This park honors John J. Carty (1909-1970), a native of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn who lived his life only five blocks away and dedicated himself to New York City government for 32 years.
Born in Bay Ridge, Carty graduated from St. Francis College in Downtown Brooklyn. After college, Carty taught English and Government at Bishop Laughlin Memorial High School where he also coached the baseball and swimming teams. In 1938, Carty left his position as a teacher to join city government with the Municipal Civil Service Commission. After his 1952 appointment to the Bureau of Budget, he spent the next ten years developing his budgetary knowledge and learning the various technicalities of city budgetary allocation.

The seventh annual tour of revelry celebrates the artistry of Pinot Noir winemakers from A.P. Vin Wines, August West/Sandler, J.K. Carriere Wines, Keefer Ranch Winery, Bonaccorsi, Paul Lato, Owen Roe, Cargasacchi and Point Concepcin, with a wine tasting and appetizers at The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. The Pinot Posse is the brainchild of John Salamanski of CS Wine Imports, a Denver-based wine distributor that places specialty wines in restaurants in metro-Denver and mountain restaurants. The CS Wine Imports portfolio includes cult wines from California, Oregon, Washington, Italy and Spain. The annual Pinot Posse event is unique to the Denver and mountain markets in Colorado, and allows Salamanski and the Pinot Noir winemakers to showcase their wines. Each year the locations of the dinners and tastings vary, but the aim is the same: to bring a group of talented winemakers to Colorado to promote the varietal and some of the personalities behind it.Jim Prosser of J.K. Carriere Wines on Parrett Mountain in Newberg, Ore., describes the Pinot Posse as a "Wild West minstrel show with wine in lieu of the magical elixir," where winemakers who could be considered competitors band together to promote great Pinot Noir to Colorado restaurateurs, sommeliers, wine retailers and consumers. The group of winemakers travels together, bringing their collective energy to each event. They celebrate Pinot Noir and their different interpretations of the varietal, which Prosser describes as "one of the highest expressions of the connoisseur." The winemakers enjoy each other's company and see it as a "road trip with buddies for a week," complete with wine, food and skiing. Their relaxed good humor helps convey one of their collective messages, which is to encourage people not to take wine too seriously.The event is Tuesday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, located above Edwards. This event is open to the public and reservations must be made in advance. The price is $20 per person. Call the Lodge at 970-926-2200 to reserve your glass.

REVIEW: Jersey Boys
Kudos to 84 year old Clint Eastwood- still trying new things. "Jersey Boys" is Clint Eastwood's first musical. Other than an effortless Christopher Walken (as a mob boss) Eastwood intentionally cast movie unknowns. John Llyod Young reprises his Broadway Tony-award winning role as Frankie Valli. It's incredible how much he sounds like Vali. Two other members of the Four Seasons come from the national tours: Michael Lomenda and Erich Bergen. Vincent Piazza of "Boardwalk Empire" plays firebrand and low-level mobster Tommy DeVito, the founder of the group. The movie is almost as much about him as Frankie Valli.
Playing at times like a "Behind The Music" episode, the film follows the guys from the wrong side of the tracks of Belleville, New Jersey who formed the iconic 60's group. As in the Broadway show, the characters, at times, break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience , telling their version of the story.
Unlike most musicals, the characters don't just break out randomly in song and dance- until the closing credits which are a MUST – if only for the pleasure of watching the graceful dance moves of Christopher Walken. The Four Seasons music is played out organically in scenes from recording sessions and concerts. That's a refreshing change from most movie musicals.
Still, the movie has the feel of a theater show brought to screen, rather than a screen interpretation . It feels like a caricature at times. The early scenes, especially, lack energy and feel cartoonish and stilted.
What's great is the music and especially the talent of John Lloyd Young. If you can't see the show, by all means, see the movie. The story alone will be a surprise to most. But be prepared to invest some time. It runs almost 2-and-a-quarter hours.
2-and-a-half stars.

SKU: ufc_50_dvd
The Ultimate Fighting Championship gained notoriety for its no-holds barred, mixed-style fighting tournaments. In recent years, however, with the addition of more rules and safety regulations, the UFC has increasingly been regarded as a legitimate sporting event, on a par with boxing and professional wrestling.
One of UFC's most exciting events took place on October 22, 2004, with UFC 50: THE WAR OF '04. The two title bouts featured UFC stars Tito Ortiz against Patrick Cot and Matt Hughes against Georges St. Pierre. Seven total fights took place to determine who was the ultimate fighting champion!

I having a hard time wrapping my brain around a thin crust pizza baking for 9 min with an initial stone temp of ~600f and the level of char you are getting.
I guess my Primo ceramic stone and firebrick wfo floor are more efficient.
Hi John, I love Pepe's pizza and would love to recreate it at home, so this thread is very interesting to me. I hope I can have half the success you seem to have had. I haven't had the opportunity to view your videos yet, but will have time tomorrow afternoon. Do you have an oven thermometer? I ask because of your remark that in an oven set at 550°F you get a stone temp of 610°F. This is physically impossible unless you are also adding radiative heat via the broiler. I can get up to this temp in the gas grill but I'm not sure about the oven. Are details about your dough recipe available?

Risk Reduction for Urban Substance Using Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)

- How to Read a Study Record
The specific aims of the 5-year study are to: 1) describe the nature and extent of substance use and sexual risk behaviors in a sample of 500 sexually active, substance using, not-in-treatment men who have sex with men (MSM) in urban South Florida (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale); 2) identify the independent covariates of baseline substance abuse and sexual risks; 3) evaluate, through random assignment of participants, the relative effectiveness of two intervention conditions in reducing sexual risks and substance use, as measured at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up assessments: a) an innovative five-session risk reduction intervention derived from psychological empowerment theory titled Project GOAL; and, b) an enhanced community standard-of-care HIV counseling Comparison Condition.

Detailed Description:
Although recent meta-analyses of the HIV prevention intervention literature have demonstrated that behavioral interventions reduce sexual risk-taking among men who have sex with men (MSM), interventions for not-in-treatment substance using MSM are lacking. Consequently, and based upon overwhelming evidence that substance use is a primary driver of HIV infection among urban MSM, public health authorities have identified the development of efficacious interventions for substance using MSM as a concern of the highest priority. The proposed study aims to test a new intervention based upon psychological empowerment theory that, in preliminary field tests, produced high levels of acceptability and participation, as well as large reductions in sexual risks and substance use, among a sample of ethnically-diverse, high risk, substance using, HIV+ and -negative MSM. The intervention to be tested is based upon a theory of MSM health risk behaviors that posits that urban gay "fast lane" subcultures present risk environments - including lack of integration with the larger society, normative hypersexuality and substance use, homophobia, sexual competitiveness, and an emphasis on entertainment and escapism - that become problematic for a sizable minority of MSM who live in them.
The proposed project responds directly to the calls by public health authorities for the development of efficacious risk reduction interventions for substance using MSM. South Florida consistently ranks in the top three MSAs nationwide in HIV and AIDS incidence and prevalence. South Florida is also a well-known migration point for MSM of extraordinarily diverse backgrounds with high rates of non-injection drug use. This setting provides an excellent context for testing an innovative intervention among high risk substance using MSM who are in need of HIV prevention services.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

You'd think it would be difficult - if not impossible - to keep fans happy when they know their hero is about to die. But the folks behind Spartacus: War of the Damned don't seem too worried. In fact, as the Starz series prepares to launch its final season on Jan. 25, creator Steven S. DeKnight reminds us that Spartacus' death at the hands of his Roman oppressors is "not unlike the story of the Titanic. It's no big secret the boat will sink. It's how you get there that keeps the audience invested."
In War of the Damned, the former gladiator (Liam McIntyre) leads a massive, growing army of rebel slaves. That soon pits him against the up-and-coming Julius Caesar (Todd Lasance) and Rome's hotshot military commander Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells). The latter ultimately defeated Spartacus, who - depending on which history you read - either perished in battle or was captured and crucified. Whichever way, "we will leave our fans with quite a gut punch," promises DeKnight. "But the final episode is also rousing and inspiring and really beautiful. I was moved to tears in the editing room - and I wrote the damn thing!"

Tribe, Royals set to jockey for Wild Card spot
AL Central rivals looking to improve playoff positioning
Well, well, well. It's you again.
After a brief break from each other, the Indians and Royals are going at it once more. As with the series in Cleveland last week, the set beginning on Monday at Kauffman Stadium has all kinds of implications for the American League Wild Card race.
The top two spots in the standings belong to Tampa Bay and Texas. Cleveland is just a half-game back, with Baltimore behind by 2 1/2, New York three back and Kansas City trailing by 3 1/2 games.
When the Indians hosted the Royals at Progressive Field last week, Kansas City left town with two wins in three tries. Since then, the Royals dropped two out of three at Comerica Park, while the Tribe swept a four-game set from the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
For Monday's series opener in Kansas City, the Royals will send righty James Shields (11-9, 3.38 ERA) to the mound against Cleveland southpaw Scott Kazmir (8-8, 4.24 ERA). The two pitchers went head-to-head in last Wednesday's finale, with Shields leading Kansas City to a series-clinching victory.
Over eight-plus innings, Shields allowed four hits and two runs. He had seven strikeouts to go along with just one walk.
"The excitement is there," Shields said of being in contention. "We're exactly where we wanted to be at the end of the season. We would like to have the lead in the division, but it is what it is. We're here now, and we're playing and we're fighting for a playoff spot. We have some pretty special moments."
Those words could just as easily have come from Kazmir, who gave up four runs (three earned) in four-plus innings last Wednesday. With the end of the season in sight, the Tribe's position is very similar to that of Kansas City, and so is the goal.
"We're in a good situation, right now," Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall said. "We've got like two weeks left and we're close to making the playoffs, and that's where we want to be."
Indians: Chisenhall contributing at right time
• Chisenhall had a 3-for-3 day at the plate in the middle installment of last week's run-in with the Royals. In eight September games, he is batting .348 (8-for-23) with three doubles and two home runs. He also has five RBIs.
"The past two or three weeks, I've felt better in the box," Chisenhall said. "It's been frustrating for me this year. I made some small adjustments at the plate that haven't worked, but right now I feel like I have something good going and I'm going to try to continue to do that."
Royals: Gordon riding hitting streak
• Left fielder and leadoff hitter Alex Gordon has hit safely in 10 straight games. During that span, Gordon is batting .349 (15-for-43) with one double, four home runs, seven RBIs and 10 runs scored. He scored at least one run in all three games at Progressive Field last week.
• With their 3-2 loss on Sunday, the Royals have had 52 one-run games this year, second-most in the AL behind Chicago (53). In such tilts, Kansas City is 28-24.
Worth noting
• The Indians have a 9-7 edge in the season series. They've outscored Kansas City so far, 73-66.
• After this week's series concludes on Wednesday, Cleveland will finish its season with four against the Astros, two against the White Sox and four against the Twins. Kansas City's remaining schedule, meanwhile, will bring three against the Rangers, three against the Mariners and four against the White Sox.

Knowledge, support, hope and empowerment: just a few of the things a PHA support group can offer PH patients. No one should face this disease alone.
More and more, patients are taking part in our support group network. There are more than 240 support groups and at least one new group is added each month. You are not alone and there's a good chance there's a group meeting near you.
Before my first meeting I was confused and overwhelmed. It was a relief to me to find out other people had caregivers. I had really been feeling guilty about needing help. At my meeting, when I saw that my husband wasn't the only person who had come along to help, I felt better about my health and needing assistance.-- Sally Mackey, Sumter, S.C.

I am a support group leader because I want to connect everyone together. I don't like thinking about the fact that there are people out there with PH and they could be feeling lonely or like they are the only ones with this illness... -- Heather Kirland, Treasure Valley, Idaho, PHA Support Group Leader

Finally, awesome!
Phoronix: Wayland-Based Chromium Browser Released
Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has done their first release of Ozone-Wayland, the new component that allows Google's Chromium web-browser to work natively on Wayland without any dependence on X.Org. Fedora and Ubuntu binaries are currently available...
Finally, awesome!
Wayland Chrome for Ubuntu. I know that most of the Ubuntu derivatives uses/will use the Wayland protocol for their displayservers, it just kinda seems a little like a slap in Canonicals face, if it doesn't work with Mir :P
Canonical will have to build a Mir backend for Ozone in the future. But meanwhile, this is awesome!
Damn these journalists!
It's not a release, it's a preview release, big difference implied. Still awesome news.
good times, good times indeed.

This is the legendary meticulous act of peeing in your girlfriend's butt. It also can be done with a drunken girl who does not expect a thing. This act should be done only by professionals. However, it is usually just talked a lot about over some beer
Legend holds that Stees actually peed in his college girl friends butt once. However as myths and wise tails usefully go. The Golden Corn hole was created with lots of KB and good Colorado microbrews. "Hey Amy can I pee in your butt", Andy said after his 14th beer. This later has been called the golden corn hole which every guy must admit has thought of going to a girl in his lifetime.

Many, many people credit J.Lo for sparking their interest in mountain biking, and subsequently, the rapid evolution of "freeride" MTB began.
The neighborhood hooligan just became a Mt. biking pioneer................... -
I've always had so much respect for Lenosky, the tech king. Cool to see his old spots. We all have those... Granted mine were smaller.

OT during whatever this is—anyone wake up with scratches on their back for no reason–eg. no sex, bed bugs etc I do and I looked it up and google said demonic possesion lol–hence my shadow people quote cause I never heard of that–pbvis dont believe that shit but does anyone wake up with weird scracthes?
ReplyCancel@Derek 1) you're scratching yourself (I do that sometimes) or 2) STIGMATA
@JSierra I believe those were Dark Chocolate Bugles on her hands.
You're welcome, everyone. I'm here for you.
ReplyCancelHeeellloooo Micky Ekko!! Where have you been my entire life?!
I'm glad Daft Punk won, but I would have preferred Pink/Nate. I saw Fun at ACL in October and they were incredible. I wasn't a huge fan before the show but I left there with goosebumps and obsessed with the band. Nate has a spectacular voice that is even better live.
ReplyCancel@JSierra – I understand … P!nk is amazing in concert too, and left me feeling goose bumpyish after I saw her in Brisbane a few months ago – amazing, amazing performer.
Another great performer whose concerts are like a true show is Taylor Swift. Not really my cup of tea in music, but she gives an amazing performance.
I'm so sick of Katy Perry – time to make a cup of tea!
ReplyCancelThey need to up the ante on these talent shows … a cool concept would be to take people who have no talent and are severely overweight, yet strive to be famous … put them through a Biggest Loser type programme, then bootcamp with someone like P!nk to train them up, and then kick off the auditions … I think this would be a huge hit!
ReplyCancelSince we're on a commercial break, I must say that I am really upset by all of this lip synching. I quite enjoyed many of the performances last year. And I told all 12 of my piano students to watch this mess. Argh. John Legend better bring it. I'm trying to stay sober tonight, but I don't know….
ReplyCancelI'ma get more shine in a little bit
Soon as I hit the stage applause I'm hearing it
Whether it's black stars black hearts I'm feeling it
But can't none of them whip it like I do
I, I gets it in mmmm ya… I go hard
When they see me pull up I whip it real hard
I whip it real hard, real hard, I whip it real hard
@Renoblondee – I think she just takes the 'goth look' a bit too far.
@JSierra – I know what you mean. I think she sounded incredibly nervous, hence why she went up a bit at the end of one of her sentences. I don't sound like that – I work in Oz a lot too though, so my accent is very neutral. I thought she sounded a tad British.
ReplyCancelIf you are playing by your drinking game rules, you are indeed drunk JSierra.
Don't we honor the Beatles every other year? Do we just do a rolling tribute between Springsteen, Prince, and the Beatles on alternate years? When will Sisqo and Dru Hill get their due?
ReplyCancelStep yeah it looks like a lot of people are standing now, idk if it was the angle or what but at the beginning all you could see was a sea of seated audience members and Taylor dancing in the first row.
Jeez I hate this girl's music, I feel bad because she was really sweet and cool on the red carpet but her "Blowing Smoke" song drives me absolutely bonkers. Her dress is not okay though. Not okay.
ReplyCancelAhhh Steam now I get what you were saying earlier, I agree!! Nothing beats some good ole Texas country or Southern Gothic. I hate country, unless it's Texas or southern gothic.
Speaking of good country, we need a new Civil Wars album, please!
NPH! Is it safe to assume we are onto the musical portion of the awards?
ReplyCancelI bet a certain radio host here who I cannot stand is feeling stupid now, having commented a while back that she interviewed Pharrell and he was "stupid, didn't seem to know how to answer questions and probably wasn't destined for a long-standing career in the music industry". HA!!!!
The Grammys need to sell these collaborations on iTunes!
ReplyCancelThat performance reminded me when, a few Grammy's ago, Jay Z did the New York anthem, his performance built and built until everyone was vibeing and you could feel the electricity through the TV, this was something like that, everyone was GROOVING drunk or not, that was the BOMB.
ReplyCancelThat wasn't who I was expecting Cindy to announce.
Drink up bitches, because Cindy sounded a little wastey.
I hate Sarah's music with a passion unparalleled, but I really love her as a person. I also really like this version of Brave, the original one can disappear forever.
ReplyCancelAgreed this last hour has been waaaay better than the first.
Lorde may say some stupid stuff in interviews but I am really impressed/refreshed by her excitement and genuine happiness at the awards tonight. She is extremely talented and deserves it.
Shout out to Marlena in the Chevy commercial right now!!
ReplyCancelOne more nomination for Lorde to come …
I don't feel bad that Bruno and Macklemore didn't win because they've won soooo many other awards and their popularity is likely to remain, whereas Lorde's might fade … especially as she relies on Joel to co-write her songs – she's not like Taylor Swift who is self-sufficient.
ReplyCancelI think people interpret Ella ("Lorde") as being uppity based on what they hear and see in the media and her image; the reality though, is she's very humble, down to earth and kind of ordinary. I always laugh when people guess the blinds about drugged-out tweens being her … the reality could not be further than that.
ReplyCancelJSierra, I am going to forgive you for hating me for Metallica, and imma gonna tell you why: you are too young to know what they were back in the day. Plus, I live in Canada AND Alberta, they wouldn't let me in unless I did some air guitar to One. That's right, I pulled the age card.
count: voice was totally shot!
ReplyCancelStep naahhhh you have the right to gloat! When a foreigner wins it is a real accomplishment versus a lot of Americans where it is all money and influence. Mostly money and influence, there are some who sneak by without their souls being sold or stolen. Don't shoot me!
ReplyCancelTTM the words you speak are true. I was brought into being at the very end of the Metallica hayday so I will never understand the appeal. As for it being a Canadian requirement, we are stuck with JayZ and Beyonce. They play Holy Grail on the rock and alternative stations. All hope is lost.
ReplyCancelSo this thing runs over?
I just tuned in and am currently being tortured by Beyonce Knowles.
Oh here's her gangster husband. At least he's better than she is, I can't believe she even has a career singing like that.
Oh no wait, there's Madonna. I guess I can believe Beyonce's got a career.
ReplyCancelOh my. My eyes may have peed a little.
@Stepforded, no that was records of the year which I think is the same thing as song of the year. I'm don't understand myself. I think song of the year is for the songwriter and record of the year is for the producer/mixer.
ReplyCancelHeya Steam, THREE AND A HALF HOURS?
I have some things to do this evening. I'll have to come and go.
It's funny watching the beginning while you guys watch the end. Doesn't matter. I probably won't know any of the big award winners anyway, unless it's Led Zep.
ReplyCancelTaylor won album of the year only 4 years ago and she's only 24. I don't think they're going to reward her the big one again so soon. I think inly U2 and Stevie Wonder have multiple AOTY wins. I might be wrong but I don't thing the grammy people wanna put her on that pedestal with them.
ReplyCancelI'm not watching the Grammy Awards and can't keep up but I wanted to pop in and say I started Girls last night and… nice! Solid writing, interesting premise. I'm biased against Lena for her posture and attitude (I know, I know, shallow much?) but she's actually a good actor and writer. WTG, Derek & Lucas!
Lorde, how I love Lorde. I hope she wins all the awards.
ReplyCancelApparently they didn't start airing the Grammy's on the left coast here until 8PM so the roomie is ensconced on the sofa but she's sharing her champagne. Hate to say it buy Robin Thicke actually makes the Chicago songs better. For a moment I thought it was Justin T..Oops!
ReplyCancel@kimba: How were the Ks? What the K-trashes? I wasn't watching that, I was watching True Detective. In tonight's episode, we got some titty outta the broad who plays Harrelson's wife.
The fact that the music scene is so shitty nowadays that they have to trot out broke down 'tallica shows the Grammys aint worth watchin.
Paul McCartney's droopy, bulldog cheeks, deflated mouth and nose are just make him look older and more decrepit when coupled w/ that wig/hair do/whatever that is.
Ringo was just happy to get a call.
TTM: Alberta is all Heavy Metal and Bret Hart huh? Poor girl, you probably see mullets every time you leave the house.
The best album Metallica ever put out was their first, Kill Em All. Some say it was the Mustane influence. Great speed metal, perfect background music for booting someone in the head. After the Black Album, Metallica's stuff aint worth a buck a CD at a flea market.
ReplyCancelOh god, Steam, it was so convoluted.
Old rape/murder cases resurrected with a new rape/murder case.
They have the guy but his DNA doesn't match one of the old murders.
They go back and the murdered chick's husband is a low-life cheater with a thousand pieces on the side. Three of them are Anton, Ann Margret and Fairchild. (Anton looked like absolute hell – worst of the bunch).
Smith was a young cop on the case back then. Now retired.
They try to figure out which one of the mistresses killed the wife.
The cheating husband burned up in a car crash.
Wait – was that Taylor Swift having a seizure? What the FUCK?
ReplyCancelA couple of Lorde updates for anyone who's interested:
She was booked to play @ the Laneway Music Festival in Auckland (NZ) today, but then when the Grammy nominations came out, had to pull out. So, she's going to put on a free concert for ticketholders in a couple of days' time!
Lorde was apparently so nervous that she decided to avoid the red carpet and just get into the show.
Joel (co-writer) is staying on in LA to do some recording stuff for the next few days, but Lorde is returning tomorrow.
Lorde and her bandmates have been reading through all the Twitter messages, with the guy on drums weeding out all the nasty negative ones, including those that are comparing him to Ellen DeGeneres.
I hope Lorde stays grounded and cool … and remember, any BVs that mention a starlet on adderrall or similar, unable to handle their success, definitely do not relate to this one (whose Mum travels with her everywhere, by the way).
ReplyCancel@Karen, I'm not watching, but Grammy.com has a poll that has Little Talks as an option for viewer choice as favorite video. I loved Little Talks but King and Lionheart is my absolute favorite.
The behind the scenes on King and Lionheart is fascinating.
Do you still live in Iceland? That's on my bucket list!
ReplyCancel@Seven They've sold over a million singles I believe, that's 3x the population of Iceland. A huge accomplishment. And I still live in Iceland, you should definitely come over, we'll have some shitty Icelandic booze and some shitty Icelandic food (as a native I love me some putrid shark and brennivín, doesn't get more Icelandic) and go look at some pretty waterfalls
ReplyCancelNinotchka, JayZ's comment wasn't so bad. I mean he was really thanking God for Bey, and let's be real, I think men/women would do the same if married to her.
@Karen, I think I'm going to be headed to Iceland next year. I may need to get some insights from you!
ReplyCancelSorry, V, I am not a fan of musicians, actors and athletes blaming god for giving them awards, or touchdowns or wives, or anything else. In the immortal words of Sweet Brown, ain't nobody got time for that – least of all god.
And I absolutely loathe and despise Beyonce Knowles. I would curse the baby jebus if I had to deal with her on a regular basis. Seriously. Sorry.
ReplyCancelWho was Tyler signaling with the ear pull? He mouthed "hi" to someone but I couldn't catch it. Some piece, no doubt.
Aww.. Smokey. A classic.
They're bringing out some big guns in this show. I'm going to have to stop saying so and so's a giant among gnats every 15 minutes.
ReplyCancel@Sherry Song of the year is a songwriter award, record of the year is a producer/engineer/mixer award and album of the year is for everyone.
@V I liked it a lot, it was emotional but I'm with you, I think they're overrated and it was a travesty he won over Kendrick in the Rap categories.
ReplyCancelOh… Richie Havens, that's a big loss.
And Jonathan Winters – genius. Big loss.
Still don't care about Corey Montieth.
Lou Reed – another big loss.
Oh god – here comes that Lambert chick. Looks like she was attacked by a tanning booth and she's going to destroy an Everly Brothers tune.
ReplyCancelSteam, as you advised it would be – that was a painful interlude.
I don't know that it's really necessary to enshrine the Everly Brothers with a musical tribute but whatever, they didn't ask my opinion.
God – there's that Shakira commercial again. That girl has ABS OF DEATH.
ReplyCancelMy god, I haven't seen Lindsey Buckingham in a hundred years.
Once upon a time Lindsey, Christine, Stevie and the one I can't think of at the moment had to hold the concert together for about an hour, while Mick Fleetwood puked his guts out off the side of the stage. Good times.

dont make any sense human beings do nothing without reward or results. even the result of emptiness would be a result.. or needing to be enlightened.. this statement to me is nonsense.. why do anything if you dont see results.. you wouldnt do it.. results are one with Spirit.. *to me*
Hi Marj,
Does the moon do its shining for results? To be a "better moon"? Does the mountain do its "mountaining" to be the greatest mountain?
We human beings are achievers, and have done great things ... gone to the moon ... climbed mountains ... and built great civilizations because we are go driven and seek results. That is wonderful and what makes us human.
But at the same time, can we know how to be as round as the moon just shining, and as solid as the mountain just resting? There is a Wholeness and Completeness in just shining as simply as the moon, sitting as solid as a mountain, all goals and thoughts of achievement, all judgments and mental weighing dropped away.
And then perhaps "Enlightenment" may be knowing how to work for goals with all goals dropped away as one, climbing the mountain up up up yet with each step a total arrival and "no place in need of going".
If this does not yet make sense to you, please watch our little "We're All Always Beginners" talks ... especially these on how we run races ...
... and climb mountains around here ...
Anyway, please have the goal of watching all those talks anyway, whether it makes sense yet or not!
Gassho, Jundo
PS - This is a just brilliant talk above by Taigu, not to be missed.

Hello Marj,
thank you for this, I sometimes wonder about this as well. However, I believe if we look closer, results are happening anyway, if we do or not. Result is just life going on. Only in our analyzing mind we put things into some relation, like: If I do zazen I become calm, in example. To me, due to the law of karma, everything we do or not do has results. What I believe is the point, is that we might want to control, something like: if I do zazen, I MUST become calm. I believe its human to have a wish to control, but in my experience, the more we want to control, the more we expect a certain result, the more pain we gain overall. Hope this makes some sense.
Hello Taigu,
thank you for this teaching. If people want something useful, they should get themselves a Leatherman multi-tool
Zen is a boring way to spend one's life, if one still wants to achieve something in particular. Better to go dancing until one's shoes bleed.

Yes, very thankful for your teachings Taigu.

As a trainee priest, please take any commentary by me on matters of the Dharma with a pinch of salt.
Thank you Taigu. So good to see you back.
明 Seimyō (Christhatischris)
"Letting the space open the space." More and more (or, what a lie, more like: sometimes) when I sit, this is it, an opening. I like to call it in my self-important way a blossoming. And it is equally me opening and the world opening, blossoming, both blossoming at once, no separation. Sitting is sitting; sitting is opening into sitting. Opening is opening, blossoming is just being openly open, always open, but often forgotten. Blossoming into just sitting. Just sitting.
But the above is just my bullshit (as long as we're cursing). Most of the time I'm a useless dog chasing his tail.
Thank you for the talk.
Taigu, thank you for the invitation.
Thank the lord I had no expectations when I got into this!!!!!!!!!! And whether or not zazen prepared you for the tumble down 40 stairs, Taigu, I'm glad you turned yourself into rubber for the ride.
(Jack K.)
The rubber realy met the road the hard way! There must be a poem in there somewhere. I wonder what Ryokan would have sayd about that heh?( forgive me, can't help myself now I know you are allright). You sayd when you wen't down your mind was very composed. Can you, if you don't mind, elaborate on that?
Not much to say... Much to my surprise as I lost balance I felt suspended in the air, time froze, and I remember thinking with all these stairs ahead : " how not to die here? " no panic , just a quiet question to which my mind answered: " turn your body into rubber, relax" I also thought in English before hitting the first stair: " just enjoy the ride!". Ad I went down, totally relaxed, my mind was focused on my body bouncing down in complete acceptance.
Nothing extraordinary in there, similar experiences can be made by everybody in those circomstances. What felt unsual was the level of acceptation and gratitude I felt in the hospital when the surgeon was busy stitching up my open wound. Almost no pain. A joyous moment. Jocking away with the bloke snd the lovely nurses but not out of being nervous at all. Just feeling great and...alive!
Sharing that is intimate. Thank you.
In gassho.

I See. Dharma is useless, you just stopped and gave it up and everything ended well. I think thats wondrous!
Pondering on the teaching this came to mind:
Dharma is easy.
Experiance going down the stairs
One, two, three...
Enough fooling arrond about this on my part. I am very gratefull you are OK. I feel knowing you well from watching all those teachings you post online and I can make a joke or two about this poentialy serious event. Hope you don't mind?
Thanks for the lesson
Taigu, your description of your falling reminds me of my aikido practice where we're being taught to relax and try to be soft when falling and accept falling naturally as it comes so the landing won´t hurt much or at all...just another resemblance between aikido and shikantaza and maybe of some everyday practical use since Dharma is utterly useless... Much to my surprise as I lost balance I felt suspended in the air, time froze, and I remember thinking with all these stairs ahead : " how not to die here? " no panic , just a quiet question to which my mind answered: " turn your body into rubber, relax" I also thought in English before hitting the first stair: " just enjoy the ride!". Ad I went down, totally relaxed, my mind was focused on my body bouncing down in complete acceptance.
Gassho, Memo
I have tried to reply to this invitation on several threads but have cancelled each attempt. All I want to say ends up as a silent shout of YES!! Not a lions roar but a chicken's squawk and no egg!
平 息
I'm happy to see you again and well, Taigu.
Thank you for this teaching.

Good to see you Taigu and thank you very much,
Wonderfully useless, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Gassho, Shawn Jakudo Hinton
It all begins when we say, I. Everything that follows is illusion.
"Even to speak the word Buddha is dragging in the mud soaking wet; Even to say the word Zen is a total embarrassment."
Thanks a lot for this video, Taigu!
When I say to someone that this practice is useless, I often get the common follow-up question "Then why do you practice?"
I used to answer that I practice in order to practice, but today I explain that for me sitting is the most honest thing you can do:
If people watch TV they do so to be entertained.
If people gamble they want to have excitement.
If you sit (Zazen), however, you just sit. You just are. There is just pure being. No addition at all. And nothing needs to be added - because it's the most honest thing you can('t) do.
no thing needs to be added
I like this Timo,
I also think that while practice is useless, it is not without effect, which is quite a difference. I understand it so that its useless in respect of - exactly as you say - all worldly entertainment, distractions, personal targets including spiritual aims ("I want enlightment") etc.
Nice teaching Taigu, although I'm a little bummed that the Dharma won't keep me from getting sick!
Try not to be a jerk-- one of the Buddhas
This was a useless talk and the teaching i was needing right now!
Thanks so v much taigu and pleased to c u r better
Thank you, Taigu. A very good reminder.
Thank you for this teaching, Taigu.
The Dharma is precious, because it is useless... like everything else we do.
Life is utterly useless!

I was listening to a podcast by Okamura Roshi today & it struck a chord with me with Taigu's talk. Okamura talks about when he was a child he wanted to be a 'good boy' but as a teenager he turned out to be a 'bad boy' a bit of a rebel, not doing what his parents wanted of him. It was only he found his teacher Uchiyama, who said zen is 'good for nothing' that he found his place.
This experience kind of mirrors my own. I was known as a 'clever kid' passing scholarship and such. But in my teens I rebelled 'dropping out and tuning in' as the saying goes. This is also when my parents attitude changed towards me, referring to me as 'useless' & 'good for nothing. I didn't stay a rebel, at least not to external judgement. Eventually got an education and a career and a 'good job'. But I've never quite bought into these things - although my parents were placated - feeling more comfortable doing the 'useless, and the 'good for nothing'. And then I found zen, zazen and finally my teacher, and, like Okamura, I feel I've come home in not doing (tho' I wonder, if my parents were still alive, what they would make of it.

Two near-death: drowning at the bottom of a swimming pool (age 9) and driving a tractor through the rear wall of a dairy barn; falling 12 ft. (age 12).
Blessed that perfect calm, even curiosity, prevailed. Hopefully most humans can experience and survive near-death to realize that, like a lot of Supreme things: it's nothing special.
Plans and goals and results are made in the abstract, reality is just action to preserve life. If you don't like the results of your life would your body stop breathing?😊
