Canadian Fires Are Giving Sioux Falls a Cloudy Day
Smoke from fires in northern Manitoba are giving us milky skies today, but still expect to be close to 80 degrees. http://t.co/WRnjlCOZhc
— NWS Sioux Falls (@NWSSiouxFalls) June 30, 2013
It's not necessarily a cloudy Sunday. The National Weather Service in Sioux Falls reports that smoke from some big fires in northern Manitoba, Canada is causing the milky white skies today. It could also lead to a very colorful sunset.

February 08, 2012
Oxytocin is well researched as a hormone that controls the process of birth and maternal milk flow. It also influences the bond between mother and child and, according to recent studies, our social behaviour in general, for example our trust in other people, loyalty and how we react when we are afraid. The neuropeptide is formed in the neurons of the hypothalamus, the control centre of our vegetative nervous system, and reaches the pituitary gland (hypophysis) via neuronal extensions, where it is stored temporarily and released into the blood when required. The hormone then reaches the target organs, like the womb and mammary glands, via the blood.
But how does the oxytocin reach the central areas of the brain that can control behaviour, for example the amygdala, the part of the brain where fear and stress are controlled? The long-accepted hypothesis that the hormone is released by the dendrites of the neurons in the hypothalamus and reaches the central areas of the brain through diffusion, was not confirmed by the current study. "We were able to see from brain slices that the oxytocin from the neurons in the hypothalamus is transported directly to the target area via ramified and very long axons. From there, it is released locally," explains Peter H. Seeburg, Director of the Molecular Neurobiology Department at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research. "Moreover, we were able to demonstrate, using behavioural tests, that the hormone released locally in the amygdala actually triggers a fear-attenuating response."
The scientists used a combination of methods in their study: in addition to behavioural tests, they also availed of anatomical, electrophysiological and optical processes. They rendered the oxytocin-producing neurons (OT neurons) and their extensions visible in living animals using the photosensitive protein channelrhodopsin. "What is special about channelrhodopsin is that it activates the neuron when switched on by blue light", says Max Planck Research Group Leader Valery Grinevich in explanation of the ingenious method used. To use this light switch, the researchers specifically introduced the gene for channelrhodopsin and a fluorescent protein into OT neurons. This enabled them to observe these neurons and their extensions under the fluorescence microscope and activate them using blue light.
In the brain slices, the scientists were not only able to demonstrate the path taken by the oxytocin, they were also able to confirm that the locally released oxytocin has an inhibiting influence on the neurons of the amgydala through the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). The researchers deliberately triggered the release of oxytocin in the amygdala of living animals using blue light, and thereby succeeded in directly attenuating a previously induced state of fear in the rats.
The scientists found the axons of OT neurons from the hypothalamus not only in the amygdala, but also in many other regions of the basal forebrain. This raises the question as to whether the brain has a kind of circuit diagram, based upon which the neurons transmit the versatile hormone to the various target sites. Another question that remains unclear is when the oxytocin opts for the path to the blood via the hypophysis, and when it reaches the regions of the brain that control our behaviour via the neuronal axons and their branches.
Thanks to the new OT-neuron-specific gene constructs, the scientists now have a tool at their disposal with which they can study oxytocin and its effects on behaviour in different regions of the brain in detail for the first time. This could have important consequences for behavioural therapy. Other scientists are already trying to influence behaviour positively using the hormone in the form of nasal sprays. Grinevich remains sceptical about this approach, however: "We still have no proof that oxytocin can reach the brain in this simple way." Thus, a substance that kindles love when dribbled into the eyes or nose, as in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is likely to remain a poetic invention for some time to come.

The 20th Anniversary of Raw - Boring!
by, 01-15-2013 at 07:20 PM (7713 Views)
A little bit about myself to give you an idea of how I can (or can't) enjoy wrestling; just-turned-19-year-old studying full-time at university in England.
This means I can hardly ever watch RAW live as it ends at around 4.15 AM and I often wake up 3 hours later. So, I usually find myself checking the results on EWN and deciding whether or not it is worth watching. How many times does this happen? I'd say literally about 1 out of 15 times. Yep. So this is written in the POV of a 25% hardcore, 75% casual viewer.
So, anyway, the 20th Anniversary of Monday Night RAW! Thought this should be good... So I stayed up, and instead of revising for an exam I had the next day (which I was soooo behind on) I chose to watch it.
Opening Title/Theme:
This was a pleasant surprise! Really seemed to set the mood for what was surely going to be an epic night, reminiscent of the past 20 years!
No classic or special 20th Anniversary stage? Okay...
JBL is here! Nice! But no JR?
First Segment:
So, Vinny Mac comes out and says his thankyou's... then calls himself a genius. Okay. He then announces a match between Ziggler and Cena. Come on Vince, we've seen that a hundred times already! But he has something up his sleeve... a CAGE MATCH! Yay.Then Big Show comes out and gives his boring heel crap.. and this new Face ADR interrupts! Don't know about this face turn, not sure if it will work. Anyways, standard heel-face interaction with ADR coming out on top blah blah blah.
Nothing really of interest then. Moving on...
RAW Moment: Bob Barker
I thought it was a nice touch to relive some (surely to most) classic moments.
Orton vs Barrett:
Decent match (for WWE standards), happy for Barrett to pick up the win! Still surely not a RAW worth missing revision time for?
Eve/Booker/T-Lo backstage:
Expected Booker to add the "loser fired" stipulation after reading the online reports but no, just the "stripped of the title if you get DQ'd" stipulation.
Kane/Bryan backstage:
Okay, these guys are hilarious! Fun segment. Still think DB needs to at least trim, if not shave, that beard off! Guy looks like a Highlander! If you don't know who they are, you need to watch some old RAW shows... Wait a sec, where are the old faces of the past 20 years?? Hmmm...
Kane vs Sandow:
At this point in time I thought it's best to look through some revision material I'd brought with me, after all it'll be a standard WWE slow match. Did make me miss most of the match... Stopped taking notes because of it, didn't wanna miss more than I already had, although I don't think I missed much.
Mick Foley inducted into HOF:
About time! This man is a real legend of wrestling. Hopefully some fun interaction with some legends of the past! But no, it's The Shield. And they beat poor Mick up. I wonder who's going to save the day... Ryback obvsiously! With back-up in the form of Sheamus. Seriously, how many thousand more times do we have to see this exact same thing??? Was getting pretty frustrated at this point, had my revision material put away for this segment.
The little video package of gimmicks was hilarious! A nice little walk through memory lane! Although some were unrecognisable to me... A little before my time perhaps, but looked ridiculous nonetheless! Maybe a gimmick battle royal?! Obviously not...
Starting to think this is a regular RAW.
Eve vs Kaitlyn:
I'm not going to even pretend here. I revised for this match but kept an eye on the ending, to see Eve's reported leave from WWE. But it didn't happen. Okay then... Maybe she's not going this week (or preferably ever )
Raw Moment: Donald Trump vs Vince.
Good times
Punk vs Brodus Clay:
Match was decent to be fair. But no real substance to it. Did it tell an in-ring story?
Promo: standard (but good) Punk trash talk. If there's any UK football fans out there, it was quite reminiscent of Rafa's famous "Facts" rant on Fergie!
Another nice RAW moments package, this tiem on vehicular moments. Taking this as confirmation that there'll be no returning legends then. But there's still the Rock Concert to look forward to! And nice little recap anyways.
Mick/Rock/Vickie segment was funny and I enjoyed that! Rock n' sock had some good times!
Sheamus vs 3MB Over the Top Rope Challenge:
Seriously, what are a redneck, Scot and Indian doing together in a rock band? It is literally one of the worst groups in WWE history that I can think of. Did a bit more revision here.
Cena interview (by Josh Matthews):
Actually found this pretty funny with the namedrops and mentioning WW Federation, which I didn't think I'd ever hear again tbh! But was otherwise a Standard SuperCena promo.
Uh oh. MizTV:
Okay, straight up. Miz is my most hated wrestler to ever "grace" a wrestling ring. Harsh you might say. Why on earth is that AS93? Here's why: most of you agree that David Arquette winning the WCW title was plain ridiculous right? He was just an actor right? Well so is Miz. He can't wrestle for sh*t. All he does is cut promos and host a in-ring talkshow every week.
Anyways here's Ric Flair with Miz on yet another MizTV... I thought (hopefully) that a few legends or old faces might come out but I just got false hopes... But was a fun/interesting segment anyway, along with the ever-impressing Cesaro, even thought it did seem to drag with pointless chat. However, I'd just like to point out that Miz is simply not a face and does not pull it off whatsoever in my (biased) opinion.
Bryan vs Rhodes:
Again, did some revision, I'm guilty! This cut right through to Jim Ross' arrival, but I did see the news on Eve...
Who reveals on the WWE app she quits. Well that's a dignified way to leave the company. You will be missed Eve.
But good ol' JR! Wouldn't be the same without this man!
Ziggler vs Cena:
Actually a pretty decent match for WWE standards, and considering we've seen these two wrestle like every week for the past 2 months. Big E. Langston on the outside provided a different flavour.
Rock Concert:
I was looking forward to this, however, using the Rock to sing isn't using him in his best capacity in my opinion. I was still hopeful this would be an epic segment with a big celebratory finale.
Well his rip on Heyman was hilarious! As was his destruction of Vickie! But irrelevant, let's be honest...
And his confrontation with Punk was heated and added a little bite to the feud. But that's it.
Another abysmal RAW. I was so disappointed in missing out lots of valuable revision watching this pile of crap. Expected waaaay too much from WWE. Even as a regular RAW it was tiresome, let alone for the 20 year anniversary! WWE have no creativity whatsoever with their advancing of rivalries and storylines, and their matches are hardly ever worth watching! The surprise factor is also so underutilised. Fix up WWE.
But thanks for reading! And go easy, never written a blog before!

Social Venture Network Offsets Global Warming Pollution
Tuesday, 20 September 2011
San Francisco, CA. April 4, 2006 – The Social Venture Network (SVN), a network of business leaders committed to building a just and sustainable world, plans to make its annual member gathering carbon neutral with Carbonfund.org, as a practical step to combat global warming. "We're very pleased to partner with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon emission impact of our conference and help take action against climate change," said Deborah Nelson, co-executive director of SVN." This year's annual meeting, being held in Kennebunkport, Maine April 20 through 23, will focus on the power of connection and innovation. Among the noted speakers will be Steve Case, CEO of Revolution and former CEO and Chairman of AOL, and Gloria Steinem, co-founder of Ms. Magazine.
With some 250 people attending and traveling to Kennebunkport, the event will produce carbon emissions caused by air travel, ground transportation, and the use of facilities in the hotel. Carbonfund.org and SVN will offset the carbon dioxide emissions by supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency projects, and reforestation projects that reduce an equal amount of emissions. SVN is committed to accounting for its carbon expenditures.
"Social Venture Network is taking an excellent and practical step by offsetting their emissions from this conference with Carbonfund.org," says Lesley Marcus Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We are extremely pleased that such a fantastic group of business leaders are taking this step, and we hope that the rest of the business community is not far behind."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets – also called renewable energy certificates and 'green tags' – enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant that powers a home. Social Venture Network, via Carbonfund.org, is supporting wind and energy efficiency projects that subsidize the cost of clean, renewable energy that also helps further the technology.
The average American is directly responsible for about 10 tons of carbon dioxide annually through their home, car and air travel, and their average total annual impact rises to an average of 24 tons when factoring in the purchase of goods and services. Conferences, with the heavy reliance on air travel and other transportation, are an easy first step for any organization that wants to offset their carbon emissions. Because conferences also bring decision makers together, for Carbonfund.org, it is an excellent opportunity to educate and demonstrate that being responsible is both simple and environmentally effective.
About Social Venture Network
Founded in 1987 by some of the nation's most visionary leaders in socially responsible business, SVN (http://www.svn.org) is a non-profit network of leaders committed to building a just and sustainable world through business. SVN promotes new models of leadership for socially and environmentally sustainable business through its network of nearly 400 business owners, investors and nonprofit executives.

I don't believe the absorption jhanas fit into his view of the middle way and therefore would not be considered right concentration.
Mojo wrote:an absorption jhana... such a high level of concentration that one is not affected by the five hindrances during that period... while in that intense concentration they weren't able to loosen the bonds of the five hindrances.
I suppose a vipassana jhana would be a level of concentration where one was able to move with and examine and let go of each object as it arose without greeting caught up in a ten minute session of planning a vacation or daydreaming or similar so they can realistically work towards a full and lasting emancipation from the hindrances.
daverupa wrote:I don't understand, I'm sorry.
How can there be a temporary removal of the hindrances if they aren't also loosened?
I think you might be suggesting that this sort of jhana isn't helpful with respect to addressing the hindrances, but satipatthana is for removing the hindrances and developing the awakening factors;
the breath absorption techniques that were both prominent during his time
Three discourses in the Bojjhanga-samyutta present the claims of non-Buddhist wanderers to develop Buddhist-style meditation. They say they exhort their disciples to abandon the five hindrances and to develop, in two cases, the seven enlightenment-factors,[ 216] and in a third case, the four divine abidings. [217] Elsewhere too the divine abidings are attributed to great sages of the past, notably the Buddha in past lives.[218] However, although these were indeed later appropriated by the Brahmanical tradition, they are not attested in any pre-Buddhist texts. The enlightenment-factors include mindfulness and investigation of dhammas, which is equivalent to vipassana, as well as samadhi. The wanderers ask, then,what is the difference between their teaching and the Buddha's? Interestingly enough, the Buddha responds, not by referring to, say, the four noble truths, not-self, or dependent origination, but by claiming that the wanderers do not fully understand samadhi practice in all details. This is probably what the Buddha was referring to when he claimed elsewhere to have 'awakened to jhana' (jhanam abujjhi);[219] not that he was the first to practice jhana, but that he was the first to fully comprehend both the benefits and the limitations of such experiences. (p. 98)
Mojo wrote:porpoise wrote:Could you describe how simultaneous development of the 4 tetrads works in practice? And how does this differ from general mindfulness off the cushion?
Perhaps a poor word choice on my part. Think of it as seated satipatthana with breathing as the foundation where each tetrad is comprised of concrete and abstract examples of each foundation of mindfulness with instructions to be aware of the nature of object mindfulness that arises and to then let go of the grip that we have on that object. An object might arise from any of the four foundations at any time.
So you aren't developing the tetrads. You are working in them - any one of them at any given time. If no other object of mindfulness is present, then go back to your foundation - the breath.

In the still winter air of a quiet Dutch village, the scenes of violence and war being described to me seem barely believable.
In gentle tones, an elderly man is telling me about the last moments of my great-uncle's life. As I listen, the story of a country boy from NSW who joined the Royal Air Force and sought adventure over the skies of Europe comes into sometimes unsettling focus.
''The plane tried to make a crash landing, but a bullet hit the petrol tank and it exploded above our village. Debris and bodies went everywhere,'' 89-year-old Philip Timmerman tells me. ''That is where your uncle landed,'' he says, pointing to what is now a parking space outside a neat row of houses with well-manicured lawns.
Timmerman is describing what he saw on the night of January 30, 1944, as we sit in a car just outside the small fishing village of Kolhorn in the north of the Netherlands, population 690.
''I could see he had tried to deploy his parachute, but the cord was burnt through. His body made a dent in the ground from the impact of the fall, but he was still completely intact. Just the front of his hair was burned. He had red hair, didn't he?''
I don't know - I have only ever seen black-and-white photos of my great-uncle Eric. It could have been red. These minute details are becoming discomforting, inviting me into a story that had always seemed like a myth.
What was my great-uncle thinking that night? That sooner or later it would have come to this, as it had for so many other aircrews? Was he scared? Was he calm?
Did he have time to wish he'd never left his home in Sebastopol, in the Riverina district, for this war in Europe? Or was it all a great, heroic adventure for a young farmer, described by all who knew him as full of life?
Eric volunteered for an RAF Pathfinder squadron. Its task was to go ahead and light the target for the following bombers.
The casualty rate was horrendous. Of the 156,000 aircrew who served in Bomber Command, 56,000 were killed.
My family has been making the pilgrimage to Kolhorn since 1948, when my grandmother came to visit the grave of her brother. She died five years ago. Out of duty to her, I am visiting the grave of a man I never knew.
She had once shown me the telegram informing the family of his death. ''He went away, and then one day, you get a letter saying that he's gone,'' she had told me, flatly.
As far as she could know, her brother was left among the hostilities, far away from his family, surrounded by foreigners to whom he was just another war casualty.
This is why we travel to Kolhorn.
My mother had recently discovered a village historian, Nicolas Visser, who had taken an interest in the seven war graves in the local cemetery. I contacted him before my visit and he offered to host me with Timmerman.
Visser pulled some photos out of a plastic sleeve.
''This is the man who shot down your uncle's plane, Master Sergeant Heinz Vinke. He was killed a month later, when his plane crashed in the English Channel on the 26th of February, 1944,'' he says, handing me the photo of a man in the grey Luftwaffe uniform.
I had never thought of the face of the man responsible for shooting down Eric's plane or what might have happened to him, but there he was. ''And here is a photo of the plane wreck,'' Visser said. ''The woman is the daughter of the farmer whose property most of the wreck landed on.''
At the grave site, Visser has brought a posy of flowers for me to place on the grave. To my surprise and delight, they include a waratah.
Three of the headstones belong to Australians: Flying Officer N.C. Law, Flight Lieutenant R.P. Wishart and Flying Officer Thomas Eric Charles. The other four were British, the youngest aged just 18.
The sharp cold of northern Holland is a stark reminder that we are far from Australia. My uncle had grown up on a NSW farm, an only son. He played cricket with his four sisters and slept on the verandah on hot summer nights. He would have never seen snow before going to Europe and now he spends all winter blanketed in it.
''Do the other families come to visit?'' I ask.
''Only one family. We've tried to contact the others, but we cannot get the private information from the RAF and RAAF,'' Visser replies.
They take me to the site of the crash, a field of thick, green grass next to a farmhouse.
''The Lancaster took off from the RAF base at Bourn at 17.15 hours,'' he says. ''It was one of a force containing 534 aircraft - 440 Lancasters, 82 Halifaxes and 12 Mosquitoes.
''The mission was to bomb Berlin, targeting the city centre and the south-western quarter. They say at least 1000 people died. Thirty-three aircraft were lost in the mission, or 6.2 per cent of the force.''
Timmerman then begins his part of the story, which he witnessed as he was walking his girlfriend home late that night.
''The Nazis left the bodies in the streets for two days to scare us,'' he says. ''I will never forget that night, not as long as I live.''
His voice cracks as he speaks. He is 89 years old, talking about events that happened 68 years earlier, but the emotion is raw and the memory is fresh.
Timmerman and I come from different generations and different continents; we speak different languages and have lived vastly different lives.
But Thomas Eric Charles is a part of both our histories.
We retreat from the cold to a cafe, and over a piece of apple pie I probe Timmerman for stories of his own experience under the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
''I was here when they came and took the Jews away,'' he says. ''Anyone caught hiding them was shot.
''They were sending all the young boys to labour camps to work, so I hid in a barn for three years.
''When the Nazis came looking, I would hide in a trapdoor under a haystack. I was arrested three times, but I always escaped. Once I had to leap off a train.''
Timmerman was in his 20s during the war, as were my great-uncle and my grandmother.
The only thing that feels right for me to do now, as a 26-year-old, is to listen to the stories, and to remember them.
When we say goodbye, Timmerman and Visser thank me profusely for my interest, while I feel greatly indebted to them.
Meeting them allows my family and me the comfort of knowing Eric was not buried among strangers to whom his death was meaningless.
Now, 68 years later, they know his name, they know where he came from and they know the colour of his hair.

An early look at Orbitron, Gemini and Cyclops...
The Four Horsemen share with their fans an early look at their Alpha Phase wave of new Outer Space Men. These unpainted prototype "test shots" show off Orbitron and Gemini and their first Deluxe Outer Space Man, Cyclops.
Test shots, as explained in our in-depth behind-the-scenes story HERE, are the first test run out of the steel molds using spare plastic at the factory so the company can approve or correct any of the molding issues before the figures go into full production. These three are cast in a really cool purple/blue color that the photos aren't really doing justice to. Even though this color isn't what the Four Horsemen have planned for the Alpha Phase wave of these three figures, it's such a striking color that they may have to utilize in the OSM line somewhere down the line.
As for the Alpha Phase wave which will be released at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con and sold through Store Horsemen, the Horsemen have decided on colors for each of the characters...
GEMINI: Clear yellow with clear green ABS accessories & parts.
ORBITRON: Clear pink with clear green ABS accessories.
CYCLOPS: Clear light blue with clear green ABS parts & accessories.

Green Day's Mike Dirnt: We Had to Put Billie Joe Armstrong's Life in Front of Everything
In one of the more surprising moments of the year, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recently entered rehab for substance abuse problems, and now Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt has just addressed the issue in greater detail.
After slinging curses at the iHeart Radio festival organizers, Armstrong smashed his guitar and left the stage. At the time, the singular reason for his outburst seemed to be frustration with having Green Day's set time suddenly cut down by 20 minutes. The next day, though, it was revealed that there was more to Armstrong's breakdown, as the band released a statement that the frontman would be entering rehab.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1 [via NME], Mike Dirnt revealed that the decision to send Armstrong to rehab wasn't a difficult one, "We had to put the life of our friend in front of everything," says Dirnt. There were also "signs of things hitting the fan" adding, "we hadn't slept in forever."
Dirnt continues, "Hindsight is 20/20… it was a tremendous undertaking… It catches up with you a little bit. We definitely jumped off a moving train." As for the future of Green Day's musical career, Durst says, "We're still getting ready for the next phase."
Stay tuned for more news on Billie Joe Armstrong's recovery. In the meantime. the band recently released the album '¡Uno!,' with the rest of the trilogy coming in the forms of '¡Dos!' next month and '¡Tre!' in January. In addition, Armstrong's previously taped appearances as a mentor on NBC's 'The Voice' will begin airing tonight (Oct. 8) on NBC.

Laurens van der Leyen (d. 1559)
The inquisitor threatened him several times with cruel death and said to him: "You certainly know. . . that I caused your sister (i.e., Tanneken van der Leyen) to be thrown into the Scheldt River." But neither threats nor supplications could make Laurens renounce his faith, which he strongly confessed. He had not yet received his baptism on faith. "I was," he said, "not yet good enough." The Martyrs' Mirror also contains his confession of faith, delivered on 4 July 1559. In this confession he defends the doctrine of Incarnation as taught by Menno Simons. A number of members of the congregation of Antwerp were in prison with Laurens, the names of whom he gives in the third and fourth letters, and many of whom faithfully suffered martyrdom after Laurens had been put to death. They could observe how Laurens was executed and died as a true follower of his Lord.

It's a deep-sky observer's dream Dobsonian! The Orion XX12's jumbo 12" (305mm) Pyrex parabolic optics of 1500mm focal length (f/4.9); and a sturdy, eight-truss tube design that disassembles in about a minute into compact, easily portable components for transport to your favorite observing site! The XX12's traditional 8-pole truss tube design let's you break the tube down into portable "bite-size" pieces - no tools required! This 8-pole design provides a more rigid structural support than other designs in this category. All tube assembly knobs are captive, so you won't lose any in the dark!
The XX12 focuser is a dual-speed (11:1) 2" Crayford with 1.25" adapter, metal focus knobs, and adjustable drawtube tension to ensure excellent, non-slip motion for any size of eyepiece used. We outfitted the XX12 with larger, 8" altitude bearings for smoother tube motion. The side-reinforced base sports stylish cutouts that minimize weight without sacrificing stability. EbonyStar laminate glides on non-stick PTFE material bearings to give the azimuth motion the feel of silk. Other fine features include adjustable altitude tension, an open 9-point flotation primary mirror cell, and a "navigation knob" for easy slewing.
Although the primary mirror cell is extremely well ventilated, the Orion SkyQuest XX12 Truss Dobsonian comes with a Cooling Accelerator Fan, which attaches to the back of the cell and facilitates faster equilibration of the mirror to ambient temperature. The secondary mirror has a 70mm minor axis and is held in a four-vane spider with very thin (0.7mm thick) vanes to minimize diffraction effects.
The XX12 Truss Tube Dobsonian telescope comes fully loaded with great accessories, including a 9x50 finder scope, aluminum telescope eyepiece rack, two telescope eyepieces: a low-power 35mm (43x) DeepView 2" and a high-power 10mm (150x) Sirius Plossl 1.25", dust caps for the top and bottom optical tube sections, and a "collimating cap" to insure optical alignment of the mirrors. A convenient carrying handle is provided for the base.
The included XX12 Light Shroud, custom designed for the SkyQuest XX12 optical tube, is made of a stretchy nylon blend material that fits like a glove over the truss poles of the telescope, fastening with thick elastic bands on both ends. A Light Shroud is vital for optimizing visual performance in any area afflicted with light pollution or peripheral light sources like street and house lights. The water-resistant, opaque black fabric blocks stray light from entering the optical path, greatly improving image contrast. It's also breathable, which minimizes unwanted vibration of the scope in breezy conditions.
It's the big Dobsonian you've dreamed of owning, and now you can take it with you wherever dark skies beckon! Get the practical and amazingly affordable Orion SkyQuest XX12 Truss Tube Dobsonian by Orion and hit the road to astronomical adventure.
Meets or exceeds all California State Environmental Quality & Safety Regulations (CARB 93120 Phase 2 Compliant).
WARNING! When using a truss tube Dobsonian telescope for solar observing, always use a Light Shroud and a properly sized solar filter. When you install the Light Shroud make certain there are no gaps between the Shroud and the telescope where direct sunlight can reach the telescope mirror. When a truss tube telescope (equipped with a solar filter but no Light Shroud) is pointing near (not at) the Sun, direct sunlight can hit the mirror and focus on the solar filter or other portions of the telescope. This can lead to eye injury or damage to the telescope. Using a Light Shroud protects your telescope from peripheral sunlight.
Before using any telescope for solar observing, make sure to install all dustcaps or other protective covers on all optical components such as finder scopes to keep sunlight from passing through them. Glancing through an uncovered optical system, even for an instant, can cause permanent eye damage. Always install protective caps on all optical instruments if left out during daylight hours.
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.
Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.
Level 1 Beginner - Suited for a wide range of uses, these telescopes are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required. Very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment but just want to take a look. Any of these scopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulas! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 2 Intermediate - These scopes offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 3 Advanced - These scopes provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. They have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but are but on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These scopes will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
Level 4 Expert - Expert telescopes offer uncompromising optical and mechanical quality for the most demanding amateur astronomer. They may be technically involved or designed for specialized use, such as astrophotography or detailed deep sky observation. They carry a premium price, but are designed to provide the ultimate performance in the field. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.

A Better Way to Cite Online Sources–Reprise
Back in April 2009, I created a video that showed my dream for how citing online sources should be done (see blog post). It would be a partnership between online record repositories and desktop genealogy software. I created a prototype close enough to the real thing to prove that it could be done and to help others visualize how it would work. I even created a survey to get feedback from others.
Over 300 people responded to the survey and at the end of the trial period I sent a copy of the results to all participants that provided an e-mail. I planned on blogging about the results but got discouraged at the time.
Two events have happened this week to get me thinking about this again. The first was a comment on my blog by Bruce. He has a website for his personal family history and wanted to know how to go about setting up the site to do citations like the video demonstrated. It saddened me to tell him that it is not possible to do this yet without cooperation from the desktop genealogy software vendors. The second was a direct message via Twitter from fellow genealogy software innovator, Dean. He contacted me to say that my blog was mentioned in a discussion today at RootsTech on how to handle sources.
Maybe it is time for me to publish the survey results from 2 years ago.
What type of people responded to the survey? People like you and me. The majority are non-professional researches (plain Jane/Joe family historians) many of whom belong to local genealogy societies. Some have visited courthouses, the National Archives, or the Family History Library, but almost all had done research on the internet in the last week. They used sites like Ancestry, Footnote, and FamilySearch and desktop software like RootsMagic, Legacy, Family Tree Maker, and PAF. Over 99% thought citing sources was important but 75% thought it was difficult to do it. Over 90% thought that there should be one standard citation guide and 57% were using "Evidence Explained." When asked if they were interested in the solution provided in the video, 93% said they were interested.
There are more details and nuggets in the survey results.
Maybe we can explore them more in future posts.

Mental Health
Schizophrenia, Music and Friendship
Can music improve schizophrenia symptoms or help those dealing with schizophrenia? Also, has it any way been proven that friendship has an effect on those with mental disorders, namely schizophrenia? Any tests? Polls? surveys?
In a helpful way, music can be distracting to schizophrenic patients and those with other illness involving thought disorders. Sadly, such patients' lack of social contacts can adversely affect their course and prognosis. Generally, cultures that have a greater presence of family and extended social network often allow such patients to do better than elsewhere. These findings are supported more in clinical literature, not primarily related to specific testing or polls.

Collecting Beeswax on Nature's ScheduleBees know how to do their job, so Burt's Bees leaves them alone and minds their own beeswax until the time is right. That's how they ensure their beeswax cultivating process protects the Bees' normal production cycle. Bees produce a wax honeycomb where they raise their young and store honey and pollen. When it's full, they cap off the honeycomb and move on to build another hive. Then, and not before, is when they cultivate the beeswax, ensuring the normal cycle of nature. Burt's Bees Frequently Asked QuestionsAre your products hypoallergenic?There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic."

A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine. I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products?

now that my engine is finished. I spent the week just for fun going about replicating the mechanic of portals(like the valve game), and I really enjoyed the process and the results as it provides many interesting puzzles that could be made with this kind of thing.
Just out of curiosity, and that I'm looking at a project to do with my new engine that won't take eons, do you think there is a market for such a game? Obviously not a portal clone, but a puzzle game invlolving the use of a portal gun(for lack of an original word ), and a few other elements I'm thinking of.
I know...what indie can compete with the muscle of such a game, but there are many fps's and they all seem to rip eachother off except with different graphics. so I was wondering about what people would think of the use of this mechanic in another puzzle solving game? is it lame to borrow a mechanic(even something as fun as portals) or would it just be looked at as a "me too project"?
thanks for any feedback on this as I would like to know what people really think. I believe I will still make the game as it is just alot of fun even as a tech demo but as something marketable, was curious if it's a genre that will only ever be seen as something that only valve is aloud to do because anyone else will look at it as a rip off? Though haveing said that, that is all the fps genre seems to be about and they sell, but i guess that comes down to marketing.
I think it would be seen as a "me too" project. It was a little too original. As far as puzzles, that's a good idea. You just need a different mechanic or use it in a way that's different enough that people won't relate it to portal. If you end up with, "it's kind of like portal, but ...", you are probably all right.
To get something popular I think you need to add something else, completely unique. It won't be enough to be a portal clone.
I saw a demo a year ago or so that had portals of diffrent scale, so you could toss a small marble into a portal and get a boulder sized ball out the other end. Something like that could give you interesting puzzles.
Another concept that could be a lot of fun would be a combat based game with portals.
Thanks fireside and geon for your feedback, some very good points and intersting ideas also! I will definently give this little project alot more thought now. I suppose it really just comes down to finding a unique take or twist on the concept in going the extra mile to make it my own, I'll see how i go with it, thanks again.
One of the creators of the original Portal has a new game coming out in 2012 titled Quantum Conundrum (http://www.quantumconundrum.com/)). Its a portal-style physics game along the lines of what geon was talking about. The different dimensions have different attributes. For example, one of the dimensions, called the "fluffy dimension", makes all things made of cotton; therefore, if there was a heavy object (such as a refrigerator), you switch to the fluffy dimension and the refrigerator is the made up of cotton. Thus, it becomes easy to pick up. Also, one of the levels will ask a player to traverse a bottomless pit. An interesting concept none-the-less...
If your engine works well, there is endless possibilities as to what you can do for puzzles. Good luck!
wow, that game looks very polished and some really great puzzle components, will have to keep an eye out for that when it's released! you are so right, the more i look around the more i see that really when it comes to the puzzle genre there really isn't any restriction on what's expected and the possibilities are very vast. I've been burried writting my engine for the last 11 months and now it's time to put back on the creative hat(which is actually suprisingly hard to do after that long lol) but with all the inspritation I'm finding out there I hope my own concept will gell. Anyway i thought i'd show a small video of the portal mechanic I did last week(nothing overly amazing just the basic concept of plotting the portals): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD7TTQ8ZYyk&feature=channel\_video\_title
Yeah, your game looks way too much like Portal. You could use a different environment, one that doesn't look so much like a test chamber, and you could have different visuals for the portals (different shape, different border color / effects, etc.), invent some other mechanic for placing them besides shooting a gun, etc.
oh yeah it totally does , but this is just a concept to get the portals working, I haven't even started on a final actual game concept, so ignor the visual in the video as it was just the mechanics i was trying to actually replicate before branching out on my own. But yeah will deffinently have to come up with my own take if i decide to go with this project, thanks for the feedback some very good points(getting creative again is really not going to be easy lol)!
The mechanics behind the engine seem very smooth, which is a good thing because that means you have a concept to build around. Also, to change the flavor, why not have different shaped portals? The oval portals are nice, but used to represent every portal I've seen (Portal game, Stargate portal, etc.). I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should try making the portals themselves more unique. Once you've tackled the portals and are happy with the output, then focus on building around them.
Heh, yeah, that does look very similar to Portal. Just needs a psycho crazy woman computer, a cheeky little robot that follows you around, and of course let's not forget...
@David Gallagher
if i decide to go with this project
If? I think you ventured in far enough that you should at least complete something. It would be a waste to toss your efforts.
@Cod, thanks, yes I'm thinking now as Reedbeta also mention similar idea to changing portal shape and makeing that aspect unique it might be a good place to start and get the creativity flowing and once that aspet is locked down will free me up to play with the other elements I want to experiment with.
@TheNut, lol, you forgot the cake . I just wanted to be sure if this would be the best project to start on is all, and it's looking like it will go ahead as it will allow me to keep content creation managable and inline with the time I want to spend working on it, and it's the most fun concept for a puzzle game I can think to explore.
The cake is a lie!
I think the project would be worthwhile to continue on. The hardest part for you will really be coming up with the puzzles. Is it too hard, too easy? I wouldn't worry so much about aesthetics right now (such as the shape of your portal). I would spend a good day or two brainstorming some puzzles and see if that's something you can do. In Portal 2, Valve decided to add more game elements like the goo, gravity transporters, and lasers to extend the length of the game. You might have to do the same.
doh! lol .
Yes that will be a good approach I believe, it should also help scale the fun factor. I think I will decide on a portal shape while playing around with some puzzle ideas as the benefit to the oval shape is it fits snug into most parts of the environment, but I may go with a circle as it would allow for larger objects to pass through also. It's good that you mentioned how valve had added the extra elements as I have not played portal2, but i was thinking along the same lines except i was wanting to play around with elements such as inflatable objects, breakable objects and time displacment. I'll give my self a couple of weeks to have a play and see what i can come up with and if it seems like it will be a fun experience I will go ahead with it I think. thanks agian for the feedback!

You don't think that beings from other worlds / world systems would incarnate in this one?
Also, hell beings, pretas, gods and demi gods could all be ascending or falling into human births, it is not just animal realm----> human realm.
Adamantine: You may not have caught what I said in earlier posts addressing these two issues. Of course beings from other world systems can incarnate here and of course all of these other beings can and are born here. However, it is much less likely. Beings tend to stick with other beings they have connections with, particularly with those that have murdered them or harmed them (which explains a lot of marriages).

text: Herd's Hunter makes smooth switch to linebacker By Doug Smock October 8, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Marshall's D.J. Hunter returns a mishandled Tulsa point-after for two points. HUNTINGTON - Keith Baxter says he called the shot on the evolution of D.J. Hunter, Marshall's promising safety turned linebacker."He might not remember, but I told him it was coming," said Baxter, one of the Thundering Herd's top cornerbacks. "I knew it was coming because you've got to get your best 11 on the field, and that's what Coach Rip [defensive coordinator Chris Rippon] always says. So why would you have a talented guy sitting back, not getting much playing time, when you can insert him somewhere and he can be a playmaker?"Defensive end Alex Bazzie saw it the same way, but he just wasn't sure it would happen. He said he even dropped hints with the coaching staff."I was surprised that they actually did it," Bazzie said of Hunter's second-game move to linebacker. "I kept telling them D.J.'s a strong kid. He's kind of small but he's a strong kid. And I'd always tell him, 'Man, you should be playing in the box, man.' I always joke around and he's like, 'Nah, nah, I like it back there at safety.'"But when it actually happened, I was just shocked, like 'coaches finally did it.' "That "finally" came before the second game against Western Carolina, after Hunter began the season in a more limited role of nickel back. His expected role at starting safety was altered by the single-year transfer of former Boston College starters Dominick LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha.From a traditionalist's perspective, it was a daring move by coach Doc Holliday and Rippon. Hunter brings more speed to the linebacking corps, to be sure, but does so with a frame listed as 6-foot, 204 pounds.The idea, certainly, was to get the 11 best on the field, and there is little dispute that Hunter is one of those 11 on the defensive side. And for many Conference USA opponents - probably five of the final six on MU's schedule - speed is a larger consideration than size. Playing on the strong side, Hunter is the Herd's third-leading tackler in the five games since Marshall's loss at West Virginia. The Middletown, Ohio, native has 38 tackles in that stretch, only behind LeGrande (56) and Okoroha (54). Of those 38, 17 were solo.Against Tulsa, he also returned a mishandled point-after snap for two points.Hunter was not one of the Herd players appearing for Monday interviews, but several of his defensive mates were, and all gave good reports.From Baxter: "I think he's picking it up really well, not being able to play last year and the year before. He's coming in learning a new position; he's been learning safety since he's been here and I think he's picked it up nicely and adjusting really well." From cornerback Derrick Thomas, formerly from Penn State: "I definitely like having D.J. on my side. D.J. is one of the better tacklers on the team, coming down from safety. He's one of the most athletic people at that position. If he can put on some or weight physically, that can be a good fit for him."From middle linebacker Jermaine Holmes: "Coming from safety, taking on the O-line, they've got a few more pounds than him. He's playing really good, though. I know they underestimate him, but he's playing well."Bazzie, who calls Hunter a "Tasmanian devil," had the most to say about Hunter. OK, so Bazzie has the most to say on many subjects, but hear him out on Hunter's crash-course development. "One thing I remember I had to tell him was, 'I know you switched positions and you don't know a lot that's going on when you get the call sometimes, but I do know one thing about you: You go full speed,' " Bazzie said. " 'And when you go full speed, you play well.'"Instead of worrying, he'll come up to me and say, 'Bro, I didn't even know the last play.' And I'm like, 'Man, did you go 100 percent?' He said, 'Yeah, I got the tackle.' I said, 'At least Coach will coach you up on what you're supposed to do, instead of yell at you for missing a tackle and not doing what you're supposed to do.'"We just started laughing."Suffice it to say, Hunter will spend the rest of the season picking up the nuances of the position. He may even switch back to safety after LeGrande and Okoroha depart.But as the Herd enters the season's second half after a bye this week, Hunter will play a substantial role in the defense's improvement, or lack thereof. He has his teammates' confidence."I think he came a long way with switching positions two times and just having a lot on his mind, technique-wise and what to do, and wanting to help out the team. He's coming along fast," Bazzie said. Marshall returns to action Oct. 20 at Southern Mississippi.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Topic: Hey!
So I have been getting on here and reading for about 3 months now. Thought it was time to start an account. I have learned so much from reading on here! I was diagnosed with intrahepatic cc in April. So far they say no to surgery and such. I hope down the road that will change. Mine had spread all over my liver, in the lymph nodes of the first part of my stomach, at the tip of my gallbladder however I'm kind of confused about that and I don't think it's there anymore. I also have several small spots on my lungs, it is unknown right now if that is metastasis. I am seeing Dr. Varadhacaury at MD Anderson, however I am currently trying to switch to Dr. Javle. I am 30 yrs. old and have a 1 yr. old son who is my whole world!! I do Gemzar and Cisplatin every 2 weeks and am tolerating it well. I drink water all day long, eat lots of fruit and veggies, and try to stay away from anything out of a box or a can. Look forward to getting to know some of you

Looks pretty evident Da Bears are going to Miami..Defense certainly stepped up and Grossman has looked pretty good at times.
I must say I thought New Orleans was playing the best of any team coming into this game. But they just turned the ball over two many times.
I still think Chicago would be the more preferred team to matchup with in the SB.

Hi all,
This might not belong in this forum, I don't know...
I was gazing out a glass window and I noticed there was a kind of fluttering. So I tuned into it more and saw that it was actually lots of tiny clear-opaque balls rapidly swimming to and fro. It reminded me of videos of little biolgical cells and structures moving about, so I wondered if it was just that, some kind of biological movement on the lens of my eye. Although with more difficulty (it is quite easy when looking out the glass) I can see the same thing looking anywhere. Does anyone know if this is the case, what these tiny swimming balls might be?
I put it in this forum because I considered the gazing, especially the adapting the gazing mode of perceiving in which I saw the balls etc. to not just at the glass, akin to meditation. Also it's kind of like body-nupassana.

It's Not Only Rock 'n' Roll, Baby!
Base Design, New York, New York, 2008
For the 2008 Bozar exhibition presenting the visual work of artists better known for their contributions in the world of music, Base designed a book/catalogue as a cross between an art book and a rock zine. The book features exclusive interviews with the artists and photographs of their artwork. The artists are represented as silhouetted icons, and the text is in black and white, contrasting with the color images and underlining the distinction between music and art.
Juror Notes
This exhibition catalogue is a cross between an art publication and a rock magazine. The designer uses rock aesthetics to attract a younger audience to a museum. The hallmarks of "rock" are suitably employed: big, large type and equally matched images. Tactile.

Tom Cruise Attached To Star...
News is out that Tom Cruise has been cast to star in Yukikaze, an adaptation from Warner Bros. based on the Japanese sci-fi novels by Chohel Kamayashi. Yukikaze has previously been adapted into five direct-to-video anime movies.
The premise sees a planetary defense force beat back an invasion of aliens using a wormhole over Antarctica, setting up bases on the aliens' planet. Yukikaze is the name of the advanced reconnaissance fighter plane the hero uses on his missions.
Seeing how slick and futuristic looking the Yukikaze appears in the anime (pictured above and below), I don't think Hollywood has much design work to do on the fighter jet. Here's hoping we get a new toy replica.

BRISTOL, Tenn.—If the re-pairing of driver Kevin Harvick and former crew chief Gil Martin appears to be a partnership not made to last, that would be a correct assumption.
Richard Childress doesn't plan to have Martin working with Harvick for an extended period, but the two will be together for at least one race—the Irwin Tools Night Race on Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
With Harvick eighth in the Cup standings and having only one top-10 finish in his past eight races, Childress opted to remove Shane Wilson as Harvick's crew chief.
Childress replaced Wilson with Martin, whom Harvick asked to be replaced after last season as Harvick wasn't satisfied with the performance in back-to-back third-place season finishes.
"Definitely temporary," Childress said Wednesday night about Martin's status as Harvick's crew chief.
Childress didn't rule out Martin and Harvick working together for the final 13 races this year.
"We're going to see," Childress said. "I'm taking it one race at a time."
As his struggles have continued this season, Harvick has been more vocal on the team radio in being critical of the changes Wilson was making on the car. At one point last Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, Childress admonished the team, saying it wouldn't get anywhere by arguing.
When asked if the race Sunday showed Harvick's having a lack of confidence in Wilson, Childress said, "We're just going to make some changes."
Wilson is still with the organization. And with Paul Menard crew chief Slugger Labbe, his car chief and engineer facing a six-week suspension for an illegal car frame, Wilson could be back on the road soon.
"Shane was going to take the week off, but he may be back off vacation quicker than he thinks," Childress said.
