Buddhism is a religion. It has beliefs, rituals, altars, offerings, bells, candles, metaphysics, clergy, devotees, prayers, meditation, visions, visitations, celestial beings, other worlds, other lives, moral law, and salvation. All these are found in Zen Buddhism, in Theravada Buddhism, in Tibetan Buddhism, in Pureland Buddhism, in the other schools of Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhism, in fact, in all of Buddhism all over Asia. Buddhists probably burn more candles and incense than the Catholic Church. These are not degeneration or cultural accretions. The founder himself gave us robes, taught ritual and contrition, revealed other lives and worlds, and spoke with the gods. Secularised and rationalised variants of Buddhism exist, but it is these that are partial forms and cultural products of later derivation.
Sometimes it is said that Buddhism is scientific. This assertion would put Buddhism somehow within the frame of science, but Buddhism has much that would not fit into that frame. However, although we cannot really say that Buddhism is scientific, science is Buddhistic. Science is Buddhistic in that science is a way of knowing some things. Buddhism can accommodate everything that science perceives, but science can only perceive a fraction of what Buddhism encompasses, the fraction that appears within the frame that the restrictive rules of science impose. Distinct from science itself, there is also scientism, which is a modern philosophy. Scientism is not Buddhistic because it is the attempt to make the restrictive rules of science into the dogmas by which the whole of life should be governed. Scientism is a different religion and a rather narrow one and it would be a tragedy if Buddhism in the West were reduced to it.
The common ground of all schools of Buddhism is a religious act called taking refuge. We take refuge in the Three Treasures, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Buddha is the supreme source of teaching, love, compassion, and wisdom. Dharma indicates the fundamentals of life and being. Sangha is the church. Taking refuge in these three has salvific power. The spiritual pathway is a succession of deepenings of this act of refuge. Each of these is an awakening of faith. Each deepening of refuge is a lessening of ego. More faith, less ego. Thus Buddhism finds salvation beyond oneself. The devotee is encouraged to be ever mindful of the objects of refuge, to bow to them, make offerings, revere and worship them. Being mindful of their supreme qualities one becomes more aware of one's own deficiency. Becoming more aware of the deficiency of self, one's need to take refuge increases in intensity. Finally one lets go of self entirely, takes refuge wholeheartedly and enters nirvana. Thus, along the path, one is led to a deeper enquiry into one's own being with all its limitation, fallibility, weakness, vulnerability and waywardness of passion. The more clearly one is aware of these deficiencies the more in need of refuge one realises oneself to be. One examines the deficiencies of worldly life, the limitations of reason and of the secular world.
Thus, Buddhism is a religion. Its foundation is faith. This faith is based in real, close-to-the-bone, experience. We find that the body is not reliable. The mind is not reliable. Thoughts are not reliable. Emotions are not reliable. Circumstances are not reliable. Social status is not reliable. The present moment is not reliable. Direct awareness of the present and of the sequence of things occurring demonstrates to us the unreliability of all that the worldly mind considers as self and that it pursues. Awareness alone would leave us frightened and helpless. Therefore we need mindfulness and the other factors of enlightenment that flow from it. We need mindfulness of the treasure that is available to us. Initially we may think it is our own treasure, but this is just the conceit of the self reasserting itself. The treasure is universal and unconditional, but each encounters it in a unique way. Buddha speaks to each of us in our own language. Thus everybody has some spiritual treasure to rely upon if they will just heed it.
There is one treasure and there are three treasures and five treasures and immeasurable treasures. The one treasure is the Buddha. Only in meeting the Buddha in some way is there a refuge. The three treasures are Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The Buddha gave us the Dharma and the Sangha so that we can meet him. The Dharma is the mind of Buddha. The Sangha is a body of Buddha. The five refuges are the three treasures together with the Spiritual Buddhas and the Pure Abodes. These, too, the Buddha has revealed to us so that we can meet him. We may meet him as Shjakyamuni or as Amitabha, or as Quan Shi Yin or Tai Shih Chi or in the form of those to whom the Dharma has been transmitted, or in a direct encounter with the deeper reality. The immeasurable treasures are the myriad Buddhas in their myriad transformations. The Buddha is capable of infinite transformations so that we can meet him and thus find a true refuge.
Buddha is always trying to reach us. That he does not always succeed is because our hearts and minds are closed. They are closed by conceit. Conceit means that we take refuge in ourselves. Being full of ourselves, there is no room for Buddha to get in. We believe that "I" am a special case, that I will not reap the consequences that others reap, that I am justified, that I can control my life, my thoughts and my emotions. This belief in self invades even our spiritual life. We turn the teachings into a means to mastery of self by self or the means to achieve a narrow happiness for ourselves. This, however, is like trying to lift oneself off the ground. The effort to do so only sets us against ourselves and increases our inner conflict. We torture ourselves seeking a self-made salvation. Salvation does not come from self. Salvation comes from Buddha. Buddha does not require us to torture ourselves. Buddha loves us already. Buddha's compassion is measureless. Buddha has fellow-feeling for us as he was once as we are now. He loves us as the weak and ordinary human beings that we are.
We are all Angulimala. We all wear a necklace of trophies for which we feel guilty, but we do not know how to stop. The necklace is our ego (bhava), and the guilt is our self-destructive tendency (vibhava). These two are ever as mirror images one of the other. Ever feeding them we go round and round in the circles of samsara. We are like one in a burning house fascinated by the flames. Meanwhile the myriad Buddhas try to entice us to leave the conflagration, but we are too entranced to heed them. Then we wonder how it is that we keep getting burned. In order to ease our pain we foolishly plunge deeper into the flames believing them to be our salvation. It is self that is burning.
To the extent that we take refuge we join the Buddha in his work. We become extensions of his saving grace. In ourselves we are nothing but he works through us and we trust him to do so. The aim of life is not mere ordinary happiness. It is the salvation of all sentient beings. It is participation in the higher evolution of life, ever striving toward universal, unconditional love. This is a religious vision.
The way out of the fire is, on the one hand, to admit our frail nature and, on the other, to bring to mind our treasure. Turn to the Buddha and make our life, weak as it is, into an offering. By prostrating ourselves and making offerings to many Buddhas we give up the conceit of self and rely upon their saving grace. We trust them to do their work and feel grateful. We pray to them to stay in the world until samsara ceases and turn the wheel of Dharma for us. Then we discover a life surrounded by their grace. We can feel gratitude that the Buddha is reaching out to us, that the Dharma has already been given to us, that there exists a great sangha of loving, compassionate, joyful and steady companions upon the path, that we receive every day immeasurable material, spiritual and ultimate benefits.
It is not by satisfying the ego's belief in our own super-human nature and limitless self-entitlement that we find salvation. That way lies only frustration and a burdensome life of one crisis after another. Only when we see our poverty can we find the treasure, for the treasure does not lie inside oneself. Investigating the reality of our own case and holding the treasure before us work together. We cannot find the treasure without finding our poverty first, but we cannot face our poverty without having a treasure to rely upon. This is the impossible situation of samsara where the conceit of self allows no chink of light to enter. There is no way out of this prison by logic or effort or self-perfection. Only faith can open the door, faith that yields wisdom. Buddhism is a religion that opens the door. Buddha is a power that is not oneself. Be mindful of this refuge. One who acts with such a mind finds that bliss follows as a shadow that never fades.

I'd be glad to hear more Andrew.
Obviously the conversation going on between these terms is much broader than this one example by Dharmavydia.
The definition of the dharma that you give here is the one I'm most used to I suppose. Certainly it's one I that hear a lot of from good friends. I think there are plenty of good reasons for its use, but I find myself less sure than ever that a clear distinction really exists between these terms.
Anaesthetics are also about the relief of suffering. So is euthanasia. So is storytelling. So is activism, in large part anyway.
What manner of relief is meant, in this context? Relief from what?
To me, the relief being spoken of here is that which religion has always spoken to, for all its manifold failings: a religious matter, in that it concerns at the most fundamental level what it means to live a fulfilled human life. Concerns, in other words, the manner in which we relate to the others in our life, in all senses.
I'd be glad to know how you see this distinction.
All best wishes,
Buddhism is not about 'religion', it is about the Relief
of suffering.
Thank you for this piece, Dharmavidya! It succinctly expresses a sort of frustration I feel in the modern packaging of Buddhism as either "scientific" or self-help mindfulness training. Both completely miss the riches of refuge, grace, and feeling.
This is one part that grabbed me as it describes much of my journey on the path: "This belief in self invades even our spiritual life. We turn the teachings into a means to mastery of self by self or the means to achieve a narrow happiness for ourselves. This, however, is like trying to lift oneself off the ground. The effort to do so only sets us against ourselves and increases our inner conflict. We torture ourselves seeking a self-made salvation. Salvation does not come from self. Salvation comes from Buddha."
Namo Amida Bu!
Thank you Mat, Satya and Kaspa for your comments. Interesting how different bits of this speak to different people. The piece came out of teaching i have been doing here in Italy. Teaching is a way of learning if one is open to new possibilities. The effort to reach across a gap of language and culture can somehow provide the conditions in which creativity can happen. I think this is not so much a matter of the chemistry of different positions - though that must play a part - but more the fact that when you meet a group and do not at first know how to reach them you move to a more open, modest position and this itself makes one more open to the things that drop from the sky in the small wee hours when one wakes and makes a few notes.
Many thanks for this Dharmavydia.
It's a great help to hear this, and interesting to see what struck others, here.
This is the part that pulled me into focus as I read:
"Only when we see our poverty can we find the treasure, for the treasure does not lie inside oneself…We cannot find the treasure without finding our poverty first, but we cannot face our poverty without having a treasure to rely upon. Only faith can open the door, faith that yields wisdom. Buddhism is a religion that opens the door."
Sometimes, when I have heard this said here in the past, I've found an argument rising up in me against it.
As in: 'Surely this just asserts the ego's reality, over-defines its leaky boundaries, to keep insisting that grace is not from within, that the light is necessarily encountered as other to our self?'
But reading this, I feel that sense of poverty coming home to roost, as an insistent personal truth: 'This enlightenment business really isn't going anywhere much, is it?' Stumbling along with both hands empty, after all these years. Some good days, some not-so-good days, just like everyone else, it seems.
The relief of seeing the ordinary, messy stuff of human fallibility as the basis of the path, not something to be set - or swept - aside, feels like performing a slow 180 degree turn. Or at least, seeing the possibility of that turn.
That bullish scientism rhetoric has been like a koan for me, for years now. Leaves me with a sense of stubborn resistance, one that I've often struggled to voice clearly, or at all.
Hearing your articulate riposte is a gladness and a relief: "What he said".
"Buddha is always trying to reach us. That he does not always succeed is because our hearts and minds are closed. They are closed by conceit. Conceit means that we take refuge in ourselves. Being full of ourselves, there is no room for Buddha to get in." Love that bit. Thank you Dharmavidya.
Thank you for posting this Dharmavidya. One line stands our for me particularly today, as I recognise myself clearly in this description:
We are all Angulimala. We all wear a necklace of trophies for which we feel guilty, but we do not know how to stop. The necklace is our ego (bhava), and the guilt is our self-destructive tendency (vibhava). These two are ever as mirror images one of the other.

The Vandoricon Senate Council, is the ruling body of Vandorica and its people.
History Edit
As the Archon worked to rebuild her civilization, the Senate was eventually formed out of Paragons and the various guild leaders. This group would gather to decide the laws and regulations of the Vandoricon of and how to deal with issues affecting their civilization.
Their first major crises was the Predabot uprising, which has left a constant issue for them.
The next major issue was the Empire. Instead of facing their Ubonium weapons of mass destruction, they surrendered peacefully but have since chaffed under their sanction and bigotry towards 'machines'.
The senate has agreed to the export of resources as tribute but secretly plans who eventually rebel against them. Constructing secret warships and taking their advance science underground and slowly but surely building up their forces.
Structure Edit
- Outer Council: Comprised of representatives from the guilds and also from the various districts and minor cities around the planet. It is they who come together and vote on any new laws or bills. The Outer Council members are also meant to call for assistance in any issue affecting their sector that cannot be dealt with normall.
- Inner Council: Composed of specially elected Paragons, Guild Heads and the Archon, their duty is to come up with new laws and bills for them and the Outer Council to decide upon.
- Archon: The Head of the Council and Matrix bearer. Their job is sign off any new bill or law passed. Though mainly ceremonial , the Archon can stop any law of bill. They are also the ones who preside over Council meetings

|Confusion about dynamicOnly NetworkConnector property
|Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:56:30 GMT
Hello, I'm having trouble understanding the proper use for the 'dynamicOnly' NetworkConnector property. In the table of properties described here http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html, I find this description: dynamicOnly (default=false): if true, only forward messages if a consumer is active on the connected broker Then, on the same page, under Configuration Pitfalls, it reads: If dynamicOnly is set to false and the networkTTL to a low number it's possible that all the messages will end up at a certain broker with no networkTTL left. Therefore you will not be able to receive this messages from a queue if your client isn't connected to this specific broker. To avoid this behavior be sure to set the TTL to a high enough value (at very least the number of brokers the message will pass though in the worst case) and, more important, to set dynamicOnly to true. These statements seem to contradict one another. According the the description in the table, when dynamicOnly=true, the messages are forwarded to the another broker only if that broker has an active consumer. Yet, the Configuration Pitfalls note says "If dynamicOnly is set to false... it's possible... you will not be able to receive messages from a queue if your client (i.e. consumer?) isn't connected to this specific broker." I read this over and over, and I keep getting myself wrapped around the axle. I have a pretty simple setup with two brokers A and B, where I have a consumer on A, and a producer on B, and I have a static connection configured from B to A. At various times, messages stop being forwarded from broker B to broker A, and thus my consumer sits idle. I'm trying to determine if I need to set this property and/or the networkTTL.

If you have been handling with give-and-take pecuniary resource for any dimension of time, you doubtless have visaged the sound out of which is better: Load Funds or No Load Funds. If you are new to investing, "load" merely refers to the committee stipendiary to the bourgeois selling the monetary fund. "No load" process here is no commission on the acquisition or merchandising.
Most thought in the foregone have central solely on gig comparisons. Even appraisal employment close to Morningstar have occasionally chimed in beside their view. However, fairly than immersion lone on performance, near are more than a few separate issues I reflect on far much important:
- Who is mercantilism mass assets and why?
- Who markets no loading funds?
- Which one is appropriate for you?
Who is marketing mass pecuniary resource and why? Most shipment finances are someone sold done securities firm houses, trade and industry planners and Registered Representatives. With few exceptions, maximum of those tribe operate on the proof of mercantilism as such article of trade as practicable. They owed their commissions up front, as a rear legs end charge, or both (usually in the ambit of 5 - 6%). Whether you label silver or not is not their direct interest. What matters furthermost to those operating underneath this viewpoint is how repeatedly you buy-and thereby generate new commissions for them.
Who markets no weight funds? No Load monetary resource are any marketed head-on by the shared fund companies or, more unremarkably these days, offered through step-down houses similar Schwab, Fidelity, and numerous others. The good thing to this is that you have an untrammeled verdict of monetary resource in one deposit and don't have to unscrew separate accounts for respectively shared money loved ones that you are considering.
Most fee supported property advisors, close to myself, have sovereign dealings near such highest deduction firms and are able to donate clients honorable roughly speaking any no burden common money unclaimed. They receive no punishment from the stubborn and just get prepaid by the case at a pre-determined fee system. Under this arrangement, near is no covered need to go you a out of the ordinary monetary fund or to try and provide much in command to get a larger committee.
Which one is proper for you? Whether you prefer dealing near mortal commerce load assets or an advisor getting you into no loads, let me create one item deeply clear: You can kind burial or misplace business any way! Why?
Let's take for granted for the moment that within is no disproportion in show linking the types of funds-some of any nice will do healed and several of any kindly won't. What later determines the celebratory finish of you buying any a bushel or a no bushel fund?
The key is the warning you're acquiring. And the information is that abundant securities firm houses and Registered Representatives be given to be more curious in their lucre than yours. Their asset suggestion is mostly central say Buy and Hold or dollar sum averaging and similar financially contestable recommendations. Hardly of all time will you get warning about once and why you should leaving the market, any because of concentrated income or to shorten your financial loss. Getting out of the activity is just not in their cream of the crop interest, conversely it may be in yours.
I essential own up that, as a fee based advisor, I am to some extent prejudiced and I prefer no lot assets for my clients. I admit that this caste of plan is best for all parties up to their necks. It allows me to disdain any conflict of involvement and to industry solely for my clients' financial godsend. And the enhanced my clients do, the improved I do.
I am able to determine no stack cash in hand and produce buy decisions only on the principle of my common monetary fund way chase epistemology. Following its signals, I can get clients into the bazaar or out of it as repeatedly as is critical to maximise profits or defend funds. And because I effort next to no payload funds, other than a drastically infrequent telescoped word rescue fee, in that are no deal charges no business how lots modern times we put out of place into or out of the market.
If activity requisites rule that we support excursion in a sponsorship marketplace for an protracted juncture in directive to outwit a tolerate souk (as was the proceedings from 10/13/2000 to 4/28/2003), I can advocate that because it is in the top-quality flavour of my patron. I am always reasoning in the order of what will reward my client, not nerve-racking about lost commissions. (Please see my nonfictional prose "How we eluded the Bear in 2000" at .
Bottom line: Load monetary fund vs. No Load shared monetary fund shouldn't be the bring out. Having a regular program and unswerving direction as to once to buy and once to supply is far more fundamental and will aid you to out of harm's way a well-situated financial rising.

We have purchased and used hundreds of these MCM 6' USB A/B cables over the past several years for college classroom instructional systems, and they have always performed well, with little to no failures. For the price, they can't be beat, and to have them perform as well as they do makes choosing these cables a no-brainer. We've been back many times to purchase cases of these, and we'll definitely be back again for more.
I have used MCM for many years and would give high recommendation for getting the job done right.

How do you decide which partner is your +1 when you can only bring one?

First figure out if anyone has other plans that day. Then consider what the event is. Who else will be at tthe event. Do more than one (or ANY) of your partners WANT to go. Consider all the practical things first, and if you still have to decide, all other things being equal, then flip a coin and take turns.
Story time:
Recently my Spouse earned a certificate of achievement from the Appalachian Mountain Club, and they have a little "awards banquet" type of thingy where they congratulate people and hand out the "diplomas". Spouse's other partner "invited theirself" to this, and bought a ticket, and then something else came up and they decided they "couldn't" go. They wrote to me on FB asking me if I would like to go. I said "oh how cute, my spouse's other partner trying to set us up on a date, LOL" (and they thought I was offended at first). Turns out, I already had plans for that date and all 3 of us ended up doing separate things. The extra ticket was only $10 or so, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
I guess my point here is twofold - 1) just because you have more than one partner, it doesn't mean ANY of them have to or will be available to be your "date". 2) if you feel that choosing one person because the invitation says "+1" implies a value-judgment about the relationships, you could always opt out of bringing a guest, or you could invite a guest who is a friend instead of a partner.

Better Batter G-free Baking Mix--A Schnazzy Review
Yes, I am a foodie. I eat food. I look at food. I dream about food. And sometimes, I drink my food from a glass. I even window shop for FOOD. (I wish I were joking...) But the one thing that usually identifies an actual 'foodie' from a hungry person is that we, as foodies, READ about food. And we do it often. Many, MANY hours spent at the computer screen going through food blogs. Looking for great deals on foodie magazine subscriptions. And lots of printer ink and paper consumed in the recipe-printing process. Being a foodie can be an expensive habit. But just as the world requires crazy people to stick their hands in the mouths of alligators and to base jump from tall buildings, just so somebody else can write about it, the world also requires people to shed sweat and tears in the kitchen. It's a dirty and delicious job, and I bravely accept the mission.
I have a LOOOONNNNG list of blogs on my Google reader. And my faves come directly through my e-mail when their authors post something new over which I can drool. And drool I do when I peep new creations over at Gluten Free on a Shoestring. The most clever thing about Nicole's blog is that most of her recipes are centered around using only ONE gluten-free mix, a simple cup-for-cup flour replacement called Better Batter.
I DO prefer my own variation of this made-from-scratch mix, but it's always nice to have a gluten-free Plan B on standby, especially on days where I do NOT feel like pulling five storage bags of various flours from the freezer, encrusted with old, sticky xanthan gum frozen to the outside of most of them.
Truthfully, until recently, I've only used Nicole's blog for recipe ideas with my own mix. (I actually make this coffee cake at least once a month, replacing the blueberries with walnuts and using my own mix, and making it dairy-free as well.) I was a bit snobbish toward flour mixes, and mostly because I'd tried nearly a dozen and couldn't find a single one I loved, or one that would actually work with replacing the flour in my own recipes. Often times, I'd have to dramatically alter the amount of liquid ingredients, and the kinds of liquids I was using, to accommodate the flour mix itself. When I'm paying $6.00 for a small box of gluten-free mix, it should be accommodating ME, not the other way around. And Better Batter seems to do the trick...for the most part.
If I had not already had so much experience with creating a mix from scratch and learning about finely milled brown rice flour from Authentic Foods, then I would probably give this flour a 4 and 1/2 star rating. Because it is probably one of the best mixes I've used to date, with the exception of Pamela's, I would not hesitate to give it a four-star rating, or at least something pretty close. I tested this recipe with two of my own personal recipes: A strawberry cake and chocolate chip muffins.
Sadly I don't have any pictures of the cake. And that's okay, because I didn't exactly 'love' the cake either. It was okay. There was no detectable grit, a common 'symptom' of gluten-free baking mixes or poorly-devised from-scratch recipes. So immediately gives the mix three stars. But I found that the batter was a bit more 'elastic' than I would have preferred. And this is because Better Batter has xanthan gum already added to its mix. This is GREAT for people who do not want to invest in that tiny, expensive bag of glue. (Keep in mind, a tiny bit DOES go a long way.) But I tend to use much less xanthan gum than what most recipes call for, often only half the amount. I use the LEAST AMOUNT POSSIBLE to provide the most lifelike result. I want my gluten-free goodies to be GREAT and actually rival their wheat-filled counterparts. But because the mix actually contains xanthan gum already, I would bump my rating up another half star. This can be a real money and time saver for gluten-free peeps who hate to give up muffins and cookies due to a silly little gluten intolerance.
What gives this mix a four-star rating is due to the fact of HOW WELL these chocolate chip muffins turned out. Here's the thing. I could TELL they weren't made from the perfect blend of flours I typically use. But NOBODY ELSE could tell a freaking difference. Nobody even knew they were gluten-free. I took these muffins (ones shown in the pictures) to an event one day, and one girl who didn't even know what gluten-free even meant was going gaga over my muffins. Of course she appreciated that I had included enough chocolate chips to supply the armageddon. Girl's gotta have some chocolate. But in all honesty, after I got over the fact that the batter was fairly 'tight' in structure, the muffins turned out great. No crumbling thanks the the amount of xanthan gum. And barely any detectable grit. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, could tell these had any rice flour in them. I think out of 100%, I detected the rice flour about 3%. And finally, the mouth-feel is what convinced me. These muffins were impossibly moist...and even soft! Yes, soft. I doubted they would be after seeing how 'stiff' the batter was. But I now release those judgments. I would be more than happy to pay $3.50 a piece for one of these giant gems.
Sooooooooooooooo...my final verdict is this. GREAT all-purpose flour blend for your gluten-free muffins for sure! And I also think Better Batter is super versatile for denser desserts such as coffee cakes. And if you want to try your hand at softer, more tender cakes...I would definitely check out Gluten Free on a Shoestring and FOLLOW her recipes exactly as written. This IS a mix where some of the recipes may need to be developed around the mix itself. But it worked perfectly as a cup-for-cup replacement in my non-gluten-fee muffin recipe. And that is a TRUE testament for a well-developed gluten-free baking mix.

Parish set up his own brokerage recruiting practice, called Axiom Consulting Group, in 2006. Parish said UBS was one of its major clients. UBS confirmed Parish was one the recruiters it used. Parish said he sold his recruitment firm in March to his two partners for an undisclosed sum. AdvisorHUB launched on Jan. 21 as a smart phone app with a staff of four people and $250,000 of startup capital from five investors, including Parish. The website was launched soon after. Parish declined to name the other investors.Initially, the service failed to get traction, a problem that Parish blames on a design glitch that made it difficult to find in major search engines. He decided to drop the subscription and add the rumors section, where his staff posts rumors under the pen-name "Yoda." "The information on deals for some of these firms is way off," said Frank LaRosa, a recruiter. LaRosa said brokers approached him with unrealistic expectations based on information on AdvisorHUB. Parish said his approach when deciding what to publish in the rumors section is, there's a grain of truth in everything. He said he and his staff of eight people now check anonymous tips with two or three other sources until they are satisfied it is worth publishing. He said he fields up to 400 emails and 100 text messages and phone calls daily from tipsters.

It was the Penn State that Hackenberg hoped to revitalize when he signed on, this time in a bowl game he was never promised to see. He knew regression would follow, just as it had in his second season. There were sacks, a failed onside kick, an injury to captain Miles Dieffenbach that led him to be carted off the field and two bad snaps that BC recovered. Still, Hackenberg forged ahead, leading his team back from a 14-point deficit with a game-tying throw in the fourth quarter and then another scoring pass in overtime before kicker Sam Ficken, the captain who inhabited retiree Derek Jeter's locker, won the game with an extra point (made possible when BC counterpart Mike Knoll hooked an extra point moments earlier, following the Eagles' touchdown drive to open overtime). The scoreboard glowed: Penn St. 31 — BC 30. Hackenberg, who completed 34 of 50 passes for 371 yards and 4 TDs, raised his helmet.

Stumbling Faith (11 of 34) by Jerry Vines
This content is part of a series.Stumbling Faith (11 of 34)
Jerry Vines
Genesis 12:9-13,13-4
It is sometimes the case that those who come to know the Lord in the early days of their life, they have stepped out on faith, they are walking by faith, living for the Lord, and very early on in their faith journey they stumble and fall. Now they do not lose their salvation. The Bible teaches us that when God saves us, He saves us for eternity. So we do not fall away in the sense that we lose our salvation. But it is possible for a believer to stumble in the faith and not be everything that God wants them to be.
It doesn't have to be that way. In Jude 24 the Bible says, "Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling." Falling is better translated stumbling. God is able to help us keep from stumbling. The Bible says in Second Peter 1, verse 10, "if you do these things, you shall never fall." That is, you will never stumble.
Yet is it not the truth that along the way, we as Christians do stumble. James 3, verse 2 says, "For in many things we all stumble." It is possible to stumble in the faith.
One of the reasons the Bible gives us the lives of these Bible characters is not to encourage us to stumble, but to encourage us when we DO stumble. We read about some of the great heroes of the faith. We read about David, a man after God's own heart. Yet, we know that David stumbled. We read in the New Testament about the great preacher on the day of Pentecost, Simon Peter, yet he denied the Lord and stumbled in his faith.
So here is the father of the faithful, the great friend of God. He has taken the beginning steps of the journey of faith. But very soon, after he begins the journey, he stumbles in his faith.
The Bible does not give these examples in order to encourage us to stumble, but to encourage us WHEN we stumble to show us that it is not all over and to show us that God can use us again and God can get us on our feet again.
I want us to follow stumbling faith on the part of Abraham ...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of visual loss in adults over 50 in the developed world. The leading cause of severe vision loss in AMD is choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the growth of pathologic blood vessels under the retina resulting in neovascular AMD (nvAMD). Intra-vitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents have become the mainstay of therapy for nvAMD. However, the long-term response to anti-VEGF therapy is highly variable, with 10 - 20 % of subjects requiring only a few injections to control the CNV activity while over 50% of patients requiring frequent, almost monthly, injections (a condition terms anti-VEGF refractoriness). Understanding the factors underlying the variability in response to anti-VEGF therapy in nvAMD is a critical aspect in designing better treatment for nvAMD. A factor playing a large role in the variability to anti-VEGF therapy may be the proportion of non- endothelial cells (EC) in the CNV as lesions that contain a high proportion of non-ECs would be more resistant to anti-VEGF agents than predominately EC lesions. Previous studies have demonstrated that circulating bone marrow-derived cells (for this proposal these cells will be referred to as vascular precursor cells (VPrCs contribute to CNV lesions. These cells are proposed to migrate to the choroid and incorporate into CNV as endothelial cells (ECs) and various non-endothelial cells (vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, pericytes). This proposal will investigate the following hypothesis: A subset o nvAMD subjects display an increased prevalence of circulating VPrC cells that are predetermined to become non-EC cells, and this increase in non-EC cells is correlated to a need for frequent reinjections of intra-vitreal anti- VEGF agents in these subjects. To do this, th following aims will be undertaken.
Aim 1 : Demonstrate that purified CD34+ cells isolated from subjects with nvAMD display the characteristics of VPrC cells in culture.
Aim 2 : Demonstrate that the circulating VPrC populations, defined as purified CD34+ cells, can directly display markers of non-EC cells, and these cells are predetermined to become non-EC cells.
Aim 3 : Demonstrate that increased prevalence of VPrC-CD34+ cells with non-EC marker expression correlates with refractoriness to anti-VEGF therapy in nvAMD subjects. This research will dissect mechanisms of anti-VEGF refractoriness and begin to understand how patients could benefit from adjunct therapy for CNV with drugs that target non-EC cells in the lesion.
Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents have become the mainstay of therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD). However, despite the robust response in the first 1 to-2 years of anti-VEGF treatment, the long-term response to anti-VEGF therapy is highly variable. This proposal will investigate circulating vascular progenitor cells and their role in the response to anti- VEGF therapy in nvAMD subjects.

Now, finally, the team are ready to show what they have been working on to those of us who are not lucky enough to be in internal testing, and they are going to do so in a rather special way. Next week is the official Camelot Unchained BSC week. It's called BSC week because they are going to reveal all of the Bat Shit Crazy systems that they are putting into the game in a way that hasn't been done before.
For the whole week the team will be live-streaming a variety of content, including competitions, live gameplay demos, presentations on game systems, Q&A sessions and surprises. There are bound to be some interesting reveals (this is a game that really is trying to do things in a new way with lots of its systems). I've never know a development team to do a whole week of content reveals like this before.
So far City State Entertainment has been true to their 15 foundational principles and their 11 promises to their backers. I can't wait to see everything they have planned for the BSC week, but from the programme below it looks like every single day is going to be packed with something worth watching.
If you're interested in the game have a look at the programme and tune in to their twitch.tv channel to find out more next week.

Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
First-of-its-kind international contest takes first steps toward establishing "best practices" for using genomic sequencing
Read the most recent article from Boston Children's Medical Editor Dr. Claire McCarthy
Support the hospital with a donation that helps kids get the care they need.
For the generations who grew up before the 1960s, contracting measles was an accepted fact of life. Spread by an infected person's sneezes and coughs, the highly contagious viral disease wasn't just an annoyance that caused high fevers and an itchy rash: It killed people. In the decade prior to the start of the measles vaccination program, it is estimated 3 to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year, with 48,000 hospitalizations and nearly 500 deaths.
But due to a successful measles vaccination program beginning in 1963, measles was all but eradicated in the U.S., and many parents and doctors have never even witnessed a case. Because of this lack of familiarity and a vocal anti-vaccine movement among parents who feel—despite a paucity of scientific evidence—that there are connections between vaccines and autism, some parents have chosen not to vaccinate their children, leading to an increase in measles cases. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, measles cases are at their highest level in more than a decade. In the first seven months of 2008, 131 cases were reported in the United States.
We spoke with Ronald Samuels, MD, MPH, about the rise in measles cases.
Measles is a severe viral infection that causes very high fevers and a rash. If you are in the United States or another developed country, the fatality rate is one in 1,000. There is no real treatment for measles; the only adequate treatment is prevention. Once kids get measles, our treatment is just supportive care, fluids and fever control. Worldwide, there are still more than a quarter-million deaths a year from measles.
Most people who die from measles actually die from complications of the measles, as they become susceptible to pneumonia and other infections while they are sick. They also can get encephalitis (brain swelling) from the disease.
All children should receive a vaccine between 12 and 15 months of age for the first dose, and a second dose at age 4 or before. Any child 6 to 12 months of age, who normally would be too young to be vaccinated in the United States, should be vaccinated if traveling to any destination where measles has not been eradicated, which includes most of Europe, the Caribbean, and south and central Asia. Those children should then be revaccinated according the United States schedule after 12 months of age, as the MMR doesn't provide long-term protection if a patient received it before 12 months of age.
The shots hurt when you get them. They can also cause fever and mild rash one to three weeks later. It's very different from most vaccines—most kids who do get a mild fever don't get it until a few weeks after the shot.
People with severe egg allergy should be vaccinated only with care. People who are significantly immunocompromised should discuss with their doctor before receiving the vaccine.
We are seeing these new "pockets" or clusters of decreased vaccination, which are fueling outbreaks. Measles is very contagious; it takes just a few people to contract it, and then it spreads like wildfire. Most of the cases of measles we see in the United States are imported from overseas. For example, somebody from India comes to visit the United States, or someone from the US goes to Switzerland, catches it there and brings it back. We're having unvaccinated people do foreign travel and then come home and expose other unvaccinated people.
Second, we're also seeing a lot of unvaccinated young children traveling overseas to places where they are exposed and then bringing it back. Measles is much more common in the rest of the world than people realize.
When people opt out, they substantially raise the chance that measles will be transmitted around the community, not only to their child, but to children who can't be vaccinated, or to the small number of children for whom the vaccine just doesn't work. The kids at most risk are those under 1 year of age who are not yet routinely vaccinated yet.
First, most people underestimate the risk of diseases they haven't seen in a long time and overestimate the risk of vaccines. Second, there are some specific concerns people have, especially around autism, which almost always develops in the second year of life concurrent with the time we give multiple vaccines. It's almost always going to be true that a child who develops any illness in the second year of life is going to contract it soon after one of these vaccines. There is a lot of evidence that the vaccine is not related to autism, but people throughout history have always been afraid of vaccines.
I tell parents that they are always right to worry about their child. If you're not worried about your child, you're not being a good parent. But people underestimate the risks of the disease. They say it's 10 days of fever; well it's 10 days of fever unless your child dies. If I told you it's a one in a 1,000 chance that your child's going to die, what would you do? What you're betting is not that the disease is mild, but that your child is not going to get the disease. If your child gets the disease, it's a real risk, and if people don't vaccinate their kids, the risk goes way up.

Nif's Egg in a Cup
Recipe by Nif_H
I can't begin to count how many times I had this as a child and served it to my kids! It's easy and very tasty and we still enjoy it. This was our 'fancy' name (ha ha) for it but you may have your own version. In response to a recipe review, I always use large eggs, so the boiling time may be less for smaller eggs. 3 minutes should still be the minimum amount of time though. Enjoy!
Top Review by PalatablePastime
Great recipe- soft boiled without being overcooked. I used an egg topper tool on mine which scores the egg so the top can be cut off without cracking into jagged edges, but you can use the tip of a sharp paring knife to do this as well- just kind of scratch a ring around the egg. Takes the headache out of cutting the top off. Thanks for sharing-

Directions See How It's Made
- With a spoon, gently place the eggs in boiling water. Boil for 4 minutes and place eggs in egg cups. Immediately crack top of egg off with a knife, salt and pepper to taste. If you let the eggs sit, they will continue to cook.
- While eggs are boiling, toast the bread and spread with butter. Cut toast into strips - I try for 5. Dip the toast strips into the runny yolk - YUM!
- After the yolk is gone, you can scoop out the white with a spoon and eat that as well.

By Justin Cox
Killeen Daily Herald
In criminal sentencing, why do judges give someone probation time rather than sending them to jail?
Sometimes they have little or no choice, especially if the defendant is a first-time offender. Under Texas state law, for first-time drug offenders found guilty of the lowest drug possession offense, possession of less than 1 gram cocaine, for instance, probation is mandatory.
That means that it doesn't matter if the prosecutor, defense attorney, arresting officer, or even sitting judge believes the defendant deserves jail time; under state law, he or she gets probation only.
Bell County District Attorney Henry Garza said he doesn't believe many people realize that fact.
"When that law was passed, it was passed as a 'one size fits all,'" Garza said. "In reality, that's just not true. What it does is prevent the courts from being able to make individual determination based on each case. I think the judges ought to have the discretion in individual cases to make the determination."
Garza said he is firmly against the law because it puts two vastly different groups of felony offenders in the same punishment category.
"I generally think the public is unaware mandatory probation sentences must be given out by the courts," he said. "The Legislature was under tremendous pressure to reduce the population in the penitentiary. Many of those were drug offenders. They were hoping to rehabilitate to save against having to construct new facilities in the future."
Garza said he believes that about 60 percent of offenders who get probation end up committing another crime shortly thereafter and are back in the system, only to get the jail sentence the next time around that they should have already received.
"There are success stories out there," Garza said. "For the individual who really wants to redirect their life, we'll never see that individual again, and they'll live out their lives. But more so, we'll see individuals who have been on probation who are back up here (after committing another felony)."
Prosecutors aren't the only ones who believe that the mandatory probation isn't a viable solution. Defense attorney Paul LePak has tried many cases through the Bell County Justice Complex, and said sometimes, probation just isn't the way to go, not even for his client.
"I'm certainly a proponent of probation in the right circumstance," LePak said. "If you've got nothing more than high school hijinks, then probation is an acceptable punishment. But there are lots of these kids where it's automatic probation, and that's just not appropriate, even if it is their first felony offense. They've professed the fact that they are not gonna quit using drugs, or they're not going to quit dealing drugs, or they are not mentally capable of following the rules of probation for an extended period of time."
But one way or another, it all comes back to the judge.
Judge Martha Trudo serves as one of the three criminal court justices from her elected post as the 264th District Court judge. Trudo said that even with offenses such as burglaries, probation is the necessary step and a chance to give some kids the wake-up call they need.
"For some who are not getting 'pen' time the first time around, have no prior record ... they are 17- or 18-years old – perhaps they cooperated or maybe had given information – maybe there's not a problem with giving a young person a second chance," Trudo said. "When they see the same person picked up time and time again, I don't know that it happens that often. I don't think you find that very often, unless there is a really good reason. It's a case-by-case basis."
Sometimes, she said, the prosecutors will already have a deal worked out which is amenable for the defense that gives probation a second time around. She said she reviews it and asks the attorneys about the specifics, and reviews the evidence to make sure it's appropriate given the circumstances.
"Sometimes the state will come up with some squirrely offer like that," Trudo said. "It's one thing to give someone the opportunity to straighten up ... sometimes the state plea bargains to get the jail time with a felony conviction."

Julie Brady Engagement
February 10, 2012 by staff
Julie Brady Engagement, If Red Sox Nation were ever to become some sort of New England sports kingdom then there is little doubt that the Brady brood would be the royal family. This status is only cemented by the latest matrimonial news from Massachusetts. According to the Boston Herald, Boston Red Sox star Kevin Youkilis is engaged to Julie Brady, sister of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
The two had been dating for at least a year, according to the Herald.
This will be Youkilis' second engagement. The Red Sox infielder was married to Enza Sambataro in 2008 (although not legally), the ex-girlfriend of actor Ben Affleck. The couple split up two years later.
Surprisingly, this isn't the first time that high-profile athletes have married into each other's families. Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk is married to the sister of Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brady Quinn, Laura (who's famous for wearing a split jersey of the two when Hawk played for Ohio State and Quinn was at Notre Dame.)

First Cruise with RC: Serenade of the Seas Cruise Review by maypool1
Overall Member Rating
First Cruise with RC
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
This was the first cruise with Royal Caribbean line, and I have to say on the whole I wasn't disappointed.
From the moment you embark to the moment you disembark, you are treated to first class service.
We checked in about 2pm and we were only 10 minutes checking in and getting our cabin keys, the check-in staff were lovely. The cabin was ready as soon as we arrived.
The crew are friendly, welcoming and always there with a helping hand. The room was more than adequate and we were looked after by a wonderful stateroom attendant, Patu.
If I had one issue it was the fact that everything is in US dollars (we were not advised prior to departure) also the only thing to let this cruise down was the entertainment, mediocre springs to mind, not of a standard I would expect from such a big company.
Food was plentiful More and always well presented and the choice was good, you would have to be very picky not to find something you liked. Again the staff in the dining room were excellent especially Mary who looked after us the whole trip.
The drinks were rather pricey, on average a beer was $8 and a cocktail was $10 going up to $12 depending which one you had.
Cruising days - again the entertainment was barely there, unless you liked listening to lectures or attending the casino or art auctions, there wasn't much variety of things going on.
We tend to like to explore on our own, which in a way was good as the excursions could be a little pricey, $54-over $100 depending on the excursion.
If you look around in the ports you can fine cheap transport to get you about if needed, we saw as much as the excursions passengers for a fraction of the price, in most ports. Less
