I used Avignon as a base for my 3 day visit to the Provence. A good choice, it's a bustling little city with several things to see and do.
The core zone of the WHS occupies just a small area in the north of the walled city. That's where the popes and bishops built their monuments. And there also lies the Bridge of Avignon, unrelated to the papal story as far as my knowledge goes. On an early morning I spent a few EUR to walk on it - not really spectacular though the included audio guide is good.
Another monument that I went into is the Petit Palais, a pretty former bishop's residence at the main square 'Place du Palais'. It's now a museum displaying late medieval French and Italian art. I liked it, though as one of the few visitors I was annoyingly being followed by the museum guards.
I did not get to enter the interior of the cathedral, as it was closed any time that I tried. The Popal Palace next door obviously draws all the visitors. As other reviewers have said: most of it is empty, it looks like an empty castle. It was built during a relatively short period, and size seemed to have been more important than style or exterior decoration. Nice views are to be had from the gardens, down some stairs from the main route.

I visited Avignon as part of a South France road trip. We drove that day early from Mont Pellier to Avignon and got there around 11:30 after our stop at Orange first. We spend the morning exploring the palace which is pretty empty so you finish it quickly. The bridge nearby is a nice walk and we went through the old streets and finally had some lunch after which we drove onwards. Probably Avignon would be a great place to spend the full day but we had a itinerary to keep so we went onwards.

Avignon had its heyday in the 14th Century, when it was the residence of seven popes and two anti-popes. The main sight is the Gothic Palais des Papes, actually a complex of two nested palaces built around two courtyards (the large Cour d'Honneur and the cloister). The exterior is austere and repellent. With its massive walls, the towers, the machicolation and embrasures the palace looks more like a fortress. Most of the interior rooms are very large, but as other reviewer mentioned they are largely empty. The few things that can be seen: the treasury with a secret-chamber under the floor, and of course the frescoes in the Papal apartments and in two small chapels. Unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures of the frescoes. The largest room in the palace is the dining hall, almost 50 meters in length (shows where the focus was at the papal court?). For me, the best part was the roof, with beautiful views of the Cathedral, the Place du Palais and the city center (the photo shows the view to the 'Tour de la Campagne' and the tower of the Cathedral). You can visit the palace on a self-guided tour, the audio guide was interesting and detailed (as almost everywhere on our tour to South France).
The adjacent Romanesque Cathedral, Notre-Dame des Doms d'Avignon, is older than the Palace, the interior is in Gothic and Baroque style (eg the Baroque gallery). Most striking is the golden statue of the Virgin Mary from the 19th Century at the top of the tower. There are only a few steps from the Cathedral to the Rocher des Doms, today a public park.
At the northern end of the Place du Palais is the Musée du Petite Palais, a collection of art of the Italian Renaissance and the Ecole d'Avignon (14th Century). A worthwhile supplement to the visit of the Palais des Papes, even for people like me who are less enthusiastic about art from this period. Also worth a look: the ornate façade of the Hotel de la Monnaie, just across from the Palais du Pape.
Another part of the WHS is the Pont Saint-Bénézet, or rather its remains: four arches, a gatehouse and the two-storey chapel. The bridge has no direct relation to the Avignon Papacy, but beautifully contributes to the panorama of Avignon which can best be admired from the Ile de la Barthelasse. You can ferry across the Rhône for free in a small boat, the landing stage is close to the bridge.
Avignon is a lively city with many bars and restaurants, ample entertainment in the evening. I liked best the atmosphere in the rue des Teinturiers, a cobbled street along a canal with some old water wheels. And a special tip: the Mon Bar in the rue Portail-Matheron, a typical French café and bar, the interior has the charm of the 1950s. There we had our first glass of red vine every evening.

I visited this WHS in May 2012. The Papal Palace and bridge are the highlights of this site, however getting lost in the narrow winding streets of Avignon was equally rewarding. The food was delicious and the wine divine.

The historic centre of Avignon, comprises the Cité des Papes and the bridge but also the Cathedral Notre Dame des Doms, the Jardin des Doms, the Petit Palais museum and the wall surrounding the historic centre of the town. They're all of interests but obviously, the pope's castle is the main thing to visit and offers a great testimony of the medieval french life. Give a look at the beautiful paintings on the ceiling of several rooms and enjoy walking on the Avignon old bridge that offers a great view of the Popes' castle.

In our trip to France we have visited the beautiful city of Avignon. In 1309 the Pope Clement V left Rome and moved to the Vaclause zone, where seven years later John XXII chose this town as his residence. In 1377 Gregory XI moved back to Rome and Avignon was the residence only of other two antipopes and some Apostolic Legates; in 1791 became part of France. On a big square, created with demolishing of part of the medieval town, is the huge Popes' Palace, a great Gothic building divided in two parts, the Old Palace of Benedict XII, that demolished the old episcopal palace where John XXII lived to built a new one, and the New Palace of Clement VI; the works for the 15165 sq. m. large building finished after twenty years of work. It has a starcaise (17th century) bringing to the gate of Champereux, that consists in two low modern towers (1932); there are are also two courts, one of which is 1800 sq. m. large and contains the remains of the Audience Chambre of the old episcopal palace, and some towers: de Trouillas (52 m high), of St. John, of St. Lawrence, des Anges, de la Gache, d'Angle, de la Campane. On the ground floor, in the Wing of the Great Dignitaries is the Great Audience Chamber, where convened the tribunal, that has two naves with big pillars and a fragment of fresco with prophets painted by Matteo Giovannetti. The Clementine Chapel, 52 m by 15 m and 19,5 m high, has a groin ogival vaulting, supported by a flying butress that spans the neighbouring street, and the original altar; the portal with nice statues is faced by the Window of the Indulgence from which the Pope gave the blessings to the crowd. In the sacristy, situated in the Tower of St. Lawrence, built under Innocent VI, is the gravestone of the tomb of Gregory VI. The Deer Room, that was the day room of Clement VI, has beautiful frescos by Giovannetti and his assistans with profane and rural scenes and of hunting. In the Pope's Room are frescos with floral motifs with trees, vines, birds and squirrels. The Tinel has barrel vaults, a nice fireplace and frescos by Giovannetti; near that are the Chamber of the Vestments, that contains four tapestries, and the chapel of St. Martial, with frescos by Giovannetti. In the Consistory Hall convened the assembly of the cardinals, foreign kings and legates and contains frescos by Simone Martini that were in the porch of the cathedral. The chapel of St. John has frescos by Giovannetti and the Camerlengo's Room has the original ceiling; near that is the Hall of Jesus and the Treasury. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame-des-Doms in Romanesque style (12th century) and his complex of episcopal buildings were replaced in the 15th and 17th century by the present building. The east tower was destroyed in 1405 during the siege of the town by the antipope Benedict XIII and reconstructed. The cloister was destructed because of the demolition and reconstruction in an enlarged form of the apse. The façade has a porch with classical columns and a gilt statue of the Virgin (1859). The building has a nave with lateral Gothic chapels, tribunes and a Romanesque dome and contains the episcopal chair, the tombs of John XXII and of Benedict XII, statues and the treasure. The Small Palace, built in the 14th century after the demolition of medieval houses as a cardinal's residence, acquired by John XXII to compensate the Bishop for the demolition of his palace to permit the construction of the Pope's Palace and reconstructed in the 14th and 15th centuries, has a nice room with frescos and a nice fireplace. The big gardens Rocher des Doms are situated on a high rock where begin the ramparts, built in the 14th century to defend the town and separate it from the river, strengthened and reconstructed also by Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, with a lot of towers, like the octagonal tower des Chiens (15th century) and the tower of Châtelet, that gives access to the famous Saint-Bénézet bridge. It was constructed on stone piers of a Roman bridge in the 13th century to replace a wooden bridge, destroyed in 1226 in a French siege during the Albigensian crusade, and to go over the river Rhone to Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and only 4 arches of 22 remain of it because it fell down after the opening of the vents in 1562. On the second pier is constructed the Romanesque chapel of St. Nicolas, with two floors and a polygonal apse constructed in the 15th century.
Avignone is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen because of its high degree of impresiveness and quality. It's absolutely worth to be visited and justifies the inscription also because of its historical importance, but I think that could be inscribed with the nearby second papal town of Villeneuve-lés-Avignon.

Avignon was a fantastic place, where we spent the best part of a week in late September, enjoying the city and travelling to the cluster of WHS within easy travelling distance of it.
The main sights here are in a cluster at the northern end of town. The main sight is Palace des Papes; despite being mostly empty I really enjoyed taking the audio tour around here. One year before I had visited the Vatican and it was great to be able to contrast the two, and basically see what the Vatican would have been like if it was built in a Gothic style. There is a wine tasting exhibit as you exit and I can thoroughly recommend this as it is a great and fairly cheap introduction to the wines of the Rhone region, there are very few places better to drink Château-Neuf-Du-Pape, than in le Château-Vieux-Du-Pape. A walk around the outside of the complex will reveal how massive the complex is. It will also take you to the great gardens, which offer fantastic views of the Rhone.
The Cathedral and Petit Palace are situated on the same square as the Palace, and are worth the time to explore. The other major part of the inscription lies just outside the city walls; this is the famous Pont St Benezet/ Pont de Avignon. This is half a bridge with a little chapel on it; I must admit we didn't pay to go on the bridge instead we preferred to view it for free from the banks of the Rhone. Just up stream from the bridge there is a free boat to take you back and forth to Ile de la Barthelesse, which offers the best view of the whole ensemble (picture), also great budget accommodation.
The rest of the city inside the impressive looking walls is a really lovely place to stroll around and lose yourself. The city seems to be chock full of bars and restaurants, the ones on Place d'Horlage cater mostly to tourists, however the charming rue des Teinturiers has some fantastic restaurants and a great atmosphere. I can give a huge personal recommendation to Wollomoooloo, which was one of the best dinning experinces i have had, the food at l'Orangerie on Place Jerusalem was also fantastic.
Avignon is a great place to base yourself for viewing Provence, including 3 other WHS. It has great transport connections with its brand new TGV station just out of town, with regular services to Paris, Lyon etc. and once a week to London!
We had a fantastic time here, and there is plenty to see and do. A very fine World Heritage Site.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is joining the list of tech companies trying to make their mark in the entertainment industry's original programming world. As most would agree, the company has generally followed the herd when it comes to trends -- it's never first to market and often puts out a product that struggles to gain traction. Will this be any different? One big element is the distribution model for the company's original web-based series is unique, delivered to a substantial existing user base of Microsoft device owners and Xbox Live members. While the model has its advantages, it raises plenty of questions, too.
The pitch
Microsoft has partnered with the right content creators to make its first slate of original programming appealing. The company has Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott on board for two series involving the extremely successful Halo franchise, in addition to comedy programming and special interest documentaries. Considering that Microsoft already knows exactly who will be viewing these shows (its nearly 50 million Xbox Live user base and, potentially, Surface-tablet users, among users of other devices), the content is spot-on. Those who have paid the $500 price tag for an Xbox One will likely watch the shows, and the potential for cross promotion and interactive services is tremendous.
What about non-existing customers, though? When Netflix got into the original programming business, its appeal to outside customers grew substantially. Switching costs among these hardware-less streaming services are next to nothing, and a $9 per month subscription is easily justifiable if you want to see Kevin Spacey be evil in Washington DC. The entry cost for Microsoft's original programming, in contrast, is gigantic.
The obvious one here is the Xbox One barrier to entry. If a non-current Microsoft customer is compelled by one of these shows, they have to pony up some serious change just to get the hardware to watch it. Sure, the device is an all-in-one entertainment center, but what if prospective customers don't need or want that?
Buying the Xbox One then gives you the privilege of signing up for a paying service: Xbox Live. The monthly fee here is favorable to Netflix's price, and Microsoft at times offers one year memberships for free with purchase of a new console, but still -- who wants to spend that much to watch a TV show? Especially when you can watch other, amazing TV shows for a fraction of the cost, it just seems that the company is shooting itself in the foot by limiting access.
Distributing the shows beyond the Microsoft ecosystem eliminates the beautiful synergies that management is likely salivating over, and perhaps the incremental revenue will be enough to justify the production costs. With 48 million people currently using Xbox Live, the company has enough existing members to get the shows out and achieve its goals. In the long-run, though, this is a company that very much needs to accomplish customer outreach missions. Microsoft is still yesterday's technology company, by many standards, even though it has plenty of industry-leading strong points. The company needs new customers and advocates to maintain (and hopefully reinvigorate) its relevance in today's tech landscape.

The photo albums made circa 1880-1910 in Great Britain often had colored pages, some with themes. This album had eight of these pages with florals. The backgrounds have an old look due to the "tea-stained" color. This page orange flowers, white & yellow lilies, and blue morning glories around the small opening. The opening is for a Carte-de-Visite (CDV) photograph. The opening is 2 1/4" x 3 1/2". The page measures 7 7/8" x 10 5/8". These pages make wonderful mats for framing vintage photos or modern day photographs. I have two of these. Both are in very good condition. You may purchase one or both. The price is for a single.

One of the religious scholars came up... he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?" Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."
Mark 12:28-31, from The Message
We at Foundry are called by God to deepen faith through transcendent worship and challenging study, to create engaged community through inclusion and caring, and to transform the world through active service and prophetic leadership.
In 1995, Foundry became one of the first larger United Methodist Churches to publicly affirm its commitment to the full inclusion of all persons when it joined the Reconciling Congregation Movement. Here is Foundry's Statement of Reconciliation: We, the friends and members of Foundry United Methodist Church, hold deeply our commitment to help bring about a peaceful, loving, just and accepting world. We are proud of our active, diverse congregation and have seen how each person has graced our community with his or her talents. We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in all. We acknowledge our oneness with all of God's creation and invite gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons to share our faith, our community life, and our ministries. We also affirm the same for all persons without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, economic status, or physical or mental condition.
We seek to be an inclusive congregation, and we proclaim our commitment to seek the reconciliation of all persons to God and to each other through Jesus Christ. As we journey toward reconciliation with all, we proclaim this statement of welcome to all, including our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters: God loves you and we love you, we affirm you, and accept you, we treasure you. We welcome you. At the same time, we recognize that there remain differences of opinion among us on issues relating to sexuality. We do not seek to erase our differences, but to journey together in faith toward greater understanding and mutual respect. In becoming a Reconciling Congregation we believe that we are being reconciled to God and to one another.
We believe in Jesus Christ. Everything we do begins with Christ. We remember how he ministered to the poor, fed the hungry, healed the sick, befriended sinners, welcomed the shunned and sacrificed himself to save us. He rose from the dead and gives us hope.
We honor humanity as well as divinity. We believe all people are children of God, and we treat them that way.
We serve God by serving others. We remember the second of Christ's greatest commandments is to love each other. We make personal commitments to working with people in our neighborhood and around the world.
We celebrate diversity. We make especially sure that people who feel excluded elsewhere are welcomed and invited to be an integral part of our congregation.
We worship joyfully. We sing and pray and study with passion and intellect and energy. We are an Easter people, and we are glad.
We welcome the hard work of prophecy. Our close proximity to power gives us the chance to speak for the powerless. We are mindful that prophets examine themselves closely before sharing their message with the world.
We believe our minds are great gifts from God. We are intellectually honest and curious. We view science, scholarship and other religious traditions as tools to discover the wonder of God's Word and creation.
We cherish God's gifts. God blesses us with time, talent, money, opportunity and the Earth we now call home. We strive to be responsible stewards of God's great bounty.

Recent events in Rhode Island, long reputed to be the seat of organized-crime activity in New England, have upstaged the long-running trial in Boston of alleged La Cosa Nostra leader Gennaro Angiulo, three of his brothers, and another alleged mob member. As the Angiulo trial slogged into its seventh month in US District Court here, regional attention was drawn to several Rhode Island developments involving: the reputed heir to the leadership of the Mafia in New England; the chief justice of the state's Supreme Court; the governor and state attorney general; and news media.
In Boston, federal prosecutors -- relying mostly on secretly taped conversations between the Angiulos and others -- continue to press their case on a score of charges, including murder, loan-sharking, gambling, and racketeering. Recent testimony has indicated that the Angiulos had access to law-enforcement and court personnel, enabling them to influence pending cases against mob members. The testimony indicates that a Boston police detective and a court clerk (recently deceased) may have been involved i n getting gambling charges against mob members dismissed.
Meanwhile, in Providence, R.I., the man who is reputed to have succeeded his father as boss of the Mafia in New England lost a court battle last week. But the ruling handed down Nov. 19 by US District Judge Francis J. Boyle seemed unlikely to affect the activities of Raymond J. Patriarca Jr.
The judge lifted a temporary restraining order he had issued barring the Providence Journal and other news media from publishing material from tapes recorded illegally by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the 1960s. Conversations recorded in the 1963-65 period implicated the late Raymond L. S. Patriarca in criminal activity. The senior Patriarca passed on in 1984, and the FBI alleges that his son, called ``Junior,'' succeeded him as the top boss of organized crime in the region.
Rhode Island Attorney General Arlene Violet pledged a year ago, shortly before taking office, that Junior Patriarca would be indicted within 12 months. At a recent breakfast meeting with reporters in Providence, Ms. Violet declined to disclose ``what we are or aren't doing relative to Mr. Patriarca.'' But the attorney general cited convictions obtained against a number of mobsters and reiterated that ``ridding Rhode Island of its image as an organized-crime state is a priority of my administration.''
Meanwhile Ms. Violet, Rhode Island Gov. Edward D. DiPrete, and state legislative leaders are seeking the ouster of State Supreme Court Chief Justice Joseph A. Bevilacqua because of his admitted association with allegedly mob-connected individuals.
The strange case of Chief Justice Bevilacqua began last June when he was censured by the Rhode Island Commission on Judicial Tenure after a six-month probe of ties to individuals with criminal records. The investigation resulted from newspaper reports that the chief justice socialized with a convicted felon and did business with reputed underworld members. He also was accused of meeting women at a motel owned by men whom authorities linked to drug smuggling and illegal gambling.
Although his conduct on the bench was not questioned, the chief justice agreed to take a four-month, unpaid leave of absence. On Nov. 1, the four months over, he reclaimed his seat on the Supreme Court bench. He has spurned demands by Governor DiPrete, Attorney General Violet, and others that he resign.
Now the state's highest court has to decide whether the Rhode Island General Assembly can remove the chief justice. In arguments before the court Nov. 25, lawyers representing the governor and the attorney general argued that the state supreme court judges serve ``at the whim of the legislature,'' which has the constitutional power to remove them at any time.
Bevilacqua's lawyer questioned the legislature's ability to vacate a justice's seat, arguing that recent changes in legislative procedure superseded that power. The Rhode Island Bar Association, the Civil Liberties Union, and the Sons of Italy also challenged the legislature's power to remove Justice Bevilacqua.
Bevilacqua, who has been chief justice since 1976, has not commented publicly on the controversy and has removed himself from court deliberations on the matter.
In the Patriarca controversy, material published by the Journal and WJAR-TV in Providence was based on tapes made by FBI agents between March 1963 and July 1965, when such ``bugging'' was illegal. (The statute empowering law-enforcement agencies to eavesdrop on suspects after obtaining a court order was enacted in 1969.)
Junior Patriarca was in his late teens when the illegal tapes were made. In seeking a court injunction against media publication of information from notes and typed transcripts based on those tapes, Patriarca's lawyer argued that publication would constitute a violation of his client's Fourth Amendment protection against illegal search and seizure, as well as his privacy. The material published by the Journal reflected conversations by the senior Patriarca about his son but contained nothing that would implicate Junior Patriarca in criminal activity.
In his ruling Nov. 19, Judge Boyle said his review of US Supreme Court decisions indicated the high court would decide the media could not be constitutionally prevented from reporting on the tapes.
The Providence Journal continued to publish excerpts from the illegally taped material in defiance of a temporary restraining order by Judge Boyle. Charles McC. Hauser, executive editor of the Journal, explained that the material was published specifically to challenge the judge's ruling. He cited the Journal's right to print based on the First Amendment.
Joseph V. Cavanagh Jr., attorney for WJAR, said the judge's ruling ``was a victory for the press, because it was a very serious question of whether this court would continue to restrain the publication of information which the press had lawfully obtained.''

About the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic
The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic is a charitable University of Edinburgh research facility focusing on a wide range of neurological conditions, especially neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurological diseases represent one of the major public health threats in the industrialised world. These diseases include multiple sclerosis (MS), motor neurone disease (MND or ALS), Parkinson's disease (PD) and movement disorders, cognitive disorders and dementias, brain haemorrhage after stroke, and Huntington's disease (HD).
We aim to improve patients' lives through research: translating laboratory findings into clinical trials and ultimately, new therapies.
In the welcoming environment of the Anne Rowling Clinic, we provide out-patient care for people with a neurological condition who have been referred by their GP or neurologist. All clinical activity is undertaken in partnership with the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Importantly, patients of the Anne Rowling Clinic have first-hand access to research projects and clinical trials, should they wish to participate.
Behind the patient–clinician interface, laboratory-based and clinical research underpins the activities of the Anne Rowling Clinic. The research targets the discovery of treatments that will slow progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The ultimate goal is to repair the damage—so-called Regenerative Neurology.
I cannot think of anything more important, or of more lasting value, than to help the university attract world-class minds in the field of neuroregeneration, to build on its long and illustrious history of medical research and, ultimately, to seek a cure for a very Scottish disease.
J.K. Rowling, Author and Founder of the Anne Rowling Clinic
The Clinic is a purpose-built facility on the site of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, alongside the University's medical school and the world-class research environments of the Centre for Neuroregeneration, MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine, MRC Centre for Inflammation Research, Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research, Centre for Neuroregeneration and Centre for Multiple Sclerosis Research.
All these Centres are part of the University's College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, which is internationally renowned as being exceptionally strong in research.

The Ocean: A Whole Lot of Heat
Unlike the atmosphere, the ocean can absorb and release an enormous amount of heat with little change in temperature. As such, the ocean has an enormous impact on Earth's climate, absorbing warmth from the atmosphere during summer and releasing it back during winter.
Ocean Conveyor Belt
Within the ocean, rivers of water of different temperatures and salinities move heat around the globe.
- As warm surface water moves from the tropics to the North Atlantic, it becomes saltier and denser as fresh water evaporates. In the far North Atlantic the water cools and sinks.
- The dense, deep water in the North Atlantic flows all the way to the Southern Ocean, where it is joined by cold water sinking around Antarctica. This deep, cold water spreads out through the Indian and Pacific basins.
- Cold, deep water slowly mixes in the Pacific and returns as a shallow, warm, less salty current to replace sinking waters in the North Atlantic.
- The ocean conveyor belt holds about 15 times the water flowing in all the world's rivers.
- The deep water mixes through the world's ocean in about 1,000 years.
Streams of Water
Fast-moving boundary currents move tremendous amounts of water and heat around the globe. For instance, the Gulf Stream, seen in this false-color image showing water temperatures, is more than 60 miles wide in many places, has an average depth of over 900 meters (about 3,000 feet) and moves as fast as 9 kilometers (nearly 6 miles) per hour.
A Calming Influence
Ocean waters absorb heat during the summer and release it during winter, reducing temperature differences between winter and summer and, in a similar way, between day and night. Away from the oceans, many landlocked areas, such as inland Siberia, experience seasonal temperature swings of over 55°C (about 100°F). By comparison, most of western Europe, which borders the ocean, has much milder winters and summers.

Due to a federal court order, people who do not want to be disturbed by telemarketer's calls can resume signing up for the government's do-not-call list. Consumers can register home or cell phone numbers with the free government service by visiting the Web site www.donotcall.gov or calling 1-888-382-1222, beginning Thursday at 8 a.m. EDT. Once you have your numbers listed, it might take up to three months before you seriously start to see a reduction in telemarketing calls. However, telemarketers calling listed numbers could face thousands of dollars in fines for each violation. The list is intended to block about 80 percent of telemarketing calls, with exemptions for charities, pollsters and calls on behalf of politicians. A company also may call people on the list if it recently has done business with them.
Anyways go to www.donotcall.gov and add your numbers and stop the evil telemarketers!!!!

I love to read. I love to read eyes.
I dream about deserts and mountains, motorcycles and mist.
I want to be a beautiful writer. I want to create masterpieces of oratory. I want to bring to walls crashing down. I want to make the grandfathers cry, laugh, and smile with their granddaughters. I want to stir people.
I want to unite people about what is good, what is right and what is gentle. I firmly believe the most potent displays of strength are shown through kindness and mercy. I believe admitting to mistakes is the only way to justify pride.
'Poets are the unacknowledged legislatures of the world.' I want to be a poet and a congressman at the same time. I want to mix art and government. I want to legislate beautifully.
'Artists lie to tell the truth about the world. Politicians lie to hide the truth about the world.'
I want to reverse the trend – I want to present truth to power. I want to speak truth to the world through political artistry. I want to commit political literature.
'I'm delighted by the failure of any one factor to account for the richness of reality.' I want to be perfect. I want to be a leader. I'm ambitious.
But simply – I'm resigned to an incomplete control over my own life. I rejoice in the randomness of it all. And I'm unwaveringly able to maintain a clear and steady focus towards absorbing every single moment.
I find smiles as beautiful as tears. I try to live like a child. I ask 'why' and 'how' about everything and everyone I don't fully understand. I won't get old, only older.
I find hunger painful – hunger for anything – food, love, riches. I'm incredibly frustrated by people whom have perfect faith in anything. I love the concept of belief – for example, I believe that people are inherently kind. I've never once given up on anybody.
I'm weakened by anti-intellectualism. I'm frightened that children are taught not to think. I find pop-culture a tool of positive change rather than a tool of oppression. Because something is popular does not create its seemingly inherent corruption – it is after all, the culmination of our human nature.
I believe that government is a place for people to come together – better than a supermarket or a country club – we must come together as a society in some form and because government protects us in a way more equal than any other – I choose it. I believe however, that it must be protected.
Democracies need gardeners – and I have all the time in the world to get dirt on my knees.
I love cameras – I love cell phones. I'm a technology junkie because I see technology as an expression and amplification of our humanity – not a dulling of our sociality, but an enhancement of our social strengths. I love the internet. I think communications technology will be the single most important factor in creating a more peaceful, equal and just world.
When I'm on the freeway – I get a sense of 'we are all in this together' rather then an angry frustration with those around me causing the traffic. The other day I heard some people say "What will they think of next?!"
I realized – that statement is the antithesis of the way I approach the world. For me, it's: "What will we think of next."
I'm firmly hopeful, it's in my nature.

You Have a Virtual Supermarket of Food Fragrances to Choose From
Vegetal, herb, and spice-inspired scents are very important note categories, often skipped or used as an afterthought. They're often found in scents marketed to men. We all know how xoVain feels about wearing "men's" scents — we do it with abandon! I myself still cannot get enough of Thierry Mugler Pure Coffee — I wear it and revel in it's rich caramel coffee ribbons garnished with a rosemary/juniper-esque sprig at the end like a daring cocktail.
I am never bored with fragrance. It's one of the easiest things to tweak if you have an essential oil collection. Playing with scents normally associated with food can add so much interest to your scent style, and they don't always have to be sweet or fruity.
Citrus and Vegetal Notes
Orange is but one of many citrus scents, but may just be the sweetest. Lemon has a cut to it, lime an herbal green undertone that isn't just color association. Bergamot is in nearly everything these days, with its bitter perfume an easy way to add some complexity.
To me, orange is an underdog that can add middle-bolstering sweetness to a DIY blend, or can clean the glue off of a countertop — literally. Use with care by diluting for topical use, but don't forget about the humble, juicy aroma of an orange peel when making custom scents or products. (Just dilute safely and keep away from sun.)
With vegetal scents, Demeter just goes there — that's why I love their single notes. Beetroot and Tomato at first smell strikingly similar, but that is just the feeling of a garden built into the fragrance overtaking you. Beetroot hits you in the gut chakra with grounding dirt and light sugar. It smells like you need to go buy some goat cheese and arugula and get your carotene munch on. Tomato is intriguing, I could imagine smelling it on someone who loves the outdoors. Gardening your own tomatoes and handling the resinous nightshade's stalks gives off a potent aroma that is almost long gone by the time the tomatoes get to the grocery store. A spicy green umami balance of savory and sickly sweet are spot on for the real plant and the fruit at the same time, and it's a memory inducer for me!
Herbal Notes
Herbs are so important to cooking. Sprinkling parsley on food isn't the simple garnish we make it out to be in America; the essential oils in the bitter leaves aid in digestion, making downing au gratins a-go-go NBD. Parsley as a scent reminds me of church and Passover Seders, which we did at the church I grew up attending. Dipping parsley into white vinegar makes me think of my shitty dad, and though this single-note from Demeter smells pretty dead-on like the scent of parsley (but surprisingly not the taste), I can't be mad at it.
Basil is one of the best smells in the entire world. It used to only remind me of Mama's sauce and garden, literally, but now it gives me so much cuisine in one sniff. Pho, Tiger Salad, Pizze e Napolitano all come rushing back. Demeter makes this as a one-note; the essential oil is a bit more bitter than this bright incarnation, which nails basil's licorice undertones without going too far into anise territory.
I also like to hit up essential oils for certain herbal notes, especially the mints like peppermint and wintergreen. Same goes for thyme and lemongrass; I use them as essential oils and scents interchangeably, getting both medicinal and cosmetic purposes out of the same little bottle. (Whether I'm going for NOW Solutions or a smaller indie brand, I use The Vitamin Shoppe to get my EOs.)
Spice Notes
Spices are present in so many scents, and whether you want the warmth and directness of cinnamon (another dillute-r) or the biting uniqueness of cardamom, spices culled from dried barks, berries, and sometimes seeds can be a great depth adder, a complement to herbs and their top action.
Pepper is the most obvious spice and lives up to its scent in this one drop, also from Demeter. It's got pepper as a single high note, it has the funk of true black pepper without the dusty earth of other types of pepper, so it's great for mixing.
Bringing it all together with scents isn't always so easy. With regard to the use of food oriented scents, many notes get buried amongst decidedly non-edible components.
A perfumer that I'm pretty into, Euphorium Brooklyn, makes some scents that work in the notes of some edibles without becoming sweet gourmand bombs. 100 Tweeds smells like an office, literally, but one of another time, and it's directly formulated to smell as such with a fictional backstory to boot. Lavender and spicy greens like oregano and peat mingle with tobacco and a distinctly fabric-like accord. Chocolatl is a much more scandalous experience. Like the perfumer's inspiration of a distant tropical upbringing, it's teetering on orgasmic incarnation of Mexican cocoa, vanilla, and spice. There's a hint of myrrh for a mystical apparition at the end. This stuff doesn't play!
Polo's special-edition scents are always a hit. I've always enjoyed them despite their male-marketed direction. Supreme Leather reads like the entrance of a humidor, ripe vanilla and soft unlit tobacco with hints of cardamom. The overall effect is really special, and it's extremely memorable.
And how could I leave out Lavanila's mastery of sweet vanilla, but with the tart lemon and sweet coconut twists to bring in a desert-like finish. Like limoncello and an amaretti served after dinner, these are delicate and soft and not foggy, sweet perfumes like the names suggest.
I like using both single notes and complex blends to treat my perfume wearing like cooking or formulating a cocktail. By calling on the powers of a unique spice or herb to lighten or deepen a scent idea, it becomes not only in my control but not able to be duplicated, sometimes even by me. It bears a Warholian attitude to scent, creating a mood as fleeting as time itself.

Written by Don Byrd
The EEOC announced a $30,000 settlement in a workplace discrimination suit brought on behalf of a Rastafarian man in Florida. HospitalityStaff, a staffing company, required Courtnay B. Joseph to cut his dreadlocks to meet their grooming standards, refusing a religious accommodation.
Citing Joseph's beliefs as a Rastafarian that dreadlocks are a required element of faith, the EEOC filed suit claiming the company violated his religious freedom rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC press release issued last week describes some of the terms of the settlement:
Under the decree, which was agreed to soon after EEOC filed its lawsuit, HospitalityStaff agreed to pay Joseph $30,000 in damages. The company will also amend its employee handbook and policy manual to include a clear policy providing for reasonable accommodations covering both disability and religious-based requests. Further, HospitalityStaff agreed to provide training to its managers and human resources personnel, and to voluntarily provide information to EEOC concerning its handling of religious discrimination complaints for three years.
Robert Weisberg, regional attorney for the EEOC's Miami District Office, added, "The Supreme Court's opinion in EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch reminds us that we must be vigilant in protecting sincere religious expression in the workplace. This is particularly important where the Commission has recognized 'the increasing complexity of employment relationships and structures, including temporary workers, staffing agencies, and independent contractor relationships' in an ever more on-demand economy."
Despite continued enforcement and clear guidance from the EEOC, some employers continue to put workers in the difficult position of having to choose between their faith and their livelihood. The law warns clearly against such behavior.
The most recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling about religious discrimination in the workplace, EEOC v. Abercrombie, was decided in 2015. For more on this important topic, see the Baptist Joint Committee's resource page on the Abercrombie case.

text: HOUSTON --Several families are left heartbroken right now, dealing with a pain that no parent wants to even think about. The family of 19-month-old Elizabeth Kajoh are remembering a life taken too soon as they wait for answers. This is one of those stories where you find it difficult to shield yourself from the emotion of what's occurred. Three children are dead, four injured and the parents of one of the deceased is asking why. When Betty Ukera picked up the phone at work Thursday, she says she heard a panicked voice on the line. "She just said, 'Get here quickly. My babies, my babies, they're dying. There was smoke everywhere, it was dark everywhere, I couldn't see. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to,'" Ukera said. Ukera's 19-month-old daughter, Elizabeth, was inside the home. When she arrived, it was chaos. She tells us she couldn't figure out what happened to her. "It felt like eternity. I don't know," said Ukera. She rushed to one hospital, then another, frantically looking for Elizabeth. Finally at Memorial Hermann Southwest, she got the news she feared. "They brought the clothes and sure enough, it was her clothes. Then I asked them, 'Is she alive?' And they said, 'Sorry, ma'am. We did all we could,'" said Ukera. "And I said, 'Is she alive?' and they said, 'No,' and everything changed." Elizabeth's parents want to know what happened there Thursday. "Was it preventable? When did it happen? We don't know," said Emmanuel Kajoh, Elizabeth's father. "Did she do her best? Did she see smoke, get terrified and run for her life?" said Ukera. They wonder how the fire started, if it was accidental and why no one got the children out sooner. Those parents though say even if this tragedy was preventable, they say they are not angry. That wouldn't bring their little girl back. "Anger is not what I feel right now -- Anguish. I feel a lot of pain," Ukera said. Two other children died in the fire, but only one has been identified by authorities -- 20-month-old Kendall Stradford of Katy. There are four young survivors recovering from injuries. Two are in critical condition at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Galveston with serious burns. Two more patients are being treated at Childrens Memorial Hermann Hospital where one is in critical condition and the other in good condition. The fire department says the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

I thought the "time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future" song was a Donald Byrd song. Nope. It's Steve Miller Band!
(Donald Byrd is awesome, tho.)
…into the future
Dozens of friends graduated this weekend. It was a great time seeing them, celebrating, connecting.
One friend asked for advice, which I gave, but I think my more concrete advice was to his younger brother: "Don't flip off the wrong person."
Which in more positive words is just, "Be kind."
You never know what will affect others
More than anything in the past year I've tried to be kinder. Not only to friends and family, but to myself, to strangers, to other people's creative endeavors. Even to the idea of a business. To corporations that should do more right by their workers, and to politicians I completely disagree with.
It's beyond the "Don't be evil" à la Google, and more about being more active in reaching out and expressing gratitude.
Not where I expected this post to go!
(But I'm going to publish anyway, like Bill O'Reilly did that one time.)
I don't know what I've done over the past year, but I do have concrete evidence of things I haven't done. Things I have done that I haven't yet shared. Like my impromptu trip to Guasti, California, inspired by a copy of Boom: A Journal of California found in the racks at Barnes & Noble.

Okay, okay! I've done things. Not all all the things, but I know this much: Things I have done and will do. Things I know and create, stories I've heard.
I want to share them with you.
And I want to hear your stories, see things you create. Beyond a +1, Facebook post, or RT, I want to move toward…
…a Solidarity in Life
My favorite parting with good friends as of late is: "Solidarity in life."
I like to say I was talking with someone, or asking "Can I talk with you?" as opposed to using "to." There are YouTube videos out there about how to leave a more optimum voicemail, or to have the best voicemail greeting. When I answer the phone I say, "Hi, this is Andy," to stem off confusion and the small amount of stress that comes from one voice trying to find another.
Hopefully there are enough transitions, segues, and words for you to connect what I'm thinking. I am hungry right now and about to take a shower. Yesterday I didn't write a poem for the first time in almost half a year. My refrigerator ought to be stocked and I'll make sure this time to remember the reusable bags.
Solidarity in life, reader.

Deciding that you're going to be against racism and hatred in Mid Sussex is a bit like deciding that you're in favour of large blocs of colour in the Rothko Room at the Tate Modern, and probably about as middle class. I haven't seen a person who wasn't white for about three days and the closest I'll get to real anger is taking someone's car parking space in Waitrose. Occasionally, someone gets angry at Pease Pottage services, but that's about it.
That said, I am against all forms of racism and xenophobia. That this needs saying is the product of the last few days, when I briefly gave way to absolute screaming hopelessness and wanted to be invisible in the eyes of my fascist country, lest I offend it. This was accompanied by the kind of intense and yet aimless anger that seizes you for days until it shakes itself jerkily to pieces for want of having an outlet and leaves you feeling spent and slightly foolish. That phase of becoming reconciled to the referendum result, for that's what this is about, seems to be over.
I still dislike Vote Leave supporters with a passion and will still block anyone who voted to leave the EU whenever I happen across them on Twitter. People say that you have to respect their views. Well, I don't. I think they're imbecilic and hateful, precisely because fascism is always imbecilic and hateful. In the same way that I wouldn't respect Hitler's decision to gas millions of people he thought were undesirable and strut around the place like a poltroon, I don't respect people who are essentially in the same camp. They're fascists, whether they're prepared to admit it or not.
Previously, though, I wanted to be quiet about this. I didn't want to draw attention to myself as being opposed to the simple-minded fascism of Vote Leave. And now, I realise, I have no choice. The people I respect who were in the German resistance to Hitler didn't bugger off to Switzerland at the first sign of trouble, for all that I would have done. They stayed, resisted and dissented as much as they could, and some of them even took the law into their own hands. This country isn't, yet, Hitler's Germany, for all that it is on the same road. So how can I call myself human if the danger is lesser and yet still I do nothing?
The answer is that I can't. If I saw a racist or xenophobic attack in front of me, I know that I'd have no choice but to intervene. To say otherwise would be like deciding to change my hair colour using only the power of my mind. I'm wearing a safety pin as I write this, knowing full well that it's a tacit admission of the fact I have been blind to the problems faced by people of colour and of different nationalities in the past. It is an imperfect gesture. However. Saying that I will intervene and wearing this safety pin are, right now, all I can do.
Other things will present themselves in time. An email has just arrived from a refugees' organisation that works in Calais. Someone on Twitter was gracious enough to send me the details of numerous anti-fascist organisations and I'll soon be checking out those as well. In my anger, said that I'd stop donating blood platelets. That was bollocks. I'll carry on donating because nobody deserves to die for my anger. I'll sign back on to the organ donation register and slowly start picking up all the other things I'd dropped, intemperately, because if there's one thing we need right now, it's kindness.
The Vote Leave haters can hate. They can abuse people on buses, they can sing vile songs about Poles and gay people and throw excrement at people's houses. I can't do this. Christ commanded me to love people, which I can do, albeit with all the imperfection that comes with being human. He didn't command me to hate people because they came from different countries or had a different coloured skin. Other people can do that. I have to love them and stand up for them, no matter if I'm in a minority. Every part of me tells me that I have to.
Which brings me back to the Mid Sussex question. There's not a huge call for these sentiments down here. Like being in Dad's Army, it's to be permanently patrolling the Novelty Rock Emporium in search of German parachutists who never arrive because they were never going to, or planning secret weapons that will never be built. It's substantially pointless. For all that, these are my values and these are my principles, even if I've spent the past week trying to deny them or fearfully squash them down out of sight. Mine is a shabby, imperfect kindness and if I do seem someone being confronted by someone with a heart full of hate, I'll be crapping myself, but I'll have to do what I can. It's all that I have.

Accuweigh supplied a custom wheel weighing solution to increase truck assembly efficiency at Iveco's Dandenong truck assembly plant in Victoria.
Designed for accuracy and convenience, Accuweigh's custom wheel weighing solution displays the weight on all wheels on a single control panel, eliminating the need for assembly staff to manually check the weight display on each individual wheel weigher.
Supplied by Accuweigh's Melbourne branch, the custom weighing solution comprises of eight individual wheel weighers, each connected to separate digital weight indicators.
Weight readings from each weight indicator are captured by a digital summing indicator to display the total vehicle weight and relay the weight readings to a PC for logging or quality control purposes.
All weighing electronics are mounted in a single control panel to allow assembly staff to readily identify the load on each wheel when truck components are being positioned to achieve optimum weight distribution and truck balance.
The wheel weigh pads measure 600mm x 600mm each with a weighing capacity of 5,000 kg. Larger weighing capacities are also available in the wheel weigh pads.
In addition to providing individual wheel weighers for custom wheel weighing solutions, Accuweigh can also supply fully inground wheel weighing systems for high accuracy weighing of vehicles sharing common wheelbase and axle positioning.
One of Australia's major industrial weighing equipment companies, Accuweigh operates a network of eight branches across all mainland states, providing sales and service support on wheel weighers, axle weighbridges as well as all types of industrial scales and weighing equipment.

IIS 5.0/Index Server Displays Directory Listings
SecuriTeam and @Stake Advisories have reported a potential problem with IIS 5.0 servers in which users might be able to trick Index Server into providing directory listings of files. Default IIS 5.0 installations exacerbate the issue by granting default permissions to the Index Server, which allows it to index the entire server. However, Index Server is not enabled by default, which limits the number of affected machines. The Microsoft article "IIS Search Method May Allow Unauthorized Users a Directory Listing of a Web Site" provides more information about this problem.

Brian Branigan and Allison Culbertson, the creators and former proprietors of the food truck Tortillaville, have embarked on a new mobile mechandising venture: Truck Shop.
The bright blue truck, which is a kind of gift shop on wheels, was parked this past Saturday and Sunday on Warren Street, at the top of the 400 block. Jewelry, mostly designed by Culbertson and some vintage pieces, photographs by Branigan, a variety of oils and emulsions, handmade bags, and other items were displayed for sale inside the truck.
Selling goods from a truck (or a cart) is a time-honored alternative to maintaining a brick-and-mortar shop and, it would seem, a shrewd one, given the high cost of rent for commercial space on Warren Street these days. Food trucks peacefully coexist with restaurants on Warren Street, offering a different dining experience from what's provided by restaurants, why shouldn't shops on wheels be able to coexist with traditional retail shops, offering a different shopping experience? That seems to be the thinking of Branigan and Culbertson, but will it be shared by the owners of the brick-and-mortar shops?
By coincidence this past weekend, perhaps making some abstrusely prescient statement about the future of retail stores, while Truck Shop was parked just up the block, Alexandra Dewez shared the news that Harvey's Counter "will soon no longer be a brick and mortar operation."

New Enterprise on Warren Street

In order to do it right, a mobile shop has to respect other businesses; have a city permit, not parked in front of another shop, or sell things that are similar to a shop nearby. Other than that a mobile shop such as Truck Shop can help broaden the appeal of Hudson, and bring more press and foot traffic for all. It could perhaps even become an money saving alternative for brick and mortar shop owners. It also allows shop owners to take slow winter months off. If that is of interest, we at www.hudsondesign.us will build out and paint any truck for anyone who is interested, even a brick and mortar - who might like to add a mobile unit.ReplyDelete

Do you know what is Acidosis and what it may lead to?
Let us start from what we eat...
→food digested and metabolized in our bodies
→food leaves residues after digestion
→residues combine with our body fluids
→become acid-forming or alkali-forming substances
→acid-forming and alkali-forming substances affect the acidity-alkalinity level (pH) of our body fluids
→Normally, the pH of our body fluids is slightly alkaline
→Acidosis is a state when the acid level of the body fluids or tissues is higher than normal
Acidosis can result in headaches, fatigue, unstable emotions, obesity, skin problems, osteoporosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and even cancers.
While we enjoy eating, we also want to be healthy. We should be careful of the kind of food we choose to eat. In order to maintain a healthy pH balance, we can eat approximately 80% alkali-forming food and 20% acid-forming food in our diet. Many of us do not even know that we are eating more acid-forming food than alkali-forming food every day!
"food pH love" provides a convenient reference of the acidity-alkalinity level of over 200 food items of vegetables, fruits, meats, nuts, grains, seafood, common drinks, herbs, cooking oils, etc.
Remember to carry "food pH love" with you every day!
Features of this application:
+For easier browsing, food items are arranged in two separated lists: by alphabetical order and by their pH values.
+Search results filtering function available to allow users to search for particular food by key words.
+My Food List function allowing users to input and store new food items and related pH values.
+Simple pictorial user guide to assist users on using the functions of this application.
+"food pH love" is an Universal Application designed for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Al Menconi 4-15
- Al Menconi
- 1999 14 Apr
A few months ago in this column I mentioned this principle and received a lot of positive response, with many requests to be more specific on how we should pray and what specifically should we pray for. Of course, I don't know your child or your situation, but I can offer a few specifics that all parents might want to include in their prayers.
You'll notice for the most part that the changes must begin with you.
We need to pray for wisdom for ourselves - so that we will know how to speak to them so they will listen. I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to "preach" to my daughters. I have lived longer, experienced more, and can foresee the problems they may experience, so why not preach? Because they are tired of being preached to, that's why. And besides, it doesn't seem to work.
It's so difficult to watch them do something that I'm sure they will regret. I love them so much that I want to make all their decisions for them. But I can't. If I did, they would never learn how to make decisions on their own. As you can tell, I need to continue to pray for wisdom so I will know what to say so they will listen.
While you are praying for wisdom for yourself, pray that your children will have wisdom to make proper choices. We can't make all their decisions for them, but we can pray that they will learn how to make wise decisions. Be sure to pray for patience so you don't go ballistic when they make immature choices. Remember who they are -- they're children. Normal children act like children and will often make immature choices. Can you handle it?
But be careful what you pray for, though. The Book of James reminds us that when we pray for wisdom and patience we will receive it through trial and tribulations. Have you ever viewed your child's troubling experiences as an answer to your prayer? Ouch!
Pray for love and understanding. No matter how much you disagree, your children should know that you love and accept them just as they are. This is more difficult than it sounds. Children often confuse your dislike for their music as a dislike for them!
Remember that kids often identify who they are by their music, so when you "rag" on their music, they feel that you are "ragging" on them. Rag on their music if you must, but make certain they understand that your dislike of their music is not a dislike of who they are as a person.
Don't forget the understanding part of "love and understanding." Is your mind made up before you start the conversation? Are you willing to listen? Will you give them a fair shot, or will you shoot down everything that they say before they say it? Do you have a listening heart? Are you genuinely interested or are you merely doing your duty as a parent? They know the difference.
Finally, pray for self-control so you won't resort to nagging, badgering, threatening, or clobbering when things aren't going your way. Losing your cool can ruin everything.
As you can see, praying for your children often involves making a lot of changes on your part. Are you ready? Start praying for your children, and I promise, you'll never be the same again.

A New Book About David Bohm and Jiddu Krishnamurti's Collaboration
David Moody has released the book An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti. This book is currently available on Amazon.
For more than two decades, renowned theoretical physicist David Bohm engaged in a close collaboration with psychological philosopher J. Krishnamurti. The two men participated together in 144 recorded dialogues and many unrecorded conversations, and the transcripts of their discussions appear in several published volumes. Their mutual interests encompassed the whole of human consciousness, its nature and structure, and the sources of illusion and conflict in the individual and in society. An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti describes the course of their relationship from beginning to end, including the substance of their dialogues as well as the uneven quality of their personal interactions. Author David Edmund Moody worked with both men for more than a decade, and his observations of them inform and supplement his description of their relationship. Bohm's background as a physicist was characterized by his close associations with Oppenheimer and Einstein, his revolutionary contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics, and his clash with the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities, an event which ultimately deprived him of his American citizenship. Krishnamurti's background was notable for his break with the Theosophical Society, which had nurtured him as a youth and hailed him as the World Teacher. He developed his own independent philosophy, one which offered penetrating insights into the human condition and emphasized freedom from all authority in psychological and religious matters. An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti describes the life stories of the two men individually as well as the nature and quality of their relationship. The book concludes with a critical assessment of each man's contribution to the work they were engaged in, their mutual accomplishments, and the issues that remain unresolved. Moody's work with Bohm featured several recorded dialogues that examined Bohm's views on Krishnamurti's philosophy and his personality. Complete transcripts of these conversations provide a rich, illuminating supplement to the text.
Important Recent Developments
Physics World, New Scientist, and others have reported on the recent experiment titled Experimental nonlocal and surreal Bohmian trajectories.
"It is a new way of looking at quantum non-locality, which vindicates the Bohm position." – Basil Hiley

What Prevents Us From Thinking Together
Thad Roberts on Bohm's Work in Physics
The theoretical physicist Thad Roberts wrote an interesting reply to the question on Quora of Why don't more physicists subscribe to pilot wave theory?
Physicists today remain largely unaware of the fact that quantum mechanics is perfectly choreographed by the mathematics of the de Broglie-Bohm theory, otherwise known as Bohmian mechanics. Despite the fact that Bohm's formalism is entirely deterministic, and less vague than the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, so far it has only been widely recognized and embraced among philosophers of physics.There are several historical events, or "unfortunate accidents," that have led to the present ignorance of the superior mathematical clarity Bohm's formalism offers. Understanding this historical posture goes a long way towards explaining why the orthodox or "standard" interpretation of quantum mechanics is still held by the majority of physicists today—something that I would argue is one of the greatest intellectual tragedies of our time.
In his reply his also links to a lecture by Mike Towler on the pilot wave theory that our readers may also find interesting.
On Chris Dewdney
We have added a page to our website about Dr. Chris Dewdney, physicist, as he was essential to the development of the Causal Interpretation and his other work is very relevant as well.
A Quick Message to the Community
We now have 7 members on the forums, and 100 followers on Twitter at @bohmsociety. This is important. Most communities like ours start small. To carry the proposals made by David Bohm we need people like you and I who are interested enough in all of this. If we can't bring some of these proposals to life who else will? We need all the help and support we can get so do considering joining on us these attempts.

James 1:5–8
From the Confessions: The Defense of the Augsburg Confession
Concerning the Invocation of Saints
Since prayer ought to be made from faith, how do we know that God approves of this invocation? How do we know that the saints perceive each other's prayers unless there is the testimony of Scripture?
Pulling It Together
One cannot invoke the saints of heaven with confident faith because the practice is based on human tradition instead of Scripture. It is based on the word of man, not upon the Word of God. Without real faith, that which is based on "what is written" (1 Cor 4:6), one may not expect to receive any answer to prayer.
Now people may claim that they have no doubt as to whether they are heard by the saints of heaven. That does not change the fact that the invocation of saints has no assurances from the Word. How can one really believe unless the Lord has established the matter in Scripture? Upon what do they base their trust? On whom do they place such confidence? The Lutherans confess sola Scriptura, that our trust only comes from "what is written" in the Scriptures, that our faith as well as our practice must stand or fall on the Word.
Prayer: Thank you for hearing my prayers, Father. Amen.

Whistleblower Policy
Bluffton University requires its trustees, administrators, faculty, staff and students to observe a high standard of personal, business and academic ethics. In protecting high ethical standards, all personnel associated with Bluffton University must act with honesty and integrity in carrying out their duties and responsibilities to ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Reporting responsibility
It is the responsibility of all trustees, administrators, faculty, staff and students to report illegal, dishonest and/or fraudulent activity ( Misconduct ) in accordance with this Whistleblower Policy.
No retaliation
No trustee, administrator, faculty, staff or student who in good faith reports misconduct shall suffer harassment, retaliation or adverse employment consequence. An employee who retaliates against someone who has reported misconduct in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. This Whistleblower Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees and others to raise serious concerns within the university prior to seeking resolution outside the university.
Reporting violations
An employee who has a question about the propriety of any practice under university policies or procedures should share their questions, concerns, suggestions or complaints with someone who can address them properly. In most cases, an employee s supervisor is in the best position to address an area of concern. However, if you are not comfortable speaking with your supervisor or you are not satisfied with your supervisor s response, you are encouraged to speak with the director of human resources or anyone in management whom you are comfortable in approaching. Supervisors and managers are required to report suspected misconduct to the director of human resources, who has specific and exclusive responsibility to investigate all reported violations. If the complaint concerns the director of human resources, the complaint should be brought to the vice president for fiscal affairs.
Director of human resources
The university s director of human resources is responsible for investigating and resolving all reported complaints and allegations concerning misconduct and, at their discretion, shall advise the vice president for fiscal affairs. The director of human resources has direct access to the vice president for fiscal affairs who will report to the audit committee at least annually on compliance activity.
Accounting and auditing matters
The audit committee of the board of trustees shall address all reported concerns or complaints regarding corporate accounting practices, internal controls or auditing. The director of human resources shall immediately notify the vice president for fiscal affairs of any such complaint and work with the vice president for fiscal affairs until the matter is resolved.
Acting in good faith
Anyone filing a complaint concerning misconduct or suspected misconduct must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates misconduct. Any allegations that prove not to be substantiated and which prove to have been made maliciously or knowingly to be false will be viewed as a serious discipline issue subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment.
Misconduct or suspected misconduct may be submitted on a confidential basis by the complainant or may be submitted anonymously. Reports of misconduct or suspected misconduct will be kept confidential to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an adequate investigation.
Handling of reported misconduct
The director of human resources will notify the sender and acknowledge receipt of the reported misconduct or suspected misconduct, if possible, within five business days. All reports will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted by the investigation.
