Movie Review By Moira Macdonald
Coming just a scant 10 days after "Vanity Fair," Stephen Fry's entertaining "Bright Young Things" seems to have provided employment for that tiny handful of top-drawer British actors who weren't cast in the first film. (Both films, however, have the very good sense to employ Jim Broadbent, impeccable here as a character known as The Drunken Major.) Based on the novel "Vile Bodies" by Evelyn Waugh, Fry's film is so crowded with faces, both familiar and fresh, that it sometimes feels more like a collection of scenes than a movie. But the often-dizzying mayhem he depicts feels true to the mood of the book, even if its occasional scenes of romance though charming do not. Waugh's novel, written in the late '20s but set in an imagined '30s, is as brittle and delicious as an ice chip. His characters, primarily a group of young Londoners chasing each other around the party circuit, speak in flip, chic little sentences that sparkle on the page, unaccompanied by adjectives or really any indication of what these people are actually feeling. It's up to Fry (who adapted the novel as well as directed) and to the actors to fill in those blanks and they do, to overflowing.
At the center of the film's whirl is Adam (Stephen Campbell Moore), a young writer desperate to sell his book so he can marry Nina (Emily Mortimer), a merry socialite who keeps her heart guarded, most of the time. When Adam calls to tell her he can't marry her because he has no money, she keeps her voice light, saying only "Adam, you are a bit of a bore." Hanging up the phone, Mortimer plays the moment perfectly: she blinks, looks around quickly as if lost, softens her expression (will she cry?) and then tightens it up again the party girl, soldiering on. As the drumbeats of wild music (the film begins, irresistibly, with a montage of red-tinged party scenes set to Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing") begin to change to those of war, the fortunes of Adam and his friends change as well. None is sadder than Agatha (wonderful Fenella Woolgar), the most reckless and eccentric of the party set she's got an always-game smile that never fades, until it becomes tragic. "Let's have a party," she says from her bed at an institution, in a brave but now tiny voice. "There's a gramophone under my bed." "Bright Young Things" is so full of riches, the movie occasionally gets lost in the details, as a parade of fine cameos marches by: Richard E. Grant, Simon Callow, Stockard Channing, Harriet Walter, Imelda Staunton, Sir John Mills and Peter O'Toole (as Nina's slightly mad father). But Fry, in his directing debut, shows an eye for style, a fine literary intelligence and an unmistakable heart. Late in the film, a recording of "The Party's Over" plays on a gramophone, while a flickering candle stuck to the record's center rotates wildly. Waugh ended things on a battlefield; Fry in a warmly lit room, furnished with love and hope. The novelist might harrumph, but audiences may well sigh with pleasure. The party's over, but life goes on. Moira Macdonald: 206-464-2725 or firstname.lastname@example.com Copyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company

It was always going to be the Yankees, wasn't it? The Yankees or the Dodgers were the only two real choices.
There were just too many things working in favor of the richest teams in baseball when it came down to a bidding war for a pitcher like Masahiro Tanaka. It is less of an indictment of the sport than a perfect storm that only the biggest supertankers could navigate.
25-year old pitchers simply don't become free agents. A 25-year old with electric stuff hits the market just as the bidding process for such a player changes, bringing down the upfront costs and allowing pure payroll spending power to be the determining factor. A scenario tailor-made for the New York Yankees, who didn't flinch when it came time to get the deal done.
BREAKING: Tanaka to #Yankees, seven years, $155M, opt-out after fourth year.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 22, 2014
The Yankees have the money, the Yankees have the need, and now the Yankees have Masahiro Tanaka. Two years of carefully tiptoeing under the $189 million luxury tax threshold, the Yankees blew through that number with gusto. Not because they wanted to, because they needed to. Too many opportunities to improve their team with straight cash. Too much strength up the middle out there on the open market. Too much time pinching pennies and not enough time swaggering around as only the Yankees can.
The Yankees signed a number two starter, a frontline catcher, and a very good center fielder this winter for the low, low price of a $438 million. Muscles? Flexed. Big Bad Yankees? Back. Which is just fine by me. Baseball needs its villain and the Dodgers never really seemed up to the task. Welcome back, you bastards.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] IVORY COAST - Ouattara says Cote d'Ivoire legislative vote transparent, inclusive

ABIDJAN, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Cote d'Ivoire President Alassane Ouattara on
Sunday declared the ongoing legislative election as "totally transparent
and inclusive," despite the absence of the party of ex-president Laurent
"The elections are transparent and inclusive because we have more than
1,000 candidates for 255 seats," Ouattara said after casting the ballot
accompanied by his wife at a school in the district of Cocody in the
economic capital Abidjan.
According to the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI), 1,160 candidates
from different parties are competing for the 255 seats in parliament which
runs from 2011 to 2016.
The legislative vote is being boycotted by Gbagbo's FPI party, which
announced the withdrawal from the process of national reconciliation after
he was airlifted to The Hague recently for war crime trials.
In Abidjan, the vote was delayed as necessary materials were not in place
at some polling stations before the scheduled opening of the operation.
The vote was scheduled to open at 7:00 a.m. (0700 GMT) and close at 5:00
p.m. (1700 GMT). The results are expected within a week.
In the district of Yopougon, the stronghold of the FPI, many polling
stations were not ready one hour before the beginning of the vote.
"We are waiting for the general commissar for the delay of the
operations," said one of the local election officials.
"There is a problem of bulletin of vote at the level of the CEI (electoral
commission), so we are going to begin a little bit late, " said the chief
of the polling station at the Sicogi 5 school.
At Koumassi, a community in the south of Abidjan, the polling stations
were opened 30 minutes behind schedule, an election official told Xinhua
on phone.
Around 5.7 million voters have been registered out of the country's 20
million or so population to cast ballots in the election.
The FPI is calling on its members to stay at home.
The party threatened a boycott after Gbagbo was transferred to the
International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Nov. 30, only days
before the election campaigns were kicked off on Dec. 3.
At least five people were reportedly killed in the week-long campaigns
including a bomb attack on Wednesday in the southwestern town of Grand
Lahou, killing three people at a pro-Ouattara rally.
Gbagbo and his wife were arrested and placed under house arrest on April
11 after a two-week bloody war in Abidjan at the end of political impasse
following the presidential run-off in November 2010.
The ICC was authorized to investigate the eventual war crimes and crimes
against humanity committed during these confrontations which left at least
3,000 people dead.
Cote d'Ivoire has been trying to restore peace and stability after the
post-election violence and a long-standing division between the
pro-Ouattara north and the pro-Gbagbo south from September 2002 and April
To ensure the success of the ongoing election, Cote d'Ivoire has deployed
25,000 security forces, with the backing of 7,000 UN peacekeepers in the
The process is also being monitored by more than 3,000 observers,
including 150 from abroad.
They consider the legislative election as another event to mark the
country's return to normal.
"The whole world is watching us. We should make the vote a success to
definitivement halt the negative digression of the violence which was open
during the presidential elections," said Ange Djeni, the president of the
Young Pan-African Democrat (JPAD).

Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole Mr. O'Toole: At an earlier stage when the Bill came before the House I registered some serious objections to it. I do not propose to object to it today as that is not my function but I do want to say it is an extraordinarily bad way of doing business. The legislation which has created the need for this change to take place, through this Bill today, was expensive; similar legislation in the UK has been changed. It is only right that what is being sought by means of this Bill today should be conceded. It would be unfair to the family to do otherwise. It is the function of Government to tidy up legislation which causes this kind of problem. This is a revisionist chamber and I would ask the Government to introduce legislation, as soon as possible, to ensure that this never becomes necessary agian. An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach: I should say that the joint committee discussed this matter on a number of occasions and agreed to it. Unfortunately, the Standing Orders of this House indicate that this is the way Private Business be carried out.

Update: This treadmill has been discontinued. |
The Weslo Cadence 450 CS treadmill has very little competition when it comes to price.
It is the lowest priced treadmill in the market that comes with a power incline feature.
Weslo's 450 CS treadmill is perfect for those on a limited budget. If you're looking for a treadmill to be used for walking a few times a week, then this model is definitely worth your time.
However, its durability and quality is questionable. It is made from cheap materials, which is the reason why it only comes with a short 90 day warranty. So I don't recommend running on it. Just use it to walk or from time to time, jog.
The Weslo Cadence 450 CS treadmill comes with a 2.0 HP motor which is quite powerful considering it is a budget treadmill. This motor is strong enough to give you a speed of up to 10mph but due to its lack of quality, I don't recommend maximizing this motor's capabilities.
As mentioned above, this is the only machine below $300 to offer an incline feature. It has a power incline of 3% to 10% which allows you to have a more intense workout.
The Step-by-Step™ Feedback Console lets you easily keep track of your workouts. This 3-window LED console displays your speed, time, pulse, distance covered and calories burned.
The EasyPulse™ Heart Rate Sensor enables you to workout in your target heart rate zone. You simply press your thumb to the sensor and it gives you a quick reading of your heart rate.
The Weslo Cadence 450 CS treadmill is also built with Comfort Cell™ cushioning. This lessens the risk of joint, ankle and knee injuries by cushioning harmful impacts.
The 45"L x 16"W treadbelt comes with non-slip tread to prevent slipping or sliding. Giving you a better grip for a smoother, more comfortable run.
The Space Saver® Technology allows you to fold-up the treadmill after use so it doesn't take up so much space. This feature is perfect for those with limited areas at home.
Every problem this treadmill has can be associated to one thing, its lack of quality. But the reason people buy this treadmill is not because of its quality, but its price, and for a price like this, it would be hard to get all the features it boasts.
I do admit that it would be hard to find a machine with comparable features for just $300. However, I wouldn't recommend the Weslo Cadence 450 CS treadmill unless you only have $300 to spare on a treadmill. With its quality issues, this machine is a headache waiting to happen.
As far as low priced treadmills are concerned, I believe that there are other entry level treadmills out there that would give you way better value for a little more money. Please visit our best buy treadmills page.

Electionista Blog - 2012 Presidential Election
President Obama on the Equal Futures App Challenge!
Inside the 2013 Presidential Inauguration
In 2009, I watched Barack Obama be sworn into the presidency from an outdated TV in my 12th grade English class. Four years later, I had the opportunity to experience the history of an inauguration firsthand as a college student in DC!
My friends and I woke up at 9 amwhich is crazy early in our worldand piled on layers and layers, hoping not to freeze on the DC streets. With the inauguration officially starting at 11:30, we figured we had plenty of time to walk from our apartment building to the Capitol. But as we ranseriously, we hustledthrough the packed streets, we had a feeling we might just be the three George Washington students who waited four years and, of course, missed the big day!
Keep reading to find out about the amazing performances Jamie witnessed at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration!"
How Women Won the 2012 General Election
"I don't believe in the Republican party or the Democratic party. I just believe in parties."
Who could forget such an infamous quote as it was uttered by Samantha Jones in the third season of HBO's Sex and the City? I remember feeling shocked that Samantha-in my mind, someone who embodied the total idea that a woman should be anything that she wants to be, regardless of how society feels about it-would make a statement that held such a negative underlying message about the ability of women to make a difference in politics. In my mind, Samantha's statement indicated that not only did caring about politics make a women uncool', but that it was something that should be left to the white males in the room to discuss.
Keep reading to find out how women were the real victors in yesterday's election, and how you can continue to make a difference.
Watch Our Electionistas on Anderson Live!
Our amazing Electionistas have been blogging about the issues facing young women in America throughout the entire election season as they volunteered their time and energy for organizations on both sides of the political spectrum. Now that Obama has been re-elected as President, their focus remains on the issues at hand, and spreading awareness about what they believe needs to be done in the next four years to see positive changes in our country! This morning, Chelsi and Mackenzie appeared on a special web exclusive of "Anderson Live" that featured young Americans expressing their thoughts on the outcome of the election, and their hopes for the future. Check it out!
Voting, Last-Minute Phone Calls, and More Election Day Excitement!
Election Day started off for me doing the most important thing I'd do all day-voting! Though I had to wait a while in the line that was out the door at my polling place, it was a nice time to be surrounded by other Americans exercising their right to vote and a moment to catch my breath during what was sure to be a busy day. I also reflected on the past two months during which, as Chair of the DC Young Republicans, I'd joined other volunteers to travel from DC to critical states each weekend to help get out the vote by knocking on doors and calling houses to speak to potential voters. Those weekends helped me understand what voters in different parts of the country were concerned about, and really made me feel like I was truly a part of a political campaign!
Find Out Where to Vote!
Chanel Iman: Why I'm Voting for Obama Tomorrow
Chanel Iman, a model and one of the Victoria's Secret Angels, is voting for her first time tomorrow! Find out why Barack Obama is her Election 2012 choice for President.
I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm so excited I can finally vote!
This November will be the first time I'm old enough to vote in a presidential electionI was so bummed when I couldn't in 2008. I had just missed the election when I turned 18 in December four years ago, but I certainly know who I would have voted for: Barack Obama. Over the past four years, the President has proven time and again that I would have made the right choice. I know too that he'll continue to fight for our generation, which is exactly why I'll be voting for him this year.
On issue after issue, President Obama gets it. From expanding access to affordable, quality health care, to protecting women's personal medical decisions and standing up for Planned Parenthood, to making key investments in education, to leveling the playing field so that women can fight for equal pay for equal work, to making known his support for marriage equality, he is fighting for all of us, not just some.
Why I'm Voting For Romney Tomorrow
Tomorrow is Election Day! Can you believe its here already? Well, after many months of thirty-second sound bites, rallies across the nation and thousands of articles on each candidateits time that each of you make your choice!
As a young woman in law school and with so many dreams left to fulfill, I made my choice for president many months ago.
However, you may still be wondering, Why should you vote? I dont believe all the same things as either candidate! I completely understand that feeling! As a voter, I learned that no candidate is perfect because they are a person just like me, with their own values and priorities. However, I refuse to let a few differences keep me from my American duty to vote for someone I believe would represent me best!
Keep reading to find out why Chelsi supports Romney, and how she feels President Obama hasn't lived up to his promises the past four years.
Donning the Gap and Gown: How the Pay Gap Impacts Millennial Women
If you had an extra $7,622, what would you buy?
For most of us, fantasizing about ways wed cash in some extra spending money comes without a second thought. A self-proclaimed caffeine and shoe addict, a spare $7,622 could buy me 1,801 cappuccinos, or 38 pairs of my favorite Kate Spade flatsor perhaps even a healthy mix of the two? This is my fantasy cash to spend, after all.
For women college graduates in the first year after graduation, however, that hypothetical $7,622 is more than just a fantasyits a sad reality. According to new research released at the end of October by the American Association of University Women, women one year out of college working full time earn, on average, just 82 percent of what their male peers earned, leaving them $7,622 short at the end of the year in 2009, the most recent year for which data is available.
Keep reading to find out how this pay gap affects all working women, not just recent college graduates, and what the presidential candidates could do to solve the problem.
Debate Recap: Romney Speaks Out To Support Women and Students
Last night during the second of three presidential debates, President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Governor Mitt Romney, answered 'townhall' questions that touched on a variety of domestic and foreign policy issues. While there were many importantquestions, I wanted to highlight two I felt really stuck out for young women like myself.
The debate kicked off with a question from Jeremy, a 20-year-old college student. He is investing so much in his education right now, but how can he be confident he will be able to support himself upon graduation? Looking at the most recent jobs report from September 2012, 1 out of every 8 individuals aged 20-24 are unemployed.
Click through to see how Romney would create job opportunities, and what he wants to do about the pay gap between men and women.

Indie artists and corporate giants go together like, well, mustard and strawberry jam, but lately they've been finding common ground in company-sponsored music releases. Clever marketing or sloppy sellout? You decide.
Known For Luxe Italian clothing; handbags that cost more than a used car.
Musical Goods Mother Inc.'s droll electro musings, courtesy of New York social heavies Yvonne Force Villareal and Sandra Hamburg.
Sponsor Shout-out? ''I know I'm divine head to toe in Fendi/Silk lingerie, I feel so hot.''
The Hookup ''Fendi's sensibility works with what we're trying to do sophisticated but lighthearted,'' says Hamburg.
Known For Curing minor aches and pains; invalidating ''Not tonight, dear. . .''
Musical Goods The Tylenol-issued EP, Songs of Hurt and Healing, features eccentric indie-folk outfits White Magic and American Analog Set.
Sponsor Shout-out? ''And now that you want to know/Why it hurts worse than when it first hurt/'Cause it never lets you go'' (from Am An Set's ''Immaculate Heart''). Sounds like a migraine to us!
The Hookup ''They called me in the middle of recording 'Play Hurt,' asking for songs about hurting and pain,'' says Set frontman Andrew Kenny. ''The timing seemed too perfect.''
Known For Midpriced coupes for Gen-Y; kooky lozenge design.
Musical Goods A 30-track hip-hop sampler mixed by Peanut Butter Wolf and DJ Jazzy Jeff and an EP by the daKAH Hip-Hop Orchestra.
Sponsor Shout-out? Yes, it seems just not for Scion. Pete Rock and Pharoahe Monch's ''Just Do It'' would make Nike very happy.
The Hookup ''If we don't support a talented 70-member hip-hop orchestra, who will?'' quips Scion's Jeri Yoshizu.

Actor Priyal Gor, who'll be seen playing the lead in " Dekha Ek Khwab", tells us that the expectations from the show are high as it will be replacing "Kaun Banega Crorepati", which means the pressure to perform well is getting intense by the day.
"Agar "KBC" ko yeh show replace kar raha hai toh achcha hi hoga, this is what a lot of people have been saying. I mean, I'm a little nervous and have been praying hard to ensure I do justice to my work," she says.
While it is expected that an actress would always want to look like a million bucks, Priyal is content with her de-glam look in the show. "Main khush hoon in kapdon mein," she chuckles and adds, "I don't care what people think of my clothes. I've no complaints. Because my makeup is minimal I can get ready for the shoot in just 20 minutes. Success depends on one's acting skills. Looks could get one an easy entry but acting potential is all that one requires to survive here."
Isn't the show similar to "The Princess Diaries"? "Everybody has been asking me this. Frankly, I haven't even seen the movie," she says. The last time we met Priyal she'd told us how her mom would jot down notes for her as she'd be busy shooting. "My mom still does that. But things have become somewhat easier now," she says. Priyal, who'll be appearing for her board exams next year, tell us the preparation hasn't started yet. "I don't get time to study! Pata nahin kya hoga. I'll begin studying a week before the exams. I hope everything goes well."

First Week of Wii U Sales are Revealed
Nintendo, or rather Reggie Fils-Aime himself, revealed the number attached to Wii U sales during its first week on the market to CNET. So what is the number of Wii U units that Nintendo pushed last week?
According to CNET, the Wii U has moved 400,000 units during its first week at retail. Interesting to note that the Wii, a six year old console, has moved nearly the same amount with a not too shabby 300,000 units.
I expect Nintendo to send out the inevitable press release later this week. Stay tuned for more details.

We are ready to build a tennis court on our property and would like some opinions from anyone who has played on the interlocking modular type court surfaces. There are many makers (sports court, flex court, rhino court, versa court, snap court...) and we were hoping to find out which of these are the best for tennis? They all have slightly different designs so I would expect they might play differently. The reason we are looking into a system like this is because we have extremely expanding clay soil and I don't want to deal with the maintenance of an asphalt hard surface (cracking) as my top surface. If anyone has played on the modular courts, or knows anything about them, I would appreciate any feedback. This court will also be used for basketball, skating, skateboarding, and whatever else my kids can dream up. Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Which brand did you end up buying and how do you like it? I'm putting in a 22'x26' slab in a few weeks for basketball. I have my choices narrowed down as follows: VersaCourt, Ebay stuff from courtTileDiscounters, and used SportCourt SD-IV. I'm trying to keep the price in the $2.5 sq/ft range, so my options are somewhat limited. I've played basketball and volleyball on Sport Court, so I know what to expect. Pretty much anything should work for basketball, but I'm not sure about tennis. |
- Posted by Andrew Dexter(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Aug 9, 08 at 21:01
we bought tile about two years ago from Court Tile Discounters on Ebay and the tile worked perfectly. We started out with a 25' x 25' court but ended up expanding the area about 8 months later. Now the court is 30' x 50' and we couldn't be happier. I haven't played on most of the brands you mentioned but for plastic tile, it's hard to understand how the price could be 50% higher from the other companies. We play basketball, paddle tennis/pickleball, and roller hockey on our court. |

So, there is a lot of rabble rabble about ratlings being boss snipers and non-abhuman friendly players not wanting to have to be a ratling to be a sniper. While the easy solution to this is play a ratling and call it a human, people have brought up good points that "house rule it" is not the point of a beta test. Someone else also made the point of "not all ratlings would be snipers."
In Deathwatch, everyone has a choice of race in the form of chapter. I feel the same system could work here. Make abhumans a template applied to the characters rather than a class choice. Much like some chapters have restricted specializations, so could the abhumans. I get this a bit of a major change but I thick this is a working compromise.

The Kinds of Suffering
And he crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.
All refers to everything which is suffering and difficulty. Suffering by itself is already unpleasant to endure; add difficulty to suffering and the suffering is even greater. Crossed beyond indicates deliverance from suffering and the attainment of happiness; it means liberation. "Why then doesn't the sutra simply say 'liberated', instead of crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty?" you ask. Even if you illuminate the five skandhas and see that they are all empty as Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara did, you still must cultivate. Only then can you cross beyond all suffering and difficulty. To illuminate emptiness and see it is merely to know emptiness; you must still practice. Although you have quickly awakened to the principle, there is still the gradual work of cultivation.
If you know about emptiness but don't cultivate, then emptiness is of no use. If you understand that the principle itself is empty, you should cultivate and cross beyond suffering and difficulty. If you want to cultivate, you yourself must actually do it. It's not just talk- Zen: "Hey! I've become enlightened. I've attained anuttarasamyaksambodhi, the Utmost Right and Perfect Enlightenment." Enlightened? How did you become enlightened? How did you do it? How was your anuttarasamyaksambodhi certified? It's easy to say, but hard to do! Just saying it is a dharma, but by doing it you arrive. If you say it, you must be able to do it. If you know about emptiness, then you should cultivate. Understand true emptiness, then cultivate wonderful existence.
The suffering and difficulty which is crossed beyond is not limited to just one kind of suffering. All kinds are included: the three kinds of suffering, the eight kinds, and all the infinite kinds. The three kinds of suffering are: the suffering of suffering itself; the suffering of decay; the suffering of the activity of the five skandhas. The three sufferings are also called the three kinds of feeling: the feeling of suffering, the feeling of happiness, and the feeling of neither happiness nor suffering. Therefore, the suffering of suffering itself is the feeling of suffering, and the suffering of decay is the feeling of happiness. You shouldn't try to refute this by thinking that happiness is not caught up in suffering, because happiness can go bad. Happiness going bad is the suffering of decay. The suffering of the activity of the five skandhas refers to feelings which are neither happy nor unhappy. That one doesn't hold any interest either.
The first four of the eight kinds of suffering are: the suffering of birth; the suffering of old age; the suffering of sickness; the suffering of death. Who isn't born? At the moment of birth, you suffer. And who can prevent old age? Yet one might say, "A child died before it had a chance to grow old; since it did not get old, it basically didn't have any awareness." However, even though it wasn't old, it still suffered sickness and death, and one could also say that it suffered growing old, for the day it died it was old. If it had not become old, how could it have died? Because it died, one can also say the child changed to become old and endured the suffering of old age, even though its life did not bear fruit.
Who dares to say that sickness is not suffering? Sickness is especially bitter suffering. Even when one who has become enlightened gets sick, he still suffers in the same way. For example, Shakyamuni Buddha suffered from the retribution of the metal spear and the retribution of the horse-feed. Why did he have to undergo those retributions? When Shakyamuni Buddha was a child on the causal ground of a former life, he lived in a place where the populace was starving. One day the starving people pulled a great fish up from the sea to the shore. Before they had a chance to eat it, the child who was to be Shakyamuni Buddha picked up a big stick, approached the fish, and hit it on the head several times. Even after he realized Buddhahood, Shakyamuni Buddha's head often hurt as if it were being pricked with a spear. That was the retribution of the metal spear.
On the causal ground of a former life, Shakyamuni Buddha spoke wrongly to a cultivator of the Way. He said to the cultivator, "Your cultivation is still lacking in sufficient ascetic practices. If you were really cultivating, you would be eating horse-feed." After Shakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood, he was invited to a certain country to dwell in peaceful retreat for the summer, but the king didn't make offerings to him and only gave him and his bhikshus, the Buddhist monks who were his disciples, horse-feed to eat. This was the horse-feed retribution. The karma which you create on the causal ground must be undergone as retribution on the ground which is its fruition.
After the suffering of birth, old age, and sickness comes the suffering of death. Death: nobody welcomes it. Why? Probably because it is suffering.
The second four of the eight kinds of suffering are: the suffering of being apart from those you love; the suffering of being together with those you despise; the suffering of not obtaining what you seek; the suffering of the flourishing of the five skandhas.
Because there are all those kinds, the sutra says all suffering. By cultivating, it is possible to avoid the three kinds of suffering, the eight kinds of suffering, and all the infinite kinds of suffering. That is what the sutra means by crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty. I have written a verse about it:
Across the sea of suffering,
one leaves the revolving wheel.
The rains disperse, the heavens clears;
just then the moon is fully bright.
The qian source is the Way-substance,
among people the sage.
His undecaying golden body is rare in the world.
Cast off life;
what need of thousand-year drugs?
Attain extinction;
why wait ten thousand kalpas?
Five dwellings ended,
the two deaths disappear forever.
Roam at will from East to West,
throughout the dharma realm.
Across the sea of suffering, one leaves the revolving wheel. "The sea of suffering" is just all suffering and difficulty. If you wish to cross beyond all suffering and difficulty, you must first be released from the revolving wheel of the six paths of rebirth: gods, asuras, people, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell-dwellers.
The rains disperse, the heavens clear; just then the moon is fully bright. The time of release from the paths of rebirth is likened to the time when the rain stops, the heavens clear, and the full moon is filling the sky with its radiance. The line represents the emptiness of all five skandhas:
The bright moon stands out upon the sky; There are no clouds for ten thousand miles.
That is what you experience as soon as you give birth to genuine wisdom and are enlightened to all. Then you have crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.
The qian source is the Way-substance, among people the sage. When you have been certified as having reached the first stage of Arhatship, it can be said that your body is pure yang. In the I Ching (The Book of Changes), qian , the first hexagram, represents pure yang substance.
His undecaying golden body is rare in the world. When you have been certified as having reached the first stage, that is, when you have cut off the eighty-eight categories of deluded views, your body is flawless gold, very, very rare in the world.
Cast off life; what need of thousand-year drugs? Emperor Shi of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C.) sought the Taoist elixir of immortality, and even sent an expedition to the Isles of the Peng Lai Immortals. Yet you do not need to search for elixirs of immortality. Just cross beyond all suffering and difficulty, and then if you wish to live, you can live, and if you wish to die, you can die. Just as with Bodhidharma, birth and death will be your own, and Yama, the lord of death, won't be able to have anything to do with you.
Attain extinction; why wait ten thousand kalpas? Extinction is the third of the Four Truths of suffering, accumulating, extinction, and the Way. If you can have your extinction certified, you can attain nirvana. Having realized the Way, you don't need ten thousand kalpas but can quickly attain the nirvana without residue (anupadisesanirvana).
Five dwellings ended, the two deaths disappear forever. When you have really crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty, have left the revolving wheel, and have obtained an indestructible vajra body, "the two deaths disappear forever." "Two deaths," you say. "Does that mean that you have to die twice?" No, it refers to the two kinds of birth and death: the birth and death of the delimited segment of the body, and the birth and death of the fluctuations of thoughts. The birth and death of the delimited segment is ended by those who have been certified as having attained Arhatship. To end the birth and death of the fluctuations, Bodhisattvahood must first be attained. Avalokiteshvara has attained Bodhisattvahood, and so the birth and death of the fluctuations is no more. Both deaths have disappeared.
The "five dwellings" refer to the five dwellings in affliction, which are, 1) dwelling in views, which originally was called dwelling in the love of views; 2) dwelling in the love of desire; 3) dwelling in the love of form; 4) dwelling in the love of the formless; 5) dwelling in the love of ignorance.
Those five ways of abiding in love cause attachments which change into five kinds of affliction. Avalokiteshvara makes the five afflictions cease, and from that follows the last line of the verse, to which you should pay a little attention:
Roam at will from East to West, throughout the dharma realm. "Roam" indicates ease, freedom, and being very, very happy. In what way? You can travel wherever you wish. "At will from East to West": you can go to the Western Paradise any time you want, or you can travel to the East, to the crystal world of Akshobhya Buddha. There's even less problem about going to this suffering Saha world right here. You have avoided the troublesome preparation of applying at a consulate for a visa. You just wish to go and then go.
Not just to the east and west, but to the north and south, up and down, to the ten directions all around; the whole dharma realm is included. Wherever you go you are welcome. It's not that you want to travel to someplace, but find yourself unwelcome. Wherever you want to go you can go, and you are never unwelcome. To roam at will from East to West throughout the dharma realm is to be genuinely happy, genuinely carefree, truly at ease, truly free and equal; it is the truly real and equal nature of the dharma realm. When the five dwellings have been ended and when the two deaths disappear forever, this kind of freedom is attained.

Billy Wilder's 1960 Best Picture winner is one of those movie landmarks where you can see America growing up and smelling the coffee. It's a bitter, pungent film – a 'comedy' in name only – about "the takers and the ones who get took". Jack Lemmon is CC Baxter, an insurance clerk at Consolidated Life. His bachelor pad has a revolving door – only he's never in it, and the executives taking advantage of his hospitality are married men who dangle a promotion in front of Baxter just as surely as they promise the good life to the secretaries they bring there. In her career-best role, Shirley MacLaine is Fran Kubelik, the elevator girl who hits rock bottom on Christmas Eve. Razor-sharp writing; dark, high--contrast visuals; and indelible performances… this classic still holds true.
