Police release video of man wanted in stabbing at northwest Oklahoma City home
Police are looking for a man accused of stabbing a man in the victim's northwest Oklahoma City home.
The victim — who suffered stab wounds to his back, torso, chin and arms Feb. 5 — drove himself to the emergency room, where police interviewed him before he underwent surgery, according to the police report.
Gerardo Martinez, 59, told police a man approached him at a parking lot near the Union Bus Station and told him, "Hey, we know each other through Monster." "Monster" is a homeless man Martinez knows, according to the report.
Martinez told police he did not recognize the man, but thought they might have met and invited the man to his house at 1021 NW 31. He said they were in his TV room/bedroom having a conversation when the man picked up an empty beer bottle and hit him over the head with it.
The man then stabbed Martinez with a small pocket knife. Martinez grabbed a shovel and hit the man, who fled, according to the report.
Police released a video of the attacker taken at a convenience store before he went to Martinez's home.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 235-7300.

Anyone have one done off base at a hospital? They do them right? Trying to decide if I should spend the money on one just before 17 weeks or just wait until I arrive and get it done at 20 weeks. I don't want to waste my money going in too early at 17 weeks if they cannot see what they need to see. I am most likely going to be going to Adventist. I assume they do them in Japan.

I'm not military so I go to Adventist for all my appointments. They do an ultrasound at every visit. You'll have to call though because they may not be taking new patients. I see Dr. Vaughn. He was able to guess boy at 15 weeks and confirmed it at 19 weeks. My EDD is 2 days after you :)
Posted 12/15/2011
Oh, if Adventist can't take you then try Chubu. I go to church with someone whose husband does contracting work in the military and she went there for all her appointments and to deliver. Once you get further along there is a 4-D ultrasound place for only 4000 yen (at least that's what it was in 2010). If you bring a VHS they will record the whole thing and they also print out pictures for you.

Tell us a little bit about Summit State Bank.
We are a local community bank here to serve Sonoma County with the highest standards of service and innovative banking technology. Summit State Bank is committed to finding ways to support our community and our economy. We support our customers by buying their products and using their services whenever possible. We believe that by banking locally, you are making a difference in our community's economy by helping fund local loans, provide local jobs and even supporting local nonprofits that provide life-changing services in our community.
Summit State Bank was the first Sonoma County community bank to launch Mobile Deposit, and has since launched Mobile Banking. Summit also recently launched their $50 million Sonoma County Small Business Lending Program to support small businesses and nonprofits with the resources needed to strengthen and grow.
From talking with your business customers, where do you see potential areas of economic vitality for Sonoma County?
Increasingly, I see more and more economic vitality from those businesses that are more lifestyle oriented. Sonoma County is becoming increasingly driven and transformed by individuals seeking a piece or being part of our unique lifestyle.
Sonoma County has so much to offer, with our premium wineries, local produce and quality food, good climate and even our appealing cycling culture that is among the best of the world. Tourists are coming in increasing numbers to spend time in Sonoma County. We are attracting many who are moving here full-time to experience the bounty that makes up Sonoma County.
We are finding that those businesses that are involved in these lifestyle-related activities are actually thriving in this current environment. The best example of this is in Healdsburg. In the past thirty days alone, more than 10 new businesses have opened, including mostly lifestyle-related businesses like restaurants and wine bars. Sonoma County is becoming not only a destination for travel, but also a permanent destination for living as we offer such a rich and rewarding lifestyle.
One of the issues facing our local, state and national economy is the pace of lending for business expansion. Small businesses have been hesitant to take on debt and regulators have raised the level of scrutiny. How can we break out of this vice?
Breaking out of this vice requires a change in perspective and expectations. To avoid another or further fallout in our economy, we must evaluate why this crisis was initially created – mostly due to an over-extension of credit. More conservative lending practices are crucial to our economy's healing and long-term viability. This may not help with the short-term vice, but is the answer for moving forward in a healthy and vibrant economy.

Alambanapariksa and Vritti
ISBN13:by Sastri, N. Aiyaswami
Jain Pub Co
The Alambana-pariksa, "Examination of the Object of Consciousness," seeks to establish that the object of consciousness (alambana) as it appears to us is unreal; only consciousness is real. Dinnaga (or Dignaga) was a student of Vasubandhu, and this text, although brief, is an influential work of the Citta-matra or Mind-Only school. Dinnaga is most famous as the author of the Pramana-samuccaya and founding father of the Buddhist school of logic, and he here uses reasoning to establish his thesis. This book includes Dharmapala's commentary, retranslations into Sanskrit from Chinese and Tibetan, English translations, and Tibetan texts.

Self Catering Holiday Cottages in Windermere
Welcome to Windermere
The most famous of the Lakeland towns and villages, Windermere, a bustling miniature metropolis at the absolute heart of the Lakes, is the premier destination for a Lake District holiday. Named after the lake around which the town has grown, Windermere has been one of the UK's most popular areas for holiday homes and summer houses, since the arrival of the Kendal and Windermere railway line in 1847.
Formed 13,000 years ago from two glaciers - the first the Troutbeck Valley and the second the Fairfield Horseshoe - Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. Known as a ribbon lake, there are 18 islands on Windermere, the largest of which, Belle Island is now privately owned. Although originally known as Winder Mere, because the lakebed is deeper than it is wide, Windermere is actually a lake.
The area is also home to our wonderful selection of Windermere cottages.

Nicely designed infographics from BA21′s favorite e-commerce platform. Just to point out we began designing for Shopify back in 2008, when they first started their affiliate program (20% gross on Shopify plan cost, paid out monthly to PayPal). If you're wondering what's all the fuss about feel free to signup for a trial account.
What I love about the new Shopify is the theme customization panel. It's live, near-instant preview and now themes can easily write in custom content modules allowing for no-fail homepage redesign. Settings configuration can be saved for no-hassle theme switching. Truly designed for the end-user.

IBM's vision for making blockchain a powerful new business solution across multiple industries is becoming a reality as our clients begin piloting innovative new code, services and z Systems optimized for distributed ledgers," said Krishna. "These advancements are making it easier for developers to move from understanding the potential of blockchain, to actually using it to change their business processes in powerful new ways.
Sharp site design.
Wow, I wonder how many sites actually get hacks this way.
Great new website from the Ethereum project. Nice design. Looking forward to seeing how this Ethereum eco-system develops. Welcome to the Frontier Wild West of decentralized blockchain-based cryptographically secure networking. Where anything's possible, and anything can go wrong!
Interesting post about 'sliders', mostly true.
A full bitcoin node for building web applications.
Nice site. Great news for developers. Downloading…
Really neat idea. Will report back on any ingenious designs with the programmable arduino - now with bluetooth!
Wow. One day the gov announce new regulations for Bitcoin-supporting companies and the next- none other than Dell announces support for the new exchange Coinbase. Nice FAQs write-up for newbies (quoted below):
How to pay with bitcoin
When you're ready to make a purchase, just add your items to your cart, fill out your shipping details and choose Bitcoin as your payment method. When you submit your order, you'll be taken to Coinbase.com to complete your purchase.
From here, you can choose to pay directly from your bitcoin wallet by using the generated payment address or by scanning the QR code with your smartphone. Or, if you have a Coinbase account, you can log in and send payment directly.
Once your payment has been processed, you'll be returned to Dell.com for order confirmation. It's as simple as that!
Bitcoin FAQs
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a distributed peer-to-peer network offering a payment system based on "bitcoin", a completely digital form of currency. Bitcoin can be transferred instantly and securely between any two people in the world.
Why is Dell accepting bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a new payment option intended to offer even more flexibility for customers. Bitcoin payments can be made easily from anywhere in the world, and offer reduced payment processing costs.
What are the benefits of bitcoin for consumers?
You have complete control over your bitcoin, so your bitcoin account isn't tied to any financial institutions, can't be frozen and carries lower transaction fees than most major credit cards.
How do I obtain bitcoins?
To get bitcoin, first you'll first create a bitcoin wallet. This is the account from which you can send and receive bitcoin. Once you have a wallet, you can purchase bitcoin from an exchange that converts traditional currency to bitcoin. Bitcoin can also be mined, though this requires high levels of processing power.
What is a bitcoin wallet?
A bitcoin wallet is a secure way to store your bitcoin balance. You can send and receive bitcoin from your wallet at any time, from anywhere in the world, so long as you have an internet connection. You can sign up for a wallet from Coinbase.com.
Is bitcoin secure?
There are thousands of computers ("miners") constantly running software to ensure the safety of the bitcoin network, which has never once been compromised.
What is Coinbase?
Coinbase is the world's largest platform for buying and selling bitcoins for US dollars at the current market rate. As both an exchange and a bitcoin wallet, Coinbase offers a place to securely store, send and receive bitcoin with minimal to no fees, and can process bitcoin payments to Dell even without a Coinbase account.
Coin-based crowdfunding enables fans and supporters to support the efforts of musical artists and other creative types, enabling a token-based economy within the artist's fan base where the coin token can become a two-way "language of value" between an artist and his or her fans. This provides additional avenues for promotion, residual fund-raising, community building, incentivization and mobilization, and more.
BA21 web+media
Building great looking websites that are easy to maintain since 2002.
Fresh portfolio update for 2014.
"The Emerging Global Web" is a great slideshow illustrating the evolution of social media, ecommerce, and mobile networking.
It's not cheap, but if you've got a largish ecommerce site and need better service, I can tell you Shopify has not disappointed BA21's clients. (We started affiliating with Shopify, just about from the get-go. The design/development platform is great, and the hosting environment offers plenty of plug-n-play payment options, plugins, and extensibility.)
"Soon you will be able to come up with a cool concept and go 'public', raise capital from all over the world and, if your idea is good, effectively become a million-dollar company in a matter of minutes."
To me the blockchain is not about the grocery store payments or even online ecommerce. The Mastercard debit card works just fine there and habits change slowly. I expect the 'blockchain's killer app' will emerge from the 'attention economy' and social networks where millions of users create and curate content every day. And it will happen sooner than we all expect.
Interesting space.
Great confirmation from this blog post and youtube interview with Nick Liow about his exciting digital publishing model. His site Commonly is the first example I've seen which refers to ransoming-content-into-the-free-domain. I'm sure there are others - like unglue.it which does something similar for ebook publishing. Searching for others who share this ideal. Interested? Shoot me an email.
Great idea. Nice site. Thinking alot lately about new models for publishing online.
Great simple designer site.
There is so much to UX, it's hard to capture what it means. At least I can try to so for what it means to me personally; the view I believe in.
Sprout Bottle
Brand new photography of the labels, 4-pack packaging, as well as the website for this great new product designed by BA21 exclusively for Paige Mattson and her husband (and toddler) this past fall 2013.
Just in time for the holidays! Check out Sprout Bottle.
Zurb Ink is for email as Zurb Foundation is for the web. Zurb teased us late last year with their responsive email templates but they have now taken it one huge step further. They have created a easy to use responsive framework that is available with the same permissive MIT license. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to use this new framework with MailChimp, my newsletter and email provider. Turns out, it was super simple. Lets take a look at how I went about it.
Ensure your email campaigns look good on any device with our responsive email templates.

PCC Wired
Fresh redesign for a multi-site Church website. Refresh Perspective hired me to help develop the website, working with the designer hand-offs. I developed the website with Wordpress and utilized the Roots theme framework and is responsive to mobile, tablet and desktop sizes. It was a pleasure to work with Ryan Liverman and the Refresh team and it's great to see the site online.
Open Framework provides sophisticated responsive behaviors that are based on Twitter Bootstrap code, but at a whole lot more. The foundation for building complex layouts with Open Framework is a set of new responsive regions that enable using a combination of several multi-device layout patterns, allowing for a much more fine-tuned and controllable responsive behavior for your site.
A fork of the Roots wordpress theme framework. Roots is really quite smart.
The adoption of CSS preprocessors has grown a lot over the past few years. One of the major complaints that people have voiced regarding preprocessors is the inability to see where your CSS rules come from when inspecting elements with developer tools.
Source maps allow you to view the original source file and line numbers from your CSS even when you're loading the generated CSS file.
Source maps support has been available for Sass, but LESS only recently added source maps support with the release of LESS 1.5.0.
Interesting new post about using Wordpress to create web apps.
Nice write-up. Just wrapped up a largish project with Bootstrap 3 and it is indeed a clever and elegant grid solution.
Front-end developer tools for websites and apps
via cameronmoll:
Yesterday Adobe unveiled Adobe Generator, an update for Creative Cloud subscribers who primarily use Photoshop for the web. The update is available immediately.
WebdesignerDepot has written a nice overview of Generator, which I'll substitute for my own commentary on the matter.
I will, however, observe the following:
- I've yet to install the update (that won't happen until I'm at my main computer tomorrow), but the ability to export image assets without having to Save for Web seems incredibly useful.
- Million dollar idea: 1) fork Photoshop, 2) call it simply Webshop, 3) iterate new web-specific features like Generator, 4) quell public outcry about PS falling short for web work.
- Perhaps Generator will also quell complaints about the Creative Cloud subscription model. Immediate updates such as this are the perfect counter-argument. (I've been a subscriber nearly since day one, and I'm loving it.)
Great rss feed reader I've been using since Google Reader left the web is now open source. Interesting move.
New Apple Mac Pro marketing promotion is quite impressive.
Sounds good, tumblresque.
We've been doing iOS development in-house at 37signals for over a year! Since the launch of the Basecamp for iPhone app we've had a lot of questions about our development & design process going mobile, our opinions on the new environment, and more. Recently our team has participated in some interviews about how we made the app, and I think you'll learn a lot from them.
Ryan was interviewed by Hipmob about the design process of the app, and the issues we've faced on mobile platforms:
The biggest challenge for a company like ours is to change our way of thinking because, we grew up when the web was just a laptop thing. We learned on laptops and we defined our notion of what software is on laptops and desktops, and it's really changing.
Check out the whole interview transcript for more great perspectives and insights on mobile development.
I was lucky to be invited to the 4th monthly MotionMeetup, a moderated Q&A session with various RubyMotion developers. They asked questions about what I learned making the Basecamp app, what advice I'd give to newcomers to the platform, and why I hate bees:
Thanks to both Hipmob and Iconoclast Labs for their time and energy spent on these.
After much anticipation (I had hoped it would be available sooner, ce la vie), enjoy this video recording from my unscripted philosophy talk at Swannanoa Palace during the Center of the One Heart homecoming festival this past September. It was quite an experience to present in the palace with such a warm and welcoming community. Instead of a scripted rehash of data points and visuals, I chose simply to further introduce my spiritual teacher Thomas John Ringrose, his teaching and community which serve as a primary original and previously unpublished source for my budding spiritual philosophy Akasha Gnosis. Duration: 36:06. Thanks for watching and 'ask' away. Blessings, Cameron
Remember one thing: When Jesus was on the earth, all manner of Christ spirit that were on the earth to, that when anyone who came in conjunction to this spirit, their whole lives and future lives were changed and altered considerably. But those who did not listen and turned a deaf ear, their lives would have to wait another two-thousand [2,000] years on the earth plane to listen to it with the physical ears again.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light; but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
But when a wrong, no matter how flagrant, has continued for a long period of time, people get habituated to it, and it becomes difficult to rouse them to a sense of their duty to resist it, and no less difficult to convince the world that it is a wrong at all.
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
Thus, from the first divine contract and the pure region where truth abides, a continuous chain of mercies and light extends to humanity, through every epoch, and will be prolonged to the end of time, until it returns to the abode from which it descends, taking with it all the peaceful souls it shall have collected in its course; that we may know that it was Love which opened, directed, and closed the circle of all things.
A new birth nor the noble stone is found in struggle, nor in any wisdom of reason; you must let go of everything in the world, however brilliant it may be, and enter into yourself, and do nothing more than gather your sins, which poison you, into a heap and cast them to the mercy of God and sour to God, ask Him to forget them, that He may enlighten you with his spirit.
As a planet we are approaching a simultaneous convergence of astrophysical cycles, occult trends, metaphysical plans, and alien agendas. This convergence represents a schism or nexus point, a discontinuity in human history that will throw the prevailing order into chaos. From this chaos will arise any number of new orders. Whatever the outcome, over the long term the future will not simply be a linear progression of current technological trends, but rather a full scale precipitation of esoteric/alien/occult factors that for now have remained sub rosa.
"I hereby declare this sculptural group of the Four Freedoms to be our symbol of Freedom to the World and dedicate it to honor those legions who have given their lives for Freedom and to our fighting forces. May it be an inspiration to them now and a lasting tribute to their victory. May the protecting wings of these angels hover over them, guard and keep them, and reunite the world in lasting unity and peace. God bless you all."
From the sculpture dedication by Walter Russell, The Four Freedoms, image from: philosophy.org/gallery/sculpture text found in: The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe, p57
Man's knowledge is his power. His thinking is the expression of that power. The expression of power is not power; therefore thinking is not power.
As man gradually becomes aware of his omniscience, his thinking intensifies in voltage in proportion to the increase in awareness of his omniscience.
Thinking is an electric wave extension from the centering fulcrum of knowledge which seemingly divides knowledge into ideas and sets those ideas in motion to create forms of ideas as product of knowledge.
These acts are born from fragmented and shallow thinking. Simply put, thought becomes an emotional response and this response moves us to act. Ergo, when the thinking is corrupt, the act is corrupt. When nearly all actions are corrupt, we no longer recognize the corruption. This exchanging of truth for lies, this reversal of values, has been imposed upon us, little by little, and has become "normal" to the population at large. This is a travesty. We are drowning in a Deluge of our own making! Building the Ark that will carry us through this Deluge involves first recognizing this Truth, and then following the instructions on how to build an Ark! That is, we must struggle mightily to acquire objectivity via a valid esoteric method that faces the facts of the impending dissolution and gives practical instruction on how to navigate the flood.
Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.
The most rejuvenating idea of all, and the greatest step to any true illumination, is the realization that your exterior life springs from the invisible world of your reality through your conscious thoughts and beliefs, for then you realize the power of your individuality.
In the dark, fathomless night of ignorance,
Love is a torch that brings light.
The hawk is also a correspondence (of Kether). Bearing in mind that Kether is the Monad, the individual point of view, we can understand that the hawk is so attributed because it has the habit of remaining poised in mid-air, looking down from the blue aether to Earth and beholding all things with the eye of utter detachment.
On a certain level, the crucifixion was a great mystical and magical act — perhaps the greatest feat of divine magic ever performed. In submitting to the crucifixion, Lord Yeshua [Jesus] made his body a magical talisman of liberation. In effect, cosmic ignorance, the law, and karmic matrix were crucified (suspended), so that anyone who identifies with Lord Yeshua is "drawing near" and Yeshua made himself a vehicle through which others may draw near to supernal being.
If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on it, I would use the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I knew the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.
Everyone who works with love and with intelligence finds in the very sincerity of his love for nature and art a kind of armor against the opinions of other people.
… law, being a rule and measure, can be in a person in two ways: in one way, as in him that rules and measures; in another way, as in that which is ruled and measured, in so far as it partakes of the rule or measure …
Wherefore [the rational creature] has a share of the Eternal Reason, whereby it has a natural inclination to its proper act and end: and this participation of the eternal law in the rational creature is called the natural law.
In the information age it is obviously possible to decimate populations by the dissemination of information and gimmickry. There is no question here of values. It is simple information technology being used by one community to reshape another one. It is this type of aggression that we exert on our own youngsters in what we call "education." We simply impose upon them the patterns that we find convenient to ourselves and consistent with the available technologies.
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
We have a fear of facing ourselves. That is the obstacle. Experiencing the innermost core of our existence is very embarrassing to a lot of people. A lot of people turn to something that they hope will liberate them without their having to face themselves. That is impossible. We can't do that. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to see our gut, our excrement, our most undesirable parts. We have to see them. That is the foundation of warriorship, basically speaking. Whatever is there, we have to face it, we have to look at it, study it, work with it and practice meditation with it.
Anything considered spiritual, metaphysical or paranormal is generally just the physics we do not yet understand.
Be an artist of consciousness. Your picture of reality is your most important creation. Make it powerfully profoundly beautiful.
We must be in harmony with ourselves; we must come to accept ourselves. The best way to achieve this is to never compare ourselves with others, because the moment we do, we then judge ourselves inferior or esteem ourselves as superior, resulting in either an inferiority complex or an inflated ego. In both cases the result is a state of disharmony.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Nothing is more precious than knowledge; while kings rule over men, they are ruled by the learned.
The secret of the heart and the free act as such, the universe of moral laws, the right of conscience to hearken unto God, and to make its way to Him–all these things, in the natural as in the supernatural order, cannot be tampered with by the State nor fall into its clutches. Doubtless law binds in conscience, yet this is because it is law only if just and promulgated by legitimate authority, not because the majority or the State can be the standard of conscience. Doubtless, the State has a moral and not merely material function; the law has an educational function and tends to develop moral virtues; the State has the right to punish me if, my conscience being blind, I follow my conscience and commit an act in itself criminal or unlawful. But in like circumstances the State has not the authority to make me reform the judgement of my conscience, any more than it has the power of imposing upon intellects its own judgement of good and evil, or of legislating on divine matters, or of imposing any religious faith whatsoever. The State knows this well. And that is why, whenever it goes beyond its natural limits, in the name of some totalitarian pretension, and enters into the sanctuary of the conscience, it strives to violate this sanctuary by monstrous means of psychological poisoning, organized lies and terror.
The universe of truths–of science, of wisdom and of poetry–towards which the intelligence tends by itself, belongs, by nature, to a place higher than the political community. The power of the State and of social interests cannot impose itself upon this universe.
Love is the only cause of happiness.
It's nature is all-pervasive like space.
Love is the sunlight of the mind.
If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.
It is very difficult to learn to love. If an object of fascination or some kind of dream or promise is presented to you, you might fall in love. But it is very hard to love if it means purely giving love without expecting anything in return. We can only fall in love if we think our expectations will be fulfilled. In most of our love affairs, our love is conditional. It is more of a business deal than actual love.
The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man. You may raise money enough to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business. An efficient and valuable man does what he can, whether the community pay him for it or not. The inefficient offer their inefficiency to the highest bidder, and are forever expecting to be put into office. One would suppose that they were rarely disappointed.
I recognise a distinction between dream life and real life, between appearances and actualities. I confess an overwhelming desire to know whether I am asleep or awake – whether the environment and laws that affect me are external and permanent, or the products of my transitory brain.
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.
Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
To know oneself, at the deepest level, is simultaneously to know God: this is the secret of gnosis… self-knowledge is knowledge of God; the self and the divine are identical.
It is not possible to understand the magnetic effects of materials in any honest way from the point of view of classical physics.
Keep it [your soul] then in patience, in love, in gentleness, in kindness … For these are indeed the fruits of the spirit … And remember, a kindness sometimes consists in denying as well as granting those activities in associations with thy fellow man.
The science which explains, by the law of causation, the past condition and changes of the earth; the explanation of past events in terms of scientific causes, such as geological causes.
And while admiring the wisdom as seen and felt in all things around and above, the mind is impressed still more deeply, and with a clearer perception, with an attribute still more perfect, viz., that of GOODNESS! The incalculable number of worlds which the mind has previously contemplated, with their power of action and wise adjustment of motion, display goodness and design in all their various spheres and states of activity. Goodness is manifested in the fact that each law of a positive nature produces effects of a negative nature; and the equilibrium existing between all motions and forces, causes the principle of goodness to be displayed from the very centre to the circumference of their united actions. And also all the palaetiological sciences, when traced to the present time, or retraced to causes anterior, show the constant adaptation and succession of parts serving as agents and instruments to produce future effects, and which produce others still, until the whole, up to the formation of Man, presents a united chain of progression, — a system of concentric circles of development, — and the Whole displays beauty, purpose, and design. Each successive circle evinces an infinite amount of power, wisdom, and goodness, until all combined produce Man as an Ultimate — and that these all were essential principles and operations carried through Nature, for the very purpose of producing this sublime Result!
Recall in The Matrix, when Morpheus offers Neo the choice of a red pill or blue pill. The blue pill allows him to return to his ordinary conventional world, while the red pill offers him truth. If only it were so easy: one simple red pill and all is revealed. In reality, we must take red pills on a regular basis, since the illusions of our world are in many layers. We realize something new, something important, and that gives us clarity for a little while. Soon we notice other oddities and discrepancies, and we realize we need to go further. And so it goes.
Ufology offers a perfect example of such complexity. I started out years ago with one simple question. It was not are UFOs real? or are aliens real? I wanted to know something even more basic: were UFOs ever important to the U.S. national security community? One simple question with one simple answer (yes). However, that simple answer led to countless more questions. I still do not have all the answers I am looking for, and probably never will. But that is no reason for despair, for this is a subject in which it can truly be said that the journey is the reward.
If no outer adventure happens to you, then no inner adventure happens to you either. The part that you take over from the devil (joy, that is) leads you into adventure. In this way you will find your lower as well as your upper limits. It is necessary for you to know your limits. If you do not know them, you run into the artificial barriers of your imagination and the expectations of your fellow men… These barriers are not your real limits, but arbitrary limitations that do unnecessary violence to you. Therefore try to find your real limits. One never knows them in advance, but one sees and understands them only when one reaches them. And this happens to you only if you have balance. Without balance you transgress your limits without noticing what has happened to you. You achieve balance…only if you nurture your opposite.
Carl Jung, Liber Novus
(From, The Red Book (Liber Novus): A Reader's Edition, edited by Sonu Shamdasani)
The secret is synchronistically encrypted from those who would use it to cause trouble for themselves or others. Even misguided help can be a form of damage, thus in addition to purity, wisdom is needed. And if by chance someone did discover it and attempted to cause trouble, they would likely die suddenly, as already happens to people who try to bring antigravity and free energy technology into the world. The Philosopher's Stone is of that same vein. That's why no Alchemist has ever revealed the full picture. They not only realize the terrible implications of its misuse, but fear what harm might come to themselves if they facilitate that by giving knowledge without sufficient discretion.
Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth.
Hasty conclusions, easy generalizations, and slogans are the common techniques by which the dull and inert side of human nature continually tries to make the seeker abandon research into the domain of the new and the unknown… which requires, as we have said, conscious and creative effort.
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
Not human beings having a spiritual experience.
Not spiritual beings having a human experience.
We are human experiences being ourselves and having each other.
From the dystopian writings of Aldous Huxley and HG Wells to the sinister and apocalyptic vision of modern Hollywood blockbusters, the rise of the machines has long terrified mankind.
But it now seems that the brave new world of science-fiction could become all too real.
An Oxford academic is warning that humanity runs the risk of creating super intelligent computers that eventually destroy us all, even when specifically instructed not to harm people.
Dr Stuart Armstrong, of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, has predicted a future where machines run by artificial intelligence become so indispensable in human lives they eventually make us redundant and take over.
And he says his alarming vision could happen as soon as the next few decades.
Dr Armstrong said: "Humans steer the future not because we're the strongest or the fastest, but because we're the smartest.
"When machines become smarter than humans, we'll be handing them the steering wheel."
He spoke as films and TV dramas such as Channel 4's Humans and Ex-Machina, – which both explore the blurred lines between man and robot – have once again tapped into man's fear of creating a machine that will eventually come to dominate him.

Reality is bigger than this physical world.
Tom Campbell, Marla Frees, and Laurie Huston discuss interpreting and communicating in the Larger Consciousness System.
We are all a part of this system, and we are connected to it, hence the phrase "We are all one."
This idea is addressed from the science viewpoint of Tom's My Big TOE. (Big Theory of Everything)
Tom's MBT theory models reality as a virtual reality.
The concept of virtual reality is quickly gaining acceptance in the science community. Recently, one of John Wheeler's (physicist) suggested experiments was carried out by physicists at Australian National University.
The result of the experiment concluded that this reality we live in is a virtual reality.
Tom has proposed this concept in his MBT theory giving it the identity R=I. Reality = Information.
His books, a trilogy, were published in 2003.
Part of Tom's work as a physicist for NASA was risk analysis for Large Complex Systems. His work as a Consciousness explorer, which began at what is now The Monroe Institute, allowed him to experiment in the Larger Consciousness System. His unique abilities lead him to his My Big TOE theory.
Marla Frees and Laurie Huston work with the language of the LCS every day, and Tom's viewpoint of their gifts places their abilities in a scientific framework, which has been very helpful to both of them.

The American Meteor Society said on Monday that the Sunday night sky was brightened up across a dozen eastern states by a blazing meteor.
According to society spokesman Mike Hankey, the meteor made its way right through the earth's atmosphere over central Pennsylvania late Sunday and set up a brilliant show for sky gazers from Virginia to Massachusetts. More than 230 sighting reports were received by the American Meteor Society and majority of them came from the Washington region.
As predicted, a pair of CMEs hit Earth's magnetic field in quick succession on Sept. 11th and 12th. The result was a G3-class geomagnetic storm, the most intense of the year so far. At the peak of the storm on Sept 12-13, bright auroras ringed the Arctic Circle and spilled down over several northern-tier US states. The sky over Maine exploded in a rainbow of colors:
"I took the picture from Casco, Maine, facing north towards the Presidential Range in New Hampshire," says photographer John Stetson. "Red, purple, green, blue–all the colors were there!"

"The inclusion of a section on ocean acidification in this issue of WMO's Greenhouse Gas Bulletin is appropriate and needed. It is high time the ocean, as the primary driver of the planet's climate and attenuator of climate change, becomesa central part of climate change discussions," said Wendy Watson-Wright, Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
"If global warming is not a strong enough reason to cut CO2 emissions, ocean acidification should be, since its effects are already being felt and will increase for many decades to come. I echo WMO Secretary General Jarraud's concern – we ARE running out of time," she said.
A wire report from AFP says that an explosion heard in Managua last night, and a 40-foot crater evident today, are evidence that the city was the impact site for a small meteorite that struck Saturday night. The photos are not very exciting at a glance, which is a good thing, considering that a dirt crater and no injuries is probably the best outcome if a meteorite strikes the city where you live. From the article: The meteorite appeared to have hurtled into a wooded area near the airport around midnight Saturday, its thunderous impact felt across the capital. The hit was so large that it registered on the instruments Strauss' organization uses to size up earthquakes. "You can see two waves: first, a small seismic wave when the meteorite hit Earth, and then another stronger one, which is the impact of the sound," he said. Government officials and experts visited the impact site on Sunday. One of them, William Martínez, said it was not yet clear if the meteorite burned up completely or if it had been blasted into the soil. "You can see mirror-like spots on the sides of the crater from where the meteorite power-scraped the walls," Martínez said. (The same news, in slightly shorter form, from the AP.)

Thanks for the reminder from Guenon, nice article.
Our sole refuge is a higher consciousness and to individually reconnect with the God essence that dwells within All. Nothing ever dies and as the Bhagavad Gita tells us, 'The Wise do not grieve.' Rene Guenon would not have been surprised to witness our current predicament. Guenon offers us one last profound comfort in the final sentence of his brilliant 'The Reign of Quantity': "…it can be said in all truth that the 'end of a world' never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion."

WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co is behind the series of humble buildings, which each cost less than $5,000 each.

Some projects slow down, and others come to a screeching halt as Mars begins to appear to move backwards on March 1, initiating an 80-day process of review and reinforcement, developing and reworking ideas. […]
Career planet Saturn also begins moving backward on March 2. Saturn governs business, work, and responsibilities, both public and private. Our ideas are put to the test. The energy plays out on a more internal and emotional level when a planet is retrograde, and Saturn is retrograde in Scorpio, a deeply emotional sign associated with matters of life and death, with karma. Scorpio deals with our evolution, and Saturn is about cause and effect. We have the choice to untie those karmic knots or pull them tighter.
Day by Day
A new Lunar cycle begins on March 1 with a New Moon in psychic, sensitive, spacey, and spiritual Pisces. Luna connects with Jupiter, signaling a burst of inspiration, expansive thinking, visionary ideas, and good luck. Review the note on Lunar magic on page 6. To read more about taking advantage of the power of the New Moon, check out Jan Spiller's book New Moon Astrology.
A social/relationship cycle ends with some stress as Venus tangles with retrograde Mars on March 2. We find solutions and achieve closure as the Sun touches Chiron and Pluto on March 3. Friendly new energy re-energizes the social scene as Venus enters Aquarius on March 5.
Astro-Nerd Note: Saturn's reach
Do you ever wonder what those numbers next to the planets in an astrological chart mean? Astrologers break up each sign into 30 degrees and number them 00 through 29. Saturn changes direction at 23 Scorpio. Saturn backs up into 22, 21, 20 and so on, until he reaches 16 in July and changes direction again.
If you have your birth chart (get it at www.astro.com), look for planets between 16 and 23 degrees of any fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). Saturn hits those in a stressful way. Expect challenge in the areas ruled by that planet. If you see planets between 16 and 23 of Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn, Virgo, the retrograde opens doors and allows for ease and faster progress in your work.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds will remain free and unpunished while he appeals his conviction for giving misleading testimony before a grand jury.
A federal judge handed Bonds a sentence of 30 days of house arrest, two years of probation and 250 hours of community service on Friday -- then delayed the sentence pending an appeal likely to take a year or more.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston also fined Bonds $4,000 for his obstruction of justice conviction arising from his grand jury appearance eight years ago.
Prosecutors wanted the home run king to spend 15 months in prison.

USC to appeal after NCAA hammer drops
LOS ANGELES – After being hit with some of the harshest sanctions the NCAA ever has imposed on one of its football programs, USC plans to fight back.
The university announced Thursday that it will appeal some of the penalties it received in a 67-page NCAA infractions report that was four-plus years in the making.
The school would not specify which penalties it is fighting, but it's a pretty safe bet USC will seek reductions to the severest among them – namely, a two-year bowl ban and a reduction of 30 scholarships over three years starting in 2011-12.
"We acknowledge that violations occurred, and we take full responsibility for them. However, we sharply disagree with many of the findings in the NCAA Committee on Infractions report," Todd Dickey, USC's senior vice president for administration, said in a statement. "Further, we feel the penalties imposed are too severe for the violations identified."
USC is the first school to receive a postseason ban of two or more years since Alabama in 2002. Paul Dee, chair of the Committee on Infractions, said that decision was based on the number of bowl games Reggie Bush – the central figure in the case against the football program – participated in while ineligible.
The NCAA determined Bush was ineligible from December 2004 through the end of the 2005 season because the partners in a start-up sports agency gave Bush and his family impermissible benefits, including several thousand dollars, an automobile, housing, a washer and dryer, air travel, hotel lodging and transportation.
USC's penalties also include vacating every victory during that span – 14 in all, including the January 2005 BCS title triumph over Oklahoma. Although the victory is vacated according to the NCAA, it remains to be seen whether the BCS will follow suit. Spokesman Bill Hancock said the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee would meet to discuss the situation and that no action would go into effect until USC's appeal has run its course.
USC coach Lane Kiffin said an appeal could take 9-10 months. Whatever penalties USC is fighting would not take effect until the appeal process is over. So the Trojans could play in a bowl game this season – but then have to sit out the next two if the appeal is denied.
The USC men's basketball team did not participate in the postseason in 2009-10 after the university sanctioned itself for violations related to former star player O.J. Mayo. The NCAA was "impressed" by the school's actions and penalties, Dee said, and did not punish the basketball team any further.
The infractions committee did not view the football program the same way. It singled out (although not by name) running backs coach Todd McNair, who testified before the committee when it met to assess the USC case in February. The NCAA ruled that McNair was aware of Bush's situation, failed to alert the compliance staff and later provided "false and misleading" information to the enforcement staff.
McNair, one of two position coaches Kiffin retained from Pete Carroll's staff, received a "show-cause" penalty, which prohibits him from engaging in any recruiting activities for one year. Kiffin declined to clarify McNair's status on the staff, referring all questions to McNair and his attorney.
Also unclear is the future of USC athletic director Mike Garrett, who declined to speak with reporters Thursday.
The infractions occurred under the watch of Garrett and Carroll, whose legacy takes a major hit. Carroll fostered a celebrity culture while coaching the football team to unprecedented heights from 2001-09, but the NCAA criticized "the general campus environment surrounding the violations." The penalties prohibit non-university personnel from attending football and men's basketball practices and having access to sidelines and locker rooms.
Carroll, now coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, said in a video statement that the NCAA's findings left him "absolutely shocked and disappointed."
"The agenda of the NCAA infractions committee took them beyond the facts," Carroll said, "and the facts don't match the sanctions."
Kiffin is left to pick up the pieces. He maintained an optimistic outlook despite the specter of lost scholarships and the possibility that veteran players will transfer and incoming freshmen will back out of their letters of intent.
"I told the team, and I made sure they understood, that this is something that's happening to them that's adversity," Kiffin said. "Just like life, it's how you deal with adversity."
Said quarterback Matt Barkley: "It does stink to not, possibly, play in a bowl game. But at the same time, I came here to get a degree from one of the best universities in the country and to win football games. If we play 13 instead of 14, then we're going to try to win all 13 of those. So no matter what happens with this, we're going to stay positive."

Ralph Rio from ARC Advisory Group Talks "Intelligence"
Mary Gorczynski 1100006B54 firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  apm software facilities-management ibmontwitter maximo eam arc service-management ibmeam lease asset-management assetmgmt sarbanes-oxley tivoli ibmsoftware ibmpulse ralph-rio

In this year's interview with Ralph Rio, from ARC Advisory Group, at Pulse, we focused on facilities management.
Ralph started with an overview of current economic conditions and the impact on facility managers. Facilities, leases and operation costs can be more than 30% of annual corporate spending and with the accounting changes coming from FASB as well as Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, the focus is growing. The acquisition of TRIRIGA enables IBM to expand traditional areas of asset management for a more comprehensive solution and addresses the new lease regulations.
Next Ralph discussed the emerging concept of Asset Performance Management (APM), which leverages both operations and maintenance applications to improve asset availability and utilization. The integration of applications typically used by maintenance (EAM, condition monitoring and reliability) with applications typically used by production (CPM, ERP and control systems) provides data for business process automation and improved decision support.
Next we got into the meat of the interview -- Ralph took on "intelligence" and "smarter". Simply put, Ralph defined "intelligence" as improved decision support and business process automation using sensor data. The great thing about intelligence is that it provides maintenance managers with visibility into key metrics to enable improved equipment uptime, reliability, asset longevity, cost control and safety. Something that we heard a lot about at Pulse this year, across all industries.
With regards to technology trends that affect Enterprise Asset Management, Ralph focused on 2 areas:
We've seen all week the predictions on the growth of mobility (Danny Sabbah stated that nearly half of devices accessing business data applications will be mobile) so it will become increasingly important for expansion in this area for Maximo.

Some colourful abstract paintings by Belgium-based painter, Philippe Lequeux.
I am pleased to announce the launch of our fifth project, Free Encouragement. Erin (Design For Mankind) and I have joined forces, and we are really excited about this one!
So here's the deal: There is just so much negativity all around us these days, have you noticed? It's infesting the internet, it's taking over the big screen, it's cutting you off, it's showing up on your bank statement, it's staining your new shirt, it's breathing down your neck, it's not giving you a vacation, it's talking behind your back, it's stuffing you in a locker, it's cheating on you, it's charging you more, it's giving you less, and it's making you miserable!
I finally setup a Twitterfeed so now you can get notified of any Booooooom updates via Twitter! This is the internet equivalent of us becoming best friends! If you want to Tweet about Booooooom that would be awesome!
A couple packages showed up at my door step the other day and I was delighted to see that they were both from Ophelia Chong. I was pretty excited! I tore open carefully unsealed the envelope, and inside was this little box with a familiar shape on it.
In an effort to feature more painters on the site here's some paintings by Californian, Michelle Blade. I am definitely more familiar with the work of her sister, Sonya… ok bad joke. I'm digging these – the last one reminds me of that Spanish horror film The Orphanage.
The fabulously surreal photography of Andrea Galvani. There are so many awesome ideas packed in here, I mean wow. My eyes popped out and my head fell off. I want more.
An amazing paper heart by Haruki Nakamura. Load it up and jump to the 49-second mark to see what's so great about it. Krissy, you should stick this on Paper Schmaper!

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
