Paulo Coelho ❤ Timeless. Always relevant.
By Paulo Coelho onJanuary 11, 2013
When you are going through difficult times
Our dream, the desire that is in our soul, did not come out of nowhere.
Someone placed it there.
And that Someone, who is pure love and wants only our happiness, did so only because he also gave us the tools to realise our dreams and our desires.
When you are going through difficult times, remember: you may have lost some major battles, but you survived and you're still here.
That is a victory. Show your happiness and celebrate your ability to go forward.
Pour your love generously out onto the fields and pastures, down the streets of the big city and across the dunes of the desert.
Show that you care about the poor, for they are an opportunity for you to display the virtue of charity.
And care, too, about the rich, who distrust everything and everyone, keep their granaries crammed with grain and their coffers full, but, despite all that, cannot drive away loneliness.
Never miss an opportunity to show your love, especially to those close to you, because we are always at our most cautious with them, for fear of being hurt.
Love – because you will be the first to benefit. The world around you will reward you, even if, at first, you say to yourself: 'They don't understand my love.'
Love does not need to be understood. It needs only to be shown.

How I have been enjoying surfing videos of late! This one was released by Patagonia and is described as "A Russian adventure to the desolate shores of Kamchatka." Gorgeous.
The music that keeps running in the background of this blog comes from a video post below… of flamingos. Turn it off on the vimeo player. Fabulous video!
U.S.A. vs Japan. "We won…….. We lost………. くやしい!!"
I caught a video replay of the Olympic Women's Finals Soccer / Football Game. It felt so emotional; "my two countries" were playing against each other.
Cultural adjustment plays out in plateaus for me; there are challenging moments, and then it levels again. It's summer. It's hot everyday. I live in a culture that takes no breaks even in the heat. The toll rears its head in the form of heightened homesickness.
There's no real "Cure" for the feeling that has been a constant companion in the life of a multi-culturally raised person. Revisiting familiar places and situations helps.
During Obon, I'll visit my grandmother in Tokyo. My aunt, uncle, and she will whisk me off to her home in Yamanakakou 山中湖, one of the 5 lake towns around Mt. Fuji. I went once as a child, when my grandfather was still with us. It's probably been about 30 years. I can't believe she kept the place; she had to sell their house in Tokyo after he passed away several years ago.
When I told my adult students today where I was going to go, they expressed their envy! It is indeed a very luxurious possession, a summer home around a famous lake.
Lucky me. And gosh, thank God!!
Alligators have been appearing everywhere.
Crocodiles, alligators and caimans are all similar to each other, so this page combines the three, and addresses caiman, as well as symbolic alligator meaning and crocodile meaning together. Alligators and crocodiles are in the same family and their main differences lie in their color, their habitats, the location of their teeth, and the shapes of their jaws. These differences should be keenly noted in your totemic observations. The differences that stand out will be the traits to pay attention to, as these outstanding features will lend meaning to these creature's messages.
These steely-eyed prehistoric predators hold ancient associations with many cultures. The word crocodile is from the Greek word, kroko deilos, which in some translations means, "pebble man," referring to the animals' scaly exterior. The term may also allude to the croc's "water dance," which is an event produced by male croc's seeking to woo their mates. They emit low vibration groans while attracting a mate. The vibration of their mating calls makes the water dance upon their scaly backs. The end effect of this water dance looks and sounds like pebbles dancing on the water's surface. This speaks to me about the importance of being creative when calling new partnerships to us. It also reminds me of rhythm. That pebble-bouncing of water droplets is a audio-rhythm of delight, a shimmering cascade for the ears. It talks about using all of our skills to attract the right people into our lives, unorthodox methods are sometimes the best way to forge connections/relationships.
Some keywords to consider in relation to alligator meaning and symbolic crocodile meaning:
- Fear
- Time
- Magic
- Honor
- Speed
- Stealth
- Strength
- Instinct
- Cunning
- Bravery
- Efficiency
- Resilience
- Solar power
- Birth/creation
- Dependability
- Indestructibility
- Emotional depth
- Primal/ancient power
These reptiles have highly acute senses. Crocodiles have amazing hearing and mothers can hear their babies while still inside their shells. As an animal totem, these animals represent fierce protection. Mothers will transport their young to water in pouches in her mouth and she will guard them like ferociously.
Alligator meaning and crocodile meaning talk to us about keen vision too. Their pupils widen at night, allowing them better vision and they can see very well underwater. That they can see underwater is a big totemic lesson. It tells us that we too can see clearly through our most ambiguous dreams, and perplexing emotions. The pronounced eyelids have the perfect camouflage, their scaly skin. The alligator encourages us to look but not be seen.
Because alligators, crocodiles and caiman's are associated with water, we're also talking about seeing clearly into emotional worlds. These creatures ask us to dive into our emotions and seek fluidity, healing and cleansing in these realms. Gators and crocs also ask us to utilize our dreams for emotional understanding. Call upon these creatures when you're in a crunch emotionally, or are unclear about how to heal yourself, or if you're having disturbing dreams. These creatures are fearless, and their energy is extremely forthright. They strike clarity into our lives when we call on them. Moreover, these creatures represent an equal balance between earth and water. With their help, we too can become grounded, and settled in our emotions.
Let us consider the rough, bony covering of the alligator. It is armor and can deflect bullets; however, his underside belly is soft. This speaks to us of duality and balance: the rigid and the vulnerable, the push and the pull, the mighty and the meek, the obvious and the hidden.
Alligator behavior bears heavily on the implications of this animal totem. They are precision in motion. They remain hidden, poised, and held in a show of ultimate control. They waste no movement. Once they have seized their prey, they will roll under water, hiding their catch under a log. This speaks of preparation, "stewing." Alligators are timing personified. We would do well to learn from them to make our choices wisely and, once made, allow them to take their course.
Temperature is very important to the reptile. Temperature represents a measure of activity. In some cases, as with the alligator, a higher temperature will ensure a male offspring, and a cooler one, a female. This calls our attention to our environment. We could ask ourselves if we are living in agreement with our surroundings. Are we fighting elements in our lives? Or, can we do as the alligator does and keenly adjust ourselves in harmony with our conditions?
In the Hindu chakra system, the crocodile governs the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana). This is a developmental energy, as the sacral chakra is a power-center of creation. The crocodile in this chakra encourages creativity and balance. This chakra-crocodile goes deep into our emotional core and resurfaces with dynamic creative power. Read more about chakra animal symbols here.
Symbolism of the great crocodile parallels in several aspects with its ancient brother, the shark. Both rulers are amazingly strong, silent, cunning, and fearless. Both have highly effective skin and perpetually regenerate their teeth.
In many Native American tribes, alligators are symbols of status and power. Because it is easily comfortable on land and water, many tribes consider them as creatures responsible for creation. The alligator is a mediator in many Native legends, because it emerged from primordial waters in creation myths and brought forth the sun and the earth.
Mayan legend tells of four crocodiles supporting the entire world - keeping it's delicate balance in-tack by the strength of their backs and with fierce determination. The alligator appears in Mayan astrology too. In their zodiac, those born under this Day-Sign are instinctively superior and sensitive to criticism. Those with the alligator animal totem should examine their fears, both conscious and subconsciously. People born under the alligator/crocodile sign of the Mayan zodiac also have access to incredible, primordial power. They are open to new beginnings, and often see opportunities where others see nothing.
The Egyptians so adored the crocodiles, they named a town after them: Crocodilopolis, where these creatures were worshipped and adorned with bedazzling gold and jewels. The crocodile god, Sobek, symbolized ultimate power, protection, and fertility to the ancient Egyptians. Sobek was one among several gods responsible for weighing the souls of the dead. In this light, we can't overlook the symbolism of discernment, judgment, authority and guidance in conjunction with the crocodile and the role of Sobek in ancient Egypt.
At the crux of caiman, alligator meaning and crocodile meaning is their prehistoric status. These creatures are ancient, and have evolved very little over their reign beginning over 50 million years ago. These creatures represent a deep, abiding connection with the Mother (Nature), and perhaps that's the most profound wisdom they have to share. When the alligator or crocodile make an appearance in our lives, we are bound to ask questions like:
- What's the best way I can establish harmony in my life in order to survive and prosper?
- What's the status of my relationships? Am I making a way for others to be their true selves? Am I my authentic self around other people?
- What's my emotional status? Am I clear about what I'm feeling?
- What am I creating lately? Have I given birth to anything new?
- Call on the alligator/crocodile/caiman for help in each of these areas, because they are highly equipped to assist in clarity and productivity in each instance.
I studied at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, USA for one semester. It is a school that was founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher.
He wrote a book called Dharma Art. The book summary on Amazon reads as follows:
"Dharma art" refers to creative works that spring from the awakened meditative state, characterized by directness, unselfconsciousness, and nonaggression. Trungpa Rinpoche shows that dharma art provides a vehicle to appreciate the nature of things as they are and express it without any struggle or desire to achieve.
My copy of the book is in storage. In my hazy memory of the contents, I thought the writing addressed "style" and how "inner style" informs "outer style." My best shot at remembering the title was Dharma Style.
I was wrong. But why couldn't it be "dharma style"?
I have been pondering "style" recently - the width and the depth with which it may be carried out. It's actually a discipline and takes constant study and analyzing to evolve.
My Buddhist studies have been in the Zen school of thought, but I would like to look up more of Trungpa Rinpoche's teachings. Tonight I have come across the following excerpt of his.
The Majesty of the World is Always There
Look at the sun. The sun is shining. Nobody polishes the sun. The sun just shines. Look at the moon, the sky, the world at its best. Unfortunately, we human beings try to fit everything into conditionality. We try to make something out of nothing. We have messed everything up. That's our problem. We have to go back to the sun and the moon, to dragons, tigers, lions, garudas (mythical birds). We can be like the blue sky, sweethearts, and the clouds so clean, so beautiful. We don't have to try too hard to find ourselves. We haven't really lost anything; we just have to tune in. The majesty of the world is always there.
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Just as Germany once had Paul, an octopus that successfully predicted the outcome of the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament, so too does Japan, with an octopus that has predicted how many medals Japan will bring home from the 2012 London Olympics. Taking place in the city of Takatsuki, in Osaka Prefecture, on Wednesday, the octopus named Takotencho ("octopus manager"), predicted that Japanese athletes will win 25 medals this year, the same count as at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The event was held outside a popular shopping center in the city, and Fusaho Izumi, the mayor of Akashi, was present to put the octopus in his new fish tank. Witnesses report that Takotencho swam around the tank for a bit to get used to things, and then finally settled on the left side, which was meant to indicate 25 medals. The German octopus astounded soccer fans around the world two years ago. Its predictions of all of Germany's soccer team matches at the World Cup, even their third place finish, turned out correct. It even successfully picked that Spain would take first place over the Netherlands in the final match. Well, many of Japan's athlete's preparing for this year's games, and expectations that the nation will do better than in the Beijing Games, lets all hope that Takotencho's predictions come out a little low. http://japandailypress.com/octopus-predicts-japans-london-olympic-medal-count-295615
Last night (early this morning), as I was preparing to sleep, I witnessed a huge centipede slinking across the corner of the carpet under my futon. It was red and glowing. Alarmed, I went to get a glass with which to capture it for outside release. When I returned, it was nowhere in sight. I immediately looked up the symbolism of the mysterious creature, and below is what I found.
Centipede and Millipede *Ted Andrews/Animal-Wise Keynote: Movement into new psychic connections and relationships. Protection against psychic deceptions. In China, the centipede is the archenemy of the snake. Many folktales tell how thte centipede saves a person when a snake attacks or how it's apperance warned individuals snakes were near. To the Chinese, the centipede is also considered one of the five noxious creatures because large centipedes (yan-yu) are poisonous: "If their dried seed falls into what you are eating, you will die." Efforts to expel them from human communities were performed on the fifth day of the fifth month, thus time of power. It was also believed the @#%$ could destroy them, and thus should be studied as well. "Hundred leggers" and "thousand leggers" are arthropods like insects and arachnids, part of thousands of many-legged creatures. The name means 100 legs and 1000 legs repsectively, but they do not really have that many. Most centipedes have 15-23 paris of legs, one for each segment of the body. Millipedes have two pairs of legs on each body segment. Young millipedes are born with three pairs of legs, but the number of segments and legs increase with each molt. Legs provide stability and enable forward movement. Animals with legs a predominant feature often show us how to increase stability and move forward in our endeavors more successfully. For those whom the millipede is a messenger, successful movement in all endeavors will come with age. These are often "late bloomers." Like insects but unlike spiders, centipedes and millipedes have a pair of antennae. All creatures with antennae reflect increasing psychic sensitivities and perceptions. Because they are also nocturnal, it will be important to pay attention to dreams when the centipede appears as a messenger. Dreams will become increasingly prophetic and clairvoyant, providing great insight and inspiration. Many centipedes are also blind, and this an be a reminder to trust our inner perceptions and not outer appearances. Trusting in our higher perceptions will help us succeed in our endeavors and activities. When male centipedes find a female, they touch antennae, and the male then follws the female. For those to whom the centipede appears, relationships are often based upon strong initial psychic connections not easily explained in other ways. When the centipede appears, it is not unusual for a strong psychic connection to occur with someone new shortly thereafter. Both need damp environments, the millipede more than the centipede. For those to whome either is a messenger, it is important to have their own creative environments. Damp environments are symbolic of creative, psychic, and emotional areas. Finding an environment, supportive to their creative and psychic sensibilities, will be necessary for their health and well-being. Although both are many-legged creatures, there are some unique differences. Some centipedes produce silk, usually only used during mating and to capture prey. They are active predators of insects, spiders, and worms. Their front pair of legs acts as claws and all have poisonous glands in their jaws used for paralyzing and killing prey. Centipedes often remind us to be careful of what we say and how we say it. Millipedes are found under stones and in moist soil and leaf litter. They avoid the light, feeding upon various plant materials and soft decompsing plant tissues. They discharge strong-smelling secretions that may be repellent and poisonous to other animals. Centipedes and millipedes alert us to new psychic environments and connections and to new and previously unrecognized psychic relationships. They also appear to alert us to any possible pitfalls within those relationships. Theirs is the energy of quiet protection in psychic exploration.

Beer 163 - Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's IPA (8%)
Oskar Blues Brewery is located in Longmont, Colorado and is owned by Dale Katechis. Dale also owns Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids Restaurant, as well as the Brewery and Brew Pub and Grill.
In 1997, Dale opened up the tiny restaurant, Oskar Blues Cajun Grill, in Lyons, a town with a, population of just 1400. Two years later, Dale felt it was time to revamp his passion for home brewing by turning the restaurant into a brewpub. What started out as a small side project turned into a huge success.
The brewery makes six production beers in 100 and 200 barrel batches for distribution in 25 states. The restaurant is a Southern-inspired BBQ joint with 43 craft beers on tap and an in-house smoker, whilst their Grill offers up tasty-sounding Cajun, Creole and Southern-style comfort foods along with their beer. They regularly host live roots music, with big names in rock, bluegrass, jam music, folk, and Americana lining up to perform.
All sounds standard enough; restaurant-turned-brewpub, plus tasty food and beer. Oh, did I mention the small fact they only sell their beer in cans? Oskar Blues launched the canning operation in a crappy 60-year-old barn next door to the pub in the autumn of 2002. They were the first American craft brewery to can their output. The original crew used a hand-canning line on a table-top machine that sealed one can at a time. By putting tonight's beer, Dale's Pale Ale in a can, they launched, what they have dubbed the "Canned Beer Apocalypse."
Cans instead of bottles? "We thought the idea of our big, luscious pale ale in a can was hilarious", recalls Katechis. "And it made our beer immensely portable for outdoor enjoyment and fun". Their cans keep beer incredibly fresh by fully protecting it from light and oxygen. Unlike cans of old, the modern aluminium can is lined with a water-based coating so beer and metal never touch, and there is no exchange of metallic flavour.
Cans are also the most easily and frequently recycled beverage package in the world, free of glass breakage issues, and less fuel-consuming to ship (cans enable Oskar Blues to reduce its fuel costs and carbon footprint for shipped beer by 35%).
And the proof was in the can with their flagship Dale's Pale Ale being awarded Top American Pale Ale from the New York Times and World's Best Canned Beers from Details magazine. The awards didn't stop there and almost ten years after Oskar Blues started the revolution, the brewery took home three medals at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival
They also host the annual Burning Can Beer Festival, a celebration of craft beer in a can. Kayaking, biking, fly fishing, chainsaw carving and dog events are supplemented by lashings of canned craft beer. Sounds pretty awesome and this annual event has easily made it on to my must do list.
It all sounds pretty great, but will Deviant Dale's IPA open a can of whoop ass on my palette? Here's hoping.
It pours, well, pretty much unlike any other canned beverage I've had of late; vibrantly gold with a fluffy off white head. It smells fantastic, with a juicy tropical fruit aroma. Pineapple and mangoes are backed up with a piny bitterness. It certainly looks and smells better than a can of Skol.
The flavour backs up what was going on with the nose but opens up more to reveal oranges and lemon. This fruit platter is served up on a caramel malt bed, the hop note goes from pine to just cut grass in one bitteringly beautiful step. There's heaps of carbonation and it's solidly bodied. Deviant Dale's is a quirky yet quintessential DIPA. Delicious stuff.
Thanks again to @thealetrail and @dassiegirl1 for bringing this back from their recent jaunt stateside. Wrapped up in a Katz's Deli menu no less. Thanks guys.

George Albercook Teaches Kids About Space with High-Altitude Balloons (Video)
Roblimo posted more than 2 years ago | from the higher-and-higher-we-fly dept.21
George Albercook says he got carried away talking with some third and fourth graders about space and asked them, "Would you like to go?" Except, of course, he couldn't send them beyond the atmosphere in person, so as a consolation he worked with them to send up a balloon that could carry experiments high enough that the sky is black 24 hours a day and the Earth's curvature is easy to see. This interview with George was at the 2012 Ann Arbor Mini Maker Faire. Click on the link just below, if you'd like to read the transcript.

Earlier Tuesday afternoon Apple released the second version of iOS 8 beta to developers. iOS 8 was introduced at WWDC earlier this month and offers a variety of new features. So what is different in iOS 8 beta 2 that wasn't included in the first version?
QuickType available on iPad
When the first beta was released, the new QuickType software was only available on iPhone and iPod. Now you can use the new and long overdue feature on your iPad as well!
Podcasts is pre-installed
In the first beta, we learned that iBooks is now a pre-installed app. In the second beta, Apple made Podcasts a pre-installed app too! The only downside to this is that you can no longer delete the apps from your devices [just like GameCenter].
Multiple changes to iBooks
iBooks now has a transparent background which wasn't seen in the first beta. Another notable change to iBooks is a new UI which groups books together that are part of a series.
New Home Date Settings
In preparation of the new HomeKit technology, there is now a option to edit privacy settings for HomeKit under privacy.
Handoff now works with devices
One thing myself and another colleague noticed in the first beta was not being able to use Handoff. With beta 2, I've been able to use the feature. If you still have issues connecting, be sure to turn on Bluetooth!
9to5Mac.com is reporting that you can now mark all messages as read but I was able to do that in the first beta myself. Maybe this is an issue that not everyone was having.

It's finally here.
Nearly eight months ago, the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens engaged in an epic NFL battle, one that lasted two overtimes and ended in heartbreak for the hometown team.
Had it not been for the outcome, this game would have gone down as arguably the greatest and most exciting the NFL has seen in decades. But, we all know the story. The Ravens kicked a field goal in the second overtime period to propel them to the AFC Championship game, where they defeated the New England Patriots (also on the road), and eventually hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.
Essentially, the Ravens did last year what every Denver Broncos fan thought their team would do when they leap-frogged everybody for the first overall seed in the AFC and appeared to be the most dominant team in the league.
We could talk all day and night about how Denver had that game won, but today it doesn't matter. Tonight, it doesn't matter.
The Broncos and Ravens are a different kind of 0-0 on Thursday night, not representing the only option being to win or go home, but representing new beginnings.
Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Anquan Boldin are all gone for the Baltimore Ravens. Star tight end Dennis Pitta is injured. All of those players have been replaced and have left the Ravens with serious question marks defensively.
For the Broncos, there will be no more Elvis Dumervil (he'll be in purple and black), and at least for this game, there will be no Champ Bailey or Von Miller.
Needless to say, this game is going to feature a Broncos team picking up where it left off with unfinished business in 2013 and a Ravens team looking to prove their Super Bowl run was not a fluke, but both teams are going to be very, very different.
The Ravens have added the likes of Elvis Dumervil, former Raiders first round pick Michael Huff, and ex-Broncos slot machine Brandon Stokley.
The Broncos have added some fire power of their own, making a big splash in free agency when they picked up former Patriots legend Wes Welker to man the slot position. They also reeled in the likes of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and Wisconsin running back Montee Ball.
Any time you lose a guy like a Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Von Miller, or Champ Bailey, your defense is going to take a significant step back. Those guys are either legends or have legendary talent (in the case of Miller), and for varying reasons, all will be absent from a matchup that created one of the most memorable (or forgettable) NFL games in recent history.
Sports Authority Field at Mile High is going to be rocking, make no mistake about it.
The NFL has plastered Joe Flacco's likeness all over town, including a massive poster of the rival QB on the front of the team's HOUSE. As if the bitter taste in our mouths from the end of last season weren't enough, the league decided to ramp up the hate for the Ravens even more.
It's not like the Broncos and Ravens are huge rivals, but after Denver's playoff exit and Elvis Dumervil heading to Baltimore, there is a bit of an extra chip on the shoulder of Broncos fans, who are eager to get the season started off right and get that taste out of their mouths.
Fans will paint the country orange tomorrow as the Broncos take the field for the first time in eight long months in a meaningful game, a game in which all fans have huge expectations, even with Denver's absences defensively.
As I have said to the doubters all offseason long–As long as #18 is on the field, you better believe my confidence is sky high.
That's the beauty of having an elite quarterback with eight months to prepare, eight months to dissect, and most importantly–eight months to get healthier, stronger, and more tight with his teammates.
With Peyton Manning on the field, the Broncos and their fans have no fear whatsoever. Of course, Manning's track record isn't the greatest in the playoffs, but the 37-year old has proven he can take a team to and win a Super Bowl.
That's the hope the Broncos and their eager fans are clinging to. The up-tempo, high octane offense is something everyone around the league has high expectations for, and I absolutely can't wait to see it in action.
The Broncos' young defense and high flying offense are going to have to learn from the mistakes that the 2012 team made against the Ravens in the playoffs, missed opportunities and mental errors that led to a colossal loss.
If this team plays up to what it is capable of in game one, expectations will be soaring. This Broncos team is quite probably the best team the city has had since John Elway led his team to a Super Bowl win against the Falcons, and this game is just the beginning.

You know, if a few more people do not "obsess" on immigration, we will just be standing by watching the country drain away. Go to NumbersUSA or FAIR. You seem to be really ignorant on the issue. It would pay to do a little research. And, yes, Rubio IS for immediate legalization. There have been several articles written detailing that he has already signed on to legalization with no triggers, or triggers with no force. And this is nothing new for him. As a Floridian, I have watched him and his mentor, Jeb Bush, advocating for illegals for years, while ignoring the wishes of the Florida electorate. He was elected Senator only because he is a consummate liar, a very good one. Reminds me of Obama.

#'How many times are you going to reblog this?' they asked #'Always' I whispered
INSTANT REBLOG!!! Look at the notes :')
The best part is that we didn't have to hijack some hipster blog to get that many notes. We're a badass fandom!
A little birdie told me that Stana does have a boyfriend. All I will say, not saying anything more because I don't want rumors to get started
of course she does… from long time ago, the same guy… the "brother"
her hand is on his thigh all the time.
GO! GO! CASTLE FANDOM!!! look at the notes!!!! Go!! Go!!!
Less than 5000 notes to go.
OH my god we're SO FREAKING CLOSE!!!!!!!
Oh my God. Yes. ^
Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get us to 47,000
Okay, let's do the Math to see if our goal is attainable:
- Tomorrow marks the 115th day since 'Always' aired.
- There are 30,860 notes as of this moment.
- There is an average of approx. 268 notes per day.
- Should this average be consistent, we can achieve approx. 6,440 notes more by September 24th.
- That'll bring us to a grand total of 37,300 notes by September 24th.
- That's 9,700 notes short of our goal of 47,000.
To achieve that sweet 47,000 notes, we need:
- Approx. 673 notes everyday, 151% more than the trend we're going at now.
I know it's a challenging goal to achieve, but we can do it!
GOD! i love when you do this mathematic nerdy calculations. I FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS!
Let's do it! The Castle fandom can do this! Reblog everytime you see it!
Yeah, I just reblogged this 10 times in a row….

The Chicago Bears have signed former Kansas City Chiefs OT/TE Steve Maneri.
From the Chicago Tribune:
Steve Maneri, a blocking tight end, has agreed to terms on a two-year contract. The Tribune reported earlier this week the Bears were pursuing Maneri, who also drew interest from the Houston Texans. He is expected to replace Matt Spaeth in the offense.
A converted offensive tackle, Maneri was not tendered as an exclusive rights free agent by the Kansas City Chiefs after he appeared in 13 games and made eight starts in 2012. Maneri, 6-6, 280 pounds, was an undrafted free agent in 2010 from Temple when he signed with the Texans. He also spent time with the New England Patriots and made it to the Chiefs in 2011. In Kansas City, he was converted to tight end last offseason and excelled in a role as a blocker, what the Bears had Spaeth on the roster to do. Maneri, 25, made five receptions for 51 yards last season. He has appeared in 19 games and has nine career starts.
We haven't talked much about Maneri this offseason but the Chiefs may have let one get away here. Despite being converted from tackle to tight end, Maneri actually graded pretty well last year according to Pro Football Focus. He was slightly above average in both run blocking and pass blocking, finishing the season with a +4.2 overall grade. He played 412 snaps. In fact, Maneri played every offensive snap against the Colts in Week 16 last year and that was the game the Chiefs ran all over Indy.
Alas, Maneri is a Bear now.
That leaves the Chiefs with Tony Moeaki and the newly signed Anthony Fasano.
Moeaki struggled in his first season back from knee surgery. He started off very slow but did string together some strong performances down the stretch. He caught 33 passes for 453 yards and one TD in 2012. He also dropped four passes. He finished the year with a -4.0 grade.
Fasano finished the year with a +4.2 grade in Miami, which is the same mark Maneri received. He caught 41 passes for 332 yards. Fasano was also a big threat in the red zone, hauling in five TDs.

Energy from Matter Help (page 3)
The splitting up of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission . This is, in a sense, the opposite of nuclear fusion, which occurs inside the Sun and other stars. The very first atomic bombs, developed in the 1940s, made use of fission reactions to produce energy. More powerful weapons, created in the 1950s, used atomic fission bombs to produce the temperatures necessary to generate hydrogen fusion.
Human-caused And Natural Fission
The preceding problems involving oxygen and beryllium are given for illustrative purposes, but the actual breaking up of atomic nuclei is not such a simple business. A physicist can't snap an atomic nucleus apart as if it were a toy. Nuclear reactions must take place under special conditions, and the results are not as straightforward as the foregoing problems suggest.
To split atomic nuclei in the laboratory, a particle accelerator is employed. This machine uses electric charges, magnetic fields, and other effects to hurl subatomic particles at extreme speeds at the nuclei of atoms to split them apart. The result is a fission reaction, often attended by the liberation of energy in various forms.
Some fission reactions occur spontaneously. Such a reaction can take place atom-by-atom over a long period of time, as is the case with the decay of radioactive minerals in the environment. The reaction can occur rapidly but under controlled conditions, as in a nuclear power plant. It can take place almost instantaneously and out of control, as in an atomic bomb when two sufficiently massive samples of certain radioactive materials are pressed together.
Matter And Antimatter
The proton, the neutron, and the electron each has its own nemesis particle that occurs in the form of antimatter . These particles are called antiparticles . The antiparticle for the proton is the antiproton; for the neutron it is the antineutron; for the electron it is the positron . The antiproton has the same mass as the proton, but in a negative sort of way, and it has a negative electric charge that is equal but opposite to the positive electric charge of the proton. The antineutron has the same mass as the neutron, but again in a negative sense. Neither the neutron nor the antineutron have any electric charge. The positron has same mass as the electron, but in a negative sense, and it is positively charged to an extent equal to the negative charge on an electron.
You might have read or seen in science-fiction novels and movies that when a particle of matter collides with its nemesis, they annihilate each other. This is true. What, exactly, does this mean? Actually, the particles don't just vanish from the cosmos, but they change from matter into energy. The combined mass of the particle and the antiparticle is liberated completely according to the same Einstein formula that applies in nuclear reactions:
E = ( m + + m − ) c 2
where E is the energy in joules, m + is the mass of the particle in kilograms, m − is the mass of the antiparticle in kilograms, and c is the speed of light squared, which, as you recall, is approximately equal to 9 × 10 16 m 2 /s 2 .
Unimaginable Power
If equal masses of matter and antimatter are brought together, then in theory all the mass will be converted to energy. If there happens to be more matter than antimatter, there will be some matter left over after the encounter. Conversely, if there is more antimatter than matter, there will be some antimatter remaining.
In a nuclear reaction, only a tiny fraction of the mass of the constituents is liberated as energy; plenty of matter is always left over, although its form has changed. You might push together two chunks of 235 U, the isotope of uranium whose atomic mass is 235 amu, and if their combined mass is great enough, an atomic explosion will take place. However, there will still be a considerable amount of matter remaining. We might say that the matter-to-energy conversion efficiency of an atomic explosion is low.
In a matter-antimatter reaction, if the masses of the samples are equal, the conversion efficiency is 100 percent. As you can imagine, a matter-antimatter bomb would make a conventional nuclear weapon of the same total mass look like a firecracker by comparison. A single matter-antimatter weapon of modest size could easily wipe out all life on Earth.
Where Is All The Antimatter?
Why don't we see antimatter floating around in the Universe? Why, for example, are the Earth, Moon, Venus, and Mars all made of matter and not antimatter? (If any celestial object were made of antimatter, then as soon as a spacecraft landed on it, the ship would vanish in a fantastic burst of energy.) This is an interesting question. We are not absolutely certain that all the distant stars and galaxies we see out there really are matter. However, we do know that if there were any antimatter in our immediate vicinity, it would have long ago combined with matter and been annihilated. If there were both matter and antimatter in the primordial solar system, the mass of the matter was greater, for it prevailed after the contest.
Most astronomers are skeptical of the idea that our galaxy contains roughly equal amounts of matter and antimatter. If this were the case, we should expect to see periodic explosions of unimaginable brilliance or else a continuous flow of energy that could not be explained in any way other than matter-antimatter encounters. However, no one really knows the answers to questions about what comprises the distant galaxies and, in particular, the processes that drive some of the more esoteric objects such as quasars.
Energy from Matter Practice Problems
Problem 1
Suppose that a 1.00-kg block of matter and a 1.00-kg block of antimatter are brought together. How much energy will be liberated? Will there be any matter or antimatter left over?
Solution 1
We can answer the second question first: There will be no matter or antimatter left over because the masses of the two blocks are equal (and, in a sense, opposite). As for the first part of the question, the total mass involved in this encounter is 2.00 kg, so we can use the famous Einstein formula. For simplicity, let's round off the speed of light to c = 3.00 × 10 8 m/s. Then the energy E , in joules, is
E = mc 2
= 2.00 × (3.00 × 10 8 ) 2
= 2.00 × 9.00 × 10 16
This is a lot of joules. It is not easy to conceive how great a burst of energy this represents because the number 1.80 × 10 17 , or 180 quadrillion, is too large to envision. However, the quantity of energy represented by 1.80 × 10 17 J can be thought of in terms of another problem.
Problem 2
We know that 1 W = 1 J/s. How long would the energy produced in the preceding matter-antimatter reaction, if it could be controlled and harnessed, illuminate a 100-W light bulb?
Solution 2
Divide the amount of energy in joules by the wattage of the bulb in joules per second. We know this will work because, in terms of units,
J/W = J/(J/s) = J · (s/J) = s
The joules cancel out. Note also that the small dot (·) is used to represent multiplication when dealing with units, as opposed to the slanted cross (×) that is customarily used with numerals. Getting down to the actual numbers, let P be the power consumed by the bulb (100 W), let t s be the number of seconds the 100-W light bulb will burn, and let E be the total energy produced by the matter-antimatter reaction, 1.80 × 10 17 J. Thus
t s = E/P
= 1.80 × 10 17 /100
= 1.80 × 10 17 /10 2
= 1.80 × 10 15 s
This is a long time, but how long in terms of, say, years? There are 60.0 seconds in a minute, 60.0 minutes in an hour, 24.0 hours in a day, and, on average, 365.25 days in a year. This makes 31,557,600, or 3.15576 × 10 7 , seconds in a year. Let t yr be the time in years that the light bulb burns. Then
t yr = t s /(3.15576 × 10 7 )
= (1.80 × 10 15 )/(3.15576 × 10 7 )
= 0.570 × 10 8
= 5.70 × 10 7 yr
This is 57.0 million years, rounded to three significant figures (the nearest 100,000 years), which is all the accuracy to which we are entitled based on the input data.
Problem 3
Suppose that the amount of matter in the preceding two problems is doubled to 2.00 kg but the amount of antimatter remains 1.00 kg. How much energy will be liberated? Will there be any matter or antimatter left over?
Solution 3
The amount of liberated energy will be the same as in the examples shown by the preceding two problems: 1.80 × 10 17 J. There will be 1.00 kg of matter left over (the difference between the masses). However, assuming that the encounter produces an explosion, the matter won't remain in the form of a brick. It will be scattered throughout millions of cubic kilometers of space.

girl crush: connie britton
The moment Connie Britton appeared on-screen in Friday Night Lights, she walked straight into our hearts. (And if you haven't seen this show, tartelettes, then run – don't walk – to your nearest Netflix subscription and devour the whole delicious, feel-good series at once.) As Tami Taylor, Connie played the type of woman we always aspired to be: whip-smart, funny, graceful, and – above all – one that never took any crap from anyone. (And that hair!) So, imagine our pleasure in discovering that Connie herself is as charming and feisty as the woman she played on the silver screen.
Now, she's back in another Southern-inflected role in Nashville, a show that focused on the drama of a different intense world far from football – country music. We'll be watching and rooting on our favorite sassy gal! Will you?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama proposed cutting ballooning U.S. budget deficits by $4 trillion over 12 years on Wednesday and called for talks with Democratic and Republican lawmakers to address the worsening fiscal woes.
Obama, who has been criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for taking too low a profile in the debate over how to tame long-term debt and deficits, said the budget savings should be achieved through a mix of spending cuts and revenue increases through higher taxes.
Obama shared details of his plan with Democratic and Republican lawmakers ahead of a speech at 1:35 p.m. (1735 GMT).
According to congressional sources, Obama will propose:
* Reducing the deficit by $4 trillion in 12 years or less
* Curbing deficits to 2.5 percent of GDP in 2015, 2 percent toward the end of the decade
* Ending Bush-era tax rates for the wealthiest Americans
* Seeking $770 billion in savings by 2023 in cuts to non-security discretionary spending
* Saving $480 billion in Medicare and Medicaid by 2023 and at least $1 trillion more by 2033.
Obama will use the speech to try to regain control of the spending debate by drawing a contrast with a Republican plan to combine an overhaul of the Medicare health program with lower taxes to reduce the deficit by $4.4 trillion in 10 years.
Obama was expected to point to recommendations made last year by his debt commission, co-chaired by Republican Alan Simpson and Democrat Erskine Bowles, as a starting point for discussion.
He has so far declined to endorse their report but in a sign he was moving closer toward their findings, the panel co-chairmen were expected to attend the speech.
The deficit issue has become entangled with a vote Congress will consider in the next few weeks on raising the nation's borrowing limit. Republicans say they will not vote to lift the debt limit without commitments to rein in long-term deficits.
The debt is expected to hit the $14.3 trillion ceiling as early as mid-May and a failure to lift it could raise the specter of default and ripple through financial markets.
Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, warned in a call with reporters on Wednesday that it would be unwise to "play with that fire."
"If it (the United States) actually defaults on its debt, it would be potentially catastrophic."

And here's Texas Gov. Rick Perry's mugshot to brighten your evening.
He turned himself in today at the Travis County Jail in Austin after being indicted on two felony charges last Friday stemming from allegations that his office maneuvered to force Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign from her position. .
(Source: Gawker)
Let's preview Rick Perry's criminal defense strategy, shall we?
His felony indictment for corruption pleases me.
As you may recall, the first two parts of the Atlas Shrugged movie adaptation were not exactly a huge success with audiences or with critics. Critics are not a problem, of course; they can be dismissed because they're just part of the Liberal Media Establishment. And if audiences stayed away, well, that's just because maybe they were simply not ready for the Important Message of an Ayn Rand movie — they'll find it, they will, and it will change their lives.
But the epic must be finished, and unfortunately, not a lot of money rolled in from the first two outings to finance the third. Never mind what the free market said about the need for the third installment, there's a goddamn Artistic Vision here that needs to be fulfilled. And so co-producers Harmon Kaslow and John Aglialoro have gone on Kickstarter to raise $250,000 to help produce part 3, Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt? As the A.V. Club says, it's just what they had to do in order to "propagate its titular character's manifesto to 'never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.'"
Gentlemen, I believe the free market already HAD something to say about your artistic vision, and none of it was positive.
My friend lost a $5 bet to me. I'm merciless.
There are some morose motherfuckers over at Fox News today. Drink up, kiddos, and quit your whining. It's not like you don't have job security for the next four years.
As an aside, can I just say how much I'm truly enjoying watching the wheels come off the wagon over at Daddy Rupert's house? Really, it's a thing of beauty.
And the Donald would know about wasting money, amirite?
Enjoy eating your own, GOP. Perhaps we'll get some moderation in 2014.
I know, wishful thinking…
"The schadenfreude is so thick you can't cut it with a chainsaw," wrote The Wall Street Journal in an editorial on Monday, defending Rupert Murdoch and the News Corporation. Well, yes, the schadenfreude is pretty darn thick…
Although I generally admire entrepreneurs who build giant companies, Rupert Murdoch, despite giving us Homer Simpson, generally has not been a force for good over the course of his long career. His Bill O'Reilly-ed, Glenn Beck-ed Fox News has done a great deal to coarsen the political discourse. His tabloids have lowered the standards of journalism on three continents — and routinely broken the law on at least one of them. He had dumbed down his prestige papers, like The Times of London. He has run roughshod over cross-ownership rules meant to prevent one man or company from having too much power — and then used his lobbying might to get those rules diluted. He has put kowtowing to China ahead of freedom of the press, even killing a book set to be published by his HarperCollins unit that the Chinese authorities objected to. He has consistently used his media properties to reward allies and punish enemies. It's a long list.
Throughout his career, Murdoch has never just been satisfied with besting the competition, as most decent businessmen are. He's not truly happy unless he has his foot on a competitor's neck and is pressing it downward…
One feature of Murdoch's career is that he's never played by the rules that apply to other businessmen. That's one reason I think he seems so shellshocked in those paparazzi photographs: unable in this dire circumstance to make his own rules, he simply doesn't know how to react or what to do. On Tuesday, when he is excoriated in Parliament, it will be the first time he has ever truly been held to account. It undoubtedly won't be fun for him. But there are many people who are going to take great glee in his misery — not unlike the way his newspapers have always taken such glee in the misery of others.
This is going to be marvelous (I hope). Side note: Any of you folks hear "Schadenfreude" from Avenue Q playing as you read this? I did.
