|Physical Description
|Anduin, between Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul
Reunited Kingdom
|River city with bridge
|General Information
|"Fortress of the Host of Stars"
Osgiliath (S, pron. [osˈɡiljaθ]) was the old capital city of Gondor. The city straddled the Anduin River at a point approximately half way between the cities of Minas Anor to the southwest and Minas Ithil to the northeast, and north of the nearby Emyn Arnen.
In the Great Hall of the city the thrones of the sons of Elendil were set side by side. In its days of glory, the city featured quays to handle sea-going vessels that came up from the sea, a great stone bridge supporting houses and towers of stone, and the Dome of Stars, which housed the Osgiliath-stone, the greatest of the seven Palantíri.[1]
[edit] History
Founded by Isildur and Anárion[1] near the end of the Second Age,[2] Osgiliath was designated the capital of the southern Númenórean kingdom in exile, Gondor. Soon after its founding, Sauron attacked and took Minas Ithil in S.A. 3429 and then moved westward. While Isildur sought aid from the north, Anárion defended the city. When the army of the Last Alliance arrived and later defeated Sauron the threat to the city was lifted.[1] Thereafter, for over a thousand years, Osgiliath was the capital of Gondor, as well as its largest and most important city.
The beginning of the city's decline came in T.A. 1437 when it was sacked and burned, after a siege by the rebel Castamir's forces during the Kin-strife. It was during this siege that the Osgiliath-stone was lost in the River. The Great Plague of T.A. 1636 led to further depopulation with many victims, and those who fled never returned. The city began to fall into ruin; the capital was moved to the more secure Minas Anor in T.A. 1640.
Over the next few hundred years, Gondor endured many military defeats east of the Anduin, especially the fall of Minas Ithil in T.A. 2002. Osgiliath became vulnerable to attack and was widely believed to be haunted, as its population continued to shrink. Osgiliath was finally abandoned by the remaining civilian population after being captured temporarily by Uruk-hai in T.A. 2475 until it was liberated by Steward Boromir.[3]
Over the following centuries, the western part of the ruined city was under the control of Gondor, and was at times provided with a military garrison as a means of defending the crossing of the Anduin. The eastern part, with Ithilien, was disputed territory, under Gondor's control for most of the rule of Denethor II, but in June of T.A. 3018 it was taken and occupied by Sauron's forces and its last bridge fell. This attack some later considered the beginning of the War of the Ring.[4]
In the following March, well into the War, Sauron launched a full-scale invasion of Gondor west of the Anduin, and despite the Rangers of Ithilien defended the western part of the city, Osgiliath quickly fell to Sauron's forces,[4] but it was reclaimed by Gondor after Sauron's ultimate defeat a few weeks later.
After the War, Osgiliath was apparently rebuilt[source?], but it never became as great as it once was. Minas Tirith remained the capital and King's city[source?].
[edit] Etymology
The Sindarin name Osgiliath, "Citadel of the Stars", consists of the elements ost ("fort, citadel") + giliath ("hosts of stars").[5][6]
[edit] Portrayal in Adaptations
Because the city was not visited in the books, it did not appear in many adaptations.
1988: J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth:
- Osgiliath is one of the many maps of this game. The maps shows the bridge but the city itself is not shown.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
- After capturing Frodo and Sam, Faramir takes them to Osgiliath, in the hope of harnessing the power of the Ring to the betterment of Gondor. Osgiliath is fully ruined, and partly flooded. After being attacked by several winged Nazgûl, Faramir releases them.
- In a scene in the Extended Edition, Faramir has a flashback. Boromir reclaims the city for Gondor, and the soldiers feast. The scene is meant to highlight the relation between Boromir, Faramir and Denethor.
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
- Gothmog and his orcs finally breach the defenses of the Gondorian troopers, and beat them back with heavy losses. Madril is slain, as are several others. On their retreat to Minas Tirith, they are beset by the Nazgûl, only to be saved by Gandalf.
- Not impressed by Faramir's deeds, and more upset about the loss of Osgiliath, Denethor sends his son back to Osgiliath, but his company is slaughtered, and Faramir badly wounded. This scene replaced the defense of the Causeway Forts in the book.
2011: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North:
- Concept art of Osgiliath was created by Snowblind Studios and appears in the trailer The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Dev Video: Art Direction Process. It is unknown if Osgiliath will appear in the game.

It was the Lobos' annual "Dig Pink" match and the Johnson Center was dressed for the occasion -- lined with pink streamers and accented with pink balloons.
New Mexico recorded its 10th sweep of the season and improved to 17-4 overall and 7-3 in MW play while the Wolf Pack dropped to 2-20 and 0-10 in league matches.
Head coach Jeff Nelson likes what he saw today from his Lobos, citing a couple of improvements the team needs to carry into the second half of the Mountain West conference scedule.
"It was a nice win," Nelson said. 'We got ahead early in each game and we were able to put the match away. We worked a couple of specific things this week in practice and we were able to implement those things today. We handled the ball faster and we served tougher."
The Lobos had 10.0 blocks and held Nevada to .031 hitting percentage (28-25-96).
New Mexico hit a season best .451, recording 45 kills and committing just eight errors on 82 total attempts.
"Every hitter is putting balls away and I think that all starts with our passing and defense," redshirt sophomore Hannah Johnson said. "Our team is putting up balls that are setable and easy for me to do my job. You have to give a lot of credit to our passers and defenders."
Johnson had 33 set assists, four digs and two solo blocks.
"Defensively, today we did a good job of keying in on their good hitters," Johnson added.
The Lobos held Nevada's offensive leader,Tessa Lea'ea, to seven kills and .000 hitting (7-7-19). She was averaging 2.75 kills per set.
New Mexico redshirt junior Chantale Riddle led all players with 11 kills. She added four digs and four blocks.
Freshman Julia Warren hit a scorching .714 percent at the net with 10 kills on 14 swings and no errors. She added five digs and three blocks.
Freshman Devanne Sours saw action in the third set and also hit .714 -- tallying five kills on seven attacks and committing no errors.
Senior libero Miquella Lovato anchored the back court for UNM and recorded 17 digs.
The Lobos hit the road for a pair of Mountain West matches next week, stopping at UNLV on Thursday night (8 p.m. MT) before playing at San Diego State on Saturday (1 p.m. MT).

MOGA ACE POWER game controller review: Button mashing comes to iPhone!
The MOGA ACE POWER is one of the first MFi (Made for iPhone) game controllers to hit the market. This new generation of Apple-supported, Lightning adapter powered controllers promise even better compatibility and performance, but are they really ready for primetime? Do they make that much of a difference? And can they be used over AirPlay to make a virtual console?
Unlike games designed for the multitouch era of the iPhone - Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Infinity Blade, etc. - when traditional games are ported over and given virtual d-pads, joysticks, and other on-screen controls, your fingers end up blocking up to a third of the screen. That's the problem MOGA ACE POWER is trying to solve by getting the virtual controls off your screen and back onto hardware sticks and buttons where they belong.
The MOGA ACE POWER sports dual analog sticks, shoulder buttons, triggers, a D-pad, and four action buttons. Because, when your iPhone is securely placed inside, it covers the sleep/wake button, it also has a button to push that press through anyway, right on the front. It also includes a battery charger, so you don't have to worry about exhausting your iPhone thanks to your newfound gaming powers.
Not all games support the MOGA ACE POWER yet, so you'll have to go to MOGA's website and check out their list. Bottom line, if you like casual, made-for-multitouch games, there's nothing to see here. If you've always longed for GameBoy or PSP-style physical gaming on your iPhone or iPod touch, there's a lot to like about the MOGA.
Now watch the video and see how it performs on racing, fighting, and classic arcade games, as well as my attempt to use it like a Wii U and AirPlay my gaming via Apple TV to a Big Screen TV. Make sure you subscribe to iMore's YouTube channel and if you have any questions about the MOGA ACE POWER, fire away!

MOGA ACE POWER game controller review: Button mashing comes to iPhone!
Very nice controller. Thanks for the review and video.
Sent from the iMore App
Hi, i have a MOGA so was also curious on bat life.
i done a quick test.
- MOGA Ace @ 100% "4 LEDS"
- iPhone 5S @ 100% bat.
Played "Bastion" (great game) for 2 hours solid..no breaks.
MOGA with boost switch ON after 2 hours of rollin n' button mashin' :-
- iPhone 5s @ 100%
- Ace Power @ around = 75% (3 LEDS)
MOGA with boost switch OFF after 2 hours:-
- iPhone 5s @ 39%
- Ace Power @ 100% (4 LEDS)
Basically it allowed me to play for 2 hours solid and not lose any iPhone juice,
I'm sure it would have done 4hours easily, but i was 'Bastioned out"..and needed to do "life" things. ;)
Hope this helps.
BTW : Anthony!, nice vid but your desk needs a coat of varnish!
Also on most MOGA video review i always see the reviewer put the lightning end in first.. It is way much easier and quicker the other way round.. give it a try.!

Strategic Goals
The Natural History Museum of Utah opened its doors to the public in the George Thomas Building in 1969. Since then, collections have been transferred from the University's academic departments and grown through research, acquisition, and contributions to number more than 1.5 million objects. The Museum has solidified its position as the State museum of natural history and has developed strong programs of exhibits and education, both on-site and statewide.
In November 2011, we opened our new facility, the Rio Tinto Center, with entirely new exhibit galleries, engaging programs for the public and state-of-the-art collections care and research facilities. At this milestone in the Museum's rich history, we acknowledge that we are a work-in-progress.
Detailed below is what we strive to achieve as we begin a new era:
Strategic Goals for 2012-2016
We will be a regional research center. Our research and scholarship contributions will expand:
- more faculty curators including establishing endowed chairs;
- more grants and publications,
- growth of field research, including establishment of a fieldwork endowment and the growth of our Range Creek Research Station,
- with a particular focus on collaborative and interdisciplinary science, and
- research results will be communicated to the broadest possible public.
We will be a top regional destination based on the quality of the visitor experience:
- continue to invest in the media experience for visitors, both in-gallery and online,
- regularly assess the quality of interpretation, updating content, and keep abreast of new technological developments,
- create public interest in science and communicate its excitement and pertinence through temporary exhibits, in our permanent galleries and through public and school programs, and
- offer an authentic Utah experience with a focus on human interaction in the galleries.
We will be the state museum of natural history:
- by providing high quality science education to and promoting STEM careers in public schools statewide,
- by providing virtual and actual outreach and forming and maintaining robust partnerships with Utah communities statewide,
- by being a center for the interpretation of Native cultures as well a destination for Native peoples, and
- the diversity of our audience and in our staff and volunteers will reflect the diversity of Utah.
We will be a center for university student engagement:
- expand student support including graduate student assistantships, undergraduate scholarships, internships,
- explore unique degree and/or certificate programs including disciplinary research, object conservation and/or master naturalist, and
- expand job opportunities.
We will be a truly sustainable institution:
- our choices will be green,
- by investing in the development of our staff, board, and volunteers
- by seeking strategic partnerships with agencies, businesses, cultural and educational organizations
- by exceeding our goals for earned income and annual giving as laid out in the business plan and building a reserve that will provide a cushion during economic downturns as well as the ability to proactively invest in innovation,
- by exceeding our attendance goals, seeking measurable feedback on the quality of the visitor experience, and using the results for improvement, and
- we will measure, document, and communicate the economic impact of the Museum, as well as the return on the community's investment in the Rio Tinto Center.

Im a mixed martial artist. I can fight with him anywhere, Cruz said during the UFC 165 Post Show on Fox Sports 2.
I look at it as a chess match, literally. Renan Barao plays chess when hes in there. I play chess when Im there, sad the bantamweight champion.
Cruz sees Barao as the best fighter competing in the 135-pound division aside from him. He realizes Baraos 30-fight winning streak is no fluke and speaks highly of the interim titleholder.
The most impressive part about Barao is the way that he mixes things up. Hes constantly shooting, kneeing up the middle, left hook, straight right hand and spinning back kicks, said Cruz.
My favorite thing that he does is hell throw the right hand and hell throw the left hook just to see you react, explained Cruz.
If he keeps landing the right hand than you dont want to circle into the power of the right hand. So what does he do? When you go to the weak side he throws a spinning back kick. So now you have two power shots that he can land going right or left if youre trying to defend against Renan Baraos offense, he added.Barao mixes it up better than anybody in the division., he said. Thats what Im looking forward to fighting. Im looking forward fighting a guy that mixes things up from head to toe, whether it be wrestling, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, he added. Im ready for that. I will be ready for that, and I cannot wait.
I think that can challenge that, continued Cruz. I know that I can beat him. I know that I have the tools to challenge him and really trick him out in a lot of different ways with the things that I do in a fight.
The 28-year-old athlete hasnt been medically cleared to fully train, but expects a medical clearance in the coming weeks.
I will be cleared, and I will fight, and when I fight I will be fighting Renan Barao, he said.

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 3 mph
Cynthia Jane Talcott Mongeon lived a wonderful life. She was born to George S. and Marjorie W. Talcott on June 27, 1929, in Williston, Vermont. She loved growing up on the family farm on North Williston Road. Cynthia was the oldest of seven siblings. She enjoyed many wonderful times with her family, which she longed for until the end on June 4, 2013.
She enjoyed playing golf at the Williston Golf Course, playing baseball with the boys in Williston, camp in South Hero and other passions. She was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and any sports thather children, grandchildren and great-children played. She was there to cheer them on. She and her sisters supported the Vermont Reds, Expos and Lake Monsters at Centennial Field, where her father played in college.
Cynthia graduated from Burlington High School in 1947. She completed her studies at Becker Junior College in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1949. She married a local Williston boy, Julian Francis Mongeon, on February 3, 1951, and lived at Camp Pickett in Virginia while Julian completed his Army stint. Relocating back to Vermont, Cynthia and Julian raised three children in Essex Junction and Essex, Vermont. She served in the town offices for many years. In 1977, she finished a degree program at UVM and worked in the medical fields until her retirement. Cynthia and Julian lived a nomadic life in retirement, living in the Carolinas, Florida and Vermont. After 55 years of marriage, Julian passed away in March 2006. Cynthia continued her passion of supporting her family as she continued to live life as full as she could. She spent many wonderful years at the Taft Family center in Williston and then in Claremont, NH.
Alzheimer's disease took its toll and she needed special care. She stayed at the Heaton House in Montpelier and the Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow until the end.
Surviving Cynthia is her sister Lucy Lapan of Milton, VT; daughter Sharon and her husband Wayne Ennis of Durham, NC; son Stephen and his wife Karen Mongeon of Claremont, NH; son Brian and his wife Martha Evans-Mongeon of Waterbury Center, VT; grandchild Elizabeth and her husband James Ross II of Rock Hill, SC; grandchild Kristie and her husband Michael LeBlanc of Claremont, NH; grandchildren Martha and Jeff Evans-Mongeon of Waterbury Center, VT; great-grandchildren Nick Irvin, Grant and Jackson Cochrane, and step great-grandchildren James III and Brittney Ross of Rock Hill, SC; great-grandchild Tyler LeBlanc of Claremont, NH; and many, many nieces and nephews throughout the Talcott and Mongeon clans in all parts of the United States.
She was predeceased by parents in 1978 and 1984 and her brothers George Jr. and John; sisters Peggy, Shirley and Lucia; along with their spouses.
A graveside service will be held at the East Cemetery on Route 2 in Williston on Monday, June 10, 2013, at 10 a.m. A family gathering will take place at one of Cynthia's favorites at the Vermont Sports Grill on Williston Road in South Burlington following the service.
In lieu of flowers, Cynthia's family wishes to have contributions go to the Heaton House, 10 Heaton Street, Montpelier, VT 05602; or the Gill Odd Fellows Home, 8 Gill Terrace, Ludlow, VT 05149 in Cynthia's name. We can never say enough about how the staffs at both locations aided and cared for Cynthia in the last days. We thank them with our deepest appreciation. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury. To send online condolences visit www.perkinsparker.com and Facebook.

Mobile Nations fitness month week 1: Exercise!
It's February and you know what that means? Mobile Nations Fitness Month! That's when we all get together to get in shape, share tips and tricks and recipes for success, review amazing apps and accessories, give away great prizes, and have a ton of fun! This year we're doing it a little differently, though. We're doing weekly themes, and that means every week you'll have new and exciting challenges, and new chances to win!
Week 1: Exercise!
We want to get in shape and feel great! Exercise helps us in so many ways. It helps us lose weight, reduce stress, feel energized, and improve our self-image. Getting moving reduces the likelihood of diseases, and keeps us healthy and as we get older.
As part of fitness month, we'll be reviewing a bunch of great apps and accessories that can help motivate, track, and train us to exercise better and smarter. We'll also be doing a couple of cool contests.
Stepping up contest
First is our Mobile Nations Stepping Up contest. Every day this week there'll be a thread in the iMore health and fitness forums, and all you have to do to enter is tell us what exercise or activity you did that day. It can be walking or running, playing soccer or doing yoga, swimming or dancing -- anything that makes you move. If you have a Fitbit, Nike Fuelband, JAWBONE UP, or any gadget with a pedometer, you can simply share your results each day.
This is a great way to keep us all motivated and accountable, and get a little healthy peer-pressure going! Plus, every day you enter is a chance to win a $20 gift certificate!
Exercise MY way contest
Second is our Exercise MY Way contest. Just head on over to the Exercise MY Way thread in the forums and tell us how you use your mobile device, your iPhone or iPad, to stay in shape. What are your favorite apps? What are your go to accessories for keeping fit? How does your device fit your active lifestyle? We want to know! We'll post the best entries on Friday, so get them in ASAP! Need more incentive? We'll pick one winner a week and send them a $100 gift certificate!
So what are you waiting for? Mobile Nations Fitness Month starts NOW!
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Mobile Nations fitness month week 1: Exercise!
Would love to have her in one of my movies....
Added my workout for the night!
In the Monday Brief video, like usual :)
People get motivated if their results can be easily quantified, like in Fruit Ninja. It's nice to see how those wristbands actually encourage walking more steps every day.
I'm doing P90X, actually started Jan 1st. Also started juicing (not roids) but with veggies and fruit. Got a Omega VRT350 juicer. Lost 14 lbs. since January. Feeling great!!!!
I'm thinking of getting the Jawbone UP! or the Nike Fuel Band. Either way it's all about getting your body moving! I do plan on doing a 1/2 marathon this year in October, which would be my first! :D

It's because there are a lot more Pikachu things than other Pokemon, each one of them is different though, and there's a lot of other stuff in there, if you watch the video then you can see it a lot better.
Wow, she's way devoted to Pokemon. I'm slightly devoted, but there's always other things that get in the way...I'm not that obsessive, but then again...
There must be live over a million things in that room. She's even got the Pikachus in her television.

The Diversity Crisis: What's Wrong With This Picture?
What's being said
Pragmatic your analysis is not accurate. The minority children for income and education matched families still have a large performance gaps at each level. Yes poor children do worse in all groups but even among well off minorities with double college educated parents there is a very significant difference. Pragmatic to you really believe in 2014 your profession is racist?
if you held a 1 mile race, and for the first quarter mile one group of competitors had to carry a 50 pound bag of rocks, how many of of that group do you think would end up in the top 10 finishers? Likewise, the long term problem must be addressed beginning with early childhood and elementary education - African American disproportionately live in neighborhoods or municipalities with inferior and under funded schools - largely due to the reliance the educational system has on local jurisdiction based property taxation as the primary means of funding. Until this 50 Lb. sack of rocks is removed, the under participation will remain, and no quotas or affirmative action or similar program is going to fix it. Equal protection under the Constitution should encompass access to comparable early childhood and elementary education - but that would mean major restructure of educational funding across America.

The popular American TV show "Lost" made many esoteric references to the number "108" (a series that I never watched personally)
Apparently, the series includes quite a few references to Buddhism. For example, the sum of "the numbers" (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42) is 108, and "the numbers" must be entered into a computer every 108 minutes. One hundred eight is also the number of days "the Oceanic 6″ have spent on the island. And Jacob tells Hurley to rotate the mirror in the lighthouse to a heading of 108°.
The following is a collection of information about the number "108" (reference links included):
One hundred [and] eight (or nine dozen) is an abundant number and a semiperfect number. It is a tetranacci number.
It is the hyperfactorial of 3 since it is of the form .
108 is a number that is divisible by the value of its φ function, which is 36. 108 is also divisible by the total number of its divisors (12), hence it is a refactorable number.
In Euclidean space, the interior angles of a regular pentagon measure 108 degrees each.
There are 108 free polyominoes of order 7.
In base 10, it is a Harshad number and a self number.
The equation results in the Golden ratio
Importance in Astronomy and Astrology
The earth cycle is supposed to be of 2160 years = 20 x 108. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Sun. The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. The distance between the Earth and Moon is 108 times the diameter of the Moon. The universe is made up of 108 elements according to ancient texts. The current periodic table claims a few more than 108.
There are 12 constellation and 9 arc segments. 9 times 12 equal 108. The 9 planets travelling through the 12 signs constitute the whole of existence. 9 x 12 = 108. The 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations spread over the 4 elements – fire, earth, air, water or the 4 directions – north, south, east, and west. This also constitutes the whole of existence. 27 x 4 = 108.

Religion and the arts
The number 108 is considered sacred in many Eastern religions and traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and connected yoga and dharma based practices. The individual numbers 1, 0, and 8 represent one thing, nothing, and everything (infinity). 108 represents the ultimate reality of the universe as being (seemingly paradoxically) simultaneously One, emptiness, and infinite.
For example, Hindu deities have 108 names, while in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, there are 108 gopis of Vrindavan. Recital of these names, often accompanied by counting of 108-beaded Mala, is considered sacred and often done during religious ceremonies. The recital is called namajapa. Accordingly, a mala usually has beads for 108 repetitions of a mantra.
The distance of Sun from Earth divided by diameter of Sun and distance of Moon from Earth divided by diameter of Moon is approximately equal to 108. It is claimed that the great sires of Vedanta knew this relationship and thus 108 is a very important number in Vedantic chantings.
Likewise, Tibetan Buddhist malas or rosaries (Tib. ཕྲེང་བ Wyl. phreng ba, "Trengwa") are usually 108 beads;[1] sometimes 111 including the Guru Bead(s), reflecting the words of the Buddha called in Tibetan the Kangyur (Wylie: Bka'-'gyur) in 108 volumes. Zen priests wear juzu (a ring of prayer beads) around their wrists, which consists of 108 beads.[2]
The Lankavatara Sutra has a section where the Bodhisattva Mahamati asks Buddha 108 questions[3] and another section where Buddha lists 108 statements of negation in the form of "A statement concerning X is not statement concerning X".[4] In a footnote, D.T. Suzuki explains that the Sanskrit word translated as "statement" is "pada" which can also mean "foot-step" or "a position." This confusion over the word "pada" explains why some have mistakenly held that the reference to 108 statements in the Lankavatara refer to the 108 steps that many temples have.[5]
In some schools of Buddhism it is believed that there are 108 defilements.[6] In Japan, at the end of the year, a bell is chimed 108 times in Buddhist temples to finish the old year and welcome the new one. Each ring represents one of 108 earthly temptations a person must overcome to achieve nirvana.
Ancient artifacts
The pre-historic monument Stonehenge is about 108 feet in diameter. [3]
Other References
In the neo-Gnostic teachings of Samael Aun Weor, an individual has 108 chances (lifetimes) to eliminate his egos and transcend the material world before "devolving" and having the egos forcefully removed in the infradimensions.[7]

Suparinpei is the Chinese pronunciation of the number 108, while gojūshi of Gojūshiho is the Japanese pronunciation of the number 54. The other Gōjū-ryū kata, Sanseru (meaning "36") and Seipai ("18″) are factors of the number 108.[2]
- The 108 of the Yang long form and Wing Chun, taught by Yip Man having 108 movements are noted in this regard.[5]
- Several different Taijiquan long forms consist of 108 moves.
- Paek Pal Ki Hyung, the 7th form taught in the art of Kuk Sool Won, translates literally to "108 technique" form. It is also frequently referred to as the "eliminate 108 torments" form. Each motion corresponds with one of the 108 Buddhist torments or defilements.

Calls are handled by GVK EMRI (GVK Emergency Management and Research Institute), the only professional Emergency Service Provider in India today, handling medical, police and fire emergencies.
Highways and Roads
The Indian Subcontinent rosary or set of mantra counting has 108 beads. 108 has been a sacred number in the Indian Subcontinent for a very long time. This number is explained in many different ways.
The ancient Indians were excellent mathematicians and 108 may be the product of a precise mathematical operation (e.g. 1 power 1 x 2 power 2 x 3 power 3 = 108) which was thought to have special numerological significance.
Powers of 1, 2, and 3 in math: 1 to 1st power=1; 2 to 2nd power=4 (2×2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108
Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Each has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108.
Sri Yantra: On the Sri Yantra there are marmas where three lines intersect, and there are 54 such intersections. Each intersections has masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti qualities. 54 x 2 equals 108. Thus, there are 108 points that define the Sri Yantra as well as the human body.
9 times 12: Both of these numbers have been said to have spiritual significance in many traditions. 9 times 12 is 108. Also, 1 plus 8 equals 9. That 9 times 12 equals 108.
Heart Chakra: The chakras are the intersections of energy lines, and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra. One of them, sushumna leads to the crown chakra, and is said to be the path to Self-realization.
Marmas: Marmas or marmastanas are like energy intersections called chakras, except have fewer energy lines converging to form them. There are said to be 108 marmas in the subtle body.
Time: Some say there are 108 feelings, with 36 related to the past, 36 related to the present, and 36 related to the future.
Astrology: There are 12 constellations, and 9 arc segments called namshas or chandrakalas. 9 times 12 equals 108. Chandra is moon, and kalas are the divisions within a whole.
Planets and Houses: In astrology, there are 12 houses and 9 planets. 12 times 9 equals 108.
Gopis of Krishna: In the Krishna tradition, there were said to be 108 gopis or maid servants of Krishna.
1, 0, and 8: 1 stands for God or higher Truth, 0 stands for emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, and 8 stands for infinity or eternity.
Sun and Earth: The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth.
Numerical scale: The 1 of 108, and the 8 of 108, when added together equals 9, which is the number of the numerical scale, i.e. 1, 2, 3 … 10, etc., where 0 is not a number.
Smaller divisions: The number 108 is divided, such as in half, third, quarter, or twelfth, so that some malas have 54, 36, 27, or 9 beads.
Islam: The number 108 is used in Islam to refer to God.
Jain: In the Jain religion, 108 are the combined virtues of five categories of holy ones, including 12, 8, 36, 25, and 27 virtues respectively.
Sikh: The Sikh tradition has a mala of 108 knots tied in a string of wool, rather than beads.
Chinese: The Chinese Buddhists and Taoists use a 108 bead mala, which is called su-chu, and has three dividing beads, so the mala is divided into three parts of 36 each.
Stages of the soul: Said that Atman, the human soul or center goes through 108 stages on the journey.
Meru: This is a larger bead, not part of the 108. It is not tied in the sequence of the other beads. It is the quiding bead, the one that marks the beginning and end of the mala.
Dance: There are 108 forms of dance in the Indian traditions.
Pythagorean: The nine is the limit of all numbers, all others existing and coming from the same. ie: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers.

- Suzuki Roshi, Not Always So
Zen Center was founded on the non-dualistic principle of humans and environment being one body. This naturally leads to sustainable practices of living in harmony with all beings and earth. As advocates for healthy relationships with all parts of the whole, many of the original practitioners who built Tassajara and Green Gulch and who collectively shaped the culture of all three temples, continue to find Zen practice expressed in their engaged environmental and social activism.
Join us as we celebrate sustainable milestones here at City Center: the solar panels installed in 2005 (which have paid for themselves and now enable us to receive credits from PG&E), the symbiotic relationship of our temple with organic farming (our food waste has for decades been a staple ingredient in the organic compost of Green Gulch Farm and more recently for Hayes Valley Farm), and our rooftop bee colonies (who share over 200 pounds of their honey with us each year!).
Earth Week 2013 is an opportunity for us to restate our commitment to sustainability and explore together with our wider urban sangha how we can continue to enhance our community's ecological practices as well as our individual practices in an urban environment.
How –in an urban environment—do we honor Earth and recognize body as earth, earth as body? We welcome you to join the dialogue at City Center during Earth Week 2013:

Question: Not Getting Better on the GFCF Diet
A: First, I would strongly recommend avoiding SOY as the gluten, dairy and soy molecules are all similar. When the immune system is down it will recognize the soy molecule as a gluten molecule and you might not see improvement.
Vitamins were also an important part of our son getting better, but the ALCAT allergy testing also really helped him. We used an integrated doctor in New York City for the ALCAT test, which revealed he was intolerant of: corn, almonds, avocado, broccoli, oranges, and black pepper. We never would have figured out these intolerances out using an elimination test. Once we removed these additional things from his diet we saw huge improvements. I am not sure if the ALCAT is similar to the IgG testing. I know the ALCAT looks at how the cells react to the foods. The IgG is also used by some DAN doctors and probably is also worth looking into if you can't find anyone to do the ALCAT test.
The vitamins we found helpful (in the order we used them) were: a good multivitamin, sublingual B12, B6, high EPA fish oil, PROBIOTICS, enzymes, nystatin and magnesium.) Some were prescribed by doctors, others I discovered myself looking up symptoms and vitamin deficiencies for my daughter and then ended up giving it to him, and some were recommended by parents. He started speaking after the B12 and gradually got better with each thing we added. A good multivitamin and GI Flora (100% GFCFSF!) probiotics which will restore the healthy gut flora are two things that might help your son. The GI Flora probiotics have been recommended by a DAN doctor/environmental allergist as well as a a DAN doctor/nutritionist. And they are light years better than most probiotics.
As far as the diet, there is hidden gluten in everything--even things labeled "gluten free." See my post "Rice Dream is Not Gluten Free." Removing the other allergens especially corn and soy can be a big help. Some people see more benefit from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet because sometimes the GFCF diet has too much processed stuff and some children cannot handle any processed grains. Sugar feeds the yeast and sometimes the yeast produces toxins (alcohol and formaldehyde.) So a yeast free diet is also worth looking at. My son was 18 months when we started the GFCF diet and we were 150% on the diet with him because of his severe regression and gut issues. He basically ate homemade, organic food for a year: rice cakes, chicken fried rice with a ton of leeks, onions and garlic (they are prebiotics,) fresh fruit, strawberry and raspberry fruit smoothies and FRESH squeezed juice (apple and carrot mostly), Westsoy RICE milk, tinkyada pasta, taco meat on rice, and homemade paleo muffins and waffles made with nuts and eggs and Enjoy Life Snickerdoodle cookies. A lot of the GFCF stuff had soy lecithin in it, which we avoided completely when the neurologist told us about the soy molecule.
Your son's bowels being improved on the gluten free casein free diet is great news and is an indication that it is something you should stick with. That definitely bodes well for the future. Once the gut heals then they can absorb nutrients and heal. His becoming worse is a little worrisome, but not uncommon. There could be yeast die off or he could be getting gfcf traces here and there or he is allergic to other things (including soy) which now that he is off wheat and dairy, he is consuming more often, or he could be deficient in vitamins. They do say sometimes it gets worse before it gets better--if that makes any sense!
Also, we started speech therapy all day every day with our son to keep him connected. The speech therapist trained us to do the speech therapy. I wouldn't let him escape into playing with doors and the vacuum and keys for hours on end. I engaged him constantly by basically mimicking the very animated CONNECTED speech therapist we had. It is a lot of work--I KNOW!

Excellent post! Ours ended up being soy and oats after being tested! We do eat gluten and casein, but limited. I have seen great improvements! Yeast can also run rampant and wreck havoc on the gut! We keep it and sugar low too!Print this post
Thanks for your wise words in response to her question. There are SO many kids and parents that will be helped by your response!

In our experience with our son, there is also a 'withdrawl' period when going off of Casein and Gluten. This could last up to 6 weeks as the body is craving these proteins. Our bodies often crave what is the worst for us. My son had a terrible time coming off of these foods.Print this post

I agree with anonymous, I myself did the GF, CF and Yeast free diet for 6 months with my child so I could know what it felt like and the first month was so awful I felt like I was going through drug withdrawal but after about a month I started to feel really good and then in the coming months better than I ever felt in my life. The withdrawal period is hard and probably why you think your child is worse now. It will get better if you stick with it.Print this post

Any one do a 6.8 spc conversion,Im rather interested in this cartridge.It seems to cover intermediate rifle performance quite well.Just curious and Id like to see some photos.Thanks guys.
Any one do a 6.8 spc conversion,Im rather interested in this cartridge.It seems to cover intermediate rifle performance quite well.Just curious and Id like to see some photos.Thanks guys.
Yeah we discussed this a while back. I think it would be a good conversion, probably easiest to convert a Saiga .223 rifle or something similar. .223 mags should work but it probably needs a new follower.

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Id go with a 6.5 grendal instead.
I have a 6.8 spc barrel but the round just dosent excite me. Id start with a 223 kit or sagia with spring loaded firing pin and open the bolt up. a 223 ak to ar mag converter would allow you to use the 6.8 spc specific mags. its certainl doable.
there are now two versions of the 6.8 spc the version two its the one to have as it allows higher performance. the twist is differant as well.
I'll have to read up on v 2 as I thought that was for a chamber improvement that wasn't made to the first batch of barrels.
The reason for 6.8 is that you get .308-level performance out to 400 yards in a .223 sized package. Nothing more. A 6.5 Grendel / 6.5 PPC is for long-range accuracy in a .223 package. The whole "no one can use our reamers but us" thing with AA has really turned me off to the 6.5 Grendel altogether.

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
reamers that are very close to the original are avaliabel for rent. they work well I did a barrel for a vz 58 that came out good.The whole "no one can use our reamers but us" thing with AA has really turned me off to the 6.5 Grendel altogether.
your get 308 trajectory out of a 6.8 but you dont get the performance of a 150GR 30cal upon impact.
the 6.8 has never performed as remington advertised
If ya want a 6.5 grendel you can use a 6.5 bpc reamer. Thats what I rented for ibiggun when he did the barrel for my vz-58. What he did for me worked awesome. I agree with ya on what AA has been doing. The grendel would have really taken off if A.A. would have allowed it to. Personally I like it much better than the 6.8 spc . Comparing the two AR uppers I have, the grendel is much more accurate and that's using wolf ammo.
Not to drift, but I think Les Baer Custom, Inc. released the .264 LBC-AR so maybe the Grendel reamer thing will loosen up a bit.
I saw that and it appears,if I read it right, that the specs over lap and it would work with grendel ammo. Probably their way of getting around A.A. fees.
theres there is more than a hand full of reamers out there that will shoot the grendal round the 6.5 green doll is one. not to take away from alexander armsas he is the one to bring the round to market but he didnt do anything that wildcaters have been doing since day one. he took a wildcat (6mm PPC) of a wild cat (220 russan) and wilded cated it by blowing the shoulder forward and expanding the neck. there were already 6.5mm PPC and variants out there. He did a lot with the round but also killed it by trying to hold onto the rights to be the only one to make the chamber. The easy way to go around that is do exactly what he did Wildcat his wildcat. add a thou to the length change the neck dia slightly or the neck angle a degree and order a reamer. There are nemerious improved versions of the grendal out there.
If i want a 6.5mm rifle tht does every thing that the grendal does but better on a AK plate form ill just build a 260 remington, OH WAIT I ALREADY AM. If I want to buid a close version to a 6.8 spc that will far excede it ill just build a 7mm-08 OH WAIT I ALREADY AM. its pretty simple to get a 308 length round into a standard AK reciver why keep trying to get more from a small round when a bigger better cheaper version will work. the grendal and 6.8spc both run higher pressures than the 7.62x39 BTW. Your going to haave to mod a reciver and do custom stuff might as well just make it take a 308win length round while your at it. grendal and spc ammo is not cheap so your going to want to reload any way to feed it might as well just reduce loads slightly on a 22-250,243,260, 7mm-08, 308, 338-08, 358-08, etc to get what you want and use cheaper avaliable brass. oh yea there is a 6.8-308 / 270-308 wild cat out there as well nobody really uses it much because the 6.5mm and 7mm bullets are better and more choices.

Case of Y.J.
Seventeen-year-old Y.J. is an 11th grade special education student attending high school in the San Lorenzo District. In November 2009, she was suspended from high school. Although Y.J. has a learning disability and an individualized education plan, the District found that her behavior was not a manifestation of her disability and initiated expulsion proceedings against her. Pending her expulsion hearing, Y.J. was placed in an alternative education program including four hours per week of individualized instruction. The District's proposed post-expulsion placement was a continuation school that Y.J. did not want to attend due to educational and safety concerns. YELP students Jenna Sheldon-Sherman ('11) and Luke Weiger ('10) then began representing Y.J. in her expulsion and special education matters.
After conversations with the District's attorney and Director of Student Support Services, Jenna and Luke were able to negotiate a suspended expulsion with the District that included an option to remain in the alternative education program, with an additional two hours of instruction per week. Jenna and Luke next confronted Y.J.'s special education needs. Although Y.J. is enrolled in the 11th grade, she is severely credit-deficient and in jeopardy of not completing high school. She is also lacking direction for future career goals and opportunities. To help meet Y.J.'s education and future career-related needs, Jenna and Luke accompanied Y.J. to an individualized education plan (IEP) meeting where they clarified her high-school completion goals and discussed transition services. Y.J. will now have the option of enrolling in career-related classes that will provide her with the opportunity to accumulate additional credit towards graduation and the chance to get hands-on experience with a possible future vocation. Y.J., her mother, and her educators note that Y.J. is presently making more educational progress than she has in years.

McFARLANE TOYS FEATURED ON 'CSI' SEASON FINALE
May 17th Episode to Be Based on McFarlane Action Figures
Friday, May 11, 2007
McFarlane action figures are set to appear on the #1 rated television show worldwide, CSI – Crime Scene Investigation.
For the entire season, the CSI team has been searching for a killer who makes a miniature replica of the scene in which the bodies of his victims are to be found, along with a doll that resembles each victim – and McFarlane action figures are key to this storyline. In the season finale, scheduled to air on Thursday, May 17 the "miniature killer" is exposed after a doll of a victim is found among McFarlane Toys action figures.
"We jumped at the chance to have our toys featured on CSI," says McFarlane Toys CEO Todd McFarlane. "It's only natural that if you look into the mind of a serial killer, you'd find something... off. Something disturbing. One thing we pride ourselves on is the deadly accuracy of our action figures. Combine that attention to detail with some of the darker subject matter we have been known to tackle, and we seem to make the perfect fit for the storyline they have been developing all season."
CSI – Crime Scene Investigation airs on Thursdays at 9PM EST/PST. Check out cbs.com/primetime/csi/ for more information.

Is there any word on how he is doing? With AB gone, is he the planned number 2 back?
Is there any word on how he is doing? With AB gone, is he the planned number 2 back?
2 back system. They'll split carries. If we get some decent run blocking they could be SCARY good!
The word right now is they plan on placing a tender on him.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
...........but is there any word on how his recovery is going?
No one remembers who came in second.
^ Nope but I'm sure he's on schedule. Fractured fibula is not that serious to recover from. My friend had the same injury and only took him about 2 months.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
I am very excited for Brown to get more carries this year. He may not be the most athletic RB in the league, but his vision on the field more than makes up for it. Even though he is a big guy he is still shifty and can often make something out of nothing, especially on the goal line. Since he has been on the bench most of his career, he is still relatively fresh. We could have a nice RB duo for years to come!
I would not be surprised to see Andre Brown get as many carries as Wilson, and maybe more.....he has the tools (including blocking) that allows him to be on the field for pretty much any down or distance.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

I don't understand that part.
I'm just guessin', it was when seats were taken...
My theory is that in the new version of reality Jake created, something prevented Roland from being able to stop the fall of the Tower, and that the earthquakes are part of the process of the fabric of reality ripping itself apart. Mr. King has said that he intentionally didn't link the two stories (11/22/63 and The Dark Tower), but I'm not buying it, personally.
roland-shmoland...there was ample, and easy opportunity for king to tie in anything he wanted...he doesn't need, at this late stage, to get all hocusy-pocusy about it...like we'd all be fooled !!
of course, why, after saying before that everything in every book is connected, he did not...that's another conspiracy theory, right ?
didn't portal boy say something like each trip is not a complete reset..and each trip that changed things twisted life, the universe and everything more and more...and some trips twisted it all the hades...and who knew what might happen when it got twisted too much...(now we might have a clue !)
what if...'11/22/63' is to 'the dark tower' what 'the regulators' is to 'desperation'
Back to the original question. My feeling was that the number of atomic/hydrogen bomb explosions that occurred caused a number of faults in the earth's crust, creating the earthquakes. Maybe junk science, but who knows?
I thought it had something to do with the Yellow Card Man saying that if Jake messed up too many strings, reality itself would cease to exist. I thought the earthquakes were tied to the reality of the world--that reality itself was imploding/exploding.
I would have thought it was due to the drastic changes that occurred due to the politics involved with the EPA--except that the first earthquake occurred before Jake returned to 2011. That's why I think it was due to reality being threatened.
I thought that it was because the bigger the changes you make in the past the bigger reality/world/fate would rebel.
