Just let people know you are coming so you don't hit me or anyone else. Say, "Hey, I am coming past please."

Female sexual dysfunction: Mechanisms and models
01 / 2008 - unknown
Research number
Data Supplier

Aim of Project. The overall aim of the project is to develop an animal model in the female rat that reflects aspects of motivation (libido) and performance in sexual behavior and that are sensitive to pharmacological and hormonal manipulation Summary of research project. Female Sexual Disorders (FSD) affect a considerable percentage of women in Wsetern societies (see for review: Agmo et al. 2004a). One of the most prevalent of these disorders is 'Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (DSM-IV, 1995), characterized by 'persistently or recurrently deficient or absent sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity'. The animal research into models for sexual desire is extremely limited although some research groups seem to have started research into this area. Agmo (1999; 2003) developed a theory equating sexual incentive motivation in female rats as equivalent to sexual desire. Incentive motivation can be seen as the intensity of approach behaviors, thus the approach towards a sexual stimulus. In previous research we investigated whether hormonally primed (in behavioral estrus) female rats displayed sexual endophenotypes. We were able to show in female Wistar rats that some females had stable low incentive to visit sexually active males, whereas other either displayed moderate to very high incentives to such males. We hypothetize that the 'low motivated' females model human FSD whereas the other categories model normal to hypersexual behavior. Approach to the research aims. * The overall aim of the project is to develop animal models in the female rat that reflect aspects of motivation (libido) and performance and that are sensitive to pharmacological and hormonal manipulation * Key objective 1: develop endophenotypic female models in rats with regard to their sexual drive or motivation * Key objective 2: test several drugs, hormones and combinations in these endophenotypic females * Key objective 3: Which brain and spinal cord mechanisms modulate these (abnormal) mechanisms involved in FSD

Brittany Harrison has been awarded Gordon Hospital's prestigious Extra Mile Award.
This special award was created by members of the hospital's Employee Engagement Committee to recognize employees who go above and beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. It is awarded monthly to a deserving employee selected by the hospital's directors.
Harrison is employed as a Computerized Tomography (CT) Technologist with the hospital's Radiology Department.
"During our recent CT project, Brittany did an outstanding job not only as a lead CT technologist, but also as a patient advocate," says Radiology Department Director Raina Sanford, MBA, CRA, RT (R)(M), RDMS, RVT. "Even under a lot of stress she remained very professional and kind to all our patients. Every patient she interacted with was very complimentary of her care and told me how sweet she was to them. She really worked hard to make the best of a difficult situation and to make sure our patients had the best care possible. She is an asset to our hospital and I am very proud to have her as an employee."
Harrison, who has been employed by Gordon Hospital for seven years, says she is extremely excited to receive the award.
"It is truly a blessing to work with such a great group of people and for a hospital that genuinely cares about its employees," she says. "It is an honor to receive this award and definitely makes my work much more enjoyable."
Harrison earned a Bachelor's Degree in Radiologic Sciences from Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences. She and her husband, Will Harrison, reside in Calhoun. During her spare time, Harrison enjoys running, traveling, and spending time with her friends and family.

Modernity Disavowed: Haiti and the Cultures of Slavery in the Age of Revolutionby Sibylle Fischer
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Modernity Disavowed is a pathbreaking study of the cultural, political, and philosophical significance of the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). Revealing how the radical antislavery politics of this seminal event have been suppressed and ignored in historical and cultural records over the past two hundred years, Sibylle Fischer contends that revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal are central to the formation and understanding of Western modernity. She develops a powerful argument that the denial of revolutionary antislavery eventually became a crucial ingredient in a range of hegemonic thought, including Creole nationalism in the Caribbean and G. W. F. Hegel's master-slave dialectic. Fischer draws on history, literary scholarship, political theory, philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory to examine a range of material, including Haitian political and legal documents and nineteenth-century Cuban and Dominican literature and art. She demonstrates that at a time when racial taxonomies were beginning to mutate into scientific racism and racist biology, the Haitian revolutionaries recognized the question of race as political. Yet, as the cultural records of neighboring Cuba and the Dominican Republic show, the story of the Haitian Revolution has been told as one outside politics and beyond human language, as a tale of barbarism and unspeakable violence. From the time of the revolution onward, the story has been confined to the margins of history: to rumors, oral histories, and confidential letters. Fischer maintains that without accounting for revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal, Western modernity—including its hierarchy of values, depoliticization of social goals having to do with racial differences, and privileging of claims of national sovereignty—cannot be fully understood. Synopsis:A study of the ways that knowledge of the slave revolt in Haiti was denied/repressed/disavowed within the network of slave-owning states and plantation societies of the New World, and the effects and meaning of this disavowal.

From the Kean University web site:
Senior defender Julie Knodt was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Kean University field hockey team to a pair of shutout wins and adding two goals against Ramapo College on Saturday.
Knodt, a Lenape High School graduate, helped lead the Kean defensive corps to a 2-0 shutout victory over FDU-Florham last Tuesday.
Three days later, Knodt scored the first two goals –and therefore the game-winner – in Kean's 6-0 victory over Ramapo. Knodt and the Cougar defense did not allow a single shot in Saturday's contest with their NJAC rivals.
Knodt currently ranks tied for first in the NJAC with four game-winning goals and has seven overall this season. She was previously honored as the NJAC Player of the Week on September 16.
The Cougars have now won a total of five NJAC Player of the Week Awards this year.
Kean was scheduled to open up a four-game road trip on Tuesday night at Keystone College at 7 p.m.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
By Carol Jones
The office of the future should be adaptable and support its occupants, enabling them to keep pace with the speed of business.
Imagine changing your socks once every 14 days ... putting on a clean shirt every 90 days, or donning fresh pants once a year. Not only would the odor emanating from your cubicle drive others away, you would be quickly ostracized as a stagnated soul.
Yet, when you consider the speed of technological advancements, corporate organizational transformations and facility modifications, a similar scenario occurs regarding change in most office settings. Technology appreciably changes every 18 months, while most major corporations undergo substantive business change every three years. The work environment fundamentally changes only once every 10 years, typically coinciding with a lease expiry. Adding fuel to the fire, an entire new generation enters the workforce every 15 to 20 years, and base building revitalization occurs about every 40 years.
A facility, composed of people, places, processes and technology, must work in harmony in order for a business to function at peak levels. We now know that this alignment occurs about as often as the sun, moon, stars and planets align. One simply needs to consider the "speed of change" and pace differential between these elements to realize that today's facility designs cannot keep up and quickly wear out to the point of inhibiting business performance.
Traditionally, facilities are designed for a snapshot in time of an organization. That "photograph" may be taken a full 24 months (or more) before the renovation is completed. Often, employees inhabit office spaces designed for what the company looked like two years ago! The physical office quickly becomes outdated, yet is too costly and would likely cause too much disruption to change. Quite simply, current workplace design fails to keep pace with business change.
When we say, "sustainable workplace," visions of environmentally-appropriate materials-recycled carpet and energy efficient lighting may come to mind-all move in the right direction to my way of thinking. However, I also challenge us to consider a sustainable workplace as one that wears in, not out. I envision a workplace that maintains an ecological and environmental balance with the elements that it was designed to support.
The sustainably designed workplace provides places for individual and collaborative work; and it contains areas for refreshment, entertainment, social interaction, knowledge creation and dissemination. It is composed of a series of systems and networks: information, communication, knowledge and social. A workplace ambiance reflects the corporate brand; the workforce comprises people representing a number of distinct business activities under the brand umbrella. The physical work environment is transformable-able to morph in its physical characteristics and emotional experience. It can accommodate any work style preference while the envelope can support a population density that can vary by 50 percent at any given time: This is the "office of the future."
One company that has strived to implement some of these concepts is Gravity Tank, a design strategy firm in Chicago. The organization needed to create a flexible layout for project teams that coagulate for months at a time. Groups of four or five employees cluster in semi-enclosed "bays" built from thick cardboard. The bays are easily reconfigured to suit the needs of each team. Gravity Tank also has lightweight cardboard dividers hanging from an overhead grid, making it easy to adapt workspaces to changing project team requirements.
Cisco Systems, the technology firm headquartered in San Jose, CA, converted its open office space into a flexible multi-functional environment where employees can park laptops wherever they want. They also added audio-privacy rooms, Internet phones and rolling furniture to support mobile workers. Google workers are assigned offices and desks arranged around a central atrium. Pool tables and kitchenettes stocked with snacks are located nearby to encourage conversation and interaction. Collapsible conference rooms are scattered throughout the office to provide private places to work on problems; a central staircase has electrical outlets built into the steps to serve as an informal meeting place ("Designing the 21st Century Cubicle," Business 2.0 Magazine).
Office furniture manufacturers have been leaders in creating sustainable workstation components. A few months ago, Steelcase's 100 percent recyclable Answer product line became the first workstation to win Cradle-to-Cradle certification. However, taking a lead from Gravity Tank, there is an opportunity to manufacture a more transitional, lightweight moveable partition that is 100 percent recyclable. Technology and wiring, which has inhibited physical facility changes in the past, may become a non-issue with more and more wireless office installations.
Creating enduring and sustainable work environments ... providing solutions for design problems we have not yet imagined for companies who will continue to grow, merge, change and transition into other organizations ... calls for interior designers who are trained to think beyond pre-conceived boundaries. This dynamic environment requires strategic thinkers-designers who are certified by education, experience and examination-to balance innovation with fiscal accountability and to help move the world of business forward with sustainable speed.

Does this sound like it fits the symptoms?
Add fuel or let it cool and all is fine.
Cold ambient temps and all is fine.
Hot ambient temps and it all happens faster.
Traffic, where radiator heat is soaked into fuel tank, all is worse.
Freeways, more airflow throught radiator so less absorbed into tank, runs better.
Get the idea?[/quote]
good assumptions , yes .......but mine began to fail with rain approaching brrrhh, and i was holding a constant speed for close to an hr of 140 ks per hr, yes real ks gps hooked up, to see the fuel consumption rate at this speed and for the fun factor, and also once the bike was switched off and then straight back on again it was fine for another 15 - 20 mins before slowly getting worse on a progressive downward scale,
It was a long day Coolgardie to Fremantle so by the end i was doing it on the move , as soon as i felt the bike becoming slack in the power i would
if i remember correct
turn off the key so every thing was dead and then turn it back on then hit the starter with the clutch pulled in, down a gear to fourth or fivth and away she'd go again. 500 odd ks of this and i was home, not before stopping at the pub in freo
for a well earned ale geez it was cold had to stop in Merrinden? for a poncho.
I am hoping that there are'nt any spooks in the fuel pump maybe im just unlucky and i bet im not the only one hopeing that but , i rekon there is a suspect issue with them as a few people seem to have had similar issues. Time will tell .

The coolest (hottest?) 100th blog ever: there's a fire across from me and Im blogging
, 18th May 2009 at 07:35 PM (362 Views)
So today, I was going to post a blog along the lines of "what kind of lifeless fucknut would be lame enough to post 100 blogs on a niche site?!" then go "oh wait". But one better was delivered to me! There's a fire...RIGHT THE FUCK ACROSS FROM ME!
And yet, here I am at my computer, blogging about it. That's coming from the man who's fears getting struck by lightning through a window, too. Yet I laugh in the face of fire. Not the most original thing to do (see: bash.org), but now I can join those illustrious ranks. Make of that as you will (if you can make anything of it except I'm fucking insane). I even took pictures (not from my room specifically, because the tree is in the way, but it is indeed right across).
Turned out cleared than I thought it would, considering there was a window in the way. The tree blocked most of the ones, though, but these two turned out great in that the fire is clearly visible. The second one is notable. Not for my hand and camera (though if you could see more, you'd see my nigh-twisted smile I had on that might make you think I set it), but for the smoke in the bottom left section. It's barely visible through the dark part. If the wind was blowing straight at me, I'd be pretty fucked right about now, but fortunately, it was blowing off to the side (it eventually did shift toward me, but I didn't care).
Making matters even worse is that not only said tree a lovely way for the fire to jump across from over there to here, but there's also a gas line outside which could potentially explode and kill me! So why am I here instead of packing my shit and heading for safety? I have no idea. I did get ready to go (very calmly, like "just in case" halfassed calmly), but I didn't actually go. Oh yeah, and I took off my shirt because it was getting hot. Though it was hot to begin with in my room, so let's not give the fire TOO much credit.
Oh, and it's out now. I had to go take a casual shit in the middle of typing this (I guess I was shitting on it there), and when I came back, the fire was out. More pictures were taken at this point...
You can see the firefighter's ladder there, and the lack of smoke and fire. Now here's a few more mysteries to ponder.
- I actually smelled the fire in its early stages. My window was open and I smelled something funny, but I passed it off as a smoker or a barbecue and closed my window. Well, I was right about it being a barbecue.
- The fire alarm went off, but I again passed it off as nothing, as the fire alarm seems to go off about once a month at that apartment with no fire accompanying it.
- When the light in that apartment's patio is on, if the tree has no leaves, a shadow that looks remarkably similar to the wiccan star is cast on my closet door. Huge coincidence? Yeah, I'd say so too.
- No one actually lives in that apartment anymore, or so I've heard. The person who was living in it sold it yesterday. So why was the barbecue there and turned on?
And there you have it. Instead of being a lifeless fucknut lame enough to sit here and type at least one blog a day since I started (except for that day the tech guys failed, aka April 6th), I'm the guy who sat here and blogged about a fire that could've killed him at any time. At least no one can argue I've got balls for doing it.

ESSAY XOF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL1By the mere light of reason it seems difficult to prove the Immortality of the Soul. The arguments for it are commonly derived either from metaphysical topics, or moral or physical. But in reality, it is the gospel, and the gospel alone, that has brought life and immortality to light. I. Metaphysical topics are founded on the supposition that the soul is immaterial, and that it is impossible for thought to belong to a material substance. But just metaphysics teach us, that the notion of substance is wholly confused and imperfect, and that we have no other idea of any substance than as an aggregate of particular qualities, inhering in an unknown something. Matter, therefore, and spirit are at bottom equally unknown; and we cannot determine what qualities may inhere in the one or in the other. They likewise teach us, that nothing can be decided a priori concerning any cause or effect; and that experience being the only source of our judgments of this nature, we cannot know from any other principle, whether matter, by its structure or arrangement, may not be the cause of thought. Abstract reasonings cannot decide any question of fact or existence.2 But admitting a spiritual substance to be dispersed throughout the universe, like the etherial fire of the Stoics, and to be the only inherent subject of thought; we have reason to conclude from analogy, that nature uses it after the same manner she does the other substance, matter. She employs it as a kind of paste or clay; modifies it into a variety of forms and existences; dissolves after a time each modification; and from it's substance erects a new form. As the same material substance may successively compose the body of all animals, the same spiritual substance may compose their minds: Their consciousness, or that system of thought, which they formed during life, may be continually dissolved by death; and nothing interest them in the new modification. The most positive asserters of the mortality of the soul, never denied the immortality of its substance. And that an immaterial substance, as well as a material, may lose its memory or consciousness appears, in part, from experience, if the soul be immaterial. Reasoning from the common course of nature, and without supposing any new interposition of the supreme cause, which ought always to be excluded from philosophy; what is incorruptible must also be ingenerable. The soul, therefore, if immortal, existed before our birth: And if the former state of existence no wise concerned us, neither will the latter. Animals undoubtedly feel, think, love, hate, will, and even reason, tho' in a more imperfect manner than man. Are their souls also immaterial and immortal? II. Let us now consider the moral arguments, chiefly those arguments derived from the justice of God, which is supposed to be farther interested in the farther punishment of the vicious, and reward of the virtuous. But these arguments are grounded on the supposition, that God has attributes beyond what he has exerted in this universe, with which alone we are acquainted. Whence do we infer the existence of these attributes? It is very safe for us to affirm, that, whatever we know the deity to have actually done, is best; but it is very dangerous to affirm, that he must always do what to us seems best. In how many instances would this reasoning fail us with regard to the present world? But if any purpose of nature be clear, we may affirm, that the whole scope and intention of man's creation, so far as we can judge by natural reason, is limited to the present life. With how weak a concern, from the original, inherent structure of the mind and passions, does he ever look farther? What comparison, either for steddiness or efficacy, between so floating an idea, and the most doubtful persuasion of any matter of fact, that occurs in common life. There arise, indeed, in some minds, some unaccountable terrors with regard to futurity: But these would quickly vanish, were they not artificially fostered by precept and education. And those, who foster them; what is their motive? Only to gain a livelihood, and to acquire power and riches in this world. Their very zeal and industry, therefore, are an argument against them. What cruelty, what iniquity, what injustice in nature, to confine thus all our concern, as well as all our knowledge, to the present life, if there be another scene still awaiting us, of infinitely greater consequence? Ought this barbarous deceit to be ascribed to a beneficent and wise being? Observe with what exact proportion the task to be performed and the performing powers are adjusted throughout all nature. If the reason of man gives him a great superiority above other animals, his necessities are proportionably multiplied upon him. His whole time, his whole capacity, activity, courage, passion, find sufficient employment, in fencing against the miseries of his present condition. And frequently, nay almost always, are too slender for the business assigned them. A pair of shoes, perhaps, was never yet wrought to the highest degree of perfection, which that commodity is capable of attaining. Yet is it necessary, at least very useful, that there should be some politicians and moralists, even some geometers, historians, poets, and philosophers among mankind. The powers of men are no more superior to their wants, considered merely in this life, than those of foxes and hares are, compared to their wants and to their period of existence. The inference from parity of reason is therefore obvious. On the theory of the soul's mortality, the inferiority of women's capacity is easily accounted for: Their domestic life requires no higher faculties either of mind or body. This circumstance vanishes and becomes absolutely insignificant, on the religious theory: The one sex has an equal task to perform with the other: Their powers of reason and resolution ought also to have been equal, and both of them infinitely greater than at present. As every effect implies a cause, and that another, till we reach the first cause of all, which is the Deity; every thing, that happens, is ordained by him; and nothing can be the object of his punishment or vengeance. By what rule are punishments and rewards distributed? What is the divine standard of merit and demerit? Shall we suppose, that human sentiments have place in the deity? However bold that hypothesis, we have no conception of any other sentiments. According to human sentiments, sense, courage, good manners, industry, prudence, genius, &c. are essential parts of personal merit. Shall we therefore erect an elysium for poets and heroes, like that of the antient mythology?3 Why confine all rewards to one species of virtue? Punishment, without any proper end or purpose, is inconsistent with our ideas of goodness and justice; and no end can be served by it after the whole scene is closed. Punishment, according to our conceptions, should bear some proportion to the offence. Why then eternal punishment for the temporary offences of so frail a creature as man? Can any one approve of Alexander's rage, who intended to exterminate a whole nation, because they had seized his favourite horse, Bucephalus?4 Heaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and the bad. But the greatest part of mankind float between vice and virtue. Were one to go round the world with an intention of giving a good supper to the righteous and a sound drubbing to the wicked, he would frequently be embarrassed in his choice, and would find, that the merits and demerits of most men and women scarcely amount to the value of either. To suppose measures of approbation and blame, different from the human, confounds every thing. Whence do we learn, that there is such a thing as moral distinctions but from our own sentiments? What man, who has not met with personal provocation (or what good natur'd man who has) could inflict on crimes, from the sense of blame alone, even the common, legal, frivolous punishments? And does any thing steel the breast of judges and juries against the sentiments of humanity but reflections on necessity and public interest? By the Roman law, those who had been guilty of parricide and confessed their crime, were put into a sack, along with an ape, a dog, and a serpent; and thrown into the river: Death alone was the punishment of those, who denied their guilt, however fully proved. A criminal was tryed before Augustus, and condemned after full conviction: But the humane emperor, when he put the last interrogatory, gave it such a turn as to lead the wretch into a denial of his guilt. You surely, said the prince, did not kill your father.5 This lenity suits our natural ideas of RIGHT, even towards the greatest of all criminals, and even tho' it prevents so inconsiderable a sufferance. Nay, even the most bigotted priest would naturally, without reflection, approve of it; provided the crime was not heresy or infidelity. For as these crimes hurt himself in his temporal interests and advantages; perhaps he may not be altogether so indulgent to them. The chief source of moral ideas is the reflection on the interests of human society. Ought these interests, so short, so frivolous, to be guarded by punishments, eternal and infinite? The damnation of one man is an infinitely greater evil in the universe, than the subversion of a thousand million of kingdoms. Nature has rendered human infancy peculiarly frail and mortal; as it were on purpose to refute the notion of a probationary state. The half of mankind dye before they are rational creatures. III. The physical arguments from the analogy of nature are strong for the mortality of the soul; and these are really the only philosophical arguments, which ought to be admitted with regard to this question, or indeed any question of fact. Where any two objects are so closely connected, that all alterations, which we have ever seen in the one, are attended with proportionable alterations in the other; we ought to conclude, by all rules of analogy, that, when there are still greater alterations produced in the former, and it is totally dissolved, there follows a total dissolution of the latter. Sleep, a very small effect on the body, is attended with a temporary extinction; at least, a great confusion in the soul. The weakness of the body and that of the mind in infancy are exactly proportioned; their vigor in manhood; their sympathetic disorder in sickness; their common gradual decay in old age. The step farther seems unavoidable; their common dissolution in death. The last symptoms, which the mind discovers, are disorder, weakness, insensibility, stupidity, the forerunners of its annihilation. The farther progress of the same causes, encreasing the same effects, totally extinguish it. Judging by the usual analogy of nature, no form can continue, when transferred to a condition of life very different from the original one, in which it was placed. Trees perish in the water; fishes in the air; animals in the earth. Even so small a difference as that of climate is often fatal. What reason then to imagine, that an immense alteration, such as is made on the soul by the dissolution of its body and all its organs of thought and sensation, can be effected without the dissolution of the whole? Every thing is in common between soul and body. The organs of the one are all of them the organs of the other. The existence therefore of the one must be dependent on that of the other. The souls of animals are allowed to be mortal; and these bear so near a resemblance to the souls of men, that the analogy from one to the other forms a very strong argument. Their bodies are not more resembling; yet no one rejects the arguments drawn from comparative anatomy. The Metempsychosis is therefore the only system of this kind, that philosophy can so much as hearken to.6 Nothing in this world is perpetual. Every being, however seemingly firm, is in continual flux and change: The world itself gives symptoms of frailty and dissolution: How contrary to analogy, therefore, to imagine, that one single form, seemingly the frailest of any, and from the slightest causes, subject, to the greatest disorders, is immortal and indissoluble? What a daring theory is that! How lightly, not to say, how rashly entertained! How to dispose of the infinite number of posthumous existences ought also to embarrass the religious theory. Every planet, in every solar system, we are at liberty to imagine peopled with intelligent, mortal beings: At least, we can fix on no other supposition. For these, then, a new universe must, every generation, be created, beyond the bounds of the present universe; or one must have been created at first so prodigiously wide as to admit of this continual influx of beings. Ought such bold suppositions to be received by any philosophy; and that merely on pretence of a bare possibility? When it is asked, whether Agamemnon, Thersites, Hannibal, Nero, and every stupid clown, that ever existed in Italy, Scythia, Bactria, or Guinea, are now alive; can any man think, that a scrutiny of nature will furnish arguments strong enough to answer so strange a question in the affirmative? The want of arguments, without revelation, sufficiently establishes the negative. Quanto facilius, says Pliny,7certiusque sibi quemque credere, ac specimen securitatis antigenitali sumere experimento. Our insensibility, before the composition of the body, seems to natural reason a proof of a like state after its dissolution. Were our horror of annihilation an original passion, not the effect of our general love of happiness, it would rather prove the mortality of the soul. For as nature does nothing in vain, she would never give us a horror against an impossible event. She may give us a horror against an unavoidable event, provided our endeavours, as in the present case, may often remove it to some distance. Death is in the end unavoidable; yet the human species could not be preserved, had not nature inspired us with an aversion towards it. All doctrines are to be suspected, which are favoured by our passions. And the hopes and fears which give rise to this doctrine, are very obvious. It is an infinite advantage in every controversy, to defend the negative. If the question be out of the common experienced course of nature, this circumstance is almost, if not altogether, decisive. By what arguments or analogies can we prove any state of existence, which no one ever saw, and which no wise resembles any that ever was seen? Who will repose such trust in any pretended philosophy, as to admit upon its testimony the reality of so marvellous a scene? Some new species of logic is requisite for that purpose; and some new faculties of the mind, which may enable us to comprehend that logic. Nothing could set in a fuller light the infinite obligations, which mankind have to divine revelation; since we find, that no other medium could ascertain this great and important truth. VARIANT READINGSHume revised his essays continually throughout his lifetime, and there are many significant differences between earlier editions of the essays and the 1777 edition, which was corrected by Hume shortly before his death. The principal variations of earlier editions are recorded by T. H. Green and T. H. Grose in their edition of the Essays, Moral, Political, and Literary (1874, and after). The variations printed below are taken from Green and Grose, New Edition (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1889). The reader should keep in mind that Green and Grose do not consider all relevant editions of the essays and that their listing of variants is deficient in other ways as well. Also, editions E, F, and G are not part of the genealogy of the Essays, Moral, Political, and Literary. Superscript letters in the present text indicate where the variations occur. Green and Grose identify the editions of Hume's essays by letter, as follows:
[1. ][For an account of the history of this essay, see "Of Suicide," fn. 1. The present text of "Of the Immortality of the Soul" is printed, by permission, from a proof-copy of the unpublished, 1755 version of the essay that is owned by the National Library of Scotland. This proof-copy has twenty corrections in Hume's own hand. The posthumous, 1777 edition of the essay fails to make these corrections, and it departs from the earlier printed version in paragraphing, punctuation, capitalization, and, on occasion, wording. Green and Grose printed their version of "Of the Immortality of the Soul" from proof-sheets of the 1755 version that were once in the possession of the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, but are now lost. The proof-copy used by Green and Grose did not have the corrections that appear on the one used for the present edition. Moreover, Green and Grose depart in important ways from the text printed in 1755 or early 1756.] [2. ][These observations on the fictitious character of the notion of substance and on the impossibility of deciding questions of fact or existence by abstract reasoning are developed by Hume in the Treatise of Human Nature.] [3. ][Homer speaks of the Elysian Plain and Hesiod of the Isles of the Blessed as places to which those specially favored by the gods and exempted from death are transported. Later authors depict Elysium as the abode in Hades of the blessed dead.] [4. ]Quint. Curtius, lib. vi. cap. 5. [This section of the History of Alexander describes Alexander's defeat of the Mardi and the destruction of their fortifications. His anger was heightened by the capture of Bucephalus.] [5. ]Sueton. August. cap. 3. [6. ][The doctrine of metempsychosis, or reincarnation, holds that the soul of a human being or animal transmigrates at or after death into a new bodily form of the same or different species. This doctrine is associated especially with the philosopher Pythagoras and with various Eastern religions.] [7. ]Lib. vii. cap. 55. [Natural History 7.55 in the Loeb edition: " . . . how much easier and safer for each to trust in himself, and for us to derive our idea of future tranquillity from our experience of it before birth!" (Loeb translation by H. Rackham.) Futurae is added to the Latin text by Rackham. The context is Pliny's argument that neither body nor mind possesses any sensation after death, any more than it did before birth.] |

Once the GEDCOM file has been created and stored on your computer's hard drive(s), exit the genealogy program, launch Ged2Web, and tell it to open the GEDCOM file you just created. The result will be a set of HTML files that you can transfer to any web site you control.
Ged2Web should also work on a Macintosh that has Parallels, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox installed, along with a copy of Windows. However, I haven't tried that yet.
Quoting from the Ged2Web web site:
The program produces a view for each person consisting of an information summary including:Ged2Web is a free program although author Wade Oram suggests you may make a voluntary donation, should you wish to do so.The number of individuals per file can be set by the user to allow a balance to be set between the number of files generated and the size of each file.
- Links to parents.
- Birth date and location.
- Christening date and location
- Baptism date and location
- Occupation
- Address
- Residence
- Death date and location
- All standard Gedcom event types (individual and marriage).
- Marriage details with links to spouses and children
- Links to optional Notes
- An optional Ancestor Chart spanning a user set number of generations. This chart can be created on the main page or a separate page as desired.
- An optional Descendant List spanning a user set number of generations. This list can be created on the main page or a separate page if desired.
An index of individuals is produced with a user set number of individuals per index file (again to allow a file sizes to be traded off against number of files. Each viewable block within a file is followed with links to the previous and next blocks as well as a set of alphabetic links into the index.
A list of surnames is produced to link to the index of individuals.
No attempt is made to import source information.
Although the program will import more than one GEDCOM file no attempt is made to perform a merge operation. As a result any people duplicated across two or more GEDCOM files will result in duplicates in the generated web pages.

Last significant update: 28 January 1999
This information can be freely reproduced in any medium, as long as the information is unmodified.
The It Takes Guts To Say 'Jesus' hoax is just a trivial rewording of the WIN A HOLIDAY hoax, which in turn appears to be a rewording of the JOIN THE CREW hoax. Pathetic. So far, we've only seen it "bundled" with the "Return or Unable to Deliver" hoax.
Thanks to Shirley Worth, who sent us the first report we received of this hoax on 20 January 1999. Here's the text:
> VIRUS WARNING !!!!!!! > If you receive an email titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'" DO NOT OPEN > IT.
Identical to Win A Holiday hoax, with "WIN A HOLIDAY" replaced by "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'".
Sheesh. Pathetic.
Wow. Hoaxters are just SOOOOOO original.
Instead, you should reply to the sender -- and as far back up the email
chain as you have energy -- informing the originators that this is a hoax.
For this particular hoax, I suggest that you provide a pointer to this URL
For virus or hoax info, please see our main page

My 8 yr old is having her birthday party tomorrow at a small swimming pool/waterslide venue. No lifeguard. At the most we are having 11 kids. A parent of four of the kids is swimming. I will be in the water with my 3 yr old and 5 yr old who can't swim. I recruited my dad to act as a lifeguard. My mom agreed to watch my 4 month old while I swim (dh is working).
Question: My mom offered ( to my sister) to take my 4 yr old nephew along who can't swim or touch the bottom. His older brother is coming too. She has a 2 yr old and 2 month old so doesn't want to be in the water or come along. I said no to this because he will be in the water with wings on and no designated adult in with him. The birthday girl likes him and would like him to be there.
Does that sound reasonable to refuse this? My sister is a lot more relaxed about safety issues. It is a very small hotel pool with one fast waterslide.
Also would your opinion change if they put a life-jacket on him?
