Eventually most people wonder why their internet is again trickling packets at the speed of a 1950's move plot. The unfortunate downside of internet connectivity slowdowns gets the best of us at times.
Sometimes it is our provider at fault, other times it is our provider's upstream at fault.
As an end customer you need to determine these shortcomings yourself when seeking support help. The usual customer support routine often involves multiple reboots of your modem and lots of wasted time. The process leaves a lot to be desired. If you are having a problem with a VPS or dedicated server the problems can be much more difficult to debug and resolve.
So let's learn how to debug your slow internet connectivity problem a bit with a simple speed test site and tool for those running Linux.
#1 Know your Package Speeds
Every home internet package includes at least two speeds indicating the maximum throughput your service has been provisioned to achieve. Similarly, a VPS or dedicated server will have some sort of bandwidth speed promise. With home internet one speed will be the upload speed, or how fast you can send data from your computer up to the internet. The other speed will be your download speed, or how fast you can get data from the internet down to your computer.
Usually the download speed is much faster than the upload speed.
Look at your internet service details from your monthly invoice and see what package you have and what the advertised speeds are.
#2 Run Multiple Online Speed Tests
You want to get most of your advertised internet throughput speeds. It is not reasonable to achieve or exceed advertised speeds for any extended duration.
The most popular speed test site online remains Speedtest.net. Their site requires Adobe Flash to perform tests in your browser. They have Apps available for the most common mobile platforms: http://www.speedtest.net/mobile.
Perhaps you are a Linux user, or dislike Flash, or want to test your VPS or other non-graphic based server?
Sivel has wrote a Python based tool that quick and simple and uses Speedtest.net's testing points. The tool is called, speedtest-cli [link: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli].
(This tool will work in any environment where Python is or can be installed)
In Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives:
Become root:
apt-get install python
wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py chmod +x speedtest-cli
To run speedtest-cli:
How do your speeds look? Seem slow? Run the test several times and over several hours if possible to rule out LAN traffic or intermittent blips.
Still slow? Time to contact your ISP then.
#3 Contact Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
When contacting your ISP or hosting provider about slow speeds you should have your speedtest-cli output on hand. Show them the test location used (which is automatically picked from a nearby test location), and throughput achieved which should help them debug problems. They might ask you to perform other tests to other network test points. If so see how to do that below.
It's that simple to get started debugging issues with slow throughput. There are a multitude of issues that contribute to slow connectivity. These include hardware misconfiguration, bad physical connections, bad software settings, etc.
Speedtest-cli has some additional features that might prove helpful.
List all the active testing locations:
./speedtest-cli –list | more
Select a specific testing point to perform a test with:
./speedtest-cli –server 1344

- - Is my rudder OK? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/8848-my-rudder-ok.html)
Is my rudder OK?
This may be a really stupid post, but I would prefer to be safe than sorry.
I have a 1985 Beneteau Idylle 10.5 moored in Sydney Harbour. Yesterday as I was about to leave the boat, I noticed a broken nylon strap wedged up high at the back of the rudder, between it and the hull.
I pulled it out initially thinking it was just a piece of flotsam, but because of its size I have started to wonder if it was actually a component of the rudder system.
It isn''t easy to describe, but it was band of white nylon a little under 1/2 inch wide with a joining piece that made the whole thing form a circle of about 5 inches in diameter. That is just about the size of the top part of the rudder.
I have no first hand knowledge of the components of the rudder system and that''s why I''m a little nervous. I have looked for diagrams on the net to no avail and unfortunately, I''ve misplaced the offending item and can''t show it to anbody. My boatyard people haven''t been of much assistance, even though they have serviced the rudder in the past.
I would appreciate any assistance that people may be able to offer. I''ll be happy to be told that it was just a piece of rubbish that I have picked up.
Also, can anyone recommend a book that will give a good generic overview of the various mechanical (and possibly electrical) systems on a boat. It is obvious from the fact that I needed to make this post in the first place, that I need to know a lot more about ny boat.
Thanks in adcance,
Is my rudder OK?
It is a little hard to tell what you have found based on your description. A lot of boats have a delrin or teflon impregnated nylon washer that fits around the rudder post and acts as a bushing between the top of the rudder and the hull of the boat. On the other hand this might have been an admission strap from a recent rock concert.
I like Nigel Calders books for a general overview of yacht systems.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
I often feel like I should have more to say about the state of modern American conservatism than "They're nuts." We can do better than that, right?
But then I read something like this. And what can you say other than, "They're nuts"? What's more, it's getting worse. David Frum is trying valiantly, but there really needs to be more adult intervention than just him.

Hi all.
For as long as I can remember starting running I've had tight hamstrings, but not to the extent of getting any discomfort. I started stretching regularly in February and I've still had barely any improvement. My left hamstring is tighter (by this I mean it can't bend back as far as my right). I've tried massage, foam rolling and all sorts. I presume this could be contributing to my back pain (mostly upper but also middle and lower)?
Any other ideas as to why they're staying so tight? I've been pretty inactive the past year and I'm just coming back to running and cycling now so keen to get them sussed.
I had a tight hamstring on and off for years. I finally cured it by making sure my glutes and piriformis were both stretched and strengthened. Doing this put everything back in its proper place and took pressure off a nerve that was causing the sensation of tightness. I couldn't do a straight leg swing above waist height without fear of falling over. Now a leg swing at head height is no problem. The best stretch I found, which you can see all over t'internet is often called the figure 4 ie sit on a chair with the ankle of the injured leg on top of the knee of the other leg. With a straight back lean forward feeling the stretch through the glute. Morning and evening for a couple of weeks should see a big improvement. As for strengthening I used Pilates exercises mainly single leg squats 3 x 12 each day.
My right hamstrings are much tighter than the left. This has been the case for years. I have done the usual things, been referred to NHS Biomechanics Consultant, see private physios, stretch & strengthen etc. Never got to the root cause yet, but usually receive differing opinions, e.g. due to calf issues, hip issues, lower back issues. I work around it, but the big issue for me is speedwork. This week I have tweeked the right one once again even after lots of warm up and stretching. My hamstrings were like this before I started running.
Dear Alex,
When you say you have left hamstring tightness, does that mean that you just in general feel more of a stretch/strain on your left side when you are running - is this based on a hamstring flexibility test - or do you get pain? Hamstring pain can actually be referred from you lower back and sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) - and may not be caused by your actual hamstring. Especially if you have tried stretching out your hamstring ( I presume very rigorously, everyday, and correctly ) without any improvement in your symptoms, I would assume then that your tightness or pain is originating from somewhere else. Low back pain has been shown in the literature to be highly correlated with tight hamstrings as well - so yes they most definitely could be related. Your hamstrings attach proximally to your ischial tuberosity, which is located on your pelvis. If you think about it, if your hamstrings are too tight, they are going to pull on your pelvis and disrupt its alignment, which will have an effect on your vertebral column, muscle attachments in your lower back, and nervous system. If you are getting pins and needles or shooting pain down the back of your legs, those are signs correlated with neurological dysfunction.
The real question, is what is the root cause to your problem, and what caused it to start in the first place? I recommend going to see a physiotherapist to assess your injury. You may want to try using a tennis ball in your gluteus region to release the muscles in that area ( trigger pointing) - as well some basic strengthening of your hips and core may be of some benefit. For some reason, the gluteus maximus muscles sometimes become inhibited, which basically means they stop firing. Your hamstrings - thinking its being clever, will take over and do it's job as well as function for your gluteus maximus. This can create problems in muscle activation, overuse of your hamstrings, as well as tightness to occur. A good way to assess your glut strength is to try doing a single leg squat ( in front of a mirror) - if your knee dives into the middle, then you know your glutes are not working properly.
More information on running injuries can be found on Run3D's website under 'injury info' at www.run3d.co.uk.
Best of luck!

2016 ONC 18U graduate Bennett Smith will set out to defend the OUA championship, signing for his second season with the Mustangs of the University of Western Ontario. Congratulations Ben!
Congratulations to ONC 18U players Connor Jones and Dan Maguire on committing to the Durham College Lords, and Zach Lindgren heading into his second season with the Ottawa University GGs…
Congratulations to 2016 ONC veterans Matt Wagner, Jon Milks and Ryan Mount as they head to Monroe Community College (NJCAA II), Western Oklahoma State College (NJCAA II) and Spokane Falls Community College (NWAC) respectively in September.
ONC makes important changes to our 2017 programs and player selection process.
2017 player selection for all levels (15U, 16U, 18U) will commence in the fall of 2016. Try outs will begin late August with player selection being finalized in September.
Teams will begin preparing for the 2017 season with a 2016 fall program that will include a balance of team practices and competitive games. Team workouts will continue with an indoor winter program commencing in January 2017.
ONC fall and winter programs will be for selected team players only, and will no longer be open to non-ONC players.
Tryouts for the 2017 season will commence August 23, details and registration information can be found here
The Ottawa Nepean Canadians announce that Matt Dubord will be taking on the role of 18U Manager, and Mike Tokessy moves into the role of 16U Manager for 2017.
It is with pleasure we announce the addition Brad Fairholm as our 15U Manager for the 2017 season. Brad has been coaching baseball in the Ottawa area since 2005, including coaching Little League District 6 Championship teams at the Minor, Major and Junior levels, as well as OBA AAA. Brad earned a scholarship to Lynn University where he was a four-year letter winner from 1989-1992, and was just the second baseball player ever elected to Lynn's Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. In 1991, he set a school record and led NAIA District 25 in hitting average and stolen bases, earning Team MVP and NAIA All-Star honors. He was also a runner-up as the NAIA District 25 Player of the Year. He brings infectious enthusiasm to the ballpark and will complement the rest of our staff in developing young players, and young men, and in growing baseball in the Ottawa area.
After being on-field with ONC for 6 seasons, the last 3 as the 18U manager, Tanner Watson hands over the 18U reins to Matt with full confidence in him, as well as the rest of the ONC staff . Tanner will remain as a member of the ONC organization, and will continue to help develop our programs and players.
For further information on our Managers, and all ONC staff, see here
A great weekend of baseball saw all three teams successful in the PBLO playoffs, with the 15U team taking the 15U PBLO Championship, the 16U going to the finals, and 18U to the semi-finals.
A 3-2 win over the 15U Royals captured the 15U PBLO championship after wins against all their pool opponents. Dave Legault was the difference offensively scoring two runs on passed balls with excellent base running. He was 2/3 with a single and a double. Joe Toms pitched a complete game to pick up the win. Toms showed great composure on the mound battling through a couple of tough innings giving up 2 runs (1ER), 5 hits, 4k, and walking one(HBP).
The 16U team faced a strong Windsor team in the finals, and fell short despite a solid effort. Their first meeting against the Selects, who finished first in league play (16-1), was in brackets where Ken Nguyen struck out 10 while only allowing 2 hits for a complete game 4-0 win to propel the team to the finals.
18U finish their PBLO season with a 1-0 semi-final loss to the Ontario Royals. ONC carried the momentum they gained in a sweep of their final regular season series into the PBLO playoffs. They advanced to the crossover semi-final matching up with the eventual PBLO playoff champion Ontario Royals. In a classic pitcher's duel and defensive battle, the home team Royals scored the only run of the game, with a 2 out single in the bottom of the 7th to win 1-0.

Reactivities of aluminium and aluminium-magnesium alloy powders in polymeric composites

Polymeric compositions containing Al-Mg alloys show higher reactivities, in comparison with similar compositions containing aluminium. This is observed irrespective of the amount of oxidizer, type of oxidizer used, type of polymeric binder, and over a range of the particle sizes of the metal additive. This is evident from the higher calorimetric values obtained for compositions containing the alloy, in comparison to samples containing aluminium. Analysis of the combustion residue shows the increase in calorimetric value to be due to the greater extent of oxidation of the alloy. The interaction between the polymeric binder and the alloy was studied by coating the metal particles with the polymer by a coacervation technique. On ageing in the presence of ammonium perchlorate, cracking of the polymer coating on the alloy was noticed. This was deduced from differential thermal analysis experiments, and confirmed by scanning electron microscopic observations. The increase in stiffness of the coating, leading to cracking, has been traced to the cross-linking of the polymer by magnesium.

Blog #24 10/21/10 Wildlife and barges in the river
Another visitor to the Charles River was spotted numerous times over the past week - a harbor seal. We've seen him/her several times as have many other folks at MIT and the Duck Tours. I spoke with the NE Aquarium (as have others) and yes the seal probably belongs on the other side of the locks. This isn't the first seal to wander up river from the locks and hopefully it will find it's way back out to the harbor soon on it's own. In the meantime the NE Aquarium is aware of the seal and is monitoring the situation to see if they will attempt to capture and remove it to where it more properly belongs.
Now onto barges. The demolition/construction barge/crane has arrived and is parked alongside CBI's docks. The barge arrived today only a couple of hours after the official "ground breaking" for the dock project, where Secretary Ian Bowles, having received extensive training by your truly, fired CBI's world famous signalling canon to initiate the demolition of the dock. The canon's mighty bang was awesome and thunderous, a show of explosive force, truly terrible and magnificent all at the same time. After the smoke had cleared, and the smell of gun powder lingered briefly, the windsurfing shed met it's demise at the hands of a large tractor. As you may realize by now, all this is to say, in as long winded a way as possible, that the dock demolition has begun in earnest. We've shifted the web cam (http://www.blogger.com/cbi-weather) to face down the dock so you can watch the progress of the project online.
Here's a picture of the barge and crane today.
Tomorrow I'll review the status of the project and the financial support from both the state and private partners which are making the new docks a reality.

Congralutations to you Charlie and to the entire CBI community for making the case and getting your dock. Wish I could have been with you this morning on the old dock but I had a new bridge to sell. We were glad to be there at the very beginning a few years ago to get the ball rolling and expect to be there next summer to go for a sail from the brand spanking new CBI dock. Again, congratulations to all.ReplyDelete

Best Of :: Food & Drink
It should come as no surprise that Sabor Latino makes the best chips and salsa in town. After all, tortilla chips are the french fries, the bar peanuts, the potato chips of the Southwestern world, and Sabor Latino is Denver's best bulk purveyor of all things Central and South American. This comfortable, quaint neighborhood restaurant does excellent arepas, it does wonderful fish ceviche, it does commendable burritos and tamales and Caribbean platters that you won't find anywhere else. But when we settle into one of the intimate booths, the first thing we look for is the great plate of fresh chips served with a thin, dark, spicy salsa that's more like tomato water and black-bean puree than a standard salsa, but also incredibly addictive.
The very name "Chocolove" sounds like the title of a bad '70s blaxploitation flick. This chocolate is embarrassing to buy, tough to develop a taste for, and every bar comes wrapped with a love poem that's almost unforgivably cheesy. But still, we've got nothing but love for what's coming off the small-batch production line at this Boulder-based company, which reflects founder Tom Moley's dedication to sourcing the best international cocoa and combining it in surprising ways. It may not have been love at first bite, but it was close -- and now we're committed to Chocolove's dark chocolate and candied ginger bar.
Big John doesn't cook at Elway's. Although this Cherry Creek steakhouse boasts Elway's larger-than-life name over its larger-than-life doors, John isn't flipping your burgers, grilling your steaks, assembling your s'mores or bringing your order to the table. Those tasks fall to the excellent kitchen crew and floor staff overseen by manager extraordinaire Tom Moxcey, who works hard to translate Elway's vision for the masses. And while Elway may sign a few autographs when he stops in for a drink, the real draw here is the food: In a city constantly struggling to slough off its meat-and-potatoes reputation, Elway's has not only returned some value to our classic cowtown image, but it's also made the steakhouse model fun again. Score!
There was a time when the West was a new frontier where anything was possible and everything was for sale. It was a time of risk-taking and big gambles, of catastrophe and payoff. And though venture capitalists have taken the place of cowboys, and captains of industry now live where cattle barons once kept their herds, that Wild West spirit is still alive at Vesta Dipping Grill, where chef Matt Selby keeps showing that any damn fool idea can work, and that sometimes, any damn fool idea will. The "dipping grill" concept (prepared meats and seafoods, served with a choice of thirty or more sauces) was both innovative and brilliant when he and Josh Wolkon launched Vesta a decade ago, and both descriptions still apply. The concept (often copied, almost never well) has been kept fresh by constant tinkering with both menu and preparation, and rewarded by a posse of wildly loyal fans.
Over the past seventy-odd years, few modern influences have slipped into Bonnie Brae Tavern to mess up the place. Since they opened the onetime roadhouse right across the street from the headquarters of the Denver Temperance League in 1934, members of the Dire family may have slapped on a few coats of paint and changed some menu items, but otherwise they've left well enough alone. And so today the restaurant is like a culinary time capsule under the submarine glow of lights that have been shining down on the same tables and turquoise vinyl booths, the same beer signs and aging regulars, for generations. The food is American Classic -- pot roasts and T-bones, mac-and-cheese and burgers and fries -- but with a twist: Bonnie Brae was one of the first spots in town to offer pizza, back when the dish was still an exotic novelty rather than a trite American mainstay. Don't mess with success.
"New American" has come to mean many things. The words are applied to cuisines as varied as the obsessive food geekery of Thomas Keller at the French Laundry, the chem-lab weirdness of molecular gastronomy, and the burgers-and-beer rosters of a thousand neighborhood taverns daring enough to use leaf lettuce rather than iceberg. But what New American really means is a menu written by a chef informed by all of this but not constrained by it; a chef who understands the influences of French and Asian and Mexican and Italian immigrant flavors on American cookery, but is not limited by canonical recitation. New American means America as it is today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. And in Denver, the best definition of New American is offered by Tyler Wiard at Mel's. His ever-changing menu is a season-by-season accounting of what America tastes like and America's tastes.

The Girl In The PhotographMature
"I LOST 5 POUNDSSSSSS!", Thea shouted inside my room as she stepped on my weighing scale.
"Good for you!" I said as I was searching for clothes inside my closet. Summer is already over, and school starts tomorrow. So we help each other out in choosing outfits to wear for the first day of school. Typical girl stuff.
"How 'bout you? Come on! Step on it!" Thea dragged me towards the weighing scale, since I didn't want to see my weight. I might have gained weight rather than lose some.
I stepped on the scale looking straight on the wall as Thea watched the numbers increase.
"HEY. Not bad! You lost about.... 3 pounds!"
"WHAT?! Only 3?!"
"Well, what do you expect? You and Jeff keep on having dates", she teased as she looked outside of my window looking over at their apartment.
"WE NEVER HAD A DATE, okay? We've been through this!"
"Yeah, whatever. So... does it bother you that they just live a few steps away from your house? You know he might be watching you every time you go outside or something. Maybe even uses binoculars!"
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! That is.. way creepy! He's not as crazy as you."
"You'll never know. Hey, why did they move again?"
"They have some problem with the loan for their house. You know, financial stuff. But don't worry, they'll get their house back", I said feeling nervous, since I wasn't really sure that they would. I couldn't really keep Jeff's secret now since all of us knew that he moved houses.
"That sucks, huh?"
"Yeah... I know."
"Good thing you're helping him out!" I looked back at her, trying to look if she was hiding some hidden meaning from what she just said. "Hahahahhahaha! I know you guys spend a lot of time together now, okay? Don't hide it from me."
Thea was silent, but she kept looking at me, smiling. She looked like she wanted to say something, but tried hard not to. But, after a few seconds she spoke. ".....oooooh Leena!!! I'm sorry, but I really hope you guys get together! We all do!"
"WHAT?! You all do?"
"YEAH! Aries, Zander, and even my brother! But when I talk to him about you guys he doesn't talk a lot. He's a little quiet than usual. Weird. But.... ughhhh! Can't you guys just be together already? We can feel the tension between you guys every time we hang out!"
"THEA. PLEASE. STOP. Stop it, okay? I told you, we can't. Yes, I do like him. But, no!" I shouted since there was no one else in my house than the two of us. "And I don't want to talk about it anymore, okay?"
"Okay. Fine. But... do you think he has a girlfriend?"
"What? Well... no. I don't think so...?" Then suddenly, I realized that there could be a possibility that he has one, especially since I saw his face when I asked him about the photo collage of his friends, and I saw this one photo big photo where he was with a girl.
"Yeah, I guess. I mean, If he had one, he could've told us by now, right?"
"True. Maybe your brother knows. Don't you hear anything from him?"
"No. When Jeff comes in our house, they lock themselves in his room."
"Oh. Oh well."
"It bothers you, huh?" She said with a sneaky grin.
"NO. I told you, I don't want to talk about it anymore. I hate talking about this stuff. NOW, back to business. Pants, plaid blouse, tank top and Keds? Or, pants, my Beatles tee and doll shoes?"
"You sure you don't want to wear a skirt?" I gave her an angry look. I never liked wearing skirts in school. So much effort. ".. okay, that's a no. Plaid blouse! But that's a nice Beatles shirt though. Where'd you get it?"
".......he gave it to me." I said, whispering.
"What?" Thea sounded confused, probably because she didn't understand what I was saying.
"... he gave it to me!"
"OH. MY. GOD. Seriously?"
"Mhhhmmm. So, what are you gonna wear?"
She looked disappointed since I changed the subject. "Well, skirt, crop top and then Keds."
My eyes widened. Is she serious? "Are you serious?!"
"YUP. Gotta boost up your confidence, bro! .... Oh hey! Is that my brother?!" She shouted as she looked through the window. I looked outside and I saw John walking towards the apartment.
"Oh yeah. What's he gonna do?" Then suddenly, I realized behind him was a tall blonde girl wearing a very pretty summer dress and heels. "... And who's that?"
Thea was speechless too. "... yeah. Who is that?"
"Does your brother have a girlfriend or something?"
"Not that I know of." We both stared outside looking at them, both clueless of what was going on. We watched them go straight towards the door. As it opened, we saw Aunt Manna greeting them and let them in. The girl walked inside first, and as John went inside, he looked back towards us, towards our house. Thea and I both stepped back immediately.
"Oops. Do you thing he saw us?!" Thea said while she looked like she was panicking.
"I don't think so. I hope not. We'd look like spies or something. The struggle of living right across each other ey?"
"Do you recognize her or something? Because I don't."
I stayed quiet for a moment, searching and thinking about all the blonde girls I knew at school or at the neighborhood or some other place. She did look a little familiar. Maybe she was... she looked like....
"Well? Do you know her?" Thea asked me again, since I didn't answer her the first time. I just looked straight outside the window.
... she looks like the girl! The girl in the photograph, I think? Yeah.... she looks a lot like her, I guess? Hundreds of thoughts and ideas went scrambling inside my head now, but I didn't want Thea to know. I didn't want to jump into any conclusions. "No. No, I don't recognize her from anywhere."
"Hmm, weird. I'll just ask John later."

State Police shows off suspicious activity app
BATON ROUGE - Louisiana State Police showed off a free app today designed to let people quickly report suspicious activity using their phones.
The "See Something, Send Something" app is part of a initiative between intelligence centers across the U. S. People can take pictures of suspicious activity they see, then send it with a short text message through the app directly to investigators.
"It allows the citizens to interact with the police, and it's only a click away," said State Police Superintendent Colonel Mike Edmonson. "This is something that you use as you're strolling through an area, such as a mall. You're in your vehicle, you're out visiting somewhere, and you think 'Wow, that doesn't look right.'"
The tips go to a Fusion Center where workers sift through them, then send the information to authorities. Pictures that are sent have built-in geotracking that will pinpoint where the tips are coming from, so the correct agencies can get the information they need.
Investigators say cell phone pictures and tips played a major part in identifying the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Authorities in Louisiana hope this app will help the public step in before something like that could ever happen here.
"We all know how important information from the public can be during a crisis," said GOHSEP Director Kevin Davis. "This app will help someone give emergency personnel the information they need during a time when every minute could be critical."
News 2's Olivia Laborde will have more on how the app works and how authorities use the information once it's submitted tonight at 5 and 6 p.m.

Plenty of children in theatre are played by 25-year-old actors trying to look naive.
It was refreshing, then, to see seven actual children performing David Harradine and Sam Butler's devised play, which discusses what it is and feels like to be old.
The four boys and three girls, aged seven to 13, utterly enchanted their audience as they sat in a row trotting out the wisdom of their great age and experience. Coming from the mouths of babes, tropes about good skincare, slippers and feeling 17 but looking 75 were very funny.
Theo Peters, the youngest and smallest, drew gasps and coos by his mere presence. All the performances were strong, but a cheeky Madeleine Jones (10) had the funniest lines and Georgie Barnes (11) was unselfconsciously entertaining.
Although carefully put together, the dialogue felt largely unscripted. At various points things went wrong – a microphone got knocked over, a picture frame fell off – but they carried it off, adlibbing charmingly.
As the performance progressed, the minimalist set became littered with the detritus of the decades of life they were describing. Old televisions, rocking horses, records, worn carpets, a hat stand – paraphernalia that usually ends up in the attic took over the formerly white space and left it in chaos.
At points the children stopped talking and picked their way through the objects, absorbing themselves in playing. This seemed designed to give the audience time to reflect on their own ageing, but it produced a lag in pace which seemed overlong.
The kids were brilliant at supporting each other. At one point the youngest cast member prompted a faltering line. During silences they looked round expectantly at each other to say, "Who's next?"
The play had moments of witty genius and made some lovely statements on the passage of time. Very appropriate for the Young Vic, which turned 40 this year.

Fits perfectly. Great build quality and price.
Does not include expansion tank cap or bleeder screw
BMW cooling systems are known for their weak spots which include the the expansion tank. The expansion tank is subjected to extreme heating and cooling cycles as well as tremendous pressure. It is not uncommon for this expansion tank to fail with age. Usually, leaks will be present before complete failure occurs.
When replacing the expansion tank you will lose coolant. We also suggest ordering BMW coolant to replace the fill that is lost when working on the cooling system.

text: NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The BNY Mellon Classic ADR Index posted an 18% return last year, beating the 16% gain by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of U.S. shares, and reversing a 2011 loss even as overall depositary receipt trading shrank, according to BNY Mellon's year-end report on the DR market. (1) "The outperformance of the Classic ADR Index is significant, given that overall DR trading value dropped in 2012 and U.S. stocks performed well during a year of political wrangling," said Christopher M. Kearns, deputy CEO of BNY Mellon's Depositary Receipts business. "International portfolio diversification through DRs has offered a viable option to many investors, even as geopolitics led to periods of unsettled markets and made companies cautious about committing capital." As the only real-time index to track all ADRs, New York shares and global registered shares traded on the NYSE, NYSE MKT, NASDAQ and over-the-counter, the BNY Mellon Classic ADR Index has become a widely followed international benchmark. Last year, the index gained 18%, reversing a 13% loss in 2011. More broadly, a total 157 billion DRs were traded on the world's markets and exchanges, 10% less than 2011, but higher than the previous two years, while the value of DRs traded shrank 26% to $2.79 trillion. Index GainsThe BNY Mellon Classic ADR Index returns for Europe were up more than 20% last year. Overall, the best-performing country indices were those for Germany, which gained 33%, Australia, which gained more than 25%, followed by China with a 25% rise, France returning 24%, and Switzerland with 22%. According to the year-end report, Oil & Gas sector issuers led all industries in terms of volume with 27 billion DRs traded, 44% more than 2011. In contrast, trading in the Semiconductor and Pharmaceutical sectors were down the most, 41% and 27%, respectively. In terms of trading value, Beverage sector companies outperformed all others with an 18% increase to $80 billion, while the Oil & Gas industry saw a slight increase of slightly more than 1% to $575 billion. According to the Classic ADR Index, the two sectors with the largest percentage returns last year were Financials and Consumer Goods, up 35% and 24%, respectively. The two lowest-performing sectors were Telecommunications and Oil & Gas, gaining less than 3% and less than 1%, respectively.

China Shuangji Cement, Ltd.'s (CSGJ.OB) Zhaoyuan Plant Nears Completion
China Shuangji Cement, Ltd., which controls a network of entities and affiliates that collectively represent one of the People's Republic of China's (PRC) top manufacturers of High-Quality Portland cement, provided a detailed update on the status of its Zhaoyuan Cement Production Facility, which is almost fully equipped and operational.
With current production capacity of 1.5M tons/year deriving from its two production facilities, Hainan Province and Shandong (where the new Zhaoyuan plant is located), a 2.5M tons/year capacity is projected upon the completion of the new facility, located just 5 miles south of the existing Shandong site and directly on a brand-new, high-capacity highway which connects to a majority of the Company's customer base, as well as major ports.
The new facility, located near Zhaoyuan City, has cost CSGJ roughly $3.5M so far, and was undertaken initially due to a Governmental requirement to relocate the original facility – an action which also afforded CSGJ new land use rights near Zhaoyuan, and for which the government has so far forked over $8.5M in additional compensation for development purposes.
With high voltage cabling installed and the majority of the raw building infrastructure in place, final installation of equipment and finishing touches are all that remains before this money-machine is switched on, adding fuel to the ROI engine CSGJ has managed to create in China's construction supply market.
President and Chairman of CSGJ, Mr. Wenji Song, expressed his honor at the continued support of the Company's shareholders during the transition to the new facility, and he was clearly proud of the earned reputation demonstrated by this show of confidence, even through the "challenging global economic landscape" which had threatened to stall the project.
Mr. Wenji Song confidently asserted that funding for the minimal final requirements to bring the plant online would be easily obtained forthwith, and that he was eager to "aggressively expand production" to meet the overwhelming demand currently expressed within the market.
CEO of CSGJ, Mr. Jun Song, echoed the sentiments of his colleague and noted the vast effort toward improving the Company from an overall "compliance and transparency standpoint", citing the October retention of consulting firm and investor relations specialist Hampton Growth, and subsequent shareholder visibility enhancements, like hiring fluent English-speaking CPA Michelle Zhu, who has an MBA from UC Irvine, to fill the Company's CFO position.
Hampton Growth was also instrumental in getting Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP, an independent member of the BDO Seidman Alliance ("B&P"), to audit CSGJ's books, a task which has helped many other Chinese companies migrate from the OTCBB to the NASDAQ or NYSE.
Mr. Jun Song also noted the retention of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP (SRFF), a NY-based securities law firm with 3 Mandarin-fluent attorneys in their Asia group, as legal counsel.

Product description
Every cup for itself... Crack the coffee pleasure code with barista cups! In order for each coffee to reveal its own individuality, it needs enough space. Forming a good quality crema depends on the surface area of the cup, which also affects how long the milk froth remains. Barista cups therefore have the right cup for every speciality coffee, in which the individual taste of the coffee can develop at its best. By elevating it on the saucer and having the right depth, Barista cups have a firm hold. Cream and sugar dispensers as well as chocolate shakers are the perfect additions to the existing WMF Barista collection. These are also joined by a sweetener dispenser and a syrup/honey dispenser. Now each person can refine his or her coffee as they please. The modern pourers make the coffee break a real pleasure by making an impact with their tried-and-tested functionality.
The WMF Barista collection will enhance your coffee break. Much the same as matching glasses for every wine, Barista has the perfect cup for every type of coffee speciality. The form, material thickness, height and diameter determine what beverage you drink from which Barista cup or glass. While the slim, slightly flared rims of the cups are perfect for sipping milk foam, the heavy bases prevent the cup from giving off too much heat. Your coffee stays hot for longer. The creamers, jugs and vessels of the coffee collection have the same distinctive flared shape - however towards the base. Their lustrous silver finish gives them a classic yet modern look.

Improved Vision
I have been gazing for years every since the age of 11. I usually like the sun at 10:30 - 11:00 am for about 10 minutes every other day. I have 20/15 vision. Doctors are amazed how I'm curing myself with this form of treatment, its funny how they tell me to stay away from vitamin D.
I do sun gazing during the last one hour of sun sets. I do it for half hour for almost 15 days. I have read that it helps to open pineal gland. It has improved my eye sight a lot. However, now I am getting lot of itching on my entire body mostly during late evening hours. I really wish to continue sun gazing. I simply love it. I don't know what to do now. Please help

Don't do it if you value your eyesight! Who recommended this to you? Highly irresponsible of them! When I worked in the Middle East for seven years, just going outside during the hot months was like opening the door of an oven. No kidding. You could feel your eyeballs heating up! (And various other parts also). I would strongly advise against staring at the sun- very damaging indeed. Why else would astronomers advise using very dark glasses when looking at a solar eclipse? Strangely enough though, people would look at the sunSET in Muscat but they would never do that in New Zealand! Our light may well be the strongest in the world and the Middle Eastern heat may well be the strongest. Don't stare at the sun is my message to you. It ought to come with a statuary health warning from the Surgeon General.

First guess, it could be lymph moving faster than your body can handle. Add any type of jumping exercise: rebounder, skipping, jump rope, etc.
Start with ten min per day and build to one hour.
A second guess would be from air toxins.
In a bucket, put 20 mule team borax and a few squirts of antibacterial dish soap.
Dissolve this with very hot water. if the borax fully dissolves then add more borax. Some should be undissolved on the bottom of the pail. when cool enough to use, stand in the shower, using a washcloth...wash down every part of your body. do not rinse. put on a bathrobe and let the liquid air dry. you should have some borax all over your body. when dry, the borax easily brushes off. then some people cover their body with glycerin. I did not do the glycerin but the borax alone got rid of the itch.

I have been looking for others that can stare at the sun. I have been doing it for over two years. I can for hours if I wanted too. It has no effect on me. Anytime of the day on any day. I don't know why others can't. I have great sight and doesn't affect me one bit. Come visit me and I will show anyone who don't believe me.
I am in my 60s, I am diabetic for the last 10 years, the point is I started gazing at the sun for about 7-8 years. And every time I visit my eye doctor his amazed that my eye sight has not changed at all in 10 years, he told me on my last visit, that it's amazing that my eye sight has not changed in over 10 years, especially for someone who's 67 and diabetic.
I only gaze at the sun for few seconds at time, I don't gaze for minutes at a time.
Can you explain this to me please. Thank you. Yolanda
Your situation is not uncommon among sungazers, Yolande. I have been doing HRM method sungazing for 12 years now, and have seen major improvements with my eyes. I am also a type 2 diabetic for 25 years and am now 68 years old.
Early in our sungazing both my wife and I threw away our sunglasses because we found we didn't need them any more. Bright sunlight didn't bother us. My night vision for driving, which had declined badly, recovered fully and now I can drive all night if I have to. The vision in my eyes came better by three quarters of a diopter in both eyes. I observed that the floaters in my eyes, which were plentiful before, declined significantly.
I know several people who have thrown away their reading glasses after doing sungazing for a time. My sister in law found that she could do without her glasses entirely even for driving, although her driver's license said she had to wear corrective lenses.
I met one Canadian woman at a sungazing lecture by Hira Ratan Manek in Toronto several years ago. She came up with a white cane as she was legally blind. A few months later I held a little sungazers get together at my house in Toronto and invited the woman, who came with a friend, but minus the white cane. I was quite shocked, but then she said her peripheral vision had improved due to the sungazing and now she could see some blurred shapes, enough for her to avoid bumping into things. Previously she could see nothing at all, only light and darkness. She said she only used the cane in winter because her vision was not sharp enough to detect icy patches on the ground that would cause her to fall, and so had to use the cane to feel out those patches.
As a diabetic I have seen major major advances in my ability to manage my diabetes from the early days and continuing. Before sungazing I had to be very careful with taking my medication on time and eating meals on time. If I missed out by an hour or two either on medicine or meals my eyes would start getting blurry, I would start feeling very uneasy and my hands would start trembling. After a couple years of sungazing and until today, I find I can miss medication or mealtimes by five or six hours and not feel any diabetic symptoms. I can miss medication for an entire day and three or more meals without paying the cost. I have done and can do fasting (no meals at all) for two or three days comfortably, which diabetics normally can't do at all.
You don't have to convince me of the benefits of sungazing, as I've had many other than the eye and diabetes one mentioned above. Best of all, it all free!

San Jose, Ca
I recently started sungazing, and now I am at 7:30. It is doable at this point, it will be impossible to do over 30 minutes in the morning because I work full time, 8:30 to 5 Mon to Fri.
Would it be still effective if I split the sungazing time to sunrise and sunset, for example 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening?
Also, the area I live often gets cloudy in the morning in autumn and winter. If I miss the sun in the morning, would it be OK to do sungazing in the evening?

Increased Energy
Dear Earth Clinic,
I started "drinking" in sunlight immediately after the article of NASA bringing an Indian man for observation. I found it to be very "energizing" immediately! I've been doing it for about 1.5 years now and its just amazing!!!
I do feel that someone has taken the simple truth of the situation and made it much too complex by telling people to walk for 45 minutes after they have reached a 44 minute sun-gazing level. Its as simple as letting the direct sunlight into ones eyes during the first and last hour of each day. Additionally, live barefoot as much as you can for "grounding" of you electrical current. You can take a few minutes out of the process and give the baby a bottle or go to the bathroom......stopping the process temporarily doesn't affect the intake at all. Once your "tank" is full of this amazing energy you can just keep topping off the tank wherever possible. You don't have to do it EVERY morning or evening.
I lay down on a lawn-chair as my legs are quite bad.....so you don't have to stand up barefooted to benefit from taking in the sun's energy!
It makes me want to scream at how some "left-brain" dominant people have made this seem quite complicated.....when its as simple as looking into the sun in the early hours of the morning and the late hours of each day. Then be aware of "grounding" your body by barefooted contact with the earth, the floor of your house or the ocean!
I've eventually combined my "sun-drinking" with a crystal mediation over the 12 chakras at the same time. I place a quartz crystal gemstone over the chakras for just a few minutes in each position while I'm drinking in the sun! At 66, and badly needing 3 major leg operations, I FEEL FANTASTIC!!! Its truly amazing! In a recently re-discovered article interview of Nickola Tesla, he mentions getting energy directly from the sun......but he hadn't discovered "sun-gazing" yet!
ps: drink "kifir/kambucha" too!!!!

I agree that you do not have to slowly add gazing times by 10 seconds a day. I accelerated my gazing very quickly and worked up to a full hour within two months over a dozen sun rises. I only did it at sunrise when the light was safe. I Earth whenever possible, but can't do it daily due to cold weather.
Sun Gazing and UVB
Re: Sun Gazing & UVB, are they long waves or short. Do they do good via the eyeball or are just bad for the skin. I dunno, I am confused. A 1000 years ago I read a book by John Ott – Health & Light which is about – light, sun & artificial. I thought it said that UVB that goes in through the eyeball does bloody good, like make progesterone in menopausal ladies that makes them feel nice. Heaps more in the ebook or a free download on the WWW. BUT in a search for UVB & stem cells - they also do bloody good - heaps spoke about the bad effects of UVA, UVB, & UVC. Because this gets us to sun gazing – not looking at the sun but around it and between 1100 am. & 1300 pm. before & after this time, UVB won't show its face. Too shy I guess. Anyone know? John
Sun Gazing Feedback
Sun Gazing: Is there any artificial lighting that can be used? I've done sun gazing and have had positive results but I'm not going to get 9 mos. of cloud and/or fog free horizon and I can't go to the desert quite yet for that. Anybody know where there are 9 month clear morning horizons or even clear evening horizons?
So Calif
Yes, Southern California.
YES, the coast of Chile from Valparaso to norther border you can sun gaze every day and its a beautiful country .. I Sun gazed for 9 months there cured my Body of very serius problems and was awakened to a whole new life.
I have only recently learned about Sun Gazing practice through your web site and would like to try it, but I have a Vitreous Detachment in my my right eye - would that make it unsafe for me to practice Sun Gazing ?
I live in "Fog City U.S.A."{San Francisco} Ca. Do you know where I might get 9 months of clear morning horizons? I've tried sun gazing and like the results.
Toronto, CA
I have been sun gazing since I was a child, I am now in my 40's. I came across articles about sun gazing recently like it is a new thing and that someone has suddenly invented it, which is not at all the case. I have read some of the other comments about rules and suchlike regarding sun gazing and I personally feel that individuals should research carefully so called "new" methods of healing and health before practicing. However I also agree that the individual must follow their instinct when it comes to these things as there really is no rule or set path to healing, as we are all individuals with our own way. What works for one does not necessarily work for another. I have personally been sun gazing for over 40 years with my eyes closed. That's it. No particular time of day or place and no particular amount of time except when I feel it is time to stop. The sun is a nourishing life giving energetic force, so any moment at any time or place I personally feel is suitable. Healing does not occur in specific places except in our minds and there is no right or wrong way. There is no right or wrong way to connect to the source .. there just is. Healing is healing as long as our intent is there and we follow our instinct along with common sense and plenty of research. Energy will follow thought.
I don't consider it to be sun gazing if you have your eyes closed. I know that can feel good & I use to sun my eyes closed, but the effect from sun gazing with your eyes open takes on a whole different meaning. I've been sun gazing for eleven years.
I learned about sun gazing from an old friend in the 1980s. Every so often I go to the beach before the sun sets and watch it go down, I'd say about 10 minutes total. Like others have said, it is very energizing and produces wonderful and intense dreams. It absolutely affects the pineal gland!! I have no proof of this, but I believe this practice has kept my eyes strong.
Sungazing is really very helpful since as we all know sun contains a lot of energy but it must be done in correct and proper way or else one may suffer eye damage.
Amazing how so many people criticize or condemn something without actually doing it, or researching it! I am a "sun gazer" of FULL sun light! I DO follow HRM's protocol of standing barefoot on DIRT, relaxing my eyes and body, and ONLY looking at the full sun just after it tops the horizon, when there is NO appreciable UV in the sun--this is the KEY! Also, to begin at 5 or 10 SECONDS for the day, until your eyes can withstand looking at the sun without tearing or hurting; THEN and ONLY then can you add more time in 5-10 SECOND intervals!!! It is about THE JOURNEY, not the destination!
People who stare at the sun for unequal amounts of time, at any time of the day, or add 1 or more MINUTES per day are totally missing the point of Sun Gazing!
When I first began Sun Gazing in 2005, I lived on the beach in San Diego, and got up to 25 minutes - I felt the best physically and mentally in years, and had phenomenal physical strength (I was 59 yo). I moved to Colorado, and encountered trees and snow, so I ended my gazing at 30 minutes. My physical and mental health totally deteriorated in Colorado! Artificial light did not "do it" for me! There I was finally diagnosed with lifelong, mis-diagnosed Celiac Disease that has destroyed my ability to absorb B vitamins and lipids from my foods.
6 years later, I have moved to Arizona - the land of the sun - and have started up Sun Gazing again. I had to stay on 5 SECONDS for an entire week until I could add another 5 SECONDS per day! Then I began to add the normal 10 seconds/day, and I am up to 2 minutes of gazing -NOT STARING - into the new sun each morning.
I cannot begin to tell you how "whole" I now feel! My endocrine system is coming back into balance, even at this beginning stage! I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is primarily a disorder of the ADRENAL glands, which severely unbalances the thyroid and sex hormones, the endocrine triad. When it is cloudy, I go outside and practice my gazing, but I do not add more time after - I only add time after finishing the SUN gazing, and ONLY if I feel that I can move on to more time! HRM and others who successfully practice REAL Sun Gazing write and tell, over and over, that it is up to the individual to feel comfortable with this practice, to slowly add 5-10 seconds per day, and to STOP if it does not feel right; that it is a SPIRITUAL practice that will OPEN up a person to using the other parts of their brain that lie dormant; that it is about SLOWLY releasing the emotional content stored within us, cleansing, revitalizing with the energy of the sun, and becoming a whole new person. It is not a race, not a fad, not something to take on as a whim.
It is very upsetting to hear so many messages of people who do NOT follow SAFE practices of Sun Gazing as taught by HRM. Don't get me wrong--I do not follow a "guru", but I DO recognize SAFE protocols, which he outlines on his website. To point-blank say that looking at the sun will cause you blindness is pure hysteria! I just finished reading an extensive account of the FACT that Galileo did NOT go blind from looking at the sun through his telescope, but from cataracts, diet, and other causes, AFTER he was 73, and LONG after he had FINISHED his telescope viewing. Besides, people who look at the sun during eclipses ONLY damage the CENTRAL part of their retina - they can SEE perfectly well except for their central vision - they do NOT go "blind"! And most of them actually regain all of their vision 3-4 months later! The media does not report that.
Mis-information is far worse than ignorance, althought they come form the same source. Paranoia and hysteria, such as I have read in many of these messages, are ill-founded. I was up to 30 minutes per day STARING INTO THE FULL SUN at sunrise, and I have NOT gone blind - in fact, as I begin again, my vision is gettting BETTER!
I feel that the most important factor in Sun Gazing has not even been touched on by anyone commenting on this message list: that of SURRENDERING oneself to the sun and cleaning out the mind, body, and spirit in doing so. This is a SPIRITUAL practice, handed down for centuries in some cultural practices. It is not for those wishing to get over hangovers quick, or to brag to others about what they are doing! If you really WANT to get into a SPIRITUAL practice that involves a complete mind, body, spirit transformation, then DO SOME RESEARCH, first, before spouting off hysteria and showing the world your ignorance. Really. Lack of research - meaning, combing the web and libraries and reading MANY research papers, many websites, COMPARING notes on who said what, with what facts to back it up, etc. - is the root of all misconceptions that lead to OPINIONS, not fact. Research in today's American society means 120 characters on Twitter! Impossible! But that is what we have degenerated into... A nation of "twitter-heads", a nation of fast-paced society that will not take the ime to stop and smell the flowers, or stop and take the time to do a week, a month, a year of research. But, that's not the instantaneous gratification that our nation has become addicted to. So, it's best to condemn before spending so much time discovering the truth.
I started Sun Gazing with 4 other friends six years ago, and all of us are just fine and have NO vision damage! Other friends reached their 44 minutes of GAZING into the full sun at sunrise/sunset without the ills perpetrated here. And we are all better "connected" with nature and vibrational frequencies because of our Sun Gazing experience.
The very FIRST question that you will want to ask yourself is this: WHY do you want to do Sun Gazing, anyway? The ONLY answer that is acceptable is: to actualize your full potential. And HOW would you even get to that answer is by researching everything about Sun Gazing, which is very evident that 99% of the commenters here have not done.
I wish you all better intentions and better research for a more real experience and outcome.

To Lady Light and all others that have provided viewpoints and perspectives here about the safe practice of sungazing. Thank you. It is warming to know that there are other beings treating it with respect and reverance. May all of you find peace and happiness if you haven't already. And may your light be an example to all beings everywhere.
Warmest regards, George

To Lady Light from Phoenix, good job on reporting your personal research with Sun Gazing. I myself am up to 20min 20seconds as of this morning. :) I concur with the increased energy and spiritual aspects, and I believe that more people should educate themselves on the different levels of alternative medicines. Feed your mind, and not with junk food. :) Thank you again for your report. :))) eLoven11 to all
Bangalore, India
YES, YES, and YES, Finally! Thankyou so much Lady Light. I wish that your perfect TRUTH, about safe sun gazing will reach out everywhere. I do think that people who are messing arround in good things, doubting, changing it etc, maybe are just not ready to commit themselves to it.... don't know. I'm also following SAFE SUN GAZING/SOLAR MEDITATION, following EXACTLY what an expert, HRM, is telling...its sooo simple, and if there is any questions we just email him, and the answer is there within 3 days. Again, THANK YOU.

Response to Lady Light:
Better intentions? Hmmmmm ... and who is to judge of these intentions? Having the intention to Sungaze to cure a hangover or having the intention to sungaze to achieve oneness with the supreme are one in the same...There is no difference.
It's been said "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." And I say "The road to heaven is paved with bad intentions."
There is no Light without Darkness!
The pineal gland is in the middle of the brain, right? Well the macula of the eyes absorbs all the good stuff from the sun and transfers it back to the brain in which the brain becomes energized and then sends the body its share of the suns goodies. Very simple process with large benefits.
South Africa
Given that your community has an interest in sungazing, we thought you might be interested in a new documentary film coming out later this month called Eat The Sun. The film explores the litte known world of sungazing by following a young man around the country meeting others who felt benefits from staring at the sun. It's a surprising film and inspires some fascinating discussions surrounding the benefits and risks of staring directly into the sun.
Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia
I have been sungazing for close on three years. I do not follow any "ritual" such as standing on bare soil or counting the seconds and minutes because I do not think that this will really make a difference; if anything it gets in the way of surrendering to the process.
My special procedure involves placing myself in such a way that I have the foliage of a tree between myself and the sun; using a gentle swaying motion I can control the amount of light that hits the eye.
Occasionally I gaze at the sun (I live in a subtropical area) at noon time for a up to a minute at a time and can only say that the alleged dangers of doing this are nothing but hysterical hype, coming from people who have never done any kind of any sun gazing.

You will not go blind sungazing. Geesh! If you can watch TV for 3 hours, surely you can see look into the sun. This is an ancient practice, and if you do ALL your homework before committing to the 9 months it takes to get to 44 minutes, then you know that there are guidelines to go by. Eye can receive the entire spectrum of sunlight. The rising and setting sun has minimal to zero UV rays. It is important for anyone who is looking into this SAFE practice to do their research first, because if you don't, then it is no longer considered a safe practice because you are not following the correct way. Hira Ratan Manek (HRM) is the best source to look at. He has several university studies behind him. I have been sungazing for about 2-3 months, and I am at 11 minutes, just about to finishing the 1st (of 3) stages, which allows the sun's energy or the sunrays passing through the human eye to charge the hypothalamus tract, which is the pathway behind the retina leading to the human brain.Stage 2 (15- 30 minutes), mental depression will go away, It is possible to achieve a perfect balance of mind. Physical diseases will start being cured as well. 70 to 80% of the energy synthesized from food is taken by the brain and is used up in fueling tensions and worries. With a lack of mental tension, brain does not require the same amount of energy as before. As you proceed in sun gazing and as your tensions decrease food intake goes down.
When you reach 30 - 44 minutes duration of continuously looking at sun you will slowly be liberated from physical diseases since by now all the colors of the sun reach the brain through the eye. Brain regulates the flow of color prana appropriately to the respective organs. All the internal organs get ample supply of the required color prana. The vital organs are dependent on certain sun color prana. Kidney red, Heart yellow, Liver green etc. Colors reach the organs and address any deficiencies.

I would hardly compare the TV to the sun....like apples to broccoli I would think...
A 2013 study linked LED lights in bulbs, computers, cell phones, and TVs to increased risk of irreparable harm to the retina in the eye. Researchers stated the damage came from high levels of radiation in the "blue band" of light. They estimated the problem is likely to grow as more computers, mobile phones and TV screens use LED lights. Experts have called for built-in filters to cut down on the blue glare.
My husband and I have been sungazing for a few weeks now and we feel amazing. We also have changed to a Raw Food Diet consisting of mainly fruit too.. So it could be a bit of both. But after Sungazing you just feel so good. We are addicted to it and can't wait to get out there and do it again. It makes you feel more connected. I have really deep sleeps now with vivid dreams. I have noticed my appetite has decreased already.. With a feeling of wanting to eat to heal my body instead of just satisfying it with taste. I am increasing the sungazing time 10 seconds a day. The first time I did it for 10 seconds, I could barely look at the sun. Now I can gaze at it for a long time with no problems. I am hoping for better eyesight in the long run.
Calgary, Alberta
Sungazing is one of the most high vibrational methods that helps us awaken to our unlimited potential. Intuitive Breathing (pranayama) and sungazing along with a few other methods have been the most powerful I've come across. In fact, you can see Hira Ratan Manek (HRM) and Umasankar in the award winning sungazing movie, What If? The Movie
Edmond, Oklahoma
Do not do that!!! Your eyeball is made up mostly of water. The sun heats it up and litterally boils/cooks your eyes. Your skin sunburns and so do your eyes except being made up of so much water it happens more quickly. If you burn your retina it's permanent damage. If you don't believe me ask an eye doctor. I just don't want to see anyone cause permenant damage to their sight.
Somewhere, Texas
When I was a little girl, we drove about 20 miles to church. To pass the time, I used to stare at the sun all the way there. I have told several opthalmologists about this, and they all said that my eyes were not damaged from it.
Santa Rosa, Ca
West Midlands, England
The issue with sungazing is - living in england where I live, we see the sun rare so building up 10seconds a day would result in about 5-7years before building upto the full time of sun gazing time, plus where I live - there is absolutely no accessible place to sungaze where there is soil. I do sungaze when possible and I started off with more than 10seconds and it didnt cause me no harm. Im now on 7minutes but I do this in 3minutes then another 3minutes then a further minute a present. What would be the feedback advise? to just increase one sitting of sun dose? because clouds dominate the skies by me almost 24/7 so getting to see it for more than 3minutes is somewhat of a revelation in england. Its constantly grey industrial skies here but if you need soil too - then I just cannot do that because id be too low that I would miss the sun completely in the rising and setting hours. I live in the shitty (i mean city) end basically.
i have noticed that I have gone 5hrs sleep on many nights in a row though lately and I walk several miles a day and go the gym and although I wake up worn out always, I manage to stay awake during the day for much longer now. Cant say as im on top of the world mind anywhere near yet
New York
San Diego
I am a teen who has an opinion on all of this. I have the best eyesight in my family. I am in the top of my classes. But I have never even heard of this before. But I have also done this many many times before. When I look straight at that sun during the car ride while its sun set I see a bright yellow ball form and it starts turning clockwise. It always was wierd and always did wonder.
People say it's not safe and I believe them but also don't believe them. Don't trust anybody but always look beneath the lines. Don't trust anything because you'll never know sometimes, you have do more research and ask the right questions.

I am very reluctant to critisize any of the treatments discussed here. But I have to agree very much with what Quanlan has to say about "sungazing". Sunlight is very damaging to skin. Sun burn is a very real phenomonen, many of us have first hand experience with sunburn to our skin. What would anyone expect to gain by focusing these damaging rays on what are very delicate tissues as described so well by Quanlan ? That is why it hurts our eyes to look directly at the sun. Thank you Quanlan for pointing this out to your fellow forum members. Any one who doubts that can do that simple experiment with a magnifing glass and a piece of paper. That is what you are doing to your eyes when SUNGAZING....Oscar
Visalia, Ca Usa
Yes it can be damaging if you dont know how to do it properly. If you even just google it you will see that your only to do it at sunrise or sunset, preferably sunrise between 4am and 6am and no longer than 10min. Some do it in 3min increments and like everything else you must work up to it very slowly. So yes caution is necessary. Please research before trying, best of luck
Manila, Philippines
Jo-ann Ramos/Philippines: I have been doing sun gazing for more than a year, at most 10 minutes. My eyes are still intact. My eyes closes at the first attempt of sun contact. After this, there are small dark spots appearing on the second sun contact and finally these small dark spots form a circle and covers the sun. Then, I see the sun very clearly, as if I am just gazing at the moon.
It is true that sun gazing may damage your eyes, IF YOU DO IT DURING UNSAFE TIMES. If you do it during safe times, unless you are on the equator or that one place in Africa with no ozone lair, It is literally impossible for you to damage your eyes, unless you looked at it through a magnifying glass...Do some research before saying things like this.
If an eye doctor started telling people the truth, that the sun does not damage your eyes but rather strengthens them then he would soon be out of business.

Fantasy baseball news: Pablo Sandoval has emerged from hibernation
In our daily fantasy baseball news and notes column, we'll be discussing hot topics in the fantasy baseball world, as well as offering up tidbits of information to help you set your lineup. Comments are welcome below.
Pablo Sandoval, the Kung Fu Panda, is hitting the baseball with all the ferocity of an actual panda bear. He hit a home run last night, and has now gotten a hit and an RBI in nine straight games, hitting five homers over that span. Panda bears are never in hibernation, but Sandoval certainly was during the first part of the year; his average is at .247 now, but three weeks ago, he was hitting just .167. Incredibly, he has more homers and RBI in his last nine games than he did in his first 44.
FANTASY BASEBALL WEEK 9: Power rankings | Pitching report | Hitting Report | Prospect watch | Pitcher scouting: Collin McHugh | Twitter chat highlights | Weekly planner | News & notes
Sandoval has completely salvaged what could have been a wasted year. Now, he's looking a stud who could be among fantasy baseball's top third basemen by the end of the year (though, it's hard to see anyone doing better than Edwin Encarnacion).
Sandoval has been an excellent hitter for years -- albeit with a Vladimir Guerrero-type affinity for swinging at everything -- but he's yet to follow through on his potential and put together a full season where he produces at this level. This might be the year that that changes. Despite the weak start, he has a chance to at last best the 25 homers and 90 RBI he produced in 2009. If he can stay healthy, this slimmer-than-ever Sandoval, who's also in a contract year, could be a fantasy beast from here on out.
Hopefully, you weren't among the thousands of fantasy owners who dropped him prior to this outbursts. Patience pays.
For your consideration
• Almost every year, a young hitter comes along and immediately asserts himself as one of the best players in the game. In 2012, it was Mike Trout. In 2013, it was Yasiel Puig. And in 2014, it's George Springer. The Astros phenom hit yet another home run (this one being a game-winner), which gives him seven homers and 15 RBI in his last seven games. Like Trout and Puig before him, Springer hasn't been sidetracked by a high propensity of striking out, and he's only going to get better. From this point on, you can look at Springer as an elite slugger, and if you're holding onto a disappointing hitter with a lot of name recognition, like Adrian Beltre for instance, sending out an offer for Springer might be the way to go, because he's looking like someone who could win you your fantasy league.
• Reinstated as the team's official closer since coming off the DL, Jason Grilli allowed a hit but got through the ninth unscathed to earn his sixth save of the year. Grilli has been outstanding since joining the Pirates in 2011, and even though he's 37 years old and has been injured twice in the last 10 months, he's not likely to cede the closer job to Mark Melancon based on performance. Melancon can be safely dropped, but keep an eye on Grilli.
• In his fourth game back since a wrist injury, Josh Willingham went 2-for-3 and belted his first home run of the season. Willingham is a very underrated player in fantasy circles, so much so that he isn't even owned in a tenth of Yahoo! fantasy leagues. He came out of nowhere to post 29 homers and 98 RBI in 2011, and was spectacular in 2012, hitting 35 homers and 110 RBI. But the wheels fell off last year, with Willingham managing a paltry 14 homers and 48 RBI in 111 games. The 35-year-old slugger has had a lot of ups and downs in his career, but he makes for an excellent pickup if you need help in the power categories right now -- especially if you're in a deeper league.
• Josh Collmenter was sensational against the Joey Votto-less Reds, allowing no runs and three hits over nine innings, while striking out five. The craziest part was that he faced the minimum 27 batters after inducing three double-plays. Collmenter had a promising start to his career in 2011, with a 3.38 ERA in 24 starts, but he's bounced around from being a starter to a middle reliever since then, and while his career numbers are surprisingly solid, he hasn't had much of a fantasy role until now. Collmenter doesn't strike out many people, but his control is excellent, with only 14 walks allowed this year; now sporting a 3.34 ERA through 62 innings, Collmenter has emerged as a viable stream candidate. (Though you may want to forget about him next week, when he pitches in Colorado.)
