(UPDATED COVERAGE, June 28) Citing unfair trade practices, the Florida Tomato Exchange has asked the U.S. government to end its tomato suspension agreement with Mexico.
The Maitland-based organization has filed documents with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission requesting withdrawal from a 1996 anti-dumping duty petition, said Reggie Brown, the exchange's executive vice president.
Withdrawing the anti-dumping petition would end the current suspension agreement, which sets a floor price for Mexican tomatoes exported to the U.S.
The current suspension agreement is the third put in place since the 1996 petition. During those 16 years, U.S. growers have been the victims of gamesmanship and evasive actions by Mexican growers, Brown said.
"Given the general overall condition of the industry, we'll either find a resolution to this issue, or there may not be an industry in place in a few years," Brown said. "Our intent is to find a resolution."
For now, Brown doesn't know what such a resolution would look like.
"We've just started down this road," he said. "We're starting to assess the options and opportunities, and we'll proceed with remedies that we think are achievable."
If the government ends the suspension agreement, there could be a "period of uncertainty" before a new import protocol is established, Brown said.
Mexican imports today are roughly three times the value they were when the case was first brought, Brown said. He said there has been virtually no change in the underlying reference price in the three suspension agreements that are supposed to reflect Mexican costs of production.
Bob Spencer, vice president and sales manager of Palmetto, Fla.-based West Coast Tomato Inc., said Florida growers can compete with tomato growers anywhere, if given a level playing field.
"The reality of the situation is, Florida has been suffering from dumping of tomatoes from Mexican at below the cost of production for a number of years," he said. "There's a direct correlation between shrinking production in Florida and unfair business practices."
Jerry Wagner, director of sales and marketing for Nogales, Ariz.-based Farmer's Best, an importer of Mexican tomatoes, said his company does not dump tomatoes on the U.S. market.
Wagner said the surge in demand for Mexican tomatoes has been due to consumers' preference for Mexican vine-ripes, romas and other varieties over gas-green Florida rounds.

Spider Rectangular Coffee Table
Price: $1,840.00Overview
Design by Lievore Altherr Molina.
By Sovet Italia
If origami could be created out of glass, the end result would be the Spider Rectangular Coffee Table. Formed from a single piece of glass artfully cut and bent, and slightly higher than it's counter part Spider Low Rectangular Coffee Table , the Spider Rectangular Coffee Table adapts to your modern living areas. Choose from clear or extralight glass for a minimal appearance. If you prefer a bold statement, selected from vibrantly colored lacquered glass or metallic plated glass. As each fold determines the outcome in origami, each glass choice creates a unique Spider High Rectangular Coffee Table feature piece.
Clear and Extralight glass are distinguishable by the glass edge color. Traditional clear features a green tinted edge. Extralight glass is more transparent than traditional clear glass and features a clear blue tinted edge.
Material(s): Glass
Dimensions: 48" W X 28.3" D X 14.2" H
Manufacturer: Sovet Italia
Sovet Italia: Leaders in Shaped Glass Contemporary Furniture
Sovet Italia was founded at the end of the 1980's when glass gained incredible traction as a viable material in the furniture market. At the time, innovative glass processing techniques began to pave the way for unique artistic expression in the material. Groundbreaking and functional furniture designs were made possible with a partnership of traditional glass shaping techniques and advanced technologies, allowing for durable glass furniture that was no longer constrained to limited use within traditional design.
A decade later, Sovet Italia confirmed itself as a leader in shaped contemporary glass furniture, having developed a full range of products that stood out for their originality of form, color and finishes. During the years to follow, the company tested new solutions for the use of bent glass and refined its own project culture. And in 2003, Sovet partnered with Altherr Lievore Molina's studio to develop its Divetro Collection: a true turning point for the company. The collection represents an ambitious research project with strong contents of formal and technologic innovation, marked by the chic minimalism of Altherr Lievore Molinas studio.
Today, Sovet Italia continues to expand its offering beyond its origins in glass in order to satisfy the requirements of a broader, more demanding market. The company continues to advance its innovative techniques and designs with renowned designers around the world, constantly pushing the boundaries of glass form in the furniture industry.

Additional requirements and considerations
Some functionality may vary, based on the system configuration. Some features may require additional or advanced hardware or server connectivity.
System requirements are rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GB, to be conservative. For example, if we measure an application's required hard disk space to be 1.99 GB, we recommend 2.5 GB of disk space. Our hard disk system requirements are intentionally larger than the actual disk space usage of the software.

Pretty dress
Like the fit, all except for the bulge in the back zipper.I went a size bigger than I normally wear, after I read the reviews of the dress.. I am hoping once I wash the dress it will fit better in the back..I love the length.
Thomasville, PA
Great dress
Great dress. since the sheath dresses tend to run small in the shoulders most of the time, I ordered a size bigger. I wore this dress several times, once with the boyfriend sweater from Chadwicks and once with a sweater I had. Good fit, niece fabric. Got lots of compliments both times on the dress, very figure flattering.( I am slightly busty and small hips and butt. This one dress that can be dressed up or down just by changing, accessories, or/and shoes. Wish it came in black or beige

I love the dress but the back bulged at the zipper. Purchased a size 8. Really wanted to keep the dress but just could't wear it with this bulge poking out of the back of my dress. Possibly the way I am built, 5'7".

The Mini Bookplate Die Set is a set of two steel dies in our A Cut Above product line. This die set is a miniature version of our popularCurvy Bookplate Die. Designed to coordinate with the mini frame in Borderline, the smaller die in this set cuts a 1/16" border around the coodinating stamped image and the larger die perfectly mats the first die.
The dies in this set come connected with a thin strip of metal to keep them all together, but if you wish to use them separately, just snip the little connectors and you'll have 2 separate dies. As with our other dies, this set comes packaged neatly in a vinyl pocket for easy storage and includes plastic alignment tools to help with stamp placement. However, you can easily make your own alignment tool for the dies by running the die set through your machine with a sheet of copy paper. Then just use the alignment holes on the negative (the part left after you remove the die cut shapes) to line the die up with your stamped images.
A Cut Above dies work in most leading diecut machines, including the Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Wizard and Grand Calibur. Click here for suggested sandwich instructions for these machines. For other machines, please consult the manufacturer's recommended settings for thin steel dies.

Male breast cancer is cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a woman's disease, male breast cancer does occur.
Male breast cancer is most common in older men, though male breast cancer can occur at any age.
Men diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early stage have a good chance for a cure. Still, many men delay seeing their doctors if they notice unusual signs or symptoms, such as a breast lump. For this reason, many male breast cancers are diagnosed when the disease is more advanced.
Signs and symptoms of male breast cancer can include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that worry you.
It's not clear what causes male breast cancer. Doctors know that male breast cancer occurs when some breast cells begin growing abnormally. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells do. The accumulating cells form a tumor that may spread (metastasize) to nearby tissue, to the lymph nodes or to other parts of the body.
Everyone is born with a small amount of breast tissue. Breast tissue is made up of milk-producing glands (lobules), ducts that carry milk to the nipples and fat. Women begin developing more breast tissue during puberty and men do not. Because men are born with a small amount of breast tissue, they can develop breast cancer.
Types of breast cancer diagnosed in men include:
Some men inherit mutated genes from their parents that increase the risk of breast cancer. Mutations in one of several genes, especially a gene called BRCA2, put you at greater risk of developing breast and prostate cancers. The normal function of these genes is to help prevent cancer by making proteins that keep cells from growing abnormally. But if they have a mutation, the genes aren't as effective at protecting you from cancer.
Meeting with a genetic counselor and undergoing genetic testing can determine whether you carry gene mutations that increase your risk of breast cancer. Discuss the benefits and risks of genetic testing with your doctor.
Factors that increase the risk of male breast cancer include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you notice any unusual signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor thinks you may have breast cancer, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating cancer (oncologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For male breast cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions that occur to you during your appointment.
If breast cancer is suspected, your doctor may conduct a number of diagnostic tests and procedures such as:
If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, your doctor will work to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Your cancer's stage helps your doctor determine treatment options. Staging tests include blood tests and imaging tests, such as X-ray and computerized tomography (CT).
The stages of male breast cancer are:
To determine your male breast cancer treatment options, your doctor considers your cancer's stage, your overall health and your preferences. Male breast cancer treatment often involves surgery and may also include other treatments.
The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor and surrounding breast tissue. Surgical procedures used to treat male breast cancer include:
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. During radiation therapy for male breast cancer, radiation comes from a large machine that moves around your body, directing the energy beams to precise points on your chest.
In male breast cancer, radiation therapy may be used to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in the breast, chest muscles or armpit after surgery.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy treatment often involves receiving two or more drugs in different combinations. These may be administered through a vein in your arm (intravenously), in pill form or by both methods.
Your doctor may recommend chemotherapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may have spread outside your breast. Chemotherapy may also be an option for men with advanced breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast.
Some breast cancers rely on hormones for fuel. If your doctor determines that your cancer uses hormones to help it grow, you may be offered hormone therapy. Most men with male breast cancer have hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone therapy for male breast cancer often involves the medication tamoxifen, which is also used in women. Other hormone therapy medications used in women with breast cancer haven't been shown to be effective in men.
No alternative treatments for male breast cancer are proved to cure the disease. But some alternative treatments are thought to be helpful when coping with the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment.
Alternative medicine treatments may help you cope with feelings of anxiety and distress, which many people diagnosed with cancer experience. You may experience anxiety and distress from the shock of your diagnosis and from worrying about your future. If you have anxiety and distress, you may have difficulty concentrating and sleeping.
To help you cope, you might consider alternative medicine treatments, such as:
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be shocking and upsetting. With time you'll find ways to cope with the stress and challenges of cancer and cancer treatment. Until then, you might find it helpful to:
To reduce your risk of male breast cancer you can:

These heated gloves earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they generated the most heat and were the most comfortable. On their highest temperature setting, The Best model generated almost twice as much warmth as lesser gloves, and panelists praised them for dispersing heat across the top and bottom of the hand and all fingers. While other models lost power after only 6 1/2 hours, the rechargeable battery in The Best Heated Gloves warmed hands for more than 12 hours on low power (three hours on highest power). Unlike lesser gloves that were found to be stiff and clumsy, The Best Gloves are made with a soft Thinsulate lining and waterproof material that panelists praised as "Very soft inside, flexible outside, making it easy to grab things." Cinches at the wrist keep heat in and cold out, and a zippered, windowed pocket allows easy access to the battery and provides a quick glimpse at the temperature setting. A press of the battery's large button changes the temperature to one of four levels. The 7.4-volt batteries recharge in four hours with included AC adapter. Imported. Unisex sizes S/M (circumference of hand size at knuckles 7 1/2"-9"), L/XL (9-10 1/2"). (7 oz.)
To ensure a proper fit in our gloves, we encourage you to measure your hand to determine your glove size.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Best Heated Gloves come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund. Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

'Spank! A Fifty Shades Parody' doles out theatrical punishment
By Hedy Weiss Theater email@example.com December 1, 2012 12:02AM
Drew Moerlein as Hugh Hanson, Michelle Vezilj as Tasha Woode and Amanda Barker as EB Janet in "SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody."
A Fifty Shades Parody'
When: Through Dec. 16
Where: Royal George Theatre, 1641 N. Halsted
Tickets: $42.50-$52.50
Info: (312) 988-9000;
Updated: January 4, 2013 6:08AM
The greatest act of submission, pain and bondage involved in "Spank: The Fifty Shades Parody" — now receiving the most artless, threadbare production imaginable on the Royal George Theatre's mainstage — is the actual act of sitting through it. Professional responsibility, rather than ropes, handcuffs or other restraints, kept me in my seat for an interminable two hours. It was an excruciating ordeal.
This Mills Entertainment and Just for Laughs co-production is a wholly "unauthorized" spoof inspired by British author E L James' bestselling novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey" — the first volume of what became a trilogy, and was quickly dubbed "Mommy Porn" because of its enthusiastic following among suburban housewives.
As laughable as the source material might be, this show is neither funny, erotic, subversive nor imaginative. A crack trio of Second City improvisers might have taken a good whack at James' story in a 10-minute sketch. But here it is stretched to the tedious breaking point by director and head writer Jim Millan and his team of six additional writers — J.S. Blair, I.M MacIntyre, S.A. Moran, C.J. Munch, A.M Scheffler and I.P. Whalen, whose initial-heavy names suggest a quest for anonymity.
The story? E.B. Janet (the energetic Amanda Barker) is a sexually unsatisfied, self-dramatizing housewife, mother, "account manager" and Web-published writer who has a weekend to herself. So she decides to delve into her fantasies and knock out a bestseller, dreaming up a blank slate of a pretty but self-deprecating 22-year-old virgin, Tasha (Michelle Vezilj) who begins an affair with Hugh (Drew Moerlein, who has a sort of Broadway chorus boy sort of sexuality).
A young billionaire businessman with no interest in romance but a whole lot of extreme sexual tastes, Hugh proceeds to initiate the near moronically malleable Tasha into various forms of sodomy and submission. We learn the finer points of all this because, from time to time — and with wide-eyed guilelessness — Tasha discusses aspects of these activities with members of the audience. Fear not; the most explicit scene in the show is probably the one in which simulated oral sex is accomplished with an electric toothbrush.
Vezilj is an attractive redhead who deftly wills herself dumber than dumb. Her best moment in this on-the-cheap show (with canned music and no set) is when she sings a twist on "I Know Things Now," Little Red Riding Hood's song from the Stephen Sondheim musical, "Into the Woods."
Of course borrowing the work of a genius for use in such an unworthy show might just be grounds for a serious spanking.

Well, it could be anything. A lot of times it's a chord progression [Fig. 1], or just some groove. Around the time we were writing By the Way, I'd always be coming in with chord progressions like that-ones that have a real open, "human" sound to them. Something like that might end up being a section to a song. But sometimes those things don't go anywhere; they just go into the air. And I never remember anything, unless it's a thing I've justbeen doing. So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

New York (CNNMoney) — The technology sector was in focus Monday, as shares of Apple declined and Dell's stock surged.
Apple, which briefly dipped below $500 following reports that the company cut orders for iPhone 5 components due to weak demand, was among the biggest losers in Nasdaq.
Apple's 3.6% decline weighed on the tech-heavy index in earlier trading, but a late-afternoon rally in shares of Dell trimmed some of those losses. Dell climbed nearly 13% following a Bloomberg report that the PC maker was in talks to go private.
The Nasdaq finished down just 0.3%. Earlier, it had fallen nearly 0.7%.
Fellow PC maker Hewlett-Packard also rose sharply on news that it had dethroned Lenovo as the top maker of personal computers. The 4.9% rise in HP's stock helped the Dow Jones industrial average post modest gains. HP shares were also upgraded by an analyst at JPMorgan.
But the broader U.S. market was little changed as investors gear up for a slew of corporate earnings coming this week. The S&P 500 lost 1 point.
Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are due to report their results Wednesday, while Intel, Bank of America and General Electric are up later in the week.
S&P 500 companies are expected to report overall earnings growth of 2.4% for the last three months of 2012, according to FactSet Research, and financial companies are expected to lead the way with earnings growth of more than 15%. In fact, excluding the financial sector, earnings growth for S&P 500 companies is expected to be just 0.2%.
In other corporate news, United Parcel Service Inc scrapped plans for a $6.8 billion merger with TNT Express NV, a smaller Dutch package delivery company. UPS blamed the European Commission for ruining the deal, saying the its antitrust regulator wouldn't allow it.
Swiss watch maker Swatch is buying Hollywood's go-to jeweler, Harry Winston. Shares of the exclusive jeweler's parent company, Harry Winston Diamond Corp., rose 4%, even though the deal won't include its gemstone mining operations.
Shares of Herbalife also rose sharply. Last week, Third Point, the hedge fund founded by Dan Loeb, said it had taken an 8% stake in the nutritional supplement firm. The company has been in the spotlight following accusations by another hedge fund manager, Pershing Square's Bill Ackman, who has called the company "a pyramid scheme."
Flowers Foods shares rose almost 10% after the company announced an offer to buy Wonder, Nature's Pride and three other bread brands from bankrupt Hostess for $360 million. In a separate transaction, Flowers said it would also buy the Beefsteak brand of rye bread for $30 million.
JPMorgan shares fell in after-hours trading following the news that the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued two orders to the bank in response to the London Whale-related loss last year. The regulators are requiring JPMorgan to take corrective action to strengthen its risk management program and finance and internal audit functions, with emphasis on its chief investment office. JPMorgan was also ordered to improve its oversight of money laundering.
Also following the closing bell, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke spoke and took public questions at the University of Michigan.
European markets stocks finished mixed, with the FTSE 100 ending in the red and the Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 rising 0.2%.
Asian markets ended the session higher. The Shanghai Composite added 3.1% after a government official hinted that foreign investment in China's capital markets could be allowed to expand dramatically. Meanwhile, the Hang Seng added 0.6% while Japan's Nikkei was closed for a holiday.
The dollar fell against the euro, but gained ground versus the British pound and the Japanese yen
Oil prices and gold prices rose slightly.
The price on the 10-year Treasury note rose slightly, pushing the yield down to 1.87% from 1.88% late Friday.

Recently, there has been a discussion on the food forum about "simple substitutions." When you're watching your weight, it's important to allow yourself healthful versions of the foods you love in order to avoid feeling deprived. Baked chips, for example, are more healthful alternative to the real deal. Nabisco recently released a new chip alternative with their Garden Harvest line. These toasted chips boast 60% less fat than your standard Lays or Ruffles. The Nabisco website recently offered free samples of these snack aisle newbies, so I decided to give them a try.
I received two individual servings in the mail, Tomato-Basil and Banana chips. Both varieties were quite tasty, yet neither seemed remotely like a potato chip. First of all, I don't recall ever tasting a tomato-ey or banana-ish potato chip. Secondly, the texture was decidedly more cracker-like. Aside from their dissimilarity to chips, these snacks were quite tasty. When I was eating the tomato-basil variety, I felt like I was eating tiny, crispy little pizzas.
The banana flavor was slightly off-putting due to its sweetness. I am accustomed to thinking of chips and crackers as strictly savory. Nevertheless, they were delicious; I can picture crumbling these "chips" into a container of yogurt or non-fat pudding. Garden Harvest chips also come in Vegetable Medley and Apple Cinnamon flavors.
Each 1 ounce serving of Garden Harvest Toasted Chips contains 120 calories, 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of protein. Due to the use of whole grain wheat flour, each serving also contains 3 grams of fiber. As a bonus, noshing on the apple or banana flavors contribute toward your daily fruit servings: 1/2 of a fruit serving for each ounce of the chips. Although these chips don't provide nearly as many benefits as whole fruit does, it's a nice added perk.
I received my samples free, but you can find these chips on the snack aisle at your local grocery. One 6 ounce bag regularly costs $2.99. Another product I liked that was similar to this one is Eat Smart Baked Sweet Potato Crisps.
/* Note from Tanya: "Banana chips" are a very popular snack in Jamaica, where I'm from. It is always a salty type snack made from green (unripe) bananas, so I was also a bit surprised at the flavor when I tried the "sweet" Garden Harvest Chips (probably made from ripe bananas). I prefer the salty version.

You'll notice that most Chinese restaurants in Shanghai have large, round tables. The reason becomes clear the first time you eat a late dinner at a local restaurant and are surrounded by jovial, laughing groups of people toasting and topping off from communal bottles of beer, sharing cigarettes, and spinning the lazy Susan loaded with food. Whether feting guests or demonstrating their wealth, hosts
will order massive, showy spreads.
Shanghai's standing as China's most international city is reflected in its dining scene. You can enjoy jiaozi (dumplings) for breakfast, foie gras for lunch, and Korean beef for dinner. It's traditional to order several dishes to share among your party. Tipping is not expected, but sophistication comes at a price. Although you can eat at Chinese restaurants for less than Y30 per person, Western meals go for Western prices.
Most restaurants in Shanghai offer set lunches—multicourse feasts—at a fraction of the dinner price. Also, check out the dining section of City Weekend, That's Shanghai, Time Out Shanghai, or Smartshanghai.com, all of which list dining discounts and promotions around town.
The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.

1. Goats were first domesticated by man in 10,000 B. C., and were the first animals to be used for milk by humans. Goats were brought to America by Columbus in 1493. A large group of goats is called a herd.2. There are 210 different breeds of goats and over 450 million around the world. China has the most goats with over 170 million.3. The female goat is called a "doe" or a "nanny." The male goat is called a "buck" or a "billy." A baby goat is called a "kid." The act of giving birth for a goat is called "kidding." The doe can have 1 to 6 goats per litter. Does can produce 3 litters of kids every 2 years. A healthy kid can stand within minutes after birth and are able to move with the herd almost immediately.4. Goats do not have teeth in their upper front jaw, but goats have 24 molars. Goats eat browse, grass, and clover. They do not eat tin cans, clothing, or garbage.5. Goats live to be 8 to 12 years old, but in some cases they can live to be 15 years old. They are also very agile and some can jump over 5 feet.6. Goats don't like to get wet and will seek shelter when it's raining.7. Depending on the breed, adult female goats can weigh between 22 to 300 pounds and adult males between 27 to 350 pounds.

A lecture by Yogi Bhajan, June 1970
It is a universal phenomenon that man always seeks union with God. Kundalini Yoga[1] is the yoga of awareness that makes it practical today for the man to be with God. If one can be one-pointed on the Name of God, one can always find God in his heart.
We have eight centers of God consciousness in the body. The lowest is located at the rectum. Second is the sex organ. Third is where these two centers meet when they are pulled together. Then comes the heart center where we can come out of the lower triangle, or our animal nature. That is where love, equality, and service begin. At the next center (fifth chakra, Throat Center), if the consciousness can be pulled to dwell there, man knows the truth. Then above the two eyes is a triangle known as the "third eye," or ajana, where all the knowledge of the past, present, and future is known. Real humility, flow of love, and kindness come through here. And lastly, we have the seventh center at the crown of the head, the highest of all, a lotus petal with a thousand petals in it where you only want to know God, and everything is nothing but God. Your personality and ego are merged into that great Universal personality and Universal ego. While we live as human beings, we can bring together our physical, mental, and spiritual beings, and be God-beings. The circumvent force, the entire force which is the aura around us, the God-light which protects us, is the eighth living center.
Up to this time, in the United States of America, there was no place for people to learn or teach Kundalini Yoga. It is the grace of that Bhagwati, the creative power of God, that now everyone is free to learn this great supposedly secret science. Now there are American teachers who teach this science too. One only bows to that One great God, because we have created channels through which the knowledge, truth, and technical know-how to raise your consciousness from your lower centers of consciousness to the highest can be learned, practiced, and perfected.
We have all material wealth, but there is no contentment. Man wanders from morning until evening, but he does not know that between God and man there is one link only: that is the breath. The breath is the key to the control of one's emotions. One can easily feel that when the breath becomes irregular and shallow, man becomes mentally upset. Therefore if we can practically control the breath in such a way that it is normal and simple and soft, man in behavior will be normal, simple, and soft. In other words, he'll be a happy man.
One thing man forgets which is a reality and truth: Death. We are not permanent on this Earth. We have come here under the command of a Universal force, that cosmic energy; some people call it God. It is that great master computer in which we are all the unit computers, and we are here to perform certain practical duties. All our vibrations are time-clocked into that master computer and our balance sheet is struck every minute. Sometimes, because of our ego, we draw different lines than that of the master plan and we mess up the whole system and society, jeopardizing our own happiness in life. Fortunate are the few who start the day always looking to the vibrations. With each breath they vibrate the Divine Nam, the Name of God, to cleanse themselves, to enrich themselves, and to energetically charge themselves so that they can be positively effective for the whole day.
When the sun energy in the evening is low because Earth is between the man and the sun, man's mentality and consciousness leap towards the low, shallow behavior. At that time, if one has a system to do sadhana, to practice for awhile with these few precious breaths— the Divine Will which prevails through him—to glorify the Name of his Creator; or as a unit computer he tunes into the great master computer, one is saved from the cycle of karma. Let us not cause a cause which shall have a negative effect. Each negative will bounce back on us and shall bring us unhappiness.
Man has to live in love—love which is not lust. Love where there is no possession, no slavery of another person. Love which is a giving. Love which is for the sake of love. Love which lasts forever. Love which is a total sacrifice. Love which is more than the grace of God itself. Love which gives a halo around the face of the person. Love through which one can see God in the eyes of the person. Love with which the body shines, the words become sweet, and the communication is absolutely beautiful. That love for which one sacrifices his own life to save a little bit of injury to another person. That love with which one pleasantly and peacefully takes all the pain in his heart to redeem another fellow being. That love can only flow when one knows how to tune into that universal God.
Some people make it possible to pretend that lust is love. They are really successful for a short while, but when they are caught in the clutches of time and smashed, and time is gone, then they are left alone to pay back their karma ten times.
Man does not know that this world is a restaurant and he has come here to stay only for awhile. And this is a period for liberation. If he will possess whatever he has to possess but will not be possessed by the material things, and not be a slave to them, it will be most beautiful for him to feel free and light and live in love. That is what love is.
Sometimes man behaves even worse than an animal. His attitude is very steadfast, because his ego does not let him feel he is wrong. That not only gives him unhappiness, but it becomes a permanent sore.
Man has to understand that it doesn't take a long time to tune into God's Name, and the flow of that Divine energy will flow through him and he will be filled up to the brim with the love and the light of God. His consciousness will be clear and pure and his animal nature will become helpless right before him. Instead of his being helpless before his animal nature, he will be able to ride his animal nature and travel the distance into the kingdom of God much easier than he can think.
When one can see between lust and love, this discrimination makes him not only a pure being but a Divine being. And the flow of energy from him goes to other channels and brings them out of the negativity. One day this world will be nothing but love, nothing but pleasure, nothing but happiness. Everybody will be happy together; love will flow from one person to another person. Truth will prevail through all and Sat (Truth) shall be the guiding Name for all. And that will be the dawn of the new age—the age of happiness, the age of pleasure, the age of understanding, the age for man to know God within himself. In the love of God men shall dwell under all circumstances as one unit with the constant flow of that energy which they call God. We call Him Cosmos, ever-living, ever together, ever-existing, ever in us. He was, He is, and He shall be.
©The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan
[1] Kundalini comes from the root word kundal in Sanskrit, which means, "the lock of the hair from the beloved." The uncoiling of this "hair" is the awakening of the Kundalini, the unlimited potential that already exists in every human.


text: The Duplicate Girl wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 09/01/13 06:09AM View full history OriginOriginal Triplicate GirlLuornu Durgo was born on the world of Cargg, a planet with three suns, which allowed its Carggite inhabitants the ability to split themselves into three identical bodies. She left her world after hearing of tryouts for the Legion of Super-Heroes, and she had each of her bodies demonstrate her power to the Legion's three founders (Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad) separately. Luornu then surprised them when they gathered to find they had each been approached by the same girl simultaneously. This convinced them to make her their first new Legionnaire recruit, and she joined the team under the code name Triplicate Girl.CreationTriplicate Girl (now Duplicate Girl) was created in 1961 by writer Jerry Siegel (the co-creator of Superman) and artist Jim Mooney. She became the very first Legion recruit following its three founding members, making her the fourth Legionnaire overall and the Legion's second female member (after founding member Saturn Girl).Character EvolutionOriginal Continuity: New EarthDuo Damsel (New Earth)Luornu was the fourth hero to join the Legion of Super-Heroes, and she quickly developed a heavy crush on Superboy. Triplicate Girl later suffered tragedy when Brainiac's robot Computo, went rogue and killed one of Triplicate Girl's bodies. To the surprise of the Legionnaires and traditional Carggite beliefs, Luornu's other two bodies survived without the third. She adopted the codename Duo Damsel, with the ability to split into two forms. She spent time in the 20th century hiding with other Legionnaires from the sorcerer Mordru. It was during this adventure that Lu finally accepted that Superboy would never like her back and she started dating Bouncing Boy.While on mission Lu's other body went to the planet Ikros, where she fell in love with hero Nam'Lor. Lu's separated body who had became evil and calling herself Lelith. Lelith orders Nam'Lor to kill Bouncing Boy, but he refused to do. Nam'Lor figures it out that his "Hyber-Aura" was the cause of Lelith turning evil and he leaves her. The effect of hyber-aura wears off of the other Lu and she returns to normal. The two become one and Lu finds that Lelith's mind is sealed off from herself.Reboot: Earth-247Triad (Earth-247)After the events of Zero Hour, a new continuity was formed on Earth-247. Luornu was a native of Cargg once again, a planet where everyone could split into three identical duplicates with identical personalities. However, Luornu was born different, with each aspect of her clones exhibiting different personalities. She was abandoned by her father and her mother was an alcoholic. She was raised by her grandmother who encouraged the differences between the Luornus. When Lu's grandmother passed away, she went into the custody of the government that frowned upon non-synchronized behavior. Lu was placed in a special institution, almost like an insane asylum, to 'deprogram' the individuality out of Lu's selves. Feeling tortured, she escaped and came across the third richest sentient in the world, R.J. Brande. Brande took pity on Luornu and took her in. He gave her a job as his secretary and legally adopted her.Threeboot: Earth-PrimeTriplicate Girl (Earth-Prime)The Earth-Prime version of Luornu Durgo hailed from the planet of Cargg and was the planet's only survivor following a nuclear war. Plagued with amnesia, she woke up to a post-apocalyptic landscape, leaving no one behind but wild animals. When confronted against a hungry creature, Luornu found herself able to duplicate herself, a natural defense for natives of her homeworld. After she caused the animal to flee, she decided to repopulate the planet with her doppelgangers. Her various bodies each studied different trades from literature she found and with her numbers were able to quickly rebuild her world. Luornu reached the limit of clones she could make and populated Cargg, sometimes combining together to amass the knowledge of every clone and spread it evenly.Retroboot: New EarthDuplicate Girl/Damsel (New Earth)The "Retroboot" returned the Legion to a close approximation of the original team prior to the Five Year Gap. Luornu was once again Duo Damsel and wore her classic DD costume. During the Lightning Saga, one of Duo Damsel's two bodies traveled to the 21st century to join Karate Kid on an assignment. Because her other body was still in the 31st century she couldn't duplicate, so while on the mission she called herself "Una." Tragically, both Una and Karate Kid were killed in action in the 21st century. But when Una died, Luornu's single remaining body in the 31st century somehow received a major power upgrade, gaining the ability to split into any number of bodies. Luornu changed her name to Duplicate Damsel and later to Duplicate Girl. She and her husband Bouncing Boy joined the battle against Superboy-Prime the Legion of Super-Villains, she had just returned from their third honeymoon at the back beaches of Ventura. Luornu remained an instructor at the Legion Academy rather than rejoin the Legion with her newfound powers.Major Story ArcsOriginal Continuity: New EarthMarriage to Bouncing BoyLuornu's weddingWhen Bouncing Boy lost his powers and proposed marriage to her. They became the Legion's first married couple. At the wedding, Luornu other body is kidnapped by Starfinger and Lu loss her powers due to Starfinger boss went her power for himself. His plan was foiled and two selves are reunited. After the ceremony, both Chuck and Lu resigned from the Legion and became Legion reservists. (Because of Legion bylaws, married Legionnaires could not serve full-time.) Lu and Chuck returned off and on helped out Legion's on many missions. She was part of Legion Espionage Squad, a special squad of the Legion that took covert missions. She then decided to become teacher with Chuck and ran the Legion Academy, a school designed to train prospective Legion members. They enjoyed the Academy so much that when the Legion Constitution changed to allow married couples, they opted to stay reserves.Losing Another BodyYears later, Luornu and Chuck helped form a new Legion of Substitute Heroes with the retired Cosmic Boy and Night Girl. When Superboy from the Pocket Universe was killed by the Time Trapper, Duo Damsel was devastated. She joined a conspiracy with other Legion members, including Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5 and Mon-El. They made a pact to break the Legion code and kill the Time Trapper. In the ensuing battle, Duo Damsel lost another duplicate and was left powerless with a single body. She continued on as an instructor at the Legion Academy but decided her fighting days were behind her after losing two of her selves, rejecting Brainiac 5's gift of a force field belt so that she could continue being a heroine.Five Years LaterLuornu Durgo (Five Years Later)The Legion Academy had become the United Planets Military Academy after the Legion disbanded. Luornu and Chuck remained instructors with several of their former students despite the change. When the Legion reformed, they continued to assist their friends where they could but were usually busy with other duties in assisting the U.P. militia. One day, Luornu was kidnapped in the middle of the night and Chuck had to go to the Legion for help. Several other people had gone missing too - all Legionnaires who had been party to the conspiracy years ago. Glorith, who had reshaped the timeline with her as the Time Trapper, was now the villain the Legion had conspired to kill in that continuity. They had unknowingly failed, Glorith using her age-altering powers to restore herself as well as Luornu's second body, which acted as her soldier. Luornu was eventually set free thanks to her second body turning on Glorith. During this adventure, Luornu also discovered that she had force field powers - the belt Brainy had given her years ago had internalized them in her just to be safe. Safe and sound, Luornu returned home with her second body and a new super power. Still, she opted to remain with the U.P. militia.Reboot: Earth-247Joining the LegionAfter Brande was saved from an attempted robbery from three super-powered people, he decided to create a legion of heroes and asked Luorno to track each of those three super-powered people. After she did, she aided them in helping to clear the United Planet assembly hall during a terrorist attack. Her actions that day inspired the founding Legionnaires to invite her to be one of their first recruits as Triad. Luornu was a stalwart member, serving consistently with the team save for a period of time where she had to recover from wounds dealt by bigoted White Triangle members. When several Legionnaires were stranded in the 20th century, Triad willing became stranded with them when the two teams of Legionnaires met up later in order to bring Cosmic Boy important medical equipment to save his life. She returned with the stranded Legionnaires later and served until the team was disbanded by the government after a stargate tragedy cost half the team.Running R.J. Brande's BusinessLuornu head of R.J. Brande's businessDuring the year without a Legion, R.J. Brande went into hiding and Luornu took over his business. She handled the responsibility surprisingly well and helped cover for R.J. as he secretly set out to build Legion World and assemble the future of his team of heroes. When the Legionnaires thought dead resurfaced later from a lost galaxy, Triad was quick to come to their aid and reorganized the Legion of Super-Heroes with the others. Due to her great ability at multi-tasking, she often took charge of Legion World's communication hub. She continued to serve with the team until the end of Earth-247, where the Legionnaires were lost in the timestream. Following an adventure where the Legions of three different worlds came together, Triad and her fellow Legionnaires decided to venture the Multiverse as the new Wanderers to help others without a time and home.Threeboot: Earth-PrimeJoining the LegionIn time, Cargg was visited by members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Three clones, combining into one, decided to leave with them, to investigate the United Planets and the Legion as well. They took the codename Triplicate Girl. She was a member of the Legion for a year, enjoying adventures and trying new things, before she returned to her home planet. However, when Triplicate Girl reached Cargg, her other selves found her too unfamiliar. They refused to assimilate with Triplicate Girl, making her feel lost. She returned to the Legion, serving stalwartly and dating Element Lad until she and Karate Kid were approached in the middle of a mission by persons unknown. They pleaded the two heroes to come with them quickly, weighing their work in their own time with the peril their visitors faced. Whatever it was, Triplicate Girl and Karate Kid agreed to go with their visitors. The storyline was never resolved before the title was canceled.Triplicate Girl showed a great deal of loyalty to the Legion's first leader, Cosmic Boy. She had gone on dates with various Legionnaires, including Sun Boy, Element Lad, and Ultra Boy, simply to divine information from them for Cos.Powers and AbilitiesDuplicationLuornu using her duplication powersTriplicate Girl (Original Continuity): As Triplicate Girl, Luornu had the natural Carggite ability to split herself into three identical bodies. When she assimilated back together, she gained the knowledge that each body had experienced while separated. Though her three bodies were shown to bicker on occasion, they were generally portrayed as being completely harmonious with each other.Duo Damsel (Original Continuity): After one of her bodies was murdered by Computo, Luornu could only split into two identical bodies. To reflect this loss, she changed her name to Duo Damsel and her costume's orange/purple color scheme became split down the middle. Her ability to survive and fully operate despite the loss of her third body was considered unique among her race and she retained full membership in the Legion.Una (Original Continuity): Near the end of original Legion continuity, Luornu's second body was destroyed in a battle with one the Legion's greatest enemies, the Time Trapper. Though once again she defied the odds and survived the loss of yet another body, with only one body remaining she was essentially powerless. She changed her code name to Una and resigned from active duty.Triad (Earth-247): Unlike other incarnations, the reboot (Earth-247) Triad's bodies manifested three separate and distinct personalities who shared a mental and physical link, which was considered highly unusual among Carggites. One personality was her "normal" self, the second was aggressive and extroverted, and the third was shy and introverted. Because of her separate personalities she preferred to remain in triplicated form. At one point each body also manifested very different physical characteristics to reflect their different personalities (though they still had the same facial features): The aggressive one became unusually tall and strong, the shy one became much smaller and faster, and the "normal" personality remained the same size.Triplicate Girl (Earth-Prime): The "threeboot" Luornu was different from other incarnations, in that while on her home planet of Cargg she could apparently create an unlimited number of duplicates. However, she could not duplicate once off the planet. Eventually three of her bodies decided to combine into one body and leave the planet, since in this manner she could still split into three separate bodies while away from Cargg. The result was that this Luornu essentially had the same powers as the Triplicate Girl of original continuity, despite a notably different origin. However, the vast number of Luornu duplicates still remaining on Cargg rejected assimilation with the Triplicate Girl Luornus when they tried to return home, leaving Triplicate Girl on her own and completely isolated from her native Carggite bodies.Duplicate Girl/Damsel (Retroboot): Luornu finally received a major power upgrade in current Legion continuity. She now has the power to split herself into an apparently endless number of identical bodies no matter where she is. It is not yet known if there is any upper limit to her duplication ability. To reflect her newfound power she changed her code name to Duplicate Damsel and then to Duplicate Girl, though she still wears a variation of her classic 1970's Duo Damsel costume.Unarmed CombatIn all of her forms, Luornu has mastered a specialized Carggite form of martial arts called Trijitsu, which was developed by her people to take full advantage of three forms fighting simultaneously. Now that she can create an unlimited number of duplicates as Duplicate Girl, Lournu can fight like a virtual army acting in concert, making her a truly formidable opponent.EquipmentAs a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Duplicate Girl possesses a Legion Flight Ring. The ring gives its wearer the ability to fly, the speed and range of which is determined by the wearer's willpower. It also acts as a long-range communicator (enabling constant vocal contact with other Legionnaires, even across vast distances of space), a signal device, and a navigational compass, all powered by a micro-computer built inside the ring.Physical CharacteristicsHeight: 5' 6"Weight: 130 lbsEyes: Brown (left), Violet (right)Hair: BrownOther VersionsFive Years Later: Batch SW6Triad (Batch SW6)After the Five Year Gap, a younger version of Luornu mysteriously appeared, along with younger versions of all the Legion characters. They were initially called "Batch SW6" since they were believed to be Dominator-created clones of the early Legion. Unlike the current Luornu, who was now Duo Damsel, this younger Luornu still had her third body and the codename Triplicate Girl. It was later revealed that Batch SW6 were time-paradox duplicates of the Legion, rather than clones. The younger Luornu and her teammates went on to become the protectors of New Earth, calling themselves the Legionnaires and starring in their own series with that title. To further differentiate herself from the original Luornu, the SW6 Luornu changed her codename to Triad (a name which carried over to Reboot continuity) and changed her costume. She served with the team until Zero Hour, when the elder Luornu and Triad merged together to help right the timestream and create a new future alongside their respective teammates (this new future became the Earth-247 Reboot reality).Triplicate"Triplicate" was a Bizarro version of the character, who could split herself into three pieces of her body.Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st CenturyTriplicate Girl appeared in several issues Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century.Multiple Maid/MyriadIn a DC/Marvel crossover series, Multiple Maid was an amalgamation of Triplicate Girl and the Marvel character Multiple Man, who also has the power of duplication. She was a member of the Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099. She later became known as Myriad.Castles In the AirLuornu: Castles In the AirLournu and her two duplicate bodies appeared as a trio of priestesses in the Elseworlds story Castles in the Air, published in Legionnaires Annual #1. In this reality, the Legion became a futuristic version of Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. The three Luornus wore medieval-style robes patterned after the Earth-247 Triad costume, but rather than being identical, each of the three robes featured a different design.Superboy's LegionTriplicate Girl: Superboy's LegionTriplicate Girl appeared as a member of the Legion in Superboy's Legion, an Elseworlds reality in which Superboy arrived on Earth in the 30th century, rather than the 20th. This reality's Luornu closely resembled the original version of Triplicate Girl and wore a variation of the original purple miniskirt & orange cape costume.Other MediaTelevisionSuperman: The Animated SeriesTriplicate Girl, wearing her Earth-247 Triad costume, was depicted among several Legionnaires in the 30th century in the Superman: The Animated Series episode New Kids in Town. She only had a cameo appearance with no lines.Legion of Super-Heroes Animated SeriesTriplicate Girl (LSH Animated Series)Triplicate Girl appeared as a regular character in the Legion of Super-Heroes animated series. She was voiced by actress Kari Wahlgren. Unlike the comic book version, animated Triplicate Girl had hair that was three different colors -- orange, purple, and white -- and when she triplicated, each separate body had one of the three colors, with a matching costume. During the first season, she became Bouncing Boy's biggest cheerleader and was overjoyed when he was elected leader.In the second season, her white third body was 'erased' due to a temporal accident on an adventure in the 40th century. Luornu took the loss of her third body hard, even brushing aside concern from Bouncing Boy at times. Luornu changed her code name to Duo Damsel and her appearance changed to reflect her mourning. The white in her hair and costume became black. Later that season the time stream was corrected and the white third body returned, to the delight of the other two.

In the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of March World Champions Mark Trotter and Carl van Roon were invited by Master Willy van de Mortel to conduct a two day seminar in the south of the Netherlands. Master Van de Mortel knows Mr. Trotter and Mr. Van Roon well from his period in New Zealand where he was involved in the development of free sparring in New Zealand. Both Mr. Trotter and Mr. Van Roon were among the first ones who obtained a World Championships title for their country.
On Friday they were picked up by from the train station in Eindhoven by Master Van de Mortel. For them it was quit cold over here.
On Saturday morning the first session started off with 40 participants of all ages and degrees, among them were members of the Dutch and Belgium national team. We had the honor to have Sabum Yves Pollefeyt (Belgium national team head coach), Sabum Virginia Dionisi (Belgium national team tul coach), and Hans Rombaut (medalist on European and World Championships) present at this seminar.
Then Mr. Mark Trotter proceeded with competition patterns. He gave advice on several aspects such as kicking with actual power rather than just 'placing the leg' in the right kicking position just to look beautiful. This included a series of creative exercises to obtain this effect, and also extended into practical advice on how to forge techniques with real Martial arts spirit within patterns.
After lunch Mr. Van Roon continued coaching free sparring and in this session he focused on investigating on how we can deliver lead leg kicking techniques with more efficiency, to prevent telegraphing our intentions.
Mr. Mark Trotter in his second session covered aspects of pre-arranged sparring. The participants had to form duos and come up with a routine of six movements in normal motion. After they done so, Mr. Trotter showed how to create more interest in a performance by changing the rhythm of the movements. The participants also saw bits and pieces of the new pre-arranged sparring routine of the two champions for the next World Championships in October in Spain.
At the end of the first day all participants had the opportunity to take some pictures with these two champions.
On Sunday morning Mr. Carl van Roon and Mr. Mark Trotter started off with a warming-up combined with a sparring session. There were some original and very funny exercises. This created a good atmosphere for the rest of the day. On this Sunday the group was a bit smaller and this resulted in more personal attention for the participants.
After lunch it was time for the special technique session, with the emphasis on using basic principles of biomechanics to maximize each individual's potential to perform jumping kicking techniques. The participants were able to absorb the information provided by Mr. Van Roon and they made significant progress in both the heights they could hit as well as the beauty of their kicking techniques.
After the second day all participants had theopportunity to make some pictures with them. All participants also received a poster with the champions in action.
After the seminar Mr. Trotter and Mr. Van Roon each went their way. Mr. Van Roon had a flight back to New Zealand and Mr. Trotter went to Scotland to visit multiple World Champion Miss Julia Cross. Next weekend he will compete in a tournament in Ireland. Good luck Mark!
I would like to thank them both for their excellent teaching and friendship and I would also like to thank everybody who was present at this event.
Hopefully we will have a chance to train with the "GOLD DIGGERS" again sometime soon!

Hyundai Sonata Windows Fogging
I just bought a 2007 Sonata. I love it so far. However, on the way to work this morning, my windows were really, really fogged up. Even with the defrost pumping full blast, the back windows remained fogged. Is this a known problem? Thanks.
ray_h1 Posts: 1,134Which trim level Sonata? The "GLS" and "SE" trim level Sonatas have a manually controlled heating/air conditioning system. In those, pressing the button for the AC compressor will clear the window fogging, though you might have to adjust the heat control knob to a warmer setting to keep the chill off. In the "Limited"'s trim level, cycling the AC compressor occurs automatically since those models have automatic climate control. It's possible your in-glass defroster in the rear glass is defective or isn't connected properly to its switch (Hey, some happy-merry worker who got especially happy-merry the previous Sunday night on some 100 proof Andong soju might've missed a step when your car came sailing down the production line... ). It's also possible you pressed the windshield defroster switch ("curved" top and bottom shaped icon which delivers warmed air to the windshield) instead of the rear window defroster switch ("straight" top and bottom shaped icon which acivates the in-glass defroster grid in the rear glass).
ray_h1 Posts: 1,134)) "The a/c compressor runs in both defroster modes on my '07 GLS. FYI" ((
Then for whatever reason, excessively humid air is being processed. If you're operating the system with fresh air entry, reset the controls to "recirculate" mode. If you're already doing that, then it's time for a trip to the dealer to find and correct an extraneous air or (shudder!) coolant leak into the heater core casing. Check the drain hose from the heater core casing underneath the car - if it's plugged, condensation won't drain and you'll also end up with fogged windows regardless how you manipulate the HVAC controls. FYI -
bhmr59 Posts: 1,598One other thought. I really need to climb in back and clean the inside of the rear window. "Normally" it's OK. But on a damp or rainy day it appears quite fogged unless/until I turn on the rear window defroster.
A good "windex" of all interior glass may do the trick--or not. Even though your car is new, it may have "stuff" (a film) on the glass. -
craigbrooks Posts: 420
molina99 Posts: 1I have a sonata 2009 always during damp weather (summer or winter) or in the morning both lateral windows get condensations and fog blocking my rear vision in my lateral mirrors. It tried air conditioning, using fresh air and also recycled air without any success. The only thing that works is if I pump the heater to the max but if the weather outside is 85 degrees you feel like you are in an oven.
What do you think the problem might be?

If you got into this game before starting or finishing the books, theres a pretty good chance you had some plot points spoiled for you.
One of the worst ones for me was Make an Example:
I was 3 or 4 chapters away from Eddard's beheading when i was looking intently at this card. When i realized who's head it was i was so pissed, i decided to not play the game until i finished the books. That didnt last long though, the games too good and i'm too slow at reading instead, i just tried not to look too hard at the pictures or the flavor text while i played. Anyone else have stuff ruined by cards?
