Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'm here, sitting alone in my room, and I start crying. That's right, I start crying. Because another human being, a species that I happen to belong to, could kick a ball, and lift himself, and the rest of us sad-assed human beings, up to a better place to be, if only for a minute... let me tell ya, kid - it was pretty goddamned glorious.

Mike Nichols (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Art Garfunkel (actor) | Maybe it's not meant to be enjoyable with women you love | Carnal Knowledge movie | 1971 | Susan and I do all the right things. We undress in front of each other, we spend 15 minutes on foreplay, we experiment and do it in different rooms (it's a 7-room house). We don't believe in making a ritual out of it; we do it when we feel like it. We don't feel we have to be passionate all the time. Some times it's even more fun necking. We're considerate of each other's feelings. I had a tendency, men, I guess, to be selfish. But I stopped, I don't do that. We try to be patient, and we are patient, gentle with each other. Maybe it's just not meant to be enjoyable with women you love. | 39:27 |

You don't know? Well, let me give you hint, OK? I found my James Brown record filed under the J's instead of the B's. I don't know who taught you to alphabetize. But to top it off, he's in the rock and roll section. | 40:35 |
Alan Arkin (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Donald Sutherland (actor) | Wedding speech | Litlte Murders movie | 1971 | ...But in as much as this ceremony connotes an abandonment of ritual in the search for truth, I agreed to perform it...Of the 200 marriages that I have performed, all but 7 have failed, so the odds are not good.

David Byrne (director, writer, actor), Beth Henley, Stephen Tobolowsky (writers), Cara Cardona, Andrew Barach, Greygory Gunter (actors) | The Mall Monologue | True Stories movie | 1986 | Since this mall opened...have all pulled out of downtown... Shoppers here will go wherever the bargains are, wherever it's convenient to shop. They don't care if they shop in a funky, old building downtown, or in a clean modern place, like this... The shopping mall has replaced the town square as the center of many American cities. Shopping itself has become the activity that brings people together. In here, the music's always playing.

Alan Watts | Swallowing | ...I'm reduced to silence. I haven't anything to tell you. I don't teach anything, I have no doctrine. The other illusion that a Western is liable to have is that it's determined that the sense of what is happening now follows necessary from what happened in the past. Cause and effect? Why, obviously not. Because, if you're really naive, you see that the past is the result of what's happening now. | 43:28 | ||

Actors: Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper; writers: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper | Scene: It's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace | Easy Rider movie | 1969 | You know, this used to be a hell of a good country. Can't understand what's goin' on with it. Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Oh, they're not scared of you, they're scared of what you represent to them. What you represent to them is freedom. What the hell is wrong with freedom, that's what it's all about! Oh yeah, that's right, that's what it's all about, all right. But talking about it and being it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they gonna get real busy killing and maiming to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they gonna talk to you and talk to you and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. It makes 'em dangerous. | 44:17 |
Sidney Lumet (director), Paddy Chayefsky (writer), Peter Finch (actor) | Death of the individual | Network movie | 1976 | The people spoke!...because the communists are deader than we are. Dedicated to the free... It's every single one of you out there that's finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. It's a nation of some 200-odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter than white steel-belted bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings, and as replaceable as piston rods. Well, the time has come to say, is dehumanization such a bad word? Good or bad, that's what is so. The whole world is becoming humanoid: Creates that look human, but aren't. | 44:59 |

Fontana (writer), Skip Homeier, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner (actors) | Shields of artificial atmosphere layered on every planet/This world is poison to me | Star Trek show. Episode: The Way to Eden | 1969 | This stuff you breathe, this stuff you live in. Shields of artificial atmosphere that we have layered upon every planet. The programs in those computers that run your ship and your lives for you, they bred what my body carries. That's what your science has done to me. You've infected me! | 46:31 |
Douglas Trumbull (director), Deric Washburn, Mike Cimino, Steve Bocho (writers), Bruce Dern, Cliff Potts, Rob Rifkin, Jesse Vint (actors) | Scene: Real food | Silent Running movie | 1972 | Everything is the same. All the people are exactly the same. That's what the difference is, that I picked it, and I fixed it, and it has a taste, and it has some color, and it has a smell. And that it calls back a time when there were flowers all over the earth, and there were valleys, and there were plains of tall, green grass that you could lie down in, that you could go to sleep in. And there were blue skies, and there was fresh air, and there were things growing all over the place, not just in some domed enclosures blasted some millions of miles out into space. Look at that stuff. How can you guys sit there and really say anything to me about this. Look at this crap. Look at that! Dried, synthetic crap. And you've become so dependent on it that I'll bet you can't even live without it. | 47:07 |
Alexander Payne (director, writer), Tom Perrotta (novel writer), Jim Taylor (writer), Matthew Broderick (actor) | Democracy (apples & oranges) | Election movie | 1999 | Let's say, all you ever knew were apples. Apples, apples and more apples. You might think apples were pretty good, even if you got a rotten one once in a while. Then, one day, there's an orange. Now you can make a decision. Do you want an apple, or do you want an orange? That's democracy. | 49:34 |
Father Fitzpatrick | Catholic Homlies for Today: 6/2/07 (Who gave him authority?) | Catholic Homlies (Canadian daily mass) | 2007 | Sometimes we forget that Jesus was a layman. He was never ordained a priest. So maybe it's no surprise that the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in the temple in Jerusalem, want to know, who gave him, a layman, authority? | 49:55 |
Alan Arkin (director), Jules Feiffer (writer), Donald Sutherland (actor) | Wedding speech | Litlte Murders movie | 1971 | How long will it last? We all think that, don't we? We don't like to bring it out in the open, but we all think that. Well, I say, why not bring it out in the open? Why does one decide to marry? Social pressure? Boredom? Loneliness? Sexual appeasement? Love? I won't put any of these reasons down. Each, in its own way is adequate, each is all right. Last year, I married a musician, who wanted to get married in order to stop masturbating. Please, don't be startled: I'm not putting him down. That marriage did not work. | 50:43 |

Boating on the Tennessee River in Alabama
The Tennessee River Authority (TVA) created a navigable Tennessee River in Alabama by building dams and creating lakes. Work on the project began in 1933, and by 1945 the job was complete. River locks make it possible for pleasure boaters and commercial barges to negotiate the entire length of the river.
Where It Is
The Tennessee River flows into northern Alabama, near its eastern border with Georgia and Tennessee and then flows westward, forming a short section of the border between Alabama and Mississippi, before flowing northward back to Tennessee. Approximately 150 miles of the river are located in Alabama. The largest cities on its route through the state are Decatur and Florence, and the largest lakes it traverses are Guntersville, Wheeler, Wilson and Pickwick.
Alabama Boater's License
Sailboats, rowboats and canoes are exempt from Alabama's boater safety education course requirements. All other boaters must get certification. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to operate motorized craft, and children between 12 and 13 must be supervised. Ages 14 and up are allowed to operate a boat once they've received certification. These requirements differ slightly for out-of-state boaters, who need certification from their home state. Life jackets are required for each passenger and the pilot.
Rentals and Supplies
A number of companies around Lake Gunterville rent pontoon boats, fishing boats, canoes and kayaks. Weekend rates are higher at most of them. Houseboats are available for rent on Pickwick Lake and in Decatur. Joe Wheeler State Park, west of Decatur, rents pontoons, fishing boats and paddleboats. The marina in Florence rents pontoons boat by the full or half day and has a WiFi hotspot for boaters who need to get online. Marinas are fairly evenly spaced along the river, offering boat repair, fuel and supplies.
The Alabama portion of the Tennessee River supports some fish species that aren't commonly found in other parts of the state like smallmouth bass and sauger. The four impounded lakes on the river provide slower waters for fishing, and locks at each lake's dam makes it possible for boaters to travel from river into lake. Alabama state record crappie, yellow bass and buffalo were caught in Guntersville Lake. The Paint Rock River tributary of Wheeler Lake provides habitat for 98 species of fish. Wheeler Lake dam's tailwater provides good smallmouth bass fishing. Parts of Pickwick Lake are in Mississippi and Tennessee, and those states honor Alabama fishing licenses.
Getting There
Interstate 65 crosses the Tennessee River on its north – south route from Mobile to Tennessee. Route 2 travels east – west through northern Alabama, and then skirts Gunterville Lake before ending at the Tennessee border. Huntsville International Airport is served by major American airlines and regional airports with landing strips for small planes dot the area. The nearest Amtrak service is Birmingham, about 80 miles south.

Hi all, i got some problem with the plugin woocommerce (for wordpress). I'm trying to make a full translation of the plugin, until now it's ok with the translations files, but I was unable to translate the error messages of the login form! Like:

anyone with my same problem? thanks!
Hi sb0k, the error messages are not from the WooCommerce plugin. They are inherent WordPress messages. So to translate them, you must go to WordPress language files and change them there.

Jennifer Lopez is an American actress, businesswoman, dancer and recording artist. She started her career as a Fly Girl on the television program In Living Color and as a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson. Lopez gained recognition in the action-thriller Money Train. Lopez ventured into music in 1999 with the release of her debut album On the 6. Her second album J.Lo (2001) reached number one on the Billboard 200 the same week her film The Wedding Planner led the box office, becoming the first person to achieve a number one film and album in the same week. Lopez also has two children with former husband Marc Anthony, twins Max and Emme.
She's been quite the busy lady with career duties as of late, and Jennifer Lopez was spotted arriving at the "Today" show studios in New York City earlier today (May 2).
The "Love Don't Cost a Thing" songstress, who was accompanied by husband Marc Anthony, looked gorgeous as she made her way inside for her morning TV appearance.
Making for a memorable entrance, Jennifer Lopez rode into The Grove in Los Angeles on a double-decker bus for the "Extra" launch of her "Love?" album release yesterday (April 29).
The 41-year-old superstar was the picture of celebrity glitz and glamor as she sported a strapless gold sequined jumpsuit and black peep toe pumps while joining "Extra" host Mario Lopez.
She just keeps the hits coming, and Jennifer Lopez's new video for "I'm Into You" looks to be nothing short of sexy and fun.
The "On The Floor" songstress is shown frolicking around the beach with William Levy in the short teaser clip that was just released.
Heading out after catching a midday meal, Jennifer Lopez was spotted leaving The Commons at Calabasas yesterday (April 22).
The 41-year-old superstar donned her casual Friday apparel, sporting a big sunglasses, a black turtleneck, and pink "U of P" sweatpants.
Joining forces with "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller, Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are reportedly shopping around a music-based reality competition.
The series, which is in the developmental stage and tentatively titled "Que Viva," would feature the musical couple depicted while on a search for undiscovered talent in Latin America.
You never know what to expect from "American Idol," and last night (April 20) Jennifer Lopez was in for a sweet surprise.
The "Waiting for Tonight" songstress received a kiss on the cheek from Casey Abrams, who performed Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe."
She's always up for a good time, and yesterday (April 19) Jennifer Lopez was at Best Buy in Los Angeles for a promotional event.
The "On the Floor" babe was in the house to launch the BlackBerry PlayBook as well as her new single "Papi" from her forthcoming album LOVE?
Gearing up for the release of her highly-anticipated album "Love," Jennifer Lopez debuted a third song over the weekend.
After her fans "unlocked" the song on her Facebook page, the "American Idol" judge premiered the brand new track called "Papi."
One of the more well-attended nuptials of recent memory, the biggest names in Hollywood were all dressed up as they arrived at Brad Grey's Bel-Air mansion on Saturday evening (April 16).
With Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes leading the charge, the "Top Gun" star and his "The Kennedys" wife were escorted into the grounds to watch Grey tie the knot with his beautiful bride Cassandra Huysentruyt.
Taking care of her job duties, Jennifer Lopez looked fabulous on last night's episode of "American Idol" (April 14).
The "On the Floor" songstress was all smiles as she hammed it up with Rihanna at the end of the program.

Anthea and Concordia are first seen in the opening sequence of Black and White. The player only encounters them in N's Castle, where Anthea heals the player's Pokémon, while Concordia tells the player more about N's past and Ghetsis.
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
Anthea and Concordia are seen in the original Team Plasma's safehouse in Driftveil City. They give the player more backstory about themselves and N, revealing that all three of them were orphans that Ghetsis took in. They were then put in charge of caring for N while he was a child.
Pokémon Black and White
- "Ah, good. Both you and your Pokémon regained energy... Trainers battle to practice their skills and to grow in experience, but never to hurt their Pokémon. My lord N has realized this, deep down in his heart...but he has spent too much painful time here in this castle to admit it..."
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
- "Team Plasma is an organization created by a man named Ghetsis to help him take over the Unova region. The one he groomed to help him further his nefarious aims was N. N was a strange boy who was called the child of the Pokémon."
- "I wonder if N understands now. Trainers battle with Pokémon not to hurt them, but so Trainers and Pokémon can understand one another better! It's the simplest way for them to do this. The more serious the battle, the more the true nature of Pokémon and people becomes apparent!"
Pokémon Black and White
- "I am Concordia. I give peace and comfort to N. N has been separated from people since he was young. He was brought up with Pokémon... Pokémon that were betrayed, mistreated and hurt by bad people... Ghetsis deliberately brought only those poor Pokémon closer to N. N was touched by their plight, and started pursuing idealsB/the truthW, thinking only of Pokémon. N's heart is pure and innocent. But there is nothing more beautiful and terrifying than innocence."
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
- "N was an orphan. I heard that right after he was born, he upset people with behavior that suggested he could talk to Pokémon. When he was living in the woods with Darmanitan and Zorua, Ghetsis took him in. We are also orphans Ghetsis took in. Our task was to take care of N."
- "I don't understand N's pure and innocent feelings. But I will be very happy if he figured out what he wants to do on his own during his travels with the legendary Pokémon."
In the anime
Anthea and Concordia debuted at the end of Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!, where they rescued N after he was injured fighting Colress and Team Plasma in a city. With Ash and his friends in tow, they took N to their secret refuge in another dimension where they protect injured Pokémon.
Anthea and Concordia also appeared in the next episode, where they and N told Ash and company about their past with Team Plasma and Ghetsis. With N, they explained that the three of them were raised in a great mansion by Ghetsis and Team Plasma. However, when Reshiram destroyed the mansion during a ceremony two years prior, they realized Ghetsis was lying to them and helped N escape. Because of these experiences and Ghetsis's training, Anthea and Concordia were deeply distrustful of humans and even initially believed that Ash and his friends led Team Plasma to their hideaway. Ash, Iris and Cilan defeated the Team Plasma members, who had found their way into the dimension using a special machine, causing Anthea and Concordia to have second thoughts about them. After this, N joined his foster sisters, and disappeared into the mist. When the mist faded, N, Anthea, and Concordia were gone, and Ash and his friends found themselves on a wide field, where they saw the Dragonspiral Tower, towering a little distance away.
They were briefly seen at the beginning of Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry! and in N's fantasy in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!.
Anthea and Concordia made another appearance in What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!, where they came to the White Ruins to aid N in the fight against Ghetsis and Team Plasma. However, despite providing a distraction for N to free himself, Colress used his machine to control their Pokémon, luckily they were freed among the other controlled Pokémon when Reshiram destroyed the machine. At the end of this, Anthea and Concordia were finally able to realize the reality that not all people were cruel to Pokémon, finally enabling them to move on from their past.
They are N's allies and have similar abilities for hearing the voices of Pokémon.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Anthea and Concordia appear in the Black & White chapter of Pokémon Adventures. They are first seen in a flashback during N's battle against Black, in which they are seen accompanying him while he walks to his coronation.
It is later revealed that Anthea and Concordia were introduced to the Seven Sages three years before, when Ghetsis shows them in N's room, while he explains to the other sages his plan to make N the king of Team Plasma. It seems that their task in this plan was to keep N's innocence, bringing him up to be what he is now.
They later appear again alongside N as Ghetsis leads the rise of N's Castle and Team Plasma's assault against the Pokémon League.
- Harmonia, a name used by N and Ghetsis, is the Greek equivalent to Concordia.

Many of the plants in this collection are over 100 years old and have been maintained since then, so I would have to say that it is pretty impressive. I believe there are also some rare specimins in the group. Many of these flowers were donated to the university.
These are not peonies but most of the following flowers are. Since I'm not about to identify the different types, I will let the flowers speak for themselves for the most part.
I would say that the bulk of the collection is white and look very similar to this flower.
There are also quite a few with pink highlights. I'm not sure if this is because of crossbreeding or this is the way they appear.
I really like the center part because it looks like some sort of science fiction movie monster.
If I remember from doing this last year, this one is an anemone version.
I was trying to get multiple views of the flowers. Let me know which ones work the best.
I really like some of the deeper pink flowers.
I was amazed at the variety of colors.
Although the burgandy ones are pretty cool too. The light was just about right but in some cases almost overbearing.
In some cases, it really brought out the highlights though.
I tried to get a couple shots where the flower was balanced against the sky but I couldn't get low enough to get some of the trees out of the way.
This one seems to be an array of colors.
I really like the centers of some of the flowers.
This one almost reminded me of a cloud.
A shot of the array of flowers. I'm not really sure about this one though. I probably should have bumped the f-stop down a bit to get more blur to the background.
These were in a different part of the Arb and not a peony.
I think this one is the same type of flower but different color.
A yellow version.
Another shot of a group of flowers.
As I said, it was pretty sunny out and the light was catching some of the flowers just right.
I was watching this guy flit from flower to flower and this picture was completely accidental.
They say good things come in threes.
Another one with a nice grouping of colors.
A closeup of the center.
I am hoping that I can get to the Arboretum again before the blooms start to wilt. I'm not sure that is going to happen since I'm going to be gone for the next week. I was glad that I got the opportunity to go down there though.

Two-Time Defending Champion Azarenka Ousted From Australian Open
Rob GlosterSecond-seeded Victoria Azarenka was knocked out of the Australian Open in the quarterfinals today, ending her bid for a third straight title at the season's first Grand Slam tennis tournament.
Azarenka, from Belarus, lost 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 to No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who advanced to her first Australian Open semifinal.
Azarenka's loss means the top three women's seeds are all out in Melbourne. Top-seeded Serena Williams of the U.S. and No. 3 Maria Sharapova of Russia lost in the fourth round.
Radwanska's next opponent will be No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Warren Buffett is one of the world's richest and most benevolent men. The uber- billionaire has now donated approximately $2.6 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and four other charities. See Buffett Donates $2.6B In Berkshire Hathaway Shares. He did it with stock, of course. He handed over stock in his company, Berkshire Hathaway, donating 22,870,529 shares of his class B common stock. At the time of the donation, they were trading at about $115 per share.
According to his filing with the SEC, Buffett converted 14,000 class A shares to 21 million class B shares July 5 to complete the donation. Despite the gift, he is still worth over $59 billion. That is up from $53.5 billion in March, due to appreciating stock.
The bulk, 17,458,431 shares or about $2 billion, went to the Gates Foundation. The balance was split between the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named for his late wife; and his children's charities, the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation and the NoVo Foundation.
Famously, Buffett pledged to give away 99% of his fortune. In 2012, he gave $1.5 billion to the Gates Foundation. In the same year he pledged $3 billion of stock to his children's foundations. According to Forbes, Buffett has donated at least $11.5 billion in Berkshire Hathaway shares to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
When someone donates stock, what is the tax effect? The donor gets a charitable contribution deduction based on the fair market value of what is given. Value and basis are different things and that means a big tax advantage.
Mr. Buffett donates at the market value of the shares but doesn't have to pay income tax on his gain. That makes it far better than selling the stock, paying tax on the gain, and donating the cash. Giving appreciated property is the kind of wise tax planning you would expect from Mr. Buffett.
's CEO Mark Zuckerberg did the same thing in December of 2012. Mr. Zuckerberg donated $500 million of his Facebook stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Zuckerberg made his donation in the form of 18 million shares, translating to a $500 million tax deduction. The Facebook IPO price was $38 a share. They price dipped below $20 but then rose by more than 25% by the time of Mr. Zuckerberg's December 2012 donation.
Donating appreciated stock is a much better tax move than selling it and donating the sales proceeds. By donating the stock, the gain the donor would experience on selling it is never taxed. The donee organization can hold or sell the stock. But since it is a tax-qualified charity, if it sells the stock it pays no tax regardless of how big the gain.
Like Mr. Buffett and Bill Gates, Mr. Zuckerberg wrote that he and his wife Priscilla have signed the Giving Pledge, committing to give away at least half of one's fortune during his or her lifetime. Big donations yield big tax benefits.
Donations go on Schedule A to Form 1040, so you must itemize. You can only take a deduction for up to 50% of your adjusted gross income for most charitable contributions (30% in some cases). If your donations entitle you to merchandise, goods or services, you can only deduct the amount exceeding the fair market value of the benefits you received. If you pay $500 for a charity dinner ticket but receive a dinner worth $100, you can deduct $400, not the full $500.
Make sure the donee organization is qualified. You cannot deduct contributions to individuals, political organizations or candidates. The IRS maintains a list of all charities. To check whether particular organizations are on the IRS list, click here. It's unlikely that any of us will make it to Warren Buffett's level. Still, properly planned charitable contributions can be tax efficient and do good works too.

Kane Quinnell bought a new camera and, just for kicks, thought he'd take a couple of outdoor shots when a storm rolled in. He ended up with this pic of lightning frying his neighbor's house.
Quinnell hopes to duplicate the feat soon. And if you think he'll never take such a great photo again because of that whole "never strikes twice" thing, consider this:
NASA-funded scientists have recently learned that cloud-to-ground lightning frequently strikes the ground in two or more places and that the chances of being struck are about 45 percent higher than what people commonly assume.
Shocking! (Sorry, we can't help ourselves.)

Title: | The attitudes of Hong Kong students towards Hong Kong English and Mandarin-accented English |
Author: | Qi Zhang |
Linguistic Field: | Sociolinguistics |
Subject Language: |
Abstract: | The development of Hong Kong English (henceforth HKE) has triggered a number of concerns amongst the local population with respect to its status (Joseph, 1996; Luk, 1998; Bolton & Lim, 2000; Pang, 2003; Stibbard, 2004). However, despite the prominence of research into attitudes towards language variation within sociolinguistics, very few studies focus on Hong Kong English (Bolton & Kwok, 1990; Candler, 2001; S. Poon, 2007) or Mandarin-accented English (He & Li, 2009; Hu, 2004; F. Poon, 2006). The aim of this study is to uncover language attitudes towards HKE and Mandarin-accented English (henceforth ME) in the Hong Kong region through the application of the verbal-guise technique. |

Robotically posessed hunting trophies
For the hunters in your life that still don't get it that it is not okay to kill animals for sport or clothing, this prototype collection by designer/robotics teacher French Cadet is the gift for them. Walk in a room and the eleven Hunting Trophies will flash their eyes in red, orange, or green, turn their heads and move them up and down, and open and close their mouths. Here's where the payback comes in. The closer the visitor gets, the more aggressive the bots become and will growl. Walk past them all and a chain reaction of snarling will occur. Created out of I-Cybie robots and individual programming, they each have an infrared sensor that can detect the amount of people in the room and their movements.

Some one has to pin them down, possibly the Republican party, as to whether it's a tax or an unconstitutional mandate. Time for a new bill. Make the democrats tell us what it is!

Tein Tyaktein Bhunjitha Ma Gridhah Kasyaswid Dhanam (Whatever exists in the Universe, whether perishable or imperishable, mortal or immortal, transcendent or immanent, have as their essence, the Ultimate Reality. Live thus without favour or fear, free of desire, indeed without attachment.) Ishavasyopanishad |

If you have wealth, use it for the welfare of humanity. The fruits of wealth should not be 'bhog' or indiscriminate enjoyment - the fruits of wealth should be dharma (righteous action). The fruits of dharma, in turn, are moksha. Right action will lead to freedom from action. Bhog is the fruit of kaam - sense satiation is the fruit of uncontrolled desire. It is directed towards the world.
As long as one lives in the world, one must maintain a practical approach to life. Action should not be determined by mere sense perceptions, but action should be directed towards creating the right circumstances, balance and equipoise, that permit the unfolding of ones essence of spirituality. Action is also part of the divine play; duty and work are also aspects of the divine. Living in the world in no way prevents spiritual attainment. In the Vedic age, the rishis and enlightened sages were adepts of both para and apara - having spiritual attainment, while being accomplished and enormously successful in worldly matters. Raja Janak was a king, Kabir and Guru Nanak were householders, as was Lahiri Mahashaya. They attained the ultimate state of freedom while living in action.
Sant Bulle Shah said that we need food and drink to live. We do not live to eat and drink. He who merely eats, drinks and dies is worth nothing, because he has not sought the purpose of life.
Lord Krishna said in the Gita, in ch 3 shloka 8:
Do that work which is required of you because it is better to work than not to work. Without work, the body itself cannot be maintained. All karma or work should be done having dedicated it to the Higher Self, unattached to the fruits of action. This is niskama karmayog. That work which is offered to the Lord, and done without attachment, frees us, indeed it liberates us. Knowing this, neither seek nor find, but accept instead what comes to you. Free of desire for the results of our action, performing righteous action as our duty, continue to work as long as there is life in you. Only he who lives can be self-realised. The path of action that leads to self-realisation is through the performance of action without attachment.
Lord Buddha said the reason for both our sorrows and our happiness is our karma. Therefore, let us do that karma which creates joy and happiness. He suggested the middle path of right action, right understanding, right thought, right speech, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration. Through righteous action we are freed of negatives, we are freed of the bondage of the world created through our attachments.
"Karma brahmodh bhavang vidhi". Without knowledge of how to live, we cannot live righteously. So let our karmas be purified by knowledge and wisdom. Thus a karmayogi also becomes a gyanyogi.
The four Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda arise from Divine Breath, say the Brihadaranyaka Upanishads (4.5.11). The Vedas are revealed knowledge of the Divine Mind. They are the witness of the manifestation of Parbrahman or the Infinite. Know that the Vedas themselves are the cause of all karmas. Where life exists, karmas or work exists, verily our very being arises from karma.
Karma is the very nature of the world and causality is the law that governs this world. In the world of living, your karma alone determines your very existence.

It has been a busy month and I didn't get time to blog. Coming here today I just realized that in the passing month i just wrote on the first day of the May, and then today is the last day of the May. Almost one year after coming to this orange country, I have recently thought several times that I am slowly appreciating more and more about this tiny country, a place that I call home now. Especially when you travel to some where outside, you will deeply feel what has been missing and what is going wrong in different places.
Once we took the train to the Northern end of the Netherlands, we saw the wide open Eems canal, which is bordering with Germany, it reminds us that we have been missing open water for a while. Back in the US, our most favorable place in Rhode Island was the Colt State park, which is surrounded by the water body close to the sea. Another time I traveled to the middle-northern part of the UK, I suddenly realized that I have been missing moutains in my life in the Netherlands. It is such a flat country that you can only expect some hundred meter above sea level altitude close to the German border.
There is the saying: The God made the world, and Dutch made the Netherlands. 41.5 square kilometer, which is only one fourth of the size of the New York state, and total population fewer than the Beijing Municipality. Much of this country is below sea level and thus dependent on engineering works. Two days ago, on 28 of May, it was the 75 years anniversary of the Afsluitdijk. It was on 28th May 1932 that in the presence of Queen Wilhelmina the final gap was closed between the Zuiderzee (Southern sea) and the Wadden Sea / North Sea. The south side of the Afsluitdijk was named IJsselmeer . Finally the province North-Holland was connected to the province Friesland. Many of the often weak dykes around the lake were less of a risk during storms, like the great storm of 1916.
In terms of the planning culture in this country, people always like to put forward a 'hydrological hypothesis': since the dutch have had to wrestle their country from the sea and protect it against flooding ever since, they have learned to put common good above their own individual interests. In this way, Dutch respect experts. Dutch planners thus are able to shield from direct political interference. Dutch planners have made good use of being the professionals, and come up with convincing fomulations of developmental challenges and how to deal with them.
The biggest achievement of this planning effort is the maintainence of the polycentric ring of towns and cities called the Randstad, (see the picture) around a 'green heart' of relatively open land. Three major cities around the Randstad are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. This planning concept has held the suburban sprawl at bay, by chanelling growth to existing uban areas and only in the last resort developing a limited number of well defined green field sites.
Biking trails are the great place to enjoy your time. Only in cities it is parallel with slow moving vehicles. In most places these trails are part of the green. Trails sometimes parrallel to the highway for a while, but always with full partitions. If you can imagine biking along a eight lane express way with cars driving at more than 50 miles per hour, you would appreciate how much Dutch have appreciate in their city planning.

I had a tibial plateau fracture 3 years ago which required my knee to be scoped, along with damage to the trochlear groove that required a cartilage transplant,then a ateral retinaculum (kneecap loosened), I still have some pain and weakness in the knee along with slight limp, what are the chances of passing a medical review board?
BTW, I am 46, with 15 years prior service.
I hope MSG Glenn or another recruiter will chime in, but if you aren't able to pass the PT test, it doesn't look good. I think the only thing being offered to prior service is 18X Special Forces, so you'll probably not be allowed any waivers whatsoever.
It doesn't look good for you Mike. Sorry to be so blunt but as an NCO you know that's the only way. No use in sugar coating it.
Many physical problems that prospective recruits have had in the future can be waived but that's only after a certain period of being totally free from any lingering symptoms. Then a doctor, preferably the one who originally treated you, has to give you a clearance.
To be absolutely sure contact a Recruiter locally.
Good luck!
I thought that would be the case.

David Cameron and Barack Obama confess to craving time to think. For my views on this topic, see No Time To Think on the BBC website.
When my train to London was late yesterday, unusually for me, I took a taxi to get to my appointment. Perhaps my mistake was asking to be taken to Westminster, but instantly the taxi driver began a rant that gradually descended into racism. At times I wondered if I was in an Ali G spin-off and being taken for a ride in both senses - that pendant hanging from the mirror - did it have a concealed TV camera? Stephen Lawrence, he told me, must have said something to the people who killed him (though he agreed that wouldn't have justified murder) - his evidence: apparently Lawrence is giving the black power closed fist salute in all the photographs of him (this from someone who declared he doesn't read the newspapers or watch TV - so where does he see these photographs?) 'Why does one murder get all the attention' People are killed all the time.' (I tried rather feebly to point out that a racist murder has a symbolic value as well as the tragedy that it is for the individual and those he left behind).
In the course of a 15 minute ride he made comments about how he believed that black lesbians get preferential treatment when it comes to doing 'the knowledge', Eastern Europeans are the ones who rob cabbies at knife or gunpoint (no, it had never happened to him), and so on. He was a cheerful, friendly sort of man, and my attempts to stop the flow of racism by engaging him in a discussion of his prejudices were pathetic. I felt sullied by the whole experience, caught off-guard and weak at not confronting him more robustly...and possibly just getting him to stop the cab and get out. What really annoys me is that when I jumped out in heavy traffic I instinctively left a tip, despite my disgust at his views and disappointment about him matching up to the worst stereotypes of a London cabby - almost to the point of caricature (he even used the classic phrase 'what's it all about then?')...I'm still not absolutely sure I wasn't the victim of some kind of performance artist or reality TV stunt.
And then, again very unusually for me, I read Monday's The Daily Mail which was lying around at home (it was free at the gym) and while it's coverage of some topics fitted by stereotypical view of that newspaper, I was blown away by the leading letter to the editor: it was about Sartre's existentialism! Andew J. Smith from Roehampton University had written a clear response to a review of a prurient book about Sartre's and de Beauvoir's supposedly 'essential' relationship..He points out that, "far from being the 'bible or our licentious times'...existentialism is a philosophy which demands that all of us ask ourselves a very personal question: what gives my life meaning?" I don't agree with this as an encapsulation of Sartre's existentialism (since he answers that question rather than invites us to ask it - Sartre's answer is the choices I make, the sum of what I actually do). But how prejudiced of me not to expect to find existentialism being discussed in the letters page of the Daily Mail...
Contemporary Aesthetics is an online blind-reviewed high-quality free journal. This is a sensible way forward for academic journals - in Philosophy at least.
For many years journal publishers have been convincing philosophers to provide camera-ready copy, editorial support and give up their copyright in journal articles for no payment...Then their institutions would have to pay a high subscription. Not a great deal, given the large sums of money the publishers were making from the procedure...It is gratifying to see some philosophers seizing the means of production and by-passing publishers using this new technology.
Publishers of philosophy journals will have to offer more than they have done if they are going to compete with this sort of set up.
I interviewed Judge Richard Posner, author of an interesting book on Plagiarism (read my review here) for the Open University's Ethics Bites podcast. Unfortunately the ISDN line to Chicago was a bit crackly...There is also a transcript available.
Listen to Richard Posner on Plagiarism and Copyright
Philosophy seems to be taking off as a subject to study at University...Read about it here.
Philosophers don't have a particularly good record when it comes to giving practical advice to politicians...Plato didn't manage to pull it off; Machiavelli never weasled his way back into a position of power after being dismissed (though most politicians read The Prince, whether or not they admit to it - and if they've read it closely, they shouldn't admit to it); Rousseau had a go at giving advice, but again it didn't really work; there are a number of philosophers in the British House of Lords, some of whom make very useful contributions to government, and quite a few British MPs have studied some philosophy (often PPE at Oxford), but on the whole philosophers underperform when it comes to impacting on the political world.
You can listen to a very interesting podcast of Philip Pettit on The Philosophers' Zone, talking about his involvement with the Spanish government (this is a surprise!). Listen to Philip Pettit here (there's a transcript too if you don't want to listen).
Also, I interviewed Mary Warnock on Philosophy and Public Life for Philosophy Bites.
It is not clear to me how it is possible to live up to the latest UN pronouncement on free speech. You can read a Reuters' Report on this here.
If all those who speak, write, express their views have to respect all religious sensitivities, then what can anyone say? Some religious group is likely to be offended by almost any expression of a view. Does the UN want to stop us watching The Life of Brian, Jerry Springer the Opera, etc? Will atheists have to keep quiet about their beliefs for fear of offending religious sensitivities? Watch out Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and co. And how does all this square with the US First Amendment?
Philip Hensher wrote an interesting piece in The Guardian on this topic in 2006.
You can listen to my Humanist Thought for the Day here.
Peter Singer has described James Garvey's new book, The Ethics of Climate Change, as 'a model of philosophical reasoning about one of the greatest challenges any generation has ever faced.' In this interview for Virtual Philosopher he outlines some of the key themes of the book.
Nigel: Why did you write this book? What is its main message?
James: I wrote the book to help people into thinking about the ethical dimension of reflection on climate change. There's a great deal written concerning action on climate change, but often it's from a scientific or economic or political point of view. All of that matters, but climate change presents us with a host of moral problems. Getting those in plain sight is part of the point of the book. What we do about our changing planet depends a lot on what we value, on what we think is morally right.
Nigel: What are the most serious likely effects of climate change in the next 50 years?
James: In addition to more extreme weather, the most serious effects probably have to do with food and water. In Africa, for example, 250 million people will have trouble finding enough water by 2020. As glaciers recede in the Himalayas, as many as a billion people in Asia will run short of water by 2050. Farming will suffer accordingly. There's a lot of unpleasantness on the cards if we fail to act now.
Nigel: What do you think we should do about this? Where does the force of the moral claim come from?
James: The moral demand for action on climate change has three sources. If you think a little about the history of greenhouse gas emissions, you can come to the conclusion, pretty swiftly, that the industrialized world has done the most damage to the climate and therefore has the largest responsibility to take meaningful action on climate change. 'Meaningful action' means large reductions to emissions and stumping up something to help with adaptation all over the world.
If you think about present entitlements and capacities, you can arrive at the thought that the West currently uses more than its fair share of the carbon sinks of the world. Thoughts about corrective or compensatory justice issue in the conclusion that the West should take action on climate change, nudge the uses of resources nearer to equality. The West also is best-placed to make reductions – it has more room for reduction, more economic power, better technology, and on an on than the poorer countries on the planet.
If you think about the future, about sustainability, you can come around to the uncomfortable conclusion that everyone on the planet has a kind of obligation to leave a hospitable world in her wake. It's uncomfortable, because it's easy to bang on about the moral obligations of the rich, but reflection on sustainability seems to place demands on everyone, even those in developing countries whose lives are just getting tolerable.

The Crystal Maze
The Crystal Maze is a British game show which ran from 1990-1995. A team of six players completed challenges to win crystals. It was presented by Richard O'Brien from series 1 to 4 and Ed Tudor-Pole in series 5 and 6.
Game show[change | change source]
It was made by Chadsworth Television as an English version of the French show Fort Boyard. There are four zones in the maze - Medieval, Aztec, future and Industrial. In each zone, players attempt challenges to earn a crystal. Each crystal gives them five seconds in the Crystal Dome. After a while, the Industrial zone was replaced by an Ocean zone.
Crystal dome[change | change source]
The Crystal Dome is a large glass crystal where the players must go in at the end. Small golden and silver tickets are blown around the dome and they must try and catch as many as they can. For every gold token they put in the box, they get a point. For every silver token they put in the box, they lose a point.
If the team gets over 100 points, they win a big prize. If they do not win, they get a small crystal to take home with them.

Another bullshit saying disproved.After being "down sized" twice you may think this might apply to getting a safer job.If you haven't noticed,over the last few weeks my posts and humor is diminishing a squelch.Well only because of the GM/Chrysler merger.This would likely put me on the street again looking for work.Fuck...I had this resume in for a year before being contacted for the position.This merger would send thousands of applicants streaming into the job market to scoop up any morsel that paid a wage.At 50+ ,even though its illegal to discriminate,you can see it in their eyes at an interview. The 2 phone interviews go great,the personal interview as well is fantastic but you never receive that call back,dozens of times.Or,you have to take a personality profile test.Apparently my personality last year" wasn't what they were looking for "to sell bull shit electronics as part time Christmas help at fucking Best Buy! I'm fucked again.Don't get me wrong,I'm gonna get back out there and try try try.But its just not funny any more.The only humor I can think of is this....
At least I know how big the cock is I'm getting fucked with.This will be the second time Nardelli's

Happy Mother's Day!
Many of us follow our own path down motherhood.
May that path not be filled with 300 pound defensive ends.
'Cuz that just sucks.
Happy Mother's Day to all my teammates, whether you play football or not...
20 comments:
Hey Kate!!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! I hope this mothers day has been wonderful for you so far. I thought about you all day yesterday but spent the entire day washing the car and pressure washing the bricks and steps on the front porch. I even got the ceiling and walls done. Now if I could just force myself to spend (probably) another entire day doing the porch floor. I hope I don't put that off for another year. Ha-ha.
Love ya, Tracy :)

Subject | [VOTE] Tomcat 4.0.1 release |
Date | Fri, 12 Oct 2001 17:58:13 GMT |
Hi, I would like to call for a vote on the 4.0.1 release of Tomcat. This release does not include any emergency bug fixes (either security or critical) over 4.0, but does include fixes for a lot of problems dealing with useability and for a significant number of other bugs. There were no high risk changes over the 4.0.1 Beta 1 release, and very few changes overall, so I think it's appropriate to release 4.0.1 without the need for a new beta. Only one outstanding issue is remaining (bug 3770), and it will be addressed later today. The release notes for 4.0.1 contain the full list of changes over 4.0.1 Beta 1, and the release plan contains the latest bug status. Current open bugs in bugzilla will be resolved as either LATER, INVALID or WORKSFORME (the release plan contains indications about the outcome of each of the open issues). The vote will run until 10/14 or until a clear majority is found. The CVS will be tagged and the release will be packaged on 10/14. Should there be a critical bug found before the release date, the release will be postponed, and the bug will be addressed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] +1 I am in favor of the release, and will help support it [ ] +0 I am in favor of the release, but am unable to help support it [ ] -0 I not in favor of the release -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Remy | |
