| Reflections on 9.11.01 | | 2008-08-18 20:33:00 | | Every year, when Sept. 11 gets closer, I wind up saying to someone: "I can't believe it's been (however many) years since the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. Such is the case again this year—seven years after that awful day that saw nearly 3,000 people lose their lives. On my regular blog, The Hudson Line, I've shared, several times, my Sept. 11, 2001 experiences. This year, I do so for the first time for the readers of Sid Rosenberg's Web site also. I hope you'll indulge me as I share these memories.
They say people who were old enough in 1963 always remember where they were when they learned President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. For a younger generation—one that wasn't around in 1963—the same can be said of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
It's true.
Not only do I remember where I was—I remember precisely what I wore to work that day. I remember the songs I listened to as I drove into work. I remember almost every | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

| Reflections On Recharging | | 2008-06-12 22:18:00 | | It was the tired chiming of a well-loved mantel clock whose batteries were in need of replacement that reminded me of how precious time truly is, how it marches on even when one is at a standstill in life. Strange that a sound that for so many years had always brought a feeling of comfort could bring such a urgent feeling of unfulfillment. Once a pleasant sound that I was able to keep up with, which had beat strongly in time with me, ticking to the many changes in my new life after the divorce and following me to the many different homes as I began an exciting life as newly single, then once again in a committed relationship. Now, the chiming seemed a haunting reminder of the many dreams that I had yet to carry through.How is it that a mere four years earlier I had felt so young and confident in my new life, certain in my conviction that I was moving forward, striving towards a goal of independence. Why is it that I am feeling so worn out and unsure of myself these days? Perhaps it is | | By: women's health information center | | |

| | Reflections on a Gift of a Watermelon Pickle | | 2008-06-12 14:27:00 | | While taking our afternoon constitution around and around the third floor of our building, a co-worker and I started talking about some baking plans. We talked about pies and making itty-bitty one-bite versions. And then we talked about making jam. I loved freezer jam as a kid. My mom and I would go out to Phillips Road in Webster and spend a morning at a U-Pick gathering basket upon basket of warm strawberries. I would proudly hold up large berries I found that were almost obscene with how deep red and luscious they looked. Later in the day, we would begin the cleaning process. I would be set at the kitchen table with a paring knife, wooden cutting board, and two bowls. One would hold the washed strawberries, the other the strawberries after I quartered them. Every so often my mom would check in and admonish me to cut especially large berries into smaller pieces before pouring cupfuls of white sugar onto the growing pile of cut-up redness.My next job was to decimate the berries | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| RENDER USING HDRI REFLECTIONS! | | 2008-06-05 15:30:00 | | Source: Pyros (www.3dkingdom.org) First of all, here’s a short description of what HDR is. It’s a very usefull format that we encounter in different programs of Global Illumination (GI), like Vray, Brazil, and others, and now can be utilized by all the users of MAX. With this tutorial, I intend to explain the basic process for creating good HDRI effects on models. You can experiment a lot with materials and different possibilities that are offered by using HDR Images. The "dynamic range" of a scene is the Contast Ratio between its brightest and darkest parts. A plate of evenly-lit mashed potatoes outside on a cloudy day is low-dynamic range. The interior of an ornate cathedral with light streaming in through its stained-glass windows has high dynamic range. In fact, any scene in which the light sources can be seen directly is high dynamic range for it is high in Contrast. A High-Dynamic Range Image is an image that has a greater dynamic range than can | | By: VISUARQ | | |
| | Reflections on Aging, My Parents, the Universe and Everything | | 2008-06-05 12:36:53 | | My parents are really salt of the earth people. I have blogged about them often. They moved to Arizona when they retired from their regular jobs so they could work at a Native American Boarding School. But even before that they spent their lives serving others.But wow, they have slowed down so much in the past year. Every single minute of life is an ordeal, and requires a lot of planning and patience. I have done my best to be understanding and have fared pretty well, but it is a good thing that I brought along my mellow children as this would have been nearly impossible for some of the others. The thing that has amazed me most about my parents is that they have consistently been content. Regardless of whatever has happened to them, how poor they have been, what their health has been like, they live a simple existence and are always grateful for what they have and content. It is something I can certainly learn from them.I find that when I am here I am forced to slow waaaaaay do | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |

A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love (Hardcover)By Richard Dawkins
Buy new: $24.00 $17.7645 used and new from $2.99
Editorial Reviews Richard Dawkins has an opinion on everything biological, it seems, and in A Devil's Chaplain, everything is biological. Dawkins weighs in on topics as diverse as ape rights, jury trials, religion, and education, all examined through the lens of natural selection and evolution. Although many of these essays have been published elsewhere, this book is something of a greatest-hits compilation, reprinting many of Dawkins' most famous recent compositions. They are well worth re-reading. His 1998 review of Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont's Fashionable Nonsense is as bracing an indictment of academic obscurantism as the book it covered, although the review reveals some of Dawkins' personal biases as well. Several essays are devoted to skillfully debunking religion and mysticism, and these are likely to raise the hackles of even casua | | By: Store Books Cheap | | |
| | Vesak Day: Reflections on Buddhism & Humanism | | 2008-05-17 22:37:38 | | By Professor Dr. Sukomal BaruaIn The New Nation Today is the Sacred Buddha Purnima, the full-moon day of Vesakha blessed by the birth, Enlightenment and Passing way of the Buddha. The day in very significant and important to the Buddhist world. It brings peace, integrity brotherhood, non-hatred, universal love, compassion and full humanism of the mankind of the world.We know, humanism is a system of thought or action originating in Western Europe in the 15th century which gives more importance to the affairs of man or human life as against medieval traditions of scholastic theology or philosophy. It was a kind of movement against intellectual or scholastic authority of the middle ages and gave rise to modern intellectual, scientific, and social developments. It insists on the dignity of man and it refuses to find in the divine, anything external and superior to mankind. It concerns itself with mankind and the dignity of mankind.

| | Colorado Needs "Water Day" Earth Day Reflections | | 2008-04-22 08:59:31 | | The different domains of the globe can be separated by categories: earth, air, and water. Earth Day celebrates all three domains collectively in an attempt to encourage each of us to nurture and respect our own relationship with the environment. But in Colorado there seems to be a more pressing concern, our water, or better said, the lack of it.Yesterday afternoon I watched a small dark grey plume of smoke over a ridge in Castle Rock. I later learned that two residential homes were burned but at the time I felt the sickening dread of "fire season". My family was intimately involved in the Hayman Fire in 2000. Dread, fueled by slippery winds and erratic fire paths, toyed with our emotions and our property for days. Would we be spared? Sadly we watched acres of gorgeous Colorado mountain terrain be swallowed up in a voracious fireball.Our arid climate not only fuels fires but also the pine beetle devastation that has stripped our ski slopes, leaving the scrawny brown remains of the once | | By: Safe Green Living | | |

| | Reflections on the February 2008 Turkish Operation in Northern Iraq | | 2008-03-03 09:19:09 | | This article was written by Frank Hyland with Timothy Thompson Many readers may wonder, perhaps even question, from time to time the level of resources that nations put into anti-terrorist programs. Some openly promote the idea that anti-terrorism programs are more properly in the arena of law enforcement, police matters, rather than military in nature. Some point to the number of deaths from terrorist attacks being lower than, for example, deaths from auto accidents. The possibility that a terrorist...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

| | | Some Reflections | | 2008-01-26 08:20:23 | | In this post, I intend to ramble on about things not related to earning money online, just some experiences and thoughts, so if you want to skip it, skip now. I will turn 25 on Monday. It is strange how old it sounds when we are younger, however, when we ourselves turn that age, we still feel young. I used to think I don't want to live past 21 years of age because after that people become old. It seems to me that all our lives are spent seeking others' approval. Parents' approval, teachers' approval, colleagues' approval, spouse's approval, his/her family's approval and later on, our children's approval. We so want to be accepted and loved by others, that we follow the path laid out for us without complaint. Or atleast most of us do because we are scared of being judged, and criticized. When we are young, we can't wait to become older, and pretend to be our parents going to work, or doing housework and some day age catches up, and they step out of childhood into adulthood.

| | Reflections Concerning National Security | | 2007-12-28 13:47:57 | | The assassination of Benazir Bhutto once again demonstrates how fragile life is. It also reinforces how vulnerable democratic and open societies and those seeking free societies are to devastating terrorist attacks. This underscores the importance of national security. The intelligence and law enforcement community, most notably the CIA and FBI, should be afforded the best mechanisms to collect, assess and act upon intelligence information. Agency leaders along with Director of National Security...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |
| | Reflections Of Society. | | 2007-09-27 17:46:00 | | The wonderful, and often challenging, aspect of myself is how disillusioned I naturally become with myself, with my own self-image. This whole play of spirituality has grown tiresome and old. There is really no difference between what one would call spirituality and any other self-made pursuit occupying ones time. Spirituality is no closer to truth than any other man-made invention. All there is,

| | Reflections On Sacred Symbols | | 2007-07-29 19:15:00 | | י"ד באב תשס"זReflections on Sacred SymbolsBy John CarisJuly 29, 2007Symbols, whether sacred or secular, pervade human culture and are frequently found in the arts. They are keys that open the door to higher consciousness, codes that winnow the kernel from the chaff, seeds that contain hidden knowledge.A basic idea underlying symbols and their power is the micro-macrocosm relationship. What is above is reflected in what is below, and so too what is below is like what is above. A commonality and unity, whether physical or spiritual, exist between the two.Read the full article on Witchvox. | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

Its message is as always one of peace, dialogue and the harmonious and creative meeting of cultures. Its music reflects and embodies these values. Each of us treads our own personal path through the festival’s myriad of possibilities – the programmed and un-programmed. The message is transmitted through a rich and varied kaleidoscope of experiences.This year the message was realised in yet another form, one which unexpectedly also created its own little media storm…CREATIVE DIALOGUEIn February I held a short interview with Naima Lahbil, the director of the Fès Festival, fo | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |

We had no idea what was ahead.Someone asked me today if I had decided I was glad we moved. It probably wasn't a good day to ask me, but I still have to say that my pro and con list is about even. There are so many things we love about our new home and so many things we miss about our old one.I can't believe it's been a whole year. It really went by fast. | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |
