Doane takes two from Wesleyan
The Dakota Wesleyan University baseball team dropped two games to Doane College in a Great Plains Athletic Conference doubleheader Saturday at Cadwell Park in Mitchell.
DWU (16-18, 2-6 GPAC) has lost 10 of its last 11 games and struggled to get its offense going against Doane (32-7, 10-0 GPAC), which has not lost a conference game this season.

Better Dating Through Mind Control
Harris O'Malley writes at the Good Men Project:

Getting better at dating is hard enough.
It gets even harder when it feels like your own mind is fighting back against your attempts to improve yourself.
When I was younger, I used to be a chronic insomniac. I'd be physically tired, but I could never actually get to sleep; my body would be exhausted but I could never get my brain to quiet down long enough for me to relax and pass out. Every night became an exercise in what I called "riding the maelstrom"1—a mental whirlpool of worst-case scenarios, self-recrimination, anxieties and doubts. I would start to drift off to sleep when suddenly I would remember something stupid I'd done that day—"Why did I say that to Emily, oh Christ I'm such a fucking idiot, no wonder I can't get a girlfriend see this is why you're a loser.
Is LSD A Gateway Drug To Buddhism?
I went to a Zen temple in my early 20s, and, ever the scientist, every chance I got to speak to a monk one on one, I asked every one of them if they had tripped on psychedelics and how important their trips were in their decision to become a monk. And I'd say 99% of these junior monks in their 20s all got their start on LSD.
Spiritual Bypassing: Using Spirituality To Avoid Pain
Author and psychotherapist Robert Augustus Masters outlines a pervasive phenomenon in contemporary New Age spirituality, spiritual bypassing:
Via Reality Sandwich:
… Read the rest
Spiritual bypassing, a term first coined by psychologist John Welwood in 1984, is the use of spiritual practices and beliefs to avoid dealing with our painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs. It is much more common than we might think and, in fact, is so pervasive as to go largely unnoticed, except in its more obvious extremes.
Part of the reason for this is that we tend not to have very much tolerance, either personally or collectively, for facing, entering, and working through our pain, strongly preferring pain-numbing "solutions," regardless of how much suffering such "remedies" may catalyze. Because this preference has so deeply and thoroughly infiltrated our culture that it has become all but normalized, spiritual bypassing fits almost seamlessly into our collective habit of turning away from what is painful, as a kind of higher analgesic with seemingly minimal side effects.
Scientists Declare Buddhist Monk The World's Happiest Person
Happiness is a gamma wave. Via Oddity Central:
… Read the rest
Matthieu Ricard was declared the happiest man on Earth by a group of scientists after it was discovered his brain produces a level of gamma waves never before reported in the field of neuroscience.
A former molecular geneticist who left his life and career behind to discover the secrets of Buddhism, Ricard is now one of the most celebrated monks in the Himalayas and a trusted advisor of the Dalai Lama. In 2009, neuroscientist Richard Davidson wired up the French monk's head with 256 sensors as part of a research project on hundreds of advanced practitioners of meditation.
The scans showed something remarkable: when meditating on compassion, Ricard's brain produced a level of gamma waves linked to consciousness, attention, learning and memory that were never even reported before in neuroscience literature. Furthermore, the scans scans also showed excessive activity in his brain's left prefrontal cortex, giving him an abnormally large capacity for happiness and a reduced propensity towards negativity.
Exploring The Mastermind Technique For Goal Accomplishment
Author and personal development coach Steve Barnes begins a series of posts discussing the "Mastermind" concept–a technique of gathering and consolidating resources necessary for attaining goals. He starts off with describing a very cool NLP/visualization exercise he did with his daughter to help her overcome a performance block.

"The mastermind is the only known means of overcoming a lack of ability."–Napoleon Hill.
A critical concept, whether we look at an individual, a couple, or a crowd. Whether the goals are internal or external, whether they are artistic, commercial or spiritual.
This is so critical that I want to concentrate my thoughts here for a while. The primary definition of a "Mastermind" is: two or more people working together in a spirit of perfect harmony to support shared or separate goals.
Let's relate it simply to the first basic levels: An individual.

DIY Ganzfeld Hacks
The sound artist Kim Cascone passed along a great link for making DIY Ganzfeld goggles. When I was at the Rhine Research Center we were able to see their Ganzfeld rooms, and I've been interested in experimenting with the technique once I get more time. These kind of 'hacks' are a great way to work with some of the consciousness studies research without having the benefits of grant funding or donors!
"The Ganzfeld effect is a form of visual sensory deprivation. The idea is to give the open eyes a blank visual field of uniform color. Since there is nothing for the eyes to see, the brain cuts off the unchanging input, and often manufactures its own images – these may be thought of as mild hallucinations. Personally, I haven't experienced any vivid hallucinations via a Ganzfield, but I find the effect to be rather relaxing. I've found that a Ganzfeld is very good for helping to eliminate excess chatter in the mind, especially when practicing meditation.… Read the rest
A Scientific Revolution Driven by Meditation?
Most of us probably assume that scientists have little time for the mysteries of Eastern spirituality and meditation. And until just a few years ago that assumption might well have been true. But in recent years the emerging field of contemplative science has been having a real effect on the perception of meditation in the scientific community, a shift that might be the start of a new scientific revolution.
David Vargo is an instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, and has held the position of Senior Research Coordinator for the Mind and Life Institute, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fostering dialogue and research at the highest possible level between modern science and the great contemplative traditions. In this episode of the Buddhist Geeks podcast he gives a cogent overview of the state of scientific research in to meditation.

Study Shows Meditation Changes Brain Structure in Just 8 Weeks
Christie Nicholson writes in Scientific American:
… Read the rest
The benefits of meditation have received newfound evidence from neuroscience in the last five years, as researchers are finding real physiological changes due to a sort of formally practiced introspection.
Recently scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital had 16 participants take an eight-week mindfulness meditation program. This sort of meditation focuses on nonjudgmental awareness of sensations and feelings. Subjects practiced for about 30 minutes a day.
Brain images were taken of each subject before and after the training. Scientists found increases in gray-matter density in the hippocampus — an area responsible for learning and memory. And they saw decreased density in the amygdala— which is responsible for our anxiety and stress responses …
All this reminds us of two things: 1) The brain is much more plastic than scientists thought even just a decade ago and 2) the way we feel—calm or anxious—can be correlated with real structural indicators in our brains.

White spots on my greens?
echobellyFebruary 8, 2012
I have a few raised beds planted with a mix of loose leaf salad greens and herbs. They are on the north side of the house planted in miracle grow potting mix. They are doing great, but all the greens (not sure what they all are, the seeds were "mesclun salad mix") have white spots (in the leaf, not on it) and the dill is covered with a thin white powder that does wash off. What could be causing this?
Maybe they aren't getting enough sun? I put the beds in the shade so I could have fresh salad all year. Any ideas?

Preview: Italy edge out Argentina
June 28, 2008
Prop Rodrigo Roncero will captain Argentina for the first time against Italy in Cordoba on Saturday.
Roncero, who has not played for the Pumas since the World Cup, takes over the captaincy from Felipe Contepomi who is rested by coach Santiago Phelan.
The Pumas boss has made a total of seven changes to the side beated by Scotland 26-14 in Buenos Aires two weeks ago that were largely expected following the announcement of the matchday squad earlier this week.
Roncero is joined in new-look front row by fellow prop Juan Gomez and hooker Alvaro Tejeda.
The backline also sees some key changes led by the return of World Cup star Juan Martin Hernandez at flyhalf - one of several Pumas to join up with the squad this week following the conclusion of their club duties in the French Top 14.
Two of those players - Marcelo Bosch and Miguel Avramovic - form the centre partnership for Saturday's clash with the Azzurri.
Lock Manuel Carizza comes in for Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe, while Alvaro Galindo comes in at flanker in the absence of Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.
Italy have been boosted on the eve of the clash by the return of skipper Sergio Parisse.
No.8 Parisse, and his Stade Francais team mates Mauro and Mirco Bergamasco, are named in the starting line-up for the Cordoba clash following their club's defeat in the French Top 14 semi-finals at the weekend.
Parisse re-claims the captain's armband from stand-in skipper Leonardo Ghiraldini who led the side in their 26-0 defeat to South Africa last weekend.
Earlier this week coach Nick Mallett hailed the importance of his returning skipper, commenting, "Parisse is a very important player for the Italian national team. He was the second best player at the last Six Nations.
"Every national team would want him as their number eight - even the All Blacks."
Flanker Mauro Bergamasco returns for the Azzurri for the first time following his 17 week ban for gouging Wales fullback Lee Byrne during February's 47-8 Six Nations defeat in Cardiff.
Elsewhere 20-year-old fly-half Luke McLean retains the No.10 shirt and once again partners scrum-half Simone Picone.
Argentina: Bernardo Stortoni, Lucas Borges, Marcelo Bosch, Miguel Avramovic, Horacio Agulla, Juan Martin Hernandez, Nicolas Vergallo, Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Alvaro Galindo, Martin Durand, Esteban Lozada, Manuel Carizza, Juan Gomez, Alvaro Tejeda, Rodrigo Roncero (captain).
Replacements: Pablo Gambarini, Pedro Ledesma, James Stuart, Alejandro Campos, Alfredo Lalanne, Federico Martin Aramburu, Hernan Senillosa.
Italy: Andrea Marcato, Kaine Robertson, Mirco Bergamasco, Gonzalo Garcia, Matteo Pratichetti, Luke McLean, Simon Picone, Sergio Parisse (c), Mauro Bergamasco, Josh Sole, Carlo Antonio Del Fava, Santiago Dellape, Carlos Nieto, Fabio Ongaro, Ignacio Rouyet.

Re: SABR/Sports Econ update

- Essentially the Spurs got Speedy Claxton for Salmons. Claxton played
in only 30 regular season games this year. The Spurs traded Leon
Smith for Giricek and later traded Giricek for a second round pick
and cash. So, regardless of whether they drafted these guys to keep
them or trade them, one first round pick became a backup guard who
played in 30 games and the other first round pick became a second
round pick and cash. I'm not trying to pick on the Spurs; clearly
they have drafted well overall and have won two titles in a five year
span. My original point in this thread was that the Lakers' draft
record should be compared to teams like the Spurs that also draft
near the bottom each year and not teams like the Nuggets that are
always in the lottery. The Spurs have made some excellent picks, but
they also have made some picks that ultimately didn't amount to
anything. It should also be pointed out that the cornerstone of the
Spurs' success, Tim Duncan, arrived in San Antonio because the Spurs
obtained a lottery pick (ultimately the number one overall selection)
after a season in which David Robinson hardly played due to injuries
and the Spurs plummeted in the standings. So they did not reach the
top by clever late round selections alone; some of those selections
(Parker, Ginobili) became nice complementary pieces. The Lakers' two
cornerstones arrived via free agency (Shaq) and draft day trade
(Divac for Kobe).
Basically, I never said whether or not I thought the Lakers drafted
better than the Spurs and other elite teams; I said that comparing
their drafts to the Spurs and other elite teams is a more valid
comparison than comparing late first round picks to lottery picks. I
also made the point that the Lakers' failure to fourpeat
(if "failure" is the correct word) had more to do with years of not
signing free agents to skirt paying the luxury tax than their
drafting prowess. This year the Lakers signed two future HoFers on
the cheap (or relatively on the cheap), so it will be interesting to
see what impact GP and Malone have on the whole picture. It may take
a few more years to know for sure whether Buss' decision to not pay
the luxury tax (or pay as little as possible) was a good one or if it
will end up costing the Lakers potential titles.

That is why I specifically said "over a period of years, letting spikes in
bonus payments wash out" in the case of the NFL. The one year payroll
numbers you listed are meaningless to my point, do you have the data to run
them for the last 5 years or more? That will tell you who has the "harder"
Gary CollardMaybe the coefficient of variation (SD / Mean * 100) is a more apt measure for comparing the variation of payrolls for different sports across seasons.Year NHL NFL NBA MLB
1994 28.3 8.7 15.2 26.6
1995 26.6 12.7 24.1 27.7

2002 33.0 18.1 20.6 36.6
2003 35.9 #N/A 24.0 38.9On this measure, NBA teams show less variation in payroll than baseball and hockey teams, but the NFL teams are more level than any of them.Data from Rodney Fort's excellent resource: http://users.pullman.com/rodfort/SportsBusiness/BizFrame.htmed

Bees in my eaves!
So while I was out doing my Memorial Day chores, I noticed a bunch of bees over by a pyrocantha bush near the corner of my house. Upon further inspection I found that they were entering/exiting a crack in my eaves/soffit!
Does anyone know if home owner's insurance will cover the removal of the nest, or will I have to foot the bill entirely? And what should I expect if I have to pay for it?
I don't think they've been there very long, I can't hear them from inside the house. So hopefully the nest isn't too large...
I'm not sure if UNM has an entomology program but you may call them and ask if they are interested or have any advice. I have heard of a few people not being charged for this service because the bees were kept for research. Might be worth a shot.
I don't know if homeowners insurance will cover the removal of the nest but I know the charge would most likely start around $100. It all depends on the situation, could me more, could be less. Good luck.
Sounds interesting!
As a beekeeper myself, I would echo the above advice, that someone may want that colony, if of course, they are honeybees, and not hornets or wasps. This possibility would be the first thing to check out. People I know who remove honeybee colonies from homes have mentioned sucking them out with a shop-vac. You could try that yourself with the proper attire.
I might offer to take them away for you, except that I've already housed two swarms this spring (from trees, not homes), and now have 4 colonies, which is probably too many already.
Good luck...
I followed the advice of some people on this site, and I shot holes in the nest with my shotgun. This did not work. It just made my neighbours and the bees angry.
Eventually somebody called he police because of all the shooting. After explaining my situation to the police, they begn firing their hand guns at the nest, but it did not work. The bees just attacked us and covered us in bee stings.
I think the best way to get rid of bees is to use a baseball bat and smash the nest so that you can be sure that it is destroyed. You may get a few bites, but nobody will be annoyed by all the shooting, and the police wont have to be called.

I went hiking along Barton Creek in the Greenbelt in search of the beginning/ending of the water that can be found in the upper part of the creek. The lower section is completely dry. I entered at the Loop 360 entrance and walked West until I eventually located water in the creek but was still unable to find the actual end to the flow due to the trail's proximity to the Creek.
I plan on going back to try again in the very near future.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

I do'nt know what to say
I just wanted to give this animation a 10 xD... I enjoyed this very much, thanks
the vastness of creative human thought, a wonder beyond all, which drives creation and furthers the experience of our artistic existential understanding. The rights and wrongs of art are pure perspective, but as we perceive, we collaborate those point of views as a whole rather than separate to a degree of collective dreaming.
whether or not we realize it, we all think art, we all make art, we all are art.
the will of the artist is symbolized through this piece as well as others.
this is what art is, to JUST CREATE.
but as an artist, i like to critique as well, the thing i found a bit out of place was the antagonist of space, how did he get off earth and on the moon so quickly? and why would he need the bike if he already had the station? i know it added on to the silent plot but felt a little anticlimactic that it turned out h had transportation all along, or the fact he just wanted to lure him for some odd reason.
fantastic overall.
Sweet and childish :)
this alien remind me of pedobear :D
Well, that was intoxicating.
You've taken a song and given it it's own life, and you've done it better than I ever could, or most people could. I love the little things you added to it as well: the Newgrounds blimp, the original gameboy...you sir, have managed to grab a good portion of what could be my own child-hood and wove it into a piece of art. Unbelievably well done, and thank you so much for this piece.
Oh oh an alien creeper. Chris .. Chris Hanson
Found the no-pants alien hilarious, some reason totally though space pedophile.
But truthfully I cannot state any of the minor nitpicks because it was so overwhelming well excited and paced animation and music, that it was captivating experience.
Guarantee for Christmas collection. . . . just saying Christmas 2011 third spot because first going to be " Skyrim chirstmas: Christmas Comes But Once a Dragonborn or Christmas in Whiterun, The Greybeards Christmas Thu'um ans so on. Congradulations all three of you superb job.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The question I was asked more than any other (perhaps with the exception of "Are you going to interview him?" Answer: No) when I told people I was writing a Jewish biography of Bob Dylan was, "Isn't he still a born-again Christian?" To which I always replied, "Who knows?"
Indeed, who knows? And in any case, it's beside the point. This book sets out to make no claims about Bob Dylan's past or present religious beliefs or self-identification. There are enough onthe-record comments from Dylan to support any viewpoint—he's Jewish, he's Christian, he's Rastafarian, he doesn't believe in any religion, or he finds G-d in music, religion in the songs.
All that being said, there are certainly indications, in his songs and in the little we know about his offstage life—which is surprisingly little, considering how much has been written about him, how many websites and discussion groups are devoted to him, and how fanatically curious his ardent followers can be about him—suggesting that Dylan has never fully abandoned the faith of his forebears. Rather, he has apparently taken very seriously his relationship to Judaism, a relationship that, as this book sets out to demonstrate, so fully and completely informs his life and his work—lyrically, thematically, musically, and otherwise—that it cannot be ignored as an essential aspect of both.
A funny thing happened when I began a mostly self-directed study of Jewish scripture—the Bible, the Talmud, the mystical writings comprising the Kabbalah, the traditional prayer liturgy—in my mid-thirties. Every so often, an image, a theme, or a phrase would jump out at me as something familiar. This wasn't an echo of previous learning of Jewish texts—of that I had next to none. For me, the texts that I had memorized as a schoolboy—the words that I could access almost immediately in much the same manner that a yeshiva graduate can quote nearly any chapter and verse from the Torah—were the lyrics of Bob Dylan, which I began studying at age fourteen in 1974 and have continued to study with a regularity bordering on obsession ever since.
The great surprise that awaited me when turning my attention in midlife toward the rich trove of Jewish texts was that there was a significant overlap between the torah of Dylan and the Torah of Moses. For example, in the book of Prophets, Ezekiel recounts a vision of angels: "The soles of their feet… their appearance was like fiery coals, burning like torches." And in the Bible, G-d warns Moses, "No human can see my face and live," after the latter asks the Former if He would reveal his physical manifestation. These verses were uncannily familiar when I read them the first time in their original versions, as I knew them from Bob Dylan songs. "The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning," Dylan sings in "The Wicked Messenger," from 1967. And on the chorus of "I and I," from 1983, Dylan proclaims, "One says to the other / No man sees my face and lives."
One of the most rewarding ways of approaching Bob Dylan's lyrics is to read them as the work of a poetic mind apparently immersed in Jewish texts and engaged in the age-old process of midrash: a kind of formal or informal riffing on the texts in order to elucidate or elaborate upon their hidden meanings. Perhaps the most famous of these riffs takes place in one of Dylan's best-known songs, 1965's "Highway 61 Revisited," his whimsical retelling of the Akeidah, the story in which G-d commands Abraham to bind Isaac as if for a sacrificial offering, which Dylan posits as a conversation between two jaded, cynical hipsters. U.S. Route 61, incidentally, is the main highway leading from New Orleans to Dylan's birthplace in Duluth, Minnesota.
While the Abraham and Isaac story is one of the core legends of Western civilization, as far back as 1962, lyrics by the son of Abe Zimmerman reveal a familiarity with Torah far beyond the basics of the average religious school education. The song "Blowin' in the Wind," destined to become a civil rights anthem, borrows imagery from two biblical prophets, Ezekiel and Isaiah, to which Dylan would often return for inspiration. The song "Love Minus Zero/No Limit," one of his most beautiful love songs, gains added heft and resonance when one realizes that much of its symbolism is drawn from early chapters of the book of Daniel. And any attentive Dylan fan stumbling upon these verses in chapter 26 of Leviticus—"Your strength shall be spent in vain …I will make your heaven like iron… You shall eat and not be satisfied…"—will recognize them as the raw material from which he shaped the 1967 song "I Pity the Poor Immigrant."
Although facts about Dylan's Jewish upbringing and practice are hard to come by given his notorious penchant for privacy, purposeful obfuscation, or even outright deception regarding his personal life, evidence from his lyrics, his public statements, and some undisputed biographical items add up to a convincing portrait of a mind profoundly shaped by Jewish influence, study, and belief, and a life lived largely as a committed Jew. Although Dylan grew up near the Canadian border in the cold, hard, iron-mining town of Hibbing, Minnesota—as one might imagine, not exactly a hotbed of Jewish communal life and culture—his nuclear and extended family of grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins who lived in Hibbing or in the nearby port city of Duluth—where he was born and to where his family frequently returned—retained enough connection with Jewish tradition to observe the dietary laws, to mark the weekly Sabbath, and to stage a party the likes of which had never been seen in Hibbing when it came time for Dylan to become bar mitzvah in 1954. The teenage Bobby Zimmerman spent the next three or four summers at a Jewish camp in Wisconsin, and as a freshman at the University of Minnesota in 1959, he lived in a Jewish fraternity house.
Much has been made and written of Bob Dylan as a product of the American folk and blues traditions. Without question, Dylan's specific art has always drawn very heavily on Anglo-American folk, African-American blues, gospel music, Tin Pan Alley pop, country music, and other styles of American music. Dylan's genius has been to take them further, to combine them with other strains of music, and to foster a revolution in American music that saw rock triumph over sugary pop in the mid-1960s as the premier expression of the youthful counterculture.
But there is another context from which Dylan has sprung. While he may never have heard of Eliakum Zunser—and there's no evidence that he has—and while he may be utterly unfamiliar with the folk-protest tradition that was part of the culture of his Russian Jewish ancestors back in the Pale of Settlement, there is still something of Zunser in Dylan, as much as there is of the folk-singer Woody Guthrie and the blues legend Robert Johnson. One of the very first original compositions that Dylan debuted in folk clubs in New York upon arriving there in 1961 was "Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues," based on Guthrie's patented style of "talking blues." From the earliest days of his career, Dylan—contrary to the received notion that he engaged in a deliberate cover-up of his background—wore his Jewish heart on his sleeve.
The Jewish influence on Dylan's art, or on the practice of his art, goes deeper than a superficial or coincidental resemblance to that of Eliakum Zunser's a century earlier. Like much blues and some folk itself, Dylan's work stems from the ancient tradition of Jewish prophecy—not in the sense of foretelling the future, but rather in the sense that a prophet, or in Hebrew, a navi, is a truth-teller to and an admonisher of his people: literally, a "proclaimer." The Prophets, whose sermons and declarations are collected in the biblical books of Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others, were, in a sense, social critics—the original protest singers, if you will. They pointed out the hypocrisies and errors of their subjects' ways, warning of punishments that could befall them and suggesting paths toward collective redemption. Some of them also recount in detail their encounters with G-d, or what we call their "mystical" experiences, and describe a future time when others will enjoy such intimate encounters with the Creator.
The biblical Prophets did not so much engage in the act of prophecy, in the sense of foretelling the future (although they did warn about what would happen to their listeners if they did not heed their words or the laws of G-d), as they engaged in sociocultural criticism. They warned against backsliding and immorality and blatant lawbreaking and foretold the bloody consequences of this behavior. In many ways, Jesus, too, fits into this tradition of Jewish prophecy, although Christians believe that Jesus was not just another Jewish prophet but rather the divine bringer of a new message and a new covenant with G-d.
Consciously or not, Bob Dylan has in large part adopted the modes of Jewish prophetic discourse as one of his primary means of communication, determining the content of his songs, the style of delivery, and his relationship to his audience. As the great twentieth-century American theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote about the biblical Prophets, "The words in which the prophets attempted to relate their experiences were not photographs but illustrations, not descriptions but songs." (Emphasis mine.) Throughout his career, Dylan has repeatedly returned to that very same prophetic tradition to infuse his songs with a measure of impact and dignity that so obviously sets his work apart from other singer-songwriters of the rock era.
To put it another way, Dylan's innovation was to invert what was until then the purpose of pop music—to make listeners feel better about themselves, to entertain them, and to glorify the joys of sex and romantic love—and instead to use it to challenge his listeners' preconceptions and orthodoxies by unsettling and provoking them, which he has done from day one until today. Bono, the singer of the Irish rock band U2 and himself a strong believer in a type of Christianity with ancestral Jewish roots, understands this about Dylan. "[Dylan's] was always a unique critique of modernity," he writes. "Because in fact Dylan comes from an ancient place, almost medieval…. The anachronism, really, is the'60s. For the rest of his life he's been howling from some sort of past that we seem to have forgotten but must not…"
Thus, in the pages that follow, in addition to recounting the basic biographical arc of his life and career and discussing the musical and creative achievements that have led him to be widely considered as one of the greatest, most influential artists of the last half century, I hope to illuminate Dylan's life and work by revisiting them in a context that has until now been minimized or overlooked by biographers and critics. Bob Dylan didn't just spring from nowhere. Some have done a good job exploring Dylan's immediate roots in Hibbing, but few have spent more than a few lines bothering to dig deeper into the unique sociocultural context in which Dylan was raised. Nor have any chroniclers deemed it fit (or been properly equipped) to place Dylan's unique approach toward his art in the greater context of Jewish culture and history, especially given how so much of his work regards the spiritual aspects of existence and is strewn with quotations, paraphrases, allusions, and themes drawn from normative Judaism, and given how his transformational approach echoes that of artists, poets, seers, and prophets going back hundreds and thousands of years in Jewish history. Nor have any traced this strain in his work as a continuous, unbroken chain throughout his life and career, in order to show how Dylan has, consciously or not, chosen in large part to use the prophetic mode of discourse as his primary mode, or at least one of his primary modes, of communication, determining how he shapes his narratives and addresses his audience, as well as the themes and subject matter of so many of his songs.
None of this is meant to suggest the exclusion of other significant strains of interpretation or context for Dylan's work. Dylan has been essentially influenced by American folk, blues, country, pop, and early rock'n' roll music, and by individual artists (for example, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry) and songs from those genres. Dylan's songs are full of allusions to, quotations of, and themes from old folk and blues songs. Dylan has been significantly influenced by great poetry and literature—one need look no further than Christopher Ricks's magnificent book, Dylan's Visions of Sin, which has a lot more to say about Dylan-as-poet than it does about Dylan's so-called visions of sin but nevertheless does so masterfully—and even by popular literature, as was shown when several lines from a song on the 2001 album "Love and Theft" were traced to an obscure Japanese yakuza novel. Even Hollywood has provided Dylan with material and inspiration—entire songs have been composed in large part of choice bits of movie dialogue.
And as much as I do believe that a complete understanding of Dylan's work is impossible without a recognition of the debt it owes to Judaism—and the way in which it engages Jewish themes and thought in a process akin to midrash, the elaboration upon Jewish scripture as a form of commentary—I recognize fully that his complete oeuvre can also be read in large part as:
1)a reckoning with various loves and losses, most notably his relationship with his wife, Sara, before, during, and after their marriage,2)a commentary on topical concerns of American society and politics (although this strain in his work has been unduly overemphasized to the detriment of the others), and/or3)a meditation on identity, with various characters and narrators that come to the forefront and disappear, and an obsession with the theme of the mask, from his early obsession with Woody Guthrie at least through his aptly titled 2003 film, Masked and Anonymous.
And, one could argue—and several authors have—that some of Dylan's work suggests a struggle or identification with a personal relationship with Jesus (as I hope to show, one that is at least subsumed by and doesn't discount his primary relationship with his Jewishness).
Certainly, some of Dylan's most overtly theological songs were the gospel songs he recorded between 1979 and 1981. Nevertheless, in 1982, Dylan's son Samuel became bar mitzvah, and by 1983, when Dylan was reportedly hanging out with Orthodox rabbis in Brooklyn and Israel, overtly Jewish themes colored the songs on the album Infidels, the sleeve of which featured a photograph of Dylan overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem, taken on a visit earlier that year for his son Jesse's bar mitzvah. The song "Neighbor-hood Bully"—a drippingly sarcastic overview of Jewish history and persecution through the lens of contemporary Zionism—evinced a strongly nationalistic identification with Jewish peoplehood. The songs "Jokerman" and "I and I," too, revealed a mind once again inspired by the Jewish Bible.
Over the ensuing decade, Dylan made several appearances on telethons for Chabad, in one calling the Orthodox Jewish outreach movement his "favorite organization." During this time, he made several more visits to Israel; he opened a shopping complex in Santa Monica replete with an office, a coffeehouse, a gymnasium, and a synagogue; and he saw his daughter, Maria, marry and begin raising a family with the Orthodox Jewish singer-songwriter Peter Himmelman.
In that postgospel period, Dylan's songs continued to reflect a mind steeped in a Jewish worldview: on Oh Mercy, "Everything Is Broken" portrays the Kabbalistic concept of a world in a state of disrepair, and "Political World" includes a vivid description of Kiddush HaShem, the religiously inspired martyrdom of those who were dying in Auschwitz around the time Dylan was born. And when Dylan garnered a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards in 1991, the focus of his acceptance speech was an inscrutable passage that astute listeners recognized as a paraphrase of psalm 27, an essential prayer inextricably tied to the acts of repentance and return that are the themes of the liturgy of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the holiest days of the Jewish year.
Dylan has apparently continued to find inspiration in Jewish scripture in recent years. In "Not Dark Yet," on his 1997 Grammy Award–winning album, Time Out of Mind, Dylan sings, "I was born here and I'll die here against my will," paraphrasing Pirkei Avot (Sayings of the Fathers, from the Mishnah4:29): "Against your will you were born, against your will you die." And that album's opening track, "Love Sick," borrows its unusual central complaint from King Solomon's love poetry as expressed in Song of Songs 2:7: "[Bereft of your presence], I am sick with love" or, to put it more succinctly, as does Dylan, "I'm sick of love… I'm love sick."
Also in recent years, Dylan has been spotted annually at Yom Kippur services—typically at whatever Chabad (an Orthodox Hasidic sect) synagogue he finds himself nearest to as he constantly tours the country. A few years ago, at Congregation Adath Israel, in St. Paul, Minnesota, he is said to have received the third aliyah to the Torah—an honor providing an individual blessing—and to have returned in the evening for the concluding Neilah service, whose central imagery is of a penitent standing at a gate or doorway, entreating G-d's mercy to be written into the Book of Life before the doors are shut and barred, an experience Dylan put into song on Time Out of Mind's "Tryin' to Get to Heaven":
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
I've been walking that lonesome valley
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door.
It's imperative that one consider the Jewish nature of so much of Dylan's life and work in order to appreciate it fully and to its truest and greatest extent. In some small but significant way, this book will add to that understanding and appreciation of Dylan's work by telling the story of his life and work with reference to how Judaism influenced and shaped both.

In Bob Dylan: Prophet, Mystic, Poet, Seth Rogovoy, an award-winning critic and expert on Jewish music, rectifies that oversight, presenting a fascinating new look at one of the most celebrated musicians of all time. Rogovoy unearths the various strands of Judaism that appear throughout Bob Dylan's songs, revealing the ways in which Dylan walks in the footsteps of the Jewish Prophets. Rogovoy explains the profound depth of Jewish content—drawn from the Bible, the Talmud, and the Kabbalah—at the heart of Dylan's music, and demonstrates how his songs can only be fully appreciated in light of Dylan's relationship to Judaism and the Jewish themes that inform them. From his childhood growing up the son of Abe and Beatty Zimmerman, who were at the center of the small Jewish community in his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to his frequent visits to Israel and involvement with the Orthodox Jewish outreach movement Chabad, Judaism has permeated Dylan's everyday life and work. Early songs like "Blowin' in the Wind" derive central imagery from passages in the books of Ezekiel and Isaiah; mid-career numbers like "Forever Young" are infused with themes from the Bible, Jewish liturgy, and Kabbalah; while late-period efforts have revealed a mind shaped by Jewish concepts of Creation and redemption. In this context, even Dylan's so-called born-again period is seen as a logical, almost inevitable development in his growth as a man and artist wrestling with the burden and inheritance of the Jewish prophetic tradition. Bob Dylan: Prophet, Mystic, Poet is a fresh and illuminating look at one of America's most renowned—and one of its most enigmatic—talents.

Local Hookups
I've had sex with maybe 6 girls in my lifetime. Six girls in my whole life – it's not something I'm proud of. At my age, I should be at least in the 20′s by now. So as you can probably guess, I'm not exactly a ladies man or somebody that's comfortable trying to get girls to have sex with me. It's a little difficult for me to even meet women on my own. That's why I love local hookups.
I logged in after being on the site for over 3 weeks and still hadn't contacted anybody myself. I"m shy, what can you do? I checked my inbox and had an email. Whoa… I haven't even contacted anybody yet because I was a little nervous and decided to take my time. But this girl had contacted ME! I looked through her profile a bit and wasn't impressed with the visual. She only had one pic and it was really small. So small that I thought she might be hiding something. But the rest of her profile looked great.
In her email, she says that she likes my pictures and thought we might have something in common. Something in common? Yeah, I can't get sex. I seriously doubt she has that problem. Even fat girls can get laid anytime they want. Girls just have it easy that way.
I was interested but needed to see more pics of her because I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. You know how that is… tiny pics aren't good. I asked her to send me some more pics. She replied with 3 shots of her face and one full body picture. Ok, she's hot! I'm definitely interested now.
I asked her if she wanted to meet up for drinks. She responded with exactly this: Drinks? Isn't this a hookup site

Invisible to the naked eye, astronomers are convinced they exist. The concept of "black holes," tears in the fabric of space-time that pull in everything that comes too close to them. In astronomical terms, this means that everything sucked in can never escape - not even light. Scientists now believe they have found features of these types of phenomena in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Some of the largest ocean eddies in this region are the mathematical equivalent to the mysterious black holes of space.
According to researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Miami, this means that they do the same thing with water, that black holes do with light. So tightly surrounded by circular water paths, nothing caught up in these eddies can ever escape. Furthermore, their numbers are reportedly on the rise in the Southern Ocean, increasing the northward transport of warm and salty water.

I'm proud to announce the publication, by Sher Music, of my book "Playing For Singers".
It's a "how-to" book, for the jazz and cabaret piano player I've spent most of my piano playing career as an accompanist, and it's time to share some of the knowledge I've gleaned from toiling all those years in the trenches of nightclub/concert milieu.
The musical techniques that this career demands have rarely been written about, and so this is an attempt to fill that gap. It's a practical guide to the many secrets of the accompanist's art.
Mike brings his many years of accompanying experience to bear in exploring, in detail, the in's and out's of the accompanist's art as it applies to the performance of the "Great American Songbook".
