for the rest of the race.
I think if Dungey didn't look back twice and just kept it pinned he would have blown by RV1 and taken the lead from there until the end.
Yeah Looking back cant help the concentration,just gotta go! RV does kinda let Dungey by once its obvious Dungey is coming by sooner or later anyway.
RV starts to drop low to block but Dungey is already there and blowing by.
Its just one race but great to see KTM top both classes again and somebody give a challenge to Villapoto.
Its obvious again that if somebody slides up close to RV and dawgs him that he can be shook. Cant win em all.
Great Race! Again! Good to great season all the way through.

What the heck were the Saints just doing about to go for it on their own side of the field?

What the heck were the Saints just doing about to go for it on their own side of the field?
Yeah, i'm not too crazy about his body language at times. On the other hand I also hate it in sports when guys laugh and giggle on the sideline when they're team is playing like crap, Cam really does...
Saints seem like they're about to blow this game open.
Absolutely pathetic defense by the Panthers.
I love you Cam, but that was just stupid.
I understand why they have the horse collar rule, but sometimes I think they call it way too often. Didn't seem warranted there. I don't care that it just benefited my team, some of these penalties...
I think Brees wants to annihilate this passing yards record.
BTW, Jake Delhomme in for the Texans?
Yeah he should've pitched it back to DeAngelo on that play. Overall the option has been pretty money for this offense.
Panthers-Saints is gonna be a fun shootout.
Pass TD #3 for Cam. They're just embarassing Tampa Bay.
Holy crap, Cam Newton just ran for a 49 yard TD!
Cam Newton is so good at selling the play fake, makes it hard to defend this offense.
Whoa, 91 yard TD pass from Cam to LaFell.
I actually love the playcalling in this offense. Sometimes maybe a bit pass happy, but Cam is very unique and they use him perfectly. Cam, DeAngelo, and Stewart make a very dynamic three headed...
It's unbelievable how many big leads the Panthers have managed to blow this year.
Olindo Mare is pathetic. Earlier in the year he misses a 29 yard FG to tie, then misses a 36 yard FG to take the lead. Unbelievable.
Cam starting to self destruct these last couple possessions..
Falcons now only down 6 points after Cam throws a stupid interception that results in an Atlanta TD two plays later.
When a QB waits until he's directly in front of you to initiate his slide, what is a defender supposed to do? Terrible call.
They aren't running it effectively against a really bad run defense.
Haha, Cam Newton is so good in the red zone. He just faked the run and did alittle jump pass that went for a TD. Beautiful.
If my memory serves me correct I think Orlando Pace also got ejected a long time ago for "touching" a referee. I remember that one being pretty bogus as well.
It's supposed to be. Steve Smith got ejected from a close game a few years ago for simply touching a referee by the waist trying to get his attention. That still pisses me off just thinking about it.
Dallas just mismanaged everything there.
Was thinking the exact same thing.

Photos: Gophers overmatched by Wolverines, lose 83-75

Minnesota played Michigan in front of a sellout crowd at Williams Arena on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013, but the best atmosphere in Tubby Smith's coaching era wasn't enough to give the No. 9 Gophers a win over the Wolverines.

Penn psychologists point to the study as a novel example of the negative artifacts packaged within the evolved way the human brain processes information. The mind has evolved to develop a capacity to free up our conscious thinking for dangerous and reproductive situations. For example, a driver at a green light doesn't need to cycle through a series of decisions. Green simply means go. The brain has evolved to remove common or repetitive situations or tasks from our awareness because the capacity of our consciousness is quite limited.
What ties these studies together is that missing information was literally thrust in the face of participants, and yet they didn't use it.
"We have heuristics in our brain simple mechanistic shortcuts that have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, which free up precious space in our consciousness," said Andrew Geier, lead author in the Department of Psychology in Penn's School of Arts and Sciences. "In these atypical instances, however, it's the shortcut that hurts us."
The researchers believe that the negative artifacts of the evolved mind may be directly connected with America's obesity epidemic.
"We have evolved in a very different environment," Geier said. "It used to be that food was scarce, and you ate what was available because you didn't know where your next meal would come from. That is not the case anymore. Although we have yet to prove this, we believe that the ecology of eating in the current food environment has become an example of the atypical situations demonstrated in this new article, which may be an explanation for why almost 70 percent of American adults are either overweight or obese.

I didn't say everyone was concerned. Most, perhaps 95%, of pax have no clue there are still problems on the Sunshine. I said Carnival is concerned. I'd say primarily about the back-lash from guests & possible bad press they will get if they have to once again divert to Freeport or similar as they did with the Magic. It won't look good if they have problems. Some Italian maritime press have been pretty forthright about some concerns and future refits have been put on hold. I understand she is heavy in the bow and new stabilizers have been recommended. I would not be surprised if I got a call delaying the TA sailing just as they did with the 1st cruises scheduled after the refit. Hope not.
I'm not concerned personally as I know I'll be safe, but I will be disappointed if we again spend time in an unscheduled port for fuel, service, or repairs. It would be too late to use the new Guarantee as I'm sure they wouldn't announce it within the 1st 24 hours, but sometime in the middle of the Atlantic.

Product description
* An honest and dispassionate assessment of Japan's high command, with sage advice on leadership as applicable today as it was when it was first written * Rare insight into what really happened on the Japanese side of the war fence Japanese Destroyer Captain is a highly regarded war memoir that was a best seller in both Japan and the United States during the 1960s. The work has long been treasured by World War II buffs and professional historians for its insights into the Japanese side of the surface war in the Pacific. The book has been credited with correcting errors in U.S. accounts of various battles and with revealing details of high-level Imperial Japanese Navy strategy meetings. The author, Captain Tameichi Hara, was a survivor of more than one hundred sorties against the Allies and was known throughout Japan as the Unsinkable CaptainA". Called the workhorses of the navy, Japanese destroyers shouldered the heaviest burden of the surface war and took part in scores of intense sea battles, many of which Captain Hara describes in his memoir. In the early days of the war, victories were common, but by 1943, the lack of proper maintenance of the destroyers and sufficient supplies, along with Allied development of scientific equipment and superior aircraft, took its toll. On April 7, 1945, during the Japanese navy's last sortie, Captain Hara managed to survive the sinking of his own ship only to witness the demise of the famed Japanese battleship Yamato off Okinawa. A hero to his countrymen, Captain Hara exemplified the best in Japanese surface commanders: highly skilled, hard driving and aggressive. Moreover, he maintained a code of honour worthy of his samurai grandfather, and, as readers of this book have come to appreciate, he was as free with praise for American courage and resourcefulness as he was critical of himself and his senior commanders.

Author information
Captain Tameichi Hara (1900-1980) was an Imperial Japanese naval commander during the Pacific War and the author of the IJN manual on torpedo attack techniques, famous for his skills in torpedo warfare and night fighting. A samurai descendant, Hara graduated from the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy at Etajima in 1921. In 1932, Hara was assigned as a surface warfare instructor and in the middle of the same year his naval doctrine was accepted by the high command. At the beginning of the war, he was a captain of the destroyer Amatsukaze, but for most of the war he was a destroyer squadron commander, aboard Shigure. Hara's battle tactics were first used in the battle of Guadalcanal.

Haven't been to a trade show in many, many years. I used to try and attend several of them a year but I just haven't had the opportunity as of late. A few days back a good lady friend of mine called and asked me to go to one with her next Saturday I have agreed to go and help her out and look forward to spending some time with her and hopefully finding this trade show of interest.
One good thing about trade shows is that they are normally held inside, so the weather is never much of an issue and the show goes on rain or shine, hot or cold. Trade shows are by far a great way to learn about different businesses and their services, products and opportunities. They have come a long way since the 90's when they started coming around.

Lamborghini is an Italian automaker which focuses on producing high-end exotic sports cars. The company is largely in competition with fellow Italians Ferrari as well as with certain vehicles produced by Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin and corporate parent Audi. Lamborghini has historically been known for ostentatious, over the top designs which are backed up by equally powerful engines. Vehicle quality and handling has varied over the years, but the past decade has seen a series of extremely successful products bearing their charging bull logo, suggesting that quality control has improved as a result of Audi's influence.
The Used Lamborghini lineup is dominated by mid-engine sports cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Gallardo Spyder convertible, and the Gallardo Superleggera. The company also produces the V12-powered Murciélago supercar, as well as the Murciélago LP640. The top of the line Aventador rounds out their high-dollar offerings.
Lamborghini's History
Allegedly, the story goes that company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini started making sports cars after having complained to Enzo Ferrari about the perceived poor quality of Ferrari automobiles. When Ferrari's response was to tell Lamborghini to go and see if he could do a better job himself, Ferruccio vowed to turn his considerable mechanical knowledge to the task and get the best of his Italian rival. Already the owner of a successful tractor and industrial equipment empire, Lamborghini produced his first automobile, the 350GT in 1963. It would encapsulate most of the themes that would serve the company well over the decades to come: a 12-cylinder engine stuffed into a small, eye-catching coupe. The vehicle that followed 3 years later, the Miura, would further cement the company's reputation as a producer of desirable European sports cars.
The Lamborghini story became less rosy as the company moved out of the 60's and into a new decade that would see the accumulation of debt and poor sales lead to a loss of equity for Ferruccio Lamborghini. Part of the tractor business was sold to giant Fiat, and eventually the majority of the company ended up in the hands of a Swiss investor, where it would founder and go bankrupt at the end of the decade. After a period of turmoil, Lamborghini emerged again as a solvent company in 1984, riding on the success of the radically-styled Countach sports car. The company eventually found its way into the Chrysler portfolio in 1987, where an uncomfortable co-existence saw the larger automaker impart a solid chunk of manufacturing knowledge and technical know-how to the still-tiny boutique company. After releasing the Diablo, Chrysler divested themselves of Lamborghini in 1994, selling it to a company called Megatech which was able to quadruple its miniscule sales in a short period of time. The much more viable company was still unable to find ownership stability, and it changed hands once again in 1997.
The Audi Years
New parent Audi was to prove a calming influence on Lamborghini, not only in terms of finance but also when it came to build quality, technological development and overall design. The attention-grabbing but impractical Countach and Diablo were relegated to the hall of fame, and the company began to produce a series of coupes which still had enormous street presence but accomplished it through cutting-edge styling instead of garish air scoops and wings. Audi's vast reservoir of engine knowledge was tapped to produce a V10 that would fit snugly into a new, 'entry-level' Lamborghini, reserving the V12 for the range-topping dream machines. Lamborghini has flourished as a result of ten years of Audi involvement, and the future is once again bright for this producer of fine exotic used cars.

Low on flu vaccine, district dips into private stock
Health officials expect more to arrive next week
It probably was the busiest drive-through Friday morning as Nueces County residents waited in line for flu vaccines.
About 1,100 shots were given out to adults and children at the fifth annual Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District flu vaccine drive-through clinic. The clinic attracted one of the busiest crowds in its five years, said clinic spokeswoman Noe Rodriguez. Last year, 1,500 took part in the drive-through clinic, but the 2005 clinic lasted twice as long.
Vehicles were wrapped around the Whataburger Field parking lot for the vaccines, which ranged from $5 to $20, and free for some. About 14 nurses administered the shots as volunteers donned orange vests to help direct cars, trucks and vans.
VACCINES BY appointment
*Prices change when
The clinic also ran out of state-supplied $5 vaccines for children ages 4 to 18. The district, which had to dip into its private stock, charged $10 for the shots, said interim director Annette Rodriguez.
"We lost a few dollars, but that's not our goal," she said. "Our goal is to get the community vaccinated."
Anyone who didn't make the drive-through clinic Friday can make an appointment next week with the health department, health department officials said.
Dr. William Burgin, health authority for the district, said the drive-through clinic has always been a success.
"You get the shot, you never leave the car. Everything's done," he said. "If you have children, they're much more comfortable in their own familiar automobileIt also allows the health department to show the public that we're taking care of the community."

Slipknot + Former Stone Sour Guitarist Jim Root: 'I've Never Had a Problem With Corey Taylor'
Now former Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root digs deeper into the issues that led to his exit from the band.
Now former Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root digs deeper into the issues that led to his exit from the band.
Corey Taylor discusses his dark teenage years, his battle with depression and his attempted suicide.
Slipknot have released 'Audiobiography,' a new documentary that gets extremely personal.
If you've been to a Slipknot show, you know how intense 'Spit it Out' can be in a live setting.
Corey Taylor, who fronts both Slipknot and Stone Sour, and currently describes himself as "one of the most hated dudes right now."
Listen to Slipknot's new disc in its entirety before it's released on Oct. 21.
Harmony and Slipknot are 2 words never used in the same sentence; until today. The Lounge Kittens have covered Slipknot's 'Duality' in 3-part harmony and it's actually damn good.
Here's another new Slipknot song from the band's soon-to-be-released fifth studio album, '.5: The Gray Chapter.'
From the band's highly anticipated fifth studio album, '.5: The Gray Chapter,' today's new cut is 'Killpop.'
10-year-old Leonardo Constantius chose to jam 'Chop Suey!' and 'Sulfur' for a presentation at school.
Slipknot's camel dung scent may not be wafting through the air at Knotfest due to local regulations.
The band's latest from '.5: The Gray Chapter' is titled 'AOV' and it feels like a cut reminiscent of Slipknot's 'All Hope is Gone' period.

Hi everyone! I'm install Gimp 2.6.6 on Windows XP SP3 Professional, but he don't see *.vbr brushes, i don't know why. Anyone know what is the problem?
sorry for my english, i'm from Russia.
Some of the brushes that come with GIMP 2.6 are VBR, so it is unlikely that this won't work at all.
We don't know where you put the brushes, for example - this would be useful information.
A general helper for asking technical questions and prooviding the necessary information could be the tutorial How To Ask Questions The Smart Way, also available in a Russian translation.
Interesting. I don't recall any problem like this.
You are 100% sure that the brushes should be found at the location where you put them?
Oh. Why do you try to open them as images?
They should appear in the brush dialog and are editable via the brush editor - although you should place them into a writable directory for that, for example your personal brushes directory.
I downloaded Gimp 2.6.8, downloaded brushes like I did on my other pc but the other one is Windows Vista, now I'm using my laptop and its windows 7, the only thing is my brushes are in the right spot and everything, but when i load gimp i see no brushes, refresh them still no brushes, is gimp compatible with Windows 7? maybe I'm doing something wrong.....help help please...

You're not going to be a billionaire, so enjoy these great photos of first-round March Madness upsets
Imagine: Somewhere in Omaha, Warren Buffett sits in a comfortable recliner. Dairy Queen blizzard in one hand, remote control in the other, the billionaire watches his money grow safer by each final score flashing on the television screen.
Well played, Buffett, well played.
Less than a week into the NCAA tournament, Buffett's Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Challenge saw all of its 11 million contenders make at least one wrong bracket pick. The 20 people with the best imperfect brackets will still each win $100,000, but if you were planning to quit your day job, well, sorry but you should clock in as usual on Monday.
In the meantime, accept March Madness for what it is: A crazy couple of weeks with upsets galore, Cinderella storylines aplenty, and some pretty great photos to boot. --Sarah Eberspacher

For the first time since Bruce Jenner transitioned to become Caitlyn Jenner, a major piece of the decathlete's Olympic memorabilia is going to auction. Heritage Auctions estimates that the 1984 Summer Olympic Torch that Jenner carried through Lake Tahoe, Nevada, will sell for at least $20,000. Auction director Chris Ivy described the 24-inch torch as a "wonderful symbol that masculinity and femininity are not mutually exclusive."
After becoming a national hero upon winning the 1976 Olympic Decathlon Gold Medal, Jenner attracted the spotlight again in June when she came out as a transgender woman and revealed herself as Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair. Jenner will accept the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards on next week for her courage in coming out as a transgender woman. Becca Stanek
A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests that federal student aid programs are doing more harm than good. When subsidized federal loans have the effect of "relaxing students' funding constraints," universities respond by raising tuition to collect the newly available cash.
The resultant tuition hikes can be substantial: The researchers found that each additional dollar of Pell Grant or subsidized student loan money translates to a tuition jump of 55 or 65 cents, respectively. Of course, the higher tuition also applies to students who don't receive federal aid, making college less affordable across the board.
The report also found that subsidized federal loans do not appear to increase enrollment. "[W]hile one would expect a student aid expansion to benefit recipients," the study authors wrote, "the subsidized loan expansion could have been to their detriment, on net, because of the sizable and offsetting tuition effect."

With highs well into the 80's these days, Boston's record-breaking, snowy winter seems like a distant memory. That is, unless you visit the city's last pile of snow: a 12-foot, trash-choked mound of solid ice whose slow, steady melting is a lasting reminder of the grueling winter, The New York Times reports.
The last of Boston's so-called "snow farms," the pile was created in an empty lot so plows would have somewhere to dump some of the 110 inches of snow that blanketed the city. Once 75 feet high and covering a full 4 acres, new snowfall could make it look "beautiful… like the White Mountains," according to Michael Dennehy, the commissioner of public works. These days, the slowly shrinking snow pile is mostly notable for it's trash, tons of urban detritus also swept up by the snow plows. City workers have pulled out everything from candy wrappers to newspaper boxes and manhole covers. And as the mound gets smaller, more and more trash is revealed. As the Times notes, city workers cleared 12 tons of trash from the pile in May. In June, 56 tons.
Boston mayor Martin J. Walsh has asked people, via Twitter, to guess when the snow pile will finally be gone. The winning guess gets a "meet and greet" with Mayor Walsh.
Have you sent in your guess? #BosMeltNow pic.twitter.com/kTeCJkzFnB
— Mayor Marty Walsh (@marty_walsh) July 6, 2015
For many, though, they'll just be happy to see the snow go. One woman summed up what surely must be the feelings of many Bostonians in regards to the snow: "It's almost gone — thank God." Marshall Bright
It's conventional wisdom that if a police officer pulls you over late at night, you can proceed slowly to a well-lit, public area to make sure the stop is safe and legitimate. But when DaJuawn Wallace, a graduate student at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan, attempted to put this rule into practice, he found himself arrested and slapped with a felony charge for "fleeing and eluding" police.
The stop took place at 2 a.m., while Wallace was out purchasing medicine for his girlfriend. When he saw police lights behind him, he slowly drove to a nearby Sam's Club, waving for the officer to follow him. "I live in Detroit, and I know some people who were robbed by fake police officers," Wallace explained. "I was not speeding up, turning off my lights or trying to get away." He was only pulled over because the cop thought his car resembled one he'd seen driving on a sidewalk earlier that day.
Wallace has been offered a plea deal to reduce his charge to a felony, but taking it would cause him to lose his job and any financial aid opportunities for his master's program. He is pushing for a complete dismissal of charges because, he says, "I feel like I didn't do anything wrong." Bonnie Kristian
Members of the Taliban leadership held talks with at least one senior Afghan official in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, The New York Times reports. The Afghan government has expressed hopes that the meeting will lead to negotiations aimed at bringing an end to the Afghanistan War.
Taliban leaders dismissed similar meetings earlier this year in Qatar, Norway, and China as being unofficial talks between individuals and the Afghan government. While it remains to be seen how the Taliban will respond to news of the talks today, Pakistan's role as a go-between is significant, since it is the home of the Taliban leadership in exile and a haven for extremist militants who have long staged raids across the porous Afghan-Pakistani border.
There is also speculation that the threat of ISIS, which has made inroads with the Taliban's base of support, has made the Taliban especially eager to seek peace with the Afghan government, The New York Times reports. Jeva Lange
That's the major insinuation of a new New York Times profile on Roger Clinton, the younger brother to the former president. The article says that Bill may have helped Roger buy an $857,000 house at a time when Roger owed over $100,000 in back taxes.
While public records do not make Bill's purchase of the house "readily apparent," The Times reports that the property was bought by Calle Mayor L.L.C., a company that shares a postal box with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Further confirming the suspicion that Bill did indeed buy a house for Roger is the fact that Hillary reportedly listed an "unidentified parcel of California real estate owned by her husband," when she gave her financial disclosure while secretary of state. According to Roger, he shares ownership of the house "50-50 with Big Brother," his nickname for Bill.
Considering Roger's hefty tax debts, purchasing a house of that value "could have been problematic," tax lawyers told The Times. At the time that Calle Mayor bought the house in 2009, the Internal Revenue Service reportedly had a lien on Roger's assets because of his outstanding tax debt. If the house was purchased under the guise of concealed ownership in the hopes of not paying tax debt, a tax lawyer told The New York Times that it "could be considered tax evasion." However, if the property were openly purchased by a debtor in a repayment plan, or if someone simply bought the home and then let the debtor live in it, that would be "no problem at all." That makes Roger's claim that he "put 50 percent of the money" into the house all the more critical.
The former president and his representatives declined to comment for the article. Becca Stanek
State and federal law enforcement officials raided the Zionsville, Indiana, home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle Tuesday morning as part of a child pornography investigation.
In April, Russell Taylor, the former director of Fogle's Jared Foundation, was arrested and accused of possessing and producing child pornography. Investigators says they discovered more than 500 videos at Taylor's home.
Reporting from the scene, local news source WTHR says that members of the task force are removing electronics from the Fogle household and analyzing them in a mobile forensics van. Fogle has been detained, but is not under arrest, and his wife and children have left the scene.
Fogle shot to fame in 2000 as the face of the "Subway diet." He lost a total of 245 pounds on a diet plan that consisted of two Subway sandwiches per day and plenty of walking exercise. Scott Meslow

Bali Rains
It is the music of the rain-stick. When you tilt a rain-stick, back and forth, its small beans pour from side to side, creating music in the hollow of its wood.
What an enchanting sound vibration.
For hours it envelops me.
Only after the rainclouds travel on does sleep reclaim me.
Forty Year Anniversary of Going Veg 1974 – 2014
It's not something I ever thought to celebrate. At least not for the last thirty nine years. Somehow forty years is such a milestone number, it's worth celebrating!
And sharing some reflections.
1974. A lot happened that summer. After my 14th birthday I moved to Laguna Beach with dad. Our second floor apartment rose above the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Sixty stairs and I was on the beach.
Laguna was a small town of 12,000 people, the majority of whom were artists, hippies, or both. Soon I discovered the best part of all—everyone was vegetarian! (well-almost)
The "Love Animals Don't Eat Them" movement was in full swing. Posters, bumper stickers, and buttons were everywhere. All the cool hippies and artists I spent time with had given up eating meat out of concern for the animals and the future of the planet.
I didn't require much convincing, I just needed to know what to eat. Half a block away Sunshine Smoothies solved my dilemma. Fresh juices, avocado sandwiches, and sprout salads became my daily fare. Two blocks away, The Stand served another assortment of vegetarian meals. Vegetarian friends invited me to dine with them. The transition to becoming a committed vegetarian happened in one day!
I attended a small parochial school through eighth grade, and enjoyed learning. Now only one semester into public high school and I was so, so bored. Then my English teacher let me in on a secret. She and a colleague were starting an alternative school at Laguna High, named Creative and Vocational Education (C.A.V.E.). She encouraged me to apply.
My Sophomore year of High School began in a huge classroom allocated to C.A.V.E., with couches and reclining chairs, desk stations, and a kitchen. We had no bells, no useless homework, and no discipline problems. Instead of shifting our focus every 50 minutes, our dynamic, interactive classes met twice a week for 3 hours. Group decisions were democratic. We voted — on everything.
We were also encouraged, and our schedules adjusted, to take college classes, apprenticeships, and volunteer in careers we wanted to explore.
Now I spent my days, nights and weekends with mentors and peers who expected us to be independent thinkers, outspoken activists, artists, and writers. School trips included wilderness survival in the Sierra mountains, living in tepees and pueblos in Arizona and New Mexico to learn from Native American elders, and journeying to the Channel Islands for a week of research with Marine Biologists.
And for daily communing with nature, outside our classroom was a green house, organic garden, and hiking trails.
About half of the fifty students attending C.A.V.E. and one of our teachers were vegetarian. Every school outing we had a vote to determine the group meals: veg or non-veg. The veg meals won most every time.
Job at Sunshine's
That summer I got a job at Sunshine's. Minimum wage was a whopping $1.65 an hour back then. But beyond the wage, there were two major perks. 1. Our boss gave us permission to eat to our full satisfaction before, during and after our shifts (veg teenagers are known to eat obscene amounts of food!) and 2. I met and befriended almost every vegetarian in town.
Some of our regular smoothie customers were Krishna folk from the nearby temple. They were famous for their vegetarian cuisine, and all the festivals and feasts they provided to the public, free of charge. I received many friendly invites to visit the Krishna house two blocks away for an evening of singing, dancing, and feasting.
I had reservations. There were stories about them. And accusations of brainwashing. I didn't believe the brainwashing bit, but I didn't feel all that comfortable going alone. One of my friends from school invited me to go with her, and I readily agreed.
Krishna Cuisine
My first time at the Krishna house was magical. I loved the singing and dancing, the thought-provoking class, and the dinner. Oh my gosh— I had never eaten that much food in my life! There must have been twelve dishes, from hot and spicy to sweet and crunchy. Flavors and spices and textures I didn't know existed. I ate two heaping plates of food, and brought a third home to enjoy for breakfast.
Looking Back
Between Sunshine's, the Krishna temple, and my veg friends at school and around town, I had a fantastic support system that made it easy for me, a young teenager on my own, to become a committed vegetarian.
Over the past forty years my community of vegan and vegetarian friends expanded around the world. To each and every friend I've shared a meal and a good laugh with, please accept my gratitude.
Thank you to all the authors, researchers, doctors, celebrities, activists, and journalists who have educated the world on the validity of a plant-based diet: for ourselves, for the animals, and for the earth.
Please join me in my celebration— 40 years Veg and counting!Read More

Sunrise Meditation
As the sun began its rise in the East, this beautiful verse from a Bengali prayer floated through my mind
"With every rising and setting of the sun,
a day passes and is lost.
Why do you remain idle and not
serve the lord of the heart?"*
Reflecting on the preciousness of each day, of each moment, was likely spurred by a friend's letter I read late last night. My friend is recovering from a second cancer surgery, and shared with me, "Every moment is a gift. That's how I'm seeing my life now."Read More

When it comes to fixing the housing market in this election year, it's a battle between the "ineffective" and the "do-nothing."
Tales from the Trail
Gingrich camp heads off ex-wife interview
The Gingrich campaign launched a preemptive strike as news spread that ABC plans to broadcast a potentially damaging interview with Newt Gingrich's second ex-wife on Thursday – just two days before Saturday's crucial South Carolina primary.
Newt Super PAC imagines Romney-Obama debate
A Pro-Newt Super PAC posted an animated version of how a general debate between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee would look.
Washington Extra – The Keystone cudgel
President Obama had until the end of February to make a decision on the Keystone oil sands pipeline, but he made his move today. And, predictably, he rejected the $7 billion project. That keeps him in good standing with his environmental base for November 2012 but creates new tensions with his Republican foes.
Santorum staffer questions whether God wants women presidents
A staffer in Rick Santorum's presidential campaign is under fire for an email suggesting a female commander-in-chief could be at odds with the Bible's teachings.
Perry stands ground on Turkey
Given an opportunity to revise (back down or retract) his comments he made in Monday's Republican debate linking Turkey to "Islamic terrorists," Texas Governor Rick Perry stood his ground on Tuesday.
Rick Perry lags in home state of Texas
Tuesday only got worse for Texas Governor Rick Perry whose comments about Turkey in a debate last night got him lambasted by foreign policy experts, the Turkish press, and the Turkish government in Ankara.
Reuters Washington Extra – Behind the numbers
At last night's debate, Mitt Romney said he'd be happy to release his tax returns in April. But today he disclosed a crucial piece of information as the clamor grew for him to come out with his returns. The frontrunner to clinch the Republican nomination has a tax rate that "is probably closer to 15 percent than anything."
Oops again? Rick Perry revises his list of three departments to cut
Lagging Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry can't seem to catch a break. The Texas governor is facing criticism across the blogosphere for again flubbing the federal departments he would eliminate if elected.
Stephen Colbert: Exploring run for president of USA of South Carolina
Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert announced on his show Thursday night that he is forming an exploratory committee for a "possible candidacy for the president of the United States of South Carolina."

Remember Me
Michael Ventura, Austin Chronicle, March 31, 2006: "My friend Jo Carol Pierce, a superb songwriter, told me (with a strange urgency in her voice) to catch a set by a young unknown at the Saxon Pub on South Congress. There was no cover charge. In the spotlight on stage was 17-year-old (!) Sahara Smith. Her musical sophistication and the uncanny maturity of her lyrics astonished me – gave me chills – and made me realize (a little sadly) that it had been a long time since I'd been enthralled. What a wonder, to be enthralled again. After the show I told her and anyone else who would listen, 'You're the most gifted young performer I've seen in 26 years.' "

I'm in a bit of a quandary and would like some advice...
I have this odd habit of looking up horses for sale on dreamhorse and equine in a 200 mile radius of where I live on a daily basis just to see what's out there, fair market value or to see if I know any of the horses. Well, yesterday, lo and behold, my old boy popped up as for sale. Now this is the horse that I leased the broodmare, bred her, kept her through the pregnancy, and then raised the baby, broke him and then showed. I had the horse from his first steps to a 5 year old and then I had to sell him because of health issues at the time :( Regardless, I loved the horse and placed him in a good home. Unfortunately, the girl that bought him 2 years ago had to sell him because of financial difficulties and let him go to a young man who claimed he was low on money, wanted to event and do big shows but couldn't afford an expensive horse (she was selling him for dirt cheap) and he was so excited to have him. She believed him, told me what had happened, and we both felt good about it.
Here's where the story goes bad...that young gentleman it turns out is a trainer/dealer. He had the horse maybe a month and took him to Devon, Plantation Fields, and some other top notch shows to get his name out and now has him for sale again. But that's not even the part that bothers me. The part that bothers me is that in the ad he claims that the horse is a TB/Percheron cross, which I know is a lie. He also claims the horse is unregistered, another lie, but then he would have to admit the breed is wrong. And he claims he has had the horse a long time, yet another lie. Since he also was not honest about his intentions when he bought him, and now he is lying in the ad, I'm very concerned about his horse ethics. I was shocked to see a horse that could hardly jump going over huge fences at Devon and the horse trials at Plantation so now I'm worried there is also some other unethical things happening. While what he does with the horse is out of my control at this point, I am wondering if I should report him to Dreamhorse and Equine as a fraudulent seller. He has at least 10 or more horses for sale, and if you lie about one, I'm sure it's not hard to lie about the others. What do you think? Sit back and let it happen since he's not mine anymore or report it? He also has a website for selling so I could contact him and confront him about the lie?
Sorry for the long spiel, this whole situation has me in tears

Abrons Arts Center Hosts DAVID SPRIGGS: BLUE Solo Exhibition, 10/12-11/3
The exhibtion DAVID SPRIGGS: BLUE will run October 12, 2012 - November 3, 2012 at Abrons Arts Center in NYC, with the opening reception set for October 12, 6 to 8 p.m.
Residency Unlimited and the Abrons Arts Center have announced the first solo exhibition in New York by Montreal-based artist David Spriggs. For the last decade, Spriggs has been examining the particular symbolic, perceptual, social, political, and historical connotations of color in the monochromatic installation series Stratachrome.
Blue is a site-specific installation created for the Abrons Arts Center Gallery that addresses the physicality and perception of the color blue. Whilst referencing Yves Klein's InternationAl Klein Blue (IKB) and the Light and Space artists of the sixties, Blue imagines new concepts of hue in space manifesting the color as a graspable physical object. Embracing the spectacle of "blueness," the installation delivers a destabilizing and powerful experience. As writer John Hampton notes: "Spriggs works primarily in phenomenological experience; he creates stunningly convincing illusions of airy, voluminous objects that we enter visually."
Blue is created with multiple layers of painted transparent film hung at specific intervals within the gallery. The blue pigment is carried through the space on the transparencies that, once lit, create a blur of three-dimensional color. The result is a field of an intense saturated tint that radiates from the architecture with no defined form or boundaries. A sense of the ephemeral is manifested in the work suggesting the sky. The installation is at once ethereal and concrete. One wall of the gallery is mirrored, creating a reflection so that the blue is not only carried through the room, but beyond into reflected space.
David Spriggs, a Montreal-based artist, was born in 1978 in Manchester, England. He received his Master of Fine Arts from Concordia University, Montreal, and his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University in Vancouver. He undertook student residencies at Central St. Martins College of Art in London, England (1999), and the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany (2006). He has recently exhibited work at the Prague Biennial 5, the Louis Vuitton Gallery in Macau, and at the Sharjah Biennal 9 in the United Arab Emirates. Spriggs' exhibitions in Canada include shows at Galerie de l'UQAM, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, and Rodman Hall Arts Centre. His work is in the Permanent Collections of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of Quebec.
David Spriggs' residency with Residency Unlimited is made possible with support from Canada Council for the Arts. Set within the framework of RU's partnership with the Abrons Arts Center, the exhibition Blue is made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Perfection in the transcending of duality ...
Without day there would be no night. Without darkness, there is no light. Without ignorance there would be no appreciation for enlightenment.
The world presents these dichotomies in order to mature the human being and send him seeking true perfection.
That perfection can only be found in the transcending of duality. Duality is the path to oneness.
