The Worst Buddhist in the World
Judith Warner of the New York Times writes on the feeling of abandonment when a friend gets into all that "mindfulness, the meditation and life practice that's all the rage now in psychotherapy, women's magazines, even business journals, as a way to stay calm, manage anger and live sanely."
She then discusses Mary Pipher's new book:
"It helps to realize we are not alone," the psychologist Mary Pipher writes in her new book, "Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World," an account of how mindfulness meditation helped her recover from the depression and self-depletion that followed the surprise success of her huge 1994 hit, "Reviving Ophelia" and subsequent bestsellers. "One thing I like to do is send my silent good wishes to people all over the world who have problems exactly like my own. Contexts may change, but emotions are universal."
I have no doubt that this meta-connectedness feels real, and indeed is real, in the abstract at least. But in real-life encounters, I've come lately to wonder whether meaningful bonds are well forged by the extreme solipsism that mindfulness practice often turns out to be.
Mindfulness, she says, is "stultifyingly boring." Plus, your friends won't like you if you suddenly turn sane.
Share with a Friend
Ms. Warner does not say that "mindfulness practice" is boring she actually says "as an experience to be shared, it's stultifyingly boring."
That is very different.
As I read her blog, I wondered if she was identifying the possiblity that mindfulness practice, having become a commodity to be purchased (via books, CD's, seminars), is now for some a status symbol, like reading the right books, listening to trendy music, or buying expensive eco-chic clothing. So instead of (or along with?) a means for personal growth, mindfulness practice can be a topic for idle cocktail-party chatter. In such cases, stultifying indeed!
"Meta-connectedness ..is real, in the abstract, at least"...I wonder what this excerpt means. I wonder if our writer knows. Whatever could abstract connectedness be?
Abandonment is a discomfiting feeling, and our columnist has chosen the route of simple pique. Perhaps her pique leads her into discrediting this "all the rage" meditation medicine. If she wants to stick there, fine. If not, there's always mindful investigation...
We have a long discussion going on our blog about the pros and cons of Judith Warner's blog:
I read Judith Warner's column in the NYT regularly and gnerally find them thought-provoking. I think Warner reveals in this column that she really just doesn't know enough about mindfulness and that she's dealing with friends who are beginners, too. At least she has the courage to raise an issue that many who are not very familiar with mindfulness concepts think but don't ask. A good starting place.
Meh, there's nothing to argue about here - she thinks mindfulness is boring, which means she's either not doing it right, or she's at the intelligence level that requires the presence of shiny objects in order to be engaged. There's so much in her statement that indicates a clear misunderstanding of mindfulness practice, which of course is true of about 99.9% of the population, so I don't understand why people would be upset about that. She doesn't get it, so what?
As a regular reader of Judith Warner's column, enjoy reading her postings regarding mental health, and I disagree with Gianna's assessment that JW's views on psychiatry are "hard-core pro-pharma;" indeed, Judith seems to have a skeptical and thoughtful take on the issues.
I respect Judith's point of view in her posting on the subject of mindfulness, and can relate to the discomfiting feeling of being around "pod-people" who appear to be rejecting a lot of their own experiences in favor of peaceful feelings. I know, because I have had friends respond to me that way in the past -- wondering, "who are you, and what did you do with my friend?"
In my continued practice, I'm discovering that rejecting the "dark corners" of ourselves and our world, including our own unpleasant emotions and ickiest fears, can be a clever way of carving out a cozy place to hide from pain. Perfectly human thing to want to do. But how is getting comfortable and cozy helping me to "wake up?" Sure, boredom can maybe be more interesting than Judith allows -- even "stultification" is an admittedly pretty rich term -- but isn't she reacting to the fact that her mind is sharp, fertile and rich, full of discernment and wisdom, and that it would be a shame to throw it out so you can sit around savoring one raising after another for the next 30 years?
The tricky thing is, people have lots of different reasons for deciding to practice "mindfulness" or meditation and other contemplative practices. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche teaches about locating your own motivation, asking yourself each day what your motivation is to practice, and behave in certain ways. In my case I basically came to meditation just to feel better, less depressed -- to seek shelter. My motivations have expanded and grown over time, causing me to become more brave and curious about others and myself, warts and all. But plenty of days, I sit in meditation as a way of checking out from my crazy mind. Other days, I am more able to be friendly with what can get pretty nasty.
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche stresses that it's not like we have to reject our "small" motivations -- the selfish or ego building inclinations that lead us to the cushion -- it's just good to be aware of it. It's a starting point, after all.
If Judith Warner finds her friend creepy for making nice with jerks or finds herself being dishonest while reciting platitudes like "it'll be OK," it appears to me she's identifying "idiot compassion."
Mindfulness-awareness practice in meditation or post-meditation doesn't mean becoming a pod person. If my house catches on fire during practice, I'm gonna get off the cushion and react...
I think this stems largely from the continue assumption that meditation is something you do sitting in a remote place away from all worldly distractions. The fact that mindfulness and meditation can be done during any activity needs to be more widely taught. If sitting meditation was all there was, then I imagine it could be stultifying after a bit.
well I'm a hard-core mindfulness practitioner and I still have plenty of edge and insanity!! I read this earlier on the NYTs and she annoyed the hell out of me and I was quite mindful of just how annoying she was...
I'm hardly disconnected from reality...she simply doesn't get it.
Of course the woman routinely annoys me about all her attitudes about mental health and her basically hard-core pro-pharma stance...that she conveniently adjusts when politics dictates it might be better for readership...
oh, I'm such a nice, peaceful, zen-like, mindfulness practitioner, aren't I?
Just blissed out and not at all bothered by her nonsense.

"There are prohibitory orders in some parts of the city [Srinagar] as well as in some other districts, but curfew has been lifted from the valley," Muzaffar Ahmad, a police official, told the Reuters news agency. "The situation generally remained peaceful across Kashmir valley, barring a few incidents of stone pelting."The curfew was imposed on Wednesday.'We want freedom'During a 24-hour suspension of the curfew on Saturday to allow residents to celebrate the annual Miraj-un-Nabi festival which commemorates the Prophet Muhammad's night journey to the heavens, clashes broke out in three areas of Srinagar. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse rock-throwing protesters.Elsewhere in the city, thousands of demonstrators shouting "We want freedom" and "Blood for blood," followed Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, a separatist leader, through the streets.
"Our civil disobedience and peaceful marches will continue until India withdraws its military and paramilitary soldiers from populated areas," Farooq, the chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, said, according to The Associated Press news agency.Residents said security forces have killed 15 people during recent rallies.

In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance, the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book. Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, "Love - and the unity it attests to - is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father." More than ever, the church needs to respond compassionately to a needy world.

Vintage: 2008
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Varietal: Barbera
Unusually for a grape grown in a hot climate, the Barbera grape varietal has a high acid content and remarkably light tannins, resulting in wines which are at once intense in flavor and light in body. This favorable combination has made it a popular grape for centuries in its native Italy, and changing international tastes have prompted it to become one of the most widely planted red grape varietals in the country. As a result of its growing popularity, many New World countries beginning to catch on and plant it where it can thrive and develop its unique characteristics. Barbera grapes are adored by wineries, as they are extremely vigorous and can produce high yields with little intervention, and are ideal for oak aging and for selling as young wines, packed with hedgerow fruit flavors.
Region: Piedmont
The beautiful region of Piedmont in the north west of Italy is responsible for producing many of Europe's finest red wines. Famous appellations such as Barolo and Barbaresco are the envy of wine-makers all over the world, and attract plenty of tourism as a result of their traditional techniques and the stunning setting they lie in. The region has a similar summer climate to nearby French regions such as Bordeaux, but the rest of their year is considerably colder, and far drier as a result of the rain shadow cast by the Alps. The wineries which cover much of Piedmont have, over many generations, mastered how to make the most of the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive here, and nowadays are beginning to experimenting with many imported varietals to increase the region's range and meet international demand.
Country: Italy
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

This man needs to be tied with a cable around his neck tied to a truck and then dragged for 10 miles to his death. How could anyone do such a horrid, painful thing to a defenseless soul.. I hope he burns in hell.
Don't know if hell exists. If it does, it's right here on earth. Sadly...some good kind humans have to share the planet with them. If it were up to me, these monstrosities would have sever punishment. What the heck...I would even opt for capital punishment!
I say turn about is fair play !!! We know who this animal is, go get him tie a cable around his neck and drag him down the route he dragged his dog. At the store parking lot load him into the truck drive him away so no one has to look at him, and leave him there to DIE in pain & agony !!!!! That's JUSTICE !!!!!!!
amen Ro....make sure to go that extra mile to make sure the low life will not make it once dumped in the woods in the back country...
The "owner" should be dragged to his death just like he did to that poor dog!
I agree Carla, the County Sheriff should drag the owner to jail behind the cruiser. Save the taxpayers from wasting money keeping the POS in jail.
This is sickening and so sad...I cannot think of how much pain and suffering this poor dog went through. We need to get the killer!
The people who saw the dog still alive let him drive away after he was done shopping??? THIS WHOLE THING SOUNDS AWFUL!! SIGNED AND SHARED!
I can't imagine what this poor dog went through. Bring charges against the driver and the asshole who tied him to the truck. These people have no soul and heart. Karma is a bitch! What goes around comes around!
Poor excuse for a dog owner, that can not be bothered to train their dog or worse still teach them to be aggressive. This issue really makes my blood boil.
I've tried not to look at this story. Things like this upset me to no end when law enforcement doesn't do their jobs it makes it even more upsetting.This poor animal suffered and nothing is being done about it.I think someone is playing favorites in the Sheriff's office!
Lets drag the owner down a coral rd then on the beach for a mile or three.
I'll join you Rick! Whenever I read something like this, and the police won't charge or do anything, then believe vigilante justice is warranted. This dude must be a friend of the police, or these police are the most heartless bastards!
I say that we make it a National Law, that anyone who abuses any animal should be abused by the same way they abused the animal. They should also be denied any medical care by any medical care givers. They should be burned in gas chambers, as they had as much compassionate as the Nazi's had for people. Whether they killed the Gift from God or not. Charity Rollins, Reno NV

U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., has joined with fellow Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Dick Durbin of Illinois in urging President Obama to use an executive order to reduce or get rid of tax breaks for companies that move their headquarters overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
In letter to the president the three Democratic senators stated that while Congress considers a legislative solution there is a need for swift action by the president.
You may have gotten a letter in the mail recently from your health insurance company asking whether you wanted to opt out of something called an "all payer claims database."
It's pretty basic: in order to save a little money, most people have to stick to a budget. But before you can sketch out that spending plan, you need to know where your money's been going and how much you've been spending on everything. Then you can look for places to trim and skimp.
So too goes the theory with health care spending. Or at least, that's the idea behind several new efforts:
New rules for Medicare Advantage plan members give seniors more flexibility to opt out of plans that drop their doctors from the network.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced that Medicare Advantage plan members will be able to switch plans if those plans drop doctors mid-year without cause. These are Medicare plans offered by private insurance companies and often operate like HMOs.
Thousands of Rhode Islanders have signed up for health insurance in recent weeks, some for the first time. I'm thinking that means some might not be so familiar with our health care system, or they might not know how to keep costs down with plans that carry higher deductibles or out-of-pocket costs.
So... here are a few tools to help you navigate, from finding the highest quality, to keeping costs down, to managing your own health. It's not an exhaustive list, but a start...if you're starting from scratch!

I adore this and will order in the largest size next time. Leaves my dry coarse long curly hair shiny and soft Like nothing else has
This has really revived my dry hair
excellent product thank you so much
Best product I've found for the condition of my very bleached hair
Good product which I have constantly repurchased. Helps strengthen my coloured hair but by no means life changing.
Elasticizer Extreme is a fantastic product. Left the product in my hair overnight. Noticed the difference to my hair straight away following shampooing, conditioning and blow-drying.
My wife is very pleased with the results.
On only one use hair was greatly improved softer and shinier will order this product again in the future amazing!
Tried this in a starter set and have now bought a big size. This pre shampoo treatment drenches hair with moisture, now I have soft, silky hair, will be buying this regularly.
Best hair care products in the world, the entire range.
Second time I have purchased Elasticizer and used it several times.
Have not noticed any difference at all, hair even frizzier''''
This product is amazing and the feel unique price is fab.
Works brilliantly!
My hair regularly coloured as I am sadly mostly grey, my hair is really porous and I have tried lots of different treatments. Elasticizer extreme is the best that I've found my hair is soft and conditioned
Leaves hair feeling fuller & smoother
LOVE this product, really makes a difference to my hair.

Six Is Nine
"And this is a 6 from somebody's house, or is it a 9? Ya don't know!"If you turn the figure 6 upside down, you get a 9, and vice versa. We all know that. This trope is about those cases where confusion between these two numbers becomes a plot point. The most common (but not the only) scenarios:
— Moe trying to solve a mystery, The Simpsons
- Causes some sort of confusion in the plot, that doesn't allow it to advance (like the example below).
- It's used for The Reveal or a Plot Twist. Often, but not necessarily, is the Number of the Beast.
open/close all folders
- This is why you'll occasionally see a line beneath these two digits, or their glyphs are otherwise distinct.
- Alternately, a period (.) will be placed behind the digit, indicating which end of the symbol should be at the bottom.
- In many schools in the United States, students are taught to write their 9s with straight lines, making it look like a lowercase sans serif 'q'.
- Star Trek: Voyager had an ad for its 30th anniversary episode where they showed the number 1966 (Star Trek TOS's first year) and rotated the first 6 into a 9.
- In the Line of Fire used this quite well in one of their trailers.
Anime and Manga
- In The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, the title character notices a '90' tattooed on her arm that wasn't there before. It isn't until she time leaps a few more times that she realizes it was the number of leaps she had left, and it was actually '06'.
- Gang members Scorch and Chills in Yu Gi Oh ZEXAL use the Number monsters "Number 61: Volcasaurus" and "Number 19: Freezadon", which have opposite motifs (fire and ice), body styles, strategies, and stat at 2500 (Volcasaurus: 2500 ATK, Freezadon: 2500 DEF).
- Elie from Rave Master gets her name from reading her tattoo after suffering Identity Amnesia. She read it upside down: the tattoo actually says "3173".
- Used for a gag in the final episode of Gundam Build Fighters Try. Meijin Kawaguchi announces the winner of the Meijin Cup modeling contest is Entry #9, Minato Sakai. After Minato gets a moment to boast, Meijin looks more closely at the card and corrects himself, saying that it's actually #6, making Yuuma Kosaka the winner. As Yuuma takes the stage, we see Minato crumble into dust.
- The Far Side: In one cartoon, a painter has just painted "999" on Satan's office door in hell. Satan doesn't look happy, and the painter says "I must have been holding the dang work order like this!"(ie: upside down).
- There was a Pearls Before Swine strip where Pig is sitting contently, reading a comic book. Suddenly, The Bluebird of Happiness flies onto his window and announces that he has been watching Pig for years, and thinks he deserves some joy in his life. Pig thanks the bird, who replies "No, thank YOU, Joseph C. Skalabonsky!". It was then revealed that he was supposed to go to 608 Bradbury, but he held the directions upside-down and went to 809 Bradbury, which is Pig's house. The bluebird then says "Ohhhhh.", flies away, and Pig sighs.
- In The Broken Ear, Tintin realizes that the license plate "169 MW" is actually "MW 691" flipped upside down.
- In a FoxTrot comic, Peter's teacher is handing back a test:
Peter: [yelling for the whole class to hear] A 99! I got a 99! I knew it! I'm gonna own this semester!
Teacher: You're holding it upside-down.
- Newspaper cartoon from about 30 years ago:
Boating lake worker: Come in No. 61, come in No. 61.
Other boating lake worker: We don't have a No. 61.
First boating lake worker: Oh dear! Are you in trouble No. 19?
- Astérix in Britain: Asterix and friends get the address (number IV in a row of identical suburban huts) of the thief who stole their barrel of magic potion. But when they bust down the door, it turns out to be a perfectly ordinary couple living at number IV (the I fell off).
- In National Lampoon's European Vacation, the Griswolds spend some time with German-speaking relatives. As they leave, they slam the door and the 6 swings down and becomes a 9, they'd been staying with strangers and didn't realize it.
- In End of Days, the Number of the Beast is really 999.
- Something like that happened in the French/British Film La Grande Vadrouille, set during World War II, with hotel rooms 6 and 9.
- In the film version of Minority Report, there was a scene where John Anderton gets Crow's hotel room wrong due to the figure 9 or 6 having a screw loose.
- This happens to Lenny in Memento, causing him to bash a random motel resident in the face.
- In The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Pluto interrogated the body clinic specialist to find the identity of the crime boss and was given "WZW" initials as a clue, but found no results upon searching. Realizing the initials was read upside-down, he searched "MZM" and found one result.
- The plot of Ruang Talok 69 is set off when the 6 on a flat door keeps flipping accidentally to resemble a 9, resulting in all kinds of mayhem.
- Eighties Tom Hanks comedy The Burbs had the villains' house address being "696". No points for guessing the 9 was flipped.
- In the 1990 Italian comedy Le Comiche ("The Comic Actors") in the 3rd episode the numbers on hotel rooms 6 and 9 keep flipping every time someone as much as touches a door, completely disregarding common sense. Room 9 is occupied by a jealous husband with a beautiful wife, followed by a busful of lovers; room 6 is occupied by newlyweds accidentally driven to nervous breakdown by protagonists in the 1st episode. And the delivery man keeps confusing the doors (he's new at this job, he's a Traveling Salesman working off the damages inflicted on the hotel earlier that day).
- Done oddly in Identity where it's revealed that the guests are being killed in the order of their room numbers. Shortly after one of the characters walks into room 9, the closing of the door causes their number to flip to 6, making them the next target. The fact that they're all alternate personalities in a Battle in the Center of the Mind means this might not be coincidental.
- In The Mona Lisa Mystery, Jessica, staying in room 9, sees someone enter her room at night. Turns out that her roommate had earlier slammed the door, so that one screw came out and the 9 fell upside-down.
- There is one scene in a Patrick McManus story where one of the characters wakes up in the middle of the night on a camping trip, takes out an analog watch, and reads it upside down, interpreting it as 7:00 instead of the intended 1:30.
Live Action TV
- In the How I Met Your Mother episode "Bad News", the numbers 50 to 1 are hidden in the episode as a countdown until Marshall receives the news of his father's death. A file folder Barney is holding is marked with the number 9, and later the folder is picked up upside down, now representing the number 6 in the countdown.
- In a Halloween episode of Quantum Leap, Sam leaps into the body of a horror writer whose street address is 669. Near the climax, the 9 flips upside down to reveal that the devil is amongst them.
- Parodied in an early episode of Saturday Night Live, one sketch was a parody of The Omen. Late in the sketch, one character accuses the child, Damien, of being spawned from Satan, and they should check for the Number of the Beast on his forehead. One character checks by standing behind the child, and declares that everything is okay with him, because the number on his forehead is 999.
- Cheers: The bar has a raffle using numbered pingpong balls. Number 99 gets chosen, but Sam points out that the 99 looks like a 66. Hilarity Ensues.
- And then at the end of the episode, the number 11 is drawn, but Woody flips it over and laments, "Here We Go Again."
- Parodied in 3rd Rock from the Sun:
Harry: "Dick, I've lost all feeling in the left side of my body. [looks at can upside down] Could somebody please call "1-1-6"?
- In episode 9 of The Unusuals, the cops find out that the perpetrator of the case they're investigating lives in apartment #6. They go to the apartment, and find the wrong person entirely. Naturally, the apartment they knocked on was actually #9, and the nail had fallen out of the top of the sign. (Cue chase scene, set to "Tunak Tunak Tun", as the actual perp has had plenty of time to prepare to flee...)
- In a short sketch on The Benny Hill Show, Benny as a jealous husband breaks into a hotel room and shoots the man & woman in the bed. Then he takes another look at them, looks at the room number, rotates the 6 to a 9, and sheepishly exits.
- In an episode of cult The Seventies British cop show The Sweeney, the "6 with a screw missing turns into a 9" gag is used in a scene where a very respectable family are eating dinner when armed policemen crash into their home, and are just as surprised as they are because they were expecting to meet armed criminals. After the mistake is cleared up, the officers leave with apologies and the family calmly return to their meal. Moments later, a crash is heard in the distance, and the father comments that it sounds as though they've found number 9.
- In an episode of Diagnosis: Murder, a woman found a dead mime in the house she was staying at. She then noticed the 6 in the house number had a nail missing, making it a 9, and she deduced that whoever killed and left the mime got the wrong house. It turns out it was a Red Herring.
- Doctor Who episode "Terror of the Vervoids":
Rudge: Uh, no. The other way round, I think. You are in cabin 9, and that is where you will find your luggage, Professor.
- The Electric Company: A sketch about a lucky number versus an unlucky number.
- Kutner tries to pull a fast one on Dr. House by flipping his candidate number (6) over once he'd originally been eliminated. House finds it amusing and (since he pitched a good idea) gave him another chance.
- Happens in an episode of Get Smart when Max and the Chief are under the Cone of Silence. As usual, it isn't working right, so Max decides that they should use CONTROL's secret word file, which contains a bunch of different cards which they show to each other. Max's first cards read, "Is KAOS after 66?" The Chief replies with "Who's 66?" Max realizes he has the last card (the one that said "66") upside-down, and flips it over to say "99".
- In an episode of Supernatural Sam & Dean investigate an old folks home and think they've found a demon-worshiping old woman because she has an inverted cross nailed to her wall. A scene or two later, Dean is impersonating an orderly and the woman asks if he finally came to fix her cross, which has fallen upside-down.
- Jimi Hendrix referenced this trope in his song "If 6 Were 9" from his album Axis: Bold as Love. In 1994, a group called The Beautiful People created a club-mix called "If 60s were 90s".
- Comes out many times in riddles like in Riddle 58 here, as seen in the solution.
- Episode 4 of Retarded Animal Babies featured a fake TV screen as a bonus feature, and selecting Channel 666 will lead to a video of Satan eating children from a bowl. Channel 999 is this upside down.
- Victor Borge, during his Phonetic Punctuation sketch, would pull out a book and read a passage. "It starts on page nine." He would look at the book, realize he's holding it upside-down, turn it around and say, "Page six."
Puppet Shows
- The Math Factory had an episode where Cranston and Stubby were playing with a card (19 is 61 upside down).
- In Old Harry's Game, there is a bit where Satan received a phone call intended for the emergency services because the caller had the phone upside down.
- A Running Gag in the Australian comedy Verve, by Mark Lucas. Various characters turn up at 16 Sunnybrook Crescent, the apartment of Butt Monkey Mitchell Germaine whose wife slammed the door too hard after walking out on him. First is Warren (a TV repairman who believes it's No. 19) then Leon (a dyslexic pizza deliveryman) and finally escort girl Tasha.
Mitchell: I've got it! Number 19.Tasha: That'll cost you 100 bucks.Leon: What the dude means is that you were looking for No. 19 Sunnybrook Crescent.Tasha: One! I was called to No. 1 Sunnybrook Crescent.Mitchell: Excuse me. (goes outside and returns with a shocked expression, holding the 9 in his hand) I don't believe it!Warren: Well she must have slammed it very hard.Mitchell: I don't believe that George Lorimer in number 1 would order a prostitute!
Video Games
- Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors makes the Number 9 a plot point by having June's bracelet [a 6] actually being a 9, which allows her to open any of the doors in the game, making it an important hint to who Zero actually is. Although it's later revealed that her bracelet is actually 0.
- In the fifth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, a piece of evidence contains a note that reads "6-7S 12/2." However, the note was apparently written upside down and it actually reads "2/21 SL-9," tying it to another case altogether.
- In Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy), a Timed Mission puts police detectives Carla and Tyler in a hotel attempting to find the protagonist, Lucas, who is hiding in room 369. The player controls Carla/Tyler, but the first "room 369" you enter has someone else inside; the lettering on the door un-sticks and swivels to reveal that they're actually at room 366. The mistake gives Lucas just enough time to get his own objective done and hide.
- Pops up every so often in the Professor Layton games. If a puzzle requires you to manipulate a set of numbered tokens which can be freely rotated, it's probably a good idea to assume this trope is in play.
- In The Shattered Medallion, you have to rotate a series of letters that could be N or Z, U or C, H or I, and M or W to find an arrangement that spells out a clue.
Western Animation
- An episode of Rugrats involved Tommy being kidnapped as a result of criminals succumbing to this trope.
- In the "Snow White" special of the "Tales From the Crib" series, one of Angelica's magic mirrors rates her a nine, then to show his disdain for her, he turns the card over to rate her a six.
- In Veggie Tales, Larry the Cucumber never got his pizza in one Silly Song because the house number (16) on his door was broken.
- When April O'Neil of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series was posing as a news reporter, she wore a badge saying she represented Channel 9. When it was damaged, it flipped down, making her a reporter for Channel 6, referencing the original series. One of several shout-outs in that episode.
- In Hey Arnold!, after Arnold visits Eugene in a hospital room from a bike accident, the loose screw on the 9 of the door's room number causes it become a 6. Eugene therefore gets his tonsils and his spleen removed by mistake.
- In Spongebob Squarepants episode "Born to Be Wild", 'W' is 'M'. SpongeBob rips the letter 'W' from the shirt of a biker belonging to a scary gang, the Wild Ones. The biker actually belongs to a much tamer group, the Mild Ones. The 'W' and 'M' were allegedly mixed up in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV" as well; when SpongeBob shrinks people and things with Mermaid Man's belt, Patrick tells him he has it set to M for "mini" instead of W for "wumbo." This doesn't seem to do anything, but Mermaid Man's later comment indicates there really is a "wumbo" setting.
- There is also another example of 'W' is 'M' in The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries episode "A Nutcracker Scoob". Daphne finds a lapel pin on the floor with the initials W.N. on it, which everyone believes stands for Winslow Nickelby. In the end, it turns out that they were holding the lapel pin upside-down so the correct initials were N.M. for Nanette Musette.
- In Futurama, the crew are nearly killed when the professor put a bomb timer on upside down, making the countdown much shorter.
Leela: That idiot! It wasn't set for 25 minutes, it was set for 52 seconds!
- The Simpsons: The official answer to "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" involves a clue where Burns left when he fell on the town sundial, pointing to W and S which implicates Waylon Smithers - except from his angle, he was pointing to M and S for Maggie Simpson, the true culprit.

Travers candidate J W Blue worked
four furlongs in company Saturday morning on the main track as a final serious
prep for the "Mid-Summer Derby" on Saturday at the Spa.
Under exercise rider Ricky Legall, J W Blue ran on the inside of
workmate Tech Fall, and the two
went around virtually on even terms with J W Blue slightly ahead the entire
time. They were close behind another horse working in front of them, and J W
Blue reached that horse during his strong gallop-out.
Trainer Tony Dutrow said the Sky Mesa colt, second last out in the
Barbaro Stakes on July 9, was working 4 ½ furlongs, although the NYRA clockers
timed the effort as five furlongs in 1:00.20, eighth best of 40 at the
distance. Tech Fall, fourth last out in the Grade 2 Dwyer at Belmont Park,
received the same clocking.
"J W Blue has never been an impressive work horse," Dutrow
said afterward. "His workouts are workmanlike, and I saw a workmanlike
workout today with a very good gallop out. I feel like our horse is well
prepared to run Saturday."
J W Blue, a powerfully built, almost blocky dark bay, has tantalized
with his talent. He was on the Triple Crown trail in Arkansas
this past winter, and then moved to Delaware
where he finished second in the Floor Show as well as the Barbaro stakes, his
most recent start.
"His last race was good," Dutrow said. "He got a 4 on
the Ragozin sheets. We always hoped he was capable. He's always been an
immature horse. These last six weeks he is not immature anymore. He just grew
Dutrow was glowing about the performance of his 3-year-old filly Pinch Pie, who finished third in the Grade
1 Alabama at a shade under 19-1, the longest shot on the board.
The daughter of Victory Gallop, owned by Michael Dubb, had won two
straight races going into the Alabama
but was not considered in the same class as the rest of the field.
"I was so happy," Dutrow said. "I can't express
it any better than that. We knew we were putting our necks out there. We were
believing our filly would run good. She seems to have come back from the race

DRI Corp. announced that its Digital Recorders Inc. subsidiary in Durham, N.C. received an order worth more than $1.5 million from a U.S. transit authority located in the Southeast.
"Shipment is expected to commence in second quarter 2010 and to conclude in fiscal year 2010. This order, which reflects our end-customer's confidence in our Digital Recorders engineered systems, is significant to our fiscal year 2010 business plans and continued technology development," said David L. Turney, DRI's chairman/CEO. "The order also is directly related to U.S. stimulus funding projects."
Products ordered include: Talking Bus automatic voice announcement systems; Digital Recorders automatic vehicle location and tracking systems; OTvia real-time passenger information systems; and PASS passenger advisory sign systems.
Providing transit system operators with timely information regarding vehicle operation, location and security, these products also help transit passengers quickly obtain travel information for a more user-friendly travel experience.
Will use Waze's navigation system to identify which routes cars take most often, and try to pair drivers with people looking to travel to the same destinations.
So far, just five bus stops in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island provide arrival times, though smartphone-equipped riders can track their bus on transit apps and the MTA's Bus Time feature.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.

1993 Buick Century Problems
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
The torque converter clutch can stick "on" after extended freeway driving causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. Our technicians tell us when this occurs, the engine usually will restart and stall when put into gear. After allowing about twenty minutes for the engine and transmission to cool down, the engine will start and the transmission will operate normally. Replacing the torque converter clutch solenoid, transmission filter, and fluid will generally correct this issue.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.

No. NIHCL2011-096, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services for items needed for patient care at the Clinical Center, Edmund Safra Family Inn, and the Childrens Inn at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Encompass asserts that the solicitation impermissibly bundles the linen requirement in a manner that precludes performance of the work by a small business in contravention of the requirements of the Small Business Act. Encompass further argues that the agency is improperly using a reverse auction to conduct the procurement.

Buy this photo Alistair Sanderson and Andrew Gregory with their mobile cocktail bar
Gill Oliver, Business and Property Reporter / / NewsFollow @@justajourno
THREE friends are hoping to cause a stir at county events after opening a cocktail bar in a vintage van.
Andrew Gregory and brothers Alistair and Richard Sanderson have turned a 1981 Citroen H van into a well-stocked bar in their business venture Bar de Cru.
The trio sourced the van from France through a London dealership and spent 18 months restoring and converting it.
Mr Gregory, from Kidlington, said: "Originally we just wanted to get a catering van and do coffees.
But it then grew into a mobile bar instead so we could do events, weddings and corporate things."
He said they had spent a lot on the project as they wanted it to look perfect, adding: "It was a lot of work. The van was a complete rust bucket.
"We have spent a hell of a lot on it getting it to where it is now, but we had to. No expense was spared.
"We wanted it to stand out from the crowd."
And the 24-year-old said the van was proving popular so far, adding: "Everyone is really amazed and it makes a really good focal point for any event we are at. Everyone seems to love it."
