The BioSync Team's curator insight, February 5, 2014 7:23 PM
From the article: Be unapologetic in your positivity even in the face of dire circumstances. Even when it seems that there is no way out, insist that there is one and that you just cannot see it at that moment. Though you may not have an answer now, be secure in the knowledge that there is an answer to every question you can ask. You may need to develop patience to wait out periods of "darkness". Know that the light always comes.

Jeremy Dean, author of "Making Habits, Breaking Habits: How to Make Changes That Stick", explores the multiple benefits of meditation spilling over into everyday life.
Shalini VadheraPotts's curator insight, November 20, 2013 1:11 PM
Through my own personal growth and search to find balance, a day doesn't go by that I'm told to meditate. There are so many ways to do meditation and even more benefits. My latest practice is a walking meditation where I repeat a mantra while walking through nature. I love it and the affects it has on my overall well being are amazing.
Here are some more reason why you just need to meditate!

The BioSync Team's curator insight, May 22, 2014 9:33 PM
FROM THE ARTICLE: But I have a bias for being able to practice mindfulness all day ... and over time there is no distinction between your formal practice and making a presentation, negotiating a deal, driving your car, working out, or playing a round of golf.

Instead of watching or doing non-sense things, doing this can have significant positive impact on life.
Brendan Wilde's curator insight, October 21, 2013 3:00 PM
Scientists have shown how #meditation makes the brain bigger and better. They mapped the brain function of Tibetan lamas trained in concentration and mental control and found higher levels of gamma brain waves and thicker brain cortexes (the areas associated with higher brain function) in meditators.
The BioSync Team's curator insight, November 13, 2013 10:18 AM
You simply have to learn how to work with your body, rather than against it. Then you can have a healthy, thriving life — and live out your full lifespan, which can be as high as 120+ years!

Russia to resume space tourism in 2018
Russia officials say they will resume space tourism in 2018 after years of sending into space only professional cosmonauts and astronauts.
Russia officials say they will resume space tourism in 2018 after years of sending into space only professional cosmonauts and astronauts.
British business magnate Richard Branson hopes to launch a vessel into space within the next 12 months, kicking off an era of commercial space travel.
SpaceX's Dragon cargo vessel smells like a new car, said astronauts at the International Space Station after opening the hatches Saturday following the spacecraft's landmark mission to the orbiting lab.
With three complicated spacewalks planned in the coming days, NASA is rushing to resolve a spacesuit problem linked to a 2013 emergency when water dangerously flooded a European astronaut's helmet.
While the United States and Russia traded sanctions this week in a burgeoning crisis over Crimea, astronauts from both nations rose above the discord in their sanctuary hundreds of miles from Earth.
SpaceX aims to propel modern rocket science into a brave new era Tuesday by landing a key part of its Falcon 9 rocket on a floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean.
The space shuttle passed into history Thursday, the words "wheels stop" crackling over the cockpit radio for the very last time.
(Phys.org)—Martin Sippel, project coordinator for the SpaceLiner project has announced that the German Aerospace Center believes it can plan, build and launch a suborbital craft capable of flying from Europe ...
A sleek, white gumdrop-shaped space capsule that aims to carry up to seven astronauts to the International Space Station and return to land anywhere on Earth was unveiled Thursday by SpaceX.
A NASA top official wrestled with what he thought was a hypothetical question: What should you tell the astronauts of a doomed space shuttle Columbia?
A private cargo ship built by Orbital Sciences Corporation is preparing to leave the International Space Station early Tuesday and burn up on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, NASA said Monday.
Engineers aborted the launch of a privately built spacecraft on a landmark mission to the International Space Station at the last second Saturday due to a rocket engine problem.
The first test flight of a commercial spacecraft to the International Space Station could happen in late March, NASA said on Thursday.
A company contracted by NASA to deliver supplies to the International Space Station successfully launched a rocket on Sunday in a test of its ability to send a cargo ship aloft.
Two spacewalking astronauts moved a construction crane outside the International Space Station on Thursday, a cumbersome job that took so long they scrapped hanging shields to protect against space junk. ...

Lili'uokalani Garden
On Banyan Drive, right next to the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, there is a quanit Japanese garden, dedicated to Queen Lili'uokalani, who loved gardens. This offered a nice, short stroll from the hotel (about all I could stand in my condition). Unfortunately for us, it had rained more than usual, and much of the park was washed out, not allowing us to visit the area with cute Japanese bridges and statuary.

The Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden in Hilo was very pretty, had all the usual trees, plants, water features, and bridges, that a garden of this type should have, but I felt it was just a little empty looking. I love Japanese Gardens, and have seen quite a few. With a little more work, this one has the potential to be one of the great ones.

I updated to 505 and tonight I noticed that a some of the timer bars no longer appear, particularly in ICC. Like the bar for the adds to respawn in Lady Deathwhisper. It was the same for the other people in raid who were using DXE. Known issue?
Passover Sep 16, 2010 at 23:08 UTC - 0 likes
I Switched to DXE a while back and now others are too in my guild but the Raid Icon markings conflict with DBM which the majority of raiders still use and as such many have learnt fights using DBM's Raid icon placement order - Skull, Cross, Square, Triangle, Moon, Circle, Star, Diamond (25man)
When you open up the config, click encounters then click on the Boss you want (Festurgut in this case) then click on the raid Icons tab, set the drop down box to the Spores - Just below this it says the Icon setting for Spores is Icons 6-8. DBM used Skull Cross Square - DXE used Circle, Star, Diamond - this caused some confusion on HC Fester :P A Quick fix for me was change the icons in the Alerts Panel to have icons 6-8 be Skull Cross Square (prev. they were 1,2,3) when doing Fester but that meant changing them back for Sindragosa whose icon settings use 1-6 Skull, Cross, Square, Triangle, Moon, Circle in DXE, the same pattern DBM uses.
Is it possible to change those Encounter Icon Settings somehow in DXE as it exists already or would that functionality need to be written in? I cant find anything. I.E. Make Festurgut Spore Settings use icons 1-3 (Or icons of choice) instead of 6-8 so i dont have to switch them each encounter?
Or would it be easier to allow the Encounter Advanced tab to allow you to set specifically what icons you want DXE to use for each specific encounter your doing?
Or am i stuck manually switching when doing those 2 Bosses whenever i Raid lead?

Ah, I see. I tried your suggestion and it worked - I'll narrow down the addon (it will take some time, but I can enable groups and work from there) and notify the correct people. Thanks.
Edit: After some testing, I concluded that Quartz was the issue. However, I disabled all addons except Quartz and DXE and it worked together just fine. My guess is that addons are interacting in some strange way, causing issues. All addons enabled except Quartz still works fine, though.Last edited Jul 24, 2010 by Brwmmice

Perhaps I've missed it, but is there any way to control when cooldowns move to the center bar? When this happens the alert/flash fires. It seems to occur at 5s for most cooldowns, but for some encounters that's almost an eternity. I did find that the text raid warning timer can be adjusted, to warn say 2s before a cooldown is up, but that does not fire an audible alert.

Why You Should Construct a New Parking Lot with Concrete, Not Asphalt
Several factors make concrete the superior choice over asphalt for your next parking lot installation project.
As concrete producers and suppliers, we at Razorback Concrete understand your need for an affordable and durable material that creates an effective end product. Most parking lots are made of either concrete or asphalt with varying results. While many business owners and developers rely on asphalt in construction today, there are so many more reasons why a concrete parking lot is the better choice.Read More
How to Protect Your Driveway from the Effects of Frost, Ice, and Snow
During the winter, your driveway suffers the abuse of ice, frost and snow. These elements can damage your driveway, requiring you to repair it or replace it in the spring.
When you understand how to protect your driveway from winter weather, you can prevent nature from wreaking so much havoc this season. It's important to take preventative measures when dealing with winter weather, because once the damage starts it can be too late and could prove too costly to repair.Read More
Common Concrete Problems: What Causes Them and How You Can Fix Them
Anticipating and preventing concrete problems and knowing how to fix damaged concrete save time, energy, and money in the long run.
'Concrete disasters' can be a relative term. If you are a homeowner, a pouring mistake or uneven curing is not a highly detrimental problem. However, if something during a bigger job goes wrong, anything from the subgrade being improperly prepared to a cold snap moving in during the curing process, then worse things can happen. A true concrete disaster could include injuries, lawsuits, property damage, contract breaches, and expensive repairs.
It helps to prepare as much as possible, including being familiar with the concrete product you are working with and the soil conditions where the work is taking place.Read More

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Harley-Davidson Servi-Car was a three-wheeled utility motorcycle manufactured by Harley-Davidson from 1932 to 1973.
The Servi-Car was designed during the Great Depression when Harley-Davidson was desperate to expand its product base to increase sales.[1] Targeted at the automotive service industry, the vehicle was designed to be towed behind a car to be delivered to a customer; when the car was delivered at its destination, the driver would unhitch the Servi-Car and ride back to the garage.[2][3] For this reason, it was available with a tow bar at the front and a large 60 Ah battery.[4]
In addition to its intended use for car delivery and retrieval, the Servi-Car was also popular as a utility vehicle for small businesses and mobile vendors. They proved to be particularly popular with the police departments, some of which still used Servi-Cars into the 1990s.[4]
The models offered in 1932, the first year of production were:
In 1933, the GDT, with large box and tow bar, was added to the line.[5]
In 1942, the small and large boxes were replaced with a standardized intermediate-sized box that was manufactured for Harley Davidson by the Chas. Abresch Co. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A gold, red, and black water transfer decal from this company was affixed to the top inside of the box lid.[citation needed] This box lasted until 1966, after which it was replaced by a fiberglass box; all preceding boxes were made from steel.[6]
The Servi-Car used variations of Harley-Davidson's 45 cubic inch flathead. From 1932 to 36, the Servi-Car used the engine from the solo R model.[1] It was changed in 1937 to the engine used in the W model, which differed mainly in having a recirculating oil system instead of the constant-loss system of the R.[4][7] The "W" flathead engine continued until the end of production in 1973, despite the "W" solo series being replaced by the "K" series in 1952.[4][8]
An electric starter became available on the Servi-Car in 1964, making it the first civilian Harley with an electric starter, one year before the debut of the Electra Glide.[4][9][10]
When the Servi-Car was introduced in 1932, it used the same transmission as the R solo model.[4] This was replaced the next year by a constant-mesh transmission with three speeds and a reverse gear.[11]
The Servi-Car was designed for the road conditions of the day, where surface roads might still be crude and unpaved. It had a rigid rear axle with a differential.[12] The rear axle had a track of 42 inches (1,100 mm), similar to the track of most available cars. This was done so that the vehicle could use the same tracks that had been made by regular cars.[3]
A prototype of the Servi-Car with rear suspension had been tested and was found to be unstable.[3] The production model had its axle mounted directly to the frame with no suspension at all.[13]
Until 1957, the front forks of the Servi-Car were the springer-type leading-link forks used on the R-series and W-series solo motorcycles. From 1958 on, the Servi-Car changed neck stem length and inner diameter to use Hydra-Glide front forks.[9]
As introduced, the Servi-Car had a drum brake on the front wheel and another drum brake inside the rear axle housing, decelerating both rear wheels.[11] In 1937, the braking system was upgraded to have a drum brake on each wheel.[14] A hydraulic rear brake system was introduced in 1951.[15] The very last Servi-Cars, built late in their last model year, would have disc brakes on all three wheels.[4]
|Wikimedia Commons has media related to Harley-Davidson Servi-Car.
The company also introduced the first of their three-wheeled Servi-Cars in 1932, powered by the 45-cid V-twin.
The Servi-Car earned its own brochure for 1934, where it was described as being 'the practical method for profitable pick-up and delivery of automobiles.'
Some suggested that it was inspired by Far East rickshaw-style machines; however, the Servi-Car was initially intended for the recovery of broken-down cars — hence the tow-bar and huge 60 amp/hour battery fitted as standard.

So Cal: SZ/Liebherr Service
We've bounced back and forth between SZ IT-36CIID and Liebherr HCB 2061.
I'd typed a much longer version but...
Someone told us the problem with the Liebherr in So Cal is that no one knows about them and service would be a problem. Given the problem we had in just trying to find out about buying one, that wasn't a stretch for us to believe.
Anyone in So Cal want to stand up for Liebherr?
So Cal with Liebherr for over a year, but fortunately have not needed service yet.
Love the fridge by the way! Very quiet, and the ice cubes are awesome :)
Purchased at Ren-Wes sales in Lake Forest
For service, they recommend Sunset Refrigeration in Irvine (949) 552-3351

Where in SoCal are you? That could make a big difference to finding it. Even though it's not the priciest brand, you can usually find it in the higher end showrooms. Maybe Pacific Sales?
You can always just call Liebherr and find out who sells and who services near you. Obviously, SZ has been well established in the area for at least five decades, and that's a point, but that shouldn't dissuade you from the alternative.
I live in LA. And I have had my Liebherr fridge for almost two years without any need for service but before I purchased I found these two certified Liebherr repair places before I purchased.

The salmon absorbs more teriyaki flavor as it sits, making it even better (and breakfast that much quicker) if done in advance.

Chocolate Torte with Calvados-Poached Figs
Poach the figs in Calvados until just softened: Overcooking or intense boiling will render them a tough instead of lush addition to this chocolate torte.

willing to buy ranunculus 'bulbs'!
I would love to try growing this amazing flower. I can't find a reputable seller on ebay and the websites that have a good reputation will not ship to where I live (Guam, USA). Does anyone have some tubers they're willing to sell to me? Thanks!
I'm curious...do your local plant supply stores not carry them? If you want to grow some in pots - look for/ask for 'Bloomingdale hybrids'. They are very double and look deliciously exotic!
They're suitable for zones 9-10 so you should be able to grow them with a bit of temperature management. (Ice cubes on the soil??)
BTW - check with your local stores - you might just be too early in asking. Try again in August and toward September.
Another off-beat possible is to ask on the Hawaiian Forum - although they are further north of the Equator than you are.
Good luck with your search.

EVEN life insurers, who follow the dictates of their mortality tables relentlessly, are beginning to change their minds about AIDS. Last month Guarantee Trust, an insurer based in Glenview, Illinois, launched a special policy aimed directly at HIV-positive customers.
Guarantee Trust is the first American company to offer normal life insurance to people with the infection (although some South African insurers started doing so last year). A few niche insurers in America had already been buying out the policies of people who were insured before acquiring the virus. To help such victims pay their medical and living expenses, so-called "viatical" insurers offer to pay them a lump sum in exchange for being named as the new beneficiary of the existing policy. Unlike ordinary life insurers, therefore, viatical insurers make higher profits if their customers die sooner.
Guarantee Trust, by contrast, is now betting that some HIV victims will live longer. Until a few years ago, most insurers considered this gamble hopeless. At the time, scientists assumed that everyone who contracted HIV would go on to develop AIDS and would die within ten years. Because the expected lifespans of such people were so short, insurers would have had to charge astronomical premiums to cover their risks.
Now that longitudinal studies have cast doubt on this view, Guarantee Trust, which specialises in insuring high-risk groups, has decided to target the HIV-positive as well. To make its risks manageable, the company uses several criteria to screen applicants. For one, the number of T cells (see article) in a patient's blood must never have fallen below 400 per microlitre—the point at which an HIV infection becomes defined as AIDS. Besides such basic medical tests, however, most of the company's screening techniques are aimed at capturing one crucial trait: whether the individual will fight back.
A patient must have been under consistent treatment for at least nine months, for example, before being considered for a policy. And those who acquired the virus through intravenous drug use are not eligible. Statistics suggest that the average intravenous drug user is much less likely to stick to a demanding health regimen over a long period than someone who has contracted the disease sexually.
By accepting only those applicants who are likely to stay on top of their condition, Guarantee Trust believes it can count on longer life expectancies than insurers previously thought possible—perhaps 15 years on average. This allows it to drop its premiums to a level that many people are willing to pay, though they are still far higher than normal. A 30-year-old male with no unusual health risks can get a $50,000 policy for a premium of around $35-40 a month; if he is HIV-positive, it will cost $310.
At the moment, the company is offering the new policy only in the state of Illinois. People seem interested; some have asked if they are allowed to fly into the state just to buy the policy. (The answer is No.) If the trial succeeds, the company plans to launch the policy across the whole of America. Other life insurers, who consider the company to be a leader in insuring high-risk groups, are watching carefully. Monty Edson, the vice-president handling the trial, says that HIV sufferers are being transformed "from leper status to the victims of just another chronic disease".

At a point when tax reform and regulatory relief are being discussed in Congress, the Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) is preparing for a Hike the Hill in May. Credit union leaders from Missouri will head to Washington, D.C. to talk with U.S. Senators and Representatives on May 22-23.
The Missouri Senate voted unanimously (33-0) in support of HB 478 on Tuesday, May 7. The bill modernizes the Missouri Credit Union Statute dealing with joint accounts.
When credit unions grow and prosper, so do their communities. And with so many people being burned by big corporations and big banks, it's the perfect time to show non-members the many advantages to choosing credit unions.
HB 478, a bill modernizing the Missouri Credit Union Statute dealing with joint accounts, took another step forward this week. After credit union representatives made calls to Committee Chairman Jay Wasson (R-District 20) and Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey (R-District 23) urging action, the bill was reported out of the Senate Financial Committee and placed on the Senate calendar during the late night hours on April 29.
Missouri U.S. Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer introduced a bill that would address regulatory burdens facing both credit unions and banks. H.R. 1750, the Community Lending Enhancement and Regulatory (CLEAR) Relief Act of 2013 was introduced on April 25.
"There are several provisions in this bill that are valuable to credit unions and their members," says Missouri Credit Union Association President/CEO Don Cohenour. "We look forward to working with Congressman Luetkemeyer and his fellow members of Congress to make sure those become law."
Last Friday, April 26, 2013, the Missouri Credit Union Association filed a comment letter with the Small Business Administration (SBA) in support of proposed changes to the agency's 504 and 7(a) Loan Programs.
By: Bill Cheney, President/CEO of the Credit Union National Association
Last week the American Bankers Association (ABA) had its member banks in Washington. This week it was the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA). The ICBA ran more ads critical of too-big-to-fail-banks. But we know their agenda also included credit unions' tax exemption and MBLs.
The Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) recently added new web and social media channels to support its advocacy efforts on behalf of credit unions in Missouri.
The Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) Regulatory Advocacy group continues to urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to provide flexibility to credit unions regarding two practices relating to covered mortgage-related insurance: adding a monthly charge for credit insurance premiums to the loan balance; and charging a fixed monthly fee for the credit insurance that does not decline as the loan balance decreases.

FCC's New Broadband Plan Prioritizes Competition 71
from the plan-of-the-man dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Didn't we do this in the 90's, throw a lot of money at the providers and all they did was give it out to the shareholders?
If we do this there had better be significant strings attached.
When you have an industry with high entry costs due to infrastructure needs, you are going to end up with only a few companies after the shakeout occurs. Therefore, any policy that is designed to enable consumer choice and universal access is only useful to create an environment where competition will briefly flourish before degrading to the same old 2 or 3 dominant companies own the entire market.
If the government truly wants to encourage competition, they would provide funding to under-performing companies and startups. This would lower the entry costs and provide a balance to the giants who would normally run roughshod over the smaller guys.
If the government truly wants to encourage competition, they would provide funding to under-performing companies and startups.
Wow. Give money to the companies that perform worst. You know, I'm sure that there's a flaw in that idea somewhere.
Didn't we do this in the 90's, throw a lot of money at the providers and all they did was give it out to the shareholders?
If we do this there had better be significant strings attached.
Whoa, whoa, that sounds like socialism. We'll have none of that.
Didn't we do this in the 90's?
Right...give them more money but this time put *strings* on it.
How about the kind of strings where we send every board member and executive, of any of these companies at any time since we gave them the money *last time*, a notice that they can install what we've already paid for or face federal fraud charges?
Seriously, I'm not usually a litigious, pseudo-populist dickwad, but a lawsuit or some criminal charges seem completely reasonable here.
And for fuck sake don't give them *more* money, unless you're okay with literally *training them*, like suggestible little puppy dogs, to defraud taxpayers.
If the government truly wants to encourage competition, they would provide funding to under-performing companies and startups.
Wow. Give money to the companies that perform worst. You know, I'm sure that there's a flaw in that idea somewhere.
There is. But that didn't stop the government from handing out free money to the banks did it?
Or just do what a government is supposed to do - build things like infrastructure, which are too big and expensive to be undertaken efficiently by multiple competing private interests.
That's not exactly what happened. The government paid these companies debts on their behalf. Not because they felt like being nice to the company, but because their debt holders would have ended up in serious financial trouble. Cascading financial failure was a serious possibility. This is bad. The credit market is the biggest market in the world.
Meanwhile, a year later, the companies are paying the debt back. While not all the debt has been paid back, does it really make sense to keep complaining about a move that saved the rest of the financial system?
IMO, If they want to truly encourage competition, they need to separate content providers from access providers. That will free up access providers to do what they should be doing best. Competing for business at the lowest rate possible. It would also remove some of the political bullshit and insane antics that new entry's in the market have to go through just to be able to drop a single line.
How long till your telco is bought out by one of the big ones and becomes the local monopoly with horrible rates and service?
Wow. Give money to the companies that perform worst.
Replace 'companies' with 'schools' and you've just described our public education system.
If they stuck to what they're supposed to be doing, and quit doing all this extra shit that's really not in anyone's interest, they'd be pretty fucking efficient.
Have you ever had a major problem with your water supply? How fast was it fixed? I'm willing to bet the government provides this utility. As it should be with roads, power, and net access and all critical infrastructure. Let the government lay the tubes and have it managed by a nonprofit organisation. This should include the last mile. This organisation should put excess income into a pot for future maintainance and upgrades. Have ISP's lease the bandwith and sell it to end users. Users can freely switch provides based on price and service level withouth worrying if wether the ISP operates in the area.
Competition drives innovation and provides consumer choice. Finding ways to better use existing assets, including Universal Service, rights-of-way, spectrum, and others, will be essential to the success of the plan. The limited government funding that is available for broadband would be best used when leveraged with the private sector.'
Blech. Sometimes free markets and competition are the best way to accomplish a social goal. Sometimes they aren't. In particular, rural and poor neighbourhoods, which would profit most from broadband and are most poorly served under the current system, and I don't see shovelling money at providers doing much for that goal. I'd rather see that money used to address the most poorly served areas of the country, and provide some public competition to private provider plans.
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
