All this week, we're bringing you stories from the Key West Literary Seminar which runs through this weekend. Shayne Benowitz originally posted this piece on the KWLS blog.
Reading Pico Iyer's The Man Within My Head is one way to get under the influence of Graham Greene. Another is by sampling the cocktails at this year's seminar.
If you think writers from all around the world have been descending upon Key West for 31 years to escape cruddy winter weather while knocking back a rum runner or two and discussing their work, you probably won't get an argument from them.
The Key West Literary Seminar attracts some of the finest authors – and their fans – for two consecutive weekends.
This post is featured thanks to our friends at the Key West Literary Seminar. Read more of their material here.
The work of a biographer might seem straightforward enough. Although the general public might consider the genre a sub-category of nonfiction writing, the best works transcend that title, and stand apart as a class of their own. Biographies contain facts and historical documentation about the life of particular subject, and in this way meet the criteria for nonfiction. In a talk at the Key West Literary Seminar on Saturday, however, acclaimed biographer Jay Parini declared, "All biography is a work of fiction. It's an illusion of a life that may relate to reality."
Those of us who speak more than one language are aware of the power and issues related to translation. For many of us it is a constant internal dialog, full of traps and the dangers of double entendres. The anxiety that the process brings about is the very reason why skillful translators are so valued.In it's essence, the act of translating is a multi thronged process. There is the literal, and then there is the intangible, the true root that translation attempts to illuminate. In the end the translation inevitably fails to some degree to reach this ultimate goal.
Just because you can't drive down for the 31st annual Key West Literary Seminar, doesn't mean you can't take part.
WLRN is teaming up with the KWLS folks to bring the conversations online.

Just a friendly reminder that if you think you might want to run the ING New York City Marathon (Nov. 1), you only have a few days to get in your lottery application. Having run it twice, I can tell you two things about it:
1. It's not a race to run if you want a PR, or are on the cusp of a Boston qualifying time.
2. If "1″ doesn't apply, then it's a race I heartily recommend. The crowds are tremendous and the sights are breathtaking — like this image of the start of the race as runners cross the Veranzano Narrows Bridge from Staten Island into Brooklyn. (O.K. you won't see this EXACT image unless you're somehow hovering over the proceedings, which I'd imagine would be against the rules.) Anyway, it's just a plain old fun race to run (assuming you don't consider "fun" and "running 26 miles" an oxymoron).
The best part is, if you get selected in the lottery and have to cancel, you're guaranteed entry in 2010. Nevertheless, with some exceptions, the only way to enter is to be selected by lottery and you have to enter that by 11:59 p.m. on June 1 — Monday, to be exact. Go to the marathon's website to apply. http://www.nycmarathon.org/
And if you want to run a marathon this fall but don't see yourself being in a New York state of mind, check out this post from a couple weeks ago: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/running/2009/05/14/fall-marathons-already/

We have worked with our barefoot movement expert Lee Saxby to answer some frequently asked questions on how to walk and run barefoot. If we haven't answered your question, please Ask our Expert
Going Barefoot
Barefoot Running
- I want to start running barefoot - what do I need to do?
- How do I warm up, before a run?
- How far should I go, to start off with?
- What are the most important things to think about when running?
- Do I need to change my technique? Is posture important?
- I'm worried about impact, as there's no protection. What are the dangers?
- I'm worried about stepping on glass / needles / debris when wearing VIVOBAREFOOT shoes. Do I need to be worried?
- I have an injury or pain. What should I do?
Going Barefoot
Why is barefoot better?
When walking barefoot, we walk correctly. This means landing softly on the heel and using the power in your toes to push off. When we walk this way we tone muscles, increase sensory perception, improve posture and strengthen core. Wearing traditional shoes with inflexible soles, padded heels, and arch supports prevents this motion, weakens the foot and ultimately causes injury.
Barefoot Running
I want to start running barefoot - what do I need to do?
Firstly, don't think about lacing up in your heavy, padded running trainers. Instead take off your shoes and let your feet breathe.
You need to start from scratch by resetting your posture and relearning your innate running technique.
You'll need to gradually strengthen your core and leg muscles, and lower-leg tendons and ligaments. The soles of your feet will also slowly adapt and act as natural protection.
How do I warm up, before a run?
You need to spend at least 5 minutes resetting your posture and tuning into your body's natural elasticity and rhythm. Watch Lee Saxby's training videos to see the best way to prepare.
How far should I go, to start off with?
There is a natural temptation to run as far as you would have in your running trainers. It is important to refrain from doing this and approach the initial stages of barefoot running with caution. If you do too much too soon you are likely to injure yourself. The reason is you have more than likely spent the majority of your life in conventional shoes. Your muscles, tendons and ligaments will probably be weak and unable to support your body in the early phases of barefoot running training.
What are the most important things to think about when running?
Posture - Lead with your chest, keep your head up whilst looking toward the horizon. To help with posture think about keeping your ears as far from your shoulders as possible (don't stretch though). Footwork - Take light, short steps. You should be landing flat footed with the weight on the ball of your foot. This is the hard piece of foot directly behind your big toe. If you jump up and down on the spot a few times you'll find it.
Do I need to change my technique? Is posture important?
More than likely, yes. We spend our modern lives hunched over a desk and it is more than likely you will be running in this posture. Take five minutes doing the simple exercise demonstrated above to 'reset' your posture.
I'm worried about impact, as there's no protection. What are the dangers?
Heel striking or landing heavily will hurt and a natural shift to mid/fore-foot striking is likely to occur. Modern trainers encourage you to heel strike, which is effectively like coming to a stop with each pace. When you land with the front of your foot you use your arch and the muscles and tendons in your foot to absorb impact naturally. A good running technique will enhance this. (Lieberman)
I'm worried about stepping on glass / needles / debris when wearing VIVOBAREFOOT shoes. Do I need to be worried?
They allow many of the benefits of barefoot running as well as protection from sharp and potentially dangerous foreign objects.
I have an injury or pain. What should I do?
Stop; listen to your body. If something hurts then it probably means you are doing or have done damage. Re-evaluate your technique and take an extra rest day and try again. If the pain returns; stop again and consult a doctor or physiotherapist. We also suggest asking our expert, Lee Saxby, he maybe able to offer some valuable advice.
I normally wear insoles in my shoes. Do VIVOBAREFOOT shoes support my feet even though they do not have an arch support?
People with chronic foot injuries are often prescribed orthotic support. While this can be beneficial in the short term, many people wear orthotics permanently, which can be detrimental to foot strength and health. We recommend a gradual transition back to barefoot walking leading to stronger and healthier feet. If you are in any doubt or have any serious medical conditions, please consult a specialist.

The Amazing Adventures of Kalvalier and Clay |
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is about two cousins, Josef Kavalier (Joe) and Sam Klayman (Sam Clay), who go into the comic book business hoping to make their "big break" and earn some money. Drawing is their passion and they write and create characters based on their own lives. By the end, they've produced many, best-selling, heroes, such as the Escapist, The Monitor and Luna Moth. They meet Rosa Saks, who also goes into the business, and b... The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay To say that Josef Kavalier - Jewish refugee, novice escapist, artistic prodigy and vicarious proponent of truth and justice - led a remarkable life understates the intensity of Michael Chabon's main character. Upon escaping Nazi persecution and meeting his cousin Sam Clay (also artistically gifted), Joe finds love and inspiration in New York City and launches a blend of pulpy nonsense and high social commentary via his comic book hero the Escapist. ... The Mysteries of Pittsburgh Art Bechstein can't escape the scrutiny of his father, a mafia accountant, can't seem to sustain a relationship with his girlfriend, and can't shake a growing attraction to his new friend Arthur. Things get even worse when another of his new acquaintances starts to see Art as the key to the big time in his father's crime syndicate. ... Wonder Boys Michael Chabon's outrageous novel Wonder Boys is about the weird and absurd world of writers. Professor and author Grady Tripp is a spaced out pothead blundering his way through life, like a fast moving powerboat motoring into port casting a wake that disturbs everyone and everything it passes. His link to two men in particular is the background for the lost weekend that changes his life forever. Terry Crabtree, Tripp's long-time editor and friend...

This legal complaint was filed on November 16, 2004 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) against "the people," or the unknown offenders of piracy in the U.S. It is important to clarify that it was the MPAA who filed the complaint on behalf of the studios it represents. The Document is outlined by three different sections: 1) Jurisdiction and Venue, 2) Parties, and 3) Count I: Infringement of Copyrights. The document references itself as, "a civil action seeking damages and injunctive relief for copyright infringement under the copyright laws of the United States." The complaint also states that the MPAA is targeting the Defendant (the people) for specific film piracy actions such as distributing and offering to distribute copyright works via the internet. A particularly informative portion of the "Parties" section of the formal complaint consists of a description of how the Plaintiffs (the studios) are affected by the Defendant. Described in this section is the fact that piracy allows people to freely and illegally obtain unauthorized copyrighted works. The Defendant then has the ability to distribute the illegal copy in near perfect condition regarding both sound and picture quality. The Plaintiff's main argument here is that just one copy of a film can cause an explosion of illegal distribution worldwide by limitless people. Included under the Infringement of Copyrights is an equally as informative explanation of willful process of the Defendant's piracy acts, and how the court should go about punishing those said acts. This formal complaint document shows how Hollywood is reacting to the piracy movement, and what measures they are taking to fight against it.

Pushing the limits of GeForce 8 series, XFX today released Fatal1ty Professional Series GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB, the world's fastest 8800 GTS card. The GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Fatal1ty (pn: PV-T80G-G1D4) comes with 15% higher performance than the standard 8800 GTS. It even clocks higher than XFX's very own XXX Edition 8800 GTS. The card is painted in red and comes factory clocked at 650MHz core and 2GHz memory. Source: XFX
i'd TOTALLY pay a premium for a RED cooler! yeah fatality ROCKS! As borat would say.... ....NOT! Who the F' would pay for this, when they could probably get a 640MB version cheaper?
I already have a evga 8800 320 mb one thats factory oced at 576 and it runs hotter then hell but stable. can imagine how warm this this runs.
Fatal1ty gear is for n00bs with too much spare cash! WTF does Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel know about hardware, f*ck all thats what! These companies slap a sticker of his mug on a graphics card, whack the price up to that of better card and expect peeps to buy it.....and the worst thing about it is, some suckers fall for it!
Mine has a red cooler and goes a damn site faster than that! Probably get a 640MB for near to that price.
...and while we sit here making fun of him and his products, Fatal1ty is probably sleeping surrounded by hookers on a bed stuffed with money.
his hookers run on mac OS. they might look good, but try and mac them play any fun games and watch them fail...
Well they may be using different and better capacitors but not so much better to justify the price. You pay the name and thats that.
fatality won a USA quake 3 tournament, and was deemed the worlds best gamer. that was years ago, and one FPS game - the "worlds best gamer" should play more than one game...
I was deemed Athens best NFS player in 1996 , if i knew it i would sell my nickname too...Hehehehehehehehe

The longest blog post in the history of blogging
Posted in Discovering Europe with tags adventure, beach, friends, Greece, Italy, Romania, Toulouse on July 25, 2011 by ehh36Finally, an update! Long overdue, I know. But between Italy, Romania, Greece, coming back to France, and preparing to move to Bordeaux on Thursday… life has been outrunning me for about a month now. To really do the last four weeks justice I would have to write a book. For now, I'm settling for a few paragraphs.
We can start with Italy, the first country on the Master Vintage program's tour. Keep in mind, the three and a half weeks I was traveling was with a group of about thirty five other students from a university in Angers, France. They are all studying various aspects of wine making from enology to marketing. Of the thirty five students, 17 different countries and close to ten languages are represented. Luckily, English is one of those languages spoken by all.
Travis, the other student from Cornell (and only American) joining me on the program, and I left Toulouse the morning of the 26th of June. We took a train from the Toulouse station to Piacenza, Italy. I won't take the time here to detail that day, but I will tell you it was twelve hours long involving three trains and playing charades with several Italian train conductors. Regardless, we finally reached Piacenza that night and met up with the rest of the group at our hotel. The next morning we were off and running with an introductory lecture at the local university on Italian wines and the commercial market.
The basic idea of the three weeks was to tour wineries in all three countries and compare and contrast operations, marketing, vine techniques, and management strategies. Wineries in all three countries varied in size from ten hectares to several thousand. So we would get to a country, get on a bus, visit a winery, get back on the bus, usually drive for an hour, visit another winery, drive a few hours, stop at a hotel for the night, wake up, get on the bus, drive another hour or so, visit another few wineries, stop at another hotel…. And so on. Although it was a lot of time on the bus, never staying in one hotel longer than two nights (except in Greece when we based our excursions for the week out of a hotel in Athens), I appreciated how much of each country we saw in a week. No day was similar to the one before and all the people we met astounded me with their generosity and willingness to share their life with us.
Italy was beautiful and by far the most similar to France in terms of culture, geography, and language. It was also HOT. Pushing 40 degrees Celsius everyday, I could jump in an ice cold shower fully clothed and 15 minutes later be completely dry. Aside from that, I loved Italy. The wineries and vineyards we visited that week were in the beautiful, rolling hills of the Piemonte region. We also saw bigger operations in the flatlands of Emilia Romagna and vineyards nestled into the foothills of the Alps in the north.
My favorite spot, however, was not any of these wineries. One night, driving on the big highway that winds through the Alps just south of Austria and Switzerland, we stopped in a small, mountain town. After stowing our bags in our rooms for the night, several of us headed out to find dinner. The town isn't very big, probably four or five hundred people, so we quickly found a pizza and pasta restaurant with menus in either Italian or German… needless to say we just ordered a plain pizza in broken Italian and enjoyed the views of the Alps surrounding us. After dinner we headed toward the center of the old town, containing a cobblestone square and a modest gothic church. After reaching it, we noticed a few side streets winding up the hill so we took one and decided we couldn't get lost in a town that size. We ended up halfway up a small hill on the west side of the village where we could overlook the entire valley, bathed in the warmth of nighttime street lamps. The stars overhead were bright and easily visible in the emptiness of the mountains. If Thomas Kinkade had been standing there with us I don't think even he could have done it justice.
Next on the list was Romania. We hopped a plane from Venice to Bucharest and arrived within a few hours. If I had to pick a favorite country of the three, it may have been Romania. It was dirty and poor, there are more starving dogs roaming the streets in packs than people, and farmers still herd sheep and drive their crops to market with a horse and cart. Yet, Romania felt like home. They are hardworking people, living close to the land, with a fierce sense of nationalism. Their meals, if they are well off, consist of no less than three courses and the lay out for breakfast could be mistaken for dinner at a restaurant.
On the Fourth of July, while most of America was barbecuing and lighting fireworks, we were on the bus in the middle of the Romanian countryside. With the nearest city more than two hours away in any direction, we opted to stay the night in a large house/gas station/bar owned by the manager of a winery we had toured earlier in the day. The bar happens to be off the left wing of the gas station and directly under where our rooms were located. Knowing we would not get any sleep with the sound of loud Romanians pounding their mugs of beer on the bar, out of tune with the lively polka-like music coming out of the ancient stereo, we decided to join them. And what a Fourth of July it was. We met several Romanian farmers, none of whom spoke English except for one man who spoke close to five words, which consisted of 'jump!' every time we were supposed to kick our legs to the music, 'New York City!' whenever he saw me, and 'America!' whenever he saw anyone else. His wife was also the one who spent the better part of an hour showing us how to dance like proper Romanian women, arms crossed, shoulders straight, bouncing in place, legs unhinged at the knee, kicking left, right, up and back at different intervals.
After the mild culture shock of Romania, Greece was it's own breed. Unlike the previous two countries, we stayed the entire week in one hotel in a shady part of Athens. Drug dealers openly sold their goods on the street, prostitutes cat called anyone within ear shot as soon as eight pm every night, and I saw more homeless people than Italy and Romania combined. Yet, I could walk for 15 minutes down the main street around the corner from our hotel and be surrounded by Americans in the square below the hill from the Acropolis. And the touristic part of Athens was stunningly beautiful with an old-world feel. Roman ruins dot the hills and if you close your eyes for a moment you feel like you will open them to an Athens run by the world's oldest society once again. It was a strange dynamic.
Our professor in Greece (we had a different one meet us in each country) felt that because Greece was a hot country and we had been virtually homeless for two weeks, we could use a break. So everyday he scheduled us two winery tours in the morning and an afternoon at a different beach. It was a relaxing week and a great way to wind down the three-week trip. We walked all over Athens, stopping in every little shop we found, and also visited the new Acropolis museum and the Acropolis itself. Coming from a relatively new continent such as America and being in Greece, so rich in history, was breathtaking for me. I could spend a year pouring over the old texts and studying the thousand-year-old sculptures in the city.
Our study trip ended on Sunday the 17th of July. Yet, some of us weren't quite sure we wanted Greece out of our system so fast. So we found a ferry to Spetses Island, off the southern coast of Greece, and decided to soak in the sun and ocean breeze there for a few days. Spetses, as I'm sure is true with most of the Greek Islands, is a little piece of heaven. It has one road, about an eight km circle, and most of the island is uninhabited except for the beautifully restored old mansions and vacation homes surrounding the port on the south side of the island. Spetses also has close to 15 beaches. Wanting to see all of them, but not willing to walk in the heat that was bearable only because of the ocean breezes, we rented motorized scooters. Scooters and quads are the only form of transportation on the island besides the taxis… horse drawn carriages. Unfortunately, even these three days came to an end and we found ourselves back on a ferry headed to Athens once again.
At the Athens airport, I finally split from my new French friends and found myself alone for the first time in three weeks. Wanting to save money, I decided not to pay for a hotel room Tuesday night and instead pulled out a jacket and towel from my suitcase and bedded down against a wall near the Departures desk. You wouldn't believe how many people opt for sleeping in airports; it's a relatively safe option and totally free of charge. Next time, I'm bringing a sleeping bag and a pillow.
My flight arrived in Paris Wednesday afternoon and I wandered the streets, with my suitcase in tow, for a few hours before taking the night train back to Toulouse. After two solid days of travel, I moved back into the student dorms I had been living in three weeks earlier. I have a meeting with the French office of immigration on Wednesday afternoon and if that goes well, I move to Bordeaux on Thursday to start my internship. I'm so excited for this next adventure; Bordeaux is a wonderful region with rolling hills and 18th century castles nestled into woods and vineyards around every turn.
Although this may have been the longest blog post in the history of blogging, I barely scratched the surface of the past month. It was a whirlwind of an experience, and I met so many genuine people. We are truly blessed to share this beautiful world together.

Resort Matelasse Coverlet
Superb Quality
I was very pleased with this purchase.
The quality of the fabric is excellent.
The sheet set is so comfortable to sleep in!
I would highly recommend this purchase.
September 30, 2013
satisfying purchase
I wanted something attractive that I could use during the summer, as well as, during the winter on top of the comforter. The most important thing was that it be light weighted to meet those criteria. I have not washed it yet but when I do even if it shrinks somewhat, it will still be large enough; it is very generously sized. Love it. It also looks very luxurious. I am very pleased.
September 24, 2013
Great Purchase
Resort matelassé coverlet - great colors. Light
weight - good for spring & summer. Great price.
Everything I have ever purchased at Frontgate has
been of the highest quality.
August 11, 2013
Exceptional Quality
This matelasse coverlet and shams are not only beautiful to look at, but are exceptionally well made. They are heavy enough to hold their shape, yet have a comfortablel softness to them. Since they are generously sized and have ample allowance for shrinkage, they need to be washed before use in order to fit properly. Love everything about them!

Beautiful coverlet; careful of the size
This is a gorgeous coverlet. I ordered the Estate blue shams and cover and they are beautiful. we have a king size rice bed with a tempurpedic mattress (which is very think). I wanted the spread to go to the side rails on the bed and not hang below them. The King size coverlet is very large and hung well below the foot and side rails on the bed. It made making the bed difficult since the cover had to be folded to use up the excess. I was going to take it to be altered and decided to wash it first. I am so glad I did. The coverlet shrunk about 10 inches in length and width and it is now perfect! Please keep this in mind. If the spread had fit, I would have been very disappointed in the shrinkage. It worked out great for me.

Thin bedspread, not a quilt
Because this was listed as a matelasse, I assumed it was a quilt. It is quite beautiful - better than even in the photos, but alas, it is a thin bedspread. Customer service was splendid about returning it.
If you are looking for a thin matelasse quilt that can offer gentle year-round warmth for your bed, you may want to try something else.
February 27, 2013
Wow, this fabric is gorgeous!
I ordered the white Euro shams. The fabric is just about the most beautiful, soft, and high end matelasse I have ever seen. It is very dimensional and the swirls are more shiny than the general background which creates depth and interest. Only gripe is it is envelope style and does not have buttons to keep it closed and it gapes open in the back.

pillow shams
We've had them about three months now. Fantastic. They still look like new. The color (dark brown) has stayed deep and crisp. They seem quite wrinkle resistant - we lean up against them to read and they stay neat looking.

Bed size?
Thank you for answering my question about which pieces are shown in your photo, but I also wanted to know what size the bed in the photo is so that I can decide which size pillows to get for a queen bed.

Can you tell me what the configuration of the bedding in this photo is? Is it a king or queen bed? I am trying to have the same look on my queen size bed, but cannot tell if the shams and/or pillowcases are King, Standard or Euro. I like the embroidered sheet pillow cases, as well as the matelasse coverlet shams.

HOUSTON (AP) - Toney Douglas had a season-high 22 points and Greg Smith added a career-best 21 to help the Houston Rockets overcome a tough outing by James Harden and rally for a 107-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
The Lakers had a 13-point lead with less than 10 minutes to go. But Houston used two big runs, including a 9-2 spurt capped by a 3-pointer from Douglas to take its first lead of the game - 100-99 - with about 2 1/2 minutes left.
Dwight Howard made three free throws after that, but a bucket by Smith and four free throws by Houston put the Rockets back on top 106-102. Kobe Bryant hit a 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds left to cut the lead to one.
Bryant fouled Douglas and he made one of two free throws with 8.8 seconds left. The Lakers had a last chance, but Bryant missed a 3-point attempt before Metta World Peace missed a layup to give Houston the win.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) The private student loan market, which is a fraction of an overall market dominated by federal loans, is poised to expand following a shake-out during the 2008 financial crisis. Sallie Mae, Wells Fargo and Discover Financial are some of the student lenders that are exhibiting strong growth in a spiking interest rate environment, where rising rates on federal loans are tied to rates on U.S. Treasury bills.
Private lenders do not extend the same protections available in federal loans. Income-based repayment programs are not available, and private loans come with variable interest rates that penalize borrowers with limited means. Private lenders account for roughly 7% of all loans, with the market estimated to be worth about $165 billion.
Meanwhile the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau appears to be making a significant difference for student borrowers jammed up by these loans. It has helped 330 people of the 4,311 who made Web-based complaints receive monetary compensation. The median amount of relief was $700, and maximum relief was over $75,000. More than 500 people got some form of non-monetary relief.
These were some of the findings contained in the U.S. Public Interest Group's report on private student loans based on complaints made to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Website. The report, "Private Loans, Public Complaints," was released this morning and is based on data culled from the CFPB's Consumer Complaint Database. Consumers log in to the CFPB's Website to lodge their complaints, which are tracked by the CFPB based on how they are resolved.
Chris Lindstrom, U.S. PIRG's Higher Education Program director, was effusive in her praise for the CFPB complaint data base. "They are leveling the playing field for the aggrieved borrower," she said "A year and a half ago, if you're were having problems with your lender, if you were trying to work out a modification and the lender was completely unresponsive, you literally had no recourse. Now you can log in a complaint at the CFPB's Website. The CFPB will actually get in touch with your lender, give you a case number and advocate on your behalf."
"As an example, we're able to go to their Website and use their data to do this report that details complaints on a state-by-state basis," she continued. "That lets us determine which private lenders are the most complained about. This is the first time we've been able to see this information."
Some of PIRG's findings were unremarkable while others were surprising. Sallie Mae, with an estimated 50% share of the private student loan market, drew the most complaints from CFPB users, although its share of total complaints to the CFPB was lower than its market share.
"Sallie Mae is a behemoth in the market place so you expected that they'd have a lot of complaints," said Lindstrom. "But we've also found that the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Authority, the PHEAA, is the second-most complained about lender behind Sallie Mae. Here is this state-based non-profit, now becoming the second most complained about lender in 28 states. Who knew?"

Osho,Sitting in front of you, I feel something tremendous is happening to me, which I don't understand at all. I feel so thankful, but I don't know why and for what. Tears are coming, but I cannot see any reason. I leave discourse with unsteady knees, as if I had done twenty-four hours' hard work. But what happened? Is it a matter of my undeveloped awareness that I don't grasp what is happening, or does my mind want an answer where there is no answer?
It is one of the perennial questions that you have asked. Every seeker on the path, one day or another stumbles on the same question. It is the mind which wants to know everything, because the knowing mind becomes powerful over what it knows. Then that becomes its own territory. But existence consists of three layers: one is that of knowledge – that which has already been known. Mind is perfectly at ease with it. The other is the territory of the unknown, which will become known sooner or later: what is known today was unknown yesterday; what is unknown today is bound to be known tomorrow. Mind is a little uncomfortable with it, but not much. It knows that, although it is still beyond its territory, it cannot remain beyond its territory much longer.
The first territory belongs to all the religions of the world. That's why they are all past-oriented. They don't have any tomorrows, only yesterdays.
The second category belongs to the scientific world. They are perfectly at ease with the yesterdays, because the tomorrow is going to be based on the yesterday. But their focus is on the unknown. That is the adventure of science, to go on conquering the unknown and making it known; in other words to demystify the universe. That is the basic purpose of all scientific research: there should be no mystery in the world; everything should be known.
Science is mind's final growth: therefore it cannot go beyond mind. The very word science means knowledge. Hence science does not divide existence into three categories, but only into two: the known and the unknown.
And there is a third category, which I call the unknowable. We are the pilgrims of the unknowable. To move into the unknowable feels very scary to the mind, because the unknowable can in no way be made part of knowledge. It can never become the dominion and the empire of mind. It will always remain a mystery.
You can live it, but you cannot know it. You can experience it, but you cannot reduce your experience into knowledge. You can dance it, you can rejoice in it, but you cannot transform its basic quality of being mysterious into knowledgeability. Knowledge is absolutely unmysterious.
This is the world of the mystic. This is the world of sat-chit-anand – truth, consciousness and bliss.
These words are absolutely unknown to science, and these words are absolutely scary for the mind. Neither does it know truth, nor does it want to know the truth; lies are so beautiful and comfortable. Truth is dangerous for the mind, because mind's whole basis is false and phony. The moment truth arrives mind has to leave, its time is over. The arrival of truth is instant death to the mind: all its empire simply disappears.

We currently have a very exciting and rare type of in-house opening in China at one of the world's leading internet and social media companies. Our client is looking for an IP Transactional / TMT / Licensing attorney with 2 to 6 years experience. The new hire will be based in Shenzhen or Shanghai. Mandarin is not required (deal documentation will be in English) but is preferred. A solid reason to be in China and a commitment to that market is required of course. This new hire will likely be US qualified (but could also be qualified in UK or other jurisdictions) and with experience and training at a top law firm's IP transactional / TMT practice and could be currently at a law firm or in-house. Qualified candidates currently Asia based, Europe based or US based will be considered. The new hire's supervisors in this technology transactions in-house team are very well regarded US trained IP transactional lawyers, with substantial experience at Silicon Valley firms. The culture and atmosphere in this in-house group and the company in general is entrepreneurial, team oriented, and the work is cutting edge, even for a cutting edge industry. The upside of being in an important strategic in-house position in this fast growing and world leading internet company is of the "sky is the limit" variety. Its a very exciting place to be in China for a rising IP transactional lawyer in our opinion, for many reasons beyond the basic info we can share here in this ad / post. This is a special A+ opportunity.

Trade In Your Challenges
Presented by NexFirm
When Chintan Panchal decided to leave a global BigLaw partnership to start his own firm, he could only hope that he would face the high-quality problem of firm building that many had cautioned him about. Focused on the uncertainty surrounding of a new firm launch, he decided to tackle staffing needs, IT challenges, and financial planning requirements after he had built up his legal practice.Panchal Associates LLP–a corporate/finance and outside general counsel boutique–was quickly off to a great start. Clients and matters were flying in the door, and Chintan soon had a team of lawyers and staff with a variety of operational needs. To continue building an excellent team and provide them with a competitive benefits package, to expand his physical presence to include a European practice and additional partners, and to scale his operations and IT capabilities to support this growing enterprise brought with it demands of time, money, and expertise. Chintan knew he needed help.
"With the assistance of NexFirm, we have upgraded the capabilities of our firm to meet, and in some cases exceed, the standards we were used to at our former BigLaw firms. Operationally, we can now attract and service clients we didn't have the bandwidth to support in the past, and continue to build our team with the best and brightest legal talent in the industry," said Chintan Panchal, adding "It has worked out quite well in our case; NexFirm is an essential partner for us."

Similar to Gamma Knife treatment for tumors and other abnormalities in the brain, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is performed at the Siteman Cancer Center for isolated cancerous lesions in the lung, liver and spinal column. This therapy precisely delivers a high dose of radiation to one or two small targets. SBRT typically is administered in three to five treatments using either a Trilogy or TomoTherapy unit.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy is performed either on the Trilogy or Tomotherapy machine.
With its built-in CT scanning equipment, the Trilogy unit allows radiation oncologists to identify tumors and map their location. The radiation oncologist then aims approximately 10 to 12 radiation beams at the tumor's center. Because these beams come from different directions, a high dose is delivered to the center of the tumor, while surrounding normal tissue is minimally affected.
The Trilogy unit is equipped with sophisticated software that can account for breathing motion, making it ideal for tumors that move during treatment, such as those in the lungs or liver.The TomoTherapy unit also offers on-board CT scanning capabilities. It can deliver SBRT around critical organs, such as to a tumor in the spine, where the radiation dose needs to curve around the spinal cord.

What's All This Then?
Thanks for visiting. If browsing around here while at work has had a negative effect on your productivity we're sorry but imagine what it's done to ours. [Hide]
Monday Edition
We don't have the question "What's this site all about?" figured out just yet,
but maybe Some'Splaining To Do will be a good primer in the interim.
A Winter Almanac full of helpful advice to coincide with the release of our 21st Field Notes Brand limited seasonal release, The Cold Horizon Edition.
Check the many new exhibitions now showing at our Museum of Online Museums. Also, watch our "MoOMumentary," The Curators. Like most cultural institutions, The MoOM needs the support of the community to survive. Well, not really, since we don't have a building or a staff or even those cheap little round colored badges that you hook on your collar when you attend... We do however have a new version of The MoOM Mug, which is available exclusively to benefactors.
Follow along on the blog of Ben Saunders and The Scott Expedition as they make their way towards the South Pole. For background, check this excellent CNN feature about the expedition and the trek across Antarctica. We're proud that our Field Notes Brand is a sponsor of Ben and Tarka's journey. A peek of our Expedition Edition that's going along, can be seen at 1:54.
The sun is setting on one of our original consumer businesses, Jewelboxing. It was a blast creating and running it and thanks to the tens of thousands of people who made cool stuff with our system. Jewelboxing gave us the time, skills and confidence to do many other things. For old time's sake I just watched DW in the film "Bags of Air," with voiceovers provided by two of my kids when they were very young. —JC
In conjunction with the release of the Field Notes "Night Sky" Limited-Edtion memo books for summer we made a short movie... and a really, really long one.
The idea was fairly simple, though complex in the making: for those of us in big metropolitan, light-polluted areas like Chicago who can't see the night sky very clearly, we wanted to travel to this section of rural Nevada and bring the stars back with us, capturing a full night sky and playing it back in real time. Check all six hours and 20 minutes of The Stars and Their Courses, and here's some background and technical information too.
To Sweet Hereafter, Jim's warning to trick-or-treaters in the style of Hilaire Belloc.
Here's Jim's presentation from the inaugural edition of Chicago Creative Mornings. Thanks to Tina, Mig, Gravity Tank and everyone who showed up.
Over a weekend last summer, posters some kids had printed out started popping up in Steve's neighborhood advertising that there was "a band in town" called, simply, the "Lemonade Band." The group consisted of four girls and their name was likely derived from the fact that they intended to sell lemonade at their concerts, in addition to performing. They even built a website. Here's the flyer that started the whole thing.
While the Lemonade Band itself seems to have lasted less than a month, Steve became more than a bit infatuated with the whole idea, so he swiped and scanned one of their flyers, roped in Wakiza Gamez to compose a song using only the words on the original poster, verbatim, and then shot a glossy music video, complete with smoke machine, all in hopes of sharing the Lemonade Band's love both entertaining and selling lemonade (and other yummy treats), and that maybe some of the original band members will see it and enjoy this tribute to their terrific, weird idea.

"My first memory is of my father carrying a hammer into our bedrooms and smashing open our piggy banks on the night Roberto died."
Forty-one seasons ago, Roberto Clemente slashed a double into left-center field, recording his 3000th regular season career hit. That hit would turn out to be his last. The bat he used is the central object in Kevin Guilfoile's book, A Drive into the Gap, the first title from the publishing imprint of our Field Notes Brand. The book has garnered great reviews and is a story about baseball and memory, and fathers and sons. See a film, read an excerpt and buy a copy of A Drive into the Gap here.
Here's a longer excerpt, plus some nice video features from ESPN The Magazine, and to learn how the whole thing came about check this Gapers Block interview with Kevin.
About 6 years ago, we ran an experiment where we invited all the previous Guest Editors from all those many previous months and years to come back to the site for a very special holiday edition. Turns out, it was fun and we've repeated the tradition every once in a while. Now that it's been a couple of years since the last go 'round, we thought we'd try it again with our editors from all of 2012 and 2013. For the month of December, the former Editors will be sharing their favorite holiday and/or winter links. Seasonal drinks for Friday Drink Links. Photosets that make those in warm climates pine for snow and those bundled up in ten layers just to walk a city block, just the opposite. Whatever their links are, we'll be labeling all our return Guests (dec) for their contributions and of course, letting you know who said what.
A list of all the brilliant people who have helped us by guest editing Fresh Signals can be found here.

Why Upgrading from XP to Windows 7 Makes Business Sense
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Many large enterprises still rely on Windows XP-based PCs. For some, reliance on legacy applications made it easy to delay an operating system upgrade and migration. Others just never got around to allocating staff and resources. Regardless of why an enterprise stayed with Windows XP, supporting an aging OS is costly, both in terms of support expenses, and lost opportunities resulting from the inability to take advantage of new capabilities like desktop virtualization and improved security.
