Until recently Storage Area Networks (SAN) were only attainable by large corporate organisations due to their high costs. The introduction of more cost effective storage technologies has meant that the entry point for storage area networking has now become much more accessible for smaller businesses.
Working with leading storage vendors, Abtec has demonstrated that by separating storage from servers, businesses are able to increase flexibility by allocating storage on an as needed basis. Our customers benefit from increased resilience and further options for disaster recovery, which were not previously available to them in a non SAN environment.
Capital costs can also be reduced by consolidating storage and through the implementation of more cost effective, high density, diskless servers.

How well will a Medium fit on someone 5'11 180 pounds? I'm worried the sleeves won't be long enough.
1 Answers
Yeah man, it's probably going to be alittle short depending on where you like your pants to fall over your boots. I'm scraping 5'11 with a waste of 34 and the Large are perfect when i'm in my boots and strapped up. Walking around they are alittle long.
I have a size 13 boot so my selection choices were limited when I was looking to upgrade at the beginning of the 08/09 season. Then my local shop mentioned the Slash as a good All Mountain board that would have more flex than my Gnu Carbon High Beam.
This board was definitely worth the money! It's lighter, and has more edge to edge flex without compromising it's ability to fly down the mountain with stability.

Totally worth the sales price. My eyes have never been treated so well and they are really sturdy.

Kristy Kay - Soup to Nuts & Bolts Back by popular demand! 1 stick of margarine, creamed with 16 oz powdered sugar, then add 16 oz creamy peanut butter and 3 cups of rice krispies. Mix until combined then roll into balls and chill. Melt 14 oz of your choice of chocolate. For me, it's white or dark. I love Baker's baking chocolate but even the melting chocolate from the craft store tastes great. Enjoy! (Makes 100 small or 50 large)
Need to add character and looking for more than paint but maybe you're not into wallpaper? Try floating "boxes" of trim moulding. Leave white or paint same as the walls. Adds drama and character easily.
Painting tips? Don't be afraid of a dark color in a room filled with light and lots of white trim. Here I'm using Ben Moore Taos Taupe. It actually helps a room feel bigger and cozy all at the same time. Also, do all the "cutting in" (painting around the trim) first, rolling the walls is the quick and easy part and it's just painting in the lines at that point.
Here's a fun springtime centerpiece. Just take a pretty, shallow (watertight) container or serving dish, some potting soil and grass seed and you can grow a small patch of your own indoors. Create an indoor garden with individual gerber daises (in florist spikes) or, great for a tabletop Easter Egg garden!
Make an impressive dessert tonight - here a simple boxed cake mix gets a red carpet look. I stacked two round cakes of different sizes for height and dimension. Next, I used a basic frosting but I put it in a ziploc bag with a pastry tip and pipped a fun top. Fancy and easy!
Absolutely loving this spring palette of navy, teal and lime green. Instantly my inspiration for my appearance on Los Angeles' KCAL news next week. Stay tuned for some great fresh ideas for you home!
Designer trick….Ever think of using drapes as shower curtains? It's true. With an adjustable rod, adjust to the appropriate height of the drape so it's around 1 inch off the floor. There's more width to drapes (100 inches versus 72") so it creates a lot of drama by the sheer volume. Often times, there's more of a selection in all price points as well!
Happy Valentine's Day! Instead of traditional chocolates, try my favorite French Macarons. Crisp meringue outside but yet gooey inside and a whole variety of fillings. Too fancy to make (trust me, I've tried over and over), so enjoy them as a gift! Pistachio is heavenly!
Often times furniture stores sell great accessories and rugs - take notice next time you're furniture hunting. I found this great mirror for a client in a furniture gallery!
Paint and new window treatments - the transformation never gets old. It's the easiest renovation you can do. Today was my favorite kind of Saturday, a beautiful client install. She got it all, paint/windows/furniture/accents..I even swapped rooms around (the dining room is now the family room…much better flow). A great day! Stay tuned for before and after pics
With the snow storm approaching, I take comfort in looking at bright and cheery fabrics. Look at this great palette of pinks, yellows and browns. Not sure how to mix and match?… fabric stores have a great selection of special order fabrics, or fabric that can be cut right off the bolt. Lay everything out right in the store to see how it looks together. A good rule of thumb, basic on the permanent pieces, and use drapes, pillows and maybe an accent chair to bring in the "fun".

Rude Health Gluten Free Honey Puffed Oats 240g
Price per 100g: £1.44
Product Description
Honey Puffed Oats
Wholegrain pure oats with a drizzle of honey.
Floaty. Oaty. And a Little Bit Noaghty
We take the finest British oats and lovingly load them into a big popping machine. We build up the heat and pressure and then kaddablooey! They blast out all over the place. Then we take each little oaty cloud, and drizzle it with just a hint of honey. On the outside they're perky and crispy with a subtle sweetness. In the middle they're floaty, oaty and dreamy.
Oaty Facts
Cooked oats can be used as a moisturiser. We recommend you check the temperature of your porridge before you stick your face in it though.
Oats were found in Egyptian tombs dating back to 2000BC, presumably so the tomb's occupants could enjoy a healthy breakfast in the afterlife. We hope they packed some maple syrup too.
Gluten Free
If you're gluten intolerant, here's some good news: this cereal is made with pure oats from sources uncontaminated by gluten-containing grains. And even if you're not, but you're regularly eating pasta, toast and sandwiches, then this will be a welcome break from wheat.
Every puff in this pack is made from one whole grain. We don't mash up our grains then re-shape them. That means they keep all their natural flavour and nutrition. So we don't have to 'fortify' them with artificial additives, because we don't process the good stuff out in the first place.
Lowers Cholesterol
Oats are a brilliant source of beta glucan, which is a brilliant thing because that's good for your heart, which is a brilliant thing because your heart keeps you alive and naughty. Brilliant.
No Added Salt or Refined Sugars
Honey tastes great because it's full of good things, including natural sugars. That's why fruit tastes good too. Just as we'd never mess around with the fruit in our cereals, we only use pure honey in this one. We choose our ingredients like our friends: we like them wild, not refined.
What gets us up in the morning.
- Making tasty breakfasts.
Life's too short to eat food you don't enjoy. So we choose ingredients that taste amazing.
- Making healthy breakfasts.
We don't over-process anything into unnatural shapes and textures. We don't need salt, refined sugars or fortifications, as our ingredients are perfect just as they are.
- Sustaining you.
There's an old saying: "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper." A bowlful of Rude Health breakfast is made to keep a bounce in your step until lunchtime.
- Sustaining the planet.
There's no point being rudely healthy on a sick planet. So we work to minimise our packaging, and to grow our ingredients where they grow best naturally. And we'll never, ever use GM.
You're in rude health when...
You win the mum's race - in your heels. You Lindyhop. You can carry your son on your shoulders - and he's 24. We wanted to make cereals which help you feel that good all day. This is one of them.
Rude Health Rants
Bottled water? Neau thanks.
Why do people buy bottled water? Have they lost the recipe to make it at home? Not only do you have to lug it home from the shops, the water has to be schlepped from whatever mountain spring it's sprung out of. On average it takes 162g of oil and seven litres of water just to make a one litre bottle of the stuff. And then we'll have to wait 450 years for the bottle to break down - if our civilization doesn't submerge in empty packaging first. Let's save our energy for importing tasty treats like decent bottles of wine, and get some nice fresh water from the tap.

"It works!"
Tried this on my 17 yr old QH gelding. He had been stiff on the right rear all winter, especially after he had been lying down. He's very suspicious about new smells in his food, so it took him a couple of days to stop snorting about the cherry flavor. Now he licks his bucket clean. His stiffness is better and he pushes off evenly on his hind legs now. Before Motion Potion he was reluctant to canter, now he's back to his normal pre-ride buck and head shake.

Carriers could use PCRF in a variety of ways, according to Chetan Sharma, an independent mobile analyst. It defines nine levels of quality of service based on network delay and packet loss, four of which are guaranteed, he said. When the network is heavily loaded, users with a more expensive plan could get their Web pages and videos faster than those with lower-priced plans. In addition, the carrier could dial back performance for certain types of applications, no matter who was using them. And when subscribers reach the monthly download limit on a particular plan, their connection performance could be dialed back.
Software vendors are developing a variety of tools for controlling services based on policy. Bridgewater, a mobile network management vendor that already offers PCRF software for both LTE and 3G, says it can extend policy-based controls out to the radio access network. Later this year, Bridgewater plans to introduce software that can selectively offload cellular traffic onto faster networks where they are available, said Joanne Steinberg, Bridgewater's marketing director. Customers with higher-grade plans might find their data connections automatically shifting to Wi-Fi when the cellular network becomes congested, if the carrier considers that a benefit, she said.
Managing users' performance based on policies could allow carriers to smooth out the peaks in data demand, producing annual cost savings of more than 10 percent for U.S. operators by 2013, according to analyst Sharma.
As long as the terms of those "gold, silver, and bronze" plans were clearly spelled out, it would be legal to offer them in most places, Sharma said. The main barrier would be consumer expectations in countries such as the U.S., where all-you-can-eat service has been the norm. For that reason, shoppers are likely to find separate classes of service in Europe first, he said.
Priority for over-the-top application providers could be a trickier proposition. Using PCRF, a carrier could put certain applications or services on a higher tier to ensure a smooth user experience even at busy times, Sharma said. For that assurance, carriers could charge a fee or a percentage of the application provider's revenue, Alcatel and other vendors acknowledged.
"I can negotiate with a carrier to get the type of service I'm looking for," said Amdocs' Guinn, giving the hypothetical example of a health-care company that gives patients medical monitors that send data over a mobile operator's network.
As long as the carrier didn't use the policy tools to give its own applications an edge over those of third parties, it wouldn't violate current Net neutrality rules in the U.S., which involve blocking or impeding a particular company's service, Guinn said.
However, to some critics, this idea raises the specter of carriers as gatekeepers on what should be an open marketplace of online applications. "That has incredibly harmful impacts on competition and ... consumer choice ... and innovation," said Chris Riley, policy counsel for Free Press, a U.S. media reform group that has fought against blocking of certain applications by service providers. Also, if a carrier can charge for priority access to a congested network, it has less incentive to invest in a fatter pipe, he said. "They are managing scarcity and creating an environment of scarcity to sell this enhanced access."
The FCC's Net neutrality guidelines only cover wired networks today, but the agency is now considering stronger rules, including ones that would extend into the wireless world. The FCC is already proposing rules that would ban carriers from charging third-party service providers for better performance, Riley said.
"There's a good argument to be made that this kind of prioritization does basically disadvantage new entrants" to the mobile application world, said Fred von Lohmann, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. That argument and others about wireless Net neutrality will probably play out over the next three years or more, von Lohmann said. "We're not going to get a clear, final answer for some time," he said.

I love people of all ages. And I love helping them discover what beautiful things they can create in the world of music! Music is such a powerful way to express ourselves, and I love helping others learn how to do this and really enjoy it.
I have played piano since I was three. When I was able to read at age four, I began lessons, and the rest is history. I graduated from Wheaton College Conservatory of Music with a degree in Piano Performance and completed a Master's degree in Piano Performance at the University of Redlands. I love to perform, have written several songs, produced three CD's all with original music that I perform, and have just completed a fourth CD featuring major classical piano works arranged with favorite hymns. I have also written a musical and am in the process of having it produced.
I have sung in choirs of all types and accompanied them on the piano as well for many years. I have worked extensively in Musical Theater, serving both as Musical Director and Accompanist for shows such as Sound of Music, Annie, and many others.
I love seeing people get touched with music and love to help others create and perform music that really speaks to the heart. It's my passion. I teach all styles of music, and love teaching children, adults, and everything in between!
My goal for the students is for them to feel good about themselves as musicians and to be able to express themselves and reach the highest level of performance possible for them.
The students have the opportunity to perform regularly in recitals as well as other venues, and we have a lot of fun! Lessons are a great experience for us all.
*** Lesson Details ***
I use a standard curriculum for students that teaches the basic concepts of music and gives them creative pieces to use in the process. I expect my students to practice, and reward and encourage them to do so. I believe that positive affirmation is the best teaching tool, so I use that as my main basis for teaching, along with discipline and being challenged appropriately. I love helping people create, so my main goal for a piece is to help the student learn to perform it in the best way possible, with plenty of technique and lots of expression, to really make it their own so they and the audience can really enjoy it.
My students are usually ready to perform at least two or three major pieces of their level at the end of six months. I give them material to challenge them and encourage them to progress. Not too much, not too little! I teach self-confidence as one the biggest tools they can use to help themselves improve.
Come join us in our studio! We have a great time together discovering what we can create in the world of music.

Music Theory, Piano
I love teaching music to anyone who has an interest! Just about everyone likes some kind of music and I want to be able to help you make your own! Whether you like classical music or that really great song on the radio we will get you to where you can play it.
Music touches our lives every day. Music is there for us to help express our emotions feelings, fears and hopes. With what you learn in your lessons you will be able to make your own music, whether it be from the printed page or something that you have composed yourself. I will provide a teaching environment that will be encouraging and caring. We will work together to create great music from your very own fingers and who knows, maybe one day you will share your talent with the world!!!
My story started on the day my mom said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHER!! Today, for your 7th year birthday, you are going to start taking piano lessons!!" Well, I didn't know what to think about that but I started piano lessons and I have been hooked ever since!
I studied piano for 6 years with a local teacher and then moved on to a teacher who could help me with more complex music. I was only able to study with her for a short time because we moved to a new town. There I found the greatest piano teacher ever. He helped me grow in my playing and performing.
After graduating from high school, I was accepted at Illinois Wesleyan University where I studied piano with Dr. Carol Thibodeaux. I also sang in the collegiate choir and had a great time in theory classes and music history.
I have had many other great experiences as a musician and teacher that include:
1. I have played and sung at many weddings, parties, and social events.
2. I continue to accompany band and orchestra students even though I am no longer teaching in schools.
3. I directed the Bell Singers choir from AT&T for about 10 years.
4. I was the music & youth director for the First United Methodist church in McKinney, TX were I lead the adult choir. I also create a children's choir program which was a great success. I was also the substitute organist when needed.
I have been involved with music of all kinds over the last 40 years and am looking forward to carrying on for many more years to come!

Music Theory, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing
With 35 years of music-related experience, Danaila is in her 15th year of working as a professional musician and teacher. She has experience teaching from 5-year-old to 55-year-old students, from the beginners to advanced students. Some of her advances students are winners of national competitions and now having a successful career as singers in Europe and America.
Born in Bulgaria, Danaila began her formal music studies at the age of 5 with piano and theory lessons. She won her first prize performing piano when she was 10 years old. Her passion for singing took her to participate actively at children's and youth choirs. As a soloist singer for a National Choir she traveled all around Europe, performing in France, Holland, Germany, Hungary, Greece inter alia. Danaila earned her Bachelor's Degree in Music Education and Master's Degree in Voice Pedagogy in Bulgaria, both with honors, and received a special mention as outstanding student. She moved to South America where for over 10 years she was a full time College Professor teaching Voice, Piano, Voice Technique and Coaching, Music Theory, Ear Training and Choir Conducting.

*** Lesson Details ***
I am a loving, very patient, passionate and enthusiastic teacher. I like to motivate, encourage and enjoy the fun making music together.
All lessons are absolutely personalized and based on the student's age, level and capacity. They are structured and focused for improving skills and achieving student's individual goals.
Students will learn how to prepare and use the body to its utmost capability as a complete instrument and resonator system; how to take and manage the proper breath for a maximum efficiency; how to use the appropriate position to guarantee a healthy sound production and singing technique that will protect and improve the individual voice and last for a lifetime.
Another part of the lesson is focused on selected repertoire: how to approach, understand and perform a specific vocal piece. If you are an advanced student you will be also taught diction in Italian, German, Spanish, Latin and Russian (depends of your needs).
I highly recommend to students to record themselves during the lesson because audio recordings and video recordings are great ways for apprentices to learn by observing their mistakes and strengths.
The piano lessons are focused in building and improving the right technique using special exercises and proper repertoire. I am familiar with many of the Piano Teaching Methods and will recommend the best for you according to your age, level and goals. Learning and playing pieces from different periods and composers is important to develop artistic sensitivity as a performer.
I specialize in classical training and I believe that a strong background in classical music is important for any musician, regardless of their musical preferences.

Mass Effect Series Recap - IGN Entertainment
What's amusing about one part in this recap is the "either Kaidan or Ashley die — depending on who you're trying to sleep with" bit. As a Joss Whedon fan, I had to laugh. What IGN says really depends on if you knew what was going to happen to who you chose to stay back. People who initially played this and didn't give the choice a second thought may have unknowingly sent the person they were intending on romancing to their death. Otherwise, what IGN says is correct.
this is sooooo true.
so depressingly true.

My Bad
How has a mistake, shortcoming, or misfortune enriched your Buddhist practice?
As students of Buddhism, we try to be good people. In our practice, we try to cultivate the paramitas— patience, generosity, exertion, and the like—for these are essential to a well-lived life. And not only do we try to be good people living a good life; we aspire to be enlightened people living an enlightened life. But let's face it: most of the time we're greedy, crazy, and full of ourselves, just like everyone else.
We are, after all, deluded beings. We make mistakes, including mistakes in how we tread the path. Some of them are enormous, some of them are silly, some of them are enormously silly. We are human beings. We suffer, like Hamlet, the slings and arrows of our outrageous fortunes, to say nothing of the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.
But sometimes it is precisely such things—our mistakes, our shortcomings, our misfortunes—that are the source of our best learning. We at Tricycle thought that in our second annual Tricycle Question we would try to shine more light on this side of practice. We asked ten practitioners and teachers to share their experience.
So here is our question:
How has a mistake, shortcoming, or misfortune enriched your Buddhist practice?

Susan Moon
I have heard people say, "The first time I sat down in the zendo, I knew I was home." That certainly didn't happen to me. Over thirty-five years ago, soon after I paid my first visit to the Berkeley Zen Center, there was a one-day sitting, and Abbot Mel Weitsman suggested to me that, since I was a beginner, I could just sit in the morning and leave at lunch. The minutes stretched out into aeons, my knees hurt, and my mind hurt even worse. What was I doing there? I must be crazy! I wanted to find the deepest truth, and they were telling me to count my breaths! I was claustrophobic in the tiny attic—hot, dizzy, overcome by waves of nausea. Everything went black, and I had to put my head down on the floor in front of me.
When I got home, my housemate asked me how the sitting was. I said it was the hardest thing I'd ever done in my life.
"Really?" he said. "What's so hard about sitting quietly on a cushion for a few hours?"
But I kept at it. I love the teachings of Shantideva, the koans, Dogen. I love bowing, incense, chanting, oryoki meals. And I love the idea of zazen, of quiet contemplation.
Many years after that first one-day sitting, I bought myself a sitting robe and went to a three-month practice period at the Tassajara Zen Mountain Monastery, in northern California. I loved everything about it except sitting zazen, the heart of our practice. Period after period, I wrestled with my monkey mind, left off counting breaths to count how many states I'd been through the night before, searched for meaning, gave up, tried again. During breaks, I sat in the garden and wept.
Then I read of the ancient Chinese Zen master who told his student, "To wear this robe and not understand the great matter is the greatest misery." This was a comfort! That old Chan master knew how I felt. I wasn't alone.
Susan Moon, a Soto Zen teacher, is the author of "The Life and Letters of Tofu Roshi" and editor of "Not Turning Away: The Practice of Engaged Buddhism."
Mushim Ikeda-Nash
In August 1988, I returned from eight months of monastic Zen practice on a mountain in South Korea. When I landed at the airport in San Francisco, my head was shaved, I was wearing gray monastic robes, I had around fifteen dollars in cash and no savings, and I was pregnant. Since the order into which I'd been ordained was celibate, getting pregnant was most definitely a mistake, revealing some deep shortcomings in both the monastic system and my own ability to keep the precepts, and resulting in the misfortune of having to contemplate getting an abortion. Most people I knew agreed that this would be the sensible thing to do.
But I just couldn't bear to. I figured I needed to find a way to continue with my practice and find work, and that's what I did. When I was five months pregnant, I sat the Rohatsu sesshin on Mount Baldy with Kyozan Joshu Sasaki Roshi. He gave me the koan "How do you manifest true nature as baby?" He also said, "You must educate baby!"
I'd read that if you stick out your tongue at a newborn, the baby will imitate you. "This may be the only chance I have to give it a try!" I thought the day my son was born. I stuck out my tongue and my son mirrored me without hesitation, thrusting out a tongue the size of a raspberry. He looked slightly amused and very tired and relieved to have made it into this next round of existence. I knew at that moment that this "mistake" had resulted in the happiest moment of my life.
But I was mistaken again. Each moment afterward has been even better. As I write this I have the flu, so I'm languishing and being cared for by my twenty-year-old. He's frying an egg for me and making some toast!
Mushim Ikeda-Nash leads meditation retreats for people of color at Vallecitos Mountain Refuge, Manzanita Village, and Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California, and is a core teacher at the East Bay Meditation Center in Oakland.
Andrew Cooper
My failure to accomplish or attain any of what I had hoped I would when I set out on the Buddhist path is, I think, the thing that has most enriched my practice, such as it is.

In 2008, my normal equanimity departed, replaced by raging monkey-mind and feelings of depression. I recognized what was happening to me. I got myself a medical inspection and was prescribed medication. On reading the drug information sheet, I was alarmed by the long list of potential side effects. I balked and gave myself six months to regain my composure by other means: by aerobic exercise, and by joining a church and meditation group. Doing so introduced me to new people, ultimately opening the way to Buddhist practice. One day, after about four months, I realized my depression had departed and my equanimity was restored. Faced with the alternatives of easy or hard, I chose the harder road to travel; that decision changed the direction of my life for the better. Looking back, I can see that I have often taken the road less traveled leading to this moment now.
Buddhism teaches that life at each moment encompasses all phenomena. Because of our profound connection with the world around us, it behooves the practitioner to reach out to others, to be engaged with our community.Self-absorption or theorization with no action is not Buddhism.
This was during my first intensive with Adyashanti. I went to the microphone with a question about the void and at one point I proudly stated that I was "open" as a person. "Well, Miss open", said he..and he continued speaking.
Just that phrase hit home and filled me with embarassment for he had seen through, and sensed my delusion. I was displaying spiritual ego up there at the microphone. He had quoted his teacher as saying, "only phonies don't get enlightened." I felt like a phoney that day.
For years I have asked job applicants a question about how they handled the worst mistake they ever made. I said I didn't want or need to know what the mistake was, but just how they handled it. There were no right answers to the question, but there was one definitely bad answer: I don't make mistakes. In about 20 years of interviews, only one person flat out said "I don't make mistakes." A few struggled with their answers as they fought the inclination to say they didn't make mistakes. Interestingly, a number were quite open and honest about what the mistake was. Many gave what they thought was the "correct" answer, i.e., that they admitted the mistake and took responsiblity. Among them it was fascinating to try to discern whether they really meant it. In any case, I found this "my bad" series interesting for the same variety of responses, ranging from personal acceptance of the respondent's fallibility to rote recitation of a book answer.
Not that my insight into myself is any better. I thought about making this comment for a few days. It was only today that I said, wait a minute, this question applies to me, too. When my wife was first diagnosed with brain cancer, I was interested in Buddhism as a philosophy, In the 15 months since then, more and more Buddhism has become a practice that has kept me sane, particularly the four noble truths. (1) Life sucks. (2) Get over it. (3) That means, get over yourself. (4) Now, move on.
Your iteration of the 4 Noble Truths tickled me to outright laughter, at the same time thinking "Damn, now I finally have a way to present this to other people that makes sense to *them* in language they understand!" I liked your whole post, but that last little bit really made it special. Thank you, Kenneth.
Thirty years ago I was in New York City staying in a friend's loft in Soho. At the time I was looking into Zen practice, had read some books but had never sat zazen.
Looking in the Yellow Pages I discovered I was a mere two blocks from the Soho Zen Center. I called and was told of their beginner's night. The night came and I arrived (early!), walking up the stairs of an apartment on (as i remember) West Broadway.
Sitting in the kitchen at the top of the stairs, reading a newspaper and drinking tea was Kyudo Nakagawa Roshi. He indicated the direction of the zendo, a small room in the front of the apartment.
There were two Asian men in the room already seated. I took my place on a cushion and twisted myself into a full lotus position. The three of us waited silently until Roshi appeared.
First thing he did was ask me (in a heavy Japanese accent) why I was sitting like that. I said I'd seen it in a book. He told me "You not ready for that" and I gratefully unfolded myself. He instructed us in breath counting and we sat for a couple of short periods. Afterwards he spoke for a few minutes. Then we were done.
I walked out of the zendo and was in the hallway when I heard Roshi's stern voice call out, "Scuse me!" Then again, louder, "SCUSE ME!" I peeked back into the zendo. He pointed at my cushion and said, "You leave your place a MESS! You clean your anus when you take a SHIT! This much more important than that!!"
I was horrified.
I slunk over and neatened my zafu and zabutan and dashed out.
Only later did I realize that in my haste I'd left my book (Aitken's "Taking the Path of Zen"). The next day I called and was given permission to come over and get it.
Roshi was sitting in the kitchen reading the paper. I went to the closet and got my book and as i was leaving I said, "I'm terribly sorry about yesterday." He looked at me quizzically. "About leaving my place a mess," I explained.
"Oh that. Forget about that." He went back to his paper.
The lessons are obvious and have never left me.

The Spanish Sharing Rule
AbstractIn this paper we estimate the intrahousehold distribution of household's private expenditures between men and women (the sharing rule) in two types of Spanish households: those in which the woman works and those in which the woman does not work. The results for working women are parallel to those obtained for other countries which indicate a proportionally higher transfer from the woman to the man than from the man to the woman, such that the proportion of the woman's share decreases both with the woman?s wage and with the man's wage. However, in households where the woman does not work, we observe a slight increase in the proportion of the woman's share when the man's wage increases.

Type 2 Diabetes: Living With Complications (cont.)
Treatment Overview
Treatment of your complications of type 2 diabetes depends on the stage of the disease.
In general, keeping your blood sugar levels in your target range can prevent or slow the worsening of your complication and reduce the risk of developing new ones. Keeping blood sugar under control can help protect your vision and kidney function even before you develop any symptoms of eye or kidney complications.
You should see your doctor regularly to review your treatment and to have screening exams and tests for complications.
Talk to your doctor about whether you should take low-dose aspirin. Daily low-dose aspirin (81 milligrams) may help prevent heart problems if you are at risk for heart attack or stroke. People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely than people who don't have diabetes to die from heart and blood vessel diseases.6
Effective treatment of high blood pressure and high cholesterol can help decrease your risk for worsening of complications. Stopping smoking and limiting alcohol to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men also can help.
For eye disease (diabetic retinopathy)
Keep all appointments with your eye specialist, and call if you notice any changes in your vision. Early detection and treatment of any changes can help prevent vision loss.
If you have severe vision loss, use vision aids to help you do as much of your diabetes care and remain as active as possible. Your local or state organization for the visually impaired can help you find vision aids that are right for you.
For more information, see the topic Diabetic Retinopathy.
For heart and large blood vessel disease
Don't smoke. Smoking increases your risk for heart attack.
Control your blood pressure. Keep it at 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or lower. Often, more than one blood pressure medicine will be needed in addition to lifestyle changes. Blood pressure medicines that can be useful include:
If your systolic blood pressure is between 130 mm Hg and 139 mm Hg or your diastolic blood pressure is between 80 mm Hg and 89 mm Hg, you may try some lifestyle or behavioral therapy for 3 months before starting medicine.5 For more information, see the topic High Blood Pressure (Hypertension).
Lower high cholesterol. Strive for a goal of less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or aim for keeping it at 70 mg/dL for low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)—the "good" cholesterol—should be more than 40 mg/dL for men and more than 50 mg/dL for women. Triglycerides should be less than 150 mg/dL. A low-fat diet, exercise, and weight loss can lower your cholesterol. But you may need to take lipid-lowering medicines, such as statins, to reach your goals. Statins reduce LDL levels and the risk of heart disease in people who have diabetes.7 They also have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by one-third in people who have diabetes, even those who do not have high LDL levels or existing heart disease.8 For more information, see the topic High Cholesterol.
For nerve disease (diabetic neuropathy)
Keeping your blood sugar levels within your target range is the only way to stop or slow the progression of neuropathy.
If you have peripheral neuropathy, you may take medicines (such as nonprescription pain relievers, creams, or prescription oral or injection medicines) to relieve pain. You also may try physical therapy or acupuncture to relieve pain and improve your physical functioning, mood, and mental well-being.
You also can make changes in your home to reduce the risk of hurting yourself because of diminished sensation. These include lowering the water temperature in your home, using pot holders to avoid burns, and removing clutter that can cause falls. For more information on making life easier when you have neuropathy, see the Home Treatment section of this topic. Also, see the topic Diabetic Neuropathy for more on this complication.
For kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy)
Early detection and treatment of kidney disease can help prevent your kidney function from getting worse. Treatment involves taking medicines that can lower blood pressure (and can protect your kidneys even if you do not have high blood pressure), keeping your blood sugar under control, and possibly limiting the amount of protein in your diet.
If you develop kidney failure, you may eventually need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
For more information, see the topics Diabetic Nephropathy and Chronic Kidney Disease.
For foot problems
Foot care is important for people with diabetes. You need to inspect your feet every day and protect them from injury. If you have poor eyesight, have someone else check your feet. If you develop serious infections or bone and joint deformities, you may need surgery (even amputation) to treat those problems.
To protect your feet:
For more information on protecting your feet, see:
What to Think About
Make every effort to keep your blood sugar levels within your target range to slow the progression of your complication and reduce your risk for developing others. Eat a balanced diet with the calories you need to help you stay at a healthy weight. Or if you are overweight, eat a balanced diet and reduce your calories to help you lose some weight. Get regular physical exercise, and take your prescribed diabetes medicine or insulin. For more information, see the Home Treatment section of the topic Type 2 Diabetes: Living With the Disease.

Some damn good wrestling on NXT revival. Thumbs up for the matches I saw. My network stream cut out after the Paige vs Emma match, but from your report it sounds like I'm not the only victim. Even during the show there was some buffering issues where the HD picture turned blurry. Watched the event through my PS3, which has been able to work without incident (until nxt) with the live stream and library since the 26th. Have since seen the main event. If this happens during wrestlemania…I don't even want to think about it. As a fan I'd just like to be able to watch it in the clarity that I can on raw every week, but this network is making me nervous.
Best Match: Cesaro vs Sami Zyan. Actually got angry during this match when I started to think of all the talent on the main roster who wouldn't be able to have as good a match (also thought this during the Paige vs Emma match). I think Cesaro needs to become a better story-teller before he gets a huge push. He looked a little awkward at times during this match.
Worst Match: C.J. Parker VS. Mojo Rawley. Just liked this one least.
Thanks, take care.
Steven Warneling
Hi Dave,
Thumbs up
Best match: Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn
Worst match: Xavier Woods vs. Tyler Breeze, if you want to even call that a match
The three advertised matches all delivered, with Zayn and Cesaro surpassing the Shield and the Wyatts as the early match of the year contender for WWE. WWE must see what they have in Zayn.
I watch NXT every week but I learned three things tonight:
1. Paige needs to use that vicious Scorpion Cross for her finish now
2. Sami Zayn is the best babyface in the company
3. Cesaro should be world champion and he should be champion forever
Keep up the great work.
RM Thompson
Thumbs Up
Best: Cesaro v Zayn
Worst: Rowley v Parker
Can wrestling be like this now? No bathroom frat humor, everything made sense, and nobody did anything terribly stupid. And how about announcers actually telling a story while getting over moves and wrestlers. Why is something so simple and effective so hard to do in WWE?
Can we stop with the 90's wrestling clichés and start to run this template into the ground?
My favorite show in forever. If this is HHH's vision, I'm hopeful.

Shockingly explicit, she takes James Deen as you'd never imagine, in a backdoor scene you'll never forget. With her tight young body and totally uninhibited sexuality, it's no wonder why she wanted to capture this moment in time. And now you can too!

Last week the president announced a four-point plan. Unfortunately, there's little buy-in from our European and Middle Eastern allies. Here's my own four-point plan that may be more palatable to our allies.
Rosh Hashanah has an obvious connection to God's Kingship. We constantly refer to Him during the Asseres Yemei Teshuvah as Melech/King. The nusach of the tefillah, referring to Rosh Hashanah as "a remembrance of the first day" (of Creation), implies a certain dimension of divine kingship operating at the time of Creation and replicated every […]
Yes, God judges, but His judgment is that of a loving father who longs for his child's quick return.
Anti-Semitism has returned to the mainstream of European society and Israel has become its focus.
A murderous uprising is taking place in Israel; On the roads, In the mixed Jewish-Arab cities.
We did not win the war in Gaza because we are still captive to the concept of the 2 state solution.
Trapped in a false notion of power, America will lose the battle in the same way Israel now loses.
Israel is our land, not theirs – Gaza included. No talk of the 2state solution; 1 state for 1 people
If this is how we play the game, we will lose. By that I mean we will lose everything.
We take US "aid" for psychological reasons-if we have an allowance, that means we have a father.
All the tactical problems have solutions. The real problem is not with the enemy; it is with us.
Why couldn't the artillery barrage have been implemented before the soldiers went into that hell?

There is NO SHORTAGE of racists, anti-semites, Islamophobes, homophobes and more out there who, I've got to believe, know how to use the internet and have Facebook accounts. I'm sure they would love to populate Facebook pages with threatening, inciting content. I tried searching. Whereas "punch a woman" yields lots of communities and pages, alternatives just don't come up. Give it a whirl. I imagine, Occam's Razor and all that, that those pages are not up because Facebook censors them and not because violent haters of difference have been miraculously purged from the planet. For example, as Angie Becker Stevens pointed out last fall in Ms. Magazine, Facebook removes anti-semitic pages.
There are real and serious issues to be resolved regarding content, the Internet, free speech and sovereignty, but by its own behavior Facebook is demonstrating how this situation is not among them. There are clearly topics and content that Facebook does not condone. And, Dom and James seem perfectly capable of insulting their critics in other ways if they have to. It's a small price to pay for making a statement against the denigration of girls and women in ways that are tied to the trivialization of both actual and virtual violence.
