Park Information
Park Alerts for Myakka River State Park
In an effort to better serve park visitors we are planning a major renovation of the historic Civilian Conservation Corps cabins. Improvements will include raising the cabins above the flood stage, new pine wood floors, new appliances, and repairs throughout. These improvements will prevent unexpected closures in the summer months, and enhance the overall visitor experience. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin November 1, 2014 and should be completed by Spring 2016. We apologize for the inconvenience but the long needed renovations will be worth the wait. Please contact the park for further information at (941) 361-6511. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Welcome to Myakka River State Park
One of the oldest and largest state parks, Myakka protects one of the state´s most diverse natural areas. The Myakka River, designated as a Florida Wild and Scenic River, flows through 58 square miles of wetlands, prairies, hammocks, and pinelands. Visitors can enjoy wildlife viewing from a boardwalk that stretches out over the Upper Myakka Lake, then take to the treetops with a stroll along the canopy walkway. The park´s river and two lakes provide ample opportunities for boating, freshwater fishing, canoeing, and kayaking; a boat ramp provides access to Upper Myakka Lake. Hikers can explore trails that cross large expanses of rare Florida dry prairie. Scenic lake tours are offered daily on the world´s two largest airboats. Safari tram tours of the park´s backcountry are offered from mid-December through May. Full-facility campgrounds and primitive campsites are available. Five palm log cabins, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, have been modernized for comfortable lodging. Located nine miles east of Sarasota on State Road 72.

Games and Movies
Taking into account that this is a 2.1 system, I'll keep it brief here since I cannot test any surround attributes this system may possess.
This system would be best suited toward gaming. Due to boosted midrange and a narrow band of bass being produced, I think gamers will find it the most useful, as they tend to focus on different performance aspects than music listeners or movie buffs.
Unfortunately for movie viewing the bass is really quite a limiting factor and would certainly detract from the experience due to the quite diminutive woofer chosen to be used.
Although at softer volume levels you could still watch a couple of movies, just don't turn the dial too much when the action heats up.

Jan. 25, 2012 The University of Minnesota baseball team will hold the 18th annual Pro-Alumni & Legends Game on Saturday, Feb. 4 at 3 p.m., in the HHH Metrodome. The 2012 game marks the first in two years and the second time since 2007. The event was canceled last season due to the Dome roof collapse.

The Pro-Alumni & Legends team will be highlighted by current Major Leaguers Glen Perkins (Minnesota Twins-2006-11) and Jack Hannahan (current team Cleveland Indians, 2011). John Gaub, a 2011 September call up for the Chicago Cubs and the third Gopher to play in the Majors last year, will also be attending. Hall of Famer Paul Molitor will serve as the manager for the Pro-Alumni Team. Former Major Leaguer Greg Olson (Minnesota - 1989; Atlanta 1990-93) and former Gopher great Mark Merila (1991-94) will also be part of the Pro-Alumni coaching staff. * Current athletes' affiliations are 2011 unless noted the year

My company just purchased a new program, and I need HELP!. I was using the 30 day free trial of MEP 2013 and was just getting to know it and I asked them to purchase that particular program. I am not sure what they purchased, (I am working on site and the office went ahead and purchased and installed program). They sent computer out to me with Autocad 2013 (I believe they mentioned "suite" to me) it has Autodesk design Review
I do not even know these programs but regardless I went into the autocad 2013 to start drawing and I do not even see how to start drwg pipe. There is no pipe palette to even draw from. Am I missing something or did they purchase the wrong product?
please hurry, not getting any work done until I figure this out....Thank you
sounds like thay bought building design suite ultimate but didn't install the whole suite
you need to confirm with who ever bought it
you just have autocad installed and not autocad mep

Ralph R. Armstrong had a passion for his community, family and mankind.
Armstrong's wife, Mary Frances Armstrong, is a past chairperson for the Bradley County Election Commission.
The Armstrongs were married for 54 years.
"His passions were reading, history, World War I and WWII. He was a big supporter of Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital and he loved to work on the old house on Centenary Avenue," according to Reedy.
"He restored the home himself with occasional help but most of the work on the home he did himself, [including] removal of paint to restore original woodwork on the inside of the home, removal of layers of wallpaper," she added.
According to Reedy, the home is the oldest on Centenary Avenue.
Armstrong was raised on a farm in Knoxville and "came from very humble beginnings. He told me of stories about the Depression, when there was no food on the table," Reedy said.
Armstrong had seven brothers and sisters, all of whom preceded him in death.
Armstrong maintained law offices in Chattanooga and Cleveland.
He worked alongside Eric as well as Amy prior to her judge's appointment and election.
"Eric and I both worked for him in a clerk position in our early years (20s) serving process and doing investigative assignments," said Reedy.
"The characteristics of my father that affected me the most would be his hard work ethic. He lived within his means, he was not a hypocrite, he was humble and sincere, and he always told me not to argue with fools or they would wonder who the fool was," Reedy said. "He was very conservative in the manner in which he lived his life. Dad never missed a chance to be charitable in a quiet way. He never let his left hand know what his right hand was doing for a brother or organization in need. One of the last things Dad said to Eric and I on June 3, was 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life.' Dad was a Bible reader. The week before he died he told me when I asked him if there was anywhere in the world he could go where would it be ... he said 'Heaven.'"
Armstrong was a graduate of the University of Tennessee and earned a Juris Doctorate degree at the UT School of Law. He was a member of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity; served in the U.S. Naval Reserve and Army ROTC at the University of Tennessee; was a practicing attorney and member of the Hamilton County Bar Association; and was a former member of the Lions Club. He resided in Cleveland.
He is survived by Mary Frances Armstrong, wife of 54 years; a son, Eric Shelton Armstrong and his wife, Lisa; a daughter, Amy Armstrong Reedy and her husband, Bill; and grandson Wyatt Armstrong Reedy.
A small memorial service will be held Friday at 1 p.m. at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church with the Rev. Robert Smith officiating. The family will receive friends from noon until service time.
The family requests that donations be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 2151, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38101-2151.
His body was donated to the University Of Tennessee School Of Medicine in Memphis.

Brass Ensemble, Jazz Combo, and Men's Ensemble in Concert Tuesday |
The Limestone College Music Department will showcase its Brass Ensemble, Jazz Combo, and Men's Ensemble during a concert this Tuesday (April 3rd) evening. The concert, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Fullerton Auditorium. According to Dr. Gena Poovey, Professor of Music and Chair of Limestone's Music Department, the concert is an opportunity to watch and hear artists who normally perform at other events. "These incredibly talented performers are very popular at Limestone events such as Christmas on Campus and at events throughout Cherokee County, but on Tuesday evening they will take center stage," she said. "During their performances away from Limestone, they are normally limited to just a few songs but on Tuesday the audience will have a wonderful opportunity to hear their full repertoire." |

This past October, five NYC-area schools shared a $125,000 donation from LeapFrog to fund the installation of the LeapTrack Assessment and Instruction System; included were P.S. 44 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and P.S. 399 in Flatbush. To choose the schools, LeapFrog SchoolHouse partnered with the NYC Board of Education, administration and participating principals to identify the most at-risk schools, representing low-income, free and reduced lunch, and special needs students. Donations were made in the hopes of "closing the achievement gap." "We wanted to leverage it for kids whose parents aren't in the economic position to buy one of these things," says Maureen Gravioli, director of product marketing for LeapFrog SchoolHouse. Gravioli touts the accessibility of the products. "They run on batteries and they're portable," she says. "You don't need to have the wizard behind the curtain helping you figure out how to work it. You put the headphones on and press 'go'." While Leapfrog SchoolHouse has been in NYC for almost three years, only in the past 6-9 months has the core program been adapted on a large scale. This expansion is due in part to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the controversial education reform law designed to improve academic achievement with a focus on low-performing schools. NCLB asks that schools accommodate more special ed students, as well as boost their English language development and after-school programs. Leapfrog SchoolHouse aims to provide tools that address these concerns. Perhaps the most widely used and successful of these tools is the LeapTrack System. Its primary function is to help teachers effectively manage a large range of skill levels — a challenge in overcrowded urban classrooms. Here's how it works: Children use personal desktop LeapPads or Quantum Pads, complete with headphones and stylus, to work on standardized tests and other level-appropriate exercises. When they are finished, the teacher removes a cartridge from the LeapPad that records student data. The cartridge is then plugged into the teacher's computer, where results are formatted into reports that gauge student performance against state standards. From there, teachers can prescribe a "learning path" with specialized content based on individual strengths and weaknesses. LeapTrack's formalized reports also serve a secondary purpose: They help schools to meet the NCLB requirement that the state be provided with assessments of every public school student's progress in reading and math from grades 3-8. At P.S. 44 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, principal Deborah Knight is optimistic about what LeapTrack can do for her students. "I hope it helps children to become independent," she says. "I hope it helps them with reading fluency and gives them strategies to use when they come across tricky language." When Knight first learned of the grant, "I told them I wasn't going to accept it because I couldn't have my teachers go through any more training," she says. "They were already overwhelmed." Happily, Knight and LeapFrog SchoolHouse were able to devise a plan that would allow students to benefit from the products without putting added stress on staff: They got the parents involved. LeapTrack has now been added to the school's Saturday Family Literacy Program, where kids and parents work together on LeapTrack material, taking pressure off teachers. "Children enjoy it," says Knight. "They like the fact that they have their own individual component to work from. The fact that they get feedback right away is very positive. And parents are pleased!" Soon, LeapTrack will be a part of P.S. 44's literacy intervention program for grades 2 and 3. Also in the works is the installation of Language First! for students learning English as a second language. "What we're waiting for is laptops from the Board of Ed," says Knight. (Teachers need their own computers to supervise the LeapTrack system). Interestingly, Knight had never heard of LeapFrog before receiving the grant. "I wasn't really familiar with LeapFrog, then I found out from many staffers or parents, 'Oh, I bought that for my niece or nephew or daughter,'" she says. Currently, 43 percent of P.S. 44 students are on or above grade level. "Our literacy is getting better, but we're not yet where we want to be," says Knight. "LeapFrog is just another dimension to help us move in the right direction."

A Price Guide to Liposuction
Cosmetic surgeries are slowly becoming as common as facials and manicures. In present day, more and more people are willing to undergo cosmetic surgeries to improve their appearance. Liposuction is among one of the most common cosmetic surgeries today. When cosmetic surgeries first became popular in the eighties, the cost of such procedures was so high that only the rich and famous people could afford it. Two decades down the road, the prices of such surgeries are now just a fraction of what it once was.
Nevertheless, cosmetic surgeries today are by no means cheap. Depending on a variety of factors, the cost could run from $2000 to $20000 for the exact same surgery. Before we make any expensive purchases, we would usually do some research on where we can get the best bargains. Since liposuction (and many other cosmetic surgeries) are not only expensive but carries with in many health risks, it pays to do a little more research before we undergo the surgery. Here are some of the factors that influence the price of a liposuction procedure.
1.The Doctor: The doctor that you choose to perfume the procedure is one of the major factors that influence the price of the surgeries. Very experienced doctors that have great track records and famous clients can cost five to ten times more than the average doctor. Depending on your budget, it is always worthwhile to go for reputable doctors if you can afford it
2.Locality. The location of the hospital or medical establishment is also another factor that influences the cost of liposuction. To quote an obvious example, the cost of liposuction in New York City would definitely be much more expensive than in a city like Tulsa. The standards of living in a particular place greatly influences the price of the procedure
3.Body Area. The area of your body where you would like for the excess fat to be removed is a major factor as well. The cost of liposuction on your cheeks and neck is much more expensive than the cost of removing excess fat from your chest and abdomen. The amount of fat that wants to be removed is also a factor to be considered.
4.Type of Surgery. Today, there are many types of liposuction procedures, all with varying price tags. Some of the more common procedures include laser liposuction and tumescent liposuction. The type of anesthesia used would also make a big difference in the cost of the surgery.

App Chat: Dr. Dre launches new music streaming service
Elsa/Getty Images
Producer and musician Dr. Dre and Interscope and Geffen Records chairman Jimmy Iovine are on the field before the Boston Red Sox take on the the New York Yankees on April 4, 2010 during Opening Night at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.
You would think that music streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and iTunes Radio would provide enough listening choices to sate the average consumer.
But a new player is on the scene.
This week Dr. Dre, longtime record producer and rap impresario, launched Beats Music.
If the Beats brand sounds familiar, it's because a couple of years ago, Dre entered the saturated headphone market - and took it over with Beats-branded accessories.
He effectively turned headphones into high fashion.
The question now is whether Beats Music will be able to thrive in the saturated music streaming market.
Joining us to discuss Dre's new venture is Joanna Stern - personal technology columnist with the Wall Street Journal.

Governor Chris Christie has postponed Halloween until Monday, November 5.
Residents of Wall Township should be prepared to be without water for a few days.
A helicopter tour yesterday of New Jersey's coastal areas devastated by Superstorm Sandy had Governor Chris Christie emotional, angry, defiant and hopeful.
Fires that destroyed about 14 homes in Mantoloking that were hit hard by Sandy have rekindled, fueled by natural gas.
Hurricane Sandy, after killing at least 69 people in the Caribbean, streamed northward, merged with two wintry weather systems and socked the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes with wind, waves, rain and snow. Some figures associated with Sandy's rampage through the U.S., as of Tuesday evening.
New Jersey state offices will remain closed for a third day on Wednesday in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
The number of power outages in New Jersey from hybrid storm Sandy has dropped to 2.3 million.
President Barack Obama will travel to storm-stricken New Jersey on Wednesday to view damage from the massive storm that struck the East Coast and to thank first responders.
A trip to the New Jersey shore may not be the same for years; see for yourself with amazing video from the New Jersey Air National Guard.
The entire length of the Garden State Parkway has reopened.
New York City awakened Tuesday to a flooded subway system, shuttered financial markets and hundreds of thousands of people without power a day after a wall of seawater and high winds slammed into the city, destroying buildings and flooding tunnels.

We are more focused on the execution of these policies as a result of this inspection and thank our valued customers for their understanding."

It's debatable whether there is a character on Tom Hanks' CV more, well, Hanksian than Larry Crowne, an affable team-leader at a discount warehouse that gets downsized.
Little wonder that the actor (co-scripting with Nia Vardalos of My Big Fat Greek Wedding fame) developed Larry as the hero of his second film as director.
Like his first, That Thing You Do!, Larry Crowne is an upbeat tale that won't ruffle any feathers – even if it flirts with recession and repossession.
Despite making Employee-of- the-Month nine times in a row, Larry is out of luck when his bosses use his lack of university education to give him the chop.
Already divorced, and with mortgage payments mounting, he decides to head back to college. Swapping his gas-guzzler for a scooter (that makes him look like Wallace without Gromit), he signs up for a public speaking class taught by one Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts), who dents the pain of her joyless marriage with copious margaritas. You don't need a crystal ball...
The characterisations are similarly uncomplicated: Larry is the good egg, beloved by all, while Mercedes clacks around in heels looking sour.
Truly, there isn't much more to Larry Crowne than that. As ever, Cedric the Entertainer tries and fails to live up to his name as Larry's shrewd yard-sale-obsessed neighbour.
There's a nice cameo from George Takei as the economics teacher (who knew that Mr Sulu had such a manic laugh?). And Hanks keeps things chirpy and clipped, until that all-too-obvious finale.
As lightweight as a salad and about as filling, this is amiable but predictable. Tom and Julia are as solid as ever but, like Hanks' direction, they won't be winning any awards.

Vigorous physical activity may reduce risk of diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding among men
Research Activities, December 2009, No. 352
It has been known for some time that physical activity may reduce the risk of colon cancer and a number of other gastrointestinal disorders by decreasing colon transit time, inflammation, and pressure. Now a new study shows that vigorous physical activity can reduce the risk of diverticular bleeding and diverticulitis by more than a third.
Diverticulosis is the condition of having small pouches (diverticula) in the lining of the large intestine that bulge outward through weak spots, which can cause cramps or discomfort in the lower abdomen, bloating, and constipation. Diverticulitis refers to inflammation of the diverticula, which can cause symptoms ranging from cramping, nausea, and vomiting to fever, diarrhea, or constipation.
A team led by Lisa L. Strate, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Washington, examined the physical activity of 48,000 men over an 18-year period. Those engaging in vigorous physical activity had a 34 percent reduction in the risk of diverticulitis and a 39 percent reduction in the risk of diverticular bleeding when compared with men who did not exercise vigorously. This reduction in risk occurred in a group who engaged in at least 28 MET-h/week of vigorous physical activity (equivalent to 3 hours of running). One MET is defined as the energy expended by a 70 kg adult while at rest. Activities assigned a MET score of 6 or greater were classified as vigorous. The MET score was multiplied by the duration of activity in hours and expressed in MET-h/week. Running was the only specific activity associated with a significantly decreased risk of diverticulitis. This finding contrasts to many other medical disorders, for which walking and other moderate activities help reduce risks.
Study patients were participants in the Health Professionals Follow up Study, who were free of diverticulosis or its complications at baseline (1986). In the period 1986-2004, the researchers identified 800 incident cases of diverticulitis and 383 cases of diverticular bleeding. The patients' physical activity levels were assessed on a biennial basis. Average weekly time spent in various recreational activities was measured according to 13 different categories. The activities included walking, jogging, running, bicycling, lap swimming, tennis, squash or racquet ball, calisthenics, rowing, and using a stair climber or ski machine. Each activity was assigned a MET score based on energy expenditure. Other risk factors such as sedentary behavior, diet, medication use, and body mass index were also measured.
The study was supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS14062). See "Physical activity decreases diverticular complications," by Dr. Strate, Yan L. Liu, M.S., Walid H. Aldoori, M.D., and Edward L. Giovannucci, M.D., Sc.D. in the American Journal of Gastroenterology 104, pp. 1221-1230, 2009.

Zack Greinke became something of a nerd cult hero when he won the Cy Young award in 2009 despite a meagre win total, due in large part to playing for the hapless Kansas City Royals. Greinke grew from "good cause" to "ONE OF US!" Internet cause célèbre when he paid some sweet lip service to the value of DIPS theory, telling the New York Times he tried to "keep his FIP as low as possible."
The good people at Baseball Analytics pointed out last week that, perhaps, Greinke takes his devotion to FIP and fear of walking hitters a little too far. Their sweet heat maps show Greinke as a pitcher who simply refuses to walk anyone.
Three home runs allowed yesterday to go with seven strikeouts and zero walks? Looks like Zack Greinke's reputation precedes him.
Greinke lasted only five innings Sunday due to his pitch count and the solo home runs which plagued him, keeping the game close enough that Brewers manager Ron Roenicke pulled his starter with the game tied. Outside his gopher balls, Greinke dominated the Diamondbacks, getting 16 swinging strikes in just 86 pitches.
Saying Greinke struggled is a misnomer. But he did get hit pretty hard when the Snakes managed to get the bat on the ball. Of the 15 balls in play, 8 went for hits. And of those 8 hits? They all came with the count even or the batter ahead.
Not exactly nibbling. Greinke comes straight after the hitters when the count is even, let alone behind. The only "serious" hitters count represented here is Chris Young's home run, which came on a 3-1 fastball pretty much right down the middle. Gives some credence to this note from the previously-mentioned Baseball Analytics post, "Greinke's not trying to fool batters, he's trying not to walk them."
Is this a problem for Greinke? Clearly not. He's one of the very best pitchers in baseball, owner of the best xFIP of all qualified starters this year. Did the Big Inning haunt him during the year? Could this proclivity of pitching to the score (so to speak) come back to haunt the Brewers? Getting runners on base against him is easier said than done.
The solo home run won't break your back but even Greinke's season splits tell the story of a pitcher being perhaps too fine. His second half saw batters reach base at a slightly higher rate (.302 OBP compared to .292) but doing far less damage (.362 SLG in the second half compared to .472 in the first.)
If Greinke can find a good internal balance of limiting walks without giving in to hitters, the Brewers playoff opponents are in for series of long, October nights. Greinke just needs to realize there is more than one way to beat yourself.

The Spectacular Journey of The Soul
Leave Your Message (3)धन धन सतगुरु तेरा ही आसरा
In Sacha Sauda, Sach means Om, Hari, Allah, Khuda, Rabb, Waheguru, God and Sauda means taking man's miseries, worries, problems, tensions, pains and giving him Allah, Waheguru, Ram, God's Name in return. Sacha Sauda is the place where oneness of God is taught. It is the confluence of all religions. There is no inferior or superior here; no high or low castes. Whoever comes here, sings the praises of Allah, Malik, and eats the bread earned through hard work. The individuals who walk on this path, on them God bestows His grace. As he keeps doing this Sacha Sauda, he reaches that Sacha Sauda from where the road that leads to God begins. This is between one's eyes, which in different religions are named the tenth door, the eye of knowledge, the point of very deep sleep, and Mehrab, and this point has been called Sacha Sauda by Shah Mastana Ji. As soon as you reach this point, you will find your Malik, Satguru, Ram waiting for you since ages wondering when you will awaken, when you will practice devotion, and when you will get liberated. As soon as the soul reaches the Sacha Sauda by taking the Name of Malik, the Name of Prabhu, it achieves liberation from repeated births; all miseries and difficulties go away; and the soul becomes filled with the happiness of God. Those souls are fortunate that have the longing as to when it will find God, when it will end its repeated births, and when it will find that happiness that is millions of times greater than any other happiness and that which is eternal and not momentary. To be able to experience this happiness you should practice remembrance and do selfless service.
You should focus your attention on the tenth door and meditate diligently. During meditation you will see a point of light. Focus all your attention, all your thoughts on that one point. As soon as your concentration comes to that one point, the soul will extricate itself from the body and reach there. The signs of this are that the light will change into a sweet feeling, a kind of attraction. As soon as your soul leaves your body, your body will become numb. It will be as if there is no life in the body, but your heart, brain, pulse all will keep working, and your body will find that comfort and relief which cannot be gotten through any other means. As soon as the soul reaches there, that which will be visible there will be beyond words. After that, the soul will ascend and descend, because there are such paths there where Kaal-Mahaakaal has his kingdoms. In that plane you will find very beautiful men and women dancing. You will find musical instruments, which are thousands of times better than the ones of this world, being played there. You will find such sweet waves; golden lakes, the water of which would look like gold flowing. There will be diamonds and other precious stones on trees. Those souls that are not led by the Perfect Guru, they reach there and limit themselves to that place and think that that is everything and they get trapped there. This is the delusional play of Mahakaal. But the soul of the Perfect Guru latches on to the voice of its Satguru and, seeing these things, keeps moving and reaches that place which is smaller than the head of a needle. As soon as the soul enters through that, it sees the spiritual plane of the Paarbrahm, where there are heights and depths greater than lakhs of kilometers. The soul enters this plane. When the soul falls here it feels as if it is falling for lakhs and crores of kilometers, but the voice of the Satguru keeps guiding it and giving it company. Then, when the souls reach Sachkhand, Nijdhaam, the scenery there would be beyond narration.
So, this journey begins at the tenth door. During this journey one sees those souls that are suffering, that are stuck in spiritual planes, and Kaal keeps tormenting them. Heavens and hells are visible; the three gods, Mahadev, all are visible. Only after these does the individual soul enter the Paarbrahm plane.
All these things are a secret, but these can be seen and experienced if you practice meditation. After the tenth door, there are many visions. Even Kaal-Mahakaal gives out light, which deludes the soul because it would never have seen such brilliant light, and the soul thinks this is God. But the brilliance of the light of God is different. In one pore of His body there is the light of hundreds of suns. You cannot look directly at the sun, but when you look at God's light, you will not feel like turning away from it.
What has been described so far is like showing a lamp to the sun. This is only a glimpse. The whole scenery is something else. But those whose attention has been focused, those who have gone inside, only they can understand these. The meditator is not scared even of death. He becomes carefree.
There are Satsangis who mislead other Satsangis. If one boasts to you about the way his soul is climbing and the visions he is having, know that he is hungry for fame. There are people who lie about these things; so you have to be careful. It does not happen that God enters someone and gives him orders. These are means that people use to rob others. It never happens in spirituality that the Guru-Satguru appears inside someone and asks him to create a lot of noise. Second, even if the Guru-Satguru says something it would be only for the benefit of that person and his family. It would not be that the Satguru appears inside someone and orders others to buy him a car or other such things. And if this is happening, then know that it is a lie and all rubbish. In this terrible age you will find many such people who rob others. When someone says to you that through meditation he is doing this and doing that, then tell him, "Brother, be silent. If you meditate, it is for yourself, your family, and for you to behold God. What have we got to do with it?" And that will put him in his place. But if you come under his spell, then he will rob you of your things and go away. This is why you must not fall for pretences. When the Satguru reveals Himself, he does it openly and says that I am in this body. Like Murshid-e-Kamil Shah Satnam Ji, who said that he will come as a young person.
So you must not fall a prey to pretentious people and lose your earnings of devotion and God's grace and blessings. Focus on selfless service and meditation so that you can receive the happiness of God.
Excerpts from Majlis 1st Oct.

A Report on Guruji's Mahendergarh (Hry.)Satsang held on 30 September,2008
Leave Your Message (1)Dhan-Dhan Satguru Tera Hi Aasra
Guruji during his discourse said that in this age of degeneration it is a big thing that Ram Naam is being discussed. Guruji discussed the different religions of the world and said that one must not hurt others by one's actions and that one must definitely spend a portion of one's earnings for the benefit of the poor and ailing. He said that today man has become very selfish. When he is sad he remembers God, but in happiness he does not remember Him. If man remembers Him even in happiness, then he will not face any problems at all. Man finds time to eat, drink, sleep, do business, attend to children, and do other worldly things, but he does not have time for God.
Guruji said that if man spends even 15 minutes in the remembrance of God, God accepts it, but the focus of his attention should be only Him during the whole time. Guruji said that if man remembers God in a focused manner, he can change his destiny. Devotion to God should be done with a true heart because God looks for true devotion and not material offerings.
Calling upon man to become a Karma Yogi and a Gyan Yogi at the same time, Guruji gave the examples of Sri Ram and Sri Krishna-Sudama. He said that action without knowledge could go wrong. Quoting saints who have talked about bribery, corruption, and earning one's living through cruelty to others, Guruji said that by doing these things man brings upon himself mountains of miseries. By earning one's living through hard work there is peace and happiness in one's home. One must spend a portion of one's earnings in the service of the ailing, in food for the poor, or in the service of animals and birds. But in this age of degeneration there is more selfishness than selflessness. Because of selfishness, today man has become the enemy of man. In today's age, humaneness is coming to an end. If man meditates on the Ram Naam then his most dangerous of karmas can come to an end. To realize God, man must listen to the Satsang. The Name of Ram is a remedy for all ailments. The Name of God helps one get rid of bad habits and intoxicants.
People Take Oath Against Intoxicants
Guruji warned people against using intoxicants. He said that the intoxication of worldly substances does not last long and wears off in hours, but the intoxication of Ram Naam lasts for a lifetime and even spills over into the next world. Informing the people present on the ill effects of intoxicants, Guruji said that intoxicants are dirty and because of it man falls a victim to many an incurable illness and there is no peace or happiness in the family. On the invitation of Guruji, large numbers of people among the gathering raised both their hands and vowed to stay away from intoxicants. They took out beedis, cigarettes, tobacco, and other such intoxicants from their person and threw them away and these were collected by volunteers and burnt.
Female Foeticide: A Grave Sin
Guruji termed female foeticide as a grave sin. He said that people are killing foetuses using injections and scissors and even taking the aid of computers for this. Later the remains of the foetuses are thrown into garbage bins and dogs feed upon these. The father who allows this to happen is not man enough, the mother who does this is nothing less than a witch, and the doctor who takes the life of the child can be compared to an executioner. If female foeticide continues then there will be unruliness in the country and the society will suffer. Guruji requested everyone to allow the girl child to be born and to take good care of it, and if they are unable to do so, to give the child to him so that he could bring them up at the ashram.
Guruji gave statistics on the large number of foetuses that are being killed in India everyday and every year; on the number of mothers who die of infection during abortions in a year; and also the number of foetuses killed in the country in the past century. Guruji also gave instances of cannibalism in today's age where people are feeding on foetuses.
During the Satsang Guruji answered questions asked by intellectuals and reporters who were present at the function. These questions were mainly about ghosts and spirits; pretences in the name of religion; the sources of income of the ashram; the saints Dhanna Bhagat and Ravidas; God being in every particle; the method of meditation and fasting; the signs of God realization; which soul was born first during creation; the necessity for security for saints; on the desire for salvation; unique methods of devotion; penance and knowledge; why the Gurumantra is secret; the secret of life; the lack of peace of mind; why man is becoming cruel; whether the Ram Setu is imaginary or real; etc. Guruji answered these questions to the satisfaction of the questioners.

Which Natural Mood Stabilizers Are Best For You?
What Are Natural Mood Stabilizers?
The term 'mood stabilizers' is one that is often misused and misunderstood. It was originally coined by the US FDA to cover prescription treatments for bi polar disorders. In Europe and the rest of the world however, the term mood stabilizer' (spelt mood stabiliser) also covers a range of natural mood enhancers and depression supplements that are not necessarily doctor prescribed. The result of this confusion is a vast array of mood stabilizers both pharmaceutical and natural that deliver very different outcomes.
A recent report shows that since the fall of Lehman's in 2008 and as debt has increased so too has been the uptake in the use of natural brain supplements, mood stabilizer and depression supplements .Interestingly over this period there has been a corresponding fall in the use of doctor prescribed anti-depressants and SSR's.
The purpose of this piece is to make a clear distinction between the two types of mood stabilizers and concentrate of the natural depression supplements that are formulated to lift mood and ease anxiety, panic attacks and mild to moderate depression.
If you have been searching for effective, safe treatment for mild to moderate mood fluctuations that have none of the side effects of prescription alternatives natural mood stabilizers and depression supplements could be the answer.
When selecting the most appropriate natural mood stabilizer, it is important to factor for the most effective amino acids and nutrients. Most mood stabilizers claim to support a healthy neurotransmitter balance, but there are others that deliver the additional benefit of calming the mind. Neurotransmitters are essential brain messengers that regulate mood and protect memory. Natural mood stabilizers can positively influence the activity of these neurotransmitters making it possible to relieve mild to moderate mood changes or a depressed mood caused by everyday stress.
Some Natural Vitamins to Improve Mood
All natural mood stabilizers should deliver a wide range of benefits in order to be truly effective over the long term. Try to choose a mood stabilizer that delivers not only healthy neurotransmitter activity but also delivers a calming of the mind.
To this end below i outline some of the most effective natural amino acids and brain supporting nutrients that are found in some of the most commonly used mood stabilizers , all of them which have been proven effective through research or anecdotal reporting over the past two decades:
L-Tryptophan is found in the most effective natural mood stabilizers and has been shown to significantly improve neurotransmitter activity it can help ease anxiety and depression since it works by increasing the creation of melotonin and acts as a powerful but natural mood stabilizer.
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is a very effective brain vitamin that improves the levels of plasma hormone in the body; this also delivers efficient neurotransmitter activity, enhances the functioning of the central nervous system, and regulates sleep cycles, resulting in a peaceful, more restful sleep.
L-Theanine: Has a significant effect on the release of dopamine and serotonin, resulting in improved and stable moods, a reduction in the occurrence of anxiety and panic attacks as well as marked increases in memory and learning ability. L-Theanine also stabilizes emotions due to its effects on the increased release of dopamine.
L-Phenylalanine: Is a key component of numerous substances in the brain that affect mood, pain, memory, and appetite. Research shows that L-Phenylalanine has important mood supporting properties and is proving to be most effective in easing depressive feelings and eliminating brain fog or mental tiredness.
St Johns Wort: is one of the most effective natural mood stabilizers and has been shown be a useful and safe alternative treatment for anxiety or panic attacks .It is also used extensively in Europe to combat the symptoms of mild to moderate depression .
Rhodiola Rosea: Recent European trials have shown that this mood stabilizer is effective in treating mild to moderate depression. As with GABA, Rhodiola has also been shown to help with difficulty sleeping, it is widely considered to be an effective alternative to prescription antidepressant medications and one that has none of the side effects associated with the doctor prescribed SSRI's
Who Should Use Natural Mood Stabilizers?
The everyday stresses and emotional strains can take their toll on all of us from time to time .The constant drip drip effect of constant unrelenting pressure can erode confidence and create anxiety and depression. Most natural mood stabilizers work to alleviate these types of constant, insidious emotional stress responses and although the benefits are many their use may not be appropriate for everyone .Consult your doctor if you are in doubt, but the reality is that hundreds of thousands of people around the world gain very real benefits from using natural mood stabilizers daily and many more many are ditching their prescription SSRI's and joining the growing numbers.
Will you be one of them?

We're in a period of the football calendar that's filled with hindsight, as preparing for free agency and the draft means looking back on the failures of signings and draft selections. Often the comments made by general managers and players at the time of those doomed signings and picks seem foolish now, since hindsight is a breeding ground for absurdity.
But that doesn't mean we can't still look back and laugh heartily at a player who was given Dan Snyder's treasure chest, and then in return handed him a box filled with broken dreams.
It's been about 24 hours since Albert Haynesworth was released by the Bucs, almost exactly three years after he said this…
"You're not going to remember Albert Haynesworth as a bust"
He said that piece of comedic gold while standing at the podium during his introductory press conference in Washington after he signed a contract worth $100 million over seven years with $41 million in guaranteed money, a record at the time.
The laughs from Haynesworth's press conference stand-up routine didn't stop there.
"My goal is to be the best player on the field and to eventually get to that Hall of Fame status and be mentioned with Reggie White and Bruce Smith and all the greats."
Haynesworth has done more than just implode on the field with his three sacks over the past two years after 14.5 between 2007 and 2008. He also allegedly fondled a waitress, and decided that the open road was a fine place for a punch up before finally departing from Washington last July.
But you know all that, and it's still quite fresh in your memory of Haynesworth's colossal failings. What might not be as fresh, though, are both the press conference quotes, and a more recent quote from just over a month ago when he deflected blame from his own petulance and laziness.
Earlier this morning Hogs Haven reminded us of what's now become Haynesworth's exit interview with the Buccaneers, and while speaking with the Tampa Bay Times he pinned the reason for his poor season on a tumultuous offseason that created a distraction:
"It was just me not having a good offseason, worrying about whether I was going back to the Redskins, all that stuff."
His supreme apathy shines through again, and Haynesworth's shoulder shrug towards a 2011 season in which he barely played is a stark contrast to the quotes above where he promises greatness, and has the confidence to put his name in the same sentence as White and Smith, two legendary defensive linemen.
There are middle and low tier free agents left to twist and turn every offseason, not knowing where they'll be employed, or if they'll be employed. But they work and grind, hoping to impress someone and earn a roster spot, or even just a placement on the practice squad.
Yet after selling us lies and delusions of grandeur three years ago, a squabble he created supposedly sucked the life out of Haynesworth last offseason.
Now we'll always remember Albert Haynesworth for what he truly is: a bust.

"Never trust a man who,
when left alone in a room with a tea cozy,
doesn't try it on."
- Billy Connolly
(The funniest thing about this quotation is that yours truly has actually worn a tea cozy! I was working at Royal Holloway University of London and we were asked to wear funny hats in an effort to raise money for charity. My tea cozy generated a lot of smiles and probably a few sniggers, but the
most important part was turning in my £5 to Children in Need. ♥ )

I was thinking, somewhere I was told not to expose the trunk on my Needle palm even to cover with burlap in a 5b climate and recently, I have been wondering, am I supposed to leave dead foliage on my needle palm for extra protection, or will that cause a decrease in cold hardiness? Thanks for the help. |

Would you recommend me remove the dead foliage, or leave the foliage on? |
Dead foliage will not help with winter protection. You're protecting it anyway, although I don't know if I'd use burlap. Prune away, just don't prune anything green. |
- Posted by mcgyvr2009i Schenectady, NY 5b (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 8:07
Will it harm cold hardiness? Or is it neutral in a sense? |
- Posted by islandbreeze 6b MI (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 8:26
You can leave dead foliage on, but I'm not sure why you would want to...Your palm will look nicer if dead fronds are pruned off. As mentioned above, it won't help with winter protection. I've heard that leaving dead fronds on a washy helps to insulate them once they get that skirt of dead fronds because it protects the trunk. However, if you're protecting it anyway, then you don't need a "skirt" of dead fronds on your needle. |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7b (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 17:34
I agree, dead fronds can definitely be cut off. It won't do anytime to make it less cold tolerant. Never cut off fronds that are green and healthy though since your palm can use as many of those as possible to build up strength to handle the winter cold or any other possible problems along the way. You can definitely make an argument about keeping washy fronds because of the skit it makes like islandbreeze says, but needles never develop that skit so leaving dead fronds on it will just make it look bad and will not insulate it in any way. Good luck! -Alex |

Use frost cloth in place of burlap, it breathes and helps shed snow and freezing rain, thus keeping the crown dry. |

Economist: File Sharing's Impact On Movies Is Modest At Most
samzenpus posted about 6 months ago | from the boosting-sales dept.
214First time accepted submitter SillyBoy123 writes What is the impact of file sharing releases on the movie industry? Ask the studios and they will say billions. An economist named Koleman Strumph is presenting a paper at the National Bureau of Economics this week that tries to estimate the crowd out from these releases. His conclusion: "I find that file sharing has only a modest impact on box office revenue." In fact, Strumph finds that file sharing before the official release of a movie can actually be beneficial to revenues: "One consistent result is that file sharing arrivals shortly before the theatrical opening have a modest positive effect on box office revenue. One explanation is that such releases create greater awareness of the film. This is also the period of heaviest advertising. In conjunction with the main estimates, this suggests that free and potentially degraded goods such as the lower quality movies available on file sharing networks can have some beneficial effects on intellectual property."
