Keeping calm, carrying on
Posted on 22. Feb, 2012 by Erika Pedroza
An emergency plane landing at Bridgeport Municipal Airport is one of the top stories in this week's edition of the Messenger.
Randy Martin of Conroe was forced to land his Piper Navajo aircraft after noticing a gear shift light that wasn't turned on.
He avoided tragedy by smoothly grounding the plane, waiting for it to roll to a stop after all electrical connections were shut off.
Within minutes of his seamless land, Martin calmly spoke with Messenger photographer Joe Duty, video Andrew May and I, hardly shaken.
The pilot of 40 years explained his smooth descent, even adding good-natured ribbing.
"Every time you take off, you think about what could go wrong," he said. "But one way or another, you're going to land.
"When something goes bad, you can't get too excited. Otherwise emergency personnel would be cutting me out of the plane instead of going to lunch right now."
Without a doubt it was Martin's calm demeanor and and experience that allowed the troopers, police officers and firefighters to head to Pronto's and Yesterday's less than an hour after being dispatched.
To read more on the incident and watch a video interview of Martin and Bridgeport Police Chief Randy Singleton, visit www.wcmess.com/plane

You need the UnPlug add-on. If you were to get the music legally (and all of
it) it's the theme tune from the 1960s "Miss Marple" films, composed by Ron
Goodwin. I guess MGM would hold the rights so the BBC couldn't help you


text: I decided to retire my older 'Work in Progress' thread and start a new one. That was started in November 2011 about six months before I became a vendor. It's kind of funny, back when I started that project, I had no idea I'd become an official 'vendor' here at BCUSA. Even though it's only just however many hundreds of days later, maybe six hundred something?... You can really look thru that thread and see rapid progression. There is a reason as soon as I'm finished with a carving project I put it away and grab about log without looking back. I've realized that everytime I start a new project I have more knowledge and skills gained and I'm excited to start the new piece, and try out the new cuts and theories I've learned from the last one. For now instead of making a carving thread, seperate tools thread, etc.. I will compile it all into one here. So this will be where I catalogue my projects up to date. Not all of them, but the majority of it all. As some of you may know I've been planning some big things the past couple of months. I'm designing and hand forging my own line of carving tools with Matt of MP KNIVES. (A vendor collaboration.. what is the world coming to?!?!?!? We haven't announced anything officially, or when things will be up for sale... but we have started our 'Research and Development' stage in the process. He's been teaching me to hammer the anvil on my own, and we've both come up with some exciting new knives. I present the ________ Large Hook/Spoon Knife: I keep getting a lot of questions about where, when, how....We're not making these with stock removal methods. Were making these the old fashioned way... with a flame, hammer, and anvil. No cutting out cookie cutter sheets of metal, and sharpening a drawn on bevel.. we're going to get cut, get burned..and it's all a part of the process. and I really do mean what I say.. I must test these thoroughly. Being able to slice a piece of paper, or making a feather stick is not a 'real test' in my book. I will actually be carving kuksas, spoons, and other things with these before advancing to the next design. There's a lot more to a knife than just the very sharp edge.. especially with a carving tool.. that is bent. We've already made about 3-4 different 'Large Hook Spoon Knives' and they're all great, but I'm looking for something I haven't been able to find with the other great smiths who make similar knives. (Del Stubbs, Svente, Karlsson, Orford, Budd) So I'm posting a photograph of the first model that we've both decided should be the official first model. Something I'm still deciding is how I'm going to handle these. Most of the other makers of spoon knives put generic/quickie handles on their knives. This is a way to keep costs down. Well I've broken off most of my handles on my Karlsson knives and he charges $60-80 per knife. So I'm pretty set on the idea that I will be sourcing the handles myself and carving them to shape. This means, harvesting the materials locally, burning the hole for the tang to be inserted (which gives a perfect custom fit) , and shaping it all with a knife. Materials will change of course and I'm not sure if I'll offer options of wood. Everything is still up in the air still. Lately I've been making handles out of Yew, which is as tough as nails unstabilized. It also cuts with a glass finish. Some people don't like the tooled surface of handles, but I assure you there is a method to my madness. Sure I could waste time and money sanding for hours to make factory looking handles, but the tooled texture is KEY. It's all about grip, and actually being able to feel the tool. These are sharper than any spoon knives I've used and it's just another level of safety having a better grip. It's a really easy knife to get cut with since 99% of all cuts are towards your chest, and or thumb. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to offer something that isn't really available. Fine tuned carving tools. Most are made for the carver to personalize, and there is nothing wrong with that approach. That's a very old school tool mentality.. hence why most vintage axes have huge cheeks.. they're made to modify specifically for the tool's purpose. I will be honing these ready for carving. I'd like to also state that I'm not saying these are better than other similar knives around the world. I've used a good majority of them and always found them missing something. Each one had it's positives and negatives. After modifying some, having numerous blades custom made, talked to other very influential carvers.. I realized I should try this myself. Which only made sense financially, and as a carver. I really believe that understanding the tool itself and it's relationship with wood is one of the key factors of mastering a tool or technique. I'm far from mastering anything, but learning why these cut where the cut, the sweet spots, and all of the cons will help me improve many of my skills. Every tool made will be something I would personally use and love. I'm not making knives, slapping some glue and a handle and throwing it in a box. I have to spend a lot of time sharpening, honing, and testing.. if I won't use it, I won't sell it. Anyways enough rambling.. I present to you the ______ Large Hook/Spoon Knife. [No name yet] This is a left handed spoon knife. Large hook is great for general purposes... digging the bowl, and also cleaning cuts. The handle material is locally harvested yew. Very ancient wood, with a peculiar colored grain. This knife was custom made for a fellow here on the forum. I will make a 'waiting list' thread or something similar once I get more details covered. Here is the right handled version in the same handle material. This has a more exagerated handle. Naturally crooked and has different 'flip grips' involved. I may also decide to make all handles bent. This really aids in torque, and also is easier on your bones in some cases. The handle was whittled to fit my hand, so in other words... this one is mine! I just got a 10,000 grit Waterstone from Cellis (Another great vendor here) You can go to his shop by clicking here. I am a huge fan of this sharpening method. It's messy, the stones are delicate, but there is nothing like the sound of a knife on a stone. It's like carvers meditation. I will probably be sharpening these tools with this method. (Which is expensive and takes time) The small knife in the photo is a 'Sloyd' Knife Matt and I came up with. It's our take on the swedish carving knives. This is about as long as my pinky finger, and comes to a very agressive point for detail carving. I can Carve a spoon or kuksa with just these three tools.

You can't win the Super Bowl and not have a very talented roster.
You also can't win the Super Bowl and hope to keep that roster intact.
Even though they lost five starters in free agency, the Ravens still have a lot of very talented players to choose from. In fact, many of the players who might have been back-ups may now start because of the players that signed with other teams.
Opportunity breeds competition. Young players whose ceiling might have been the practice squad now have a better chance to make the active roster.
Speaking of Baltimore's practice squad, seven of the eight players that were on it last year are still on the roster today. The one player no longer on the team is quarterback Dennis Dixon, who is now a Philadelphia Eagle.
Who will be there this year? The general trend is that players will spend, at most, three years on one practice squad. Then they will usually be picked up by another team, get cut or retire.
This is a list of five players who have the potential to make the active roster, but could likely land on the Ravens' practice squad if kept.

For the love of food.
Second only to Easter.
Easter is hands-down my favorite holiday but it's November, and talking about Easter when the leaves are falling and the air is crisp with the smell of Autum would be, well, ridiculous.
Actually, we're in Dallas so the weather now may or may not be the weather we'll be having come Spring, and, since there are still mosquitos trying to consume my children in small bites, it may not be such a stretch.
Anyway, we're talking about Thanksgiving - the greatest holiday ever because it revolves around food. Lots and lots of delightful food. Food and football.
Food + Football = Wonderment
There aren't presents to buy, one million parties to line babysitters up for, finals, fireworks, or the guilt trip associated with forgetting to buy your spouse a romantic pink and red card covered with hearts and stuff. I don't know that last part first-hand, I've just heard rumors. From my husband.
We're getting ready over here at the Hill house and are camping out inside for the day. I've got myself a lot of cooking to do since, over time, I have slowly been entrusted to some of the Hill family recipes. It's taken 15 years but I've finally been given something besides the pies.
Something VERY important.
This year, I'll be making the Sweet Potatoes (please don't let me ruin them, please don't let me ruin them).
The sweet potatoes are a VERY integral part of our Thanksgiving menu. Were we to rank them, they'd be almost as important as the broccoli rice, on par with the stuffing, and exponentially more important than the rolls which I'm also in charge of.
Oh, the pressure.
And so begin my annual jokes that I'm making the recipe with Splenda and it will be, for the first time, gluten-free.
Of course I kid because actually altering the recipe at all would easily cause an insurrection in the Hill house the likes of which hasn't been seen since the great 2006 Thanksgiving Day game upset of the #10 ranked University of Texas by the unranked Texas A&M.
I had to sleep outside that night.
Truth be told, the Hill family love of food is one of my favorite things about being part of this crew. I grew up with a dad who was constantly in the kitchen trying out recipes on us, making vats of Spaghetti sauce from scratch, and feeding us grilled chicken covered with crazy-spicy African peppers and loving food in general.
It doesn't get much better than sharing a wonderful meal with people you love and eating until you want to die.
Or vomit.
Darius just came in and said that's his goal for tomorrow. "MaMelissa, I'm gonna eat tomorrow until I want to throw up. Can I wear basketball shorts because, you know, they're stretchy."
Yes, Darius, you can.
Welcome to the family.
Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving from our table to yours.

LOVE this! How flattering that you've graduated from pies to sweet potatoes- I'm still on cheesecake and the relish dish (aka dill pickles on a plate). Happy Thanksgiving! And tell Darius that if it weren't going to be frigid here- I'd be right there with him on the basketball shorts!

I wish I was there to eat with you! Our Thanksgiving joke revolves around making fun of Adam because two years ago he ate so much that he threw up and then ate dessert.
Tell Darius he should wear some maternity pants like Joey on Friends :-)
and by the way, we went and saw Blind Side last night (LOVED IT!!) and I could have sworn she is just like you. Seriously, Adam and I kept saying "we love her" and "she's just like Melissa" :-)

Thank goodness for stretchy pants! I should probably wear my tightest jeans in order to insure some restraint but I'm sure I'll be in the yoga pants at some point.

Awesome sweet potatoes, girlfriend! And rolls, and pies, and broccoli rice. Just had me a bowl of make-ahead mashed potatoes and broccoli rice. May be the last leftovers I can do!

I HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF 4 ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE MONEY FROM MY CHECKING ACCOUNT, AT $30 EACH TIME. (That Company has done this to many others, see loansforu.)

Because I am low income, I do not have the money to open an account elsewhere. I'd have to wait for Social Security deposit, get a cashiers check from TriCity open an account elsewhere and hope the next check gets deposited. I picked TriCity because it is located in the grocery store where I shop; the next nearest bank is a distance away...This just plain stinks!!

The Outsider
Rodney Crowell takes aim at corrupt politicians, greedy corporations and empty-headed pop culture on The Outsider, the latest in a string of winning mid-career country-rock albums.
A sharp backing band meets the challenge of Rodney's outrage, lending hard-rock bite to "Don't Get Me Started" and a funky bohemian shuffle to the title track. But lyrically, Rodney's populism is often too vague to be effective. Even the poignant centerpiece, "Ignorance Is the Enemy," feels overwrought compared to a tender cover of Bob Dylan's "Shelter From the Storm." Rodney truly shines, as songwriter and singer, on a handful of low-key songs like "Glasgow Girl" and "We Can't Turn Back Now," both tinged with the romance of the British Isles. -Matthew Everett

Next-generation CMT processors
By sprack on Dec 06, 2005
Its amazing to see the pace at which Chip Multithreaded (CMT) processors are evolving. It hasn't been that long since we were all obsessed with high frequency, super-complex OOO processors. Diminishing returns on performance and outlandish power requirements soon put an end to a number of these chip projects and hastened the industry-wide move toward the CMT design-point.
In the last few years alone we have seen CMT processors evolve through 2 generations - starting with the practice of just putting two uniprocessors on the same die (nothing being shared between the two cores but the offchip resources), and more recently moving to a more integrated design point, where the cores share an onchip level-2 cache (a number of obvious reasons why this sharing could be beneficial).
With the release of the UltraSPARC T1 (code-named Niagara), the next-generation of CMT processors is starting to arrive. Rather than just reusing uniprocessor designs, we are seeing the design of the processors tailored to a CMT design point. In the case of the UltraSPARC T1, this design point is commercial server workloads, such as databases, web servers, and application servers.
Server workloads are broadly characterized by high levels of thread-level parallelism (TLP), low instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and large working sets. The potential for further improvements in overall single-thread CPI is limited, but significant performance gains can be observed by leveraging the available TLP -- providing support for many simultaneous hardware threads of execution via a combination of support for multiple cores (Chip Multiprocessors (CMP)) and Multi-Threading (MT).
Sun's UltraSPARC T1 processor provides support for 32 hardware threads using 8 4-way vertically threaded cores. In comparison to other sever processors, each of these hardware threads is fairly modest (lower frequency, smaller issue-width etc.). However, the aggregate performance of the 32 such hardware threads that comprise the UltraSPARC T1 is significant, often providing several fold the performance of existing dual-core designs. And, given the almost cubic dependence between core frequency and power consumption, it does so at a fraction of the power of other solutions!
In Sun's Advanced Processor Architecture group (APA), we have been focusing on next-generation CMT processors for some time and talk more about some of the opportunities and challenges associated with this design trend in a recent publication at the International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA'05), which can be found here along with the slide set for the presentation.
Another topic we have been investigating is how well the server CMT design point fits with other classes of application. The results have been encouraging, with CMT server processors delivering great performance at a fraction of the power associated with more traditional processors.
One interesting application space is that of Bioinformatics. In this space, significant effort is expended comparing DNA, RNA or protein queries against large (multi-GB) databases of sequences. A variety of different applications have been developed to identify similarities between the query and the sequences in the database. Probably the best known such application is BLAST.
These databases are composed of literally millions of different sequences, so there is an abundance of available parallelism. Most of these applications, including BLAST, have been coded as multithreaded applications and have been widely demonstrated to scale well.
We have been experimenting with T2000 systems running both multithreaded and single-threaded BLAST configurations and have found that performance scales almost perfectly with the number of cores utilized i.e. Performance observed with 8 cores (32-threads) is almost 8X the performance observed using 1-core (4-threads).
Looks like T2000 could be a nice fit in the Bioinformatics space. Stay tuned....

Links on Apple Site Point to New iTunes, iPods
By Don Clark and Ian Sherr
Links on Apple Inc.'s website indicate the company may do more than announce a new iPhone on Wednesday.
Searches on the site reveal links, not currently active, that seem to refer to a news release that states Apple Wednesday is introducing a new iPod Nano and a new iPod Touch. Another says "Apple Introduces New iTunes."
Still another link says "Apple Introduces iPhone 5," seeming to confirm the highly anticipated new device's name.
Apple representatives couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Join us on Digits starting at 12:45 p.m. ET with a live-blog of Apple's event, and see complete coverage and video reports here.

The outlook on the roles and needs of the centre players in the cycle of production and delivery of e-learning materials is investigated. The perspectives of e-lecturers, e-tutors and e-students on use and design of multimedia learning objects are presented in this paper. Their various cultures, skill levels and learning styles necessitate integration of flexibility into learning environment. Flexible use of multimedia learning objects and how the scalable design principles can be applied in practice are demonstrated. This adaptable framework relies on the learning style and background knowledge of the tutor in selecting, organizing, and presenting learning material produced by e-lecturers. It adopts a flexible approach to educational content organization and delivery based on multimedia components that can be integrated into a wide range of courses. The flexible framework leverages XML metadata for describing multimedia learning objects and XSL for their seamless integration into the existing e-learning systems.

Ganesh with two newbies in Thunta Thunti
Ishita Sharma has earlier appeared in print ads. The film Thunta Thunti will be her first ever on-screen appearance. The north Indian beauty was pursuing her masters in London and was never intended to become an actress. She was in the country to see her parents when she was offered this role. Now she is all excited to star in her debut movie. "I was all excited when Indrajit narrated my role to me," the Bangalore Times quotes Ishita as saying.
Actress Lekha Washington, who has already acted in Tamil and Telugu and is now busy shooting her debut Bollywood movie Peter Gaya Kaam Se, is another babe to star alongside Ganesh in the film Thunta Thunti. But the actress does not like to speak about the film. She says, "I"ll speak as and when I"m permitted to."
However, The movie Thunta Thunti is expected to start shooting in the last week of April. The details about other cast and crew are yet to be confirmed.

Lack of access to safe water and sanitation contributes to diarrhoea moribidity and mortality in developing countries. We evaluated the impact of household water treatment, latrines, shallow wells, and rainwater harvesting on diarrhoea incidence in rural Kenyan children. We compared diarrhoea rates in 960 children aged <5 years in 556 households in 12 randomly selected intervention villages and six randomly selected comparison villages during weekly home visits over an 8-week period. On multivariate analysis, chlorinating stored water [relative risk (RR) 0·44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0·28–0·69], latrine presence (RR 0·71, 95% CI 0·54–0·92), rainwater use (RR 0·70, 95% CI 0·52–0·95), and living in an intervention village (RR 0·31, 95% CI 0·23–0·41), were independently associated with lower diarrhoea risk. Diarrhoea risk was higher among shallow well users (RR 1·78, 95% CI 1·12–2·83). Chlorinating stored water, latrines, and rainwater use all decreased diarrhoea risk; combined interventions may have increased health impact.

Porsche 911 Evolution
Another incredible installation at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart (first i showed you the sliced up porsches)… I stood and watched this wall a few times over. Mesmerized. It's a wall with the outlines of 7 models of 911s overlayed. And that is QUITE the jumble, but then the projection fills in one outline at a time, and you can watch the evolution between the models overlaid. It's amazing… to see how things tweaked, expanded, shifted, and more over time… See the video as well as pics on the next page…
… as well as a peek at the spinning platforms of 911s and this absolutely stunning 356 on the next page!

If you're an endurance athlete, at some point I'm certain you'll have a need for duct tape. Not just any duct tape; but all-weather duct tape. Recently I've had a use for it in the pool, securing my sprained finger support stick. (More on that in a later blog.) The tape easily lasts through a 60- to 75-minute workout. I originally got this tape for use in snow to secure the top of dog boots and it works pretty well in cold wet conditions too.
A second tape you'll need is self-adhering tape. This tape is used by athletes for issues such as securing wound gauze and it can also be used as a compression tape – say, for compressing a sprained finger or two. Similar to the non-adhering ACE bandage, this tape is stretchy, but unlike ACE it needs no metal clips to keep it secure. If you buy the marketed-to-humans variety, you will often pay around $10 for five yards at a pharmacy.
The same tape is used for pets and five yards can be purchased for around $2 at a pet supply store. Know that there are different widths available too.
I'm pretty sure you'll have a need for both items at some point in the future - if you don't already have a need right now.

Business in brief
The 2012 Southern States Holiday Food Drive collected nearly 2.5 tons of canned, boxed and other stable food items for food banks and charitable organizations in 36 cities and towns in the company's south and mid-Atlantic regions. The drive, in its second year, was held Nov. 12 through Dec. 16. Southern States is a Richmond-based farm supply and service cooperative, founded in 1923 that now has more than 300,000 farmer-members.
Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., of Henrico, is one of four Central Virginia companies accepted recently into the Virginia Economic Development Partnership's two-year Virginia Leaders in Export Trade (VALET) program. Fifty companies currently participate in the VALET program, which provides participating companies assistance from the commonwealth and from a team of experienced international service providers to help meet their international goals. To participate, each eligible business must meet several quantitative criteria and complete an application process. Participating firms are chosen based on their dedication to growth through export. More than 188 Virginia companies have been accepted to participate in the VALET program.
Bremo Pharmacy, a locally owned and operated pharmacy in Richmond for over 30 years, and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy have joined forces to improve medication management and outcomes for seniors in Central Virginia. Seniors are at increased risk of medication adverse events, side effects, interactions, overlap in therapy and poor outcomes. Many of the symptoms that are considered a normal part of aging, such as confusion, falls, depression and incontinence, can be common side effects of the medications that seniors take. In order to reduce these risks and allow seniors to live more independently, the School of Pharmacy and Bremo will offer a variety of services, including medication checkups, special packaging, home delivery, automated refilling, reconciliation of hospital discharges and personal medication profiles for patients to keep with them at all times. For details, visit http://www.bremorx.com .

You're looking at July 27, 2009. Olives, obviously. I kind of remember this. I think that I had just read of an idea to store your olives in a jar of olive oil. It kept the olives fresh, and when you were all done with the olives, your olive oil was much more "olivey" – the only problem was that the olive oil solidified in the fridge. So, you had to dig your olives out. Which wasn't totally bad, and then at the end, I did use the olive oil like butter, just spread it on bread before toasting for bruschetta and crostini.

Re: Ki is Kindness.
George S. Ledyard
Just as an aside...
No, I do not think that all opinions do deserve respect. The people who hold the opinions deserve respect. When someone throws out an opinion, it's just like posting something on the internet... once it's out there it's "open season".
People have all sorts of "opinions" and they certainly aren't of equal value. Opinions, as one can clearly see on the forums, can be unfounded, poorly articulated, unsustainable rationally, etc. Those opinions are not worthy of respect no matter how well intentioned the person having those opinions might be.
Out of respect for that person, one might attempt to be polite about how one might disabuse said person of his delusional ideas. Peter G is an exemplar of this approach. He is never rude or disrespectful of the person even when he is totally destroying some idiotic opinion.
It's just like our discussions of Aikido on a technical level. Everyone wants to think his or her effort is enough, wishes to be validated for whatever level of effort they can put forth. Everyone wants to feel like his opinion is worth something. But it's really just like ones Aikido... if you want to be "validated" for your Aikido, make your Aikido better. If you want your opinions to be worthy of respect, they need to be well thought out, well articulated, at least semi-rational and sustainable.
Strength in numbers doesn't really help either. Whereas having a number of other folks agree with ones unfounded suppositions may give one a sense of community, it doesn't make the opinion expressed any better. The "fifty million Elvis fans can't be wrong" approach is off base. Sure they can be wrong, just look at how we Americans are putting the Right back in power after eight years of getting hosed by the same folks.
On the forums, I expect to see civilized discourse. I realize that our entire culture has gradually been conditioned to look at everything from the standpoint of conflict, everything must be sensationalized and preferably involve screaming at one another... but thankfully, Jun attempts to keep a lid on that.
Too often these discussions devolve quite quickly into personal diatribe. Rather like the old Saturday Night Live "Jane you ignorant slut!" and "Dan you Fascist Pig!". I think that is pretty much wrong headed and it doesn't evince any real understanding of Budo or Aikido on the part of the folks on either side.
Anyway, in terms of the original supposition that Ki has something to do with "kindness", well, just look at this thread. Everyone one here on the forum has "Ki". If they didn't they would be dead. Not everyone on the forum is "kind", therefore, ipso facto, there is no essential connection between "ki" and "kindness". So, an unsustainable opinion, not terribly worthy of respect, but delivered by quite respectable people, who have every right to be respected. I think that one can see the opportunity for the personal practice of "non-attachment" in the Buddhist sense.
Hi George,
May I offer a couple of examples here of answers I have given in this thread and apply them to what you have said here. Firstly on the point of going to the meanings of the japanese before it was translated, which assumes the translator may be wrong. ie: O'Sensei using the word love.
I put it to those debating the issue that the fault more often than not lies with their not understanding the english and has nothing to do with anything else. I've seen this phenomena so many times through helping people who need help with study and they go all complicated and complex and agitated and angry so I take them back to where they started having this 'effect' and invariably find ONE point they didn't understand but thought they did.
This brings me to your view on respect and reminds me of a principle given in shin-shin toitsu Aikido 'Respect your partners Ki'
Every aikidoka who has been aware of this principle and then told me they were respecting their partners Ki but he was resisting or whatever other excuse they used showed me only that they didn't understand either repect, partner or Ki. So I wonder what meaning you have for the word respect?
Here's an example: Respect, regard, two words of similar meaning.Both are to do with consideration for someone or something of recognized worth. So far so good.
Here's the difference:1) Regard implies recognition of worth, with the element of approval or disapproval.
2)Respect implies recognition and esteem of worth with or without liking.
So one could take anyones views or opinions and estimate, judge, consider, debate, qestion with respect. However, as soon as one shows dissapproval or approval for that matter this is no longer respect.
Therefore one can say I respect your opinion but I don't hold in in high regard or I don't regard it as pertinent etc. Thus all opinions deserve respect with or without liking, wether you like it , I like it, the whole world likes it or not. On the other hand it doesn't mean anyone has to agree or disagree with the opinion, it's to be evaluated, considered and then put into context at which point regard enters into it.
One follows the other and then there can posibly be harmony. One replacing the other and there can only be misunderstandings and argument.
These statements given by Aikido Masters in my opinion should be respected rather than disregarded and laughed at. Tohei also said as a principle of Aikido: Relax completely. How many people know what that means or rather THINK they know what that means? ( excuse my use of Tohei Sensei as an example but I use him as he said it in English without the need for a translator)
Thus I point out continuously to fully understand Aikido a person must learn all three aspects of it and I emphasize the spiritual for that's where it all starts making sense. Unfortunately many equate spiritual with mysterious or vague unreal. Many equate it with the mind, a big mistake.
If you try to relax your body physically you would have a hard time. You could use drugs, you could go to sleep, you could have a big meal and sit by a warm fire or you could get a massage. Now if you relaxed your body by using your mind or got taught how to use your mind to relax you may well have some success via hypnosis or various pschological methods but still it's very dependant on other things or other factors. Now if someone taught you to spiritually relax, wow! You would find that your mind and your body joins in and then all three are relaxed, In fact relaxed yet invigorated, bright, expansive. Food for thought?
Lastly, your point of we all have Ki but not all are being kind. O.K. What if Ki is kindness along with love and goodness and all other good energies, does that mean that when you see others not being kind or loving then they have no Ki? I don't see that at all. I say it's not a matter of if they have it, it is purely a matter of why they are not using it and showing it.?
Hope this has at least been interesting, Peace. G.

The hotel search site could be worth $5B, putting Expedia's holdings at more than $3B
Looking at options trading activity among components of the Russell 3000 index, there is noteworthy activity today in Tripadvisor Inc , where a total volume of 6,253 contracts has been traded thus far today, a contract volume which is representative of approximately 625,300 underlying shares (given that every 1 contract represents 100 underlying shares). That number works out to 44.9% of TRIP's average daily trading volume over the past month, of 1.4 million shares.
This beleaguered stock seems down and out, but TripAdvisor is actually a game-changer that is one of the most promising value plays available.
It's difficult to say what it is telling us about the next move for stocks.

2012 Triathlete Buyer's Guide: Pedals
- By Aaron Hersh

Time iClic 2 Carbon $250
The iClic 2 allows the rider to step straight onto the pedal without twisting the cleat. When dangling free, the pedal rests in a vertical position, also making engagement easier when rushing out of T1 if you aren't a fan of the flying mount. It lacks spring tension adjustment, but the cleat can be rotated or shifted to fine-tune the rider's position. Time-sport.com

I didn't write this, but it's one of my favorite Creepypastas, so here you go.
During my childhood my family was like a drop of water in a vast river, never remaining in one location for long. We settled in Rhode Island when I was eight, and there we remained until I went to college in Colorado Springs. Most of my memories are rooted in Rhode Island, but there are fragments in the attic of my brain which belong to the various homes we had lived in when I was much younger.
Most of these memories are unclear and pointless� chasing after another boy in the back yard of a house in North Carolina, trying to build a raft to float on the creek behind the apartment we rented in Pennsylvania, and so on. But there is one set of memories which remains as clear as glass, as though they were just made yesterday. I often wonder whether these memories are simply lucid dreams produced by the long sickness I experienced that Spring, but in my heart, I know they are real.
We were living in a house just outside the bustling metropolis of New Vineyard, Maine, population 643. It was a large structure, especially for a family of three. There were a number of rooms that I didn�t see in the five months we resided there. In some ways it was a waste of space, but it was the only house on the market at the time, at least within an hour�s commute to my father�s place of work.
The day after my fifth birthday (attended by my parents alone), I came down with a fever. The doctor said I had mononucleosis, which meant no rough play and more fever for at least another three weeks. It was horrible timing to be bed-ridden� we were in the process of packing our things to move to Pennsylvania, and most of my things were already packed away in boxes, leaving my room barren. My mother brought me ginger ale and books several times a day, and these served the function of being my primary form of entertainment for the next few weeks. Boredom always loomed just around the corner, waiting to rear its ugly head and compound my misery.
I don�t exactly recall how I met Mr. Widemouth. I think it was about a week after I was diagnosed with mono. My first memory of the small creature was asking him if he had a name. He told me to call him Mr. Widemouth, because his mouth was large. In fact, everything about him was large in comparison to his body� his head, his eyes, his crooked ears� but his mouth was by far the largest.
Creepy Furby by awright60.jpg

�You look kind of like a Furby,� I said as he flipped through one of my books.
Mr. Widemouth stopped and gave me a puzzled look. �Furby? What�s a Furby?� he asked.
I shrugged. �You know� the toy. The little robot with the big ears. You can pet and feed them, almost like a real pet.�
�Oh.� Mr. Widemouth resumed his activity. �You don�t need one of those. They aren�t the same as having a real friend.�
I remember Mr. Widemouth disappearing every time my mother stopped by to check in on me. �I lay under your bed,� he later explained. �I don�t want your parents to see me because I�m afraid they won�t let us play anymore.�
We didn�t do much during those first few days. Mr. Widemouth just looked at my books, fascinated by the stories and pictures they contained. The third or fourth morning after I met him, he greeted me with a large smile on his face. �I have a new game we can play,� he said. �We have to wait until after your mother comes to check on you, because she can�t see us play it. It�s a secret game.�
After my mother delivered more books and soda at the usual time, Mr. Widemouth slipped out from under the bed and tugged my hand. �We have to go the the room at the end of this hallway,� he said. I objected at first, as my parents had forbidden me to leave my bed without their permission, but Mr. Widemouth persisted until I gave in.
The room in question had no furniture or wallpaper. Its only distinguishing feature was a window opposite the doorway. Mr. Widemouth darted across the room and gave the window a firm push, flinging it open. He then beckoned me to look out at the ground below.
We were on the second story of the house, but it was on a hill, and from this angle the drop was farther than two stories due to the incline. �I like to play pretend up here,� Mr. Widemouth explained. �I pretend that there is a big, soft trampoline below this window, and I jump. If you pretend hard enough you bounce back up like a feather. I want you to try.�
I was a five-year-old with a fever, so only a hint of skepticism darted through my thoughts as I looked down and considered the possibility. �It�s a long drop,� I said.
�But that�s all a part of the fun. It wouldn�t be fun if it was only a short drop. If it were that way you may as well just bounce on a real trampoline.�
I toyed with the idea, picturing myself falling through thin air only to bounce back to the window on something unseen by human eyes. But the realist in me prevailed. �Maybe some other time,� I said. �I don�t know if I have enough imagination. I could get hurt.�
Mr. Widemouth�s face contorted into a snarl, but only for a moment. Anger gave way to disappointment. �If you say so,� he said. He spent the rest of the day under my bed, quiet as a mouse.
The following morning Mr. Widemouth arrived holding a small box. �I want to teach you how to juggle,� he said. �Here are some things you can use to practice, before I start giving you lessons.�
I looked in the box. It was full of knives. �My parents will kill me!� I shouted, horrified that Mr. Widemouth had brought knives into my room� objects that my parents would never allow me to touch. �I�ll be spanked and grounded for a year!�
Mr. Widemouth frowned. �It�s fun to juggle with these. I want you to try it.�
I pushed the box away. �I can�t. I�ll get in trouble. Knives aren�t safe to just throw in the air.�
Mr. Widemouth�s frown deepend into a scowl. He took the box of knives and slid under my bed, remaining there the rest of the day. I began to wonder how often he was under me.
I started having trouble sleeping after that. Mr. Widemouth often woke me up at night, saying he put a real trampoline under the window, a big one, one that I couldn�t see in the dark. I always declined and tried to go back to sleep, but Mr. Widemouth persisted. Sometimes he stayed by my side until early in the morning, encouraging me to jump.
He wasn�t so fun to play with anymore.
My mother came to me one morning and told me I had her permission to walk around outside. She thought the fresh air would be good for me, especially after being confined to my room for so long. Exstatic, I put on my sneakers and trotted out to the back porch, yearning for the feeling of sun on my face.
Mr. Widemouth was waiting for me. �I have something I want you to see,� he said. I must have given him a weird look, because he then said, �It�s safe, I promise.�
I followed him to the beginning of a deer trail which ran through the woods behind the house. �This is an important path,� he explained. �I�ve had a lot of friends about your age. When they were ready, I took them down this path, to a special place. You aren�t ready yet, but one day, I hope to take you there.�
I returned to the house, wondering what kind of place lay beyond that trail.
Two weeks after I met Mr. Widemouth, the last load of our things had been packed into a moving truck. I would be in the cab of that truck, sitting next to my father for the long drive to Pennsylvania. I considered telling Mr. Widemouth that I would be leaving, but even at five years old, I was beginning to suspect that perhaps the creature�s intentions were not to my benefit, despite what he said otherwise. For this reason, I decided to keep my departure a secret.
My father and I were in the truck at 4 a.m. He was hoping to make it to Pennyslvania by lunch time tomorrow with the help of an endless supply of coffee and a six-pack of energy drinks. He seemed more like a man who was about to run a marathon rather than one who was about to spend two days sitting still.
�Early enough for you?� he asked.
I nodded and placed my head against the window, hoping for some sleep before the sun came up. I felt my father�s hand on my shoulder. �This is the last move, son, I promise. I know it�s hard for you, as sick as you�ve been. Once daddy gets promoted we can settle down and you can make friends.�
I opened my eyes as we backed out of the driveway. I saw Mr. Widemouth�s silouhette in my bedroom window. He stood motionless until the truck was about to turn onto the main road. He gave a pitiful little wave good-bye, steak knife in hand. I didn�t wave back.
Years later, I returned to New Vineyard. The piece of land our house stood upon was empty except for the foundation, as the house burned down a few years after my family left. Out of curiosity, I followed the deer trail that Mr. Widemouth had shown me. Part of me expected him to jump out from behind a tree and scare the living bejeesus out of me, but I felt that Mr. Widemouth was gone, somehow tied to the house that no longer existed.
The trail ended at the New Vineyard Memorial Cemetery.
I noticed that many of the tombstones belonged to children.

I've always been incapable of picturing Mr. Widemouth as anything other than the Mohawk mogwai.
With a way bigger mouth, of course.

Definitely one of my all time favourites. If I remember rightly, there wasn't much of a positive response to this one when it was on the forums but it was classic 'monster' pasta.
Somehow it's really easy to imagine the setting and yet I'd presume that each individual would picture Widemouth and the surrounding forest in his own way!

Yeah, I remember reading the comments. (Reading the comments on Creepypasta is never a good idea.)

The site's still, up, you know that, right? I mean, the comments aren't working, and the forums are down, but Creepypasta is still there.

Berkshire-Owned Real Estate Brokerage Pays $500,000 Fine
An Alabama real-estate firm owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway agreed to pay a $500,000 fine to settle a U.S. regulator's allegations the company failed to fully inform home buyers they could shop around for a firm to handle their real estate closings.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Birmingham, Ala.-based RealtySouth did not adequately inform consumers of their ability to choose a so-called title firm to provide title insurance and run the closing process.
RealtySouth is owned by HomeServices of America Inc., the real-estate division of Berkshire Hathaway.
In an order made public Wednesday, the CFPB said the company "strongly encouraged its agents and in certain instances told them they were required to use, RealtySouth's family of services" – with the goal of benefiting an affiliated title company, TitleSouth LLC.
RealtySouth did not admit or deny the allegations. A company official did not immediately comment.
The settlement is one of several CFPB enforcement cases alleging real-estate kickbacks, highlighting the new regulator's stepped-up oversight of the mortgage industry. The Dodd-Frank financial law of 2010 gave the CFPB authority over the federal law that bars kickbacks to refer real-estate services and governs disclosures to consumers.
Real-estate firms are allowed to make referrals to affiliated companies under the federal law that governs real-estate closings. But they must provide consumers a disclosure form indicating their right to shop around for another provider.
However, RealtySouth's disclosure de-emphasized the consumer's ability to select an alternate provider, the CFPB alleged.
The regulator "will continue to take action against companies that attempt to modify disclosures and keep consumers in the dark," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a statement.
Title insurance is generally required for home purchases to determine if there's clear ownership of the property and offer protection if someone later claims an ownership interest in it. Title firms also often handle real estate closings.
Consumer advocates have long questioned whether home buyers are getting overcharged. In 2007, the U.S. Government Accountability Office, Congress's investigative arm, concluded that the title-insurance industry's reliance on agents who sell to real-estate and mortgage professionals and lawyers rather than to consumers, presents potential conflicts of interest.

We are flying into flagstaff and leaving from a Williams hotel on a train tour the next morning. How do I get from Airport to williams hotel? Public shuttle, hotel shuttle, car rental, etc????
I would say cancel the train tour, rent a car, and drive yourself to the Grand Canyon.
You do realize you do not see the Grand Canyon from the train, right?
thanks but I am told the train also has activities on the train along with a guide explaining what to look for and see... and if we upgrade we can get a glass dome enclosure where we can see all the way around for pictures. It also stops at the rims where I believe I would head for anyway. I'm assuming by your response there is no option but to rent a car from the airport.
Car rental is your best option from the airport. I'll agree with Mike. You are being subjected to aggressive and deceptive marketing by the GCRR. The views you'll have from the trail will be the same boring high desert views that you'll get from the car, except the trail will take 3 hours where as your car will only take an hour. That's time that you could better spend at the GCNP on the rim, exeriencing the canyon.
The train arrives on the back side of the hotel complex. You won't see the canyon until after you climb the steps through the hotels and walk out to the rim path with the crowd. I can't think of a worse way to get introduced to the Grand Canyon. Not to mention the expense.
Activities? If being a victim of a staged train robbery is your idea of activity, then you'll be thrilled. But you could be at the Grand Canyon by the time that happens if you choose to drive. No comparison, activity wise. Upgrade to the domed glass car? That way you'll be able to look down at the prairie grass instead of looking out at it.
better explanation ...thanks
How about a bus tour
Self tour the Grand Canyon NP. It's easy.
From your original question, there is a 3X day shuttle from Flagstaff to Williams. Some runs include the airport.
Otherwise, taxi.
Either the train tour or a bus tour gives you about 3 hours at the canyon. Combined with the train tour, you can make arrangements for overnight stay in the park which would give you more time to explore the canyon. The train does not stop at the "rims" in the sense that it allows you to see the canyon.
After traveling from Maryland, why would you want to limit yourself to a very short visit at GNP? It can't be seen in 3 hours. The best way to see it is to rent a car and do your own tour, and stay overnight if possible. Extending your current plans, second best would be to arrange overnight in the park as part of the train tour.
There are tours inside Grand Canyon NP. You can drive there so you can have the luxury of spending more time at the canyon and then take a bus tour. Also there are walking tours and ranger talks that might give you more in depth information.
Where are you flying to Flagstaff from ? You may wish to forgo the expense& transfer by driving from Las Vegas or Phoenix... carracar
Very bestest option by a coupla good ole country miles: drive yourself and really see the canyon at your own leisure - and listen to the rangers. Millions do it every year and are over-wowed. Dyed-in-the-wool railroad&train aficionados get a kick of riding the rails - otherwise it'sn not the waste of time and money. - not to mention the missed opportunities you'd have had doing this under your own steam - pardon the pun ... even thuogh the old steam locomotive only comes out of its mothballs on special occasions.
The stages train robbery is just symbolic of what they've already done to your wallet at the booking office.
You should really consider spending a night at the GC - preferably at a rim lodge. Those would need to be booked ASAP as vacancies at the rim lodges are at a premium for most of the year and get booked very well in advance especially for peak season – which is much of the year.
For the in-park hotels, visit www.grandcanyonlodges.com or call 888-297-2757.
Failing that you can get lodging right outside the south gate (main entrance to the park) in Tusayan, about ten minutes' drive from the rim.
When you enter the canyon (25$ per car, valid for a week) you'll be given the current park newspaper which will give you all the information to get the most out of your GC experience.
