Depending on beliefs, there are generally four stages between becoming a Buddhist and attaining Enlightenment, though some belief systems specify this is for the sangha or the "brotherhood" of clergy comprised of monks, ministers, and others devoted to Buddhism. The Buddha's Teachings do not specify that one must be that type of devoted flower to attain Enlightenment, however, as we are all born with an innate Buddha-Nature giving the potential for any to reach Enlightenment.
The different stages that lead to Enlightenment are described in terms of which fetters or bonds are abandoned, and these fetters are divided into lower and higher classifications. There is also, in many schools of Buddhism, an additional specification regarding the number of rebirths or samsara cycles remaining in that person's life before they likely attain Enlightenment.
The Lower Fetters or Bonds
The "lower fetters" include:
- View of self
- Doubt in the Teachings
- Attachment to things, places, ideas, people, etc.
- Sensual Desire (involving any of the senses, not just in terms of sexual desire)
- Ill Will
When a Buddhist first accepts that the Eightfold Path is the one for them, they are, in essence, entering that Path. This process of accepting the Eightfold Path generally includes an acceptance that the Buddha and the Buddha's Teachings are valid, thereby eliminating doubt; the second of the lower fetters listed above. This person also acknowledges the Four Noble Truths regarding attachment and suffering, and although it's a long process, the elimination of attachment, the third of the lower fetters, is also part of this process.
Entering the Path
The view of self is slightly more complicated because it involves concepts that one must experience to fully understand. In essence, that first fetter is the attachment to individual identity, but it is not the abandonment of ones identity that leads to Enlightenment but rather the adoption of a sense of selflessness. When one has accomplished these three things, to the point where they are natural, not forced, then this person is considered to have reached the first stage of Enlightenment and may be referred to as a Path-enterer or Stream-enterer, with the Path or Stream being the Eightfold Path. At this stage, the person is considered to have anywhere from one to seven more rebirths before final Enlightenment is reached.
The Once-Returner & the Non-Returner
The once-returner is one who has successfully completed their abandonment of the first three fetters. As the name suggests, this stage is called the "once-returner" because they are believed to be one rebirth from their final Enlightenment.
When that first stage has been achieved, the Buddhist works to eliminate the fourth and fifth fetters or bonds keeping them from advancing. The elimination of sensual desires, that is those desires for anything that excites any senses, is part of fitting into the second stage of Enlightenment. This is where the person stops pleasure seeking, in a sense. While pleasure can be derived from many things, the active seeking of pleasure purely for pleasure's sake is what the Buddhist wants to abandon.
At this stage, the non-returner also ceases any ill will behaviors, including thoughts. This comes with increased compassion and increased compassion comes with the reduction of selfishness and adoption of selflessness. This is not done to the extreme, as extremes are avoided, so it should not be misinterpreted to mean that one is expected to give beyond reason with regard to selflessness. But, consideration for others, abstaining from judgment, attempting to understand, and being kind for the sake of being kind are part of being a non-returner. The non-returner is often considered likely to be reborn once more but in a life somewhat different from average human life.
The Higher Fetters and the Arahant
The final stage before full Enlightenment involves the abandonment of the five "higher fetters." The five higher fetters include:
- Lust for material reincarnation
- Lust for immaterial reincarnation
- Self-importance, conceit, vanity and pride
- Restlessness – physical and mental restlessness, including worry and boredom
- Ignorance
This list of 10 fetters coincides with the hindrances detailed in Buddhist Teachings. Abandoning the higher five fetters is not something easily done, and it may take many times of almost abandoning but then regressing with regard to each. The arahant is also relatively flexible so sudden, unexpected changes do not result in distress or distraction; changes such as loss, pain, pleasure, and others associated with the fetters that should no longer be an issue at this point.

In "Auditions 40: Rafael Carreras' Uncut Canada," saucy Cuban stud Rafael Carreras bids farewell to the gay porn industry the only way he knows how: by thawing the frosty north with his hot, uncut 10-inch cock! Rafael first pounds slender sex-pot Hayden Colby into submission. Then, he hosts a threesome with the sexy Nikko Brave and Arnaud Chagall. Real-life buddies Gabriel Lenfant and Marko Lebeau enjoy some intense flip-fucking. Boyfriends Adrian Long and Brandon Jones fuck passionately. And ripped Alexy Tyler and dreamy Johnny Maverick drill each other deep. After all of that, what's the best parting gift for Rafael? Loads of cum!
Adrian Long has the look of a top fashion model, but lucky for us, he is a total-top porn star! This chiseled stud is turned on by athletic and natural men. Adrian Long's fantasy fuck includes being with two hot bottoms as he fucks them both hard. His favorite part of sex is rimming and screwing doggy-style. Besides getting naked and sweaty, Adrian loves the movies, running, and reading.
Seasoned sex-pro Alexy Tyler knows his way around a hot body. He is a versatile performer who enjoys everything from being a power-bottom to an aggressive top. The wildest place Alexy Tyler has been pounded is in an elevator. His favorite part of sex is shooting out a huge load while being slammed by a muscular top. His celebrity fantasy is to rope down Tom Cruise and have the fuck of his life!
Toned twink Arnaud Chagall has a hot fantasy of being fucked by a swimming instructor in the locker room. Until that dream comes true, Arnaud continues to perfect his bottoming skills on camera! He is a sports addict who loves all outdoor games under the sun. His favorite place to have sex is in the shower. Guys who turn Arnaud Chagall on the most are bigger than him, with muscles and intelligence.
Sex-charged Brandon Jones got started in modeling because he loves to explore sex in front of the camera. When he was a kid he was obsessed with winning an Oscar. Now, Brandon Jones doesn't have to act because he is "having a blast with every scene." This insatiable power-bottom loves to get fucked doggy-style. His absolute fantasy would be to get gang-banged by an entire rugby team.
Sculpted hunk Gabriel Lenfant started modeling because he loves being an exhibitionist. In his private life, this versatile stud works as a stripper. Gabriel's favorite sexual activity is cum play and his fantasy fuck is having sex while skydiving. Gabriel is a very spiritual person who firmly believes in the powers of good and bad energy. With his bisexual tendencies, this sex-pro is free to explore all of the good and the bad.
Smooth shorty Hayden Colby is all power. This passionate performer loves to show off his bubble-butt and thick uncut cock. Hayden started working in adult movies because watching other guys on screen turned him on so much. Born and raised in Quebec, this bilingual citizen enjoys going to the movies, clubbing, and traveling.
Versatile Canadian hunk Johnny Maverick has a strong taste for uncut and athletic men. His favorite sexual activity is 69 sucking, and with his thick uncut cock, Johnny Maverick is more than a mouthful. The wildest place he has had sex is right out in the open at Niagra Falls. Besides a good fuck, Johnny's hobbies include the movies, photography, and mountain-biking.
Meaty muscle-cutie Marko Lebeau was inspired to start modeling by his father, who did the same when Marko was a child. Like father, like son: this French speaking sex-pro loves to show off in front of the camera. Marko's favorite part of sex is, "all of the cum!" His fantasy fuck would be to have a huge orgy with muscled men all around. Besides a hot sex session, Marko's hobbies include dancing, sports and going to the gym.
Hot and hard things come in small packages. This is true for Latino stud Nikko Brave. He was originally born and raised in Merida, Mexico, but now lives in Montreal. Nikko Brave is one of the good guys who tends to look at the beautiful side of things and refusing to badmouth anyone. But he always has a dirty side. Nikko's favorite position is to get fucked from the side and he loves rimming and sucking. His fantasy is to be in a suck-fest surrounded by hot guys with big dicks.
Cuban cock-god Rafael Carreras is one of the most sexual men we have ever met. Rafael is one of those guys who is horny, hard and naked from dusk till dawn. With his hefty uncut cock, Rafael Carreras prefers to top his partners but knows just as good how to be a submissive bottom too.The craziest place Rafael has ever had sex was on a crowded beach where people were surrounding him as he fucked his buddy. In non-sex news Rafael Carreras currently resides in Ibiza, Spain where he owns a bar and restaurant so be sure to visit!

Ben Affleck has officially been banned from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. He was caught counting cards while playing Blackjack which of course did not go over well. On Friday night, LA Times shared the news about this drama. It is considered an advantage to count cards and he was asked to leave.
Counting cards it not illegal. It is frowned upon though and the casino doesn't like the advantage that it gives to people who do it. You can't legally get in trouble for it, but they did ask him to leave. Basically he was able to get a big advantage by keeping track of what cards had been played already.
Reports say that he was only banned from playing Blackjack but not from the casino totally. Ben Affleck can still stay there and have a good time but he won't be getting rich. He can even play other games in the casino, but things like slots are more about chance and he can't count like he did on Blackjack.
The hotel actually got Ben and his wife Jennifer Garner a car back to their hotel. They were nice to them about it, but they thought that he was too good at the game. Once they told him that, they told him to feel free to play other games in the hotel. If Ben is smart, he will just move on to another hotel considering he is in Las Vegas and it isn't that hard to find one.
Reality TV World just shared that Ben Affleck is working on a new television project with Matt Damon that will keep him pretty busy. It is a show called "Project Greenlight" that used to air on HBO and is now making a big return. They will both be working as producers on the show but an official air date hasn't been confirmed.

J. Longino, 18 Aug 2014: Regarding Gnamptogenys wheeleri, I now have two collections from Costa Rica and one from Tambopata, Peru, that look identical and have a distinctively depressed dorsal face of the propodeum. Santschi (1929) observed this distinctive morphology and it is illustrated in his Figure 18. He associated the taxa G. rustica, wheeleri, and brasiliensis mayri with this feature, all new taxa described in his revision of Holcoponera. Brown (1958) left rustica and wheeleri as valid species but synonymized mayri under wheeleri, with no discussion. The type locality is Costa Rica for both wheeleri and mayri, and the images of types of both on AntWeb show the distinctive character, so this synonymy is probably solid. Lattke (1995) synonymized them all under striatula.
Gnamptogenys striatula and the form with the depressed propodeum are sympatric in Costa Rica and have different habitat preferences. The former is found in open, disturbed areas, and the latter is a mature forest species. Also, wheeleri has a square-cut anteroventral petiolar process, while the Costa Rican version of striatula has a rounded process without a posterior angle. I consider G. wheeleri a valid species and use this name to refer to this form. With my current knowledge, it occurs at least in Costa Rica and Peru. The relationship to G. rustica, from Paraguay, is unknown. Also, among the South American specimens associated with striatula there is a welter of variation in propodeal shape and the form of the ventral petiolar process. The group is clearly in need of more work in South America.

O, brother, where art thou? If Sam and Dean aren't asking each other this question then surely the fandom is after watching, episode 13, "The Purge". There was no big surprise that a lot of comments have been, "I'm done with the show", "Sam is selfish", "Dean broke Sam's trust", it could go on and on, but the truth of the matter is neither Sam or Dean are perfect and have both screwed up in many ways over the nine season's we've had the privilege to watch their story.
This isn't a Sam Girl or Dean Girl battle or at least it shouldn't be because it takes two to tango and our boys apparently stink at dancing. No relationship on the planet doesn't hit a bump now and again, right? Granted, Sam and Dean's bumps are more like Mount Kilimanjaro or maybe K2, and unfortunately that is the way it will most likely always be for the brothers. William Butler Yeats once wrote, "love is the crooked thing, there is nobody wise enough to find out all that is in it ..." and make no mistake Sam and Dean do love one another even despite this latest cluster bomb that was dropped on viewers and Dean in the bro conversation at the end of "The Purge".
Excerpt of conversation:
Dean: "If the situation were reversed and I was dying, you'd do the same thing."
Sam: No, Dean, I wouldn't. Same circumstances, I wouldn't."
Now, even love should know limits to some degree and I hate to burst anyone's balloon that believes family is an instant glue that will hold the foundation together as the roof and walls threaten to fall, it won't. Family and blood are one ingredient among a myriad of other additives required to make a relationship work. Do I believe Sam would take a bullet for Dean, yes. Do I believe Dean would push Sam from the path of a speeding bus and take the hit himself, yes. Sam's statement at the end of "The Purge" I feel although harsh was taken out of context by viewers and Dean. The "... same circumstances" is the tell, Sam isn't saying he wouldn't make a similar decision otherwise, but given the circumstances of closing hell, etc., he wouldn't save Dean in lieu of the greater good. However, I think Dean was left with just hearing Sam wouldn't choose to save him at all. In the end, yes, they are family, but that has to mean something and maybe they need reminded of what it meant to them once upon a time.
I believe Sam would die for Dean to save him, but would he sell out all of humanity for his brother's life, well, he answered that question, no. Dean has proven he would sacrifice Sam for the greater good back in "Swan Song", but he was in panic mode when Sam collapsed after the aborted trials. Sam has been there, as well, when Dean went to Hell. Sam tried to make a deal for Dean but no demon would deal with him, so both brother's are guilty of flawed thinking when faced with a brother in danger. I believe there is something working under the surface, but the writers just haven't got us or Sam and Dean there yet. Patience, Young Skywalker.
There are quite a few torch carriers spewing their toxic opinions on Twitter over "The Purge" and say the writers are destroying the show and that Jeremy Carver is butchering the brothers. The reason most people have stuck with "Supernatural" for nine seasons is the brothers. Look, do I like every plot move, no. Yes, I get frustrated by the brother's fragmentation, sure, but I also understand that what we are seeing is what happens with life, it's messy. This is "Supernatural" not the "Waltons" and I don't think the show would have had the longevity that it has if the brother's didn't feel real to all of us. Have there been some terribly awful mistakes on the show in story arcs, oh yeah. I hated the Leviathan storyline it was a dead horse from the jump, Bobby's death, Kevin's death and the previews for the next episode, Snooki, really?! Yes, it does feel like the fissure between Sam and Dean is ever constant over the last few seasons with a few hopeful, heartbreaking moments thrown in when they find their common ground which is their love for each other.
Our brother's don't ever say it, well, not like they used to in earlier seasons with their brother banter of "bitch" and "jerk", I miss that and the amulet (I still believe and always will that Sam took it out of the trash). But, guess what has happened since the first couple seasons, a lot of crap that's what and Sam and Dean aren't the same men they were in season 1. Yes, they are fictional characters, but Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have breathed life into them and in turn we have invested ourselves as a fandom.
I have little to no use for fair weather fans because life isn't perfect and quite simply it shouldn't be, so why threaten to jump ship on a show you've watched for years? I have no interest in watching some Stepford version of a Sam and Dean that remain static, have bro moments every episode where one or both of them is dew eyed, hug it out and where there is no conflict. There must be some sort of conflict, a give and pull, it's called story telling. Yes, I agree that this brother issue card is played too often, but this show isn't a sprint it's proving to be quite the marathon.
I could go on ad nauseam by breaking down every mistake or hurtful statement that Sam or Dean have done or said over the seasons, but I won't. I'm just tired of toxic people spewing their hate and ultimatums either at the "Supernatural" writers or viewers that don't share their venom. If you don't like it, don't watch it, and it's really that simple. So, Sam Girls and Dean Girls, you've hitched your wagon to the wrong team because both boys are fallible, both have made horrific mistakes over nine seasons. You could both go point to point and never out match one another. It's a viscous cycle of trying to tout one brother over the other and the truth is this show is about two brothers, not one individual brother.
Yes, Sam and Dean are in a dark, fractured spot right now as brothers. Perhaps, for them, maybe Eckhart Tolle is right, "life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment," so there could be some stronger bond from all this, who knows? But, keep in mind, Jeremy Carver isn't an imbecile, he knows what makes the show work, a story about two brothers, Sam and Dean. Yes, the ride is extra bumpy right now, but that's life.
This show is going to end one day and perhaps the ending will be the most heartbreaking, bittersweet thing we will have to endure as viewers but that moment isn't now, so have some faith that eventually Sam and Dean will start to repair their foundation. Keep watching and enjoy the bumpy ride.

It's not cold.
By user12615793 on Jan 15, 2009
The sun hit the thermometer so its showing a bit warmer than it actually is. If you can believe it, my feet didn't hurt until after I came back inside.
Random thoughts, observations, and comments. I'm not creative, so deal with it.
The sun hit the thermometer so its showing a bit warmer than it actually is. If you can believe it, my feet didn't hurt until after I came back inside.
90's last week and frost this morning. Bring it on!
I think that we've had only 4 inches total of snow so far this year, compared to the 2 feet that we're suppsed to have had by now. Lack of snow is a bad thing for my landscaping. Snow, believe it or not, acts as a nice insulator. Without the snowcover, the frost goes deep into the ground when you have the bone-chilling sub-zero highs like we had last week. I don't want to see how many of my landscaping bushes, or the tulips my wife planted in the fall decide not to sprout this spring.
I feel bad for Raleigh, NC. Looks like the whole city was shut down yesterday by a mere inch of snow. Amazing... well, maybe not so when you consider that they don't have the sanding or salt trucks that we do up here (nor do they really need them.)
I'm not going to be able to enjoy the snow for that long though. I'm heading out to Denver on Sunday to write the Solaris 10 Certification Exams. Denver was 70 yesterday! (Which accoring to the Weather Channel was a record.)
So here it is, January 10th, and we still don't have a single day with 1" of snow so far this year. Sure, there's snow on the ground right now in places, as well as a few piles from where the shovels or plows have pushed the little that we have. However, we still have the brown grass showing and no place to do any cross country skiing.
Snow has gone north of us. Snow has gone south of us. Snow has gone east of us... I want my share now!
Okay, so we finally got some snow today. It wasn't much. I doubt that it amounted to more than half an inch. At least it took care of some of the brown.
Got a little snow yesterday as well after a little bit of freezing rain/sleet that made a mess of the roads. Something like 200+ accidents on the roads yesterday. Luckily, I decided to work from home so it wasn't a problem for me.
Of course I paid for it this morning. It took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get into the office. I'm still amazed at how many people forget how to drive in a bit of snow.
Now it looks like the freezer door is being left open here. Highs on Friday may reach the whopping temperature of 1 degree!
Winter is finally starting to make its presence known.
Grass is brown and Christmas is coming and Jack Frost is surely nipping at the nose. But there isn't a drifting bank to get upsot in. This is getting depressing.

The more interviews with artists you follow, the more you can suss out by artist and interviewer which will be entertaining and which will be three endless minutes of how much they just love their fans, love touring, love their new single which will be out any day now, really. Lady Gaga interviews generally aren't like that. Neither are interviews by British TV personality Jonathan Ross. Combine the two? Thirteen wonderful minutes, well worth watching in their entirety (just eat your lunch twice as fast or something.) Still too much? Highlights:
- Lady Gaga brings out a special guest: a male sheep named Kevin. Jonathan Ross isn't so keen on having a sheep on stage, alas. Less successful? The bit with the
real fake purported meat dress being mutilated by scissors. The day the meat dress joins bullet bangs and sunglasses in the hall of departed Gaga looks will be a welcome day indeed.
- Finally, we get a semi-coherent throughline for "You and I": "This song is about a love affair with a man from Nebraska… It's all about going back to his hometown to get him back. There's this beautiful scene in a barn, where everything goes awry, and it's kind of twisted, and he's trying to fix me and change me. As he's doing that, I break apart, then he puts me back together and puts me in formaldehyde, and I turn into a mermaid, and the whole thing goes wrong." (We said "semi.")
- Lady Gaga's asked the contractual female-artist questions about her love life and her pregnancy or lack thereof. On dating: "I really don't like when people contact my management for a date… I mean, isn't that awful, to get an email? 'Would she be available for dinner?' I'm like, fuck no! I'll be at home heating up a chunky soup watching Will and Grace." She's got less to talk about on pregnancy, probably because she's in her mid-twenties, single and well into her career, enough that she said she'd want to make "ten more albums" before a baby. And that's that. One imagines the answer won't change between now and her next interview. (Hint.)
- As far as news? Alas, we didn't hear any titles of songs from her upcoming album, because Jonathan Ross didn't take off his shirt (Gaga's stakes.) His excuse? Four nipples; caveat: this is probably not actually true.
Because this is a TV appearance, it also comes with a performance; because it's still "You and I"'s single cycle (bring on "Marry the Night" faster!), it's of that; because Kevin made an appearance, it's set in a barn-like stage, with hay and, er, barn maenads. One can only imagine how the Americanisms in the song and performance played out in the U.K., but at least Gaga's vocals need no cultural translation.

A creative table assignment photo by Kate Uhry Photography
There are two types of traditional seating charts, one where just the table is assigned, and guests are free to choose their seating, and the second, with assigned seating at each table. Doing a seating chart is not as easy as it may seem, but there are some tools on the web to help you. Following, is a basic quick guide.
Seating arrangements
You might want to put people next to people they know, or you might want to split them up a bit so they meet new people. But try to put each person next to at least one person they already know. People are more likely to get on well if they are similar ages or have similar interests. It might not be a good idea to put your 'alternative lifestyle' friend with tattoos next to your 80-year-old grandmother. A little common sense goes a long way.
Generally you should try to put families together and work colleagues together. But if you know people don't get on, try seating them separately. It is worth breaking with tradition to have a stress free event. Avoid mixing age groups too much. Young children should be seated with their parents. Older children can be seated with their parents, or on a table together.
Try to create balanced tables, with even numbers of males and females. It is traditional to alternate male-female-male-female guests in some cultures. If it is a group of people that know each other well you could try splitting up married couples for extra variety. Try to avoid putting guests on the same table as ex-partners, unless you are sure this is OK. Remember that every room has 4 corners!
Leftovers (not the food type). Resist the temptation to have a 'leftovers' table of all the people who didn't fit on other tables. It is probably better to distribute such guests evenly.
Table size, shape and layout: You might want all the tables to be same size and shape or you might want to vary them. Find out what sizes and shapes are available. Using common sense and a few helful tips should make this a stress-free process.

Today's Lesson: Don't Pitch To Kubel With The Bases Loaded On Sunday
Last year, Jason Kubel finally become the big lefty bat the organization saw all along by putting up these stats: .300 AVG, 28 HR, 103 RBI, .907 OPS. This year (at least so far), the numbers have dwindled: .256, 12 HR, 58 RBI, .756 OPS. Unfortunately, Kubes has been just as likely to ground into a killer double play or whiff on 3-4 pitches this season than provide the big hit.
However, there is one obvious exception: When the bases are juiced (particularly on Sunday!) and the Twins need runs:
In early May against the Yankees, Big K did this off Mariano Rivera to prevent a sweep:
Less than two weeks ago, Jason did likewise to the Orioles.
Today, the damage was done in the form of a three-run double, once again with the bases loaded on a sticky Sunday afternoon, that put the Twins up for good.
Of course, it also helps when Francisco Liriano (7 IP, 11 K) is pitching lights-out, at home, against one of the worst offensive teams (Seattle) in the majors.
8 in a row for the hometown crew! The road gets a lot tougher from here, though, as a big four-gamer is nigh against the Rays. Whaddya say we show a potential (hopefully…anybody but the Yanks) playoff opponent what Twins baseball is all about!
Preview (59-46, 2nd, 0.5 GB CWS): Carl Pavano (13-6, 3.21) vs. Jeremy Hellickson (0-0, 0.00).

It was an early, but celebratory morning for same-sex couples in Arkansas. According to a report by the Associated Press, couples lined up before dawn Monday as the state's largest county began issuing gay marriage licenses following a judge's ruling on Friday that overturned Arkansas' constitutional ban as unconstitutional.
The couples lined up outside Little Rock's courthouse to obtain their marriage licenses just 48 hours after Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza made their marriage dreams come true with his decision on Friday. Overturning the voter-approved ban on gay marriages allowed Shelly Bulter, 51, and Susan Barr, 48, to become the first couple to obtain a marriage license which was handed out just after 8 a.m. Although the state is expected to appeal the decision, Butler jumped at the opportunity to legally marry her partner.
She told the AP, "When we heard the news in Arkansas, we had to jump in the car to get here. I'm just excited to marry my best friend of almost 30 years, finally." All the couples who lined up on Monday morning in Little Rock and the 15 same-sex couples who already obtained their marriage licenses Saturday in the town of Eureka Springs shared those same sentiments.
Unlike previous states like Utah, Oklahoma and Texas who have seen judges overturn their bans, Piazza did not issue a stay in a state and left is up to the state's 75 county clerks to decide whether to grant marriage licenses. In Piazza's decision on Friday, he stated that the ban on gay marriage was "an unconstitutional attempt to narrow the definition of equality."
But the ban, passed by voters in 2004, is expected to be defended as Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced that he will ask the Arkansas Supreme Court to review Piazza's decision. McDaniel is defending the ban despite personally being in favor of same-sex marriage. In the meantime, many couples are saying, "I do" in the state of Arkansas, the 22nd state in the U.S. where gay marriage is legal.

Health & Pregnancy
Taking SSRIs in Pregnancy Affects Infant
July 14, 2003 -- Infants born to mothers taking the most widely prescribed antidepressants seem to have more early problems adapting to life outside the womb, but there is little evidence that these problems persist after the first few days.
In a newly reported study, researchers in Finland found that newborns whose mothers took the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) Prozac or Celexa during pregnancy were four times as likely to experience early problems such as restless, tremors, and irritability compared with babies whose mothers did not take them. But by the time they were 2 weeks old, the SSRI-exposed babies had no apparent exposure-related problems.
Writing in the July issue of the journal Archives of Psychiatry, researcher Kari Laine, MD, and colleagues from Turku University suggest that taking pregnant women off SSRIs during the last few weeks of pregnancy might keep their babies from developing these neurological symptoms. But an expert on the treatment of depression in pregnancy tells WebMD that the risks of doing this greatly outweigh the potential benefits.
"In my mind, that is the most counterintuitive intervention imaginable," Lee S. Cohen, MD, says. "In our center we would never discontinue medication right before delivery because when you do that you increase the risk of postpartum depression. You are taking away the medication just when the woman needs it most."
Cohen says it is still not clear that SSRI use during pregnancy causes short-term problems among their offspring because the studies investigating the issue have been flawed. He says there is no evidence that SSRI use during pregnancy is linked to any long-term health or developmental problems. Cohen directs the Reproductive Psychiatry Clinical Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Restless, Irritable Infants
The Finnish study included 20 women who took Prozac or Celexa during pregnancy and while breastfeeding and another 20 women who did not. Newborns were assessed for neurologic symptoms that might be related to taking SSRIs, which increase the availability of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, during the first four days of life and again at 2 weeks and 2 months of age. Fetal brain ultrasounds and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were also conducted shortly before birth and again at the age of 2 months.

Hundreds of individual women runners and walkers are expected to join together at Holmdel Park in Holmdel, New Jersey on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, August 30. 2014 to raise funds for and promote awareness of organizations that provide essential services to women and their children in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Presented by the Jersey Shore Running Club, the twenty first Saturday in the Park 5K "Women Taking Steps to Help Women" will be a fun-filled, rain or shine event featuring a Women's 5K Run and Scenic 3-Mile Walk at 9:00am and Children's Races at approximately 10:00am.
2013 Results – Start Photos – Finish Photos
Breaking the finish tape first last year was 15 year old phenom Briana Gees of Haddonfield, N.J. in a time of 18:39. Brianna was a repeat winner and easily broke her winning time of 19:08 in the 2012 race. Can Brianna "three peat"?
She was followed by Amanda Marino of Jackson, N.J. in a time of 18:50, Shelby Cain of Haddonfield in 20:10, Jacqueline Gottuse of Fair Haven in 20:32 and then Dianne DeOliviera of Brick in 20:39 to round out the top 5 overall finishers..
"The main reason for celebration is knowing that this race annually supports programs dedicated to providing shelter, counseling, advocacy and education for women and their families in both Monmouth and Ocean counties." said Penny Hinck, Race Director, Jersey Shore Running Club. Past participants of Saturday in the Park have consistently remarked about how they have been touched by the ceremony at the start of the race when the runners and walkers join hands and realize the need for all of us to come together to support these "safe harbors" for women and their families.
The Saturday in the Park event was first staged at Bodman Park in Middletown, and was then held at Monmouth University and Brookdale Community College, before finding its home at Holmdel Park in 1999.
There is also a spirited team competition with awards going to the largest teams. It is always a very competitive aspect of the event.
For more information on Saturday in the Park 5K, visit the event web site.
And looking ahead is the first annual Tutu 5K to be held on Sunday, September 28, 2014. It is open to men and women too. The first 200 to sign up get a free Tutu.
More events can be found on the race calendar.

Guest Book
Sold, Thank you!
Perfectly formed characters eschew the virtues of the scholar life and way of tea through the Gyokusen Chaka (Song of Tea) decorating this masterpiece of calligraphy and design by Miura Chikusen enclosed in the original signed wooden box. Books have been written upon the subject of this poem centering on the experience of a Tang dynasty recluse reaching Daoist enlightenment through the drinking of seven cups of tea. The bowl is 17 cm (7 inches) diameter, 10 cm (4 inches) tall and in fine condition.
The Tang dynasty poet Lú Tóng, wrote " Thanks to Mèng Jiànyì for Sending New Tea." Which has come to be simply called The Tea Song (of Yuchuan). Much too long to offer fully here, I offer the first few lines (A full translation will be provided):
The sun already high in the sky,
An envoy wrapping on the door called me from sleep.
The imperial censor Meng had sent a letter,
wrapped in white silk with three seals.
Inside, it was as if I could see the face of Meng
In the 300 blocks of "round moon" tea
Chikusen I (1854-1915) made a name for himself as a strict adherent to and supplier of Sencha tea wares in Kyoto; one of the most important artists in the country for that genre. He studied under Takahashi Dohachi from the age of 13, before establishing his own studio in 1883. He was a feature in the literati community of Kyoto and was well known also as a painter, poet and calligraphist. His porcelains were considered of the highest grade throughout the Meiji era, and are still highly collectable today. The kiln continues, currently under the management of the fifth generation.

Not the same amount of meta time, no. I agree with the estimate of about two days for the quizzes. This might not seem much, but I think that the idiots that the quizzes are designed to keep out can spend two (or four/eight if they need) days to pass anyway with a little dedication, while less idiotic idiots such as perhaps myself need years because we're doing whatever work as opposed to learning foundation bylaws by heart. I am exaggerating on purpose but maybe you get the point. Really good recruitment basically has a different process for every recruit. That obviously does not scale. //Peter

Throughout the history of our nation, prayer has always been America's instrument of guidance, protection and strength. Today, on the National Day of Prayer, our prayers still make a difference!
Join in the following prayer for our great nation: or DOWNLOAD HERE
Father, I bring the needs of our government before You and ask You to bless our nation through godly leaders. I magnify the Name of Jesus and declare that He is Lord over this nation.
Father, I pray according to 1 Timothy 2:1-3 which says, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour."
I pray, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, for our president, the vice president, all the Cabinet and the chief justice and associate justices of the Supreme Court to receive the wisdom of God, to act in obedience to that wisdom and for the power of God to flow in their lives.
I pray for the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives to find Your peace and direction, and for these men and women to act and lead according to Your Word. A house divided against itself cannot stand, therefore, I pray for them to be unified in righteousness for the sake of the nation.
I pray for Your protection to cover all our law enforcement officers and the men and women of the military. I ask for godly counsel and wisdom for judges across this land. In the Name of Jesus, I pray that You and Your kingdom of righteousness be manifested in the hearts of all those who are in authority in any way.
Father, Your Word says to pray for the peace of Jerusalem because those who love Jerusalem shall prosper. Lord Jesus, because You love Jerusalem and wept over it, I love it also. I pray for Jerusalem to receive the shalom of God, which brings wholeness—nothing missing, nothing broken. I pray that no leader of our nation will make any decision that will harm Jerusalem in any way. And in the Name of Jesus, I pray that You reveal Your perfect will to all the leaders of Israel. I ask You, Lord, to reveal Yourself to each person. Thank You, Father, for hearing my prayers that are in accordance to Your will. I receive the answers, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
(Scripture References: 1 Timothy 2:1-3; Psalm 122:6; Mark 3:25; Proverbs 21:1; 1 John 5:14-15)
Thank you for standing in agreement with us and millions of believers across America. Your prayers make a difference!
Jesus is Lord!

Tori Spelling has been tight lipped about the rumors that her marriage to Dean McDermott is on the rocks, but the 40-year-old mother of four does have some news she wants to share with her fans. According to an article published on Torispelling.com (a.k.a ediTORIal) on Jan. 7, Spelling is set to launch a brand new TV show called "Mystery Girls."
Spelling announced that a show she created has been picked up by ABC Family, and will begin airing in the coming months. She says the show is about two TV starlets who once worked on a detective show find themselves in a real-life mystery. It's all very fitting since Spelling and her co-star, Jennie Garth, 41, are both best known for their rolls in "Beverly Hills, 90210," which aired from October 1990 until May 2000.
Tori says "Mystery Girls" is set to begin production soon, and she promises to share all the yummy details with her fans via Torispelling.com.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
by Laurence Sterne
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Book 2, Chapter 1 Summary
- Welcome to Book 2! To sum up what didn't happen in Book 1: Tristram is not born, Toby's character is not sketched, and his hobby-horse is not acquired.
- Tristram begins by explaining that he needs an entirely new book in order to tell Toby's story, and he immediately digresses into a paragraph about King William's wars.
- Toby has the hardest time telling the story of the siege (almost as hard a time as Tristram has telling his own story …), because he doesn't exactly know how the battle happened. He thinks that if he just had a big map, he could figure it out.

Wait Until Tomorrow
Like all mothers, mine had a set of maxims that she thought were important to impart to me: if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all (unless it's irresistibly funny); it's as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is with a poor man (a nice idea in theory); if you want to commit suicide, wait until tomorrow (advice which has, it turns out, saved my life).
Like many daughters of elderly parents, Pat MacEnulty finds herself in a maze of health care negotiations and agonizing life choices when her mother can no longer care for herself. Pat's mother, who stood by her through her darkest years as a drug addict, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, and musical director. But suddenly she is unable to be the accomplished, independent person she once was. Pat struggles to manage her mother's care while cultivating her own relationship with her teenage daughter, who is at the precarious age when drug addiction changed Pat's life forever. Through heartbreak, frustration, and unwavering loyalty, Pat finds her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.
"An inspiring story of love, loss and the ravages of aging."
"Pat MacEnulty provides an honest, searing look at how her mother—a distinguished musician bursting with energy and wit—enters the last frontier of her life, still demanding the spotlight though its glow now comes from her talented, overworked daughter. There is urgency here: desires that can never be satisfied, illnesses that must be survived, love that pulls at the boundaries of hope and despair and yet stubbornly persists. Beautifully written, this is a poignant, necessary book!"
"A spare, disciplined prose that no one will be able to read without thinking of Hemingway. But MacEnulty has made the style her own…Every story is a new demonstration that MacEnulty has that rare ability to convince, wholly, in very few words."
"MacEnulty writes with sympathy, wisdom and—an unexpected blessing—humour."
"Wait Until Tomorrow is a profound story about life and love and loss, growing up and growing old, holding on and letting go. There is a song of beauty and truth on every page."
"This beautiful book about death and dying, written from the point of view of a daughter, a caregiver who was wise enough to care about her own life, is also a lively and even funny book."

The old days of men dominating our college campuses are long gone. Today, more women than men attend college these days. Despite the big strides that have been made to bridge this gap, there are still inequalities among the genders. Men still occupy the large majority of well paid jobs and salary inequalities still exist between men and women with the same job titles. With these discrepancies in mind, a lot of organizations, individuals and colleges, offer scholarships for women to try and get women into programs that they will otherwise not think of pursuing. These scholarships help women pay for tuition and get their degrees.
Organizations award scholarships for women for specific reasons. These may include getting women to occupy leadership positions or get them to attain advanced qualifications leading to higher paying jobs. Some of these scholarships for women are also intended to get the woman through higher education and also help them to succeed after they graduate. Some are geared towards returning women who have been out of college for a long time back to college. While other scholarships aim to afford women over the age of 40 to go to college if they have never gone to college before.
Some scholarships for women are aimed at getting students to study in fields which are still male dominated. Subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Engineering and Medicine are still male dominated fields and organizations give these scholarships to support women who pursue these fields.
College Scholarships for Women
You should find and apply to as many of these scholarships that you qualify for to increase your chances of getting an award. Here are some of the more popular scholarships geared towards women:
The Jeannette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to women over the age of 35 and must meet the low-income requirements. The recipient must be able to show that the education they will get will benefit themselves, their community and their family. To qualify for this award, a student must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a woman 35 years or older
- Demonstrate financial need
- Must be a Citizen of the United States or a permanent resident
- You must be enrolled in or accepted to a regionally accredited or nationally accredited institution.
- You must be pursuing a vocational studies, and associate degree or a first bachelor's degree.
Students can find more information, such as eligibility information, applications, and guidelines, at rankinfoundation.org.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is an organization that supports women via different means, including scholarship and grant opportunities. The American Fellowship program is to support women doctoral candidates completing dissertations or scholars seeking funds for postdoctoral research leave. Another scholarship program, the Selected Professions Fellowships, is intended to help women who are underrepresented in certain fields of study attain their Master's Degree. They also have another scholarship program for women from around the world who would like to study in the USA.
Scholarships for Low-Income Women with Children
If you're a woman with financial need that has a child under the age of 18, then going to college may sound like an impossible dream. If you want to pursue your postsecondary education, you're on the right track by researching scholarships. The Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation has a scholarship award program specifically for women like yourself.
You could be awarded one of the five $3000 scholarships given out each year towards your education if you are:
- at least 17 years old
- a mother with a dependent child

- in financial need as determined by the Foundation
If you meet you're a mother seeking a scholarship and fit this criteria, you should visit www.patsyminkfoundation.org for more information as well as the application forms.
Scholarships for Hispanic Women
Some organizations awards scholarships for Hispanic women. Hispanic women are considered minorities and it is still very common to find them under-represented in well paying jobs or high leadership jobs. The awarding bodies aim to bridge this gap and get more Hispanic women into college and help them succeed. If you are a Hispanic woman and you cannot afford to go to college, then this should come as welcome news for you. There are several scholarships available to Hispanic women and you should find and apply to them. Some are awarded to Hispanic women enrolled in specific programs, advanced degree programs, vocational programs or just general college studies. Whatever you age or qualification, you should be able to find a scholarship for Hispanic Women.
- The Hispanic Scholarship Fund aims to provide funding for people of Hispanic heritage to be able to attend college. The fund provides several scholarships each year for all levels of college education from undergraduate studies to graduate studies.

To be eligible to receive this scholarship you must be of a Hispanic heritage and a US citizen or permanent resident. The fund awards several scholarships and each has their own eligibility requirements. Visit the HSF's Scholarship Page to see the different scholarships, qualification requirements, applications forms and application guidelines.
- The Hispanic Women's Network of Texas (HWTN) through its Latinas in Progress (LIP) program provided over 35 scholarships to Hispanic seniors graduating high school. The awards were given by participating universities in the Texas state. The awards included four years full tuition to the Texas Christian University (TCU) and four years full tuition scholarship to the Texas Wesleyan University (TWU). The University of Texas at Arlington also provides scholarships through this program. HWTN also provides direct scholarships for Hispanic women. All the awards are awarded to female Hispanic high school seniors participating in the LIP program from HWTN. The three universities partner with HWTN to award these scholarships.
