Meh, that would've been a pretty tough shot for a total noob like Andrea. I would've been more pissed if she'd have been able to pull off a kill shot there. So I don't think it's a cop-out at all. Serves an important message that we don't usually get in the action/horror genre--that the untrained person who goes off all half-cocked with a firearm is probably just going to hurt himself or a friend/family member than an enemy/zombie.

This is my theory too. I don't know anything about the comic, but I understand the show has stayed pretty close to it so far (correct me if I'm wrong). But it seems like they're going to leave the farm and run into another group of survivors soon (after the barn thing gets settled).
There was a lot of whining by the critics about the pace of this season, but this past episode is the signal that everything's going to pick up a bit. I think critics can be a bit too demanding at times, but you have to have some time for people to unwind and be more human and less visceral, or else the show's not going to last long.

I can't see that happening without a completely out-of-the-blue twist of humans interbreeding with zombies somehow. They haven't gone into that at all, so it would be a total mind fuck if it happened.
What I see happening is a Red Dawn-like counterattack to take back some territory. You have to start winning if you plan on achieving overall victory. Right now, they seem to be reacting and not shifting the advantage.

I felt the exact same way as bk when she had Daryl in her sights, I was like "oh god what an unbelievably dumb bitch to shoot him" but I was also thinking that as much as I love Daryl it'd be a huge cop out for her to wound him and not have him die. The "just grazed him" thing is used in so many tv shows.
Not much has been said about the opening where we saw Shane and Lori witness the military napalming Atlanta.

The Internet of Things: Prediction
Le Web Paris (see video) explores a future of technology that connects everyday devices all the time, often described as The Internet of Things.
This story and video from Reuters and the Huffington Post form the basis of my own observations and developer recommendations as a 30-year IBM technologist, futurist and Digital Home consultant. Included at the end are four interesting infographics from Cisco, Intel, Casaleggio Associati, and Beecham Research. Read the rest of this entry »
Under Skin Blood Test Sends Lab Results to Phone
Swiss researchers have unveiled a prototype "lab on a chip" that is surgically implanted in the interstitial tissue just beneath the skin, where it analyzes compounds in the blood, and sends results to a phone or tablet through wireless radio connections.
How does it work? The microchip has seven chemical & molecular sensors and gets inductive power from a patch worn on top of the skin. Every 10 minutes the collected data is sent through the patch and a Bluetooth connection to a patient or doctor via smartphone or tablet.
Although the device will not be widely available for at least a few years, its potential practical applications are widespread and include:
- Glucose monitoring in diabetics, more frequently and without a finger prick.
- Post surgery patient monitoring
- Facilitate predictive medicine, including a pending heart attack
- Measure metabolism and drug absorption
- Athletes monitoring fluids & nutrition

When NOT to buy a Smartphone
I do love smartphones and tablets (especially the Apple iPhone & iPad). They're like having a powerful computer in your pocket and support all sorts of mHealth (mobile health) apps, but I have to admit they aren't for everyone.
As I read through the 13 articles about "Advancing the mHealth Ecosystem," I remembered today's conversation with a dear friend that expanded my perspective. She's about to give up her iPhone 4 and go back to using a flip-phone. Since I often promote Apple smartphones and tablets for seniors (she's not yet 60), and my wife talked her into the iPhone a year ago, this was a bit of a shock, so I had her explain.

mHealth — What does it mean and what's included
What is mHealth, and does the term stand for Mobile Health or Modern Health?
That's the subject of a an online discussion started by David Doherty, moderator of a LinkedIn group interested in using mobile technologies to improve health. He started the discussion to support my view that any definition of mHealth that only includes smartphones is both limiting and arrogant. This article supports that discussion by expanding the definition of mHealth and what's included.
Much of this article builds on an earlier article that I wrote in May 2012, where I addressed confusion among syllogisms, using the analogy that Lions & Tigers are both Animals, but not all Animals are Lions or Tigers. Likewise, there are some confusing overlaps among the terms mHealth, eHealth, Wireless Health, Telehealth, and Modern Health. And the devices that serve these market segments overlap too, so I must discuss them collectively.

Blood Glucose Meters: Monitoring Diabetes on Your Phone
Living with Diabetes requires frequent monitoring of blood glucose (blood sugar), an essential measure of your health. The American Diabetes Association can help you better understand Diabetes, select from the latest tools, learn how to manage your blood glucose levels, and prevent serious complications. We provide a guide to help you select a blood glucose meter, many of which are available at local drug stores, but today's article is inspired by one that's not listed and you may not have seen yet.

Sensor Network to Protect the Elderly
System monitors seniors' health in the comfort of their own homes
By Marlene Cimons, National Science Foundation, December 6, 2012
Many elderly dread the prospect that chronic medical issues will force them to leave their homes for an assisted living facility or nursing home, making them dependent upon others for their care and personal needs. Sometime in the near future, however, new technology could help them remain in their homes longer, perhaps indefinitely, without having to give up their independence.
"Our goal is to keep people in their private homes for as long as possible," says Marjorie Skubic, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Missouri. "The idea is to detect functional decline or early signs of illness, so we can identify problems when they are very small and proactively address them before they become catastrophic. That way, mom won't have to leave her home." Read the rest of this entry »
This $200 iPhone Case Is An FDA-Approved EKG Machine
Health Care is hurting, and the world is changing.
More and more, Hospitals will fit in our Pockets.
Most iPhone cases just protect your phone from drops. If you're getting fancy, it may have a fisheye camera lens or a screen-printed back. But what about diagnosing coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, or congenital heart defects? The AliveCor Heart Monitor is an FDA-approved iPhone case that can be held in your hands (or dramatically pressed against your chest) to produce an EKG/ECG–the infamous green blips pulsing patient-side in hospitals everywhere.
"We think that EKG screening can be as approachable as taking blood pressure," AliveCor President and CEO Judy Wade tells Co.Design. Read the rest of this entry »

AT&T blocks FaceTime, impacts the Deaf
By Brendan Gramer, in Wired Magazine
When I learned that Apple would finally be enabling the iPhone's FaceTime app to work over mobile connections, I was ecstatic. As someone who is deaf, I could now use this one-touch, always-on video chat app to communicate with friends and family in my natural language: American Sign Language (ASL).
But then I found out that AT&T will block mobile FaceTime unless customers sign up for an expensive unlimited voice plan. I wasn't thrilled with the thought of having to pay this AT&T "deaf tax" just to use the mobile data I'm already paying for.
It's disappointing that AT&T is standing in the way of innovation that addresses the needs of its deaf and hard-of-hearing customers. Sometimes it takes a while (and some prodding) for technology and technology companies to catch up to and embrace accessibility. In this case the technology is there, but it's AT&T that's throwing up the barrier.

Head Coach Eric Mangini spoke with media members today, stating rookie quarterback Colt McCoy would return to practice after being sidelined for numerous weeks with a high ankle sprain.
McCoy will take a "decent amount" of the first team reps during practice Wednesday, meaning he will likely start for the Browns when they take the field against Cincinnati this weekend. With the recent struggles of veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme, the move is not surprising. If McCoy can go through practice without incident, Jake will be second on the depth chart while Seneca Wallace will be third.
McCoy sprained his ankle during Cleveland's loss to Jacksonville four weeks ago. Since his injury, Delhomme took over the starting role and led the Browns to a 2-1 record. Those wins came mainly on the legs of Hillis, not behind the arm of Delhomme. In that time span, Jake has thrown just one touchdown while tossing three interceptions.

The BBC has received several complaints from Xbox 360 owners whose consoles malfunctioned after using Kinect for a brief period.
"We plugged it in the day we got it but only played it a few times before we got the red lights. The next day when we tried it again we still had the red rings of death and haven't been able to use it since," ten-year old Adam Winnifrith told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours.
The aforementioned red lights are the famous Red Lights Of Death (RROD) which plagued the Xbox 360 at launch and were supposedly fixed after Microsoft spent more than a billion dollars to repair and replace affected consoles as well as redesigning new consoles to avoid the overheating problems which caused the RROD.
Microsoft has responded to the BBC's report, insisting that the Kinect had been "designed to work with every Xbox 360 sold to date," and that "There is no correlation between the three flashing red lights error and Kinect. Any new instances of the three flashing red lights error are merely coincidental."
Add new comment
it could be that people who have not run their xbox for so long suddenly started it up because something new finally came out. not just some "new" game, but a whole new idea behind games and control.
these long dormant xbox, now receiving alot of attention finally broke down and succumbed to the RROD. so no, it's not a coincidence at all.
Shit 360 revision
Bet it wasnt a JASPER.
Common Sense
The Kinect is obviously putting more load on the PSU causing more heat due to USB power draw. The RROD is caused by crappy heat sink mounts & poor thermal paste. Just google RROD repair & you will find that you can replace flimsey heat sink mounts with screws that will prevent the chips from breaking the solder. PERFORM THIS UPGRADE BEFORE RROD. This combined with artic silver & your xbox will never get hot.
Its more funny to just gut the Xbox stick a PC in it and play console games to amaze friends.
Yes, great idea, stick a PC inside an xbox. You are so knowledgeable that I believe this method was created by no one other than yourself. Genius...
firmware hack and softmode is the cause of red ring dead not kinect????
Firmware Hack and xbox elite = red ring dead for most users not kinect ??? wath a supid idead ???
killer firmwarehack
Red ring dead most cases related to firmware hack and softmode ... the main cause of red ring dead Firmware hack
Because most 360 owners are tech-savvy enough to even perform a firmware hack, right? *LOL*
Give me a damn break...
After owning 2 xbox 360's and having all of my friends have the same problem we have all decided to NEVER EVER go with microsofts crap and have moved on the the better PLAYSTATION 3 which has served me very well.
MICROSOFT owes consumers BIG TIME! stop passing the BUCK
and blaming us for your consoles failure.
nope i dont think so
i have one of the first gen xbox and i play it every day i own a kinect i use all features on it never unpluge it and still no rrod so i say its a false statment.
he have not die yet, does
he have not die yet, does that mean people doesnt die? because you are not getting the red light doesnt mean other people wont.
prolly just coincidental
prolly just coincidental
"The BBC has received several
"The BBC has received several complaints from Xbox 360 owners" coincidental? dont think so.
I wish they'd get a statement
I wish they'd get a statement from someone over 17 at least, not from a 10 years old.
They never said anything about which version of the console was used, which renders this article close to useless.
That's just as informative as this article.
Doesn't matter dummy.
The article says MS stated Kinect was designed to work w/every version of their shitbox. Maybe the RROD is not 'cuzza Kinect, but it's definitely 'cuz the Xbox, like all consoles, are pieces of shit.
Shit is what MS does best. Making it, not cleaning it. They fuck up & then blame everyone else. Bet they couldn't even design a poop scoop properly.
It does matter dummy
As usual, some kid with a lot to say and little knowledge to back it up.
How do you solve a problem on a composite system (a system with lots of different parts)? One method is by taking it apart and testing each component separately to find out which one is faulty. If we can't do that (consumers) then there's another way. It's not as accurate, sure, but it works well. That would be by comparing similar systems (if such systems are available).
Now then, the different versions of the xbox don't all have the same components so by comparing failures between them and using some statistics one can define which versions are the most affected (that if all of them are), or which versions are not (again, if any of them are not), based on comparisons between the systems (what are the different components between them) one can also infer which components are most likely the cause or at least which components are not the cause.
Really, saying a bunch of baseless stuff gets you nowhere 'cuzza' no one takes you seriously if you do.
Red Ring, not red light
Red Ring, not red light
hmm xboxs most common fault . It aint the kinect thats causing it, its the fact that microsoft have used cheap chips, cheap boards and crappy heatsinks on the boards. The more graphicly advanced the games are getting the faster the gpu/cpu heats up and warps the main board. Once this board heats up it warps slightly causeing the pins on the graphics an cpu to break away from the board, therefor giving you a hardware fault ie, red ring of death. If its under warrinty get microsoft to fix it if it aint goto your local pc reapir shop , itll cost £25 to repair this..
XBox repair guy....
you know someone is a good writer when they type something like: "The aforementioned red lights are the famous Red Lights Of Death (RROD)"
It's more accurate to say "red lights of death" rather than "red ring of death" because 75% of a circle is not a circle. It is not a ring of lights.
dude - don't be mean. what if
dude - don't be mean. what if they are asian. L and R can be easily confused...
It's funny how everybody thinks every language apart the from asian/eastern dialect pronounces R's like L's. In fact english is one of the few languages (if not the only language) that DOES separate the two distinctively. Hence it might as well not be *asian*.
Russian, Deutsch, Francais, Italiano, Espanol. All the big ones buddy. Go eat some fly lice you plick.

Attorney Vito Torchia Jr. Remarks on Intellectual Property Challenges Facing U.S.
Vito Torchia Jr. responds to a recent Washington Post op-ed on the topic of intellectual property.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 01, 2013
-- As technology continues to play a bigger and bigger role in individual lives and in the global economy, the concept of intellectual property is more important than ever before--and according to attorney
Vito Torchia Jr.
, the United States is currently facing a major intellectual property crisis. Torchia is hardly the only one to think so. A recent Washington Post editorial, jointly authored by Dennis Blair and Jon Huntsman Jr., notes the dire IP problems presently facing the U.S. Torchia has issued a new statement to the press, responding to the op-ed.
Vito Torchia Jr. is the Managing Attorney at Brookstone Law Firm, in California; the company represents numerous clients in intellectual property cases. According to Torchia, the statements made in the Washington Post op-ed go a long way toward explaining why IP protection is so important. "Intellectual property is not esoteric, and defending it is not just an ethical or a legal concern, but a very practical one," he explains. "Lost IP means lost dollars, lost jobs, and a lost competitive edge."
Blair and Huntsman, in their op-ed piece, agree. They begin by noting that, in an era when the United States is struggling to provide jobs, the massive loss of intellectual property is a "national crisis." Though this may sound, at first, like an exaggeration, the authors note that intellectual property is the single "most important international competitive advantage" that the United States enjoys. Even so, nearly every business sector in the U.S. has experienced massive theft of IP, or illegal reproduction.
There are many individual stories that are "infuriating," the op-ed continues. Blair and Huntsman point to one unnamed, foreign company that counterfeited a high-tech product it had previously bought from a U.S. manufacturer. After stealing the technology, the company became the U.S. company's biggest international competitor--causing that company's share price to plummet.
Even aside from the individual stories, the article continues, the scale of IP loss is "staggering." Explain Blair and Hunstman, "The Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property, which we co-chaired, estimates that the total revenue loss to U.S. companies is comparable to the total value of U.S. exports to all of Asia."
The bottom line, say the editorialists, is that the current theft of U.S. intellectual property amounts to what may be the largest act of theft in world history. More troublingly, the article contends, is the fact that the nation's response has, thus far, proven "weak and disjointed."
"This does indeed mark an area in which more vigorous and robust national policies are in order to secure our intellectual property--but there are also steps that individual companies can take to preserve their confidential data and their ideas," Torchia says. "In addition to working with cybersecurity specialists, companies can also work with IP attorneys to ensure that they fully understand their legal rights."
Vito Torchia Jr. is an attorney who has represented numerous businesses and innovators in intellectual property cases.

Reach local iTunes library over the net
Confirmed, no longer works w/ itunes 8.1.1 .
Reach local iTunes library over the net
Instead of
dns-sd -P "name of server" _daap._tcp local 3690 localhost 127.0.0.1
I used dns-sd -R "name of server" _daap._tcp. local 3690 localhost 127.0.0.1
Seems to work great. If I get excited I'll post a launchd script. :)
Reach local iTunes library over the net
This works!
One catch with it though: I needed to allow remote hosts to connect to my ssh port forwards via the -g option(or GatewayPorts yes in ~/ssh/.config for that host)
ssh -gNf -L 3690:localhost:3689 remote-machine-with-itunes
Reach local iTunes library over the net
I have a plist to run my dns-sd registration in the background. I created a ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.dnssd.plist file which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.apple.dnssdproxy</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/bin/dns-sd</string> <string>-R</string> <string>Home iTunes</string> <string>_daap._tcp.</string> <string>local</string> <string>3690</string> <string>localhost</string> <string>127.0.0.1</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Load it up with launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.dnssd.plist
Reach local iTunes library over the net
I too saw this problem with Meerkat and iTunes 8.1, but I discovered a fix for it. I'm not sure how it translates to the dns-sd tool, but this is the Cocoa code that I use:
It adds some protocol-specific options that have always been there, but that iTunes just started requiring. The above equate to an advertised iTunes version 6.0.4, which is the oldest one I could see in use on most networks.

Mobileme DNS no longer works. If you know the remote machine IP, this script is working for me. Fill in your REMOTE_ITUNES_IP.

Care for a Leather Briefcase:
A leather briefcase is a necessary tool for several professions. The briefcase accompanies you on a daily basis and you rely on it to hold all of the important papers you need for your job. It gets tossed in the backseat, the meeting floor and any other handy place. And it gets dirty. If you take good care of your leather briefcase, it will continue to look good no matter where you toss it
Daily Care- Be careful where you set the leather briefcase down. You may be in a hurry and not notice the spilled coffee or icing from someone's doughnut. If you set the briefcase down on something, take the time to wipe it off. Even if you only have a wet paper towel, that is better than letting the liquid or sticky substance dry into the leather
- If you are caught in the rain and your briefcase gets wet, dry it off immediately with a soft cloth. Use a paper towel from a restroom if you have to--just do not leave it wet. Just as you don't want the leather to dry out and crack, neither do you want it to stay wet. This may cause unsightly spotting on the leather and will cause the stitching to rot away or the hardware to rust
Routine Care
- Your leather briefcase will occasionally need some routine care and cleaning. How often your briefcase needs cleaning depends on the use it gets. If you are hard on it, tossing it here and there, it will need cleaning and conditioning more often. Even gently used briefcases should be cleaned well once or twice a year to keep them looking good and lasting longer
- Clean the case with quality leather cleaner. Make sure it does not leave a greasy residue behind. If you do not have a leather cleaning solution, wipe the leather down with a soft damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. Look for stained areas as you wipe it down
- If the case has any mildew from getting wet, you can remove this with a solution of 1 cup water and 1 cup rubbing alcohol. Apply the solution sparingly with a cloth. You can also use mild soapy water, but be sure to rinse and dry well
- Rub the clean leather briefcase down with a commercially purchased leather conditioner. This helps to keep the leather soft and supple. Apply the conditioner by following the directions on the container. Be sure to rub it in well, using a very soft lint-free cloth
- You should follow up this thorough cleaning by water treating the leather briefcase. You can purchase a moisture barrier solution at any leather store. Apply it as the last step in cleaning and preserving your case. Allow it to dry well before using your leather briefcase again
Inside the Briefcase
- Briefcases have many different types of linings on the inside of them. Soft-sided cases usually have cloth linings and separations. Hard-sided cases may have felt linings. While you are cleaning the outside, don't forget to give the interior some attention. Empty the case out and dump it upside down to remove any small debris that might have collected
- Wipe the inside down with a damp cloth. Do not saturate the inside, as it may mildew when you close it back up. Just give everything a good wipe down, discard papers you don't need and organize things you do need
How to Organize Your Briefcase:
Once you leave your office, your briefcase becomes your portable desk, filing cabinet and supply closet. It deserves an investment of time and thoughtful planning. The dividends will make your work life considerably less stressful and more efficient
- Evaluate your current briefcase. If it's too small, too shabby or lacks sufficient interior pockets and pouches, it's time to shop
- Assign sections of the briefcase to hold specific types of folders. Reserve the front for items that require immediate action and a back pocket for background reading, or place folders in the order of scheduled meetings. While the specifics are infinitely variable, the need for some sort of system is fundamental
- Sort papers into colored folders by subject matter before stowing them in your briefcase. Digging through a single massive folder while your briefcase is precariously balanced on your lap, an airplane tray or the edge of another person's desk wastes time and fuels frustration. See 185 Create a Flawless Filing System
- Designate specific pockets within the case for your PDA and cellular phone. Before closing the briefcase, always check these pockets, and you'll never again leave one of these devices behind
- Schedule a regular monthly time to clean out your briefcase. File any straggling papers and business cards, discard worn-out pens and markers, and restock supplies such as notepads and sticky notes, envelopes for receipts and extra batteries
Package Included:

TMZ has obtained video of Vinny Guadagnino storming off from the "Jersey Shore" house in the middle of the night -- for good.
As TMZ first reported, Vinny bolted from the house after fighting with another cast member ... and made a beeline for home in Staten Island.
In the video, you see Vinny hop in a cab and drive away ... all while an MTV cameraman films from just a few feet away. As you can see below, Pauly D was with Vinny at one point as he loaded up the cab to leave.
Sources close to show have told us Vinny has been a pain in the ass and no one will be going out of their way to get him to come back.
Was looking at the pics TMZ put up of the cast while they were going inside the house. Everybody looked beat, like they haven't slept in a couple days or something. I hope for their sakes MTV isn't pushing them into an early grave.
run Vinnie run.......as fast as you can away from that group
use your money and your university degree to make a great life for yourself
maybe go back to get a post graduate degree and live an anonymous life for a while and come out in the end a respectable citizen
because I'm not sure the rest of them ever will
you don't need to keep the Jersey shore label for the rest of you life if you make the right choices now and put this crap behind
what you choose to do with the rest of your life will tell us more about the person you are than a few "reality" seasons on TV
A brain emerged from the Jersey Shore home two nights ago, stating,
"I can't take it anymore. I will be branded for life if I stick with these losers so I'm thinking of my future wife, children and grand-children. I also apologize to my parents. Am enrolling in college, stat."
So aren't they getting paid 100k per episode to drink, party and basically hang out? Go work a real job with a normal salary Vinny you will kiss the ass of every MTV exec to make that type of money again.
so done with the fake drama of reality shows.....where are the "Happy Days"....Laverne and Shirley....Andy Griffith....better, best times!
So a show that thrives on its drama/filming people who are a pain in the ass says the person who left was a pain in the ass. What an amazing surprise. I wonder how that happened.
Ratings must have crashed. This is more fakery at its finest. As I told you before, Vinny youth better ride out this Jersey Shore train wreck because it's 14:59 and counting....
HOW INTRIGUING! Vinny getting into a cab, leaving an idiotic show, full of idiotic ppl! Think I'm going to faint just from the sight of him.
OMG!! This was the most entertaining video I've ever seen...someone getting into a cab and driving off, WOW!!!
Congrats, Vinnie, your IQ just rose to the temperature of a comfortable room. Now be nice and don't go lording your smarts over your former cast mates!

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Radical Buddhism and the Paradox of Acceptance
Posted: August 20th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Post | Tags: Buddhism, Buddhism Acceptance, Buddhism Radical Acceptance, Meditation, Mindfulness, Mindfulness Meditation, Radical Acceptance, Radical Buddhism, Religion News, Shambhala, Slavoj Zizek, Slavoj Zizek Buddhism, Western Buddhism | No Comments »(originally on The Huffington Post 8/20/10)
Critical theorist Slavoj Zizek has an interestingly harsh critique of Western Buddhism and the meditation tools it employs. Framing his critique in Marxist terms, he argues that Buddhism is the perfect spiritual tradition to be co-opted by our self-absorbed, destructive, and consumeristic society. For him, Buddhism represents the perfect ideology for passive acquiescence to the world as it is, a panacea of inner peace that fits neatly into an advertising culture where, by now, "be present" could just as well be the slogan of a credit card company as an instruction from a meditation teacher.
Zizek writes, "[Western Buddhism allows us to] fully participate in the frantic pace of the capitalist game, while sustaining the perception that you are not really in it, that you are well aware how worthless the spectacle is — what really matters to you is the peace of the inner self to which you know you can always withdraw."
In other words, for Zizek, Buddhism, in the context of a Western consumer culture, allows the individual to believe he is transforming his mind without actually changing the conditions of suffering that shape the individual's society. This represents a dangerous type of inner peace – a peace not based on true insight into the interdependent nature of reality, but instead based on withdrawal into a mental cocoon, some personal oasis isolated from the turmoil of the world outside. In this cocoon, the whole world can go to hell, and the meditator can — put simply — be ok with that. In fact, the meditator can even be a willing actor in a system aiding great oppression, and still live at ease, because it's "all good" anyway. By practicing "acceptance," we simply become comfortable with the status quo. Of course, as is true of most things said by contemporary critical theorists, Zizek's best point is made more convincingly and artfully by someone else, in this case Stevie Wonder: "Make sure when you say you're in it but not of it, you're not helping turn this into the place sometimes called hell."
Although his critique of Buddhism is somewhat uninformed, Zizek does offer, in his own way, a good insight into the danger of misunderstanding Buddhist practice and the techniques of mindfulness altogether. What fascinates me is that his critique parallels — in the language of cultural theory — the personal wariness that most beginning meditators have about the practice of meditation, especially regarding 1) how mindfulness actually works, 2) what acceptance really means, and 3) how genuine transformation comes about.
The first hint we should have that meditation is not a passive withdrawal into a mental shell is this: Meditating is actually really hard! Things that are passive tend to be easy, right? Watching Project Runway for half an hour is a piece of cake. Watching your mind for half an hour, not so much. The truth is that mindfulness — paying direct attention to what our thoughts do in the present moment — is not at all peaceful, at least not in the "easy" sense of the word. Anyone who has tried it on a regular basis knows this. Why is it hard? Because coming back to the moment again and again is a true revolution against habit, a rebellion against our cultural tendency to always avoid what we are feeling and experiencing. It is this chronic avoidance of ourselves (not the rigorous practice of self-awareness we do on a cushion) that lies at the core of mindless consumer culture. Without having an actual practice, however, there's no way Slavoj Zizek or any of the rest of us could really see the irony of this realization.
Of course, for people who don't practice, meditation can and does come across like a pitchperfect cliché of passivity before the status quo. When you look at someone sitting there, you might think: "Seriously what does that do for them? What does it really change about their situation? How does it better the world?" We ask these skeptical questions because what we rightfully want is not just the ability to pay attention, but the ability to transform our circumstances. We want change we can believe in, both internally and externally. That's the payoff we are looking for. Without the reward of transformation coming at some point on the path, meditation is useless. Buddhist teachers can preach "there is no goal" as much as they want, but most students aren't going to even stick around long enough to hear the subtleties of what that really means, either. And there are goals in meditation, by the way, just not the kind that can be achieved in 30 minutes or your money back.
Practical transformation is what Buddhist practice is all about. It's also about changing the world. To practice meditation consistently is to push back hard against the tidal wave of materialism that is quite literally killing the planet. But transformation is actually step three in a three-step process.
Step one is the much less sexy practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness is the natural scientific method of the mind. A scientist brings a microscope, a meditator brings mindfulness. We need to realize that we live in a state of deep assumption about the way the mind works, which then extends to our understanding of the world. We rarely experience anything directly, without first slowing down and paying attention. A scientist shouldn't make statements based on unsubstantiated claims, and a meditator shouldn't try to change anything until mindfulness is decently established. Whenever we try to change something before we understand it, our attempted transformation actually comes from habit and assumption, not wisdom. Solutions that come from habit, as Albert Einstein pointed out, just end up reinforcing the problem. That's called samsara, due to the always circular structure of habitual logic.
Step two is the work of acceptance, and it is the true meaning of acceptance in a Buddhist sense that I believe Zizek and others fundamentally misunderstand. When we become mindful, we realize how much about ourselves we really don't like. This is the reason meditation is three million times harder than watching reality TV. It turns out that our self-loathing runs much deeper than our voyeuristic impulses.
For transformation to take place, we have to actually make friends with our mind. We have to learn to like ourselves. This is the opposite of a "get rich quick" scheme. There is no product we can purchase to aid this work. It only comes from the willingness to be with yourself, nakedly, openly, and lovingly, again and again over a long period of time. Which means we have to spend time with ourselves. A lot of time. And the time we spend with ourselves on the cushion is the opposite of passive. It's often tough, it's usually intense, and it leads to a hard-fought, slow-won, and revolutionary victory over self-hatred. We can actually come to like ourselves. Liking yourself is the result of acceptance. To call acceptance "radical" — as Tara Brach does — is actually a severe understatement.
Personally, I haven't met many people who report having realized the radical state of self-acceptance. The ones who have are powerful agents of global change. Does the kind of self-acceptance which Buddhist meditation techniques systematically cultivate in the individual really change the world? Well, no, not alone. Zizek is right about that, as well as the danger of thinking that acceptance is the end of journey and believing in any way that we are "in it but not of it." Eventually you have to get up and do something. But trying to change your life or the world without a real method for changing your own mind is inherently doomed to failure, because society is just a matrix of the hearts and minds of those who inhabit it. Built on the foundation of mindfulness and acceptance, radical transformation, beyond habit and assumption, can begin.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
User Reviews
There are 16 user reviews for the SE trim shown below
- Pros
- Quiet, smooth ride, modern tech features, quick for a hybrid, fuel economy
- Cons
- None so far
Purchased As New
Just an awesome car for the price, we paid about $26,000 out the door.
I am incredulous when someone says they traded their C-Max for a Prius -- this is like sending your steak dinner back and asking for a greasy hamburger instead. The only area where the Prius trumps the C-Max is slightly better fuel mileage, otherwise the Ford is a superior vehicle
We have about 2,000 miles on the car and so far it is the best vehicle I have ever owned, including the Lexus RX330, Toyota Highlander, MX-5, and others. Zero problems to date and average fuel economy has steadily increased up to 41 MPG. On recent tanks we're getting 45 MPG or so as the car breaks in and we re-learn old driving habits.
Long-term reliability is a question mark, but Ford warrants the hybrid bits for 8 years/100,000 miles so we're not worried.4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

CJ2-A Engine Removal
Can somebody walk me through or point me to a walk through of how to remove an engine from a CJ-2A. How much do these things weigh? Thanks so much for the help!
I had engines in and out of my old 1942 Jeep a number of times. Fortunately I had a big tree in the front yard. I'd pull the fenders and radiator/grill . Then I'd disconnect the drivelines and with a chain hoist tied to a big tree limb I'd pull out the whole works at once. Once it was out in the open I'd take off the transfer case and transmission and lower the engine into my pickup or whatever. I had a flathead in it originally the later a 'F' head. With the transmission and transfer case off 2 guys could move it on the ground but it was too heavy to lift by hand.
I second pulling the front sheet metal, How about renting a cherry picker? They've come way down in price maybe you can pick up a used one. as to walking you through it. take lots of pictures ask us lots of questions and you be fine!
Remove the front clip and you won't need to lift near as high to get it out. Before I built an A frame to pull engines I used a tree, and then later I used a tractor with a bucket to pull the engine.
I would think you could find a pretty inexpensive engine hoist on Craigslist. Use it, then re-sell it if you don't need to keep it! |

Since I wrote "Coal Production Cut Bullish For Coal Stocks", I kept tracking the EIA weekly coal production reports. Yesterday, natural gas (UNG) saw the strongest rally in weeks. Few people noticed that coal also rallied. I have seen data that was telling me something I have waited for: The US coal sector rebound has arrived!
US Coal Production Curtailment is Ending
The latest weekly coal production showed strong growth:
Click to enlarge
U.S. coal producers stopped curtailing productions since about three weeks ago. Not only this, but coal production was increased aggressively. I was surprised. I thought that production would remain low for sometime before moving up slowly. Production levels remained below 18M tons/week for six weeks before, so why did production move up so suddenly in the past three weeks? And what does this tell us?
Last week, I noticed the production up-tick. But I found that the production boosts occurred only in four western states:
In the last two weeks, the production interestingly ticked up a bit. I examined the numbers and found that the increase concentrated in four western states: Wyoming (+0.5M); New Mexico (+0.23M); Montana (+0.14M) and Colorado (+0.1M). I think the increase might be due to increased exports to Asia.
This week, it seems that coal production increased in more states. Here are the ten states with the highest production gains:
State | Production Gain in Tons | Gain% |
West Virginia | 109,567 | 4.58% |
Kentucky | 85,472 | 4.58% |
Wyoming | 76,064 | 1.13% |
Colorado | 65,053 | 11.76% |
Pennsylvania | 48,077 | 4.58% |
New Mexico | 42,442 | 8.33% |
Indiana | 29,692 | 4.58% |
Illinois | 29,081 | 4.58% |
Ohio | 23,358 | 4.58% |
Virginia | 16,781 | 4.58% |
I have explained earlier that the coal sector is cyclic, with quick turnaround cycles. When the demand is temporarily weak, producers promptly cut production, and coal prices recover soon.
I spent time to try to obtain more recent data on the supply and demand of coal and natural gas (or NG). In doing so, I noticed positive developments in coal that other people may have failed to notice. For example, the coal stockpile likely dropped to only 189M tons as of May of 2012, based on my calculation.
Coal producers curtail coal productions temporary to boost coal prices and to reduce costs and strengthen their balance sheets. Coal prices remain low, even though they went up a bit lately:
Why did coal producers begin to boost production again, and so rapidly? They cut productions to rebalance supply and demand. So unless there is indication that they have achieved the objective to rebalance supply and demand, no coal company would be in a hurry to resume production. Maybe coal producers learned something positive that the outsiders did not know?
Coal producers must have better and more recent supply/demand information. If a Chinese trader wanted to buy American coal, he would not call Mark Anthony for help. He would just call the CEO of Patriot Coal (PCX). The CEO would not tell me, either, although I advocated for PCX against everyone who would claim that PCX is going bankrupt soon.
People can speculate on why coal producers suddenly boosted productions. Looking at the coal price chart, I think we have seen the bottom. The coal producers probably saw the bottom a few weeks ahead of us.
We do know that US coal exports in March was up significantly. There were reports that US coal exports skyrocketed. We have to wait to see more recent U.S. coal export figures.
Given the strong rebound of coal productions, I am convinced that a coal rally has begun, and that PCX has little chance of bankruptcy. I continue to recommend these great U.S. coal stocks:
- James River Coal Company (JRCC)
- Patriot Coal [PCX]
- Arch Coal Inc. (ACI)
- Cloud Peak Energy (CLD)
- Alpha Natural Resources (ANR)
- Consol Energy (CNX)
- Black Hills Corp. (BKH)
- Walter Energy (WLT)
- Westmoreland Coal (WLB)
- Peabody Energy (BTU)
- Nacco Industries (NC)
- Alliance Resource Partners LP (ARLP)
- Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL)
The coal sector has seen some miserable times of late. But like Paulo Santos once said, a time like this is the time to separate the men from the mice.

Heart of the matter (cont.)Posted: Friday December 15, 2006 12:21PM; Updated: Friday December 15, 2006 12:36PM
SI.com: Do you ever find yourself defending, or do you feel the need to defend, a $136 million contract? Hendry: I don't think anybody would sit in my seat and say, 'Well, gee, that's really something everybody likes to do.' I think everyone knew early on in the process that it would be somewhat north of [Carlos] Beltran's deal. That was the price of poker. [Beltran landed a seven-year, $119 million deal from the Mets before the '05 season.] I'm totally convinced that there were three or four other clubs -- maybe a couple more than that -- that would have done exactly the same thing, or more. I think everybody that was in that last group was at Beltran's type of deal, going into that last weekend. Obviously, when people don't sign the player, they act like, 'Gee, that was a lot of money. Boy, we all got out early.' But we all know better. SI.com: Are you afraid that with all these big contracts, baseball is going down the same silly road it went down in the late '90s and earlier in this decade? Hendry: I can't answer how it's going to go down the road. I think what happens is, the tough part of the business, as a GM, is when you're in the free-agent starting pitching world. This isn't the first year that market got escalated to a level that I don't think anybody feels comfortable with. It's been going down that slope for quite a while now. And there's always a framework of deals to spin off of, unfortunately. Everybody seems to be astonished by the numbers that the free-agent pitchers are getting. But there is a history. Whether it was [A.J.] Burnett [five years, $55 million last winter] or Russ Ortiz [four for $33 million before '05] or Matt Clement [three, $25.5 million before '05], the deals that happened in the last two or three years turned some heads and had escalated that market. Jarrod Washburn. Jarrod's deal last year [four years, $37 million] probably gave an area where Lilly was going to end up around or above, and that's what happened. You just try to make the best decision you can. As a GM, I've never been in the starting pitching free-agent hunt before. It's not a place anybody would tell you they're comfortable at. The best thing you can do is develop your own pitching. We did that quite well for awhile, and then it came tumbling down with injuries. And we have a very, very good group coming up in the system, pitching wise, behind this group. So, hopefully, we won't always be in that market. SI.com: But are the escalating salaries for players -- two players have signed for more than $100 million this offseason, and the Red Sox will end up paying more than that for Daisuke Matsuzaka -- good for baseball? Hendry: I'm not privy to what all the finances are. I think this was being predicted, that this would be a very lucrative offseason. The game has a history of kind of leveling itself off if things are getting too much in one direction. I'm no expert on this, but I think there's a pretty good balance now between Major League Baseball and the Players Association on the percentage of revenue spent on the players. 2 of 3 | ||||||||||||||||

Bridgewater N. S., 1920
The Bridgewater Normal School, today Bridgewater State University, was founded in 1840 by Horace Mann and was one of the first public teacher training institutions in the United States (second only to another Mann-founded normal school in Framingham, now BSU's colleague in the Massachusetts state college system). Teaching was an important job category for women with some education, often before or in lieu of marriage—training at a normal school in preparation for such a career was often the only opportunity its students would have for continued education.
(And never fear, I'm still on style watch: I can't tell if our young woman here's skirt is oddly angled or if those are some type of bloomers or culottes, but it really looks like they are and I really hope so…)
May, 1920. Seems to be the same (rooftop, I think?) setting as this photo from the previous year.
(Also: it's hard to see details too clearly since its wearer is so far back in the shot, but what a nice coat!)

Announced today, the Navy's plans would begin construction of the range at a site adjacent to the North Atlantic right whale calving grounds and in a protected area for commercially valuable snapper-grouper. Yet the Navy has not completed surveys of whales in the area and not obtained authorization from the National Marine Fisheries Service for its operations on the range.
"The Navy's decision to pass off an undersea warfare training range as just a construction project is an obvious dodge of environmental protections for right whales and commercially valuable marine life," said Catherine Wannamaker, an attorney with Southern Environmental Law Center that has been closely monitoring the process for over three years. "Proceeding with construction locks in public funds and location before the range is evaluated and approved for ship traffic, sonar, and debris near the only known nursery for right whales and within areas critical to commercially valuable marine life."
Last year, the groups submitted comments to the U.S. Navy outlining concerns regarding the proposed Undersea Warfare Training Range on behalf of 22 public interest nonprofits. As part of the planned training, Navy ships -- exempt from speed restrictions recently implemented by the government to protect endangered right whales -- would pass through the calving ground when traveling between the bases and proposed training area. The Navy plans to conduct 470 annual exercises on the training range with up to three vessels and two aircraft engaged in simulated warfare. Ships and aircraft would travel to the range from Mayport, FL, and Kings Bay, GA.
"There is no room for error with right whales," said Sierra Weaver, attorney for Defenders of Wildlife. "Rather than push forward with a decision based on limited information and limited analysis about possible effects to this species, the Navy needs to go back and do it right."
Ship strikes are the single largest cause of death for right whales. During 2006, five whales were killed or injured by ship strikes or entanglements in an endangered population. Low flying aircraft are also a source of harassment to right whale mothers and calves which use these shallow, calm waters as a nursing ground each winter.
"The Navy selected the worst possible site for this range. These waters are home to a stunning array of biodiversity, including some of the ocean's most threatened creatures: the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, blue whales, and leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles," said Katie Renshaw, an attorney with Earthjustice. "Before this project goes any further, we need to know how it will affect these animals. That's the law."
The Navy's plans include deployment of non-explosive exercise torpedoes, target submarine simulators, and various forms of active and passive sonar. An assortment of debris will be introduced into the area and left behind as a result of training activities, including 3,000 sonobuoys per year, exercise torpedoes and control wires, parachute assemblages, and ballast.
"It is irresponsible of the Navy to overlook the risk that the construction and operation of this project poses to endangered whales and sea turtles," said Sharon Young, field director of The Humane Society.
Entanglements are another known cause of death for endangered right whales and sea turtles. According to scientists, approximately 10 to 30 percent of the right whale population is entangled each year. Once entangled, animals have trouble eating, breathing or swimming, all of which can have fatal results.
Ingestion of marine debris traveling the ocean's currents and littering beaches is also a known, potentially fatal threat to endangered sea turtles.
According to its own documents, environmental impacts were not part of the Navy's criteria in selecting a site for its warfare training range. Despite the state of Georgia's objection to the proposal and concerns raised by environmental groups and the state of Florida, the Navy rejected numerous recommended measures that could have lessened the environmental impact of its activities. Although the Navy does not plan to use sonar within the critical habitat, it has not proposed any mitigation for sonar likely to travel from the training range into the calving ground during the calving season.
"The Navy's plan to build a sonar training range next to right whale critical habitat without incorporating relevant survey data into its decision is like building a house next to a river without checking to see if it's in the floodplain -- potentially disastrous," said Taryn Kiekow, attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council. "The Navy has fast-tracked the planning process for the range, and in the process disregarded environmental laws designed to prohibit this from happening."
While the Navy states that construction will not take place during the calving season, the Record of Decision does not analyze the impacts of operations on the range to right whales and other endangered species. Before the full project can proceed and operations can begin, the U.S. Navy must receive a letter of authorization from the National Marine Fisheries Service for harassment of these species.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
A new study suggests that taking tea daily could help in lowering blood pressure.
The study shows that people who drank three cups of black tea a day were able to lower their blood pressure. This was seen when compared to those who drank a placebo similar in taste and caffeine content. Those who drank the tea saw a slight drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure over six months.
Experts however warned that drinking tea is not a substitute for blood pressure-lowering medication, but researchers said the findings show tea could still provide a benefit.
Researchers note that although the study cannot identify specific components of the tea that might lead to a drop in blood pressure, past studies have shown flavonoids, compounds found in many plants such as tea, are good for heart health.
"The message really isn't for an individual to go out and drink a lot of tea," said Jonathan Hodgson, the study's lead author and a researcher from the University of Western Australia. He said, instead, the drop is like a bonus. The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, randomly assigned 95 Australians with normal blood pressure to two groups.
One group drank black tea and another drank a beverage similar in taste and caffeine content. Before the study started, the participants' blood pressure throughout the day was about 121/72 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
Blood pressure readings less than 120/80 mm Hg are considered normal. High blood pressure is defined as a reading of 140/90 or above. People with a reading between the two are said to have "pre-hypertension."
Each group drank their assigned beverages three times per day for six months. After the six months the tea drinkers' systolic blood pressure - the top number - fell 2 mm Hg, and their diastolic blood pressure also fell about 2 mm Hg. While a drop in blood pressure is generally good, a 2 mm Hg drop is not significant enough to bring a person with high blood pressure out of the danger zone warn researchers.
"Those are small changes and are nothing like what you would see if you took a blood pressure lowering medication," said Dr. Joseph Vita, who has studied flavonoids at the Boston University School of Medicine and was not involved with the study.

The Walther 1250 Dominator FT utilizes a compressed air repeating system with an 8-shot rotary pellet clip. The bolt-action feeds the airgun pellet directly into the barrel, resulting in precise long-distance shooting with minimal velocity reduction. This air rifle comes with a fiber optic front and rear sight. For even more precision out of this accurate air rifle, mount a scope on the 11mm dovetail.
The 300 bar (4350 psi) air reservoir delivers 100 shots at 40 joules (29.5 ft-lbs). There's a built-in gauge on the end of the reservoir. The Dominator's fiberglass-reinforced synthetic stock has a Monte Carlo design with cheek pieces on both sides for both right- and left-handed shooters. The checkered forearm and pistol grip help ensure an accurate grip and tight groups with this Walther PCP rifle. The FT model comes with a compensator, 4-16x56 Field Target scope, and an quick-mount adjustable bipod. The Dominator FT rifle comes in a foam lined hard shell case.

With the sound suppressor on the gun, it is reasonably quiet. I would say along the lines of popping a small balloon. So I would go with the combo version over the rifle alone. I live in a neighborhood where the houses are within 500 - 1000 feet of each other and I have had no complaints from my b=neighbors about the sound of the rifle when I shoot birds, squirrels or targets.As for the gun itself, it is AWESOME!! Incredibly accurate right out of the box and more so once you dial in the scope. I highly recommend this rifle. Just make sure you get all of the parts necessary to hook it up to a scuba tank to fill it full of air or your will be searching for the stuff instead of shooting the gun!
