OREGON, Ill., Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Woods Equipment Company, a division of Blount International, Inc., (NYSE: BLT) and a leading full-line manufacturer of high-quality attachments and implements, announced today a supplier partnership with Cabela's Incorporated, the World's Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. Through the new partnership, Woods will supply implements to complement Cabela's new "Wildlife and Land Management (WLM)" product category. In the initial phase, Cabela's and Woods are conducting a test market at the Cabela's store in Sidney, Nebraska. Later in 2013, the test will roll out in additional markets, including Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Texas.
"Both companies carry a reputation for innovation, quality, value and service," said Jerry Johnson, President Woods Equipment Company. "In exploring a new product category, Cabela's wanted to ensure that the attachment offering was consistent with their brand image and the products would meet their end-customers' expectations. Cabela's contacted Woods as their first choice in attachment suppliers and at that time, we were preparing to launch our new precision seeder and other land management attachments into the hunting and conservation market. The alignment with Cabela's became a natural fit."
Partnering with Cabela's marks Woods' entry into the retail distribution channel. "The Cabela's team is focused on quality and service and has a strong desire to help their core customer base manage their land with products and services well-beyond attachments," said Johnson. "We feel their market strategy complements our existing distribution channels and will increase brand value and awareness to the benefit of our dealer network."

San Diego mayor ignores calls to resign, plans 2 weeks of 'therapy' instead
(San Diego, CA) -- San Diego Mayor Bob Filner is going into behavioral counseling. Filner has faced multiple calls to resign due to several women coming forward to say the mayor acted in an inappropriate manner. One of them claims he whispered in her ear, quote, "do you have a man in your life?" Another said Filner repeatedly used sexual innuendo, and another claims he patted her on the behind during an event in 2005. After the initial allegations, Filner said he's a "hugger."

Why travel by coach?
Because, to borrow a phrase, a coach refreshes the parts of the UK that other modes of transport cannot reach.
Our coach breaks win hands down on flexibility. They offer the most destinations and enable tours and excursions involving multiple sites, remote pickup points, irregular hours, hotel transfers to and from events and custom-made itineraries.
We understand that the journey is an important part of the experience, and that's why we like to stop for rest breaks at places of genuine historical, architectural or cultural interest, rather than a bland and nondescript service station. It's a decent stopover, not a ten minute toilet break, so you get a proper chance to grab a bite to eat and go exploring.
It's fun too, and sociable, and here we must give special mention to our dedicated team of drivers. These knights of the road are consistently praised by our customers for adding humour, kindness and sparkle to the journeys, along with often expert knowledge of the routes and landmarks too.

Lawyer of As I Lay Dying singer accuses police of setting up murder charges
Listen to As I Lay Dying on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - It's hard to imagine that As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis could be up on charges for allegedly hiring someone to kill his estranged wife, Meggan. Yet the evidence against Lambesis seems pretty damning, which is why the singer is being held on $3 million bail at a detention center in Vista, California.
But remember, Lambesis is innocent until proven guilty, and his attorney insists proving the singer guilt is going to present a great challenge for the prosecution because his client likely was set up.
Lambesis was arrested on May 7 at 2 p.m. in front of a Barnes & Noble in Oceanside, California, and he was charged with trying to hire an undercover agent to assassinate Meggan. On May 9, Lambesis pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Allegedly, Lambesis wanted to hire someone to kill his estranged wife because she would not let his see his children and was making an agreed-upon divorce "impossible."
At his arraignment on Thursday, Lambesis was ordered to wear a GPS monitor and turn in his passport to reduce the chance that he will flee. Also, a judge warned him that if he makes bail, he must stay away from his family. If convicted, Lambesis faces up to nine years in state prison.
His attorney, Anthony Salerno, says Lambesis originally faced the possibility of a life sentence. Initially, prosecutors asked Superior Court Judge Martin Stavan to set Lambesis's bail at $20 million, because they insisted the singer still remains "substantially motivated to kill his wife."

Mechanical Confections
For the past three decades I've created "Mechanical Confections", one of a kind automata and kinetic sculpture incorporating found objects, metal and electro-mechanical components. My work has been featured in The Sunday New York Times, Metropolis Magazine, LA. Style and The Boston Globe and exhibited Internationally.
If you're interested in purchasing work, a list of available pieces can be found here. Feel to contact me regarding pricing.
My first animated film was produced when I was 12 using a Bell and Howell 8mm camera and drawing on recycled computer paper. Since then I've been passionate about creating animation and have progressed through a variety of narrative and experimental forms. In my most recent work I draw and paint images directly on film stock, a technique, known as Direct Animation. These experimental films explore relationships between surface , representation and rhythm.

'How I Learned to Drive'
By: Frenche` Brewer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3691
The University of South Carolina's Lab Theatre opens the season Thursday, Feb. 7, with the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama "How I Learned to Drive."
The play runs Feb. 7-10.
Written by Paula Vogel and directed by USC alumnus Eric Bultman, "How I Learned to Drive" is the story of a woman who learns the rules of the road and life from behind the wheel. Vogel's drama traces the coming-of-age of the main character, Li'l Bit, whose life is forever changed by the sexual relationship she develops with her uncle.
The play takes a sensitive look at the main character's experience of being sexually abused by her Uncle Peck while he teaches her how to drive. The abuse begins when she is 11 years old and continues until she leaves for college. The story is told in such a way that Peck never comes across as a monster. He's cast as the only member of the family who cares for Li'l Bit, but that affection manifests itself in the form of abuse.
Bultman, the executive director of the Sumter Little Theatre, says "Vogel's writing approaches difficult topics with a deft delicateness. This is a powerful play, but it is extremely delicate. It is filled with humor, which is quite difficult when dealing with a subject like sexual abuse."
Freshman theatre major Grace Ann Roberts is cast in the role of L'il Bit. Don Russell, a master of fine arts candidate will take on the role of Uncle Peck. Rounding out the small cast is a "Greek chorus" commenting on the action. The chorus members are played by senior theatre major Chandler Walpole, freshman theatre major Jamie Boller and sophomore media arts major Grace Fennell. Sophomore business and marketing major Katie Cole is stage manager for the production.
"With this play, these young actors are required to go places psychologically that they've never been before and it's not easy," Bultman says. "I understand that and respect them so much for taking the journey with me."
Show times for the production each night are at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Lab Theatre, the university's "black box" performance space, is located in the Booker T. Washington building at 1400 Wheat St., across from Blatt PE Center.
"How I Learned to Drive"contains adult themes which may not be suitable for children.

The eurozone is reluctant to admit formally that it is changing its austerity strategy, but in fact it is searching in every corner of national budgets to alleviate the squeeze on its troubled economies, and rightly so.
Recently, member states which have missed their budget targets (and that has been most of them) have been given more time to reach their objectives, implying less fiscal tightening in the near term. It is not all plain sailing, as Portugal's latest tribulations demonstrate, but the eurozone has recognised that it should not be piling even more short term fiscal contraction on declining economies. It is reported today that the troika will suggest that the average duration of official loans to Ireland and Portugal should be extended by seven years at a meeting of EU finance ministers on April 12-13.

State of Emergency declared for winter storm
A State of Emergency has been declared for the Capital Region by the NYS Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services. Here's their statement:

Edit: Guess I should have refreshed first! Like others have stated before me.
I've never preordered on AT&T, as I jumped directly on last year for the i4. When you preorder, do they require payment up front, or when you pick it up at the sto'?
Regardless, I'm looking forward to the iP4S and I hope you like it as much as I will!
I'm currently eligible for two upgrades. Does this mean I can only buy one iPhone at launch??? If so, this blows.

Former September 11 probe chair calls for reopening inquiry
"Why did the U.S. government go to such lengths to cover up the Saudi involvement?" Graham said.
– Ed.
September 12, 2011
The former co-chair of a Congressional inquiry after the September 11, 2001 attacks called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation following a news report linking the hijackers to a Saudi Arabian couple who lived in Florida.
Former U.S. Senator Bob Graham said he has no reason to doubt the news report, which said the Saudi Arabian couple abruptly abandoned their luxury home in Sarasota two weeks before the attacks, leaving behind a full refrigerator, clothes, furnishings and a new car in the driveway.
The report was published by BrowardBulldog.org., a nonprofit Internet news site and was simultaneously published on the news website of the Miami Herald.
If true, it reveals another Saudi terrorism connection that was never disclosed by the FBI to the public or to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks, said Graham, who was co-chair of the committee.
The FBI office in Tampa issued a statement on Monday saying the Sarasota case was one of many leads that "were resolved and determined not to be related to any threat nor connected to the 9/11 plot."
Graham called the Sarasota case "eerily similar" to the FBI's failure to tell the intelligence committee about a former Saudi civil servant, Omar al-Bayoumi, who supported two hijackers while they were living in San Diego. Graham said an investigator for his committee independently unearthed the information about al-Bayoumi.
"Why did the U.S. government go to such lengths to cover up the Saudi involvement?" Graham said.
The former Democratic senator from Florida has long been critical of the administration of former President George W. Bush for refusing to release 28 pages of the intelligence committee's report, which allegedly included information about Saudi financial support of terrorists.
Information about the Saudi couple in Sarasota was reported by Anthony Summers, an independent journalist and co-author of The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 and Osama bin Laden, and Dan Christensen, editor of the BrowardBulldog.org.
Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii, his wife Anoud and their small children resided in a home owned by Anoud's father, Esam Ghazzawi, in the gated Sarasota subdivision called Prestancia, according to the report.
The report said the FBI learned of the couple from a suspicious neighbor on the day of the attacks.
According to the report, the FBI connected the couple to more than a dozen terrorists through telephone records and through their car license tags and drivers licenses as they passed through the subdivision's security gate.
Among the terrorists who visited the home or called the couple was 9/11 leader Mohamed Atta, the report said.
The report was based on quotes from an unnamed counterterrorism official, a neighbor, subdivision administrators, the security guard and the subdivision lawyer, who said the FBI tried to get him to lure the homeowner back to the U.S.
According to the report, the Sarasota couple returned to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with Anoud's father after abandoning their home.

Warning: Very little of this blog item deals with free/open source software. In fact, with the exception of some historical references or discussions in the periphery, there's little here on FOSS. It doesn't mean you shouldn't read it; on the contrary, you might welcome the break from my tilting at windmills and read something slightly more important.
This blog deals more with the human condition, or specifically Ken Starks' human condition, and baseball, as well as why sometimes you need to step outside the proverbial batter's box to get some perspective.
As many of you already know — and for those of you keeping score at home — back in the spring Ken and I planned to go to the Astros-Giants series in Houston at the end of August. Let me back up: Ken and I have been planning to go to a ballgame since 2008, since we teamed up to organize the Lindependence Project, and never got around to it until now. Last week, he and I went to Minute Maid Park to watch the three-game series and, as one might expect, the Giants swept.
That's all the gloating I'm going to do. Honest.
As many of you also already know, Ken's about to go under the knife for larynx cancer surgery, which many of you heard about through FOSS channels; and I would be remiss if I didn't thank you for pitching in like most of you did. As far as the trip was concerned, we were touch-and-go on whether Ken was able to make the trip due to the fact that he may have had a quick reservation for a table for one at the hospital where his surgery will take place. But finally he was cleared for travel, and we ended up watching the series at Houston.
Let me tell you something about Ken that he relayed to me in conversation between innings, and I don't think he'd mind if I mention it. I thought the topic was somewhat obvious to me, yet I think Ken may feel it bears repeating.
It is this: Some may be under the impression that he's down for the count; that he's lying in bed waiting for death. Clearly he's not.
I got the impression that he finds it irksome that some may think he is somehow disabled or on the fast track to becoming an invalid. To say Ken has a lot on his plate at the moment is an understatement: In juggling the news of his possible mortality with negotiating the maze of the American health care system, all while continuing his day-to-day life, I think Ken wants folks to understand that he's still standing.
Whether it's just his Texan nature or just the fact he's an incredibly tough guy (and I'd want him on my side in any fight), Ken's continuing to do what he's always been doing while he waits for the next step on his fight against cancer. Of course, that would include getting underprivileged kids computers with Linux on them, and promoting FOSS with the same passion and zeal, just as he has been doing all along. In short, he's just getting things done; not for the accolades or for the fanfare, but because a.) it's what he does, and b.) it's the right thing to do.
No, he hasn't got the strength in his hands that he used to, and there's a self-consciousness about "the PVC pipe sticking out of my throat" that a bandana conceals. He speaks in a hushed tone now, or what he refers to as his "Godfather voice;" a voice that may even be more quiet in post-surgery. But with each time that Ken gets floored by chemo or radiation treatment — let alone by surgery — it seems he gets up off the proverbial mat, dusts himself off and is asks, "Is that all you got?"
Today, Ken blogged about the Linus Torvalds-Miguel de Icaza dustup when I'm sure he's had some other, more weighty, things to think about. During my visit to Houston, we talked a lot about how many kids were being helped in Taylor, north of Austin, by Reglue (formerly the HeliOS Project) and how this is going to continue as he recovers. In other words, it was pretty much business as usual with a couple of hurdles in the near future to overcome.
Some of you already know this story: Ken and I would probably have never met, let alone be on speaking terms, if it wasn't for FOSS. I wrote about it here before he and I actually met in Felton for Lindependence in 2008. Videographer Christian Einfeldt of San Francisco filmed much of Lindependence that year and did an interview with Ken and me that you can find on archive.org if you do a search for Lindependence, so you can see the Mutt and Jeff, the Laurel and Hardy, or the Abbott and Costello first-hand in unedited form.
I'm proud and honored to know Ken and I'm proud and honored to consider him a close friend and a teammate in the wide world of FOSS. And if he gets on base, you can bet I'm going to drive him in for a run, just as I know he'd do the same for me. It's what players on the same team do.
Play ball.

Woman Killed by Sneeze, Says Sister
(NEWSER) – A 79-year-old woman died Sunday, and her sister says a sneeze was to blame. Australian police say Edna Hickson's Hyundai Elantra rolled a number of times as she rounded a bend, causing internal injuries that ultimately killed her. But sister Betty Sheelah says Hickson, who was driving to Sheelah's home in northern New South Wales for a week's stay, didn't die on the scene. She "was quite alert after the crash. When they arrived, she told the paramedics she had sneezed and that was what led to the accident." Hickson was taken to the hospital, where she later died, reports the Armidale Express.

Cheryl - from Downingtown, SC
Leave the air-tight wrapping that you placed around the cake before freezing on the cake while defrosting – that way the condensation builds up on the wrapping, not the icing decorations. When the weather is extremely hot and humid, many decorators will first move the cake from the freezer to the refrigerator, again keeping the cake wrapped; once thawed, they then move it to a counter and allow the cake to come to room temperature. The time it takes to thaw a cake depends on the size of the layers, the density of the cake, and numerous other factors. I would plan a minimum of 24 hours.

UNSETTLED Cherries striker Wes Thomas could spark a bidding war after being linked with a host of Championship clubs.
Thomas this week resumed training with Eddie Howe's squad after returning from a fruitful loan spell at Blackpool where he netted three times in nine appearances.
Although the Tangerines had been favourites to sign him permanently, a request last week to renew his loan agreement at Bloomfield Road was rejected by Cherries.
And sources close to the Daily Echo suggest several Championship clubs have been monitoring the situation and could be planning to join the race for Thomas during the current transfer window.
Howe's former club Burnley are rumoured to be among them, while Birmingham and Huddersfield are also understood to be interested.
Cherries' League One promotion rivals Sheffield United are also believed to be keeping tabs on Thomas, while Sky Sports yesterday linked him with Championship pair Derby and Watford.
Speaking to the Daily Echo last night, Cherries boss Howe said there had been no change regarding Thomas's situation and confirmed Blackpool's loan request remained the only inquiry on the table.
Howe reluctantly gave Thomas permission to join Blackpool at the end of November after the east Londoner had made it clear he wanted to go.
Thomas, who has 18 months to run on his existing contract with Cherries, reunited with Michael Appleton at Bloomfield Road after enjoying a successful loan spell under him at Portsmouth earlier this season.
Intriguingly, Blackpool's interest in Thomas appears to have cooled ever since reports earlier this week started linking Appleton with the vacant manager's position at Blackburn - with an official approach made yesterday.
Should Thomas be sold, Cherries would look to recoup a large chunk of the six-figure sum they paid to Crawley just 12 months ago, an undisclosed fee believed to have been in the region of £175,000.
Sky Sports yesterday reported they understood that Cherries were keen on signing Leyton Orient goalkeeper Ryan Allsop and had already "expressed an interest" in the player.
The article suggested a deal for the 20-year-old was "in the process of being discussed" and claimed Cherries would be keen to have an agreement in place this month.
Cherries currently have four goalkeepers in their first-team squad - David James, Shwan Jalal, Darryl Flahavan and Benjamin Buchel - with Jalal the only one under contract to the club into next season.
Meanwhile, Glenavon defender Mark Haughey, 21, has been training this week with Cherries' development squad and lined up in a 4-3 defeat against a Brentford XI on Tuesday.

I recently found an audio cassette from 1974. It's a recording that my father made with my grandmother before she passed away. No one has played this cassette in almost 40 years and I am afraid to play it because if it snaps I'll never be able to replace it. I just watched your great tutorial on YouTube about how to use Audacity to convert cassettes to electronic files. My questions are: 1.) are old cassettes likely to snap or is that just my fear talking? 2.) Am I safer taking the cassette to a professional conversion service or is my home cassette player just as safe? Thanks for your advice, Frank
Hi, Frank. Thanks for the great question.
First off, although this probably won't set your mind at ease much, let me say that it isn't just your fear talking.
From the time that cassette tapes first hit the market, they were the leading edge of the music industry. Although they didn't sound as good as records, they were portable. There was another portable tape format called 8-track (so called because it literally had eight tracks: four music tracks with a left and right audio track each), but it was not as desirable because of its tendency to "double track" – meaning it would play music from more than one track at a time. As a result of the 8-track's failure, a LOT of us have a LOT of cassettes sitting around out there.
But the problem with both your cassette tapes and your video cassettes is that they are very fragile. They're basically made of a magnetic ferrous oxide coating on a strip of celluloid. Too much moisture damages them. Too little moisture damages them. Rewinding damages them. Even PLAYING them can cause damage. About the only thing that didn't damage the things was to leave them in their cases. Still, tape was the best format that we had for home audio and video for a long time.
As far as this treasure of a tape that you found goes, congratulations. That's a great score.
Probably the best thing would be to bring it to a professional. And do yourself a favor… don't try to cheap out and take it to Walmart. The reason that I say that is because if you can find someone who primarily does tape transfer, even if they cost a little more, they're probably going to maintain their equipment better, which means less risk to your tape. Don't rewind it. Their equipment is designed to do that much more gently than a home machine. Inform them about what conditions the tape was stored under and the age of the tape. After the transfer is done, put the tape in a case and lock it in your safe and never play it again.
None of that guarantees that the tape won't break, but it'll reduce the possibility considerably.
I hope that this helps.

Much of the below text is included in a May 2011 article by Steffen Schneider, Hawthorne Valley Farm Director of Farm Operations.
Modern, conventional agriculture, or rather agribusiness, is a highly consolidated industry focused on producing large quantities of cheap food. There are far fewer professional farmers today and, in fact, there are more people imprisoned in the United States than there are people engaged in farming as a vocation. Food scares around tainted food happen frequently, we experience the environmental degradation caused through the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and traditional and rural cultures, both in the United States and abroad, are being decimated, as local and regional food systems are "modernized". Sadly the health of our children in particular is being compromised and the effects on the next generation extend beyond obesity to dramatically increased cases of allergic and nervous disorders.
These disturbing facts beg nuanced and serious consideration as to the correct course of action moving into the future. Who will steward the many beautiful and potentially productive acres of land? Who will provide nourishing food for us in ten, fifteen, or fifty years? How can we establish among young individuals a strong and fundamental trust in their environment and food? How can we provide for global food needs in a way that does not harm the environment or exploit communities?
In order to create a context in which to answer these questions, it is imperative for agriculture to reclaim its place as a foundational element of our culture, economic activity, and society. It is up to us, food producers and eaters alike, to make this happen.
In Columbia County, NY, where Hawthorne Valley Farm is located, we are fortunate to have a burgeoning group of aspiring and practicing young farmers. However, for this next generation to thrive, we must address questions of land ownership, land tenure, and succession. These discussions are already happening. But it is up to us, farmers and eaters alike, to come together to develop innovative solutions and to create a shared vision for agriculture and community — perhaps one based on deeper connections to the living land and to one another. Will you join the conversation?

kāma may denote: 1. subjective sensuality, 'sense-desire'; 2. objective sensuality, the five sense-objects.
1. Subjective sensuality, or sense-desire, is directed to all five sense-objects, and is synonymous with kāma-cchanda, 'sensuous desire', one of the 5 hindrances (nīvaraṇa, q.v.); kāma-rāga, sensuous lust', one of the ten fetters (saṃyojana, q.v.); kāma-taṇhā, 'sensuous craving', one of the 3 cravings (taṇhā, q.v.); kāma-vitakka, 'sensuous thought', one of the 3 wrong thoughts (micchā-saṅkappa; s. vitakka). - Sense-desire is also one of the cankers (āsava, q.v.) and clingings (upādāna, q.v.).
2. Objective sensuality is, in the canonical texts, mostly called kāma-guṇa, 'cords (or strands) of sensuality'.
"There are 5 cords of sensuality: the visible objects, cognizable by eye-consciousness, that are desirable, cherished, pleasant, lovely, sensuous and alluring; the sounds ... smells ... tastes ... bodily impressions cognizable by body-consciousness, that are desirable .... " (D. 33; M. 13, 26, 59, 66).
These two kinds of kāma are called 1. kilesa-kāma, i.e. kāma as a mental defilement, 2. vatthu-kāma, i.e. kāma as the object-base of sensuality; first in MNid.. I, p. 1, and frequently in the commentaries.
Sense-desire is finally eliminated at the stage of the Non-Returner (Anāgāmī; s. ariya-puggala, saṃyojana).
The peril and misery of sense-desire is often described in the texts, e.g. in stirring similes at M. 22, 54, and in the 'gradual instruction' (s. ānupubbī-kathā). See further M. 13, 45, 75; Sn. v. 766ff.; Dhp. 186, 215.
The texts often stress the fact that what fetters man to the world of the senses are not the sense-organs nor the sense-objects but lustful desire (chandarāga). On this see A. VI, 63; S. XXXV, 122, 191. - (App.).
Sacha G wrote:I was wondering what to think of the term "kâma". Sometimes in seems to refer only to sexual activity, such as in sexual misconduct,
sometimes as anything "sensual" like eating, or even enjoying a show, and sometimes it seems to mean every pleasure derived from the five senses.
Anyone has got an idea?

Sylvester wrote:Essentially, the kamagunas are all forms, sounds, smells, tastes and tactilities.
Sylvester wrote:This is not the place to discuss the vivicceva kamehi formula.
With the arising of delight, I say, Migajala, there is the arising of suffering.
With the cessation of delight, I say, Migajala, comes the cessation of suffering.
Sylvester wrote:As far as I can see, the penultimate para of MN 150 is no more than an abridged treatment of the Migajala Suttas. MN 150 rightly speaks of the meditator who does not delight in all the kamagunas, because none of the 3 types of delight/tanha can touch him.
The passage from MN 150 includes anyone who is practicing for the removal of passion, aggression, and delusion, not just arahants who are already free from passion, aggression, and delusion, and are free of the three types of craving.
Moreover, if the forms, etc., of the wilderness were strands of sensual pleasure, then it would be completely inappropriate for Mahākassapa (Thag 18) to find this scenery delightful (manorama), enjoyable (ramma), and beautiful (rucira).
The Buddha wasn't interested in substance metaphysics.
As an object-support for developing calm (samatha) in the course of attaining jhāna, these forms cannot be strands of sensual pleasure. If they were, any concomitant pleasure and happiness which would arise in dependence upon these sensory objects would be inappropriate and not worth development (bhāvanā).
In SN 36.19 Pañcakaṅga Sutta the Buddha tells Ven. Ānanda that whatever pleasure or happiness arises in dependence on the five strands of sensual pleasure is called sensual pleasure.
Yaṃ kho, ānanda, ime pañca kāmaguṇe paṭicca uppajjati sukhaṃ somanassaṃ— idaṃ vuccati kāmasukhaṃ.
And what, for a monk, is not his own range and is the domain of others? The five strands of sensual pleasure.... These, for a monk, are not his own range and are the domain of others.
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, mā agocare carittha paravisaye. Agocare, bhikkhave, carataṃ paravisaye lacchati māro otāraṃ, lacchati māro ārammaṇaṃ. Ko ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno agocaro paravisayo? Yadidaṃ— pañca kāmaguṇā. Katame pañca?

Sylvester wrote:The way you're conflating the English translations of SN 36.19, MN 66 and SN 47.6 introduces misleading readings of "sensual pleasure", when the Pali draws a clear distinction between kamaguna and kamasukha.

Sylvester wrote:Well, Geoff, would you care to explain what the Mahaniddesa was discussing in relation to the extract you set out above? You've pulled out only a tiny snippet.
Sylvester wrote:The fact that the next passage can identify "sabbepi kāmāvacarā dhammā" as a "vatthukāmā" should give you a good indication of what the redactors thought about the universal potential of ANYTHING to provoke desire, and not just the pleasing ones.
That passage is also qualified by "taṇhāvatthukā taṇhārammaṇā kāmanīyaṭṭhena rajanīyaṭṭhena madanīyaṭṭhena kāmā ime vuccanti vatthukāmā."

CUCM, UCxN, VMWare and 3rd party blade centers
- Silver, 250 points or more
Community Spotlight Award,
Best Publication, November 2015
Cisco has the voice wiki published that has a good bit of info in it. In the Wiki, Cisco has published a standards based set of requirements for non Cisco UCS third party blade hardware for supporting virtualization of UC. It lists the expected things such as processor speed, type, amounts of memory, etc. All this is common sense.
Then it goes on to say that Cisco will only support IBM and HP, and specifically excludes all other manufacturers. As a partner, we are having issues with this. Customers don't understand why the manufacturer enters into the standard, and the only answer we can give them is "Because Cisco said so". That isn't being received very well, and we have had large customers back away from UC virtualization as a result several times.
I'm not trying to force this in any particular direction. I just need an answer as to WHY the vendor even matters if we are going to use a performance based specification. I can't make sense of this, and the customers certainly aren't getting it.
Has anyone ever gotten an official or semi official answer on this matter? Every time I've asked into the various SE's I deal with, I get complete silence in response. Not trying to force this in any particular direction....just trying to understand the answer so I can communicate the requirement and explain it better.
We truly value your concerns & would like to suggest you with 2 more options apart from what Chris mentioned about CAM team.
1. You might want to open a PDI Helpdesk case from portal www.cisco.com/go/pdihelpdesk so that an answer from the product team can be seeked.
2. Alternatively, raise a thread at Cisco Communities here https://communities.cisco.com/community/partner/collaboration/uc?view=discussions which is monitored by Cisco's product team.

Sky Sox a welcome distraction for fans
Colorado Springs offers free tickets to wildfire evacuees
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | June 29, 2012 6:17 AM ET
Against such a volatile backdrop, the performance of the local Minor League Baseball team -- in this case, the Pacific Coast League's Colorado Springs Sky Sox -- becomes a hopelessly irrelevant issue. The phrase "it's just a game" is thrown into sharper focus when contrasted with real-life tragedy and turmoil on such a grand scale, and that's a good thing. It's certainly an attitude that the Sky Sox have embraced.
"Minor League Baseball has always been a great distraction for the community," said Sky Sox president Tony Ensor, speaking on Wednesday afternoon. "The community's hurting, so one thing that we immediately wanted to do was to have evacuees come out to the ballpark, to spend three hours not looking at the fire, just enjoying Minor League Baseball and America's game at its best."
This offer applied to Sunday and Monday's ballgames, with all evacuees receiving free tickets at the box office. The team partnered with the local Care and Share food bank during each of these days as well, eventually collecting what Ensor describes as "two palletfulls" of donations (all fans who donated received ticket vouchers for a future Sky Sox contest).
"At the time what we were looking for was water and sports drinks for the firemen. These guys are doing an amazing job, and what they are being confronted with just can't be described," said Ensor.
Security Service Field is located in the northeast portion of the city, while the fires have raged in the northwest. The team ended up postponing Tuesday's ballgame, with Ensor remarking that, though "the weather was fine, once the wind shifted it became a no-brainer [to postpone]. The air quality and visibility weren't good, and we didn't want the fans to have to deal with that."
Tuesday's postponed contest was the last of the homestand, as the Sky Sox then embarked on an eight-game road trip. During Wednesday evening's game against the Tucson Padres, the team provided a Facebook status update that, once again, served as a reminder of the positive role that sports can play within a beleaguered community. Call it the power of diversion.
"Today has been another difficult day for our city," read the message. "Our thoughts are with those displaced from their homes, and the brave men and women battling the fire 24 hours a day. Here's some good news -- the Sox just put up three runs in the fifth in Tucson to make it 4-0 for our home team."
Meanwhile, the people of Colorado Springs will continue to cope with one of the most significant natural disasters to ever befall the region.
"This is the sort of thing that you have to confront in a mountain community," said Ensor. "And the great thing about Colorado Springs is the willingness of the community to help one another out. It's truly amazing. We have restaurants feeding [evacuated] families, and perfect strangers offering up their homes. The way that people open both their hearts and their purse strings has been amazing to witness."
Destruction at The Diamond
In Colorado Springs, baseball is serving as a momentary distraction from far more serious events. But fans in Richmond had the opposite experience on Monday, when an afternoon contest at The Diamond culminated with a reminder of just how devastating Mother Nature can be.

GCL: It's no Miracle
It's free to see Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford in Fort Myers this weekend as the Red Sox face the Twins.
New Britain was holding a 6-2 lead over the hometown Flying Squirrels with two outs in the top of the eighth inning when a thunderstorm swept in, and its severity caught nearly everyone off guard. A torrential downpour was accompanied by 60 mph winds, which decimated a large portion of the fence in left-center field. The outfield area was reduced to a jumbled mess of splintered plywood and strewn signage, but this didn't seem to perturb team president Todd Parnell when I spoke with him on Wednesday.
"No one was hurt, and that's the important thing," said Parnell. "Because while you can fix a fence, you can't always fix people."
The fact that the storm rolled through in the late innings of the ballgame turned out to be a significant positive, as many of the 4,500 fans in attendance had already left The Diamond.
"Maybe it was because the Squirrels were losing, or because the clouds were rolling in or because it was hot, but for whatever reason, one-half to two-thirds of the crowd had already left. The situation was more manageable that way," said Parnell. "Everyone held hands through it all, working together for the good of the cause."
Another silver lining amid this (literal) cloud is that the Squirrels left for an eight-game road trip immediately following Monday's rain-shortened contest, meaning that there will be plenty of time to make the necessary ballpark repairs.
"We work 365 days a year on the relationships that we have in the community, so when things go awry, as they did in the case of the outfield fence, it becomes a situation of friend helping friend," said Parnell.
"[After the storm], our general contractor was here in 15 minutes and the electrician was here within 25. The owner of the security company we work with was actually at the ballgame, so within half an hour we had 24-hour security at the ballpark. Because once you have a gaping hole in the left field wall, the facility became pretty accessible."
But soon such concerns will be a thing of the past.
"We just want to get the fence back up, have another sellout crowd on July 4, and just keep bringing in the numbers we've been having all year," said Parnell. "And, ironically, we've been blessed with unbelievable weather. We're still the only team in the Eastern League without a rainout."
