Check-in and checkout were smooth. Good location with ample parking. Room was clean, spacious. Bed was okay. Complimentary breakfast was below average can be improved by manifold. Recommended for stay.
Check-in staff was polite. Room was clean. Bed provided a restful sleep. Towels were fine. Hot water in shower/tub seems to be maxed out at 'warm.'Free wireless has been marketed as, 'high speed'...not exactly. Speed measured about 2.2. When logging in, hotel offered a faster service for $6 per day. In the times I've stayed here before, I didn't see this offer. The free high speed was ok for youtube/HBO streaming at regular resolution on ipad. There wasn't enough bandwidth for HD streaming.Didn't try the breakfast because I had to leave earlier than 7am breakfast start, but, I don't think this Marriot, or, any Marriott has switched out its morning bricks i.e. bagels.The office chair in the room has a torn seam, the corner arm of the love seat was showing wear through and one of the ceiling lights was burnt out. Plenty of air conditioning.
We had a lot of trouble with noise from 10 pm. until 2 am. The staff did respond and speak to the people but it continued well into the night and started early the next morning.The overall noise level was very high. I understand that it is a family focused property but it seemed excessive.
We booked this hotel at the last minute when we were forced to turn around when Donner Pass was shut down. We got a great rate on two king rooms and had no trouble at all checking in. The staff was friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was the ususal continental fair. My only "issue" which was no fault of the hotel was the many sports teams staying there being rather loud late in the evening.
I was held up at airport in atlanta - got to Roseville way after midnight. I was tired - my credit card was hi-jacked - and I was asking for aaa discount. The Hotel was accomodating in every way - and let me use my marriott points to pay for room after 45 min of trying to work with customer service discover.Its is more than clean and very well set up for a family stay or a business trip.Breakfast is healthy and indulgent.GREAT HOTEL - PERFECTION by the folks who work here
General manager David was very help on questions I had. His staff was very professional and helpful. The rooms were well maintained during my stay. I loved the pool and spa to relax. The exercise room had a lot of variety. The breakfast was very good
a nice stay at Townhouse suites . Excellent location , close to shopping , restaurants ,freeways and Thundervalley Casino .spacious room with kitchen , wi ifi and pass through closet . Computers off the lobby and breakfast ( minimal ) daily . ample parking and friendly staff.

To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/. Transcript ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST: Instagram: The New Political War Room? By Sam Sanders • Sep 3, 2015 For some time now, Donald Trump has been attacking Jeb Bush, mostly in media appearances or on Twitter. But, over the last few weeks, Trump has been using Instagram in his fight. Trump has been posting campaign-style short videos to his Instagram feed, attacking Bush's record of support for the Iraq War and even posting a video of Jeb's mother, Barbara, urging him not to run for president. NLRB Denies Northwestern University Football Players' Bid To Unionize By Sam Sanders • Aug 17, 2015 In a unanimous decision, the National Labor Relations Board has rejected Northwestern University football players' petition to form a union by declining to assert jurisdiction in the case. The decision effectively overturns a 2014 ruling by an NLRB regional director that found the athletes meet the broad definitions of employees under federal law and thereby could form what would have been the nation's first student-athlete union.

Julio Jones had Under Armour make him custom cleats
According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Julio Jones has his explosiveness back after suffering a broken foot last season and having surgery performed shortly thereafter.
Jones is still limited during training camp but should be 100% by the season opener against the New Orleans Saints. He is practicing one day and then sitting the next. Before Julio was hurt in Week 5 he had already caught 41 passes for 580 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Julio Jones is not only just rehabbing from surgery but taking preventative measures to try to prevent future injuries to his feet. He spoke to Ledbetter about his new custom built pair of cleats.
Under Armour built me a cleat from the ground up. It's working good for me. They made it wider. There's a steel shank the bottom as well. They made a great cleat for me.
Julio hasn't lost much speed, as he caught a 40-yard pass from Matt Ryan with cornerback Desmond Trufant in tight coverage on a fly down the left sideline. The Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith added this, "I was very excited to see Matt and Julio hook up on some long balls."
This isn't the first foot surgery that Julio Jones has had either, his first one came in February of 2011 after discovering a stress fracture during the scouting combine. Hopefully for Falcons fans, Julio's new cleats will protect his feet enough not to have any more injuries during his career.

.... I loved this one so much my family has just brought it for me in all three colours... I heart this design so hard!! xxoxoxoxx
Please bring this shirt back! I want it sooo bad! I love NBC and Lock, Shock, and Barrel are my favorite characters. Plus, it's always nice to see something other than Doctor Who every other day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Tardis hater. I like Doctor Who, it's just that I need a little variety in my wardrobe
this shirt should be brought back, my friend loves everything nightmare before christmas. its hard finding stuff she dosent have, this would be perfect for her birthday. this cereal really should be in stores, plenty buys.
Neat. The Oogie shirt reminds me of my Invader Zim cereal shirt. Getting both. Asking me to pick between NBC shirts is just cruel. :p
I can't post in the forum for some reason, I either get a Javascteefurycopy error (no many how many times I tell it to allow JS on the forum page) or it just refuses to load. So I know this is the wrong place but if you're interested in a Women's Large Doctor Who shirt please email me at [email protected]
Why isn't this back in Yellow? It kinda ruins the theme with the other companion shirts.
I love both of these designs. There aren't many NMBC shirts that emphasize the Halloween aspect of the film over the Christmas angle, and both of these do that very effectively. That said, I already have three fake cereal shirts, while I love how Halloween Road combines one of my favorite films with one of my favorite bands, so I gotta grab that one. Great artwork Nik, but I have to pass only because of the frequency of fake cereal. I hope to buy one of your upcoming designs soon.
Twisell said: [...] So i fell sad for you if you can't wear charcoal, but I like the fact that TeeFurry refuse to sell ugly combinations ! I couldn't agree more. I was thinking if I could dye it. But it wouldn't be good for the fantastic design. It really would be a shame to ruin the cracks in the road and Jack his suit.

Forest fires ravage Greece, killing 49

ZAHARO, Greece–Fires pushed by gale-force winds tore through more parched forests, swallowed villages and scorched the edges of Athens yesterday with ashes raining onto the Acropolis. The death toll rose to at least 49 as the government declared a nationwide state of emergency.
Soldiers and military helicopters reinforced firefighting forces that were stretched to the limit by Greece's worst summer of wildfires in decades. In the most ravaged area – a string of mountain villages in southern Greece – rescue crews picked through a grim aftermath that spoke of last-minute desperation as the fires closed in.
Dozens of charred bodies were found across fields, homes, along roads and in cars, including the remains of a mother hugging her four children.
And new fronts emerged. Dozens of fresh fires broke out across the country – including some blamed on arson – with the worse infernos concentrated in the mountains of southern Greece.
By sea and by land, authorities evacuated hundreds of people trapped by the flames.
An extra 500 soldiers were to join firefighters today, the fire department said. At least 12 countries also pledged reinforcements, including firefighting aircraft and crews.
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis said arson was suspected in some of the blazes.
"So many fires breaking out simultaneously in so many parts of the country cannot be a coincidence," Karamanlis said in a nationally televised address. "The state will do everything it can to find those responsible and punish them.''
A 65-year-old man was arrested and charged with arson and multiple counts of homicide in a fire that killed six people in Areopolis, a town in the southern Peloponnese, said fire department spokesman Nikos Diamandis. Separately, two youths were arrested on suspicion of arson in the northern Greek city of Kavala, he said. Their parents were also to face charges, he said.
Hospitals across Greece were on alert, and the Health Ministry sent tents for 1,500 people to the south to house those made homeless.
The worst affected region was around the town of Zaharo, south of Ancient Olympia in the western Peloponnese. Thick smoke that blocked out the intense summer sun could be seen from more than 100 kilometres away.
The blaze broke out yesterday afternoon and quickly engulfed villages, trapping dozens of people during the night and killing at least 39. Scores of people were treated in local hospitals for burns and breathing problems.
Zaharo Mayor Pantazis Chronopoulos said he feared there would be more dead.
"We still have missing (people) who haven't been found. We have about 10 missing," he said, adding that soldiers had begun checking burned houses for more possible victims.
"I feel deep grief for our dead," Karamanlis said in his address. "I feel deep pain for the mother who perished in the flames with her arms round her children. I feel anger – the same that you feel.''

His Holiness The Dalai Lama
In preparation for His Holiness the Dalai Lama's visit to the United Kingdom, a group of FPMT students has been working with the office of Tibet and the local Tibetan community to ensure that His Holiness gets the warmest possible welcome when he arrives in the UK. Calling themselves, Open Arms 2015, they have organized a social media campaign to welcome His Holiness with khata offerings.
UPDATE: FPMT student Alison Murdoch writes:
"Following an overwhelming response to the Open Arms 2015 initiative www.openarms2015.net, we are now inviting friends and supporters in any country to post an image of themselves offering a khatag (offering scarf) to The Dalai Lama.
"Every image received by midnight UK time on Friday 18th September will be presented to The Dalai Lama, as a joyful international expression of support for his message of peace, compassion and universal responsibility in his 80th birthday year.
"Please encourage friends, colleagues and family of any age, culture or walk of life to join us in creating the world's largest katag offering.
"The easiest way to upload your photos is via the Open Arms 2015 Facebook page. Alternatively, for those who don't use facebook, you can send them to email@example.com."
For more information, visit Open Arm 2015's website (http://www.openarms2015.net/) and their Facebook and Twitter pages.

We are very saddened to share the news that His Eminence Choden Rinpoche passed away on September 11 at 1:30 a.m. India time at Sera Je Monastery in South India. Choden Rinpoche was a highly respected Buddhist master and a much loved teacher, who taught at many FPMT centers over the years.
Choden Rinpoche was born in 1933 in eastern Tibet and was recognized at age three. At age eight he entered Rabten Monastery, and at age fifteen he went to Sera Je Monastery, where he studied the five main texts. Choden Rinpoche became an expert on the teachings on Vinaya – monastic discipline. He was a highly respected scholar and was chosen as one of two Sera Je monks to debate with His Holiness the Dalai Lama during His Holiness' geshe exams.
During the communist Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959, Choden Rinpoche stayed in Tibet and went into solitary retreat. He never left his small, dark room in Lhasa from 1965 to 1985, and was virtually unknown in his monastery for this reason. In 1985 he was allowed to leave Tibet for India and has since taught for many years at Sera Je Monastery in South India as well as at Dharma centers throughout the world, including many FPMT centers.
On August 29, 2015, His Holiness the Dalai Lama met with Choden Rinpoche in New Delhi. His Holiness told Choden Rinpoche that he remembered the first time that Choden Rinpoche came to his attention. It was many years ago during an audience with monks at Norbulingka, the summer palace of His Holiness in Tibet. His Holiness said that he remembered seeing how the rays of the sun were falling on Rinpoche's head and how a bee landed on his head. Choden Rinpoche said he had no memory of that. His Holiness said that at the time he thought that Choden Rinpoche was a magnificent lama. [Photos and translated English text provided by Ven. Tenzin Gache and Ven. Tenzin Namdak of Sera IMI House at Sera Je Monastery. Rebeca Cuan Corral provided a Spanish language translation of the meeting.]
His Holiness also said that since arriving in India, Rinpoche has done his best in many ways such as giving teachings, imparting philosophy lessons to the monks and sharing the Buddhadharma with students throughout the world. His Holiness said that it is important to rejoice in this work.
If you would like a more detailed description of the event of his transition, as well as the collection of prayers that were advised by Choden Rinpoche himself before he showed the aspect of passing away, for all of his students to offer at this time – please click here.

Last week, we shared stories of how FPMT centers, projects and services were celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday. Since then, we've received a few more updates, which means more rejoicing for us all!
"The Dorje Chang Institute community joined by members of the Auckland Tibetan community and Chinese-Tibetan Friendship Association celebrated His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday with long life prayers, light offerings, Tibetan song, a Tibetan tune on violin, a shared community dinner and homemade cake," wrote Ven. Gyalten Wangmo, the spritual program coordinator (SPC) at Dorje Chang, which is in Auckland, New Zealand. "Auspiciously, one of the members of the Chinese-Tibetan Friendship Association offered a scrolled poem inspired by His Holiness that he composed at Wu Tai Shan (Five Peak Manjushri Mountain) in China."
"The Aryatara Institut in Munich celebrated the birthday of His Holiness by creating tsa-tsas followed by an animal liberation," shared Robert Schwabe, SPC at Aryatara Institut. "Starting at 6 p.m. more than 17 people came to create tsa-tsas of Shakyamuni Buddha, Green Tara, Padmasambhava and Buddha Maitreya. The participation was higher than we expected. We even ran out of tsa-tsa molds, so people had to wait a little until the molds had dried and could be used again.
"At 7:30, we paused the tsa-tsa creation with performing an animal liberation from the FPMT prayer book. Some people brought their own dogs from home. The Aryatara Institut bought 240 house crickets from the pet shop that were meant as food for reptiles. We recited prayers and mantras for the benefit of these animals while some people circumambulated a stupa. One participant later said that she felt happy and a strong connection to the crickets she was holding during the circumambulation. The house crickets were later freed by the participants in a nearby park.
"After the liberation, people stayed to continue creating more tsa-tsas and also to paint them in gold.
"It was a very joyful event. People were very happy to have come and reported looking forward to the next opportunity to create tsa-tsas and liberate animals."

From "FPMT's First Request to His Holiness," Mandala October-December 2011:
"In 1979, FPMT made its first official request to His Holiness the Dalai Lama to give teachings in centers of the newly forming organization. FPMT repeated the invitation in 1980 and again in 1981. Upon the last request, His Holiness accepted. When Lama Yeshe heard the good news, he commented that his 'job had been successful.' His Holiness visiting Lama Yeshe's centers guaranteed their future growth and the success of Lama's work to establish Buddha's teachings in the West.
"During the tour, which occurred in September and October 1982, His Holiness visited three European FPMT centers – Nagarjuna Institute in Spain, Institut Vajra Yogini in France and Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa in Italy. It was by all accounts a tremendous, auspicious success. Since this first invitation, many FPMT centers worldwide have been blessed to host His Holiness for public talks and empowerments."
After His Holiness the Dalai Lama's first visit Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa in 1982, Lama Yeshe had this to say about the visit's significance:
"For His Holiness to come to the Western world is the insurance that Buddhism has been established culturally in the various countries and centers, that Buddhism is not some kind of trip. It is insurance that Buddhism is something cultural, something truly and sincerely involved in serious work, and is becoming part of the future for the Western world. I really feel that His Holiness coming to Europe is like Guru Shakyamuni coming to this earth to make firm the Dharma, the wisdom light that is the path to liberation for all European people. …
"I think His Holiness is the light to purify all kinds of negativities that are vibrating – objectifying Buddhism and, within Buddhist circles, holding on to sectarianism. I think His Holiness is the completely equanimous representative of not only the Tibetan tradition, but of the entire world's religions: he is the universal representative.
"Therefore, especially at this critical time, I think His Holiness the Dalai Lama's coming is very important for all people, not only for religious people, but even non-religious people, to make the world community harmonious. His Holiness' message, from my understanding when listening to his lectures, is universal love, universal compassion, and for each of us to take universal responsibility to bring universal people to happiness. Somehow everybody understands that message.
"I think the Dalai Lama's coming is an incredible, incredible blessing. I and the Western people really feel something very unusual now that His Holiness has come. There is some kind of incredible harmony and good understanding between everyone in our global community. I think this understanding brings better peace, liberation and harmony to the world. I think it is very important because His Holiness teaches the best way for harmonious development, individually and universally."
Lama Yeshe's complete comments are available on Bringing Dharma to the West, a DVD from the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive featuring Lama Yeshe's 1982 interviews with Geoff Jukes and Brian Beresford about Buddhism coming to the West, the development of FPMT centers and related topics.

"[I would like] for FPMT to offer service to His Holiness the Dalai Lama as much as possible and to be able to fulfill His Holiness' wishes. This is the highest priority for the organization," Lama Zopa Rinpoche said, outlining his Vast Vision for FPMT. Throughout the past several decades, FPMT centers, projects, services and students have been involved in organizing and sponsoring His Holiness' public talks and tours, supporting His Holiness' projects, helping the Gelug monasteries in India and creating interfaith dialogues around the world, among other activities.
"FPMT's Relationship to His Holiness the Dalai Lama" in Mandala October-December 2011 illustrates further the special relationship between His Holiness and the broader FPMT organization:
[Lama Zopa] Rinpoche is someone who follows my guidance sincerely, very expansively and with one hundred percent trust. He possesses unwavering faith and pure samaya; not only has he pure samaya and faith but whatever I instruct, Zopa Rinpoche has the capability to accomplish it. So whatever dedications Lama Zopa Rinpoche makes, I also pray to accomplish this and you should do the same thing. – HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA, DECEMBER 2006
Whenever possible, FPMT adopts His Holiness the Dalai Lama's advice. And when appropriate, FPMT acts to help support Tibet's struggle for autonomy as advised by His Holiness.
As explained by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, FPMT's relationship with His Holiness is definitive: "The most important thing, the heart thing for FPMT, however many billions of projects we have, the most important thing is to do what pleases most His Holiness the Dalai Lama."
This respect and gratitude for His Holiness held by FPMT also extends to all Tibetans. "It is important to repay the kindness of the Tibetan people, who have preserved the complete Buddhadharma, not only Vajrayana but the whole path; they have preserved all the teachings for a long time," Lama Zopa Rinpoche commented in 2008. "Due to this we non-Tibetans are able to receive the complete teachings, enjoy and make our lives meaningful."
Every year, FPMT offers a long life puja for His Holiness and supports His Holiness' efforts.
Over the years, His Holiness has visited many FPMT centers, including Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa last year, FPMT International Office and Maitripa College in 2013, Kurukulla Center in the United States in 2012 and Chenrezig Institute in Australia in 2011.
Through the merit that is being created by all the service being offered to His Holiness and all the celebrations for His Holiness' 80th birthday that have taken place at FPMT centers, projects and services around the world, may the relationship between FPMT and His Holiness continue to flourish.
You can read more stories about His Holiness' activities and visits to FPMT centers on FPMT.org and Mandala.

There were no shortages of beautiful cakes and offerings at the celebrations for His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday that took place at FPMT centers, projects and services around the world.
Tara Institute in Melbourne, Australia, wrote:
"We celebrated His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday with our annual puja for His Holiness and afterwards the Tara Institute Study Group cooked and served lunch for the community. It was also the occasion of the 80th birthday of our resident geshe, Geshe Doga, a week later for which we also had a cake. So two birthday cakes!"

Land of Medicine Buddha in California, US, celebrated His Holiness' birthday at the Mahabodhi Stupa that they are in the process of building.
"Ven. Drimay led a motivation and practice in front of an altar for His Holiness. We then went for a pilgrimage around our Eight Verses Trail. We stopped at each verse to read and reflect on the verse and how to bring the Dharma into our lives. At the end we returned to the stupa site to make light offerings and prayers that His Holiness remain with us for a long time and dedicated the merit of our practice to that," Land of Medicine Buddha shared on their Facebook page.
"Eleven-year old Mia Stafford began her offering of running 108 laps (miles) around our Eight Verses Trail to benefit our Mahabhodhi Stupa project. Such immense compassion generated by a young girl! #withcompassion." (To learn more about Mia's offering, see the page on Land of Medicine Buddha's website.)
Shantideva Meditation Center in New York City, US, shared this about their gathering for His Holiness:
"The celebration started at 7 p.m. with a guided meditation on Chenrezig. We continued with the Four-arm Chenrezig practice and chanted the Chenrezig mantra for 20 minutes. Afterwards we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to His Holiness and shared a delicious cake."
Many other FPMT centers, projects and services honored His Holiness the Dalai Lama on his 80th birthday, doing practice and prayers and making offerings. There is so much beneficial activity in which the international FPMT community can rejoice. Please join us in appreciating and sharing joy for these celebrations.

FPMT Mongolia and Gandan Do Ngag Shedrup Ling Center participated in a big 80th birthday celebration for His Holiness the Dalai Lama organized by all the Buddhist organizations in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. They write:
"It was a first time we had a big celebration like this and was initiated by Özer Rinpoche. The event was held at the National Circus. Gandan Do Ngag Shedrup Ling Center offered the publishing of the prayer books for the celebration. Many of our friends and students attended the event."
Kurukulla Center in Massachusetts, US, had two birthday events. Geshe Ngawang Tenley, resident geshe at the center, sent this message about the first event, a lobster liberation:
"Happy Birthday to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
"All dear brothers and sisters, [on Sunday] we performed a wonderful animal liberation in the Atlantic Ocean. We liberated 361 lobsters (over 500 pounds). Thank you for joining with us. This is a gift from all of us for His Holiness' 80th birthday. To save the lives of sentient beings is the best practice for long life. We dedicate all our merits for the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and all our teachers. All friends please REJOICE! Rejoicing is the best practice. Lama Tsongkhapa said the least effort, most merit is to rejoice in the merit of others."
Scott Buquor, from Kurukulla Center, shared this about the second event:
"In the early morning of July 6, the Tibetan community of the Boston area gathered at Kurukulla Center in honor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday. Sponsors arrived at 6 a.m. to prepare tea and sweet rice. About 200 members of the Tibetan community arrived soon after. Geshe Tenley led the procession to usher in the portrait of His Holiness to the gompa, and the community performed many prayers and offered khatas to His Holiness. After the puja, everyone gathered outside for sangsol (incense offering). Birthday cake was enjoyed by all, as well as traditional songs and dance. All of these offerings and prayers were dedicated to the long life of His Holiness. Many people stayed through the morning to relax, enjoy the friendly community, and do circumambulation around the Kalachakra stupa."
Judy Wagner, spiritual program coordinator at Buddha House in Australia, wrote:
"On the evening of July 6 Buddha House had a wonderful celebration to honor the 80th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
"Our resident teacher Ven. Thubten Dondrub led us in the sadhana 'The Inseparability of the Spiritual Master and Avalokiteshavara.' This beautiful sadhana was actually written by His Holiness.
"Over 30 people attended and we were also pleased to have Jampa Choephel join us. There were some new students, some older students, and even a couple who had no Buddhist experience that had attended the Learn to Meditate session earlier and felt such a wonderful atmosphere in the gompa that they asked to stay and join the celebration.
"After the sadhana and long life prayers for His Holiness, Ven. Dondrub and Jampa Choephel blessed the food and we all continued to celebrate over supper.
"Donations were collected for the FPMT Nepal Earthquake Support Fund."
Centro Nagarjuna Valencia in Spain shared this:
"To celebrate His Holiness' 80th birthday we got up early and hung up many prayer flags. Geshe Lamsang, our resident geshe, did an incense puja, offering clouds of billowing aromatic white smoke. In the afternoon, we offered an auspicious sweet rice dish and tea, and watched together some videos of His Holiness, including the celebrations at the Glastonbury music festival in the UK. This was followed by Lama Chöpa puja with tsog offering, sandwiches and a birthday cake. To finish off a very enjoyable day, there was a present for everyone and Geshe-la gave out a special protection amulet from Ganden Monastery. Geshe-la spoke of the incomparable kindness of His Holiness and we made extensive prayers and dedications for his long life."
Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds shared this report of their celebration:
"Jamyang Leeds hosted a party to celebrate the 80th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The day started with a Medicine Buddha puja and long life prayers. The center looked resplendent with offerings of flowers and food; it's a wonder the tables could stand the weight! Next to the shrine was a lovely, large, smiling picture of the Dalai Lama draped with a white khata. We took time to reflect on everything he does to benefit all beings and to rejoice in his efforts! Shared lunch was a social event with masses of Tibetan food kindly supplied by Leeds-based Tibetans. We watched a series of videos of His Holiness, learned how to put on a Tibetan chuba, tried some Tibetan dancing and had a rousing chorus of 'Happy Birthday to You' and 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.' Who knew we were such a melodious and enthusiastic bunch! Some people had traveled quite a distance to join in the celebrations so were sent home with food packages and leftover momos were still in the fridge for Geshe Tashi's teachings the next day. Do have a look at the video our Facebook page to feel part of the day."
Continuing this week, we'll have more stories on celebrating His Holiness' birthday and FPMT's long-time commitment to supporting the realization of His Holiness' wishes. You can also find more photos and stories on FPMT's Facebook page.

An important priority for FPMT is offering long life pujas every year for our immeasurably precious teachers: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and our Spiritual Director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. All FPMT centers, projects and services as well as many FPMT students contribute to these annual pujas.
A long life puja is a ceremonial long life offering to the spiritual teacher. This practice is done to request the spiritual teacher to live a long life for the preservation of the Buddhist teachings and the happiness of all living beings. Many enlightened beings such as Buddha Vajradhara have taught the complete Buddhist path to enlightenment according to the needs of individuals. In order to sustain the Dharma in the world for a long time and to benefit beings, the lamas incarnate as ordinary people. The lama serves as representative of all the Buddhas, benefiting others in ordinary form, as stated by Vajradhara:
In the degenerate times, I will abide in the form of the spiritual master.
With the aim of benefiting sentient beings,
I will abide in ordinary forms.
Additionally, in early 2014, Lama Zopa Rinpoche translated this special quote from the Stainless Sky Sutra into English:
Ananda, the Tathagatas do not appear to the sentient beings, but the virtuous friend completely appears and reveals the Dharma and plants the seed of liberation; because of that, cherish the virtuous friend as more special than the Tathagatas.
The tradition of offering the long life puja became prevalent in order for individuals to accumulate merit through sincere respect and devotion toward the guru, to create the cause for the guru to live long, and to help Buddha's teachings proliferate.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche traveled to India to attend the long life puja offered to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on June 21, 2015, and on behalf of the entire FPMT organization, Lama Zopa Rinpoche made offerings to His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the elaborate long life puja. The long life puja offered was also in honor of His Holiness' 80th birthday, and marked His Holiness' actual birthday according to the Tibetan calendar.
Please rejoice in this offering and also in His Holiness' 80 years of life tirelessly benefiting others.
You are welcome to contribute any amount to the Long Life Puja Fund for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from which FPMT contributes to a long life puja being offered to His Holiness every year.
You can learn more about the Long Life Puja Fund or other ways to support our lamas through the Lama Zopa Rinpoche Bodhichitta Fund.
Celebrations of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday, which is July 6 on the Western calendar, are taking place around the world. His Holiness is spending his birthday in Southern California in the US at the Global Compassion Summit. (For news and photos of the events, see #WithCompassion on Facebook and DalaiLama.com.)
FPMT spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche, in a praise for His Holiness, said:
"Your Holiness is the great treasure of infinite compassion embracing all us sentient beings, the sole source of benefit and happiness of all us sentient beings, the sole refuge of all us sentient beings. Your Holiness is incomparably kinder to us than all the past, present and future Buddhas. We the fortunate disciples who have been fortunate to see your holy body and hear your holy speech make the following request.
"The kind Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, out of his great compassion, descended to this world of Dzambu in the Arya land of India for the sole purpose of bringing benefit and happiness to migratory beings by leading us to liberation and full enlightenment. … (Read the complete praise as a PDF.)"
Following the inspiration of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, FPMT centers, projects and services have been celebrating His Holiness' birthday. Many have organized special events and picnics. Ven. Tenzin Tsultrim shared what happened in Singapore:
"Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Singapore dedicated a full and meaningful day of prayers and practice in honor of His Holiness' 80th birthday. Starting in the late morning, we organized a special animal liberation practice and with generous contributions from our members and friends, were able to liberate about 492,800 'la-la' shellfish at sea. In the afternoon from 1:30 to 6 p.m., a large group participated in the recitation of the Golden Light Sutra. Never mind that today is Monday, people made the effort to take time off from work for the practice.
"We capped our all-day celebration with a Namgyälma puja in the evening, led by our resident teacher, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Chonyi and ABC's sangha. Everyone who attended could take part in this puja of the long-life deity Namgyälma as we have the practice available in English. We had an enthusiastic turnout with about 200 ABC members and students coming to our prayer celebration. In addition, the just-published July/August issue of our newsletter, TASHI DELEK, pays special tribute to His Holiness with a cover feature highlighting a topic that our precious guide in the Dharma holds dear – compassion. We send our heaps of prayers for His Holiness to remain with us forever."
Losang Dragpa Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, had a night of offerings and mani mantra recitation for His Holiness' birthday.
Tara Institute in Melbourne, Australia, celebrated His Holiness with a birthday puja on July 5 and combined it with a celebration of Geshe Doga, their resident geshe, who turns 80 next week.
Buddha House in Adelaide, Australia, celebrated His Holiness on July 6 doing the practice "The Inseparability of the Spiritual Master and Avalokiteshvara," which was written by His Holiness. Afterwards they had coffee, tea and cake.
Lama Yeshe Ling Centre in greater Toronto, Canada, is celebrating His Holiness' 80th birthday with a picnic at Dundas Valley. Center director Deborah Klassen wrote, "We are encouraging everyone to bring their friends and family. There will be singing, games, walking meditations and a lot more."
FPMT North American centers, projects and services are celebrating His Holiness' birthday as Compassion Day. Check out Compassion Day on Facebook – www.facebook.com/CompassionDay – for photos and stories.

An inspiring number of celebrations of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 80th birthday are taking place around the world.
On June 21 in Dharamsala, India, a huge long-life ceremony was offered to His Holiness. Dalailama.com wrote, "At 8 o'clock His Holiness was escorted from the gates of his residence up to the Tsuglagkhang [the main Tibetan temple], where he greeted the assembled guests and took his seat on the throne. Seated before on a line of thrones were the leaders of the Tibetan spiritual traditions: to the right, Sakya Daktri Rinpoche, Menri Khen Rinpoche, Gyalwang Karmapa, Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche, Taglung Shabdrung Rinpoche, and to the left Ganden Tri Rinpoche, Katok Getse Rinpoche and a representative of the Drukchen Rinpoche. Behind them sat abbots and retired abbots of the great monasteries."
The long-life offering was presented by the Central Tibetan Administration, the Domay Community and the Gelug International Foundation and presided over by Sakya Daktri Rinpoche. "During the ceremony the Tse-ring Che-nga and Nechung Oracles appeared separately in trance. They each paid their respects to His Holiness and gathered spiritual and political leaders together in front of him to say prayers," Dalailama.com reported, where you can also find photos of the event.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche attended the ceremony. FPMT North America regional coordinator Drolkar McCallum was also there and was part of the procession of offerings. Drolkar shared that she "had the honor of offering texts to His Holiness! What a thrill!"
You can watch a video of the ceremony, including dances and singing offered to His Holiness and His Holiness' remarks.
Following the long-life ceremony in Dharamsala, there was the 1st Gelug International Conference, of which Lama Zopa Rinpoche attended the first day. Delegates to the meeting, which included many high lamas and other representatives of the Gelug tradition, discussed preserving the Gelug tradition in the future. His Holiness attended the final session of the conference.
Photos of the Gelug International Conference are on Dalailama.com. Radio Free Asia has a report on the conference in Tibetan and you can see video from the conference on Tibet Online TV.
On June 28, His Holiness was in the UK and attended the Glastonbury Music Festival. His Holiness gave a talk to 8,500 and participated in a panel on climate change. He then went on the main stage with American singer Patti Smith and had a crowd of more than 120,000 sing him "Happy Birthday." Geshe Tashi, the resident teacher at Jamyang Buddhist Centre in London, accompanied His Holiness on stage.

The International Campaign for Tibet is reporting that Tibetans in Tibet are also celebrating His Holiness' birthday despite Chinese repression.
They report Tibetan man in Amdo saying: "In the summer, Tibetans often take picnics out to the grasslands, away from the urban areas where they are more easily observed by the authorities. So most of the celebrations of the birthday took place in these areas, with friends, family, the local community gathering with large photographs of His Holiness or thangkas of the Bodhisattva of compassion displayed on makeshift thrones with offerings of seasonal fruit, with songs and dances connected to the 80th birthday year." For more, including photos, see ITC's report.
ITC also reports that Germany has issued a commemorative postage stamp recognizing His Holiness' 80th birthday.
Former U.S. President George W. Bush offered His Holiness a birthday cake during a luncheon, which was part of His Holiness' visit to Texas, U.S., on July 1.
Many video tributes have been created for His Holiness' birthday, including a short video by the Central Tibetan Administration and the Cambodian Children's Fund.
Shambala Sun magazine is creating a commemorative issue for His Holiness' 80th birthday. And there are many more activities and event schedule for this weekend and the following weeks and months of the next year.
Next week, we'll share stories on how FPMT centers, projects and services are celebrating His Holiness' 80th birthday. We'll also look back at the history of His Holiness and FPMT.
FPMT.org shares news of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and of activities, teachings and events from FPMT centers, projects and services around the globe. If you like our news updates, consider becoming a Friend of FPMT, which supports our work.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche has been invited to attend the long life puja (tenshuk) for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in honor of His Holiness' 80th birthday in Dharamsala, India, on June 21. The long life ceremony has been organized by the Gelug Tenshuk and Gratitude Celebration Organizing Committee with the Tibetan Government in Exlie and the Tibetan Do-med Association.
As part of the Gratitude Celebration, the first ever international Gelug conference will follow the long life ceremony on June 23-24. The conference will be attended by the Gaden Tri Rinpoche, Jangtse Chöje Rinpoche, Sharpa Chöje Rinpoche, Samdhong Rinpoche, and present and former abbots of all the major Gelug monasteries and nunneries, as well as many other great masters, lamas, dignitaries and representatives from Gelug centers, nunneries and monasteries.
As a result of Lama Zopa Rinpoche traveling to India, the following changes have been made to his Australia tour schedule:
- Rinpoche's teachings at Kunsang Yeshe Retreat Centre on June 17-18 have been cancelled;
- The June 19 teaching on Karma has been rescheduled to June 14, 10 a.m.-noon at Minh Dang Quang Temple;
- The long life puja at Vajrayana Institute on June 21 has been cancelled.
Rinpoche's teachings at Vajrayana Institute June 13-15 are unchanged and will be webcast live.
After Dharamsala, Rinpoche will resume his teaching tour in Russia with the scheduled public talk "How to Find Peace" on June 30 at Ganden Tendar Ling in Moscow.
For details, see Rinpoche's schedule.

Lindenhurst family man waits patiently to move back into South Fort Street home
Lindenhurst homeowner Emil Caiazza has been living outside his residence, in a mobile home with his dog, while he awaits the reconstruction of his house that was destroyed during superstorm Sandy. He is just one of several residents of that street still awaiting to return to a sense of normalcy. Videojournalist: John Paraskevas (Jan. 31, 2013)

Originally posted on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 12/2/12
KANSAS CITY, Mo. What could anyone really say? The Kansas City Chiefs had just won its second football game of the year, 27-21 against the Carolina Panthers, but then what? You celebrate? You don't celebrate? You focus on football despite what was on everyone's minds? Or do you focus on the dead and the grief and the anger? Kansas City head coach Romeo Crennel focused on all of it. He stepped to the podium after his team's win and talked about the obvious, about all the aftermath of Chiefs linebacker Javon Belcher having just 30 hours earlier shot and killed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and in the parking lot of the practice facility in front of Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli turning the gun on himself, pulling the trigger and killing himself. "I want to start with yesterday's tragedy and remind everybody that it involved two families," Crennel said. "Our prayers go out to the family of Kasandra Perkins. They are grieving and we...

I am the AC who wrote that vision I had when I was 15. I tuned 44 today. So it begins. Does anyone have any questions or need any encouragement?
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The author claims that he/she presently wants nothing to do with religion:
Then why is the story filled with religious/biblical undertones & references????
- 2013 to 2020 = 7 Year Period, gee where did that come from?
- Reference to Moses flood at the end
- Reference to 'God' or the Creator as 'Lord'.
- Harvest/Rapture like event at the end
Why would someone who calls christians 'hypocrites' and says he/she wants nothing to do with religion write a story with multiple references that come directly from christianity & the bible? Why would someone make multiple references to christianity/bible and claim that the 'Lord' was a 6 foot tall medium build male with white hair when the bible contradicts this by saying that 'God' is LIGHT and that no man shall see the face of 'God'???? How's that for a contradiction?
The author of this message was also alleged to have written this follow up on another forum:
So there's 'no warning', no 'predicting it', no 'prophet' will warn of it, and 'no one will know', yet the author is sitting here telling us this will happen in a few weeks while his/her own story directly contradicts this account by telling us there will be no messenger, no warning, no prophet telling us of these events. That's weird huh?
I find it comical how the introduction to the story is meant to touch on all the various belief systems - mentioning atheists, new agers, christians, and the likes of other religions. Almost as if to intentionally eliminate suspicion of bias in advance of the story. To appease to a larger audience right?
Couple this in with the fact that you've got 3 different anonymous australian AC's posting this same story on the same day and one of which is embellishing the account by adding phrases like "
I've never seen anything like it
" (yeah right) and encouraging others to post this vision elsewhere.
Sorry but this has all the ingredients for being Grade A:
People, no divinely inspired vision/message is going to be told or relayed in this contradictory manner and it's certainly not going to contain any elements designed to generate a fear response within you. The follow up message contains phrases such as:
'terrifying abyss'
'milllions dying, war, death'
'devastating, permanent end of western civilization'
'world shaking'
'sudden and shocking'
All of this bullshit is designed to play on your emotions and generate anxiety/fear and make the story seem more sensational and thus, believable. Funny how this story is being posted on multiple conspiracy forums and by multiple users from the same location.
Words of advice:
- Do not allow yourselves to be easily swayed or manipulated by your emotions during these trying times because people will seek to test you like this, especially online.
- Do not listen to anyone who tells you what will happen in the future and gives you exact dates/years. No one knows this information, whether they claim to have had a dream, a vision, or to be psychic - NO ONE KNOWS because the future is not written in stone and is currently being created in the PRESENT moment!
- Do not listen to anyone who acts as a prophet while also telling you there will be no prophet (MAJOR RED FLAG)
Finally: Recommend unpin this B.S.
/end rant
Nicely worded Anhedonic

You know what no one has ever said? The Maserati Quattroporte needs more Italian style. Just the same, Maserati has teamed up with Ermenegildo Zegna to give the QP just that.
Back in April, Maserati announced a new partnership with men's clothier Ermenegildo Zegna. We wondered at the time how a Maserati could possibly get any more stereotypically Italian stylish, but now the Modenese automaker is presenting the answer in this fresh take on the new Quattroporte.

A long way up...
After staying out until 3am last night we still all managed to get up by 8.45 and out and about by 10 (ish). We walked to Vintgar gorge which had been highly recommended to us by our hostel owner, although she failed to mention the one hour ascent in blistering heat. Shout out to Anna for map reading and leading us all the way there, only helped by a couple of road signs and the occasional local to check that we were on the right track. Stopping halfway at a café was ...
A Day of Travel Through Austria
I did a whole lot of research yesterday which counted for nothing today as we completely changed our plans. I was going to take Kerry to some ice caves and the pretty town of Helstatt but it meant a bit of back tracking and we decided to push on towards Croatia. Because I refused to drive on the motorways so we could see more of Austria it took us from 10.15 till 5.15 pm to get to our destination. There was ...
Watersports day
... aspect when we jump, otherwise we are fairly likely to smash into the rocks at the bottom, if not there are also plenty of rocks at the side too. We spent about 3 hours making our way down the river. Vying not to be the last one to jump/slide/abseil so you could see everyone's faces as they threw themselves into the unknown or maybe so not everyone would be watching you. It's been a constant competition today for a mention on the blog. My fav ...
Best day so far
Splashed out on a taxi this morning to the train station (actually cheaper than the tram). Got a taxi partly because Emma was too scared of the tram after a close call yesterday where she almost got trapped alone on the tram. Picture her running up the tram banging on the windows, shouting 'can you stop please' with a tram-full of amused locals and us outside laughing more than we were trying to help. It was great because it meant we could get up an ...
My version of Villach
... Upon arrival it was just a short walk to the hotel. A real tray of a four star luxury after the cheap places of the past few days. It was half board and included free entry into the thermal baths and spa resort. Bliss. The room was lovely so after a shower Beaver head off for some rest and relaxation in the spa. After a few hours it was time to dress for dinner which was an Adriatic buffet. After which she ( now almost comatose) turned in for the ...

Research Institution:
AbstractA critical component of the Ballistic Missile Defense System is the high power radar. These radars support the capability to identify, assess, and engage threats to the U.S., deployed forces, and allies. The current radar deployments utilize single-instance, symmetric multiprocessor machines. Both HP and SGI SMP processors have become or are becoming obsolete and the radars will require an upgrade to a scalable computing architecture. Future radar developments require a new computing architecture due to the limited availability of the existing HP platforms. The next generation architecture is envisioned to be a heterogeneous cluster of blade processors connected by a high bandwidth fabric, like InfiniBand. This new cluster computing architecture must meet stringent real-time computing requirements, and be highly scalable. This Phase II SBIR provides a better understanding of this technology and the complete implications of its use. Additionally, it will provide the Government with the most viable and cost effective approach to migrate to a scalable, distributed computing architecture. The specific focus of this Phase II SBIR is the development of a tactically-representative distributed Raytheon Radar Tracker prototype. This will be developed in 18-months with a portion of technical collaboration subcontracted to Raytheon IDS.
