Children who are Medicaid eligible and have a developmental disability may qualify to receive home and community-based services through the Children's Developmental Disabilities (DD) Services Program.
The Children's DD Services Program is a system of care that has a wide array of benefits for children based on the individual needs of the child and include interventions, supports and collaboration services. The system emphasizes evidence-based treatment methods, community integration, and family empowerment.
Children's DD services can be delivered via two pathways – the Traditional Pathway or the Family-Directed Pathway.
Traditional Model - Families who choose to access services through the traditional model will receive services from DD agencies who are paid for providing defined Medicaid benefits.
Family-Directed Services Model - Families who choose to access services through the family-directed services model will continue to receive services and supports defined by the family from persons and businesses of their choice.
Some children are also able to receive certain services at school. Learn more about School-Based Services.
If a child (up to the age of 21), needs medically necessary services that exceed the limitations of the Medicaid State Plan, Idaho Medicaid can approve the additional services through the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Learn more about the EPSDT benefit (includes application).
The transition to the new Children's Developmental Disability (DD) Services is now complete! With the changeover, as of July 1, 2013, the services of intensive behavioral intervention, developmental therapy, and service coordination for children have been discontinued. They have been replaced with an improved array of services that provide therapy, support, and respite services to help children with developmental disabilities be important, participating members in their families and communities.
As part of the transition process, please note that the website and email addresses have changed to www.childrensDDservices.dhw.idaho.gov, and firstname.lastname@example.com, respectively. If you are still accessing our site or emailing us from the old links, please update your "favorites" list, address books, or other links or bookmarks accordingly, as the "redesign" web and email addresses will be removed in the coming weeks.
If your family is new to the DD program, we welcome you, and invite you to browse through our newly updated website to answer any questions you may have regarding benefits and services available to you. We have also updated our Application Packet for services. Our developmental disability agency and independent provider lists are also updated quarterly so that families can have the most current information available regarding providers who are offering needed services in their area.
If you have questions regarding the status of your DD application, please contact the Children's DD Team member in your region. You may also email any other questions to the DD Services team directly at the link below.

Freshman year of college can be scary but falling for college myths can fuel the flame of this fear.
I remember myths about my school: It was haunted, college seniors were going to somehow prank the freshmen, and walking under the school's clock tower would make you fail your classes. The rumors felt overwhelming at first but then I decided to put one of those myths to the test, starting with the clock tower. One day, I darted under it. The stained glass windows looked phenomenal from the inside and I thought, "How can something so beautiful be treated like a curse?" Days after my investigation, my grades were fine. As for the other myths that I heard about UIW, they were just the same: The school wasn't haunted and the college seniors never did prank the freshmen. Even though I was high on guard, they were all false.
The sad part about all this is that many college students will scare freshmen with myths and completely omit the good things about college like events, socials, etc. So how can you tell what's real or myth in college? First, if you hear about something and it concerns you, ask an advisor or professor about it. (Professors/advisors know more about the school than the student body.) Second, listen to how the subject is brought up and ask yourself, "Are they joking?" or "Do they sound serious?" Finally, listen to yourself. Do you take their word for it or yours? Only you can determine what's real and what's myth regarding your college.
Veronica Gonzalez is a rising junior at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. Her current major is English and she plans to pursue a bachelor's degree in this field. She served as the vice president of the UIW chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta from 2012 to 2013 and she returns as a junior delegate in the fall of 2013. Her dreams are to publish novels and possibly go into teaching in the field of English.

Attending college can be both fun and challenging. As a student, you'll definitely have lot of new experiences but it's best to know about the good and bad.
The good things about college experiences are that they constantly revolve around activities. In college, it wouldn't hurt to get involved with a club or organization that interests you – this way, you can make new friends and give yourself a sense of school pride. Also, doing community service with your school can impact you socially because you're reaching out to your own community and getting to know more people. Plus, joining an honor society or a club that associates with your favorite subject will sweeten your college experience by bringing out your smart and talented edge.
Even though new experiences can be exciting, it's just as important to be very careful when having them. In college, there are many parties and socials and if one over-parties, their academic performance can easily suffer. Also, peer pressure is always present: People may try to lure you into dangerous addictions like smoking, drinking, etc. – this can also lead to academic failure so watch out.
Now knowing the pros and cons of college experiences, you can rest assured that there are ways to have a great time in school. First, academics always come first so make much of your time "study time" as to not lose sight of your academic goals. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with going to socials but it's best to do it in moderation. Finally, listen to yourself: Know what's best for you and understand that what you do while attending college will stick with you...especially thanks to the Internet. Enjoy your time in college but remember not to lose sight of your goals!

I took AP Statistics in high school and I attend Wofford College full-time during the traditional school year. This summer, however, I've been taking statistics at UNCG...so what gives? Well, Wofford would only accept AP scores of 4 or higher and I received a 3 and after my late declaration of comp-sci as a major, I figured out that I actually need it. So off to summer school I went – at a university I wasn't familiar with and with professors I didn't know and students who were strangers, no less – but I'm actually thrilled that I had the opportunity to study at another institution, albeit only for a summer course.
UNCG was beautiful and way different than Wofford. And the class was organized, taught and tested on completely differently. The textbook was all online – something I'd never experienced at my main college – but I loved it: All of the resources, tables and info were in one place and there was great statistical software built right in! But having it all online meant that the class was entirely learn-for-yourself, at your own pace, in your own time (which I had NONE of). It was different but I appreciated the class and continuing my coursework over the summer actually kept me grounded and on top of things I was involved with. Even a) planning a two-day music festival with friends b) working a full-time management position at my pool and c) applying for another internship (stay tuned for another post) didn't keep me from passing!
It was rough with the mix of everything else I was involved with but my experience in the class itself was pretty positive. So if you're considering taking classes at another institution during the summer or over break, remember that it won't be bad...it will just be different. It will cause you to form better and varying study habits that will most likely help you in the future and having that structured schedule in the summer will actually help in everything else you're involved with as well. Embrace the opportunity!

Most can agree that high school was not too challenging. I know this because the standard procedure for me was to complete busy work, memorize stuff and regurgitate that information on test day, forgetting the material almost instantaneously. When I got to college, however, I abandoned that method...fast.
As you move through college, the memorization method fades away into REAL learning because college courses introduce you to the material and demand that you get familiar with the information through study and homework. You are then encouraged to make sense the material your own through personalized notes, diagrams, dialogues, etc. Higher-level courses will require application and synthesis, using what you know and applying it to a new situation or idea.
You will always get a million voices of advice but there isn't always a set answer for it all. My response to your concerns about the academic part of college is simple: It all depends. There are plenty of factors that play into the difficulty of a college class including where you attend school, what your major is, who the professor is, what the grading is like and what the pre-requisites are. Here are my personal tips for a success in the classroom:
Before College
When You Get There
College is not just for smart people: It's for people that want and try to learn. I've seen high school valedictorians fall and barely-admitted students rise, the latter of which proves that if you can get admitted, you have what it takes to undergo the academic rigor. Don't let the saying "College is hard, impossible or not for you" prevent you from giving higher education the old college try!
Anthony Guzmán is currently a rising sophomore at Texas A&M University where he studies business management and Spanish. He hopes to use business to create positive change through non-profit organization. He devotes the majority of his time to Catholic ministry and he also enjoys dancing, being with friends and family, and traveling.
In college, you will never be a stranger to professors. In fact, professors can be your greatest allies if you get to know them academically, professionally and socially. All professors are different so it's best to get to know them as individuals and as educators.
The first step? Introduce yourself on the first day of class. Acknowledge them fully so that they'll know that you're willing to learn what they have to offer and always be courteous towards your teachers; if you respect them, they'll give you respect in return – it's a win-win.
All professors differ when it comes to academics because they have different grading techniques. Pay close attention to how your professor(s) grade assignments and exams; it's very likely that they'll explain their grading process to you early on in the semester so be sure to grab a pen and paper and take notes!
In a professional aspect, your professors will always provide the class with a syllabus. Reading and studying a syllabus will help you familiarize yourself with the rules and expectations for the class. If you forget a rule or expectation, then feel free to look back on the syllabus at any time.
Socially, professors will definitely expect communication and feedback from their students so don't be afraid to talk to them, ask them questions if you're struggling to understand something, attend office hours and keep in touch with them via email/phone in case of emergencies. And if you see them outside of class, be sure to say hello!

College libraries are often misunderstood and get very little spotlight in the student world. Many students miss the fact that the college library isn't just a place to study – it's also a place to learn. Here's how to get to know your school's library.
You'll never be a stranger to computers, copiers and printers in college but it's important to know how to use the technology in public spaces like the library accordingly. For instance, if you have homework to print out, do so to your discretion because it's likely other students will be waiting to complete the same task on the same equipment.
Next, there are the reference areas. They normally house dictionaries, encyclopedias and academic journals that require special consideration and care because of their age and value. Depending on your school's library policies, it's likely that reference books can NEVER leave the building so if you know you are going to need one for an essay or project, plan accordingly.
Knowing where different books are at can speed up the research process when completing homework and writing papers. Most libraries have maps that highlight certain sections but if yours doesn't, there should be a chart containing call numbers for different subjects. Still unsure where something is? Ask a librarian – they're there to help!
Finally, the most important thing to do at your school library is to pick up a book and read. Fiction, non-fiction or whatever interests you...just read, Read, READ! Though you may regularly read in your dorm room, doing so in a comfy chair in the library is a nice change of pace. Take the opportunity to visit your school library and check it out for yourself!

Resident assistants. So you've seen them around campus and you admire how much they help out their fellow students. You've seen how much everybody loves them and what a positive impact they have on your university. Are you thinking of becoming a resident assistant yourself? As a new RA, I honestly expected it to be a lot less challenging than it has already proven to be but rather than explaining every last detail, I can tell you that there are some major dos and don'ts for the job:
Most importantly, you should never get involved in something simply for the popularity aspect. If being an RA sounds like something you would be really dedicated to, go for it! It may be a lot of work but if you enjoy helping people, you will probably have a lot of fun being a resident assistant at your university!
Melissa Garrett is a sophomore at Chatham University majoring in creative writing with minors in music and business. She works as a resident assistant and is currently in the process of self-publishing several of her books. She also serves as the president of Chatham's LGBT organization and enjoys political activism. Melissa's ultimate goal is to become a college professor herself.

It's the first day of school. Your instructor walks in and he or she hands out or displays a syllabus on the board. Syllabi will be your best academic friends in college: They will be dispensed to students in each class and will serve as roadmaps for the duration of the semester. If you're wondering what they're all about, here's a crash course:
Syllabi often start out with introductions, followed by explanations and outlines, and end with ground rules. The introduction part of the syllabus is basically the instructor introducing themselves to the class and explaining what the course is about. They then acknowledge the disability and academic integrity statements of the syllabus to ensure that there's equality in the class environment.
Next comes the explanation. This is where you'll to get to know what books and materials you will need (if you don't have them yet) or clarify what you won't need. Also, every instructor grades differently so your professor will give you a heads up on what to expect from them when they evaluate your papers, quizzes, tests and even class participation. Afterward is the course outline, which lists the activities that will occur in and out of class throughout the semester (homework, assigned readings, group projects, etc.).
After the explanation, the professor will set ground rules. It's best that you be aware of the policy statements listed on the syllabus such as the statement on plagiarism, the rule on cell phones, the nature of deadlines, etc. Finally, the syllabus will provide the office hours and contact information of the instructor and teaching assistants in case you have any questions or concerns.
Syllabi may change at any given time over the course of the semester; this really depends on the instructor so be sure yours remains up to date by attending lectures, discussions and office hours. Do you have any tips on understanding college syllabi?

I've been nominated as a director candidate for the CMG. My candidate statement is posted below because my views related to CMG mirror my views for application performance in organizations and the industry as a whole and I believe that is (or, at least, I hope it is) interesting to anyone involved or concerned with challenges related to application performance now and in the future.
This past weekend, I finally made time to start reading Agile Testing: A Practical Guide For Testers And Agile Teams, Lisa Crispin & Janet Gregory, Addison-Wesley (2009). I made it through the first two chapters before life called me away. After I put the book down and starting going about accomplishing a mundane series of errands, I realized that I was feeling disappointed and that the disappointment had started growing just a few pages into the book. Not because of what the book had to say, what it said was pretty good – not exactly how I would have expressed a few things, but thus is the plight of a writer reading what someone else has written on a topic they also care and write about. What was disappointing me was the fact that the stuff in those chapters needed to be said at all.
Due to the overwhelming success and positive reviews of the last STP Online Summit: Business Value of Performance Testing, we've decided to do it again -- only this time, we're going to explore Achieving Business Value with Test Automation.
Two part podcast on the STP site. I say some interesting stuff... or at least I say some stuff that's interesting to me. :)
Twist #52 - With Scott Barber
Twist #53 - The Return of the Barber
Last week, I hosted STP's Online Performance Summit, a 3 half-day, 9 session, live, interactive webinar. As far as I know, this was the first multi-presenter, multi-day, live webinar by testers for testers. The feedback from attendees and presenters that I have seen has all been very positive, and personally, I think it went very well. On top of that, I had a whole lot of fun playing "radio talk show host".
Fred Beringer of SOASTA posed that question on his blog yesterday.
An interesting question, so being a tester, what did I do? Right, I tested it. It took all of one test for me to come to my conclusion...
Yesterday, SOASTA announced their new product, CloudTest Lite (Press Release). It's not common that I get excited about a tool product release, but this is different. This product has the potential to change the market for the better.
Scratch that. I'll be shocked if it doesn't change the market for the better.
Why is that, you ask? Consider the following attributes of CloutTest Lite:
The Centro de Ensayos de Software (CES), a non-profit software testing laboratory in Uruguay, has recently launched a program that is certain to become the new "gold standard" in professional development for software testers. The program, endorsed by the Universidad de la Republica (Uruguay), the Universidad Castilla La Mancha (Spain), and sanctioned by the Uruguayan IT Chamber (CUTI), is the most comprehensive, affordable, and publicly available training program for software testers on the market. Based on my market research and comprehensive review of the program, I have no reservation in rating it as market leading.

Census to offer Internet option in gov't surveys
Monday - 12/17/2012, 4:52pm EST
By HOPE YEN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time, the Census Bureau is giving U.S. households a chance to respond to government surveys over the Internet, part of a bid to save costs and boost sagging response rates in a digital age.
The new online option will supplement the traditional census mail-out operation. It is a major shift for the agency, which has relied almost exclusively on paper forms since 1970 but is now moving toward a more Internet-based system after spending a record $13 billion on the 2010 census.
"The online response option is part of an ongoing digital transformation at the Census Bureau," said Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau's acting director. "The Census Bureau is transforming to make responding to surveys more convenient, conducting surveys more cost-effective and America's statistics more accessible on digital and mobile devices."
Beginning this week, more than 3.5 million U.S. households that are randomly selected each year to participate in the American Community Survey will be sent letters asking them to respond online. The ACS questionnaire, formerly known as the census "long form," asks households for wide-ranging details from education and income to disabilities, language use and commute times.
The Census Bureau also will add a new series of questions on computer and Internet usage to the survey, with data gathered becoming available beginning in 2014.
If households don't respond within two weeks, the Census Bureau will send out copies of paper surveys and follow up with interviews by phone or in person.
The Census Bureau said it is hoping to tap into the changing information habits of Americans, especially younger adults, who are increasingly turning to computers, tablets and smartphones for their communications. Over the last two censuses, the government has struggled with decreasing response rates, due to a combination of perceived inconvenience and concerns about revealing personal information in surveys.
Perhaps equally important, the Census Bureau believes higher response rates could eventually reduce costs, mainly by decreasing the need to mail out voluminous forms or dispatch hundreds of thousands of survey-takers each month to individual homes. At least initially, officials estimate the switch could shave $3 million off the price of conducting the American Community Survey, which cost taxpayers roughly $250 million in 2012.
The American Community Survey is used to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds for hospitals, roads and schools.
The ACS surveys being distributed this week mark the first time the government will offer an Internet option on such a wide scale to U.S. households, according to Frank Vitrano, the Census Bureau's associate director for the 2020 census. He said it currently offers the option in smaller surveys for more niche audiences, such as businesses. An Internet option also previously was provided on a limited basis in 2000, but only a small fraction of households participated. By 2010, census officials had backed away from an Internet-based survey, citing concerns of hacking and other security breaches.
Since then, countries such as Canada and South Korea have moved to make the Internet a regular part of their census operations. In more recent U.S. tests, about 50 percent of households responded when allowed to respond via the Internet, census officials said. The Census Bureau also has taken additional steps to boost digital security, requiring users to enter a randomly generated user ID to enter the survey site.
The Census Bureau for years has been urged by members of Congress to move to an Internet-based system, partly to help cut costs. But concerns remain as it is studied for use in the 2020 census, which counts the entire U.S. population rather than a representative sample. The once-a-decade count has traditionally missed hard-to-track groups such as minorities, the homeless and the poor, who also may be less likely to have access to computers.
Recent government tests have shown that U.S. residents who are more likely to respond to surveys online are younger, Asian, non-black, or "other" race, with higher education. Those living in larger households as well as those who speak a language other than English at home also were more likely to fill out Internet forms.
Reaching hard-to-count groups has been a major factor behind ballooning costs to the census, which sustains its biggest costs when it has to send survey-takers to households.
"An Internet option cannot come at the expense of reaching hard-to-count communities. Because of disparities in Internet access, this is no silver bullet to increasing response rates and could make racial and language minorities, as well as rural residents, even harder to count than they are now," said Wade Henderson, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition of various civil rights groups.

Riders who pride themselves on being great climbers simply must be wired to find the seduction in pedaling skyward. However, when the days grow shorter, getting out and pedaling up mountains can simply become a rare occurrence, limited to weekends only. Luckily, with the Kinetic Rock and Roll gracing your training regime, those other five days of the week need not go without elevation gain. The Rock and Roll is truly a unique training experience, as its patented frame design allows the bike to move naturally as it would on the road. This simulates an incredibly realistic ride for out-of-the-saddle hill climbing. Floating pivot provides a natural ride while the frame moves and rocks from side-to-side with the rider.
The Rock and Roll forces the rider to maintain form and stabilize themselves so that they work-out cycling-specific core muscles. A stable core reduces unnecessary upper-body movement, transferring energy efficiently into pedal strokes. The exclusive Kinetic fluid resistance provides measurable and repeatable workload. With the easy assemble and unparalleled stability and durability, the Kinetic Rock and Roll is the perfect trainer for the serious, watt-producing racer, looking to find and stay on form. Saddle up, Rock and Roll, and be the first to the summit!

Some hundred Scouts and adult volunteers converged on Camp Chief Logan near Chapmanville this weekend.
The heavy rains didn't slow them down either.
Scouts got a first hand look at predator trapping, dog training and archery deer hunting presentations made by adult volunteers.
Hands on time was allowed for supervised trap shooting, fishing and 22-rifle target practice.
A pretty busy and varied weekend was had by all hands not to mention the usual fun, camaraderie and at times bad cooking and pranks that go hand-in-hand with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
The local Scout Camp is part of BSA's Buckskin Council and Chief Cornstalk District, the latter serving Logan, Boone and Mingo counties of West Virginia and Pike County, Kentucky.
However, the District often hosts visitors from well beyond that range as demonstrated this past weekend.

Best Foot Forward or Best For Last in a Sequential Auction
2006, Rand (Bell) Journal of Economics
Archishman Chakraborty, Nandini Gupta, Rick Harbaugh
Should a seller with private information sell the best or worst goods first? Considering the sequential auction of two stochastically equivalent goods, we find that the seller has an incentive to impress buyers by selling the better good first because the seller's sequencing strategy endogenously generates correlation in the values of the goods across periods. When this impression effect is strong enough, selling the better good first is the unique pure-strategy equilibrium. By credibly revealing to all buyers the seller's ranking of the goods, an equilibrium strategy of sequencing the goods reduces buyer information rents and increases expected revenues in accordance with the linkage principle.
Chakraborty, Archishman, Nandini Gupta, and Rick Harbaugh (2006), "Best Foot Forward or Best For Last in a Sequential Auction," RAND Journal of Economics, Vol. 37, No. 1, Spring, pp. 176–194.

Hello and Goodbye! 0
Hello Freya fans! My name's Katie Antoniou and I'm thrilled to be one of Freya's new bloggers. I'm actually about to head off on holiday to America, so I thought I'd write a quick blog post to introduce myself and give you a peek inside my luggage before I set off. Pictured are some of my hand luggage essentials for a long trip- starting in the top left and working clockwise:
Music: I like to have something new on my ipod for a long plane journey- at the moment I have Gabby Young and Other Animals' new album which has been the soundtrack to my summer.
Luxe City Guides: I used to have a real aversion to travel guides; so many just send you straight to all the tourist sites, whereas I actually prefer to discover all the best local hang-outs. I was sent the Luxe limited edition bespoke White Linen summer collection recently- you get to choose which 5 city guides it includes- and was thrilled to see that the London guide book included all the spots I would recommend to someone visiting our capital. I took this to be a good sign that these guys actually know what they're talking about, so I'm looking forward to discovering other cities with their insider knowledge!

Can I just that imo that is not far short of an ideal baggage to come to Zen and Mahayana with. Having that kind of backgrounding will make it a lot easier to understand what it is the Mahayana sutras and Zen teachers talk about.
meindzai wrote:I find it interesting that you settled on Soto, because I always found Soto, at least in it's current form, to be less palatable for me as I've studied Theravada. I of course am not talking about Dogen or anything, but the more modern state of affairs.
Huseng wrote:Dogen himself in my estimation would have got along quite well with Theravada bhikku had he the chance.
Huseng wrote:The lifestyle and practise of Dogen is nothing like what is now called "Soto Zen".
The selling point right now is shikantaza, but in reality Dogen's lifestyle, beliefs and practises were quite orthodox in the Buddhist sense and there was heaps more to Soto even in the early days than shikantaza. Dogen also believed in the existence of preta (claimed to have seen them), accepted the world the eyes cannot see (in his words) and lived a very stoic lifestyle (celibate, sober, vegetarian and darn near broke).
shel wrote:Hi Huseng,
You are suggesting that there are no longer any celibate, sober, veg and renounciate Soto Zen monks? This could well be the case, I'm just asking if you know this to be true.
meindzai wrote:shel wrote:Hi Huseng,

There probably are, but there are also many married, drinking, meat eating ones.
Rev. Nonin Chowaney wrote:In contemporary Soto Zen Buddhism in both the West and Japan, the terms priest and monk are both used, but not consistently. After priest ordination (shukke tokudo), a person is a priest, a novice priest, for it takes a long time to become a full priest. But that person does not necessarily leave home. Some priests are single and can choose to remain celibate or not; it's their choice unless their teachers have specific rules. Some priests are either married (or eventually will be) or are involved in relationships. In some lineages and with some teachers, this is okay. In some lineages and with some teachers, It is not. This is true in both the US and in Japan.
Huseng wrote:I actually asked one of my colleagues what vows he had taken and he couldn't remember.
"It was many years ago when I was a kid..."
shel wrote:Huseng wrote:I actually asked one of my colleagues what vows he had taken and he couldn't remember.
"It was many years ago when I was a kid..."
In American Soto Zen it is ritual to chant the Four Vows daily, after zazen. It appears to be commonly taught that reciting the vows is meant to express the intent to take them seriously. Some lines, like Brad Warner's, don't chant them at all after zazen. I tend to respect this more, as I think it disparages the Buddhadharmma to represent yourself as a serious Mahayana practitioner, make daily bodhisattva vows, and not take them very seriously.
A vow is a solemn promise and is essentially asking for other to credit you with the quality of what it is that you promise. It affords the promiser benefits.
shel wrote:Thanks for clarifying, Huifeng.
I just looked up the 16 Bodhisattva precepts and they are indeed substantially different from the 4 Bodhisattva vows. Interesting! I had assumed the 4 vows were part of the 16 precepts. I think that I thought that because they are Bodhisattva precepts. Virtuous conduct is good for all of course, however there seems to be no emphasis on saving all sentient beings in the 16 Bodhisattva precepts.
Have I misconceived 'saving all sentient beings' to be the heart of Mahayana Buddhism?
Huifeng wrote:The sixteen precepts used in Japan are different again, basically the three refuges, the three "basic" precepts, and then the ten major precepts. In China and Tibet, I don't think they consider the three refuges as bodhisattva "precepts" (though all bodhisattvas would need to have refuge), and the three "basic" precepts are an over-arching simplification of the entirety of all precepts, not found specifically in either the five, eight, ten, monk / nun or bodhisattva precepts. The sixteen are something of a Japanese arrangement, taken from three different sources.
Huseng wrote:I've never met a Soto Zen priest who was celibate, refrained from alcohol and meat, and refrained from wearing lay clothes. I've never met one who said he or she was just celibate either.

Home ⋅ Graduation Announcements and Graduation Invitations ⋅ 2 Photos ⋅ White
"I had tried on several other sites to customize a card for my daughter's graduation party invitations and could not get what I wanted. With tiny prints, the upload was easy, the photos turned out beautifully and the designs they offered were unique and beautiful. Also the envelopes fit correctly! You may not think this would be an issue, but I had ordered shower invitations from a different site and the envelopes were two inches too long. Tiny Prints is my go to online stationary store from now on!"
"I used a beach scene for this product. I made sure that the quote didn't cover anyone's face and it displayed beautifully over the sky and waves. I love the subtlety of the letters and the way they blend with the background. Paper quality is amazing, it's thick and presents the colors beautifully. I enjoy writing on it everyday."
"This is a fun, personalizable mug & I love it! We get a mug from Tiny Prints every year for our family to update as our family grows. It's a great quality & it's convenient that it's dishwasher safe."
"Because I was announcing both my children's graduation --- I loved how this came out! I put a fun photo of the 2 of them on the back...and incuded confetti in the envelope. These are traditional diploma looking --- but yet fun too!"
"After reviewing the many options available - my son actually liked this look the best. I used the rounded corner look --- The paper quality, photo quality were awesome --- shipping was prompt --- and I also used the bold style return labels which complemented it well. Loved them!"

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

First all of, like most of you, I have looked at numerous debates about relgious people defending their delusion. When asked to provide proof, of course it fails. When asked about beliefs the debate becomes pointless.
However, in some cases some people doclaim evidence of god, or fear this evidence being real (so you better believe!)
Yet incredibly in the aethiest/scientific arena I see little being done to show how these are absurd and the evidence faulty. We have a prime opportunity to pull their rug away from their innermost fears and beliefs, thus helping them overcome these deep seated irrational fears or superstitions. And we fail totally ,myself included, by just saying "that evidence looks rubbish" .
I find it amazing how most of the debates follow reasoning over what the bible said or the other book said and how in history this didnt happen. That just a numbers and words game. When religion claims evidence as proof, as it has done as a last resort, why don't we go for for the throat of that 'evidence' ?
Their arguements for supernatural evidence are often reduced down to these kinds of things, to choose 3 examples:
(i) "So how do you explain miracles, they are evidence of god's power!"
(ii) "How about demons, they are evidence..you can see film of it! And thats proof of hell!!"
(iii) "Holy spirit entering people and speaking tongues. That's real proof right there!!"
I appreciate not all branches of a religion support all these. And I am not talking about Bob the Mormon who knows god is real because God saved him in a car crash. I am firmly focusing on the evidence put forward by the religious , often when backed into a corner.
So taking each point above:
(i) I've seen the claims of miracles and they seem fairly poor, especially those claimed by faith healers. Ive found nothing else which appears unbelievable to me thus far. Perhaps someone else can add to this; is there anything like an extensive list of miracles that have been shown as nonsense despite being originally believed as real.
(ii) Now you can watch videos of exorcism on youtube (Makari Yunan, Bob Larson) etc. Now even if you think they are all frauds, can all these crazy reactions all be explained by personality disorders?
I am not saying there are supernatural happenings here,I am saying that there must be some other explanation of this phenomenon. By what method are all these people self-deluded into produced low husky voices and screaming? Auto-suggestion? All of them?
I have found some research but not a lot. I must admit I find some of it frightening.
(iii) Ex-christians have said it was just nonsense and that tongues was just gibberish. The various holy spirit films show people jumping about in joy, sometimes foolishly I think. What's the psychological explanation of that?
Take away some of these core fears and beliefs, reduces their ammunition. Yes, some ardent defenders won't believe it anyway, but those would seek to use this stuff as evidence will have their powers reduced.
