Your Summer Adventure Reading List
We present the summer reads sure to thrill, no matter what brand of excitement you're in the mood for.
If You Want to Drive Cross-Country with Your Dog Sitting Shotgun
Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck
Stefan Marolachakis, senior editor, @stefanmymind
Travels with Charley is John Steinbeck's nonfiction travelogue about the cross-country road trip he embarked upon at the age of 60, alone except for the company of his trusty poodle, Charley. His stated goal: to acquaint himself with what he referred to as "the new America." He launched from Long Island, New York, and made it all the way to his native Salinas and back—with Charley at his side all the while.
Most Incredible Moment: I don't think I've ever related as deeply and instantly with a writer as I did when I first read this book's opening lines: "When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch... Nothing has worked. Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping."
If You Want to Throw a Bunch of Insane Costume Parties and Wreak Havoc on Your Town:
Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh
Rebecca Bates, senior editor, @re.beccabates
Evelyn Waugh's 1930 novel satirizes the Bright Young Things, a group of bourgeois and aristocratic young people (which included Waugh and other writers and artists) who shocked London in the 1920s with their outrageous, destructive parties. Vile Bodies follows writer Adam Fenwick-Symes as he chases down the cash he needs to marry his girlfriend, which includes taking a job writing about his friends for a newspaper's society gossip column. The book ends with our luckless protagonist on a bleak, war-torn landscape, actually a fun twist on the staid romantic comedy.
Most Incredible Moment: This description of the Bright Young Things' endless parties is just brilliant: "...Victorian parties, Greek parties, Wild West parties, Russian parties, Circus parties, parties where one had to dress as somebody else, almost naked parties in St. John's Wood, parties in flats and studios and houses and ships and hotels and nightclubs…."
If You Want to Go on a Passionate Trip to Italy:
Spending by Mary Gordon
Rebecca Deczynski, editorial assistant, @rebeccadecz
Yes, this novel gets quite steamy, but Mary Gordon's articulate, feminist prose is a far cry from the overplayed, awkward romance writing one might find in a typical beach read. Painter Monica Szabo challenges preconceived notions of the artist-muse relationship when B steps into her life, providing her with both the inspiration and the funds necessary to create her magnum opus—while also prompting a number of debates on ethics, relationships, religion, and the nature of art itself. If you're looking for a provocative (and occasionally erotic) novel with some brains behind it, this one's for you.
Most Incredible Moment: The scandalous—and definitively sacrilegious—epiphany that leads Monica to create her masterwork (and go on a couple of jaunts around Italy) is a jaw-dropping scene—I was left gasping at the audacity of Gordon's own thoughts.
If You Want to Channel Your Inner Rapscallion:
Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
Luke Crisell, editor, @lukecrisell
While on holiday (the book's English, I'm English—we'll have no "vacations" here, I'm afraid) in The Lake District, in the north of England, the children of two families—the Walkers and the Blacketts—join forces against a common enemy: "Captain Flint," a "retired pirate" who has abstained himself from the usual summer fun to write his memoirs. But the campaign needs a leader, so the Walkers, sailing a dinghy called Swallow, and the Blacketts, in a dinghy called Amazon, engage in adventure after adventure, capturing boats, and sailing by night to places with evocative names like Wild Cat Island, while the real enemy lurks elsewhere all along… Arthur Ransome's 1930 tale of childhood derring-do is a classic of children's literature and a celebration of youthful innocence that is also one of the first adventure stories I ever encountered; the wide-eyed excitement that glitters on the page hasn't dulled, and I doubt it ever will. I can't wait to read it to my kids one day, when I have some.
[Ed note: There have been numerous adaptations of the story but the new BBC film, with the addition of Russian spies, we're told, will be released in August.]
Most Incredible Moment: This is a world of children's make-believe so "incredible" might not be the right word. A memorable moment though is when Captain Nancy Blackett, implacable commander of the Swallows, surrenders to the Amazons rather than be late for breakfast. How wonderfully British! It's the most important meal of the day, after all.
If You Want Some Motivation to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Lost on Planet China: One Man's Attempt to Understand the World's Most Mystifying Nation by J. Maarten Troost
Chantal Strasburger, assistant editor, @chantagold
I read this book after studying abroad in Shanghai, and J. Maarten Troost's observations and anecdotes had me both laughing out loud and wanting desperately to go back. Lost on Planet China follows Troost around one of the most intriguing countries in the world as he humorously experiences a culture that is unfamiliar to him, while skillfully summarizing the nation's vast and complex history. It's a great read for understanding the advantages of trying things that are unfamiliar to you (like yak, for example).
Most Incredible Moment: In a sneaky attempt to cross into North Korea unnoticed, Troost hires a tiny speedboat to quickly take him into North Korean waters and back—but as soon as they're six feet from the shore and North Korean soldiers take notice of him, the engine dies. I won't give away how it ends. Enjoy!
If You Want to Travel to Find the Best Food:
American Fried by Calvin Trillin
Martin Sanchez, writer, @thet_t
This is journalist and humorist Calvin Trillin's first book of food writing, published in 1974. (With the two books that followed, it forms what is now known as his "Tummy Trilogy.") American Fried is a collection of stories in which Trillin snubs the "fine dining" of the era by searching out America's most glorious food: the fare found in diners, roadside stands, and hole-in-the-wall eateries across the country.
Most Incredible Moment: It's impossible to pick one, but do enjoy this line between now and obtaining your own copy: "Fairs are good places to eat, particularly for stand-up eaters—which is one of the kinds of eaters I am, although when I eat standing up away from home I sometimes miss the familiar cool breeze coming from the open refrigerator."
If You Want to Get Ready for the Best Semester of Your Life:
Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me by Richard Fariña
Christian Storm, Photo Editor, @cstorm44
This '60s counterculture classic begins with the main character, Gnossos Pappadopoulis (what a name!), returning to campus (a thinly veiled Cornell) in the fall, and follows him on an odyssey of women, cheap beer, and a quick trip to Cuba during the revolution. While the book is full of Beat Generation-style metaphors and themes, it is, at its heart, simply a story about the coolest kid at school.
Most Incredible Moment: To me, the most affecting part doesn't even happen in the book. Two days after Been Down So Long was published in 1966, 29-year-old Fariña was killed in a motorcycle accident, robbing the world of a burgeoning literary talent. Reading his final work with this knowledge adds an extra layer of gravitas.
If You Want to Experience a New City And Listen to Some Great Music:
Just Kids by Patti Smith
Catherine Fuentes, managing editor, @cat_fuentes
Patti Smith's first memoir tells the story of when she moved to New York City in the 1960s to pursue a life in the arts. Her chance meeting with artist Robert Mapplethorpe changed the course of her life, and Just Kids tells the story of the enduring friendship that developed as the two experienced New York's vibrant creative world, and pushed each other to grow as artists in their respective fields.
Most Incredible Moment: I couldn't put this book down when I first read it because of the vivid descriptions of some of New York's most storied cultural landmarks. As a New Yorker obsessed with classic rock, reading Smith's descriptions of interacting with legendary musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin at the Hotel Chelsea's restaurant El Quijote—a restaurant I grew up going to with my family—made this the first rock 'n' roll autobiography that I just got on a deeper level. Whenever I hear that someone is moving to New York to pursue anything creative (which might very well be one of the greatest adventures ever), this is the first book I recommend they read.
If You Want to Frolic In a Painting That's Set in the French Countryside
Sacre Bleu: A Comedy D'Art by Christopher Moore
Chanel Parks, assistant editor, @chanelinezp
Where do I even start with this novel? Put simply: Vincent van Gogh dies under mysterious circumstances, and a baker in late 19th-century Paris teams up with infamous painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to find out what happened. This curiosity leads them to two transcendent characters, one of whom is allegedly the muse behind a slew of well-known paintings from the beginning of time up through the Impressionist era . Yes, it's a work of fiction, but the fast-paced and deeply engrossing novel will put you in a tailspin.
Most Incredible Moment: There are too many great moments in this hyperactive novel, but one that stands out is right at the beginning of the book, where we're seeing van Gogh just moments before his death. Moore paints an idyllic, yet simplistic vision of France—one that made me want to be there instead of cooped up on a commuter bus, where I read this novel years ago. Case in point: "He set his easel at the pitchfork junction of three dirt roads. Three wheat fields lay before him and a cornfield behind. He was nearly finished with the painting, the golden wheat under an angry blue-black sky swirling with storm clouds."
If Your Preferred Surrealism is of the Magical Variety
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
Natalia Tyndall, administrative assistant, @tallylabella
I've read this book in both its original Spanish, and an English translation, and it blew my mind equally in both forms. Márquez crafts an alternate world following multiple generations of the Buendía family in a magical town named Macondo. The meticulous manner in which he is able to portray an intricate web of characters and their inter-generational drama, while infusing it all with his signature brand of magical realism, makes this an absolute classic.
Most Incredible Moment: One theme of the novel is the inherently cyclical and repetitive nature of human behavior—which is what makes this line so important: "Wherever they might be they always remember that the past was a lie, that memory has no return, that every spring gone by could never be recovered, and that the wildest and most tenacious love was an ephemeral truth in the end."

INDIANAPOLIS -- IndyCar veteran Ed Carpenter has signed a three-race deal with Panther and Vision Racing.
Carpenter will drive the No. 20 car in Chicago, Kentucky and Homestead. Carpenter hasn't raced since finishing 17th in the Indy 500 in May.
The 29-year-old Carpenter is winless in 100 career IndyCar starts. He narrowly missed his first victory at Kentucky last summer when Ryan Briscoe nipped him by 0.0162 seconds.
Carpenter's full-time ride at Vision Racing was shuttered during the offseason. He spent six seasons as an IndyCar regular, finishing a career-best 12th in the standings in 2009.

Go West, Young Humanist
Posted on December 29th, 2006 in Uncategorized | 10 Comments »
Stanford has just instituted a new policy: a $5,000 research grant every year for every professor in the humanities, whether tenured or non-tenured.
In announcing the grants, President John Hennessy cited the difficulty of humanities professors getting support at a time that âthe challenges of the world will make humanities as important, if not more important, than theyâve ever been.â
(That, by the way, is a very different message than the one emanating from Mass Hall the past few years.)
Stanford seems to be doing an excellent job of supporting the sciences while reaffirming the importance of the humanities, and this move is another shot across Harvard's bow…..
In Cambridge, such grants are currently unlikely because of the deficit spending initiated under Larry Summers and Bill Kirby. FAS, whose deficits are approaching $100 million a year, with no capital campaign imminent, probably can't afford to spend, what, $30-35 million a year on such a plan?
Correction: As several of you have pointed out, my math is shaky; a more accurate figure would be perhaps $3 million.
12/29/2006 6:11 pm
More like $1.5M, Richard, at c. 300 x $5000.
12/29/2006 6:53 pm
Etchemendy shines again.
12/30/2006 1:53 am
Yes, apologiesâI was using a figure of 600-700, the total FAS rather than just the humanists, and I added a zero.
12/30/2006 3:21 pm
What's up humanist, can't do math?
12/30/2006 9:23 pm
But Harvard still pays more…
12/30/2006 11:35 pm
The last comment is vintage Harvard degrading VERITAS.
It is true that Professors and earn more on average at Harvard (168.7 at Harvard vs 156.2 at Stanford) but this is not true of Associate Professors (97.1 at Harvard bs. 106.1 at Stanford). Assistant Professors average annnual income is very similar (87.3 at Harvard vs. 86.9 at Stanford, the extra $20 a month after taxes doesn't buy much greater quality of life in Cambridge). But the real story is the average income of 65.2 of instructors, of which Harvard has a much larger share. On top, a significant proportion of those in Cambridge are women and minorities.
Why is it so hard for some in Cantabrigia to stick to the truth? Bad habits die slowly.
12/30/2006 11:51 pm
In addition, under Etchemendy Stanford has increased the representation of faculty of color. Faculty Senate at Stanford receive annual reports of progress regarding increases in the diversity of the faculty.
Of the 1770 faculty members at Harvard 12% are Asian, 3% are African American and 3% are Hispanic. The number of faculty of color has increased during the last decade, from 122 to 206 for Asian faculty, 39 to 46 for African American and 35 t o46 for Hispanics. The last year alone Stanford hired 5 African American faculty, 19 Asian faculty, 2 Hispanics and 55 white faculty. Faculty of color represented a third of all new faculty hires. More than 29% (24 out of 82) new.
Perhaps it is not just humanists who should go West. Harvard administrators might learn a thing or two from Stanford about recruiting a faculty that better represents the nation.
12/30/2006 11:52 pm
Its 1770 faculty members at Stannford, not Harvard.
12/31/2006 12:09 am
It's 2117 faculty at Harvard of which 430 are lecturers and instructors and 210 are 'other faculty' –non ladder faculty.
12/31/2006 12:17 am
The lack of faculty diversity, particularly at research Universities, is a national problem. Arguably more serious at Harvard.
Nationally, women account for 36 percent of full-time faculty compared to 23 percent in the early 1970s. But at research universities women constitute only 25 percent of the full-time faculty versus 10 percent in 1970. Faculty of color remain a very small part of the professoriate, 17% in 1997 vs. 5% in 1975. Most of the growth in minority participation has been by Asian Americans, from 2.2 percent in 1975 to 4.5 percent in 1997. The percentage of African-American faculty members at all levels has been remarkably stagnant–4.4 percent in 1975 and 5 percent in 1997–and almost half of all black faculty teach at historically black colleges. The increase in Hispanic faculty has also been slow: from 1.4 percent in 1975 to 2.8 percent in 1997.

This day is dragging!
I work on a military base and most of the soldiers are away training in California so work is super slow.
I'm ready for this weekend tho :)
Oh btw do you ladies know if Progesterone Gel can cause your period to be delayed? I've heard that if you get a BFN you should stop the Progesterone Gel then your period should start within a few days.
I'm most likely going to test on Monday I will be 15DPO (CD29) my expected period was today.
Re: This day is dragging!
RX level gel should def delay your AF. If you don't see a BFP Monday it would be safe to stop IMO.
Sorry work is so slow!
Re: This day is dragging!
Okay yeah I figured it was possible to delay it, I didn't take it today. I think I'm going to just stop it for a few days until I test on Monday.
Re: This day is dragging!
No no no no!!!!! You are on that gel for a reason. You need to take it until at least the end of 14dpo unless directed by your doctor otherwise. If you stop it now you are radically dropping your progesterone level in your body which, if there is an embryo trying to take hold, would result in a technical miscarriage.
You're only 12 dpo, well within the expected BFN range.
And if your doc said "take until you see a negative" take that to mean until 14dpo with a 15dpo bfn. By then you defo should see a positive if you are in fact pregnant. Right now you are still early.
Re: This day is dragging!
:ditto: Ashley - I'd keep taking it until at least 15 DPO - gotta give those embies a good shot at sticking!
Re: This day is dragging!
Hope the day has passed by faster for you!! I am so ready to get out of here for the weekend!
Re: This day is dragging!
Darnit, Okay I will take it when I get home, I didn't realize that's what the beans needs in order to stick.
I feel like an idiot because I missed like 3 days since using it....CD19, 20, & 24 :(

This product is NOT cardstock weight and the product nor the website specifies the weight of the paper, which is paper thin and worthless for card making. I will use the envelopes. But the "cards" are worthless except as scrap.
I order these cards and envelopes - they are a great size - sometimes I cut them down a bit to make the area smaller - the only problem I have with these cards is that I have to re-crease every one so they fold correctly. The quality is ok -- but since I am covering the area with paper and stamping they serve the purpose.
The "cardstock, is basically copy paper. I'm so disappointed. I bought the exact same product in "kraft" and it was much thicker. Not cardstock, but thicker than the white.
Description said "HEAVY" card stock, but they are not very heavy, pretty thin. Not the quality I was hoping for.
these are most useful and a good value for making cards

Complaint Review: Duluth Dodge
- Duluth Dodge
4577 Miller Trunk Highway
Duluth, Minnesota
- Phone: 888-6080584
- Web:
- Category: Auto Dealer Repairs
Duluth Dodge Beware of service center charges. Would have over charged. Duluth Minnesota
*Consumer Comment: ok
The first incident happened in October of 2008. Here is what happened. My girlfriends car had been mis-firing and I scanned the codes to see what was wrong. The reader through a code which prompted me to have the emission control pump replaced. When I called the dealership where she bought the car (none to my surprise) they had went out of business (Houston Dodge, Pine River---that's a whole other story). I started looking around Duluth (where we are both currently going to school) and found Duluth Dodge, Mitsubishi, Suzuki. 1st mistake.... Duluth Dodge charges $109.00 per hour for labor, un-benounced to me, Superior Chrysler only charges $80.00 (now I know). Anyway, took it in and the next day we get a phone call saying "we found out whats wrong with the car, total is $2,825...." I said I hope you didn't fix it and they hadn't, I said "so what's wrong with it?" "Well, it needs four tires, ball-joints, tie rod ends, spark plug wires, spark plugs, 4 wheel alignment,both axles, brake pads and the evaporative emission's pump has a crack in it. Wow, I really have to say thanks for the information but lets fix whats wrong with the car, that I don't want to do,,,,, the evaporative emission pump, installed, $285.00. So I payed them to replace the pump, I did the brakes, plugs and wires. Took it to Tires Plus, guess what?? NO BAD tie-rods, ball joints, axles etc, obviously the tires were shot and needed to be replaced, and FYI, if your going to spend $300-600 on tires, spend the extra $60 and get AN ALIGNMENT!!!
Round two ding ding. Last week my girlfriend says the cars mis-firing again. Oh boy... Code comes out for Camshaft Position Sensor... Part is $60 at any parts store, and this is the only time I've found that a part was cheaper every Dodge dealership except, Duluth Dodge. Every other dealership in a 100 mile radius get $56 for this part, Duluth Dodge, $76.00. So again I took the car and for their peace of mind let them do the scan themselves.
Less than an hour after we left, I received a phone call. We scanned the car, it has a bad Camshaft sensor, total is $361.00. This is where they got snakey and remember they were talking to my girlfriend who is (sorry babe) not to car savvy. "Fix it" I hear her say, I interrupted, "How much?" She says "361.00" wo, wo wo wo..... Let's give someone else a call. I called NAPA and they said $107.50 installed out the door. But, I understand dealerships are dealerships and they charge more because they may (or may not) have more well trained technicians who see the same cars, day after day, after day after day and furthermore, they have OE parts, which are hopefully higher quality. So just to check, I called three Dodge dealerships, Superior Chrysler center-parts-labor-diagnostic scan and tax $153.00. SONJU -$178 OUT THE DOOR and my favorite Tanner motors in Brainerd... $123.00 OUT THE DOOR.
So I called back Duluth Dodge, maintained my composure, and asked for a breakdown of the charges. First error on their behalf, of the $361, $109 was for the diagnostic scan which should have been waived because we were planning on having the car fixed their. So it should have been said, when they called, $273, fixed and out the door or $109 for the Di-scan. Second mistake, $173 for labor hummm last time I checked, there was no way that 109X.7 equaled more than $109. So what were they charging the extra money for?? That was like pulling teeth, first I got disconnected, then lost on hold, then the guy wasn't there etc. Finally got him back on the phone and he says that the mechanic found some (rough looking) wires. Smells fishy... I told them thanks but no thanks I'll pay the $109 and we'll pick the car up later. Not 15 minutes later they call back saying the mechanic looked over the wires and found that a new sensor could safely be installed and the wires would be fine. I called Dodge headquarters and filed a complaint about the dealership for trying to scam...
So, we arrive to pickup the car I again mystify myself at my ability to stay calm. He brings out the technician who says quote "I've seen a hundred Neon's come in and they all have the same problem, the wires (for the Camshaft Pos. Sensor) rub on the back of the head until they short out and cause the Camshaft Sensor to fail." My immediate reply "Is there a recall?" "No, recalls are only issued if safety is a factor" My question to anyone reading this, if your car stalls in the middle of an intersection, is it a safety issue??? If your have a leaking fuel line that finds the short, is that a safety issue???
Wish I had more time, but this has basically become a rant so I'll cut it off, I will be filing another Rip Off Report against Dodge corporation later. No time now.

Degen out for four weeks
Philipp Degen will be out of action for four weeks after injuring his foot against Tottenham.
By Richard Bailey
Last Updated: 14/11/08 3:52pm
Liverpool defender Philipp Degen will be out of action for up to four weeks after sustaining a foot injury against Tottenham in the Carling Cup.
The 24-year-old suffered a metatarsal injury during the 4-2 defeat to Spurs and was replaced by 20-year-old Stephen Darby.
This is the latest in a long line of injuries for the defender since he joined the club in July 2008, restricting him to just two first-team appearances.
The Swiss international's latest setback has given manager Rafa Benitez a dilemma. With Alvaro Arbeloa suspended for the weekend trip to Bolton the Liverpool boss may have to play Jamie Carragher or Darby at full-back.
The Liverpool boss has remained upbeat and is confident that Degen can return to action quickly.
He said: "It's a pity for Philipp because he hasn't had much luck with injuries so far, but hopefully he can come back from this problem quickly.
"It's always a problem when you have two players for a position and one of them gets injured, and even more of a problem when the other player is suspended for a game.
"But we have options within the squad and we'll have to decide what we want to do for the game at Bolton."
The only other absentee for the Reds trip to the Reebok is defender Martin Skrtel and Benitez feels the fact that he only has two injuries to deal with justifies the fact that he made 10 changes for the Carling Cup match.
He added: "A lot of players were rested for the game at Tottenham because they had been playing a lot of football, but they will be back this weekend.
"They have looked sharp in training and will benefit from having a week free of competitive football."

Elijah on fashion: "It's inspired by a girl I went to middle school with who f**ked both her uncle and her step-dad. It's called power clashing."

The third investigated in 2013 dairy products were adulterated - CPS RT
Last year in Tatarstan laboratory investigated about 60 thousand samples of food products for compliance with hygienic standards. This was reported, speaking today at the Board of Management of the Federal service for supervision of consumer rights protection and human wellbeing, the Commissioner Marina Patatina.She noted the positive dynamics of the decrease microbial contamination of food products and food raw materials in Tatarstan to 4.3 percent. This indicator in the Republic for the first time in 7 years has been below the national average.M Patatina expressed concern about some of sanitary-chemical indicators of food safety."A 2-fold increase in the detection of histamine in fish products, indicating a gross violation of the production, storage and transportation of the products," she said.According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor on RT, in the consumer market, more than 33 percent of the investigated dairy products were adulterated with vegetable fats without appropriate labelling for consumers."This sin unscrupulous businesses to reduce the cost of the finished product. In 85 percent of cases, non-dairy fats falsify butter. Such products are often imported from Ulyanovsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza and Samara regions", - said the speaker.The number of Tatarstan manufacturers, falsifying dairy products vegetable fats, compared with last year dropped 3 times.As assured by the speaker, in the last 3 years the Republican producers more than 2.5 times decreased the share of food products with chemical pollutants.The share of imported food products with chemical pollutants were 3 times higher than the same indicators of Tatarstan and other Russian manufacturers.Last year the management of treatment was seized around 30 tonnes of imported food products. Total management regulations withdrawn from circulation for about 120 tons of poor-quality and dangerous food products.Today, the security officers of the management company "Just milk" raided in the agro-industrial Park "Kazan" in order to make test purchases adulterated oil - counterfeit products under well-known brand.According to the head of the Department of production and control "Just milk" Yulia Tarasova, from buyers in the last 2 months of calls with complaints about the quality of the oil, which is a well-known brand. Employees of the company decided to look into this situation and to see whether someone is cheating the buyer, using the packaging of the famous brand.Today during the RAID 2 secret buyer made a purchase of butter in the 2 outlets of the object. Then the specialists of the company compared bought samples of the original.It turned out that the differences can be seen by the naked eye. First, on the forgery you don't see "GOST R". Secondly, the words "72,5% fat" on the product packaging is not where it should be. Marking is also different from the original: in the last used needle Markyate - on the packaging you can see the 6 points.The content is also different in appearance. Fake oil has a more heterogeneous bright yellow color with small spots and a softer texture. In addition, the price of oil low, which also must call the buyer suspicion."If the bundle contains our brand, this means that we guarantee the quality and responsible for product that is not produced. We must fight against fraud," said Yulia Tarasova.According to the company, this fake oil is sold in all the markets of the city. In order to avoid fraud, you need to buy oil in commercial networks Kazan, with whom the company works.The saleswoman that released oil, refused to show the invoices and certificate of conformity. She stated that she was not to blame, closed the hall and disappeared. This example was followed by all employees of the nearby pavilions, which sells dairy products. Protection and administration of the complex has banned the shooting and tried to impede the investigation.Arrived at the scene, the district Commissioner of the police Department, "Guards" to register the fact of detection of tampering. But it was not easy, because the saleswoman 1st point was closed in the toilet, but the saleswoman 2nd-hid oil. After much persuasion the clerk agreed to testify.Then in the office of the lawyer of the company was made a complaint to initiate a criminal case. Bought samples were withdrawn for transfer to the center of expertise. The results of the examination will show how harmful this oil.

Anthony "Hub" Hubbard, the head of the Joint FBI/NYPD Terrorism Task Force, is the man charged with keeping the city safe from an array of threats that seem to grow more terrifying with every headline. As an officer of the court, his job is the apprehension and prosecution of criminals. Elise Kraft is a CIA operative, now undercover, with important sources in the Arab-American community and ambiguous ties to the suspects. Her agenda, like that of her government's foreign policy, is more complex than Hub's. And yet these two are forced to work together, forging an uneasy alliance, as the incidents of terror threaten to paralyze the city under siege.
As Hub and Elise begin their efforts, the public's clamor for safety and the escalation of terrorist activities force the hand of the President of the United States, whose only recourse is to declare a State of Emergency and ask help from the military.

Evangelicals Less Likely to Divorce, Barna Survey Says
Evangelicals are less likely than the overall population to divorce, although one out of every four evangelicals who are or have been married nevertheless have gone through at least one divorce, according to a new study by The Barna Group. Baptist Press reports that Barna's telephone survey found that, among all U.S. adults who have been married, 33 percent have been divorced at least once. By comparison, 26 percent of evangelicals who have been married have been divorced. The poll did not ask evangelicals whether the divorce occurred before or after their salvation experience. George Barna commmented, "There no longer seems to be much of a stigma attached to divorce; it is now seen as an unavoidable rite of passage. Interviews with young adults suggest that they want their initial marriage to last, but are not particularly optimistic about that possibility."
Perkins: Evangelicals Facing New Issues
Baptist Press reports that conservative evangelical Christians continue to influence government policies, but they also are facing the challenge of responding to additional issues, pro-family leaders said in a National Press Club panel discussion. Speaking on whether religious conservatives have lost their clout, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said they have not. "Religious right and evangelical, social conservatives are having a pronounced impact on the shaping of the policy in this country," he said. "I think evangelical, Bible-believing Christians who are concerned about their community and their country have always had a broad perspective of the issues. It's just that the issues are changing, and [evangelicals] are working through trying to come up with responses to those issues," Perkins said. Those issues include the "value of life, immigration, poverty and justice, racial reconciliation, religious liberties, rebuilding the family, the environment and global warming," said Harry Jackson, chairman of the High Impact Leadership Coalition and senior pastor of Hope Christian Church.
Ethiopia Releases Suspected Instigator of Church Attacks
Compass Direct News reports that Ethiopian judicial authorities have released a prominent local official accused of instigating deadly church assaults that left one Christian dead and 17 wounded last month. Local Christians confirmed that Hussein Beriso, house speaker of the Nensebo District Council, has been released on bail by a court in southern Ethiopia's Oromo region. But 20 other Muslim suspects arrested over the machete attacks against two churches in Nensebo Chebi village on March 2 remain jailed, a local source said. Four of the culprits under arrest have reportedly confessed that they helped to kill Tula Mosisa, 45, and wound 17 others in the planned raids against the Kale Hiwot and Birhane Wongel Baptist churches in Nensebo Chebi. Local Christians insist that Beriso was personally involved in "buying and distributing machetes" for Muslims involved in the simultaneous attacks, which occurred during Sunday morning worship services in the two village churches.
Copeland, Dollar Fail to Meet Deadline
Two television ministries still are refusing to comply fully with a U.S. Senate committee's probe into their financial records, Baptist Press reports. Televangelists Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar failed to provide the requested information by the March 31 deadline, according to a written release from Sen. Charles Grassley, R.-Iowa, the minority leader on the Finance Committee. Sen. Max Baucus, D.-Mont., the committee's chairman, and Grassley had asked Copeland and Dollar, plus fellow televangelist Eddie Long, to submit the documentation they are seeking by the end of March. Long and three other televangelists have either complied, have begun doing so or have committed to fulfill the request, the written release from Grassley said. According to the release, Long will provide information April 15; Randy and Paula White have shipped their initial set of answers; Benny Hinn submitted a second collection of documents March 28; Joyce Meyer has fulfilled the request.

1. Carl Levin, chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, makes the call for further investigation of what happened with the IRS and Tea Party groups. That means it's now bipartisan.
2. Liberal pundits, too, have been blasting the IRS and calling for serious investigations (see Greg's earlier item). Ezra Klein makes a good point, however: while it's reprehensible if the IRS selectively went after conservative groups, in fact there's a good case that partisan political groups on both sides have been abusing the tax code.
3. Or, as Kenneth Vogel says, "Tea party 501(c)4s should take comfort in the IRS's utter incompetence when it comes to enforcing tax exempt laws."
4. Jed Lewison makes both these points — that a thorough investigation of what happened here is necessary and that the IRS should be cracking down on all political groups — and adds the point that the IRS Commissioner at the time was a George W. Bush holdover.
5. The many varieties of Republican obstruction, listed by Andrew Rosenthal. Probably incomplete, but a good start.
6. Immigration fallout continues, with Heritage study author Jason Richwine resigning from the think tank. Jonathan Chait has an excellent analysis of how the episode illustrates the Republican problem on immigration, and argues that this makes it even more likely a bill will pass.
7. Do we really have to pay attention to the Benghazi talking points? I still don't see why it matters whether even the "worst" accusations turn out to be true. Maybe I'm too immersed in Watergate, but I know what a real cover-up looks like, and the first requirement is, well, something to cover up. Oh well — I suppose it's useful to learn a bit more about how government works. For that, see Glenn Kessler's very plausible theory that bureaucratic infighting is what the talking points edits were really all about.
8. Aaron Blake notes that the Republicans are raising money off of Benghazi.
9. Best thing I've seen so far on Hillary Clinton and Benghazi is this one by Francis Wilkinson: "Benghazi was a tragedy. It may even have been a fiasco. But if Clinton runs for president, that won't be enough. By 2016, Benghazi must also be made a mystery."
10. And Jamison Foser combines those last two items to really nail it.
11. Fascinating interview with one of the winners of the Oregon Medicaid lottery, from Jordan Rau.
12. "The Coming GOP Civil War Over Climate Change," by Coral Davenport.
13, And a good look at the state of the Georgia Senate race from Ed Kilgore, who speculates about the possibility of the Peach State sending a woman to the Senate.

Nisargadatta said that there is the I AM and beyond that is the
Absolute. I got the impression that one is different from the
other. He said the I AM started all this mischief.(duality). Mary
Some use I AM to mean the Absolute or ultimate realization.
Some use I AM to mean the highest awareness or state of
consciousness prior ultimate realization. Some use I AM to
mean i-am-ness, being-ness, or knowing-ness, and -- even
like the I AM prior to ultimate awareness -- the basis to it
is bodily, whereas I AM in the sense of the Absolute is not
even bodily.
One can know gradations of meaning in all these terms: I AM,
i-am-ness, being-ness, knowing-ness, the Absolute. It's a
mix or match opportunity of which Nisargadatta took
advantage. This is spelled out in Robert Powell's
introductory note to The Ultimate Medicine As Prescribed by
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Overall, Nisargadatta did differentiate between I AM and the
Absoute. See the compilations
The Nisargadatta Song of I AM
The Nisargadatta Song of Beyond I AM
I hear this as the key line in the quote from Papaji:
"If you identify yourself with the immaculate, Unchanging,
screen itself, which is the same before, during and after
the show, you will not change and so you will not suffer the
changes but enjoy them"
This is key, because Papaji is not saying one will not be
moved by the changes; he is not saying that you will not be
thrown by one word a stranger utters; he is not saying you
must become a cool customer with a great haircut. By no
means. He is saying you will enjoy. This is very important.
I'm having so much fun with this song. Heaven.. I'm in Heaven... I
went to bed singing it inside, and I woke up singing it. As I sang it
all morning, it came in various voices. My favorite thus far is Arnold
Schwartzenegger (sp?) When we're dantzing cloze togedda, cheeck to
~~LOL...so funny wrinkled belly tired from heavin'.
JERRY to OH:
It's good to hear from you again. I'm singing Heaven I'm in
Heaven and making up the verses I don't know. Your verses
change, your chorus is always catchy and lifts me up.
~~You guys are such dolls. Music of the Dears! ,^)) This poem by Rumi
just came floatin' over to pile - thought of you:
Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world's harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
This singing is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl somewhere
on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach,
They derive
from a slow and powerful root
That we can't see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out."
(From The Essential Rumi, Barks)
I found an interesting article on the guru-disciple relationship here;
A very useful and clear article.
Thank you for sharing it.
I see projection going even farther.
The author considers the guru and
student as beings in their
own right, the ones who make
However, how is one to say where I
end and me as projection begins
or vice versa? We see evidence
of projection, but then we see
the "I" that sees this as projection
as well!
We have interacting projections,
but no way to say who the projector
is without making a projection in
the process.
Another note here: it's impossible
to communicate with words, gestures,
or touch without projection being
Hmm, no one to talk to then.
Nor no talker neither!
Better stop talking and start singing!
Big song and dance.
I'd say that the way to drop all thoughts is by
replacing them with just the one thought that doesn't
have to be dropped, the one thought that takes you
beyond the mind, the thought "I am". That's what
Nisargadatta advised again and again:
"Refuse all thoughts exept one: the thought "I am". The
mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and
perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are
quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and
quite naturally."
"Focus your mind on "I am", which is pure and simple
"Just stay in the thought and feeling "I am", focusing
"I am" firmly in your mind. All kinds of experience may
come to you - remain in the knowledge that all
perceivable is transient and only the "I am" endures."
"The "I am" is not a direction. It is the negation of
all direction."
"When you follow my advice and try to keep your mind on
the notion of "I am" only, you become fully aware of
your mind and its vagaries."
"Your dwelling on the fact "I am" will soon create
another chance [of self-realization]. All you know is
second-hand. Only "I am" is first-hand and needs no
proofs. Stay with it."
"The same mirror that shows you the world as it is,
will also show you your own face. The thought "I am" is
the polishing cloth. Use it."
"I am" is a tiny seed which will grow into a mighty
tree - quite naturally, without a trace of effort."
"Just keep in mind the feeling "I am", merge with it,
till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated
attempts, you will stumble on the right balance of
attention and affection, and your mind will be firmly
established in the thought-feeling "I am". "
"Relax and watch the "I am". Reality is just behind
"The door that locks you in is also the door that lets
you out. The "I am" is the door. Stay at it until it
opens. As a matter of fact it is open, only you are not
at it."
"Hold on to the sense "I am" to the exclusion of
everything else. It all comes spontaneously, you need
only hold on to the "I am". "
An interesting thought occurred (!) to me while reading this. Thoughts are in
themselves not a problem. It's the lack of attention to them while taking their
meaning for granted -- which is the problem. Replacing several thoughts with
one thought would not make sense otherwise. Give full attention to *any*
thought and it is all the same. An analogy is a bubble. A bubble floating in
the air (visible) is translucent and revelatory. But a bubble in a blood
vessel (hidden) is lethal.
also from MIGUEL-ANGEL:
What is it you are seeking?
If it is peace of mind, then yes, there are many paths.
But peace of mind has nothing to do with you. You are
not the mind.
If it is your real self, then how can you follow a path
to be what you are?
You can't help being what you are already, what you
always be.
Until the moment you discovered that the mind is no vehicle to bring truth,
you have been using the mind. That was right for you until that very
discovery. The same is true for people who are still using their mind, maybe
for the wrong things.
So someone comes along and says to those people : "You are using your mind
to to find truth, but the mind can not help you to find the truth" and so
on and so forth.
Some of them will immediately understand what you say, others won't. That's
a fact. Nothing works the same for everybody. That simply is not possible.
However clear it is to you what you are saying, a lot of people simply will
not understand it or even agree with it. And that is so because they are
what they are and that might not include the understanding of what you are
I am sure that your I AM proposition does not work for everybody. That is
simply not possible. A lot of people won't even begin doing it. (I am one of
them, it simply does not appeal to me) No problem. Reality includes
everything and that means literally everything, nothing excluded.
Thoughts are like clouds,
they come and they go.
Feelings are like waves,
they rise and they fall.
Whatever comes...this too
shall pass away, how?
Now is how...now is always how.
Breathing the Peace that you bring to me in and out.
In the present moment I am........
Emilie, who is grateful for your gift
Looking is sky and looking is
who you are. You can't not look. Look at thoughts, look at ideas, look
at theories, look at beliefs, look at truths, look at jokes, look at
wisdom, look at pleasures, look at pains, look at boredom. Looking is
_it_. Look at looking if you are interested in who you are. It is always
present, never bothered, always on top, just like sky.
One constructs dualities, then gets caught in the process
of defending one side of a duality (self, me, good,
life, enlightenment, right way) against the other
(other, you, bad, death, ignorance, wrong way).
There's no other way to resolve this except to see
*who* is constructing duality and *who* catches self
in dualities. Continually striving to see some truth,
have something come about in a certain way, only
perpetuates duality.
"Dropping thoughts" is an interesting subject line. Who is there to
drop thoughts? "I" am a thought, so "I" cannot drop thoughts. "I"
can really do nothing, bound as I am by my "I-ness."
It seems that something must be seen or understood, and thoughts will
just drop, without effort. Any effort is of course made by "me."
Sky is Heart.
By entering the cave one discovers ....
XAN quotes RAMANA:
"Everything is the Self. There is nothing but that. So the Heart
must be said to be the entire body of ourselves and of the entire universe,
conceived as 'I'. But to help the prastiser we have to indicate a definite
part of the Universe, or of the Body. So this Heart is pointed out as the
seat of the Self. But in truth we are everywhere, we are all that is and
there is nothing else."
MARCIA shares more she has read about "Idiots":
"The "Enlightened Idiot" corresponds with the "know-it-all" -
someone who thinks that they have it all figured out (and, in
fact, they may). It is an extremely difficult task to "descend way
back to Ordinary Idiot" (an Ordinary Idiot is like an unspoiled
child) - to give up that which makes him "special", all the accrued
knowledge, the thousand "insights", the associations that set him
apart from everyone else. Like asking Einstein to teach addition
and subtraction to a first grade class.
An "Idiot" is someone who is working on himself, yet his type
determines how his efforts manifest - how he can get stuck at a
given level/place - identified with a certain pattern of behavior."
when translating some of chief Tuiavi's lectures from
German into English I was reminded of how severe the "thinking-disease" has
become. Not to mention how many times I had to hear "mind" or "spirit"
often is associated with thinking... a common mistake made by those
unfamiliar with the basics of meditation. But probably it is easier to
teach pigeons reading than it is convincing people that the ongoing
thinking is not "normal" but a disease... Who does consciously know that
enjoying to the full and thinking are mutually exclusive?:)
GENE offers a new site.....below is only a snippet
of what can be read in its enirety at the site indicated:
_Solipsism_ from 'Ask Grandpa'
"Dear reader, do you really exist? Do I? What do we really know? Next
to nothing, that's for sure. However, I will pour balm on troubled
waters, because I have found a method in this specific wilderness.
There are other texts here in these Ask Grandpa pages working over
this territory, but I reckon I should write one extra under this
heading, to attract attention if for no other reason, because this
word, "solipsism", does attract attention, but for the wrong reasons
....... One is wise to resist the
temptation of 'change for the better'; the illusory allure of
'advancement' is the goad which is effective only for those who see
themselves as divorced from the essence.
Being willing to stand in place (abide) the buffeting winds of
apparent change; being willing to observe without reacting; these are
the hallmarks of one who is in place after the crowd has panicked and
fled to their sacred hidey-holes.
The vaunted and agonized ideals of the seeker, are the very bed of
coals over which the seeker turns, spitted upon misplaced ambition.
Basted by denial, and eventually served to the moon upon a bed of
crisp cosmic laughter, the best one can hope for in this case is a
generous 'tip'.
Hi, I will be your waitperson tonight... my name is

Eching/Kaufbeuren, Germany, October 8th, 2002 ? The CP304 CPU Board introduced by Kontron at the start of this year is now receiving legacy support with the advantage that the mouse and keyboard can be directly connected to the front via PS/2 and there is a standard floppy connection to simplify migration. On the CP304 Kontron uses the 82815-BO (GMCH) chip set together with the new communication I/O controller hub (CICH/8281OE) from Intel, enabling the company to achieve the required high integration on the single-height board. Kontron caters for the lack of Super I/O with legacy support by using an additional module to which the user can optionally add a CompactFlash, an HDD microdrive up to 1 GByte or a 2.5 inch HDD.
The CP304 goes even further than the other members of the 300 family towards fulfilling the customer demands for the most flexible selection possible for computing power and memory capacity. Consequently, the CP304 is fitted with a processor socket which supports the implementation of all Intel? Pentium? III processors in the FC-PGA and FC-PGA2 housings - from Celeron with 566 MHz and 128 KB L2 cache, through the Intel? Pentium? III with 256 KB to the latest Intel? Pentium? III-S processor with 512 KB. The synchronous DRAM memory (max. 512 MB) operates at 133 MHz and is accommodated in a SODIMM socket. The clock rate of 1.26 GHz will become established for availability over the long term, whereby the clock rate though will probably be developed up to 1.53 GHz.
But it is not just the high and flexible computing power which makes the CompactPCI computer an ideal candidate for integration into machine controllers. There is also the pronounced "communication capabilities" of the new product which are proven with two Ethernet channels, 2 USB connections, 2 COM interfaces and the VGA-CRT or DVI plug connection.
The single-height CP304 CompactPCI Computer with legacy support is available from October 2002.

"Hi. We're Saint Etienne. Sarah's written a song with Annie -- she toured with us a couple of years ago, you know. It's floaty and electronic, as you might expect, has a talky bit, and is the title track of our new film, This Is Tomorrow. We thought the best way to get this song out there is to press it as a limited edition 7 inch single, and then give away the 2000 copies with the Nov 2007 issue of The Illustrated Ape magazine. No, most of you will have never heard of that fine journal, nor have many ways to get a hold of it. What's your point? Mwah-hah-hah."

YES! I've been waiting for ages to hear this this. I really do love you! Unfortunately I can't send you any PSB posters :( I'll think of something.
BTW have you listened to "When I was Seventeen"? You probably have, but just in case here's a link to a youtube slideshow thing with the song on the background:
I think its very good.
Oooh, thanks! I hadn't heard "When I Was Seventeen," and I like it a lot -- a bit more substantial than the wispy "Tomorrow." But this is how you repay me? by pointing me to a Youtube clip that led to other Etienne films and alerted me to the fact that Birdie videos are also on Youtube, thereby making another hour of my life disappear? Jeez.
Well, now you've made me go and see the Birdie videos (and waste my time) too! :)
Only today I had the chance to listen to This is Tomorrow. I think I love it. Theres something about the new St. Etienne (post- Turnpike) that I really like. My only complaint about this is: Wheres Annie?
Is there any chance you could re-up this song please? I'd really appreciate it. Many thanks!

"No Distance Left To Run"
It's over
You don't need to tell me
I hope you're with someone who makes you
feel safe in your sleeping tonight
I won't kill myself, trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run
When you see me
Please turn your back and walk away
I don't want to see you
Cos i know the dreams that you keep is wearing me
When your coming down, think of me here
I got no distance left to run
It's over, I knew it would end this way
I hope you're with someone who makes you feel
That this life is the night
And it settles down, stays around
Spends more time with you
I got no distance left to run

LifeSpan TR 1200i Folding Treadmill Review
Getting in shape shouldn't come at the cost of affordability, durability or convenience and with the LifeSpan TR 1200i Folding Treadmill, you won't sacrifice any of those.
This treadmill is long lasting and comes with a lot of extra features to help you get started on a fitness journey or help you along the way of an already established one.
In the picture: LifeSpan TR 1200i Folding Treadmill
Pros of the LifeSpan TR 1200i Folding Treadmill
- Sturdy construction: Its sturdy all-steel frame can handle about 300 pounds.
- Easy to lift and lower: With the help of its hydrolic shock system supports the weight of the running area so it's easy to fold and unfold.
- Variety of pre-set workout programs: A great feature with this treadmill is that it comes already set for 17 different workout programs. This means that you'll never get bored or used to one particular workout. Using different workouts helps you avoid or overcome plateaus and stay on track. These 17 preset workouts are broken down into 20 segments that are purposefully created to help you get fit.
- Handlebar controls: One of the winning features with this treadmill is that the controls are located on the handlebars. This means that you won't have to break your stride whenever you're ready for a change of pace. Having the controls on the handlebars is a safety feature that's designed to protect users.
- Powerful motor: The machine has the durable 2.5 horsepower motor. Accompanied with 2.5 inch rollers, this is a machine that's built with an easy or a tough workout in mind.
- Ample running area: You won't have to worry about not having enough movement space, thanks to the wide 20 X 56 inch running area.
- Easy to read LC monitor: The LCD monitor keeps track of your heart rate during your workout as well as how long you worked out. It also shows speed, steps taken, distance traveled, incline level, and calories burned. And by using the My Zone feature, you'll ensure that your heart rate stays in the target zone, which increases the benefit that you can gain from exercising.
Cons of the LifeSpan TR 1200i Folding Treadmill
- Noisy: Some users have complained of noise while using the treadmill. This may not be the best treadmill for users over 200 pounds.
Worth the Money?
Overall, the LifeSpan TR has received top reviews by users and has some very impressive features. You'll be able to do various exercises with this model – including running, jogging or walking. And best of all, you can do it without having to pay an expensive gym bill or leave the convenience of home. However, this treadmill may not be the best choice for users who are either serious runners or those who weigh over 200 pounds.

chmod: changing permissions of `/usr../bin': Read-only file File System Issue
When I am trying to install oracle db 11g in linux as part of the installation I am running /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/root.sh
script and I am getting following issue
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: /usr/local/remote/packages/local/bin

How do I make this folder is writable? Now when I try this from root:
chmod 775 /usr/local/remote/packages/local/bin
chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/remote/packages/local/bin': Read-only file system
How to resolve this?
chmod -R 775 /usr/local/remote/packages/local/bin
thanks for the reply.
[root@abc03z ~]# ls -l /usr/local/remote/packages/local/

No I am not running from external device. I am running setup from /opt/oracledb-install/database/runInstall
The name '/usr/local/remote/packages/local/' is rather lame. But, what matters more, it resides on a read-only partition. You should ask your administrator to help.

The Executive Secretary of the Board made this known in Dutse on Tuesday at a news conference.
The Executive Secretary of the Board, Alhaji Salisu Zakar, made this known in Dutse on Tuesday at a news conference.
He said that the teams, consisting directors and their deputies, would visit primary and junior secondary schools in the state for three consecutive days.
He added that "the teams were dispatched to monitor resumption and take-off of schools for three days from the day of resumption.
"This to ensure that teachers and students resume on time for proper lessons in all our primary and junior schools across the state.''
He explained that the board would conduct headcount of students to ascertain the actual number of students "for real-time decisions and proper fund allocation and logistics to schools.''
The executive secretary said the board would continue to monitor the conduct of teachers and students to improve learning activities.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that schools in the state reopened on Jan. 9, after four weeks holiday.

Ive never seen an octopus do this. also, he seems to try and copy the exact shape of the star fish which is stuck on the side right next to him, and he seems to always stay next to it. anybody know what could be going on? alex
