I’m scared of Russian hockey players and NHL General Managers…

Toronto/Sarnia, ON This week was definitely the most interesting yet since my unfortunate return from Japan. That’s right, I said ‘unfortunate.’ I’m really starting to regret leaving the place where I had several steady paychecks for our struggling NHL-less economy! And from what I’ve seen/heard this week, I don’t think things will be changing anytime soon.

Last week Patrick Burke, one of the founders of the You Can Play Project, was nice enough to ask me to come out to the annual PrimeTime S&E Sports Management Conference in Toronto, and help hold down the You Can Play fort for the duration of the two day event. Maybe it was the fact that I was Vice President – Recruitment for my sorority in university (and I’d just like to add that I ran the most successful recruitment campaign my chapter had experience in nearly two decades OR has experienced since – thankyouverymuch!), but I obviously jumped all over this opportunity, as I absolutely LOVE working the trade show circuit, especially for such a good cause.

For those of you who didn’t catch my last post (sort of) about the You Can Play Project, then here’s a brief rundown. The You Can Play Project essentially aims to make the locker room a safer place for all athletes, where they can be judged solely on their skill, talent, and character, and not their sexual orientation. Of course, the root of the issue lies not (entirely) at the professional level, but at the amateur level where the young future stars of the game are often made to feel like they must give up their passion due to a hostile and homophobic atmosphere in the locker room.

As hockey fans, we all know that the chemistry in the locker room can be just as important as the chemistry on the ice. We have all seen what can happen when a guy comes along and disrupts that delicate balance for whatever reason i.e. sleeping with another player’s wife, and what that can do to the success of our club. While infidelity is obviously a fair reason for hostility in the locker room, a player’s sexual orientation is not. Hopefully with the work that the You Can Play Project is doing we will see more LGBT athletes in professional sport in the future.

And now back to me.

On Day 1 of the conference I had to leave after lunch, as I already had plans to be at the Subway Super Series game in Sarnia that night before being asked to come out to the event. Kind of wish I knew about the event earlier because it sounds like the last few hours of the day were quite interesting, and I think I may have rather been there for that, than to see Nail Yakupov make a return to his old barn. Anyway, the lunch was a bit revealing, I thought. Gord Miller emceed a panel discussion on the NHL Lockout, and when the crowd, which consisted of several heavy hitters in professional sport – including two NHL GMs, was asked if they thought there would NHL hockey this year, well, not very many people raised their hands (including me). Eep.

Lunch ended at 2PM, and I literally bolted out of the Westin Harbour Castle, site to many prior Psycho Lady indiscretions in seasons past, in hopes of narrowly missing the (now constant) rush hour traffic – I didn’t, by the way. Naturally it poured the entire way to Sarnia, too! I don’t think I have ever actually driven down the 402 in non-extreme weather conditions in my entire life. If it’s not a total white out, then it’s torrential rain, I guess!

I barely made it in time for the warm up, and actually sprinted across the parking lot to the front gates. Not missing the warm up is #2 on my list of rules for attending hockey games. Not leaving before the final buzzer is #1. I am also happy to report that RBC Centre was jammed that night. Last season, the place was practically empty the night former Sting player, Steven Stamkos, scored his 53rd NHL goal on his epic run for 60. It was the first round of the OHL playoffs, too, but my friend, a local, informed me that the fans in Chemical Valley are so disillusioned with the team, that they don’t usually bother showing up until the second round. Sarnia wouldn’t end up seeing second round action that year, unfortunately.

However, in Sarnia, everyone loves Yakupov! I should know. I was just lucky enough to be planted in the middle of a little-boy hockey team for the duration of the game. The kids must have been about 6 and 7 years olds, high on sugar, and under minimal parental supervision. Yeah, if there was still a small chance of me ever procreating, that’s definitely down the toilet now. Anyway, when the kids weren’t being totally obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious, then they would often scream at the big, red machine that was Team Russia, “BOO EVERYONE BUT YAKUPOV!!!!”

Team Russia was an intimidating presence on the ice, despite falling to Team OHL 2-1. I don’t know what it is about red uniforms, but I remember going to see the Red Wings back in the day, and as soon as they stepped onto the ice they were literally a big red machine, that instantly made their opponents seem much weaker and less organized. Team Russia is like that. They were visibly bigger, taller, and spicier than Team OHL. And I don’t feel creepy about saying that Yakupov is spicy, as the woman sitting next to me asked me if one of the Team OHL players was my boyfriend! So, obviously my assumed age was somewhere between 15 and 20! Clearly my 17 y/o disguise was a bigger success this season!

I thought the age thing was a fluke until I arrived back at the Westin for Day 2 of the conference. I noticed early that morning that people were speaking to me like I was a high school student needing to apply for universities this month. I was baffled, but then I remember that I darkened my hair again, and that always shaves off a few years. Who knew it would shave off so many, though?! Blondes may have more fun, but they also look worn out a lot faster!

Anyway, despite the fact that the agenda for Day 2 seemed a lot more fun than Day 1, it was a VERY slow day. Gary Bettman was scheduled to be the keynote speaker that afternoon, but, due to obvious circumstances, he had to withdraw from the conference, and I think many people withdrew right along with him.

I did slip away from the You Can Play booth that afternoon to sit in on the panel discussion about the use of Twitter, Facebook, and other forms of social media in professional sport. It wasn’t as interesting as it sounds, unfortunately. While I was in there, however, I had a brief run in with the Leafs GM, Brian Burke. If you didn’t know this (even I didn’t really know this until this week), if you are the GM of the Leafs, then you pretty much own all of Toronto. Brian Burke might as well be the mayor!

Anyway, as I was watching the discussion on social media, the GM had to pop out of the room for a bit, but not before giving me and my You Can Play shirt that hard, truculent Brian Burke stare that we all love here in Toronto. Brian Burke is the father of Patrick Burke, and so I naturally started to feel like I was getting the slacker stare down for leaving the booth unattended – even though they told us we could leave our booths during the actual discussions since everyone was in the conference hall anyway! It’s not my poor work ethic, I swear LOL!

I guess I learned this week that I draw the line at NHL coaches. You all know that NHL coaches don’t intimidate me, what with my brazen drink and dessert exchanges with them and such, but apparently GMs can still put the fear of God in me. It’s kind of nice to know that something still can!

Due to the absence of Gary, the event ended on an anticlimactic note, much like my love life SNAP! However, my week was still getting weirder. The week before a producer at MTV Canada had tracked me down, and asked me to come in and audition for a show she is producing. Well, you probably know how much I hate cameras, and how I would need a lot of coaxing to actually go on TV, but I did think it might be an interesting opportunity. After all, the reason I started this website was because I had interest from a TV producer/writer to turn the content of my book into a TV show or movie, and I thought this site would be a good way to keep the material flowing. Who knows if that show will ever happen, but I definitely thought I might like to feel these MTV people out a bit – not to be on their show, but just to talk shop a bit.

I had immediate regrets about my decision to head down to MTV after I was escorted into a room where four Jersey Shore wannabes, who clearly took this thing really seriously, were waiting to audition. Luckily, I was called in first. Three of the producers had assembled a massive document on essentially my best (or worst) Psycho Lady Hockey posts, tweets, and photos. Then they proceeded to bombard me with a whirlwind of questions like, “What’s a WAG whore!?” Unfortunately, my reconnaissance mission couldn’t even get off the ground in that atmosphere, but whatever. Oh and don’t go looking for me on MTV anytime soon. Even if I do “make the cut,” there’s no way in Hell I’m agreeing to go on TV!

Comparison of the ICD-10 PTSD Diagnosis With the DSM-IV Criteria

Comparison of the ICD-10 PTSD Diagnosis With the DSM-IV Criteria

The DSM-IV-TR is the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, with text revision added in 2000(1). The manual, published by the American Psychiatric Association, presents the criteria most widely used in the United States to classify mental disorders.

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the classification used since 1994 by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has become the international standard diagnostic classification for most general epidemiological purposes. The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders: Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Guidelines (2) provides international guidelines for the diagnosis of PTSD.

The DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 criteria for diagnosis of PTSD are similar but there are also some differences.

PTSD Diagnostic Criteria comparison chart

Both sets of diagnostic criteria for PTSD include a history of exposure to a traumatic event and symptoms from each of three symptom clusters. The symptom clusters include intrusive recollections, avoidant symptoms, and hyperarousal symptoms. Both also include a criterion concerning duration of symptoms. The ICD-10 does not specify a functioning criterion, as does DSM-IV-TR (Criterion F).

The ICD-10 criteria are outlined below, with differences from DSM-IV-TR noted.

Criterion A: stressor

Exposure to a stressor. Unlike DSM there is no subjective stressor criterion (A2).

Criterion B: re-experiencing

Persistent remembering of the stressor in one (as is true in the DSM-IV-TR) of:

  • Intrusive flashbacks
  • Vivid memories or recurring dreams
  • Experiencing distress when reminded of the stressor

Criterion C: avoidance

Requires only one symptom of actual or preferred avoidance. DSM-IV-TR requires three symptoms from this cluster, and includes both numbing and avoidance symptoms whereas the ICD-10 does not.

Criterion D: hyperarousal

Either D1, or two of D2. DSM-IV-TR requires two symptoms from this entire hyperarousal cluster).

D1: Inability to recall

D2: Two or more of:

  • Sleep problems
  • Irritability
  • Concentration problems
  • Hypervigilance
  • Exaggerated startle response

Criterion E:

Onset of symptoms within six months of the stressor. This differs from DSM-IV-TR, which specifies symptom duration of greater than one month.

I think we should be objecting to the use of the terms "Islamism" and "Islamicism" used to describe the small fraction of observant Muslims who engage in terrorism. The problem is in the implication that anyone whose main ideology is centered on Islamic religious beliefs is somehow complicit in fanaticism or terrorism.

Daniel Pipes is one of the key pundits promoting this term, but I am seeing the terms more frequently in mainstream reports.

You can see the language problem in terms of relative usage. If "Islamicism" is Muslim fanaticism, then is "Judaism" thus Jewish fanaticism? I think not.

An "ism" is just a belief structure. Being an observant Muslim or even a "fundamentalist" Muslim does not mean that one supports theocracy or violence.

Those who perpetrated the terrorist attacks on the WTC towers and the Pentagon may turn out to be Fundamentalist Muslim zealots, but note that it takes three words to even approach an accurate description. Phrases such as demonizing apocalyptic fundamentalist, theocratic authoritarian, religious totalitarian, even clerical fascist, can be appended to any religion to describe the most zealous and violent adherents.

Let's not spread bigotry through careless use of language. "Islamism" and "Islamicism" are inherently bigoted terms.

Purdue signature

David Pike

David Pike (Hall of Music operating), Carol Baunach (Purdue Police Department) and many others: In early March, I lost a re-designed family heirloom ring that is worth a lot, not only monetarily, but sentimentally. I thought I lost it at the Sports Rec Center, but it turned out that I lost it at Elliott Hall of Music. I emailed the Purdue Police Department, and Carol Baunach responded that I should contact Central Lost and Found. I went to Central Lost and Found armed with a picture of my ring. The person there came back with an envelope, the picture and with something "that looks like the same ring." My jaw dropped! There was the ring! I put two and two together when I found that David Pike, who gave the ring to a Purdue police officer, was at Elliott. I had been to see the Joffrey Ballet with a friend and took my ring off while I knitted waiting for her. David said that the ring passed through many hands on its way to Central Lost and Found. Thanks to all of the honest, wonderful people involved in my ring finding its way back home! -- Sara Behnke (Procurement Services)

Inside RAC… Toilet Paper

It will take me a while to follow up on all the presentations I’ve visited during UKOUG06 and photos I’ve taken. One of the best presentations was Inside RAC from Julian Dyke. Have a look.

COLLABORATE 07, Hubble Telescope and Hana

UKOUG 2006 is over and I was planning to finally provide a bit more details about it. I got a reminder that today is the last day to send IOUG abstracts. Since I planned to submit an abstract there – I rushed in and filled out two proposals based on responses I’ve got from my UKOUG presentations.

UKOUG 2006 Day 2+

Interesting was the Anti-Tuning RAC round-table with conclusion that more or less majority is running RAC because they have way too much money/time/hardware/name it.

Backwards 1 Day 2006 UKOUG

I can’t say a lot about presentations I went to as my head was completely empty after my 3 sessions. Last session was on Oracle Streams CDC – I am still not sure what the added value of CDC compare to regular Streams functionality. But the truth is I couldn’t think about anything else but Guinness at that point…

Level 1 Incremental Backup in Oracle 10g

While reviewing some material in advance of my presentation at UKOUG Conference 2006, I found an interesting change in RMAN behavior in Oracle 10g. The difference is in the way RMAN handles the case when an incremental level 1 backup is taken without an available level 0 backup. This probably won’t affect anyone much, but I found it interesting. And actually, there are scenarios in which it might cause issues.

Oracle Data Pump Can’t Import LONG Columns

If you are using Oracle Data Pump to backup tables containing LONG or LONG RAW columns, then you might be surprised when trying a recovery. Well, you tested it already. Didn’t you? ;-) Right now I’m in the middle of a production migration. Earlier this week while testing this migration, I noticed couple strange errors during Data Pump import:

Oracle Data Pump Schema Export and Public Synonyms

While testing a migration, I figured out that schema export using Data Pump doesn’t capture public synonyms on the objects in this schema. Does anyone know how to make Data Pump include public synonyms with schema export? Update: This is actually the same behavior as old Export utility.

Myster Anur is tolerable if you either prep the piercing ward or use a pure spellcaster; you can reduce the additional magic resistance pretty fast with her when you're going to fireball your way through the game anyway. At least for single-layer dungeons, as the boon doesn't work on other layers.
Also, your view on penalties from the various gods will change greatly over time and as you find prefered strategies.
As you can see, Darvin as a respectable vet for expample is pretty stingy with his inventory space and has JJ as favourite diety; I on the other hand more often play not as serious as I propably should and therefore don't mind giving up that slot for a quick casual run as I propably wouldn't use it anyway and don't use JJ effectively, although I know how strong she is.
It also makes a difference whether you can remedy the effect or if it stays for the entire game; the former feels much less punishing.
But most often, given the necessary gold, the consesus is that you simply get the extra altar and gamble that you get what you want without taking any penalties, restarting when not.

Gotcha... I hadn't even considered that you could defuse MA's penalty. Was too hung up on the whole "You want me to pay money for that?!" aspect. Still, I suspect I'll be part of the "this is intolerable!" camp for most of 'em, just as a kneejerk reaction.

GG, TT, and Dracul are so horrible I could never see using them. Having JJ when you first enter the dungeon is a huge benefit, but his penalty is also pretty devastating. I'm inclined to play with 4 altars and gamble on finding JJ early. Binlor and Mystera aren't bad if you plan very carefully. Earthmother also requires careful planning, but she's generally not worth the hastle. Taurog is the only deity with a penalty you can shrug off, which is good because when playing with preparations he's a complete joke unless Pactmaker also spawns...

They really should nerf those penalties. Perhaps making GG's lower enemies give half exp or no exp, Drac's only 1 hp per level, and TT's no gold piles spawn. MA's is fine, and Binlor's is too. EM is interesting, but I haven't tested it enough to give an opinion, and Taurog's great if you want to make sure you'll win a normal dungeon.

I speak chaos.

[OFFICIAL] FAQ about forums, contacts, game -- read first :)

Postby Nandrew on Sat Jun 11, 2011 8:30 am

A: Fear not! Get a hold of us via info@qcfdesign.com for crash reports, account inquiries and all that other madness which raises its head during beta. We promise we won't bite you!

Q: Uh, I don't know the answer to your forum signup challenge.
A: The animal you're looking for also happens to be an admin bot on our forums who posts the weekly update thread. Lurk for a lil' and you'll find it. :)

Q: Okay, signed in, but my forum posts aren't showing up! Do you hate me?
A: Patience, young goatslayer! We have a manual approval system for first-time posters to avoid spambot flux and obviously trolling and whatnot. It may take a day or two to approve your first post, depending on when we check the forums to see it. Smooth sailing after that, though.

Q: Will you make an iPhone/Android/PC/Mac/BlackBerry/Croissant/Hobo/Linux version of the game?
A: PC/Mac, web, iPhone and Android: Yes! Everything else, no. Unless Unity starts supporting baked goods as a platform. Console support is something that’s outside of our hands, it depends on platform owners and all that sort of complicated stuff – we just want to get the game out there.

Q: Is Desktop Dungeons going to be on Steam?
A: We’re planning to get on Steam as soon as we possibly can. So, barring any horrible mishaps, yes. And Steam are pretty cool about translating pre-orders into Steam keys, too.

Q: I see the Beta is running in my browser. What gives?
A: The Beta is going to be changing very often, as we update is with bug fixes and new content. To prevent us from having to send out endless patches, we’re going to keep it on the web during the beta phase, making roll-out much easier. Once the full is launched, there will be a stand-alone and a web client, and your save games will persist across both (given internet access)

Q: This game is great! How can I give you guys money?
A: There’s this “buy” link on the main site. Click it!

Q: Will you fix X, Y or Z in the freeware version?
A: No. Those things are all fixed in the full game. We had to rewrite everything anyway.

Q: This is way too hard, how do I stop dying?!
A: There’s a forum! There’s a wiki! There are even helpful videos.

If You Call Tom Cruise Gay, Scientologists May Dig Through Your Trash

On March 9th 2005, South Park creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker aired an episode called “Trapped in the Closet” in which Stan learns the secrets of the Church of Scientology right before Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and R. Kelly not-so-subtely lock themselves in Stan’s closet. According to former Scientology executive Martin Rathbun, the church didn’t like this episode so much and began digging through Stone and Parker’s garbage to try and find some PR dirt on the two soon afterwards.

Rathburn claims to have a 2006 letter from the church that details the “PRC” (public records check) conducted by the church on Stone, Parker, and their friends. He even says that the Church went so far as to dig through their trash (or as the church calls it “auditing special collections”).

According to The Village Voice:

“Scientology’s standard procedure would be to put its private eyes on a complete check of these people and their property, legal, and other public records. If they owed taxes, or had been in messy divorces, or had been arrested, Scientology would soon know about it.”

You have to wonder what could possibly shame the two men who once featured a BDSM master shoving all of Paris Hilton into his ass.

Plus if the church gets this touchy over people implying that Tom Cruise is gay, are they also going through the trash of Tyler Spiers and Mike Rose, the guys who created Planet Unicorn?

      This is just the beginning of what Scientology does to its critics. I’ve been followed home by their staff, had threatening letters sent to my boss and dean of students when I was in college informing them that I was a domestic terrorist, and so much more.

      They’ve also got some interesting things to say about homosexuality. Gays and Lesbians rate a 1.1 on this scale of emotional development. All of this is referenced by The Science of Surival, by L. Ron Hubbard. I know i’ve got some assorted Policy Letters and Technical manuals (Green Books) around here somewhere, but I can’t be arsed finding them right now, so SoS it is:

      About people lower than 2.0 on the Tone Scale: “Rather than give psychotics such treatment it would be far kinder to kill them immediately and completely” (p. 157)

      “There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Sale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by unentrubulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow.”(pp 170-171)

      “No social order which desires to survive dares overlook its stratum 1.1’s. No social order will survive which does not remove these people from its midst.”(p 103)

      “The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they bring to any order, thus forcing it lower on the scale, or processing such persons until they have attained a level on the tone scale which gives them value.” (p 145)

      Some people don’t care if you know that they once claimed bankrupt, that you once were arrested and that you may like to suck dick every so often. Behold the power of those that cannot be silenced because of someone elses morality. It’s awesome. In this country if you call someone gay it is not illegal. It is the same as calling someone straight. Ms. Cruise will just have to move to Germany.

      The problem that the Scientologists don’t understand is the same problem that some people down south don’t get.

      If people aren’t ashamed or embarrassed there is nothing you can to to them.

      People don’t go into Scientology because they are stable or happy with their lives. They all have some issues in their past and can’t understand that most people couldn’t give a crap if you rifled through their trash and found out that they had Thai Food three times last week.

      All I need to know about scientology is that Cruise is a member.I already knew they were lunatics homophobic and the list goes on and on and on.But knowing Cruise is a member thats a whole new type of crazy for real.I do love seeing his Zombie stepford type wife Katie though im surprised she doesn’t smile and say I’m a robot can’t you tell ? :)

      I read Scientology doesn’t tolerate homosexuality and the so-called “church” even claims they can cure people of it.

      Of course, they look the other way when it comes to Tommy Boy and John Revolta because they make lots of money and Scientology requires a mandatory 10% tithe from members.

      Without Tommy Boy and John Revolta, Scientology would be very poor.

      This really isn’t a laughing matter.

      Scientology has a history of dangerous criminal behavior against critics.

      In 1976, Scientology’s Guardian Office [intel bureau] conspired “To get P.C. [Paulette Cooper, author of “The Scandal of Scientology”] incarcerated in a mental institution or jail, or at least to hit her so hard that she drops her attacks” by framing Ms Cooper as a zionist anti-Arab terrorist bomber and harassing her with 19 different lawsuits. Scientologists call this practice “The Fair Game Law.”

      The only reason the plan didn’t fully go into effect was because Scientology agents were caught burglarizing a courthouse pursuant to “Operation Snow White,” an effort to whitewash the public record founder L. Ron Hubbard. This operation is regarded as the single largest infiltration of the US government in American history, encompassing 5,000 agents of Scientology dispatched against 136 government agencies, various foreign government offices, and many other private organizations. Beyond infiltrating these offices by fraud, Scientology also illegally wiretapped targets and stole government documents.

      Scientology was subsequently indicted for “criminal campaigns of vilification, burglaries and thefts…against private and public individuals and organizations.” The FBI seized and released 48 thousand documents containing evidence of these dirty tricks campaigns.

      France has officially determined Scientology to be “a dangerous cult.” Belgium is considering bringing criminal charges against Scientology. Germany damn near banned Scientology.

      Scientologists are not content to dig through your trash. Scientologists are criminally insane.

      Read this a story about an actor some of you here may have heard of named Jason Beghe very gay friendly actor who USED to be with scientology.Until that is… well the story speaks for itself.If these people are for us and with us they sure as hell have a funny and distorted way of showing it period.

      Beghe says the proof that Scientology was no longer working for him came when he was almost killed in a car accident. After the L’s, he points out, that shouldn’t happen. “A clear isn’t supposed to have a car accident. You’re supposed to be practically immortal.”

      To the Scientologists, the accident was an indication that someone was “suppressing” Beghe. So they pulled him in for more interrogation.

      “What about this gay person you’re friends with,” Beghe says one official asked him, implying that somehow the gay friend was causing Beghe’s clear state to be sabotaged. When Beghe objected, he says the official responded, “Well, he’s gay.”

      Only an excerpt there is indeed more.

      3. Shameful!
      As a former Scientologist I can attest to the fact that L Ron Hubbard’s (con artist, look him up) teachings are entirely homophobic. In fact he had a homosexual son who he completely disowned and who died under mysterious circumstances .

      @Carlos: That link you have says Hubbard rescinded the policy. If that’s true, it’ll be in an HCO Bulletin/HCO PL, yes? I’ve got all my Red Books from 1950 to 1984, please tell me which policy letter has it. I just took a brief look through 1967,, and I couldn’t find it. I did however, see something in HCO BULLETIN OF 24 SEPTEMBER 1967 which indicates that seasickness is caused by being around Suppressive Persons.

      If Hubbard issued a policy letter cancelling or modifying an earlier one, it would be in the Red Books. Since it is not, then in accordance with HCO POLICY LETTER OF 22 NOVEMBER 1967 “OUT TECH”, which states “If at any time a supervisor or other person in an org gives you interpretations of HCOBs, Policy Letters or tells you, “That’s old. Read it but disregard it,” or gives you a chit for following HCOBs or tapes or alters tech on you or personally cancels HCOBs or Policy Letters without being able to show you an HCOB or Policy Letter that cancels it, YOU MUST REPORT THE MATTER COMPLETE WITH NAMES AND ANY

      You are now required to report yourself to Ethics for promoting a website which is squirreling the tech. Nice try, OSA Goon. Enjoy your downstat. How about sending Louanne next time? I like her.

      Note to other readers: Carlos is from Office of Special Affairs, the intelligence branch of Scientology. They have an entire division devoted to whitewashing their cult’s image on the internet. Unfortunately for him, I know the innards of Scientology well enough to expose his lies with actual evidence. If anyone else wants proof that the policy wasn’t rescinded in 1967 like the website claims, then the Red Books are all on Wikileaks, search for yourself.

    I found some sweet old children's embroidered blocks. I made them up into a quilt. I quilted around each design, and stipples in between. If the design had too large an area left open, I went back and added some interior quilting., whatever fit the design. I will try to remember to get a picture...

This is one of the easiest scrappy quilts to make. It's especially easy if you have a friend that likes to come over and sew strips together!  The outer border and backing are leftovers from another quilt. "Stacks of Coins' is one of the last quilts in the series for the retreat center in Arizona.

Work Dream

Latest work dream: I was trying to troubleshoot a professor’s computer, but because it was a dream, all of the text on the screen kept changing. So I told the prof. “This will be easier to fix when we’re awake” and then woke up.

License Plate Wisdom

There’s a travel game we play where you look at a license plate and reverse-construct an acronym to produce the letters in the plate number.

This is what led to this morning’s discussion about the Ventilation Monkeys.

The plate isn’t important anymore. What’s important is that there are tribes of wild monkeys living in the HVAC systems of many large buildings. They sneak out at night and steal pencils. They rearrange office furniture so that you always wind up with the chair with the squeaky seat. They make bananas in the break room turn brown.

Through fear.

The bananas turn brown out of fear of the ventilation monkeys. Now you know.

How To Sell to Local Professional Service Providers

One-hour, Live Online Webinar
Tuesday July 15, 2014 at 10:00 AM Central Time

Radio defines "retail" too narrowly; as “advertisers-who-sell-goods.” A wider-angle view includes service providers for whom radio can be a superb new business generator. Attorneys, Real Estate Agents, veterinarians, Home Improvement, health & fitness, food/wine/spirits are all opportune categories; and these advertisers DON'T measure success by ratings.

During this fast-moving webinar, Holland Cooke outlines success templates that are making money -- on-air and online -- for his client stations and shares specific copy points and other easily-adaptable tactics that have produced results. Learn how simple tools your station already has lets music stations flex the power often used by Talk Radio...without stopping the music.

NASCAR Says Hendrick Cars Were Legal

| Managing Editor, RacinToday.com Friday, October 2 2009
Mark Martin is just one of the veteran drivers who have put Hendrick Motorsports solidly in the Chase.

Mark Martin had his Hendrick Motorsports car inspected and cleared earlier this week by NASCAR.

By Jim Pedley | Managing Editor

Kansas City, Kan. – NASCAR officials said Friday that they had indeed warned Hendrick Motorsports officials that the cars of Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin were close to exceeding legal tolerances, but that the cars were not illegal.

“It was just an informal warning,” NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said at Kansas Speedway.

The cars of Martin and Johnson, who are first and second in points, were taken to the NASCAR research and development center in North Carolina after the race at Dover International Speedway last Sunday.

There, they were subjected to tests which, Tharp said, are too extensive to be performed at the race tracks after races.

He said the tests, which he termed routine, revealed that the cars of Martin and Johnson were right up against legal tolerances but did not cross the line.

Tharp said Hendrick officials were told that but, he said, there was no order by NASCAR to not bring the cars back to as had been reported by several media sources.

Chad Knaus, crew chief of Johnson’s car, said that the only reason people were talking about the situation was because of who it involved – two very high profile teams.

“There’s a tolerance for everything and as long as you’re within the tolerance that’s fine but when you start getting close to that line you’ve got to make sure that we understand why and that’s what we’re trying to do,” Knaus said. “There’s been other teams in the garage that have been over there and they said hey you guys are pushing it and you’re going to need to get to work.

“This is just fortunately the first time that we’ve had that. So it’s good timing for everyone. It’s realigning where we need to be. The last thing that we want with what we’re trying to do with this here is to have a situation in the post race inspection, that’s the furthest thing from our minds. We’re going into this deal trying to win our fourth straight championship and that’s our focus.”

Johnson said, “We weren’t cheating and our car was not found illegal. It’s not illegal or it would not have been released” back to the team.

Elsewhere in the garages, the situation was drawing indifference. Envy, in one instance.

Red Bull Racing’s Brian Vickers, who is a former Hendrick driver, said, “Good for (Johnson and Martin)” when told of the situation.

“That is why they are running good,” Vickers said. “NASCAR gives us a box to work around and if you are not (pushing the tolerances), then shame on you. I wish it was us.”

This Nebula Award nominee by the scientist and author of the "New York Times" Notable Book "Bloom" delivers an original tale of a wondrous future in which the secrets of matter have been unlocked and death itself is but a memory. But it is a future imperiled by the bitter rivalry between two brilliant scientists--one who is perhaps the greatest genius in history; the other, its greatest monster.
From the Publisher:
In this stunningly original tale, acclaimed author Wil McCarthy imagines a wondrous future in which the secrets of matter have been unlocked and death itself is but a memory. But it is also a future imperiled by a bitter rivalry between two brilliant scientists--one perhaps the greatest genius in the history of humankind; the other, its greatest monster.

The Collapsium

In a world of awesome technology, the deadly substance called collapsium has given humans all the powers and caprices--including immortality--of the gods they once worshiped. Composed of miniature black holes, collapsium allows the instantaneous transmission of information and matter--as well as humans--throughout the solar system. But while its reclusive inventor, Bruno de Towaji, next dreams of probing the farthest reaches of spacetime, Marlon Sykes, his ambitious rival in science--and in love--has built an awesome telecommunications network by constructing a ring of collapsium around the sun. It appears Sykes may be the victor--until a ruthless saboteur attacks the ring and sends it falling toward the sun. Now the two scientists must put aside personal animosity to prevent the destruction of the solar system--and every living thing within it.The Queendom of Sol enjoys a peaceful and prosperous existence, thanks to the use of two powerful technologies--the wellstone, a form of programmable mater, and the collapsium, a lethal crystal made up of miniature black holes--until a ruthless saboteur ignites an apocalyptic crisis, and two rival scientists must work together to prevent total annihilation. Reprint.
The sudden development of two diametrically opposed technological breakthroughs threatens the fabric of the universe with utter destruction, unless two quibbling scientists can get past their differences and sort out the problem.

Introduction - Linux Software Recommended Books - Bhakti List Archives

Welcome to the Sri Vaishnava Home Page, dedicated to Sri Vaishnavism, one of the preeminent religious traditions of Hinduism. Over its long history, Sri Vaishnavism has influenced nearly every aspect of Indian religious life.

Sri Vaishnavism is a multifaceted tradition that has both popular and philosophical aspects. These pages attempt to present a glimpse into a few sides of this religion -- its vibrant temple culture, the philosophical love poetry of the Alvar saints, the Vedanta discourses of the Upanishadic sages, the penetrating insight of the acharyas -- all culminating in the grand philosophy of Visishtadvaita.

Visishtadvaita is the system of thought embodied by the Vedanta, the philosophical portion of the Vedas, India's ancient scriptures. The central idea of Visishtadvaita is this: there exists an Ultimate Principle, an Absolute Being that is the source and substratum of all that exists. This immanent spirit is the inner guide and controller of the whole universe with all its diverse animate and inanimate elements. Communion with this gracious, omnipotent Supreme Being constitutes the supreme end of existence. Such communion is attainable exclusively through self-surrender and undivided, loving meditation.

I like my tail

You may not have noticed, but I like chasing my tail. I like it even better when I catch it. It doesn’t mean I stop spinning around in circles when I get it either. I just keep twirling and twirling.

It’s fun!

Oh, and about running into the wall afterward? I meant to do that.

Why can’t I just sit and enjoy the day?

My people always seem to be in a hurry. What’s the rush? There are so many smells to figure out. Sounds echo in my head. I need to know what they are!.

My people keep me inside most of the day. When I do get out they want to walk, walk, walk. They expect me to pee or poo each time they do. That’s why I always hold back just a little pee. Seems to make them happy.

All I’d like to do sometimes, not every time, is to sit and enjoy the day. Like when those other people’s young ones are out playing. I need to sit and see what they do. I can’t bounce that big orange ball, but I can chase it really well! I want to play, too!

Like the other day. The biggest of my people wanted to keep walking and walking and walking. We did the big loop. We usually don’t do that. I’m not sure where I’m going? What if they take me and leave me? I’m a little too young to be left alone. I know I’m big-er. It’s not like when I was just a pup.

And why does the big female always call me her little boy? I’m not a boy!

Well, at least I’m still eatin’ good. And I get to rest when I want.

It could be worse.

I get tired, too.

It’s late. Way past my bedtime. I notice you people start to get slower around this time, too. Especially the female. Same time. Same place. Sleep.

Thanks for the spot on the big soft thing right next to you.

But I hate it when right before we go up the hill in the house for the last time before you lay down, you have to take me outside. It’s probably the only time I don’t like it outside. It’s cold people! Yeah, I gotta pee. Sometimes even poop. But you must not notice how I make you carry me out by just standing there. Because it works every time.

More outside time, please.

I like the outdoors. Can’t you tell?

I like to just sit and let the breeze blow through my hair sometimes. That’s nice. There’s plenty to snack on. Grass. Cat poop. Rabbit poop. Paper. Pencils. Styrofoam. I know I don’t need it. I don’t always like it. But I like to try it. I think I’m smart enough to know what to eat and what not to eat.

My favorite is when there’s lot’s of water outside. Something just tastes different about it. Different from the inside water. I can lick the streets all day long.

And that day when all that white stuff came down and stuck on the ground? Cold. Crunchy. It really felt good on the teeth. Kind of sweet, too. That was good times. Good times.

I need my space.

I like the little people a lot. They’re a pain sometimes and I just want to get away from them. You’d think they were puppies! Wait, they kind of are, aren’t they? Especially that little one. For something that’s not much bigger than me, she’s pretty rough.

The little one is always messing with the stuff around my eyes. Ouch! That’s a pretty tender area. And when I’m sampling the food outside? They grab me and open my mouth and take out whatever it is I’ve got even before I can taste it!

I didn’t like it the other night either when they were chasing me around the house and tackling me. Or when the male was chasing me with the towel. I know how to dry myself. Please.

And why do the little ones always pick me up. Hello! I do have four paws! That’s why I’m so thankful I can signal the big ones to take me out for a nervous pee. Sometimes, I’ve just got to get away from them both. To get a little alone time. Oh, I’ll want to come back in. I just need a break. Heh. Looks like the big ones need a break, too.

It maybe old news to you, but I think there might be a substancial number of people that would like to have the information. I hadn't heard about it until last week, however it seems apparent that I may not be as well read as some other member/s. I guess I didn't see your post giving everyone else the information when you found out.
Just cause it's loud doesn't mean it's fast and just cause it's shiney doesn't mean it's protected. Remember, going fast costs money, so how fast do you wanna go?

I wanted the chrome bumper and not a painted one for the specific reason of stone chipping the paint. I hope the chrome problem isn't a widespread issue.

Petition to: My Congressman and Senators

Whereas:   The 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees every American citizen the right to due process; and
Whereas:   The "National Defense Authorization Act" (NDAA) shreds the 6th Amendment by allowing the indefinite detention of Americans without so much as a jury trial; and
Whereas:   Granting government the unlimited power to detain American citizens without a jury trial is a dangerous precedent to set; and

NBA Miami Heat

Chris Bosh named All-Star Game Reserve

Pat Lovell-USA TODAY Sports

It may not be the way he wanted it to be, but Chris Bosh is once again an All-Star.

The Miami Heat center was named earlier tonight as a selection by NBA coaches to a reserve for the Eastern Conference when the 2013 All-Star Game is played in Houston on February 17. This will be the eight time that Bosh has been named an All-Star in his career and the third time it has been as a member of the Heat.

Bosh wanted to be an All-Star starter this year and thought that his way in lied in his shift from a power forward to a center. However, when the league removed the center position from the All-Star ballot opting for three frontcourt slots instead it made voting for him to start would be tougher. Despite a push by his teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade along with the Heat front office to have Bosh voted in as a starter he wasn’t able to overtake Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics for the final frontcourt spot.

Bosh has played well this season but he has been lacking in a key area that is a glaring weakness for Miami – rebounding. He is currently having the worst rebounding year of his career since his rookie season. It was thought that his rebounding could possibly hurt him when it came to the coaches selecting the reserves, but Bosh has made it.

This will be the third year in a row that the Heat ‘Big 3′ will be going to the All-Star game together.

Isaac Hayes Memorial Service Scheduled For Next Monday
Posted by Steve Juon at Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 1:15PM :: Email this article :: Print this article

MEMPHIS, TENN. - A memorial service will be held on Monday at Hope Presbyterian Church, 8500 Walnut Grove, Cordova, Tennessee from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to celebrate the life of pioneering soul icon Isaac Hayes, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 65.

Born in the rural poverty of a sharecropper's family on August 20, 1942, in Covington, Tennessee, Hayes rose to artistic success as an accomplished GRAMMY®, Golden Globe and Academy Award winning composer/musician, paving the way for his fellow African Americans in the arts and entertainment world. As well as being a published author, actor and radio personality, Hayes is a coronated King of Ghana in western Africa. Instead of a palace, he built an 8,000 square foot educational facility as he felt that education and literacy is the key to a successful life.

He is survived by his wife of three years Adjowa Hayes, and their two–year–old son Kwadjo Hayes, ten children—Jacqueline Fields, Felecia Hayes Fisher, Veronica Hayes, Vincent Hayes, Melanie Hayes, Nikki McGhee, Heather Hayes, Isaac Hayes III, Darius Caston and Lillian Bryant—14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The family issued the following statement: "We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of support and love from Isaac's dear friends, colleagues and fans from every corner of the world, and we thank each and every one of them for their kind thoughts and prayers. While he was an iconic figure to many, to us he was husband, father and friend. We will ever miss his love, wisdom, humor and the familiar comfort of his voice."

To celebrate Hayes' constant support of the Stax Music Academy and his Stax Records Legacy, the Hayes family, in lieu of flowers requests that donations be sent to the Stax Music Academy in Memphis, made out to Soulsville, 926 E. McLemore Avenue, Memphis, TN 38106. Please specify "In memory of Isaac Hayes."

Condolences may be sent to the family at message@isaachayes.com.
