If you want the machine and it won't be a financial hardship, get it. Life is short-enjoy it.
I say go for it if you can afford it. I'm in the process of getting a new/used machine...been looking at the HV Shappire 850,875 or the HV Topaz 30. Can't figure out if I want the embrodiery part, but like the larger sewing area to the right of the needle.
Buy it -- there's no calories in it! And hours spent at the sewing machine save BIG dollars on therapy! If DH says to buy it, then you should be a happy camper! LOL!
Absolutely Not! I bought a Janome 6600 two years ago because I couldn't afford the 7700 which is what I wanted!!!!! Then surprise...............I got a credit card offer of no interest for a year so I thought, well, that must be a sign from above so went and bought the 7700! Now I have both the 6600 and the 7700! (plus a smaller Janome for classes) The joke in our family is how many sewing machines does one person need to make a quilt?????
I don't care!!!!! I love my machines and use them both. It makes me happy.......................
Lol, I just had to laugh at your post because I felt the same way a couple of months ago! I have only been quilting for about a year now, I dabbled in it a little in the past but nothing like now. I started out with a new Singer machine, I think it cost a couple hundred bucks at Walmart about 15 yrs ago. I didn't really sew that much, made both my babies a baby blanket with my moms help of course, other than that, nothing really. Well then about a year ago I decided I wanted to make myself a little lap quilt. My mom and I were at Joanne's and she was looking into the Viking Sapphire 875Q, well I thought she deserved one so I bought it for her that day. (We had went there to buy a few yards of material for my lap quilt). I bought my material, went home started on my lap quilt and decided that my old singer was a piece of crap and that I needed a new one like my moms. So I went back to Joanne's and bought another Viking Sapphire 875Q. I finished my lap quilt and started really getting into Quilting, buying fabric like the Moda warehouse was on fire and I had to buy it all! Crazy crazy addiction! Well then I started hearing about all these great other machines, so I told myself that I had to have another one so I bought a new Janome 7700. I quilted one quilt on that, and some how got looking at Berninas....needless to say I now have 3 new machines, I had to have the Bernina 820 QE. I love this machine the most out of the 3 new ones. I wish I would have never bought the Janome I guess because I love the bernina so much that's all I want to use. My Bernina kicks butt hands down!
So I guess all the advice that I can give you is to investigate and make sure that you buy what you want. I had a magazine (I forget which one it was cuz for some reason I think I have to have all those too) that listed about 20 different machines and their differences and their price range. Great magazine, I think that's what got me going on the bernina. But jsut do some research first! I am done buying machines now for awhile, I have found my new love! I kinda felt greedy at first too, so I know how your feeling even though your hubby and daughter are telling you to go for it you still kinda feel guilty. You know why you kinda feel guilty? Because MOMS don't normaly spend money on themselves, it's always for the kids or someone else, that's why. Look at all of your husbands tools! Those are expensive too! So this is your tool!
Just for a funny: I read something somewhere once, can't really remember all of it but it was something about finally getting to use a clean towel after you shower, something like 'A mom has waited 18 yrs to have a nice clean towel all to herself without feeling guilty about it'. What I gathered from it is a mom always grabs her baby's dirty towel, that really isn't that dirty, instead of getting a clean one, save those for the kids and DH, besides all that you do the laundry. Sounds kinda gross but I'll be honest and say I have done it before! (especially if its just for my hair)....lol.. Buy the machine if you want it.
If you can afford it and have the room, why haven't you bought it already???
I say go for it. I bought my Brother QC1000 machine on a whim 4 yrs ago(and well I had just gotten a good size lump of money) and I am still very happy with it. It is heavy. I cannot take it anywhere . I do have 5 other vintage machines but have come to the conclusion that I REALLY need a smaller lighter machine with an auto threader :) So am considering selling my vintage machines to finance my newer machine. I will get it at the dealer where I got my Brother although they have changed over to Babylock it looks like.
If you get the Pfaff you will love it! I have one and it is a dream machine!
I'm glad you bought it! Good for you!
your family is telling to buy it ,they know how you feel about quilting .i say go for it you only live once

Spons`d Tingles KY Intense - Pitts vs Depps
KY has asked me to get the summer sizzle started with a hot couple-off: matching Hollywood couples in a smutty sexy battle determined by your votes. Why not start at the top of the food chain?
In one corner, the Brange.
They need no introduction. His patented hand on the ass on every red carpet, their, um, reportedly very loud lovemaking session in Africa that alerted security and had the animals baying in the jungle night, the way they put their guns down and got busy in Mr & Mrs Smith. Yeah, I'll admit it: I may have rewinded and rewatched that part several times, extended and uncut, at home on DVD.
You want it? It's yours…
Sweet quivering loins – it was the birth of Pitt Porn. And the tabloids have never looked back. And it resulted in a Chosen One and her Holy Twin siblings.
And the other corner – Johnny and Vanessa.
Obviously much more private than the publicity savvy Pitts, Johnny and Vanessa have guarded their lives fiercely, going to great pains to avoid attention. But she is the one who settled his soul and silenced all his demons. After dramatic affairs with Winona Ryder and Kate Moss, one day he saw her from behind and it was over.
"I was in the lobby of the hotel, getting messages. I turned around and across the lobby saw this back. She had on a dress with an exposed back. I thought, Wow. Suddenly the back turned and she looked at me. I walked right over, and there were those eyes again. I knew it was her. She asked, Do you remember me? I said, Oh yeah. We had a drink, and it was over with at that point. I knew I was in big trouble."
Can you imagine?
Imagine the sweetness AND the business.
Who's business is hotter?
Brange or J&V?

I read a artical today about the FDA. It talked about them thinking of lowering the restrictions on food lables. Allowing food manufacturers to make health claims on there lables. Befor, health claims had to be proven by scientific test.
From what I understand this will allow honey packers to do the same thing. None of this is in effect as of yet, and I haven't looked under the FDA web sight for all the facts, but this might be a real good thing for the honey market.

New Romney ad on bipartisanship: "We need to have leadership in Washington that will bring people together"
posted at 6:41 pm on October 19, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
If there are any common issues upon which the low-information, swing-able, independent-to-moderate voters can likely agree, I'd reckon that "too much partisanship and gridlock" is one of them. Congress is pretty deeply unpopular, and after their recent low-output performance, it makes sense that a message about bipartisanship, working together, and getting things done would resonate with a lot of people. In that light, I think this is probably a pretty smart ad:
It's positive, it's encouraging, and it points out one of President Obama's most glaring failures: As much as Obama likes to hem and haw about how Republicans are blocking his agenda items just to be spiteful, he's the president of the United States, for goodness' sake. People want to see some leadership, and that excuse only gets you so far for so long. You can accuse the GOP of being unyielding as much as you want, but in our democracy it takes two to tango, and everybody knows it.
In the past couple of presidential debates, I thought Mitt Romney skillfully navigated a few tricky areas by reverting to a "I worked with the other side and we passed legislation on a bipartisan basis during my Massachusetts governorship" line. As Dick Morris pointed out, people seemed to respond positively to the idea — and it highlights yet another of President "If you're looking for just a bunch of partisan rhetoric, I'm probably not your guy" Obama's promises gone awry.

In the 1940s and 50s, the popular culture of the United States was saturated with images of cartoons.
The baby boom inspired the use of cartoons in advertising; lure in the kids, and the parents will spend more money. But whether for advertising or entertainment, cartoons were the order of the day, and the visual language through which they communicated was seen on a massive scale.
Accessibility is one aspect of cartoons that makes them excellent inspirations for visual art. A vast majority of the population has seen a cartoon on television, in a movie, or as part of a comic strip or graphic novel.
This widespread familiarity with the construct of cartoons allows people of all ages and sensibilities to enjoy and understand the message contained therein.
Presently on view at the Ball State University Museum of Art, Art in the 'Toon Age, an international exhibition of forty-two contemporary works of art. Featured artists include Roger Brown, John Clem Clarke, Takashi Murakami, Chicago Imagists Jim Nutt and Karl Wirsum, and many more. These artists grew up seeing cartoons used frequently in the world around them. In many cases the only thing stronger than the sweeping lines and colors of these works is the pure sense of whimsy and innocence. Evident in so many works is a springing line and vivid characterization. These cheerful expressions are typically reserved for very positive subjects and objects which require little interpretation; however it becomes evident that the meaning of many such inspired pieces is much deeper. Selected pieces from the exhibition belie their mild-mannered appearance by divulging themes of genocide, despair, and aggression upon closer inspection. In this way cartoons have come of age and been adapted to speak of more aspects of human life than ever before.
Exhibition Date: August 19, 2005 - October 30, 2005

Research is challenging the long-held dogma on the relationship between saturated fat, milkfat and cardiovascular disease.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
For over half a century, the concept of healthy eating has become synonymous with avoiding fat, especially saturated fats, noted Adam Lock, Michigan State University, at the Southwest Nutrition and Management Conference. He went on to add that current investigations now show this conclusion and subsequent advice was based on incomplete and in some cases, flawed science.
In essence saturated fats have been demonized as a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Evidence available today, however, demonstrates that the proportion of total energy from fat or saturated fat is largely unrelated to the risk of cardiovascular disease or other chronic diseases. More than 270 risk factors for heart disease are known. Genetics and smoking, not the consumption of dairy foods, are the biggest risk factors.
Public health organizations around the world include milk and other dairy products in their recommendations for a healthy well-balanced diet. Despite being a dense source of nutrients in the diet, dairy products are a major contributor of saturated fats accounting for 20 to 30 percent of the saturated fat intake in the U.S. diet. Cheese is the primary source of dietary saturated fats.
New research has demonstrated the important role that milk and dairy products play in health maintenance and the prevention of chronic diseases. A meta-analysis of 21 epidemiologic studies indicated that there is no significant evidence that dietary saturated fat is associated with an elevated risk of coronary heart disease or CVD.
In a multi-ethnic study examining the relationship between consumption of saturated dairy fat and CVD, researchers concluded that a higher intake of saturated fat was associated with a lower CVD risk. Importantly, the association depended on the food source, with the consumption of dairy saturated fat being inversely associated with risk. These findings raise the possibility that associations of foods that contain saturated fat with health may depend on the fatty acids present in these foods.
A concurrent study found a reduction in CVD risk in subjects with the highest dairy consumption relative to those with the lowest intake. A number of additional studies published within the past decade continue to confirm these results.
Overall, the science clearly demonstrates the importance of milk and dairy products in development, health maintenance and the prevention of chronic diseases.

The only sport on campus where you can compete and travel with members of the opposite sex. Must be adept at hiking out (hooking your feet under straps while hanging your butt over the edge of the boat) in all weather conditions and leaning in (to the bar) after the regattas. Typically a good sport for engineers who like the physics of how boats work and business majors who enjoy the sport's social side. College sailors will learn fun new vocabulary words like croakie, burgee, halyard and roll tack. Many students join college sailing teams for the cool swag.

Contract Positions That Will Lead to Pentesting
Some background on me, I have a master's in information security, a great GPA, and over 10 years of IT and software development experience. My security-related experience is limited to one internship, and my current position of doing part-time, unpaid website pentesting for a small startup company. My resume is good enough that I receive callbacks for 80% of the jobs I apply for, but my problem is actually passing the subsequent interview rounds as I don't know the answers to certain technical questions due to my lack of experience. So my idea for the past year has been to work on various certifications and classes like eCPPT and HackingDojo to try to gain knowledge so I can pass the technical parts of the interview.
As a result, I haven't really considered these audit or policy positions as I don't think they'll provide me with the answers to questions like "How many IPs are on a /23 network?" or "Where is Libc located in Linux?" I'd rather work on certifications and teach myself various things instead of working on policy stuff I don't care about. Are there any types of contract positions (besides the obvious like network security, intrusion analysis, etc), that I should be on the look out for that would help me start a career as a pentester?

Jane Barker 1652-1732
British novelist and poet.
Barker's chief contribution to literature is her "Galesia Trilogy," consisting of Love Intrigues; or, The History of the Amours of Bosvil and Galesia (1713); A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies; or, Love and Virtue Recommended (1723); and The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen: Design'd for the Farther Entertainment of the Ladies (1726). Although Love Intrigues was originally credited as being authored only by "A Young Lady," by the time of A Patch-Work Screen, Barker had decided to take credit for the work using her own name; historians of women's literature take interest in Barker's unabashed authorship. Barker wrote during a period of transition spanning the time when literature was written for the elite few and circulated privately to the time when novels were written expressly with the buying public's taste in mind. During this time of change, histories, romances, and novels overlapped and commingled, with no clear lines separating and defining the genres. Literature historians give credit to Barker for her influence on making the novel more socially acceptable by making it morally instructive, particularly on sexual matters. Additionally, Barker is praised for her realism, subtlety, irony, experimentation in form, and modernistic conclusions in which not all problems are neatly resolved.
Biographical Information
Barker was born in Northamptonshire in 1652 to Thomas Barker, a Royalist who served in the court of Charles I, and to Anne Connock, whose prestigious family supported the Stuart monarchs. Sometime in the 1660s Barker attended a girls school near London and also learned farm management—unusual for a female—firsthand at her family's extensive agricultural property in Lincolnshire. This rural life and activity became the subject of many of Barker's poems. Barker shared her poetry with family and educated friends, many of whom were male. It is also believed that at this time—under the working title "Scipiana"—she began her first novel, Exilius, or, The Banish'd Roman: A New Romance: In Two Parts, Written after the Manner ofTelemachus, which would not be published until 1715. Barker's association with students of Cambridge eventually yielded a two-volume collection entitled Poetical Recreations: Consisting of Original Poems, Songs, Odes &c. With Several New Translations. In Two Parts, Part I. Occasionally Written by Mrs. Jane Barker. Part II. By Several Gentlemen of the Universities, and Others, published in 1688. In approximately 1685 Barker moved to London. James II succeeded Charles II to the throne upon the latter's death, and granted Catholics rights previously denied to them; Barker is believed to have converted to Roman Catholicism during this time. Many powerful Protestants opposed James and in 1688 he fled to France, yielding to William of Orange. Tens of thousands of James's supporters left England for France, and their number included Barker. As a Connock and royalist, Barker enjoyed respect in her new setting, and continued to write poetry, much of it in praise of James. In 1704 Barker returned to England. It was here that Love Intrigues was published by the notorious bookseller Edmund Curll. Curll, who advertised heavily his publications, found that the public was fond of Barker's writings, encouraged Barker to satisfy her readers, and continued to publish her books. Critics note that Barker first saw her writing in print at a relatively late age and that she continued working into her seventies. She persevered even after becoming blind in her last years by hiring someone to take down her dictated words. Barker died in France in 1732.
Major Works
Poetical Recreations saw the first appearance of Barker's Galesia, a poet character considered by critics to be the alter-ego of the author. The poetry that constitutes this volume reflects Barker's rural upbringing, explores female-female relationships, and stresses the importance of keeping control of one's emotions and maintaining faith. In certain poems Barker, never married, celebrates life as a spinster. Love Intrigues was originally released with the author credit of "A Young Lady," although in reality Barker was already over sixty years old. Love Intrigues was very successful and went through four editions by the middle of the century. The two-volume set The Entertaining Novels of Mrs. Jane Barker (1719) includes revised versions of Love Intrigues and Exilius several previously unpublished short stories. Exilius mixes various romances in an ambiguous moral fable centering on the heroine Scipiana. In Exilius, Scipiana extolls the value of learning for women. Love Intrigues was Barker's first semi-autobiographical novel. In it, Galesia recalls her younger days when she was romantically pursued by Bosvil, her cousin. This tale of an on-and-off, on-and-off, unrequired-love relationship has a deliberately inconclusive ending. The sequel, A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies, finds Galesia embittered toward the idea of marriage after having suffered from Bosvil's baseness. The title refers both to the experimental nature of having the story seen through various characters, with their narratives of differing tones, and the nature of the stories themselves, which range from love stories to murder tales. Murders are even more prominent in the last work of the Galesia trilogy: The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen. Galesia, now older, reflects on the follies she has witnessed in the world. The tone is grim as Galesia details the difficulties women face in society.
Critical Reception
Feminist critics find Barker's work an excellent source for the history of women's roles in society and personal relationships. Kathryn R. King (1994) finds note-worthy the fact that Barker freely associated with educated men, a practice that runs counter to some commonly-held conceptions about early women writers. Critics agree that Barker did not simply cater to the public's demand and write whatever she thought they would buy; on the contrary, critics find her work to be of considerable depth, with psychological insights that would not be out of place in twentieth-century novels. Margaret Anne Doody writers: "In her mingling of tones and impressions, in her representation of fancy, memory, and desire, Barker was an influence upon the Richardsonian novel. She also announces themes and techniques found in twentieth-century novelists, particularly women writers such as Dorothy Richardson, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, and Barbara Pym. Like these writers, she draws upon and fictionalizes her own experience, often with considerable humor."

Town Square
On Deadline: Global Community disappears from Palo Alto
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson, editor emeritus, on Feb 26, 2011
Assets are now being dispensed to other organizations, including some spinoff groups, that fit criteria that align with the Global Community's beliefs and mission -- see www.globalcommunity.org .
Yet the organization will endure in the memories of literally thousands of persons it touched, sometimes deeply and sometimes without their knowledge, or negatively -- including me and my wife over several years in the late 1960s and early 1970s and in light incident when I was a young reporter for the erstwhile Palo Alto Times.
For 60 years, the organization went through a dynamic process of shifting its focus and creating spin-off efforts that focused on what some involved saw as an attempt at unification of science and religion, following in the philosophical footprints of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the Jesuit priest-theologian and a geologist-paleontologist of a century ago.
Among other things, the organization is credited with ending the construction of nuclear power plants, primarily on the grounds that long-lasting and highly poisonous plutonium was simply too dangerous to the health of the world to continue creating with no fail-safe way of storing nuclear waste.
Promoting world peace and disarmament has been a continuing theme, based on the empowerment of individuals, a belief that the world, and the universe, is a single integrated system that encompasses both physical and spiritual/intellectual realities.
The organization evolved into an activist network that stood for promoting "life choices" over "death choices" from the individual/family level to global change.
Jim Burch, former Palo Alto mayor and a 40-year leader in the organization, joined with Palo Altan Don Fitton in outlining a detailed history of the group at a close-out event Dec. 31 that was featured Friday night in a Midpeninsula Community Media Center program. It was repeated Saturday night (Feb. 26) and will be repeated in future showings not yet scheduled.
That history, as could be expected, includes a heavy dose of controversy that peaked when it tackled nuclear power, stirring up leading nuclear-power advocates such as PG&E and Southern California Edison Company. Burch traveled the state debating Michael Peevey, now the president of the California Public Utilities Commission with a long history of promoting efficient energy usage. But at the time, Peevey was president of Southern California Edison, which was pushing nuclear power hard at the time.
The controversy also included some persons who were convinced by the early 1980s that it was a cult bent on infiltrating community organizations, from PTA chapters and school site councils to local government. The Palo Alto Weekly even ran a cover story about the group, then known as the Creative Initiative Foundation, an evolution from a confusing name, National Initiative. The organization was known earlier as Woman to Woman Building the Earth, and later designations included Sequoia Seminar, a major conference center in the Santa Cruz Mountains; Project Survival, the anti-nuclear-power effort; Beyond War; and finally Foundation for Global Community.
My personal experience with the group was overall positive. Starting a new family in Los Gatos while commuting to Palo Alto, my wife and I became hungry for some kind of intellectual discussion beyond baby talk. One night we attended a presentation at Los Gatos High School, our alma mater, called "Challenge to Change."
That outreach program for Sequoia Seminars included an impressive multiple-projector slide show that interspersed images of health and peace with war scenes and nuclear explosions, and powerfully presented the life-choices vs. death-choices scenario. We were invited to attend a discussion group of the same name. Our first group was led by a delightful couple, Ed and Barbara Thomas, now residing in Grass Valley.
They led us gently through a series of topics, using the powerful tool of group dynamics to lead us to conclusions that in hindsight were fairly obvious. I jotted down notes in a small leather notebook, a practice I started as a memory-assist in late grade school.
Then my family moved to Menlo Park, and two or three years later my wife and I decided to participate in another Challenge-to-Change discussion group in the area. Ah, but now there were printed handouts with an attractive design on rich brown paper. I found out Friday that Burch, formerly in marketing, designed the materials.
As such they were impressive, but the seven tenets we'd arrived at by discussion in Los Gatos were now listed in print -- and I noticed some changes. I dug out my old notes and at the next meeting noted that one tenet, "Accept Authority," had moved from down the list to number one. In our initial discussion, "authority" was defined as knowledge-based. But now the meaning had a connotation of following orders, and the fact that the young couple moderating the group had German accents didn't help.
We progressed through another layer of more personal discussions in a second group, and finally attended a weekend event at the Sequoia Seminar center in the redwoods. It was a deeply moving weekend that got into some valuable areas of couples interactions. But at the end I raised an objection that the organization clearly had an underlying layer of being religious -- yet that was never indicated in the materials or Challenge to Change presentation.
"Why not just admit it?" I asked.
I later exchanged letters with early co-founder Harry Rathbun about that point, in a polite philosophical dialogue. The group had not yet launched its major anti-nuclear and antiwar efforts.
A second connection was when the group formed one of the most impressive demonstration teams I've ever seen. That involved hundreds of women, mostly upper middle class, who dressed in polyester pantsuits of pastel colors, representing all the colors in the rainbow. The women in various colors would march or circle together.
One demonstration was aimed at Palo Alto city government, and they expected the Palo Alto Times to cover it. They seemed to take it personally when reporter Mary Fortney (who died in January) didn't show as expected. Someone suggested that the group of a couple dozen women take the demonstration to the newspaper, which they did.
This freaked out the building manager, a pretty conservative fellow, and a cluster of management and staff gathered inside the lobby, uncertain how to (or whether to) respond or call the police. I recognized some of the women, and on my own went outside and chatted with them in a friendly fashion. Mary showed up by then.
Then I asked if any had ever seen the backshop of a newspaper, still featuring large Linotype machines for typesetting and its own three-story high press. So I invited them all for a walk-through, further freaking out the building manager. At the end they thanked me and dispersed.
Burch recalls another demonstration that had an odd twist. Someone noticed that there were a group of official-looking men closely watching a demonstration in San Francisco and surmised (possibly from the short-brimmed hats and dark glasses that were the "FBI uniform" at the time) that it was the FBI. When they informed the women they said they knew that, and that three of the agents were husbands of women in pantsuits.
It was a unique organization that left a deep mark on the Palo Alto area, and far, far beyond.
AN INVITATION: Those who have been involved with or touched by the organization or its spinoffs, or concerned or critical of it, may comment below with personal accounts and memories.

I remember one of my co-workers, who got heavily involved with this group. He became non-rational, though not irrational. It was clear to me that he had drunk the koolaid. It WAS a cult! It reminded me of Synanon, in the way it used psychological techniques on the serachers (like Jay T., apprently).
This group left a sad legacy of opposing nuclear power, something we dearly need.
It is so good that they are now gone.

The article leaves out The Foundation's major contribution to Peninsula humor: inspiring the bumper sticker "Visualize Whirled Peas."
Its final physical legacy may be the signs in the parking lot at High and Everett, near its former HQ: "Visualize Being Towed."

Weren't they influential in the 1988 referendum to outlaw nuclear power in Palo Alto (or some such)?

I attended many lectures and events at Foundation for Global Community and learned a great deal from the experience- all very positive which resulted in some serious collaborations which have spanned many, many years. I will always be appreciative of what they did. One thing Jay forgot to mention is the Earth flag or Earth image which they tried to get out to schools and seen widely, to shift human perspective of our relationship with other people outside the United States and across boundaries, to see ourselves as part of a whole. They also had a display of a "Walk Through Time."... which looked at the evolution of the planet, its lifeforms, and the recent arrival (in geological time) of the human species, designed again to get people to think more deeply about who we are and our relationship with the Universe, the planet, all the other lifeforms.
My life has been greatly enriched by their existence; they were a real gift to Palo Alto and the country.

I should have mentioned those susceptible souls, sleeplessly seeking solace, sadly searching shallow, shady streams, shrinking and shirking and shouting, seeing shreads of subterfuge.

A cult, by any other name, is still a cult.

I realize that I'm a bit late to the discussion, but wanted to input anyway. My parents were involved with the Creative Initiative Foundation in the 70's, and for our family, it was one of the most enriching, positive, life affirming things they could have done for us. I feel fortunate to have been a part of it growing up and it has affected my own growth as a human being teaching me compassion and care for our planet and the people on it. I am sad it is gone and it WILL be missed.

My ex-wife and I were deeply involved in this cult from 1967 to 1976. We actually led several,week-long events at Sequoia Seminar along with hundreds of meetings and other events. The thing that is missing from this thread is the central role of Emelia Rathbun, who was the motive force behind absolutely everything. She was the most powerful leader that I have ever known, absolutely remarkable. By the grace of God she had very little personal ego involved and, as a result, more positive things happened than negative ones. The anti-nuclear stance finally motivate me to quit. I am a scientist at heart and reason finally prevailed, but it was a close call.
I am glad that it is finally over. I am glad for my participation; I am a better person for it but it was becoming a negative thing for society as a whole.
Thirty-eight years later am in a good place. I will be eighty next year and I am grateful for my experience with this cult but i am surely glad that it is over.

I'm actually from Colorado, where we had a fledgling organization of Creative Initiative. I think it was wonderful in the things we were taught, learned, and taught to others. It changed my life, promoted my religious beliefs, made my marriage strong, helped me to be a better parent and to develop the potential in my children. Beyond that, I could not go because I was unwilling to spend large amounts of time away from my growing family. I know the leaders were disappointed in me and had expectations that I didn't fulfill. However, there were hidden agendas, revealed slowly, that made me feel manipulated. Leadership here got on a power trip that was most confusing. So we had to leave, but I will always be very grateful for this experience.

Interesting that discussion still pops up after years and years. My late wife and I were very involved with CI for a number of years, attended Sequoia Seminars, participated in the Manna Mart and generally grew from the experience. My background being brought up in a dogmatic religious group left me gun-shy and I remember vividly a personal discussion with Harry Rathbun, who was the intellectual leader of the group, where I voiced my concerns. His response was "search for your personal truth and when you find it, embrace it... we'll never impose a belief system on you". Not long after as Beyond War troops reintegrated the organization with their energy and self righteousness, they introduced the "Book of Life" with the dictum "either sign the declaration (effectively a dogmatic statement of belief for the organization) or leave the organization". I left... sad but wiser.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Apple Looks to Ruin Google's Jelly Bean Party With More Lawsuits
Jason Mick
November 7, 2012 5:38 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Meanwhile Samsung aims to toss the case on grounds of juror misconduct
Apple, Inc.'s (
) legal efforts against Android haven't stopped its sales momentum. Google Inc.'s (
) operating system today
is out-selling Apple
5-to-1 in unit sales [
Meanwhile, Apple's efforts to ban Android devices has run into a few roadblocks; for example Apple's litigation against Google subsidiary Motorola Mobility has been dismissed with prejudice
not once,
not twice
but three times
from different federal courts.
I. Apple Wants to Greatly Expand its Bans
But as they say, you only need to be in the right place at the right time, and that's precisely what happened when Apple sued Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) in
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
. Initially,
Judge Lucy Koh
moved to dismiss the case, but in a somewhat unusual outcome a three-judge panel at the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
[PDF] Judge Koh to reconsider tossing the case. Judge Koh subsequently allowed Apple to take Samsung to trial, and in a stunning outcome the jury -- some of whose family members were Apple shareholders -- found Samsung
guilty of $1.05B USD
in damages.
In the wake of that lone victory, Apple is looking to
triple the damages to $3B USD
and to ban more Google products. Hoping that lightning will strike twice, Apple filed in court this week request Judge Koh to tack on Google's latest Jelly Bean operating system, and Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1.
While Apple's products don't have a stylus, the company still claims that the Samsung stylus-endowed designs infringe on its patents.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a particularly thorny pain in Apple's side. It features a friendly pen-input technology that Apple's iPad lacks. Samsung has
gained quite a bit of ground on Apple
in the tablet industry; Apple is eager to stomp out that potential rival before things get to far.
And by asking to ban Jelly Bean devices, Apple can hope to not only kill shipments of older Samsung smartphones to the U.S., but also to kill Samsung's full lineup of phones.
II. Judge Koh Strikes Down One Key Ban
It's unclear, though, whether Judge Koh will humor Apple.
Judge Koh, despite allowing the record jury verdict, recently struck down
the ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1
(the precursor to the Note 10.1), as the jury found it did not infringe on
U.S. Design Patent D504,889
, a design patent which depicted a bulkier button-less early iteration of the iPad, nicknamed by some the "fat iPad".
While Judge Koh did acknowledge that the Tab 10.1 was found to infringe on Apple user interface patents, she argued that was insufficient to ban the handsets.
That's bad news for Apple, as while the jury found Samsung's product line to be almost entirely in infringement of Apple's UI patents, they only found some handsets to be close enough to Apple's smartphone patents to be ruled in infringement. In other words if Judge Koh applies the same standard to smartphones, only a couple of older Samsung handsets, like the first-generation Galaxy S, might be banned.
Apple wants to add 17 more products to its lawsuit. [Image Source: Jason Mick/DailyTech]
Apple is making its plea to expand the case before
Judge Paul S. Grewal
, who will decide whether to send the new products for consideration by Judge Koh and the jury. Samsung is understandably upset about the additions, which it argues will add 17 stylus-based products to the existing case. (While Apple's products do not use a stylus, it argues its patents cover the absent feature as well.)
It argues it only wants to add a single product, albeit a big one --
the iPhone 5
. Victoria Maroulis, an attorney for Samsung, writes in a counter-brief to Apple's request, "By adding the stylus, Apple is going to enlarge the case significantly."
III. Jury Foreman Had Undisclosed Legal Bone to Pick With Samsung, Samsung Files for Retrial
On an interesting note Judge Koh agreed to hear arguments from Samsung that look to toss the $1B USD jury verdict on grounds of juror misconduct. The claims don't deal with the share-holding family members; that interest was clearly disclosed and ruled okay by Judge Koh.
However, one of the jurors did not reveal, when directly questioned if they had ever been involved with a lawsuit, an important case win which they were the defendant. Specifically, the juror had been sued by a hard-drive manufacturer that now controls Samsung's old hard drive business -- Seagate.
The jury foreman in the record verdict against Samsung "accidentally" forgot to mention he had been sued in the 1990s by a Samsung subsidiary. [Image Source: Walt Disney]
Basically, the juror had signed a note promising to pay Seagate, but did not, leading to a breach of contract suit. In other words, that juror, Velvin Hogan -- who also happened to play the pivotal role of jury foreman -- seemingly would have a huge bone to pick with Samsung.
In light of that undisclosed bias, Samsung's attorney's
are pleading
with Judge Koh to toss the verdict and grant a retrial with a new foreman who doesn't conceal potential legal grudges against their firm.
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Hyleas Fountain, a junior from the University of Georgia, won three of four events on the first day of the Sea Ray Relays Heptathlon to take a 94-point lead over unattached Jennifer Hoppe on Wednesday afternoon at a cold and rainy Tom Black Track.
Fountain, the 2003 Southeastern Conference indoor pentathlon champion, led off the day by taking first in the 100m hurdles in 13.63 to collect 1031 points. She followed that up by claiming the high jump with a leap of 5-9.25/1.76m to accumulate 928 more.
After stumbling to an eighth-place finish and 531 points in the shot put with a throw of 32-10.50/10.02m, Fountain closed the day in strong fashion. The Enola, Pa., native zipped to top honors in the 200-meter dash in 24.79. Her tally of 906 in that race boosted her total to 3396 and gave her a small cushion over Hoppe (3302) heading into Thursday's final three events. Lela Nelson of Eastern Michigan is third at 3003, while Vanderbilt's Josie Hahn (Clinton, Tenn.) was fourth at 2986.
Fountain, coached by former Lady Vol multi-event standout Tonya Lee, will attempt to wrap up the title as the 13 contestants battle in the long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter run on Thursday. The first event begins at 4 p.m.
The distance carnival also gets underway on Thursday night, as the women will run the Invitational 3000 meters at 6:30 p.m., the
Invitational 5000 meters at 7:15 p.m. and the 10,000 meters at 8:50 p.m. Lady Vols Erin Anderson (Jr., Kent, Ohio) and Katie
Flaute (Fr., Dayton, Ohio) will run in the 3K and 5K, respectively.

My beautiful country celebrates its 62 years of Independence today
Happy Birthday, Israel!
May Israel have many, many, many more!!!
Yes, and many many more!
Mazel tov!
I just sent a dozen yellow roses (color of friendship) to Netanyahu the other day to show him that Israel has many, many friends in the US, who will stand by them no matter what (or who).
God bless you, Israel!!
Sha'a'lu Shalom Yarushaliam!
Yay! Happy birthday, Israel!
Yay! Happy birthday, Israel!
Happy Birthday Israel! (is it a public holiday?)
Mazel Tov!
Yes, it is a public holiday beginning this evening and continuing until tomorrow evening.
We call it Yom HaAtzmaut/Independence Day!
Even bigger - public holiday!
I subscribe to a Jewish newsletter and this was the "quote of the day":
"In Israel, in order to be a realist, one must believe in miracles."
--- David ben-Gurion
Just love this!
Happy Independence Day to a brave friend, Israel!
And may you have many, many more!!!
Happy Birthday Israel!
Happy Independence Day! And beautiful video.
Wheee ! Enjoy !
how is this not in "Politically Incorrect" section?
I hope you had a happy (Independence/Birthday) day
For the same reason that Happy St Patrick's Day or other holiday threads aren't.
Hope it was a good day.
Yom Huladet Sameach l'Yisrael lichvod Yom ha'atzma'ut! (Happy Birthday to Israel in honor of Israel Independence Day -62 years young). Am Yisrael Chai - May Israel Live!
Shalom & Mazel Tov.
Am Ezrael Czai!
So, when is it Palestine's Independence Day??
I agree with berthesghost on this one...
Thanks for the poster that pointed me that Palestine's Independnce Day is November 15th (guess I am that google challenged...). I should have checked my facts, and it has never been my intention to offend anyone...

AIDA64 Disk Benchmark
Many enthusiasts are familiar with the Finalwire AIDA64 benchmark suite (formerly Lavalys EVEREST), but very few are aware of the Disk Benchmark tool available inside the program. The AIDA64 Disk Benchmark performs linear read and write bandwidth tests on each drive, and can be configured to use file chunk sizes up to 1MB (which speeds up testing and minimizes jitter in the waveform). Because of the full sector-by-sector nature of linear testing, Benchmark Reviews endorses this method for testing SSD products, as detailed in our Solid State Drive Benchmark Performance Testing article. However, Hard Disk Drive products suffer a lower average bandwidth as the capacity draws linear read/write speed down into the inner-portion of the disk platter. AIDA64 Disk Benchmark does not require a partition to be present for testing, so all of our benchmarks are completed prior to drive formatting.
Linear disk benchmarks are superior bandwidth speed tools in my opinion, because they scan from the first physical sector to the last. A side affect of many linear write-performance test tools is that the data is erased as it writes to every sector on the drive. Normally this isn't an issue, but it has been shown that partition table alignment will occasionally play a role in overall SSD performance (HDDs don't suffer this problem).
The high-performance storage products we've tested with Lavalys AIDA64 Disk Benchmark are connected to the Intel P67-Express SATA 6Gb/s controller and use a 1MB block size option. Charted above, read performance on the 240GB SanDisk Extreme II solid state drive measured average speeds of 510.3 MB/s with a relatively close maximum peak speed of 517.2 MB/s. These read results are among the highest we've ever tested from any SATA device, and remained very consistent across the full range of capacity. AIDA64 linear write-to tests were next…
The waveform chart below illustrates how well the SanDisk Extreme II manages file transfers, and makes linear write performance appears relatively uneven. The results seen here are consistent with most other SSD products we've tested in the past that use a DRAM cache buffer. The 240GB SanDisk Extreme II solid state drive recorded an average linear write-to speed of 466.8 MB/s, with maximum performance reaching 475.9 MB/s.
The SanDisk Extreme II SSD was finally able to outshine the competition with impressive as the read/write performance results, surpassing nearly all other SSDs except the Intel SSD 520 series.
The chart below shows the average linear read and write bandwidth speeds for a cross-section of storage devices tested with EVEREST:
Linear tests are an important tool for comparing bandwidth speed between storage products – although HDD products suffer performance degradation over the span of their areal storage capacity. Linear bandwidth certainly benefits the Solid State Drive, since there's very little fluctuation in transfer speed. This is because Hard Disk Drive products decline in performance as the spindle reaches the inner-most sectors on the magnetic platter, away from the fast outer edge.
In the next section we use PCMark Vantage to test real-world performance…

Springs Transmissions customer cars sold to scrap metal yard, destroyed
New trouble for embattled auto shop
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Embattled auto shop Springs Transmissions and Automotive is in more trouble after customer cars were sold to a scrap metal yard and destroyed.
Shop owner Greg Ehnes is already accused of fraud and lying to police in two separate cases. Ehnes confirmed to TARGET 13 Investigates Friday that at least three of his customers' cars ended up at Western Scrap Processing.
"I'm very upset," Ehnes said. "I'm in the headlights with the police department anyway, and then I learn this."
Ehnes claims a former employee was supposed to tow several cars owned by Springs Transmissions to the scrap metal yard, but that the man took customer vehicles too.
TARGET 13 asked Ehnes if he took responsibility because the cars were in his care.
"I definitely feel responsible," Ehnes said.
Colorado Springs Police said financial crimes detectives are investigating nine cars sold to Western Scrap Processing. The general manager of the yard, Joe Yost, said he ran the VIN numbers for the cars and realized one was stolen. He said that's what prompted the police investigation.
The vehicles were crushed and stacked by a crane, but now sit lined up on the lot.
TARGET 13 talked to one woman whose white BMW was destroyed.
"I'm shocked," said Linda Gran. "My father had given it to me. It was a special vehicle."
Gran said she's gotten car repairs from Ehnes for almost three decades, and knows him as honest and reliable.
"It's hard for me to believe that he personally would have ordered that car to be taken to the scrap yard," said Gran. "It just seems to me someone else was involved in the removal of the car from Springs Transmissions and took it down there."
Some customers rushed to Springs Transmissions after hearing news reports of the destroyed cars.
"We were lucky to find a car here," said Donna Cox. "With that many cars going to the scrap yard, of course we thought it would be ours."
Cox said her car has been in and out of Springs Transmissions for eight months. She said she plans to find a new place to get her repairs done.
Ehnes said he believes he was targeted, not only by an employee, but by other thieves. He said six to seven cars are missing from his lot. He said people have broken into his gate and that police did not lock the shop when they raided it last week.
Ehnes claims he is going to make it right with those who lost their cars.
"Reimburse them," he said. "I'll have to. It's only right."
Colorado Springs police detectives are now trying to figure out who is at fault for the destroyed cars and what charges they'll face.

A wealthy, highly privileged class of modern Capitalists. Typically composed of businessmen and others who derive their income from the labor of others. Known to take pride in affluence, spending heavily on luxuries. Usually conservative and/or opposed to government taxation or other policies that are unfavorable to their profit flow.

Another word for 'new money'. The real bourgeoisie were more middle class than new money, but the divide that separated the serfs from the bourgeoisie, nobility, clergy and royals was very large.
In pre-revolutionary France, the bourgeoisie were the lawyers and accountants, working for the aristocracy, clergy and monarch.
by kung-fu jesus September 29, 2004
A class of wealthy Capitalists. Many of those within the bourgeoisie are convinced that they are better than people who differ from them, which is bullshit because no-one is better than anyone else.
If you think you are better than other people just because you have wealth, you do not deserve that wealth whatsoever and I hope you lose it for being so arrogant. You make other people feel bad, and the majority of homeless people actually deserve what you have because they are less horrible than you.

Buffy i made the comment about the 49ers as an example to support a main point. "Rodgers has averaged better numbers than eli in the playoffs and the packers defense has given up more points than the giants defense in the playoffs"
Whats your counter argument for that?
Don't take it personal, we're just debating.
~Big Mike~
As for great-to-All Time-great QBs who never won a SB, there's Marino, Kelly, Moon, Fouts, Tarkenton, and.........? Out of how many starting QBs of the past 47 years--1000? more? Exceptions in my book.
Personally, I liked Johnson because of his journeyman ability to improve somewhat the various teams he played on, and was happy for him to be in the Tampa Bay SB win. But I never thought of him as being on the same level as other SB QB greats (which you didn't claim otherwise, I'm just saying). Hoss was good enough to flourish in those 5 games he started to complete the Giants 90 season. And, like all Giants fans, I was thrilled that was the case. But he didn't exactly continue that achievement the following year for the Giants or the Raiders.
Flacco is different from all the other "exceptions", in my mind. It's still early in his career. Like most non-Ravens fans, at least, I've not been wowed by Flacco up to now. However, He has led (along with Rice, and an up and down -- for the Ravens -- defense) his team to the post season and won at least 1 post season game every season he's been in the league. I believe that's an NFL record, and has to be given at least some credit. But he did step up his game a few notches this season, which was decent but not yet thrilling--until the post season. I was impressed with the next level he seemed to achieve throughout the last 4-5 games he played. His story is obviously still very incomplete, and while I don't yet place him in the same category as the other active QBs who've won SBs the last decade, he is on the rise. Remains to be seen what he does from now on. He does not deserve to be consigned to the Dilfer and McMahon category.
Thing about Rodgers / Brady / Peyton comparisons, I've never seen a post comparing them that qualifies "their first 5 seasons", as you claim is the norm in these debates. And if you do make those comparisons, do you compare their respective first 5 years in the league, or their first 5 seasons as a starter?
Either way you want to count it, Brady led his team to 3 SB victories his first 5 years in the league (first 4 as starter). And he accomplished that with virtually no-name receivers (certainly no Jennings-caliber WR), virtually no running game except for the 3rd SB. And he accomplished that feat in the era of salary cap. Different WR corps each year. First SB win with a team 5 years removed from a SB appearance, whereas Rodgers' first--and only-- SB appearance was with a team 3 years removed from the NFC Championship.
So both Rodgers and Brady inherited teams that were already at "contender level" of readiness to take the next step. Peyton, of course, took over a pure crap team that was still searching for an identity that was lost by them 20 years before.
Sure, it's easy to say you'd start a team with a QB who's years younger, started only 5 seasons vs 12 (or 15 seasons) of 2 other HOF-ready QBs, but that's an artificial assumption for quality comparison purposes.
Take Rodgers. He's good. But after 5 seasons as starting QB--to make a sensible comparison--I'd still take Brady (followed by Peyton because he's the modern day gold standard of NFL QB) before Rodgers. And I don't have the man-crush on Brady that many here have on Rodgers. Just respect for the QB he is.
I already stated it and it is obvious. Playing against different teams with different personnel is going to cause different points scored, points given up, game planning, etc.........etc.......... In the game against Arizona for example, it was a stupid game plan. Green Bay's coaching staff should have known that Aaron Rodgers wasn't gonna win in a shoot out, in the playoffs against Kurt Warner. Our regular season finale against NE Patriots and SuperBowl XLII were two different types of games by us. The game planning had to be different. Our defense isn't going to stop NE Patriots offense in a fast tempo game and Eli Manning isn't going to win a shoot out against Tom Brady. So, we adjusted the game plan and our offense set the tone for the game from the beginning.

RB DuJuan Harris in process of getting a second opinion on his knee. Couldn't tell you right now how serious
Rob Gronkowski has been running for a while now. That the Pats put him in view of the media today is interesting.
At Monday's practice, rookie Montee Ball was promoted onto the first-team offense with Peyton Manning
NFL suspended Vikings FB Jerome Felton three games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Felton was arrested for DUI last summer. His Week 1 status was already in some doubt due to an emergency appendectomy, so at least the brief ban will give Felton an opportunity to be 100-percent healthy upon his return. Felton earned Pro Bowl honors in 2012, clearing lanes in front of NFL leading rusher Adrian Peterson.
Suspended Vikings FB Jerome Felton is lead blocker for Adrian Peterson so that is a damaging loss for Minnesota's best player
if AP isn't the same the first few weeks, make a move for him from a disgruntled owner who is thinking "I knew I should have taken Martin"
DeMarco Murray got the message loud and clear after being benched over fumble but "highly doubts" Tony Romo would get pulled after one int
I dont think murray will be the guy by the end of the year...too much attitude for a guy who hasn't ever done shit
Who would you rather own Ballard or J. Bell?
According to FOX Sports Wisconsin, Jordy Nelson "didn't seem slowed whatsoever" in his return to practice following a knee scope.
Nelson beat double coverage for an 85-yard touchdown pass, which got Aaron Rodgers excited. "He had to go about 50 yards to get that deep one in the air across the field," Rodgers said. "So it was fun to see him run that one down." Nelson should be treated as if he were never injured. He's an ideal WR2.
Coach John Fox said Montee Ball was moved to the first-team offense at Monday's practice because the Broncos want to give him a longer look with the starters.
Ball has taken 25 percent of the first-team reps since OTAs, but on Monday -- Denver's first practice after Ronnie Hillman's third preseason fumble -- Ball was the go-to back with Peyton Manning's group. "We're evaluating everybody regardless of who gets what reps at what number," said Fox. "So, (Ball) is a guy that we want to get some touches and we'll go from there." Ball is on track to get the nominal "start" and handle 15-plus touches in Week 1 against the Ravens.
Wes Welker (ankle) has resumed practicing fully at Broncos camp.
NFL suspended Jets RB Mike Goodson four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The suspension is for Goodson's highly publicized May arrest. The Jets should consider it a positive they'll have Goodson's services at all after he was AWOL for all of training camp for unspecified reasons. Look for Chris Ivory to open the season as New York's primary early-down back, with Bilal Powell mixing in as a change-of-pace complement and passing-down player. When Goodson returns, he'll compete in practice for offensive snaps.
Got him in the 8th. Steal
@jasonjwilde: DuJuan Harris going on IR.
Real tough call to make on Lacy. Lots of potential but also lots of injuries. Only 2 yrs w/ 200+ carries in his last 7 (going back to HS).

The next photo is an outdoor shot where Christina braves being seen and snapped by paparazzi. But you can't keep a slut clothed when she wants to show the world what she's got. While she seems a bit wary of public nudity in that one, a shot of her stepping out of of a van, taking her sweater off, striking a pose naked while her hair catches some ray of light from the setting sun in the background. I'm glad we have these naked pics of Christina Ricci to fulfill our carnal desires. I'm glad I found these, as they will definitely provide me with hours of jack-off material, like the other stuff you'll find in Christina Ricci Nude, where Hollywood's hottest former child star gets down and dirty.
