Daily guidance
Daily Encouragement by Daisaku IkedaThursday, November 26, 2009
Buddhism teaches that being led astray by evil friends, (negative influences) is to be feared more than being killed by a mad elephant. A mad elephant can only destroy our physical body, but evil friends, if we allow ourselves to be influenced by them, will drag us down into a state of hell.
Daily gosho quote
From the Writings of Nichiren DaishoninThursday, November 26, 2009
Even if we should gather all the water of the four great oceans to wet inkstones, burn all the trees and plants to cinders to make ink, collect the hairs of all beasts for writing brushes, employ all the surfaces of the worlds in the ten directions for paper, and, with these, set down expressions of gratitude, how could we possibly repay our debt to the Buddha?",.
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 44The Four Debts of Gratitude Written to Kudo Sakon-no-jo Yoshitaka on January 16, 1262

Death Battle: Captain America Vs RyuFlanders: Our Combatants are set and ready to fight. It's time to end this debate once and for all.Alucard: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!----------Setting: Random Forest, Japan----------http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-bIVu8KITT8It was the middle of the afternoon. A peaceful summer breeze was in the air. Wandering through the seemingly empty area was a man carrying a large sack. He was sporting a damaged white Gi and a long red bandana above his head. The man's name was Ryu. None knew of his early ventures, but he had recently grown a reputation through the tournaments occurring around the world, known as "Street Fighting". As of now, he was heading to a new challenge, trying to once again make his fallen master proud. However, there would be a slight twist to this particular venture."Hey!" Ryu didn't look back, believing the voice was just in his imagination. Being alone in the forest by yourself for several weeks can certainly take its toll
Shitty holidays/Pixel point coms and art tradesHaha okay then. Guess no one wants a design auction from me. Oh well. I'm pretty much calling off xmas around me anyway. There's no way I'll have any money to get people gifts with the way things are already looking on my end. If anyone I know irl gets me anything I'm just not going to open it, and tell them to return it. Given my families track record for gifts that I don't directly ask for, I probably won't want it so much anyway. "WAIT WHAT? IS THAT ALL CHRISTMAS IS TO YOU?!" Actually yes. My family does nothing more than exchange horrible gifts. One year we ate at some place, and they actually wanted to just exchange gifts in the parking lot. I hate this holiday. It's the worst.But whatever I feel like pixeling lately. So I'll take some useless point commissions for pixels.Remember 80 points is still a dollar don't be an idiot and offer me 5 to 10 points. Regardless of how useless points are to me, I'm going to charge somewhere around 300-800 points like a sane human being

Peter English on the changes being made to the MCG
Peter English at the MCG
December 27, 2005
A red-and-white crane joins the light towers as the current guardians of the MCG. Next month, it will disappear as the transformation of the ground from a huge cavern to a humungous one is completed. The extra capacity is only about 10,000, but the spectacular and uniform changes add more than volume to the modern-day coliseum.
When the Great Southern Stand was finished in 1992, it was hard to believe that it could be improved. A decade later, the replacement Ponsford and Olympic stands and members' areas are bigger, better, more comfortable and probably louder. More than 71,000 spectators arrived for day one and there was still breathing space in the upper reaches where telescopes and a love of heights are prerequisites.
Cricket was not the main focus of the A$434 million redevelopment - the second Test is the only game to be played here this season - but it will benefit from the 2006 Commonwealth Games project. Expect a ground record for next summer's Boxing Day Ashes Test when the capacity will be more than 94,000. The current mark sits at 90,800 for the 1960-61 match against Frank Worrell's West Indians.
Forty-five years later, the ground is as unrecognisable as the eight running-track lanes currently buried under the turf that was clattered by the boundaries of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. The tartan surface will reappear after this match and be the focal point for the athletics meet in March.
The demolition began in 2002, and 55% of the ground was rebuilt to produce a gleaming new model. For supporters, the seats are 80% bigger - the corporate ones have cushioning - and the dining rooms are larger while the players benefit from new change-rooms in the Ponsford Stand and practice facilities that include indoor nets. One pitch has even been made to replicate a spin-friendly surface.
A sparkling stadium is not the only thing attracting supporters to the Test, with Cricket Victoria introducing a Ladies' Day that it hopes will match similar sporting occasions such as Melbourne's spring racing carnival. Today was the designated event and Belinda Clark, the greatest female batter in Australian women's cricket who retired after the Ashes loss, was honoured with a motorcade at tea, but the women lining up for the 500 special gift packs before lunch missed Hussey's exciting race towards his century.

WIMBLEDON FEDERER: Oxfam 100K
09/07/2012 by Alan Cole in the UK
In 2003 a tennis fan made a confident bet on Roger Federer achieving seven Wimbledon titles
Now fans of Roger Federer winning a seventh Wimbledon final have extra reason to celebrate...
The result yesterday generated a £100,000 gift to Oxfam via a legacy donation.
Oxfam benefitted from the donation, call it Wimbledon prize-money if you like, due to an unusual legacy donation set up by Oxfam and Roger Federer fan Nicholas Newlife who left his whole estate to Oxfam...
Mr Newlife, who died in 2009, included the outcomes of a series of outstanding bets he had placed in his legacy donation to Oxfam.
Oxfam, the international aid charity has already benefitted from £16,750 from one of Mr Newlife's bets...
This was due to a £250 gamble on Roger Federer to win at least 14 Grand Slam titles before 2020 at odds of 66/1...
A similar flutter on Federer to win Wimbledon seven times before 2020 was made and now that is achieved Oxfam will receive the substantial dividend.
Mr Newlife has now left the winnings to charity. Yesterday, July 9, Oxfam received confirmation of the £100k pay-out following Roger Federer's victory over Andy Murray at the famous Wimbledon tennis club.
Oxfam reports that legacy giving is extremely important to the international aid charity and that the charity receives about 600 legacies a year, about £13 million worth of donations, or about ten per cent of its income.
Sometimes included are rare memorabilia and other unusual items including once previously a letter written by Florence Nightingale.
The news comes as awareness of leaving gifts to charities in wills has been increasing in recent years due to a number of campaigns...
Last year was the first ever international legacy giving day in September with hundreds of charities involved in events raise awareness about the importance to charities when people decide to be generous in their wills.
In the UK a recent Cabinet Office's Giving White Paper recognised the value of donating to charity in will making and wants to encourage the process.
Making a will means you control where your estate goes and there can also be tax benefits via donating sums to charity...
As well as ultimately of course, the satisfaction of helping to make a difference, as in the case of this unusual Roger Federer bet supporting Oxfam, a charity that provides clean water services, schools, food aid and other programmes helping people in developing countries...

This guy's Batman, that guy's up for Batman, someone else is under consideration…you're all probably getting pretty sick of the "Batman 5" rumours by now. Alas, here's another. According to a report on Dark Horizons, Director Chris Nolan – the man with the hard task of selecting a new Caped Crusader – is eyeing UK actor Hugh Dancy. Dancy's credits include "Black Hawk Down", "The Sleeping Dictionary", and "Young Blades". He's only 28, so he'd be a pretty young Batman.

The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Wire Rope workgroup has held three Wire Rope Workshops, the fourth in the series 'Optimum System Design for High Value Subsea Construction Ropes' will be held 18 March 2014 at the Radisson Blu Hotel at Amsterdam Airport.
"Our biannual Wire Rope Workshops are proving extremely relevant and interesting. Over 90 attended the last one in Amsterdam in October which focused on the lubrication of high value subsea construction ropes; others have looked at high value wire rope issues, and at non-destructive testing" explains IMCA's Technical Director, Jane Bugler.
"The March event will embrace the operators' view of current and future system requirements; the system designer's approach for wire rope interaction (storage, routing, winches, sheaves and active heave systems); rope qualification methods for specific systems; fully integrated monitoring systems and interaction with rope system; and multi-fail and parallel winch systems in deep water.
"There are a number of 'hot topics' that will undoubtedly make it onto the Workshop agenda," she adds. These include:
Workshop sessions will allow attendees to get fully involved with the discussion on relevant topics including what is required by the subsea construction industry; the approach taken by the wire rope and system designers; what is being developed to overcome the increasing future requirements; and how the theory can be used or developed further to bring solutions to optimum design for rope life, system size and performance.
Typical attendance at previous events had included representatives from various subsea contractors, wire rope manufacturers, system designers / suppliers, equipment suppliers and academic institutes, all eager to further the discussion within the industry on requirements, opportunities and future development requirements.

I retired from the USAF ten years ago. I have been blessed to be able to earn a living as an instructor. My roles have included performing as an adjunct instructor for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, as a rider coach for the North Carolina motorcycle safety program and as an independent flight instructor. I have the pleasure of helping people learn about things I love.
Years ago I was returning to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan from a deployment and I noticed a sign "Kadena Aero Club." I signed up for a discovery flight and I was immediately hooked. I landed, took my Harley off order and signed up for 30 days of leave. My instructor, and dear friend, Naoya Tamanaha taught me how to fly. He is a brave and patient man who provided an excellent example of how to combine precise professionalism with endless enthusiasm. Flying has allowed me to interact with a multitude of interesting people.
During the last ten years I have logged over six thousand hours and had the pleasure of working with over 200 individuals. Fifty of those folks went on to complete a rating or certificate. Some of them were returning to flight after a long hiatus and others were blank canvass that I was able to mold in the image of my mentors. The saying "we see so far because we stand upon the shoulders of giants" especially applies to aviation. My teachers and mentors each gave me additional tools and insights in both the technical aspects of flight and the art of instruction. My students have inspired me, scared me and, at times, frustrated me.
Inspirational students include Jessica who overcame a physical disability and went on to set world records in the light sport category. When I feel like complaining about my ailments I am shamed into silence. If I had her heart nothing would stop me.
Emmanuel is another student that taught me about life. He started his aviation journey as a young man, too young to drive. He had plans, I remember him telling George how he was going to proceed through the ratings and become an airline pilot. It was my privilege to help him achieve his goals. We had to wait until his birthday on several occasions because he was too young for the FAA rules. He is living his dream. His level of maturity and focus are indeed motivating but how he treated people was even more enlightening. As a young, talented aviator he had every right to be proud and this often leads to arrogance. But he showed humility in his words and deeds. Whether interacting with "air bullies" who seek aggrandizement over their ratings, aircraft or experience or speaking to timid potential students he was respectful and candid.
One of the joys of aviation is the fact that the airplane does not care who you are. Rich or poor, regardless of race, color, sexual orientation or creed it is merely physics and the human machine interface. If you are truly honest there are no excuses only performance or lack of. Either you are humble when you start or the aircraft affords you opportunities to learn humility. The students that scared me include ones that were arrogant and did not recognize their limitations and occasionally ones that surprised me during critical phases of flight or fright.
The students that frustrate me divide into two basic categories ones who fail to achieve because they won't listen and those whom I can not figure out how to present the material. This may be different sides to the same issue. Either I do not know what to say or do that will allow the student to learn the skill or knowledge or I have not presented it in a manner that they think is useful. I am rarely frustrated because a large part of the fun of teaching is to figure out how to present the same material translated for the individual.Some people ask "when are you going to move on to bigger and better things?" I have no plans to move on because it is hard for me to think of too many things that are more fulfilling.
I need to start a series of "inspirational people" so I can talk about George, Sam, Stan, Gene, Betsy, James, John, Tonya, Jay, Hanna, Catherine, Len, Greg, Bob, Grover, Jan, Kory, Harrison, Ashok, Emily, Shelley, Mauricio, Steve, William and many others. What a great time I have had, I look forward to the next ten…(second, minutes, days, weeks, years).

Monday 12 January 1998
For Japan, the art of forgetting is first to remember
Blair's visit is not normal
The list runs through the great build-up of Japanese mercantile strength in the early 20th century. And on, as Japan became a world naval power. In 1938 and 1939, during the count-down to Pearl Harbor, the launchings accelerated, with PT boats, destroyers, battleships. And on. The years 1942-45 are not blanked out; there is no gap in the record. The Second World War took place, there, unmistakably, in the expansion of shipping tonnage.
For Mitsubishi at least the past exists, and proudly. Yet the Japanese are selective in what they remember. The Rape of Nanking, the treatment of Allied prisoners of war, the abuse of Korean women, the complicity of Emperor Hirohito in decisions taken by the military junta ... the kind of things Japanese schoolchildren never read about in their government- approved textbooks, the kind of things Japanese historians do not debate for fear of right-wing boot boys.
Japan's post-war generations have never asked the question, what did you do in the war, daddy, for the simple reason that daddy has effectively denied the war ever took place. Perhaps all those Mitsubishi vessels were intended for cruising in Tokyo Bay.
This amnesia is the reason why, despite all the toasts and positive Foreign Office briefings, Tony Blair's visit to Japan is not and cannot be a normal event.
Economically the weather is fine, give or take the typhoon battering the Nikkei Index. The Prime Minister will return tomorrow with a new Toyota investment in Wales in his pocket; his arguments in Tokyo for financial sector liberalisation were applauded. Yet Blair's visit, like that of the Japanese emperor to Britain later this year, is tainted, discoloured by the Japanese refusal to remember.
The issue is not money for camp survivors. (Japan did make a compensation deal in the fifties but - we might ask - what kind of country is it that won't stump up the measly pounds 14,000 a head still being claimed by the Japanese Labour Camp Survivors' Association?)
The issue is acknowledgement of what took place. In their obliviousness, how can the Japanese ever know themselves as a nation and so in turn become knowable, and trustworthy? The reliability of Japanese technology is neither here nor there. In our relations with Japan the economic and the cultural- historical seem to go in opposing directions. Sushi bars and Sony PlayStations do not come anywhere near lessening the disparity between the enthusiasm with which we buy Japanese cars in such numbers (whether made in Yokohama or Derbyshire) and our lack of interest, suspicion even in Japanese thought, music, and world views.
Is that the result of our ethnocentrism? Not entirely. You do not have to dabble in psychotherapeutic banalities to see that an individual who ignores massive events - crimes - in his or her past is permanently suspect. The same applies to a country: what kind of diplomatic profile can Japan ever have when its wartime record remains suppressed?
All countries have historical skeletons, Britain included. Last year the Queen was in India and great play was made, at least by Hindu nationalists, of her visit to Amritsar, site of a massacre by colonial forces in 1919. Whether the British state owes anyone anything still for events three- quarters of a century ago is debatable; but no one can accuse British society of forgetting or, worse, trying to deny the facts of imperial rule.
There is, some would argue, a litany of British sins still to expiate from prison camps in East Africa to bombing Dresden. But leaving aside the contention that - insofar as these things are measurable - the sum total of British iniquity since the abolition of the slave trade is impressively small, no one is suggesting any line of the history ledger is being deliberately suppressed by British state or society. On the contrary there are still reputations to be made in the media, as in academe, by dishing the dirt in the manner of Count Tolstoy.
The test case for remembrance is Germany where hardly a day goes by without Germans mulling yet again over events and responsibilities during the Nazi period. The real point about the fuss over Daniel Goldhagen's book on German complicity in the Holocaust was that there was a reliable body of domestic German historical scholarship against which his (extravagant) claims could be set.
That is not yet so in Japan. Putting the record straight is not something the Japanese need to do for our but for their own sake. Recent adjustments of United Nations accounts have left the Japanese carrying the heaviest financial burden. That fact, if nothing else, bolsters Japan's strong claim on a seat in the Security Council and with that global recognition of Japan's clout. But what kind of diplomatic profile can a country have which refuses to remember and so cannot begin to ask the rest of the world to forget?

Wal-mart isn't overpricing anything. They may have made a fortune, but their margins are pretty darned thin - they make it up on volume. Many sales deals are actually loss-leaders. IE, they get you in the store and hope that you buy enough other stuff to make up their loss.
By price matching, Wal-mart is hoping to get you in THEIR store rather than the competitors. And if you happen to just need to pickup bread, milk, some sheets, and fill your prescriptions while you're there, then they're ok with losing a bit of money on that one price match.

For more than half a century, Harvey Cedars Marina has hoisted sails and sent adventurers skimming across the waves of the Barnegat and Manahawkin Bays. Today, the business's aquatic experts have traded in the folded-newspaper sailboats of yore for modernized Hobie Wave catamarans and LaserPerformance Sunfish. It also maintains a fleet of standup paddleboards and Hobie kayaks that cruise to islands, where paddlers gaze on osprey and cormorants or cast their lines for fluke and bluefish. In addition to renting vessels and teaching how to maneuver them, the staff runs a shop to equip mariners with their own Hobie cats and kayaks or outfit them with water skis, wakeboards, and inflatable tubes to mail to annoying cousins who live in the desert.
When LBI Surfing's certified instructors hold classes on the Jersey Shore, not only do they provide the necessary boards and wetsuits, but they get all ages and skill levels up and riding in their first session. To do this, the instructors impart surfing fundamentals in a setting customized to the students' ability, touching on balance, safety, and identifying the proper waves. But they go beyond traditional surfing, too. They're also certified in stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) and teach SUP classes alongside yoga classes. This is because they believe that the two sports complement each other, since both rely on core strength, coordination, mindfulness, and a lack of rusty metal hip joints.
Pushing off from from Waterfront Park, paddlers in kayaks and on standup boards from Freeport Kayak Rentals can go exploring in the surrounding bays. Traverse the waterways to Wampum Island, where you can stop to search for shells or practice etching S.O.S. into the sand. Duos can share rowing duties in tandem kayaks, scoping the waterscape for local wildlife such as egrets, gulls, and other shorebirds. Each rental includes lifejackets and paddles, as well as a brief orientation and safety tips for your journey.
A destination for the determined and adventurous, Dosil's encourages all manner of movement with a fitness studio situated above a watersports retail shop. From scuba gear, kayaks, and surfboards to skateboards, longboards, yoga classes, and serenity, Dosil's helps guests to explore their minds, bodies, and backyard pools.
When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, Inc., he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts and blindfold obstacle courses navigated via shouted instructions from a seeing teammate or exceptionally long rounds of trial and error.
Sound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.

Colombia says won't apply U.N. court ruling until rights defended
BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia will not apply a U.N. court ruling shifting some of its resource-rich waters to Nicaragua until the Andean nation is sure that "the rights of Colombians are well defended," President Juan Manuel Santos said on Thursday.
The Hague-based International Court of Justice reduced a large expanse of sea belonging to Colombia last week, drawing the border in favour of Nicaragua while giving a small cluster of disputed islands to Bogota in a binding ruling.
Both countries have warships in the area.
"I'm not going to apply that ruling by the court in The Hague until guaranteeing that the rights of Colombians are well defended," Santos said in a speech. "I am going to set out, morning, noon and night, to ensure that we recover the rights that were violated."
It was not clear if Santos was saying that Colombia would not abide by the ruling at all nor what measures he would seek to fight the decision. Officials at the president's office did not immediately respond to attempts to seek clarification.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has said he expects Colombia to recognize the court's ruling, but experts say Bogota could reject it and seek to negotiate a new border pact.
On Wednesday, Colombia withdrew from a treaty that bound the country to the U.N. court's decisions, but the move does not have retroactive impact.
Nicaragua's economic exclusion zone in the Caribbean was expanded by the ruling, giving it access to potential offshore oil and gas deposits as well as fishing rights.

Tennis: Britain to face African challenge
Monday 10 February 1997
Britain had a bye in the first round and Zimbabwe went through when taking a winning 3-0 lead over Ukraine in Harare this weekend. The brothers Byron and Wayne Black gained the winning point by beating Andrei Medvedev and Dimitri Poliakov 6-7, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the doubles.
But the decisive blow came on on Friday when the little known Wayne Black beat the celebrated Medvedev 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in the opening singles. Byron Black then beat Andrei Rybalko 5-7, 6-2, 7-6, 6-3 for a 2-0 lead.
David Lloyd, Britain's non-playing captain, said of the Crystal Palace sell-out: "Everyone knows it will be a tough match. On paper we should be favourites but in the Davis Cup it is never easy to predict. You cannot underestimate anyone, as Wayne Black proved in beating Medvedev. That was a result that no one expected."
If Britain win they will go forward to the World Group qualifying round from September 19 to 21. Victory then would put Britain back in the World Group of the top 16 nations, a place the country lost when they were relegated in 1992.
Arnaud Boetsch salvaged some pride for the beaten Davis Cup holders, France, by defeating Patrick Rafter to prevent a whitewash by Australia in their World Group first-round tie in Sydney yesterday. Boetsch beat Rafter 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 in the final singles match after Australia had wrapped up the tie by taking an unassailable 3-0 lead by winning the doubles on Saturday.
Sandon Stolle gave Australia the chance of a 5-0 victory when he defeated the French No 1, Cedric Pioline, 7-6, 6-4 in the first of the reverse singles.
Boetsch's win over Rafter came as small consolation for France, who only nine weeks ago had won a dramatic 3-2 Davis Cup final against Sweden in Malmo.
South Africa lined up a probable second-round tie away to former champions Sweden in April after victory over Russia in their match in Durban yesterday. The South African pair of Ellis Ferreira and Grant Stafford outclassed Andrei Olhovskiy and Andrei Cherkasov 6-2, 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 in the doubles to give the home side a winning 3-0 lead.
Carlos Moya sealed Germany's exit in Mallorca yesterday when he overpowered Hendrik Dreekman 6-4, 6-4, 7-5. Spain eventually won the tie 4-1.

A COUNTERFEIT bill used at South Tweed Tavern has left licensee Brad Heffernan baffled at how real it looked.
On Wednesday the $50 bill was reported to police after Mr Heffernan discovered the counterfeit note when counting the nightly takings.
"I've come across it and just gone Jesus," he said.
"It's a good one."
The business man picked up on the dodgy bill after noticing it was slightly decoloured and had a waxy feel.
"We didn't get the guy," he said.
Mr Heffernan, who has been at the Tweed establishment for four years, said he had never come across a counterfeit note this side of the border.
Acting Inspector Saul Wiseman said six counterfeit notes had been reported to Tweed/Byron LAC in the past six months.
"Counterfeit notes come up every now and then" he said.
All of the bills reported were $50 notes and they were all passed on to the Australian Federal Police.
There were two reports of counterfeit $50 bills in November alone.

Quirky News
Poorly parrot was lovesick
A Belfast man whose parrot could not stop throwing up has found out why - the bird was in love with him.
The man, named only as David, was so worrried about Harry the African Grey that he took him to see local vet Dan Flynn.
He told him that Harry, who was otherwise bright-eyed and shiny-feathered, vomited whenever he went near him, reports the BBC.
Mr Flynn quickly realised that Harry was not a sick parrot - he was a lovesick one.
"Birds regurgitate as a sign of affection," he explained. "It is quite well documented. Regurgitation and vomiting is a normal procedure for a bird.
"The father will regurgitate for its young when they are little chicks.
"We suggested getting a partner for Harry to distract his attention from David."
And it worked. Harry has found a new feathered friend and David rejoices in the luxury of clean shirts.
