3 Keys to Activating Your Life Purpose
Dr. Jean Houston on how to live a meaningful life
As I travel around the globe speaking and training, I have consistently found that most people ask me the same question: "How do I discover my purpose in life?" In the past, who you became was determined by your family and circumstances. You didn't have much choice. But now there is an open moment in history where you have the chance to tap into your purpose.
Millions of people right now are experiencing a yearning and desire to awaken to their unique gifts and offer them in service to the world — while living a life of joy and fulfillment. It's a surging of the human spirit, a virtual global awakening, at a scale that no one has ever seen before. Simply put, people are longing to finally feel fully alive and to fulfill their unique purpose in life.
So then why is living a life of meaning and purpose so difficult? It is because our current social systems have not been set up to prepare us to live a life of true purpose. That's because today's culture exists not to nurture our highest aspirations, but to ensure our basic survival.
Our educational system is designed to create good workers who will slot into jobs and careers later in life — not to empower fiery, creative people who are forging the path ahead together. Our social contracts exist to perpetuate the status quo — not to encourage our highest potentials to blossom. Is it any wonder why so many people's best attempts to evolve themselves and our culture fall short of the goal? We simply haven't been trained in how to bring the possible future into the present.
It's not that they don't have the talent or interest to live purposeful, meaningful lives. The issue is far simpler. People struggle to activate their "purpose code" because they haven't woken up to — or are only partially awake to — our situation as a human race. Most people hold on to old, limiting beliefs of themselves and our human story. Overwhelmed by all the changes in the world around them, most people live their lives within a "small story," and therefore confine themselves to a "small self." That's why so many people feel that they don't have a purpose, or that they aren't able to live the life they were born to live.
Three keys to empowering new beliefs
The First Key to activating your life's purpose is to accept new beliefs about yourself and about your role in the Great Story of where humanity is headed.
Living a great life requires that you understand the challenges and opportunities of our moment in history. To understand this for myself, I've gathered information from my work in more than 100 countries and 40 different cultures and what I've discovered has served as a sure guide on my path. Specifically, I have found five great shifts in our understanding of the story of our time that are affecting everything we do today. I believe that awakening to the power of these shifts will help you cultivate your sense of compassion and of the infinite possibilities of this moment.
The five shifts are:
- Our understanding of who and what we are and what we need to become in order to be able to deal with the complexity of our time is evolving.
- Human societies are in the process of re-patterning. Social constructs are dissolving and whole new stories are trying to emerge, such as the rise of women to a full partnership with men across the globe, and many others.
- How we conduct business and governance is shifting in the midst of vast ecological and financial changes. This is perhaps the most important social event of the last five thousand years, because these issues impact almost everything in our lives.
- The rise and fusion of different cultures — we are swiftly moving towards a planetary civilization that accentuates the uniqueness of each culture while blending them together. Think of the great fusions of food and of music and of beliefs.
- Whole new orders of spirituality are emerging that are not about religion. The new cosmologies are giving us a view of ourselves that we never had before. For the first time ever, we find that we don't just live in the universe, but that the universe lives in us.
This journey begins by letting go of old beliefs and patterns to make room for the new beliefs and capacities that will empower you to awaken to and live your higher purpose. That's the first key.
The Second Key allows you to discover and realize the vast field of inner intelligences — using multiple means of knowing and being in order to gain insight into life at a level to which most people rarely have access. These skills are to be found on four levels of your human capacity: sensory–physical, psychological–emotional, mythic–symbolic, and unitive–spiritual. As you learn how to utilize the extraordinary capacities to be found at each of these levels you literally move into new ways of being. For example, you will learn how to play with time in such a way as to take five minutes and experience it internally as hours — "hours" you can use to develop a skill or move a project forward.
You will learn to access "inner experts," willing helpers or personas who will help you navigate the complexity of life with elegance and confidence.
The Third Key gives you the means to break free from unconscious, habitual ways of reacting to life that were born thousands of years ago, and embrace higher ways of being for a new era. You will discover ways to move through life with ebullience in your bones and an appetite for celebration — seeing everything as an expression of the Creator. You will move through life, motivated not by guilt or obligation, but by gratitude and an abiding zest for doing the things that are called forth by living out of your higher purpose.

Sorry for not setting the subject correctly. Fixed. We've both said that it doesn't. At issue is whether it should. I would like it to, but I'm not sure it's possible. A substitution based on a Unicode property match. I agree that it is. substr, length and reverse are not, though. In reply to Re^8: Repurposing reverse

Anything that I can do with my graphite?
Hello, everyone.
I have this stash of graphite powder from when I was younger and was into forensics and stuff. I mercilessly raked out the entrails of many pencils which met their imminent doom at the end of an unused staple. Today I carry the priceless memorabilia in a small mechanical pencil lead container, while it waits for it's chance to break free and return the long-suffered pain and agony in which it endured before my ruthless rampage for fingerprint powder! Anyways, I was wondering if there was any electronic application for graphite where I could improve the quality of a component or tweak the performance of a circuit. I have no clue about the physical properties of graphite, so I am wondering if it could be used for inductors in some way. could it be rubbed on to an inductor core and have some type of effect? It makes things look shiny when rubbed on, so maybe that could be utilized. Or maybe it could be used in a speaker, maybe, between the coil and the magnet to reduce friction or soften the sound. I do know that this powder is very soft, so I'm thinking that it could be used as some sort of solid lubricant, maybe to help connectors slide together more easily, but graphite is resistive, so I don't think that that would work very well. Any ideas? -keantoken |

I'm sure I read of graphite powder being used to coat mylar to make ESL panels. You might want to dig around in the ESL forum. Other than that, I can only think it would be useful for mechanical lubrication, but nowhere where its conductive properties would interfere with operation.

Isn't the stuff conductive? I think you should use some caution as to where you apply it. How about setting up a neighbourhood locksmithing biz, servicing seized locks? bulgin |

Most pencil lead consists of a mixture of clay and graphite. The softer the lead, the more graphite there is in the mix.
Yes, you can use graphite to coat diaphragms for ESLs, but it tends to make a low resistance coating which is not well suited for drivers that are to reproduce low frequencies. These days a spray called Licron is easier to apply and provides better results. Graphite is available as a lock lubricant at any hardware store or WalMart. For about $2 you can get pure graphite in a much finer powder than you can ever hope to produce from pencils... I_F |

I don't think I'll start a locksmithing thing, because too many people can just o to walmart and buy their own lubricant stuff. I don't like those packages that you get for the graphite at walmart, though. One small slip and POOF! Your covered with graphite and there's nothing left in the bottle! I'll have to remember that, though, 'cause if I ever want any fingerprint powder, I know where to go! I'm sure I'll find a use for it. I would think that it's too soft to go in my Xmod's (build-your-own remote racecar from radioshack) bearings, it would just let the bearings grind themselves to bits. Maybe I'll make a van de graph generator and see if I can make them float! Wouldn't that be cool...
Any word on the magnetic properties of graphite? -keantoken |

Bathroom Monologue: The Only Thing Worse Is the Cure
41 comments:
Aberrant indeed. Loads of nice details in this one. I liked how the Young Master prodded the servant's liver to check on it, although I have a bad feeling he has a future use for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd do those people whose illnesses have been cured stay that way, or do they cycle from health to illness and back again? And I would love to hear what happens in the insane asylum...
ReplyDeletethe curative powers of malignity - nice! I did like the image of the wet nurses being used up & suffering anemia from suckling
marc nashThe high shall be brought low, and the least among ye elevated to the seat of honor. The first shall be last, and the last made first. I don't recall anything about the well being made ill, but sight being restored to the blind certainly fits.
Interesting kid you got there, John.I was also wondering whether, upon being made healthy, the (formerly) afflicted become afflicted anew. And what's he going to be when he grows up?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this.
I would have liked to know more about the negative aspects, surely the protagonist would have worried more about stealing health from others?RepliesWhere into the piece would you have liked him to dwell more on the YM's negative effects? Or would you rather than in a sequel?
DeleteHmmm... I did not get notification of this reply :(
After he confirms his suspicions with the healed wet nurse would have been space for at least a quick musing?
Otherwise seeing the effects at the asylum on the doctors and nurses may cause some conflict in a sequel...
I haven't read your work for a while, but this seems to have a different voice than your usual. I imagine the action taking place in a castle or some dusty citadel. A few of your words threw me and took me out of the 'feel' of the story: 'stroller', and 'felony' for example. They didn't seem to fit with the language elsewhere, but this could be your aim: to bring the modern in to the archaic?
ReplyDeleteOh yes John, please do show us what happens in the insane asylum. I love that twist ending, how it seems the Young Master will be committed only to find out in the next breath that he'll be there to help. Great imagery here too.
I wonder if the Young Master could visit Wall Street? Heehee :)A very interesting tale. I loved the formal language and the undertone of illness/things not being right. It struck me as lovecraftian in some ways, which I hope you will take as a compliment :)
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me with the breadth of your imagination. The very idea that he could cause illness where there is none, yet cure it where it is, would make him an extraordinary faith healer!
ReplyDeleteReally interesting stuff! I had the same thought as Larry, regarding whether the newly healthy people return to ill health once the Young Master leaves their side? I loved the narrator's voice in this one - I read him as being a little like Alfred looking after a young (and special) Bruce Wayne! (I have just watched TDKR!)
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure I understand this John, is he a kind of vampire drawing the well-being of others to nurture his own body, then giving it back so he can use it again?
Understand it or not, I still enjoyed the journey it took me on.I love what a unique concept this is! I'm with the others who'd like to see more of this, especially the visit to the asylum. And Young Master as an adult! How does he deal with this once he's self-aware and has some sort of personal morality, whether good or bad?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cathy, he'd best stay in the hospital. I like the sinister undertone throughout, the voice of the servile retainer worked well.
ReplyDelete- Chuck AllenJanuary 5, 2013 at 9:57 PM
I like this a lot. I'm not sure if it's the creative story idea or the likable narrator that I like most. Great job!
ReplyDelete It's the details, in addition to the voice of the protagonist, that deliver a greats story:
The pleasure of snapping one's fingers is a thing I had forgotten, and now reclaim."
"My apologies to any orderlies who catch the annual chill from our visit. I hear it is quite savage this year."
I come to this late and am glad the story continues in subsequent posts. There's a rich story to be unfolded here.

EUREKA- A suspect has been arrested after allegedly robbing a Eureka bank and demanding cash. The Eureka Police Department arrested the suspect less than an hour after recognizing the man from an iPhone photo taken from security camera footage.
According to Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills the suspect walked into Coast Central Credit Union at 4 p.m. Wednesday approached the clerk and demanded money. Mills said he did not have a weapon, but said the employee was frightened enough that they gave up the money.
Officers from the Eureka Police Department were called to the scene. Mills said security footage clearly revealed the suspect and the officer took a photo and texted it to on duty officers. One officer was able to recognize the suspects and had remembered his last location.
Mills said the suspect was found with money in his pocket and was arrested on scene. "I think ingenuity and innovation played the role, whether it's technology, or this time an iPhone, it's amazing how creative our officers are in trying to get their job done," he said.

When Big Brother is Watching [Out For] You: Mentoring Lawyers, Choosing a Mentor, and Sharing Ten Virtues from My MentorJulie A. OseidUniversity of St. Thomas School of Law (Minnesota) South Carolina Law Review, 2008 U of St. Thomas Legal Studies Research Paper No. 07-22 Abstract: This article examines the importance of mentoring in the legal profession, with an emphasis on how a mentor teaches a lawyer both how to be a successful professional and a successful person. I share my mentor's best advice in the form of ten virtues he has consistently emphasized. I review the history of mentoring in the legal profession, share examples of the current renaissance of legal mentoring, and explain the benefits of legal mentoring. I suggest qualities a lawyer should look for when choosing a mentor. I then consider the ten virtues I learned from my mentor: diligence, initiative, efficiency, reflection, enjoyment, simplicity, civility, honesty, sharing, and equality. I discuss both the virtues and the practical habits my mentor suggested as ways to achieve each virtue. My hope is that other law students and lawyers will benefit from my mentor's advice. Additionally, I hope my article motivates lawyers to establish their own mentoring relationships.

SYDNEY, 27 December - Sydney Blue Sox pitcher Craig Anderson and Adelaide Bite first baseman Ji-Man Choi received some special presents just in time for Christmas this week when they were named the Delta Air Lines Pitcher and Player of the Week respectively for Round Eight in the Australian Baseball League brought to you by 'Be the Influence: Tackling Binge Drinking'.
Adelaide's 21-year-old first baseman Choi went on a power trip during his side's Round Eight series against reigning league champions Perth. Over the course of the four-game series, Choi batted .462 (6-for-13) with three home runs, three runs scored, and six RBI. The South Korea native batted in three runs in each of the Bite's two weekend victories, and in Saturday afternoon's 5-3 Adelaide win, he clubbed a pair of homers, driving in the eventual game-winning runs with his second longball of the game in the sixth inning. Choi's .329 batting average through eight rounds is good for eighth-best in the circuit. Adelaide's series split with Perth knocked the two-time reigning champions Heat from the top spot in the league's standings for the first time since the end of the 2010/11 regular season.
Veteran left-hander Anderson dazzled in his lone Round Eight start, tossing the first complete game of his ABL career in a 5-1 Blue Sox win over the Jet Couriers Melbourne Aces. While tossing all nine innings, Anderson struck out three, walked one, and allowed just one while scattering eight hits. The victory dropped the Gosford, NSW native's ERA to 1.90, fourth-best among all ABL pitchers. It was also Anderson's fourth win of the season, a mark that checks in as second-most in the circuit. Sydney used a pair of late rallies to take three of four games from the Aces in Round Eight.
Choi's recognition is his first such award this season but makes him the third Bite player to be named Delta Air Lines Player of the Week this season.
Anderson, likewise, has earned his first personal award but joins fellow Sydney pitcher Chris Oxspring, a three-time winner, as honourees on the Blue Sox staff.
Coming up in Round Nine, these two award winners will face off as Anderson's Blue Sox host Choi's Bite at Blacktown International Sportspark. Following Round Six, the league's two weekly award winners had only faced off once in the round following their awards. Rounds Eight and Nine will make it twice in as many weeks, however. Last week, Brisbane pitcher Chris Smith squared off with Canberra shortstop Kody Hightower. Anderson and Choi will match wits in Sydney and Adelaide's four-game series this weekend.

Idahoans can prevent noxious weeds spread
Driving home from a weekend in the outdoors, an Idaho family stops to pick what they think are pretty white wildflowers growing near the roadside. On the way home, the white flowers, which are actually the noxious weed Perennial Pepperweed, wilt and 100 miles down the road end up being tossed into a ditch.
That innocent act has just introduced this highly invasive noxious weed into a new area, accelerating its spread.
Noxious weeds pose a serious threat to Idahos economy, ecology and agriculture, causing the state some $300 million annually in damage. Noxious weeds displace native vegetation and rob animals of their food supply.
They proliferate from seeds carried by the wind, weather, animals and unintentionally by Idahos citizens and visitors. An alarming number of noxious weeds will be among the first plants to flower this spring, adding a new color to the rainbow of native wildflowers that adorn the countryside.
The best way to control noxious weeds is to stop them from spreading. While it is not always possible to keep weed seeds from drifting down rivers, floating in the wind or hitching rides on wildlife, it is possible to prevent their unintended spread by humans.
Experts say there are five simple suggestions on how individuals can help stop the spread of noxious weeds to new areas:
To learn more about noxious weeds, log on to the Idaho Weed Awareness web site at http://www.idahoweedawareness.org or call the Idaho Weed Awareness hotline at 1-866-IDWEEDS.

Donnachiara Irpina Aglianico 2008
Other Red Wine from Southern Italy, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
#100 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
Intense ruby red color. Full, complex, intense bouquet redolent of marasca, prune and berries, with spiced notes. A warm, elegant and persistent with a great structure on the palate.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Smells of the mountain, featuring aromas of pine, wildflower and stone that give way to ripe wild berry notes and firm tannins. Structured, with a minerally aftertaste. Drink now through 2016."
Donnachiara Winery
Chiara was born in "Irpinia" region and she was raised on an Aglianico vineyard, family-owned since '800. She grew to love these charming lands, This passion was passed on across the family, woman to woman for 5 generations, now to ilaria petitto, chiara's daughter, only responsible today of keeping alive this family tradition made of magic scents and atmospheres. From this love and respect springs new winery, a small but precious jewel. Located in this spectacular land with a tradition of wine making that stretches back over a thousand years, Chiara's winery is equipped with the most advanced control instruments for both the production and the storage of the great Irpinian wines. The quality of the wine produced is in the heart of our company's philosophy which is in part achieved in our ownership of the vineyards, the careful and passionate attention to which yield the most bountiful grapes and precious wines. View all Donnachiara Wines About Southern Italy
Abruzzi, Puglia, & CampaniaAbruzzi
Kind of central, kind of southern, this region is best known for it's wine, Montapulciano d'Abruzzi – this wine is made from the Montelpulciano grape, unlike Vino Nobile di Montelpulciano, made with a Sangiovese clone in the region of Montelpuliciano. The Montelpulciano grape is happiest here in Abruzzi and the wine is rustic, yet soft and often fruity. The best part is that it's also good value and super food-friendly.
Sometimes called Apuglia outside of Italy, the area is known for making wine from the Zinfandel-related Primitivo variety. It sits on the Adriatic coast, facing Greece, and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. A productive wine region, Puglia makes a lot of wine, some of it not so high quality. Luckily, the good wine is exported and is of excellent value.
Perhaps better known for the city of Naples than the wine produced, Campania does have a couple of wines worth recognition. First, the white known as Greco di Tufo – an indigenous variety, Greco produces white wine that is dry, with a subtle nutty flavor. The best-known red here is Taurasi, made from the Aglianico grape, producing a wine of distinct color and flavor, with aromas of tar and leather.About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...
This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Allow me to post the victory speech from Mami Tomoe's Saimoe 2011 performance. It doesn't hurt to rewind to a couple years ago and wonder how far Japan has gone. It's still an awesome place. Here's the 2012 Saimoe Prime Minister. Note that this doubles as a parody of Barack Obama's 2008 remarks at Grant Park in Chicago.

If there's one thing I love about fanfiction, it's crossovers. There's a Madoka Magica crossover with Gurren Lagann going on right now, and it has a really interesting interaction between the Incubators and Anti-Spiral.
I'll spoiler the story summary since it contains Gurren Lagann spoilers as well. Spoiler for Gurren Lagann Madoka Magica Crossover Details:

You know as cheerful as Madoka is she certainty has a right to be infuriated by the incubators. Since she is now a goddess of sorts she could go and wipe out the incubators in rage.
Madoka magica- the rage of a goddess- The incubators were a emotionless race and so did not understand why Madoka was mad. Madoka procceded to wipe out the incubators and given her knew found intelect was able to lecture them on why their plan wouldn't work. "you have no emotions so you can't replinish what you used, and the amount of power you put out is the reason entropy will happen." Before the incubator could say something to justify itself madoka got a wicked idea. "Incubators I give you two options. A) you suffer in an endless cycle all the emotions of every magical girl their ever will be in order full fill your quota. or B) " Madoka grinned evilly at them. "You become human and suffer as cosplay models for every cosplay fanatic in the anime world." The incubators having no desire to suffer chose b, and regretted it as their now human bodies were forced to wear frilly maid costumes and outfits that were embarrassing even for them. ------ sorry about that not a good writer and it was spur of the moment. anyway I do think a small fanfiction where Madoka is angry ans seeks vengeance on the incubators would be a good fic since ironically madoka has the most right to be mad since three people she knew and cared about to certain degree's were killed for nothing, and being a goddess, she knows all that may have been.

So I asked myself: 'where would be a good place to start spreading out and see if anyone else is interested in my fanfic?' And the answer to that was: 'perhaps that anime site I stalk every now and then?'
The name is Kreise Der Spiralen (which is German for Circle of Spirals), It's already five chapters in, and has a fair amount of reviews, but I'd really appreciate it if any of you decided to read it and give your opinion afterwards~ anything you like about it? Anything you don't like? Feel free to tell~ Um... Okay, so here it is: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9435191...e-der-Spiralen Homura wakes up, only to find that all of her magical girl powers have disappeared. With such a huge disadvantage this time around, can she still save Madoka from her fate? |

How Long Do Cats Live?
"A novel must be exceptionally good to live as long as the average cat." This aphorism is widely attributed to Philip Stanhope, the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield. Lord Chesterfield lived through the period of English literary history when novels were just becoming popular, and there was already a sense that all forms of media were ephemeral. This was the age of Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels, two novels that are still read today, but also of Love in Excess and Hermsprong, two that have largely been forgotten.
What did Chesterfield have in mind? How long do cats live on average? What are the facts on cats' longevity? Here at Catster, we've done the research on the average cat lifespan and have all the information you need. We've crunched the numbers and can tell you that, like novels, the life expectancy of cats depends on a variety of circumstances, including environment, diet, and health. We'll give you information on everything ranging from the general question "How long do cats live?" to the average age of the "current" oldest living cat, the average of the outlying ages, and the averages for indoor and outdoor cat lifespan.
Average cat lifespan
How long do cats live? Environment, maintenance, health, and whether the cat is spayed or neutered -- all of these factors matter when thinking about average lifespans. Sterilization can be a significant factor. Spaying and neutering removes the risk of developing diseases that can affect a cat's reproductive system in old age. It has become a truism on the Internet, that, with access to current medical and dietary advancements, the ideal cat "can" or "may" live to 20 years and older. Based on a survey of 10 reputable sites that discuss the average domestic cat, the numbers are more inconsistent, ranging from 10 to 20 years. The average domestic cat lifespan comes out to 15.1 years.
Breed is certainly a factor. We could list out each breed, but then we'd be here forever. Our research suggests that mixed breed cats are, in general, hardier and live longer than purebred cats. Have a question about a specific breed's longevity? Please consult the Catster Cat Breed compendium! Here, we're concerned, like Lord Chesterfield, with "the average cat." On average, female cats live one to two years longer than male cats. On average, indoor cats live longer than outdoor cats. On average, wild, homeless, and feral cats live dramatically shorter lives than domestic cats.
How long do indoor cats live?
All the research we've done overwhelmingly suggests that indoor cats live nearly three times as long as outdoor cats. How long do cats live if they're indoor cats? Indoor cats are typically sterilized, vaccinated, and removed from the stresses, risks, and dangers of the outside world. They are fed regularly and have easy access to water that is fresh and clean.
They require more attention, more distractions, and must be encouraged to get sufficient exercise to avoid obesity. Fortunately, attentive cat owners provide all of those things. The numbers varied widely among all the sites we visited, ranging from 14 to 20 years. Based on the numbers we chronicled, the average lifespan of an indoor cat is 16.875 years.
How long do outdoor cats live?
Our research shows that outdoors, a number of challenges tend to limit the average cat lifespan. Of course, "outside" means different things depending on where a cat lives. Do you live in an urban, suburban, rural, or remote location? How many neighbors have outdoor cats? Do you live in a place with an abundance of predatory wildlife? Are there feral or stray animals nearby? Is the weather amenable year-round to an outdoor lifestyle? How close do you live to roads and thoroughfares?
These are all limiting factors, as are increased exposure to fleas, ticks, and other parasites and illnesses. Outdoors, cats can also get in fights and scrapes with other cats and are at increased risk of accidents. However, they also have the freedom to explore, mark out favored perches, and get natural exercise. Because there are so many more unpredictable variables, the numbers are generally not good, and cat lifespan ranges much more widely, anywhere from three to 10 years. The average cat lifespan outdoors is 5.625 years.
How long can cats live?
I can hear you saying, "But my cat ..." These numbers are all averages. My cat, Klesko, has always been an outdoor cat and she's 15 years old. There are always outliers that defy averages. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the oldest recorded cat age was attained by Creme Puff, a cat who passed away in Austin, Texas, at 38 years and three days old, a truly grand, almost incomprehensible age. The age of the "current" oldest living cat is much more variable because that information can go out of date at any given moment.
Reviewing the last several years' worth of information, I've seen the "current" oldest cat have ages ranging from 23 to 36. In the last decade, the average oldest living cat is 29.857 years old. Who is the current record holder? Rather than risk our own obsolescence, we suggest that you check with the Guinness site. Its page on "Oldest Cat Living" wisely and expressly states that the current record holder is a flexible and changeable position.
How long have your cats lived?
The picture above is of Doctor Frankenstein, a Norwegian Forest Cat, adopted at the age of seven. Her owner, Alexis, avers that her cat will live as long as she does. That will be a record-breaking cat indeed!
We want to hear how old your cats are! What is the longest-lived cat you've ever owned, heard of, or seen? Share your stories, photos, and memories in the comments!

Cartoonist publishes last regular work
On this day in 1972, William J. McClanahan's last regular cartoon appeared in the Dallas Morning News. He had started his career at the News as a sportswriter in the late 1920s, and did not find his forte as a cartoonist until 1946, when his first regular sports cartoon appeared. McClanahan became well known--as the "father of the Southwest Conference cartoon mascots"; as the popularizer of the "Grid Gram," a column that was, according to him, a "visual box score of a football game"; and as the inventor of the challenging "Texas Sports Exam." In 1957, after the retirement of senior News cartoonist John F. Knott, McClanahan joined Jack Howells (Herc) Ficklen as an editorial cartoonist for the paper, a position he held until his retirement in 1973. Among his numerous awards McClanahan won the Southwest Journalism Award in 1970 and multiple National Freedom Foundation awards. In retirement he published two books, a collection of cartoons called Texas: The Way It Used to Be (1968) and Scenery for Model Railroads (1958, 1967). McClanahan died of a heart attack in Dallas on September 7, 1981.

Read the article.
On the non-Linux side was Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64
Printable View
Looking forward to the follow-up with DirectX apps (which I actually thought this article was about ;)).
Anandtech ran a similar series of benchmarks a while ago, testing TF2, UT3 (oh the irony...), TackMania and EVE (unfortunately not the now dropped native client for the sake of comparison). Maybe test those to draw some parallels?
Can you give me the Windows 64bit version of Heaven ? No? lol
I redid the test in 32bit so i'll reiterate, using these settings i get:
Linux OGL 64bit ~ FPS: 33.3 / Scores: 839 / Min FPS: 22.7
Linux OGL 32bit ~ FPS: 33.2 / Scores: 837 / Min FPS: 22.5
Windows OGL 32bit in WINE ~ FPS: 33.1 / Scores: 835 / Min FPS: 22.6
Windows OGL 32bit ~ FPS: 31.7 / Scores: 798 / Min FPS: 21.9
Windows DX11 32bit ~ FPS: 30.6 / Scores: 770 / Min FPS: 20.9
Happy? :D
I agree, i did not say anything about Tesselation as both the Linux and Windows versions got it anyway, just that on my system at 1920x1080/1200 the Linux version is actually a bit better than the Windows one, and even more the OpenGL version is better than the DirectX one.
I'll redo some tests without Tesselation just to compare stuff.
I'm officialy burned by Heaven, so on to the tests:

The 9800GTX is a 512MB card, right? The way it nosedives at 1920x1080 in Michael's test makes me wonder if it's hitting that memory limitation. The only thing that's weird is that I'm a little surprised that the Windows OpenGL implementation wouldn't when the Linux one did, so perhaps that's not it after all.

This is the most unfun threesome I've ever been a part of
Still on the retro kick, only three or so more pages of rejigging and then I can give up entirely and go back to heavy drinking during the day. Sorry - thinking out loud again. I really should stop typing it out after these thoughts occur to me, or at the very least just delete what I've already written. Anyway - a couple more pages and hopefully I can put this turkey to bed and move onto the next pitch...

San Francisco Highpoint | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
Mt. Davidson is on the left of this photo, and it is clear here that it is San Francisco's highpoint, although the right of twin peaks take a close second. I just was looking for some way to post this beautiful photo here. Taken from Grizzly Peak, above Berkeley, CA, at sunset on 12/13/2007. There are no color adjustments made to this photo. Thank the quality of Canon's 24-70 f/2.8L lens to bring you these fantastic and realistic colors. | Image Data

Buying first boat
View Single Post

Thanks: 5
Thanked 124 Times in 98 Posts
Rep Power:
My bias is against boats that are aberations from wholesome yacht design principles, whether they were CCA rule beaters or not. In its 23 year history, the CCA rule went from producing reasonably good boats for their era, to boats that were so corrupted to beat a race rule that they ceased being good all around boats by any definition. Over the short life of the last version of the CCA rule, waterline lengths became more extremely short, and beam extremely narrow, and their light to moderate wind sail plans designed around huge genoas, the norm being 170-180% overlaps. The Morgan 45 was one of the last CCA grand prix racing designs. They went into production during the last year that the CCA rule was in use and pushed rule beating to an extreme perhaps only exceeded by Bill Luder's 'Storm'.
You can "Blah, Blah Blah" all you want, but CCA rule beater or not, are you really trying to say that a nearly 46 foot long boat with a 31 foot waterline, by any stretch of the imagination, represents a wholesome design. Are you trying to say, that a boat dependent on a 170% to 180% genoa is easy to handle. People who take boats like these cruising tend to carry heavy ground tackle off the bow and heavy dinghies in davits off the stern, creating a huge pitching moment of inertia, without the necessary waterline length to absorb that kinetic energy. Do you really think that is a good idea in a cruising boat?
To me a 170% to 180% genoa is an enormous sail to drag through the foretriangle, especially on a boat this big, requiring a huge amount of effort to tack compared boats designed to be sailed with smaller genoas. You can sail these boats with smaller sails, but you give away what little light air performance these boats can muster, and you begin developing high weather helm at a lower windspeed. Do you really believe that this kind of sail plan is easy to handle?
Beyond the broad generalities, in this case, I researched this particular model extensively, originally for my stepfather, and later for several other potential buyers of SJ 45's. I have spoken to close to a dozen owners of Morgan 45's and Starratt Jenks, and crawled through quite a few.
Virtuely all of the owners of the sloop rigged Starratt Jenks reported huge weather helm loads in its original form. Several said that the loads on the helm required enough strength that it precluded their wife or children from being able to steer in heavy air. The only way that they could balance the helm was to reef the mainsail early. Even with the reefed mainsail they still were sailing the very large heel angles that you seem to think is a good thing.
As to the fin keel definition, by the traditional definition of fin keel, the one that was in common useage when the Morgan 45 was designed, a fin keel was any keel that has a bottom length that is 50% or less than the length of the boat (or in some of the older definitions the horizontal length of their sail plan). That definition had nothing to do with where the rudder was located. But regardless of how you chose to define a fin keel, and whether you agree that the Morgan 45/Starratt Jenks is a fin, when you look at the Morgan 45 in profile, they have less keel area and a shorter keel root and foot than the 10" shorter waterline Cal 40. Sure sounds like a fin keel to me, and if not a fin by name, it will behave like a fin in fact.
When I think about the advantages of a full keel, I would suggest a full keel should offer; good tracking capabilities, better protection of the rudder than a fin keel, the ability to take to ground with enough keel length to reduce impact loads to the hull, and enough keel bottom to support the boat from tipping fore and aft allowing a boat to be dried out. When I think of the advantages of a fin keel boat, I think of low drag, light helm loads, and good maneverability.
In the case of the SJ you have such a short keel that you do not have good directional stability (tracking), the rudder is only inches above the bottom of the short keel, making it more vulnerable than a fin keel/skeg hung spade rudder design where the rudder is several feet shallower than the keel, and is too short to reduce impact loads or support the boat fore and aft. Similarly, compared to fin keel boats with detached rudders, the attached rudder position requires a larger rudder area and higher rudder loadings than a separated rudder with its greater longitudinal leverage. The higher rudder angles means higher drag. The reduced leverage means poorer manueverability. Whether you see this as a fin keel or not, I stand by my statement that this keel offers few of the virtues of a full or fin keel with most of the disadvantages of both.
In the end, I would give the original poster the advice that there are mush better boats out there for the dollar, especially as a first boat. Most that come to mind have a shorter length on deck, with similar or longer waterline lengths, easier to handle sail plans, and equal room down below.

Mumbai, Apr 28 (PTI) The rupee lost 12 paise to 60.72 against the US dollar in early trade today at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market due to month-end demand for the American currency from importers.
Besides, a mixed trend in other Asian currencies against the dollar overseas and a lower opening of the domestic equity market also put pressure on the local unit, forex dealers said.
The domestic currency had gained a massive 47 paise to close at 60.60 on Friday amid heavy selling of the US currency by corporates, exporters and banks.
Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex was down 27.44 points, or 0.12 per cent, to 22,660.63 in early trade today.

In order to fast level alchemy in Skyrim you need to know what potions you can make that have the highest value. For all the tools already out there I had trouble finding that out for the list of items I had. I didn't want to enter an inventory into an app each time, so this is simpler as you just click on the names of the ingredients you don't have.
To use this tool simply load this page and try making the potions starting from the top. When a potion has an ingredient you don't have (or don't want to use), just click on it and all potions with it will be hidden, showing you only what you can still.
When you want to start over, click this link to show all potions again.
Please note that I stole the table directly from http://keke.itarium.ch/uploads/alch_values.txt, I'm not sure who made that list in order to credit them or how accurate it is. I hope they don't mind....
This page is totally self contained so it can be copied easily. Feel free to distribute, as long as you add a clearly visible link near the top of the page to the original URL: www.hereafter.com/static/skyrimPotions.html.
Since this is a tool for levelling, I haven't added any information about the potions themselves, as I didn't care.

Use of a Serially Layered, Double Connective Tissue Graft Approach to Enhance Maxillary Anterior Esthetics
Susanne Maurer, Dr Med Dent, MS, Cataldo W. Leone, DMD, DMS
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0434
The demands of current periodontal practice require that clinicians use varied approaches to resolve poor esthetic appearances. In particular, patients are becoming less and less accepting of exposed roots and lost interdental papillae, especially in the maxillary anterior sextant. This report describes a surgical technique that combines the advantages of a root-coverage procedure using subepithelial connective tissue grafts and an incision design that preserves interdental papillae, coupled with the use of enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain) to maximize the regenerative potential. (Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent 2001;21:497–503.)

My Favorite Pictures from Month 2
My baby is 2 months old today. I honestly can hardly believe it, I could swear he just hit one month yesterday.
Even though he spends most of his days on me in some fashion, I spend a lot of time looking at pictures of him. And he has changed SO much in the past 8 weeks, it's almost unbelievable. I realized yesterday that though we've taken literally almost a thousand pictures of Eli in his first two months, that more than 90% of them have been on my phone.
It's not that we don't have a nice camera, we totally do, it's that most of the time, the pictures are unplanned and if I went for the camera that is sitting, oh, 12 inches away, I'd miss the moment. And I guess given the choice, I'll take not as great quality over no pictures any day.
So despite the fact that these are all iPhone pictures and therefore not the most amazing quality, these are my very favorite pictures of Elijah from his second month.
I can't wait to see what month 3 brings!

First ever standalone AMG showroom opens in China
Mercedes picks Beijing to push its AMG arm as a more separate brand
But what's so different about this store from the 195 other AMG dealers in 18 countries across the globe? Well, the key is that it's the first standalone AMG store, the 370sq metres of AMG space not attached in any way to the 'normal' Merc Franchise.
To mark the opening of the store, the new G63 super-SUV made its debut there and, aside from using it for similar product launches, the idea behind the AMG centre is to offer a showroom where potential customers can learn about AMG's products, its Driving Academy and its motorsports programmes.
That Mercedes should choose China to launch its new AMG branding offensive is surely proof, if you ever needed it, that China is now the place where car manufacturers think they shift the most high-end product.

However, Payne has now reached out to his supporters and assured them the claims are not true.
In a post on Twitter.com, he writes, "Thought I'd let you know this latest story is bulls**t I love you guys so much I love this band they're my best mates I ain't goin (sic) now werrr (nowhere)."

Have you made anything presentable yet? We agreed that you would make a presentable demo, thus proving your intentions and then we would discuss terms and possibility of cooperation and maby even freewaring koda.
That's right, though I thought the plan was to talk about licensing after we have something presentable and that you wanted to release it as freeware anyway:however, this contract will expire early in 2009 and, unofficially, Cateia Games plans to release the entire game for free, so you can do whatever you want with it at that point.
For me, the biggest complication has been the access to game data (the images) and I gathered from our e-mail communication that I should wait for koda for "when the game goes public".

According to a study conducted by Traverse City-based Ponemon Institute and cyber-security software maker Symantec, more than half of employees who lost or left their jobs in 2008 took company data with them.
A shocking 59% of respondents claimed they had copied or e-mailed company data. Of those who admitted taking data, 61% had an unfavorable view of their former employers.
In many cases that data wound up at competitors' offices. Almost 70% of respondents found new jobs after leaving their employers—and 67% of those workers reported using the data at their new jobs.
The data went out the door via CDs or DVDs (53%) and USB drives (42%), while some employees (38%) simply sent attachments to their private e-mail accounts.
The main problem appears to be lack of data security. More than 80% of respondents who took data claimed their employers never audited electronic documents or systems to see whether data had been stolen.

Byline: David R. Baker Daily News Staff WriterIn a garage filled with giant, disembodied foam heads and the screech of power tools, Steven Edward watches his Rose Parade float take shape.
That's the beauty of the project, Edward said: It is his float. And the volunteers stringing electrical wires in the belly of an immense sleeping bear? It's their float, too, he said.
Members of the Burbank Tournament of Roses Association are building this contraption themselves, without the help of a professional float-construction firm.
And in the modern Tournament of Roses, such self-reliance is rare.
When the annual parade snakes through Pasadena and across television screens worldwide Jan. 1, only six of the 54 floats will be ``self-builts,'' created through volunteer labor alone.
For the other floats, volunteers may glue on the final decorative touches - pound upon pound of rice grains, nuts and dried flowers - but the motorized guts and waving hydraulic arms are the work of a few companies specializing in float design.
Making your own float, one that won't look lame next to those built by pros, is a massive undertaking that gets progressively scarier as the parade date nears. But Edward, a vice president of the Burbank association, said the rewards justify the long nights and lost lunch hours.
``Where else,'' he asked, ``do you get to take a year out of your life and build a project that will be seen by 350 million people around the world, something that you can point to and say, I did that?''
Self-builts have long been a minority in the parade, in part because audiences have come to expect more elaborate displays each year, said parade publicist Nancy Atkinson. Gone is the simplicity of the early Rose Parades late in the 19th century.
``In the old days, people used to just pick their roses from their gardens and put them in their bicycles,'' Atkinson said.
While most corporations that sponsor Rose Parade entries can afford the cost of a professionally built float - $100,000 to $300,000 - some individual communities can't. Instead, they must rely on volunteers to draft blueprints, press local companies to donate materials and raise about $80,000 to buy everything else.
And then they are left on their own to piece together the machines.
Jigsaw floats
Building floats is a long process, to say the least.
In May, the La Canada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Association began construction on its entry - a swampland fantasy of giant flying insects. As of last week, it was still a tangle of metal sitting in a parking lot near the Foothill Freeway.
``We're in trouble,'' said Jim Geoghegan, the construction crew chief. ``We've had rainouts, floods, power failures.''
But stare at the metal long enough and, with some imagination, the shapes of two separate floats emerge. The wire skeleton of a frog encases the remains of a stripped-down truck. On the larger float, two long, steel prongs stand ready to wave a big dragonfly and a bee, which are supposed to race each other across the swamp.
Although amateurs in the float-building world, some of the volunteers swarming over La Canada Flintridge's floats share years of engineering experience gleaned from Lockheed or NASA's nearby Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Others have been sticking chicken wire onto floats for so long - their association has been around for about 20 years - that they've learned float building on the fly.
Geoghegan said his group can often produce better results than the professional float companies - at least, in his opinion.
``You can't compete with the money they have,'' he said. ``But you can compete in terms of how well it's designed and built.''
Individuality on wheels
In Burbank, Steven Edward's wife, Jennifer, shares Geoghegan's belief in the self-builts. When finished, the fruit of her association's labor, a 54-foot-long tableau of baby bears wreaking havoc while their father is asleep, will be as impressive as a professional float, she said. A man-sized cat will tip, over and over again, a pillar supporting a giant fishbowl. A lamp will swing above a set of immense children's building blocks.
``We're all using the same materials,'' she said. ``Sure, they're getting paid for their work, but there's nothing that says we can't do just as well.''
As tight as the float-building schedule is now, it is about to get worse. Once the basic float machinery is ready and certified roadworthy by parade officials, the work of piling on decorations begins. As many as 400 volunteers per day will be working on the Burbank float in the final week before the parade, painting and gluing and fixing.
Then on the big day itself, many of the exhausted volunteers, after spending the last year on construction, will either ride with their creations or watch them cruise the Pasadena streets. Many, but not all.
``By the time Jan. 1 rolls around,'' said La Canada Flintridge volunteer Ed Barlow, ``it's time to just put a tape in the VCR and watch it later.''
