Last Kisses For Last Love - Poem by adheez van der beanthz
lips by lips
breath by breath
here we meet
let's forget the rest
i hug you closer
your hand in my shoulder
fondle my frozen-skin
burning every single inch
our tongues make a sign
our heartbeat write the rhyme
for a second, i mute the time
wander to your deepest mind
hope this moment last longer
no matter if we wake-up the world anger
i'll be stronger, i'll be better
as long as we stay together, forever
until the death come for sure...

Classical thinkers employed classification as a way to define and assess the quality of poetry. Notably, the existing fragments of Aristotle's Poetics describe three genres of poetry—the epic, the comic, and the tragic—and develop rules to distinguish the highest-quality poetry in each genre, based on the underlying purposes of the genre.[15] Later aestheticians identified three major genres: epic poetry, lyric poetry, and dramatic poetry, treating comedy and tragedy as subgenres of dramatic poetry.[16]
Aristotle's work was influential throughout the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age, [17] as well as in Europe during the Renaissance.[18] Later poets and aestheticians often distinguished poetry from, and defined it in opposition to prose, which was generally understood as writing with a proclivity to logical explication and a linear narrative structure.[19] (Report) Reply

An added benefit of each drop being aircraft cable-suspended is the ability to adjust the overall height of the piece to fit the space. The overall result is stark and stunning.

text:
from the Viewpoint column of the Christian Research Journal, Summer 1988, Volume 11, Number 1, page 31. The Editor-in-Chief of the Christian Research Journal is Elliot Miller.
Scripture vs. the spiritual gifts? The very idea is self-contradictory, since God is the source of both. And yet, this contradiction has been a lamentable reality in the twentieth-century church. More often than not, the Bible and the "charismata"(gifts of God's grace) have been set at odds, with one being made the reason for ignoring (if not rejecting) the other.
At the bottom of this conflict is a crucial issue for the Christian faith -- revelation. Although the anticharismatics (e.g., many dispensational and reformed believers) would agree that some spiritual gifts are functioning today, they often argue that the more dramatic "sign" gifts (e.g., prophecy, speaking in tongues, healing, miracles -- see 1 Cor. 12:8-10) served special authenticating and revelatory functions in the first century only. Basing their position largely on 1 Corinthians 13:8-12, they maintain that once the canon of Scripture ("that which is perfect") was completed, the sign gifts with their "partial" revelation were no longer needed and so ceased to exist. Thus, the anticharismatics view the modern charismatic movement as being unbiblical and in direct competition with biblical revelation, allowing extrabiblical "messages from God" to supersede Scripture.
A survey of the twentieth-century pentecostal/charismatic movement would seem to vindicate such charges. Although there are notable exceptions (e.g., the Assemblies of God), charismatics seem to have a propensity for novel and controversial doctrines (e.g., "manifest sons of God," demonization of Christians, "shepherding," "positive confession," "kingdom now"). In fact, there is a prevailing tendency among charismatics to view the charismata as a source of continuing revelation. Some formally affirm this belief (see, e.g., "The Gospel According to Paulk" on p.21). But even among those who would not consciously embrace it, it is not uncommon to find the sign gifts functioning as revelation in their lives. For examples: doctrines are accepted as biblical mainly because they received a "prophetic" endorsement; church and personal decisions are more often based on prophetic "words" than Scripture; supernatural manifestations are pursued with greater zeal than understanding of Scripture and sound doctrine.
The conflict of "Scripture vs. the spiritual gifts," then, might be restated as a conflict over whether extrabiblical revelation, in the form of the sign gifts, is biblical. But this brings us right to the root of the problem. Both sides of the debate have a mistaken view of the biblical purpose and function of the sign gifts. And worse, the charismatic side has a deficient appreciation of biblical revelation.
In the sense of the term used here, a revelation is God's authoritative disclosure to man of universally significant truth. God's revelation in Christ, as recorded in Scripture, is final and complete (Heb. 1:1-2; Jude 3; Eph. 2:20; etc.). As God's unique and infallible word, Scripture is sufficient for all our doctrine, and is the absolute standard by which we must judge all things (2 Tim. 3:15-17; Isa. 8:20).
Biblically, the sign gifts serve distinctly different, nonrevelatory purposes. Space will not permit an analysis of each sign gift to prove this point. But if it can be established in regard to prophecy, it would seem obvious that the others are nonrevelatory as well.
Because it does consist of messages from God to man, prophecy could have conceivably substituted for Scripture until the canon was complete. But is that what 1 Corinthians 13 is saying? Historically, the church has understood this passage to mean by "that which is perfect" the Second Coming of Christ. Dispensationalists argue, though, that the Greek word for "perfect" (teleion) is in the neuter gender, indicating the apostle meant Scripture rather than Christ. However, the Greek can as easily mean "mature" or "complete," and it would appear from the context that Paul uses the neuter gender because he is writing about particular states or levels of maturity (cf. v. 11). In our future, "mature" or "perfect" state, after we are glorified at Christ's second coming, we will no longer need the gifts God has given us to help us get by in our present feeble condition. We will then "see face to face" and "know fully" (v. 12; cf. 1 John 3:2).
If the anticharismatics are wrong, and prophecy (understood as messages from God to man) is meant to continue, does that mean those charismatics who believe in ongoing revelation are right? While prophecy was an important means of revelation in biblical times, the "prophecy" referred to as a spiritual gift given to the church in 1 Corinthians is manifestly of a different kind. This is evidenced by Paul's instruction: "For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be exhorted" (14:31). Certainly, all of the Corinthians were not capable of transmitting authoritative revelation comparable to that of Paul, Peter, and John!
The charisma of prophecy does not impart some previously undisclosed doctrinal truth, nor does it carry the authority of revelation. Each new manifestation is to be rigorously tested (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:20-21), suggesting that those who exercise it are not expected to be infallible (as were the Old Testament prophets -- Deut. 18:20-22).
What then is its function? While it may occasionally impart nondoctrinal knowledge of local significance (e.g., Acts 11:27-28), it primarily applies the already-revealed truth of Scripture to the church's present situation for purposes of "edification and exhortation and consolation" (1 Cor. 14:3). Like all of the other gifts, it is a means of ministry, not revelation.
In this sense, prophecy, tongues, and healing are no different than teaching, mercy-showing, and service (Rom. 12:7-8). Just as the latter gifts complement the ministry of the Word, so should the former. They are not meant to compete with Scripture (God's unique revelation) for the central place of authority and guidance in our lives. But, in the context of Christ's body, they each provide a special ministry of grace which the believer needs to "grow up in all aspects into Him, who is the head, even Christ" (Eph. 4:15).

Wouks, too many replies! I learned a lot by just reading. I will just reply to a few comments. > To be honest, I think saying RDBMS and CouchDB are for different > solutions is just you guys being nice. I think that any application > would benefit from using the CouchDB model and only in very specific, > very demanding cases an RDBMS would be better. I can't think of any > examples though. Yes, see, this is what I started to believe as well. But this thread showed me that this idea is wrong. RDBMS are there and were written for a reason. CouchDB solves a different problem. It's not just a new storage layer that can be plugged into any existing (RDBMS) database abstraction layer and then "it just works". http://couchdb.apache.org/docs/intro.html "An object-oriented database. Or more specifically, meant to function as a seamless persistence layer for an OO programming language." > I'll help you: I think it would be easier to create a wiki with > CouchDB than with an RDBMS. It is possible in both but CouchDB just > makes it easier. I suppose we'd have to ask the http://couch.it guys > to know if that's true. Well. How does CouchDB make it easier? I think I'd be easier on some parts, and harder on other parts. As I said, I don't think (anymore) that CouchDB is supposed to replace a RDBMS, but instead solve a different problem. As soon as you need to scale horizontally, replication comes into play, think Wikipedia. Because of the eventual consistency, you might have many different versions of pages "live". Just think what happens when users start to edit and save old versions. This is a very interesting read http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=23844338919 About cache invalidation. I just don't think that, as soon as you are forced to use replication, which is the whole point of CouchDB? Clouds? Scale horizontally? you can actually build a typical web application (wiki, forum, blog) that doesn't give the user a consistent experience. Now, if you build something like Antony Blakey (#9 in this thread), that seems like a really great idea on how to use CouchDB. > I know it would be fairly simple to have an "accounts" array field on a JSON > user-account document - that way no single "enities" account could be > changed by more than one write at the same time... seems rediculously simple > - but is there a case where this could fail? Well, isn't the standard example: Person A only has $500. 1 Check A's account: $500 2 Set A's account: $0 3 Check B's account: $1000 4 Set B's account: $1500 Now, if at any time between 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 you modify A's or B's account, you have lost. This is where it could fail? Assuming the four actions are not sent in the same request. Again. This is RDBMS thinking. In CouchDB, the balance should probably be a view. But there is still no way to enforce that you have enough money on your account before you can withdraw. Is there? Check Balance <- Other Instance Withdraws Withdraw > Things that CouchDB is better at: > The interweb. > Things that an RDBMS is better at: > Huge amounts of business logic. As in the Oracle install running your > favorite hospital. Think along the lines of 10's and 100's of > thousands of lines of app logic in the DB itself. You know, I am trying really hard, but these comments just contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion. > You can do that with Map/Reduce. > Create a view that gets all the comments and get them with limit=0, > there's your counter. No, you cannot. *Variable* criteria. A Map/Reduce is a fixed criteria. Also, a counter in the most abstract meaning. The only way to count something in CouchDB is to add every item to the database and then use a view. There is no +=. And there is no way to aggregate the count into a single key. Patrick, if you aren't trying, then don't. There are enough people who actually try.

Gold Trade Traded Funds as well as the world Gold Markets
Gold Exchange Traded Dollars have grown to be a considerable element inside the overall globe gold marketplaces. gold ira
Exchange Traded Cash invest in and sustain a established quantity of gold, then provide shares in their gold inventory. These shares are procured and made available with regard to the secondary marketplaces by brokers the exact same as shares of stock.
The sector share price tag remains carefully tied on your latest industry gold price of the elemental degree of gold represented by every share. A single share signifies one-tenth on the ounce of gold.
Being a consequence, obtaining shares in gold Trade Traded Funds is de facto a simple way for that two institutions and frequent folks to take a position in gold. You do not really need to worry about using possession of, or storing, the particular physical dollars or bars. Getting shares of gold mining shares signifies even further prospect, if the business is beautifully managed and it's gold during the mines it owns. In addition, you do not provide the numerous risks, expenses and hassles of buying gold commodity contracts or options, which might be time-limited investments anyway, ideal just for speculators, not standard individuals who only desire to unique some gold to hedge their portfolios.
Getting gold ETF shares is really a rapid strategy for benefiting from boosts within the rate of gold, with out acquiring pay money for working with the actual metallic (that is definitely held in storage by means of the ETF business). The ETF business can problems new shares only by paying for further gold and incorporating that to its stock.
The first these types of fund was LyxOR Gold Bullion Securities (GBS) in Australia in March 2003. In Oct 2004 StreetTRACKS launched Gold Shares (GLD). Barclays ishares COMEX Gold Trust in unveiled in 2005. Fairly some other gold ETFs take place to get made in money markets all-around the earth.
Partly because of the swift increase from the price of gold, GLD turned 1 over the fastest building Trade Traded Dollars.
Holdings by gold ETFs now exceed central economic institution reserves to the European Central Lender, The Netherlands, China, Russia, the united kingdom and much of other nations. As of some decades before, ETF gold holdings amounted to 780 tonnes. Cumulatively, central financial institutions keep far more, and there is way more gold in jewellery.

Does the RIS collect full routing tables from its peers?
Yes, but not always. The RIS route collectors receive both full routing tables and partial views, depending on the peer. We try to maintain a balance between full tables and partial views in every location where RIS is present. This means that a broad view of the routes seen at that location is available while not overloading the route collector. The Route Collector in Amsterdam (RRC00) receives only full routing tables from its multi-hop BGP peers.

perlquestion OneTrueDabe
So I don't know if this belongs in SoPW or Meditations, but I stumbled across the following (what I would call) inconsistency, and wondered if anybody had an explanation...
 This does not work:  use strict 'vars'; BEGIN { *main::foo = \@main::foo } print "Foo: (@foo)\n"; __OUTPUT__ Variable "@foo" is not imported at foo.pl line 10. Global symbol "@foo" requires explicit package name at foo.pl line 10. foo.pl had compilation errors.  But this works fine:  use strict 'vars'; package somePkg; BEGIN { *main::foo = \@main::foo } package main; print "Foo: (@foo)\n";  Somewhat interestingly, this seems to work okay, too:  use strict 'vars'; # We're already in package main BEGIN { *pkg::foo = \@pkg::foo } package pkg; print "Foo: (@foo)\n";  And this fails, as well:  use strict 'vars'; package pkg; BEGIN { *pkg::foo = \@pkg::foo } print "Foo: (@foo)\n";  I noticed that running "<tt>perl -MO=Deparse</tt>" on the last snippet, above, shows the symbol table manipulation being (*cough*) "optimized" (*cough*) thusly:  package pkg; sub BEGIN { *foo = \@foo; }
Perhaps that's why "strict" doesn't allow me to access the unqualified "@foo" directly? Because -- since it's not in a different package -- something, somewhere, isn't creating the corresponding lexical alias? *Shrug*

Finally, this is mostly the same as number 2, above, which also works, but in the fewest lines:
  use strict 'vars'; BEGIN { package pkg; *main::foo = \@main::foo } print "Foo: (@foo)\n"; __OUTPUT__ Foo: ()
PS - Before you say "Just use 'our'" ...

Yes, I know. There's More Than One Way To Do It, and I'm MORE curious about the underlying question of why THIS way happens to fail.

Thanks! :-D

Pharmacy technicians thus certified must be recertified every 2 yrs after completing 20 hours of continuing education. They maintain small class sizes to make sure that each student receives all the personal attention that's needed to succeed in the highest level. A pharmacy, whether in a retail environment or create exclusively to supply supplies to your medical facility, must follow certain rules. Meadow's Pharmacy in Lewisville always uses great taste when presenting their items. When an individual comes up, they do not want to hear that you have never been aware of their medications.
For example, survival rate on developing CML inside the 60s was approximately three to five years but has grown to 90% on the years. Most technicians work being a cashier or count pills a pharmacist has dispensed. In relation to its work locations, pharmacy technicians operate in a clean, safe environment. You must Buy Clonazepam overnight fedex follow some important steps and you also can easily buy medicines.

Warning on Afghan factionalism
A report by the United States-based group, Human Rights Watch, says a rise in factional fighting in Afghanistan is threatening its reconstruction.
The organisation called on the international community to live up to its commitment to ensure peace and stability throughout Afghanistan.
A statement said the group had written to the United Nations Security Council calling for more foreign security forces and greater efforts to disarm factional militias.
It said immediate steps were needed to counter the problems caused by warlords and their supporters.
The warning came as an Afghan tribal council or Shura in the town of Gardez issued an ultimatum to a militia commander to surrender within a week or face war.
More security
Human Rights Watch said there had been several outbreaks of factional fighting in various parts of Afghanistan in recent weeks.
The situation in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif was particularly tense with opposing warlords pouring troops and tanks into the city.
"Security arrangements are needed to counter the power of armed factions and create space for a civilian leadership to emerge", said the group's Executive Director Kenneth Roth.
Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai and senior United Nations officials have publicly called for more international security forces to keep the warlords apart.
But Washington has not supported the expansion of the international force outside Kabul and member countries were reluctant to contribute more troops.
"If the international community doesn't take more effective steps immediately to establish security throughout Afghanistan", Mr Ross said, "the country is likely to return to the rampant human rights abuses and warlordism that characterised the last decade."
Meanwhile, the Shura in the Afghan town of Gardez in eastern Paktia province gave another week to militia commander Padshah Khan Zadran to surrender.
Padshah Khan's forces were involved in fighting in the town two weeks ago in which at least 25 people were killed.

The Real Housewives of Wasilla, Alaska?
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Sarah Palin, the former half-term Governor of Alaska, has inked a deal with Discovery Communications' The Learning Channel (TLC) for her very own reality show - one that will apparently spotlight the natural wonders of her beautiful home state.
Perhaps all of the irony is lost on Palin and the folks at TLC.
I find it hilarious that Palin, who couldn't complete a full term as Alaska Governor, will be headlining a reality show produced by Mark Burnett, the creator of CBS's Survivor?
The entire concept is just as funny, perhaps unintentionally. Palin, a contributor for the climate science denying Fox News Channel, someone with an appalling record when it comes to nature and the environment in her own right... hosting a show like this? It's almost too much.
What's next for TLC? A spin-off of NBC's The Marriage Ref hosted by Tiger Woods? Jon & Kate get back together in a touching reunion show live from a Tea Party protest?
As for Palin, her record on the environment speaks for itself and it doesn't have much that's nice to say.

CAMP Annual Report: Page 3
CAMP is an interdisciplinary science and engineering endeavor dedicated to research on high-technology materials processing. This research is focused on the production, modification and conversion of matter for which "small" particles, colloidal media and / or surfaces play an important role in the process and /or properties of the final product. Presented here are some highlights of the research during CAMP's twenty fourth year as a New York State Center for Advanced Technology.
CAMP Distinguished Professor Dan Goia is involved in the synthesis, characterization, and modification of ultra-fine and nanosize metallic and metal-composite particles with controlled size, shape, internal structure, composition, and surface properties. These materials are used extensively in established fields such as catalysis, electronics, and metallurgy as well as many emerging applications in medicine, biology, defense, energy generation, and magnetic storage. Presently, Professor Goia has several active government and industrial grants to develop materials for defense applications, PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) and solid oxide fuel cells, silicon based solar cells, plasma display panels, electromagnetic interference shielding, and metallurgical applications. Other current funded projects involve the development of screen printable conductive pastes for thick film microelectronics, silver dispersions for inkjet printable electronics, core-shell metallic particles for optical and catalytic applications and materials for high capacity energy storage/batteries.
Computational and Experimental Study of Ultraviolet Air Purification Systems
Cross bacterial contamination among patients in hospitals and medical facilities has been a serious issue. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) purification systems can effectively reduce these bacterial contaminants, but the efficiency of the systems is dependent on the airflow in and around these UVGI systems. Professor Goodarz Ahmadi, in collaboration with researchers at Syracuse University and at Haledyne, is working on improving the performance of the UVGI system developed by Haledyne LLC. The specific objective is to perform computational and experimental studies on the nature of air distribution around the device in a room. The goal is to improve the efficiency and optimize the energy usage of the UVGI system.
Investigation of Particle Resuspension by Walking on Floors in an Indoor Environment
Indoor air pollution is believed to be the cause of many respiratory health issues. The general goal of this project is to provide a fundamental understanding of particle resuspension in an indoor environment and its contribution to indoor air pollution. However, the effects of nature, of foot motion, the gait cycle, and in particular the electrostatic forces on particle detachment and resuspension, are not well understood. Professors Ferro and Ahmadi are using computation and experimental studies on the motion of a mechanical foot and the resulting resuspension from the floor. Particular attention is given to the electrostatic forces and airflow that are generated by walking on floors and their effects on particle detachment in indoor environments.

New tools make self-publishing e-books easier
Scott Nicholson, a prolific author with 70 books to date, has found most of his success online, selling self-published books at Amazon for the Kindle and other e-readers.
He handles the entire process himself — from downloading stock photos at $4 to $5 a pop and making covers in Gimp, a free photo software tool, to converting the manuscripts into formats compatible for the e-readers.
"If I can do it, anyone can," says Nicholson, 49, who writes four novels a year from his home in Boone, N.C. He won't say how much he makes, but it's a "comfortable living," solely on e-book royalties. "I'm self-taught on every part of this."
MORE: Talking Tech
Not everyone is as tech-savvy as Nicholson, and as willing to put in the extra hours. For those who would like some shortcuts, new tools are available to help authors with their conversions. Rates are relatively cheap, or free in Apple's case.
•Red Staple and Folium Book Studio, both released in January, offer self-service online tools to convert your books into the ePub format, which, in turn, can be uploaded for Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook, Apple's iPad and Sony's E-Reader, at varying prices. Red starts at $29.99, while Folium is $99.
That's the price for a basic book with mostly text and a cover you make yourself and upload.
What about for those who want to make an e-book that's a multimedia extravaganza?
Apple just released iBooks Author, a free software app for Apple computers that offers drag-and-drop self-publishing tools for Apple's iBooks bookstore. The app is available in Apple's App Store for Macintosh computers, where you'll need an operating system at least as current as 2009's Snow Leopard.
Even though the app is geared to textbook authors, writers of any stripe can add photos and video clips, though they must first be converted to Apple's preferred .m4v format in iTunes or QuickTime Player. Then it's a one-click upload to iBooks.
Amazon dominates the e-book industry, due to the popularity of its Kindle devices, and apps to read Kindle books on Apple, BlackBerry and Android devices. The company offers tips and detailed instructions for authors on how to format books at kdp.amazon.com. In a nutshell, Amazon wants the books written in the Word .doc format, not the newer Word .docx, then converted to the .HTML format that's standard on the Web.
Barnes & Noble's pubit.barnesand noble.com offers tons of tips for formatting and uploading, as well.
Lori Jordan, co-founder of Red Staple, says "giving authors a tool that doesn't require technical know-how will help them get their books out faster."
Romance author Virna DePaul converts her manuscripts from Word files to HTML, and while it took some time to figure things out, "Once you have somebody walk you through it, it's not hard at all," she says.
Once she's finished the HTML conversion, she then uses the free software tool Calibre to add in metadata, keywords, table of contents, chapter headings and online links. She saves the finished product in the .mobi format for Amazon and .epub for Apple, Barnes & Noble and Sony, and uploads them.
She's averaging $2,000 a month in royalties, not bad for unpublished novels. "It's found money," she says.
Mystery writer Lee Goldberg, a TV producer for shows such as Diagnosis Murder and Nero Wolfe, says his royalties for January alone were $60,000 — all for eight previously published but now out-of-print novels that he formatted and converted for sale at Amazon.
But unlike many DIY e-book authors, he feels the need to outsource the production work.
He pays $250 to a local service to format the book, $300 to a copy editor and $400 to an artist in New Zealand to make covers.
"If I made the cover, it would look like crap, and no one would buy it," he says.
Additionally, self-formatting can create issues with margins, indents and other minor mistakes, he says.
"You're competing on an equal level with James Patterson and Michael Connelly," says Goldberg. "That's the good news and bad news. Since it's a level playing field, readers expect you to have the same quality books."

Invensys Showcase 2002: Tightening customer partnerships
Orlando, FL —'Partnerships have been one of the most overworked and underfulfilled phrases in business today,' said Rick Haythornthwaite, ceo, Invensys plc (London, U.K.), in a Sept. 9 session, 'Partnering for Success,' which was part of the Invensys Showcase 2002 user conference and exposition here.
'We're putting you at center of our thinking,' he adds, explaining that he knows it's hard for customers to change as quickly as needed. Partners need to go beyond products and systems to understand customers' goals. Those that help measurably increase reliability and resource productivity will become indispensable, he says. Invensys' strengths include strong intellectual property, experience and industry knowledge in the right combination to generate economic value. A partnership also obviously requires far greater commitment on part of the customer and supplier, he adds.
Mr. Haythornthwaite notes that customers can expect a greater simplicity in transactions, most directly through a unified face of Invensys. He adds that customers need an integrated approach, on budget, with excellence in execution, insight, dialog and broader, deeper conversations with customers at all levels and functions, to understand strategic performance goals. That leaves customers free to build business with their customers. 'We have to ask, 'What are the real barriers to performance in my sector?' ' and ensure the customer has a seamless experience with Invensys, he concludes.
Mr. Haythornthwaite was appointed as Invensys' ceo on Oct. 1, 2001.

A bluesman's saloon inspiration
Paul Reddick, the local singer-songwriter and harmonica player, was just nominated for five Maple Blues Awards for his latest album Wishbone, a lyrical, rugged blues-rock affair. He speaks about the barrooms in which he wrote the songs – the east-end bohemian-styled places of Castro's Lounge (1611 Queen St. E.), The Only Cafe (972 Danforth Ave.) and Sauce (1376 Danforth Ave.)
"To write, I need to get out of the house, and there's a certain energy that happens in bars. I'm more in the world, which I think is important. I've read that ambient sound allows you to concentrate more. Occasionally as I was I was going over the syllables of things rhythmically in my head, I would put my finger in my ear. Mostly, though, I found that the music in the background didn't make much difference.
"One thing that the Only Cafe, Castro's and Sauce all have is art on the walls, done in salon style, floor to ceiling. When I would rest, I would stare at the paintings, which would sometimes influence what I wrote. All three bars play great music. The staff or the DJs are young; I would hear things I otherwise wouldn't. So, it's a setting where I feel my imagination is stimulated. Bars are imaginary places, and I try to set my songs in an imagined landscape that is romantic and exaggerated.
"I don't drink much. I'll have a whisky, which I let the bartender choose. Then maybe I'll have a beer. I'm a bad customer in fact. I would spend a lot of time there, but I don't drink much. I traded some of my own prints to Sauce, so I drank for free. I also downloaded tons of music for them. When I go there, they play my music. So, they have my prints up on the walls, and I brought books of poetry, short stories, dictionaries and art books with me. In a way, I'd created a living room for myself. All told, it was a very focused state – I was the last one to leave every night, scribbling madly. I didn't spend a lot, but I tipped well."
As told to Brad Wheeler
Paul Reddick and the Weber Brothers play the Dakota Tavern, Nov. 20 and 27, 10 p.m. $7. 249 Ossington Ave., 416-850-4579.
Film lessons from a producer
My, hasn't he done well for himself. For the Toronto European Union Film Festival, Nik Powell will give master classes on film producing (30 Lessons of a Producer, for the Producer) and screenwriting (A to Z of Story from a Producer's POV). "POV," of course, stands for point of view, which the savvy Powell has, and of which any film student, fanatic or careerist should be respectful.
Originally the Brit's business was music: In the 1970s he and Richard Branson co-founded Virgin Group, an entertainment conglomerate with famously galactic ambitions. In the early 1980s Powell turned his attention to film production, the result being his involvement in Company of Wolves, Scandal, The Crying Game, Twenty Four Seven, Little Voices, Calendar Girls and more. In 2003, he was named the director of the National Film and Television School, outside London.
In addition to the classes, the festival offers 30 films from 27 countries, all screened free at the Royal Cinema. Which ones to go see? Best ask Powell, as he seems to have a clue.
Screenwriter master class is on Nov. 18, 1 to 2:30 p.m., free (seating is for 150; first come, first serve); producer master class, Nov. 18, 3 to 5 p.m., free, Ryerson University, School of Image Arts, 122 Bond St., eutorontofilmfest.ca; Festival screenings, to Nov. 27. Free. Royal Cinema, 608 College St., 416-466-4400.
The Clock
Time is running out to see video artist Christian Marclay's precisely edited 24-hour jumble of visual material, classic films, forgotten mediocrities and television shows at the Power Plant.

Part 1
These rules are written for all disciples: Attend you to them.
Before the eyes can see, they must be incapable of tears. Before the ear can hear, it must have lost its sensitiveness. Before the voice can speak in the presence of the Masters, it must have lost the power to wound. Before the soul can stand in the presence of the Masters, its feet must be washed in the blood of the heart.
1. Kill out ambition.
Ambition is the first curse: the great tempter of the man who is rising above his fellows. It is the simplest form of looking for reward. Men of intelligence and power are led away from their higher possibilities by it continually. Yet it is a necessary teacher. Its results turn to dust and ashes in the mouth; like death and estrangement, it shows the man at last that to work for self is to work for disappointment.
I called you and you have come. To come outwardly is very easy but until you also come to me inwardly, your outer coming or not coming does not have much meaning. One who can come outwardly, who has a thirst and longing, can also come from the inside too. The outer coming is a proof that you are searching, but that proof alone is not enough. It is an indication, and it is a good indication; it is necessary, but it is not enough. You have to come inwardly too. And before that inner journey can begin, it is necessary for you to understand a few things about yourself - because it is you who will make this journey. No one else can make this journey on your behalf. In this world, it is not possible to see with someone else's eyes, nor is it possible to walk with someone else's feet. Here, you have to die for yourself and you have to live for yourself. Here, nobody can take your place.
That is why it is necessary first of all to understand a few things about yourself - because if there is a misconception about that, then even a right path will take you to a wrong place. If you do not have the right understanding about yourself, you will turn even a right path into one that takes you to the wrong destination. And if you have a right understanding about yourself, then there is no path that will not take you to the right place. Even wrong paths can reach to the right destination; what is needed is the right traveler. It all depends on the traveler. It is not the path that takes the traveler to the destination, it is the traveler who reaches.
The path changes in accordance with you. As you are, so becomes the path. That is why there are no ready-made paths on which you can walk blindly.

800 calories a day less, and women never missed them
Nov. 18,
Courtesy Penn State University
and World Science staff
Cutting back on calories can be quite painless, researchers have found. Pennsylvania State
University researchers made minor changes in young women's meals, and reported
that the women ate 800 calories less per day and felt just as full and satisfied.
The dietary changes were simple. They involved
serving the same foods, but with a slightly smaller portion size and a higher
proportion of vegetables and fruit.
Barbara Rolls, who holds the Guthrie Chair of Nutrition in
the university's College of Health and Human Development, directed the study. She says, "We lowered the energy density, or calories per gram, of the participants' meals by incorporating more vegetables and fruit in recipes and also using food products reduced in fat and sugar. The subjects found the smaller, lower energy density meals just as palatable, filling and satisfying as the big, high calorie menu items -- and they didn't compensate for lowered intake on the first day by eating more on the second day of the study."
Rolls detailed the study results Monday, Nov. 15 at the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity
in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA).
In the study, on two consecutive days in each of four weeks, 24 young women, ages 19 to 35, ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in
the university's Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior. They also received evening snacks to take home.
The same two-day menu was served in all weeks but the foods were varied in energy density and portion size. The meals were either standard or reduced by 30 percent in energy density
(calories per unit weight) or reduced 25 percent in portion size or both.
Reducing the energy density of foods by 30 percent led to a 23 percent decrease in daily calorie intake. Reducing the portion size by 25 percent led to a 12 percent decrease in calorie intake. Despite the large variation in intake, there were no significant differences in ratings of hunger or fullness over the two days.
Rolls notes, "This study shows that even small reductions in the energy density or portion size of foods are likely to decrease energy intake. The results suggests that home cooks and restaurants could take an easy step toward obesity prevention by adding more fruits and vegetables and trimming the fat to decrease energy density without having to serve tiny portions."
Reducing energy density is the key to Rolls' eating plan and the subject of her best-selling book, The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan. In March 2005, Harper Collins will publish The Volumetrics Eating Plan, a new cookbook and lifestyle guide based on Roll's research. The new guide will contain menu planners, charts and sidebars on healthy food choices, 44 color photographs, and 125 recipes that translate Rolls' research into practical advice.

Iran is likely to be a huge source of revenue for Russian weapons over the next few years and the Kremlin is eager to checkmate every step that the US can use to increase its influence in the region.

Duquesne falls on the road at Old Dominion
NORFOLK, Va. — On various possessions by their opponents, Old Dominion's players slap the floor in unison, signaling their readiness on defense.
Something must be working for the Monarchs, who lead Division I in scoring defense (53.9 ppg.) and limited Duquesne to roughly that identical average Wednesday night.
Gerald Lee scored 24 points and Old Dominion continually blunted Duquesne's second-half comeback attempts to beat the Dukes, 63-54, at the Ted Constant Convocation Center. It was Duquesne's final nonconference tuneup before opening Atlantic 10 Conference play in a week.
"This was the type of game we expected. It was a war," Duquesne coach Ron Everhart said. "This is the type of game we wanted before we get into the A-10."
The Dukes (9-5), who nearly got a triple-double from junior forward Damian Saunders, entertain Richmond on Wednesday night at Palumbo Center to start league play.
"Early in the game, in the first half, they were bumping us around pretty good," Lee said of the Dukes. "We talked about that at halftime. We knew they were going to be a real scrappy bunch and we had to be prepared."
Duquesne led very early and was tied with Old Dominion (9-4) at 23-23 before the Monarchs scored the final five points of the first half to take a 28-23 lead.
Three times, Old Dominion led by 11 points in the second half, only to allow Duquesne to close the gap. The Dukes were only a basket or two from catching the Monarchs time and again.
B.J. Monteiro's jumper at the 10:14 mark pulled Duquesne within 42-39, and a dunk by freshman Sean Johnson, who scored a career-high 17 points, made it 44-41 with 9:14 to go.
Lee's jumper and a 3-point shot by Ben Finney gave Old Dominion a 49-41 lead, though, and Duquesne could get no closer than four points the rest of the way.
The game was far different for Duquesne than its 86-60 home loss to the Monarchs last season, even if the ultimate result was the same.
"We had that game last year up there where everything came up roses," Old Dominion coach Blaine Taylor said. "We had to kind of find a way to win tonight."
And the Monarchs did, winning their second game against an A-10 in four tries this season. Old Dominion routed Charlotte and lost close games to Dayton and Richmond.
Saunders finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high nine blocked shots, and Eric Evans and Bill Clark, who played just 20 minutes because of foul trouble, scored 10 points each for Duquesne.
It was Saunders' 11th double-double of the season, the most by a Duquesne player since Derrick Alston produced 12 in 1992-93.
"He's a mobile guy. I just tried the best I could to keep him off the glass," Old Dominion's 6-foot- 8 Keyon Carter said of the 6-7 Saunders. Carter plucked nine rebounds but shot just 2 for 12 and had five points.
Duquesne was playing its 12th consecutive game without injured sophomore Melquan Bolding, a starting guard who scored 25 points in the Dukes' opener against Nicholls State but hasn't played since following wrist surgery.
Bolding has begun light workouts with the team, but Everhart said he is unsure of a return date.
"He's going to need some more rehab, but we're letting him dribble and do some other things. It's really tender there."
Bolding had a screw inserted into his right (shooting) wrist in November and has been wearing a cast for much of the time since.
"We miss him, that's for sure, but we've just had to play on," Saunders said. "I think the effort tonight was there. The veteran guys — guys like me, Billy Clark and Jason Duty — have to control everybody. This is still a learning process for a lot of guys. We've got to get better with the A-10 coming up."
Duquesne, ranked in a tie for 22nd in field-goal defense (37.6), limited Old Dominion to 35.4-percent shooting (23 for 65), including 3 of 16 (18.8) from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Dukes had their own troubles, hitting just 19 of 59 (32.2 percent), 2 of 18 3-pointers (11.1).
"We had our chances to tie, but we took some bad shots," Everhart said. "It was a tough trip for us. Effort-wise, we played well enough to win. Defensively, we played well enough to win. We just had too many turnovers (20)."

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has begun the process to get competitive bids for new mobile broadband subsidies designed to bring 3G or 4G service to areas in the country that do not have it.
The FCC on Wednesday announced bidding procedures for the first phase of its new Mobility Fund and released a map of areas eligible for Mobility Fund service. The map includes large areas if the U.S. Mountain West, including large parts of Idaho, Nevada, Washington state, and large parts of Alaska. But several areas in the eastern United States are also eligible, including large chunks of West Virginia, northern New York, and Maine.
[ Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's 29-page "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
The Mobility Fund, created in 2011 as part if the FCC's revamp of telephone subsidies under the Universal Service Fund, will award up to $300 million to mobile providers that bring service to new areas. Winning bidders must deploy either 3G service within two years or 4G service within three years of the award.
With the launch of the Mobility Fund, the FCC has recognized mobile service as a universal service priority for the first time, said FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.
"For too many dead zones in mobile coverage are too common, and today's action will help close those gaps," Genachowski said in a statement. "By using market-based mechanisms, we'll ensure more gaps in mobile coverage are closed and that every dollar is spent wisely and efficiently."
The FCC will award the funds in a reverse auction, in which mobile providers will compete to be the lowest-priced provider to bring service to an area. Bidders will compete both with others that may be seeking support in the same area, but also with carriers bidding for support in other areas.
The FCC on Wednesday released a public notice detailing the procedures for Phase I of the Mobility Fund. The window for filing short-form applications opens on June 27 and closes on July 11. The auction will be a single-round, sealed-bid auction, and the FCC will require that the winning bidders provide coverage to at least 75 percent of the road miles in each census tract for which they win support.
In addition to the Phase I funding, the FCC will also offer an additional $50 million in one-time support to tribal lands and $500 million each year for ongoing support of mobile services.

But what about terrorists utilizing mosquitos to spread a virus? That's the type of bio-warfare the University of Pittsburgh Center for Vaccine Research is focusing on fighting. A $7.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, allows researchers to accelerate the development of drugs and vaccines against alphaviruses, a group of about 30 different viruses that are mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. Pitt Researchers Make Discovery About Deadly Mosquito-Borne Virus By Jessica Nath • Jan 13, 2014 You might not have ever heard of eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) — it only affects five to 30 people in the United States annually — but it kills about half the people it infects, doesn't have a cure and is becoming more common. That's according to William Klimstra, who, along with other University of Pittsburgh researchers, has made a major discovery that could lead to possible treatment for and prevention against the mosquito-borne virus.

He's released popular parody songs on YouTube about Canberra Raiders cult heroes Reece Robinson and Josh Papalii, but Queanbeyan's Nick Risteski says his tune about sacked Raiders fullback Josh Dugan will remain an ''unreleased B-Side''.
''The first song I did was U2's 'With or without you' to the words ''We can't win, with or without Duges,'' Risteski says, laughing.
''But it was a bit negative, I want to show support for the club.''
Risteski, 29 and a former Raiders junior, is such a Green Machine tragic that he claims his first ever memory was watching the Raiders lose the 1987 grand final to Manly.
Inspired to try and give Raiders players the same cult status they enjoyed in Canberra during the 90s, Risteski has taken to a makeshift studio at his home in Queanbeyan, releasing two tunes already.
The first one was about Raiders fullback Reece Robinson – dubbed Reece Lightning – to the tune of 'Greased Lightning'.
The second, posted this week, is a tribute to Raiders hitman Josh Papalii, to the music of the Beastie Boys classic 'You gotta fight for your right to party'.
''You'll get a fright, on the right, with Papalii,'' the remodelled lyrics go.
Risteski, who drives the Black Thunder van for radio station 104.7, writes the lyrics to and puts his own voice to the songs.
Good mates with Raiders skipper Terry Campese, Risteski has received great feedback from Green Machine fans and even the players.
''The players love it, they're all retweeting it,'' Risteski said.
The boys put that [Robinson] song on when they were all at training before a video session, apparently they loved it and Reecey got really embarrassed.Nick Risteski
''The boys put that [Robinson] song on when they were all at training before a video session, apparently they loved it and Reecey got really embarrassed.''
Risteski is also a huge music fan and combined both loves when he presented music legend Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a Raiders jersey during a holiday to the NSW South Coast in January.
There are more clips and songs about Raiders players in the pipeline too.
''I've got one down for Campo, Sandor [Earl] and Fergo [Blake Ferguson] ... I thought of one about [Jarrod] Croker in the shower this morning.
''I grew up in the 90s when the all-stars were here – Mal Meninga, Laurie Daley, Ricky Stuart – when the Raiders were dominating. ''There was so much character and presence for the Green Machine. They've kind of lost that identity and I want to get that back.
''If I can influence people to get the Raiders back in the consciousness of Canberra again and have a bit of fun and humour with it – like Billy Birmingham did with the cricket commentary – it could give them a bit of a cult following, it'll get that buzz into town."
Who do you think the next song should be about, and what tune should it be set to? Let us know in the comments.

A lot of us will be there Tuesday again to work on things that need to be done before our next launch on Saturday. ĀIt would probably be a good time to get together (probably after the meeting) and talk about stuff. Ā

I like the idea of the concrete stuff for anchors, although I suspect they're more worried about the tethers themselves. ĀDo you know where we could borrow something like that? ĀWe'd definitely want to give it back when we're done.

If I recall, we could have 15lbs of lift with this thing fully inflated. ĀOur weight restrictions with regular launches have more to do with FAA regulation than concerns about lift.

 Chris: thanks for the awesome volunteering of your robot. Are you OK
 with massive and possibly unreversable modifications?

 I'm interested in helping out but can't be "point person" due to other
 commitments. (If nobody steps up this may die a natural death from
 entropy).

 Here's an idea: modify Chris' Spykee Āto eliminate all unused weight
 (shell, motors, etc.)
 It's possible we can repurpose the motor drivers for a camera pan-tilt
 platform which would be neat.

 Is anyone on the Spacebridge team that can give an estimate of balloon
 payload capacity? (I'm not on the mailing list). ĀMight want to add
 stuff like a better antenna and more batteries.

 I'd be available a night or two for some Spykee surgery. (Let's call
 it Laikee, after Laika, the first dog in space). Someone still needs
 to wrangle balloon+tether technology, wifi downlink and Yuri's night
 paperwork. It would be a good idea to test: maybe during a Spacebridge
 test while the balloon is gassed up anyway?

1. Tennessee Senate votes to allow open carry of guns without a permit : The Tennessee Senate approved a bill Tuesday that would let gun owners carry their weapons openly without a permit. Lawmakers voted 25-2 to pass a measure filed by state Sen. Mae Beavers that would do away with the requirement that gun owners go through a background check, receive training and obtain a permit before carrying a handgun in public. Gun owners would have to get a permit only if they plan to conceal their weapons."
2. The USA: Worst Government That Money Can Buy : "History tells us that when governments become excessively oppressive and/or descend into saturation corruption (like the rancid regimes of the Western bloc), that such scenarios rarely "end well" – i.e. a peaceful transition back to responsible, legitimate government. Instead, the peasants/serfs/workers are nearly always driven to a state of desperation (generally near-starvation) before they finally pull out their pitchforks and guillotines, and take back their own government."
3. How long until the american economy collapses : "The American government is digging itself into a hole. Every year it's flooding more and more money into "stimulus" that doesn't work. The debt and unfunded liabilities (otherwise known as debt and more debt to the average person) is at a level that can never be practically paid off. Short of a few miracles, the collapse is inevitable."
4. Preppers, prepare more: 16 major retail chains closing stores across America : "Preppers, prepare more. Here is a report showing the continued decline of the U.S. economy. It is not just small businesses being hit by the increase in over taxation and over regulation. Here are 16 large retail chains either significantly cutting their business locations or on the brink of going out of business all together. All of these businesses are laying off large numbers of workers."
5. Last Man Standing : "A two-decades-old battle between a Nevada rancher and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has resulted in officials armed with machine guns surrounding the ranch and forcibly removing the owner's cattle, according to the rancher's family."

The 'Two and a Half Men' lead actor cites irreconcilable differences as the reason of his split from Demi Moore and requests that both parties to pay their own legal fees.
Ashton Kutcher officially submits a legal request for dissolution of marriage, more than a year after his estranged wife Demi Moore announced their separation. He filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, December 21 under the name of Christopher A. Kutcher.
The "Two and a Half Men" actor, who is currently romancing his former "That '70s Show" co-star Mila Kunis, is citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. Date of the separation is to be determined and property rights of each are to be worked out later.
Ashton hires A-list celeb divorce attorney Laura Wasser to represent him. The 34-year-old actor, who's hailed the 2012 highest-paid TV actor with an estimated income of $24 million, isn't asking spousal support from Demi and requests that each party pay their own legal fees.
Demi, 50, called it quits with Ashton in November 2011 after six years of marriage. According to TMZ, the former "Punk'd" host waited for his ex to file for divorce first. When there's no sign that the mother of three would do such thing, he decided to make the move.
"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton," Demi said when announcing their split. "As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."
Ashton, who was rumored cheating on her back then, chimed in his own statement posted on Twitter. "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and light, AK," he wrote.

After a string of successful, male-dominated, R-rated comedies like "The 40 Year Old Virgin", "Hot Tub Time Machine", and two installments of "The Hangover", we now have "Bridesmaids", the closest female equivalent to those kind of movies that typically features humor derived from sex, drinking, all manner of bodily functions, and not much else. However, "Bridesmaids", like "The 40 Year Old Virgin", distinguishes itself from the rest by possessing heart, and a great story about friendship and love.
The movie was produced by Judd Apatow, the man behind "Virgin", "Knocked Up", "Funny People" and about a dozen other hit comedies. If you don't know Apatow by name, you've at least seen one of the movies he has produced or directed. "Bridesmaids" is directed by Paul Fieg in his feature film directorial debut, and he does a fine job balancing the humor with the heart. But truthfully, the real credit goes to Kristin Wiig, of "Saturday Night Live" fame, who stars in the movie and also co-wrote the script.
Wiig plays Annie, who has just learned that her life-long friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married and wants Annie to be her maid of honor. Annie's life is stuck in neutral since her bakery went out of business. But she puts her problems aside to focus on planning showers and dinners for her friend, the happy bride-to-be. Then Annie meets the glamorous and wealthy Helen (Rose Byrne), Lillian's new friend. Annie can't help but compare lifestyles, and she worries that Lillian will grow distant from her after the wedding. A rivalry quickly develops between Annie and Helen for the title of Lillian's best-friend.
Along the way we meet the other bridesmaids, each played by a woman best known for her role on TV. In addition to Wiig and Rudolph ("SNL"), and Byrne ("Damages"), we are treated to Melissa McCarthy ("Mike & Molly"), Wendi McLendon-Covey ("Reno 911") and Ellie Kemper ("The Office"). McCarthy, McLendon-Covey and Kemper play the groom's sister; a foul-mouthed mother to teenaged boys; and a newlywed wife. While the story centers on Annie and Lillian's friendship, there's humor to mine from these lesser characters, providing lots of laughs. Wiig shows that she is talented enough to carry a movie and Rudolph does a good job as the sane one of the group.
"Bridesmaids" is not simply "The Hangover" for women, it's better. The subplot of Annie and Nathan, a highway patrolman she flirts with, adds a good romantic angle to the story. And the comedy provides some of the best laughs of the year. A warning:"Bridesmaids" is rated R for a reason. These women say and do some pretty foul things in the name of comedy, but it may not be your family's kind of humor.
"Bridesmaids" is available today to rent or buy in DVD and Blu-ray format.

text: Could someone help me with the formula to find the cubic feet total amount of water to water a square ft at .5" of water. This would be helpful in calculation the relative cost to run an irrigation system for a given square ft area. I have formulas to figure it out once its designed, but would like to have it based on sq ft. to use as a rough estimate. I'm sure I'm just being dense, your help is apreciated.

Don't look now, but Toyota's Prius now is the world's third best-selling car line.
The Prius, which now includes four versions in the U.S., raced to third place in the first quarter, Bloomberg News reports. It's proof that the Prius has crossed deeply into the mainstream.
Prius' popularity isn't all its own doing. In Japan, consumers can get a $2,500 discount when they buy a Prius.
"It proves Prius wasn't a fluke, that there's a long-term market for hybrids," Bloomberg quotes Eric Noble, president of the Car Lab, an automotive consultancy in Orange, Calif., as saying.
