A woman just left here upset because we wouldn't take back a used can of compressed air. She complained that it burned her nose and throat when she tried to clean her teeth with it. She then wanted to know if we could come out to her house and install a camera in her 15 year old stereo that doesn't work anymore. After rambling on about how she'd pay us to rake her yard she asked again if we'd take back the canned air that she used half of in an attempt to clean her teeth.

This is the first day I've felt compelled to come over here and comment directly to say: Please. Please, please, please tell me you're making these people up. I don't want to live on this earth anymore otherwise.

I guess I'm confused with two of the things you listed for problems
# Default categories are unintuitive - -Most- of it is pretty straightforward
# Can't search for exact item names
Because you can search for exact item names (if it's a green or blue item with "of the monkey" or types like that, just search for the base item, even with gems and stuff you can.
4 of the problems I agree with though
I find that Auctionator handles this problem quite well.
You search for "inferno ruby" and it first lists all search results that match that search. So you'll see "Inferno Ruby", "Delicate Inferno Ruby", "Bold Inferno Ruby", etc. Then you click which one you really wanted to search for. So if you only want the uncut gems, just click on plain "Inferno Ruby". It will then only list those gems, sorted in order of buyout price.
This feature is also useful if you're not sure what gem you want for a slot. Say you want a purple gem, just search for "demonseye". It will then list all available cuts of Demonseye in the first search. You can hover over each to see what bonuses come from each cut. It also lists the lowest price available at this point if you want to factor that into your gem purchase decision. Then just click the cut you want and you'll only see a list of prices for that specific cut.

I'd like to buy 3 Jasper for my JC daily, not a forceful, jagged, lightning, nimble, piercing, puissant, regal, sensei's, steady, or zen jasper.
personally, as it has been mentioned on this site numerous times, Auctionator is probably the best AH addon for the masses. It does most all of what we talk about here, it's very lightweight, and its minimalistic interface makes it easy to approach. If you are casual about the AH, this addon will make you 10x what you would have, and save you that much or more as well simply because of it's ability to search and sort the way you want to buy/sell - by price.
Try wading through the avalanche of Embersilk Cloth when you want just plain old Silk Cloth with the in-game AH menus. At this point in the expansion I am sometimes forced to click through 10-15+ pages before I can get to what I am looking for.
At least they are color coded. I can just keep hitting the button until I see some pink on the screen. :)

What is the moral lesson in "Great Expectations?"
I am having a hard time figuring that out. Can anyone help me?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The moral theme of "Great Expectations" is very basic. It is an old moral theme that has been around as long as man has walked on this earth. Pip, and the reader, learns that affection, loyalty, and conscience are more important than social advancement, wealth, and class. Charles Dickens creates this theme and the novel is based on Pip learning this very lesson. Pip spends the novel exploring ideas of ambition and self-improvement. Pip is an idealist and if he can think it up, and if it is better than what he has, he wants it. When he first sees Satis House, he decides he wants to be a wealthy gentleman; when he thinks of his immorality, he tries to be better; when he realizes that he cannot read, he longs to learn how. Pip's desire for self-improvement creates "great expectations" about his future.
There are many moral lessons in this novel. The main one is that wealth cannot bring happiness. and that appearances can misrepresent reality. When Pip visit the Satis House, everything contradicts what Pip's definition of rich. It is a worn-old house and sunshine never comes in the house. Estella has been raised to led an unhappy life, cruel and incapable of love. In later chapters, Pip will meet a convict, Magwitch. During that time, convicts are regard as being bad. However, Magwith turns out to be a compassionate man who works hard to give "expectations" to Pip in return for his kindness Pip shown when Pip give food to him many years ago.

The Lean Startup conference is underway and presentations are available on YouTube. As companies make shifts to agile and/or lean practices, they often run into barriers of culture because we often live in politicized work environments. Clusters of fiefdoms built to survive often warring against each other. The bureaucracy supports the status quo.
Public education is often a great case study for failure. We develop new mandates and policies but we dint really change the process. Everyone is frustrated, yet we can't seem to move forward. Thus it would appear to be an organization as resistant to change as any. Thus this talk https://www.youtube.com/embed/LBxJNFAILw8 about the MVP team and its ability to drive substantial change and improvement is not only inspiring on a level of if they can do it, so can we, but also because it is improving the value of our most precious assets.

Make a difference this new year with proteinResolving to eat better is on many people's list of New Year's resolutions. Whether your goal includes healthier eating overall or weight loss, protein may be a nutrient you need to think more about.
Adequate protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and can aid in weight loss by helping you feel full longer. Most people consume enough protein in their daily diets; however, in an effort to reduce calories, individuals with weight-loss goals may not be getting enough.
To make sure your protein intake is sufficient, focus on a variety of animal proteins—which contain all the essential amino acids—as well as plant proteins. Good protein sources include meats, poultry and fish; dry beans; peas; eggs; nuts and seeds; milk products; and some grains, vegetables and fruits.
New studies suggest having a moderate amount of high-quality protein at each meal is best versus eating a lot of protein in one sitting. Spacing protein throughout the day and moderately increasing protein intake above the recommended dietary allowance (46 grams for adult women and 56 grams for men) may help prevent an age-related decline in muscle mass.The power of protein powdersWhile protein supplements need not replace whole foods, they can be a healthful complement to a meal plan. They also can help you meet your protein needs at each meal, especially when you're on the go.
For an easy, on-the-go meal supplement that's packed with essential protein, add a scoop of Publix GreenWise Market Protein Powder to 6–8 fluid ounces of water, low fat milk or fruit juice for a smoothie.Sources: www.rd411.com, www.webmd.com, www.ajcn.org

X-Rated Flicks Pump Up the Passion
Guest blogger Karrine Steffans: Last week, I told you how to make his fantasies come to life. Now it's time to kick it up a notch.
I know
for some of you this will be the most difficult thing you've done since
the first (and possibly last) time you tried a bikini wax. But hold
tight, girlfriends, because what I'm about to tell you could possibly
save your relationship.
First stop, porn!
Everyone has fantasies. Maybe yours is simply a day away from the children or tripping your mother-in-law down the steps. For men, however, fantasies most likely include sex. Men need variety and for you to use your imagination ... but when all you do is talk about the kids or how tired and stressed you always are, you sort of disqualify yourself from having the starring role in his fantasy. And your replacement? "Sluts with Butts #73."
I know. You want to vomit just thinking about it.
But the solution to this obstacle is simple. Associate yourself with the fantasy!
1. Slip into bed naked with your mate or in a highly provocative, slightly slutty get-up and pop in "Sluts with Butts #73."
2. As he turns on, get him off.
3. No need to try and compete with Miss Pussy Willow on the screen. He'll never meet her and even if he did, she wouldn't want him. Your only competition is yourself.
4. To really turn it up, record yourself in the act and make a new set of porn for your hubby to enjoy starring the both of you. If for no other reason, he'll watch just to see how he performed!
Don't quit on me now, girls! There's so much more to learn and do in the final and third part of our Strippers and Porn series. Stay tuned!
Myra, Carrie, Krystin, you guys would be absolutely correct if we were in relationships with women. Men think differently.
I don't wanna be Pam Anderson but her "home porn tape" is still the best selling DVD in history. Karrine knows what men want.
Take the advice, augment it for your own life and keep it moving girls.
How could watching porn with your husband give you low self esteem? He's laying in your bed not Jenna Jamison's. Your the mother of his children not Mary Carey and believe me, he already knows where your stretch marks are. Get over it.
What's up with all the frigid married women in here? That's why you're on a forum looking for sex advice from OTHER frigid wives? Come on ladies…stop judging because I'm sure ALL of you have your skeletons…all your mistakes …seriously, go fix your OWN life and stop acting like you know what's up with HER life.
As far as advice for your marriage…i mean that's up to you what advice you take. You all should be grown enough to figure it out if you thought you were grown enough to get married.
Porn is GREAT! And I guarantee that your husbands look at it. If you really believe your husband is as frigid as you all are, you're all in denial. That's why prostitutes are still in business. It's not always about YOU!!!
Actually, if you follow Karrine's life and actually talk to her on Twitter.com, and not just listen to bitter, hateful women, you'd know that she's been married and is married now.
She doesn't talk too much about her personal life but if you also tune into her video blogs at Karrine.com, you can see it seems she's gonna be a mommy again. But she has never said anything about it, so I can't be sure.
Some people have an idea who her other half is but, like I said, she doesn't discuss her personal life and he's famous too so they just say a whole lot of nothing about it.
As for the advice, I think it's better to join in the fun rather than beat your man up about his fantasies. That's why so many men cheat and why the divorce rate is so high!
Karrine should know what married men want since she has been and is married and had been a mistress after her first marriage and, being a married man, I can only imagine what men tell their lovers on the side about their boring, fat, tired, missionary style wives.
Yuck! Who wants that!
These angry women are the ones who are being cheated on with a women as sexy, open minded, and vivacious as Karrine.
It's sad some men have to sneak around to do these sorts of things b/c their wives are callused ice queens with granny panties and hairy nipples. Women who don't work out or wax, women who have no idea what men really need. Women who think that just b/c they married a man, they know how to please him for the rest of their lives.
You women are so naive.
So many women have let themselves go and can't even see it! Atleast this woman is hot and seems to understand what men need! In return, she knows what women need to do for their men!
Either way, I agree with joining in instead of nagging your man. We hate nags and from the responses here, most of you women are definitely NAGS!
Honey, I wished I knew that my ex-husband was addicked to XXX movies, XXX magazines, printing tons of spread eagle women off the intern. He couldn't wait till I was out of the house to jack off like a monkey. I would have been doing this instead of going to my evil mother-in-law and her relative's houses. My holidays were ruined just by being near his relatives. When I wanted to be addicked to all this XXX stuff; instead of Wife-of-the-Year and Mother-of-the-Year; my ex-husband became violent. Guys want to be scum; but they won't let you. Screw that and their %^&$ing double standard. Porn addiction opened my eyes and made me realize why my marriage was garbage. A guy likes porn and strippers, because he doesn't want to look at your body. He actually can't stand the sight of your non-perfect body. He only wants to focus on those perfect 18-21 year old big breasted, tight booty actresses. He is fantasizing that he is doing those whores. That is why he will go out of his way to find XXX stores or open his wallet wide. That is why; he will lie, lie, lie. That is why; he tries so hard not to let you find out what he is doing. He knows that if you realize what he is all about; he will have to confront his mental illness. www.webmd.com has a good article on porn addiction and it is like cocaine addiction. They need more and more. Health insurance covers porn addiction. A guy who brings porn into the house or goes to strip joints, DOESN'T love or like you. He is using your holes.
LADIES, LADIES! This is absolutely the TRUTH what Karrine is saying. I have been married for 7 years. And my wife and I have come up with many different ways to spice our marriage and sex life. She was the one who came to me with the porn watching while we have sex. And I have to tell you. It is totally AWESOME!!!! At first I thought maybe it was some kind of scheme to make me confess I watch porn. But when I looked in her bag. I noticed lots of great porn. I was totally shocked and happy. I told my friends about it and they all confirmed I am the man. Their wives became lame and boring after marriage. Sex became an obligation and not a desire. They weren't to happy anymore. This is totally the best way to keep your man guessing, excited, and wanting to continue passion with you. It has worked great for me and my wife. My wife read this blog and is so looking forward to your new book Karrine! Thanks
LOL@ those of you offended and enraged by this advice. No wonder you're not getting regularly and thoroughly piped!
Superhead is crazy, she can't even keep a man and yet she continues to offer some sort of advice. Well, the chick needs to advise herself on the matter of keeping her mouth and her legs closed. She is a walking STD. She doesn't have money like she says she does, and on top of that, every man she sleeps with leaves her for another woman. She likes attention, even if it is bad attention. This heifer did all that damn sucking and still ended up homeless. No wonder men don't do anything for her, she is just a sideline hoe. Dudes just sleep with her to say they have hit it. I feel bad for her son. Poor child will be teased for ages. And Bow Wow is still here in Atlanta doing his thing and talking about her like she is some pissed on dirt!
Sounds like you just got an unhealthy man.
The majority of men enjoy porn and like to look at it, but aren't addicted to it.
There is nothing wrong with brining it into your bedroom.
Low self esteem will be your downfall. You will choose another unhealthy man, because your esteem is low.
TwitGuy, you are probably the reason the porn industry and strip clubs are still in business. You are probably unattractive, uneducated and insecure. You probably can't cook, do laundry, grocery shop, or clean. The place you live in is probably filthy. You probably have such severe character flaws; that you've never had a woman or a man. If someone can stand to be married to you; they deserve a purple heart or noble peace prize.
As a man, I have to say that Karrine is 100% right. That's all I will say to the piece itself. However, to you women who don't appreciate the information given, I have to wonder, WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU? Why do you want to get the man and not want to keep the man? Why do I end up with these kind of prudish and/or jealous women? If you want to keep me around, give me a better reason to stay other than what you've done. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY? And watch Food Network. Cooking is not buying fried chicken from Habibi and making mac and cheese. Then you wonder why I won't commit. WTF AM I COMMITTING TO?
Thanks Bow Wow Lady…I could not have said it any better myself!!! A Single woman (groupie) giving advice to married men, hilarious.
So many women thinking that the only connection they can have with a man is through sex. Men want it and we've been having successful marriaged before Karrine was even thought of. I am not here to bash her but I think she is not the right person to give marital advice on sex. She cant tell us how to keep a man and most women know that anytime a female will let a some man stick something in them for a quick feeling they will do it. They come back because they can, there is no promise of matrimony or even monogamy. I dont care whatshe does in her personal life but she cant tell me how to do my husband. Its more like THE NERVE OF HER that has women upset. She is not a threat to me and a lot of men wouldnt touch her but of course they may fantasize about a woman that would let them do any and everything to them. I feel that its pretty balsy to write about a topic that you nothing about. I think if she wrote a book about being a mistress it would receive less controversy but to write about keeping a man is rather interesting. Im waiting for the man to come forward and say that this is my "Wife" that would give her some grounds to speak.
What you women don't seem to understand. Is that this advice could save your marriage. The number reason why men don't commit to marriage is that we are afraid of a BAD MARRIAGE. And a bad marriage is the one where your wife turns into you mother. starts acting like her and looks like her. Now who the hell wants to stay married to that? I'm not saying work out everyday ladies. But damn don't become clone of my old nagging mom who isn't sexy.
Lolola, I do not have low self esteem. My self esteem is so high; because my eyes are open wide.
Yeah, Let him film you, Stupid, so when u divorce he get custody of yo kids !!!
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with bringing some spice to the bedroom. Yeah it may not be for everyone, and nobody should be forced to watch porn, but personally i think its a good way to add some variety.
Your husband is so embarrassed by you (if you even have a husband) that he doesn't want anyone to know that he's married to you…..yet YOU are trying to give some marriage advice? Let me give you some advice, love yourself, and your son and your 'husband' be a mom and a 'wife' OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT for a few years, THEN come back and try it again. It just might work.
I totally don't get how the 'woman' is always at fault. All the judgmental things you all have to say, are about how Karrine could be a woman who did this and that. Who the hell did she do it with? Is it her fault that your husband decided to cheat? While her agreeing to enter into such an encounter may have been a mistake, who hasn't made a mistake? I, myself am still working on sins from the year 2000. And I know many of you that judge could write a book or two yourselves. Just because Karrine laid her mess bare, she is never to grow? Never to change? Wow, you people are pieces of work! I am a married woman of 10 yrs with 4 kids, and I'm a size 4. Let me tell you, if you don't - someone will. Take the time to spice things up. I have never let myself go, love myself too much! Fantasies are something both sexes have. Don't kid yourself into thinking it wouldn't please him, it would! Enjoy a movie in moderation. Anything in excess is a sin. Karrine and anyone else can change! The fact that you all want advice means you need help in the first place. Name calling is just juvenille. We all had nicknames at one time or another, just because hers possibly symbolizes something YOUR hubby would like, something you aren't giving — Don't Hate!
Im just waiting patiently for her 15 minutes to be up cuz she keeps stretching it out but screwing some more celebs. What losers follow her?? if "superhead" is your role model maybe you should re-evalute your standards. GOD help us all
I dont know about YOUR husband Mdsteelergal but mine thinks that she has bugs and he doesn't want her he wouldn't even look at that vid with her and mr. marcus. He said he hate to see a man go down like that. He's still disgusted at her for putting her sons face in her first book. With that said this can be very useful advice for women who 'need' it. I just wish that Karrine would allow her actions to go along with her words. I mean she is trying to change her image…right? So why if she was a lil 'friendly' in her hay days, why would she blog about sex? Why? That's not changing your image…you only do that if you still want to make money off your past. She claims to have a husband and she wants to be a soccer mom and wife so she should go be that. Do some seminars on self esteem for younger girls or something. Stop writing tell alls and sex anythings! If you want to change your image, do something that doesn't have to deal with sex.

what it should have been
This scope didn't fit my gun so I just ordered 40mm that should fit then buy new gun for christmas that the 50mm will fit
Excellent value for the price. 50mm objective lens lets in plenty of light. Sight picture is bright and clear with a reasonable field of view at max magnification. I have purchased several Barska rifle scopes from The Sportsmans Guide over the last 10 years and have found them all to be accurate and durable. This is a work horse rifle scope that can¿t be beat for the price.

A new report says if and when Harrisburg gets out of debt, Lancaster will have the most per capita debt of any municipality in Pennsylvania. But Lancaster's mayor says that report is misleading.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, Lancaster was more than $220 million in debt in 2011. Divide that by the population of 59,000, and that works out to more than $3,700 of debt for every city resident.
"When you lump apples and oranges and grapefruits and potatoes together and you weigh it all and you say we have two pounds of grapefruits, well you don't. It's not that simple," Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray said.
Gray said one of those "fruits" is a $100 million water filtration system. But Gray said it is self-liquidating, which means it has no bearing on the city's overall debt.
"Sixty percent of the people that we supply water to don't even live in the city and included in their rates is the payment of any debt incurred," Gray said.
Gray said two other "fruits" are also self-liquidating. The need to improve funding of police and fire pensions and improvements to the sewer system.
If you take all those out of the mix, Gray said it lowers the debt to $863 a person.
"A budget last year that produced a $2 million surplus. We have $12 million in reserves," Gray said. "We're in excellent shape, excellent shape. We're nowhere near Act 47 or anything along those lines."

Ten years ago, when Jessica Plunkett was 10 years old, a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes changed her life forever.
But it wasn't Jessica who was diagnosed -- it was her brother, Daniel, then 7 years old. Still, the changes within the family, both large and small, affected Jess (as her family calls her) almost as much.
"It's amazing how much the disease completely changed my life in every way. It was the little things that bothered me the most. Danny was read a story first every night because of his testing schedule. At every restaurant meal, we stopped having bread delivered to the table -- but I still wanted bread!" she says.
From compromising at meals to facing the fear of a brother or sister being hurt by a deadly disease, the siblings of a child with type 1 diabetes face special circumstances. Recognizing and tending to their related needs are key to their well-being, as well as the health of the family as a whole.
As Kim Higgins, a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator with the Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation in San Francisco, points out, diabetes is a family disease. "It's very important to have the family on board with diabetes care," she says, "but it's also important to incorporate management without taking away from the other child."
Here are some tips that can help:
A family effort
Getting siblings involved in diabetes care meetings and gatherings like family diabetes camps as early as possible can help foster a feeling of togetherness that benefits all, Higgins says.
"Sibling relationships are the closest relationships a child will ever have. Friends come and go, but brothers and sisters are for life. It's important to involve siblings in any major event, and certainly having diabetes is a major event," she says.
Teaching siblings about the disease may also help them cope with their fears. And while they should not be responsible for treatment, let them know their input is welcome, she suggests.
"We gave Jess paper and a pen during meetings with the care team to soothe and include her, so that she felt involved and important to the process," says her mother, Laura Plunkett, author of a parenting book for families of children with diabetes. "Jess piped up with questions and wrote down the answers. To our surprise, in those first weeks, she often interrupted our adult conversations with really good suggestions and tips from the training sessions," Plunkett says.
"Most important, because Jess felt included and part of the team, she didn't resent the time and attention that Dan was getting. She understood the gravity of the situation, and that we all needed to be looking out for him," she says.
For her part, "I felt that I had contributed, and obviously my parents were very grateful, so it empowered me," Jess says.
Check in
Based on her experience, Jess says parents can try to encourage talking about feelings often, as hers did, to see how siblings are faring and nip potential problems in the bud.
"Remember the little things, like saying, 'Thank you,' or 'I love you,'" she suggests. "And just say, 'How are you feeling about the diabetes? Is there any way we can make this easier on you? Because we know it's hard on the whole family.'"
Make one-on-one time
While caring for a child with type 1 diabetes may take the lion's share of a parent's attention, particularly right after diagnosis, it's important to carve out special time for each child, Higgins says.
"My mom would take me away on vacation for a night or two so that we could be alone. Sometimes my dad would take me out for ice cream in the evening," Jess says.
"It's important for siblings to feel equal, that they're both loved unconditionally. For each child to have their own successes in life, we need to make sure as parents and as healthcare providers to really praise both the child and their siblings for any accomplishments," Higgins says.
In time, siblings may even come to realize that a brother's or sister's diabetes has had some positive effect on their own life.
"It definitely influenced my life in a wonderful way, because I am so much more aware of what to eat and how to take care of my health," Jess says.
The disease has also made her much closer to her brother than she might have been otherwise, she says. "We spend a lot more time together. We're best friends."

This game was originally created in 48 hours by a small group of people. I spent a little longer fixing a few things.
- X or UP to jump
- C or DOWN to use hat power
- NUMBERS or ASDFG to change hats
- LEFT and RIGHT to move
Part of the puzzle is figuring out what each hat does.
NOTE: You cannot kill enemies directly.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars March 25, 2010
I was really digging the self-made sound effects.
Good gameplay, but there's one thing I just can't stand. Spikes are deadly even if you only touch the sides. This prevented your 10/10 rating and earns a 9, which translates to a 4/5. Really amazing for a two day dev period though. Nice work!
Rated 4 / 5 stars March 4, 2010
needs more hats.
neat idea. sound effects were pretty funny. It felt like you could do more with it, but considering it was made within a 48 hour time limit it's pretty impressive.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 20, 2010
Good game
This game has a lot of potential. It would be fun to move the wizard around at the end and maybe have all the effects of the hats at once (High and long jump, all other effects with down).
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 20, 2010
kind of boring...
Rated 4 / 5 stars February 19, 2010
Did you make all the sound effects, or was that someone else's beatboxing? I understand the lack of polish is due to time constraints (self-imposed or for a contest? It would help to clarify) but taking a few minutes to borrow a tune or two from the NGAP or other public domain wouldn't hurt.
Interesting how the allure of the yellow hat works even when you're standing right in front of the guards.
"I hear whistling! That's way more important than this fellow with the schizophrenic headgear! Chaaaa*spikes*AAARGH!"
The sound effects where all original and done within the 48-hour time constraints. Yes, this was for a contest. The "Global Game Jam". Our group got extra points (The achievement was "the body electric" or something similar) for making all the sound effects with our bodies.

The Creator, The Feminine Goddess, and the Most Important of All Creation, THE MOTHER
As I sat on my back porch enjoying my morning coffee in the realization that the day was Mother's Day I prayed the Hail Mary as I knelled next to her at the foot of the cross. She was not the only Mother that was that ultimate example for us to follow and learn from, but was one of many. Maybe your own Mother has been an example for you. She is the creator, the ultimate creator, for it is the divine feminine energy that creates, that manifests, that caused creation after the command of the fiat "Let there be light!" or wholeness after the fiat "Be Thou Made Whole!"
Jesus preached a lot on the divine feminine and the importance of women however much of what he taught was purposely made vacant from the books of the bible. The Muslim faith also belittles women in it sacred texts however that is not the case in all faiths and in all sacred writings. Also interesting to note that Jesus' Mother is not the only reference to a virgin Mother.
Buddha's Mother
The woman who gave birth to Buddha Shakyamuni is called in the scriptures, Mahamaya, meaning Great Maya, or Mayadevi, the Goddess Maya. In Tibetan, she is called Gyutrulma. In English, she is generally called Queen Maya, a designation that obscures more than it reveals.
Maya is actually the Sanskrit term for Illusion in the sense of an interplay of Substance and Energy that contributes to our believing that there is something "there." (Substance itself can be variously analyzed or described. Buddhists refer to the skandhas or "heaps.") When our bodily organs of perception interact with the interplay, we usually call the product of the interaction, Reality. SoMahamaya actually means The Grandest Deception (or, Illusion) of all — that which convinces us of Existence.
In the traditional Indian view generally called Hinduism, the three combinants are "personified" as great goddesses. (The other two are Shakti, that is Activity, and Prakriti — Matter, or what we can call Nature.) There can be no life or existence without any of them, but we rely especially upon Maya. It is her conduct that makes the others perceptible, for without her we would have no access — we would not be able to read existence or, reality.
In the Hindu tradition, Maya is also understood as the maiden-aspect of the Indian Mother goddess, Kali. She is Mahakali. She is our mother in the sense of the Giver of Perception.
Un-deified, Maya is a "veil of illusion," or a wondrous display, a magical dance — a trick that employs distraction to keep us bound to samsara, the Wheel of Existences.
Maya is not a Trickster in the sense of an agent that purposely misleads or misguides. She is not Mara in disguise. Her majesty, ingenuity and intricacy generously permits us, or inspires us, to glimpse the possibility of "Enlightenment." It is our own failings that distract us from this objective.
Maya's name appears also in Greco-Roman (or, Classical) mythology. There was extensive commercial contact between India and the Mediterranean lands long before the time of Alexander of Macedon (ca. 350 BCE.) However, whether the Greek name had a different origin or not, is not as relevant as the fact that there, Maya or Maia was an earth goddess. Maia is usually explained as meaning Maker, for she is seen as the cause of the spring season when all that we have seen die away before winter now springs back to life. Therefore we have come to use her name to designate (in the northern hemisphere,) May, the month of flowers — the time of rebirth.
In the mythology of ancient Greece, Maia was once the youngest of the group of stars called the Pleiades (children of Pleione, another name for Aphrodite.) Atlas, their father, was a Titan who was punished for taking part in a revolt against the gods, and so was sentenced to bear the heavens [no, not the world] on his shoulders. Unable to bear their father's humiliation, Maia and her sisters fled to highest heaven and can be seen there as the group known as The Pleiades.
But wait. Maia is called Grandmother of Magic. Seduced by Zeus, she gave birth to Hermes, the Transformer — the one who is a Master of Disguise, a Trickster and the psycho-pomp (guide of souls to the land of the dead.) The planet Mercury is named for Hermes, and in Sanskrit the name is Budh.
The activity of the child, Hermes (Mercury, to the Romans) is reminiscent of the Indian god, Krishna. While still an infant, Hermes stole the cattle of the sun. From the shell of a tortoise, he created the lyre, and he also invented the flute from the hollow reeds of a marsh.
Barbara Walker (The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, 1986) points out some other associations. Under the entry Maya:
"Magic," title of the Virgin Kali as the creatress of earthly appearances, i.e., all things made of matter and perceptible to the senses. She also gave birth to the Enlightened One, Buddha.
The same Goddess, called Maia by the Greeks, was the virgin mother to Hermes the Enlightened One, who had as many reincarnations as the Buddha. Sometimes Maia's partner was Volcanus (Greek Hephaestus, the divine smith and fire-god). This was another mythic mating of male fire and female water. Hindus said Agni the fire-god was the consort of Kali-Maya, though he was periodically swallowed up and "quenched" by her. According to the Tantric phrase, the Goddess quenched a blazing lingam in her yoni.
As the virgin mother of Buddha, Maya embarrassed ascetic Buddhists and was soon written out of the script. Like ascetic Christians speaking of Christ's birth, some Buddhists claimed the Enlightened One could not touch his mother's "parts of shame" and so was born through an opening in her side. This mythic Caesarian section seems to have been bungled, for a few days later Maya died — "of joy," as Buddhist scriptures rather fatuously put it.
Nevertheless, Maya remained very much alive as one of Kali's most revered manifestations, because the very fact of "Existence"– the material cosmos-demanded her presence. As Zimmer analyzed her:
Maya-Shakti is personified as the world-protecting, feminine, maternal side of Ultimate Being, and as such, stands for spontaneous, loving acceptance of life's tangible reality . . . [S]he affirms, she is, she represents and enjoys, the delirium of the manifested forms . . . . Maya-Shakti is Eve, "the Eternal Feminine," das Ewig-Weibliche: she who ate, and tempted her consort to eat, and was herself the apple. From the point of view of the masculine principle of the Spirit (which is in quest of the enduring, eternally valid, and absolutely divine) she is the pre-eminent enigma.
In herself Maya embodies all three aspects of the maternal trinity. Her colors were white, red, and black, the colors of the Gunas, or the Virgin-Mother-Crone. Like every other form of Kali, she was Creator, Preserver, Destroyer. She was also a spirit dwelling perpetually in women. A Mahayana text says, "Of all the forms of Maya, woman is the most important."
Maya's son Buddha [Shakyamuni] was surrounded by her symbols. He entered his trance of meditation under her sacred fig tree, which protected him from the weather. On his return from the soul-journey, his first symbolic act was to accept a dish of curds from a maiden on Full Moon Day in the month of May, the greatest of Buddhist festivals.
Not only the month but many other traditions attest to the great age and wide distribution of the Goddess Maya. She was more than the Maia who mothered Hermes; she was also Maga the Grandmother- goddess who bore Cu Chulainn's mother; and the Mandaean Christian's Almaya, called "Eternity," or "the World," or "Beings"; and Maga or Maj the May-maiden in Scandinavia. Like the Hindu Maya who brought forth earthly appearances at creation, the Scandinavian one personified the pregnant womb of chaos before the beginning: Ginnungagap. In this the World-virgin was associated with the idea of magical illusion, creating "appearances" like her Hindu counterpart.
This universal Creatress-name may have reached the western hemisphere also. The Maya people of Yucatan offered sacrifices in the same way as in northern India, at the same seasons, determined by the same stars. Mayan "scorpion stars" were the same as the constellation Scorpio on Hindu and Greek charts. As in India, Mayan divine images were painted blue and Mayan women pierced the left nostril for insertion of a jewel. Another version of the Creatress seems to have been the Mother Goddess Mayauel of the Mexican Agave, called "Woman with Four Hundred Breasts," with a strong resemblance to the world-nurturing Many-Breasted Artemis and other eastern forms of the deity who mothered all the world's creatures.
[Walker's work is documented throughout. You can consult it at any public library.]
Our Mother
Maya is not only the Buddha's mother; she is our mother too. Without her, we would not be here. Without the world of appearances, we could not be born in the precious human body that affords us an opportunity to discern Her, and our own True Nature.

The Stepmother
Seven days after giving birth to the Buddha of our eon, Mayadevi died. Legend has it that was reborn as a deva in the Trayatrimsha Heaven ruled by Indra. Her sister, and likely co-wife,Mahaprajapati, raised the prince. One tradition holds that there were 32 nurses appointed to his care: eight to carry him around, eight to suckle him, eight to bathe and dress him, and another eight just to amuse him.

Roche still in gene sequencing market
Naomi Kresge

Roche Holding AG still wants to expand in gene sequencing after this year's failed effort to buy Illumina Inc. and is looking at potential deals, Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan said.
Illumina fell the most in a year Monday as investors doubted Roche would renew its interest in buying the world's biggest maker of DNA sequencing equipment. Illumina declined 6 percent to close at $48.07, the biggest drop since Oct. 7, 2011. The San Diego company's shares have gained 58 percent this year.
"Sequencing is certainly one of the business areas we are looking to invest in," Schwan said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday after Roche announced a 15 percent increase in third-quarter sales that beat analyst estimates. "We are looking for a variety of options to build this business both internally and externally." He declined to comment on "market rumors" of a new Illumina bid.
Buying Illumina would help Roche, the world's largest maker of cancer medicines, better tailor drugs to patients. Machines made by Illumina can provide a full transcript of a person's DNA, information used to diagnose rare disease, identify the risk for a genetic condition or match cancer treatments to patients' tumors.
Illumina fought off a $6.7 billion hostile takeover bid from Roche. Illumina Chief Executive Officer Jay Flatley called the $51-a-share offer "woefully inadequate" in an interview last month.
Speculation about a deal with Roche leaked in December, and Roche formally made its interest known a month later by publicly offering $44.50 a share after it said Illumina was "unwilling to participate in substantive discussions." After the Swiss drugmaker increased the offer in March, investors voted down its attempt to gain control of Illumina's board at an April 18 shareholder meeting.
Flatley said in a Sept. 17 interview with Bloomberg that the public offer from Roche stopped Illumina's board from discussing what price would be acceptable.

Men, Women and Children
by CycleChick on May 1, 2012
Well hello there. Long time no see. If you've been wondering where I've been (and even if you haven't), let me tell you: I have not been in Belgium watching bike races, or spending long, passionate days in the sack with Mario Cippolini. And I certainly wasn't – as was suggested by Michael from Portland – in Southern California doing the Stagecoach 400 (although I am flattered you think I am crazy enough to do it).
Where I have been, however, is almost as good. Maybe even gooder. Where I have mostly been is on my bike. Between training, racing, commuting and coaching Kids of Mud, I am spending almost as much time in the saddle these days as Thomas Voekler spends on his hair.After my impassioned appeal to women everywhere (or at least in my immediate vicinity) to get out there and race some bikes, it became apparent my motivational skills could use some work. Here are the gender statistics from Cat 4 of the first road race of the year, which happened mere days after my rally cry.
That's me in the red. It's a wonder even I showed up. The closest thing to a woman they had in Cat 3 was a guy with a ponytail named Perry.
While my efforts may have been ineffective on the fairer sex, I did manage to convince some of the equally fair yet opposite sex to come out and race. Maybe they thought there would be chicks there. Scott, Mark and I crammed into Ben's party van – pausing momentarily to fondle and admire his impressive rack.
Considering I wasn't in the GC and therefore ineligible for kisses from the podium girls, my plan was to ride to lose. Or rather, burn the shit out of my legs through a series of early attacks, fruitless bridging, and whatever long pulls I could muster – leaving me with absolutely nothing left by the end of the race. If this seems like a pathetically predictable excuse for a poor result, it totally is. But if there is any proof of the success of my plan, it is this:That's Scott soft-pedaling in after being part of a lead out train to the finish. Note his relaxed body position and pleasant smile. Behind him, it may look like I am smiling, but make no mistake, I am not. That expression on my face is total agony as every muscle in both legs cramp simultaneously. It's nice to see Stefan out with his camera again, catching these magical moments.
Moments before, the race had finished in dramatic fashion.That's 15 year-old Aaron Carter schooling us grown-ups in the art of bicycle racing. So at least half of the "women and children first" protocol was observed. I guess there weren't many sailors in the group.
So where did all the women go? I decided if they wouldn't come to me, I would go to them. A week after the race I signed up for a "Chicks Only" ride in celebration of Women's Ride Day. It's no secret how I feel about gender-segregated cycling events, but I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet and talk to other women who love to ride. Turns out there are plenty of us.
It was a very relaxed, no-drop ride and included women from all walks of life, each with their own experiences and stories to tell. Some had never ridden in a group before and it was great to share tips and offer encouragement as we rode together. I was especially thrilled to meet Julie, who walked up to me right at the start of the ride and informed me she had spent the last two weeks reading this blog from beginning to end (or end to beginning, as she explained). In spite of her terrible taste in literature, she was lovely and it felt like we were old friends.
If nothing else, the women's ride helped restore a sense of equilibrium – the gender pendulum swinging fully in the opposite direction, like so:James was our token sherpa man-stud, equipped to handle any mechanical misfortune we might encounter on our journey.
According to my random and completely inconclusive research, there are a number of reasons women don't seem to come out to road races – intimidation, lack of experience, and insufficient equipment among them. But the big one, of course, is children. We take time off to give birth, then spend the next 18 (or more) years teaching, feeding, wiping, funding, encouraging and chauffeuring them, with little to no regard for our own bodies, health or pleasure.
Of course this phenomenon extends well beyond cycling and is epidemic in all sports – robbing the world, at least temporarily, of some of our greatest athletes in the prime of their lives. My solution? For every child a woman gives birth to, she should be given an ass-kicking new bike – or tennis racket, golf clubs, hockey stick or treadmill. And better yet, some time to actually use it.
I'm lucky. I get to ride with some pretty awesome people – both men and women. When it comes to riding, we care way more about carbon fibre than chromosomes. I also have a patient and supportive family who understand that if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. And what makes this Mama happy is racing her bike.

We Mama's who race bikes are weird though.
And I think the photo count of me "from the rear" over the lifetime of your blog is up to about 5 now …. not that I'm counting.
Nice read W.C.C.
There was a far better shot of you and Vanessa riding, which offered a couple of fine examples of girl butt. You're welcome ladies. Sorry fellas.
Women are riding MTB. At least 15 showed up to race at Grand Beach this past Sunday. That is not counting KOM racers. However there were 90 male racers that showed up Sunday as well… 6:1 ratio.
Better than road but still not great representation of the women who cycle.
PS. Mountain biking is the superior form of cycling FYI.
Yes, I saw the results! That's awesome. Still not a great ratio, but we have to start somewhere. Cross is better too. This was the first road race and I know more will come out. In the meantime I will continue to work on my powers of persuasion.
As for which is the superior form of cycling, I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree. : )
Sshhh… Ben's sensitive about his rack.
(ps… though I'd love to take some credit, I was in fact not at all part of any leadout train. Full credit should go to Mark and Ben, who fried themselves at the front for Danny in vain hopes of upsetting the Youth's domination. Although, as you can tell, I was quite pleased with myself for orchestrating that and then avoiding spending any time in the pain cave entirely!)
Agree to disagree?
We will have to see you at a mountain bike race before you form this opinion.
See you this evening…on a mountain bike.
I am clicking the non-existent LIKE button on this comment G.
Adam and Andrea, you are both right. Which is to say, cyclocross is the superior form of cycling.
That's like saying the sky is blue. Or that Fort Garry Dark tastes soapy.
Have been reading your blog for several weeks now and you certainly motivated me to change up some of my bike training. Based on your enthusiasm for cycling I swallowed my pride, bit the bullet and tried a FOG ride.
Everyone was very nice, friendly and helpful and I enjoyed my ride tremendously. Even when I missed the draft and found myself by myself. When I finally caught up most everyone was off for additional kilometers. Not me. Nicely an extremely fit rider rode back with me. I swear he was only pedaling with the big toe on his right foot but he still kicked me. A great guy on a Cervelo named Dave. Thanks Dave.
Although riding in a group was sort of a "goal" of mine, I think your continuous encouraging of women to race more encouraged this Clyde to try something new. Thanks for that!! BTW – great, great blog!
That is awesome Grant! You sure don't mess around. If riding with FOG was your first group ride you get automatic badass status in my books. I'm really glad your experience was a good one!
Keep on riding – you'll just get fitter and faster. You'll be keeping up with Cervelo Dave in no time!
If, by bad ass, you mean extra-gigantic, walking door size sadly slow male cyclist in his fifties – then YES I resemble that remark.
Well I would almost be tempted to come out to a road race with you but would probably come in DFL if not a day later than everyone else. It was even more Fun to meet you at the Women's Ride this past Sat. What a hoot. I agree with you – I don't get the need for women to have their own special things either…oh except that maybe I can't keep up to the guys (yet). Be on the lookout for my Users' Guide to CycleChic blog to be posted sometime soon. It includes all the new cycling terms I didn't know before and some that I'm still trying to figure out. See ya out there!
I sure hope to see you out, it seems we know all the same people and all those people love to ride! Keep up the great work – you're already fit and with legs like yours you're bound to be a natural!
I look forward to seeing the Users Guide!
Road, mtb or cross…it doesn't matter. As long as you're riding. The trick is to find the resources (both time and money) to enjoy them all, as they we're all created to be enjoyable; which they are. I love biking. The more you submerse yourself in the culture, the more people you find that have submersed themselves in the culture. I met a guy this week who has ten bikes, and he's still building and collecting. Nothing too fancy, but all cool and interesting. I think it was Hal who told me the formula for how many bikes you should own was (n+1).
Hal is right. That is the correct number of bikes you should own.
And you're absolutely right too Terry. Mountain, road, cross – racing or riding – men or women – who cares? There is something out there for everyone. Cycling is just plain awesome.
Sniff… I love you guys.
CycleChick- had I known about the women's ride I'd have been there! My challenge to participating is that I never hear about stuff in time to accomodate events into my life, which is exactly as you described above.
Years ago I joined a tri club so I could meet people to ride with because I got sick of riding alone and anyone I knew was into mtn biking. (Having lived in the actual mountains, I couldn't be too enthoused to do that here -sorry Manitoba). So tri-geek it was, and though I raced and had fun, I don't have time for three sports, and am now back to my original one. AND I'm still kinda lacking in the roadie-friend dept.
Given I'm fully employed I can't be annoying and hang out in bike shops anymore like I used to… and am not in a club or whatever, I'm open to advice on being more informed about cycling with other humans.
P.S. Your blog entry on the energy bars was fab. Merci.
Hi Ciara. Thanks for your note and glad you liked the hippy bars! There are lots of ways to get involved with other roadies. We love company. Most of the bike shops have clubs you can join in order to participate in club rides (they all do road and mtb rides). You can also join the facebook page of the group I ride with. We ride Tuesday and Thursday mornings, starting at 5:45am from Cambridge and Wellington. There are often posts there about weekend rides too! Hope to see you out.

ooh this was an interesting commission lol. A nice lady requested herself and.... oh... me? BAD TASTE IN MEN. On a side note, I really hate drawing myself. I'm sick of seeing like on deviantART, people always draw themselves as super-attractive anime people for their profile pics so I try to avoid that, but I usually wind up drawing myself TOO unattractive which is why it looks like I'm dying of cancer in this pic. Cool.

Human Capital, Industrial Growth and Resource Curse
AbstractHow the country's natural resource abundance affects the industrial growth? We argue that one of the transmission mechanisms is via the accumulation of country's high skilled human capital. In particular, we empirically investigate whether link between country's natural resource endowment and industry-level growth depends on industry human capital requirement. We show that in the 1980s and the 1990s, industrial sectors that are high-skilled labor intensive developed disproportionately slowly in countries with higher contribution of natural resource sectors to GDP. While low-skilled labor intensity did not differentiate industrial growth between resource rich and resource poor countries. Our findings are in line with the theoretical argument that deteriorative effect of natural resources on the development of industrial sector is a byproduct of the capital accumulation process in the resource abundant open economy that slows down the development of marginally high-skilled labor force compared to the resource poor economies.

Johnny Foreigner - Johnny Foreigner Vs. Everything
Basically, I love this band with all my heart, since I first heard the single Our Bipolar Friends back in my first year of uni, they have always flawed me with everything they do. This week they released their third album, which is their most eclectic and ambitious set to date. There's still plenty of their trademark indie punk sound with twiddly guitars and intertwining boy/girl vocals, infact, with more of a focus on harmonies and the vocal interplay between Alexei and Kelly, JoFo sound as fearless as ever! What set's this album apart from previous JoFo release is the fact there is alot of a diversity on this album, with a nod towards a more mellower sound as well incorperating electronica programming, drum'nbass-esque beats, styalphones solo's, brass, spoken word sound collages and a lovely little piano ballad too! I'll wrap this up with a quote from the super Drowned In Sound website: "Johnny Foreigner have always had a gift for inclusion; they write songs about their friends, their enemies, the beauties and horrors of everyday life, and somehow they make you feel like you're all part of it."

(NEW YORK, NY) -- A woman who allegedly got inside stock tips from a former Wall Street investment banker can be called an actress, a dancer and model in court - but not a porn star, a federal judge said on Thursday.
James McDermott Jr., 48, former chief executive of investment banking firm Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc., goes on trial next month for allegedly giving inside information to an adult film actress with whom he was having an affair.
But jurors on the case will hear the woman, Kathryn Gannon, described as an actress, dancer and model rather than as a porn star or an exotic dancer, which might prejudice some people against her, U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood said at a pretrial hearing.
Gannon, 30, uses the name Marylin Star in adult films and in a sexually graphic Internet Web site, court papers said. Gannon, who lives in Canada, was not present at the hearing.
Defense lawyers had argued against disclosing to the jury that McDermott's lover worked as an adult actress, exotic dancer and escort, saying in court papers such evidence could only be intended to ``incite and inflame'' the jury.
Federal prosecutors have argued her job is relevant, to show she would not have been able to trade stocks of merging banks without her relationship with McDermott.
McDermott allegedly stole confidential information about six upcoming bank mergers and gave it to Gannon. She in turn passed it on to another man with whom she was involved, Anthony Pomponio. Prosecutors allege the two made more than $170,000 in illegal profits from the information.
Pomponio goes to trial on April 10, a week later than originally scheduled, the judge said on Thursday.
McDermott resigned from Keefe last summer amid the scandal and the investment bank axed plans to sell stock to the public in an initial public offering (IPO). Defense lawyers also argued in the hearing that remarks McDermott made at a Keefe board meeting in May about an IPO should not be relevant to the case, but federal prosecutors have argued it is critical.
Judge Wood on Thursday asked for submissions from each side on the issue but said discussion of the IPO at the trial would be ``time-consuming'' and ``distracting'' to the jury, and that companies cancel IPOs for a multitude of reasons.
