5. How dealsaver.com Works
5.1. Role of dealsaver.com
dealsaver.com is a local and national deals website through which registered Members can buy certificates or deals ("Certificates") that are redeemable for goods and/or services generally from local businesses in your area and in other cities where dealsaver.com operates (collectively, these are referred to as "Merchants"). dealsaver.com and The McClatchy Company's individual local newspapers, its partners and affiliates work with Merchants to provide you with the opportunity to purchase products or services at a time limited promotional rate from a particular Merchant. dealsaver.com merely acts as the venue and conduit for this purchase: it is the Member who buys, and the Merchant who sells, the Certificate. The Merchant is the issuer of the Certificate and is the seller of the products and services to which the Certificate pertains, and as such, dealsaver.com is not responsible for the quality, safety, usability, warranty and/or any other aspect of the goods and services provided. The Merchant (and not dealsaver.com) is fully responsible for the terms, conditions and restrictions for each Certificate, and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs ("Liabilities") suffered by or in respect of you or any other customer caused in whole or in part by the Merchant or its products and services. You waive and release dealsaver.com and The McClatchy Company and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agent from and against any Liabilities arising from or related to your use of the Certificate or the goods and/or services of any Merchant.
The Merchant is also responsible for complying with unclaimed property laws with respect to any unused Certificates. Some states' unclaimed property laws may allow you to recover some or all of the value associated with unused Certificates after a period of time. If you have questions regarding this, please contact the Merchant or your state's unclaimed property administrator, and not dealsaver.com. You also agree to comply with any and all applicable tax laws, including the reporting and payment of any taxes arising in connection with your purchase of Merchant Certificates or your use of Merchant Certificates to obtain products and services, and that the reporting and payment of any such applicable taxes are your responsibility.
5.2. Descriptions of Merchant Offerings
The Certificate sets forth the goods and services that can be purchased from the Merchant issuing the Certificate. Merchants are required to provide accurate and complete descriptions of those goods and services for the Certificates. However, while dealsaver.com strives for accuracy in those descriptions, it cannot and does not warrant that descriptions of Certificates or other content of the Site regarding any Merchant's deal is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. dealsaver.com recommends you contact the Merchant directly if you have any questions regarding the description, terms or restrictions of their deal prior to purchasing a Certificate.
5.3. dealsaver.com Restrictions
There are two values assigned to each Certificate. The "Paid Value" and the "Promotional Value". The Paid Value is the actual amount you physically paid for the Certificate. The Promotional Value is the amount the merchant is offering over and above the Paid Value and is typically only redeemable for a limited period of time as specified on the Certificate ("Promotional Period"). An example might be a Certificate for $20 worth of goods from a merchant that you can purchase from dealsaver.com at $10. In this case, the Paid Value is $10 and the Promotional Value is $20. The Promotional Value expires at the end of the Promotional Period specified on the Certificate (unless expiration of the Promotional Value is prohibited by law), but the Paid Value does not expire until it is used or redeemed (except to the extent expiration of the Paid Value is stated on the Certificate and permitted by law). In this example, you can redeem the Certificate for up to $20 worth of goods and services during the Promotional Period. After the Promotional Period, you can still redeem the Certificate for up to $10 of the Paid Value unless and until said amount has been used or redeemed. Please review Section 5.4 for more information on expiration dates applicable to the Certificates.
Except as otherwise stated on a Certificate or required by law, the following terms and conditions apply to all Certificates from all Merchants:
- Certificates cannot be combined with any other coupons, discounts, or promotions.
- If an expiration date for the promotion is stated, then the Promotional Value expires on the expiration date.
- Certificates are not redeemable for cash, except as required by applicable law.
- Certificates cannot be sold or transferred.
- No refunds, cash back, or credit will be issued for the Promotional Value.
- In the event you partially use the Promotional Value, your redemption of the purchase of Merchant's products or services will be allocated by the Merchant against the Paid Value first, and then against the Promotional Value. No refunds, cash back, or credit will be issued for any partially used Promotional Value.
- Neither dealsaver.com nor the Merchant will be responsible for lost or stolen Certificates.
- Certificates may not be duplicated and can only be redeemed once. Any such duplicates are null and void.
- Certificates or the Promotional Value cannot be used for taxes, tips, prior balances, or shipping or handling charges that might be imposed, where applicable, unless otherwise specified in the Restrictions.
- Use of Certificates for alcoholic beverages is at the Merchant's discretion in accordance with applicable laws
In addition to the conditions that apply to your use of the dealsaver.com website and purchase of Certificates generally, each Certificate you purchase through the dealsaver.com website is subject to certain additional terms and restrictions between you and the Merchant that apply to that Certificate ("Restrictions"). The Restrictions specific to a given deal appear in the deal's title, description and restrictions areas of the page where you purchase the Certificate. Restrictions are also displayed on the printed Certificate. The applicable Restrictions form a contract between you and the Merchant. If you buy a Certificate, you accept those Restrictions with the Merchant. Please read them carefully. dealsaver.com is not a party to any of these terms between you and the Merchant. Certificates are redeemable in only the state (or states) where the Merchant's locations specified on the Certificate exist.
5.4. Certificate Expiration
Merchants may specify that the Paid Value or Promotional Value (or both) may expire after a specified date. For Certificates redeemable for goods or services, the Paid Value will expire 5 years from the date of issuance, except that Merchants are not permitted to expire the Paid Value of Certificates that are redeemable in any state that prohibits expiration periods, including CA, CT, FL, ME, MA, MN, MT, NH, ND, NJ, OR, RI, and WA, or provides for a longer period of redemption than 5 years (in which case the longer period shall apply). Moreover, Merchants are prohibited from incrementally reducing the Paid Value of a Certificate over time due to non-use or otherwise (e.g., through dormancy, service or similar fees). Merchants are solely responsible for complying with the laws in their states.
You must redeem the Promotional Value of the Merchant's Certificate before the end of the Promotional Period specified on the Certificate. The Merchant is not obligated to honor the Promotional Value of the Merchant Offer after the end of the Promotional Period.
If you are purchasing a Certificate that is redeemable for an event that is to take place on a specific date (e.g., a concert, art show, cruise, trip, lodging, etc.) ("Event-Related Certificate"), you must redeem the Event-Related Certificate before or on the event date since the Event-Related Certificate will not be redeemable thereafter. Unless otherwise specified in the Restrictions, you will not be eligible to receive a refund from the Merchant or use the Event-Related Certificate if you fail to redeem the Event-Related Certificate for the stated event date. Event dates are not treated as expiration dates under our Certificate Expiration policy.
For more information on Certificate expiration dates, please see our FAQ page at http://www.dealsaver.com/faq.html and carefully review the Restrictions of each Certificate you purchase to identify the expiration date(s) applicable to that Certificate.
5.5. Purchasing and Redeeming Certificates
If you want to purchase a Certificate that you see in one of our promotional messages or on our Site, you must log in to your account on our Sites and make an offer to purchase the Certificate by entering your credit card information and following all of the other instructions. If you want to make an offer for a Certificate, but you do not have a Member account, you will be prompted to create one.
Most dealsaver.com Certificates by Merchants do not have a requirement for a minimum number of Members to sign up within the prescribed time period to be issued. These Certificate purchases will be charged to your credit card for your Payment immediately on completion of your purchase, and a purchase confirmation will be emailed to you on completion of the purchase transaction. However, if a particular Certificate has a requirement for a minimum number of Members to sign up within the prescribed time period, the Certificate's offer page on the Site will clearly display the requirement on that page. In addition, Merchants may limit the number of Certificates that can be issued to any individual or in total, which limitations will be disclosed on the Certificate's offer page on the Site.
You will not receive a Certificate, and your credit card will not be charged for your Payment, until we send you a message confirming that your offer to purchase a Certificate has been accepted by the Merchant. If the required number of Members does not sign up within the prescribed time period, then the Merchant will not issue that particular Certificate. If the Merchant has placed a limit on the total number of Certificates that can be issued, then you may not receive a Certificate if you place your order after that limit was reached. If, however, you receive a notification that your offer was accepted by the Merchant, then your credit card will be charged for your Payment and you can view the Certificate by logging into your account or from your purchase confirmation sent to you by email. The purchase confirmation will contain a link to a Certificate page on the Site where you can print out a copy of your Certificate. Each Certificate can only be redeemed or used with the Merchant once. If you purchase more than one Certificate for a specific deal (subject to any applicable restrictions on the number of Certificates per customer), your purchase confirmation will contain a link to each Certificate you purchased, and you will be able to print a copy of each of your Certificates from each of the links provided.
To redeem your Certificate, you generally will bring the printed Certificate to the applicable Merchant. However, specific redemption instructions may be included on the Certificate that will describe other redemption methods (such as entering the Certificate's code into a website or displaying the Certificate to a Merchant via a mobile device). Your Certificate will generally not be usable until after the date you purchased the Certificate, which usually will be the day after you make your purchase. We will maintain the copy of the non-redeemed purchased Certificate in your Member Area when you are logged into dealsaver.com, so that you may print it at any time. You can also contact us from our Contact Us page at http://www.dealsaver.com to request a resend of your purchase confirmation that will contain a link to your Certificate for printing, until such time when the Certificate has been recorded as redeemed, or used with the Merchant.
Exceeding or attempting to exceed quantity limits when purchasing a Certificate is expressly prohibited. Using any account to purchase Certificates for resale, or for speculative, false, fraudulent or any other purpose not expressly permitted in these Terms of Service or a specific offer within dealsaver.com is also prohibited.
5.6. Certificate Refunds
dealsaver.com will always offer a full refund or credit of the Paid Value on all non-expired, unused Certificates within seven (7) days of their purchase by the Member from dealsaver.com, unless explicitly stated otherwise in a particular deal's restrictions. Requests for refunds after seven (7) days are at the sole discretion of the Merchant providing the products or services described in the Certificate. In addition, dealsaver.com will always honor your request for a refund of the Paid Value of any unredeemed Certificate if the Merchant goes out of business before the Promotional Period expires.
Except as set forth in this paragraph, dealsaver.com will not offer any refund or credit at any time after a Member's purchase for any Event-Related Certificates that take place on a specific date (e.g., a concert, art show, cruise, trip, lodging, etc.). Please refer to the Merchant's Event-Related Restrictions and restrictions to determine if any refund terms are available directly from the Merchant. If for some reason the event corresponding to the Event- Related Certificate is canceled or rescheduled by dealsaver.com or the Merchant, we, or the Merchant, will send you an email notifying you prior to such cancelation or rescheduling. If the event is rescheduled, the email to you will include the new date for the date-specific Event-Related Certificate. If you cannot make the new date for the Event-Related Certificate, you will be entitled to a refund of the Paid Value upon request within 48 hours of the email notification with the new date for the Event-Related Certificate. If, however, the Event-Related Certificate is canceled and will not be rescheduled, we will automatically refund you the Paid Value of the Event-Related Certificate.
This Refund Policy is in addition to any rights that you may have under applicable law.
If you have trouble redeeming your Certificates for any reason, please contact us at http://www.dealsaver.com/contactus.html so we can work with the Merchant to resolve your issue.
5.7. dealsaver.com Referral Program
dealsaver.com occasionally enables you to refer friends to dealsaver.com in select cities where dealsaver.com operates ("Referral Program"). A link to the Referral Program's rules will be available on the eligible city's dealsaver.com pages when a Referral Program is active in a particular city. A city's dealsaver.com pages are identified by the city reference at the top of every offer's detail page. Since Referral Program rules may vary from city to city on the dealsaver.com Sites, please ensure you follow the correct city's Referral Program rules. You may be eligible to receive rewards in the form of referral credit (credit available for use toward future dealsaver.com deal purchases) or to earn other benefits for referring friends. If you wish to refer friends to dealsaver.com, we provide you a unique referral link, which you can share directly with others via email, social media websites, or other communications methods. If someone clicks your link and takes a qualifying action, we may attribute that referral to you for purposes such as awarding reward credit. Credits are only usable in the dealsaver.com city where they are earned, and may not be pooled with other Members or combined from another dealsaver.com's city's Referral Program. For example if dealsaver.com operates a referral program in Miami, FL the terms of the Miami Referral Program apply to referrals for eligible Certificates purchased from Miami dealsaver.com pages, and any credit earned from the Miami Referral Program can be only be used for future Certificate purchases from Miami dealsaver.com pages. dealsaver.com may impose restrictions on the number of rewards allowed per member, and in dealsaver.com's sole discretion, render void any credit due or previously issued to a Member, if fraud or any activity contrary to the program's rules is suspected.
5.8. Promotion Codes
dealsaver.com may offer promotion codes ("dealsaver Promo Codes") that Members can apply to the future purchase of Certificates. In order for a dealsaver Promo Code to apply, it must be entered in the payment section of the dealsaver.com purchase transaction page when purchasing a Certificate. dealsaver Promo Codes cannot be applied to previously placed purchases. dealsaver Promo Codes are not transferable and not redeemable for cash, credit, or Referral Program rewards. dealsaver Promo Codes are not available for use on every dealsaver.com Certificate offer. dealsaver Promo Codes are only valid for purchases from the dealsaver.com's city pages from the dealsaver.com city they were issued. dealsaver Promo Codes may have quantity or time-based restrictions and other restrictions as specified by dealsaver.com. Only one dealsaver Promo Code may be used per purchase and dealsaver Promo Codes can only be used one time per person. The value of a dealsaver Promo Code can never exceed the value of a purchase.
Merchants may also issue their own promotion codes ("Merchant Promo Codes") in connection with Certificates issued by them. Such Merchant Promo Codes may be required to complete the purchase of the product or service described in the Certificate, such as completing an online purchase. Merchant Promo Codes are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Certificates, including, but not limited to, applicable quantity or time-based restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and no cash redemption.

11. Miscellaneous
11.1. Termination
We may terminate these Terms of Service, your account, or your access to dealsaver.com at any time with or without notice to you. If, at the time of termination of your account or your access to the Sites, you have not received a Certificate for any deal that you have bought, dealsaver.com will, in its sole discretion, either refund the purchase price or deliver the Certificate electronically to you. You may terminate these Terms of Service or your account by: (a) discontinuing your use of the dealsaver.com Sites and (b) destroying and removing all copies of Content from your Site (if any) and that is otherwise in your possession and control.
11.2. Jurisdiction
This agreement between dealsaver.com and its users will be governed and interpreted under the laws of the state of California, except that the Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). Except as provided in Section 11.3 below, courts located in Sacramento County, California have jurisdiction in any dispute arising from these Terms of Service. In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be in conflict with the law, such provision shall be restated to reflect the original intent, and all other terms and conditions shall remain in full force and effect.
11.3. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision ("Arbitration Provision") facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and dealsaver.com. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.
You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to our Sites or services, including any Certificates, user interfaces, these Terms of Service and this Arbitration Provision (collectively "Disputes"), shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, except that either party may seek injunctive or declaratory relief in a court of competent jurisdiction as specified in Section 11.2 of these Terms of Service. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms of Service and the termination of your account with us.
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give dealsaver.com an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification ("Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution Notice") to The McClatchy Company, 2100 Q Street, Sacramento, CA 95816-6899 Attention: Legal Department. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If dealsaver.com does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Notwithstanding the above, you or dealsaver.com may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision by mailing written notification to The McClatchy Company, 2100 Q Street, Sacramento, CA 95816-6899 Attention: Legal Department. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with dealsaver.com through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with dealsaver.com. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
If this Arbitration Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved by Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution either you or dealsaver.com may initiate arbitration proceedings. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Service, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms of Service and the Arbitration Provision. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Provision. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
You or dealsaver.com may initiate arbitration in either Sacramento, California or the federal judicial district that includes the address you provide in your Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution Notice. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes the address you provide in your Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution Notice, dealsaver.com may transfer the arbitration to Sacramento, California, in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
dealsaver.com will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator's costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law and by the AAA Rules.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void.
You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms of Service and this Arbitration Provision, you and dealsaver.com are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Provision, you and dealsaver.com might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
11.4. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
11.5. Complete Agreement
These Terms of Service represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between them, whether written or oral.
11.6. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for any failure to perform any obligation (other than payment obligations) hereunder, or from any delay in the performance thereof, due to causes beyond its control, including industrial disputes of whatever nature, acts of God, public enemy, acts of government, failure of telecommunications, fire or other casualty.
11.7. Void Where Prohibited by Law
These Terms of Service are void where prohibited by law, and the right to access dealsaver.com is revoked in such jurisdictions.
11.8. Independent Contractors
The parties hereto are independent contractors, and these Terms of Service create no partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship between the parties. You have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf and you shall not make any statement, on your Site (if any) or otherwise, that conflicts with these Terms of Service.

Tamron announces the launch of an accessory that enables firmware updates and customized setups for selected lenses
February 22, 2016, Saitama, Japan – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Morio Ono), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the launch of the SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD (Model F016), the world's first*1 fast-aperture lens with VC (Vibration Compensation). Tamron's acclaimed VC makes it possible to take handheld photographs in dim light or at night. The 85mm SP lens uses LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass elements in the optical design to minimize color fringing and to achieve sharp and clear image quality with high-fidelity color.
February 22, 2016, Saitama, Japan – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Morio Ono), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the launch of the SP 90mm F/2.8 MACRO 1:1 Di VC USD (Model F017). The new 90mm macro has been enhanced with advanced features and builds upon a legacy of superior optical performance. XY-Shift compensation has been newly added to reinforce VC functionality, further improving image stabilization from infinity to macro. Advancements in USD control software have also increased AF focusing speed, and optimally fine-tuned for various framing conditions. In addition, a high standard of Moisture-Proof and Dust-Resistant Construction has been added to prevent intrusion of dust or moisture, and a highly durable Fluorine Coating has been applied to the top element surface to prevent condensation and repel smudge-causing substances.
The photograph duo Sallyhateswing from Cologne sparkles with creativity. The two young talents Sarah Schmid and Philipp Johann have now used the new SP objectives from Tamron for a current shooting– and they were not only enthusiastic about the high resolution.
When it comes to new photographic techniques, Martin Krolop is not far away. The photo blogger from Cologne was one of the world's first photographers, who could test Tamron's new SP objectives in practice. For 14 days, he travelled with them in the legendary wilderness of Iceland.

Descripción del producto
Many people have the compassionate wish to benefit others, but few understand how to accomplish this successfully in daily life. Bodhisattvas are friends of the world, who have such strong compassion that they are able to transform all their daily activities into ways of benefiting others. The path of the Bodhisattva was exquisitely explained in the universally loved poem Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by the 8th century master Shantideva. With this commentary, the full effectiveness and profundity of this wonderful poem are revealed in full and made applicable for our time. This practical handbook is essential for those wishing to follow a way of life characterised by greater empathy and compassion for others.
This highly acclaimed work is based on the great Indian Buddhist Master Shantideva's famous spiritual poem Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, one of the best loved and most important Mahayana Buddhist texts, which reveals with poetic beauty and deep spiritual insight how to enter, make progress on, and complete the Buddhist path to enlightenment.
Shortly after he arrived at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in 1977, at the request of his root Spiritual Guide, Vajradhara Trijang Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche gave a detailed verse-by-verse commentary to Shantideva's Guide. Teaching twice a day for over three months, Venerable Geshe-la revealed the full effectiveness and profundity of the Guide, and showed in a practical and inspiring way how in the midst of modern busy daily life we can follow the path of a Bodhisattva – someone who out of compassion dedicates his or her life to attaining enlightenment.
It is these early teachings that became Meaningful to Behold, the first of Venerable Geshe-la's many books to be published.

Staff writer
Florence native Bronson Shipman returned to his hometown to become the City of Florence's first police presence since officer Michael Stone left in July.
Shipman's first official day on-duty was Oct. 7. He said the first call he answered was of a dog-at-large, and so far he has been busy.
"I've always wanted to be a police officer, even in my senior yearbook it says I wanted to be a policeman," he said. "I'm excited to start my career where I grew up."
Shipman had to complete 14 weeks of training at the police academy in Hutchinson before taking the position. He spent his time there studying law enforcement procedures, and doing physical training.
"The first few weeks were book work, the last were physical training like target training," he said.
Cadets were also required to experience the effects of pepper spray before completing an obstacle course.
"The purpose was to teach us what it's like to be sprayed, and for us to know what to expect in case we have to deploy it on the job."
He hopes to never have to be in that position while on duty; instead, he hopes to be a role model to Florence's younger generations.
"I want them to feel like I'm someone they can come to when they're in trouble," he said.
Shipman's position brought his fiancée, Jennifer, and her two kids to Florence last year. They will be married next June.
"She's excited I'll be home every night. I had to stay Monday through Friday in Hutchinson while in training," he said.
Shipman, however, is no stranger to being away from home for long periods of time. He joined the Army National Guard shortly after graduating from Marion High School in 2003, and has been deployed twice.
On his second deployment in Djibouti, Africa, he met Marion Police Chief Tyler Mermis.
"The first time I met him was in Africa in 2011," Shipman said. "It was strange to meet someone there so close to home."
He said Mermis has been helping him get settled in his new position.
"He and the Marion County Sheriff officers have been so helpful," he said. "I am so lucky."
Shipman said he is excited and nervous about his new career, and hopes to serve Florence well.
Florence Mayor Mary Shipman said Bronson has the support of not only other law enforcement, but from the community as well.
"The council and everyone is 100 percent behind him," she said. "It's been a long time coming and we're excited to have him and think he will do a fantastic job."
The new chief is the mayor's great nephew. She said she stayed completely out of the hiring process for that reason.
"The council thought he would be the best for the job because of his local ties and his military background," she said. "They thought he was the best out of the four or five candidates who applied for the position."
She said Bronson is excited to get to work, and hopes that because he's from the area he will stay in Florence awhile.
"We've had lots of people come and go over the years," she said. "He's got some great ideas about what to do in the community, and wants to work with the kids. I think he will stay with us for awhile."

Teams urge fans to purchase parking in advanceNHL.com @NHLdotcom
LOS ANGELES – The National Hockey League, the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks are requesting fans attending the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, Jan. 25 to purchase their parking pass in advance online to assist in traffic flow.
Fans can visit www.nhlstadiumseriesparking.com to pre-purchase parking passes. Parking is priced at $50 and $35 for premium parking and $20 for general parking. Parking gates will open at 3:30 p.m. A limited number of tickets to the Kings vs. Ducks match-up at Dodger Stadium are available for purchase via Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca, the official ticket marketplace of the NHL.
"We urge all of our fans to rideshare or carpool and examine all alternative transportation methods to do their part in reducing the traffic flow at Dodger Stadium," said Don Renzulli, NHL Executive Vice-President of Events. "We also ask fans to arrive early to enjoy all the pregame entertainment we have lined up to make this a most memorable and enjoyable evening."
From 3:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. PT on Saturday, Jan. 25, just prior to puck drop, part of Dodger Stadium's parking lot 4 will transform for the 2014 NHL Spectator Plaza presented by Time Warner Cable, an outdoor hockey and entertainment festival for fans of all ages, with live musical performances; interactive hockey-themed attractions, prizes and giveaways; food and beverages; and an extensive selection of officially-licensed 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series merchandise and collectibles.
The pregame festivities will begin at 6:55 p.m. PT with a performance by legendary rockers KISS followed by starting lineup introductions, the national anthem by Jordin Sparks and a few surprises.
The Dodger Stadium Express bus service will run beginning at 5 p.m. and until 90 minutes after the conclusion of the game. The Dodgers have a dedicated bus lane on Sunset Boulevard from Union Station to Elysian Park Avenue. Fans are encouraged to use the many transportation alternatives that serve Union Station and that will connect them to the Dodger Stadium Express. For specific route and schedule information fans can visit www.metro.net or call 323.GO.METRO.

James Wick
Save Date: September 23, 2005
Deb Gorombei and Lori Plate hurried through the Orlando Airport. It was Friday, September 23, 2005 and their flight to Phoenix would take off shortly. It had been a busy trip with long hours at a software conference and the two nurses along with two other R&G Medical Consultants employees were ready to be home. Missing the plane was not an option.
Arriving at the gate, they happily discovered the plane had been delayed a few minutes. They had made it just in time. As they boarded, Deb noticed a man whose coloring was grey as if he didn't feel well. The thought crossed her mind that something could go wrong on this flight.
The plane was packed, so Lori took a seat forward with Deb seated at the back of the plane. Although the plane went through some rough weather initially, the first 45 minutes or so of the flight was fairly routine. That was all about to change. In the middle of the plane, Jim Wick, in 19C, suddenly slumped in his seat.
An emergency announcement came over the PA system. A flight attendant asked if there were any physicians or RN's on board. Both Deb and Lori quickly left their seats to lend assistance. Deb's feeling of something happening on the flight was coming true - ironically, it wasn't the man she had originally thought looked ill.

Iceland has all the hallmarks of a driving paradise. The 13,000km of roads that criss-cross the country are predominantly wide, well-surfaced and sparsely populated, while its aggressive topography means you're rarely too far from a twist, turn or crest. There's just one problem: the national speed limit is 90km/h and if you're caught breaking it by any significant margin, you can forget demerit points, they kick you off the island like some strange automotive version of Survivor. There isn't even a racetrack.
Therefore, Icelandic driving enthusiasts tend to head off the beaten track in search of driving thrills, climbing every mountain and fjording every stream. As the most volcanic region on earth, this presents its own challenges, with everything from rock-strewn lava fields to ice-covered glaciers to tackle. Such an extreme environment requires an equally extreme vehicle to tackle it, which is where Arctic Trucks comes in.
These steroid-fed off-roaders grew rapidly in popularity once it was discovered that the fitment of enormous tyres, run at extremely low pressures, allowed vehicles to effectively 'float' over snow. This suddenly meant locals could travel all over the island during the freezing winters yet still drive on regular roads, something not achievable with a snowmobile.
The modifications were initially offered through Toyota Iceland, but as the only way to fit these enormous tyres (up to 44 inches in diameter) was to raise the ride height dramatically, Toyota got cold feet when it was discovered that this had alarming effects on vehicle dynamics. Despite Toyota actively discouraging customers from having the modifications done and refusing to honour warranties, demand continued to increase to the point where one-time Toyota employee and now chairman of Arctic Trucks, Emil Grimsson, decided there must be a better way.
Emil and his team began to modify Hiluxes and Prados (what Icelanders call 'Landcruiser 120s') to accept these enormous tyres without unduly compromising the handling. After years of development, Arctic Trucks (the company split from Toyota in 2005) now has it down to a fine art, exporting vehicles for military and scientific use in environments as diverse as Afghanistan and Antarctica.
The vehicles are essentially offered in three levels of modification to accept either 35-, 38- or 44-inch tyres, though as the six-wheel drive Hiluxes custom-built for Antarctic exploration show (yours for around €150,000), the sky's the limit. Unsurprisingly, the smallest tyre option is the most common, but it's at the 38-inch mark where the re-engineering starts getting serious.
As most of Arctic Trucks' customers are new-car buyers, usually the vehicle is delivered straight from the dealership to the workshop. Then it is stripped to its component parts – including separating the body from the frame – and work begins. The wheelarches are cut away, the front body mounts are relocated and inner arches cut away and re-welded to provide enough clearance for the enormous rubber.
In order to keep the vehicle as low as possible and retain as much of the standard vehicle's dynamic capability as possible, the front suspension pick-up points are then all relocated down and forward, stretching the wheelbase to increase stability. If 44-inch tyres are specified, the rear suspension cops a similar treatment, extending the wheelbase by a further 16 centimetres. The steering geometry is then modified and a piggyback ECU installed to recalibrate functions like the speedometer. It's an incredible amount of work, so it's little wonder speccing an 'Arctic Trucks 38' adds roughly 50 per cent to the price of a new Hilux and takes four weeks to complete.
On the road the result feels like, well, a regular Hilux. Unsurprisingly, handling isn't its strong point, but there's none of the 'up on stilts' feeling that you'd think would come from jacking up a four-wheel drive ute. Performance doesn't seem to suffer and those massive, balloon-like tyres offer a lovely cushy ride. As we turn off the highway onto rocky, muddy trails, it soaks up everything we ask of it. Granted, none of the off-roading we attempted was particularly challenging, but it seems to be the ideal way to see the astounding scenery this unusual country offers.
The collapse of Iceland's economy following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis almost forced the closure of Arctic Trucks; from delivering 474 vehicles in 2007, orders dropped to just nine in 2009. Thankfully, an expansion of business activities and increased exports allowed it scrape through, and the future looks bright, with contracts with the Swedish and Norwegian military and growing business in Antarctic exploration. But its core business remains modifying road-going Toyotas and, best of all, offering them for hire, allowing regular tourists to experience Iceland's picturesque landscape up close and personal from the driver's seat.

When a post is hard to write...
My profoundest apologies to you all if you've been checking here over the last couple of weeks only to find nothing new. Some of you have even written me asking me if everything was all right, and I can assure you all that it is.
I just set about writing a post about madeleines and my grandfather which I meant to post last week, and wouldn't you know, it's the hardest damn post I've ever had to write. I have so many things to say about him, though I don't mean to say them all, but just the few of so many things I could say have to be exactly right, and I'm finding it terribly difficult to strike the right tone, turn out the right prose, and the thing is that I'm incredibly stubborn...and not in a good way. So instead of writing an interim post until I got it right, I just kept thinking to myself, tomorrow, tomorrow is the day I will get it right. And many tomorrows have come since then.
So, while I don't know which day exactly it is going to be, I can promise that it is going to be very soon, and in the meantime please take a look at what happens when I procrastinate (aka here as avoision or the cohesion of avoidance and aversion) and mess around with photos and settings in Aperture. I don't have time to be playing these games people, and yet here I am playing them.
What do you do when you procrastinate/have avoision?
P.S.: Is it that obvious that I covet a medium format camera?

After emerging victorious in the 2011 Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championships, the Lipscomb Lady Bisons are also getting some recognition in the latest United State Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) poll.
The Lady Bisons jumped from 10th in the last poll to sixth in Monday's rankings, jumping ahead of A-Sun foe North Florida, as well as Alabama and South Florida.
The ranking equals the best ever for a Lipscomb team. The Lady Bisons broke into the poll for the first time last season, reaching as high as sixth in the poll prior to last season's A-Sun Championships.
Last weekend, the Lady Bisons dusted defending champion North Florida and the rest of the field on their way to the program's first A-Sun title. Lipscomb sophomore Tessa Hoefle and senior Ashley Lehman were named first team All-Conference, while freshmen Minna Fields (second-team, All-Freshman) and Maggie Lawrence (All-Freshman) also earned accolades.
The men's team earned a program-best fourth-place finish at the A-Sun Championships. The men's squad moved up to 13th in this week's poll after not being ranked in the last USTFCCCA poll.
The cross country teams will return to the course Saturday, Nov. 12 when they compete in the NCAA South Regional in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The University of Alabama will host the meet on the Harry Pritchett Cross Country Course.
Check LipscombSports.com for all the Lipscomb cross country and track and field news, and be sure to like us on Facebook (Lipscomb University: Track & Field).

Who wants even more hardware to add to their laptop? I realize that you might need a DVI to HDMI adapter but I wonder how easy it is to find adapters for DisplayPorts or docking stations. Ebay?
I know Thinkpads have a good reputation and probably sell a lot on name recognition alone. But, Lenovo did poorly on a/the laptop reliability survey and don't have much in the way of options. You are stuck getting an ATI card practically down the entire model line (well, Thinkpads) and the rigid keyboards that impressed Thinkpad and even other notebook owners is gone now. Lenovo notebooks are said to be like other ones but I'm only speculating. I think it's good for one brand to mostly have 'business-line' notebooks but I don't think they're the same company anymore.
