Wayist Mysticism
A spirituality where body, soul, mind and spirit dwell in simplicity and beauty
WAYISM is that state of being where loving-kindness is the wisdom and purpose of life; where the solutions to life's problems melt away in insignificance
Wayism is where spirituality is ever joyful and happiness becomes our natural state
Humility, Simplicity and Compassion
Filled with the wisdom of love from above, we rise above the challenges of life
Wayism is where relationship is grounded in awareness of the presence of the Divine Energies is all things. Namaste becomes how we view our world. Ahimsa, or 'do no harm' is our natural walk. Our love deepens, respect and kindness in each step. Yoked together in the Love that fills all voids and burns away all doubts, we become, spiritually content as we walk each other home.

Wayist Mysticism
A spirituality where body, soul, mind and spirit dwell in simplicity and beauty
WAYISM [ /'weɪ/ɪz(ə)m/ /ˌeɪɪzm/ ] (noun)
Definition of Wayism
A widespread worldview and accompaying lifestyle expounded by the in the 1st century CE spiritual teacher Iesous, whose followers were know as Wayists, or the people of The Way. Iesous was also known as Jesus, Yesu, Issa, and Oesho, depending on areas where he worked. Iesous worked in Egypt, the Mid-East and India.
Wayism, the worldview, was not invented by Iesous, he only preached the ancient Truth in the hope to bring about reformation movements from within the religions of the day. The worldview and lifestyle of The Way was earlier captured in Scripture such as the Upanishads, Daodejing and the Platonic schools of early Greece.
Iesous work in the first century revived Wayist thinking and first took root in 1st century India among Hindus involved in the upcoming Bhakti Movement, it was once known as the Yoga of Jesus. By the end of the 1st century, Wayism influenced the reformation in Buddhism known as Mahayana, from which sprang Wayist-thinking Pure Land schools of thought, Zen, Tiantai and other. Wayism also lies at the root of Christianity, a Judaic reform movement created by the spiritual teacher Paul toward the mid-first century CE. The spiritual teacher Thomas, a devotee of Iesous, started Wayist Church of the East in Kashmir, India during the early 40s of the 1st century.
There is a mystical, devotional, side to Wayism that finds expression in a number of religious-style movements, The Pure Land Tradition, Church of the East and Wayist Church, for example. This website is devoted to Wayist Mysticism--the awareness of the Divine Energy in all things in and around us.
Wayism is more popular in the West as a philosophical lifestyle and worldview, because most westerners have turned their back on religion and sort of had thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
Wayist teaching is succinctly captured in the authoritative book, WAYISM: The Primary Text, available from the publisher, Amazon and other booksellers around the world.

I chose a provocative title for this essay to let Google to bring in some evangelical types to take note of something nice for their otherwise fearful souls.
Love your neighbours as you love yourself
We humans are creatures sharing space on this planet with billions of other creatures. The human animal is not any more special than any other. We humans are predators by nature, and as Wayists we must free our souls from this nature. As long as human body-mind does the thinking for the soul, we will be predators of the worst kind. We must free ourselves from the animal's way of thinking, think with soul-mind.
Iesous said, "...and love your neigbours as you love yourself" If you think about it, Iesous gave only two main teachings for all humankind to be freed from samsara. First, He taught the good news that we have a God, our Father in Heaven, who cares about our spirituality, who has a vested interest in our spiritual growth, and that we will be born again in Sukhavati. Secondly, Iesous taught, "...and love your neighbors as you love yourself"
We share space with other beings that are in God's eyes any bit as important as we are. We have to be good neighbours, kindhearted and conscientious citizens. They are not intelligent as we are with certain things but they posses intelligence and bio-tools that are far superior to ours on many different levels. They have higher ethics when it comes to co-habitation, neighborliness, and community organization. They do not kill unless for food. They are generally very peaceful and only pose a threat to us when we threaten their survival, their food source, their children, their living space.
We humans have a terrible rack record as neighbors. We wage outright war and commit genocide every day. We conquer their land, destroy their communities, rob hem of their food sources and drive them out. We wage chemical warfare against them. We employ "pest control" bounty hunters to arrest and kill them when they dare come back and try to live alongside us in their ancestral land. create factories to breed them by the billion each year for slaughter. We are the worst of the worst kind of predator this planet has ever seen in its very, very long history.
Our souls are paying the price. We may need to incarnate again, and again, for thousands of years lest we learn to love our neighbours as we love ourselves.
Worship through Nature
Although we say Namaste to fellow human beings, we must admit that it is often hard to see the presence of the Divine is them humans. It is admittedly easier to say Namaste to trees, squirrels, rabbits, chimpanzees, cats, dogs and gorillas. For some, it is a challenge to think of skunks, raccoons, jackal and such as imbued by the Divine presence. Nevertheless, flowers, grass, water, lakes, the ocean, insects and mammals all make it easier for us to experience the Divine in all things. What a wondrous world they created and live! What wonderful creatures they are! We just have to learn to be more like them and less predatorial, less of a bully, more polite and better neigbours.
Most humans can gain lifetimes of soul growth by simply embracing a heightened awareness and love of other species, of our neighbours.
For those of you who think it is easier to love your human neighbour as yourself, try living in my house. The human neighbour is a real challenge to like, he destroys, love, trust and nature, but the squirrels, raccoons, opossum, butterflies (and their caterpillars), mice, even the ants are better natured and a delight to share one's space.
And then there is hypocricy
Some people are "cat people" who love animals to bits. They spend a fortune of vets. The market for pets and pet food in the West has increased beyond capacity. People spend more money on pet food t
han on education. Yet, they eat meat. They make a fuss when someone culls a deer and they see pictures of blood on the carcass, yet they eat meat. They make a fuss when they see in developing countries how people slaughter animals to eat, because at home there is no blood, no skin, no featers, just civilized guilt-free meat.
Three days before Christmas of 2014 I walked into a poverty stricken village in Cambodia. Villagers took us to see a household who needed urgent help. The mother gave birth to a 3-months premature baby, she was not lactating, the baby too weak to eat and they did not have money for medical help. Nurses at a clinic inserted a feeding tube into the baby's tummy and the mom injected cow milk with a syringe into little Sombat's tummy. The family lives on a septic swamp land (Government build a road that prevents natural drainage of the swamp). Talking to doctors in town, it became clear that we needed more money to help than what we had available. We needed at least $2,000 to save the child and the mother who was going septic from untreated birth trauma. We started an urgent fundraising campaign. It was bad timing, being Christmas and all because people have lots of expenses that time of year. Also, two of our friends had problems with their pets and were also looking for money. One's dog was run over by a car, broke his pelvis and he had to raise $8,000 urgently. People pitched in quickly and saved the dog, raising more than $10,000. Another's cat had been shot with an airgun and the vets needed $3,500 to remove the pellets and operate on the brain to remove a pellet from the skull. Sad to say, when Sombat died on January 6th, we had raised only $280. We managed to get some formula to the mom but did not have enough to secure a spot in a pediatric ward.
Rest in Peace Sombat
Canticle of The Sun
Most high, all-powerful, all good, Lord!
All praise is yours, all glory, all honor
And all blessing.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong.
No mortal lips are worthy
To pronounce your name.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through all that you have made,
And first my lord Brother Sun,
Who brings the day; and light you give to us through him.
How beautiful is he, how radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Moon and Stars;
In the heavens you have made them, bright
And precious and fair.
All praise be yours, My Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,
And fair and stormy, all the weather's moods,
By which you cherish all that you have made.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Water,
So useful, lowly, precious and pure.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
Through whom you brighten up the night.
How beautiful is he, how gay! Full of power and strength.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Earth, our mother,
Who feeds us in her sovereignty and produces
Various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through those who grant pardon
For love of you; through those who endure
Sickness and trial.
Happy those who endure in peace,
By you, Most High, they will be crowned.
All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Death,
From whose embrace no mortal can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Happy those She finds doing your will!
The second death can do no harm to them.
Praise and bless my Lord, and give him thanks,
And serve him with great humility.
Francis of Assisi
Stop Being so Religious
Stop Being So Religious
Do sad people have in
It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
What is the beginning of
It is to stop being
So religious
Like That.
"Nature" is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse— the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.
To Nature
It may indeed be phantasy, when I
Essay to draw from all created things
Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings ;
And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie
Lessons of love and earnest piety.
So let it be ; and if the wide world rings
In mock of this belief, it brings
Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity.
So will I build my altar in the fields,
And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be,
And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields
Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee,
Thee only God ! and thou shalt not despise
Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice

I take refuge in the Way, the Lord and the Sangha
Until I attain enlightenment
By the merit I have accumulated from practicing humility, simplicity and compassion
May I attain enlightenment, for the benefit of all migrators.
1) The elements of the first line are referred to as the Triple Jewel. The Sangha is the community of migrators (human devotees).
2) The second line places a condition of the first line of the vow, because when we get to heaven, we will change where and to whom we go for refuge since the Sangha (the community of migrators) is earthbound.
3) The third line is the purpose of life.
4) The fourth line is a Wayist ethic, as a lotus plant, we too strive to live a life that benefits others.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is Injury, Pardon.
Where there is Doubt, Faith.
Where there is Despair, Hope.
Where there is Darkness, Light, and
Where there is Sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

We believe in the Immutable One, first cause of all.
We believe in the Way as a force that emanates from the One, as the pattern that regulates the laws of nature, upholding countless galaxies and energies known and unknown.
We believe in the spiritual potential embedded in human souls that is nurtured by wisdom to one day metamorphose from the soul, to be reborn in spirit-heaven to remain with the Father forever.
We believe in the individual human soul that evolved from the collective consciousness of different beings; that incarnates on earth in human bodies from time to time to learn the wisdom required to become an enlightened spiritual being.
We believe in earth, our school, mother of our bodies, and host to all our siblings from a multitude of species. We believe in good stewardship, and to tread gently as we go.
We believe in community, the essential element through which each individual's curriculum is presented, as managed by the Law of Karma.
We believe in the Law of Dharma, which is the collected wisdom of the soul, that brings with it duties and responsibilities as we advance of the path to enlightenment.
We believe in the three qualities, Humility, Simplicity and Compassion
We believe in Bhakti (unity through mystical devotion) as a good companion to the Wayist's path in Jnana (Skt: wisdom), Hatha (Skt: physical wellbeing) and Karma (Skt: actions with good intentions).
We believe in Spirit Heaven, our destination, from where the Father in Heaven sent spiritual helpers to ease our travails as we walk in the Way to enlightenment.
We believe in the Lord (Skt title: Avalokiteshvara), sent from the Father, who lived and worked among us as Iesous the Reformer, who was born as man, and crucified by the religions of the day, who was glorified in Sukhavati and returned as the Compassionate Comforter, Saviour of All sentient beings on earth; who appears to us in the form most acceptable for our hearts whether it be as Buddha, Bodhisattva, the gods, Lord Krishna, Jesus, Goddess, Christ, an animal, human or whatever other form best suited for us at the time.

One week Europe is a mess, the next week Europe's problems are solved. And because of the hurricane damage in the Northeast along with the U.S. Presidential election, Europe has take a temporary back seat in the news. Does this mean it is no longer important to our financial markets?
In an article I wrote on 10/3, the importance of the Euro and how its movements are driving US stock prices, not earnings or other factors, was captured by one simple chart. That updated chart is below.
Continue Reading Below
The chart also shows the more things change, the more they stay the same. The Euro's tracking ETF (NYSEARCA:FXE) continues to be highly correlated and the primary driver of the US stock market's direction.
The Tail that Wags the Dog?
We live in a continuously more interconnected and global world. Proof is shown by the immense size of foreign transactions with over $4 Trillion traded on the currency markets every day.
By comparison, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:NYX), the largest stock exchange in the world, trades just $150B each day, roughly. That market is 3x larger than its nearest competitor, Nasdaq (NASDAQGS:NDAQ). The top 10 stock exchanges in the world trade an estimated $375B collectively each day.
This means the Foreign Exchange market is over 26x larger than the NYSE and over 12x larger than all the world's major stock exchanges put together. To call the Forex market the much bigger brother of the equity markets is indeed an understatement. Given the correlations and size differences between the two markets, it is very safe to say that the currency market is the dog that wags the tail of equities.
Where is the Euro (and thus the Equity Markets) Headed?
We have been long-term bearish on the Euro. In our January Newsletter, published 12/16/11 and when the Euro was trading around $1.31, we stated, "As long as the euro remains below its ascending trend line, we expect prices to fall further. A rally back towards the trend line (then at $1.3250) would likely be another opportunity to reload short positions." That indeed occurred when the Euro rallied in the spring to its trend line before falling another 10% to its July low of $1.21.
More recently, in our November ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published 10/19/12, we advised our subscribers, "The Currency Shares Euro Trust (NYSEARCA:FXE) broke to a near term high of $130.50 in September and double-topped this week. The $131-$132 range is an area of stiff upward resistance". We also identified a level where the Euro can be shorted again. Price is now very close to confirming that short.
If the Euro's downtrend is confirmed, we also expect the equity markets to keep up their high correlations with the Euro, continue to be the Tail of the Euro dog, and sell off alongside. The implications also would affect other markets such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEArca:DIA), long term bonds (NYSEArca:TLT), and commodities such as Silver (NYSEArca:SLV) and Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD).
The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter filters through the unhelpful media noise by utilizing comprehensive technical and fundamental analysis to keep us on the right side of the markets. A few times each week we update our subscribers on actionable high probability trading setups that identify stops and profit targets like those of the Euro and its tradable ETFs.

Pennsylvania Haunted House Launches "Naked Walkthrough Challenge"
The idea of people screaming in horror while possibly looking at your naked nether regions might be the stuff greedy shrinks fantasize about, but Shocktoberfest in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania is banking that such an idea will be a huge hit.
The popular Halloween destination has just announced the Naked and Scared Challenge, which tasks courageous visitors to walk through one of its haunted houses completely in the nude. The daily naked challenge won't take place until after the park closes at midnight, and organizers say you have nothing to worry about because everyone else inside will be nude, too. (Even the actors?) There will also be security guards stationed throughout the venue to ensure that no one gets frisky.
If walking nude through a haunted house is almost your idea of fun but not quite, the park will also offer a "prude" challenge for visitors who are cool with stripping down to their undies.
Would you do it, Instincters?
are you kidding? absolutely!!! as a matter of fact, if you want to use me for publicity, i will be the first one to take the challenge all the way from south dakota!! no joke!! you would have to pay for the plane ticket though. i bet you could find an airline or a rich to donate for their publicity as well!

Murdoch's NY Post Continues To Source Articles From Bloggers With No Credit
from the what's-stealing,-Rupert? dept
Andrew Fine alerted us to the news that suggests the NY Post used one of his posts as inspiration for a story. Fine had written about the rather disconcerting sign in a Chuck E. Cheese in Harlem. That blog post got some attention on various other blogs... and then just a couple of days later, the NY Post had an article about the very same sign (apparently, it took two reporters to write that article), with nary a mention of Fine's original blog post (or even any of the other blog posts that promoted Fine's original story).
Now, to be clear, while I do think it's good manners to cite where you sourced a story, it's certainly not required (legally or otherwise) by any means. But where it gets hypocritical is for this to come from an organization that claims that other sites merely linking to its articles are somehow "stealing." But when the NY Post comes in and blatantly borrows an idea from someone else, and does so without credit, that's perfectly fine? It seems like Murdoch and News Corp. have quite the double standard going.

The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) noted in a recent report that 28 percent of Catholics who marry in the Church end up divorcing (less than the 36 percent of total divorces in the country, but still a large chunk).
According to Church teaching, those who marry in the Church, then get a divorce and remarry without receiving a decree of nullity (often referred to as an annulment), are considered to be in a permanent state of adultery and are unable to receive the Eucharist.
These teachings are difficult for many who try to follow the rules by applying for an annulment, only to be turned down. The process that is meant to uphold the dignity of marriage instead too often comes across as pedantic and uncaring. It can leave deep-seated hurt that spans generations and results in family members leaving the Church.
But neither divorce nor the teachings of the Faith are going away, so the Church and those who minister in it must continue to walk the fine line of clearly standing up for the dignity of the sacrament, while at the same time being pastorally sensitive to the feelings of the faithful.
According to the Catechism, "Between the baptized, 'a ratified and consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any human power or for any reason other than death'" (No. 2382). A remarriage adds to "the gravity of the rupture." This is the teaching of the Church, but Pope Francis has also emphasized a message of mercy, which has given many Catholics the hope that change in pastoral practice may be possible.
On the flight back from Rio, in response to a question specifically on divorced and remarried Catholics, he said, "I believe that this is a time for mercy." That marriage is in need of what the pope called "profound pastoral care" is undeniable. The declining numbers of sacramental marriages taking place in the United States along with the divorce rate and the growing numbers who are unmarried but cohabiting suggest a broader crisis. According to CARA, the number of Catholic marriages has dropped from 415,487 in 1972 to 163,775 in 2011 — or 60.5 percent.
Pope Francis called for an extraordinary synod on the pastoral challenges relating to the family for next October. But in the meantime, how can the Church remain faithful, yet be a place of mercy for those suffering from broken marriages?
Perhaps it could start small, with catechesis on why the Church values annulments in the first place. According to the CARA report, only 15 percent of divorced Catholics even seek them. Perhaps, too, dioceses could invest more resources into their tribunals in order to ensure a more consistent timetable where annulments are concerned. Depending on the diocese, tribunals can take anywhere from several months to several years to decide their cases. Couples wait for an outcome, their lives on hold, and their families — parents, children, siblings — wait with them.
Such a standardization wouldn't assuage all the pain of broken marriages, but it might be a good first step toward easing tensions between the Church and its members, while still being faithful to Church teaching.

Maybe "joy" is overstating it, since having your front limbs mauled by sharks is a tough thing to get over. But thanks to the perseverance of a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo, loggerhead sea turtle Yu Chan can swim again after a shark attack. 27 prosthesis models later (see? Perseverance), she's back in her tank at the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, Japan.
So everyone stop being such a miserable jerk and live by Yu Chan's example. By which I mean, in a shell with weird barnacles on it.

Illusia 2 Review
Illusia 2 is, as the title implies, the sequel to the 2010 action-RPG title Illusia from Gamevil. And, as is the case with many sequels, your desire to play this one may largely hinge on just how hungry for more the first one left you.
This time, you take control of one of three character types: a magician, a warrior, or our pick, the all-new assassin, who dual-wields a pair of blades. The story follows your chosen hero as he learns that something is amiss in the dreams of not only himself, but his fellow villagers as well. Investigating the matter leads the hero to an all-new dream world, one which is comprised of four new lands to explore, each with a different theme. It's a simple narrative, and while it may not have as much of a bite as, say, Chaos Rings II, it does the job.
Tonight I feel like frog legs.
Though it is touted as an action-RPG, Illusia 2 approaches the concept a little differently than one might expect, should they be unfamiliar with Korean RPGs. Rather than a top-down affair like some games in The Legend of Zelda series or Secret of Mana, Illusia 2 is a side-scroller with some platforming elements thrown in. And yet, while battles may appear to be in real-time, there are still some RPG elements in play such as attacks "missing" where most action games would register a hit. But for the most part, it's just a matter of engaging enemies, mashing the attack button, hoping your stats can outdo theirs, and reaping whatever spoils they leave behind when vanquished.
The controls for the game feel a little peculiar, and that's even while ignoring the jump and attack buttons being reversed from their traditional setup. Platforming plays an important part in moving around the title's almost nonsensical map, and making simple jumps can be more difficult than they should be. At best, this tends to prove a minor inconvenience, though at worst, with the frequent regeneration of enemies, it can drop you right into skirmishes you might rather avoid.
Make like George Washington.
On the RPG side of things, lots of items are dropped by enemies, or can be bought from merchants, and even refined by blacksmiths. Between these and upgradable skills, you can customize your character to your liking, and may find yourself doing so frequently. While most of the game feels like platforming action with some RPG elements thrown in, there is also a fair amount of story here as well, and the cut scenes unfortunately tend to drag things down. Besides tiny text on the iPhone's screen, the translation is uneven. It feels like there were two people working on it, and one slept most of the time, resulting in some dialogue which seems perfectly fine, while other parts range from laughably bad to downright nonsensical.
Rounding things off, Illusia 2's graphics are as good as ever, and the soundtrack is kind of catchy as well. And, just as in the original, there are a number of things you can do online to prolong the experience, including PVP, Rush and Defense modes, and more.
In the end, Illusia 2 attempts to be a jack-of-all-trades, but is ultimately the master of none. In other words, it does its thing pretty well, but not especially well, and is still fun to spend a bit of time with– especially as it's a free download.

I am not counting the NGPC and the two games I have for it because that system sucks and it doesn't deserve to be in my collection. I am also not counting the games I got on steam that I've never played because digital games aren't real.
True fans of archaic legacy systems must also be fans of VHS, the third best video format ever made. I have watched this video. I'm not sure if I have played these because I always get Fatal Fury mixed up with Final Fight. However, I know it is not Final Fantasy because Orko is in those games.
Would you believe that I originally got this KOF Maximum Impact when it came out? Well I didn't care for the game and traded it to Gamestop and kept the DVD. Then I rebought the game again a couple years ago and haven't played it. It sits on my PS2 shelf next to Knock-Out Kings, which I have also never played.
And then the crown jewels of my collection. You can tell I have an eye out for the scoops judging by the original price stickers. The SNK Arcade Classics v1 is still sealed! I have not played any of these games, nor any of the famicom carts used as props.
While I do not have very many SNK or Neo-Geo games, nor have I played more than 2 Neo-Geo games ever, I have watched a lot of long plays on Youtube.

March 20, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season following a 9-6 victory over Keene State College on Tuesday. Casey Flynn led all scorers with six points, including five goals, as the Engineers improved to 1-1 on the year. Michelle Mazzotta and Dene Tully each scored twice for the Owls (0-1).
Mazzotta opened the scoring 2:08 into the contest with an unassisted strike. Flynn tied the game five minutes later and then connected on feed from Lily He to give MIT the lead at 18:34. Just over a minute later, Lanaya Nelson evened the score at two. The Engineers responded with three unanswered goals in a span of four minutes. Flynn started the spurt, which was followed by a free position goal from Laura Watson and a shot from He that trickled into the net. Mazzotta narrowed the Owls' deficit to two (5-3) with 11:38 remaining in the half. Flynn contributed to MIT's final goals of the frame as she set up Watson and then converted a free position attempt for what proved to be the game-winning goal.
Flynn carried the momentum into the second stanza as she gave the Engineers their largest lead of the day, 8-3, after 26 seconds elapsed. On the ensuing draw control, Keene State's Tully registered the first goal of her career. The game remained scoreless until Meagan Moran's goal with 21:12 left on the clock. The Owls closed the gap to two (8-6) three minutes later on Tully's second goal of half. A defensive battle ensued for the remainder of the game until He set up Samantha O'Keefe for an insurance goal with 27 seconds left to play.
Watson picked up a team-high five groundballs to go along with three draw controls and two caused turnovers. Ming Leong, He, and O'Keefe each added three groundballs as Flynn totaled three draw controls. Hee Jay Kang collected 11 saves for the Engineers.
Molly Corcoran posted a game-high eight groundballs while Andrea Mitchell, Melissa Gagnon, Moran each tallied six. Mazzotta recorded four draw controls as Stephanie Georgevits was credited with two caused turnovers. In net, Jen Gearing made six saves in Keene State's first game of the season.
Both teams will continue non-conference action at home on Thursday, March 22. MIT will host Gordon College while Keene State will face Springfield College.

Korean Importers Learn About U.S. Beef, Conservation Program Opens Next Week
- The U.S. Meat Export Federation recently hosted a workshop for 230 Korean red meat importers, distributors, retail and food service operators.
The design was to give them insights into the care U.S. beef and pork industries take in raising livestock and caring for the land on which they produce livestock.
One of the primary issues in South Korea is tight regulation on the ability of processors to label products as natural or organic or other marketing descriptors that are not - and cannot be - uniformly defined.
The goal is to help Korean importers and buyers better understand the care that goes into the production of U.S. beef and pork so they can make purchasing decisions with that knowledge.
- The first participants of the Conservation Stewardship Program with contracts approved in fiscal year 2010, have from July 11 until Sept. 12 to file an application to renew their contracts and make decisions on additional conservation activities that will benefit priority natural resource issues.
CSP is offered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is the Farm Bill program that helps farmers and ranchers take conservation investments to the next level.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has not travelled to Switzerland for the club's Europa League tie against Young Boys.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has decided to rest Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Jose Reina, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Joe Allen and Martin Kelly - all have remained on Merseyside.
As a result, Rodgers will field an extremely inexperienced team. New signing Samed Yesil is in the squad, and the Liverpool manager has hinted the 18-year-old will make his debut.
But Jamie Carragher has made the trip and will provide leadership and experience in the heart of the Liverpool defence. Nuri Sahin and Jonjo Shelvey have both travelled and the two should start for the Reds as the begin their Europa League campaign.
Rodgers has one eye on the visit of Manchester United on Sunday, and after a difficult start to the season, feels he needs his key players well rested for the weekend's match.
"I can understand why people would perceive us as not taking [the Europa League] seriously but I will always do what is in the best interests of the football club," Rodgers said.
"There is no doubt the Premier League is our number on priority, I've made that clear from the off with the position of our squad."
Liverpool provisional squad to face Young Boys: Jones, Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Enrique, Shelvey, Sahin, Henderson, Downing, Yesil, Morgan, Gulacsi, Robinson, Coady, Suso, Sterling, Pacheco, Assaidi.

MotorWeek Video Transcript: Learn More about Idle Reduction
Jessica Shea Choksey:Two years ago we reported on an innovative idea to get big rigs to shut down their idling engines when stopping for their mandatory breaks. Now, an update on IdleAire's Advanced Truckstop Electrification service and the effect it's had on our environment.
An idling truck burns about a gallon of diesel fuel an hour, a considerable expense for each required ten-hour stop.
For two-thirds of that cost, IdleAire provides in-cab heat, A/C, satellite TV, and internet access through special window-mounted service modules, so long-haul truckers can save while they snooze.
Since our initial report, use of the IdleAire service has increased to over 5 million hours per year. The company has over 110 locations in 35 States, and now has more than 65 hundred service modules installed.
Tom Badgett, Chief Information Officer, IdleAire: As of today, IdleAire has provided about 14 million hours of service to drivers across the country. That equates to 14 million gallons more or less of diesel fuel that wasn't used, 143,000 metric tons of air emissions that were cut off at the source.
Choksey: The service has also caught the attention of big trucking companies. Fleets now account for over 85% of IdleAire's customer base. For them, idle reduction means less wear and tear on engines and lower maintenance and fuel costs.
So far IdleAire has proved to be beneficial not only to the trucking industry, but also to the environment as a whole. And that's it for this week's MotorNews.

Well, GC took a little bit of time out of his holiday weekend to respond to a few more of our comments and give us a little more detail. If you want to see all of the comments I suggest you use a Blue Tracker like MMO-Champion. Here are the highlights.
The Technical Issue:
I know exactly how Nightfall works and how the new set bonus works. They work differently. The reason they work differently is that Nightfall is a talent so it is okay, in our minds, to muck up the spell with a lot of special cases since those cases will largely exist forever. Messing with Starfire to make the tier set work better is unattractive because then the spell is laden with this special-case stuff that will only be relevant for a few months in 2009. Yet we will have to live with the risk of that code breaking or falling out of date forever (or at least as long as WoW endures, which I suspect will be longer than 2009). :).There are a couple of things I take from this quote. First is GC's explanation of the technical issue. It is easy for us as players to think: "You can do it for Nightfall. Why not 4T8." It seems like such a simple fix, but I think their reasoning for not doing it that way makes sense. There is no reason to make the code more complicated for a set bonus that is only going to be used for a couple of months. We also have to remember that even though most people will only be using 4T8 for a couple of months, the code has to stay there forever, because the item will be in game forever.
I make mistakes sometimes, and WoW is a very complex game, but assertions that the players understand the mechanics better than the developers are almost always going to be incorrect. (source)
Secondly, I completely agree that it is dumb for players to assert that they know more about the game technically then GC or any other Blizzard employee. If coding WoW was so easy then there would be dozens of MMO's just like it and just as successful.
That doesn't invalidate our opinions or mean we should shut up. While Blizzard has a lot of very smart people on staff, it is impossible for them to see everything from all angles, but +11 million players are very good at finding the loop holes. We just have to remember to express our opinions appropriately, with numbers and examples. If we habitually fly off the handle they will eventually ignore us.
GC's Take Away:
Ghostcrawler made two comments about the lessons of this thread. Here is the first.
My take home from this thread is not to respond next time. My trying to share some information did nothing to improve the conversation. We could have fixed the bonus and players would have eventually noticed. When we spend time to moderate a thread, that is less time we have to work on the game. (source)
I hope this is just the frustration talking. I think his second comment is the true lesson of the thread.
I constantly learn on these forums that quick answers are seldom sufficient.Here is the true wisdom. As Murmur's pointed out in his apology, much of the emotional response would have been prevented if a few more details were given up front. It sucks for GC, because we players hang on his every word. Having to worry about every little comment you make is probably very stressful. However, I think I speak for most players when I say that the increased interaction with the developers since TBC is one of the best developments in WotLK.
The Status of 4T8:
We have a fix for the current set bonus to make it work the way you imagine it should at a 7 or 8% proc chance. It's our policy not to announce patch dates ahead of time, but it will be long before 3.2. (source)
This is good to hear. I wouldn't expect this to be fixed really soon, but I think it is possible that it could be fixed in the next couple of weeks. My guess is that it will be at least two weeks.
I'll also be running some numbers on what the reduced proc rate would mean. I have some numbers for it at 15%, but obviously those aren't valid any more. However, at 15% the 4T8 was about a 6% increase to DPS, so my guess is that at 7% it will be about a 3% DPS increase. That isn't bad.
The Name Drop:
Blogs like Graylo's had a lot more influence than this thead (even if I did piss him off). :)
/Happy /Dance
Is it sad that I can be won over by a simple name drop? Just kidding. Once again it makes me feel good to know what I am being read by influential people and that they listen to well reasoned arguments.

Dani Behr has told how she has split with her husband of almost nine years because they have so little in common.
The former presenter of Channel 4 shows such as The Word and The Big Breakfast, who is now based in Los Angeles, said long hours and moves to new locations with restaurateur Carl Harwin added to the pressures.
The mother-of-two told Hello! magazine: "We were married for almost nine years and we'd been growing apart for some time.
She continued: "We moved to Costa Rica and Australia and, as Carl works such crazy hours - he'd often get home at 11pm and leave before the kids and I woke up the next morning - it was very isolating. I was like a single parent from the beginning.
"Carl had to be in Australia last year and I'd had enough of it. It's so far from everywhere and when you have two young children you want to have a support network around you."
Behr, who also went on to present game show Ice Warriors and was a contestant on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2008, said will be looking for new things in a future partner.
"What I learnt from my Carl is that opposites attract - at first," she said.
"Later, you realise that you need to have things in common. Carl's a Malibu surfer dude and I'm a city girl. I like socialising and being around people; he wasn't like that."
She added: "When you're in that love bubble for the first few years you're very forgiving. I'm turning 40 in a few months so it really does feel like a whole new era for me."
The full interview is in this week's edition of Hello! magazine, which is out now.

DRAMs for use in PCs are mounted on SIMMS or DIMMS, but for embedded applications, often just soldered to the main PCB. Normally one bank of DRAM is shared over many sub-systems in, say, a mobile phone.
SoC DRAM compatibility might be a generation behind workstation DRAM: e.g. using DDR2
Typical DRAM pin connections:
High bandwidth: 64 bits times 400 MHz giving 25.6 Gb/s peak.
High capacity: Example 1 Gbyte DIMM made of 8 chips.
High latency: 20 clock cyles access time to a closed bank. Worse if a bank is already open at the wrong place.

My friend's brother works in Japan doing background art for anime. I don't know what studio or anything, but I know he gets paid shit, but he doesn't mind because he's hoping to work his way up.
I guess its the same thing as like, with crack dealers. The people who do the deals on the street get paid LESS than minimum wage. like $3 an hour. and its so dangerous. the only people who get paid well are the big head honchos. they go through all that trouble in the hope that one day, they could make it big. even though that's such a small chance..
Does anyone know how much mangaka get paid? Or manga editors, etc?
IS it possible for gaijin to work in these sort of positions? Ahh..
Maybe it would be easier to have a Japanese psuedonym like Wao mentioned.

I suspect most manga companies wouldn't let gaijin be manga editors unless they've been living in Japan for ages and have very good knowledge of Japanese, or are Important People. Even if you haven't lived there long but you have great knowledge of Japanese they might feel very strange.
But that's so cool, your friend's brother doing background art for anime... I'm considering going to Japan to work in the anime industry although it's really really really shit and you have to figure your way around Tokyo very quickly (although most of the time you'd probably end up sleeping in the studio), but eh... it's really very tough...

But it's a long, road, and you'll face a lot of discrimination on the way up (it's different from typical ex-pat job... There are no special benefits, usually.)
Personally, I respect anyone who does it, but I don't know if I'd want to dedicate my entire life to anime/manga... That's a little much, for me anyway...
I don't know if anyone brought up this topic, but it is similar for those making their living in the domestic anime scene (translating, etc.) The problem is that, for the majority of people, they can make a better living working a "regular job". I know that's the case for me... Even the top media translators in America don't pull in 6 figure salaries. Sure, maybe some of the executives do, but what else is new? The decision to make your living off this stuff has to come out of a passion and not practicality.

^Maybe translators are doing it as a part-time job?
Anyway, I was just thinking, how does the manga addicts fare in Japan? I was watching some drama, and this non-otaku guy in his 20s was reading manga and his girl friend sort of teased him about it. Common sense would tell me that those reading after high school would be deemed inappropriate as well, but then again, someone said manga is the biggest publication format in Japan.

But this may not be the case with original animation works. Hayao Miyazaki is a world-famous director, but he knows how to animate (Unlike Walt Disney who mostly relied on artist-bullying). And with independent creators like those who did Voices of a Distant Star / Beyond the Clouds, and Pale Cocoon / Aquatic Language, and I'm pretty sure most of the festival-grade anime shorts. The full rights lies with the creator.
Back to derivative works, now what I'm curious is how many multi-millions Ryukishi07 / 7th Expansion got and if it was similar to TYPE-MOON.

Considering how he made the story and the characters, royalties will all go to him. That includes royalties from figurines, artbooks, anime DVDs (for original concept and original character designs), upcoming PS2 game, manga sales, basically anything with the Higurashi no Naku Koroni tag on it, he'll receive a percentage.
And that's not including the sales he has received for selling +100,000 copies of his doujin game that sells for around 1000 yen. Simple math will yield 100,000,000 yen (~USD $900,000).

Can anyone out there who is a animator help me out?
hello, i'm a new member in this fourm.
i'm doing a research on lifestyle of an animator.
i was thinking if anyone who know or is an animator
to give me some information of what kind of working
environment do they work in?
what is their living lifestyle?
what do they really need?
let's say if they are out overseas
to teach as a lecturer.
what do they want to live in a hotel?
or a service apartment? do they need
a studio? what will they do after they
came back after teaching?
how to they get inspiration from?
example how do they get inpire?
hmm, i guess that's about it.
i really hope you guys could help me out.
i will really appreciate it.
thank you

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but Paranoia Agent has an episode that deals with an employee at an animation studio. At least to me, it was kind of a heads up which got me to think "okay, I know being an animator is far from a dream job, but maybe it's really just a crap job?".
I don't have any experience from this type of work, however I have done some design work that has required similar work hours as described earlier. And when it comes down to that type of work, it doesn't matter if you like what you're doing; you end up feeling like a caged monkey in a zoo, having to eat one banana for each bloody snot-nosed kid that wants to point at you and say "Hey, look at that monkey go. He sure luves his bananas!".
No, the monkey does not love bananas no more..

there are lots of artists, musicians, and writers--- but not everyone can share the same fame (and money). unfortunately for some artists, their work only became famous posthumously so they never enjoyed their supposed "returns"

Will you take animation as your major because of anime?
Basically I'm just wondering...so I post this question here:
If you are really obsess with anime, will you take animation as your major and try to get a degree if you have a chance? Or will you try to be involved in animation industry in the future? (even in this industry they mainly make cartoon and 3D animation... ) And why?

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - On the last day of the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championships at Brown University and its final game of the 2013 campaign, the MIT water polo team was defeated by George Washington, 12-9, on Sunday afternoon. Tech ended the three day championships in eighth place, after winning against Mercyhurst and falling to Navy and Harvard earlier in the weekend. The Engineers wrapped up the season with a record of 13-17.
Senior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) had four goals, two rebounds, two blocks, six shots, a steal and three ejections drawn throughout the game. In net, freshman Ian Zaun (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) had a strong game, totaling 15 blocks, two steals and one ejection drawn.
George Washington scored the first goal of the game a minute and a half into the first period but sophomore Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.) tied the score a few seconds later. With two Colonial goals and one by sophomore Joe Kusters (Coronado, Calif.) with 16 seconds remaining on the clock, the Engineers went into the second period trailing by a goal by a score of 3-2. Zaun had his strongest period with six blocks and a steal.
MIT tied the score at three with six minutes remaining in the second quarter when Cheney netted his first goal of the game, but George Washington took back the lead less than 30 seconds later. With back-to-back goals scored by Cheney and sophomore Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.), the Colonials held a 7-5 lead heading into the third quarter.
The third eight minute period was MIT's strongest, as the Engineers scored three goals while only allowing two, closing the gap to just one with a score of 9-8 following goals by Cheney and juniors Jack Clark (Laguna Beach, Calif.) and Dylan Hallman (La Jolla, Calif.). In the final quarter, however, the Colonials only allowed one goal, scored by Cheney, while finding the back of the net three times themselves, and the game ended before MIT was able to close the gap.
Tech ended the season ranked eighth in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III poll.

North Korea Crisis
Considering what North Korea has recently done, I think this topic definitely deserves its own thread. Here are some links that will provide valuable information on the situation:
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718
N. Korea ejects IAEA inspectors from Yongbyon nuclear facilities
North Korea Expelling US Monitors From Reactor Site
North Korea is now going out of control. Not just that they dare defy the international community's strong protests and test-fired a ballistic missile in the disguise of a "satellite", they are now going to improve their missile and nuclear capabilities due to their failed "satellite" test. This is clearly a severe violation of the United Nations Security Councile Resolution 1718. They are now going to stop six-party talks from advancing by not participating in it which means that the six-party talks concept was trash to begin with.
Whose idea was it to have six-party talks? Oh wait, isn't it the same country that is currently urging the world to remain calm about North Korea's recent defiances? It is also the same country that is unwilling to cooperate on the issue of North Korea at the United Nations Security Council, forcing Japan and the United States to stick to a press statement rather than a presidential statement meaning that it is merely an act of drama rather an actual effective plan to pressure North Korea to cease their hostile attitudes. China is definitely an obstacle to resolving the North Korea crisis and that if this very fact is ignored, North Korea will definitely be encouraged to continue their acts of aggression from now on..
Unfortunately, nothing can be done at this moment since China and Russia are both veto-wielding members of the UNSC. In this case, the United Nations Security Council is useless.
I do acknowledge that there are many different types of voices on AnimeSuki and that many of you are just as knowledgeable as I am when it comes to global issues, so what do you guys think of this issue?

No offense, but this has all been going on for quite a while. See, for example, 1998's launch of a Taepodong-1 missile over Japan, 2006's failed launch of a Taepodong-2, or 2006's partially-successful nuclear test.
North Korea's government likes to be a provocateur, for the propaganda coups these events score at home, and the supposed bargaining-chip it gives them when dealing with other countries. Truth be told, all the saber-rattling really hurts their position, but with the politics of Kim Jong-il, the reasoning doesn't exactly have to be sound for a policy to be embraced. It's all about glorifying Dear Leader, and with total control over the national media, they create their own reality, while refusing to acknowledge that of the outside world.

Russia and China find it useful to have North Korea keeping the US+allies a bit off-balance. Personally, I think its a bit of "tiger-by-the-tail" gamesmanship.
North Korea has been pulling these stunts periodically since *I* was a toddler 50 years ago. At least once a decade, they get a bit looney like this, because the leadership wants to feel important, they want to maintain control within, there's a LOT of hubris as well as practical calculation in these apparently "damn fool" stunts.
It is fascinating to watch the remaining countries and small sectors of the planet who have such a vastly divergent interpretation of reality....

Like with Cuba, this probably won't be resolved by outside forces. If North Korea is going to change, that change is going to come from the country itself. Watch the leadership transition; that will tell you where it's all going.
Bottom line: nobody wants to fight North Korea, especially not since they have enough missiles to turn Seoul into a sea of fire, and also do a lot of damage to Japan. China also stands to gain from North Korea remaining a separate country because South Korea is an US ally, in which case reunification = US bases on China's border = very frightening to China from a geopolitical point of view. It's like Russia's fear of US bases in the Caucasus.

And their engineering capability is top nought , not many countries in the world can handle nuclear reactor, missile etc like them , if only they spend all of those R&D money on other "peaceful" technology :'(
Personally I think it is so unfair, Pakistan and India can test anything they want and nobody gives a damn, but when NK farted a little and everyone makes a big deal about it.

I am egalitarian too, but N.K. hasn't shown any proof that they wouldn't just use the nuclear power for weapons, quite simply I can't believe they would use them for anything else. The development for energy could probably only be used for a portion of the capital, no where else given the shitty infrastructure the country has. As much as I am not into large power play politics NK is NOT a regime that needs nukes.

A page with a satellite image of the region at night. You can tell where North Korea's border with South Korea and China are, because that's where the lights stop. Not completely relevent, but something to consider.

Perhaps, I am over-estimating North Korea's military capacity but the fact is that even a mere attack from their Rodong-1 arsenal could deal some damage on Japanese mainland, considering that missile intercepter technology isn't very advanced. Unless you can intercept every missile launched, there will always be a chance of casualty and property damage. Thus, it is best to take the situation more cautiously but doing nothing isn't right either..
Truth is that North Korea didn't just started their military ambitions but decades back. Only problem is that there are new developments and these new developments are definitely not a good sign. They are going to restart their Yongbyon nuclear facility very soon.

The fact remains that no one wants to pick up the bill on bringing NK to the 21st century. Not SK, not Japan, not the US, not the PRC. As I said before, it's the elephant in the living room which no one wants to talk about, but the thing refuses to go away.
