Some people are bad actors. You'll see them sprinting or climbing an object, which NPCs never do, immediately exposing themselves. Sometimes they'll quickly switch direction, or stop suddenly. But while you're studying the area for your target, other people are looking for you, meaning you have to make sure you're acting like an NPC and not an assassin yourself.
You also have to make sure you're moving around the level in unpredictable patterns, as when your assassin has you in their line of sight, your portrait on their screen will light up. This makes matches with skilled players a nerve-wracking game of cat and mouse.
If your stalker is near you, you'll hear whispering. This is when things get really tense. Either they'll creep up on you and stab you in the back, or you'll be able to detect them before they strike, stun them, and flee. It's also advisable to look up as well as behind you, as a player could be perched on a rooftop tracking you from above.
The tension is unbearable at times, and you'll become incredibly paranoid when the whispering starts. So paranoid that you'll often sink your blade into an innocent as your hunter watches from afar, then they'll swoop in and take you out.
If you've played the multiplayer in Brotherhood or Revelations you'll recognise much of this. But Assassin's Creed 3 comes with some new modes, namely Domination and Wolfpack. Domination is like Battlefield's classic Conquest mode with two teams fighting to take control of points on the map. The twist is, when you're taking the point you become the target (you can be killed, but can only stun), and when you're defending you're the hunter (you can kill, but can be stunned).
Gadgets come into play in this mode, including trip mines, smoke bombs, and the ability to change your appearance briefly. This is where the Erudito Point system might cause problems, as some of the more elaborate tools are only unlocked at higher levels.
Wolfpack is less traditional. It's a co-op mode that sees you and up to four pals working together to take out marked NPCs in a set amount of time. If you coordinate your movements and pull off synchronised kills, you get more points. As well as these new modes, Manhunt, Wanted, and Artifact Assault also make a return, as well as expanded customisation for your characters and profile, and an ever-fashionable persistent XP system.
It's pretty much what you'd expect from a big budget game's multiplayer, but the tense hide-and-seek gameplay is a welcome alternative to running around shooting people. There's also some intriguing lore you can unlock by completing challenges and reaching level milestones.
A gargantuan, lavish historical epic, let down by shoddy mission design. Great, but not the revolution we were hoping for.
- Big, beautifully realised world
- Hours of side missions
- Improved climbing and combat
- Too many scripted missions
- Connor is a bore

Dear all,
I got two cheap drumpads here that are _exactly_ the same, also on the
inside (PCB's have the same revision ID):
But they get recognized differently, one as an USB MIDI device and the
other as an USB HID device. And when it gets recognized as a HID device
it's pretty useless because I can't hook it up easily to software that
accepts MIDI input.This is the "working" drumpad (the one that gets recognized as an USB
MIDI device):
Mar 3 13:09:40 piertje kernel: [ 864.820341] usb 5-2: new full-speed

Missile LauncherSo my questions are, why does this happen? The PCB is extremely simple
and only has one small IC. Is the USB ID determined by this IC? And the
big question, can I trick this non working pad to get recognized as a
valid USB MIDI device? I already looked into this (unbinding, binding,
new_id) but can't get it to work. And I'm 100% sure these pads are
exactly the same.
I could use this: https://code.google.com/p/drumroll/
But I get the idea this is not necessary. drumroll also already consumes
4% CPU on my notebook and I want to use this drumpad with my Raspberry
Pi, besides, it's extra overhead and only runs SUID.
So anybody any idea how I could trick my system in properly recognizing
this non working drumpad? I don't mind hacking kernel modules if that
would be necessary.Thanks in advance,

Brothers Aaron and Asher Gershenzon and friend James Morro grew up in the city, but always possessed a passion for the outdoors. They practiced wilderness kayaking for most of their lives before earning their American Canoe Association certifications on Lake Superior. Each of them brings dual passions for their home city and outdoor sports to the company?s guided group and private kayak trips. Guided paddles change on every outing as guides blend downtown architectural commentary and little-known Al Capone stories with tie-ins to current events. Though each guide tells different stories, often interspersed with humor, all of them focus on environmentally friendliness. Paddling trips utilize a fleet of lime-green Confluence Watersports kayaks, and staffers often wear lime-green shirts?all of which render them easily identifiable from the riverwalk, but well camouflaged in supermarket produce sections.
One guide leads six participants and prepares them with a briefing on paddling techniques, rules of the river, and assurances of the stability of their wide-river kayaks. The guides' watchful eyes and constant advice have instilled confidence in even the most unsure participants, including basketball player Andre Iguodala, who slowly grew accustomed to his kayak by the end of his session. When not guiding trips, staffers provide their single and tandem kayaks to customers who want to explore the river on their own. They extend their easygoing atmosphere to their office?nestled across the river from the Centennial Fountain's Water Arc?where picnic tables stand by the storefront, and the owners' chocolate Labrador frolics inside around a hanging hammock.
The hustle and bustle of the city can't touch the calm waters of Lake Michigan. There, on gently rolling waves surrounded by fresh breezes, Kayak Chicago hosts tours and lessons, and lets paddlers take to the waters on their own with rentals. Captained by Dave Olson, a kayaker for more than 20 years and outdoor educator for more than 10, the company entrusts certified instructors and guides with shaping the strokes of kayaking newbies. Their tours take aquatic explorers out on the lake at night to ooh and ahh over summer fireworks or along the Chicago River to survey the city's renowned architecture and map out their next bank heist. The staff also plants patrons on standup paddleboards for introductory lessons or wave-top rounds of SUPYoga or SUPPilates.
Situated on the Riverwalk of the popular 600 West Chicago building, Wateriders Kayak Tours and Rentals' experienced and knowledgeable guides have been leading relaxed kayak tours down Chicago?s picturesque waterways since 1997. Day and night tours explore the city's most exciting attributes, focusing on history, architecture, and eerie mob chronicles as guides provide paddling instruction and share true tales of Al Capone's mythical collection of tracksuits. Wateriders also rents its kayaks to independent paddlers who prefer to discover Chicago's sights on their own.
Yamaha jet skis speed across Lake Michigan like waterproofed motorcycles. They're departing from the 31st Street Harbor home base of Chicago Water Sport Rentals. The jet skis certainly offer high-velocity thrills, but the most exhilarating moments may come when riders take their hands off the throttle and survey their surroundings. The entire Chicago skyline stretches before them, with unencumbered views of Soldier Field, Buckingham Fountain, Millennium Park, Adler Planetarium, and other landmarks.
But customers don't need motor-power to access these sights. Via Chicago Paddle Rentals they supply stand up paddleboards, flyboards, and kayaks, as well as The Hobie Kayak Spin series, group paddles, paddleboard yoga, and paddleboard fitness classes. The fleet encompasses standard kayaks and specialty models such as the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island, which boasts pedal-based propulsion and magnificent sails. For elevated adventures, the team fires up FlyBoards, which use a water-propulsion system to transform people into superheros who can fly up to 40 feet in the air and dive underwater faster than Aquaman during an awkward pause in conversation.
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.

Traffickers, crossing border, supply weapons to insurgents
Security forces have stepped up search operations against international gunrunners who are supplying sophisticated weapons to insurgents in the northeast.
The traffickers' modus operandi is to supply guns and explosives to their agents somewhere at Moreh, border town of Manipur where thousands of people, mostly tourists and traders, converge everyday.
The guns and explosives are then stashed away in jeeps and cars for being taken to various parts of the northeast.
On Tuesday, personnel of 24 Assam Rifles deployed at Khudengthabi, on a tip-off, arrested five persons, who carrying five M-16 rifles and 750 gram of heroin, had come in a jeep from Moreh and were proceeding towards Churachandpur district adjacent to Mizoram.
The guns were found on dismantling of the jeep.
In another haul on Tuesday, personnel of 14 Assam Rifles and police seized 15 guns including light machine guns and assault rifles, and 34 hand grenades at Champhai in Mizoram.
Two persons have been arrested.
In March, 33 automatic rifles and ammunition were seized in the State.
As insurgents and gunrunners have been crossing the border without much of an obstruction, the Union government is constructing a fence.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senior Treasury officials were made aware in June 2012 that investigators were looking into reports from tea party groups that they were being harassed by the Internal Revenue Service, a Treasury inspector general said Friday, disclosing that Obama administration officials knew there was a probe during the heat of the presidential campaign.
J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, testified alongside ousted IRS head Steven Miller, who did little to subdue Republican outrage during hours of intense congressional questioning. Both defiant and apologetic, Miller acknowledged agency mistakes in targeting tea party groups for special scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status, but he insisted that agents broke no laws and that there was no effort to cover up their actions.
Miller only stoked the criticism of many Republicans, who are confronting the administration on a sudden spate of other controversies, as well, even as some Democrats tried to contain the political damage.

Ousted IRS chief Steven Miller testifies Friday before the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the extra scrutiny the IRS gave conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.
"I don't know that I got any answers from you today," Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., told Miller. "I am more concerned today than I was before."
At one point in the day's hearing, Treasury IG George said he had told the department's general counsel about his investigation on June 4, 2012, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin "shortly thereafter." But, George cautioned, those discussions were "not to inform them of the results of the audit. It was to inform them of the fact that we were conducting the audit."
After the hearing, inspector general spokeswoman Karen Kraushaar said George "informed Department of Treasury officials that we were looking into the IRS' handling of applications for tax-exempt status, partly due to allegations raised by conservative organizations."
Kraushaar said the disclosure was part of a routine briefing about the office's activities.
The Treasury Department issued a statement Friday saying officials first became aware of the actual results of the investigation in March of this year, when they were provided a draft of George's report, a standard practice.
George's disclosure came before the House Ways and Means Committee in the first of several congressional hearings on the matter. He was joined by Miller, who spoke publicly about the controversy for the first time.
Miller was contrite as he apologized for the actions of agents who singled out conservative political groups for additional, often burdensome scrutiny.
"First and foremost, as acting commissioner, I want to apologize on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service for the mistakes that we made and the poor service we provided," he told the committee. "The affected organizations and the American public deserve better."
But the hearing turned prickly when Miller insisted he did not deceive Congress, though he repeatedly failed to reveal the controversy last year when he was asked about it by lawmakers - even after he had been briefed.
"I did not mislead Congress or the American people," Miller said.
"Listening to the nightly news, this appears to be just the latest example of a culture of cover-ups and political intimidation in this administration," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. "It seems like the truth is hidden from the American people just long enough to make it through an election."
Committee Democrats were also critical of the IRS, but several took offense at Camp's assertion that this matter is part of a wider problem within the administration. They said there has been no evidence so far that anyone outside the IRS was involved in targeting conservative groups.

Samādhi (Sanskrit: समाधि) in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and yogic schools is a higher level of concentrated meditation, or dhyāna, which transcends the realms of body, mind and intellect, and where the logical and analytical ability of the being becomes silent. Samadhi, being the ultimate stage of Yoga, symptomatically represents itself as the transcendental state, wherein even consciousness of the yogi might get detached from the body. According to Bhargava Dictionary[1] Samadhi is the exercise of austerity of a Yogi whereby he acquires the power of suspending the connection between the body and soul as long as he likes. In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, it is the eighth and final limb identified in the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali.
In terms of Consciousness, it has been described as a non-dualistic state of consciousness in which the consciousness of the experiencing subject becomes one with the experienced object,[2] and in which the mind becomes still, one-pointed or concentrated[3] while the person remains conscious. In Buddhism, it can also refer to an abiding in which mind becomes very still but does not merge with the object of attention, and is thus able to observe and gain insight into the changing flow of experience.[4]
Samadhi (समाधि samādhi, Hindi pronunciation: [səˈmaːd̪ʱi]) is the state of consciousness induced by complete meditation. The term's etymology involves "sam" (together or integrated), "ā" (towards), and "dhā" (to get, to hold). Thus the result might be seen to be "to acquire integration or wholeness, or truth" (samāpatti). Another possible etymological analysis of "samādhi" is "samā" (even) and "dhi" (intellect), a state of total equilibrium ("samā") of a detached intellect ("dhi"). Also, "Samadhi" can be understood as "sam" (uniformly or fully) and "adhi" (to get established) i.e. a state wherein one establishes himself to the fullest extent in the Supreme consciousness.
In terms of usage, Rhys Davids[5] holds that the first attested usage of the term samādhi in Sanskrit literature was in the Maitri Upanishad.[6]
Samādhi is the main subject of the first part of the Yoga Sūtras called Samādhi-pada. Vyāsa, a major figure in Hinduism and one of the traditional authors of the Mahābharata, says in his commentary on verse 1.1 of the Yoga Sūtras that "yoga is samādhi."[7] This is generally interpreted to mean that samādhi is a state of complete control (samadhana) over the functions and distractions of consciousness.
Samādhi is described in different ways within Hinduism such as the state of being aware of one's existence without thinking, in a state of undifferentiated "beingness" or as an altered state of consciousness that is characterized by bliss (ānanda) and joy (sukha). Nisargadatta Maharaj describes the state in the following manner:
When you say you sit for meditation, the first thing to be done is understand that it is not this body identification that is sitting for meditation, but this knowledge "I am", this consciousness, which is sitting in meditation and is meditating on itself. When this is finally understood, then it becomes easy. When this consciousness, this conscious presence, merges in itself, the state of "Samadhi" ensues. It is the conceptual feeling that I exist that disappears and merges into the beingness itself. So this conscious presence also gets merged into that knowledge, that beingness – that is "Samadhi".
Martijn Truijens described it in these words for the non-Eastern individual: "Samadhi is an Eastern term for the state of equilibrium in the West. Equilibrium is the place behind or beneath the ever fluctuating emotional influences that are temporary of nature and therefor cannot be true. True calmness can be reached through divine surrender to the greater good in daily life, or that which brings spiritual pleasure to the individual. Honesty and love are a prerequisite (for the self is relentlessly perpetuating nonsense) in order to penetrate these layers of unconscious repetitious behaviour, until the sky (or mind) clears and the clouds (or thoughts) dissolve into nothing. It is in this state of nothing that I am.
The initial experience of it is enlightenment and it is the beginning of the process of meditating to attain self-realization (tapas). "There is a difference between the enlightenment of samādhi and self-realization. When a person achieves enlightenment, that person starts doing tapas to realize the self."[clarification needed][9]
According to Patañjali[10] samādhi has three different categories:
Savikalpa Samadhi can be compared to prana shakti ascending upto Brahm Randhra (or Sahasrara Chakra ); a stage of Samadhi when the soul-element pulls all the vital-forces ( i.e. the prana-shakti ) till Brahm-Randhra, also known as 'Sahasradalkamal' or 'Antaraakaash' (inner cosmic space). Here the yogi remains consciously self- aware about Samadhi.
त्वत्समाधिविजयेतूयहपुनरमानक्षुमोक्षरसिकःक्रमेण व|
Meaning, "when the state of Samadhi manifests in those desiring for either sadhyomukti (immediate happiness) or kramamukti (gradual liberation), they elevate their life-force, by disciplining their Prana, and moving up through sushumna , while crossing the six-chakras in subtle body."
Nirvikalpa Samadhi is akin to prana shakti ascending beyond Brahm Randhra and merging into outer cosmic space; a stage of Samadhi when the soul-element along with all the vital-forces (i.e. the prana-shakti )transcends the physical plane of Yogi even beyond Brahm-randhra. This is the state in which absolute death-like stillness might envelop the frame of the Yogi in Samadhi.
Meaning, "when the state of Samadhi manifests in those desiring for either sadhyomukti (immediate happiness) or kramamukti (gradual liberation), they elevate their life-force, by disciplining their Prana, and moving up through sushumna , while crossing the six-chakras in subtle body".
Entering samādhi initially takes great training and willpower, and maintaining it takes even more will. The beginning stages of samādhi (laya and savikalpa samādhi) are only temporary. By "effort" it is not meant that the mind has to work more. Instead, it means work to control the mind and release the self. Note that normal levels of meditation (mostly the lower levels) can be held automatically, as in "being in the state of being" rather than overtly "meditating." This can be compared with the attempts to learn to ride a bicycle as a young child, requiring tremendous efforts at first, followed by natural ease and balance in later years. The ability to obtain positive results from meditation is much more difficult than simply meditating. Before one can reach a more permanent state of equilibrium in the mind, one requires to overcome the inevitable distractions, such as thought and emotions. It is recommended to find a qualified spiritual master (guru or yogi) who can teach a meditator about the workings of the mind. As one self-realized yogi explained, "You can meditate but after some time you will get stuck at some point. That is the time you need a guru. Otherwise, without a Guru, chances are very slim."[16]
Samādhi is the only stable unchanging reality; all else is ever-changing and does not bring everlasting peace or happiness.
Staying in nirvikalpa samādhi is effortless but even from this condition one must eventually return to ego-consciousness. Otherwise this highest level of samādhi leads to nirvāṇa, which means total unity, the logical end of individual identity and also death of the body. However, it is entirely possible to stay in nirvikalpa samādhi and yet be fully functional in this world. This condition is known as sahājā nirvikalpa samādhi or sahājā samādhi. According to Ramana Maharshi, "Remaining in the primal, pure natural state without effort is sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi".[11]
I. K. Taimni, in The Science of Yoga,[17] Taimni's commentary on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, provides a lucid and precise understanding of samadhi. In simple terms, Taimni defines samadhi as "knowing by becoming". Samadhi, as pointed out above, is the eighth arm of Patanjali's Ashtanga (eight limbed) yoga. The last three of the eight limbs are called Antaranga, or Internal yoga, meaning they occur solely in the mind of the yogin. The three limbs are: dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Together, the three are collectively called samyama. Dharana, dhyana and samadhi are sometimes translated as concentration, contemplation, and meditation, respectively. These translations do not shed any light on the nature of dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Dharana, dhyana and samadhi are altered states of consciousness and have no direct counterpart in normal waking experience, according to Taimni's explanation of them.
According to Taimni, dharana, dhyana and samadhi form a graded series:
Samadhi can be compared to normal thought as a laser beam can be compared to normal light. Normal light is diffuse. A laser beam is highly concentrated light. The laser beam contains power that normal light does not. Similarly, samadhi is the mind in its most concentrated state. The mind in samadhi possess power that a normal mind does not. This power is used by the yogin to reveal the essence of the pratyaya. This essence is called the artha of the pratyaya. The release of the artha of the pratyaya is similar to cracking open the shell of a seed to discover the essential elements of the seed, the genetic material, protected by the shell.
Once perfected, samadhi is the main tool used by a yogin to penetrate into the deeper layers of consciousness and seek the center of the yogin's consciousness. Upon finding this center, the final act is using a variant form of samadhi, called dharma mega samadhi, to penetrate the center of consciousness and emerge through this center into Kaivalya. Kaivalya is the term used by Patanjali to designate the state of Absolute consciousness free from all fetters and limitations.
Yogis are said to attain the final liberation or videha mukti after leaving their bodies at the time of death. It is at this time that the soul knows a complete and unbroken union with the divine, and, being free from the limitations of the body, merges effortlessly into the transcendent Self. This final liberation is referred to as mahasamadhi (ultimate samadhi) and is a voluntary and controlled exit from the body by the fully liberated yogi.[18]
Samadhi mandir is also the Hindi name for a temple commemorating the dead (similar to a mausoleum), which may or may not contain the body of the deceased. Samādhi sites are often built in this way to honour people regarded as saints or gurus in Hindu religious traditions, wherein such souls are said to have passed into mahāsamādhi, (or were already in) samādhi at the time of death.
With modern science being skeptical about Samadhi and sometimes finds itself helpless to explain the physical state of a yogi in Samadhi, there is ample information available in the ancient scriptures which has been observed to be true in case of many saints in recent history. The modern Hindu saints/scholars have also written extensively to guide the modern scientific community on the phenomenon of Samadhi.
While talking about the Pranas, Swami Vivekananda says "There are persons who can train themselves in such a manner that the body will live on even when their lungs, the most obvious manifestation of Prana in the human body, have stopped and there are some persons who can bury themselves for days and yet live without breathing".[19] Throwing some more light on this, Swami Sivananda states "When the Kundalini is awakened, it takes the mind and Prana along with it upwards towards Sahasrara Chakra through Sushumna and the Yogi is shut out from the physical consciousness of the world and is practically dead to the world".[20]
Shiv Puran
Shiv Puran, one of the early and ancient Indian scriptures, clearly states that in state of Samadhi, the vital forces and the consciousness recede back from every iota of the Being to get confined in the inner or outer cosmic space where a Being seems to be standstill. It further states that at the time of Samadhi, one neither hears anything, nor smells any odour, nor does he taste or see anything; one is unable to identify any feeling of touch, neither can one determine anything in mind, and nor does he believe in anything. The person becomes stiff like a log of wood. In this manner, when the soul force of the person merges with the Brahm (the super cosmic force), one is said to be in the state of Samadhi.[21]
Hath Yog Pradipika
It states that the one who is in Samadhi, his body transcends the sphere of experiences of smell, taste, touch, speech and consciousness", implying that even the unconsciously regulated vital senses come to a state of hibernation. For a yogi in the state of Samadhi, his inner-self and outer-self nullifies to zero state, thus establishing in Absolute stillness. This zero-state or absolute stillness of Samadhi appears identical to that of a life-less body. The state wherein the life-force declines and the mind rests in it (divine element) - such a unification of the soul and the Supreme is known as Samadhi[22]
Patanjali Yogdarshanam and Mahopanishad
Mahopanishad states that when the state of Samadhi arrives, all thoughts and ambitions come to peace, there is no effort of any form. The way a rock is motionless, likewise the state of yogi comes to rest. The yogi becomes independent of Waking state, Dream state and Deep Sleep state, and gets established in Supreme Self.[23] According to Patanjali Yogdarshanam, where the entire Self or existence appears to be still, it is known as Samadhi.[24]
Flat ECG during Samadhi: A Research on Yogi Satyamurti
A research paper documenting the ECG patterns of Yogi Satyamurti during his week long Samadhi demonstrated a flat line in ECG when the yogi was in state of Samdhi inside the pit. This research paper named - An Unusual Demonstration "The yogic claim of voluntary control over the heart beat - was published in 'A letter to the American Heart Journal – 1973,'[25] and describes the finding in detail.
Yogi Satyamurti, a sparsely built man of about 60 years of age, remained confined to a small underground pit for 8 days. An ECG was continuously monitored during these 8 days and various other laboratory investigations were carried out before and after.
The 12-lead ECG increased progressively, reaching a heart rate of 250 per minute on the second day. At 5:15 pm on the second day, when the yogi had been inside for about 29 hours, a straight line replaced the ECG tracing. There was no electrical disturbance of any sort even at higher amplification and with different leads. There had been no slowing of the heart or signs of ischemia preceding this.
The straight line on the ECG persisted till the eighth morning. Electrical activity returned about half an hour before the pit was scheduled to be opened. After some initial disturbance, a normal configuration appeared. The Yogi had informed beforehand that he would begin to come out of his Samadhi after nearly 7 days. When the pit was opened on the eighth day, ECG repeated in the laboratory subsequently was found again within normal limits.
The researchers conclusively stated that although it was obviously difficult to believe that the Yogi could have completely stopped his heart or decreased its electrical activity below a recordable level, there was still no satisfactory explanation for the ECG tracings
There have been several instances of Samadhi documented in recent history (both biographical as well as autobiographical), in several books written by different saints, who lived in contemporary times or who came later but gathered concrete evidence and then have textually described their findings. Although the list can go endless but below are some specific instances that are distinct in nature and throw some light on the physical aspect of Samadhi.
It is a well-documented fact that Sri Ramakrishana Paramhansa went into Samadhi a number of times in his lifetime. During his trances, Ramakrishna seemed to become unconscious and may sit in a fixed position for a short time, or for hours, and would then slowly return to normal consciousness, with no trace of pulse or heart beat during the trance.[26]
Nirvikalp Samadhi for three days
Sri Totapuri, was waiting outside a room where his disciple Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa was sitting in samadhi. Even though Sri Totapuri awaited call from Ramakrishna to open the door hour after hour, and day after day, but even after 3 days, there was no call. Sri Totapuri was astonished and opened the door to find what was wrong, and found Ramakrishna in the same position where he had left him. There was no manifestation of life in Ramakrishna's body. With utmost care, Sri Totapuri tried to determine if heart was beating or there was slightest trace of respiration. But even after repeated touching of his disciple's corpse like body, there was no sign of life or consciousness. And Sri Totapuri knew that it was undoubtedly a case of Nirvikalpa Samadhi—the culmination of Advaita practice.[27]
Spontaneous samadhi during Durga Puja
In one of the Durga Puja occasions when Sri Ramakrishna stood up to bid goodbye to Mahendralal Sarkar, he fell into deep Samadhi. Dr Sarkar examined him along with another doctor, who was also present there, Dr Sarkar could not find any heart beat on stethoscopic examination, and also reported that corneal reflex was absent. Both the doctors confessed to each other that science was powerless to explain it. However, Ramakrishna returned from Samadhi into normal consciousness after half an hour and narrated his experience of Samadhi to all devotees present there.[28]
Samadhi at a stretch for 6 months
Sometime in 1865, Ramakrishna merged in Nirvikalpa Samadhii for a period of 6 months. During this entire period, not a sign of life could be discerned in his body except at long and rare intervals, and that too of very short duration. A monk who chanced to come to Dakshineshwar temple at that time realized from the serene glow of the face what was going on within the apparently dead physical frame of Ramakrishna. He appeared on the scene just at the right moment, almost like a divine messenger, and set about preserving Ramakrishna's inert body.[29] In his own words, Ramakrishna describes: "For six months at a stretch, I remained in that state from which ordinary men can never return; generally the body falls off, after three weeks, like a sere leaf. I was not conscious of day and night. Flies would enter my mouth and nostrils just as they do to a dead body's, but I did not feel them. My hair became matted with dust." Ramakrishna further says; "There was no chance for the body to survive, and it would have perished, but for the kind ministrations of a monk. He realized the state of my mind and understood that the body must be preserved at any cost, and busily engaged himself in doing so".[30]
While describing Samadhi states of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabu (1485-1533), it is mentioned that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would go into Turyaga Samadhi frequently and used to come out of it easily. Once on the seashore, off the coast of Puri, he entered Turyaga Samadhi and losing consciousness fell into the sea. Many hours later fisherman retrieved Mahaprabhu's body from the sea in their net. There were no outer signs of life in Mahaprabhu's body due to Turyaga Samadhi, but he gradually recovered full consciousness, much to the joy and happiness of his disciples.[31]
Lahiri Mahasaya, who was the Guru of Yukteshwar Giri, would go into state of pulseless Samadhi even while talking to others as evident from the following conversation:
Once, Yogiraj (Lahiri Mahasaya) humorously chatting to his disciple, Dr Chandramohan De, asked him - "who is considered 'dead' in medical science".
Chandramohan replied – "One whose pulse stops."
Yogiraj while extending his hand said- "Examine my pulse and tell whether I'm dead or alive."
After examining his pulse, Chandramohan even checked for his heartbeat. On finding both missing, his face went pale. He said to Lahiri Mahashaya, "This is a miracle!"
"So write me a death certificate!" demanded Lahiri Mahashaya.
"I've no objections in writing it; but you are speaking to me sitting alive!", said Chandramohan and started laughing.[32]
The inadequate knowledge, lack of conceptual understanding and hearsay about the state of Samadhi has led numerous myths about the subject.
This preconceived notion regarding Samadhi being attained in a particular physical posture is easily dispelled with recorded references of Sri Ramakrishna entering the state of Samadhi while standing up while bidding goodbye to one of his doctor friend who subsequently examined him & confirmed the absence of any heart beat on stethoscopic examination, and also reported that corneal reflex was absent.[33] Also, there are other reported cases in history of yogis practicing Samadhi even while lying down. The detail & references for such instances can be found in the subsequent text.
In his book, Yogananda Paramhansa described an incident of 1950s, where Bhukailash princess of Kidderpore (near Calcutta) ordered a pond to be dug in their property at Sundarban Forest in Bengal. During the digging, bodies of seven men were unearthed which geologists testified to be about 200 years old. The perfectly preserved bodies were in prolonged state of samadhi, exhibiting no outward signs of life. Subsequently, the princess ordered hot pokers to be driven into the flesh of these inanimate sadhus, which forced the saints to return to outward consciousness.[34]
In a similar incidence, Sadhu Haridas in 1837 was once covered up in cloth and placed inside a sealed wooden case which was buried under earth in a specially constructed brick vault in presence of Maharaja of the Punjab, Ranjit Singh, at Lahore, India (now in Pakistan) and a number of French & British doctors for 40 days. Upon being disinterred his apparently lifeless body was washed with hot water, massaged, and ghee placed on his eyelids and tongue; post which he recovered.[35][36]
These incidences make it abundantly clear that one cannot measure Samadhi as a time-bound state.
Samādhi, or concentration of the mind, is the 3rd division of the eightfold path of the Buddha's threefold training: wisdom (pañña), conduct (sīla), Samādhi (Buddhism) (samādhi) - within which it is developed by samatha meditation. Some Buddhist schools teach of 40 different object meditations, according to the Visuddhimagga, a medieval commentarial text. These objects include meditations on the breath (anapanasati), loving kindness (metta) and various colours, earth, fire, etc. (kasiṇa).
Important components of Buddhist meditation, frequently discussed by the Buddha, are the successively higher meditative states known as the four jhānas which in the language of the eight-fold path, are "right concentration". Right concentration has also been characterised in the Maha-cattarisaka Sutta as concentration arising due to the previous seven steps of the noble eightfold path.[37]
Four developments of samādhi are mentioned in the Pāli Canon:
Post-canonical Pali literature identifies three different types of samādhi:
Not all types of samādhi are recommended either. Those which focus and multiply the five hindrances are not suitable for development.[39]
The Buddhist suttas also mention that samādhi practitioners may develop supernormal powers (abhijñā, also see siddhis) and list several that the Buddha developed, but warn that these should not be allowed to distract the practitioner from the larger goal of complete freedom from suffering.
The bliss of samādhi is not the goal of Buddhism; but it remains an important tool in reaching the goal of enlightenment. Later Buddhist schools would eventually teach entirely different meditation methods for cultivating Samatha - the quality of tranquility - than for developing vipassana - the quality of insight. However, the earliest Buddhist Canons make it clear that these two qualities are developed by the same practice, namely Jhāna via the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.[40]
In Sikhism the word is used to refer to an action that one uses to remember and fix one's mind and soul on Waheguru.
The Sri Guru Granth Sahib informs "Remember in meditation the Almighty Lord, every moment and every instant; meditate on God in the celestial peace of Samadhi." (p 508)[clarification needed]. So to meditate and remember the Almighty at all times in one's mind takes the person into a state of Samadhi. Also "I am attached to God in celestial Samadhi." (p 865)[clarification needed] tells us that by carrying out the correct practices, the mind reaches a higher plane of awareness or Samadhi. The Sikh Scriptures advises the Sikh to keep the mind aware and the consciousness focused on the Lord at all times thus: "The most worthy Samadhi is to keep the consciousness stable and focused on Him." (p 932)[clarification needed]
The term Samadhi refers to a state of mind rather than a physical position of the body. Although, it has to be said that you can sit in meditation and also be in a state of Samadhi. The Scriptures explain: "I am absorbed in celestial Samadhi, lovingly attached to the Lord forever. I live by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord" (p 1232)[clarification needed] and also "Night and day, they ravish and enjoy the Lord within their hearts; they are intuitively absorbed in Samadhi. ||2||" (p 1259)[clarification needed]. Further, the Sikh Gurus inform their followers: "Some remain absorbed in Samadhi, their minds fixed lovingly on the One Lord; they reflect only on the Word of the Shabad." (p503)[clarification needed]

Religion challenges left and right
Opinion Column
Whenever I write sympathetically about religion, I get bombarded by tweets and notes from readers who normally agree with me but cannot abide the idea that religious belief should be seen as intellectually serious.
Fighting back on voting rights
Attorney General Eric Holder has opened what will be an epic battle over whether our country will remain committed to equal rights at the ballot box. In a display of egregious judicial activism in late June, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Holder made clear last week he intends to fight back.
The painful paradoxes of race always have impact
Opinion Column
'In the jewelry store, they lock the case when I walk in," the young African-American man wrote. "In the shoe store, they help the white man who walks in after me. In the shopping mall they follow me. ... Black male: Guilty until proven innocent."
Raising the stakes on immigration

If you want to alleviate worries about the economic impact of immigration reform, increase the minimum wage.
Pope proves adept at saintly politics
Opinion column
Pope Francis is proving himself to be a genuinely holy man, a brilliant politician and a leader who knows that reform requires a keen understanding of how creating a better future demands sophisticated invocations of the past.
Rights carry obligations, too
Opinion column
Here is the sentence in the Declaration of Independence we always remember: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Great Gatsby economics
Opinion Column
You don't need me to tell you, but it's a whole lot tougher leading a garage band than being a superstar. What you might not have known is just how much harder.
False god of 'narrative' brings lots of trouble
Opinion Column
Scandalmania is distorting our discussion of three different issues, sweeping them into one big narrative — everything is a "narrative" these days — about the beleaguered second-term presidency of Barack Obama. What's being buried under a story line?
'Slow-motion mass murders' in progress
Opinion Column
Public officials are very selective about when violence and death matter.
Sanford wins his place in South Carolina
'I want to publicly acknowledge God's role in all of this," declared a victorious Mark Sanford as he celebrated an unlikely political rebirth Tuesday night with a sermon praising the Supreme Being and the many "angels" who helped the once-disgraced former governor along the way.
Obama's wake-up call
Opinion Column
President Obama got roughed up by the pundit class last week. The question is what lessons he draws from the going-over. Here's one he should take: The nation's political conversation has grown stale and many Americans have lost the sense of what he is doing to improve their lives.
Studying the economic whodunit
Opinion Column
The policy mystery of our time is why politicians in the United States and across much of the democratic world are so obsessed with deficits when their primary mission ought to be bringing down high and debilitating rates of unemployment.
The way forward on guns
Opinion Column
Victories often contain the seeds of future defeats. So it is — or at least should be — with the Senate's morally reprehensible rejection of expanded background checks for gun buyers.
Sandy Hook showed just how bizarre the gun debate is
This effort cannot end with one burst of legislating. The commitment and the organizing unleashed on a vicious day in December cannot abate. Our discussion of guns finally reflects a sober national maturity. We cannot return to childish evasion.
U.S. political system gives extremists too much power
Opinion column
The National Rifle Association is facing attacks from Gun Owners of America for being too soft on gun control. This is like a double cheeseburger coming under severe criticism for lacking enough cholesterol.
Will the GOP block background checks?
Opinion column
Is Congress on the verge of turning away from the lessons of the slaughter in Newtown even as Connecticut enacts sweeping laws to curb gun violence? Is the gun lobby hell-bent on aligning our country with such great friends of liberty as Iran, North Korea and Syria by opposing efforts to condition international gun sales on the human rights records of buyers?
Speech comes with big price tag
Opinion Column
If you are tired of seeing the debate on guns dominated by the National Rifle Association and yearn for sensible weapons laws, you have to love New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. When most politicians were caving in or falling silent, there was Bloomberg, wielding his fortune to keep hope alive that we could move against the violence that blights our nation.
Julian Castro in it for the long run
Opinion Column
Julian Castro is a politician in not too much of a hurry. This does not mean he lacks ambition.
Can Obama save the two-state solution?
Opinion Column
The administration has set expectations for President Obama's trip to Israel so low you'd think he was making another visit to Ohio. Yet this is a very consequential journey because it comes at a moment when hopes for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are fading away.
Calling out Ryan's radicalism
Opinion Column
Paul Ryan's budget could prove to be a perversely useful document.
Conservatives and American power
Opinion Column
Do conservatives still believe in American greatness?
Budget wars: A case for hope
Opinion Column
There are, believe it or not, grounds for hoping that the sequester, stupid as it is, might open the way to ending our nation's budget stalemate.
Catholics facing crisis of governance
Opinion Column
What do the Roman Catholic Church and the American political system have in common? Both are divided into factions that neither trust nor understand each other, and both confront a crisis of governance.
The tea party's ghost
Opinion Column
The deficit that should concern us most right now has to do with time, not money. Money can be recouped. Time just disappears.
The better choice for our next pope? A nun
Opinion Column
In giving up the papacy, Pope Benedict XVI was brave and bold. He did the unexpected for the good of the Catholic Church. And when it selects a new pope next month, the College of Cardinals should be equally brave and bold. It is time to elect a nun as the next pontiff.
Remembering when Republicans were problem-solvers
Opinion Column
We interrupt this highly partisan and ideological moment with some contrarian news: President Obama is not the only politician who thinks that expanding access to pre-Kindergarten is a good investment.
The new politics of immigration
Opinion Column
Think back to the battle over health care reform. Can you imagine Republicans, upon hearing that President Obama was about to offer his own proposals, would want to rush ahead of him to put their own marker down -- and take positions close to his?
Obama takes on extremism on guns
Opinion Column
President Obama went big in offering a remarkably comprehensive plan to curb gun violence, and good for him. But his announcement Wednesday is only the beginning of a protracted struggle for national sanity on firearms. Extremists have controlled the debate on guns for many years. They will do all they can to preserve a bloody status quo. The irrationality of their approach must be exposed and their power broken.
We're not in decline or retreat
Opinion Column
We are about to have a major foreign policy debate in the guise of a confirmation battle over Chuck Hagel's nomination as secretary of defense and the related argument over how long American troops should stay in Afghanistan. President Obama should use this opportunity to stand up for his broader vision of how American power can be sustained and used, even if that doesn't come naturally to a pragmatist who likes making decisions one at a time.
Republican support needed on gun control laws
Opinion column
The first and most important victory for advocates of sensible gun laws would, on almost any other matter, seem trivial. But when it comes to firearms, it's huge: Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, attention to the issue has not waned and pressure for action has not diminished.
It's better than it looks
Opinion Column
To be deemed a serious analyst at the moment seems to require a lot of hand-wringing and sneering over how awful Congress looked over the last few days as it rushed a fiscal cliff deal into law.
Kindness in the face of horror
The boardwalk where generations strolled along one of the world's great urban beaches is gone, twisted and then tossed into neighborhood streets by an unforgiving storm called Sandy.
It's our system on the cliff
The United States faces a crisis in our political system because the Republican Party, particularly in the House of Representatives, is no longer a normal, governing party.
Unreason on health care continues
Opinion Column
The human capacity to put passion and intense feeling over cool rationality does not surprise us when it comes to love, sex, family, friendship, certain kinds of religious commitment and even devotion to sports teams. But emotional approaches can be quite dangerous in public policy, and on no subject is irrationality as pronounced as it is in health care.
The conservative learning curve
Opinion column
Over the long run, the most important impact of an election is not on the winning party but on the loser.
Why sane bargaining looks strange
An entirely new political narrative is taking shape before our eyes, yet many here are still stuck in the old one.
Fiscal cliff may end no-tax-hike mantra
Opinion column
Here's the first lesson from the early skirmishing over ways to avoid the fiscal cliff: Democrats and liberals have to stop elevating Grover Norquist, the anti-government crusader who wields his no-tax pledge as a nuclear weapon, into the role of a political Superman.
Hiding the church's treasure
To say that the Belle Harbor neighborhood on New York City's Rockaway Peninsula was slammed by Hurricane Sandy understates the case. Like many other parts of the region, it has suffered the kind of devastation we usually associate with wars.
Victory should settle argument
President Obama's re-election was at once a deeply personal triumph and a victory for the younger, highly diverse and broadly progressive America that rallied to him. It was a result that ought to settle the bitter argument that ground the nation's government to a near-standstill.
Gilded Age vs. 21st century
Opinion Column
The 2012 campaign began on Aug. 2, 2011, when President Obama signed the deal ending the debt-ceiling fiasco. At that moment, the president relinquished his last illusions that the current, radical version of the Republican Party could be dealt with as a governing partner. From then on, Obama was determined to fight -- and to win.
The not-so-hidden Obama agenda
Everywhere you turn, President Obama is accused of not offering a clear second-term agenda. It's not surprising that Republicans say it, but you also hear it from quarters sympathetic to the president.
Replace this greed before game's over
When even Scott Walker and Paul Ryan kind-of, sort-of side with labor against management, who knows what else is possible? Maybe they'll endorse tax increases and say nice things about teachers unions.
Obama's hope and change 2.0
The man who ran on hope and change didn't walk away from them. He redefined them for the long haul.
Paul Ryan and the triumph of theory
If Paul Ryan were a liberal, conservatives would describe him as a creature of Washington who has spent virtually all of his professional life as a congressional aide, a staffer at an ideological think tank, and, finally, as a member of Congress. In the right's shorthand: he never met a payroll.
A challenge issued to conservatives
It's good that conservatives are finally taking seriously the problems of inequality and declining upward mobility. It's unfortunate that they often evade the ways in which structural changes in the economy, combined with conservative policies, have made matters worse.
Obama needs an 'economics' of national pride
The path to the White House passes through the blue-collar communities in Ohio where President Obama campaigned last week -- and the middle-class suburbs of Colorado where he did well four years ago.
A win for Obama -- and Roberts
The Supreme Court's decision upholding the health care law is not only a huge victory for President Obama but also a moment of leadership for Chief Justice John Roberts.

Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes
Across America ($15.60) Amazon
"John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin mustache, and a cardboard sign that reads "I'm Not Psycho," he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash?
Before he leaves for this bizarre adventure, Waters fantasizes about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road? His real-life rides include a gentle eighty-one-year-old farmer who is convinced Waters is a hobo, an indie band on tour, and the perverse filmmaker's unexpected hero: a young, sandy-haired Republican in a Corvette.
Laced with subversive humor and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable vacation with a wickedly funny companion—and a celebration of America's weird, astonishing, and generous citizenry." Amazon

Inspired by Jay, I built one 18x44ft h tunnel. I have 55 toms 60 peppers and some zukes and cukes. Sadly, some of my toms have looked quite sick. I think is a combination of a fungus, transplant shock and mag deficiency.
I am amazed at how much they grew in 2 weeks! These pics are from a week or so ago. THe super healthy ones are going to flwer soon. Im sure the others will catch up soon, man I wish I knew what happened. They were all grown the same. Its made from 1.5 pvc conduit, 4ft apart. The conduit has a uv protector in it. It has all ready withstood 60-70 mph winds.
sick tom, they are starting to look better now. healthy tom.

Morita is a student of Fujimi High School and a friend of Takashi Komuro.
Morita is a student of Fujimi High School in Tokonosu Prefecture and a friend of Takashi Komuro. He's the young-man with his finger on the pulse of the school and hears all the good rumors. He also compiled a list of the school's most desirable women that he calls the "Morita Report".
The character of Morita is a supporting character of the manga series Highschool of the Dead that was written by Daisuke Sato and illustrated by Shouji Sato. The series first began serialization in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in July 2006.
Her first appearance was in Hightschool of the Dead Volume 1 CH. 1 "Spring of the Dead", and his appearance in the story was removed from the anime. The role Morita originally played in the story was replaced by Saya Takagi in the anime adaptation. He has only been seen alive in flashbacks.
Two hours before Fujimi Highschool was overtaken by Them ( zombies), Morita went to see his friend Takashi. He went to ask him if the rumor was true that he had been dumped by his childhood friend Rei Miyamoto for another friend, Hisashi Igou. Takashi confirmed and tried to shrug it off since Hisashi is a nice guy. Seeing that Takashi was alright, Morita sneaked back into the school dorms. He wouldn't survive the attack on the school. He was captured, bitten, and changed into one of Them.
After the outbreak as Takashi is looking over the crowd of Them attacking other students, he notices Morita has been changed and is dragging the corpse of a girl behind him.
The contents of the "Morita Report" lists the the girls in the order: Saeko Busujima, who he wants to see in the naked apron outfit, Miku Yuuki, who rumors say is promiscuous, the pair of Misuzu Ichijou and Toshimi Niki, and Saya Takagi.
