Spiritual pursuits and alternative therapies in Nepal
Nepal has a multitude of traditional and progressive disciplines, and though the country can seem something of a spiritual supermarket, its tolerant atmosphere makes it a great place to challenge your assumptions and study other systems of thought.
Continue reading to find out more about...
The past 25 years have seen an explosion of outfits teaching yoga and meditation to both foreigners and locals. The allied health fields of ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine are also an attraction for many travellers to Nepal. Many programmes don't require a lengthy commitment, although any residential courses are worth booking well in advance.
Yoga is more than just exercises – it's a system of spiritual, mental and physical self-discipline, designed to unify the individual's consciousness with the universe. Techniques include Karma yoga (basically altruism), Bhakti yoga (devotion, recognizable by the chanting) and Jnana yoga (deep meditation, best practised only after mastering one of the other kinds).
What most westerners would recognize as yoga springs from Raja yoga, probably formulated around 600 BC. It has eight astanga, or limbs (not to be confused with the yoga style with the same name), each a step to realization. Three of these have a physical emphasis, and it is from this root that yoga's reputation for pretzel poses and headstands comes. Whatever the name of a particular variation, be it Bikram, Kundalini, or Ashtanga, all types of yoga that use asanas (or positions) as an aid to developing the self are generally referred to as hatha yoga.
Most practices also include Pranayam – breathing exercises. You'll find several kinds in Nepal, including the Sivanand school (a slow style with asanas and lots of spiritual guidance), Iyengar (a very exacting school that uses some props and focuses on alignment) and practices that follow particular gurus from India, usually including elements of Raja, Bhakti and Karma yoga.
Buddhist meditation and study
Meditation is closely related to yoga, and the two often overlap: much of yoga involves meditation, and Buddhist meditation draws on many Hindu yogic practices. However, meditation centres in Nepal generally follow the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
Buddhist meditation is a science of mind. To Buddhists, mind is the cause of confusion and ego, and the aim of meditation is to transcend these. Vipassana ("insight") is the kernel of all forms of Buddhist meditation; related to hatha yoga, it emphasizes the minute observation of physical sensations and mental processes to achieve a clear understanding of mind. Another basic practice common to most schools of Buddhism, shamatha ("calm abiding") attunes and sharpens the mind by means of coming back again and again to a meditative discipline. Several centres in the Kathmandu Valley run rigorous residential courses in this practice.
Tibetan Buddhist centres start students out with vipassana and shamatha as the foundation for a large armoury of meditation practices. An "adept" (novice) will cultivate Buddha-like qualities through visualization techniques – meditating on the deity that manifests a particular quality, while chanting the mantra and performing the mudra (hand gesture) associated with that deity. The Tibetan Buddhist path also involves numerous rituals, such as prayer, offerings, circumambulation and other meritorious acts; committed followers will take vows, too. Kathmandu has several centres offering introductory courses.
A big part of Tibetan Buddhism is the teacher-disciple relationship. More advanced students of the dharma will want to study under one of the lamas at Boudha, some of whom give discourses in English.
Ayurveda (often spelled "ayurved") is the oldest school of medicine still practised. It is a holistic system that assumes the fundamental sameness of self and nature. Unlike the allopathic medicine of the West, which identifies what ails you and then kills it, ayurveda looks at the whole patient: disease is regarded as a symptom of imbalance, so it's the imbalance that's treated, not the disease.
To diagnose an imbalance, the ayurvedic doctor investigates the physical complaint but also family background, daily habits and emotional traits. Treatment is typically with inexpensive herbal remedies designed to alter whichever of the three forces is out of whack. In addition, the doctor may prescribe some yogic cleansing to rid the body of waste substances.
You'll find ayurvedic doctors and clinics throughout the Hindu parts of Nepal, but those who are able to deal with foreigners are confined mainly to Kathmandu.
Tibetan medicine
Medicine is one of the traditional branches of study for Tibetan Buddhist monks. Like ayurveda, from which it derives, Tibetan medicine promotes health by maintaining the correct balance of three humours: beken, phlegm, which when out of balance is responsible for disorders of the upper body; tiba, heat or bile, associated with intestinal diseases; and lung, meaning wind, which may produce nervousness or depression.
Massage and therapies
Nepali massage is a deep treatment that works mainly on the joints. It's not all that relaxing, but it can be just the job after a trek. Nepalis themselves rarely receive massages after the age of about three, but numerous masseurs ply their services to foreigners. Many practitioners also offer shiatsu, Swedish or Thai massage, reflexology and so on. Others, especially in Thamel, are actually (or additionally) offering sexual services; the best advice is that if it looks or feels dodgy, it probably is.

The consensus seems to be: Let somebody else fix the delta
Confidential surveys of water officials, water users and others involved with the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta offer some telling insight on why the delta is stuck in a perpetual quagmire.
When it comes to fixing the hub of California's water system, most parties would prefer it if someone else made the sacrifices.
The surveys, conducted last year by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California and discussed in a new institute report, found that there was general agreement with scientists about the nature of the problems that have pushed several of the delta's native fish species to the brink of extinction: altered and diminished water flows, water pollution, loss of fish and wildlife habitat, invasive species and fishery management.
But interest groups differed on the importance of those stressors, depending on what it would take to fix them — and who would do the fixing.
Water "exporters avoided measures that would reduce their diversions (either directly or through changes in upstream management), while prioritizing 'nonflow' stressors — such as discharges, delta habitat and harvest management — for which costs would likely be borne by other stakeholder groups or taxpayers," the authors wrote.
"Likewise, fishery interests did not support harvest management — a direct hit on their livelihood — but strongly endorsed reducing diversions and improving upstream management to benefit fish populations," the report continued. "Upstream interests did not support upstream management measures, which could cost them land and water, and they supported reducing diversions only if those came at the expense of exporters, not themselves."
And "delta interests were more enthusiastic about reducing other water users' diversions and less enthusiastic about measures to develop more delta habitat, which might harm the local economy, even if landowners are compensated for converted lands."
The report, "Stress Relief: Prescriptions for a Healthier Delta Ecosystem," also cites a separate opinion poll by the policy institute that found a similar mentality among members of the public. Though 61% of Californians polled said they supported more state spending to improve conditions for native fish, that figure dropped to 39% if the spending pushed up their water rates.
Not surprisingly, the authors call for more coordination and consistency in tackling the delta's myriad problems. They propose establishment of a new state office to coordinate and expedite permitting for projects affecting the delta. Permitting decisions would remain with individual agencies, but the office would coordinate information sharing and try to avoid duplication.
The report also advocates creation of a joint powers authority to oversee scientific research and monitoring in the delta. The authority "would not terminate participating agencies' own scientific studies or their legal obligation to base policy decisions on sound science," the authors wrote. "Rather, it would tackle the larger, most complex and controversial issues."

Pre-Professional Transfer Opportunities
Engineering involves the application of scientific and mathematical principles used in design and in the solution of practical technical problems. CRC's program provides the foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering necessary to transfer to a university and complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. However, because the lower division requirements of universities vary, the student should check the transfer university's catalog to be sure he/she meets its specific requirements. See a CRC counselor for assistance.
Most Career Opportunities require a B.S. degree.
Note to Transfer Students:
If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree in this major, it is critical that you meet with a CRC counselor to select and plan the courses for your major. Schools vary widely in terms of the required preparation. The courses that CRC requires for an associate's degree in this major may be different from the requirements needed for the bachelor's degree.
For information about the student learning outcomes for this program, see resources.crc.losrios.edu/pslo

The endless pitch…
It's always about to happen.
Donors of a New Eternity?
What happened to the old eternity?
Did you know?
This "expedition" was a total catastrophic bust. But that doesn't match the scientology version in which everything Hubbard ever did was amazing…
Missed a few…
Poor. Overworked. Tired. Ethics trouble. Not clear.
Exclusive (?) Briefing
Why? The "latest news" is deja vu all over again. It's "coming"….
Poor suckers
Every "ideal org" that struggled to raise their last dollars, and now are struggling to get anyone in the door are hit up again for some OTHER org. Scientology does not believe the old adage about flogging dead horses.
A U.N. Iniciative?
Is that like an initiative?
Why isn't he in Perth?
"Expand all of your Dynamics"
Code for "give us your money because it's the greatest good for all your dynamics because an Ideal Org will benefit all of them."
Truth Revealed
After more than a decade they now have a FINAL BUDGET! Big news. They have been waiting for this for SO long…
Now they know how many millions short they are. Woohoo….
Nothing like emptiness
I guess they NEVER have anyone in this org? But wait for it, it is "about to be" flooded with people once the SuMP gets rolling….
One of?
Oh no, these guys did not get the memo. Every event is always THE biggest.
The Chan Man Cometh
I guess that FINAL BUDGET is a big one, they are bringing in the heavies… ChanMan and D'Agostini.
Capital Confusion
This guy is becoming a regular with his inability to spell and now capitalize…
This is just strange
It is not "funny" but I thought it worth including somewhere.
This is written in the present tense about his accomplishments until you get to the end and find out he died… Well, he "shed his body" sort of like L. Ron Hubbard, who did it "causatively" and "knowingly" because it was a hindrance to his continued research.
Playing off "The Aftermath"?
Strange choice of title — even capitalized.
Thursday Funnies inside the Thursday Funnies?
Seems to be a lot of imitation happening…
Confidential Briefing
More scientology code words. How confidential can it be when you are supposed to dress up as a Super Hero to win a prize.
Anyone doubt this is an ideal org fundraiser?
Ooohhh THE Stacy Francis?
Houston mission? Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Better than a retirement home?
Probably not.
The BIG News…
Two years later and they are "about to" get things going. It's the next turning point — they have had so many they have turned so often they are dizzy and disoriented.
They do it with their own people, not just the Super Bowl ad…
It's the Hubbard "mystery sandwich tech."
When you follow it with "We thought so" it's one of the most condescending sentences ever to appear in an ad.
Yeah right…
Is Julian Schwarz conducting this? He's an expert on the subject.
A free prize!
And all you have to do is write a short essay.
Those extension courses are how scientology claims "every 46.1 seconds someone start a course in scientology". And they have to practically BEG people to sign up for them. And give them away.
See, there ARE free "courses" in scientology.

SUNY Canton Faculty Member Presents "E-Fraction" Art Exhibition at SUNY Potsdam
Two artists with ties to SUNY Canton will be using lights and snow as their paint and canvas at SUNY Potsdam.
Assistant Professor Matthew J. Burnett, who teaches in the graphic and multimedia design (GMMD) program, and Scott Fuller, a GMMD advisory board member and an associate professor at St. Joseph's College of Maine, are presenting a new outdoor display as part of their collaborative "E-Fraction" exhibition.
The two artists are currently displaying their paintings, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media installations at SUNY Potsdam's Gibson Gallery and will begin molding sculptural forms in snow on Monday, Jan. 30. SUNY Potsdam will host an artists' reception to highlight the indoor and outdoor portions of the show at 5 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Gibson Gallery. Their outdoor work will be illuminated nightly through Feb. 7 in the SUNY Potsdam Academic Quad. Both displays are free and open to the public.
"We have plenty of winter, plenty of snow and plenty of ice in our region," Burnett said. "I love the idea of celebrating what is unusual and beautiful about winter rather than complaining about it. There is so much complexity and power in the way ice and snow form and dominate our environment."
Last year, Burnett and Fuller used large snow sculptures as a canvas for moving projected images of their work at a large-scale St. Lawrence University installation. Their efforts were highlighted in the March 13, 2011 Boston Globe article, "Rethinking Snow."
The pair first collaborated in 2006 to create a kinetic sculpture exhibition in Mt. Desert Island, Maine, and then again in 2008 at Saranac Lake's winter carnival to create a large-scale interactive illuminated spiral ice structure. In addition to the St. Lawrence University exhibition, they presented their light and snow creations last year in Long Lake using old black-and-white photographs projected on their snow creations. Both artists have shown their work regionally and internationally.
Fuller said the exhibitions take a massive amount of coordination, cooperation, and direction from both artists. He and Burnett will be relying on students and faculty members from SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam to help create the massive outdoor snow sculptures.
"Although we've worked collaboratively on large environmental exhibitions, we've only had one traditional indoor show together," said Fuller. "We have lots of drawings, paintings and photographs that have been developed around these installations. Our gallery exhibition showcases over five years of working together."
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Manager, or call 315/386-7527.

It's ten days past Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and only one month until Christmas. Who would have ever thought so much would be blooming outside around here?
An earlier commenter to this blog advised me to "squeeze as much out of fall as I could" and I'm doing just that. Each warmer-than-normal day sends me to the garden to see just what's hanging in there.
The fall season has been exceptional, as far as leaf color is concerned, and we're still marveling at the palette still being displayed in the gardens, even after all the leaves have fallen from the trees.
One of the most colorful has been the hardy geraniums.
The self-sown Calendulas continue to provide sunshine in the garden when we can't see it in the sky.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I'd neglected to take a photo of my Primula capitata 'Salvana' for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. Here it is! (Still blooming.)
None of the full-sized roses are blooming anymore, but several of the minis are still going, such as this red one.
Two years ago, I planted seeds for Petunia x hybrida 'Alladin Nautical Mix.' It has self-seeded ever since and keeps blooming late into the season, even in chilly weather! This is one of the lighter shades in the mix.
Various foliage continues to evolve into beautiful works of art, such as this Hydrangea macrophylla 'Variegata':
One of the joys of autumn is the seedheads formed by so many plants. This Clematis terniflora (Sweet Autumn Clematis) is a 'star' in my book!
The Scabiosa ochroleuca continues to bloom profusely and the seedheads produced are another of my favorites.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I'm giving thanks for the lovely warm weather we've been enjoying this month. We've only had one killing frost so far, and just a handful of light frosts. But if the weather forecasters are correct, this autumn utopia is about to leave us. We're to have snow and rain mixed tomorrow. Even so, it's sure to be warm and cozy inside as we celebrate the holiday with family.
We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you will find much to be thankful for this year, as we have.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure that it can be changed.
Student or Learner
Hi Moderators
The feedback request comes before a member can post any question.
It should come after the question has been posted or, better still, after a reply has been made.
For your consideration, please.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure that it can be changed.
The feedback request states the following:
Your opinion is important.
After your visit, would you be willing to answer 4 quick questions?
It's easy to participate:
Click the "Yes" button below to continue your visit as intended*. When done, retrieve the window remaining on your desktop and complete the brief questionnaire.
I'm not a teacher, so please consider any advice I give in that context.
Hi Red5
Unless the problem has been rectified, if I click the 'Yes' button, I'll be asked to answer four questions even before I could proceed with the posting.
I cannot understand how to respond to the questions even after I have just posted my question as the reply will take some time to come.
It would be best that I respond when I have received a reply to my query.
Many thanks.
It's a quick survey of what you came here to do, and whether you were able to do it. As it states, you should wait to answer the questions until you've finished your visit.
Of course it will not help if you don't get replies in time.
I'm not a teacher, so please consider any advice I give in that context.
Hi Red5
I've just tried. After clicking YES, it directs me to the questionnaire. I've no chance to post the question.
It doesn't say that I should wait to answer the questions until I've finished my visit.
Best regards.
Ok. Sorry you're having problems with it. If you answer NO, you should not be asked again and that should solve the problem.
I'm not a teacher, so please consider any advice I give in that context.
Hi Red5
If I answer NO, I'll solve my problem, and that it is what I've been doing. However, I do feel guilty that I'm not helping in providing feedback.
I suggest that the questionnaire appears when the questioner has received a reply. He/She can then comment on whether he/she is happy with the reply given. The feedback will then be helpful to the moderators and the editor.
Just a suggestion. I hope you agree wtih me.
Best regards.

More Audi R5 News from Georg Kacher Piece about Porsche 551
by, 05-10-2012 at 09:36 AM (96268 Views)
Earlier this week we'd posted a story linking a Volkswagen Group chassis architecture guide published last week by Georg Kacher over at Automobile. Kacher's submitted another piece this week about the Porsche 551 - the so-called "Baby Boxster" that was slated to be a corporate cousin of the proposed Audi R5.
Kacher's got new details on 551, including confirmation of scaled down MSB-M (MSB Mid) architecture and a timeframe pushed out from 2014 to 2017 based on Porsche's own full plate of projects that would sell more cars and earn more money for Stuttgart.
The article confirms what we already knew, that Volkswagen and Audi have both cooled on the idea of building their own versions of such a car, although Kacher seems to think that Audi's problem is more that the car would be developed by Porsche.
The article didn't officially say R5 was done for, but it did say Porsche was willing to go it alone on 551, even without VW or Audi. Apparently by basing the car on MSB Porsche can still achieve enough economies of scale with components shared from other MSB-based products (Porsches, Lamborghinis, etc.) that the model will likely still work.
So what do you think? Is Audi better off with no R5 than with a Porsche-developed R5?

A home equity loan is a loan that is secured by your home. If you repay the loan as agreed, your lender will discharge the mortgage. If you do not repay the loan as agreed, your lender can foreclose on your home to satisfy the debt. Generally, the amount that you can borrow is limited to 80 percent of the equity in your home, although in some situations this amount may be higher. The actual amount of the loan will also depend on your income, credit history, and the market value of your home. The two distinct types of home equity loans are the home equity line of credit (HELOC) and the closed-end home equity loan, often referred to as a second mortgage.
A HELOC, which is the more popular loan, is structured as a revolving line of credit. You can borrow as much as you need, whenever you need it, by writing a check as long as your total borrowing does not exceed your credit limit. Because it is a line of credit, you make payments only on the amount you have actually borrowed, not the full amount available. Borrowers will usually set up a HELOC so that it is available for unexpected expenses. It may also be beneficial to use your home equity loan to purchase a car or pay your child's college tuition since the interest is generally tax-deductible.
A closed-end home equity loan, or second mortgage, is a loan for a fixed amount of money that must be repaid over a fixed term, just like your original mortgage. Borrowers typically use closed-end home equity loans to pay for a single large expense, such as a major home improvement or college tuition.

VANCOUVER - Joannie Rochette skated to the music from Samson and Delilah, a Herculean tale of triumph and tragedy, but the story was all hers, its most poignant final line mercifully carved into a piece of bronze.
It is but one of 17 Canadian medals and to suggest it dwarfs so many cast in silver and gold at these Games would seem to miss the incredible sporting spirit and human will Rochette showed to win it against the worst of odds. Because she wasn't thinking of herself when she won it, we all know that.
That medal is for her mother Therese, who arrived from Montreal Saturday and died Sunday in a Vancouver hospital, before she could see her daughter as a 2010 Olympian.
"I feel proud. The result didn't matter but I'm happy to be on the podium," said Rochette. "That was my goal coming here. It's been a lifetime project with my mom and we achieved that."
The woman who wore that medal Thursday night with and what it will tell the world about her for the rest of her life makes it seem more valuable than others won here, if not to Rochette, then the country. The silver medal she claimed at the world championships in 2009 - the kind that always comes complete with palpable pressure especially before a home Olympics - sits in a place of prominence in her home. This one occupies a special place in the hearts of all Canadians who have been thinking about her since Sunday.
She won it almost clinically, her face devoid of the emotion that was so easily read in Tuesday's short program. She wobbled early, dropped a double Axel late and was in competition mode throughout for a free skate score of 131.28 and a two-skate total of 202.64.
The crowd scattered plush toys on the ice and most stood to applaud her one more time. They were there all along. Her support group tightened up to include father Normand, boyfriend Guillaume Gfeller, coach Manon Perron and psychologist Wayne Halliwell, so Canadians gave her whatever comfort they could from afar. But let's face it, we all took something from Rochette's impossible strength and desire to compete too. There was inspiration, certainly. National pride. Borrowed courage in some cases. And when it came time for her to compete, there was relief and joy at the sight of her standing upright and in third place after an excruciating and emotional short program on Tuesday.
And the first thing she said was a thank you to Canadians for emails and text messages that helped get her through the toughest days? Wow. That's quite a kid her parents Therese and Normand raised in Ile Dupas, Que.
The 24-year-old took other Olympians and millions of Canadians on a journey so personal and filled with sorrow that even to watch it from a respectable distance in the rink or on TV occasionally seemed too intrusive. Well, after four minutes that stopped the Olympics on Thursday, we can all breathe again. Rochette included.
Sure, Korea's Yu-Na Kim has the gold medal, the first in ladies skating for her country, and that is worth celebrating. Her blend of poise and power, grace and guts might just rule the ladies division for another four years. Unless Japan's Mao Asada has more to say about it in the coming seasons than she did on Thursday, her jumping might muted by a strange mistake that jabbed her toe pick in the ice and threw off her timing so badly she popped a triple toe. She threw two triple Axels at Kim and the judges but there is something missing from her delivery and that left a 23-point chasm between her and Kim.
And behind them, three points back of Asada, was Rochette.
After skating "like a computer" through the short program - that was teammate Cynthia Phaneuf's assessment of Rochette's self-defence mechanism - the Rocket locked her emotions away for another four minutes and leapt through her long program. Only Rochette and three other competitors in the field of 24 laced their programs with seven triples, a number that was a source of pride for her all year because it proved how versatile a skater she had become. Sure, some girls do the triple-triple that Rochette eschews, but some only have five triples in the quiver.
In between the tricks she massaged the Code of Points scoring system for a fine haul of component scores rewarding skating skills, choreography, interpretation, footwork and transitions, performance and execution.
Thirty ladies skated the long, only 24 passed through to the final with one more chance to shape their Olympic experience the way it looked in the dream. They all have it. It's set to soundtracks in Finnish, Russian, English, Japanese and Korean, and its base value is the same all over, medal-worthy. Sadly, the grade of execution varies from dreams in the athletes village to reality on the Pacific Coliseum ice.
"That was the worst I've ever skated," said Tugba Karademir of Turkey, who missed her first three jumps. "Although coming to the Olympics is awesome, I had my sights set very high this time so I am very disappointed."
File Canada's Cynthia Phaneuf in the same category after she fell on a triple Lutz, doubled a planned triple Salchow, stumbled out of a double Axel and dropped a double off the end of a triple-double-double combination late in her Cleopatra program. The score was still her best on the international circuit this year, 99.46, but she started 14th and wound up 11th.
"I did amazing practices for two weeks, very consistent, and you know I just kind of fell apart for the long. Even if it's not that bad of a performance, I know it's not my best."
In skating, the best are often left for last. Rochette skated 23rd. Only Mirai Nagasu of the U.S. could take the medal away and she fell short. Rochette became the fifth Olympic medal winner for Canada in the ladies division. The four who came before her are Liz Manley (silver in 1988), Karen Magnussen (silver in 1972), Petra Burka (bronze in 1964) and Barbara Ann Scott (gold in 1948.

Having recently re-joined the world of traffic lights and bustle from my four years spent on Orkney studying archaeology at the University of the Highlands and Islands, I find myself working from an office on the outskirts of Aberdeen where I work in the Archaeology Service at Aberdeenshire Council as Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) assistant.
Studying archaeology allowed for a time of fairly self-indulgent research where there was usually enough wiggle room that I could find a way to write about things I wanted to look at. Coming out of that into the world of working in archaeology has been exciting, as I have been forced to move beyond my comfort zone of Neolithic Orkney and into the full spread of archaeology in the North East of Scotland. While I work at Aberdeenshire Council, the Service covers Angus, Moray and Aberdeen City, as well as Aberdeenshire, so we have a large and varied area to cover. Once I had got over the idea of recumbent stone circles (I mean, really?!), discovering the archaeology of a new area has been hugely exciting and rewarding.
So what is it I actually do? Well the Archaeology Service has a wide ranging role, from answering enquiries from members of the public and getting involved in local community digs, to working with developers to ensure that any archaeological remains are dealt with appropriately. Whatever we are doing, the focus is always on providing the best protection, management and promotion of the historic environment for the benefit of all. An important part of this is knowing what archaeology there is in the area we cover, and where it is, and this is where I come in. What I do most days is ensure our publicly available SMR is as up to date and accurate as it can be.
Today, I am working my way through the records for listed buildings in Moray. I check what is entered on the digital SMR against the Historic Environment Scotland listed building description, and make sure any discrepancies are checked and any additional information is added. I also aim to make the descriptions of the monuments as user-friendly as possible. Finding the balance between technical descriptions of specific aspects of monuments, and language people might actually understand, is always tricky, but I hope it helps enable those without a background in archaeology to get an overview of what there is out there, as well as being of use to those with a more specialist background. I also make sure that the monument is marked in the right place on the map, and that the mapped area covers the whole monument. Looking at old maps is something I have always found great joy in doing, and checking these to see the evolution and origins of a site is always a highlight.
I have found working within archaeology from an office side of things to be very fulfilling. While sitting in a cold muddy hole for several hours a day will always be my first true archaeological love, this job has similar aspects to it that can make it just as exciting. Like anything within archaeology, the unknown and unexpected is always just around the corner, and there is always something new that we will suddenly have to respond to. The various specialisms within the team mean there is always something to learn and discuss throughout the day, discussions can go from a Mesolithic flint scatter to an 18th century farmhouse in a flash. The job has also highlighted to me the importance policy effecting archaeology, and how imperative it is that, as archaeologists, we are engaged in this and ensure our voice is heard and consulted at every stage of the process.

Europe Democracy around the World D66 European Parliament Strasbourg
Europe needs people power
Thu 11/12/2003
Dit artikel van Lousewies van der Laan is eerder verschenen in de International Herald Tribune
The negotiations on a new European Union constitutional treaty are drawing to a close. European governments are busy fighting for more voting power, vetoes and a place for God in the text. But those politicians now need to take a step back and focus on the issue that their citizens care about: injecting more democracy and transparency into Europe's decision making.
These days, the European Union legislates in areas as diverse as environment, social policy, justice and consumer affairs. It is the EU that decides on energy liberalisation, peacekeeping in Macedonia and standards for asylum seekers. Yet at the same time, turnout for European elections is low and surveys indicate that support for European integration is falling. It should disturb politicians that most citizens feel that 'Brussels' is an uncontrolled black box that issues edicts over which they have little control.
No democracy can function when people are estranged from the entities that exercise power over them. All European countries are democracies, and perceived as such. The EU 's decisions likewise need legitimacy. The legitimacy problem can only be resolved by ensuring the European Parliament becomes stronger and exercises full democratic control over EU decision-making.
This is not a popular point to argue since the European Parliament is neither greatly loved nor respected as an institution. The Parliament 's image is that of a travelling circus, where debates are poorly attended and dull. Parliamentarians themselves are partly to blame for their poor image. It is high time they set their house in order. A deal on clear rules for expenses has been long overdue. They also need to learn to set priorities, liven up their debates and learn how to communicate more effectively.
However, at the same time, unnoticed by most EU citizens, the European Parliament has established a track record of responsible behaviour in examining, amending and sometimes rejecting European legislation. Parliament plays a crucial role in monitoring the EU budget and in scrutinising the actions of the European Commission. MEPs now work in tandem with the Council of Ministers to make laws on issues as diverse as accountancy standards, waste disposal and the limits of stem-cell research. The Parliament can veto legislation – as happened in the case of the takeover directive in 2001 – if MEPs and the Council cannot reach agreement on the provisions of a new law. And the Parliament has shown it can use its powers of investigation to crack down on fraud and mismanagement in the Commission, as it did when it threatened a vote of no confidence and thus forced the resignation of the Santer Commission in 1999.
Therefore, the Parliament has shown it is up to the task of ensuring democratic scrutiny. It is now up to ministers to play their part. The new constitutional treaty can address Europe's legitimacy problem by including the following points:
• The full EU budget must come under the control of the European Parliament. To prevent overspending, the treaty can include a maximum level for the total EU budget in the form of a percentage of EU GDP. Currently, around half the EU's budget – mostly farm subsidies – is excluded from democratic oversight. This is corrected by the Giscard text, which also maintains Parliament's final say over the budget. Regrettably, foreign ministers have now removed the latter, thus taking budget decisions back to secretive ministerial deals, rather than the current open parliamentary scrutiny. • The European Parliament must have co-decision powers in all policy areas. As EU powers expand, powers of oversight must grow in tandem. This is especially the case for justice and home affairs, where co-operation is expanding to ultra-sensitive issues as asylum policy, border control, immigration, and cross- border crime.• The European Parliament should have the right to hold the new EU foreign minister to account. Having only one person speaking on behalf of the EU can be an important step forward in forging a consistent EU foreign policy, but the results will not enjoy public support if they come from secretive ministerial meetings. The minister needs to explain his policies to the democratically elected representatives of Europe's citizens. • The European Parliament should have the right to sack the Commission president and individual commissioners. Currently, MEPs only have the "nuclear option": sending the whole Commission home if one Commissioner does not perform. More control over individual Commissioners will also strengthen the Commission's position vis-à-vis the Council.• Finally, the European Parliament should have a single seat in Brussels. The current move of more than 3000 people to Strasbourg for four days every month wastes time and resources (€ 169 million per year) that could be spent on improving citizens' lives.
As Europe enlarges to 25 members it is unacceptable that the EU continues to take decisions affecting people's lives without proper democratic scrutiny. The current treaty review may be the last chance for many years to inject much-needed democracy into Europe's decision making. If European integration is to be a project for and of all Europeans, not just its political elite, strengthening the European Parliament must be a key priority for Europe's leaders as they finish their negotiations.

What is the official position of the Jehovah's Witnesses in regards to hell, specifically the doctrine of annihilation which says that people will not go on existing, that eventually God will just extinguish some/all souls rather than leaving them in a state of eternal punishment.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that there is a soul that survives the death of the body. We believe that, at death, a person ceases to exist, since the body simply returns to the "dust". (Genesis 3:17-19) This makes sense if you think about people who have brain damage (a damaged body): their consciousness is affected by this. Our consciousness is not an independent system from our body that mysteriously survives the death of the body. God created the first man and woman to have a physical body formed from the "dust". (Genesis 2:7) This is different from the angels he created which are spirits. (Ezekiel 3:12) God is also a spirit. (John 4:24)
Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in hellfire as it would not represent divine justice from a loving God. (1 John 4:8) He wants us to serve him out of love, not fear of torture. (2 Corinthians 9:7) Some who die will receive a resurrection, but some will not. If God sees that someone has already shown that there is no chance they will conform to his righteous standards, he will simply leave them in a state of non-existence. (Matthew 5:30) They have already paid for their sins with death, and he has no desire to torture them. Those whom God chooses to preserve in his memory will at a future time receive a resurrection to life on this earth. (John 5:28, 29) They will be given a new body that will be perfect and not die over time. (Revelation 21:4) In the meantime they are simply "asleep" in death, resting safely in God's memory. (John 11:11-14; Acts 7:60)
The exception is those who are resurrected to spirit life, but this is only a relatively select few who will serve as kings and priests.
Here are some references from official websites of Jehovah's Witnesses. I hope that these links remain pointing to the right content, but I really don't know if it may change or not:
Hellfire — Is It Part of Divine Justice?
That is from a small tract so don't expect tons of detail. It is well written, easy to read, and easy to understand.
If you are interested in learning more, I recommend requesting a free Bible study.
For that they normally use the Bible study aid What Does the Bible Really Teach? You can also view this book online and download it in EPUB or PDF format. It has several chapters and appendix sections related to your question. The first chapter is called "Is This What God Purposed?"
If you want to do some deeper research, here is some heavier stuff from the book Insight on the Scriptures:
So what do they believe happens to your spirit? since we are not just soul and body but spirit too. 1 Th 5:23 – Matt Sep 23 '13 at 1:23
1@Matt Psalm 146:4 "His spirit goes out...On that very day his thoughts perish." This is another way of saying that the life-force of the person has ceased to be active in same sense that a flame 'goes out'. The context says your thoughts perish, but a disembodied soul or spirit as commonly conceived today would still have thoughts. The Hebrew word for spirit is "ru′ach" which has a basic meaning of "breath", and extended meanings beyond this basic sense depending on how it is used. Many other translations use the word "breath" instead of "spirit" in that verse: biblehub.com/psalms/146-4.htm – plv Oct 10 '13 at 16:46
This part makes a lot of sense in my opinion as well: "This makes sense if you think about people who have brain damage (a damaged body): their consciousness is affected by this. Our consciousness is not an independent system from our body that mysteriously survives the death of the body." – coderworks Jun 24 '17 at 20:59
Short answer: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in Hell.
Longer answer: Technically, Jehovah's Witnesses do believe in Hell, but (a) their beliefs about Hell are quite unusual, and (b) they generally don't use the name "Hell". (So it's simpler to say they don't believe in Hell.)
Even longer answer: The Biblical words usually translated as "Hell" are the Hebrew She'ol and the Greek Hades. Witnesses use these words (more often She'ol, in my experience, but the two can be used interchangeably), but they can occasionally use the English word Hell to describe the same concept. She'ol is not a place, physical or otherwise, but a condition: it is the state of non-existence. And everyone, when they die, simply ceases to exist (see next paragraph for an exception). This applies even to Jesus: when he died, he died. And then was raised after three days. So too the other resurrections in scripture: they were brought back from nothingness.
This applied also to the 144,000 anointed ones. They died. And then they were resurrected to Heaven in 1914. Any anointed who have died since 1914 are resurrected straight to heaven, in a "twinkling of an eye". So that's the exception.
In the new world order, many people from She'ol (Hell) will be resurrected. Those who rebel will, at the end, be thrown into the lake of fire. This indicates complete annihilation: the same sort of non-existence as in She'ol, but without any chance of future resurrection.
Another term sometimes confused with Hell is Tartarus, which I believe is used only once in the Bible. The Witnesses believe that's a completely different thing: it's the condition of the Devil and his demons cast out of Heaven.
1This might be another question, but what happened in 1914 to make it such a pivotal year for JWs? – Affable Geek Oct 1 '12 at 16:13
@AffableGeek. It was the end of the Gentile Times. Long story, the details of which I forget. It would indeed make a good question. – TRiG Oct 1 '12 at 16:37
The 7th Day Adventists are very similar to JW's on this topic. I would point out that the reason they "cease to exist" is because they deny any existence of an immortal soul that departs the body upon death. Adventists do often say hell, though, but sometimes say hellfire, implying that it is an event of sorts that destroys. – fгedsbend Jun 30 '14 at 21:59
1@AffableGeek - JWs had a habit of announcing definitive dates based on what they would consider to be educated calculations. The Watchtower Society has (since something like 1930 or so) moved to uncertain dates since their physically provable prediction rate had basically a 100% failure rate. 1914 is a physically unprovable event, so there's no harm in maintaining the stance that this is indeed the year when Jesus took his place. Nowadays, they just say we are clearly in the last days. – Bubbles Oct 2 '14 at 0:18
Q. "Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in annihilation?"
A. Yes.
We whole heartedly believe in what is stated under divine inspiration of God's holy spirit found at 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 and 2 Peter 3:7... and I quote:
"This takes into account that it is righteous on God's part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation for YOU, 7 but, to YOU who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 at the time he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder in connection with all those who exercised faith, because the witness we gave met with faith among YOU." ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
"But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment AND OF DESTRUCTION OF THE UNGODLY MEN." ~2 Peter 3:7
Consequently, contrary to popular but highly erroneous belief, we who are members of the unified worldwide Christian congregation of Jehovah's most certainly DO in fact firmly believe in Hell / Sheol / Hades / The Grave as it's stated numerous times within God's Word the Bible. However, we DON'T believe that Hell / Sheol / Hades / The Grave is a place of everlasting literal fiery torment that God Almighty sends the wicked to roast forever. In short, we believe that the Bibles teaching on what Hell / Sheol / Hades / The Grave truly is, is VERY different from what the overwhelming vast majority of the Churches of Christendom are and have been teaching people.
For example, by the use of God given reasoning skills and God's Word the Holy Bible, we find that both Adam & Eve were created PERFECT when God made them (Gen 1:31; Deuteronomy 32:4), they were flawless as far as Jehovah God was concerned regarding His standards for humans. When Adam & Eve of their own God given free-will chose to defy God and take of the forbidden fruit, they became IMPERFECT (no longer met up to God's perfect standard in human beings) and through Adam ALL of us humans inherit sin, sickness and death (Romans 3:23, 5:12).
Here's the point... Where in scripture did Jehovah God eternally send Adam to as his punishment for DELEBERATELY sinning against God?
Keep in mind also that what Adam did was not a mistake *because he knew exactly what he was doing*, he wasn't deceived / fooled into eating the forbidden fruit as his wife Eve had been (1 Timothy 2:14).
It is from and through our ancient forefather Adam that sin and death entered the world and is passed on to we who are of the human race and therefore by reason of necessity and JUSTICE, whatever Adam received as his punishment, we who are from Adam receive the exact same punishment passed on to us and our children as the inheritance of Sin:
"And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of E′den to cultivate it and to take care of it. 16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it YOU WILL POSITIVELY DIE."" ~ Genesis 2:15-17
"And to Adam he said: "Because you listened to your wife's voice and took to eating from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you will eat its produce all the days of your life. 18 And thorns and thistles it will grow for you, and you must eat the vegetation of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return."" ~ Genesis 3:17-19
Rather than a fiery place of torture / torment, Adam was sentenced back to the dust from whence he was created from, he returned back to being non-existent. That's what the Bible also shows happens to we who are his sinful descendants.
Thanks to Almighty Jehovah God through Christ there has been made a glorious way out of this otherwise hopeless condition! Again though... That's for another topic. ;-)
NOTE: I am a dedicated and baptized member of the worldwide unified Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

OK i have a confession...
yes i do eat healthy and i try ti limit the "junk food" i do happen to snack on
but one guilty pleasure i will NEVER be able to give up is the Dove Chocolates!
I love them b/c i can just grab a few...it will satisfy my chocolate craving (b/c im gonna be honest...i have one almost everyday!!) and i absolutely LOVE reading the little surprise messages that come on the inside of the wrappers...
DOVE promise messages was one of the greatest ideas i have seen!
it has been my experience that the last few times i have had one the message was made just for me! i was suppose to grab that piece of candy to get the inspirational words of that heavenly piece of chocolate.
No sometimes this stuff can be expensive...BUT i have been using coupons and price matching it to get a great deal on a few bags when i go shopping.
I think that EVERY woman deserves to have a bag of dove chocolate in their cabinet...no matter if you are "watching your figure" or not...a little piece of heaven wont hurt you! And if you cant get these or find them let me know and i will personally send you some!!! LoL i am not joking! I love this stuff and the messages just make my day. they always bring a smile to my face. and did i mention you can get various types of chocolate!?! my fav is def the dark chocolate...so run out...grab some Dove, and stash them away for your random chocolate cravings or for when you need a few words of wisdom when you cant get that inspiration from your friends or family.

Ultimate Adventure 2011 Part 2
Midwest Metal Mash
Five days into Ultimate Adventure and we had already made our way through parts of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. By now we have also figured out this is one of the toughest UA events in recent years due to the extreme wheeling, blazing triple-digit temperatures, and torrid humidity.
All the adventurers were in tune with the performance of their vehicles, most of which had just been built or were heavily modified a few days before the UA. Worn and failing parts and the weakest points on the rigs had been found by now, which usually led to mechanical failures, trail repairs, and late-night dirt lot wrenching. Only a couple drivers had to search in the small towns we passed through for parts or had them shipped in. All the driving teams (except one Jeep the last day) made their repairs, and all caught up with the group at the next destination. But that's what Ultimate Adventure is all about, and there's no whining!
We've found over the years that no matter how much preparation went into a vehicle, something always goes wrong. This can make that lucky guy or gal a little nervous, but the fact is usually only one or two vehicles survive the UA without mechanical failure or breakage. The drivers who manage to escape harm have a champion's swagger until next year's UA. If they can pull it off two years in a row, then they are legends.
There is always a bit of anxiety in participants, even among hardened UA vets—whether they admit it or not. Everyone is concerned about how their rig will perform or how they can stave off precarious mishaps. After all, it's not much fun being stuck in the middle of the trail when there's a killer trail obstacle just up ahead. The uneasiness includes the fact that all eyes and the film and camera crew are trained on the drivers and spotters while they are making their way through the trail. Mess up here, and millions could be watching you on television or on the DVD later.
There's No Turning Back
Up to this point we were all holding up physically and were upbeat, even in the oppressive heat. Everyone was always reminded by our fearless leader, General Péwé, to "hydrate, hydrate, hydrate." There was always an array of junk food to nourish our disheveled bodies. It seems every gas station in this part of the country has some sort of greasy fried food in a glass case that is kept lukewarm with heat lamps. It's not the food we like to survive on, but an occasional and delectable basket of fried chicken gizzards, okra, hush puppies, and a side of thick country gravy never hurt anyone.
A requirement of the Ultimate Adventure is that everyone must be self-sufficient, but we also understand that not everyone is perfect and that a guy just can't carry everything in a small rig. This is where our four-wheeling teamwork shines. Someone is always there to lend a hand, part, drink, or sandwich.
Our traveling band of four-wheelers has really come to appreciate the products the Ultimate Adventure sponsors provided to get us through our journey. We can't count the times the cables were pulled from the Warn winches or the Bubba Ropes were yanked from their storage bags and slung between vehicles. Some of us had run Nitto Mud Grappler tires before, but not during a weeklong event filled with hundreds of highway miles and slick, rocky, and wet terrain. The Mud Grapplers performed exceptionally well due to their extremely aggressive tread design. The wide voids between the tread blocks did exactly what they were designed to do: self-clean and spin off even the thickest sludge we drove through.
So here we are, halfway through Ultimate Adventure. There was no turning back. By now everyone had fallen in line and found their place in the daily routine: travel, wake up early, grab a quick meal, break camp, hit the road. The readers have found new friends, and everyone was always right there if anyone needed assistance. We were getting ready for our first long day of road travel, and everyone was looking forward to the unique and unusual stops and roadside attractions.
Day 5, Wednesday, July 6:
First Full Road Day
We woke up early and quickly broke camp. You know it's going to be hot when the sun isn't even up and your T-shirt is already soaking wet and there's sweat rolling off your face. Today was the first full road day. Our plan was to drive from D-Day Adventure Park just outside of Wyandotte, Oklahoma, to Wheelin' World near Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Our destination wasn't that long a haul, maybe a few hundred miles as the crow flies. But remember, we never take a straight route. Rolling down just any old interstate wouldn't be adventurous, and we want to see the heart of the country in the little towns and rural farm-to-market roads.
After leaving D-Day Adventure Park we headed into town and stopped by the Bunker Store, a huge military surplus outlet. The store was a great place to shop halfway through the UA since some of us blew out the front door on the way to the UA without everything we needed.
We had no clue what we were in for until we pulled up to our next destination, Bluff Dwellers Cavern in Noel, Missouri. Missouri just isn't another great state to four-wheel in; it's also known as the Cave State. We were all amazed at this very cool (literally) and interesting stop, which was a great place to relax after spending half the day on the sizzling blacktop. We aren't sure if we had any spelunkers amongst us, but we were all pumped up and felt like 12-year-old kids waiting in line for Disneyland. As we approached the steel doors to the entrance of the cave, some of the guys let out a groan of relief. The year-round temperature inside is 56 degrees, a welcome relief from driving in rigs with no A/C.
After an interesting and refreshing tour of the cave we hit the highway again. Our destination for the day was Wheelin' World 4x4 Offroad Park just outside Eureka Springs, Arkansas. But we had a number of other stops in between! After filling up our rigs with fuel and tossing more artery-clogging deep-fried gas station food into our gullets we met Dale Backs, owner of Wheelin' World.
Dale went over our route with us to the park, and then took us on a meandering tour of more twisty turning dirt roads and trails. At one point we found ourselves in the heavily forested middle-of-nowhere and inside the long-abandoned Eureka Springs train tunnel. Most of the stops we make except for food and gas are in some way educational and a great experience. After being told the history of the 1800s tunnel and a little exploring we were off counting white lines again.
After a short night run we finally found Wheelin' World late in the night. Most of us drank gallons of water, heated up Hot Pockets on a cast iron skillet, and hit our sweaty, rank, and uncomfortable sleeping bags for the night.
Day 6, Thursday, July 8:
Wheelin' World Trail Action
Thursday was slated for a full day of off-road action. When we awoke in Wheelin' World we were surprised to find an incredibly nice campground and great facilities like extremely clean little blue houses replete with sparkling toilets, and a hose dangling from a tree with fresh water for showers. The park does have full campground hookups, including his and her showers, but we shied away from them so as not to clog the drains with dirt, ticks, chiggers, and any other critters that had attached themselves to our bodies. The accommodations we enjoyed may sound a little primitive, but after a sweaty few days on the trail they were welcome pleasures. Although all of the places we camped were filled with warm and friendly folks, Wheelin' World was one of the nicest and cleanest campgrounds we stayed in.
The trails at the park were steep, rocky, and slippery. The slickest trails and hillclimbs weren't due to mud, but rather loose dirt and small pebbles and rocks that acted like ball bearings. Gaining traction and making it up and over a hill in some situations didn't entirely depend on tire traction, but horsepower, momentum, and speed. Other obstacles paralleled ledges that leaned vehicles off-camber toward drop-offs, giving drivers an uneasy feeling and a butt crack full of seat upholstery. Winch lines were pulled and hooked to anchor points just for safety.
After a great day of four-wheeling we headed back to camp to make repairs, rehydrate, and knock some of the grime off ourselves before dinner. The staff of Wheelin' World and the crew of the Rock Hard Wheelers had prepared us an amazing BBQ chicken feast with all the fixings, a welcome break from the greasy gas station food we had been choking down.
Day 7, Friday, July 9:
Long Road Day & Hard Work
Friday brought our second full road day, and it would be a different from any other day on any the UA. Péwé planned a cool endeavor for us that included quite a bit of hard labor. But first on the agenda was stopping at a liquor store in Missouri for some real beer. Oklahoma only sells 3.2 percent beer, and this one also sold puppies. The state also enforces crazy laws that beer cannot be sold on Sundays or most holidays (like the Fourth of July) or where folks may be unclothed. Now that's just crazy!
We know what you are thinking. The set-in-stone rule of the Ultimate Adventure is that alcohol on the trip can only be consumed in camp and only after the day's driving or wheeling. Nobody guzzles hooch on the trail or on a road day. Inappropriate drinking on the UA is call for immediate dismissal. That said, there's nothing wrong with having a cold beer or two around the campfire.
2011 was an extremely tough year for the Midwest due to a horrific tornado season. A number of communities in and around Tornado Alley were devastated, with some almost completely demolished. In the middle of the day we stopped in Etna, Arkansas, on Highway 23 just before crossing into Oklahoma. When we pulled into what was left of the community, we found it almost as devastated as when the tornado hit a month earlier. A huge swath of mangled trees, buildings, and wreckage was all we could see. We were told the devastating tornado ripped through the Johnson County and Franklin County areas for about 27 miles.
Péwé had set it up so we could help clean up some of the debris still lying around. After all, we had a crew of about 50 people, winches, and all kinds of tools. In a church parking lot we met T.K. Dictson, who would be our contact for the community. The church was one of the few remaining building after the tornado. T.K. directed us to a property where only a few walls of a residential house now stood. Most of us had never witnessed the aftermath of a tornado and were amazed at the devastation that twisters cause. It's one of those reality checks that you really can't comprehend or believe until you see it with your own eyes.
Our philanthropic mission for the day was to clean up the property for the family that had lived here. The couple survived the tornado by lying in the bathtub, the husband on top of the wife and children. We spent two to three hours cleaning up drywall, shattered and splintered lumber, personal property, destroyed trees and shrubs, and trash. Despite the triple-digit heat, we all felt great about helping out. Our time in Etna was certainly one of the highlights of this Ultimate Adventure.
Leaving Etna, we hit the highway headed for our final destination of Atoka, Oklahoma, our base for the last two days and nights. We arrived about 7:30 p.m. and the temperate was 107 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Some of our UA folks nearly hit the ground running into the Comfort Inn & Suites in Atoka. The air-conditioned lobby felt like heaven. We had spent four days and nights on the trail in some of the hottest, muggiest weather the Midwest has seen in decades. Clean sheets, hot meals, and cool showers were first on everyone's agenda.
Day 8, Saturday, July 10:
Buck Creek Ranch
Some of us lay in the hotel beds as long as we possibly could, soaking up the crisp air conditioning. The Comfort Inn & Suites is more luxurious than we really deserved, especially since this is the Ultimate Adventure. However, it gave us weary travelers time to clear our head, regear our energy levels, and rest up for one last day of tough four-wheeling. None of us knew that one trail would take us all day.
After the final drivers meeting promptly at 7:30 a.m. we met Joe Eaves of Toy Soldiers, who was our trail guide for the day. Joe took the lead as we hit the road for Buck Creek Ranch & Off-Road Park. Buck Creek is a 2,000-acre ranch that caters to off-road adventure and deer hunting. It has 12 trails now and plans on adding eight more with the addition of another 500 acres. The trails here are long, and the Redneck Rivera Trail is over 15 miles long.
Since everyone on Ultimate Adventure by now was a seasoned four-wheeler, Joe recommended we run the Say No to Joe Trail, which is one of the park's toughest. We didn't realize that it would take us all day and into the evening, almost causing us to miss the UA victory and celebration dinner.
The Say No to Joe Trail is a creek bed about a half a mile long. It's filled with tight squeezes between trees and large granite rocks, some as large as small cars. Our Ultimate F-150 ran the gauntlet and performed exceptionally until the front axleshaft boot was ripped off and the shaft fell out. But after some fancy repairs by Randy Ellis, Chris Durham, and Fred Williams, the truck was up and running and through the obstacles in under an hour.
The owner of the park and staff carried quite an amazing BBQ lunch to us at the end of the trail. After a quick respite from the action, we quickly ran the last few hundred yards of trail and headed back to Atoka to throw the Ultimate Adventure victory dinner.
Day 9, Sunday, July 11:
Homeward Bound
Ultimate Adventure 2011 was great. The staff, old cronies, invited readers, and film crew visited sites in the Midwest that we perhaps never would have seen, wheeled out-of-the-way trails we never would have conquered, made new friends, and helped folks in need in a very meaningful way. Although the Ultimate Adventure's main purpose is to wheel the toughest trails we can find, putting both man and machine to the ultimate test, it's also about learning, showing respect for the land, and setting a good example for other four-wheelers.

MLBastian now on Twitter
At the insistence of my older brother — always way ahead of me when it comes to technology and new super cool gadgetry — I have joined Twitter. More specifically, I have added Major League Bastian to the Twittersphere to provide you with another source for Jays bits.
You can find me there as, you guessed it, "MLBastian" and I'll be posting quick updates as I deem necessary throughout the spring and the coming season. Shoot, if the Drunks are on Twitter, I guess I should join the club, too. Wouldn't want the Pros falling behind the Joes, now would we? Zing!
Catch you all from the Mattick manana.

Will the same quick updates still be here or are we better served going there?
This blog will come first for updates and news — I'm not going to scoop myself with Twitter. But, that being said, Twitter is a fun way to do short updates from my phone around camp if I want. It's just another way to keep you all informed and, hopefully, entertained.
This explains why The Blue Jays budget is so tight.
TORONTO (Reuters) – Rogers Communications Inc, which owns Canada's biggest wireless carrier, posted a quarterly loss on Wednesday as it took almost C$300 million ($238 million) in impairment charges at its television channels to reflect the impact of the weak economy on advertising revenue.
The company's shares fell more than 8 percent in wake of the earnings report. However, National Bank Financial analyst Greg MacDonald said this was a result of investor disappointment over demand for such Rogers mobile-phone data services as text messaging and Internet browsing.
"Wireless data is not showing the same type of growth the market wants to see," he said. "That's it, flat out."
Rogers said it activated more than 400,000 smartphones in the quarter, including Apple's iPhone 3G and Research In Motion's BlackBerry.
And it said postpaid average revenue per wireless user rose 2 percent to C$74.71, driven in part by 36 percent growth in data revenue.
However, that growth was not enough for some investors after earlier Rogers' growth levels of more than 40 percent. Analysts have noted the weak economy is prompting some subscribers to scale back their spending on flashy mobile phones and more expensive data plans.
"It's not a massive retrenchment, but it is more of a flattening of demand," independent technology analyst Carmi Levy said of current spending habits in the wireless market.
"I think this is virtually entirely due to the recession," he said. "Until the economy turned down, the wireless sector was as hot as hot could be."
Rogers' loss totaled C$138 million ($109.5 million), or 22 Canadian cents a share, in the fourth quarter, ended December 31. A year earlier, it posted a profit of C$254 million, or 40 Canadian cents a share.
Investors dumped the company's stock, sending it 8.4 percent lower to C$31.45 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Club Mate
Mitch wants to order a pallet (800 bottles) of Club-Mate from 2600 in New York. We can get it delivered for $2,657.20 ($657.20 shipping plus $2,000 for the cost of the beverage)
The plan is to sell it at Noisebridge for $4/bottle. If we sold all of them, that would be about $500 net gain for Noisebridge.
Would you chip-in to help bring 800 bottles of Club-Mate to Noisebridge?
- Mitch - I'd be willing to kick in part of the cost
- Matt - sign me up to chip in a few hundred to make this happen
- Lee - I'll put up $200
- ?
6-21-09: Lee and Mitch are currently working on getting Club Mate to Noisebridge.
Ralf (rpw) was trying to organize a shipment of Club Mate to San Francisco. He has spoken to Markus Loscher, one of the owners of the Brauerei Loscher which produces Club Mate on 2009-01-30 and confirmed that there is no exclusive deal between 2600 and Loscher that would impede this operation. Labels with "nutritional facts" already exist and can be directly adhered on the bottles by Loscher.
The current ballpark is 200 cases of Club Mate, ETA is mid-April, before CodeCon. A quote for these 200 cases has been asked for. Apparently the destination port is most likely going to be Oakland and not San Francisco, since the Hamburg Süd port no longer services the Hamburg -> San Francisco route.
- look into FDA approval again. Loscher already has a FDA registration from the last export (to the Last Hope). Another one needed?
get quotes on container prices again. they should have dropped significantly from 2008it seems to be more recommendable to use an (ocean) freight forwarder.
- get quotes on container insurance
- find driver for route from Münchsteinach to Hamburg harbor
- organize logistics on receiving end
- figure out taxing/import duty on receiving end:
- would this be the correct tariff: http://www.faqs.org/rulings/tariffs/22029090.html ?
- Probably not. It looks like it would fall into a "tea or mate" category, which depending on sugar content, it looks like. USITC Tariff Database query results here-Christie
- HTS Number: 2101.20.58: 30.5 cents/kg + 8.5%
- HTS Number: 2101.20.54 10%
- USITC Database: http://reportweb.usitc.gov/tariff/tariff_form_.jsp
- Probably not. It looks like it would fall into a "tea or mate" category, which depending on sugar content, it looks like. USITC Tariff Database query results here-Christie
- ask Emmanuel or send clarification request to U.S. Customs (like http://www.faqs.org/rulings/rulings1997HQ959096.html)
- would this be the correct tariff: http://www.faqs.org/rulings/tariffs/22029090.html ?
- how do we avoid paying taxes in .de ?
- http://www.buyusa.gov/germany/en/vat.html might help with the VAT refund.
"Man gewöhnt sich daran..." Literally, one gets used to it.
It does have some other meanings, You get used to it...you (can) get accustomed to it or in the sense of (suck it up, it'll be ok) you'll get used to it...or you can build up a resistance to it....weird. Strange slogan... --Charlotte 13:53, 21 June 2009 (PDT)

(1825-1921), minister
This farmhouse was the childhood home of Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell, the first formally appointed woman minister in the United States. Federal in style, it was in this home that young Antoinette first received exposure to the early spiritual and reformist guidance which influenced her life. Blackwell's father, Joseph Brown, immersed his family in the Protestant revivals that swept across central New York during the early 19th century. Blackwell was especially caught up in the fervor of the era, becoming a member and sometime speaker at the local Congregationalist church by age nine. Blackwell completed the theological course at Oberlin College in 1850-though her name would not appear on the graduation role until 1908-and was an itinerant preacher and lecturer until she received a permanent appointment as pastor of the Congregational church in South Butler, New York. This was the first recorded ordination of a woman anywhere in the United States. Blackwell continued to travel and lecture all over the Northeast, speaking on behalf of temperance, abolition and women's rights while touring with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. At age 95, she voted in the 1920 presidential election, one of the few early suffragists who survived long enough to participate in the first election opened to women voters.
The Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell Childhood Home is located in Henrietta, NY. The property is not open to the public.
