High school football
Granite Bay starts over - as usual
By: Bill Poindexter
Grizzlies again looking for 44 starters, and have plenty of candidates
It occurred to Ernie Cooper after the 1996 season, the first year Granite Bay High School fielded only freshmen and sophomores on the football field, that the same guys were playing offense and defense and most of the others weren't playing at all. The team didn't improve. "We said we have to develop more kids or it's going to be the same story every year," Cooper recalled. It wasn't the same story the next year and hasn't been since. Granite Bay's first varsity team, minus seniors, went 3-7 but improved significantly, and the Grizzlies went 8-2 with their first senior class in 1998. Granite Bay won back-to-back Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championships in 1999 and 2000 and another in 2007. The goal of Cooper and his staff each August is to find 44 starters – on offense, defense and special teams. While there are exceptions to the rule, the Grizzlies have hit that goal "a few times," Cooper said. "It's been successful for us. It works here," Cooper said before "Meet the Grizzlies" night last Thursday. "It has helped us motivate kids in the offseason. The kids are being asked to do one thing. That has led to bigger squads. We found we had more kids interested in playing." That's true again this season, as 70 players are on the 2010 roster for Friday night's season opener at home against Reed of Sparks, Nev. While the Grizzlies must replace all 11 starters on defense, they do have some returning performers – notably Brendan Keeney, a 6-foot-3-inch, 205-pound junior quarterback who passed for 1,681 yards and 18 touchdowns with just seven interceptions last season. "A lot of people would say we run the fly offense, but we have a pretty good passing game," Cooper said. Also back are tight end Matt Kasner, flyback Cory Brehm, who rushed for 500 yards and five touchdowns last season, and offensive tackle Gavin Andrews (6 feet 6, 320), who started every game as a sophomore. Defensively, Granite Bay has players who can get busy all over the field. Inside linebacker Andrew Wright has sideline-to-sideline ability, according to Cooper, and Brock Kent is a lineman who can drop into pass coverage. "He plays like a strong safety," Cooper said. Cooper believes there isn't one weak team in the rugged Sierra Foothill League and expects season records to be in the 8-2, 7-3, 6-4 range, as losses are going to be picked up along the way because everyone has to play each other. He also expects "a few sleepless nights." "But it's great competition," he said. "It's going to be entertaining for people." Bill Poindexter can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. GRANITE BAY GRIZZLIES 2009 record: 9-3 overall, 3-2 in the Sierra Foothill League (tied for second), lost to Folsom in the quarterfinals of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs. Season opener: Friday vs. Reed of Sparks, Nev. Primary weapons: Quarterback Brendan Keeney, flyback Cory Brehm, defensive lineman Brock Kent. Eye opener: Inside linebacker Andrew Wright. "He can step up and deliver a blow, and he has a tremendous motor," coach Ernie Cooper said of the 6-foot-1-inch, 225-pound senior, who can cover sideline to sideline. Notable: The Grizzlies have to replace all 11 starters on defense, but that's nothing new. Granite Bay typically plays its seniors and each season seeks 44 starters, including special teams. SEASON SCHEDULE All varsity games start at 7:30 p.m. unless noted Friday, vs. Reed (Sparks, Nev.), 7 p.m. Sept. 3, at St. Mary's, 7:15 p.m. Sept. 11, vs. Oakdale in Dublin, 2:30 p.m. Sept. 17, vs. Vacaville Sept. 24, bye Oct. 1, vs. Pittsburg Oct. 7, at Nevada Union, 7:15 p.m. Oct. 15, at Woodcreek Oct. 22, vs. Del Oro Oct. 29, at Rocklin Nov. 5, vs. Roseville

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - While defending champion Los Angeles has become
well-versed in dealing with one-goal contests this postseason, Chicago is the
team which has found a formula for winning those tight games. Marian Hossa's
tally late in the middle period was the game winner, sending the Blackhawks
to a 2-1 victory over the Kings in Saturday's Game 1 of the Western
Conference finals from United Center. Patrick Sharp registered the other
goal for the Blackhawks, who were coming off an emotional 2-1 overtime
victory to dispatch the rival Red Wings in a Game 7 on Wednesday. Corey
Crawford needed to make just 21 saves to record his ninth win of these
playoffs. Justin Williams potted the lone score for the Kings, who fell to
1-4 in their last five games decided by the slimmest of margins. The lone
victory in the bunch -- a 2-1 decision in Game 7 over San Jose this past
Tuesday -- landed the visitors in the conference finals for the second
consecutive season. Jonathan Quick held up well in defeat, stopping 34 shots.
This best-of-seven set continues on Sunday night in Chicago.
Final Score: Boston 3, Pittsburgh 0
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Tuukka Rask stopped all 29 shots he faced
for his first career playoff shutout, while David Krejci notched a pair of
goals to send the Boston Bruins to a 3-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins
in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals from CONSOL Energy Center. Nathan
Horton added a goal and the primary assist on Krejci's two markers for
the Bruins, who produced the franchise's first postseason whitewash on the
road since a 4-0 result in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Vancouver
nearly two years ago. Tomas Vokoun suffered the loss despite making 27 saves
for the Penguins, who rolled into the semifinal round thanks to a five-game
decision over the Ottawa Senators. Pittsburgh, which hadn't been held
scoreless in any contest since February of 2012, will look to even the series
at home in Game 2 on Monday.

God's Presence in the Darkest Moments
God's appearance in a burning bush teaches us to be present with and provide comfort to all who suffer.
This week we begin to read the Book of Exodus. Wehear about the oppression of the Israelites under anew Pharaoh who "does not know Joseph" and hence feelsno remorse at enslaving, degrading, and even murderingJoseph's people. We are also introduced to Moses, theman God has chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egyptand onto the road to the Promised Land. We hear agreat deal about the earliest encounters of Moses withGod--Moses' hesitations and protestations, God'sencouragement and eventual frustration, and finallyGod's appointment of Moses' brother Aaron as partnerand spokesman in the events of liberation that willsoon ensue.
But undoubtedly the most powerful moment in the birthof Moses' relationship with God is the initial one.Moses is tending his father-in-law Jethro's flock inthe wilderness, when he comes upon "the mountain ofGod, Horeb" (Exodus 3:1). What follows is one of the mostwell-known visions in the Torah: An angel of Godappears "in a blazing fire out of a bush," causingMoses to look intently. What he sees startles him--abush aflame, but not consumed by the fire within it.
In a moment God will speak, introducing Himself toMoses--"I am the God of your father, the God ofAbraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"--telling him of the divine plan for theliberation of the Israelites, and informing him of his(unasked for) role therein.
God's words to Moses are clear, but the vision whichMoses sees remains opaque. What is the meaning ofthis desert thornbush, and why is it paradoxicallyaflame but unconsumed? What does God intend tocommunicate to Moses (and to us) through thisenigmatic vision?
Midrash Tanchuma, a classical Rabbinic commentary,emphasizes that God shows Moses a thornbush, ratherthan one of any number of larger trees which couldhave been chosen. The lowly bush is a metaphor for adeep truth about God: God is committed to being withIsrael during its time of distress (Psalm 91:15).
Just as Israel is enslaved and confined, so also isGod, as it were, enslaved and confined. The bush, withits injurious thorns, represents Israel'ssituation--cast low and hurt in manifold ways. Thefire in the very heart of the bush representsthe presence of God amidst Israel's suffering andhumiliation.
Exodus Rabbah, a Midrashic text, makes a similar point. It tells us the burning bush is meant to teach us that "no placeis devoid of the divine presence, not even a lowlythornbush." As the emerging leader of the Jewishpeople, Moses has to know and believe at the very coreof his being that there is no place in the world inwhich God is not present (leit atar panui mineih

John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

It has happened, there are now more internet-connected gadgets than people in America.
According to the NPD Group, there are 425 million internet-connected devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles in American homes, compared to 311.5 million Americans.
It also seems many Americans have a growing appetite for screen-sharing. The "shared-screen" experience, such as streaming a movie or photos from your smartphone or tablet to the t-v, is expected to be used by more Americans in 2013.

It is an Independence Day to remember for a handful of people who became American citizens Thursday in Kinston.
The 26 people are from Taiwan, Turkey, Burma and many other places.
The community gathered at the historic Harmony Hall for the ceremony.
Congressman Walter Jones was also on hand to welcome the group into their full time citizen status.
For one new American this is a particularly special day. Suwichak Finneran has served in the Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune and was deployed to Afghanistan. He says, "Sure it is special for everyone but um, for me, it just feels right, ya know, that I've been in the Marine Corp and I should definitely, I mean, I served the county."
This event is a tradition for Kinston. It was first held in 2005.

Build A Catch Can - Step By StepWritten by John McGann on April 1, 2011
With a little ingenuity and the right tools, you can make just about anything you need. This month we burned up some aluminum in an effort to make a homemade catch can. More specifically, we will use this as an air/oil separator for one of our cars' PCV systems, and we did it with scrap aluminum from our local metal-supply warehouse.

Here are some of the tools and supplies you'll need for a job like this. We grabbed some remnant 3-inch tubing and sheet aluminum from the remnant bins at M&K Metals in Gardena, California. Left over from previously cut sections, scrap aluminum is available by the pound at discounted prices. This is 6061-T6 aluminum, which is overkill for this application-we could just as easily have used 3003, but the 6061 is what was available in the size and shape we needed.To cut the tubing into usable sections, we had to switch the blade in our chop saw to one meant to cut nonferrous metal. Aluminum can't be cut with the typical organic-material cutoff wheel. The aluminum clogs the blade. Instead, you need a toothed saw like this Rigid bimetal saw blade we bought at Home Depot. We cut the tubing in bite-sized sections-about 4 inches long.To make the top and bottom of our can, we used a 3-inch hole saw to cut sections from the sheet of 6061 we bought with the tubing. We drilled out whole circle sections for the top and bottom of the can. The semicircular pieces we cut on the edges will be used as baffles inside the can. Though aluminum is easier to cut than steel, we sprayed the blade with some penetrating oil to keep the saw from overheating.Next, we used a stepped drill bit we bought at Harbor Freight to make a hole for the AN fittings we will use to plumb the can into our PCV system.Since we're using 1/8-inch tubing, we set our welder at about 100 amps. Miller's Diversion 180 TIG welder was designed for the hobbyist. It runs on either 110 or 220 volts and is priced at around $1,500- very affordable for a TIG machine. If that's not in your budget right now, you could use a MIG welder with an aluminum spool gun, or even an oxyacetylene torch.If you are using a TIG welder, be sure to use the correct tungsten. A pure or thoriated tungsten electrode works best welding with AC current. Electrodes are identified by colored bands: green for pure tungsten, red for 2 percent thorium, and orange for 2 percent cerium, which is better suited to DC welding. We used a pure (green) electrode.Though some people recommend manually forming a ball on the end of the electrode before welding aluminum, we ground ours to a point. A ball naturally forms on the electrode as you use it, as seen on the tungsten in our torch.No matter what alloy you're using, there is a tough but transparent oxide layer covering the entire piece. Think of it as surface rust you can see through. Complicating matters is that this oxide layer melts at a higher temperature than the base metal. Use a brush with stainless steel bristles to break up the oxide layer, and clean the whole piece with rubbing alcohol. Do this right before you begin to weld because the oxide layer re-forms quickly.We began by welding the baffles in place. To hold the baffle at the correct height inside the tube, we propped it up on a seal driver. Our work surface is the Nomad welding table from Strong Hand tools. We attached the ground clamp to the table's steel top, eliminating the need to have to attach it directly to the piece we were working on.
With the argon tank set to flow at about 20 cfm, we tack-welded the baffles into place. You don't need to go overboard, either. We tacked ours in four places. Have a set of pliers handy, too. Aluminum transfers heat more easily than steel does, so the whole piece will get very hot very quickly.With the baffles and lid welded in place, we used a 2 1/2 -inch hole saw to cut the opening for the threaded inspection cover.The drill wobbled a little and we ended up with a bigger opening than we wanted. The weld-in threaded collar just fell right through the hole.To get it to stay in place while we welded it in, we put several small tacks around the edge of the opening, essentially creating a shelf to drop the collar on.Last, we welded the fittings in place that we will eventually plumb into one of our car's PCV systems. Keen eyes will notice the holes are in a different location than in the previous pictures. This is the second can we made. The first was pretty ugly.We used 1/16-inch filler wire on the fittings rather than the larger 1/8-inch stuff we used on the lids.

I am disturbed. Very disturbed. First, my day lilies did not give me the explosion of color they had promised. They're now nothing but dried sticks. Harumph, as they say. Second, I'm reading Jeff Sharlet's "The Family." Actually, I've been reading it for a while now, and it's so disturbing that I can only read a few pages at a time before closing the book and worrying about our future for the next 6-10 hours.
If you'd really like to know how we got into the mess we're in, read that book. And when you think that conservatives want us to return so some idealized vision of the 1950s, know this: It's not a fairy tale. They do want to return the 1950s, when The Family was completely in charge of American foreign policy in its drive to spread Christian dictatorships around the world. Want to know why the United States props up certain dictators and not others? Read The Family. Then you'll be as disturbed as I am and I won't be alone.
But that's not the worst of my disturbance. I'm really disturbed about Tom MacMaster and Bill Graber, two straight white guys who, we now know, spent considerable time and energy pretending to be lesbians.
Maybe I'm so disturbed about this because once upon a time I engaged in some online pretending-to-be-someone-I'm-not myself, much to my chagrin. I'm not proud of it. I hurt several people I cared deeply about. And that was between me and them. Bill and Tom's excellent adventures were between them and the rest of the known world
Well, there's Nunzia Rider. That's me, yes, but it's not my real name. I started blogging as Newswriter several years ago and changed to Nunzia when I wanted a real name, like a real person. The nom de bloggue was necessary because I worked for a giant media outlet that frowned on people thinking for themselves and sharing it with the world. Think for ourselves, yes, just keep it quiet. That's no longer necessary. I'll even tell you my real name — KC Wildmoon — but I'm going to keep Nunzia Rider here just so I don't confuse myself any more than I already am.
But I am an honest-to-god white lesbian. Unlike Bill and Tom, who both pretended to be "gay girls," in Tom's case, "A Gay Girl in Damascus," and in Bill's, the publisher of "Lez Get Real, a gay girl's view on the world." Interesting that they both called themselves "gay girls" rather than lesbians, but that doesn't disturb me half as much as the rest.
I've known a couple of men who pretended to be lesbians online to get their rocks off. That's one thing, related to this thing but not the same. Tom, who must have an incredible need for attention, went so far as to concoct "her" kidnapping by Syrian thugs. He was just trying to get the word out about how awful it is there, and some of my friends have even sort of defended him on that ground. But jeez Louise, you don't have to pretend to be someone diametrically opposed to who you really are to get the word out about what a wicked dictator is doing to his own people.
OK, so we don't hear very often about what life is like for LGBT folks in Syria, but good god, do we really have to? What life is like for everyday people, including LGBT folk, is bad enough — anybody and everybody who even slightly opposes the Assad regime is at risk. Sexual orientation is the least of their worries, I'd say. Assad is killing everybody, just to hang onto power. He's a first class asshole, ranking up there with Adolf Hitler, except Hitler's regime at least tried to hide their wickedness. Not Assad. His goons are out there in the open killing people randomly. Unarmed people. People who really want to be free, not like these moronic Tea Partiers here who imagine themselves oppressed by democracy.
Want to know what it's like in Syria? Get on Twitter and follow @Razaniyat or @Monajed or @SeekerSK or @RevolutionSyria or @SyrianWoman. Yemen? Try @NoonArabia or @RajaAlthaibani or @alguneid or @Nefermaat or @iomathanYemen or @ichamza or @womanfromyemen. Egypt? @3arabwy or @norashalaby or @monaeltahawy. Libya? @septimus_sever or @Tripolotanian or @dovenews. And these are just a few. There's also the journalists reporting from inside these countries. It's not rocket science.
But Tom MacMaster couldn't do that. He couldn't even get his sorry ass into Syria to report on what he actually saw. He took other people's experiences and observations and put them on a blog as his own. It doesn't matter that what he wrote was accurate. There are hundreds of people writing accurately about that region of the world, and they are there. They are not some white guy pretending to be a Syrian lesbian to attract attention to himself. Two words, Tom. James Frey. What he wrote was accurate too. Just none of it happened to him.
And Bill Graber. There must be a special level of hell for people like Bill Graber. He was exposed after some reporters thought he might actually be the gay girl in Damascus. Or rather, that "Paula Brooks" might be. That's who Bill said he was. And to keep the lie going, he told reporters that "Paula" was deaf and could only speak to them on the phone through her "father," who was, in fact, Bill himself.
I never read "Lez Get Real." But hundreds, if not thousands did, and dozens of other lesbians (hopefully all actual lesbians) contributed and commented. Bill Graber isn't a lesbian. He's a straight, white, married, former construction worker. He may even fall into the category of straight guys pretending to be lesbians to get their rocks off for all I know. But he cannot, ever, write from an authentic lesbian experience. Maybe he should try fiction, since that's what Lez Get Real is, at least his part of it.
This is disturbing, and, again, maybe more so because of my own shameful history. But it is disturbing nonetheless. Straight white guys have no business pretending to be lesbians, or anything else other than what they are. Privileged is what they are. They can have or do anything they want, for the most part.
Instead, they engaged in intellectual slumming. Insidious, but not the least bit surprising. When you live a privileged life, sometimes it leaks into your little pea brain that other people are actually living while you are plainly not.

LONDON — The re-emergence of Iraq as an oil-producing powerhouse is sending inevitable ripples through the Middle East and the industry as a whole.
The country has surpassed Iran as the second-largest member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, after Saudi Arabia, raising questions about whether other oil-producing countries will need to trim their production to accommodate a rising Iraq.
But more immediate tensions are evident between the federal government in Baghdad and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government, which is based in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil.
The Kurds, who suffered terribly under Saddam Hussein, are determined to maintain their autonomy from Baghdad — not least by developing their own oil resources. Baghdad insists that only the federal government has the authority to grant access to the country's natural resources. But the Kurds are succeeding in attracting some of the world's top oil companies.
Strains between the regional and federal governments were on display Wednesday at the Oil and Money Conference convened in London by the International Herald Tribune and Energy Intelligence Group, a provider of independent analysis and data to the global energy industry.
Hussain al-Shahristani, the Iraqi deputy prime minister, who has been instrumental in drafting contracts to rehabilitate Iraqi oil fields, said Tuesday that Exxon Mobil was in the advanced stages of organizing a sale of its 60 percent stake in a premier Iraqi project, the West Qurna 1 field, to buyers approved by the Iraqi government. Exxon and Iraq have been at loggerheads since the oil company signed an exploration deal with the Kurdistan government last year. Shahristani said Baghdad does not recognize the validity of Kurdish contracts with the oil companies.
An Exxon Mobil spokesman, Patrick McGinn, declined to comment.
Shahristani warned the French oil giant Total and other companies that they faced the prospect of being forced out of their Iraqi projects if they have their feet in both camps.
"They must either decide to present their contract to the federal government for approval or they are in breach of their contract" with Iraq, he said.
But Shahristani is losing the battle to persuade the large Western oil companies. Exxon Mobil, Total, Chevron and Gazprom have all decided that Kurdish oil deals have sufficient potential for profit to be worth risking the ire of Baghdad.
Philip Lambert, head of the London-based advisory firm Lambert Energy, said at the conference that the surge in deals in Kurdistan, compared to a relatively moribund environment in Iraq proper, was a sign that the environment in Kurdistan is healthier.
One reason: As Shahristani acknowledged, Baghdad's contracts are among the toughest in the world. They offer such low returns that — along with continued security risks and infrastructure problems — Western companies are deciding that they would be better off making deals with the Kurds.
Under Kurdistan contracts, oil companies can earn $3 to $5 per barrel, compared with about $1 per barrel under contracts with the Iraqi federal government, according to Wood Mackenzie, a consulting firm in Edinburgh, Scotland.
So far the large companies have been signing exploration deals with Kurdistan, not production contracts. That leaves several years for the governments in Baghdad and Erbil to reach an accommodation before the fields in the north start producing.
A promising future
Southern Iraq is far more important to the global oil picture today, with more than 3 million barrels a day of production, while Kurdistan is struggling to export 200,000 barrels per day. But exploration in Kurdistan is still at a relatively early stage, having started only after Saddam's ouster in 2003. Companies looking for oil in the north have enjoyed a high success rate.
Despite Shahristani's prickliness, there are signs that Baghdad and the Kurdistan government could soon reach an understanding. Under an agreement last summer, Kurdistan has been putting oil into the main Iraq-Turkey pipeline. These exports had been suspended over payment disputes between Baghdad and Erbil, leaving companies like Genel Energy, now led by the former BP chief, Tony Hayward, with no other option than to sell their oil cheaply in the Kurdish market or truck it to Turkey.
Kurdistan's success in attracting the big oil companies does seem to have influenced thinking in Baghdad. Shahristani said there was nothing in Iraqi law that prevented the award of contracts that give companies a slice of the output of fields for exploration. Companies prefer these contracts to the service deals that Baghdad has offered so far, which give companies a per-barrel fee for renovating old fields like West Qurna.
At the conference, Shahristani dismissed suggestions that Iraq would have trouble replacing Exxon Mobil, saying that serious international companies were interested. He indicated that he had dialed back his expectations for Iraqi oil production over the next few years to about 9 million barrels per day from the 12 million that Iraq would achieve if the oil companies delivered on all the contracts they have signed. Iraq's approach could jeopardize Baghdad's ambitions to triple its current level of output on oil, a herculean task.
Iraq, although it is an OPEC member, does not have a quota, in recognition of its need for revenue to rebuild. Shahristani said that once Iraq had reached 4 million to 5 million barrels per day, it could start discussing its production with other OPEC members.
"We don't think that Iraq is going to be squeezing any country out of the market," he said.

How to Practice will guide you toward nurturing compassion, refraining from doing harm, maintaining mental tranquility, and how to develop wisdom. Divided into a series of distinct steps that will lead spiritual seekers of all faiths toward enlightenment, this accessible audiobook is a constant and daily companion in the quest to practice morality, meditation, and wisdom. The Dalai Lama shows us how to overcome our everyday obstacles, from feelings of anger and mistrust to jealousy, insecurity, and counterproductive thinking. Imbued with His Holiness' vivacious spirit and sense of playfulness, How to Practice offers the Dalai Lama's own sage and practical insight into the human psyche and what binds us all together.
©2002 His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Jeffrey Hopkins, All Rights Reserved; (P)2002 Simon & Schuster, Inc.; SOUND IDEAS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.
"The Dalai Lama offers elegant clarity about the paradoxes at the heart of Buddhism." (Publishers Weekly)
"As a primer on living the good life, few books compete with How to Practice." (Amazon.com)
"What a Blessing!"
At first, I gave this title only 4 stars, but then I found myself listening to it everyday in the car. Suddenly, my life has changed,
my practice has risen several notches and my behaviour has been modified. What a Blessing in the truly Buddhist sense.
"This is a great book!"
I have been studying Tibetan Buddhism for about three years, and I find that the books written by the Dalai Lama are outstanding. This book is no exception. I have listened to it at least two times, and I intend to come back to it again in the future.
How to practice contains explanations of many important Tibetan Buddhist practices and beleifs. It also contains brief summaries and the end of each chapter to help reinforce what you learned and to give you a roadmap for your daily practice. Although my Buddhist practice is not very advanced, I beleive that this book will benefit beginners as well as advanced practitioners. The Dalai Lama's writing style is clear and easy to understand. He is generally serious but he is not above telling a joke or two. Overall, I found this book to be extremely enjoyable.
"The Dharma Flows Through Me Like A River"
Maximum gain reading--the teachings about the nature of reality, clarity of explications on emptiness, the true nature of generosity and compassion, and practical to-do's--all rewards to the reader; but, the greatest reward from this book is the opening that correspondingly happens in the reader's heart as HH the 14th Dalai Lama carries you like a beloved child into the river of the Dharma. I'd say, D.T. Suzuki gave me a kick-start, Kaplau gave me a practice, and now the Dalai Lama has blessed me, initiated me, into a generosity of spirit, and helped my practice mature.
I find that I no longer notice the difference between "practice" and "non-practice" for HH has shown, or instilled, a new understanding of the integrated wholeness of each moment of life. All moments are practice. I no longer wait to "sit" to practice, no longer expect my mind to be a certain way before I am "practicing." It is like finding oneself swimming somehow when before one was only able to float clinging to a log.
Why do I try to put it into words? I believe the lessons of compassion are vital for our world, for our survival as a species, and for the survival of all sentient beings. This small easy to read book allows compassion to emerge.
The greatest gift to me from reading this book? I am quick to forgive, quicker to give, faster to recognize my delusions and entrapment in afflictive emotions, and without a doubt I now see those around me being more compassionate to one another.
Wisdom is a noble goal. Compassion a noble goal. This book sets out the way, like a child's chalk marks on a sidewalk--clear, simple, familiar already, and the periodic summaries at the end of chapters allow one to return to the lessons of the teacher over and over. You'll want to not only listen to this book over and over, but you will seek out the print version so you can have the three jewels handy beside your night table, beside your chair, your zafu!
"Narrator problems"
I loved the Dalai Lama's Art of Happiness and Karen Armstrong's Buddha, but have been disappointed in this one. The narrator speaks in a monotone and rarely shows enthusiasm for the material. While this has given me an opportunity to demonstrate compassion for a first time narrator, I also want to spare new listeners and recommend another of the Dalai Lama's works.
"Great Book, Awful Narration"
This is a great book. It's probably not for beginners, but if you're serious about Buddhism, you'll definitely want to read this. Note the word READ. The narration of this book is TERRIBLE. Do you self a favor and pick up the old-fashioned paper copy.
"Wonderful Book"
This book changed my life.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama can transcend the divides that exist between humans and show us our tue nature.
Much of our personal experience has taught us lessons; some that we would rather forget. But this book shows us how the difficult lessons in life can be brought together with the beautiful aspects we recognize but cannot internalize.
This book shows us how to develop compassion for ourselves and others so that we can overcome the internal struggles that often lead us to a cynical view of life.
The insights provided by a tibetan monk to a caucasian everyman are astonishingly valid and beneficial.
While much of buddhism is, on it's surface, difficult for westerners to access, this book provides an introduction to the major philosophical insights of buddhism in a manner which is easily understood by anyone.
If you are contemplative and desire to understand more about yourself and a world which seems cruel and confusing I urge you to get this book.
"About last review..."
Well, what a surprise, a book on practicing by the Dalai Lama has a lot of Buddhism on it!! I don't want to offend anyone, but if the Pope writes a book on practicing, it would be based on his tradition, no? The message is, tolerance... one God, many Ways...
"How to practice"
As with the Dalai Lama other work very inspirational and read with ease. Listening is so much easier than reading.
"Thoughtful book"
I would probably prefer print. That way I can refer back to the book for reminders.
An Open Heart. that is another by His Holiness - general in nature - pretty easy to understand
His accent made me think I was listening to the author
Yes, a visualization practice that is repeated several times throughout
I would have given this 5 stars overall but some the material was hard to grasp. The grounding and peaceful nature was a welcome addition to my day. I was sad the book had to end
"Very deep!"
I have to admit that I am pretty new to this type of book and have never before read anything even remotely related to Buddhism. This book quickly became very confusing for me to the point of loosing interest. Definately not a beginners book on 'practicing'.
"How to practise"
loved it and will be taking what I have listened to into my daily life.
"I found this book very hard to understand"
I found this book very hard to understand a little bit beyond my intelligence.
But what I can understand is that he has a very special wisdom.

The National Bank of Commerce (NBC) is expected to celebrate its 45 years anniversary along with plans to launch its mobile banking system in September this year.
Speaking to reporters at the NBC bank ABSA Capital Economic Forum organised by the banks for its corporate clients in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday to share a regional and global economic outlook, NBC Managing Director Lawrence Mafuru said that the bank will celebrate its 45 years anniversary since it was founded early in 1967.
Mafuru said that the bank plans to establish a mobile banking system in September to reduce customers' queues at its bank tellers across the country.
"We have experienced a growing number of customers such as business people and public servants who trade with NBC in their financial needs and services," he said.
He said the challenge of the bank is during the innovation of information technology which enforces majority of its workers to adapt a new working environment of technological banking system.
Mafuru clarified that the number of customers has been increasing since, adding that the bank will continue to open more branches in order to serve more customers in the country.
He said bank's celebration will go along with the improvement of its products as part of its efforts to foster social and economic development of the country.
Mafuru said overtime the bank has developed a number of products such as Islamic banking, mortgage, internet banking and corporate social responsibility.
He noted that one of the successful achievement made by the bank is the recreation of the National Microfinance Bank (NMB) which was within the bank system.
For his part Absa Capital Head of Africa Macro Research Jeff Gable said the Tanzanian economy is expected to continue to grow despite its double digit inflation.
He said the Tanzanian economy will continue to grow if the governments will investment in infrastructure which would lower down the country's food inflation.

Arbonne has changed the fizzy tabs to fizzy sticks. This is s much easier to use especially in a hurry. It dissolves almost instantly and not only do you get the vitamins you get the energy with out getting a burst. No jitters and never have had a crash. My favorite is Pomegranate (just had one) and I have been known to mix the citrus surge and pomegranate for a change of pace. Love this product!

Few highways have achieved the popularity of U.S. Route 66, which for years led motorists from the frigid winters of Chicago south to St. Louis and then clear across the country to the warm breezes of Los Angeles. As Nat King Cole famously sang, "If you ever plan to motor west, travel my way, the highway that's the best/Get your kicks on Route 66."

If a desire to see the world helped entice a young Hank Cintron to sign up for military service, it's a good bet that he wasn't disappointed. He joined the Army from an ROTC program at the University of Puerto Rico at age 21 in 1975, and by the time he retired as a lieutenant colonel two decades later, he had worked everywhere from Venezuela and Nicaragua to Germany and Kuwait.

Episode Plot
After foiling another Team Rocket plan and passing through Twist Mountain, Ash and co. stop off for the night at Don George's Pokémon Battle Club in Astilbe Town. At the battle club, Tepig walks up to its former trainer, a boy named Shamus. He is the previous owner of Ash's Tepig due to Shamus's abandoning Tepig because he believed that it had no talent for battles when it lost to a Deerling but he never cares when he lied. When Ash went to get Tepig, Shamus said that he was glad to give up such a little runt of a Pokémon for its little talent as he finds another Tepig with a little less talent, which enraged Ash after he put two and two together. So Ash is challenged to a Double Battle against Shamus's Emboar and Heatmor:"The Fire Warriors" to prove how useless Tepig is. Can Tepig really prove that his talents are worth anything?
- Pokémon
- In the flashback, it is revealed that Shamus replaced his own Tepig in Accumula Town for another one, then left. How he got the second one is unknown.
- This episode has the same general plot as Charmander - The Stray Pokémon.
- Who's that Pokémon?: Heatmor (US).

While we continue to grow excited for showing off our Halloween costumes, there's something strange brewing in the UK: Capcom, video game developer and publisher of the widely successful Resident Evil franchise, has opened an edible meat market in London. No big deal, right? Wrong. It's a human flesh meat market. Take a look:
Reminds me of the human bakery, in Thailand. This stuff is straight out of someone's nightmare.
To be fair, the meat is not, in fact, made from human flesh. It's mammalian meat designed in the shape of human body parts, though it still gives the whole meat consumption thing an eery vibe.

Pat McCrory's gubernatorial campaign is dismissing criticism that his television ad featuring a former North Carolina sheriff has racial overtones.
Democratic Sen. Floyd McKissick asked McCrory's campaign to stop running what he called an offensive ad in which former Wilson County Sheriff Wayne Gay speaks. Gay was a longtime Democrat now backing the Republican McCrory, and McKissick is the head of the Legislative Black Caucus.
Gay lost to a black challenger in 2010, and McKissick says his comments after that defeat were racially divisive. Gay was quoted saying most black voters in his election voted based on race. Gay is white. He later apologized.
McCrory campaign spokesman Ricky Diaz said Monday that McKissick's criticism of a positive ad is a desperate attack by those who support Democratic rival Walter Dalton.

Re: Fractious Murray outlasts Stepanek
« on: October 13, 2012, 09:58 AM »
, thanks for drawing our attention to the Scotsmans article. I didnt see the match but realise now what a struggle it was, playing Radek at his best. Summed up by the man himself:
"I just managed to turn it around in time," Murray said. "I actually played very well I thought the last ten, 15 minutes of the match. But it was quite scrappy, the first couple of sets. For me, the beginning of the third set was what was most frustrating. I played a couple of really poor shots I would hopefully not normally make on points like that.
"He got that game. Then I got broken the following game after a couple long rallies. He had some unbelievable gets. That period of the match was tough.
"I started going for my shots and dictated a majority of those at the end of the match. Obviously I needed to because he was playing with a lot of variety, making it hard for me. I was a little bit tentative on some shots. I allowed him to come forward. When I managed to push him back behind the baseline, I started to open up the court better and just had a little bit more intensity at the end of the match."
At least Murray was feeling a little better than he had earlier in the week, even if did not look like a well man. Still trying to shake off a virus infection, he was gulping down air after long rallies and could not find the spark he needed to ignite his game until deep into the match.
"I just picked the bug up on the flight," Murray said. "I had a sore throat and swollen glands. Then it kind of went down to my chest and I haven't been able to get rid of it."
Get well soon Andy.
The body's immune system needs rest to fight infection and 3 sets of tennis isnt exactly what the doctor orderd.

Quote from: tomthoms on October 13, 2012, 09:16 AM
To me Boogers is an integral part of my Murray World experience. Particularly his appearances on the live match threads.
He represents the part of me that is thinking "What is that stupid bugger doing out there?! Why is being so passive?!" etc. while I am actually posting "MON' ANDY!" There has been many, many times whilst he has been pointing out to us all just how pathetic Andy's play is or predicting Andy's loss of the match, I wished he was within arms reach so I could grab him by the throat and shut the ******* up! (Or, at least have him in hologram form so I could shout at it/him and throw stuff at him!) But, as many times as I have felt the need to grab him, I have enjoyed witnessing an Andy come-back that shuts the ******* up! (And I kind of suspect that Boogers has been expecting that come-back all along).
Boogers is my alter ego's voice of all those many times that Andy Murray is not playing like Andy Murray can/should. He relates those times like they are; No thrills, no excuses, no bullsh*t!
Boogers is the fan that lives within us all who knows Andy can play a lot better than that and he sets out to let us all know that he is pissed off that Andy is not!
Boogers has been a devoted fan long enough to merit being an integral. Without Boogers out there, Murray World would not be the Murray World we all know and Andy's match turn-arounds would not be as half enjoyable as they are. Thanks for your input and keep up the good work Boogers. (Ya *******!)
Very well said Tom. I think Boogers is probably the alter ego of a lot of people on MW, should they care to admit it or even recognise it.

One last message on Boogers' report on the Murray-Stepanek match and then I'm gone. I am not surprised at the support for Boogers as I've seen it before. That support seems to say: 1) he takes time from a busy schedule to volunteer as a reporter for the site, and 2) he has been a member of Murraysworld for a long time. Both of those conditions are certainly admirable, but I don't think they justify a report like this one. Complaints about Murray's language have been hashed over on this site and elsewhere for a long time. He swears when frustrated. Do any of us do the same? Do any other athletes do the same? Do any other tennis players do the same? Great Britain had a well-known tennis player who was held as a model of gentlemanly behavior. His name was Tim Henman. Indeed, if you listen to the pre-match commentary when Murray first defeated Henman you will hear the contrast drawn between "Middle England" and "urban" and between "red wine" and "alco-pop." I think we know who was which and what behavior was supposed to characterize those stereotypes. Which player would you rather have had? My complaint about this report can be summed up as follows. It reads like a grudging acknowledgement that the dog brought his master's slippers but didn't do it fast enough and didn't wag his tail. Murray is a world class athlete and deserves a bit better than that.

well I for one am sorry that psu will now be gone.
I don't claim to be able to write a match report -and indeed doubt I'd ever be invited to join the excellent team of writers who do write them - but I don't think that means I and others are not allowed to be critical when a report, the first thing someone reads when coming to our website, is so negative. And it's that public face of MW which is why I don't think it's good for all those alter egos to be exposed in what stands as an official report.
Boogers I recall after USO you acknowleged the mantle of resident eeyore and warned that Andy might have a dip after USO. For once I agreed with you ie that we should accept there might be a dip. But some of your postings since then have been worthy of eeyore on speed.
Incidentally according to today's paper Andy has a bronchial infection which I'd have thought would have affected the ability to move round the court as we saw yesterday. Just really pleased he has either thrown it off or was able to play through it today.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- The massacre in Connecticut has hit home for so many.
"You know, my soul and heart bleed for those people," said Thurman Hickman.
However, it's also the reason Hickman visited The Gun Rack after the tragedy.
"In the past week, I've purchased two AR-15s," he said.
It's the same gun police now say Connecticut shooter Adam Lanza used. It's a gun that Thurman believes could become illegal soon.
"The government is going to try to exploit it the best they can," he said.
On Sunday, Senator Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., said she'd reintroduce the assault weapons ban. Others are calling for smaller capacity magazines or even a total ban on guns altogether.
President Barack Obama has also hinted at what he called "meaningful action."
"These tragedies must end," the president said on Sunday. "And to end them, we must change."
"Every time the president opens his mouth, there's more of a rush to buy guns for a few days," said Chuck Scott, owner of The Gun Rack.
Scott has seen that rush at his Aiken store. He says he can't even keep track of how many AR-15s he has in stock.
"It is very fluid right now. We get ARs in daily. ARs are going out daily. We're lucky to keep an inventory. We have to struggle every day to keep an inventory of ARs," he said.
Scott says he's not opposed to some meaningful actions, like better background checks at gun shows. However, he, like Thurman, is opposed to banning weapons like AR-15s.
"I'm for protecting myself, my grandchildren, and my children and anybody I may be associated with at the time, if something happens. If somebody's trying to rob somebody or kill somebody, I want to step in," Thurman said.

- "She's got a sister, CJ, you want her number?"
- — Sweet offering Carl his girlfriend sister.
Sweet's Girl is an early mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sweet Johnson from his house in Ganton, Los Santos.
Carl Johnson drops by Sweet's house, however, he realizes that nobody is in there. Wondering where they are, he heads outside and suddenly Sweet calls. He tells Carl that while visiting his girlfriend in Playa del Seville, Seville Boulevard Families gang members have pinned him down and ambushed him. Carl rushes towards Sweet's girlfriends flat where he finds they are being attacked by five gunmen, armed with Tec-9's (2 guys) and 9mm pistols (3 guys), static on the street by the flat's door. Sweet is shooting back with his 9mm pistol, but his firepower is overwhelmed (expressed by a reducing bar in the right top of the screen), meaning CJ needs to resolve the situation by killing the gang members. CJ kills all the Seville Boulevard gang members before being called by Sweet again who tells him to get a four door car. Carl "finds" one and both Sweet and his girlfriend enter the car as three more Seville Boulevard gang cars start chasing them. Carl gets them to safety in Ganton and decides that they need to put an end to the "green on green" war.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get over to Sweet before the Seville Boulevard set finish him off.
- Get over to Emmet's if you need a piece.
- The Seville Boulevard Families have Sweet surrounded in his girl's flat. Take those Seville boys out.
- Fetch a four door car to pick up Sweet and his girl.
- Get back to your hood.
The reward for completing this mission is increased respect. The mission Cesar Vialpando is also unlocked.
Tips and Tricks
- Although Sweet recommends picking up a pistol from Emmet's place, the mission is easier to complete if the player has taken the time to stock up on stronger guns from the various spawn points around Los Santos and Red County.
- The Seville Boulevard Families gang members will not shoot at the player until they are shot; thus, if the player has obtained satchel charges before the mission, it is possible to place satchel charges on all the gang members and kill them all at once.
- Sweet's girl wears a black dress with a yellow scarf. This is the same as the receptionist at the Las Venturas Planning Department (during the mission Architectural Espionage), and one of the models on the big Zip billboard in Rodeo.
- Some dialogue was deleted from this mission before the gang was deleted. For example, Sweet's girlfriend originally talked during the mission, as evidenced by the audio files.
