New crime: Airbrushing while Muslim
Here's an interesting case of religiously motivated censorship. Religious paper apologizes for erasing Clinton from iconic photo – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs Faith has outweighed fact at Di Tzeitung, a Hasidic newspaper based in Brooklyn, New York.

Against the Grain Interview on California's long history of "genteel Apartheid"
This interview is a fascinating and eye-opening overview of the Golden State's little known history of virulent de facto racial segregation (called "genteel Apartheid" by one sociologist in as far back as 1960). This is important work. We as a society will never be able to have a fair, factually-grounded discussion about social policy so long as we labor under all these Disney-esque misconceptions about the origins of poverty, racism and marginalization in contemporary … [Read more...]

The Arab Street is owed an apology!
Most of the time I post stuff about Denmark, it tends to be bad news--of course, if you're a Muslim observer of Danish politics there's often been, sadly, pretty good reason for that--so I thought I'd try to atone a bit by translating this very thoughtful and topical piece by a Danish pundit on the lessons of the Arab Spring.

El hotel es una preciosidad en cuanto a la fachada y las instalaciones comunes. Además está muy céntrico. No hay aire acondicionado en las habitaciones. Claro que tampoco creo que se necesite mucho.
Me parece un hotel precioso en cuanto a estética sobre todo exterior e instalaciones comunes. Es un gusto para la vista. Además está muy céntrico. No dispone de aire acondicionado en las habitaciones, y los días que hemos estado hacía bastante calor, aunque supongo que no el resto del año.
Diseño moderno y funcional. Muy centrico No hay ascensor ni aire acondicionado
Categoría antigua Ubicación, confort,
Su proximidad al centro histórico y su servicio. He viajado por negocios y solo he estado 1 noche. Lástima. no
It was a very good hotel, with a very high standard. nice beckfest and a goumet dinner. Good beds and very freindly personal.
The location of the hotel near the river (provided you have window facing it), the staff were really helpfull and nice. Insects in the room: beatle (harmless) and big spider (can bite).
Breakfast was great. Rooms very good size & service in room good too. Location close to several places for shopping & getting a bite to eat.
Friendly and helpful staff
Very nice comfortable rooms.Good road links. Whilst near to the tram it was a 20 minutes walk to the centre. Nothing much immediately around the hotel.
friendly staff, comfortable bed, beautiful rooms, lovely setting with deck on the riverside, great view over river and park, quiet even though very close to city center
Cleanliness, comfort, internet connection in the room, easy parking, breakfast, courtesy of staff, position for moving in-out the town by car
The breakfast buffet. Also the proximity of the hotel to the tram stop and the main bus station on route to the city centre. The hotel is situated near two main and busy roads. Despite the double glazing it can be noisy during the night and in the early hours of the morning.
just perfect, verry nice builing (old mill), modern rooms, gourmets restaurant, good sevicelevel the only thing kind of missing was a swimmingpool
Good beds, very clean room and the hotel was very quiet. Staff were helpful and provided a snack even though it was late.
Large free car park. Friendly and efficient staff. Good selection for breakfast. Fair way from city centre and public transport finished early. Taxis were cheap though
Just one thing I found annoying was the phone number on the website was wrong
Ceiling fans and window screens in the rooms.
The rooms are good, the price is good and the location is good, so all in all it's ........ good. The breakfast is not so good. It's the same everyday and the cheese and meat is left out so fly's can go on it and it's not very fresh.
The room was cold (radiators didn't work properly according to the staff but there was nothing they could do to fix the problem). The TV was slow with very few channels (only in Polish). The beds were very basic with a single pillow and a very thin comforter. Overall very Spartan conditions.

Sexism in a New Decade
January 7, 2010You can't open a newsletter, check the WAM list, or turn on CSPAN without hearing about Barbara Berg's new book "Sexism in America: Alive, Well, and Ruining Our Future." In fact, the very same day I read a review of her "immensely readable" work on modern feminism in NOW-NYC's Newsletter, we found a clip of Berg giving a shout-out to the Women's Media Center during a book talk at Barnes & Noble.
I'm really looking forward to reading this book. This part, especially, got me excited:
I discovered renewed sexism in our national policies and our jobs; on college campuses, the Internet, and major television shows; and in our most intimate relations—an unequivocal resurgence of sexism in this country so potent, so complexly and broadly expressed, so much a product of the twenty-first century, it should be called nothing less than the sexism of mass destruction.
For the Women's Media Center, 2010 is the year of changing the conversation, which includes working to uncover, unravel and unlearn sexism wherever it appears. This cannot be accomplished without making sure there are plenty of qualified, authoritative, progressive women powerfully and visibly represented in the media.
Kudos to Barbara, Ms. magazine contributor and friend of the WMC, for taking the first step.

During Summer Orientation, you were registered for your first semester courses. Don't change the schedule – you are required to complete all of these courses. Dropping any courses now means you will have an extra load in a future semester, or may need to take a summer or intersession class. If you are concerned about particular classes, please call or stop by the Advising Center in the Administration Building. Don't make changes without getting advice.
Your Academic Advisor tries to ensure that you are assigned to classes that you are required to take and that meet your degree requirements. First year students often express concerns about the requirements of a class, or the Curriculum in general. If you are a deciding student, please contact your Academic Advisor in the Advising Center to discuss these concerns before the drop/add period ends. If you are declared in a major, please see your Faculty Advisor immediately, or the Dean of your school or college.
You can expect to find professors who want to get to know you, who want to help you and who want to share their passion for their subject. However, you can't just stand back and wait! What makes Roger Williams different from larger schools is that you will have access to faculty members. They will teach you, take time to answer your questions and be available to you during posted office hours. They spend hours planning for the classes they teach, evaluating your assignments and staying current in their areas of expertise. There are of course differences among the faculty and their teaching styles. Some are funnier than others. Some are more patient and express more compassion than others. Some may ask you to call them by their first name, while others will prefer you call them "Dr." or "Professor". However, you can count on all faculty members caring about your future and helping you succeed.
The college classroom is different than the high school classroom. The University expects you to apply yourself and stretch yourself – intellectually and socially. Your professors will give you assignments that will push you to further develop your reading, research, analytical and communication skills. They will ask you to think about new issues, to consider alternatives. You will be asked to think about class work and homework differently than you did in high school. In many cases, your professors will require you to submit assignments electronically. If you are not familiar with on-line class instruction or tools, stop by the Advising Center and one of our Peer Advisor Leaders will help you navigate these on-line systems. If you are lost or confused in class, talk to your professor. He or she will be glad to support you in your learning. But remember, if you don't let your professor know you are struggling, he or she can't help you. Also, for help in all classes in the required Core Curriculum, peer tutors are available in the Tutoring Center in the Center for Academic Development.
Students are expected to declare a major by the end of the third semester. A second major and/or a minor may also be selected. Additionally, all students must declare a CoreCconcentration. Please discuss University academic requirements at your first Advising Center appointment, or with your Faculty Advisor if you are in a declared major. Your advisor is there to guide you; however, you are responsible for knowing what the requirements are and fulfilling them in a timely manner. Whenever you make any change to your program (major, minor, second major, core concentration) you must complete a Curriculum Declaration Form and submit it to the Registrar. We encourage you not to make any changes to your program without first discussing it with an Academic Advisor, or your Faculty Advisor.
The Involvement Fair in September offers students the opportunity to talk with representatives from every club and organization on campus. This event offers you a "one stop shop" to find out about all the different ways you can get involved. Getting involved on campus is one of the best ways to make this place feel like home. Not only do you meet new people and forge new relationships outside of classes and your residence hall, you also develop skills and experiences that will support your job search process and your first full time professional job when you graduate. Research demonstrates that students who are involved in campus activities also do better academically.
During class, cell phones should be turned off. You won't be as attentive and engaged with the activity of the classroom if you are text messaging or receiving phone calls during class. It is also disrespectful and rude to use your cell phone during class. Your professor spends a great deal of time preparing for each class – respect that effort by being present for each class. Depending on the professor, laptops are often permissible in class, but only for note taking. Be respectful – don't surf the Web during class.
The University's main portal link to the web for everyone on campus is called RWU Portal (portal.rwu.edu). This is where you register for classes, get the name of your faculty advisor, and receive notification about important academic and social events on campus. It is your official electronic communication site with the University – use it every day. Your initial password is set to the first initial of your first name, first initial of your last name, and the last four digits of your social security number. For example, Sharon Jones would be sj4320.

You could probably just buy some shoe dye and dye it,

First of all, I have no idea how to work leather in any way. I bought a cheap "rough out" unstained leather pocket holster a few months back and I wet molded it to fit a model 36. It does the job, but I never did like the natural unstained look. I'm thinking of just doing a cheap little dye job on it to give it a simple brown stain, and I was wondering if anybody had any advice. I'm not too worried about this holster (it was 20 bucks), so if its too many steps I'll probably just pass. But if its simple enough, I'd like to just give it a try. Thanks for your suggestions.
You could probably just buy some shoe dye and dye it,
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Shoe dye will likely come off. A light neatsfoot oil coating will give it a golden brown color. If you want dark brown check out Hobby Lobby and look in their leather section for Eco Flo dye. It's about $6 or so. Maybe check a shoe store that does repairs. My local shop carry Feibings dye. It's about $10 a bottle though. It helps to seal the dye with acrylic seal too.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!

Leather Dye :: Dye for Leather :: Fiebing's Horse & Leather Care Products
And I'm guessing I just kind of slop it on and let it dry. Should I saturate it, or just give it a nice single "coat of paint"
Thanks for the advice!
If you dye it, it will stain your pocket. I use both kinds of dye, but if I am going to dye both sides, then I use the oil based dye. Apply evenly. It may take more than one coat to get the color you want. Let it dry overnight, then buff with a soft cloth to remove surface residue, which will minimize the dye coming off onto clothes.
After the dye dries, a coat of neatsfoot oil is next. That will darken the color.
Then use an acrylic finish over the top, either Super or Satin Sheen, or Resolene. The resolene should be diluted 50/50 with water first.
If there is any kind of finish already on the holster, the dye won't work as well.
Owner, Bear River Holsters.
steelhawk is on the money. If you have any mop & glo around cut it 50/50 with water and use it in place of the resolene. It's the same thing. If there is a finish on the holster you can try to clean it off with denatured alcohol. Might not be a bad idea to do it anyway. The residue on the leather from tanning can cause the dye to not take correctly. Just use the wool dauber that comes with it to brush it on.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
Omg, don't follow ANY of the above advice for a roughout holster.
It's no accident that a Sparks IWB roughout holster is a natural colour.
And this Anderson unoiled roughout Thunderbolt would be more than 40 years old.
Although neatsfoot oil compound (it's not pure in the forms that we buy it in) will, in the hands of experience, give you a nice colour that won't damage your clothes, it is not for a novice unless you feel lucky.
For a roughout holster, especially one that cost so little, leave the finish as it is. Following the advice you've been given will take you to a very ugly result.

Bring it to a shoe Maker or so called a Cobbler & for as little as $20.00 he can do it for you right. As I had mine done for me.
I would not do anything to a rough out holster. Think seriously about leaving it alone.

I haven't posted much of late. That's partly due to being busy and partly due to having broken my SLR camera. It seems the repair bill may be $300 or more so I taking my time deciding whether to repair or upgrade. In any case it meant that on a recent visit to Gunns Plains Cave I had to make do with a small compact camera. The images are not great but they at least give an idea of some of the magnificent formations within the cave. Some better quality shots can be seen in an older post here.
The public access to the cave takes you a little short of 300 metres in and to a depth of around 55 metres. Speleogists have mapped the cave to at least another 1 km.
In no particular order, here are the cave photos:

The iPad requires an additional cable to connect to campus projectors and monitors. If you plan to connect your iPad to a projector or another type of external screen, you will need a display adapter. You may purchase a VGA adapter, HDMI adapter, or both.
This is a completely cosmetic decision; it is entirely up to you!
This depends on how you intend to use your iPad. If you are planning to use your iPad primarily for email access, web browsing, viewing or composing documents and spreadsheets, and using a few apps, the 16 GB model should suffice. If you will be using a variety of apps or working with multimedia files, you will likely want the 32 GB or 64 GB models. Additional storage cannot be added later, so it may be better to buy more storage than you will need, than to buy too little storage.
If you no longer have a need for your device, then you must notify your Telecom Coordinator so that a work request can be entered to disconnect your service. Once service has been terminated, the device needs to be "wiped" of ALL personal and institutional information. The device and its accessories should then be labeled with the user's name and returned to the Telecom Admin office to be placed in surplus. If unsure as to how to "wipe" the device, a call can be made to the IT Help Desk at 5-0777 to assist in doing this.
Tablets (iPads or similar devices) belong to the department and not to any particular employee. Should the employee change positions or departments the tablet (iPad or similar device) remains the property of the department that made the purchase.

The Wi-Fi-only model will only be able to access the Internet where Wi-Fi coverage is available.
The Wi-Fi and Cellular Data model is capable of connecting to both Wi-Fi and wireless cellular data networks. Access to the cellular wireless data network is only available where the cellular provider has network coverage, and may not be available in all locations, or may require additional roaming charges.

text: Los Angeles-based Darker My Love include vocalist/guitarist Tim Presley and vocalist/bassist Rob Barbato - two of the celebrated American "Dudes" who stepped in to assist Mark E Smith in 2006 after the Fall leader's musicians abandoned ship in the American desert. However, DML don't sound remotely like the Fall. With one foot in British psychedelia (Syd Barrett, the Rolling Stones circa 2,000 Light Years From Home) and the other in the pre-shoegazing wave of Brit bands (Loop, Jesus and Mary Chain) they have that brutal drone thing off pat. However, when they hurl sugary hooks into the mix they achieve more than a blissful psychedelic haze. Two Ways Out is a sublime pop single; Pale Sun is almost an effects-laden Beach Boys. Pick of the bunch is Talking Words: a manic pop thrill perfectly packed into three minutes and 14 seconds.

|How can I insure just my child?
When getting quotes for your child(ren) only, enter the child's gender and birth date in the "Applicant" or first row. Additional children should be entered below in the "Child" rows, but not the "Spouse" row.
However, many health insurance companies require one policy per child. So if you have more than one child, try entering just one child to see a larger selection of plans and prices. You are free to apply for each child separately.

Europe should be setting Africa an example
I share the opinion of this newspaper that the architects of Federal Europe in Brussels will not long be halted by France's verdict - or by anyone else's verdict. There will be a pause maybe, but not a termination of their designs, which are too grand, too important to be thwarted by ill-informed citizens
But then, one asks, what is the rest of the world to make of such disregard for democracy?
Here in what has been called the cradle of civilisation, constantly urging African nations to grant the vote and espouse democracy, this great boon is suddenly thrust aside for a higher purpose.
What do we expect African rulers like Mugabe to make of that? At a stroke we shall reduce to humbug a sermon we have been preaching to the undeveloped world as long as I can remember.
It is the neglect of the democratic principle which alienates so many from the Europe that was taking shape.
I go along with Winston Churchill here. Democracy is far from being a perfect system; but no one has yet found a better one.
I would hope that governing by consent, which is democracy, in tomorrow's Europe was something on which Europhobes and Europhiles could stand together.
If they fail, then I hear loud, mocking laughter from some of Africa's rulers. Worse, I see on a distant horizon the very conflict united Europe was set up to avert.
When it has settled its future leadership, I want to hear where the Conservative Party stands on the family and marriage. Labour is silent on such topics, because it seeks to avoid giving offence to those who prefer a freer style of living. But that will not serve from Conservatives. Too many of our social ills today point to the loss of stable home life.
Nor will it suffice simply to uphold the family and marriage by exhortation, which is how Labour would go about it.
There must be positive fiscal incentives to uphold marriage and family life. Some will criticise that as discriminatory. It is nothing of the kind.
Nor is it racist, as some allege, because many from the West Indies have always preferred a looser lifestyle. They should remain free to live as they please, and so should those who are like-minded.
But the bulk of this nation, despite appearances to the contrary, espouses married life. It is an indispensable foundation of our society. Conservatives must summon their courage to say so, and to cherish it. Let future support for them depend on it.
To the Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival which attracts me for its reassurance that we are a more cultivated people than we sometimes think. Why do such vast numbers feel drawn to this small town, renowned for its 39 bookshops, but unable to accommodate a tenth of those who flock there for a fortnight to listen to talks and interviews lightly flavoured with literature?
In this its 18th year, the festival has moved to a bigger site on the edge of the town, but it has not reduced the congestion which at my age I find slightly intimidating but which everyone else seems to relish. My modest role was to submit myself to an interview by the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger.
It was conducted in Hay style rather than television style and, believe me, there is a difference. A television interview with a politician sometimes leaves his profession in a dimmer light than when he began.
It's possible, I reflected cautiously, after our hour's encounter, that we've done journalism no lasting harm and may even have left one or two thinking a degree better of it. That's Hay-on-Wye's magic mushroom.

Choking is when someone is having a very hard time breathing because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the throat or windpipe (airway).
A choking person's airway may be blocked so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs. Without oxygen, brain damage can occur in as little as 4 to 6 minutes. Rapid first aid for choking can save a person's life.
Abdominal thrusts is an emergency technique to help clear someone's airway.
Choking - Heimlich maneuver
First ask, "Are you choking? Can you speak?" DO NOT perform first aid if the person is coughing forcefully and is able to speak. A strong cough can often dislodge the object.
If the person is choking, perform abdominal thrusts as follows:
You may need to repeat the procedure several times before the object is dislodged. If repeated attempts do not free the airway, call 911.
If the person loses consciousness, start CPR.
If you are not comfortable performing abdominal thrusts, you can perform back blows instead on a person who is choking.

(I really liked what you wrote in all of this that followed, but honestly it didn't really clear up awakening for me.
Anonymous Coward 1194419
Perhaps this good article may help. This is the Awakening which Saint Germain refers to in his messages, it is the aim of all spiritual teachings, and can be achieved by several paths, "all roads lead to Rome", each path is best suited to each type of aspirant, this below is the Jnana Yoga path.
Advaita Vedanta- Philosophy of Oneness or Monism for Spiritual Awakening
Advaita Vedanta is the philosophy of Monism, or Oneness. In this philosophy, the only reality in the world is said to Brahman, the 'Oneness'. All the world that we see around us is said to have relative reality only, and it is Brahman alone at the base of the world which has absolute reality. Even our own individual consciousness is only a relative reality, and it is Brhaman which lies at the root of our consciousness which is our true identity. This means that we are, right at this moment, Brahman itself, and we can rejoice in the supreme bliss of being Brahman if we can break out of our individual identity. This is to be done through Yoga. We can then achieve Spiritual Awakening and realize the Truth of our existence.
'Advaita' means 'non–dual', that there is only one. Dvaita means two, and hence Advaita means not–two.
Advaita philosophy is based on the Upanishads or 'Vedantas', which are a part of the Vedas, the main religious scriptures of Hinduism.
Vedanta philosophy or Upanishadic philosophy has three main schools, Dvaita, Vishista–dvaita and A–dvaita.
All these three schools are based on the same sriptures, the Upanishads, and derive their difference because they interpret the sutras of the Upanishads differently. The Upanishadic sutras are short, terse passages, and lend themselves to different interpretations, and hence we have these three schools of Vedanta philosophy, all of which claim that their philosophy is the true philosophy of the Upanishads and the others are misinterpretations.
Dvaita means dualism. Here there are two separate existences, God and the world. God has created the world, and the two are completely separate existences, with God being the higher perfect existence and the material world, including all humans, being a lower existence. There is thus no commonality between us and God.
Vishista–dvaita is the path of qualified monism. Here also God has created the world but he has created it out of his own substance. Hence the world, including us, are not an entirely separate substance from God, we also have the Divine within us. But we are imperfect parts of the divine and it is only God who is wholly perfect, and we have but a 'spark' of this divinity within us.
The third school of Vedanta philosophy is the school of Advaita Vedanta. In this, the only reality that exists is Brahman. This does not mean that the world does not exist, but that it has a lower level of reality. In Advaita Vedanta philosophy, the world exists, but it exists with only ambiguous reality, and it exists with Brahman at its root. Hence the true reality of the world is Brahman and the reality that we see around us is a false reality, an ambiguous reality. So the world is really Brahman, that which is not Brahman has only relative reality and is to be disregarded.
To understand this, we can take the example of a burning candle as it changes to smoke, ash and giving off energy in the form of light and heat. We can see that as the candle burns, it changes in form so that it exists as candle in the beginning, as wax,energy and smoke in the middle and as ash and dissipated smoke and energy at the end. Since the candle changes form in this way, there must be something which is common to all the three forms, something which can exist as the candle alone or as ash, smoke and energy also. We know from science that that which is common to all these forms is the matter–energy combination. Matter in the form of molecules and atoms of wax combined with energy and existed as the candle in the beginning, and in the other forms like ashes, smoke and heat and light at the end. So for this change, it is matter – energy which formed the absolute reality and the candle, etc. were just forms of this. Again, we know from E=MC2 that matter and energy are also part of a spectrum and matter can be expressed as energy and vice versa. So there must be something which is common to both, something which can exist either in the form of matter or in the form of energy. So, arguing in this way, we can see that all that exists in this world are but forms and have only relative reality and there must be something which is Absolute beyond all this. This Absolute beyond the world is declared to be Brahman in Advaita Vedanta.
Similarly, for our consciousness also, when we examine our individual consciousness, our thoughts, ego and sensations,etc. we find that we cannot ascribe an absolute reality to any of them. They all have a fleeting reality only and none can be said to have a unique identity. Yet there can be no doubt that 'I' exist, that this I, my individuality, exists. This existence cannot rest on any individual thoughts or sensations, since they are all temporary. There must be something which has absolute reality, something which is unchanging and which is the root of our awareness. This unchanging root of our consciousness is declared to be Brahman by Advaita Vedanta.
When we ask the question, 'who am I', we would be prone to identify with our individual consciousness, our ego in this world. But Advaita Vedanta philosophy says that this individual consciousness is not our true reality, since it has only a relative reality, and our true identity is that which is the root of our consciousness, the Brahman.
So when we ask the question, 'who am I', the answer according to Advaita Vedanta philosophy would be, 'I am Brahman', "Aham Brahmasvi".
This really is the main importance of Advaita Vedanta Philosophy, that it says that we ourselves are Brahman.
Brahman is the root of both the world and our consciousness, the objective and the subjective.
That Brahman is the root of the objective world has its importance in understanding the true reality of the world. It also has its importance in physical sciences, see here.
But it is Brahman as the root of our individual consciousness which is the main teaching of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy. It is this teaching that is the fount of the spirituality of Advaita Vedanta.
In our everyday life, we identify ourselves with our individual consciousness. The rush of thoughts and sensations which fill our minds seem to be all that constitute our identity. We rush along heedless with this flow. But if we examine this flow of thoughts and sensations, we will find that they are very transient and if we consider this to be our identity, our identity too would be flimsy. Advaita Vedanta teaches us that our true identity is not this stream but the Absolute Brahman which lies at its base and illuminates it. Once we stop this flow, our identification with our individual consciousness will also cease and we will exist as the Absolute Brahman, which was always our true Self.
This is the spiritual goal of Advaita Vedanta. The path to stopping this flow of thoughts and sensations is Yoga. There are four main types of Yoga: Raja, Karma, Bhakti and Gyan. Through Yoga, our rush of thoughts and sensations will become stilled and we will become one with Brahman. Then all our doubts and fears will be dispelled and we will attain Spiritual Enlightenment. Once we know ourselves as Brahman, we will no more identify ourselves as our puny ego and see ourselves as who we really are, the Absolute, Unchangeable root of the Universe itself.
There are four main 'Mahavakyas' or 'great axioms' of Advaita Vedanta philosophy. They are (1) Prajnanam Brahma – Consciousness is Brahman; (2) Aham Brahmasmi – I am Brahman: (3) Tat Tvam Asi – That Thou Art; (4) Ayam Atma Brahma – This Self is Brahman. These are the central tenets of this philosophy.
The essence of all these four sayings are the same: that it I myself who am Brahman. Brahman or Oneness is not something to be looked for outside. It is within me, or rather it is me myself. That part of me which is not Brahman, my individual ego, my thoughts and sensations, etc. have only an ambiguous, half formed reality. It rests on my true identity, which is the root, and that is Brahman. I need only to realize this and I will know the Truth of this universe.
Thus the path of Advaita Vedanta philosophy is to search for this root of oneself, this true self of oneself, which is Brahman. This is all that ever was, it is only because of a lack of true appreciation that we think of ourselves as other than Brahman. It is this Brahman that we need to realize, and this is done through Yoga. This is the great truth shown by Advaita Vedanta philosophy.

The whole town's talking about the Jones girls
- Updated: March 6, 2013
Over the past decade, Jennifer Jones has secured a place as one of the most dominant forces in women's curling. This December, playing for the first time in a national championship in front of a hometown crowd, she'll have the opportunity to put another mark in the history books.
The four-time winner of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, and gold medallist at the 2008 Ford World Women's Championship, will be focused on a shot at Olympic gold when the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings, presented by Monsanto, comes to Winnipeg, Dec. 1-8 at the MTS Centre.
Jones earned the first women's berth in the 2013 Canadian Curling Trials with a win over fellow Manitoban Chelsea Carey in the final of the 2011 Capital One Canada Cup.
Although she lost to Ontario's Rachel Homan in the championship final of this year's Scotties, Jones became only the second skip in history to win 100 games at the Canadian women's curling championship.
The Manitoba team, including Kaitlyn Lawes, Jill Officer and Dawn Askin, finished the round robin with an undefeated record, the first do so since Linda Moore's British Columbia squad in 1985.
Jones won the Canadian women's title three consecutive years, from 2008-2010, falling one short of matching the record held by Colleen Jones of Nova Scotia.
For countless curling fans, Jones will always be remembered for "the shot" – a dramatic "in-off" take-out with her final stone in the 2005 Scotties Tournament of Hearts to defeat Team Ontario and slide away with the title.
"You Gotta Be There" to see the hometown favourites – along with the best from the rest of the country – at the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings. The prime seats in the MTS Centre are available now by clicking here.

The best I can find is at Sam's Club
$260 for a Mario Kart 7 3DS XL bundle,
plus a game of your choosing,
an accessory pack, and a $20 3DS prepaid card

Did you look at the deals forum at all? Multiple retailers have the XL on sale tomorrow, with Target having any XL for $159.

Also I didn't think it was that bad considering the bundle system is sold out most retailers, and several places want more than MSRP now. and the 2nd game you get to choose, they actually have quality games (NSMB2, Kingdom hearts, etc) any other place that has a similar package, all the games are shovel ware .
ex, walmart has a xl deal for 200 with a game and case. but all the games suck, and the only first party game is steel diver.
(need the Club Nintendo points from first party game because with the 3ds and the game, not only will I hit platinum, I will also have the 1200 coins for a game and watch)

Yeah, but if you buy the XL at target this week, it's only $150, which means you could get a non-garbage non-throwaway game, and it would still cost you less than $200. Here's a crazy thought, but you could apply for a target red card, and put it on there, and pay it off when you get the money after the first. (assuming you have the credit, and age)
I'm 23, but have no credit.
I have utilities in my name, but will probably be a while before I have enough established credit to get a card.
(well I'll be 23 on the first. my gf is buying me this for my birthday.)
I could always sell my original 3DS and help the cost with that, but I'm a collector with over 500 games, and I hate to sell a console I don't have more than 1 of.

Water Resources in the Middle East

A Seeping Timebomb: Pollution of the Mountain Aquifer by Sewage

Untreated sewage of over 2 million people on the recharge area of the Mountain Aquifer threatens to pollute the most significant, shared water source of Israelis and Palestinians. The vast majority of Palestinians in the West Bank, and large parts of the Israeli settlements, have none or inadequate sewage treatment facilities. The international community, led by Germany and the U.S., has committed funding for several sewage projects, however, only one full scale project has been implemented to date (one pre-treatment facility was completed in 2005) This chapter examines the factors preventing projects' implementation, and proposes recommendations to all parties involved.
This article was prepared and presented in 2004, and appears here without change. However, several noteworthy developments took place since its original presentation. These include: launching of a sewage pre-treatment facility in Tul Karem (German funded); the proposed sewage project for Nablus East was cancelled; establishment of a sewage removal project on the Kanah Stream for some Israeli settlements; Enforcement measures were taken by the Israeli Environment Ministry against the settlement of Ariel on the issue of sewage treatment; the USAID froze its Hebron wastewater project, owing to the establishment of the Hamas government in the Palestinian Authority.

Arsène Wenger accepts his Arsenal side will be labelled as underdogs in their Champions League Quarter-Final with Barcelona – even though he thinks the tie is "even-money".
The Frenchman's team were handed the hardest possible opponents in Friday's draw when they were pitched against the reigning European champions.
Pep Guardiola's side won a treble last year. They despatched Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League Final and also scooped a domestic double in Spain.
"I believe we will not be favourites but, for me, it will be a 50-50 game," said Wenger when asked for his reaction at his usual Friday press conference. "That's how we have to take it.
"When you get to the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League you play good teams and Barcelona are a good team.
"It will be an interesting, exciting game. We have to make sure we have the belief and focus right."
Should Arsenal defy the odds they face the winner of Inter and CSKA Moscow in the Semi-Final. Having knocked out Chelsea, the Italians will be favoured there. It will be a tough path but, having got back into the title race, Wenger believes he must keep his focus on domestic matters.
"You can only take one step at a time," he said. "Of course the route is not easy, I concede that. But the best way to be successful in the Quarter-Final is to go into those games in good condition and with a strong belief.
"That happens only if we do well in the Premier League."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Senior Maura Frauenhofer (Willamsivlle, N.Y) has been named MAAC Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week for her performance at the Duquesne Duals this past Saturday.
Frauenhofer ran to a fifth-place finish among 93 runners in the women's field in Pittsburgh, Pa. This marks the second-consecutive year that Frauenhofer has earned the honor after her performance at the Duquesne Duals meet. Last year she ran to a first-place finish with a time of 18:43 at the event. Frauenhofer improved on her 2009 time as she shaved 17 seconds off this year's finish coming in at 18:26.
The Canisius women took third in the team scoring with four members of the Blue and Gold finishing in the top 25. This is the third time Frauenhofer has earned MAAC Runner of the Week honors in her career. She received the honor twice in 2009 after her performances at the Duquesne Duals and the Monmouth Invitational.

Thinking the unthinkable. "I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me. A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. … In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it's easy to talk about guns. But it's time to talk about mental illness." The only problem is talking about mental illness does not advance the left's political agenda.

Here's the question I have: are there more mental problems with today's kids? I'm worried to death about this. I'm not asking because I know the answer. It seems to me there's an epidemic of ADHD and autism and all kinds of lesser undiagnosable behavior issues with young children. I'm in my late fifties. When I think back to elementary school, I don't remember disorderly children – they wouldn't have been tolerated for two seconds. Now, when I visit my grandchildrens' schools, it's like visiting Berserk-ville. Pandemonium reigns. When I was in school, if a teacher said shut up and stand still, we became statues. Now, if a teacher says shut and stand still it's like she didn't even speak. I don't get it.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
"I'm in my late fifties. When I think back to elementary school, I don't remember disorderly children – they wouldn't have been tolerated for two seconds."
Same here. Discipline, and I mean corporal punishment, (Spanking) would nip a lot of this at the bud.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him. Proverbs 22:15
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. Proverbs 13:24
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol. Proverbs 23:13-14
I do talks in elementary schools. My shtick takes about 2 and a half to 3 hours in a public school, 'cause the kids can't shut up or pay attention; they constantly derail the talk. It takes about 1 hour in a Catholic school, where the kids sit with their hands folded on their desks, look straight at me, and (get this!) they ask intelligent questions at the end.

Enlightening people about the different types of mental illness is certainly necessary. However, in the short term we need more security. Not just some old retired traffic cops with no guns. We need trained professionals, with firearms, who know how to thwart an attack and keep casualties to a minimum.
My dad's friend is about 92. He is still taking care of his youngest son, who's about 2-3 years younger than I am. He's not violent, but the kid did too many drugs when he was young and fried his brain. He's incapable of taking care of himself. Lord knows what will happen when his father passes away. His mother died awhile back.
Heartbreaking for me to watch friends of mine in the same situtation as this woman.
I also came across this response to the above article. I thought it was interesting as well.

I have a job that allows me to vote anytime I want, so I headed out at 10:58 am, which is conveniently during the midmorning lull.
Dew glistened in the early rays of light and the clear, cool morning air held little hint of the heat sure to come by midmorning.
The white mocker died at midmorning the next day as they stopped for a rest.
midmorning I would say, which was contrary to his usual practice of calling in the early evening.
The wheelbarrows, four of them, came down from the ship by midmorning.
He tossed it in the bed of the pickup and threw more sacks over it to keep it cool under the broiling, midmorning sun.
By midmorning the next day, Tom had assembled a pilot model of his ion-drive jet.
It was midmorning when the girls, busy about their simple household tasks, heard a hallooing out on the beach.
Her hair glowed in the light of midmorning, but her face was pale and a little drawn.
It was midmorning when the girls, having completed their few household tasks, again went to the beach to look for the boys.

Nice documentation. I just finished the same project but with a XBee modem and not a GSM modem (I worried about costs). I too started with Python on the web server side, but realized I'd be serving livelink updates to Google Maps/Earth with Javascript, so I rewrote that module in Java and persisted the data with Hibernate – hides all of that icky SQL stuff. I've also had a board fab'd to hold all the parts and I've gotten the package down to 1.1"X 1.6".
I might offer another suggestion: Add "ID" and "DATETIME" fields to your table… I quickly realized not only would it be fun to watch more than one target, but being able to "play back" the tracks can be interesting/valuable.
No public wish lists :(

A summary of trading in key commodities markets overseas:
Oil prices advanced due to a solid US jobs report and continued doubt about the prospects for a full recovery of Libyan exports.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for May delivery rose 85 US cents to finish at $US101.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
European benchmark Brent oil for May delivery increased 57 US cents to $US106.72 a barrel in London.
The US Department of Labor reported the US economy added 192,000 jobs in March, essentially meeting expectations and suggesting a continuation of the trend of slow but steady improvement in the labor market.
Gold prices rose to their highest level in more than a week after data showed the US created slightly fewer jobs than expected in March.
The data pointed to moderate improvement in the labour market, suggesting the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates near zero well into 2015.
Gold for June delivery, the most active contract, rose $18.90, or 1.5 per cent, to close at $US1303.50 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was the highest close since March 25.
Copper prices have closed lower on the London Metal Exchange (LME), erasing early gains after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report dented investor sentiment.
The LME's three-month copper contract was down 0.4 per cent at $US6,618 a metric ton at the close of open-outcry trading.
Aluminium was 0.7 per cent lower at $US1,821 a ton.
Copper prices fell after a monthly US jobs report raised doubts over the strength of the US economic recovery, with the economy adding 192,000 jobs in March, missing forecasts for a 200,000 gain.
"Many were expecting more from the US jobs market," said Joshua Mahony, a research analyst at Alpari UK.

The holy month of Ramadan has raised new issues to the Egyptian people when it becomes clear there is a significant difference regarding how to celebrate an important religious holiday in the modern world. On one hand, the police have arrested those with secular views while on the other hand, TV programs feature female hosts discussing their secret love feelings. Is Egypt being taken over by saints or sinners is the question? The Egyptian government is part of the problem since it tends to support the ideas of religious fundamentalists in order to co-opt them from supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. However, many Egyptian government officials are secular minded businessmen.
Ironically, in a Muslim society during Ramadan many restaurants are open during the day and people are having meals. There even have been arrests for the crime of smoking on Ramadan. I have a hunch there must be some discussions going on inside the government over allowing sex talk on TV during Ramadan!

We had old moldy yogurt in out ice buckets, holes in out molding and walls. Lights unplugged and a broken bed. Every time i touched metal I got shocked. When the elevators were backed up I took the stairs and fell down a few flights, Good thing my vinyl Keiichi jacket was a bit tough to take a lot of the blows. I accidently stepped on a few cosplayers dressed and ended up ripping them a bit.. I feel so horrible... That was my bad experiance.
