How to Practice Cell Phone Etiquette
Everyone on their phones...
To most of us, cell phones are a life saver, but rude cell phone users
are the thorns in our sides. They're pretty much anywhere that there's
a cell phone signal. The thing is, we could all probably use a little
primer on cell phone etiquette. After all, most people who are being
annoying don't realize they're being annoying. Could that be you?

Cannot know all, so know little about everything... (Quip of the day - Blaise Pascal

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything,
we ought to know a little about everything.
 - Blaise Pascal
 
* Post your own COMMENTS
 
Blaise Pascal (French pronunciation: [blɛz paskal]), (June 19, 1623,
in Clermont-Ferrand, France – August 19, 1662) was a French
mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher. He was a child
prodigy who was educated by his father, a civil servant. Pascal's
earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made
important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators,
the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum
by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote
in defense of the scientific method.
Pascal was a mathematician of the first order. He helped create two
major new areas of research. He wrote a significant treatise on the
subject of projective geometry at the age of sixteen, and later
corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, strongly
influencing the development of modern economics and social science.
Following Galileo and Torricelli, in 1646 he refuted Aristotle's
followers who insisted that nature abhors a vacuum. His results caused
many disputes before being accepted.
In 1646, he and his sister Jacqueline identified with the religious
movement within Catholicism know by its detractors as Jansenism.[1]
His father died in 1651. Following a mystical experience in late 1654,
he had his "second conversion", abandoned his scientific work, and
devoted himself to philosophy and theology. His two most famous works
date from this period: the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées, the
former set in the conflict between Jansenists and Jesuits. In this
year, he also wrote an important treatise on the arithmetic of
triangles. Between 1658 and 1659 he wrote on the cycloid and its use
in calculating the volume of solids.
Pascal had poor health throughout his life and his death came just two
months after his 39th birthday.[2]

Zenbe... be Zen
Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism, translated from the Chinese word
Chán. Chán is itself derived from the Sanskrit Dhyāna, which means
"meditation" (see etymology below).
Zen emphasizes experiential Prajñā—particularly as realized in the
form of meditation known as zazen—in the attainment of awakening,
often simply called the path of enlightenment. As such, it
de-emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and the study of religious
texts in favor of direct, experiential realization through meditation
and dharma practice.
The establishment of Zen is traditionally credited to be in China, the
Shaolin temple, by the Southern Indian Pallava prince-turned-monk
Bodhidharma, who is recorded as having come to China to teach a
"special transmission outside scriptures" which "did not stand upon
words". The emergence of Zen as a distinct school of Buddhism was
first documented in China in the 7th century CE. It is thought to have
developed as an amalgam of various currents in Mahāyāna Buddhist
thought—among them the Yogācāra and Madhyamaka philosophies and the
Prajñāpāramitā literature—and of local traditions in China,
particularly Taoism and Huáyán Buddhism. From China, Zen subsequently
spread southwards to Vietnam and eastwards to Korea and Japan....

Corn... Food of the season

* Post your COMMENTS ... and taste...
 
Corn
What vegetable is more synonymous with the coming of summer than
freshly picked corn on the cob? Although corn is now available in
markets year-round, it is the locally grown varieties that you can
purchase during the summer months that not only tastes the best but
are usually the least expensive.

In North American usage, the cereal crop maize, also called field corn
or Indian corn; including the variety sweet corn, which is often
considered a vegetable.
Traditionally, and still outside North America, corn is a general word
for cereal crops and their grain including:
Wheat
Barley
Oat
Rye
>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn
 
Sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa[1]), also called indian corn,
sweetcorn (the only term usual in British English), sugar corn, pole
corn, or simply corn, is a variety of maize with a high sugar content.
Sweet corn is the result of a naturally-occurring recessive mutation
in the genes which control conversion of sugar to starch inside the
endosperm of the corn kernel. Unlike field corn varieties, which are
harvested when the kernels are dry and fully mature (dent stage),
sweet corn is picked when immature (milk stage) and eaten as a
vegetable, rather than a grain. Since the process of maturation
involves converting sugar into starch, sweet corn stores poorly and
must be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen before the kernels become tough
and starchy.

HOW TO: Chat in Real-time in 45 Languages
Worldwide communication has come a long way due to social media, but
there are a couple of barriers that affect conversation across
borders. One would be the ease of communication. Most web-based
communication platforms require signups or downloadable clients. The
bigger roadblock to worldwide communication though are the thousands
of languages that are in use today.
A new and very interesting service is trying to solve both of these
problems using a simple and innovative platform: BabelWith.Me.
BabelWith.Me is a web-based group chat tool with a major twist: it
automatically translates conversations into 45 languages. Here, try
out the Mashable room to see it in action.
The Alpha service is incredibly straightforward to use. Just click the
“Start a Conversation” button on the homepage…and that’s it. That one
click creates an entirely new chatroom that you can invite friends,
colleagues, and strangers to use. It’s a simple interface, but with
two important features. First, it...

The Tower of Babel (Hebrew: מגדל בבל‎Migdal Bavel Arabic: برج
بابل‎Burj Babil) according to chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis, was
an enormous tower built at the city of Babel, the Hebrew name for
Babylon (Akkadian Babilu). According to the biblical account, a united
humanity, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, took
part in the building after the Great Flood; Babel was also called the
"beginning" of Nimrod's kingdom. The people decided their city should
have a tower so immense that it would have "its top in the
heavens"(וְרֹאשׁוֹ בַשָּׁמַיִם). However, the Tower of Babel was not
built for the worship and praise of God, but was dedicated to the
glory of man, with a motive of making a 'name' for the builders: "Then
they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its
top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we
shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" (Genesis
11:4). God, seeing what the people were doing, came down and
confounded their languages and scattered the people throughout the
earth. It had been God's original purpose for mankind to grow and fill
the earth.

Twitter could be making hay off 'virtual currency'.. (Fortune of the day

Twitter whacks 'Mafia' opportunity
Experts say the rising social networking star could be making hay off
'virtual currency' in 140Mafia but Twitter hasn't cashed in -- yet.
A new Mafia video game has presented Twitter with an offer, but it's
one that Twitter thinks it can refuse.
On Tuesday, a Twitter-based game called "140 Mafia" became the first
to use "virtual currency" on the social networking site, providing a
money-making platform that experts believe could fuel Twitter's
success.
Designed by a company called Super Rewards, the virtual currency lets
users pay for game-playing advantages. For instance, in the popular
role-playing game "140 Mafia," players will now be able to visit a
character named the Godfather to buy virtual health, money and
ammunition with their real credit cards or bank accounts.

The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a plant in the beet root family. It is
best known in its numerous cultivated varieties, the most well known
of which is probably the red root vegetable known as the garden beet.
However, other cultivated varieties include the leaf vegetables chard
and spinach beet, as well as the root vegetables sugar beet, which is
important in the production of table sugar, and mangelwurzel, which is
a fodder crop. Three subspecies are typically recognised. All
cultivated varieties fall into the subspecies Beta vulgaris subsp.
vulgaris, while Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima, commoly known as the
sea beet, is the wild ancestor of these and is found throughout the
Mediterranean, the Atlantic coast of Europe, the Near East, and India.
A second wild subspecies, Beta vulgaris subsp. adanensis, occurs from
Greece to Syria.
The beet has a long history of cultivation stretching back to the
second millennium BC.
