Spent the day thinking about my comment after we FB'd this morning when I saw your comment come through my FB page.
There is a higher level and I am disappointed you didn't choose it. Not gonna pound on you cause it looks like an outright mud sling already went your way.
It however was way out of line for attacking the third party THAT WAS NOT PART OF THIS THREAD on another newspapers forum just because you got pretty smacked up on this one.
Keep it classy Mick.
Like I said this morning, I have read a bunch of your post but this one and the unwarranted sucker punch on the old story you left last night was way over the line. Now who went stalking who? You pulled a month old story on another newspaper to throw that vitriol.
Like I said this morning. Disappointed.

Deadline: 24/02/2013
Arquetopia Textiles & Fiber Arts Special Artist Residency - Puebla or Oaxaca, Mexico – Start Feb/Mar/Apr 2013
Learn and work with Mexican textiles and techniques, with specialized instruction, at Arquetopia.
Learn and work with Mexican textiles and techniques, with specialized instruction, at Arquetopia's premier art space in the multicultural kaleidoscopes of Puebla or Oaxaca, Mexico. Extendable 3-week terms to begin during February, March, or April 2013. Application Deadline Feb. 24, 2013.
Arquetopia is a nonprofit foundation run entirely by artists. Arquetopia's programs promote development and social transformation through contemporary art with a non-traditional, culturally diverse and multidisciplinary approach. Arquetopia offers artist residency programs of the highest quality, making its staff available and creating a community among staff and resident artists. Arquetopia's resident artist backgrounds are diverse in all aspects. As part of Arquetopia's mission is to promote diversity, artists from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East are especially encouraged to apply.
Puebla, known as the "City of Angels," is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that lies 136 km (84 mi) from Mexico City and has approximately 5,000 colonial buildings. Puebla is famous for a deep cultural identity, delicious cuisine, Talavera ceramics, and traditions rooted in the 16th-century Baroque and enriched by a blend of pre-Hispanic, Arabic, Jewish, French and Spanish influences. Accessible via two international airports in Puebla (PBC) and Mexico City (MEX), Puebla lies east of the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes, giving the residents a magnificent view of their snow-topped peaks. At an elevation of 2200 m (7200 ft), Puebla features a temperate subtropical highland climate, resulting in an average of only three days a year seeing temperatures rise above 29°C (84°F).
Oaxaca is a beautiful colonial city nestled in a valley in the Sierra Madre mountain range of Southern Mexico. Oaxaca is located 450 km (280 miles) southeast of Mexico City and reachable via three international airports: Oaxaca (OAX), Puebla (PBC), and Mexico City (MEX). Oaxaca boasts magnificent colonial architecture, the most outstanding example being Santo Domingo church and its former convent, now home to an impressive museum. The unusually colorful city and its surrounding areas also feature a high concentration of native Zapotec and Mixtec cultures and archaeological sites. Oaxaca was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 for its central Historic Monuments Zone and the archaeological site of Monte Alban. Getting around Oaxaca is easy and enjoyable; museums, studios, libraries and landmarks are all in walking distance. At an elevation of 1555 m (5100 ft), Oaxaca features a subtropical climate, resulting in mild-to-warm temperatures year-round.
The Art Production Artist Residency offers important professional opportunities for emerging and mid-career national and international contemporary artists age 25 and over. Our programs are oriented to promote social consciousness, and artists are strongly encouraged to address social themes as part of their artistic goals for their residency project. As Arquetopia's mission is to promote social transformation, understanding Mexico's context, and specifically Oaxaca's cultural complexity, is key for a successful cultural exchange. Since our approach is contemporary, we welcome artists from diverse disciplines (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, performance & time based work, etc.) who are interested in creating work with elements, techniques or processes that are specific to Mexico and/or unique to Oaxaca.
• Selection decisions are based on artistic work. Candidates at all stages of their careers (emerging and established) must display a demonstrated sense of potential. The residency is for artists who want to advance their work.
• The residency pool is diverse in all aspects.
• The residency program is an opportunity for artists to pursue their own work (especially work that in their particular circumstances would normally be difficult to produce), free from daily pressures; however, there is an optional structure of critical study during the residency, such as studio visits, visiting artists, etc. Residents are encouraged to work with the visiting artist/critic program.
• The creation of community among fellow artists and staff during the residency period is important.
Comfortable Accommodation and Meals:
Residents enjoy comfortably furnished bedrooms and use of Arquetopia's residency space including wireless Internet, lounge with TV/DVD and games, kitchen, dining room, outdoor terrace, and private bathroom with modern fixtures, shower, and hydro-massage tub. Housekeeping and most meals are also included.

Just a few days ago, I purchased "White Noise" app. I like the concept, but I only like a few of the sounds.
I just looked at Windows marketplace and see that White Noise 2 is there, and based on the description, it looks like it has sounds that are much more appealing to me.
What is the policy on upgrading? I only bought it on 11/10, and White Noise 2 says it was released on 11/1.
Thanks for your help.

I doubt that metal shelving would have any beneficial EM properties, and, in fact, might actually make things worse by being a capacitively coupled radiator. Trust in your FCC Class B cases... Actually, does anyone have any evidence of Electromagnetic Compatibility problems in a cluster? Lots and lots of computers, all with switching power supplies, running off fairly long extension cords all strewn about (neatly, of course), and the conditions are certainly ripe for EMC/EMI problems. Fortunately, the computers themselves are probably fairly immune, but what about other devices (i.e. does your cell phone still work standing next to your cluster?). -----Original Message----- From: Peter Eriksson <hpe at pdc.kth.se> To: Leonardo Magallon <leo.magallon at grantgeo.com> Cc: beowulf at beowulf.org <beowulf at beowulf.org> Date: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 9:23 AM Subject: Re: Computer Shelves >Hi! >Welll metal often have the quality of shielding some of those electromagnetic >fields commonly buzzing about a computing lab.

PICTURE THIS Have you ever wondered what it would be like to attend an art school? Are you curious to know what kinds of courses art schools offer, or what one must do to apply for admission? You can find the answers by visiting art schools on the Internet. Students attending art schools have the opportunity to explore various kinds of artistic activities, from painting and sculpture to drama and video production. Art school programs differ in many other ways as well. For example, some schools are conducted in the summer, while others offer longer courses of study. Visit several schools and find out all about them. You might even discover that you'd like to enroll in a particular school one day.

While probably not going to change anything, a recent study published in the Journal of Surgical Research has shown that decreasing work hours alone does little to perceived patient care.
Note the keyword above – perceived.
The study was conducted among 156 surgical residents and had an excellent 94.5% response rate and consisted of surgical residents already regulated by work-hour restriction (maximum 80-hour work week) and residents who had not previously been regulated by work-hour restrictions.
The problem is not in the decreased work hours. Anybody with any common sense is going to realize that you are more efficient and more on top of your game if you're well-rested. Just look at pilots in the commercial airline industry – they don't let those guys work insane hours.
The flaws in patient care were found to be primarily in communication among residents. More precisely, we're talking about cross-coverage and shit like that. In other words, whenever a resident passes on his census to a covering resident, that communication needs some improvement.
What's interesting about this study is that it looked at decreased work hours versus patient care. The study found no improvement in patient care with decreased work hours. Now, many will look at this and say "so decreasing work hours doesn't work."
Not true. Decreasing work hours is a reasonable method to ensure that residents provide better care to patients. The residents are better rested, have more of a life, and everybody wins.
Another study needs to be done that looks at improving communication among cross-covering teams. That's the real problem. Sure, it took this study to begin pointing that out, but let's not give decreasing work hours a bad rap for failure to provide patient care improvements.

Yes! Easiest question ever.It´s the most frustrating aspect of all the dupes supporting gay marriage and all the rest of their pet causes, especially the ones who maintain that you can simultaneously dilute and strengthen marriage.
Worked in the Black Community. Who needs dad when you´ve got uncle Sam? Government is already the father and trying to be the Father.
Yes, of course.
It´s simply and outrageous accusation to imply that leftists are trying to destroy fatherhood.After all - - wasn´t one of their very own - - Willard Klintoon - - just named Father Of The Year?
Doesn´t Isaiah speak of a time when women and children will rule?
A must read if there ever was one. Great links and references.
To a Lib, oh no, we´d never do that...when in reality they are doing just that.
The hippe/dippie ´60s - ´70s generation of unrepentant radicals are the tenured statist profs, pols and media/hollyweird/TV alphabets of 2013, ...and they still remain proud of a social agenda which they should be ashamed of because it is, ´changing,´ America the Beautiful into something unrecognizable. mmm mmm mmm

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank Petruzielo said in a release Tuesday he fully stood behind Barge's comments.
"It took a great deal of courage for the state superintendent of schools to take this stand advocating for critically needed funding for existing public school systems throughout the state of Georgia," he said. "We commend Dr. Barge for his challenge to state policymakers to make public education a priority and hope we can experience similar commitments from the state legislature and the executive branch."
Petruzielo said Barge's sentiment echoed a resolution passed by the local school board in April, which came out against the measure. The Georgia General Assembly earlier this year passed House Bill 1162, which put the measure on the Nov. 6 ballot for voters to consider.
"I'm also very proud of our school board for passing a resolution in opposition to H.R. 1162 that in many ways is a mirror image of what Dr. Barge is saying," Petruzielo added. "We've long been generating data at the local level regarding the importance of adequately funding public education, and such data now is being generated at the state level, as well. I hope all of this information is considered by voters in November and beyond."
In a release Tuesday, Barge said he opposed the constitutional amendment, which would give a state commission the authority to create and fund charter schools over the objections of local school boards.
He said he fully supports high-quality charter schools for Georgia students, but the amendment would create new and "costly" state bureaucracy that would take away local control of schools and duplicate work already being done at the district and state level.
"Until all of our public school students are in school for a full 180-day school year, until essential services like student transportation and student support can return to effective levels, and until teachers regain jobs with full pay for a full school year, we should not redirect one more dollar away from Georgia's local school districts — much less an additional $430 million in state funds, which is what it would cost to add seven new state charter schools per year over the next five years (the annual average of the Charter Commission that would be revived if the amendment passes)," Barge said in the release.
If approved by voters, Barge said the amendment "would direct taxpayer dollars into the pockets of out-of-state, for-profit charter school companies whose schools perform no better than traditional public schools and locally approved charter schools (and worse, in some cases)."
Barge said he trusts local school districts will approve high-quality charter schools and will work with those districts to ensure those applicants are not denied locally, including mediating between the two parties if local boards are reluctant to approve them, as provided by existing Georgia law.
After coming under scrutiny by Gov. Nathan Deal and Republican legislators for changing his stance on the issue, Barge updated the statement to include that his position on charter schools has been consistent since his campaign for office in 2010.
In a letter to Republican legislators, Deal voiced his disappointment about Barge's statement.
"I am discouraged that Superintendent Barge has changed his position since the campaign trail and no longer believes parents should have public school options for their children," Deal wrote. "His new position doesn't change mine. I stand with two-thirds of the general assembly and will uphold the promises I made when I ran for office: parents and students should have public school options; this is the best form of local control."
Barge's updated release provided his answer and explanation for his stance, which was included in the Georgia Charter Schools Association survey.
"I find it greatly disappointing that we need another administrative body to do something that the local, and ultimately, the state Board of Education should be able to do," Barge's answer to the survey state.
Cherokee school board Chairman Mike Chapman said he also agrees with Barge's analysis of the charter amendment.
"He has clearly delineated the position I have taken for the last year," he said. "Well done, Dr. Barge."
Chapman said the amendment runs counter to the true beliefs of the conservative movement.
"What really bothers me is the move by the Republican Party (to use) one loose plank in the platform to justify trying to centralize control and power at the state level," he added.
Chapman said he believes the state and local districts can improve public schools and have successful charter schools at the same time, but feels it should be in large the responsibility of the state and local delegation.
"Our leaders at the state level have rather blatantly ignored the systemic issues they created long ago with public education," he stated. "Instead, they have decided to reduce funding and dismantle public education rather than help fix what they created through underfunded mandates, regulations, union modeled pay systems, etc."
Vice Chairwoman Janet Read, who will take over as board chair in January, said she appreciated Barge taking a stance on the issue.
"It's very obvious that he is looking out for all students in the state of Georgia," Read said. "(His statement) also mirrors what we've been saying all along, that it's about the funding. When funding is taken away that we will be affected at local level."
Read also echoed Barge's support of quality charter schools.
"His stance, I don't view it as being against charter schools," Read said. "He's still in favor of them, it's just about the funding piece of it. He's obviously a great supporter of all students, teachers and really all the taxpayers in the state of Georgia because he's looking out for all of their tax dollars."
Other school board members did not return calls for comment.

"You could tell it was all starting to get to him, especially the hecklers. He's been as friendly as possible to everyone; he even nicely brushed off a swarm of girls trying to get a picture with him, but after all the commotion, he needed to take a break for some personal time."
"He sat down by himself, put his head between his legs and took a few deep breaths. But after that, it was right back to work — very professional."

This document provides some frequently asked questions about Sandra. Please read the Help File as well!
Q: Sandra stop with missing database/MDAC message! A: The resolution depends on usage:
Q: The Performance Tune-Up Wizard crashes! A: The problem lies with another module. If only one module crashes, the wizard will not work since it runs all enabled modules. First find the module with the problem and fix it (see below). If you cannot fix it, delete the module (select it and press Del). The Wizard will skip the module.
Q: Memory Bandwidth Benchmark (EMMX/SSE(2) version) crashes my OS with different errors! A: Your memory timings are too aggressive; set the BIOS memory timings by SPD and turn off any Ultra or Turbo options.
Q: Sandra BSODs with BAD_POOL_CALLER A: Make sure you're using video drivers with proper OpenGL support.
Q: Sandra crashes in Mainboard Information with different errors! A: Right-click module, select Options and uncheck Include Mainboard Info.
Q: Sandra crashes with an exception in MFCxx.DLL! A: See Install Problems.
Q: Modules System Information, Mainboard Information, CPU & BIOS Information crash. A: In module list (main window), right-click a module, choose Options and uncheck Include DMI Information. If it works, repeat for the other modules. Your BIOS does not support DMI properly in Windows. Find a newer BIOS version, and flash it. If no new version is available - contact your mainboard/system manufacturer. If you're running a version of Sandra earlier than 2.05, please upgrade to the latest version.
Q: Modules Mainboard Information and CPU & BIOS Information lock up! A: Try the following: in module list (main window), right-click a module, choose Options and:
Q: The CPU MultiMedia Benchmark module crashes on SMP box A: If the processors have different model/stepping versions, make sure the boot processor is the one that has the lowest version. If the processors have different feature sets, make sure the BSP (boot processor) is the one with the lowest feature set.
Q: The Network Information module locks! A: On large networks with many workgroups and hosts this module may take some considerable time to scan them all (2-10 minutes). So the module does not actually lock but takes a long time to complete.

Maybe it's because I have a somewhat high OC, but I've seen my power target reach 130% playing Dead Island. To answer Finner's question further though, my card has been boosting to 1256 MHz consistently so far, but I've managed to keep it cool with my custom cooling. Highest temps I've seen so far are about 62 degrees.
its set to +144 core and + 200 mem, neither of them are my maximum, just safe stable 24/7 clocks. I run a custom fan profile to keep it below 70 when gaming but it still will not boost to its highest which is 1229 until it reaches 62 degrees. if i leave it all at stock i think it boost to a maximum of 1084 but it has to reach 62 degrees before it will go that high, if its lower its slower EDIT* This is what i expect to see but mine doesnt seem to clock like the reference one TPU reviewed
Hmm, that is odd. I have mine at +145 core and its boosting to 1256. What are you using to test your boosts? It really depends on the game, I think. Some might be more GPU demanding than others. Might want to try something like EVGA's OC Scanner. Using their tessy test seems to be good at testing maximum clocks.
Just used OC scanner to get my card to plot and used Afterburner to plot it, each screen is taken when the speed changes, showing the speed/voltage and temperature. All at stock Initial boost, Next step up Max it boosts to, notice its at 62 degrees And then the normal throttle when it hits 70 degrees Do you think flashing my card with another BIOS would make it boost in the normal way? i have read about a certificate built into the firmware so dont know if flashing works on the 680's
From what I'm seeing that's perfectly normal (I think). It boosts to 1084 MHz until it hits 70 degrees, throttles to cool down, then boosts again. If you want to keep it at 1084 boost all the time you're gonna have to find a way to keep it under 70 degrees. That way it won't throttle and stay at the 1084 boost. I'll try to get some screenshots of mine in action as well. EDIT: Here it is. As you can see its staying at my boost clocks consistently. Temperatures are rising but it peaks at 59 degrees.
ahhh thanks for that, i was under the impression that it should boost the highest at the lowest temp but yours boost and then boosts a little higher when it gets a little hotter just like mine does. Mine does stay below 70 i turned the fan down the get to that temp so i could show it throttle. Have you let yours go to 62 or above and see if it boosts another 13Mhz like mine does? How have you got the bars to stay on showing the different values? i could make an all in one graph like yours if i can figure that out
I use EVGA Precision X to log my results. It creates an .hml file which I use Rivatuner to open and create the graph. Just click whatever points you want and it'll create the bars for you. Here is my GPU running the OC Scanner tessy test. Highest temp I could reach was 65 degrees. At 65 degrees I was still pushing 1245 MHz boost.
I have an EVGA GTX-680 card with an i7-3960 processor, 32 GB of quad-channel RAM. When I play videos, I see an occasional (1 every second or so, sometimes more often) horizontal line that look like a break between the upper part of the image and the lower part, as if the video processor can't keep up with 1920 x 1080. I have not encountered this with older cards. What is wrong? It appears that the card is skipping a line in different parts of frames. It is totally unacceptable performance. I don't know if they call this shearing or what. I just played the video on my wife's computer which has a $200 video card that is 5 years old, and the problem does not occur. This sounds like a catastrophic design flaw.
Of course! Welcome to the club. What you're describing is tearing. You're going to have to enable v-sync for your video player in the NVIDIA control panel. You can access it by going to Manage 3D Settings, clicking the program settings tab, adding your video player and enabling it from there.
Here is a screen shot of the problem. It's not a 3D video problem though, as this is just straight 1920 x 1080i video of flames. JJ
I'm quite impressed with the overclocking ability of this GTX 660M. It runs really cool too. Anyone else rocking a newer kepler based mobile gpu?
Are all high-end video cards of all brands subject to this problem? It doesn't occur on my old video card, which is a Radeon. JJ
All are susceptible to tearing in games, but I've personally never had it happen to me so noticeably in videos before my 680.
Zotac 670 4GB. It'll be installed next week when I get back home. And posting a gpu-z screenie. Pictures:
Is v-sync enabled in the scroll down menu? If not enable it and see if that works. I've never had the problem on my 680 or 670s. Not even in flash videos either. Congrats on the new card! Is it ok to show the last picture with the serial of the card? Just in case you have to RMA it someday? Unless you already registered it. Total noob at these things so please don't kill me if I'm wrong.
BlackPanther, JEJ, LordJummy Welcome to the club guys you all have been added to the TPU GTX600 Owners club list. Can't wait to see some benchs and reports on all of your new cards and chips!
I found the vertical sync menu and turned it on. That fixed the scrolling problem, where rippling was occurring, but it did not change the tearing. JJ
Hmm. Have you tried another video player? I personally use VLC. Might want to try that out and see if it fixes your problem.
I'll run some benchies on my lil' 660M heheh. I've been playing with it the past day OC'ing. It has really surprised me with its' power. It is competing with the gtx 670m but uses a lot less power, and runs way cooler. I'll post some screenshots this afternoon. Thx for adding me!

'Star Wars' returning to the silver screen( Chris Pizzello / Associated Press )
A new "Star Wars" trilogy is destined for theaters after Disney announced Oct. 30, 2012, that it was buying Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion.
"Star Wars: Episode 7" is targeted to open in 2015, with Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy serving as executive producer. George Lucas won't write or direct the films, but will serve as creative consultant. Lucas said that he has story treatments for Episodes Seven, Eight and Nine in the space opera, and that he is handing over a "treasure trove" of intellectual property to Kennedy. "I'm doing this so that the films will have a longer life, so more people can enjoy them in the future," Lucas said. "I get to be a fan now. I sort of look forward to it." The first six films in the "Star Wars" franchise have raked in more than $4.3 billion worldwide. Here's a look at how each of the episodes fared at the box office. |

Lake Stevens Chamber
accepts Legg's resignation
"My decision to resign as the Executive Director should not be interpreted as a lack of support for the Chamber of Commerce. This is a decision to take care of my family," Legg said.
Earlier in the year the Chamber of Commerce decided to hire its first ever paid Executive Director but to no avail. Then, in September, hired Legg to the interim position on a part-time basis. They are in the process of deciding where to go from here.
"We are going to have an annual planning meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 8." Incoming President Doug Warren said. "At that time we will be setting our vision for the coming years for the Chamber. We will be developing our plan for 2008 and discussing our budget. During that meeting we will discuss our needs as a Chamber for staff and how it fits with our long-term goals."
Blair Anderson, current President of the Chamber, looks forward to another successful year.
"We wish Robert the best," he said. "I am certain that we will continue to build upon our earlier accomplishments from 2007 and serve our members well in the future."
Legg was raised in Lake Stevens and returned with his family after serving in the Air Force. He served as Pastor to the Lakeside Community Fellowship church until resigning a year ago. He also ran for state Congressman against John Lovick in 2006.

Answer searching. I've been doing a lot of that lately. When to fight for what you believe and when to throw in the towel. It's not such an easy decision.
I've been blessed in a multitude of ways. But there are still occasions when I run into people who make finding the blessings and inspirations in life a bit harder.
What do you do for example, when you encounter publishers who take your story and run unpaid? Or former clients who yell and scream and call you names?
Guess you let the mad cover you and push you to jump even farther. I sometimes think it was serendipitous that I went to the Disney museum when I did. Seeing how cool and calm Walt Disney was when the people he trusted tried to steal his money, made that path seem a lot more attractive.
Yet, it's still a difficult decision to make.
How do you make amends with yourself, accept your mistakes, learn from them, and keep going without letting your emotions get in the way?
As 2009 quietly quells in the night, I look up toward 2010. May this year I learn to be more like Disney. Let the weaknesses of others, the disappointment and anger dissipate into the wintery rain. And my hope to find retribution through focusing on the future, hope and possibility of what can be versus what was, yesterday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Florida's Gov. Rick Scott is known for being a budget hawk, but we're learning his policies are costing taxpayers nearly $1 million in legal fees.
The number went up just last week when a federal court ruled Florida has to pay $190,000 in attorney fees to fight the drug testing of state workers. That's just one example, keeping the legal meter running.
Gov. Scott is rounding out his second full year in office, but in that two years, Action News has learned he's cost you upward of $1 million. It's all legal fees from controversial legislation.
Teachers were outspoken when Gov. Scott wanted to drastically alter the way they are paid. The union filed a lawsuit. One of the biggest legal battles is drug testing for those on welfare. Scott praised the idea in 2011. "It's the right thing to do, so I'm very excited about doing it because it's good for the taxpayers of the state."
While it was eventually declared unconstitutional, all this legal back and forth is drawing criticism. "It's just not good use of our money," said Joey McKinnon is with the Jacksonville Young Democrats. "I think it's disappointing Gov. Scott has chosen to spend money to defend his agenda," said McKinnon.
While the legal battle is far from over, McKinnon thinks this will weigh heavily on voters' decision come 2014. "There comes a point where we have diminishing returns. An example of this is the drug testing. While it could have benefits, most think it's ridiculous and not a good use of our money," said McKinnon. "I think taxpayers want Gov. Scott to focus on the real problems, like improving schools and getting jobs."
We reached out to the governor for comment on this legal spending, but we have not heard back from him yet. Many of these lawsuits filed are still working through the court system, so that number could go even higher.

International Buddhist Congregation Holds Flower Festival
The International Buddhist Congregation of Rissho Kosei-kai held its International Hana Matsuri (flower festival) on April 15 in celebration of the Buddha's birthday, at Rissho Kosei-kai's Former Headquarters in Tokyo. A total of 375 people took part, including foreign residents from 23 countries, who live mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The five guests of honor included Dr. A. Saj U. Mendis, deputy chief of mission at the Sri Lankan Embassy.
The opening ceremony began with an offering of lighted candles and flowers to an image of the Buddha by 26 foreign residents, all in the traditional costume of their respective countries. Eleven children in traditional Japanese costume then offered words of praise of the Buddha. During the sutra recitation, representatives of foreign residents from five countries, including Vietnam and Sri Lanka, and nine Japanese members recited together the Taking Refuge in the Three Treasures.
Dr. Miriam Levering, international advisor to Rissho Kosei-kai and professor emerita of the University of Tennessee, delivered a Dharma talk entitled "Why Was the Buddha Born?" Explaining the meaning of the kanbutsue, the ritual of pouring sweet tea over a standing statue of the infant Buddha housed in a small shrine called a hanamido, she said that the ceremony performed on the Buddha's Birthday reenacts the legend that when the Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha, was born in India, he was bathed in hot and cold water poured from above by two dragon gods. The ritual of bathing the infant Buddha also refers to another episode in the story of the Buddha's birth in which the newborn Prince Siddhartha immediately took seven steps, pointed to heaven above and earth below, and proclaimed: "In the heavens above and below the heavens, I am the world's most honored one. I will free all beings from birth, old age, sickness, and death." This statement by the baby Prince Siddhartha made clear that his buddhahood was near, and that his goal was freeing all from suffering. In Rissho Kosei-kai we believe that everyone has the buddha-nature, and everyone will eventually be able to make the same proclamation. Whoever acts to benefit others and cultivates empathy and wisdom can free others from suffering and attain buddhahood.
Rev. Shoko Mizutani, director of Rissho Kosei-kai International in Tokyo, told the participants that the Buddha promises happiness to all who walk the Buddha Way.

Former Gannon coach Jerry Slocum completed his second consecutive winning season at Youngstown State at 17-15 following the Penguins' elimination in the Horizon League playoffs. YSU received a bid to the CTI tournament, and defeated Oakland 99-87 before losing in overtime at home to Canisius 84-82, surrendering a 22-point lead early in the second half.
The 18-16 record was the best since the 1990s, and YSU did not have a winning season for 11 seasons until going 16-15 in 2011-12. The CTI tournament was the first postseason action for the Penguins since 1977. The 61-year-old is 92-152 at Youngstown.
Slocum came to YSU in 2005 after coaching Gannon for nine seasons (179-86, the last six clubs making the NCAA Division II tournament. He previously was a successful coach at Geneva College and Nyack. He has a record of 673-476 in 38 seasons.
Former Mercyhurst Prep star Josh Chojnacki was a reserve junior center with the club, seeing limited playing time.
Assistant coaches Mike Wernicki and Brian DePaoli are from Erie.

March 27, 2005The God Racket, From DeMille To DeLayAS Congress and the president scurried to play God in the lives of Terri Schiavo and her family last weekend, ABC kicked off Holy Week with its perennial ritual: a rebroadcast of the 1956 Hollywood blockbuster, ''The Ten Commandments.'' Cecil B. DeMille's epic is known for the parting of its Technicolor Red Sea, for the religiosity of its dialogue (Anne Baxter's Nefretiri to Charlton Heston's Moses: ''You can worship any God you like as long as I can worship you.'') and for a Golden Calf scene that DeMille himself described as ''an orgy Sunday-school children can watch.'' But this year the lovable old war horse has a relevance that transcends camp. At a time when government, culture, science, medicine and the rule of law are all under threat from an emboldened religious minority out to remake America according to its dogma, the half-forgotten show business history of ''The Ten Commandments'' provides a telling back story.

"Earle Brown belonged to a group of composers that today is referred to as the The New York School (the group active in New York in the 1950s that included Brown, John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Christian Wolff.) The works recorded on this disc represent several of Brown's compositional styles. At least one piece was selected from every decade of his career, from the 1950s to the 1990s. The ensemble size varies from one player to fourteen. Performers include Christian Wolff and vocalist Joan La Barbara, both of whom knew and worked with Brown for many years.
Brown first encountered the work of Alexander Calder in 1948, whose mobile sculptures Brown saw as a visual embodiment of the variable (impermanent) aesthetic that he was striving to create. This "Calder aesthetic" stayed with Brown throughout his several stylistic shifts. Whether he was writing twelve-tone serial music (Music for Violin, Cello, and Piano), conceptual graphic scores (Folio and Four Systems), composed material/open form scores (String Quartet, New Piece and Tracer), or "spontaneously composed" music (Special Events), all of his music shares Calder's sense of integral but "floating" variations, which Brown described as, "the construction of units and their placement in a flexible situation that subjects the original relationships to constant and virtually unpredictable, but inherent, change (the movement of the units as well as the movement of the viewer)."
Several works call for spatialized ensembles spread throughout the hall, perfect for the surround-sound medium. The classic tape piece "Octet" is presented in new high-resolution transfers from analogue tapes provided by The Earle Brown Foundation in its 4-channel mix by the composer.
The release of this DVD marks Ne(x)tworks' recorded debut. Ne(x)tworks is a collaborative ensemble of musicians creating and interpreting work that features a dynamic relationship between composition and improvisation. In performance and recordings, the group locates pathways into various types of notation systems and interfaces, striving for a meaningful dialogue with the past, present, and future of creative music.
Inclues a 36-minute video interview with Susan Sollins (Brown's wife and an expert on his music), Cornelius Dufallo (founder of the Ne(x)tworks ensemble and Brown's godson), and Micah Silver (former director of The Earle Brown Foundation) on Earle Brown's life and work. The interview, filmed in HD (high-definition) is presented in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio."-Mode Records

Have you ever ridden Gobbler Getaway and not picked up one of those turkey caller gizmos? (Repeat after me: We're not shooting turkeys, we're calling them!)
Have you? I didn't think so ... silly question, that.
Well. If you take away the interactive part of Gobbler Getaway, what you have left is a beautiful ride in the country.
Autumn Falls is the name of this colorful town; take a look:
A little side note: As Nathan was shooting video of this ride, he first rode in the turkey trotter (yes, that's what we call them; we are a theme park after all!) and then walked through the ride with his camera.
While shooting the "off board" video, Nathan leaned back against some of the scenery. As a turkey trotter full of Guests happened by, apparently one of the riders had good aim and "called" a turkey.
The turkey happened to be right next to Nathan, and as it popped up, it ... well, goosed him.
A fowl trick indeed!

SOURCE The Singleton of Dufftown
LONDON, October 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Research results prove environment affects taste and flavor
A change of environment can enhance the experience of enjoying whisky by up to 20%, according to the world's first scientific study exploring the senses and taste of whisky. The study has exciting implications for people enjoying whisky in their own homes, and for the way pubs, bars and restaurants could be designed in the future.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131009/644077-c )
Leading the study was Professor Charles Spence, Head of Crossmodal Research at the Department of Experimental Science at Oxford University. Professor Spence ran multi-sensory tests with sensory architects Condiment Junkie and The Singleton Single Malt Scotch Whisky, for participants at a specially designed bar in London. This study was followed by in-lab testing and, under both conditions, participants reported significant variations in their ratings of the scent, taste and flavour of whisky when tasting The Singleton Single Malt Scotch Whisky in different atmospheres.
The study notes the future possibilities for creating specific multi-sensory environments to enhance the experience of drinking complex liquids such as whisky. So whether one wishes to change the environment in which whisky is enjoyed by changing the lighting, putting on a special soundtrack, or even thinking about the surrounding scents - all can work to change the whisky experience.
Professor Charles Spence said, "We carried out experiments both in the laboratory and in The Singleton Sensorium, under more realistic bar conditions. The Singleton Sensorium saw people tasting The Singleton Single Malt Scotch Whisky in three rooms with very different environments: a grassy room laid with turf and noises of nature, a fruity room with red fruits and chiming bells, and a woody room with wood panels and sounds of crackling wood. Both sets of results confirm that it really is possible to enhance the drinker's experience by creating a rich multi-sensory environment.
"This sort of research has significant implications for anyone looking to enhance their whisky experience in a bar, restaurant or even from the comfort of their own homes. Notable chefs have embraced the potential when working with all the senses to deliver powerful tasting experiences," he said.
This latest research has been published in Flavour, a peer-reviewed journal from Bio Med. Velasco et al: Assessing the influence of the multisensory environment on the whisky drinking experience. From Wednesday 9th October, the study will be available to read via the following link: http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/2/1/23.
Notes to Editors
About The SingletonTM of Dufftown
Distilled in the Dufftown distillery of Speyside, where fine single malts have been produced since 1896, exceptional care is taken at every stage of producing The Singleton[TM] to create the best taste possible. Longer fermentation and slower distillation ensures exceptional smoothness and depth of flavour that creates a whisky regarded by many as the single best-tasting single malt whisky in the world. The liquid is then matured in a combination of American and European oak casks to ensure extra flavour and perfect balance. The Singleton word and the Fish and Gate device are Trade Marks owned by Diageo. @singletonwhisky (https://twitter.com/SingletonWhisky).

Silly absolutes in the bible
Did you know almost 50% of Americans believe that lung cancer is caused by little elves tearing holes in lungs, and not things like smoking? Well, the politicans elected by the tobacco lobby might like people to believe that. Did you know that 50% of Americans believe earthquakes are caused by a wrathful god, wait, a lot of Americans do believe that. I bring this up because almost 50% of Americans believe that the earth and the universe is less than 10,000 years old.
Anyone who believes that lung cancer was caused by little elves or food poisoning by a spell by a witch, would be laughed off as an idiot. But, we respect, for some reason, the belief that the earth is less than 10,000 years old. Contradicting all fossil evidence, all genetic evidence, all radioactive dating longer than carbon dating, but who cares what scientists say anyway?
Because it is a religious belief of unfortunately just over 1/2 of all American Christians, then that belief supposedly deserves some form of intellectual respect. No, it does not. Intellectual respect is only deserved for things that are built on a solid foundation of knowledge and reason. Talkorigins is a great website by the way, to learn about evolution. Oh by the way, music can evolve by people listening to random noise. People rate parts of the noise or sound and through steps, that eventually becomes music.
Lastly, I was just listening to conservative talk radio while writing the above part, and I heard a guest talking about atheists. Of course, whenever the Christian right-wing talks about atheists/atheism, you should be as careful as walking around fields with a lot of bulls.
He believed that atheists opposed Christian religious symbols put up by the government (such as 10 Commandments displays on public courthouse lawns) because atheists are supposedly afraid of any religion with moral absolutes. Really, that's it. Us atheists are just afraid of the great moral virtues in the bible. Here, are some of them by the way.
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
" Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)"
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT) "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."
So, the moral absolutes into the bible are killing anyone who rejects verdict of judge or priest or who strikes his dad. Also, if you rape a woman, make sure you have some silver, and you are all good. Yes, the bible does have absolute moral rules, stupid ones, but absolute ones none the less.
