Basilica of Superga
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the Italian Wikipedia. (March 2011)
Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
The Basilica of Superga (Italian: Basilica di Superga) is a church in the vicinity of Turin.
It was built from 1717 to 1731 for Victor Amadeus II of Savoy,[1] designed by Filippo Juvarra,[2] at the top of the hill of Superga. This fulfilled a vow the duke (and future King of Sardinia) had made during the Battle of Turin, after defeating the besieging French army within the War of the Spanish Succession.[2] The architect alluded to earlier styles while adding a baroque touch. The church contains the tombs of many princes and kings of the House of Savoy, including the Monument to Carlo Emanuele III (1733) by Ignazio Collino and his brother Filippo. Under the church are the tombs of the Savoy family, including most of its members (among them, Charles Albert).
This church by Juvarra is considered late Baroque-Classicism.[3] The dome was completed in 1726 and resembles some elements of Michelangelo's dome at St. Peter's Basilica. This is no coincidence as Juvarra studied and worked in Rome for ten years prior to working in Turin. The temple front protrudes from a dome structure citing the Pantheon. The temple front is larger than typical proportions because the Superga is set upon this hill. It is also believed that Victor Amadeus wanted the basilica to rest on this hill as reminder of the power of the Savoy family as well as continue a line of sight to the existing castle in Rivolli. Later, the Stupinigi completed the triangle between the three residences of Savoy.
The Royal Crypt of Superga is the burial place of the Savoy family.
The history of the Church can be traced to September 2, 1706, when Duke Victor Amadeus II of Savoy and the Prince of Carignan Eugene of Savoy climbed the hill to see Turin besieged by Franco-Spanish forces during the War of the Spanish Succession. Victor Amadeus, having knelt down in front of an old prop, swore that, in case of victory, he would have a monument built to our Lady (the Virgin Mary). From dawn until the early hours of the afternoon of September 7 the armies clashed in the fields at Jaya and Madonna di Campagna. Piedmontese armies achieved victory over the French. The entrance of the basilica with its portico supported by eight columns. Vittorio Amedeo was crowned King of Sicily. He entrusted the design of this building to Filippo Juvarra.
The mountain at which the Basilica is found was the site of the Superga air disaster of Grande Torino football team in 1949.

2000 may have seemed like a bit of a wasted year in music. At least that is what it appeared to be at first glance. After looking over what came out this year, however, we were pleasantly surprised to find a few gems hidden amongst the rap-rock of the Limp Bizkits and the ghetto pop anthems of the Britney Spears and Christina Aguileras.
As we racked our brains to see what set us in motion, both phsyically and emotionally, we often came up with albums that came out in 1999 but that were still rocking our world. So, back to the drawing board we went - headphones in hand, lights dimmed, candles burning.
And what we found is some amazing music. And what surprised us even more was the fact that most of this amazing music was imported from our friends overseas. No one ever said America was famous for its quality music... but at least we know where to find it.
So, without further ado....
CriticsNest / Music-Critic.com's Top Ten Albums of 2000.
Number 10en Outkast - Stankonia
Outkast has always been at the cutting edge of hip-hop, but with Stankonia they turned it on its head with their techno-jungle-rock beats and always fresh rhymes. >
Number 9ine The Dandy Warhols - Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia
"Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth" gave The Dandy Warhols a one-hit wonder label. But this year this Portland band showed us what they were really capable of.
Number 8ight: Paul van Dyk - Out There and Back
Electronic music is still an underground phenomena, not played on most radio. Still, this Berlin DJ's trance has showed the world that electronic music is still here to stay.
Number 7even: Radiohead - Kid A
OK Computer set England's Radiohead apart as the band to watch to see where rock music could go. With Kid A they ventured into soundscapes when their rock met electronics.
Number 6ix: Björk - Selmasongs
"Dancer in the Dark" garnered high praise in the film circuit. Bjork's soundtrack to this musical was Iceland's Bjork at her finest. Totally out there, but totally beautiful.
Number 5ive: Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbeast
You may have heard "The Shining" on a gap commercial, but that pretty tune is just a sample of what this British boy has to offer. Beautiful vocals and instrumentation make this the come-down album of the year.
Number 4our: Aimee Mann - Bachelor #2
The former Til Tuesday singer became an indie-rock heroine this year when she released Bachelor #2 online and then through an independent label. Featuring a few tracks off the Magnolia soundtrack, the newer stuff was even better.
Number 3hree: U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
Quite possibly their best album to date, these Irish boys returned to their roots, leaving the electronics behind. The Edge shined, Bono crooned, the world listened, and U2 returned.
Number 2wo: Coldplay - Parachutes
"Yellow" was just the beginning. Another new brit-pop band to watch out for, Coldplay released a mellow album full of heart and soul - almost as good as our number one.
Number 1ne: Travis - The Man Who
If you haven't heard this album, you must. Especially if you are a fan of heartelt Britpop. This year's Radiohead, Travis brought the stadiums to beautiful unison with their single "Why Does it Always Rain on Me," and treated them to a collection of bliss with the rest of this album.
And so, as you can see, most of the best music came from overseas. Mostly from Britain.. but who cares? So long as we are treated to music like this, that is all that matters. There was plenty more great music other than this, but only so many can be counted as the best.
Until next year then... may the new millenium put the old to shame.
Check out our top ten hip-hop albums of 2000.
We want you to voice your opinion! If you would like to let your voice be heard, write up your own editorial column and mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com We will look it over and hopefully get it posted for you. All submissions become property of CriticsNest.com

Rich Hill's injury leaves the Red Sox short of a left-handed reliever and opens the door for Hideki Okajima to potentially be called back up from Triple-A, but Okajima told Michael Vega of the Boston Globe that he "would rather not be called up in this situation."
Demoted to Triple-A for the second time this season, Okajima called it "a new start for me" explained that "hopefully along the line another team will show more interest in me and I can be traded."
Of course, it's unclear whether the Red Sox would seriously consider recalling Okajima to fill Hill's spot anyway. He's obviously fallen out of favor in a big way and they were willing to lose him on waivers for nothing last week, but predictably no other teams were willing to take on the remainder of his $1.75 million salary.
- royhobbs39 - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:05 AM
I know he has gone downhill, but it seems like someone in contention would be willing to grab a lefty reliever with a good deal of big league experience? Have his outings really been that bad this year?
- deathmonkey41 - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:10 AM
Maybe he can get his hands on some of those "Dominican Milkshakes" from Big Papi and turn his career around.
- Jack Marshall - Jun 3, 2011 at 1:17 PM
What a despicable and unfair comment.
- marinersnate - Jun 3, 2011 at 1:30 PM
"Maybe he can get his hands on some of those "Dominican Milkshakes" from Big Papi.."
Or maybe just hang out with A-Rod's cousin.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I'm still not sure why the Yankees didn't claim him. They are desperate for a lefty, and his salary is not prohibitive.
- deathmonkey41 - Jun 3, 2011 at 11:42 AM
Yeah, if the Yankees have one lefty in the bullpen who's not pitching all that well and they didn't claim him, then he must be damaged goods.
- pisano - Jun 3, 2011 at 8:28 PM
I'll tell you why, he's a bum. Anytime the Red Sox reassign a player it's usually because they have burned him out. I have a feeling their next victim will be Alfredo Aceves, stand by.
- frankvzappa - Jun 3, 2011 at 12:07 PM
I understand really good players having a problem with losing skills as they get older, but Oki was always just a decent relief pitcher. He has no right to act like the organization is wronging one of its stars. I will thumbs down myself just to give you guys a head start on it.
- droogleeddie - Jun 3, 2011 at 12:14 PM
This can't be about his numbers…
After giving up 3 runs in less than an inning in his first outing of the year, he has only given up 1 run in 7.2 innings. He has been left effective against lefties than righties, which is weird… but you would figure SOME team would try to pick him up.
He is a lefty reliever with a decent track record (though he did not have a great year last year)… I wonder if he slapped Francona in the face or hit on Theo's girlfriend or something.
- Jack Marshall - Jun 3, 2011 at 1:21 PM
Oki is justified in feeling mistreated. There was no reason to dump him to bring in Morales, who hasn't pitched as well as he had this season, and Morales is now disabled too. He has a bad year in 2010, but looked pretty much like the the 2007-2008 model thus far.
That said, I have no idea why he wasn't picked up on waivers. Somebody must know something.

Ramazan Bayramı is the three-day holiday that follows the end of the holy month of Ramazan. (Here are the dates.)
Called Eid es-Seghir in many other Muslim countries, Ramazan Bayramı (sometimes called Şeker Bayramı [sheh-KEHR bah-yee-rah-muh, "Candy Holiday"]) starts at sunset on the last day of Ramazan, and celebrates the completion of the holy month of fasting.
In Turkey, it is an official national holiday. On the last day of Ramazan, most offices and businesses close after lunch for "preparation" (arife, ah-ree-FEH). The three-day holiday itself begins at sunset on that day, and lasts until sunset on the third day. So if the last day of Ramazan is Monday, the holiday begins Monday sunset and lasts until Thursday sunset.
Offices close for the half day of arife and for the three days of holiday.
Museums, archeological sites and similar visitor sights close for the first full day of the holiday, but are usually open on the second and third days, and may be particularly busy with visitors. Special lower holiday admission fees may be in force.
Transport may be on holiday (Sunday) schedules, at least for the first day of the holiday. Transport services may be particularly busy as people travel for vacation, so reserve your seats in advance.
On the last day of Ramazan Bayramı, transport may be busy as holiday travelers return home.
In Turkey, Ramazan Bayramı is a time for sending greeting cards to friends and loved ones, paying visits, and enjoying a lot of sweets. Everyone enjoys drinking lots of Turkish tea and coffee in broad daylight after the 30 days of daylight fasting during Ramazan.

This is the hotel at Parachilna, a typical old Aussie pub.
We arrived at dusk on Saturday, and had a drink in the bar to unwind. It was a good drive, but right at the end there were a few kangaroos with no road sense. The wildlife is always a hazard on out back roads, luckily we managed to avoid them. If I lived out here I would probably drive a great big 4WD like the one in the photo.
The decorations in the bar were decidedly rural, including this magnificent skull.
Once it was dark they lit a fire out the front, and everyone stood round with their drinks, toasting themselves in the heat and admiring the night sky full of stars. Two of the guests were setting off the next morning on a 6 day bushwalk, which sounded wonderful. The scenery is magnificent, and when you cover it on foot you have time to admire it properly. There are two pilots based here who offer scenic flights, and they were interesting to talk to as well.
One of the features of this pub is the food, which features 'feral' meat; goat, camel, emu, kangaroo and rabbit. Seonaid has always been a cautious eater, so the menu was a bit daunting for her. We settled for antipasto, which was unadventurous, but delicious anyway.
In the morning I wandered around by myself while Seonaid was touring the whole place and learning more about the job.
I watched the pilots fussing over the planes before the first flight of the day; if I was brave enough I would go up in one of these tiny planes, but I'm a chicken. About 10 years ago I had a very scary flight in a little 16 seater, and once it was over I vowed I would never again fly in a plane where I could touch both sides at once.
I was reading this information poster when I noticed something interesting.
At first I only noticed the men, railway workers from 1905,
then I saw there was a child in the photo as well, and when I looked closer there is a dog curled up at one man's feet. It really brings those times to life, to think of the family life behind this image. In those days it would have been a rare privilege to have your photo taken, and some mother was probably tickled pink to have her child in the photograph.
We were on the road again by lunchtime, and had a good trip home. It's great to get away from everyday life and visit some place new.
Seonaid was impressed by the hotel and the people who run it, and decided she'd like to give it a go, so this weekend we'll be going back to get her settled in the staff quarters. I'll miss my girl dreadfully, but I'm sure she will have an amazing time working in this incredible spot. And I'll visit as often as I can.

BZZZZT...very wrong answer. USHIP is a lowest bidder brokerage site. This means that USHIP does not transport your vessel, the quotes will be very low and you will not get a reputable company to move your vessel. I cannot stress to you enough that unless you want your boat beat to pieces you need to make sure that the name on the door of the truck is the same as the name of the carrier you contract with for the move.
USHIP and the one that is on that stupid TV show where the idiots are always having so much trouble moving stuff, are the same type of deal, as is freightquote.com and several others. Brokerage is a great tool when moving pipe or frozen chickens, and there are some spectacular brokers out there. I know, I was one of them for many years, but for a single move yacht haul you need to go direct to the carrier, the ICC MC number on the door needs to match the insurance certificate you require on the move from the carrier.
Now you can listen to a guy who had one boat quoted, or the guy who literally has been the responsible party for millions of tons of freight...you pick.
It is good to learn from your mistakes, but much better to learn from the mistakes of others...

Let's hope the Planning Commission makes an iron-clad agreement with the owner. The seniors living in their homes are on fixed incomes and cannot afford to pay more more for rent, or for that matter pay for the air space under their homes. Most of these seniors are living in the mobile home park because their children live in town. They gave up their own homes to be nearer to their children who often care for them. There is a ten year agreement from the owner to not make the seniors pay more for rent or pay for their airpace. Our city needs to make sure this agreement withstands the sale of the property, survives if the owner dies and passes his propterties onto his children. This owner also owns several other mobile home parks in the state who are also going through the same process. Makes you wonder.

I too, am concerned about Senior's having affordable housing.
What was the outcome of the planning commission?

One can only hope this outcome takes as long as the Stoneridge Extension took to reach closure.

COLUMBIA – No one gets everything they want, but most people were finally in agreement about changes to the downtown noise ordinance at a City Council meeting Monday night.
The council unanimously passed an ordinance that will lessen the regulations regarding downtown noise.
The bill amends the existing noise ordinance in the following ways:
- On weekdays, noise will be prohibited extending beyond 300 feet from the source from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; 150 feet from 10 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.; and 50 feet from 1:30 to 7 a.m.
- On weekends, noise will be prohibited extending beyond 300 feet from the source from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; 150 feet from 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.; and 50 feet from 1:30 to 7 a.m.
The previous ordinance prohibited noise heard from 100 feet away during the day and 50 feet at night. Days of the week were not considered.
The bill was proposed in 2009 and came to its current form after much consideration and many changes.
"The extra time gave us a lot of opportunity to pull extra people into the process," said Carrie Gartner, director of the Special Business District. "I think this does two things: It gives bars and entertainment venues a little more leeway when it comes to noise, but it also adds some protections for residents in that the outdoor music does have some limits to it."
Tom Atkinson, majority owner of Shiloh Bar and Grill, said he was in agreement with the ordinance amendments as a starting point.
"It's not exactly what we wanted, but compromise means a little give and take," Atkinson said.
Atkinson said that he was a little concerned about the time cut off of 1:30 a.m.
"This is the time when the bars are required to have all their patrons out," he said. "Outside, there are still a big amount of people waiting for rides and cabs. I don't want to see ticketing for patrons downtown spending money."
Gartner is also concerned about people gathered haphazardly on the sidewalks after bars close.
"We would like to start working on a taxi stands ordinance where people are standing in line and not just milling about blocking sidewalks," Gartner said. "First things first, though."
First Ward Councilman Paul Sturtz commended all the work done on the project and said that this is a testament to the positive effects that tabling an ordinance can have. He did question Atkinson about the future of what he dubbed "the great wall of Shiloh."
Atkinson said, "I'm pretty confident that with the passing of this ordinance, we could control people without the wall."

Just in case you missed it Adam and Chels is getting back together. Lily does not need to lose her husband just in case Chels needs a man why is Chels more deserving of Lily's life then Lily is? Folks are always crying about Chels living Sharon's fairtale but you want Lily to hand hers over to her. The way the mind works. That is the point of the Tyler pushing it is not about love for Lily if it was love you would not want her with that little snippy boy. He has nothing he never stays put according to his Sister he makes a life style of hitting on married women but it is a great thing for Lily to have him |
mermag |
Absolutely not! Chelsea is adorable and is trying to be a good person. I don't feel as if Cane is good enough for her. I really think Adam is a fool for doing what he did but he is, in my opinion, a good guy when he is with Chelsea. |

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) A 60-year-old southwest Iowa man has been sentenced five years in federal prison for using a computer to transport obscene material.
The U.S. Attorney's office for the southern district of Iowa says Danny Joel Hummel, of Essex, was also sentenced Friday to 10 years of supervision following his release.
Hummel pleaded guilty to the charge on July 11. Officials say he was getting images in December from an off-site electronic data storage location while he was under the supervision of federal probation officers for a prior child pornography conviction.

Gibbons, Stephen, McNally, Sandra and Viarengo, Martina (2012) In brief: urban schools: does money make a difference? Centrepiece, 17 (1). pp. 12-13. ISSN 1362-3761
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This research paper is motivated by a long tail at the bottom of the educational distribution, educational inequality between those from high and low socio-economic groups and the question as to what role an increase in school resources has in changing all this. The issue about whether investing more money in schools is effective has long been controversial in the academic literature. It is also a controversial policy issue in this time of public expenditure cuts and reforms to educational finance. With regard to the latter, the Pupil Premium is an important new policy introduced this year – and this paper is useful for considering the potential effects.

Two Love Stories
The Song of Songs is really two love stories: the story of two lovers, and the story of their love for the Earth. Drawing inspiration from nature, they invent a metaphorical language to express their delight in each other's beauty, grace, and vigor. In the process, they become poetic embodiments of the land and its life.
My love is a gazelle, a wild stag. There he stands on the other side of our wall, gazing between the stones.
---Song of Solomon 2:9
Your breasts are two fawns, twins of a gazelle, grazing in a field of lilies.
---Song of Solomon 4:5
But there is more than metaphor in the ability of these two lovers to flow magically from shape to shape. Their fluidity arises from the author's sense of connectedness with the life of the Earth. The Song is an articulation of the primordial religion of love and wonder, and the experience of mystical union. Love has the power to lead us into the most profound communion with nature and its Source, sweeping away the illusion of separateness and uniting Heaven and Earth in a primordial sacred marriage.
"in an embrace of this kind, all considerations of time and place, of what and who, drop away" and they discover in themselves "the primordial 'love that makes the world go round.' There is an extraordinary melting sensation ... and, 'seeing their eyes reflected in each other's, they realize that there is one Self looking out through both... The conceptual boundary between male and female, self and other, dissolves, and---as every spoke leads to the hub---this particular embrace on the this particular day discloses itself as going on forever, behind the scenes."
--- Alan Watts, "Erotic Spirituality,"1971, p. 89
This erotic wedding of spirit and body is vividly conveyed by the Song's most pervasive metaphor, in which the young woman is pictured as a garden, a vineyard, or---as in verses 4:1 through 4:7---a mountainous landscape filled with animal life. This passage suggests a tryst, sub rosa, high on a hill, where the Song's young lovers survey a broad landscape. They see doves, hiding in a thicket; a flock of goats bounding down the mountainside; white ewes rising from a pond; two fawns grazing together in a field of lilies. All of these images are woven together by the Song's Romeo into a poetic vision celebrating his lover's charms. From his intimate perspective, her sensuous curves seem like continuations of the rolling landscape, and he becomes an explorer on "the mountain of myrrh" and "the hill of frankincense." This linking of landscape and bodyscape is more than metaphor. There is a kind of nature mysticism in the Song of Solomon that springs from an ancient and very different way of relating to the Earth. In his lover, the Song's Romeo discovers nature's human heart; he falls in love with the Earth's human face and voice.
The Song's inherent mysticism becomes more explicit in verses 4:8 through 5:1. We find them standing together on a mountain peak, in the rugged domain of wild animals ("the mountains of the leopards" and "the lion's dens.") But this is also the domain of gods and goddesses, where panoramic vistas awaken a sense of communion with the divine. Here, in the high places, Moses encountered the sky god, Yahweh; and alters stood here for hundreds years in honor of Yahweh's counterpart---the Hebrew goddess, Asherah---until they were destroyed by her enemies (1). Sensing danger in this wilderness, the youth urges his love to return with him to the valley, and after following him down, she merges once again into the landscape. A fresh running stream traces their path from those vistas in the mountains to a secret garden in the valley, bridging the gap between heaven and earth. This stream brings life-giving water from the sky and surges like a fountain in the Earth's fertile recesses. ("You are a fountain in the garden, a well of living waters...") As they make love, she is both the "woman in the garden" and the garden itself. Their lovemaking mingles with that of the primordial lovers, Father Sky and Mother Earth:
Awake, north wind! 0 south wind, come, breathe upon my garden, let its spices stream out. Let my lover come into his garden and taste its delicious fruit.
Song of Solomon 4:16
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride, I have gathered my myrrh and my spices, I have eaten from the honeycomb, I have drunk the milk and the wine.
Song of Solomon 5:1 Translation by Ariel and Chana Bloch
Longing for the most intimate fusion with her lover, her sense of self overflows the illusory boundaries of the body. Her lover is the doorway through whom she plunges into the ocean of life and consciousness in the garden where they make love. That is to say, she becomes the garden; and this sense of oneness with nature and nature's Source is the basis of her confidence that "love is stronger than death" (Song 8:6)---an insight that many people have had, with various degrees of clarity:
"The entire universe is a manifestation of our own deeper being. In our being we are naturally one with all. Through relationship we are trying to rediscover that unity... to discover ourselves beyond the boundaries of the physical body."
---David Frawley "Vedantic Meditation" © 2000, p.57
"Through sacred sexuality, we directly participate in the vastness of being---the mountains, rivers, and animals of the Earth, the planets and the stars, and our next door neighbors"
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi Yes! Magazine, Winter 1998
"Eros is connective energy par excellence. Through erotic passion we overcome our habitual egoic insularity and reach out into the core of other beings. Blazing eros recognizes no barrier; it is the organic impulse toward wholeness"
---Georg Feuerstein
An engaging contemporary account of this unitive experience is given by Trisha Feuerstein, in her husband's book Sacred Sexuality. This is what she wrote:
"My first memory of that incident is of awakening one morning after a night of lovemaking and feeling as if I had not been asleep. I felt as though I was conscious or constantly awake on some higher plane. That entire day I remember feeling totally and perfectly relaxed.
In this perfect relaxation I stood outside of time. It was as if time normally flowed in a horizontal plane, and I had somehow stepped out of this horizontal flow into a timeless state. There was absolutely no sense of the passage of time. To say there was no beginning or ending of time would seem irrelevant. There was simply no time.
I remember coming home from work a few days later, standing in the living room of my little studio apartment, and suddenly realizing that I had no edges. There was no me. The thought arose, and these are the exact words, "This is what I AM in truth." I remember looking over to the door of my apartment and thinking, "There is no difference between door jambs and smog." There is no difference between anything whatsoever. Everything is the same. There is only apparent difference.
I remember that the thoughts also arose, "You could shoot me in this moment and I would laugh." Everything material seemed superfluous. It was all spontaneously and playfully arising from one great source, and it could just as well cease to arise in any moment.
Somehow I had become infinity with eyes. I felt as if I had just been born in that moment, or that I had been asleep all my life and had just awakened. I also remember thinking that this was the true condition of everyone and that everyone could know this.
This particular moment remains, seventeen years later, the single most significant moment of my life. It was also the most ordinary, simple, happy, normal, neurosis-free moment of my life. I was simply being what I AM, and what everyone else IS, in truth.
I remained in this state of edgelessness for about three weeks, and life was intensely magnified. When I walked, I felt so light it was as if my feet did not touch the ground. I had no appetite for food---in fact, most of what I tried to eat left a strange metallic taste in my mouth. And although I ate almost nothing during this period, I lost no weight. I remember telling my lover that it felt as if my spine were plugged into the "universal socket" and that it was a source of infinite energy.
During this time I was more creative than I had ever been---or have been since---both at work and outside of work. All the limits on my thinking were no longer in place. I also became prescient---seeing into the future and then later experiencing the scenes I had foreseen down to the last detail. This astonished me.
I also remember sitting at my desk at work one day and turning to look at one of my officemates. In an instant I was drowning in bliss, overwhelmed with love and compassion for my fellow worker, and for every being and thing I looked at. I loved everyone, including my lover, the same ---infinitely. There was really no one separate to love. Tears silently rolled down my cheeks. I felt infinite love and infinite pain at the same time, the pain arising from realizing the power and primacy of love, yet how little we love.
I remember thinking that this universal love is what the Madonna symbolizes. Then suddenly I felt as if I were the source of all creation, that the universe was arising from me, or through me---from whatever this infinite thing was I had become."
---Trisha Feuerstein "Sacred Sexuality," by Georg Feuerstein
Christian mystics---like the mystics of other spiritual traditions---made the same discovery: At the root of all, there is a single unifying Self:
"The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me: my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing and one love."
---Meister Eckhart, German Sermon No. 12.
"The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge ... God is nearer to me than I am to myself."
---Meister Eckhart
Speaking from the same vista of consciousness, Jesus said, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:24-30) and "I am the vine; you are the branches." (John 15:5) Likewise, in the Gospel of Thomas, he suggests that when we come to know ourselves on the deepest level, we come to know God: "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.'' For that reason the Gospel of Philip advises, "Do not seek to become a Christian, but a Christ.'' And in the literature of "bridal mysticism," medieval mystics---using the erotic language of the Song of Solomon---describe the experience of "unitive consciousness" as a mystical union with Christ.
The experience of unitive consciousness is generally associated with self-denial and disciplined prayer or meditation. But in the Song of Solomon this insight is charged with eros, reflecting the author's awareness that it can arise, at times, in a sexual context, as a result of deeply felt, selfless love---which is, after all, a way of transcending one's own limited sense of self.
The Song of Songs was set in its final form some 300 years before the birth of Christ, and it preserves elements that are much older---rooted in a time when our sacred role in the regeneration of life was thought to be the very heart of religion. The earth was perceived as the visible body of the Goddess---the manifest Source of Life. In that context, it would have been quite natural for a young woman who was crossing the border from childhood to motherhood to identify with this maternal Source---to imagine herself as a garden of earthly delights for her lover's pleasure, and to be open to the experience of mystical union with the creative power of the universe.
In her book, Sacred Pleasure, Riane Eisler pointed out the vast difference between historic and prehistoric views of sexuality. This difference is evident in early Neolithic art, which features numerous images of pregnancy and birth. At the same time, there are very few scenes of men raping women and killing each other in battle. Eros was regarded as the vitalizing principle of the universe, and the Song of Songs resonates with that ethos. Eisler compares it with the hymns to Inanna, in that it contains:
"important clues to an earlier time when, far from being a male "sex object," woman was seen as the conduit for what in Indian sacred writings is called the kundalini: the powerful divine energy from whence comes both life and bliss."
---Riane Eisler Sacred Pleasure ©1995, p.68
There are even references to the rite of sacred marriage---an act of sympathetic magic, in which the king and the high-priestess engaged in sexual intercourse in order to stimulate the regeneration of nature and ensure a bountiful harvest. The Song goes deeper, to the primordial root of this ceremony.
The idea that sexual intercourse can exert a magical power over nature seems naive and superstitious in this scientific age. Nevertheless, the rite of sacred marriage was, in a way, prophetic. Our role in the regeneration of life is now absolutely crucial for the well-being of all life on this planet. We need to rediscover that the Earth is our own body. Our health and viability as a species are inseparably linked with the integrity of the biosphere. The poisons that we dump into the Earth's circulatory system, end up in our own. For our own sake and for the sake of our children and grandchildren, we need to be actively engaged in preserving and repairing Earth's ecosystems. The greatest obstacles to this vital work are war and the reckless exploitation of natural resources and labor.
Make Love, Not War
"The ecological spirituality called for today is founded in a deep recognition of the unity of life ---a unity that is celebrated in the act of love"
"we share our somatic reality with countless other beings with whom we are interconnected and interdependent. Contemporary spirituality is, then, meaningful only to the degree that it is ecological in the broadest sense of the term."
Recently James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming, was interviewed on the television program 60 Minutes. Hansen sees compelling evidence that we have just 10 years to reduce greenhouse gases before global warming reaches a tipping point and becomes unstoppable.
As a government scientist, Hansen is taking a risk. There are things the White House doesn't want you to hear about, but he is determined to say them anyway. "In my more than three decades in the government I've never witnessed such restrictions on the ability of scientists to communicate with the public," he says. Politicians are rewriting the science.
In several interviews with the New York Times, Hansen stated that officials at NASA headquarters had ordered the public affairs staff to review his coming lectures, interviews, papers, and postings on the Goddard Website. "They feel their job is to be this censor of information going out to the public," he said, and pointed out that this is only the latest in a long series of attempts to muzzle government climatologists. Hansen said he would ignore these restrictions because "public concern is probably the only thing capable of overcoming the special interests that have obfuscated the topic."
Given that global warming is a problem that will not be solved without broad public support and participation, why would the current administration---which claims to be the great defender of our national security---want us to remain ignorant of this threat to our security? And who are the "special interests" that have "obfuscated" this critical issue?
In 1961, the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II---Dwight D. Eisenhower---chose the moment of his farewell address, as president of the United States, to warn Americans about the rising power of the military-industrial complex. Nor was Eisenhower the first to sound the alarm. Back in 1933, Major General Smedley Butler wrote a searing indictment of the war racket:
I helped make Mexico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
Eisenhower's warning has proven prophetic. Due to the continuing failure of campaign finance reform, and a few stolen elections, the U.S. government is now controlled by what John Perkins refers to as a "corporatocracy": a network of corporations, banks, and U.S.-dominated aid agencies. This takeover has been a long process, under both democratic and republican administrations. Read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, by John Perkins.
Economic hit men," John Perkins writes, "are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder." John Perkins should know -- he was an economic hit man. His job was to convince countries that are strategically important to the U.S.---from Indonesia to Panama ---to accept enormous loans for infrastructure development, and to make sure that the lucrative projects were contracted to U. S. corporations. Saddled with huge debts, these countries came under the control of the United States government, World Bank, and other U.S.-dominated aid agencies that acted like loan sharks---dictating repayment terms and bullying foreign governments into submission.
The first step toward solving a problem is acknowledging the problem. Americans need to wake up and shake off their all-too-often willful ignorance---mesmerized, as they are, by the bread and circuses of the corporate media. Here are several powerful teaching tools. If you care about what sort of world your grandchildren will inherit, watch these documentaries and recommend them to your friends:

A Maiden In Distress
The Song of Songs is really two love stories: the story of two lovers, and the story of their love for the Earth. Larry Rasmussen, author of Earth Community, Earth Ethics made the same observation:
"Song of Songs," of course, refers to that Earthy little book of the Hebrew Bible where you've got two love stories going on at the same time---you've got this sensuous love between human beings, and then you've got the sensuous love of these passionate souls for the land and its life.
The Icon 'Round God's Neck
The depth of our love is being measured on this eve of destruction, as war and ecocide threaten to destroy our children's life-support system. The Earth is a maiden in distress.
"Earth remains our Mother, as God remains our Father, and our Mother will only lay in the Father's arms those who remain true to her. Earth and its distress---that is the Christian's 'Song of Songs.'"
---Dietrich Bonhoeffer The Foundations of Christian Ethics
"Our religious vocation for the foreseeable future is Earthkeeping. Fidelity to God now expresses itself as fidelity to the Earth."
--Larry Rassmussen
Wedding the Land
In the matriarchal societies of the ancient Near East, and during the transition to patriarchy, kingship was conferred by wedding the high priestess, which was a symbolic way of wedding the Earth herself---the maternal Source of life. We find a reference to this rite in verse 3:11. Notice that it is Solomon's mother who provides the crown, and his marriage which provides the occassion for his coronation.
Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at Solomon the King! See the crown his mother set on his head on the day of his wedding, the day of his heart's great joy.
---Song of Solomon 3:11
By wedding the land, the king became the shepherd of his kingdom and accepted the priviledge and responsibility of stewardship. This is an idea that needs to be reinvented for a more democratic age. We are living in a perilous time, and the Earth is in dire need of responsible stewardship. When two people fall in love and start a family, they affirm the beauty and essential goodness of this world. By blessing the Earth with children, we participate in the renewal of this unique human way of experiencing and exploring the universe. We co-create the world with God. We marry the land. As in the ancient rite of sacred marriage, a contemporary wedding presents an opportunity for two lovers to declare this affirmation of human life. And, for those who care deeply about the Earth and her distress, it presents an opportunity to declare their love and commitment, not only to each other but to their children and grandchildren.
In these perilous times, when human beings have the power to completely destroy the biosphere and abort all life on this planet, a wedding ceremony takes on a whole new meaning. Our species has been almost too successful in the long battle for survival, and we have yet to learn how to live in harmony with nature, and manage the Earth's finite resources in a way that is wise and sustainable. Our sacred role in the regeneration of life--- considered by our Neolithic ancestors to be the very heart of religion---has, in fact, become absolutely critical for the preservation of life on Earth.
Christians have a vital role to play in this much needed healing. As Mark Wallace put it in his essay, "The Green Face of God," the Christian spiritual tradition is the "the pharmakon of looming environmental disaster." Christianity is, in part, "both the cause of the problem and its solution."
"Lynn White, in a now famous essay, writes that Western Christianity's attack on paganism effectively stripped the natural world of any spiritual meaning by replacing the belief that the Sacred is in rivers and trees with the doctrine that God is a disembodied Spirit whose true residence is in heaven, not on earth. The impact of Christianity's antipagan teachings has tended to empty the biosphere of any sense of God's presence in natural things. But if the root of the environmental problem is deeply spiritual or religious at its core, it is also the case, ironically, that a partial answer to the problem lies in a rehabilitation of the earth-friendly teachings within the spiritual traditions that seem most hostile to nature, namely, the Christian tradition. Christianity, then, is the pharmakon of looming environmental disaster: in part, it is both the cause of the problem and its solution. It is both the origin of the ecocidal "disease" from which we suffer and its "cure," insofar as it provides resources for a new green mindset toward nature that is a prophylactic against antinature attitudes and habits."
A rich store of such resources can be found in the Christian mystical tradition. And in the Song of Solomon, as I have tried to show, there is a profound spiritual dimension: a deep sense of oneness with nature and its Source. This is the consciousness that we need to cultivate in our art and literature, and translate into political action, if our children and grandchildren are to live and thrive in a free society on a healthy planet.
"The Earth remains our mother just as God remains our father, and our mother will only lay in the father's arms those who are true to her. Earth and its distress---this is the Christian's song of songs."
"The world is pregnant with God."
---Angela of Foligno

Abstract: | The Wigner-function approach to quantum transport in mesoscopic electron devices is presented. The concept of Wigner paths allows the formulation of a Monte Carlo simulation which is quantum mechanically rigorous and yet very similar to the one used in semi-classical transport theory. The effect of a potential profile is separated into a term acting as a classical force in the particle orbits and a scattering integral that contains only quantum effects. Phonon scattering is included in the paths in a way that takes automatically into account all quantum effects, such as intracollisional field effect and collisional broadening. |

Electric hybrid Inboard Vs Diesel
So I have done a bit of reading and there are a few things I am pretty unsure about.
for the last couple of years I have owned a 1968 Columbia 28 with a glassed in keel that has served me well. The old Atomic 4 is starting to look and behave tired and beyond refreshing it I am considering some other options and wanted to get the thoughts of others.
I primarily sail in the California area of the Pacific. My more often than not trip is to Santa Catalina Island but I would also like to visit some other places that are a bit farther. The Mexico Islands are on my list of musts sometime in the next couple of years. Also because of where my boat is slipped it takes me a good 45 min to motor out of the break water so I guess the point I am making is that range is certainly a factor.
While Diesel is certainly an option in my mind its an undertaking even to someone like me to works on boats its a pretty costly fit up and may be the eventual route I go, especially since I would like to fit it up with a second tank and run biodiesel on the second tank increasing my range by about double.
Another option and the only one that is feasible in the electric class in my mind is the Electric hybrid. Increased battery bank, dedicated electric drive and a 4 stroke generator to charge the batteries. I am pretty uncertain about how many batteries I would need to not but too much draw on the batteries at a time and have a reasonable range and I have no idea what level of generator I would need to be able to charge the bank while it is under load from the drive motor but I am certainly interested in everyone's thoughts.

EAST LONGMEADOW - Police said they arrested an 18-year-old Springfield man, who attracted their attention Sunday morning when he was spotted harassing geese at Heritage Park, after they determined that he had a warrant for his arrest.
"He was flailing a pink jacket at the geese to get them to fly off," Sgt. Patrick M. Manley said of arrestee Giovanni Oliver, of 11 Brunswick St., Springfield.
Oliver was one of several people who arrived at the park shortly after 10 a.m. and began chasing geese.
Manley said the warrant had been issued out of juvenile court in Springfield when Oliver was a minor. He did not know what the warrant was for.
Oliver made the news last September when he, along with two other suspects, allegedly stole 17 tubes of toothpaste at gunpoint from a CVS pharmacy on Belmont Street in Springfield.
The store supervisor noticed the three suspects carrying backpacks and stealing merchandise. When the man confronted the teens one suspect showed him a handgun and all three fled, Springfield Police Sgt. John M. Delaney said.
Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said police officers spotted the trio walking on Belmont Avenue near Longfellow Terrace. When officers stopped the suspects for questioning they fled. Officers chased the teens on foot and state police used a helicopter and the K-9 unit to catch them. Police caught two of the suspects.
One was a 16-year-old minor and the other was Oliver. He was charged with shoplifting, assault with a handgun, resisting arrest and assault and battery on a police officer.
Oliver denied the charges last September in district court. That case is still pending and a pre-trial hearing has been set for May 17.

The #1 Mistake Shooters Make When Training
I love taking shooting courses. In fact, when I'm not teaching my own courses, I try and attend other folks training as much as I can. The good news is, there are a lot of good instructors in this country so it's not tough to find a class near you.
However, if you choose to take one of these classes whether it's local or at a larger training school such as Gunsite or Front Sight, I encourage you not to make the mistake that I see the majority of shooters make.
So what is the mistake?
It's not training the way they regularly carry concealed on the street. In other words, when I'm carrying concealed I'm usually wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Unless I'm going to church or doing consulting, I try and avoid a suit at all costs. Therefore, when I go to a gun school I am dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.
What kills me is the folks I see who show up in tactical pants and other tactical gear who look like they're about to join Rambo on his next raid. Now, if by the odd chance they wear that gear on a regular basis, then by all means, train that way. But if I had to guess, I'd say they don't go grocery shopping decked out from head to toe in 5.11 gear.
However, the way a person dresses is just the beginning. When I attend a gun class I want to shoot well just as much as the next person does. But I always draw from concealment. After all, since that's how I always carry my gun, drawing from concealment is the proper muscle memory I want to develop.
I have a lot of friends who attend their firearms training wearing an outside the waistband holster. Why do they do this? Because they're quicker on the draw and feel they do better during the timed shooting drills. Yes, this may be true, but since they carry concealed on a regular basis, practicing with an outside the waistband holster obviously makes no sense.
Lastly, and probably the most ridiculous thing I see is the fellows who show up with huge guns that are clearly not their concealed carry guns. I realize it's fun to shoot all types of guns, but if you're going to spend a lot of money attending a pistol course, train with the gun you regularly carry. Take your non-carry guns to the shooting range and other places, but go to the schools with the gun you bet your life on.
As for me, the gun that comes with me to all the training I do is my Glock 19, because that's my concealed carry gun. I know you may be thinking this is a lot of common sense, but I'm willing to bet that at the next training you attend, the majority of folks will not be training as if it's "real life." I just hope you're not one of them, and that you force yourself to wear regular street clothes… to draw from concealment… and to bring your concealed carry gun with you.

Three Killed in Austrian House Fire
Three people were killed in a house fire in Traun, Austria on Dec. 26.
Crews found heavy fire in a single-family dwelling.
Immediately additional engines and one more ladder truck were assigned.
It took a few hours to extinguish the fire to be able to get into the house.
Unfortunately, three victims were found dead.
The reason for the fire might have been a lighted candle that they forgot to extinguish.
The Vol. Fire Dept. of Traun spent about 12 hours on the scene.

And while he was here and playing all that dude did was complain about this nagging injury or that nagging injury, it got real old. When you're the #1 pick and a physical beast, you gotta just man up.
All in all, I remember him missing 14 games (not to mention the games he left early) his final 2 years, a few subpar seasons counting his injury seasons, and a defensive liability if he couldn't make that loop move get to the QB fast enough.
I see a lot of Clowney in Mario. And I'll say it again, that's not necessarily a knock. Mario is a phenom, but I just don't want him in a Texans uniform again. The article about a few posts up was great too.
I was talking about clowney. You're comparing him to Mario for one subpar year. And yes that article was great.

Minnesota GOP Looks to Pass Fetal Pain Bill
It's getting hard to keep up with the litany of bills across the country that would seek to drastically limit abortion rights. The latest comes from Republicans in the Minnesota legislature, and, if passed, would be one of the most restrictive laws in the country.
From the Minnesota Independent:
The bill, SF649/HF936, makes it illegal to perform an abortion after 20 weeks, and, in anticipation of legal challenges to the law, it creates a defense fund for the state using taxpayer money and "any donations, gifts, or grants made to the account by private citizens or entities."
The bill, dubbed "The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," claims that there "is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain by 20 weeks after fertilization." It also states that there is a "compelling state interest in protecting the lives of unborn children from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates that they are capable of feeling pain."
It's the fifth bill that the state's Republicans have introduced this legislative session to restrict abortion rights, the Independent reports.
This type of "fetal pain" legislation isn't really new—Nebraska passed a similar bill last year, and state lawmakers in Iowa and five other states are attempting to do the same, as RH Reality Check reports. All are based on the argument that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks into a pregnancy—but that isn't actually supported by the science, which indicates that it's closer to the 27-week point in the development of the fetus. More broadly, though, the bills seek to substitute the opinion of politicians about when a fetus can feel pain for what a woman and her doctor believe is best in a particular case. The Des Moines Register has a heart-breaking story this week about how Nebraska's law forced one woman to give birth to a dramatically premature child that her doctor knew would not survive.
This is just the latest in a slew of anti-abortion measures around the country. Last month, Virginia passed a law that will regulate abortion clinics the same way as hospitals, which abortion rights advocates say will make it much harder to obtain first-trimester abortions. Georgia, Ohio, and Texas have also offered bills that would dramatically limit access to abortions. Iowa and Nebraska have put forward justifiable homicide bills that could potentially legalize the killing of abortion providers. And while South Dakota recently shelved a similar justifiable homicide measure, the state passed a bill last week that forces women to seek counseling at so-called "crisis pregnancy centers," which are generally run by anti-abortion groups, and triples the time women must wait before they can receive an abortion.

To provide the most accurate nationwide perspective of the extent of the gang problem, it was necessary to estimate:
To determine the estimated number of jurisdictions reporting gangs in small cities and rural counties, the percentage of agencies reporting gangs was multiplied by the total number of small cities and rural counties included in the group from which the sample was derived. The same method was used for large cities and suburban counties in order to incorporate nonrespondents.
Estimating the number of gangs and gang members for small cities and rural counties was a slightly more complex task. For these samples, the following steps were completed:
To produce the most accurate nationwide estimate, it was necessary to extrapolate for nonrespondents in large cities and suburban counties. If this had not been done, the result would have been a systematic underestimation of the extent of gang activity in these areas. In addition, any change in the proportion of agencies responding for large cities and suburban counties in future surveys would likely have resulted in a commensurate change in the number of gangs and gang members; this change could lead to a false conclusion that gang activity has increased or decreased.
To estimate the number of gangs and gang members for large cities and suburban counties, the average or mean number of gangs and gang members per jurisdiction was calculated. These estimates were controlled for population by stratification of respondent agencies into population groups of 50,000 and by calculation of a mean for each population group. To acquire the most accurate mean, the survey designers established a minimum number of agencies in each population group from which a mean could be derived. The minimum number was set at 40 to allow for the inclusion of a large number and wide range of agencies in each population group. Unfortunately, not all population groups included 40 or more agencies. Therefore, the population groups were expanded equally on the high and low ends until 40 or more agencies were included. Once this expansion was completed, a mean was calculated and that mean was matched with each nonresponding agency within the corresponding population group (see Appendix D).
As with gangs and gang members, estimating the number of homicides required extrapolation for both random samples and for nonrespondents in large cities and suburban counties. The number of agencies responding to the homicide questions and reporting homicides in the random samples was comparatively low. Consequently, extrapolations for the random samples would not have been reliable. Responses for large cities and suburban counties were analyzed because the entire universe of each group was included in the sample. Therefore, an estimated number of homicides was reported only for large cities and suburban counties. A nationwide estimate could not be calculated.
The estimated number of homicides that likely occurred in large cities and suburban counties during 1996 was obtained by multiplying the average number of homicides per jurisdiction by the estimated number of jurisdictions reporting gangs in 1996.
