Karma: Part 1
It's definition in the Classical sources and the problem of ignorance
Karma is a word that has sneaked itself into many of the modern western dictionaries. It has become a word of common usage and many people use the expression 'bad karma, good karma' when something negative or positive may happen to them. As everything in life in general we are of course pretty ignorant to the greater reality of things, but the word Karma is of a peculiar interest because one of its associated meanings has to do with how we engage with activities and what impact they have on our whole being.
But let it me known at the very outset that the writer of this article by no means have gained a full realization of the many subtle operations of Karma and is still suffering their pangs, blows and occasional elevation, but in those rare moments of clarity he feels inspired to share some of his own ruminations on the subject.
Because the subject of Karma is extremely vast, difficult to comprehend and by no means clear in its many definitions we will make an attempt to write three articles on the same topic with the three sub headings of
1. Karma - It's definition in the Classical sources and the problem of ignorance.
2. Karma - It's various manifestations, fluctuations and how it operates.
3. Karma - The active path to remove ignorance and create greater freedom from bondage.
The word Karma and it's many connotations has had a tremendous impact on most of the philosophies originating within the Indian peninsula it was first defined and articulated in the Vedas as prescribed action to be followed to gain certain results or simply prevent the influence of 'sin' (papa, that which covers clear seeing). Although all of the heterodox Indian philosophies (Buddhism, Jainism, Charvakas) all rejected the authenticity of the Veda, they still expanded further upon the notion of Karma and how it operates. In Jainism it is believed that Karma is manifest matter, cosmic dirt (pudgala) that pervades the entire universe in the form of subtle matter and layers itself on the top of man according to his activities. In Buddhism it is simply categorized as one of the five Niyama Dharmas (the causes of effect) and is considered the key component in the law of cause and effect. The Charvakas abolish the theory of Karma all together and encourages man to live, drink be merry and not worry about tomorrow. Here in this article we will focus primarily on the sources of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita (BG) and it is not within our scope to make too many comparisons with other schools of thought.
The early Vedas are hymns in praise of manifest Nature and the underlying operating forces within it. There are indeed many sacrifices and rituals like, praying for rain, controlling the natural elements, rites of passage, rites for the dead, rites for the diseased etc. but what they all have in common is the anticipation to control the unfolding of event for a peculiar benefit. Deliberate actions to be performed for a particular result.
The later portion of the Veda known as the Upanishads is a philosophical inquiry into the quintessential nature of reality. What is the essence of all that is, the external universe and the internal universe of man, how did it first manifest forth and what is the underlying factor common to both. The later portion of the Veda is therefore less concerned with how to perform actions in order to gain certain results, but rather tried to bring about a realization of the Highest Truth and embody a mystical union with That. But before we inquire into that let us now turn our attention to Karma, activity and how we may relate to it in our daily lives. We are all bound by activities, the work we do, the play we engage in, consciously or unconsciously some action is needed to even look after the bare preservation of our bodies. We may therefore ask:
What is work, what impels us to work and what impact does the work/activity that we do have on our being?
As long we live there is an instinctive need within every living being to look after their livelihood. This may be done in various ways, but the basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing is something every human being is in need of to have a functional life. To succeed in these endeavors we need to engage in activities. The work that people do is therefore normally driven by a cause. Creatures of this earth all have in common the longing for happiness/pleasure and the avoidance of suffering/distress. Ingrained in us all is therefore the pursuit of sukha (happiness) and the avoidance of dukha (misery). These two are the common driving force in most of our activities. Now what effect the various activities have on our being is indeed an interesting phenomenon. Why do certain people have an inclination to do certain things while other people will shun away from doing it? Are all the various talents among human beings given them by chance or is there some unseen causes bringing it forth in each individual? We may stretch this further and ask: are human beings born free or are they bound by unseen forces playing themselves out within each respective individual? The inevitable question that arises is hence; 'what are these forces, how do they operate within us, what impact do they have on our being, and how can we create more freedom or greater clarity from the impact they have on us general?
According to Indian philosophies, particularly those investigating into the spiritual nature of man, the word Karma has two meanings. It stems from the root Krn-karane and the basic translation means to act. According to laws of grammar the noun Karma means 'kriyate yat tat karma iti' 'the action which is done'. Hence every activity one engages in is called Karma. The other meaning has to do with what caused the activity to take place and what impact this had on the doer of the activity 'kaaryate anena yasmin iti karma'. Karma is therefore all the work that we do, but equally the unseen effect of all previous activity (karmas) being done that binds the doer into certain patterns. The first reference to this later definition is found in the Upanishads which is the quintessential of the Vedas inquiring into the reality of whatever exists. In short the Principal Upanishads all proclaim that the world as we perceive it is veiled by a greater reality that is the very cause of it. The veil constitutes manifest nature, all the elements and all the operating forces within it. The higher reality, being its source is naturally apart of it, but yet different to all its operating activities. The main purpose of the Upanishads is therefore to point to a greater hidden reality in the midst of all the activities taking place and reawaken man to his true identity and release him from the bonds of karma, the covering binding influences of activity. In the early Vedas this is done by blindly following the Nitya-karmas (eternal-duties) prescribed (more on this to follow in the 2nd article on Karma), but in the Upanishads the focus is to bring about a direct awakening through proper means of Knowledge, conveyed from the realized sages and seers of the Upanishadic tradition that supposedly had a direct experience of a Greater Reality normally perceived through our senses:
Who knows all, who observes all, to whom belongs all greatness on earth?
Hi is this self in the divine form of Brahman, having a secure footing in the sky.
Consisting of thought, controller of body and breaths; he has a secure footing in food, after having settled in the heart.
By perceiving him the wise see what becomes visible as the immortal
in the form of bliss.
When one sees him, both the high and the low;
The knot of ones heart is cut, all doubts are dispelled;
And his work comes to an end.
In that high golden container is Brahman, stainless and partless,
the brilliant light of lights!
This is what they know those who know the self.
There the sun does shine, nor the moon and the stars;
There lightening does not shine, of the common fire need we speak!
Him alone, as he shines do all things reflect;
This whole world radiates with his light.
Brahman alone extends to the east; Brahman to the west;
It alone, to the south, to the north, it alone extends above and below;
It is Brahman alone that extends over this whole universe,
Up to its widest extent.
(Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.7-11)
Here we can see how a realization of Brahman (that which pervades) may bring about a realization of That which one truly is and from a realization of that all Karmas, activity may come to an end. Now the inevitable question is how did this sticky glue called karma begin in the first place? Who set it forth, why does it continue to bind man in such rigid patterns? If an exit is provided through right knowledge from this world of transmigration what caused the very entry into this world of apparent suffering for the plurality of individual souls supposed to exist within it? The simple answer is that Nature acts and as long as the human soul is bound by nature, certain laws must operate. For every action there is a reaction and inevitable patterns must play themselves out until the final realization comes that one can never be fully separated from That which pervades everything everywhere and set this whole universe into existence.
One should recognize the illusionary power as primal matter, and the illusionist as the great Lord. This whole living world is thus pervaded by things that are part of him.
(Shvetashvatara Upanishad 4.10)
If this essence is immanent within everything that exists, the path to greater receptivity of that may naturally reveal itself through a refinement of the very operating patterns of Nature. This hidden source is beyond joys and suffering experienced through the senses. It is constant and the very receiver of all that is: 'desha kala samaya-anavacchina' 'tri-guna-atita' unbound by time, place and comparison and beyond the three gunas.
However as long as our consciousness is clouded by ignorance to this greater reality it will identify with the coverings of nature and be caught up in seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, the root of all karmic accumulations. The purpose of man is therefore to come to realize the distinction between the Real Knowledge and False perception.
Saunaka, a wealthy householder, once went to Angiras (a realized soul) in prescribed manner and asked: 'What is it, my lord, by knowing which a man comes to know this whole world?' This is what Angiras told him.
Two types of knowledge a man should learn - those who know Brahman tell us - the higher and the lower. The lower of the two consists of the Rigveda, Yajurveda, the Samaveda, the Atharvaveda, Phonetics, Rituals Science, Grammar, Etymology, Metrics, Astronomy; whereas the higher is that by which one grasps the imperishable.
What cannot be seen, what cannot be grasped,
Without color, without sight of hearing, without hands or feet;
What is eternal and all-pervading,
Extremely minute and present everywhere;
That is the immutable, which the wise fully perceive.
As a spider spins out threads, then draws them into itself;
A plant sprouts out from the earth;
As head and body hair grows from a living man;
So from the imperishable all things here spring.
(Mundaka Upanishad 1.3-7)
All the sciences that exist may give elaborate explanations of the nature of appearances, but unless they can grasp the imperishable they are still ignorant to the greater reality of things. Every science is bound by its own rules and definitions, but once they move outside of these, the actual definition of the science may cease, but never the perceiver of it. The purpose of the Upanishads is therefore to come to know the perceiver of Consciousness, which is unbound by any shape, name and form it may reflect. This is therefore the Higher Knowledge by which one may come to perceive Him by means of whom one perceives this whole world. But if you ever thought you might catch a glimpse of Him or be given a fixed definition of how He may be realized, please think again:
About this self (atman), one can only say, 'neti, neti' (it is not this, it is not that). He is ungraspable, for he cannot be grasped. He is undecaying, for he is not subject to decay. He has nothing sticking to him, for he does not stick to anything. He is not bound; yet he neither trembles in fear nor suffers injury.
'Look - by what means can one perceive the perceiver? There, I have given you the instruction, Maitreyi. That's all there is to immoratlity.'
(Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 4.5.15)
Everything that exists in name and form may said to be ignorance in relation to That Higher Reality, which is the Pure Subject, uncluttered, unbound and the mere perceiver of all names and forms. Since the perceiver is different to that which is being perceived the connection between the two and whatever definition we give to the subject or object can on a superior level only be ignorance until the highest reality is being perceived. To inquire further we must therefore accept that according to these teachings; Ignorance only appears to exist until a great reality is being perceived that will remove the ignorance all together. Like darkness only appears to exist due to absence of light, but once the light truly shines darkness cease to exist.
From the passages above we have seen how there is one undivided being pervading this entire universe as well as the inner core of man. According to the Upanishads the goal of man is to come to realize this being situated within oneself. But until that realization comes, man is bound by the cause and effect of Nature that operates as an external veil clouding the perception of this higher reality from within, not graspable by the sense organs, but yet the very perceiver of them. An attempt to understand the operations of Karma is therefore best utilized by actively becoming more aware of what intentions one brings to the activities one engages with. The goal of Karma Yoga is not to gain any particular fruits, achieve certain pleasures or avoid pain, but rather to awaken to the realization that there is a source of being totally unobstructed by any activity of the senses and the respective identification with them. When that realization comes Nature acts out its own cause, but the soul of man does not gravitate any new karmic influences set in motion by desire, greed, delusion, jealousy etc. that can only lead to further ignorance of that inner essence. So when these factors impelled by the pursuit of pleasure or avoidance of pain cease, the covering obstacles of the inner soul of man is neutralized and hence a greater receptivity to that which is the abiding source of all may occur. An experience of that is said to be incomparable to any pleasure gained from the senses, but yet all activity one engages with is the very key to create a greater awareness of that underlying source that is always present in everything that is, but rarely are we able to perceive it.
In conclusion we ask for pardon for any further ignorance we have brought to this subject. However we hope that the references and discussions given will become fruitful in encouraging the seeker to go and inquire further for himself/herself into the subject. Unseen forces do indeed influence our lives in various ways, but it serves little purpose to try to understand the greater picture unless we can become more aware of the smaller details of our own lives, perhaps then as we learn to embrace things more fully as they are can we also come to realize the limitless potential stored up within us all.

Reconstructing the Maya |
In 1910, George Byron Gordon, then-director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, asked his old friend Robert James Burkitt to help the Museum acquire and excavate some Maya sites in Guatemala. Three years and much badgering later, Burkitt agreed. He spent the next 25 years unearthing hundreds of artifacts throughout Guatemala's previously untapped highland backcountry. At the time, Burkitt and others preserved the works as best they could and shipped them to the Penn Museum, where the majority have remained in storage—until now. — Molly Petrilla C'06

Great location - minutes from Longwood Gardens & Kennett Square restaurants, easy drive to Chanticleer Gardens and Winterthur. Stay two nights to see all the gardens. Innkeepers are very helpful and knowledgeable about the area attractions & restaurant.
Although it's a somewhat older hotel with dated decor, I found my room to be very clean and neat.
There wasn't a dining option in the hotel, although there's a diner across the parking lot. The wifi was extremely poor, practically unusable.
Bathroom had mold/mildew, the wallpaper was pealing near the jacuzzi tub and there were cigarette ashes on the floor near the bed and it was a non-smoking room.
Hotel is well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and quite spacious. The hot breakfast goes beyond what many other hotels provide.
i liked the staff. they were very helpful. Hotel Employee at the front desk.... exceptional. everyone went above and beyond all of my expectations.
there was not one thing wrong
The staff was friendly and prompt. The room was big and already cooled down from the heat when we arrived. Everything was clean, we had plenty of towels and stuff. The bed was comfy. The pillows were terribly, but that's the same in any hotel. We were generally satisfied with the hotel and got the room for a good price.
There was a huge family reunion the same night as our stay and when we woke up there was puke all over the hallway including outside our door. Someone had covered it with towels, but when we left at 10 am, it still wasn't cleaned up.
Inexpensive and convenient
The freezer portion of the fridge didn't work. We didn't realize this until we packed to leave and items were melted. Also the electrical outlets on the desk weren't working properly.
The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean.
Absolutely no amenities. A 'window' air conditioner in the back of the closet. The room was so hot and dark. Very old bathroom, shower was not clean. A flat screen TV with a satellite box which required manual push buttons to change the channel.
I liked the breakfast.
The coffee cups leaked all over, the pool was 20 degrees and they say it's heated, the tv was small, far away from the bed, no microwave, no mini fridge, the bathtub kept plugging and you could not even take a decent shower, tub was a nightmare, no benchs
Lots of stores and restaurants in the area. Hotel was clean, staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were modern. Breakfast buffet was what you would expect at this level, decent.
Jacuzzi was broken and couldn't be fixed until the following day.
Pretty public spaces. Good location
Rooms not suited for three star. Bed uncomfortable. No blow dryer in room. Poor lighting. Loud heating system. No vending machine besides drinks. Not really a three star hotel.
Clean well appointed rooms. Good beds.
Difficult to locate.
I loved that the hotel was in it's own quaint village with little shops that was within walking distance. We went to the restaurant Brandywine Prime where we had an excellent dinner. The room had a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Everything was great!
The quiet and cleanliness as well as the good mattress and pillows which made for a restful night
Nothing I can think of. Perhaps a bit more imagination could be used in planning the breakfast selections.
clean, comfortable, & staff very good
Room was nice
tHe stay was an inconvenience because we were supposed the book at Quality Inn
The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good and the rooms were clean and quiet.
Super clean. Friendly and convenient. Very close to Longwood Gardens. Nice breakfast and breakfast room.
Rooms were spacious, well-designed, & had excellent lighting.
Breakfast during the week was fine (eggs), but on Sat., Sun., & Mon., they serve a terrible chipped beef & gravy on biscuits- inedible. That alone would prevent me from staying there on weekends.
Helpful staff, room and bathroom were very clean, good location close to the interstate, breakfast good choices, quiet location.
Ground floor rooms
Homeless people around the hotel; cigarette burns on the bed sheets; the bed sheets and pillows have 'Property of Memorial Hospital, Martinsville, VA'; room was supposed to be non-smoking but the room wreaked of smoke; low flow showers
Absolutely nothing. The picture on the website was not an accurate indication of the accommodations. We did not stay the night, and checked into another hotel.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.

SHAMOKIN - VNA Health System, out of its Shamokin office, recently held a blanket and supply campaign to distribute to homebound patients in New York City affected by Superstorm Sandy.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the people in New York and New Jersey who are suffering and struggling with the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy," said Joseph L. Scopelliti, Jr., president/CEO of VNA Health System. "We see the physical damage and emotional toll as reported in the news, and recognize the reality is far worse than can be adequately portrayed. It is for this reason that VNA Health System decided to conduct a blanket and supply campaign for those homebound patients serviced by the Visiting Nurse Service of New York."
In response to VNA Health System's support, Mary Ann Christopher, president/CEO of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York said, "Your outstretched hand across state geographies reminds me of how powerful the collective missions of VNAs are. Please extend my gratitude to your staff and community. We already feel sustained by the warmth of your collegiality."

31 year old woman | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 27-35 within 50 miles
I am originally from Charlotte, NC and have lived in San Francisco for school (6 yrs). I love to hike, run, go to yoga frequently, cook, am getting better at photography,like dogs, come from a big family ( I am a twin and one of 5), and am looking for something similar in another person. I'm the kind of person that can wake up early and go to the farmers market, hiking, yoga or running or can also sleep a little too late on Sundays and wake up with a good coffee and newspaper. That being said, I love going out during the weekends to great dinners, love wine, and have been known to drag friends to go out for a big night with me. Work is important to me, and I would like to meet someone who is supportive of my career. I consider myself middle of the road politically and am more spiritual than religious, although am not opposed to finding a church in the city. I hope to meet a person that wants to have a good time, but also wants to volunteer, travel, ski, try a yoga class, and challenge me.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei described the ceremonies connected with the fire festival on the last Wednesday Eve of the Iranian year "void of religious roots and cause of great harm and corruption."
Ali Khamenei vs. Chaharshanbeh Souri
The religious evaluation of Iran's Supreme Leader was published on his official site and goes on to add that Iranians must "avoid" celebrating this event. This fire festival, which is called Chaharshanbeh Souri, is an ancient Iranian pagan festival which involves the building of bonfires and symbolic gestures and chants that summon the fire to burn all sickness and lend its energy to a healthy new year. A number of Shiite clerics have described the event "superstitious" and called for its dismantlement. IRNA reports that another senior Shiite Cleric Ayatollah Sobhani has also spoken against the events of the last Wednesday Eve of the year and maintained that it is "a superstitious event and its customs are contrary to Islam and logic." He says: "The customs connected with the last Wednesday Eve of the year as it has become customary in Iran are backward and the harms are evident to all." Hashem Hoseini Boshehri,a member of Qom Seminary Teachers, has also announced that the events of last Wednesday Eve of the year "have no logical or religious basis." Iranian opposition forces have announced that they will take part in the events of the last Wednesday Eve of the year, which falls on March 16, and use it as an opportunity to reaffirm their protests against the current government which they claim has come to power through election fraud last June. These protests have continued in the past nine months and during this time, protesters have used specific dates of national significance in the Iranian calendar to take to the streets and express their demands. Iranian police force has warned the public that anyone arrested during these events would not be released until after the Norouz holidays. Opposition leader, MirHosein Mousavi has urged protesters not to use this day to stage protests to avoid hardliners from the turning the events into a violent confrontation.

Pershing Square Turns up Heat on Target — Again
May 4, 2009
-- Home Textiles Today,Activist investor William Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management is escalating its effort to seat a slate of officers on Target's board of directors, arguing Target's board lacks appropriate experience in retail, credit cards and real estate.
The firm recently sent a letter to Target's shareholders staking out its position and announced a town hall meeting on May 11 at the AXA Equitable Auditorium in New York at which the private equity firm will present its nominees. The letter invites Target shareholders to attend in person or follow the program on a webcast at www.TGTtownhall.com.
"The nominees we have proposed bring extensive expertise in food retailing, credit cards, real estate, shareholder value and corporate governance," the letter stated.
At the heart of the struggle is the Target board's rejection of a Pershing plan to spin off the retailer's real estate into a separate company. Pershing Square owns 7.8% of the company — approximately $1 billion of common stock and roughly $280 million in stock options.
"By virtue of our common stock ownership alone, Pershing Square is Target's fourth largest shareholder. When our stock options are included, we rank as Target's third largest investor," the letter stated. "With more than a $1.25 billion investment in Target, we believe that it is self-evident that Pershing Square has a greater economic motivation to create long-term shareholder value than the incumbent directors."
The letter also offers head-to-head comparisons between its prospective board members and Target's. Pershing Square's nominees include:
Ackman, founder of Pershing Square and a private equity investor;
Jim Donald, former ceo of Starbucks and Pathmark, whose background includes Wal-Mart's SuperCenter business;
Richard Vague, a credit card operating executive and former ceo and co-founder of First USA, the largest VISA credit card issuer before it was sold to Bank One (now JPMorgan Chase);
Michael Ashner, a real estate executive who manages over 20 million square feet of commercial real estate and has acquired more than $12 billion of real estate in 45 states, including apartment units, hotels and office, retail and industrial space;
Ron Gilson, an expert in the field of corporate governance and currently Professor of Law and Business at both Stanford Law School and Columbia University School of Law.
The four directors to whom Pershing's five nominees are compared in the letter include:
Mary Dillon, evp and global chief marketing officer for McDonald's;
Richard Kovacevich, chairman of Wells Fargo & Company;
Solomon Trujillo, ceo and a director of Telestra Corporation Limited, an Australian communications company;
George Tamke, partner at leveraged buyout firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.
Pershing Square has filed a proxy statement on the matter and is mailing it to Target shareholders along with a gold proxy card, which they are being encouraged to bring to Target's annual meeting on May 28.

Here's a neat kitchen gadget — a toaster that "prints out" toast. It allows you to feed multiple slices at once from the feeder at top, and spits out finished products from the bottom. It's a concept by Othmar Muehlebach, and it won second place at a design contest in Switzerland last month.
Toaster looks and acts like a printer
34 Responses to "Toaster looks and acts like a printer"
also: more printy-toast! (courtesy old post from a design blog i contributed to until we all got lazy). http://whataboutdesign.blogspot.com/2007/06/toast-of-icff.html
If I've run out of bread can I toast crumbs? Is there a toaster strudel setting in the driver software, or some generic settings like sticky, stale or glossy?
You can only use special butter and it costs $4,000 a pound.
"The toaster has detected you are out of bread. Please insert a new slice and hit resume."
I remember discussing this invention with a friend a while ago. The picture is misleading, notice the oddly perfect shaped/sliced bread. Realistically, bread from US grocers is thicker (various thicknesses) and much shapelier around the crust. We concluded that auto loading toasters would be too prone to jamming. We should have thought of making bread the size and shape of copy paper. Happy Holidays.
Still no driver for Vista.
So does this differentiate between American bread and Australian Bread? You know – they're different sizes (A4 vs 11×17)?
Imagine the crumbs spraying around when the toast drops and lands… I'm practical like that ;)
The trick is to get it to actually act like a printer, by printing/burning images and text into the bread. I have arbitrarily decided to be unimpressed until it can print a word document. (Because that would be a useful thing to do.)
"We concluded that auto loading toasters would be too prone to jamming."
Ahhh, Professor Moriarty,
You should be investigating this wonderful thing:
If it really was like a printer, it would soon run out of heat, and you would have to replace the heat cartridge, and it would turn out to be very expensive …
Hmm… surprisingly uneaven toasting for a moving toast type toaster. Makes me suspect that it's not real.
if you want to write on your toast, you could go for this:
http://www.yankodesign.com/2007/09/06/honey-i-left-it-on-the-toast/ -
It's a concept that should stay a concept. Who needs cold bread that's got a brown stain on each side? Nobody who wants toast.
It looks awesome… but if it actually "acts like a printer", then I imagine that any time I really needed a piece of toast, it would come at the expense of 45 minutes of troubleshooting nebulous/unspecified errors, and several ruined pieces of bread.
It probably won't butter up, but I bet it'll jam up!
Mind you, when you're having problems, you can always hold down the right buttons when you turn it on, so you can print out a piece of test toast!
Would be much more cool if it could print out designs on the toast by varying the heat level as the toast went through the "printer"
Needs butter cartridge.
I want one that will toast text that I want on the bread.
I'd have it put my GCal Reminders on my breakfast.
The friction from each slice sitting against each other will not allow them to slide down into the toaster (Bread is not smooth like sheets of paper. Also – crumbs issue. Also – my toaster makes up to 4 slices at a time.
I could go on . . . -
Except only the back end of the toast will still be warm when it is finished. The first end out will already be cold!Unless it is super fast ;)
Also, looks a bit like the toasters i saw in a youth hostel once.
It's great until you run out of toner, and it's a real improvement over the old tractor-feed model.
I see it has brightness and contrast controls. Does it do duplex printing? Do you need a separate cartridge for bagels?
– SayBlade -
I like that it looks like a googly-eyed dude wearing a hat. But I'm a weird guy. And that would mean the toast is coming out of his neck, which is a little gross.
Just the thing to make some miraculous Jesus image toast.
If it's anything like printers I've dealt with, you'll be out of butter every time you go to use it, and you'll need to have several slices loaded before it'll realize there are any there. Then it'll suck in two slices at once, rip them up, and if you're lucky the pieces might come out the other side.
If the bottom tray had a heating element in it and perhaps some sides this would be very handy when cooking food for multiple people that require toast (i.e. a delicious cooked breakfast).
You'd just load up the number of pieces of bread and leave it rather than keep loading more toast while you're frantically trying to make sure those sautéed mushrooms don't burn.
Here's Electrolux's prototype from last year..
I love it, but according to the product page it doesn't support PCL6 or crumpets.
Oh wait.. this one doesn't print images or text. It's the loading mechanism that's new.
…And don't get me started on "Jam"

Top Ten New Zealand Classic Adventures
The Milford and Routeburn, along with the Heaphy and the Abel Tasman Coast Track, are the best known and most frequented walking tracks on the South Island. They are so popular that the number of trampers must be restricted. With hut reservations being booked months in advance, the cost of using these famous trails is rising.
Walkers looking for a quiet wilderness experience in peak walking seasons might want to look to the he Rees-Dart Track, a 70-kilometer (44-mile) tramp in the dramatic Queenstown area that crosses alpine saddles, meets the headwater of the Rees River, explores native bush, and straddles wild rivers. A side trip to the Cascade Saddle to view the Dart Glacier is also possible. Huts are uncrowded, camping places are secluded, and most of the track is well marked.

I Live Yet Do Not Live in Me
by John of the CrossEnglish version by Willis Barnstone
Original Language Spanish
I live yet do not live in me,
am waiting as my life goes by,
and die because I do not die.
No longer do I live in me,
and without God I cannot live;
to him or me I cannot give
my self, so what can living be?
A thousand deaths my agony
waiting as my life goes by,
dying because I do not die.
This life I live alone I view
as robbery of life, and so
it is a constant death -- with no
way out until I live with you.
God, hear me, what I say is true:
I do not want this life of mine,
and die because I do not die.
Being so removed from you I say
what kind of life can I have here
but death so ugly and severe
and worse than any form of pain?
I pity me -- and yet my fate
is that I must keep up this lie,
and die because I do not die.
The fish taken out of the sea
is not without a consolation:
his dying is of brief duration
and ultimately brings relief.
Yet what convulsive death can be
as bad as my pathetic life?
The more I live the more I die.
When I begin to feel relief
on seeing you in the sacrament,
I sink in deeper discontent,
deprived of your sweet company.
Now everything compels my grief:
I want -- yet can't -- see you nearby,
and die because I do not die.
Although I find my pleasure, Sir,
in hope of someday seeing you,
I see that I can lose you too,
which makes my pain doubly severe,
and so I live in darkest fear,
and hope, wait as life goes by,
dying because I do not die.
Deliver me from death, my God,
and give me life; now you have wound
a rope about me; harshly bound
I ask you to release the cord.
See how I die to see you, Lord,
and I am shattered where I lie,
dying because I do not die.
My death will trigger tears in me,
and I shall mourn my life: a day
annihilated by the way
I fail and sin relentlessly.
O Father God, when will it be
that I can say without a lie:
I live because I do not die?

Irreverant chat and daily training
thank you
Tigger pinata painting for Bobbis this afternoon
Kid B is 11 tomorrow
Welcome home, flr.
And as I won't be logging on tomorrow:
Bobbis is painting what????
I knew it was her birthday, but 11?????
dog, don't they grow?
picked up car from car doctor
not toooooo expensive for mot
Good news yeo :0)
And well done to flr and Bobs for going down together, although I suspect they get a lot of practice.
dan dan is pracising his fingering tonight
hey all
popping in again - its the same story every year i do race for life and get all inspired and get excited about what i could do if I trained but dont take it anywhere... this year i threw a dodgy back into the equation but thats a problem cos i been so lazy.
have got the r@@/walk schedule and will do that from monday. I miss exercise and am sure my lazyness is traumatising my back oh and my crappy desk job...
Hope all is well in plodland!
love y'all
good news all round then
Hiya Shaz
Nice to see you again! When is your race??
hey yeo / sam
how are you guys??
well i hope - i have mot in september - am dreading it already spent couple of hundred on my baby still have three new tyres to get - car isgreat but it makes me lazy too..
what you up to sam?
it was last sunday - holyrood park - nearly saw the queen - well at least her empty car
41 mins - 4 mins slower than last year with no training and a dodgy back...
Tonight, just chilling in the cool air, listening to dan dan playing Auld Lang Syne on his guitar.
In general, I am getting back into r*nning after nearly 2 years off with a back injury (take care of yours, don't train too hard or you'll end up f*cked like me!!) and loving every minute.
hey Shaz - good to see you
never mind the time - it's the getting out there that's important
I'm currently having my annual restart too - tho' without the incentive of a R4L of course
I've already tentatively committed to join some folks on another thread for a 10k on New Year's Eve and maybe Flr, Bobs and others for Stratford mara next year
Exactly, Yeo
My times are slower now since my back problems. I may or may not get them down (my TIMES for all those dirty minded plodders out there ) but I'm just glad to be r*nning again. It would be nice if it didn't hurt so much though
good for you, yeo
i want to get a good pair of shoes - osteopath says its all muscular so exercise should help - good shoes should help.. i do love ly ascis tho
auld lang syne - its only july ( although how the heck did it get to july???) thats a january song - you still in glasgow??
nah she's darn sarf
Good shoes are so important. Sweatshop or Achilles Heel in Glasgow are fab for shoes!!
No longer in Glasgow, no longer in Scotland. Living in Ingerland now.

We report here the derivation of two new human embryonic stem cell lines, Man-1 and Man-2, and their full characterization as novel pluripotent stem cell lines. Man-1 was derived from an embryo surplus to requirement from routine IVF, while Man-2 was obtained from an oocyte classified as failed to fertilise and subsequently chemically activated. We report the characterisation of pluripotency and the differentiation potential of these lines. Work is in progress to establish novel methods of stem cell derivation and culture, which will avoid the use of xenobiotics and be relevant to clinical production of human embryonic stem cell lines. Both newly derived human embryonic stem cell lines will be available for the research community from the UK Stem Cell Bank (http://www.ukstemcellbank.org.uk).

What could the leaders of the International Monetary Fund and the European Union have had in mind when they agreed to lend Greece more than $100 billion in exchange for promises to restore stability? After initial relief, markets soon recognized that the program was not sufficient and not likely to be maintained.
When countries joined the common European currency, they gave up the right to use monetary policy to inflate or devalue. That left wage reduction and fiscal restraint as the only recourse in a crisis. With Greece's money wages and government debt too high, the IMF-EU relief effort does not add any new options. Instead it delays default by offering yet more debt as a solution to too much debt, and it gives the Greek government more time to do what it has been unable to do–lower public-sector wages by about 20% and reduce the budget deficit by 10% of GDP.
This only prolongs uncertainty and offers debt-holders a promise by the Greek government that will be hard to honor. No wonder markets are skeptical.
What would have worked? Much of Greece's industry and commerce, including much of the tourist industry, is owned by the state. It should be sold with the proceeds used to reduce public debt. That would make the remainder of the debt more sustainable and transfer workers to the private sector where competitive pressures for lower wages and increased productivity would more closely align employment costs and reality. If the socialist government returned more of the economy to the private sector, Greece would have a better chance of economic recovery.
Much of the Greek economy not owned by the state is "underground," in the so-called informal sector, where wages and incomes adjust quickly to the market. Greece also should offer an amnesty for unpaid back taxes to those who join the legal sector.
If after selling assets the remaining debt is still unsustainable, Greece will have to default (it will be called restructuring, but it is nonetheless default). To lessen the pain from losses borne by Greek and foreign lenders following default, the country should commit to fiscal policies monitored by the European Union. But it should reject the IMF-EU loan. More debt, even subsidized debt, is not the right answer.
The main benefit to Europe of the IMF-EU program is that the Spanish government has agreed to additional reductions in current and future spending. This was a difficult and unpopular political decision given the very high level of unemployment in Spain. A Spanish default would force France and Germany to choose either massive help to Spain or bailing out the losses on Spanish debt at German and French banks. German banks hold $240 billion of Spanish debt but only $43 billion of Greek debt.
Keynesians who think reducing public spending during a recession is a disastrous error should recall that they warned British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1981 that Britain would never recover if she continued with her tight fiscal and monetary policy during Britain's deep recession. Mrs. Thatcher declined to take their advice. Expectations about Britain's future changed for the better, and a long, productive recovery began soon after.
Greece's government should take heart from her example. The new government in Britain might remember this as well. And so might the Keynesians in the Obama administration.

Nimmo, W., Patsias, A.A. and Hall, W.J. (2005) Characterization of a process for the in-furnace reduction of NOx, SO2, and HCl by carboxylic salts of calcium. Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 44 (12). pp. 4484-4494. ISSN 0888-5885

Calcium magnesium acetate has been assessed as an agent for the reduction of NOx, SO2, and HCl, at the pilot scale, in a down-fired combustor operating at 80 kWth. In addition to this, the chemical and physical processes that occur during heating have been investigated. Benchmarking of calcium magnesium acetate with a suite of five other carboxylic salts (calcium magnesium acetate, calcium propionate, calcium acetate, calcium benzoate, magnesium acetate, and calcium formate) has been performed. NOx reduction involves the volatile organic content of the carboxylic salt being released at temperatures of >1000 °C, where the reaction of CHi radicals with NO under fuel-rich conditions can result in some of the NO forming N2 in a "reburning" process. Thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared (TG-FTIR) studies identified the nature of the decomposition products from the low- and high-temperature decompositions. In addition, the rate of weight losses were studied to investigate the influence of the organic decomposition on NOx reduction by reburning. In-furnace reductions of SO2 and HCl are aided by the highly porous, particulate residue, which results from the in situ drying, pyrolysis, and calcination processes. Simultaneous reduction of all three pollutants was obtained, and a synergy between SO2 and HCl capture was identified. A mechanism for this inter-relationship has been proposed. Sorbent particle characterization has been performed by collecting the calcined powder from a spray pyrolysis reactor and compared with those produced from a suite of pure carboxylic salts. Physical properties (including porosity, surface area, and decomposition behavior) have been discussed, relative to reductions in NOx and acid gas emissions.

Roy inherited the rum shop from his dead uncle. His uncle has no family; he lived alone in the back of his rum shop. Just before he died, Roy was informed of a distant uncle living on eastern side of the island. Roy, then in late twenties has no experience of running a business or for that matter of experience in doing anything except liming. He arrived at Cummuto, a small sleepy village on Eastern side of the island. May be a twenty miles drive easterly from Cummuto, the road would end up in a freshwater swamp known for shell fish. Always wearing sleeveless white undershirt and flimsy boxer shorts, Roy walked barefooted inside and outside the shop. His skimpy clothes exposed his pale skin and thin limbs. He was never in a hurry. He spoke and moved slowly, everything he did was in slow motion.

We live in a world seemingly dedicated to questions of fact and finance. What should I invest in? What school district is the house in? But the fundamental questions of our lives are actually questions of value: What makes life worth living? Are there values that transcend cultural differences? Is all value subjective?
If you've ever felt the tug of such questions - or if you just want to fine-tune your ability to see how deeper questions of ethics and values apply to the choices that make up our lives - these 24 lectures bring to life the insights of thinkers and artists who have grappled with these questions for thousands of years.
Socrates said, "The examined life is not worth living." To examine these questions, Professor Grim casts a wide net, drawing from history, theoretical economics, game theory, theoretical biology, and sociobiology - with a few forays into physics, anthropology, and psychology.
But it isn't only scientists and historians who ask us to consider our values. Writers as varied as Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ursula Le Guin, Mark Twain, Anne Rice, and Jorge Luis Borges have also delved into the meaning of life and the values we live by.
In exploring the course's varied sources, Professor Grim takes great care to introduce each concept carefully so that each new concept builds on the last. His presentation - even of the most nuanced material - is consistently clear, even to those with no background in philosophy.

Excellent speaker, really interesting material. Addresses various means of attempting to determine what is right and good that have emerged throughout the centuries and their implications with regard to the pursuit of meaning, justice and happiness. Worth listening to more than once!

Day 3 - Noccundra - Birdsville
This was the start of the ride proper for me, until now, most of what we had been doing was transport
and while we had a fairly long run on bitumen today
to get through the oilfields, we would be doing the Walker's Crossing Track and starting to enter smaller Deserts, like the "Strzelecki" and "Sturt Stony Desert".
Never having ridden these parts of Australia it was all new and much anticipated, the ride through the oilfields shows the importance of Oil and Gas, with smaller fields being beavered away at.
Most of the road from Noccundra to Innaminka is easy, with the vast openness that is pervasive through central Aus, agoraphobics beware. With my photography skills so lacking, it incredibly so difficult to capture the feeling of seeing so much open. It has it's own unique beauty that is lost on some but to me is breathtaking.
There is only a small section of sand to keep your mind focused, taken at speed it presents no problems.
Crossing Coopers Ck (some history associated with Bourke & Wills, early famous Australian explorers following this creek up, and dying on it's banks) saw a considerable amount of water still within its banks from the floods earlier in the year in far northern Queensland, the massively long flows from FNQ lending credence to early settlement theories of an inland sea.
Just before Innamincka sees the grave of Robert Bourke, a thoughtful moment is spent pondering the difficulties faced by these pioneers and a continual respect for the abilities of the Aboriginal Australians to live off the land and survive its seemingly harsh environment.
A quick stop at Innamincka sees us refuel and purchase a Desert Pass from the SA Parks and Wildlife service. Obviously designed by a bureaucrat, the folder is so large it's virtually impossible trying to carry it on a motorbike. I removed the parks pass, a couple maps and "*long grassed" the rest, Steve "pissed and moaned" about the "size of it" but managed to sequester it among the rest of his gear. He made a mental note to send them a terse email when he returned, you followed up with that Steve ?
Leaving Innamincka after a quick check the Walkers Crossing Track was open "yeah mate, a bit of sand but u'll be right" assured us it was okay, blasting past Wills Grave, I felt we had somehow shown this early explorer a disservice by not paying him the respect he deserved.
We shortly entered the Strezleki Desert, where upon the big kid in Steve had to go play
What's that speck on the photo ?
Why it's some dirty dirtbiker !
We has timed the crossing well. 4 weeks ago had seen wide spread rain fall through the desert areas, and the wildflowers were still out, acres of them, truly beautiful. I was definitely more enamoured of them then Steve.
Let the photo's speak for themselves
The "Walkers Crossing Track" is recommend for all bikes,
it has some sand but winds it's way through the Strezeleyki and Sturt Stony Deserts and makes for a much more interesting ride then sticking to the main roads and Birdsville Track, a misnomer for what has become a dirt highway.
You want to know why it's called the Sturt Stony Desert ?
Now you know
Back onto the "highway" that is the Birdsville Track saw a short run up and into Birdsville
We got in at a reasonable hour, the town had started to comae alive in preperation for the famous outback Birsdville Races that were to be run next week, horses and I never got along, and gamabling seem's a nonsense to me, so I had no real interest other then in the kerfuffle (now there is a word you don't hear much these days !) it generated each year.
Steve changed the oil in his bike, we did some minor repairs and maintenance, fuelled up, attached the fuel bottles to the bikes and then decided on a meal at the Pub, where Steve befriended some local who suggested a close spot to camp on the banks of a local creek.
The next day was to see us attacking the Simpson Desert proper.
* a coloquial North Qld term used to describe throwing something useless into the long grass. Hopefully in an environmentally concious way of course !

Latest Gallery : TFC 0-1 Houston
This was a typical end of season outing for TFC. Very reminiscent of what we have become used to over the last seven seasons. Its October, TFC are going through the motions, and the fans have already switched off mentally ….. but wait, someone tell the players we are (or perhaps were) still in the playoff hunt for once! A crappy night, a crappy performance and a crappy referee … it was all "so TFC!!!"
