people's feelings," said Deborah Baker, the editor on the first paperback edition of the book. "The fact is, it all had a sort of larger truth going on that you couldn't make up."
A Memoir Revived
The book came out in the summer of 1995, shortly before Mr. Obama announced that he was running for the Illinois State Senate. At 57th Street Books, in Mr. Obama's neighborhood in Chicago, a few dozen people turned out for a reading. There were respectful reviews in newspapers including The New York Times and The Boston Globe. Times Books sold 8,000 to 9,000 copies.
"I joke that 290 million Americans did not buy the book," he said.
Kodansha Globe, a now-defunct branch of a Japanese company, bought the paperback rights for $5,000 to $7,500 and printed about 6,000 copies in 1996, said Philip Turner, Kondansha's editor in chief at the time. The cover carried a blurb from Marian Wright Edelman: "Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white."
"Even now, it's hard to get my mind around the idea that this person is in politics," said Ms. Baker, who described Mr. Obama as a born writer. "I actually think he could be a brilliant politician. He was ambitious as a writer in the same way very cunning in the way he structured the book. I remember thinking, 'This guy really knows how to tell a story.' "
But within a few years, "Dreams From My Father" was out of print.
Then in March 2004, Mr. Obama's political and literary fortunes abruptly shifted. His victory in a tightly contested United States Senate primary in Illinois made him an overnight Democratic Party sensation. In New York City, Rachel Klayman, an editor at Crown Books, read a Salon.com article on Mr. Obama by the author Scott Turow, an Obama friend, titled "The New Face of the Democratic Party and America."
Ms. Klayman looked up Mr. Obama's memoir on Amazon.com and found that the rights were controlled by Crown, which now had the Times Books list. She sent an e-mail message to her boss, suggesting that Crown reissue the book. She contacted Ms. Dystel and asked Mr. Obama to write a new preface, which came in nearly word perfect.
Then Mr. Obama was chosen to give the keynote speech at the Democratic convention.
Crown moved up the publication date, Barnes & Noble increased its order to 20,000 copies, and the book hit the top 50 on Amazon before it was even reissued. Bidding on eBay for a first edition copy hit $255. By December, Mr. Obama was the senator-elect and his book had been on the best-seller list for 14 weeks. And Ms. Dystel had initiated discussions with Crown about a new book contract for Mr. Obama.
Two weeks before Mr. Obama's swearing in, Crown announced that it had signed a contract with him for three more books. The first would offer "a window into the political and spiritual convictions that propelled Obama's recent U.S. Senate victory." The second will be a children's book about his life, and the third is yet to be defined. The deal had been initiated by Ms. Dystel, the announcement said, but "negotiated and concluded by Robert B. Barnett of Williams & Connolly LLP."
What happened between Mr. Obama and Ms. Dystel is not clear. Ms. Dystel declined to be interviewed for this article. Mr. Obama said, "It really had more to do with the fact that by the time 'The Audacity of Hope' was written, I was going to be in Washington and was obviously now very high profile." Mr. Osnos called Mr. Obama's decision to switch to Mr. Barnett, whose clients include former Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain, "disloyal but not unusual."
Others said it was understandable. "You're nobody in Washington without Barnett working for you," said a rival publisher, who asked not to be named. "Bob knows how to deal with the politics of a book as well as the selling of the book, Senate ethics rules, the advance. Bob is a fixer." Unlike literary agents, who take a percentage of an author's earnings, Mr. Barnett bills by the hour.
Mr. Obama completed "The Audacity of Hope" in the summer of 2006. This time, he distributed drafts to several dozen friends and Senate staff members, many of whom now advise his campaign. They included David Axelrod, his chief political strategist; Anthony Lake, who was a national security adviser for President Bill Clinton; Gene Sperling, a former economic adviser to Mr. Clinton; and Samantha Power, who recently stepped down as a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Obama after calling his opponent, Mrs. Clinton, "a monster."
"He wrote very polished first drafts," said Cass R. Sunstein, a University of Chicago law professor who read drafts of chapters on the Constitution and economic policy. "He was very clear to me that these were drafts on which he hoped for comments. I wrote very detailed comments. And afterwards he accepted a small minority of my comments. I gave him some potential formulations for what he might write. He always put it in his own words. Not once did he use my words."
A Second Success
The book's release in October 2006 must have been the envy of anyone who ever published a book or contemplated higher office. In Chicago, people started lining up outside 57th Street Books at 4:15 on the morning of Mr. Obama's book signing. For his Seattle signing, the Elliott Bay Book Company rented the 2,500-seat hall where the symphony performs, sold out the tickets in 90 minutes and reported a level of turnout that topped all previous records at the store for any author, including Mr. Clinton.
Time magazine published an excerpt of the book and put Mr. Obama on the cover, with a line that said "Why Barack Obama Could Be the Next President." An adoring photo essay inside shows him doing things like washing the breakfast dishes with his daughter.
"Barack is worth millions now," Mr. Osnos said. "It's almost all based on these two books, two books not based on a job of prodigious research or risking one's life as a reporter in Iraq. He has written about himself. Being able to take your own life story and turn it into this incredibly lucrative franchise, it's a stunning fact."

Everything you experience is That. To go looking for an experience of the Self has to be self defeating because you cannot find what you already are. You cannot experience anything that is not the Self, so where can you go to find it? What is really required is recognition, often called realization.
Realization is an understanding, and the beauty of this understanding, is that you don't have to be experiencing oneness or bliss to know who you are. This is why Vedanta is considered knowledge, and why it is the knowledge that ends the search.
Of course, if you want to pursue experience, you can find ones that are blissful and unitary. Experiences of mystical union, however short, can have profound effects. There is probably nothing that feels better than the ecstasy of the experience of oneness. These experiences, however wonderful, may not lead to understanding.
To chase after the experience of oneness can be frustrating, because, as an experience, it doesn't last. And if you make the error that the experience of oneness is enlightenment, you will set yourself up for a lifetime of searching, because no experience lasts.
Experiences of oneness, bliss, and ecstasy can, however, point to understanding. They become part of your understanding. They can contribute to the knowledge you need to understand who you are. It is a boon to experience oneness, as opposed to the limited experience we typically have.
When the experience of oneness is gone, understanding is what keeps you on an even keel. What really helps is firm conviction and sureness as to our real being. The knowledge of our actual beingness as Awareness. One with all that is.
Knowing oneself as Awareness keeps one from continually looking for a particular experience. With understanding, one doesn't mind the particular experiences of a limited human form. They are just an experience, not who you are.
Awareness sees through many forms, and experiences what is particular to that form. Awareness, as John Doe, picks up the qualities and positions that make up John Doe. This is experience, and it may feel limited, but it is not who you are.
To get beyond limitation requires understanding. It requires an understanding that is deep and broad, seeing that the whole world is but a myriad of local focal points superimposed on oneness. Only understanding will take you beyond experience.
The understanding is twofold. The first is to see that everything is a form of the One. The second is to see that you are That One. Seeing this is understanding.

Polish Lowland Sheepdog, PON breeders, PON the dog, PONS, Polish Lowland Sheepdog Information
The Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) is a robust sheepdog with roots in Tibet. In fact, it is said that the heavy fur which covers the eyes of this sheepdog is a natural adaptation to the glaring sunlight of the region. Nomadic tribes traveled with the ancestors of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs during their migration to European countries and the breed became established among the local population. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs developed a reputation for hard work, loyalty and strong herding instincts.
The breed's herding instincts have survived for centuries and even today, they still need a job and will attempt to herd their human families in the absence of sheep. Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) lovers will appreciate reading the PON Digest online publication to learn more about this beloved breed. PON Digest provides reliable information for those wishing to raise PON puppies and is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog Information guide.

Chatham and Witherell, Sr. winners of Legacy Contest
A "Living Legacy" means that you are the person that will remember and pass on the story of someones life to another so that their life can be remembered by everyone.
My grandfather, better known to myself as my Gramps, Rich Witherell Sr, is my living legacy. My grandfather was the inspiration that got me into bowling, as I would always be there every sunday watching the PBA, whether it be something on TV live, or something he recorded on a VHS player that was always a good show. He inspired me to bowl, and at the age of 7 I started bowling my first league in which he would come every week to watch, no matter the weather, and no matter how good or bad I did. He always rooted me on, and the look on his face when I strike is something I will never forget.
Unfortunately, the first tournament he ever missed due to an illness, I shot my first 800 series, and he was crushed that he missed it, but so proud at the same time. As I started getting older, he was showing his signs of old age as well. The following year, he came to my summer league for the first time all season (due to being in and out of the hospital), and I shot my first 300 in front of him, and he cried right there at the alley in excitement, a face I will always remember. He later saw an 800 series that same year, and he is recovering. He inspired me to bowl, cheered me on from the start, and watched me grow into the bowler I am, and now bowls with me in a doubles league.
My inspiration, my hero, Rich Witherell Sr.
