Gaia Eros:
Reconnecting to the Magic and Spirit of Nature
by Jesse Wolf Hardin
New Page Books, 2004
The day I received my review copy of Gaia Eros, my husband and I went to bed and took turns reading Jesse Wolf Hardin's luminous essays aloud long into the night. At one point the sound of wolves howling came in through our cabin's open windows. Their voices wove in and out of my husband's voice as he read about sacred self-indulgence and the power of longing, heightening the meaning of Hardin's words.

Go Outside!
by Phil Brucato
Where are you, right this minute? If you're like most of us, you're probably sitting inside an air-conditioned house, maybe with a TV or computer humming away in the background, electric light on overhead and the smell of fast food wafting through your living space.
Aren't we Pagans? Don't we revere Nature? Didn't we renounce the gods of books in favor of a gospel spoken every moment by the Earth? Yes? Then why are so many of us sitting inside with feet propped up on coffee tables, remote in one hand and cheeseburger in the other? As summer arrives, is there any good answer for that question?
Really. Go outside.
Normally, this column focuses on Paganism and popular culture. Not all culture, though, comes from books, games, music, or the Internet. As I pondered my next article, my roommate Cory and I got on a rant about Pagans who spend their lives wrapped up in air-conditioned cocoons. That's when I knew what I had to write about this issue: not about passive media culture, but about the active culture just outside the culture of the living world.

How to Catch Fairies
by Gilly Sergiev
Fair Winds Press
(Zero Broomsticks)
This book induced a roiling case of indigestion.
I have studied fairy lore my entire life. Real fairy lore, mind you, not this demented claptrap. The author, who calls herself a "white witch, healer and spiritualist who has a passion for Craft lore," did not bother to learn anything about the subject of the Good Folk, the Gentry or the Good Neighbors before she wrote this ridiculous little book.

I Am the Mountain Walking
by Dr. Douglas Ezzy, artwork by Bodie Parkhurst
Mountains do not walk. Not in the sense that most people think of humans walking. But that is precisely the point. If you assume that only humans are truly alive, that only humans are active, that only humans think, feel, and have emotions and hopes, then the rest of the world looks lifeless. But what if not only dolphins, whales, and chimpanzees, but also trees, orchids, creeks, rocks, rivers, and even mountains were alive? What if they were "people" with purposes, activities, and "spirit," just the same as humans?
Or, to put it differently, what if I am not only human, but also part of the mountain, and the mountain is part of me? From that perspective, mountains do indeed walk. When I walk, the mountain also walks, because the mountain is part of me. I am the mountain walking.

Where is Gaia,
when we need Her most?
A guest editorial by Kenaz Filan.
At 6:10 a.m. CDT on August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast. By 11:00 a.m. several of the levees which separate New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain had been breached. The birthplace of Dixieland Jazz, Mardi Gras, and New Orleans Vodou soon lay submerged beneath a stinking cocktail of brackish water, raw sewage, and petro-chemicals. People asked "where were the lwa? How could they let something like this happen to their city?
any theological issues deal with nebulous abstractions, but the question of suffering is always direct and straightforward. We cannot help but be concerned about homeless children, about shattered families, about old people dying of exposure and young women raped by roving gangs of thugs.
The devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina throws the question of suffering in our face. Few cities rivaled New Orleans for its concentration of Witches, magicians, sorcerers, rootworkers, and other Spiritually Aware Folks. It has long been known as the Vodou Capital of America: if any city in the United States was home to the lwa and the spirits, it was New Orleans. And yet all of that magical power was not enough to turn away a hurricane or to hold the levees in place. What does Hurricane Katrina tell us about our magic, or about the spirits we serve and the gods we honor? These are not easy questions, but they demand an answer nonetheless.

Spiritual Bathing
by Rosita Arvigo and Nadine Epstein
Celestial Arts, 2003
We've come along way from Mr. Bubble and rubber duckies!
In Spiritual Bathing, one finds a beautiful tribute to the spiritual significance of the humble bath. Along with other "luxuries" — such as aroma-therapies, spa services, and massage — the healing properties of baths, showers, and saunas are greater than we ever believed, and these practices are now considered necessities rather than luxuries. As the stress and hectic busyness of modern life spirals out of control, there has to be a compensation, a move towards simplicity, relaxation, and nurturance that repairs the damage done to our minds and bodies.

That all depends on how high you want them mounted. There is nothing that mandates how high.
I'm getting ready to run wiring for five outdoor receptacle and am wondering how far off the ground they must be?
That all depends on how high you want them mounted. There is nothing that mandates how high.
It might be prudent to keep them out of the 'splash' zone (the area where rainfall splashes back up after running off the roof) and above the normal snow load (probably not a consideration in warmer states). Then, I don't like to have to lean over too far, either!

Also remember that PVC boxes and pipe will fracture easily when cold. If using PVC I highly recommend using 80 instead of 40 and nothing smaller than ¾ inch for its strength.
There's no minimum height requirement for recepticals in residential applications. The only requirements are that for each dwelling at grade level there is one receptical accessible not more than 6.5" at the front and back of the dwelling.

Corphish is one of the most uncommon Pokemon in Little Cup. It has good physical stats, but disappointingly poor Speed and average HP stats that undermine them. It doesn't help that Croagunk, the premier priority abuser in LC, walks all over it either. However, Corphish's access to both Dragon Dance and Crunch give it an advantage over Krabby as a physical Water-type, allowing it to boost both its Attack and Speed simultaneously, and hit Ghost-types super effectively. All in all, you should not expect too much from Corphish, as it is still a rather average Pokemon, but you should know that it isn't without its niche.
Corphish, unboosted, hits 14 Speed with a Jolly nature, allowing it to outpace all un-Scarfed Pokemon in Little Cup after a Dragon Dance. Waterfall is for STAB, and Return provides solid neutral coverage. Crunch is what sets Corphish apart from Krabby, as it crushes Ghosts who switch in to a predicted Return. Also, without a single Dragon Dance, Corphish can OHKO Duskull with Crunch, unlike Krabby, who can't with Crabhammer. After a single Dragon Dance, Corphish hits 25 Attack (backed by Life Orb) and 21 Speed. With this raw power, Corphish destroys a lot of the metagame with its assortment of attacks. Gligar is OHKOed regardless of its set, which is a testament to how powerful Corphish can be if it is set up properly. Corphish can also OHKO Munchlax 29% of the time after one Dragon Dance with Waterfall.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
After a Swords Dance, Corphish reaches a mind-blowing Attack stat of 34. With proper support, this Corphish can rip apart teams. Once again, priority is a problem, but that is solved to an extent by Baton Passing it a Substitute. Waterfall, Crunch, and Return are the token attacks, and together, have excellent coverage in tandem with each other.
Low Speed and a weakness to priority are this Corphish's main problems when attempting to sweep. Corphish's low Speed stat, while quite crippling, can be fixed by proper team support. This set works extremely well against the rare stall teams, as they usually have slow Pokemon such as Munchlax and Bronzor, against whom Speed is not an issue. Corphish is able to set up on them and then do some sweeping. On the other hand, offensive teams make Corphish cry, as even if it manages to get a Swords Dance up, it can usually only score a single KO at most because of its terrible Speed. Another unfortunate piece of news is that very few people use stall teams in Little Cup, which means that it will be hard for Corphish to set up on anything.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Corphish reaches the magical number of 14 in its Speed stat, allowing it to use a Choice Scarf effectively. This set doesn't pack as much power as the others, but it does has good revenge killing potential. This set can hit everything in Little Cup for at least neutral damage; as usual, Waterfall is a good STAB move, while Crunch and Return are hard-hitting coverage moves. The last slot is mostly filler, and should be decided based on what bonus hits you want Corphish to achieve; Rock Slide coves Flying-types, while Brick Break covers Dark-types, and also 2HKOes Snover. Superpower is an outside choice for hit-and-run tactics, but it is not recommended due to the difficulty of bringing Corphish in without suffering a lot of damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Slapping a Choice Band on Corphish sounds viable, but Corphish is so slow that it essentially gives your opponent free turns. Besides, the Dragon Dance and Swords Dance sets are vastly superior to Choice Band.
A specially-based set sounds good, but it is walled by Munchlax, who will inevitably come in when the surprise is revealed. Payback is outclassed by Crunch, as Corphish can't take a hit anyway. Protect is good for scouting, but has no place on Corphish's sets. Superpower is another option, but the Attack drops are unwelcome. A mixed sweeper set is also a viable option, since Corphish gets many good special attacks, such as Ice Beam, Sludge Bomb, and STAB Surf.
Checks and Counters
Croagunk is the best counter to Corphish, being able to switch in on Waterfall with impunity, and use Fake Out followed by Vacuum Wave to deal massive damage. However, it should be wary of switching into Return from the Dragon Dance and Sword Dance sets.
The sets that need setup are stopped by Croagunk and Dratini, while the Choice Scarf set requires prediction, and can be taken advantage of when Corphish is locked in on the wrong move. Waterfall is an entry hole for Croagunk, Return allows Gastly in to set up a Substitute, while Crunch and Rock Slide are setup fodder for Rock Polish Aron. All of these Pokemon become dangerous if given a free turn, and must be played around carefully. All of these Pokemon, as well as others, can easily set up on Corphish while you have to switch out.

According to Wikipedia,
A Patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national government) to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for the public disclosure of an invention. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The hard fact lies beneath. Patents are granted for an uncomfortably long duration of time. And companies are, and have been using, or rather abusing, the patent system to cut down on competition and kill creativity.
The instant question that comes to the mind after reading the above statement is that "Mr Singh, are you referring to the Microsoft and Android patent wars and extortion?" My answer would be yes. The world thinks that Microsoft and Apple are evil corporations that do not have anything else to do rather than bug small time firms, which are already hard on cash, with their lousy patent wars.
But they did not come with this ingenious idea by themselves. Probability is that someone from these companies might have had read history. And there goes a story 30 years prior to the present day.
When Sun microsystems was still in its infancy, in 1980, a team of men dressed in dark blue suits visited its office to tell Sun that it was infringing seven of IBM's patents. In the largest conference room Sun had, they all crammed up along with the employees of Sun, all of who had engineering and law degrees.
After IBM presented them with a "presentation" on how Sun infringed on IBM's patents, Sun meticulously busted their claims on a whiteboard.
The chief blue suit orchestrated the presentation of the seven patents IBM claimed were infringed, the most prominent of which was IBM's notorious "fat lines" patent: To turn a thin line on a computer screen into a broad line, you go up and down an equal distance from the ends of the thin line and then connect the four points. You probably learned this technique for turning a line into a rectangle in seventh-grade geometry, and, doubtless, you believe it was devised by Euclid or some such 3,000-year-old thinker. Not according to the examiners of the USPTO, who awarded IBM a patent on the process.
After Sun had ingeniously defended its stance and proved that only one of the seven IBM patents would be deemed valid by a court, and no rational court would find that Sun's technology infringed even that one.
An awkward silence ensued. The blue suits did not even confer among themselves. They just sat there, stonelike. Finally, the chief suit responded. "OK," he said, "maybe you don't infringe these seven patents. But we have 10,000 U.S. patents. Do you really want us to go back to Armonk [IBM headquarters in New York] and find seven patents you do infringe? Or do you want to make this easy and just pay us $20 million?"
After a modest bit of negotiation, Sun cut IBM a check, and the blue suits went to the next company on their hit list.
Now comes the story of the developers in the US. Apparently, app developers are withdrawing their apps from the US App store and the Android Market for no reason other than the fear of a lawsuit from corporations like MS, Apple, and companies like an Lodsys and similar kind who have gone on a patent trolling crusade.
These patents have grown up into a revenue generating tool. The trick is simple, you just find a small time company who infringes a part of your patent, and you threaten it with a choice: lawsuit or extortion. The small time developers, even if they are not guilty, are not able to bear the costs of defending themselves. They eventually have to give up.
Developers have responded to this with comments like
…selling software in the US has already reached the non-viable tipping point
…starting to get seriously concerned about my future as a software developer due to these patent issues
…far too dangerous to do business in the US because of the risk of software patent lawsuits.
Just imagine the tremendous loss of the consumer and creativity alike.
We wonder if the current patent system makes any sense for a free market economy? Even a child would deduce that the patent system, combined with extortion would do nothing more than killing the introduction of new and better products.
Readers are welcome to share their thoughts on the same.

- Silicon Valley's 19 Coolest Places to Work
- Is Windows 8 Development Worth the Trouble?
- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
Network World - Obsession is its own reward, as the iOSphere constantly shows. The rumorati were gaga over a stock analyst's speculation that iPhone 6 would be available in, of all things, different colors.
You can ask Nokia how well that strategy worked for its Lumia Windows Phone lineup.
RELATED: Never mind iPhone 6-9 - here's iPhone 10!
Also this week, the revelation that Apple is, once again, testing its next generation phone hardware and software, just as it's done for the last five or six years; and new speculation that IZGO display technology will be the next Big Thing for the iPhone, even though most users probably won't notice its benefits.
You read it here second.
"I don't understand how this is news. They do the same thing every year. I think it would be news if they WEREN'T testing anything new."
The iOSphere was abuzz and agog after Brian White, a veteran technology stock analyst currently with Topeka Capital Markets, announced his expectation that the Next iPhone, whatever its name, will come in colors other than black and white.
"Multiple" in this case apparently means eight colors, or 10 if the black and white models are different from the "silver" and "slate" models of the iPhone 6 (or 5S).
Oh yes: White also expects or foresees or predicts that the Next iPhone will have "multiple screen sizes," according to AppleInsider's Neil Hughes. The iPhone 5 was the first model to have a 4-inch screen; all the earlier ones have a 3.5-inch screen.
In the old-fashioned Lamestream Media, this was called "burying the lead" -- meaning that the real news, or in this case, the real rumor, was ignored in favor of obsessive trivia.
Hughes quotes from White's investor note that "This eventually opens up the possibility for a lower-priced iPhone (i.e., iPhone mini) with a smaller screen size that could allow Apple to further penetrate markets such as China and open up opportunities in India."
AppleInsider quotes White on the reason for shifting to several screen sizes: "We believe this is about to change with the next iPhone offering different screen sizes that we believe will allow Apple to better bifurcate the market and expand its reach."
"Bifurcate" means to divide into two, which ties into White's stated expectation of an "iPhone mini" with a lower price, supposedly to spur iPhone sales in those emerging markets.
But one gets the sense that AppleInsider isn't too interested in what the Chinese and Indians want in terms of screen size. "The possibility of different iPhone screen sizes also opens up the opportunity for Apple to build a handset with a larger display," Hughes points out, though White himself apparently doesn't address this. Hughes means "larger than the larger, 4-inch display first introduced a few months ago with the iPhone 5."

Classic Cocktails from A to Z: The Algonquin
Some things just go together -- and the obvious accompaniment to food is drink. Today marks the launch of Booze52, in which we explore all manner of libations that do much more than just wash down a meal.
We figured a good place to start was an exploration of the world's greatest cocktails of all time. Why are they worth ordering or making, and what made them so damn great in the first place? So, welcome to Classic Cocktails from A to Z. We start with an inscrutable cocktail called the Algonquin.
Ever fancy yourself part of the Round Table? Not that round table, of Lancelot and Arthur. No, the real one, at the Algonquin Hotel on West 44th Street. The place where in the 1920s famous people like Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Herbert Ross once sat for hours every day, quaffing illicit highballs, critiquing each other's work and even launching The New Yorker.
They did not drink Algonquins, however. Those came later. In fact, Kevin Gray of Cocktail Enthusiast comments that the Algonquin was likely "one of those drinks where the creator must have rummaged through his booze stash and fridge, found it to be lacking and said, 'What the hell, let's give this a shot.' "
The Algonquin is a simple blend of rye whiskey, not-too-dry vermouth and pineapple juice. What works really well in this cocktail is the balance. Unlike many drinks sweetened with fruit juice, the Algonquin does not turn into dessert. Rye whiskey gives it a spicy kick -- it's considerably drier than its cousin bourbon. And vermouth -- herb-y enough to be dry, sweet enough to play nice with the rye -- plays counterpoint to the juice, which although unsweetened is nevertheless a serious contender for attention.
Playing Around with Your Algonquin
Since no recipe is sacred, you now have your canvas. You should stick to rye whiskey, but the choices here are many. Fortunately, rye distilleries are coming back to life, many offering small-batch versions that play up its unmistakable (think rye bread) flavor. Rittenhouse Rye is the one many bartenders use and recommend -- it offers high-quality taste at an affordable price. For a less sweet, intensely rye flavor, consider Russell's Reserve Rye or Bulleit Rye. For the vermouth, choose a smooth one like Noilly Prat. There really is a significant difference between vermouths, so experiment and ask your favorite bartender for recommendations.
One fancy extra we really like is orange bitters, which David Wondrich at Esquire suggests. He recommends Fee Bros., but Regans Orange Bitters and Angostura Orange Bitters hold their own in the cocktail without overpowering it. Add a couple of dashes; if the cupboard is bare of bitters squeeze an orange peel into the drink (swish it around a little if no one's watching).
You may not end up channeling Ernest Hemingway or launching a magazine after a round or two, but the Algonquin is a delicious, bracing cocktail that will make you feel very happy.
Serves 1
1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey
3/4 ounce dry vermouth
3/4 ounce unsweetened pineapple juice
Combine the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Stir vigorously but don't shake (shaking will make the pineapple juice foam). Strain into a martini glass.
Save and print the recipe here.

Love the booze52 column! There is a craft distillery in Boston called GrandTen Distilling that makes Wire Works Gin and Fire Puncher Vodka. Both are unique and very good. The Wire Works Gin was recently mentioned in the Nov issue of Food and Wine magazine. I would love to see a recipe using either the gin or the vodka in a cocktail.

Hello all, I've just joined this group. I don't know what sort of things generally get posted here or what the etiquette is, so forgive me if this isn't the right place for what I'm writing.
I'm suffering, and have suffered for most of my life, what would probably be considered 'depression'. I also have trouble with anxiety, and problems with mood regulation in general.
However, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say I don't believe in medical depression in the sense that it is an 'illness' with 'symptoms' that can be treated, and the patient brought back to good mental health. 'Good mental health' in this sense implies that the natural state of affairs for a human being is to be happy, balanced, satisfied and confident. And that any other frame of mind is a distortion.
I don't believe that. I don't believe happiness is our state of nature. I'm not implying that misery is, but that our moods and experiences are circumstantial and experiential. (Not sure if that last one is a real word.... if it isn't, it should be).
And here's the catch, and the factor that I believe makes depression and misery so common: is that the world is not a happy place. Our higher psychological and emotional needs, and those of others, are in a continual battle with our more base, animal instincts: greed, lust, desire for power, selfishness, etc. We experience the consequences of these in our every day lives far more than we experience the more 'enlightened' kinds of human behaviour. From our parents, our culture, our society.
That's how I see it, and my problem, with this in mind, is a pretty huge one. I have a problem with existing in this world. I have a problem with people. I am very sensitive and I find that the reality of the world, if we choose to face it without rose tinted glasses (of religion or any other delusion)- is one of untold suffering, lies, manipulation, greed, patriarchy, and general all-round evil. It is wearing me down. On some days, I stay inside my room and think of all the beautiful things in life. On others, it overwhelms me and there's nothing I can do. I sit and cry (yes) at the state of this planet and of the human condition. I don't think of suicide per se (my elder brother committed suicide and I witnessed the devastation it caused.) But I feel like I'm waiting for a horrible ride to end, just passing the time until it's time to get off. If anyone had informed me about the reality of the world prior to my birth and asked me whether I agree on going through with it, I wouldn't sign that contract. When it comes down to it, I don't want to die, but I really don't want to be here either. But since I'm here I have to find a way to deal with it until it's time to get off. Please, I'm having a really shitty day today. If there's anyone out there who 'gets' what I'm writing and is maybe a little older and/or wiser and has a few words of advice, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading. x

I went through a clinical depression that lasted 2 years. Eventually, I wandered out of it. (Many people who've been through a deep depression they are no longer in will understand the metaphor of "wandering out of it.")
This may sound silly, but what worked for me was whenever a negative thought entered my head, I treated it as another person and (silently, mentally) talked back to it telling it to go away. Eventually, the thoughts got less negative and now I'm only depressed when there's an actual reason to be depressed, such as recently when my father was dying and there was nothing I could do to help him other than to be around, which, believe me, ain't fun!
Another thing that helped me when I was depressed was being involved in a program that had me around people with far bigger problems than mine, which gave me perspective on my own issues. I'm talking about crippled people, people with muscle control problems such that they could hardly talk even though their brains were very sharp, mentally challenged people, including a girl in her early twenties with cheerleader body and looks but the mind of an 8 year old. After a while, I began to realize that, Hell, my problems weren't all that bad and who the heck did I think I was to think my problems merited much attention at all.
So, you've cataloged many of the bad things about life. How about cataloging the good ones? Also, volunteer. Making yourself useful helps, especially if you can volunteer working with people with serious issues or people in far more need than you.
At heart, clinical depression is a serotonin deficiency. You can try for the antidepressant approach or you can DIY as I did. (I tried antidepressants and couldn't stand the side effects.)
The main thing is not to sit around and stew. When you get out there and FIGHT, even if you don't win every or any battle, at least you can feel like something other than just a leaf floating on a stream of negativity.
You are correct that chronic clinical depression is a serotonin deficiency. I call it a chemical imbalance --- & that is what doesn't get better or go away by "doing things" or trying to think differently.
I don't believe that. I don't believe happiness is our state of nature. I'm not implying that misery is, but that our moods and experiences are circumstantial and experiential. (Not sure if that last one is a real word.... if it isn't, it should be).
Another thing.....everyone on this planet with very few exceptions is going through some shit of some sort. There's always someone who has it worse than you. Happiness when it does come to us is something to relish and take in when those moments are there and enjoy them.
I do not know if you've had a hard life or not, but I do know that another thing I always say is, "I'm always OK." that is to say I allow myself the slack to not be "great" but I'm also not ever horrible. Even when life bitchslaps me in the face I can always say, "I'm always OK"....This gives me the strength to put one foot in front of the other...I cannot conquer the world when life brings me down, but I can think about what needs to happen within the next 5 minutes. This is manageable.... Sometimes I have to make a small list of things I want to accomplish that day and I don't over-extend my abilities. Even if I only do 2 things at least I've done those two things.
My depression and anxiety has ALWAYS been circumstancial. I've never needed or wanted anti-depressants. But I've suffered a lot of depression from the shit life has thrown my way. But I've won. I've persevered. I've become a better person and I am still dealing with more shit as we speak. I wouldn't say I am happy, but I AM capable. I am in control and I do know that I'm on solid ground. This gives me a certain sense of what you MIGHT call happiness...If nothing else I'm hopeful. Maybe hopeful is all we ever need to be.
I like the part about "putting one foot in front of the other", & making it thru "the next 5 minutes" - that seems to work for me. My mother told me (after my first serious suicide attempt) - " when you think about it (dying), tell yourself "just wait till next Wednesday". That also seemed to work, as thing would come up to take my mind away -- it worked so well 5 decades have passed & I am now 71 yrs. old. So some of these things work -- but I don't connect with the word "hopeful". What would I be hopeful for? Or what would I "hope" for? I can't think of anything - except for good health, which I have & will continue to hope for.
What would I be hopeful for? Or what would I "hope" for? I can't think of anything - except for good health, which I have & will continue to hope for.
Hope simply means knowing that your life does and will have significant meaning. I for example am hopeful despite the fact that I have faced abuse of some sort my entire life, I hope to give my son a better life. I hope for many things in the future. Hope is the ability to see the possibilities of the future and strive towards them. Hope is knowing that life is beautiful even if we don't "feel like it is." Hope is learning to combat your own "feelings." I would even venture to say that hope isn't a feeling but a state of mind. Hope is something you can have even if you are going through HELL. Hope requires no effort when it's derived from a broken state. When you feel like the world just couldn't get any worse hope allows you to look out the window and see something beautiful, and know that life is not all bad. The battles sometimes is seeing the color among the gray, hence the poem I shared. Hope is not the same as happiness. Hope can transform the mind and give you strength. The poorest of the poor have hope. Not necessarily happiness, and they can be some of the seemingly happy people on the planet. They certainly can also be very generous in my experience, willing to give their life savings to make you, their guest comfortable. Why is that? Because they have hope. The religious say that they have faith. I believe that faith is a deluded and incomplete substitute for hope, but it is the same thing ultimately.
In high school I had this very strange, but telling dream which I remember as if it was yesterday.
A teacher compaired me to 'Johnathan Livingston Seagull' and the 'Little Prince'. A few weeks latter I had the dream: I was walking railroad tracks and passed parked box cars with open doors, and all connected on a track. As I continued to walk the box cars ended, to be replaced with emthy track Around me I was surrounded my open grass fields and tall grass in clumps along the track. I started to hear someone crying, and could smell the scent of death, so I started to look to find the source of the crying and the smell. All of a sudden I nearly tripped over a shoe box with a dieing sea gull inside that was crying and pleading, 'please don't hurt me mister.....'. I looked up from the location of the box and noticed far off buildings that looked unfinished and lost in fog. Then I woke up!
I have always interpreted the dream as indicating the choice between the catagories with in culture, a horrible settling, and a future that is undefined. It seemed that setting off across the field should be my ultimate choice, but I could end up in a shoe box with horrible regrets and in isolation. The boxcars might offer certainty and comfort, but they might just be bigger shoe boxes.
I expect, my dear, that you might be at a similar place as I. Sadly, it is unclear if my choices had been well made, or just not yet matured. I expect that religion can appear as another 'show box' for a soul/identity that might desire freedom. Sometimes I feel my isolation and the surrounding culture seems less than inviting at times. I think if you look closely, our encounters with culture seem to be defined around conformity, measures of certainty, and comfort. I expect that each 'shoe-box/box-car' offers some approximation/solution for these. Sadly, they can offer no solution to our mortality, but they might offer some degree of 'forgetfulness'.
So what do you want?
For me, I wanted peace, sufficient free time to not feel like a wage slave, the opportunity to pursue my wonder/curiosity, another dear soul that I might share the adventure with, enough 'money' to drive the system forward with limited ethical compromises, and the opportunity to be in the world and still be in-touch with 'honesty'. The details are still unsettled, and sadly I seem to have had rather limited success. I expect the 'road less traveled' still might be unmapped with GPS. ;p)
Sorry if I'm repeating what everyone else has said...
I don't know if "happiness is not our state of nature" makes sense to me or not, in spite of all the evil in the world. Based on history, you might argue that delusion and perpetual ignorance of the hard things are our "natural" condition. For thousands of years we prayed to gods and spirits and believed in all kinds of strange things, but we also used those things to make us happy. God loves us and cares for us, and if it doesn't look that way, just believe it anyway.
If you've rejected that, then maybe you've gone beyond what's "natural" and found something better. Racism is natural. Stealing, rape, and murder are natural. Dying from smallpox or malaria is natural. But we are slowly moving beyond that, creating our own reality and our own nature.
I hope someone here has said something that is useful to you, or that you seek professional help if you are having trouble going on. As you said, there is no point in suicide. If we don't believe in heaven or hell, there is nothing at all after this life. We don't have the hope of something better after we pass on. This existence is all we have, and once it's gone, we can never get it back.
I think we can be positive without completely diving into delusion. I think we can choose to see the good in the world even if we know the bad looms so large. I think things ARE getting better on earth--what with modern medicine, the decline of racism, the acceptance of homosexuals, the spread of education and knowledge. Remember the starfish story. It's sappy, yes, but I think it is still true that making one small insignificant difference is better than nothing.
Also, I know you don't want to live your life with rose-colored glasses, but are you sure you want to completely throw them away? When I go out in the bright sun, I put on my sunglasses. When I go inside, or it's cloudy, I take them off again. It's very useful to be able to have both.
Think if a dragon were coming to destroy your whole village. You have no weapons, and nowhere to run, and you know if you hide, the dragon will find you by scent.
You could try to hide anyway, and spend the last few hours huddled in the darkness. You could sit and cry and moan about your fate and your upcoming death. You could argue with other about why they didn't think to get any weapons. Or, if you can find a guitar or harmonica, you could get up and dance, dance in spite of the danger, dance in the very jaws of the dragon. It may be that, when the dragon finds you dancing, he will be so swept up by your joy that he does not destroy anything. But if not, if he does destroy it all anyway, and everyone is killed, you have spent your last few minutes dancing. And that has to be good for something.
Maybe the 'absence of creativity' in this instance does become a problem. I expect that the dragon is less creative than a human, but the dragon has hunger, size, absence of conscience, and power on its side. What comes to my mind, what about burning the town, and digging in. The smoke would make it appear that another dragon had been there already, and would cover the smell of crunchy humans! Dispursing the town's population over a wide area would help to reduce the chance of a crunchy encounter with the dragon, and allow a few towns folk to survive to play/plant another day. Just a thought if I were to live on a planet of dragons and smarter humans....
Now this does feel very insensitive. I do hope you always find a silver lining with everything that comes your way. Cah-cah has a tendency to drop on the most unassuming head.
I do not remember myself ever being 'under the weather' without a good reason.
Okay, then you've never experienced a clinical depression. Because during mine I could have been married to the most beautiful, talented, intelligent, considerate and kind woman in the world, having just won a half a billion dollars in the lottery, while enjoying universal fame and renown and STILL have been depressed.
Normal depression usually revolves around something specific (or a set of specifics) in one's life, but it relates to that/those thing/s. A clinical depression is frustrating because improving one's lot or getting rid of irritations usually does little to change it. It becomes your constant state of being.
BTW, depression isn't about being unhappy, though that can be a side effect of it. It's more about feeling irretrievably lost in a dark mental fog of pointlessness and emptiness tied with an inability to enjoy anything.
Yes, right on -- - I hope people (altho probably well meaning) who have mentioned "dragons" & "under the weather", & "healthy people who INDULGE in moody behavior" -- see this post. Thankyou
Hi Sara,
The only thing I can say is you are not alone, Steven Fry is such a nice guy, ( he is gay and an atheist) and he is also like you not always a happy funny bunny. Yes he gets quite down sometimes. but ha has learned to come to terms with his ....problem.
I would you Google the hell out of Steven, he has done many programs on his problem he is not afraid to admit it and I could suggest that If you twin yourself with a man as clever witty and when he is up he is up, ho yes and when he is down he is.... you will realise that life is worth living........

As the global leader in domain names, Verisign powers the invisible navigation that takes people to where they want to go on the Internet.
Verisign's infrastructure services help to ensure that your organization's websites are reliable and always available.
Verisign provides in-depth analysis, insight and response recommendations to help keep businesses and government organizations ahead of new and evolving cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
As the Internet continues to expand, Verisign is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe, and reliable for all users.
Sophos Small Business Suite includes the Sophos PureMessage Small
Business Edition, combining virus and spam protection for the email
gateway, and Sophos Anti-Virus Small Business Edition, which offers
desktop and server defense against the virus threat.
Remote exploitation of design vulnerability in version 1.00 of Sophos
Plc.'s Small Business Suite allows malicious code to evade detection.
The problem specifically exists in attempts to scan files and
directories named as reserved MS-DOS devices. These represent devices
such as the first printer port (LPT1) and the first serial communication
port (COM1). Sample reserved MS-DOS device names include AUX, CON, PRN,
COM1 and LPT1.
If malicious code embeds itself within a reserved device name, it can
avoid detection by Small Business Suite when the system is scanned.
Malicious code can also potentially use reserved device names to bypass
e-mail scanning, thereby potentially delivering hostile payloads to
users. Small Business Suite will scan the files and folders containing
the virus and fail to detect or report them. Real-time protection
against malicious code is also affected; if a malicious code is copied
from a file named using a reserved MS-DOS device name to another file
also named using a reserved MS-DOS device name, Small Business Suite
will not detect it.
It may also be possible for malicious code to execute without detection
from files named using reserved MS-DOS device name. Reserved device
names can be created with standard Windows utilities by specifying the
full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. The following command will
successfully copy a file to the reserved device name 'aux' on the C:
copy source \.C:aux
Exploitation allows remote attackers to launch malicious code that can
evade detection. Remote attackers can unpack or decode an otherwise
detected malicious payload in a stealth manner. Exploitation may allow
attackers to bypass e-mail filters, thereby increasing the propensity of
a target user executing a malicious attachment.
Files and directories using reserved MS-DOS device names can be removed
by specifying the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. The
following command will successfully remove a file stored on the C:
drive named 'aux':
del \.C:aux
Sophos Small Business Suite 1.00 is confirmed affected. Earlier versions
reportedly crash upon the parsing of files or directories employing
reserved MS-DOS device names.
Explicitly block file attachments that use reserved MS-DOS device names.
Ensure that no local files or directories using reserved MS-DOS device
names exist. On most modern Windows systems, reserved MS-DOS device
names should not be present. While the Windows search utility can be
used to locate offending files and directories, either a separate tool
or the specification of Universal Naming Convention (UNC) should be used
to remove them.
"LPT1, LPT2, COM1 etc are reserved by the operating system for devices.
Despite this, Windows will allow these strings to be used as file names
and when such files are accessed, the operating system attempts to treat
them as devices rather than files except under the circumstances you
have outlined.
Although this vulnerability has never been exploited by a virus it could
be theoretically be used to contain viral code. Sophos has improved its
code within both its on-access and on-demand scanners to deal with these
improperly named files as files and not devices.
This improvement to Sophos Anti-Virus will be included in version 3.86
(available 22/09/04)."
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
names CAN-2004-0552 to these issues. This is a candidate for inclusion
in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

I try to complete a challenge first thing every morning because it makes me feel accomplished and then I can move on to completing the other tasks of the day. Feeling accomplished is a great way to start the day!
The challenges provide me interesting tasks to incorporate into my day that I normally wouldn't have thought to do. Many of the challenges have become a permanent part of my day, and reading what other Daily Challenge users post sparks ideas and encourages me.
I really enjoy the flexibility and posture challenges. The "do a shoulder shrug" challenge reminded me that it is important to take time out of each day to relax. Another challenge I really liked was 'remember to say thank you.' The Daily Challenge helps remind me how important the little things can be.

text: Love and Money - I recently asked Invested Mama readers what "money matter" mattered most to them. One topic that got everyone a little hot and bothered: How to successfully share bank accounts when you decide to share a bed. Turns out there are so many sides to the money merger debate, it could not be covered in just one post. So this week's blog is the first in a three part series (I feel so "Peter Mansbridge" as I type this). In part one, we're going to discuss the logistics. There's a lot to consider when you decide to couple your cash. Next week we look at the legal implications of merging your money (I've consulted a lawyer for that post). And – finally - the dreaded topic of dealing with your partner's debt. Always, a great conversation to kick off a romantic evening. If Only It Was Easy… Before we delve in, let me first say that I believe there is no right or wrong way to divvy up your financial affairs. What works for you, works for you. But often couples will suffer through a system that clearly is not working for them just because they'd rather bring up the topic of polyamory than discuss who's responsible to pay the power bill. Spoiler alert: communication is essential. I once sat with a client who was in a long term and (by all accounts) committed relationship. Both she and her partner had been married before and both had grown children from previous relationships. They both worked outside…1

I'm a new member to this site. I have a MSI PM8M-V motherboard with VIA PM800 chipset and onboard video/sound. Here's a link to the board: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...=170&cat3_no=4
I installed a version of Leopard on a 30gb hard drive dual boot with xp my first time following a guide. Installation was easy (except the four hour install time!) and the program worked great except for my video and ethernet. I worked with it for about a half hour and decided I wanted to put it on a bigger hard drive. I had a Maxtor 200gb laying around so tried to install on that solely. Installation went well but would not boot. I started tearing into the forums and found that Maxtor wasn't supported by Leopard in any way/shape/form. In the meantime I found iDeneb v1.3. I'm not sure what was the first version I used to install. I thought maybe if I used iDeneb maybe there was a fix for my hard drive. Installed again and nothing still with the maxtor. (Install time on ideneb was only like 25 mins which was very nice).
So back to the 30gb. I tried installing the ideneb version on this as it was newer than the one I put on the day before. This time I got a constant boot loop. When I installed the first version of Leopard I had I left all options checked in customize and it worked perfectly. This time it waiting a little longer to boot loop but still had errors. I've tried several combinations since and still get the boot loop.
So being impatient I decided to just put the old Leapard I had on. The four hour install went great but the hard drive will not boot. It looks for a cd and then thats it. My boot sequence is right. I tried f8 and select hard drive and still nothing. I can't figure it out.
I would really like to install ideneb so if anyone has any suggestions how to get around the boot loop or what settings I should use I'd really appriciate the help. I'm a apple virgin so have no experience with and terminal codes.
Thanks for the help!

Milk or olive oil to brush the tops
Method: Preheat oven to 350º F.
In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients except yeast. Cut the shortening (should be at room temperature) into small pieces and stir into dry ingredients with a mixer.
In another bowl, mix together the liquid ingredients until combined. Slowly add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Pour in yeast and mix for one minute until yeast is integrated.
Prepare muffin tins or popover trays by oiling with Canola Oil spray. Scoop equal amounts into each tray and smooth the tops. Brush the tops with milk or egg yolk. Cover and rise for 20 minutes. Bake at 350º F convection or 375º F static for 15 minutes, or until set.
This is a great high protein, low sugar bread roll. It's light, fluffy, and goes well with soups, turkey dinners, and anything else!

Red-Hot Scarlett Johansson
Red-Hot Scarlett Johansson
With a debut album, two provocative new movies, and an engagement all happening at once, it's safe to say Scarlett Johansson is on a major winning streak. Here, she chats about why timing is the key to making a relationship work, and much more.
By Rebecca Keegan
Cliff Watts
Special Offer
Better lean in. Scarlett Johansson is about to reveal the secret of her much-touted sensual power. In her husky alto voice, the 23-year-old says Its kind of like this, before proceeding to demonstrate the perfect come-hither gaze. She purses her famously pouty lips, drops her chin, and lifts her eyes coyly. But she can only hold the look for about five seconds before dissolving into a fit of laughter.
Sexiness, it turns out, is not something Scarlett takes all that seriously. Acting? You bet. Relationships? Absolutely. Politics? Dont get her started. But, she says, I dont normally think about being sexy. I think, Do I look presentable? Do I look sane? As if to make the point, shes shown up to her Cosmo Cosmo! interview wearing glasses, an oversize button-down, and flats, her hair swept up into a demure ponytail.
But the truth is, even dressed like a schoolteacher, Scarlett has an innate and magnetic sensuality. That quality is on display in this months Woody Allen comedy,
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
, in which she plays a sexually adventurous American tourist (critics have buzzed about the film, often mentioning her onscreen lip-lock with Penélope Cruz).
In May, she released her first album,
Anywhere I Lay My Head,
a compilation of Tom Waits cover tunes that showcases her sultry voice. Next up, Scarlett takes on the role of a woman confused about love in a romantic comedy based on the bestselling book
Hes Just Not That Into You,
hitting theaters this October.
Acting since she was 8, Scarlett says she was born to perform. Inever struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me. I always had that huge
aspect to me, she says, belting out the
part as if it were a Broadway note and simultaneously waving jazz hands. I was one of those kids.
Its clear Scarlett feels at home onscreen, even alongside such Hollywood veterans as Robert Redford in
The Horse Whisperer
and Bill Murray in
Lost in Translation
. But her confidence doesnt make her unflappable. While filming
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
in Spain, hordes of fans and paparazzi crowded Scarlett and her costars, Cruz and Javier Bardem, during outdoor scenes. It was overwhelming at times, Scarlett recalls. Everyday, I'd be like, All right, prepare for battle.
Her upcoming flick,
Hes Just Not That Into You
, also deals with a battlefield of sortsthe love battlefield. Scarlett says she was attracted to the script because she liked that the female characters werent victimized and werent dainty and cute. Its about the lies you tell yourself to get through the pain of recognizing this person is unavailable. Which begs the question: Has a guy ever been just not that into Scarlett? Yeah, she says. And what can you do at the time? Its either they dont want to commit or put in the effort or theyre too involved in their own thing.
Scarlett confesses that she has been the emotionally unavailable one at times too. You dont always meet the right person at the right time. Its important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone elseto gauge where you are and work on your own issues.
Recently, Scarlett got the relationship timing just rightshe and actor Ryan Reynolds, 31, announced their engagement in early May. And now that shes ready to walk down the aisle, Scarlett is quick to clarify a comment she once made about people not being monogamous by nature. I dont think its a natural instinct for human beings, but it doesnt mean I dont believe in monogamy or true love, she says. I believe in finding a soulmate. Ive always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. Itd be too awful. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I dont think it applies to everybody, and I dont think a lot of people can do it.
When asked about Ryan, Scarlett prickles a bit, saying, I always hate these questions because they make me feel queasy, and I hate feeling like I have to share my personal life with anybody. So, Ill take the normal celebrity route and just say Im going to keep my personal life private. But Im very, very happy.
Obviously, a wedding is in Scarletts future, but in the meantime, her life goals are to be a good person, to follow my passion, and to expand my mind. And no doubt shell use every weapon in her arsenalconfidence, laser-beam focus, and an unparalleled ability to seduce.

News Marlboro College Seniors Present Art Exhibits, May 11
MARLBORO, VT -- (April 30, 2008) -- Marlboro College seniors Hannah Kozik
and Greg Meyers will present their art exhibits, which will be on
display from Sunday, May 11 through Friday, May 16 in Marlboro's Drury
Kozik's show, one element of her Plan of Concentration, is a series of thirty black and white, silver gelatin photographs, focusing on details, such as old carrot peelings, wheelbarrows, and windows.
''They are very quiet photographs,'' says Kozik. ''I try to find meaning in otherwise insignificant, small moments.''
Meyers' exhibit consists of two major veins, that of functional pottery and of sculptural ceramics. The independent portion of his Plan of Concentration will also be on display in the gallery, several hundred smaller pots and sculptural pieces which will hang on the gallery wall to make a large mosaic.
''I am mainly influenced and inspired by the clay itself,'' says Meyers. ''I dismiss function as the guiding force, and concentrate on visual aesthetics, while letting the clay process primarily drive the work.''
The Drury Gallery is open Sunday through Friday, 1:00- 5:00PM. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact the Marlboro College Public Relations department at 802-251-7644 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Celebrating 60 years, Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and, since 1997, graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont.

Teen Mom 2 Cast: Returning For New Season!by Free Britney at .
The full cast of MTV's Teen Mom 2 - Jenelle Evans, Leah Messer, Chelsea Houska and Kailyn Lowry - will be running it back for a second season starting December 6!
The second quartet to be featured MTV's 16 and Pregnant spinoff will mark the fourth Teen Mom season overall. The original cast starred on Seasons 1 and 3.
So what are the non-fab four up to these days? Let's catch up:
Chelsea Houska still hasn't graduated from high school, and her BFF and roommate, Megan Nelson, gave birth to her own baby, son Hunter, at age 19. Yay?
Kailyn Lowry has been going to school full-time (college, even ... take notes, Chelsea) while juggling two jobs and, of course, motherhood. Props, Kailyn. Major props.
Leah Messer divorced husband Corey Simms, the father of her twin girls, after just six months of marriage and their spectacular camouflage-themed wedding.
Jenelle Evans ... yeesh. This requires a separate article.
She broke up with Kieffer Delp, which was good, but the troubled teen mom has endured an array of legal problems (drugs, probation violations, beating some chick to a pulp) and her mother, Barbara, still has custody of son Jayce.
Basically, she's the Lindsay Lohan of Teen Mom.

I love the show !! Leah is my fav. She had a real good man. He was real good to her and the girls I mean yeah they had there problems but who doesn't . But that still didn't give her a right to cheat on Corey . Leah seems like a good girl she was just to young to marry anyone at the time . Leah and Corey still my fav thou. Jenelle is my least fav. She is no mother. All she cares about is boys and getting high. Chelsea needs to just let Adam go he is no good for her. Kailyn and joe need to get back together they still want to be with each other u can tell how they look at each other .
I was a teen mom at the age of 16 and even though I was proud to say I was pregnant, I took account of my actions. People use to tell me that I wasn't going to amount to anything and I finished high school ranking 3rd in my graduating class and although I had another baby 4.5yrs later I finished college. I have my Bachelors degree at the age of 21 and now working.I've done everything on my own as a single parent with the help of my family. These girls don't understand the hardship and to me seem to glorify being a young parent. Ps Janelle is the worst of them all!!
I am a recovering opiate addict after watching this show from the beginning I think Jenelle is addicted to pain pills. Dr Drew needs to have her on his rehab show. She shows all the signs. If anyone paid attention to the season premiere when they taped at Jenelles friends house the guy couldnt hold his eyes open he obviously had the nods and Jenelle as well looked blown away. Thewy were itching and digging had all the signs and with her behavior I think She needs help before things get worse!

World Series Game 5: Allen Craig to start for Cardinals, Shane Victorino available off bench for Red Sox
Allen Craig will start at first base and bat sixth for the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox despite being hampered by a foot injury, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino was thought to miss his second straight game because of lower-back tightness, but is now available to play. Jonny Gomes will play left field tonight, and Daniel Nava will move to Victorino's place in right field.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
With one of the country's strongest housing markets and both per-capita income and population increasing faster than national averages, Oklahoma City lands at lucky number 13 on Marcus & Millichap's "Top 15 Retail Markets" list.
(January 20, 2010)
Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services / Retail Traffic Magazine | Archived Article
OKLAHOMA CITY -- When MAPS-3 finally shows up on voting ballots -- before the end of the year, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said -- the temporary sales tax issue will likely represent a wide range of projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The question of exactly what projects city residents will be asked to support is yet to be decided, but it appears at least two Core to Shore elements will be included, he said. And because of their place in the city, they may even seem to be the heart of the initiative.
A massive redevelopment just south of downtown Oklahoma City is already under way as a two-mile stretch of the Interstate 40 crosstown is being constructed closer to the Oklahoma River. Once traffic is diverted to the new I-40, the old Interstate bridge will be razed and that thoroughfare converted to a main boulevard. City leaders describe all the projects planned to revitalize the zone as Core to Shore.
"We know Interstate 40 is going to be relocated," Cornett said. "It's more evident every day. . . . And you can see that 2012, when they expect to finish, is going to be here before you know it."
"We know we're going to be able to fund the boulevard using largely state money and then add some improvements of our own to make that the most special street this state has ever seen," he said. "It will be the premier address in Oklahoma."
"When you look at Oklahoma City with fresh eyes . . . and look around the country at other cities, what does Oklahoma City still lack to ascend to a new level?" said Cornett. "I think there are two elements: There's public transit, that we do not fund and do not serve our citizens adequately. And then there's a large gathering space downtown. We really need a Central Park that we can be proud of."
The money needed to fund such a park, a new convention center nearby, and a fixed railway transportation system brings C2S to the intersection with MAPS-3.
The original MAPS, or Metropolitan Area Projects, was strongly approved by public vote in 1993 when residents established a 1-cent, five-year sales tax to fund nine projects, including the construction of the Bricktown Ballpark, renovation of the Cox Business Services Convention Center, and development of the Oklahoma River. A second package identified as Metropolitan Area Public Schools, or MAPS for Kids, kept that penny in play when voters easily passed two initiatives to fund local school districts. Seventy percent of revenue generated from that sales tax went to Oklahoma City Public Schools for the construction of new buildings, technology and other improvements.
Together, the two MAPS initiatives directly yielded more than $800 million in taxes. So the MAPS identification has been considered by many city leaders as an invaluable brand name.

Emirates Challenges A380
Boeing 787 Pilot Report
Airbus on May 17 will hand over the first A350-900, MSN001, to it's flight-test department, industry sources tell Aviation Week.
Once transferred to the flight-test department, the aircraft will undergo the last phases of ground testing, including high-speed taxi tests. Airbus will not comment on the exact timing of these tests.
Sources familiar with the program say that it will take about 20 days to prepare the aircraft for first flight, although Airbus only will say that the aircraft will make its first flight "this summer."
The manufacturer has indicated that it is unlikely the A350 will fly before the Paris Air Show in June, but the 20-day period ends about one week before the opening of the event at Le Bourget.
First-flight dates can be affected by weather problems or last-minute technical issues.
Airbus today rolled out MSN001 from the paint hangar. The aircraft was painted in less than a week and it's flight-test instrumentation is largely installed, along with it's Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. MSN001 also has completed a series of ground vibration tests.
Industry sources say the aircraft is sufficiently complete to fly very soon.
Unlike previous aircraft debuts, Airbus did not hold a roll-out ceremony, but it did present the aircraft to a group of employees.
Airbus lists 414 firm orders for the A350-900, 92 for the A350-800 and 110 for the A350-1000. Given a recent surge in demand, Chief Operating Officer-Customers John Leahy has indicated that he would like to see production rates for the aircraft increase sooner rather than later.
