Remember Me
Saxton and Scotty take care of the vibes, spinning wonderful wax selections all night, from Tosca to Trouble Makers, to Drum and Bass and Dub, nothing is left to chance, the night belongs to the 9. As the DJ's take care of the sound waves the rest of the crew, (including Scotty and Saxton) set the stage, literally. Adorned with gorgeous crystals, life bearing plants, candles and more, the physical stage is transformed into a spiritual home for the music to be born. With amazing beats spinning, positive words of wisdom elevating from the MC's, and the stage prepared, the Sound Tribe conglomeration spreads love to their extended family. Everyone involved with the 9 is amazing, EVERYONE. Gene, who heads the merchandise, is no exception, or perhaps all of the Sound Tribe family IS an exception. Brimming with positivity Gene and the rest of the merch crew help to build this positive energy by displaying not only the gear, but crystals galore and perhaps even more importantly, knowledge. I had many conversations with people behind the merch tables who enlightened me on the properties of crystals.
This use of crystals brings another point to mind. The transference of energy, which is apparently one of the premier qualities of crystals. Throughout the four nights I became involved in an activity that I had never been exposed to before. It seems that a number of people, including myself, take crystals to shows, (I take them everywhere) and throughout the four evenings we were exchanging crystals with one another, everyone was. I would be dancing with my eyes closed, holding one of my crystals, and someone would slip a different one into my hand while exchanging it for my crystal. It was perhaps someone I had met before, or perhaps not. I would dance with my new friend's crystal, feeling the energy, letting it sink into my body, through my hands. The individual's energy, felt in the warmth of the crystal, was literally transferred from them to me, and vice versa. I could feel that person's positive energy, helping to elevate me to a higher region of both consciousness, and joy. The lending of crystals continued through all four nights, growing in frequency, as I spread my love by handing crystals off to old and new friends, allowing the energy to spread and perpetuate itself.
This is yet another of the intangible qualities that makes Sector 9 so special. Their fans are not just ragers (which many of them are). They are looking for more, a spiritual encounter, a heightened sense of reality, and the Sound Tribe becomes the catalyst for this. Perhaps you can think of the use of crystals to transfer energy as a microcosm for the entity forever known as Sound Tribe Sector 9. Every show is indicative of the audience, every note is uniquely created to connect with the dancing, glowing, floating fans. It is a cycle that also feeds off of itself. As the Tribe builds their evening of music, the crowd drinks it in, and returns the energy, allowing the band to feed off their vibe. The cycle continues, elevating itself with positive energy bouncing from band to crowd over and over, creating a sense of euphoria, for both the musicians and the fans, and again we find ourselves transferring energy. It is perhaps the most unique and special connection I have ever had with a band, one I will never let go of.
With the gift of crystals for everyone at the Fox, which were dug up by David Murphy (bass) and his friend Kara on their way to Colorado, coupled with the amazing set up of the stage, this transference of energy seems to be of the utmost importance for the Tribe. It is my belief that this idea of exchanging energy extends far beyond the specific shows, the Sound Tribe is in a perpetual state of positive energy. Every interaction I have with these wonderful people reinforces this idea. From my conversations with Zach (drums), and Gene, to hanging out with Steve (their ticketing man) or even just sitting with all of them back stage these are truly special people. And this extends once again to the fans. As I continue to emphasize, this is more than just music and partying, it is a way of life, a support system for the future, an idea of what life could be like, if we simply allowed ourselves to evolve, to emerge from our materialistic ideals, and embrace the vibrations of life and love.
Spending new years 2002 with Sector 9 was perfect, there was no where I would have rather been. Music has been used as a source of medicine since the beginning of time. African drum circles, ancient percussions, the use of shells as wind instruments, even the breaking waves on the beach, sound has been healing for man long before our calendar of 2002 years was invented. It is only in our sick society that we have lost touch with the therapeutic qualities of music. We have traded our souls for money, our beats for bank accounts. But Sector 9, and music in general, brings us back to a time when we can dance together, hold our hearts on our sleeves, trust our fellow man, and allow the music to heal. Starting the new year with ideals like these refresh my some what jaded view of the world. It gives me hope that we may actually evolve, that we may value our fellow humans more than our pay checks. It is not just the musicians that are responsible for instilling these feelings, it is all of us. From the Sector 9 family, to the fans, to the entire music scene, we make our own realities. We choose our paths and walk them, we are responsible for our own destinies. Perhaps people find this type of inspiration elsewhere, and I hope they do, but I find it with in Sector 9, so thank you, to the band, the family, the fans, and the world. With every interaction we have the ability to affect people positively, don't miss that chance. Time is art, you are love, we are the future.

Air Cleaners & Allergy Control
Rounding out our list of Top 5 Allergy Control Products is the HEPA air cleaner.
It is not necessary to have an air cleaner in every room of your house. While it would be nice if all the air in your house could be filtered, you will get the biggest benefit from having an air cleaner in your bedroom. This is because you spend more time in your bedroom than any other room in your house. It may not seem that way to you, but that is because you are mostly asleep when you are in your bedroom. You might sleep 8 hours a night every night. You rarely spend 8 hours straight in your home kitchen! Want to breathe clean air? Get a HEPA air cleaner.
The two most common types of air cleaners for the home are ionizers and air filters. We don't recommend ionizers because most of them produce ozone. Ozone in large amounts can be toxic and even in small amounts can irritate the respiratory system. We do recommend HEPA filters.
HEPA is an acronym for High Efficiency Particulate Air. It is a measurement that was developed during work on the first atomic bomb and means that 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns are arrested by the filter. This particle size includes lung damaging particles as well as the particles in common household dust and other indoor allergens.
A HEPA filter is only as good as the motor that delivers the dirty air to the filter. If the particles never make it to the filter, then the filter can't stop the particles. It is just common sense.
It is very important that no matter what brand of air cleaner you choose; you choose the right size for your room. You can have a machine that is too large for the room and just run it on a lower speed with no problem. However, if your machine is too small for the room no matter what speed to which you have it set, it will not be able to do the job effectively. If it isn't going to work, then why have it?
When you start looking at air cleaners it is very easy to be confused. Some machines have a CADR (clean air delivery rate) rating; others tell you they can clean a certain square footage of space. This is also confusing because when you clean the air in a room you are cleaning the volume of air (3 dimensions) not the surface (2 dimensions) of the room.
The easiest way to determine if a machine is the proper size is to calculate how many air exchanges an hour the machine can make. If a machine can make 6 to 8 air exchanges an hour, it can keep the air clean.
To calculate air exchanges, first you need to know the volume of air in the room. This is easily calculated by multiplying the length by the width by the ceiling height in the room. If the ceiling is slanted you can take an average for the ceiling height. So, L x W x H = Volume of air in room. If you divide the volume of the air in the room by the amount of air moved by the motor you will find out how long it will take to make one air exchange.
To find out the amount of air moved by the motor, look and the machines specifications. Somewhere in the technical data will be the amount of air moved by the motor expressed in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This number is the amount of air moved by the motor expressed in cubic feet of air per minute. So for a room that is 10 x 12 with an 8 foot ceiling, the volume of the air in the room is 960 cubic feet. (10 x 12 x 8 = 960). If you are looking at an air cleaner that moves 200 cfm on the highest setting (like the Austin Air HealthMate Junior) then you can divide 960 ÷ 200 = 4.8 or roughly 5 minutes for one air exchange on high. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 60 ÷ 5 = 12 or 12 air exchanges an hour.
Once you decide on the proper size machine, make sure it is actually providing HEPA filtration. Some makers call their filters "HEPA type" or "hospital like" filtration. This is not true HEPA. It does not capture all those small particles.
Once you have purchased you air cleaner, place it in your bedroom, turn it on the highest setting and close the door for a few hours. This will allow the machine to work at its maximum level to clean the air in the room. When you are ready to go to bed, turn the machine down to a lower setting and keep it there.
Under normal conditions, you will run the machine at a lower setting 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You only turn the machine back to the highest setting when you are changing the bed linens and cleaning the room. Once the room has been dusted, vacuumed, etc you will want to leave your machine running on its highest setting for about 2 hours with the door to the room closed. This will allow the machine to capture all of the particles that became airborne in the process of "cleaning".
A high quality air cleaner should require little to no maintenance other than dusting and an occasional filter change.
Wishing you the best of health

Just Installed Edge Fuel Pressure Gauge. Doesn't look to great...
Just installed my edge fuel pressure gauge and I'm sitting at 49 psi at idle. drove truck a little bit and it drops to about 45 at half throttle. Luckily in the three months I've had truck, I've driven very little on the highway and haven't really opened it up yet. I too am scared to run it at WOT now with the psi only at 49 at idle. who knows what pressure will drop to. who knows how long its been like that and how previous owner drove it. hopefully the injectors aren't messed up. Truck seems to run fine.
I'll be getting blue spring soon, but probably won't have time to install till next week. need truck to go to work and don't really have a choice. few questions though:
1. Think I'll be okay driving it as long as I keep off the pedal too hard for the next few days?
2.Also, anyone have any tips for getting the CAC tube off and out of the way when I do this install? I've heard it is a pain in the azz to get off.
3. My MPG"S have sucked and been absolutely awful since buying truck. Could low fuel PSI cause poor MPG's?
4. Havent checked fuel filters since purchasing truck as well. Could clogged fuel filters cause low psi as well and/or poor mpgs's?
The mods just never seem to end with this thing, but I'm having fun doing them!!!
Thanks for any info as always!
I don't think it will help the low mpg must be something different but the low pressure will kill the injectors i had the same pressure also this may help some of the pics don't load for some reason but it will help.
Here you go this is a good post by Band_ Member on the fuel pressure reg spring install. Just remember 99% of the 6.0 running around have low fuel pressure and don't know it.
Fuel Regulator Upgrade w/ Pictures - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com
2 stroker
Changing filters at regular intervals is just good preventative maintenance.
As far as the fuel pressure goes; I believe that the lower limit is 45 psi, although mine is higher with the "blue spring" kit.
Thanks for the tips, and thats a great point 2 stroker about most trucks running low fuel pressure and not even knowing it. I guess I won't sweat it too much until I get the blue spring kit and get it put on early next week. I'll just take her easy! I can't wait to get it put in though. most everyone on here has said they've seen a pretty noticeable improvement once upgrade was done.

Female Hunter Harassed Online After Trophy Photo Goes Viral [VIDEO]
It's unfortunate when a hunter faces online harassment, like this Colorado woman did a year after her trophy photo was posted on Facebook.
The Denver news station CBS 4 reported on the cruel, hateful, and at times terrifying messages sent via online social media outlets and message boards towards the hunter, who is speaking out against her
Charisa Argys has hunted almost her entire life. It's a family tradition, and one of her favorite pastimes. But, when a photo of her holding up a mountain lion she killed legally was posted to anti-huting social media groups, the firestorm of comments came down.
Allegedly the cyber bullying reached extreme levels, when Charisa's full name, address and phone number were posted.
Here is a tame sampling of the comments:
"Let's hunt her!"
"This ugly woman is an embarrassment and shame to all women around the world;"
"I hope she knows how much she's hated. Male or female, I hope they all suffer horrible hunting accidents."
In an average year, 13.7 million hunters participate in the sport, and 11% of them are female. Emerging female demographic markets in the outdoor gear industry are beginning to have large impacts. Still, for some reason, sportswomen who proudly display their hunting heritage are receiving more than their share of flak from anti-hunting groups.
If online commenters knew the full story, especially that Argys was hunting in a place where game management maintains the number of mountain lions, they may not have been so quick to spew their messages. If they knew how important hunting is to wildlife conservation efforts, they may have thought twice.
Unfortunately for Argys and plenty of other hunters who share their experiences publically, they didn't.
I find it inexcusable the way these non hunters bad mouth this young lady for doing what is only natural and necessary. First hunting is as normal as breathing and NO anti hunter or anti hunting organization has ever done anything close to what hunters have done for wildlife. see ( Pittman Robertson act ) .
These people need a life other than trying to ruin someone elses. I applaud this young lady and her hunting ability. Keep up the good work.
Anyone who supports this monster …who supports this violent, selfish, narcissistic, worthless human rubbish {with daddy issues}, who likes to murder God's creation so she can pose over the rotting corpse with a toothy smile like a harlot & a tramp—has sociopathic issues as well.
Jim I couldn't have worded it better myself, and hahaha Dr. Miller do your research instead of sitting in the city, where you've probably never even seen a deer, and preach about how hunting is bad, I love out in the country, hunting is the way I put food on the table, just because you don't have the need for it and think it's "wrong" doesn't give you the right to bad mouth her like that, people have hunted since the beginning of the world, it's natural, I do agree there have been instances where men have over hunted, and personally I am against sport hunting, if your not going to 1. Eat it 2. Use it of some way 3. Or the animal posed a threat, it should not be killed, but hunting has its purposes, and is a way of life that I know hunters, and damn sure me, are not giving up on, ever

LAWRENCEVILLE - A day after breaking ground, the three-year reconstruction of Interstate 85 and Ga. Highway 316 is already behind schedule.On Tuesday, officials announced that plans to close lanes had to be delayed because of wet weather. The work, which had been scheduled to continue today, will not begin until Monday - that is, if weather allows. "We need to move some barrier wall into place so we can start work on the center support column of the Old Norcross Road Bridge over the interstate. Work will take two days to complete," the Georgia Department of Transportation District Engineer Russell McMurry said. "The best way for you to know which lanes are closing, if any are closing on this and all of our construction projects, is to check with our Web site, www.georgianavigator.com." According to the new schedule, crews will close the inside left lane on I-85 southbound at 10 a.m. Monday, and it will remain closed until 5 a.m. Tuesday morning. The lanes will reclose five hours later at 10 a.m. and continue until 5 a.m. Wednesday morning. DOT spokeswoman Teri Pope said the timing is set to keep the construction from interrupting the morning rush hour to downtown. For the northbound traffic, construction has been scheduled to avoid interrupting drivers returning to Gwinnett in the afternoons. Northbound work will begin at 8:30 p.m. Monday night closing the inside left lane from just south of Pleasant Hill Road to just north of Ga. 316. The work will be complete and the lanes reopened by 5 a.m. Tuesday morning. Again, the same work hours will be effective for the second day's work on Tuesday: 8:30 p.m. overnight to 5 a.m. Tuesday. Pope said the DOT knows the $147-million construction job will be bothersome to travelers, but the schedule, she hopes, could keep the distraction to a minimum. Also Monday, the DOT will close the southbound entrance ramp from Boggs Road to I-85. The ramp will be closed for the duration of the project.

As a PFE (Premier Field Engineer) I am very fortunate to work with some of the world's best engineers and colleagues. Starting January 2013 I embarked on the road to deliver the SharePoint 2013 Ignite training in various cities across the U.S., and while in Washington D.C. I met with my colleague and one of the best Lync engineers out there, Doug Deitterick, as he was delivering the Lync 2013 IGNITE Roadshow. I harnessed the opportunity and recorded this MSPFE Video Blog with him talking about the fantastic new features of Lync 2013, such as multi-viewing, an updated full-featured Lync web client. tabbed chat, support for multiple trunks to a single gateway for enterprise voice, and much more.
Here is what Doug had to share with me!

Brad and Angelina Dine Out As Tell-All Book Hits ShelvesLisa Estall
On Tuesday night Brad and Angelina went out in public together to dine at the Dolce Vita restaurant in Beverly Hills. It was also the same day a tell-all book about the couple was released.
The book is called Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and is written by Ian Halperin, who predicts they will breakup by Christmas 2010.
"They've broken up so many times it would make your head spin," Halperin says.
I guess this guy has nothing better to do than write books about celebs and wait for their downfall. Do you plan to read this book?

Given my personal taste, this is really a 3.5. However, I am bumping it up to four stars because, if you like sweetened black tea fragrance with a twist (generally sweet or gourmand is not my thing), I believe that this is worth hunting down even at slightly inflated secondary market prices. This is an Olivia Giacobetti gourmand fragrance for L'Artesan Perfumers with smokey tea, incense, tobacco, with a strong hint of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, anise, vanilla and honey. (I should mention that I am not a fan of Bernard Duchafour or L'Artesan generally or even Olivia Giacobetti (though I used to wear OG's En Passant and I adore even the modern iterations of Almairac's 1993 Voleur de Roses for L'Artesan).
I do love the underlying tea tannins that have a hint of arid tarriness and smoke incense. (I am a fan of CdG's Avignon's rendition of incense). This is not overly tarry or phenolic (which in other fragrances can cause issues with my skin chemistry).
I also love the impression of black chai made without milk and the feeling that the honey and vanilla isn't quite blended in completely. It calls to mind tea done in the manner of 1990s Barney's NY style modern and black. It's urban cosy with just a hint of arid desert. Although I get a hint of arid, it's not overwhelmingly sweet powdery like Fumerie Turque (so my opinion differs that way from a reviewer below). It's also not as sweet as Menchant Loupe.
If it were less sweet, It would be more to my taste. In its favor, it is not artificially flavored like some modern fragrances (what pops to mind is SL's Jeau de Peaux, ugh). Bizarrely, in the heat of summer, I feel like wearing a dab of Guerlain pamplemousse rose (itself an acquired taste) on the back of my neck and a dab of this on the wrists. (I am a dabber, not a sprayer which reduces silage and strength).
If this is Barney's NY, I am a woman who grew up shopping at Bergdorfs; it's just a different kind of thing. I also prefer to wear vintage Caron or Guerlain extrait in winter. Your mileage may vary.
Note: in its favor, it doesn't smell at all mass produced like a drug store chai candle.

I think this is my second review of Tea for Two by L'Artisan. I still have half of the bottle I received as a Christmas gift (by request) several years ago. I was so captivated by this spicy and exotic fragrance for so long. Nothing else topped my list. And my fragrance list is very, very long.
I still love it. I love it so much I was sad but strangely relieved when I heard that L'Artisan discontinued Tea for Two, because it would force me to move on to a new favorite. Lately, I've been trying to fall in love with older, classic fragrances, such as Yves Saint Laurent's Opium (a deep, dark, smoldering oriental). I sprayed the back of my right hand with Opium EDT at Ulta today. Then I ordered a bottle.
But I still cherish the remains of my Tea for Two bottle. I love to spray it on my hair when I'm dressed up for an occasion. It has great staying power, and when I move, I can often smell it floating up from my scarf or clothing.
Even reading the pyramid of notes causes me to crave this fragrance:
Top notes are bergamot, star anise and tea; middle notes are cinnamon, ginger, spices and gingerbread; base notes are honey, vanilla, leather and tobacco.
I don't see star anise in many perfumes. I do see licorice notes at times. Maybe that's what pushes Tea for Two over the line and into a category all its own.
I've read that Tea for Two was marketed as a unisex fragrance. But I find it to be filled with feminine mystique: warm, sensual, and mysterious. Maybe L'Artisan will bring this back. Although my favorites are often discontinued. I felt similar disappointment when L'Occitane discontinued Ambre L`Occitane en Provence for women.
Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens is the only fragrance I can think of that could replace Tea for Two in my collection. Fumerie Turque is accurately categorized as unisex. It's brave, bold, smoky, spicy, and it takes "deep and dark" to the next level. But it possesses no femininity at all.

Either my nose or my skin causes this to just smell Smokey. It reminds me of when women smoke, and then try to cover the smell with perfume. I don't hate it, but I just can't get past the smoke element. My husband even asked me if I'd been around a friend who smokes.

Others have already said it all, it's a lovely unique fragrance. But as much as I love it, I find it somehow too foody. This is what I like my kitchen to smell like on a rainy chilly afternoon. Warm smell of honey, hot tea in the teapot, cozy atmosphere with a touch of something smokey. I am not sure if this is what I want ME to smell like.

This is a wonderful chai tea and vanilla scent. The spices are light and airy (it has a similar impression as Bulgari The Vert, although that is lemony and floral) and the vanilla never gets too cloying or synthetic to me. There's a wonderful, almost smoky and medicinal edge to the opening that I find addictive. I found this to be a good office perfume, and I'm really, really tempted to get a full bottle.

The name does not sum up this fragrance at all. I get very little tea from this. I mostly get a smoky, spicy, slightly sweet oriental fragrance. It kind of smells like those sugar coated jelly candies that had a variety of flavors, and there was one jelly that was spicy, and as a kid I avoided those and ate all the cherry and grape ones. The spicy ones got hard and stale.
Theres something about it that reminds me of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla, but a tamer version. I find it to be a comfort scent. Something to wear for yourself and not for others since the only way other people can smell it is if their noses are smashed up on your skin.
Its a interesting scent but not FBW due to the fact that it has such poor sillage. Longevity is nothing to brag about either. But Ive found this to be the case with all the L'art scents Ive tried so far.

Notes: star anise and tea; cinnamon, ginger, spices; honey and vanilla.
This fragrance opens with a spectacular tea note framed by honey and spices. Although tobacco is not listed as a note, it is definitely present here. The tobacco note adds to the richness of the aroma and blends perfectly with the tea. This is a true comfort scent: it envelops you in its golden warmth and intoxicates you with its delicious fumes. If this fragrance were a place, I�d say it is an English country manor in autumn and tea is served in the library. There are moments the fragrance veers towards Christmas cookie territory, but it never crosses the line, it is an oriental - but not a gourmand scent. Lasts for roughly 6 hours on my skin.

This isn't terrible, but didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Mostly because my skin chemistry seemed to amp the smokiness and cloak all the wonderful spice notes. And I don't get chai from this at all. I'll probably use the rest of my sample but won't bother buying a bottle.

The first time I smelled this fragrance, I thought it smelled chilly. There are spices, yes, but I did not get the impression of warmth from them. However, recently I've been wearing it again and I smell more vanilla along with the spiciness. I really like it. It is easy to wear and not overwhelming. It is cozy without being a one trick pony--I think this would be appropriate for work, running errands, dinner out, or staying at home. I think it is a dignified spicy sweet scent.

Governor Perdue is recognized for his support of the biotechnology industry in Georgia
ATLANTA, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) announced its selection of Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue as 2009 Governor of the Year in recognition of his leadership and support of the biosciences in Georgia.
"Governor Perdue's support of biotechnology has been vital for our industry's success in Georgia," said Jim Greenwood, President and CEO of BIO. "He has been a stalwart advocate of the biosciences in Georgia and truly understands the promise of our industry to provide revolutionary therapies and cures for patients, increase agricultural sustainability and develop alternative fuels. In addition, I would like to personally thank the Governor and his team at the Department of Economic Development for being such great partners in helping to plan and organize the upcoming 2009 BIO International Convention."
Among Governor Perdue's programs is the implementation of the first-ever seed capital and facilities funds focused specifically on the life sciences industry. The Georgia Bioscience seed fund has been used to support 16 start-up companies over the past two years. The life sciences facilities fund assists companies with their facility needs including new building and laboratory construction. Governor Perdue has also allocated, on average, $30 million to $40 million a year towards strengthening research in life sciences and other advanced technologies at the state's universities.
"Governor Perdue recognizes that a robust life sciences industry is essential for the state's economic growth," said Charlie Craig, President of GeorgiaBio. "He has put in place policies that will continue to support Georgia's position as a leading home for biotechnology long after he leaves office."
Research confirms biotechnology's strength in Georgia. Released today,

What an amazing season so far! The season started not the way I wanted, but the City Events and Semmering changed everything. Finally, I won my first World Cup race there and then I won again in the Munich city race. City Events are awesome! It was an incredible week with lots of emotions and even some tears of joy.
After that I did not finish in Zagreb and Flachau although I had a really good run going in Flachau. But that's slalom. It can happen basically 60 times in a run. However, even though I finished fourth place in Maribor I was happy with the day. Sure, I was a bit disappointed because I missed the podium by only 1/100 of a second but that's life. Moscow was quite an experience and I am happy with my 2 nd place.
I love racing all of the City Events and I think FIS should do more of them and even give a unique globe for it. These should not count towards the Slalom World Cup the way it does this year even though I am the biggest beneficiary at the moment. I think I am speaking for most of the athletes here. We love the event but FIS should really think about it and make it right. The City Events are for the tech skiers and the fans, but it is not a regular slalom.
Currently I am on my way to Roma where I will do some physical preparation for the World Champs. On the 5th I will be at ISPO in Munich for some of my sponsors like Shred! Right after that I will start with my preparation on the hill for the
Champs in Schladming.
Keep your fingers crossed and thanks for your support!

Victimology 101 at Yale
While the rest of the university tightens its belt, guess who's exempted from the austerity campaign?
Mar 16, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 25 • By HEATHER MAC DONALD
Many students come to college asking the question: Who am I? At its best, a liberal arts education responds to that question by pushing students outside of their limited selves and into the vast reaches of human imagination and experience. It assumes that students can enter lives radically different from their own-that a Chinese-American girl, say, can find meaning in Odysseus' quest to return home-and that they can start to participate in a centuries-long conversation that contains sorrows and fears that most 18-year-olds can barely imagine. No freshman can understand the battle between Lear and his daughters, but 40 years later, it might return to him with a deep pang of recognition. Thomas Hobbes's warning regarding the ever-present threat of anarchy will likely remain wholly abstract for secure American students until they have seen more of the world. When they have, however, his articulation of the fragility of social order may echo in their minds as terrifyingly true.
Today's solipsistic university, however, allows students to answer the "Who am I?" question exclusively, rather than inclusively. Identity politics defines the self by its difference from as many other people as possible, so as to increase the underdog status of one's chosen identity group. (Women have commandeered an underdog identity even though they are the majority on campuses; that no one objects is a measure of their clout.) And because the robust growth of the student services bureaucracy depends on the proliferation of identity groups, administrations busy themselves with identity-based constituencies that might not even exist.
Yale's Committee on Gender-Neutral Housing, composed of the dean of student affairs, the Council of Masters chair, the associate dean for physical resources and planning, and the special assistant to the deans for LGBTQ affairs, has been meeting since the fall of 2007 to decide whether Yale should allow juniors and seniors to live with roommates of the opposite sex, an accommodation demanded in the name of transgender students. (Yale, along with Princeton, is the only Ivy not to have authorized so-called gender-neutral housing.) There is no suggestion in any of the news coverage that Yale has tried to determine how many transgender students are actually enrolled at Yale.
Indeed, Trumpler opposes requiring students to identify themselves as transgender in order to qualify for mixed-gender housing. This don't-ask-don't-tell policy is doubly convenient-it preserves the mystery around whether the "T" in LGBTQ actually has any local referent, and it allows heterosexual students to shack up. But only someone ensnared by heteronormativity would suppose that this latter group would seek mixed-gender housing for carnal purposes. Junior Emma Sloan told the Yale Daily News that the idea that men and women are necessarily attracted to the opposite sex is "antiquated."
While the drive to define oneself oppositionally is good for student services administrators, it is not so good for education. Can a student who is furiously itemizing the many ways she has been dissed as a female of color or a lesbian, say, lose herself in the opalescent language of A Midsummer Night's Dream or hear the aching melancholy in Wordsworth's "Intimations" ode? She will have been taught to scour books for slights to, or affirmations of, her own self, but neither the play nor the poem is directly about her carefully cultivated identity.
Yale's sprawling student services bureaucracy is drearily typical. It matters not whether a college is private or public, large or small; all are encrusted with layers of expendable adults catering to students' most narcissistic tendencies. The growth in this bureaucracy helps explain exploding annual tuition costs, which at elite private colleges now run over half the median family income.
In the years ahead, expect to see a new constituency pushing for the expansion of identity-based services and courses: graduates of the solipsistic university. Older alumni might have provided a brake on the trivialization of their alma maters; instead they blindly shoveled hundreds of millions of dollars into colleges about whose radical transformation they preserved a carefully cultivated ignorance. Now those older alumni are being replaced by younger generations who take for granted that universities should cultivate students' narrowly defined identities. Yale, for example, administers two alumni funds to support undergraduates pursuing LGBT studies; their respective donors come from the classes of '83 and '85. Other identity fiefdoms in colleges across the country have their own recent alumni patrons.
Yale's new Office of LGBTQ Resources is initially funded at $20,000 a year, obviously a minute fraction of the college's $100 million deficit for 2009-10. But the costs of the office exceed its immediate budget. By perpetuating the premise that Yale not only should officially recognize students' balkanized identities but has still not satisfactorily done so, LGBTQ Resources guarantees ongoing student demands and continues distorting the idea of a liberal arts education. Yale could take that $20,000 and purchase every low-income student a complete Shakespeare, the Federalist Papers, and all the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. It could fund a Ph.D. candidate to conduct an evening reading group on the Enlightenment philosophers. Surely such endeavors would contribute more to the expansion of students' minds than making another offering to their self-regard.
In his December 2008 letter on Yale's budget problems, President Richard Levin affirmed the university's mission of "educating the most talented and promising students for leadership and service." Teaching students to identify phantom insults to their egos doesn't train them for leadership and service but merely for future whining. The economic crisis is the perfect opportunity for every college to say to its students: "We recognize you as young people forged from a common humanity. We hope to cultivate in you humility regarding the limits of your knowledge, a passion to overcome those limits, and a deep gratitude for the landmarks of human thought that it will be your privilege to study for the next four years. We are dismantling the college's multicultural, identity-based services because you don't need them. Find yourselves by engaging with beauty, intellectual complexity, and each other."

Fifty Shades of Anaïs Nin.
You can keep Anastasia and Christian.
I'm going back to my Anaïs Nin.
I noticed it came up over and over in our discussions on elephant about Fifty Shades of Grey: "skip that stuff and go for Anaïs Nin."
So true. Such a powerful writer. And Waylon mentioned earlier when we were debating about Fifty Shades that media always seems to say, every decade or so, "here's a book or television show that finally empowers women to talk about sexuality!"
Well, Anaïs Nin was so empowered, and empowering, a full century ago.
In her own words on love, sexuality and many things in between:
1. "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
2. "I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."3. "I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."
4. "I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don't know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness. In reality those who satisfy me are those who simply allow me to live with my 'idea of them.'"
5. "Do not seek the because—in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions."
6. "Shame is the lie someone told you about yourself."
7. "You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars."
8. "I hate men who are afraid of women's strength."
9. "There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don't work."
10. "Our love of each other was like two long shadows kissing without hope of reality."
11. "You cannot save people. You can only love them."
12. "Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy."
13. "When one is pretending, the entire body revolts."
14. "Passion gives me moments of wholeness."
15. "I have decided that it is better not to love anyone, because when you love people, then you have to be separated from them, and that hurts too much."
16. "The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy."
17. "It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before… to test your limits… to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to stay tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
18. "Don't wait for it," I said. "Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you."
19. "The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or a woman, it's what we lack in ourselves."
20. "Stories do not end."
So, that's only twenty. But stories do not end.
Keep writing.
Write it with your bones, with your sweat, with your kisses.
Write it with shoulders colliding and tangled knees.
Write it from thousands of miles apart.
Write it from the opposite sides of the room.
Write with a whisper, with sighs, with the words that are stuck in your throat.
Write from where you ache, where there used to be fingerprints, where it's hollow.
Write with your fever, with loneliness, with ecstasy.
Write by yourself in the thin hours that stretch between too late and too early.
Write to a lover.
Write to a stranger.
Write to the one you just thought of when I said, "write to 'the one.'"
All the "tie me up, tie me down, spank me" madness in the world can't hold a candle to the raw beauty of two people, fearlessly baring themselves (and not just their bodies). Write your own story.
Like all fifty shades of elephant journal gets sexy on Facebook.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

I <3 Anais Nin, her writing never fails to get me hot and bothered.
Anais Nin rocks because she demonstrates how eroticism is truly in the mind. Get the mind tickled, everything follows.
Good stuff, Kate.
Wow! I wanna read everything Anais Nin ever wrote now, thank you!
You know there's a perfume…Anais Anais…my personal favorite. : )
mine too!!
Damn, woman. That was fantastic. All your words went straight to my heart. Thank you.
Man-fred is the man I am going to love. He may not yet be born. I have often loved men who are not yet born.
LOVE this. I read the first chapter of 50 shades and made roughly the same comment about Anais Nin. Thanks.
Thanks for expressing this sentiment. Mass culture has a short attention span, and memory.
[…] Personally I'd take some Anais Nin over E. L. James any day. […]
[…] Nin in her own words on love, sexuality and many things in […]
[…] […]
[…] […]
[…] ~ Anais Nin […]
[…] Write it like a love story, to the one who got away, the one you never met, the one sitting on the other side of the room. […]
I have never read any of her books. Suggestions on where to start??
I love Anais Nin. Her writing is exquisite. Her work shouldn't even be included in the same discussion as Fifty Shades of Garbage

The findings were reported Thursday at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference in San Diego.
Nearly 5 percent of the participants in the trial suffered from stroke during an average of five years of follow-up. The risk was lower in patients who followed the vitamin regimen, although the researchers described the difference as "modest."
The study's statistics suggest the vitamin therapy would help 13 out of 1,000 subjects avoid a stroke.
Several groups gained more benefit from the vitamin treatment: people younger than 70, those who had higher cholesterol and homocysteine levels at the start of the study, those from areas without folic acid fortification in food, and those who weren't receiving antiplatelet drugs (such as Plavix) or cholesterol-lowering statins at the start of the study.
The vitamin therapy didn't appear to have an effect on the severity of stroke that some of the participants suffered.
Another study presented at the same meeting found that taking recommended doses of B vitamins reduced homocysteine levels and lowered the chances of another stroke in stroke patients.
The University of California, Los Angeles, researchers collected demographic, clinical and laboratory data on more than 3,000 stroke patients at the start of the study and in follow-up visits of six, 12 and 24 months.
The vitamin group was less likely to have a recurrent stroke by the end of the two-year study (13.4 percent vs. 20.3 percent), the team found
Vitamins aside, experts said a healthy diet is the best way to guard against stroke.
"The best anti-stroke diet is high in vegetables and fruits, including high-fiber produce, low in saturated and trans fat, and higher in plant-based unsaturated fats [such as olive oil, unsalted nuts and avocado], with enough calcium, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids and at a calorie level that helps maintain a healthy weight,"

Stockholm, Sweden: A second-generation experimental anti-obesity and diabetes drug has shown promise in reducing body weight in rodents just as effectively as the predecessor rimonabant while avoiding the risk of psychiatric side effects that led to the withdrawal of rimonabant from the market and stopped further development of other brain-penetrating drugs of its type.
The first generation of anti-obesity drugs that targeted the cannabinoid receptor CB1 such as rimonabant - showed great promise as a therapy for obesity and related diseases such as diabetes. However, they were troubled by risk of psychiatric side effects. Rimonabant was withdrawn from the European market following a recommendation by the European Medicines Agency in late 2008, while further development of other similar products was halted.
However, in a study presented today (Monday) at the International Congress on Obesity in Stockholm, Sweden, Danish researchers demonstrated in rodents that a new first-in-class, second-generation CB1 receptor blocker induced the same degree of weight loss as rimonabant while not exposing the brain to significant levels of the drug. The drug was designed to act selectively in peripheral tissues and organs, in contrast with the first generation of CB1 receptor blockers, which also significantly affected the brain.
"These findings, together with what we have seen in our first human study regarding the safety and tolerability, make this drug candidate a promising therapy for obesity and diabetes. The lack of significant exposure in the brain seen in our preclinical experiments provides optimism that blockade of the CB1 receptor may still be an effective and safe approach to treat obesity and related diseases," said Christian E. Elling, Vice President at 7TM Pharma A/S in Hoersholm, Denmark, who presented the findings at the conference. "This is, to our knowledge, the first peripheral CB1 drug candidate being tested in humans and t

is the headrest/headwing optional on the carseat? Meaning, is it safe to remove it?
One of our car seats is the Eddie Bauer seat and it appears that the head rest is removable and I wondered if its safe to remove it? I cant find any mention of it in the user manual.
This is the seat...
And the top part is what I am wondering can be removed and be safe to travel in still? When Nathan sleeps in the seat he has a hard time keeping his head back and I think with it out it would be more comfortable.
TIA for the help!
Eddie Bauer Enspira ?
is the headrest/headwing optional on the carseat? Meaning, is it safe to remove it?
Comments (4)
No, the headrest is part of the structure of the seat and cannot be removed. You could try moving it up a notch and see if that helps.
Melanie, mommy of:
Victoria 04/07/04 Brooklyn 23/10/06 Lucas 07/07/09
I'm confused - I posted the same question on old BBC's car seat board and was told it was optional and I could take it off. Oiy...
Guess I will call the company on Monday to see what they say...
No, there's no padding behind the headrest, It's just hard plastic behind it, no padding, I have one too. Have you ever removed the cover to wash it? If you do you'll see what I mean. Call Dorel if you want and check, post back.
Melanie, mommy of:
Victoria 04/07/04 Brooklyn 23/10/06 Lucas 07/07/09
do you mean the infant head rest that like helps keep their head up straight? that comes off. but the actual headrest on the part that moves up and down to adjust height that has to stay on i think. let me know what the company said i am curious about that too.

Not even the completion of a game 14 years in the making was enough to stop both console and PC videogame sales from slipping in June. According to market research firm NPD Group, retail sales of videogame hardware, software, and accessories fell to $995 million in June 2011, down 10 percent from one year prior. Sales of just software tumbled 12 percent to $469.5 million, or 10 percent to $508.9 million when including PC games.
The numbers don't tell the whole story, in part because some are missing. NPD's report doesn't include online sales. Moreover, some publishers performed well in the month of June, especially Take Two, whose LA Noire and Duke Nukem Forever were the top two performers with 419,000 and 376,000 copies sold, respectively. Sony's Infamous 2, exclusive to the PlayStation 3, was the third best selling game for the month. Rounding out the top 10 list are Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Call of Duy: Black Ops, NBA 2K11, Mortal Kombat 2011, Cars 2, and Just Dance 2.
Comparatively slow as June might have been, the games industry isn't flinching. Electronic Arts, for example, recently announced plans to purchase PopCap games for $750 million, while Zynga filed for an IPO.

Company taking steps to transform its business; employment to be reduced by
up to 500
INDIANAPOLIS, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced a streamlining of a portion of its manufacturing operations in Indianapolis. These actions, which affect sites that manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients for the insulin products Humalog(R) and Humulin(R) as well as for the osteoporosis medicine Forteo(R), will align manufacturing capacity and engineering support services with the needs of the business.
Lilly is offering a voluntary exit program to employees in selected areas, with enhanced financial incentives for those who leave the company. In total, the voluntary program is expected to reduce Lilly's Indianapolis employment by up to 500 people, predominantly in manufacturing but with a small portion in selected areas of research and development.
"For several years we have focused on strategic efforts to lower costs, increase flexibility, and improve productivity across the business," said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly president and chief executive officer. "This strategy calls for reducing investments in some areas while increasing investments in others, and the streamlining decisions announced today are an example of this."
Added Lechleiter, "We are constantly assessing our manufacturing capacity and taking the necessary steps to align it with the demands of the business. In particular, we must align our production capacity with anticipated customer demands over a time period in which some products will lose patent protection while other new products are launched."
"While these are necessary decisions, they are difficult becaus

Do you ever wish you could just quietly sink into a hole or melt into the background to avoid someone? Well, unfortunately for us, we're not usually allowed to do that, but it's a legitimate survival strategy in the animal world, especially for insects and fish. Lots of our animal cousins blend into their backgrounds with color patterns that match bark, grasses, and other habitats, but some go the extra mile: they pretend to be someone else.
1. Leafy sea dragon Check out the picture below. Looks like a clump of kelp or something, right?
Look again. What you're actually seeing is a leafy sea dragon, a seahorse relative found in Australia. While it might not have the same sleek, familiar body type as the seahorse, it does have another trick up its sleeve: it hides from potential predators by looking like some boring old ocean detritus. Like the seaweeds they imitate, they drift through the ocean waters, and yes, the men are responsible for raising the young of the household. Gender progressivism and camouflage in one package!
2. Owl butterfly
You know how it is. You're drifting through the evening looking for an insect to round off your meal when you suddenly spot an owl that looks ready to chow down. Time to duck out of the way and head in the opposite direction before you're noticed. Only this time, you got totally played by a butterfly: a butterfly with a big eye spot designed to stand out, looking like the eyes of a hungry owl glowing in the dark.
3. Mimic Octopus
One of my personal favorites, and not just because I love octopi.
The mimic octopus, native to Indonesia, takes color-changing very seriously. It doesn't just blend in with its background; it's capable of pretending to be other ocean animals in addition to plants, hiding in plain sight from potential predators and prey alike. In this image, it's pretending to be a cluster of poisonous sea snakes. But it's not just faking the look: these intelligent creatures also mimic the behaviors of the animals they're impersonating. Pretty nifty, eh?

The Struggles of Being in an Inter-faith Relationship
It's hard for me to put into words what it's like to be in an inter-faith relationship. In some respects it's the hardest thing I've ever done and in other ways it's completely natural. If you had asked me 6 years ago if I would ever consider dating a non-Christian guy, I definitely would have said no, but it seems that Cupid has no knowledge of these things when he takes aim at unsuspecting passersby.

The capital has witnessed the emergence of more and higher rising towers, new restaurants and see-and-be-seen nightclubs. But at the same time, the city has managed to retain its very individual charm. The small tea houses in the backyards, the traditional fabric shops, the old temples and the noisy street restaurants make this city special.

To a large extent, the success of any information system, such as an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), will depend on its usability or ability to be easily understood and conveniently employed by a user. Usability is a term with varied meanings, but it generally refers to the ease in which a system or its components can be used. For example, with an ITS, given an in-vehicle display, usability translates into how easy ITS decision making is about whether to take an alternative route, or a particular exit, or whether to delay a trip. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how "usability analyses" can assist developers in designing ITS, formerly known as Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS). Drawing its theoretical base from human factors, cognitive psychology, technical communication, ethnography, and business, usability evaluation can help ensure a good match between the information provided by an ITS and users' information needs. Specifically, a usability analysis can help match the ITS capabilities to the users' needs, goals, and risk-taking comfort levels. Our basic premise is that for an ITS to be successfully employed and accepted by the public, its design must be based on principles of human factors. One of major themes of the human factors approach is to involve the user early in the design of the system. As shown below, usability analysis is a methodology that, if properly employed, will accomplish the goal of early user involvement in ITS design.
The relevance of usability analysis for ITS design is readily apparent when one considers some of the various components of an ITS. An ITS will consist

NATICK, Mass., April 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) today announced special items that will reduce its GAAP earnings for the first quarter. The Company plans to release its first quarter financial results on April 20.
As the Company disclosed last month, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the District Court's decision that Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) Bx Velocity(R) and Cypher(R) Stent Systems infringe Boston Scientific's patent and that the patent is valid. The Appeals Court reversed the District Court with respect to J&J's infringement claims against the TAXUS(R) Liberte(R) Stent and instructed the District Court to dismiss those claims with prejudice. The Company expects to receive a favorable financial award based on the Appeals Court's ruling, but in accordance with accounting regulations the Company will wait until payment is assured before recording any related gain.
In addition, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision that Boston Scientific's Express(R), TAXUS(R) Express(R) and Liberte(R) Stents infringe one J&J patent and that the patent is valid. The Court also affirmed that Boston Scientific's Liberte Stent infringes a second J&J patent and that the patent is valid. The Company will record an accrual of $237 million ($197 million after-tax) in the first quarter for its estimated exposure on this ruling, in accordance with accounting regulations. This amount represents an estimate of the low end of the range of potential outcomes related to this matter. The range is subject to substantial estimation, including attempting to determine the possible future findings of a jury. As such, the high end of the range cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
A damages trial on the above infringements has not been scheduled
