at the Shambhala Meditation Center of NYC
Shambhala Meditation Center of NY
118 West 22nd Street, 6th Floor between 6th & 7th Avenues.New York, NY 10011
United States

Sun, 9/11/2011, 11:00am - 4:00pm
"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
-- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Join us on September 11th, 2011 as we commemorate the 9/11 tragedy with a free public meditation event, held in the spirit of love and healing. People of all faiths are invited to join members of The Interdependence Project, the Shambhala Center, the Jewish Meditation Center of Brooklyn, The Village Zendo, Won Buddhism of Manhattan, Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and other NYC meditation and spiritual communities. Some of New York's leading meditation teachers, including Acharya Judy Leif, Shastri Ethan Nichtern and Alison Laichter, will provide guided instruction throughout the day.
Together, we will open our hearts to all people affected by this tragedy, and wish for the well-being of all who have brought compassion and peace to our city over the past decade. To support this intention, we will practice a Loving-kindness (Mettā) contemplation that generates love within one's self and gradually extends it outwards to others.
This free event will take place from 11am-4pm on Sunday, September 11th 2011
at the Parade Grounds on Governor's Island – an open outdoor space with a view of lower Manhattan, and a 15 minute ferry ride from downtown.
** Note, due a forecast of thunderstorms, the event will now be taking place at the NY Shambhala Center. (Directions below!) Participants may arrive and leave at any point during the event, but an RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com is recommended so that we can plan appropriately.
Note: We will be serving some light refreshments throughout the day, but participants are encouraged to bring a lunch.
To RSVP for this event or if you'd like to volunteer or help out organizing, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Directions to the Event
Shambhala Meditation Center of New York is located in Manhattan at 118 West 22nd Street, 6th Floor, between 6th & 7th Avenues. We're very close to the 23rd Street stops of the 1, F & V subways and the PATH train. Parking lots are available one block away on 22nd Street, between 5th & 6th Avenues.

I think the key themes boil down to how we talk to ourselves, how we respond to things, how we make meaning, who we spend time with, and how we make the most of what we've got. The other key thing is that happiness is dynamic and it's not a static state. It's about living, learning and growing, and rolling with the punches. I also think it's important to think of happiness as a skill. Drive from happiness. For durable happiness, lead your happiness from the inside out.

With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused.Frank M. Shoemake

Right rear wheel will not turn
Took it to a Toyota dealer with this problem. they replaced the left front caliper and 'cleaned' the brakes. wheel was fine. After a 500 mile trip and having the car sit overnight, the next morning, same problem. ugh!
1 Answer
RC 4/1/2010Not sure why they replaced the left front caliper if you told them about the right rear wheel. Check the parking brake cable that goes to that wheel. Is the wheel completely locked up??? Just curious

I do like the idea of using a messenger line and storing the halyard in the mast but it won't work in my application since my halyards and blocks are external.
If one wants to replace their halyards with messengers when they aren't in use, then the messenger should be attached (sewn) to the open end of the halyard and the halyard is then lowered completely where it can be stowed in a bag at the mast keeping the messengers attached or below if you want to separate them. This works for internal or external halyards.
It makes little sense to me to attach the messenger to the shackle and simply sky the halyard leaving the splice or knot exposed to the elements.
One caution; If using a very small diameter messenger, be sure to keep it under tension throughout the entire process or else the messenger may jump the sheave and become jammed between the sheave and cheek.

It's no secret that what we eat has a direct impact on our skin. Fruits, vegetables and herbs can enhance our skin as well as our diets. But did you know that they can also be beneficial when applied topically in your skin care regimen?
Read on to discover how three well-known culinary favorites can rev up your beauty routine.
Cranberries (Oxycoccus Vaccinum) grow in bogs throughout the northern hemisphere's cooler regions on evergreen shrubs and creeping vines. A major commercial crop in the U.S. and Canada, most cranberries commercially grown are processed into juice, jam, and sauce and sweetened and dried. The deep red berries, which ripen in the fall, are considered a superfruit, due to their high antioxidant and nutrient content. In fact, it is the red color (due to the concentration of anthocyanins) that gives cranberries their antioxidant and anti–inflammatory properties, making cranberry a perfect ingredient for anti–aging creams and skin–soothing masks. Look for cranberry in these products:
skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
Skin Authority Ultra Rich Moisturizer
Pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo) are a variety of squash that are typically round, with smooth, ribbed deep yellow to orange skin. Native to North America, commercially grown pumpkins are widely used for both food and decoration. Most parts are edible, including the shell, seeds, flowers and leaves. Rich in Vitamins A and C, pumpkin is beneficial not only in our diets but also in our skin care routines. Pumpkin enzyme encourages cell turnover, helps to brighten dull skin and increases radiance, making it a popular ingredient in scrubs and masks. Pumpkin can be found in these products:
Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Peel and Reveal Dermal Resurfacer
FarmHouse Fresh Splendid Dirt Mud Mask
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Body
Peppermint (Menta x piperita) is a hybrid mint, indigenous to Europe but now cultivated world–wide. The cross between watermint and spearmint is a perennial which grows tall with smooth stems and dark green leaves. It is best cultivated in damp, shady locations. Peppermint has a long history of medicinal use, treating maladies such as nausea, indigestion and abdominal pain. Of course peppermint is widely used in toothpaste and mouthwash, but it can also be beneficial in skin and hair care, due to its antiseptic and cooling properties. Look for peppermint in the following products:
GlamGlow SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Hi-speed internet.This cozy log home is located on 80 acres of pristine private land with fantastic views of the Southwest Rocky Mountains and the sacred Sleeping Ute Mountain! This property is only 25 minutes from Mesa Verde and only 90 minutes from the Telluride Ski Area! It is only 50 minutes from Durango!
The great room has floor to ceiling windows facing south with nothing but trees and rolling canyons as far as the eye can see! The kitchen is fully equipped for your cooking needs, or you can barbeque on the east covered porch with the gas grill. Downstairs there are two cozy bedrooms with double antique beds and a full bath. Located upstairs is the large private master bedroom, which has a king-size bed upon a custom log frame. Connected to the master bedroom is the master bath with a beautiful tiled shower. Central air conditioning and heating will keep you comfortable during any season.
After a day of exploring the ancient cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde (only 25 min away), relax in the six person Olympia Caldera hot tub. If you look hard enough you will find pottery shards, arrowheads, possible kiva sites and other scattered remnants of this ancient culture on the 80 private acres the home sits on. Please do not remove or disturb any of these artifacts.
If you long for peace and quiet, this is the place. The fall weather is gorgeous, the winters are mild and snow country is only a short distance away. The home rests on the edge of a series of tree covered canyons leading up to a spectacular view of the sacred Sleeping Ute Mountain. Not one other human made structure can be seen from the south deck of the cabin to the Sleeping Ute in the distance.
Thanks for a wonderful stay. Your home was just perfect! We loved the solutide at the end of the day. Your hot tub was perfect at the end of a day of hiking. My grand daughter can not wait to get back and tell their friends. We had a perfect vacation.
Was able to book this location at the last minute for a New Year outing in Durango. The weather turned to really cold and snow. The accommodations where what was expected and the quiet surroundings made for a peaceful retreat. We really enjoyed this place and plan to be back. This place is about a 40 minute drive to Durango, but the scenery traveling is worth the location. And with the secluded location, the view at night is really great from the deck.
With wifi and DirecTV, one can spend time entertaining themselves even if the weather turns for the worst while you are there. The drive to the location may make you think where am I going, but when you pull through the gate, you will be happy to arrive.
What great place for the family to get together. The sunsets behind the " sleepin ute" mountain were so beautiful. Mesa Versa is also a special place that everyone should see. The cabin was very comfortable and everything we hoped it would be. Grilling out on the deck with that view was the best.
Was able to book this cabin/home at the last minute for a get away. Even though this was a bit further from Durango than wanted, was not disappointed with the location. Peaceful and private. It was a cold time with snow and had no problems with coming and going to Cortez or Durango. We will be back for sure. The central heat system may be just a little undersized for 0 degree temps, but we were comfortable as it had to operate quite a bit. If you need some quiet time and the view of the mountain is relaxing. The layout inside is great and internet access is great. Was able to check emails for work and respond which allowed for us to enjoy our time here.
Don't let the location discourage from this place. The drive to Durango is not long and scenery will be great.
My husband and I loved the log cabin and the property. The privacy was great, enjoyed hiking on the 80 acres, enjoyed the view of Ute Mtn, cabin was clean and well equipped. Days were spent hiking four national parks including Mesa Verde, Arches, Canyonlands and the Grand Canyon. Also went to Telluride enjoyed the mountain vista, and the aspen at their fall peak. We also visited Durango and had a great meal and enjoyed shopping in the various stores. We can't say enough good things about the cabin and the surrounding towns. Property manager was very prompt in returning our deposit and provided great ideas for places to see. We would go back in a heartbeat and definitely recommend renting this property. Thank you Lana!!
The Cortez cabin met our expectations, and calling it a "cabin" doesn't do it the honor it merits.
We found a spacious home with all the ameneties we wanted, in a secluded location away from the hustle and bustle, yet a relatively short driving distance from Mesa Verde, the Anasazi heritage center,.. .
We loved the large deck with a great view, and regular visits from hummingbirds.
We like to go self-catering, and the kitchen had all the appliances we could wish.
A well kept and clean cabin, we highly recommend!
This was our second time to stay in this cabin, on our previous trip my son did not get to go with us. I really wanted to share this cabin and area with him, so we decided to come back here & once again we had a great time. In the past we were disappointed when we arrived at what was advertised as something that it was not, this place meets and exceeds what is revealed on the web site. The cabin is remote(which we prefer) but is close enough to major attractions. We did our first Zip Line(Raven's Rim) in Moab 2 hours away & rode the Durango to Silverton steam engine train. The views from the cabin are incredible & the wild life is abundant, my wife was able to get within 20' of a mule deer buck by following his tracks. This place will always be one of our favorite memories.
Darrell, Karen, Sarah & Matthew.
There is great hiking on the 80 private acres or drive a few minutes to the head of Sand Canyon and hike into 164,000 acres of public land. This area contains the highest known archaeological density in the United States. Portions of this undeveloped monument have more than 100 cultural sites per square mile-some individual sites cover 10 acres or more. From this location you can go east to Mesa Verde National Park 19 miles away or keep going to Durango 53 miles away. In Durango ride the narrow gauge train to Silverton or have an evening meal at the Bar D Chuckwagon [reservations required]. Travel north out of Durango to Durango Ski Resort, or keep going over the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton and Ouray. Next head to Telluride and ski down the beautiful snow packed slopes at Telluride Ski Resort. You can go south and gamble at the Ute Mountain Casino about 15 miles away. Visit the Ute Mountain Tribal Park where they give guided tours through their Indian ruins.

Toll nakas aren't popular with road users forced to shell out money for commuting through. Excise officials however found them useful as they helped them make one of the largest seizures of spirit in the state. Officials tracked the movement of a truck carrying spirit through toll nakas and later detained it in Nashik district. It was bringing about 5,500 litres of extra neutral alcohol (ENA) used to produce liquor.
How did excise know?
Inspector Mangesh Kawale of excise flying squad received a tip-off about a truck bringing spirit and heading to Pune. He also knew its the number. Officials checked roads and toll nakas on the route and approached toll stations to get information on the frequency at which the truck kept crossing toll nakas.
Who detained the truck, where?
A raiding party comprising inspector Mangesh Kawale, sub-inspectors SS Deshmukh, AS Chavan, NA Gosavi and others last week at Yewla in Nashik district. They also arrested the driver. The dept is now looking for the Pune-based truck owner and are trying to locate the distiller, manufacturer and end user.
How much spirit was seized?
5,425 litres of ENA in 155 cans of 35 litres each from a concealed area in the vehicle. The cans were covered with groundnut shell sacks. An excise flying squad also seized 3,000 litres of spirit from a tempo at Songir in Dhule.
How much is it worth?
Spirit seized in Yewla is worth over Rs 38.75 lakh.
Has the driver been arrested?
Yes. "He is a small link in the chain," said Kawale. He has been asked to handover his vehicle at a spot on Jaipur-Delhi bypass and collect it 8 to 10 hours later.
Where was the truck headed?
It was to be driven to Pune from where another driver was to take charge.
What happens when drivers are caught?
In the liquor smuggling chain, if a driver is caught others who come to know of it would destroy their SIM cards to prevent detection. This makes it tough to nab the masterminds.
What is the mode of transporting spirit?
Production takes places at point A; one man transports it to point B where someone else takes over from him. So on and so forth. These people do not know each other except through phone calls.
What is smuggled spirit used for?
For making liquor. If it weren't for consumption it would have been denatured before being taken out of the factory, Kawale said.
Why is spirit being smuggled into state?
Liquor is priced high in Maharashtra, which has one of the highest excise duty regimes in India. But neighbouring states and union territories like Goa and Daman have liberal policies and liquor is cheaper, leading to huge quantities being smuggled in.
Where is spirit brought from?
Maharashtra is also a transit point for transporting liquor from Haryana and Madhya Pradesh to Gujarat, a dry state.
What is the mode of operation?
Spirit is brought to the Maharashtra-Gujarat border, made into liquor and supplied in Gujarat.
Why is excise dept after spirit smugglers?
Spirit smuggled into the state is sometimes meant for the local markets. It's made into IMFL and supplied to upper-strata of the society. This leads to huge revenue loss for the govt.
Consumption data
In 2013-14, IMFL consumption rose by 7.84% to 1,615.06 lakh BL, as against 1,497.62 lakh BL in 2012-13. The sales of beer have however headed south at just 2,986.09 lakh BL in 2013-14; down from 3,169.34 lakh BL in the previous fiscal (-5.78%). Consumption of country liquor (CL) too fell to 3,210.97 lakh BL from 3,382.99 lakh BL (-5.08%). Wine consumption however rose by 9.71% to end at 50.56 lakh BL from the previous 46.08 lakh BL.

Have fun playing with the subtle twists and turns of the twisted herringbone strap for this beaded necklace. The range in sizes of seed beads used makes it feel like a ribbon when you wear it.
Ladder base: Use 4' of conditioned single thread to string a tension bead, leaving a 4" tail. Work a 2-bead ladder, stitching 2 E, 2 A, 2 A, 2 E, 2 B, 2 B, and 2 B (Figure 1). Pass through the first and last columns to connect the ends, forming a tube and exiting from the top of the 2 E.
Round 1: String 1 E and 1 A; pass down through the next 2 A and up through the following 2 A. String 2 A; pass down through the next 2 A and up through the following 2 E. String 1 E and 1 B; pass down through the next 2 B and up through the following 2 B. String 2 B; pass down through the next 2 B and up through the following 2 E (one bead from the previous round and the first bead strung in this round).
Rounds 2 and on: Repeat Round 1 for a total of 15", stringing 2 beads and passing down through 2, then up through 2 beads for each stitch. Work with a tight tension; after a few rounds, collapse the tube so that the size 8 seed beads become the edges of a double-faced ribbon.
Clasp loop: Stitch a strip that is 2 beads wide for 22 rows (or long enough to fit around the button). Pass through the strip and the end of the ribbon several times to secure the loop (Figure 2).
Work tubular herringbone stitch with increases and various bead sizes to free-form the main petals of the flower, then embellish with fringe and picots. Secure 4' of thread at the start of the twisted herringbone stitch ribbon.
Rounds 1-6: Work 10 C around, passing down through 1 bead, then up through the following bead for each stitch; step up by passing through the first bead in each round.
Rounds 7-10: Work 6 C and 6 E; keep a tight thread tension so the smaller beads begin to fold down while the larger beads begin to fan out toward the top.
Round 11: Begin increasing by stringing 1 bead between each stitch (Figure 3).
Round 12: String 2 beads between each of the increase stitches in the previous round. Continue increasing by stringing 2 beads between each stitch above each increase bead of the previous round (Figure 4).
Rounds 13-18: Continue with tubular herringbone, stitching 2 beads into each pair of increase beads. Work more increases and change beads as desired, with size 11 seed beads in the front of the tube and 3mm hex beads in the back.
Round 19: Form a picot at the tip of each pair of columns by stringing 3 D and passing down through 3 beads and up through the following 2 beads for each stitch (Figure 5). Pass through the round again to reinforce.
Weave through beads to exit from Round 11 on the inside of the tube.
Rounds 20-21: Using size 8 seed beads and stitching through the beads in Round 11, begin a second tube on the inside of the larger tube. Work an increase between each stitch using size 11 seed beads for a total of 20 herringbone stitch pairs (Figure 6).
Rounds 22-28: String 2 beads and pass down to Round 23 or each stitch, creating separate columns of petals; string 1 bead per stitch in the final round (Figure 7).
Eye picots: Exit from the base of the center petal tube. String 3 seed or other accent beads; pass down through one bead and up through the following bead to form a picot. Repeat around the inside of the flower, then repeat again using different beads.
Exit from the back side of the flower, about 3 rounds from the outer edge. String 10-20 size 11 seed beads and pass through the flower to secure them in a line even with the edge. Use these beads as the foundation for more petals, working them until they extend beyond the flower's edge (Figure 8).
Secure the button to the back of the flower near Round 6.
Resources: Seed and hex beads, Beyond Beadery. Glass accent beads: Fusion Beads.
What's your favorite way to use herringbone stitch? To bezel a cabochon or stone? To make a supple but strong beaded rope? Leave a comment here on the Beading Daily blog and tell us why and how you love herringbone stitch!
Bead Happy,
Think you missed a group of 2A's in the ladder. Pic calls for 8 groups, instructions only have 7.
Glad to see that I was not the only one to note it appeared a group of 2A's was missed in the directions for the ladder. The illustration shows 3 groups of 2A's, but the written directions only list 2. I am not totally familiar with tubular herringbone, so this was very confusing!
seems like its just one "2A" repeat thats missing to match the drawing

Love your food reviews even though I'm supposed to be on a lean diet.
Love, hugs and prayers…ME and the Boss

Hello Longhorn Family,
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year. This will be an exciting year with many challenges and possibilities. I have lived in the Luna community for thirty years and am astonished at the growth and progress of this community. I feel blessed and proud to be part of the Luna family.
I was born and raised in Hebbronville, Texas. My husband, Tom, and I have lived in San Antonio since 1975. We have been married thirty-nine years. We have three children, two granddaughters and two grandsons. Both our daughters are elementary teachers in Northside. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy gardening, reading, and spending time with my grandchildren. I am an animal lover and have a cat and three dogs.
I received my B.S and Masters Degree from UTSA. This is my thirty fifth year with Northside. I was an elementary teacher for twelve years. I taught at John Glenn Elementary and Braun Station Elementary. I was an elementary counselor at Westwood Terrace Elementary and at Colby Glass Elementary. This is my sixteenth year as a middle school counselor. I'm enjoying working with adolescents. They never cease to amaze me. I pride myself with the relationships I have made with my students. It's wonderful getting emails from former students who have graduated and have gone on to college. It is my goal to work hand-in-hand with students in shaping their adolescent life, on enhancing their personal, social and educational development, and in helping them cope with life's transitions. I look forward to working with Luna students, parents, and faculty. Together we can promote a successful middle school experience that will enhance the healthy growth of young adolescents!
Go Longhorns!!!!

Didn't want to steal a previous thread, so I'll start this one. Without trading to get new players, what is our lineup in 5 years (you can do fielding, or batting lineup).
C- Miguel Perez
1B - Joey Votto
2b - Brandon Phillips
SS - Paul Janish
3b - Edwin
LF - Jay Bruce
CF - Drew Stubbs
RF - Austin Kearns (he seems so easy to trade, but I just don't know if it will happen) If not him, then hopefully BJ Szymanski has turned it around and is a stud again.
This is a GREAT defensive lineup. Would be very interesting to see this team field.

Major events in GM's recall of 2.6M small cars
Congress, the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are all investigating General Motors Co.'s recall of 2.6 million vehicles for an ignition switch defect which can cause the car to stall and deactivate the air bags. GM links the defect to 13 deaths and more than two dozen crashes.
GM CEO Mary Barra and NHTSA chief David Friedman testify about the recall before a House subcommittee Tuesday and a Senate subcommittee Wednesday.
This is a timeline of key events, based on documents from GM, NHTSA and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
2001: A report on the Saturn Ion, which was still in development, notes problems with the ignition switch, but says a design change solved the problems.
February 2002: GM approves the ignition switch design, even though it was told by Delphi — the supplier — that initial tests showed the switch didn't meet GM's specifications.
2003: A service technician reports that a Saturn Ion stalled while driving, and that the weight of the owners' keys had worn down the ignition switch.
Late 2004: The Saturn Ion's cousin, the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, goes on sale. GM learns of at least one crash where a Cobalt engine lost power after the driver inadvertently moved the key or steering column. GM engineers replicate the problem in test drives. An inquiry is opened within the company, but closes after potential solutions are rejected.
February 2005: GM engineers meet to consider making changes to the ignition switch after stalling reports. But an engineer says the switch is "very fragile" and advises against changes.
March 2005: The engineering manager of the Cobalt closes an investigation, saying an ignition switch fix would take too long and cost too much, and that "none of the solutions represents an acceptable business case."
May 2005: A GM engineer proposes changing the design of the key so it won't tug the ignition switch downward. The solution is initially approved but later cancelled.
July 29, 2005: Amber Marie Rose, 16, dies in a frontal crash in her 2005 Cobalt. A contractors hired by NHTSA found that the Cobalt's ignition had moved out of the "run" position and into the "accessory" position, which cut off power to power steering the air bags.
September 2005: GM's legal staff opens a file on the Maryland crash.
December 2005: GM tells dealers to inform owners of Cobalts to take excess items off their key chains so the key isn't pulled downward. Also, inserts placed on customers' keys can prevent the keys from shifting while in the ignition. The bulletin includes the 2005-2006 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2003-2006 Saturn Ion, 2006 Chevrolet HHR, 2006 Pontiac Solstice and the 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit, which was sold in Canada. Warranty records show that only 474 owners got those key inserts.
April 2006: A GM engineer signs off on a redesign of the ignition switch. The new switch goes into cars from the 2007 model year and later.
October 2006: GM updates the dealer bulletin to add vehicles from the 2007 model year.

ODF Alliance Reports Record Growth in Application Support for ODF
The OpenDocument Format Alliance (ODF Alliance) today reported world wide growth in software applications implementing support for ODF in their products.
"During September and October, there were more than a dozen announcements of new or improved application support for ODF," said Marino Marcich, Managing Director of the ODF Alliance. The non-profit organization names the Mac operating system, IBM's Lotus Symphony, Softmaker's Office 2008, Open Office 2.3, the current beta of Corel's Wordperfect Office , and the new online word processor by Adobe, Buzzword.
ODF also has many supporters in authorities and governments: the organization points out that Open Document has been chosen as the standard format for authorities in South Africa (see the separate news item here), and the Dutch government is current discussing migrating to the free standard.
The ODF Alliance also reports that the Oasis committe has now released the accessibility guidelines for barrier-free use of ODF v1.1 for public discussion. Up to December 21, the public can review Version 1.0 of the Accessibility Guidelines for the free document standard, ODF, and submit suggestions. This ruleset can be seen as the organization's attempt to ensure that users with disabilities will be able to use hardware and software tools to enter information in an ODF document without any restrictions. Tools include special input devices for people without hands, or interpretation aids for users with major vision impairments that describe the images contained in files.
The technical organization behind the Open Document ruleset, OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) relies on public opinion from Internet surveys when defining standards. Currently, the OASIS website has the Genericode neben v1.0 draft by the committee for Code List Representation along with the revised ODF guidelines for public appraisal.

Tensions rising in the Middle East
Once again the world's largest war machine is getting ready to attack a small Middle East nation that is no threat to us. The attack will cause massive loss of life and lead to greater hatred and hostility.
Again, we are being lied to about the necessity for this attack and the real political and economic reasons for our near-constant wars in the Middle East.

Oil should not be reason for Syria
President Obama needs to build the Keystone Pipeline and not draw another line in the sand for Syria. Oil from friendly sources is the answer to the energy question, not war.

Severity differs among MS sufferers
I, too, am a triathlete living with MS. I wanted to share another perspective and concerns on the Aug. 18 article "Disease won't slow down triathlete."
Only speaking to one source gives the impression that the woman represents the millions of people worldwide with MS, each of whom experiences the disease to varying degrees of severity and disability.
After reading the article, someone experiencing disability from MS could feel guilty because they haven't cured themselves with diet and exercise. The public might think ill of someone with the disease because they haven't been able to eliminate the lesions on their brain and spine through diet and exercise.

Vegan lifestyle would honor King
This week's 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's March on Washington is being observed with marches, speeches and speculation on what causes Dr. King would embrace today.
He would certainly continue to work for racial equality. But he would also likely advocate for animal rights. Yes, animal rights. Dr. King opposed all violence, and there is no greater violence than that perpetrated against billions of cows, pigs, and other sentient animals in America's factory farms and slaughterhouses.
Although Dr. King never lived long enough to extend his circle of compassion to animals, his wife, Coretta Scott King, and his son, Dexter Scott King, did by embracing the vegan lifestyle. A great way for us to honor the King legacy is to follow their lead.

Say no to Manning
It is unfortunate how seldom the word "no" is used today and how it has lost some of its power. Whenever it is used to prohibit something that is controversial or unconventional without fail specific individuals, special interest and minority groups stampede to the courthouse steps demanding "no" be changed to "yes."
Case in point, all this discussion about Army private Bradley Manning, who has been sentenced to 35 years at Fort Leavenworth for being a trader, and his expectation of receiving a sex change at taxpayer expense while in custody is insane.
Since the military does not provide this complimentary service during your stay with them, his attorney and other supportive groups have joined forces to see to it Bradley's desire is fulfilled.
Apparently, civilian federal prisons do offer sex reassignment procedures, but Manning cannot serve his time there, because he is still in the Army, until he completes his sentence, at which time he will be given a dishonorable discharge.

Votto takes a walk, and our chances remain alive.
THAT is how you hit when it is late and close.

Great plate discipline there by Votto. He knows he needs to get on base..
Brandon Phillips, for the 80th straight at-bat, swings for the fences on the first pitch and misses by a foot. Phillips is about 20% as good a hitter as he thinks he is.

Football: LionsXII stumble again, losing 0-1 to Sime Darby FC at Jalan Besar
Published on Apr 12, 2014 10:31 PM
The LionsXII suffered their 4th defeat of the season after going down 1-0 to Sime Darby at the Jalan Besar Stadium tonight.
Fandi Ahmad's charges were undone by a Syukur Saidin goal after the midfielder rifled a shot into the bottom of the net just before the end of the first half.
Substitute Sufian Anuar almost drew level for the home side in stoppage time in the second half.
The loss leaves the defending champions in fifth spot with 18 points while Sime Darby climb two places to eighth.

I chose this motel because it was pet friendly and had a reasonable fee. I was happy to find all the basic needs provided in the room, such as a small fridge, microwave, iron and ironing board. I would not be opposed to staying their again if traveling to Perry, GA.

Family Traveling with Young Children
The overall service was friendly, but when questioned why we were charged twice for our bill, both at different rates. The pool was not heated as advertised, and we specifically picked that feature to buy rooms. The kids were disappointed that the vending machines and one drink machine was broken. There were no towels in the pool area and had to go out into the cold, back to our rooms, or go and ask at the desk. This is very inconvenient.

Sonny Bono, the singer who first gained fame as part of the husband-wife group Sonny and Cher, later became a Republican congressman from Southern California.
He was killed after he hit a tree at Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe, Calif., Jan. 5, 1998. His epitaph is the title of one of his most popular songs: "And the Beat Goes On."
Michael Kennedy was the sixth of 11 children of Robert F. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel. A lawyer by training, he helped his brother Joe Kennedy run Citizens Energy Corp., a nonprofit organization that supplied heating oil to people who could not afford it.
Kennedy died in a 1997 skiing accident near Aspen, Colo.
Princess Caroline of Monaco was skiing at an exclusive ski resort in the Austrian Alps, in 2001, when a skier crashed into her while she was with an instructor. The princess, who is the eldest daughter of American film actress Grace Kelly, was airlifted to a private clinic where a keyhole operation repaired her torn knee ligament.
Supermodel Christie Brinkley hurt her back during a 2006 ski trip in Aspen, Colo. The CoverGirl cosmetics model reportedly noticed something was wrong after she fell while skiing. A doctor's visit revealed that she was very close to severing her spinal cord, Brinkley told "Extra." In February 2007, she underwent surgery to address the problem.
John McWethy, the chief national security correspondent for ABC News died at 61 after chest injuries sustained in a 2008 skiing accident. After serving as the nework's chief national security correspondent since 1984, McWethy had retired to Boulder, Colo., with his wife.
Dieter Althaus, 50, is a German politician, the president of the central German state of Thuringia. On Jan. 1, 2009, he was skiing in Styria, Austria, when he reportedly wandered from an expert run onto a beginner's course and collided with a 41-year-old woman, Beata Christandl.
He was wearing a helmet, but she was not. She later died. Althaus, who was seriously injured, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He was fined 33,000 euros (about $41,000), and ordered to pay an additional 5,000 euros to Christandl's husband.
"Depending on whose numbers you use, there are 8 [million] to 10 million regular skiers in America," said Greg Ditrinco, the executive editor of Ski Magazine in Boulder, Colo., "and the number of serious injuries and deaths is low.
"In the last five to eight years skiers have been using shorter, wider skis," he said. "The gear revolution has put people on terrain they would not have been on 10 or 15 years ago. They're skiing more of the mountain."
"But we've done stories over the years about how safe it is -- how it's safer than riding a bike or swimming, things like that," he said.

IT WAS the fairer sex that conquered the King of Fruits at the durian fest held last weekend.
Subang Jaya state assemblyman Hannah Yeoh emerged the winner defeating the other VIPs who sportingly took on the challenge at the charity drive to raise funds for the Children's Wish Society of Malaysia.
The other contenders who didn't mind getting their hands dirty at the durian-eating challenge were Selangor State Local Government, Study and Research executive councillor Ronnie Liu, Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo-Burne, Children's Wish Society president Tan Sri Dr Ramon Navaratnam and executive director Allan Hubbert and Subang Parade complex manager Chay Siew Mun.
All they had to do was hold the half opened durian husk and eat the contents without using their hands.
Cheered by more than 1,000 people who turned up for the event, the contestants went for the pulps with much gusto.
Yeoh did her part within minutes without any mess on her face while the other contestants ended up with durian-smeared faces.
Earlier, Liu and Hannah pledged RM2,500 and RM10,000 respectively to the society.

Uptake of Pramipexole ER Will Be Inhibited by Availability of Generic Pramipexole for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
NASHVILLE, Tenn. and GLEN ROCK, N.J., March 31 /PRNewswire/ — HealthLeaders-InterStudy and Fingertip Formulary find that the uptake of Boehringer Ingelheim's pramipexole ER, the once-daily formulation of its market leading dopamine agonist Mirapex that was approved earlier this month, will be inhibited by competition from generic pramipexole which became available earlier this year. According to the new Formulary Forum report entitled Formulary Advantages in Parkinson's Disease: Which Clinical Endpoints Will Drive Uptake of Emerging Agents?, more than half of surveyed pharmacy directors expect to require patients to fail a generic medication before reimbursing pramipexole ER.
The report also finds the majority of surveyed pharmacy directors will require new treatments to demonstrate improvement in motor symptoms, disease modification or reduction of motor response complications for reimbursement equal to current brands. Surveyed pharmacy directors are least influenced by more convenient formulations.
"Among emerging agents covered in this survey, pramipexole ER was the least likely to be reimbursed by surveyed pharmacy directors–only half expect to reimburse the agent once it launches–supporting our finding that managed care organization pharmacy directors are looking for more than convenience when deciding how to cover emerging Parkinson's disease drugs versus current brands," said Analyst Cindy Fung, Ph.D., author of the report. "The emerging agents surveyed pharmacy directors say they are most likely to cover on commercial and Medicare formularies are all novel therapies, including Solvay's pardoprunox and Acadia/Biovail's pimavanserin."
The new Formulary Forum report is based on a survey of 51 U.S. pharmacy directors who control formularies at national, regional and state-level managed care organizations, as well as historical formulary data from Fingertip Formulary.

Kairali's craft fair is filled with mystery and colour
The sunshine yellows, deep reds and greens, of the Channapatna, toys light up Kairali's exhibition cum sale of handloom and handicrafts. These wooden toys can add an extra touch of colour to any Navratri Golu. The exhibition has a good choice of artefacts that can decorate your golu steps. Artisans from several parts of India such as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh come together to present their wares..
"Authentic handicrafts from Kerala is our specialty. Rosewood statues, brass lamps, banana fibre mats, soft-wood fruit baskets etc. can be found here. We also have traditional Aranmula mirrors on sale for the first time. These mirrors are one of a kind," says Smitha, head of Kairali Coimbatore.
With shiny brass handles, the mirrors carry a certain mystery. They are made of bell metal that is treated with a process known only to one family in the village of Aranmula, on the banks of River Pampa. "Some believe that possession of the metal mirror could bring good luck," she adds. Smiling gloriously with flowing robes and scarves, a grand headdress and face paint is a rosewood Kathakali dancer. There are matching rosewood richly caparisoned elephants, Kathakali heads and snake-boats with pointed prows. The sale also has semi-precious stone jewellery, pure leather goods, khadi shirts for men, kurtis, khadi silk saris, salwar suits and velvet-cotton bedspreads. "We leave the weaving to the women since it requires a lot of patience," smiles T.A. Ramesh from Madurai. He patiently explains the nuances of a bright Rameswaram silk sari. "The specialty of these saris is the thread work in the border and pallu," he says. Ornate parasols similar to the ones that tower above the caparisoned elephants at the Pooram festival are on sale too.
The Kerala Crafts Fair 2010 is on at Jeyam Hall, Race Course till September 19 from 10.00 am to 8.00 pm. Entry is free. For details call: 9952598027.

Dr. Gabe Simpson told the crowd gathered for the dedication ceremony for His Hands and Feet homeless shelter Sunday afternoon, that he hopes those in need will "feel the love of the community " more than the comfort of the bed or the nourishment of a hot meal.
The outdoor ceremony was held between the new facility at 34 Foundry Hill Road and the Mercy in Me Free Medical Clinic. Ken Rivers and Brad Jenkins opened the event with several gospel songs.
"Today we publicly and corporately dedicate this place, this very dirt, between these two buildings," said Simpson.
"There's plenty still to do here, still messes to be made and cleaned up," said Simpson, "meals to cook and eat."
Simpson said the new facility is "completely paid for," making its daily operations feasible. Those staying overnight will be responsible for cooking and cleaning their own meals.
Simpson asked the crowd to not stop coming when all the painting was done, all the grass cut, and all the dishes put away. He asked them to come and share their lunch on the picnic tables, soon to be placed on the grounds, and share their "life by example" with those who need encouragement.
Simpson also said he hopes the new facility will be "more than a homeless shelter. We know the Holy Spirit will be here because his people dwell here."
A Prayer Garden is planned for the future to take advantage of the huge oaks in the back of the property.
Indoors, rooms originally used as examining rooms for Dr. James "Jim" Thrailkill, have been individually painted, furnished, and decorated by various church groups, organizations, and individuals.
Those visiting the shelter will also be able to use the washer and dryer. Local plumber Ricky Malloy donated his time and expertise to install two showers for facility.
"We want this place to not only shelter people from the rain, but from the sin of the world," said Simpson.
"A safe place, a sanctuary."
