Health and well-being require emotional, social, spiritual resources as well as physical capabilities. Humans have or are "healing systems" which come into positive effect only when they are seen in the context of the larger systems around them. Health and well-being must be viewed within the context of self, others, nature and God. Forming Partnerships Understanding the role of faith and spirituality in forming a healthy community, the Bon Secours Health System has created partnerships with professional nurses, health ministers and faith communities to form Faith Community Health Ministries. Ministry partners extend the healing ministry of faith community nursing through promotion of whole-person health often acting as health educators, personal health counselors, referral agents, support group leaders, health advocates, volunteer coordinators, and advocates for social justice. Understanding and Caring for One Another As servant leaders there is a commitment to form a caring relationship and be a listening presence. The ministry partners work to strengthen the capacities of individuals and families to understand and care for one another in light of their relationship with God.

I would contact the Ericson's owner association, as it is unlikely that anyone else is going to have a trailer that will work for a sailboat. You may find someone who has an Ericson 25 nearby that also has a trailer.
Sailboat trailers are usually quite specific to each model, and not generally all that interchangeable, due to constraints like hull shape, draft, keel location, etc.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

UCC) or (2) Health Industry Business Communications Council (HIBCC). The NDC drug code must be incorporated into the bar code as it will serve as the unique product identifier. The different codes serve different purposes. The EAN/UCC standard was originally developed by the medical device industry, which uses Universal Product Numbers to meet the needs of retailers (HIBCC, 2001). Because no other standard was available at the time, drug manufacturers adopted the standard and integrated the NDC codes. However, many stakeholders consider the EAN/UCC standard to be inadequate for the specific applications and needs of the health care environment, especially those associated with patient safety (HIBCC, 2001). The HIBCC standard was designed to allow for more extensive and precise encoding and quicker tracking and tracing of specific drug products.
While narrowing choices down to two standards represents improvement, stakeholders believe that other aspects of the FDA rule need revision. In particular, the rule states that bar code symbology will be limited to a linear model that constrains the ability to encode a significant amount of information. This capability will be needed as health information technologies and clinical information systems advance. Therefore, these stakeholders are seeking to have the rule revised to allow for the use of three-dimensional models as well.
In addition, there are sizable cost implications when a hospital implements a bar code medication administration system. Thus, software programs will be required to be compatible with both the EAN/UCC and HIBCC standards, to accommodate various dimensional encoding models, and to be easily upgraded to meet demands for the encoding of additional

PDFKit Overview & Advanced Usage
Last week I had the pleasure of rewriting 4 years of legacy PDF::Writer code to PDFKit. Why? Well drawing pdfs in ruby using libraries like PDF::Writer is like composing a webpage with an Etch A Sketch. In short, its a damn chore that involves a bunch of code that mixes both data and presentation. Sure there are gems like Prawn that make this much easier, but nothing beats drawing your pdf code in native HTML and CSS, and that is where wkhtmltopdf comes in.
Wkhtmltopdf is an open source project that uses the WebKit rendering engine to convert HTML to native PDF code. This is the muscle behind the PDFKit gem and other projects like WickedPdf. In this article I am only going to focus on PDFKit with Rails. But many topics will apply to both PDFKit and WickedPdf since they use wkhtmltopdf on the backside.
Installing the PDFKit gem is a no brainer. The hard part is getting the wkhtmltopdf binaries for you platform installed. Thankfully the google project page hosts a batch of static binaries that work on just about every platform. So go to their download page and pick the statically compiled binary that meets your needs. I highly suggest that you get the latest 0.10.0rc2 since some topics below take advantage of recent bug fixes. I have tested both the OSX and i386 on RHEL with success and the release candidate seems very production ready. I suggest placing wkhtmltopdf in /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
$ which wkhtmltopdf
The Basic Requirements
I knew that HTML to PDF generation has its drawbacks, specifically with common headers/footers and page breaks. I happily found out that wkhtmltopdf has a solution for all these problems and can layout PDF pages with pixel perfect precision. So let's skip over the basics and get right down to using PDFKit like a pro. We are going to build out the Rails HTML/CSS layouts and templates that will solve a series of common problems.
The major reason to use PDFKit and wkhtmltopdf is that we can use the same templating system in Rails that we use to generate other views. This means that we test our PDF view code just like any other Rails code using its built-in functional or integration test cases. Let me say that again, we can TEST our PDF code! A huge win if you have complex conditional view code. So let's get to it.
The Main PDF Layout
Sometimes it is useful to start at the end. So the first thing we need is a new layout for all of our pdf templates to use. Here is a HAML file that I recommend you name app/views/layouts/pdf.html.pdf.haml
. Did you see that name? This is important! because Rails allows us to specify template names that can service more than one mime type format. So in this case, the layout will be found when rendering both HTML and .pdf formats.
!!! 5
%html{:lang => 'en'}
%meta{:charset => 'utf-8'}
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-footer_html', :content => pdf_footer_url}
= stylesheet_link_tag "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}/stylesheets/pdf.css"
= yield(:layout)
I recommend that all PDF layouts, templates, and partials use the dual mime type naming convention. This will allow you to test your rendered HTML to PDF view code using common DOM techniques. Like assert_select
in rails or maybe capybara's has_selector?
. So given that you may have a print action for your orders controller, you would use print_orders_path(@order)
for your functional tests with DOM assertions and print_orders_path(@order,:format=>:pdf)
for real world usage and/or integration tests. Both formats will render the same partials, templates and layouts if you use that naming structure.
So that layout file is a real basic HTML5 doctype (which WebKit handles just fine) plus a few special elements. I'll cover that pdfkit-footer_html
meta tag later on. For now, let's focus on that pdf.css
Your PDF CSS
You might be tempted to utilize your existing site's stylesheets for a base and then use media/print techniques to override and customize your printed versions. I am of the opinion that your PDF stylesheets should be very basic and easy to layout. To this end, I highly suggest that you start with an HTML reset CSS. In the example below, I have used Yahoo's CSS reset. This makes it so that every bit of layout is under your strict control with a common rendering of no margin or padding to throw you off.
/* Reset CSS. http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.2.0/build/cssreset/reset-min.css */
/* Your Base Foundation */
html,body { font-family: sans-serif; font-size:12px; }
h1 { font-size:18px; }
h2 { font-size:16px; }
h3 { font-size:14px; }
h4 { font-size:12px; }
strong { font-weight:900 !important; }
hr { border:0; margin:0; padding:0; height:1px; color:#000; background-color:#000; }
/* Page Breaks */
.pb_before { page-break-before:always !important; }
.pb_after { page-break-after:always !important; }
.pbi_avoid { page-break-inside:avoid !important; }
The second section of the CSS above is the place where you can put in a few custom styles that fit your needs. In my example I set a series of header font sizes, a base sans-serif font face and an hr tag that can be used as a simple rule. Feel free to add others here like basic styles for data tables, etc. The last section of the CSS file above are page break helpers. The latest version of wkhtmltopdf never breaks text in the middle of the line anymore. So most of the time the default page break behavior will work fine. But for those situations where you need more control, these 3 CSS declarations will serve most of your needs. Let's take a look at a few examples of their usage. Full details on CSS paged media can be found on the W3C's site.
Use the
PDFKit and specifically wkhtmltopdf handles common page headers and footers just wonderfully, though it did take me some time to figure it out. I'll try to spare you the same pain by detailing the process for a custom footer on each page. In this example we will expect that our custom footer will be approximately .2 inches tall with a current page number next to a total page count.
Remember that
So what is going on here? Two things really. The first is a way for PDFKit to customize the command arguments passed down to wkhtmltopdf when the page is converted. PDFKit will take any meta tag with a name prefixed using "pdfkit-" and pass down the content attribute as the value to the suffix of the name attribute. In this case
When it comes to headers and footers, wkhtmltopdf takes the URL to an HTML page, renders it to native PDF code and embeds it automatically for you below or above your page margin. You can control the placement of these in one of two ways. The first is by adjusting the layout of the header/footer HTML page. The second is by adjusting the margin of the parent document. In my case, since I knew my footer was around .2 inches tall, I gave it's template an internal top margin of 10 pixels and told PDFKit to increase my global .5 inch page margins by .2 inches for the bottom margin using a rails initializer.
So now I know that whatever content I render in my
There is not much here past rendering a basic template file with no layout. All the rest is to achieve an important set of caching rules. Ideally the URL argument to
With that out of the way, what about the content of the footer HTML page? Again, here is a HAML template I used. This is very much like my pdf layout with one important difference, some JavaScript that is used to parse the query parameters that wkhtmltopdf tacks onto each header/footer URL request. In the example below I am only using the current page
Hopefully this helps anyone looking to use PDFKit or any system that leverages the wkhtmltopdf project. If I missed anything or can help, please leave me a comment. Thanks!
class on any block level element that you want to make sure is never broken across multiple pages. A great usage would be on each element of an orders line items. It can also be used on any large page element that will certainly fit on one page, but should never be broken up. This is perfect in places where you might have measured the remaining page space before drawing said element. The .pb_before
class will always break to a new page. I found this very useful when printing composite PDF files that combined multiple other PDF actions. So here is another HAML template that renders 3 other PDF full page partials. Each partial can be 1 to many pages. By enclosing each in a %div.pb_before
= render :partial => 'pdf/orders/print'
= render :partial => 'pdf/orders/invoice'
= render :partial => 'pdf/orders/picklist'
Custom Headers/Footers
meta tag in the pdf layout above? If not, here it is again.
%meta{:name => 'pdfkit-footer_html', :content => pdf_footer_url}
--foter-html http://myapp.com/pdf/footer
will be used as a command argument to wkhtmltopdf when rendering templates using that layout file. Note, it is important to use fully qualified URLs for header and footer arguments.
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.default_options = {
:page_size => 'Letter',
:margin_top => '0.5in',
:margin_right => '0.5in',
:margin_bottom => '0.7in',
:margin_left => '0.5in'
page will fit just nicely on the bottom of each page. But how to generate that content and the custom page numbers? First, let's make a single pdf resource in our rails route file with a collection action for #footer. Now here is a controller for that resource with a single footer action.
class PdfController < ApplicationController
def self.perform_caching ; true ; end
caches_page :footer
def footer
render :layout => false
def perform_caching
would be a static HTML file. However, if want to use Rails templating to render that file, it is important to cache the results. The parent document will request this URL for each page it renders, so you can see how one process could deadlock another if your were not careful. In my example above, I override ActionController's perform_caching class and instance methods so that all actions in this controller would cache. I recommend committing a cached footer html page to any source control you have for deployment.
and total page count topage
params and inserting those values into to elements. For a full list of all the query parameters, consult the wkhtmltopdf expanded help page.
!!! 5
%html{:lang => 'en'}

Passionately kissing on the sofa, these two soon start ripping the clothes off one another in a desperate frenzy to reach the smooth, sensual skin beneath. and as the two move off the sofa and onto the coffee table top the scene really starts to hot up! With Brandi's gorgeous pert breasts already exposed Satine continues to strip away at the remaining items. From this point onwards the scene becomes one of intense sexual energy and a feast of raunchy girl on girl action at is best!

Saturated Fats
Article I have:
Saturated Fats Are Healthy To Eat Finally, more evidence that points to what we already knew... Dietary intakes of saturated fats are not linked to cardiovascular disease, so says a meta-analysis from across the world. The conclusion that dietary intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increase in coronary heart disease or cardiovascular disease was reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this past February, 2010. This study accumulated data from almost 350,000 subjects in twenty-one different studies. The data from these study subjects showed the development of approximately 11,000 cases of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or stroke. However, there was no link established between the subject's saturated fat intake and the incidence of CHD, stroke, or Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), and this did not change when the researchers focused their research to consider age or sex, or the quality of the study. "Our meta-analysis showed that there is insufficient evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies to conclude that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD," wrote the researchers, led by Dr Ronald Krauss from the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute in California. "[However,] nutritional epidemiologic studies provide only one category of evidence for evaluating the relation of saturated fat intake to risk for CHD, stroke, and CVD. An overall assessment requires consideration of results of clinical trials as well as information regarding the effects of saturated fat on underlying disease mechanisms, as discussed elsewhere in this issue. Nonetheless, a summary evaluation of the epidemiologic evidence to date provides important information as to the basis for relating dietary saturated fat to CVD risk," the researchers said. The study, funded by the US National Dairy Council, Unilever, and the National Institutes of Health, challenges the mainstream majority thinking that saturated fats are detrimental to heart health. The old "lipid hypothesis" tried to show a direct relationship between the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet and the incidence of coronary heart disease. This lipid hypothesis for heart disease received a huge amount of publicity and public favor, in spite of the fact that other studies showed this hypothesis to not be true many years ago. In the last 50 years, big food processing companies jumped on the bandwagon and pushed the lipid hypothesis even further into the mainstream. Oddly enough though, prior to the 1920's, coronary heart disease was very rare in America. Americans ate lots of lard, butter, beef and cheese, but heart attacks and strokes were uncommon. While vegetable oils and hydrogenated fats were pushed as the "healthy choice" over saturated fats for the next forty years, the incidence of coronary heart disease actually increased dramatically, so much so that today, heart disease remains a primary cause of death in the U.S. With the advent of the revised food pyramid, grains and carbohydrates pushed those numbers up even higher. If heart disease had any connection to saturated fats in the diet, how could it be that the use of saturated fats has gone down, while the use of processed vegetable oils like margarine, shortening, and trans fats-as well as sugar and grain-based processed foods have increased dramatically? Clearly something has been amiss here. Oils like canola, corn, soybean, and sunflower have been pushed as the healthy substitutes over saturated fats. It is these oils, though, that contribute to inflammation in the body, and upset the ratio of Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6 fatty acids. Diets high in vegetable oils -especially hydrogenated vegetable oils, cause a variety of health problems, including inflammation. This inflammation leads to an increased tendency to form blood clots, which leads to heart attacks and strokes, now at higher than ever levels in the U.S. Most of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat comes in the form of triglycerides, which are made of three fatty-acid chains attached to a glycerol molecule. Elevated triglycerides in the blood are usually linked to a higher than average potential for heart disease, but triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats. Triglycerides are made in the liver from sugars that have not been burned for energy. Excess sugars in the body are from starchy carbohydrates, particularly refined sugar and white flour. It appears that triglycerides and vegetable oils and excessive Omega 6 fatty acids are causing much of the problem. So you see, saturated fats are not the villains they have been portrayed to be, nor are they the cause of today's diseases; in fact quite the opposite is true. Saturated fats play an important role in the body in several ways: Saturated fatty acids make up at least 50% of the cell membranes. They give cell walls their necessary stiffness and integrity. Saturated fats are extremely important for bone health. For calcium to be effectively utilized in our bones at least 50% of dietary fats should be saturated--so skim milk will not help your bones. Saturated fats are vital to the liver and help protect it from toxins such as alcohol and other drugs. Saturated fats strengthen the immune system. They are needed for the proper utilization of other essential fatty acids - Omega 3 fatty acids are better retained in the tissues and utilized by the body when the diet is rich in saturated fats as well. The fat around the heart muscle is actually highly saturated. The heart draws on this reserve of fat in times of physical stress. Saturated fats lower a substance in the blood called Lp(a), or Lipoprotein(a), that indicates a tendency towards heart disease. Short- and medium-chain saturated fatty acids have important antimicrobial properties. They protect us against harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract. The scientific evidence is beginning to pile up and does not (and never did) support the assertion that saturated fats clog arteries and cause heart disease. So while saturated fats have not yet been exonerated in the mainstream public, the tide is beginning to turn. You as an educated consumer, and your own health advocate know the truth about saturated fats vs. the evils of vegetable oils and refined foods. Enjoy your grass fed steaks, butter, cheese and lard and know you are doing your body good. References: Mary G. Enig, PhD, and Sally Fallon, "The Skinny on Fats", Weston A. Price Foundation, Jan, 1999. Stephen Daniells, "Saturated Fats Not Linked to Heart Disease: Meta Analysis", Food Navigator.com, February 2010. P.W. Siri-Tarino, Q. Sun, F.B. Hu, R.M.

I will never stop eating beef. It tastes too good, and can be prepared so many ways. As others have said, just get at least lean cut or xtra lean even. I usually get 91-93% lean sirloin tips or ground beef. For a solid steak, I couldn't care less about the fat content. I actually want a good % of fat, but marbled in a good way...not just hanging over the edge of a cut.
I couldn't imagine Summer without steak and beer by the fire...

[edit] PES 2010
Dzuba appears in the default Spartak Moscow squad as a reserve player due to his age and below average stats. At 6'4 Dzyuba is a traditional target man style of centre forward, similar to Andy Carroll and Nikola Zigic, which also means his stats are not very impressive and patience is needed for him to develop. He is set to be removed once the transfer update is installed as he plays for a club not in the game.

Effective from 1 October 2011, there is no compulsory retirement age at UCL. Staff may voluntarily retire at a time of their choice, subject to providing appropriate notice. Many staff may continue to retire at their pension age (currently 65 years) because this is when they can access their full pension benefits although they have the choice to work beyond this age. Staff may be able to flexibly retire or retire before 65 years (normally accessing reduced pension benefits) depending on their pension scheme rules.
Staff are encouraged to discuss their retirement plans as early as possible with their manager to aid future planning. Such discussions can take place informally at any stage although they may be conducted more routinely during annual appraisals or reviews when managers and staff jointly plan for the future.
Where staff decide to retire, they should inform their manager and the Pensions Department in writing as far in advance as possible and at least 3 months prior to retirement to enable suitable arrangements to be made with the appropriate pension scheme. Additionally staff with teaching or other responsibilities for students should note that they are required to give notice such that they leave at the end of a term.
Retirement planning and financial education events are available to help staff plan for their future and retirement. Information on pension schemes is available on the Pensions website.
Staff who retire from UCL will be offered membership of the UCL Alumni Association which entitles them to an email address, regular newsletters, and access to the Library, the Language Centre, UCL Collections, and discounts at the Bloomsbury Theatre, Bloomsbury Fitness and the UCL Union.

ARCADIA - A man was discovered dead in a dental office on Friday morning.
Lt. David Smith of the Los Angeles County Department of the Coroner identified the man as a 27-year-old Chino Hills resident. He said the death is being investigated as a suicide.
The man was found by a relative in the rear room of a dental business on North 1st Avenue, according to Smith who confirmed reports the man had a plastic bag over his head.
Smith didn't know if the man worked at the business or was a patient. An autopsy is pending.
Arcadia police released few details about the incident.
Lt. Colleen Flores said police were called at 11:39 a.m. about a male adult found dead at the location.
Because officers are still investigating the death, she said that is all the information the police department is releasing.

Help out a beginner? (self.Meditation)
submitted 2 years ago by md619
I got just started practicing mediation within the last week and so far I've done maybe 3-4 sittings. In the beginning of the sitting, I think start off okay. Conscious thoughts arise, and I try to acknowledge them and then return to my breath without judging too much. It's all very linear and logical.
But after awhile, my thoughts seem to shift to my subconscious, and I feel like I'm no longer in control. Thoughts are random and there's no rhyme or reason why one leads to another, almost like in a dream. I'm barely aware that thoughts are occurring, and it gets harder to return my focus to the breath. I do feel better when I finish, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong at this point. I'm wondering if this is the normal process in meditation? Is there something else I should expect or try to be doing? Thank you.
[–]TheHeartOfTuxes 29 points30 points31 points 2 years ago* (7 children)
What you're describing is normal, and common, but is indeed a wandering away from meditation into dreaminess. So you are right to return to the breath without judging, no matter what it is that takes you away.
You are experiencing a small part of the wondrous, mysterious, elusive, and inscrutable qualities of mind. Some manifestations are sharp and clear, others a bubbling jumble, and others yet a vague tidal blending of dreams... and there are countless other types of manifestations of mind. Your job is to keep your center, no matter what manifestations arise.
Of course, we will lose our center again and again. That is par for the course; it happens because of a lifetime (and longer) of formative causes. We can't just make it all stop once and for all. So we get the chance to practice letting go. "Returning without judging" says it well. Develop the knack of returning with no residue, nothing in the attitude or thinking that sticks to the situation that is already in the past. Only go on to the next thing, the next breath.
You may be able to rouse yourself somewhat into more clarity. These things may bring more energy to a dull meditation: reconnecting with your aspiration to wake up; recalling your love and devotion toward the path or the teacher or your loved ones; and remembering your limited time in life. Balance in your life, and balance between physical practice and motionless sitting, can also contribute to balance in the mind. (Sometimes these things are a matter of freeing the breath and circulation. Walking, bowing, or other exercise might help; eating moderately, and not before sitting, might also help.)
But quite a large portion of the meditator's career involves just continuing through. Just keep going through all difficulty, all strangeness, all boredom, all magnificence. Never get stuck anywhere.
Until one is a meditator, maybe one can't know the warriorship that is embodied, the epic journeys traversed when facing one's own mind. We are not to get lost in dreams; and yet it happens. We aim to get free of the grip of thought; and yet we succumb to it. But this is wonderful: winning or losing doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you get the best of your dullness this time, or whether it gets the best of you. Maybe for a few years this is what you have to face, because of your particular set of past causes. That doesn't matter.
What matters is that you try. It's not that trying gets you somewhere (although it inevitably does). It's that when you try you transform into someone pure. You embody sincerity and perseverance. You become a momentary Bodhisattva, shining in your practice even though surrounded by demons — the sharp, clear demons, the bubbling jumble demons, the vague tidal blending dream demons....
You write that it gets so that you are barely aware that thoughts are occurring. Yes, it leads you into subtle, misty territory sometimes. So there you learn how subtle and how determined you have to be to overcome that hindrance in your mind. And when it gets harder to return, you train your power to return in the face of difficulty. These problems are your life master teaching you how to be an unconditioned person, a person whose awakeness and compassion are not swayed by any outer or inner conditions. It's just that you have to actually travel that territory yourself before you can be called the master of it.
In short, don't depend on anything. Don't depend on things being clear or comfortable or linear and logical. Only try. Only keep returning. Then your returning power becomes stronger and stronger.
I went through a period of 2 or 3 years, where I would become drowsy and start to fall asleep any time I meditated. I continued to sit very regularly, but I also fretted about it, trying to find the cause, trying to find the cure. I looked at diet, lifestyle, psychological issues, physiology, posture... I questioned my determination and worthiness and practice.
Then one day when traveling I met the teacher at a foreign meditation center and had a private interview with him. When he asked if I had any questions, I told him about my problem falling asleep. He leaned in, looked into my eyes with great interest, and said "Oh! What's that like?" Somehow the invitation to look with interest rather than try to correct or arrange my mind sank in, and from that moment the sleeping pattern for the most part went away and was not a problem any more.
So it is valuable to avoid fighting yourself or trying to make a better situation in your mind. Don't try to make more clarity. Only apply yourself to the practice; only be sincere. As in my story, genuine interest or curiosity can be a huge help in this regard.
Of course, we will lose our center again and again. That is par for the course; it happens because of a lifetime (and longer) of formative causes. We can't just make it all stop once and for all.
I don't mean to say that there is no end, ever, to our turmoil. We just can't expect that it will happen without effort or discipline.

Your experience is 100% normal, but...
If you're serious, find a meditation group/teacher and join. Personally, I cannot stress the value of practicing with others when you're a beginner. You'll strengthen your practice so that when you do sit on your own it will be beneficial.
[–]md619[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I will. I go to a large University, so I imagine there's got to be a meditation group somewhere.
[–]spen 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Why do you need to be "in control"? Observation can be the primary "goal", but then, you can also think about who/what is the "I" that was supposed to be in control anyway.
Also, "wrong" implies someone is making a judgement, but you didn't specify who, so that makes it easy to answer: Yes, you are doing it "wrong", according to someone somewhere, or No, your doing it right if you ask someone else. I'm not trying to be gnomic, I'm just saying relax your judgement and enjoy the ride.
[–]blokhead 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I'm not the OP, but he/she has described my current situation rather well.
The OP describes the brain going haywire with a non-stop onslaught of random thoughts at a mile a minute. OK, that's what I call daydreaming or spacing out, and it's what my brain is already really great at. When my brain is doing that, it's doing something I know prevents me from reaching my meditation goals, which are to foster the ability to focus/concentrate. Additionally, the random thoughts become so overwhelming that the part of me that has been tasked with "when you notice your mind drifting, acknowledge the thought and then refocus on the breath" gets totally lost. That is the "I" that loses control. Again, that mental task the whole point of the meditation, as far as I can tell. So I completely understand that the OP sees this as "wrong."
To the OP: I find that the more tired I am or the closer I am to dozing off, the more chaotic/bizarre/uncontrollable my racing mind's thoughts become. You may need to get more sleep at night and/or meditate at a different time of day when you feel fully awake.
I had assumed that meditation was supposed to be more of a conscious experience than a subconscious one, so I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. Clearly I still have a lot to learn. Thanks.

Feel free to let these questions hang. There's nothing wrong with talking them through, but don't get frustrated if your question doesn't feel answered. You're the one who will eventually answer it, and it will bubble up out of nowhere.
Questions will come. Answers will come after. As long as you're sitting properly, your perception will work itself out.
[–]dma88 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
i've been meditating on & off for 3 years or so.. and hypnosis for longer.. I've done that before, put my mind on "subconscious autopilot". some of it may seem random, some of it may seem like it's got a message. it feels different than normal thinking, like there's probably some rewiring going on.
[–]BrassBonanza 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
If you're barely aware that thoughts are occurring that means you ARE aware that thoughts are occurring. This is a big step! Just keep it up! You're not doing it "wrong." Doing it (meditating) is always doing it right. Welcome to the beautiful world of meditation!
[–]LDL2 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
We should be meditation buddies. I just started as well and am at this same point.
[–]turiyamoore 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
You're fading into subconsciousness. That is not the way to go and you have perceived this.
Don't know what you are doing but there is more. Here are a couple of things.

Details of Janes Addiction and the Ticket Luck value
Formed in the year 1985, Jane's Addiction is a rock band from the city of Los Angeles. The band has a history of repeated breakups and reunions. The first breakup of the band occurred in the year 1991. It then reunited in the year 1997 and in 2001, soon dismantling again. The next reunion occurred in the year 2008 and the band has been active ever since. The band consisted of four members originally; Stephen Perkins on drums, Dave Navarro on lead guitars, Perry Farrell the vocalist and Eric Avery playing bass. Eric Avery refused to play with the band when it reunited in the years 1997 and 2001; however, he became part of the lineup during the reunion of 2008, when Jane's Addiction was planning on a world tour. Soon after the completion of the world tour, Eric Avery left the band and the three remaining members, went on to work on new compositions. If you wish to see this legendary band perform on stage, you can get Jane's Addiction tickets as they are up for grabs. Find Jane's Addiction tickets right here with great ease and greater prices, if you are a fan.
The band gained fame and popularity as it was one of the first "alternative rock" bands to emerge in the ninety's allowing it to obtain massive media attention whilst formally introducing the genre into mainstream music. Jane's Addiction was ranked as being the thirty fifth most popular rock band by the VH1 channel in their 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock listing. A major iconic performance by the band was brought in their farewell tour in 1991 that marked the beginning of the Lollapalooza annual festival; an annual musical event that features mainstream hard rock, alternative rock, punk rock and heavy metal music for hard core rock fans. If you wish to view an iconic performance by the pioneers of alternative rock you can find Jane's Addiction tickets on our site, for an upcoming show.
Jane's Addiction was formed when Farrell, the vocalist, embarked on a mission to create a new band after the demolition of his former band; Psi Com, which was a rock band that played goth music around the 1980s. Farrell was in the search for a bass player for a new band that he was aiming to form and he met Eric Avery. Having similar musical interests such as sharing a communal admiration for The Velvet Underground and Joy Division, these two artists bonded and Avery was asked to join the band. Even though he was never a permanent bassist, Avery did record numerous songs with the band. Farrell was able to hire a drummer when his sister asked him to consider her boyfriend at that time, Perkins. Even though Farrell was unsure about this step, he still auditioned him and asked him to come aboard. Soon after Perkins started rehearsals with the duo, he suggested his friend Navarro which led to the official formation of the band. The band went on to become one of the most popular bands of the era and was able to gather a massive fan following. If you are fan you can get a chance to see them play live, if you purchase Jane's Addiction tickets today.
After formation of the band, it started performing at a nightclub in Los Angeles; Scream and soon became popular, performing on a regular basis there. The band was approached by a number of record labels such as Triple X records and Warner Bros. Records. Though Jane's Addiction signed a contract with Warner Bros. records it wanted to release its debut via Triple X records. It released its debut after recording a live performance of the band playing at Roxy Theatre in the year 1987. In the next year, Jane's Addiction released its first ever studio album under the record name Warner Bros. named "Nothing's Shocking". The next album was released in the year 1990 called "Ritual de lo Habitual", which gained massive popularity and the band went on a tour to support and popularize the album, which was then followed by episode of fights and eventually a breakup.

I have no idea how or under what circumstances the phrase git 'r' done from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour could semantically apply to any but a couple of questionable situations. But I can say with some certainty, if you haven't heard it yet, you can't possibly be American.
The "r" does not refer to "her" at all, but rather "it," or "the job." I'm not going to inquire further into the roots of the expression, because I don't think I want to know. I will say, in the country, you have got to make hay when the sun shines, another expression I didn't quite understand, until I moved to the country.
I always thought to make hay when the sun shines meant you should have fun when it's sunny;  make hay, as in make HEY! Party it up while you can! Did you know it means exactly the opposite?  If you don't "make" the hay, that is roll it up, while the sun is shining, you will not have hay at all, because it will mold and then be useless. This means I am actually supposed to work when it's sunny, literally and figuratively. Work hard when times are good to prepare for when times are bad? Oops, not the way I've been living at all!
I have said before, for me, motivation is more like a mood. I work extremely hard, when I feel like it. For those who really do git-r-done consistently, motivation is a discipline. I'm not sure exactly how to make that transition in my own life, but luckily I at least have handy hubby and others to set a good example.
As El Nino has promised, we have an early, cold, very wet fall. Back in July, handy hubby started preparing for the installation of our wood stove, without which we would have had no heat this winter, because the old propane unit that used to be in our little home emitted a smell so noxious that it instantly turned my stomach, so it was the first item to be hauled to the dump when we moved in back in March. Ordering the parts in July, handy hubby planned to start installing the stove in August, knowing he would have to space out the work to a few hours each morning, which was the only time it was possible to work in the attic considering the 100 degree Texas sun was beaming down on it everyday, all day long. I asked him why he was doing all this so early in the year, because if he just waited till fall, the temperature in the attic would be quite pleasant.
But, of course, I knew very well why:Â Handy hubby prepares, while I on the other hand am the frivolous squirrel still juggling my nuts with thoughts of winter still a world away.
As could be predicted, parts of the stove were on back order for some weeks. Handy hubby was growing anxious by mid-August, while I was still saying, "Winter? You've got to be kidding, it's still 90 degrees everyday!"  Don't worry, be happy now.
The parts finally all in, he worked non-stop and with some haste, as if at any moment we would go from 90 degrees, to 50 degrees, when I would surely come close to freezing, leaving him to feel like a retched failure.  Stove installed, he cuts two walls of wood that could surely last through an Alaskan winter, and when that is all completed, the very next week the temperature drops. He promptly employs that opportunity to teach me the best fool-proof, fire-making method. Then, as soon as he sits down to finally enjoy the fruits of his labor, he starts to cough. He's caught the flu.
Poor dear, but at least now he can suffer in front of the warm glowing fire knowing not only did he make hay while the sun shone, but he really knows how to git 'r' done.

Boone Logan passes important test, throws to hitters… And Friday lineups
Posted By Troy E. Renck On March 14, 2014 @ 1:21 pm In Cactus League Games,General Rockies,Injuries,National League,National League West,Rockies on Deck | No Comments
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — Boone Logan stepped on the mound around 10 a.m. for a test that would go a long way in determining whether he makes the opening day roster. Facing hitters for the first time this spring following the removal of elbow bone chips, Logan threw 20 pitches without any issues on Field 2.
He used his fastball and slider, and other than dealing with some slipping issues on the mound, walked off fairly pleased with his progress.
His performance indicated he wasn't making his way toward Miami, where the Rockies begin the 2014 season on March 31. Logan is hoping to pitch in four-to-five spring games in preparation for his critical setup role in the bullpen.
"Without any setbacks, I will be ready," Logan said on Thursday.
He's expected to face hitters at least one more time before his first game appearance. Logan has "multiple elbow chips and a bone spur the size of a marble" removed a week after his final season with the Yankees.
"I was in pain last season but I knew I could pitch threw it. I would wake up at night and it was miserable," Logan said. "I couldn't even turn my wrist without it hurting in my elbow. … It's 1,000 percent better now."
Rockies at Giants, 2:10 p.m.
Rockies: CF Drew Stubbs, 2B Josh Rutledge, 3B Nolan Arenado, LF Carlos Gonzalez, RF Matt McBride, C Michael McKenry, 1B Ben Paulsen, SS Paul Janish, LHP Christian Friedrch.

This February 13, 1900, letter from George W. Holley to George Sheldon complains about the fact that the trolley is certain to come through the village street of Deerfield, since "the whole business element is on that side." Mr. Holley does not live in Deerfield and, although he likes Mr. Sheldon, argues that it is a matter for the townspeople to fight out among themselves. Public opinion against the Railroad Corporation is a good thing in Mr. Holley's view, "for it will show the R.R. Corporation they cannot ride rough shod over us."

text: WALDORF WATCH Welcome. This website deals with ◊ Waldorf schools, also known as Steiner schools; ◊ Rudolf Steiner, the professed clairvoyant who established the first of these schools; and ◊ Anthroposophy, the religion promoted by the schools. There are approximately 1,000 Waldorf schools in the world today. Proponents of Waldorf education boast that theirs is the fastest growing independent-school movement in the world. Many thousands of children attend Waldorf schools — where they are often subjected to covert religious indoctrination. The underlying purpose of Waldorf schools is to spread the religion created by Rudolf Steiner: Anthroposophy. [See the entry for "Anthroposophy" in The Brief Waldorf / Steiner Encyclopedia.] Despite the religious nature of Waldorf education, efforts are increasing — in the United States and elsewhere — to secure taxpayer support for Waldorf schools. Humanity faces bigger problems than the proliferation of Waldorf schools and the spread of Rudolf Steiner's mystical doctrines. Nonetheless, the Waldorf movement should trouble anyone who prizes rationality and abhors the clandestine indoctrination of children. My name is Roger Rawlings. I attended a Waldorf school from second grade through high school. My mother was secretary to the headmaster at that school. Because I was in the school for so long, and because I occasionally questioned the headmaster, I gained some insights into the Waldorf movement's secret agenda. More to the point, in recent years I have conducted an extensive study of Anthroposophy and Waldorf education. This website is the result. There is nothing for sale at this site; there are no advertisements; I do not solicit anyone's financial support. I am not looking for money or applause. My purpose is simple: It is to tell you the truth about Waldorf schools. Many Waldorf schools proudly display the quotation that you see at the top of this page, implying that it summarizes their educational approach. The quotation certainly sounds good. Undoubtedly many Waldorf teachers and administrators take such statements seriously. But what does the quotation really mean, in the context of Waldorf education? Explaining fully will take some time — in a sense, the rest of this website is devoted to providing a highly detailed explanation. But for now, for starters, here is a glimpse: The belief system underlying Waldorf schools is an occult religion that involves doctrines of evolution and reincarnation. Human beings evolve upward as they gain "knowledge of higher worlds" — that is, knowledge of the spiritual worlds above the ordinary plane of existence. To gain this knowledge firsthand, people must develop clairvoyance. Preparation for clairvoyance involves such things as heightened imagination and dream consciousness. Waldorf schools aim to assist children on the path toward knowledge of the higher worlds. To this end, Waldorf teachers serve as missionaries or priests.* However, they generally do so secretively, believing that they possess "mystery wisdom" that other people cannot appreciate. According to Steiner, outsiders who should be told as little as possible include the parents of Waldorf students. Anthroposophical doctrine teaches that humans are born and reborn on Earth many times as they reincarnate. Moreover, each person is "born" multiple times during each earthly life, as her/his various invisible bodies emerge (the etheric body, the astral body, the ego body...). Waldorf teachers try to help their students incarnate properly, so that the children may fulfill their karmas and evolve to higher levels of spiritual attainment. Humans who evolve "normally" will stay abreast of the entire solar system as it evolves and reincarnates in ever loftier forms (Future Jupiter, Future Venus, Future Vulcan...).** Returning to the quotation, above: There is only one correct "purpose and direction" in life: It is the spiritual evolutionary path laid out by Steiner. Individuals are encouraged to move upward on this path as "free human beings." According to Steiner, freedom is the birthright of all real human beings (things are different for "abnormal" people who are not really human). According to Steiner, true freedom means willingly submitting to the intentions of the many good gods who stand over mankind. Of course, we also need to resist the evil gods. In practice, becoming truly "free" means giving up your liberty and accepting Steiner's religious teachings.*** That's it, in brief. I know it sounds bizarre, but that's what Waldorf schools are all about: promoting the religion of Anthroposophy. As for the strange reference to people who aren't really human, you should know that for every Steiner quotation that sounds attractive, there are others that are the reverse. Here's one: Telling Waldorf teachers to conceal his doctrines from outsiders, Steiner said, "Imagine what people would say if they heard that we say there are people who are not human beings."**** A world of sorrow can be found in such statements. Don't take my word for any of this. To penetrate to the truth about Waldorf education, scrutinize the quotations I provide throughout this website — the words spoken and written by Rudolf Steiner and his followers. Read as much of this material as you wish; buy and read some Anthroposophical publications; visit other websites [see "Links"]; and then draw your own conclusions. * See "Schools as Churches". Not all Waldorf teachers are fully committed to, or fully understand, the Waldorf mission. Newly hired teachers may undergo a gradual process of indoctrination, a process that some may resist while others succumb. See the section titled "The Indoctrination of Teachers" on the page "Indoctrination". ** For more about these invisible bodies, see "Incarnation". To pursue Steiner's cosmic narrative a bit further, see the section titled "The Creed" on the page "Here's the Answer". *** For more about the Anthroposophical conception of freedom, see "Freedom". For more about the many gods of Anthroposophy, see "Polytheism". **** Rudolf Steiner, FACULTY MEETINGS WITH RUDOLF STEINER (Anthroposophic Press, 1998), p. 650. Note that Steiner said this during a Waldorf faculty meeting. See "Faculty Meetings" and "Secrets". [R.R., 2009.] Waldorf students and faculty produce a lot of art, some of it in distinctive Waldorf styles, and much of it intended to have spiritual meaning or spiritual effects — although students and their parents are usually not fully informed about the schools' spiritual purposes. For more on such matters, see "Magical Arts", "Anthroposophical Art", "Clues", and "Spiritual Agenda". (Clicking on these titles will take you to these pages.) I have pointed out some problems with the quotation shown at the top of this page. Here is one more problem. Many proponents of Waldorf education attribute the quotation to Rudolf Steiner, and some Waldorf schools give it prominence in their promotional materials. But the statement actually was made by someone else: The words were written by Steiner's second wife, Marie Steiner. You will find the statement on p. 27 of THE NEW ART OF EDUCATION (Philosophical-Anthroposophical Publishing, 1928) — introduction by Marie Steiner. I mention this because it reflects a difficulty confronting anyone who sets out to investigate Waldorf education. Much of the "information" provided by Waldorf schools is incomplete, misleading, or false. Sometimes, the deception caused by such misinformation is minor. But in other cases, the deception can be great, leading the unwary far from a clear understanding of Waldorf belief and practice. Indeed, one of the chief complaints made against Waldorf schools is that they deceive students' parents about Rudolf Steiner, his teachings, and the real nature of Waldorf schooling. [See "Secrets", "Our Experience", "Cautionary Tales", and "Summing Up".] Rudolf Steiner claimed to be clairvoyant. Many of his followers — including many Waldorf teachers — make the same claim for themselves. The problem is that clairvoyance is a delusion; it doesn't exist. This knocks the props out from under Waldorf education. If Waldorf education is based on Anthroposophy (and it is), and if Anthroposophy depends on clairvoyance (and it does), and if no one is truly clairvoyant (and no one is), then there is no valid basis for Waldorf education. To look into these issues, see "Clairvoyance", "Exactly", and "The Waldorf Teacher's Consciousness". I wrote most of the essays presented at this site, but you will also find plenty of commentary written by others. Waldorf-critical authors represented on the site include Geoffrey Ahern, Dan Dugan, Pete Karaiskos, Grégoire Perra, Ian Robinson, Margaret Sachs, Debra Snell, Peter Staudenmaier, and Diana Winters. Sergei O. Prokofieff, Richard Ramsbotham, Eugene Schwartz, Richard Seddon, Andrew J. Welburn, Roy Wilkinson, Lawrence Williams, Franz E. Winkler — and, of course, Rudolf Steiner himself.The pages here at Waldorf Watch are various and, I hope, stimulating. If you don't find value in any portion of a page, scroll down and you'll soon come to something else, often written by yours truly but fairly often written by someone else. Rudolf Steiner summarized his teachings in a book that has been published under such titles as AN OUTLINE OF OCCULT SCIENCE and, in a more recent translation, AN OUTLINE OF ESOTERIC SCIENCE. [Anthroposophic Press, 1997.] In essence, the book lays out the core doctrines of Anthroposophy, the worldview that underlies Waldorf education. Defenders of Waldorf education sometimes argue that Steiner's occult or esoteric teachings no longer hold a prominent place in Waldorf belief or practice. But this is untrue. Below is a photo of a class for aspiring Waldorf teachers held recently at Rudolf Steiner College, a Waldorf teacher-training institution in the USA. Note the book on the student's desk: It is AN OUTLINE OF ESOTERIC SCIENCE. You might also note the portrait of Steiner on the wall along with an interior shot of the Anthroposophical headquarters building, the Goetheanum. Training to become a Waldorf teacher looks a lot like training to become an Anthroposophist: It entails immersion in Rudolf Steiner's metaphysics. To be a right-thinking Waldorf teacher, you need to be an Anthroposophist. Steiner said so: "As Waldorf teachers, we must be true anthroposophists in the deepest sense of the word in our innermost feeling."* Waldorf authorities today still make the same point. For instance: "Waldorf teachers must be anthroposophists first and teachers second."** For more on all this, see "Teacher Training", "Waldorf Now", and "Who Says?". For a quick overview of Anthroposophy and its reflection in Waldorf schooling, you might take a look at "Manifestations". To delve into the central issue dealt with at this site, the nature of Waldorf education, see "Here's the Answer". To consider the religious underpinnings of the Waldorf movement, see "Is Anthroposophy a Religion?" For a portrait of the man who created Waldorf education and who is still the guiding light of the Waldorf movement — Rudolf Steiner — see "What a Guy". [R.R., 2010.] Many of the drawings and paintings here at Waldorf Watch — generally the less accomplished ones — are my efforts at copying or emulating Anthroposophical art. All art having distinctly Anthroposophical qualities derives, ultimately, from Rudolf Steiner's visions. See "Through His Eyes" and "Gallery". To delve into the standard Waldorf curriculum, Waldorf methods, and other elements of the Waldorf approach, see "The Waldorf Curriculum", "Methods", "Sneaking It In", and "Soul School". To review the text that, according to Waldorf authorities, most fully accounts for the Waldorf approach, see "Oh Humanity". The word "occult," which I have used several times on this page, is potentially both frightening and confusing. Steiner himself often used this word (in his native German, "Okkult"), applying it to his own work. He meant that his teachings deal in dark or hidden (secret or mysterious) wisdom that is possessed by only a few spiritual savants such as himself. [See "Occultism" and "Inside Scoop".] Earlier on this page, I reproduced the cover of the book AN OUTLINE OF ESOTERIC SCIENCE. Most editions of this crucial Steiner text have been published under more striking titles: either 1) AN OUTLINE OF OCCULT SCIENCE, or 2) OCCULT SCIENCE — AN OUTLINE. Thus, for instance, in 2009 Rudolf Steiner Press released the edition shown below: Anyone who really wants to understand Rudolf Steiner's teachings should tackle this dense tome in one edition or another, under one title or another. For a guided tour through the text, a tour in which I try to state plainly what Steiner often states obscurely, see "Everything". To look through a companion volume in which Steiner describes techniques his followers should use in their efforts to learn about the higher worlds, see "Knowing the Worlds". P.S. Steiner taught his followers that they are on a holy, messianic mission to save humanity and, indeed, to save the entire created universe. Thus, many Anthroposophists today feel that they are justified in resorting to almost any strategems to advance their mission. On occasion, this leads them to shade the truth, hide the truth, and deny the truth. Occasionally they also twist the truth, making deceitful statements about anyone they see as standing in their path. Quite understandably, my criticisms of Rudolf Steiner, Anthroposophy, and Waldorf education are upsetting to Steiner's followers. Various attacks have been aimed at me as a result. They are unimportant. The occasional true statements made about me in such attacks are unimportant; the many false statements made about me are equally unimportant. I am unimportant. (Some time ago, I decided not to respond to even the harshest attacks. Ad hominems are inherently pointless. I suggest that we turn our attention instead to what actually matters.) What matters is the truth about Waldorf education and the occult fantasies on which it is founded. I have striven to present the truth on every page of this website. Check this claim. I have included extensive documentation throughout the site, making it easy for you to see what sources of information I have used. So check up on the work you find here, and then determine the truth for yourself. — Roger Rawlings |

Stephen Colbert will have trouble attracting right-wing viewers, according to mighty Fox News mouth Bill O'Reilly, a who was the model for the blustery conservative pundit character on "The Colbert Report."
Right-wing pundits have been having their revenge on Colbert since he was picked to replace David Letterman as host of "The Late Show". CBS "declared war on the heartland of America" in selecting Colbert, Rush Limbaugh thundered last week.
"Traditionally, late night has been breezy with a minimum of posturing," O'Reilly declared. "But Colbert has built an entire career on pleasing the left."
Actually, surveys have shown that a considerable chunk of Colbert viewers were people who took his satirical conservative host character seriously.
But Comedy Central audiences have tended toward the liberal end of the spectrum, as has Letterman's viewership on "Late Night." During the 2012 campaign, Letterman never tired of making fun of the Mitt Romney family vacation in which the family dog was strapped in a container to the roof of the family car.
"So he has to compete with (Jimmy) Fallon and (Jimmy) Kimmel, high-energy guys who want to have a good time on their show," said O'Reilly. "It'd be hard to imagine that 40 percent of Americans who describe themselves as conservative will watch Colbert, and that's a lot of folks to lose from the jump."
"But," added BillO, "Colbert will have good writers and surely he knows his challenge."
O'Reilly has recently feuded with Colbert over the issue of income inequality. Limbaugh said that selection of Colbert represented an assault on "traditional American values."
Actually, Colbert is a practicing Catholic, suburban dad and father of three. By contrast, Limbaugh has been married four times, while O'Reilly has lately been embroiled in a child custody battle with his ex-wife and the policeman she married.

Day 43: Cat Stretch
by AccountingWEB on
printer friendly
Ideally this exercise should be done on the floor, with you on your hands and knees. But since you probably can't even see your floor for all the tax return folders, this variation allows you to stay off the floor but still get some stretching in your lower back.
Step 1: Stand up from your desk chair and take two steps back from your desk.
Step 2: Separate your legs so they are shoulder-width apart.
Step 3: Lean forward and place your hands on your desk, palms down, arms straight, and keep your back straight.
Step 4: Pull in your stomach muscles, arch your spine, lower back, shoulders, neck, and let your head drop.
Step 5: Hold for 15 seconds.
Repeat 20 times.

Do you believe that it is better to have separate

(implementation) ? Suppose that the same person had
the time to collect all the user data, define the

then code the project.
I am currently UI engineer, and I used to be a UI

Your opinions and why?

Date Assessed: | 2009-03-25 |
Assessor(s): | Russell, B. & Myers, R. |
Reviewer(s): | Liu, M. & Carpenter, K.E. |
Justification: Little is known of the population and life history characteristics of this species. It has restricted range (Hawaiian Islands). It occurs in both shallow and deep waters which possibly acts as a refuge. It is mostly common, except in areas frequented by aquarium fish collectors. It grows moderately large, juveniles sought for aquarium trade. There are no major threats. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. |
Range Description: | This species is restricted to the Hawaiian Islands from Kure Atoll, north of Midway to island of Hawaii and at Johnson Atoll (R. Myers pers. comm. 2008) to Maui in the south and Johnston Island (B. Russell pers. comm. 2008). |
Countries: | Native: United States; United States Minor Outlying Islands |
FAO Marine Fishing Areas: | Native:
Pacific – eastern central; Pacific – northwest
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | There is no population information for this species. It is a common species. |
Population Trend: | Unknown |
Habitat and Ecology: |
This species is common in rock and coral areas throughout those parts of the Hawaiian Islands that are not exploited by commercial aquarium fish collectors (Randall pers. comm.). It was collected at depths of 8-35 m. Strasburg et al. (1968) recorded individuals from submarine observations in 30-110 m off Oahu. Juveniles are known to clean other fishes (R. Myers pers. comm). |
Systems: | Marine |
Use and Trade: | This species is collected for the aquarium trade and larger individuals are sometimes collected by spearfishers. |
Major Threat(s): | Juveniles of this species are utilized as aquarium fish (B. Russell pers. comm. 2008). Large individuals are taken by spear fisherman and terminal males are uncommon in shallow waters of the main Hawiian Islands (Myers pers. comm., Randall 2007). |
Conservation Actions: | There are no specific conservation measures in place for this species. Its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas within its range. |
