With its 'normal' LCD TVs failing to grab the public's attention as much as Sharp would like, it really needs to fire our imagination with something a little different. Something, in fact, like the LC-46LE700E: a 46in TV that gives you direct LED backlighting without costing an arm and both legs.
This isn't Sharp's first LED model, however, as the manufacturer launched its XS1E series in 2008. But, as those TVs started at £9,000, the £1,600 LC-46LE700E can certainly claim to be Sharp's first affordable LED TV.
Its price looks pretty reasonable by any brand's standards: even price-conscious Samsung's 46in 46B7000 range is £100 or so more expensive. While pretty enough in its glossy black bezel, this 46-incher is nowhere near as slim as Samsung's trend-setting machines.
It has good reason for this: the TV uses direct lighting, where the LED arrays sit right behind the screen, rather than Samsung's edge-based system. Sharp's direct approach enables the LC-46LE700E to offer local dimming, where the arrays of lights behind the screen can be controlled individually.
This allows almost pitch black colours to sit alongside really bright white tones in a way that's not possible with standard single-lamp LCD backlights or edge-lit systems.
If you're wondering how this set can be so much cheaper than Sharp's XS1E models, there are two reasons. First, instead of using RGB dimming, the LC-46LE700 sticks with white – an option that might not deliver so rich a colour range, but which is much cheaper to make.
Second, the LC-46LE700E illuminates its pictures using far fewer separate LED arrays than the XS1E series, reducing the image's localised luminance accuracy.
Specs appeal
Other key specs include four HDMI inputs, a full HD resolution, a USB port able to play JPEG pictures and MP3 audio files, Brilliant Colour processing and, perhaps most important of all, 100Hz processing to keep a lid on judder and motion blur.
Unfortunately, this 100Hz engine isn't strong enough. Pictures are consistently undermined by motion smearing. This is surprising, given how well Sharp's 100Hz standard LCD TVs usually deal with motion, but it's undeniable here – especially when playing video games or watching sport.
Thankfully, this motion blur is pretty much the only negative thing we have to say about the 46LE700E's images – once you've recalibrated them away from the set's bizarrely dreadful picture presets, at least.
Colours, for instance, are phenomenally intense. It shows dark scenes, too, with only the faintest trace of the grey or blue mist that characterises so many standard LCD TVs – including Sharp's.
Hi-def images look extremely sharp and while standard-definition pictures suffer with a couple of over-aggressive colour tones, in general they're rescaled to the screen's full HD resolution quite nicely.
The LC-46LE700E's sound doesn't have the power or dynamic range to give the set's pictures the accompaniment they really deserve. But, despite the 46LE700E's minor imperfections, it enthusiastically illustrates just how potent a technology LED backlighting is.
It should also be enough to get Sharp back on the UK TV map.

How much knowledge on said game would you require for first time CoC pbp players?
I have zero experience with this particular rpg but always wanted to play.
Looking for one or two new players for an online Call of Cthulhu game, "Ghosts and Time". It is a slow-paced game for players with variable or restricted schedules. Check out the post in Campaign Invitations at http://www.penandpapergames.com/foru...ead.php?t=8840.
This game has been chugging along slowly for about four months now. Currently, I am looking for one or two more players, at least one of which should be interested in playing a character at or around the Institut for Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institu...alwissenschaft for historical notes).
As of now, there are two continuities in the game. The continuities have so far been separate but are very close to joining with one another. One continuity takes place in the Sindh region of India (contemporary Pakistan) under British rule at the site of the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro. The other takes place in Manhhattan. The year is 1924. You can view the existing continuities at ghostsandtimeindia1924.blogspot.com and ghostsandtimemanhattan1924.blogspot.com respectively.

I always say that the less experience you have in Call of Cthulhu, the better!
As long as you're experienced enough with rpgs that you know what a character sheet is - or as long as you're teachable - and you're willing to engage in a slow-paced, text-centered game, then you're invited to try it out.
Will i need to pick up a players manual, or is it easy enough where just good common sense may/will prevail? I've been playing rpgs since the '70's, but have never even picked up a rulebook on CoC. I'm just very interested due to all the great reviews ive read over the years.
I don't think you need to pick up any books. I plan on handling all the mechanical aspects of the game myself.
The idea (and this is one of the experimental parts) is to allow players to narrate their character's life in blog posts - as if writing a story - and for (at first) me and (later) other players to come in and interrupt that story with their own narratives, etc. So, it's really gonna be rules-lite - more like a call-and-response story-writing exercise than a tabletop game. I think that's a fair characterization.
But of course, you'll need to get a sense of how the rules actually work . . .
So, what you should do, I think, is go to the
website, and make sure you're down with the general concept that I'm laying out. Especially check out the "Information for Keepers and Players", "Guidance for Character Creation", and "To Begin Play" sections.
If all that looks good, drop me a line on my gmail account (email@example.com) and we'll go into more depth about the rules themselves, and we can talk character concepts, too. It's actually a super-easy rules system. The skills are percentile based, combat is percentile based. There's hit points and stats ala old skool D&D. And there's a wonderful little thing called sanity loss. You'll get your head around it quickly, I promise.
It's also kind of broken - as in the rules are clunky. But that's why I love it - cuz, there's so much room for narrative play.
Looking forward to getting in touch.
For players new to the game, I found this "quickstart" rules set published by Chaosium.
So there y'all go - the rules.
It's actually a very nice introduction to the game.
I would also be interested at giving this game a shot
How many times a week do we participate? Is this a daily participation game? I've never played pbp before and want to make sure my schedule allows my participation.
At this point though, it looks like may be playing. I'll email you when i can confirm.
Good to hear it, Thoth-Amon! - I'll be incommunicado until Sunday evening, but go right ahead and e-mail me.
Happy to have caught your eye. If you'd like to play, please give the website a thorough look-over and get in touch with me at my gmail address.
Iron Messiah,
If you're looking at this post: Hey man! I'll get in touch with you soon, and don't worry about chat rooms - this game will be conducted exclusively over blogs and websites. No IMs, no chat rooms.
To everyone:
Lots of folks want to play 1920s era characters. Since it is CoC, that's only natural. But this game will have some time-travel-like phenomena - so let me encourage you to consider playing characters from the Old West, the American colonial South, the British Raj in India, or some other era/setting combination.
sorry Thoth-Amon, forgot to answer your question in the last post reply.
There will be no required posts per week, because many of the players and myself will have variable schedules. Since PCs will initially be in isolated continuities, pacing will be set by the players. Obviously players who do not post/comment will get left behind - not-posting also offers other players little incentive to contact you, so there's that. Posting too much might also make it difficult for other players to keep up with you, and won't serve much purpose.
Thanks for sending the e-mail addy. You'll be receiving a notice shortly!
Ive emailed you so count me in. This looks to be fun.
Btw, i gave your pbp game a gaming plug: http://www.penandpapergames.com/foru...6171#post46171
This looks to be great,
Thanks for PM'ing me. I'd also be intersted, and have begun playing with the character sheet and its directions I found online (from a link on the Ghosts & time site--I don't remember the exact name).
Looking forward to playing with y'all!
I am happy to announce that my game can handle no more players beyond those who have already responded to my survey e-mail that I sent out last Friday.
Cheers, and thank you all for checking Ghosts & Time out!
- Danny

QUESTION: What are the perceptions of women living with ovarian cancer?
Qualitative study.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
18 women (age range 35–73 y) with ovarian cancer were identified through 2 major cancer centres and a local ovarian cancer support group.
Data were collected through 1 hour semistructured telephone interviews. Questions related to the effects of ovarian cancer on day to day living, major challenges, and sources of support. Interview data were transcribed verbatim and reviewed by the 3 authors, who identified themes arising from an inductively derived coding scheme.
Main findings
(1) Effect of cancer on day to day living. Cancer profoundly altered women's daily lives, resulting in the loss of usual activities, inability to work, and financial concerns arising because of uncertainty about future health needs and employment. Women struggled to integrate changes and experienced emotional distress as they realised that life was changed forever. The diagnosis of ovarian cancer had an impact on the family. Women described changing roles and fears for husbands. The marital relationship became strained as husbands adopted new roles and responsibilities to support their wives and maintain the household. Unspoken fears affected communication, and women worried about the effects of added stress on their husbands' health. Altered sexuality occurred because of treatment related physical changes, which created discomfort that compromised intimate relations. The purpose of sexual relations was altered, given changing prospects for future childbearing. Women expressed worries about children, had difficulties talking about cancer with them, and feared the increased risk of ovarian cancer in female children. Those with young children were particularly fearful for the future, whereas those with adult children found their care and support to be invaluable.
(2) Major challenges. Living with uncertainty was a challenge, and dismal survival statistics were a constant reminder of the uncertainty of the future. Women felt a lack of control over events in their lives, which led to a profound sense of sadness and fear that was difficult to share with others. They were concerned about becoming dependent on others and had a fear of the unknown, as they were acutely aware of the possibility of death. A second challenge was the stigma of cancer. Women sensed the discomfort of others and felt that people avoided them because they did not know how to be with a person with cancer. A third challenge was facing death. The late stage of disease at diagnosis meant that most women were aware of the potential for death when they were diagnosed. Thoughts of leaving young children and not being with them as they grew up were particularly difficult.
(3) Sources of support. Women described support from various sources. Extended family members provided emotional and practical support. Some women found that friends in the community, personal relationships, and the church community were especially helpful during the treatment phase.
Women living with ovarian cancer described radical changes in daily living and the effects on their families including changing roles and fears for husbands, altered sexuality, and worries about children. Major challenges were living with uncertainty, the stigma of cancer, and facing death. Sources of support included extended family, personal relationships, and church communities.
Howell et al report the findings of a qualitative study in 2 separate reports. The findings support existing literature on theoretical aspects of coping with threat, uncertainty, and chronicity.1 The authors indirectly refer to this scientific context, but do not explicitly place the findings of this study into such a framework. The common human responses the authors describe are consistent with the responses of people dealing with a chronic, life threatening illness.1
The authors used semistructured interviews, in which participants responded to specific questions without additional probing. The topics explored were clearly identified. Telephone interviews were appropriate because the authors determined there was no need to assess non-verbal behaviour to give cues for further questioning;2 this format also reduced inconvenience for participants. When researchers gather sensitive information, the anonymity of the telephone may facilitate collection of data.
18 women were interviewed to explore perceptions of living with ovarian cancer; 11 of these participants who had recurrences were interviewed to explore perceptions of cancer recurrence. This sample size is large for a qualitative study and would have resulted in a large amount of data for analysis. The authors presented fairly long quotations, although it is unclear whether these quotations represented responses from several participants or from one person.
The findings presented in these 2 reports can assist nurses by identifying themes to be addressed when caring for women with ovarian cancer. Participants reported that once they were diagnosed with a relapse, nurses treated them differently. In most cases, nurses realise that a relapse means that a patient cannot be cured and that treatment will be directed at control or palliation. Patients, on the other hand, usually still think in terms of cure. For nurses, this difference creates a dilemma. Nurses do not want to enter the physician's realm by clarifying the issue for the patient, and many are uncomfortable when confronted with the inevitability of a patient's death. Maintaining hope in patients requires that the "object" of hope change from "cure" to whatever a patient will hope for. This change in what is hoped for is reflected in the comments of participants in this study. By attending to these comments, nurses may gain insight into how they might communicate with patients in this situation.
Both reports clearly showed that having ovarian cancer affected every aspect of life. The diagnosis seemed to magnify areas of vulnerability, and women found they did not always have the resources to cope. Nursing interventions should prepare women to use their current means of coping and to expand coping skills. Nurses can help patients to reappraise their individual situations to better reflect reality. For example, for many women, ovarian cancer can best be regarded as a chronic illness that will extend over time, and which can, to some degree, be controlled. Through understanding predictable aspects of the disease and how to manage symptoms and side effects, women can gain an increased sense of personal control, which in turn may decrease distress. Nurses can also teach stress reduction techniques to help women control the anxiety that inevitably accompanies medical monitoring. Such techniques could also help in the management of pain, nausea, and other side effects of treatment.3 Nurses and patients can select specific outcomes collaboratively and work to achieve them by focusing on education, developing communication skills within the family, finding sources of personal and financial support, and rebuilding confidence and a sense of physical and emotional integrity.

Lardarius Webb just received a lucrative six-year contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens. Now he's out to prove the $50-million deal was a bargain.
âThere are plenty of things that I can do better,â Webb told The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday. âI can be an All-Pro. I can make the Pro Bowl. I can get nine (interceptions). There are a lot of things that I can do to improve my game. Money doesnât change what I want to be in life. I want to go to Canton. I want to be the best to ever play cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens.â
Lofty goals for the 26-year-old, who enjoyed the best season of his three-year career in 2011. He had five interceptions, didn't allow a touchdown pass, and was the only player in football to return both a punt and interception for a score. Fully recovered from the anterior cruciate ligament tear suffered in his rookie season, he's become a standout player on a premier secondary.
âLast year was Jimmy Smith and Cary Williamsâ first year playing,â Webb said. âI think the secondary changed completely. This year, theyâll be a year older and a year better. They can do nothing but get better. These guys are growing and understanding the game. Weâre getting used to playing next to each other. With me, Jimmy Smith, Cary Williams and then Bernard Pollard and Ed Reed, there are not five guys better. We have the best secondary in football.â
Reed and Ray Lewis represent the face of the Ravens' defense, but the unit has remained dominant for a long stretch because it continues to supplement its veteran core with finds like Webb, a third-round pick in the 2009 Draft.

Tech News: The AP's Twitter Handle Returns, Syrian Electronic Army Takes Credit for Hack
Plus,T-Mobile and MetroPCS are merging, iTunes turns 10, Google begins construction of its new campus, and Google Glass has a Japanese competitor.
The AP's Twitter Handle Returns, Missing a Majority of Its 2 Million Followers
Yesterday, the AP's Twitter account published a tweet that read, "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured." At the time of the hacking, the AP had 1,903,821 followers. The account was suspended until this morning. At 9:30 a.m., the number had decreased to 85,454. As of now, the account is up to 889,557, so it can be expected to make up many of the users who fled after the false tweet.
The Syrian Electronic Army, a group of young, pro-Syria hackers, has taken responsibility for the hacking. On its website, the group says of itself, "We are a group of enthusiastic Syrian youths who could not stay passive towards the massive distortion of facts about the recent uprising in Syria." The group also claims to have attacked websites belonging to the BBC, CBS News, NPR, Columbia University, Human Rights Watch, and the Twitter accounts of FIFA President Sepp Blatter (the head of world soccer), and FIFA's 2014 World Cup in Brazil Twitter account.
The big question: Is the group supported by Bashar al-Assad and his regime? The domain name of the group's website is registered with the Syrian Computer Society, which was headed by al-Assad in the 1990s. Tacit support seems to be evident.
T-Mobile and MetroPCS Will Merge on May 1
Following today's vote by MetroPCS (NYSE:PCS) shareholders, a long process of approvals has come to its conclusion, and the company will officially merge with T-Mobile, which is a fully-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom (PINK:DTEGY). The deal will unite the country's smallest nationwide carrier (T-Mobile, fourth largest carrier in US) with its largest regional carrier (MetroPCS, fifth largest carrier in US). The new company, which will be called T-Mobile USA, will have 42.5 million wireless customers.
Despite the name of the new company, and despite the fact that Deutsche Telekom is the company making the buyout offer, T-Mobile will become a part of the current MetroPCS. T-Mobile will keep MetroPCS as a brand of the company, and will also incorporate Metro's licensed spectrum into the ongoing overhaul of its nationwide network, with the end result being a very fast, high-capacity LTE network for competing against the big three, Verizon (NYSE:VZ), AT&T (NYSE:T), and Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S).
Apple's iTunes Turns 10 Years Old
This coming Sunday, April 28, 2013, Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) game-changing iTunes store will turn 10 years old. The digital store, which has heavily influenced online music and app stores and beyond, launched on April 28, 2003, with 200,000 songs available for download. Since then, Apple has sold more than 25 billion songs through iTunes.
The iTunes store now features a timeline called "A Decade of iTunes," allowing users to trace landmark events in the digital store's history and its huge growth. For example in 2006, iTunes sold its billionth song on February 23 and began offering movies on September 12. The top selling song of the year was "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter, with the highest selling album being How to Save a Life by The Fray.
Google Begins Construction of New Campus
Google (NADAQ:GOOG) has begun construction of its new 1.1 million square foot headquarters, just minutes away from the old one, in Mountain View, California. The 42-acre site, called Bay View, is a complex of nine buildings between three and five stories and with lots of windows letting in unprecedented amounts of sunlight into a tech workplace. Some of the buildings will feature roofs with turf, where employees can pitch a tent and sleep under the stars.
The nine buildings of the complex will be linked by raised pedestrian and bicycle bridges that cross over courtyards and restored salt marshes. Said David Bennett, the head of Google's Green Team Operations and Innovations, the new complex's primary goal is "to provide the healthiest environment possible."
Details on Google Glass' Japanese Rival
At an event held last night in New York City, Japanese entrepreneur Takahito Iguchi and his team touted two prototypes of a device called Telepathy One: It's the closest thing to a competitor that Google's controversial Glass has. The app that was shown to media is called Manga Camera, an already popular app that has been downloaded 6 million times in Japan. For smartphones, the app takes pictures and video and imposes Manga-style animation over them (for those who don't know, Manga is a distinctly Japanese style of comic books and animation). On the Telepathy One device, the headset does the Manga rendering in real time, making one's line of vision into a comic book.
Iguchi's venture, formed in January 2013, has eight people working on the device and is aiming for a release of Christmas 2013. At this point, this device poses little to no threat to Google Glass, which is beginning its first phase of public use with the Explorer Program. In the long run though, who knows?

TOKYO (AP) — Hundreds of pro-whaling Japanese officials, lawmakers and lobby group members vowed Tuesday to continue whale hunts despite a world court ruling that ordered the country to halt its Antarctic whaling program.
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi told the meeting that Japan must protect its whale-eating culture and secure sources of whale meat. Japan as a maritime nation "has a policy of harvesting and sustainably using the protein source from the ocean, and that is unshakable," Hayashi said.
Cutlets, sashimi, steak and other dishes made of whale meat were served at the gathering near Japan's parliament, attracting many participants.
"Whale!" they shouted together in a toast, pledging to continue their fight over the animal.
The International Court of Justice ordered Japan on March 31 to stop granting permits for its Antarctic whaling program, which allowed an annual catch of about 1,000 whales. The court rejected Japan's contention that the program was scientific, not commercial.
Japan announced it will cancel next season's Antarctic expedition after the ruling but hasn't decided whether to conduct two other programs — one along Japan's northern coast and another in the northern Pacific — both set to begin within weeks. Japan kills about 300 minke whales annually in those programs.
The court ruling technically leaves the door open for Japan to propose a redesigned scientific whaling program in the Antarctic, but any new plan would face intense scrutiny. Officials generally agree that the most likely scenario is for Japan to withdraw from the Antarctic and continue the remaining programs.
Japan's coastal whaling dates back to the 12th century, though its Antarctic expeditions began in the 1930s.
The research hunts started in 1987 following an international moratorium on commercial whaling. The whale meat is sold in Japan to help finance the program, but sales have fallen as whale meat became less popular, forcing sharp increases in government subsidies to keep the program afloat.
The Japanese fleet returned home in early April, ending the 2013-14 season with what may be its last Antarctic harvest: 251 minke whales, or just a quarter of its quota.

Why See Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows?
Mr Thomas and Me...
Two icons of late-90s rock head out on tour together this year as Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows take to the road to gig across the US in their "A Brief History Of Everything" Tour! Set to last almost three months, the tour will see the two bands share the limelight to play fans a selection of their greatest hits from their illustrious discographies.
Matchbox Twenty were a hit right from their very first album which was Diamond certified in the USA and multi-platinum in Australia, Canada and New Zealand! Formed in Florida in 1995, the band has been very lucky to see few line-up changes during their seventeen-year history.
Formed in San Francisco in the early 90s, it was Counting Crows' 1991 debut August and Everything After which shot them to fame. Overseen by uber-producer T-Bone Burnett, it featured the monster hit Mr Jones, which turned the band into a household name overnight. Its easy going blend of alternative rock with just a hint of country stood in sharp contrast to the Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins' releases of the same year, and helped cement their place in rock history.

Moving from Unconditionally Loving Yourself to Unconditionally Loving Others! (being Unselfish without bitterness & resentment)
October 13, 2008
If someone told you that you must be selfless and not selfish, they are wrong. If they tell you that you need to figure out and take care of all your needs first before you can be there for others; they are very close to being right. The actuality is finding a balance across time to be selfish and selfless. Sometimes you have to do what's right for yourself and sometimes without hesitation you do what you think is right for others. This is the place to be; the balance.
Here's my personal account…
It took me about two years from the time I decided to love myself unconditionally till I discovered how I could be truly selfless towards others. I saw this as a move from being selfish to selfless. I started by demanding that others love and accept me for who I was, just like what my mom would do for me. But most of all, I wanted this special someone to accept me as is, for my mistakes, my flaws and my foolishness; to love me for me and not for what I do or say.
With this big expectation that seemed quite easy for others, I was missing a big reality.
The chances of this happening the way I expected was not in my favor. I was battling time and patience.
~The Secret (movie)~
Around this period the inspirational movie – 'The Secret' made waves. But as much as it had its media and skeptic back lash, I found a value in the law of attraction i.e. 'Like attracts like'; the concept of compatibility.
I asked myself 'what was it that I wanted to attract?'
I wanted others to love me unconditionally just as I love myself. That's all.
Then it hit me…
In order to be loved and accepted by others unconditionally, I had to first love and accept them unconditionally, i.e. I had to be like them to attract them.
It was a tough thought to accept for the longest time. I didn't need to consciously apply this to my parents while I was younger; but I guess I always accepted them unconditionally without knowing. And now, to be compatible with this new breed of people, I had to become those qualities that I wanted from them. It seemed to follow the age old wisdom that 'I have to give love to get love in return' or 'Giving away something from your closet to make room for something new.'
~Unselfish Moral Obligations v/s Selfish Heart's Desire~
From the kind of society we come from and with the constant battles we fight within ourselves and outside, it is a bit difficult to be truly unselfish without understanding or taking help from any source. Even though we try to listen closely to our conscience, we confuse ourselves over moral obligations. Its very unfair that we argue ourselves over what we morally 'ought' to do versus what we desire to do. Some moral duties as taught to us by parents and society are the most heart breaking of them all. To make things worse, we sometimes hear disheartening and un-supportive statements from them when we divert away from our moral obligations. We silently punish ourselves by thinking how cruel and un-sacrificial we really are even though we did it in innocence for ourselves.
Here's a list of popular taunts from my hay days ;-):
You are self centered.
Its all about you.
All you think and care about is yourself.
You are selfish.
You always have vested interests.
You always want something.
Here's another list of what I secretly tell myself but I deny being it when others question me!
What am I going to get from this?
How am I going to gain if I help others?
What is in it for me?
What's the point if I get nothing in return?
These are just normal behaviors found in most people who have been trying to help themselves by unconditionally loving themselves. It sounds a bit superficial when I say it but unless they completely help themselves, they cannot help others. What can I offer you if I can't offer much to myself?
~finding that balance~
When I learned how to balance a bicycle, I've noticed that I fell at least once to the left and once to the right. It seemed natural to tip, twist & turn before balancing myself right. Only when I learned and realized the extremities of these 2 ends, that I slowly wavered to a center point decreasing my chances of error. This comes with practice, sheer determination and the understanding that I don't have to be perfect to appreciate my constant efforts.
I don't race against time, but I take my time. The same applies to finding a balance between selflessness and selfishness. As long as you are on the earth plane, you have to find a balance between the two. You cannot sustain being entirely selfless or selfish. Experience both extremities before finding what you like. In all cases, humans in general are naturally selfless most of the time as well as naturally confused about it ;). but as always you are the best judge to know what is a good balance for you.
Most people bounce between these two extremities (selfless and selfish).
As they confuse themselves over it, they tend to make life miserable for the ones they love but worse off, they make life miserable for themselves. If they can successfully understand what they are doing wrong, the only way is up!
~Unselfish with resentment aka Miss Doormat~
This is denial at its best. Miss Doormat is a person who loves to help but doesn't know how to stop and where to draw the line. She needs to learn to help herself instead; she needs to know 'when' to say 'No' and when to say 'Yes'. Without this, Miss Doormat is constantly denying herself the love and respect she deserves. I've seen my friends behave like doormats and it really upsets me to see them the way they are without seeking help. Worse off, they mostly get bad advice from very helpful friends who are clueless themselves.
~Selfishness with resentment/guilt~
When you recognize that you are selfish, you do so because you have the opposing desire to be what comes to you naturally; i.e. the act of being selfless. The only way to dissolve the guilt and resentment is to understand a certain reality. A reality that 'you cannot give what you do not have enough of', 'you cannot make others happy if you are unhappy' and that 'you cannot love others if you cannot love yourself first'. You will also be the best judge to know when you are ready for this selfless leap. Morality is just a road block to attaining high levels of spirituality i.e. your best possible you.
From Miss Doormat's point of view, she could be making efforts to say 'No' and help herself instead. Being in this new place, she may be confused with certain realities. She may be overly uncomfortable with being 'not nice' as she may see it. She may worry about what others think about her instead of what she thinks about herself. But putting others aside, if she recognizes herself to feel slightly good about being selfish, its a good thing, a time of self healing. Once she masters this state, she can progress to higher grounds of balance.
~Selfishness without resentment~
If you can be selfish without resentment without publicly denying it, it would be a good state to be in (on one condition). You would need to be truthful about it and make it clear to others that you are what you are i.e. self-centered. A bold statement like this is usually appreciated and well reciprocated. Either way, this stage is a definite stepping stone to finding a good balance. The best judge to know when you are ready to be a bit selfless is you.
~Un-Selfish without resentment~
People at this level are usually the spiritually evolved. I have a set of friends who I thought were like doormats but they never resented giving away what they had. In fact it didn't really affect them if someone walked away thinking that they took advantage of them. They seemed to do this consciously with absolutely no resentment. But as much as it bothered me initially, I realized that every action they performed was equal to the weathering of rocks. It may not be visible today, but overtime it will weather even the strongest and biggest of stone hearts. They are 'Time Surfers' and made time their friend. They understand death, concepts of re-incarnation and the afterlife. They are my teachers in this lifetime and I realize that my life on earth is a like being in school. I am still learning.
I hope this helps you as much as it helped it me during my time of need.
Love & Peace out!

Love & Sacrifice Misunderstood
May 16, 2008
~love just is~
Unless you are a therapist, a spiritualist or someone who has completely understood the way this world revolves, there is a good chance you believe that you have understood 'love' but lack ways to easily articulate it. I don't mean to down play you in any way but I wrote this especially to empower you with thoughts that have been around for generations and ways to explain what love truly is.
Many of us have associated ourselves with love but ever since our teen years we have misunderstood being 'in love' with the actual 'true love'. We can recognize this when we tell our boy-friends or girl-friends that we're 'in love' with them and when they are not around, we get upset; on occasions when they are with others, we compete for attention; and when they do something different from what we like, it troubles us. We even quantify love by saying 'I love you more than you love me'. While this seems very cute in its own way, there is a big difference between what we express in the relationship and what love really is.
~the real difference~
We have not understood 'love' the way it really is but have experienced something called 'in love'. 'In Love' is to receive love from the other person and is a dependence based relationship. In this relationship, we are attached to our own happiness but this happy feeling comes from another person's presence. This is more obvious when they are not around us. We miss them and feel low. In truth we only miss them for the love that they give to us. By being dependent or attached in a relationship this way, we are setting ourselves up for pain. We resist any attempt to remove this dependence or attachment and we know how hurtful it is when we don't get what we want from them (its an addiction). We innocently forget about what makes them happy and sometimes we act possessive taking away the space they need. Barely do we realize that these problems are within ourselves first; that we are deficit in some way and that their presence seems to complete us. These people that we depend on for happiness could be anyone, a boy or girlfriend, a best friend or even a role model. But while this may sound wrong or terrible, it really is not. In the real sense of the word, this is a stepping stone to understand how to be emotionally independent and how to truly love. Everyone walks this path.
~true love~
When we truly love someone, we only give love, not expect to receive any. We accept the person for who he or she is. This is the same as the unconditional love we talk about between a mother and her child. There is never a reason; we just love. When the time and person is right, we feel it deep within ourselves and nothing known physically to us can ever explain it. True love or unconditional love is unconditional acceptance of a person no matter what their actions dictate; but it does not mean unconditional acceptance of their actions; just the person. Please don't read only into that line, there is more. We know that people change and their actions evolve over time. We have faith in them because we see in them a 'them' that they themselves cannot see. It's just a matter of time before they figure themselves out through the many good and bad things they do; and trust me, they will consciously do almost every thing that today's society or you considers bad. However, Love, in a relationship, is accepting them for who they are while expecting them to be the best they can be for themselves; not for you. Loving them is never about you; its about them. When they want you to let go, let them go, let them grow; your part is done. If you are looking for someone to love you, just remember the quote by Gandhi, "Be the change you wish to see in the world" & like will attract like. When you learn to love unconditionally, only then you will easily attract another who will love you unconditionally.
~what love isn't!~
Love isn't detachment or attachment but a fine balance between the two and knowing when to do either. Love never has reasons; but reasons have love. Love isn't dependence but freedom to grow. Love isn't denial but acceptance of self and self emotions. Even hate is love; its someone who's upset because they didn't get the love they needed; they are just asking to be loved. Even Jealousy is love, someone wanting the source of love and happiness that you have.
However, due to haste, desperation or just bad sources of information, we remain confused and continue creating reasons for why we should love. Magazines, surveys or compatibility ads are main sources of our wealth of toxic information. Loving someone for a reason is not true love for the other person. Reasons are conditions which when satisfied makes us happy. It just shows that we are in love with that reason and not the person. When we love the reason or that condition, we indicate that we are loving ourselves instead and are trying to make 'ourselves' happy; not them. This is the same as making use of them to make us happy; but the reality is that we need to fill our own voids first before we can truly love someone else for who they are. It's even more scary when we choose to love for a reason and then over time those reasons vanish; and we'd find ourselves hating that same very person. We know this when we use words like, 'I loved the old you better'. But this is not the end of it all; it's just one of those jump starts we need.
~how do I learn to truly love someone?~
It's easier said than done. Learn to love yourself first without going outside for love. When you truly love yourself will you be able to truly love others. There are so many articles on-line that teach us to truly love ourselves. Here are two articles worth reading and two tracks worth listening to.
and finally India Arie with her track "Video" (You Tube)
and Whitney Houston with "The Greatest Love of All"
They all say one thing. We need to first accept ourselves for the way we are with all the flaws we have. No one is perfect, no one will ever be. Everyone starts from the bottom of the ladder to get to the top with respect to accepting themselves the way they are. Financially rich people face the same problems we do. Underneath all that perfection is always imperfection; behind all the glitz is misery that even money won't solve. We all walk the same path and help is always there. The best part is that you don't have to make any sacrifices in loving your self.
~on unconditional love and divorce in non violent relationships~
When we finally learn to love unconditionally, we are much more comfortable in our relationships and we easily accept our other halves as people who are struggling to understand themselves. When a need for a divorce occurs, it would be from their side as they battle to search for their source of true love. True love starts within ourselves and at home; but if a divorce helps, do what it takes to help yourself.
~What is sacrifice? Is it associated with giving up?~
Sacrifice truly means 'to make sacred'. By giving up something you really want, you are instead only hurting yourself; you are not making any relationship sacred! Even though you may give something up for someone, it is not sacrifice unless you are truly happy inside and without resentment. Anything short of this is truly superficial. Its only after you learn how to truly love yourself, making sacrifices becomes so much easier and accurate to its definition. Let me explain.
Sacrifice is never about giving up happiness but gaining even more happiness for yourself by making others happy. When you unconditionally love others, seeing them happy is what truly makes you happy. If they find happiness in what you have and you truly love them, giving it to them is really easy when you know that your happiness comes from within you and no where else. Sacrifices becomes very simple and no different than a side effect of true love. Sacrifice always originates from self when self is ready and should never be imposed or expected of you.
~when should I not sacrifice?~
When you don't want to!
The act of sacrifice has been glorified but it has lost its meaning over time and lately associated with giving up for a long term benefit. But there is never any long term benefit gained from performing it in guilt, greed or force. In most cases, follow your instinct; in some where it is confusing, its best to wait and let the passage of time convince you. Do whatever it takes to balance between keeping yourself happy and doing things to keep others happy. Wisdom doesn't necessarily come from the elders; but in some cases guilt surely does; don't let them ever guilt you or force you. Draw your boundaries and follow your heart. And for those who prefer to be associated with 'logic'; follow your mind!
~define love!~
Love is to accept unconditionally!
I love you = I accept you unconditionally!
It is a choice.
I am in love with you = Will you accept me unconditionally?
P.S. "I love you" is "I love you to make you happy" and not "I love you to make me happy";

I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick.
Drove down to the river to die alone.
Seven days, seven days till they found him all.
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
So we put him in the ground.
Down, Down, Down.
Your momma said "stay strong, don't cry."
So that is what you did.
Years later, years down later down the road.
On a bus with your FM Radio, half drunk, a cigarrette
Hangin out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Crying out.
What happened to your lonely soul? Screamin out.
You said try and lose.
You said try and lose.
Everything you've known.
Everything you've seen.
Everything you've loved.
Everything you've been
And everywhere you walk
Every Song you sing
Everytime you wake
It haunts you once again.
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home
Daddy ain't comin home
My Daddy ain't comin home.

It may be hard to believe now, but there was a time -- 16 months ago to be exact -- when Congress showed very little interest in Libya.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted along party lines, 232-186, to convene a select committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens. Republicans said creation of the panel was necessary for Congress to carry out its oversight role into how the attack happened and whether the Obama administration purposely obscured facts afterward.
But the new Benghazi probe is unlikely to tackle another topic that some argue is just as critical to understanding what went wrong in Libya _ Congress' own failure to call attention to the deteriorating security situation in that country in the months after the NATO-assisted toppling of its longtime leader, Moammar Gadhafi.
Even after Congress approved the U.S. military joining a NATO mission in May 2011 whose efforts contributed Gadhafi's fall and death, neither the House nor the Senate ever held a hearing about Libya and what the NATO-led effort had left behind. After four decades of living under Gadhafi, all with no real security force or order, Libya struggled to maintain security, its economy failed to recover and the weak government in Tripoli was powerless to fend off extremists who took control of the restive country.
Republicans were front and center in the failure to explore what was happening in Libya. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a harsh critic of the Obama administration over its handling of the Benghazi attacks, met with Stevens during a July 2012 visit to Libya, just two months before Stevens' death. A month earlier, unknown attackers in Benghazi had attempted to assassinate the British ambassador to Libya.
Yet McCain made no mention publicly of the deteriorating security situation _ the British had closed their consulate in Benghazi in response to the attack _ and instead issued a news release that effusively praised the progress Libya was making toward democracy.
Asked this week about his visit with Stevens, McCain said that the ambassador had discussed the security situation with him. Pressed for details, McCain said he could not remember the specifics of the conversation. Asked whether he brought any security concerns to the attention of his fellow members of Congress or officials at the State Department when he returned from Libya, McCain said he could not recall. A review of Senate records found nothing to indicate that he had.
McCain acknowledged he didn't probe. "I didn't ask him questions," he said. "It was part of the conversation. He said he relayed that information back to the State Department."
McCain is not alone. Prior to the Benghazi attack, Congress showed little interest in developments in Libya after the collapse of the Gadhafi government, even though the civil war there was fueled in no small part by the U.S. decision to back NATO's air campaign. The ramifications of that effort have had a far greater effect than many imagined when bombing began in Libya in March 2011.
Russia, which had joined the United States in supporting a U.N. resolution authorizing the use of force to protect civilians in Libya, later accused the West of exceeding the authority the U.N. had granted it when it helped topple Gadhafi. Moscow now cites the experience as one reason it has refused to be more cooperative on halting the violence in Syria.
The looting of the Gadhafi government's weapons stores is believed by many to have fueled the rise of al Qaida in northern Africa, where al Qaida-inspired terrorists nearly seized the country of Mali before French forces drove them back into the desert early last year. Libyan weapons are said to have helped the growth of al Qaida-linked groups in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Benghazi's airport now routinely receives passengers that officials there believe are bound for terrorist training camps set up in the countryside of eastern Libya.
Yet none of those developments have been the subject of congressional hearings in the more than two and a half years since Gadhafi fell.
The intelligence community "produced hundreds of analytic reports in the months preceding the Sept. 11-12, 2012, attacks, providing strategic warning that militias and terrorist and affiliated groups had the capability and intent to strike U.S. and Western facilities and personnel in Libya," according to a report by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that was released in January.
Yet the most outspoken proponents of U.S. intervention in Libya in 2011 were largely silent after the end of the NATO mission, even though some had called for no-fly zones, regime change and a heavy U.S. ground footprint in the post-Gadhafi period. For example, of all press releases issued between the 2011 intervention and the 2012 Benghazi attacks by McCain and his Republican ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, only two pertained to Libya.
The chairman of the new House select committee has a mixed record on Libya. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., voted for the resolution that allowed for U.S. intervention. But weeks later, he supported one intended to prevent the U.S. from providing the kind of military presence that some argue was needed to prevent Libya's post-Gadhafi decline into chaos. That resolution read in part: "The President has failed to provide Congress with a compelling rationale based upon U.S. national security interests for current US military activities regarding Libya."
Amid complaints that the Republican-inspired House investigation is aimed primarily at derailing the presidential aspirations of Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the Benghazi attack, members of Congress from both political parties offer various explanations for why they showed so little interest in Libya before the attack and so much interest now: They were consumed with other world problems, the administration did not give them the documents needed to conduct oversight, the job belonged to the Armed Services or Foreign Relations committees.
"I think there is plenty of blame to go around in terms of Congress disengaging and supporting the light footprint (in Libya after Gadhafi's fall), but there is only one commander in chief," Republican Graham said.
Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., a former member of the House Armed Services Committee who voted Thursday against appointing the select committee, and who also voted against authorizing the U.S. intervention in Libya in 2011, said that some member of Congress did ask questions about what was taking place in Libya in the months after Gadhafi fell, but that the issues were not pursued as aggressively as they should have been.
"There should always be more oversight by Congress, but most importantly there should have been funding" for security at U.S. diplomatic posts, Larson said. The committee was "looking at this, but not under the microscope and not under the political microscope."
But in Thursday's debate over whether to appoint the select committee, Congress' oversight responsibilities and the broader ramifications of the U.S. involvement in toppling Gadhafi didn't come up at all.Email: email@example.com; Twitter: @nancyayoussef

Life Exactly as It Is Lived
The Collected Stories
There are just two complaints one could make about the recently issued volume of Deborah Eisenberg's Collected Stories, and they seem to contradict one another. The first is that the tome, at just shy of a thousand pages, is as unwieldy as a small encyclopedia, which makes it difficult to carry around easily or read anywhere but at a desk. The second complaint—sheer churlishness on this reader's part—is simply that there aren't more of Eisenberg's vital, unsparing stories to read.
Over the past twenty-four years, Eisenberg has published four collections of short fiction—five, if you count the reissue, in 1997, of her first two collections in a single volume. Hers is a relatively frugal output—about half as much, say, as that of Alice Munro during the same period. In an era of general excess, such restraint is arguably as much cause for celebration as for dismay: there is, in Eisenberg's oeuvre, very little dross indeed. But in rereading these assembled stories, one feels the satisfying sense of a writer's gifts expanding and enriching over time, and the concomitant wish that we, her audience, might be privileged to experience still more of them. Given this, the book's title, The Collected Stories, is somewhat unsettling, and one trusts that it is provisional rather than definitive.
Perhaps in part because of the wide spacing of her publications, Eisenberg is celebrated highly but not as widely as she ought to be: hers are the laurels of the "writer's writer," the thrilled open secret of an avid following. But at her finest—and she is often at her finest—her stories rival any for their novelistic richness, for their delicate and exacting renditions of character, and for their Chekhovian patience and humor toward human frailty. Her characters are damaged and alienated, but the vivid lucidity of their experiences ensures their universality: her readers may not be runaways, recovering addicts, or desperate tourists in the lives of others, but those unable to find themselves in Eisenberg's precisely uneasy accounts should heed Baudelaire—"hypocrite lecteur, mon semblable, mon frère"—and read again.
There are no broad brushes in these narratives, and there's an absolute intolerance of falsification. Eisenberg's people live fully, each in his or her own small strangenesses. Most deliciously—a specialty of hers—in almost every story glimmer aperçus of witty human truth, brief Proustian pearls that return to you familiar experiences or thoughts with the sheen of wisdom upon them—as, for example, when Patty reflects, in "A Cautionary Tale," that "time is as adhesive as love, and that the more time you spend with someone the greater the likelihood of finding yourself with a permanent sort of thing to deal with that people casually refer to as 'friendship,' as if that were the end of the matter." Over the years, moreover, Eisenberg's range as a storyteller…

In the summer of 2005, we had a 21 day research cruise to the Costa Rica Upwelling Dome. The few times region has been studied for its phytoplankton ecology, it has been dominated by the cyanobacterium Synechococcus (see Saito et al., Limnology and Oceanography 2005). On this cruise, we surveyed the area for Synechococcus distributions and examined the influences of trace metals on the Synechococcus. In addition, we also examined trace metal distributions throughout the oxygen minimum zones of this area.

(RNN) - A university study of social media has produced the happiest and unhappiest cities and states in America.
The five unhappiest cities were Beaumont, TX, Albany, GA, Texas City, TX, Shreveport, LA, and Monroe, LA. Also making the list were Memphis, TN, Flint, MI, Montgomery, AL, and Dothan, AL.
The University of Vermont conducted a detailed investigation of correlations between real-time expressions of individuals made across the United States and a wide range of emotional, geographic, demographic, and health characteristics.
They combined a massive, geo-tagged data set comprising more than 80 million words generated during the course of several years on Twitter, and annually-surveyed characteristics of all 50 states and close to 400 urban populations.
According to the study, cities in the west are the most happy. The top five include Napa, CA, Longmont, CO, San Clemente, CA, Santa Fe, NM, and Santa Cruz, CA.

Or I could have quoted everyone else in the thread that went on about BJJ falling to McDojoism.
Wait a second, didn't I do that? Let's look at my post again,
We all know that BJJ, though excellent in the ring, does not function well in t3h str33t. I believe it will be displaced by more str33t-effective styles such as RBSD and SCARS, but that competitive fighters will still look for it so they don't have to use t3h d34dly moves in the ring.

"Fad" is exactly the word to use, because that is the question I am asking.
I'm particularly interested in hearing if anyone has avoided BJJ because they don't to be part of a fad.
2/11/2005 4:26pm, #16
Fad suggests that it will go away eventually. Not going to happen -- it's too effective as the ground supplement for stand-up arts that don't have the ****. It will drop in popularity, yes. But it's here to stay.Monkey Ninjas! Attack!
2/11/2005 4:27pm, #17
Not sure what you mean by fad but BJJ will be around for a long time. The UFC and Pride have proven you need ground skills and people will now always train in it.
2/11/2005 4:32pm, #18
Its popularity has been fading slowly but surely already in some parts.
This in itself is not a horrible thing, serious students will always stay with it and when it becomes less of a "fad" it may even attract serious students from other systems who don't wann be part of the whole "NHB" stigma.
So, IF it is a FAd, that is not a bad thing, if it isn't, its all good.
Personally, I would be on the watch for the next big thing in the MA :
Ethiopian Sumo
Jamaican Kenpo
Himalayian Pankration
Iranian Crop dusting

Parts of the BJJ culture are a fad: wearing tapout clothing, wearing rashguards to parties, doing the "hang loose" sign at photo-ops with famous guys, training BJJ for 3 months and going online to intimidate kuingfu veterans ("My instructor could kill you if he wanted") etc etc.
BJJ as a method of fighting is not a fad.

Neb. man killed while directing truck at co-op
Neb. man killed while directing truck at co-op
TALMAGE, Neb. —
A 69-year-old co-op worker died after a semitrailer truck backed into him at a southeast Nebraska grain elevator.
The Otoe County Sheriff's office told the Nebraska City News-Press that Roger Teten of Talmage was fatally wounded in the accident on Tuesday.
Chief Deputy Mike Holland says Teten was standing in a street to direct a truck into the grain elevator when a second truck driven by 72-year-old Dale Horstmann backed into him.
Holland says another truck driver tried to get Horstmann to stop before the accident by using his CB radio, but he was unsuccessful.
Teten died later at a Nebraska City hospital.

This modern Brienz Cube sink with beautifully finished stainless steel is a superior choice for a modern kitchen, outdoor entertainment area, or a laundry. It is hand-made from the thickest steel ensuring it is a heavy commercial grade and made to last. All the features you expect from sinks that are more than twice the price are standard with Brienz.
Premium Quality Double Bowl Sink
- This single sink is made from 1.5mm-thick sanitary grade 304 stainless steel
- Electro-polished satin finish for a brilliant look that will last and last.
- Double Bowl
- 835 x 505 x 225mm (L x W x D)
- Rounded corners providing sleek and contemporary design
- 90mm drain opening - Square strainer waste is included
- Sound padded (6X) to minimise noise
- Insulating undercoat layer to maintain water temperature and minimise damaging under-sink condensation
Can be undermounted or topmounted - Brilliant!
This innovative sink design allows either a simple topmount installation or a flush undermount installation. You can choose later as all fixing clips and cut-out templates for either method are included. See the product images to see both installation types.
Click on the icon below to view the printable PDF installation instructions sheet.
Superior construction
- Commercial grade - Unlike poorly constructed hand-made sinks that are only 0.8mm thick this Brienz Cube sink is 1.5mm thick and hand-made from 304 grade sanitary grade electropolished stainless steel.
- Sound-proofed - Sound pads on the underside of the sink prevent undue noise from water and pots and pans hitting steel. This tested method of sound-baffling is important in domestic households to allow functionality without undue noise.
- Insulated undercoat - an undercoat layer over the sound padding helps to properly maintain the temperature of the water in the sink. This undercoat also reduces water condensation that could lead to damage to your cabinetry. This is a difference you will not find with cheaper sinks.
- Hand made - Brienz sinks are not moulded - they are steel panels joined with the latest technology to make a sink that no moulding machine can make. The result is an industrial design with the desired 90 degree angles, deep geometric bowls, and perfect finish.
- Deep bowl - the deeper squarer commercial style bowl allows more water volume, and a more practical and functional sink for cleaning larger pots and getting busy in the sink. If you are an active home chef you need a hand-made square style-sink like this.
All Brienz sinks come backed by a 12 month manufacturers warranty effective from the time of delivery.

Quick Despatch
Unless otherwise stated, orders are typically despatched within one business day. If an order is made after hours or on non-business days it is deemed to be made on the next business day - so, for example, an order made on the weekend will be queued for despatch on the Monday, and is typically despatched that day or the following business day. Items that are ordered before 12noon (10am for New Zealand) on a business day, are usually despatched that same day.
Delivery Timeframes
Delivery timeframes are dependent on your location, which distribution centre we are sending from, the size and number of parcels, and the schedules of the carrier. Australia Post and Toll Ipec are our preferred carriers, although sometimes other carriers are utilised. In most cases the average delivery times we observe are:
|VIC Metro
|1 to 3 business days
|VIC Regional
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Metro
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Regional
|4 to 6 business days
|QLD Metro
|3 to 5 business days
|QLD Regional
|4 to 9 business days
|TAS, SA, WA and NT
|3 to 9 business days
These are average delivery times and we often observe shorter and longer timeframes. Renovator Store cannot control delivery timeframes and processes, and your first point of communication on a delivery is the carrier.
To see more detailed estimated delivery timeframes visit our Estimated Shipping Times page.
Your order might arrive in separate deliveries
An order might come in multiple parcels. Sometimes we might send your order in more than one package or from different distribution centres, and they may arrive at different times.
How can I track my order delivery?
In most cases you will be sent instructions by email on how to track your delivery once your order has been completed. In some cases tracking information is not available. If you are concerned about the progress of your delivery the fastest way to get information is to contact the carrier and quote the tracking number. We can only see the same tracking information available to you.
What if I am not at home to accept delivery?
Australia Post and Toll typically require a signature upon delivery and our nominated couriers typically deliver only during business hours. So it is best to provide a shipping address that will be attended during business hours. If someone is not available to accept the goods the standard practice is to leave a card informing you how to collect at your local Post Office or for re-delivery.
You can put a short note on your order on the order checkout screen to provide delivery instructions, however Renovator Store cannot guarantee the carrier will observe these requests.
We can deliver to an Australia Post Parcel Locker

Discriminating Solar vs. Ocean Forcing of Holocene Climate From Observations of 14C in the Ocean Mixed Layer
OCCI Project Funded: 2005
Proposed ResearchWhat are the primary questions you are trying to address with this research? (Or, if more appropriate, is there a hypothesis or theory that you are trying to prove or disprove?)
What processes act to amplify the Holocene climate response to possible solar forcing?
What is the significance of this research for others working in this field of inquiry and for the broader scientific community?
The signature of radiocarbon change in the surface ocean relative to the atmosphere should change depending on whether the forcing is from variability in solar irradiance or deep-ocean ventilation. Identifying these 14C signatures in the same sediments as Holocene climate shifts will provide evidence of potential climate forcing mechanisms.
What is the significance of this research for society?
Identifying the mechanisms responsible for causing abrupt climate fluctuations is critical to our ability to predict such changes in the future.
When and where will this investigation be conducted? (For instance, is this new fieldwork, or a new analysis of existing data?)
The investigation will involve new analyses of existing sediment cores from the Cariaco Basin.
What are the key tools or instruments needed to conduct this research?
We will use the brand-new scanning-XRF Facility at WHOI, and also conduct ultra-high resolution 14C dating (~10-yr temporal resolution) across several rapid climate shifts to identify D14C excursions in the ocean mixed-layer.
What are the greatest challenges - physical or intellectual - to conducting this investigation?
Resolving annual-scale laminations for counting will be critical to constructing high-quality floating varve chronologies.
Is this research part of a larger project or program?
This is part of a larger effort to provide accurate 14C calibration for marine records during the Holocene, as well as accurate calibration for marine and atmospheric records beyond the age of tree ring chronologies back to ~13 ka.
