The Silent Mind Discusses Mental Training and the "Bigger" Mind – Part 2
In part 1, The Silent Mind's owner Tim Loomis shared his thoughts on the nature of the mind in this day and age. The mind he spoke of was the thinking mind that is rather limited in its perceptive abilities. This is the mind that constantly worries about everyday life and creates problems to solve. This is the mind that can completely take over one's life if mental training isn't put in place. This month, the Twinsburg, Ohio wellness coach will speak of the Bigger Mind. While spiritual teachers of all cultures speak of this mind, each has their own term for it. In order to avoid confusion, the following discussion will focus on the Big Mind (capital "M") while merely touching on the thinking mind (lowercase "m"). The Silent Mind knows how damaging it can be when one lets the latter take over, which is why this Northeast Ohio health studio informs readers about guided meditation, de-stress techniques and allowing the Mind to emerge.
According to Loomis and other spiritual teachers, the Mind is not bound by the limitations of the small mind. It is not restrained by concept, logic, judgment, suffering, fear or thinking. It has no belief system. It is all knowing and ever present. In this context, the Mind is often associated with Divine Mind. In most humans, the link between Big Mind and small mind is the unconscious mind. The ultimate goal of mental training is to clear a path to enable the Mind to be more "conscious" in the human experience, a process referred to as Awakening and Enlightenment.
Students of The Silent Mind often comment that they believe the Mind, a Mind without thinking, concept or judgment, seems out of their reach. But in reality, the Mind resides within each of us and always has. Everyone has experienced it in their lives, but not everyone realizes it. The Mind is that voice inside of our heads telling us the right thing to do. It is our hearts speaking, a moment of inspiration or an epiphany. It is a parent knowing that something has happened to one of their children. Often, the expression of Mind is conveyed as just knowing something is so—a far cry away from the rational thinking mind we so often use.
The Mind blossoms when the tangles born and perpetuated by the thinking mind begin to unravel and dissolve. The tangles are imprints upon the nervous system caused by stress. Our nervous system has been imprinted with stress over years. This process often starts with birth, our first stressful experience. Stress can be found in a seemingly meaningless event such as music being played too loudly, to the most devastating of events such as physical, mental or emotional abuse. We store each event, no matter how trivial, in our central nervous system. Without helpful de-stress techniques such as guided meditation, we allow these events to rule our minds and bodies, decreasing our wellness and quality of life.
The great teachings of yoga, meditation, T'ai Chi and Qigong enable the student to relieve stress and remove it from the nervous system. While these de-stress techniques are tremendously useful in cleaning up the nervous system, our perception of our life situation continues to put stress on the nervous system.
Tim Loomis' own guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, says that "The human nervous system is so designed that it can exhibit the totality of consciousness. Living in a finite body and expressing the infinite is the possibility of human life."
The Silent Mind's wellness coach, Tim Loomis, states that in order to permanently clear the nervous system and reach Awakened or Enlightened states of consciousness, we must learn to fully and completely let go of all our concepts, beliefs, judgments and fears. As this becomes your experience, the thinking mind quiets down. There are fewer and fewer thoughts until the thinking mind is tamed and put back into its place. The thinking mind then becomes a tool to be used when it's needed and to be put down when it's not.
The training and technique of finally and completely letting go of all concept and judgment is available at The Silent Mind. The spiritual curriculum at this Northeast Ohio holistic health school is designed to put you on the fast track to Awakening and eventually Enlightenment. As you might expect, this work takes commitment and dedication, but your final peace of mind is worth it.
There is a reason why this Northeast Ohio health studio and so many spiritual teachers place such great emphasis on the Mind. With the right mental training, you can reach a state of being that surpasses anything you've ever experienced. If you're searching for a better way of thinking, a better way of living, then The Silent Mind is just the place to go for help. To learn more about their de-stress techniques such as guided meditation, yoga, T'ai Chi and Qigong, visit www.thesilentmind.com.

We took the kids to a local event last night, called the National Balloon Classic, south of Des Moines. I had never been, and always wanted to go. It's a week long celebration of hot air balloons with special events.
We all had a great time, and it was perfect to take the kids to. Avery sat and watched as the balloons filled up, launched, and flew overhead, and Gavin got to run around and make new friends.
The contest last night was for the balloons to fly over a target and drop in a weighted stuffed polar bear to 4 baby pools. 80 balloons flew overhead that night. There were some really interesting shapes and patterns.
We ended up going as kind of a last minute idea, and we could not have asked for better weather, or better behaved kids. We have been having so much fun this summer with them, and the mild weather has allowed us to spend a lot of time outdoors.

ATI & NVIDIA Video Enhancement Quality Tested ReviewTests: Video Conversion »
HQV Benchmark 2.0HQV2.0 is a collection of challenging video clips, each of which presents a difficult video playback scenario and then asks the reviewer to evaluate the success with which the video processor under test copes with, or corrects, a particular sort of video artifact which might appear in the scene.
Developed by IDT to showcase the features of their consumer and commercial HQV video processing hardware (typically integrated into consumer and commercial HDTV displays, Blu-ray Players, A/V Receivers, projectors and video processing boxes), HQV2.0 is also useful in evaluating video playback quality on various other video playback devices, including desktop and notebook computer systems.
With a growing number of notebook and desktop computers becoming capable of Blu-ray and other high definition video playback, a quality analysis tool is a useful thing to have. Unlike 3D performance, where framerate is king, video performance is more about how great the picture looks and how often that picture quality is degraded by visual artifacts or other issues. HQV2.0 provides a useful means to evaluate that aspect of the Blu-ray experience.
The Tests
HQV2.0 includes 39 different tests, organized into four major "Test Classes". Each Test Class is composed of a number of "Chapters", and each Chapter is composed of a number of tests.

the world's largest and most diverse continent. It occupies the eastern four-fifths of the giant Eurasian landmass. Asia is more a geographic term than a homogeneous continent, and the use of the term to describe such a vast area always carries the potential of obscuring the enormous diversity among the regions it encompasses. Asia has both the highest and the lowest points on the surface of Earth, has the longest coastline of any continent, is subject overall to the world's widest climatic extremes, and, consequently, produces the most varied forms of vegetation and animal life on Earth. In addition, the peoples of Asia have established the broadest variety of human adaptation found on any of the continents. The name Asia is ancient, and its origin has been variously explained.

This week in studio executives acting like petulant children, Warner Bros. has attempted to block The Weinstein Company's use of the title "The Butler" for their new prestige movie starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey – all because they own the rights to a 1916 black-and-white short film also called "The Butler" that has only been seen by people who are dead now. And guess what? The MPAA actually ruled in Warner Bros. favor. Cue Harvey Weinstein head explosion.
So what's a bloated, power-hungry studio head to do? Well, appeal of course, because that is a ridiculous verdict, but in the event that the MPAA reaffirms their decision, we've got a few alternative titles to suggest. Check them out below, then vote for your favorite in the poll further down and we'll awkwardly Photoshop the most popular choice onto the film's official poster.
20 alternate titles for Lee Daniels' "The Butler":
1. Mrs. Winfrey Goes to Washington
2. The House Boy
3. Bringing Tea to Sociopaths
4. Who Cares What It's Called, Forest Whitaker's In It
5. Famous People in Period Clothing
6. This Movie Will Uplift You
7. The Buttler (but then it would have to be a Kevin James movie)
8. The Batler (But then it would have to be a Christian Bale film)
9. The Butler: A Feature Film
10. The Guy in the Corner in the Bow Tie
11. Polishing Abe Lincoln
12. Meet the Help
13. Better Than OWN
14. Eat Pray Serve
15. The Other Butler
16. The Subtler Butler
17. The Domestic Worker in a Large Household
18. Everyone's favorite help

Despite the sincere effort being made, health care reform in Utah and nationwide is destined to run in circles unless everyone gets serious about medical costs and affordability. Yet, reformers are stuck in a rut of parsing out what's unaffordable: medical care will equal the average Utah household's income in less than 10 years and Medicaid coverage for poor Utahns is on a track to equal the entire state budget in about 15 years. That's why a new plan from Utah insurers aims to make between-jobs insurance more palatable by offering coverage that's less comprehensive but cheaper, says Deseret News.
The plan will modify the currently expensive COBRA program, which allows workers to keep their employer sponsored insurance for while after leaving a job. The key to making the system transparent is revealing the cost of care, which continues to rise at double-digit inflation and with no end in sight, says Deseret:
- Deductibles would be high -- between $2,000 and $4,000 -- and the plans don't offer everything required by state rules for standard plans.
- But premiums could cost less than half as much as the premiums in typical group plans.
- The plan echoes the direction many employer-sponsored plans are moving -- higher deductibles, lower premiums.
- States, too, are trying to figure out ways to offer low-income citizens lower premiums, sometimes by offering limited coverage.
Moreover, the proposal is part of a broader effort to figure out ways to reform the health insurance market in Utah. Supporters hope it will help to radically restructure incentives in health care, such as rewarding wellness and health improvement, not the number of medical procedures rendered.
But state leaders suggested it was only a stopgap measure. Without a reduction in overall costs, it's not sustainable to offer affordable products on the market, says Deseret.

It's not secret to anyone who knows me that I am a Slytherin. Every test I have ever taken, in regards to sorting me into a Hogwarts house, has come back with an overwhelming response that I am indeed a Slytherin.
So you can imagine my disappointment when J.K. Rowling portrayed the noble house of Slytherin as a bunch of mean spirited, opportunistic, evil group of individuals. Now I know the story of Harry Potter is told through the perspective of Harry Potter, and his limited interactions with members of the Slytherin house was not very favorable. But can we take a moment and remember that Remus, Sirius, James, and Lupin, all Gryffindors, treated Severus in ways very similar to how Malfoy treats Harry. So being sorted into Slytherin does not mean you are an automatic asshole.
I remember reading the final book, during the battle of Hogwarts, and hoping that at some point the students of house Slytherin would break out of the dungeon, and come to their schools aid. That Rowling would show the world that Slytherins took pride not only in themselves, and their house, but also their school, and the students studying with them.
Sadly it never happened.
But I have always had a certain headcanon within my own brain that the houses of Hogwarts were not nearly as divided as Rowling suggests they are. While each house certainly has qualities that make each house unique, these qualities, when combined, can form a wonderful alliance.
Imagine if you will a group of Slytherin students sitting in protest outside the Slytherin House common room. The password for the door is derogatory, or somehow bigoted and so, in defiance, the students refuse to say it.
Days go by, and the numbers of students sleeping and camping outside the Slytherin common room grows, that is until the Hufflepuffs find out, and invite the Slytherin students to a sleepover in their common room. The Slytherins, tired of sleeping on the cold stone floor, graciously accept, and the next few days are spent in friendship and comradery.
That is until the Ravenclaws find out. The students of house Ravenclaw are so touched by the willpower of the Slytherins that they go to work on the Slytherin common room door. They study, and use every spell they know to magically change the password to something less offensive and vulgar. It becomes an all out offensive as Ravenclaw after Ravenclaw try their knowledge and experience out, in an effort to help the Slytherin brothers and sisters.
Weeks have passed by this point, and the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins are living in perfect harmony, and even the Ravenclaws are starting to mingle in and out of the Hufflepuff common room. There is tea for everyone, intriguing stories, and fierce competitions and magical duels all ending in laughter and a closer bond of friendship.
Well, you can imagine it doesn't take long for the Gryffindors to find out what's going on, and they want in on the action as well. The Ravenclaws are at a loss at this point, having tried every magical spell they could find, study, or research. So the Gryffindors devise a plan to forcibly remove the door. I can just imagine the Gryffindor Head Boy telling everyone "Stand back everyone! The plan is to either jinx the door, or failing that, we are just going to blow it up!"
The Hufflepuffs of course provided the Gryffindors with the explosives, which caused some confusion, but also was not questioned. However it did coin the phrase "Never mess with a Puffball, for they are cute, and will blow you up!"
While the Gryffindors set the explosives, the Hufflepuffs are providing everyone with tea and cookies. The Slytherins and Ravenclaws are observing, from a distance, as they work together to write a very strongly worded letter to the Headmaster about this situation.
Finally, around 2AM, the Gryffindors bring the Slytherin house common room door down with a bang.
This starts a new tradition at Hogwarts, from then on. Each month the houses gather together to solve a mutual problem. Sleepovers become a regular thing, not just between Hufflepuff and Slytherin, but all the houses, and most importantly everyone gets along, sees the qualities and values of each house, and friendships amongst the different houses grows to a all time high.

Time to 'come together': PM calls for united Union as he promises sweeping changes
DAVID CAMERON has called on the UK to "come together" and "move forward" after Scotland dramatically rejected independence after an historic referendum.
There was a record turnout north of the border as over more than three million people headed to the ballot box.
Despite years of ferocious campaigning, First Minister Alex Salmond was unable to lead his beloved nation to independence.
The leader of the SNP accepted the No victory in Edinburgh.
He said: "It is important to say that our referendum was an agreed and consented process and Scotland has by a majority decided not at this stage to become an independent country."
The Prime Minister spoke to Mr Salmond shortly before he addressed the nation outside No 10.
"The people of Scotland have spoken and it is a clear result," he said.
"They have kept our country of four nations together and like millions of other people I am delighted.
"As I said during the campaign it would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end.
"And I know that sentiment was shared by people not just across our country but around the world because of what we have achieved together in the past and what we can do together in the future.
"It would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end"Ed Miliband
"So now it is time for our United Kingdom to come together and to move forward.
"A vital part of that will be a balanced settlement, fair to people in Scotland and importantly to everyone in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as well."
The Prime Minister has promised to work with deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband to deliver the new powers he promised to Scotland in the final days of the campaign.
And Mr Cameron has vowed to start work on a "full and fair settlement for all of the UK".
William Hague, the Leader of the House of Commons, will be charged with drawing up plans for more powers for English MPs and said the process of drawing up new powers could begin without Parliament sitting.
Once the victory for the Better Together campaign was secured the pound strengthened and the FTSE 100 opened 50 points higher.
Voters stuck with the Better Together team in key areas such as the Western Isles and Clackmannanshire.
While the Yes campaign did win both Dundee and Glasgow it was not enough to bridge the gap with their bitter rivals.
The Queen is expected to make a statement this afternoon.

Do I have iron deficiency anemia or a different one?
Comments / Follow Ups
I had an Antinuclear Antibodies Direct test done at the same time and it was Negative. I don't know if that's the same one you mentioned or not.
I tried taking B12 for my hair and nails for some time, but saw no results.
What additional tests do I need for a thyroid profile? The one I rec'd included my TSH,
Thyroxine (T4), T3 Uptake, & Free Thyroxine.
I found tests for Celiac, but they are too expensive and it says you have to eat at least 4 pieces of bread a day for weeks/months. I have learned to avoid bread products because they seem to stay in my stomach area for days and shortly after I eat it, I get these insanely itchy little blisters on my hands. It would be a nightmare for me.
Since around 2009, when I eat a sandwich or some pizza I get the little itchy blisters on my fingers, shortly after. It happened on the sides of my face and my ankles too. I thought it was poison ivy, but it keeps happening and mostly in the same areas. Nothing helps or makes it go away - I have to let it runs it's course. Also, I stopped drinking milk many years ago because it caused me so many problems. I recently tried rice milk and it gave me horrible stomach pain and gas. It said it was GMO free and lactose free so I thought it would be okay.

A/N: Takes place in the first season, right after "Before I Sleep." Written for the Secret Superpower Challenge on LJ.
The bulkhead doors closed behind him with a resounding clang, trapping him in the control room for the rest of his short life. Rodney McKay stood on the balcony, watching the rapidly rising water with a mixture of fascination and dread. Next to him, Peter Grodin was doing the same thing. They'd tried their best, but it hadn't been enough. Hopefully Elizabeth at least had managed to get away, along with Major Sheppard and the fuzzy-headed guy whose name he could never remember.
How would it feel to drown? Would it be quick and painless, or was it going to be a nasty way to go? Beckett would no doubt be able to tell him, both from a medical standpoint and personal experience. The doctor had been scouting out the lower levels in search of an infirmary, and those had been the first to flood. Rodney didn't believe in an afterlife, but if there was one, he'd have to find the Scot and compare experiences. They'd already become friends during their short time in Antarctica.
The water had reached the level of his shoes, and Rodney could no longer see the Stargate. Grodin had shut his eyes, and his lips were moving in what looked like prayer. For the first time, Rodney wished he could at least pretend to believe in a deity. It would give him something to do other than just waiting to die and wondering if anyone on Earth would ever find out what had happened.
The water was now up to his chin. Desperately he tilted his head back to keep his nose out of the water for as long as possible. But the water continued to rise...
Rodney opened his eyes with a gasp, then groaned. This was the third night in a row he'd had the same nightmare. Ever since Elizabeth's double had told them her story, he couldn't stop thinking about how he'd died in the alternate reality. He knew he should probably talk to Kate, but thought of having to put this dream into words make him break out into a sweat.
Well, as long as he was awake, he might as well go check on things in the lab. Rodney reached out to grab his earpiece radio from the table next to his bed, but his hand closed on empty air. He fumbled around in the dark for a minute, then gave up and issued a mental command to turn the lights on.
"Okay, what the hell?" Rodney muttered as his eyes adjusted. He wasn't in his quarters at all. Instead, he found himself already in the lab, hunched over his computer. "I thought I left here." He eyed the cup of cold coffee on his workbench, then decided against it and left to go to his quarters for real. As much as he hated to admit it, he probably needed sleep more than a jolt of caffeine.
Morning found Rodney in the mess hall, feeling like someone had run him over with a truck. Despite forgoing the coffee, he hadn't been able to fall asleep again. Three nights without sleep were starting to take a toll, and he hoped he made it through the day without having to deal with paperwork, annoying underlings, or certain death.
"Hey, Rodney!" John Sheppard sat down next to him, displaying an inordinate amount of cheerfulness. "Are you okay? You look like crap."
"And good morning to you, too, Major," Rodney said irritably. Thankfully, snark was something he could do on autopilot. "At least my hair only looks like this when I haven't slept. What's your excuse?"
John snorted. "Ouch. I'm wounded." He started eating his breakfast, then stopped to give his friend a shrewd look. "Why haven't you been sleeping?"
Rodney was saved from having to answer by Lieutenant Ford's arrival. Aiden wanted to ask John about something in the armory, and the physicist took the opportunity to quietly leave the table. He didn't see John's worried look follow him out of the mess hall.
The bulkhead doors closed behind him again and the sea rushed in to fill the control room. Rodney had never realized how much he hated the water. He'd only learned to swim reluctantly, and he always avoided anything having to do with lakes or rivers or beaches. It was just his luck that the Lost City of the Ancients was located several hundred feet below the surface of an alien ocean. If he wasn't facing imminent doom Rodney would have started ranting in disgust.
Actually, now that he thought of it, he might as well start ranting anyway. Grodin seemed a decent enough guy; surely he wouldn't mind being yelled at in the last few minutes of his life. Rodney opened his mouth to complain about the pointlessness of his demise but was interrupted when one of the stained glass wall panels broke under the pressure of the water. He didn't have time to say anything before the roiling surf slammed him into oblivion.
This time Rodney woke up on his favorite balcony overlooking the East pier. His head was pounding and the cool night breeze made him shiver. Once again he wondered how he had gotten to his current location. Was his memory failing? Or worse, was he sleepwalking? If he was and if anyone found out, he could kiss his position on Sheppard's team goodbye.
By now Rodney was beyond tired and well on his way to completely exhausted. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before. Sure, he'd pulled many an all-nighter in grad school and in Siberia, but he'd always been able to sleep without dreaming when he wanted to. His situation now was unacceptable. Radek had caught him starting to doze a few times, and Kavanaugh and his minions were no doubt planning a coup.
Oh, great. Now he was getting paranoid, too.
A glow on the horizon told him that sunrise was not far off. Rodney reluctantly got to his feet and began to walk down the corridors to his quarters. He concentrated on avoiding looking out the windows so as not to see the water surrounding the city.
Someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. "Rodney?"
The physicist jumped. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" he snarled.
"McKay, what the hell is going on?" Sheppard, on his early morning run. "I called your name three times and you just kept staring at the floor!"
"I didn't hear you," Rodney mumbled.
"No kidding. Seriously, are you all right? I'm getting worried about you. You didn't sleep again, right?"
"Yeah," the physicist admitted.
John sighed. "I'm no shrink, but..."
"No!" Rodney snapped. Then, forcing himself to calm down, he continued, "I know what you're going to say, and I don't want to talk to Dr. Heightmeyer about this. It's just some dreams, that's all."
The look John gave his friend was sympathetic but firm. "All right, but this can't go on much longer. One more sleepless night and I'm dragging your ass down to the infirmary. You can talk to Carson if you don't want to talk to Kate."
"Fine," Rodney said irritably. "Dreams, voodoo, should be right up his alley."
John shook his head and gave a slight smirk. "One of these days he's going to kick your ass for saying stuff like that." As Rodney started to walk off, John stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "Hope you feel better soon."
The disaster hit late in the afternoon. A work crew was repairing residual storm damage close to the water level in the southern part of the city and Rodney had gone with them. ("To make sure they don't re-sink the city," as he explained later.) No one was really sure how it happened, but a small area of structural instability suddenly gave way and seawater rushed into an abandoned lab. Rodney got the other scientists to safety but was trapped himself when part of the ceiling caved in and prevented him from getting out before the city sealed off the area.
At the time, John was running some of the marines through a weapons drill. He only realized something was wrong when he heard Elizabeth calling for a medical team. He ran as fast as he could to the site of the accident and met Carson and Radek there. Both men looked grim.
"What happened?" John demanded.
"Rodney is trapped inside flooding compartment," Radek replied. "He is also not answering his radio."
Just like before, he was locked in a room that was rapidly filling with water. The room was much smaller this time, though, and his claustrophobia was beginning to kick in. He had been pinned by a piece of falling debris and his radio had been smashed. And if that weren't enough, he was bleeding profusely from a gash on his scalp.
It was ironic, really. The elder Weir's sacrifice saved him from drowning when they first gated into Atlantis. Now it seemed like fate or the universe wasn't going to be cheated of its prize. Here he was again, facing death by drowning, and unfortunately it wasn't a dream this time.
The water was extremely cold. He had been shivering heavily at first, but now he had stopped and was getting drowsy. The part of his brain that was still functioning screamed that this was a Bad Thing, that hypothermia was obviously setting in. He wished he had paid more attention during Carson's first aid lectures because he had no idea if there was anything he could do to stave off the process. So he just sat there as the water reached the level of his chin and crept higher.
Rodney closed his eyes and fervently wished he was elsewhere.
John looked at two of the engineers who had pried open a wall panel and were rearranging the control crystals. "Has anyone with the gene tried to get in there?"
"Carson tried, of course," said Radek. "The city would not listen to him."
"Bloody-minded Ancient technology," Carson muttered.
"Your gene is stronger," Radek said to John, with an apologetic look at the physician. "Perhaps it will..."
A sudden blast of air was the only warning they got. The next instant, Rodney materialized directly in front of the three men. His lips were blue-tinged, and for a long minute he didn't seem to breathe. Then he started coughing violently.
"Holy Mother of God," Carson whispered, staring at his friend in disbelief. Then he shook himself and started barking orders at the medical team. The medics swarmed over Rodney, applying monitor leads and starting intravenous lines. One of them turned Rodney on his side as he coughed up seawater; the physicist's breathing improved rapidly after that. They loaded him onto a gurney and whisked him away to the infirmary before John could finish rebooting his brain.
It was several hours before Carson let anyone in to see Rodney. John spent all of them in the waiting area next to the infirmary. The rest of the team had wanted to stay, too, but the medical staff had shooed them out. John promised to let everyone know the minute he learned anything new.
After the second hour, Radek joined John in his vigil. "We have seen some strange things since we arrived in Atlantis," said Radek. "This certainly tops the list."
The corners of John's mouth twitched. "Stranger than life-sucking alien vampires with bad teeth, bad hair, and a lousy fashion sense?"
Radek laughed. "You do have a point."
A nurse finally came to tell them that they could go in. They found Carson standing next to Rodney's bed. "He's lucky to be alive," the physician said without preamble. "A few more minutes and we might not have been able to revive him."
John had to admit that Rodney looked pretty bad. He was covered from head to toe with heating blankets, and an IV line carrying warm fluids snaked underneath a blanket in the vicinity of his arm. His breathing had a congested sound to it. John supposed that he would be in a good deal of pain if he wasn't unconscious. "You give him something to keep him out, Doc?"
"No, actually. I think this is sheer exhaustion."
"He hasn't been sleeping well for the last few days." John observed. "Something about nightmares, and he was seen returning to his quarters from unusual places. But he said that he really didn't want to talk to anyone about it."
Carson sighed. "Of course not. I've never seen anyone who can complain as much about small things yet be totally silent about problems that really matter."
They stood there, just looking at Rodney sleep. Finally John asked the question that was on all of their minds. "How did he manage to teleport out of a sealed room?"
"Jaunt," said Radek.
"Jaunt," Radek repeated. "It's from a book I read a long time ago. A science fiction classic. The main character could teleport, initially only when his life was threatened, then later he could do it at will. They called it 'jaunting'."
"Rodney's life was most definitely threatened," Carson said.
"Yes. Ironically enough, when it was first discovered that the character could jaunt, scientists tested him by putting him in an unbreakable glass tank, permanently sealing it, and filling it with water. Fear of drowning did the rest."
Carson shuddered. "Well, I don't think we'll be doing that to Rodney. His nightmares probably caused him to, um, jaunt subconsciously. Though I do wonder if he'll be able to do it again. I guess we'll have to wait until he's in another life-threatening situation to find out."
"Around here, that probably won't take very long," John said grimly.
"Aye," the physician agreed.
A/N: The book to which Radek is referring is, of course, The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. It really is a classic, and I highly recommend it.

1% For The Planet – Give Back To Blue
Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust
World Music Network joined the 1% for the planet initiative last year, and has continued to donate to various non-profit organisations that seek to protect the world's natural environment. We are one of over 1,200 companies who have pledged to donate 1% of our annual turnover in order to offset the more negative externalities of operations on the environment. Bug Life is one of the most recent non-profit organisations that have received our support.
"Many (though not all) bugs are small and difficult to spot. One of the problems facing conservationists is a lack of knowledge about exactly where certain kinds of bugs are and how they are doing. After all, there are 40,000 species of bug and only a few hundred experts who study them. But what we do know is worrying. Many species are declining in number, and a number of species are definitely, or feared to be, extinct."
- Buglife
Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates. There are more than 40,000 invertebrate species in the UK, and many of these are under threat as never before. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet – humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and without them the world's ecosystems would collapse. Today, thousands of invertebrate species are declining and many are heading towards extinction. Buglife's aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates.
They are working hard to achieve this through:
- Promoting the environmental importance of invertebrates and raising awareness about the challenges to their survival.
- Assisting in the development of legislation and policy that will ensure the conservation of invertebrates.
- Developing and disseminating knowledge about how to conserve invertebrates.
- Encouraging and supporting invertebrate conservation initiatives by other organisations in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
- Undertaking practical conservation projects that will contribute to achieving their aim.

When Bellewood Fellowship hires Tim Garrett as the new youth pastor, he's still powerless over the uncontrollable anger he learned from his father. If he can't escape the outbursts that hold him captive, he'll lose his job. To further complicate his life, an unlikely church member devises a sinister scheme for his dismissal.
Tim has one last chance at Camp Solid Rock. When he discovers a startling secret from a youthful adversary, can he save the boy's life?
Roxanne Ratner's father abandoned her as a young girl, and now she doesn't trust men. They'll only hurt her. Shopping for designer clothes is a poor substitute for the love she craves. The new Christian fights old habits of holding on to a guy. After she tempts Tim to sin, she must seek his forgiveness.
Can God cool Tim's angry heart and teach Roxanne true beauty lies within?
His heart thudded as his breath came in short spurts. The guy gave Roxanne a hard time -- just like his father had done to his mother.
Once again, a red haze formed in front of him. "Aargh." He pounced on the man and landed a blow on his face. The guy fell backwards to the tile as his glasses skidded across the floor. The drunk struggled to his feet and reached for his spectacles. He leaned toward Tim as if he intended to shove him but stumbled and dropped his arms.
"I'm warning you now, if you ever come anywhere close to this woman, you'll answer to me." Tim snarled at him, his muscles tense.
"Who ya think you are? Da owner dis place?" The guy put his glasses on and lifted one side of his mouth up in a smirk.
"No. I'm Tim Garrett. Roxanne is a good friend of mine. So get out of here." There. The man would know who he was dealing with.
The scrawny drunk scowled at him, brushed past him with his shoulder, and staggered out the door.
"Maybe I should've called the cops." Roxanne clutched her throat. "But something told me you'd still be at church."
"Tell me what happened." His heavy breath slowed a tad.
She rubbed her forehead. "I thought he'd be okay since I cut his hair before." She walked toward her station and collapsed in her chair. "He came in looking for Janie to give him a haircut. When I told him she already left, he started flirting with me. I knew he was drunk." She glanced toward the mirror, brushed a strand of hair back from her face, and lifted her focus to him again.
"Is that when you called me?"
"No, I resisted him for a while but realized he was too strong. I kicked his leg, and he backed off a moment. I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Then I called you." She placed her arms around her shoulders as she shook.
The sight of Roxanne trying to comfort herself tore at his heart. He held out his hand to her. She took it and stepped up from the chair. He closed his eyes as he brought her into his embrace. She was so thin, he could almost wrap him arms around her twice. A fire burned in his soul. His desire to protect her overwhelmed him again. But if he didn't turn from her now, he could repeat his past mistakes.
Sorrow gushed over him as he pulled away and gazed into her sweet face. With all the self-control he could muster, he refrained from doing what he wanted -- to kiss her.
The whoosh of the door opening caught Tim's attention. The guy poked his nose back in. "Jush want ya to know, Tim Garrett. Ya gunna hear from me 'agin." Harry made an offensive gesture and turned toward his car, the rain beating down on his head.

Tim Garrett is youth pastor at Bellewood Fellowship Church. His ultimate personal goal is to become a pastoral counselor. He has a strong faith and close personal relationship with God, but he has issues with anger management that interfere with his personal and professional life. A few teens in Tim's high school youth group will go to any lengths to test his patience. Although Tim leans heavily on God and prays for God's direction in overcoming his irrepressible anger, events evoking his quick temper are affecting his reputation and his position as youth pastor.
Roxanne Ratner is a beautiful young hairdresser whose flawless appearance is a compulsion. Her urgency to appear impeccable stems from painful events in her past. These tendencies have become her shield, her way to circumvent similar situations that have caused her serious doubts regarding her image and identity. Her misconception has cost her significantly but as a new Christian she has an open heart and a strong faith in God. She volunteers to help with some of the youth activities at Bellewood Fellowship Church, and as she and Tim work together an undeniable attraction forms.
June Foster is a new author for me, and I had no idea what to expect from her book, "Bellewood Book Two: As We Forgive." What a pleasant surprise to discover that this author has created Christian Reality Fiction containing both romance and personal conflict! Her characters are realistic and believable with human frailties, failings, and displaying the need for God's grace and forgiveness in their lives. Realistic hopes and dreams of personal fulfillment are an important aspect in this story. Overcoming obstacles, temptation and personal struggles are important aspects that are dealt with realistically. Ms. Foster has successfully woven the stories of two young adults struggling with significant painful issues as they look to God for direction and forgiveness. The blending of realitistic events and faith and love of God bring these characters through some consequential misunderstandings. I have not read Book One in this series, but after reading "As We Forgive," I will definitely be reading it as well as Book Three. I found the book to be very successful as a stand alone, however. I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy Christian fiction.

Wow, if there was ever a person who needed to catch a break it is Tim Garrett. Recognizing and trying to work through the anger issues he has, it was probably not the best idea for him to be working with teenagers. However one teen seems intent on causing him as much trouble as possible. Johnny is out to make his life miserable, and he is succeeding.
Enter Roxane Ratner, a young pretty woman in her mid twenties, she has caught the eye of Pastor Tim, but he is very cautious knowing his past issues, and having had a relationship that ended very badly. Roxy, is a new Christian, and she has her own issues, dealing with abandonment by her father during her childhood. Shopping and charging too many things on her charge accounts is her way of compensating, believing if she looks good, if her makeup is perfect and her hair and clothes up to date and stylish, she will be accepted.
The attraction between the two is very intense, perhaps too intense at times. It is very interesting to see how they handle their attraction, in a Godly manner, but it is also heartbreaking sometimes, you just want to shake them both. LOL.
This book is true to June's writing style, she doesn't mince around issues. She faces them head on, bringing to light that Christian's are not perfect people fitting into the mold that others would try to place them in. They are humans who each face struggles that everyone else face. They have anger issues, they overspend, they feel abandoned. All issues that many people in the world face everyday. June writes a story showing the downfalls that often take place, however what I love is they keep getting up and trying to do the right thing!! A great story, and familiar friends are in this story too. 197pages $5.99 ebook 5 stars

Well, June, you did it again--you've written another great book about two people with real life problems who find in the Lord the way to redemption and in each other that what they saw as unloveable is loved.
Youth pastor Tim Garrett has a problem with a quick temper, as does his father. Tim prays repeatedly for God to remove this thorn, especially when the teens in his church seem out to deliberately provoke him. And then this lovely teenager runs into him. He puts her in her place and then finds out she isn't a teenager, she's the volunteer who will help him with a fund raiser.
Roxanne Ratner is shy of perfect, too; when things get to her, she goes on buying sprees. Her credit card is maxed out. She's a new Christian, and this youth pastor is certainly cute, but in their first meeting, he loses his temper. How can you trust a guy like that?
One of the youth, Johnny Thompson, seems particularly determined to get Pastor Tim fired; worse, he might succeed.
Roxanne's boss sells the hair salon where she works, telling her she is no longer needed and she must move out of the apartment above the salon by the end of that day.
Oh, goodness, how can they get out of their personal hangups, salvage their faith, and step into each others' lives?

Microsoft and Rochester Institute of Technology have teamed up to bring the We <3 Games to upstate New York on the weekend of February 11 to 13.
Students will be challenged to form teams and create a game concept and storyboard for minor prizes then put to the test to build a prototype of their game over the course of a non-stop 48 hour period. Prizes up for grabs include an Xbox 360 + Kinect, a standalone Kinect and a Windows Phone 7 cellphone as well as games.
The weekend won't all be hard work – we'll also have Kinects and games set up for some down time and fun evening challenges (think you can sing? Let's test that theory! Or how about dancing? We'll have that covered too).
Here's how it's going to go down:
On Friday evening, we'll introduce the weekend and talk about the games industry and cool stuff like free software and Imagine Cup, and reveal the theme for the games that will need to be developed over the weekend. Then we'll have a game concept challenge – all you need is come up with the best, most innovative, creative or intriguing game concept with a storyboard layout to show it off and we'll give you some cool stuff. We'll finish off the start of the weekend with some gaming – that's what we're all about after all.
Saturday morning you'll really get started – there are mostly no formal presentations or sessions – it's a free form, game creation festival to see just what you can come up with. Sunday early afternoon we bring everyone together and award the top games.
Sounds simple, and it pretty much is – go to the registration page and get your intent to attend and compete in before the spaces fill up.

Oh, and just to be clear – you don't have to be a student at RIT to compete – you just need to be a student who wants to showcase their talent.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons also known as simply "The Four Seasons" is a rock and pop band from America. Frankie Valli, its front man, was born in 1934 and has entertained the crowd for more than four decades. Frankie Valli is well known throughout the world for his falsetto voice and sort of reminiscence of doo-wop music. The band was formed in 1956 under the name "The Four Lovers" but was changed into "The Four Seasons" in 1960 when Bob Gaudio joined Frankie Valli. Initially, even the change of name didn't bring much success to the band, as Gaudio and Valli were turned down by recording studios.

I just got an interesting email from a potential customer who wants an item from Poozleanimus and was looking for a quantity price break.
OK, we don't do price breaks really in affiliate marketing, but she was looking for 10,000 to 100,000 units at around $1 each. Naturally, that's a fair chunk of commission [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Time being of the essence, I emailed the merchant affiliate program and explained that I had potentially a substatial order for an item and would like to close the sale and make some commission (but I didn't pass the details on). I then emailed the customer back straight away.
Has anyone else had experience of this kind of deal? Can anyone give me some guidance on how to do this? Purlease?

No experience Dynamoo,
But I'll be sure happy for you to make some big bucks on this deal !
You could ask the merchant to create a special page for closing the offer on the client with commissions tracked at CJ, but this is just sleepy me, so better ideas may come ; )
April 29th, 2002, 08:02 PM #3
I wish you the best of luck with it, but the ones I've been party to have always fallen over....well, that's what I've been told.
Just a thought Dynamoo - Why don't you see if the product is available for dropshipping then you can fulfill the order yourself?

once again, I'll push The Thomas Register - thousands of manufactusers, who also import items that are to be sold to resellers....check that site, you might find a manufacturer for the item, and increase your profit margin. Many will 'drop ship with no markings' to protect your sale...just a thought.

Before building a single page a friend showed me his 'Thomas Register' WOW...
That thing was at least 24 volumes BIG. Every single manufacturer of every single proguct... Immense amounts of DATA!
Good call EC!

Thanks elbowcreek - I'd never even heard of them before!
April 30th, 2002, 02:40 PM #7
Dynamoo, I'm just wondering what country they are from? I get quite a few of those emails and all have turned out to be bogus. Hopefully that isn't the case for you.

After 30 years of putting together these types of deals within the computer industry ..beforewarned..commissioned sales people can never be trusted to honor the deal. I've never had any luck on acting as a middleman for these types of deals if this is envisioned as a continuing revenue share plan. No salesman will cut you a check out of his own pocket if he can get around it. All distributors who setup shop within my Mall and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars in goods ...never honored the agreements when it came to pay up or shut time.

Just doesn't pass the smell test.
Where are they from? I get E-Mails from Africa promising great potential wealth... sounds like the same come-on.
Please ask yourself, "If they want to buy hundreds of thousands, why are they asking YOU?"
If there is a good reason, by all means proceed.
If not, be careful!

SPRINGFIELD - The Effingham County Board of Education will begin interviewing top prospects for school superintendent starting this week.
The list of applicants has been narrowed to less than a dozen from an initial list of 26 and will meet with board members Tuesday and June 9 in closed-door sessions at a motel in Port Wentworth.
The names of three finalists are then expected to be made public within a couple of weeks. A new superintendent could be named by early July.
"We are hoping to hire someone roughly by July 1 so the new superintendent can be here for five or six months before Dr. Moore leaves," said Board Member Lamar Allen of Clyo, referring to retiring superintendent Michael Moore.
"If we do hire someone from outside the system, that will give them time to give notice at their present job and make the move here," Allen said.
Board members declined to talk specifically about the candidates, other than to say those being interviewed include qualified educators from Effingham, the region and across the state. Board members would not say how many applicants are being interviewed but state law requires the names of three finalists be announced two weeks before a superintendent is hired.
The board met during a closed executive session last week with consultant Bill Sampson of the Georgia School Board Association to discuss the search for a replacement for long-time superintendent Moore.
Sampson presented the list of more than two dozen applicants, as well as his selection of the most-qualified based on a list of preferences Effingham board members established several weeks ago. Several applicants are currently employed in Effingham, including multiple prospects who will be interviewed, Board Member Troy Alford said.
Some applicants were from outside Georgia but only in-state candidates are being called in for interviews.
Holiday Inn Express in Port Wentworth was selected as the interview site for a couple of reasons, board members said. The site at the Interstate 95 interchange on Ga. 21 is about two miles from the Chatham-Effingham county line, making it convenient to applicants from the area and beyond.
That site is also less conspicuous than the central board office in downtown Springfield.
"We felt it would be a neutral site," said Board Member James Dasher of Rincon. "We wanted to make it less intimidating for applicants and we wanted to give them some privacy, too."
Board members are expected to meet within days of the final interview sessions to determine if they are satisfied with those candidates.
Should all those interviewed be rejected, board members may expand the search outside Georgia. But Alford is confident an expanded search won't be needed.
"I think county residents can be assured we've got some very highly qualified candidates, including several local applicants," said Alford. "I am sure we will get the right person."

In February 2015 SAP rolled out S/4 HANA, the next generation business suite. Businesses everywhere are making decisions on how and when to implement this new platform and its various product offerings.
The key changes in S/4 HANA versus the previous version ECC 6 involves simplifications and considerably increased efficiencies. SAP was able to spot redundancies within its old platform and streamline them via S/4 HANA.
"SAP S/4HANA signals a move away from the transactional system that merely records data toward giving end users active decision support in real time that is based on data from both internal and external sources," explains SAP.
What are the business considerations when implementing S/4 HANA?
There are three main factors that play into consideration when businesses decide whether or not to migrate to S/4: Cost, usability and implementation model.
For starters, the platform is a considerable financial investment. The cost of purchase and implementation can be a hefty undertaking for any organisation.
From a user and training perspective, businesses with ECC 6 need to decide if they are going to be implementing S/4 HANA across the entirety of their system or in increments. There is a fair amount of scoping and planning involved here, especially considering the fact that ECC 6 has been taken out of life - with all resources being taken offline by 2025. Businesses need to decide how they are going to approach this change.
Perhaps the most important consideration for businesses looking to take on SAP S/4 HANA is the way in which they will put together a model. There are three options:
1.On-premise: This is the more traditional approach for businesses. With this model the organisation is in charge of deployment and maintenance. The benefit here is that the business is in complete control of the solution - from how it will be designed to what it will look like when implemented. However, this same freedom can be a huge pain point. When you choose to work outside of the SAP framework costs can quickly increase.
2.Cloud deployment: As the name suggests, this option involves full deployment in the SAP cloud. This option is particularly appealing in terms of cost. Unlike the on-premise option where deployments can become costly pretty quickly, the cloud deployment option is a lot more manageable in terms of cost. However, because this version is privately deployed on SAP's cloud it is managed externally by SAP, leaving businesses with less flexibility in terms of customisation.
3.Hybrid: Hybrid is the fusion of the two models mentioned above. A mix of both on-premise and cloud based systems allows companies to lessen the risk associated with both sides. However, this also means weakening the benefits.
The variety of choice in how to implement a model means that S/4 HANA is available to more businesses than the previous ECC 6 platform. While SAP used to be a platform primarily used by larger organisations, the flexibility in implementation options (combined with the more affordable price point of cloud deployment) opens the door for SMEs to start leveraging these tools.
What are some of the challenges SAP are facing with adoption of the platform?
While over 2,700 businesses have bought licenses since January 1st, 2016 only a small portion of these have gone through implementations or migrations. This presents a considerable concern because SAP are not able to identify beginner problems, which usually occur in new software releases.
As with any new platform, SAP S/4HANA is going through a teething period. SAP are actively trying to drive implementations so that they can pinpoint and address early problems before more businesses begin deployment.
SAP has struggled to encourage businesses to move forward with adoptions quickly. This is a problem for developers and early implementers as they have a limited number of reference points to spot early issues. Additionally, SAP runs the risk of businesses looking towards cheaper ERP competitors in the interim.
SAP has been, and continues to be, one of the world leaders in enterprise applications for business software. This next generation business suite has a lot to offer businesses of all sizes that go through implementation.
