When thus the truth is seen, desire to possess does not arise in the heart.Even as a woman who has a lover goes about doing her housework with her heart absorbed in contemplation of that lover, the enlightened sage functions in this world while his consciousness is firmly established in the truth. In both these ases it is impossible for anyone to prevent such behavior - i.e. make the woman forget her love for make the sage forget the truth.

Post subject: Hi everyone, I'm new to this site.
My husband and i have been trying to conceive for over a year now. I'm 31, he's 34. I've been off bc's for 5 years and my body has miraculously adjusted itself from PCOS over 2 years ago. I seen my OB in January and told me I should have no issue getting pregnant. My cycles have been appearing every month around the same time for years now. I was so excited.Until Now!!! I've been spotting brown since the 10th, with 1 occurence of red blood over the past couple days and now its back to brown?I didn't see any clots or toilet bowls full of blood as usual. My cycles start around the 20th every month, and is 4 days. I never spot before or after any of my cycles,I weigh 126 pds,no diabetes, no thyroid issues, my ultrasounds are perfect ( I had my whole mid-section probed,nvr can be too sure,lol), paps are normal(last one in Nov.),no stds.It just seems odd compared to all my other cycles. I never been pregnant before so I don't know whats normal, and whats not.Thanks for reading

Spotting can be an early pregnancy sign , but it can also just be a variation on a normal cycle and just happen out of the blue one month .
Sometimes the corpus luteum might just not be able to keep your hormones up as long as usual and that can cause spotting after ovulation.
If you are about due your period though its possible that a home test might work
If this has been happening for about 10 days and your period is due today then it would have started pretty early to be implantation bleeding but you never know . Good luck xx

There were outcries by many in the Springs community when more than 8,000 streetlights were turned off in early 2010 so that the City could save money. With an improved monetary situation for the city government, streetlights are being turned back on—to the chagrin of a surprising number of people who have determined they prefer their streetlights off.
Citizens who want to keep their area dark have until Friday to notify the City. Crews will begin turning residential streetlights back on beginning the first week of January.
For those who want their lights kept off, they can call 719-385-2852 or e-mail

We've all heard of psychological profiling courtesy of endless crime shows, but profiling your dog is a new one.
Signalling your dog's mood and temperament via a label on its collar won't solve the world's problems but, as an educational tool, it's eye-catching.
It sends the message that all dogs are different and it is wise to stand back, think and ask the owner before approaching.
That's a lesson all children should understand.
It politely sets boundaries and is a conversation starter, which can only add to understanding in our public places.
It is also a stop sign for naive owners who think their unrestrained dog is "friendly" and should be allowed to approach other dogs without permission, without realising it may be interpreted as aggression, especially if the other dog is feeling vulnerable on a leash.
However no collar is a substitute for an owner's unvarnished judgment or vigilance.
There may well be legal implications for labelling a dog "friendly" if it subsequently attacks a child or other dog.
Yet, sadly, the problems are unlikely to be caused by an owner responsible enough to label his or her dog with a red "caution" collar, but by dogs left unleashed by negligent owners to roam, pick fights and kill pets.
The Eurobodalla has seen too many of these cases this year alone.

Should the U.S. Export its Oil? One More CEO Says Yes
By Alison Sider
U.S. oil companies plan to lean hard on lawmakers to loosen restrictions on oil exports as crude production soars in North America, according to Scott Sheffield, chief executive of Pioneer Natural Resources.
"I think the industry will be making a push over the next five years to export," Mr. Sheffield said, speaking on the sidelines of Hart Energy's DUG Eagle Ford conference in San Antonio.
Congress banned most exports of crude from the U.S. in the 1970s to protect oil supplies after the Arab oil embargo, though the government does regularly grant permits to send some oil to Canadian refineries. Efforts to lift the ban are almost certain to run into stiff political resistance in Washington.
Pioneer, which has a stock market value of about $26 billion, pumps most of its oil from shale formations in Texas, in quantities that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. That oil is shipped to refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast, which could become overstocked with US crude.
As a result, Mr. Sheffield has joined a growing chorus of executives, including ConocoPhillips Chief Executive Ryan Lance, who have said the U.S. should look at lifting the ban.
Refiners can export products such as gasoline and diesel and have been doing so at record levels. The U.S. Department of Energy has approved four permits for facilities being set up to export liquefied natural gas, or LNG to countries with which the U.S. does not have a free trade agreement.
Mr. Sheffield said crude oil exports are the next step, and the industry push to change the law banning them is underway. Politicians want to know whether selling crude to other countries will lead to higher gasoline prices, but Mr. Sheffield said that won't happen.
"It's a world market," he said, adding that crude should be sold to America's allies.
"It's not fair to ask the Japanese to not take Iranian crude when we don't send them crude ourselves," he said.

The command you want is ``mkdev hd'' which will guide you through
the steps equivalent to fdisk on Linux systems. SCO's disk
structure is closer to FreeBSD than Linux in that it handles
partitions as FreeBSD does slices with sco using ``divvy'' to
break a slice into individual file systems.
I have never used IDE hard drives with any SCO system, always
using SCSI. With SCSI drives one has to run ``mkdev hd'' twice,
the first time to configure the kernel to see the SCSI-ID, the
second to handle partitioning and divvy.
Presumably the disk you want to mount is from another SCO system,
and will already have a partition sliced with divvy. In this
case one has te be very careful not to overwrite existing file
systems. The partitioning stage will require nothing but to quit
without changing anything. The divvy stage where one defines the
file system will require that you name the partition(s) you want
to mount. The naming process creates the appropriate devices
(e.g. if you name a partion ``home'' it creates ``/dev/home''.
The final step, if I remember correctly, is ``mkdev filesys''
which creates the entry in /etc/default/filesys, analagous to
/etc/fstab on Linux, with the mounting information. You can edit
this manually to create new file systems if you're careful.

Priore named one of five finalists for Rare Disease Champion Award
Jan. 6, 2014
Harrisburg, Pa. - Stony Brook head football coach Chuck Priore has been named one of five finalists for the 2014 Rare Disease Champion Award, Uplifting Athletes announced on Monday afternoon.
"On behalf of the Stony Brook football team, I'm humbled to be one of the five finalists for this award," Priore said. "But this is about Joey Feminella, and his effect on me and our football team. Joey truly is a special person. He's an integral part of this team and will continue to be."
Joey was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, an aggressive form of pediatric brain cancer, at the age of five. After surgery and three years of radiation, Joey, whose cancer is in remission, was adopted by the Stony Brook football team through the Friends of Jaclyn program, which aims to improve the life of children battling pediatric brain tumors.
Since joining the Seawolves in 2009, Joey, who is a co-captain, helped lead the team to four straight Big South Championships and two appearances in the FCS playoffs.
The award is presented annually to a leader in the world of college football who has realized his or her potential to make a positive and lasting impact on the rare disease community. Currently, more than 30 million Americans are affected by rare diseases.
Voting for the award, which starts today and goes through Friday, January 31, is being conducted online. To vote for Priore and Joey, CLICK HERE
The winner of the award will be announced at the Maxwell Club Awards Gala on March 14, 2014 at Revel Casino in Atlantic City.
Along with Priore, Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher, Texas quarterback Case McCoy, Utah linebacker Trevor Reilly and Nebraska fullback C.J. Zimmerer also are nominees.

AMD Sea Island "Tenerife GPU" Leaked – Features Enhanced GCN Architecture, Over 4.50 TFlops Raw Processing Power
AMD is gearing up to launch its final GCN based HD7800 GPU's this month and we have already got the first details on the Tenerife GPU which would be part of AMD's Sea Island based HD8000 Series GPU featuring the enhanced/refined version of the Graphics core next Architecture.
As you can see from the leaked slide, Tenerife would be an Enthusiast level product replacing the current flagship HD7970 GPU so we can assume that it would be called HD8970. It is said to feature 2304 Stream Processors, 128TMU's and 48 ROP's which would result in over 4.50 TFLOPS of processing power and over 20% better compute performance compared to HD7970. Display outputs include an HDMI and 2 x MiniDisplay ports, DVI is not listed however the card is suggested to support a maximum of 6 displays.
A 3GB 384-bit wide memory buffer would operate at 6Ghz with a total memory bandwidth of around 322GB/s. Core clock speeds are unknown since the product is still far away from launch. However a TDP of 250W and idle ZeroPower of 3W is expected. Expect the launch of the next flagship around Q1 2013 or early in Q4 2012.
In other news, OBR reports that the HD7000 series based Dual chip GPU could be postponed or entirely cancelled from launch schedule since AMD still can't manufacture a cooler for the card to keep it within thermal specs.

Makelangelo Polargraph Art Robot
|Sample output
All my projects & progress are available at marginallyclever.com.
This is my mural drawing art robot. The principle is simple: if you know the distance between the motors and the distance down to the pen you can find the string length with pythagorean theorem.
We can do that anywhere on the wall, which means we can find how much to change the strings to move from A to B. Once I had it moving in straight lines I added GCODE support. I didn't want to type 10,000 gcode commands so I wrote a Java GUI. I now sell this robot in two flavors: fully assembled (for people who just want to make art) and unassembled (for people who like to make stuff).
All the code is on Github. You can follow development on my blog.
I want to sell one of these robots to every school in north america, maybe even beyond.
Neat project
I have seen this type of "printer" before, but your's is incredibly smooth and precise. I like your robot building approach.

The need to decrease excess antibiotic use in ambulatory practice has been fueled by the epidemic increase in antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. The majority of antibiotics prescribed to adults in ambulatory practice in the United States are for acute sinusitis, acute pharyngitis, acute bronchitis, and nonspecific upper respiratory tract infections (including the common cold). For each of these conditions—especially colds, nonspecific upper respiratory tract infections, and acute bronchitis (for which routine antibiotic treatment is not recommended)—a large proportion of the antibiotics prescribed are unlikely to provide clinical benefit to patients. Because decreasing community use of antibiotics is an important strategy for combating the increase in community-acquired antibiotic-resistant infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention convened a panel of physicians representing the disciplines of internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine, and infectious diseases to develop a series of "Principles of Appropriate Antibiotic Use for Treatment of Acute Respiratory Tract Infections in Adults.†These principles provide evidence-based recommendations for evaluation and treatment of adults with acute respiratory illnesses.
This paper describes the background and specific aims of and methods used to develop these principles. The goal of the principles is to provide clinicians with practical strategies for limiting antibiotic use to the patients who are most likely to benefit from it. These principles should be used in conjunction with effective patient educational campaigns and enhancements to the health care delivery system that facilitate nonantibiotic treatment of the conditions in question.

Smoke and steam hangs over the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, Wednesday April 14, 2010, which has erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Volcanic ash drifting across the Atlantic forced the cancellation of flights in Britain and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, stranding thousands of passengers. Flights in and out of London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, were halted, and the shutdowns and cancellations spread to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland. The volcano's smoke and ash poses a threat to aircraft because it can affect visibility, and microscopic debris can get sucked into airplane engines and can cause them to shut down.(AP Photo/Jon Gustafsson) ** ICELAND OUT **
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) - Scientists say a volcanic ash cloud keeping most of Britain's air space closed is due to a change in the wind, not a new burst from Iceland's volcano.
Gudrun Nina Petersen of the Icelandic Meteorological Office says volcanic ash that was drifting over the North Sea is being pulled back over Britain by winds from both the northeast and northwest.
The volcano in southern Iceland is still spewing smoke and lava, but the ash plume is lower than it previously was, posing less threat to high-flying aircraft.
Airplanes across Europe are gradually taking to the skies after five days of being grounded by the drifting volcanic ash. But British officials say London airports are likely to remain closed for another day.

Style Spotlight: Revivall Clothing Garters
Any connoisseur of vintage fashion knows that socks aren't like they used to be – basically elastic was invented and at some point people started expecting that a sock would stay where you put it, and often this is true, especially with shorter styles. Unfortunately, this expectation can also be a little problematic, as gravity hasn't really gone anywhere and not all socks are going to stay put on all legs. That's okay though, because the original solution to the age-old gravity problem is still stylish — so stylish in fact that you might find yourself making use of it for purely decorative reasons. We're talking garters, here.
3/4″ Elastic Buckle Garters in classic black.
You may be familiar with the Sock Dreams line of garters, which we've carried and loved for years. With two styles of clips, as well as clipless styles in various colors, stripes and even a vegan option, we thought we had garters pretty well covered. You can imagine, then, that we were surprised, yet ever-so pleased to discover just how wrong we were!
We adore the fawn brown that the 3/4″ Buckle Garters come in!
When Laura Lee of Revivall Clothing approached us with her garters, we were really impressed with the photos, and even more so with the sample she sent us. There's a lot to love about these little guys – they're hand sewn in the USA, using upcycled leather, and in addition to three neutral colors of elastic, they come in some less traditional metallic elastics that we love! The real selling point is that adorable little functioning buckle, though. It adds an even greater degree of comfort and adjustability to the garter than the elastic slider of our house styles. They can also be adjusted down small enough to keep socks up on calves that are too small for our Sock Dreams clipped garter styles (the Simply Adjustables, on the other hand can get small enough to be worn as an arm band)!
There's just something really satisfying about grey leather on grey elastic.
This is Laura Lee's third consecutive year to be named Best Clothing Designer for Eugene, OR, and we can see why! Her styles have a rustic and rugged country aesthetic, paired with thoughtful design and polished execution. We think it's the perfect juxtaposition of contemporary craft with a pioneer spirit! Just last month on instagram we watched this entrepreneur build an upcycled vending booth from old pallets, and have grown ever more impressed with her ingenuity and style. She's going to be vending at San Fransisco Bazaar, Kate Wolf Music Festival, Oregon Country Fair, Pickathon, and North Country Fair in Arcata this year, so be sure to stop by her booth if you happen to find yourself at any of those events!
1″ Metallic Elastic Buckle Garters in red — adjustable enough to fit a great range of calves and thighs!
Impeccable quality and style aside, the fact that she chooses to use materials that would otherwise go to waste is very much in keeping with our own company's agenda of minimizing our ecological footprint. Laura Lee started using upcycled materials when she was working for a designer in New York City, "We had 2 production houses in our building and I would witness how much fabric was thrown away, so I started pilfering the dumpsters and making things from the scrap fabric," she explains. "Then, I went to New Orleans for 9 months after Katrina and helped organize a disaster relief kitchen and donation center. After a few months, I had to get creative again and started sewing in a blue tent with a pallet floor, using excess donated materials from the distribution center."
The Metallic Elastic Buckle Garters in silver have a shine like no other! A perfect pairing of retro design, with futuristic materials!
While the leather used for the Revivall Clothing garters that we carry is upcycled, the hardware and elastic are new, and sourced from US based manufacturers. You might have noticed that all of our house brand items (DreaM Stockings, Dreamer Socks and Sock Dreams) are also sourced in the USA, so it should come as no surprise that we're really into that part of Revivall's ideology, too!
We think that Revivall Clothing's garters perfectly encapsulate our love of combining the old with the new. After all, the challenges of gravity may be timeless, but luckily so are garters.

Whoopi's Socks!
If you watched The View Thursday morning (today!), than this is old news for you. But if you happened to miss it, we have some BIG news. Are you sitting down dreamers? Because it is finally time to unveil our latest sock venture. Sock Dreams proudly presents (drum roll, please) Whoopi's Socks! That's right; Sock Dreams has teamed up with none other than the fun and fabulous sock-lover extraordinaire, Whoopi Goldberg. Together, we bring you three gorgeous styles, all designed, made & printed in the USA.
Whoopi loves gnomes as much as (and maybe a little more than) any of us; she has gnomes of many varieties in her garden at home. Our artist worked hard to capture Whoopi's likeness as a nature-loving spirit, lounging among the foliage with her little foxy friends in the Whoopi Gnomes Midcalf.
The Boy Who Drew Cats is an old Japanese fairy tale that captured Whoopi's imagination. In the early stages of designing socks, she told us the tale over the phone and it resonated with everyone here. In the story, a young boy is sent from his family farm to study to become a priest but is sent away for drawing cats everywhere—on scrolls, on the walls, on every blank space he could find. He eventually ends up at an abandoned temple where he again covers every available surface with his feline friends, and then, tired from travelling and drawing, goes to sleep in a cupboard. In the night he is awoken to the sounds of fearsome battle, and the next morning emerges from his cupboard to find a great goblin rat has been defeated… by his cat drawings come to life! His talent for drawing, which seemed like an idle waste of time to those around him, saved both himself and the nearby town from the goblin rat's reign of terror. We think anyone who has been told their dream isn't worth pursuing can identify with this story.
Here There Be Monsters takes inspiration from Whoopi's love of old maps, specifically the Carta Marina by Olaus Magnus. Drawn in the early 16th century, it was the first more-or-less accurate map of the Nordic countries, and jump started a long history of Swedish cartography. Today it inspires young and old alike with its depictions of fearsome beasts and fanciful creatures. Because this map would have been purchased in black and white the map's owner was free to color it as they desired, so we are offering two beautiful color schemes to choose from.
Pretty cool, right? The socks are available exclusively through us and come with the minimal 100% recycled packaging you've come to expect from Sock Dreams products. We hope that you are as delighted by these new designs as we are!

Brand Spotlight: Zkano!
Zkano is the creation of second generation sock maker Gina Locklear. In 1991, Gina's parents opened up their sock knitting mill in Fort Payne, AL at a time when a huge percentage of the country's socks originated from there. These days, Emi-G Knitting (named after Gina and her sister) is one of only a few knitting mills left in the city.
When Gina grew up she merged her passion for environmentally sustainable living with the family trade to create socks that are beautiful and organic. Each aspect of sock creation is done on-site including design, knitting, seaming, and packaging. Zkano socks are "produced in small batches with certified organic cotton, low-impact dyes and minimal packaging to leave a light footprint while ensuring the highest quality fit and comfort," exactly to Gina's specifications. How Dreamy!
The Mara Over the Calf features fun stripes and color blocking, adding a unique look to any outfit!
Sunnie Slouch Stripe Midcalf has a comfy roll-top cuff that slides down the ankle for the perfect care-free scrunchy look!
For a more classic look, we also carry their Annabel Striped Knee High which have the perfect skinny stripes and wide cuff to make anyone's toes happy.
If you'd like to learn more about the Zkano story, and take a peek inside the family business, check out the video below!

Waves of Grain
Dreamers Dara and Kori fell deeply in love with Waves of Grain Bakery nearly a decade ago, back when it was tucked away in Cannon Beach, one of the best vacation spots here in scenic Oregon. So you can imagine how excited they were when they discovered that WOG (as it has come to be known by their loyal fans) was opening up a brand new bakery here in Portland! Not only were they bringing they're scrumptious cookies, biscuits and pastries to our home town, but they were finally offering a full brunch menu, all day, every day!
Once the small, family business finally opened their doors on East Burnside last Spring (just west of 28th Avenue's "Foodie Row"), we Dreamers were quickly converted into WOG fanatics ourselves, with the help of many special employee treats provided by our generous Officers. Their cookies, OMG, their cookies!!!
This week we decided to support our favorite bakery by holding one of our weekly PR meetings there, and since we happen to have a photographer on the team, we felt compelled to photograph some of the amazing treats they offer. As it turns out, socks and baked goods (and coffee, and brunch!) go together better than you might think!
And speaking of coffee, did we mention that Waves of Grain happens to make the best latte in town, in our humble opinions? Heck, some of our opinions aren't even all that humble — our biggest coffee snob travels out of her way every morning for that latte, brewed with Portland's own Coava Coffee.
Over the past year, our two businesses have become besties, so it was heartbreaking to hear that this rustic mom-and-pop shop was having a hard time breaking through in the heavily saturated Portland foodie scene. There is just no reason why this little gem isn't on the lips (and in the tummies) of every Portlander, their food is just so good!
Since May has been deemed Waves of Grain Bakery Awareness Month, we're doing what we can to save our favourite brunch spot, because we'd just die without them! So, if you're here in the Portland area, go to Waves of Grain Bakery this month for some uber tasty goodies and help spread the Wave! Let the counter service know that Sock Dreams sent you, and you'll even get an exclusive SD coupon that you can use at our Sellwood Shop to beef up your sock drawers!

Not All Socks Who Wander Are Lost
Maybe you've already read our latest Dreamer Dispatch, but in case you haven't signed up yet, we just received word that Lefty, a sock who went missing and was presumed taken by gremlins or else sucked into the sock vortex, has actually be gallivanting about the globe this entire time. Rather selfish of him to leave us in the lurch like that, don't you think? Ah well, we can't stay too angry at a sock for living his dreams…
Lefty didn't have to go too far to get to his first destination – the Anisazi dwellings are just over in Colorado – not far from his home here in Oregon!
We did, however, have a stern word with him about keeping in touch during his travels. There might have been a certain amount of accusatory finger waggling, and phrases such as, "Don't you ever do that to us again, we've been worried sick, do you have any idea what you've put poor Righty through?! " may or may not have been spoken. Lefty agrees that his behavior during this time has been deplorable, and so has made a concerted effort to keep us informed of his whereabouts. We know you were all worried too, so we wanted to share the postcards that have been arriving from attractions around the world!
Going south, Lefty found his way to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. He looks appropriately impressed.
In fact we liked some of Lefty's postcards so much that we decided to make them into printable PDFs for you, in case you want to get some vicarious kicks while keeping in touch with your own friends and family!
Oooh! Aaah! Lefty joins the crowds admiring the Taj Mahal in India.
Most importantly, though, we're having our longest Lost Sock Memorial Day Sale in Sock Dreams history! We're doing a whole weekend! From 12:01 AM (PST) on Friday the 8th until 11:59 PM on Sunday the 10th, everything will be 25% off, with no minimum order! Just use the code WheresLefty at check out (or mention it in our shop) to receive your discount!
One simply can't visit Australia without a Quokka selfie these days! We have to wonder how Lefty is holding the camera, though…

An accidental fire destroyed an Alley Lane home on Monday morning.
No people were injured, but a dog and cat died in the fire, Troy Fire Chief Larry Raymond said.
The fire at the single-story home was reported between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Three people lived in the home, two adult children who were taking care of their father, Raymond said.
A number of mutual aid departments assisted in the response to the fire. They relied on a small pond that was less than a half-mile away as a source of water, Raymond said.
The fire began in the center of the house and had reached the roof by the time it was reported. A specific cause will be determined later in the week, Raymond said.
The Red Cross is assisting the victims.

Like most Americans, you probably need more of this mineral. You can get it from milk, potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, and legumes.
It's good for your blood pressure. Your muscles and nerves need it, too.
You probably know spinach is good for you, but do you know why? It's a good source of magnesium, as are beans, peas, whole grains, and nuts (especially almonds). Put some or all of these foods on your plate, and you could do a lot for your health.
You're more likely to be short on this nutrient if you have stomach or intestinal problems, you drink alcohol, or you're an older adult.
Get this nutrient from orange and yellow plant foods, like sweet potatoes, carrots, and winter squash. It's also in spinach and broccoli. Vitamin A supports good vision, a healthy immune system, and tissue growth.
Your bones, muscles, and nerve fibers all need D. The vitamin also helps keep your immune system in its prime.
Your body can make vitamin D when you get enough sunshine. But too much sun is bad for you, so doctors say it's best to get it from supplements or foods such as salmon, mackerel, and mushrooms exposed to ultraviolet light. There are small amounts in liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Milk, some brands of orange juice, and many cereals are fortified with it, too.
There's more to this mineral than healthy teeth and bones. It's also key for your muscles, including your heart. It might even help you avoid getting high blood pressure. Dairy is an excellent source. Other foods that have it include canned salmon, kale, and broccoli. Remember, you need enough vitamin D for your body to absorb calcium.
Can vitamin C cure the common cold? Maybe not. But research suggests it may shorten how long your symptoms last and their severity. This vitamin, found in many fruits and vegetables, has other benefits, too. It boosts the growth of bone and tissue. As an antioxidant, it might also help protect your cells from damage.
You can get loads of benefits with fiber from whole grains, beans, and produce. A high fiber diet can help lower your cholesterol and keeps you regular.

For some time, the Army used the terms Unit of Employment (UEy or UEx), Unit of Action (UA), and Support Unit of Action (SUA) to describe constituent elements of its modular redesign. These terms were intended for conceptualization only, not long-term use. Once the new modular unit designs were substantially complete, it was time to replace these conceptual terms with names that Soldiers will use. Naming conventions should reinforce the Modular Initiative while preserving as many hallowed lineages as possible and minimizing turbulence.
The Army has decided how the units of the modular force will be designated, and how their lineages and honors will be perpetuated. A "Blue Ribbon Panel" composed of distinguished military leaders reviewed several courses of action for naming conventions and recommended one. This recommendation was adapted as follows:
The designation decisions reached in 2005 will be applied to units of the Army Modular Force as they are activated or converted in accordance with the modular force conversion schedule.
These headquarters and units are essential to the Army Modular Force Conversion because it allows the Army to operate with fewer levels of headquarters during deployments and still accomplish the mission. The unit naming conventions enable the Army to maintain its long standing heritage with virtually all of the current active regiments and divisions and pass the associated proud traditions along to today's Soldiers while transforming to the expeditionary Army of the future.

My second blog
I am a bit late with my second blog. I still felt a little bit jet-lagged last night and this morning I slept until 11:30…I feel much better now.
Like probably everyone else, the first place where I go after getting up is the bathroom. This is quite an experience here in Japan as they have the best toilets in the world. You could sit on the toilet for hours! The seat is warm, there is a water spray…Toto, the makers of this special toilet seat, are geniuses. The toilet in my bathroom is like a space shuttle, there are so many buttons that I am always afraid to press the wrong one. I definitely want to buy one for my apartment!
Last night for dinner I had sushi in Ginza, one of the nicest neighbourhood in Tokyo. My favourite sushi is tuna but I cannot eat squid. They served me squid last night and that made me feel like wanting to become a vegetarian again! People maybe don't know but I wasn't eating either meat or fish until 10 years ago but now I eat everything. Mirka did not come to dinner last night so I brought her back some take away sushi. She was afraid to eat it as she thought 'Captain Wasabi' would hit again but I never play the same joke twice. And she hasn't had her revenge yet, so I need to watch out…
Before dinner I had a reception in town as I was presented with the Baccarat Athlete of the Year award for 2006. The other two winners were Annabelle Bond, mountain climber, and the Japanese sports heroine Shizuka Arakawa who won a gold medal in figure skating at the Turin Winter Olympics this year. Annabelle climbed seven peaks including Mount Everest last year. Shizuka accomplished something that I have not done YET, an Olympic gold medal. That is my goal for Beijing 2008 …or London 2012!
I did quite a few interviews at the Baccarat event. What strikes me here is that the Japanese media are always so well prepared for the interviews. They must have read everything about me and they ask interesting and funny questions. I also did a photo shoot for the cover of the AERA magazine, which is like the Time or Newsweek in Japan. I like doing photo shoots, sometimes they are long, but I love interacting with the photo artists and see their preparation work.
I also went to a mall yesterday and stopped by one of the largest gaming rooms, they have thousands here in Tokyo and it was funny to see my Sega tennis game there. I was thinking of playing against the volley master (a.k.a. Tim Henman) for a second but then I had to go to the hotel for a work out session.
My driver here in Tokyo, Mr Iwaono, always wears a Swiss Tennis pin and I thought he did it for me but he actually was the driver of the Swiss Fed Cup team that played against Japan here at the Ariake Colosseum in April. He's a very nice man who speaks fluent English. He has been the source of the best information on Tokyo.
Today I practiced from five to six before the Official Welcome Party of the AIG Japan Open. They put me to practice on court five away from the crowd but since there were so many fans there I moved to court seven so that they could be closer to me. At the end of the practice I invited one of the young kids in the crowd to join me on court for a short hit. The kid is only seven and turned out to be very talented. We played a few points from the baseline and then on the last point he hit a winning drop volley! His name is Kaito and maybe my agent Tony already has a contract ready for him to sign. You know what these agents from IMG are like...
I'm off to dinner with Tim Henman and Stefan Koubek at the teppanyaki. Tim is paying tonight so I will make a double order of Kobe beef!!!
It is back to business for me tomorrow. I am playing the fourth match at the Ariake Colosseum. I will blog again after that.
thanks for the stories.. nice! My boss was telling me about the toilets, wasn't a fan of them as you are though...
i would give you a million reasons why you should go back to being vegetarian, but maybe not here, maybe one day i will get to
Good work & even good luck in all your upcoming tennis matches. This is your raison d'etre for now. I hope your fans will understand when you take time for yourself (it seems Mirka is the ideal partner for you). Rather amazing that y
I also follow
What a nice surprise to see your blog, specially during a tournament...
The way you combine your great skills, good work ethics, intelligence, and still manage to have an amazing personality is pretty unbel
Can't wait to read yr 3rd blog.
All the best in the matches !!
Blessings !
I liked your blog. Japan sounds sounds awesome and I hope you have a good tournament. Thanks for being a great role model.
you've been so nice with your fans, really!!they were so excited to see you so close, i can imagine!
the description of the toil
You know, sometimes we get caught up in ourselves and we hurt the people that love us the most. And men can be men, playing tricks and teasing alot.
I have noticed all along, for years, even before you played Sampras, your tennis pla

About | Introduction | Excerpt 2 | Excerpt 3
Standing in a garden on a lovely summer's day, shafts of sunlight stream through the trees, creating dancing patterns on the ground. A soft breeze caresses my cheek
while the beautiful notes of a harp fill my soul with peace. Suddenly something catches my eye; it's two women in the distance. In long
flowing gowns they glide towards me on feet that never touch the ground. As they draw closer, I see how lovely they are, and how their long red hair shines like copper in the
sun. The tinkling sound of their laughter is like wind chimes stirred by a gentle summer breeze.
Reaching me, they separate to stand on either side. Then, twining their arms through mine, we take a step forward; a gentle tug and my spirit
steps out a few feet ahead of me. Awareness of being in both places at once feels completely normal. We all hesitate for a moment while I
take in what has happened and then the women start walking away arm-in-arm with my spirit.
In my spirit form, I look down and notice that, just like the women, I am gliding, but my feet don't touch the ground. Consequently, I'm unaware
of where we are going as we cross the expanse of lawn banked by tree height hedges on my right. As we glide, I suddenly know where we are
going because I know there is a large rectangular reflecting pool just and ahead and to the right. To reach it we must walk or rather glide to
the arched ivy-covered entryway and descend the short flight of steps that lead to it. In the split second that it took me to see the pool in my
mind, we are there. Silently we turn and begin descending the stone steps. The last thought I recall is how the cool the stones feel beneath my bare feet.
My attention returns to my body. Watching my spirit turn and descend the steps, I sense that she is fine and that there's no cause for concern
. Once she is out of sight, I turn my head and notice that there is a man standing in front of me. I am surprised to see him there as he was
not there a few moments ago. I notice how handsome he is with his dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. And though he is only about
5'8"tall, he has a very commanding presence. Quietly he waits for me to acknowledge him. Our eyes lock and then he speaks. "We have
work to do together—a contract, and it's time to begin." Though I hear his words, there are no sounds. Everything is being said telepathically.
Without waiting for my response, he moves around behind me. I'm taken by surprise when, without warning, he steps into my body.
There's pressure in my head as his head enters mine. Slowly and gently, he presses his face inwards. Once in, he pauses as if to give me time
to adjust. Then again there is pressure; this time it's on my tongue. He is pushing it aside to make room for his own. For a moment I panic,
frightened by the total loss of control, but then the panic subsides. "I will speak through you," the man's voice says as its deep, melodic tone
vibrates through every cell of my body. Another moment passes. "How is it that my tongue formed the words instead of his?" I ask myself.
More words are spoken, but I am not aware of them because I have fallen unconscious as if in a trance. Suddenly, I have no idea how long
after, I regain consciousness, being jolted back by another sensation; he is extracting himself. With a tugging, almost sucking sensation, he
pulls free. Walking back around to face me, his eyes search mine for signs of distress. "Are you all right?" he asks, concerned. Frightened
and a little irritated by what has just happened, I decide to ignore his question and instead ask, "What is your name?" "Devin," he calmly
replies as he fades away.
I awoke with a start a few seconds later. Frozen by fear, I lay there
not breathing; my heart was pounding. "What the hell was that?" I asked myself as I struggled to orient myself in the dark. "Have I been
possessed?" I wondered, remembering the pressure on my tongue as the man pushed it aside. But as soon as I thought those words, I knew
that was not true; it was just my old religious programming kicking in. "Besides", I thought to myself, "I wasn't scared in the dream, just a bit
irritated that he did so without asking first. It all felt rather natural in a strange sort of way." Having gotten through my initial terror, I relaxed
and inhaled to satisfy my screaming lungs. Moving my now unfrozen limbs, I sat up in bed. "I have no idea what that was about," I thought
to myself as I reached over to grab the glass of water from my nightstand, "but it was something. I just don't know what. I'll think
about it tomorrow. I've got to get some sleep." I lay back down, adjusted my pillows and fell immediately into a dreamless sleep.

European companies believe that government cost containment measures have damaged the region's competitiveness, and point to R&D investment figures as evidence. In 1990, pharmaceutical R&D investment in the US was less than in Europe; however, R&D investment in Europe now is only approximately 70% of the US figure.1 Between 1990 and 2008, R&D investment in the US grew by 5.6 times compared with 3.5 times in Europe.1 To compound the situation, Europe also faces competition from further afield because of the rapid growth in the research environment in emerging economies, such as China and India. The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industry Associations (EFPIA) has expressed its concern that this trend has led to the closure of European R&D sites.
Government policies alone, however, cannot be blamed for the difficult R&D conditions. Because of the inherent risks of drug development, many companies have adopted a conservative attitude to using new technologies that may add extra risk to the process, but the steady decline in new drug output suggests that this cautious approach is undermining innovation. However, although there is recognition that bottlenecks exist in the current R&D process, few solutions have been found to ease them.EFPIA's analysis of the period 2004 to 2008 shows that, while European companies have experienced a decline in new drug output, their US counterparts have become the world leading inventors of new molecules.1 This trend is worrying — particularly as the US pharma industry has expressed frustration at its own low level of innovation!2,3 Similarly, the emerging markets of China and India are also considered to be far from optimal environments for R&D.4,5
The Innovative Medicines Initiative
Many in the industry believe that there is no reason why Europe should not be able to keep pace with the US, given the existence of highquality research resources. Many also believe that the way to reinvigorate Europe's R&D lies in a collaborative approach, featuring both public and private parties. This thinking has led to the development of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), a public–private partnership designed by the European Commission (EC) and EFPIA, to find clear, practical paths to accelerating drug development and stimulate regional R&D.6 The initiative's Strategic Research Agenda will centre on addressing the problems identified with regional R&D by fostering collaboration across the region. This cooperative approach should reduce the risks for all those involved — particularly small companies.
The IMI's governing body is composed of ten board members — five from EFPIA and five from the EC, representing the European community. Although the IMI does not have a specific membership structure, it has a pan-European focus, with stakeholders across the region being eligible to participate in research. Once a year, the IMI also holds a stakeholder forum to disseminate information on activities and give participants the opportunity to provide input on the future direction of the organisation. In addition, the IMI holds consultative workshops with work through associations that represent participants concerned; for example, to better serve small companies, the IMI has said it will work with the European Biopharmaceutical Enterprises and EuropaBio.
The operation of the IMI is similar to that of a nonprofit organisation, with research grants being awarded to European public–private collaborations. While public money will be used to fund academic and patient participation and support SMEs, large biopharmaceutical companies will fund their own contributions.
The IMI has already identified the R&D bottlenecks as predicting safety, predicting efficacy, bridging gaps in knowledge management, and bridging gaps in education and training. From data collected, it was found that the likelihood of a drug candidate reaching the market was <6%.6 The most common factors for failure were lack of efficacy (25%), clinical safety concerns (12%) and toxicological findings in preclinical evaluation (20%).6 The best way to avoid these problems is to predict failure at the earliest stage possible in the R&D process, which necessitates placing greater importance on predictability and not becoming too dependent on promising preclinical data.
Between 1990 and 2001, predictability in the R&D process was enhanced through the development of drug metabolism studies. With time, invitro absorption and metabolism screens were validated by correlation with clinical data. The IMI aims to achieve similar clinical correlations for the factors that have been identified as the major causes of attrition. To do this, it is supporting panEuropean public and private sector collaborations so the research is not focused on products themselves, but generates tools, information and data that can be used by all companies. In this way, it is hoped that companies will be not be averse to their competitors having equal access to the results, as they stand to benefit from the outputs and sensitive product data are not being shared.

406 Tasting Notes
This is the 2012 Spring Harvest.
Tiny, gently curled dark green leaves. The first steep smells lightly green, and sweet. Sugar snap peas is not a bad way of describing it – it's a fresh garden green, but not the rich heaviness you get in summer. I'm not getting creaminess or milk, exactly, but it does seem to fill my mouth in the rich way of fresh milk. The second steep has a richer flavor and color, and makes my mouth water.
Finishing the first two steeps while eating some leftover homemade pasta alfredo seems almost blasphemous… but they go really well together :D The heavy cream sauce is making all of the light green tea flavors more distinct in comparison.
2.5g leaf (about 1 heaping tsp) in my 3.5oz glass teapot, gongfu style
This lasted well through six infusions, adding a couple seconds for each, and started getting weak around the seventh. I think I'll steep one more time – longer, a minute or two – then see if the leaves are indeed a tasty snack!
ETA: the last steep was still quite mild, but the leaves were tender and sweet, not the least bit bitter (as I expected). I'm not normally a leaf chewer, but if you are I'd expect these to be a tasty treat!
I have been so excited about my first Verdant order – it arrived Tuesday but I've been entertaining company all week and didn't have the time to give any of my new teas the attention they deserve. But today, I finally got to pull out the Laoshan Black, and decided to brew it gongfu-ish style this first time in my 3.5oz glass teapot.
I… I don't have much to add to the descriptions above. I'm on the first 3 steeps and this is delicious, light, creamy, chocolatey (the dry leaf smells intensely of chocolate) – very smooth. I'm curious to see how it will change with further steeping!
It's a bit on the light/weak side, but I might not have used enough leaf – I used the 1g to 1oz rule for 3.5oz, whereas the instructions recommend 5oz… It's not bad! But I like my tea a bit stronger :) Fortunately there's plenty in the sample pack to try it differently next time, and I've yet to see how it does with longer steeps.
ETA: I steeped this at least a dozen times. It was getting a bit weak by the end (though still tasty!) so I left the last steep for a few minutes, and that ended up being one of my favorites! It was sweet like fresh grain – I was thinking barley, but apparently semolina is more common – a fittingly bright amber color, and very smooth.
Has it really been two years since I logged this? That's ridiculous, because I drink it nearly every day. My last order from Rishi included a full pound of China Breakfast. I drink it strong (heaping teaspoon to 8oz water) with milk and no sugar.
It's malty and smoky and chocolatey and rich, and has been my standard morning tea over the last few months. I'm almost through that pound, and tempted to order another, but I'm going to try branching out again for awhile instead. Samples from TeaVivre arriving soon!
I was tempted by Harney's most recent promotion to pick up one of their new "Ambessa" teas, along with a couple others that had been on my shopping list for awhile.I'm not assigning a numerical rating yet because I've been away from Steepster for quite awhile and will have ot remind myself how Queen C compares to everything else I've tried :)
Steeped at work, with a rounded teaspoon in a ~8oz mug, I think I got lucky right off the bat – from others' descriptions this might be easy to oversteep, but I'm finding it quite drinkable plain (yay!).
Very smooth, I'm not getting a lot of smoke though there is a dryness that reminds me of smoke; the taste is sweet, but the flavor reminds me of more savory things in general – buttered popcorn? Salted caramel? Clearly, more experimentation is required!
Om nom nom
I usually go for hearty blacks with milk in the morning, but just didn't want the milk today. So, what will give me the same heft and sweetness, without any additives? A coconut oolong, obviously! Fortunately I've been keeping Rishi's in the drawer at work. I'm just waiting for one of my coworkers to ask to try it, because the coconut smell is wafting all over the office now.
Since I haven't mentioned lately, I don't usually like coconut. I don't like it in cakes, or cookies, or the flavoring in candy. But this coconut flavor is fresh and sweet, and lets the tea shine through as well for this rich, smooth, floral experience
I eyed these when they first came out, but resisted because my tea cupboard was overflowing. Now it's not, and the Mermaid and her Captain were on sale! I've really come to enjoy plain Assams over the last few months, and had been wanting a new one. This is a great example of the type, too. Malty and rich, easy to oversteep, some sweet honey flavors if you get it just right. I like the first steep with milk, to give it some more body, and spread out the flavor a little. A second steep, plain, is mellow with lots of honey notes.
I wish I could get my water hotter, but I'm making this at my desk and don't have a sink handy for rinsing with hot water :( Oh well, still has plenty of flavor even with sub-boiling water.
Remember how I didn't want to mess with this one? I changed my mind :P I had a cup of it straight this morning, then decided to add some of Rishi's Pe-erh Vanilla Mint; it's usually too minty for my taste, so the extra vanilla and black tea flavor worked very well! I'll be making this blend again, for sure.
With the pu-erh in there, it's been re-steeping well all day, especially with the occasional extra 1/4 tsp of leaves.
So, I was in Cardullo's last night, buying another Kusmi sampler (for a friend!), and thinking of maybe getting a little tin of Paris for myself, when I saw that they had a sale shelf. With Golden Moon on it O_O. With, specifically, several of my favorite GM teas at ~40% off.
I ended up getting this one, White Persion Melon, and Coconut Pouchong. I made myself a batch of the Melon to drink iced today…. then left it in the fridge this morning :( But, at least remembered to bring this tin in.
I like this as a vanilla tea – it's not a big, strong vanilla flavor, but it's not weak either. Just light, and smooth, and fruity – best drunk plain, I think, or maybe with a dot of honey. I'll try it with some milk later to be sure, but it's so smooth and sweet on its own, I don't think it would hold up well. There's just this lovely sweet, aromatic aftertaste that I don't want to mess with!

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Madame Rosmerta
Character Analysis
Madame Rosmerta is the crush-a-licious proprietor of the Three Broomsticks inn and pub who helpfully asks all the questions we want answered during the epic data-dump conversation about Sirius Black and James Potter. It's interesting that she hadn't questioned the Sirius thing before the conversation that Harry and his friends conveniently overheard. Rosmerta says that she recalled Black and James as kids. It does make us wonder: just how may wizards turned to the dark side during the war with Voldemort?
