Student or Learner
I love a lot of things about different accent & this is my favourite.
In some British English accent, some speakers tend to add the sound of "t" in between the sound of "s/sh" and "n".
Few examples:
Finance: [email protected]
Chance: chA:nts
Pension: pent.S(sh)@n
Tense: tents
Sense: sents
and so on.
I wonder why this is not the case with the word "tension" though, as it can be seen here http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...ey=81956&ph=on
Does the sound of "t" REALLY miss from between "n" and "s" sound in the word "tension" OR is it merely the case of this dictionary simply missing the mention of "t" sound.
Interesting & thanks for that.Originally Posted by Casiopea
At least, I won't have to rely on ANY rules as where it occurs and where not & can be rest assured that it ALWAYS occurs between "n" and "s/sh" sound.
You're welcome, j4mes.
Oh, I know what you mean about "ANY rules". That "pen[t]sion" had [t] had me wondering why "ten[t]sion" didn't. After all, they are minimal pairs, right?
To err is human.
Have you contacted or thought about contacting the site to let them know about the misprint?
As you can imagine, lesser the rules to remember, better the learning process :DOriginally Posted by Casiopea
Some of the rules that I feel less comfortable with are:
>> identifying the exact sound of "th" in any words, as I'm torn between "T" (capital "T" as in "think") and sound of "D" (capital "d" as in "brother") or very often with "t" (small "t") as in "Thomas" or "Thames"
>> the rules about sounds in French words or French language, since without knowing the pronunciation, you couldn't possibly make yourself understood.
By the way, I'm afraid the link isn't working.
I just came across the phonetics of "insane". Wouldn't you say it should have its phonetics as:Originally Posted by Casiopea
Int.seIn rather than In.seIn
Ah, but insane doesn't fit the mo(u)ld.
<c> is pronounced [ts]; <s> is pronounced [tsh]
(origin, Old & Middle French)
finance, finan[ts]e
chance, chan[ts]e
sense, sen[ts] *Old French sens
pension, pen[tsh]ion
tension, ten[tsh]ion
in+sane < Latin in- prefix "not"
in+ception < Latin in- prefix "in, on"
in+stant < Old French in- prefix "in"
So, generally speaking, if "in" is used as prefix in examples such as "insane, inception or instant", it would be an exception to this "rule" i.e. NOT having "t" sound between "n" and "s" sounds.Originally Posted by Casiopea
Interesting thing to know, for sure.
Any idea of other words that are an exceptions to this rule, other than these 3 ???
Well, the difference is position. Below, epenthetic [t] sits at the end of the word; more specifically, it sits in the coda of a syllable. (The symbol # represents a syllable boundary)Originally Posted by j4mes_bond25
tense = te[nts]
sense = se[nts]
chance = cha[nts]
finance = fi#na[nts]
pen#sion = pe[nt]#sion
ten#sion = te[nt]#sion
Adding [t] has to do with the ease of articulation. Articulating [n] then moving to [s], [sh] produces a [t] sound, an epenthetic consonant that shares place of articular with [n].
fi#na[ns] => fi#na[nts]
pen#sion => pe[nt]#sion
As for the exceptions, "insane", "inception", and "instant", [n] and [s] are separated by a syllable boundary, but they are also separated by a morpheme boundary (_). [n] belongs to the coda of the first morpheme, and [s] belongs to the onset of the second morpheme:
Now, I don't know if that's the reason speakers don't appear to insert [t] in that environment, but it stands to reason, especially given that speakers know that in-, alone, is a separate morpheme. That is, sane, ception, and stant don't have to be productive morphemes.
Note, and here's a rather surprising twist. Even though I do not pronounce the words below with epenthetic [t] (I speak a North American dialect of English), I do, in fact, pronounce one of the exceptions, "instant", with [t], in[t]#stant. What irony. The reason ... I can explain later if you'd like. This post is too long already. ;-D
tense = te[ns]
sense = se[ns]
chance = cha[ns]
finance = fi#na[ns]
pen#sion = pe[n]#sion
ten#sion = te[n]#sion
All the best.

I thought such an additional "t" was only a part of British English. But it seems the same goes for North American accent, as well then ???Originally Posted by Casiopea
By the way, does this "t" in between "n" and "s" sound a part of RP accent or is it seen as a part of "posh" English ???
Lastly, speaking of "posh" English, RP and Plummy are seen as "posh" in Britain. What is the equivalent there in North America ??? In the same way, Hugh Grant is associated with "posh" plummy accent. Who would be the equivalent "posh" speaking celeb in North America ???

Nokia is seeing some good initial success from its transition to exclusively supporting Windows Phone for its high-end handsets. Initial sales of the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710, Nokia's first two Windows Phones, are likely hovering around 1.3 million units, according to Bloomberg. This is, of course, unverified data, but for two handsets that only launched in November, that's not bad. Add in the fact that Windows Phone is not a well known or sought-after OS yet and the fact that Nokia only just launched its first device in the US a week or two ago, and the numbers are all the more impressive.
"There weren't a lot of the hero handsets out there — HTC were struggling, RIM didn't have a show-me device, Sony Ericsson and Motorola weren't really stepping into the mix, so there was probably enough space for Nokia to be able to point to fourth- quarter numbers they were happy with," said Lee Simpson, a London-based analyst at Jefferies International.
Lending credence to the 1.3 million sales estimate, WMPowerUser has made a chart showing that in just two months Nokia has risen to commanding a 45 percent market share of all "second generation" Windows Phones, beating out HTC with a 40 percent share and Samsung with a 12 percent share.
This is an odd comparison, as it leaves out any "first generation" Windows Phone devices (phones that came out between Nov. 2010 and Oct. 2011) that may have still been selling. Second generation devices include the Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 710, HTC Radar, HTC Titan, Samsung Focus Flash, Samsung Focus S, and a few models by ZTE, Fujitsu Toshiba, and Acer that haven't made it to the United States yet.
From the looks of it, HTC continues to play a big role in the Windows Phone ecosystem, but Nokia has really begun pushing on Samsung's sales. The world's second largest phone maker dropped from 28 percent to 12 percent in new Windows Phone handset sales (second generation). Samsung's higher-end Focus S doesn't seem to have taken off and the company lacked a high-end device outside of the US. HTC has done well with its Radar, however. The Radar has seen better success than almost any Windows Phone here in the US. The device was the third best selling handset on T-Mobile in both November and December, according to numbers by Canaccord, an analyst and forecasting company (via BGR).
Still, if these percentages are accurate and Nokia's 45 percent market share of newer WP7 devices equates to 4 percent of total Windows Phone sales to date, it's not hard to extrapolate a guess on how many Windows Phones have been sold. If 1.3 million units equals 4 percent of sales, then multiplying it by 25 would get us to 100 percent, or 32.5 million devices sold since Nov. 2010. This number doesn't seem nearly as horrible as Microsoft's diminishing 2-3 percent marketshare would seemingly imply, but three days ago Google announced that there are 250 million Android devices in use. Apple, for its part, sells 20-30 million iPhones every quarter (three months). In fact, on Christmas day alone, Flurry analytics reported that 6.8 Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) devices were activated. It's clear that Microsoft has a lot of catching up to do, even with Nokia by its side.
At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier in January, we got a peak at Nokia's Lumia 900 (our impressions), a 4.3-inch Windows Phone built for the US market. Though it didn't blow us away with a new interface, Nokia seems to be the only major Windows Phone maker that is actively working to create unique Windows Phone experiences, including unique apps like free turn-by-turn navigation and music streaming. The Lumia 900 even has 4G LTE support, something that Windows Phone has needed for several months now. Most of all, Nokia is the only manufacturer that seems willing to spend money to advertise and market its Windows Phone devices. HTC and Samsung have been supporting the platform, but their devices have felt second-rate compared to their efforts on Android.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, has repeatedly stated that Nokia's Lumia devices are the "first real Windows Phones," a jab at HTC and Samsung, who mostly support Android.
"There's a lot hedging going on in the industry, that's for sure. And this is why I say rather boldly these are the first real Windows Phones," said Elop in a recent interview. "Our best innovation, our best industrial design, our best cameras, our best software, whatever it is, is being focused on the Windows Phone platform. Unambiguously. We're not doing a little bit of everything. This is what we're doing."
Elop has been brutally honest about Nokia's near nonexistent presence in the US market and has been extremely bold about reorganizing Nokia around Windows Phone, and phasing out Symbian, the smartphone OS that helped the company become the top phone maker in the world with more than 400 million devices sold per year (Samsung recently surpassed 300 million, becoming the #2 player). As Android and the iPhone took over the market, however, Symbian and other older operating systems like BlackBerry have fallen out of favor with consumers.
Since it's first Windows Phone launches in November, Nokia hasn't wasted any time rebuilding its empire. The Lumia 710 is already available on T-Mobile and the Lumia 900 will launch on AT&T in the next month or two. New handsets are expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress trade show at the end of February.
At CES, Elop compared the fight ahead to trench warfare, colorfully comparing the first Lumia handsets as a "beachhead," or secure initial positions that has been gained and can beused for further advancement, in the war ahead. His enemies: Android and iOS. If Nokia really has sold 1.3 million Windows Phones on its first go round, his metaphor may be apt. If the smartphone market is a warzone, Nokia may actually be moving into a good position. It won't outsell Android anytime soon, but the tide may be turning for the struggling Finnish manufacturer.

Squeezed out of rotation, Happ joins 'pen
MINNEAPOLIS -- J.A. Happ is back with the Blue Jays, but it's safe to say that he's less than enthused about his current role within the organization.
Toronto's left-hander was activated from the 15-day disabled list following Sunday afternoon's game against the Orioles. He's scheduled to pitch out of the bullpen and likely will become a long reliever -- at least for the immediate future.
That's not what Happ was expecting a couple of months ago, and with more 114 career starts under his belt, it's clear that he feels the starting rotation is where he belongs.
"Not great," Happ said when asked how he felt about the role. "It's not necessarily what I prepared to do but if the phone rings and it's me, I'm going to try and get guys out and take it from there. Other than that, I don't have a lot to say about the bullpen role."
Happ remained mostly guarded during his first scrum with reporters since being activated off the DL. He frequently paused and appeared to be searching for the right thing to say, but over the course of several minutes it became rather obvious that Happ is frustrated with his current situation.
The 31-year-old entered Spring Training with what he believed was a guaranteed job in the rotation. He then struggled in a pair of early spring outings and eventually developed a back injury that caused him to miss just over a week of a camp.
Happ did return in plenty of time to get ready for the start of the season, but when his struggles on the mound continued the Blue Jays decided to place him on the DL. Happ eventually made a pair of rehab starts in the Minor Leagues and has now been cleared to return.
The problem is that there is no longer a starting job waiting for him. Right-hander Dustin McGowan was named the No. 5 starter near the end of Spring Training and unless someone struggles -- or gets hurt -- within the next few weeks, Happ will remain relegated to the bullpen.
"I see myself as a starter, I don't think that's any secret," said Happ, who has a 4.25 ERA over the course of 682 2/3 career innings. "I want to be a starter in the Major Leagues. That's that."

This is the last weekend for an exhibit that includes some trippy art like the above "War of the Worlds" painting by José Segrelles, alongside some glorious paintings by Frank Frazetta, H.R. Giger, Boris Vallejo and more. "At the Edge: Art of the Fantastic" is ending on Sunday, at the Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley.
Here's the official description, along with Frazetta's "Eerie #8 (The Brain)" and David Palumbo's great painting "Terrible Weakness:"
"All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination?" —Carl Jung
The Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley is pleased to showcase an exhibition that introduces contemporary fantastic art to the museum setting. At the Edge: Art of the Fantastic is not only the most comprehensive exhibition of fantastic art to date, it is also the first time that this discipline has been presented on such a large scale. The exhibition is organized by guest curators Patrick and Jeannie Wilshire, founders of the Association of Fantastic Art (AFA).
Fantastic art, also known as imaginative realism, distinguishes itself from other art forms by portraying ancient myths and legends, modern day fantasies in the form of divine interventions, the imagination, the dream state, the grotesque, visions, and the "uncanny" as common everyday elements. While the widespread prevalence of imaginative realism is relatively recent in popular culture, this genre is a staple in art history, beginning with the rise of romanticism in the second half of the eighteenth century as artists began to present imaginative imagery for narrative and emotional impact, rather than allegorical or historical meaning. At the Edge is the first exhibition to place this genre in its correct art-historical context as an evolution of the great realist painters of the past.
At the Edge: Art of the Fantasticshowcases includes more than 160 original works of art ranging from 1797 to the present day. Nearly one-quarter of the exhibition predates 1940, with a heavy focus on the golden age of illustration (1880–1930), including such luminaries as N. C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, José Segrelles, J. C. Leyendecker, Alphonse Mucha, and Frank E. Schoonover. Key nineteenth-century schools are represented by works from Gustave Doré, Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale, Gabriel Ferrier, Edmund Blair Leighton, and William Blake.
Contemporary artists featured in the exhibition run the gamut from famed Swiss surrealist and concept designer H. R. Giger to New York Times bestsellers James Gurney and Tony DiTerlizzi. Frank Frazetta, one of the most important twentieth-century figures in the field, is represented by five works. In all, nearly ninety contemporary artists are represented in the exhibition, including Jeffrey Catherine Jones, Donato Giancola, Paul Lehr, John Schoenherr, Frank Kelly Freas, Boris Vallejo, Michael Whelan, Michael Parkes, Daniel Merriam, Brian Froud, John Howe, David Palumbo, and John Jude Palencar.
Thanks for the heads up, Fran!

News anchor denies domestic dispute charges in Darien
CBS Channel 2's Morrison charged with attacking wife
STAMFORD -- A judge issued a protective order Tuesday against a New York television anchorman to stay away from his wife after a weekend incident in which he allegedly choked her and threatened to kill her at their Darien home.
CBS Channel 2 news anchor Rob Morrison appeared in state Superior Court in Stamford, and prior to his arraignment he denied trying to choke his wife, Ashley Morrison, who works as a television journalist for CBS MoneyWatch.
"I did not choke my wife, I've never laid my hands on my wife," Morrison told reporters as he arrived outside the courthouse. "I was just as surprised by that particular charge as probably everyone else."
The order issued by Judge Kenneth Povodator allows the couple to continue to work together, but prohibits Rob Morrison from coming within 100 yards of his wife at any other time.
Povadator also granted Morrison, 44, an hour to gather his belongings from the couple's Hollow Tree Ridge home.
Morrison's attorney, Robert Skovgaard, did not enter a plea on behalf of his client on the charges of second-degree strangulation, second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct. Morrison is scheduled to return to court March 26.
Steven Mandel, the attorney for Ashley Morrison, who did not attend the hearing, agreed to the terms of the protective order granting a workplace exemption for her husband.
"She wants to still be able to work," Mandel said after the hearing.
Darien police were called to the couple's house at approximately 1:30 a.m., Sunday after they received a phone call from Morrison's mother-in-law reporting a domestic altercation occurring at her daughter's residence.
Police said Morrison had become increasingly belligerent toward his wife during the course of the evening, culminating in his choking her with both hands.
Police said officers observed red marks on Ashley Morrison's neck.
According to arresting officer Patrick Clohessy, Morrison "threatened that if he was released from police custody, he would kill his wife," a handwritten note inside his court file said. As a result of his admission to police, Morrison, who has one son, was not released until he posted a $100,000 court appearance bond Sunday morning.
One source, who asked not to be identified, said the Massachusetts native told him Sunday morning that he and his wife got into a fight over pictures the two had up on their Facebook pages. The source said Morrison told him that his wife hit him and he sent a picture of his bleeding face to his in-laws in hopes they would be able to quell their daughter. Ashley Morrison was not arrested or charged in the disturbance.
His mugshot, issued by the Darien Police Department, shows a stream of blood on the bridge of his nose and what looks like a bruise on his lower lip.
After arriving at the courthouse around 11:30 a.m. the news media, including a contingent from WCBS Channel 2, swarmed him in front of the courthouse. He didn't answer questions after giving a brief statement.
Dressed in a blue striped suit, Morrison had a slight tremor in his hands as he took off his belt and emptied his pockets into a yellow tray as he passed through the metal detector at the entrance to the courthouse.
Morrison, his wife and their son moved into their Hollow Tree Ridge Road home in Darien in 2011, according to property records.
Morrison has more than 20 years of experience in broadcast news, starting his career as a combat correspondent while he served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
For almost 10 of those years, he was an anchor and reporter at WNBC-TV. Morrison has anchored the Emmy Award-winning morning show "Today" in New York and has appeared regularly on NBC's "Weekend Today" and MSNBC.
He currently works for WCBS Channel 2 and anchors "CBS 2 News This Morning" and "At Noon."
His wife, Ashley Morrison, served as an anchor/reporter with Bloomberg television from 2007 to 2009 before joining CBS.

Now that people like Shia LaBeouf are headlining action movies, Sylvester Stallone feels nostalgic for the old days. He blames the death of the old-school action movie on Batman. Specifically, the Tim Burton version:
It was that first Batman movie. The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.... I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself. I didn't have to go to the gym for all those years, all the hours wedded to the iron game, as we call it.
Stallone, obviously, is hoping to bring back the old-school action movie, where real muscles are bigger than any special effect, with The Expendables. [Los Angeles Times]

The pregame word of the day was tempo as the #3 University of Louisville Cardinals (15-1, 3-0) welcomed the University of South Florida Bulls (9-6, 0-3) into the KFC Yum! Center Saturday afternoon for a Big East Conference match up. The Cards weren't exactly gracious hosts as they destroyed an overmatched USF 64-38.
South Florida's Stan Heath talked about how the Cards try to speed things up and goad their opponents into quick shots and mental mistakes. He also thought Louisville would be an angry team because these Bulls ended UofL's regular season with a Cardinal loss on Senior Day last year. On the other hand, coach Rick Pitino reminded his team that USF plays a very ball control style of offense.
The game ended up being a nightmare for South Florida as the Cardinals beat them down hard and fast from the opening tip and didn't trail the entire game. The Louisville defense smothered the Bulls to the point where USF was in danger of not even reaching double digits on the scoreboard before halftime. Coach Pitino noticed and after the game said, "We're getting a lot better at the defensive end and that pleases me."
The Cards held South Florida to 22.7% shooting in the first half. And the defense bothered them so much that the Bulls only shot 33.3% from the free throw line. That's intimidation. Things only got marginally better in the second half as USF increased their field goal percentage to 26.7%.
And on a day when senior point guard Peyton Siva became the 64th Cardinal in history to score his 1,000th career point, he kept adding to that total by finishing the day with 17 points. The Louisville field goal percentage was abysmal, but coach Pitino said he wasn't worried because that's what happens when you play with such a large lead and then just start chucking up shots to have some fun.
Chane Behanan, originally thought to miss 4 games with a high ankle sprain, came back for this one and pulled down 12 rebounds, all in the first half. Center Gorgui Dieng's double-double impressed as well. The center from Senegal scored 12 points and cleared the boards to the tune of 16 rebounds.
Combine the Louisville blow out and the Duke loss and look for the 3rd ranked Cards to move up in the college basketball polls when they're released.
The Cardinals go into action next on Monday against at Connecticut. They return home on Saturday for a huge matchup against #7 Syracuse.

Berkeley perks up for Coffee and Tea Festival
Posted by TheShot on 07 Aug 2011 | Tagged as: Add Milk, Café Society, Local Brew
Next month Berkeley hosts its first ever coffee and tea festival, and the SF Chronicle used the opportunity to mention Berkeley's coffee and espresso roots: Berkeley perks up for Coffee and Tea Festival. The piece adds a bit of worthy Berkeley coffee history, even if it's a slight retread of a 2009 piece in The Daily Californian. Both articles discussed Caffe Mediterraneum's merits as the birthplace of the caffè latte. And, hey, Berkeley is where I had my first real cappuccino way back in those ancient 1980s.

So, when are you actually coming over here to review Local 123, both branches of Remedy, Bica, Modern, Cafe Gabriela, etc. ? 🙂
Thanks for your posts. I recently went to Vancouver and enjoyed a number of cups (brewed and espresso) at 49th Parallel. Artigiano was good but not at that level. To over-generalize, Vancouver seems to prefer light, rich and smooth over the darker and more acid that seems to have become more popular around here (epitomized to me by Sightglass).
My reactions to 49th Parallel and Sightglass coffees are the same as yours, and I have tried their espresso on-site. The 49th Parallel espresso was at least very nicely complex, whereas I felt like the Sightglass was a bit one-note-y (with searing acid).

hochschulSTART Allocation Process
Nationwide Selection Process via Hochschulstart
The study placements in the medicine and dentistry courses of study ending with a Staatsexamen degree are allocated by Hochschulstart in a nationwide selection process. Please submit your application to Hochschulstart before the deadline.
First, some placements are made in the advance quota process for special applicant groups. Then the main placement process takes place. 20 percent of the available placements are allocated to applicants with the best Abitur grades/GPAs, further 20 percent are allocated to candidates with the longest waiting times.
RWTH Aachen can allocate the remaining 60 percent of study placements using its own criteria in an independent selection process. The only applicants who participate in the selection process at RWTH Aachen are those individuals who listed RWTH Aachen as one of their top three choices on their application. These 60 percent of study placements are administered by the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung as well.
For university placements in medicine, applicants are ranked according to average grade. Taking the Test für Medzinische Studiengänge (TMS) can improve your grade, provided the resulting equivalent grade of the test is higher than the average Abitur grade. The improved average grade – a change for the worse is ruled out – is calculated by using a weighted percentage – 51 percent of the average Abitur grade and 49 percent of the test grade.
For study placements in dentistry, the same weighted percentage applies: The average Abitur grade counting 51 percent and the TMS test result counting 49 percent. A change for the worse is not possible. Please refer to the selection regulations for details on the university-specific selection procedures at RWTH Aachen. For further information about the test for medical studies please visit the TMS website.
In addition, proof of completed vocational training for selected professions can be used to improve your average grade for application to dental study placement by an additional factor of 0,3. Recognized professions are:
- Stomatologic Nurse
- Dental Assistant
- Dental Auxiliary
- Qualified Dental Assistant
- Dental Technician

A University of Montreal study following 17 Zen meditators and 18 non-meditators found that Zen meditation increases the thickness of grey matter and therefore reduces the sensitivity to pain. This conclusion was based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to map the structure of the brain, and the first hand experience of the meditators who were given thermal pain in the form of a heated plate to the calf of the leg.
The researchers are contributing to the decreased pain sensitivity to the "extreme" position in which one holds themselves during a Zen meditation practice as well as the ability to reduce the rate of the breath. The average breath rate of a Zen meditator was 12 breaths per minute compared to the an average 15 breaths a minute for non-meditatiors. The results concluded that Zen meditators have an 18% reduction in pain sensitivity overall.

This study provides specific proof that Zen meditation plays a significant role in the structure and ability of our physical body, an aspect of many styles of meditation and hatha yoga that modern science is continuing to validate. This study is yet another example of how the western psychological and medical fields are increasingly developing a body of research that prove the positive effects of what were once considered etheric practices.
Because so many practitioners are initially drawn to these practices to deal with physical and mental ailments, this compendium of research is allowing the reach of these highly beneficial practices to stretch beyond the stereotypical practitioner. It does place a greater responsibility on the teachers of these practices, though, to be aware and knowledgeable about the physical aspects of the practices in addition to what would be considered more etheric by many. For every study that further proves the positive effects of these practices, the bar is raised on its teachers and students.
This, in my opinion, is not a negative thing. In Sanskrit, the term, which refers to elevating our level of knowledge and responsibility is Adhikara. Some traditions and styles refer to it as studentship, while others define it as qualification. As the positive benefits of meditation and yoga become more and more scientifically proven, those who choose to share it become more and more responsible for elevating their level of understanding. Our knowledge of the physical body and the effects of practice are put to the test every time we have a new student with an ailment or injury step into our class, but as teachers and dedicated practitioners, we are also called to advance our level of subtle understanding of the power and potential results of the practices which we teach.
I would offer that in addition to gross physiological reactions of the body in response to practices like Zen meditation and many others like it, that these experiences also affect subtle aspects of our experience, which make us less likely to focus (or feel) the negative. Committed practices put us more in touch with the positive aspects of the human experience, and teach us to concentrate less on the negative. So the tendency to feel pain, on any level, is lessened because our overall balance is heightened. When we take the time to tap deeply into ourselves, we are less influenced by superficial difficulties and distractions. So as we increase our own level of Adhikara, we not only become more aware of the ways in which we can help others through our chosen practices, but we also model the behavior of a committed practitioner and in that way support all of the beneficial aspects of practice.

This field is mandatory!
As part of its new commitments, Mattel is instructing its suppliers to avoid wood fiber from companies "that are known to be involved in deforestation." One such company is the notorious Asia Pulp and Paper group (APP), which Greenpeace investigators have shown to be involved in widespread rainforest clearance in Indonesia. Responding to the news, Bustar Maitar, head of Greenpeace's campaign to save the forests in Indonesia, said: "The rainforests of Indonesia should be for species like the Sumatran tiger, not for throw-away toy packaging. That's why it is such good news that Mattel has developed a new paper buying policy. "This is more evidence for Asia Pulp and Paper that rainforest destruction is bad for business. Golden Agri-Resources, a sister company to APP, has already committed to clean up its act and has won back lucrative contracts. Now APP must do the same. In the last two weeks the Greenpeace "tiger eye tour" has been documenting continued forest destruction by APP. "While Greenpeace will watch Mattel closely to ensure it implements its commitments, we will encourage other companies, including Disney and Hasbro, to take similar action to protect rainforests." Using a combination of research and forensic testing, Greenpeace investigators showed that packaging for the Mattel toys was being produced using timber from the rainforests of Indonesia, home to endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger. Greenpeace activists dressed as "Ken" dolls abseiled down Mattel's headquarters in Los Angeles in June, hanging a giant banner which read "Barbie: It's Over. I don't date girls that are into deforestation". Mattel's new policy also includes safeguards against buying wood fiber from tree plantations established in areas where natural forests once stood. The conversion of rainforests to pulp tree plantations is a leading driver of deforestation in Indonesia. Their policy also aims to increase the amount of recycled paper used in their business, as well as to boost the use of wood products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Indonesia has one of the fastest rates of forest destruction in the world. The Indonesian government estimates that more than one million hectares of rainforests are being lost every year.

Sunoco Settles Hazardous Waste Violations
at its Former Philadelphia Facility
PHILADELPHIA (Oct. 25, 2012) -- Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) has agreed to pay a $117,000 penalty to settle alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations at its former facility located at 4701 Margaret St., Philadelphia, Pa., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
EPA cited Sunoco for violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the federal law governing the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA is designed to protect public health and the environment, and avoid costly cleanups, by requiring the safe, environmentally sound storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
According to EPA, Sunoco violated RCRA requirements involving hazardous waste storage. The alleged violations related to storage of a hazardous waste (phenol sludge) without a RCRA hazardous waste permit; storage of a leaking spent lead-acid battery; and failure to keep universal waste lamps in a closed container.
The violations were discovered in an EPA inspection in September 2010. Sunoco subsequently sold this facility in July 2011. The settlement penalty reflects the company's compliance efforts, and its cooperation with EPA in the resolution of this matter. As part of the settlement, Sunoco has neither admitted nor denied liability for the alleged violations, but has certified its compliance with applicable RCRA requirements.

I would like a new logo design that fits around the image that I am aiming for - a brand with a more "boutique" feel for my portrait photography business. It should be stylish and visually interesting, fresh and memorable. My style of photography is natural light and on-location. I focus on "real moments" and lifestyle images.
Imagine Photography
I am looking for something up-market,fresh, clean and modern. I do not want anything that feels really fussy (I'mnot into flowers or frills - unless they are simply portrayed and elegant). I am aiming for the higher end of the familyportrait market so a logo that has evokes a boutique/exclusive feel – while atthe same time is not too serious – having portraits taken should be fun!
The logo needs to be versatileenough to appeal to families who are willing to pay for high quality portraitsbut also suitable for use with the wedding side of the business - which isgrowing.
I will require a logo that willalso work well as a watermark on images on the website.
My website can be seen here http://www.imaginephotography.com.au this is being redesigned though so do not use this as a style guide. Thewebsite redesign will potentially use elements of the new logo.

DOVER — Does the U.S. Department of Justice have ulterior motives for allowing New Hampshire to be released from a portion of the Voting Rights Act?
That's the theory being advanced by some conservative groups, including The Center for Individual Rights (CIR).
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., CIR is questioning the motives behind a decision by Attorney General Eric Holder to release New Hampshire from Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
A key piece of civil rights legislation, the Voting Rights Act of 1964 guarantees that voters aren't disenfranchised on account of race or color.
It also contains several special provisions that impose stringent federal oversight in certain areas of the country, known as "covered jurisdictions."
Ten New Hampshire towns, including Newington, have long been covered by Section 5. In these communities, no voting changes are legally enforceable until approved either by federal judges or the U.S. Attorney General.
That means changes to election laws that affect any of these 10 towns — ranging from a change in polling hours to a new statewide voting law — must be reviewed by federal officials.
New Hampshire filed a lawsuit in November asking the U.S. Department of Justice to grant the state a so-called "bailout" from the provisions of Section 5.
USDOJ agreed in December, but the deal must still be approved by federal judges.
Last month, The Center for Individual Rights filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit, hoping to block New Hampshire's bailout request.
For CIR, it's a piece of legal jujitsu that seems contradictory: The group ultimately wants Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to be abolished.
But CIR is taking the opposite position with regard to New Hampshire.
Representing a New Hampshire man named Peter Heilemann, the group argues that allowing New Hampshire to be released from Section 5 will deprive Heilemann of its voting protections.
The group is building its case around the argument that New Hampshire failed for decades to comply with a requirement to seek preclearance for new voting laws.
The state began catching up on a backlog of preclearance applications about 10 years ago, in preparation for this year's bailout request.
The state has submitted 233 preclearance submissions to the Department of Justice since December 2002, and all have been accepted,
However, according to court documents, the final preclearance submissions were made only recently, after the U.S. Attorney General reviewed New Hampshire's bailout request. The review turned up several voting law changes in New Hampshire that still required federal approval.
The Department of Justice allowed New Hampshire to submit all outstanding preclearance requests before making a decision on the bailout request, according to court documents.
CIR accuses the attorney general of permitting the state to file "obviously belated requests" for preclearance after finding deficiencies with the bailout application.
CIR argues the attorney general is interpreting the bailout requirements under the Voting Rights Act liberally in order to strengthen the government's defense in an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case.
An Alabama county is seeking to challenge Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in a case being heard later this year.
CIR argues the U.S. attorney general's involvement in the pending Supreme Court case "seems likely to influence" his decision regarding whether to grant New Hampshire a bailout.
If New Hampshire is released, the group argues, Holder will point to New Hampshire as further evidence that the law is effective, since it contains an appropriate mechanism for relief.
The question of whether CIR is allowed to intervene in New Hampshire's bailout request could ultimately be determined by whether or not Heilemann fits the definition of an "aggrieved" person under the Voting Rights Act.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office is asking federal judges to exclude Heilemann and CIR from the bailout proceedings. They point out that Heilemann does not appear to be a member of a race or language minority, and does not live in one of the 10 communities. He also does not appear to be have had his voting rights infringed, they argue.
"The cold fact is that [Heilemann] and the organization representing him desire to destroy Section 5, not to seek its protection ..." reads a response on behalf of the New Hampshire Attorney General's office.
CIR's intervention is "an effort to obstruct and delay New Hampshire's bailout action to bolster claims before the Supreme Court," according to the attorney general's office.
A call to the Center for Individual Rights was not returned Thursday.

I mean, it's a recap, of course it's going to contain spoilers. Right? Right. But this post is a little different, in that I'm about to share a MAJOR CHARACTER SPOILER about season 3 of Downton Abbey. Which, as you probably know, has been airing in the U.K. but doesn't premiere in the U.S. until January 6.
If you're hoping to watch season 3 spoiler-free, READ NO FURTHER. I'm not kidding. This is your chance to click away. DO IT! Unless you want to know. Which I thought I did, at least until I actually saw the spoiler and then I thought, dammit, I wish I hadn't read that. SERIOUSLY I AM GIVING YOU EVERY WARNING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO AVOID THIS ONE.
Still here? Okay, here's what happens on the season 3 Downton Abbey Christmas special ...
So, remember this moment from the season 2 Christmas special (which I covered on my own blog because I am a dork):
Well, who knows how many happy moments we get to enjoy between Matthew and Mary in season 3, but their love was not meant to last. A spokesperson for the show confirms that Dan Stevens, the actor who plays Matthew Crawley, will not be back for season 4 ... and the season 3 Christmas special explains why.
Ready for this? Okay, deep breath: on the season 3 Christmas special, Matthew -- who is newly married, OMG DOWNTON ABBEY WEDDING -- gets killed in a car accident.
I know. I know. The worst. Just ... let's just try and take solace in the fact that it was Matthew and not the dog. (DO NOT PUT ISIS IN JEOPARDY AGAIN, ABBEY CREATORS.)
I spoiled myself further by seeing a screen shot of the accident (gah) and learning what Matthew had been doing right before he got in the car, but I'll spare you. You can google for that if you want, but I recommend against it.
As for Stevens, he sounds a little bittersweet about his character's death, calling it both "odd" and "liberating":
We were always optioned for three years. And when that came up it was a very difficult decision. But it felt like a good time to take stock, to take a moment. From a personal point of view, I wanted a chance to do other things.
I guess he'll have time to do so now, but ... damn you, Downton Abbey. Damn you to hell. *sobs brokenly into a delicate lace-trimmed handkerchief, rings bell for emotionally-stabilizing cup of tea*
Did you just spoiler yourself by reading this, or did you already know about Matthew? Will you miss him on the show?

Baseball wants to get a referendum on an Athletics' San Jose stadium off of the November ballot, because it might not pass. To do so, they're willing to pay the city to hold a special election in the spring. Shady business, Bud.
San Jose wants the A's. But first, they need a stadium, and to get a stadium, they need $461 million, and to get $461 million for a stadium, residents need to vote. So San Jose mayor Chuck Reed announced last week that the measure will appear on November's ballot, a surprise to just about everyone.
MLB President Bob DuPuy spoke to Reed, urging him to take it off the ballot. Why? Well, the money quote: "some observers have predicted that a stadium measure would fare better in the spring, when there won't be a raft of other ballot measures competing for attention."
To sweeten the deal, MLB will help pay for the up to $1 million cost of holding a special election for the ballpark measure.
We shouldn't be surprised. MLB is doing everything it can within the law (debatable) to make sure the Rangers get sold to their handpicked ownership group. Still, just more evidence of the lengths to which Selig and Co. will go to get their way.

Lewis & Clark names new athletic director
March 25, 2014
Shana Levine, currently associate athletic director at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, has been named director of physical education and athletics at Lewis & Clark.
"Shana Levine is a fantastic choice to lead our athletic department and move our programs ahead," said Dean of Students Anna Gonzalez, who oversees athletics as part of the Division of Student Life. "Shana has a great understanding and appreciation of the Division III philosophy, and of what it means to be a true student-athlete and excel in the classroom and cocurricular areas as well as on the fields and courts."
Levine is a Washington and Lee graduate and holds a JD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. She currently oversees athletics facilities, recreation, and compliance at Washington and Lee, where she has been associate director since 2008. Also an assistant professor, she teaches in the women's and gender studies program.
She will begin her tenure at Lewis & Clark by July 1.
"I am honored by the opportunity to serve as the next director of physical education and athletics at Lewis & Clark," Levine said. "I want to thank President Glassner, Board Chair Mark Dorman, Dean Anna Gonzalez, and the members of the search committee for their confidence in me to lead the department."
"Lewis & Clark is an institution that is firmly rooted in its academic mission and the Division III philosophy. I look forward to working with the entire Lewis & Clark community to advance the athletics program to the next level while remaining true to that mission."
Before joining the athletic department at Washington and Lee, Levine worked for the NCAA as associate director of membership services (2006-2008) and assistant director of student-athlete reinstatement (2005-2006).
At Lewis & Clark, Levine will lead an intercollegiate athletics program that includes ten women's and nine men's teams, as well as the department's wide-ranging physical education courses.
Levine's appointment concludes a national search aided by Alden & Associates. The search committee was co-chaired by Robert Kugler, Paul S. Wright Professor of Christian Studies and director of Strategic Initiatives, and David Ellis, vice president, secretary, and general counsel. Staffing the search was retired volleyball coach Lori Jepsen.
Other members of the committee were: Tricia Brand, associate dean of student engagement; Anne Bentley, associate professor of chemistry; Adam Buchwald, associate vice president and chief technology officer; Keith Dede, associate professor of Chinese; Matt DeRosa, CAS student; Patrick Dreves, head men's and women's tennis coach; Juli Fulks, head women's basketball coach; and Dell Smith, retired registrar and professor.
Gonzalez thanked Mark Pietrok for his invaluable work leading the department while he served as interim athletic director this past year. Pietrok will return to his role as senior associate athletic director when Levine starts her new position.

3 Therefore, holy brothers,1 you who share in ra heavenly calling, consider Jesus, sthe apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, tjust as Moses also was faithful in all God's2 house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but uthe builder of all things is God.) 5 vNow Moses was faithful in all God's house was a servant, xto testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as ya son. And zwe are his house, if indeed we ahold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.3
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
b"Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for cforty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, 'They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.'
11 dAs I swore in my wrath,
'They shall not enter my rest.' "
12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from ethe living God. 13 But fexhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by gthe deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, hif indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,
b"Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
16 For iwho were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not jall those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, kwhose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that lthey would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that mthey were unable to enter because of unbelief.

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 8, 2015) - Housing starts in Quebec were trending at 35,936 units in November, compared to 36,484 units in October, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)1 of housing starts.
"In November, we observed a slower pace of apartment starts in Quebec," said Kevin Hughes, CMHC Regional Economist for Quebec.
CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets, which can be quite variable from one month to the next.
The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 28,456 units in November, down from 31,043 in October.
Preliminary housing starts data is also available in English and French at the following link:
Preliminary Housing Starts Tables.
As Canada's authority on housing, CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.
Follow CMHC on Twitter @CMHC_ca
[1] All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)-that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace were maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels.

Australia's Ricky Ponting bats against South Africa on the third day of the second Test at the Adelaide Oval.Ricky Ponting has announced his retirement from Test cricket.
Ponting said the Perth Test will be the final of his career.
"This Test match will be my last," Ponting told a press conference on Thursday.
The 37-year-old has been under immense pressure to keep his place in the Australian side with a poor start to the summer against the Proteas in which he's made only 20 runs in three innings.
''Over the last couple of weeks my level of performance hasn't been good enough,'' he said.
''My passion and love for the game hasn't changed.
"At the end of the day (the decision) was based on my results.
''In this series so far they have not been up to the level required of batsmen and players in the Australian team.
''I'm glad I have got the opportunity to finish on my terms.''
Ponting said he would in no way be distracted for the series-deciding Test against South Africa where the world No.1 ranking is up for grabs.
''I want this win more than any other game I have played in.''
Ponting will equal Steve Waugh's mark of 168 Test matches in this match, the most in the history of Australian cricket.
The entire Australian squad turned up for the press conference on Thursday in Perth where Ponting made his announcement.
Australian skipper Michael Clarke broke down as he addressed Ponting's retirement.''I didn't have a feeling it was coming,'' Clarke said.
''Ricky spoke to me after the Adelaide Test match . . . he'd made his decision over the last little while, the last few days. The boys are obviously hurting at the moment. He's been an amazing player for a long time.''
Turning 38 next month, Ponting is the highest Australian run-scorer of all time and has been described as the greatest Australian batsman outside Sir Donald Bradman.
The Tasmanian has 13,336 Test runs to his name, only Indian Sachin Tendulkar has scored more in the history of cricket.
Ponting bought what now appears to be an extra year to his career last summer with a stellar series against India in which he scored two centuries on the way to a series tally of 544 runs at a princely average of 108.
His century at the SCG ended a run of 33 innings, spanning two years, without a ton.
Ponting, however, was unable to carry that hot form to the Caribbean where dogged by bad luck and freak dismissals he made just one half-century from six innings, averaging a modest 24.33.
A strong start to the summer in the Shield for Tasmania left him with high hopes he could return to his best against the world No.1 South Africans but pressure on his position in the side grew after scores of zero, four and 16 in the first two Tests.
Ponting, who led Australia to three Ashes defeats, had been hoping to continue his career to next year's twin series against England.Australia's failure to regain the urn two years ago was his final series as Test captain.

I have model which runs 2 processes that create rasters and a third process that (attempts to) add the two of them using Map Algebra. The expression is very simple, just
"%Raster_A%" + "%Raster_B%".
This third process aborts with
ERROR 000539: Error running expression: rcexec() <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: ERROR 010167: Could not open workspace .
The help file for Error 000539 : Error message from Python does not appear relevant, this isn't a problem with python syntax or type use. There is no help page for #010167, but the "not open workspace" is self explanatory.
I haven't found any info on
rcexec() but name and context suggest it's a method for shelling out to an external python process and getting something back. It's reasonable to assume the external process doesn't know it's being executed from a model and that the workspace lock it's encountering is from the parent, and that this is okay. Or, maybe rcexec is not encountering a lock and what's really having trouble with is finding the workspace. I have no way of knowing (I don't think).
The model has an Output Workspace input parameter, which the two antecedent processes use just fine. I tried connecting the Output Workspace input parameter to the map algebra expression as Enviroment > Workspace > Current Workspace to no effect.
Any ideas how to track the source of this error down and fix it?
update: Aha! The environment is not clean. I edited the model and deleted the Current and Scratch workspace settings, and they reverted to the default
C:\Users\matt\ArcGIS\default.gdb. At that point the error changed from can't open to invalid workspace:
ERROR 000539: Error running expression: rcexec() <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>:
ERROR 000875: Output raster: T:\env298.gdb\A_plus_B's workspace is an invalid output workspace.
The curious thing is that the workspace specified in the error was the model's workspace at one time. So
rcexec() is not respecting the value set in the model's environment properties, nor the process's workspace environment property.
Now I just need to figure out how to really reset the environment to defaults.
