Should we feel gratitude for our life? To whom?
Gratitude is important feeling in interpersonal relationships. Gratitude encourages giving and giving encourages more gratitude, etc. On the other side, lack of gratitude comes with a sense of "entitlement" - they mutually create each other as well. Lack of gratitude discourages giving and creates a sense that the world "owes us" a living. "We are programmed to receive." Gratitude, in my opinion, offers an exit from that proverbial Hotel California and "programs us to give".
How about our life and other things shown in this video? Religious people usually thank God for these things. The camera shows a standing round of applause at the end of the video. I very much doubt that most people attending TED talks are religious, so the video must have stirred some emotion in believers and non-believers alike.
Do non-believers feel gratitude for these things? If yes, to whom?

Nov 26 2012: To yourself Arkady and/or anyone we choose to share gratitude with. Gratitude is a feeling....a state of being. It is in us...part of us....we choose to feel it...or not.
I do not know who you refer to when you say "non-believers". Most people believe in something, and whether or not it is the same thing that others believe in, does not matter. So, who are you labeling "non-believers"? And why do you need to do that?
Nov 26 2012: Coleen, I agree with your point that everyone believes in something. I appreciate you looking deep into my motives. This is very insightful. As "non-believers", I refer to people who do not believe in a creator and, therefore, would have no-one to thank for the beauty of nature.
I guess, my whole point is to show that whether or not we believe in God, we share similar emotions about the world around us. These emotions are often quite irrational. I'm just trying to see how people reconcile the irrational emotions with the "rational" worldview claimed by many.
There are some good questions that came up along the way:
- What is this emotion that we feel as we perceive the beauty of nature - is it gratitude or "amazement" and "appreciation"?
- Are "gratitude" and "appreciation" different feelings?
- Does "gratitude" need to be directed at someone?
- How is gratitude related to feeling inferior?
- Is feeling inferior same as humility?
- Are there any social and psychological benefits to feelings of gratitude and humility?
I am not trying to prove anything or make any religious points. The goal of this question is to understand myself better, to understand others better, and, perhaps, help others to understand themselves better as well.
Nov 26 2012: Arkady,
Your question, for this discussion is..."Should we feel gratitude for our life? To whom?"
When you try to seperate "believers" in a creator, from "non-believers", you are reinforcing a divide....a seperation. Gratitude has NOTHING to do with whether or not one believes in a creator!
Gratitude is a feeling....a state of "being", so we can be grateful in ourselves, or we can share gratitude with whomever we choose...it may be another person, a creator, the forest creatures, etc. etc. Being a believer or non-believer in a creator does NOT in any way impact gratitude...other than who or what one chooses to be grateful to....could be ourselves:>)
Nov 27 2012: Yuri, thanks! One surprising conclusion that I make from responses is that gratitude does not have to be directed at someone. It can be abstract. We can spontaneously feel it when we experience something good. It seems irrational. Which leads to the second conclusion - rationalizing our emotions often does not make sense. If we try, we may end up with explanations more irrational than the feeling. Isn't it amazing? We feel first and use reason to explain our experiences later (if we can), not the other way around.
Nov 27 2012: Nice conclusion Arkady:>)
You say..."We can spontaneously feel it (gratitude) when we experience something good".
I suggest that we can experience it no matter if we label the experience "good", or "bad". When we live life with gratitude, an experience is simply an experience....neither good or bad...we have no need to label and rationalize:>)
For example, we might say that having cancer and a near fatal head injury was a "bad" experience? Well, I had them both at the same time, and I cannot say they were "bad", because I learned so much with the experience. I learned more about my own strength and courage, the love of people around me, and the importance of love and acceptance was reinforced. I learned some things that I could not have learned in any other way, so I am grateful for the experiences.
To me, this is all very reasonable, rational, logical, natural and it makes sense. Perhaps you are trying to rationalize something with the logical mind (what you have been taught as a human?), when it needs the participation of the instinct/intuition to make sense?
I realize that you are an engineer, and one of your areas of expertise is data analysis. I suggest that when you are insightfully and eagerly exploring any feelings, you might want to let go of your engineer logic a little bit:>) I hang around with retired engineers, and I'd like to share something that one of them, who is very insightful and aware, always says when faced with a challenge...
"It's not a problem...it's a feature"
Nov 27 2012: Coleen,
Re: "I suggest that we can experience it no matter if we label the experience "good", or "bad". "
This is a great addition to what I said. I noticed, life becomes much easier and enjoyable when we stop labeling people, events, and circumstances as "good" and "bad" and speculate on what they "should be" or "might have been if...".
It's exactly my engineering job that gets me into this philosophical mood. I'm testing quality and reliability of electrical circuits. When a reliability test fails it means, in fact, that the test was successful, because the whole purpose of the test was to make the device fail. It exposes the hidden defects and gives an opportunity to improve the design. When your job is to find defects in everything, it's very easy to get a negative world view. I caught myself judging others for not doing their job properly, promising unrealistic deadlines, failure to plan, etc. It's depressing. I thought to myself, "let me try the 'do not judge'" commandment. I started to adopt a softer and more forgiving attitude to others and found my own life at work much more tolerable and enjoyable.
However, I don't like the saying "it's not a defect, it's a feature". It's usually used as a way to cover-up engineering blunders and present them as if the product was "designed" this way. It sounds like a distortion of truth to me.
Nov 28 2012: I very much agree Arkady...life becomes much easier and more enjoyable when we stop labeling people, events, and circumstances as "good" and "bad" and stop speculating on what they "should be" or "might have been if....
I was addressing your previous comment, in which you stated..."We can spontaneously feel it when we experience something good."
I also agree that having a "softer" attitude toward others is beneficial. To have something for others, it is also beneficial to have it for ourselves.
The way you have misquoted the quote I offered, seems to change the meaning for me, so it does not feel like it projects the idea I was trying to project. "It's not a problem...it's a feature" , as my engineer friend lovingly says it, and explains his use of the phrase, means that what he is exploring, may need to be looked at from different perspectives, and the situation (problem or feature, as we choose to see it) offers the opportunity to look differently at the challenge. He has explained that sometimes the thought process he learned as an engineer, needs to change a little bit to see the "feature" in the challenge.
If your "engineering job" supports your "philosophical mood", and the exploration of emotions/feelings, then carry on my friend:>)

Special Issue: Cancer Research Training
Intramural Training at NCI: A Wealth of Opportunities
People from all over the world and at various stages of their academic careers—high-school students through senior-level scientists—come to NCI to take advantage of a wealth of training opportunities. The knowledge and skills they acquire prepare them to undertake new challenges at NCI and beyond.
On-campus (intramural) research training at NCI is offered through the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP), as well as specific programs administered by the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).
The directors of these programs meet regularly through the Center for Cancer Training, which administers the CPFP and all extramural training through its Cancer Training Branch, so they can coordinate efforts and maintain the quality of the experience for those who come to NCI. A shared goal is to ensure each trainee is progressing scientifically. The directors also work to provide fellows with the tools necessary to identify and meet their long-term career goals.
"The training programs at NCI and NIH have really blossomed in recent years," said Dr. Jackie Lavigne, who has been involved with these training programs and currently directs DCEG's Office of Education. She notes that for many trainees, coming to NCI is the best way to learn about the full breadth of research opportunities.
Together, the programs span the cancer biomedical research spectrum, from population-based studies to investigational therapeutics. The largest program is run by CCR, which offers fellowships for training in the basic and translational sciences, as well as in the clinic. About a thousand fellows are enrolled in the program. For clinical fellows, CCR offers a place to visit patients and conduct lab work all under the same roof. "It is rare that a researcher gets to do both clinical and basic research on essentially the same research problem. That is what CCR is set up for," said former CCR Clinical Fellow Dr. Sunil Sudarshan, a urologist and now assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
Another former fellow, Dr. Patrick Johnston, said that CCR provides an "environment where one can be mentored and further develop one's medical, scientific, and analytical skills to make fundamental discoveries that ultimately will benefit patients around the globe." Dr. Johnston is now a professor in the Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology and dean of the School of Medicine and Dentistry at the Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
To focus specifically on the challenges of cancer prevention, NCI established the CPFP. CPFP offers postdoctoral fellowship opportunities for individuals from diverse disciplines, including behavioral, laboratory, and clinical sciences, epidemiology, ethics, and public health. The program enrolls approximately 10 fellows per year for a 4-year fellowship.
Population-based studies, findings from which inform basic, clinical, and prevention research, are supported through DCEG. Each year, the DCEG Fellowship Program provides a scientific home to about 90 pre- and postdoctoral trainees and another 30 in the summer. Working with DCEG scientists, fellows design, carry out, analyze, and publish research studies on the causes of cancer and related conditions in human populations, as well as explore new approaches to cancer prevention.
Both the DCEG Fellowship Program and the CPFP attract people at different stages of their careers. Dr. William Anderson, for example, practiced medical oncology in rural Louisiana for almost 20 years before pursuing a second career in population-based prevention research. "As a medical oncologist, I saw a lot of cancers recur after standard systemic treatments and began to think that prevention would be a better cure," said Dr. Anderson.
After studying epidemiology and biostatistics at Tulane University, he came to NCI and studied breast cancer as a Cancer Prevention Fellow. After the fellowship, Dr. Anderson stayed on and became a tenure-track investigator in DCEG. Much of his current work uses mathematical modeling of cancer risk and disparities, in the hopes of generating hypotheses for causes of cancer that can be further tested by laboratory and clinical researchers.
The relationship between the CPFP and DCEG fellowship programs remains close, and many prevention science trainees straddle both divisions during their fellowships. They include Dr. Laura Beane Freeman, who came to NCI as a Cancer Prevention Fellow, then worked as a DCEG research fellow before recently accepting a tenure-track position in DCEG.
"I came to NCI for the concentration of resources and expertise, and the chance to work with world-class experts in the field," she said. "What we do in epidemiology is collaborative research; it's very important to have access to people who are the world's experts."
This sentiment is seconded by Dr. Nilanjan Chatterjee, who arrived at NCI as a trainee 10 years ago after earning a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Washington, Seattle. Today, he is chief of DCEG's Biostatistics Branch.
"What really excited me about DCEG was the number of studies and the number of experienced scientists who were already here. A lot was going on and I wanted to be a part of it," said Dr. Chatterjee.
"A lot of trainees I meet are excited about the opportunities in DCEG and want to stay on after completing their training," said Dr. Lavigne. "That speaks well of what we try to provide for them, and also speaks to the rewarding career opportunities, both scientifically and administratively, at NCI."

Health care is becoming a very expensive commodity, rapidly priced above what most of us can afford.
The problem is that since we're human, we do need periodic maintenance and repair. Insurance companies are posting record profits, while charging patients more dollars for less coverage and reimbursing providers at progressively lower rates to maximize their profits.
Unfortunately, the insurance industry has placed so many restrictions on most physicians' ability to provide the care that patients deserve. Many doctors find themselves unable to continue in good conscience to participate in the insurer's ploy.
Other physicians have simply "opted out" of not only the managed care plans but even Medicare. From the physician's perspective, Medicare rates are well below what they should be. We've seen progressive cuts in reimbursement for most of the past decade.
Counter this with the fact that attorneys and other professionals have seen a net increase in their wages of about 20 percent while physicians have lost about 12 percent in their income during this period.
At the same time, we've had to contend with the rising prices that affect all of us, but also with an incredible rise in the premiums for malpractice insurance.
Medicine used to be considered a "sure thing" to have a guaranteed good income for life. The downside, that it required many expensive years of education and long hours of work once the education was completed, as well as maintenance of training, board certification etc., balanced the higher anticipated earnings of physicians.
Some physicians charge an extra fee as "concierge" or "VIP" practices, typically a fee of about $1,500 per person to belong to that practice.
Is there a solution or alternative?
Fortunately yes, there are options, but it may require "thinking outside the box."
Typically, all managed care plans have provisions that require a deductible to be met. Once met, they will reimburse the patient for their visits/expenses per their policy. Typically this is an "80/20" (percent) split.
Insurance companies are in business to assume risk. The more risk that they assume, the larger the fee (premium) that is charged. The insurers charge a larger premium to cover that higher risk.
As an example, I bet my insurer every year that my house will burn down. They've won the bet every year, but I won't stop betting with them, because if I win, they need to replace my house; something I could not afford to do.
My car insurance company would love to insure my car to cover oil changes. The routine maintenance of my car would lead to excessive premiums I could not afford to pay, so I opt to pay for my own vehicle maintenance; they charge more for assuming more risk.
Unfortunately we're human and require maintenance - health care - as well as repairs when things go wrong. The health "insurance" industry is a misnomer: it's more of a "brokerage service."
Typically, generic medications used whenever possible will reduce costs and continue to do so. Supplements, homeopathic and herbal products can also work as well as more expensive pharmacologic agents. A knowledgeable nutrition consultant can provide help. They're often located in larger natural food grocery and health food stores. Specialty medical services, imaging, lab work, etc., are typically much more expensive than the services provided by your primary care physician.
Insurance companies generally provide a variety of plans, each providing a different level of coverage and risk assumed by the company. If you assume some of the risk yourself, your premiums with the insurer will be lower. If possible, consider changing to a policy that provides hospital care, as well as care for expensive tests and procedures and imaging such as MRIs, etc. Most of us have been conditioned to rely on plans to cover all of our expenses.
Health savings accounts present a way to save money prior to paying taxes on those funds.
These plans are typically administered by health insurers as options to allow you to start setting away money that can only be used for health care expenditures. These are paid for in "pre-tax" dollars and can "roll over" from year to year, so that anything unspent this year will be available for use in the future, all tax-free.
If you should choose true "insurance" for coverage of major catastrophe and large expenses, your standard monthly insurance premium will decrease substantially (remember, many of us have policies through work so we never "see" what we're paying unless we dig for it).
Take the money saved on the lower premium and invest it in a health savings account to be used for doctor's office visits, prescriptions and other more "routine" medical expenses.
Many physicians will offer discounts if paid in full the day of the visit as well. Ask your doctor about this. If the HAS is used, it'll generate about 30 percent of a discount since the dollars are "pre-tax." Any additional discount offered by your physician is more "icing on the cake."
This is all perfectly legal and a means of keeping your money in your pocket.

Watch System Logs in Real Time with Redis Pub/Sub
Little trick to get access to your logs:
This is a little python log handler that lets you stream your log data over a redis pub/sub channel, so you can monitor your system in real time from any redis client.[…] I am also interested in mapping the python logging names (foo.bar.baz) to redis channels that would enable you to listen to arbitrary applications, or subscribe to a collection using the redis wildcard subscriptions.

Much Ado…
It's so easy for Muslim men to comment on and point out all the flaws Muslim women have: wears a hijab, doesn't wear a hijab, wears full sleeves, doesn't wear full sleeves, prays, doesn't pray, fasts, doesn't fast, dates, doesn't date, etc. The list goes on. Excuse me, take a minute to reflect on yourself you judgmental, hypocritical little prick. Are you following all the Islamic guidelines set forth for you? Are you doing and saying all the right things? Because, no amount of women covering their heads and staying home to take care of your families will be able to wash away your sins, your hypocrisy, and your naivete. So instead of harping on us all the time about what we should and/or should not do, focus on yourself and try to achieve some semblance of modesty and self-respect—if, in fact, you're capable of such maturity and reflection.
I'm honestly so sick of this b.s.: "Oh sister, why do you not cover your head? In Islam it's mandatory for you to do so." Oh? Really? You don't say. Well, in that case, there's plenty more that's been made mandatory by our religion—let's cover the basics shall we? We must not lie, cheat, & steal; we must not speak ill of others; we must not act as hypocrites; we must forgive and seek forgiveness; we must educate; we must respect everyone (men/women/children/elderly); etc. Check off as much of that as you can, then we'll talk about the hijab, which btw, is my own personal choice, trying to guilt trip or forcing me to do it doesn't really count. Too often we pick and choose which guidelines to follow and which to ignore so that they are always to our benefit; if you've got the backbone for it, choose to follow them all, and then we can have a civil discussion about whatever you'd like. And in case anyone was wondering, hijab isn't just mandatory for women, it's mandatory for men as well. So, hey guys, show some haya'a, some modesty—quit wearing them shorts and showing them boxers, for starters.
All the Islamic rules and regulations weren't just made for women, they were made for men too; so why is it necessary for us to follow everything, and optional for you to follow anything?
Growing a beard and praying five times a day doesn't suddenly grant you access to bully and belittle anyone publicly, nor does it give you the right to start touting a holier-than-thou, high-horse mentality around everyone else. In fact, if anything, it should grant you the wisdom to make peace with your surroundings and to educate politely.

It may be the most memorable vacation after a group of friends saw what might have been a whale off the coast of Rocky Point hit a fishing boat.
People in the area have been seeing the whales for about a week now, but it was on Friday that something amazing happened.
Gillie Panasewicz and some of her friends were on a 38-foot catamaran and witnessed what looked like a humpback whale or fin whale hit a fishing boat.
The boat almost capsized.
Gillie says it looked like a mother and baby on a gorgeous day -- jumping, playing and showing off -- then something happened that she'll probably never forget.
"We saw a Mexican fishing boat..it was coming into shore and it was well loaded and obviously the bow was up and they couldn't really see where they were going and just as they were heading in, the whale came out of the water and they just collided completely..just smack..it was a very loud crash," explained Gillie.
"There was a couple of times when the whale came really close to our boat, in fact one of the times, it felt like she slightly nudged us, and we thought oh, wow..hope she doesn't decide to go up underneath us."
The fortunate thing here is that no one was hurt. The boat was slightly damaged.

One of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic architecture in England
Norwich's Catholic Cathedral was gifted to the city of Norwich by Henry Fitzalan Howard, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, providing a new centre of worship for the Catholic community in Norwich.
The Cathedral was built on the former site of the City Gaol. At the Duke's request it was designed in the Early English style of the 13th century by architect George Gilbert Scott junior, a recent convert to the Catholic faith.
One of the first things that you notice as you walk up the steps to the Cathedral is the thousands of fossils contained within the stone steps. Once inside, this element is continued with more fossils speckling the black Frosterley marble pillars surrounding the nave.
The nave consists of ten bays, supported by massive cylindrical columns. It is over 49 m (160 ft) long and 18 m (60 ft) high.
Also of note are the great number of attractive sculptures and some of the finest nineteenth century stained glass in Europe.
After nearly a century as the parish church of the Catholic community in Norwich it became the mother church of the new diocese of East Anglia in 1976. It is now the second largest Catholic cathedral in the country.
The Cathedral also incorporates the Narthex - a new visitor centre with a wealth of amenities.

Why your business needs an internal blog
Amid so many tweets, status updates, and SMS messages, it can be easy to lose sight that "social" doesn't necessarily mean "brief," especially when it comes to internal communications. It's hard to talk about financing, customer relations, or a complex manufacturing process in 140 characters, after all.
How can you encourage employees to share their knowledge and expertise throughout the organization in a way that invites collaboration yet doesn't disrupt the workflow? (I'm giving you the hairy eyeball, memos and emails.) One answer: An internal blog.
It's not necessarily something your customers and competitors will see—and a public-facing blog is a different beast entirely. Given their nature, internal blogs aren't a great tool for managing the finer details of a project. Yet an internal blog, safe and sound on your company Intranet or behind password protection on a third-party service, lets employees bounce ideas around and disseminate their experiences rapidly and informally.Read more »

Bring the family, your friends and everyone you know to experience Goshen's true spirit of community, friendship and fun at the 31st Annual Great American Weekend. Since the first patriotic celebration back in 1982, begun to help promote harness racing at the Historic Track, today the races are still an integral part of the activities. Great American Weekend continues to be more than just a weekend. It's a tradition that emphasizes why Goshen is proud to be a Great American Community!
Ted Spiegel described the goings-on in a June 2005 article in Hudson Valley Magazine: "Goshen is not only the Orange County seat, it's also the site of the Great American Weekend, arguably the Hudson Valley's liveliest Fourth of July celebration. Twenty thousand people a day will stroll through the nine-acre village green that surrounds the First Presbyterian Church, inspecting the offerings at 150 craft booths, grazing their way through a culinary snackopedia, and clapping approval for …local entertainers."
The Great American Weekend may only occur on one weekend out of the year, but it takes months of planning. The success of our event would not be possible without the partnership of the Village and Town of Goshen, First Presbyterian Church, downtown merchants, the vendors, volunteers, performers and all of the people who decide on Goshen as their destination for the weekend. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our Great American Weekend committee who spend many hours making everything come together seamlessly.
According to former chairperson Wendy Bynum-Wade, every event has a guardian angel and Great American Weekend (GAW) over the years has had many. Writes Bynum-Wade:
"We have lost a number of GAW individuals who gave a great deal of their time, resources and mostly of themselves to help this event grow into what it is today. Toni deGeode, Ruth White, Larry Meinwald and our beloved Police Chief John H. Egbertson, Sr. were all vital members of prior committees. Most recently, we lost Sarah "Sally" Wheeler who was an inspiration to all who knew her."
Today we miss them and will always be indebted to them for being the guiding forces behind Goshen's beloved Great American Weekend.

Netflix fights back, expands online library
With rival Redbox on the offensive, Netflix announces a deal with Epix to offer more streaming content.
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
Netflix (NFLX) announced a deal today that will broaden its library of streaming movies. The news comes as the movie rental retailer struggles to maintain its superior footing.
Netflix entered into a multi-year deal with Epix, a joint venture between Viacom (VIA) (parent company of Paramount Pictures), MGM and Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF).
Netflix will begin streaming their movies to customers on Sept. 1.
Epix has subscription pay TV rights to new releases and movies from the libraries of its partners and will make those movies available to Netflix 90 days after their premium pay TV and subscription on-demand debuts. Historically, the rights to distribute these films have been pre-sold to pay TV for as long as nine years after their release.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The deal comes on the heels of what was viewed by investors as a lackluster second-quarter report. While Netflix reported yet another record quarter when it comes to new subscribers and profit, it fell short of revenue forecasts. Investors also fear that its potential base for new subscribers is shrinking. Post continues after video:
On top of this, rival Coinstar (CSTR), which owns Redbox DVD kiosks, is also stepping up its game. The company announced last week that it will expand its reach, rolling out kiosks in CVS Caremark (CVS) stores.
Last month, the company said it will begin offering Blu-ray DVDs for $1.50 a night in the fall. It has also been reported that Coinstar is looking into creating a streaming service.
This, no doubt, will directly hurt Netflix in some capacity, limiting its future growth.

A Big Collection of Little Things
One of our most exciting recent acquisitions came from the family of Ruth Rosenfeld. Ruth was an avid miniaturist and world traveler, both factors that obviously influenced her fascinating collection of dollhouses, miniature rooms, and small (and some large) souvenirs from all over the world.
Ruth Rosenfeld began collecting small things and assembling dollhouses and miniature rooms in the mid-1970s. For her first project, she created a general store furnished with floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with merchandise. In Ruth's 30 years of collecting, organizing, and arranging her miniatures, she put together three very large dollhouses, several smaller ones, and some 60 miniature rooms, including examples of Early American taverns, Victorian dining rooms, and modern kitchens, living rooms, and libraries. Other miniature rooms represented a milliner's shop, toy stores, a quilt shop, a bookstore, and even an art gallery of Southwest Native American art. She also filled five rooms with well-made Shaker furnishings. Inspired by her travels, Ruth devoted several rooms to replicating homes and scenes from the foreign countries she had visited. She made a Japanese tea house, a street scene in Peru, a gallery of African figures, the dining and sitting area of a Chinese home, and a gallery of artifacts excavated from the tomb of King Tutankhamen.
Toys to children, hobbies to adults, miniatures fascinate us all. Kids use dollhouses and similar sets of small figures and structures as props for fantasy and imagination. Children narrate the actions of the figures and settings of their play, and they create and control their world of miniatures. For adult hobbyists, miniatures represent the worlds to control, too. Adults often recreate places they cherish and settings they wish never to forget.
When most of us look at miniatures, we stare in wonder at the craftsmanship and detail, just as a child might, and ask "how do they do that?"
3 comments on "A Big Collection of Little Things"
Foreign dolls and miniatures are one of my specialties and will be the focus of Dr. E's Doll Museum. Ruth is my soul-mate; I love her idea of placing her settings in settings. I enjoy this, too, and it is in the spirit of Margaret Woodbury Strong's original collections to cherish little things.
i would like to know if i sent you a picture of a miniture toy stove that i have if you could tell me if it is worth anything i seen a picture of the exact stove it says its in a museum

Sarah Dessen on June 4
Published on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 3:08pm
Best-selling author Sarah Dessen, will talk about her new book The Moon and More in the Great Hall at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on June 4 at 7 p.m. This event is in partnership with Politics & Prose Bookstore and is free and open to the public. After Ms. Dessen's talk, there will be a Q&A and copies of her new book will be available for purchase and signing.
Sarah Dessen is a prolific writer whose first two novels were adapted into the 2003 major motion picture How to Deal. Ms. Dessen's books are popular with both teen and adult audiences.
Dreamland is my favorite Dessen novel because it is haunting and poignant, yet hopeful. At the beginning of Dreamland, 16-year-old Caitlin's older sister runs away from home and leaves Caitlin and her parents distraught and confused. Soon after, Caitlin falls for Rogerson, the town's wealthy misfit. Rogerson is dark, brilliant, independent and violent; and, Caitlin gets lost in his world. She alienates herself from friends, hides Rogerson's abuse from her loved ones and tries to find a way to be herself while missing her older sister. Dreamland is a realistic and powerful read.
Visit Teen Space to check out Dreamland and to browse our collection of Sarah Dessen novels. I'm sure you'll find your favorite one. Then, join us on June 4 for Ms. Dessen's talk.

Ales Hemsky: Jumping Jack Flash
Ales Hemsky is a dividing figure among Oiler fans. Some see him as being the straw the stirs the drink, others look at him and see major flaws and a few in the middle feel he's quality but that no team can compete with a player of his calibre as their best offensive player.
One thing most (not all) Oiler fans can agree on is that the club was poorer without him. When Hemmer left the stage in 09-10, the rest of the band managed to go 17-41 for the rest of the season. I sincerely believe he could have helped.
- Boxcars: 22gp, 7-15-22
- Shots: 57
- Plus Minus: +7
- Corsi (Rel): 2.85 (1st but DNQ)
- 5×5/60: 2.85 (1st but DNQ)
- 5×4/60: 4.71 (3rd but DNQ)
- Quality of Competition: 8th F (DNQ)
- Quality of Teammates: 2nd F (DNQ)
- FO Percentage: 100% in 1 FO
- Offensive Zone FO %: 43.5 (toughest but DNQ)
- Cap Hit: $4.1M
- What do these numbers tell us? Beauty player. Just a beauty. Ales Hemsky is one of two current roster players (the other is Penner) who can create offense 5×5 all by his lonesome. It is a valuable item, like platinum or Jill Hennessy. Hemsky's explosive offense is pure reflex, he is a sublime talent whose only real issue is finding men who can form a solid rhythm section under his riffs. Wonderful Corsi again, stupid cap number. I think his injury came at a point where he had a better 5×5 than PP number (per 60) but suspect he would have turned it around by season's end.
- How could these numbers be better? Health is a concern with this player. No matter the talent level, the man needs to stay in the lineup for more than 22 games. I don't think Hemsky is ever going to be a consistent 2-way winger. This is not to suggest that he lacks stones, because in fact Hemsky is the most physical of Edmonton's pure skill wingers (by a furlong).He's from the Guy Lafleur family, all motion and flow and instinct and reaction. It is beautiful to watch but a challenge for a button down coach. Hemsky is somewhat vulnerable with the current head coach because of his approach to the game. I don't think it'll cost him the 1line RW job in Edmonton, but I didn't think they would trade Visnovsky either.
- What about a trade? There is a train of thought that a team starting over with the 2010 draft pick should cash 83 and use Cogs and Gagner as the outer marker age-wise. I don't think it makes any sense at all, since Hemsky is still on the good side of 30 and seems to be happy as an Oiler. Should this trade happen, Steve Tambellini get more than 100 cents on the dollar and that's a fact. Hemsky's don't fall out of the sky and trading him at this age is just this side of batshit crazy.
- What about playing with Horcoff? I think it is the ideal combination, certainly more important than Penner on LW. Horcoff is Hemsky's Lemaire, playing high until the zone is gained and doing the heavy work when needed. I don't think there is anyone on the Oilers roster who can match their chemistry and there's really no need to split them up.
- Is this injury thing going to be chronic? You never know. I'm tempted to say he'll be fine once the Oilers trade for Regehr and Boogard, but the truth is that 83 plays the game with abandon and there are going to be injuries in the future. I guess the bottom line is that all players are a risk and Hemsky's injury history is already pretty long for his age. It is a concern.
- Will they continue to play him against the toughs? It depends on how the club wants to use Horcoff next season. I don't think we should be concerned about Hemsky being on the tough minutes line. Although he does commit turnovers in spots Pat Quinn can see through his coke bottles, the guy has been brought up playing tough opponents and has thrived on it in the past.
- When will Hemsky give way to Gagner as PP QB? He may never give up the title. Gagner's number was impressive this season but Hemsky has a long track record and is exceptional with the man advantage. I don't know that they can play on the same PP since their skills are quite similar.

How attached are you to your deeply held beliefs? If solutions to global problems challenge your worldview, how do you react?
Allan Savory's recent TED Talk introduced an unlikely and politically incorrect solution to reversing global desertification and climate change with the use of livestock as a tool, and different decision making.
Well-meaning laws, bureaucracies, and activists at the mercy of public opinion have stifled this work from moving forward on a large scale in the US. Belief systems and the fear of being wrong often prohibits change.
How do you respond to ideas that challenge your belief system? How do we stop our paradigms and prejudices from unfairly shaping decision making, and allowing us to take real risks for lasting change? What's your reaction to cows helping save the world? What idea have you believed and been completely wrong?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 14 2013: I'm lucky ... before seeing the TED talk I knew nothing about any of this. As a gardener I have always believed in caring for the soil (deep beds, no dig, masses of compost, companion plants, etc) but the greatest amount of livestock I ever managed is three hens.
So I had no paradigms. At least, not around this subject.
And I have read Kuhn, and dealt with conflicting paradigms in the past (try submitting a post-grad thesis based on co-operative inquiry, as opposed to reductionist research methods!)
And I'm an enthusiastic follower of the so-called "paleo" movement (enthusiastic, not religious!) so I'm delighted at the prospect that raising organic grass-fed beef could be an answer to so many environmental ills as well as human health problems.
Now, how can we put our recent inheritance and life-time delivering management and personal training to good use to help others overcome their paradigm conflicts? Maybe running some co-operative inquiries into the life-changing effects of understanding and implementing holistic decision making into all walks of life.
Anyone interested?
In the meantime I'm reading the books.
Mar 14 2013: Hi James - Yes I'm interested !! Margriet here from 'Down Under' (Australia). We also have a miracle-working desert re-greener down here in the person of Peter Andrews & his method is called 'natural sequence farming'. Instead of using live-stock initially to rehabilitate degraded land, this method uses WEEDS. The key to rehabilitating degraded land is to revegitate & ANY way of accomplishing this must be done if we are going to save our planet. Literally. I think you agree. Weeds grow the quickest of any vegetation (& the most prolifically giving the greatest biomass in the shortest time) & if slashed at peak growth & left on the surface to cover the surface soil & then allowed to regrow several times, it only takes a few MONTHS this way to re-establish soil moisture & fertility at which point grasses & grains naturally re-invade the area after which this type of vegetation has become established the land can be stocked with whatever type of live stock the farmer desires. After the weed crops have worked their magic & restored fertility & moisture to the soild, in Peter's method this state of affairs is maintained by leaving all of the highest areas of land covered in trees & shrubs, as among other benefits when the area is re-stocked with animals they tend to do most of their resting & dunging up in the high areas under the shady trees AND when it rains the nutrients in the dung & urine get washed down back into the grassy areas.
Some of the advantages of using weeds initially is that they do it all for free. They only have to be slashed a couple of times. And for the many vegetarians who are pricking up their ears about these fabulous ways of re-greening our planet & reversing global warming at the same time, natural sequence farming doesn't rely on beef production. So you don't have to go out & buy a herd of any kind of meat producing animals to be successful. Peter Andrews learned his method of desert reclamation raising horses. Check it out Cheers

Sugaring Flowers
Sugaring Flowers
Summertime is a great opportunity to practice some new flower crafts. It's amazing how many different crafts use fresh flowers. You can press flowers, but if you have access to edible flowers, you can enjoy a much sweeter flower craft. Sugaring flowers is a simple, delicious, and fun way to preserve and enjoy edible flowers. Once you have perfected your skills, you can use them to decorate delicious cakes and other food items.
If you want to try sugaring flowers there are a few items that you will need.
Edible flowers
Egg whites/powdered egg whites/meringue powder
Super fine sugar
Paint brush
2 bowls
Waxed paper
Cookie Sheet
Your first step will be to collect at least a dozen fresh edible flowers. Make sure that you know which flowers are edible. Some flowers are only partially edible, and other flowers are completely inedible. The whole point of sugaring flowers is to preserve flowers and make them more tasty, so you can make delicious decorations for all of your homemade confections. Some flowers naturally taste better than others, so choose your flowers carefully. You also need to be sure that the flowers you pick are nice and fresh; they should not be old or wilted.
If you don't have your own edible flowers, you can purchase them at the store. Should you choose to purchase flowers, make sure they are organic. You should also make sure that you wash all of your flowers very well. You don't want them to be dirty when you sugar them. After you wash the flowers, make sure they completely dry (pat them with a paper town or let them air dry) before you start sugaring them.
When your flowers are dry you can begin preparing to sugar your flowers. First, prepare the eggs. You can use regular egg whites, but they will not be cooked, so they may be dangerous. Powdered egg whites or meringue powder are a suitable substitute, but they don't have the best flavor. Fill a bowl with super fine sugar, and have an empty bowl on the side.
Next prepare the cookie sheet, so you can dry the flowers when they are finished. Cut a sheet of waxed paper so that it will fit on the cookie sheet and coat if with some sugar. The waxed paper and sugar will keep the finished flowers from sticking to the cookie sheet.
Now that everything is prepared, you are ready to start sugaring the flowers. Choose the flower you want to start with, dip the paint brush into the eggs and brush the entire flower with the egg whites. If you want you can use the tweezers to hold onto the stem of the flower, so you don't get any egg on your hands and you can easily brush the entire flower with egg.
It is very important that the entire flower be coated in the egg. It is the egg and sugar the preserve the flowers and after it dries the flowers become hard. If you miss part of the flower, that part won't be preserved and your flower won't look as nice when you are finished.
Next, after the flower is coated with egg, hold the flower over the empty bowl and coat completely with sugar. Make sure the entire flower is covered with the sugar and let the excess sugar fall into the empty bowl. Finally, carefully place the flower on the cookie sheet in the position that you want it to dry in.
Completely finish each flower before starting the next. When all of your flowers are finished, set them aside and allow them to dry completely. They are finished when they are hard and no longer wet. Do not use the sugar that fell into the empty bowl, it touched the egg white, and is not good to use again. When your flowers are dry they will keep for a week or so, but you probably want to use them fairly soon after making them. Your sugared flowers will be a beautiful, fun and delicious treat to decorate any confection.

"MythBusters" is looking to the future -- and leaving some of its regulars behind.
On Thursday night's episode of the Discovery Channel show, longtime hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage announced that the members of the Build Team, also known as M7 -- Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tory Belleci -- were leaving the show.
Moreover, as Byron revealed in a tweet afterwards, the show was "taking a new direction."
Byron and Belleci had been with "MythBusters" since 2004. Imahara joined in 2005.
"It is ... the end of an era," Savage said in a video message.
"This next season we're going back to our origins with just Adam and me," said Hyneman.
"It has been a total pleasure, not only to work with you, but to call you our friends," said Savage.
The trio thanked the show for the experience.
"It's been an amazing ride for 10 years! We couldn't have done it without you guys. You're the best fans anyone could wish for. Thank you," tweeted Belleci.
"I am sad for an ending but there will be exciting new adventures for us," tweeted Byron.
No reason was given for the change. In a statement, Discovery Channel said, "Everyone at Discovery wants to thank them for their tireless work busting almost 1000 myths, and we wish them all the best on their future endeavors."
The show has been on the air since 2003.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Families of three Wisconsin victims in a 2006 traffic crash linked to General Motors' faulty ignition switches have yet to decide whether to take a company settlement. Ken Rimer says the families will meet with their lawyer tomorrow after G-M announced a compensation fund yesterday.
18-year-old Natasha Weigel and 15-year-old Amy Rademacher were killed when their car stalled, veered off a road, and slammed into trees in rural Saint Croix County in far western Wisconsin. The driver, 17-year-old Megan Phillips, suffered brain damage. G-M has admitted that one of the girls died directly from the ignition problem, because an air bag in front of her had not deployed.
Yesterday G-M said all passengers in such crashes would be eligible for compensation, after refusing to compensate back seat riders previously.
The three Wisconsin families have a lawsuit pending. Rimer says he'll need to know more before deciding whether to drop the suit and accept G-M's compensation. Amounts have not been disclosed, but company settlement administrator Kenneth Feinberg said families would know the offers before having to decide whether to take them.

Spain confers Order of Civil Merit on DIFF's Artistic Director
Dec 19,2010 - 06:24 PM
His Excellency Gonzalo de Benito, the Spanish ambassador to the UAE, yesterday honoured DIFF by awarding the Order of Civil Merit to the Festival's Artistic Director, Masoud Amralla Al Ali on behalf of King Juan Carlos. The accolade honours those who have enhanced Spain's presence in the world.
De Benito cited Al Ali's longstanding commitment to showcasing Spanish and Spanish-language cinema at the Festival as well as DIFF's new collaboration with the San Sebastian Film Festival. He also praised Al Ali as 'a man of art' in his own right.
'I'm a shy person so I don't know how to express myself,' Al Ali said after the green-ribboned medal was pinned to his dishdasha. 'But this is a great thing. It's an honour for His Majesty to give this award to the UAE. I don't consider it's for me.' He added: 'Culture is a form of dialogue where people come together and understand each other and love each other. To be honoured in this field is the maximum.' He also thanked his family, DIFF's chairman Abdulhamid Juma and the Festival's programmers, noting the ability of cultural enterprise 'to change society from the foundation, not from above'.
De Bonito praised Dubai as 'a great city of culture' and Dubai and the UAE in general as 'rising stars on the international scene. Culture is essential share thoughts, to get closer. In the time we're living in, we need to get closer.' Echoing remarks of Al Ali's, he added: 'We are proud of more than 800 years of history with the Arab and Muslim world.' And, hailing DIFF as 'one of the great [film] festivals worldwide,' he said he 'came here to say thank you for all the support' it has shown Spanish cinema since its inception.
