Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-In Cream Reviews
Smells AwesomeA leave in conditioner that feels light and smells awesome? This drugstore wonder by Neutrogena does an incredible job on my thick dry hair. It brings out the waves without leaving it greasy or heavy, and it smells absolutely amazing, both fruity and coconutty. When I am done with the bottle, I will probably purchase it again. — 5 years, 3 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

SilkyThis is a bit heavier than many leave-ins I've tried, so I would recommend it for pretty dry, thick hair. It absolutely gives my hair added moisture without weighing it down or making it greasy. I use about 2 dime size dollops scrunched throughout my hair. All the oils really deliver! Also, it smells GREAT. — 6 years, 4 months agoazdrienne | 120 reviews

Wonderful!Really cheap and does a great job! This really works, and a little goes a long way. Smooth a little bit of this on your ends and you're good to go! It's also a good idea to coat your ends with this before you flat iron- the results are beautiful, really smooth and shiny. — 9 years, 5 months agoModernDayWriter | 205 reviews

Not for fine hairThis leave-in conditioner even smells like it works; buttery and sweet smelling, it leaves hair soft and manageable but beware fine-haired friends, it can make this hair type appear dull and flat (even with a small amount). — 9 years, 8 months agocherrypie | 196 reviews

Nice TouchGreat product-I am wary of leave-in's as they can be heavy or make your hair feel greasy over time but this one is a winner. It has a light touch but adds smoothness and manageability-your hair really does feel like it was touched by silk. It also smells nice too-which always wins points with me. — 7 years, 9 months agoOhMandy | 199 reviews

Ok for everydayI love the shampoos and conditioner in this line so I was a little disappointed with this product. Its not bad, just not as effective at treating my very dry hair. It smells nice and is a light creamy product that absorbs pretty well. Its just does not do a whole lot other than light hydration that goes away after an hour or so. I did not add shine or defrizz either. But id you are just looking for something light for mild hydration, its fine. — 2 years, 6 months agomariaaggie | 42 reviews
pretty goodThis is pretty good for a drug store brand. It isn't as effective as salon products, but it will do in a pinch. — 3 years agojef119 | 120 reviews

Earlier this week, freelance reporter for the Irish Independent Lisa Jewell approached Bride and Joy with a pickle: How can you save money when attending a
We've all thought of ways to creatively save money when having our own big day, but what about when you're attending someone else's? It's a fact of life that couples who are getting married will probably get invited to friends' or relations' weddings. Here's how to cut the costs without curbing the celebrations:
- Once you know you are definitely invited, keep an eye on the group purchasing websites such as CityDeal and LivingSocial for cheap deals on hotels in the vicinity of the wedding. Make sure to read the fine print though, especially if the wedding is on a Saturday night because often there are limitations on the vouchers' use.
- If it's a family wedding or you know that there will be a big group of you staying at the same hotel, ring reception directly and ask for a group discount.
- Never assume the 'Guest' rate is the best rate – check the hotel's website to make sure you're getting the best deal.
- B&Bs are generally more budget-friendly.
- If you are attending a wedding abroad and decide to book hotel and flight separately, aim to book flights 6-8 weeks before the date you wish to travel, as these are generally when the best deals are on offer.
- If it's feasible, consider designating a driver and travel home that night. This is especially handy if there's a pregnant lady or non-drinker in your party.
- Alternatively, get together with other guests who live near you and price around for minibus hire to bring you to/from.
- When choosing gifts, practical is the order of the day. No matter how big or small your budget is, a waste of money is still money wasted. Vouchers and cash are the gifts of choice, with wedding lists staying popular and honey money is a new trend which will ensure that your gift is good value for the couple.
- When it comes to dressing for weddings, there are lots of things you can do to make sure you're not overspending. If you have a friend that's the same dress size as you, do a swap. If you both have weddings to go to, you both get a dress for nothing and you won't have to face it hanging in your wardrobe waiting for the next suitable occasion for years to come.
- Consider renting a dress from a shop like Covet who hire designer dresses and accessories from the world's leading designers, and vintage pieces for a fraction of the retail price.
- If you have a number of weddings in the one season, invest in a little black dress which you can accessorize differently depending on the wedding. New Look and Penneys are great for shoes and handbags to transform the look of your LBD.
- Paint your own nails and do your own makeup instead of enlisting professional help.
- DIY false tan is a bit trickier, but with a bit of practice you will get the hang of it. It's actually a trend that's on decline, so if you decide to go without tan you'll be bang on-trend.
- Doing your own hair will also save you money, especially if you have a set of straighteners languishing in a drawer somewhere. A decent GHD job will give the hairdressers a run for their money any day.
- And don't forget, YouTube is your best friend for makeup and up-style tutorials. It's worth doing a trial run a few days before to make sure everything's perfect.
On the Day
- Alternate alcoholic drinks with water or soft drinks. Not only will this help you pace yourself but it will save you money too.
Finally, if you really CAN'T afford it…
- If you really can't afford to go to a wedding you have been invited to – provided it's not a close friend or family member's big day – graciously decline with regret. Never say you are going to go and then not show up. The couple will have already paid for your meal so they will be out of pocket unnecessarily. It's courteous to give as much notice as you can but it's not a sin to turn down an invitation that will send you into a financial tailspin. Your friends will understand.

By Michelle Sartor and Young Soo YangEarly this morning, reports of possible stowaways in a container ship caused federal agents and media to converge at Port Newark. The massive response reflects the heightened security surrounding U.S. ports since the attacks of Sept. 11. Since then, sweeping changes in national security measures have put in place a layered and interlocking system that involves the U.S. Coast Guard, Customs, various law enforcement agencies and immigration officials, coordinated and grouped by the Department of Homeland Security.
When it comes to stowaways who reach the U.S. by air and sea, the approach to unlawful entry is not as simple as when crossing the border over land. Stowaways are taken to a nearby detention center, where they are expected to be deported. To avoid immediate deportation, stowaways could request asylum and are permitted to remain in the U.S. while their requests for asylum are considered. If any have relatives in this country, they could also petition to stay here.
Stowaways are not new. Reports go back to the 1800s of ship crew members finding unwanted passengers with cargo. Even in recent years, stowaways have been found on ships and airplanes.
The end result isn't always peaceful. A group of nine African stowaways were found on the cargo ship McRuby in 1992 by crew members. The crew murdered eight of them. The sole survivor was Kingsley Ofosu of Ghana who witnessed his brother and friends killed but was able to hide and escape the crew members who were afraid they would lose their jobs if they arrived in Europe with the unwanted passengers. The TV movie "Deadly Voyage," which aired in 1996, chronicled Ofosu's ordeal. A book was also written on the subject.
Another tragic ending happened Jan. 15, 2011 when ninth-grader Qasim Siddique fell to his death after stowing away on an Air Blue flight that was flying from Allama Igbal International Airport in Lahore to Dubai.
Investigators said Siddique fell from the plane during takeoff after the pilot reported a malfunction with the plane's wheels.
A 20-year-old stowaway from Romania successfully traveled from Vienna to Britain in the undercarriage of a plane in June 2010. Officials took him into custody at Heathrow Airport after he fell out of the landing gear, suffering minor injuries. He was freed after the ordeal.
In Montreal, two men were taken into custody this past April after sneaking onto the hold of a cargo ship that came from western Africa. The men were deemed healthy and referred to immigration officials.
Not all reports of stowaways end up materializing. In September of 2000, the crew of the cargo ship called the Manoa traveling from Alaska to California reported hearing pounding from inside a shipping container. The ship's captain diverted the vessel to the nearest port where U.S. officials found 11 tons of human hair meant for wigs instead of stowaways.

New Jersey Town Hall and Three Statements
Your comments are welcome.

Display comments as (Linear | Threaded)
Three powerful statements--the more so since they were delivered in front of Metropolitan Herman. And all he can do is sit there, like a bump on a log, looking alternately bored and disgruntled. What a paragon of sanctity and leadership!
It is far past time that this "paragon" was ridden out of town on a rail--tarred and feathered. Then we could all claim to be "Bolshies" in the inimical phrase of one the Metropolitan's sycophantic acolytes.
I do hope some memorable event is being planned for the AAC in November.
#1 Kenneth R. Tobin on 2008-08-11 08:35
Same old, same old. Even + Herman sat there and no one stuck a fork in him to tell him HE'S WELL-DONE! How ridiculous is this to go on and on with this when what is needed is + Herman's resignation? Where are the civil suits against these people? These people are thieves. Doesn't anyone have the cajones to remove the problem? Is the MC still emasculated? How are you going to heal when the cancer is still in place?
#2 Ano-nymous on 2008-08-11 11:04
I agree with Fr. Ivanoff and especially on one point. That is the churches strategic direction is best shown by its spending and spending on evangelism is insufficient.
Other priests in the NJ town hall also asked to change Fair Share to tithing. I believe tithing is a first step at the parish level to stop the lies and start telling the truth and I believe tithing/giving can help the church evangelize. Ultimately, tithing/giving should result in no net financial change for the national church in year one. I know the annual budgets of two churches and both are just above tithing with the Fair Share calculation.
A church that is currently spending say 14k on a general fund budget of 100k is giving at 14%. A church that is currently spending say 8k on a general fund budget of 80k is tithing at 10%. These amounts should remain the same in the first year. Only the Diocesan Bishop could change the amounts and he could only change them within a range (say 5 to 15%) and within a range (say 1%) for any given year. As far as headcounts are concerned, measure the priest's performance on the Sacraments; not cash flow.
I can think of so many positives from this change. For a small new mission church with an annual budget of 80k, rather than requiring them to give a tithe or 10%, the Bishop could ask them for 5% and to use the other 5% for debt service or building fund escrows, etc. For a well established church with no building debt and a financially healthy parish, they can afford to give say 14%.
I am entirely disgusted with the notion that a small parish in Alaska with 40 members must lie about assessments and I am equally disgusted with priests and parishes trying to determine their 'membership' headcounts with a crystal ball every year. Its more absurd than budgeting and we all know it.
Another positive is that the priest doesn't need to tell a newcomer who is considering Orthoxy we have a 200 dollar annual membership fee.
On the downside, the Diocesan Bishop would need to review his parishes and their amounts and each church would need to submit a request for a change to the Bishop and/or the Bishops would need to submit a request for a change to the parish. The Bishop might also need to use another gauge for performance to determine the needs for missions where there isn't much money in neighboring communities, but lots of people..
Has this ever been proposed in a Resolution at any previous AAC?
In an earlier thread, someone mentioned the ADM monies were given from 1992 to 1996 under a different OCA Treasurer, but noone names that person. Who was it? Was it Dn. Wheeler and weren't the monies landed in other accounts or am I missing another piece?
#3 Daniel E. Fall on 2008-08-11 19:01
AMEN to the commentaries on tithing. It works for the Diocese of the South, and there is no reason that it can't work elsewhere. Transition from the "head tax" to the tithe would require a lot of hard work, some creative thinking, and a willingness to be responsive to the circumstances of the constituent parishes and missions and, above all else, a good deal of faith and courage at each level of our church. The dioceses need to formulate their own strategies for implementation, rather than sit and wait for a resolution of the existing leadership crisis in our church.
Milos Konjevich, Treasurer
Diocese of the South
#3.1 Milos Konjevich on 2008-08-12 09:34
Daniel, if you knew the parish that Michael Geeza attends and who his parish priest is, you would have gotten the subtely of the comment. Mr. Geeza is a parishioner of Wayne, NJ. Fr. Paul Kucynda is the priest. Kucynda was the treasurer from 1989-1996. Eric Wheeler took over from Kucynda and shortly thereafter noticed the irregularities of the books. What does that imply to you? The lightening fast run of Herman and Kucynda to Proskauer Rose after firing Kondratick makes it look all the more suspicious, no?
Kucynda is also the parish priest of Larry Tosi, treasurer of the DC diocese who said we can't handle the truth and famous for the numberless treasurer reports were doing so good, who NEEDS to see numbers? Larry is the brother of Fr. Eric, the new OCA Secretary, also hailing from Fr. Paul's parish. But they want you to believe that new people have come in, people who's names you probably aren't familiar with (since you didn't know the treasurer in 92-96), like Fr. Eric Tosi. Fr. Eric Tosi is not only a former son of Wayne, he's also took over the highly valued Las Vegas parish after Nikolai shuffled off to Alaska - you think they give that to ANYONE? He also took over for Kucynda in the missions department. His brother has been diocesan treasurer for 10 years. He's no outsider, he's no new name, just one more of the second tier people from the administration past brought in to fool you into thinking things have changed. Theres too much to hide, too much that can cause damage for them to gamble in putting in someone they dont know, they dont trust, they cant coerce. Don't buy it for a second that things have changed.
#3.2 Anonymous on 2008-08-12 11:28
Does anyone else find all these roads leading to Wayne odd. This comment needs to be read over and over again until it sinks in.
#3.2.1 no name on 2008-08-12 12:33
And lest we forget, Fr Eric Tosi's father-in-law is Archpriest Joseph Lickwar, who's daughter is Fr Eric Tosi's wife!!!!!
#3.2.2 Anonymous on 2008-08-12 12:34
And Fr Lickwar is the Chancellor for Herman in the New York/Washington diocese.
The fix continues to be in .....

Perhaps this is could be an option.
The Greek Orthodox Church says it wants to convert a 17th Century monastery into a prison for convicted clerics.
The Holy Synod has applied for permission to turn the Hrysopighi monastery in the southern Peloponnese peninsula into a correctional facility.
It hopes the recently convicted Bishop of Attica, Panteleimon, will be able to serve out his six-year sentence for embezzlement in the monastery.
The plan could later be extended to other errant priests, officials said.
Panteleimon, who is in his 70s, was convicted a month ago of embezzling around 200,000 euros ($317,000; £158,000) from a monastery under his jurisdiction.
Greek news reports say he is currently having a tough time in the country's top security Korydallos prison, suffering from taunts by fellow prisoners.
But the proposal to move him to what the Synod calls more "appropriate surroundings" has aroused considerable opposition from people who believe that convicted priests should endure the same conditions as other law-breakers, says the BBC's Malcolm Brabant in Athens.
Panteleimon is the most high-profile cleric in jail, but another influential priest is facing trial for allegedly bribing judges, while the authorities have accused members of a rebel monastery on Mount Athos - Greece's semi-autonomous religious enclave - of embezzling Church property.
They deny the allegations against them.
#4 FT on 2008-08-12 06:21
Most of the reflections that have been posted the last month or so have been very encouraging in terms of stating a solidarity that the OCA must be committed to a higher calling and integrity than from "embezzlement" as so stated by our recent OCA treasurer.
This is very encouraging and inspiring as we near the joint Holy Synod and Metropolitan Council meeting to be held September 3rd throuh 5th.
Mark Stokoe has provided a website in which we can become of common voice to help all of us reach that higher level of honesty and integrity that may have been very difficult otherwise.
The upcoming joint session of the HS and MC to discuss the SIC report, of which WE THE FAITHFUL are supposed to also see, should really hopefully set a new course for the OCA.
Dear Metropolitan Herman:
Your fight to mataing your current position should be well broken after that report is out. You may already know that. And you will be staring at probably some 40-50 people, well versed in the recent past events, at that joint sesssion in September who will most likely use even greater voice for your retirement or resignation.
This is not a bad thing.
Rejoice at the years you will have left to meditate, reflect, repent, and help the church in ways you may not even have thought of yet.

Mat. Mariam Vernak, in her impressive letter included this: "..The upcoming AAC will be able to address my concerns.......only if all is disclosed so that we can start afresh..."
I think most who have been reading everything available will agree that the present leadership expects this present 'town hall' exercise will provide everyone a chance to 'vent' so that everyone will then 'feel better having accomplished nothing beyond venting' with the intention that nothing important enough to lead to health will change.
Still there is the hiding of information, the sham further 'accountability investigative committees' that remind a person of very active hamsters constantly moving within the pre-set limits of their cage so as to give the appearance of 'productive activity'. Still we see Mr. Nescott facing shenanigans from the 'boys (not men) in black' when trying to do basic prep-work.
Therefore those who will attend the AAC should agree in advance upon a plan of action to be implemented in the context of lack of truth, hiding or delaying information, or more or less, more shenanigans.
The AAC members should agree in advance upon an action to be implemented that makes the assumption that the darkest plausable interpretation of events is true. If should transparency and truth not happen at the AAC, adopt that resolution.
#6 Harry Coin on 2008-08-12 07:33
Mr Coin,
What OCA parish do you belong to? Are you a member of the OCA or a member of the GOA?
#6.1 Just Curious on 2008-08-12 11:48
I don't know Harry Coin, and I doubt he needs my commentary, but I'll offer some defense.
Regardless of GOA, OCA, Antiochian, Romanian, Serbian, I take it Harry Coin is Orthodox. Would you also ask, Am I my brother's keeper?
Orthodoxy first (which includes telling the truth); Ethnicity second or somewhere further down the line. The OCA could use all the help it can get from truly caring and faithful members of the Orthodox community and even beyond.
We just returned from Matushka Slimak's panikida tonight. I'll offer a couple of quick comments as I found the gathering to be in many ways more important and more significant than any of these town hall meetings. I attended the Cleveland meeting and posted some comments on the Yahoo forum. These are not Town Hall meetings; there is no response from the Hierarchs. The discussion is a one way street. Quite frankly, this OCA News site has provided much, much more of a true Town Hall Forum. If the Hierarchs don't know where the OCA laity (and former laity) stand, I'll gladly print them a copy of the history of this site, all its documents, and comments free of charge. The Town Hall concept was a good idea, but without dialogue from the leadership, they have proven to be a waste of time and money. Yes, Fr. Tasos comments on a lack of money for the forensic accounting investigation. The town halls have not been a huge expense for the administration, but add to it the cost of the clergy and laity driving long distances to attend these meetings and you have more time and money being wasted.
No, tonight's Panikida offered greater inspiration. Fr. Slimak was seated in his wheelchair with his oxygen next to his beloved. At the conclusion of the service and singing of Memory Eternal, Fr. Basil sang Vechnaya Pamyat by himself, and loud enough for the entire congregation to hear. That was moving, and when we walked up to offer a farewell kiss, Fr. Basil was positioned with a cross for veneration and offered the words "Jesus Christ is among us". He did not use the shorter and more common "Christ is among us". Perhaps it's nothing, but his words "Jesus Christ is among us" still resonate in my head. Or perhaps it was Fr. Basil's condition. He did not appear well. Yet many of us hear his typed voice on the Forum and his unending call for the OCA members to call the police. Call the police in S. Cannan, call the police in Syosset, call the FBI, call the NY State Attorney General. Yes, he is sometimes caustic, but here is this severly weakened man and he can see through all the BS. He's been sounding the police siren for several years now. I hope he gets to see some justice. Fr. Tasos has identified embezzlement, and a lack of money for the forensics. Has he filed the claim with the OCA insurance carrier to begin the recovery? Surely the Chancellor was a bonded employee? Fr. Tasos, is it not your duty to God and man to report the theft to the police?
During the reception following the service, I chatted with a few folks. Some are still scared about the statement that "The truth will kill the church". I spread my arms for a huddle and commented, the truth will not kill the church, we are the church. Pat, you and me and Kathy and Ted and Alice and Erin and the brave priests and Hierarch who can stand up for the truth are the church. No, what could kill the OCA is allowing the evil to continue and grow. It's allowing millions in donations to be diverted to illicit spending. Allowing the secrets to remain underground and continuing to feed the monster is what will kill the Truth that is dwindling in the OCA. Face reality, you have received the gift of the True Faith (Capital T) and you fear that the truth (small t) will kill the church? Nonsense!
I reflected tonight on the deafening silence of so many priests and hierarchs, do you not fear God? Will you be remembered as Fr. Slimak - aged, tired, weak, saddened by his loss, but still with the strength to call for truth and honesty, or will you stand by and remain complicit, proclaiming the Gospel, but turning a blind eye? Perhaps you will shun (yes, the Amish/Mennonite response) those Orthodox brethren who cry for justice. Yes, I've also seen worse, with brothers trying to intimidate those asking for the truth (What happened after the Cleveland Town Hall meeting? What is happening at the Ansonia council meetings?). Do the clergy, laity and hierarchs of the OCA fear the truth or do they fear The Lord? The truth in this crisis is the only hope for rebirth of the OCA. There is no doubt, the Lord is watching which paths are being selected. In this case, the easy path is the path of truth; the difficult trail is that of lies, cover-up, deception, shunning and intimidation. Don't mock God, pick the easy path, it leads to a better place.
Memory Eternal, Matushka Slimak.

Sorry to say, that my brief comment was not printed or included in these comments.
All I asked was what is a "TOWN HALL" Meeting?
My comnments I surmise are not important to your town hall meetings because I probably struck some truthful nerves!
All talk, talk,talk,talk it seems. The grassroots have no idea what is happenning at all these TOWN HALL MEETINGS? Very political, as far as I can understand the situation.
Why don't we just live our Christian, Orthodox life in the Light of the Gospels? Then perhaps all these power struggles will cease once and for all
#7 annonymous on 2008-08-12 07:35
How nice? Herman has ordered the rest of the Synod to be quiet at the town halls? Their presence nothing more than to be a paperweight on the chair. Nothing like loudly proclaiming the Gospel and living the truth, eh? Oh, that's right, we need a SPECIAL resolution at the AAC to tell the truth. So, until THAT gets passed the bishops can be silent or lie as much as they want, irrespective of what the Gospel teaches. Maybe Herman will turn his head at the word Hypocrite and Godless as he did at Fraud. Sounds like that word hit a nerve!
The order to keep the bishops quiet is another fact in the proof that these guys are in danger of civil penalities. Herman put out the gag order so that they say NOTHING that would incriminate him or themselves. This wasn't like one of Clinton's "listening tours", this was stonewalling, this was a sign of being scared. A sign that something might be coming down the pike shortly? If you think they are going to speak at the AAC, take this as the sign that there's nary a word they are going to speak at the AAC concerning this. And if they aren't going to speak, they aren't going to stand for much of it to be spoken, officially, by others as well. Get over the fantasy that the AAC is going to do any good.
That gag order speaks volumes of the reach of the criminality that is rampant upon the bishops in the Synod. Its incredible now that each of them have been told to keep quiet. I would suppose that that conference call they had earlier this month dealt a lot to do with that. Herman and lawyers might have felt these guys were saying a lot more than they should which should be nothing.
Keep up the pressure people....

You speak of the bishops being told not to say much at the Town Hall meetings. That could be an effort to keep them from saying anything that +Herman and the lawyers believe is better left unsaid, I suppose. The party line explanation is that the Town Hall meetings were designed to "listen" to the people, not to lecture, nor explain, nor enter a dialogue. The two concepts are of course, highly compatible.
I thought it was interesting that at the Bethlehem Town Hall (EPA), the host rector, who happens to have been OCA Treasurer from 2001-2005, made a point of not attending the meeting, though he strolled through several times, on his way to the kitchen. Rumor was, and it is only a rumor, that he had been advised by the lawyers to steer clear of a public situation in which someone might ask him something. ...
Perhaps there are other explanations for absences of this sort, and yet, under the current circumstances, there is nothing but suspicion and distrust, an inevitable outcome of the way this mess has been handled. Cate

Father Shafran - we DO want to move ahead but haven't gained a fraction of an inch in three years! During that time, many have abandoned the OCA and more will drop out because there is no trust in our leadership. Our metropolitan and bishops have heard from enough people to know wherein lay the problems towards moving forward. This is not a case for blind faith in a leadership that has repeatedly lined its own pockets, committed immoral deeds, and turned a blind eye and deaf ear to our rehtoric.
You bet we're angry and will continue to be so until there is satisfactory resolution or we drop out and turn our backs on the OCA.

I have to say that I am very sad that the respose to the scandal and the outrageous conduct of the SOB'S has been so weak.
Look at the numbers on the comment section here, and on the Herman petition. Where are the large numbers? Where is the outrage?
The AAC will be in Pittbgh and I see no real grass roots organizing of protests. ...
We need action. We need new bishops, and even a new look at the administration. Fire the bottom dwelling lawyers, dump these bishops. It is long past time to take this Church back from the soiled hands of its custodians.
Each of us, must go back to our parishes and ORGANIZE.
Think about it, then do it! Stokoe can't carry the burden himself, no one is doing their fair share. Let's get the vote out!
#10 no name on 2008-08-12 14:47
Before you go making assumptions about the numbers on the petition, consider first there are only about 27k members. Of those 27 thousand, expect at least six thousand are not internet users, so that gets you down to at least 21k possible signers. Now consider that of the 21k, at least half, if not more are quite content to go through life going to church and nothing more. Gives you 11k. Now consider that at least half of those don't want to risk any chastisement from the church for asking for Herman's resignation, gives you 6k. Now consider about 2/3rds of the rest have given full credit to Kondratick and you are down to the 1-2k that actually signed.
Taking a look at my own reasons for signing it. I would have never signed it except for what the Metropolitan pulled with Nescott. Keep a powerful, but thieving priest around for years, but fire a powerless MC member? That's an abuse of power.
To be frank, I feel sorry for the Metropolitan. His is an incredible comedy of errors and I think that is being nice.
To be even more frank, I can't think of any member of the Synod that should be Metropolitan.

Now the Met says all bishops are *instructed to say nothing*? So he will do he same? Well, with such outstanding leadership I think it's clear how things got this way. For some centuries it would appear there has been a cult of bachelorhood we've been forced to venerate and honor. Completely apart from any idea of bishops in the Church. It is now apparent, if it weren't before, that this parallel faith along side Orthodox Christianity is false. The bishops are instructed to say nothing. This is nothing less than insulting. They are supposedly teachers, pastors. They are remembered "among the first" in petitions in the liturgy, they take the first place in everything and have betrayed the trust placed in them. It's time to fire the lot. Time for them to get actual jobs. Time for elections. Real elections. There's room in Australia for lots more of them.

Bellevision Media Network
Mangalore, 29 Jun 2014: District Congress Committee (DCC) activists accorded warm welcome to new MLC Ivan D'Souza when he arrived at city airport here on Saturday June 28 by garlands and also bursting crackers in front of DCC office here.
DCC acting president Ibrahim Kodijal said, 'I congratulate Ivan D'Souza on behalf of DCC and the party workers. It is a good tradition to thank the party workers and the leaders by visiting the Congress office after gaining a position of power.'

Israeli Army storms Internet Cafés in Jerusalem. 25 Activists Arrested
Israeli soldiers stormed internet cafés in occupied East Jerusalem and arrested 25 for "incitement against the Israeli army".
nsnbc , – On the evening of Wednesday, 6 November, soldiers of Israels occupation forces in East Jerusalem stormed several internet cafés. The operation was intended to crack down on Palestinian activists who use social media networks and social media sites to inform the international community about, and to oppose the illegal occupation of Palestine.
The crackdown resulted in the arrest of 25 young Palestinians who allegedly were activists, who according to Israeli sources, used social media to incite against the Israeli army.
Some of the themes that have dominated the discourse over the recent days is the possible collapse of direct talks between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority as well as the results of the Swiss forensic expert's report which indicates, that the late Palestinian leader, Yassir Arafat, has been poisoned with polonium. The latest round of direct talks between Palestine and Israel collapsed in a crisis after Israel announced its true intentions, to permanently annex East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley.
There is a growing atmosphere of resentment among young Palestinian activists, not only with Israel as the occupying power, but also with the Palestinian Authority who is by many perceived as being corrupted and co-opted by Western interests and not representative of the culture of resistance against the more than six decades long, illegal occupation.
The International Middle East Media Center, IMEMC, quotes the head of the Jerusalem office of the Palestinian Prisoner Society, Abu Qous, as saying that the soldiers invaded a large number of internet coffee shops and computer stores in the occupied city, searching the premises and arresting 25. Qous reportedly added, that fifteen have been released, while the remaining ten will be sent to the District Court in Jerusalem, to be charged with incitement against the army.

Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion,
Okay, Well first of all I have eczema & have been searching literally my whole life for a decent drugstore lotion that actually moisturized my skin & kept it that way. This is it!
I have used it for at least 5 years, Every day after I shower & it lasts all day.
I have occasionally tried to switch to something more cheaper, since this is on the expensive side for body lotion, but after going through a tub of St.Ives I had a stubborn rash on my arm, probably from the dry winter, but after 2 uses of Aveeno it was cleared up and gone!
Definitely recommended for anyone with dry skin,
I'm Never going to buy anything else ;-)

[CP] Time flies
Dear citizens of Switzerland,
this is my last message to you as your President (for now
😉). A month has gone by quickly and when I reflect back on the promises I made, I'm happy with the results. We have achieved our goals for this mandate. Switzerland has made a great progress in CoT, having Military Commander and the Supreme Commander the same month and it is my pleasure to see it was an important month and everything in the alliance went according to plan.
Especially I would like to thank:
- Hoffman12 for being one of the most active MoFAs over the past few months and writing great articles;
- plasmakp, for being a good successor of mine in the MoD department;
- Trogdorthetroll100, for great work as DoE and making it work like a charm even with a small amount of people;
- and last but not least Lotus Black, for all the time and efforts spent on CoT this month.
I hope you will think back on my mandate as one of the successful ones and that it was a remarkable one in swiss history.
I cannot stress enough, that it is important, now more than ever, that we stand together and fight. To be united. Therefore I give my full support to our united candidate, who has always been there for Switzerland. The official watchdog for many months, that has decided to fight in the front lines once more. All my support goes to Rican for the next CP of Switzerland!
Thank you Switzerland!
We were honored to have you serving us as president! x3
& thanks for your support
you are one subscription away from your 2nd MM medal !!!!

Port forwarding
encapsulates the TCP-based communication session between the SSH client and
the SSH server programs. Any TCP-based application or service can use port
forwarding to take advantage of all the benefits of SSH. Using port forwarding,
SSH allows you to establish a "secure tunnel" between two hosts, through which the participating applications
operate transparently. For example, when you forward a regular TELNET connection
through SSH, all information, including your user name, password, and actual
data, are automatically encrypted and checked for integrity.
X11 port forwarding encrypts the X protocol (for X Window Systems).
Using SSH, you can invoke X programs on a remote machine and have them appear
on your local display. In this case, all X-protocol data is secured. For more
information, see Chapter 5.

Martha Martin-Bermudez and Sergio Romero agree a lot has changed for Hispanic immigrants in the past quarter century. When Martin-Bermudez came to the United States from Mexico in the 1970s and Romero came in the 1980s, they each were wide-eyed and curious.
Martin-Bermudez, who was 8 years old at the time, was in awe of the snow blanketing eastern Idaho's farmlands when she arrived in the late 1970s.
About a decade later, Romero was giddy at the notion of life on his own as he entered the U.S.
"I felt like a child with a new toy," Romero says.
He was in his early 20s when he crossed the border with vague plans to meet a friend in Provo, Utah, in the middle of the night.[0x0b]
Now 50, Romero laughs at how unclear his goals were. In the time since, he's become more organized and precise.
With little more than a jovial tug of his thick mustache, he recites the exact date he entered the states: Sept. 17, 1986.
Martin-Bermudez was a child when she rode in a car across the West as her family followed her father to his job in Blackfoot.
Now 43, she struggles to remember being overly upset or anxious; she was too young to fully comprehend the move. But she remembers more of that day than she originally anticipated.
Her eyes glossed over as she recalled stepping out of the car and landing on American soil — and the bittersweet memories the moment left behind.
Romero and Martin-Bermudez are hopeful about the immigration bill that passed the Senate and is now before the House of Representatives.
They're legal now, but they both came here as undocumented immigrants, leaving behind little trace beyond the tire tracks they made on the highways of the American West.
They lived quietly to avoid being deported. Romero dreaded trips to the grocery store. Martin-Bermudez lived in constant fear of the shrill yell — "La Migra!" — sounding the alarm that immigration police officers were nearby.
Today, Romero is a Spanish teacher at Idaho Falls High School. Martin-Bermudez is a real estate agent for Keller Williams Realty. They're both members of what many call an emerging social class in Idaho: Hispanic professionals.
In 2000, there were about 4,500 Hispanic professionals, officials or managers in Idaho, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By 2011, the Census Bureau estimated there were about 8,200 Hispanics filling such positions in the state.
Many of these workers are the U.S.-born sons and daughters of immigrants, says Carmen Gonzales, executive director of the Idaho Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. But others, such as Romero and Martin-Bermudez, came to the U.S. hoping for a slow climb out of poverty.
Gonzales credits this Hispanic sense of entrepreneurialism for the growth she's seen throughout the state.
The Idaho Hispanic Chamber had 27 members in March. By the beginning of August, Gonzales says, that number had more than doubled to 70.
Romero says when he first settled in the Idaho Falls area, he was hard-pressed to find one Mexican restaurant, let alone a Latino-owned business of any kind.
In the time since, he says, government and nonprofit aid to immigrants from Latin America has allowed the population to flourish.
He's thankful new immigrants won't feel as lonely as he felt 27 years ago. Romero says he sees himself as a role model for Latino students in Idaho Falls School District 91.
"I spent a lot of time to finish my (degree at Idaho State University). It took me 20 years to finish ... I like to motivate kids in the schools to continue," he says. "It doesn't matter if you have struggles or anything in your life. You can remove that. I was pretty close to saying, 'No mas, no more, I don't want to do this.' "
Martin-Bermudez agrees that Latinos are feeling more comfortable in Idaho. And the comfort isn't only when dealing with fellow Latinos. She says the rise of Latino professionals has shown native Idahoans that Latinos are an essential part of the economy.
When Martin-Bermudez started selling real estate 16 years ago, she says other real estate agents would refer manufactured houses to her, saying the homes were for "your kind of people."
"The image Latinos had here ... (was) just looked down on," she says.
Today, her fellow real estate agents embrace the cultural differences. "I think you don't find that much discrimination among agents anymore, because there are a lot of buyers that are Latinos."
Still, Martin-Bermudez says more Latino professionals and Latino-owned businesses are needed as more immigrants from Latin America settle in Idaho.
Martin-Bermudez became a U.S. citizen two years ago, but keeps her Mexican heritage alive through her work. She says about 90 percent of her clients are Latinos — many of whom hope to buy their first homes in the U.S.
It's a struggle that Martin-Bermudez's family faced 30 years ago. Her father's knowledge of English came from prime-time television shows, particularly "Bonanza" and "The Brady Bunch," that she would translate.
She doesn't want future generations of immigrants to face the same strife her family endured. Martin-Bermudez says both of her parents worked long days in the potato fields to make ends meet.
"I deal with so many people that don't have their legal status that call me and want to buy a house. They want to make that dream come true," Martin-Bermudez says. "... The fact the Senate has passed this bill is just wonderful and is a wonderful thing because I do feel we all need to have that opportunity. ... One person can ruin it for everybody, but the majority of people are good people and hard-working people, and they are in hiding and they're not accounted for."
Romero says the bill would benefit many of his friends who want to become citizens, though he doubts it would halt undocumented immigration. But Romero is proud of the progress the government has made in its treatment of immigrants — undocumented and documented.
"The Latinos have businesses now because they have rights," he says. "In the past, maybe they wanted to do something like create a business, but if you are illegal, you can't do anything. You hide from the government."
Romero says he has no regrets about coming to the U.S. and becoming a citizen in 1998. He plans to run for public office someday.
"I have many things to do in this country," he says.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer. By the way, it would help us to know:
-What is his age?
-Other than that issues how do you get along?Thank you again for trusting us with your problem. Please reply as soon as possible so that we can finish answering your question.
he is 32 and i'm 30... we've been together for a total of 15yrs. He had x2 partners before we were together.
We've been through alot together. I lost my mum in a car accident that i was driving, his best friend was killed from a motor bike accident and he tried to revive him, i have had ovarian cancer and was close to death..... i'm sorry its alot of stuff.
So i guess this issue may have come up sooner if it wasnt for the tradgedies that have made us be ther for each other.
We get on really well and would love to continue our relationship and get through this issue, and be stronger together for it.
He may be suffer early signs of a midlife crisis most people who go through a midlife crisis sometimes feel like they have wasted their life away especially as they get older and start to feel old, even though midlife crisis usually start in men 35-50 years old it can sometimes start early for some men. Your husband has suffered alot of deaths and near deaths and he is starting to reevaluate his life and his life purpose. Your husband feels like there is more out there for him but really there isn't the dating scene is much different than when he was younger and dating. You are all he has known since he was 17 years old and this is why he is wondering if there is more out there and wants to experience it. This is one of the downfalls of dating at a young age and getting into a long term relationship so soon, years later they wonder if they have missed out. He may be feeling a need to feel younger also.
It may be time to think about Marriage counseling or counseling just for him so that a counselor can figure out why your husband has suddenly had a change of heart about being married and feels he missed out on dating alot of women. Unfortunately this is something that every woman who has ever been married will go through in their lives. It is inevitable that their husband will go through a mid-life crisis and want or end up leaving the wife. When a person goes through these changes and does not have someone qualified to talk to about it they will become extremely angry and it could affect their life with their spouse and family, one of the signs that will signal this change is the fact that he may become more obsessed about how he dresses and try to dress younger, along with doing activities which normally younger people will do.
If you want to save a marriage from something like this, you will have to show some patience. Sooner or later, he will realize what he is doing and come back feeling sheepish. Try to spend some quality time together to get your passion going again. Try to talk to each other like you used to, this will also help. Understand that he is feeling this way because of getting older and not because of you. He really needs to get help and talk to someone other than you possibly a professional who can help him sort out his feelings. He may feel that because of losing his friend and almost losing you that life is too short and he wants to experience things so try to experience new and exciting things together.

The first details for Human Head's Prey 2 have surfaced thanks to GameReactor magazine. The magazine is reporting that the lead character from the original Prey, Tommy, has been removed for a new lead protagonist. Instead, you'll be playing as Killian Samuels, a sheriff and prison guard. The first level of Prey 2 revisits the introductory level of the original Prey from Killian's POV.
Your first look at Killian and his awesome gun comes in the game's first live-action teaser trailer:
Prey 2 has apparently been in development for the last three years, with the Xbox 360 being the lead platform. GameReactor is also reporting that Prey 2 will not make use of either the PS3 or Xbox 360's motion controller, the Move and Kinect, respectively.
Prey 2 will also come sans multiplayer, which developer Human Head explained by comparing Prey 2 against other juggernaut online FPS titles. "Who would pick the MP mode of Prey 2 ahead of the one in, for example, Halo: Reach? We'd rather to a really good SP adventure."
For single player, Prey 2 will let you "go wherever you want, talk to whoever you want, do the missions you want."
Lastly, Prey 2 takes influence from a number of highly popular titles, including Mass Effect, Riddick and Blade Runner. Prey 2 also finds inspiration from DICE's Mirror's Edge, which you'll see in full effect with in-game parkour moments.
Human Head told GameReactor that Killian is "as flexible and limber as Faith of ME, leaping over heights, hanging by arms from pipes, balancing on thin boards and jumping like a cat upwards structures."
Prey 2 will have "the moving scheme from Mirror's Edge, the freedom of Mass Effect and the fire fights of Killzone 2."
That's a tall order; but we're willing to give Human Head the benefit of the doubt right now. Because let's be serious, Prey 2 was just announced. We honestly know too little to judge just yet. But we are very intrigued.

Fox News personality Bill Hemmer dishes on his Sag Harbor hangouts and the seafaring hobby that helps him unwind
Bill Hemmer is no stranger to travel—his innate wanderlust and his career as a broadcast reporter have taken him across the globe, to locations as far-flung as Nepal, China, Iraq, and Israel. But the one place that has perhaps made the biggest impression on the suit-and-tie-clad New Yorker is a little closer to home. "Not long after 9/11, a few friends and I rented a house on Big Fresh Pond in Southampton," he recalls. "I remember that there was a sense of calm and serenity I felt when I got out of New York and into the Hamptons that was almost instant. To me, there's really nothing like being in a beach chair on the shore at low tide."
That experience stayed with the Fox News Channel's America's Newsroom co-host, who about eight years ago found his own place on the sand: a Sag Harbor getaway just a short drive from his busy city life. "I wanted to find somewhere that I could escape without having to get on an airplane," he says, "and this is perfect—it's historic, and there's lots to do and see, but it's quiet and relaxing here. Sag Harbor has become my refuge."
So, too, is his off-the-beaten-path cottage, where he regularly hosts barbecues and get-togethers. "What sold me was the backyard," he says. "It looked like a place of tranquility, and it was large enough so my family and I could all comfortably hang out." It's also where Hemmer perfects his inherent green thumb (his mother is also a gardener) with a medley of oak trees, birch trees, Japanese maples, hydrangeas, honey locusts, and tulips—symbols of the serene departure from the sometimes stressful and somber scenes he covers while reporting on location. "It's impossible to see the things I do in my job and not be affected," he says. "So I come here and try to immerse myself in hobbies that remove me from that part of my life."
And he finds the most solace while at sea, practicing a self-taught sport he picked up during his frequent Hamptons getaways: sailing a 23-foot wooden Ensign on Peconic Bay. "What I like is that it requires you to maintain concentration on the wind or the depth of the water," he says. "It calms the mind." That is, after all, what Hemmer's Hamptons is all about: "I believe you can make the Hamptons whatever you want," he says. "For me, it's all about relaxation."
Here, Hemmer shares the all-American tunes that help him unwind on the sand:

Wanderers injury troubles ease in A-League
Iacopo La Rocca may have played his last game for Western Sydney this season but the Wanderers' injury worries, including key midfielder Shinji Ono, have eased ahead of their maiden A-League finals appearance.
La Rocca was given a straight red card for striking Sydney FC's Terry Antonis in Saturday's pulsating 1-1 draw at Parramatta Stadium and coach Tony Popovic conceded his key utility is likely to be sidelined for some time.
"It was a clear red card, a definite send off," Popovic said.
"A straight red usually means more than a week."
The A-League match review panel will likely decide La Rocca's fate on Monday, the same day Ono is expected to undergo scans on a groin strain.
A ban of three weeks would rule La Rocca out of the Wanderers' final round match against Newcastle on Saturday at Hunter Stadium, their semi-final and the grand final, should they progress.
But Popovic was more buoyant on the future of Ono who was replaced during the Sydney derby draw, which brought the Wanderers' record 10-match winning streak to an end.
"It's a groin ... the other leg ... he will have scans to see how it is," Popovic said.
However it is understood the Wanderers expect Ono will be back on deck for their semi-final in two weeks.
The injury is not a recurrence of the hamstring complaint which had the Japanese international sidelined recently.
Jerome Polenz (quad), who sat out the match with the Sky Blues, is also expected to be fit for the Wanderers' home semi-final in the second week of the finals series.
Captain Michael Beauchamp (quad) and midfielder Aaron Mooy (knee), who were also unavailable for the Sydney derby, are expected to be fit for the match with the Jets.
Defender Adam D'apuzzo (foot) is the other injury worry for the A-League ladder leaders. He is also likely to go for scans on Monday.
While buoyed by the impressive form of his replacement local junior Kwabena Appiah-Kubi, the Wanderers will welcome back Youssouf Hersi from suspension to meet the Jets in their last regular season game.

Guitar Hero
Review by SirDomino
"An excellent piece of work, a future franchise, for sure."
Ah, this is a great game, simply put. It's fairly easy to get into, but difficult to master. When I first heard about this, I admit, I was pretty hesitant. I enjoy rhythm games like DDR and such, but this just seemed like a silly idea. "Guitar Hero? Why would I want to pretend to play guitar? Ever heard of 'Air Guitar'? It's free." Yeah, that's me. But I've seen the error of my ways! Read on, dear reader! Don't make the same mistakes I did, take it with an open mind.
Uh, it's a rhythm game. You start out as a rock-scene grunt, playing itty-bitty little venues, but as you progress through the game's Career Mode, you unlock more songs and stages. I have to say, it's neat that they at least made an attempt at a story (as meager as it is. It is a rhythm game, so I cut some slack)
Eh, pretty fair. They have some cool characters, who seem to come from different music genres, and each character has their own fretboards (where the notes come down on) and star-power moves (more on star-power later). The venues are all pretty cool, and the crowd moves and functions well; however, there are many repeated character models.
Winner! They did a simply AWESOME job here. Although all the songs are covers, they're done quite well. They also chose music from different genres, but there are a lot of tunes that would be considered "Classic Rock". Some of my favorites are "Texas Flood", "I Wanna Be Sedated", and "No One Knows" (Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Ramones, and Queens of the Stone Age, respectively). Being a ska fan, I would've appreciated some ska songs, but beggars can't be choosers. Aside from the track list, the crowd noises are good, and when you make mistakes, it sounds like you really messed up. Cool. However, many will complain at the lack of 'metal' songs. But they're just not paying close enough attention, or quit before they get to the good stuff (Pantera, anyone?) Just stick it out 'til the end, there's some great stuff here. There are also a bunch of unlockable songs, but many of them are pretty poppy. I do suggest "Cheat on the Church", that song rocks hard.
Here's the meat of the game. Basically, it's a super-toned-down version of real guitar. To hit notes, you press one of five colored buttons with your off-hand while strumming on the... Strum Bar. It takes a little while to get used to the co-ordination of it, but it's really fun once you've got the hang of it. There's also a neat little motion sensor in the guitar that lets you activate "Star-Power" with a tilt. "What's 'Star-Power'?" you ask? Placed sparingly throughout the songs are series of notes shaped like stars. If you hit all of these notes, a meter goes up, and at halfway, you activate the star-power and your score multiplier doubles. There's also a cool little whammy-bar on the guitar, which you can use on long notes to boost your score. Like any rhythm game, you have a health meter type meter. If it empties, you fail the song, plain n' simple. With four difficulty levels and somewhere around 40 songs (I think), this game will last you years.
9.5/10 (I don't give out 10's, ever)
So, whether you're a guitar player for real or not, you'll enjoy this game! All you need is a open mind! And fingers/hands/arms... You know, the works (I'm sorry if any limbless people are offended by this, I'm sure there's some way for you guys to play too). So go! Buy it! Find a friend with it! Play it at some store! ROCK ON!
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Georgia establishes 'Soviet Occupation Day'
The Georgian Parliament has made the foundation anniversary of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic, which was declared on the 25th of February 1921, a national occasion in memory of what it calls 'the Soviet occupation of Georgia'.
The country already marks the anniversary of its 2008 attack on South Ossetia on August 8th as 'Russian Aggression Day', and the anniversary of the 1939 Soviet-German non-aggression pact on August 23rd as 'Memory Day for the Victims of Nazism and Stalinism'.
Russia sees all this as part of a coordinated campaign to rewrite history and sow discord between the Russian and the Georgian peoples. Speaking in Moscow Wednesday, first deputy head of the Lower House's external relations committee Leonid Slutski also saw a design to stract public attention from domestic difficulties in Georgia. He believed the Georgian opposition would not become weaker as a result.

The Value of Forever Wild: An Economic Analysis of Land Use in the Adirondacks
The mix of public and private land ownership within the Adirondack Park often leads to conflict between development and conservation interests. We explore the effects of the Adirondack Park Agency's classifications on property values through hedonic analysis while simultaneously controlling for environmental and recreational amenities. Results show that lands in the park classified for moderate-intensity use sell at a premium of up to 7 percent while lands in more restrictive classes are discounted. There is also evidence that decreasing the impact of humans by one unit increases property values by approximately 2 percent.

Lots of people posting on DW describe samsara as a place or places/realms. My understanding (limited) is that samsara is actually the mental processes (lead by the 3 fires) that keep perpetuating worlds / and places. If samsara was a place, an arahant would literally have to be able to exit it to experience Nibbana. This understanding of samsara as a place seems more in line with the Jains and brahmanism during the Buddha's time.
Samsara literally means "wandering-on." Many people think of it as the Buddhist name for the place where we currently live — the place we leave when we go to nibbana. But in the early Buddhist texts, it's the answer, not to the question, "Where are we?" but to the question, "What are we doing?" Instead of a place, it's a process: the tendency to keep creating worlds and then moving into them. As one world falls apart, you create another one and go there. At the same time, you bump into other people who are creating their own worlds, too.
The next is dhamma - ending age. Does anyone have scriptural sources for this?
SN 20.7 Ani Sutta: The Peg
Staying at Savatthi. "Monks, there once was a time when the Dasarahas had a large drum called 'Summoner.' Whenever Summoner was split, the Dasarahas inserted another peg in it, until the time came when Summoner's original wooden body had disappeared and only a conglomeration of pegs remained.
"In the same way, in the course of the future there will be monks who won't listen when discourses that are words of the Tathagata — deep, deep in their meaning, transcendent, connected with emptiness — are being recited. They won't lend ear, won't set their hearts on knowing them, won't regard these teachings as worth grasping or mastering. But they will listen when discourses that are literary works — the works of poets, elegant in sound, elegant in rhetoric, the work of outsiders, words of disciples — are recited. They will lend ear and set their hearts on knowing them. They will regard these teachings as worth grasping & mastering.
"In this way the disappearance of the discourses that are words of the Tathagata — deep, deep in their meaning, transcendent, connected with emptiness — will come about.
"Thus you should train yourselves: 'We will listen when discourses that are words of the Tathagata — deep, deep in their meaning, transcendent, connected with emptiness — are being recited. We will lend ear, will set our hearts on knowing them, will regard these teachings as worth grasping & mastering.' That's how you should train yourselves."
dhammafriend wrote:This argument is often used to dissuade others to take purposeful action in there personal lives or social/ political action. Eg: "what do you expect, you can't change the world, it's samsara, you need to meditate more." This seems absurd to me because the argument, assumes that 'action' (mental/verbal/physical) is optional. When we really can't choose whether to act or not but are compelled to anyway through dependant origination. So rather choose meritorious action than the impossible 'non- action.'
AN 8.53: Gotami Sutta wrote:Gotami, the qualities of which you may know, 'These qualities lead to passion, not to dispassion; to being fettered, not to being unfettered; to accumulating, not to shedding; to self-aggrandizement, not to modesty; to discontent, not to contentment; to entanglement, not to seclusion; to laziness, not to aroused persistence; to being burdensome, not to being unburdensome': You may categorically hold, 'This is not the Dhamma, this is not the Vinaya, this is not the Teacher's instruction.'
Thanissaro Bhikkhu wrote:Another story deals with Ajaan Chah surveying the damage in his monastery after a storm, discovering that one of the huts had half its roof blown off by the wind. He asked the monk living in the hut, "Why aren't you fixing the roof?" The monk replied, "I'm practicing equanimity, sleeping in the half of the hut that's still sheltered." Ajaan Chah said, "That's the equanimity of a water buffalo. Fix the roof."
So when you're looking at the practice, you have to look at it from many sides. In Ajaan Chah's case, he was pointing out the need to balance contentment with the duty of persistently caring for the fruits of other people's generosity.
dhammafriend wrote:Lots of people posting on DW describe samsara as a place or places/realms.
Thus, if the social or political involvement leads you to become more passionate, fettered, discontented with the actions of others, burdensome to others in your quest, then it is not in line with the Dhamma...
The best source for the Dhamma-ending Age is the Anagatavamsa (post-canonical text):
dhammafriend wrote:My issue here is this, if the Lord Buddha attained what he said he did on that night, he would have known that it's all going to crap anyway so why bother? He established something that he knew would fall apart. Why would he do this?
Why would he go to such great lengths to preserve his teaching, to his own personal cost? He didn't owe anyone anything. My theory is that his compassion for the dukkha of others lead him to actually get out there and start gathering disciples to establish his community.

John Cena Injury: WWE Superstar Elbow Requires Surgery After SummerSlam; Daniel Bryan Favorite To Win WWE Championship?
on Aug 13, 2013 01:22 PM EDT
Reports have indicated that WWE Champion John Cena's left elbow injury is "worse than is being let on."
F4W online reported Monday that WWE officials have decided to keep Cena out of the ring until his SummerSlam match with Daniel Bryan for the WWE title due to the severity of his injury. Additionally, Cena may require surgery on his injured arm following Sunday's SummerSlam pay-per-view because of how bad the ailment is.
Cena tweeted the following about his injury last week:
To all those wondering how a baseball got stuck in my left elbow. It's...complicated. Ill be fine for #summerslam @WWEUniverse @WWE
— John Cena (@JohnCena) August 6, 2013
Cena didn't wrestle on Monday Night RAW last night, but rather was involved in the interview segment "MizTV" with Bryan, where the two traded verbal jabs.
If Cena is going to have surgery after SummerSlam and is expected to miss time, speculation has now grown over who will walk out of SummerSlam with the WWE championship. Bryan could very well go over Cena at the event, but Randy Orton is still lurking with his Money in the Bank briefcase and could conceivably leave the Staples Center with the gold.
Wrestle Zone reported that Cena was pulled out of a house show in Oakland, Calif. at the last minute despite being advertised to appear at the event. It would seem that WWE officials were uncomfortable with letting Cena wrestle a non-televised event close to SummerSlam with a risk of further injury.
Cena, despite being a controversial figure, is WWE's No. 1 talent and the face of the company, so missing significant time could hurt the brand even though Superstars like Bryan, Orton and even CM Punk are extremely over with the crowd.
Cena, an 11-time WWE Champion, facing Bryan with Triple H as the guest referee is one of the main events of Sunday's SummerSlam, and it'll be interesting to see whether or not the injury hinders the match at all. The two other heavily promoted matches on the card are Punk vs. Brock Lesnar in a match dubbed as "The Best vs. The Beast" and Christian challenging Alberto Del Rio for his World heavyweight championship.
The full card is as follows:
- John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan (WWE championship, Triple H as guest ref.)
- CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar
- Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian (World heavyweight championship)
- Natalya vs. Brie Bella
- Bray Wyatt vs. Kane (Ring of Fire)
- Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow
-Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn vs. Big E. Langston & AJ Lee (Mixed tag)
-Dean Ambrose vs. Rob Van Dam (United States title, SummerSlam kick-off preshow)
