Leafs stun Sabres late in overtime, spoil Grigorenko's first goal
Lockout helped Grigorenko develop into NHL talent
'"We have an additional three or four months of development that we otherwise wouldn't have had with a longer season," Regier said Tuesday in announcing Grigorenko would be staying with the Sabres this season. "This isn't a full-season decision; it's a half a season, albeit a half a season with more pressure."'
Buffalo Sabres keep teenager Mikhail Grigorenko
'"Two things, really, that went into the decision … its his development in conjunction to his ability to help us win hockey games," GM Darcy Regier said Tuesday at the Sabres morning skate in advance of their tilt with the Leafs Tuesday night.'

Toronto 4, Buffalo 3 (OT)
'It seemed as though the game would go to a shootout as time was winding down in the extra period until Frattin grabbed an outlet pass near the left boards just inside the blue line and cruised towards the net before slipping a shot inside the near post for the deciding tally.'

'The Sabres are now losers of four games in a row and head to Boston to face the Bruins on Thursday.'
Sabres Stafford Ice Cold
'f you look at shooting percentages, Stafford has been trending downward. In his first full NHL season, Stafford scored on 19% of his shots. It dropped in each of the next three years to 15, 10 and then down to 7%. It jumped up to a career best 17% two years ago(in the contract year) and plummeted back down to 8% last season when he had a career best 226 shots on goal.'
Sabres welcome in two new defensemen
'Both Mike Weber and T.J. Brennan got their first action of the season.'
Leafs beat clock and Sabres, 4-3
'Grigorenko, Buffalo's first pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, learned Tuesday morning that he would not return to his club in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and would instead spend the rest of the season with the Sabres. He said he started to build up some confidence as the third period went on, but losing the game definitely put a damper on the thrill of scoring his first NHL goal. "I was really excited," Grigorenko said. "It would've been a great night for me. I was really happy I scored a goal and then we lost the game."'
Frattin scores late to bury Sabres in OT
'Frattin drove down the left wing while fighting off Jordan Leopold, and then roofed a shot over the right shoulder of goaltender Ryan Miller for his second goal of the night.'
Grigorneko awaits decision on his fate
'"From the start of the year to where he is now, he's a much better hockey player," Regier said by phone Monday. "If we were making this decision back in September, I'd argue it would have been a lot easier than it is now."'
Sabres waiting to make decision on Grigorenko's future
'"There's lots of issues, and part of it is we've got issues at center with winning draws and the youth at center ice and whether Ville (Leino) can come back in and play," Ruff said. "That's all part of the discussions there with center ice."'

Anthony Weiner: I'd Probably Be Mayor if Not For the Internet
(Ben Yakas) The clock may be resting perilously at 14:59, but Anthony Weiner is still finding ways to stay in the public eye, whether it means submitting to interviews with Sean Hannity or throwing tantrums over little kid's pee. GQ has the latest look at the former candidate, and it may be the saddest peek into the Carlos Danger's psyche yet—it's one in which he calls himself "an empty, soulless vessel," arrogantly dismisses the reporter, and clings onto the notion that he was just not born at the right time to be mayor: "And maybe if the Internet didn't exist? Like, if I was running in 1955? I'd probably get elected mayor."
The piece, "The Year of Living Carlos Dangerously," pointedly starts with reporter Marshall Sella offering Weiner his theory about sexting and the hypocrisy of the electorate: "Weiner mulled over my generational theory, then called it 'overly simplistic,' which is what people always say when they want to gain the intellectual high ground on a topic." Even after he's been ridiculed in public for his arrogance, even with the opportunity to put a final spin in one of the last post-mortem pieces on his failed campaign, Weiner can't help himself.

Ed Sheeran Slams Feud Rumors With Miley Cyrus at the VMAs
Photo: Getty Images
By Marc Inocencio
Ed Sheeran attended the MTV Video Music Awards and was honored with the Best Male Video Moon Man for his "Sing" visual with Pharrell on Sunday.
Just seconds after his name was announced, the British singer's achievement had already been eclipsed by his over-analyzed victory waltz to the podium, in which he made a hard pass on Miley Cyrus, who — to many observant spectators — mouthed a foul word at the 23-year-old.
The quick encounter became headlining news with beef theories fueled by a statement Ed gave to The Mirror last September where he called Miley's twerking "a stripper move." With an overflow of assumptions from fans and tabloids, On Air With Ryan Seacrest phoned in the "Don't" singer to put the speculations to rest.
"Well, I don't know why people were expecting that [high-five]. I've never met her," he tells us. "There was a high-five between me and Scooter [Braun] because I know him, and that was the only high-five. I don't know what people we're expecting."
After slamming rumors and confirming that there was no bad blood on his end, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer praised the Bangerz artist, who won Video of the Year for "Wrecking Ball," and said he was open for a Miley-Ed collaboration.
"I think she's a fantastic artist," he said. "I think she's got a great voice, writes great songs."
Also during the phone call, Ed answered a series of rapid fire questions from Ryan and Ellen K. about his U.S. tour and songwriting for other artists.
"The rest of this year, I've kind of focused on writing songs with and for other people," says "The A Team" singer, who wrote over 120 songs in one year. "I've started little ideas for the next record, but my main focus towards the end of the year is [to] just kind of unclog the pipes a little bit and just write for the sake of it."
The redhead, who penned One Direction's "Little Things," Taylor Swift's "Everything Has Changed," and a track for Hilary Duff's comeback album, also collaborated with Usher, Skrillex, and Diplo for a song that may be featured in Usher's forthcoming eighth studio album.
Ed's X album is available on iTunes now, and he is slated to resume his tour tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Ed is also scheduled to perform on Saturday, September 20 at the two-day iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

The rose has held a place of honor in gardens around the world for centuries, and roses are enjoying resurgence in popularity. Gardeners find that roses fit today's lifestyle.
Roses are available as potted specimens or as bare-root plants. In general, roses require water, nutrients, sunlight, some pest control and an occasional trim.
George Nash of the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society demonstrate the art of rose pruning when the Horticultural Society meets 9 a.m. Jan. 19 on the grounds of Plymouth Village, 900 Salem Drive, Redlands.
New rose growers, as well as seasoned growers, are welcome to participate in this hands-on program covering rose pruning, planting and more among the roses on the grounds of Plymouth Village.
There is no charge. Participants should bring their own pruners and gloves.
Plymouth Village, a continuing care retirement community, is on a 37-acre rolling campus between Palm and Highland avenues east of Cajon Street. The grounds have more than 1,400 roses, including Peace, perhaps the most famous garden rose of all time, and Iceberg, possibly the most popular, well-known white rose.
Others include the hybrid tea Double Delight, an All-America Rose Selections (AARS) winner; Julia Child, a golden floribunda AARS winner hybridized by Tom Carruth of Weeks Roses; the almost black Taboo; and many more varieties, some planted in the 1950s.
Plymouth Village is the location of the historic Charles Kendall house and was the former location of the historic Edwards Mansion and grove.
Throughout its history, Redlands has been known not only as "the city of beautiful trees" but also as a community filled with roses.
When John Terell, whose front yard was named the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society's December 2006 Front Yard of the Month, researched the design of his front yard, he reached back to the century-old plantings in Redlands and selected roses to be a significant part of his yard.
Roses continue to add beauty to many gardens and parks in Redlands.
Roses have been grown and loved since the earliest of times. During the 17th century, roses and rose water were used legal tender. According to fossil evidence, roses have been in the Northern Hemisphere for more than 35 million years.
Throughout their history, roses have inspired poetry, literature and artistry; they have been symbols of love, beauty, war and politics; and they have inspired books, movies and music.
Roses do well in pots and in the ground, so they are easily incorporated into patios, gardens and parks.
The Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society has offered a program on rose pruning for the public for a number of years.
Geri Blackburn, a Plymouth Village resident and Horticultural Society member, said, "When the society held their pruning demonstration here before, the roses produced the most beautiful blooms they have ever had."

David Foster was a member of the Gulf Coast League Twins when he was making a phone call. Lightning hit the phone line and zapped him. His season and his career in baseball was over.
As general manager of the Twins, Terry Ryan made many scouting trips in his life. On one of these scouting trips he was sitting behind the backstop. A back broke, got through the backstop, and struck him in the forehead.
At the end of the 1990 season Kent Hrbek missed the last week and a half of the season. He was wrestling with the clubhouse attendant and sprained his ankle.
When Terry Mulholland pitched for the Twins he woke up with an eye injury. His eye had been scratched by a feather from the pillow he had been sleeping on.
Last season Carlos Gomez got into a fight. The problem was the fight was with a revolving door at the Metrodome. The door won and Gomez had to get stitches in his forehead.
Even with all of these weird injuries, there is a new call-up for the Twins that has quite an interesting season with his appearances on the injury report. Ben Revere was the Twins first round pick in the 2007 MLB Draft. Here is a run-down of the injuries that have been a part of Revere's wild ride to the majors this season.
1. During a bullpen session Revere stood in against pitcher David Bromberg. Bromberg proceeded to hit him in the knee.
2. Revere tried to break up a double play earlier this season. His reward for doing this was a knee to the head. Luckily this injury didn't end like Justin Morneau's did earlier this season.
3. Revere tried to avoid a tag at home plate by sliding head first. The catcher spiked Revere on the hand and caused him to get stitches.
4. The most serious of the injuries occurred a little over a month ago. Revere was hit in the face with a fastball. He made a speedy recovery and will wear a batting helmet with a face mask for the rest of the season.
Revere seems to be an accident waiting to happen. His luck has changed and he is now a member of the major league squad. Hopefully he doesn't bring the weird injury bug with him.

I haven't posted on here in ages!
At the moment they are being converted to pellets as the vet suggested it...although I don't really like the Pretty Bird brand because of the colouring but...I was going to get this one after it has all gone.
Mainly because they sell it over here. Oh and it is organic which I approve of.
Although I think Pretty Bird would go down better with Ollie as she doesn't like "healthy" food. Although they already do have Pretty Bird it is just they were on "Jungle Munchies" or something which is the pellets and the seed. lol
Yeah and good news I actually seem to have found a vet who knows about birds, the other ones I tried didn't know much because they specialise in small furries etc.

You need a persitent usb install, check out the tutorial section, there's a tut on how to do this.
good luck,
Per the directions on this site I downloaded the BT ISO and "burned" it to a USB flash drive. But when I download a file and save it to root is disappears on the next reboot. Is this expected behavior? If so, is there anyway I can save a file to the BT USB? Or is it like burning a CD, no further changes.
You need a persitent usb install, check out the tutorial section, there's a tut on how to do this.
good luck,
Your install is not persistent. How did you "burn" it to usb? Did you use UNetbootin?
Anyway...This link is very helpful in creating persistent usb and sd card installs. I have used it many time for USB and SD. Enjoy!

You can either let it download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.

SPRING LAKE, MI – Ten years ago, a talented team of people introduced a cool, affordable office furniture business—originally called izzydesign—to architects, interior designers and facility managers at NeoCon World's Trade Fair in Chicago.
Then, founder and CEO Chuck Saylor outlined the company's mission: to support new technologies, the environment, the 24/7 blending of life and work—and a new generation searching for fulfillment beyond the corner office. His prediction: The New Workstyles of collaboration were the new power of, by and for the people.
Now, technology and the way we work completely reflect that insight. And izzy+ is in the right place at the right time with the right digital tools, at the newly designed izzyplus.com, to support people at this new level of engagement. In other words, the izzy+ brands—ABCO, Fixtures Furniture, HÅG, Harter, izzy and Zoom Seating—that joined in 2008 to become a single business, just digitally grew up to be Better Together.
"We have wanted to do this for a long time. I am so excited," says Saylor. "Now our customers can find what they need and search between our brands seamlessly. And we are reaching out to them online, to ask questions, to learn, and to establish the same kind of real and engaging relationships that we build every day in person. The new izzy+ Web site speaks volumes about who we are. And we're just trying to be ourselves."
At Home on the Home Page
At izzyplus.com, the digital storytelling starts (where else?) on the home page. Meet the izzy+ team behind this uniquely appealing, approachable business—at the new Truman lounge. As you browse the brand pages, they're peeking out from behind the Audrey storage unit, perched on top of the Dewey classroom table and demonstrating the mobility of Zoom Seating products. (They definitely are not professional models.) And they're having fun throughout the site with the products they make, sell and use.
That's quite a departure in the office furniture industry, where products often lead and people hang back in the supporting cast. But at izzy+, people and relationships are a key part of the brand.
Our Favorite Things
That's why the home page of www.izzyplus.com features a Dewey bookshelf stocked full of their favorite things, including ice cream, a mini MINI Cooper and ingredients for S'mores. A row of photos includes Isabelle (the Izzy of izzy+), Hannah (Izzy's sister and namesake of one of the company's top-selling chairs), and smiling babies, curious toddlers and top-of-the-class kindergartners who inspired the company's product names. But take a closer look—literally. Click on one of those photos.
ZUI (Zoomable User Interface) Technology
You can zoom in on cartoon-like balloons on the bookshelf, using Seadragon tiling image technology that works just like mapping a street address online. The closer you get to the bookshelf, the more detailed the stories you'll uncover about the importance of good design, quality coffee and teaming up with others. Many of the stories are self-contained. Others link to pages within the Web site. It's all part of the izzy+ brand: genuine, fun and a little unexpected.
Helping Customers Find What They Need
From the home page bookshelf, the left-hand navigation or the brand categories located across the top of the page, customers and specifiers can navigate in many ways through the company's products and brands, now in one integrated site. They can search by market, explore potential furniture settings and rely on the izzy+ Fuzzy Floorplan™ to design more inspiring, human-centered places and spaces. They can also find resources, from fabrics, colors and finishes to brochures and CAD symbols, brand histories, a company timeline, news, and product images.
Going Mega Social Media
At www.izzyplus.com, people can use social media to be part of the smart, engaged, global community that company leaders envisioned in 2001. Designer professionals and facility managers can connect and share best practices. Sales reps and dealers can add installation photos and problem/solution examples. The new Community page encourages customers and visitors to tag photos, post ideas and recommend video links through Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Vimeo, and more.
"Ask a question, start a conversation or like what you see," says Debbie Goode, director of marketing communications for izzy+. "The people who design, make and sell our products are ready to learn even more about how our customers live, learn and work. Our goal is to continue creating new and better products to support people in the work places and learning spaces of the future."
Design Vox created the new site for izzy+, with new photos of izzy+ employees, friends and family by Dean Van Dis Photography, both from Grand Rapids, MI.
About izzy+
The people at izzy+ (www.izzyplus.com) design, manufacture and market office furniture and seating that help designers create inspiring spaces for Learning, Working, Living and Healing. You can find these award-winning products under the brand names izzy, HÅG, Harter, Fixtures Furniture, Zoom Seating and ABCO Office Furniture. Based in Spring Lake, MI, izzy+ is a business of JSJ Corporation of Grand Haven, MI.

Genetic counseling
Genetics is the study of heredity, when a parent passes certain geneson to their children.
- A person's appearance -- height, hair color, skin color, and eye color -- are determined by genes.
- Birth defects and certain diseases are also often determined by genes.
Genetic counseling is the process where women and their partners learn more about:
- How likely it will be that their child would have a genetic disorder
- What tests can check for genetic defects or disorders
- Deciding whether or not you would like to have tests
Couples who want to have a baby can have tests before they get pregnant. Doctors can also test a fetus (unborn baby) to see if the baby will have a genetic disorder, such as cystic fibrosis or Down syndrome.
Who May Want Genetic Counseling?
It is up to you whether or not to have genetic counseling and testing. You will want to think about your personal desires, religious beliefs, and family circumstances.
Some people have a greater risk than others for passing on genetic disorders to their children. They are:
- People who have family members or children with genetic or birth defects
- Jews of Eastern European descent. They may have a high risk of having babies with Tay-Sachs, or Canavan's disease.
- African-Americans, who may risk passing sickle-cell anemia (blood disease) on to their children
- People of Southeast Asian or Mediterranean origin, who are at a higher risk of having children with thalassemia, a blood disease
- Women who were exposed to toxins (poisons) that could cause birth defects
- Women with health problems that may affect their fetus, such as diabetes
- Women who have miscarried (lost a baby before it could be born)
Doctors also suggest testing for:
- Women who are over the age of 35, though genetic screening is now available for all ages of women
- Women who have had abnormal results on tests such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
Talk about genetic counseling with your doctor and your family. Ask questions you may have about the test and what the results will mean for you.
What Will Counseling and Tests Tell Me?
Keep in mind that genetic tests done before you conceive often can tell you only the odds of having a child with a certain birth defect.For instance, you may learn that you have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with a certain disease or defect.
If you decide to conceive (get pregnant), you will need more tests to see if your baby will have the defect or not.
For those who may be at risk, test results can help answer such questions as:
- Are the chances of having a baby with a genetic defect so high that we should look at other ways to start a family?
- If you have a baby with a genetic disorder, can treatments or surgeries help the baby's problems?
- How do we prepare ourselves for the chance we might have a child with a genetic problem? Are there classes or support groups for the disorder? Are there doctors nearby who treat children with the disorder?
- Should we continue the pregnancy? Are the baby's problems so severe that we might choose to abort the baby (end the pregnancy)?
What Will Happen?
You can prepare by finding out if any medical problems run in your family, such as:
- Child development problems
- Miscarriages
- Stillbirth
- Severe childhood illnesses
Steps in genetic counseling include:
- You will fill out an in-depth family history form, and talk to the counselor about health problems that run in your family.
- You and your partner may also get blood tests, or karyotyping (tests of your chromosomes).
- Your family history and test results will help the counselor look at genetic defects you may pass on to your children.
If you choose to be tested after you become pregnant, tests that may be done on the fetus (unborn baby) include:
- Amniocentesis, in which fluid is withdrawn from the amniotic sac (fluid that surrounds the baby)
- Chorionic villus sampling, which takes a sample of the cells from the placenta
- Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS), which tests blood from the umbilical cord (the cord that connects the mother to the baby)
These tests have some risks. They may cause infection, harm the fetus, or cause a miscarriage. If you are worried about these risks, talk to your doctor.
What If I Carry a Genetic Disorder?
The point of genetic counseling is simply to help parents make informed decisions. A good genetic counselor will help you figure out how to use the information you get from your tests. If you are at risk or you find out that you will have a baby with a disorder, your counselor and doctor will talk to you about options and resources. But the decisions are yours to make.

SWAT Team responds to Wickliffe shooting
(Lake County) - A dispute over clothing may have caused one brother to shoot another on East 290th Street in Wickliffe.
Officers from several departments and the SWAT Team responded after calls about multiple gunshots being fired around noon, at East 290th Street near Euclid Avenue.
Police first found the victim who had been grazed in the head by a bullet. He was able to walk to an ambulance under his own power, but left a small trail of blood.
The victim was rushed to the hospital. Police sealed off the area and warned residents to stay inside their homes.
Later they arrested a suspect who had been hiding inside a house. After being talked into coming outside, the suspect was forced onto the ground, cuffed and taken away.
A neighbor tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that the victim was shot by his brother because he wore an item of clothing he wasn't supposed to.

BREVARD, N.C.-The Brevard College Tornados fell in straight sets to the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne in South Atlantic Conference action on Tuesday night in Boshamer Gymnasium.
The Bears took the match by scores of 25-17, 25-21, and 25-20 to improve to 8-4 (5-3 SAC), while BC drops to 4-9 (1-8 SAC).
Lenoir-Rhyne jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the opening set, later cushioning their lead with a 5-0 run to make it 14-7. BC played the Bears evenly for the remainder of the set but were unable to pick up much ground, falling 25-17.
The Bears erased a 6-3 BC lead to open the set with a 6-1 run to go in front 9-7. Following three ties BC used a 4-1 run to regain the lead at 15-13.
The Bears responded with four straight points and never relinquished the lead on their way to a 25-21 set win.
BC staged a comeback in the third set, recovering from a 12-2 deficit with eight unanswered points to pull within a point at 17-16.
After a Megan Meyer service ace again brought BC within a point at 19-18, the Bears smothered the rally with a 6-2 run to close out the match win.
Brevard continues their three-game home stand on Friday night as they host the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters in Boshamer Gymnasium at 7 p.m.

try "greyspace's" (with quotes)
and you don't have to set an essid anyways, bssid is enough for this situation.
And for sniffers protection, assuming you use wireless, the only way is encryption.
a wpa passphrase with 20 characters that dont make sense is almost impossible to crack.
you can use something smart, for example 1234567890abcd"your small-length-password here"
so you dont have to remember a 20 chars password.

The Spanish national team have won three major tournaments back to back, and a large amount of the credit is owed to it's top domestic league, the Spanish La Liga. Two of the world's best teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are regular La Liga title contenders. Barcelona are also the proud owner of one of (arguably) the world's best ever teams, as they dominated on several trophy fronts for many seasons. La Liga also has superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who are both regarded as the top two players in world football today. For these reasons many would argue that the best league in the world is indeed the Spanish La Liga. Which jersey will you buy, Real or Barca?

Brevard, N.C.- Brevard College Athletic Director Juan Mascaro is pleased to announce the appointment of Frank Rogers as the first-ever head women's lacrosse coach at Brevard College.
Rogers comes to Brevard from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has served as the women's lacrosse head coach since 2009. Rogers started the women's lacrosse program at Aquinas, and led the Saints to a 20-2 record in their inaugural season in 2010.
"We are thrilled to have someone with Frank's winning tradition and experience founding a college lacrosse program to help establish women's lacrosse at Brevard College," said Mascaro.
Rogers was responsible for recruiting, prospecting, scheduling, practice planning, and daily operation of the women's lacrosse program at Aquinas. Rogers also served as the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Women's Lacrosse Chair during his tenure with the Saints.
Prior to his time at Aquinas, Rogers served as the head women's lacrosse coach for Western Michigan University's club team following a three-year stint as the head men's lacrosse coach at Kalamazoo Central High School.
An eight-time speaker at the US Lacrosse National Coaches Convention, Rogers also currently serves as a National Women's Lacrosse League Coaches Committee Member.
Rogers graduated from Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, New York in 1984 with a degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management and a minor in Hospitality and Tourism.
Brevard College's first lacrosse season is slated for the spring of 2014. Women's lacrosse is one of four new South Atlantic Conference sports on the league's 2013-14 schedule.

Hawaiian Punch
Forget the punch. How about a nice Hawaiian? On my recent vacation on Kauai, I tested my endurance kayaking upstream (with a paddle), hiking 8 miles round-trip to a secluded waterfall, running 6 miles in the sand with the waves crashing at my toes. I also learned a thing or two. I learned how to surf, and I learned that the ratio of men to women on the island is 10 to 1. That's right. It's a veritable sausage fest. Yet, the local women I have met are as frustrated as those on the mainland with the dating scene. They say the men there are boys...great to look at with their surfer bodies, but lacking in intellect and more concerned about how the waves are breaking than how to please a woman or make ends meet financially.
One waiter I talked to at Roy Yamaguchi's The Tavern was quite the opposite. At 27, he holds down two jobs so that his fiancée of 5 year can pursue her artistic endeavors, acrylics of seascapes, which she refused to sell through a prominent Beverly Hills gallery for $15,000 ($13,500 more than her artwork usually commands), because she didn't like the other artists they represent. He covers the $1875/mo rent plus the $500 electric bill (Kauai has a monopoly on electricity so think solar if you plan on buying a second home on the islands).

When the deep meaning of things is not understoodthe mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
The way is perfect, like vast spacewhen nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject that we do not see the true nature of things.Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,nor in inner feelings of emptiness.Be serene without striving for activity in the oneness of thingsand such erroneous views will disappear by themselves.When you try to stop activity to achieve passivityyour very effort fills you with activity. As long as you remain in one extreme or the otheryou will never know oneness.Those who do not live in the single wayfail in both activity and passivity,assertion and denial.
A few things before we enter this sutra of Sosan. In the West, just a few years back, there was a French hypnotist, Emile Coué; he happened to rediscover one of the basic laws of the human mind. He called it "the law of reverse effect" - that is one of the oldest sutras in Taoist and Zen thinking. Sosan is talking about this law. Try to understand this law, then his sayings will be simple to understand.
For example, if you don't feel sleepy what will you do? You will try to get to sleep - you will make efforts, you will do this and that, but whatsoever you do will bring just the reverse; just that which you need will not come. Just the opposite will happen because any activity, any effort, is against sleep.
Sleep is a relaxation. You cannot bring it, you cannot do anything for it to happen. You cannot force it, you cannot will it - it is not a part of your will at all. It is moving into the unconscious, and your will is just a fragment of the conscious.
When you move into the unconscious, towards the depth, that fragment which is consciousness, that fragment which is will, is left on the surface. You cannot take your surface to the depth, you cannot take your circumference to the center. So when you make efforts to go to sleep, it is a self-destructive thing. You are doing something which will become just the opposite - you will become more awake. The only way to enter into sleep is not to do anything. If it is not coming, it is not coming. Wait, don't do anything! Otherwise you will push it further away and a distance will be created. Just wait on the pillow, put off the light, close your eyes, relax and wait. Whenever it comes, it comes. You cannot bring it by any act of your will - will is against the unconscious.
And this happens in many things in life: just the opposite comes out of it. If you want to be silent, what will you do? - because silence is just like sleep, you cannot force it. You can allow it to happen, it is a let-go, but there is no way to work it out. What will you do if you want to be silent? If you do anything you will be less silent than ever.

There's nothing quite like skiing down from a mountainous environment of snow, ice, rock and sky into an alpine village and being greeted by window boxes filled with hardy spring flowers: daffodils, primula, hyacinth and pansies. In Vermont no one would think of putting flower boxes outside while there is still snow on the ground or a chance of freezing at night. There is something so cheerful and hopeful about this alpine tradition. I think I'll adopt it myself next spring!

THE FUTURE of one of Thornbury's free car parks looks uncertain after its sudden closure this week.
Signs were erected at the entrance to Castle Court car park on Thursday night informing the public that the car park was closed.
The unexpected closure of the short stay car park overnight left many locals confused about what would become of the site.
Natwest bank confirmed to the Gazette that the site had been sold to a residential developer but declined to comment any further.
South Gloucestershire Council has not received any planning applications for the site.
The council had rented the land, off the High Street, from NatWest bank for over 40 years, creating 78 free short stay spaces for shoppers, a third of the town's short stay parking provision.
The local authority confirmed that they did not renew the lease on the 0.67 acre site, which expired at midnight on Friday.
A council spokesperson said: "On October 25 2013 the NatWest Bank served formal notice to terminate our current agreement regarding the Castle Court short stay car park. This termination took effect on 31 January 2014.
"To ensure disruption to car park users is kept to a minimum, we have created a new entrance to the long stay car park at Castle Court and will be reallocating parking spaces to include short stay provision. Once the recent wet weather recedes, we will be carrying out work to mark these short stay bays and add new signage."
South Gloucestershire Councillor Maggie Tyrrell told the Gazette the council opted not to renew the lease because of the cost rose significantly leaving the council no alternative but to drop the lease.
She said the council tried to come to a reasonable agreement with NatWest but the bank was determined to take back the land.
Cllr Tyrrell said: "We were aware that this could happen. We have had quite a long battle with NatWest trying to keep it open but they were asking for lots of money for the car park, a minimum of half a million.
"There was nothing we could do about it unless we were prepared to take out loans and even then we didn't think we would get any funding because suitability for a loan is assessed in terms of value for money and because it's a free car park they wouldn't be willing to invest."
A NatWest spokesperson said: "I can confirm that NatWest have sold the car park to a residential developer, but unfortunately I'm not able to disclose the details due to commercial confidentiality.
Business owners in the town said the closure could affect trade.
Sandra Davies, owner of The Swan pub on High Street said was a shame to lose Castle Court car park because it was is the only major car park in the town itself. She said it was convenient because there were no major roads to cross to get into the town centre.
Mike Nichols, 23, works as a personal trainer in Thornbury. He said he used the car park when he met clients in the town.
He said: "The Castle Court car park is close to everywhere –especially if the weather is bad.
"If it is closed permanently, it will be an inconvenience to me and many others."
Craig Wiltshire, 33, works as an estate agent in Thornbury.
He said: "I think one of the main attractions of the town is the availability of free parking."
Vice-chairman of Town Development for Thornbury Town Council Clive Parkinson said: "I regret the loss of the parking spaces and will look to South Gloucestershire in their parking review of the town that so that it doesn't affect the financial viability of the High Street."
South Gloucestershire is unusual among local authorities in not charging motorists to use council-owned car parks, other than its Park and Ride facilities. The council continues to provide free short stay car parking at Rock Street and St Mary Street car parks in Thornbury.

Claws' Gonzalez excels in starting turn
Phillies righty prospect tosses six perfect frames in two-hitter
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com | July 2, 2013 6:52 PM ET
Severino Gonzalez was turning in a strong season at Class A Advanced Clearwater out of the bullpen when the Phillies decided it was time to give him a go as a starter.
Now getting stretched out with Class A Lakewood, he's showing he might be even better suited in that role.
The 20-year-old tossed six perfect innings, striking out nine, as the BlueClaws two-hit Delmarva Shorebirds in a 1-0 shutout.
It was just the second start with Lakewood for Gonzalez (1-0), and he has yet to allow a run or issue a walk. In 10 innings, he's struck out 15 while yielding just two hits.
"He just moved his fastball inside and out, stayed down in the zone and worked both halves of the plate," said BlueClaws pitching coach Aaron Fultz. "Very aggressive, threw some curves for strikes early in counts, kept them off balance and just did a heck of a job."
The Panama native began his year in the Florida State League, where he excelled in the Threshers bullpen. In 27 1/3 innings, he registered a 1.65 ERA and struck out 33 while walking three.
It's not the first time Gonzalez has bounced between the 'pen and the rotation. In 2011, for Philly's Venezuelan Summer League team, he made 17 appearances in relief, earning one save and notching a 2.11 ERA in 42 2/3 frames.
The next season, again in the VSL, he went 7-3 with a 1.65 ERA in 14 starts, striking out 86 and walking just six in 92 2/3 innings. Fultz said he thought Gonzalez had the stuff to make a strong starting pitcher.
"The thing I like most is his confidence. Stuff-wise, it's good but it's not overpowering, but he has confidence in each pitch that he throws," he said. "He uses his fastball early and often. He has a curve that he can throw harder or slower, in the zone or out, which is impressive for his age. We're working on a change-up with him and a cutter that's doing pretty well right now.
"I don't know if he realized it or not, but in the fourth inning, he had a 3-0 count, got it to 3-2 and threw him a curveball with a perfect game going. He's got that kind of confidence."
Between the two levels, Gonzalez sports a 1.21 ERA with 48 strikeouts and only three walks in 37 1/3 innings. Fultz pointed to that exceptional command as one of the reasons he's optimistic about the right-hander.
"Obviously he's a strike thrower, still young but his upside is huge with the command he's shown. Coming out of nowhere to go there [to Clearwater] and come here and do as well as he has is impressive," he noted.
Fultz added that Gonzalez throws generally between 88-93 mph, sitting mostly around 90. As he stretches out, he'll be confined generally to a 60-pitch limit.
"After four innings, he only had about 45 pitches today. I was hoping for five and got six, so that was a very pleasant surprise," he said.
Designated hitter Willie Carmona's third-inning solo shot was the game's only run.

Sheriff's finding about Obama birth certificate draws yawns
PHOENIX – When Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio scheduled a news conference Tuesday to discuss the finding of his "birther" investigation just two days before a civil-rights case against his agency gets underway, it drew a knowing sigh from longtime observers.
The event was not the first instance in which a well-timed Arpaio news conference has coincided with potentially negative news involving his office.
Arpaio's supporters say the timing of Tuesday's event, revealing results from the sheriff's volunteer investigation into the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate, was purely coincidental.
Whether or not it was a coincidence, the substance of his message Tuesday — that Hawaiian officials' stonewalling about inconsistencies in Obama's birth certificate must mean it is forged — will be at least somewhat obscured by the federal civil-rights trial beginning Thursday.
In that case, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow will determine whether Arpaio's agency has engaged in racial profiling.
"Sometimes, in such high-profile cases, you might want such publicity to influence potential jury pools, but that has no application for the upcoming trial because it's a bench trial and this is a no-nonsense judge," said David Don, a Phoenix civil rights attorney.
Tuesday was the second time in recent months that the sheriff has shared with the media what he considered positive news in advance of anticipated negative publicity.
In May, the federal government was preparing to file a separate civil-rights lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office that claimed the agency engaged in discriminatory policing and disregarded the needs of Latino citizens. Arpaio held a news conference the day before the lawsuit was filed at which he unveiled a plan to restore integrity and accountability to his agency.
Chad Willems, Arpaio's campaign manager, dismissed suggestions that Arpaio's news conferences were part of a strategy to deflect attention from other matters. He noted that it would be difficult for sheriff's officials to coordinate timing for a Justice Department lawsuit.
"We don't know when bad stories are going to come out. I think it's paranoia on the part of our detractors," Willems said.
If the revelations related to Obama's birth certificate were intended to deflect the spotlight from the upcoming civil-rights trial, it will likely be the last time Arpaio can employ that tactic: He revealed at the end of Tuesday's news conference that a governmental body with more authority, like Congress, would have to take up the investigation into the authenticity of the president's birth certificate.
"It's time for someone else to look into this situation," Arpaio said.
The information revealed by Arpaio and his team on Tuesday did little to resolve questions about Obama's birthplace that linger in the minds of the sheriff's supporters. Instead, the sheriff's lead volunteer investigator, Mike Zullo, took nearly an hour to lay out his case after he and a spokeswoman for
Arpaio admonished the media for ignoring information Zullo presented in March.
While Arpaio's investigators were in Hawaii for 10 days, they located a former local registrar who might have written coding on the copy of Obama's birth certificate posted on the White House website. The woman is now 95 years old.
After the team's return from Hawaii, a national leader in the so-called birther movement who has worked with the sheriff's volunteer investigators placed a call to the woman, pretending to be a news reporter. The woman, who Zullo referred to as "amazingly sharp," told the fake reporter that the numbers on Obama's birth certificate were inconsistent with the time and place of his birth.
Her information, other inconsistencies investigators said they discovered in documents posted on the White House website and the refusal of Hawaii officials to let Arpaio's investigators inspect the original birth certificate led the team to conclude the document is a fraud.

If your new year's resolutions call for giving your home a welcoming new appearance and greater curb appeal, look no farther than decorating your front door to add punch and pizazz. A mini-makeover may require nothing more than a can of paint, or if you're looking for a more dramatic boost, consider replacing your existing door with a new design that suits your personality and the architectural style of your home.
What does the color of your door say about you? Is it warm and inviting? Dramatic and bold? Or understated and elegant? Masonite has so many choices of stain and color finishes available for its doors. But if you have a very special color in mind for your entry door, such as the Pantone color of the year, Masonite wood doors are easy to paint; just follow the instructions. And, Masonite fiberglass and steel doors also can be stained or painted for a custom appearance.
With Mad Men mania and the midcentury modern movement sweeping the nation, Gay Pennell Payne, owner of DIY Decorating Plan, says she is seeing a proliferation of colors like teal, aqua and apple green. "You definitely can stand out in a neighborhood if you add color tastefully, like a pretty robin's egg blue," she says. "You can put your house number on the door as opposed to just on your mailbox, and buy retro door knobs with star and triangle back plates. It's a simple addition that makes a huge difference. I've been told that the No. 1 style that attracts buyers when selling a house right now is midcentury modern. The second is craftsman, and the third is traditional, so midcentury updates are a smart move."
The easiest way to make your door look great year-round, and in every season, is to find a design you truly love. Payne is a particular fan of the Masonite Belleville Smooth BLS- Full Lite, but the options for homeowners are abundant. We're especially smitten with the latest styles on the market, which include the Belleville® Fiberglass 2-Panel Door Collection and the Barrington® Sierra Fiberglass 1-Panel Plank Camber Top Door. The Belleville door combines great architecture with a high-definition panel profile, while the Barrington Sierra fiberglass door is designed to complement Southwest-, Spanish- or Mediterranean-style homes and has a beautiful mahogany texture.
On-trend Masonite doors lay the foundation for beautiful decorations that can shift with the seasons. Once you own a Masonite entry door you adore, décor becomes the jewelry that makes you love it even more.

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo Inc. announced several executive changes, including a new head for its U.S. beverages unit, in a bid to revive sales, which have lagged behind Coca-Cola Co in North America.
Albert Carey, 60, who most recently led Frito-Lay North America, will become chief executive of PepsiCo Americas Beverages, effective immediately.
Carey, a 30-year company veteran, succeeds Eric Foss and Massimo d'Amore, who co-ran the Americas beverage business. He has served as Frito-Lay chief executive since 2006. Previously, he was president of PepsiCo Sales, where he led sales for the company's retail, foodservice and fountain businesses.
Foss, former chief executive of Pepsi Bottling Group, which PepsiCo acquired last year, will leave PepsiCo in December. The beverage and snack giant appointed Foss to oversee the integration of PBG and Pepsi Americas, its two largest North American bottling operations, into PepsiCo. His eventual departure was expected following the integration.
D'Amore, 56, who headed marketing for PepsiCo's America's Beverage unit, will retain responsibility for the North American Gatorade, Tropicana and Latin American beverage businesses, but will no longer be responsible for carbonated drinks in the U.S. He will also continue to lead the company's "global beverages group," which focuses on long-term innovation.
Succeeding Carey is Tom Greco, 53, who will assume the role of president of Frito-Lay North America. He most recently served as executive vice-president and chief commercial officer for Pepsi Beverages Co. He has also held a variety of senior positions within Frito-Lay, including president of Frito-Lay Canada.
The executive shuffle comes as flagship Pepsi-Cola slipped to No. 3 in U.S. volume behind Diet Coke and longtime leader Coke last year for the first time. In its latest quarter, Pepsi's beverage sales volume declined by 1% from a year ago in North America. | SEE STORY
The company has been aggressively pushing to regain its market share by investing in new advertising campaigns, and in June it announced a shakeup of its marketing team.

Spanish Train Driver Charged With Homicide
(NEWSER) – As Sunday church services were held throughout Spain in memory of the country's worst train crash in decades, the driver involved was formally charged with homicide. Francisco Jose Garzon Amo—who had previously boasted about speeding—is accused of 79 counts of homicide committed through "professional recklessness," Reuters reports. The 52-year-old was released without bail and ordered to turn in his passport. His train driving license has also been revoked.

Nelson Cruz took home the hat trick for Cibao on Friday, striking out three times in four hitless at-bats.
Despite the rough outing, the 32-year-old Cruz has performed well in 10 winterball contests. He's 11-for-38 (.289) with a double, a home run, six walks, and seven strikeouts.
Licey's Engel Beltre (.250/.329/.398) was 0-for-3 with a strikeout. After getting out to a fantastic start and even leading the Dominican Winter League in batting average at one point, Beltre has cooled of late. He's just 5-for-34 (.147) over his last 10 contests.
Despite the slump, Beltre currently tops the circuit with seven triples.
Playing in front of more than 15,000 fans on Friday, Magallanes shortstop Elvis Andrus went 1-for-3 with a hit-by pitch. He was also caught stealing for the third time in six attempts.
Through 14 contests, Andrus is 12-for-55 (.218) at the plate with three doubles and a home run. He's drawn six walks and struck out nine times.
Aragua third baseman Yangervis Solarte (.286/.353/.396) was 1-for-3 with a double, his team's only extra-base hit of the game. The two-bagger was his 11th of the season.
Lara's Guilder Rodriguez scored a run after appearing as a ninth-inning pinch-runner. He didn't have a plate appearance.
The Liga Paralela season concluded on Friday with Magallanes finishing off Tampa Bay in the best-of-three championship series.
Jose Felix (.297/.321/.405) got the start at catcher for Guasave and was hitless in four at-bats.
The Rangers-laden Leones de Ponce club currently sits at the bottom of the Puerto Rican Winter League with a 12-21 record. Ponce did earn a 2-1 victory over Caguas on Friday.
Leones catcher Zach Zaneski (.194/.265/.226 in 12 games) got the start behind the plate and singled once in four at-bats. The Rhode Island product was particularly impressive defensively, gunning down all three of Caguas' attempted base stealers.
Sidearming lefty specialist Alexander Claudio (5.19 ERA/.319 BAA) struck out the only batter he faced, earning his fourth hold of the campaign.
Brisbane's Hirotoshi Onaka singled once in four official at-bats, striking out once. The Japan native now has a .266/.389/.329 slash line in 21 games. He's drawn 16 walks and struck out 25 times during the campaign.

Listen up! 'Cause in case you haven't heard . . . The movie POX
Written and directed by the wildly talented, wicked creative, and impressively prolific Lisa Stockton-Wilson — perhaps better known to the masses as singer / song-writer / musician / thespian / all-around Uh-Huh, Don't-You-Wish-You-Were-Her phenomenonicon Miss Lisa Hammer —
can be obtained for the "I Mean ; I Can't Even" section of your DVD collection.
However, for those of you more on the instant gratification tip? The film is also available for streaming, by way of the almighty TLA Video.
This already-cult classic [ as in, like: Seriously, Mary . . . Where Have You Been? ] stars the inimitable Alizarinkryz as none other than POX himself.
In addition to our fearless cult leader, a slew of other luminaries appear in this cinematic delight — including :
Who? The dude from Gregg Araki's ever-incandescent, Thrill Kill Kult samplin', endless-source-of-one-liners The Doom Generation? As in : That movie with Rose McGowan so white hot in her role as Amy Blue that you either wanted to be her or be with her or what-the-fuck-ever / I-can't-even-relate-to-you, and Parker Posey's best cameo appearance probably, oh, ever, and of course Margaret Cho also shows because we've known she's way fucking cool since long before your newbie ass was schooled how obnoxious it is for one to refer to himself by the majestic plural "we"? And uh-huh, dark-sider with so much erudite goth damage I bet even your toilet paper and tissue is pitch-hued : even and especially I'm looking at you when I reference how cEvin Key from Skinny Puppy fractured his knee during filming?
Yes. Yes, that James Duval.
And nope, the omission of Frank the Rabbit and Donnie Darko from my truncated ramble was neither oversight nor indication aforementioned title is not also chamber-tombed to my heart [for it is! It is : and how] but rather a reminder that fucking OATH, my beloved Bloggination! There's a topic of much greater import to which I'm attempting to tend!
So, um. That being said? The film also features . . .
Kimberly Dzwonkowski, a.k.a. Kim Helms, whose performance is so effing g-damn genius; it's full-on intracranial hemorrhage territory.
Levi Wilson, as the suicide punch meister of your masturbatory fantasies,
Sue Fletcher, as the
neurotic loyal devoteé who deems herself "Mrs. POX." [ And rightly so! ]
Do not, however, mistake her — or rather : her character, totes and obvs — for a groupie. If the subtitled still frame hovering above this cluster of text doesn't clarify the distinction, then honey : I don't know what to tell you . . . [ A simple suggestion, perhaps? Two words : Life Alert. Pleazh is all mine, Bee Tee Doubs ]
Incidentally, well aware I'm giving Generous in the screen cap department, though rest assured that it's been anything but mad cazh or madly random. Au contraire, the act is one of scrupulous selection — of painstaking deliberation — by which I attempt to illustrate the gravitas of the sitch, bitch. Said another way? This film tackles some serious territory. That's "serious" with implied italics. You feelin' me?
And the atmosphere? Oh, how it delivers. Yes!

Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Chazan 1994.085
Howard Ben Tré has earned international prominence for his glass sculptures, which are known for their large scale and classical forms. Working from styrofoam models, Ben Tré casts his works at an industrial foundry and finishes them in his Rhode Island studio. As with Mantled Figure, they often combine the mass and solidity of ancient stone monuments with the sleek forms of modernist sculpture, while the translucency of the glass illuminates them from within. Mantled Figure's form evokes a torso and transmits a diffuse green light.

Union boss Paul Howes is sick of opinion polls and regrets being poll-driven at the time Kevin Rudd was dumped as Labor leader.
Federal Labor's primary vote stands at just 30 per cent, down five points since December, according to the latest Herald/Nielsen poll published in Fairfax newspapers.
Support for the coalition is up four points, taking its primary vote to 47 per cent - its highest level since just after the carbon tax began in July 2012.
On a two-party-preferred basis, Labor's support is at 45 per cent, well behind the 55 per cent for the coalition, according to voter feedback on the direction of second preferences.
It doesn't appear to faze Mr Howes, the national secretary of the Australian Workers' Union (AWU).
"I am not worried about constant polls that change from week to week," he told ABC television on Monday.
He was reminded he didn't appear so sanguine about such samples of public opinion when he was one of the so-called "faceless" men who dumped Kevin Rudd as leader in 2010 after a series of bad polls.
"Absolutely. You just heard me eat humble pie," Mr Howes said.
"I regret that I was one of the people that used to engage in this constant useless chatter on various opinion and chat shows around the country.
"I am sick of it, I am not doing it any more."
ACTU secretary Dave Oliver wouldn't be drawn on leadership speculation.
"When we're out and about in workplaces around the country, we don't have workers talking to us about who's dining with who or the leadership speculation," he told ABC radio.
"We know that the Gillard government has been doing a good job out there and hopefully will continue to do so."

Lake Paul maple syrup company appears on Dragons' Den
BERWICK - Local syrup producers are in the midst of their first taste of fame.
1688 Association wants industry to halt for better prices
The frustration was evident on Wednesday afternoon in Barrington as a group of area fishermen listened to James Mood's solution for low lobster prices, which have sunk to $3 a pound this fall because record catches have led to a glut.
The 1688 Fishermen's Association president repeated his simple solution, one that he's also offered at wharves in Yarmouth, several times,
"Stop fishing," he said. "If you fellas continue to go …you'll catch 80 per cent of your lobsters by January 1. And if you don't do anything about it you've lost this year …you've lost it."
Mood offered a bleak scenario for the industry if fishermen do not stop fishing until prices rise.
"20 percent of license holders will have to get out of this," he offered. "Where are those licenses going to go …you know exactly where they're going to go …the corporate world."
Although some in the crowd complained about the profits being made by lobster buyers while fishermen were fighting with higher prices for fuel and bait, Mood blamed, in part, the competitive nature of fishermen for the situation.
"You fellows have done this to yourself ...there's only one way to stop it ...shut the fishery down. Shut it down," he emphasized.
During Mood's presentation local lobster buyer Chris Malone told the group of about 50 fishermen and community members that there were too many lobsters being landed and that fishermen needed to find a way to slow catches down until demand could take up some of the current glut.
He said lobster dealers were also having a difficult time because of the market glut.
" Their (the buyers') job is to buy lobsters as cheap as they can," said Malone. "I'm buying lobsters from dealers …I was up all last night buying two loads out of Lockeport for $2.75 that I'm sure that they paid more than $2.75 for…they're not taking these lobster and making a whole bunch of money …they're in a mess too."
Malone said he didn't know if a shutdown of the industry was the right solution, but he offered that something needed to be done.
"If you don't have some way to control the amount of lobsters that come in in this glut ..and that is the key thing that's caused this problem I don't know," he said. "As far as the dealers go …they're not going to save you. And, I can't believe there's so few people taking an interest in it …it's the lifeblood of the whole community."
Mood agreed.
You fellas are destroying this industry and your communities with it," he said.
