Bergson had great appeal because he was talking about intuition. He was anti-intellect. But all that he says is intellectual. The intuition is not his experience.
Zen insists on existential experience. You will find many things which appear to be like Zen but you will never find anything that is really like Zen. It may be apparently so, but intrinsically it is not. On the surface it may be so, yes, the container may be the same - but the content is absolutely different.
William Barrett recalls that a friend of his went to see Martin Heidegger, the great German philosopher. When he went to see him Martin Heidegger was reading one of Suzuki's books. The friend naturally inquired about his interest in Suzuki and Zen, and the philosopher said, "If I understand this man correctly this is what I have been. trying to say in all my writings."
But Martin Heidegger is again thinking, philosophizing, theorizing. He is a great philosopher - just like Bergson, even more fundamental than Bergson, very profound in his writings, depths upon depths open - but he is far away from any satori or samadhi, he is far away from any enlightenment.
And sometimes he will behave as foolishly as any ordinary human being. When Adolf Hitler became very, very powerful Heidegger became one of his supporters. A buddha supporting Adolf Hitler? Impossible! This Martin Heidegger became a fascist. He behaved like an ordinary man with no understanding and no insight.
These are the moments when you see it is very easy to talk about great things, but to show your understanding in your day-to-day life.. How wondrous to carry fuel, how wondrous to draw water - into small things that understanding has to penetrate. Your ordinary life has to become luminous, your every moment has to become a light unto itself.
All that profundity was meaningless, proved futile, was not really there. He was as much a fanatic German as any other German. The others can be forgiven but not Martin Heidegger.
It happened exactly like that here. Indira Gandhi was slowly, slowly turning into a dictator and Acharya Vinoba Bhave was supporting her. He was interpreting her dictatorship as a great experiment in discipline: a great age had started, the age of discipline.
You can interpret dictatorship as discipline very easily, and in this, Vinoba Bhave showed his insight - he had none.
Remember, you have to watch people's being, not what they philosophize about. Philosophies don't go anywhere, they are just verbal games in the mind.

Landscaping with wood chips (just for laughs)
Thought I would share some progress in the part of our front yard along the front walk. I'm excited enough not to feel too embarrassed at the lack of perfection and can laugh at some of my really bad choices that have led us to this, even after living here 11 years!
What I had always hoped would be a beautiful walk of perennials/small shrubs in a "natural" presentation just looked...terrible. Terrible and weedy, and out of control, and shameful. My husband prefers manicured, minimalist, and static. But instead it was this (a year ago at the beginning of last spring):
So we decided to get rid of it, tilling and laying plastic for almost a year, then tilling again, then plastic for another couple months:
Trust me, the plastic was an IMPROVEMENT LOL! :-) If nothing else, it looked like we were working on the yard.
And now, for starters it's LEVEL!
I think it will have a simpler look with the expanse of green from the groundcover. The citrus are mainly because we really wanted to grow more but out of sunny places in the backyard (unless we tear out our little lawn, but with two boys ages 8 and 4 a little lawn is very useful)
Along the walk is a Yosemite Gold dwarf mandarin tree (and a dwarf Bearss lime on the far right of the pic, hard to see). We left the little "vignette" of artemesia (I don't remember the variety but it does well and has wider leaves than normal), yarrow, and some iris. And then lots of little starts of white myoporum groundcover from a flat. And I'll let you in on a secret: there is still some plastic there, just under the wood chips in areas we did not plant. For weed control (for a while).
Closer to the house, shaded in the photos, in a very short raised bed, strawberries!!! And behind the strawberries, like a "foundation planting", a sad row of gardenias. Covering the dirt: wood chips. But it looks like we landscaped with wood chips and have some "accent plants"!
We were planning to put a path along the front of the strawberry bed, but for now it's wood chips. I have a few homeless dwarf daylilies, and I might just clear a few spaces and plant them "temporarily" until the path is installed (the path might not be installed for another year or more, since we really want to tackle the awful driveway pavers next).
For 10 years I had a 'Veitchii' gardenia right next to the front door, and it has always done well. It's shown in the photo on the left side, and under it is a nice patch of baby tears groundcover. The baby tears generally dry up in the summer sun.
In an attempt to simplify, my husband and I agreed to have a row of 'Veitchii' gardenias all along the front, so I took out the other plants (hydrangea, dwarf agapanthus...I forget what else) and we planted gardenias to be like an informal, evergreen, low hedge.
Looking at the photo, I can see I still have a few things out there to clean up ;-) And there is still a clump or two of italian arum that's got to go.
Of course, now the 10 years old gardenia is VERY unhappy, drying up and dropping leaves. I don't know what's wrong with it, maybe just too much action/change around it, maybe too much water. And the new gardenias are not doing so well either. So...maybe I'll have to find something else that will be evergreen, enjoy shade for most of the day and then hot afternoon sun, and only grow 3-4' tall/wide. I do want to grow something in there, our sewer clean out is right there, on center with the front window. Ew.
Our front yard has always been a challenge because we face north-west and all the areas by the house are shade most of the day with afternoon sun. But this was a happy surprise! I have a potted schefflera that, unfortunately, took a cold hit this winter. It's slowly coming back, and one of the nasturtium seeds I planted in the pot LAST year, in hopes of some fun bright color, sprouted THIS spring! I adore nasturtiums but do not have much luck growing them in my yard.
Just wanted to show that we are making some progress and I truly appreciate all the helpful comments the folks here have offered over the years, even if my implementation was less than stellar.
I love how you are including edibles. :). We moved to the Midwest from ca four years ago and I really miss picking oranges and lemons from the yard.
The wood chips do give a nice tidy look. I hope your gardenia rebounds .
Thanks -- I can't wait for everything to fill in, I think it will look a lot better with groundcover over the area. I think the gardenia will pull through, it seems like a main branch died but not the whole shrub. Not sure what's going on, but i'm okay to just patiently wait and see.

A dewlap is the flap of fat and skin that hangs down under the jaws of many vertebrates. The term can also refer to other structures in the same area of the body like the vocal sac of a frog.Know More
Dewlaps serve varying purposes for different animals. Lizards can inflate and deflate their dewlaps to communicate with other lizards. Female rabbits develop dewlaps when they are ready to reproduce. They often pull fur from their dewlaps to line their nests for their young. Moose use the dewlap to scent-mark females and that the size of a moose's dewlap may indicate its dominance level.Learn more in Pets
Mange in dogs is treated by first isolating the infected animal, then treating it with antiparisitic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic medications to help restore skin to a healthy condition and prevent the mange from recurring, as noted by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The effectiveness of these treatments depends heavily on the health of the dog.Full Answer >
An Abyssinian guinea pig is similar to a common guinea pig, except the Abyssinian guinea pig has rosettes. Rosettes are cowlicked patches of fur that cover the body of the animal. Many Abyssinian guinea pigs have 10 rosettes, but some only have eight. These animals range in color, and they have silky, shiny fur, unlike common guinea pigs, which typically have rough, short fur.Full Answer >

The most boring exhibit I ever saw in any of the Washington, DC Smithsonian museums was, without a doubt, the gowns of the First Ladies. Oh, how I could not have cared less. But my mother preened over them like she'd just found some rare bird egg sitting under her window. Helen Taft? Grace Coolidge? Elizabeth Monroe? I didn't care about their dresses, and I certainly didn't know who they were as women. On top of that, weren't First Ladies just... housewives in a really nice house?

Disconnects after character screen
This has been going for me now for a while.
I just created a Klingon character and was disconnected during the initial quest. Logged back in, character select comes up fine. Selected the Klingon character, immediately disconnected. Logged back in, selected my Federation character, and now it's on a permanent loading screen. The bar is honestly not moving.
I've been patient so far but come on already.
Disconnected again...now the launcher doesn't load a page. The forums are nearly at a halt, and the website is crawling. Tracing to the website is fine, less than 50ms the whole way.
Hopefully you all get this smoothed out by tomorrow....please...

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Christmas is not about the gifts. Christmas is about the gold-plated Christmas tree. A Tokyo jewelry store is selling the tree for $4.2 million, a price tag explained not only by the steep price of gold, but also by the craftsmanship. A team of workers decorated this tree with handcrafted Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Cinderella. For those on a budget, there is a smaller version of the tree for a quarter million dollars. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Woman wins court order against 1972 Idaho abortion law
Sep 23, 2011, 8:35 p.m.
By Laura Zuckerman
SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - An Idaho woman prosecuted for terminating her own pregnancy with abortion pills she ordered online won a temporary court order on Friday barring enforcement of the decades-old law under which she was charged.
But the federal judge in the case also rebuffed her separate bid to block a newly enacted state law that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy unless there is proof the woman's life is in danger.
On that issue U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill ruled that Jennie Linn McCormack, 33, lacked legal standing to seek a temporary restraining order against Idaho's new "fetal pain" abortion law because she was no longer pregnant and could not demonstrate imminent harm from the statute.
Her lawsuit is believed to be the first federal court case challenging any of several late-term abortion bans enacted in Idaho and five other states the past two years, based on controversial medical research suggesting a fetus feels pain starting at 20 weeks of gestation.
McCormack's lawyer, Richard Hearn, said he would press to establish his client's standing at a future hearing on the new law, which was passed by the Republican-led Legislature and signed by Republican Governor Butch Otter in April.
The suit, filed by McCormack in August, stems from a criminal charge brought against the Pocatello mother of three -- and later dismissed for lack of evidence by a judge -- under a 1972 Idaho law making it a felony for a woman to end her own pregnancy.
Because that criminal case could technically be refiled against her, Winmill ruled that McCormack did have standing to seek a court order against further enforcement of the measure.
He also ruled that McCormack was likely to succeed on the merits of her claim that the 40-year-old statute poses an unconstitutional barrier to her rights to seek an abortion.
Although the temporary restraining order he granted technically applies only to Bannock County prosecutors, Hearn said it would in effect keep the law from being enforced anywhere in the state for the time being.
Such an occurrence seems unlikely. County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Hiedeman said the case he brought against McCormack marked the first time in his 27 years as a prosecutor that he had ever invoked the 1972 statute. He also said he was not sure it was ever applied elsewhere in Idaho.
The two-pill abortion medication known as RU486 has been legally available in the United States since 2000, and by 2008 accounted for about one-fourth of U.S. abortions performed before nine weeks gestation, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights think tank.
As approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the two drugs -- mifepristone and misoprostol -- can be obtained from a physician and are not available in pharmacies. The medication is generally indicated for pregnancies of less than eight weeks.
Prosecutors said McCormack terminated her own pregnancy using abortion pills she obtained from an online distributor at between 20 and 21 weeks on December 24, 2010. Hearn has said she believed she was getting the pills from a legitimate medical provider.
Similar late-term abortion bills were adopted this year in four other states besides Idaho -- Alabama, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma. All were modeled after the "fetal pain" bill enacted last year in Nebraska, according to abortion rights advocates.

All 124 FBS college football teams ranked, Florida State Seminoles & Oregon State Beavers number one?
Originally written on College Football Universe | Last updated 11/18/14
Here are all 124 FBS college football teams ranked according to the Fair Ranking System (full explanation here). The system is not based on which teams are perceived as the best, but on which teams are the most worthy of their ranking. A team is basically ranked according to who they beat and who they had beaten defeated as well as who they lost to and who they lost to were beaten by. The ranking does not include Thursday's games.Through five weeks, the Florida State Seminoles and the Oregon State Beavers are tied for number one according to the Fair Ranking System true wins. It makes sense if you look further into their ranking. The Beavers have defeated two AP Top 25 teams and another solid team in Arizona while the Seminoles beat three solid teams including one top 25 opponent despite beginning the season against a couple cupcakes. The Oklahoma Sooners are the most overrated team in the polls according to the Fair Ranking System. The Sooners are only ranked 60th in true wins, but...

Skillets - how many, which sizes
I have been using primarily an 8" Analon Titanium and a Target store type 12/13" "teflon" skillet for a long time. Recently I bought a 12" Demeyere as my virgin venture into stainless steel. I am single, cook mainly for myself on a regular basis and occasionally for friends.
I want to replace the 8" Analon and have decided to get another one.
How many frying pans/skillets do you have? Would you replace the 12" cheap non-stick with a better one? Would you go with a different size?
I have to say, the Demeyere is very heavy for me. So I was wondering should I get another 12" Titanium? Get a french skillet/saute pan (but why would I want a teflon one? Maybe a 10" fry pan? can't decide)
I think I'm finally happy with my current range of pans. I have a good quality non-stick 9" (purchased at a discounter) that I use only for eggs. It is perfect for a 3-egg omelette, and I think this is the max size needed for this purpose.
Otherwise, I have an assortment of cast iron ones. One is about 10-12" and is only used for big quantities. The others are about 8-9". Cast iron is heavy, but very cheap for the quality it delivers. I've finally learned how to season and care for it. I grew up in a house where Mom washed EVERYTHING in soap&water, so I never really appreciated CI until I moved out and did some on-line research. Its weight can be a challenge - my CI wok lives permanently on the stovetop because it is huge and I can't be bothered to stow it anywhere.
I've finally learned to avoid pot/pan sets. While this seems to be the way many retailers like to sell cookware, I find that my fav cooking pots are very different materials to my fav fry pans.
I have an electric stove and probably always will though I do move around and may end up with a gas range now and again. Electric smooth tops are my favs though, or plain electric. I love cooking on gas but hate the cleaning more.
There are usually 2 large burners (1 forward 1 back) though so I don't see that as an issue?
May or may not be an issue, depending.
For example, typical coil-top ranges have large burners that are 7 1/2" across. A 12" skillet will typically not be heated evenly with that differential. Many smooth-tops have large burners at 9" or 10" which makes a big difference. Many gas ranges have burners that heat the outer diameters of big skillets quite well but don't heat the center worth a darn.
It does depend on the range and fuel-type to a considerable degree. Also depends on the ability of the pan itself to spread the heat it receives. All mixed up that way.
I have a 6 burner gas rangetop, so I have the room for dupes.
I have two 12" nonstick, two 12" SS, one 10" SS, one 10" nonstick, and one 8" anodized aluminum. The 8" anodized is only for manicotti crepes. The 10" nonstick is used mainly for eggs. The 10" SS was part of a started set, and I use it for sautéing small quantities other than that, it is not used much because of its size.
I bought the 12" SS pans in pairs because for large meals, I prefer to cook all at once without emptying the pan to make room for a second batch. Same reason for the 12" nonstick shortens cooking time.
I prefer to have the same brand/style pan if using both to cook the same foods simultaneously less guess work for me to learn how a pan responds, etc. I am lazy :)
I have three skillets - small, medium and my large fryer. It has the helper handle, so not too heavy to pick up. I have the Emeril (by All Clad) Hard Anodized (???). It works wonderfully. I don;t put them in the dishwasher since they are sooooo easy to clean. I also have several cast iron skillets. I only use these to cook cornbread in the oven now. They are not recommended for smooth tops. I got the set on cookware and then added a couple of other pieces. Food Network now has a very nice line. That's what I filled in with.
Good luck on finding what you want.

"The quality of the magnet was excellent along with the wonderful photo reproduction. The product was shipped within a few days of the order. We received many compliments from family and friends who received this Save the Date magnet. I would highly recommend this product and will order from Wedding Divas again."
"We ordered these because they were the ideal design we were looking for. What really makes this website amazing is the customization they offer for everything. We got these to match our wedding colors perfectly and the fact that they let you review the order before they print them is fantastic. Don't forget about the fast delivery and other services wedding paper divas offers."
"Love these magnets! I was a little skeptical when we put the order in, but they're just gorgeous and the designers were easy to work with in accommodating our variation on the design."
"I was very surprised when I recieved these products in the mail. They were absolutely beautiful and excatly what I asked for. The picture quality was a little grainy but it still got the point across and it really wasn't that big of a deal."
"I personalized this by changing the font color to navy. They came out fantastic! We've gotten several compliments and I am obsessed with them. They were shipped fast and customer service was very helpful with letting me know about postage. (The magnets can be mailed with a standard stamp)."
