I was wondering if anyone practiced this art and what they believe it does.
Some believe that they meditate whenever they're doing what they love, e.g. singing, driving, video games.
Some perform it with complete void of thought. Peace.
I add visualizations and intent whenever I meditate.
As above, so below.
Live.. like you're going to die tomorrow. Learn.. like you'll live forever~ <3
Why meditate? I can just sleep.
Why meditate? It's basically doing nothing. Why do nothing when you can do something productive. Like posting on forums.
Yeah,i practice meditation a lot.......at school.
Focusing on something to clear the mind and relieve stress.
jo momma
I meditate right after I wake up...
It really relaxes me and gets rid of most headaches.
Nah I dont do that I just go on long ass rage rants about how most things are really stupid and how it makes my life a living hell. Really works for anything people, work, school, or whatever is just pissing you off at the time. Ranting on about random shit is where it is at. Some people might think you are a idiot or something but its so refreshing just to blow up when your butter knife falls on the floor . People are like "Good god what the hell happened to that guy?" and then you rant the shit out of that knife... I swear by it.
Yes I used to, people underestimate how therapeutic it is, It's not just about relieving stress and being calm it's extremely good to feel complete with yourself, it helps you let go of your ego and is definitely something people should try, preferably without music and light and stuff for the first few times.
I am constantly meditating.
I do not meditate, none in the least. But, I do see the reason for it.
Keeping a cool head, and thinking stuff out. More often than acting on pure guts. Can cause one to be more rational, than violent. I personally think everyone should have a way to maintain a cool head, most of the time. So, they can think stuff out more often than not. But, you / everyone has their moments of insanity....even I am no expectation xD
The past is the past, don't let it cloud who you are now.
I do it, sort of. It's kinda hard to explain but I'll try anyway.
I worry too much about other peoples problems, which tends to stress me out and/or get me down because really there's nothing I can do as it's not my problem to begin with.
So, a few years ago I took up the habit of "centering" myself whenever I notice I'm thinking too much on pointless stuff that has nothing to do with me.
Basically I take a moment to sit down and introspect "where" I am, what's on my mind and how much of it actually concerns me in some way or other. Once this gets me to the conclusion that something isn't my problem I'll still feel sorry for whoever it actually concerns but the whole thing is off my mind. It also helps me overcome anxiety as I usually see that there's nothing to be afraid of.
How's "The Mad Hatrack" for a secret identity?

I've heard boards of Canada.. but ii nvr tried it with meditating... maybe ii will sometime (:
I've dabbled with meditation a few times in my life - and I've truly felt what I could describe as the "effects" twice.
Once was after I did something very intense for the first time. It was something I was scared, slightly embarrassed about and involved speaking in front of a large audience very honestly. When I finished, I could not remember what I had even said. When I got home that evening, I sat down in the dark in front of the fireplace that still had embers crackling and meditated for a few minutes. I was able to completely lose track of my conscious thoughts very briefly and when I opened my eyes I had a feeling of calm that I've never been able to reproduce since. It was an incredible experience.
The second was during a sunrise group meditation with some friends, feeling the sun rise on the beach and listening to the waves - it was also fairly powerful but I wasn't quite as empty minded during that - more focused on sounds and smells.
oh but did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

Nodoka's love is even more innocent then most of her classmates' teasing. Even kissing him took her working up all of her courage, and that's as wild as those two ever got.
Kodomo no Jikan deals with far more mature subjects, even rape and the like. There is just no way to say these two are the same. Negima aproaches elder/younger relationships in a joking matter, Kodomo no Jikan throws jokes but also a hell of a lot of serious issues in the mix.

You misunderstand part of my point.
Clearly Honya is in love with him, Yue is also in love, but tend to restrain herself.
But here there "hitting" on him, but as Negima is mostly comedy, so of course here, it can't compare to "serious" manga (like KnJ)
But it's loving a 10 year old boy and trying to date him.
As for the others, just like you said, it is just teasing, and that doesn't count. Hm... not very convincing. Just go "hit" on a 10 year old girl just for "teasing"... you go to jail...
But what I was saying is that we saw Anya ( 10 year old by the way) and Honya and others flat-chested girls ( like the twins, that look like 10 years old on the inside and outside) ... "nude" (well censored, but that's not the issue here.)
So? Why nobody tell something here? When we saw Rin (from KnJ) topless people were going "WTF/OMG..." , but the scene itself was nothing much.(she just slept from the tree and her shirt got caught in a branch... )
But well, as it was said, she is a girl, negi a boy. ( Well KnJ is just an exception I think, because there is other manga with "lolikon" like Toriko Aigan Shojo, but nobody give a damn about it.)
But that don't explain why nobody tell a thing about the "lolikon" in Negima.
Oh well... it doesn't matter...
My point here is that Asuna MUST be with NAGI and no other.

Biggest difference here is that all the people in 3-A, well developped they may be, are all still just kids themselves. All of them are no more then a few years ahead of him. In KoJ, it is a clearly adult person who has a romantic relation with a clearly young girl. Big difference there.
KoJ got the kick in the teeth because its a manga that actually centers around controversional subjects, while Negima merely has the ocasional one tossed in, and even then mostly as a humor ingredient. A lot of people were already going "OMG/WTF" about a lot of things in KoJ, so naked Rin was only one more ingredient to the pile, and got pointed out just so they could have more examples to go OMG/WTF about.
And I still stand firmly that Negi will end up with Asuna. Lead girl, clearly connected with Negi, lots of suggestive scenes... nope, even the recent 'onee-chan' shakes that (speaking of which, do note how his emphasis is on protecting Asuna, and not... say... Nodoka?)

Ah I see. You do have a point here. It's all kids here. ^^
For Negi, he's going to end up with Anya anyway. From the begining I was rotting for the 2 of them.
EDIT: But how do I say that, Asuna is the lead female chara, so It's obvious that it is "Asuna and the others". >_>
But, I think, for Negi to have feelings for a girl, he must grow up. Maybe 3-4 years later. ( I really hope that the author don't make a time jump on the last chapters of Negima, I really hate -big time jump) So the only one now for him is Anya his childhood friend.
Note also that he speak only to Anya casually ( This was noted when Anya show up before the trip to Wales, by Incho. ) .

However, in their case the whole 'close friends love-triangle' might actually work against them. In Holland we have a saying "If two dogs are fighting over one bone, the third one will run of with it."
But yes, you're right, Negi does speak casually towards Anya. I wouldn't expect anything less from childhood friends. That'd be awkward.
It's what makes Childhood Friends such dangerous romance participants.

I don't quite understand when you tell me:
I was just saying that he can go "all out" for someone else, even if it is "Asuna and the others".
When he reply he always tell "I like Asuna.. eh...uh...ano... and also Honya, Yue, Kaede, Ku and all the others." >_>
But that don't mean he will be with her.
Well, maybe he'll die >_> or he will be alone. (no pairing)

Well Anya certainly has some amount of romantic feelings for Negi. you don't just fly of for Japan to have a little chat for one, and lets not even begin with the constant fits of jealousy.
And Natsumi/Kotarou is actually shaping up to be a proper ship in the manga.

shaping up you say ... as far as i remember it set sail some time this spring allready :P
but well ... the major diffence between how Negima do it and KnJ do it is Context ... Negima plays it purely for laughs while KnJ have a heavy background story, overloaded with taboos, which at any given point (like once per frame at times) shows it's head ... taboos KnJ juggles with is such as pedophilia ... preteens' knowlegde of sexual feelings ... Preteens' willingness to submit to said feelings, with or without the other part wanting to (rape, whereas the rape victim is the one likely to get blamed for the rape)... angst ... evil kids ... you name it.
Negima such none of these fields short of a brush which as said is played purely for laughs, a think that helps Negima playing it for laughs is also that Negi at the same time is that knowing about everything while being bluntly innocent about more than half of the sexual innuendo he is attacked with

Like in School Rumble ( if you watched the show) when there is always this confusing thing between Harima and Tenma, in the begining you laught all your might, but after a while it became "boring".
Here at the start it was funny, but after a while it became repetitive...
(If everyone was thinking the same that be boring. ^^ )
Recall the time when Anya learned that Negi was at a girls-only school, or when she learned that Negi was coming back ( immediatly starting to brush her hairs), or when Konoka was teasing her.

What I meant to say is that it's interesting that Negi always notes Asuna's name first, then the group. Now why would he always mention Asuna first instead of someone else? Obviously Asuna matters to him more then the other people in his class.
Now granted, this can be taken any way you like, but to me its just another point to the ship that is Negi/Asuna.

Ahhh sorry, english is not my primary language so it's not easy for me to spot the nuance in this language. I apologize.
I do see your point there.
It's obvious that Negi view Asuna differently than the rest of the class and his pactio-harem girls.
She's the first girl kicking him, making a pactio, living with him ( and Konoka), going everywere he go , always pointing his errors (with Chisame afterward), conforting him when he's not okay (Chisame also for this part) etc.

ANd man the way Asuna cried when Negi was stabbed through the chest, she went completely hysterical! Anyways I was just wondering if the mangaka will actually end the series by making negi end up with a single girl like he did in Love Hina. Also as much as I support Asun/Negi the recent thing Fate said about Asuna having false personality, false body...makes me wonder if Asuna isn't too old than she already is for Negi. I hope this wont make them drift further awy.

For the "false" thing, isn't it because cigarette-man-whatever-his-name-is request that Takamichi "erase" all the sad part that Asuna lived while in the magical world. So then, when she begins in Mahora-gakuen, she is a whole "new" person? Just like we saw (in flashback) the first day she was presented in class!? (when Asuna and Incho got into a cat-fight immediatly on the first day.)
So that means at that time her "personality" was already altered. (By Takamichi)
Fate say (at least from the traduction I got) :
"That girl living at mahora for 8 years have a false personality, false memory, a doll with it all glued to her"
The "a doll with all glued" is a metaphor, I think.
Beacause her memory of the magical world was erased by Takamichi, so her personality got reconstructed and she got to smile, and be a baka-red. xD
But that not something new, we already know all that from long ago. ( especially from Asuna dreams when she was at Mahora.)
For her age, I can't recall at what exact time during the war she was saved by Nagi and his friends, and at what exact time cigarette-man died and Takamichi began to take care of her. So basically her age must be 6-8 years old (when Nagi saved her) + time till end of the war + time from end of the war to Mahora ( 0 year?) + From Mahora till the first chapter of the manga.
But... I don't see something new in what Fate was talking about!?

The great war in the magic world ended 10 years ago. She's at least 10 years older than she is now. Many pages ago, we were talking about how she may have started aging after starting a new life.
EDIT: Oops, that's right. It was 20 years.

Great war was 20 years ago she have 8 years of false life ... 20-8=12 ... now ... anyone got a clue what they used those 12 years for other than learning Kanka
well ... she's roughly 7 years old doing the war ... 12 years later she is shipped to Mahora elementary under the Guardianship of Takamichi still being these ~7 years old ... and from there 8 years on top of it of usual aging till her 'present time' age of 15 ... well ... those 12 years have fizzled away in some way and we have no failsafe way to know weather she aged normally before the war ... end of the story is that her true age is 27 + whichever lays over those 12 years of not growing between the war and Mahora
not really any news but its spelled a bit clearer here than it have beforehand

How to get rid of hemorrhoids – Dr. Hemorrhoids are frequently seen in primary care clinics, emergency wards, gastroenterology units and surgical clinics, but how do you know when hemorrhoids have developed and when you should see a doctor? These are common concerns among people who develop hemorrhoids and don't know how to deal with and treat the pain. Thankfully, there are natural treatments for how to get rid of hemorrhoids fast, and starting there may help relieve these literal pains in the butt.
The risk of developing hemorrhoids is higher in white adults than in black adults, how Good is Witch Hazel for Soothing Will what to use to get rid of hemorrhoids make you constipated Pain? Constipation also has neurological causes, but it will photos of thrombosed external hemorrhoids make you constipated a relatively minor procedure that doctors recommend when all other treatment methods have failed. When a problem like hemorrhoids crops up, truths I often find. But how exactly they affect you depends on what type of hemorrhoid we're talking about. The choice to withhold can be due to factors such as fear of pain, there are relatively painless procedures that can be done to treat hemorrhoids. Measures that may help include drinking enough fluids, how do I shrink my hemorrhoids?
To get rid of hemorrhoids, it's important that you avoid constipation and hard stool, which can be done by eating plenty of high-fiber foods to make stools soft. Eat foods such as avocados, berries, figs, Brussels sprouts, acorn squash, beans, lentils, nuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds and quinoa. Dehydration can lead to constipation because water or fluids are required for fiber to travel smoothly through the digestive tract. Many studies, including one published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, indicate that fluid loss and fluid restriction can increase constipation, which can worsen hemorrhoid symptoms. Fermented foods like kefir, kimchi and raw, pastured yogurt can help provide the digestive system with healthy bacteria that are essential for proper elimination. Alcohol can be dehydrating and hard on the digestive system, making hemorrhoid symptoms worse.
And spicy foods can intensify the symptoms of hemorrhoids. Some studies show that both alcohol and spicy foods consumption serve as risk factors for hemorrhoids, although the data isn't consistent. To be safe, limit these foods until the hemorrhoids have cleared up. Straining during a bowel movement can be painful and make hemorrhoid problems even worse. Don't wait too long before going to the toilet. Pay attention to your body's signals, and when you feel an urge to use the bathroom, go right away.
Otherwise the stool will become harder, and this will automatically make you push harder. When you're at the toilet, take your time and relax your body. Constipation forces you to strain while using the bathroom, and that will increase the pain and inflammation of the hemorrhoid. To avoid constipation, drink plenty of fluids, engage in regular physical activity and eat high-fiber foods that make stools soft. These steps also help answer how to get rid of hemorrhoids or prevent them in the first place. Spending too much time on the toilet can worsen hemorrhoids. If stool is left behind after you wipe, it can aggravate hemorrhoids even more, which is why it's important to cleanse yourself thoroughly after going to the bathroom.
Do not, however, cleanse yourself too roughly or use soaps that contain harsh chemicals, alcohol or perfumes. Instead, use plain water to wipe yourself and then dry your bottom afterward. Butcher's broom can help reduce swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids. Horse chestnut is commonly used as an herbal remedy for poor blood flow and swelling. According to research published in Alternative Medicine Review, horse chestnut has been shown to improve microcirculation, capillary flow and vascular tone, all of which are helpful for how to get rid of hemorrhoids. Witch hazel is a plant that's used for its skin-healing, astringent and antioxidant properties. Topical application of witch hazel can help soothe hemorrhoids by reducing inflammation and pain.
Psyllium husk is a natural source of pure fiber that's sold in powder form. Studies suggest that plant fibers like psyllium husk can reduce the frequency of bleeding when using the bathroom and help avoid constipation or straining. When using psyllium husk, make sure to drink plenty of water. Cypress essential oil stops excess blood flow and promotes the clotting of blood. This is due to its hemostatic and astringent properties. Cypress oil helps with the contraction of blood vessels, and it tightens tissues. It's also known to reduce anxiety, which can help to relieve constipation for some people. Helichrysum essential oil helps stimulate the secretion of gastric juices that are needed to break down food and prevent digestive issues.
It also serves as an anti-inflammatory agent when applied topically. To use helichrysum, rub two to three drops into the abdomen or area of inflammation. Now, you might be wondering why it's so important to know how to get rid of hemorrhoids, especially if you've never experienced hemorrhoid symptoms before. Well, it's because no one is immune to hemorrhoids. I bet you didn't know that we all have hemorrhoids, but it's true. Hemorrhoids are normal cushions of tissue that are filled with blood vessels and found at the end of the rectum, just inside the anus. Together with a circular muscle called the anal sphincter, hemorrhoids help control bowel movement.
The two basic types include internal and external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids are more common, and external hemorrhoids tend to feel like a large lump around the outside of the anus that can make sitting painful. Bleeding is fairly common with a swollen external hemorrhoid. Swollen internal hemorrhoids might come out of the anus and can then be seen as soft lumps of tissue. These are called protruding or prolapsed hemorrhoids. Larger hemorrhoids can make it feel like something is pushing against the anus, which can make sitting very uncomfortable. Grade 1: Slightly enlarged hemorrhoids that cannot be seen from outside the anus. Grade 2: Larger hemorrhoids that may come outside of the anus at times, like when passing stool, but then go back in on their own. Grade 3: Hemorrhoids that come out of the anus when passing stool or engaging in physical activity and do not go back in on their own.
They can only be pushed back inside the anus. Grade 4: Hemorrhoids that are always outside the anus and can no longer be pushed back inside. A small bit of the anal lining may also come down from the lower rectum and out of the anus, which is known as rectal prolapse. The most common symptom of hemorrhoids is anal bleeding, and chief complaints include a perianal mass protruding from the anus and anal discharge. A particularly painful form of Grade 4 hemorrhoids comes in the form of a thrombosed hemorrhoid. The thrombosis responsible for a thrombosed hemorrhoid will often reabsorb within two to three weeks without major treatment.
People with hemorrhoids are at an increased risk of portal hypertension. Portal hypertension is an increase in the blood pressure within a system of veins called the portal venous system. Most swollen hemorrhoids do go away, given that you follow a wise regimen of diet and bathroom habits, as well as any other additional treatment methods recommended by your physician. If symptoms continue for more than a week or two and haven't been improved by home treatment, it's probably time to visit the doctor. For those who already have frequent hemorrhoids, dietary intervention may be one of the best ways to get rid of external and internal hemorrhoids once and for all. These conditions will be ruled out by your doctor when you go for a rectal exam if they aren't the cause. People are sometimes confused by the difference between diverticulitis and internal hemorrhoids. Diverticulitis is a condition in which sacs or pouches within the colon walls become inflamed and press into the colon. An increase in intra-abdominal pressure during pregnancy or when constipated and sitting on the toilet for a prolonged period of time while straining are major contributing factors for the development of hemorrhoids.

The Latest Liverpool FC News and Views
This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Jonjo Shelvey insists he chose to sign for Swansea in the hope he would play more.
The England U21 midfielder has already made five starts under Swans boss Michael Laudrup since heading to South Wales in a £5million transfer in early July.
Shelvey was only included in Brendan Rodgers' starting line-up for Liverpool games in the Premier League nine times last season. He made another nine starts in Europa League and domestic cup fixtures, but with Reds captain Steven Gerrard his main rival for an attacking midfield berth, he appreciates the competition was fierce.
"It's a big thing, trying to knock Steven out of the team," Shelvey told the Daily Mail.
"If you had a really good game, the next week you might still be out because the likes of Gerrard are coming back. Imagine that. And you can't argue with it - it's crazy how good he is."
Despite that, Shelvey says he was "pretty excited" when he reported back to Melwood for pre-season training - but the same evening, his agent called to tell him about Swansea's interest.
Shelvey added: "Brendan told me I could stay there and see what happened. It really was my choice. I wasn't pushed.
"But I wanted to play football. I would hate to be one of those sitting on my money. It is in my character, the way I was brought up. Even Brendan said, 'You're not one of these squad players happy to stand around'."
The 21-year-old says he was given positive signs over how many minutes he would get under Laudrup - "he told me if I play well in a game, then I will start the next game" - and having won his first senior England cap last summer, he believes he can recapture the acclaim that he once enjoyed.
"It's about confidence and knowing you'll get game time if you do well," said Shelvey, who is set to line up his former club when Swansea host Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium in Monday Night Football.
"I wanted to play, to get back the status that I used to have. Now I am playing."

"Mind of a Rampage Killer"
What makes a person walk into a theater or a church or a classroom full of students and open fire? What combination of circumstances compels a human being to commit the most inhuman of crimes? Can science in any way help us understand these horrific events and provide clues as to how to prevent them in the future? As the nation tries to understand the tragic events at Newtown, NOVA correspondent Miles O'Brien separates fact from fiction, investigating new theories that the most destructive rampage killers are driven most of all, not by the urge to kill, but the wish to die. Could suicide and the desire to go out in a media-fueled blaze of glory be the main motivation? How much can science tell us about a brain at risk for violence? Most importantly, can we recognize dangerous minds in time -- and stop the next Newtown?. D

This attachment creates a cute little border for any card. It is a little more time consuming to use these Sew Easy attachments...but it is so much more custom than just a plain stitched line. love the creativity!
This piercer is really nice once you have it on cardstock. It took me a minutes to get my hearts the way I wanted them, but once finished it's really nice.
Makes such a cute border of hearts, and it is so easy to do!
Love the hearts! So cute!
I love the idea of these, but 3 of the 6 I bought didn't even rotate and the other two had flat points on most of the piercers so they didn't work either. Overall a great concept, but a super cheap product...bummer!

Tutorial: Debug Process Exception Reporting
Wing's debugger reports any exceptions that would be printed when running the code outside of the debugger.
Try this out by continuing execution of the debug process with the Debug toolbar item or Start / Continue item in the Debug menu.
Wing will stop on an incorrect line of code in PrintAsHTML and will report the error in the Exceptions tool:
Notice that this tool highlights the current stack frame and that you can click on frames to navigate the exception backtrace. Whenever you are stopped on an exception, the Debugger Status indicator in the lower left of Wing's main window turns red.
Advanced Options
Wing Pro and Wing Personal's debugger provides several exception handling modes, which differ in how they determine which exceptions should be reported. It is also possible to add specific exception types to always report or never report. This is described in more detail in Managing Exceptions. Most users will not need to alter these options, but being aware of them is useful.

I needed Bilal Powell of the New York Jets to amass 74 fantasy points Monday night against the Tennessee Titans to win my Fantasy Football league semifinal. That would roughly be 380 yards rushing/receiving and six touchdowns. He fell 352 yards and six touchdowns short.
I knew that wasn't going to happen, and my season has come to an end. Merril Hoge's Tie Knot (my team) will fail to win a championship and I will retire from Fantasy Football without winning that "elusive" league title.
That's right, I'm announcing my Fantasy career is over. Please refrain from sadness. It's time.
But it wasn't my lack of championships over the course of a decade-plus that brought me to this decision. It wasn't the hundreds of dollars invested in league registration costs that went unrecovered or the fact that Adrian Peterson's Monday Night Football fumble in overtime of a Week 16 loss to Chicago in 2009 cost me that elusive title by a fraction of a point that pushed me into this decision.
Want to know what did? I realized Fantasy Football is dumb.
"But Vince, why did you do something you thought was dumb for ten years," you may ask.
Well, I didn't fully realize it was dumb until this season. Sometimes you learn as you go. Hell, I was married for seven years, too.
I played Fantasy Football for the camaraderie, the fun of getting together and drafting a team while tipping back a few and playfully trash-talking others in the league. Competition was very low on the list of reasons I played. For the most part it was fun; a little frustrating at times (especially when one guy in your league dedicated his entire existence to roster moves — every league has that guy), but fun.
So maybe calling it dumb isn't entirely accurate. The way most people react Fantasy Football shoots right past dumb and lands somewhere in the ridiculously stupid category.
Something I read Monday really pushed me over the edge though.
Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens struggled Sunday in a loss to the Denver Broncos, carrying 12 times for 38 yards and catching three passes for three yards. For owners with Rice on their rosters, that wasn't good enough and many let the running back know it.
After the loss, Rice tweeted the following, which is a sentiment that I'm sure other NFL players and countless other Americans felt Sunday:
Life is real people after the game was over today all I could think about was the families and victims in Newtown Connecticut.
— Ray Rice (@RayRice27) December 17, 2012
What followed was appalling. One twitter user suggested that Rice used the Newtown massacre as an excuse for his poor fantasy performance. To which Rice replied:
People had the nerve to tweet me about fantasy football when the people and families of Newtown CT are the ones who need us all Right Now
— Ray Rice (@RayRice27) December 17, 2012
Fantasy football is FAKE compared to what the families in Newtown CT are going through
— Ray Rice (@RayRice27) December 17, 2012
Another user replied to Rice, "irrelevant, do your job." Rice blocked that follower and responded one more time.
So if you feel like tweeting me about a loss or how I let you down in fantasy just unfollow me. My prayers and thoughts are with Newtown CT
— Ray Rice (@RayRice27) December 17, 2012
This isn't an isolated example, it's just one that is more visible because Rice mentioned the unspeakable horror that unfolded last Friday in Connecticut and expressed genuine human emotion about it. Every week, morons with Twitter muscles feel like they have the right to admonish athletes who "failed them" on Sunday.
It makes me wonder why any athlete is on Twitter. And it's the final factor in me giving up Fantasy Football forever.
I won't miss it.

Opened a 1999 Andrew Will Sorella last night that I purchased recently after sampling my first Sorella at a trade tasting. 'Sorella' is winemaker Chris Camarda's proprietary name for a Bordeaux blend that seems to range anywhere from the 65% cabernet/25% merlot plus the other usual suspects that were in this bottle to the 80% cabernet/10% cab franc plus that make up the current 2009 release.
And this is how it works up here in the Pacific Northest Westest: a fantastic Bordeaux-like wine is being made right under my nose but I have to stumble over it all by myself because most of the people I share wine with don't share my preference for European style wines. Or if they do, they don't buy Washington wines.
This one's a gem. Deep garnet-hued red color hints at some age. On the nose, which is delightfully effusive and attractive, red fruit, spice, leather and just a touch of barnyard tricks the DH (darling hubby) into believing I've served him Bordeaux. There's also cedar, graphite, tobacco and cherry pie going on. The balance is good but better with the first glass than the last, where the finish gets a bit clipped and suggests the wine has peaked. We were nonetheless impressed, and I'll be buying more vintages for our cellar.

Outerwall Inc (OUTR) Hits New 52-week Low During February 11 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Outerwall Inc (OUTR) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $25.66, Outerwall Inc dropped to $24.81 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $25.48 a share for a loss of 2.11%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Outerwall Inc saw 394,702 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 16.61 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 661,954 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Outerwall Inc enters the new trading day with a market cap of 423.33 million, a 50-day SMA of $37.81 and a 200-day SMA of $60.60
Outerwall Inc now has a P/E ratio of 10.8.

No one can accuse the Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball team of trying to take the easy way out for the 2007-2008 season.
Trips to Southeastern Conference foes Arkansas and Vanderbilt are on the non-conference schedule along with visits from Bowling Green State, which knocked Vanderbilt out of the NCAA Tournament last season, Evansville and Tennessee State.
The Lady Bisons are also headed to Honolulu, Hawaii Thanksgiving week to play in the University of Hawaii's tournament scheduled for Nov. 23-25. Possible opponents are Virginia, Minnesota, Texas, Kentucky, Hartford and Alabama-Birmingham.
"The only game we know about for sure is that we open with the University of Hawaii,' Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett said. "The trip to Hawaii is a great team bonding experience. We have to book it two years in advance. We don't know what kind of competition we are getting into until we are already in the tournament. This is a very strong field."
Also planned is a trip to Manhattan, Kans., to play in Kansas State's Tournament from Nov. 30-Dec.1. Also in the field are Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Texas-El Paso.
"The things worked out this may be the toughest schedule we have ever played," Bennett said. "It's nice to have Vanderbilt and Tennessee State here in town. Even though they are away games, they are local."
The Lady Bisons open the season with exhibition games at Allen Arena against Harding Nov. 3 and Alabama-Huntsville Nov. 5.
The regular season begins on the road Nov. 9 at the Tennessee-Martin in Martin, Tenn., followed by Arkansas Nov. 11 in Fayetteville, Ark.
The regular season home opener in Allen Arena is Nov. `13 against Fisk University. Bowling Green State makes its first visit to campus Nov. 15.
Visits from Murray State, Dec. 15, and Evansville, Jan. 24, complete the non-conference schedule at Allen Arena.
The Lady Bisons travel to Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 4 to face Samford. They take short trips to Tennessee State (Dec. 20) and Vanderbilt (Dec. 22) to close out their non-conference road schedule.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is divided into divisions this season. The Lady Bisons will play teams in their division twice and teams in the other division once.
The Lady Bisons open the A-Sun portion of the schedule on the road with stops at Gardner-Webb Jan. 3 and Campbell Jan. 7.
Three straight A-Sun road games at home are next with Belmont visiting Jan. 12 followed by ETSU Jan. 19 and USC Upstate Jan. 21.
The Lady Bisons then play the six teams in the other conference starting with visits to Kennesaw State (Jan. 26) and Mercer (Jan. 28) and Florida Gulf Coast Feb. 4 in Fort Myers, Fla. The Lady Bisons will play the other three teams in the opposite division at Allen Arena starting with Stetson Feb. 2. Jacksonville visits Feb. 9 and North Florida will be on campus Feb. 11.
The final five games of the season are against teams in the Lady Bisons division. The Lady Bisons are on the road at ETSU Feb. 16 and USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C. on Feb. 18. They return to Nashville for a rematch at Belmont in the "Battle of the Boulevard".
The Lady Bisons close out the schedule with a pair of home games. Gardner-Webb visits Allen Arena Feb. 28 and Campbell comes to town March 1.
"The conference is going to be very competitive as usual," Bennett said. "Belmont was strong last season. ETSU has a lot of very athletic players returning. Jacksonville is on the rise. And then we have the new teams in Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate."
The Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament will be held March 5-8 at Allen Arena.

MONTREAL – The air went out of the Montreal Canadiens after they clinched a playoff spot almost two weeks ago.
Centre Lars Eller hopes they get some energy back as they close the NHL regular season with three games on the road.
"We lost track when we started to take our foot off the gas a bit and started to think it was going to be a bit easier," Eller said Monday. "We were a top team, but once you take a per cent or two off of your effort, you lose games.
"And because of the system we play, all five men have to work together, and if we don't do that, we're going to get exposed and scored on."
Opponents have been filling the Montreal net since the forwards stopped skating, the defence stopped winning battles and the goaltenders started waving at shots. They have been outscored 25-12 and gone 1-4-0 since wrapping up a playoff spot with a win in Buffalo on April 11.
Goaltender Carey Price, who was lifted twice and let in 19 goals in than span, got most of the blame, but he wasn't helped by the listless teammates playing in front of him.
The Canadiens (27-12-5) will try to solidify home ice for at least the first round of playoffs and get their game back on track as they play Tuesday night in New Jersey, Thursday night in Winnipeg and end the regular season Saturday night in Toronto.
"Tough stretches happen and ours came at this time," said Eller. "As long as we're ready for the playoffs I don't see a big problem.
"But we're putting a lot of emphasis on taking it one game at a time this week."
In a normal week, they would have had Sunday off after their 5-1 loss on home ice to Washington on Saturday, but coach Michel Therrien wanted full practices both Sunday and Monday before the road trip.
As general manager Marc Begevin watched alone from about a dozen rows up in the Bell Centre seats, they worked on defensive and neutral zone play, as well as special teams.
The aim was to get back to being the quick skating and puck-moving team that built a 26-9-5 record through its first 40 games.
The Canadiens have conceded eight power-play goals in the last five games, while scoring on only three of 24 chances with the man advantage.
After juggling lines liberally in the last two weeks, Therrien has gone back to the pre-slump units, which should give them three balanced scoring lines.
Tomas Plekanec has Rene Bourque and Brian Gionta back on his flanks on the first unit, David Desharnais is back with wingers Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher and Eller centres Alex Galchenyuk and Michael Ryder.
The rookie Galchenyuk is perhaps the hottest Canadien of late with six goals and two assists in his last nine games despite limited ice time. Pacioretty, despite sluggish moments, has six points in his last six contests to take over the team lead with 37 points.
Last season, the line of Desharnais, Pacioretty and Erik Cole was by far Montreal's best, but there hasn't been quite the same magic this season. Cole was traded to Dallas for Ryder in February with only six points in his first 19 games. Desharnais has scored once in his last 19 games.
"Some of you (reporters) don't think we work well together but I think we've had a good year," said Pacioretty. "Our minutes are down and we're helping the team in other ways.
"Our team has a handful of guys who have put up numbers, so it's not going to be one-sided stats like it was last year. That's the way everyone wants it. We're not selfish people. We like it when other guys step up."
Underperforming Travis Moen is off the fourth line in favour of Colby Armstrong, who was skating with Jeff Halpern and Brandon Prust.
Therrien also elected to change up his defence pairs, which have been reeling since hits leader Alexei Emelin went down with a season-ending knee injury on April 6.
P.K. Subban is now with veteran Francis Bouillon, while Josh Gorges is with recently returned Raphael Diaz and Andrei Markov is with Yannick Weber.
Markov especially has missed his partner Emelin, going minus-8 in seven games without him.
Markov was named on Monday as Montreal's candidate for the Masterton Trophy for sportsmanship, dedication and perseverance, an award won last season by Pacioretty for his comeback from a career-threatening neck injury.
The 34-year-old blue-liner missed most of the last two seasons having the same knee rebuilt twice.
He has played in all 45 games this season, averaging a team-high 24:18 of ice time per game and putting up nine goals and 18 assists.
His vision and precision passing is intact, but he has slowed considerably from his pre-injury days.
Therrien skated around a question about Markov's play since the Emelin injury, saying opposing teams have adjusted to him, but his offensive game is still sharp.
"Right now I just want to put (the injuries) behind me and look forward and try to be better and get back to where I was before," said Markov. "Not every game went the way I want to see, but I tried to play my best and tried to enjoy every game.
"I'm happy I'm healthy now. I still have room to improve and I'm going to work on that in the future."
Therrien is exasperated at fans and media who have been demanding that Galchenyuk get more ice time. The third overall pick in last June's draft has nine goals and 15 assists while playing a carefully managed 12:15 per game.
He has looked dazzling at times, but Therrien said playing more would not necessarily mean more goals for the 19-year-old at this point in his development.
"I really like how things are going with Alex," he said. "We're happy. We're satisfied. Everything is going as we planned it."


text: Demand Repair Needed to Reverse Bearish Markets June 26, 2013 03:07 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email The U.S. has lost its competitive advantage for corn, which means farmers may need to sell theirs fast. Dan Basse, AgResource Company president, says the mentality of the market has dramatically changed. "In the last 6 or 7 years, we have dramatically increased production of corn and other grains outside of the United States," he says. "High prices have encouraged places like Ukraine, Brazil and Argentina to really produce more corn and more soy." He says the U.S. has seen its market position decline. "We are now only exporting 28% of our corn, soy and wheat production overseas – that's a record low. We used to export over 50%," Basse says. Basse says his company's expectation is that prices will slide as the U.S. tries to buy back some of its competitive position in the world market. "That's somewhere probably under $4.50 for corn and under $10 for soybeans." He says, for the first time in five years, their advice is to price this year's crop, and even 2014's crop. "We're concerned about a much more bearish landscape, as our demand drivers have lessened." Several marketing advisors agree. AgWeb's Hedge Position Monitor, which was updated June 19, shows that the average hedge position for 2013 corn is 53%. For 2013 soybeans, the eight participating advisors have an average of 64% sold. High Prices…Again…Maybe? For the high prices that farmers saw last summer to return, Basse says, a drought as severe as last summer's will have to occur. "We'd need a national corn yield of somewhere around 140 bu./acre to keep corn prices above $6 per bu. If we want to get above $7, we'd need a yield around 125 bu./acre, or like last year's drought." He says that for the last three crop years, the U.S. has lost almost 7 billion bushels of corn to weather. "Tell me where prices would be today if we had normal weather," he says.

DailyDirt: Antibiotic Resistance Is (Not) Futile...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Antibiotic resistance sounds like a new problem, but ancient microbes have been found with genes that make them resistant to modern drugs. DNA from 30,000-year-old permafrost shows that there were "superbugs" well before we even discovered antibiotic compounds. [url]
- Waste water from various sources can obviously cause antibiotic-resistant bacteria to emerge. Heavy metal contamination in waste water may be a contributing factor, not just waste from residential sewage systems. [url]
- If you're looking for a hand sanitizer that doesn't irritate your skin, try some quaternary ammonium salt formulations. Sure, you could use alcohol-based lotions or diluted chlorine solutions, but those ingredients can dry out your skin if you use them a lot. [url]

Je Tsongkhapa.

Je Tsongkhapa.
Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), whose name means "The Man from Onion Valley", was a famous teacher of Tibetan Buddhism whose activities led to the formation of the Geluk school. He is also known by his ordained name Lobsang Drakpa (blo bzang grags pa) or simply as Je Rinpoche (rje rin po che).
Tsongkhapa heard Buddha's teachings from masters of all Tibetan Buddhist traditions, and received lineages transmitted in the major schools.
His main source of inspiration was the Kadampa tradition, the legacy of Atiśa. Based on Tsongkhapa's teaching, the two distinguishing characteristics of the Gelug tradition are:
* The union of Sutra and Tantra, and
* The emphasis on Vinaya (the moral code of discipline)
Born into a nomadic family in Amdo province in 1357, Tsongkhapa received the layman ordination (skt. Upasaka) at the age of three from the 4th Karmapa, Rolpe Dorje, and was entitled "Kunga Nyingpo" (kun dga' snying po). At the age of seven he took the novice ordination (skt. Sramanera, tib. Getsul) from Choje Dhondup Rinchen (chos rje don 'grub rin chen) and was given the name "Lobsang Drakpa" (blo bzang grags pa). It was to his credit then, that at such an early age, he was able to receive the empowerments of Heruka Chakrasamvara, Hevajra, and Yamantaka, three of the most prominent wrathful deities of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as being able to recite a great many Sutras, not the least of which was Manjushri-nama-samgiti. He would go on to be a great student of the Buddhist Vinaya, the doctrine of behaviour, and even later of the Six Yogas of Naropa, the Kalachakra Tantra, and the acclaimed practice of Mahamudra. At the age of 24 Tsongkhapa received the ordination of a full monk (skt. Bhikshu, tib. Gelong) in the Sakya Tradition.
From Zhönnu Lodrö (gzhon nu blo gros) and Rendawa (red mda' pa) he received the lineage of the Pramanavarttika transmitted by Sakya Pandita (sa skya pandita). He mastered all the courses of study at Drikung Monastery in Central Tibet, a major Kagyü Center, and travelled extensively in search of knowledge, studying with more than 100 teachers of all the existing traditions all topics of the doctrine, including Dzogchen.
Tsongkhapa, who was considered by many as an emanation of Atisha, received the Kadam lineages, and studied the major Sarma (gsar ma) Tantras (the Tantras from the "New Translation School") under Sakya and Kagyü masters. He also studied with Nyingma siddha Legpey Dorje (Wylie: legs gyi rdo rje), and the Zalupa Chökyi-pal (zha lu pa chos kyi dpal), and his main Dzogchen master was Lodrak Drupchen Kekyi Dorje (lho brag grub chen las kyi rdo je), also known as Namkha Gyaltsen (nam mkha' rgyal mtshan, 1326-1401).
In addition to his studies, he engaged in extensive meditation retreats. He is reputed to have performed millions of prostrations, mandala offerings and other forms of purification practice. Tsongkhapa often had visions of meditational deities and especially of Manjushri, with whom he would communicate directly to clarify difficult points of the scriptures.
As such an accomplished scholar and practitioner, he was effective as a teacher in Tibetan Buddhism, and became a leading figure amongst his peers as well as his students. Many of his teachers eventually joined him as students, such as Rendawa, Umapa, the Nyingma Lama Lhodrak, and they taught and revered each other. Because of his strong influence, compassion, and wisdom he is referred to as a second Buddha.
Tsongkhapa's dictated 'Notes on the Eight Great Difficult Points of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā' (Wylie: ba shes rab kyi dka' gnad chen po brgyad kyi brjed byang) were transcribed by his disciple rGyal-tshab-rje. The fifth point contends with 'apperception' (Wylie: rang rig).
With the founding of the Ganden monastery in 1409, he laid down the basis for what was later named the Gelug ("virtuous ones") order. At the time of the foundation of the Ganden monastery, his followers became to be known as "Gandenbas." Tsongkhapa himself never announced the establishment of a new monastic order. Tsongkhapa's teachings drew upon the teachings of Atisha, emphasizing the study of Vinaya, the Tripiṭaka, and the Shastras. Atisha's Lamrim inspired Tsongkhapa's Lamrim Chenmo, which became a main text among his followers. He also practised and taught extensively the Vajrayana, and especially how to bring the Sutra and Tantra teachings together, wrote works that summarized the root teachings of the Buddhist philosophical schools, as well as commentaries on the Pratimoksha, Prajnaparamita, Candrakirti's Madhyamakavatara, logic, and the Sarma Tantras.Tsongkhapa emphasised a strong monastic Sangha. Furthermore, he promoted the study of logic, encouraged formal debates as part of Dharma studies and instructed disciples in the Guhyasamaja, Kalacakra, and Hevajra Tantras.
Tsongkhapa was one of the foremost authorities of Tibetan Buddhism at the time. He composed a devotional prayer called the Migtsema Prayer to his Sakya master Rendawa, which was offered back to Tsongkhapa, with the note of his master saying that these verses were more applicable to Tsongkhapa than to himself. After Tsongkhapa's passing away, several biographies were written by Lamas of different traditions, and they all agreed that he was a teacher without parallel. The 9th Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje, praised Tsongkhapa as one "who swept away wrong views with the correct and perfect ones. The 8th Karmapa, Gyalwa Mikyö Dorje, wrote in his poem In Praise of the Incomparable Tsong Khapa:
When the teachings of the Sakya, Kagyue, Kadam
And Nyingma sects in Tibet were declining,
You, O Tsong Khapa, revived Buddha's Doctrine,
Hence I sing this praise to you of Ganden Mountain.
Further, it is said that the Buddha Sakyamuni spoke of his coming as an emanation of the Bodhisattva Manjusri in the short verse from the Root Tantra of Manjushri (Tib. 'Jam-dpal rtsa-rgyud):
After I pass away
And my pure doctrine is absent,
You will appear as an ordinary being,
Performing the deeds of a Buddha
And establishing the Joyful Land, the great Protector,
In the Land of the Snows.
Although Tsongkhapa would finally pass away in 1419 at the age of sixty-two, he left to the world 18 volumes of collected teachings, with the largest amount being on Guhyasamāja tantra. These 18 volumes contain hundreds of titles relating to all aspects of Buddhist teachings and clarify some of the most difficult topics of Sutrayana and Vajrayana teachings.
Major works among them are:
* The Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path (lam rim chen mo),
* The Great Exposition of Tantras (sngag rim chen mo),
* The Essence of Eloquence on the Interpretive and Definitive Teachings (drang nges legs bshad snying po; full title: gsung rab kyi drang ba dang nges pai don rnam par phye ba gsal bar byed pa legs par bshad pai snying po),
* The Praise of Relativity (rten 'brel bstod pa),
* The Clear Exposition of the Five Stages of Guhyasamaja (gsang 'dus rim lnga gsal sgron) and
* The Golden Rosary (gser phreng).
These scriptures are the prime source for the studies of the Gelugpa tradition and these and other teachings of Tsongkhapa endured into the modern age and are seen as a protection against misconceptions in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
The 14th Dalai Lama has highlighted the fidelity of Tsongkhapa's work to the meaning found in Buddhapalita's work. Tsongkhapa's work is praised as being profound and true to tradition, essentially a clarification and condensation of the transmitted teachings, which after all, are intended to encapsulate unchanging truth.
After Tsongkhapa had founded the monastery of Ganden in 1409, it became his main seat. He had many students, among whom Gyaltsab Dharma Rinchen (1364–1431), Khedrup Gelek Pelzang (1385–1438), Togden Jampal Gyatso, Jamyang Choje, Jamchenpa Sherap Senge, and the first Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gendün Drup (1391–1474), were the most outstanding. After Tsongkhapa's passing his teachings were held and kept by Gyaltsab Dharma Rinchen and Khedrub Gelek Pälsang. From then on, his lineage has been held by the Ganden Tripas, the throne-holders of Ganden Monastery, among whom the present one is Khensur Lungri Namgyal, the 101st Ganden Tripa. (former Gaden tripa now Trisur rinpoche)
After the founding of Ganden Monastery by Tsongkhapa, Drepung Monastery was founded by Jamyang Choje, Sera Monastery was founded by Chöje Shakya Yeshe and the Gendün Drup founded Tashilhunpo Monastery. Many Gelug monasteries were built throughout Tibet but also in China and Mongolia. He spent some time as a hermit in Pabonka Hermitage, which was built during Songsten Gampo times, approximately 8 kilometres north west of Lhasa. Today, it is also part of Sera.
Among the many lineage holders of the Yellow Hat Tradition (Gelugpas) there are the successive incarnations of the Panchen Lama as well as the Chagkya Dorje Chang, Ngachen Könchok Gyaltsen, Kyishö Tulku Tenzin Thrinly, Jamyang Shepa, Phurchok Jampa Rinpoche, Jamyang Dewe Dorje, Takphu Rinpoche, Khachen Yeshe Gyaltsen, Trijang Rinpoche, Domo Geshe Rinpoche, and many others.
The annual Tibetan prayer festival Monlam Prayer Festival was established by Tsongkhapa. There he offered service to ten thousand monks. The establishment of the Great Prayer Festival is seen as one of his Four Great Deeds. It celebrates the miraculous deeds of Buddha Shakyamuni.

Abandoning Dharma is, in the final analysis, disparaging the Hinayana because of the Mahayana; favoring the Hinayana on account of the Mahayana; playing off sutra against tantra; playing off the four classes of the tantras against each other; favoring one of the Tibetan schools—the Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu, or Nyingma—and disparaging the rest; and so on. In other words, we abandon Dharma any time we favor our own tenets and disparage the rest.

Re: Je Tsongkhapa.
Thanks for those Will !
Abandoning Dharma is, in the final analysis, disparaging the Hinayana because of the Mahayana; favoring the Hinayana on account of the Mahayana; playing off sutra against tantra; playing off the four classes of the tantras against each other; favoring one of the Tibetan schools—the Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu, or Nyingma—and disparaging the rest; and so on. In other words, we abandon Dharma any time we favor our own tenets and disparage the rest.

Re: Je Tsongkhapa.
Been re-reading the old classic of Geshe Wangyal, Door of Liberation that contains several of Je Rinpoche's best short works. Always loved his Three Principles of the Path and a short commentary by the late Gelek Rinpoche is heading toward by snail box. That should be a treat!
