My Life: The Experiences That Shaped My Worldview (Audio CD)
Inrgid Rimland
Audio CD. 69 minutes
Stock Number: C206
In this moving, first-person address, an extraordinary woman speaks about her childhood in an ethnic German Mennonite community in the Soviet Union, including the arrest of her father by Soviet police, her liberation by German forces in 1941 shortly before the remnants of her community were about to be deported to Siberia, her westward trek along with the retreating German soldiers, her terrible ordeal in the final months of the war and the immediate postwar period, and her new life in South America and, finally, in the United States.
Listeners were moved to tears when Ingrid Rimland – wife of publicist and free-speech activist Ernst Zundel -- delivered this talk on February 3, 2005, at an IHR meeting in California. Mark Weber, IHR director, provides an introduction.

After many Bollywood celebs decided to cut the chicken off their diet plans and take the vegan way, Nargis Fakhri also thought of banning animal and dairy products. But soon realized her love for eggs.
"I want to be vegetarian. Actually, I really would like to be vegan but I love cheese cake," the 'Rockstar' actress tweeted Sunday.
The actress has decided to become a eggetarian after she admitted her love for eggs in a series of tweets.
"From today forward I will attempt to be vegetarian. I have had two cups of coffee so far. Darn can I have egg?" Nargis tweeted.
"Can I be vegetarian and eat egg?"
"Ok let me go start planning my new life as an eggetarian," she tweeted.
Nargis will be next seen in David Dhawan's directorial venture 'Main Tera Hero', which also features Varun Dhawan and Ileana D'Cruz in the lead. The movie is scheduled to release on April 14.

Championship Daily Results:
(1) Sleepyj (24-11/ 69%) vs. (5) TDOTPRO (16-19/ 46%)
Breakdown of the Matchup:
Here we are! After a long grueling tournament, the championship match is set. Sleepyj will go up against TDOTPRO and the winner will be crowned the 2nd Annual Pregame Battle of the Handicappers Basketball Tournament Champion. Winning this tournament is a life changer as our former champion Lesh can vouch for that statement. His life just isn't the same now because he's basically a local celebrity back home. Sleepyj got to the finals by paying me off as I had to enforce some rules and adjust records, but TDOTPRO got here by great handicapping. Seriously, these two forum cappers have been kiling it throughout the tournament and if you have been following them, you would have cashed a lot of tickets! Don't believe me? Just look at the bracket above and see the chart I posted below and see the results. It's not to late as they still have 35 more picks you can follow. Here is a breakdown of their results throughout the tournament. All of these picks have been verified and documented in the Pregame system.
So to breakdown this chart, over 180 documented plays, sleepyj has an overall record of 103-70-7 (60%). TDOTPRO over 175 documented plays has an overall record of 96-72-7 (57%). As you can see from the chart above, sleepyj plays totals while TDOTPRO just sticks to sides. This will be an interesting matchup and I wish both cappers the best of luck! Good luck guys and your both winners to get this far because I know how mentally challenging it can be. I also want to thank everyone that has participated!

Buying a quality used Lexus E350 can often mean jumping through hoops in order to get financing. At Off Lease Only we make it as easy as possible for you to get behind the wheels of the used Lexus E350 of your choice by selling our selection at great prices and with no-hassle financing. Our best advice is to skip the Lexus dealers in your area and come shop the best used Lexus selection in Florida.
There are few used cars that inspire the senses like a pre-owned Lexus E350, but if you search your local Florida Lexus dealer, the chances of finding a great price are slim. Off Lease Only has the best selection of used Lexus E350s anywhere, and all at great prices.
Kelley Blue Book® Suggested Retail ValueThe Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices and is the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. The Suggested Retail Value assumes that the vehicle has been fully reconditioned and has a clean title history. It also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the vehicle's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions.

I learned when guys do this it really bothers their girlfriends, and I can see why because when I had a girlfriend it bothered me when she did it.
I was talking on the radio the other night to girls who are bothered by their boyfriends having passwords on their phones… Do you really need a password on your phone if you are not hiding anything? To me I always thought it was shady when my gf kept a password on her phone. I trusted her but at the same time it made my mind wonder a lot. It appears I am not alone on this judging by all the calls I got. Does your boyfriend have a password on his phone? does that bother you?

Dept. of Education to recognize same-sex parents
The Department of Education will begin recognizing a student's same-sex parents on applications for federal financial aid for the purposes of income information, although in most circumstances the change will likely result in these families being eligible for less assistance.
In an announcement on Monday, the department announced it will begin collecting income information from a dependent student's legal parents regardless of their marital status or gender as long as those parents live together. The change begins with the 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
The precise changes are two-fold. First, the application will offer an option for students to describe their parents' marital status as "unmarried and both parents living together." Second, where appropriate, the new FAFSA form will use terms like "Parent 1 (father/mother/stepparent)" and "Parent 2 (father/mother/stepparent)" instead of gender-specific terms like "mother" or "father."
In a conference call with reporters, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the change will enable students to apply for aid "in a way that incorporates their unique family dynamic."
"These changes will allow us to calculate eligibility based on what a student's whole family is able to contribute and ensure that limited taxpayer dollars are better targeted toward those students who have the most need," Duncan said. "And very importantly, these changes allow us to provide an inclusive form that reflects the great diversity of American families."
The income information provided on the FAFSA is used to calculate a student's expected family contribution, or EFC. That number decides a student's eligibility for federal need-based student aid, such as grants and students loans, in addition to eligibility for many state, institutional and private aid programs.

Toasted Caramel Rooibis OR Chocolate Mint Rooibos??
Which do you all prefer Toasted Caramel Rooibos or Chocolate Mint Rooibos? For the past month, customers have been purchasing A LOT of Toasted Caramel Rooibos, which is great however my favorite is Chocolate Mint Rooibos. What do you all prefer?
The Toasted Caramel Rooibos sounds good to me. Never really been a chocolate mint fan…with tea.
I think they both sound very good. I do find that in chocolate mint teas that the mint over powers the flavor of anything else though.
toasted caramel rooibos all the way! ditto on the mint taking over the other flavours
Toasted Caramel Rooibos sounds like one I'd be tempted to buy!
I haven't tried either, but as a general rule I do not like any tea with the name "toasted" in it or where "toasted" is a flavor quality. I also LOVE anything chocolate mint. I am; however, not a fan at all of red rooibos.
I get migraines from red rooibos, actually, so I tend to avoid that type of tea. Create either with green rooibos, though, and I'm there. :)

- Net Profit increased to Rs 39.61 crore, up from Rs 3.48 crore in Q1FY11
- Revenue increased to Rs 278.48 crore, up from Rs 172.97 crore in Q1FY11
- EBITDA increased to Rs. 220.28 crore, up from Rs 125.96 crore in Q1FY11
- 12 MMTPA expansion project of Vadinar port commissioned; total ports capacity at 88 MMTPA
Mumbai : Essar Ports Limited (EPL), part of the USD 17-billion Essar Group, today announced its results for the quarter ended 30th June 2011. This is the first time the company is announcing results after the demerger of the Shipping, Oilfields and Logistics businesses from Essar Shipping Ports & Logistics Ltd (ESPLL) and being relisted on the bourses on 31st May 2011.
Note: Considering this is the first time EPL is announcing its quarterly results post demerger, all comparisons provided below are with the Ports business segment of erstwhile ESPLL.
Essar Ports Limited registered a PAT (Profit after Tax) of Rs 39.61 crore for the quarter ended 30th June 2011 as against Rs 3.48 crore for the corresponding quarter last year—an over ten-fold increase.
Revenues of the company saw a jump of 61% to Rs 278.48 crore, as against Rs 172.97 crore for the corresponding quarter last year.
The EBITDA for Q1 FY 2012 stood at Rs 220.28 crore, as against Rs 125.96 crore for the corresponding quarter last year, registering a growth of 75%.
Operational highlights:
Essar Ports commissioned a 12 MMTPA expansion at Vadinar in April 2011 as per plan at a cost of Rs 1,100 crore. The overall capacity of Essar Ports now stands at 88 MMTPA.
In the first quarter Essar Ports saw a jump of 14% in the total volumes handled to 11.2 MMT, from 9.83 MMT in the corresponding quarter last year. The average realization increased consistently from Rs 148/ tonne in FY10 to Rs 173/ tonne in FY11 to Rs 220/ tonne in Q1 FY12. The increase in average realization is in line with the escalation in tariff as per the long-term take or pay contracts along with the increased cargo handling requirements of its anchor customers based on their increasing capacities.
During the quarter, the terminal at Hazira received the ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management), ISO 14001:2004 (Health & Safety), and the OHSAS 18001:2007 (Environment) certifications. It also achieved zero Loss Time Injury (LTI) performance in its very first year of operations.
Speaking on the results, Rajiv Agarwal, Managing Director, Essar Ports Limited, said: "We are on track to become one of the largest port companies of India. In line with India's growing requirement for increased port capacities, we are well poised to play a major role in the growth story by doubling our capacity to 158 million tonnes."
Benefit of Demerger:
Given the size and scale of the Ports business, further growth in the vertical required a more focused approach. As is evident from the results, the demerger is facilitating a focused approach towards growing the business.
EPL believes that the Ports business in India has huge potential to grow since the country doesn't have many world-class ports. Additionally, utilization levels at major Indian ports are more than 90%, which is way higher than the international norm of 65%-70%.
Essar Ports has outlined aggressive plans to emerge as one of the largest port developers and operators in India. The company is developing port capacity for liquid and bulk cargoes at four locations in the west and east coasts of India with a total investment of Rs 9,300 crore.
Progress on Under Construction Port Projects
As part of the Paradip port project the company is building a capacity of 30 MMTPA, comprising an iron ore berth of 16 MMTPA and a coal berth of 14 MMTPA.
- Paradip I (CQ3) commissioning expected in second half of FY12, 59% of the project completed by June 2011
- Basic and detailed engineering completed
- Ship loader erected; stack yard development under progress
- Conveyor erection in progres
The company is setting up a dry bulk terminal at Salaya with a capacity of 20 MMTPA.
- Salaya port commissioning is expected in second half of FY13-14, 38% of project was completed by June 2011
- Ship un-loaders delivered
- 1 stacker cum reclaimer erected; erection of 2 Stacker cum reclaimer in progress

- Environment and CRZ clearance received. Forest clearance pending for part of the project

I just got another $5,000.00+ bill for cancer treatment and am financially smashed. Just another way to make people poor. I have good health insurance, always have, but health care copays are not as good as we hoped.

Doctor's Without Borders is one of the regular charities I give money to. They are such an important and outstanding organization.
I haven't made recurring donations to any group before, but this is exceptionally important.

AUSTIN — A state judge decided Thursday to extend an injunction that keeps Planned Parenthood in the federal women's health program.
The injunction from Judge Stephen Yelenosky lasts until mid-December, when the court will hear a case for a permanent injunction.
"The state may claim that the effect on women is 'irrelevant' but today's ruling is a small but critical victory for the approximately 50,000 Texas women who rely on Planned Parenthood," said Patricio Gonzales, CEO of the Planned Parenthood Association of Hidalgo County.
The Legislature voted last year to prohibit taxpayer money flowing to any group with an affiliate that performs abortions. Planned Parenthood clinics that provide preventive screenings are separate from those that perform abortions, but the entire organization was barred from receiving state funds.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas could implement its own state-funded version of the program without Planned Parenthood using approved providers that will comply with new rules.
As a response, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which covers 90 percent of the program's costs, announced that it will discontinue support to Texas on Dec. 31, because the state is not complying with federal law.
Susan Conway, an attorney with the firm representing Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, said it's still unclear if the Texas Women's Health Program will be implemented, but if the state decides to return to the federal program, the group will be glad to participate.
"If Texas doesn't implement these rules, CMS will extend the waiver and all Texas has to do is comply with federal regulations," she said.
Planned Parenthood requested to have the case before the 5th Circuit court temporarily dismissed in order to focus on the state suit. The provider is suing in federal court on the grounds that excluding it violates the constitutional rights of free speech and association.
Gov. Rick Perry said in a written statement that the group's move to end the lawsuit is a sign that Planned Parenthood's argument is flawed.
"We see their stalling tactic for what it is — yet another attempt to unashamedly defy the will of Texas voters and taxpayers," Perry said.
Skeptics of the state-run Women's Health Program say that the 3,000 approved providers will not be able to care for Texas' 130,000 uninsured women who currently receive care, nearly half of them from Planned Parenthood clinics.
"There isn't a large base of providers with large space in their practices that is ready, willing and able to take on this client base," said Joseph Potter, a University of Texas at Austin professor who specializes in reproductive health and policies and funding for family planning in Texas.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill., June 24 (UPI) -- Marco Pappa and Dominic Oduro each scored early and the Chicago Fire then hung on while playing a man down Saturday in their 2-1 win over Columbus.
Pappa scored in the second minute, beating goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum cleanly on a right-footed volley from 25 yards out.
Oduro doubled the advantage in the 25th when Sebastian Grazzini found him with a through-ball and the Ghanaian forward put it home for 2-0 lead.
But only 4 minutes later Chicago (7-5-3) went a man down when Gonzalo Segares' hard tackle on Crew midfielder Kevan George earned him a straight red card.
Tony Tchani put Columbus (5-5-4) on the board in the 35th minute, but the Crew couldn't dent Fire goalie Sean Johnson thereafter.
Columbus lost for the first time seven games and missed a chance to catch Chicago for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Ms. Thomas discussed the terms of the lease, a copy of which was sent to aldermen over a week ago, and noted certain obligations of the city which respect to the leased land. The city cannot derive any revenue from the land used for the path and the MBTA can locate utilities underground, however, air rights would have to be renegotiated. There will be a vote on this item which will become an exhibit to the lease. The MBTA has made it clear that the lease is not negotiable. Mass DOT will not review the project until the lease is signed, therefore it is a pressing issue due to funding.
Alderman White expressed concern regarding the need for an immediate vote, saying that since this is a substantial undertaking, he would like time to review it and does not feel that a 2 week delay would be a problem. Ms. Thomas stated that since federal funds are involved, the project must be advertised in a timely manner or the funds could disappear, however, she will contact the MBTA and find out if a 2 week delay is a problem.
Alderman White raised questions regarding the responsibility to remove hazardous waste, environmental testing/remediation, funding of the surfacing and the responsibility of the existing bike path's maintenance. Ms. Thomas informed the members that the total cost will be from federal funds, however remediation will not be programmed by those funds. In her opinion, the MBTA has no responsibility for the condition of the premises. The city will share the cost of repairing a retaining wall in Davis Square with the MBTA. Both Mr. Bean and Mr. Renault-Caragianes assured the members that there is insurance for the bike path.
Chairman Heuston wants it understood that action on this item is not going to impede the public's input with respect to design

H.E. Mrs. Deepa Gopalan Wadhwa, newly appointed Ambassador of India to Japan, has made a speech at the welcoming reception at Kensei Kinenkan held on Tuesday, September 4th, 2012.
The Japan-India Association who hosted this reception has the pleasure to reproduce the speech of Ambassador Wadhwa as follows;
H.E. Mr. Yoshiro Mori, Former Prime Minister of Japan & Chairman, The Japan-India Association,
H.E. Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, Former Prime Minister and President, Japan-India Parliamentary Friendship League,
H.E. Mr. Koro Bessho, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Government of Japan,
Ambassador Hiroshi Hirabayashi, President, The Japan-India Association,
Mr. Ryuko Hira, Hon'ble President, Indian Chambers of Commerce, Japan,
Mr. Masahiro Sakane, Deputy Chairman, The Japan-India Association,
Representatives of the Ministries of the Government of Japan,
Leaders of the Japanese business community,
Hon'ble Directors of Japan-India Association,
Distinguished Guests,
Konnichiwa !Namaste !
Please accept my deepest gratitude for this welcome reception organized by the Japan-India Association for me. Though I have been in Japan for less than a month, I already feel extremely at home due to the warmth and wave of positive sentiment for India which I have encountered upon my arrival.
2. I am extremely happy to arrive in Japan at a time when our countries are celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
The vibrancy and the enthusiasm with which events have been planned and executed in different corners of Japan as well as India is a testimony to the genuine regard that our people feel for each other.
I would also like to thank all the people who have contributed their effort and goodwill to mark the 60th Anniversary of our bilateral relations.
3. India-Japan relations can be traced back far into history.
The cultural and historical bonds that link our two countries form the firm foundation of our relationship.
The fact that the Japan-India Association was founded more than a century ago, is a living testament to the genuine interest in Japan to maintain close ties with India.
The Japan-India Association has played a crucial role in promoting relations between our countries during this period and this commitment is today bearing fruits as our bilateral relations are witnessing an unprecedented deepening of engagement.
Japan is viewed in India as a close and most trusted friend.
This sentiment permeates every layer of Indian society from ordinary citizens to the highest echelons of Government and our corporate world.
Before my arrival in Japan, I met the political leadership in India as well as high-level representatives of Indian industry, and received a very unambivalent message from both that promoting relations with Japan is a top national priority.
This is both because of the congruence of our value systems as well as mutuality of interests in today's changing global economic and strategic environment.
4. The institutional architecture for deeper engagement is in place.
We have agreements for a global and strategic partnership; we have a CEPA in place.
We also have annual Prime Minister level summits.
We have established dialogues in the strategic, economic, energy, high-tech and defense fields tasked with identifying areas of cooperation.
India – with its high growth rate, vast domestic market and young population – clearly complements the strengths of Japan.
What we need is investments in infrastructure and the manufacturing sectors so as to be able to productively use our labour force for the mutual good of both our countries.
There is recognition of this in Japan as can be seen from growing Japanese investments in India and projects such as the DFC and the DMIC which have the potential of transforming India.
Another area of importance for India is skill development.
While we have a young labour force, for them to be optimally productive it is necessary for them to receive training and be familiar with Japanese business management techniques and technology.
If major Japanese companies in India focus on skill development, they will find themselves benefiting from a large pool of young people who are cognizant with the Japanese way of doing business.
5. During my stay in Japan, I want to play the role of a facilitator and problem-resolver.
My Embassy stands ready to smoothen the way for Japanese corporations coming into India and to handhold Japanese SMEs who have a very valuable contribution to make to our two economies.
I want to promote sustained interaction in all fields, including in the soft areas of culture, education and research so as to widen the scope of cooperation between our countries.
6. In concluding, I would like to convey my deep appreciation in particular to former Prime Ministers H.E. Mr. Yoshiro Mori and H.E. Mr. Yasuo Fukuda who have worked assiduously to build a multifaceted relationship between our two countries.
The array of dignitaries here today is a strong signal of the vitality and importance of our ties.
I thank you most humbly for honouring me with your presence and request your support during my stay in Japan.
7. I hope that I will be able to live up to your expectations and contribute to the further development of the close and friendly relations between our countries.
Thank you.

The pricing of new corporate bond issues is examined, with particular emphasis on the seasoning effect and the cost of underwriting. Considerable attention is paid to some special features of the corporate bond market, including the use of actual trader quotes so as to accurately measure holding period returns. Our results suggest that the cost of issuing corporate bonds is less than previously reported.

Rider Education majors had a landmark study abroad experience in Spain in June.
Brittany Moore '14 wasn't sure what to expect. The sophomore Elementary Education and Spanish dual major had been to Spain before, during an exchange program in high school two year earlier, so it wasn't the foreign land that had her uncertain.
Moore was one of a dozen Education students from Rider who traveled to the Universidad de Alcalá in Madrid this June to observe the teaching and learning experience for people with disabilities beyond the United States.
"What I wasn't prepared for was the special education aspect of the trip," said Moore, who carries a minor in English as a Second Language, but is not part of the Special Education program at Rider, and had never been exposed to special education schools. "I was moved to tears on more than one occasion, but they were mostly happy tears."
The three-credit course was the brainchild of Dr. Michele Wilson Kamens and Dr. Dianne Casale-Giannola in response to Rider's Strategic Plan goals to develop international education and opportunities. Kamens, who previously spent time at Alcalá during a summer fellowship, proposed a study-abroad experience for Education majors to Giannola, whose doctoral dissertation actually involved international education.
The result is what Kamens, professor and director of Special Education programs, calls "the first official opportunity for Education students to study abroad within their course of study."
Students had the choice of earning credits in a comparative education study of methods and effectiveness entitled: Special Education Abroad, or completing a final course option assignment in SPE 202: Society and Individuals with Disabilities.
Moore chose the comparative education option, and is grateful for the chance to explore another side of teaching.
"I am so thankful for this experience, because it has definitely broadened my horizons not only as a person, but as a future educator," she said.
For other students, such as Nicole Tassello '13, the trip provided perspectives many had yet to encounter. An Elementary Education and Psychology major with a minor in Special Education, Tassello was making her first trip abroad, and arrived with little command of the Spanish language. What seemed like a disadvantage became an opportunity for insight, however.
"Being placed in a country where they speak a different language makes you realize how important it is to be able to communicate well," she recalled. "It was especially beneficial to students like me who had a Special Education minor because it allowed us to see what it is like to have a disability."
Giannola, an associate professor of Education, explained that the students were able to compare and contrast the educational experiences of individuals with disabilities in Spanish schools and communities with the experiences that same population might have in the United States.
"They also visited schools and talked to the various stakeholders – teachers, parents and educational administrators – to determine what transition and employment opportunities are available for young adults with disabilities," Giannola said.
What the students found was not always what they expected.
"Their school system did come as a slight shock to me because of the way that it's set up," Tassello explained. "Students with disabilities are placed in schools that offer them a great education and allow them to be placed in occupational centers after schooling."
Kamens says there was a cultural component to the trip, as well. "It was an opportunity for students to discover the Spanish culture in its own right, as well as discover how it impacts children, in terms of how it supports students of diverse populations," she said.
Tassello agreed, adding that continued international experiences for Education students would prove invaluable.
"We had a chance to visit the American School in Barcelona, and it made me realize how amazing it would be to be able to teach or student-teach abroad," she said. Moore agreed, adding that the rigorous schedule demanded of most Education majors sometimes precludes them from study aboard experiences, but, "Learning about our major overseas makes us even more worldly and marketable," she suggested.

I knew you long before
pursuit's intention shone,
felt you in sun's fiery warmth
& shooting star surrender,
heard your voice on soft
burbled whispers of sweet zephyrs
and nectar'd songs of hummingbirds,
saw your depths of magnificence
in sapphire ocean tides
cresting 'neath effulgent moons
savoring breaths of crystalline
snowflakes on crisp sea air,
I knew strength in your convictions
for it braved every fantasy's illusion
acquiesced 'tween dulcet desires,
whilst the strong presence of your charms
envelop'd every night's dreaming

The wind laughs softly
The full moon with the stars
In the sky,
As I lie near the fountain
Gazing at the
Exquisite beauty
Of the nature.
It's the charm of the moon
Opens so many thoughts
And dreams.
The moon
Looks like a beautiful
Dancing with the troop of
The professional stars.
Twisting carelessly with the
Elegance of a swan
Through the lilac beauty
Of the spring time.
The sky seems a bandanna.
A dewy freshness
Fills my heart and soul.
How beautiful is the night,
I captivated, enchanted.
Oh! Gealach,
ben reine ny hoie.
"Gealach" means......Brightness,
"ben reine ny hoie" means.....Queen of the night.
The language of the Isle of Man.
The moon and the moon poetry
in general seems to dispel the
human centredness that we all
suffer from.
Thank you for reading.

I have died to see my life grow from this dark holes of endless torture, nothing is here to
stay, I do not want the nights to fall upon dead eyes, sober the ecstasy the devil put on your lips, behold the end with embraced cold, this night will kill us all, fear the dead for been the ones to judge tonight, the clouds walk straight to grave, the moon shines bright in red, the sun dances under endless fire, we the child's have failed to acknowledge wrong, we have fought the war by ourselves, we don't feel the sun warm our face at morning shine by our behaviors, we don't die for free, either vane, fear this hell to rise upon your shoulders, I fear the end with shattered dreams of desperation, cant scream either punch, walls are too strong, sweat blinds my eyes, sweat cleans my filthy soul, take down the moon tonight dear, I shall pay you with my blood, devils stealing souls, we cant sleep to lose it all, loosing my eyes to see beyond the horizon burning, the smoke makes the day die fast, I don't want to live if all I feel is pain, either do many, my name is not of importance, but the feeling is the one to make the night, dancing upon the chest of the earth, tonight we shine with the moon dressed in red, tomorrow we rule the sky, for yesterday we ruled the grounds, underworlds are dying to see me arrive, I am welcome to this dinner, deals are broken tonight, we have sold what we don't have to give the better plan, oh green threes, they still live inside a cruel dead state end, bring me the horizon, bring me the hells, that I know this will decay, that I know this will perish, oh my heart will stop the night of the red dance... Prayers are heard yester night, the song is loud, making the clouds tremble and dance, darken eyes, you see the sky full of darken eyes, you lay at night to line the clouds and you make pitiful devils out of the big galaxy above you, this is not the end, I am the man who writes down your prayers, who writes down each tear numbered by deceitful plague, bring my eyes to see the skies, please break me free from this night, from this cell, cold and chained, far away, we keep on trying, breaking the trust of our friends, no one will save us now, is not now, I don't need the time, I am dead to you and I refuse to be your slave, engrave my eyes in this decayed kingdom of fallen messiah's, please give me time to fear your wrath, please give me the signs of victory, I want and need to know how much you feel for me, I feed you with my blood, now repay

Side by side we shall swim our sea of dreams,
float the waves and their caressing kisses.
Walk the stars holding hands, tip toe stardust
as it falls, answer the echo of beating hearts.
And in the land where rainbows span, the
souls wish shall be sated by that gift of
eternity. The foreverness of you is my life's
desire, as your fragrance fills the boundaries
of my senses. For I was smitten by that first
touch, when eyes said and meant so much,
when this heart fell to its knees and I found
loves finest hour. When paradise could not
comprehend nor heaven compare to that
pleasure that filled this heart. Forever let
these lips taste of you, forever be the
morning view and sunsets fall, my warming
sun and calling moon.

The moon dripped like wax through
the canopy of the pines, light and
shadow were scattered across the
ground like playing cards.
The air was still, the scent of danger
there but difficult to locate, yet the
nostrils still twitched in mistrust.
In knowing that this is their time,
time to forage, snout and graze this
fertile floor, it is also realized that
this is the hour of the hunter, he
who walks with feet shod in death.
In the absence of scent sound is the
ally the startled bird a friend and the
passing cloud a closet in which to
Cloven feet tread the fern, in this
tranquillity all is fostering, caring,
the procedure of life has no pace
but always achieves its aim, natural
progression achieved by time and
adaptation, little gained by the ever
presence of man, more so the rigid
adaptability to the elements given.
Yes I walk the forest at night, not
with rifle or bow, but with my dogs,
dreams and respect.

There is an old saying....
keep your friends near, but keep your enemies even closer...
This is a poem about a very smart Chick...
Who was very resourceful and very slick...
Rumor had it there was a Wolf, and he had a way...
Of taking advantage of everyone on any given day...
He had terrorized the neighborhood for the very last time...
They had a town meeting , and all agreed...
That the only choice was a dastardly deed...
Chick volunteered to take on the challenge...
And majority stated, he had to explunge...
"I'd love to have you over for dinner on Friday " said Chick...
To which Wolf stated quite arrogantly, but quick...
It would be my pleasure...see you at eight...
There was a beautiful shining Harvest Moon, when Wolf arrived at the gate...
Come sit in my hot tub, said Chick turning on some tunes...
Dinner should be ready very soon...
The water is hot , said the Wolf...
Ahh , but your body will feel so much better...
Just relax and drink this wine, dinner will have much more flavor...
Hours went by...then the doorbell rang...
It was the Pigs, from town known as the " gang "...
Quick grab a chair and please be aware ...
That I have slaved all day for this affair...
One which will change your perception of me...
I might be a Chick, but as you will see...
I have accepted the challenge, and done my best...
So do me a favor and please honor my request ...
Use your best table manners, and please do not squeal...
And for everyone's sake, try not to " Wolf " down this meal...

Plant Earth, full of crystal clear waters
Blue as far as the sky can see
Land masses to hold intriguing life forms
Not knowing of its true power
Maybe its just innocence or ignorance
Greens poke their heads out of the ground to say 'hello'
Your not alone
Look up and you'll see the sun (king)
Hot temperament
The suns been worshipped and feared
A super powerful light source
But don't get to near or it'll burn you for life
The sun was bullied by all the other planets
When it was just a star starting out
Got ostracized for being a nosense
(To big and to damn bright)
None of the other planets wanted it around
Until Earth shook hands and exchanged conversation
Meteorites are just gossips
Flying to each destination on a full tank of gas
Not caring who it hits
Shooting stars are the ballerinas of the universe
They give off a mysterious flare
Make a wish and it'll come true
Just keep that image in your mind
The moon wanted to quit years ago
Felt that it had no purpose
Just a grey boulder that gets in the way

I shall wait for you to come my beloved
For you are my white star of twilight
The moon in the sky's far end
I shall rise up with thee
Lie down with thee
For in my dreams thou art always with me
Oh Great Spirit
When our time has come
Join us together as one in the wilderness of your sacred home
When you look upon us give us your peace and refreshing sleep
For you and I my beloved, are two halves joined together
Each others distant shore
The left and right wings of the bird
Two halves of a seashell
We are apart, yet connected by a greater love
I shall wait for you my love
The sun and moon bless the union of our spirits
Designed by our Creator for life's endless journey
Joined like a tree to earth, a cloud in the sky
You are a part of me, as I am of you
Bonded by the Great White Spirit
You are my love, my heart's best friend
Our love will never cease, never end
I know it is thou who moves within my heart
Now and forever my beloved - I shall wait for you to come
Ayor' Anosh' ni' my love
"Ayor' Anosh' ni' means I love you in Navajo"

Changing Seasons
In a burst of color and animal choruses
Sovereign sun heralds in a golden morning –
The air was delicate with the perfume of cherry blossom
Blown in from the hem of pink rows that lined the
driveway on Grandpa's farm
I looked across at hay stacked verdant hills that were
Tossed with yellow daffodils, purple crocus and white snowdrops
They danced to the baton of the breeze and the
Hidden orchestra of lilting bird song of that fragrant spring morn
Grandma sang to me her songs of childhood
As we walked arm in arm amongst beds of fragrant roses
and budding fruit trees that whispered promises of full baskets
that would soon be heavy laden with the Summer fruits, preserves,
Pies and jam of a bountiful harvest, a few months from now
Summer came rich with its harvest, merry hearts
and long hazy, lazy summer days and nights scented
with wisteria, frogs and cicada, chirping and croaking
their melodious summer anthem of 'All is well with the world'
as we toasted to our full and wonderful life
Autumn brought in a more somber note and amber tones
though warm and restful, they soon told me - life is changing again
time quickly moves on - it prepared me for the winter and
the chill mirrored in the face of the full moon as it lit a silvery path
to my next season's change
The cherry trees glowed white against the dark night sky like iridescent bones along
the snow covered driveway - they waved their bony fingers goodbye
as I crunched solemnly down the long white corridor with slow steps and a heavy heart that was beating to the mournful dirge of hoot owls and creaking limbs – I blinked back tears under that star kissed sky and full moon that lit my path
The moon reminded me- each season has its bounty that I can treasure -I held those memories close to my well seasoned but thankful heart.

As I look up at the sky I see the moon is high
I feel the wolf deep inside he is trying to come alive
As the pain begins to start It feels as through I am being ripped apart
My joints start to bend and break
Soon the wolf will be fully awake.....

Close your eyes for awhile my friend, I heard there lies a moon far behind the black sky, I heard lovers were dancing beneath, can you hear them singing? I can feel their tipsy steps making rhymes on floor, and smell of perfumes filling the air, I heard a sun rises to brighten up their world, and birds do sing them charming melodies at morning, they say they have roses in colors and beautiful trees in the streets, and have they told you about the sea yet? They say it smells so wonderful and the delicate air of seas caresses their cheeks with soft wet breezes, oh my friend, what have we seen in the dark but the fragile ghosts that we are!
"Hush" whispered to me, "I lighted up a moon inside my heart and I smell lilies and jasmine in my nose, my dreams play tunes my heart dance on, they speak to me all night and there I see a starry night floats above, I feel the warmth of a sun in my soul as it hugs tight, whispering to me hymns of love and joy, lightening candles for hopes which had accompanied me amongst the dark, why have you closed your eyes my friend? Look through the colorful roses I painted for you with eyes wide open, let the lights off so you would see clearer, let the lights off so you can brighten up the world that hides with you, for my friend, what have we seen in the dark but the free spirits that we have become!

The moon is an envious thing
In a gulf of darkness
It circles the earth and ocean like a shark
It sees the beauty of the two
Jealous of the green and the blue
It shows its lighter side to them
Smiles to their face, but hides a darker half
It wants the ocean
Admires her
Desires her
Every night
It can see itself in her
A thirsty thing
He would pull her off
And make her his in the vastness of space
She feels the attraction too
A force tugging at her molecules
An inclination that pulls her
But while being drawn she stops and says,
"I would come to you.
I would.
But I already belong to another."

Spring breaks river's icy grip,
rushing, waters, icebergs slip.
Upon the banks sprouts shoots of green,
bursting newborns, grasses glean.
Robin-ready, Earth comes alive,
melting waters, rushing tides.
Earth shrugs off its Winter dress,
and comes alive to wakefulness.
Breathe in, sweet the southern breeze,
finches song, swaying trees.
Cardinals red on melting white,
songbirds sing the lambs' goodnight.
Vermillion shades of roses bloom,
budding under new Pink Moon.
Milk-splashed calves dash for the fields
as velvet lips touch Springtime yield.

Let us Not Lose Sight of the Moon, While Counting Stars
Sometimes we are so busy in our life with some unimportant things that we forget to give enough attention to our core and to the most important person for us.
The moon will never disappear while we counting the number of stars, and it will still remain more important than the star for our existence.
So moon represent those we dearly love and beloved, because we can always count on them when we need any support.
Deep in their heart, they will always be there for us in our daily life or whenever we have problem.
Therefore it is very important for them to be always involve in our life as a bridge between the stars and moon.
Received attention from others or give it back to them is a privileged in a relationship and it can give good feeling, so do not let the most important people in our life to suffer.
It may give a wrong impression which can cause jealousy or attention came out from deficiency and that brings us into trouble.
Because there may be disagreements come from the wrong flow and causing an unpleasant situation with mixed feeling.
That would turn our entire standard of living to be unbalanced which can give a different meaning for our life and we do not feel at ease.
If we really can think good about it and read into other's people mind then we should have absolutely taken into account with it.
Because we ourselves were probably also not accepted it so we have to try avoid bad things from being happened.
But things done is done, just let go but take it as a good lesson for next time.
As the proverb say "Don't lose the moon while counting the stars".
I wish you a healthy life.
Kindly Regards,

Camping in a beautiful green glade on a warm June night the darkness was total,
Every place and scene on this still and thoughtful night unlocked it's essence,
Every spot has its own sentiment and each one with a rich and peculiar perfume,
The leafy scent of trees the smell of forest turf an earthy odor deep and rich.
Caught on a light breeze was the fragrant breath of sweetbrier natures perfume,
We had the delicious effusion from a clover or bean-field a lingering fragrance,
At our canvas tent we had the warm rich smell of peat on a red glowing wood fire,
A smell that tells you that it is the end of the day so just rest, talk and enjoy,
We could hear crickets that singing in the hedge surrounding the dark leafy glade,
A night thrush in an old elm that over canopies our tent, silhouetted by the moon,
There is a balmy softness in the air and the other trees stand in shadowy masses,
These shadowy masses seem to listen to the still and musing black skies above them.
Near is a soft gloom beneath umbrageous hedges, how soft, beautiful is a June night,
What can equal this pleasant feeling in this dark camp the smell of burning meths's,
The moon beams down like a celestial creature the evening stars burns with radiance,
As I lay in my sleeping bag and shut my weary old eyes this moment will last forever.

A great man with a powerful voice – died mute-
Sold over a quarter of a million albums – died with records of debts-
Performed before millions and made them all happy- never had the chance to be happy himself-
Crown with dignity and prestige – buried with clay and dust.

It seemed so clear and plain to me that those urges for repetitive behaviors and tendencies were hard to tame.
It seemed that there simply was no recourse from a life locked in "drive" on a one way street that always ended up the same.
Like a loaded locomotive headed across the plains, providing no great views of mountains or rivers; there too was a longing inside of me to stop and get off this fast train.
As our lives approach the setting of the sun, and the evening star appears, it seems appropriate to take a little more time to contemplate, meditate, and rearrange.
I thinks perhaps it's true that there is sometimes less to be gained from vain repetition; and sometimes, I think that second opinions are required to relieve more pain.

Tamera liked to run in the cold, on a whim she stopped by Woolworth and bought a package
of hot tamale candies to eat after her run. She loved having a reward for everything.
Wearing her golden sweatpants Tamera decided to run laps, which she loved to do on the
track alone late at night as the moon tipped his head and winked at her. She started this
shortly after her divorce. It was cathartic for her to watch her warm breath rise in the cold
air. Running in the winter made her feel alive to be so cold, to run and beat the elements.
She loved the feel of the wind in her hair as she ran.
She didn't notice the man that joined her, until he passed her. She hadn't seen him before.
He had a Florida Gators jersey, orange sweat pants and a blue ski hat on. She liked his
strides, they seemed fluid. She had only been running a few years herself. It was a hobby
that she enjoyed. Having company on the track felt good, normally she had the track all to
herself. She usually left after running three miles. Tonight she felt like running more laps
than usual. She kept running. Her new friend kept running too. Tamera was always
competitive. Who knew maybe she could outrun him.
She found her rhythm and felt the adrenaline rush of the endorphins finally kick in. That's
what she like about jogging, the endorphines. It felt freaking out of this world!
Her heart was beating fast, her breathing was steady. Her strides were growing wider and
longer. It felt so good to Tamera to be alive and one with the track. She almost felt like
she was flying over the Grand Canyon.
She kept running and running, until she could hardly feel her legs. They felt numb, she heard
the crowd as they cheered for her. She saw every handsome man that she had ever known
standing on the sidelines naked as they were cheering for her. She smiled at them as she
passed them by like a blur, for she was so fast. She imagined her ex-husband lying on the
ground rolling around in sheer pain as she ran all over him to win the race. She saw herself
jumping over the highest hurdles with the grace of an agile deer. She was in her runner's
After a while, she noticed she had the track all to herself once again and her handsome
gentleman, Mr. Moon had also moved along. When she checked her mileage counter, Tamera
had run eleven miles. It was a great run, the best she had ever had. It was a great night to
be alive!

The moon, a golden doubloon buried in the midnight sky, amongst a billion diamond
speckles, shimmers in the warm summer night's air, as it slowly climbs to its zenith. The
lake reflects the scene back a thousands times on a thousand different ripples as oars
silently part the dark waters leaving star trails in their wake. In the small boat a girl lies
on the bottom, her long dark tresses hidden beneath a dark woolen cloak. Her sparkling
green eyes squeezed closed tight. Her full lips hold no emotion in them only lay still,
betraying nothing. Her delicate hands clasped behind her back bound there by a coarse
rope which winds its way around her small soft breasts and makes its way down to her
bare tender feet, trussing her up as neatly as a pig on its way to market. Yet there is no
fear in her eyes. No tears running down her smooth pale cheeks. No breath quickening in
her chest. Yet when she opens her bright green eyes, out emits what can only be called
faith and hope, like sunbeams through holes in the clouds, as if she knows someone is
waiting for her just on the other side of this moment, waiting to rescue her from a peril
she knows not what. Yet no one does. She is now laying on a cold gray beach. The girl
turns away. Not caring about the pain that tears through her hands and feet. Tears run
down her cheeks in torrents. Her body convulses silently. And there in the first of the
morning light, lying on the pale white sand, she fills utterly alone for the first time in her
life. And as the waves crash on the shore, the suns rays burst forth filling the world, she
lets herself go. Her hair is plastered to her face, she doesn't notice. Someone has undone
her bound legs. She didn't even feel it. Slowly a strong calloused hand pulls her to her
feet. She lets it. Empty now she lets them gently push her along a narrow trail that leads
farther away from the place that use to be her home. She sags to the ground. Let them
kill her. She would welcome it. She would beg for it if she could only find her voice, but
she lost that when she lost her heart. Her heart, somewhere back on the sands, at the
edge of the lake. Somewhere where the waves are crashing down on top of it, crushing it,
slowly dragging it out to a dark watery grave, where it wont have to bare the light of day
again, where it can dwell in the darkness that it so desperately wants to consume it.

I can still see you
Stop hiding your face
How could you forget the fun night?
Your appeared in might
I loved you
You loved me back
My beautiful might
Bright and handsome
Wide and awesome
Surrounded by your star cousins
You lit the way for me
As i danced in your mightness
In your brightness
I guess those nights arent meant to last
Next time i see you, will your be half or full?
Will your love be half or full?

Dark moon day of August
I stepping on a nail
hospital tetanus shot
I draw Kenaz from my Rune bag
Sitting out at night
First time crickets sing
Starry sky's Milky Way
Two shooting stars see me
My black cat runs by
Dog howls down the road
Forest spirits are afoot
Really too much magic

Every night, we take the moon home.
Split it in half,
and tuck it away beneath our ribs
for safe keeping. I always wince,
because of bruises that never
heal but her smile kills that pain,
and when we get home
we get to dance under the same
light that led us to each other,
fashioning our love to the
ceiling above, so it's shine
can light the only world that
matters to us anymore.
When we get home,
the rest goes dark,
and Earth's rotation
adapts, forced to synchronize
with the steps of our feet
across the only real living room.
She says she'll give it back
when I decide the pain is
no longer worth walks in the
shade of rain.
t e a s
ing me with
the zap of lightning's charm.
But you see,
this burdened cage of love's misery
is a metronome's swing to the
beat of infinity.
And so I press play on the
heart of this, my favorite song
and once again, hold out my
hand..and wait for her to
take my pain away.

When I saw that blood red moon
I saw it once before in a dream where
I felt you near me, the angel of death, I abhor.
Never have I feared you since I knew you'd come
someday to claim my gruesome body that has flown astray.
A thousand tears and pleadings is why that moon is red;
it tis a living symbol of all the blood you've shed.
Add me NOT I ask you, for I don't plead you see,
God sent you here to take me and with him I do agree.
For I have toiled and tarried and crawled upon life's road
and all I've found is falsehood, a despair I've always known.
And now the light of heaven has finally seen my frame, beaten
worn and tired of this pathetic game.
Spare me angel of darkness and fear not my disdain,
for adore I do that you have come to end my life and pain.

We hear the soft playing of many strings
In heaven we both do alight
Heart's singing in the dead of night
Standing in the moonlight's glow how we do shine
The heart beats to angelic song
Come into my arms for the dance of romance
We shall waltz before our lover's moon
Your body held in love's embrace as we twirl
Our personal spotlight fills our hearts with joy
Your eyes hold mine enraptured as we dance
I always drown within their reflective beauty
You are an angel in heaven's domain
I dance with you through the star filled fields
Moonlight falls upon you and you are alive with light
An angel holding heaven's glory this you are
We shall dance through night 'till morning breaks
Forget all your worries and your cares
In our embrace you shall know only joy and peace
Our shadows ever play across the moon
Love's embrace held within a dream always
The mystical rays of life ever caress you
Forever remember A Dance Before The Moon

My love I know not where you be
nor if you love me verily.
I only know you like me now
for the moment, this present time
till we part ways like loving clouds
that drift apart in the wide sky.
Shall we e'er be one like the moon,
our hearts firmly together, our boon?
I hope so, for you are my dreams.

The full moon shiniest bright inside its double ringed circle as I hoped to see the blood moon meteorologist talked about all week.
Sad to say I missed the moment so many gazed with their telescopes and cameras.
I pulled back the white sheer curtain to see the full moon shining its soft shine into my dark room.
A brown curtain is all that keeps prying eyes from peeping in the sliding glass door at midnight.
The wooded area so close behind my house hides much.
No animals roaming, vertical or upright, can see me sitting, watching TV or on my iPad late into the wee hours of the morning.
October 8 2014 sees another blood moon, but I missed it all.
Maybe the next one will grace my eyes with its beauty.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A third-base market Brian Cashman called "limited" Tuesday became even more so Wednesday.
Two of the Yankees' top choices to fill the void left by Alex Rodriguez, who more than a few in the organization think is unlikely to play at all in 2013 after he undergoes hip surgery in January, came off the free-agent board Wednesday.
Eric Chavez, a Yankee the last two seasons, agreed to a one-year contract worth a reported $3 million with the Diamondbacks. Jeff Keppinger, whom the Yankees hoped to platoon with the lefthanded hitting Chavez, agreed to a two-year deal, worth a reported $12 million, with the White Sox.
"The Yankees have traditionally been high bidders, yes," manager Joe Girardi said of the team being under financial restraint given the ownership mandate to get payroll under $189 million by 2014.
That has kept the team from going after high-profile free agents like Josh Hamilton.
But the edict also has hindered the club's pursuit of more minor deals, causing Russell Martin to choose the Pirates after the Yankees never made an offer, and never seriously entering the bidding for Keppinger and Chavez.
Not surprisingly, the approach isn't popular with super-agents like Scott Boras, who counts Rafael Soriano among his stable of big-name clients.
"I think the model to be a Goliath is wholly different than the approach they're taking,'' Boras said Wednesday.
"You have to start thinking about what do you do next when guys go off the board," Joe Girardi said.
What next, indeed.
The Yankees talked again with the agents for Kevin Youkilis and Mark Reynolds, and also expressed an interest in Jack Hannahan, non-tendered by the Indians last week.
"Good enough fielder," one AL executive said of Hannahan. "Very limited, to put it generously, with the bat.''
The lefthanded hitting Hannahan, 32, hit .244 with a .312 on-base percentage last season with Cleveland, including .270/.331 against righthanders.
The righthanded hitting Reynolds hit .221/.335 last season with 23 homers and 69 RBIs. Twenty of the homers and 55 of the RBIs came against righthanders.
Youkilis is the most complete player of those left on the third-base market, but has had difficulty staying healthy.
While third base has taken over as the priority, the Yankees still have major holes to fill at catcher and rightfield.
Cashman has maintained all week the former is likely to be filled from within -- Francisco Cervelli, Chris Stewart and Austin Romine are on the 40-man roster -- while Ichiro Suzuki, Scott Hairston and Nate Schierholtz have all drawn significant interested from the Yankees as options in right. The team has liked Hairston all offseason. But Schierholtz reportedly reached a one-year agreement Wednesday night with the Cubs.
The Yankees have made it known that anyone under their control without a full no-trade clause -- such as Curtis Granderson -- can be had. But the problem is matching up.
Nothing, of course, is won in November and December in baseball, a good thing because Girardi acknowledged his current lineup doesn't look very Bronx Bomber-like.
"I think that's fair to say right now but I don't necessarily think it's going to be that way come Feb. 10, when we get ready to go to camp," Girardi said. "But right now we don't know who's going to play rightfield, we don't know who's going to play third base.''

It's typical of many professions to cultivate an aura of infallibility and monopoly control of information. Open source doesn't work that way. There are prima donnas, to be sure, but the culture requires practitioners to show their cards, and it erodes information monopolies. Shared code is just the tip of the iceberg. Below the waterline, there's a vast body of shared knowledge and tradition, grounded in what Tim O'Reilly calls an architecture of participation. We've come to see open source as an economic innovation. Cooperative production of commodity infrastructure paves the way for competitive production of high-value products and services. Perhaps we'll someday see open source as an educational innovation, too. Cooperative production of shared knowledge isn't just a by-product. When apprentices, journeymen, and masters engage in a continuous cycle of learning and teaching, an old approach to education is made new again.

*Full text (105 lines) of a Plough Monday Plough Lads' Play from East Bridgford, Notts., apparently being a collated version of the script in M99 13/1-6, collected from A.S.Huskinson by Gertrude Fox (see TD00755) and which ceased about 1914. The characters are: Tom Fool, Recruiting Sergeant, Farmer's Man/Ploughboy, Lady Bright, King or St. George, and Doctor.
This appears to be the version from which A.S.Buxton's copy was made (see TD00451). His copy includes a mis-transcript of "big XL" for "big 'ed" in the first line, and this mistake has also been propagated through to the copy in the M.W.Barley Collection.

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jul 18, 2011
Fires raging in central Africa are generating a high amount of pollution that is showing up in data from NASA's Aura Satellite, with the ominous shape of a dark red butterfly in the skies over southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola.
An image of the pollution from agricultural fires in central Africa was created from data of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels over the period from July 7 to 12, 2011. It was created from Ozone Measuring Instrument (OMI) data using the NASA Giovanni system by Dr. James Acker at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Each year, people in the region burn croplands to clear fields after harvests. Burning is also used to create new growth in pastures and move grazing animals to new locations.
NO2 forms during fires when nitrogen reacts with oxygen. In fact, NO2 is formed in any combustion process where the oxygen is provided by Earth's atmosphere.
Detection of NO2 is important because it reacts with sunlight to create low-level ozone or smog and poor air quality. The OMI instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aura satellite is able to detect NO2. Low-level ozone (smog) is hazardous to the health of both plants and animals, and ozone in association with particulate matter causes respiratory problems in humans.
OMI measures NO2 by the number of molecules in a cubic centimeter. The highest concentrations appear in dark red and are coming from extreme northern Angola and south central part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The high concentration coming from the DRC appears to look like a butterfly.
OMI data is archived at the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), and is provided by KNMI, the Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute). Dr. P.F. Levelt is the Principal Investigator of OMI, Dr. J. Tamminen is the Finnish Co-PI, and Dr. P.K. Bhartia leads the U.S. OMI science team. Dr. James Gleason (NASA) and Pepijn Veefkind (KNMI) are PIs of the OMI NO2 product.

As I did nothing but 4x5 B&W for the last 25 years, I would like to have a manual digital camera that is high quality.
Please comment briefly on your reaction to these "smart" cameras.
Some people blindly rely on whatever automation they can get and have no desire to learn beyond that point. The rest of us could use better technology in an emergency. I don't think it will change the way people work. I'm keeping my incident meter.
I can see different responses to this is you are asking about a consumer camera vs. a pro or prosumer. I think that higher-end cameras should always allow more control, but I with think that consumers would welcme all the help they can get.
I've been a photographer for over 61 year. I never turned "pro" although I have made money out of it. I consider myself a ver advanced, semi-pro, ameteur. If the camera has all of the bells and whistles, and still lets me choose exposure and apiture, sure, I'll buy it. I have never bought a point-and-shoot camera for myself.
If the new technology allows more people to experience the pleasure of photography thaen it's a great thing. A camera will never take the place of good composition, lighting, framing etc. What constitutes a "good" image will always be the result of how the photographer uses their own vision of the moment.
As I get older and my visual acuity lessens I tend to rely on the technological aspects of the newer cameras to compensate. Particularly in situations where lighting is tricky and crisp focusing is called for...
I love technology; I consider myself an 'early adopter' beginning the the early PCs (think 'floppy disks') as well as digital cameras. However, there has been a tendency to use techno-fads as a marketing tool and not necessarily as either a) productivity, or b) qualitative enhancements. Techno features need to be evaluated, as everything else, against the intended use of the camera ... and not to forget, the equipment already at hand. Can't go out buying new 'gitzmos' just because the ads sound attractive. One man's opinion.
I like to control the camera, but technology can provide useful adjuncts when you need them. However, I would love to see a well made simple DSLR like a Nikon F or Olympus OM1. Wouldn't that be fun!
I wouldn't base a decision on just one aspect of the questionaire; while it is true that some enthusiasts may prefer ' smart ' to 'craft', it is good to have ALL the options available. I personally normally shoot in man' mode, however there are times, when there is not ample time to set up, and in these situations smart features are good to have.Image quality, which is based on "smart" technology, in my opinion is far more important.
It's not uncommon to be in an "it's now or never-no re-shoots situation". Therefore, I find occasions to use my knowledge, past experience, as well as, backup shots determined by the smarts of the camera. Beats crying over the losses.
I'm a die hard of my old minolta, everything is manual, thats how i learned alot of techniques, but I also love the new technology, I think it better helps photographers capture the image they truly want, without having to hope it came out right and being disappointed when it didn't, the craft is still very much in the hand of the photographers, if someone isn't taking good photos, it's them not the camera, even if you give them a thousand dollar camera, their pictures still won't look right.
Smart is great. Especially when it provides me with information and options to execute my vision and get the picture. Smart is even better when I can opt out, because I'm smarter than the computer, its just quicker and has better arithmetic.

"Over the past few days, I discovered that the Gentoo Foundation's charter is in the process of being revoked by the state of New Mexico, apparently due to regular paperwork not being filed by the trustees. What this means is that the Gentoo Foundation is currently hanging for its life by a string, and at any day could cease to exist as an entity. That is the very bad news. The good news is that I was able to talk to Grant Goodyear (trustee) this morning on the phone, and I have confirmed that Grant had received my email about the revocation issue that I sent 2 days ago and that he will be resolving this critical issue in the next couple of days by filing the appropriate paperwork with the state of New Mexico, and this paperwork will also remove me as President of the Foundation."

RE[3]: Please Explain
by b00gie on Tue 24th Jul 2007 02:06 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Please Explain"
If you're referring to stable arch then yes, maybe it is two versions behind but thats just the way things are is with Gentoo. People wanted a stable package level and thats what they got, gentoo has at heart always been about being bleeding edge so itś not surprising the stable packages are updated a little slowly and as someone else has pointed out you don't have to sit at either arch or ~arch, you can pick and choose.
i hope you understand that stable releases mean fewer bugs. It's not a feature or an advantage to delay so much to get stable version. Kde is 3.5.5 stable while almost all the other major distro have move to 3.5.6.
If thats how Gentoo works well, something is wrong (and wasn't always like that).
Bleeding edge in terms of a testing release is not a unique feature tou gentoo. Take fedora and upgrade to rawhide, there you are.
The point is that if you want to be at the bleeding edge like a whole distro then you have to make it stable before all the others, and support the new version from day one upstream release it.
But something like that demands more developers and some passion that i'm afraid they have lost...

At the departure airport, at the arrival airport and in the hours before kickoff at Qualcomm Stadium, the nature of the questions was startlingly consistent.
"Which team are we going to get tonight?" "Think we'll show up tonight?" Cal supporters, proudly wearing the blue-and-gold, wondered aloud Wednesday whether they might be rewarded for investing in this holiday-season trip to Southern California for a football game called the Poinsettia Bowl. The maddening inconsistency of this once-promising season very much on their minds, they fretted and fidgeted and fussed. And questioned.
They surely did not like the answer provided by Utah's 37-27 victory over the Golden Bears.
They had even less reason to like the way this game unfolded.
The Bears were outgained, outhustled by outmaneuvered by their Mountain West Conference opponent. Furthermore — and this is the most galling part for Old Blues — they were thoroughly outcoached.
Cal (8-5) flashed to a 14-0 lead in the first 10 minutes and was outscored 37-13 over the final 50 minutes. The Utes (10-3) responded to their early futility by closing the holes in their run defense, effectively stifling Cal; tailback Shane Vereen had 77 yards on eight carries in the first quarter, 45 on 12 after that. And once Utah quickened the pace of its no-huddle offense, the Golden Bears defense lost its way.
"They kind of surprised us, especially in the second quarter," linebacker Mike Mohamed said.
Though Cal coach Jeff Tedford and his staff countered with adjustments that made the second half more competitive, the outcome was decided when the Utes rolled up 37 of the 44 points scored during the heart of the game. Freshman quarterback Jordan Wynn passed for 338 yards.
For the fifth time this season, Tedford and the Bears were double-digit victims, fairly dominated. The cumulative score of their five losses — 42-3 at Oregon, 30-3 to USC, 31-14 to Oregon State, 42-10 at Washington and the Utah final — is 182-57.
The cumulative effect is a solid coach searching for answers and coming up empty, with the exception of earnestly modulated platitudes.
Asked to assess a year that opened with Cal ranked No. 12 in the preseason, rose as high as sixth and finished completely out of the Top 25, Tedford mostly credited the competition. He singled out Oregon's Jeremiah Masoli and Washington's Jake Locker as "hot quarterbacks" who torched the Bears.
Rather than blame himself or his players in public, he credited the opposition. It's a noble gesture, one to expect from Tedford.
Privately, though, he's agitated. Has to be. Despite taking the Bears to bowl games in seven consecutive seasons, he has to believe he can be a better coach, and that his players can be more consistent.
My guess is he's profoundly disappointed. The same can be said of many of those who follow his program. The losing is something they can handle. It was a way of life when Cal was going to five bowl games in the 43 years preceding Tedford's arrival in 2002.
The inconsistency and being dominated, though, that's hard to accept when there are expectations. Even though quarterback Kevin Riley has not progressed as anticipated, Cal played well enough in spurts to provide displays of its talent.
Which is why the lopsided defeats get scrutinized ever more closely, leading to questions of preparation and inspiration. From there, it's a small step to wondering which Cal team is going to show up for a given game.
"It was almost like two seasons," Mohamed said. "There were really good games where we showed up and played Cal football. And there were other games where we got blown out." This is where Tedford and his program are, even if the coach is the best thing to happen to the program.
So there they were, at least 10,000 strong, sitting in a half-empty football stadium two nights before Christmas. What must be understood is neither Cal nor its dedicated followers longed for this invitation, to the Poinsettia Bowl, a 5-year-old gathering that amounts to a dry run for next week's more prestigious Holiday Bowl at the same stadium.
But the Poinsettia gets the team that finishes sixth in the Pac-10, and that's where the Golden Bears — who could have finished as high as a tie for second — landed after being humiliated by a mediocre Washington team in the Dec. 5 regular-season finale.
Into the offseason the Bears go, wondering what happened, leaving their supporters in a fog. They wanted to know which Cal team would show up and they got their answer.
They got both. The good Bears in spurts, the bad Bears during defining moments. Not exactly what they wanted to see.

Since Soviet tanks rolled into Afghanistan in December 1979, an estimated 500,000 people have been killed in a war that has pitted Soviet and Afghan military units against anti-Communist mujahedin guerrillas. The Soviets say they want to get out, but five years of talks in Geneva have yielded no results. The bloody conflict has largely taken place away from public attention, but two reporters succeeded in visiting the two sides of the conflict for TIME. Robert Schultheis spent two weeks in the field with the mujahedin, and Ken Olsen last week toured the battle zone with Afghan government troops. Their reports:...
