On Truth offers Krishnamurti's most profound ruminations on the search for truth. In 1929, he began his life of public teachings by saying, "Truth is a pathless land". Throughout his many years of speaking to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, he continually emphasized that truth cannot be approached through the instrument of thought. Truth is intangible and nameless and can only be realized through exploring the total movement of thought and its activities

Why Are You Being Educated?
The book consists of six talks that J. Krishnamurti gave at Indian universities and the Indian Institutes of Technology between 1969 and 1984. Krishnamurti's chief concern here is to awaken students to the fact that the pursuit of knowledge does not liberate man from his ignorance of himself. While knowledge is indispensable, it also creates the illusion that we have the intelligence to meet the challenges of life. This makes us neglect the vast and subtle field of the human psyche. This perspective comes through clearly in these talks, which therefore have significance not just for the young but also for parents, teachers and all those interested in the deeper issues of life.
Cost $23.25
Life Ahead
As the first collection of his talks to students and teachers, Life Ahead clearly illustrates Krishnamurti's views on education. In the introduction, he writes, "It seems to me that a totally different kind of morality and conduct and an action that springs from the understanding of the whole process of living, have become an urgent necessity in our world of mounting crises and problems."
Cost $22.20
Letters To A Young Friend
Life is a razor's edge and one has to walk on that path with exquisite care and with pliable wisdom"
J Krishnamurti
Between 1948 and the early 1960s, Krishnaji was easily accessible and many people came to him. On walks, in personal meetings, through letters, the relationships blossomed.
He wrote the following letters to a young friend who came to him wounded in body and mind. The letters, written between June 1948 and March 1960, reveal a rare compassion and clarity: the teaching and healing unfold; separation and distance disappear; the words flow; not a word is superfluous; the healing and teaching are simultaneous.
Cost $21.80
Edited by Mary Lutyens, Krishnamurti's biographer, this selection from a wide range of his published work has three parts: Problems of Living, For the Young and Questions & Answers. Whether answering students' questions or speaking from the platform, Krishnamurti directs our attention away from facile, predictable responses towards a more radical probing of the subjects of belief, education, love, life and death.
Cost $26.00
Three talks at the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan, two talks at Morcelo, Puerto Rico, three talks at Claremont College, California, and four talks at the New School for Social Research, New York City from 1968 comprise Talks with American Students.
From the book:
Most of us in this confused and brutal world try to carve out a private life of our own, a life in which we can be happy and peaceful and yet live with the things of this world. We seem to think that the daily life we lead, the life of struggle, conflict, pain and sorrow, is something separate from the outer world of misery and confusion. We seem to think that the individual, the 'you', is different from the rest of the world...When you look a little more closely, not only at your own life but also at the world, you will see that what you are- your daily life, what you think, what you feel,- is the external world, the world about you. You are the world, you are the human being that has made this world of utter disorder, the world that is crying helplessly in great sorrow.
...In bringing about a radical change in the human being, in you, you are naturally bringing about a radical change in the structure and the nature of society...
RELATIONSHIP- To Oneself, To Others, To the World
Teen guide to the meaning of relationship: what is relationship? To your friends, family, teachers? In love, sex, marriage? To work, money, government, society, nature? Culture, country, the world, God, the universe? Understand for yourself that we all live in relationships all the time, to each other, to ourselves, to the world. Modern quantum physics, most psychological insight, and all religions reveal the interconnectedness of everything in the universe-that everything always affects everything else. Because all life is lived in relationships, it is essential that we all understand what relationship can mean to us and everyone else. All our individual relationships put together create society. And attention to our individual relationships will recreate the world.The Dalai Lama calls Krishnamurti "One of the greatest thinkers of the age." Time magazine called Krishnamurti, along with Mother Teresa, "one of the five saints of the 20th century." J. Krishnamurti spoke to young people all over the world and founded schools in California, England, and India. "When one is young," he said, "one must be revolutionary, not merely in revolt to be psychologically revolutionary means non-acceptance of any pattern."
Cost $27.50
'The material contained in this volume was originally presented in the form of talks to students, teachers and parents in India, but its keen penetration and lucid simplicity will be deeply meaningful to thoughtful people everywhere, of all ages, and in every walk of life. Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic emotions as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power - all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society.' From the Editor's Note; Krishnamurti's observations and explorations of modern man's estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with astonishing morning freshness.' Anne Marrow Lindbergh
Cost $28.00
This book features excerpts on the title's theme from Krishnamurti's talks and discussions held between 1933 and 1967. They have proven helpful in dialogues and for use in high school and college classrooms. There are talks on marriage, love, relationship, and sex. Krishnamurti states, "sex becomes an extraordinary, difficult, and complex problem so long as you do not understand the mind." Krishnamurti asks the reader to investigate essential questions: How can I live with another without conflict? Why are relationships difficult? What is awareness in relationship? Do I really know what love is? What does it mean to learn in a relationship? What is the role of thought and memory in relating to another?
"There is no escape from relationship. In that relationship, which is the mirror in which we can see ourselves, we can discover what we are, our reactions, our prejudices, our fears, depression, anxieties, loneliness, sorrow, pain, grief. We can also discover whether we love or there is no such thing as love. So, we will examine this question of relationship because that is the basis of love." - J. Krishnamurti Madras, India, 1982.
WHAT Are You DOING With Your LIFE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? J. KRISHNAMURTI TEACHINGS FOR TEENS, edited by Dale Carlson. Teens learn to understand the self, the purpose of life, work, education, relationships. Through paying attention rather than accepting the authority of their conditioning, they can find out for themselves about love, sex, marriage, work, education, the meaning of life and how to change themselves and the world. The Dalai Lama calls Krishnamurti "One of the greatest thinkers of the age."

THE POCKET KRISHNAMURTI – Shambhala Classics
Here is a pocket-size collection of teachings from J. Krishnamurti, one of the most influential spiritual figures of the twentieth century. With great insight and immediacy, these teachings explore what Krishnamurti calls the art of living. He addresses such topics as the way of life without conflict; skill and clarity in action; living and dying; and meditation and the sacred in daily life. This previously unpublished material comes together to create a little gem to be taken to heart in living our lives simply and intelligently.
Cost $22.00
In 1950 Krishnamurti said: "It is only when the mind is not escaping in any form that it is possible to be in direct communion with that thing we call loneliness, the alone, and to have communion with that thing, there must be affection, there must be love." "On Love and Loneliness" is a compelling investigation of our intimate relationships with ourselves, others, and society. Krishnamurti suggests that "true relationship" can come into being only when there is self-knowledge of the conditions which divide and isolate individuals and groups. Only by renouncing the self can we understand the problem of loneliness, and truly love.
Cost $31.05
Krishnamurti, in excerpts from his talks and dialogues, states that knowledge, while necessary in practical areas, is of time and accumulation and prevents clear and accurate perception and observation in the moment in daily life.
Cost $29.85
At Brockwood Park, England, Krishnamurti in conversation with teachers addresses such questions as: Is it possible to transmit Krishnamurti's teachings to students through their subjects? The meaning of freedom and authority and having no motive or self-interest.

At this location, we also meet the physical therapy needs of the company dancers for The Richmond Ballet, including on site care for each performance. Convenient off street parking is available for those on their way to or from work by bike or car. We understand that life can be busy, so we offer flexible scheduling to the residents and work force of Downtown Richmond.
At Physical Therapy Solutions, we will provide physical therapy services that are not only designed to maximize your clinical outcome, but are personal and caring in nature. We take pride not only in our quality care and outcomes, but also in our level of customer service. We will strive to maximize clinical outcomes through extensive evaluation and treatment of symptoms and a proactive approach to addressing the underlying biomechanical causes.
The staff at Physical Therapy Solutions uses both hands-on manual treatment techniques as well as exercise based treatment programs to address a wide variety of non operative and post operative diagnoses. We believe both methods, when used together, provide the best possible outcome. Also, we understand that everyone responds differently to treatments. That is why each plan of care is tailored to each individual's needs.
No matter the joint affected; knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle, the staff at Physical Therapy Solutions will help you get back to the highest level of function possible, while controlling pain and other side effects of a joint replacement surgery.
While there are several ways to treat the spine, we at Physical Therapy Solutions believe a comprehensive approach that uses both hands-on manual techniques and exercise based treatment techniques provide the best outcomes possible. It is our goal to get you back to the activities you love as fast as possible.
Physical Therapy Solutions offers both over the counter and custom molded foot orthotics to help alleviate your pain and symptoms by helping to correct biomechanical issues affecting the ankle and foot. By helping to correct mechanical flaws, orthotics can help you return to a pain free lifestyle and activities you love.
At Physical Therapy Solutions, we strive to decrease your recovery time and facilitate a quick return to the sports you love. Our staff have a diverse background of upper level athletics, maintain active lifestyles, and have close working relationships with local athletic organizations. Our understanding of biomechanical demands combined with first-hand knowledge of sport specific techniques, skills, and proper form gives us a unique expertise and ability to get you safely back to your previous level of competition and beyond.
Some things just happen too fast to detect with the naked eye. From running form and gait analysis to pitching and throwing mechanics, Physical Therapy Solutions uses slow motion video analysis to pinpoint and identify potentially dangerous mechanical flaws that could lead to injury. Once the flaws are diagnosed, the cause of these issues can be addressed and a correction plan can be established to keep you safe and injury free.
Available at our Mechanicsville and Downtown/Ballet clinic, dry needling is an invasive procedure that involves inserting a solid filament needle into a myofascial trigger point within a muscle. This process promotes mechanical and biochemical changes within the muscle without the use of medication. When used as an adjunct to a physical therapy program, dry needling can effectively relieve pain and improve mobility.

For Additional Questions Please Contact Us
Yes. The choice of where you receive therapy is always yours. While the majority of our patients come to us by physician referral/recommendation, many clients request to see us due to our strong clinical reputation in the community.
With the exception of Medicare patients, we operate in a direct access state where, if your insurance plan authorizes self-referral to physical therapy, a physician referral is not necessary for you to be seen by a licensed therapist. Please check with your insurance though as many health insurance plans require a physician's referral for therapy to be covered. We also offer treatments, services and/or products that do NOT require a referral and are available on a self-pay basis.
At Physical Therapy Solutions, we participate in most health care plans and accept a variety of smaller plans. Additionally, we offer a variety of flexible self-pay and payment plan options. We understand that your injury may have a profound impact on your finances and are committed to finding a way to help you in a cost effective manor.
Many plans require that you make a co-payment at the time of your visit. We accept cash, check, or credit cards.
Some insurance plans may require that you get authorization from them before you visit us. Since this varies by plan and can be quite confusing, and sometimes overwhelming, please allow our staff to assist you. We do, however, encourage you to take an active role and share communication you receive from your insurance company with us. It is our goal that there be no "surprises" when it comes to the financial side of healthcare.
As a service to our patients, we will gladly file claims with your insurance company on your behalf. In order to appropriately submit these claims, we will need to obtain a copy of your insurance identification card to ensure that we have the necessary information.
Your therapist will conduct an evaluation of your condition lasting between 60-90 minutes. The evaluation is necessary to create a program designed specifically to address your needs for a maximum recovery.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to fill out initial paperwork.
You should also bring a copy of your prescription your physician gave you as well as a driver's license and your insurance cards.
Comfortable, loose clothing and athletic shoes. For women with shoulder or back problems, a tank-top or sports bra under your t-shirt would be ideal. For hip/knee and ankle issues, shorts are encouraged, as we will need to be able to access the injured area.

"This place is great. They do really good work. Alan is an amazing physical therapist. Good environment to help you get better."
"Kevin is the best PT ever!!!!"
"Having coached literally hundreds of runners in my 30+year coaching career, Physical Therapy Solutions has ALWAYS been my Go-To provider to send my athletes! They always work with the whole team (athlete, coach, parent and school athletic trainer) to find the most appropriate way to return to competition without jeopardizing a young athlete's future! At age 58 faced with a ruptured Quad Tendon, I turned to Physical Therapy Solutions for one of the most difficult assignments. The staff at PTS worked diligently and were incredible. I think the one thing they did best was to be realistic in what I could expect from a very debilitating surgery and developing a treatment plan that established reachable goes. The end result at age 61 I ran the Jacksonville River Run 15k without pain! I highly recommend Physical Therapy Solutions!"

1. Right Side Up -Right Side Up by the awesomely cool Judy Davis is such a great book, and I can not say it enough. Judy is a fellow blogger and downright inspirational lady. Judy's goal in writing the books was to provide motivation and encouragement so that milspouses view the life of a military life as an opportunity, not a burden. Judy's book is the perfect gift for yourself or a new milspouse.
3. The Power of a Praying Wife: Military Edition - This is simply the military edition of Stormie Omartian's book, "The Power of a Praying Wife." Stormie Omartian's nephew is a service member and this book was made available to chaplains across the services and can usually be found through them. It is a wonderful encouragement for wives, especially for those like myself who love direction and advice for prayers when it comes to my marriage and my husband. The Power of a Praying Husband is also available.
4. Faith Deployed...Again - This is the second in this series (Faith Deployed). These books are filled with wonderful stories of faith and encouragement from military spouses across the branches. I just happened to be a little partial to this one because one of my amazing friends is one of the authors. What is so wonderful about a book like this is you can pick it up and read it for hours, or choose one or two stories for a quick encouragement.
5. Psalm 51: Military Edition - Peggy Joyce Ruth has a whole series of Psalm 51 books, including Motherhood and Teen Editions. Along with the specific text of Psalm 51 there are encouraging words from Military personnel. While not specifically for the military spouse it is a great read and makes a great bible study, especially during a deployment.
6. Olive Drab Pom Poms - Kori Yates is the author of this motivational milspouse books from a Christian perspective. Military spouses spend a good chunk of our lives being cheerleaders for our families, sometimes with our Olive Drab {or Air Force Blue for me} pom poms. Finding our place in this crazy military life can be difficulty at times, and I know for me personally, my faith has played a huge role in getting me through some of the most difficult times.
7. Confessions of a Military Spouse - from the awesomely cool Mollie Gross comes this real, and almost certainly hilarious, view of milspouse life. How do we deal with life, all the twist and turns and ridiculousness of this life? The true confessions in this book will attempt to answer those questions and will probably have you rolling on the floor in no time.
8. The New Testament for Military Spouses - Along the same lines as the Psalm 51 book, but specifically for military spouses. It includes devotionals meant just for us, written by military spouses that have been there.
9. American Wife - There isn't much introduction needed for this book by Taya Kyle, wife of Chris Kyle. But its included in this life for a very good reason. It is a story we are all familiar with, but the book is about so much more. Its about a life we, as military spouses, can all relate to. It touches on our worst fears and our best moments. I still can't get over how emotional it was to meet her and to hear her speak. This book is a really intense extension of that. You can read about my experience here.
10. The Five Love Language: Military Edition - Another special edition of book, written just for military families. The stories is this book are real and, at times, intense. I was curious how well this book would be written, but the authors did their homework. The books takes the principals and advice for the original and adds a military twist. I'm currently working through this book more carefully then my original review read through and I can't wait to update ya'll on how it goes.
This is a great start for all you amazing military spouses out there! Deployment and separations suck! Even the day to day of military life has its struggles. But I know for me I've always found encouragement in the stories of others who have walked before me, or who are walking right along with me. It is that comraderie, either in person or in the pages of book that is true diamond in the rough of military life. Stay tuned for more lists like this.
do you have an awesome military book that provided some encouragement to you? Tell me about it!

Jealous! I have this pre-ordered, but I have to wait. 🙁
Oh I first read her with Among Others and completely loved her style. Congratulations on getting this 🙂
Lucky you. I loved Among Others as well.
I was interested when I heard about it at the start of the year. Looking forward to more Walton fiction.
Greyhound to Philly. Yep, this is worth it.
I just got my hands on this too! Very exciting.

Aaron Hernandez trial resumes after another juror note
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Testimony has resumed in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez after the judge received another note from a juror.
Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh began Tuesday's session by calling Hernandez, his lawyers and prosecutors up to the bench to privately discuss the note. She did not say what it was about.
Jurors have sent several notes during the 2-month-long trial, and many have resulted in scheduling changes. A few have preceded jurors being dismissed from the case.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
Special Agent Eric Perry resumed his testimony about maps he made using data pulled off cellphones owned by Lloyd and others surrounding the case.

Hospital: 4 from Copiague treated in hyperbaric chamber
Two teenage girls and two men taken from a Copiague house with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning Tuesday were admitted to Nassau University Medical Center for treatment in a hyperbaric chamber, a hospital spokeswoman said.
A fifth person, identified by police only as a 41-year-old woman, was treated at the hospital and later released.
A Suffolk County police spokeswoman said all five victims discovered inside the home on Deauville Boulevard early Tuesday were "expected to make a full recovery."
Police identified the victims as a 58-year-old man, a 53-year-old man, a 41-year-old woman and two girls ages 15 and 16.
The incident was reported at about 6:30 a.m. -- and a rescue team from the Copiague Fire Department was dispatched to the scene at 6:38 a.m., police said. Responders found one of the men "semiconscious," and the other four victims all were conscious. The identities of the victims were not released.
Four of the five victims were treated in a hyperbaric chamber, which is used to deliver hyperbaric oxygen therapy to promote healing of victims of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The Town of Babylon fire marshal and fire investigators are looking at a faulty furnace vent as the possible cause for the incident, police said.

As one of the leaders of the United States team that took gold during the Games, Anthony returned to North Greenwich on Thursday night to put in another star performance, securing 26 points in the Knicks' 102-87 victory over a young Detroit Pistons team.
Anthony, who helped the Knicks explode into a 16-2 lead they never surrendered in this regular-season contest said: "It felt good out there.
"The crowd was fantastic. It's a sell-out crowd, there was great energy in the building and everybody has come out to support the New York Knicks, the NBA as a whole, the Detroit Pistons.
"I definitely had some flash backs running out on court."
Another member of the all-conquering United States team, Tyson Chandler, added 10 points and 14 rebounds, while Amar'e Stoudemire scored 17 and JR Smith 16.
The game attracted a mammoth crowd of 18,689, and saw elite level basketball return to the capital for the first time since Anthony, Chandler and company beat Spain 107-100 in August's final
During that time, it was hoped the Olympics would spur Britain to embrace the world's second most popular team sport. However, in December British Basketball received a huge blow as UK Sport announced it was cutting all funding from the national teams ahead of the Rio Games in 2016.
It was a decision that stunned the wider basketball community. Patrick Baumann, secretary general of world governing body FIBA, has this week confirmed his intention to fly to London to speak personally to UK Sport when British Basketball appeal the decision on January 30.

The Dream Rider by HP Velotechnik
Posted by Frederic Galetto in english, recumbent, tricycles and velomobiles on 11/08/2012
German engineering at its apex. Full suspended trike, goes up and down – watch the video to the end for further details.
What is cool with brands like HP is that you don't need to speak German to:
- understand how smooth the ride should be
- see how beautiful this tricycle looks like
- and eventually wait until 2013 and save the cash to buy it!
More pictures of this beauty here.

Seniors become the scapegoats again
The seniors on Social Security have been put out to pasture by our government. It has been announced that there will be no Cost of Living Adjustments (pay raises) for the next two years. Makes sense with our economy the way it is; however, the seniors who participate in the Medicare program will see an increase in their Part B fees.
Bottom line is less monthly cash for seniors every month.
Why is the government taking stimulus away from the seniors? Don't thay believe that we also contribute to the economy? It's time our government looks at all its citizens and not just the younger generations.

Letter disgusting
What's disgusting is Garth Gregory Hansen's letter in the NorthCounty Times (Aug. 15) .
First off, I have never trusted a person with three names. Attacking the No. 1 cable news channel is not real intelligent. Now, I know why Dr. Savage, Ph.D, wrote his book "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder.#"
... Let me guess, Mr. Hansen's favorite news cable channel isMSNBC? That#'s the one that has a guy with a bad hairdo who gets a"tingling feeling up and down his leg whenever he hears Obamaspeak." I believe his name is Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermannand Rachel Maddow. I believe they are in 36th place now.
Get with the program, Garth, we are not talking about Democrats,Republicans or independents. We are talking Americans ... !
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Check out the cartoon next to Hansen's very distasteful letter, the one that states DMV ---- Department of Medical Vacuity.
I'm guessing I won't see Hansen at the city of Oceanside's TEA Party on Sept. 3. It is my hope there will be a real "MOB" in attendance.

'Professional' letters?
It's fairly obvious that some (most?) of the letters and Opinion columns submitted to recall Councilman Jerry Kern are professionally written over various citizens' names. I think most readers recognize this and consider the source of their ridiculous accusations.
Anyone telling us that spending $500,000 on a special election one year before general elections is a "bargain" must be a professional "smoke and mirrors" writer. Oceanside cannot meet its budget.
How can public employee unions get off completely wasting $500,000 of taxpayer money in any good conscience? If they don't like being snubbed with their flim-flam proposals, a duly elected councilman must be recalled? This is not democracy. This is special interest rules!
When we first voted for Mayor Jim Wood, we really thought he would rise above partisanship and consider what's best for all of Oceanside. He has since kow-towed to select special interests' demands. So disappointing! After Wood's threats to Kern, I've seriously considered I may be subject to union retaliation for writing this letter. I wonder how many others feel the same?
Voters! If we don't keep the Kern, Feller, and Chavez progressives, Oceanside will sink further into a public service workers' dictatorship.

Writer's letter was a misrepresentation
Junious Montgomery's letter (Aug. 23) , as always, consists mainly of name-calling. Will heever get over his hatred of the Clintons?
But what I really take exception to is his characterization ofmy military service as something it wasn't. I've written beforethat I proudly completed my military obligation as a CaliforniaArmy National Guard member.
For two years of my six years in the Guard, I was a full-time soldier assigned to the 4th Missile Battalion serving at a Nike site in Playa del Rey. Ours was the first National Guard battalion to take over operation of Nike sites from the regular Army. Our sites along the coast were ready to down any enemy aircraft approaching. Never was I "an old tough security guard," as Junious wrote.
Anyone can tell Junious is a true Republican by his natural desire to put a false spin on truth. Maybe the word "guard" as used in "National Guard" for him translates to "security guard."
As to his reference to his name "flashing in red lights," the only time I think we'd see that would be on a marquee announcing his leadership of a meeting of "The Poor Thinkers of the World."

Kern recall is a farce
The recall of Councilman Jerry Kern is a farce. It has nothing to do with the way he carries out his duties as a councilman, but has everything to do with those who want their own majority. Perhaps a Wood-Sanchez-Lowery triumvirate is more acceptable to them. They attack Kern and the KFC because it isn't "their" KFC.
A recall is nothing more than pressuring elected officials to adhere to the position expressed by the petitioners. Pure and simple, it's their way or no way. Why have elections if the other side can just waste time and money to promote their agenda by recalling who they feel is not doing what they expect? This whole thing stinks from tin to Tiffany. Do they really believe voters of this city are ignorant souls who simply buy into this attempt to hijack our city government?
I will vote no on the recall!

Too many red lights for gas economy
The bane of achieving the miles-per-gallon levels our autos are designed for is the fact that we have three times the traffic signals we need and 90 percent are improperly programmed. The lack of longer-range sensors and inadequate utilization, coupled with obsolete processors and software used to program the current traffic light maze, defeats the national MPG and smog emission goals and increases road-rage reactions to unnecessary stop-and-go.
Roundabouts, more stop sign installations instead of traffic signals and a more comprehensive application of state-of-the-art long distance sensors with higher-order control algorithms would save our nation billions. Instead of just funding penal traffic camera technology, we must get our traffic flow control to yield at least twice the MPG and half the emissions of our current traffic dilemma.
As a side note, today's autos don't need a 20-minute warmup in the driveway like vehicles of old. These days, optimum air-to-fuel ratios are controlled automatically by in-vehicle processors that sense environmental conditions so as to provide optimum engine performance from the "start."
Bottom line: Let's put the same intelligence in the traffic control criteria outside the vehicle that we have inside.

Focus on what is happening now
In regard to Peggy Sloan (Aug. 28) : It seems to me that Peggy and the company she keepsare more concerned with the treatment of potential mass murderersthan our own young men and women who are being killed inAfghanistan. Peggy writes about the past administration and howhorrible they were.
Peggy, what's done is done, let it go. (She should) put her energy into what is happening now. My heart and sympathy go out to the family of Lance Cpl. Donald J. Hogan, killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan; he was only 20 years old.
To Peggy and the rest of her Bush hating-company, why haven't you asked President Obama why he keeps sending these young people to Afghanistan? I was under the impression Obama would end the war in the Middle East and bring them home.
So Peggy should start thinking about what is happening now and worry about what happened in the past later.
To the family of Lance Cpl. Hogan and other families of lost servicemen and woman, my deepest sympathy. Peggy and company, let's focus on bringing an end to Obama's war.

Foolish to buy Wellness Center
For a hospital board that is continually trying to raise moneybecause the hospital needs to be made earthquake-safe to evenconsider spending $52 million on a glorified gym is unconscionable ("Tri-City considering purchase of Wellness Center complex," Aug. 28) . I will never vote one dime for any hospital bond issue ifthey go ahead with this ridiculous plan.
Gyms are closing all the time and I saw the Wellness Center was advertising free memberships, which seems to indicate the response to the facility is underwhelming.

More bothered by 'smell of freedom'
I am not really at all bothered by the "sound of freedom" coming from Camp Pendleton. As a Fallbrook resident for many years, I have gotten used to it. I still wonder if the occasional new crack in this old house is a result of heavy artillery or simply part of the aging process.
I have also gotten used to the fires that erupt quite regularly during training exercises at the base, and I find myself growing less tolerant every year about this ongoing problem. I really do find the "smell of freedom," aka smoke, repellent.
There are currently three fires burning on Camp Pendleton. My lovely deck is covered with ash and the air quality is not all that good. It has been over 105 degrees for the past few days and we are in for more of the same.
True, Pendleton has been there for many years, but the population of this region has grown significantly in that time. Would it really be too much to ask our honored Marine Corps to move the more incendiary training seasonally to a less-populated area or be more responsible when these dry conditions exist? It would be the neighborly thing to do. I am so tired of fire!
Linda Rufkahr
Not the militia argument again
Once again, the Second Amendment is attacked (Leon Seltzer, Letters, Aug. 28) using the flawed militiaargument. While the clause, "A well regulated militia ...,"identifies a purpose of the operative clause, "... the right ... tokeep and bear arms ...," it neither limits nor expands theoperative right.
Using Mr. Seltzer's interpretation, the only right granted by the amendment is to bear arms in a militia. In other words, no right at all. Apparently, if the prefatory clause had read, "Since target shooting is fun ... ," the operative clause would have carried more weight. Both propositions sound rather silly, don't they?
In addition, the right has nothing to do with an established military, which is addressed in a separate clause of the Constitution. It is also noteworthy that the Constitution acknowledges individual rights separately from powers granted to the state -- a distinction clearly lost on Mr. Seltzer.
Perhaps he might explain why the amendment wound up in the Bill of Rights instead of in the military establishment clause ...
Ask yourself which "bias" matches the Founders' intent. Also, ask yourself why some people are so bothered by the existence of the Second Amendment.

Obama's new tactic: Distraction
Watch for new tactics from the desk of BO Enterprises. After the stomping his hurry-up-and-cram-through campaign for nationalized health insurance got, he ran to excess-ville and licked his wounds and will come back with yet another firestorm of legislation to distract us from the mess he has made already.
I suppose he is hoping that the irate citizens will calm down and assume their pose as wide-eyed optimists expecting miracles from the hope-and-change master.
Don't be surprised if the direction changes. Maybe he will pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep us distracted while the c(r)ap and trade bill sails through so we all can save the world through higher taxes for the mythological carbon (big foot) print we are leaving as we trudge through life in the world of the progressive tax and spenders.
My goodness, what fools we are for trusting a stranger to fix things when we already knew that his cronies were corrupt wastrels. Psst, it is the lobbyists who write the bills, for a big fee, I'll bet. That is why they haven't read them.

Walking in ignorance
Re: Enrique Morones' letter, Aug. 30 : Mr. Morones accuses someNorth County residents of being ignorant and racist because theydisagree with his figures of how much taxes illegal aliens payversus how much they collect through social services. Subsequently,he wants Police Chief Maher let go because his racist tactics ofcheckpoints just might snare of few of these law-abiding illegalaliens who didn't pay for a licence or insurance.
Mr. Morones appeals to the citizens of Escondido to put a stop to the immigration reformers. He wants every American to learn the truth about what's really going on. If I were ignorant, I wouldn't know a reformer from someone who expects the government to enforce the laws on the books. Mr. Morones would have us believe the undocumented immigrants pay their fair share of taxes. If I were ignorant, I wouldn't know the difference between undocumented immigrant and illegal alien.
Calling someone a racist or ignorant does not make an ignorant racist, and poultry is just another way of saying chicken.

About NodeMCU
NodeMCU is a very popular Micro controller with wifi access. It is based on ESP8266 – a cheap but powerful chip and fully support Arduino IDE. If you familiar with Arduino IDE, you can program NodeMCU in no time.
In this project, we will connect a servo to a NodeMCU chip, then use a MQTT client(mobile app, browser, linux terminal program etc) to send rolling degree message to NodeMCU to control the motor moving. If the message value is between 0 to 180 degree, servo will roll as per the degree message, other it will not rexponse and move.
Parts and Devices:
NodeMCU board x 1 pc
Servo x 1 pc
Breadboard x 1 pc
5V power supply x1 pc
jumper wires
Circuit Connection Graph:
In this project, we use external 6V battery box to supply energy to servo. Please connect the ground(negative) pin of the battery box to the GND pin NodeMCU.
Programming Prerequisite:
Before running the project, we need set up the Arduino IDE as per following procedures:
- If you don't have Arduino IDE, please go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software download the IDE.
- Add ESP8266 support in Arduino IDE, read this http://osoyoo.com/2016/10/25/how-to-use-arduino-ide-to-program-esp8266-wifi-module/
- In Arduino IDE->Tools->Board Manager menu, select NodeMCU (0.9 or higher) and corresponding COM port (showed in your device manager)
Library Installation:
In Arduino IDE, we need install MQTT client library to communicate with MQTT broker, please download the library from following link:
Unzip above file, move the unzipped folder to Arduino IDE library folder (you can also import these two zip files to Arduino library from IDE).
Download sample code from following link
http://osoyoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/esp8266mqtt_servo.txt , copy the code into Arduino IDE. Before running the code, please do following changes to fit your wifi and MQTT setting:
1)Line 19 and 20:
const char* ssid = "your_hotspot_ssid";
const char* password = "your_hotspot_password";
You need change these 2 lines to match your wifi SSID and password
2)Line 21
const char* mqtt_server = "broker.mqtt-dashboard.com";
You can use your own MQTT broker URL or IP address to set above mqtt_server value. You can also use some famous free MQTT server to test the project such as "broker.mqtt-dashboard.com", "iot.eclipse.org" etc
If you want to install your own MQTT broker in Ubuntu Linux, please read this article http://osoyoo.com/2016/09/07/how-to-install-mosquitto-mqtt-server-on-linux
3)if your MQTT server require username and password authentication, you need change line 86
Running the code
After you running the code, please open the serial terminal window in upright corner of Arduino IDE.
If wifi hotspot name and password setting is ok and MQTT broker is connected, you will see following result:
After the NodeMCU connected to wifi and MQTT broker, it will subscribe to a MQTT broker with topic "OsoyooCommand" and waiting for motor control message. Let us publish a message from a MQTT client and test if NodeMCU can get this message.
You can select any MQTT client tool to send control message to MQTT broker(in this project, message must be under topic of "OsyooCommand"). simply use google to search MQTT client in internet, or search MQTT in Apple store or Google Play, you can find many free MQTT client software. In my case, I uses MQTTBox for Windows, you can learn MQTTBox configuration in following article: http://osoyoo.com/2016/12/02/nodemcu-potentiometer-mqtt/

Less Time Than Thought, More Dramatic Carbon Cuts Required
No time for dilly-dallying – we need to cut carbon emissions dramatically starting yesterday. Drive less, live close to work or work out of your home, hybrids and compact fluorescent light bulbs rock, but ultimately we need to do many more dramatic changes if the atmosphere is to be sustained. New study below reports need to cut carbon emissions 70% by 2030 [more] to avoid the worst aspects of dangerous climate change.
"Greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced far more quickly than was previously thought, says a climate change research institute. A report by the Tyndall Centre said a UK government target of a 60% cut in emissions by 2050 is insufficient and needs to be 70% by 2030. But it requires a major programme of action within the next four years…"

Whenever writers give talks about their work, the one question they are guaranteed to be asked is "Where do you get your ideas?"
For this collection, we at The Fine Line thought we'd ask writers a slightly different question: what words inspire you.
We gave them a maximum of 100 words with which to explain their choice and ignored their complaints about it not being long enough.
By the time the deadline arrived, we'd received over 100 submissions: idiosyncratic, funny, moving, sad and, yes, inspiring. They're backstories to the writing process and snapshots of the many muses.

Picture: Peaches and Pixie Geldof Elle Style Awards held at the Westway Sports Centre - Arrivals London, England - 12.02.08
Outspoken singer Peaches cites seventies legend Joan Jett as her role model, because she helped give women a place in rock.
The TEACHES OF PEACHES star was first inspired by the I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL singer to test her talents in the music arena, because Jett's band THE RUNAWAYS proved women could excel in a predominately male industry.
Peaches - real name MERRIL NISKER - enthuses, "Joan Jett was the first person to inspire me to pick up a guitar and just go for it.
"The Runaways were the greatest all-girl band ever and Joan Jett is still very cool.

Reviewing a friend's photo-archive is like walking through his closet or checking out his garage. I found it startling at first, and humbling as I proceeded, to realize that much of what I encountered on my unaccompanied tour was never intended for public viewing. All the image trails between the beginning of an idea and its fruition, all the dead ends and blind alleys, all the cognitive detritus of a vivid imagination, laid bare. Wow! And I get to choose? Well, in this case, yes.
But how?
With an apologetic nod towards Bryn, I will tell you this is deliberately not a "best of Bryn's work" show, which is not to say I don't think these are excellent pieces. Rather, I found myself responding to otherwise hidden elements in the portfolio that for me informed much of Bryn's better known work. For example I selected a series of almost primitive though stunning images, in my mind entitled "The last thing I remember . . . ", which are simply of waves, but from underneath (I shouldn't say simple in that they must have been hellish to acquire). Bryn is highly regarded for his elegant and masterful waterscapes, including many beautiful wave images. But in my tour of the archive I discovered the visual evidence that his esthetic sensibility is aware of both nature's grandeur as well as its power, its inherent neutrality, even its potential threat. Somehow, for me, this insight made his ethereal wave images even more resonant.
I also found myself selecting images for strictly personal reasons. Having acknowledged this, it becomes apparent that the show really has three subjects. Of course the first two are the sets of images presented for each photographer. But embedded in that presentation is a relationship, and it is the outflow of that interface, that set of interactions, that is also on display. Another illustration. By training, Bryn is an engineer and I am a physician whose undergrad degree is in biophysics. Yes, we are both geeks (and proudly so). To me, his architectural images are (of all things) similar to his wave images in that they remind me of an oscilloscope. Whether those waves are sinusoidal, or triangular, or square, they are moving, dynamic. I find his urban landscape photographs to be as organic and alive as those of water or of nature in a broader sense. Similarly, I selected several of his photographs from CERN, which on the surface may seem technical and sterile, and yet, when I ponder what they represent and how artfully they are presented, I find them awe-inspiring.
Last, I chose a number of images that to me are like standing downstream of a mind at play. There is no accounting for whimsy, for dreaming, for visual introspection. And there needn't be. Sometimes I think such images might be the most accurate self-portraits possible. Perhaps one of them is included here . . .

THANK YOU. That has always been me, I have consistently said I don't want to be a mother, I don't think I will be a good one and people actually argue. Or they tell me, "well you're young, you might change your mind." No bitch, just no.

Why skip the diet part of the tea you ask? Because it's a MARKETING PLOY. Seriously you guys.

Don't buy a tea that says it will do it for you.

Sept. 11 sculpture contains too many names
BAYONNE, N.J. -- A 100-foot-tall sculpture being unveiled on Monday's fifth anniversary of 9/11 honors thousands of terrorist attack victims, and then some: Carved into the granite base are the names of more than 40 people who weren't killed on Sept. 11 after all.
The majestic sculpture across the Hudson River from ground zero will feature 3,024 names of people once believed to have died in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the twin towers, the Pentagon and on United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.
The problem is that the Russian artist who created the work used an outdated list of names of those missing at the trade center.
"We did the best that could have been done under the circumstances," said Emily Madoff, an attorney for artist Zurab Tsereteli.
Madoff said that she consulted several sources to try to determine the correct names.
Proposal would ease controls on oil industry
WASHINGTON --The Bush administration proposed easing environmental rules Friday to allow oil refineries and other industries to change how they calculate whether they need pollution control equipment.
The oil refinery industry says the eased regulation would open the way for production of more oil and other products. But environmental groups say the proposed rules are gimmicks and loopholes allowing the industry to emit more pollution, evade pollution controls and save money.
"This is a big gift to the refinery industry," said Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch, an environmental watchdog group.
In a news release, the Environmental Protection Agency said the proposed rules will make it easier for owners and operators to determine whether changes to a plant or facility require installing pollution control equipment.
Red Cross faces $4.2 million fine
WASHINGTON -- The government said Friday it was fining the American Red Cross a record $4.2 million for violating blood-safety laws.
The violations include failing to reject donors who had traveled to malarial areas and allowing blood and related products to be distributed without proper testing, said Margaret Glavin, the Food and Drug Administration's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs.
The FDA said it had no evidence of serious health consequences resulting from the violations.
The fine was the largest penalty ever assessed under terms of a 2003 court settlement that allows the large fines when the Red Cross violates FDA rules. Previously, the FDA had fined the Red Cross a total of $5.7 million.
Search engine may track government spending
WASHINGTON -- Taxpayers may soon be able to track how the federal government is spending their money with the click of computer mouse.
Groups across the political spectrum support the idea, and their efforts were rewarded Thursday as the Senate passed a bill to build a Google-like search engine to allow people to track online about $1 trillion in federal grants, contracts, earmarks and loans.
The House is expected to pass the measure next week, and it should soon land on President Bush's desk for his signature.
The idea is to open up the federal budget to greater scrutiny and hopefully prevent wasteful spending. Conservatives vow greater scrutiny of "pork barrel" spending while liberals hope to foster a greater appreciation of the good things that the government does.

Unanswered: Column length Exceeds 72 characters
Hi all,
I am trying to execute a insert query in a JCL using IKJEFT01. One of the columns to be inserted is of picture clause CHAR(80). But when I execute the query only first 72 characters in the file are considered and the query fails.
Is there any way to overcome this situation?
P.S I need to execute this query using insert statement alone. I cannot use anything else.

Query fails with incompatible datatype for the successive fields. When I check the log for query, I see that only first 72 characters are present in query other characters are ignored.
Just wanted to know if there is anyway to input a larger record length input file. I dont think there is any method to do that. For now I have used the solution mentioned by Tonkuma and its working fine.
thanks for all your replies.
