Actually, the Buddha defined [the established] vinnana [the aggregate of consciousness] in MN 22: Alagaddūpama Sutta: [http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html]kirk5a wrote:That would seem to present a puzzle in understanding this statement then, doesn't it?rowyourboat wrote:We come to see that a good portion of what we 'see' is created in our minds ... even awareness itself -vinnana.
"Being freed, dissociated, and released from consciousness... the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted awareness."
If vinnana=consciousness=awareness=mental creations, I wonder how much sense it would make to say "Being freed, dissociated, and released from from consciousness... the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted consciousness." or "Being freed, dissociated, and released from awareness... the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted awareness." Why would the Tathagata dwell in something mind-created? And how could he dwell dissociated in the very thing he was dissociated from?
"He assumes about what seen, heard, sensed, cognized, attained, sought after, pondered by the intellect: 'This is me, this is my self, this is what I am.'"
Clearly the Buddha referred to [the established] vinnana as not only the "bare" awareness, but also "sought after, pondered by the intellect", which appears to be awareness plus proliferations. To my limited knowledge, in some Chinese and Tibetan Mahayana traditions vinnana seems to be translated as "discrimination", "differentiation", and etc. Somehow such activities were all put into sankharas (fabrications) instead of vinnana in the Theravada tradition. The Buddha actually defined sankharas as six type of vollitions in one sutta (I forgot which one), instead of all mental formations.
To my understanding, the awareness of the Buddha is the unestablished vinnana.
Hope this confusion can be clarified. Metta to all,

The only thing missing with this group is a national title. They are talented enough to finally break on through to the other side.
The regular season ends next Thursday with an 8 p.m. home game against California. Senior Night is always emotional.
The conference tournament opens the following Friday, March 11, and then Stanford returns to Maples Pavilion to host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
The class of 1993 won 88 of its first 98 games, won two national championships and reached the semifinals in-between. That group finished 26-6 in 1993 and lost in the second round to Georgia. Its four-year total was 114-16, a winning percentage of .877.
The class of 1998, which ran into bad luck on the injury front the week before the NCAA tournament that final year, was 93-8 in the first three years with appearances in three straight Final Fours, but no championship appearances.
The seniors were 21-6 in their final season (114-14 overall, .890) but lost in the first round, at home, to Harvard. It's still the only time a 16th seed knocked off a No. 1 seed in men's or women's college basketball.
The 1998 team still holds the school record for field-goal accuracy, hitting .521 percent of their shots over the course of the season.
Pedersen, Pohlen and the other current seniors accumulated a 104-11 mark their first three years. At 128-13 and counting (entering last night's game against Oregon State), these seniors have a chance to become the most accomplished. Should the second-ranked Cardinal (24-2) win out, it would tie the school record for wins in a season (matching last year's total of 36) and punctuate its hold on the Stanford community's imagination.
Pedersen started alongside Candice Wiggins in the 2008 championship game against Tennessee. Pohlen played 11 minutes.
Pohlen joined Pedersen in the starting lineup, alongside Jayne Appel, for the next two trips to the Final Four, both times losing to Connecticut — once in the semifinals and again in the finals last season.
This year's Senior Night can truly be a celebration. With the Pac-10 title likely already in hand, and, with it, the top seed in the upcoming Pac-10 tournament, it might be worth it to reflect on Pedersen's and Pohlen's accomplishments.
Pedersen, Pohlen and Nnemkadi Ogwumike are all on the Naismith Trophy Midseason List, and are also on the State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List, while Ogwumike and Pedersen are on the John R. Wooden Award List.
Pedersen was the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and rose to the level of All-American and Team USA member by the time she was a junior.
No one has played more minutes in a Cardinal uniform than Pedersen. She entered Thursday's action with 4,413 minutes of playing time, 265 minutes longer than Virginia Sourlis' 4,148 minutes through 1986. That's the equivalent of nearly seven extra games.
She's seventh all-time in scoring with 1,821 points and second in rebounds with 1,187.
Pedersen was also named a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, joining a list of nine other senior women's basketball players around the nation. Selected for her achievements and contributions on the court, in the classroom and in the community, Pedersen will attempt to become the second Stanford player to earn the honor, following Wiggins in 2008.
Pohlen was good enough to play in all 39 games as a freshman and has continued to improve to the point where she's part of the conversation as being the best point guard in the nation, a spot she grew into over the years. She's certainly a first team All-American candidate.
Pohlen named to the Nancy Lieberman Award, given annually to the nation's top point guard. She has 515 career assists, sixth on the school's all-time list, just behind former All-Americans Nicole Powell and Jamila Wideman.
Only Wiggins has attempted and made more 3-pointers than Pohlen during a Stanford career and Pohlen has a good shot at the single-season record of 91, set by Krista Rappahahn in 2006 (Wiggins made 90 the same year). Pohlen has 72 on the year, nine fewer than her personal best of 83 two years ago.
What coach Tara VanDerveer started, with Jennifer Azzi in the 1986-87 season, has continued its circular motion with Pedersen and Pohlen. And there's freshman Chiney Ogwumike starting alongside the two seniors, with freshman Toni Kokenis one of the first players off the bench. The more lineups change, the more, well, just call it perpetual talent.

text: My brother and I are both 3.5 players. We signed up for an open tourney this weekend and I thought I'd just pass along the experience. We are solid 3.5, perhaps bordering on 4.0s. We won a 3.5 doubles tournament earlier this year and a dozen years ago we played Div. II college, so we are not without some skill. I played the fourth seed in the first round. He's a 5.0, just out of college and looking to play Futures soon. He beat me 6-2, 7-5. I played a really solid match. I think he got a little complacent and played down. Nevertheless, he turned it on when he needed to. Still we had some great rallies and it was 1 hour, 50 min. match. I got some congrats from friends when I came back to the viewing area for how well I played. My brother on the other hand, should have won his 1st round match. He actually had a match point before going down in three sets. He went on to win a round in the Consi! I got spanked 1 and 1 in my Consi and didn't play well. Yes we were a little out of our league, but my brother won a round and had three matches and I gave a seeded player a bit of a scare in the first round. Point being, if you are a strong 3.5 don't shy away from playing some Opens. It will give you an idea of what you need to work on, and who knows; on a good day maybe you could get an upset. One thing's for sure, you'll go back to 3.5 tournaments with a bit more confidence after banging it with the big boys.

VIDEO: Surprise for family as seal is spotted at flooded Sutton Gault
PUBLISHED: 10:53 06 February 2014 | UPDATED: 10:53 06 February 2014
A seal was spotted taking advantage of the flood waters some 40 miles from the sea at Sutton Gault on Sunday.
Jeanette Biggadike, her husband Brian and son and daughter Adam and Jemma, were enjoying a trip around Sutton Gault on Sunday when the mischievous creature popped up above the water, causing quite a shock.
The family, from Soham, were looking at the flood waters which have submerged large parts of the Gault and surrounding fields when the seal decided to get a closer look at them.
Despite being some 40 miles from The Wash, in Norfolk, where seals leave the sea and enter the river system, the animal seemed perfectly at home, swimming alongside the family for a few minutes before darting off again.
Jeanette said: "We were stood on the bridge looking at the flood water and the next thing we knew a seal popped up. We followed it for a while as it was heading towards Mepal.
"I've not experienced anything quite like it before, certainly not so close up. It just sort of popped up and rolled on its back. It seemed to have a tag on its tail, too.
"We kept on about it four hours because we just couldn't believe what we had seen. It really made our day."
In September last year, narrow boat owner Nick Ford captured images of a seal swimming alongside his boat on the River Great Ouse, near Littleport and, in January last year, a seal was spotted in the Great Ouse near St Ives.

Vitters happy to get game action under way
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
MESA, Ariz. -- Josh Vitters finally got in a game for the first time since Feb. 21, and it didn't take long for him to get tested.
Vitters, 23, sidelined with a sore left quad, subbed in the Cubs' game in Glendale against the Dodgers on Thursday.
"I got to test [my leg] on the first ball I hit, I hit a grounder to shortstop," Vitters said. "It's kind of good that I had a couple ground balls and got to test it out. I didn't push it quite to 100 percent, but I picked it up pretty close."
It's been a frustrating spring for Vitters, the Cubs' No. 1 Draft pick in 2007 and the club's No. 14 prospect. The Cubs project him to start at Triple-A Iowa this season, but Vitters wanted to show he was better than the .121 he put together in 36 games with the big league team at the end of last season.
"I learned that the big leagues is hard, it's hard for a reason," Vitters said of his experience last year. "Obviously, the competition is really good and it's something you have to learn how to mentally prepare for and physically prepare for, and that's what I did over the offseason. Going into this year, I feel a lot more confident than I did last season."
Vitters hit .304 at Iowa last year before he was called up Aug. 5. He was frustrated when he was sidelined after the first intrasquad game this spring.
"It's terrible, it's awful, it really is," he said. "I had to work through it, and I'm just happy to be here every day, and really happy to be back on the field now."
Vitters started at third base for the Cubs in Friday's exhibition game against Team Japan.
Baez predicted walk-off homer vs. Japan
MESA, Ariz. -- As Javier Baez was headed to the plate in the ninth inning Friday with the Cubs tied at 5 against Team Japan, he told Welington Castillo, who was on deck, to relax.
"I said, 'You're not hitting,'" Baez said.
Castillo didn't have to. Baez hit a walk-off two-run homer, his second blast of the game, to lift the split-squad Cubs to a 7-5 victory over Japan in an exhibition game in front of 2,915 at HoHoKam Stadium.
Baez also hit a solo shot in the seventh, which closed the gap to 5-4, and the Cubs tied the game in the eighth on Dan Vogelbach's RBI single.
The Japanese team may have been a little jet-lagged. They arrived in Arizona late Tuesday, and played the Giants on Thursday. The next stop is San Francisco for the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic.
"It was a real baseball game -- it wasn't really a Spring Training baseball game," Cubs bench coach Jamie Quirk said of the close contest.
Baez, the Cubs' No. 1 Draft pick in 2011 and the club's No. 1 prospect, said the last walk-off home run he could remember came in high school.
"[The first homer,] I was just sitting on a fastball, and he threw me two, and I missed them, and then he threw me a fastball inside," Baez said. "I was patient at the plate. [In the ninth], with a man on second, I knew he'd throw a slider or a curveball, and he threw me a slider and I hit it hard and hit it over the fence."
This was Baez's third spring home run, although the statistics from the exhibition game won't count in the Cactus League stats.
Stewart feels 'really good' after Minors scrimmage
MESA, Ariz. -- It was only a Minor League game, and Ian Stewart didn't play in the field, but he couldn't believe how good he felt at the plate. That could be great news for the Cubs.
Stewart got his first in-game at-bats since Feb. 21 when he led off every inning Thursday for both teams in a Minor League game at Fitch Park.
"By my count, I was 2-for-5, maybe 1-for-5," he said. "I maybe gave myself one [hit]."
That didn't matter. What did was that Stewart's wrist passed all tests. He was limited to 55 games last season before undergoing surgery on his left wrist. He spent the offseason rehabbing and hitting with Hall of Famer Rod Carew, and this spring, Stewart doubled in his first at-bat in an intrasquad game on Feb. 21. But he felt tightness in his left quad as he ran to first, and had not played since.
If he's healthy and can provide the Cubs with the offense he put together in 2009 with the Rockies, they could have a 20-plus home run hitter who can drive in 70 RBIs.
"I still think I will be [that guy], and I think I will be this year," Stewart said. "It's just been such a relief for me knowing that the surgery that I had worked and I have no lingering issues in my wrist, and my bat speed feels back.
"The toughest part for me last year was I could hit [batting practice] all day because they were throwing it down the middle and you could control everything," he said. "Once the game came, and pitches were moving and breaking, and I just couldn't adjust because the wrist was holding me back. Now there's none of that.
"My confidence is really sky high right now, as far as my hitting and everything goes. I was really surprised at how I was able to feel in the box [Thursday] and tracking pitches and some swings I put on the baseball."
Stewart felt some soreness in his leg on Friday, and the next step will be another Minor League game. He still hasn't run full speed.
"I had a couple ground-ball outs and I wanted to make sure I didn't have a setback or reinjure it," he said. "I took my time to get down the line. I've been saying the running part is the last hurdle for me."
The Cubs signed Stewart to a $2 million non-guaranteed contract, but the only other option at third base is Luis Valbuena, who batted .219 last season. Valbuena did bat .306 in Venezuela in winter ball. Stewart said he feels he has enough time to prepare for the regular season.
"There's 17, 16 days until Opening Day," he said. "Typically, that's not what you want, but I think you can make the most of it by being able to go down to the Minor League games and get eight at-bats. It definitely helps just to see actual live pitching, to see some break on some balls and some spin and some speed of the pitches as well. It's very useful, and I'm just going to have to do that if I want to be ready for the season."
The best news for Stewart and the Cubs is how good he felt in the batter's box.
"I was a little nervous, actually, going down there," Stewart said. "My timing felt great, I felt like I was taking good pitches that were close, laying off some breaking balls and some changeups that were in the dirt, and it just felt really good. It was nice to square a couple balls up knowing I hadn't faced any live pitching since that scrimmage."
Prospect Almora to miss three to four weeks
MESA, Ariz. -- Albert Almora, the Cubs' No. 1 Draft pick in 2012, broke the hamate bone in his left hand during a swing Thursday in a game at the Minor League camp, and he is expected to be out until mid May.
The injury was not believed to be a serious, and Cubs officials said Almora, the Cubs' No. 2 prospect, will have the bone removed. He was expected to resume baseball activities in three to four weeks.
"It's not a career problem, more a pain-in-the-butt-type thing that happens to quite a few hitters over the history of the game," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's a little bone that doesn't mean anything, that you don't need, [and it won't] cost him eight weeks before he gets in a game.
"The good thing is it's one of those things you take out and are done with it," Sveum said. "If you leave it in and have surgery, then [you] possibly [miss] the whole season. It's a nice injury to be done with."
The outfielder batted .321 last season for the Cubs' Arizona Rookie League and Class A Boise teams.
Extra bases
• Cubs outfielder Brett Jackson was scratched from Friday's lineup against Team Japan because of lingering soreness in his right shoulder. His status was day to day. Jackson, projected to open at Iowa, was batting .313 in 13 games this spring.
"It's a little more than that [tightness, stiffness] to take himself out of the lineup," Sveum said. "It doesn't bother him hitting, just pinches when he throws."
• Starling Peralta, who was selected by the Diamondbacks in the Rule 5 Draft, was returned to the Cubs on Friday. Peralta was 5-8 with a 3.44 ERA in 20 games (17 starts) last season for Class A Peoria, striking out 86 over 99 1/3 innings. That included a 14-strikeout game Aug. 7 against Clinton.
• Anthony Rizzo, who was playing for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic, was expected to rejoin the Cubs in time to play Saturday when the team faces the Royals at HoHoKam Stadium in Mesa. Rizzo and Italy were eliminated Wednesday in Miami by the Dominican Republic.

Anton/Bauer®, a brand of The Vitec Group, and the world's premier provider of batteries, chargers, lighting and other mobile power systems for the professional broadcast, video and film industries, will introduce an exciting new addition to its innovative DIONIC® HC battery line at NAB 2010 (Booth C6025).
The company, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, will also showcase its full product line, with special NAB debuts of the Tandem® 150 Modular Power System and its new ULHM-LED® and EledZ® LED light solutions.
A highlight of the show for Anton/Bauer will include the unveiling of an advanced new 120 watt-hour battery with a 10 amp draw for even longer run times. With last year's successful launch of the DIONIC HC 91 watt-hour battery, Anton/Bauer is pleased to continue its expansion of the DIONIC HC series. With unique new features for maximum power-saving, this battery can be stored for years with nearly zero capacity loss.
Making its NAB debut, the Tandem 150 Modular Power System brings users more power supply options during on-location or outdoor shoots. Weighing just two and a half pounds, the Tandem 150 unit is the smallest and lightest charger and on-camera power supply available on the market. This fully automatic system functions by separating the Gold Mount® device (QR-TM) from the power supply (PSU-150), allowing a user to simultaneously charge a battery and power a camera. When a 75 watt draw is exceeded, the system automatically stops charging and performs solely as a 150 watt power supply. When the camera is turned off or the load is reduced below 75 watts, the Tandem 150 system instantly resumes normal operation, as a simultaneous charger/power supply. Users can operate the system from the AC Mains at 100 to 240 volts AC or 50-60 Hz.
The Tandem 150 system also provides ultimate flexibility for shoots in isolated areas, with two unique methods of charging. For productions where sunlight is available, crews can charge the system using the award-winning Anton/Bauer Solar Panel, previously introduced at NAB 2009. An important component of the Tandem 150 system, the Solar Panel allows users dealing with remote location video capture to charge any battery in the Anton/Bauer product line when sunlight is available. Crews working out of their cars during a night shoot, in an isolated location, or in an area where power is not immediately accessible have yet another simple option for all charging needs - a car's dependable vehicle power outlet.
Anton/Bauer's EledZ and ULHM-LED lights will also be appearing at this year's NAB show. Developed by Anton/Bauer with sister Vitec group brand, Litepanels, these LED light modules complement Anton/Bauer's existing UltraLight® Series and ElipZ® battery systems. Both lights are designed to maximize HD camera battery run time by successfully cutting down the total power consumption of a user's lights. A 3200k filter is included with each light, allowing for quick changes to properly match color temperatures. The LEDs provide heat free and flicker free soft light of 5600K, ideal for many applications while consuming very little battery power.
For more information on additional products Anton/Bauer will showcase at NAB 2010, please visit http://www.antonbauer.com.

Nice K1 rig!
I took my old rig for a 1,600 mile loop in June. My wife and I rode two-up on the tug, our dog and camping gear in the 'car. Here's a pic in Stanley, Idaho. I can't thank Murph (Murph's BMW, Eugene, Oregon) enough for tuning up my carbs and giving my rig a safety check at the Chief Joseph Rally along the way (who needs axle pinch bolts anyway!). Thanks to him we had a safe, trouble-free trip w/ the R100S!

LMAO....who else thinks we need some cool alternate jerseys
LMAO....who else thinks we need some cool alternate jerseys
The Knicks were better the few years Marbury was used right...his first year and 2007. Those other years, the knicks had so many problems a prime Magic Johnson would have been asking to be be traded. There was very little stability within the knicks organization, Larry Brown was just as bad of a fit as Antoni. This team though, its just embarrasssing to have 2 "star players" and a good center like Tyson Chandler, and still have a losing record. It wasnt as embarrassing before because we had Eddy Curry and jamal Crawford.
More reason's D'antoni needs to be gone now:
His rotation sucks.
He plays the Giraffe almost 30 mintues a game.
He never plays our bench players that CAN shoot.
He only runs one play a game on offense.
He doesn't care if his team chucks up covered 3's with 20 seconds on the shot clock.
He doesn't call timeouts until opponents already destroyed our confidence.
He doesn't motivate his guys to play better when opposing team is on a run.
He doesn't challenge bullsh*t calls or work the refs unless we're up by 20+.
He calls his substitutions the SAME exact way EVERY game at the SAME exact time regardless of situation.
UGH, I can go on all day. This is just sh*t from tonight.
Another game with 20+ turnovers. Another night under .200 from downtown (3-19 last i saw). Again, we are top 3 team in 3 point attempts, yet we're in bottom 5 in 3-point makes. When do we stop shooting them?
You look at the boxscore for the game and you see STAT with 19 points and 14 boards and you think. Wow he must have been great...EEEEEHH FAIL!!!
They're great in other systems but that doesn't matter right? None of our players have EVER played in this system, heck Dumbtoni doesn't even know what his system is. It's like glorified streetball. That doesn't work in the NBA, stop blaming the players for not executing in a broken system.

Study Examines Pregnancy Loss, 'Treg' Cell Relationship
- Jun 19, 2013
- Topics:
The team found that 17 (16%) of the study mares lost their embryos prior to Day 40, Aurich said, and the average Treg level in these mares' bloodstreams was significantly lower than that of the mares who delivered live foals.

Some veterinarians hypothesize that overactive immune responses in mares can cause early pregnancy loss, and new research results show that a reduction in a certain kind of immune system cell could be a red flag for diagnosing equine miscarriage.
"Irrespective of the age of the mare, the majority of conceptus losses occurs in early pregnancy (until Day 35 after ovulation)," said Christine Aurich DVM, PhD, professor at the Graf Lehndorff Institute in Neustadt, Germany, and at the University of Veterinary Sciences in Vienna, Austria. "Morphologic defects, inadequate embryonic growth, or an inappropriate embryonic signal are suggested to cause failure of maternal recognition of pregnancy in the horse. However, early pregnancy loss often occurs repeatedly in the same mare, and it seemed worthwhile to look into immunological causes."
In horses, as in all mammals, an implanting embryo carrying paternal cells is a foreign intruder in the uterus. However, pregnancy usually sets of a series of immune-related events that block the immune system from rejecting the embryo. Scientists have found one particular kind of lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell that pays a central role in directing and coordinating immune response), called "T Regulatory" (or "Treg") cells, to be particularly helpful in allowing mammal mothers to tolerate their embryos instead of destroying them. So Aurich and her research team set out to investigate how Treg cells relate to the success or failure of equine pregnancies.
In their study the researchers tested 108 broodmares' Treg levels just before pregnancy. The team checked the mares' pregnancy status via ultrasound on Day 40 to determine which animals experienced early pregnancy loss. Pregnancy loss after 40 days in horses is not considered "early" and is not assumed to be related to the mare's intolerance of her embryo, Aurich said.
Upon reviewing their data, the team found that 17 (16%) of the study mares lost their embryos prior to Day 40, Aurich said, and the average Treg level in these mares' bloodstreams was significantly lower than that of the mares who delivered live foals. Furthermore, 91% of mares that experienced early pregnancy loss had suffered early pregnancy loss in the past. This suggests a problem with the mare and not with the embryo, Aurich said.
The Treg levels were not so different that they could have predicted pregnancy loss, Aurich added, and there were some mares with particularly low Treg levels who did carry to term. Still, a Treg count could help diagnose the reason for an early pregnancy loss, which could help the breeder prepare for future breeding seasons. Currently there is no approved treatment for increasing Treg count in broodmares, Aurich said. However, her team is working on a study that measures Treg levels at different stages of healthy equine pregnancies, which could help veterinarians understand how to manage low Treg levels.
In the meantime, supplementing problem mares with progesterone can be beneficial. "At present the treatment of choice is the application of the progestin altrenogest to mares," said Aurich. "This treatment has to be started as early as Day 5 after ovulation. In two recent studies we could prove that this treatment enhances endometrial receptivity. In the light of the Treg study, it can be speculated that the progestin treatment also alters maternal tolerance."
The study, "Low levels of naturally occurring regulatory T-lymphocytes in blood of mares with early pregnancy loss," has been accepted for publication in Reproduction, Fertility and Development.

For folks building balacing robots like Dave Anderson's marvelous nBot or Larry Barello's gyrobot, I've written an extensively commented Kalman Filter that uses a dual axis accelerometer and a single axis angular rate gyro to accurately determine tilt angle, angular rate and gyro bias. The filter is able to be tuned for different amounts of noise in the sensors and to place varying trust in the different sensors. It also automatically tracks the gyro bias by comparing the covariance of the state estimate with the state measurement.

Checks 'won't tackle unfit doctors'
Checks aimed at identifying poor-performing doctors will do nothing to help find or stop them, according to a poll of more than 5,600 doctors.
More than 80% of hospital doctors and 67% of GPs also pointed to variations in care, saying there are certain doctors they would not want to treat their friends and family.
The survey, by doctors.net.uk as an exclusive for the Press Association, was carried out among more than 4,600 hospital doctors and a further 1,000 GPs.
It was released ahead of the anniversary on Monday of serial killer Harold Shipman's death.
Doctors were asked whether revalidation - the process of appraising doctors - would help identify and deal with those who are unfit to practise. Some 53% of hospitals disagreed it would (33% disagreed and a further 20% strongly disagreed).
Meanwhile, 22% agreed revalidation would help identify and tackle problem doctors, while the rest neither agreed or disagreed or did not know.
Among GPs, 60% disagreed that the plans for revalidation would help to identify and deal with doctors who are not fit to practise (32% disagreed and a further 28% strongly disagreed) while only 16% agreed (15% agreed and a further 1% strongly agreed).
Some 86% of hospital doctors also agreed there are variations in care and that "there are certain doctors that I would not want to treat friends and family".
Of the 86%, 52% agreed and a further 34% strongly agreed. Just 3% disagreed while the rest did not know or neither agreed or disagreed.
The results were similar according to the seniority of the doctor, with 86% of hospital consultants agreeing with the statement compared to 84% of junior doctors.
Among GPs, 67% agreed there are variations and certain doctors they would not want to treat friends and family (50% agreed and a further 17% strongly agreed) while 6% disagreed (including 1% who strongly disagreed).
When asked whether "plans for revalidation will help me maintain a good standard of practice", 33% of hospital doctors agreed they would (30% agreed and a further 3% strongly agreed). Meanwhile, 32% disagreed and a further 23% strongly disagreed. The rest neither disagreed or agreed, or said they did not know.
Among GPs, 46% did not think revalidation would help them maintain a good standard of practice, while only 28% agreed it would.
When quizzed on whether they thought the benefits of revalidation would outweigh the administrative time required for the process, 38% of hospital doctors disagreed they would, while 18% agreed. The rest did not not know or had no opinion either way.
Among GPs, 63% disagreed while 15% agreed.
Dr Tim Ringrose, chief executive of doctors.net.uk, said: "GPs and hospital doctors seek to uphold the highest possible standards in care, and their willingness to be totally frank about variations in quality demonstrates how keen they are to see continual monitoring and improvement.
"However, while revalidation should help to address such concerns, there is widespread scepticism about its effectiveness.
"Many hard-pressed doctors view it as yet another administrative burden. They do not see it as a safety net for identifying any doctors who are not fit to practise or as a benchmark for ensuring that all patients receive the highest possible levels of care and treatment."
Shipman, who was 57 when he died, was jailed for life in January 2000 for murdering 15 patients while working in Hyde, Greater Manchester, and was found hanging in his cell in Wakefield Prison in 2004.
An official report later concluded he killed between 215 and 260 people over a 23-year period.
Shipman's conviction led to intense scrutiny regarding the professional regulation of doctors. A new system of revalidation is now being implemented across the NHS.
Revalidation will require doctors to demonstrate on a regular basis - usually every five years - that they are up to date and fit to practise. Revalidation started in December 2012. The majority of licensed doctors are expected to be revalidated by March 2016.
Licensed doctors will have to revalidate by having regular appraisals with their employer based on core guidance for doctors published by the General Medical Council (GMC).
Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA), said: "The revalidation system was never designed to catch criminals like Harold Shipman and its introduction was talked about well before his heinous crimes were revealed.
"Instead, revalidation is intended to encourage lifelong learning amongst doctors and lead to a culture of positive professional improvement throughout a medical career.
"Many doctors have been frustrated by the implementation because heavy workload and financial pressures in the NHS leave little time and space for the reflection and quality improvement that revalidation promised.
"The vast majority of doctors in the UK provide excellent clinical care to the millions of patients who are treated by the NHS each year.
"It is the duty of all doctors to be vigilant regarding the standards of healthcare delivered by other professionals in the health service, but we do need to ensure the NHS encourages an open, transparent culture where doctors feel supported and empowered to raise concerns, and ramifications are listened to."
Health minister Dan Poulter said: "Historically, doctors' appraisals in the NHS have been patchy and inconsistent.
"This poll shows that doctors themselves think there are variations in the quality of care and that is why the new system of medical revalidation is so important.
"The UK is leading the world on this - we are the first country to introduce such a rigorous system to regularly make sure doctors are keeping up to date with medical knowledge and skills.
"We are also toughening up checks when hospitals use locum doctors, so patients can be confident in the safety and quality of their care."
Niall Dickson, the GMC's chief executive and registrar, said: "These are very early days of a new system for making sure every doctor in the UK is subject to an annual check and is able to demonstrate that they are practising safely.
"Of course, it can never spot every instance of poor practice, but over time we are confident it will make a difference.
"So far only 12% of doctors have had their licence revalidated by the GMC, yet we know the process has already had a positive impact.
"Employers are taking their responsibilities for ensuring the quality of medical practice more seriously, and we have seen a significant increase in appraisal rates for both hospital doctors and GPs across the country.
"In the last year we have had face-to-face meetings with more than 5,000 doctors to talk specifically about revalidation and to hear first-hand about their experiences - these encounters have been largely positive, although inevitably there will also be some anxiety among some individuals.
"This is not a panacea, but a contribution to patient safety and we will develop the model over time."

After finding out that the 07 R1200 series bikes will require an oil change at 600 miles, I decided to change my 05 "permanent" oil now, at 20K miles, just in case.
Here are the steps:
1. Remove the fender (GS models only).
2. Remove the rear wheel.
3. Unbolt the Brake Caliper and hang it with some wire to the frame.
4. Remove the rear speed sensor, both screws and the clip, and hang it with the brake caliper.
5. Remove oil drain plug, and drain off the oil.
6. Release the paralink at the rear and support the final drive with a strap (it's now flopped down, with the fill plug at the bottom) I didn't do this; I just held it in place for a couple minutes. The drive shaft comes out easily, but you may need to push it down a bit to get it to relaese.
7. Clean the drive shaft and FD input shaft, then add Moly 60, or equivalent lube, to the shaft and splines.

Weary Dodgers get break from routine
Players report later on Tuesday after tough 24-hour stretch
By David Ely / MLB.com
Players got to report to the clubhouse by 4:45 p.m. PT -- about an hour later than usual -- and batting practice also was a little later than normal.
"We had planned this the other day," manager Joe Torre said. "The first day we wanted to get them out of bed because it's so tempting to sleep in that first day. And then we just figured we'd give them the blow the second day."
Torre said the Dodgers did not land in Los Angeles until about 3 a.m. Monday after the club's 9-1 win over the Braves on Sunday.
While it could have been easy to blame the Dodgers' sluggish start to Monday's game against the Brewers that resulted in a 6-5 loss, Torre and outfielder Matt Kemp said after the game that fatigue was not a factor in the outcome.
Even if the Dodgers say that they aren't tired, the current schedule isn't set up to keep a them fresh.
Tuesday's game marked the 12th of 20 consecutive games for the Dodgers. The club's next day off is Aug. 13.
The Dodgers enter Tuesday's game 4-7 over that span and have lost six of their past nine games, but Torre doesn't feel his team is worn out by the schedule.
"No, I don't. It's what we do for a living," Torre said. "It's like September ... you're really tired, but only the teams that are out of the race are really tired. It's really a mental thing at this point in time and I don't sense any of that and I really don't look for it, to be honest with you."

What is wrong with beef trimmings?
If you are going to kill an animal to eat it, you should be willing to eat it all.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
When I was a kid, my brady bunch family was pretty poor so we bought beef by the 'side' (aka half a cow) with all the trimmings and organs and such. I just THOUGHT liver was bad... until it was kidneys day. Oh man.
(heart and tongue were pretty ok. Tripe and brains, no)
As for pink slime, the shit ain't right.

It is just ground up beef trimmings, no? Just as safe as the rest of the beef.

It's beef trimmings that have been treated with ammonia gas to kill pathogens. The beef industry says it's safe, but I think many people are concerned that the treatment is not effective.
Plus, how much per pound to you think ammonia gas treated ground up cartilage should go for?
Me, I don't touch the stuff.
The ammonia spray doesn't sound appealing.

Is pink slime safe?
It does not appear that anything is in pink slime except what was in the meat of the animal to begin with....it is simply an additional refinement step so they can use something they would otherwise throw away. I see no reason to think this would have any effect on safety (unless adding some fat is considered a safety issue).
It kinda appears to me to be an issue created by someone because they wanted to create an issue. "Pink slime" is not an official name for the stuff, but a deliberately deragatory one created by the whistleblower themselves.
I do not know all the details, but I would guess the FDA's decision on whether or not to let it be included in hamburger had more to do with accurate labeling of the packaging and consistent expactations of the product, and less or nothing to do with safety. But I don't know all the info.
If you eat hamburger, you're already eating material one step above what goes into hot dogs (but hey, I'll eat both). Unless you buy the super pricey stuff, they're not grinding up good steaks to throw in there.

Ultraprocessing is not pretty in the food industry. In Trent's kitchen, it is cool.
What I don't like about the industry's push to get approval for irradiating meat and other products to make them "safer" is that it just allows them to get away with providing dirtier food. More fecal and vermin material in the food. I guess ammonia has a similar advantage to the industry.

They clarified it's gaseous.
Probably 70-80% of the meat I eat I killed and processed in my own kitchen. So I know exactly how it was handled and processed. Perhaps I leave the pink slime in and don't know it?

I would feel a lot more comfortable eating the meat you process than what I get in the supermarket. The deer and elk we used to eat had a natural and varied diet and didn't get force fed products that include processed brains and livers from their own kind.

I grew up raising cattle. Neither we nor anyone else I know fed cattle materials originating from cattle. I'm pretty sure that is illegal since the mad cow scare; I am positive it is illegal in Europe. Our cattle were fed hay and corn silage, nothing nefarious. I don't ever recall forcing cattle to eat anything either. Like people on the couch with a bad of potato chips, put a cow in front of food and it will pretty much eat as much as it can.
Farming, in general, is subjected to a lot of misinformation and downright urban legends created by people who don't have any experience with it. I especially liked the recent bit about PETA or whomever stopping McDonalds from buying from pork producers who keep sows in restrictive crates. Apparently they are unaware that while a mother pig becomes very protective of her piglets after about a week, before that she has no issues with lying down on them and squashing them alive. If there are other pigs around they will eat the piglets. Raising pigs without crates seems awfully cruel to me, having actually participated in the process. There was nothing worse than not getting a sow into a crate before she delivered and having to go into the pen and clean up the carnage.
I'm not sure what you are looking for in a "varied" diet...beef you buy from cattle out West are termed "grassfed" and that really is all they eat. Seems like every square inch of Montana (game refuges and all) is pastured. Just once I'd like to hunt elk where I don't have to worry about stepping in cow pies.
The elk out west probably eat a bit greater variation in vegetation than the cattle but not much. The deer in the midwest eat EXACTLY what the cattle do, corn, hay and soybeans. I know because they cost us thousands of dollars per year and eat anything withing 30 yards of a woodline down to the dirt. Deer/elk and produce a naturally leaner meat (they don't marble), but there is nothing natural about the amount of fat on a deer in the Grain Belt...way more than the species is supposed to have. Of course since I control what goes in the meat grinder I trim off as much fat as I can and throw it away.
The most nefarious product I can remember feeding cattle is Lucky Charms. Our cousins used to get the seconds of the marshmallows by the semi trailer full and they'd feed them to the cattle.

ORLANDO, Fla. - American Apparel apologized Thursday night after posting an edited picture of the space shuttle Challenger explosion on social media and tagging it as clouds.
The photo was shared on the clothing company's Tumblr page late Thursday afternoon. Angry followers criticized the company almost immediately, calling for it to pull down the photo.
"This is the iconic image of the Challenger space shuttle exploding, not just some cool smoke and clouds," wrote Amy Vernon.
"Absolutely disgusting," wrote Brad Donald.
After going viral on Twitter, American Apparel took down the photo 45 minutes later.
In a statement to Local 6, American Apparel said:
"A young social media employee who was born after the Challenger tragedy unfortunately re-blogged a photograph of the explosion on our Tumblr account unaware of the context. We deeply apologize for the insensitivity of that selection and the post has been deleted."

Pigeon Fever in Horses: Manifestations and Complications
- Jul 12, 2011
- Topics:
Though it has many aliases--including pigeon fever, dryland distemper, and false strangles--and can look gruesome on the surface, a normal Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection is relatively easy to treat. Treating an infection that's developed complications, however, is a more challenging task for veterinarians. At the 2011 American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Forum, held June 15-18 in Denver, Colo., Lutz Goehring, DVM, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, assistant professor of equine medicine at Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, presented on common complications associated with pigeon fever.
Traditionally pigeon fever has been most common in the western United States, but has slowly spread east over the years. An affected horse generally forms external abscesses, particularly in the pectoral area (hence, the name pigeon fever), around the head, and in the udder or sheath areas.
Goehring explained that pigeon fever is typically contracted through skin abrasions or contact with contaminated soil. Insect vectors--such as horn or stable flies--are also common means of passing infection.
Goehring stated that when diagnosing C. pseudotuberculosis infections, veterinarians first try to localize the location of the abscess (if not visible on the horse's body) using a variety of procedures including rectal exam, abdominal tap, auscultation (listening with a stethoscope) of heart and lungs, abdominal or thoracic (chest) ultrasound and/or radiology, needle aspirate with culture and cytology, blood cultures, and specific laboratory and titer testing. Additionally, it's important to rule out other diseases that pose a similar clinical picture and blood profiles, such as Streptococcus equi, equine infectious anemia, lymphoma, or even a foreign body abscess.
In the majority of pigeon fever cases (about 90%), abscesses form externally and fill with a purulent (pus) material. Treatment is relatively easy: Lance and drain the abscess, and practice good hygiene to avoid further infection. Goehring noted that veterinarians and owners should pay special attention to the disposal of the waste material to limit the risk of infecting other horses on a property (the bacterium is very hardy and can survive in soil).
"Use of antimicrobials in the external abscess cases is discouraged," Goehring explained, although veterinarians sometimes administer low doses of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs phenylbutazone (Bute) or flunixin meglumine (Banamine) if the patient appears to be in severe pain.
As with most equine ailments, complications aren't unheard of in horses with C. pseudotuberculosis infections, occurring about 10% of the time; common complications veterinarians encounter include internal abscesses, ulcerative lymphangitis (sometimes referred to as elephant leg), weight loss, poor appetite, fever, and ill thrift. A physical exam and blood work will often reveal typical signs of chronic active inflammation, including anemia, elevated fibrinogen levels, increased total protein attributable to elevated globulin, and high white blood cell counts (all of which point to chronic inflammation or infection). Although the liver generally isn't directly affected, Goehring noted that it's not uncommon to see moderate elevated liver enzymes with this disease.
Researchers have reported that horses with internal abscesses and ulcerative lymphangitis--which are commonly treated in the same manner as external abscesses--don't typically respond as well to treatment as these infections are often chronic in nature.
Goehring noted that only in complicated cases should veterinarians use antimicrobials to treat internal abscesses. The intracellular presence of this bacteria and thick abscess walls limit antibiotic penetration, so their usefulness is often a point of contention. When possible, veterinarians often turn to drainage or surgical removal of an internal abscess to improve antibiotic effect.
There are several drugs proven effective in treating C. pseudotuberculosis infection including doxycyline combined with rifampin. Goehring noted that these medications are generally administered until achieving a normal complete blood and fibrinogen count, or until complete resolution of the illness; however, each veterinarian will determine the best course of action for each individual case of pigeon fever.

Pena's homer lifted frustrated Tribe
Extra-innings homer gave Indians the '95 Division Series
By David Briggs / MLB.com
In a game for the ages, one that would not end until past two in the morning, the most improbable of players had lifted the Indians to their first playoff victory in 47 years.
Tony Pena's home run in the 13th inning against the Red Sox in Game 1 of the 1995 Division Series had given America's most frustrated sports town cause to rejoice.
So as Giants slugger Barry Bonds has now broken the game's most hallowed home run record, we look back at Pena's historic drive, the most memorable homer in the Indians' 107-year history.
It was a home run that transcended a single game and encapsulated the magic of an entire year, a 100-win season in which 27 victories came in the Indians' last at-bat.
"When you talk about that year, everybody talks about the magic of Jacobs Field," said Tribe radio voice Tom Hamilton, who called the Oct. 3 game. "With that home run, to me it kind of established the fact that even though it was postseason, things were no different."
Sure, there have been several momentous shots in Cleveland's history. Frank Robinson's 1975 home run in his debut as baseball's first black manager, Sandy Alomar Jr.'s game-tying drive in Game 4 of the 1997 Division Series against Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, and even Carlos Martinez's homer off the head of Rangers right fielder Jose Canseco in 1993 should all come to mind.
But none, when viewed in context, meant nearly as much as Pena's.
This one came in the Tribe's first playoff game since 1954 and in the year of Cleveland's baseball renaissance.
And amid the drama of one of history's wilder playoff games.
As the Plain Dealer's Paul Hoynes wrote, "It took the Indians 41 years to get back to postseason baseball. If it takes another 41 years, they will never play another game like they did Tuesday night and yesterday morning."
There were a pair of rain delays, multiple lead changes, a corked bat controversy -- Red Sox manager Kevin Kennedy wrongly accused Albert Belle of using a corked bat to hit his game-tying homer in the 11th -- and then, of course, Pena's emergence as the morning's star.
American League
Five hours and one minute after starter Dennis Martinez delivered the first pitch, here was Pena, a lifetime .260 hitter whom Boston had discarded just two years earlier after the reserve catcher hit just .190, facing Zane Davis with two outs, a 3-0 count and nobody on in the 13th.
Surely, he was looking for a walk, looking to extend the inning for leadoff man Kenny Lofton.
"Everybody thought he was taking a pitch to get things going," shortstop Omar Vizquel said.
And in fact, third-base coach Jeff Newman even had the take sign on.
Pena would later claim he never saw the sign. But more likely, the reserve catcher knew the suspense had carried on for too long.
"It felt like we played 47 years," manager Mike Hargrove later said.
So what the heck? He swung.
And in his career's finest hour, Pena drove Smith's belt-high fastball into the left-field bleachers.
The Indians were playoff winners once again.
A jubilant Pena, his arms raised in triumph, wore a brilliant smile for the entire 360-foot jog.
"When it happens, you just have to enjoy the moment because you never know if it's going to happen again," Pena told reporters that morning.
Now as for ignoring the take sign, he may never live that one down.
"Now my players ask me, 'Do we get to swing if you give the take sign?'" Pena joked a few years ago. "I tell them, 'If you get the take sign, and you swing, you'd better hit a home run.'"

If you were to put your foot down and argue that Thanksgiving is the best of all holidays, I would have a hard time proving you wrong. What's not to like? A day off work, carte blanche to stuff your face, quality time with family (though, granted, that last one might be a negative for some).
Oh yea, and football. All day.
This year's Thanksgiving Day slate (Houston at Detroit, Washington at Dallas, New England at the Jets) has the potential to be thoroughly entertaining -- and all three games are on network TV, a bonus for those without the NFL Network.
The playoff implications are heavy on Sunday and Monday, as well, a mixture of teams trying to put away division titles and those clinging to life in the race.
Which teams are most in need of a victory? We take a look in this special, Thanksgiving-themed version of the Must-Win Watch:
• Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4, at Cleveland); Indianapolis Colts (6-4, vs. Buffalo): The Steelers and Colts find themselves in the same boat -- or, at least, matching boats headed in the same direction. They both lost last week, Pittsburgh to Baltimore and Indianapolis to New England, meaning that a division title might be a pipe dream.
However, the Steelers and Colts still hold two-game edges on the rest of the field in the AFC wild-card race. Pittsburgh might be in a tougher spot Sunday, on the road with its third-string QB (Charlie Batch) against a scrappy Cleveland team. Losing is not ideal, for the Steelers or the Colts, but the fallout of such an outcome would not be devastating. Holiday desperation level: "Guess I'll have to go back for seconds, I ran out of room on my plate."
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4, vs. Atlanta): Four straight wins has Tampa Bay in the heart of playoff contention, but a trying finish awaits (at Denver, Philadelphia, at New Orleans, St. Louis, at Atlanta). Still, the fact that the Buccaneers have two games left with the Falcons -- who lead them by three games in the NFC South -- means that the division remains up for grabs, at least for the moment.
Even if the division slips away, it's imperative for the Bucs that they hold serve at home over the final six weeks. Holiday desperation level: "We only have pumpkin and apple pies. The store was out of cherry."
• Minnesota Vikings (6-4, at Chicago): The Bears could use a win, too, following back-to-back losses. And these two teams meet again in two weeks, in Minnesota.
The Bears, though, still have a 7-3 record; Minnesota sits a game behind them and the Packers in the NFC North, right on the edge of the wild-card race. With two games left against Green Bay plus those two against Chicago, the Vikings control their destiny -- but only if they get the job done Sunday. Holiday desperation level: "You'll have to sit at the kids' table, there isn't any room left at the adults' table."
• New Orleans Saints (5-5, vs. San Francisco): Kudos to the Saints for leaving that 0-4 start behind them to get back to .500. Their real challenge begins now.
The Saints close with this: San Francisco, at Atlanta, at the Giants, Tampa Bay, at Dallas, Carolina. Are there four or five wins in there, which would give New Orleans a shot at the playoffs? Holiday desperation level: "Shoot, we forgot the crispy onions for the top of the green bean casserole."
• Cincinnati Bengals (5-5, vs. Oakland): Two straight impressive performances in blowout wins over the Giants and Chiefs brought the Bengals back to life. They should stretch their run to three Sunday against the crumbling Raiders. A loss would stand as a major setback, what with road trips to San Diego, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh looming, plus home games against Dallas and Baltimore. Holiday desperation level: "We couldn't find fresh cranberries, so we grabbed a can of cranberry sauce."
• Washington Redskins (4-6, at Cowboys): Two of the road teams Thursday, Houston and New England, sit cozily atop their divisions -- the Texans living in such luxury that they can be the first team to clinch a playoff spot, with some substantial help this week.
The third team leaving home on Thanksgiving, Washington, is not living life so easily. The Redskins did stay in the hunt with a clutch win over Philadelphia last week and could climb into second place in the East with an upset victory in Dallas. Given that they host the Giants in Week 13, that would set the table for some excitement in the nation's capital.
The NFC East winner might finish 9-7 -- that's the record the Giants won the division with in 2011. First thing's first for the Redskins, though. Can they get a win in Texas? Holiday desperation level: "Beer's tapped, but there are some wine coolers in the garage."
• Thanksgiving Day home teams (Detroit, Jets, Dallas): The situation is less dire for the Cowboys (5-5, one game back in the NFC East) than it is for the Lions and Jets (both 4-6). Both of those teams face three-game climbs in their respective divisions -- Detroit sits in last in the NFC North; the Jets technically in last, too, tied with Buffalo and Miami for second.
Dallas still has another game with its holiday foe, Washington. But having already completed their season series with the first-place Giants, the Cowboys have very little room for error.
As mentioned above, it is very possible that at least one 9-7 team sneaks into the playoffs, but the Lions and Jets have to approach Thursday -- and every game beyond -- as a do-or-die situation. A Jets win also would leave the door ever-so-slightly cracked in the AFC East. A loss and ... well, there won't be much left to play for but pride. Holiday desperation level: "Oh no! We're out of stuffing and mashed potatoes!"
• All other six-loss teams (Arizona, St. Louis, Tennessee, San Diego, Miami, Buffalo): Miami and Buffalo are in the same spot as the Jets, three back of the Patriots in the AFC East and two out of a wild-card spot. Neither has an easy task this week -- Miami hosts 6-4 Seattle, while the Bills visit Indianapolis.
St. Louis is a six-loss team in name only, the Rams' Week 10 tie meaning that the best record they can reach is 9-6-1. That mark would beat out any 9-7 teams ... but would not help against 10-6 squad. The Cardinals' situation is not much better at 4-6, considering their six-game skid and unsettled QB situation. The two NFC West foes meet in Arizona, so someone probably will have a seventh loss (or a useless tie).
Both Tennessee and San Diego can forget about their respective division races. Even wild-card contention seems far-fetched, but the Titans have a winnable game in Jacksonville this week, and San Diego will be hosting a beat-up Baltimore team.Holiday desperation level:

Acne FurnitureJanuary 26th, 2010
The Swedish creative agency Acne, which is mostly known for its fashion brand, presented its first furniture collection during the Paris fashion week. The started off from a Swedish design classic by Carl Malmsten: the Nya Berlin (New Berlin) Sofa. He designed it for the Swedish consulate in Berlin and hasn't been in production since 1949. Acne stretched, squashed and pulled the simplistic shape to create new sculptural forms. The designs are of course upholstered with denim which they bleached and hand-dyed. I'm curious to see them in real life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CookingCajun from Considerable investment, but... These Shun Fujis are proving to be workhorses. I started with the chef, then added a hone suki, and finally the 7" santoku. The SG2 edges are holding up well -- no chipping -- although I wouldn't describe them as lazers, being more substantially built. I've waited considerable time between each purchase 1) to make sure the quality was there before digging deeper into the Fuji line-up, and 2) because of the significant price of each piece -- each purchase has been made during subsequent sales. The clad SG2 sharpens nicely and easier than I expected on Shapton glass stones, with intermittent honing on a ceramic rod to get the longest out of the edges. The SG2 core and cladding provide excellent stainless properties.Date published: 2016-01-26Rated 5 out of 5 by AndrewBaltimore from High quality steel & great looking By far the best knife I have ever owned or used! The first time I used this knife was for a bone-in ribeye that my butcher cut too thick (3 inches). I grabbed my 10" Fuji chef knife to see if it could cut through bone. I turned the ribeye on its side, and cut through the meat and bone with ease. UNBELIEVABLE! Super impressed with the quality of the knife as well as the overall appearance.Date published: 2014-04-26Rated 5 out of 5 by TrapperJoe from Best Knife Ever I decided it was time to buy a new set of knives and carefully researched what I wanted. Shun was the "no brainer" and my first purchase was the 10" Fuji Chef's Knife. It's like I never knew what a really good knife was like! Pricey, but you get what you pay for, and then some. The Chef's Knife is the workhorse of the kitchen, and Shun Fuji is the ultimate knife to own. SHARP, well balanced, comfortable and a pleasure to use.Date published: 2013-08-04Rated 2 out of 5 by jerk77 from very nice knife for a home chef This is a very sexy knife with a very sharp edge however..... i have had to replace it 4 times. FOUR. William sonoma has the BEST customer service ever, they replaced it every time no questions asked. I had a steel defect, then the handle shifted, and then it was just dull. point is if you use you knife everyday like I do go with a different kind of shun.Date published: 2013-03-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Jay1111 from Flawless Performance I own six chef's knives, three of which are made by Shun. This knife is far and away the best knife I have ever owned or used. It is incredibly sharp and well-balanced; the perfect knife for slicing, dicing and mincing. While I am very fond of my other Shun knives, they pale in comparison. Granted, it is a little pricey. But if you are only going to own one high-end knife, I highly recommend you make it this one.Date published: 2013-01-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Agonystes from Almost perfect As a professional chef in a fine dining restaurant, I have come to know what I love in a knife and what limitations other knives have. Regarding the Fuji 10" chefs, this knife has no limitations. I am left handed, and the double "D" handle contours my hand perfectly. The iron sword wood handle has a great texture for grip. The gyuto style SG2 PM blade holds a lightning edge with my black ceramic hone, and has the perfect amount of raised belly for chopping, mincing, or walking my blade across a cutting board. This is the number one blade I reach for at the restaurant, or at home and I have Macs, Shuns, Hattoris, Yaxells, and Kramers, hands down this beats them all. You can find other gyuto style SG2 knives in the $400 range, but none with the looks, design, function and attention to detail, that this knife has.Date published: 2012-08-25Rated 5 out of 5 by KnifeEnthusiast from Superb fit and finish. I have over 3 dozen hand-made Japanese knives, and I obtained the Fuji chef knife by chance. It went ignored for months because I considered it cumbersome and heavy compared to my 5 to 6-ounce wa-gyutos of similar length which can outperform the Fuji in almost any task. The Fuji has finally grown on me. The fit and finish is beyond reproach, and the SG-2 steel behaves as I've known it to behave. It does not keep the light-saber feeling for long, but it stays acceptably sharp for a long long time. The Shun Fuji is NOT among my top 10 favorite knives, but I find that I grab for it more and more when I want the benefit of extra weight or a wider gyuto. Guests like the stunning looks. Unlike with the other Shun Chefs knives with horribly high elevated tip profiles, you won't get carpal tunnel syndrome doing repeated tip-work with the Fuji. The edge profile was done correctly. 4 1/2 stars.Date published: 2012-07-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Ironchef60 from If you buy one high end knife, make it this one. I purchased this knife in December. I also have 3 other shun knives. A Kaji, Classic, and a Classic Stainless Steel. I Also have two Global knives, and a couple of lower end German Steel. Before I got the Fuji I used all the other knives according to the task at hand. Now I use the Fuji almost exclusively. The sharpness of the blade, and comfort of the handle allows me to chop larger vegetables, carve and slice meats, then deftly mince garlic and shallots without switching knives. It is also excellent with hard and some soft cheeses. I even cut thin slices of fresh mozzarella, you just have to rinse the blade after the third slice. The price may be high, but the value, quality, and beauty of this knife justifies the purchase. Guests who come to dinner, that like to help out with the prep, can't keep their hands off this knife. The only con is, the food does not fall away from the blade as they would have you believe, but is better than the other knives I have that make the same claim.Date published: 2012-04-03

what the f*ck ESPN, skips first 4 mins of 2nd quater
Don't understand how you can have 2 PGs on the floor and still be stagnant.
Real Talk
If the Nets brought this intensity against the rest of the league they would be a #1 seed.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Chandler gives us a lot of extra possessions. What he does on the offensive end is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
How were the game threads from last years **** season better and more active than the game threads for the season of a lifetime
we need to expand KO
knicksonline should have a facebook page and stuff
Does anyone believe that a team led by Raymond Felton as their PG could win a title?
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.

PONTIAC, Mich. - Forentino Martinez got a surprise when he picked up his son at Pontiac Middle School on Wednesday.
He heard a story of teachers wearing surgical masks at the school.
"He said the teacher got a mask," Martinez said.
Another parent, Barbara Terrell, said she saw the masks when she went into the office Wednesday morning. She also saw the construction project.
"I saw like part of that area all blocked off and then some teachers in the office wearing masks and stuff, and no one would really say what was going on or anything," Terrell said.
More: Headlines from Pontiac, Mich.
The school district says only one classroom at the school is involved and it is boarded up to keep the dust contained. The air ducts are open to the outside to keep the fresh air coming in.
However, teachers association President Aimee McKeever said some teachers and students suffered asthma attacks and had to be treated at a nearby hospital. Those are the masked teachers.
"The superintendent and I have had a conversation and right now the environment is safe. They've done air quality tests every hour. They've indicated that those tests do not show any issues right now," said McKeever.
That's not enough for parents and grandparents.
"If he gets sick not being protected, not having a mask and the teachers have a mask, I think that's unfair," said Dee Hall, whose grandchild attends the school.
Terrell said she would have at least liked to hear about this from the school.
"Yeah, I'm upset that they didn't tell us anything, or let us know. I mean, I'd rather them tell us and give us the decision whether or not we not our kids in this school," she said.
McKeever says a longer 6-hour test was taken Wednesday to check air quality. It has been sent to a lab and is expected back on Thursday. The results likely will determine whether they keep the school open.
