1 nanometre equals 1 millionth of a millimetre. When the dimensions reach such infinitesimal levels, the particles acquire physical and chemical properties that have already been taken advantage of in other fields to obtain surprising new materials.
The properties of FENIX–thermal repairability of superficial microscratches, anti-fingerprint, low-light reflection and extreme opacity, being soft to the touch–were designed on a nanometric scale to create new categories of materials.
About 70% of FENIX is made up of layers of paper. During the lamination process, the material is subjected to heat and pressure at the same time, in order to produce a homogeneous, non-porous and high-density product.
The core is made up of paper impregnated with thermosetting resins, whilst the outer surface is treated with next-generation acrylic resins. The surface is then subjected to a process of Electron Beam Curing which hardens it, giving it characteristics that open previously inconceivable doors in the world of interior design.
FENIX's surface has low-light reflectivity and is extremely opaque, anti-fingerprint and pleasantly soft to the touch. FENIX also has the ability to regenerate from any superficial microscratches thanks to its thermal-repairability, as suggested by the name chosen for this material.

But I once looked at Albany, and as I recall (could be wrong), they don't even PRETEND to give out aid based on need. Their only finaid programs are merit money, loans, and a few scholarships to attract URMs.

Whether you're looking for great craft fair projects or getting ready for Christmas, I Love To Craft.com offers some great crafting ideas!
Since Halloween is now passed and the department stores are pushing us all to do our holiday shopping now, one can only image that I headed straight for the Christmas crafts.
While I didn't find their projects to be as extensive as other craft sites I visited, I did find the quality of the crafts offered to be superior. One craft in particular that I loved and cannot wait to get started on is their No Sew Country Santa. I absolutely adore primitive crafts and this will be perfect for adding to my country Christmas collection. The No Sew Country Santa is a great idea too for the limited skills craft (such as myself) as a craft fair project. Since primitive is in, it's sure to be a hot item!
After leaving the Christmas section, I was next drawn to the Homemade Gift Ideasarea. In there is where I found a really neat gift idea for anyone having to or wishing to provide gifts to a large group (such as Cheerleading Squads, Sunday School Classes, etc.): Cell Phone Covers. There are very few people these days who do not have cell phones and these inexpensive handmade gifts are easily customized to each recipients favs.
There's a great deal at I Love to Craft.com that is fun, simple and neat to make! Take the time to visit them and browse around until you find your favorite craft project. And, before you leave, be sure to visit their craft forumfor more ideas and socializing with other crafters!

Maintain the Exterior of Your Traditional Home with Sash Windows
Friday, December 07th , 2012
Your home is a place to relax, be yourself and enjoy time with your family so it's understandable that you'll want your home to look its best and the exterior is just as important as the interior. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to maintain the classic aesthetics of the exterior of a traditional home as modern materials will often look out of place. Here at Bygone Windows, however, we specialise in traditional sash windows that beautifully complement and enhance the look of a traditional style home.
Traditional Style with Modern Technology
Of course when the traditional sash windows were originally installed, there was no need to worry about anything other than whether they looked appealing and keep the wind and rain out of the house. Now, on the other hand, we require a lot more from our windows and it's important that you update your traditional sash windows to meet these new requirements.
Here at Bygone we ensure that our windows are in accordance with all necessary building regulations while maintaining the beautiful classic visual appeal. We manufacture our windows to meet your requirements in energy efficiency, safety and security; our aim to not only meet but exceed your expectations.
Never Compromise On Style or Practicality
Unfortunately, many sash window replacements are not done correctly and the result is a home with substandard windows that do not blend into the original style and look out of place. Here at Bygone we urge you to come to experts for your sash window replacement so you rest assured that your windows will meet the highest standards in quality and fit flawlessly into the existing style of your home.
Why not browse our site for more information about our windows, accreditations and environmental commitment? If you have any queries or would like additional information about our services, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Buddhacarita Home PageNext Chapter
Book VII: [Tapovanapraveśo]
[Entry into the Penance Grove]
tato visṛjyāśrumukhaṁ rudaṁtaṁ chaṁdaṁ vanacchaṁdatayā nirāsthaḥ |
sarvārthasiddho vapuṣābhibhūya tamāśramaṁ siddhamiva prapede || 7.1
1. Then having left the weeping tear-faced Chaṁda, — indifferent to all things in his longing for the forest, he by whom all objects are accomplished, overpowering the place by his beauty, entered that hermitage as if it were fully blessed.
sa rājasūnurmṛgarājagāmī mṛgājiraṁ tanmṛgavat praviṣṭaḥ |
lakṣmīviyukto 'pi śarīralakṣmyā cakṣūṁṣi sarvāśramiṇāṁ jahāra || 7.2
2. He the prince with a gait like the lion's, having entered that arena of deer, himself like a deer, — by the beauty of his person, even though bereft of his magnificence, attracted the eyes of all the dwellers in the hermitage.
sthitā hi hastasthayugāstathaiva kautūhalāccakradharāḥ sadārāḥ |
tamiṁdrakalpaṁ dadṛśurna jagmurdhuryā ivārdhāvanataiḥ śirobhiḥ || 7.3
3. The drivers of wheeled carriages also, with their wives, stood still in curiosity, holding the yokes in their hands, — they gazed on him who was like Indra, and moved not, standing like their beasts of burden with their heads half bent down.
viprāśca gatvā bahiridhmahetoḥ prāptāḥ samitpuṣpapavitrahastāḥ |
tapaḥpradhānāḥ kṛtabuddhayo 'pi taṁ draṣṭumīyurna maṭhānabhīyuḥ || 7.4
4. And the Brāhmans who had gone outside for the sake of fuel, having come with their hands full of fuel, flowers, and kusa grass, — pre-eminent as they were in penances, and proficients in wisdom, went to see him, and went not to their cells.
hṛṣṭāśca kekā mumucurmayūrā dṛṣṭvāṁbudaṁ nīlamivonnamaṁtam |
śaṣpāṇi hitvābhimukhāśca tasthurmṛgāścalākṣā mṛgacāriṇaśca || 7.5
5. Delighted the peacocks uttered their cries, as if they had seen a dark-blue cloud rising up; and leaving the young grass and coming forward, the deer with restless eyes and the ascetics who grazed like deer A form of ascetic observance, see Mahābh. I, 3644; V, 4072. Cf. infra, śloka (verse) 15.01 stood still.
dṛṣṭvā tamikṣvākukulapradīpaṁ jvalaṁtamudyaṁtamivāṁśumaṁtam |
kṛte 'pi dohe janitapramodāḥ prasusruvurhomaduhaśca gāvaḥ || 7.6
6. Beholding him, the lamp of the race of Ikṣvāku, shining like the rising sun, — even though their milking was over, being filled with joy, the oblation-giving cows poured forth their milk.
kaścidvasūnāmayamaṣṭamaḥ syātsyādaśvinoranyataraścyuto 'tra |
ucceruruccairiti tatra vācastaddarśanādvismayajā munīnām || 7.7
7. 'It is one of the eight Vasus or one of the two Aśvins, descended here,' — these words arose, uttered aloud by the sages in their astonishment at seeing him.
lekharṣabhasyeva vapurdvitīyaṁ dhāmeva lokasya carācarasya |
sa dyotayāmāsa vanaṁ hi kṛtsnaṁ yadṛcchayā sūrya ivāvatīrṇaḥ || 7.8
8. Like a second form of the lord of the gods, Lekharṣabha is a rare name of Indra.02 like the personified glory of the universe, he lighted up the entire wood like the sun come down of his own accord.
tataḥ sa tairāśramibhiryathāvadabhyarcitaścopanimaṁtritaśca |
pratyarcayāṁ dharmabhṛto babhūva svareṇa bhādrāṁbudharopamena || 7.9
9. Then he, being duly honoured and invited to enter by those dwellers in the hermitage, paid his homage to the saints, with a voice like a cloud in the rainy season. A conjectural reading.03
kīrṇaṁ tataḥ puṇyakṛtā janena svargābhikāmena vimokṣakāmaḥ |
tamāśramaṁ so 'nucacāra dhīrastapāṁsi citrāṇi nirīkṣamāṇaḥ || 7.10
10. He, the wise one, longing for liberation, traversed that hermitage filled with the holy company desirous of heaven, — gazing at their strange penances.
tapovikārāṁśca nirīkṣya saumyastapovane tatra tapodhanānām |
tapasvinaṁ kaṁcidanuvrajaṁtaṁ tattvaṁ vijijñāsuridaṁ babhāṣe || 7.11
11. He, the gentle one, having seen the different kinds of penance practised by the ascetics in that sacred grove, — desiring to know the truth, thus addressed one of the ascetics who was following him:
tatpūrvamadyāśramadarśanaṁ me yasmādimaṁ dharmavidhiṁ na jāne |
tasmādbhavānarhati bhāṣituṁ me yo niścayo yaṁ prati vaḥ pravṛttaḥ || 7.12
12. 'Since this to-day is my first sight of a hermitage I do not understand this rule of penance; therefore will your honour kindly explain to me what resolve possesses each one of you.'
tato dvijātiḥ sa tapovihāraḥ śākyarṣabhāyarṣabhavikramāya |
kramena tasmai kathayāṁcakāra tapoviśeṣaṁ tapasaḥ phalaṁ ca || 7.13
13. Then the Brāhman well-versed in penance told in order to that bull of the Śākyas, a very bull in prowess, all the various kinds of penance and the fruit thereof.
agrāmyamannaṁ salilaprarūḍhaṁ parṇāni toyaṁ phalamūlameva |
yathāgamaṁ vṛttiriyaṁ munīnāṁ bhinnāstu te te tapasāṁ vikalpāḥ || 7.14
14. 'Uncultivated food, growing out of the water, leaves, water, and roots and fruits, — this is the fare of the saints according to the sacred texts; but the different alternatives of penance vary.
uṁchena jīvaṁti khagā ivānye tṛṇāni kecinmṛgavaccaraṁti |
kecidbhujaṁgaiḥ saha vartayaṁti valmīkabhūtā iva mārutena || 7.15
15. 'Some live like the birds on gleaned corn, others graze on grass like the deer, others live on air with the snakes, as if turned into ant-hills. Cf. the legend of the princess Sukanyā, given in Wilson's note, Hindu Drama, I, p. 263.04
aśmaprayatnārjitavṛttayo 'nye kecitsvadaṁtāpahatānnabhakṣāḥ |
kṛtvā parārthaṁ śrapaṇaṁ tathānye kurvaṁti kāryaṁ yadi śeṣamasti || 7.16
16. 'Others win their nourishment with great effort from stones, others eat corn ground with their own teeth; some, having boiled for others, dress for themselves what may chance to be left.
kecijjalaklinnajaṭākalāpā dviḥ pāvakaṁ juhvati maṁtrapūrvam |
mīnaiḥ samaṁ kecidapo vigāhya vasaṁti kūrmollikhitaiḥ śarīraiḥ || 7.17
17. 'Others, with their tufts of matted hair continually wet with water, twice offer oblations to Agni with hymns; others plunging like fishes into the water dwell there with their bodies scratched by tortoises.
evaṁvidhaiḥ kālacitaistapobhiḥ parairdivaṁ yāṁtyaparairnṛlokam |
duḥkhena mārgeṇa sukhaṁ kṣiyaṁti duḥkhaṁ hi dharmasya vadaṁti mūlam || 7.18
18. 'By such penances endured for a time, — by the higher they attain heaven, by the lower the world of men; by the path of pain they eventually dwell in happiness, — pain, they say, is the root of merit.'
ityevamādi dvipadeṁdravatsaḥ śrutvā vacastasya tapodhanasya |
adṛṣṭatattvo 'pi na saṁtutoṣa śanairidaṁ cātmagataṁ jagāda || 7.19
19. The king's son, having heard this speech of the ascetic, even though he saw no lofty truth in it, Cf. Beal, 517 (or perhaps 'though he had not himself yet attained the highest truth').05 was not content, but gently uttered these thoughts to himself:
duḥkhātmakaṁ naikavidhaṁ tapaśca svargapradhānaṁ tapasaḥ phalaṁ ca |
lokāśca sarve pariṇāmavaṁtaḥ svalpe śramaḥ khalvayamāśramāṇām || 7.20
20. 'The penance is full of pain and of many kinds, and the fruit of the penance is mainly heaven at its best, and all the worlds are subject to change; verily the labour of the hermitages is spent for but little gain.
śriyaṁ ca baṁdhūn viṣayāṁśca hitvā ye svargahetau niyamaṁ caraṁti |
te viprayuktāḥ khalu gaṁtukāmā mahattaraṁ svaṁ vanameva bhūyaḥ || 7.21
21. 'Those who abandoning wealth, kindred, and worldly objects, undertake vows for the sake of heaven, — they, when parted, only wish to go to a still greater wood of their own again. Their desired heaven will only be a fresh penance-grove.06
kāyaklamairyaśca tapo 'bhidhānaiḥ pravṛttimākāṁkṣati kāmahetoḥ |
saṁsāradoṣānaparīkṣamāṇo duḥkhena so 'nvicchati duḥkhameva || 7.22
22. 'He who by all these bodily toils which are called penances, seeks a sphere of action for the sake of desire, — not examining the inherent evils of mundane existence, he only seeks pain by pain.
trāsaśca nityaṁ maraṇātprajānāṁ yatnena cecchaṁti punaḥ prasūtim |
satyāṁ pravṛttau niyataśca mṛtyustatraiva magno yata eva bhītaḥ || 7.23
23. 'There is ever to living creatures fear from death, and they with all their efforts seek to be born again; where there is action, there must inevitably be death, — he is always drowned therein, just because he is afraid.
ihārthameke praviśaṁti khedaṁ svargārthamanye śramamāpnuvaṁti |
sukhārthamāśākṛpaṇo 'kṛtārthaḥ patatyanarthe khalu jīvalokaḥ || 7.24
24. 'Some undergo misery for the sake of this world, others meet toil for the sake of heaven; all living beings, wretched through hope and always missing their aim, fall certainly for the sake of happiness into misery.
na khalvayaṁ garhita eva yatno yo hīnamutsṛjya viśeṣagāmī |
prājñaiḥ samānena pariśrameṇa kāryaṁ tu tadyatra punarna kāryam || 7.25
25. 'It is not the effort itself which I blame, — which flinging aside the base pursues a high path of its own; but the wise, by all this common toil, ought to attain that state in which nothing needs ever to be done again.
śarīrapīḍā tu yadīha dharmaḥ sukhaṁ śarīrasya bhavatyadharmaḥ |
dharmeṇa cāpnoti sukhaṁ paratra tasmādadharmaṁ phalatīha dharmaḥ || 7.26
26. 'If the mortification of the body here is religion, then the body's happiness is only irreligion; but by religion a man obtains happiness in the next world, therefore religion here bears irreligion as its fruit.
yataḥ śarīraṁ manaso vaśena pravartate vāpi nivartate vā |
yukto damaścetasa eva tasmāccittādṛte kāṣṭhasamaṁ śarīram || 7.27
27. 'Since it is only by the mind's authority that the body either acts or ceases to act, therefore to control the thought is alone befitting, — without the thought the body is like a log.
āhāraśuddhyā yadi puṇyamiṣṭaṁ tasmānmṛgāṇāmapi puṇyamasti |
ye cāpi bāhyāḥ puruṣāḥ phalebhyo bhāgyāparādhena parāṅmukhatvāt || 7.28
28. 'If merit is gained by purity of food, then there is merit also in the deer; and in those men also who live as outcasts from all enjoyments, through being estranged from them by the fault of their destiny.
duḥkhe 'bhisaṁdhistvatha puṇyahetuḥ sukhe 'pi kāryo nanu so 'bhisaṁdhiḥ |
atha pramāṇaṁ na sukhe 'bhisaṁdhirduḥkhe pramāṇaṁ nanu nābhisaṁdhiḥ || 7.29
29. 'If the deliberate choice of pain is a cause of merit, why should not that same choice be directed to pleasure? If you say that the choice of pleasure carries no authority, is not the choice of pain equally without authority?
tathaiva ye karmaviśuddhihetoḥ spṛśaṁtyapastīrthamiti pravṛttāḥ |
tatrāpi toṣo hṛdi kevalo 'yaṁ na pāvayiṣyaṁti hi pāpamāpaḥ || 7.30
30. 'So too those who for the sake of purifying their actions, earnestly sprinkle water on themselves, saying, "this is a sacred spot," — even there this satisfaction resides only in the heart, — for waters will not cleanse away sin.
spṛṣṭaṁ hi yadyadguṇavadbhiraṁbhastattatpṛthivyāṁ yadi tīrthamiṣṭam |
tasmādguṇāneva paraimi tīrthamāpastu niḥsaṁśayamāpa eva || 7.31
31. 'The water which has been touched by the virtuous, — that is the spot, if you wish for a sacred spot on the earth; therefore I count as a place of pilgrimage only the virtues of a virtuous man', Guṇān eva?07 — water without doubt is only water.'
iti sma tattadbahuyuktiyuktaṁ jagāda cāstaṁ ca yayau vivasvān |
tato havirdhūmavivarṇavṛkṣaṁ tapaḥpraśāṁtaṁ sa vanaṁ viveśa || 7.32
32. Thus he uttered his discourse full of various arguments, and the sun went down into the west; then he entered the grove where penances had now ceased and whose trees were gray with the smoke of the (evening) oblations;
abhyuddhṛtaprajvalitāgnihotraṁ kṛtābhiṣekarṣijanāvakīrṇam |
jāpyasvanākūjitadevakoṣṭhaṁ dharmasya karmāṁtamiva pravṛttam || 7.33
33. Where the sacred fires had been duly transferred when kindled to other spots, — all crowded with the holy hermits who had performed their ablutions, and with the shrines of the gods murmuring with the muttered prayers, — it seemed all alive like the full service of religion in exercise.
kāścinniśāstatra niśākarābhaḥ parīkṣamāṇaśca tapāṁsyuvāsa |
sarvaṁ parikṣepya tapaśca matvā tasmāttapaḥkṣetratalājjagāma || 7.34
34. He spent several nights there, himself like the moon, examining their penances; and he departed from that penance-field, feeling that he had comprehended the whole nature of penance.
anvavrajannāśramiṇastatastaṁ tadrūpamāhātmyagatairmanobhiḥ |
deśādanāryairabhibhūyamānānmahārṣayo dharmamivāpayāṁtam || 7.35
35. The dwellers of the hermitage followed him with their minds fixed on the greatness of soul visible in his person, as if they were great seers beholding Religion herself, withdrawn from a land invaded by the base.
tato jaṭāvalkalacīrakhelāṁstapodhanāṁścaiva sa tāndadarśa |
tapāṁsi caiṣāmanubudhyamānastasthau śive śrīmati mārgavṛkṣe || 7.36
36. Then he looked on all those ascetics with their matted hair, bark garments, and rag-strips waving, and he stood considering their penances under an auspicious and noble tree by the way-side.
athopasṛtyāśramavāsinastaṁ manuṣyavaryaṁ parivārya tasthuḥ |
vṛddhaśca teṣāṁ bahumānapūrvaṁ kalena sāmnā giramityuvāca || 7.37
37. Then the hermits having approached stood surrounding the best of men; and an old man from among them thus addressed him respectfully in a gentle voice:
tvayyāgate pūrṇa ivāśramo 'bhūtsaṁpadyate śūnya iva prayāte |
tasmādimaṁ nārhasi tāta hātuṁ jijīviṣordehamiveṣṭamāyuḥ || 7.38
38. 'At thy coming the hermitage seems to have become full, it becomes as it were empty when thou art gone, — therefore, my son, thou wilt not surely desert it, as the loved life the body of one who wishes to live.
brahmarṣirājarṣisurarṣijuṣṭaḥ puṇyaḥ samīpe himavān hi śailaḥ |
tapāṁsi tānyeva tapodhanānāṁ yatsaṁnikarṣādbahulībhavaṁti || 7.39
39. 'In front stands the holy mountain Himavat, inhabited by Brahmarṣis, rājarṣis, and surarṣis; by whose mere presence the merit of these penances becomes multiplied to the ascetics.
tīrthāni puṇyānyabhitastathaiva sopānabhūtāni nabhastalasya |
juṣṭāni dharmātmabhirātmavadbhirdevarṣibhiścaiva mahārṣibhiśca || 7.40
40. 'Near us also are holy spots of pilgrimage, which become ladders to heaven; loved by divine sages and saints whose souls are intent on devotion and who keep their souls in perfect control.
itaśca bhūyaḥ kṣamamuttaraiva diksevituṁ dharmaviśeṣahetoḥ |

41. 'From hence, again, the Northern quarter is especially to be fitly followed for the sake of preeminent merit; even one who was wise starting towards the south could not advance one single step.

dṛṣṭastvayā yena na te vivatsā tadbrūhi yāvadrucito 'stu vāsaḥ || 7.42
42. 'Hast thou seen in this sacred grove one who neglects all ceremonies or who follows confused ceremonies or an outcast or one impure, that thou dost not desire to dwell here? Speak it out, and let the abode be welcomed.

vāsastvayā hīṁdrasamena sārdhaṁ vṛhaspaterabhyudayāvahaḥ syāt || 7.43
43. 'These hermits here desire thee as their companion in penance, thee who art like a storehouse of penance, — to dwell with thee who art like Indra would bring prosperity even to Vṛhaspati.'
ityevamukte sa tapasvimadhye tapasvimukhyena manīṣimukhyaḥ |
bhavapraṇāśāya kṛtapratijñaḥ svaṁ bhāvamaṁtargatamācacakṣe || 7.44
44. He, the chief of the wise, when thus addressed in the midst of the ascetics by their chief—having resolved in his mind to put an end to all existence — thus uttered his inward thought:
ṛjvātmanāṁ dharmabhṛtāṁ munīnāmiṣṭātithitvātsvajanopamānam |
evaṁvidhairmāṁ prati bhāvajātaiḥ prītiḥ parātmā janitaśca mārgaḥ || 7.45
45. 'The upright-souled saints, the upholders of religion, become the very ideal of our own kindred through their delight in showing hospitality; by all these kind feelings of thine towards me affection is produced in me and the path which regards the self as supreme Obscure, cf.

46. 'I seem to be all at once bathed by these gentle heart-touching words of thine, and the joy now throbs in me once more which I felt when I first grasped the idea of dharma.
evaṁ pravṛttān bhavataḥ śaraṇyānatīva saṁdarśitapakṣapātān |
yāsyāmi hitveti mamāpi duḥkhaṁ yathaiva baṁdhūṁstyajatastathaiva || 7.47
47. 'There is sorrow to me when I reflect that I shall have to depart, leaving you who are thus engaged, you who are such a refuge and who have shown such excessive kindness to me, — just as there was when I had to leave my kindred behind.
svargāya yuṣmākamayaṁ tu dharmo mamābhilāṣastvapunarbhavāya |
asmin vane yena na me vivatsā bhinnaḥ pravṛttyā hi nivṛttidharmaḥ || 7.48
48. 'But this devotion of yours is for the sake of heaven, — while my desire is that there may be no fresh birth; therefore I wish not to dwell in this wood; the nature of cessation is different from that of activity.

tato vacaḥ sūnṛtamarthavacca suślakṣṇamojasvi ca garvitaṁ ca |
śrutvā kumārasya tapasvinaste viśeṣayuktaṁ bahumānamīyuḥ || 7.50
50. Then having heard the prince's discourse, gracious and of deep meaning, gentle, strong, and full of dignity, the ascetics paid him especial honour.
kaściddvijastatra tu bhasmaśāyī prāṁśuḥ śikhī dāravacīravāsāḥ |

Dr. von Boehtlingk suggests kuṁḍāvahasto, 'the back of whose hand was like a kuṇḍa'.09 in his hand, thus lifted his voice:
dhīmannudāraḥ khalu niścayaste yastvaṁ yuvā janmani dṛṣṭadoṣaḥ |

52. 'O sage, brave indeed is thy purpose, who, young as thou art, hast seen the evils of birth; he who, having pondered thoroughly heaven and liberation, makes up his mind for liberation, — he is indeed brave!
yajñaistapobhirniyamaiśca taistaiḥ svargaṁ yiyāsaṁti hi rāgavaṁtaḥ |
rāgeṇa sārdhaṁ ripuṇeva yuddhvā mokṣaṁ parīpsaṁti tu sattvavaṁtaḥ || 7.53
53. 'By all those various sacrifices, penances and vows the slaves of passion desire to go to heaven; but the strong, having battled with passion as with an enemy, desire to obtain liberation.
tadbuddhireṣā yadi niścitā te tūrṇaṁ bhavān gacchatu viṁdhyakoṣṭham |
asau munistatra vasatyarāḍo yo naiṣṭhike śreyasi labdhacakṣuḥ || 7.54
54. 'If this is thy settled purpose, go quickly to Viṁdhyakoṣṭha; the Muni Arāḍa lives there who has gained an insight into absolute bliss.
tasmādbhavāñchroṣyati tattvamārgaṁ satyāṁ rucau saṁpratipatsyate ca |
yathā tu paśyāmi matistavaiṣā tasyāpi yāsyatyavadhūya buddhim || 7.55
55. 'From him thou wilt hear the path to truth, and if thou hast a desire for it, thou wilt embrace it; but as I foresee, this purpose of thine will go on further, after having rejected his theory.
puṣṭāśvaghoṇaṁ vipulāyatākṣaṁ tāmrādharoṣṭhaṁ sitatīkṣṇadaṁṣṭram |

56. 'With the nose of a well-fed horse, large long eyes, a red lower lip, white sharp teeth, and a thin red tongue, — this face of thine will drink up the entire ocean of what is to be known.
gaṁbhīratā yā bhavatastvagādhā yā dīptatā yāni ca lakṣaṇāni |
ācāryakaṁ prāpsyasi tatpṛthivyāṁ yannarṣibhiḥ pūrvayuge 'pyavāptam || 7.57
57. 'That unfathomed depth which characterises thee, that majesty and all those signs of thine, — they shall win a teacher's chair in the earth which was never won by sages even in a former age.'
paramamiti tato nṛpātmajastamṛṣijanaṁ pratinaṁdya niryayau |
vidhivadanuvidhāya te 'pi taṁ praviviśurāśramiṇastapovanam || 7.58
58. The prince replied, 'Very well,' and having saluted the company of sages he departed; the hermits also having duly performed to him all the rites of courtesy entered again into the ascetic grove.

The Devil is in the Details
While numerical rankings are incredibly seductive, they are also the most contentious feature of Tickerscores.
As with any ranking system, how the rankings are generated is the most critical feature in determining the reliability of those numbers for decision making purposes. In other words, what goes into the ranking determines what the outputted number actually means and whether or not those scores are useful.
Take, for example, the category of "management team" that forms part of the overall score. One of the multiple variables that go into the score for management is teams learning to ramp up production efficiently and control costs effectively.
While many investors would intuitively agree with some kind of positive association between company performance and efficient production pathways or well-controlled costs, defining exactly how much (numerically) it matters is much more complex task. Other components that go into the management score include:
- Years of experience of the management team
- The "track record" of success
- Administrative/Operating expenses
- Whether management team owns shares
Even though it may seem academic to debate these seemingly small factors, in reality the combined effect of a lot of small factors is exactly what lies at the heart of what could make or break Tickerscores as a valuable research tool – it relies on the combination of many different factors put together to create a numerical and pictorial representation of the 'strength' of a particular company.
So what makes a 'good score'? Typically, higher numbers are the signal of stronger companies however when asked about what constitutes a "good" score, the lead analyst on the Tickerscores project, Rob Furhman, characterized the value of Tickerscores as "not about [finding] what's good, but eliminating what's not good."

In Asia Pacific, perhaps more than in anywhere else in the world, a country's food culture is both the litmus test for the diversity of a nation and a strong influence on changing societal trends.
Weber Shandwick's Asia Pacific Food Forward Trends Report 2014 predicts the food trends most likely to impact corporations, industry bodies and policy makers through the insights of food experts and the discovery of what foods Asia Pacific consumers prefer, where they purchase it and what influences them to make those choices. Conducted by Weber Shandwick through qualitative interviews with food experts, including food writers, chefs, bloggers, nutritionists and researchers, food prediction insights were supported by surveys completed by more than 3,200 consumers in Australia, China, Korea and Singapore.
Country-specific Food Forward Trends Reports published throughout the first part of 2014 revealed key local trends, and these findings were then examined to identify the most significant disparities and similarities among food behaviour in some of Asia Pacific's most foodie-friendly countries.
From predicting online purchasing power to gauging the influence of international flavours, the importance of food origin to the relevance of celebrity endorsements, both expert insights and consumer survey responses in Food Forward Trends Report suggest that the way we choose, purchase, prepare and share food experiences is being reshaped this year. We expect that these trends will fuel further discussion between retailers, brands and consumers.

The INSIDER Summary:
• Sometimes a trip to Whole Foods can take a serious toll on your wallet.• There are some unexpected, hidden items that are well-priced and high-quality, including cheese, coconut oil, and frozen fruit.
You can find a bunch of interesting things at Whole Foods: cuts of meat you've never seen, anchovies that kind of actually look edible, exotic fruits with names you can't pronounce and people of all ages spewing the oldest dad joke in the book:
Whole Foods? It should be called Whole Paycheck!
That's in reference to the market's surprisingly expensive products that you can usually find at your local grocer for half the price. But wander the aisles often enough and you'll see that there are a few steals you can always count on. These are the ones you should look out for.
Just past the giant wheels of brie and sharp cheddar, there often sits a basket of what looks like tiny, rejected hunks of cheese. They're actually just the odds and ends that haven't sold fast enough, and you can usually scoop them up for under $3.
According to a former employee, you can get a tub of Whole Food's 365 brand Greek yogurt for $5.99, while Fage (another popular Greek yogurt brand), is usually upwards of $6.99 at other stores.
You can file these under "things that are unreasonably expensive." At most supermarkets, you have to buy a container, and you'll usually be up-charged for the hassle of, um, containing the product. At Whole Foods, you can get as little or as much as you want — sometimes for less than $2 per pound.
When you find a bottle of vino you love, it pays to buy in bulk. Whole Foods offers a 10 percent discount when you buy six or more bottles of wine. You can even mix and match.
Here comes another win from the 365 brand: If you like your milk organic — that is, hormone-free and antibiotic-free- you should buy it here. A carton of it can be close to $1 less than comparable ones.
Whole30-ers live and breathe by coconut oil — and they know how expensive a jar can be. But once again, the 365 brand tends to ring up about $1 less than the house brand at other markets, like Safeway.

This challenge was "work" for me. The design idea/string did not happen easily. Blocked. But I'll do another one and try to loosen-up. Using a familiar spiral string gave me a good start.

About This Class
Better than dreamweaver ;)
Learn Adobe Brackets Free open source code editor
Brackets is an open source text editor this course will show you what you can do with it
Learn more about using Brackets as your code editor.
A modern, open source text editor that understands web design. Learn how to use Brackets and see all the functionality in action. Learn about top extensions and addons. Review of best setup techniques.
Learn how to use Brackets and how you can easily switch to using Brackets as your code editor.
I've been a web developer since 2000 and have used a number of code editors. I was originally using Dreamweaver in a number of my courses. I found that there were many students who wanted to have the same editor and setup that I have as they follow along with course content. I switched to several open source editors until I found Brackets. I've been using Brackets on a regular basis and found that I don't open Dreamweaver as much anymore. The best part of Brackets its free, so anyone who wants to use the same editor as I do in my courses can do so without barrier.
I decided to create this course to illustrate how to get brackets, how to set it up and some of the advanced features available in Brackets. In addition I wanted to list out top extensions to really power up your Brackets application.
I also cover my XAMPP server setup which allows me to use localhost as my webserver. XAMPP is really straight forward on getting going so most of the course is focused on using Brackets.

Wild in the sheetsI got these---now I need more! If I had known what I was getting into, I would have been bought so many more accessories to go with it.
Very comfortable, easy to use, highly addictive.
Need more parts to make these fully functional. Add ankle straps is a must.
PG to R rated bondage. I consider myself a novice in the being tied up department, which is too bad, so I was unsure as to what to get, and very excited to try these cheetah cuffs. I used it as a traditional wrist cuff, and as a beginner I think it was a good fit. It's definitely not complicated, and if you want out you can get out without the threat of being stuck without a key. I think anyone that is into hardcore, or has had other cuffs may not be too into these, just because of the basic style of them. These are very portable, don't take up any space and easily adapted for any bed/hotel arrangement. I found it worked best with an additional silk tie or something similar that you can attach them to.
Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit
The material itself is very comfortable. It's about 2 inches wide and 8 inches long, so it can accommodate most sizes of wrists and ankles. The description says it's made of fleece---but I picture fleece as puffy, and these are not. I would say they are more the texture and thickness of a soft felt. The actual restraint part is a 3/4 inch webbing strap 14 inches long, with a fold-back clip. You put the strap through it and fold it over to hold, this part is made of a plastic material. This has a tendency to slip, so you can wiggle out of it if you are having rough play. Each of the cuffs has a ring in the center of the strap. This is what I used to attach a silk tie to for actually attaching it to itself and we also used this to tie around my ankles, so you definitely need to add to it, it on its own I felt was not enough for restraint.
Once on, these were very comfortable. Even though the webbing goes around the middle, the strap didn't feel uncomfortable when tight, and didn't have any trouble moving on my wrists when I moved. Unless you are a very big person there should be no problem getting these on the normal person. There is ample strap length for any size.

Unless you are a very big person there should be no problem getting these on the normal person. There is ample strap length for any size.
I was excited to get these but I had no idea how much myself and my partner would enjoy them. Like I mentioned we did have a long strap to attach to the D rings and this allowed my wrists to slide back and forth for different positions. He restrained me with my hands behind my back, and then also incorporated my ankles, but this requires more than just the wrist restraint. If you get these be prepared to add on, depending on how you want to be tied up. It's definitely a starter kit in my opinion, and very addictive. If you are feeling really frisky get two or three sets of them, for wrist, ankle, and you can also attach the two cuffs together for a dirty cheetah collar.
Care and Maintenance
It is made of a micro fleece type of material, and webbing, so it can be washed. Treat it like any lingerie you have and wash it with care, but it shouldn't have any issues in the wash. I would recommend air drying it though because of the plastic parts, you don't want to overheat them, although I don't think it would damage anything. There is no metal in it.
Simple plastic bag with a label on it, very low thrills, for all fun it has packaged in it.
So---kind of hooked now. Giving up control of things was such a huge turn on for both of us. We tried it several different ways and all were fantastic, far exceeded my expectations.
Follow-up commentary 10 months after original review
I don't use these nearly as much as I'd like to, but they are definitely as fun as they were the first time. The cuffs are easy to clean too. I especially like that they are so small and discreet.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the FTC guidelines.
great review!!
Interesting! I almost bought these before Christmas, I had a surprise planned for my partner and we were about to use our sex swing for the first time. I wanted these cuffs to match the swing and well, cuff him! LOl. I ended up going with the darn Japanese Silk Rope instead because it came in handy more than these would've, but I really am interested in these! They're cute too! Was there nude people on the packaging? Sorry for the strange question. Lol.
Nice review!
Thanks for the review. These look cute and would work well with our silk ties.
Isn't giving up control great?!! I never thought I would like it either, and I don't. I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing!

The space
Quite flat of about 75 sq. mt in an ancient building ('800) completely restructured in 2011.
The entrance is from our private path, in the garden, deck chairs for exclusive use of guests. The apartment is warm and welcoming, sleeps 5+1 and it is comfortably furnished with wooden furniture and Sicilian ceramics. This unit has a well equipped kitchen with a good supply of crockery, cutlery, pans, etc. and private bathroom. Central heating,air conditioner, TV LCD, sat.TV. Also linen, towels and blankets provided.
The terrace (50 sq. m) has a a large shaded area for dining and relaxing with flower-bed, patio furniture and barbecue area, for exclusive use of the guests.
The area
The apartment is located in the new area of the city of Sciacca. Really close to supermarkets and winery. The city center is about 200 mt faraway (5 minutes walking) that means that you can easily leave the car in your private parking and visiting downtown just walking. The old harbour is about 300 mt faraway, and the beaches are far about 500 mt.
Sciacca is a really safe city. It has 45.000 inhabitants and many Pizzerias and Restaurants with affordable price and high quality food. Fish is the speciality of the place, but also the famous "granita" or "cannoli" are sensations that a visitor can't miss.
It's a perfect place to go for a family.
In summertime there are also many kiosks on the beaches that are open all night long playing music and entertaining people.
Sciacca is an old city where you can still find aspects from the arab and norman period. Many are the ancient building of the city and unique is its main square that gives to all the visitors a breathaking view of the mediterrenean and african sea. Of interest are the arab quartier and the fisherman quartiers that creates a kind of labirinth (casba) of small street and alleys that connect the old harbour to the San Michele quartier.
Sciacca is also famous for its SPA, where you can enjoy a warm solphoreum bath or a sauna in prehistoric caves...you can't miss it!
Sciacca is dominated by the Mount Kronio where you have a superb view of the area and where is located the therapeutic center founded by Saint Calogero.
One of the most important thing to see in Sciacca is the Filippo Bentivegna's Garden of Enchantments the Sicily's famous outsider sculpture garden.
Last but not least Sciacca is famous for its beaches. Sandy, Rocky, Cliffs...the shore varies and gives you the opportunity of choosing everyday a new experience.

Maintenance Matters
April 2007 Issue
Sigma-Teks new piston pump looks promising, but for now, were sticking with vane pumps from Sigma-Tek and Aero Accessories.
Sometimes when we test products, we learn things we would rather not know. For instance, we didnt know that an ordinary carbon vane vacuum pump gets too hot to touch after three or four minutes at operating speed. We also werent aware that on takeoff roll, some pumps are whirring along at 4200 RPM while the prop loafs along at two thirds of that speed. And we definitely werent prepared for the ear-splitting screech these things emit at high RPM.

In the automotive spare parts industry, fast efficient processing of orders is mission critical. They not only rely on durable, reliable hardware and seamless software integration but cost efficient, long-term solutions.
No matter what industry you are in, it pays to do your research and sufficient product testing the first time round so that quick and painless decisions can be made when it comes time to upgrade.
When the time comes, upgrading into a second generation of the existing mission critical system is by far the most sensible and economical way to do this and no doubt many companies seek to do that very thing. Getting it right the first time makes it possible to accommodate the growth in the second generation.
Brad Jeavons, Sales Manager for insignia, labeling specialists, agrees. As head of the project team that assisted Holden Australia in their first Total Solutions Package for their warehouses, he has been able to make the second generation roll-out of this package quick and efficient for all parties concerned.
Part of insignia's mission statement is 'to clearly understand our customer's needs and work in partnership with them to deliver the best overall solution' and this collaboration five years ago has grown into a business relationship with Holden.
insignia were able to provide what Holden was looking for:
insignia could offer a Total Solutions Package, through quality solution provision and ongoing service and support. Brad believes that 'this company's upgrade of a second generation system with insignia is testament of the quality business partnership and products initially installed.'
The initial total solutions package involved Datamax printers, software, consumables and ongoing field service. At that time, Brad believed that insignia were offering the best possible printing solution for Holden. All parties agreed that the Datamax W-Class printer was the right printer for their environment.
This durable and reliable printer met some very particular requirements like:
Five years ago, almost every appropriate printer was tested to see if they could meet these requirements and the Datamax W-Class passed with flying colours. A close look at this sturdy printer reveals a modular printer design that allows for simple servicing. A screwdriver is all the essential equipment needed, but it does need to be a Phillipshead!
This one factor alone, means a lower total cost of ownership. Not only that, this reliable thermal label printer has been designed for high demand printing. If printers had personalities, you could imagine this printer revelling in the tough demands placed on it. It wouldn't throw up its hands in horror when asked to load and print high resolution, detailed graphics. You would think it was actually made for the kind of exacting work that would make other printers shudder and break down!
And let's face it. Breakdowns are the enemy of productivity. They are no good for the company's bottom line or for the well-being of employees who are continually faced with the frustrating problem of working around them.
One of the key factors to this second generation choice was that their original Datamax printers continued to handle the demanding workload of the production lines with minimal downtime. The excellent performance of the Datamax W-Class label printer since the initial roll-out has meant that Brad and his team are once again involved with providing a second generation of total solutions to Holden.
So to avoid going back to the drawing board, be intentional when doing your initial research and look for the best. The best provider, the best product and the best solutions. Solutions that go beyond the immediate work environment, that can adjust with growth or even if your company has a change of direction. Look for a provider that can journey with you and your company. Don't get caught up with a company that is merely the go-between.
Poor research can mean companies are left with complicated software/hardware communication or products that are difficult to maintain with minimal or poor after sales servicing. Initially, the right research would ensure that this doesn't happen.
'We work hard to get the right product for the right application, for the right environment and best of all, for the right price.' says Brad. His advice to companies who are looking to roll out a Total Solutions package that can adjust for expansion and success is to spend the time in research and test the products thoroughly. Then you will have a solution that will go the distance and keep your business where you want it to be – at the front of your field.

He tried the usual—calling his phone to see if a kind stranger had discovered it and would let him know where he could pick it up—but to no avail. The phone had been turned off. But all was not lost!The very next day, Nirenberg discovered that the guy who stole his phone was using the OKCupid app on his phone to try and chat it up with the ladies—using Nirenberg's account! Nirenberg writes on his blog, "I woke up to see that the thief had been using my old OKCupid account sending weird messages to girls at 6 in the morning! Not only is he stealing my phone, he's creepy and disturbing, and gave me an idea."Nirenberg decided to trick the thief into meeting him by creating "a fake email and half-believable OKCupid account as 'Jennifer Rodriguez' – a 24-year-old girl who just moved to Brooklyn and was looking for a man to take her out." Within a matter of hours, the thief was on his way to "Jennifer's apartment" for a bottle of wine.Nirenberg writes, "Little did he know that on his way up the stairs I would pop out behind him, calmly give him $20 for my phone (it was in his hand) and tell him the cops were on the way (with a hammer in my hand). RETRIBUTION! The look of immediate shame on his face was priceless, homie was shook and must feel like an idiot. Dude was all dressed up, had a bottle of wine and stank of cologne. As he was walking away I was surprised I said 'You smell great tho'."The following screenshot of "Jennifer's" inbox, complete with OKCupid messages between her and the thief, was posted to Reddit.On a side note, Nirenberg reports that "'Jennifer' got OKCupid messages from 30+ dudes in the ~5 hours that she existed." Also, "Flirting with this dude on OKCupid as a girl was weird as hell." He has since posted an apology on his own OKCupid account, for all the girls that the thief weirdly messaged.

I just want to share something that I've learned a few days ago by doing this. Let's assume you have a ZFS pool. 1 TB in size. You want to add some storage. By accident you grab a slice 0 that is 128MB large instead of the whole LUN. The obvious question is how do you get rid of it. You may get to the idea that you replace the 128 MB LUN with a 1 TB LUN. We do this replacement all the time to increase of rpools. However: For the given situation this is an exceptionally bad idea.
I demonstrate this issue with an example:
Okay, the pool was created like this:
root@solaris:~# format
Searching for disks...done
0. c1t0d0
1. c1t2d0
2. c1t3d0
3. c1t4d0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^C
Yeah, a single device pool. I know this isn't a good idea, but the customer configured it this way.
root@solaris:~# zpool create datapool c1t3d0
Before going forward you have to keep in mind that there is something called metaslabs. They are part of the way ZFS is organizing the storage is uses. They are really important to the code that is tracking the free parts of your disk. There are several good articles on this topic out there. At the moment keep in mind that Solaris aims to have 200 metaslabs on it.
Now let's look at the metaslabs of the first vdev (vdev 0) with zdb -m datapool 0:
The metaslabs are sized 128 MB and you have 127 of them.
vdev 0 ms_array 27
metaslabs 127 offset spacemap free
-------------- ----------------------- --------------- -------------
metaslab 0 offset 0 spacemap 30 free 128M
Then the customer wanted more capacity and configured a LUN on their storage. However by accident he didn't add the 1 TB LUN he wanted to add but a 128 MB slice on it. Essentially what happened was something like that:
root@solaris:~# zdb -m datapool 0 | grep "metaslab" | wc -l
When you look for the metaslabs, you will see the metaslabs of the second vdev (vdev 1) are now 1 Megabyte in size.
root@solaris:~# zpool add datapool c1t2d0
That's expected because this is exactly the behaviour we see see written down in the respective source code.
root@solaris:~# zdb -m datapool 1 | grep "metaslab" | head -n 3
metaslabs 115 offset spacemap free
metaslab 0 offset 0 spacemap 33 free 1013K
metaslab 1 offset 0x100000 spacemap 0 free 1M
So, how do you get rid of this 128 MB device. You shouldn't follow your first guess. Don't replace the device. Just don't do it. Why? Well … in principle it works. You can get rid of it. But it has consequences. Let's just do it for demonstration.
The problem is: ZFS keeps the metaslab size on the vdev, it just creates more of them. I was aware of that for resizing a LUN, but hadn't in mind that for replace it's the same.
root@solaris:~# zpool replace datapool c1t2d0 c1t4d0
Well … and now extrapolate it to a 1 TB device that replaces a 128 MB device. You will have 1.000.000 metaslabs. This has a lot consequences on behaviour of this mechanism. It was written mit 200 metaslabs in mind per vdev ... not a million. The problems range from memory consumption over loading and unloading of metaslabs up to locking. Let's say it this way. You will have some performance problems when writing to it.
root@solaris:~# zdb -m datapool 1 | grep "metaslab" | head -n 3
metaslabs16371 offset spacemap free
metaslab 0 offset 0 spacemap 33 free 1006K
metaslab 1 offset 0x100000 spacemap 0 free 1M
So ... do not replace the devices in this siutation. Just don't do it. That said: This isn't a problem in normal operation. You increase from 600 GB to 1.2 TB or from 2TB to 4TB and then to 8 TB. So you end up with perhaps 800 Metaslabs. Not a problem. But not with a million.
And before you ask: Adding the large disk as a mirror and split the old one away doesn't work as well.
You still end up with 16371 metaslabs. Or a million when using a 1 TB disk.
root@solaris:~# zpool create datapool c1t3d0
root@solaris:~# zpool set autoexpand=on datapool
root@solaris:~# zpool add datapool c1t2d0
root@solaris:~# zpool attach datapool c1t2d0 c1t4d0
root@solaris:~# zpool detach datapool c1t2d0
root@solaris:~# zdb -m datapool 1 | grep "metaslab" | head -n 3
metaslabs16371 offset spacemap free
metaslab 0 offset 0 spacemap 33 free 1006K
metaslab 1 offset 0x100000 spacemap 0 free 1M
So whats the solution for the accidentially added device: From my perspective ? Just leave it there at the moment. Don't do anything. Recreate the pool with zfs send/receive. But do not simply replace the device.

Kentucky: Part 1
Last month, we took a trip to Kentucky, somewhere I had never been, to finally meet all of Brandon's family that I had never seen. It was such a good trip and surprisingly beautiful. I didn't have a ton of preconceived ideas of what Kentucky would be like but I was definitely taken aback by it's quaint charm and natural beauty. Also, a cold front had just come in when we got there and the weather was in the 70's which was amaaaaaaazing! We actually had to go out and by warmer clothes! But more on that later.
So we left on a Saturday, right after my sister's baby shower. We drove all through the night and arrived at about 11 in the morning. We spent our first few days in Bowling Green, Kentucky where Brandon's uncle lives.
The first day, we were completely exhausted from the drive and spent most of the day laying in bed, watching Youtube videos, reading, and doing homework (well Brandon was).
His family was really supportive of our diet (raw till 4/vegan) and we had a plethora of good food to eat. We actually brought our own blender and food processor to make our own smoothies and food the whole trip! There's nothing like having a vacation and staying healthy too. It was fantastic.
Raw Cauliflower Couscous: chopped (in the food processor) cauliflower, onion, garlic, and spinach with lime juice, tomatoes, and kalamata olives! Yum
One of the main events here, was our homemade slip n' slide! So it started out as this little dingy thing....
But the boys weren't satisfied enough for that. So Brandon's uncle had bought a few tarps that they laid on this hill to create a whopping 70 foot slip n' slide! Complete with dish soap and sprinklers.
Holy cow, was it fun! I think the adults had just as much fun as the kids did!
That night we had a celebration for all the girls whom had had birthdays all around the same time.
They all got matching minnie mouse ears and fairy wands.
I managed to sneak in a really nice bike ride to keep up with my training while we there and it was perfect! Afterwards, we went to do some shopping and got ourselves some close-toed shoes and sweaters to keep warm! We fully expected 90-100 degree weather so we weren't prepared for the 50-70 degree weather that surprised us when we arrived! And then, after 2... or 3 (?) days of Bowling Green, (I can't remember exactly now), we were off to the next house/family to visit!
Those Kentucky sunsets ya'll. Gorgeous.

Hello there!
I am having trouble installing Antergos on my new HP 255 G5 laptop. The laptop was supplied new and without an operating system.
I initially created a live USB using one of the graphical tools, yet this was obviously doomed to fail. Subsequently, I created a live USB using the command line as per the official Antergos wiki. This seems to have been a success:
*449+1 records in
449+1 records out
1884717056 bytes (1.9 GB) copied, 291.559 s, 6.5 MB/s
However, when attempting to start the new laptop, Antergos was not in the list of operating systems (I was only offered FreeDos and "HP Documents").
Does anyone have any ideas what could be done?

Perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of one of the most bizarre alleged crime sprees in NFL history comes from the fact that accused serial rapist Darren Sharper remains employed by the NFL.
Suspended indefinitely without pay by NFL Network after he was arrested last month on suspicion of rape in Los Angeles, Sharper remained suspended without pay after documents filed two weeks ago in connection with a bail hearing detailed claims of drugged victims of sexual assault in four different states: California, Louisiana, Nevada, and Arizona. (A similar accusation has since surfaced in Florida.)
In the wake of Sharper's arrest on charges of multiple additional rapes in Louisiana, NFL Network has not responded to an updated inquiry sent early Friday morning regarding Sharper's status.
While Sharper, who spent 12 years in the NFL with the Packers, Vikings, and Saints, is entitled to the presumption of innocence and all other Constitutional protections in connection with the pending criminal charges, a private employer isn't bound by concepts aimed at keeping innocent citizens out of prison. The NFL, which claims to hold all employees to a high standard of behavior, can conduct its own internal investigation (as it has done with multiple players) and take more decisive action than applying an indefinite suspension without pay.
Until that happens, the NFL continues to employ a man who faces very serious accusations of drugging multiple women in multiple states and raping them while they were unconscious.

What are the causes of homelessness?
In most cases, there is no single factor that causes an individual or family to become homeless. Each situation is unique and often complex. We do know that homelessness is closely linked to poverty. When individuals and families cannot generate enough income to meet their basic needs, homelessness is a common result. In King County, there are several primary issues that have been identified as part of a "housing crisis," including lack of affordable housing, lack of educational and employment opportunities, unequal access to health care and treatment, and domestic violence. The Committee to End Homelessness has conducted extensive research on the issue of homelessness in King County. For more detailed information, click here.
How many people are homeless in King County? In Washington State?
On any given night in King County, there are more than 8,000 people who are experiencing the effects of homelessness, including 2,000 children. Statewide, this number increases to more than 20,000, nearly half of which are families. Four out of every ten children in Washington State live in families that struggle to meet basic needs.
How can I help make a difference?
