His entrepreneurial spirit is what led Moise Sfez to Vatel. Three years later, his dreams have come true with a concept that revamps American lobster rolls and one that promotes the Vatel spirit: passion, transmission and innovation.
Tell us about the time you spent at Vatel.
I've always been attracted to the hospitality industry, as it's a field of conveying knowledge, sharing and know-how. I realize each and every day at what point Vatel brought me the knowledge and skill sets that allowed me to start my company up. The internships and practical application courses in particular really teach you a lot. At the beginning it's really impressive to have to "sink or swim" though you are managed by people who share the same passion, and it's fantastic to work in beautiful palaces where you can meet famous chefs!
What dreams did you have when you started school at Vatel?
I had already dreamed of working in restaurant services, and was attracted by street food. I knew that with Vatel I'd be able to hone my project and that I'd have the skill sets required for all entrepreneurs: management, law and human resources, in particular. I quickly understood that I had to develop, even before graduating, the concept that I had imagined: Homer. It was of course a risk, but also a great motivation every day.
So how was Homer founded?
A few years ago, when I was in New York, I had a lobster roll and it was love at first sight! The following year, I was doing an internship in the Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester restaurant in London and I had lobster rolls once again that triggered everything: I immediately started to hone my concept, look for suppliers, think of the name, draw a logo, etc. I was in my third year of school when Homer was born, at the Paris Foodmarket, a very coveted short event which enabled me to start being known. I continued to work on this project, working with structures such as the Cité de la Mode, while continuing my studies at Vatel. I wanted to find a facility so that Homer would have an office and a facility to develop. On the last day of my Bachelor finals, the BHV (Paris), offered me a long-term collaboration: I immediately said yes and am really proud of this development.
I quickly understood that I would have to take some risks with this project. Our Vatel Success Stories, what my rivals have done or other large street food groups: all of this has inspired me.
My goal? That Homer will be a sustainable company and that I'll be able to expand it in Paris, and why not in other French cities.

Reaching from the Danube valley all the way to the Grosser Arber mountain, the Bavarian Forest Nature Park takes in 89 towns and villages in the districts of Straubing-Bogen, Deggendorf, Regen and Freyung-Grafenau.
Juxtaposition is writ large here. The Bavarian Forest Nature Park is impressive for the sheer breadth of its diversity. Its natural treasures stretch as far as the Danube valley via the fruit growing areas (particularly lovely in spring) and the towns of Lalling and Neukirchen, and up to the Arber peaks with their areas of primeval woodland.
Since 1967, the Bavarian Forest Nature Park Society has worked to care for and maintain the area in partnership with the districts of Regen, Freyung-Grafenau, Deggendorf und Straubing-Bogen and their 89 member towns and villages. Staff at the nature park are happy to show the forest to locals and visitors alike, and play an important role in the local tourist industry and environmental education here in Lower Bavaria. For those wanting to explore the park under their own steam, but still learn about the natural landscape, there are dozens of nature experience trails and six information centres. Of these, the Sonnenhaus in Zwiesel is particularly impressive. Built in 2002 from renewable resources, it is today entirely energy self-sufficient. Another educational resource is available at the border railway station of Eisenstein. Here, as well as a ski museum, you'll find interactive exhibitions dedicated to the subjects of bats, the Arber mountain, and railways and transportation.

We're used to grandiose predictions for the Dow that never quite seem to pan out (see Jim Glassman's Dow 36,000, Harry Dent's Dow 40,000 or even Charles Kadlec's Dow 100,000). But when they come from someone like Jeremy Siegel and are credibly within reach, it might be worth a look.
Gene Epstein of Barron's takes a look at the hard numbers and makes a strong case for reaching the milestone. He also cites Siegel, famed finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, in his calculations.
"Even with the Dow reaching a record 14,539.14 …the performance of the market over the past five years is still below par," Epstein argues. "That bodes well for the bulls. Lower-than-average returns over five years are generally followed by higher-than-average returns over the following two years."
Accordingly, he claims the Dow has a four-in-five chance to be "flat or higher by year-end 2014, and a 50-50 chance of approaching 18,000 over the same time frame."
"These market odds are derived from long-term market patterns whose source is Siegel," he notes. Siegel has amassed numbers on stock-market performance dating back to 1871, the earliest year for which "unimpeachable data" are available. The numbers, which were compiled with the help of Prof. Siegel's former student Jeremy Schwartz, provide the basis for projecting the likely path of the Dow.
"The 142 years of market performance reveal a fairly straightforward cyclical pattern of worse-than-average returns followed by periods of better-than-average returns. Last year, the five-year returns were in the lowest quartile of all returns for five-year cycles."
Siegel believes the outlook for year-end 2013 remains intact, Epstein concludes.
"15,000 by year-end looks pretty easy now," Siegel observes, "with 16,000-17,000 within range by the end of the year."

Investors around the country see the economic picture looking brighter. But how much brighter depends, in part, on where they live.
Affluent investors in a new poll released Monday by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management expressed broad optimism about the prospects for their portfolios, growth of the U.S. and global economies and their ability to reach their financial goals.
The poll, conducted between January and March, surveyed 1,000 U.S. investors, ages 25 to 75, with $100,000 or more in investable household financial assets. A third of interviewees had $1 million or more in household financial assets, and a third lived in the metropolitan areas of Boston, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The study ranked those cities by their bullishness compared with attitudes nationwide on these six areas:
- The global economy: Nationally, 72% of respondents were bullish on the global economy, but 87% said they were concerned about increased foreign conflicts.
- The national economy: Sixty-six percent were optimistic about the U.S. economy. But 88% said they were concerned about the federal budget deficit. Other chief concerns were the nation's economic prospects (86%), inflation (80%), a sovereign-debt downgrade (80%) and terrorism (79%)
- The state economy: Seventy-seven percent of investors were bullish about their state economies.
- The investment climate: Nationally, 86% of respondents expected their investment portfolio to be "better" or "the same" at year end.
- The investment portfolio: Asked to identify "good" investment prospects for 2013, investors liked gold (48%) dividend-bearing stocks (46%), S&P 500 index funds (45%) and mutual funds and ETFs, (41%). Only 26% called Treasures a "good" investment, and just 22% favored various kinds of municipal bonds in their home states.
- Financial well-being: Eighty-six percent of respondents believed their financial well-being would be the same or better at year end.
Here are the eight cities, ranked in order from least to most bullish:
8. Atlanta—19 percentage points less bullish than the national average
Only 34% of Atlanta investors saw housing prices rising versus 41% nationally, and 31% saw home prices decreasing versus 20% nationally. Fully 64% of those surveyed said foreclosures had affected their neighborhoods, compared with 43% nationally. 7. Houston—12 percentage points less bullish than the national average
Houston's high-net-worth investors said energy made up a fifth of their investment portfolio, with about half in oil, a fourth in natural gas and the rest in alternative or renewable sources. Fifty-three percent saw great potential in natural gas, 47% in oil and 24% in alternative or renewable sources.
6. Chicago—11 percentage points less bullish than the national average
Chicago investors were by far the most bearish nationally on their state economy. Ninety-three percent cited the financial well-being of Illinois as a concern, and 80% were "very concerned." Nationally, this was not named as a top concern.
5. Denver—5 percentage points less bullish than national average
Mile High City investors were bullish on housing, with 64% seeing increases in local housing prices compared with 20% seeing decreases. 4. New York—8 percentage points more bullish than the national average
Investors in the tristate area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) were more bullish on prospects for the national economy, with 74% predicting it would be better or the same at year end, versus 66% nationally. Eighty-one percent considered prospects for the local economy better or the same. 3. Los Angeles —16 percentage points more bullish than the national average
Los Angeles investors saw "good" opportunities in technology (76%), energy (65%), biotech (65%), communications (59%), real estate (58%) and pharmaceuticals (58%). But only 32% considered entertainment, one of the largest local industries, a "good" opportunity, and 46% were neutral.
2. Boston—27 percentage points more bullish than the national average
Boston area retirees were less satisfied with the results of their investment portfolio, with 48% saying performance was worse than expected, compared with 36% nationally.
1. San Francisco—More bullish than average by 56 percentage points
Thirty-seven percent of high-net-worth investors in the home of Silicon Valley said they had invested in a startup, but only 23% planned to do so in the next three years. Bay Area investors said innovative ideas were the most important consideration for investing, startup or not, followed by strong financial backing.

The people of Juist call their island Töwerland, which means 'magic land' in the low German dialect. With 17 kilometres of beach straddling the Wadden Sea and the wild North Sea, Juist's nickname is understandable. It really is a special place!
Juist, located between Borkum and Norderney, is the longest of the East Frisian islands at 17 kilometres. This narrow strip in the North Sea, barely seven kilometres from the mainland, is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. There are no cars on the island and the sea is within easy walking distance on all sides. What's more, Juist lies in the heart of a natural wonder – the Wadden Sea, which has been a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since 2009. Here, holidaymakers can marvel at the ebb and flow of the tides. The eastern tip of the island is also a great place to spot colonies of seals sunbathing on the sandbanks. Juist has many regular guests who return year after year to the island, which with its wonderful marina is the perfect destination for families with children. And the endless stretches of sandy beach will have everybody reaching for their buckets and spades!
In addition to its relaxed feel, the island is also a popular destination for health-oriented holidaymakers , offering thalassotherapy and wellness as well as unforgettable mudflat walks and cycle tours – perfect ways to round off a long day of leisure. But all this rest and relaxation doesn't mean that there is any shortage of lively festivals on Juist, which hosts a music festival in late spring and a crime fiction festival in September.
The East Frisians are proud of their beautiful islands, although they have set their sights on a further goal: that of having Juist declared the world's first carbon-neutral tourism destination by 2030. For this reason, the island is also a strong promoter of sustainability.

Sarachan blames injuries, not his inability to coach, for team's slump.
Reality has finally set in for the Fire.
Long considered one of the most stable and tightly knit franchises in Major League Soccer for avoiding a revolving door of coaches, the Fire on Wednesday abruptly cast off one of its own — drawing mixed reactions.
With the team mired in a suffocating slump since mid-May, Dave Sarachan's tenure as the second head coach in the franchise's 10-year history ended during an early-morning meeting with Fire president/CEO John Guppy.
Sarachan called the decision "surprising," adding he had hoped the Fire's recent struggles would be attributed to an unprecedented rash of injuries and not a belief he was unable to lead the team.
"This is the reality of professional sports, and it's very difficult. It definitely came as surprising news," said Sarachan, who compiled a 55-50-31 record in five seasons with the Fire. "People who know understand the hand that we've been dealt this season. And despite that, there hasn't been a single game all season in which we haven't competed or we didn't believe we could win."
Sarachan won two U.S. Open Cup titles with the Fire (2003, '06), led the team to postseason play three times, was named MLS Coach of the Year in 2003 and was nominated again for that award last season.
Assistant coach Dennis Hamlett, a 10-year veteran with the Fire, will take over as interim head coach while a search begins for Sarachan's replacement. The Fire, which is scheduled for an international friendly Friday against MKS Cracovia of Poland, won't return to MLS play until July 1 at home vs. Colorado.
The Fire is 1-6-1 in its last eight games after going 3-0-1 to open the season.
Despite the struggles, the move to release Sarachan is a somewhat uncharacteristic one for the franchise. He became just the second coach in the club's history when current U.S. National Team coach Bob Bradley left after the 2002 season to pursue other interests.
"This is uncharted territory," Fire captain Chris Armas said. "In the 10 years with two coaches, considering the amount of success and loyalty we've had, there's a certain belief in the people we have here. It's tough."
Armas was critical of the decision to let Sarachan go in midseason, especially considering the growing number of injuries and Gold Cup obligations that whittled the Fire's roster from 28 to 18 for Saturday's 3-1 loss to D.C. United.
"I think he should have been given the year to get things on track," Armas said. "Why re-sign him in the first place, and after 12 games, that's it? I don't think it's a fair time to assess him."
Guppy admitted he was skeptical about Sarachan's motivational abilities inside the locker room, but said the rash of injuries did go into his decision-making process.
"Don't think I didn't consider that for hundreds of hours," Guppy said. "One of the things we've been lacking this year is that inspirational and motivational quality in the locker room from the head coach."
Sarachan said he never believed he lacked such motivational abilities, adding that the team's "inner circle" of coaches and veterans assumed the team could regroup with a healthy lineup.
Defender C.J. Brown echoed those sentiments, adding that "motivation was never a problem at all."
"Players all around the league have traditionally wanted to play here because they know it's a good environment with good coaches," Brown said. "Reality has definitely struck. It's a little different for us."

Other SEA LIFE attractions in Germany: Speyer, Hannover, Munich, Königswinter, Constance, Oberhausen, Timmendorfer Strand, Legoland Deutschland in Günzburg
SEA LIFE in the AquaDom, not far from Berlin Cathedral, has established itself as a firm favourite with fans of the deep blue and is a popular day out for families with children.
Have you always been intrigued by the mysterious world of fish and other sea creatures? AquaDom & SEA LIFE Berlin will take you on an adventure through the incredible underwater world, from the sources of the river Spree to the rough North Sea and from the depths of the Atlantic all the way to the tropics. The huge freshwater and seawater aquarium is home to around 4,000 creatures – with a fascinating biodiversity ranging from molluscs, colourful starfish, cute little seahorses and curious rays to different species of shark. Marvel at the staggering beauty of jellyfish in a breathtaking display of infinite colour, graceful movements and ghostly shapes and see these mysterious, magical creatures in a completely new light. At SEA LIFE you can also see tiny baby fish and other young marine animals in the breeding tanks. Do fish lay eggs? How do they sleep? How are sharks born? And where are the eyes on a jellyfish? Find out at AquaDom & SEA LIFE, where there is plenty for grown-ups and children to explore and discover.
Germany's first aquarium mirror-maze is a perfect illusion for the senses. In a 100m² room, cleverly arranged mirrors create incredible optical effects. Neptune's mirror-maze turns your own reflection into a never-ending mirror image. You are surrounded on all sides by tropical fish, including Nemo the clownfish, creating an optical illusion that goes well beyond what you'd expect of an aquarium. An attraction to round off a fantastic day out here is the AquaDom: the biggest cylindrical aquarium of its kind in the world is 25 metres tall and twelve metres across, holds one million litres of water and is home to more than 1,500 exotic fish spanning nearly 100 species. And no visit to Berlin's SEA LIFE aquarium would be complete without a trip in the glass elevator up through the coral reef habitat with its schools of tropical fish.

Prostitutes are now famous for working in brothels Gayles DL11. Today they can also be called as sex workers or escorts. The industry has evolved immensely with the growing number of prostitutes in UK, USA, and other parts of the world.
The brothels have been present in the whole world for several centuries. During the colonial times, British and other European countries had started brothels. The different languages had made it difficult for them to understand the working methods of the local prostitutes. This is where the brothels were established by the colonialists.
It is an important Gayles DL11 in which people from all over the world have come to. Gayles DL11 Brothels are quite common in many cities and it has become a major business in those cities.
A brothel is a great source of income for prostitutes Gayles DL11. These women are usually forced into prostitution by their families and partners or pimps who offer high rates to make a lot of money.
They are usually involved in trade for the money or in the sex trade for the foreign exchange. The amount of money earned by the sex workers depends on the demand and how much the clients pay. The most important factor which determines the amount of money is the quality of the work done by the prostitutes.
There are different kinds of prostitutes in the brothels of different countries. These women are mostly found working in different provinces of the country. They are normally young teenagers and they are very reliable when it comes to providing erotic services for their clients.
Prostitutes do not usually stay in brothels for long and therefore they leave the building once they have received enough money. Some of the prostitutes prefer to stay in the brothels as it gives them freedom and freedom are one of the main reasons for choosing this profession.
The normal daily routine of a prostitute is to go to the bank and take the money to pay her clients. The fees or tips can be added to the money she receives from the clients. It is usually used to pay the expenses and to provide food to the prostitutes.
The working days for a prostitute are not really very long as the work is a very expensive job. A prostitute must be willing to work out of the house and deal with the daily worries of the day.
Working as a prostitute is considered illegal in some countries. If you choose to become a prostitute, you must always be prepared to face legal repercussions if you have any misbehavior. You must be ready to pay the consequences if you are charged with any illegal activity.
Sex workers and escorts are common in almost all parts of the world and thus this profession is very popular in many countries. The demand for prostitutes has been increasing in the modern society and in this process the number of prostitutes has also increased in a big way. In the future the sex trade will no doubt become more common and at the same time there will be less need for prostitutes.

Demand for sauce finds company willing to bring it back.
Sometimes an outcry from consumers does result in a happy ending.
For more than a year, Helen Woods of Springfield has been phoning Faribault Foods, asking the company to bring back the discontinued Chilli Man Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce.
I would call whenever I thought of it, and I had everybody else calling, said the retired bookkeeper for the Springfield Mass Transit District.
When her children were teenagers, they liked to go to Steak n Shake and order the chili mac.
"That' s expensive when you have kids, so we found if you add a little ketchup to the coney island sauce and put it on spaghetti, it tastes about the same and it's s cheaper" Woods said.
I've tried other brands, but they' re not as thick or as greasy," she added.
Kent Brunsman is another fan of the coney sauce from Chilli Man.
"You get some Cheez Whiz, salsa and a little can of Coney Island and it makes the best chili-cheese dip ever," said the retired Springfield police officer.
He's been e-mailing the company for more than a year, always asking the same three questions.
"I ask why they stopped making it, will they bring it back and would they give me the recipe," he said.
Brunsman recently got one of his questions answered. Faribault, indeed, is bringing back Chilli Man Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce.
"They called and told me they are going to start making it again and it should be on store shelves by the end of the month," Brunsman said in May.
Consumer representatives for Faribault, based in Faribault, Minn., confirmed that the sauce is in production. Instead of the little cans it used to come in, however, it's in 15-ounce cans, with a suggested retail price of between $2.39 and $2.59 when not on sale. It was supposed to be shipped to distributors at the end of May, the company reps said, but it's been difficult to find in Springfield.
Woods found some in two Shop'n Saves: on Wabash Avenue and on North Grand Avenue.
"I've been trying all the Shop 'n Saves," she said. "They got it on and off. I bought three and sent some to my daughter in North Carolina. Then I bought some more at the other store, but they keep running out."
I bought a can last week at the Shop 'n Save on North Grand Avenue for $1.89.
It's near the canned chili.
'Gerry Kettler, consumer affairs director for Niemann Foods, said Cub Foods and County Market are supposed to receive the sauce July 2 and predicted it will be in those Springfield stores a week or so after that.
'Coney Island sauce is a mildly spiced brew studded with ground beef. Traditionally, it's put on hot dogs to make coney dogs. The late Joe DeFrates started Chilli Man Chili in the early 1950s in Springfield. It' s now manufactured by Faribault Foods and is sold by the can in grocery stores, wrapped in its iconic black label.
Woods is afraid she won' t be able to find enough of the Chilli Man coney sauce to use for her chili mac.
"There's none other like it," she said. "I used to buy it by the case"

What mom really wants for Mother's Day
As you're shopping around this Mother's Day for the perfect gift for your mom, find out what mom really wants. And believe it or not, what mom likely really wants this year isn't something that money can buy.
According to SheKnows.com, most women want "me time" for Mother's Day. Busy running errands for their family, a lot of moms don't have a lot of time to just relax, take a bubble bath, or just sit and watch one of their favorite movies.
Moms also want more family time. Moms want to make memories with their families, so getting the whole family together and going on a special outing is a gift a lot of mothers would love this holiday.
Another gift moms would welcome, according to SheKnows.com, is just a simple 'thank you.' Moms do a lot for their families throughout the year, and a lot of moms would just like their children to show that they appreciate all of the love, time and hard work moms give year-round.
To show your appreciation for mom, consider writing her a thank you card, making her dinner, giving her time to take a bath, giving her a gift certificate for a massage, or take mom on a walk or a picnic to celebrate the day.

Sure, you can run Speedtest.net or max out your BitTorrent download, but as we found out last month, it's hard to get a good gauge of how fast and consistent an ISP is using real-world, high-bandwidth applications.
But Netflix, as one of those high-bandwidth services, is taking matters into its own hands and has published its first monthly ranking of major ISPs, "based upon their actual performance across all Netflix streams."
On Tuesday, Netflix wrote that Google Fiber, which is limited to a few hundred users in Kansas City (Kansas), "is now the most consistently fast ISP in America."
However, the streaming service's own numbers put Google Fiber's speed at 2.55Mbps for Netflix streams—far lower, as I observed recently—than one might expect for a gigabit connection.
Verizon FiOS, Comcast, and Charter came in at positions two through four, respectively, clustering between 2.19 and 2.17 Mbps. Cablevision rounded out the top five at 2.15Mbps.
"The average performance is well below the peak performance due to a variety of factors including home Wi-Fi, a variety of devices, and a variety of encodes," wrote Ken Florance, vice president of content delivery at Netflix, on a company blog. "The relative ranking, however, should be an accurate indicator of relative bandwidth typically experienced across all users, homes, and applications."

In Which I Am Criticized by the Master of Antaiji Temple
Markus in Finland recently sent me a link to this post in which Muho Roshi, the abbot of Antaiji temple in Japan criticizes me and then proceeds to praise himself for how much more of a bodhisattva he is than I am.
For those who don't know, Antaiji is famous mainly for being the temple that "Homeless" Kodo Sawaki and his student Kosho Uchiyama lived in. I've always been a little vague on this because Sawaki was known for being a master without a temple. Apparently he actually had a temple of his own, but he wasn't there most of the time because he traveled around the country leading retreats and teaching zazen as well as promoting the many books he wrote. Sawaki is my teacher Nishijima Roshi's biggest influence. Shunryu Suzki was also a big fan of Sawaki.
These days Antaiji is one of the few Japanese Zen temples that a foreign person can go and train in. Often when people ask me about training in a Japanese Zen temple, I refer them to Antaiji. A few people who have come to my Zen retreats and talks have taken the bait and gone out there.
All I know about Muho, other than what I just now gleaned from a quick skim of the Wikipedia entry on him, is that he's German. I'm not sure how he got to be the abbot of Antaiji. I've read a few of his pieces on-line and I always liked them. I believe it was Muho who first shed light on the hatchet job done on Kodo Sawaki by Brian Victoria in his book Zen At War. Muho pointed out a number of places where Victoria wildly mistranslated Sawaki to make him sound like he was a blood-thirsty promoter of the Japanese war effort in WWII. Sawaki was nothing of the sort and anyone who can read Japanese can read the pieces Victoria translated and easily see that Sawaki said nothing at all like what Victoria has him saying in his book.
Muho's criticism of me comes completely out of the blue as far as I can see. But judging by the piece Muho chose to write about, the man must be quite a follower of my writing. This is the kind of thing one could only find by conducting a pretty thorough search of stuff I've written. He chose to pick on something I wrote specifically to the group in Los Angeles that I used to sit with who had asked what it would take to get me to return there as a full time teacher for the group.
I thought about it for a very long time and came up with a list of conditions under which it would be feasible for me to do so. Apparently Muho thought the conditions I stipulated proved that I was not the kind, caring individual that he (Muho) is and he decided he'd better point that out.
The piece he criticized was not really intended for public consumption, although it was not in any way secret either. It was meant to point out to the folks who were asking me about this what I, as a guy who makes his living from writing books and lecturing, would need in order to lead a group in Los Angeles. I wanted the group to have realistic expectations as to what I could and could not do for them.
I have quite a bit of difficulty with what Americans call "setting boundaries." Very often when I am leading any kind of a group, certain people will take advantage of what a total push-over I am and monopolize my time. I decided that one way to remedy this and to be available to everyone fairly was to do what college professors do and have specific "office hours" during which I'd be available by appointment.
What I'm suggesting in the letter I wrote to the people in Los Angeles is an entirely new system very specifically tailored to my own personal life. It's completely different from what happens if one steps into an established temple with an established protocol and an established way of generating income. I'm not saying that's easy to do either. But most of the problems that my letter to the people in Los Angeles addresses are already solved if one has that kind of a temple.
Muho criticizes me for suggesting that I would not be available all the time for such a group in much the same way and for much the same reasons that Kodo Sawaki was not always available all the time for the regular attendees at Antaiji. I'm sorry, Muho, but if I were to make myself available 365 days a year at such a temple, I have no idea how I could earn my keep. And I'm pretty stubborn about earning my own keep.
FYI: Just in case the reaction to this piece becomes "Brad is planning to move back to Los Angeles and lead a group," I want to point out that I have no such plans at all. I am willing to discuss such a possibility if it becomes feasible. As of now, it is not feasible at all and there is no reason to believe it will become feasible any time soon.
ANYWAY, what bums me out most about Muho's piece is that it is so utterly disappointing. There are a small handful of people out there in the Zen world who take an attitude that goes something like, "You cannot be a real Zen teacher if you didn't become a Zen teacher the way I became a Zen teacher." This is completely missing the point of what it is to be a Zen teacher. Muho's sneering remarks about me make it clear that he holds that attitude.
It's pleasantly surprising to me that I encounter very little of this type of criticism. Most Zen teachers I know are very accepting of me, even though I didn't become a Zen teacher in what is now considered to be the standard way. I think most of them understand that what is commonly thought of as the "standard way" of becoming a Zen teacher is something that developed rather recently. Dogen never did zuise. Nor did Bodhidharma. Buddha himself never did either. Nor did any of these people suggest you had to. I'm unaware of Dogen ever recommending these steps either. The head monk ceremony and all of that stuff are, at best, from the late-medieval period. Many are very recent developments.
I'm hardly the only Zen teacher out there who has come by his Zen credentials in a non-standard way. Most of the teachers ordained by Kobun Chino Roshi were also ordained in non-standard ways, as were a lot of others. So I am not writing this just to defend myself.
Oddly enough, I can think of many situations in my association with Nishijima Roshi in which he placed me in much the same position as a ceremonially appointed "head student" and in which I did things that were sort of like zuise, though it was not at Eiheiji or Sojiji temples. Also my "training period" with him, though it was never called that, lasted about seven years, which would be pretty standard at a "real" temple. It involved, in an informal form, many of the same steps one would do ceremonially at a "real" temple.
Nishijima Roshi was not a fan of Soto-shu and its bureaucracy, organizational protocols, ceremonies and rituals. He didn't think it was necessary for a Zen teacher to be recognized by Soto-shu, even though he himself is. Dogen was never recognized by any such organization, nor were any of the great masters of the past. Organizations like Soto-shu arose much later and retroactively included the great masters of the past in their ranks. One wonders if Dogen would really have wanted to be seen as the founder of contemporary Soto-shu if he'd had any choice in the matter. I imagine he would not.
Having said that, I am aware that there need to be some kind of standards as to who is and is not a legitimate Zen teacher. Otherwise you get guys like "Zen Master Rama" claiming to be Zen teachers because they had a dream in which Buddha made them a Zen teacher or some such nonsense. But the basic standard is only that you have a legitimate lineage of a living Zen teacher who recognized your qualification to teach and who himself had a living Zen teacher, and so on for at least a few generations back. I have that. So does Muho. For that matter so, unfortunately, does Genpo Roshi. Which goes to show that this, in itself, doesn't mean everything. But it does mean something.
Still, I am very firm in my conviction that official recognition by the Soto-shu corporation of Japan is not a very good final criteria for what makes one a real Zen teacher. Muho seems to be concerned about the future of Western Zen. I sincerely hope he is not suggesting that recognition by the Soto-shu is the way to solve all of our problems.

I believe these are the first shots of Nicole Kidman on set in Monaco as Grace Kelly. If this is a wig, it's a very good one. Or did she take her extensions out? Princess Grace's title, like that of her daughter-in-law Charlene, was Her Serene Highness. And Granny Freeze certainly looks serene here.
Kidman is a few years older now than the Princess was during the period of her life on which this film is based. In Sarah's original post about the casting news, she wrote that Kidman was a good choice. She is undeniably talented, one of the best, and Sarah's hope was that this role would restore Kidman to the status she held at the time of her Oscar win, before most discussion about her was focused on, you know.
So is this a good start?

3D Channel Report
If you were around during the launch of high-def TV, you may remember an interesting phenomenon: People with HDTVs became oddly knowledgeable about esoteric topics, such as the migratory patterns of North American birds or the concept of Dark Matter. That's because when the first HDTVs arrived, people starved for native high-def content were all tuned into Discovery HD, one of the few networks broadcasting it. The situation is a little different now that 3D TVs have arrived. There's actually a decent amount of 3D content - beyond 3D Blu-ray movies, there are now three full-time HD networks. You don't have to settle for the drama of seabird flight.
What you'll get, however, depends on your service provider. Luckily I have DirecTV, which has staked its claim with 3D enthusiasts by offering all three full-time 3D networks: n3D, a channel the satellite company launched in partnership with Panasonic; ESPN 3D, a which went 24/7 just a few months ago; and 3net, from Discovery, Sony and IMAX, the newest 3D channel to arrive.
I checked out the 3D networks using a 50-inch Panasonic VT25-series 1080p 3D TV, paired with a set of first-generation Panasonic 3D glasses. All the programming was fed to the TV using DirecTV's HR24 HD DVR outputting 3D in the side-by-side format. Here's what I found:

By Christina Rexrode
and Matthew Craft
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK (AP) -- Forget about the "fiscal cliff."
That might be hard, considering the drama of last week. The stock market had its worst two-day plunge in a year after voters returned President Barack Obama, a Republican House and a Democratic Senate to power.
Investors fear the approaching cliff -- tax increases and government spending cuts that begin to take effect Jan. 1 unless Obama and Congress can work out a compromise.
Economists say the hit to the economy next year could be $800 billion and be enough to push the United States back into another recession. And financial analysts are predicting more market turmoil as the deadline approaches.
But lawmakers almost certainly will work out a deal -- perhaps messily, unsatisfyingly and with lots of theatrics, but a deal nonetheless. But what happens after that, and to the market in Obama's second term?
Home prices are rising again in many parts of the country. Job growth is much faster than it was last spring. Consumer confidence is up. So is retail spending. And so is the stock market, last week's jitters notwithstanding.
Even some of those who think the economy and markets will run into trouble soon see better times on the other side of the cliff.
David Kostin, Goldman Sachs's U.S. equity strategist, expects a budget battle in Washington to send the Standard & Poor's 500 index down to 1,250 by the end of the year, about 10 percent lower than where it closed last Friday.
Once the fight is finished, however, things should turn around quickly, he says. By the end of next year, the S&P 500 will reach 1,575, Goldman says, clearing its previous all-time high by 10 points.
There are factors that could still hobble the economy, of course.
Median household income has dropped every year since 2007, after adjusting for inflation. The unemployment rate is still high. The Federal Reserve warned last month that job growth, like U.S. economic growth, remains slow.
Here are three things you should watch as you plot an investing strategy for the next four years.
The Bottom Line
The traditional thinking is that a Democratic president equals higher taxes for businesses. But financial analysts at UBS aren't so sure. In a report before the election, they predicted that the corporate tax rate would drop under Obama or Romney.
And anyway, says Carol Pepper, CEO of the wealth management firm Pepper International in New York, companies aren't going to stop growing just because they're faced with higher taxes.
"That," she says, "is cutting off your nose to spite your face."
Also, for more than three years, companies in the S&P 500 have improved earnings every quarter compared with the year before, according to market research company S&P Capital IQ.
Often, their growth has defied expectations. At the beginning of October, analysts were predicting that third-quarter corporate profits would fall nearly 2 percent compared with a year ago.
With about 90 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 turning in results, they're expected to be up more than 2 percent. And higher earnings generally send a company's stock higher.
That's no guarantee, of course. Revenue for the third quarter so far is up only about 0.6 percent, which means that companies' profit growth is driven not by selling more goods and services but by cutting costs, which can mean laying off workers or trimming salaries.
And compared with a year ago, the earnings and revenue growth is downright anemic. In the third quarter of 2011, earnings grew more than 17 percent over the previous year, according to S&P Capital IQ. Revenue was up more than 11 percent.
Still, if companies managed to grow profits during a slow economic recovery, they should have no trouble doing it if the economy really picks up.
The China Machine
You can't consider the future of the world economy, and therefore the future of the U.S. stock market, without considering China, the world's second-largest economy behind the United States.
You've probably heard that economic growth in China has slowed. But China's economy is still growing at an annual rate of 7.4 percent, more than triple the U.S. rate, and far better than the contraction in most of Europe.
China's middle class is huge and expanding. That makes it more expensive for U.S. companies to produce goods there because of higher living standards, but it also means more customers for American companies to sell things to.
Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management in Annapolis, Md., says he's optimistic on China, though it's not without risks. Young people moving en masse from the country to the city can fuel social tensions, and the country's rules still prove baffling or impenetrable for many foreign investors.
"However pessimistic people are about China," Day says, "China's economy is still growing."
Dry Powder
One popular theory for why the economy is set to improve: Companies hoarded money during the financial crisis and now sit on record piles of cash. The Fed says nonfinancial companies hold about $1.7 trillion in cash and other liquid assets.
Companies have cut back spending on machinery, tools, software and other so-called capital goods, resulting in the slowest growth in "capital stock" in nearly 50 years, notes Michelle Meyer, the U.S. economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"The positive story is that once the fiscal cliff is resolved, even if it's a messy process, some of the uncertainty hanging over businesses will be removed," she says.
Pent-up demand from corporations could turn into spending in the spring and pick up through next year.
Jeremy Zirin, chief equity strategist at UBS Wealth Management, says the cash heap is the "dry powder" that will fuel growth.
A major caveat: Market watchers have been talking about companies sitting on cash for a long time. The amount has been roughly the same nearly three years, and nothing so far has convinced companies to spend it liberally.

Borders & Trims
Decorate, inspire, Teach—Borders and trims for your classroom's boards and windows add color and individuality to the space. Choose from a wide selection of themes and patterns to best suit your taste and grade level. Banners with pithy lessons and accents appropriate to the season or subject help motivate your students.
Borders and Trims
Whether it be a ceiling border of landmarks from individual countries, patterned trims in a wide color selection for boards or smaller spaces, or subject-themed borders for math, writing, and astronomy, you can decorate your classroom space and get your students in the learning mood as soon as they walk in. Seasonal designs and borders and trims with special features such as pop-up, three-dimensional figures and objects are also available. Review the selection of bulletin boards and signs for additional decoration and teaching-aid ideas.
Removable and reusable accents with figures pertaining to the seasons can be used to mark the days in a calendar. Accents of jigsaw puzzle pieces and stars are ideal for teaching activities involving patterning, sorting, or sequencing. Classic apples or smiley face figures are perfect to use as rewards or commendations, or you can simply use any of them to add color and enliven your classroom.
Although your students already know the important lessons about hard work, commitment, and the value of education, it does not hurt to remind them with inspirational banners that sum up these lessons with the help of well-known proverbs and influential authors such as Dr, Seuss. You can also choose banners that keep important lessons from subjects such as reading, math, and writing front and center so that you can point to them as needed.
