Synopsis: The Perennial Philosophy, which Huxley defines as "the metaphysic that recognizes a divine Reality substantial to the world of things and lives and minds; the philosophy that finds in the soul something similar to, or even identical with, divine Reality; (and) the ethic that places man's final end in the knowledge of the immanent and transcendent Ground of all being," is the "philosophy of the mystics." Huxley draws from the writings of mystical authors from various traditions, synthesizing their thought on various topics and leading the reader to further investigation. I find his definition to be somewhat vague (fittingly, as this is a common complaint of the mystical writings which he addresses!). In my own understanding, I would summarize the "Perennial (or mystical) Philosophy" in three propositions: In Western Terms – 1.There is a God, 2. Each human soul is made in the Image of God (i.e. it is "like" God is some respects), and 3. Man's ultimate destiny, at least for those who choose it, is Union with God. Or, in Eastern Terms – 1. There is a Spiritual Reality/Ground, 2. The human soul is identical with that ground, and 3. Each soul's destiny is absorption in the Ground. Maybe that's no less vague than Huxley's definition, but it makes a little more sense to me:)
Overview: Huxley's work can essentially be broken down into 2 parts: defining the Perennial Philosophy, and synthesizing what those who hold it say about various topics (i.e. What do the mystics say about ___?).
To define the Perennial Philosophy more fully than in his introduction, Huxley spends two chapters (That Art Thou and The Nature of The Ground) elaborating. First, Huxley elaborates on the feature of the Philosophy that he believes to be the "most emphatically insisted upon" by its exponents – that the personal soul is identical with, or at least akin to, the Divine Ground. In Hindu terms Atman (the individualized self/soul) is Brahman (the Absolute Principle of all existence), or, as Huxley titles his chapter, "That Art Thou."
It seems to me that here we come to an impasse between Eastern/Impersonal/Monistic thinking and Western/Personal/Dualistic thinking. For some Eastern thinkers, the personal ego is simply an illusion – what we think of as our personal "selves" are really God/Brahman if we could only see it. To Western theistic thinkers, God may reside in the soul in some way, but God is not identical with the soul. But regardless of how this is conceptualized, to find God or Spiritual Reality, one must not only look without, but more importantly, within…
Though God is everywhere present, yet He is only present to thee in the deepest and most central part of thy soul. The natural senses cannot possess God or unite thee to Him; nay, thy inward faculties of understanding, will and memory can only reach after God, but cannot be the place of his habitation in thee. But there is a root or depth of thee from whence all these faculties come forth, as lines from a centre, or as branches from the body of a tree. This depth is called the centre, the fund or bottom of the soul. This depth is the unity, the eternity – I had almost said the infinity – of thy soul; for it is so infinite that nothing can satisfy it or give it rest but the infinity of God. – William Law
To the exponents of the Perennial Philosophy, this root, or depth, or bottom of the soul is either God/Brahman Itself, or akin to Him/It. We must look inwards to experience what, in William Law's words, "will give us rest."
After declaring that That Art Thou, or at least, That Art Like Thou, the question remains, what is Thou? To this question Huxley believes that the mystics all give fundamentally the same answer:
The divine Ground of all existence is a spiritual Absolute, ineffable in terms of discursive thought, but (in certain circumstances) susceptible to being directly experienced and realized by the human being.
In other words, you can't fully describe God in human language (for an interesting post from a Christian perspective around this topic, click here), He must be directly experienced to be known. About the only thing that Huxley believes can be summarized from the collective thought of the mystics is that God or Spiritual Reality is "both immanent and transcendent, personal and more than personal"…
If they are not too stubborn in their ready-made beliefs, if they submit with docility to what happens to them in the process of worshiping, the God who is both immanent and transcendent, personal and more than personal, may reveal Himself to them in his fulness. Nevertheless, the fact remains that it is easier for us to reach our goal if we are not handicapped by a set of erroneous or inadequate beliefs about the right way to get there and the nature of what we are looking for.
Since all of our definitions fail us, we ought to be concerned about seeking to be transformed in God, and not defining exactly What/Who God is.
Yes, Huxley's first two chapters, in which he sets out to define both what the soul is and what/who God is, are vague! That's kind of mysticism folks! We have to get comfortable with words like "ineffable" The rest of his work deals with more tangible doctrines of the mystics; I will briefly overview three of them – "Personality, Sanctity, Divine Incarnation," "The Miraculous," and "Contemplation, Action and Social Utility."
Personality, Sanctity, Divine Incarnation
In this chapter, Huxley argues that experience of, and union with, God/Spiritual Reality "can be achieved only by the annihilation of the self-regarding ego." The self, with all its wants and desires, must be repented of if one is to find God. It is the barrier separating "thou" from "That". It is the "God-eclipsing" reality that keeps us from love, joy, and peace. And slavery to self can only lead to the opposite of those fruits. Huxley quotes William Law:
The separate creaturely life, as opposed to life in union with God, is only a life of various appetites, hungers, and wants, and cannot possibly be anything else. God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this; it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in and in union with it. And this is the twofold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and perfect and happy creature.
Die to self and find happiness and contentment; find God. Whether Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, the message of the mystics rarely strays from this path.
It is by kenosis, the emptying of the self from all of its wishes, that one can be united with, and truly be used by God. As Huxley puts it:
It is in virtue of his absorption in God and just because he has not identified his being with the inborn and acquired elements of his private personality, that the saint is able to exercise his entirely non-coercive and therefore entirely beneficent influence on individuals and even on whole societies. Or, to be more accurate, it is because he has purged himself of selfness that divine Reality is able to use him as a channel of grace and power.
The purgation of personal desire, of cares about "what happens to me," is St. John of the Cross' "Dark Night of the Soul" that leads to complete freedom at the other end of the tunnel.
The Miraculous
The abnormal bodily states, by which the immediate awareness of the divine Ground is often accompanied, are not, of course, essential parts of that experience. Many mystics, indeed, deplored such things as being signs, not of divine grace, but of the body's weakness.
This is a fascinating topic for me (as I assume it would be for most). I have had some personal experiences that I would classify as "the miraculous" or, at least "abnormal spiritual occurrences" (see my "Listen to the Silence") and I am convinced that others have had experiences of the supernatural that result in miraculous events/states taking place (see the end of my "The Historical Christ and the Theological Jesus – Review"). But the mystics seem incredibly unconcerned about these events. They are frivolous at best, and possibly a distraction from the goal of self-emptying/God-filling to which these writers are dedicated. Three quotes from the start of this chapter sum up their point of view:
Revelations are the aberration of faith; they are an amusement that spoils simplicity in relation to God, that embarrasses the soul and makes it swerve from its directness in relation to God. They distract the soul and occupy it with other things than God. Special illuminations, auditions, prophecies and the rest are marks of weakness in a soul that cannot support the assaults of temptation or of anxiety about the future and God's judgment upon it. Prophecies are also marks of creaturely curiosity in a soul to whom God is indulgent and to whom, as a father to his importunate child, he gives a few trifling sweetmeats to satisfy its appetite. – J.J. Olier
The slightest degree of sanctifying grace is superior to a miracle, which is supernatural only by reason of its cause, by its mode of production, not by its intimate reality; the life restored to a corpse is only the natural life, low indeed in comparison with that of grace. – R. Garrigou-Lagrange
Can you walk on water? You have done no better than a straw. Can you fly in the air? You have done no better than a bluebottle. Conquer your heart; then you may become somebody. – Ansari of Herat
Contemplation, Action and Social Utility
The mystic, says Huxley, takes it as axiomatic that the end of human life is contemplation, or the direct and intuitive awareness of God. Action is a means to that end, and societies are good to the extent that they lead towards the contemplative state. In modern society, it goes without saying that the end of human life is action; contemplation is a means to that end, and a society is good to the extent that it makes for progress in technology and organization.
And yet, even many mystics are called to some form of "active life" outside of solitude and prayer. But, in their eyes, right action can only spring from the contemplative life:
Action, says Aquinas, should be something added to the life of prayer, not something taken away from it. One of the reasons for this recommendation is strictly utilitarian; action that is 'taken away from the life of prayer' is action unenlightened by contact with Reality, uninspired and unguided; consequently it is apt to be ineffective and even harmful.
Income must balance expenditure. This is necessary not merely on the economic level, but also on the physiological, the intellectual, the ethical and the spiritual. We cannot put forth energy unless we stoke our body with fuel in the form of food. We cannot hope to utter anything worth saying, unless we read and inwardly digest the utterances of our betters. We cannot act rightly and effectively unless we are in the habit of laying ourselves open to leadings of the Divine Nature or Things. We must draw in the goods of eternity in order to be able to give out the goods of time. But the goods of eternity cannot be had except by giving up at least a little of our time to silently waiting for them.
And not only does contemplation aide the mystic, but, through the mystic, the rest of society as well:
It is they who, dying to themselves, become capable of perpetual inspiration and so are made the instruments through which divine grace is mediated to those whose unregenerate nature is impervious to the delicate touches of the Spirit.
Personal Takeaways: One of the most interesting of Huxley's recurring thoughts is that "knowledge is a function of being." To be able to know and experience God/Spiritual Reality, one must, in Huxley's words, "fulfill certain conditions, making (one's self) loving, pure in heart, and poor in spirit." Thus it is only the one who is willing to die to themselves that will find God. Hmmm.
After reading this book several times and reflecting on it, I have become convinced that there truly is a "mystic theology"; that those who have given themselves to contemplation from all different cultures, times, and creeds say very similar things about their experience and how we should act based on that experience. Could it be that they are finding the same ontological Reality? It is certainly possible. Through Huxley's work, I was inspired to read a ton of mystical writings, especially in the Christian realm…Eckhart, St John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, The Cloud of Unknowing, etc. The Perennial Philosophy will not get dusty on my shelf.
Final Thoughts: My head is about to explode with the knowledge that Aldous drops. Seriously, fantastic introduction to the thought of mystics from a host of traditions. Get it. Read it. Digest it. Live it. Check out somaweb.org for more on Aldous and here for their review of this work.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Somewhere, the AlterG treadmill that served as Matt Kemp's exercise lifeline for weeks is collecting dust. Kemp is out in the open, where he should be, taking batting practice and running on a baseball field.
Tuesday, he was cleared to run a curved path with Dodgers first-base coach Davey Lopes watching. Since he was first cleared to run on Saturday, he had only been running straight lines.
His swing (above) looks normal. His body, chiseled from an off-season spent doing upper body work in the gym, looks better than normal. The only question is, when will Kemp be able to start playing games?
"Part of the plan is not to have a timetable," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday, "as far as throwing a date out there, so you guys can say 'April 1,' then we get to April 1 and he's not quite ready so now he's off schedule. If something happened he had 'a setback.'
"The more he does, the more he steps forward, continues to do more without having setbacks, the more he continues to do and that tells us where we're at."
Kemp has said repeatedly that he won't rush himself back. Playing in the Dodgers' season-opening series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia is out. The first game on North American soil, March 30 against the Padres in San Diego, hasn't been ruled out.
That's the good news. It's also all the news.
"Stan (Conte, the Dodgers' head athletic trainer) has characterized it as kind of like the fifth stage of a seven-stage rehab," Mattingly said. "So (Kemp) is getting there. We're confident that he's going in the right direction. I don't think anyone wants to put pressure on Matt to say 'this is the date' because then it's an artificial timetable. Then if he's not ready he starts to feel like he's behind schedule."

Creating threads If you have a question, search first make a new thread later. Raising an old thread (Necroing) is better than clutter in my opinion. Note: only raise issues that are relevant to the thread. "Lawlz" or "O.o" will probably get you downvoted Attachment 52240 I also see a lot of people posting links to outside file hosting for pictures. Its nice to save Riot some bandwidth but its also inconvenient and I'm suspicious of links thanks to vampire forum games and rick rolls. I have included a handy pictorial guide below. If you want to postition pictures in a post like I am attach them and use then use the [attach] tags around the id number in the post where you want the picture Attachment 52234 If you want to create a poll use the create a poll option at the bottom of the create new thread page. Attachment 52236 If you decide later you want to attach a poll to a thread you made use thread tools. Attachment 52237 Viewing posts and profiles Check out the dev tracker. I have a picture below detailing that clicking the riot logo takes you to the first riot post in a thread, but there is a special link that lets you see most of the dev activity on the forums. It misses a few people but its a handy tool Attachment 52239 If you're browsing the forums and see a thread but want a short preview of a thread just scroll over the title. Attachment 52238 Also borrowing from Jozraels FAQ "What do the different avatars/usergroups represent?"
You really ought to include tips and tricks on how to attach pictures without them becoming crazy small. This seems to be a common trap to those not familiar with the attachment system.

Is necroing really better than creating a new thread? I got some angry responses for bumping this thread http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...read.php?t=162 even though it is still pertinent.
As long as its valid feedback, its ok. Though some people still have issues with it. It also depends on the topic. In your linked case, most people know forum avatars are coming, so they were probably annoyed that the topic was pulled back up. Its a personal preference. Posting "I know this is really old, but we still haven't seen any changes" might assuage much of the rage.
Since you bring up the Test Realm here, could you possibly elaborate further as to how one can get involved with the test realm? It's information I was never easily able to get my hands on in my time here.
This is really helpful, and even though I lurk the forums most, if not all the time, I didn't even know some of these things. Thank you
The Test Realm, as I'm sure you can surmise, is for testing the new builds that come out before they are released to the Live servers. Currently, there is no way to get a Test Realm account, but Riot does run giveaways from time to time. Just keep an eye out for them (they have been in the Test Realm forum before, but we are supposed to be getting a new forum, and I have no idea who will have access to what) and sign up when you see one. That's pretty much the only way to get into the TR right now.
why can't we use avatars? :\ it rlly makes it alot harder to tell members from each other.

Ace of Swords by Henny Acloque
Using Brueghel's sixteenth century Tarot cards as a jumping off pint, Henny Acloque creates an updated version with haunting images of the cards from the major and minor arcana. Acloque's work falls under a Spanish influence, and thus the pointed red hats worn by the penitents during Semana Santa serve to hide the full identities of the tarot characters. Indeed, all the faces are obscured by skulls, clusters or circles, but it is easy enough to guess at the character given the setting and accessories. While the skulls and meat cleavers give the work a disturbing air, gentle landscapes or refined interiors add to the mystery and sense of foreboding.

The project consists of two buildings, one of which is a historic church and another that is entirely new construction. The owner and architect have worked closely with the Indiana Historic Preservation Commission to overcome the difficulties of the conversion of the church by preserving what is essential to the history and providing what is necessary for the future. The majority of the existing church was demolished with the sanctuary being the only portion of the original church to remain. The sanctuary's detailed interior vaults, medallions and other plasterwork became features in the new condominium homes. The demolished portion of the building was replaced with new construction designed to complement and complement-by-contrast the remaining turrets and sanctuary walls in scale, rhythm and material. The new constructed building has a contemporary corner turret with exposed open steel frame top. The open steel framed top on the new turret acts as an architectural reference for the removal of the existing church's turret steeples. There are a total of 75 condominiums within the project which fill four levels above two levels of indoor parking; one at grade and one below grade.

City Hall Tells Hill Occupiers To Pack Up

(Updated 5:23 p.m.) A replay of 2012's Occupy New Haven showdown may be brewing in the Hill neighborhood, as the Harp administration Thursday afternoon "urged" homeless advocates to remove newly erected tents from a city-owned lot.
The three tents went up Thursday morning at the rear of a community garden at 211 Rosette St. The city owns the land; the New Haven Land Trust operates the garden.
The homeless advocates said they erected the tents in response to the closure earlier this month of the city's 88-bed overflow shelter on Cedar Street for the homeless.
The Harp administration reacted by telling the homeless they have to leave. By later Thursday afternoon, both sides were digging in.
Erik Johnson (pictured leaving the scene), director of the Livable City Initiative (LCI), the city agency that handles lots like 211 Rosette, showed up at the encampment to deliver an ultimatum. He spoke for some 20 minutes with the homeless people there and their advocates.
"We saw their affirmative protest. We informed them that this is not the intended use of the land," Johnson said as he left the lot around 4;30 with an LCI deputy, Frank D'Amore. "They have a choice: I hope that we don't have to get the police involved. "
Johnson was asked how soon the campers have to respond before the city will send in the cops. "Sooner rather than later," he responded.
Back at the encampment, the organizers said they already gave Johnson their answer. They're not budging.
"As far as we're concerned, we're staying," said organizer Williams. "I made that very clear."
Mayor Toni Harp met with officials in City Hall within hours of the encampment's emergence Thursday. Her spokesman issued this statement after that meeting: "The City of New Haven has a long and unwavering commitment to address the challenge of homelessness. This past year, the City dedicated more than $1 million in general funds and other city services to the issue. Nevertheless, the City recognizes that this is not enough to address the problem and is committed to figuring out how best to resolve it. Setting up temporary quarters on the city-owned parcel at 70 Rosette Street, while dramatizing the problem, does not move us sufficiently toward necessary practical solutions. The City urges those who have set up tents on this land to dismantle them, and then work with us to develop viable solutions to the issue because the City cannot permit them to stay."
City Hall took a more welcoming stance when homeless advocates set up a tent city on the Upper Green in the fall of 2011 as part of the national Occupy movement. Months later, as the tent city grew and people raised public-health concerns, the administration of then-Mayor John DeStefano ended up clashing with homeless advocates for weeks, and went to federal court, in a messy, ultimately successful quest to evict the encampment in April of 2012. Then the city drew up new rules to prevent such an encampment from reestablishing itself there.
"It's Rough Out There"
Organizers set up the tents in the rear of the Rosette Street lot, away from the plants.
The crew finished erecting the tents around noon, then held a press conference.
"We didn't see a need to ask" permission to erect the tents, said organizer Gregory Williams. "The purpose of the Land Trust is to take unused land and use it for the common good. This is the common good."
Besides erecting the three tents, the crew—including members of the Amistad Catholic Worker House two doors away—spent the morning clearing garbage from the land. After a noon press conference announcing the encampment, they sat down to a communal meal. Williams said some of the people planning to sleep in the tents have agreed to help tend the garden.
Gregory Abraham (pictured) is among those planning to sleep in the tents. He said he has been homeless since his mother died in 1996. He said he was staying at the overflow shelter before it closed. Several years ago he stayed at a tent city in the woods off Marginal Drive at the New Haven-West Haven border, before authorities shut it down.
"It's rough out there" for the homeless, Abraham said. "It's not getting easier. It's getting harder."
Another homeless man planning to stay in the tents, Leo Donis (pictured), said he prefers that set-up to the other sites where he and others have camped since the overflow shelter closed. They take turns sleeping and standing guard at those other sites, he said.
"We've got to be like soldiers," he said.
"Don't worry," Barbara Smith (pictured, with Williams to her right), who lives next door to the lot, told the gathering at the lot Thursday. "When they're sleeping, I'll be watching" to make sure everyone's safe.
Thursday's action coincided with a 100-day emergency drive, organized by the United Way, to find long-term shelter for 75 percent of the city's homeless. The advocates involved in Thursday's Rosette Street action have been protesting the seasonal closure of the 88-bed overflow shelter on Cedar Street.
Justin Elicker, who runs the not-for-profit Land Trust, was still exploring his options when asked early Thursday afternoon about the surprise development at the group's Rosette Street garden. He spoke of both legal and ethical responsibilities the Trust must weigh.
"I think the Land Trust's ethical responsibility is to help people who are struggling and help them find solutions when it intersects with our property," Elicker said. "While I want to be able to facilitate these folks having a place to go, I've already reached out to Columbus House [emergency shelter] to get more information on what their options are. At the same time we need to be respectful of the people who are participating in our community gardens. We can't treat different community gardens in different ways. It's not sustainable for us to say, 'At any community garden in the city, you're welcome to sleep as well.' It's not realistic. It's not fair to people who are keeping the gardens clean and working hard to have ownership over the gardens."
The Trust recently had to prevent a homeless man from sleeping in a greenhouse at another garden, Elicker said. "We just can't allow people to sleep on our properties in places where we have community gardeners as well. We'll do everything we can to help this population, particularly since it's part of our mission of providing support with low-cost and no-cost food for groups that are struggling."
The Land Trust supports close to 50 community gardens around town.
As far as he could tell, Elicker said, he doesn't believe the Trust has a lease from the city to operate the garden on Rosette.
"That means we're in a tricky situation. We don't have a lot of authority over this site. The city has the authority to do whatever it wants," Elicker said.
City Corporation Counsel Victor Bolden said he needed to look into the matter before commenting. So did mayoral spokesman Laurence Grotheer. Livable City Initiative (LCI) Director Erik Johnson, whose agency is responsible for city-owned lots, failed to respond to repeated requests for comment before this story was published. Bolden met with Mayor Toni Harp and others around 2 p.m. to discuss the city's response. In the discussion he suggested crafting a statement affirming the city's interest in engaging in "dialogue" about the homeless but not allowing the tents to remain on the property. (Snippets of the discussion were overheard via an unintentionally dialed cell phone; most of the conversation was not audible.) The officials also discussed whether the statement should come from Harp herself or from Bolden.
Gregory Williams made clear his group's legal take on the matter: "People have a right to take refuge together."

Right…because when I think of what is beneficial for homeless people, I think of a tent placed on a vacant lot - the quintessential symbol of urban decay and neglect - within a distressed neighborhood suffering from high crime rates, low economic opportunity, and the illicit drug trade?
The compassion of the people involved with this effort is very inspiring and commendable. However, I can't help but think that this effort is somewhat misguided. Is the Hill going to succeed as a mecca for the homeless and will the homeless succeed if their home is a neighborhood still struggling with unemployment, crime and neglect? There are 11 other towns in our region that haven't done their share for the region's in-need populations for the last 50 years. New Haven has tried to provide for these populations but it simply isn't realistic that one small municipality can house an entire region's poor, drug-addicted, homeless, parolees, etc. without having negative budgetary, economic development, and social wellbeing consequences.

So Jonathan: When does the bus to Milford or Hamden or Branford leave so the homeless can relocate and make the perfect political statement?
I don't mean to be cranky with you, but the lack of options for our vulnerable citizens is increasingly desperate.
Now people don't even have the freedom to sleep under a bridge.

Do any of the so called "organizers" have a backyard that these people can camp in? If so, why not?

Jonathan Hopkins and robn:
Mark Colville and his family have opened the doors of their own home to the homeless for decades. It's called Amistad Catholic Worker House on 203 Rosette Street, just two doors from where they erected tents.
On any given day half a dozen people without homes sleep under their roof, sharing the house with Mark, his wife and his children. The family also opens the doors of their home for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, and anyone in the neighborhood or in need is welcome at the table. Their doors are open once a week for Bible study and discussion. On Thursdays, they have "give and take" which is where people can donate food and clothing or pick up food and clothing, including lots of fresh food given away by Bishop's Orchard and nearby supermarkets.

I don't think Rosette Street was chosen at random. Several of the organizers here live on that street. This particular group featured in this article isn't made up of limousine liberals from the suburbs who are trying to use New Haven as a guinea pig for some social experiment. These are people genuinely invested in the neighborhood and the homelessness cause with skin in the game.
I happen to think the effort is somewhat misguided, though Dwightstreeter has a good point and sometimes in a crisis an ideal solution is tough to come by, so solutions like the one presented in this article are necessary.
I agree that New Haven's suburban town's cannot adequately provide for these populations in their current form. My point is that the suburbs need to be made accessible for a cross-section of New Haven's population, not just wealthy families that can afford multiple cars and a single family house.
Implied in my argument is that the suburbs need to come up with ways to accommodate their portion of the region's population that make for desirable places to live. If I were to be in charge of coming up with those ways, I would first develop the historic town centers of our surrounding suburbs to be denser and a bit larger. Then I would build mixed-income residential communities near large concentrations of jobs in suburban office parks and shopping centers like the Hamden Plaza, Boston Post Road, Universal Drive, etc. Then I would expand transit to connect the town centers and job concentrations with each other and New Haven. The key is developing walkable, transit connected places outside of New Haven so that the inner city no longer has to be the only place where people-in-need can find refuge, since after a while of being the only game in town, that refuge turns into a black hole for opportunity ie a ghetto.
Greater New Haven needs less inner city ghettos and exclusionary subdivisions, and more equally distributed villages.

The community garden was presumably created with the consent and efforts of the neighborhood. We're tents erected here with the same community consent and effort?

PS, the Catholic Workers may earnestly believe that humans aren't a commodity but many of us believe that having others submit to proselytization is in its own way usurious and commodifying.

@ jon hopkins—-get real !!! Dont expect those lily white suburbs rich or poor to do anything in your lifetime.
The United Way and friends are scrambling to find apts. for around 100 people. Dont expect altruistic landlords to rush forward.
The solution is for the city to face the awful truth. City land and city buildings must house homeless men women and children. To leave these people out in the cold is a mortal sin…and I'm an atheist!! The economy is not going to get better or provide jobs but society must provide housing for our fellow humans. Homelessness and poverty are growing. The denial and indifference of so many makes me sick and ashamed.

"We didn't see a need to ask" permission to erect the tents, said organizer Gregory Williams. "The purpose of the Land Trust is to take unused land and use it for the common good. This is the common good."
This is a misinformed statement. The goal of any land trust (e.g. NHLT) is to protect parcels like this one. Hence the manifestation of community gardens, nature preserves, etc. in otherwise habitable places. That means people shouldn't try to pitch a tent there. One's own self interest does not necessarily equal the "common good" as Williams puts it.
This is a publicity stunt, and for a good cause, so there's no need to put one's foot in one's mouth. One can learn from the mistakes of the Occupy movement. "Be humble and speak the truth, or no one will listen."

A real hot summer is expected and we will be hearing about how they will be opening several facilities to get people out of the heat. How much does that cost? The answer is simple open ceder street all year. If i am not midstaken i think the hill health center owns the property. Does toni harp still remain on their payroll? If not she should certainly use her influnce and her connections to get some sort of funding to have the shelter opened year round. Eighty eight beds empty. Shamful.

This reminds me of the Aug. 6 1988 Tompkins Square Park Riot.Hey Robin there slogan was "Gentrification is Class War."
Tompkins Square Park Riot.
First signs of trouble[edit]
Though the park was a de facto homeless shelter, some residents considered the police department's actions an attempt to take the park away from the public. Protests were organized and a rally called for July 31.[7] That night, police entered the park in response to alleged noise complaints, and by the end of the call several civilians and six officers were treated for injuries, and four men were arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and inciting to riot.[8] Sarah Lewison, an eyewitness, said the protest was over rumors of a midnight curfew at the park and another witness, John McDermott, said the police provoked the melee.[8] Angry organizers planned another rally.
Like I said the Gentrification Vampires are coming.

Isn't there currently some community project to get homes for homeless people—problem solved.

Gardening good/ sleeping no good.
They are sleeping in a section that is not used for gardening.
Why did they have to clean up the place when Elicker said that the gardeners keep the place clean? Elicker has a misguided notion of some of the community gardens.
Let them police themselves. Offer community policing to this area.
In some states erecting a tent in your own yard is now illegal.

I know. I'm not sure why you decided to include me in that response. I'm humbled greatly by the efforts of the people mentioned in this article. I merely think that the solution to Greater New Haven's homelessness issue cannot be limited to one town in the region.
"Dont expect those lily white suburbs rich or poor to do anything in your lifetime."
I fear what our country would be like if the people who fought for school integration had that same kind of defeatist attitude.
If an injustice exists, you fight until it is addressed, regardless of how difficult it is and how much push-back there is.
The fact that one municipality in the region houses 50% of the region's poor, nearly all of the homeless, drug addicted, and parolee services is a grave injustice. You are correct that suburban towns won't willingly provide for these populations, which is why it will likely require a State law and enforcement, similar to school integration.
"City land and city buildings must house homeless men women and children."
If by "City" you mean the municipality of the City of New Haven, then I disagree with this statement. If by "City" you mean the sprawling 13-town metropolitan region of Greater New Haven, then I agree that this "City" should provide housing for all of it's homeless population. But that housing should be spread between all 13 towns, not concentrated in just one.
There is much more economic opportunity outside of New Haven, then inside of it. The key is figuring out how to unlock that opportunity for those without cars and enough money to buy houses in the suburbs. I think the key will be to develop new walkable residential communities near job centers, developing existing town centers and expanding transit service.

"Do any of the so called "organizers" have a backyard that these people can camp in? If so, why not?"
Maybe everyone with a back yard should be required to offer space for people in need to camp in.
Maybe it should be a zoning requirement that all apartment buildings in 'prime downtown real estate', with easy (or easier) access to services and public transportation maintain a few small apartments or dormitory style rooms for people in need.
I wouldn't call myself a Marxist by any means but I do know that a corollary of some people having nearly unlimited economic power is that there will be a corresponding—usually greater—number of people with nearly none. Referring to them as 'these people' won't change that fundamental and inevitable consequence of economics. Even if they were able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they would just displace those already dangling from the last rung of the ladder. That's how it works.
The, uh, 'inconvenient truth' though is that 'these people', by virtue of being human beings, have the same inherent right to dignity and security as the taxpayers, the job-creators, the 1%, and the rest of those people who've 'made it' in our completely fair, merit-based, race and class-blind capitalist system.
Take the money those other useless consultants got paid-and want to get paid in the future—to walk around talk about 'Main Street' or whatever and just give it to Hopkins; he seems consistently to have the best ideas. He ought to get paid for them.

Harp spent years as the director of homeless services and the city has spent millions over those same years on homeless programs. Anybody ever seek a solution? Meanwhile, the Housing Authority has spent hundreds of millions on new projects with apparently, no SRO facilities. Why?

You can imply that my using the pronoun "these" makes me a meany and I can argue back that I find phrases like "the homeless" to be objectifying and dehumanizing but in the end we'll be wasting our time. The real issue is that pitching tents for homeless people on random plots of public land doesn't solve the homeless problem and is rife with problems including liability, safety, hygeine, special needs, etc. Not to mention that this garden was begun and maintained by neighbors who may not all agree on this secondary use. Staging a publicity stunt on a plot of land (owned by the city that spends over a million dollars per year on the homeless) is lazy and uses homeless people and neighbors as pawns. Do it on the Guilford Green or on the lawn of the Capitol Building and maybe the protest will draw the attention of people who are currently indifferent.

The human beings without homes are generally not either inclined to protest or political organizing, but if you look at how effective Act UP and Love Makes a Family were in getting the government to respond to AIDS and civil rights for gay people, is there really any other route to getting a) attention and b) action?
Yes, there are groups working on the issue. I await proof of a solution.
In the meantime, anything that supports human life and a decent quality of life trumps property rights - at least to me.
Being all polite and proper simply doesn't work to solve problems.
maybe the Humans Without Homes (feel free to take the name) should encamp at Board of Alders meetings or better yet, meetings of the Yale Corporation.
Perhaps someone can fund a bus tour of surrounding towns where the Humans Without Homes can set up camp, generate a controversy and be evicted time after time.
At least it would make them visible.

This is an issue that can be solved if other cities and towns in regions were billed.
Gathering information about the homeless is useless if that information is not used to refer homeless men and women back to the communities where they originate.
Cities that already have homeless shelters need to unity to and lobby the state to pass a law that requires every town that has homeless population to open of a shelter.
Every town has a homeless population based upon the data collect but not every town is providing shelter for their homeless population. In stead they sending their homeless to cities that have homeless shelters which are over flowing of people who are residence of East Haven, Hamden ect.

One obvious place to build housing for lower-income people is adjacent to suburban assisted-living complexes and hospitals. It is ridiculous to have the staff for those facilities—almost entirely people of color and immigrants—commuting miles from their urban homes to these bucolic campuses, at considerable cost and inconvenience to themselves. There ought to be on-campus affordable housing for staff and their children who are interested in such an arrangement.

Bougie Maserati Owner Leaves Car Running In The Middle Of Times Square, Car Promptly Stolen
NYDN - A fast-and-furious thief slipped into a parked Maserati sports coupe in Times Square and zoomed away while its owner stood nearby, cluelessly talking to a friend, police said. Chadwick Lange pulled up at the intersection of 47th St. and Broadway around 4:40 a.m. Sunday and hopped out to meet a buddy, police said. "He sees his friend, so he pulls over to talk to him," one police source said. Lange, 43, a big-shot real estate broker from Florida who recently moved to the city, left the keys in the ignition of the 2008 black GranTurismo — and didn't even bother to turn off the engine, police said. "He puts the car in park but doesn't take the keys out," the source said. "His friend is there; he starts talking to him while these two guys come up to him." They politely asked Lange if they could snap photos of the ride, which has a sticker price in the neighborhood of $150,000. After the duo took a few shots, Lange continued chatting up his pal — and one of the men sneakily jumped into the driver's seat and sped away, police said. The other faux photographer ran down the block, chasing the car. "He starts running south on Broadway and catches up to the car as it's turning the corner," the source added. The driver briefly halted the car as the second suspect dipped into the passenger seat as the driver made a right turn onto W. 47th St., heading toward Eighth Avenue — and out of sight, cops said.
Most unbelievable part of this story is the guys were able to zip away through Times Square. I mean I guess 47th and Broadway isn't the clusterfuck, circle of Hell you encounter down towards 42nd street, but still. Its not like they were on the Autobahn on the open road or something.
I have zero sympathy for anything that happens to a person who decides its a good idea to keep a several hundred thousand dollar car in New York City. There is absolutely no reason to have that car in Manhattan other than you're flashing your money. Its impractical to own any car in this God forsaken gridlocked prison, let alone a $150,000 car with 500 horsepower that sits about 4 inches from the ground. Thats the exact type of machine you want for 2 miles an hour of stop and go with asshole cab drivers and road rage commuters and suicidal bike messengers swarming you everywhere you go. And thats before we even address the fact that your little toy with 6 figure price tage sticks out like a sore thumb to every car jacker and 99% protester out there.
Just take a fancy car service wherever you go you idiots. Arrive in style and avoid the Times Square Grand Theft Auto.

Top 10: Bicep Exercises
Page 1 of 2
I thought I'd give your abs a rest this week and try making your biceps sore instead. If done correctly, the following exercises will get you those bulging biceps that you'll be dying to measure (and show off) in no time.Number 10
Get yourself a barbell with weight on it and hold it with your palms facing up, shoulder-width apart. Curl the bar halfway up 7 times; then curl it from the halfway point all the way up 7 times; then curl it from the bottom all the way up 7 times. Don't rest between segments.Number 9
Hangover barbell curls
Kneel on an inclined bench, with your chest leaning against the back rest and your arms hanging over the other side. Hold a barbell a little less than shoulder-width apart, making sure that your arms form a 90° angle with your chest at all times, and curl the bar 8 to 12 times.Number 8
Reverse grip curls with bar or cable
Hold a barbell or the straight attachment on a cable machine, with your palms facing down and your hands a little less than shoulder-width apart, and curl. Do 8 to 12 reps.Number 7
Inclined dumbbell curls
Sit on an inclined bench with dumbbells in each hand and hands down by your sides. You can do hammer curls (where you keep your palms facing your body at all times); regular curls (with palms facing up); or supinating curls (where you start with your palms facing your body, and about halfway through the movement, you turn them facing up). Do 8 to 12 reps.Number 6
Supinating dumbbell curls on ball
Sit on an exercise ball, holding dumbbells in each hand and with your arms by your sides, palms facing inward. Curl both arms at the same time, turning your palms up about halfway through the movement, so that you complete the curl with your palms facing upward.Tone your arms like they do in the military...

Component installation doesn't get any easier than this. The Shimano-designed direct mount is simple and foolproof. This Shimano XT Direct Mount Double Front Derailleur FD-M786D is a traditional styled (bottom-swing) front derailleur. It's nearly identical to the clamp-on FD-M786 part, save for the lack of a clamp. Instead, this one has a flat surface with an upright rib on the back that corresponds to the groove in the flat Direct Mount you'll find on your seat tube. One bolt holds it all together, and your only adjustment will be up and down in relation to the chainrings. Since there's no way to twist the derailleur around the seat tube, it goes on lined up perfectly with the chainrings, and your shifting should be spot-on once the cable tension and limit screws are set. It has been designed to optimize its function with two chainrings. To this end, the cage length and shaping is specific to the smaller diameter differential between the big and little rings on a 2x10 DynaSys drivetrain. Whether you run a 26/38t or a 28/42t crank, this is the changer you'll want. The limit screws are angled outward to facilitate adjustment for convoluted rear suspension designs as well. The Shimano XT Direct Mount Double Front Derailleur FD-M786D is specifically designed for use with Shimano's XT Double Crankset and directional 10-speed Dyna-Sys chain, and the maximum chainring size is 42 teeth. It can be used with top- or bottom-pull cable routing. Please note: this derailleur is not compatible with a triple chainring crankset.

Guest House Pitsinades, Pitsinades, Kythera
Editor's Pick
Pitsinades , Kythera
Greece 80200
Tel: 30 273 603 3877
Concierge.com's insider take:
Kythira is farther south than the other islands in this group and is easily overlooked by many travelers—but it shouldn't be. Windswept, dotted with whitewashed houses, and surrounded by stunning views, the island has an unspoiled, slightly desolate feel that has led to rumors of its being haunted. Nowhere is that stark beauty more evident than in the car-free medieval village of Pitsinades, home to this restored 150-year-old house. Its six unique rooms are decorated with vaulted arches, stone mosaics, and blue-and-white pottery; the quiet patio is a perfect place to watch the sun set or have your first cup of coffee (homemade marmalade is served with breakfast every morning). After breakfast, guests often wander among the neighboring villages or take a 20-minute drive to the harbor and pebble beaches of Agia Pelagia.
Closed mid-September through mid-June.

Ivana Safranková and Alexandra Pavalová's tiny Timoure shop updates classic A-lines and other '50s and '60s staples with deep-dyed colors like mauve and indigo, crisp lines, and an emphasis on texture. Even newer styles have a for-the-ages sensibility: A modern, pin-striped business suit manages to evoke Jean Seberg in Breathless. Cheaper than many of the higher-profile addresses in the Prague design ghetto, yet one of the best.

After a semester of hard work, being on holiday is both odd and exhilarating. I feel like I should be writing papers, perhaps on the third floor of Jordan Hall, in one of my favorite study locations: the anthropology lounge. It's a room with really cool windows, a microwave, and various tables and chairs. Some call it "the greenhouse." Admire.
It is especially nice when the sun is out. I have, well not exactly fond memories, but memories nonetheless of writing papers on GraceLand, Romanticism, Translations and Irish identity, Irish dance and Irish identity, and various other topics. I've popped in many a time to use the microwave to heat up my lunch. I've done physics problems. I've worked on my dance department self-evaluation. I have composed music for last year's Music Theory for Dance class. I've even eaten far too much ice cream in the anthro lounge. Good times.
Not to be working on something feels odd–and trust me, I DO have things to work on–but now I've started lazing around, I have a feeling it's going to be veeery hard to stop. Oh well! Classes don't start for the spring semester until January 18th, so I have a little while, I suppose.

If Telltale's slow-paced, thoughtful video game rendition of The Walking Dead isn't quite your cup of tea, maybe you'll better like the sound of Activision's just-announced game.
The publishing giant has revealed its also working on a game based on the popular zombie series, set for a 2013 release on Xbox, PS3 and PC, with Terminal Reality on development duties.
It's a first-person action game that tells the story of brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon before the events of the AMC series, as they make their way to the promised safety of Atlanta.
Players will choose to face off with zombies, who react on sight but also to smells and sounds, or use stealth to avoid them as they carefully manage limited supplies of ammo and food.
Daryl will meet other characters on the way that can pose a threat or be of assistance - which one will apparently be up to the player in what sounds like a decision-making mechanic.
"No place is truly safe for Daryl as he makes his way through the Georgia countryside in this new, post-apocalyptic world," says Activision.
Here's a teaser trailer:

By Tina Vasquez (Los Angeles)
In the previews to the new Sarah Jessica Parker film "I Don't Know How She Does It," we see a frantic and tired woman constantly in motion; she's running her children to school, dashing to the office, staying up all night creating her mental to-do list. Some contend that this is a thing of the past, that 10 years ago "having it all" became the obsession of a generation of women, but like Parker's character, there are still many who wholeheartedly believe they can have it all. They believe it is in their power to have a dynamic career, the picture perfect family, and a healthy marriage and social life – all while maintaining their supermom persona. According to new research, however, not only can this belief fall short, but it can also lead to depression.
Katrina Leupp, a University of Washington graduate student, recently authored a new study that found that working mothers who believe that home and the office can be seamlessly juggled are at greater risk for depression than their more realistic colleagues who accept they can't do it all.
Leupp looked at 1,600 women — a mix of working and stay-at-home mothers — who had previously participated in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which tracked kids in 1979 when they were between 14 and 22-years-old. As young adults, the women were asked to rate their attitudes regarding women's employment. Leupp then analyzed those answers alongside a score of the women's level of depression when they were 40. Her findings confirmed earlier studies that showed that women who are employed have better mental health than stay-at-home mothers. The study also revealed that women who rejected the myth of the supermom were less likely than "supermom-wannabes" to have symptoms of depression. According to Leupp, results remained similar when marital satisfaction and hours worked were considered.
Letting go of the dream of having it all can be very difficult, especially if you've spent every waking moment trying to maintain it. If we're being honest (and it's hard not to be when findings such as Leupp's become more common), acknowledging we're not perfect enables us to achieve so much more. By admitting that balance is impossible, you've already found the release valve for the working mom's unrelenting pressure.
Intensive and Intense
Women, it seems, are always caught in a Catch 22. As Betty Friedan taught us with The Feminine Mystique in 1963, "the problem with no name"—the malaise, emptiness, and frustration afflicting wives and mothers in an era of postwar abundance— is still something strongly felt by stay-at-home moms today, if not more so. But, as Leupp's research revealed, working moms may have lower rates of depression than their stay-at-home counterparts, but buying into the supermom myth could put working mothers at greater risk for depression. The grass is always greener on the other side and as many working moms dream of staying home full-time with their children, how are they expected to make peace with the reality that they can't have it all and that balancing work and life is impossible?
Julie Hurst uses a model that looks at active vs. passive living. In passive living, people feel at the mercy of their workload, overburdened, and overwhelmed; they feel that things are out of control. In active living, people feel in the driving seat of their life – including their work life. They are better equipped to manage their working lives as opposed to being at the mercy of them. Hurst's model covers psychological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral elements of change so that it is both wide-ranging and long-lasting.
Hurst is a psychotherapist and the director of The Work Life Balance Centre, which she created to help people deal with the increasingly overwhelming nature of work. According to Hurst, the last decade has seen work become more "intensive and intense," often leaving women feeling as if they're buckling under the pressure.
For 10 years Hurst led a national research project in the UK called the 24-7 survey, which looked at the ups and downs of modern working life. The results informed a great deal of the work she now does with the Centre and using her qualifications and experience, she began looking for a way to help people stress proof the way they worked. Studies such as the one authored by Leupp are of particular interest to Hurst, who tends to focus more heavily on the psychological effects of work/life balance issues, such as the depression women feel when trying to have it all.
"Interestingly there are few differences between the challenges faced by both men and women in terms of dealing with being overwhelmed at work, but it is at the interface between work and home that women often face an additional disadvantage," Hurst said. "My particular interest in this subject is psychological and deals with two facets that tend to be much more prevalent in women than men. One is guilt, as in, 'Am I selfish for wanting to have a career which takes me away from my family?' The other is perception, as in, 'Am I seen as less able by putting my family first?' Because these barriers are not externally obvious and are largely contained within each individual woman's own thoughts, worries, and feelings, they can be difficult to overcome because no one else knows they are there. Women can also be hesitant to speak up about emotional impacts."
In A Perfect World …
The first step to easing any depression that is being felt as a result of trying to juggle it all is seemingly simple: open up. Just as you immediately feel better after talking to a friend or loved one about a particularly trying day, discussing the internal barriers Hurst referenced makes it easier for individual women to see their way through the fog of what could have been or what they believe should be. If what you currently want in life has to be prefaced with the phrase, "In a perfect world …" then you know it's time to start from scratch.
If you simply can't make peace with not having it all, try to change your thinking about what having it all means in the present moment.
"I am often asked if it is possible to have it all and my answer is always the same: Yes, but not all at the same time. Our lives go in stages and as we grow, mature, and undergo lifestyle changes, we need to check in with ourselves as to whether we are keeping up to date with our priorities," Hurst said. "When we lose sight of the shape of our lives, when we try to take a life built about one set of needs, drives, wants, and priorities and then add in a whole new set without letting anything go – we are heading for trouble. I encourage women to be realistic."
Hurst recommends that women take a close look at their psychological needs and drives. What attracts them, energizes them, ignites their passion? What do they enjoy, crave, or feel drawn to? Is it having an impact? Is it solving problems? Is it being creative? If you work out what these things are, then you can ensure that these needs are met in a variety of ways, not just at work and not just at home. When doing this, whatever decisions you make about how you divide your time and where you put your energies do not seem like compromises. You do not feel as though you are missing out. These fundamental needs are met equally effectively in all the areas of your life, meaning you feel fulfilled regardless of your working patterns or work/home choices.
One of the most important concepts Hurst tackles when dealing with her female clients is teaching them that they need to be the number one priority in their own lives. For many women, this is an incredibly difficult concept to wrap their heads around. According to Hurst, it's as simple as this: If a woman loves and wants to care for her children, then she needs to love and take care of their mother. The more people need us, the more we need to ensure we are in a fit state, both emotionally and physically, in order to be there. This means putting yourself at the top of the list – not at the bottom. This is especially crucial for women raising young daughters. How can you expect to teach your child to have self-esteem if their primary role model undervalues herself and behaves as a martyr? According to Hurst, children learn what they live and will learn to value themselves when they see the women in their lives valuing themselves too.
"I remind women that good decision-making skills are critical; when you cannot do everything, make sure you do the right things," Hurst said. "We are not perfect, we never have been, we never will be and even trying to be is fruitless and ultimately soul destroying. We all need to celebrate our wonderful 'imperfectionism' every day."

Rumors abound that Konami presented non-disclosure agreements to reviewers wanting an early look at its latest game, Metal Gear Solid 4. While NDAs are common and generally accepted, this particular one attracted attention due to its claimed terms: specifically, reviewers were not to disclose certain facts about the game in their coverage. 1UP's Jeremy Parish not only confirms it, but describes further startling details: the NDA was presented only at the very end of a several-day reviewing session, applying retroactively. Worse, Parish suggests that they were threatened with detention until they signed it.
Unfortunately, the NDA was supposed to have been ready day one, which would have been fine. Our practice when presented with NDAs is to run them by the legal department first. But they didn't give us our NDAs on the first day. Or the second. Instead, they presented them to us at the literal last moment — I was watching the game's closing credits scroll past — and made it clear that we wouldn't be leaving until we signed them. This was a problem, as we had a plane to catch and a magazine to ship within the next few hours, which didn't leave time for running things by legal. So, despite some misgivings, we signed. We didn't really leave us a choice.
The part that's really incongruous is that Parish's presentation of this absurd situation is cast as a defense of Konami, even though it resulted in suboptimal coverage, a bout of internal hand-wringing after they signed the NDA, and was plainly extortive. It is "not-at-all-sordid," he writes. Parish even casts criticism of Konami in straw-man fashion, as people calling the company "Nazis."
Standard procedure in journalism when authorities threaten to detain you is to know your rights and call your editor immediately. Standard procedure in journalism when PR people threaten you? Hard to know, really, because it's hilarious.
In honor of the outrageous threats allegedly made by Konami's PR goons, BBG presents Escape from Konami, an awful flash game. Click it to begin. Enjoy!

Little Blue Heron, Florida caerulea
Print size 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 28 1/2" x 20 1/2"
Princeton Audubon Limited Edition - produced 1985
The white bird in the background is an immature little blue heron, quite as white as an egret and often mistaken for one since it does not wear its adult plumage until two years of age. The view of the countryside near Charleston, South Carolina, was painted by George Lehman.
Audubon wrote of the little blue heron: "You may see this graceful Heron, quietly and in silence walking along the margins of the water, with an elegance and grace which can never fail to please you. Each regularly-timed step is lightly measured, while the keen eye of the bird seeks for and watches the equally cautious movements of the objects towards which it advances with all imaginable care. When at a proper distance, it darts forth its bill with astonishing celerity, to pierce and secure its prey."
Princeton Audubon prints are direct-camera facsimile lithographs of the Robert Havell Jr. (1793-1878) engravings for The Birds of America (1827-38). Princeton's Double elephant Folio prints are issued in limited editions of 500 or 1500 prints. All are numbered and have a seal in the bottom margin to demonstrate their authenticity.
Printed on heavy Mohawk paper that is recommended by the Library of Congress for archives, the paper is specially toned to match the average paper color of the antique originals.

The Will of the People
Episode 20: The Will of the People
AIR DATES: November 12, 19, 1990
Phone conversations with viewers of Episode 19: Democratic Television. The topic: What do you want to see on television?
A caller says his favorite word is Shmoo so the camera roams the streets and finds twenty strangers to repeat it. In response to repeated urgings to get out of the basement, Joe reads the weeks mail outside, by the lakefront (sitting in the same overstuffed chair, of course.)
A woman invites Joe to visit her storefront, leading to the first fan encounter. Another is equally brazen: this guy Paul, hes cute. I want to see his butt on TV.
The camera swings over to Paul, who drops his pants, revealing a talking Butt-Creature which recites Shakespeare (something another viewer asked for.)
Clearly, Joes Basement had arrived, as a program with a devoted following.

Wind Power Without the Blades: Big Pics. Hot springs microbe yields record-breaking, heat-tolerant enzyme. Public release date: 5-Jul-2011 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Robert email@example.com 510-643-6998University of California - Berkeley Bioprospectors from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Maryland School of Medicine have found a microbe in a Nevada hot spring that happily eats plant material – cellulose – at temperatures near the boiling point of water.
Generating 'green' electricity: Waste heat converted to electricity using new alloy. University of Minnesota engineering researchers in the College of Science and Engineering have recently discovered a new alloy material that converts heat directly into electricity.
This revolutionary energy conversion method is in the early stages of development, but it could have wide-sweeping impact on creating environmentally friendly electricity from waste heat sources. Researchers say the material could potentially be used to capture waste heat from a car's exhaust that would heat the material and produce electricity for charging the battery in a hybrid car. Other possible future uses include capturing rejected heat from industrial and power plants or temperature differences in the ocean to create electricity. The research team is looking into possible commercialization of the technology. Stanford researchers use river water and salty ocean water to generate electricity.
Public release date: 29-Mar-2011 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Louis firstname.lastname@example.com 650-725-1944Stanford University Stanford researchers have developed a battery that takes advantage of the difference in salinity between freshwater and seawater to produce electricity.
Anywhere freshwater enters the sea, such as river mouths or estuaries, could be potential sites for a power plant using such a battery, said Yi Cui, associate professor of materials science and engineering, who led the research team. The theoretical limiting factor, he said, is the amount of freshwater available. Technology. High Efficiency Design to Produce 200% of the Power Output of Conventional Solar Cells Revolutionary Design Our revolutionary 3-dimensional silicon solar cell is designed to maximize the conversion of sunlight into electricity.
We have developed two breakthrough features in our single wafer silicon solar cell that we believe will deliver benefits that have eluded the solar industry to date. High Efficiency – Our innovative solar cell technology utilizes a 3-dimensional design to increase the conversion efficiency by trapping sunlight inside photovoltaic micro-structures where photons bounce around until they are converted into electrons.
Wide Angle Light Collection - Our solar cell has a special wide angle feature on the surface to capture more light in the morning and evening hours, as well as in the winter months when the sun is not directly overhead. We estimate that our patent-pending 3-dimensional cell can produce 200% of the power output of conventional solar cells.
