For all of the somanaunts, neuronauts, neuroleaders and seekers of yogic meditation, an auspicious holiday message shared by the unsung poet laureate of the yoga community: YogaDawg, author of My Third Eye Itches:
It happened in a Saturday morning yoga class. Exhausted from preparations for the holidays, the yogi was looking forward to a yoga session. During a particular pose, the yogi closed his eyes, felt a calm awareness and was surprised to find he was perfectly aligned. That had never happened before as he was a novice at yoga.
As he continued to hold the pose, the students around him smiled as they admired its perfect alignment. The teacher stopped teaching the class to study the pose and called other yogis into the studio to show it to them. As word spread, yogis from other studios gathered around to admire it also. All seemed to agree that they had never seen a pose done with such poise.
Those studying the pose became more flexible, felt happier; more alive. Wrinkles disappeared; digestion improved; aches and pains were relieved while glass jaws, rope burns, paper cuts, blackheads, spring fever, homesickness, halitosis, corns, bunions, warts, the heebie-jeebies, shyness, unexplained weeping, in-grown toenails and gunshot wounds were all mysteriously cured.
As word of the pose passed from yogi to yogi, it became the number one discussion on yoga blogs and websites. Photos of the pose were scanned, faxed, emailed, made into posters and appeared on billboards. It was featured on the six o'clock news. The pose made the cover of Yoga Journal and the magazine renamed itself, "The Pose", shortly thereafter. Famous yoga stars started making yoga videos, writing yoga books and offering yoga workshops about the pose. The pose began to be referred to as "The Pose".
Novelists incorporated The Pose into their books. A famous author penned a pivotal work titled "The Perfect Pose" which went on to become the best selling novel of all time. The novel was made into a movie; the movie was adapted to a one act play; the play was made into a musical which gave way to a major opera called "La Pose". This made the Italians very happy. Consequently, ancient yoga texts were rewritten to include The Pose. Yoga scholars discussed it in new commentaries on said ancient texts and new scholarly works were written about it.
The Pose enabled people to sleep peacefully through the night (without snoring), charm cobras, leap buildings in a single bound, acquire untold wealth and speak fluent Sanskrit and Swahili. They also gained the ability to compose complex jazz melodies while walking in the park.
The Pose went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for physics, a Heisman Trophy, an Oscar for best supporting actress and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by the President of the United States. A small pacific island nation changed its name to the Island of Pose, (Subsequently becoming the most prosperous nation on the face of the earth by offering workshops and conferences to teach The Pose to yogis around the world).
Endangered species began to reproduce rapidly, rescuing them from extinction. The lamb lay next to the lion and leprechauns were seen riding on unicorns. The sun always shined; the plants were always watered; the dog was always walked; the hole is the ozone was closed.
All creatures on the earth sang along to the Music of the Spheres; Gabriel blew his horn and the Sirens chanted hallelujah! Energy became unlimited and non-polluting; the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse got off their horses to practice The Pose…and…
As the yogi opened his eyes and came out of the pose, he remarked to himself, "I sure wish I was better at this yoga stuff…"
May the Breath Be With You!

Mindshare 2008 Wrap Up
The Platform: The New Idea Lab: The Urban Pod
The Twitter: Cat Naps are back in!
The Big Idea: Deep rest influences creative synthesis of ideas!
Remember kindergarten "quiet time"? — Those rows of squeaky cots, the whispering, the agony of waiting out time until we could get up to play!? Well leave it to science and inventive high tech ingenuity to tap the wisdom of childhood: Napping Pods!
Today high tech napping pods are on the market. Recently reviewed in Wired Magazine and the subject of Google buzz, these "metro" pods are said to promote brain rest with musical and other aids to encourage a neural shift into "quiet time."
From the standpoint of neural rest, I love it when science reinforces a childhood and an ancient wisdom, in this case, one that has long been recognized by the creative, the somatic and the psychological communities, namely: Incubation leads to creation! Yes, providing an appropriate break for neural rest during intense think-tanking allows our brain to rest in order to digest the onslaught of ideas, feelings and intuitions. Nap pods, in other words, mimic the "rest and digest" processes of our parasympathetic nervous system – the system that allow our bodies to restore energy that we've depleted with activity between meals.
The more we learn about the role of parasympathetic nervous system in brain/mind/body functioning, the more we understand why cognitive scientists would target sleep to understand how the brain replenishes itself during naps. And the more we learn about the role of sleep and neural rest in creativity, the more we can appreciate why artists and writers naturally choose to include aimless doodling into their studio practice or why business coaches and psychotherapists advocate relaxation to counter creative blocks, or why leading yoga teachers insist on incorporating savasana ("corpse pose") and even yoga nidra ("waking sleep") into one's daily yoga practice.
So whether you're brain-storming a new idea, preparing creative strategies for a race, improving "your game" or opening the channels of artistic practice, consider all of the possibilities, both high and low tech for catching some zzzzzzssss!

Well the summer solstice is here bringing with it much news from the neuroscience sector. 2008 is truly proving to be the Year of the Brain!!!!
In case you haven't noticed, more brain empowerment and anti-aging gizmos and gadgets are entering the internet market designed to increase neuroplasticity. (Look for my upcoming blogs on sharpbrains.com and on the recent UCLA conference on anti-aging and regenerative medicine!)
Yet the more compelling story is the heightened critical mass awareness of brain function and brain injury made possible by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's TED talk (see my coverage of Bolte Taylor's talk and the generous comments to issue forth since I reported on Taylor's TED presentation — February and March archives of this blog.).
I am emboldened by the fact that Dr. Taylor's talk has reached numbers of people whose lives have been challenged by stroke and other traumatic brain injuries. Much to my surprise however, is the way Taylor's talk has inspired others to come forward with stories of spiritual enlightenment. To those of you who have generously shared your thoughts and stories vis a vis Taylor's life story, thank you. I will continue to use this blog as a vehicle for bringing the most up to date news and links to info concerning all things "brainy' and brain-related.
For those have not seen Jill Bolte Taylor's TED presentation, simple go to
http://www.ted.com and search for Jill Bolte Taylor talk
or copy the link below and place it in your url searchbox
With the issue of stroke in mind, readers please consider the critical implications a new bill recently introduced into Congress for immediate consideration, namely, the National Neurotechnology Initiative Act.
The NNTI is a $200M/year initiative designed to foster new discoveries and accelerate the development of new and safer treatments for the one in three Americans living with a brain-related illness, injury or disease. Championing the NNTI are Senators Pete V. Domenici (R-NM) and Patty Murray (D-WA) and Representatives Patrick J. Kennedy (D-RI 1st) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL 18th) who have called upon Congress to act quickly on this important legislation.
According to the NNIT Act website, this legislation will accelerate the development of treatments for Alzheimer's disease, autism, addiction, ALS, anxiety, depressive disorders, epilepsy, hearing loss, migraine, multiple sclerosis, obesity, pain, Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, age-related macular degeneration, sensory disorders, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury and many orphan diseases of the brain and nervous system.
One can only image the medical advancements to benefit from the passing of the bill. And in during this savage war-time, with scores of American troops returning home with traumatic brain injury and PTSD, enlightened legislation promises to up the ante on neurological research and application. Think of Bolte Taylor's talk and take action!!
A neurotech advocacy group – http://www.neurotechindustry.org –– has provided sample letters to use to write to Congress men and women in your districts and states, asking them to approve the bill. PLEASE CLICK ON THIS WEBSITE FOR LETTERS AND ACCESS TO YOUR CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN!
More to come on brain matters.
In the meantime, may the long days of summer ahead provide you with a chance to take time out to nourish, empower and embody brain!
Whether you're thinking future spring season fashion or sports, Taiwanese researchers have taken baseball caps to a new level of design. The story below explains the "science of mind" whereby the wireless and portable cap can detect EEG signals and send feedback in real time.
Imagine the biofeedback possibilities in schools world wide, when teachers tell students to put on their "thinking caps!!!"
Wonders never cease in the Year of the Brain!
Search for: A baseball cap that reads your mind
"It looks like an ordinary baseball cap. But when you put it on, the cap detects and analyzes the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from your brain. It can even tell you if you're getting too sleepy when driving based on your brain wave patterns. Similar technology could also allow you to control home electronics such as TVs, computers, and air conditioners, all by just thinking about them."
Well, May has rolled into town. The jacarandas are turning Los Angeles into a "purple haze" and the star jasmine buds send wafting scents of Pacific Rim sweetness into the air.
As seasons change, so does the discussion regarding neuroscience and its far reaching affects visual art, literature and religion. As all of the authors suggest, one gets the feeling that we're clearly in the midst of revolution, with Frankensteinian fantasies that loom large. For your pleasure and curiosity, an article and books of note:
1. Today the New York Times ran an online article by David Brooks entitled "The Neural Buddhists." Brooks ponders the limits of a materialist perspective held by 20th century scientists in light of the cognitive, existential and religious implications of neuro-plasticity. His claim? The debate between science and religion is moved into the non-reductivist territory of "neural-mysticism." (Sadly, here again we see mysticism used as the over-arching frame for Buddhist practice — which by the way is recognized as a religious practice throughout Asian countries.)
See: OPINION | May 13, 2008
Op-Ed Columnist: The Neural Buddhists
By DAVID BROOKS
The cognitive revolution is not going to undermine faith in God it's going to challenge faith in the Bible.
2. Art historian Barbara Marie Stafford has published her thoughts on neuroscience and art history in her latest book ECHO OBJECTS, a frothy, in depth study of art history from a neuro-aesthetic perspective. Stafford, influenced by my colleague Warren Neidich, takes his "brain makes culture, culture makes the brain" thesis and translates its implications into a claim for the reciprocal alignment between neuroscience and the humanities.
3. SEED Magazine editor in chief Jonah Lehrer takes on the art and humanities, especially the "lit crit" crowd in his first book PROUST WAS A NEUROSCIENTIST. Lehrer, trained in neuroscience and literature, joins critical thinker Brian Massumi to claim we don't need to know neuroscience to make or understand the mysteries of art but we sure can learn some fascinating stuff about the brain if we do so! I depart from Leher and Massumi as I've found, by sharing neuroscience insights with art students regarding the relations between the visual and soma-sensory cortex), light-bulbs of thinking brighten… and new perspectives about 2-d and 3-d media come about.
The question of how we study neuroscience and to what end remains before us: In an age that celebrates the autodidact and the social networking of learning, surely a little look under the hood of our own "minds" couldn't hurt.
As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Frankenstein, feel free to enter and teach us what you've found!
May the Breath and the Creative Brain be with You!
Dr. G.
Good Morning all, the glow of TED still emanates from every neural spark, cell and pore — this post begins with a deep exhale and a memory image, one that I hope will stir conversation amongst those who were at TED and those who watch and listen from afar:
TED models the future of whole-brain learning and doing, and with the addition of music and breathing practice, TED included whole-body learning and doing as well! How brilliant to mediate lectures on particle physics and global warming with hemispheric "time-outs" e.g., the wacky and wonderful Sxip Shirey interludes that at one point, reminded us of our primate origins (which the Kid's Collective ribbed in classic SNL style! And placing Nellie McKay in the same session as the esteemed Al Gore, showed us activism draws on multiple sources of intelligence and manifests in many forms!!!
For those of us in education — what ever milieu — the medium is the message!
2008 is the Year of the Brain http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/neurok.html
2007 may have been a tough one for the global climate, global unrest and global media but whew!… What a year for the global (and local) Brain! With the news of "neuroplasticity" to hit the radio, newspapers and book-stores (it's already all over the WEB), somatic arts and science will never be the same.
With this in mind, I am dedicating this year of SpaceSuit Yoga blogs to sharing all that continues to come my way from the expanded fields of neuroscience and neuro-aesthetics. The first is a highly suggested reading that dovetails Sharon Begley's TRAIN YOUR MIND, CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, namely THE BODY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, by Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee. Some of you may remember S. Blakeslee's co-authoring Ramachandran's 1998 tour guide through the brain. Her new book, written with her son, covers the breadth of neuroscientific research that brings somatics, mythopoetics and the psycho-physiology of human transformation up to date.
In months to come, I will elaborate on these issues and invite colleagues to join me expanding the ways in which we can relate these ideas to real time, creative thinking and action.
For time being, a SSY train your brain/mind tip for faking out the stress of New Year's resolutions:
1. Don't make any.
2. Instead, sit down for 5 to 20 minutes, close your eyes and tune inside to your physical, sensual experience of breathing.
3. Next, picture the action, the vitality of performing the goal you have in mind. Picture yourself accomplishing your goal.
4. Continue to be physically "present" with breathing and continue imagining the action you wish to perform.
5. Take one large deep breath, let it out. When you feel ready, open your eyes and go about the business of your day.
This process of contemplation or mental practice is reinforced through repeated practice. For more info, check out the suggested readings or write me at email@example.com
A Happy and Healthy New Year To All!

This might sound a little weird for some but yes it is true, cabbage can also be used to make payasams. When we were invited for lunch at our cousins place, the desert was served and she asked me to guess what it was. I couldn't tell but it tasted too good. When she revealed the secret I was very surprised. I tried the same trick to many of my guests and none of them could get it right. It is really worth the effort. Take it from me :-).
Cabbage-1/4 kg
Milk-1 1/2 litre
Condensed milk-100ml
Chop the cabbage and wash it with lukewarm water(3-4 times) until it loses its smell. Squeeze the water out and saute it in the ghee for about 5-10 mins. Keep it aside.
Now boil the milk in a thick bottomed vessel until it reduces to 3/4 the quantity. Add the cabbage and cook on slow flame till it is soft. Now add the condensed milk, mix well and cook for 10 mins. When it is slightly thick, add the cardamom powder and cook for 5 mins. You can serve it hot or cold(refrigerated) but it tastes good when it is cold.
Note: You can garnish with nuts & raisins. You can use sugar instead of condensed milk.
My fellow blogger Swarna has shared this award with me. Thank you.

A Flash game that I designed in my second year of graduate school. I'm not sure where this idea came from, but the goal was to design something that a younger child could play. And I think I was revisiting an interest in astronomy at the time. The song was also a factor— Norah Jones had just made it big, and it was fun to use one of her songs. So sometimes projects came out of odd combinations of things…
Note: Do not click on the "back to games" link in the game; this went to a menu of games done by the whole class, but does not work in this archived version.
Play game.

The Road To Shangri La..
I shall try to populate sections of it, appropriately, as time permits. And if I can remember/find the photos.
In the meantime, here is a story in pictures of Ayesha's and my journey towards the highest peak.
Luckily, something I had posted in another forum way back was backed up on my hd. You might have seen some of these photos before. Our Apologies for that.
We have been to Nepal many times. At different times, seasons and to different parts. And experienced
different mountain ranges. Different people. Different religions. Different languages.
In all our journeys to Nepal, one thing has stood out for us both. No, not the grandeur of their landscapes or the majestic peaks of their mountain ranges.
The People. The people of Nepal are one of the noblest, friendliest, kind and courageous folk that we
have had the honor to meet. They might have less in terms of material possessions. Their hearts are made of gold. Their friendliness is timeless and their courage far greater than their highest mountain peaks.
Our Salute and sincerest thanks go to them for inviting us into their land and into their homes.
So here in words and pictures ( and in parts ) is the story:
The Road to Shangri La.
Looking forward!

The Road to Shangri-La #1
The Road to Shangri-La #1
You are easily better than 6200 mts, said Fahim.
Fahim was referring to a climb of ours in Nepal. Mt. Denali, in North America , is 6200 mts. high, from sea-level.
Never without you Fahim, I said. Remembering what had transpired on those desolate mountain tops.
We were looking at some tv interviews and newspaper cuttings of my climb in the Himalyas.
Hi, my name is Ayesha. I am a Saudi woman. And proud to be one. A grandmother of four, and a novice photographer. And this is my story.
I have been married to Fahim for more than 37 years. We have had our successes and our failures. We have always had them together.
Now, I wanted to climb as high as I could of the 8848 meters from base to summit...
towards Sagarmata in the Himalyas. Known to outsiders as the Everest.
Fahim and I had discussed it. He said he would support me all the way; as long as my endeavors remained within the parameters of our religion and our Saudi traditions and customs.
I trained and prepared for it, in the French/Swiss/Italian Alps for months. In the Nordic and Canadian North. I walked in the heat of our desert, and lived and trekked in the cold of the Arctic.
Why? Because it is never too late.
Why? Because it is there.
Why? Because I am alive.
Why? Because a gauntlet had been thrown.
Why? Because I, a grandmother, picked up that gauntlet.
Why? Because I wanted to meet my fears..face to face.
Why? Because through these mountains lay the way to Shangri-La.
I was ready, the flight to Kathmundu was booked. It was time start on my way to meet the Guardians..The Guardians of Sagarmata, the Guardians of Shangri-La.

The Road To Shangri-La..#2.1
The Road To Shangri-La..#2.1
You must have read James Hilton. Good!
What has that got to do with ' The Road to Shangri-La '?
A lot actually. His Shangri-La existed in his imagination. I went searching for it. Have I searched everywherw? No. I shall visit Tibet and China soon to continue
my search. I believe it shall be an ongoing journey!
This, however, is the story of one such journey of mine. This is the way I started my search for Shangri-La, this is the way I experienced the trials to find Shangri-La, this is the way I came in touch with the Guardians of one Shangri-La.
This is a true story. Not a work of fiction.
So, my friends, welcome on the road to Shangri-La.
What, no lofty snow capped mountain peaks? No lakes? No pristine glaciers?
I have spent much more time down here, on the ground in Nepal, than up in their mountains.
Fahim has always insisted, that to chase a legend, one has to understand that which created it in the first instance. Shangri-La, if it exists , is in the mind. Find out the beliefs of those that hold Shangri-La dear. You shall have found out the spirit that motivates.
One hires Sherpas on climbs to the mountain tops. For money, you have hired the gallant Sherpas to help you with the climb. That they surely will do.
We believe different. Understand their beliefs, their customs, live with their families, share bread with them; respect genuinely those things that move their soul and what you have are friends to accompany you on your climb.
On those dangerous mountain terrains, I would trust my life with my friends. Months we have spent on the ground, Fahim and I living amongst these kind folk. In their houses, not in hotels. We went with them to their places of worship, with the deepest respect for their beliefs, not necessarily to agree with them.
Understand what moves their deepest held emotions..
Yes, the road to Shangri-La begins here. if I wanted to ever find Shangri-La, it had to start here....It is here that one begins to understand the courage, honor, the sacrifice, the hardships and the deep seated convictions that are required to go in search of Shangri-La.
Amazing visits and a treasure of a spouse! You are indeed on top of the world. What a dizzying experience! If you make mistakes, Ayesha has to forgive you!

Our purpose is getting to an impressive photograph. So we encourage browsing and then feedback. Consider a link to your galleries annotated, C&C welcomed. Images posted within OPF are assumed to be for Comment & Critique, unless otherwise designated.
This is a most wonderful story, Ayesha. You've set a high example for everyone to follow. A love of family and an unstoppable zeal to appreciate the wonders bestowed on us. Few people knowing the desert as you do also face the winds, colds and risks of such high places!
Being able to take dreadful risks is one of the greatest features of humanity. We should train for that too and then do that in the name of peace.

The Road To Shangri-La #2.1
The Road To Shangri-La #2.1
I had trained hard for this journey. But that was in other parts of the world. I had to
prepare myself here, in Nepal.
Fahim and I set up our training camp.
The body had been trained. I had to train my mind.
Be part of that which governs the life of those to whom Shangri-La belongs, Fahim had said. Share their daily world with them.
Fail to understand and appreciate this, and you shall fail even before you begin your search for Shangri-La. It can never be otherwise. It will never be otherwise.
All you would accomplish is a climb. Nothing more. Much easier and safer to do it back home then. No?
The family of this house very generously accepted us in their homes. We lived with the family, ate with them, worked with them ( Fahim chose to sit with the old man all day..each and single day talking and taking photographs! )
The porch ( ? ) you see in the photograph was our bedroom.
Living with them, I began to learn a little. The human mind is a marvelous thing. Respecting their customs implicitly was paramount. One had to be accepted as genuine, as one of them, so to speak. Different though I was in many ways, but I must genuinely be and appear to be similar where and when it mattered. Pretenders would never last long.
Is it difficult to understand and respect another culture?. Is it difficult to be accepted, even though one is a foreigner? Of course it is. Very very difficult.
But then again, I was never under the impression that the Road to Shangri-La was going to be easy.
The Journey had to start here. The Journey did start here. The Journey shall always start here.
But where are the mountains? Oh, them? They are just behind the house. The path
you see leads directly to Lukla.
Lukla? What or where is Lukla? Follow that small trail for many days, and climb 2800 meters high. You cannot miss Lukla.
Which direction? Any direction. It would not be Shangri-La otherwise, would it? But the mountains..
If you must, here is the back of the house. Careful, it is a long way down from here!
Immortality... A dream?
May be it is, but it could equally be nothing but a nightmare.
Shangri-La, a place we all visited, a place we all know so well. Indescribable beauty, breathtaking, a place where even the most troubled mind will rest, find peace, reconnect.
Connect? Connect with what?
The truth, the real matters of life!
We are all connected.
Connections are broken, everywhere. People rushing from A to B, not really knowing why, but they were told to do so, so they do. Bodies with lost souls, hearts pumping blood, lifeless, no compassion, no self esteem, no empathy, no simple love.
Expressions of disconnectedness, entry hall to insanity. Finite decisions, echo in eternity. Old men with hatred faces call on young men to obey. Young men follow, children unborn, women unloved, parents heartbroken.
Shangri-La, when did we loose the way? This clearly marked path, every child can see it in the dark, but we lost it.
A blind man can see. Did you know this?
Your eyes are in good health, but you are blind.
Your heart beats, pumps blood, but you are blind.
The silence has a voice, you just have to listen, it may not be a language you ever heard before, but you will understand.
Without water we are nothing. When the glaciers are gone, the sound of silence will be deafening, leaving millions starving to death. When the glaciers are gone, a frozen leaf will fall and touch the ground, and somewhere a million stars explode.
Shangri-La, the true eyes of the blind man. Tears run down his cheek, the glaciers are gone....
- Thank you Aeysha, thank you Fahim -
"Being able to take dreadful risks is one of the greatest features of humanity. We should train for that too and then do that in the name of peace." I am inspired by Ayesha's climb and Fahim's support. That shows the we, as ordinary human beings, have, for certain, all the stuff it takes to overcome the negatives you rightly dwell on. We just need to do the training and apply the support for the the new generations to address real issues. Without training, what values can be applied wherein what is out manifest heritage is also sustainable?
It's not just going to happen. We need role models. Our mindset must be filled with the logical and emotively motivating books, movies and songs; our will, with the necessary goals. The reality is that with or without great tragedy, we'll change or be extinct. Shangri-La is as fragile as we all are!

Fahim and Ayesha,
Pardon the brief diversion, but your work is inspirational. We're so glad Georg was moved to comment on our fragile muddled presence on this planet. Now back to the photographs.
A casual onlooker might pass on this sight of mundane activity in a run down uninteresting back of a house. A modest "garden" yard with just some bushes for privacy, bleeding, it seems, into the surrounding rolling countryside. But there's no landscape beauty near us, right here in the picture, just that rusty corrugated iron, (rain-barrel, perhaps), makeshift repairs to a table and untidy, but practical stores of cut wood for fires. But what do we have here in the photograph that's so worthy of lingering more? There's much for those who linger quietly and just observe.
In this most unlikely setting are two barefoot ladies. They're both graceful in their clothing of wrapped red-patterned fabric; busy, minds occupied in mundane chores or perhaps essential ritual ablutions.
In their pose, form and and stature they show nobility and rich beauty. Not an ordinary picture!
How would it print? That would be a huge job but worthy of the effort. I think one would have to prepare the image very carefully. A simple print would fail to show the importance we see in the women.

Fahim has agreed to contribute his thoughts....
Let me know the people...I shall let you know. About Shangri-La.
What I wrote above, they were my spontaneous associations when I looked at your photographs, I took the liberty to express it as spontaneous as they came to my mind. It is a place I long to see since many years, like so many more.
What you achieved, no one can comprehend, except those who were with you, and even they will not know about your deepest battles, the only and true djihad in ones life that really counts. You strike me as someone with the soul of a noble ancient warrior.
May be I can describe my reaction better, with less potential for misunderstandings, without words....
This was the music I heard in me when I saw your photographs and read you words. I started recording straight away, otherwise the tunes disappear so quickly, like the vapor from hard breathing in ice cold air. Again, thanks for sharing. I am most impressed!
With respect and Fahim's permission, I dedicate it to you, SHANGRI LA: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4914840/shangrila.mp3
Long long time...no hear. Need to know what you been upto.
I hear you my friend. Ayesha is out right now. She shall hear the .mp3 you so kindly attached.
She has asked me to post my thoughts once more!! See the next post them.
Take care.

The Road To Shangri-La #4
I am almost ready to start on one of my climbs. I am privileged to have you with Fahim and me.
But first a longer than usual pre-amble and a very very humble but important tribute.
It must be paid. It deserves to be paid.
I feel very strongly about this post. And very humble as I write.
There are multiple ways to search for Shangri-La. I can only envy those that have had the courage and luck to stand on the summit of Everest; to look for it. Did they find it?
I do not know. However, I know this; I can never ascend to the summit. Those who thought that bravery and courage were the only determinants to scale the mountain peaks, are either lost or dead. Period. There is no second chance. At least not where I went.
' Don't Delay ' was a thread Fahim posted as a tongue-in-cheek way of illustrating the way most ' visitors ' to Nepal trek through the mountains.
I hope you realize that that was not our way.
Our climbs ( yes we have taken different routes at different times ) were non-commercial. Meticulously planned by the best in the business.
I was guided by the best there is. Our principal guide and his beautiful young wife are family friends of ours.. Very precious and dear to Fahim and me.
They want to remain nameless. I will respect that.
I shall call him Tan in my posts. Tan's grandfather was a Gurkha. His father has helped in many assaults on the summit of Everest. Tan and his young wife were with him on some of them.
Have a look at your palm, any one palm. Do it now. Turn it over back to its normal position. You have carried this palm since your birth.
Now tell me how many lines are there on your palm? How many cross overs amongst those lines.? You get the drift.
Tan and his wife could tell the position of boulders around you in the pitch of darkness.
Anytime of the year. In any weather. On any of the routes they have traversed in the Himalayas. And there are a very very few routes that they have not travelled.
Travelers and Tourists will not have the good fortune to meet Tan and his wife. They never ever will do it for money. For friends, they shall go the distance. I know, by experience.
Who do you think reached the summit of Everest first? Another successful attempt, who reached the summit first? All attempts, who reaches the summit first?
The first person to reach the summit is invariably your lead Sherpa.
The brave, noble and unsung heros; making it possible for those whose pictures you see on your television screens.
The final ascent to the Everest Summit commences in the dead of night! For various
reasons...not the least being the time it takes to make the final assault and the weather encroaching on the summit as the sun rises. Depends also on the attack face of Everest.
Stakes are hammered in the ice and rock. A step is taken, another step and another ladder. The perilous preparations are done.
The Sherpa stands aside, holding the slung ladder against the dreaded and fatal wind shear. The 'climber ' steps up to the summit and the photographs.
Fahim and I salute them.
Walk with respect on this ground. Walk softly. Walk silently. Walk through this land with humility. You are walking through the resting place of the Guardians. Guardians to the gates of Shangri-La.
The Road To Shangri-La #5
The Road To Shangri-La #5
My journey here was part of a long journey; in search of a legend or was it different legends. Different and Same.
Zeus on Olympus, the Guardians on Everest.
Valhalla for the Vikings and Shangri-La for the Sherpas.
The journey had started much earlier and much farther away. As most journeys do.
The terrain was different, the weather was different, the life forms had adapted themselves to their environs and were necessarily different; but underneath all the pretense it was unbelievably the same.
See a child smile. See a child cry. See the joy or sadness in those eyes. You see the joys and sadness of mankind; of grown-ups. Of those that were, are and shall be.
Different but similar.
Whether one offered prayers by erecting stones in the Arctic Lapland,
or let the prayer flags speak to the wind.
Indeed we had come a long way. Had experienced much.
A fleeting moment of indecision, of doubt.
I looked towards the South East. The Guardians looked back. Through the rampart walls.
Looked North..toward the seven highest summits on the planet..
I recited my prayers.
Let's go, I said. I had picked up the gauntlet.
I'm so late to come here and missed something. Thanks for your pictures and story, wonderful!
Anna it is very gracious of you to
Stop by and comment
My apologies for the late acknowledgement.
What a beautiful beautiful journal you and Ayesha have written. Not only for the eyes but the mind as well- Wow!
As a young girl I always dreamed of Shangri-la Nepal and Lap Landers -
I see you helped me find it-
the photos are awesome just awesome-
Thank you!
Good afternoon Charlotte
Fahim reading this with me
U 2 r an awesome lady
We r honored 2 knw u
Such lovely pics - well done!

Smashbox Blush & Soft Lights Duo - Smashing Aurora / Shimmer

I love this dusty rose blush/fleshy pink highlighter duo. I swapped for it recently and it gives me a subtle flush and glow and works well on my fair complexion. Quite often I use the Shimmer side over other blushes and as eyeshadow, so it truly is a multi-use product. As I've stated in other SB reviews, I really dislike the screw top packaging, but I'm obsessed with the quality of these powders, so I keep getting more. Definitely swap or buy this duo if you have the opportunity and wear these types of shades well.

Don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet. I've had mine for almost two years now and both the blush and the highlighter have become staples. It's the perfect duo for someone like me with naturally rosy cheeks that flush and fade over the course of the day. It gives just the right natural-looking wash of color to keep me from looking completely sallow when my natural flush wanes.
The blush itself is nothing special in terms of color or effects. Just a soft matte mauve, but the color is perfect on me - MCBB. The highlighter is just as soft and gives a barely-there glow. It's so subtle that I'm amazed at how effectively it livens up my whole face, but it does. Sometimes I look in the mirror after applying my makeup and it looks a bit flat, like something's missing. I add a few swipes of the highlighter and my face is suddenly brighter and I look polished and pulled together. It adds the perfect finishing touch even on "no makeup" days and looks very pretty as an eye shadow. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a soft, natural look and I'll definitely repurchase if I ever run out.

I loooove this!!! The darker, rosey blush is nice when I want a more dramatic look. I am wild about the light pink one for everyday though. It has the nicest little shimmer to it. It is a very light shimmer-- just enough. It stays on all day too. My HG of blushes.

I like how it stays put all day long. I have oily skin and I never have to re apply it. A little goes a long way. Overall a good product.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure

This duo consists of a matte medium dark dusty rose, and a pinkish, flesh tone shimmer. The shimmer is very pretty, but the dusty rose side goes on looking dirty on me. Even when applied with light hand, this color still looks like not part of my face and is very unatural, really just looks I have some dirt smeered on my face. I am not sure what kind of coloring would look good with this blush. I am a FFF Asian.

Practice Areas
Classification of Imported Beef Jerky Upheld by Appeals Court
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld Feb. 3 a Court of International Trade decision that certain beef jerky products are properly classified as cured beef under HTSUS 1602.50.09 (4.5% duty). The plaintiff argued for classification as other prepared or preserved beef under HTSUS 1602.50.2040 (1.4% duty).
The products at issue consist of sliced, cooked, cured and dried meat seasoned with salt and other spices and flavors. The manufacturing process for the imported jerky includes curing the sliced boneless beef in a mixture of seasoning, sodium nitrate and water for 24 to 48 hours, after which the meat is cooked and smoked for three to six hours. Once placed in airtight bags, the product has a shelf life of 18–20 months.
The plaintiff asserted that the drying process changes the beef jerky into a different product from conventional cured meat products, such as packaged ham and roast beef. For support, the plaintiff pointed to differences in the way the Department of Agriculture classifies meat products depending on the moisture content.
However, the CAFC agreed with the government that another agency's non-tariff regulations are not dispositive and that the beef jerky is described eo nomine as cured beef. HTSUS 1602.50.09 does not draw distinctions based on whether or not the meat is dehydrated, the court stated, and the only inquiry is whether or not the meat has been cured, which the jerky at issue indisputably has. The court adds that although there is a respectable argument that the further step of dehydration affects the beef jerky product beyond the curing process, it does not overcome the simple and straightforward classification of the jerky as cured beef products.

Capture phenotypic data digitally and enhance the value of your genotyping study.
Put the free 23andMe module for Apple's ResearchKit™ framework to work for you.
What is the correlation between a person's genome and their motor skills? Are there biomarkers associated with cognitive ability? How do genes influence long-term health?
To truly understand these types of questions, you need to look at both genotypic and phenotypic data.
We make it easy.
The 23andMe module can be quickly integrated into an app using Apple's ResearchKit framework—simplifying your ability to add phenotypic data collection to your Genotyping Services for Research project.
How it works - pheno
How it works.
You have a genotyping project in the works with 23andMe. Let's look at
how digitized phenotypic data collection gets added.
Step 2: We supply our module for ResearchKit to you for integration into your app.
The free module we have developed for Apple's ResearchKit framework is designed to be easily integrated. You can download the module and view the documentation on GitHub.
Whats Possible
What's possible?
Many kinds of phenotypic data can be collected. If the iPhone's sensors can monitor it or capture it, you can study it. This is just a (very) partial list:
- Surveys
- Food diaries
- Gait and balance tests
- Tapping speed
- Spatial memory
- Reaction time
- Tone audiometry
Questions? We have answers.
It is a requirement of 23andMe's Genotyping Services for Research (under which the phenotypic data collection is arranged as well) that IRB approval of any research study is obtained in accordance with all applicable legal, regulatory and institutional requirements.
The module is available from 23andMe's GitHub page.
Your genotypic and phenotypic data from your study will not be sent to or shared with Apple, with one exception. If Apple is listed as a co-investigator for the study AND your research participant allows you to share study data with co-investigators, phenotypic data collected via iPhone will be accessible by Apple.
Tell us the details of your research project, and we'll contact you for a consultation on using our comprehensive genotyping service for your study.discuss your project

How to get rid of hemorrhoids – Dr. Hemorrhoids are frequently seen in primary care clinics, emergency wards, gastroenterology units and surgical clinics, but how do you know when hemorrhoids have developed and when you should see a doctor? These are common concerns among people who develop hemorrhoids and don't know how to deal with and treat the pain. Thankfully, there are natural treatments for how to get rid of hemorrhoids fast, and starting there may help relieve these literal pains in the butt. To get rid of hemorrhoids, it's important that you avoid constipation and hard stool, which can be done by eating plenty of high-fiber foods to make stools soft. Eat foods such as avocados, berries, figs, Brussels sprouts, acorn squash, beans, lentils, nuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds and quinoa.
Spicy foods and alcohol intake, take frequent rest stops so you can walk around for a few minutes. But how what to use to get rid of hemorrhoids relieve hemorrhoid pain after birth do you know when hemorrhoids have developed and when you should see a doctor? And how to relieve hemorrhoid pain thrombosed external hemorrhoid burst bleeding birth scar tissue holds nearby veins in place so they can't bulge into the anal canal. Pathology's modern founder, this is due to its hemostatic and astringent properties. With one of four large boxes of "Pathguy" replies. A PSEUDOMEMBRANE results when the upper portion of a mucosal surface undergoes necrosis — chia seeds and quinoa.
Dehydration can lead to constipation because water or fluids are required for fiber to travel smoothly through the digestive tract. Many studies, including one published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, indicate that fluid loss and fluid restriction can increase constipation, which can worsen hemorrhoid symptoms. Fermented foods like kefir, kimchi and raw, pastured yogurt can help provide the digestive system with healthy bacteria that are essential for proper elimination. Alcohol can be dehydrating and hard on the digestive system, making hemorrhoid symptoms worse. And spicy foods can intensify the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Some studies show that both alcohol and spicy foods consumption serve as risk factors for hemorrhoids, although the data isn't consistent.
To be safe, limit these foods until the hemorrhoids have cleared up. Straining during a bowel movement can be painful and make hemorrhoid problems even worse. Don't wait too long before going to the toilet. Pay attention to your body's signals, and when you feel an urge to use the bathroom, go right away. Otherwise the stool will become harder, and this will automatically make you push harder. When you're at the toilet, take your time and relax your body. Constipation forces you to strain while using the bathroom, and that will increase the pain and inflammation of the hemorrhoid. To avoid constipation, drink plenty of fluids, engage in regular physical activity and eat high-fiber foods that make stools soft.
These steps also help answer how to get rid of hemorrhoids or prevent them in the first place. Spending too much time on the toilet can worsen hemorrhoids. If stool is left behind after you wipe, it can aggravate hemorrhoids even more, which is why it's important to cleanse yourself thoroughly after going to the bathroom. Do not, however, cleanse yourself too roughly or use soaps that contain harsh chemicals, alcohol or perfumes. Instead, use plain water to wipe yourself and then dry your bottom afterward. Butcher's broom can help reduce swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids.
Horse chestnut is commonly used as an herbal remedy for poor blood flow and swelling. According to research published in Alternative Medicine Review, horse chestnut has been shown to improve microcirculation, capillary flow and vascular tone, all of which are helpful for how to get rid of hemorrhoids. Witch hazel is a plant that's used for its skin-healing, astringent and antioxidant properties. Topical application of witch hazel can help soothe hemorrhoids by reducing inflammation and pain. Psyllium husk is a natural source of pure fiber that's sold in powder form. Studies suggest that plant fibers like psyllium husk can reduce the frequency of bleeding when using the bathroom and help avoid constipation or straining.
When using psyllium husk, make sure to drink plenty of water. Cypress essential oil stops excess blood flow and promotes the clotting of blood. This is due to its hemostatic and astringent properties. Cypress oil helps with the contraction of blood vessels, and it tightens tissues. It's also known to reduce anxiety, which can help to relieve constipation for some people. Helichrysum essential oil helps stimulate the secretion of gastric juices that are needed to break down food and prevent digestive issues.
It also serves as an anti-inflammatory agent when applied topically. To use helichrysum, rub two to three drops into the abdomen or area of inflammation. Now, you might be wondering why it's so important to know how to get rid of hemorrhoids, especially if you've never experienced hemorrhoid symptoms before. Well, it's because no one is immune to hemorrhoids. I bet you didn't know that we all have hemorrhoids, but it's true. Hemorrhoids are normal cushions of tissue that are filled with blood vessels and found at the end of the rectum, just inside the anus. Together with a circular muscle called the anal sphincter, hemorrhoids help control bowel movement. The two basic types include internal and external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are more common, and external hemorrhoids tend to feel like a large lump around the outside of the anus that can make sitting painful.

San Francisco supervisor Ed Jew has pleaded not guilty to a federal fraud charge.
Jew was in court this morning, a day after being charged by federal prosecutors with attempting to extort $80,000 from a group of fast-food business owners.
He is being released on $1 million bail.
The federal charge comes after an FBI sting where prosecutors say the operators of a group of tapioca drink shops gave Jew $40,000 in cash.
Jew has acknowledged taking the money, but says he did so at the business owners' insistence and on behalf of a consultant he recommended they hire to help with their permit problem.
The rookie supervisor is also facing felony charges of perjury and election code violations for allegedly lying about where he lived so he could run for office in San Francisco.
Mayor Gavin Newsom issued a statement Thursday calling on Jew to resign.

Shares of Lattice Semiconductor Corp. climbed Monday after Morgan Stanley analyst Mark Lipacis upgraded the chip maker, saying it will likely gain share in the wireless market.
Lipacis raised his rating to "Equal-weight" from "Underweight" and increased his target price to $6 from $4.
"We now expect Lattice's mid-range products to take share from the more expensive products of Altera and Xilinx (both 'Equal-weight') in the wireless infrastructure market," the analyst wrote in a note to investors.
The overall chip sector traded higher Monday, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector index up 5 points, or 1.4 percent, to 354.16 in afternoon trading.
Lipacis said Lattice has restructured its business to focus more on profitable, low-cost product lines while phasing out its higher-end products, which "lagged competition."
"Our analysis indicates the stock is baking in higher estimates, and should trade in line with (competitors)," the analyst wrote.
Shares of the Hillsboro, Ore.-based company rose 29 cents, or 5.7 percent, to $5.41 in afternoon trading. In the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between $1.68 and $5.97.

Former Arbor Networks' executive Craig Labovitz has officially taken the wrapper of his new venture DeepField, a cloud-to-big data startup that claims its technology can help large enterprises map cloud services.
After 18 months in partial stealth mode, the new firm looks like a logical extension of CEO Labovitz's speciality during his Arbor days; understanding the deeper structures, traffic, dependencies and complexity of the Internet's sharp end, private and public cloud services.
Last month, Labovitz offered a good example of this way of understanding the cloud, reporting that according to his firm's analytics Google now accounted for a quarter of all Internet traffic in one shape or form.
At Arbor, Labovitz's party piece was his insight into the rise of Google, not in terms of its public activity but where it counts, deeper in the Internet's usually hidden traffic flows.
"If Google were an ISP, as of this month it would rank as the second largest carrier on the planet," he said in 2010.
As for DeepField, Labovitz believes his firm's Cloud Genome technology, available as either SaaS or as a virtual appliance, will appeal to cloud providers, content delivery networks (CDNs) and large enterprises.
"Legacy hardware solutions are on the wrong side of Moore's Law. Ten years ago the problem was getting data from servers and network infrastructure. Today, the challenge is how to leverage massive streams of network and cloud performance data to make intelligent business decisions," said Labovitz.
"DeepField has built a platform that can deal with the Three V's of big data: volume, variety and velocity," said the startup's chief data scientist, Naim Falandino.
"The differentiator is that in addition to storing, analyzing and accessing this data, our platform also applies a deep level of domain knowledge to it so that users can immediately derive value for their business needs."
DeepField's launch products are still in beta testing at its early customers, the firm said.

Justice Minister Claire Sugden hopes a major review of sentencing policy issues will increase public confidence in the justice system.
The independent MLA is re-examining the legislative framework for certain categories of crime including offences which may result in death, causing death by dangerous driving, attacks against those providing frontline healthcare workers and hate crimes.
The setting of tariffs for murder, the arrangements for unduly lenient sentences and the effectiveness of the current sentencing guidelines are also being reviewed.
She said: "I am aware of concerns that have been expressed from time to time about sentencing in some individual cases.
"While such cases represent a very small part of the everyday work of the courts, they can have a significant impact on public perception and confidence in the justice system and the sentencing process.
"That is why I have decided that a comprehensive review of sentencing policy is needed."
There has been public backlash over apparently lenient sentences in a number of high profile cases including animal cruelty crimes.
And, in April, the family of student Enda Dolan who was knocked down and killed slammed the sentence handed to the drunk driver.
Ms Sugden added: "This is not a review about sentencing decisions.
"Sentencing in the individual case is, of course, a matter for the judiciary and the courts and it is essential that their independence is maintained.
"However, it is my responsibility to ensure the effectiveness of the legislative framework within which individual sentencing decisions are made, and, along with the Lord Chief Justice's programme of action, to seek to ensure that there is confidence in how those decisions are reached.
"Significant steps have already been taken by the judiciary to bring increased transparency and consistency to sentencing.
"I want to see if anything more can be done to increase public confidence, something which is of fundamental importance to the objective of providing an effective and responsive criminal justice system."
Recommendations arising out of the review will be subject to public consultation.

London: The Decision Review System (DRS) controversy that has marred the Ashes has forced cricket chiefs to fly to England for urgent talks with arch-rivals England and Australia ahead of the fourth Test in Durham.
According to a report, ICC general manager of cricket Geoff Allardice will try to placate both sides, who are confused and frustrated by DRS after a string of controversial decisions during the current Ashes series, and will need to defend the match officials and the technology during the discussions.
However, the report also said that the global cricket governing body will probably not change the umpires appointed for the remaining two Ashes Tests, in Durham and London.
DRS is also on the agenda for the next ICC chief executive`s meeting in September along with Hot Spot, after its inventor, Warren Brennan, admitted it struggles to pick up thin edges, the report added.

When you deposit your money with a bank, you presume it would be safely returned to you. How many times do you check whether your money is put to good use by the bank?.
You may ask " why is it important to do that?'. It is really important because, the bank may go bankrupt if it is doing some irresponsible lending. This can lead to loss of your deposit ( I am not in for arguments like government will back it up, deposit insurance,etc,etc as it is not good for the economy in the long run)
So, it is very important to punish the non-performing banks by withdrawing your deposits from them or at least making a conscious decision of making no further deposit with a non-performer.
Look at the NPAs ( Non Performing Assets- bad loans) of the banks, if they are continuously on the raise ( when compared to industry standards and other banks), you should start treating your bank as a non-performer.
If you do not do this, it helps the people of the following kind
"Those who take loan with political pressure and don't pay back, helps the real estate guys who can keep the prices high funded by bank loans and never bother to pay them soon, helps the industrialist who run a show business and do not care to pay even their employees."
So, you are helping these guys when you don't punish non-performers. Next time, when you see an article about you bank's NPA - " ACT ON IT". Punish the non-performers.

I'm writing this as a journal for myself. I wouldn't mind if nobody sees it but me; however, it would also be nice to meet new people, and possibly get some fresh perspectives on everything going on in my life right now. And there is so much going on…which is the reason for the blog. I hope putting things in writing will help organise my thoughts, and maybe that will help me wrangle all the various traumas bombarding me. Yes, at least for the foreseeable future, this blog is all about me, me, me. So I really can't imagine anybody wanting to read it.
I have a transgender daughter, K, who came out to me on February 1, 2013 at the age of 20. I have a younger daughter, M, with her own very complicated life and issues. I have a mother who has been stumping her own version of Dr. House for the past two years with a mystery illness…which may never be solved, because a week and a half ago she was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. (My mother has never smoked a day in her life.) I have an estranged husband. And more! (There's always more.) I imagine I'll get to all of it eventually.
I have a feeling it's gonna be a bit of a wild ride. I have a tendency to spout run-on sentences in a stream-of-consciousness sort of way; I'll try to be aware and edit as I go. Who knows? Maybe my writing will improve as a little side benefit of this. Tomorrow, I think I'll start with some background on who I am, where I come from, and how I got to where I am now.

Innovation: Bruichladdich has been described as 'a working distillery museum' but in its hayday, it was one of Islay's most modern distilleries and today it is one of Scotland's most innovative. Built in 1881, by the Harvey brothers, like most distilleries at the time its fortunes were largely linked to its blends. After multiple changes of ownership and some major investment, the Bruichladdich Distillery continues today to experiment and innovate. Port Charlotte is Bruichladdich's heavily peated single malt with a peating level of around 40ppm (parts per million). Port Charlotte is known for being naturally peaty but also has the elegance, complexity and floral notes for which their stills are famous.
Tasting Notes: on the nose: you'll experience a healthy dose of peat smoke, however, not of the Islay type. This is closely followed by notes of iodine and salted caramel and spices in the form of black pepper and paprika. There are some lovely leathery notes wafting around in there followed by vanilla, plums, poached pears and walnuts. On the palate: there is a rich sweetness, coupled with that smoke initially nosed. That Maritime caramel note is ever-present, followed by vanilla and toasted oats. There is a lovely twist of zest floating around in there, alongside notes of liquorice. The finish: is long, sweet and oaky, with lingering smoky peat.
The verdict: The Bruichladdich Port Charlotte is just one of the many expressions available in this range and as an entry point, it's perfect. It has all of the notes you'd expect from an Islay scotch whisky but it also has tonnes of depth to back up that big peaty smoke. From nose to palate, it is a very consistent drop that has been very well-balanced. While the ABV percentage is quite high, I suggest you try it neat first, then add water if required.
Info: ABV 50% in a 70cl bottle
Technological Innovation: In 2013, Ressence first released the Type 3, a groundbreaking horological marvel that took the watch world by storm. While it is understandable that its aesthetics are largely a matter of taste, no one could deny its impressiveness in terms of originality and technical innovation. In 2015, Ressence released an updated version of the Type 3.
Starting at the chamber at the front, it houses Ressence's signature dial with no hands, dubbed the Ressence Orbital Convex System, or in short ROCS. Unconventionally, the dial has no hands and instead uses independently rotating concentric discs to tell the time. The hands and numerals are painted in a fixed position but tells the time as each sub dial rotates at its own specific pace in unison.
The dial chamber of the Type 3 is oil filled, creating a flat sheen to the face making it appear like an electronic screen than a face of a mechanical watch. The oil sits in between the dial and the domed sapphire but it creates an illusion through the way it refracts light, making the dial look like it is pressed right up against the sapphire, making the depth imperceptible.
Nowadays, watch manufacturers just appear to be recycling and regurgitating old ideas but Ressence is taking a bold stand through its originality. Ushering in a new age in horology that most are too reluctant to part take in, Ressence appear to be excelling through their technological innovations.

A new resin used to strip chromium from Hanford groundwater near the Columbia River is saving about twice as much money as estimated, according to Hanford officials.
The Department of Energy and CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Co. began using the resin at a new plant near the former D and DR reactors in late 2010 and then at a second new treatment facility near the former H Reactor.
It proved so successful that by a year ago, all five "pump and treat" plants removing chromium from groundwater near the river were using it. They pump up groundwater contaminated with hexavalent chromium, treat the water and reinject cleaned water back into the ground.
Sodium chromate used to be added as a corrosion inhibitor to river water used to cool reactors that produced weapons plutonium at Hanford during World War II and the Cold War. It leaked and spilled from transfer systems and piping over decades to contaminate soil and then groundwater near many of the reactors.

When DOE expanded the resin use to all five plants, the switch was projected to save up to $1.6 million a year. But now it is saving more than $3 million annually, officials say.
The new resin, manufactured by ResinTech, has not had to be changed since it was loaded into the first pump and treat groundwater plant at Hanford.
"This means our systems can continue to operate, and we can treat more groundwater," said Dan Neshem, CH2M Hill pump and treat operations and maintenance engineer, in a statement.
It also saves the $10,000 each resin replacement costs.
CH2M Hill estimates that in the last 2.5 years, as all the plants have been switched over, about 600 resin changes have been avoided. That has saved $6 million that can be used for other environmental cleanup at Hanford.
The resin also allows for higher treatment capacity with existing equipment at the older plants. It has increased treatment capacity at one plant by 40 percent, officials say.

In this entry i intend to cover the '60s influences that i am a big fan of, and in particular the early '60s ladylike dressing that flowed on from the late 1950s.
...Say hello to fuller figures and longer hemlines this season as the skirt and dress silhouettes of the late '50s / early '60s swing their way back onto the scene as a 2011 fashion trend.
Full '60s dress at Louis Vuitton A/W 2010
Dress Styles
1) Full skirts:
meaning the '60s housewife look, think Betty Draper: the overflow of '50s prom style dresses into '60s day wear. Full, below-the-knee circle skirts, cinched in waists, and prim, proper styling.
•Look to Louis Vuitton and Prada who both put ladylike full skirts on their runways for the Fall 2010 season, particularly in heavier fabrics like wool blends.
•For Spring 2011 look to bright, fresh colours and pastels, and prints like florals or stripes (see Jayson Brunsdon Spring 2010 for some great examples).
2)The granny skirt
No, that wasnt one big typing error, longer, usually gathered or pleated, often with a ruffled hem, the granny skirt is as it sounds: a young take on grandma dressing. It falls rather than puffs out too much and is more understated - think sixties office girl. If I'm to stick with the Mad Men analogy, this is the style you'd more likely spot on Peggy Olsen. The key to pulling off this look today is to either make it completely effortless, or surprisingly sexy.
•Avoid looking dowdy by pairing with a fitted top; or sex it up with a sheer blouse.
•For an authentic look pair with flats or dainty kitten heels. To modernise, stick with a pair of high heels.
•Sweeten it up with a pair of little bobby socks under shoes a la Marc Jacobs (see the inspiration gallery).
Full skirt at Louis Vuitton, A/W 20103)The bombshell: sheath skirts and dresses
A straight cut sheath or pencil skirt is the ultimate in creating a 1960s hourglass shape - not only cinching in the waist, but clinging to the hips as well. Think Man Men bombshell Joan Holloway
•Look for skirts that are straight, high waisted, below knee with a kick pleat or slit at the back.
•You can also look for fitted sheath dresses. These are great sleeveless or with classic three-quarter sleeves.
•The peg-top skirt is another alternative - full at the waist with small darts or pleats, and tapering narrowly to the hem.
Sheath dress at L'Wren Scott, S/S 2010
Accessorising a '60s ladylike look
If you want to stick with the theme, here are a few traditional ways of accessorising a '60s look that can still work today:
•Ladylike kitten heels.
•Bold red lipstick for a bombshell look or soft pink for a vintage belle.
•Cats-eye glasses.
•'60s accessories: a wide, waist-cinching belt; a leather clutch in candy-store pastels; gloves; a classic headscarf.
•Hair worn sultry and '60s sex kitten, or swept up into a beehive.
See the inspiration gallery for more styling ideas
Modernising the '60s look
As well as the points already mentioned, there are plenty of other ways to bring the late '50s / early '60s silhouettes into the now. Here are just a few.
•Follow Dries Van Noten's lead for the ultimate in effortless modernising of the '60s full skirt. Throw over a boyfriend blazer with a turned up collar, or a souchy sporty sweat top, and slip on a pair of on-trend sunglasses.
•Try the same silhouettes but with a shorter hemline, such as above the knee or shorter.
•Add a pair of knee high socks that can just be seen below the hemline.
•Look for pieces in fabrics like leather or sheer tulle for an edgy update on the look.
•Pair a full '60s skirt or sheath skirt with a cropped top, exposing a little midriff.
•Wear with one of the more modern 2010 hair trends like a messy topknot or effortless side braid.

With the resurgence of the original NYC House/Garage sound in the 21st century fuelled heavily by the likes of new faces such as Maya Jane Coles, Disclosure & Bicep, first generation production legends like Marc 'MK' Kinchen have recently resurfaced, sought after on remix and DJ duties by the 21st century house generation.
In the early nineties, Kinchen was responsible for seminal House classic 'Burning' and the crossover classic mix of Push the Feeling On and he has since gone on to produce for virtually everyone from Pitbull, Will Smith and Céline Dion (giving her the only Billboard Dance Chart placing of her career) & created the scores for hit movies such as "Sharks Tale".

At the time in June 2012 I called this "poppycock" and implored Facebook to undo the visibility change it made without permission. Allowing users to choose to share their @facebook.com address that routed to their Facebook Messages Inbox would have been fine. If Facebook wanted to compete to be your email address, though, it should have done it on a level playing field.
But to banish email addresses provided by its competitors like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft with hardly any notice was dishonest. One source even told me that Apple may have pressured Facebook to hide Gmail addresses as part of the deal to get baked into iOS 6.
No matter the reason, it was a treacherous move.
And it bombed. No one used the @facebook.com email addresses. Facebook thought it should be where you read personal emails. It created an integrated communication system designed to combine instant chat, asynchronous messages, and email. Turns out that last part was just too different to be corralled.
So today the company began digging a grave for @facebook.com email addresses. In a statement to TechCrunch, the company said: "We're making this change because most people haven't been using their Facebook email address, and we can focus on improving our mobile messaging experience for everyone." Anyone who did use them will get messages sent to their Facebook addresses forwarded to their primary email account instead of their Facebook Messages inbox.
