For those of us who were religious before becoming atheists, you understand how religion gave us meaning. If you follow the rules (especially in Judaism where there are many) and learn the right books, you'll get a big piece of heaven.
As an atheist, what gives you purpose and meaning in life?
As a "new" atheist (I just "came out" to some of my family and friends recently), this is something I am struggling with.
Thanks in advance.
I've never been concerned with meaning and purpose, even in my 55 years as a believer.
Now that I'm an atheist, I know there is no meaning and purpose to life. It just is. The closest I get to purpose is just trying to be happy and enjoy life, but I don't see that as a purpose. I don't feel driven to them.
Perhaps I'd be happier if I gave myself a purpose, but I doubt it. Most of the times I've set a goal for myself (usually from religious pressure), I've failed to reach it 100%, and that depressed me, so I've learned that I'm happier without goals, and I've not set one for probably 30 years.
Sometimes I'll think of something I would like to accomplish and will start it, but I don't make a big deal out of it, and try not to kick myself too hard if I don't finish it.
This spring, I somehow discovered I had 100 times the ambition I normally have, and set-out to modify my soil to please the watermelon I wanted to plant. I dug up the soil in an 11 foot diameter section of my garden, down to 3.5 feet deep. As I filled it back in, I mixed it with a large amount of manure, compost, and organic matter, as well as sand, because watermelon like well-drained soil. I even added two feet of the mixture above ground level.
However, I gave myself permission to quit anytime it became too much for me. After all, I'm 72 years old and was 80 pounds overweight when I started. I also did it all with hand tools.
I finished the project without a firm goal and lost 37 pounds of fat in the process!
Idaho, a few words from a song in the Broadway musical Camelot are apropos.
In words I don't remember, they said that for a short time there was an ideal place.
It seems like making a watermelon garden was, for a short time, your purpose/meaning.
More seriously, during my final years as a Roman Catholic I concluded:
1) The RC Church needs its believers to be unhappy,
2) Its rules, especially those on sexuality, contribute to that purpose, and
2) Unhappy people put the most effort into finding meaning for their lives.
These conclusions made my departure inevitable.
Interesting hypothesis, Tom, and one which I think would be interesting to get a priest's viewpoint on. They, after all, should (in theory) be the most unhappy under this paradigm, shouldn't they? (Rape cases withheld).
Mathew, you're right; priests should (in theory) be the most unhappy under this paradigm.
That's the theory. Test it.
Words, symbols, and all things to be expressed can have meaning. What is it you intend to say for a life to have "meaning"? It seems to me when we begin to define specifically what that looks like in our mind, then maybe we can come upon some semblance of an answer. I for one, do not view purpose and meaning as the same thing in this sense. Purpose, for me, tends to denote the reason for which something exists; the cause, or end, that it is intended to reach. Meaning, on the other hand... I'm not sure how to apply this to my life, or how I view anyone else's. I think we can find things like joy, values, ethics, causes, and even purpose, to some extent. It seems to me though, that the "meaning" of our own lives, is best determined by someone else, and their interpretation of who we are, though I suppose we could justifiably ask "what should we do with our time here?"
Purpose of life is a recurring theme for discussions here and it will continue to be so because one discussion is not enough for constantly emerging new answers. In the context of the universe, our life has no meaning. This is a fact accepted by all atheists. The only meaning to our lives is that which we give it on an individual plane. One meaning that I believe must be common to all is : make most of your life, be happy and make others happy as much you can. This is the lowest common denominator of all concepts of purporse. Anything that one does more than this is an achievement. Names of those with greater achievement are remembered long after they cease to exist. Darwin is going to live for long.
dang glich.. see this:
best. very well said. ex xtian / muslim .. both! ?
find outlets.. they're plenty. skate. exercise. yoga. drink water instead of soda. . . . change. watch a bluray or two. marvel. CG stuff.. inspriing
nature lovers saved me. believers or non btw..
The great Robert Byrne once said: "The purpose of life is a life of purpose". What did he mean ? My idea is that he meant by that, that anything you do that makes you happy and that is purposeful, such as volunteering at a soup kitchen or visiting the elderly to make them feel that there is still people who think about them and care, or whatever it might be that makes you happy and you find to be purposeful, makes life worth living even in the absence of God belief.
No one needs to believe in a god to find purpose and meaning in their life. Just ask any member of Atheist Nexus. Personally, I find meaning and purpose in blogging about atheism versus god belief, especially the belief in the God of Judaeo/Christian religion and the God Allah of Islam, since they are the most prominent religions today and the cause of much suffering even to this day. My purpose, and what makes me happy is trying to educate people about the evils of God-belief, and that atheists are not the immoral monsters that all theists of whatever religion think that us atheists are.
So, my advice is, find what makes you happy and gives you a sense of purpose that helps make the world, or your corner of it, a little bit of a better place.
Throughout most of the world for most of history the vast majority of people have had to work hard merely to stay alive. Thomas Hobbes described it in a famous passage of Leviathan as a life of "continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
That we are able to contemplate a purpose or meaning for life beyond the bare struggle to maintain it is the signal luxury we enjoy in modern times. The irony is that we fortunate ones have this freedom even after the bloodiest century of all of history and in the midst of war. Only in 9/11 was our good fortune interrupted and although only 3000 were killed—a mere drop in the bucket of blood that is human history—it has colored everything since.

Global Outlook
Natural Gas Versus Coal
The glut of natural gas unleashed by hydraulic fracturing - and the resulting low prices - make it seem like a no-brainer: Ditch coal-fired electric plants, with all their baggage about air pollution and water consumption, and switch to natural gas. Trends over the past year suggest that is starting to happen nationally, as natural gas has overtaken coal for generating electricity.
Use of coal to generate electricity was down almost 18% for the first seven months of 2012, compared with the same period in 2011, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Natural gas use was up by 30%.
Low natural gas prices alone are not enough to prompt power companies to shift multimillion dollar investments. "Nobodys going to tear down a half-billion-dollar coal plant to put in a new natural gas plant just because natural gas is slightly cheaper, said Edward Hirs, an energy economist at the University of Houston. In a recent analysis, Hirs and his co-authors predicted no more than 20% of coal-fired electric power nationally would shift to natural gas within the next 20 years.
Politics may play a role in determining coals future.
The House of Representatives earlier this month passed the Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012, aimed at blocking federal regulations that could affect coal mining and highlighting Republican differences over energy policy with the Obama administration.The bill stalled in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
A federal appeals court last summer cleared the way for the Environmental Protection Agency to move ahead with additional efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions from industry and vehicles, and the EPA is expected to introduce the first set of national limits on carbon dioxide from new coal-fired power plants.
"It is hard to know which way the politics will go, said Steve Piper, associate director at SNL Energy. "The greenhouse gas standard is fairly new. That is going to make it hard to build new coal plants. If a new administration was hostile to that rule, they could probably get it stopped. But at the same time, everybody wants to embrace natural gas.
Hirs noted that access to natural gas would become an issue if the number of natural gas-fired plants were to increase substantially. "If we replace coal plants in the Northeast with natural gas plants, we need a constant supply of natural gas, he said, rather than relying on the same pipelines used to carry gas for heating and industrial production. "Until the government gets behind building more pipelines for natural gas and making the supply available for generators, we are not going to see wholesale change, Hirs said.

This is an invalid question. Obviously Suglobov is likely to be in the NHL whereas Klee will not be, but the Devils were getting rid of Suglobov regardless. You cannot evaluate prospect for veteran deals this way or else they will all look bad. The Devils are getting a better player for one not on their roster and one not in their future plans.
Who will be a better player in 5 years - Peter Forsberg or Cam Janssen?
I like the fact that even today the answer to this question is still Peter Forsberg.

"Tu Familia" Bike Safety PSA Makes Its Debut
April 6, 2012 at 4:25 pm | Posted in Bike News | 1 CommentTags: city of lights, education, LADOT, REI, spanish, Tu Familia
In the spirit of our "Give Me 3" poster campaign, LACBC's City of Lights program, in conjunction with the LA Department of Transportation and R.E.I., have debuted LA's first-ever Spanish-language bike safety campaign. Perhaps you've seen some of the posters around town, as they'll be appearing at a bus shelter near you.
Designed by artist and LACBC volunteer Aaron Kuehn (he of bicycle typogram fame) with the guidance of day laborers and City of Lights volunteers over several months, the PSA used colorful reds, blues, and yellows to really make the message pop out to motorists. It reads "PRECAUCIÓN: Tu familia también usa la bicicleta" (in English: "CAUTION: Your family also rides bicycles") to remind everyone that people who ride bikes are your family (sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively), and family comes first. Your actions can put your family in danger, so be careful out there and share the road.
This project brought together day laborer cyclists from CARECEN and IDEPSCA, LACBC staff, volunteers, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, and REI to create a Spanish-language PSA campaign that not only speaks to a large demographic of LA city stakeholders–48% of our city is Latino–but the message was developed by the Latino day laborer cyclists themselves. You can read more about the process here and here.
The poster was unveiled at yesterday's CicLAvia and Spanish-Language Bike Safety PSA Press Conference in MacArthur Park with Mayor Villaraigosa and Councilmembers Huizar, Reyes, and LaBonge. You can view photos on our Facebook page. You can learn more about the making of the print PSA by watching this behind the scenes video, directed by Jordan Melograna. You can also view the accompanying video PSA, also directed by Jordan.
A big thanks to everyone involved to make this collaborative project possible; Elwyn, Leo Espinosa, Guillermo "Capitan," Rafael, Andy Rodriguez, Allison Mannos, Miguel Ramos, Jason Ellis, Raquel, Greg, Andy S., Aaron Kuehn for his design, Jordan Melograna for directing and editing the video, Michelle Mowery and Nate Baird from LADOT, and Pete Novahom, Myrian Solis, and Daniella Escobar from REI. Additional thanks to those who worked on the video PSA: Colin Whitman, Jennifer Wright, Ryan Bosc, Kathy Peltier, Desiree Morales, Carlos Vasquez, Randy Bloise, Diane Kryszewski, Alex Cason, Rachel Hudson, Brad Ernske, Matt Grace, Saumin Pathak, Carlos Vargas, Irving Anguiano, Marcelo Quinonez, David Fordham, Raelin Martinez, Carlos Moreno, Jr., Adriana Fricke, Aislinn Glennon, Jahnny Lee , and JJ Hoffman.
And be on the lookout for these posters. You can download a PDF on Aaron Kuehn's website.
Fans of "Give Me 3″: LACBC Leading on LA's 1st Spanish-Language Bike PSA Bus Shelter Ad
June 22, 2011 at 2:21 pm | Posted in Bike News, Get Involved | 3 CommentsTags: Awareness, Bici Digna, city of lights, education, GiveMe3, REI, spanish
City of Lights/LACBC, in proud partnership with LADOT and REI, recently kicked off some brainstorm meetings with some BiciDignarios and day laborers we work with to create Los Angeles' first ever Spanish-language bike PSA bus shelter ad.
Many of you may be familiar with the Give Me 3 bus shelter public awareness campaign LACBC and Midnight Ridazz spearheaded in 2010 with LADOT. To much fanfare, they debuted throughout thousands of bus shelters in the County and led to the Mayor and California Bicycle Coalition's campaign to get a Statewide 3-foot passing law.
Now, LACBC is collaborating again, this time with REI's Spanish language Community Relations Department Staff and LADOT to educate the public about cyclists' rights again, en español! The process has been entirely led by Spanish speaking cyclists from the CARECEN and IDEPSCA day labor centers. Via popular education methods, City of Lights has facilitated the creative brainstorming process, turning the City's public education opportunity into a cutting edge, culturally relevant, bottom up awareness ad, by and for Latina/o communities.
At several different meetings, BiciDignarios and other cyclists convened to brainstorm themes and slogans addressing both cyclists and motorists on issues most important to them. This ranged from sharing the road, cyclist and motorist awareness, environmental, and safety messaging. They then refined 30 messages to be catchier and shorter, finally selecting the top 5 at yesterday's meeting.
More updates to come as we wait for graphic designs and the final(!) vote by the BiciDignarios on the winning design. The final design is expected to get printed by the City and put up in 10,000 bus shelters Countywide.
Mechanically Inclined Volunteers Needed to Help with BiciDigna Bike Repair Space!
May 27, 2010 at 4:24 pm | Posted in Bike News, Get Involved | 1 CommentTags: bicidigna, day laborer, LACBC, mechanic, spanish, volunteer
Calling all of you bike mechanic afficionados! Those of you that love nothing more than the sweet smell of grease, the clanking of tools, the ticking of freewheels. If you like fixing bikes and speak Spanish, we need you!
BiciDigna ("A Dignified Bicycle" in Spanish) is an exciting new collaborative project of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, the Bicycle Kitchen, and IDEPSCA. We are a community bike repair space at the Downtown Community Job Center, and work with Latino cyclists every week. We began our project out of the great need for low-cost bike repair and bikes, with the vision of creating a community fixture where Latino cyclists can congregate and fix bikes, and host bike rides.
Ideal volunteers would be interested in some or all of the following: Speak at least intermediate Spanish, feel very comfortable fixing bikes, and doing some light building/construction (i.e., building cabinets for bike tools, etc.) We typically do bike mechanic workshops once a week in the morning. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or visit http://ciudaddeluces.wordpress.com for more information and how to get involved!

An excellent review! As a Christian, I've always believed that The Exorcist was one of the most effective "Christian" films, a horrifying wake-up call to the realities of good vs evil and the difficulty of maintaining one's faith in the midst of turmoil.
Halloween Pick: The Exorcist
This time of year, the general public is very film-conscious. Whether they're getting friends together for a Saw marathon (which sounds about as painful as the films' many torture devices), rushing out to see the latest Paranormal Activity, or staying in to revisit favorites like The Amityville Horror or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's clear that people have movies on the mind these days. I would like to offer my Halloween pick in the form of William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973): controversial, iconic, and every bit as terrifying as I imagine it must have been in 1973. It is one of those classics that feels continually relevant and ceaselessly potent. The Exorcist builds suspense scene by careful scene, and when it really gets going, you won't be able to look away. It contains imagery you've never forgotten and probably never will, and more importanly, it comprises a genuinely spiritual experience wrapped in an unassuming cloak of horror movie tropes. Chilling to the bone but surprisingly redemptive, The Exorcist might be the best Christian film ever made.
By "Christian film," I don't mean a film that was produced by a church or a Christian studio. I don't mean a film that was directed by a Christian. And I don't even mean a film that views itself as Christian. I mean, simply, that this film explores, and even affirms, the ideals that we claim to profess. There is no salvation message painted in unmistakable strokes, but The Exorcist upholds the power of God, faith, and prayer, and it concludes with a hopeful reality (paradox?) that is sorely missing in films that attempt to tackle religious values in any meaningful way. Christians have always, for perhaps good reasons, been wary of it. Original screenings provoked vomiting, and Billy Graham declared that the power of evil existed in the "fabric" of the film itself (it's ill-informed, sweeping, bombastic statements like these by religious leaders, by the way, that have historically instilled a separatist notion into Christians when it comes to culture). My guess is that most moralists were too busy picketing to view the film under protest. Because if they did, with a discerning eye at least, they would see that it bolsters these two quotes: "If you believe that there is a force for good that combats and eventually triumphs over evil, then you will be taking out of the film what we tried to put into it" (Friedkin, director). "There is an evil in this movie, but it forces you to confront it. I have no doubt it has been a force for good. It did do what I wanted him to do in the first place—to awaken people to the full dimension of the problem of iniquity—but he also pointed out the mystery of heroic goodness" (Thomas Bermingham, technical advisor).
To some, phrases like "the mystery of heroic goodness" might reek of wishy-washy, quasi-religious misdirection that specializes in a vague "spiritualism" with only a passing resemblance to Christianity. Less reasoned approaches will call it out on violence and profanity alone. But I see something much deeper and much more personally resonant. Karras is a protagonist with more complexity than all of the characters of Courageous combined: a struggling priest with more questions than answers, a man who first suggests science to a problem that he knows instinctively to be supernatural. What he ultimately finds on his journey to reclaimed faith will provoke thought in non-believers and passion in believers. This film does not champion sacrificial human valor for its own sake: it roots redemption in the God behind it. After a rollicking couple of hours, lives are both lost and saved (not necessarily separately), and we get a sense of triumph at the same time that we can't shake the cost that such triumph has required. The good team might have "won," but the damage has been done and the toll has been taken: we're still breathing, but we're not without scars. As the credits roll, we have no sunnier a view of the world than we had before, but deep down, we know that ugly as it is, it does not get the final say.
So turn off the lights and crank up the volume. And watch your faith played out in visceral terms. Sometimes the most "Christian" film of all can be found in the least expectant place: one of the scariest films ever made. Actually, now that I think about it, it makes a certain amount of sense: if Christian films aren't "allowed" to be scary, then nothing should be.

Pedal through San Francisco's literary past on this fun bike tour
San Francisco has been home to some of the true giants of American literature and poetry, from Jack London and Mark Twain to Jack Kerouac and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. To honor that past, 12 streets were renamed for these and other writers on Oct. 2, 1988, and there will be a 25th anniversary celebration of that dedication coming up on Oct. 6. So the Guardian worked with writer Nicole Gluckstern, Burrito Justice, and City Lights Bookstore to create this Literary Bike Tour map [1] that attendees will follow that day, starting at 11am at Jack London Street and concluding with a reading at 2pm in Jack Kerouac Alley. So join the festivities or just take the tour on your own.

You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can't write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that's really not you. It's not ingrained. It's not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like.
If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it's the only way.
Set fire to your old self. It's not needed here. It's too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven't gotten as far as you'd like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference.
Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn't necessary."

Abi @ 18
I consider myself lucky and privileged to have taken photos of this pretty girl blossoming into a woman. It's always a pleasure taking portraits of people. More so when the person you're taking a photo of is stepping out into the "world" – debuting.
It's a blessing to be part of that process of introducing the woman coming out from a girl. It could not get any better when one's photos are shown in an audio-visual presentation during the coming out party itself.
My biggest thanks to the Belisario Family for trusting me with this job. And to Gian Tancontian as well for taking time out to be my shooting buddy.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present, Abi Belisario.

Getting Back In The Groove
I have tried to be as disconnected as possible the past few days which has now put me more than a bit behind on email and basically every other communication method I use.
We live in the same area the majority of our family lives in which means we had three places to visit on the 24th, three on the 25th, then two on the 26th. I am Christmas partied out. Which means it is time to start getting back in the normal groove, although I made promises to the kids to NOT work or be on the laptop as much this coming week since I now have more say on my own schedule than in past years. I will keep that promise to them.
As I prep to get back in the after-Christmas groove I am reviewing as much end of year data as possible on local search, online advertising, mobile search and areas related. Although most data you find this time of year is estimated only (since there is a whole week left….) I like to have an idea how the trends have looked over the year so you can find things to take advantage of going into the New Year.
Long story short, make sure you watch the trends and plan your attack for the New Year, review what has worked, what has not worked, where various trends are headed and plan your strategy accordingly.
All that said, as I get back into normal blogging this week I will show some of the interesting stats I have been finding (some not just end of year but just local search related trends in general).
Continue to have a great Holiday!

58147 : D-Link DSL-500 Default SNMP Community Names Printer | http://osvdb.org/58147 | Email This | Edit Vulnerability
By default, DSL-500 uses with default SNMP community strings. The read only community string is 'public' and the read-write community string is 'private' which is publicly known and documented. This allows attackers to trivially access the program or system.
Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s):
Disable the SNMP service on the remote host if you do not use it, filter incoming UDP packets going to this port, or change the default community string.
NVD does not currently have a CVSSv2 score assigned.

how to get a ADS1291 demo board schematic in Orcad format? thanks
Hi David,
The demo board was not done in Orcad but instead done in PADs. I have attached the PADs schematic to this email if you want to attempt to do some sort of conversion.
Tony Calabria
thank you very much, I don't know how to convert it. is any one know how to convert it to Orcad? I will post this question to Cadence support forum.
the only way to convert to Orcad is by Elgris tools or their service. can anyone shares an Orcad format of ADS1291 design?
Hi Tony,
if you have PADs design tools, could you please help me export it to a .txt file? please choose select all in ASCII output pop up, and output to 2004.X format.
Best Regards,
This is David again, if you could and would to export the PADs to txt format, please only export page 2. Because the method I learned only do one page at a time. I only care the ADS129x page.
That option was not available. Attached is what we could provide extracting the file you asked.
Hello Tony, I download the file you posted but I seems it does not run on Eagle cadsoft 6.2, have you got suggestions to solve this out?
Hi Jairo,
I do not have Eagle cadsoft so I cannot comment on how you can import it. I have given you all the files which we have here. You may have to rebuild the board and use our provided schematic and gerber files to help.

Motorcycle dealers are special people. They keep motorcyclists rolling with bikes, service and gear, and they're often working hard while everyone else is out having fun riding. The very best dealers also work with the American Motorcyclist Association to help protect all motorcyclists' right to ride.
The dealers listed below are part of the AMA's Dealer Affililate Program, and they go above and beyond to help grow AMA membership. Their efforts to help sell AMA memberships help give motorcyclists more clout when it comes to stopping bad laws and championing good ones.
The threats to motorcycling are real: motorcycle-only checkpoints, untested E15 ethanol fuel and insurance discrimination, just to name a few. By helping the AMA grow, dealers and others in the industry increase political clout for all of us to fight these threats, and safeguard the future of motorcycling. The best part? We're adding dealers all the time.
Please consider supporting these dealers next time you're buying a bike, gear, parts or accessories.
If you're a dealer and want to get involved and see your dealership listed here, email firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll get you started easily, for free, and with no obligation.

New Food Pyramid
- Details
- Parent Category: Health and Fitness
- Category: Diet & Nutrition
- Published on Thursday, 25 June 2009 10:14

Moderation, Exercise, Individuality Now Stressed
April 19, 2005 -- Federal officials unveiled new dietary recommendations Tuesday, updating the widely known -- but rarely followed -- food pyramid for the first time in 13 years.
Officials say they once again hope to make the revamped pyramid, now decorated with a series of colored bands representing food groups, a fixture in schools, doctors' offices, and health clinics throughout the nation. They also hope that a new emphasis on exercise and moderate eating will finally help make a dent in America's obesity epidemic, now affecting more than one-third of adults and nearly one-fifth of teens.
Moderation, Moderation, Moderation
The new pyramid is based on U.S. Department of Agriculture dietary recommendations released in January. It still emphasizes grains, fruits, and vegetables with limited amounts of meats, oils, and fat.
Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns describes the main thrust of the retooled pyramid as "first and foremost, moderation.
"Pay attention to what you're eating, moderation, and then exercise. Even a small amount of exercise will make a difference," he says. In addition to familiar cartoon representations of recommended foods, the new pyramid includes a stick-figure human climbing steps to its top, a symbol meant to emphasize physical activity, officials say.
The new strategy is shown on a government web site --- www.mypyramid.gov. It's designed to help individuals plan their dietary intake based on their age, sex, and level of daily physical activity. Officials billed the new emphasis on individualized diet advice as an improvement over the 1992 Food Guide Pyramid, which issued one set of recommendations averaged out for all Americans.
"It's become quite familiar, but few Americans follow the recommendations," Johanns says of the 1992 pyramid. "Every single American can find a MyPyramid that is right for them" with the new system.
A 55-year-old female who exercises less than 30 minutes a day is told to consume 1,600 calories per day in a diet consisting of 5 ounces of grains, 3.5 ounces of fruits and vegetables, 3 cups of milk and dairy products, and 5 ounces of meat and beans. For a man of the same age and exercise level, the site calls for a diet limited to 2,000 calories per day.
Kathleen Zelman, direction of nutrition for WebMD, says the new recommendations make good nutrition sense.
"MyPyramid reinforces what health professionals have been advocating for years - make small dietary changes toward healthier lifestyles, be active, and enjoy all foods in proper proportion."
But she notes that it's up to individuals to take charge of their health.
"Even the best recommendations are only useful if consumers heed the advice and take steps to improve their eating and exercise habits."
Not for Losing Weight
The limits are designed for weight maintenance and not necessarily weight loss, says Eric Hentges, executive director of the Center for Nutrition Policy Programs at USDA and one of the chief architects of the new pyramid.
"It is not a diet plan, it is a plan for healthy eating," he says. Officials hope that consumers will use the web site to track their daily food intake as a starting point for gradually losing weight.
"The issue here is getting started. If you're not monitoring, you're likely not going to be able to make progress" losing weight, Hentges says.
Industry groups, long opposed to efforts to limit junk food marketing or distribution, praised the guidelines for focusing on exercise and moderation. "It is important that the emphasis remains on positive dietary choices, to ensure good nutrition and adequate hydration," Cal Dooley, president and CEO of the Food Products Association (FPA), says in a statement.
Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says the new pyramid is a modest improvement over the 1992 pyramid because of its emphasis on limiting calories and individualized dietary recommendations. But she also criticizes the effort for not doing enough to minimize Americans intake of fat- and calorie-dense junk food.
"The USDA really dodged the politically difficult message of encouraging Americans to eat less," she says.
While the new food pyramid may seem confusing at first, you can get well on your way to a healthier, new you by following the basics.
Eat at least 3 ounces of whole-grain bread, cereal, crackers, rice, or pasta every day
Look for "whole" before the grain name on the list of ingredients.
Eat more dark green vegetables.
Eat more orange vegetables.
Eat more dry beans and peas.
Eat a variety of fruit.
Choose fresh, frozen, canned, or dried fruit.
Go easy on fruit juices.
Get most of your fat from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.
Limit solid fats like butter, stick margarine, shortening, and lard.
Go low fat or fat free.
If you don't or can't drink milk, choose lactose-free products or other calcium sources.
Meat & Beans
Choose low-fat or lean meats and poultry.
Bake it, broil it, or grill it.
Vary your choices -- with more fish, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds.

Climbing to the Top of the Food Pyramid
Confused by the government's new food guidelines? Three experts help you learn just what you need to know.
They've tossed it on its side and added a rainbow of colors. But that's just the beginning of the changes for the U.S. government's new Food Pyramid.
But if you're like many of us, you may be wondering, "What was wrong with the old pyramid?" And is everything they told us before no longer true?
The good news is that experts say the new guidelines themselves are quite similar to the old, with the graphic changes in the pyramid simply being more representational of what those guidelines are.
"There was nothing wrong with the old pyramid, except that it left too much open for interpretation; the new pyramid is more specific and more reflective of what the guidelines actually say," says nutritionist Cathy Nonas, MS, RD, director of diabetes and obesity programs at North General Hospital in Harlem, N.Y.
The Rainbow of Colors
These specifics include brightly colored vertical stripes, each representing one of six food groups: grains (orange -- and the widest stripe), vegetables (green), fruits (red), oils (yellow -- and the thinnest stripe), milk -- including most foods made from milk (blue), and meat & beans (purple).
The stripes are also engineered to be wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, ostensibly to drive home the idea that not all foods within that group are of the same value.
"The idea is to make us aware of not only food groups, but choices within those groups," says Nonas, who points out that an apple pie and an apple might fall within the same food group but not have equal nutritional value.
Unfortunately, make just one visit to www.mypyramid.gov and you'll soon discover that making your food choices might seem like it's easier said than done. Indeed, among the criticisms that surfaced since the pyramid debuted is that the new system is simply too confusing to be of much use.
"The new design does not clearly communicate which foods Americans should be eating more of (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meat, and beans) and which foods Americans should be eating less of (refined grains, whole milk, cheese, hamburgers, and soda)," was just one of the statements about the new food pyramid released by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
At the same time, other experts say that by mastering just a little bit of a learning curve, all Americans can gather some vital data from the pyramid; information that just might help us turn some nasty eating habits, as well as our burgeoning obesity epidemic, around.
"I think it's immediately more confusing and a little hard for some people, but I think that years down the road it will prove beneficial," Nonas tells WebMD.
The Food Pyramid: Your Take-Home Message Right Now
If, in fact, there is one new message today's pyramid is shouting the loudest, it's that we should not view a healthy diet in terms of food alone. While experts have always touted the benefits of exercise, the new pyramid -- complete with a figure running up the side over a set of steps -- is there to remind us that healthy eating and exercise are now married for life.
"Essentially the message here is move your body. The goal is to remind us of the importance of making movement a part of our everyday life and not just something we reserve for an hour once or twice a week at a gym," says Jyni Holland, MS, RD, co-author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Weight Loss Tracker.
And while for most people even just the word "exercise" conjures up Hollywood images of expensive equipment and pricey personal trainers, Holland says that getting in our now-requisite quota of "daily moves" does not have to mean plunking down big bucks to sweat in a room filled with perfect strangers.
"The goal is for each of us to take 10,000 steps a day -- and you can do that by simply getting off the bus two blocks before your stop, taking the stairs for a few flights, and bypassing the parking spot closest to the mall and looking for a space three or four rows back. Even doing routine housework like washing windows or vacuuming or mowing the lawn or pulling weeds -- these are the 'real life' ways to incorporate exercise into our daily living," Holland tells WebMD.
A pedometer can keep track of your number of steps and help motivate you to keep going.
The second new message: No single eating plan is right for all people. While getting that point across now involves navigating through 12 different pyramids -- for men, women, and children of varying weights and ages -- again, experts say the suggestion here is simpler than it seems.
"The basic message is that not all people need the same amount of food -- so if, for example, you are overweight then you need to consume less food than someone your same age and gender who is not overweight," says Nonas.
To help us figure out which pyramid has our name on it, the web site offers a program, found at www.mypyramidtracker.gov. Here you enter your age, weight, sex, and activity level, to find out what you need to eat as well as track it.
Or you can simply go to WebMD's special report on The New Food Pyramid and check out the charts and information on each food group to help you figure out how much you should eat each day.
Technologically Challenged?
For those who don't have access to a computer, the government says they will release an old-fashioned pen and pencil version we can all use to calculate what our food intake should be.
While the algorithm used to determine our food intake is under some scrutiny -- the requirements for a man in his mid-40s, for example, can be identical to that of his 15-year-old son -- experts say the overall message here is a good one. Namely, that we need to take an individual look at what and how much we are eating.
"They were trying to be adaptable, and that's always a difficult thing when you are dealing with millions and millions of people," says Nonas.
Plates a-Plenty: Controlling What You Eat
Among the biggest criticisms of the old pyramid was that while it may have suggested what to eat, it never really told us how much. And though we can't get into too much trouble in categories like fruits and vegetables, where many Americans ran amok was in the section labeled "grains."
"People just didn't know what a whole grain was, so they ended up eating a ton of white bread, white rice, and pasta, all the time thinking they were doing the right thing," says nutritionist Samantha Heller, MS, RD, a senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center in New York.
Now, says Heller, the guidelines clearly spell out that of the 8 ounces of grains needed every day, at least half should be whole grains -- foods like oatmeal, whole-grain bread, brown rice, and whole-grain cereals.And, she says, meeting this recommendation is easier than we think.
"Have a bowl of oatmeal cereal for breakfast and you have two servings. Eat your lunch on two slices of whole wheat bread and you have two more servings -- and bingo, you've made your whole-grain requirement for the day," says Heller.
Once you've figured out how much of each food group you need each day, you can figure out how to meet these requirements. And meeting these requirements may also be easier than you think.
"Most people eat at least a cup of salad at a time -- so if you eat one with lunch, you've got two servings of vegetables; add a half cup of another vegetable with dinner and you are there," says Heller.
For breakfast, she suggests drinking just 4 ounces of a whole juice. And grab an apple for an afternoon snack, which can fill your fruit requirement for the day.
"It's really not that difficult if you just stop to think about it," Heller tells WebMD.
And that, say experts, is precisely what the new pyramid was designed to help us do.
Adds Holland: "The 'real life' take-home message is to make intelligent food choices -- whenever possible opting for the most nutrient dense foods -- plus, watch your portion sizes, and get some exercise every day. That's all you really need to remember."

Filtration Principles
Endotracheal Tubes
Since 1965 an awareness as to contaminated ventilating machines causing infections to subsequent patients has resulted in a universal acceptance to use filters to protect the patients, staff and machinery. Filters and Heat Moisture Exchangers (HME) have developed since then not only to prevent bacterial and viral contamination but to also compensate for bypassing the upper airway during anaesthesia or intubation.
The blood born virus advisory panel of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland recommended that an appropriate filter should be placed between the patient and the breathing system, with a new filter being used for each patient. This protection may be achieved by two different filtration methods, either by mechanical filtration, or by electrostatic charge filtration.
Mechanical filters, also known as pleated paper filters, have a tightly packed medium with a hydrophobic coating providing a small pore size membrane that physically stops the passage of organisms. Typically these filters have very high levels of efficiency and their hydrophobic properties also provide a degree of humidification for the patient. Electrostatic filters use a medium that is loosely woven and given a charge that holds onto micro-organisms allowing filtration in a small, light casing.
Properties of Filters and HMEF's When considering filters a number of important properties should be taken in to account and these are:
1. Filtration Efficiency As many as 10-15% of intubated patients develop pneumonia at a level of 1-3% per day of intubation. These pneumonia's may prolong hospital stays by 4-9 days and contribute to as many as 15% of all hospital deaths.
From this it is evident that filtration efficiency is paramount to protect the patients and ventilators from cross contamination. Flexicare filters provide protection against bacteria and viruses at a very high level of efficiency. This level of effectiveness is independently tested and verified by the Applied Centre for Microbiology and Research at Porton Down Salisbury, giving confidence in our filter properties. Flexicare filters will maintain the specified level of efficiency for the full recommended period of use.
3. Humidification Abilities To counteract the risk of actelectasis, epithelial damage and reduction of mucocillary transport, adequate humidification should be provided to long term intubated patients. HMEF's may not only act against these factors by providing humidification, their use is also thought to reduce the incidence of late onset Ventilator Associated Pneumonia compared to heated wire systems.
It is recommended that HMEF humidification levels should be at least 30mg/L H2O at an inspired air temperature of 30oC. All Flexicare HMEF's exceed this minimum by providing a maximum moisture output performance of 32.3mg/L H2O as independently tested and verified by the Medical Device Agency (MDA).

Workshops with Phil Banaszak and Dave Ruch
Date: Sunday April 22nd 2012 2:00-4:30 pm $20-
Location: The Canaan Institute. RSVP to Mike to reserve a seat and for detailed directions
Musicians instrumental Workshops with Phil Banaszak and Dave Ruch from The Canal Street String Band. Phil and Dave will teach 2 workshops concurrently: one in the farmhouse and one in the music building at the Canaan Institute. See
Dave and Phil are performing for WVBR's Bound for Glory radio show later that same evening with The Canal Street String Band!
Fiddle (Phil) - Former New York State fiddle champion
Phil Banaszak's self-taught style is based on bluegrass, Celtic and old-time fiddling. He has played professionally for over 30 years and has taught fiddling for nearly 20 years. His workshops usually take on a life of their own based on the needs and questions of the group, and in the past they have focused on the mechanics of playing the fiddle for different levels, music theory, learning new tunes and more. Phil is an inductee into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame, and he also sings, plays the guitar (a little) and the mandolin with The Canal Street String Band.
New York State fiddle/dance tunes (Dave)
- For all melody instruments. Join Dave Ruch for a special session on lesser-known fiddle and dance tunes from the repertoires of NYS old-time fiddlers. This is a hands-on workshop for all instrumental musicians interested in adding some authentic New York State fiddle tunes to their playing. Tunes will be taught by ear in the old style, with the instructor playing one phrase at a time (on mandolin) until the group is ready to move on to the next. Sheet music will also be provided, but let's see how far we can get without it! Other questions that will be addressed by Dave include:
* Is there a New York State "sound"?
* How did the traditional music played in this area differ from what was played in the American south, and in New England?
* Who were/are the Tommy Jarrells and Henry Reeds of this area, the tradition bearers who kept (and keep) the old fiddle music alive and passed it down through the generations?
The approximate plan for the afternoon is this:
1) Starting promptly at 2:00 pm - a mixed session for everyone, Phil & I introduce ourselves, play a tune or two, then break off into two areas.
2) Phil leads his fiddle workshop, Dave will lead a NYS Tunes workshop in separate room, (He'll teach the tunes on mandolin, but this will be for all melody players, he will teach at least two and maybe three or more tunes depending on speed of class), for maybe 60-75 minutes
3) break/mingle/refreshments ...
4) the two groups come back together, bowing issues and other fiddle related questions from Dave's session can be addressed with Phil, we can then break off again or stay together depending on flow, people's interests, etc

De/Material Logo Animation from Noah Boyle on Vimeo.
De/Material Logo on Web from Noah Boyle on Vimeo.
De/Material Clothing Line & Identity System
Vector and Raster Images
Identity system for De/Material, a clothing line, created by myself, with an anti-consumer culture agenda. Every shirt contains a message which speaks to the dangers of the materialistic, consumer culture we exist within as Americans. This creates an ironic paradox for the consumer where he or she must "consume" a shirt to wear the anti-consumption messages. This concept of an anti-brand is taken one step further by keeping the logo off of the actual shirts themselves.
Visually, the animated identity of De/Material echoes the idea of going against the grain of "material", consumer culture. The type is in a constant state of flux, evaporating in and out of materialization. And with such a wide array of variations in logo disintegration, it emulates the idea of a "one of a kind" within our mass-produced, artificially perfect society. This identity can either be used in motion or can be stopped at any point and used as a still image. The initial de-materialization in the identity video is used for web & mobile applications while the second de-materialization is used for print & tv applications.

text: MD councillors propose changes to regional planFoothills: MD could rejoin partnership if changes approvedBy: Don Patterson | Posted: Wednesday, Sep 04, 2013 10:53 am The MD of Foothills could rejoin the Calgary Regional Partnership if changes to a growth plan for the area proposed by MD council last week are accepted by the provincial government. MD Reeve Larry Spilak said council is asking Municipal Affairs minister Doug Griffiths to approve two changes to the Calgary Metropolitan Plan (CMP). One was a confirmation the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP) would not have jurisdiction over land use decisions within the MD. Council is also asking for veto power for individual municipalities over potential changes to the CMP that would adversely affect them. If the minister approves the proposed changes, Spilak said the MD would be open to rejoining the partnership. �At that point we would consider rejoining because we feel that our autonomy is being protected and that�s always been out concern,� he said. �We never really had any problem with the plan, we just always wanted to protect our autonomy going forward.� The MD left the partnership in 2010 over concerns about the CMP and the partnership�s voting structure, which some have argued gave the City of Calgary a veto over decisions made by the organization. Earlier this year, Griffiths ordered the CRP, the MD and Rocky View County into mediation in an attempt to resolve concerns over the plan. The mediation process is complete and the issue is now in the minister�s hands. Spilak said the mediation was positive and he believes the MD�s concerns were heard. However, he doesn�t know if the proposed changes will be approved by the minister and the CRP. CRP Chairman Truper McBride said the partnership has not taken any formal stance on the mediation and the group�s board will discuss the issue at a meeting on Sept. 20. �I�m very encouraged by the position the MD of Foothills has taken,� he said. McBride said the MD�s recommendations are along the lines of what was discussed during the mediation meetings. He stressed the CRP doesn�t have control over land use decisions in any member municipality. McBride said he is personally willing to support giving a veto to municipalities directly affected by changes to the CMP. Kathleen Range, spokesperson for Griffiths, said the minister has received a report from the mediator, but he hasn�t had time to deal with it. She said the flood response has taken up most of the minister�s time this summer and the CMP has had to take a back seat for the time being, but it will be on the minister�s agenda for the fall. �We�re doing the best to keep on top of the rest of our business and this is one of those things that we know is important,� she said.

Papal election stirs Argentina's 'dirty war' past
Pope Francis is known for his humility, his reluctance to talk about himself. The self-effacement, admirers say, is why he has hardly ever denied one of the harshest allegations against him: That he was among church leaders who actively supported Argentina's murderous dictatorship.

Cardinals locked into Sistine Chapel to pick pope
Cardinals from around the globe locked themselves inside the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday to choose a new leader for the world's 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church, surrounded by Michelangelo's imposing frescos imagining the beginning and the end of the world.
Before the conclave, horse-trading has begun
The Vatican insists that the cardinals participating in the upcoming conclave will vote their conscience, each influenced only by silent prayers and reflection. Everybody knows, however, that power plays, vested interests and Machiavellian maneuvering are all part of the game, and that the horse-trading is already under way.
Top contenders to be the next pope
Cardinals from around the world gather this week in a conclave to elect a new pope following the stunning resignation of Benedict XVI.

We can all think of a rainy or snowy day where it was difficult to pull an outfit together, let alone accessorize the ensemble. It's sometimes difficult to crawl out from under the covers when the snow is covering the ground. With the slippery slopes to hurry down and the treacherous stairs to climb just to make it to class, who has time to think of fashion? I spotted this wintery Fashionista on one of many icy days on campus who accessorized for the winter weather with floral pieces.
She stuck with an all black look – comfy leggings, a warm fleece and tall riding boots – staying cozy for the chilly weather. Her accessories were what turned heads. Her purple scarf was weather appropriate while adding some color. Her crocheted headband kept the wind and snow from ruining her curly pony and her coral flower drop earrings added just the right amount of pop for a February afternoon. Maybe the flower power will help wash winter away?
The peach earrings were my favorite part of the look. The color was subtle while the design was loud. If coral is the color you've been looking for, try the Marquise Leaf Cascade earrings from BaubleBar. The three tiered statement piece would work for any season. For a smaller drop, Banana Republic's Coral Drop Earrings have enough color to pair with a patterned top or a simple dress. Or, if you're looking for something for a more formal event J.Crew's Feather Earrings would do the trick. The golden color and rhinestones would be my choice for a special night out.
The peachy statement piece is something for everyone's jewelry box that will never be out of season. Grab a pair today to prepare for the spring. I know you have a sundress that you're dying to break out. Start accessorizing now!
Spotted: Miu Miu's spring 2013 collection has a pair of peach drop earrings that any Fashionista would love in her personal collection.
