10:43 am May. 30, 20125
Each day, the New York tabloids vie to sell readers at the newsstands on outrageous headlines, dramatic photography, and, occasionally, great reporting. Who is today's winner?
Daily News: What a "KNOCK OUT!"
Dawnelle Yaeger, the "Jeweler to stars," has been "busted for beating guy over parking spot." There's a picture of her on the front page with her arms raised, seemingly dancing, in a low-cut halter dress, her blond hair pulled tight into a ponytail. So far so good
But from here, the News story doesn't match up with the rest of the (voluminous) coverage of the incident, which actually took place a week ago. The front-page story gets exactly one column inside the paper, on page 6, set in a giant picture of Yaeger, with pictures of some of her jewelry, a snapshot of the Christopher Street parking location where she got into the fight, and Meng Dong, the "Chinese immigrant" who police say she punched before hitting him vigorously about the head with her umbrella in a parking-space dispute.
I put "Chinese immigrant" in scare quotes because, despite the fact that he grants an interview, he is also called a "delivery man" later in the piece. In the Post, Meng Dong describes himself as a masseuse, manicurist and pedicurist at a men's spa in the West Village.
But among my friends the real burning questions have been about Sophia Anderson, the 21-year-old who drove a Mercedes Benz straight through the Huntington, L.I. house of an octogenarian woman. Mostly because the Post called her a "hipster" yesterday—why? The only pictures of her showed a girl with long brown hair in a polo shirt with bruises on her face. And most importantly, what was a hipster doing in Huntington?
The answer to question 2: Her boyfriend's parents have a big house there, and he had nabbed the Benz from their driveway for the joyride. This is the boy who police said was "polite," and today, the News reports he tried to shake the hand of the woman whose house his mom's car had just literally torn through.
And the first: That's harder. They are young, these two; she works at a big-box sushi joint in Union Square and lives in a Bushwick loft where she "parties" a lot. But increasingly Williamsburg and Bushwick and Greenpoint are becoming home to kids you would never classify as hipsters; they're just young people. So, I'm not buying the hipster thing.
Anyway it doesn't matter much since the News didn't get involved in any of that silly stuff. Today, again, they go straight for a picture of lots of bottles of beer and a really long headline: "How many beers does it take to plow a car through a house?" I don't know! She had a high blood-alcohol level according to the initial police report though she refused the more accurate Breathalyzer. (Smart move!)
New York Post: Julie Warning is hardly Mary Kay Letourneau. For one thing, she is only 26, and the student she is alleged to have been conducting a relationship with is 18. But just because it isn't any kind of statutory rape doesn't mean the Department of Education approves of teachers conducting affairs with students.
It should be said that both Warning and the student deny that the woman in the video, shot by another student, is her at all. This seems unlikely to be true, since the student was standing there watching them while shooting the video. On its face, the cover of the Post is a blurry photo of two people not that different in age "canoodling" on a park bench.
"TEACHER'S PET" reads the knockout-white text below; "Caught in act with student." It's billed as a "PHOTO EXCLUSIVE" in a red snipe across the upper left. Presumably that means that while the video is around, the shooter of the video agreed to give the Post the only print reproduction rights. But I'll allow anyone from the Post to clear me up on this point if I'm wrong. And, that's it!
Observations: It's pretty sad that the News fronts two stories on which the Post decisively beat them on the inside pages. And they both feel old a bit by this morning anyway; the Jeweler-beatdown story because it was viral on the web yesterday, and the Sophia Anderson story because the News didn't feed us anything we wanted. This would be a total steal if the couple the Post has on its front were a little more scandalous than they are. As it is they are breaking guidelines, and all you want to do is issue them a demerit. Still, it suggests steamy, "hot-for-teacher" action inside, which people will buy. Their remorse doesn't really cost the Post a dime.
Winner: New York Post.
You seem to take the teacher / student thing a little too lightly. It seems that even basic ethics is missing in our news rooms, business communities, government, and schools. It appears we are heading towards a nation of garbage because we all have the discipline of young children.
If it's just photo v photo, I'd kind of give it to the News, if only because prominent cleavage always gets my attention (and obvs also the editors at the News, since they are standing that photo on the thinnest of stories). The blurry canoodling on the front of the Post doesn't seem to live up to the scandalous feel of the story - which for some will represent a scary abuse of power - despite the fact that both parties are legally consenting adults macking in public.
First of all, the school where Warning taught is located at the MLK complex near Lincoln Center. Central Park is legitimately a few blocks away, when I used to attend the cool hangout spots was 100% of the time near the school. The fact that a student magically followed Arty-her classmate all the way downtown to exploit his "meet up" with their alleged teacher seems very fishy on the part of the classmate. It seems more like an angry ex girlfriend looking for payback and/or angry student trying to frame her teacher. Secondly, if you as a student decided to follow a "lead" that your classmate is hooking up with the teacher, wouldn't you likely follow them with your friends? I don't understand how this LONE student managed to get this exclusive photo by herself, and there wasn't any corroboration by her friend/fellow students who noticed anything?
Either way the female in the picture doesn't remotely look like Warning, and one picture that's highly pixelated doesn't serve as evidence in defaming a teacher and her career. I can only anticipate that the DOE will make life hell for Warning with their ridiculous process, yet they will do nothing to a failing student who ruined a teacher's life because her teacher wanted her to learn something and not be some hs drop out. I hope Warning gets a good lawyer to sue for every last penny from this student's family and the DOE.
For those defending Julie Warning,.....be prepared to defend the next gross 50+ year old teacher making out with his 18 year-old students........goes both ways.
Teachers shouldn't screw their students. Period, end of discussion. Enjoy the end of your career and reputation Julie Warning. Enjoy it hard. You earned every bit of it.

Student lets - niche investment opportunity or landlord's nightmare?
Post: #21
RE: Student lets - niche investment opportunity or landlord's nightmare?
I have had bad experiences with undergraduates in HMOs, such as never cleaning, having parties and trashing the house, all blaming each other if there is damage, not paying rent in the last month, expecting to pay no rent over the summer, etc etc, so even though I know all students are not the same, I've given upon undergraduates: let them trash halls of residence instead!
Postgraduates are much better - more mature, stick around for several years, want a place they can call home. They are really little different from working graduates, and the two groups mix perfectly well, except for the never-ending bugbear that students for some reason don't have to pay council tax, which means higher bills for the others or you have to cover their council tax yourself. As with most HMOs, it helps to find a tenant with the right temperament who is prepared to act as "house mother/father", paying the bills, taking responsibility for house management, meetings and so on. A humanities postgrad who works from home a lot is ideal for this, and worth rewarding with a reduced rent in exchange for helping to look after the house. I don't understand why there is this special category of "student lets" as far as mortgage lenders are concerned: in my experience students are no different from their peers in terms of risk profile, and I've never seen any differences in regulation from councils - a "student house" is the same as an HMO in their eyes. |

RE: Student lets - niche investment opportunity or landlord's nightmare?
In my experience, which is renting to undergraduates you have two sides of the coin.
The pro's are that you get the rent paid up front each term, set out to coincide with their student loan checks. If you're nice enough as a landlord they'll stick around for 2-3 years and they yields can be great when you have 4 rooms in a standard 3 bed house. The Con's are that you'll generally have to spend more in upkeep and maintenance, parties will happen, things will get broken and you'll get a lot more calls about minor things because a lot of them, patrically first years have no life exsprience and will phone you up if a light bulb goes out .But at the end of the day you take deposits for a reason so most major things can be covered. In short, they tend to me more hassle day to day but they pay well. |
Post: #23
RE: Student lets - niche investment opportunity or landlord's nightmare?
Our latest mortgage market intelligence for Q3 2012 reveals some interesting information about student lets:
"Average rents have stayed strong so far during 2012 as tenant demand remains high, and the average monthly income was again over £1000 a month during quarter three. However, there is always a wide variation in rental income depending on property and tenant type. According to the Index, student tenants provide the highest rental yields for tenant type (often from HMO properties) with an average yield of 8.23%. Follow |

Why People Think Free Will or Lack Thereof Matters
I had fun sharpening swords with Marc Cortez over at Scientia et Sapientia last week over the Christian view of personal freedom. We might also call this the "Calvinism – Arminianism" debate to make it more easily recognizable, but it's really a much broader set of issues. Marc's intention in his series of posts is to help establish a common ground so that we can all discuss theses matters more charitably and, perhaps, efficiently. Criticizing people for things they don't believe doesn't help discussion too much.
So I thought I would set up some of my own clarifications because I'm not sure I really agree with all the comonalities that Marc outlined, or that they are the best approach to the question. I know, isn't this twisted? We can't even agree on what we have in common! Many people say, "Who cares about such an abstract and contentious issue anyway?" Sometimes I also think such things. Though I would never verbalize it in certain company. On the other hand, there are two things that keep me coming back to this set of questions.
First, I'm a sucker for a good philosophical/theological discussions, and this is the mother of all theological/philosophical discussions. It even gets into science, psychology and probably other areas too. On issues like this, if people accuse me of being too abstract or too theoretical or of wasting my time on impractical matters, I just go, "Yea, I know, it's only rock and roll but I like it." Point being, some of us like this sort of thing and that's reason enough to get into it. Others like watching football or reading novels. That's fine too.
Second, the reason this issue is so fascinating and contentious is that it does have practical implications; or maybe it's better to say quasi-practical implications; or meta-practical implications. In many cases, people who disagree with each other about free will do the same things: they pray, they live a Christian ethic, they evangelize, they study scripture, etc. BUT the crucial issue is that they think differently about the things they do based on their view of free will. And this matters a lot!
Let's take the example of prayer. The free willer thinks that when he is praying, he is asking God to do things which might not have happened if he had not decided to pray. But the other perspective sees it differently: for them prayer is our participation in what God has already determined will occur. There is no question in this second, "determinist" view that what God has purposed will happen. But in the first view, the matter has not necessarily been decided ahead or time. It can significantly depend on independent human input.
To me these "meta-practical" issues seem extremely important. Each person has his or her motivation for doing the things they do. I suggest that this is actually one of the most important reasons for our ongoing debates about these issues.
I'f I'm inspired and get some reader input, I might do some more on this issue. What do you all think? Or it too impractical?

Hey everyone, We at digi have a feature that will be loved. Since the feature isnt out yet, we cant really discuss it.
I wanted to know if i can hold rights on a feature ? Like an example would be, my feature does this, but if say linkedin took the feature and made it in there own way but its the EXACT same concept of the feature, and i put a ™ on the feature and the concept and hold all rights to that concept in my TOS, would i be able to sue or collect money from linkedin or something ?
I understand the nice thing to do is, if i do see the feature somewhere else, is to politely ask to remove it or we can discuss payment terms or something before i would sue.
So say i see the same concept of the feature and KNOW that it was created AFTER mine, will i be able to be the only one w/ the feature ?
And believe me, this feature is NO WHERE online, i've done months and months of researching this feature / names / ® / © an everything. So i know ill be the 1st one w/ this feature. Of course i need to get it out before someone else does though :p
And remember, I'm just saying, if i see the same concept of the feature on another site but w/ there branding all over it and maybe a slight different tool on it, would i be able to do something about it ??
Also, what would i need to prevent this from happening ?

> Study Confirms CT Scans Reduce Lung Cancer Deaths
Study Confirms CT Scans Reduce Lung Cancer Deaths
The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) is the first scientific study that provides clear evidence that CT screening significantly reduces the death rate due to lung cancer. NLST data shows 20 percent fewer lung cancer deaths among trial participants who had the CT scan compared with the chest x-ray. Until now, no screening test for lung cancer has proven effective in detecting tumors at an early, more treatable stage.
Northwestern University is the only NLST site in Chicago. During the study period, more than 400 individuals enrolled in the trial locally. "We are extremely grateful to the participants in both the chest X-ray and the CT scan arms who volunteered for this lengthy and challenging trial," said Eric M. Hart, MD, Associate Professor of Radiology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, NLST Site Principal Investigator, and radiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "Their continued involvement is the basis for this ray of hope for other heavy smokers."
The trial was conducted at 33 sites throughout the country and included more than 53,000 current or former "heavy smokers" between the ages of 55 and 74. Each participant was either a former heavy smoker within the last 15 years or a current smoker with at least a 30 pack year history of smoking (calculated by the number of packs per day times the number of years smoking). Between 2002 and 2004, the participants were randomly assigned to receive either a chest x-ray or a CT scan annually for three years. Then, they were monitored for the following five years.
Lung Cancer is one of the most common and lethal forms of cancer in the U.S. Lung cancer usually grows silently for years before symptoms arise that lead to diagnosis and treatment. By then, the cancer has typically reached an advanced stage where treatment is difficult and cure rates are low.
"We will continue to promote smoking cessation as the primary strategy for lung cancer prevention," Malcolm DeCamp, MD, Professor of Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Northwestern Memorial, and a member of the Lurie Cancer Center, states. "But now, we have an effective screening technique that we must promote throughout the entire community to detect lung cancer in its earliest stage."
The NLST is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) and the Lung Cancer Study Group. For more information about the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial visit the National Cancer Institute website: cancer.gov/nlst/updates.

The lights are on
What new ideas the game brings to the table and how well old ideas are presented.
How good a game looks, taking into account any flaws such as bad collision or pop-up.
Does the game's music and sound effects get you involved or do they make you resolve to always play with the volume down?
Basically, the controller to human interface. The less you think about the hunk of plastic in your hands, the better the playability.
Flat out, just how fun the game is to play. The most important factor in rating a game.
Traveller's Tales tried to break out of its LEGO formula with Indiana Jones 2, and the results weren't that great. The studio has returned to the classic structure for LEGO Harry Potter. For the most part, it works.
Wizard powers are quite similar to the Force, so you'll float pieces into place without stretching the fiction too far. The game leans on this mechanic frequently, so prepare yourself for plenty of exploration and "puzzle solving." The reason for those sassy quotation marks? Outside of a few challenging rooms, most puzzles consist of breaking everything, holding down a button, watching a structure build itself, and then using said structure to jump to a higher platform. I turned my brain on autopilot for most of the game.
Harry doesn't spend a lot of time battling minions in the books. It's more about discovering the wonder of Hogwarts and maybe taking on a school rival or evil wizard. To stay true to the material, combat is scaled back considerably from previous LEGO titles. The only real battles in the entirety of the Year 1 section are against the bathroom troll, Professor Quirrell, and some wasps in the forest. Combat picks up later on, but if your favorite part of LEGO games is cutting down an endless flow of stormtroopers with a lightsaber, this may not be the one for you.
Despite these setbacks, it's hard to not be charmed by LEGO Harry Potter. Traveller's Tales maintains its reputation for amusingly silly interpretations of characters and story points, and I found myself constantly looking forward to how the team would handle the next thing around the corner. The constant flow of unlocks in Gringotts Bank and shopping along Daigon Alley stirred up old feelings of addiction I had playing the Star Wars titles. While Harry Potter doesn't offer much innovation for the LEGO franchise, it at least puts it back on track.

No women, no race: UN pulls out of sexist Gaza marathon
A U.N. aid agency has canceled the marathon in Gaza following a ban on women runners imposed by the territory's militant Islamic Hamas rulers.
UNWRA, which assists Palestinian refugees and also sponsors and organizes the event, announced on Tuesday that plans for the April race have been scrapped.
A statement from agency says that "this disappointing decision follows discussions with the authorities in Gaza who have insisted that no women should participate" in the marathon.
Hamas has ruled Gaza since 2007 when it ousted its rival Fatah movement in street battles in the coastal strip.
The group is cracking down on behavior it deems contrary to Islam and has already banned women from riding on the backs of motorbikes, smoking water pipes, and men from working in hair salons.

This blog entry was contributed by: Charlie Rees of the Flat Iron Artists' Association, 1579 N. Milwaukee Ave.
As I am writing this blog, it is raining, providing some relief from the horrid heat that has plagued Chicago.
But if you think it has been hot and humid this summer, step into the Flat Iron Arts Building to discover the true meaning of hot and humid, the "Flat Iron Heat Index".
My studio is a perfect example. In this heat, with an air conditioner, ceiling and floor fans running 24/7, the "Flat Iron Heat Index" always reaches the insufferable stage. The studio is on the third floor, has high ceilings to trap the heat and poor ventilation and is blessed with a skylight (visitors feel that it posses some romantic appeal), but I can assure you the damn thing functions as a broiler, making the studio into a sauna. Pieces of paper cling to your arms and a wet bandana, wrapped around your neck, is required.
[The noonday broiler.]
Yes, despite the "Flat Iron heat Index", the artists in the Flat Iron are still working. This requires me to alter the phrase " Mad dogs and Englishmen in the Noon Day Sun" to "Artists, Mad Dogs and Englishmen in the Noon Day Sun". My dog, Jack, the Boxer, wants you to know that he is not a Mad Dog, nor Artist, nor Englishmen and follows a sane policy of being prostrate, not moving in the heat.

- Divide.
- Simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.
- So we have 4 divided by 2/3, and we've seen when you divide
- by the fraction, it's the same thing as multiplying by its
- reciprocal.
- So this is going to be the same thing as 4 times the
- reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2, just swapping the bottom
- and the top number, the denominator and the numerator.
- Now, 4, we've seen this before, where we're saying,
- OK, well, we know how to multiply fractions.
- You multiply the numerators times each other and the
- denominators times each other, but 4
- doesn't look like a fraction.
- Well, you always have to remember: a whole number can
- be written as that same whole number over one.
- 4 is the same thing as 4/1.
- And now this becomes kind of a plain vanilla multiplying
- fractions problem.
- And so we can just multiply it out.
- We could just say this is 4 times 3, which would be 12
- over 1 times 2, which would be 2.
- Or we could divide right now.
- Well, let's do it both ways, actually.
- So we could say this is 4 times 3 in the numerator,
- which is 12, over 1 times 2 in the denominator, which is 2.
- Now, what is 12 divided by 2?
- 12/2 is the same thing as 12 divided by 2.
- Well, this is equal to 6.
- Or another way we could think about it is divide the
- numerator by 2.
- Well, that would give you 6.
- And divide the denominator by 2.
- That'll give you 1.
- 6/1, which is the same thing as 6.
- Now, the other thing we could've done at this stage
- right here is say, well, look, we have things in the
- numerator divisible by 2, we have things in the denominator
- divisible by 2, so let's divide both by 2.
- So 4 divided by 2 is 2.
- 2 divided by 2 is 1.
- So it becomes 2 times 3, which is 6, over 1 times 1 over 1,
- or this is equal to 6.
- Now, this could be a fun one to visualize so let's think
- about what this is.
- 4 divided by 2/3.
- Let's draw four boxes here.
- Let me do this.
- So let's say I have one, two-- let me separate
- them a little bit.
- One, two, three, and four.
- And you can view 4 divided by 2/3 as let's divide these four
- boxes into groups of 2/3 of a box and figure out how many
- groups do we have.
- So where are our groups?
- So let's see the first group is going to have 2/3 of a box
- in it, so the first group is going to look like this.
- It's going to have 2/3 of a box.
- Now, the next group is going to have 2/3 of a box, so it'll
- have 1/3 from here and then it'll have 1/3
- from the next box.
- The next group is going to have 2/3 of the box.
- There's 2/3 left right over here.
- Then the group after that will have another 2/3 of a box.
- That is that right over there.
- Then the next will have 1/3 from here and 1/3 from here,
- so it'll have 1/3 from here and 1/3 from here.
- That'll be 2/3.
- And then the last group will have 2/3, the leftover on this
- box right here.
- Now, how many groups of 2/3 do we have?
- We have one, two, three, four, five, six, so we have six.
- Four can be divided into six groups of 2/3.
- So it's just like regular division, sometimes a little
- harder to visualize because we're dealing with fractions.

Chafee Joins NARAL Board
Chafee, now an independent, said abortion rights provide a stark difference between Barack Obama and John McCain, blasting the Arizona Republican for not supporting them at a federal level. Chafee endorsed Obama in February.
"I have always said that being pro-choice is a mainstream conservative value," Chafee said. "It is unfortunate that Sen. McCain does not share the view of many mainstream Republicans that privacy and freedom from government interference in personal decisions is a core value."
"This is one of the clearest differences between Sen. Obama and Sen. John McCain--and it is a difference that matters to voters, including pro-choice Independent and Republican women," Chafee said.
McCain yesterday floated the possibility of tapping a pro-abortion-rights running mate in an interview with The Weekly Standard. McCain has said he would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned, giving states authority over abortion rights, and for the U.S. to work toward ending abortion as a practice.

HttpAddRequestHeaders function
Adds one or more HTTP request headers to the HTTP request handle.
BOOL HttpAddRequestHeaders( _In_ HINTERNET hRequest, _In_ LPCTSTR lpszHeaders, _In_ DWORD dwHeadersLength, _In_ DWORD dwModifiers );
- hRequest [in]
Handle returned by a call to the HttpOpenRequest function.
- lpszHeaders [in]
Pointer to a string variable containing the headers to append to the request. Each header must be terminated by a CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pair.
- dwHeadersLength [in]
Size of lpszHeaders, in TCHARs. If this parameter is -1L, the function assumes that lpszHeaders is zero-terminated (ASCIIZ), and the length is computed.
- dwModifiers [in]
Controls the semantics of this function. This parameter can be a combination of the following values.
Return value
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
HttpAddRequestHeaders appends additional, free-format headers to the HTTP request handle and is intended for use by sophisticated clients that need detailed control over the exact request sent to the HTTP server.
Note that for basic HttpAddRequestHeaders, the application can pass in multiple headers in a single buffer. If the application is trying to remove or replace a header, only one header can be supplied in lpszHeaders.
Like all other aspects of the WinINet API, this function cannot be safely called from within DllMain or the constructors and destructors of global objects.
Note WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP).
Minimum supported client | Windows 2000 Professional [desktop apps only] |
Minimum supported server | Windows 2000 Server [desktop apps only] |
Header |
Library |
Unicode and ANSI names | HttpAddRequestHeadersW (Unicode) and HttpAddRequestHeadersA (ANSI) |

Three charged with attempting to break into Farmington store
Ryan D. Towle, 17 of 94 Hubbard Road, Lebanon, Maine, Tammy Ewing, 18, of 14 Pineland Park, Milton, and Dustin A. Rice, 20, of 54 Kennebeck Drive, were all charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and attempted burglary.
Additionally, Towle was charged with criminal mischief for allegedly damaging the store during the incident, which occurred at 438 Route 11 on Sunday before 10 p.m.
Police responded to the scene after the store's alarm sounded. Officers discovered a broken window and heard movement in the nearby woods.
Officer Sean Leach stopped a vehicle leaving the area and detained the three occupants, two of whom matched people seen on the store's video surveillance system. Members of Rochester's K-9 team, including Officer Keith Mackenzie, responded and eventually followed a trail that led to the vehicle, according to police.
All suspects were released on bail and are scheduled to be arraigned April 16 in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester.
Police continue work with counterparts in Alton and Rochester to investigate a second – and unrelated - attempted burglary that occurred at the store around 2 a.m. Monday. Police once again responded to an alarm activation when someone attempted to break into the store via a window.
Officers spotted a truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed. Investigators determined the truck was stolen from Alton and later set ablaze in Rochester.
Anyone with information regarding the two incidents is encouraged to contact Sgt. Scott Ferguson at the Farmington Police Department at (603) 755-2731 x110.

November-December 2000
Valerie Neal is FPMT's South-Asian regional coordinator and lives in Dharamsala, India. Formerly the spiritual program coordinator at nearby Tushita Meditation Centre, she lives with her husband Jimi Neal and occasionally helps with discussion groups at Tushita.
Last year the conditions of my world conspired to put me into retreat. My husband was away for three months, I was in a nice house with someone pleasant to cook and clean and shop for me, and it was monsoon, which means every time you step out of the house you get very wet, not to mention the snakes and over-abundant vegetation growing from every surface. Much better to be inside and read through those lam-rim topics a few more times. It never ceases to surprise me how topics that on the surface seem quite straightforward continue to reveal deeper, extraordinary meanings. Their directness and simplicity become the most refreshing clear nectar.
One day the topic was on eight worldly dharmas. I was trying to find a part of my life that was not mixed up with these, and in a moment of extreme frustration at not being able to locate such a place, I wrote, "I feel just like Cinderella with her horrible stepmother." This made me laugh because it was so true. Nag, nag, nag. No peace from the wish for praise, the avoidance of pain, the desire for good reputation, the dislike of any criticism and all the rest.
This image of living in the same sack of skin with the worst of all stepmothers became uncomfortably strong. I decided to look up the story of Cinderella for more understanding of how to deal with this unwanted mother. Many times the images of yaks, high mountain peaks and butter tea just don't work for me, and so I try to work creatively with the images from my own culture that arise in my mind to reflect on the truths of the Buddhadharma. The image of a nagging stepmother was working very well to express my relationship with the eight worldly dharmas.
A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away there lived a girl named Cinderella. Her mother had died and her father had remarried a woman with two daughters of her own. The father then went away and Cinderella was left with her stepmother. Cinderella became a servant, is given very little food and is ordered about to do all the work for the others.
She has the name Cinderella because she is always covered with the ashes and cinders from cleaning the chimney. One gets the immediate impression that her primary work is with fire. Fire is associated with transformation, purification by fire, the tummo fire. She is cleaning the fireplace daily. If the chimney pipe is blocked with soot and ash, the fire won't flare up, because the air won't draw up into the chimney. That about describes the state of my central channel.
She is doing lots of other work as well, which reminded me that I was late to start my prostrations. The daily toil of preliminary practices was a bit like her chores and – like her – the "rewards" were serving the needs of the eight worldly dharmas. I did so many prostrations, made so many tsa-tsas, I can be proud of myself for being in retreat for so many months, blah, blah, blah. One tries for pure motivation but deep down it is clearly all mixed.
So I tried to get an idea of what she did in her situation. It seemed she just kept cleaning; she didn't try to argue with her masters, nor did she adopt their attitudes. She just kept working, cleaning and sweeping. She didn't seem to have any choice except to live with these horrible people.
There is a lot of wisdom in that. These eight worldly dharmas are not going to suddenly disappear overnight just because I finally see them as not being very pure. Cinderella doesn't identify herself with them, she doesn't tell them off or condemn them; neither does she run away, or live in a fantasyland. She quietly bears their company and keeps her mind on her chores without getting caught up in an emotional drama about her situation. And she does this for a long time.
I see Cinderella as that aspiring part of ourselves that has the potential to achieve enlightenment. For most of us, that part of ourselves is still covered over with soot and ash, and the heat of the fires we burn serves to keep the worldly dharmas more comfortable; meanwhile Cinderella sits in a cold room at night, waiting for her day to dawn. We give her all our sympathy, but the conditions haven't ripened yet to get her into the main living room.
Then the story tells us that the prince of the land will hold a ball and the prince will choose his bride. The worldly dharmas are all in a flap, they want desperately to be chosen: money, praise, fame, reputation, yes, yes, yes! Cinderella is told she will not be allowed to attend and they lock her in the cellar. Wow, now she is underground, as if it wasn't bad enough before! Sometimes the eight worldly dharmas blaze at full voltage, especially when we're around the guru, when the best and worst come out of us. Somehow the guru sees through the drama, loves us and comes to our aid when we really need it.
In the story Cinderella is weeping in the cellar because she would like to attend the ball. Sometimes tears are the most cleansing water. Then something wonderful happens. Her fairy godmother/guru deity comes waving her magic wand, like a feminine version of Manjushri's wisdom sword, saying, "Daughter, things do not exist as they appear! This pumpkin is now your carriage, these mice your horses, these rags your gown and jewels. But you must be back by midnight. Go and meet your prince, but be back by midnight!"
Sound familiar? Things don't exist as they appear, but keep your pledges or all is lost! In the tantric ball one meets one's prince (or princess), one is introduced and falls in love. But now one must go back to the kitchen and do all the work in absolute secrecy. On the outside everything looks just the same, but inside she has met her prince. Who knows how long this will take, but at least there is now some meaningful context to the work for Cinderella.
The divine prince then goes searching for Cinderella, holding in his hand a glass slipper that she left behind when she ran from his arms at the stroke of twelve. I don't yet fully understand the meaning of the glass slipper, but perhaps because our feet are where we meet the ground – does she walk the earth in clear light wisdom? The glass slipper is the only way the divine prince can find her.
The images move me with a promise of future understanding. In time he finds Cinderella, though not without the usual trials and obstacles. And when he does, stepmother is speechless. The worldly dharmas are silenced. The marriage is made.
They lived happily ever after in the happiness that is everlasting. It seems that the West has been talking about enlightenment since "a long, long time ago." The Cinderella in us knows this is true, and it's the stepmother that tries to deny it. The guru-deity wisdom mind knows things don't exist as they appear, and that happily ever after is our birthright.

- Western Red Cedar Top
- Abalone Sound-hole Rosette
- Tropical American Mahogany Neck

The elegant Taylor GC5E Electro Acoustic Guitar is a superb high quality guitar made with fingerstyle guitarists in mind. Perfect for practically any application thanks to the warm tone and on-board preamp, this guitar is a great choice for any player out there who wants the much talked about sound you can only get from these high quality tonewoods.
The Grand Concert body shape is extremely well suited to fingerpicking and responds to the lightest of touch allowing for extremely dynamic playing. While saying this, the tone of the Taylor GC5E is still well balanced and comes across exceedingly clear and mellow.
The pairing of Western Red Cedar and Tropical American Mahogany sounds warm and precise and is, much like the body shape, favoured by fingerstyle guitarists. This makes the Taylor GC5E perfect for the performing fingerstyle guitarist.
The Taylor GC5E Electro Acoustic Guitar is also pre-fitted with Taylor's own Expression System so you can plug in just about anywhere and get a great, clean amplified tone. This magnet-based system was designed to sound as close to a microphone as possible while having the versatility provided by a magnetic pickup. Only three simple controls– volume, bass and treble – are onboard this guitar meaning you can spend as much time playing as possible.
A robust Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case is also included within the price of the Taylor GC5E so you can take this guitar with you without worrying about any damage occurring while travelling.

>>> as we have been reporting, the crisis between israel and hamas is escalating today. israel 's iron dome defense system hours ago shot down a tel-aviv missile. scores of bombs hit the center where hamas government buildings were targeted. and hundreds of thousands of troops are amassing at the border and the government authorized the call-up as many as 75,000 reservists. joining me is the ambassador. thank you for joining me.
>> good afternoon.
>> what's this trigger for the ground operation?
>> we have millions under rocket fire, over half the country. no country in the world, no government would tolerate such a situation where over half its situation is sitting in bomb shelters all night or never going more than 15 seconds run from the nearest bomb shelter because that's all you have. that's the time you have when the alarm gets off before the rocket smashes into your neighborhood. you have the equivalent of what would be 170 million americans under bomb shelters . if hamas continues to escalate, we will take the necessary and legitimate measures to defend our citizens.
>> living under the threat of rocket attack is a psychological trauma. what would say to those who say rockets are ineffective and rarely do damage and the response from israelis is dis disproportionate to the threat they're under.
>> i would say that to the three israel people killed by one of those rockets, 150 wounded physically and psychologically by this. these rockets paralyze an entire country. there is no school. people cannot go out of their houses, out of their bomb shelters . again, that's an utterly in intolerable situation for any country. imagine if one rocket had fallen in the united states and since the year 2009 , our last operation, wave had something in the vicinity of 8,000 rockets fall on the state of israel . that's more than twice all of the german rockets that fell on london during world war ii . you saw how the british and americans reacted to that.
>> you mentioned the amount of rocket attacks seen in israel , 209 and this year about 700 despite the fact we've been down this road again israel has responded with military force in the past. does this show israel 's policy towards gaza has been a failure?
>> our policy, everything can do into gaza , there's no food shortage there, no medical shortage. what you do have there is hamas . certainly no shortage of terrorists there. rather than investing in infrastructure and education they invested in 12,000 rockets, with one purpose only, to kill israeli civilians. we have no option and any other krin the world to have an option but to defend our citizens by all necessary and legitimate means.
>> the people of gaza say they've been under constant siege from israeli forces from the air and sea. gaza , as you know, is one of the most densely populated places in the world. how does israel justify force in such a crowded environment?
>> actually, it's not the most crowded place in the world. tel-aviv is more densely populated than gaza is. having said that we are dealing with a densely populated area, that is true. we have conducted more than 1,000 air strikes against rocket base, rocket launching pits, arsenals, command headquarters and we have taken extraordinary, i would even say super human measures to avoid inflicting civilian casualties there. we made tens of thousands of phone calls, dropped leaflets, sent text messages to people, civilians in these areas, warning them to clear out. as a result, we've been able to reducing civilian casualties to a minimum. it's always difficult between civilians are hurt. three-quarters of people hurt in gaza have been armed terrorists.
>> thank you for your time this afternoon. we appreciate it.
>> thank you.

Henderson Far East Income: Rising yield attracts investors to Far East trust
Paltry returns from savings accounts has made equity income funds increasingly popular.
But it is not just trusts investing in some of Britain's most dividend-friendly firms that have caught the eye.
Those extracting income from international companies listed on markets as far afield as China and America are also attracting interest.
One such fund is investment trust Henderson Far East Income, which is among a handful aiming to obtain a mix of income and capital growth from Asian stock markets.
The trust is yielding 5.4 per cent and with income paid quarterly it is a hit with investors, especially those shielding their money from tax in an Isa.
Quarterly dividends have risen steadily from 3.2p per share in August 2009 to 3.9p. And last week the board met to decide whether to increase the payout again.
Given the progressive dividend policy and income reserves equivalent to two-thirds of annual payments, a rise is more likely than not.
The trust's popularity has led the shares to trade close to their asset value, which is unusual. Most investment trust shares trade at a discount to their underlying assets.
Manager Michael Kerley runs a concentrated portfolio, with only 48 holdings. Its biggest exposure is to China where it holds a number of big firms known for their strong balance sheets and ability to pay growing dividends, including Bank of China and China Mobile.
'I am looking for Chinese firms that are generating earnings domestically rather than internationally,' says Kerley. 'I also believe China is best placed among the world's economies to ride out the current storms.'
Although the yield on the trust is more attractive than at rivals, such as Schroder Oriental Income (4.1 per cent) and Aberdeen Asia Income (3.6 per cent), its overall returns have not been as impressive.
This has led Alan Brierley, investment trust expert at broker Canaccord Genuity, to recommend Aberdeen Asian Income to income seekers as a result of its 'far superior long-term risk-adjusted returns'.
Kerley says that when China comes good, any fund underperformance will be eradicated.
Comfortingly, Brierley says that if stock markets remain choppy, all Asian income funds should 'comfortably outperform' rivals concentrating on capital growth.

From this article, I gleaned some insight on what adult (university-level) learners are looking for in a game that constitutes part of their professional education: in addition to ease of use and playability, which are essential for almost all gamers, the article suggests that professional learners seek a "meta-educational" explanation of how the game is a worthwhile part of their professional preparation, and remediation that helps them identify exactly what lessons they should draw from the gameplay.

The train going through the tunnel moved faster than normal. All passengers had no idea of what had just taken place. Yet Gabriel watched them all from the front of the car. This car out of all others was to be picked for the Afterlife games. The reaper didn't know whether to be sorry for this group or to be excited about being able to run the games for once.
The train now moved through a dark tunnel. This meant Citadel City was near and that now would be his time to start the briefings. His materialization out of nowhere didn't seem to have an effect on the busy passengers at all. He took the appearance of a young boy in a black cloak with white hair and red eyes; the same albino appearance he had when he was alive. *ahem* The gray reaper cleared his throat.
"Good evening passengers." he spoke calmly. "I am Gabriel and I am here to welcome you all to Citadel City before we reach our stop."
"What on earth are you rambling on about?" yawned a young woman sitting in seat 8. "Is this the wrong train?"
"Like I don't even, like, know what this kid is talking about either." another young woman from seat seven spoke.
"That voice sounds familiar..." went the blind male from seat 10.
"You are all a part of the Afterlife games." said Gabriel.
You're forgetting something sir! Show them what's happened sir! came a bubbly voice from his thin black earpiece. Gabriel could always count on advice from his assistant. "It's much easier if I just show you all." Gabriel spoke switching on a monitor conveniently stationed on a wall of the train.
The monitor flashed to news footage. A few heads turned to watch. The broadcast was loud.
This is Tiffany Williams with a mind numbing news bulletin. Right now I'm standing in front of the station outside the city where the train crash that occurred earlier this day is still recovering victims of the tragedy. So far there has been no survivors from what I can tell. More victims recovered from this terrible incident have been discovered to be the bodies of Elanora Jameson, Fae Cantigre, Clarissa Montague, Matthew Jameson, Sachiko Hayashi, Marcus Giles, Thomas Marx, Joe Brody, Ms. Mavin Davis, Stella Marx, twins Allen and Thomas Rhodes, the beloved Fabian Gestalt, Tia Wang, Romeo Willis, Jackie Hayes, Damien Peers and a Ms. Rita Thompson.
Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.
Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.
"Yo what the hell is this shit?" A scruffy young man in seat 11 shouted. "Is this some sort of joke?"
The monitor footage cut to weeping family members and friends. "So are we like, dead or something, like that?" the female in seat seven asked once more.
"Please stay calm everyone." Gabriel advised. "No one is dead yet. Your chance to gain your normal lives back lies here in Citadel City."
The train emerged from it's dark tunnel and onto tracks leading to an island of sorts. A large city could be seen with a tower in the center that sits high in the sky. The ominous environment seemed to be tinted with the color red. For those who knew no better, this city looked like a picture of an apocalyptic worn place.
"Now are there any questions before I head on to the next subject?" Gabriel asked politely.
"ë¹ì ì´ ë¬´ì¨ ë§ìíëê±°ì¼?" spoke a little Korean girl as the train got closer and closer the the wretched island.

BLOOD donors got to roll up their sleeves in state-of-the-art facilities yesterday with the opening of the new Tamworth Blood Donor Centre at the Longyard.
The centre has been purpose-built for blood collection and attracted at least 25 whole blood donors in its first afternoon.
It has 10 chairs, up from six at the old centre, an extra interview room, a large refreshment and waiting area, a spacious, open-plan design and more parking.
There are also photos and stories of local blood recipients on the walls – including The Leader photographer Geoff O'Neill, who needed blood after a motorcycle accident – and TVs and music to keep donors occupied.
But at least one feature of the old centre has remained – the milkshake maker made the journey across town with staff and volunteers, fortunately matching the decor of the new centre.
Anne Sanders was among the first people to donate, giving her 66th donation yesterday.
The blood and plasma donor didn't intend to schedule her regular appointment on the opening day, but was glad to get a look at the new centre.
"It's lovely, clean, roomy, friendly, and it's very streamlined," Miss Sanders said.
Miss Sanders said she donated because both she and her father had needed blood transfusions in the past, and she had one of the rarer blood types.
Mayor Col Murray also rolled up his sleeves on the opening day, and like Miss Sanders, was lucky his regular appointment fell on that day.
Local blood transfusion recipient Louisa Burke welcomed the "fantastic" new centre, the entrance of which sports a photo of her and eight-year-old daughter Isabelle.
Mrs Burke received six units of blood after haemorrhaging while giving birth to Isabelle, and has since become a donor, knowing first-hand the life-saving value it has.
Community relations officer Sandee Thompson said she hoped the new centre would attract people who had thought of donating, but had never gotten around to it.
Appointments to give blood can be made by phoning 13 14 95 or visit the website, donateblood.com.au

Grafton Food Pantry to open new digs Tuesday
HUNTLEY – Moving equipment and food to serve hundreds of people a month in a more spacious warehouse was a daunting task for the Grafton Food Pantry.
Board member Harriet Ford didn't think the pantry's small network of volunteers could complete the move, which was announced last month, and have the pantry running by Tuesday. But Ford's concern vanished after the nonprofit received unsolicited help from individuals to service groups in the Huntley community.
"It's been a wonderful experience," Ford said. "People have reached out from all over the community – from churches to individuals to Sun City clubs. It's been rewarding to see so many people want to take care of their neighbors."
