Although drinking fluids is absolutely crucial to good health, and water is often the healthiest certainly the lowest-calorie option, using tap water rather than bottled water is important for both our health and for the health of our environment. If taste is an issue, filtered tap water is a solution.
Commercial water bottles including the small ones we carry around and then throw away, the larger gallon-sized bottles we may buy for our refrigerators, and the larger 5-gallon polycarbonate containers found in offices and other public spaces often are made from plastics that leach chemicals like Bisphenol A, which is known to mimic hormones, and which has been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer and other diseases. Leaching of chemicals from plastic bottles is particularly common when the plastic bottles are warm, as can happen when bottles sit in the sun. If you are using a plastic bottle and the water or other fluid inside it smells "plasticky", dont drink it! Your nose is telling you good information about the presence of contaminants in the water.
Of course, there are loads of other reasons for not drinking bottled water whenever possible. Tap water is often as safe or safer than bottled water, as public water sources are closely monitored and the results of quality testing on these waters are available to the public. Similar testing and disclosure are not required for bottled water.
And of course, the plastic required for commercial bought bottled water is a huge drain on natural petroleum resources, and adds enormously to our communities' waste burden.
To take water on the go, invest in a cheap, high-quality stainless steel water bottle, or another reusable BPA-free water bottle.

The sys admin's daily grind: Dstat
More Stats
Occasional worries about the system status are part of the sys admin's daily life, and admins usually keep a fat toolbox of top and stat tools to alleviate them. Charly says he can manage with just one multitool – for the time being, at least.
How many times have I written about tools that have "top" or "stat" in their names? It feels like umpteen times. Today, Dstat [1] makes it umpteen+1. This tool, which many distributions already have in their repositories, claims it will save me the trouble of making that umpteen+ 2 times, while sending many system reporting tools into a well-earned retirement.
Although Dstat suffers from no shortage of parameters, I first called it without any. The results are lines of the most important system data written once a second (Figure 1). But, if you want to drill into the depths of the network, you can use the ‑tcp and ‑udp switches. Using ‑N eth1 restricts the output to a single interface. As for the network, other parameters can help bring details to light for all other system components.

I am interfacing TSC2046 with Atmega16 and sending the command word 0xDF( to measure X) and 0x9F( to measure Y) through SPI bus. I am using SCK as 2MHz. But I can not receive the SPI data properly according to Touch screen and sometime the busy signal remain high and receive 00 or invalid data. The PENIRQ signal is working. What is the duration of remain high of busy signal?Please help me regarding this issue.
Hello Dhiman,
With command word 0xDF or 0x9F, you were using the single-ended mode, which is not recommended for touch function.
Suggest using the command word 0xD0 or 0x90, for 12 bit resolution; or 0xD8 or 0x98 for 8-bit resolution. For multiple reading, the PD0 should be set between samples. For example, if you would like to sample 3 times on 12-bit X data, the command words should be: (1) 0xD1, (2) 0xD1, (3) x0D0.
For your 2MHz DCLK, the duration of each DCLK is 0.5us. Note that, refer to Figure 9 on pg 15 of the d/s, the TSC2046 ADC takes 3 DCLKs (or 1.5us) to sample at the touch signal in a touch command, which is the minimal edge of the specification (Table 6 at pg 18 of the d/s). You may use a little slower DCLK rate to get more margin here.
The busy pin is redundant and something from the developing history of this device.The busy signal is always from low to high at the falling edge of the 8th DCLK, and from high to low at the falling edge of the 9th DCLK. Thus you should ignore it.
Regards,Wendy F.
Thank you Mr. Wendy
What is the recommended rate of DCLK to get appropriate data for TSC2046?
You are more than welcome!
Anything up to 2MHz should work. For test purpose, may you try 1MHz to give the TSC enough time, and tell me if there is any difference?
:-) I know Mr. Wendy the difference can not be detectable but I want the system to run at optimum speed.
Now, please suggest me one thing. How much delay should I use between transmission and receive of SPI data to avoid erroneous result. I am using 4us @ 1MHz DCLK but I am not receiving desire data at same touch i/p.
Thank you again.
As long as the DCLK rate is slower than 2MHz, the performance should be fine. However, you mentioned that you could not receiving desired touch data, which make me wondering what exact problem do you have? Is the data too noise? Or ...?
If the touch data is too noisy, the app note sbaa155a (http://www.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?literatureNumber=sbaa155a&fileType=pdf) may help!
Dear Mr. Wendy
I have already read the app note and I am designed according to it. I also connect the capacitor to X+,X-,Y+,Y- of the touch screen. When there is no touch I am receiving Y=127 and X=000. There is same value somewhere in between two distinct points. I am sending the command word as you told. I don't understand if there is problem with touch screen or my SPI protocol. Please suggest me the duration of delay between sending the command and receiving the data.
Dear Dhiman,
The minimal durance for data acquisition is 1.5us, as specified in Table 6 (pg 18) of the d/s, which is the time between the falling edge of the 5th DCLK and the falling edge of the 8th DCLK.
May you please send me the related PCB schematic; and the related software source code? Just for curious :-)! Thanks!
Sorry -- just want to emphasize that: the higher capacitance on the touch input lines are usually do more "bad" than "good", and thus do not add caps on the X+/X-/Y+/Y- lines unless absolutely necessary. A good practice on reducing the noise there is: (1) to have good PBC layout practice, especially good grounding; and (2) to design the analog interface as simple, as short, as secure as possible.
Dear Mr.Wendy
Sorry for delay reply. I was too much busy. I have attached the corresponding file that you asked.
Thanks for your info, which is a great help for this debugging!
Based on your schematic and software source code, I think I could totally understand why your reading is X=0 and Y=127 when there is no touch.
(1) based on the schematic, I can see you are not using the /PENIRQ pin, then your software would not know when to read from the TSC. If the touch is not applied on the panel while the X or Y is read, the X data is read from the Y+ pin which is pulled low at Y- (refer to Figure 10 of the d/s) and thus you get X=0; and the Y is read from the X+ pin which is pulled high by the 50K or 90K internal pull-up resistor and thus you get Y = 255 (the full scale at 8-bit resolution).
(2 based on your software source code, it seems you are using only 16 bits in a frame and thus you missed the LSB, which appears at the 17th bit of the DCLK after /CS low, refer to Figure 11 or 13 of the d/s. Therefore, your max is 127.
My pennies:
On hardware schematic,
On software side:
// when /PENIRQ = 0, send convert X commandSPISS = 0; // make sure slave is selectedspiComm(0xD0 | TSCConfig); // send commandresh = spiComm(0x00) & 0x7F; // clock out 8 zeros - read 1/b11-b5...resl = spiComm(0x00); // clock out 8 more zeros - read b4-b0 + 3 zeros...if (twelveBit){ read_data[1] = (resh*256 + resl)>>3;}else{ read_data[1] = (resh*256 + resl)>>7; } SPISS = 1; // deselect slave // check and find /PENIRQ = 0, send convert Y command SPISS = 0; // make sure slave is selected spiComm(0x90 | TSCConfig); // send command resh = spiComm(0x00) & 0x7F; // clock out 8 zeros - read 1/b11-b5... resl = spiComm(0x00); // clock out 8 more zeros - read b4-b0 + 3 zeros... if (twelveBit){ read_data[2] = (resh*256 + resl)>>3; } else{ read_data[2] = (resh*256 + resl)>>7; } SPISS = 1; // deselect slave
Hope the above helps!
I think I have still bug in my code. It will be grateful for me if you share whole/total code from TSC2046EVM firmware for my reference.
Sure, I will send the TSC2046EVM-PDK firmware source code to you directly, because our firmware source code is not for public. May you provide your email address?
Thanks,Wendy F.

Marina Dunes RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
A little pricey, but this is a really nice park with great facilities. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cookies are always available. Wonderful, inexpensive restaurants in the area. We would definitely stay here again.
Northridge, California
Walnut RV Park
[ 1/10 ]
Not sure this is exactly a review, but RVers should know that the office for this campground is closed on Sundays. We were contemplating a move here from Malibu but based on the reviews at this website, we thought we better look at it first. When we arrived, there was a couple in an older, small RV who were wondering what to do, as they had found the manager somehow, and were told no camptsites were available. By the time we arrived, the manager was unavailable and a sign said the office was closed on Sundays. No one stopped us or asked who we were, so we decided to drive around to check it out. The reviews here are pretty accurate from what we could observe, but I would worry about security since we could have been robbers and no one even looked at us twice. However, it should be noted that we observed that at least 10 sites were empty, despite what the other couple were told.
Malibu, California
Malibu Beach RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is a beautiful park, but not really suitable for a stay of any length unless you are a family with kids. Not all that much to do in the Malibu area for grown ups except to relax and enjoy the view. We changed sites 3 times and the hosts were very accommodating. We finally slected an Ocean view because we fet the extra cost was worth the unobstructed ocean breezes. Very different prices depending on location and whether you have electric and water, or full hookup services and those prices rise considerably on weekends. Internet was best experienced in any RV park, and channel selection and reception were decent for cable TV. Our son visited us for a few hours and was charged an additional $10 for parking. The security seems extra tight to the point of being disconcerting. Husband had to wait in line for a shower on a Saturday night.
Coalinga, California
Sommerville Almond Tree RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
We agree with other rececnt reviews. This is just about the the ONLY place to stay in that long stretch between Corning, CA and the Los Angeles outskirts. The owners are very kind and considerate. The WiFi was decent, the bathrooms were old but usable, and the swimming pool water was clean but cold.
Corning, California
Heritage RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
We agree with the other comments made about this RV park, especially difficulty finding the entrance. This is the second time we stayed here, and I can't emphasize the conveninece of the local amenities. Easy walk or drive to shopping and convenient entrance and exits from gas stations. and since it was our second visit, found it right away. The staff was the same as two years ago and is friendly and helpful. Only criticism is that there are few cable TV channels and internet service goes in and out.
Eugene, Oregon
Premier RV Resorts of Eugene Oregon
[ 7/10 ]
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The park was clean, including the shower facilites, but there was almost no water pressure in the showers. WiFi was poor as was the cable TV reception. Very few channels available.
Bakersfield, California
Orange Grove RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
Of all the campgrounds we have stayed in since aquiring our motorhome two years ago, this is our favorite. The staff is delightful, the sites are level and separated by orange trees, and the oranges we picked, delicious. Bakersfield is simply a stopover for us when we are heading further south, but we would go out of our way to stay here again. The restrooms and showers are immaculate. WiFi and choice of TV stations are both excellant. Our only criticism is that the washing machines and dryers need cleaning as they reek from fabric softener.
Desert Hot Springs, California
Caliente Springs RV Resort (55+ park)
[ 8/10 ]
This is the second year we stayed at this park. Last year we stayed only two weeks; this year an entire month. It is specifically for people over 55, and the quiet reflects that. The price quoted reflects a rate for a monthly stay, not including electricity, which, if one stays for a month or more, is metered and paid for at the conclusion of one's stay. The cost of electricity for our month, mid January through mid February was $55. We have two complaints about the park. One is internet access. It is simply inadequate for the number of users. Our major complaint is the ventilation of the laundry room. I am allergic to the scent of many detergents and fabric softeners, and these scents seem to permeate the outdoor area where the mineral hot spring fed pools and hot tubs are. For this reason, we will probably not return next year. For anyone who uses these products and is not sensitive to this issue, this is a lovely park with the very nicest people.
Santa Barbara, California
Ocean Mesa Campground at El Capitan
[ 8/10 ]
Generally speaking, this is a very nice park. Sites are large and very private with shrubs in between sites. We also liked the placement of large trash cans in between sites near the road so that one could easily dispose of trash. The park is VERY clean. We were here over Presidents Day weekend, and being retirees who live most of the year in a retirement community, we simply are not used to so many children, and the noise they create. Additionally, this campground does not provide very much in the way of choices of TV stations. For $70 per night, I think they should provide at least basic cable.
Penticton, British Columbia
Wright's Beach Camp RV Park
[ 2/10 ]
We were there off season and not sure if the managers were the usual managers or substitutes. The park is beautifully situated on the beach on a lake, but the sites are the narrowest sites we have ever seen. We were camping with another couple and could not fit our 29 foot motorhome in the site next to their 5th wheel as it was so narrow. I did one load of laundry there, but almost did not because the laundry room was filthy. I did not use the ladies locker/toilet/shower room, but my husband used the men's and complained that it was also extremely dirty. The managers had two pit bulls which were allowed to roam free. One pit bull attacked the dog of our friends grabbing it by the neck. Our friend kicked the pit bull until it released his dog. The manager apologized, but never chained up his dogs. The campground claims to be family and pet friendly, but we think it is dangerous. We saw very small children playing in the same area where the pit bulls had been roaming free, but not at the same time.

When Pluto crosses the ascendant in Capricorn
Dec 16, 2010, 09:43 PM »
My ascendant is in Capricorn. From an evolutionary perspective, what is an expectation I can have for my life when Pluto reaches my ascendant, or is at an angle to affect me? I hope my question makes sense to those of you out here! Thanks!

Hi kjbem
You can expect that the life that you have known up until that point, the person you have seen yourself as, will end. Seriously. I have Asc in early Sag. I've been through this.
That may sound scary. And it will feel that way at times. But I suggest to people having this transit that, as best they can, look at it as an exciting adventure. Because the natural time for a very long past is coming to an end. One is forced by life circumstance to break free from much of that past. many things that used to work will simply stop working. Being in Capricorn, major changes to the structure of that life will require adjustment. The more one is able to cooperate with this process, the more at peace with it they will feel. It is definitely an adjustment.
The intention is for major changes in the life of that Soul, over time a whole new reality, directions, orientations forming.
Jeffrey Wolf Green taught that the maximum pressure or difficulty in the life of a person with that transit occurs 18 to 20 months ahead of the exact aspect. (Note to others reading this: that statement was made only about Pluto crossing the ascendant, not about other Pluto aspects and not about other planets crossing the ascendant)
If you happen to have Jeffrey's book Pluto Vol 1, read the section towards the back of the book on Pluto transiting through the first house. It starts on page 314 in my copy. Also read the long section Pluto in the 1st House natally, towards the front of the book. Although you don't have Pluto in the 1st house natally, the 15 years (plus or minus) that Pluto will be transiting through your 1st house will have you feeling and driven very much like what you will read about Pluto in the 1st. The difference is that because it is not your natal signature, it will be an overlay ON TOP OF your natal Pluto/nodes signature rather than being your core itself. You will be feeling Aries-like much of the time. And you are SUPPOSED to feel that way - that is the point of the transit.
take care,

Hi kjbem,
Just to add to what Steve has said ...
How you might feel about the process he describes will be determined to an extent by the condition of Pluto in the natal chart.
If you have many aspects from Pluto to other planets in your chart, especially to personal planets, you will be more used to Pluto type energy/experiences as a result, than if you have a lightly aspected Pluto. Also if Pluto and Mars in the natal chart are in a major or hard aspect (conj, opp, trine, square, semisquare, sesquiquadrate, inconjunct, sextile) then you will also have probably had strong evolutionary type experiences in your life before as a result from this too. All this would add up to being a person who knows through previous experience the turmoil and often deep gut level, very disturbing effect Pluto energy can have on themselves when it is activated in one's life.
So if this were the case, with Pluto crossing your ASC you might feel more prepared (internally) for the approaching tsunami in your life. In fact if all the above were true for you, and you are a positively inclined person, as the process unfolds and these deep changes start taking place, you may recognise the great blessing that this transit can be - it will bring a huge rollercoaster of energy into your life that makes great personal and world changes now possible. You might come to feel that, without this energy now available to you, you would otherwise never be able to make such changes and benefit from such profound and rapid growth. There could be a feeling that the energy this transit brings into your life is a great gift, and not a drop of it is to be wasted, as once it's gone you will be left with only your "normal" energy and power, and there'll never be the exact same opportunity again, not one involving the conjunction to your Asc anyway.
But if the natal chart is not a strong Pluto type chart, and you haven't had any major Pluto transits up to now, then this transit may be a very new and eye-opening time for you, where, for the first time you come up against the full impact of the evolutionary force of Pluto. If that is the case, hang on to your hat, take many deep breaths and be prepared to learn a huge amount about how Pluto energy renders the past ways of being and doing things, approaches to situations, inoperable and recreates something new in it's place. Again if viewed positively, you'll probably come to view these changes as invaluable ... although it may be much later in the piece that this really becomes apparent.
Either way, as Steve has said, big changes are inevitable.
Also, as Pluto will be conjuncting your ASC at the same time it will be opposing your Descendant. Some of these changes are highly likely to affect all your relationships, some of them directly.
Just the fact that you are enquiring ahead about all this, suggests you have already begun to cooperate with the process. Best wishes with it all !

Hi Sheryl
In my post above I specifically said
(Note to others reading this: that statement was made only about Pluto crossing the ascendant, not about other Pluto aspects and not about other planets crossing the ascendant)
What I said is true from my perspective. It is true that Pluto crossing any angle or entering any house or changing signs or conjuncting squaring or opposing a "personal planet" is going to have a profound effect on a person's life. But Pluto crossing the ascendant is, to me, a unique case. (Perhaps Pluto conjunct the moon would be something similar in nature.)
That said, the nature of Pluto is death - rebirth. Some of what we hang onto for security reasons that no longer serves our evolutionary intentions is simply removed from the life, with or without our cooperation. One learns that whether or not I cooperate it happens anyway. And that its easier to get through the changes by accepting them. Its still uncomfortable at times however. That is the main reason I see TO cooperate. From the human perspective, other than that it doesn't make a lot of sense some of the time.

I'm presently experiencing this transit as Pluto is around 3 degrees applying to my Asc. I can understand what Steve said about life up to that point will end. While I have merely just begun this process I can see many parts of me dying. There's been a lot of material/financial loss and career/work loss. Being that we are talking about Capricorn rising I can see the relative function for such losses. Maybe it's just me through having a rather afflicted or challenging Saturn, but I have never really handle failure well. However, through this particular experience I have come to see that failure is just some twisted perception or collective lie I have believed. There was an enormous amount of anger that surfaced from within me at first, but through it I found the light. There's now an enormous relief and sense of peace. Can you imagine what life/creation would be like if there was always this strong fear of failure in the depths of ones mind? What a massive creative block, what hell that is! That is however one of the more shadow functions of Capricorn/Saturn.
While my life is literally falling apart and I'm experiencing a lot of loss in many areas of life, I can truly see that this is one of the greatest gifts the Universe is giving me. It's almost like my slate is being wiped clean...like I'm standing in an empty room, the walls all around are canvas, and I hold a pallet of fresh colorful paint. The prior pictures were not 'really' all mine. The beliefs, thoughts, judgements, and fears of others had somehow crept in and tainted my picture. With Pluto heading to the first, it's our time to reclaim power and create a picture based on the truth and frankly our truths not others.

Just one more tidbit to share regarding this transit. I do have natal Saturn Rx 7th house, Pluto Rx and NN in Libra with Venus Rx/SN/Chiron on my IC. Libra Pluto squares my Asc/Dsc, and trines Moon, and Saturn has been conjunct my Pluto. I lost my house, work, financial resources before Saturn came to Pluto. I've been a highly independent single woman for a very long time. Well, Saturn to Pluto with pluto to Asc has changed this significantly. It brought me a partner, and one unlike any I've ever had. I'm now in an extremely deep and intimate relationship. Well what's 'really' the reason for relationships? Some of the most intense changes that have really started to take place within me are indeed these deeper truths about me that have been surfacing via my new partner. I've always attracted very strong Pluto types, but he's unlike any partner I've ever experienced. He's so deep and soul penetrating, but in the most subtle, sweet and gentle nurturing way. I just can't hide or avoid him, and there's a tremendous amount of mutual love and support. I've never really had a real relationship in the form of an equal partnership. While this is becoming the most beautiful bond shared, it sure has brought out so much fear and anxiety out of me that frankly has disturbed me. I'm just surprised I have not scared him off! Rather, he has been nothing but supportive and seems to be apart of a deep healing process I'm going through. There's lots of Chiron activity happening with this Pluto transit as well, and I do realize I have yet to 'really' feel Pluto to my Asc but it's getting closer indeed. I just thought what a way for Pluto to throw me face to face with my deepest fears than through a new partner!

Hi dissolved
I just found your post. I wanted to add that you are in a very good place (this message board) for someone experiencing what you are. Here are people who understand what its like to go through what you are entering into, who have survived it on their own journey and come out the other side, who have seen the changes the Pluto transit brought into their lives mature and change their direction and focus.
You may find some topics that have already been discussed in depth on this board will help you during this transition. Feel free to ask questions about any of them, even if they are old.
We are here to teach and learn about EA. And a big piece of learning EA is applying it to one's own life. You are welcome to talk about that here.
Hope you find things that are of value to you here.
take care

I'm really curious how the Uranus square Pluto will modify transit Pluto conjunct Asc transit or if would significantly modify the energy? For instance, the Pluto/Uranus squares will occur within a degree or two before, then after my Asc with the peak falling exactly on my Asc. This coincides with my Pluto/Pluto square as transit Uranus opposes natal 9th Pluto. That just seems like a lot of Pluto-Uranus at once. Has anyone experienced such a force? I can't imagine...

I am learning from each of you and I appreciate your personal responses to my questioin.
I have always had work that in some way connects me to death and dying. I have Pluto in the 8th house in Virgo, so I think that may be what Steve means about the natal position of Pluto and how it affects this transit.
I am able to be with others in their grief - one person has said, after l walked, over a period of 3 years, with her in grief in the loss of her husband: "you are not afraid of my grief." I am also able to talk about death and dying with others, and I am able to face squarely with others their own journey toward death, or to be with them as they face the journey of loved ones, even their children.
So as Pluto "scrapes" through my 12th house now, and over the coming years, I wonder what work it is doing in my unconscious?
Thanks to each of you for your thoughtful answers.

Hello to all Wise Souls on this forum!
I am very glad I can join your community-I am sending greetings from Europe-I am posting for the first time here; I have been following the EA for years and I very greateful for all the amazing advice and great atricles you are sharing on this forum.
I very appreciate your post on Pluto conjunct ascendant, and for all your replies. I am living, breathing walking example of Pluto-Uranus square-I have 20' Capricorn rising and 11' moon Aries.
Interestingly, I found that changes described by Steve have all happened around year 2010 when the Pluto entered Capricorn and Uranus Aries, with last half a year strongly rebuilding, me-optimistic and seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
So, nearing to Pluto approaching to the conjunction, I can hardly imagine that I will have to go through all that process again
I will write more on typically archetipically and politically I have experienced the Uranus-Pluto-I will prepare a full post on the insights I gained from this square, and how I see it works for all my generation of Millenials.
Thank you again for your insights, I am glad I can learn more about Astrology here, gaining from your insights, I also look forward to be a positve contribution to this forum.
Greetings and Blessings to Good Souls on this Forum!

What Happened the Last Time the Climate Changed
In a relatively short time, global emissions of carbon dioxide increased massively. Through the greenhouse effect, they raised temperatures around the planet by an average of 7 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit; they also changed the chemistry of the oceans, triggering a surge in acidity that may have led to mass extinctions among marine life. Overall, during this era of rapid change, global sea levels may have risen by as much as 65 feet.
Reading this, you could be forgiven if you assume we're talking about a scenario related to the present-day climate crisis. But the previous paragraph actually refers to a 20,000-year-long period of warming that occurred 55 million years ago, an event scientists call the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (or PETM for short). Scott Wing, a paleobiologist at the Natural History Museum who has studied the PETM for more than 20 years, says, "If all this sounds familiar, it's because it's essentially what we're doing right now."
As we embark on an unprecedented experiment with the Earth's atmosphere and climate, the PETM is suddenly a hot topic among scientists in many disparate fields. "It's an event that a lot of people are interested in, because it is the best example we have of a really sudden global warming connected to a large release of carbon," Wing says.
Although scientists still don't fully understand what triggered the PETM, it is clear that more and more carbon was injected into both the atmosphere and the oceans, initiating the climate change. This carbon may have been supplied by volcanic activity, the spontaneous combustion of peat or even the impact of a particularly carbon-rich comet. Additionally, the initial warming likely led to a release of methane gas from the seafloor, acting as a positive feedback that led to even more climate change. It's also clear that all this warming wreaked havoc on the world's ecosystems, leading to extinctions and altering the ranges of numerous plant and animal species.
There is, of course, one key difference: During this previous episode, all that warming took several thousand years. This time, carbon emissions are rising ten times faster than during the PETM, with the warming happening in a century—the geologic equivalent of a blink of an eye.
Scott Wing researches the PETM by digging for ancient plant remains in Wyoming's Bighorn Basin. Over several decades of work, he has constructed a general picture of what types of plants thrived before, during and after the warming period, attempting to identify the sorts of trends in plant life we can expect as we change the climate going forward.
"During the warm period, essentially none of the plants that had lived in the area previously survived—their local populations were driven extinct," Wing says. The area had been dominated by ancestors of the types of plants that live in temperate deciduous forests today, such as dogwood, sycamore and redwood trees.
But as the region heated up, these were replaced by a variety of plants related to the present-day bean family, most commonly found in warmer, drier areas such as southern Mexico or Costa Rica. "We believe that what happened is the dispersal into this region of plants that were living somewhere else, probably much farther south," says Wing. His team has also uncovered evidence that the warmer climate led to a greater level of insect pest damage on the plants that did survive the PETM.
His research has, however, turned up one trend from the PETM that could be a reason to hope ecosystems can someday rebound from climate change. After roughly 200,000 years, long after the PETM subsided and temperatures returned to normal, many of the temperate plants that had lived in the Bighorn Basin finally returned.
"One possible explanation," Wing says, "is that there were cooler climates in the nearby mountains that served as refuges for these species." In that scenario—one that he and his research team plan to more closely investigate as they continue to excavate and piece together the fossil record—these types of plants would have waited out the PETM in the relatively cold highlands, then returned to recolonize the basin afterward.
If our climate continues to change as rapidly as it has over the past few decades, though, such a scenario seems less likely—immobile organisms such as plants need hundreds of years to gradually migrate from one area to another. Thus, one key aspect of preserving our planet's ecosystems, in addition to limiting climate change as much as possible, is slowing it down as much as we can.

More extreme weather, rising seas, and escalating risks to our health. That's what we can expect as climate change gets worse. http://clmtr.lt/cb/pOt0Rp
We are causing the same amount of warming in one century than it once took 20,000 years to reach? If this isn't a wake up call, than I don't know what is. Articles like this are tough to read and digest, but as a species we must become informed on the TRUTH of what we are doing to this planet and we must act in ways that not only limit climate change as much as possible, but also slow it down as much as we can. It's a human rights issue. It's time we exercise our rights and force action on climate change NOW. Just as Treebanker mentioned: More extreme weather, rising seas, and escalating risks to our health. That's what we can expect as climate change gets worse. http://clmtr.lt/cb/pOt0tz

And yet the world kept spinning and life found a way like it always does.
Interesting article, but please, your site is read by many of us around the world using the metric system who have no idea what Fahrenheit and even miles mean. It is no fun to have to reach for a converter while reading your articles. i wish that you will in the future give all measures in the two systems. Thank you for a great site!

Two hikers admiring the views (Picture BC photo)
Valemount has a variety of hiking options, ranging from gentle walks and short treks to groomed mountain trails and multi-day backcountry exploring.
Local guides (sometimes assisted by pack-horses) are also available to lead hikers into high-country alpine areas.
Jackman Flats and Robert W. Starratt Wildlife Sanctuary are best bets for leisurely strolls. Jackman Flats (13km/8mi north of Valemount) combines sand dunes formed by glacial deposits and swamplands, which makes for some interesting flora and fauna. Located next to the Best Western Hotel at the southern edge of town, off Highway 5, the wildlife sanctuary has 6km/4mi of flat hiking trails, with two lookout towers. Other easy trails include Rearguard Falls Trail, Little Lost Lake Trail, and Mica Mines Trail, as well as Robson River Walk, Kinney Lake Trail, and Fraser River Nature Walk in Mount Robson Park.

Swift Creek Trail and Pack Saddle Trail are well suited to intermediate hikers. Swift Creek Trail is 10km/8mi long and has a great lookout over the river to see the town of Valemount. Pack Saddle Trail is 6km/3.7mi long and twists through the forest at Pack Saddle Creek. Advanced hikers can challenge Mount Terry Fox or Mount Trudeau. Mount Terry Fox is 13km/8mi round-trip, and has some rough and steep sections. Mount Trudeau is a more technical six-hour hike to the mountain's summit. The trails are not visibly marked.
Headwaters Outfitters offers guided multi-day hiking trips that are fully catered and tailored to the interests of each group. At Dave Henry Lodge, guided backcountry hiking trips feature pack-horses to carry heavy camping gear. Hike Inc. offers one-day and longer guided tours through the Mount Robson Provincial Park hiking trail system and the Robson Valley. Robson Helimagic helicopters hikers deep into the Selwyn Range and the Rocky Mountain Ranges, just outside Mount Robson Provincial Park.

Many people do not realize the importance of using soft water filtration systems to neutralize hard water. Harmful diseases and damages to the plumbing system can occur from regular exposure to hard water. But choosing a water softener is not a simple task. There are many factors to consider before buying one and here are a few of them.
Factors To Keep In Mind:
The system must be able to eliminate Calcium and Magnesium from the water effectively.
- It should eliminate bad odor from water.
- It should be able to get rid of lime-scaling.
- It should be easy to install and maintain.
- It should have a competitive price tag.
- It should be capable of treating large amounts of water without much delay.
It makes sense to install a water softener in the house because of the numerous benefits coming out of it. There are many companies in the market that manufacture various water filtration systems using different technologies. For more information about the systems, you can visit http://www.softwaterfiltration.com/. Installing a soft water filtration system will definitely improve the quality of your life and eliminate a lot of hassles. Just keep the above factors in mind before taking out your wallet.

As energy prices rise and green credentials come under scrutiny, each step in the energy path is being examined for inefficiency. Andy and Courtney listen to Paul Panepinto from Green Plug on their technology.
Green Plug have developed a digital controller to optimise the conversion of electricity between AC and DC. For the non-engineers, AC (alternative current) is what is in your wall socket and DC (direct current) is what most of your gadgets use. All those power bricks and wall warts are transformers combined with AC to DC converters to change 110 V AC to 12V / 5V DC.
Green Plug has pioneered the use of intercommunicating digital power and load processors to optimise the AC-to-DC power conversion and increase efficiency. It's an area that has been typically overlooked in power management but Green Plug has reduced the implementation cost to make the inclusion of the technology cost-effective. Over the next few years, it's likely that this technology will start to appear laptop and phone chargers, so keep an eye out for it.

This is nonsense: user-defined datatypes do not cause any overhead if you don't use them, there are ways to implemenent them very efficiently, and you can't do without in many situations (like MPI-IO). > e) get rid of one-sided communications: if someone is serious about it, > it uses something like ARMCI or UPC or even low level vendor interfaces. Instead, I propose to rework the MPI one-sided communications for a more simple and flexible semantic. The current definition does not match todays network capabilities, but was designed to allow a simple implemenentation for slow/non-RDMA networks. > Rob, you are politically connected, could you make it happen, please ? > :-) One person alone can't do this. The best place to discuss such things is the MPI users group meeting (EuroPVM/MPI, this year in Capri/Italy). Also, adding mpi.h to the standard to define an ABI is a good thing.

By Jon Dana Benson
Linda was about to walk out the door.
She had her clothes tossed carelessly into an overstuffed Tumi bag she "borrowed" from Robert, her very soon-to-be ex-boyfriend. It was his favorite travel bag; one that his brother had given him last year and that Linda herself had helped to pick out.
After three pretty good years, wave after wave of intense emotions were now crashing down on the shores of Linda's heart…
…mostly due to one, small word:
Robert had just dropped the 'other' F-bomb on Linda. The one that destroys hearts, trust, security and attraction. If that wasn't bad enough, he added another word; one I dare not repeat.
As horrible as this scene had played out, Linda decided to take a personal inventory of her life when she got to her sister's house:
"Am I seeing myself clearly in the mirror each morning? Sure, that jerk deserved to be dumped… but what about those 3 pairs of "fat-jeans" in my bag?"
Linda's jeans were going UP in sizes these days, not down. They had been going up for seven months now.
The pain of losing a loved one because we feel "fat" is nothing new. Our feelings will always bleed over into our relationships, even into our best relationships.
And while you, like Linda, never deserve to be labeled as "fat" by your significant other, the real question you have to answer no matter what is…
Are you heavier than you'd like to be?
Being overweight is nothing to put on the back-burner. Every day the seconds are ticking off that clock we call "life"… and every day that you are not living in the body you deserve is a day spent in needless worry, uncomfortable clothes, and even emotional pain.
The solution? It's closer than you think and a bit easier to implement than you may believe.
And it's kinda fun to boot.
The trick is to create a diet plan you enjoy; one that YOU own, not one that owns you.
And, the way to pull this off is by making small changes every week to your existing eating patterns.
Face it: You're probably too busy and a bit too drained energy-wise to dive head-on into yet another deprivation diet, right? So why not try something new? Something unique?
Something that works.
First: Get a journal. You'll need one for a few weeks. Just write down the changes you make and how you feel at the end of the day about those changes. Be sure to keep the changes you make on day 1 throughout all three days. Same goes for day 2 to day 3.
Then, do this for the next 3 days:
Today, day 1, increase your water intake by 3 glasses. That's it. Do everything else the same. Easy, right?
Tomorrow, day 2, replace your breakfast (especially if you usually skip it) with 1 apple or 1 pear, 10 raw almonds, and a small cup of non-fat yogurt sweetened with Stevia (an herbal sweetener you can get at most any Whole Foods or other related markets.) If you are still hungry, add a second apple. This is just for a few days, so don't worry. But, you'll find the energy increase so incredible you may just keep it permanently.
The next day, day 3, add a large salad to your last meal. Anything is fair game as long as it has ONE ingredient in it. Use olive oil and vinegar for dressing. Fresh veggies, a bit of fruit, some nuts, spinach leaves… it's all good. Eat anything you desire AFTER you consume the entire salad.
That's it!
I want you to keep these three things in your lifestyle eating plan for six days. Then, take a day off to eat whatever you like.
Obviously, there's more to the story… but this will get you started in a way that's super easy, tasty, and completely stress free.
You are going to want to pick up a copy of my bestseller, "The 7 Minute Diet". Inside you'll discover what science is revealing about what I call "The New Diet Paradigm" -- how more energy is the key to greater weight loss.
We reveal 21 simple things you can do in just 7 minutes a day to increase energy and fat-burning using our "un-diet" methods.
Here's where you can learn more (go here now while it's fresh on your mind):
http://www.7MinuteDiet.com/WMO; <--- Your weight loss starts HERE
Look, you know it's fun to be the hit at the party. The person others are talking about… ("Hey, did she lose weight?"… "Has she been working out?"…. )
It's great to be the star of your own life. Stars always get the great questions… the quality time… the fascination remarks...you know, the juice of life! The good stuff!
Here's your call to join millions of Americans, men and women, as they not only reclaim their bodies, but also their hearts and minds.
It's a call to a new start- a more complete, healthy life.
And it starts with those very simple dietary changes I just gave you.
While you're making those changes, read "The 7 Minute Diet" to see how you can burn more fat using "energy principles" -- simple changes that do not involve radical dieting or exercise.
It's a great place to start.
We'll discuss incorporating fun, enjoyable, body-shaping activities into the plan in a future article.
I'll put it this way: You can have an excellent body by exercising only 7 minutes a day (at home or in the gym) and walking 4-5 times a week.
Enjoy your week of renewed energy and more comfort in your clothes.
Almost nothing beats that feeling!

The College is frequently asked about the use of prescription drugs in dentistry.
The College's Policy Statement on Prescribing and Dispensing of Drugs contains practise parameters and standards that should be considered by registrants in the care of their patients.
The Controlled Prescription Program was established to prevent forgeries and reduce inappropriate prescribing of selected drugs.
Dentists who wish to prescribe any of the monitored drugs must subscribe to the Controlled Prescription Program by ordering their duplicate prescription forms through the College. Prescription forms are personalized and numerically recorded, and the prescription pad must be maintained intact in chronological order.
