To allow negativity into the Coptic Conference or not, that is the question.
This weekend's spiritual event at the Holiday Inn, 101 W. Springbrook Drive, set out to help, among other things, enlighten attendees to new ways of thinking. That would extend to how one should handle negative energy and negative people. Attendee Rebecca Lewis-Carico thinks negativity should be welcome at the event, which held more 400 people. Without emotions like negativity, people won't be able to develop a coping mechanism with how to deal with it, she said.
"Negativity is always a learning lesson," Lewis-Carico said.
She joked that she and a friend were just joking that the Coptic Conference isn't a trip to Disneyland, where everything is necessarily supposed to be overly happy at the expense of reality. That being said, she said the event draws many like-minded people who are developing their own high understandings of spirituality and how to use metaphysics to help them know how to become what she calls "heart-centered."
The event, titled "Who Are You? Celebrating the Oneness of the I AM of a Powerful Spiritual Being," put on by both Coptic Fellowship International and the Tri-Cities Metaphysical Study Group, was set to run through an action-packed Sunday before the convention wrapped up for another year. Entry into the convention is free, but tables and services outside the speaking presentations were available at a cost.
The kind of people drawn to the metaphysical conferences often show up because of the strong sense of friendship that came together through networking. There was a specific table outside one of the convention rooms that gave guests a chance to connect with each other through various resources.
"When events like this take place," Lewis-Carico said, "it's like a mecca."
Her religious reference may not have been a mistake. Director of Coptic Fellowship International John Davis said the event was going extremely well, with all the speakers of various backgrounds and the reception and reactions they're receiving from attendees. The point of the whole thing is simple to Davis — welcoming everyone and being respectful of each and every one of the world's religions.
To show this, Davis said, he and other organizers displayed mini flags of each of the world's nations at the base of the stage that would feature many of the diverse speakers, including Sherry Anshara, PMH Atwater, Patti Conklin, Chief Golden Light Eagle, Robert Huttinga, Roy Martina and Michael Tamura.
Just around lunchtime Saturday, Tamura was speaking to the crowds about how to consider their inevitable deaths, but that it failed in comparison to the eternal spiritual life. Through jokes and promotions of positivity, Tamura delivered his message that the spirit is immortal.
"Last life, I died at Hiroshima," the Japan native joked to the crowd. "It was a blast."
He said that death is an instant, but living is the hard part, having to suffer through corrupting thoughts in the brain and even gravity itself, which is beating up each of us.
In an interactive exercise with the crowds on hand, Tamura had the crowd relax, close their eyes and take deep breaths before picturing themselves sitting on a big tree trunk that connects to the middle of the planet. He asked that each person go inside themselves to picture their spinal cords attaching to the tree trunk so they could link to the Earth's energy. From that connection, he asked that each try to tap into that energy and feel it flow into their person, leaving the bad energy and negativity behind.
Outside at a book signing after, he met a woman named Eileen who was told her name meant "light" and that she probably had psychic powers throughout her life.
Carol Bartley came all the way from Dayton, Ohio, for more than her 10th year in a row. She said she's a dowser and attends conferences for that as well, but Johnson City's Coptic Conference always leads her list as the must-go event of her year.
"I've listened to two talks that have given me personal messages that relate to me," Bartley said. "And that's all I'm willing to say. They really struck a nerve."
She's a big proponent of disallowing negativity at the conference, but anyone is welcome. Though she was brought up a Christian, she said each person can come to events like this one and find their own individual truths.

The street marches in Brazil, initially non-party-political, have begun to take on the hues of leftwing political and social groupings, which are now trying to set the course of the movement that emerged from online social networks.
MST – Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra) which is now joining the protests.
"Since young people do not have a mass organisation, the social classes have begun an ideological debate. They dispute the young people's ideas in order to influence them," Stédile said in an interview with IPS.
"On the one hand is the bourgeoisie that used Globo (Brazil's largest broadcaster) and other media outlets to put the right's demands in the mouths of young people and on their placards. On the other hand is the left and the working class, that are trying to get on to the streets to push their own agendas," he said.
In Stédile's view, the protests broke out because of an urban crisis resulting from the current stage of "financial capitalism."
He listed factors like property speculation, which has raised rents and real estate prices by 150 percent over the last three years, and stimulation of automobile sales, which has led to "chaotic" traffic, without effective parallel investments in public transport.
"Young people are not apolitical. They are doing politics in the best way possible, in the streets. But they are not linked to political parties. They do not reject the ideology of the parties, but their methods," Stédile said.
Sociologist Emir Sader offered other explanations, like utopian ideals, rebelliousness and "healthy disrespect for authority" that he said were characteristic of young people.
Meanwhile teenage demonstrator Rafael Farías told IPS young people have "warmth and intuition, and they heard the call."
"We are young and we want to be noticed," said Farías. And their voices were heard by the executive, legislative and judicial branches, which have already come up with some short-term solutions, such as lowering transport fares, creating anti-corruption mechanisms, devoting more resources to health and education and debating a much-postponed political reform.
But the voices of the young have also reached the ears of social organisations and the wide spectrum of leftwing parties, including the governing Workers' Party (PT) of President Dilma Rousseff. Another PT leader, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2011), himself urged it to join the protests.
According to Lula, the right must be prevented from "appropriating" the movement and "pushing" the government to the left in order to "deepen the changes."
Stédile said "It is not about putting slogans into the mouths of young people. They have their own, and the simple fact of taking to the streets and showing their anger is a political contribution for the whole of society."
"The problem is how to mobilise the working class, because when it gets going it can achieve structural changes and strike at the interests of capital and the mass media," he said.
The strategy has already shown results in the most recent demonstrations, which have had more diverse demands and participants, including trade unions and movements for the rights of women, gays, peasants and indigenous people.
"We are trying to mobilise the working class and include issues that are of interest to workers and all Brazilian people," the MST leader said.
In addition to increased public spending on healthcare and education, they are calling for a 40-hour work week and heavier taxes for the rich and a lighter tax burden on the poor, and for elections campaigns to be fully funded by public financing.
And demands of a less urban nature are being raised, such as speeding up the demarcation of indigenous territories and land reform.
Social movements have different issues on their agendas, such as suspension of mining concessions and oil block auctions.
"In my opinion, the uprising has a social and economic basis," Stédile said. "Instead of giving the young people political direction, it is necessary to put the working class in motion, in other words, to get poor people and workers also out on the streets. That is the challenge."
These sectors must regain the representational space on the streets that they lost over the last decade of government by a party led by a trade union leader like Lula, with his long track record and high prestige, with whom they identified but from whom they became gradually distanced.
"The left in general became bureaucratic in its methods, although leftwing groups of young people in many cities were quite influential and were responsible for organising the protests," Stédile said.
Sader, a PT activist, said "the left has to fight for the leadership and direction of this movement with a clearly popular and democratic orientation."
This is a well-known strategy in Latin American history, which some analysts doubt is effective, while others support it.
"This movement has an increasingly plural agenda. People are crying 'enough!' Although specific political groups are trying to capitalise on the movement, its outcome has yet to be seen," historian Marcelo Carreiro told IPS.
For his part, economist Adhemar Mineiro said: "The government would do well to depart from the tracks to which it returned with the old discourse of adjustment and competitiveness, and address the masses on the streets to discuss a new development model."
Trade unions' and social organisations' ability to call people out on the streets will be seen on Jul. 11, when they have convened a national day of protests and strikes.
"We are aware that the media and conservative and rightwing sectors are attempting to influence the mobilisations with goals that are opposed to the interests of the majority of the Brazilian people," said the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) central trade union, one of the 77 organisations behind the Jul. 11 strike.
That is why "the organised participation of the working class is vitally important in this new scenario, to ensure a positive outcome for this situation," it said.

Dress for Success Houston had many reasons to celebrate - or, rather, to throw a memorable bash at their new 3310 Eastside digs: $350,000 raised at the first permanent DFS facility in the world. The 16,5000-square-foot modern building designed by Ziegler Cooper created a multitiered party ambiance for the 350 gala goers such as Lindsey Kowalkowski, Mia Gradney and Kile Spetz
The night centered on Girl Power between the "girls only" chefs from Brasserie 19, Coppa, Canopy, Sparrow, Indika, Cuchara and A Fare Extraordinaire and the haute chicks of string quartet Flashdrive. Far from being another boring chicken dinner, chairs Cathy Fitzpatrick Cleary and Joe Cleary and Nilofaur and Amir Molavi created a moveable feast as DJ III-Set helped avoid any dull lulls.
Winning the award for best gala smile goes to founder and president Nancy Levicki whose ear-to-ear grin symbolized a job well done (Levicki spearheaded the capital fundraising campaign). Cheering to DFS' bright future were Berthica and Hugh Fitzsimons, Courtney Hopson and Kelli and Eddie Blanton


text: Columnist Ron Smith states that our economic collapse is inevitable ("When will collapse come?" Sept. 16). As a tea party guy, I hold out hope that there will come a day when voters put enough pressure on our politicians that they see the light and we start paying down our debt to avoid that collapse. But seeing as how Senate Leader Harry Reid just inserted federal funding to create more bike paths into one of the bills going through Congress, I can see why Mr. Smith would conclude that our politicians don't get the gravity of the situation with regard to the debt.

Base Figure:
Dragonball Z Ultimate Figure Series Super Posable: Gogeta
4.00 inches
Over a year of hard work was put into these 3 customs I'm uploading (Soldiers of the Gods from my Web Graphic Novel series, Ryu's Krew. I spent the majority of that year working on sculpting.
At first, I started out with 3 NECA Street Fighter IV Ken figures, and I ended up not really liking how it was coming out, and eventually my Dremel tool broke (it wasn't a Dremel brand rotary tool, it was an old Craftsmen one) so I got discouraged. Maybe two months after that occurred, I got reinspired. I went into my back garage to peruse my old figures I would play with as a kid, and came across my set of super poseable Dragonball Z figures. Remembering how much joy I had, I looked at these, and knew that these were the perfect base figures for my project. Plus the face shape, and even the pants seemed perfectly for them. No other figure I could find would've worked better in my opinion.
So, a few months of sculpting on and off, working with the most basic of tools; an exacto knife, a box cutter, a small razor blade, and some sandpaper, I managed to finish the sculpting. Sculpting obviously took the longest, because I sculpted everything. I didn't use any other parts on the figures, except switching out Archound's arms (which I'll talk about in his submission). So needless to say, all these figures were done by hand.
Painting also took quite a while, lots of small mistakes I had to sit and correct. I spent about a day each on each figure just painting and perfecting. Eventually I got it right. The figure was first painted with a base coat of white, then the different parts were all painted using Testors Model Master Acryl paints, which I've found to love. I then gave him (all of them actually) a wash of black to make it look darker and more comicy, and to finish it all off, I took an ultra fine sharpie marker to add in different lines here and there, to really make it look like my comic. I put crosshatching at the bottom of his pants as I would in the comic. The eyes and nose were actually colored in with the sharpie.
Ryu is the leader of the Soldiers of the Gods, the trio of Soldiers that dedicate their (after)life to the Gods for the sole purpose of defending them and carrying out whatever order they ask. In this case, it is finding and killing Loki for his crimes against the Gods. Ryu is a noble, courageous leader, he commands his brethren in a friendly, yet meaningful demeanor. A born leader, his past as a leader of a gang helps him get through the toughest of obstacles.
Just keep in mind that these are my very first customs ever, and I've never sculpted or painted figures before this (aside from my previous attempt with the Street Fighter IV figures, which I won't show). And every detail was done by hand. No dremel tool, nothing. Enjoy.

Arizona Coyotes
Former Coyote Ray Whitney lashes out at NHL owners
During his two years in the Valley, no one -- outside of Shane Doan -- was probably more respected in the Phoenix Coyotes' locker room than veteran Ray Whitney.
Whitney, who recorded 77 points during the Coyotes' run to the Western Conference Finals last season, has already been through one lockout. At age 40, he's not exactly thrilled about having to sit through another one.
After signing a two-year deal with the Dallas Stars in the off-season, Whitney was anxious to get started with his new team. But with the NHL's latest cancellation of more games and the 2013 All-Star Game, it doesn't look like 'The Wizard' will be skating any time soon.
Here's some of the comments he had for ESPN.com on Friday following the announcement.
"We have to stop the cycle of work stoppages. It kills the game. And I'm not saying this to kiss up to them, but it's not fair to the fans."
"To be out this long, for a game that was thriving, to be doing this kind of damage to the league makes no sense to us as players. To me, it just shows a lack of respect for the game by the people in charge. They're not really hockey people, they didn't grow up loving the game of hockey."
"They're like schoolyard bullies right now; they want everything. That's not negotiating.With us coming down to 50-50 [split of revenues], I don't see the need for this to go as long as this has."
Take them however you'd like, but it's clear a player as respected and revered among his peers as Whitney is, isn't just speaking for himself in the latter stage of his career. With over 400 total games, the Winter Classic and the All-Star Game now cancelled, time is running out for the players and owners to save their season.

Is it better than the Iomega 2TB MiniMax Hard Drive FireWire 800
- Asked by Michael V
G-Technology G-RAID Dual-Drive Storage System
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
This type of subjective question is impossible to answer. How do *you* define "better"? Cost? Performance? Reliability? Power consumption? Warranty? Technical support from the manufacturer? Quality of the instruction manual?
Think about what is important to *you*, which may be different that what is important to any other randomly chosen person. Once you know what is important to *you*, then you can assess multiple products accordingly.
Otherwise, you're just asking for peoples' opinions without providing any framework for assessing their answers.

Jonti-Craft has always been committed to employing the highest quality construction techniques available. Historically, that has been their popular dado construction. After years of research, they also innovated a dowel pinning construction technique that launched a new generation of Jonti-Craft quality products. Jonti-Craft products are KYDZStrong, always built from the strongest materials available. Their Rainbow Accents furniture is constructed of 5/8" thermo-fused melamine board - the highest quality in existence. All Birch furniture is constructed of eleven ply 5/8" Baltic Birch plywood. Items requiring solid wood are constructed of Northern Hard Maple, which is stronger than oak. Their trademark safety features include famous KYDZ Hinges, full length piano hinges attached with a minimum of nine screws, each the strongest and safest hinges available. They feature a 270° pivot, making it difficult to separate them from the unit. Ultimately, this minimizes the chance of pinching little fingers. Their popular rounded KYDZSafe edges and corners provide maximum safety for children in busy classrooms and daycare centers. In their Rainbow Accents line, the KYDZSafe edges are highlighted in vibrant color with a flexible edge-band thermo-fused to the furniture for exceptional durability and safety.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lovefppl In Love <3 <3 <3 I've seen so many nice bags come and go and I drooled but just couldn't justify the prices but this one was just too ME to let it get away.. first I want to say that I thought the leather straps would be a hassle to get in and out of but I just leave them unbuckled and very easy entry without having to zip and unzip like other bags. I normally go for short barrel type bags just because I work a lot from my car and need the convenience of not digging at the bottom of a deep purse ..this one is absolutely perfect! Not too deep and not too wide. All of the outside pockets make it so easy to grab what I need and sooo very Boho chic! Well made and durable. The button and patch accents set it off and give it that small bit of extra character. Since I know I will be using this one for years to come the price was justified to me. I don't see this one wearing out like many leather bags but instead wearing in. The pics are pretty accurate but much nicer in person. If you are on the fence I say go for it! Glad I waited for this one! 2.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Well Made Perfect size for short jaunts with plenty of room for all your valuables. Not too big and not too small. Lots of usable pockets including a zippered one inside. The stitching and construction are well done, and the fabric is a good heavyweight canvas. The shoulder strap is heavy duty cotton webbing, and the leather straps are midweight. The sandstone color way looks pretty true to the onlne images. The double buckles are kind of a hassle to get into the bag, but they are great if you are worried about things not being secure. The American flag patch and Steve McQueen pocket snap are nice touches. 2.13.2013

New Study Shows Animal-Based Testing of Drugs and Chemicals Puts Unborn Children at Risk of Birth Defects
Drug and Chemical Tests Using Animals Fail to Predict Birth Defect Risk Half the Time
WASHINGTON—Pregnant women may unknowingly be putting their unborn children at risk of birth defects by taking over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs, and using common household chemicals, according to a new study published in the May issue of the research journal, Biogenic Amines.
"The Future of Teratology Is In Vitro" shows that many common drugs and household chemicals have been certified as safe for humans on the basis of animal tests that are accurate on average slightly more than half the time.
"We are betting the health of our children on odds just slightly better than a coin flip," said principal author Jarrod Bailey, Ph.D., project development coordinator at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne School of Population and Health Sciences.
Potential teratogens—drugs and chemicals that can cause birth defects during pregnancy—are tested on animals, including mice, rabbits, dogs, and monkeys. None of these animal tests can accurately predict how the substances will affect humans, said Dr. Bailey. "There are simply too many differences in physiology and biochemistry," he noted.
As a result, researchers test drugs and compounds across a wide spectrum of species, a practice that leads to conflicting and often useless results. Among the examples cited: Cortisone has teratogenic effects on every animal species tested, but none in humans. Valium can cause fetal malformations in humans during the first trimester of pregnancy, but causes none in rats.
According to the report's authors, "Virtually all known human teratogens have so far been identified in spite of, rather than because of, animal-based methods." The answer, said Bailey, is in vitro, or test-tube based, technology. "Embryonic stem cell tests (EST) are more effective in detecting potential embryotoxicities than tests using animals," he said.
"It is time to admit that animal-based testing is an abject failure," Bailey added. "An estimated 50,000 to 70,000 new chemicals and up to 400 new drugs are introduced to the market every year. Every year we delay, every year we continue to rely on animal testing, brings us that much closer to another tragedy like thalidomide."
Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

This stretch of Broadway south of downtown Denver used to be known as a mecca for antiquers.
The past few years, Antique Row has earned some new nicknames. Broadsterdam. The Green Mile.
That last one is not a reference to such garden stores as Birdsall and Co., but to state-licensed, medical marijuana shops that have proliferated and now have begun to open to recreational users.
The neighborhood is changing. Birdsall owner Annie Huston can smell it — literally.
But odor is a minor issue, the garden store owner said, and she expects a quick end to the other problem — the extra competition for parking since Jan. 1, when her neighbor, Evergreen Apothecary, started selling marijuana to any adult. All in all, she regards the store as a good neighbor.
"We have not seen anybody using outside, or even in the alley," Huston said. "It's been really organized and the store has been really sensitive to (other) retail stores."
Mostly gone are the noisy — but never rowdy, Huston says — throngs that lined up in the first week of the year. Instead, there's a steady stream of customers that at most extends five or six deep outside the door.
Co-owner Tim Cullen said his store sees about 300 to 400 sales a day — in line with industry estimates of shoppers at the more than 50 recreational stores that have gradually opened since the new year began and sold $14 million worth of marijuana in their first month.

The caped, pointy-eared count with a stereotypical Transylvanian accent was, for some reason, a magnet to children. Even his pet spider couldn't repel them. But, of course, it was really the sugary goodness that drew them in ? kids probably didn't even notice the count's wiry fingers or single sharpened incisor hanging from his jaw.
"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) An attorney in northwest Iowa wants to install bulletproof office windows and other safety measures at the Woodbury County Courthouse.
Attorney P.J. Jennings says he wants to add safety measures like door guards and electronic locks to the third and fourth floor offices where prosecutors work. He says the confrontational nature of some cases can upset the public and cause trouble.
The Sioux City Journal reports the County Board on Tuesday cut Jennings' $75,000 request from his proposed budget for the next fiscal year, arguing security improvements are needed throughout the courthouse. One board member says one plan would be to add metal detectors for people entering the building.
Jennings says he doesn't want the issue to languish while the board researches the best option.

What is Dorothy House?
Friends of Dorothy is a initiative to be supportive of people with AIDS. Since October of 1992 it has offered home-based care to people with AIDS in a variety of ways, including recuperative or hospice care, supportive housing and emergency assistance.
The primary focus has been on hospice care. There is an informal relationship with Hospice of CNY. Dorothy's guest becomes their client, with Hospice providing medical care and nurse visits. Where as Dorothy Hosue is the primary care givers, much like extended family members.
"While we try to offer hospitality to one hospice patient at a time, we sometimes are able to take in two at once. We try to remain flexible, and meet the needs of each of our guests to the best of our ability."
None of its guests are charged in any way for the services provided. Dorothy House is solely dependent on the financial support received from individuals in the community. For more info: friendsofdorothysyracuse.com/index.htm
It is a Cahotlic Worker House. The Catholic Worker, a layperson's movement started in the 1930s by Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day, has become a model and challenge to many who seek to live out, here and now, the social values of the Christian gospels.

Progress on many frontsSaturday, March 5th, 2011
The boat blog has awakened from a long winter's snooze—oh, let's be honest, a coma. But its author has had his hands full with teaching, working on a new book, and of course Nil Desperandum.
There's progress to report on
many fronts. The deck is painted, toerails in place, the homemade portlights and deadlights completed, bowsprit installed, and most of the annoying finish details in the cabin have either been taken care of or dispatched to the "hell with 'em" list.
One of my great worries has been checked off: The spars are completed.
Sails are on order, and a bright idea to save $500 with a homemade jib furler reluctantly abandoned. One of my boatbuilding friends, Joel Bergen, looks at things with an engineer's eye and pointed out that these relatively delicate homemade furlers only work if one doesn't demand too much of them. My Devlin Winter Wren II depends on four shrouds and a forestay to hold up the mast, so the furler has to transfer the tension of the forestay to the bowsprit. You can't take a chance with any less-than-robust link in this system.
Preposterously, I'm close to $15,000 in costs for materials and parts to date. Major expenses still remaining include the rigging, electricals, and trailer.
However, I've been saving by
making a lot of components myself. In the last blog I detailed building the wood-and-acrylic portlights, which would have cost some $250 each if I had bought bronze or stainless steel commercial units. (Okay, less expensive aluminum and plastic counterparts exist, which in connection with wooden boats should be held in the same regard as wharf rats.)
For the deck, I bought a $5 jar of silica sand, masked off the areas that needed a nonskid walking surface, sprinkled the sand into wet paint, then after it dried rolled on a couple more coats of paint. I can't predict how it will hold up in use, but at least for now it looks remarkably good and seems effective. Overall, the deck now wears six coats of Interlux Hatteras off-white.
The spars do not at first look like a bargain. I bought three 19-foot 2x4s of Sitka spruce from Edensaw Woods in Port Townsend, which came to a breathtaking $500. Sitka grows only in a narrow swath within 10 miles of the Northwest coast and is in worldwide demand for guitar tops and piano soundboards. But Sitka's high strength-to-weight ratio makes it the absolute best wood for masts, and $500 is a fraction of what custom-fabricated aluminum (wharf rats) mast and boom would have cost.
I started by trimming the boards to rough size, including a bit of tapering, with the table saw. Because weight is so critical in the mast, I routed out a one-inch channel in the center of each of the two mast boards before gluing them together. This subtracted two pounds, maybe not worth the trouble.
Now I had a great 4×4 stick tapering roughly to a 3×3, which did not yet resemble a mast.
The next step was to turn its square section into an octagon. A power planer would have done it quickly, but there's no other tool that scares me as much. I took out the lovely Lie-Nielsen jack plane Patty gave me for Christmas and did it the hard way, by hand. Then I planed each of those eight corners to make it a hexadecagon. And then I massaged it into a more-or-less circular section with power and hand sanding.
This was the toughest physical work I've done since 2003, when I hiked the Arizona Trail for a magazine story and had to lug my companion photographer's gear a vertical mile out of the Grand Canyon because the bastard was a smoker and discovered he couldn't breathe at 7,000 feet. (Surprise!) The planing took three days, and every fiber of my body, except maybe my eyelashes, ached.
Yet, the hand plane was a joy to use.
|Eighteen-foot-long shavings emerged from it, automatically curled themselves into Sitka Slinkys, and feathered to the floor. I could feel the mast's correct shape emerging under my fingers, no need for a fancy laser sight. I would not want to try to building a boat entirely with hand tools—I'm a pragmatist, not a masochist—but using this plane here seemed to help my hands develop an intelligence they have not had before. Such work restores connections between human and nature that we've been in danger of losing. And finally, it's a pleasure to use a tool that's better than I am, rather than the inverse.
The next step drew a small crowd of neighbors, who could barely believe their eyes. Chris Cunningham, a skilled boatbuilder and editor of Sea Kayaker magazine, kindly loaned me a giant lathe that he'd built with a junkyard motor, old nylon wheels from a skate, and assorted bits of scrap wood and hardware. I clamped one end of the contraption to the firm foundation of my table saw and the other to my workbench nineteen feet away, and spun the mast in between.
OSHA would have had a cow, but Chris's contraption worked very well. The forty-pound mast twirled at about 200 rpm while I rasped away at it with power sander and then sheets of sandpaper held by hand. It never became a perfect circle—it retains a slight oval shape, which is fine for a mast—but it emerged from the lathe smooth and ready for the varnish shop.
I wish I could report that the varnishing had gone as smoothly, but it didn't. It never does. Varnishing is a sorcerer's art, and the inevitable runs, drips, and sags are in full anarchy mode on a long, curving surface. It's now six coats deep, and the best I can say is that it's done.
So what's left? The electrical wiring (which an engineer friend has graciously volunteered to oversee), the cabin top and its terrifying sliding hatch, and a constellation of nagging details in the cockpit and cabin. Then we put it on a trailer (more friendly engineers needed) and move it outside for the rigging, which I don't know much about.
But as I related, often painfully, in The Year of the Boat, I knew how to do absolutely none of this stuff when I began building my first boat five years ago. Far From Perfect and Nil Desperandum have been a sweeping education in a whole array of manual skills as well as a postgraduate degree in patience, perseverance, resilience, adaptability, and accountability.
Nil Desperandum is registered for the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend September 9-11, which means she needs to be in the water by early August for sea trials and the inevitable issues that will need fixing or rethinking. It's an intimidating deadline. And it already feels like a pivot point of life.

A horn starts off the track, as if to warn of impending and absolute doom. Low viscosity masses of bass effortlessly march forward stratified under a confident melody, Jamie xx spindling Romy Madley Croft's moaning cries over foggy instrumentals. The xx's musical poetry chimes in and out, dropping off in tune with the methodically slow beats almost to nothingness, like the edge of a harrowing cliff.
Quite possibly the most ingenious part is pretty rudimentary. For those who are intimate with the lyrics of the original, expectations are that Romy will utter "basic space," but boom!, listeners, you are fooled. Jamie xx slices up the word basic to yield an elongated, impassioned "bassssssss." Absolute genius, and my favorite facet of this track. The entire thing is composed of simple ingredients, each on its own might be unimpressive. The conglomerate, however, is just astounding; oozing cool and sex appeal with every note, this is a remix for the ages.
For more from Jamie xx, check out his awesome Essential Mix from earlier this year here.
Sounds like: iamamiwhoami, La Roux, Christine and the Queens

Women have a wider field of vision than men. I can see quite well out of the corner of my eye, whereas my husband needs to turn his head to see objects at such wide angles. This is quite noticeable when he's driving and, take it from me, can be dangerous at times.
This may even be associated with men's inability to handle several tasks at once. They are great at concentrating entirely on one job, but ask them to remember to hang the washing out when the cycle is complete and their brain is overloaded.

Young people in Australia view scientists as 'nerds and losers' isolated from the rest of society. This is the conclusion of a survey of school students conducted in Sydney and Melbourne for the Australian government's Department of Industry, Technology and Commerce (DITAC).
The science minister, Ross Free, told ANZAAS that the results of the survey were 'worrying'. Such 'negative perceptions' had serious implications for Australia's ability to attract young people to study and pursue careers in science and technology, and to provide skilled people for the future, he said.
According to Free, a former science teacher, the as yet unpublished report also reveals that schoolchildren think of scientists as 'lonely . . . they devoted their lives to hopeless causes while everyone else was looking after number one . . . they were not accepted in society, because they did not want to be'.
The survey was conducted for DITAC ...

Courses You Should Have Taken
Another Fifth Monday has come and gone, and everyone's schedules have been finalized. While some of us are already regretting not dropping Math 21a, others are more than thrilled with their schedules. A select group of students had the ingenuity to choose courses that are truly out-of-the-box.
Same Story, New Book: Repackaging Humanities at Harvard
Recently, national news outlets have declared a crisis of the humanities. But at Harvard, the plot gets more complicated. The challenges facing Harvard's humanities necessitate changes to course offerings far more than the core of the humanistic enterprise.
How To Pick the Right Concentration
If you're a sophomore, you're probably freaking out about having to declare your concentration by mid-November (and by even earlier for some programs). To help you avoid picking the wrong one, Flyby compiled a cheat sheet detailing some possible areas of study.
The folklore and mythology concentration saw two of its seven junior concentrators make PBK's "Junior 24," while large concentrations like government and economics saw just one concentrator apiece make the list.
Few Hit Jackpot In Course Lotteries
As the number of interested students in some already oversubscribed classes continues to grow and Pre-Term Planning data at times fails to accurately predict student interest, professors face the dilemma of how best to accommodate students while still maintaining the quality of their classes.
For Creative Concentrators, A New Happily Ever After
Folklore and mythology recently joined English; literature; studies of women, gender, and sexuality; and visual and environmental studies in offering some concentrators the option of working on a creative project as a senior thesis.
Pre-Term Planning Data Shows Increased Interest in CS
Pre-Term Planning data for Spring 2012 indicates an increased interest in computer science classes and suggests that a few courses with capped enrollments will be competitive.

It soon became evident that it would take a full-time person to manage the project. In May 2012, the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce agreed to apply for an Americorps grant. If approved, the grant would help provide a full-time person to work on the project. In July, the grant was approved and a search began for a suitable individual to staff the position. As luck would have it, a recent graduate of Indian Lake Central School applied for the position. On October 1, 2012, the Americorps member began work full time on the project. As of this writing, there are more than 400 jobs posted on the website, with more being added every week.
The next step is to create educational opportunities. Teleworking jobs usually breakdown into two categories — those that require experience and education in a particular field, and those that present opportunities for entry-level positions. For the latter jobs, seminars in digital literacy and customer service are needed.
Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
That is the underlying motivation behind the Adirondack Teleworks Project. We already have good libraries and many good business groups. How can we help them be more effective? By using information supplied by employers to create the necessary seminars, we will be more efficient. The plan requires that the classes be available through a network of libraries inside the Blue Line. Promotion of the classes will be through chambers of commerce, business alliances and economic development entities. Going forward, we will be meeting with town officials, business groups and library officials throughout the Adirondack Park to help coordinate these efforts.
One last thought — As we travel around the Adirondack Park, we meet many people, groups and committees working hard to improve their local economies. If we represent each of these groups as a musician, then certainly within the Blue Line we have many fine musicians. What we do not have is an orchestra! There is too much duplication of effort and not enough coordination between groups. Too many violins and not enough French horns! Adirondack Teleworks intends to help all of these hard-working groups work in harmony.
For more information on the Adirondack Teleworks Project, or if you would like to be added to our mailing list, contact Alyssa Cuthbert at Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce by calling 648-5112 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

NSMC Improves Patient Safety with New PICC Placement Technology
NSMC's Salem Hospital is first in New England to use system
Long-time North Shore Medical Center (NSMC) IV therapy nurse Maureen Lawler, RN, couldn't be more enthusiastic about the new electrocardiogram (EKG) guidance technology now being used at Salem Hospital to place Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs).
|Salem Hospital IV therapy nurses Gail Koontz, RN, (left) and Nancy Sabogal, RN, with the new Sapiens PICC line guidance system.
"This is a major step forward in how we deliver care," said Lawler, Clinical Leader of IV Therapy. "This new technology allows us to place a PICC line in a manner that is faster, safer and more cost-efficient than our previous method."
NSMC's Salem Hospital, which went live with the new PICC system in November, is the first hospital in New England to employ this new technology. Union Hospital, also part of NSMC, will implement this new positioning method in coming months. NSMC is a member of Partners HealthCare.
"PICC lines are safe, reliable intravenous lines that allow patients to receive medication, blood products, nutrients, chemotherapy and other IV fluids essential to their treatment," saiddd Kathy Jones, RN, Nurse Manager for IV Therapy. "They are placed in the arm using a local anesthetic and can remain in place for days, weeks and even months. These lines keep patients on schedule for their intravenous therapy and blood draws while avoiding the pain of multiple needle sticks that would ordinarily be necessary."
Traditionally, a PICC line is inserted into a vein in a patient's upper arm above the elbow and advanced across the chest until it reaches the Superior Vena Cava (SVC), one of the largest veins in the body, located above the heart. To ensure that the PICC line is positioned correctly, a chest X-ray has commonly been required--a step no longer required with the new technology.
The new Bard Sapiens Tip Confirmation System, as it is called, which has been used in Europe for more than a decade and increasingly in the United States, combines ultrasound for vein assessment and access, magnetic PICC tip tracking, and an electrocardiogram for final confirmation of location in the chest.
"Nurses can now 'see' the PICC line as it is inserted, receiving immediate and continuous feedback as it enters the SVC and is securely positioned," explained Lawler.
"The data from the EKG reading is far superior to the traditional X-ray," added Jones. "Now we know, right at the bedside, where the PICC line is located, eliminating the need for an X-ray and any delays associated with getting it processed and read by a radiologist."
The new system also helps NSMC meet safety guidelines set by the Joint Commission around reducing X-ray exposures for both patients and clinicians.
Approximately 85 percent of the 800-plus annual PICC line insertions performed at Salem Hospital are expected to be done using the new Sapiens technology.

DEEP RUN — In the basement of Heath and Aaron Geiman's house, a tiny black lamb is living in a cardboard box. His cries are like a baby's, but his kick is more powerful.
"He's got plenty of energy," Heath said, as the lamb jumped up like a puppy, begging somebody to lift him out of the box. Aaron reached down to stroke his head.

The US government's obsession with secrecy has once again ensnared innocent Americans. In a probe to discover untrustworthy federal workers the government ended up investigating people who had no connections to the government but had simply purchased books that were deemed suspicious.
The books were on how to beat a polygraph test and the information from the investigation was shared with various government agencies from the CIA to the IRS.
Federal officials gathered the information from the customer records of two men who were under criminal investigation for purportedly teaching people how to pass lie detector tests. The officials then distributed a list of 4,904 people – along with many of their Social Security numbers, addresses and professions – to nearly 30 federal agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, the CIA, the National Security Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.
Although the polygraph-beating techniques are unproven, authorities hoped to find government employees or applicants who might have tried to use them to lie during the tests required for security clearances. Officials with multiple agencies confirmed that they'd checked the names in their databases and planned to retain the list in case any of those named take polygraphs for federal jobs or criminal investigations.
But many of those customers had received no one on one training on how to beat a polygraph nor did they work for the government. They bought a book or DVD, that's it.
Since when is buying a book worthy of investigation?
It turned out, however, that many people on the list worked outside the federal government and lived across the country. Among the people whose personal details were collected were nurses, firefighters, police officers and private attorneys, McClatchy learned. Also included: a psychologist, a cancer researcher and employees of Rite Aid, Paramount Pictures, the American Red Cross and Georgetown University.
Clearly these people needed to be watched. How dare they try to learn something. Can America survive if a Rite Aid employee learns about polygraph tests?
So buying books now leads to an investigation and your information being stored by multiple intelligence agencies. But this isn't a police state because you voted for this. Well, not you but your representatives. Well, maybe they didn't read the bill exactly but the intelligence agencies assured them it was the right move. So there.

I know I know XP should die off but I still have my old November 2008 deployment. I'm learning how to mess with imageX, Windows AIK, and manage install.wim files. So far I have managed to merge Vista SP2 and 7 7100 Ultimate 32 and 64 into a big 8GB install.wim on my flash drive. Is there any possible way to keep the special unattended settings for XP ONLY that I set up with nLite so the other 4 stay the way they are now? I have finally also received my 16GB DT100 from RMA and I want to make it a boot drive. I have 3.65GB free and my XP SP3 has DriverPacks, removed components and unattended settings totalling 1.3GB.
Can this be worked since it won't be using an Autounattend.xml file like Vista and 7 do? Thanks, I have learned very much from here and I volunteer at CHLA using most of the info I learned here some great minds we have here. The reason I still keep XP on me is because people I help do still have old Intel integrated 8xx graphics and there are no XPDM drivers in 7 so it is very terrible 640x480 4 bit color which is a scary sight.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Bethenny Frankel Reveals Her Skin and Beauty Secrets! Are They Budget-Friendly?
With her Skinnygirl brand food and cookbooks, Bethenny Frankel has already made her mark on the world of healthy eating. Now, the proud mama and star Bethenny Ever After is out to conquer another industry: skincare and beauty.
Wetpaint Entertainment first brought you the details about Bethenny's new skincare line, Skinnygirl Face & Body, back in December. Now, the sassy entrepreneur is speaking with Hollywood Life — and sharing some of her personal beauty secrets.
"In the morning I do a cleanse, I use a spray toner, I use a serum, an under eye cream and then either a moisturizer with SPF on top or just an SPF moisturizer," she tells the site of her daily beauty routine.
"At night I'll do a little heavier of a face cream, but I do like the products under the products. I used to never be a layerer. I like the layering of toner, serum and moisturizer."
On top of that, she'll do a vitamin C scrub followed by a moisturizing mask once or twice a week. Sound like the recipe for breaking the bank? It doesn't have to be! Bethenny sells her line exclusively at Walmart, and nothing is ever more than $15.
"The difference between a hundred dollar cream and a 15 dollar cream is negligible. And in most cases the money is in the packaging and people are just appealing to people in marketing and I think it's deceptive."

Published: Feb 25 2013 08:56:55 PM EST Updated On: Feb 26 2013 06:26:18 AM EST
Fire crews battled flames and smoke at a home in Catasauqua.
Around 8:15 p.m. Monday, firefighters were called to the 500 block of Howertown Road in Lehigh County.
A 69 News crew on the scene said firefighters were able to extinguish the flames quickly but the blaze created a good amount of smoke and appears to have caused serious damage to the home.
There is no word on any injuries or what started the fire.

Yes, I should have clarified that it is published APPLETS that I can
not view such as my own applets as well as those at
openprocessing.org. I can design locally, but can not view my work
pushed to my web pages. I am still running Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook
and would be very interested if 11.10 resolves this issue, but I
believe that it does not.

Mile High Makeout: Binge and purge
On the third day of an alcohol, caffeine, fat and sugar binge in the name of the winter solstice and some folks' savior, I'm feeling lethargic, unhealthy, dirty and startlingly unattractive. This is the stuff New Year's resolutions are made of. All I want to do is eat raw foods, spend four hours in the gym and try to save my internal organs from becoming completely enrobed in a protective layer of sweet, fatty tissue. In spite of all that, I'm going tonight. And you probably should too.
You see, even as we are all emerging from our days of decadence and devotion, there's no shortage of great local live music to enjoy tonight. There's phenomenal FREE hip-hop with the Pirate Signal at Herman's Hideaway, Buckwild at 3 Kings Tavern, Xiren at the Toad Tavern, and Katie Herzig performing with Tifah of the Autum Film at the Walnut Room.
Then, of course, there's the inimitable Living Room Series at the Meadowlark. An outgrowth of the Moveable Feast showcases, the Living Room events are Jonathan Bitz and Sarah Levin's salute to this town's finest singer-songwriters. According to the Meadowlark's MySpace page, performers tonight will include: Joe Sampson, Nate Meese, John Common, Corey Teruya (of Hello Kavita), Jason Cain (of Astrophagus), Mike Marchant (of Widowers), Tim Pourbaix, Joshua Novak, Roger Green, Stephen Lee Lawson (of Oblio Duo), Robyn Aasmundstad and many more. Holy crap, that's more sad bastards (and bast-ettes) than you're likely to find in one place ever again.
I'll be there. Let's make out and purge ourselves of all the toxins we've ingested over the past few days. I promise to, at least, brush my teeth beforehand. --Eryc Eyl
