Why has the Buddha and the Buddhist teachings become popular in the West? Is it because Buddhism can be practiced with other religions? We explore how Buddhism can be used for self-improvement and enhancing your inner self. A good place to start is with Buddhism Is Not a Religion.
Discovering the True Sources of Happiness and Unhappiness
by B. Alan Wallace. The fact that we do not have a well-developed science of happiness today is really quite bizarre. We have an embryonic start in positive psychology, but why weren't scientists studying happiness from the beginning, when Copernicus was studying the stars? This lack was demonstrated vividly in 1989, when the Dalai Lama...
Taming the Mind and Removing Ignorance
by Khenchen Palden Sherab & Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche. Buddhist masters have said that the mind is like a king and the body and speech are like servants. If the mind accepts something, then the body and speech follow. If the mind is not satisfied, no matter how...
Letting Go: Awakening to Our True Nature
by Anam Thubten. Most of the time whatever we are experiencing is merely a mental habit. Fear is a mental habit, so is hatred, and so is this ongoing sense of dissatisfaction. We are dissatisfied with the way we look, dissatisfied with others, and so forth...
About Relationship: Being the Buddha, Being Love
by Prabhasa Dharma. How to be happy? When speaking of relationships, the safest thing to relate to is always Buddha.

What is Karma And What are the Effects of Karma?
by Daisaku Ikeda.
Each of us creates our own karma. Our past thoughts, speech and behavior have shaped our present reality, and our actions (and thoughts and speech) in the present will in turn affect our future. The Buddhist doctrine of karma is not fatalistic. Karma is...
What Does Buddhism Teach?
by Franz Metcalf.
What does Buddhism teach? Don't worry, I won't give you a history of Buddhism. There are many dull accounts of this history and a few not-so-dull ones. For now, let's get right to the living center of Buddhism: what the Buddha saw, felt, and taught to his disciples.
Daily Zen And The Ordinary Mind
by Katsuki Sekida.
Zen is concerned with the problem of the nature of mind, so it necessarily includes an element of philosophical speculation. However, in Zen we are never separated from our personal practice, which we carry out with our body and mind. Zen aims at overthrowing our distorted view of the world...
Relaxation and Meditation for Beginners
by Thubten Chodron.
Nowadays meditation is sometimes confused with other activities. Meditation is not simply relaxing the body and mind. Nor is it imagining being a successful person with wonderful possessions, good relationships, appreciation from others, and fame. This is merely daydreaming about objects of attachment.
Overcoming Adversities Is The Spiritual Path
by Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche. It's very easy for you to be wholesome and virtuous and spiritual when things are going right. But as soon as a little bit of adversity arises, then the real test begins, especially when you look at how you deal with your family life..

Buddha in Your Mirror: What is Buddhism?
by Woody Hochswender, Greg Martin & Ted Morino.
Buddhism explains the profound truths of life. But it also provides an immensely practical method for overcoming obstacles and transforming oneself. It can be applied to every area of your existence: family, work, relationships, health. And it can be applied by anyone. Each and every human being contains the inherent capacity to be a Buddha
Controlling And Empowering The Mind
by B. Alan Wallace. It is possible for the mind to become disempowered. It feels then as if reality is just a given, and all we can do is try to deal with it. The disempowered mind feels it has no choice about what it attends to. Training the attention is definitely one way to begin empowering the mind.
Finding Peace and Happiness: Aspects of the Buddhist Path
by Ron Leifer, M.D.
Buddhist teachings are often summarized in terms of the "three principle aspects of the path": renunciation, compassion, and the wisdom realizing emptiness. The first step on the path of renunciation is to begin searching for happiness within. Renouncing the world does not mean rejecting the world...
Compassion is a Verb
by Sharon Salzberg.
Compassion is not a thought or a sentimental feeling, but is rather a movement of the heart. Compassion is born out of lovingkindness. But we may get distracted, we forget, we get caught up in something else, or we confuse another feeling for the state of compassion.
What Is A Title: Are you the Buddha?
by Alan Cohen. One of his students asked Buddha, "Are you the messiah?" "No", answered Buddha. "Then are you a teacher?" "No, I am not a teacher." "Then what are you?" "I am awake", Buddha replied. The goal of Buddhism, like any self-respecting spiritual path, is not to have titles or to make distinctions between degrees of holiness; it is to wake up.

Having Insight into The Four Limitless Qualities
by Pema Chödrön. It's up to us. We can spend our lives cultivating our resentments and cravings or we can explore the path of the warrior -- nurturing open-mindedness and courage. Most of us keep strengthening our negative habits and therefore sow the seeds of our own suffering.
Attaining Happiness Through Buddhist Teachings
by Daisaku Ikeda. We all desire happiness, and yet happiness seems to be just beyond our reach. However many 'how to be happy' books might appear, human beings are still largely beset by the same problems as their ancestors. The poor seek wealth, the sick yearn to be healthy, those suffering from domestic strife...

Even before the Vancouver Canucks' NHL playoff run officially ended with a loss Tuesday night, a dejected fan had placed goalie Roberto Luongo up for sale on Craigslist.
"Sulking, belligerent and grossly over-rated goaltender who can't stop a beach ball, seeks new gig," reads a notice posted on the classifieds website at 8:47 p.m. local time.
That was just as Game 6 in the Canucks' second-round series with Chicago wound down, ending in a 5-1 loss.
The "job wanted" ad was posted with the headline "Goalie will play for pasta, hair gel and US$7.5-million," and left no doubt about who this fan blamed for the Canucks' performance Tuesday.
"I promise to be the same self-absorbed bad team guy I have always been. Pay me my $7.5 M annual salary no matter how bad I play," it read.
"You can still reach me on my hotline: Louie 1-555-SUCK."

Collaboration | Feature
Maria Brennan has become pretty proficient at tracking down Everett School District students who are on the verge of dropping out. She's even snagged a few that have already crossed the line and helped them back into positive territory. As graduation success coordinator for Everett School District in Everett, WA, Brennan has used a combination of traditional methods (reaching out directly to the students and their families by phone, for example) and high-tech approaches to help improve graduation rates for the district's four high schools.
"I work on all of the dropouts and the students who are working towards their GEDs," said Brennan, whose current position was created by the district in February and funded through a federal grant designed to help the 2,000 United States high schools that have the highest dropout rates. "My goal is to get all of the students to get diplomas, namely because GEDs just don't hold the same weight."
Brennan's job involves tracking down individual students and convincing them of the value of finishing school and earning a diploma. Sounds simple enough, right? Hardly. Dig a little deeper into her daily tasks, and you find a dedicated staffer who uses all of the tools at her avail to help boost the graduation rates at Cascade High School, Everett High School, Henry M. Jackson High School and Sequoia High School.
Each of the high schools also has an individual "on-time graduation coordinator" for those students still enrolled in school. Through their efforts and other initiatives implemented by the district, the high schools' overall graduation rates improved from 53 percent in 2003 to 90 percent in 2009. Brennan said she was brought on board to help improve those rates even further.
Brennan, who has talked about 80 percent of her contacts into signing up for programs that will successfully lead to a diploma, said she begins by poring over the district's student database, which includes all contact information associated with a specific student identification number. "That is just the first layer," said Brennan, "and I use it to reach out to them via phone." To the calling list, Brennan said she also adds aunts, uncles, and other family members who might be able to connect her to the student in question.
When the phone calls don't pan out, she said, Brennan goes where the average teenager can be found these days: online. Using an alias (in order to avoid "spooking" dropouts who might be embarrassed or afraid to discuss the situation with a member of the school staff), she has set up shop on Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites.
Brennan said she searches through the sites' membership databases by student name and/or nickname. When that doesn't work, she said, she searches on other students' "friends lists" to cross-reference and find a more direct route to the individual students in need of graduation assistance. She said she sends direct messages to the students in question and then reveals her identity and intentions when the recipients write back to her.
"Overall, I'd say maybe two students total have been unreceptive to my Facebook and MySpace contacts," said Brennan. "The rest are very open to the contacts, and many of them love the fact that I reached out to them that way." She said she's had the most success on MySpace, as opposed to Facebook, and has since put more effort into using the former.
Once Brennan creates the connection with the student, she said, she talks to them about why a GED isn't the same as a high school diploma. "I tell them that a GED is good, but it won't get you as far as a diploma will," said Brennan, "and explain that you can't even get into the military with a GED." She said she also highlights the various programs available to students (through the local community college, for example) who want to earn their diplomas.
"I let them know about options that they'd never even heard of," said Brennan, adding that she then reviews and evaluates each student's transcript to see which core classes and electives have been covered and which need to be taken in order to graduate. "We sit down together and develop a timeline and game plan for each student." If the candidate hasn't had much success in the traditional high school classroom setting, she said, Brennan suggests online learning and/or home schooling options.
To create a sense of urgency for the students, Brennan said she reminds them that Everett School District is only responsible for their education until they reach 21 years of age. "After 21, it's going to cost them money," said Brennan, "so I encourage the students to do this while they are under our watch."
Brennan, who reports on her progress every week, said she usually attempts 20 contacts before giving up on a particular student. "If they haven't called me, e-mailed, or messaged after 20, then it's time to move on," said Brennan, adding she sees social networking as an effective, non-intrusive way to create a rapport with the students that she's trying to help.
"Very rarely do they not get back to me when I write to them," said Brennan, whose position expires in August 2010 but is currently being considered for a more permanent status. To other schools looking to use technology as a graduation rate booster, Brennan said, the key is to catch the students (via Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter messaging and correspondence, for example) while they're still in school, rather than waiting until they formally drop out. "Once they're gone," she said, "it's a lot harder to get them back in."

How To Be an Excellent CIA Agent Without Any Classified Information or Formal Training
How is it possible that a group of average citizens doing Google searches in their suburban town homes can outpredict members of the United States intelligence community with access to classified information? How can that be?
The answer comes from 60-something Maryland pharmacist/Googler Elaine Rich, part of the Good Judgment Project. I wonder if she predicted that March would be the first month in over a decade where there were no troop deaths? [NPR]

Satyendranath Dutta
Satyendranath Dutta (also spelt as Satyendranath Datta or Satyendra Nath Dutta) (Bengali: সত্যেন্দ্রনাথ দত্ত) (1882-1922), a Bengali poet, is considered the wizard of rhymes (or ছন্দের যাদুকর - chhonder jadukar in Bengali). Satyendranath Dutta was an expert in many disciplines of intellectual enquiry including medieval Indian history, culture, and mythology. He was the son of Rajaninath Dutta, who was a trader. He was born at Chupi in Bardhaman on February 11, 1882. His grandfather, Akshay Kumar Datta, was a great thinker, Brahmo social reformer and writer who was the guiding spirit of the Tattwabodhini Patrika. After passing the school leaving examination from the Central Collegiate School, he received his graduate level education from the General Assembly's Institution in Kolkata. Although he left (what is now) Scottish Church College without taking a degree, his training there helped him immensely for the future. After unsuccessfully to join the ranks of his father in their family business, he quit that to devote his energies entirely to scholarly pursuits. He composed poems and initially composed poems for the Bengali magazine Bharati. Although his stylistic nuances during this  ( Wikipedia article )

sicktotheheart is sick in the head.
in the downtown area of the small city where I work (if you can really call it a downtown). It's advertising apartments & I'm going to call & check the prices. I like the feel of the area cuz you can walk to shops & restaurants & it might be a cool place to live if you're young & single.
It's not the typical "luxury" apartments they build around here either, with all the stupid "amenities" I would never use anyway. I'd rather pay less money for an apartment & get a separate gym membership wherever I want, get my own small washer/dryer, and visit my parents to go swimming. I think most complexes provide all that crap just so they can inflate the price.
I also don't need to be gated in either….I like that it's a small building on the street & not some crowded community.

A divorce may be granted in Delaware on the grounds that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that reconciliation is improbable.
The holidays will be different than they were when you were all still living together in the same home – not better or worse, just different. Here are a few tips to make the best of your new situation.
If you're going through a divorce, it's always best to pretend that anything you write, tweet, text, or send digitally will one day be read in front of a judge.
Is your mind living in the past, present, or future? The present is the only place you have true power and choice; here are some strategies to get you back into the present moment.
A new study finds that the age difference between spouses is among the factors that can be used to predict risk of divorce.
Military retirement benefits are often the most valuable asset in a military marriage, so it's important for servicemembers and their spouses to understand the implications of these benefits during a divorce.
During your divorce, you may need to raise funds for college, retirement, a new car or vacation, or to help pay for the divorce itself. Jewelry items collected over the course of the marriage are a potential source of income, but how do you go about selling these items for the best price?
A man in Dubai has divorced his wife after she ignored his WhatsApp messages to keep chatting with her friends.
Brookman Solicitors in the UK recently released an interesting Infographic about divorce.
Alcohol and drug use can play a major role in divorce. In the end, self-loathing and the choice to continue drinking rather than working on my marriage eventually led to its demise.

Over 40 Amateur Of The Week: Ectomorphs Can Grow Too!
Name: Andre Demetri Herren
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
BodySpace: ADemetri
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Age: 48 Height: 6'0" Weight: 183 lbs
Years Bodybuilding: 25
My fitness journey started after my amateur basketball career. Basketball was and still is a passion of mine. My dream was to play in the NBA, but my opportunity to make that dream a reality was cute short due to arthritic knees, which lead me down the wrong path.
I started to party all night, sleep all day, and became depressed. I spent several years living this lifestyle. Basketball was my wife and when we divorced nothing else really mattered. One morning, or I should say afternoon after a night of partying, I got out of bed and my body felt like I was an old man. I was 23 years old and felt as if I was 50 years old. That day, I decided to change and get back to being the athlete I was.
I omitted the late-night drinking and early morning eating. I went from fast food to a more well-balanced and healthier diet. I'm an ectomorph, so I've always found it difficult to gain weight. I increased my protein to about two grams per pound and the growth took off. I noticed the change in my physique after about a month and so did my friends and family. The gym became a staple in my life. I discovered that bodybuilding is about improving your body and competing against yourself. My confidence was back.
My workout schedule is Sunday-Saturday. I typically take a day off during the week for rest and recovery. I try to focus on one body part per day to elevate joint soreness and to channel in on isolating one body part. I change my routine every 3-4 weeks or when I notice muscle memory coming into play. My rep range runs from 6-8 reps when going heavy and 10-12 reps for hypertrophy. There are many who argue that there's no need to do high rep sets. The important factor is the effect of glycogen on protein synthesis. It works for me. I utilize a push movement followed by a pull movement. Because of my body type, I don't perform much cardio. When I do, it consists of HIIT, running in place, or jumping jacks for 45-60 seconds between sets. My HIIT training would be sprinting for 100 yards and walking 100 yards for 20-30 minutes.

My fitness journey started after my amateur basketball career at age 23. I was tired and depressed from partying all the time. I woke up one day, decided to change my life, and have been hitting the gym since.
I decided with my cousin to start hitting the iron. We joined a local gym and the quest was on. But it didn't last too long. I called my cousin and asked if he was hitting the gym in the morning and he'd say no so I wouldn't go. This routine went on for awhile. He was my motivation. When he was gone I decided to motivate myself. I read all the fitness magazines I could get my hands on and listened to members at the gym. A lot of trial and error went into my diet and regimen.
I found someone to replace the wife I felt I lost in basketball. My new wife rekindled my fire and love for basketball. Bodybuilding provided the mind, body, and soul connection I needed to be successful in life. Basically, you rely on faith and belief. Bodybuilding helped me have faith that I could accomplish anything,
My grandfather passed away some years later. The family all gathered in his hospital room the day he died. Seeing my grandfather struggle to breathe and fighting to live reinforced my need to live a healthier life. If my grandfather could be strong in his weakest hour, I can be strong every hour of the day.
My future fitness plans are to start my own fitness/sports performance facility and combine my love for fitness and basketball. I'd like to help young people live a healthier life and reach their dreams.
My most important tip is to stay consistent. Be the best you can be; don't try to be like or look like someone else. God created us all unique. Nobody is the same. If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
My motivation comes from within. I'm motivated to be a better person than I was the day before. Bodybuilding allows me to feel a reward every time I leave the gym. Bodybuilding is a stress reliever and allows me take the high I receive from training and use it in all aspects of my life.
My inspiration comes from the love of my life, Melanie Gates. Her constant belief and support makes me want to be a better man. She believes in me when I don't believe in myself.
The hard work my aunts, grandparents, sister, brother, cousins, and parents showed throughout the years continue to drive me. Bodybuilding.com provides inspiration too. My bodybuilding community is a constant remember of what hard work and dedication can do.
My favorite fitness athletes are Kana Sumabat and Obi Obadike.
Bodybuilding.com has been awesome to help me reach my goals. There isn't a day that doesn't go by where I'm not on the site. The information contained there is so valuable in my quest to be more fit. I love the store, which has the best prices in the industry. The forums, transformation stories, insight into the bodybuilding/fitness industry are all motivational pieces. Lastly, my bodybuilding family and my BodySpace friends support and inspire me to train hard with their encouraging words.

Thank you very much! You keep going HAM as well my friend
I'm also an ectomorph so this was encouraging and informative. Also love that quote "If you don't risk anything, you risk everything." Congrats, man!
@Aremke. Thank you very much! Stay focus and consistent my friend
Mateoz, no transformation here other than getting back to the athlete I was when I was playing basketball
Congrats to you on your progress, and sure ectomrphs can grow too its just that they have to work harder as all but then again this is what bodybuilding is all about ---hard work and blood sweat and tears.
The comment you made about your arthritic knees and how you worked around that was an inspiration to me because I was just diagnosed wit degenerative disk disease and I have been lifting since I was 15 and now am 44 and thought my lifting days were over but my doctor says to keep doing what im doing to keep my muscles and connective tissues strong. I told my doctor that I do lots of squats and he told me not to stop doing them and keep good form. I was depressed when i found out i had this condition but im working around it and glad im still lifting. congrats again.
Thanks again man. Sumo squats and Sumo dead lifts work great for those with back problems, knee problems. Stay consistent. Instead of giving myself reasons why i can't I give myself reasons why I can.
Tell those mountains of depression they have no right in you! Be gone! You are a victor not a victim my friend
Great job on this man! I am an ectomorph myself...never thought of doing 2 grams of protein for every pound of body weight to help gain mass. I may try it and see what happens for myself.
Thanks historyfreak. I believe it will work just fine for you!
Yeah historyfreak, Im an ecto too and Ive heard this a few times... "2 grams of protein for every pound of body weight". I think they are on to something so lets give it a go and see if it helps us. :)
Calories in vs calories out. Body types are a myth.
Nice article. Just shy of 50 and you look at least 10 years younger. It proves once again bodybuilding/weight training is a true fountain of youth.
There are a lot of ectomorphs out there and they have the potential to put on serious mass when being consistent and not giving up. for example Lou Ferrigno was an ectomorph before he started bodybuilding weighing just a little over 100 pounds but just look at him now probably still close to 300 pounds.
Hey how are you jones3331? I never thougt of it has being a lot of food! :) The key for me to cook in bulk. So, my meal last anywhere from 3-4 days.
Appreciate it very much!
Great work! How do you eat your eggs in the morning? Scrambled?
Inspirational indeed!!! I've said it before, body types are no excuse. I won't let it be mine!
Thank you mmiltonp! You are correct! No excuse! You'll get there

Who Benefits From The Refresh Of Microsoft Surface?
Chris Lau, Kapitall: Bloomberg reported that Qualcomm (QCOM) and NVIDIA (NVDA) could power the refreshed Microsoft (MSFT) Surface RT tablet. This comes at a time when the future of the RT is uncertain, but it creates upside for the two chip suppliers.
[Read more from Kapitall: Ken Fisher Owns These 7 Undervalued Stocks With Rising Profits - Should You?]
If the Wi-Fi only tablet is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra chip, it gives NVIDIA the opportunity to be the standard for graphics and mobile gaming. The company would earn royalties, and would strengthen its relationship with the developer community. For the 3G/4G RT models, Microsoft may use the Qualcomm Snapdragon processors for the newer Surface models
RT Market Share SmallMicrosoft has less than 1% of the tablet market share, so NVIDIA and Qualcomm may not be big beneficiaries as suppliers. Microsoft recently began giving a free touch or type cover for each Surface RT sale. Still, Microsoft does not appear to be backing down on pushing RT to the market. Risks If Microsoft decides to wind down the Surface RT to focus on the Surface Pro, there are still benefits for NVIDIA and Qualcomm. Microsoft could choose these companies to develop the chips for the more expensive tablet. Even though Apple still dominates the tablet space with 40% of the market, Microsoft recognizes that building its user base will take time. Ultimately, the success of the Windows tablet will depend on developer support. Without software development on the platform, the Surface line will fail. Share Performance [Analyze These Ideas: Access a performance overview for all stocks in the list] Surface Pro Mispriced The Pro version of the tablet could give Microsoft more market share, but the high starting price ( at $899) will deter many buyers. A 128GB Surface Pro tablet costs $999, compared to $929.99 for an Apple iPad. Conclusion The refresh in the RT will be moderately beneficial for the chip suppliers, but it will not act as a strong catalyst for them. Until Microsoft lowers the price of both the Surface RT and Surface Pro, sales will remain weak. Catchy commercials might help sales, but it will hurt profit margins considerably. Competitors will continue to dominate the tablet space because of greater app availability and deeper familiarity by consumers. There is still hope. In the smartphone space, Windows Phone 8 will continue to grow in popularity. Microsoft just needs to offer an affordable tablet solution that complements the mobile experience.

Mokena SD159 expanding 'Rachel's Challenge' anti-bullying program
By Susan DeMar Lafferty firstname.lastname@example.com August 31, 2012 4:44PM
Updated: October 3, 2012 6:13AM
Mokena School District 159 will expand an anti-bullying, character education program into its elementary and intermediate schools, and offer a session for parents.
Rachel's Challenge – a program based on the writings and life of 17-year-old Rachel Scott, who was killed at Columbine High School in 1999 – was introduced in Mokena Junior High School two years ago.
School officials recognized the value of the program early on at the junior high and decided then to expand it to other grades, said Sarah Boldman, social worker at the junior high.
Student assemblies will be held Wednesday at Mokena Elementary School and Mokena Intermediate School, and Thursday at the junior high. A program for parents and community members will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at the junior high.
According to its website, Rachel's Challenge is a series of "student-empowering programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and ally feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion."
Earlier this year, Heidi Herrmann, mother of a Mokena Intermediate School student who has been bullied, launched a Facebook page titled "We want an anti-bullying program in Mokena School District 159." She and other parents addressed the school board on the issue in June, saying existing anti-bullying policies were not working.
At that time, Supt. Steve Stein said the Rachel's Challenge program would be coming to the schools in the fall.
The assemblies are not in response to the parents' request but were booked prior to that board meeting, Boldman said.
"It is important to note that Rachel's Challenge is more than just an anti-bullying program. It is about being better people and having strong character. The challenges are good for all kids," she said.
Also this year, the board made changes to its student handbook to add bullying and cyber-bullying to its list of offenses that could warrant discipline.
"There is still a lot of work to do," Herrmann said. She is hoping to work with the Parent Advisory Board to update the school district's website to make it easier for parents and students to report bullying.

"The attraction of Jerry's World will make people still come in and still get out, " says NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Texas Rangers co-owner Nolan Ryan said, "What we hope is that we have a great game and the weather's good and everybody has a good time."
The ice surely didn't dampen the spirits of the soldiers waiting to meet Gene Simmons at the Aces and Angels party. Celebrities and Athletes alike turned out to support the Vegas style fundraiser. Lisa Endicott, event organizer stated, "What a better time to say this is how we treat our citizens and what we think about our troops and what they've done for us." There was even support from our own Dallas Cowboys. Of course I had to ask the most obvious question.
I asked Dallas Cowboy Sam Hurd, "How are you feeling about the Super Bowl?" Hurd answered, "I'm excited, it's in Dallas. A lot of people are here." Tashard Choice, Dallas Cowboy running back said, "We gotta get back to our ground one and get ourselves back in the playoffs. It's been a tough year. Probably the hardest one I ever had, but you know we'll work on it." For the most part regardless of the ice, people are managing to slide on into see their favorite celebs and support their favorite charities.

This past April's TV Land Awards reunited the cast of the 1975-84 Norman Lear sitcom One Day at a Time. During the reunion, Valerie Bertinelli told me she was campaigning hard for her old co-star Pat Harrington Jr. (a.k.a. Dwayne Schneider) to guest star on her current TV Land sitcom, Hot in Cleveland.

Timing is everything. Which may help explain why, after a nearly three-year delay, BBC America is finally importing the third season (from 2009) of the blistering political satire The Thick of It to its "Ministry of Laughs" weekend franchise (Saturday, midnight/11c) — on the heels of HBO's launch of Veep, which springs from the same demented imagination of dark farceur Armando Iannucci.Thick set the tone of deeply cynical, bitterly vicious, and scaldingly profane high-office shenanigans that Veep is adapting with some success.

Wobbling Kitten has Cerebellar Hypoplasia
Mush needs a home! He was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. The cause could be panleukopenia infection prior to birth, or injury, poisoning, or improper development in the uterus. It can be caused by vaccinating a pregnant mother cat. Once the symptoms are seen, they do not usually get any worse, as the cat ages. The cat learns to compensate, and with some care to help them along, they can live normal, healthy, happy lives. Mush is a rescue in need of a loving home!.
