An adequate query language mustallow users to
query the processesat different,flexible,
granularity levels.
This property can be also called
"flexible zoom-in".
Usersmay wish to ask coarse-grain queries that
consider certainprocess components as black
boxes and allow for high levelabstraction, as
wellas fine-grained queries that ''zoom-in'' on all
theprocess components, possibly recursively.

For example: the query''What should I do to confirm my purchase?''
property nodes:
general description of the process properties,including its name, capabilities, the serviceprovider, and so on.
data nodes:
The data used in the process - the processvariables and the input and output parametersfor the participating activities/services.
activity nodes:
The activities of which the process is composed.
provided operations:
the services offeredby the process to other processes.
describe the external services that the processrequests.
Data flow edges:

Compound node:
a zoom-in allows to replace a compound
activity by a detailed description of the process thatit invokes.

unbounded zoom-in; we look for compound activitiesof type "provided operation", and the compoundactivities that they invoke.
The zoom-in is restrictedto activities whose specifications reside on the same.
The wanted path can be also expressed byattaching a variable - x tothe edge, along with the selectioncondition :
Our query:
Which data elements areaffected by the "tripRequest" activity,and serve as input for sending the suggested tripsback to the client?
a disjoint unionof several domains
including data values, attributenames,
data elementnames, process property
names, and atomicand compound
activity names.
We model a BP as a directed labeled graphwith nodes of two types:
business graph
A business graph is a pair, where
is a directed graph inwhich is a finite set of nodes, andis a setof edges with endpoints nodes in and is a labeling function for the nodes.
business process
A BP is a triple p = (g, start, end),where:
g is a business graph.
start, end are twodistinguished activity nodes in g.
each activitynode in g resides on some path from start toend.
A system S of BPs is a pair , where P is a finite set of BPs, and t is a function, called the "implementation function", from the compound activity nodes in P to BPs in P.
In simple words:
A system is a collection of BPs (or graphs), along with a mapping between compound nodes and their implementations - the processes they invoke.
"start"=compound activity="end"
"start"=compound activity="end"
Implementation of the compound activity
where Q is a set of BP patterns , and tq is an
implementation function (to know where to go from T).
An embedding of q into S is a homomorphism r from the nodes and edges in q to nodes edges and paths in some refinement 0 ¼ ðP0; t of S.
the two main factors that contributeto large or infiniteresults andanswers:
1. flat BPs - BPs with nocompound activities.
each query BP pattern maybe considered in isolation,But answersmay
belarge or infinite.
2. Nested BPs - If each BP has several compound activities, then since these may be refined independently of each other, the number of refinements may be large.
Compound nodes
The solution:
We canrepresent the set of paths between two nodes by acopy of the sub-graph that connects the nodes, And show the connections between the compound nodes and the graphs that implement them.
Onemight actually say this is what the user intended:
tosee the specification of the paths between the the nodes, rather than the individual paths themselves.
1) a (transitive) zoom-in, thatallows to query
processcomponents at any depth ofnesting.
2) the retrieval of paths of interest.
Together, these features allow for simple formulation
of queries on BPs.

A carriage is a wheeled vehicle for people, usually horse-drawn; litters (palanquins) and sedan chairs are excluded, since they are wheelless vehicles. The carriage is especially designed for private passenger use and for comfort or elegance, though some are also used to transport goods. It may be light, smart and fast or heavy, large and comfortable. Carriages normally have suspension using leaf springs, elliptical springs (in the 19th century) or leather strapping. A public passenger vehicle would not usually be called a carriage – terms for such include stagecoach, charabanc and omnibus. Working vehicles such as the (four-wheeled) wagon and (two-wheeled) cart share important parts of the history of the carriage, as is the fast (two-wheeled) chariot.

A full, authoritative, and wholly engaging account of these endlessly fascinating tales and of the ancient society in which they were created.
It would seem that enough books have been written about Greek mythology to fill an entire library. Still, it would be unfortunate to miss this work by Buxton (Greek language and literature, Univ. of Bristol, U.K.), which focuses on the context of the myths rather than the stories themselves. Buxton discusses the origins of Greek mythology, even examining the Greek countryside and its significance in the development of the narratives. The book comes full circle with a concluding chapter on Greek myths after the Greeks, from Roman adaptations to modern transformations. The text is both accessible and scholarly, while 330 illustrations (139 in color) ensure that exquisite photographs of art and of geographical sites grace nearly every page. Interspersed throughout are maps, genealogies, charts, lists, and sidebars, all helpful and intriguing in their own right. Highly recommended, even for libraries whose collections on Greek mythology are already adequate.-Katherine K. Koenig, Ellis Sch., Pittsburgh Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Dubai, Mar 31 (UNI) After Imtiaz Patel turned down the offer for the ICC's next chief executive officer, the governing body has decided to speed-up the search for his replacement and Haroon Lorgat has emerged as the front-runner for the all-important post.
Lorgat, the former convenor of Cricket South Africa's (CSA) selection committee, has already been intimated for a possible meeting with the International Cricket Council's four-memeber recruitment committee this week.
''It's very premature to even talk about this subject,'' Lorgat was quoted as saying by a website.
''But obviously if the job is indeed offered to me, I would consider that a great honour,'' he added.
The other candidate who has been shortlisted for the job is also a South African, Dave Richardson, who is currently the ICC's general manager, cricket.
The ICC president-elect, David Morgan said, ''In fact, we have been fortunate to have several high-calibre candidates on the shortlist, all of whom bring something slightly different to the table.'' The ICC's four-member recruitment committee comprises Morgan, Ray Mali, the ICC president, Sharad Pawar, the BCCI president and Creagh O' Connor, the chairman of Cricket Australia.
''Once the recruitment committee has identified a preferred candidate, it will make a recommendation to the ICC executive board with a view to confirming the appointment at the earliest opportunity,'' an ICC spokesman said.
The new CEO will take over from Malcolm Speed, who steps down from the position after this year's ICC Annual Conference, which will take place between June 29 and July 4.

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State men's basketball head coach Stew Morrill announced Wednesday that high school standout Elston Jones has signed with USU for the 2014-15 season.
Jones is a 6-9 center from Goodyear, Ariz., where he was a four-year letterwinner at Millenium High School. He only played in seven games due to injury in his senior season, but was an honorable mention all-state selection and an all-region honoree as a junior and was a Top 10 Arizona award winner.
"We are very excited about Elston joining our program. We are getting a quality young man from a great family, who has all the tools to be successful at the Division I level," Morrill said. "Elston is a versatile big man who can score at the block, face up on the perimeter and has excellent passing skills. He knows how important size players are in our system and wants to be coached to reach his potential."
Jones averaged 14 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks per game during his career at Millenium HS, posting 17 double-doubles and three triple-doubles during his junior season in helping the Tigers reach the Elite 8 of the Arizona 5A Division I State Tournament. As a freshman, he was a first-team all-Freshman Division I award winner. Jones was named to the first-team of the Dan Marjle Desert Classic, as well as a first-team honoree at the Hobbs Holiday Tournament. He was invited to the All-Academic All-Star Game and the Pangos All-American Camp.
Elston Jones, Jr., is the son of Sharon and Elston Jones, Sr., and intends on majoring in communication studies at USU.
Utah State ended the 2013-14 season with an 18-14 overall and a 7-11 Mountain West record in USU's first season in the league. The seven conference wins were the most of any of the five newest teams to the league in their first season, topping Boise State's three wins in its first season in the league in 2011-12, as well as Fresno State's five wins and Nevada's three wins in their first seasons of 2012-13, along with San José State's one win this season.

In late July a booming swell rolled through Teahupoo and a bunch of guys (Mike Parsons, Brad Gerlach, Laird Hamilton, Garrett McNamara, the usual suspects, etc. etc.) were on it. Well last week Garrett McNamara made his way into the Surfer magazine office with a mini-dv of the goods. We had heard about the monster wave he caught during a debriefing over Chinese food in which Billabong Odyssey front men Bill Sharp and Mike Parsons revealed the heroics of the swell. In-depth play-by-play and analysis somehow digressed into Natividad horror stories, but not before hearing about Garrett's score.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — J.J. McDermott ran and threw for first quarter touchdowns and Southern Methodist University beat Pittsburgh 28-6 on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Rishaad Wimbley ran for two scores for SMU (8-5), which tied a school record by playing in its third consecutive bowl under coach June Jones.
Pittsburgh (6-7) was held without a first down and fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter. Kevin Harper kicked field goals of 32 and 34 yards.
In Frisco, Texas, Brock Jensen threw a touchdown pass right after a fake punt, then had a 1-yard keeper for another score set up by a long interception return and North Dakota State won its first FCS championship.
Sam Houston (14-1) had its lowest-scoring game of the season, 33 points below its FCS-best average, and was denied an undefeated season and its first Football Championship Subdivision title. The Bearkats had only 210 total yards.
NORTH CAROLINA: The NCAA has granted fullback Devon Ramsay a hardship waiver, giving him an extra year of eligibility in 2012.
Ramsay tore several ligaments in his left knee in the 2011 season opener against James Madison. He had surgery in mid-September and missed the rest of the season.

THE eastbound lanes of the main highway between Toowoomba and Brisbane have been closed by a gravel truck crash.
The rollover has closed the Brisbane-bound lanes of the Warrego Highway, and one westbound lane has been blocked by spilt gravel.
Police say once the gravel has been cleared, the westbound lanes will be used to detour traffic in both directions.
They are investigating reports a car was involved in the accident near Marburg between Gatton and Ipswich.
Police expect long delays well into the night.

Despite popular belief, Norway is not the richest country in the world, says Bruce Bawer, a freelance writer based in Oslo. In fact, he says the economic reality of life in Norway is far different than the perception of affluence, which Norwegians themselves believe and want you to believe, too.
In order to uphold their image of superiority, Bawer says Scandinavians often stereotype the United States as a nation divided, inequitably, among robber barons and wage slaves, with armies of the homeless and unemployed. However, numerous studies strongly suggest otherwise:
- Timbro, a Swedish research organization, compared the gross domestic product of the 15 European Union members (before the 2004 expansion) with those of the 50 American states; the only European country with an economic output per person greater than the United States average was Luxembourg, which ranked third, just behind Delaware and slightly ahead of Connecticut.
- KPMG, the international accounting and consulting firm, found when disposable income was adjusted for cost of living, Scandinavians were the poorest people in Western Europe; the leaders on the list were Spain and Portugal, two of Europe's least regulated economies.
- Johan Norberg, a Swedish economist, says that in the last 25 years, economic growth has been 3 percent per annum in the United States, compared to 2.2 percent in the European Union; the gap in purchasing power is constantly widening between the United States at $36,100 per capita and the EU at $26,000.
While these studies confirm Bawer's suspicions, he says references to Norway as the world's richest country still continue and this is obviously one misconception that will not be put to rest by a measly think-tank study or two.

BOSTON The Boston Celtics are not going to have many games where they'll get a ton of tangible production from their bench. But that shouldn't take away from their ability to make an impact. Wednesday was one of those nights when the C's second unit, under-manned just like their fellow starters, got multiple contributions from many in defeating Orlando, 102-98.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers points out that Kevin Garnett generates a considerable amount of his offense with the second unit, so the C's count that among its bench scoring.
"But when you look at a stat sheet, it doesn't look like that," Rivers said. "Our bench is not going to give you 50 points."
Maybe not, but they can still play the role of difference-maker which was indeed the case on Wednesday with a number of backups, such as Greg Stiemsma with his shot-blocking and Keyon Dooling with his ball pressure.
The ability of Boston's second unit to impact Wednesday's game certainly worked out well for the Celtics. Here are some other keys outlined prior to the game, and how they actually panned out in a huge win for the Celtics that clinched their fifth straight Atlantic Division title.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Without Dwight Howard and Glen Davis (knee) questionable, the Magic will have a hard time getting points in the paint tonight. Although Orlando ranks third in the NBA this season with 43.7 points in the paint per game, that number has taken a significant dip since Dwight Howard's back injury. In the last five games minus Howard, Orlando's points-in-the-paint numbers dipped to 33.4 per game which ranks 20th in the league during that span.
WHAT WE SAW: Orlando looked like the Dwight Howard Orlando Magic on Wednesday as they racked up 54 points in the paint compared to just 40 for the Celtics.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Avery Bradley vs. Jameer Nelson: This is the matchup that just a few short months ago, launched the emergence of Avery Bradley as a top-flight defender. Nelson took quite a beating in the press for how Bradley thoroughly overwhelmed him. While Rajon Rondo will see time guarding Nelson, don't be surprised if Nelson appears more aggressive when paired with Bradley.
WHAT WE SAW: Jameer Nelson (21 points, nine assists) did a much better job of handling Avery Bradley's pressure defense, but you still have to give this one to Bradley who tallied a career high-tying 23 points on 10-for-14 shooting. With Rajon Rondo (back) out, Bradley spent almost the entire game playing the point guard position - something the C's would not have envisioned considering his past struggles with the position. "I don't think he could've done that early in the year," said C's coach Doc Rivers. "It's a great thing what confidence does."
PLAYER TO WATCH: Paul Pierce is coming off a season-high 43 points at New York. You have to wonder how much did that game take out of him. Couple that with a sore left big toe and some soreness to his hamstring after taking a knee from Tyson Chandler, you have to expect the Captain won't be nearly as productive a scorer tonight.
WHAT WE SAW: Paul Pierce continues to have one of those impressive, under-the-radar type seasons. With Rondo out, Pierce is no stranger to becoming more of a facilitator. He didn't disappoint, scoring a game-high 29 points to go with a career-high 14 assists. "I was just looking to be aggressive in everything I did," Pierce said.
STAT TO TRACK: If there's one positive for the Magic since Dwight Howard went down with a back injury, it's how the team's turnovers have dropped considerably. For the season, Orlando averages 14.2 turnovers which ranks 17th in the NBA. But in the five games without Howard, the Magic average 11.2 turnovers which trails only the Los Angeles Clippers (10.6 turnovers) for fewest turnovers in that span. The C's have benefited greatly from forcing turnovers. Teams average 15.6 miscues per game against Boston, which ranks sixth in the NBA.
WHAT WE SAW: Orlando got Dwight Howard-like production in terms of points in the paint, and not surprisingly, it resulted in more turnovers. Orlando committed 16 turnovers which resulted in 12 points for the Celtics.

Muay Thai is considered to be the cultural sport of Thailand. Scholars have debated much of its history over the years because of the Burmese attack on Siam's capital city in the 14-century where most of the written history was destroyed by the invading army. The bit that was left is collected in small volumes and held as part of Thailand's sacred text and cultural heritage. It is often referred to as "the art of eight limbs" because of its use of punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes.
History / Origins
The word Muay comes from the Sanskrit word Wavya, which means to "bind together" and the Thai comes from its origin but it was not always known by that name. It's generic name pahuyuth meant "unarmed combat" but it was also called Toi Muay or simply Muay.
Muay Thai is often referred to as "the art of eight limbs" because of its use of punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes. The history of how it began is the stuff of legends. The style of fighting is thought to have developed because of the migration of tribes from China through Vietnam to Cambodia. The major tribe was the Siamese who were also known as the Tai. They fought fiercely to dominate the tribes they found along the way from the south to the north and Central Thailand. Through conflict, combat styles and techniques improved and soon, fathers were passing them along to their sons and they in turn evolved the styles and techniques.
Muay Thai has progressed a lot in the last century. By being the national sport, its popularity is unparalleled in Thailand and it continues to gain recognition throughout the world. In World War II, foreigners began to be heavily introduced to Muay Thai, which they called "Siam Boxing". American and European soldiers would watch Thai soldiers practice Muay Thai amongst themselves and became interested in learning this style of fighting. As it gained more popularity in the 1920's rings were erected in the open for fighters to compete. Rules began to change, as did the implements that were used in the fights. Gloves were changed from the traditional horsehide and hemp rope to those used in modern style Boxing. After World War II stadiums were erected in major cities and rules instituted for each game with timed rounds of 5.
Muay Thai has become so popular that there are training camps and gyms opening up all over the world.
The Thai were always fighting against the Burmese and during that period Muay Thai had been already part of the Thai culture and mandatory training for the military. As time went on the style kept being defined and refined. Soon the fighting style became a sport that young men engaged in and soon it was part of the Thai culture. There are legends that are recounted about how Muay Thai began that put more flavor on the story of the origin of Muay Thai.
The other popular Muay Thai legend is that of Nai Khanom who was a highly skilled Muay Thai fighter in 1767. When the Burmese sacked that Capital city they not only pillaged the magnificent temples, they also took prisoners with them to Burma. Among those prisoners was a fighter known as Nai Khanom Tom. The Burmese king decided to hold a festival to celebrate his victory when he got back to Burma and ordered the Thai slaves to fight with the Burmese fighters for pure entertainment. Nai Khanom Tom entered the ring and asked for a moment to pray. He began a ritualistic dance, which the Burmese fighter took to be some kind of cursing ritual. Nai Khanom Tom simply explained it, as his way of giving respect to his Muay Thai teacher and that it was nothing but a dance. This is where the Wai Kroo, the ritualistic dance that Thai fighters still perform to this day, is thought to have been born. When the fight began, Nai Khanom Tom went on to defeat all the Burmese fighters that were put in the ring with him and he won his freedom and was rewarded with other gifts. He returned to Thailand as a hero and went on to teach Muay Thai and is now known as "the father of Muay Thai".

Are there really that few females who plan on watching this? I tend to naturally assume that there're about an equal amount of males and females watching everything, but that's probably became I'm equally interested in shoujo and shounen, etc.

According to her, she prefers to hang out with like-minded fans, rather than wasting time arguing with people. e.g. She is an AthrunXCagalli shipper, so she goes to a specific net community of AthCaga fanclub for her discussions. (Not that it is for AthCaga; not for any other pairing. It is extremely specific and tailored to the taste of the visitor. The strict mods made sure it stay that way.)
As a guy, I don't really understand her explanations. But I will take her word for it. Are we like lions after all? Women hunt in packs, while men hunt alone?
If the inheritent nature of an internet forum is more male-friendly, perhaps that could be why we have less females in animesuki.

Meh. All that stuff is only true to an extent. I guess it kind of gets my goat when people say things like, "Oh, women are more social," or "Oh, men don't know how to deal with emotions." Sure, it might be a general trend, but the variation among men or among women is ultimately much greater than the concrete differences between the sexes.
Would you join a BL forum full of excited fangirls? Probably not. Would a girl without much interest in bishoujo anime join this forum? Maybe not, as it's what tends to be most popular around here. I've also noticed that female posters tend to get shot down a little bit for making comments that go even slightly against the general fanboy drift (Nanoha/Yuuno for instance). It's not really a big deal, but in the long run it doesn't do much to reel the ladies in.
Everyone can comment on the behavior of the people they know. I've been to forums with a lot of females and forums like this one with less (I don't think it'd be as unbalanced as people suspect if we ran a poll in one of the off-topic forums down below, though). Certainly LJ comms tend to be vastly more female than male, but I don't think this says anything in particular about the female psyche... after all, the way LJ comms are run is very similar to the way forums are run, and the ensuing debates can be just as flame-filled and wanky. It's just that people tend to go where like-minded people have already gathered, and that applies as much to men here as women elsewhere.

From personal experience, i find that guys can mingle around the groups more easily than girls can but are often less attached to em than girls are. I could be wrong but guys are more drawn to arguements than women are on the forums. (atleast a greater number of posters i argued with are guys)
But back to the topic, i think there would be a lot more girls watching this since it's on a shoujo magazine and deals with girl otaku-ism?

It deals with a girl version of male-otakuism (these aren't exactly fujoshi, lol... they do play eroge and stuff), and it runs in a PC magazine aimed at males, not a shoujo mag. For a clearer depiction of female otakuism it might be better to turn to something like Genshiken... or the latter part of the manga, at any rate.
None of this is a strike against Lucky Star or should prevent it from being watched by females, of course. If it's anything like Azumanga Daioh, it should have a very broad crossover audience, and otaku humor tends to play well with everyone, as long as it isn't mind-numbingly obscure. We did see the opposite happening with Ouran, which had a solid male audience and made heaps of fun of female otaku.

Men tend to be more aggressive. Fact. Men tend to objectify things more. Fact. Women usually empathize better. Fact. Women tend to have better verbal skills. Fact.
Certainly there are exceptions like all things, but the majority of cases show that men and women tend to follow these patterns. Social constructs were placed to enhance these core biological patterns. Aggressive people tend to gain more power more often,and the fact is there has never been one instance of a human civilization in all of history that did not have male domination of power and status, and while we've taken great steps to even the playing field for both genders, males still dominate society. You may say that modern civilization is more 'advanced' than past ones, but consider that the ancient Romans granted citizenship to any person regardless of color if they worked for it (or got lucky somehow), while America just a couple hundred years ago saw blacks as animals. Or the fact that many Americans today see homosexuals as abnormal, when the ancient Greeks had no problems at all with homosexuality.
You can continue to even the playing field, but if that biological need to be aggressive and drive oneself with reckless abandon, if the motivation doesn't exist it's extremely hard for any person to acquire power and status.
Does all this make me feel good about it? No, but the evidence shows that it's true, and truth is truth, no matter how good or bad it makes one feel. We just have to live with it somehow.

I'm female as well^^ and I'm going to watch it because I'm interested in KyoAni's adaptation since I did not like the manga very much...
I think it's true that females tend to hang-out in their tight-knit fan communities...
E.g: There are more females on livejournal and more males on general anime forums.
I hang out on botih equally, since I am not fixed on any genre at all and I do watch bishoujo anime^^ and I do find female characters moé but I still prefer handsome male characters

In between each course is a down time of 2 to 3 days. Some students stay back to volunteer and assist in sweeping out each meditation hall, puffing up the pillows and laying them out for the next course.
This is a welcoming time, and my favorite during courses. The whole complex, whichever meditation retreat center you are staying at, becomes 'yours'; you sleep, meditate, contemplate, pray, and eat at your own pace while cleaning with a small team. It feels good to recover from the last retreat, and you feel quite Holy, caring for the complex's arriving students and meditating whenever you wish.
It was during this downtime when a student mentioned, "Hey, I have a copy of "The Dhamma Brothers", let's round up all the sevaks (those who volunteer for 10-day courses) and watch it together in one of the halls.
I hadn't heard of The Dhamma Brothers, and I was happy to see a movie, so I gladly said Yes.
We huddled up in the women's main hall, about 20 of us, sitting quietly, some westerners and the rest, people from India. The movie began and I was so happy to learn it was all about bringing a Vipassana 10-day retreat to an American Prison in Alabama to hardened criminals to observe the effectiveness of the technique.
The movie for me surfaced a deep emotion which came out of left field. It was the first time since I had arrived to India that I actually felt like flying home immediately to begin helping underprivileged and incarcerated prisoners to rehabilitate them from the inside out.
I hadn't felt the urge to leave India until then, so powerful is the movie. I was in tears, and quite shocked that I was half-way across the world, and they were talking about an Alabama State Prison so close to my hometown of Houston, Texas.
Watching the Dhamma Brothers helped me realize how disconnected our system is in incarcerating Americans; a system that thrives on recidivism and cheap labor. I had just finished my own 10 days in silence, personally experiencing the power of vipassana, so i knew the real possibility of rehabilitating anyone from any affliction, as I had been to hell and back over the previous 6 years, and I was beginning to feel quite uplifted about life again, much in part to Vipassana.
I also knew that my excitement to fly back to the US was an emotional reaction triggered by the movie, and if it was real, I'd observe it and see if it would last a few days before acting on it. I ended up staying in India another 11 months, being invited to spend a long sabbatical at a retreat center to meditate and volunteer. This helped me uncover and heal years of depression and to understand my mind for myself, something i value highly.
It's now been a few years since then, and a follow-up video to The Dhamma Brothers has been featured on Oprah's Spiritual Super Soul Sundays show. I've even written to one of the prisoners in the movie asking them that if they ever get out, to come join our Vipassana New World ministry, because they are such Light-filled inspirations for their fellow inmates.
And that's a great question we all seem to be scratching our heads about these days.
I believe many of us are ready to allow for the old to crumble and for a new to pop up in its place. What is the new, and what major calamity would take place to topple such a massive current infrastructure?
Vipassana and all advanced forms of personal development allow for each of us to uncover our own truths, to be strong in our integrity, to abide by the Laws of Nature, to live good lives, and to give to others from our heartspace. By continuing to spread such a wonderful technique of self-Awakening, we live the Laws of Nature. We let go of the past hurts and we welcome here and now, this present moment.
One main law of our universe is that we naturally receive more of what we focus on. If we all align ourselves little by little with our higher selves, in pursuit of our joyfilled existence, then we'll naturally let go of what isn't working, and we'll all shift into the creation and support of "what is working", whatever that may be.
In truth, we all inherently know what that is. The rulebook of how to live a purpose-filled life is in each of us, and it's been written many times. We know what promotes peace, community, health, sustainability, and inspiration, and we know what promotes war, greed, suffering, lawsuits, and ill-health. We've all done this before. When speaking about joy, peace, and our path to healing, Gandhi once said, "It's as old as the hills."
I believe in our great nation. When I feel myself and when i speak one-on-one to people in life-coaching sessions, the amount of hope and motivation and strength is each of us is profound. I believe that in the coming decade, we will see a great shift in our world that will begin to align more with the Laws of Nature. No more 3 Strikes Your Out. Rather, society will give you a chance again and again and again, as life does. And we'll watch out for our brothers and sisters all around us, as "I am you and you are me", and when you suffer, we all suffer.
If we set out to redesign our System with these goals in mind, while promoting daily, consistent personal development, this vision of our compassionate, peacefilled, prosperous, wealthy, and healthy society will become our reality sooner than we think.
So for those of you who haven't watched The Dhamma Brothers, and for those of you in the health and wellness fields and social programs this movie, along with "Doing Time, Doing Vipassana" may help rekindle your Light of passion and purpose for you.
Wishing you the Best in stepping forward with courage, action, and faith,
Jan T.

It is a good question. Who is my best friend. The same question was asked to Jesus by one of the expert in the law. I would like to reproduce the story hereunder:
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'[c]; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
Now I hope you understand who is your best friend.
Have many good friends.

If you have feelings for him/her. For example the feeling of comfort when your around the person. Ask yourself am I being myself around these people. If you are and your true personality is showing your probably with the people you love. And also ask yourself if you have fun around your friends, and are they there for you if something happens. Friends can't just be judged on one aspect, but these questions you should ask yourself should help out.

Longevity does not necessarily make a good friend. Longevity means that both parties agree that their mutual company is something that is desired, wanted or needed depending whether the other was filling the void of companionship or that they just did not want to be alone.
Wisdom is a great precursor for assessing friendship. If a person is willing to give part of themselves by imparting knowledge (especially by what they have learned or experience),I would say you were on the right track. On the other hand if the other was giving you their wisdom without your needing, wanting or without their truly listening to what your need were, I would say that unfortunately they were giving you their time to make themselves feel good.
Now were on to kindness, kindness is also an excellent nod that you and your friend are on the right track. Being kind takes a lot of effort because it very often requires the sacrificing of time and the accessing of internal resources.
And as for the what at the end of your question, I would say if you can look back on the "friendship" and can find mutual respect, care and honest to goodness good times, and can look to the present and future can see more of the same I can say in my humble opinion you may have a friend.
Questioning your friendship if indeed it passes your test could be a matter of personal growth on your part or your friends or maybe both. Personal growth brings change of opinions, interests and attitudes. And this could be what you are experiencing.
Hope this helps!

I have to agree with Hasifa on this one - if you have to question whether they are, or harbor any doubts about it, then likely they truly are not.
Friends act like friends - they don't back stab, or treat you like a bank, or a free place to sleep. They don't make the relationship one sided, and they will listen to anything you have to say, even if all they can do is listen.

you can and deep down you know.....it is the same as haing a good feeling about something. That feeling never goes away because this person and the relationship that you have s consistent. I will compare it to feeling safe or secure, you know that not only will they protect you from harm, they wont bring any to you. As for longevity, it goes both ways, one person can't bring longevity to a relationship, it is a innocent give and take through bonding that brings longevity. When you have a friend that makes you feel this way, be sure that they are indeed more than a friend (of course in a platonic way)

(Adds total foreign holdings of Egyptian treasuries)
CAIRO, June 21 (Reuters) - Average yields on Egypt's three- and seven-year treasury bonds were mixed at an auction on Wednesday, while average yields on six-month and one-year treasury bills rose at another auction on the same day, data from the central bank showed.
The average yields on the three-year bonds rose to 18.382 percent from 18.271 percent at the last auction on June 12, while the seven-year bond yields dipped to 18.346 percent from 18.377 percent.
At another auction on Wednesday, the average yield on the 182-day bill rose to 20.413 percent from 20.384 percent at the last sale on June 15, while the yield on the 364-day bill rose to 20.390 percent from 20.307 percent at a previous auction.
Foreigners have been buying up Egyptian government debt since the central bank hiked its key interest rates by 200 basis points last month.
Foreign holdings in Egyptian government securities rose seven percent in the past week to hit 164 billion Egyptian pounds ($9.09 billion) the head of public debt at Egypt's Finance Ministry, Sami Khallaf, said on Wednesday. ($1 = 18.0500 Egyptian pounds) (Reporting by Arwa Gaballa and Eric Knecht, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Rachel's big day
Sky Sports News presenter Rachel Wyse spoke of her pride after raising more than £11,000 for charity by riding in the St Patrick's Day Derby.
By Dave Ord, Cheltenham
Last Updated: 17/03/11 6:34pm
Rachel Wyse has spoken of her pride at raising more than £11,000 for Cancer Research after partnering Silent Jo in the St Patrick's Day Derby at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Sky Sports News presenter finished unplaced on Jonjo O'Neill's charge and admits she'd love another crack at the race in the future.
"That's the most exhausting thing I've ever done," she said afterwards. "The race went well but at the bottom of the hill both horse and jockey began to get a little tired! AP McCoy said I did everything right though which was great.
"I have so many people to thank for their help along the way, especially JP McManus and those who kindly donated to my Just Giving page. It's been incredible. We're raised over £150,000 between the 12 riders for a great charity and I've had the most wonderful six weeks. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat."
Andy Cairns, head of Sky Sports News, paid tribute to his colleague saying: "We are so proud of Rachel. It's an amazing achievement to do what she has done given she'd never sat on a racehorse until six weeks ago.
"It's testament to the professional way she approaches everything that it's gone so well."
Dale Tempest of sponsors Sky Bet said: "We are very proud of Rachel and delighted everyone came back safe and so much money was raised for a wonderful cause."
The race was won by Lorna Fowler on hot favourite Plato, trained by the legendary Henry Cecil.

When Ace Sanders snapped off a 68-yard punt return for a touchdown in the season opener against East Carolina, most people thought the Gamecocks were gearing up for a turnaround season on special teams.
But, if anything, the first seven weeks have shown explicitly how far USC has to go before they see significant improvement in a critically important area.
After John Butler was hired as special teams coordinator in February, he spent a considerable amount of time in the spring working on improving kickoff returns after USC finished 11th in the SEC in that category with an average of 20.4 yards per return.
Article Continues Below
Through seven games, USC is averaging 20.5 yards on 17 kickoff returns in 2011, an increase of one-tenth of a yard. The longest return has been 35 yards by Bruce Ellington.
The kickoff coverage unit is also about the same. USC had a net average of 43.7 yards on kickoffs in 2010. A year later, USC's net kickoff average is 43.6 yards, 10th-best in the SEC.
"We're not quite making anything happen, no question about it," USC head coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday. "It's frustrating for all of us. We're not holding guys up real well, not blocking real well on kickoff returns."
Mostly because of Sanders' TD return against the Pirates, USC has seen their punt return average more than double from 3.4 yards in 2010 to 7.9 yards in 2011, sixth in the SEC.
However, that's small consolation to Butler, who is working feverishly to ignite a spark under USC's special teams. USC jumped out to a quick start, but the pace has slowed considerably in recent weeks.
"I'm doing kind of a self-scout right now," Butler said Tuesday. "We've had four explosive plays and our opponents have had five total. Four of them on both sides of the ball were in the first two games. We've got to do a better job of trying to find out how we can create them, but we have been doing a good job of not giving them up. We've given up one punt return and one kickoff return and both of them were in the Georgia game. Both gave them good field position, but really didn't hurt us. Our coverage units have been good, but our return units need to be improved."
Ellington and D.J. Swearinger are now working as USC's top kickoff returners. Ellington is averaging 22.2 yards on 11 returns, while Swearinger returned his first kickoff of the season for 16 yards in last Saturday's 14-12 win at Mississippi State.
Butler described Ellington and Swearinger as "co-returners" on Tuesday. USC's two kickoff returns in Starkville went for 17 and 16 yards.
"I told Coach Butler that I was watching the highlights of the Texas-Oklahoma State game (last Saturday) and they had back-to-back kickoffs for a touchdown, so they are possible out there," Spurrier said. "We're not even getting back to the 30 or so. Seems like in the East Carolina game we got back to midfield and had the punt return. We're still working on it. I don't know if changing personnel is the answer."
Like his predecessor, Butler is trying to improve the blocking in front of the returners. So far, the results have been mixed.
"I'm just trying to find a spark. It's not really about those guys though. Those guys are doing a solid job," Butler said. "We've got to block better for them. We have to hold guys up better. There are too many guys at the point of attack who are missing (blocks). They know who they're supposed to block, they're just getting beat physically. We worked on that hard today. We just have to try to find a way."
Butler faces a tricky situation. Does he try to make personnel changes at this point or just attempt to get the current players to play better?
"I don't know. It's a combination of both. You have to find the right fit and find the right guys who can do it," Butler said. "I want to use as many good players or starters on special teams as I can, but we have to be smart. We just have to keep plugging along. Sooner or later, we'll have something pop."
If USC's kickoff returns don't improve, will lightning-fast freshman Damiere Byrd get an opportunity to show what he can do? Possible.
"He's got to give us a spark somewhere, but guys have got to earn their keep," Butler said. "Until he shows it on the practice field, those guys (Ellington and Swearinger) will play."
Sanders is fourth in the SEC in punt returns with an average of 9.9 yards and has displayed his usual fearlessness when it comes to making fair catches in traffic. Sixty-eight of his 119 punt return yards came on the TD play in the season opener.
"We're trying of late to get some pressure on the punter and that has not opened things up for him in the return game," Butler said. "Ace has done a great job other than the ball against Kentucky that he misjudged. He's fielded the ball close to about a 95 percent rate. The punters we've been facing every week, the net punting against us has been somewhere between 42, 43, 44 (yards) - that's tough."
Marty Markett, the second-fastest player on the team behind Byrd, remains USC's most productive player in terms of covering kickoffs and punts.
"It's like a really good defensive lineman that gets penetration," Butler said. "What happens is, he gets so much penetration on the kickoffs, there are no creases in there. They can't attack us north and south. They have to bounce to the perimeter. Some of those other guys we've gotten in there, we have four or five walk-ons in there, guys who really want to make the travel squad, they've helped us.
Only four of Jay Wooten's 41 kickoffs have sailed into the end zone for touchbacks, but his boots have usually had enough trajectory to allow USC's coverage team to run down the field and make the tackle.
"Jay doesn't have many touchbacks, but he's giving us about 4.05 or 4.1 hang time so we're getting down there covering," Butler said. "Guys are in their lanes and we've been making tackles. That's been positive. Other than the one return we gave up against Georgia, they've done a good job."
Joey Scribner-Howard is averaging 40.5 yards on 31 punts in seven games. His longest punt of 60 yards came in last week's win at Mississippi State. Overall, USC's net punt average of 36.8 yards is eighth in the SEC.
"Joey is doing pretty well," Spurrier said. "He's not an All-American punter, but he's done OK. I don't know if he punted in high school. He was more of a field goal and extra point guy. But he's done pretty well. He shanks one every now and then, but he does pretty well back there."
Scribner-Howard has been asked to punt rugby style a few times this year, but the results haven't been encouraging so far.
"Every football player on our team has to be able to execute what the coaches ask them to do," Butler said. "Everybody nowadays has to be able to run the rugby punt or else everybody will run seven or eight guys up inside like Vanderbilt did on the play that roughed our punter. He executes that in practice flawlessly, but then came out in the game, took his eye off the ball and punted it into the stands. He can't do that. He has to be able to do what we ask him to do - punt the ball in that situation.
"If he gives us a 40-yard punt, that thing is going to roll an extra 10 yards. We had Antonio (Allen) and Marty Markett in his (the returner's) face. Joey has done a very good job. He's really had three punts this year that have been severely substandard. That's hurt our stats, but hasn't hurt the outcome of our games. He also had four punts over 4.5 hang time and four over 40 yards (in the last game), so he's helped us."

text: I have a kel-tec PF9. Tried some of my gold dot 124+P and the recoil was a bit much; follow-up shots are slow and though this isn't a major concern for self-defense needs, it does hurt my hand after 7 quick shots. Basically I'm looking for a 115 gr non+P load because this is such a light gun. I've narrowed it down to the Fiocchi($20/50) and Federal($16/50) b/c they fit this criteria and they are also a reasonable price for 50 rounds. Other possible loads (looking at ATG's site) include the Black Hills 115 gr EXP ($30/50), some Cor-Bon loads, Rem UMC 115 gr (poor performer?) and Gold Dot 115 gr ($22/20). Now I do realize that neither of my selected loads are the best available 9mm loads today and I myself prefer 124 gr loads anyway (I've never tried 147). However, I don't think heavier/faster loads are the best for my chosen kel-tec. I think the XTP(by Hornady) is probably a better bullet than the hi-shock, but I'm not sure if Fiocchi is as trustworthy as using a round made by Federal. As I understand it, the Hi-shock was a "proven, trusted" round years ago. What do you think? Kel-tec, Kahr and other small 9mm owners are especially encouraged to reply...what do you use?

Buzz Bissinger, who wrote Prayer for the City about Ed Rendell, has a NYTimes editorial about the impending death of independent Philadelphia newspapers, as a group of political interests, headed by Ed Rendell, is looking to buy up the local papers.
He argues that, without an independent voice, the local powers that are running Philly into the ground would have no effective check. It's an interesting idea. I have no idea what it would take for Philadelphia to get better. It's a shame. The city really is quite beautiful, and it has a rich history, but the politics of that city are thoroughly rotten.
Still, cheesesteaks!

Replication may be one-way or two-way. Two-way replication is much more complicated because of the possibility that a replicated object may have been updated differently in the two locations in which case some method is needed to reconcile the different versions.
For example, Lotus Notes can automatically distribute document databases across telecommunications networks. Notes supports a wide range of network protocols including X25 and Internet TCP/IP.

A WORLD record attempt to reach uncharted polar territory looks set to include 36-year-old Windsor woman Kayley Arthington on the team.
Miss Arthington, of Oxford Road, has been chosen by famed explorer Jim McNeill to be part of a 28-strong team which aimsmeans to become the first in history to reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility.
It is the last truly significant spot in the polar regions yet to be reached by mankind. It is defined as the furthest point from land on the Arctic Ocean and therefore its geographic centre.
It is more than 200 miles further than the Geographic North Pole and the whole journey will be near to 800 miles from the northern shores of Canada, taking in the North Magnetic Pole en route.
It is Mr McNeill's third attempt at the challenge – his last had to be abandoned when breaking ice proved too dangerous.
Having been selected for the Ice Warrior Quest, Miss Arthington, a maintenance engineer with the Royal Mail based in Langley, will now undergo an intensive training session to prepare her for the expedition.
She said: "I was selected to go after a tough weekend on Dartmoor. In January, we will be going to Norway's most northern town to get used to the cold while learning medical and rescue skills and rope work."
She is no stranger to adventure, having backpacked to Japan and spent two years in Tanzania with the Voluntary Service Overseas group teaching electrical engineering in a vocational college.
She said: "My heart is still over there. I have been back three times."
While taking part in the Ice Warrior Quest, she will travel on foot over a gruelling 20-day period.
The team will have sledges that double as kayaks and emergency shelters specially designed for this expedition.
Members will be gathering vital scientific data throughout and the expedition could make a major contribution to global warming knowledge.
Where does Miss Arthington get her spirit of adventure?
She said: "I put it down to going to brownies, guides and rangers as a kid.
"My parents made me think I could do anything I wanted. They think this is bonkers. They are excited but they know it is dangerous."

We visited peaceful, stately Longleat House
once belonging to Lord Bath in Wiltshire
I know what you're thinking...
how grand
how historical
how pastoral...
You would be right
You would be right
But look what's really going on
at the property
(wink, wink)
(wink, wink)
These furry hoodlums jump onto every passing car,
'lifting' whatever they can get their monkey hands on!
It was outrageous!
Opened in 1966, Longleat was the first drive-through safari park outside Africa
With the idea that animals are in large enclosures and
people are in 'cages' (aka cars)
you really get quite a view
Yep, quite a view indeedy...

Yep, quite a view indeedy...
Above, you can see a playset for the monkeys
but with license plates, hubcaps, windshield wipers, and antennas to rip off
who needs a playset?
|Worse For Wear: a dangling wiper and broken antennae
Hmm, does his insurance policy include monkey damage?
Cars can detour the monkey enclosure if desired
As you can imagine, the safari park takes no responsibility for damage
I've never seen anything quite like it!
{ they jumped on our car but didn't succeed in taking anything, those rascals }
{ they jumped on our car but didn't succeed in taking anything, those rascals }
While I'm not a big fan of zoos,
this seems an ideal setting for animals in captivity
This used to be one of the longest yew mazes in England
Although it may no longer hold that title,
it was certainly the most difficult one we've tackled yet
To finish the day
we fed sea lions
walked among meerkats
It was an unforgettable day for my animal-loving kids
and for me, thoughts of monkeys from
the Wizard Of Oz kept running through my mind :)
I wonder why...

Discussion in 'Coleman No:502' started by idahostoveguy, Aug 14, 2009.
Some pics of a Coleman 502 Sportster that I recently fettled.
Hey what did you need to fettle to get it working ???
I wish I had a before picture...
I had to:
1. Clean the generator out. It was completely clogged and gummed up with black tar.
2. The knob and valve were stuck. Fixed that with a soak in some solvent.
3. Burner and manifold were a mess. Gummed up and had rust all over. Wire wool on each burner ring piece.
4. Fuel pick-up tube needle was stuck. Cleaned it up.
5. Cleaned out the tank.
6. High heat painted the burner, valve body bracket, and manifold.
7. Citric acid on the brass pieces including the generator, which went from black to shiny brass.
Hello Idahoestove
I have the same stove as yours. Bus the flame looks less powefull. I tried to clean the generator with citric acid but the spring inside the generator still doesn`t come out of the tube for better cleaning. Is the spring fixed in the tube? How can I clean the generator? New generators are very expensive here in germoney.
regards: Endy
To remove the spring from inside Coleman generators, you need the special tool.
Take a heavy duty paper clip, straighten it out, then put a 90 degree twist on the end, about 3 mm long.
Screw the 'special tool' into the genny and then pull hard..
It should pop out!
Hey, Bajabum!
That's my company proprietary secret tool! It's obvious I have a corporate spy living with me!
Carburetor cleaner will also help loosen things up too. I let my generator soak in a solution of kero, white gas and carb cleaner for an hour and it was loose enough to pull out with my 'proprietary tool'.
Yeah, I found an old Coleman brochure on the site that showed Original tools for generator dissasembly. The paper clip tool is a cheaper fix !
And they work well!!!

The owner of a midtown seafood restaurant and market is making another attempt to allow eat-in dining at his business.
Charlie Russo Jr., owner of Russo's Seafood, is petitioning Tuesday to rezone the property, according to the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission.
The rezoning would remove a restriction that only allows take-out orders at the restaurant, located in the Thomas Square neighborhood on East 40th and Abercorn streets.
Russo refused comment Friday.
Thomas Square Neighborhood Association President Virginia Mobley said she and other association members will attend Tuesday's meeting to oppose the rezoning because the restaurant is surrounded by residential structures.
"If the MPC and city allow him to have this special provision removed from his property, then they are going to set a precedent for the entire city," Mobley said. "It just doesn't affect his property. It affects every property in Savannah."
If history is any indication, Mobley and other opponents of Russo's request don't have much to worry about.
The city of Savannah cited Russo in 2007 for violating zoning restrictions after he agreed to operate as a take-out-only restaurant but then created sit-down dining.
After a court hearing, the city allowed him to operate while he applied to have the property rezoned.
In May 2007, the planning commission recommended the rezoning be denied, but Russo pulled his application before the issue went to the Savannah City Council.
Russo later combined the former house where the take-out business operated with his market next door to create a corner property.
In Thomas Square, zoning allows commercial activities on the corners of blocks.
Earlier this year, Russo had the two parcels merged into one, but the change does not affect the zoning, said Jim Hansen, the commission's director of development services.
Hansen said the commission is recommending the request be denied.
"We feel the combination of uses are too intense for that area."
