I've got this patient whose cancer has not yet been named by the pathologist (we're awaiting biopsy results), but it's probably some nasty business given her symptoms. Which is why I tiptoed into the subject of euthanasia last week with her owners. To no avail. Turns out many Buddhists won't euthanize their pets.
Though I know all about the "no killing" thing with Buddhists, this was news to me. After all, I'd euthanized pets from at least five Buddhist families. I guess this provision is not so uniformly considered in the same light by all Buddhists.
Here's some background on this case:
I love this patient. She's a fluffy white, gracefully aging cat with a beautiful disposition — one much befitting her owner's kind (albeit worry wart-ish) manner.
Her owner is the sort of client who will call you on your cell phone in the evening and on the weekends, but he's also ready with a rapid apology and a basket of fruit or some other token of appreciation for the above-and-beyond stuff we're occasionally called to do for his cat. He takes great care of his cats, and — get this — he once even donated a sizable sum to my favorite pet charity (Penn's Shelter Med Program) in my name.
Hence, a great client.
But back to the Buddhist thing:
The guy's a practicing Buddhist with a heavy commitment to his spiritual life. Which is why he's reluctant to entertain the concept of euthanasia for his cat if he can "in any way avoid it."
It's an understandable conflict when you read these words (sourced from a great blog post on the subject of Buddhism and euthanasia in humans):
Buddhism places great emphasis on the significance of human life. Of the six realms of traditional Buddhist cosmology, the human realm offers the best opportunity for enlightenment. To take life — one's own or someone else's — is seen to be wrong, something outlined in the first precept which guides us to abstain from killing living beings. On both counts, euthanasia could be seen to be wrong. On the other hand, Buddhism places great emphasis on compassion (karuna). If someone is dying in terrible agony, would it be so wrong to hasten their death — especially with their consent? Would it not be, in fact, an act of compassion?
Seems the same conflict applies to pets, though less so given they are not in the "human realm" yet. Yet if "we are all upon the wheel of life," as the Buddha Siddhartha is said to have taught, the concept of euthanasia avoidance should be no different for dogs and cats — or even cockroaches — than for humans. Animals should also suffer, as it is considered a significant element of that "wheel's" forward progress.
Yes, I get it. But I don't personally agree. While I will offer (and he has agreed to accept) lots and lots of pain relief, if and when it's needed, euthanasia is probably out. But we'll see if when the time comes he won't agree with what the Buddhist blogger I referenced ultimately had to say:
In the end I think we have to follow the Buddha's teachings to think for ourselves and not just blindly follow a teacher who says that "this" is good and "that" is bad. We all have to find our own path and in the end no one can walk it for us.
And to that, all I have to say is, "AMEN!"

This discussion was actually part of my vet school interview oddly enough. We were talking about cows in India, which is a little different, but it evolved to the general pet population. As a Buddhist myself, I take it as we are given the opportunity to live well and achieve enlightenment in only our human lives. But it all comes down to individual emphasis- I place acting compassionately on a higher tier of importance than the do not kill. I can live with that, now and in the future. Intent is as important as action so far as I believe and wrong actions with the right intent might (hopefully) balance.
I imagine you come across this difficulty frequently when it comes to euthanasia.
Personally, I cannot imagine allowing a critter to suffer when there's no hope of recovery or when the bad days outnumber the good days.
It horrifies me when I hear someone says that Fluffy or Fido is in great pain and the animal is "taken home to die naturally". In my opinion, there's nothing natural about it.
How can we do that to our beloved pets? How can we allow their last days to be filled with pain and suffering? What's the point of keeping them doped up and unresponsive?
As a doctor, you cannot insist on euthanasia. You can't turn a difficult situation into a religious discussion. You can only attempt to guide your clients, but in the end they make the final decision.
This is one of those times I'm so glad I don't have your job.
"While I will offer (and he has agreed to accept) lots and lots of pain relief, if and when it's needed, euthanasia is probably out."
From my experiences with anesthesia and other pain relief, that's just as "good" as the deliberate over-dose.
As long as the pain is gone I don't see any difference except in timing, and if your client is willing to put in the time and has the skill (or you) to administer the drugs I don't see any extra harm to the cat.
I am so happy that, I am not in your shoes. God Bless each of you, I cOULD not do it. ......AMEN
I think that many people have many reasons for the decisions they make.
As far as religions go, Buddhism is arguably one of the few religions that respects the life of animals.
Personally, I'm an atheist, but if you want to go after a religion for its treatment of animals, I'm not sure you're barking up the right tree. You've already said that this cat has lived a charmed life and will be under your supervision in the pain arena - and we all know how seriously you take pain and how liberal you are with pain killers - I mean this in a positive light, as in I don't think that this cat will suffer very much in the long run. Certainly when compared to say a dog who lives its entire life with undiagnosed hip dysplasia?
What I'd like to see a post about is the failure to euthanize that seems to be occurring at a frightening pace.
My husband told me last night of a story that had shocked him - a man had his 13 year old dog euthanized and took his body home to the farm to bury. He placed the dog in the barn until morning - when he came out and found the dog very much alive.
The initial concern about pentobarbital in food was that vets were supposedly seeing a resistance during euthanasias. I witnessed this myself when we euthanized our cat George. The initial injection was not enough to completely stop his heart, and I had to go through the doctor shaving his other arm and digging around for a vein because the one used originally had collapsed. I had to euthanize him twice.
A few years later, a friend who works as a vet receptionist watched a young german shepherd get euth'd, but the freezer was full so the body was bagged and placed beside the freezer (pickup was scheduled for the morning). When she came in to open the next day, the dog greeted her at the door, tail wagging.
How often does this happen, except the animal is put into the freezer and dies a horrific death? I can tell you for sure that the Shepherd's owners were never notified about what happened.
Before criticizing someone for having religious beliefs about ending another creature's life, I'd like reassurance that the option you're offering is the better one.
Don't misunderstand - I have no qualms with euthanasia - in fact, I believe that humans should have that option themselves when they find themselves in terminal or degenerative disease states.
But as a pet owner and a firm believer in individual rights, I'm bothered by the fact that a) you haven't addressed the problems with euthanasia itself and b) you criticize Buddhism without offering any kind of comparison to other religions or cultures.
Redford Township dog returns to life after vet's attempt to euthanize it
As for the vet in the above story stating that this has only occurred once in 30 years, I find it hard to believe - after euthanasia, animals are bagged and frozen for transport, and euthanasias tend to be booked for the end of the day. Wonder how many animals die in veterinary freezers? -
babysweet: I will be addressing this point for tomorrow's post. Seems it's gone viral. IMportant, however, to note that we have not heard the whole story from the vet's side. Just sounding a brief note of caution.
babysweet, I don't see where Dr. Khuly is criticizing Buddhism. She clearly says she understands it, just doesn't agree with it.
That's how most people face other religions they don't participate in. -
Dr. Khuly, do you consider your role to be more of making yourself ethically satisfied, or ethically satisfying your clients? In this case, I would overdose the patient and satisfy my own ethics.
I wonder if the fact that this client is Buddhist makes a difference? It sometimes feels like Buddhists get a free pass, religion wise, but if this person were a Christian Scientest and had a dog suffering, I doubt people would have such a laize faire (sp?) feeling about it. I have no idea if there is anything in the Christian Science religion about administerimg meds to pets, this was just an example.
I mean no offense to anyone's religion or beliefs, I am just coming at this from an atheistic place which I think affect my feelings on the matter. -
@ babysweet
I work at a shelter with a 30-40% euthanasia rate. i've worked there 5+ years, and i have never seen an animal 'come back to life' after an appropriately administered euthanasia. And we don't have a freezer- we have a cooler, so an animal that was still 'alive' after the procedure could survive the night in the cooler and not freeze to death.
it comes down to appropriate training. There are many ways to verify medical death of an animal before bagging, and more than one should be used each time (cardiac puncture, heartbeat and corneal reflex, rigor mortis, etc). And if there's ever any doubt, you should always inject more pentobarbital.
Those examples you related are horrifying and make me physically ill just thinking about them -
Wow, some people are harsh.
I don't notice any criticism by Dr. Khuly. It is a professional disagreement, which hopefully is common for pet doctors.
I wonder how many more pets would be saved if pet loving people got along better with other pet loving people. -
Who is being harsh?
I am a veterinarian and in all of my 16 yrs of practice I have never seen an animal "come back to life". I truly believe that tale is some urban legend akin to the guy that woke up in a bathtub full of ice with a giant incision on his back where his kidney had been removed.I am sure it has happened once or twice, but routinely? Hard to believe. Regarding pain meds for pain- I don't know of any of you have ever suffered form painful condition . I have and I must say there is no pain medication that completely alleveiates pain. You still feel it and it still hurts- a lot. As far as Buddhists go, we can only respect other people's beliefs and educate them about signs of suffering in our companion animals. The decision is always their own. Most clients, in the end, will recognize that their pet is not happy , has no quality of life and will make the right decision. That is the best we can do as vets.
Rottweiler in Michigan gets new leash on life after botched euthanasia attempt
Associated Press
REDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A suburban Detroit man whose Rottweiler was given a new leash on life after surviving a botched euthanasia said he has neither the heart nor the money to try the procedure again.
Redford Township resident Matt Olivarez, 27, said he's in a tough spot: facing possible home foreclosure while at the same time trying to do right by Mia, an 11-year-old pooch that he feeds by hand, partly because of her spinal problem that makes walking difficult.
Olivarez said he took Mia to the Westcott Veterinary Care Center in Detroit on Saturday to alleviate her suffering. He said Westcott officials speculated afterward that the drug dosage wasn't strong enough or had been watered down.
He now shudders at the thought of almost burying his beloved pet alive.
"I don't know if I could do it a second time," Olivarez told The Detroit News for a story published Wednesday.
Olivarez said he returned to his garage Sunday morning and noticed Mia missing from where he'd placed her on a pile of hay the day before. He'd planned to bury her in his grandfather's backyard.
Instead, he turned to find her standing on all fours, staring at him.
"Are you still my dog?" he said, saying he felt like he was living a scene from one of the scary movies he enjoys. "It was like a scene from 'Pet Sematary.'"
Olivarez purchased Mia, the only member of her litter to survive, around the time his first child was born. She was intended to be a companion for his sons, now 8 and 9. Olivarez tried to explain Mia's resurrection to them Tuesday night.
"It's crazy," he said. "It's not something I planned for."
Meanwhile, Olivarez is seeking a new owner who can give Mia proper care.
"I'll keep her until I figure something out," he said.
From an interview with Venerable Gonsar Rinpoche:
Scroll down to "What do you recommend to western dog keepers and breeders?
A: "Nowadays, there are tendencies to exaggeration. That is never good. It is selfish and childish to shape beings according to our own wishes. My recommendation is to keep the Tibetan dog breeds as they are: healthy and robust and adapted to their life-task.
I don't think it is good to feed them with much meat. Today, it always has to be meat. This can cause disease.
I also regret that dog owners are willing to put their sick dogs to sleep. That is like killing a member of the family. Of course, we should help the animal and keep him from suffering. But often it is a selfish decision, as we are not able to cope with the illness, additional work and suffering at hand. Death always causes suffering; we cannot escape that."
He is saying the animals should be treated like family and many of us would agree with this. And he is saying the issue is also suffering and not wanting to care for the animals in the face of sickness. I think he clarifies that the client's cat should be cared for; the suffering alleviated as much as possible, and the animal should be allowed to die. He is not saying to extend the life as often we do now sometimes selfishly but also not to kill the pet. So your job is clear. Help the owner keep the cat comfortable and care for it until it dies. -
@P: He also believes dogs reincarnate after they die and are returned to you in 49 days.
So a vet's job is never clear, as they have their own beliefs, too. -
Buddhism is much like other religions in that the specific beliefs and practices of individuals who adhere to it vary considerably. Good theological arguments within Buddhist doctrines can be made for and against euthanasia, so I suspect it is not so much the religion as the individual client's understanding of it, that is leading him to oppose euthanizing his cat.
I've had similar conversations with clients unwilling to consider euthanasia, though they have mostly been Christians (primarily Catholics), not Buddhists. I've also had to find ways to accomodate other religious beliefs, such as avoiding meat-based diets or flavored medications for Hindu owners, and so on.
Personally, I don't believe such beliefs have any intrinsic claim to being respected, but as a practical matter most of the decisions our clients make about their pets' care are more personal, values-based decisions than strictly medical ones, and we have to work with what their values are even if they conflict with our own. The trick is determining when what the client wants to do is sufficiently incompatible with our own values that we must decline to participate or facilitate it. It sounds like you feel generally that this person is a caring owner who takes good care of his pets, so it seems fair to practice the best palliative, hospice care you can for his pet even if you personally feel it would be better to elect euthanasia. Ahh, the ethical dilemmas we didn't expect to face when we were in vet school! :-) -
Personally, I couldn't do it. Although my personal feelings & wishes were stretched far beyond what I cared most deeply about (and that is humane death and end of suffering) once.
However, animals suffer and receive inhumane deaths by the millions every year, be it food for our plate or via laboratory & teaching.
The death that this man proposes sure as heck is more humane than one that meets a cruel and abusive end. I sure would give him some latitude and understanding. -
Its funny how I found this when I recently lost my cat Tonic over the weekend. he died at home with me by his side, he had a blockage in the bladder/kidney area and since I am a new cat mom I didn't notice it as fast I could have. I am Buddhist and what i have learned from my practice is that there is a lot of views and opinions on many things which comes with any religious or core value in any person.
My Tonic died and I had a hard time trying to understand why so in hopes of helping myself move on from grieving I had to turn to my faith which is the teaching of Nichiren Dishonen. What I had a hard time understanding coming from a previous Christian background is life and death which something many Buddhist seem to struggle with depending on with path of Buddhism they follow.
for my practice we believe every living thing will experience the four sufferings birth, aging, death and sickness. Since I have started my practice I have witness more sickness and death then I could possibly image for a short period.
For us and the philosophy we follow death is a gateway to a new beginning. so even though right now I am horrible devastated that my beloved cat is no longer with me I have to focus on the future and the new life that comes from being a Buddhist which is a struggle to understand being a human in this lifetime.
when I started my practice I meat a woman who was battling cancer and she fought that cancer to the end with treatments and her faith. Now being a pet parent its my responsibility to fight for the lives of my cats as long as possible but I have to keep in mind that I am human and I have to be to do what I can handle. having a strong faith helps making these hard decisions in life but sometimes you have to take a step back and do what is best for you and your beloved fur baby. -
Yeah, I'm sure it's just happened "once or twice" - while my own cat had to be euthanized twice, I've witnessed a euthanized dog running around the clinic the next morning and here now is a news report.
What do they say about mice? For every one you see...
Sorry, but I can't buy that based on my own personal experience. Would I believe it if I hadn't seen it myself - and on more than one occasion? Probably not.
But again, remember that the original investigation into pentobarbital in foods came about because formerly effective dosages were becoming inadequate.
If nothing else, this shows that studies need to be done - that our current protocol is insufficient. -
Buddhists, just as Christians, are dealing with situations that did not exist when their respective religions were first taking shape. Animals did not live with people as part of the family, and did not live nearly as long or develop ilnesses that come with old age. So this is largely unchartered territory for any religious person. We can only hope that they will agree that allowing the animal to die "naturally" is impossible, and hypocritical: the animal was able to live to a ripe old age and develop cancer or another disease precisely because we have overcome nature. Or, a healthy young animal was hit by a car because, again, we have repaced its natural environment with something completely unnatural: objects that move very fast and kill on impact.
One question please; is it true as one commenter stated; that their is not pain mediction or amount that can keep one pain free?
wonderful comments! -
I took my 16 yr old tabby to be put down.
They put him on a table and I held his face in my hands.
They sprayed his back leg to find a vein ( I guess) and they started to inject a pink fluid.
I was under the impression that the fluid was painful because my cat pulled out of the needle after only 1/2" went in.
Then they tried to stick him again and I could feel him getting weaker and they tried to find a vein again and finally they gave him the whole shot and I could feel his carotid arteries both stop.
This was emotionally devastating to me, I think the shot hurt as it went in since the cat didn't react to the needle itself.
My question is, what is the pink fluid? Does it burn inside the veins?
thanks. -
I was searching for some information on the Internet and came across this post. At first I thought, this guy is in the same situation as me, then I realized Patty was talking about me.
My Name is Ray. My Cat's name is SheHeShe. You may wonder why such a strange name, she is a hermaphrodite, one of the strangest creatures I have ever encountered.
We are assuming she is about 12 years old. I found her three years ago when I moved into my new condominium. We had to remove her tail, remove all her teeth and many more procedures ensued in the coming years. She also has a few mental issues.
I have spent over 10K in the last three years taking care of her. I'm so grateful to have the financial means to do so. It breaks my heart so many others cannot. I was thinking of renaming her "mortgage", but I will stick with "SheHeShe".
I found out three weeks ago that she's feline leukemia positive. The old Ray from 3 years ago would have never brought her in if he knew this. At that time I had 2 other cats (both have passed on), one with extreme cancer.
I refer to myself above in the third objective, because I am no longer that person. I am learning every minute of every day, I slightly change and become a different being. I have proven to myself that this is an undisputed truth.
I know that I'm so blessed to have had this creature in my life and to think things could have turned out differently and not have had her in my life just petrified me to my very core.
Right now she is laying in the same spot where my other two took refuge before they died.
I can only speak from my perspective and only my perspective. I am not here to preach or to give advice.
I WILL PUT HER DOWN ONLY IN AN EXTREME CASE. I am NOT here to impose my beliefs on an animal, but at the same time, I must do this strictly for her and not a convenience for me. I unfortunately regret euthanizing my second cat more for conveniences sake, even though it was done with compassion. She could have lived three extra days in her home. I know, what's 3 extra days? Maybe a lifetime for some.
She is slightly choking, but is extremely alert. She responds extremely positive to my touch and slightly purrs. Her tail, actually her little stomp points to the sky. You could say this is my indicator. She is trying to eat but its seems to be becoming more and more painful. Her eyes are so big because her head seems to be shrinking.
I have pretty much made up my mind based on my logic and reason and not on an emotional state, like Buddhist are supposed to do. If her condition does not improve by Monday, I will put her down.
I must now generate as much compassion as possible. I am in shock that I am so neutral and have kept my emotions in check, this is not like me at all, I should be an emotional wreck.
My greatest gift is to try to give her a natural and peaceful death, if I cannot do that, I can and will euthanize her.
How fortunate we all are to live in a land where we can care so much for our pets.
We are both so blessed.
Thank you all,
SheHeShe and Ray
Ray, bless you and SheHeShe as you walk this difficult but necessary path. You sound like you are a very caring pet person, and for that I'm grateful. There is so much bad news out there that it's heartening to meet others who care so much about animals.
I understand your conviction to follow your path, and I am glad that you are letting compassion rule over all.
To everyone else: All religions have people who fall everywhere along the spectrum of how they follow their paths. Also, I'm sure this is never an easy decision for everyone.
In my case, quality of life of the animal (and person, if that were legal) comes first. I try to preserve life, but I also recognize that sometimes there is not much--if any--to preserve. I also communicate with my animals, and I actually ASK them to let me know what they need, and they do.
There are no easy answers. -
An update on "SheHeShe".
SheHeShe was euthanize this Friday around 3:pm in her home. It was not my intention that day to euthanize her nor did it cross my mind.
I took her to see Patty to replace the existing pain patch with a new one. I did notice on Thursday she was more subdued and laid back than normal. The last time I got her to purr and point her little 1 inch tail to the sky was Wednesday.
I knew that the time was close because she did not want to go outside, but she has fooled me many times before and I thought nothing of it. Unfortunately at Patty's clinic, she reacted in a way that terrified me. It's amazing how a little 5 pound toothless cat can freeze 3 grownups in their tracks. It was more than obvious, especially because of the bruising now all over her body and the extremely loud verbal reaction from her that the time was here.
I wish I could say that I kept my cool, but for about 45 seconds, I mentally lost it inside. It it was more than obvious that the time was here and I needed to compose myself so she could see me strong and worry free for her.
I immediately put her cat bag on the counter and she jump inside for refuge. I informed Patty that yes the time was here, but not in this state of mind.
I don't think it takes a rocket scientist or Buddhist to understand that a peaceful and calm death is better than a violent one. The choice was crystal clear, take her home and wait for her to collapse and attempt the procedure at home or wait to see if she would calm down at home which she did. It took about 5 hours at home for her to relax and let me touch her again.
To make a long story short, it was an extremely peaceful has Patty and myself both did what we needed to do. After it was over I look at her, it's been a long time since I've seen her at peace. Patty said it was one of the most peaceful procedures she has participated in.
Throughout this entire procedure, there were many people that helped me indoor this time, but I wish to share the words that a very wise and wonderful person shared with me. It's supposed to be an old Hebrew text and I'm probably not going to quoted it correctly but the message is " You may never get the answers, but you must not abandon the work".
Well life goes on and I now see that my new 4 months old kitten has a urinary infection, so it's off to see Patty again on Monday.
I hope my story helps others. Would I have changed anything? Absolutely not, to be with her an extra 8 weeks where almost 90% of the time she wanted to play with me, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Peace to all sentient beings.
Ray -
I am a Buddhist and my Dog Fluke Had been in pain for weeks. He had Osteosarcoma and Hip Dysplasia. Euthanasia was the only humane option. I feel like I have lost my best friend. My family used to joke saying I loved my dog more than them. I will miss him greatly. I accept any Karma coming my way, because now at least Fluke is in no more pain. :(
Hello Gerry,
Just this very moment I got home from driving my Geshe-la all over town. Never did I think I would revisit this post. As one that has taking refuge in the three jewels I would like to voice my opinion.
Keep in mind that my opinion is based on my consciousness and my life experience and your life experience and consciousness are yours so I could never tell you what to do or what to think.
I gave my SheHeShe the ultimate gift, a peaceful death. I gave it to her at the very last moment when the morphine patches no longer worked. I gave it to her when her organs turned to jelly because she did not eat for over 27 days. I euthanize her, based on my knowledge of the Dharma, a stable mind and the most virtuous of intent.
Yes, from a Buddhist perspective I killed her, yes I will endure some negative karma, but I would have given my life for her. I know people think this is absolutely crazy, but this was my intent. I made perfectly clear in my mind that this was for her, I would and will endure any negative karma for her, I made sure in my mind that this was nothing about me, it was for her.
My Geshe-la's cat is now getting older, even he has told me that he is not sure what to do and ask for my help. I told him that I would never euthanize as long as I could control the pain. If there was small pain or even medium pain I would do my best to bring about a natural and peaceful death. But there comes a point when the pain is so great and in so many ways whether it's a cat or a dog or any other animal they look at you for comfort, only in the most painful situation will I euthanize and I do so with little regret and the most ultimate compassion.
Until the day that I become a Buddha and can see the totality of all phenomena, I stand by my position. My decision was based on compassion, a clear and stable mind and knowing that all my options were used. We are contaminated product even under the most compassionate circumstances we really never know what is right or what is wrong until we move away from these concepts.
You obviously have to come to terms with your decision and only you know your heart and mind. I have come to terms with mine and unless my knowledge of the Dharma changes to the point that I can see the totality of causes and conditions and know with absolute certainty that my decision was incorrect, I will euthanize when I can no longer control insufferable pain. If I deal with any negative karma I look at this as a gift for having the ability to reduce the pain of something outside of myself that I cared even more than me.
I always joke with my Geshe-la that some of my greatest teachers have had four legs. I think as a practicing Buddhist you will be a better sentient being because of this, I have found that my understanding of the Dharma becomes even more clearer when I have to endure decisions such as this.
May Buddha bless you.
May Fluke have a blessed and high rebirth.
May Fluke and SheHeShe find enlightenment long before we do.

If i want to execute the whole worksheet I just want to stay at the same place in the worksheet and I also don't want to expand previousily closed sections. I use document mode. Thanks in advance
Hi Everyone:
As far as I know maple has no way to define key bindings for it's actions.
I would however like to be able to navigate around the worksheet using hjkl keys - namely alt+j would be equivalent to down_arrow, and so on. I find that I spend more time reaching for the arrow keys or the mouse than writing useful code (I might be exaggerating slightly here ;) ). I can implement this behavior easily using my window manager (FVWM) - meaning the window...
When using Maple 15, sometimes the pagackages and formulas that were previously defined seem to completely drop it. I'll load packages and assign variables at the beginning of my project, yet after maybe 10 minutes or so, I have to redefine my variables and reload my pacakges. I have noticed that it happens more often if I try to switch over to the "Text" tab and then back to "Math." It's very intermittent, Maple will be working just fine churning out graphs,...
Hi, someone insert a .mw file in the mapleprimes answer, but i could not open it. May I know how do i open the worksheet please? It does not show when i click on it. I tried "save target as" it didn't work as well. Please help. Many thanks, Serena Lim
Hi All,
I am using maple 15 for a mechanical modeling, which has some very complex trigonomitry manipulations. The
script runs fine in maple 9.5.1 under window XP. But when I try to load the script in maple 15 under window 7,
it keeps loading forever. I noticed the memory usage in window manager to approach 1GB. (I have 4 GB in my PC).
The 9.5.1 uses much small portion of the memory. Does anyone see this problem before?
In which context runs subj? Why all time when i start debugging with 'stoperror' it stops at 'interface' call i.e. in debugger
doesn't return 3 as worksheet returns. It return interface('prettyprint') i.e. symbol.
That's the question... 'cause I've tried to open it using
./maple14/bin/maple -cw
like a thousand times and nothing happens...
I was solving one Math puzzle and found out a strange behaviour of the Optimization package commands in the Classic Worksheet.
Let us minimize the function 7*x+3*y under the constraint 6*x+2*y >= 49 for non-negative integers. When I type
Optimization:-Minimize(7*x+3*y, {6*x+2*y >= 49}, assume = nonnegint);
Hi all,
A while ago, I had asked a question relating to calling to an MapleSim .msim simulation within maple .mw worksheet. (Thank you Acer! :) I got it working but then another issue just popped up...The basic structure is as follows:
A := MapleSim:-LinkModel('filename' = "TriplePendulum_WORKS_v2.msim")
for z from 1 to 50 do
I've made exam questions for students that they have to answer by doing some calculations in Maple.
I would like to let them copy the commands they used to a Maple TA text field.
However, the standard worksheet in our computer lab uses 2-D math. Copying this 2-D math to Maple TA works fine with "paste as plain text", but copying 1-D math also works with ctrl-v in Maple TA, which is more convenient for students under stress.
Since I am not allowed change...
i just installed maple 15 in my macbook but i can't find classic worksheet, is it only for window?
Why does Maple Italicize every letter I type whenever I create a new file?
Is there a way to disable this automatic italicization?
Your worksheet may be incomplete"Hi, I use maple 12 for mac, I have an exam at 9am, it's almost 3am and my whole exam notes (open "maple" exam, as opposed to open book) have just corrupted.PLEASE HELP ME.. :(2p81_final.mw

Father And Toddler Rape Pictures | Fake Rape | Free And Rape Pictures | Fantasy Rape Stories Anal |
Night was falling as she made her way through the park to her apartment on the far side. She had noticed the man under the trees, but paid him no attention. There was no one else around and so she felt safe. She was used to people staring at her (she supposed she could be considered attractive), so it wasn't unusual for the man to be watching her. It was unusual, however, for him to leave the shade of the trees to follow her, but she didn't notice in her rush to get home. She was tired after work, and wanted her dinner and her bed. Almost there, she thought. And then the man stepped in front of her on the path. He was startlingly handsome, she realizes as she stopped short and looked at him. That was the only thought she could process before he was pushing her back under the trees, where the gloom had become thick enough to shield them from any chance passerby. Up against the tree, his hands on her shoulders holding her not roughly, but firmly, preventing her escape, she saw that he was rather broad, and taller than she had first seen. Her mind was stumped at the turn of events and it didn't even occur to her to scream. And then she couldn't, as he started kissing her. It was a deep, fierce kiss, full of unexplained passion. She didn't understand the sparks that flowed between herself and this strange man accosting her. She didn't know that he had been watching her for a long time. She only knew that he was a stranger, and he was kissing her. She bit him. He pulled back, panting, and whispered her name. "Who are you? How do you know my name?" "You're beautiful. I love you. I have for a long time." "You've been following me?! How dare -" She didn't get any further because he was kissing her again, brutal and demanding. He reached for her breast and she struggled to escape, but was pinned between the tree and his hard, straining body. He broke the kiss and moaned as she rubbed against his rigid arousal in her attempts to escape. He tangled hid hand in her hair and slid the other to her butt as he tilted her head back to kiss her yet again. This time, she couldn't ignore the sparks and, somehow, rather than biting him, began kissing him back as he pulled her body closer to his. She pulled her head back and looked at him, confused and appalled at her sudden attraction and desire for this man, this stranger. "Are you going to rape me," she asked, breathless from his kiss. "Only if you make me force you." Amazingly, on a burst of impulse, the choice was simple. He's bigger and stronger than I am, she thought. I'd have no chance against him. And, strangely enough, for some reason I want to. I'll probably regret it later, but... He sensed the change in her, felt the resistance melt away, and knew he'd won. He gently lowered her onto the soft grass next to the tree and knelt beside her, simply looking at her. "I've waited a long time for this," he said. He reached over and began to unbutton her blouse, pausing only to kiss her when a wave of uncertainty flashed through her eyes. Shirt beside her, he began to fondle her breasts, stooping to suckle gently at one of them. She felt something beginning to stir inside of her, something she hadn't felt for a long time. This was dangerous, something she would never even dream about doing. But it was exciting. His hand slipped under her skirt and they both moaned as his fingers discovered the wetness there. She had forgotten that she had removed her underwear after she spilled her drink at lunch. Then his fingers were inside her â teasing and tantalizing, making her cry out for more before she could remember that he was a stranger and that she shouldn't even be talking to him. The next instant, faster than she would have thought possible, he had his pants open and he was inside her. Without thinking, she put one leg around his back and her arms around his neck, pulling him closer and kissing him. They moved together, slowly at first, then faster. She noticed everything about that night, engraving every detail in her brain: the roughness of the grass beneath her, the stars in the sky above, the scent of the flowers nearby mixed with the scent of Him, the feel of this strong man on top of her, of him deep inside of her, where few men had ever touched. He felt himself starting to lose control, the need to empty himself into her almost impossible to deny. "Come on, baby, cum. Cum!" He wanted it to be special for her, too. He didn't want her to regret her impulsiveness and instead to remember this incredible night as he would. She looked up at him, straight into his eyes, and he nearly died at the look of ecstasy on her face as she began to convulse around him. His control shattered, and he thrust into her deeply, almost brutally, once, twice, and then he was exploding, sensation sizzling through his body. He collapsed onto her heaving breast, unable to hold himself up any longer, and they lay together, hearing the wind in the trees and a lone owl nearby. Finally, after minutes or hours, neither knew nor cared which, he climbed to his feet, blew a kiss toward her, and walked away, never looking back. Every day afterward, she walked through the park, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man to which a hidden part of her now belonged. But she never saw him again. And she never even knew his name. |

The School of Night
Title: The School of Night
Author: Louis Bayard
KDL Description:
"Part historical romance, part contemporary suspense surrounding a discovered Elizabethan letter connecting the great minds of the era with the secretive and dangerous School of Night. Bayard is known for his historical mysteries and here he adds a different element to the mix by combining a plot set in the Elizabethan era with a modern-day story."—Cheryl at KDL's Kentwood (Richard L. Root) branch
Amazon Description:
An ancient mystery, a lost letter, and a timeless love unleash a long-buried web of intrigue that spans four centuries
In the late sixteenth century, five brilliant scholars gather under the cloak of darkness to discuss God, politics, astronomy, and the black arts. Known as the School of Night, they meet in secret to avoid the wrath of Queen Elizabeth. But one of the men, Thomas Harriot, has secrets of his own, secrets he shares with one person only: the servant woman he loves.
In modern-day Washington, D.C., disgraced Elizabethan scholar Henry Cavendish has been hired by the ruthless antiquities collector Bernard Styles to find a missing letter. The letter dates from the 1600s and was stolen by Henry's close friend, Alonzo Wax. Now Wax is dead and Styles wants the letter back.
But the letter is an object of interest to others, too. It may be the clue to a hidden treasure; it may contain the long-sought formula for alchemy; it most certainly will prove the existence of the group of men whom Shakespeare dubbed the School of Night but about whom little is known. Joining Henry in his search for the letter is Clarissa Dale, a mysterious woman who suffers from visions that only Henry can understand. In short order, Henry finds himself stumbling through a secretive world of ancient perils, caught up in a deadly plot, and ensnared in the tragic legacy of a forgotten genius.

How Facebook is helping Fox Sports make money off video
Fox Sports joined ESPN as the only media companies running ads against the videos they upload directly to Facebook. For Fox Sports, it's a test. For the NFL, however, it's part of an ongoing deal between the league and the platform. And for Facebook, it's a way for it to crush Twitter and battle YouTube for digital video supremacy.

Copyranter: Digital is destroying all creativity
"News" publishers that viciously, regularly mock BuzzFeed also regularly copy and paste their posts. One of the most vicious (and effective) attackers, Gawker Media, steals BuzzFeed posts so often it makes them look like a sad clown holding a bloody knife. Tech-savvy Digital ad agencies have forced traditional shops to speed up. That part is, partially, a good thing. But a vast majority of these digital agencies are creatively bereft hacks, argues Copyranter: long on buzzwords, short on original concepts.

Viewability is challenging publishers' long-held notions of design
The industry push toward viewability is creating some new design headaches for publishers, which now have redesigned their sites so that their ad units are more visible. It's a slog for most. Optimizing for viewability often, in many cases, means rethinking old assumptions about what makes an ad likely to be seen. One design feature that's out? Putting leaderboards above the logo. Publishers are also dealing with the multitude of viewability vendors, many of which are giving wildly different measurement scores for the same pages.

Why podcasting is having a post-'Serial' moment
Slate's general manager discusses the future of podcasting and Slate's own foray into spinning out a podcast network called Panoply. "Radio in general has limited space," he said. "There's limited time, and they're trying to reach mass audience. Podcasting allows for an incredible amount of diversification."

Way back in June, we first got word of a little rumor that the former Borders retail space at 1800 L Street, Northwest—conveniently located just a block east of The Washingtonian's offices—might be transformed into a (gloriously huge) Nordstrom Rack. Our bargain-loving souls rejoiced. Then in October, we spied the start of construction, and in January, we got confirmation that our hopes were to become reality. Ever since, we've been watching diligently for concrete evidence that the 35,000-square-foot discount store might soon be open for business. Today, we got it: The Nordies sign went up! According to Nordstrom Rack's Facebook page, the store will open its doors at 8 AM on April 18. Visit the page to enter the store's Rule the Rack sweepstakes—30 shoppers will score a $100 gift card, and one lucky person will win a $1,000 shopping spree and a first go at the store on opening day.
It's Happening! Nordstrom Rack Gives Us a Sign of Hope

New to Missouri
I've just recently moved to Lee's Summit, MO from Florida and I had been looking at schools offering the Fire acedemy down there. If anyone has any suggestions of a community college around zip 64063 that may offer it and that I can get financial aid for it would be appreciated.

Stay (03/08/2012) - This was our first time to Cozumel and IslaMar Villas is excellent! Wonderful accommodations with everything necessary. It is so well located to so many fantastic eating locations and far enough away from the craziness of downtown. The staff was excellent Miguel and Zuri took care of everything we needed. The area is so beautiful. Just wish we had more time. We will definitely be back. Hopefully sooner than later. Thanks for everything and making our first time in Cozumel so memorable. Gracias
Jeremy & Meghan M. ~ Indianapolis, IN
Stay (04/18/2012) - We have been coming here for years now and this is the only place we would stay in Cozumel! Zuri, Sherri & Manuel are so welcoming and will do anything for you! What a perfect paradise here! Love the remodeling! Looking forward to our next trip.
Greg & Glenda W. ~ Austin, TX
Stay (01/09/2013) - Our eight (8) nights here in #2 Villa were really enjoyable and relaxing. The weather could not have been nicer for being outside or walking to town or in the neighborhood. The hole fish at Carlos was delicious, food at Los Palmos divine and local mom and pop restaurants worth the visit. Zuri is very special and does a great job of cleaning and so pleasant each day.
Kathy & Tom S. ~ Grand Rapids, OH
Stay (03/10/2012) - Nowhere could be any better than this! We eat at the suggested places and of course more! Love that we can cook here and have such great amenities to have our own Cerveza in the fridge at all times! The diving, as always, was OUTSTANDING! Miguel, Zuri and Don Juan are such wonderful people and have become our friends. It is always like coming home for us. Seeing the smiling faces around here so adds to what IslaMar is A HOME! Love you guys! And GRACIAS!
Alan & Lori B. ~ Des Moines, IA
Stay (01/18/2014) - The only sad thing about our vacation is that we have to leave. Wonderful villa, comfortable and roomy. Pool is greet too! Visit Sherris Palmar beach club, snorkeling is out of this world there! You see different fish and all sorts of interesting marine life each time youre in the water. Close to everything, a small taxi fare to the waterfront. We also have to mention the great people we met here, both patrons and staff. Zuri, your smile and flexibility were very much appreciated. Thank you Sherri and Mauricio for making us part of your villa.

Masters of Sex: Season 2 (2014)
Critics Consensus: Boasting an expanded storyline and broader focus, Masters of Sex's second season improves on its already outstanding predecessor.

Season 2 begins with Masters dealing with the ramifications of his disastrous presentation and being fired from the hospital. Meanwhile, Libby urges Masters to get another job; and Virginia fights off advances and innuendos stemming from the belief that she was the woman in Master's explicit film.
Masters begins a new job at Memorial Hospital under Betty's extortion terms only to discover that his boss insists he leave Virginia behind in favor of a handpicked secretary. Meanwhile, Johnson is torn between pressing Masters to rehire her and staying by DePaul's side as her condition worsens.
Johnson tries to cover when she and Masters are seen by Langham leaving a hotel together after an evening tryst. Later, Masters attempts to bring Johnson aboard as his assistant at his new post; and Betty tries to conceal her infertility from Gene, over Masters' objections.

Meanwhile, Johnson is forced to accept DePaul's choice to end her chemotherapy treatments; Gene learns the truth about Betty and Helen's relationship; and Libby fires Coral after discovering she lied about Robert being her lover.
Masters becomes impotent without Johnson's knowledge, after learning that she is continuing to have romantic relationships with other men, so he cuts off their sexual work together.

All Critics (31) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (30) | Rotten (1)
While viewers may tune in at first for the sex, it's the series' complicated human emotions that make it one of the best shows on TV.
[Showrunner Michelle Ashford] is admirably experimenting with how a period piece that's true to history can also include the stories and perspectives of sexual and racial minorities.
Masters of Sex is the show you want to love and yet with every passing episode, there's one less reason to try.
Masters of Sex doesn't get nearly as much attention as it deserves.
Like Mad Men, another cable period drama, Masters of Sex is good at making broad points about what we know now versus what we knew then.
Masters of Sex is back for more sultry, stifled, passive-agressive, sex study goodness.
Masters of Sex begins its sophomore season with some outstanding performances and big plot turns, although its dramatic subtlety has started to wane.
With lead characters this complex, showrunner Michelle Ashford has plenty of material to plumb for episodes to come.
Together [the characters] have a slightly unsettling chemistry that, despite the weirdness of their characters, feels real.
The opening episode of Season 2, "Parallax" was one of the better premieres I've seen this calendar year.
It was an intense first episode back but one that made me really intrigued for Masters of Sex Season 2.
That's what makes Masters of Sex so heartbreaking, beautiful and funny simultaneously. There are no clear cut villains or heroes, just people being people and it's something Ashford should never change.
[It] remains the rare show willing to dissect the stodgy constructs of polite society... It proves that the world as we know it doesn't need to end to inspire moments of beauty and horror. It just needs to be undressed a little.
I'm super-excited about the show this season, and intrigued to see how things will play out, even if we know how they will to a certain point already. As they say, it's all about the journey, not the destination. And what a journey it's been so far.
The main story of Bill and Virginia's relationship remains wonderfully opaque.
All the tertiary characters and extraneous storylines only served to clutter what was otherwise an excellent season premiere. If only the show would learn to embrace that plateau stage with the knowledge that that's a necessary step towards the big O.
After a stunning debut season, Masters of Sex, the brilliantly evocative drama about sex researchers Masters & Johnson, continues to amaze.
You, pardon the expression, come for the eroticism and nudity, but stay for the "will they or won't they" between Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan).
It is intelligent, witty, quick-paced and surprising; it is tragic without being emotionally devastating.
Masters & Johnson returns for a second season with all of its charms intact, juggling an assortment of plots built around sexuality, including the inherent lie in how the principals try to characterize their ongoing affair as "research."
Despite its frank treatment of sexual topics, Masters of Sex has an undeniably gentle, beguiling quality. It's part period drama, part soap opera, part societal commentary. The first two parts of that equation make the third part palatable.
The psychological richness of Masters of Sex positions it to be a worthy successor to the fast-fading (except in Emmy voters' eyes) Mad Men.
The best news is that this intelligently complex, beautifully shot and performed series comes back in top form, with a perfect match of style to substance that explores Masters' and Johnson's different reactions to his appearance at her doorstep.
Masters of Sex has much more on its mind than simply the tumultuous relationship between its two famous central characters. But if it just had those two, it would still be among the best things you could watch on television this summer.
Like all relationships, Masters and Johnson will surge forward, and as history has already made apparent, some good research will come out of this ill-fitting romance.
Trying to find the words to adequately express how elegantly Masters Of Sex has matured into its second season is difficult.
For a show about sex and attraction, Masters of Sex is very cerebral, measured, distanced. But so are its characters, who use their intellects to protect their vulnerabilities.
Showing people having sex while wired up to machines may have gotten viewers in the door, but it's the characters and the performances that should keep them there.
Better, richer, more compelling than season one.
Season two of Masters of Sex is no more or less disappointing than a grand seduction that concludes with a minute-long roll in the hay.
The performances of Sheen, Caplan, Janney and Bridges rival those in any ongoing TV series. Satisfaction is guaranteed -- even if none of the principals ever experience a true measure of it.
Audience Reviews for Masters of Sex: Season 2
This season continued the good tradition of the first one, expanding the 50s attention to detail and great chemistry between the leads, even if they're still douches and tough to swallow characters. But that's the point. They're human and deeply flawed and these aspects connect very well with their study and motivations to keep it going.
Still, there's just way too many characters that are thrown out of the picture too soon. Helene Yorke was doing an amazing work last season and she's on a cameo here, for just one episode. And many more things like this that made me really sad. Plus, it uses the same technic for every character to reveal their past or deep flaw, with on long scene of exposition, where they broke down and cry. it's a bit cheap and doesn't work that well, aided by the fact that some of these stories don't connect very well with the main arc.
