Hi' please excuse, forgive my illiteracy and inform my ignorance.
I envision this favored axiom of evolutionary biology to be universal.
It takes two to tango (DNA in biology), and it takes two to tangle (quantum entanglement in physics).
I concieve consciousness to directly corilate with language.
The mathematics of quantum physics can not make do without the virtual numeral -1 or i.
I consider i to equal the null point and as such is uncommunicabl.
This then implies that even a thought within our own mind must be between two, as a thought is a communication.
To gain a perspective on this reasoning I consider that I have had thoughts that caused me to laugh.
The definition of a punch line is the communication of an absurd congruence that was not expected by the recipient.
When one has a giggle at his/her own thought then in essence who told who that did not know that?
We are consciously aware of our epidermis and motor function thus aware of the exact moment and position of expected contact
when we touch our self in a spot and manner than that we if touched there and as by another. We can't tickle ourself.
Presumably the tickle responce is due to not knowing exactly where and when.
Considering the findings of experiments on Split Brain subjects, ie people who's hemispheres have been seperated to relieve seizures, I concieve that the right hemisphere is in essence a seperate entity or being than the left hemisphere.
The Fork Box P2 gene has been identified with our capability of language via Brocca's and Wernike's regions, and our left hemisphere is identified as the locus of consciousness.
Our right hemisphere is subconscious and identifies with our creativity and relational capabilities, ie meanings of expression and
recognition and relationships.
There should be conjugal or analogous regions.
Other assumptions I philosphize on are; General Relativity, ie time and space are one and the same and the wave collapse of Quantum Pysics.
I collapse the time and space of our prehistoric and creative stories into a moment of now and here (within my mind).
Geography becomes aspects of mind, ie, Upper and lower Egypt and the two mighty ones = Enteric brain & the 2 hemispheres.
I believe our cranial brains evolved to support our eyes as they require fast and much processing power.
For insight into this I've looked to the neurology of the Octopus and Chromatophores. Very interesting'
Lower Egypt/Enteric brain potentially had 3 billion years of development before the evolution of a head 600 million or so years ago.
Another relative subject of my interest are Superorganisms such as the termites, who from one mated queen become huge metropolis of both physical and social structure. What is the consciousness of an individual termite?
DNA appears to be the Architect and General Contractor not the termite. A Greater Consciousness'
Plato's Atlantis, the Venus of Willendorf and Jesus? Aspects of mind? Von Economo Neurons or VENs, Ven us?
Music requires both hemispheres to collaborate effectively and popular songs are vetted by the masses.
Here I concieve the VENs as Phones and they too are interesting studies.
I concieve that there are only two of us on this world, Adam&Eve, Zeus&Athena, Jesus&Mary, Romeo&Juliet, ect...
Rapunsel has been locked in the tower by the King (conscious lefty)
Our right hemisphere likely relates with our Mirror Neurons and our enteric brain.
Our enteric brain is the dreamer?
Evolution appears to include punctuated jumps.
Perhaps DNA can see future potentials an functions as the chairman.
A bit of Descartè ish, Spinoza and if and or what plus where might be God?
These are samples of my Philosophical threads I hope I've inspired something here?

Astral Projection through the mirrors and a blink:
You are looking through powerfull binoculars or scope at a bird standing on a branch 200 feet away. The bird almost fills the frame.
Suddenly a hawk or falcon hits the bird, it's body distends as the feathers fly. You respond ugh! your abdominals contract an expulsion of air. At that instant you respond as if you were hit.
You blink as you change channels, neural pathways "it's not me".

The past, present and future are all now. All of our past, present and future creative works are vectored to the moment of now.
I have an interesting attachment I wished to add but apparently I am not yet permitted. I'll save the piece and perhaps edit it in later.
This piece I recieved this morning and it also demonstrates or supports Syncronicity. Hmm
Please recall that I have not edited the synchronous data in question since I posted it, ie Rapunsel.
This piece came to me from a site that I registered to but do not post to nor mail to or comunicate to other than through the aether, seemingly. ~¿~
The Golden Rule; Nature appears to prefer the Lucas sequence over the Fibbonacci, what means fibb? Is 1 actuality i ?
Who and or what is Mona Lisa?
If any are truly interested in viewing this piece immediately now, I am email available and should be able to attach there.

Hawking Radiation is when 2 virtual particles (electron & proton that spontaneously pop in an out of existence everywhere, even in the vacum) pop into existance very near the Event Horizon of a Black Hole and one (for some strange reason it's always the proton)
falls to the event horizon (supposedly through) the other becomes a real electron an radiates into the universe.
How fast is that proton moving as it crosses the event horizon? Does it behave as if it is moving at lightspeed?
Does the event horizon actually behave as a solid? If and by that virtue would not the proton follow Newtons law of motion, where
the lesser masses momentum is reflected back into it plus the momentum/inertia of itself times the speed of the black hole, which would
be derived from it's rotation? Does that not imply faster than lightspeed rebound energy imparted to the virtual proton? Does that
proton clash into the virtual electron, thus creating an entanglement and thereby becoming real? i + i = a real 1?
This also would produce a reductive effect on the black hole and an additive effect to the baryonic mass of the universe.
Might that also contribute to expansion?
I'm not familiar nor able to do the math but this is the logic i see. Otherwise where does the new real electron get the energy to radiate away from the black hole?

M-Theory, clashing Branes and curled up dimensions also sound interesting, yes?
Song; The Clash ~ London Calling
Back at the United States consideration of producing it's own currancy George Washington stated that only Kings can be on the money?
Does that imply that Rockefeller is a front man for the Queen's Federal Reserve? Hmm
Galantimine; can this be supplemented to reduce Nicotine in E-juce for electronic cigarettes? It binds to the same receptors as nicotine, is not addictive,
and is a nootropic too. Is it safe too inhale? Can it boost the efficacy or uptake speed thus able to more effectively replace the more dangerous tobbaco?

I find the Mythological version of Eve to be more interesting than the Biblical one, though Athena arose from the head of Zeus.
An interesting Youtube viewing is Athene's Theory of Everything.
Tom Campbell's Big TOE is also interesting. My only question of this is it's extreme subjective aspect.
I would expect a greater shared experience through a priori genetic knowledge.
Re a felled tree seen by one person and then forgotten, still appears as exactly the same for the next.
Galantimine is also an Oneirogen.
If there is a God, is God a dreamer not yet lucid? In a curled up dimension? Otherwise God appears not to be functional.
If there is no God, then we appear to be an evolutionary mistake ultimately headed for self destruction and highly distructive to all of the planets macro inhabitants.
If the brains of Caetecia are held objectively in comparison to ours, it appears quite obvious that theirs are superior.
Ever more so when the motor and Sensory Homunculus is considered in comparison with their version.
They can also create a collective echo-sonic perspective on their enviroment that is far superior to anything we can even envision.
Science does not believe in any sort of collective consciousness that could imply telepathy.
I am not quite as resolute as our brains do produce an electric product.
I'm also not entirely convinced about Boids and it's bassis for expaining herd, flock, and schooling behaviors.
The collectives know how to migrate to the proper design yet I doubt that any individual among them does.
Elephants are an exeption to this but they are highly intelligent and only move across hundreds rather than thousands of miles.
Furthermore they can communicate across many miles sub sonically.
What is a dream? Can dreams be shared? What is time and space in a dream? Hmm

A Caterpillar & Butterfly are exactly the same DNA yet vastly different in both body form and social behavior.
A Monarch Butterfly migration is multi generational.
There are many types and diverse behaviors of Termites within a single Queen's progeny.
DNA acts on behavior and has switches based on time and environment.
Is it not possible that DNA can act on far reaching timescales? Biblical prophecy style ish?
The Feb 2013 Scientific American magazine has some interesting articles (The Evolution of Creativity ).
One says that human population size affects creativity beond the increased information exchange factors.
DNA contains an awful lot of information and we have thus far only identified 27,000 around 3% or so of our total genes. Science says that it takes only 30,000 genes to make us and the other 97% are more or less junk. Interestingly that is close to the same % as we know of the universes material.
Can DNA calculate into the future? Are switches and programs built in that act when certain intergenerational future benchmarks are attained? I hope so.
It is quite feasible to make accurate predictions of the future with enough information of the past.
There is enough information capacity in DNA to factor a variety of potentials (different future scenarios).
EEG measures electricity outside of our cranium. How far can that concept be taken?
Caetecia have individual names for each other too, and likey no repetes like Jane Dough & John Smith. ;-)
Also Caetecia are the only other animal known outside of us that enguage sex specifically for pleasure.
It appears that they would have a physical disadvantage comparing to us, implying a more substantial mental component ~..~,
Oh! Has anybody taken a good look at the Buddha Hoti and noticed what he, er ahm' She actually appears to represent?
Anticipation of? The Laughing Buddha, he he he Hoty? I have page of insightful pictures I would of liked to attach of Buddha Hoti too. But alas :-(
Nothing crude, just insightful. Again maybe add later, or email now if you wish?
Once you see the Laughing Buddha in this perspective, you will wonder what were they thinking otherwise?
Many things in our popular cultures can be reviewed with a alternate perspective and revealed as other than that which was indoctrinated into you of them.
I see much interesting and humorous that others do not see. (The learned & The taught)

FYI Grandma is Enteric, yes?
We have a convenience store here called Mac's Milk, their logo was taken from a chain they bought out called Winks.
The logo represents an Owel winking everybody sees that. I see within the outline a Chicken in profile.
Only when I point that out to people, do they see it, and afterwords that is how they see it always. It becomes more obvious than the owel.
google, images; Mac's Milk logo and see it.
Seems to be a common theme, yes? There always seems to be a chick in. he he ;-)

Everybody wants to think outside the Box yet few venture from it's surface.
What defines the box? We only see what we attend and culture tells us what to attend.
Perhaps it is better to think inside the box and ask Kitty Heisenberg, am I a poison or a nutrient?

Syncronicity strikes once more.
Right after my above post I turned the TV to the History channel and the program that was just begining was about a newly come to light Coptic fragment of a gospel, the Gospel of the Wife of Jesus. The Da Vinci Code?
"Split a piece of wood, and I am there, turn over a stone, and I am there"... Crack open a rock, and I am there.
Sometimes it feels a bit Zarathustra ish.

From one perspective many points can line up to project the same meaning, from another perspective one point can project
double, triple, quadruple, or up to 360° sparkler entandrè.

Termites and other superorganisms appear to have an unconscious subconsciousness super imposed on their collective.
This could be called a brain beond, yes? Brainmeta, yes.
My big question is do we also?
What is instinct? Our talent for language is instinctive and instinct does influence behavioral activities.
By metaphorically collapsing time and space can we peer into a 5th dimension.
This is what I practice. I do percieve much that otherwise I would not. I call this Visionary Philosophy.
I look to our creative works, and where the most talent is compounded.
Music appears the most impressive, followed by memes, mythologies, stories with staying power like fairy tales, nursery rhymes,
the big stories within religions, (I believe that the more detailed aspects of bibles ect. are consciously contrived for the purpose
of governance, ie tools of dominance sanctioned by Neitzchian oppressors)
I look more to phonetics than spellings. One simple tool I use is, many of our words were composed by combining smaller
Greek and Latin words or other language combinations so I ignore these meanings and phonetically suss out combinations of plain English combinations.
What is most popular is most pertenant.
Visual arts such as TV and Movies appear less accurate and informative, yet the best are better. Avatar is the most popular movie
in history, Speiberg's ET? ET looks like a turtle without a shell, without a home, yes? a poignantly Jewish ish message, yes?
Movie trailers are more powerful message convayers as the best (talant condenced) parts are shown.
On television, good commercials are tops, followed by humor oriented products such as the most popular sitcoms.
A favorite of mine is apropriatly, The Big Bang Theory. I point this out because I assume that the subtext of our Superorganism is
founded on the basics of DNA, this being eating (nurishment) and sex (procreation). More foreplay less coitus, ask Lenard, hehe.
Oral sex appears to be a new directive, highway 69. Think natural population equilibrium. 1/2 of you all won't make it, ( reach the pole shift). he he
Furthermore consider what this would mean for a Muslim woman, and female empowerment?
"Next time you look at the flyers and ads consider what everybody is really smiling and laughing about" Laughing Buddha
Little Red Riding Hood? Wolf ate grandma and a woodsman killed the wolf. What is a woody? Woody Woodpecker ha ha ha ha ha a a a!
Think of the right hemisphere as our spouse. To be married under God, the two become one. How else could that be?
God made Sol blind, Rajesh couldn't talk to girl without a drink, then got stupid and the girl didn't talk to him.
The left hemisphere thinks itself the King/God, the one and only. Arrogance, yes? Treat your girl right and she'll talk to you.
She is the social talent, yes? She has the Mirrors, yes? She is Venus, our right hemisphere has an asymmetrical abundance of VENs.
Further on Raj of The Big Bang Theory sitcom, he is effeminate and couldn't speak to girls without alcohol. Our language facalties are left hemisphere
traits, it is the right which cannot speak. Alcahol desensitizes VENs, = dumb down the VENs and lefty gains dominance.
Singing draws from both hemispheres and emotions. Emotion is Neurologically basic to reason, you can feel it in your gut (enteric).
I enjoy watching the singing competitions on TV, The Voice, X Factor, ect... a few years back there was a guy on X Factor that had great difficulty speaking yet sang beautifully. Females appear to be more right brain associative and tend to display superior relative language skills.
How about the meme, Get in touch with your feminine half?
What does getting f-d or screwed mean? Mother Nature says "To be dominated" yes? "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as a man lies with a woman"
Got nothing to do with gays, two people expressing love for each other. Mr bible stupidious, got that!?

Conceptually I extend the Enteric brain to encompass what can and has been referred to as our reptilian brain, ie everything below the thalamus. Our visual and auditory senses report through our thalamus our olfactory does not and reports directly to enteric brain.
"Are you begining to sense twinges of recognition yet Joesus? For not to disrupt or clutter the flow of this iteration please keep me under your hat, for now yes?" L.K.
BTW; My metaphonics are somewhat derived from characters that can be visualized at this site. Shadowness.kom, see (Akela)'s photos & art. and then filling in the blanks with what DNA might say. I still use it as a tool. Also check out (Flo)'s art. Is Akela's dark woman Neanderthal Eve?
Books; Earth's Children series by Gean M Auel - The Mammoth Hunters, Clan of the Cave Bear, Shelters of Stone, Vally of the Horses, The Land of the Painted Caves.
Songs; Tovlo ~ Talking Body, EELS ~ New Alphabet & ~ Mr E's Beautiful Blues. Serpants and blue genes? AT-CG, Junkhouse ~ Shine
What I Need --- Wha_ I Nee_ = I love you, in Mandarin Chinese, what does td mean in all it's permutations? AT-CG?, God?
The word god does translate to denote an expression of relitive consciousness, yes.
Songs; Creedence Clearwater Revival ~ Bad Moon Rising & The Fabulous Thunderbirds ~ Mustang Sally~¿~,
How about this for a buzz? I am Nero, Ceasar of Roman and Hoti. I am also Ronnie.
Knee row seize her row man, yes the man in a boat. He he he ~¿~, Up s__t creek with a paddle? Just a slip of the Tongue. Buzinga!
Songs; "I'm the king of second chances" Mariannas Trench ~ Here's To The Zeros & then maybe rock on with some AC/DC ~ Back in Black, Hell's Bells, ect...
#14 the Nth posting, yes? All time is now. A biblical redo with new insight? Time cycles and slinky dogs, Mr & Mrs Potatohead,Toy Story? What is at center of Mayan calender? Hmm..
Songs; Twisted Sister ~ We're Not Gonna Take It, - Johnny Cash ~ Ring of Fire, meets Sue, T-Rex ~ Bang a Gong

My Metaphonic Alphabet
0 = you/true
1/A = Give
2/B = Music
3/C = Me, feminine, auditory
4/D = Desire
5/E = Essence
6/F = Honour
7/G = Beauty
8/H = Danger/Power, where there is power also there can be danger inherent
9/I = In
10/J = Direct
11/K = Me, masculine, visual
12/L = Your Gift
13/M = Hold
14/N = not/be/do, mind, conscious, free will, or choice of inference
15/O = You
16/P = Focus or Condence
17/Q = You&Me
18/R = Correct
19/S = Consideration
20/T = Out
21/U = Under/Over+Essence, DNA or dishonest
22/V = Feel
23/W = Hope/Grace, think 2 strands of DNA for example
24/X = Attract
25/Y = Endearement
26/Z= Life
Double letters apply the phi, examples; DD = 4-8-12/ desire power your gift, MM = 13-26-39/ hold life me in. Can go more #places if you wish? Plus it can be fractal by decoding the previous decoded level.
I created this by considering what speech may have began as for proto hominids and the concerns they may have had.
There are common semantic themes in animals such as poop is bad, monkeys throw it at you if they don't like you.
I had a parrot that purposely would poop on my dogs head. Spitting is similar and lamas will spit on you if they don't like you, ect...
T is a spiting sound and gesture, even within the mouth it is furthest outward.
Apes being quadropeds have no breath control, when they laugh it is in and out breaths not extended out breath as we do.
an in breath for them might conote in as an ih sound whereas an out breath is an ah sound conotting give.
Observing Chimpanzee it's obvious they facial gesture to communicate.
Extending this thought process to the inside of our mouth for tongue inference, likely valid as we also gesture with our tongue outside of our mouth, yes?
The more inconspicuous phonics I did intuit and took clues from the appearance of the letters as they also seem to present corelative attributes. Further I factored in what DNA might have to say and how we do use the sounds.
Pseudo science maybe but it does seem to work in a mysterious fuzzy kind of way.
Also it helps to debrief our hebbian indoctrinated concepts by compexifiing the semantic options and engendering a greater emotional component into our choices of meaning.
Technical language is to contrived to be usefull generally. Any words to do with communication have good reads, try talk, speek, shout, scream, cry, whisper, ect... some very interesting relations can be detected.
Emotional words can appear to highlite the solution to an offence implied in them rather than repeat what it is, hmm, interesting.
I sense and believe that there is some kind of validity here. And I do get it to work for me yet sometimes it appears to work so well that it causes me to wonder if indeed we have free will. It's that powerful and can also engender psychosis like states.
AT-CG = Give out me beauty, what else would DNA want to say? God = Beauty you desire? GOD is the word/god is the WORD?
The word GOD denotes an expression of relitive consciousness, Yes that says that.
Science fiction and fantasy cinematography is also very poignant. Acronyms are also interesting.
Percieve and concieve as Lucy the Astalopithocene. Lucifer? Devil in the mirror = Lived, DNA's experience.
Evil can be a past tense too, I believe. Only ignorance can be evil.
Steven Hawking has this wrong, any extraterrestrial species evolved enough to get here will be moral beond us.
Did Jesus really say to those who would stone Mary, "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"?
The implication being that she was a sinner because she had to sell her body to survive?
No woman would sell herself in prostitution unless an inferior society caused her to. The Who ~ Who Are You
Even a nimphomanic would choose who she slept with.
We are 99% the same genetic person, Mary resides to the right of God. Is God sleeping Lazarus?
Jesus is Judas and a John. The Beatles ~ Hey Jude (Judas) listen to the words!

It was all just the process that was nessesary to get us to here, now.
We have the technology, we can rebuild us.
We can simmulate and sythesize meats for consumption.
Rather than destroy life we can support and expand that.
Take another look at the Homunculus, see God's hands?
How about another look at the Venus of Willendorf? What does she mean? Supposedly she as other statuets of her were thrown into fires as sacrifice?
A naked woman with a wool hat pulled over her eyes? Is that what is represented, or can the x hatch pattern of her hair mean something else, or both?
Perhaps the blindness and or unconsciousness of the collective. Regardless what her crafter meant, what does she mean when you look at her now?
I'm not sure they had wool 30,000 years ago, I doubt that. Thousands of years later the Venus of Kostenki looks almost the same. Venus figurines are found from all over the world, Africa, Asia, Middle east... Goddesses of fertility? I hardly think getting pregnant was a problem, and we weren't yet farming...?
I would hazard a guess that back in the day society may have been matriarchal, think about it?
I believe talent is the ability to channal our instincts and in that sense comes from a different interpretation of God, yes? Yet we are still God's hands.
Ecologically or from the perspective of DNA what is our purpose if not to become her caretakers, to be Supernatural in the sense that we can (today) do
that which could increase the diverse intelligent lifeforms biomas on this planet. We are Supernatural in the sense that our structures and technologies are
not created by natural means but through our/God's creativity, yes?
What does the word God conote? The answer to that is multifaceted, yes?
Can we create another universe in a dream? One as complex and rich as what we see in our supposed wakened state. What is time in a dream?
Can we live forever young with a partner in a world of our own making? Maybe in the final sleep of our life on this earth. Vedic dreamtime? Heaven?
We are chemically powered electric generators expressing creativity through our minds. When the generator dies, we're done. Heaven is on earth.
At least that is how I see it. If you don't get to heaven while you breathe, ya aint gettin' there. The after you die version is BS meant to pacify slaves.
Who is Popeye's Olive Oyle? I think her name is really Olive Orca.
google, images; Promise Tamang Phan and see if you can spot her, see any lights in the picture?
Where is Waldo?
How about google images; The Neibours. Who are they?
Some very interesting googling indeed. Metaphors?
Now what shall we do with the minions my dear. he he ~¿~,
How about an Exodus? Out of Africa and any other biologicaly valuable zones.
We should learn from the Termites and build tall and deep cities and ditch the toxic cars.
Maybe keep a few clean runners just for fun, but out of the cities, yes?
Popular Science magazine May 2015 page 28, build that and more.
It appears to me that 70% of the labour force is sqandered just to track and tend the money $.
70% of the remainder is just producing garbage, ie products made to fail and be replaced regularly for the economy?
Wow! Look at all the available potential living space, without raising a brick?
Build for recreation and quality of life. Star Trek style abodes and buffets further reduce wasted energy. Studio suites?
What species are we, Homo Sapiens Sapiens? Who is the second knower? What is the second knowledge? Homo Sapien Idaltu.
Daisy my dear' I'm hoping for a new Bicycle? A Pinhoti Lightspeed, I have ditched my car and could use the exorcize. On a bicycle built for 2.

Our conscious or reasoning mind processes comparatively very few bytes of data relative to our subconscious partner.
We consciously only percieve what we attend. Cultural indoctrination tells us what to attend and we become blind to otherthan.
A simple example of our limited perception;
It is only after you buy a car that you notice how many of that particular model are around you on the road, yes?
Consider that it is a hot summer evening and you are lying on a bed with little or no clothes on, you are ontop of the sheets and it's fairly humid. You hear the feint buzz of a mosquito and your mind turns to attend this. You can feel a breeze waft across your belly
an you spot the mosquito about two feet above. You loose sight again. Ahah' you feel it land on a hair on your leg and you slap that exact spot. You look to see if you got it, only to find you just slapped a gnat 50 times smaller than the mosquito.
The next day you go to the beach, it's hot and humid as you lay out in your bathing suit. Suddenly theres a pang on your cheek,
you slap it and presto got it! A horse fly 200 times the size of a mosquito alighted and you didn't percieve that, untill it bit you.
Our education system is geared to indoctrinating good little slaves. No new scientific paradigms have ever come out of a University.
They come from garages, basements, little shops, little back rooms like at a patent office, yes?
Another observation that I've percieved is if a person is overly suspicious or distrustful of others, that is the person
you should not trust. People tend to act as if everyone else thinks the same way they do.
Likewise for the honest persons who overestimate those around them, re Tesla, ect...
If you want to percieve something new, you have to change the way you look at things.

No insult was perceived.
I didn't come to insult you Joesus.
wisdom is also a product of experience, which is often perceived as arrogance by the ignorant!
Doubt is the foundation of wisdom, arrogance is it's death knell.
You mean try to see it the way you want me too? Show me something I need to see the same way you do, or for that matter, the way everyone must see things.
Get a little perspective dude.
Jesus has been around for some 2,000+ years and he aint saved the world yet.You mean the idea of Jesus. Don't recall meeting the man personally, nor have I met anyone else who has regardless of any statement to the fact that he has become the personal savior of that person.
To capitalize upon that thought... I see some 18 posts that don't seem to be much different than each other, and no one has made any comment but me. Care to try for 19 and see something change?
"To keep doing what you've always done and expecting different results is the definition of insanity" Albert Einstein
Furthermore I am not nor ever was Enki or Kalki.I made reference to the three names, because the sytax, content, or endless rambling is pretty much the same.
Depends on what you call poo. and yes, evidence shows that 18 posts without anything to show other than my response and your interpretation of me, means I'm the only fly that you have attracted.
Captain Obvious who flung poo? Some things written here do become evidentiary rather quickly, yes?
I only addressed you because you wanted my attention and invited constructive criticism, but like I said, it's not likely I'm going to give you too much attention when there is nothing of interest. Good luck with whatever you're hoping to achieve here.

Like I said you see what you want to see. The only time I refered to you, was the post with your name. The only inference I made about you is in the post directly replying. Sensitive for such a big ego, sheesh'
I'm just trying to play with some fresh ideas and reach for some bananas, re the Wet Monkey Theory.
I am/was hoping to learn how to wash a potato also, re the 100th Monkey Effect.
I do believe those two are related, yes?

Like I said you see what you want to see.
Or I see what I CAN see based on what you wanted to draw from me. There are no victims in life.
The only time I refered to you, was the post with your name.
And why did you refer to me?
The only inference I made about you is in the post directly replying.Then you missed the part about:
"Are you begining to sense twinges of recognition yet Joesus? For not to disrupt or clutter the flow of this iteration please keep me under your hat, for now yes?"
Sensitive for such a big ego, sheesh'
Nope. Interaction does require a certain sensitivity but not in a way that sees everything as a threat. One can learn to engage without guilt or need in perfect surrender to a greater purpose than a reaction to cause and effect.
Back to the recognition you inferred, yet disregard in the defense of your call to involve me.

For biological quantum computers we appear to present so typically _86 like, yes?
Considering your first post on this thread, I'd say the bridge is burnt.

Following-up on previous posts where I addressed some basics about how DBAs should regularly review SQL Server Logs and be aware of what's going on with their underlying hosts and/or hardware, I thought I'd take a few minutes and address some of the things that I recommend 'keeping an eye on' when it comes to DBAs interacting with the SQL Server Agent.
My Approach to Scanning SQL Server Agent Activity
For the few production servers that I manage for clients, whenever I peek in on their servers (which might be as often as a few times a week or only every few weeks – depending upon workload characteristics), my primary goal is to 'get in and out' as quickly as possible – without missing anything pertinent.
To do that, I start by scanning the Job Activity Monitor – just by double-clicking on it.
Because by looking at this 'view' of SQL Server Agent Jobs, I'm able to quickly spot any big problems such as jobs that might have failed or crashed or run into issues – simply because those jobs will have a red icon next to them. (Of course, for jobs that are mission critical and which can't fail without causing some problems, I always make sure to set up a Notification so that someone will be notified when these jobs run into issues. But, for other (less critical) jobs – scanning them via the Job Activity Monitor is a great way to go as you get a lot of information in very short order.)
Of course, just because a job succeeded the last time it ran, doesn't mean there might not be problems. Likewise, even if a job continues to run on a regular basis without any actual errors, that doesn't mean it's necessarily working correctly either.
As such, another thing that I very commonly do is take a peek at the history of particular jobs:
As this, too, represents a great way to get a lot of information 'at a glance' because, for example, if there have been any recent failures, they'll show up in the Log – along with any potential details about notifications, and so on.
Whereas, if jobs are running along without any problems, you'll see "Nuthin' but Green" which is what you're hoping to see.
Don't Forget to Check Durations
Of course, while Green/Success outcomes are what you want to see – their presence isn't always 100% indicative of the lack of problems. And that, in turn, is where it's really up to you as the DBA to scrutinize the potential for any issues going on with key jobs on your server.
And this especially applies to the kinds of jobs you might have already set up alerts (or Notifications) for should they 'fall down'. And, what I'm specifically referring to here would be key jobs such as Data Integrity Checks (i.e., execution of DBCC CHECKDB()), backups, index maintenance, or other mission-critical business operations that may be deployed on your server via the SQL Server Agent.
And, as an example, no where are Durations more important than when it comes to looking at various 'size of data' jobs – or jobs that are directly keyed to how much data you have. Because sharp increases in the amount of time these jobs take can either be indicative of unexpected and un-planned-for growth (that you may need to immediately address), or they can even be indicative of the potential for database corruption – such as in situations where SQL Server might have to be spending MUCH more time reading data than it might normally have to (thanks to retries vs corrupt sectors/etc.)
Likewise, another anomaly you will want to watch for will be cases where a job that normally takes a long time to execute, suddenly and unexpectedly executes in much less time than normal – because cases like this might mean that some key aspect of the job was skipped. In fact, a great example of where you can run into just such a situation would be a case where you might be trying to run DBCC CHECKDB() dynamically against all of your databases using the undocumented sp_msForEachDb stored procedure to 'loop' through the names of all of your databases. But, as Aaron Bertrand (blog | twitter) points out, sp_msForEachDb is capricious, treacherous, and simply shouldn't be trusted – because (under load) it can quite simply LIE about how many databases there are, and if you're using this undocumented proc (that Microsoft is within their rights to NOT fix), then you'll run into just such a problem. And, the same thing would apply to situations where you might be using similar techniques for index maintenance, backups, or whatever. The key point being that sudden DROPS in how long an operation takes MIGHT be an indicator that there's been some sort of a problem.
Otherwise, for other kinds of jobs, by studying them periodically you should be able to gain a sense of their 'ebbs and flows' in terms of the variability that you see in their individual execution times – and, as you continue regular check-ins and scans of your SQL Server Agent Jobs, you should also be able to potentially get to a point where you can even gain a sense of when there might be problems with these jobs – based solely upon anomalies with their durations.
Finally, don't forget too that the SQL Server Agent has its OWN logs – where it complains about issues, problems, and hiccups that it might have. And while I personally don't check it as often as I should, it's something you'll probably want to take a peek at semi-regularly as well.

Manchester police officer's deal with court includes anger management classesBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2013 7:54PM
MANCHESTER - A Manchester police officer will have domestic assault charges against him dropped if he takes part in counseling activities involving domestic-violence evaluation, anger management and parenting classes, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
The deal means that if Adam Beland, a 7-year officer of the Manchester Police Department, complies with the requirements and stays out of trouble, the two misdemeanor assault charges against him will be dropped, said Kirsten Wilson, a prosecutor with the Rockingham County Attorney's Office.
Doing so also means no criminal record for Beland. Wilson said the resolution is typical for first-time domestic violence charges at Manchester District Court.
"We talked to his wife about this extensively," Wilson said, adding the wife supports the deal.
In January, Beland pleaded innocent to approaching his wife from behind, shoving her two or three times, placing his left hand around her neck and pushing her out of their Country Club Drive apartment.
He was released on bail and initially placed on unpaid leave from the police department, pending trial.
But in March, a judge modified Beland's bail to allow him to work inside the police station. The modification allowed Beland to possess a weapon while at work, but he would surrender the weapon and ammunition upon leaving the building.
Police spokesman Lt. Maureen Tessier said Tuesday that Beland's status remains unchanged; he is working at a limited duty capacity for the department. Tessier said police will not comment any further about the matter.
The Rockingham County Attorney handled the case to avoid any appearance of a conflict, Wilson said.
She said restrictions on possession of firearms remain in effect until the charges are dropped.
Under the deal, Beland must participate in a domestic violence evaluation, which must be performed by a provider approved by the prosecutor. He must take a 10-week anger management class. He must participate in a parenting class, which can be satisfied by the child impact class that is required of all divorce proceedings in the state, Wilson said.
Wilson said such arrangements are made with consideration of how successful a prosecution would be and the best resolution for the victim and society. She said the case involved conflicting witness statements.

I bought two books at the recent Amagansett Library book fair — a nice clean copy of Bartlett's for my office, which I will proceed to mark up, and "Rapid Italian for Students and Tourists," which better provide pretty rapid results indeed, for my wife and I are talking about going to Italy in September, even though the dollar's worth about 70 cents over there.
"Maybe Little Italy would be better," I said the other night, "or Sam's."
Everybody's always making a connection between the national deficit and household budgets. To make the comparison exact, I'm going to mint my own specie then and issue bonds and notes — so that we can vacation in Italy — backed, of course, by the full faith and credit of the Graveses.
"I got the Bartlett's," I said to Mary, "because it will help me with my column."
The next day I dipped into it and went immediately to Dr. Samuel Johnson, who said that an essay was "a loose sally of the mind, an irregular indigested piece; not a regular and orderly composition."
Well, the hell with him. It says in my book on Montaigne that "the English were happy to let a writer go on about himself, so long as he did it agreeably," and "very few English essays after the early 17th century were philosophically rigorous stabs of thought on important topics; almost all were delightful rambles about nothing in particular."
So there. If it's nothing in particular you're craving you've come to the right place.
Which reminds me when the ice cream truck came by the other night, making a joyful sound that even I could hear, I rushed out, stepping back 60 or so years in time to order a Creamsicle.
"I liked Toasted Almond too," said Mary.
"Wait, wait!" I said, running back out onto the lawn. But he was gone.
"Life admits not of delays," said Dr. Johnson. "When pleasure can be had, it is fit to catch it. . . ."
I would stop here except I think I owe you a bit more, even considering the continuing repressed state of the economy, which has forced all of us here to trim our sails, as it were. When first hired, I was told, when I asked how long this column should be, that a page and a half would be about right. And I've written a page and a half ever since. Periodically, I've done it blindfolded, as a test, and have seen on removing the veil, and hitting "wcb," that I usually come in at around 450 words. This by way of apologizing for the 317-word count of two weeks past, which I made up for by writing a 618-word one the week following.
We're at 466 now, so I must hurry and finish with Dr. Johnson's story of an old tutor who told his students that when they reread their compositions (as I often do) and came across a passage that they thought was particularly fine (as I often do) to strike it out.

In April the student senate at the University of California, Berkeley, twice held all-night sessions to debate a proposal urging the school to divest from two US military companies "materially and militarily profiting" from the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Hundreds of people packed the hall, and statements in support of the measure were read aloud from leaders, including Noam Chomsky, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Naomi Klein and Alice Walker. In the end the divestment measure failed (the senate majority of 13 to 5 was not enough to overturn the student government president's veto), but the outcome was surely less significant than the furor over the issue. Following related battles last year at Hampshire College and the Toronto International Film Festival, the Berkeley measure was yet another signal that the divestment initiative, part of a broader movement popularly known as BDS, for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, has become a key battleground in the grassroots struggle over the future of Israel/Palestine.
"We're at a super-exciting moment, truly a turning point," says Rebecca Vilkomerson of Jewish Voice for Peace, an activist organization that supports selective divestment from companies profiting from the occupation. "For the first time we're seeing a serious debate of divestment at a major public university." BDS supporters say the movement has the potential to transform international opinion in much the way that the divestment movement in the 1980s isolated the South African apartheid regime. Or as Tutu wrote to the Berkeley students:
The same issue of equality is what motivates the divestment movement of today, which tries to end Israel's 43 year long occupation and the unequal treatment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government ruling over them. The abuses they face are real, and no person should be offended by principled, morally consistent, nonviolent acts to oppose them. It is no more wrong to call out Israel in particular for its abuses than it was to call out the Apartheid regime in particular for its abuses.
Opponents of BDS see just that threat—that Israel will be isolated. They say that BDS unfairly singles out Israel for conduct that other states are also guilty of and that it seeks to delegitimize the Jewish state in the eyes of the world, thereby threatening Israel's existence. Some argue that grassroots actions put the emphasis on the wrong target. As Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the Shalom Center said on Democracy Now! in March, "It's the United States government you've got to look to, not private industry or private commerce. So that's one really big difference simply at strategic and tactical levels."
When did the BDS movement begin, why is it growing and what does it want?
The campaign traces its origins to a July 2004 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (the World Court), which found Israel's separation wall in the West Bank to be "contrary to international law." The ICJ also recommended that the parts of the wall built inside the occupied territories be dismantled and that Palestinians affected by the wall be compensated. When a year passed with no sign that the opinion would be enforced, a wide-ranging coalition of more than 170 organizations representing Palestinian civil society issued a call for boycott, divestment and sanction of Israel "until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights." Compliance meant three things: ending the occupation, recognizing equal rights for Palestinian citizens of Israel and respecting the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194 of 1948.

This was one of my favorite gifts for Christmas:
I ordered this for myself (from Scout), wrapped it, and put it under the tree. To: honey From: honey. I couldn't wait to unwrap it. Charlie, our 11 year old was excited too. He has always wanted one of these, and I always have told him those places are special to those people. We don't have anywhere that we go all of the time that is special to us. We like to travel around. So, when he saw this his eyes lit up! What does it stand for? SLIP, SLIP, KNIT!!!! His faced turned from excitement to confused and then a big smile. I think he approves. This is what is special to us. :)
The sweater I am wearing is a pre blogger sweater. I LOVE it, and can't tell you how much I wear it. A Classic Elite Pattern, Ruffled Coat, made out of Classic Elite Inca Marl.

BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge in Massachusetts says he won't order more hair-removal treatments for a transgender inmate who won a court order for taxpayer-funded sex-change surgery.
Judge Robert Wolf also ruled Tuesday that the gender reassignment surgery he ordered for Michelle Kosilek in September will be on hold until the state appeals his ruling.
Kosilek, convicted in the 1990 murder of wife Cheryl Kosilek, was born male but has received hormone treatments and now lives as a woman in an all-male prison.
Wolf said Tuesday that additional electrolysis for Michelle Kosilek would have to be part of a new case.
The state Department of Correction has said it discontinued electrolysis treatments after finding Kosilek had already received significant hair removal and her remaining hair could be removed by shaving or depilatories.

Fearless (UK - DVD R2)
Chris Gould checks out Universal's new release of the recent Jet Li feature film...
Ronny Yu's Fearless is a fictionalised account of the life of legendary Chinese martial artist, Huo Yuanjia (as portrayed by Jet Li). As a boy, Yuanjia longs to learn the secrets of Huo Wushu from his father, Endi (Collin Chou), the greatest fighter in all of Tianjin. However, because of Yuanjia's ill-health, his father refuses to teach him, prompting the boy to steal the family wushu manual and begin his training in secret. As the years pass, Yuanjia's skill and reputation as a fighter grow, matched only by his arrogance and pride. He succeeds in beating all-comers and eventually takes on a number of disciples, and when one of them is injured by a rival master named Chin, Yuanjia challenges him to a duel.
Although the battle is hard-fought, Yuanjia emerges victorious, killing Chin in the process. Weary, he returns home to find his mother and daughter dead, slain in revenge for Chin's death. It is then that his disciple confesses to provoking Chin, sending Yuanjia mad with grief and shame. No longer caring whether he lives or dies, Yuanjia flees Tianjin and ends up in a remote village where he is cared for by an old woman and her blind granddaughter, Moon. As time passes, Yuanjia learns to come to terms with his turbulent past, and finds peace with the world once more.
However, upon his return to Tianjin, Yuanjia learns that an American strongman named Hercules O'Brien has been defeating China's best fighters, labelling them 'Weak Men of the East'. Yuanjia challenges O'Brien and beats him, prompting the Foreign Chamber of Commerce to hatch a plan to humiliate Yuanjia by pitting him against fighters from the four major foreign powers in China. After defeating three of the four challengers with relative ease Yuanjia faces the formidable Tanaka of Japan, but in this contest not everything is as it seems.
All of this should sound familiar to anyone remotely interested in martial arts movies, because the plot could have been plucked from any number of them: an arrogant young fighter rises through the ranks, suffers a personal tragedy and, after taking time off for some much-needed reflection, returns home an enlightened man. That's basically what happens in Fearless. The first half of the film does a great job of showing Huo Yuanjia's rise and fall, and Li puts in a genuinely convincing performance as a man whose pride has gotten the better of him.
However, it is when things begin to go horribly wrong for the character that the film also starts to falter, as Huo's self-destructive trip is underplayed and his subsequent rescue and rehabilitation by the villagers is underdeveloped. Before you know it, Yuanjia's tormented soul is at peace and he's back in Tianjin forming the Jingwu Sports Federation (which seemingly springs up overnight). In once scene transition we literally leap forward two years in time, which makes absolutely no sense when you consider that all the character had to do was travel from Tianjin to Beijing.
There are rumours that a great deal of footage was deleted from the film before it found its way into cinemas, including a number of pivotal fight scenes and an entire subplot involving a character portrayed by Michelle Yeoh (who is apparently still listed in the credits in some versions). This would go some way towards explaining the apparent gaps in the proceedings, and indeed the film does feel like large chunks were removed to make it more attractive to a wider International audience. Ultimately I was left feeling short-changed, and I would certainly be very interested in seeing the longer cut should it ever emerge.
Even with all of that said, Fearless is still extremely entertaining. While the fight choreography from Yuen Woo-ping is more wuxia than wushu—with the characters performing many superhuman manoeuvres and surviving injuries that would kill an ordinary person—there can be no denying the cinematic virtue of such exaggerated martial arts. Many, if not all, of the fight sequences are breathtaking, with my personal favourite being the confrontation between Huo Yuanjia and Master Chin, in which the two lay waste to an entire restaurant as they fight for survival. Time will tell if this really is Li's final martial arts epic, but if it is, at least he's going out on a high note.
Universal Pictures' release of Fearless arrives with an anamorphically enhanced transfer, framed at approximately 2.40:1. For the most part this is a very presentable effort, with strong, naturalistic colour rendition that is very faithful to the theatrical presentation. Flesh tones are especially pleasing, but the transfer handles everything from the colourful markets of Tianjin to the lush greens of Yuanjia's village retreat with aplomb. The image has a 'film like' quality that is sometimes lacking from the big-budget Hollywood blockbusters shot on green screen soundstages, but that carries with it its own set of problems. Things are a little softer than the very best transfers out there, and while contrast and black levels are fairly solid throughout, they are not perfect. I also noticed a single instance of excessive grain near the beginning and a little posterisation towards the end, but nothing that would spoil any reasonable person's enjoyment. All-in-all this is a respectable, if unremarkable, transfer.
The film includes Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks in the original Mandarin, as well as dubbed French and Castellano. The quality of the 5.1 track is actually pretty good, with a strong presence from the frontal array and clear, concise dialogue. The rears are used sparingly, mostly for the score and the occasional roar of the crowd during the livelier scenes, but they bring a respectable amount of ambience to the proceedings. The track is able to bring to life the subtleties of the wind whispering in the trees during Yuanjia's exile, but perhaps the most impressive use of all of the channels working in tandem is during Yuanjia's duel with Master Chin, in which swords clash, furniture breaks and thunder travels around the soundstage. If I had one complaint about the track it would be that that bass is a little on the weak side, which is perhaps a side effect of the 384Kbps encoding, but other than that it is a solid effort.
There was some concern that the subtitles on this disc would be of the 'SDH' variety, but that is not the case. While all dialogue (even English) is subtitled, there are no subs for effects like cheering crowds or thunderstorms. It's slightly annoying that the English dialogue is needlessly subtitled, but it only affects around a half dozen lines so it's not too much of a problem. Universal should really have included separate English and English SDH subtitles on the disc though. I was also somewhat disappointed with what appeared to be loose translations of the original dialogue, unless of course the word 'wuss' was commonplace in19th century China. At least one of the characters is also given a more 'Western' name (as Yueci becomes Moon).
Well this is going to be remarkably easy. The disc doesn't actually include any extra content—not a sausage. I know the film wasn't exactly a huge box-office draw in the UK, but the lack of any bonus material at all really is unforgivable. With any number of inferior films treated to Special Editions these days, was it really too much to ask that Universal show Fearless a little more respect?
Fearless is an enjoyable film that tries to do a little more than the average martial arts beat-'em-up. Sure it has its flaws, chief among them the host of historical inaccuracies, but no one is claiming that this is a serious biopic of Huo Yuanjia. If you take it for what it is, an entertaining martial arts picture inspired by a legend, you'll have a lot more fun than if you go in expecting to see a faithful retelling of the man's life. As it stands, Universal's release is the only legitimate English subtitled version available. Solid A/V aside, it's definitely overpriced and under-speced, but if you want the film and you don't understand Mandarin it's currently your only option. Of course that could change in the near future, so I guess the decision whether to buy this disc or not is largely dependant on your desire to see the film.

OLPC Thailand/Ban Samkha
From OLPC
Welcome to Thailand's OLPC Activities
OLPC Thailand consists of three teams: policy, technology and learning teams. These teams are working closely together. The policy team, led by Dr. Djitt Laowattana, as an advisor to the Minister of ICT, works on the government support system and budgetary provision. Our key learning-team partner is the Lampang Province Non-Formal Education Department let by Dr.Suchin Phetcharak. Our key technology-team partner is the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, led by Sanya (hardware) and Kamthorn (software).
In September 2006, we stationed a localization team (i.e., Thai language implementation) in OLPC Office (One Cambridge Center) for one month. In December 2006, we received the first set of B1 machines. The technology and the learning team got together and plan for field experiments with our pilot school: Ban Samkha Village School. The learning team tested their ideas with B1 machines and provide feedback to both the local technology team and the OLPC office at One Cambridge Center, MA.
Once we received the B2 machines, we added the Thai Localization package into the machines and went off to our trial site in the north of Thailand. Ban Samkha Village School is a long-time participant of constructionism program of Suksapattana Foundation.
Initial trial at Ban Samkha
In March 2007 we went to Ban Samkha with twenty B2 test machines. Here are some records of our activities:

Demoulas cousins continue the battle
By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
Employees and others hold signs in support of Market Basket president Arthur T. Demoulas at a rally outside the Epping supermarket in July. UNION LEADER FILE
Market Basket drama rolls on
- The warring Demoulas family continues its battle over control of its $4 billion privately held Market Basket supermarket chain.
One side wants to maintain its business plan for the highly successful company with 22,000 employees and 71 stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire; the other wants $300 million in dividends to be distributed to the nine wealthy family shareholders and to establish a line of credit (the company is debt-free). It also wants its popular president fired.
Arthur T. Demoulas, president and CEO of the Demoulas Super Market (Market Basket) chain, filed a lawsuit Thursday, alleging his cousin stacked the company's board of directors so that $300 million could be distributed to the family's nine shareholders.
Until recently, he had the controlling majority of the board over his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas, whom he has battled for more than 20 years over the direction and management of the company.
Arthur S., his cousin contends, was behind the move to have him booted out as president. The move backfired, however, when hundreds of employees lined the streets of Andover, Mass., on the day of the board meeting in support of the popular company executive.
Arthur T. remains as president, but that might not be for long since the board voted recently to hire an executive search firm.
The next board meeting is slated for Thursday, Sept. 19, the same day a hearing is set for the lawsuit filed in Suffolk County Superior Court.
Arthur T. alleges in the lawsuit that Arthur S. handpicked a board member who, by court order, was supposed to be "disinterested and independent," to do his bidding.
The $4 billion company has no debt, according to the lawsuit. Arthur T. contends distributing $300 million, along with establishing a line of credit, could slow the company's growth and affect the employees' profit sharing plan.
The New Hampshire Union Leader was unable to reach attorney Thomas Fitzpatrick, who represents Arthur S. Demoulas' shareholders, for comment.
According to the lawsuit, a court order requires both sides of the Demoulas family to select two directors each to the seven-member board. The other three non-family directors must be "disinterested" and "independent" of the others.
"The carefully crafted balance, in place for 15 years, has let the company thrive," Arthur T. said in the lawsuit.
He contends his cousin violated that order by orchestrating the election of Keith O. Cowan, formerly one of the Arthur S. Demoulas' designated family directors on the board, to a position as a "disinterested" director. "Seeking to control another seat, the defendants simply rebranded him 'disinterested,'" and voted him on to one of the seats, said Arthur T.. Then, Arthur S. replaced Cowan as one of his family's directors on the board.
Cowan, current interim board chairman, was put on the board in August 2012.
Arthur T. contends Cowan is biased in favor of the Arthur S. Demoulas' shareholders and should not be allowed to remain as a "disinterested" director.
The lawsuit asks the court to set aside the board vote to distribute the $300 million until a ruling is issued concerning whether Cowan can remain as a director.The selection of Cowan, who resides in Georgia, was curious, Arthur T. said. Cowan is a lawyer unknown to anyone at Demoulas Super Market. He last worked for Sprint-Nextel where he earned about $3.4 million in compensation and other benefits.
He retired to take the grocery company's director's position, which pays $170,000 a year.
At the July 18 board meeting, Cowan was nominated by Arthur S. and was made "interim" chairman.
Cowan said then it was his belief that "it is incumbent on the board to help shareholders find the path to liquidity if that is the desire of the shareholders."
Cowan created a special committee tasked with evaluating the president's performance and recommending what action to take with respect to the future employment or removal of the president.
"Arthur S. Demoulas showed little doubt that with the board reconstituted, his vengeance was at hand," Arthur T. alleged in the lawsuit.
Arthur T. also said it was his cousin's shareholder group that fed the story to the media that it had filed for injunctive relief with the court.
The court documents included a copy of the agenda calling for his cousin's firing.
"Despite the fact that they were responsible for the publication of the board's agenda, and therefore the subsequent public backlash, at the July 18 board meeting, both Mr. Cowan and Arthur S. Demoulas, among others, suggested that DSM's management should have done more to prevent the public outcry which resulted from the publication of the item on the agenda labeled 'Motion for the removal of the President,'" the lawsuit said.
Market Basket employees turned out by the hundreds on July 18 to show their support for Arthur T.

Jefferson's Library Catalog and The Jefferson Bible
Exploring the house I share for the duration of my sabbatical, I came upon a thin tome in the living room: The Jefferson Bible [ISBN 0-8070-7702-X]. It caught my eye because Seth Becker, a friend of ours who is a book collector, had recently shown us a facsimile edition of this book and explained its origins. I started to read the preface, and therein found interesting fodder for our continuing attempt to bring order to information.
The origins of the collection of the Library of Congress is
Thomas Jefferson's Library, 6000 books which he offered for sale to the United
States for $23,999 in the aftermath of the burning of its predecessor in the
War of 1812. According to F. Forrester
Church, in his forward to The Jefferson
In light of the schismatic nature of current American
politics, it is somewhat reassuring to note that these same schisms were prominent
It might be inferred, from the character of the man who collected it, and
France, where the collection was made, that the library contained irreligious and immoral books… in languages that many cannot read, and most ought not.
Those pesky Frenchmen were apparently as disregardful of American sensibilities then as now. Nice to see that the verities of history endure. But I digress.
Jefferson's scheme of classification was built upon the processes of mind employed upon them:
(1) Memory, which is applied to factual data, such as "History"
(2) Reason… which is applied to theoretical investigations, such as "Philosophy"; and
(3) Imagination, which is applied to innocent pleasures, such as the "Fine Arts."
His departures from Bacon, if I read Church's analysis correctly, had to do with Jefferson's desire to secularize the catalog… to understand religious endeavor as subordinate to Reason, and indeed, The Jefferson Bible was his ambitious exercise in understanding the gospels themselves as a philosophical and moral system, rather than either the word of God or as a narrative of superstition.
He did so by the method of cut and paste – literally
razoring passages from four different renditions of the gospels, in Greek,
Latin, French, and English, and pasting them in a blank book. Jefferson's attempt was simply to identify
the words of Jesus himself, which he judged "as distinguishable as diamonds in
a dunghill", undistorted by the misinterpretations of others (which is what
postscript: There are many editions of The Jefferson Bible extant. I had some difficulty finding a link with the exact match of the ISBN I had in hand. The link in this post is as close as I could come (Beacon Press, 1989). In this case, the content that I found particularly interesting was the introduction by F. Forrester Church, son of the late Frank Church, Senator of Idaho, and the afterword by Jaroslav Pelikan. The historical context and analysis in these bookends to the actual text of Jefferson is quite interesting, and worth finding. In the preface, Church indicates that it was a custom since 1904 to give a copy of The Jefferson Bible to each new Senator.

My 5 week baby cries heavily while I am nursing him. He start being fussy after around 5-10 minutes of feeding. And the he screams and unlatches and then latches on again. When he is not latching any more I am trying to calm him down somehow. And he does that almost every time he feeds during day. At night everything is fine, but from the first morning feed he goes like that.
He also has got a mild case of lactose intolerance (his reducing sugar is 1%).
I am not drinking any milk from the day he was born so that is not the problem.
White noise and carrying him seems to be helping. But from white noise he falls asleep and then he doesn't feed any more - the same with carrying him.
So it all makes feeding him not so easy. And also I am worried if he is getting enough milk. Cause now he is actually nursing much shorter when you cut of the screaming.
What can I do to make nursing easier for both of us?

|Attending industry trade shows is a great way for inventors and other entrepreneurs to get 'the pulse' of an industry and network with industry professionals.
Additionally, you can evaluate whether exhibiting your products (based on your invention) at the show would be worthwhile to get wholesalers, retailers, and end customers interested in what you have to offer.
Here is our first trade show listing, the Professional Golfers' Association Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida that runs from January 26-29, 2011. The show started in 1954 with attendees including all of golf's top market leaders such as golf professionals, wholesalers, retailers, and regular golfers.
Additionally, there are nearly 1,000 golf vendors and brands exhibiting on the PGA Merchandise Show floor including golf companies of all sizes representing every business sector of golf from market leaders to start-up companies.
The Events Schedule for the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show includes golf industry leaders addressing key issues, educational seminars on golf, and professional networking.
I suggest that you Register to attend this year's PGA Merchandise Show and get a feel for what opportunities are there to showcase you golf invention next year. Plus, you are probably already an avid golfer who woild really enjoy the seminars and meeting golf professionals from the golfing industry.
If you want to be an exhibitor, there are two PGA Merchandise Show Exhibitor Packages available for your review (in PDF format you can save to your computer).
Note that while the website says that exhibitor registration is still open, it looks to be closed since the show is next week (call or e-mail them if you are interested in exhibiting). However, I believe you can register as a Golf Industry Professional – Non PGA and still attend the show, but not as an exhibitor.
PGA Merchandise Show hours are:
Exhibitors often give special offers at trade shows to entice potential customers to buy their products. Here are some examples of exclusive show specials for attending buyers among the new products introductions that exhibitors offer to buyers of golf products.
Here is a great Marketing Information Brochure (in PDF format you can save to your computer) that includes attending top golf buyers, golf equipment exhibitors, news media atendees, and golf industry demographic information.
It looks like a great opportunity for inventors of golf inventions to exhibit their goods to leading buyers from the golf industry.

Cancer-stricken Valerie Harper not saying good-bye
NEW YORK (AP) — She has incurable cancer, but Valerie Harper says she's not ready to say good-bye and she's keeping herself open to a miracle.
In her first TV interview since disclosing her diagnosis last week, the 1970s sitcom star tells the "Today" show's Savannah Guthrie that "'incurable' is a tough word." People "hear it as this death sentence," she explains.
But Harper insists she's "more than hopeful. I have an intention to live each moment fully."
"I'm not dying until I do," she says. "I promise I won't."
Harper, 73, has been diagnosed with a rare brain cancer and told she has as little as three months to live. She got the news less than two months ago during her book tour for her new memoir, "I, Rhoda."
Harper won fame playing Rhoda Morgenstern on TV's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its spinoff, "Rhoda." She won four Emmys in the role.
Harper says "it feels awful damn good to be open about (her illness), face it and see what you can do. If you die, you're not a failure. You're just somebody who had cancer, and that's the outcome."
In the meantime, she's telling herself to keep "your thoughts open to infinite possibility and keep yourself open to miracles."
The interview is scheduled to air on NBC's "Today" on Monday.
In addition, Harper is scheduled to appear on Monday's edition of the syndicated talk show "The Doctors."
