Keeping the physical body healthy is important for Integrating our Energy.

Lhug-Pa wrote:What I meant by "sacrificing the gym", is just dropping the gym altogether as to just do short body-weight workouts at home, as to stay in shape, and as to have more time to practice and study.
Dechen Norbu wrote:Remember when I said that being present was not the same as being concentrated? Concentration makes you tense and there's a time and a place to develop it, but this is not mindfulness all day round.
Being present is not being in the state of instant presence. For that you need to get into that state once when your teacher gives you direct introduction.
You need to release tensions and just avoid wondering all the time in your thoughts. This also doesn't mean not thinking! It means that when you think, you control your thinking process instead of drifting away carried by thoughts. So this is not difficult at all and must be achieved gently and gradually. What is a little more difficult is being present for a long time, because we are very used to get distracted. When we get distracted and notice, we just make ourselves present very gently. It's not something you will develop by sheer will power. It's like a butterfly returning gently to a flower. Gently, again and again. You will see that being mindful makes your life quite better. Most of those worries that engulf you now and then, and when you notice you are already deeply involved with them, can very easily be released if you slowly develop mindfulness. Mindfulness in a certain way is not suffering from constant "amnesia-like episodes" in which we lose ourselves, drifting.
And don't worry about learning everything fast. Just do what you can, like you were a farmer. This takes time, little by little, everyday. It's not by worrying and rushing that you will reap your apples and oranges sooner.
mint wrote:Hi Dechen,
You've been a good friend throughout this all. I'm glad you responded to this thread.
I get what you're saying. Remaining present isn't a huge ordeal for me. I seem to do it quite naturally. I'm sure I could stand some adjustments, but really, on the whole, there's not much that I don't remain present during. I could potentially stand to be a bit more present when my girlfriend talks about shopping or hairstyles - but, on the whole, remaining present comes very natural to me, I think. So, since receiving transmission from Namkhai Norbu, and since reading more about Dzogchen, I'm thinking that this state of presence which comes so natural to me must not be adequate and I think this is where I've gotten off track and attempted to develop concentration. And, yes, this has caused me a great deal of the stress I've been feeling.
So, instant presence isn't something that I can develop on my own? If this is a guarded, restricted topic, feel free to PM me, if you want.
While I know this without you needing to have said it, yet while I know you're right, there's something in my very nature which always tends to rush. Perhaps its due to my competitiveness. As Jikan commented earlier, a great deal of stress has been caused by comparing myself to people here on the forum. But, of all the people who received transmission this past November 20, I'm the only one here on the forum who not only doesn't "get it," isn't practicing or keeping the samaya, and really doesn't have the time to dedicate to the sort of practice that Lhug-pa described above. I mean, I still don't know what a freakin' ganapuja is! And everybody else is talking about lhungrub and vidya and rlung and vase breathing.
I feel like a secondary grade student who has been invited to a college seminar. I also feel like, if Namkhai Norbu were to personally check on the progress of those people who received transmission on November 20, he'd look at alwayson and Lhug-pa and say, "Very good," and then look at me just shake his head in disappointment. I realize that this is neurotic, but it's how I feel. It's been a pretty steady feeling to, not one that has waxed and waned. I'm not saying it's a permanent feeling nor that it's somehow "real," but it's a concern that I am having to deal with. Really, though, what it comes down to is that Namkhai Norbu could care less about my practice: I'm the one who is disappointed in myself for not being a great Dzogchen practitioner and realizing that I currently have boundaries and limitations.

Johan Goosen says Heyneke Meyer has clearly communicated his reasons for delaying giving him a Test start but says that he feels ready to go.
Goosen has shifted into the national consciousness in recent weeks in light of Springboks' flyhalf incumbent Morné Steyn's poor form. Meyer had identified Goosen as a successor to Steyn from the outset of his tenure, but injury prevented him from using him earlier. However, with Goosen fit and showing glimpses of his potential in two cameos off the wood against Australia and New Zealand, there are mounting calls for him to replace Steyn for the home leg of the Rugby Championship.
Meyer has held his cards close as far as Steyn's immediate future is concerned but he certainly has a sense of the pressure he is under to cut the player. He has consistently explained his rationale for holding Goosen back, stressing that how he is introduced into that Test fold will be decisive in shaping the player he will become.
Goosen said, having been briefed on Meyer's reasoning, he was content with his role at present.
'The coach has been great in how he has dealt with me. I've always known his plans and I believe those plans are in my best interests,' Goosen told keo.co.za. 'He has been very careful, especially in terms of my exposure to the media and so on. I'm patient. I know what the purpose of the plan is. But I also feel like I can make the step up to start if the coach asks me to. I feel ready.'
Meyer is unlikely to veer from his kick-chase approach for the Loftus and Soccer City Tests, which brings into question Goosen's aptitude in executing the skills necessary to succeed within this framework. He is a player who enjoys standing flat to the line, taking that line on himself or keeping ball in hand in a bid to create opportunities for those on his outside. Goosen reckons that he will have to temper his natural instinct slightly if he starts, but scoffed at the notion that Meyer is conservative.
'Of course you have to be a little more careful about your attacking play in Test rugby, defensive systems are so good and teams punish small errors. But that doesn't mean the coach doesn't encourage me to run the ball when it is on,' he said. 'I work hard on my tactical kicking, even though we don't kick that often at the Cheetahs. I feel I can fit into the plans from a kicking perspective. But of course my strength is running the ball. There's a lot of room for that with the Springboks and the coach encourages us to express ourselves. It is about assessing the opposition's defensive set up quickly and taking that split second you have to go wide. I think that is the biggest adjustment you have to make from Super Rugby – the time and space you have is so much less.'
Asked what he thought of the vitriol that has been aimed at Steyn in the last week, Goosen said: 'I feel deeply sorry for him. He is a great guy, so humble and he works so hard in training. He has won many, many Tests for the Boks. He is going through a difficult time now, we all do, and he deserves better than what he is getting from some people and the media.'

Counting the Omer - Day Thirty-Seven
Click the numbers below to move through the Omer daily count
Daily Counting of the Omer
April 4 – May 22
The Torah teaches that we mark the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot with a daily counting.
Count the Omer online.
Inspirational quotations were submitted by community members.
How We Count the Omer
The Torah tells us that when we count the Omer:
- On days one through seven – Each day is counted. For example: "Today is one day of the Omer."
- After the seventh day – We count both days and weeks. For example: "Today is eight days, which is one week and one day of the Omer."
- Each day, a blessing is recited – Baruh Atah ADONAI, Eloheinu Melek ha'olam, asher kidshanu bemitzvotav vetzivanu al sefirat ha'omer (Blessed are You, GOD, ETERNAL ONE, who has sanctified us with commandments and instructed us to count the Omer).
Why count both days and weeks? The Torah states, "You shall count fifty days," of the Omer, yet also says "Count seven complete weeks."
Why pair the Sheva Middot? We can pair the seven measures 49 ways, which equals the number of days between Passover and Shavuot. Incorporating our Sheva Middot into the Omer counting adds a deeper layer of meaning to the experience.
Counting the Days of Harvest
Passover and Shavuot both take place during the harvest season. In Biblical times, Shavuot marked the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest. A sheaf of barley was set aside each of the 49 days of the Omer and offered as a sacrifice to GOD in hopes that the land might produce enough crops for the following season.
Harvest was an anxiety-filled time for communities whose livelihood depended on agriculture, and the 49 days of the Omer took on a solemn tone of semi-mourning. To acknowledge this somber mood, some mourning customs are observed during this time: restrictions on music, no weddings and no haircuts. The somber mood is broken by Rosh Hodesh (the beginning of a new Hebrew month), Lag Ba-omer (the 33rd day of the counting) and Israel Independence Day.
Counting the Days from Slavery to Revelation
In the rabbinic period, the celebration of Shavuot included the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. Because it took 49 days from Egypt to reach the foot of Mount Sinai, Shavuot celebrates revelation upon receiving the Torah. The Sinai experience marks a key turning point in the development of the Jewish people – when a loose band of former slaves became a nation.

Grain direction is VERTICAL on Masters Series, Compose Wood Storage, Enclose walls and LifeSPACE walls.

On Enclose and LifeSPACE, this double cut veneer is applied in a vertical direction using a different code: Ebony Vertical: WJ-HE.
This color on Candor is only available on Beech. Color M3-RE is offered on Rush.
Color Stability and Lighting: We formulate our stains to maintain compatibility under daylight and cool white light. As a precaution, always select colors and materials under the specific type of lighting used at Haworth. Particular care should be taken with high intensity discharge light, which can adversely affect color compatibility.
Natural Occurring Effects of Light: Light determines color and has a tendency to bleach out color over a period of time. Depending on the color and the chosen veneer species the effect will vary. Fruitwood [e.g. cherry] has a tendency to darken as the stain color lightens, while other species of veneer tend to lighten as the stain color fades. This factor needs to be considered when adding new components to an existing job.

If the amplified sense of intensity on the practice field and in the locker room wasn't telling enough, there's another clear-cut way in which linebacker Odell Benton distinguishes Elon University's crossover from non-league to Southern Conference games.
DVD clips on opponents are out extra early.
"You see guys around campus, everybody's already got their film," Benton said. "So all the way back to Monday night, we're popping in that film, watching it back at our dorms or apartments, really just making sure to get our minds right a lot earlier."
The time to test that focus factor comes tonight, when the Phoenix opens league play at Georgia Southern.
Elon figures to have a lot to process against the Eagles, the defending Southern Conference champions ranked No. 11 in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Pick an angle and there's a challenge attached.
-- Elon embarks on its league schedule with coach Jason Swepson days removed from a hospital stay and medical procedure due to chest pains.
-- Georgia Southern, the conference's preseason pick to repeat as champion, should be, as Benton put it, "foaming-at-the-mouth angry" after losing two weeks ago at The Citadel and then waiting through last week's open date with no rebound game to play.
-- The Eagles' tricky triple-option offense again is churning out prolific rushing production — 432 yards per game — and always presents recognition difficulties for defenses with pitches, misdirection and cut-blocking.
-- The atmosphere in Statesboro, Ga., at tradition-rich Paulson Stadium tends to be buzzing, especially for night games.
Elon receiver Rasaun Rorie reiterated a long-established fact this week when he said the atmospheres at Appalachian State and Georgia Southern remain the most daunting in the league.
"We've been telling the freshmen the Georgia Southern environment is way different than anything they've been in," Rorie said. "They have a great student section. I don't know how they do it, but they get info on (opposing) players. They have sheets of paper and stuff. It's like, 'How'd you find out this information?' "
Elon arrives off back-to-back convincing victories against North Carolina Central and Division II West Virginia State, teams that pale in comparison to what the Phoenix encounters tonight.
"From here on out, there's going to be no more cakewalks," Rorie said.
In Elon defensive coordinator Ed Pinkham's view, the mission hinges on sound-enough execution against ground-pounding Georgia Southern, so that mental mistakes are reduced and opportunities for easy scores thus are limited.
Converting from defending conventional spread or pro-style offenses to the triple option can make for an avalanche of new data to digest.
To that end — and because conference foes Wofford and The Citadel also run the option — Elon steadily has devoted segments of practice to the offense since August training camp.
"Every now and again, just to keep their minds fresh," Pinkham said, "so that the week that we prepare for this wishbone — I still call it the wishbone — it's not brand new.
"What we've done so far has helped our confidence to some degree. We've sharpened some things up. But now, here comes the battle."
Benton said to consider Elon ready to rumble.
"We're going in with the road warrior mentality," he said. "We're going in knowing everything's against us and probably no one's going to pick us to win. But we know we have a chance to beat them, and we're not afraid."
Elon (2-1, 0-0) at No. 11 Georgia Southern (1-1, 0-1)
Kickoff: 6 tonight Radio: WPCM-AM 920
Where: Paulson Stadium (capacity 18,000)
Coaches: Jason Swepson (second season at Elon, 7-7). Jeff Monken (third season at Georgia Southern, 22-9).
Series: Georgia Southern leads 9-3
Extra points: Georgia Southern has won the last two meetings in this series after Elon claimed three straight victories from 2007 to 2009. … In six previous road games at Georgia Southern, Elon's only victory came in 2008. The Phoenix won 22-20 that night on Andrew Wilcox's fifth field goal of the game with 6.1 seconds remaining. … Georgia Southern has two of the top 12 rushers in the Football Championship Subdivision in quarterback Ezayi Youyoute (132.5 yards per game) and Dominique Swope (116.5 yards per game). … Elon's starters on offense and defense still have yet to play in a fourth quarter this season due to lopsided scores in all three games. … Georgia Southern played nearly three halves before completing its first pass of the season with 39 seconds left in the second quarter two weeks ago at The Citadel. … Elon running back Matt Eastman (knee) practiced this week and could make his season debut tonight. Elon defensive end Brandon Brant (turf toe) is listed as doubtful.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX), chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, commented on today's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing that 192,000 nonfarm payroll jobs and 192,000 private payroll jobs were added in March, while the unemployment rate remained at 6.7%.
With the March jobs numbers, the U.S. economy has officially regained all of the 8,790,000 private-sector jobs lost since the recession began in December 2007.
"That it took six long years for America's economy to simply return to break even for Main Street jobs is compelling proof of President Obama's disappointing economic leadership", said Brady. "This is the weakest recovery in half a century, and the pain is felt most by those desperately trying to find a job or struggling with a paycheck that's barely changed in six years," said Brady.
"Do we have to settle for a second-rate economy? Is the President stubbornly staying the course the right course for our struggling economy? The answer to both is no."

imagine the splits. 300 dollars for 50mL
What a freaking joke.

$$$$$.....This seems crazy to me in this slow economy.....I'm sure there will be those that purchase this.....not me that's for sure!!!
Thanks for the info and pictures cairomerta!!!
The bottle size is 500ml, to justify the huge price tag?
For that price I cannot imagine it not being pure extrait. It should be highly potent stuff I would think.
Custom made for the great Napoleon himself. Oh wait.... is that historically accurate?
That said, it's a free economy and I wish Creed the best of luck selling their stuff. I have been impressed by a few Creeds so I think the new frag could be great, but unfortunately... I will probably never know.
Isn't this one supposed to be a feminine fragrance? Thanks for the photo of the Pochet flacon.

How much, Creed must have found the fabled fountain of youth and has bottled it.lol
Yall slag it but you knows you gunna be fallin over yourselves to get a decant Crazy money but hey if you can afford it then good on you
I'm almost more intrigued about the fabulous amount of PR balderadash this will generate. I doubt the fragrance will be any better than, say, the crazily priced Clive Christians, which are, after all, just the usual contemporary blend of aromachemicals and naturals (nothing one wouldn't find in a $30 bottle of Caron puh etc. pp.). Like with most high-priced perfumes, this will be artificially generated exclusivity via wanton pricing, rathern than genuine exclusivity based on limited availability of ingredients or production capacity.

I think it's a great idea actually. In commemoration of their longstanding, charge a rate of about $5.20 for every year they've been a house for the anniversary scent. Or a rate of $32.50 for every year that they've actually been making perfume for. Depends on how you look at it. It all makes perfect sense.

Jazznpool, latest word is that it is indeed UNISEX. Not feminine. This makes sense. I expect this to transcend a lot of categories.
I would simple this but not buy it,sadly creed is going down in quality while upping prices. Relics like vintage tabarome are not the norm from this house on top of their reforulations and subpar new releases I personally am becoming disheartened by this house.
If I ever win Lotto, maybe I'd consider buying this....
Its ridiculous to offer something only very few can enjoy. What is the message here? Creed only wants the select few to participate in celebration of their company? To me, offering such a product doesn't celebrate the majority of people that keep their company strong.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?

in the luxury goods marketplace, the concepts of value and cost are becoming increasingly arbitrary, and are more based on theory than pragmatic reality.
in spite of all this... oh, what I would pay for a truly vintage formulation of vintage Tabarome. if only. Creed, please take note.
[hope it's ok to pull out a quote from you, t_g_l.]
mmm another designer ripoff with royal natural materials and appointed by Queen Elizabeth II by royal Email 250 years ago?
Yeh, fine, thanks - so it's a mystery bottle, that's it then?
Thanks for the news.

Seriously, the Creed haters have pretty much ruined basenotes for me. That said, I look forward to reviews on this particular Creed from serious members.
Maybe a section devoted to this house should have a forum all its own for all the devotees. The Creed "Insiders" are beginning to ruin the male forum for me.......and I don't think I am alone in this train of thought.
I thank the kind Creed salesmen for their attention, but I really believe that the dignity of this forum is above this kind of childish attacks, so I will not respond in kind. (I have to admit it though, for a Creed agent it was pretty impressive to notice that "Creed" and "Tweed" [somewhat] rhyme.)
Just one more observation: responding to any stimulus whatsoever with an automatic Creed-worshiping behavioral pattern does not equate being educated, in the real world.
Best wishes to all.

I'm neither a Creed hater nor a devoted fan, yet I am very much interested in reading actual reviews about this and I find the OP's pic interesting. All this Pro/Contra Creed-talk is indeed getting tiresome.
Huge price-tag is not uncommon to Creed... but this is really HUGE. Where are they suppose to sell this limited quantity? Are they going to send samples to retailers? Will this be an "buy it blind or don't buy at all" because it's unique and limited?
And sorry about the ripoff comment, but i was very enthusiastic about getting my first creed little bottle and I feel very underwhelmed by it right now. I won't add more about this for the health of the topic.
Anyway, 1300$? they should think more about those poor creed fans who make the brand what it is nowadays and that are willing to pay a lot but not that much for a fragrance. Let's celebrate our 250 years with our fans, not with a limited quantity of big expenders.
You flatter yourself if you believe you abide by forum decorum and rules: you don't!
Creed plants are a lot more aggressive towards the doubters than the doubters are towards the Creed plants.
You could always easily create some esoteric internet space in which any Creed criticism, no matter how mild, is met with virtual amputations, stonings, and whatever else you see fit.
Creed should perhaps consider selling a line of hats with a sign at the front that reads: "I am wealthy".
Just a thought.
I'm not arguing nor putting up that you're "wrong"... just amazes me how further up the latter the exclusivity goes, the people that are more than likely left behind will say it's not a fair thing to limit whom can enjoy their offerings.
The majority doesn't support Creed. They started off as tailors to royalty. Limiting this to release to those type of folks is more aligned with their heritage than dropping their prices.
Not that I agree with it, I can see it that way.

SIMON BORCHARDT saw the Golden Lions return to the top of the Currie Cup log with a 22-9 win against Western Province at Newlands.
The Lions led just 12-9 with 15 minutes to go before a moment of madness from De Kock Steenkamp gifted the visitors a crucial try. The second rower threw a no-look pass between his legs that was collected by winger Deon Helberg, who ran 60m to score.
However, the Lions' hero was undoubtedly Butch James, who proved to be a more than able flyhalf replacement for Elton Jantjies. The 33-year-old directed his backline superbly and was successful with all five of his kicks at goal.
The Lions will look back on their defensive effort with pride (they made more than 100 tackles), while WP will rue their high number of handling errors and ill-discipline.
WP flank Tyrone Holmes, who was red carded for punching against the Sharks two weeks ago, was lucky not to be yellow carded in the second minute of this match when he shoulder charged James after the flyhalf had chipped ahead. James kicked the penalty from straight in front.
The Lions had 65% of the possession in the first 25 minutes but had little to show for it as Joe Pietersen's penalty levelled the scores.
The rain started falling soon after, which made conditions difficult, but both sides still managed to hold onto the ball at times and put their opponents under pressure.
James edged the Lions ahead 9-3 with penalties either side of half-time, but Demetri Catrakilis made it all square with two penalties of his own.
The Lions were reduced to 14 men when James was harshly yellow carded for a high tackle on Marcel Brache, but they managed to keep WP scoreless during the next 10 minutes through committed defence, while adding three points of their own via winger Ruan Combrinck.
Then came that pass from De Kock Steenkamp that will give him a few sleepless nights. James kicked the conversion and added a penalty minutes later to secure a well deserved win.

I have a pair of Diesel jeans I don't wear. I bought them during summer and wore them to a farm league baseball game when I got home, then put them in the closet and never wore them again. I bought them in France and I'm not sure what model they are. They're very straight fit and pretty slim IMO (I have big biker legs, they're tight on my thighs) and feel very nice. They were about 180 euros, which (at the exchange rate when i got them, not the current one) is about $230.
Tag size: 32"
Actual: 34"
Inseam (measured): 34.5"
Rise (front): 10.5"
Knee: 18"
Leg opening: 16"
Thigh at crotch: 22"
(obviously all these sizes are around, not flat)
They're in the same condition I bought them new in and haven't been washed (I can if you want). The distressing on them (I know guys, predistressed jeans aren't cool ) is how they were, I didn't do it.
Price: $120/very neg. or will trade for a fixed gear rear wheel of basically any quality.

Intel Social Media Guidelines
Social media is changing the way we work, offering a new model to engage with customers, colleagues, and the world at large. We believe this kind of interaction can help you to build stronger, more successful business relationships. And it's a way for you to take part in global conversations related to the work we are doing at Intel and the things we care about.
These are the official guidelines for participating in social media for Intel. If you're an Intel employee or contractor creating or contributing to blogs, wikis, social networks, virtual worlds, or any other kind of social media, these guidelines are for you. They will evolve as new social networking tools emerge, so check back regularly to make sure you're up to date.
Participation in social computing on behalf of Intel is not a right but an opportunity, so please treat it seriously and with respect. If you want to participate on behalf of Intel, take the Social Media@Intel training and contact the Social Media Center of Excellence. Please know and follow the Intel Code of Conduct. Failure to abide by these guidelines and the Intel Code of Conduct could put your participation at risk. Contact email@example.com for more information. Please also follow the terms and conditions for any third-party sites.
1. Disclose
Your honesty—or dishonesty—will be quickly noticed in the social media environment. Please represent Intel ethically and with integrity.
- Be transparent: Use your real name, identify that you work for Intel, and be clear about your role.
- Be truthful: If you have a vested interest in something you are discussing, be the first to point it out and be specific about what it is.
- Be yourself: Stick to your area of expertise; write what you know. If you publish to a website outside Intel, please use a disclaimer something like this: "The postings on this site are my own and don't necessarily represent Intel's positions, strategies, or opinions."
2. Protect
Make sure all that transparency doesn't violate Intel's confidentiality or legal guidelines for commercial speech—or your own privacy. Remember, if you're online, you're on the record—everything on the Internet is public and searchable. And what you write is ultimately your responsibility.
- Don't tell secrets: Never reveal Intel-classified or confidential information. If you're unsure, check with Intel PR or Global Communications Group. Off-limit topics include: litigation, non-published financials, and unreleased product info. Also, please respect brand, trademark, copyright, fair use, and trade secrets. If it gives you pause…pause rather than publish.
- Don't slam the competition (or Intel): Play nice. Anything you publish must be true and not misleading, and all claims must be substantiated and approved. Product benchmarks must be approved for external posting by the appropriate product benchmarking team.
- Don't overshare: Be careful out there—once you hit "share," you usually can't get it back. Plus being judicious will help make your content more crisp and audience-relevant.
3. Use Common Sense
Perception is reality and in online social networks, the lines between public and private, personal and professional are blurred. Just by identifying yourself as an Intel employee, you are creating perceptions about your expertise and about Intel. Do us all proud.
- Add value: There are millions of words out there—make yours helpful and thought-provoking. Remember, it's a conversation, so keep it real. Build community by posting content that invites responses—then stay engaged. You can also broaden the dialogue by citing others who are writing about the same topic and allowing your content to be shared.
- Keep it cool: There can be a fine line between healthy debate and incendiary reaction. Try to frame what you write to invite differing points of view without inflaming others. And you don't need to respond to every criticism or barb. Be careful and considerate.
- Did you screw up? If you make a mistake, admit it. Be upfront and be quick with your correction. If you're posting to a blog, you may choose to modify an earlier post—just make it clear that you have done so.
Contractors and Endorsements
As the Intel Social Media Guidelines describe, we support transparency and are committed to clear disclosure of relationships and endorsements. If you are contracted, seeded, or in any way compensated by Intel to create social media, please be sure to read and follow the Intel Sponsored, Seeded, or Incentivised Social Media Practitioner Guidelines. As part of these guidelines, you need to disclose that you have been seeded or otherwise compensated by Intel. Your blog will be monitored for compliance with our guidelines and accurate descriptions of products and claims.
Moderation (reviewing and approving content) applies to any social media content written on behalf of Intel by people outside the company, whether the site is on or off intel.com. We do not endorse or take responsibility for content posted by third parties, a.k.a. user-generated content (UGC). This includes text input and uploaded files, including video, images, audio, executables, and documents. While we strongly encourage user participation, there are some guidelines we ask third parties to follow to keep it safe for everyone.
- Post-moderation: Even when a site requires the user to register before posting, simple user name and email entry doesn't really validate the person. So to ensure least risk/most security, we require moderation of all UGC posts. The designated moderator scans all posts to be sure they adhere to Intel's guidelines.
- Community moderation (a.k.a. reactive moderation): For established, healthy communities, group moderation by regular users can work well. This will sometimes be allowed to take the place of post-moderation–but it must be applied for and approved.
- The "house rules": Whether content is post-moderated or community moderated, we use this rule of thumb: the Good, the Bad, but not the Ugly. If the content is positive or negative and in context to the conversation, then it can be approved, regardless of whether it's favourable or unfavourable to Intel. But if the content is ugly, offensive, denigrating, and/or completely out of context, then we ask our moderators and communities to reject the content.
Intel Sponsored, Seeded, or Incentivised Social Media Practitioner Guidelines
Intel supports transparency. We are committed to ensuring that our social media practitioners (SMPs) clearly disclose relationships and endorsements, and that statements about Intel products are truthful and substantiated. If you are a social media practitioner who has been seeded with product, incentivised, or otherwise has an ongoing relationship with Intel, these guidelines apply to you. If you have any questions or concerns about them, get in touch with your Intel sponsor.
Please keep in mind that Intel monitors social media related to our business, including the activities of our sponsored, seeded, or incentivised SMPs. If we find any non-disclosed relationships or statements that are false or misleading, we will contact you for correction. If, as a sponsored SMP, you are found to repetitively make inaccurate statements about Intel, Intel products, or Intel services, we may discontinue our relationship with you.
Rules of Engagement for Intel Sponsored, Seeded, or Incentivised SMPs
- Be transparent: Please clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship to Intel, including any incentives or sponsorships. Be sure this information is readily apparent to the public and to readers of each of your posts.
- Be specific: Do not make general claims about Intel products, but talk specifically about what you experienced.
- Be yourself: We encourage you to write in the first person and stick to your area of expertise as it relates to Intel technology.
- Be conscientious: Keep in mind that what you write is your responsibility and failure to abide by these guidelines could put your Intel sponsorship or incentive at risk. Also please always follow the terms and conditions for any third-party sites in which you participate.

A MAN who discovered a 48-year-old bar of Kendal Mint Cake in his loft believes it may be the oldest-surviving bar of the famous confectionery.
Peter Truelove, 68, of Windermere, bought the bar of Robert Wiper's Original Mint Cake when he and a friend visited Kendal as 21-year-olds in 1964.
The pair were on a 'boy's adventure' which took them from their homes in Kent to John O'Groats, the most northerly point on the Scottish mainland.
"We travelled the distance in an Austin 7 and it took us a week," said Mr Truelove, of Hill Top. "The car only did 35mph at best and it was blizzard weather – the snow was coming into the car.
"We called at Kendal on the way back and we'd heard about the mint cake, so when we saw some we thought we'd buy a bar."
Mr Truelove said he was not sure why he had kept the bar in a box in his loft.
"It was on a shelf as a memento of the trip but it's been in the loft since we moved to Windermere 16 years ago," he said. The bar is still in reasonable condition although some of the sugar is seeping through the wrapping.
Although the original Wipers recipe is still used, the company was sold to Romneys in 1987.
Managing director John Barron said: "We have been making it all these years and I don't think we have any that old – it's impressive.
"It wouldn't do him any harm to eat it now but I don't expect it would taste very nice."
Mr Truelove said what was also interesting to discover was the journal he wrote while travelling, which documented the stop-off in Kendal. He said: "I had to record everything we spent because my friend and I were splitting the cost of the trip. It's funny now to look back and see that someone offered to sell us a car engine and gear box for £2.50, and that 15 litres of petrol was 60p.
"Unfortunately, the price of the mint cake wasn't included, although I did write that we'd visited and purchased it."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

Biographical Profile:
Dr. Ciolino obtained his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine and subsequently pursued an ophthalmology residency at Albany Medical College, where he served as Chief Resident in his final year. Returning to Boston for a two-year fellowship in the Cornea, Refractive Surgery and External Disease Service, he received the nationally recognized Claes Dohlman Fellowship Award. He then joined Harvard Medical School's full time faculty at Mass. Eye and Ear under the K12 Harvard-Vision Clinical Scientist Development Program, a highly competitive institutional program funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Working with collaborators at Boston Children's Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Ciolino has developed a drug-eluting contact lens capable of delivering various pharmaceutical agents, such as antibiotics, antifungals, and glaucoma medication. These drug-eluting lenses have the potential to improve surgical outcomes for patients with keratoprosthesis by both protecting the ocular surface of the eye and by preventing post-operative infections, and they may one day replace eye drops.
In addition to his clinical practice and his research program, Dr. Ciolino also supervises medical students and participates in training residents and fellows. He is a named inventor on a U.S. patent application for a contact lens drug delivery device, and his research innovations have multiple direct therapeutic applications that may ultimately benefit a broad and diverse patient population.

My Usage FAQ
Why is my Internet bandwidth usage so high?
Below are several ways to find out how your bandwidth is used and some tips to decrease your usage.
Begin by checking your weekly usage by going to the Internet section of My Account.
If there are peaks in usage, you may be able to identify the cause.
The most common causes of overuse are downloading music, movies, games, and videos. As a guide, watching videos on YouTube uses approximately 125 MB/hour. View package speeds and monthly transfer capacities
Sharing sites or those that use torrent-style programs can be responsible for large amounts of downloads. The settings for this type of program can be modified to reduce the amount of data you share with other users.
If you have a wireless router, be sure to protect it with a password that you change regularly in case it is compromised. Without a password, anyone can use your bandwidth.
If you notice an extreme level of usage (over 200 GB), your computer may have been infected by a virus. You can use Cogeco's free online virus scanner to see if that is the case.

The Stormers burst the Brumbies bubble in Cape Town and made a mockery of Jake White's pre-match prediction that the hosts didn't have the attack to beat the Australians.
The Stormers, who lead 22-10 at halftime, scored four tries to one in winning 35-22.
This was one I called in my weekend pre-match picks and the Stormers were true to their defensive structure but were also prepared to back themselves on attack.
Gio Aplon scored a magical try, flyhalf Elton Jantjies created two scores with the most delicate of offloads and Gerhard van den Heever added the bonus point try with an intercept.
White had been bullish about his team's prospects and singled out Jantjies as a defensive weakness. He also said the Stormers had not been able to score tries and they couldn't beat the Brumbies with penalty kicks.
The Stormers responded with a statement on the field. Physically they matched and edged the Brumbies in the collisions and while the visitors were outstanding at the breakdown, the Stormers defence was decisive in determining the victory.
Veterans Andries Bekker and captain Jean de Villiers were monumental in their defensive work rate and impact on attack, No 8 Duane Vermeulen set the physical tone and reserve hooker Deon Fourie added a dimension to the breakdown.
Jantjies was brave in defence and astute in his general game and captain De Villiers lauded the young flyhalf's performance.
The Brumbies, brilliant in dismantling the Sharks in Durban a week ago, were never allowed to settle into any groove and the physicality of the Stormers negated the attacking threat of the visitors.
White's Brumbies had not lost away from home in seven matches, a tournament record, and had conceded only two tries in four matches. They had scored the second most in the tournament and were leading the competition.
White emphasised just how good his team had been and said there was no reason they couldn't win in Cape Town.
It may just have been that White handed the Stormers their team talk and it was a motivated home team that played with desire and determination in the first 40 minutes and finished the final five minutes the stronger of the two teams.
Brumbies specialist fetcher George Smith was a menace and until Fourie's introduction Smith did as he pleased at the breakdown.
Some of it was illegal but most of it was down to his brilliance on the deck. He is one of the game's greats and he delivered his best. Not so the rest of the Brumbies who individually had their moments, but as a unit could not reproduce the high of Durban.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, who was White's Springbok assistant between 2004 and 2007, certainly won the first battle of the two coaching mates. Not only did the Stormers become the first team to score four tries against the Brumbies this season, but they were also the first team to limit the Brumbies to a solitary try.
The Brumbies would have felt that at 28-22 they could still sneak a win but Van den Heever's intercept with three minutes to go completed the Stormers first bonus point victory of the season.
White was humble in defeat and said the margins of error were small when two quality sides clashed. He credited the Stormers defence and desperation at home as contributing factors and said it was a lesson to those who hadn't played at Newlands before.
'We showed a lot in the second half to get back into the game and with seven minutes to go I felt we could still win as only one score separated the two sides, but we were always playing catch up after trailing 22-10 at halftime,' said White. 'It is never easy winning in South Africa but even more so when a South African team is desperate, and the Stormers certainly showed the necessary desperation.'

Frequently asked questions
Why was the Inquiry set up?
The National Assembly for Wales set up the Inquiry to undertake a thorough investigation of the Outbreak of E.coli O157 in South Wales in September 2005, to find out what happened, and to make recommendations to prevent it from happening again.
What is a public inquiry?
The purpose of a public inquiry is to get to the bottom of the matter(s) in question. It is a means of seeking out the facts in a way that would not be possible in adversarial proceedings such as a lawsuit in which one party wins and another loses. It cannot determine civil or criminal liability. More information about the Inquiry's role is available here .
How did the Inquiry undertake its work?
At its Preliminary Hearing, which was held on 27th of June 2006, Inquiry Chairman, Professor Hugh Pennington, explained how he would conduct the Inquiry. A full transcript of his statement is available here (MS Word 71.9Kb) On the day of the hearing, the Inquiry published a document setting out its procedures. Information on the Inquiry's procedures can be found here (MS Word 84Kb). The Inquiry report also explains its approach.
What were the Inquiry's Terms of Reference?
Its terms of reference were: 'To inquire into the circumstances that led to the Outbreak of E.coli O157 infection in South Wales in September 2005, and into the handling of the Outbreak, and to consider the implications for the future and make recommendations accordingly'.
Who led the Inquiry?
The Chairman of the Inquiry was Professor Hugh Pennington, a microbiologist with an international reputation. Professor Pennington led the review into the Outbreak of E.coli O157 in Scotland in 1996.
Who else was involved in the Inquiry?

What are oral hearings?
The purpose of oral hearings is to assist the Inquiry in areas where facts are not clear or where there is controversy. They may help to clarify or expand on certain matters, or provide an opportunity to test the accuracy or reliability of evidence.
The fact that certain evidence is not dealt with at the hearings does not mean that it is regarded as irrelevant or that it is being afforded less weight by the Inquiry. The Inquiry considers all evidence it receives.
The Inquiry held its Preliminary Hearing on 27 June 2006. It took a significant amount of evidence through its programme of public hearings, which started on 12 February 2008 and ended on 19 March 2008. Participants in the Inquiry made closing statements at another hearing on 14 May 2008. Copies of the closing submissions can be accessed here (pdf 35KB) . Full transcripts of all the Inquiry's proceedings can be accessed here.
More information about oral hearings can be found here.
Was the Inquiry independent?

The greatest city of the Itza Maya is a place of wonder and magic and at Mayaland, you'll feel its heartbeat.
Mayaland was the first Hotel built at Chichen Itza (in 1923), and, with its superb location amidst the temples, the first within an ancient site in the world. In a way, it's as much a landmark as the pyramids that tower above it.
Mayaland is a creation of Old Yucatan, built and operated by its original owners and their descendents in a style reminiscent of the hacienda nobility of a century ago.
Its air of genteel hospitality and old-fashioned charm is a legacy enhanced by the addition of every amenity. The grounds are alive with birdsong and butterflies, and all the exotic fruits and flowers of tropical Yucatan.
Over 100 acres of gardens surround the main house and its outlying Mayan bungalows, offering your choice of accommodations. The main building was designed by Sylvanus G. Morley, the head of the Carnegie expedition that rebuilt Chichén Itzá in the 1920s.
Its Hacienda-style main corridor offers views of the ancient Mayan Observatory. The Mayaland Hotel is an experience in itself; one that will enrich your stay at Chichén Itzá.

That will never cease to give me chills. Cool video.
Gads why did the Shipping company that had my stuff lose all my Super 8s. I had a ton of Carrier cats and traps from my seats on the EA-3B.
All I can say is......Go Navy !
Wow... What a ride.... And Hold On.
wow, awesome power, great video, thanks for sharing.
That was awesome! How about a video that shows their landing?
Factoid: I remember a briefing where we were told that a cat shot equated to us pulling 5-7 "transverse" G's (through the chest)for that couple of seconds it took to throw you off the pointy end.
If that wasn't enough, when the pilot returns to his airport he will have to find out where it went. USAF airports stay put.
This has spiked my interest, anyone know of a carrier landing from a similar POV?
Note where the pilot's hand is during launch: He doesn't touch the stick till he's off the deck. The launch crew don't want him touching anything until he's on his own!!
Impressive! Used to prep the pre-flight briefings on the USS Intrepid (CVS11). Never got to experience a cat or trap, but I did hitch a chopper ride once in an SH-3 on guard duty, so I've watched this from aloft. Always cool. I'm curious about the F18's altitude by the video's end. Any pilots here care to estimate his angels?
omg - i feel the need...the need for speed! this is THE COOLEST!
awesome video
What a rush! We could use a thrill ride like that at the state fair.

Wow. I can't believe he went at the commissioner with his usual line of BS. That must mean he really believes the crap he's selling, or maybe getting put in your place by the commissioner is good for ratings.
Cowterd is *****ing about the Hornet's staying in NO. Stern told him we have more season tickets sold than most teams, sponsorship is higher than a lot of teams, the state will have a great lease agreement and the Hornet's projections in earning show they won't need revenue sharing. Once Stern shot him down about moving team, then he says the Hornet's should be contracted. Stern said first it's move them and then contract them, no reason for it.
Wow. I can't believe he went at the commissioner with his usual line of BS. That must mean he really believes the crap he's selling, or maybe getting put in your place by the commissioner is good for ratings.
What do you expect from Cowherd.
I don't take anything Cowherd seriously. Him and Mannix are such opinionated weasels.
Don't take it personally. This is what the national media is shoving down everyone's throat.
Formally known as WhoDatMan504
He hates small markets. But, what kind of league would it be with 5 or 6 big market teams. You leave out 90% of country.
I think its awesome Stern took up for us and said dude shut the yeahhhhh
What I like is how Stern pretty much shut him down hard. Cowherd threw his usual crap at the commissioner, and he held himself well. Stern knows what everyone else knows: Cowherd is just talking, nothing he says means anything.
What do those *******s have against New Orleans? Like us having two pro teams is somehow demeaning to their big market egos.
Why do you take it seriously? They have voices but it's not like they are used for anything more than entertainment purposes. Same goes for Skip Bayless. The only fool in the matter is the one who feels the need to respond to them.
What I take from this is how strong of a stance Stern took toward New Orleans. He was on with a host who's as hostile toward the Hornets in New Orleans as anyone in the country, and he stood firm. The fact that he was willing to stand up for New Orleans is a great sign for me.
I agree with both of these:
I am too glad that he's sticking by his commitment to New Orleans and seeing it through. If it doesn't work for the Hornets in New Orleans, it won't be because of a lack of effort. I commend him for that.
I think the all-star game held here is what changed his opinion of NO.
I didn't listen, but what response does Cowturd give? How do you defend your point of saying its not an NBA town, they should leave, etc. if this team sells 10k season tickets during a lockout with its 2 long time faces of the franchises on the way out?
Oh David Stern you bad boy, making me like you again.
I love things that **** Cowherd off. Bravo Stern.
LMAO, Stern talking down to Cowturd like a boss.
Oh my God, everyone has to listen to this, even if you think you didn't want to. Stern absolutely tears into Cowturd.
LOL. Thanks eman for sharing the link
Stern is wearing his *** out. And I love it.
LOL! Stern: "A source??!! I announced that at a press conference."
Thanks to wopester I took a listen, because I certainly didn't want to.
