Yakuzza Lethecus: hi dash
Yakuzza Lethecus: hi dash
Dash Earthboy: Yaku my friend, gtsy :)
Dash Earthboy: so much has changed since this morning's session
Yakuzza Lethecus: you got a job ? :)
Dash Earthboy: no, not personal betterment
Dash Earthboy: Apparently today was my day to get involved with the community to help other people. Maintenance has successfully turned off the baseboard heat for everybody in the bldg, fixed my shower, and generally cleaned the place up to acceptable standards.
Dash Earthboy: And I just witnessed a UPS truck back into a lady's SUV while she was absent. Two others across the street also witnessed it. When she came to get her car she didn't look at that area until I came up and told her what had happened as the other two witnesses continued to watch. When she spoke to the UPS guy when he returned they apparently agreed not to do an incident report and she left with a small scratch and cracked paint on her bumper.
Dash Earthboy: this morning my shower provided only scalding hot water
Dash Earthboy: no cold water at all to blend with
Dash Earthboy: the guy in the room that shared this bathroom gave up on this place and left early this morning since he couldn't sleep from the brutal heat of the rooms here
Yakuzza Lethecus: if i had issues i was always missing the hot water, not the cold, but anyway is uncomfortable, how warm is it in denver ?
Dash Earthboy: he said he thought he was going to have a heat stroke from it
Dash Earthboy: summary: hottest August on record, yesterday hottest ever September day
Dash Earthboy: i'm in Boulder by the way, at the International Hostel
Dash Earthboy: when the guy next door woke me at 1 AM today, I had gone online to air his complaints and mine and others I've spoken with, filing complaints with city goverrnment and chamber of commerce
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey susan
Dash Earthboy: susan :)
iwandertoo Resident: waves :)
Dash Earthboy: at least your waves help cool us off Susan :)
iwandertoo Resident: good to hear
Dash Earthboy: so today we're finally starting to get a break from the heat in Colorado
iwandertoo Resident: I'm always cold...and think to myself when freezing, 'its tropical' and imagine the warm sun....and I warm up just a bit
Dash Earthboy: and the maintenance guy turned off all the running heaters in the building
Yakuzza Lethecus: hi arch
--BELL--
Dash Earthboy: so things have improved
iwandertoo Resident: :)
iwandertoo Resident: things have a way of working out
Dash Earthboy: thanks to my contacting city code enforcement and chamber of commerce :)
Dash Earthboy: problems don't usually resolve themselves in my experience
Archmage Atlantis: Talking in the silence....not a good sign
iwandertoo Resident: waves
Yakuzza Lethecus: well, i see it as a reminder, but sure ur right
iwandertoo Resident: not sure how things get resolved...but they seem to in time
Yakuzza Lethecus: how are you arch ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: was nimbuz with you the whole 17 years or when did you recieve him ?
Archmage Atlantis: If I could be a real snow leopard, I would leap out to protect those whom I love
Dash Earthboy: <3
Archmage Atlantis: He came to me as a kitten
Archmage Atlantis: Ty fo acknowleging Dash
Yakuzza Lethecus: nabend satia
Dash Earthboy: hey satia
Archmage Atlantis: In the mists of being there is the great I am
Archmage Atlantis: today I was told conform, or leave.....so I left
Dash Earthboy: <3 Arch
Archmage Atlantis: Then they chased me
Archmage Atlantis: Liability issues I suppose
Dash Earthboy: it can be a challenge
Archmage Atlantis: I lost my companion of 17 years
Archmage Atlantis: And all the system can see
Archmage Atlantis: Is
Archmage Atlantis: how to break me down
Archmage Atlantis: and I will not break\
Yakuzza Lethecus: my mother got a little jack russel terrier and ever since she´s living alone it´s her only companion as well, it´s kind of her child
Archmage Atlantis: It echoes all over the world
Dash Earthboy: as Jewel sings in "Hands": "We are never broken..."
Dash Earthboy: it needs to echo
Dash Earthboy: so the system saw your weakened state and chose to strike then to try to get you to bend to their desires
Archmage Atlantis: As the phoenix is reborn, so am I
Dash Earthboy: good :)
Dash Earthboy: i've been an active victim advocate today :)
Archmage Atlantis: Chester is here
Dash Earthboy: hugs Chester
Archmage Atlantis: How do animals know?
Dash Earthboy: they don't need words
Dash Earthboy: they reason more symbolically
Dash Earthboy: and more attuned to the present
Dash Earthboy: without considering future
Dash Earthboy: or much past
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: thru many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come
Dash Earthboy: twas grace that brought you safe thus far
Archmage Atlantis: Namaste, Dash
Dash Earthboy: _/\_
Dash Earthboy: one should never make short work of grieving
Dash Earthboy: take it from one who's always told "Get over it"
Archmage Atlantis: I accept alll you say,
Archmage Atlantis: But I do not accept shoud\
Archmage Atlantis: what is...is
Dash Earthboy: what is...can be changed
Archmage Atlantis: yes
Dash Earthboy: what is lasts a moment
Dash Earthboy: or more
Dash Earthboy: depending on attachment
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey zon
Dash Earthboy: hey zon
Zon Kwan: heya
Archmage Atlantis: funny\
Dash Earthboy: *thinks of his grocery trip soon
Archmage Atlantis: that attachmrnt thingie

Yakuzza Lethecus: Namste
Archmage Atlantis: ok, we f---d that pause
Archmage Atlantis: sorry
oO0Oo Resident: maybe that will give rise to baby pauses
Wol Euler is contrite.
Wol Euler grins.
Yakuzza Lethecus: hi wol and korel
oO0Oo Resident: pregnant pause

Korel Laloix: Bozho
Dash Earthboy: osiyo B

Korel Laloix: Good so far.
Jan Qualia: SL grounded
milakel Resident: korel, if you feel like practicing your talk, please, come here and read us a lecture on statistics or whatnot. i'd be most happy to hear it :)
Jan Qualia: yes
milakel Resident: well, not here. kira cafe :)
milakel Resident: we don't want to disgrace the fishes in the pond
Jan Qualia: how many are there?
Archmage Atlantis: koi
milakel Resident: a lot
Korel Laloix: I don't want to bore eveyrone to death.
Yakuzza Lethecus: you wouldn´t :)
Korel Laloix: And besides, more about methods this semester anyway.
Jan Qualia: we're used to it :)
milakel Resident: korel, i'm serious. think about it.
Jan Qualia: (I'm used t it)
milakel Resident: there are a lot of geeks in pab
Yakuzza Lethecus: can´t guarantee i wouldn´t fall asleep tho , can´t guarantee that anyway even without lecture :)
oO0Oo Resident likes the idea of hearing a bit of Korel's lecture over her voice channel
milakel Resident: :)
Korel Laloix: WEll, the seminar today was about how our personal biases effect out reserach perspectives.
Korel Laloix: So that was good.
Jan Qualia: we love standard deviations
milakel Resident: ah, good one
Jan Qualia: or unstandard ones even better
Jan Qualia: :)
oO0Oo Resident: :) Zen
Wol Euler nods.
milakel Resident: korel, so how does yours affect it?
Wol Euler looks around for zen
Jan Qualia: you gave me away Sam
Jan Qualia: and I was incognito :)
oO0Oo Resident: could add our deviance to the render cost box display
Korel Laloix: And the other class we talked about the differences of how western and Asian science look at medicine.
Wol Euler: we can edit that out of the transcript
Archmage Atlantis: that was a cheap shoot, it's taken decades to elevate geeks
oO0Oo Resident: oh! sorry meant to say that to Jan! Where are you Zen?
Jan Qualia: too late
milakel Resident: korel, ah... body mechanics vs body energy?
oO0Oo Resident: [NOTE - Guardian please tidy up my brain trip there with Jan]
milakel Resident: sam, i missed your trip :)
Jan Qualia: likes being deviant
Archmage Atlantis: Whenever you trust in the plan,,,,,, we stand in the water,,,,everything is possible
Korel Laloix: Well, they take it more seriously as well.
Jan Qualia: it doesn't matter Sam
Jan Qualia: wqs only oking
Korel Laloix: But the relatively cheap cost of medical research in CHina is shifting things.
milakel Resident: "more seriously" is not exactly a characteristic
Dash Earthboy: why so cheap in China?
Archmage Atlantis: What part of infinite do you not understand
oO0Oo Resident listens to Korel
Korel Laloix: No lawyers.
Korel Laloix: lol
Jan Qualia: Wetern is more science based?
Korel Laloix: Well, that is part of it.
oO0Oo Resident: and the infinite
Korel Laloix: There are some that say that Asian medicine takes a more whole of person look at halth.
Jan Qualia: nearly all medicine used to be based on plants
Korel Laloix: And in the US we takea legal look at it.
Korel Laloix: But there are many ways to view the issues.
milakel Resident: hmm
oO0Oo Resident nods
--BELL--
milakel Resident: *recalls that case with a young girl who had a brain injury and basically was dead, but on support for years*
milakel Resident: years long legal fight for her right to die
milakel Resident: i wonder what view's on that on the east
Yakuzza Lethecus: you mean the shivo case ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: *schiavo
milakel Resident: um, no... i forgot her name. back in the 60s, i think.
milakel Resident: oh, that one was big too
milakel Resident: what do you think? do we have the right to end our own life?
Dash Earthboy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Schiavo_case
milakel Resident: thanks, dash. was looking at it.
Dash Earthboy: legally in a hospice
Dash Earthboy: i witnessed someone's choosing to end her own life in 2009
Wol Euler listens.
Dash Earthboy: lag is mixing up the sentences
milakel Resident: it's ok
milakel Resident: was she in pain?
Jan Qualia: was still looking up TCM and you have moved on :(
milakel Resident: jan :)
milakel Resident: never too late
Dash Earthboy: i'm also familiar with Karen Ann Quinlan case
milakel Resident: it's right on topic, btw
oO0Oo Resident: TCM=Traditional Chinese Medicine
oO0Oo Resident: ah... nice grass... thanks Yaku
Jan Qualia: "Today, TCM is practised in over 160 countries. In the UK alone, as many as 2,000 clinics can be found offering a wide range of treatments especially those for chronic conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, for which western medicine has yet to provide long-term solutions. 7 Medicinal plants Figure 7.15 A Chinese apothecary preparing traditional Chinese medicines.
milakel Resident: cause there is a slew of cases where tcm cures otherwise terminally ill patients
Yakuzza Lethecus: good night everyone
milakel Resident: auf yaku san
oO0Oo Resident: Wiedersehen... thanks yaku
Jan Qualia: nite Yaku
milakel Resident: grass :)
milakel Resident: thank you stranger :)
Jan Qualia: Hi Bleu
Bleu Oleander: hi all :)
Korel Laloix: There are also cases where TCM created terminaly ill conditions.
Wol Euler: bye yaku, hello bleu
milakel Resident: bleu girl :)
oO0Oo Resident: really Korel?
Dash Earthboy: 'nite Yaku
milakel Resident: korel, yep
Dash Earthboy: hey bleu
Korel Laloix: TO take the whole field as good probably not a good way to go.
Korel Laloix: But research of what is there is ongoing.
milakel Resident: korel, one can argue that it was due to improper application of tcm
Jan Qualia: "Unofficial substitute herbs are also traditionally used in China if the official species are in short supply, or if there is local clinical preference for using another species. In China, such variations are the norm, and local, often highly trained, TCM doctors will prescribe accordingly. But this knowledge of herbal substitution and the complex plant naming system is difficult to transmit to foreign cultures and, given the absence of an international standardised TCM plant naming system, confusion over the identity of TCM ingredients will inevitably arise."
milakel Resident: well, my faith lies within western medicine. at least so far. here are your biases, korel :)
Dash Earthboy: mila: *where?
milakel Resident: where what? biases?
Dash Earthboy: yes
milakel Resident: upbringing in the western culture
Korel Laloix: I dont trust our system in alot of ways, and I have reservations about TCM for the same reason.
Korel Laloix: ANd other medical traditions as well.
milakel Resident: i tend to trust pills more than needles :)
Jan Qualia: "The persistent use of counterfeit herbs for certain species typically occurs when there are supply problems with the genuine article, perhaps due to over-harvesting of wild populations. One example is the heartwood of the tropical eaglewood tree Aquilaria sinensis ‘Chen Xiang’, used in TCM for stomach complaints. It is now so scarce in the wild in southern China that counterfeits made from black-painted wood of unknown origin are found in street markets and clinics; the black paint is an attempt to mimic the black resin-filled wood so typical of genuine Chen Xiang."
Korel Laloix: Or maybe I should say health or wellbing or being traditons.
Dash Earthboy: lots of room for discussion on that
--BELL--
Dash Earthboy: i'll look forward to reading the log :)
milakel Resident: *flies over to bleu*
Dash Earthboy: pax et bonum y'all
Bleu Oleander: :) Mila
Wol Euler: bye!

Wol Euler: sad but true
Bleu Oleander: hey, are you all working on your Art of Being chairs/poems?
milakel Resident: *hides*
Wol Euler sighs and averts her gaze.
Jan Qualia: those quotes are from a book called 'Why people need plants published by Royal Botanical Society at Kew
Bleu Oleander: haha
oO0Oo Resident: Thanks jan
milakel Resident: wait, poems too?
Bleu Oleander: yes
milakel Resident: or you refer to aph?
Bleu Oleander: either written by you or someone else's
milakel Resident: those that aph collecting?
Bleu Oleander: no this is for Art of Being
milakel Resident: ok
Bleu Oleander: different
milakel Resident: hmm
milakel Resident: missed that
oO0Oo Resident: Bleu what was meant by "Solomon's judgement" in reference to the ART AS BEING mailings?
Bleu Oleander: hmmm I didn't write that
Bleu Oleander: I think Pema did
oO0Oo Resident: But you responded as if understanding... thought you might know
Jan Qualia: yeh I didn't get that either
milakel Resident: meaning that everyone is equally content with the outcome :)
Bleu Oleander: I understood it in terms of Art of Being
Jan Qualia: didn't seem like the two women with the baby
Jan Qualia: maybe the knot problem
Jan Qualia: ah
Bleu Oleander: where Storm came up with a good solution to Friends of PaB contributing to Art of Being
oO0Oo Resident: yes.. I took it to be connected to Art as Being, which is why I asked you
milakel Resident: in regards to participation in the project
Jan Qualia: didn't Solomon just cut through a huge knot with his sword when challenged to unty it?
Bleu Oleander: I understand it as a comment about that solution to let others participate
Wol Euler: brb, have to administer a hug :)
milakel Resident: *nods to bleu*
oO0Oo Resident: I see.. thanks Bleu
milakel Resident: hehe
Bleu Oleander: yw 0 :)
