Written by John Clifford on 01/21/2009
The South had a 5-wide set for their QBs early in Wednesday afternoon's practice and Clemson QB kicked things off with a completion to LSU LB-turned-FB-and for the Senior Bowl practices turned TE Quinn Johnson. West Virginia QB Pat White followed with a pass that Southern Miss TE drops, hitting his fingertips. Pat White then gets his turn to connect with Quinn Johnson. Johnson had to have helped himself this week by virtue of demonstrating good athleticism along with a versatile skill set.
Pat White and Alabama QB John Parker Wilson threw to Arizona WR Mike Thomas, Texas WR Quan Cosby, USC WR Patrick Turner, Ole Miss WR Mike Wallace, South Carolina WR Kenny McKinley and Florida State WR Greg Carr, who ran curl routes. The QBs were solid with getting the ball on time and on target, but hardly spectacular with release and velocity. With that in mind, the WRs were solid, but the sample didn't allow for spectacular.
On the slant routes, White had his best pass and catch of the week, rifling the ball perfectly to McKinley's hands just out front. The next route by Carr saw a completed pass by White, but the ball was too low for anything but Carr to scoop it into his body, slowing him down.
On double moves, deep to the left corner, WRs saw 3 horrible throws in a row - all short and inside, precisely where you don't want to miss. Cosby struggles with his route, but doubtful it matters given the passes thrown. There's no NFL package among the South QBs here, even if there might be an NFL arm hanging from someone's shoulder. The routes move to the right corner and the drill doesn't last long, there's no timing, nothing on target over 25 yards.
Running post routes, Parker Wilson left the ball badly behind Turner. White was slow in his release and hung up McKinley. I just watch a college completion. Clemson QB Cullen Harper joins in, thankfully, and throws a football pass, hooking up with Ole Miss WR Mike Wallace. White followed with an improved effort to Cosby, hitting him in stride. Harper connected with McKinley on a go route. Parker Wilson raised his play as well, throwing a better looking ball, perfectly timed to target Mike Wallace. Arizona WR Mike Thomas made an excellent one-handed catch, recovering from his cut on a deep out move. Cosby looked like a pro WR running a perfect route, snatching the ball out of the air with his hands out in front of his body in full stride with no loss of speed.
The Jaguars staff has the OL working in center to right or left tackle groups; as they have for a significant period of time this week, which hasn't been the standard here in Mobile. It's an interesting and different perspective, despite not being able to so acutely attribute the results or quantify the assessment of a particular player as when two of them face off.
In WRs facing DBs in 1-on-1s, Turner beat Jackson State DB Domonique Johnson but had to wait on the throw from Pat White. Parker Wilson had Wallace, but his pass flew right through his fingers. The overall execution is less impressive. Wake Forest DB Chip Vaughn makes a nice play to close in and break up a Parker Wilson deep ball. White misses Carr high on a terribly in accurate throw on a short crossing route. USC WR Patrick Turner on the same play has a terrible drop with the ball hitting him right in the hands.
Wake Forest CB Alphonso Smith makes an excellent play to close on the receiver and break up the pass, but turns it into a tremendous play to have the awareness of where the ball is upon deflecting it, grabbing it out of the air for an INT and drawing notable attention and reaction from the crowd.
White shows great placement to the outside on his throw to Cosby, so only Cosby could run to it. White's made some NFL-caliber throws, the level of inconsistency however, has been another story.
San Jose State CB Coye Francies appears to have the best jam and can play press coverage as well or better than anyone on the South, on this play the result is maintaining great coverage on Arizona WR Mike Thomas and breaking up the pass from Clemson QB Cullen Harper. Harper comes back to hit Cosby on time, but had Alphonso Smith merely turned around, at the very least it's not a completion. On the next throw, Carr makes a play over the defender because of the perfect placement on the pass. Pass to Turner is thrown behind him, followed by a ball thrown short on an out to the sideline intended for McKinley.
Tennessee OL Anthony Parker is being attended to for an ankle sprain that will require a cart.
The QBs got to work with the OL and DL out of the picture. Harper begins his series by checking down to Clemson RB James Davis, followed by outs to Wallace and McKinley. Harper made fairly accurate throws, but with none in a position to gain yards after the catch, questionable velocity.
Parker Wilson's throw on an out to the right side lacked significant velocity, but the next throw was much better, hitting McKinley on a curl with good placement and timing, allowing for yards after the catch. A nice throw splits defenders to hit FSU WR Greg Carr on a deep slant.

Maldives will be featured in "WONDER AIRPORT, Michiko and Yashima's Sky Travel-pedia", a popular travel programme on Japan TV Channel 4, BS-Ch4 (BS Nippon, A subsidiary of Nippon Television Network). This programme is telecast weekly on every Tuesday from 2200-2254hrs (Japan Time) reaching a vast audience of approximately 1.5 viewers in 2.3 million households nationwide. The Spot Commercial Value of the programme is 2,200,000 yen/30sec. That is approximately 27,848 US$ per 30 seconds.
The production team for the Maldives feature visited the Maldives from 5-11 June 2012. Apart from extensively covering the GMR Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, they also covered the capital city Male', aerial views with seaplane ride on Trans Maldivian Airways and Maldivian Airtaxi as well as the Beach House at Iruveli Maldives, Adaaaran Prestigevadoo and Hulhule Island hotel (Airport Hotel located at the INIA Airport).
The programme is about information on Airports and Airlines of the world. Out of the 8,800 airports in the world including hubs and local remote airports, they choose one airport for each programme. The airport is the main gateway to a country and every airport has its unique colours. Based on the theme of the programme, "The Airport is not just an entrance, It could be a destination" for the travel, the programme will show all information of the airport and the airlines. The camera will be roaming around the airport as a traveller to find interesting architecture facilities, arts, people, restaurants, shops and more, to present cities culture and trends as well as visiting Airline offices and facilities.
The Embassy of the Maldives in Japan coordinated this project together with the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation.
The total arrivals from Japan by the end of May 2012 is 13,023, which is a 1.6 percent decline compared to the same period in 2011. Japanese market has been stagnant for the past 5 years. In order to increase arrivals from Japan it is vital that we re-strategize market segmentation and product adaptation. More projects like these to reach to the Japanese market as well as having a constant positive presence in minds of the target market are vital to regain the arrivals from Japan.

OXFORD, Ohio - Sophomores scored all four goals, led by forward Austin Czarnik's two, to rally the top-seeded and third-ranked Miami University hockey team past Michigan State, 4-1, Saturday night at Steve Cady Arena. The win forces a deciding Game 3 Sunday in its Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) best-of-three quarterfinal series after the teams split the first two contests.
The RedHawks, who dropped Game 1 of the series, 3-0, Friday night, responded with more energy and determination Saturday, as they outshot the Spartans, 37-17. Miami also improved to 6-0-1 on Saturday following a series-opening loss on Friday.
"We had no effort (Friday) night. That was the message," Czarnik said. "We started battling in the pregame skate. That really got us going there and it just carried over into the game."
He continued, "We did a good job of attacking the net today. We got pucks to the net and won battles in front of the net. That was our key focus for today and we were successful with it."
Miami (23-10-5) trailed for the first half of the opening frame, as it allowed a goal in the first minute of action for the first time this season. Michigan State (14-24-3) opened the scoring on the power play just 28 seconds into the game after senior defenseman Steven Spinell was called for contact to the head - elbowing. Travis Walsh fed Greg Wolfe at the bottom of the right circle, setting up a cross-ice pass to Matt DeBlouw, who was unguarded near the far post for the putaway.
The RedHawks, however, wouldn't trail for long, scoring four unanswered goals, with the first two goals coming within three minutes of each other at the 10:38 and 13:01 marks of the first period.
Sophomore forward Jimmy Mullin, a Cincinnati native, redirected a freshman defenseman Matthew Caito shot from the point past MSU goaltender Jake Hildebrand, who tallied 33 saves. The goal, which tied the game, was Mullin's sixth of the season. Sophomore forward Cody Murphy also earned an assist on the play.
Miami took the lead for good after freshman forward Riley Barber's steal behind the Spartans' net led to a Czarnik short-handed goal. After the takeaway, Barber's initial backhand shot was blocked, but Czarnik was there to knock in the loose puck as it rested on the goal line. The goal was the sophomore forward's fourth short-handed score of the season, which are the most in the country. Barber, who tallied two assists Saturday, both on Czarnik goals, leads the CCHA in points with 38 and is also the top-scoring freshman in the nation.
"I thought we came out with some intensity (in the second period)," MU coach Enrico Blasi said. "When they made it one nothing, for us to tie the game and then to go up with a short-handed goal, that was huge."
Murphy put the RedHawks up, 3-1, in the second stanza, as he found the back of the net with 7:49 left in period. Caito tallied his second helper of the game, finding Murphy, who skated through the neutral zone and ripped a hard wrist shot from the top of the left circle. The goal was Murphy's 10th of the season while he finished with two points on the night.
Miami outshot MSU, 20-5, in the middle frame and finished 0-for-1 with the man advantage in the period, the RedHawks' only power play of the night. The Spartans were 1-for-4 on the power play Saturday.
Czarnik padded the host's lead midway through the third period, as he beat Hildebrand with a wicked, top-shelf backhand shot. Barber, who found Czarnik from behind the net, and senior defenseman Joe Hartman earned assists on the play.
Freshman goaltender Ryan McKay was solid in net for the RedHawks, making his fourth straight start and seventh start in Miami's last eight games between the pipes. He finished with 16 saves, holding the opposition to a goal or less for the 13th time in 19 career starts.
The RedHawks host Michigan State in the third and final game of the CCHA Quarterfinal playoff series Sunday night at Steve Cady Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. Tickets for Sunday's game can be purchased here. The winner of Sunday night's Game 3 advances to the CCHA Semifinals next Saturday, March 23, at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich.
"Here we are," Blasi said. "We have to play tomorrow night, that's why they call it a series. We have to be ready to go."

On the northern flanks of the Kaisergebirge Massif you find lovely Walchsee, one of Tirol's most idyllic holiday resorts embedded in mighty rock faces and surrounded by gently rolling hills. The great variety of Alpine landscapes of the charming Kaiserwinkl Region lends itself to outstanding holiday activities. A real gem is Lake Walchsee, one of the warmest swimming lakes in Tirol, inviting tired hikers to take a refreshing swim in summer. During the winter months the Kaiserwinkl Region boasts a huge network of Nordic skiing trails while families and children will have fun in the nearby Zahmer Kaiser ski area – a great spot especially for beginners.
Simply relaxing or enjoying active holidays? Mountains, Alpine lakes and picture-book little villages make a breathtaking backdrop for memorable summer holidays. Everything is possible: take a refreshing swim at Lake Walchsee, indulge in the gorgeous views of the Kaisergebirge Mountains. There is nothing more calming than a warm summer's day by the lovely lake with plenty of sunshine and picture-book panoramic vistas. How about some water adventures like kayaking or water skiing? Swimming is just one of the many summer activities available in scenic Walchsee. Holiday makers can choose from a myriad of fantastic walking paths, hiking trails and mountain biking routes. Additionally, the area features 3 golf courses – one 9-hole golf course is located right at Lake Walchsee, embedded in the stunning Alpine scenery of the Wilder Kaiser mountain massif.
Scenic Kaiserwinkl ranks among the secluded winter sport resorts with high snow reliability, endless sunshine and glittering slopes. Enjoy winter at its finest in Walchsee – far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Cross-country skiers explore the marvelous area on 244 kilometers of wonderful Nordic tracks spread all over the wide open Kaiserwinkl, one of Austria's most renowned areas when it comes to cross-country skiing. Among the favorite Nordic trails are the secluded routes through the "Schwemm" region, North Tirol's largest marshland in the immediate surroundings of Walchsee.
Passionate walkers and winter hikers can choose from incredible 80 km of cleared winter walking routes leading to Kaiserwinkl's most romantic spots. Great snowshoe hikes promise awe-inspiring panoramic views of the valleys and mountains. A small but fine ski area can be found on the northern flanks of the Kaiser Mountains: Zahmer Kaiser ski center offers 15 kilometers of immaculate slopes ideal for families and children, including also a child-friendly chair lift and varied practicing ski lifts. Also the nearby Hochkössen ski area at Unterberghorn is within easy reach – a free shuttle bus takes both skiers and snowboarders to the mountain gondola station.

Lady Falcon Softball Swept in First Road Trip at Carson-Newman; Boever Homers in Game Two
February 9, 2013
JEFFERSON CITY, T.N. - Pfeiffer University softball suffered their first sweep of 2013 as host Carson-Newman needed just five innings in each game to take 9-0 and 9-1 victories on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles improve to 4-0 on the year while the Lady Falcons fall to 3-3.
In the opener, Carson-Newman would use a three-run homer to cap off a four-run first frame while a two-run single, run-scoring single and Lady Falcon error quickly added four more for the hosts in the second. A RBI-triple accounted for the Eagles final run in the fourth. Jessica Jackson and Emily Workman would account for the only two Pfeiffer hits in game one. Shelby Brown took the loss inside the circle.
Game two saw the Lady Falcons come out and grab a 1-0 lead on Jaclyn Boever's first collegiate home run with a solo blast to center in the top of the second. Another Pfeiffer error would start a Carson-Newman rally in the third as two quick runs led to a 2-1 Eagles lead. Things turned ugly in a six-run fourth as a bases-loaded walk, two-run single and three-run homer in three-straight at-bats blew open game two. Carson-Newman would add the game-ending run an inning later in the fifth. In addition to Boever's round-tripper, Celia Dew added the only other hit as the Lady Falcons came up with just two hits again in game two. Sam Jarmusch suffered her first loss of the season inside the pitching circle.
The Lady Falcons will quickly get back to action on Sunday at home taking on Wingate. Pfeiffer will try to erase Saturday's memories with a 1:00 p.m. first pitch. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The Concept of Non-self in Buddhism
The concept of Anattā (non-self or absence of separate self) in Buddhism has always been the main subject of confusion among the followers. Now, let us analyse this. Simply, it means - Now you see it; now you don't. This is what the concept of emptiness in Buddhism is all about - absence of static entity. Nothing stays unchanging even for the slightest moment at all times. By the time you think who you are, you are already not the same you seconds ago. So, where are you to find the original static of you as you assume along every passing moment?
At the end of the day, you could only see a stream of you constantly passing by on every slightest moment. So, I repeat, you could only see a stream of you; not the one stop entity of you. Just like, you could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you. The stream of you would mean you are part of the becoming processes that arise in the nature. All different shapes and forms that exist in the nature or the so-called you as being are merely momentary outcomes of the constant and continuous becoming processes in the realm of existence.
Under balance phenomenon, one could witness shapes or forms arise; under imbalance phenomenon, one could see no shapes or forms arise - and the cycle of conditional phenomena continues repeatedly. Finally, the stream of you is devoid of inherent existence. It means that you do not exist independently by the definition of physical container that you always assumed to be. You are merely the results of energy or matter orientation that evolve constantly and continuously in a plane of space at all times.
In other words, you are just like part of the Lego pieces or bricks that can be assembled and connected in many ways, to construct such objects as vehicles, buildings, and even working robots - anything constructed can then be taken apart again, and the pieces used to make other objects. When one is fully awakened on the principle of emptiness or non-self, the state of egolessness in oneself would arise concurrently. This realisation is part of the fundamental routes to enlightenment as prescribed by the Buddha.
What is Suffering?
The word 'suffering' seems to appear in every corner of Buddhism. And generally, one would tend to associate suffering with pain, agony, sadness, and all sorts of negativity in one's life time. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the eyes of the Buddha.
For general understanding, the meaning of Dukkha or suffering would be 'to bear with' in the Buddhist context. Any circumstances that would involve one - to continue with; to persevere with; to soldier on with; to carry on with; to undertake with; to go through with would mean suffering. Literally, it is not so much about oneself associating with the condition of unsatisfactoriness, pain, agony, joyful or happiness; for these conditions reflected as the consequences of Dukkha arising.
'To bear with' is to suffer and the antonym of it is 'to let go'. So, stop submitting yourself to the conditional circumstances and you would be freed, be liberated and be disappeared!
Cure the cause; not the symptoms!
What is Heaven? What is Hell?
For general understanding, Heaven or Hell is not a respective plane of existence waiting for exclusive memberships. Instead, it is the 'member' that has made up the self-qualifying arrangement for the chance of Heaven or Hell to arise. Just like, inhabitant is a necessary pre-requisite for any villages to exist; without it, the village would be impossible. Therefore, once again, Heaven or Hell is not a plane of existence to be found 'up-there' or 'down-there' waiting to be filled in by the so-called rightful elements.
In fact, Heaven or Hell is simply next to your mind, your eyes, your ears, your consciousness, your sub-consciousness, etc. When a person lay dead on the ground, the three basic elements i.e. energy, matter and space elements would separate from each other. Precisely, both conscious and sub-conscious (energy) aggregates would depart the body (matter).
However, only sub-conscious aggregates would sustain in liberated forms but not the conscious aggregates. The switch of conscious aggregates would be turned off and it would not carry on beyond the graveyard. But the sub-conscious aggregates that have no switch for on or off-turning and would stay behind in the so-called soul or spirit forms.
And it is the characteristics of the sub-conscious aggregates that would determine the next plane of existence for the so-called soul or spirit. Therefore, one should not miss the chance of moulding the sub-conscious aggregates in correct manners before kicking the bucket! For instance, it is right to say that good begets good, evil begets evil. When one pays to live a Hell-like condition in the present life time, one would be repaid in the next phase of existence as in Hell. Just as sow apple seeds, reap apple fruits; sow orange seeds, reap orange fruits or Action 1 conjures up Reaction 1; Action 2 conjures up Reaction 2.
So, when one is dedicating one's life towards Hell-like conditions, then the sub-conscious aggregates would retain the so-called 'Hellish' information that would carry on surpassing the demise time period. The retention would only weaken through conscientious goodwill prayers or persuasions being performed by the third parties (transference of merit).
Therefore, please be aware of the nature of circumstances that you are exposed to or associated with during your lifetime. And if possible, it is beneficial to create Heaven-like ambience at all times; more importantly during the closing chapter of your present life. This is because where you ended up to in the next phase of existence is dependent on the retained information in your sub-conscious aggregates - be it Heaven-like or Hell-like ones.
In conclusion, the fate in your next life is very much dependent on the characteristics of your sub-conscious aggregates. It is the originator or architect for the Heaven or Hell realm. Mould it well at all times and if possible, be enlightened to eradicate the suffering of it.
Once again – be freed, be liberated, be disappeared!
What is Enlightenment, Awakening, Nirvana?
Nirvana is a phenomenon beyond all conventional phenomena. Conventional phenomenon is subjected to conditional & duality influences – in continuous & constantly changing state of affairs. Nirvana phenomenon would arise when there is non-existence of conditional & duality influences – a complete neutralising state of affairs.
There is no mind, no thinking, no becoming, no changing, no evolution, no clinging, no wanting, no impermanency in Nirvana. Moreover, Nirvana is not about wanting for nothing. In the first place, there is no wanting to begin with, therefore, wanting could not be the cause for nothing. Letting go is not the same as giving up hope (a frustrated expression). Not to hope is not to become; not to become is not to cling and suffer.
So the choice is yours ultimately – to hope & suffer or not to hope and not to suffer. There is no right or wrong choice – but simply wholesome or unwholesome choice. Wholesome would mean seeing things as they truly are & in totality of perspectives; unwholesome would mean seeing things as they delusively are & in non-totality of perspectives. As such, for one to be awakened or otherwise is entirely a personal aspiration and not a commandment of sorts.
In Buddhism, there are no commandments to be found; no hierarchical ranking between followers, etc. All sorts of authoritative claims based on personal gratifications are purely egocentric in nature and devoted followers must not put in their faith blindly on anything; come what may.
To see it, know it and let go – no need to grasp it – this is how one practises 'Seeing things as they are' – see only with eyes and mind, don't get into any involvement; more importantly – let go the self and ego factors.
Be freed, be liberated, be disappeared!
Energy? What is it about? How does it derived?
What is energy? It is generally described as the ability to cause change or do work. So, we are here talking about some sort of 'ability' to cause change or do work. Now, the next question would be, 'Where on earth the ability does come from?'
For general understanding, conditional phenomenon is a necessary pre-requisite for energy to exist; without it, existence would be impossible. Let us conduct in-depth analysis into conditional phenomenon.
Conditional phenomenon is also known as dependent nature of phenomenon. While emptiness of phenomenon is static, dependent nature of phenomenon is dynamic – but why dynamic instead of static? It is because there is rise or fall event. Why is there rise or fall event? It is because there is balance or imbalance event. Why is there balance or imbalance event? It is because there is becoming event. Why is there becoming event? It is because there is ignorance in the dependent nature of phenomenon.
In other words, when one realises on the emptiness of phenomenon fully, the vicious cycle of dependent nature of phenomenon would come to an end. All things would then become static or frozen indefinitely or permanently.
Once again, energy is the fundamental element for all existence. Even the so-called soul or spirit or ghost is part of energy aggregates as it could positively be detected by the modern day electromagnetic devices.
Law of Karma & Science
Law of Karma is a natural phenomenon law discovered and realised by human civilisation long time ago; so as all the natural law principles testified and verified by modern scientists. In other words, the natural phenomenon law has ever existed since the dawn of time with or without any discoveries by human beings.
For general understanding, law of Karma is a comprehensive law that runs in phenomena full of complexity and way beyond the simple and straight forward action-reaction principles discovered by modern scientists. If we look intently at the Newton's 3rd law of motion and law of Karma, both laws did share similarities in certain extent.
For instance, it is correct to say that good begets good, evil begets evil. When one pays to behave like an animal in the present life time, one would be repaid in the next life as an animal. Just as sow apple seeds, reap apple fruits; sow orange seeds, reap orange fruits or Action 1 conjures up Reaction 1; Action 2 conjures up Reaction 2.
Law of Cause & Effect in Motion
Generally speaking, there are two categories of motion – constant and variable motion. When we mention that the rising force of something would generate a new equal opposing force (law of balancing), we are actually referring to action or cause and reaction or effect process under constant motion phenomenon.
But under variable motion phenomenon, the law of balancing would orientate in a unique harmonising mechanism. Let us look at the following illustrations: -
Constant Motion
Under constant motion circumstance, come factor equals to become factor: -
Come factor = Become factor
Variable Motion
When come factor accelerates, the relative become factor would decelerate: -
Come factor ↑, Become factor ↓
(End results: Mental & physical progresses slow down à time dilation circumstance in Einstein's special theory of relativity).
When come factor decelerates, the relative become factor would accelerate: -
Come factor ↓, Become factor ↑
(End results: Mental & physical progresses speed up à ambience of meditation. For now, we know that meditation is the way to speed up the path to Enlightenment and that is why monks or nuns need to become celibate and disengage themselves from the common society before re-engage again for spreading Dhamma.)
More examples: -
When a car stops suddenly in a quick action; the reaction process becomes slow down in relative to the action and this is a basis for greater inertia effects – serious injuries on the passenger.
When a car stops steadily in a slow action; the reaction process becomes faster in relative to the action and this is a basis for lesser inertia effects – mild injuries on the passenger.
When one launches a bullet towards a target – too fast an action would take the target longer time to react relatively.
If compared with launching a throw of baseball – slower an action would give relatively longer time for the target to react.
When one runs water on a piece of paper in low velocity; the atoms or molecules within the paper have sufficient time to react relatively quicker to hold tight as a scale unit and vice versa.
In reality, we always exist in motion that varies under the influence of conditional phenomena and this scenario coincides with the Buddha's saying that the working result of Karma was one of the four unconjecturables and to speculate about it would bring madness and vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.
What is Space? What is Time?
Some people may say that time is an illusion and does not exist after all. So, what actually is time? Frankly speaking, time is something that is created; not born (a non-natural existence). Time is an indicator for event; whereas length, width & height are indicators for size and volume. All these indicators belong to a category named as dimension. In other words, dimension is created for the task of measurement per se and therefore, not something that arises out naturally.
Also, time is a scalar factor. A scalar refers to a quantity or phenomenon that exhibits magnitude only, with no specific direction. Example of scalars include speed, mass, electrical resistance, and hard-drive storage capacity. Any interval of time is also scalar - it has magnitude only.
On the other hand, space is a natural element in the realm of existence; just like energy and matter elements as well. Space is merely a plane for all activities of existence i.e. the orientation of energy or matter elements under balance and imbalance conditional phenomena. Presently, scientists have discovered that space has three spatial dimensions (length, width & height) and one temporal dimension; that is time. In cosmology, the concept of spacetime combines space and time to a single abstract universe. In fact, there is another X-factor dimension exists to accommodate for non-discerning circumstances.
As a summary, we could mention that the three spatial dimensions were created for expressing all existence under static phenomena and the combination of 3 + 1 + X-factor dimensions were created for expressing all existence under dynamic phenomena.
What actually happens to an object under accelerating motion?
When an object is set under accelerating motion, the becoming process of the object would be stretched as compared with a relative object that is set under constant or decelerating motion. In other words, the becoming process of the object has been slowed down comparatively; not the time has been dilated or slowed down. Time would only assume the expression that the becoming process has slowed down and not the other way round.
The principle in effect: -
Time is an expression that becoming process exists;
Becoming process is not an expression that time exists.
Length, width & height are expressions that size & volume exist;
Size & volume are not expressions that length, width & height exist.
Shadow is an expression that object & light exist;
Object & light are not expressions that shadow exists.
Effect A is an expression that Cause A exists;
Cause A is not an expression that Effect A exists;
Cause A is an expression that Effect pre-A exists.
In other words,
When no cause arises, no effect would arise;
When no object & light arise, no shadow would arise;
When no becoming process arises, no time would arise.
Similarly, the word of time has been used frequently for expressing different scenario of becoming processes, such as follows: -
NO TIME = an expression of no opportunity for a new becoming process to begin.
TIME TO TIME = an expression of moving from past to present becoming process; present to future becoming process.
TIME PASSED SLOWLY = an expression of hoping for a faster becoming process.
TIME DILATION = an expression that becoming process slows down.
Once again, time is a dimension because it is a scale of measurement created for gauging event of changes. Therefore, time could not be self-sustainable and has no entity. For one to reflect time as an entity is a point of view based on delusion, just like the misconception of self entity in beings. When there is no becoming process, there is no time. So, time does not exist in Nibbana.
What is Time travel? Possible?
Is it possible for someone to do a time travel to change on his or her destiny? Yes, it is plausible but with conditions. Generally, time is defined as a non-spatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. In other words, past thoughts or actions would determine the present conditions; whereas, present thoughts or actions would determine the future conditions. Whatever things or events happening now are the consequences of past events taken place. Like a saying - I shall reap for what I sow.
When one has a chance to a do time travel it does not literally mean that one could do this; do that; undo this and that at whim and fancy. No, there can be no reshuffling of happenings. It is just like a saying - Seeing without sensing. In other words, one can do a time travel to the past or future condition from the present condition but has no influence on it. But then, one may ask since everything has been pre-determined or destined, what is there left for a change? Frankly speaking, while one can't change the past condition, adjustment can still be done to the present condition to reduce the impact on the future condition.
One may have heard that some trained individuals or high ranking monks could relate future events while sustaining their physical form in the present phenomena by doing time travelling in the same plane of existence. This is what we commonly known it as future visions or de-ja vu experiences and it could save lives. Let us take an illustration of a forest at Mountain Island surrounded by a sea or ocean. Supposedly, Person A inhabits on lower ground within a dense forest and Person B inhabits on top of the mountain far-off from the dense forest.
On one fine day, there was an underwater earthquake miles and miles away from the island. Both Person A and Person B could not feel anything on the earthquake. But the earthquake has set off Tsunami and it was fast approaching the Mountain Island. Still both Person A and Person B continued with their respective daily activities with no inkling of the Tsunami approaching them.
But being positioned at the top of mountain, Person B has an added advantage. He could see the Tsunami from far distance and fast approaching the Mountain Island as compared with Person A who could see nothing but surrounding of trees. Person B has estimated the Tsunami would hit the island in 10 hours time and immediately alerted Person A who still has no idea about the imminent danger.
At the end of the day, we could conclude that underwater earthquake is equated to past condition; Person A and Person B is equated to present condition and Tsunami is equated to future condition.
So, can Person B prevent the Tsunami from hitting the Mountain Island? The answer is a Nay. But can Person B make adjustment on the impact caused by the Tsunami? The answer is a Yea. In addition, one could also do a time travel into another world of existence and return to relate one's unique experiences. Let us take an example of the Buddha's experience on achieving Nibbana while still sustaining in the Samsara world. Literally, time is absent on Nibbana and all elements - energy, matter and space are practically frozen.
When one does a time travel to the plane of Nibbana, one could literally glance at the plane of Samsara all events passing one after another from the present condition to past condition until the beginning of events. It is just like the vision from a stationed podium on a moving train locomotive and coaches.
Crystal ball
From direct experience, time travelling to the future condition is plausible and could be evidently proven. detailed excerpts pertaining to several of my future visions or de-ja vu experiences that have taken place: -
The sinking of a boat in Johore.
– April 29, 2009
The death of Michael Jackson.
– June 25, 2009
The political situation in Malaysia revealed by Wikileaks.
– December 15, 2010
The simultaneous big floods in several countries.

I am kind of glad I am not raiding so far in this expansion. There's so much to do at level 90, and I'm having a lot of fun just taking it slowly. I've decided to focus on two factions: Golden Lotus and the Tillers. I do their dailies, and maybe an instance. I don't need to log in every day. Eventually I'll switch to another faction, maybe when I hit revered. But there's more than enough content to sustain me for a long while now.
Meanwhile, I look at all the raider blogs out there, and they're all tearing their hair out. So much stuff to do, and they all have to do it right now.
I wrote a post a couple years ago, Optional, that still applies today, more than ever:
Sometimes it seems like this genre has no concept of the term "optional". Something is either absolutely necessary, or it is useless. There doesn't seem to be any in-between.As far as I can see, Blizzard has tried to thread the needle here. They've tried their hardest to make the factions optional, but still give good rewards for those who do them. Feasts give good stats, but if you focus on cooking, you can get a tiny bonus.
And yet, have they succeeded? I don't think so. Judging by the blogs in my reader, the higher-end raiders can't pace themselves, and look to be burning out.
I guess I'll end this post the same way I ended the post two and a half years ago:
Maybe it's better for the designers to assume that players will have no sense of moderation or sanity, and will take every possible step to gain any potential benefits. Then design the game to severely limit the amount of possible steps to keep players from hurting themselves.

The BMW 3 Series is the company's top seller in the United States and a favorite in the marketplace for good reason: It's a classy entry-level luxury car endowed with world-class fit and finish, spirited performance and an exquisite ride-and-handling balance unmatched by most vehicles at any price. That's true no matter which model or year you choose, as generation after generation of 3 Series has offered the same benefits despite constant evolution. Accordingly, buying a used 3 Series is a solid bet -- there's nary a bad apple in this barrel.
As for the new 3 Series, it's slightly larger and faster than its predecessor, yet lighter and more fuel-efficient. It also boasts a bolder look inside and out, revised suspension and steering, and more interior space. Although some may argue that the car's sporting edge has been blunted a bit, we still find the 3 Series sedan and wagon exceptionally rewarding to drive. If you're looking for the current coupe and convertible, note that they're now known as the 4 Series and are reviewed separately.
Current BMW 3 Series
Today's BMW 3 Series is offered as either a sedan or a wagon. It's broken down into 320i, 328i, 328d, 335i and ActiveHybrid 3 models. The 320i and 328i sedans and 328i wagon get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces either 180 horsepower (320i) or 240 hp (328i). The 328d sedan and wagon are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel-powered four-cylinder that also makes 180 hp but considerably more torque; highway fuel economy is impressively in the low 40s. The sedan-only 335i gets a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 with 300 hp. The ActiveHybrid 3 sedan pairs the 335i's engine with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, resulting in a healthy 335 hp; however, fuel economy is about the same as in the 328i.
Transmission choices are limited to a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic, with the former unavailable in the wagon and ActiveHybrid 3. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all 3 Series sedans, while all-wheel drive is available on the sedan (except the ActiveHybrid 3) and standard on all wagons.
Standard features on the base 320i include alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, manual front seats, leatherette upholstery, Bluetooth and the iDrive electronics interface with a 6.5-inch display. The 328i upgrades to power front seats, while the 335i and ActiveHybrid 3 throw in larger wheels, xenon headlights and a sunroof. As usual, the options lists is long and strong, including everything from a hard-drive-based navigation system with a larger display screen to a Dynamic Handling package with a sport-tuned suspension and variable-ratio steering.
In reviews, we've lauded the exceptionally well-rounded nature of this 3 Series. Whether you're devouring miles on the interstate, running errands around town or making time on your favorite back road, the car always feels up to the task, even if its electrically assisted steering is less engaging than what previous generations of the 3 Series offered. Inside, drivers will find a restrained show of luxury, with an emphasis on comfort and involvement. The supportive seats underneath are complemented by a clean, clear analog gauge cluster dead ahead. The four available design "lines" -- Luxury, Modern, Sport and M Sport -- add visual spice to what has historically been a rather drab interior. Materials and build quality are exceptional; even the standard leatherette (vinyl) upholstery looks and feels better than one might expect.
Overall, if you can afford the price of admission, the BMW 3 Series is still the standard-bearer in the compact luxury-sport class. Thanks to its wonderfully balanced dynamics, powerful and efficient engine lineup and wide range of configurations, the 3 Series earns our very strong recommendation.
Used BMW 3 Series Models
The current, sixth generation of the 3 Series bowed for the 2012 model year. You may have to look twice to tell it apart from the previous generation, but a close inspection reveals a more voluptuous hood and sleeker taillights, among other changes. There's also an overhauled dashboard, revised suspension tuning, a new electrically assisted steering system, BMW's adjustable driving settings and additional feature content. Furthermore, the backseat has been enlarged to accommodate adults with greater ease.
Initially, the current 3 Series was offered in 328i or 335i trim with rear-wheel drive. For 2013, all-wheel drive was added to the roster, and both the 320i and ActiveHybrid 3 sedans debuted. The wagon and the diesel engine were introduced for 2014. Notably, the previous-generation 3 Series coupe and convertible were sold alongside the current-generation cars from 2012-'13, while the 4 Series was readied for production.
The previous, fifth-generation 3 Series debuted in both sedan and wagon form for 2006. Compared to the earlier 3 Series, it boasted bigger dimensions, new styling, updated electronics and improved performance. Originally, the model designations were 325i and 330i. The former was powered by a 215-hp 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, while the 330i featured a 255-hp 3.0-liter inline-6 engine.
BMW introduced the 328i and 335i model designations and associated engines for 2007, as well as the redesigned coupe and convertible. This was the first year for the 328i's 230-hp 3.0-liter inline-6 and the 335i's 300-hp engine. Also, the 3 Series coupe could be equipped with all-wheel drive for the first time.
For 2009-'11, a 335d sedan model was sold that featured a 3.0-liter diesel-powered inline-6 that produced 265 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. Its blend of power and fuel economy was unmatched at the time. Other changes for 2009 included freshened styling for the sedan and wagon, as well as the debut of the "xDrive" moniker for all-wheel-drive models (replacing 328xi and 335xi). The high-performance 335is arrived for '11, as did slightly better fuel economy for the 335i's turbo engine that year.
This fifth-generation 3 Series provided perfectly sorted vehicle dynamics, strong engines and excellent interior build quality. If that sounds familiar, it's because these qualities have been 3 Series hallmarks for decades. The only notable downsides to the car are limited interior storage space and mediocre rear passenger space, even in the sedan and wagon. Used-car shoppers might want to pay special attention to the iDrive electronics interface that came with the optional navigation system -- it was considerably less user-friendly prior to 2009, so we suggest playing around with it before signing on the dotted line.
The highly regarded fourth-generation ("E46") 3 Series debuted as a sedan for the 1999 model year. The coupe, convertible and wagon models fell in line a year later in 2000. This iteration of the BMW 3 Series never failed to impress as a top choice in the segment. Our editors consistently attested that the E46's world-class suspension, engines, steering and brakes made it a delight to drive, while its interior design and overall quality satisfied those desiring luxury and prestige.
Originally, the available engines included a 170-hp 2.5-liter inline-6 (curiously dubbed the 323i) and a 193-hp 2.8-liter inline-6 in the 328i. You might want to look at the newer models, though -- for 2001, feature content and engine technology were boosted, and all-wheel drive became available. The 2.5-liter model was renamed 325i and produced 184 hp, while the more powerful model was renamed 330i based on its new 3.0-liter, 225-hp engine. An exterior face-lift for sedans and wagons arrived for 2002, with the coupes and convertibles following suit for 2004. Detail improvements like navigation, bi-xenon headlights and rain-sensing wipers helped carry the 325i and 330i BMWs through the remaining few years.
From 1992-'98, BMW's 3 Series was in its third generation ("E36"). Even though these 3 Series models are getting on in years today, they were peerless at the time when it came to combining luxury and sport. Body styles included a sedan, a coupe, a convertible and a short-lived hatchback. Engine choices ranged from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder to a 190-hp six-cylinder. In general, any BMW 3 Series from this generation that's been well maintained and has low mileage remains compelling, though keep in mind that maintenance costs can easily outstrip the car's market value within a few years.

Fun and chraming birth announcement
I had told my daughter I would take care of her birth announcements, since she'd be so busy with her newborn and the holidays were approaching. I searched for something unique online and found Magnet Street, and decided on this small card that is actually magnetic. It was easy to upload a photo (we chose one with the newborn in a Santa hat) and then play around with the all of the colors and fonts, until we landed on a combination that "popped". The product was in my hands 5 days after I ordered them! The magnet is substantial - a good thickness, not flimsy at all. The cost was reasonable, especially in the larger quantities we needed. They are darling and I know my granddaughter's likeness will be stuck on lots of refrigerator doors and bring joy to family this Christmas!

Amanda Bennett:
We need a heroic narrative for death
Amanda Bennett and her husband were passionate and full of life all throughout their lives together — and up until the final days, too. Bennett gives a sweet yet powerful talk on why, for the loved ones of the dying, having hope for a happy ending shouldn't warrant a diagnosis of "denial." She calls for a more heroic narrative for death — to match the ones we have in life.

Buckcherry kicks off three nights at the Viper Room on March 7. Photo: Armando Brown, for the Register
Josh Todd experiences very little in moderation. The 42-year-old frontman for Buckcherry has lived his entire life in excess. Confessions, the group's sixth effort, allowed Todd to explore – or rather confess – each vice via tracks reflecting those seven sins, including the one he finds hardest to resist: lust.
"I've been in a rock band since I was 15, so lust, that's a tough one," he says, looking down at his tattoo-covered hands. Todd and lead guitarist Keith Nelson took a break to chat before playing the Viper Room in West Hollywood last week, where the group, also featuring guitarist Stevie D., bassist Jimmy Ashhurst and drummer Xavier Muriel, played three nights in celebration of the new disc.
This small, dark venue with rich rock 'n' roll history, sticky floors and a greasy stripper pole in a hidden back room, is where it all began for Buckcherry. It's fitting that the club formerly co-owned by Johnny Depp painted the band's logo in white over its black façade facing the Sunset Strip for this run.
"We wanted to take this all back to the beginning and do some really intimate shows for the fans that have supported us," Todd says. "We worked so hard in this club to build a following, and we even got signed out of here for the first time, so it's kind of neat to see it come full circle."
The guys recall sitting in this same cramped dressing room in 1997, waiting nervously to perform for several label reps. Nelson: "I was sitting here like 'Really? Are we about to get a record deal?'"
"I was just hoping it was packed out there," Todd adds, laughing. "When you're doing a showcase for a record deal, it's gotta be packed. I remember sitting right here and sweating."
Buckcherry, then known as Sparrow, did get signed to DreamWorks that night, and a year and a half later released its self-titled debut and first single, "Lit Up." But Todd's memories of the Viper Room date back further. When he left Mission Viejo for L.A. in the '90s, he lived on Clark Street directly across from the venue, then called the Central.
"I played here in a band called Slamhound, and man I have a lot of memories," he says grinning. "I used to get really (messed) up on the street. I'd drop acid and come to this liquor store right here on the corner and get alcohol. Then I'd go across the street and climb on top of the Whiskey on a weekend and just watch everybody on the boulevard and trip out all by myself. That was crazy."
From O.C. Parties to the Sunset Strip
Long before he was this slender, confident, tatted-up singer, Todd was an O.C. surfer kid with a gigantic record collection and no clue how to be in a band.
He went to Anaheim Hills Elementary School and nearby El Rancho Junior High School, then moved to Mission Viejo where he attended Trabuco Hills High School. But he was troubled and got into drugs and alcohol at an early age as he tried to cope with the death of his father, who took his own life when Todd was 10.
Music was his escape. Yet Todd recalls being asked to front his first band while still unsure how to sing. So he plugged into an amp and started screaming.
"It was just a little punk rock band, and I remember my first day I was like the conductor. I was just like 'play a riff, something original' and I got on the ground and started writing lyrics and melodies. We ended up writing some cheesy song, but it made me feel good. It was like I had found what I wanted to do."
Venues weren't open to underage players, so Todd and his friends would host house parties in South O.C. They'd sucker an adult into buying a keg, set up in a living room or backyard and charge $3 a pop.
"Our first show was horrible," he says. "I sang off-key. The band didn't know they actually had to tune the guitars. But everybody loved it because they were hammered and we were playing something that sounded vaguely familiar. I just faked it 'til I made it. I did that for a long time."
During those formative years he'd also head to L.A. with his older sister to check out shows. The more he frequented the Sunset Strip, the more he realized he had to get out of O.C. After graduation he packed up his Toyota truck, dropped a hit of acid, drove to Hollywood and moved into an apartment.

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - Want your student to do better academically? Make sure breakfast and physical activity are part of their day. That's the key message from a statewide event called the Learning Connection Ohio Summit. Key Ohio school leaders are joining forces to explore the science of nutrition and physical activity and their link to how well students perform in school.
National statistics from The Wellness Impact: Enhancing Academic Success Through Healthy School Environments show that only 38 percent of all teenagers eat breakfast every day.
"Schools play a critical role in ending childhood hunger by connecting kids with healthy meals that do much more than provide essential nutrition. They improve a student's ability to focus and thrive in the classroom," said Duke Storen, Director of Partner Impact and Advocacy at Share Our Strength. "For example, research shows that the seemingly simple act of ensuring that children get school breakfast offers the potential for students to experience greater academic achievement, increased job readiness and ultimately more economic prosperity for our nation. Stronger, better nourished kids mean a stronger America."
Rowe will focus on school meals and cognition, exploring the importance of providing access to food, and how a healthy diet relates to schools and their child nutrition programs.
"USDA is focused on improving childhood nutrition through healthier school meals and greater access to school breakfast and summer meals," said Audrey Rowe, Administrator of the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. "Through the leadership and hard work of Ohio Action for Healthy Kids, the American Dairy Association Mideast, Children's Hunger Alliance and our other dedicated partners, we are beginning to see progress and improvements in the health of our nation's children, ensuring that America's next generation is healthy, well-nourished, and able to achieve great things."
Also on the agenda for this event is discussions on the role physical activity plays in the school day. Additional presentations will include information on the role of recess in school, how to include movement in the classroom and ways to integrate wellness to support the learning environment. Former Ohio State Buckeye & NFL football player, Greg Bellisari, MD; and current co-host of ABC-6 The Football Fever, Doug Lessells will be joining the program to lead a physical activity demonstration and facilitate a question and answer session.
School health and wellness tools such as the "Fuel Up To Play 60" program which encourages students to choose nutrient-rich foods and be active for at least 60 minutes every day, will also be highlighted at the Summit. Children spend 2,000 hours every year in school, which makes it a smart place to encourage kids to eat right and get moving.

10 Start-Ups Looking to Profit from a New Space Race
To infinity and beyond!SpaceXPlanetary ResourcesBlue OriginsPlanet LabsKymetaOrbital SciencesDeep Space IndustriesStratolaunch SystemsSkyBox ImagingMasten Space Systems
What would you do if you were a billionaire and wanted to go to space?
The obvious answer: use that money to start a company to help you do just that.
In recent years, some of the most famous names in tech, like Microsoft's Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, and Amazon's Jeff Bezos have been founding and investing in companies that are looking to the stars.
Whether for personal dreams of adventure or for profit, these companies are doing the engineering and basic science needed to get humans into space.
They're also looking at other opportunities that space provides, like access to resources that are hard to get on Earth and the ability to collect information about our planet from a different perspective.
--Kyle Russell
This article originally appeared on Business Insider.
Disclosure: Jeff Bezos is an investor in Business Insider through his personal investment company Bezos Expeditions.
The "other" company from Tesla founder Elon Musk. In the short term, it's building rockets and capsules to get astronauts to the International Space Station. In the long term, it's looking to make trips to Mars somewhat affordable by creating rockets that can be used many times, like the "Grasshopper" (left), which can take off and land instead of simply falling into the ocean.
With financial backing from Google's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, "Avatar" director James Cameron, and others, Planetary Resources is looking at revolutionizing the tech world by mining nearby asteroids for metals that are extremely rare on Earth but found in abundance in space.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is well-known for his love of all things space. While he founded Blue Origins in 2000, it's only in recent years that he's become more open with the progress his company is making towards making manned spaceflight affordable.
Using 28 miniature satellites known as "CubeSats," Planet Labs aims to provide more detailed and more frequently updated images of our planet than have previously been available. These photos will allow for traffic maps and environmental data to be more accurate than ever.
Like other companies with backing from Bill Gates (who both provided initial cash and contributed to a $50 million venture round), Kymeta is a company looking to make a positive social impact. The company plans to use orbiting satellites and low-cost receivers to provide Internet to vehicles and also to isolated areas in the developing world.
Though it has a background in launching satellites and missile defense systems, Orbital has been making great strides in recent years towards providing vessels for NASA, putting it in direct competition with SpaceX.
Like Planetary Resources, Deep Space Industries hopes to mine asteroids for materials that are worth insane amounts due to their rarity on Earth. The company plans to identify viable asteroids in the next two years and begin mining within a decade.
Founded in 2011 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, Stratolaunch is looking to make spaceflight more affordable by using massive, lightweight planes to do most of the work of getting people and cargo off the ground.
With backing from CrunchFund's Michael Arrington, SkyBox is deploying a fleet of miniature satellites, much like Planet Labs. The company is looking to use these for a much wider range of uses, however, including oil and natural gas site selection, reporting of natural disasters, urban planning, and agriculture.
Based in Southern California, Masten is dedicated to making advanced, reusable rockets that can take off and land vertically many times, in the same vein as SpaceX's "Grasshopper."

GasBuddy Blog
The streak is over, folks. At least for now. GasBuddy data showed the national average rising for 32 consecutive days- starting January 20 at $3.265/gal, and ending February 21 at $3.733/gal. The tide has now turned and the national average has dropped two days straight. This is certainly excellent news for all of you disillusioned motorists- but I would caution you not to get overly thrilled as prices may linger near these levels for some time.Meanwhile in Canada, prices have risen to 129.3c/L, 2.6c/L higher than last year at this time. Prices may continue to rise in Canada over the next several days before they too stall out.However, to start the new work week, it does appear that crude prices are lifting gently as...

Turner, 47, told dispatchers he was being followed after some kind of confrontation before getting onto the highway around 3 p.m.
He told police someone in the other car -- it was unclear if the it was the driver, or if there were other people in the car -- brandished a semi-automatic weapon at him.
Then, they shot him.The person in a gray, newer-model Ford Taurus with tinted windows pulled aside Turner's car, firing several shots, Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies said. Turner was able to pull over to the shoulder, where he died.
"The caller stated that he had done nothing to cause someone to follow him," said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter.
"We're going to have to reconstruct [exactly what happened] from the 911 tapes," said Sheriff David Gee. "We know that we have the shooting apparently on the tape."
Police asked the public to report anything they might have seen that could help track down the as-yet unknown suspect.
