"When viewed from a prime spot in the Ryoanji Temple, the five
groupings of rocks in the Zen garden create the "medial-axis"
image of a tree, scientists say. However, the viewer may not even
be aware of the shape, they say." See article/link below.
from the I Am list
There was a large stone slab where you now see a tiny wall to the
east of Skandasram. Everyday we used to keep tooth powder and
water over there for use by Sri Bhagavan. However cold it was,
Sri Bhagavan would come and sit on the slab and clean his teeth.
In the early morning sun's rays, Sri Bhagavan's body would shine
beautifully. When it was very cold, devotees used to request him
not to sit there, but Sri Bhagavan would not listen to them. We
came to know the reason for this only later. "In Big Street,
which is to the north of Arunachaleswara Temple, there was an
elderly woman called Sowbagyathammal. She and a few others had
taken a vow that daily they would eat only after they had seen
Sri Bhagavan and Seshadriswami. Every day they used to climb the
hill to have the darshan of Sri Bhagavan.
"One day Sowbagyathammal did not come. Among his devotees, if he
found even one missing, Sri Bhagavan would ask whether he was all
right. In the same way, he asked Sowbagyathammal the next day why
she did not come the previous day. She said, "All the same I had
your darshan, Bhagavan.'' Sri Bhagavan said, "But you didn't come
yesterday.'' She replied, "I could not climb the hill because of
my weakness. But I was fortunate enough to have your darshan from
my house.'' She explained how she saw Sri Bhagavan when he was
brushing his teeth sitting on the stone slab. She said if he
brushed his teeth at the same place everyday, she would be able
to see him every day from her house itself as she found it
difficult to climb the hill. From then on, Sri Bhagavan brushed
his teeth sitting on the stone, irrespective of weather
conditions. It was a boon for other elderly people also."
from "Reminiscences" by Sri Kunjuswami
Hari Aum !!!
From a book called "Psychology and the East," collected works of
CG Jung, translation by RFC Hull.
"I do not know whether my friend (Zimmer) found it unforgivable or
an imcomprehensible sin on my part that I had not sought out Shri
Ramana...Perhaps I should have visited Shri Ramana. Yet I fear
that if I journed to India a second time to make up for my
omission, it would fare with me just the same: I simply could not
despite the uniqueness of the occasion to bring myself to visit
this undoubtedly distinguished man personally. For the fact is, I
doubt his uniqueness; he is a type which always was and will be.
Therefore it was not necessary to seek him out. I saw him all
over India."
Jung talks about this for nearly a chapter in the book. Jung was
so charmed with "All-Oneness of Universal Being" that he was
"absolutely certain that no one could ever get beyond this, least
of all the Indian holy man himself; and should Shri Ramana say
anything that did not chime in with this melody, or claim to know
anything that trascended it, his illumination would assuredly be
false. The holy man is right when he intones India's ancient
chants, but wrong when he pipes any other tune. This effortless
drone of argumentation, so suited to the heat of southern India,
made me refrain, without regret, from a visit to Tiruvannamalai."
My personal comments: When I invite some friends to local
satsangs, Jung's explanation is incredible similar to what I hear
from friends who have found their guru. They're content and don't
seek any other guru. Perhaps Jung'd found his guru. Maybe it was
*star wars movies heavily uses jung's archetypes.
Jung had his argumentation, but basically he was afraid to meet
Ramana. Jung was a scientist, a doubter, an analyser. Ramana is
beyond analysing, beyond all archetypes, a solid oness. He simply
doesnt fit in Jung's mind. To really meet Ramana he had to drop
his analytical mind, his knowledge. Science and meditation will
never meet.
In Zimmer's book "der Weg zum Selbst", which Jung finished because
of Zimmer's sudden death, he mentions several reasons that
undoubtedly add up to the knowledge that by visiting Ramana,
nothing was to gain. Jung remarked to be fortunate to meet a
practitioner of "who am i" as he had a few doubts whether that
method could work. Which isn't a surprise, going through Ramana's
biography. The householder he met was the typical, happy devotee,
firmly rooted in "maya", making an effort for 'realization', not
concerned wHether or not that would be possible without many years
in silent meditation, hardships, like his master went through.
And who is to proclaim Ramana is beyond "analyzing etc."? That's
the conclusion of devotees, and Jung wasn't one. Ever heard of
Patanjali sutras? That could be called an ancient science of mind
- analytic no problem. Attachment to the "i am the body" idea
shows in its negation: attachment to "i am not the body" idea
then displays as utter neglect with predictable consequences.
Jung also knew that it is very rare, a devotee will "arrive" at
his/her master's "realization" without a similar effort. That
requires optimism to begin with, and a lot of it..... Unless,
"equipped" with a scientific mind, knowing it's impending demise,
enabling to do it's "voided math".
I have heard from Osho, that the real reason Jung did not go to
Ramana was his tremendous fear of death. Could that be possible,
and all these other things: Jung's claiming for example that there
are hundreds of the type like Ramana all over India, just very
sophisticated rationalizations?
A fear of death would translate into an aversion to travel so
India wouldn't have been visited at all. Jung wrote that Ramana
was the whitest spot in India and there can only be one. Having to
finish Heinrich Zimmer's book, having to write both an
introduction and an epilogue, he did a thorough job, as a kind of
last honor to a dear friend. In the epilogue Jung wrote that
Ramana's importance for the West is to emphasize that without the
"inner man", the "outer man" will perish and that he (Jung) saw
this happening in India as well. History shows, that observation
was 'right'.
It is no fun to go to visit someone and see that he or she is
asleep. What would you do? Try to awake them? But they don't want
to be awakened. They even don't know that they are asleep. Had
they wanted to be awakened, they would have gone to Ramana. That
is the true order of things. That is the movement of
consciousness. Ramana did not want to go to them because he dindnt
want to go to sleep. It is hard to stay awake if everybody around
you is sleeping. He probably concluded that it is better to be
alone, static and awawke than to travel in sleep. There are
masters who went to the West, like Osho and others. Osho knew that
he was going to the sleeping ones. He was more enthusiastic than
Ramana, and he was more compassionate. Who would pay a visit to
the sleeping? He shouted there trying to awake someone. And he
succeded with a few, but majority decided to go on sleeping with
their ambitions, they were very angry at him because he disturbed
their sleep. So they threw him back to India. What fools... :)
Ha haha "he didn't want to go to sleep" you're funny; but that
implies that environment played pivotal role in keeping RM awake,
I don't know to whom the compassionate awards go to. In the same
way I can sympathize with Willie Loman, I "identify" and
empathize with the mod day enlightened, like the Krishnamurtis .
These guys did/do like some of you: put on a suit, schlep through
airports and maybe even haggle over cabfare inorder to bring the
wisdom to seekers. Do you know how much "enlightenment" is
misplaced, like luggage, while just doing an interstate book

Zen Garden's Calming Effect Due to Subliminal Image?
It's a 30- by 10-meter (roughly 98- by 32-foot) rectangle
surrounded by earthen walls on three sides and a wooden veranda on
the fourth. Inside the rectangle is a vista of white pebbles and
15 rocks. And it is world famous for the peace and serenity anyone
and everyone who visits it feels.
Visual-imaging scientists in Japan say they've figured out what it
is about the garden that engenders this serenity. The secret: The
more than 500-year-old garden is harboring a subliminal message
in the form of a tree.

Mineral Resources Program
Finding domestic economic sources of rare earth elements will help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources. Regolith is the geologic setting of ion adsorption clay rare earth element deposits. These deposits are of increasing interest to mining industries, as evidenced by newly filed U.S. patents that cover novel separation and extraction methods for deriving rare earth elements from clays. The ion adsorption clay deposits of South China currently supply virtually all heavy rare earth elements, yttrium, and approximately 30% of Chinese light rare earth elements reaching global markets. In addition, these ores can be mined and processed at significant cost savings over other rare earth element deposit types (such as carbonatites, Bokan Mountain type ores), and their low thorium and uranium contents streamline waste disposal.
The main criteria required to form this promising deposit type are
Because source granites for the South China heavy rare earth element deposits are deeply weathered, little is known about necessary granite characteristics that are likely to yield a heavy rare earth element-enriched regolith. To find economic rare earth element ion-adsorption clay deposits in the U.S., we must determine the very specific source rock types and geochemical parameters necessary for the mass transfer, accumulation, and, most importantly, the retention of adsorbed heavy rare earth elements and yttrium in regolith.
There are very few assessment techniques to determine the regional distribution, extent, thickness, grades, and tonnages of rare earth element-enriched regolith in the southeast U.S. Also, little is known about the environmental effects of mining these deposits, or the effects of the application of modern environmentally sustainable mining technologies to these deposits.
The Southeastern United States contains numerous granites of the type that contain high concentrations of rare earth elements.
Some potential outcomes of this research:
Our initial studies were aimed at identifying the potential for rare earth element ion-adsorption clay type deposits in weathered granite rocks of the southeastern United States. Residual deposits, including laterites, bauxites, clays, weathered crusts, and soils, are unconventional resources for many rare earth elements that are, in general, much less well-understood compared to more conventional rare element resources.
We identified plutons and prospective regolith (layer of unconsolidated rocky material covering bedrock) sites in the southeastern United States with similar geologic attributes to those of the South China ion-adsorption clay deposits -- attributes such as rock type, whole-rock chemistry, topographic setting, and accessibility. We focused on two major belts of weathered igneous rocks, selected due to their whole rock chemistries and locations:
We made significant progress in understanding the ion adsorption clay deposit type. We determined that weathering processes and prospective source rocks necessary for the development of light-medium rare earth element ion-exchange deposits do occur in granite-derived regolith of the U.S. Piedmont. Our work proved that Neoproterozoic anorogenic (A-type) granites of the southeastern U.S. are prospective source rocks for granite-derived regolith highly enriched in light-medium rare earth elements. More importantly, we identified bedrock-soil profiles enriched in light-medium rare earth elements at grades averaging ~1000 ppm rare earth elements, which are comparable to those currently being mined in South China (500-3000 ppm rare earth elements).
Many new and as-yet-unresolved questions regarding the occurrence, distribution and genesis of REE ion-exchange deposits were identified during this project; hence the need for continued research.

Ten Marketing Pitfalls
By Stuart Reid
If you want to brand it BIG in Internet Marketing you obligation circumnavigate every undivided mistakes. Here's a inventory of the top ten Pitfalls that drawback out novice Marketers (and numerous grooved ones too!).
The dilemma is you don't pull in you have down into one of these holes until individual points it out. Marketers lean to be stiff-necked and see from passageway nightmare - keenly these may aid you kick a few bad behaviour...Post ads:

1. Procrastination
Putting property off is a slayer where on earth this work this is taken up. You NEED a set up and whichever genus of example paperwork regulations in point. Prioritize your tasks and hang on to lists of everything that necessarily doing. And no concern how substantially you don't surface like-minded doing something retributory get it out of the way and NEVER leave your job it until the close day!
TIP: Use post-it follow-up. They are low-tech but drudgery marvellous :-)Post ads:

2. Striving for Perfection
You'll liable ne'er have a "perfect" website or goods but you cognize what? It doesn't matter! It's grave you get started as presently as you can and kind your location "live". You can squeezing things as you go on and improvements WILL locomote later - but if you try to get everything "right" since you instigate afterwards you'll ne'er make the first move.
TIP: Update your parcel of land every day in teeny-weeny ways, it saves doing everything at quondam and the search-engines it too.
3. Wasting Money
This one is in-chief. Especially if you don't have hoard to burn! Don't get caught up track and field from chance to possibility or buying everything that lands in your inbox. You'll be dumfounded how such you can get for uncommitted. Trust me - you don't requirement fractional the fill up you see online. Try to tenure your emotions and feel beforehand you buy. Write a roll of pros and cons, and make confident that the goods or resource is needed to YOU.
TIP: Look for reviews by nation in need a unconditional a little something in the article of trade and ask questions in forums.
4. Not Spending Enough
Unfortunately you have to pass a miniature. It won't be by a long chalk starting out, but you will condition much as you germinate. For a arrival you'll want a domain, a host, an autoresponder - but these are pretty affordable these days. The majority of your costs will be on promotion, conventionally ezine ads or pay-per-click. If you're profitable causal agency to build your trade goods or you're purchasing resell rights then this is different expense (but you can beginning with liberated associate programs).
TIP: Keep your "Internet Income" segregated and re-invest. You'll be glad you did latter.
5. Wrong Markets
This is a untrustworthy one. If you are deceased set on capture a constant marketplace you could end up on a daylong and pricey cruise that is dead to dead loss. Do any investigating initial. A supposed "niche" bazaar is a well behaved breakthrough but lone if this niche will pass money! Other markets, like Internet Marketing, are incredibly up to BUT Internet Marketers advance investments - and the drive to construct means is a bitter quality emotion. There's a lot of them around!
TIP: Find thing that interests you and use a parcel of land like nichebot.com to see how several searches near are for that idea. High Traffic and Low Demand are your cognitive content.
6. Lack of Growth
You must endlessly bud yourself and build up your nous. Learning is central. If you don't you'll be at a halt near the self skills and concept and you'll never even see when you are bogged low in complacency and regime.
TIP: Put many event distant all day to publication a few articles and crop several sites. Learning in recent times one new cognitive content a day can soar your probable hurriedly.
7. Doing It Alone
You can do it unsocial but it is harder, and without post you are much probable to come to nothing. It doesn't have to be much. On-line forums, for example, are an surprising root of accepted wisdom and commendation. And with other than people, by forming Joint Ventures or starting your own affiliate program you can really leverage your pains and do FAR MORE than you could of all time do on your own.
TIP: Visit forums, messageboards and maillists. Lurk for a patch until you're ripe.
8. Going For The Small Money
You ain't ever gonna get moneyed merchandising $20 items. Seriously, view any higher priced trade goods and services in your commercialism. You'll get little sales, but more net income. You won't know if they put on the market until you try! But don't crash into the noose of selling any old point because you get a giant committee. Integrity is important, too.
TIP: High commercial document sales manual labour well again with surviving clientele who you previously have a similarity near. Try them as a back-end.
9. Separating Life and Work
One of the biggest pitfalls when working from nest is the reality that time can enroach your undertakings - simply because you ARE at family. Try to separate the two and have inflexible present when you work, and a set occupation to do it. Work doesn't have to bear finished your life, but neither should you let existence impede with your trade.
TIP: Use a spare freedom or a trim cranny and ONLY use it for carry out.
10. Be Ambitious
You won't cognise unless you try. Assume you can do *anything* - because you can! You may not be primed to do it yet, but don't set up psychosomatic blocks in finance. You can write your own useful items, vend them well, and have others mercantilism them for you. You can run a array of websites, even grownup seminars, or thatch others. YOU CAN.
TIP: Recognise excuses for what they are. If you need help, spend in a acceptable assist passage.
I optimism distinguishing these pitfalls give a hand you face at yourself otherwise. Contrary to popular theory net commerce is not an instantaneous route to riches, but it is an accomplishable one.

JN reports another study confirming the finding that alterations to Australian raw weather data have increased the official trend by over 30%.
A recent submission to the arXiv archive suggests that altering the data to "inflate and dramatize weather conditions" may have a long tradition.
The Weather and its Role in Captain Robert F. Scott and his Companions' Deaths by Krzysztof Sienicki
Abstract: A long debate has ensued about the relationship of weather conditions and Antarctic exploration. In no place on Earth is exploration, human existence, and scientific research so weather dependent. By using an artificial neural network simulation, historical (Heroic Age) and modern weather data from manned and automated stations, placed at different locations of the Ross Ice Shelf, and the Ross Island, I have examined minimum near surface air temperatures. All modern meteorological data, as well as historical data of Cherry-Garrard, high correlations between temperatures at different locations, and artificial neural network retrodiction of modern and historical temperature data, point out the oddity of Captain Scott's temperature recordings from February 27 – March 19, 1912. I was able to show that in this period the actual minimum near surface air temperature was on the average about 13F(7C) above that reported by Captain Scott and his party. On the basis of the mentioned evidence I concluded that the real minimum near surface air temperature data was altered by Lt. Bowers and Captain Scott to inflate and dramatize the weather conditions.

Why love turns to hate
August 21, 2017 Leave a comment
Love can become a fertile ground for the emergence of hate. When the intensity and intimacy of love turns sour, hate may be generated. In these circumstances, hate serves as a channel of communication when other paths are blocked, and it functions to preserve the powerful closeness of the relationship, in which both connection and separation are impossible.

Finally, a mainstream health expert says what I've been saying for about 20 years. 80% of all chronic diseases could be ended tomorrow by simply using what we already know about a healthy diet.
Yet we don't do that. Why?
There are many reasons, but one of the biggest is that everyone keeps arguing about exactly what a healthy diet is or is not. Which is stupid. We already know.
The arguments I've seen on men's fitness and bodybuilding blogs and forums are literally the most insane things I've seen on the entire internet (and that's saying a lot when you add politics in there). On every fitness issue, 50% think one way, the other 50% think the exact opposite, both sides can point to credible links to back up what they say, and everyone screams that "My advice is right and yours is stupid."
Like he says in the video, "Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants." That just about covers most of health right there. Of course there are a few other items like avoid high glycemic carbs and sugar, be physically active, eat more protein if you're lifting, and a few other basics. But as soon as we venture out of that fundamental area, it's damn near impossible to get good advice quickly because everyone even a little knowledgeable in these areas are too busy screaming at each other.

A very Happy New Year to you all!
As a New Year's resolution let's all try to decorate our kitchen with flowers. I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen and I'm sure you all do too. Why not add some fresh flowers to create a happy, relaxing, and motivating atmosphere. Adding flowers don't have to be fancy. I even pick the small flowers from my garden when available, but just having the colors makes our kitchen brighter and cheerful. Since we are going to be in our kitchens, we might as well enjoy the time. This is a tip I give my students in my cooking lessons, to make the kitchen more than just a working space.
Here is an idea for a New Year's arrangement that I want to share with you. This is a small Japanese lacquer vase that I always have hanging in my kitchen. This one is from Japan but you can find similar vase in Japanese or Asian shop or any pottery shop. It doesn't have to be a hanging vase if you don't have a place to put one. You can use a small standing vase on a shelf, window, or the counter. To make a Japanese style flower arrangement for New Years, I arrange the colors of red, white and green. These colors represent Japanese New Year's celebration. I used the chrysanthemum (Fuji mum) for the green, winterberries for the red, and some small white mums to complete that Japanese New Year's look.
It is always nice to have flowers in the place we spend a lot of our time. Let's keep adding flowers to our kitchen and enjoy our cooking time!

Melbourne's Trusted Pre Sale Inspections
It is the ultimate aim of every home seller to ensure that their property is shown in the best possible light to potential buyers.
Unfortunately, it is not always easy to achieve this goal for a variety of reasons such as limited time, cost of repairs and similar restrictions. This sometimes results in the seller trying to hide possible defects within the property which, if unearthed by a potential purchaser, only portrays the vendor in a bad light.
The most effective way to fully minimise this possibility is to be straight forward with any potential buyer.
How our pre sale building report can assist
When you contact us to arrange a presale building report you have an advantage by:
– Identifying and detailing any maintenance or defect issues
– Secure the confidence of a potential buyer
– Leave room for negotiation in the final price before you actually go to the market
– Enhance the reasons why a perspective buyer can make a fast decision
– Reduce the decision time necessary for the buyer by eliminating his need to obtain his own reports.
Benefits of our comprehensive inspection
When you show a prospective buyer a copy of our detailed Building and Pest inspection reports, then you are indicating to that buyer you have absolutely nothing to hide.
By purchasing our Combined Building and Pest Inspection in Melbourne and providing a copy of this to the purchaser, you are encouraging that purchaser to make an early offer which would not be conditional on receiving further satisfactory building reports.
If conducted early enough, you will also find yourself in a position to repair some of the defects before allowing buyers to inspect your property. Not only will this increase the chances of a higher offer, but it will remove the headache of having to negotiate a lower price on account of any remaining defects.
Contact our team today for a free quote
Call our Alan, our Chief Inspector now on 0424 259 408 and he will arrange for the inspection of your Melbourne property to be completed within 24 hours.

After a one week break, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross hits its home stretch and the final three stops of the 2013 season. The year would not be complete without a visit to the historic Unadilla Raceway in New Berlin, New York, and after a morning of qualifying, we have a rough idea of what to expect. A new section of the obstacles has been added to the track, and rain has hammered the area leading up to today, which will make the already challenging course even more technical.
250 Timed Qualifying
New championship points leader Eli Tomac crushed the field in qualifying, and the GEICO Honda rider laid down the fastest time of the day in either class with a 2:15.590. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Blake Baggett was second highest on the charts, but was still down nearly three seconds to Tomac's time with a 2:18.252. Unadilla typically caters to riders familiar with the GP scene and its muddy, rutted course in practice allowed Zach Osborne to post a 2:19.198 lap and claim third. Ken Roczen and Jason Anderson finished off the top-five, respectively. Both Shane McElrath and Matt Bisceglia made their professional debuts today, with McElrath 17th fastest and Bisceglia 21st. Fellow rookie Cooper Webb will sit out today's racing after suffering an arm injury.
1. Eli Tomac 2:15.590
2. Blake Baggett 2:18.252
3. Zach Osborne 2:19.198
4. Ken Roczen 2:19.245
5. Jason Anderson 2:19.280
450 Timed Qualifying
Ryan Villopoto put in the fastest lap time of the 450 class aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki, notching a 2:16.323 lap in his final session of the day. Taking second was home state hero Justin Barcia, who posted a 2:17.837 on his Team Honda Muscle Milk machine. After weeks of turmoil, Mike Alessi was able to put his head down and put in the third-fastest time of the morning on his MotoConcepts bike, and X Games gold medalist Justin Brayton was fourth fastest. Ryan Dungey finished out the top-five, with a 2:18.987.
1. Ryan Villopoto 2:16.323
2. Justin Barcia 2:17.837
3. Mike Alessi 2:18.785
4. Justin Brayton 2:18.977
5. Ryan Dungey 2:18.987

The Army has ordered its network managers to give soldiers access to social media sites like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, Danger Room has learned. That move reverses a years-long trend of blocking the web 2.0 locales on military networks.
Army public affairs managers have worked hard to share the service's stories through social sites like Flickr, Delicious and Vimeo. Links to those sites featured prominently on the Army.mil homepage. The Army carefully nurtured a Facebook group tens of thousands strong, and posted more than 4,100 photos to a Flickr account. Yet the people presumably most interested in these sites — the troops — were prevented from seeing the material. Many Army bases banned access to the social networks.
An operations order from the Army's 93rd Signal Brigade to all domestic Directors of Information Management, or DOIMs, aims to correct that. Issued on May 18th "for official use only," the document has not been made public until now.
It is "the intent of senior Army leaders to leverage social media as a medium to allow soldiers to 'tell the Army story' and to facilitate the dissemination of strategic, unclassified information," says the order, obtained by Danger Room. Therefore, "the social media sites available from the Army homepage will be made accessible from all campus area networks. Additionally, all web-based email will be made accessible."
The operations order (OPORD) doesn't apply to all GI Bases overseas, or those run by the other armed services, which aren't affected by the decree. Nor does the order overturn the long-standing, military-wide ban on sites like MySpace, YouTube and Pandora. And it's almost certain some Army posts that still block the now-approved web 2.0 networks. Still, it's a click in the right direction for the armed service which seems to be making a slow but steady recovery from its lingering hostility towards social media.
The full OPORD, after the jump.

It's a hackneyed phrase, but true: A picture's worth a thousand words. So it is with satellite imagery. Like most pilots, a check of satellite views is among the first steps in my preflight weather briefings. There's a lot of information there, and much of it is fairly intuitive. Even so, there are strengths and limitations.
The most common images are those from the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) series. GOES satellites rotate at the same rate Earth does, so they remain over fixed positions in their 22,300-mile-high orbits. For maximum coverage of the hemisphere, there are two such satellites—GOES-13 and GOES-15—which are stationed along the equator at 75 and 135 degrees West, respectively. The sounders aboard these satellites are tuned to various wavelengths, which correspond to the channels providing the three most common sources of information.
As the name implies, the visible channel provides imagery in the visible spectrum. It's similar to what you might see if you were an astronaut looking down on Earth.
The good: Visible imagery is very good at showing reflected light. This means that the higher and thicker the clouds, the brighter they will appear. Well-developed thunderstorm clouds show up very well. Visible imagery also can clearly show the leading edges and boundaries of frontal systems, and make identification of a number of different cloud types possible—such as fair-weather cumulus, stratus, cloud streets, and clouds associated with mountain-wave activity.
The not-so-good: If skies are clear and snow is on the ground, this can fool the unwary into thinking low clouds are present. Look for river and stream patterns to confirm the presence of snow. Also, higher cloud shields and bands block the view of any lower cloud layers. Another drawback—and it's a big one—is that visible imagery is dependent on sunlight, meaning that the times around sunrise and sunset will give less definitive views of clouds. And if it's night, you're completely out of luck. The picture will be totally dark.
The infrared channel is keyed to temperature. The colder the clouds, the brighter the returns, which are shown with color contours to help identify the coldest cloud tops. Colder surfaces are given the brightest colors, and warmer surfaces are given darker colors.
The good: Because temperatures decrease with altitude, we can infer that the highest clouds and the most severe thunderstorms will have the coldest tops. These are easily identified on an infrared image. In the absence of visible imagery at night, infrared is a fairly good stand-in.
The not-so-good: If cold clouds happen to be in thin layers, and Earth's surface is cold, then some of that terrestrial radiation can pass through those thin cloud layers. The satellite averages out the radiation from the cloud tops and the ground, and the result is a picture that can show cloud tops warmer and lower than they really are. And while infrared is nice to have at night, it does a lousy job of detecting low clouds and fog because the radiating temperatures of any low clouds can be the same as those of the nearby ground.
Water vapor
The water vapor channel detects the emission and absorption of Earth's emitted radiation by water vapor—which, to get technical about it, happens right around the 6.7-micron wavelength. The channel shows water vapor in the atmosphere with shades of white or gray; drier air appears as black areas.
The good: Day or night, the water vapor channel shows moisture distribution patterns associated with fronts and low pressure. In animated views, it's easy to see the progress of large-scale weather events, so water vapor imagery is helpful in observing and forecasting them.
The not-so-good: Because the satellite looks for water vapor's quite narrow wavelength, any high-altitude concentrations will block out the signatures of any lower-level concentrations—or clouds, for that matter. You could have a situation where a black zone of drier air appears on water vapor imagery, but an infrared or visible view shows clouds in the same area. Yes, thanks to gravity, water vapor concentrations drop with altitude, but it's still there nonetheless—just in lower concentrations. For this reason, water vapor imagery is best at depicting water vapor in the middle altitudes, say from 10,000 to 25,000 feet.
Playing on each image's strengths, it's best to use satellite views in combination. Use visible imagery to determine if clouds are thick or thin. Use infrared to tell how high they are. Use water vapor to watch for system movements and the rise and fall of moisture inflows and outflows.

Green Tea
The weight loss promoting effects of green tea are well-known, but the health benefits of drinking green tea are more varied than that. Indeed, evidence suggests that green tea may also help prevent pancreatic cancer as well as other types of cancer. In one large-scale study researchers found that those who drank the most tea were significantly less likely to develop pancreatic cancer than those who drank little green tea. This effect was more pronounced among women than men — those women who consumed the most green tea were half as likely to develop pancreatic cancer as those who drank little tea. Men who drank the most tea had a 37% lower risk of developing pancreatic cancer. These protective effects are likely to be linked to the high concentration of catechins found in green tea. Catechins are phytochemical compounds that are known to be highly effective at protecting cells against DNA damage caused by free radicals. Catechins have also been shown to suppress urokinase, a type of enzyme that is thought to play a key role in cancer cell metastasis (spreading). When buying green tea, choose loose tea leaves instead of tea bags as the release of catechins is better from loose leaves. You may also want to add a bit of citrus juice rich in vitamin C to your tea — research suggests that vitamin C can make the catechins in green tea more available for the body to absorb.

Dear Editor: That was a beautiful tribute John Nichols wrote honoring Dick Cates.
I would like to add a grace note that should be part of Dick's history. He served only one term in the state Assembly, but that was his choice. He had gotten to the Assembly by defeating the incumbent Carroll Metzner. Metzner was the author of the famous "Metzner bill," which had the effect of temporarily banning construction of Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace, and that accounted for Metzner's loss.
Cates was immediately placed on the Joint Finance Committee, a rare honor for a freshman, and that was where we got acquainted. In those days all Joint Finance meetings were in executive session (no reporters allowed), so a lot of things were said that never made the papers.
I remember vividly the day, well into the session, when Dick referred to the inconsequential subjects that were being discussed. He said, "You know, I don't mind working on things that are important, but this stuff is just baloney."
I don't remember what happened after that, but I do remember that Dick did not run for re-election. I believe that was the day he made the decision.

Natural selection is one of the two major forces which drive evolution of species, morphs and phenotypes. However, due to the confounding effects of environmental stochasticity, replication at the taxon level is needed for better understanding the influence and importance of natural selection in evolutionary biology. Parallel evolution events, in which related taxons independently evolve similar traits, provide a useful framework to investigate the mechanisms of adaptation using powerful new genomic and transcriptomic tools.
In the paper "Adaptation in the age of ecological genomics: insights from parallelism and convergence", Kathryn Elmer and Axel Meyer reviewed examples of parallel evolution in natural populations of non-model species and compared the genetic bases of their adaptive traits. Inspired by the hypotheses that parallel phenotypes share homologous genetic bases, they investigated the advances allowed by new genomic technique in the field of adaptive evolution. Understanding genetic origins and mechanisms of phenotypic changes will raise insights into the opportunities for species to adapt under ecological pressure.
The authors proposed a classification for the nature of genetic variations leading to similar phenotypes among three levels: homologous mutation at the same nucleotides, homologous mutation in the same gene at different nucleotide and non-homologous mutation in different genes. Mutations participating to any of these categories can be part of the genetic standing variation, the pool of old mutations already present in ancestral population or may have appeared de novo after parallel evolution begun.
The new emerging genomic methods will be very useful in identifying variation responsible for adaptation because they allow broad analyses at the population level without a priori hypotheses, unlike the older but reliable methods focusing on candidate genes. Efficient mapping of phenotypes now permits identification of genome parts involved, and loci under selection can be tracked through genome scans.
The compilation of studies using molecular and geographical wide methods on different species or complexes revealed that parallel evolution of phenotypes is driven by all categories of mutations, at same or different genes. A representative example is provided by studies of coat coloration in mice species of genus Peromyscus. Unless these first results need to be supported by other studies, it suggests that a broad variety of genetic mechanisms may are responsible for parallel evolution and a clear pattern is still to emerge. Despite this large evolutionary potential, the phenotypic response seems limited by morphological and developmental constraints, suggesting there is no tight couple between genetic bases and phenotypes. Until now, the focus on this king of mapping between genotypes and phenotypes may have clouded the genetic variability newly emphasised by genomics methods.
Accordingly with authors' view, our discussion firstly focused on the absence of clear pattern revealed by the review. New genomic methods are emerging and have been only applied a few times in studies of parallel adaptation. In fact, nearly all studies carried so far are reviewed here, laying the basis for future research. The conclusions, emphasizing the complexity of mechanisms, raised questions about the pertinence of knowing precisely which genes are responsible for adaptation. However, the main question the authors set does not much concern the proximal mechanisms, but the complexity of these mechanisms: a constant pattern in the causes driving adaptation may be interpreted as a determined strategy of Nature allowing for the evolution of parallel phenotypes. On the other hand, random mechanisms would reflect an important role of stochasticity in this process of evolution.
The proposed classification for nucleotides changes discriminates between mutations happening in same or different genes. This last option potentially affects phenotypes through an extensive amount of mechanistic patterns of expression and/or regulation, in contrast to the other categories. We thus discussed the relevance of splitting it in two according that the mutated genes have similar functions or not. Also debated was the relevance of grouping the two categories of mutations happening on the same gene, considered as unlikely to happen in parallel evolution. However, homologous mutation at the same nucleotide would be more likely to be due to standing genetic variation than to de novo mutation, and it is worth making the difference.
The possibilities of building tests for the basis of parallel adaption were discussed, in light of the experiment about foxes' domestication conducted in Siberia during the last 50 years. Such long lasting experiment reveals that evolution may be relatively quick under stringent selective conditions in evolved animals. However, more realistic tests would preferentially use bacteria to produce results quicker.
I am personally not familiar with new genomics methods, having a more traditional background of searching for candidate genes. The main impact of the review is thus emphasizing on the power of these democratizing methods. I believe it is important to focus researchers' attention on emerging new methodologies as soon as possible in order to boost advances in comprehension of evolution.

Launching "B&W and read around the world"
We have flushed out the details and are pleased to announce the launch of this exciting project. For the sake of simplicity, we will start with phase one, getting the book from here in NYC to stickybits offices in SF. The only rule is that you can't put the book in the mail. We are reaching out to the neigh*borrow and stickybits communities for the very first borrower and all subsequent borrowers!
**UPDATE - THE BOOK IS IN LA. Dembo is getting antsy, help the book travel up the coast to SF!
The book is in Irvine Ca, from NYC! After phase 1 is complete we have borrowers lined up from SF, to SEATTLE, to ALASKA, then around the world she goes!

text: If you pay close attention to every last detail at fashion week, you will have noticed that watches are having a major moment right now. In fact, some fashion insiders have taken to wearing two or three watches, proving that these functional timepieces are just as much an accessory as a bracelet. On that note, we were pretty excited to discover that Chris Benz has teamed up with Swiss watchmaker Movado on a collection of fun watches. You can choose between four colors—ocean green, camel, purple, and electric blue—or opt for something a little more classic with the limited edition black piece. The entire Chris Benz for Movado collection is available now at Movado.com. Each watch retails for $550.

MIAMI (AP) Dwyane Wade was on the basketball court early Wednesday to take on a couple critics who thought it was a good idea to challenge the Miami Heat guard.
His kids lost.
''We played a lot of different games,'' Wade said. ''I had to come back from behind in one of them.''
Their before-school backyard game was on the court adorned in Marquette colors at their home, and it'll be the last time Wade plays in friendly surroundings for the next couple weeks. Wade and the struggling Heat start a five-game trip in Portland on Thursday, beginning a stretch that could help turn things around or just add to their tailspin.
''The only thing I do know,'' Wade said, ''is it can't get any worse.''
Miami (15-20) is clinging to the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference and this trip isn't exactly filled with easy games. Portland (27-8) had the NBA's second-best record entering Wednesday's action, and that game is followed by matchups against the Los Angeles Clippers (currently 23-12), the Los Angeles Lakers (11-24), Golden State (an NBA-best 27-5) and Sacramento (14-20).
''You don't want to come back from this road trip and be 10 games under .500,'' Wade said.
That's his way of saying what awaits is a challenge.
''A great challenge,'' Wade said. ''These teams are playing very well and we haven't played that well. So it's time for us to go out there and just play basketball and not have to worry about the pressure of losing games at home. ... Now that goes away. It's not going to be easy at all, but we can just focus on the game and whatever it takes to win.''
Somewhat strangely, the Heat are better on the road (8-8) than at home (7-12), which is one of the reasons why they are fighting this uphill battle in the standings. They have shot a tiny bit better on the road than in Miami so far this season, average nearly three more assists per game, one fewer turnover and score at roughly the same clip.
But even with LeBron James back in Cleveland and this roster looking nothing like the ones that went to the last four NBA Finals, Heat center Chris Bosh thinks opponents still have Miami circled as an important game.
''For sure, absolutely,'' Bosh said. ''Guys want to get their just due, man.''
This trip is an annual tradition of sorts, coinciding with the circus' annual stop at Miami's home arena. It might not have the same cache as San Antonio's annual rodeo trip or the road swings that the Clippers and Lakers make when they're displaced from Staples Center by awards shows, but it's been valuable to Miami in the past.
Bosh, Wade and coach Erik Spoelstra all spoke Wednesday of the opportunity that Miami has on this trip to bond, since the team will be together for nearly two full weeks.
''I want to bond and win,'' Bosh said. ''I don't want to just bond.''
NOTES: The Heat recalled G Shabazz Napier from their NBA Development League affiliate in Sioux Falls. ... Spoelstra said Miami made the decision to waive G Andre Dawkins earlier this week for roster flexibility, though cautioned that no move was imminent to fill the lone open spot on the team's 15-player list.

Dear SEC Commissioners,
Please do not give in to industry pressures on Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the Cardin-Lugar Amendment) - and make sure that ALL companies are covered, every country and every project gets reported, and loopholes that would allow large sums of money to go unreported are closed.
My Comment:
Section 78m(q)(2)(A) requires you to issue final rules that require each resource extraction issuer to disclose the designated types of payments to any foreign government (or foreign-government-owned or -controlled entity) or to the U.S. government. Your statutory obligation is clear. Please do not issue regs that lessen the obligations on the resource extraction issuers!

It's true, that deep, beautiful voice will be flowing into our ears again! Lance Bass revealed on his Instagram that he has completed his debut single "Walking On Air" which will be released in the first week of January.
OK! News: Listen to the 30 most underrated pop songs
He hit the studio with Australian artist/DJ/producer Anise K and producer KC Porter for the dance pop song that is only giving us more motivation for 2014 to get here, and quickly. If you listened closely while watching the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, you may have even heard a little snippet of the song without realizing it. Sneaky! Plus, Lance is working on the music video this week. Let's hope we'll get to see some more of Lance on his toes as we do in the photo above which he shared on the Instagram post, "( and yes that's how a bass singer hits high notes , on his toes)".
Listen to what Lance had to say about the new single on his SiriusXM Dirty Pop Live show last night and why he jumped on the song before Rihanna could get her ears on it:

Colon Cleansing Can Lead To Natural Weight Loss?
Is your waistline expanding to new dimensions every year no matter how much you exercise or how many diets you go on? If you try but cannot lose weight, maybe the problem is related to an unhealthy colon that is full of waste build up and bacteria. A thorough colon cleansing can eliminate bacteria, parasites, and unwanted waste build up, bringing your colon back to its natural healthy state.
A healthy colon functions at an optimal level, maintaining the electrolytes that your body needs as well as absorbing the water that is necessary for your body to function properly. In fact, if your colon isn't healthy or functioning properly, this can have a negative effect on the rest of your body's organs. In turn, this will have a negative impact on your quality of life. Not only will you not feel as good as you should, but also, your body won't process nutrients and minerals properly, resulting in a lower level of energy.
Lower levels of energy mean that you will be less active and prone to gaining weight. After all, how can you lose weight if you do less and ingest your normal calorie intake? With a thorough colon cleansing, your body will regain its ability to absorb important nutrients, minerals, and water.
Plus, the cleansing of your colon will remove waste build up, toxins, bacteria, and parasites that can lead to a sense of sluggishness, irregularity, or disease. Once your foods are processed properly and your bowels are restored to proper functioning, your level of energy should increase, allowing you to become more active, burn more calories, and lose weight effectively.
Eating a balanced diet full of healthy things such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can reduce difficulties in controlling weight. If you want to maintain a clean and healthy colon after a colon cleanse, eating a healthy diet will help to do so. Moreover, implementing a healthy lifestyle will help you to lose weight because of better nutritional value, lower calorie intake, and an increased activity level. Modifying your diet and reducing unhealthy food intake as you experience the beneficial effects of a colon cleanse will help you to drop pounds and inches.
A flatter stomach is the result of weight loss gained through a healthy diet, exercise, and a clean colon. Everyone wants to look and feel his or her best. A colon cleansing can produce both of those things. A clean colon allows people to experience fewer uncomfortable conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, severe gas, and bloating. Plus, a healthy colon eliminates waste material daily, keeping the body in prime condition. This helps to reduce the build up of waste materials and bacteria that can prevent you from losing those extra pounds.
A healthy colon is essential to maintaining an excellent quality of life, keeping weight down, and feeling your best. Therefore, a colon cleanse might be necessary to restore the colon to a healthy condition and to restore your life to an optimal level of quality.

I'm saying all of that to say this. When you have teachers saying all of this bull@#*& about "I do…uhg!"
She paused as if she were finished. Then she continued.
Remember last week? That's where we left of with Ms. 21st Century Teacher. She was in the middle of reflecting on her frustrating professional development experience. This week we continue with her thoughts as promised.
A reminder from last week: this teacher is an effective one. She's skilled at engaging traditionally low performing students in critical thinking, and has the ability to excite students about learning. Ms. 21st Century Teacher works until 9PM weekday evenings and on Sundays to prepare for her students. She is no excuse maker. I mention her work ethic so that potential questions do not interfere with your empathy toward her. And so with that, here is the continuation of Confessions of a 21st Century Teacher.
"Yes. I know I'm rambling, but I just need to say it. I just need to say it because I can't say it here because I don't know who will go back and say something to the principal. But what I'm saying is this: at the end of the day if you have kids…" She breathed deeply to collect her thoughts, then explained, "Okay you know in third grade you have kids who should be around L, M, N, O, that's where they should be. I have kids in my class who really truthfully and honestly are reading at a Level D. They are no place close to an L or an M. Then I have kids that are reading on Level R—maybe four of them. And then I have a good chunk of them that are at an L…like bordering third grade reading level. How am I doing all of these other things?"
"How?" Now she escalated to a soft yell—the whisper yelling you do when you don't want to be heard.
"And this is not exclusive to me. There are other classes that have this too. So how? How are they doing all these other activities and these skills?" Ms. 21st Century Teacher leaned in toward me, clenched her hands and raised her shoulders as she heightened her intensity. "They can't really grasp a third grade sentence, but you're doing all of this stuff with them? She took a deep breath then exhaled. "No you're not. You're lying!"
As if in mid-thought she calmly asserted, "Because you really have to spend time breaking s@#t down and getting them to understand the fundamentals. And my top group? I take them to the next level with it."
She began imitating herself as if she were processing with her students saying, "Okay now you know how to answer a question and you do it in a very exquisite manner. Now I want you to start quoting where you get your information from and I want you to say 'In the text…my evidence in shown in the text in paragraph 2, sentence 1.' That's where I'm taking my upper level group. My middle group? I have to get you to answer the question properly. My lower level group? I just got to get you to answer it. I can't [ask you yet to] restate the question, answer, and give me a supporting detail. I'm just getting you to answer it. Just to find the answer. Then later on I'm going to start moving you to that next level.
She returned to the boasts of her colleagues. "These other teachers, they're lying. They're lying. They're not doing all of that."
"And I'm looking around and they are always posting s@#t–putting up, putting up, putting up." At this point she began imitating a frantic teacher putting up student work around the room.
And then she remembered. "Plus you know what? Every time a student does work, we have a thing where you…okay say the student does a drawing and you put up the drawing, you have to have a rubric for the drawing. "You've gotta have a task, the rubric, the standard and then every single drawing has to have a Post-it—she leaned forward to enumerate with her fingers for emphasis.—what they did right, what's the next step. That's art."
She listed even more with her fingers, "Social studies, math, science, ELA. Your're talking about 5 subjects and 30 kids—I'm lucky I got 28 this year—but 30 kids in your class and every single thing they do you have to do that. Every single thing they're doing?"
She rested in her chair and exhaled. "These teachers are in here lying."
"Can you imagine that?" The teacher moved her hands feverishly to imitate the gesture of dispensing materials as she exclaimed, "Post-it! They just did the math. Post-it! Post-it! Okay. Post! Okay. Here's the rubric."
"Can you imagine that?" She continued. "Not to mention, you have the new [vendor name deleted] system—which calls you to break up into table groups, then you have the guided reading –which calls you to break up into groups and take notes on that, oh and take notes on your [vendor name deleted], then you have your RTIs—take notes on them and put them into groups, then you have your math groups—break them up and you write notes on them, then you have your RTI math groups and you take notes on them. All these groups and you take notes, plus…."
She paused then leaned in, exhaled again and continued "They're lying. They're not doing all of this."
"And whoever thought 'Wow! They don't have enough to do. Let's make them take notes on every single thing they are doing,'—she said sarcastically –"they've never been in the classroom. And what they have contributed to is a bunch of manipulative, conniving, deceitful, wretched teachers.
"I know. I went off on a tangent. I just had to release that."
After allowing the teacher to vent, I reflected and I wondered about the instructional culture at her school as her principal views it. Then I wondered what other leaders had this teacher at their school—effective and fed up.

Have you ever considered what impacts your electronics have on the environment after they stop working or become obsolete? Not many people do, but in short, it's quite large. In 2010 alone, Americans generated about 384 million units of e-waste such as computers, televisions and cellphones, but only 19% of that was recycled. E-cycling, the reuse and recycling of electronic equipment, conserves natural resources such as copper and gold that require a tremendous amount of energy to mine and process while also keeping toxins such as lead, out of our landfills and groundwater.
Employees at the Center for Sustainable Energy in San Diego hosted a successful e-cycle event to rid their junk closets and garages of things like broken laptops, used batteries, burnt out light bulbs, televisions, monitors and other electronics containing heavy metals and caustic materials. They collected and recycled about 365 pounds of e-waste with an additional 35-40 pounds collected at CSE offices in Boston, Oakland and Los Angeles. In all, more than 400 pounds of e-waste was diverted from landfills and taken to a local electronics recycling center.
Inspired? Become an E-Cycler
Some stores will accept small amounts of used electronics such as batteries, lightbulbs and cellphones and may even recycle larger appliances, such as refrigerators and stoves for free (with the purchase and delivery of a new one). Find your nearest e-cycling center, at Earth911.com.
If everyone e-cycled one item per year, we could prevent over 83% of e-waste from ending up in a landfill.
The "Most Memorable E-Cycler" award went to Mr. Josh Erwin, marketing associate, for bringing in his previous 6 iPhones dating back to the days of the iPhone 2G.

Depression & Best Treatment Option
This content was STOLEN from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Mary a 26 year of age Caucasian female is referred to you for depression. Given the severity of her symptoms, you and the patient agree that she should be treated with a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Mary has never been treated for depression before, but her aunt Debbie was successfully treated with Imipramine (Tofranil) and was able to tolerate the side effects very well. As you take the medical history, Mary informs you that there is a history in her family of cardiac arrhythmias, and that her heart "flutters" once in a while when she feels anxious. Given only this information, the best course of action is:
1) Start Mary on Imiprimine (Tofranil). Chances are that this medication will work for her.
2) Start Mary on Imiprimine (Tofranil) but also suggest that she receive a cardiac workup.
3) Start Mary on a high dose of Citalopram (Celexa) to control both depression and anxiety, and you may also suggest that she receive a cardiac workup.
4) Start Mary on a low dose of Citalopram (Celexa) and you also suggest that she receive a cardiac workup.
Solution Summary
Given only the information in the scenario, the best course of action is chosen, along with an explanation of why it was chosen.

It would be great if you could add an option to a RAM drive properties to hide this drive when mounted. RAM drives are often used for swap files, caches, temporary buffers, and oftentimes they are not utilized for general data storage. In such cases, hiding the drive from Windows Explorer could help less savvy users avoid confusion (and data loss!), when using the system with RAM drives.
This can be done manually, but having it as a built-in feature should be relatively simple, and it would be more user-friendly than editing the registry every time an administrator makes adjustments to a RAM drive.
