The main thing to remember is that the more floor space you can see, the bigger the room will appear.
Keep areas beneath furniture free and clear to make the area feel bigger.
This space isn't small, but it shows how keeping the flooring color the same from room to room furthers the feeling of spaciousness.
Remove your area rugs and scatter rugs. Unbroken floor space always makes a room appear larger.
This includes bath mats in the bathroom — few things make a bathroom room appear smaller than chopping up the flooring with bath mats. There's a reason you don't see them in design magazines.
Skip the skirts on upholstered furniture. Incorporate leggy pieces and glass or Lucite tables.
Let your light shine! A well-lit room always looks larger. Let in the natural light and add lots of attractive artificial light in the form of hanging light fixtures, sconces and lamps.
Mirrored furniture and framed mirrors reflect light and space — use them to your advantage in a small room.
Install French doors, get rid of heavy window dressings and banish your sheers to make your room feel more open and spacious.
Tall pieces of furniture in the far corners of a room draw your eye back and make the room look bigger, especially if the furniture is light-colored, like these white armoires (click photo to see full view).
This interior illustrates how a warm, neutral wall color throughout an open floor plan, along with lots of different light sources, draws your eye all around the space and expands the sense of size.

I tried running make again but it failed at the same place -- MPC configure couldn't find the MPFR libraries even though they were there. I've tried with, and without, make -j 2. It took me five attempts to get GCC to build; I tried removing all traces of GCC, reextracting, and trying again with no success. On one occasion, in desperation, I copied and pasted all the commands to remove the possibility of an error introduced by me, but still no success. Finally, I left the computer running and had a break. I returned and tried again and bingo -- GCC compiled. I'm at a loss to explain why MPC configure finally found the MPFR libraries when it couldn't find them before. To sum up -- whatever I did to try and make the compilation of GCC succeed had absolutely no affect. On the fifth attempt when it did succeed I had removed all traces of GCC, reextracted, and run configure and make, exactly as I had in some previous failed attempts.

Perl keeps track of online orders
The script needs the Sysadm::Install, Cache::FileCache, DateTime, and DateTime::Format::Strptime modules from CPAN, which are best installed by way of a CPAN shell to resolve dependencies automatically. Alternatively, you can use your Linux package manager if its repository has all of the required modules on hand. Their names might be slightly different in this case, though: libsysadm-install-perl, for example, is Debian's idea of Sysadm::Install.
Before you start, you will need to set up an empty server-side repository manually with the use of git init (Figure 2). Perl modules are not required on the hosted machine; however, you do need the git program, but it is part of most of today's Linux systems anyway.
Figure 7 shows how the first client initializes its local repository, uses shop buy to enter a couple of purchases, runs shop list to query the local database, and ultimately transfers data to the server with shop push. The shop commands do not produce any output if they run successfully.
The second client then uses shop clone to create a local clone of the server repository, as shown in Figure 8. That client also makes a couple of purchases and tags the iPod Nano transaction with Amazon as complete. It then issues a shop push to push the local changes to the server.
The same procedure applies to all further clients; again, they first clone the server repository, make some changes to the local repository, push the new data to the server, and receive the latest updates from the other clients via a server pull. The feast of orders can go on and on, and thankfully, Git will notice immediately any deliveries that fail to reach their destination because of mail problems or supplier sloppiness.

Noel Fielding (born 21 May 1973) is an English comedian, actor, artist, DJ and musician. Fielding is best known for playing Vince Noir in The Mighty Boosh, which he co-wrote with co-star and comedy partner, Julian Barratt. In 2009, he became a team captain on BBC Two music/comedy panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He also writes and appears as the central character in Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. Fielding portrayed Richmond Avenal in The IT Crowd. He is the founder of the band Loose Tapestries, formed with Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno.
Born in Westminster, London,[1] Fielding performed regularly as a stand-up comedian during the late 1990s, and appeared repeatedly on the television stand-up showcase Lee Mack's Gas. His highly animated stand-up routine included surreal stories, physical comedy, characters, and songs, much like his later work in The Mighty Boosh.
In 2010, Fielding was to perform a solo tour across the country. It was cancelled, however, so he could concentrate on writing The Mighty Boosh film and album with Barratt. Fielding announced via Twitter that he was too busy to do the tour.[2]
In 2010, Fielding took part in Channel 4's Comedy Gala, a benefit show held in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and filmed live at the O2 Arena in London on 30 March.
Fielding is best known for playing the role of Vince Noir, a childlike eccentric, opposite Julian Barratt (Howard Moon) in the cult comedy series The Mighty Boosh.
Fielding met Barratt when he was performing a gig. Impressed by Fielding's skill, Barratt offered him a place to perform, and the two went on to form a partnership. Barratt and Fielding are said to have compared their relationship to a marriage; the character of Vince Noir is a kind, somewhat naive and loyal friend to the self-centered, neurotic and ambitious Howard Moon. Vince can talk to animals, earning him the nickname "Mowgli in Flares". Vince is vibrant and flamboyant, contrasting with his friend Howard, who is more like a "geography teacher from Leeds".
As well as Noir, Fielding plays various supporting characters in the Mighty Boosh, including: Tony Harrison, a small pink head with tentacles and member of the shaman council; The Hitcher, a cockney hitch-hiker with a polo mint for an eye; The Moon; Spider Dijon, a bongoist in Rudi's band; and Old Gregg, a hermaphroditic merman obsessed with Baileys Irish Cream and watercolors.
The Mighty Boosh has won the Shockwaves NME Best TV Award 3 times (in 2007, 2008, and 2010)
Outside his work on The Mighty Boosh, Fielding has also had bit parts in many of Channel 4's somewhat off-beat comedy programmes, including Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd, AD/BC: A Rock Opera and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, more often than not appearing alongside Julian Barratt. He also appeared in 1998 sketch show Unnatural Acts. In February 2007, Fielding appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks as a panellist, before going on to become a permanent team captain. Fielding also made a short appearance in the film Plunkett & Macleane as a bystander to Robert Carlyle's scuffle in a brothel. Fielding appeared on The Charlotte Church Show as a special guest.
At Bill Bailey's request, Fielding stood in as a team captain for three episodes during Season 21 of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He also achieved a record for the highest team score ever on the show. When Bailey returned, presenter Simon Amstell made various jokes about Fielding's departure. In 2009, Bailey left the show and Fielding became one of the regular team captains. According to Neil Gaiman's blog, Fielding was scheduled to appear in the film Stardust, but had to drop out due to ill health.[3] He also participated twice with Russell Brand in 2006 and 2007 on the annual quiz show The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. He participated again in 2010 with Richard Ayoade, Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, Michael McIntyre, and Ruth Jones. (Charlotte Church was scheduled to participate but she was unable to do so).[4][5]
In 2008, Fielding appeared with comic partner Julian Barratt on Transmission. As usual, he wore a somewhat flamboyant attire, this time featuring Cuban heels and polka dot trousers.
In 2009, he helped host Comic Relief Does Top of the Pops with Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton.
Fielding played the role of "Marcus" in the series 3 of How Not to Live Your Life, which was broadcast in November 2010.
Fielding produced his first solo series for the Channel 4 network's E4 channel in 2011,[6] as the broadcaster invests an additional £5 million in its comedy budget following the cancellation of reality show Big Brother.[7] Fielding said of the project, tentatively titled Noel Fielding: Boopus: "I want to make something in the spirit of Spike Milligan or the Kenny Everett Show but using modern techniques. Blending filmed comedy with animation. Television needs a madman! I want the show to be psychedelic and beautiful but have charm and personality. If Dalí made a show hopefully it would look like this."[6][8] The show has since been renamed Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy and began broadcasting on Channel 4's E4 channel on 26 January 2012. It contains many aspects of animation composed with live action. A video shown to a select audience of C4 staff, producers, writers, performers and journalists showed the Boosh star as a stingray, discussing the recording of albums. Similar to the Mighty Boosh, in Luxury Comedy Fielding plays a wide array of characters including an optimistic lion, a chocolate finger, a deranged clown, a New York cop, a music producer stingray, and a futuristic Don Quixote called Fantasy Man.[citation needed]
Fielding performed a dance to "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush for Let's Dance for Comic Relief reaching the finale. He has also appeared in a Kate Bush video for the remix version of "Deeper Understanding".
Fielding starred in the 2001 Mighty Boosh radio series as Vince Noir and other characters. It was broadcast on BBC London Live. He also appeared on The Russell Brand Show on BBC Radio 2 on 26 May 2007 and 13 October 2007, and Team Disgusting's show on Life fm as a co-host for one episode, along with fellow Team Disgusting members Melvis and Birdy.
In November 2007 Fielding starred in five episodes of BBC Radio 2 show Vic Reeves' House Arrest as a local vagrant who knocks on Reeves' door once a week to ask for work.[9] His character is often given seemingly pointless tasks, such as building a galleon out of sausages, and is paid in small change.

Fielding has appeared in several music videos, including Mint Royale's "Blue Song", alongside Julian Barratt, Nick Frost and Michael Smiley. He also made a brief appearance in the video for Razorlight's "In the Morning". He appeared in music videos for the Robots in Disguise songs "Girl" (alongside Chris Corner who was, at the time, boyfriend to Sue Denim), "The Tears", and "Turn It Up". In 2009, Noel was involved in the Kasabian video "Vlad the Impaler", in which he plays the titular character, and he's referenced in "La Fée Verte" (his friend Sergio Pizzorno said "The line, 'I met Dalí in the street.' Dalí is Noel Fielding. And he is the modern-day Dalí"). Fielding also makes a brief appearance as Vlad in the video for another Kasabian song, "Re-Wired", riding a five-seater bicycle with the band. He has also appeared in Kate Bush's music video "Deeper Understanding" as a means of thanks for the Let's Dance for Comic Relief performance.
Fielding is friends with the members of Razorlight, and involved them in the "Priest and the Beast" episode of The Mighty Boosh. Fielding lent his voice to the Midfield General song "Midfielding". Fielding also sometimes plays bass live for Robots in Disguise. Furthermore, he has been known to DJ, often playing at The Barfly in London with the rest of The Mighty Boosh or with his DJ collective known as Team Disgusting, made up of six women and the Rev (formerly of Towers of London). Lately, he has been DJing with Dave Brown, who plays Bollo in The Mighty Boosh, under the DJing phenomenon, the Doctor and the Pencil, who first appeared in the Boosh episode "The Chokes".
Fielding is half of Loose Tapestries, a comedy music partnership with Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno, set up to create music for Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy.
He held his first exhibition, entitled Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox, at Maison Bertaux, a patisserie in Greek Street, Soho in early 2008. He claimed that he was inspired by Henri Rousseau, René Magritte, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, and Dexter Dalwood.[citation needed] He has also revealed that he feels inspired by Salvador Dalí. A second exhibition entitled "Bryan Ferry vs the Jelly Fox" took place at Maison Bertaux, from 5 July 2010 through to 5 January 2011.[citation needed]
On 6 September 2011, Fielding received Honorary Masters Degrees from Buckinghamshire New University for his ongoing interest in the graphics area and support for many art organisations.[citation needed] In October 2011, Fielding released an art book called 'Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton', which he produced alongside with The Mighty Boosh cast member, Dave Brown (comedian). It features many of his old and new paintings, drawings and photography.[citation needed]
Fielding's video installation of 'The Jelly Fox' was shown at the Saatchi Gallery, and in 2012 he created a unique piece inspired by The Beatles for Liverpool Love at the Museum of Liverpool.
His brother is Michael Fielding, who appears as Naboo the Enigma in The Mighty Boosh and also portrays various characters in Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. Fielding resides in Highgate, North London with his partner, Xfm DJ Lliana Bird. His parents are Dianne and Ray Fielding, both of whom have appeared in Mighty Boosh episodes. He also revealed on Russell Brand's radio show that his grandmother is French.[10] According to an article in The Sunday Times he has said that his "parents had lots of parties" during his childhood. He has also stated that his parents "were just 18" when they had him.[11] Fielding is close friends with Julian Barratt, Richard Ayoade and Rich Fulcher, whom he was worked with on numerous occasions, and he is also friends with Courtney Love, Russell Brand and Johnny Borrell, as well as the members of Kasabian. Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno is part of Fielding's Loose Tapestries project, set up to make music for his series Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. Fielding played the role of Vlad the Impaler in the video of the Kasabian song of the same name, and reprised his role at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival.[12] The music video was directed by Richard Ayoade. Fielding is a fan of the bands Led Zeppelin[13] Kiss,[14] Pink Floyd, Nirvana,[15] Tame Impala, Everything Everything and Bo Ningen.[16] He is also a fan of Gary Numan, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, Cher and Adam Ant, as well as director David Lynch.
Fielding was educated at Croydon Art College in South London then studied for a BA in Graphic Design and Advertising at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College (now Buckinghamshire New University)[17] in High Wycombe, where he lived with friends and future collaborators Dave Brown and Nigel Coan.[18] He graduated in 1995.[19] At some point, Fielding has also shared a flat with comedian Lee Mack, as revealed by Mack on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Fielding has stated that he has no middle name, was never baptised, and does not follow a religion.[20]
In 2009, a Sunday Times article revealed that Fielding had hepatitis during his art college years and later revealed he was helped through this by friend and collaborator Nigel Coan. This forced him not to drink for six months which got him into the habit of not drinking for a couple of years. "I used to be able to enjoy myself with just nothing. I'd stay up till four in the morning, with everyone else being drunk. Just make a bit of effort and you can get used to it. "[11]
Since around 2010, Fielding has been in a relationship with XFM DJ Lliana Bird.[21] He previously dated Dee Plume, half of female electropunk band Robots in Disguise for around ten years before splitting in 2009/2010 and the duo appeared alongside Fielding and Barratt in The Mighty Boosh.

Brunswick County Schools Time changesSubmitted by Parent thinking of Children not self (not verified) on Wed, 05/11/2011 - 10:54pm.
The comments are not parents thinking of themselves. They are Parents who this will make a difference. Your comment is really not needed. It is more than a minor adjustment for High School Children who have Sports and jobs also. There are ways to make changes without doing this. Most Parents do work and it is people like you that vote for these changes. You obviously do not have 3 children in the school system or if you do, you must be getting some kind of benefit do to the change. There are other ways to cut cost without our children and their education being the one who suffer. I really feel your comment was not worth reading. If you want to bad mouth people sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut. »

Their fun and interactive lessons are geared for grades K-3 and 4-6. Each lesson is part of a 3-lesson series that supplements numerous California Science Content Standards and EEI Standards. While they focus on air quality and pollution, they also promote environmental literacy and sustainable practices.
If you are interested in having our Clean Air Ambassadors teach in your classroom or have questions about the program, please fill out this quick Presentation Request Form. You will be contacted shortly by one of our Ambassadors!
Resources and Our Environment
Using an interactive lesson plan involving the story of Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax", instructors demonstrate how air pollution affects plants, animals, and humans. Students learn the crucial role that trees play in the air cycle and discuss ways in which they can improve the air quality around them.
Filters and Our Health
Through demonstrations, students learn how air pollution can negatively affect their health and how kids are actually more at risk than adults. Students also learn how air filters work through experimentation with various water filters.
The Effects of Air Pollution
Students review material presented in the previous two lesson and go into a more in depth view of air on a molecular level. Through a fun activity, students learn that air has mass and is affected by temperature and wind patterns. Lastly, students break into groups and lead a concluding presentation reviewing all the material presented in the lesson series.
Climate Change
Students learn the properties of the greenhouse effect, current trends of climate change, and the causation behind the phenomena. Numerous experiments show how the greenhouse effect works and how change in temperatures affects weather patterns.
Waste, Energy and Transportation
Students learn how waste, energy, and transportation connect to the quality of air and the health of the global environment. Students learn the difference between renewable and non-renewable energies through a fun interactive competition.
Clean Air City
Students use the knowledge gained from the previous two lessons and incorporate it into building the ideal, environmentally friendly city. Groups of students will be guided in creating their clean air city through a series of city planning questions. At the end, students will present their cities to the class and be evaluated based on their ability to solve current environmental problems.
Designing a Clean Air City
In this lesson, students will map out ideal cities to learn how thoughtful land use planning and environmentally responsible choices can lead to improved air quality, through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and improved quality of life. Review Lesson Pan
Car Tally
This activity is a mini-field trip that provides students with hands-on experience in conducting a traffic survey in their own community, analyzing their data, and exploring the connection between traffic and air pollution. If time permits, students can create presentations of their data. Review Lesson Plan
Cilia Game
This activity shows students how cilia keep particle pollution out of the lungs and how some particle pollution gets through the lungs. This lesson will teach students about what particle pollution is and some of the side effects of high levels of particulate matter. Review Lesson Plan
Sixteen science based lessons for San Luis Obispo County teachers. This curriculum was originally designed for grades 4 and 5, but the APCD has had success modifying the curriculum to include grades K through 12:
Air Simulation
By pretending to be air molecules, students from grades K to 3 will imitate physical processes associated with air, such as heat, wind, and condensation. The 30 to 50 minute activity provides students with a great introduction to the scientific concept of air. Review lesson plan
Sampling Particulate Matter from Air
This activity is geared to teach 3rd to 6th graders about air particles by participating in air sample collection, analysis, and data review. The lesson plan takes an hour a day for 2 to 3 days. Review lesson plan
Does Air Weigh Anything?
The lesson demonstrates for 4th to 6th graders that air has weight. In 40 to 50 minutes students gain an introductory understanding of matter. Review Lesson Plan
Want your Kids to have some fun & learn about air pollution all at the same time!?
Are you an Air Head? Test out your air quality IQ by taking the Kid Quiz! Make sure to get your certificate for "Air Head" experts at the end of the quiz.

Owls defeat Parkers Prairie
The Hancock Owls volleyball team got their first win against Parkers Prairie last Thursday night. "The Owls did some pretty good things but also made a few mental errors" said Coach Tara Thielke. "The great thing is that they did not give up, they pulled together as a team and got the win. When times seemed hard they did not hang their heads but kept on pushing and they succeeded. It was an overall good team victory."

Mother's Open Letter To Daughter Regarding Miley Cyrus Goes Viral
This is mom to the awesome! (via The Blaze)
Dear daughter, let Miley Cyrus be a lesson to you
Yes, this is what happens when you constantly hear everything you do is awesome. This is what happens when people fawn over your every Tweet and Instagram photo. This is what happens when no responsible adult has ever said the word "no," made you change your clothes before leaving the house, or never spanked your butt for deliberate defiance.
If you ever even consider doing something like that, I promise you that I will run up and twerk so you will see how ridiculous twerking looks. I will duct tape your mouth shut so your tongue doesn't hangout like an overheated hound dog. I will smack any male whom you decide to smash against his pelvis — after I first knock you on your butt for forgetting how a lady acts in public.
Why would I do that? Because I love you and I want you to respect yourself. Miley Cyrus is not edgy or cool or sexy. She's a desperate girl screaming for attention: Notice me. Tell me I'm pretty. See how hot I am. I know all the guys want me. All the girls want to be me.
There's a bit more, so make sure to click the link to read the rest at Roadkill Goldfish (love to know the full story behind that name. Something about compact cars hitting goldfish).
Now, is it necessarily fair to make Miley the subject? Well, sure, this is life, which ain't fair. Miley was probably the last straw regarding a society that tolerates this kind of trash. There was also Lady Gaga running around on stage wearing a thong, further taking time to talk to other attendees wearing same thong and making sure it was captured on camera (you want that link, search it). Music has always been edgy, but it has truly gone trash. Remember the Britney Spears meltdown? How about Lindsay Lohan? Madonna? Kinda makes me pine for the good old days when musical artists were just doing drugs and alcohol. The big problem here is that the music is aimed at young teens, who need not be exposed to this kind of trash.
This seems to be what society has been moving towards. Remember the horrendous Beyonce Super Bowl halftime? The Lonely Conservative wrote at the time
It was unanimous in the LC home, we all hated the Super Bowl halftime show. Beyonce's outfit, if you can call it that, was extremely slutty, and she gyrated around like an animal in heat. The music wasn't even good. The only thing missing was a stripper pole.
And there was this comment by Gary
I was appalled by the slutty , lewd sexually explicit type "show". No modesty, no smiles, but sneers, haughtiness and proud looks, and it gets worse each year, it seems. The NFL should be ashamed of this Sodom and Gomorrah they promote. I seldom watch halftime shows on super bowls. I would rather see marching bands, or modest music, and singers. We are in a declining, dying culture.
This is all an extension of the "if it feels good, do it" culture, regardless of how it looks to others and regardless of its effects on others. Liberals and feminists more and more want to turn young women into sexualized adults, rather than just letting them be kids. And then these same liberals and feminists are shocked that women are treated more and more as sex playthings, even though they created the atmosphere where women sexualize themselves, put racy pictures and vids, including pornography, on-line. There's a big difference between sex appeal and sexual objectification. Quite frankly, young teens and pre-teens shouldn't have to worry about either.

text: tE: "That is to say, what the wealthy and the less wealthy consume is becoming more alike, even as the range of incomes widens." This is a misconception. The wealthy do NOT spend like you and me. If Far East imports have given legs to the dollar/euro spent by the lower classes, the case at the upper end is not similar. Know anyone from the poor who spent a week last winter at Gstaad? Who drives a Merc? Cars/houses are made increasingly more nowadays to distinguish the simply rich from the filthy rich. Disposable income, I maintain, is still spent differently depending upon each economic class. Each class spends its leisure time differently, and this is becoming an important component of personal expenditure. In fact, the poorest classes spend more on drugs than they do on leisure - which is almost nil. It is their way of escaping. More importantly, this sort of analysis trivializes income unfairness. Look at the Piketty-Saez analysis of income distribution in the last century (the data expanse is from 1900 to 2000). At the turn of the 20th century the top 0.1% of American income earners garnered between 2 and 2.5% of the total income generated. As progressive taxation was applied, due largely to the 16th amendment to the Constitution in 1913, the tax bite (amongst other factors as well) brought this figure down to about 0.5% of total income. Lo and behold, from 1980 (who was president, then?) onward the data shows clearly a resurgence. By 1988, the top 0.1% was earning 2% of total income, and by 2000 their share had spiked to 2.7%. The Robber Barons were back �. Regardless of China�s export of household gadgets/stuff, the stark reality of income inequity is that it is intolerable in a country that has a third-class Health Care system and which the average student leaving university has a debt of $17,000 hanging like an albatross around their neck. And that same country is pissing away a colossal fortune in a useless war over in the sandbox ... where who is dieing "for their country"? The top 0.1% of wage earners? No way, Jos�. Go figure. But, do not trivialize income inequity. Comment originally posted on September 5, 2007 8:02 AM

Over the past two weeks my gmail app 4.5.2 would stop loading new msgs and showing no connection.
After a bit of trial and error i found out that is not gmail app since new release didnt fix it.
Instead if i delete my google account from my sgs2 then add it back it works. Though it seems to work for say 4 days or so the it will get stuck again.. i already did it 3 times.
So my question is.. is it the phone database? How do i fix it? From my google account it shows 'full access' so is ok in fact i thought permissions might be off?
When i add it back onto the phone it says i need to login from the web first. I do it, works then after approx 4 days its broken again...
Any help appreciated is driving me crazy..

Sins Of The World Washed Away: The mist shrouds and floats in the valleys, gentle wind moving it slowly. Overcast skies, day gloomy, bringing forth small rain drops. Refreshing the trees, cleansing nature all around. Renew. Green. Fresh the air. Moist petals. Snails now roam. Droplets of water, clinging from all the leaves. Now a rainbow does appear. Everything seems bright and new. All the sins of the world washed away.

And because of this crowd of teachers, even if by chance you find an enlightened being, there is every possibility that you will not recognize him. He will be outrageous. He will be such a shock to you that you will want to escape from him. You will feel as if you are dying. He will destroy every concept, every idea, every philosophy that you have carried all along, thinking that it is so precious. With the enlightened master whatsoever you have been carrying as diamonds will prove to be just ordinary stones and nothing else: "Throw them away!" And your whole investment has been in those so-called diamonds. The greatest possibility is that you will escape from such a man and cling to your stones.
It needs guts to be with a master, guts to renounce your ego, guts to renounce your past, guts to renounce all your investments, guts to live dangerously - against the society, against the culture, against the whole past. A true disciple is a rebel, just as a true master is the ultimate in rebellion.
It is certainly true that compassion and love are natural, spontaneous by-products of enlightenment; if they are not there then the person is not enlightened. But again I have to remind you, because you can misunderstand the word compassion and the word love, because the meaning will be given by you.
What do you mean by compassion? It is a quality that surrounds the master. It has nothing to do with service to the poor, opening hospitals and orphanages, feeding the hungry and sheltering beggars - it has nothing to do with that. Compassion is the transformation of passion. Your sexual energy is transformed, first into love and then into compassion. Sex is like a seed, love is like a flower, and compassion is like a fragrance.
But by compassion you will understand service to the poor. These servants of the poor are one of the reasons poverty is not disappearing from the earth. Unless you stop this whole stupidity of serving the poor and start destroying poverty, it is not going to disappear. In fact, the servants of the poor would like poverty to survive, otherwise what will happen to the servants?
Karpatri, a Hindu teacher very well-known in India, is worshipped by the Hindus. He has written a book and in that book he talks about socialism and the Hindu religion. He gives many reasons why he is against the idea of socialism and one of the most important reasons that he gives is worth considering. He says the Hindu religion teaches that service to the poor, giving donations to the poor is the way to heaven, and socialism tries to destroy poverty completely. It tries to distribute money, and when money is distributed equally then there will be no poor and no rich. Who is going to donate to whom? And who is going to serve the poor? - because there will be no poor left. That means socialism will destroy the very roots of Hinduism. Unless you donate to the poor you cannot reach heaven. Socialism seems to be the most dangerous thing that can happen to people who are searching for heaven and God - the very ladder is being destroyed!
So he says that money has not to be distributed equally because it is far more important to reach heaven, to realize God. He also says that a person is poor because he has committed sins in his past life, and a person is rich because he has been virtuous in his past life. Who are you to disturb this law of karma? The poor have to be poor, the rich have to be rich. They are simply getting whatsoever they deserve; there should be no interference. This comes from a great Hindu saint, and even after this book he is still worshipped as a great saint.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Staples Crossing gears up for Legion tourney
Tuesday, July 30, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Shawn Gillis hopes last Thursday's loss to Fayette Staples in the Zone 5 championship game translates into motivation as his Eliot Post 188 (Staples Crossing) American Legion baseball team enters the first state tournament of its seven years as a program.
Brewer scored six runs in the sixth inning to win Thursday's Zone 1 championship game over Bangor, 10-3.
"As far as our offensive approach at the plate, I'm very confident," Gillis said. "But at any level, if a team throws a No. 1 at you and he's on his game, he can shut you down. We'll just take the same approach these guys have taken under (Marshwood High School coach Eric Fernandes) and we'll roll the dice and see what happens."
"They are very motivated. They want to win," Gillis said. "They came very, very close in the high school season, so I think they want to keep going." |

Well, I was delighted to make my very first trip to the very first park last week; my wife and I spent four days and three nights at the Disneyland Hotel. Some thoughts and first impressions: * THE FIRST AND BEST. This park is the real deal. There is an integrity and attention to detail to this place that really puts the Magic Kingdom at WDW to shame. Not only is everything on a smaller, more human scale, but each land is perfectly self-contained, in terms of geography, landscaping and architecture. You don't see the castle in Frontierland, or the spires from the towers of Tomorrowland, and each little area is expertly thought-out. * THE JOY OF SETS. At the Magic Kingdom, you are definitely aware that the buildings are, to a great extent, facades. Not so in DL. From every angle, even from above, they are designed to look like little villages should look, not like props on a stage. * CEILINGS, WHOA WHOA WHOA, CEILINGS... Time and again at WDW, when you cruise through the rides (say, "It's a Small World" or "Pirates of the Carribean") you can look up and see the ceilings and the wiring. Not at DL. The darkness and lighting are superb. When you pass through the fog in "Pirates," and that great ship looms large, it's stunning. Look up, and all you see is inky blackness. That's just as it should be. * SAY WHAT? The sound systems in the attractions at WDW are just awful. Words, lines, lyrics -- all a muddle of noise. But at DL, I heard every syllable perfectly. Even "Small World" -- all the different languages sounded like different languages, and it makes a tremendous difference! Overall, you get the sense that they cut some corners at the MK, and that's a pity. Also, the size and scope of the place can be daunting. DL feels more like a park -- not an AMUSEMENT park. (I can't understand why the WDW people don't wise up and make adjustments that would enhance the MK -- better lighting and sound would be an excellent start.) I still love 'em both. But for my money, right now, DL has the definite edge. Few more little things: morning crowds were very manageable (Fri, Sat and Sun) but after noon was a chore; food overall was very good (especially the buffet at Goofy's Kitchen at the hotel); Fast Pass is terrific, just as it is at WDW, but I wish they offered it at more attractions; and the park grounds were virtually spotless. I can't wait to return after they open the California Adventure /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif ! "It's the time of your life, so live it well..." Greg K. Forest Hills, NY GF '96,'97,'99 Disneyland '00 [This message was edited by Greg K. on 08-28-00 at 01:50 PM.]
Hi, Greg! Glad that you had a great time! How did you like the DL Hotel? I'd appreciate your opinion.
We liked the hotel very much. Mind you, it's not the Grand Floridian -- few places are! -- but it was comfortable (if not fancy), well-appointed, and clean. I'm not sure it's worth the price for what is, essentially, a glorified Holiday Inn, but it offers some perks (early mornings, package delivery and such) that we found invaluable. Some nitpicking: the trip to the monorail, or the tram, was incredibly long. With the monorail only running one way, due to construction, it could take 45 minutes or more to get from our hotel room into the park. Also, it was bit of a a surprise to get out the door around 7 for a 7:30 park opening, spend five or six hours in the park, eat lunch, and return to our room around 2 in the afternoon for a nap, only to find that the room had not yet been cleaned. Finally, they charge for valet parking. I don't remember how much, but I believe it was about five bucks for a regular visit and ten or more for overnight guests. At WDW, it's free. Still, to take advantage of the early mornings, it was definitely worth it. We got a lot done between 7:30 and 11. And after that, it was Mob City. "It's the time of your life, so live it well..." Greg K. Forest Hills, NY GF '96,'97,'99 Disneyland '00
Greg, I have been going to Disneyland since I was little and I am now 49. I go at least once a year and go to WDW about every 3 years. But you described the differences perfectly. I always feel so "at home" at DL and it looks attractive and well thought out wherever you look. I love it there. I can see why Walt wanted an apartment there, it seems so much less commercial than WDW.
I too think you hit the nail on the head about the differences between DL and WDW. I make it over to DL about twice a year and we were at WDW early this year. I much prefer DL over the Magic Kingdom anyday because of all the reasons you state, especially the scaled down size and the attention to detail. As much as I love WDW, DL has always had a much more "magical" feeling to me and will always be my favorite Disney park! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Well Greg, You put a great big smile on my face this morning. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I'm soooo delighted that you enjoyed your first trip to Disneyland. It really is special and I'm glad that others (especially those that have gone to WDW first) think it is special also. I hope you enjoy your next trip even more. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif KarenT
You forgot the by far biggest difference: How much nicer it is to walk around in a temperate climate. We were in WDW 8/23 through 8/26, then in Disneyland 9/8 through 9/10. The most incredible difference is how daunting the Orlando heat and humidity is. It was so much nicer to be back in Southern California in the early fall -- a brisk morning and moderate day. That 2-3:00 p.m. stretch in WDW is enough to kill you.
You hit the nail on the head. I used to live in CA and have been to DL a million times. Even spent my honeymoon there. I now live in CT and took my first ever trip to WDW a few weeks ago. WDW was good and I enjoyed several parts of it, but I didn't think MK even compared to DL. DL is so much more thought out. "It's a Small World" is a good example. The exterior at DL is very cool, whereas at MK it was just a building with a sign on it. I felt the same way about a lot of the other rides at MK. Epcot, MGM and AK were different stories, I thought they were all pretty cool. I was just let down by MK. We only ended up spending a day and an e-night there and spent the rest of the week in the other parks. Can't wait to visit DL the week before Thanksgiving. We'll be out for my sister's wedding and are very excited to go. Rob
Sounds like a great first trip to DL. I too find my self comparing the two parks. Thanks for posting!

Bump. I swear this is also happening with me too, because my pings are usually under 125ms, but i occasionally get pings of 10000+ Yes, ten thousand!
Just wanted to say that this has started happening to me too. I don't believe this is on my end because my ping is fine in other online games. It is ONLY LoL. I normally get 100 ping but lately it has been spiking anywhere from 200-1000. And again, I am completely fine in other online games.

TWC tells me anything past the 8th Hop for me is that its not their problem. So Riot, are your servers still in 2006?

getting ping spikes on hop 7+ to alter.net as well, verizon fios @ MD
My highest on Tracert is 390, riot says its 9000+. Riot, what do you say about that? (the other two are 80/91)
Same problem. I've tested it with multiple other online games with no lag problems at all. Only LoL pings me anywhare from my normal 80 to 2000~ that's just silly. 'Cmon...
Ditto this.. noticed the problem this weekend. I've re-installed the game, did a repair, and went through my router settings. I can play, but get random lag(?) with a reported low ingame ping. action freezes, then resumes after a second or more. Bummer. no visible increase in ingame ping (usually around 30ms), and fps is always 50+
My ping used to be about 60-80 rather consistently. Now it is consistently 200+

Thanks! Haha, though not intentional, the irony of rocking the Graham avatar in my last post is pretty awesome.

NICE! Loving the shirts and the pants
Hello all venerable sirs. It is with utmost deference to many a gentleman in this forum thread whom epitomize paramount sartorial elegance and honorable haberdashery, that I trepidly attempt a competent thrift outfit. I beseech for edification your criticisms and critiques, constructive or insolent.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
From over here, the sleeves are too short. The pants are a bit long. I personally prefer one inch break. Shirt pattern and SC pattern is too similar. I wouldn't do checks on checks. I would do...Uhhh...IDK, stripes, dots, or solids...You can't go wrong solids.
Need to google closest Orvis Outlet Store.
To that I'll add that the sport coat looks, to me, to be just a bit big (everywhere but the sleeves). Together with the break in your pants it makes it look a bit like you're wearing a taller person's clothes. Maybe hem to slight or no break? It might mesh a bit better with the dandyish look of the fit as well.
45 min How did I NOT know about this.
Thanks! Awhhhhh none in CA!

A Kangaroo is a marsupial mammal. It is a macropod which means "big foot". A male kangaroo is called a boomer. A female kangaroo is called a flyer. A baby kangaroo is called a joey.
The Kangaroo moves by hopping on its powerful hind legs. It uses its thick long tail to balance its body while hopping. A kangaroo can hop at up to 60kmh (40mph). It can also leap over obstacles up to 3m (10ft) high. Because of the unusual shape of its legs and its bulky tail a kangaroo can't walk or move backwards very easily. I captured this Kangaroo jumping about 1.5 metres as compared to the picket fence.
The kangaroo usually rests in the shade during the day and comes out to eat in the late afternoon and night when it's much cooler. It eats mostly grass. It needs very little water to survive. It can survive without drinking for months.
There are over 40 different types (species) of Kangaroo. The smaller ones are usually called Wallabies. The largest is the Red Kangaroo.
NB: An early pioneer Englishman asked an aboriginal how it got its name, the Aboriginal, not knowing the English language replied, "Kangaroo" which in Aboriginal language meant "I don't know what you're saying!"

Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
It should be read by clinical practitioners of all stripes.
Ships from: Sioux Falls, SD
Usually ships in 1-2 business days
Patient suicide is an unavoidable occupational hazard of psychiatric practice. Indeed, it is the rare clinician who does not struggle, even agonize, over the complex task of assessing and managing the risk of suicide in patients. Patient suicides account for the greatest number of malpractice suits filed against psychiatrists and for the greatest number of settlements and verdicts covered by professional liability insurers.
In this book, written by a clinician for clinicians, Dr. Simon, an established expert in psychiatry and law, offers • A solid, easy-to-understand review of how medical malpractice law applies to patient suicides. He discusses the standards of care physicians must meet, the conditions associated with malpractice liability, and how best to minimize risks of litigation. • Extensive references to peer-reviewed literature on suicide and recent malpractice cases, including those triggered by patient suicides, which give insight into the latest developments in both the scientific community and the courts. • Much-needed practical advice, including advice on working with suicide risk assessments and suicide prevention contracts, on treating suicidal patients in various settings (outpatient, inpatient, collaborative, and emergency), and on coping with issues arising in the aftermath of a patient's suicide (documentation, confidentiality, and survivor care). • Clearly defined risk management guidelines that will help clinicians avoid litigation or establish a sound legal defense if sued for malpractice. • Numerous case examples that make the theoretical discussions and clinically based risk management guidelines that follow come alive.
Rich in advice that draws on the author's more than 40 years of clinical experience, this book serves as an essential aid to clinicians.
American Psychiatric Publishing
It should be read by clinical practitioners of all stripes.
The book describes in fluid text and detailed terms the intricacies of malpractice litigation, suicide assessment and management, and suicide aftermath.

Additionally, at the end of each chapter the preceding text is summarized in useful bullet points to reinforce central messages. Comprehensive reference lists are also included.
Foreword. Preface. Suicide and malpractice litigation. Suicide risk assessment. Suicide prevention contracts. Outpatients. Collaborative treatment. Inpatients. Emergency psychiatric services.

Performance Hall Will Allow Texting, Tweeting
Officials overseeing a new performance hall had to decide on a mobile phone policy. While theaters generally remind patrons to turn off their devices, The New York Times reports the new theater in Bellevue, Wash., will encourage smartphone use. The theater wants to attract younger audiences, and that means there's no use forbidding the technology.

And now for our last word in business: resistance is futile. Officials overseeing a new performance hall being built near Seattle had to decide on a mobile phone policy. While theaters generally remind patrons to turn off their devices, and some even threaten to kick out people, the New York Times reports that this new theater in Bellevue, Washington will encourage smartphone use; make it easy, in fact, with a special antennae that boosts the cell signal. While they're asked not to disrupt the show, patrons will be allowed to tweak and peck. The theater's executive director says he wants to attract younger audiences, and that means there's no use forbidding the technology.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.

Funders Together to End Homelessness is the only national network for grantmakers working to end homelessness. Originally created in 2004 as the Partnership to End Long-Term Homelessness, Funders Together was re-launched as an independent 501(c)(3) organization in 2010.
Our mission: harness philanthropy's expanding potential for impact and change to help end homelessness in America.
We promote a catalytic approach to philanthropy that goes beyond effective grant-making to active civic engagement in solving homelessness.
We believe that we can end homelessness in the United States, and philanthropy will play a critical role in this effort.
But first, we must come together to share what works, learn from each other, and challenge each other to develop innovative, long-lasting solutions. To end homelessness, we must rethink systems that merely manage the issue or tolerate it as an "intractable" social problem. We must increase coordination across government departments and agencies, and initiate strategic partnerships among funders, policymakers, business leaders, advocates, and service providers.
As the only national network of grantmakers working to end homelessness, Funders Together provides a unique forum for our members to
- Create partnerships at the local, regional, and national levels;
- Access tools and resources to improve their strategic grantmaking, convening, and advocacy;
- Advocate for a systems approach and long-term solutions that prevent and end homelessness; and
- Educate the broader philanthropic community about effective collaboration.
Because homelessness has no single cause or solution, our members are engaged in various kinds of grantmaking. Some are specifically focused on homelessness. Others work to improve related areas like health care, education, workforce development, child welfare, domestic violence, and food security. Our members include representatives from all types of foundations — independent, family, corporate, operating, and public charities — as well as individual donors, corporate giving programs, and United Ways.
Funders Together to End Homelessness is not a grantmaking institution. If you are a grantseeker, please click here.
Please note, Funders Together does not have the capacity to directly aid or refer people who are in immediate need of assistance. However, we do know of some places that may be more helpful in this regard. Immediate sources of aid in your community can be found by consulting your local department of social services or your local branch of the United Way. You may also find it helpful to consult this directory of homeless service providers.

How will your community ...
- change to meet the needs of current residents as they age, and
- attract new boomers to move to your community?
Create Aging Friendly Communities
The average retirement age nationally is now 62 with a life expectancy of 78 years. Of the 99 Iowa counties, 88 are projected to have at least 20% of their population aged 65 and over by 2030, totaling 663,186 persons in our state.
The growing number of adults reaching traditional retirement age and beyond presents new challenges and opportunities for communities within Iowa as well as the state as a whole.
As baby boomers turn 60, many ask "now what"? Retirees want fulfilling, challenging, and productive lives which reflect the six domains of whole person wellness. Challenges to health and well-being are significant across these six domains:
- physical
- emotional
- spiritual
- social
- intellectual
- occupational
- financial well-being
The Mid Life & Beyond Program focuses on both aging individuals and the communities in which we live. As the program work moves forward, the focus will shine more directly on how communities can position themselves for the future.

If You Own a Mac, Expect to be Spammed by Companies Who Claim to Fix Viruses
I've just started to receive "virus protection" emails from less than legitimate companies that never could sell their business to PC users in the past. I guess they figure that Mac people are stupid because they've never had to use virus protection in the past. So, they're spamming the crap out of us, convinced that we're all morons who have never seen the inside of a computer before.
I kind of knew this was going to happen, but I really wish companies like this wouldn't prey on people all of the time. Yes, I own a Mac. But I'm also a pc technician who doesn't need a SINGLE FREAKING BIT OF ASSISTANCE FROM STUPID COMPANIES THAT CAN'T SELL THEIR PRODUCTS TO PC PEOPLE SO THEY THINK THEY'VE FOUND A NEW MARKET.
Here's the moral of the story: Mac people have had it good because virus makers made their crap for PCs BECAUSE more people were using PCs than Macs. Now, the number of people using Macs has increased (not because they're better than PCs but) because there are more people using computers today than there were 20 years ago. That's really the only difference.
What this means is that people who make Macs will have to be a little more diligent in solutions. If not, people will stop buying Macs. It's simple as that. Software solutions in the name of stupid companies that made crappy products for PCs aren't going to somehow make a mint on "stupid" Mac users. They're going to lose money in that market, too.
Just saying.

Election experts and Democratic voting advocates told U.S. senators Friday that a Republican-backed overhaul of Florida election laws will suppress Democratic turnout in the nation's biggest battleground state next fall.
« A confident Mitt Romney energizes Hispanic Leadership Network crowd | Main | Puerto Rico Gov. Luis G. Fortuño endorses Mitt Romney »
In Tampa, strong criticism of Florida voting laws
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
What so many fail to consider is how honest voters are defrauded by those who do not obey the law, causing elections to be altered by their actions. It has occurred in too many states not to be addressed. So each citizen has a right to vote and if they what to exercise that right they should make the effort to make sure they are registered and then vote. If people can find a way to apply for any government assistance, they can find a way to register.
Well there are only 9 months left until the general election. All of the poor minorities and elderly better get busy and register to vote and have an ID. Other countries like Syria do not have early voting. Be proud to be an American and quit crying and be thankful you have the right to vote and use it.
Steve, documented cases of voter fraud are so rare as to be negligible. This is so obviously an attempt to restrict likely Democratic leaning voters that it fully deserves to be exposed for what it is: a cynical, racially focussed, heinous attempt to steal yet another election.
And Steve we know what you're really thinking because of your assumption that those who will be affected are on government assistance. Thanks for wearing your cyncism on the outside.
