|Did the job, but it's too expensive
|Reviewed By Wei Cher, 14 Oct 2012
Did the job, but it's too expensive. Would recommend just using the compass & clinometer app on your phone if you do not need such high accuracy. Comparing with an iPhone & a HTC One X it was only about 1 deg off or the bearing and the phones did a better job with the clinometer since you get a digital reading.
|Best ever

Bravo Fashion queens host Bevy Smith went on Arise TV to give her thoughts on the Golden Globes red carpet. For the occasion, the style maven slipped on a $985 Peter Pilotto Isabel long sleeved dress:
She added a belt to define her waist, and applied a berry lip to bring the look together.
Like it? Purchase at MyTheresa.com.

I'm tired of Bevy wearing clothes that are too small. Any fashion maven would know better.
Respectively I have to disagree! I think the dress fits her nice and I love that she added the belt as a distraction which works for her.
Yes Darling! I live for Mother Bevy!!! Her personality is amazing!
Thank heavens she has herself covered. She typically has on something too low cut that makes her look super cheap. This dress is flattering and ladylike.

FARADAY SCHOOL DISCIPLINE AND EXCLUSIONS IN SCHOOL (BEHAVIOUR POLICY) Created June 2009 FARADAY JUNIOR SCHOOL: DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL Aims To develop a whole school behaviour policy supported and followed by the whole school community, parents, staff, children and governors, based on a sense of community and shared values of this Christian based school. To apply positive policies to create a caring, family atmosphere in which teaching and learning can take place in a safe and happy environment. To teach, through the school curriculum, values and attitudes as well as knowledge and skills. (This will promote responsible behaviour, encourage self-discipline and encourage in children a respect for themselves, for other people and for property.) To encourage good behaviour rather than to simply punish bad behaviour by providing a range of rewards for children of all ages and abilities. To make clear to children the distinction between minor and more serious misbehaviour and the range of sanctions that will follow. To treat problems when they occur in a caring and sympathetic manner in the hope of achieving an improvement in behaviour. Corporal punishment is not permitted. Code of Conduct All members of the school community are asked to respect each other; Children are expected to respect staff, other adults and fellow pupils; they should address staff by their title and surname, and be encouraged to be polite at all times; Children are expected to respect their own and other people's property and to take care of books and equipment; Children are asked to be well-behaved, well-mannered and attentive; Whilst in school, children are expected to walk quietly along corridors and move carefully on stairs; If a child has a grievance against another child, it must be reported to a member of staff who will deal with the matter; Rough play will not be tolerated in the playground and children who are found playing inappropriately are made to 'sit out' on one of the playground benches; Physical violence is not acceptable, neither is retaliation. Repeated or serious incidents will lead to suspension and possible exclusion; Foul or abusive language must not be used; Bullying is not tolerated in school (See anti-bullying policy) Children are expected to be punctual; Children must not bring sharp or dangerous instruments to school, or any item that might cause a problem; Children from Reception should wear the correct school uniform. Jewellery should not be worn, except in certain specific cases where jewellery is required at certain times of the year in conjunction with specific religious festivals. Parents need to be aware that in these rare Created June 2009 FARADAY JUNIOR SCHOOL: DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL circumstances their child may be asked to either remove or cover up the jewellery for sports lessons where the health and safety of the child or indeed other children is a risk. If this is not possible, the child will be required to sit out for the lesson. Hair attire should be simple and preferably in school colours. Named watches may be worn from Year 2. At the end of the day, children remain with the member of staff in charge of the class until parents/guardians come to collect them from their designated area (varies according to class). Children should say 'good afternoon' before being dismissed. They should leave the school in a proper manner and remain with the adult collecting them. This code of conduct has been formulated with the safety and well-being of the children in mind, and to enable the school to function efficiently as a place of learning. Any variations must be arranged with the Head. Incentive Scheme A major aim of the school policy is to encourage children to practise good behaviour by operating a system of praise and reward. This is for all children. From Reception, the Faraday School scheme is based on merit awards through which children can be rewarded for academic and non-academic achievements, for effort and for being caring, and for all aspects of good work and behaviour. The children are divided into four House colours, with family groups remaining in the same House. Children are awarded stars for thoughtfulness, being helpful, good work etc. On attaining five stars, a child receives a merit award sticker from the Head. Stars awarded to each house are counted up at the end of the week, and the winning house is announced in assembly. Each child contributing to the house stands and the group receives applause from the rest of the school. We hope that children will encourage members of their house to try their best in every aspect of school life. If a child receives three merit awards in a term, he/she receives a house certificate as a sign of particular contribution to their house, and if a child receives five merit awards in a term, he/she receives a special pencil in assembly. In addition, individual certificates celebrating achievements will be awarded throughout the year, for example, when a Reception child is able to read 50 words, or for achievements in swimming, music etc. Incentive stickers are available for everyone. In addition, each class teacher gives verbal or written praise as often as possible. Some classes have a subsidiary system of encouragement, for instance, three 'smiles' equal a gold star. Children are encouraged to display their achievements in and out of school in assemblies and in class. Most children respond to this positive approach where their efforts are seen to be valued, and make considerable efforts to improve their work, and, where necessary, their behaviour. If a child performs well in any of these areas, he/she is awarded a gold star, which is placed on a five- pointed yellow star. Consequences of Poor Behaviour Sadly, there will be times when children need support to behave in an appropriate manner. Children need to discover where the bounds of acceptable behaviour lie, as this is a part of growing up. Minor breaches of discipline are generally dealt with by the class Colleague in a caring, supportive and fair manner, with some flexibility regarding age of the child, as far as sanctions are concerned. Created June 2009 FARADAY JUNIOR SCHOOL: DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL Each case is treated individually. Generally children are made aware that they are responsible for their own actions and that breaking rules will lead to consequences. Normal consequences include a verbal reprimand and reminder of expected behaviour, loss of stars, loss of free time such as playtimes (when a constructive occupation will be given), moving to sit alone, sending work home, letters of apology and/or loss of responsibility. If problems are persistent or recurring, parents will be involved. Children may then be placed on a daily or weekly report system to monitor their behaviour in partnership with the parents. Procedures for Dealing with Major Breaches of Discipline Major breaches of discipline include physical assault, deliberate damage to property, persistent bullying, stealing, leaving the school premises without permission, verbal abuse, refusal to work and disruptive behaviour in class. This type of behaviour is generally rare and it is the responsibility of the Head who will deal with it appropriately, particularly if the problem keeps recurring. The standard procedure for this sort of problem follows a set pattern. Failure to improve leads automatically to the next stage, each stage is recorded. A verbal warning by the Head or most senior member of staff in the Head's absence, as to future conduct; Withdrawal from the classroom for part of or the rest of the day; A letter or phone call to parents informing them of the problem; A meeting with parents, and a warning given regarding the next stage unless there is an improvement in the child's behaviour; If the problem is severe or recurring then suspension procedures are implemented; In a case where exclusion is deemed necessary, a member of the Governing Board will be consulted first; A case conference involving parents will follow; Permanent exclusion will only take place after consultation with the Governing Board; Parents have the right of appeal to the Governing Board against any decision to exclude. NB – Any major breach of discipline or serious problem may result parents being asked to take their child home immediately. Parents Parents can help: By recognising that an effective school behaviour policy requires close partnership between parents, staff and children; By discussing the school rules with their child, emphasising their support of them and assisting when possible with their enforcement; By attending Parents' Meetings, parents' functions and by developing informal contacts with school; Created June 2009 FARADAY JUNIOR SCHOOL: DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL By acknowledging that learning and teaching cannot take place without sound discipline; By remembering that staff deal with behaviour problems patiently and positively. Care and Control of Children At all times staff should encourage good behaviour through praise and rewards. No member of staff must in any way physically chastise a child. If the child is about to cause bodily harm to his/herself or another child, or a member of staff, it may be necessary to restrain the child. If there is a need for sanctions then the following may be used, depending on each child's needs: Redirect him or her to another activity; Talk to the child – discuss what has happened; Discussion in groups or whole class; Move the child from the group to work on his/her own; Repeat work; Miss playtime (but must be supervised); Behaviour modification programme – setting targets; Remove child from the class – place with Head or in another class; Parental involvement; Daily report; Sanctions as in discipline policy. Serious incidents are recorded in the child's individual file. No child should be made to stand outside a room on their own unsupervised. Challenging Behaviour Challenging behaviour can take the form of: Verbal abuse Physical abuse Assault Defiant refusal Absconding Preventative Strategies See sanctions above and discipline policy procedures. Intervention If a child violently attacks another child or adult and does not respond to requests to calm down, then physical restraint may be necessary. The child should be removed from the situation as soon as possible and taken to the Head or a member of the Leadership Team who will take immediate action to involve parents. An incident report should be written and the situation discussed with the Head or member of the Leadership Team. The Head or member of the Leadership Team will work with the member of staff and parents to devise an action plan to meet that child's needs. This may include the involvement of other agencies – social services, psychological service etc. Behaviour Modification Policy Created June 2009 FARADAY JUNIOR SCHOOL: DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL At Faraday School, most of the children are well behaved. There are, however, occasions when individual children exhibit behaviour which is unacceptable. As part of the approach within our Discipline Policy of rewards and sanctions we use behaviour modification strategies to change individual children's behaviour. These are used by all staff. Each child is different, so it is important that the cause of the behaviour is investigated and plans made to meet individual needs. A wide range of rewards are used to reinforce positive behaviour. These can include: Change in classroom organisation; Using different resources; Using short term targets when small steps are devised for each child (eg sitting on chair for given length of time or putting hand up to answer questions); Rewards of stars/smiley faces on work, on charts or in special books; Use of certificates, special stickers for such things as listening, being kind, helpful etc; Sharing good behaviour with other children/other classes; Celebrating achievement in assembly; Involving parents at an early stage to develop an action plan together. By using a positive system of rewards, and reinforcing good behaviour we help children to feel good about themselves. Mrs S Counter Head Created June 2009

HTTPSSSSS is a Barrier per Exellance! Https blocks Websites I with to visit, and this Evil spreeds araound the Internet. HTTP should be the STANDARD. Software should be dowbnloadable as .tar.gz or .zop Files without any hassle or barrier like cvs, git or other "obfuscation". I wish to build me an Linux-from-Scratch, but WIHTOUT systemd, without GNOME and KDE. Linux should be a free Unix-like System, according to the philosophy of Keep-it-Simple, best solutions are easy to understand and to configurable - just with plain.text files, and NOT with "something" obfuscated like "systemd", udev, and the "Destops". I wish the a Linux back that I loved in the 90er years, full of ideas and free software developped by hobbiists. Why are Videos on Youtube, but not on the Website linux.com to download? From Youtube I can not download anything. I wish Linux should be better, and without all the ugly thinngs from Gnome, KDE and so on. I hopoe, the Standard for software should be tar.gz file, and not "something", where I cannot download the clean sourcecode. I hope that the "autotools" should be deprecated, because this is a Obfuscation of the Software-Build-process. I want to undestand, how to build software, and want to learn how I can write plain makefiles by maself. A Howto is missing - an Howto about building software, avoiding the Dependenca-hell, making "systemd-ec-tomy" (removing dependency to systemd), and remove dependencies to Gnome or KDE.

Stearman: Mick a Massive Draw
Friday, 1st Feb 2013 06:02
New loan signing Richard Stearman admits he is delighted to have teamed up again with Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor.
All three were previously together at Wolves, which had a huge part to play in the defender's decision to leave Molineux and join Town on loan in his quest for regular first-team football.
Former England U21 international Stearman revealed: "As soon as the January transfer window opened Mick expressed an interest, I think, which was rebuffed by Wolves and I thought that was it.
"But I finished training on Monday and I was told I was needed at Portman Road – and here I am. Mick was obviously a massive draw in me coming here. He's certainly a fighter and a winner who knows how to win games in this division
"As I think you have seen since he's arrived here, he has picked up a lot of points and hopefully that will continue."
Wolverhampton-born Stearman, 25, is lavish in his praise for McCarthy, who was sacked by Wolves 11 months ago and remained out of work until he was unveiled as Paul Jewell's successor at Portman Road on November 1st.
He added: "Mick's record speaks for itself. His man-management is very good, his coaching is very good, he's got the complete package. He's been in and around the Championship for a long time, he's been in the Premiership and he's been an international manager.
"He brings a great deal of experience to whatever club he's at and I was delighted to join back up with him. You certainly know where you stand with the gaffer. If you play well you know about it and if you don't you know about it as well. It definitely didn't put me off because I like that in a manager."

HOUMA -- Did you flip burgers? Take movie tickets? Mow grass in the Louisiana heat?
The summer jobs we had as young people weren't usually glamorous, but taught plenty of life lessons just the same.
We're looking to interview folks about their favorite summer jobs and what they learned for possible inclusion in a feature story.

New students
Fall '15 new student and transfer housing applications
Housing applications will go live 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 8.
Signing up is easy:
- Once you begin the application process for spring 2015 you will be asked to read the housing license, review your personal details and enter at least one emergency contact.
- You will be able to indicate whether you require break housing or would prefer our special housing options (i.e. Break housing is a great option for international students, athletes, out-of-state-students, working students and others who need to remain on campus during the four breaks when residence halls close.)
- Freshmen will be asked to prioritize preferences among our five traditional residential communities. Transfers will be able to prioritize among our five traditional residential communities and our two apartment-style residential communities, so be sure to review the options on our website if you have not done so already.
Important Note: before you can access and sign up for housing, you must activate your Binghamton University Computer Account and e-mail account at password.binghamton.edu.
Returning students
2015-16 returning student housing room change process
When the housing system reopens at 9 a.m. March 19, the room selection and room change processes will not be 'group' processes. Students should log into the returning student housing system as individuals. Changing your room assignment for 2015-16 does not change the room assignments of other members in your group. If you want to change rooms as a group, each person should log into the housing system and do the room change at the same time to ensure that the beds are available. The room change process ends on April 3 at 5 p.m.
Graduate students
Fall '15 returning graduate student housing
Adirondack House is reserved for graduate students. Between March 19th and April 3rd returning graduate students may sign up on our website.

Talk:Buddhism in the United States
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|This article has an assessment summary page.
- 1 Geshe Kelsang Gyatso only Western Disciples?

- 3 Thoreau and the Lotus Sutra
- 4 First Buddhist High School in the United States

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso only Western Disciples?[edit]
I removed a false statement stating that all of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's disciples are Westerners. Geshe Kelsang has many disciples in Eastern countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore. If you need evidence of this fact please visit: [The Hong Kong Kadampa Center Page]
I also removed a false statement stating the the NKT is focused primarily on Western needs. Please show evidence that the NKT states this. Visit [kadampa.org] you will see that the NKT is Global Buddhism. Not Western Buddhism and not Tibetan Buddhism. Kadampa Buddhism doesn't belong to any particular culture.
Please try to check your facts before making false statements.
I added the text stating that the NKT has over 50 Centers and branches in the United States. If you would like to check the validity of this statement visit [kadampa.org]
Page Title[edit]
Perhaps this article would be better titled "Buddhism in the United States". TheCoffee 08:25, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. (can't login right now)
- My main reason for naming the article Buddhism in America rather than Buddhism in the United States was that I didn't necessarily want to exclude information relating to Canada where relevant. A more precise title might be Buddhism in the English- and French-speaking portions of North America, including Hawaii, although, in practice, I have somewhat limited information about the history of Buddhism in Canada and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to say about it (since North American Buddhist history is kind of concentrated in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York). I would appreciate it if someone else would add interesting Canada-related facts when possible. Moreover, I think that it is both un-aesthetic and slightly misleading to use the term "United States" when the subject is purely social or cultural, rather than related to politics or civics. - Nat Krause 19:56, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Clarity is what matters. I found this in the Canadian menu and thought it might need retitling Buddhism in the Americas. There is a separate article about Buddhism in Canada. I am going to move this one. CalJW 13:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
A couple comments about the current state of the article (basically reiterating what I said on Talk:Buddhism last week): first, the article as it stands is not finished. Close, but not quite. I'm sure there is more that can be said about Tibetan Buddhism in America, so it would be good if anybody can help expand on that subject. Also, there are a few more topics that I intend to address briefly under "trends in American Buddhism" when I get a chance. Second, those editors who actually live in North America might have a chance to take some pictures of Buddhist temples there, which we could add to illustrate the article. In the future, if we get a lot of pictures, we might have to select for quality, but, as of right now, there is plenty of empty space to add lots of pictures. Have at it. - Nat Krause 05:05, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thoreau and the Lotus Sutra[edit]
I was going to edit the page, but since I am rather new to Wikipedia and am still learning protocol, I thought I'd try here first. While it has long been a part of American Buddhist lore that Henry David Thoreau translated a section of the Lotus Sutra, Thomas Tweed, in his book, "The American Encounter With Buddhism," cites evidence that seems to show Thoreau was not the early translator of the sutra. Tweed writes that in citing Thoreau as the translator, he, "coneinuted an interpretative tradition that stretches back to 1885, when an article in the "Journal of Speculative Philosophy" by George Willis Cooke identified Thoreau as the translator." He continues, "In 1993, Wendell Piez, a literary scholar and special collections librarian who had repeated the same mistake in print, began wondering. He did more digging and uncovered the error. Elizabeth Palmer Peabody (1804-94), not the author of "Walden," edited and translated that important selection from Buddhist scriptures in 1844" (Preface to the 1992 edition, xvii). So, rather than Thoreau, according to Tweed's sources, it was a pioneering woman rather than Thoreau who first translated the Lotus Sutra into English. It's still a good story. --Ishinomakiben 02:46, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Ishinomakiben: I see that you haven't made any edits since March, so you probably won't see this. However, if you do return to Wikipedia, feel free to fix this kind of stuff directly—if you break it, I'll fix it, but realistically there are others new editors who are much more likely to be disruptive than you. Anyway, I'll go ahead and make changes to this article as per your comments here. - Nat Krause 04:59, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
First Buddhist High School in the United States[edit]
The first Buddhist high school in the United States is not the Pacific Buddhist Academy, which was founded in 2003. Rather, that disctiction belongs to the Developing Virtue Secondary School, in Ukiah, CA - I should know - I've been attending the school, and I know graduates of the school who graduated in the 1980s - twenty years before the Pacific Buddhist Academy was founded. The website for the school is at www.igdvs.org. The elementary school at the City was founded even earlier, in San Francisco in 1976 and just celebrated their 30th Anniversary last week.

Comment on racism in American Buddhist community[edit]
I found the following rather idiotic:
A variety of ideas have been broached regarding the nature, causes, and significance of this racial uniformity. A key question is the degree of importance ascribed to discrimination, which is suggested to be mostly unconscious, on the part of white converts toward potential minority converts .
Only the most unaware observer of Asians in America, adherents of several religions including Buddhism, could fail to witness a strong strain of tension with African-Americans in whatever community in the US they live in. The argument isn't that it's the fault of Buddhism but other cultural factors that cause this to occur. It isn't always the 'white man' who's at fault.184.108.40.206 17:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, first off, thanks for beginning your comments with personal insults. That's a sure way to get things going right. Anyway, it's not clear to me what you disagree with here. "A key question is the degree of importance ascribed to discrimination ... on the part of white converts toward potential minority converts." Your answer to this is that it isn't always the white man who's at fault. That's a reasonable answer, but the question is still important.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 22:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- There was no personal attack on anyone in particular, but the tone was harsh I'll admit. Just angry at yet another silly 'it's the white guys fault' speculation and now in regards to Buddhism! While I have criticisms of European descendents who practice Buddhism, I'd suggest that those same adherents are probably not typically practitioners of racial discrimination. I do stand by the comment that I found the blame to be 'suggest to be mostly unconscious, on the part of the white converts...'. The question is indeed important, but to throw out the 'white man' as villian without mentioning the often observed and commented on Asian-American [including Buddhist adherents] hostility towards African-Americans seems selective and dubious.126.96.36.199 04:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to do some work on, and reorganizing of this section. I'm on the fence about the statement quoted above (I'm an African-American buddhist, just to set the record straight): I think the section is a bit too generalized, with the aforementioned bit a bit more divisive than it needs to be. However, the racial divide issue is coming up with some regularity in western Buddhist thought and discussion, so it is definitely a valid topic for some elaboration here.
- It should be noted that SGI is also not without their controversies, so I'd like to get the section as NPOV as possible. I'm pulling source material together, so this may be a gradual and ongoing upgrade.
- Davidals 02:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Immigrant Buddhist and the Buddhist Churches of America[edit]
A couple of things strike me here as particularly relevant:
"The name Buddhist Churches of America was adopted at Topaz Relocation Center in Utah; the use of the word "church", which normally implies a Christian house of worship, was significant."
First, while it is true that the North American Buddhist Association changed its name to the Buddhist Churches of America while interred during World War II, I think the significance of this is up for debate. Every "temple" that the NABA founded prior to the war was called a "church" because the Hongonji leadership back in Japan would not authorize any building outside of Japan to be called a "temple," (i.e., ji [字]). This has led some scholars who don't hold the views of Prebish, et al, to question where the motivation for the BCA's "Americanization" came from: America? Or Japan? Whose decision was it to call the organization "churches" and why? I think these are important questions that need to be asked when writing about the history of American Buddhism.
"However, since 1980, BCA membership has declined markedly."
Second, in doing research for my dissertation, I've spoken with a handful of BCA ministers who vehemently refute this claim. The reason they believe that members is not declining is because of the manner in which the BCA counts members. Each individual church pays dues to the parent organization based on its number of members. However, very often local churches will undercount their members so as to avoid giving more money to the national organization. Often times, they will refrain from counting senior members who get sizable discounts on membership. So, on paper, it looks like the number of members is declining. But in actuality the number is rather stable, but underreported.
Obviously, I don't have a reference for this as my research is still on-going. But, again, I think when talking about religion in America, and particularly Buddhism, we need to keep in mind how we do the counting. Who's a "Buddhist"? How do we determine membership? And what do these assumption do to the "numbers"? Are the numbers even relevant? and so on.
Djbuddha 21:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Soka Gakkai[edit]
The Soka Gakkai section really needs to be cleaned up. Let's start with the first paragraph:
"here is only one Buddhist group in North America which has focused on recruiting converts from among the general public and been successful: Soka Gakkai, a Japan-based society which promotes Nichiren Buddhism."
As an American Buddhist who is not a Soka Gakkai member goes to a pretty much entirely non-Asian temple, I find this to be a bit... shall we say... wrong? In fact, it seems contradictory to the statement in the Tibetan Buddhist section: "Also quite active in the United States is the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) established by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. An offshoot of the Gelug school founded in the 1990s in the UK, the NKT has over 50 Kadampa (NKT) Buddhist Centers and branches in the United States. Most members of the organization are Westerners..."
It's not just wrong its tone, it's wrong it its facts. I'm deleting this.
The rest of the paragraph reads more like an advertisement for Soka Gakkai than information. It has cites no sources, for example. I'm going to mark it as unsourced.
--Watchreader (talk) 06:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Watchreader. While Most of what's written here re: Soka Gakkai are claims I've seen repeated elsewhere (Buddhadharma or Tricycle magazines, for example) - they still need proper citations for this entry, otherwise, as Watchreader says, this simply reads like an advert for the group. Of course, even when citations are found and added (which I'm sure they will be) - the wording should be changed to reflect that these are "claims" made by S.G. rather than externally verifiable facts. Watchreader makes an excellent point wrt just one of their claims, and how it doesn't quite add up. Jikaku (talk) 12:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Citations for SGI are done - all by books whose authors have scholastic credibility and are not Soka Gakkai members —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redcoltken sn (talk • contribs) 10:06, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Why is Soka Gakkai under the immigrant Buddhism section? It should be under an export Buddhism section. It is a form of Buddhism thay grows by conversion rather than immigration and is exported from the Japan branch rather than imported in the rest of the world. 2601:D:3582:2C0:A4D4:DA1E:17AF:EA27 (talk) 03:05, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Buddhist population in US[edit]
The intro says "...accounting for 0.9% of the US population making it the fourth largest belief-set behind Christianity, Judaism and Nonreligious". This is clearly wrong, since Islam is certainly ahead of Buddhism - see [1] which claims the US Muslim population at between 2.5 and 7 million. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 12:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Like it our not that is what the cited survey says, so changing the text to disagree with the source it not a good idea. Especially since this is given further on with the caveat that numbers are hard to get, I will try to put a more general statement in the lead without resorting to weasel words. My guess is that many Muslims would be reluctant to officially declare their religion, given what happened to those who said they were Japanese in 1940, but that is only speculation. Need to apply the usual rules of citing sources. There should be some. Generally this article needs much cleanup, it seems to attracted all sorts of different tidbits. W Nowicki (talk) 23:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
OK, I did a round of editing, removing many peacock words, redundancies, filled out citations, etc. but there are still many unsourced statements and many sources are self-published web sites. Please work to keep the quality up. It might be a good idea for someone who knows the subject matter better to read through and make sure I did not introduce any inaccuracies. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 21:00, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Separate "Zen in the USA" page[edit]
How about splitting the Zen-contents to a separate page, akin to Chinese Chán and Japanese Zen, leaving a summary at this page? The Zen-content is disproportionaly large now. Joshua Jonathan (talk) 14:28, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Joshua Jonathan. I find the maze of articles on Buddhism confusing and don't think another fork is absolutely necessary. Also where do you derive the section heading "Native American..."? I come from Minnesota where such a title means American Indian. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Susan. I already thought that "Native" was not the correct word; I'm Dutch, so there are subtilities which unfortunately are lost on me... As for the "maze of articles": it's not soemthing that I really deem necessary; it's just personal preference. Though, there is a precedence on the general Zen-article, which became sort of a "portal", with Chinese Chán and Japanese Zen as specific articles. Joshua Jonathan (talk) 19:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Joshua Jonathan, you beat me back here. Sorry about changing my mind. I thought about your suggestion today and decided that you should go for it! "Zen in the USA" seems like a good topic. -SusanLesch (talk) 00:29, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Joshua Jonathan is the nickname. "Jos" once was a nickname at school, and "Jonathan" comes from a comic. Joshua Jonathan (talk) 17:31, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

- I've updated the thumbnail description. Thanks for pointing this out. Best regards. Tengu800 20:11, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Susan. In inserted the header "charismatic authority" a while ago, to give a more "neutral" header for this section. As far as I know the listing-up of misbehaving teachers has been a point of discussion at other pages. I'm pro mentioning these issues, and even appreciate it that there is a list of misbehaving teachers, but I reckoned that it might be better to have a header which also links this issue to a theoretical background that explains part of the issue. But, of course, that's my opinion, and other views might be acceptable as well. Greetings, Joshua Jonathan (talk) 06:19, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. I think it looks fine now. If you like you can reinsert the heading. Sorry I don't have any experience with comments on lists, but as long as we adhere to BLP requirements this should be fine because most historical misbehaving is very well known. -SusanLesch (talk) 20:55, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

More in Remodeling
Remove any existing fixtures from the wall including shelves, towel racks and light fixtures. Make sure the power is off at the circuit breaker box when removing any electrical fixtures.
Lay down a drop cloth.
Use scrapers to remove any of the loose plaster.
Once the area is clean and the edges smoothed off, use a damp sponge to wipe down the wall. The plaster should only be damp and not saturated to enable the new material to meld with the old.
Prepare the plaster mix. The mix should be the consistency of thick pancake batter in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that there are no lumps in the mix to avoid air pockets in the wall.
Once the mix is ready, apply to the wall using a trowel. Fill up the holes first and then the joints then go back over these areas again.
Once dry, sand the wall down and apply a second coat of plaster.
Allow to dry and sand down the wall once again to a smooth finish.
Prime and paint.

"Customer Service was wonderful, helped me design the perfect Graduation invitations. Very pleased with the finished product."
"This card is even better in person. It's beautiful! The colors work perfectly together to frame your photos. The quality is excellent. Paper thickness is exactly what I expected. I'm happy I chose this card for our announcement."
"I ordered these announcements to share my son's graduation with friends and family that I know would most likely NOT be able to make it to the graduation ceremony. It was a money savings things since formal graduation announcements are so expensive. However, these are so nice and so fun with all the pictures I almost wish I was sending these to everyone!"
"My son's graduation announcements were beautiful. Everyone loves them. They were shipping fast and they turned out awesome!"
"We used this to announce our son's graduation party. It fit his personality perfectly. He took one look at the "draft" card I made and didn't want to look at any other options. The paper quality is good, the photos are clear and bright and the design is just unique enough to make it different yet simple."

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
'Catching Fire' star Jena Malone shows her strange Jenga talent
Jena Malone, who plays Johanna Mason in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," showed off her unconventional way of playing Jenga during Friday's episode of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
When Malone revealed her newly discovered talent of stacking multiple objects on her head, the talk show host had to see it for himself. And Fallon "just so happened" to have a Jenga set behind his chair.
No way was that planned! (cue sarcasm)
Malone took off her heels and had at it. She did a pretty good job balancing the set on her head as Fallon took a piece from the tower. That is, until she got a little too confident and the wooden blocks came tumbling down.
Impressive, but don't quit your day job.

2014 Fed 100
Name: Joann Cecere
Title: Director of Software Asset Management
Agency: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Procurement perfecter. With only three months to formulate and award NGA's first software contract for the entire intelligence community, Cecere aligned the agency's software asset management operations with the Intelligence Community IT Enterprise Strategy and collapsed multiple software agreements into a single contract. She worked long hours to understand NGA's licenses and researched many of the other intelligence agencies' holdings. The resulting contract saved $1 million in maintenance renewals in just eight months, and NGA leaders say it will serve as a model for other agencies to emulate.

Samba Logging for Audit Trails
We at Northrop Grumman recently decided to replace the Microsoft Windows 2000 server on one of our networks with a Linux server running Samba. The primary motivations for replacing the Windows server with Linux were:
Common user names and passwords for both Windows and Linux users.
Export commonly shared directories and files using NFS and Samba.
Allow software developers the freedom to choose their development environment.
No additional licensing fees required for Windows 2000 server and clients.
Centralized and cleaner audit trails.
A more secure computing environment.
Software upgrades can be scheduled when necessary as opposed to being dictated by outside software vendors.
In addition to configuring Samba as a primary domain controller, modifications were made to the Samba source code to meet the security requirements of our network. This article briefly describes how to install and configure Samba and then explains in detail how to modify Samba source code to produce log entries required for audit trails.
Our networks must be configured to meet corporate and customer requirements regarding security. Among the various security requirements that must be met, administrators need to have the ability to audit activity on the network. The required information gathered and logged for these audits is referred to as an audit trail and include the following information: successful logins, logouts, failed logins and password changes.
Most operating systems generate log files with this information, but it may be scattered in a number of different files and contain more information than is necessary. We also wanted to centralize this information so network administrators do not have to examine the logs on every computer on the network. Configured properly, a Windows 2000 server logs the above information for all machines connected to the network, in addition to reporting a myriad of extraneous information. This additional information makes security audits longer, more error-prone and also occupies a lot of disk space when archived.
In order to use Linux and Samba as the primary domain server for Windows 2000 clients, Samba has to duplicate the logging capabilities of the Windows 2000 server. Once Samba was configured for the network, it seemed the only way to meet the logging requirements was to modify the Samba source code. An additional benefit of modifying the source code was the ability to have only the necessary information recorded in the log files. The replacement of the Windows 2000 server with Samba would not have been possible had Samba been a closed-source, proprietary product.
The Linux server initially arrived with Red Hat 8.0 and Samba already installed. The first step was to download the tarred and compressed version of Samba 2.2.8a from the Web site, www.samba.org. Once downloaded, Samba was installed by running the following commands as root:
tar cvfz samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz cd samba-2.2.8a/source ./configure make make install
The Samba executables, smbd and nmbd, were installed under the /usr/local/samba/bin directory. The Red Hat installation had placed these executables under the /sbin directory. Using the newly created Samba executables requires changing the Samba startup script /etc/init.d/samba. The current Samba dæmons should be stopped first by running the command /etc/init.d/samba stop.
The /etc/init.d/samba file then is edited such that the commands for starting smbd and nmbd are changed from /sbin/smbd -D to /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D and /sbin/nmbd -D to /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D. The new dæmons are then started with the command /etc/init.d/samba start.
Once the new dæmons are installed successfully, Samba needs to be configured by setting parameters in the smb.conf file. For the 2.2.8a distribution, the default location of this file is /etc/samba. The smb.conf file consists of sections denoted by square brackets, and each section names a share or service. The following example shows some of the parameter values set under the global section to create a Primary Domain Controller for Windows clients:
[global] netbios name = SambaServer workgroup = NETDOMAIN domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master =yes os level = 65
For authenticating users on the network, the following parameters also need to be set under the global section:
encrypt passwords = yes security = user domain logons = yes
Finally, for Windows 2000 clients, the domain admin group and add user script global parameters need to be set as well:
domain admin group = root add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null \ -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
Public and private shares for Window clients are created by adding new sections.
[share] path = /home/share read only = no browseable = yes guest ok = no create mode = 0770 comment = Shared Folder hide dot files = yes
[homes] path = /home/%u read only = no browseable = no guest ok = no map archive = yes create mode = 0750 comment = Home Directories hide dot files = yes
To verify that the parameters are correct in the smb.conf file or to debug configuration problems, use the testparm command. For debugging problems with Samba in general, the log files log.smbd and log.nmbd under the /var/log/samba directory are invaluable. The parameter log level in the global section of the smb.conf file determines the amount of detailed information Samba writes to the log files, with level 0 being the most general and 10 being the most detailed. Each logging level contains the messages from that level, in addition to the logging messages below it. For example, a logging level of 5 contains messages from level 5, plus those from levels 0 through 4.
Listing 1 is an example from the log.smbd file. The first line in a typical entry in the log file contains the date and time the event occurred, the source file name, the function name and the line number where the message was generated. The second line contains the action that occurred, the domain and client name and a short message describing the logging event. Later in this article, we examine how these messages are generated in the Samba source code.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Working right now, I want to go back to school, but not until I'm sure about what I want to do.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Making you laugh, cooking, being understanding, being a good friend, loving, and caring, probably one of the nicest guys you'll meet. I wasn't raised to be an asshole. There is more I'm good at but that you'll have to find out first hand. ;)
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Tall, my hair color, my eyes, my humor.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Books: Not many but I did read the last 3 Harry Potter books about 2 years ago.
Tv: Not much except Ghost Hunters and Being Human on Syfy. Love Tru Blood but I don't have Hbo :(
Food: Most of it, but I am picky about some foods lol.
Music: Most rock, some rap, barely any country.
Movies: I'm a guy! So, I like action movies and comedy movies. I can watch dramas and romances but I'd have to be with a lady for that lol.

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Cell phone, job, friends, car, food, sleep.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Finding someone that deserves my love.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Normally, at work, but if not, I'm with friends, playing games or out at the movies.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Honestly, I can't really think of one. I have no secrets.
