About Us
Founding Teacher
Zen Master Seung Sahn
1927 - 2004
Zen Master Seung Sahn, the founding teacher of the Kwan Um School of Zen, is the 78th Patriarch in his line of Transmission within the Chogye order of Korean Buddhism. He founded temples in Japan and Hong Kong, and is the first Korean Zen Master to live and teach in the West.
In 1972, he started the Providence Zen Center. Since then, dozens of centers have been founded in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. He is author of a number of books, including The Compass of Zen.
Zen Master Seung Sahn gave transmission to a number of Zen Masters, and inka -- the authority to teach -- to other senior students.
Zen Master Seung Sahn, or "Dae Soen Sa Nim" as he is known to his students, passed away on November 30, 2004. The following poem is his:
The Human Route
Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed -- that is human.
When you are born, where do you come from?
When you die, where do you go?
Life is like a floating cloud which appears.
Death is like a floating cloud which disappears.
The floating cloud itself originally does not exist.
Life and death, coming and going, are also like this.
But there is one thing which always remains clear.
It is pure and clear, not depending on life and death.
What is that one pure and clear thing?

Definition of elephant bird in English:
elephant bird
A heavily built giant flightless bird, found in Madagascar until it was exterminated in about ad 1000. The eggs, which are still found occasionally, are the largest known. Also called aepyornis.

- Other ratites, the elephant bird of Madagascar and the moas of New Zealand, have been extinct for several centuries, probably as a result of human hunting.
- There are no elephants, but there was once something like an ostrich but much, much bigger, called the elephant bird.

Just like schools--- hospitals are also taking steps to keep illnesses out of their facilities.
Ingham Regional Medical Center is following in the footsteps of Sparrow Hospital and Allegiance Health--- by restricting visitors in hopes of stopping the flu virus from spreading.
Effective immediately Ingham Regional Medical Center has new rules in place for it's Women and Children's Center.
No children under the age of 18 will be allowed into the center, and only one healthy visitor will be allowed per patient. These tighter visitor restrictions have been put in place, because IRMC is at the beginning of a surge in flu cases.
Dr. Earl Reisdorff says the hospital is on the verge of setting up a quarantine area in the ER for flu patients.
In this rare instance he recommends people with the flu stay away from the hospital, unless you have underlying illnesses.
Ingham is also taking special precautions throughout the hospital-- signs notifying patients of the heightened flu alert are posted, and hygiene stations are stocked with hand sanitizer,.
Masks and tissues are also available at all hospital entrances.
Ingham has also launched a free down-loadable desktop widget to better communicate important health information.
The "ingham health bug" will provide information on flu outbreaks, and flu shot clinics.

After the Possum Kingdom fire: free trees for a new landscape
We've checked in now and then to see how things were going at Possum Kingdom Lake, the big reservoir and community on the Brazos River west of Fort Worth.
A pack of wildfires so big they got a collective name, the PK Complex fire, roared through the place in April 2011. Left smoldering were 126,000 acres of landscape and 168 former homes.
New homes have been under construction and locals have been working to lure weekenders back. On Saturday, Dec. 15, residents of two neighborhoods can get another boost: free trees.
The Texas Forest Service and Texas Garden Clubs are giving away 100 free live oaks, lacey oaks and cedar elms to people in The Cliffs and Sportsman's World areas.
The freebies are available starting at 11 a.m. at The Cliffs, 160 Cliffs Dr., Graford; and at noon at Sportsman's World, 6020 Hell's Gate Loop, Strawn. No pre-registration or proof of residency is required.
Along with the trees will come advice on fire-resistant landscaping – that is, ways to keep homes safe. Volunteers will help with planting.
As for the trees themselves, forester Courtney Blevins of the forest service, run by Texas A&M University, notes that the species were chosen carefully.
"They are drought hardy," he says, "and not highly flammable."
For people who watched their overgrown, extremely volatile Ashe junipers literally explode in flames just from the heat of approaching fires, that might be the best gift of all.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Roni Lynn Deutch claims to settle back tax liabilities for "Pennies on the dollar" utilizing the I.R.S. program Offer in Compromise.
Roni Lynn Deutch advertises nationally on television urging desperate taxpayers to call for a free no obligation consultation. When the scared taxpayer calls, they reach a call center where their name, phone number and amount owed to the I.R.S. is recorded. Then the "Leads" are filtered through and placed on a 3x5 card and passed out to hungry sales representatives affectionately known as "Tax Directors" AKA. SALESPEOPLE!
These salespeople are under constant pressure from Roni Deutchs' little brother Russell Deutch to hit their individual sales goals. The pressure is so heavy that we have actually seen salespeople fudge the numbers of the callers to "qualify the potential client" then use proven sales techniques to have them pay sometimes as much as $15,000.00 to take the case. Typically the fee is between $1900.00 and $4300.00 to hire the firm to protect them from the I.R.S.
The sales people paint a picture for the potential clients, telling them the typical time frame to settle the tax debt is from ten to twelve months, giving the clients a ray of hope. The new clients are not told that the law firm has so many active clients (well over 4,000) that it could be seven or eight months before they even compile the Offer in compromise. Meanwhile, the clients are literally struggling to make payments to the law firm ranging from $250.00 to $1,000.00 for six to ten months.
The average enrollment in the Law firm is 450 new clients each month. In our years of working there we have not seen a fraction of these clients receiving the help that was implied. Remember, attorneys structure sentences that imply one thing to the average person and something completely different in legal terminology and the salespeople are taught to use this verbiage with clients to imply a guarantee.
We know of several other people who will be adding information to this site. Many of our co-workers have been terminated for looking into the practices of the Law firm and questioning why we were taking new clients when we could not even provide the service to the existing clients.
Roni Lynn Deutch is taking the hard earned money hand over fist from people who are desperate for help, and really only delivering help to a very small portion of her clients.
Here are some examples:
A client was getting his wages garnished. He had been faithfully paying the firm $475.00 monthly to cover his legal fees for seven months, the law firm never even attempted to get his garnishment lifted (he was lost in the shuffle). The man could not make his last payment on time (eight months later and before the garnishment was even lifted) and the law firm fired him for breaching the law firm's so called " FEE AGREEMENT".
The legal staff regularly loses files, misses I.R.S. deadlines, mails the wrong documents to clients, disclosing confidential information. The list goes on.......thousands of mislead people.
Roni Deutch owns at least nine homes throughout the country, drives a $100,000.00 BMW and a $100,000.00 Porsche. Travels and plays constantly and is rarely in the office. She has approximately 100 people running her show. Believe me, it is a show. She runs the epitome of a processing plant. Clients accuse us all the time of being a sweatshop. People need to know this before they pay a woman to save them when she is literally taking their money. They have several thousand unhappy clients that will gladly tell their story.
All employess are forced to sign a clause that I would not discuss the practice of the Law firm or they can sue me for damages caused to the law firm.
The contact person who runs the show for Roni Deutch is:
Greg Flahive Ask him what percentages of clients actually get the service they hired Roni Deutch to do for them.
I urge you to call in as a potential client and go through the process; you will be amazed at how their system works.
You can call 1-800-TAX-LADY or WWW.Settletax.com
Thank you.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Everyone needs to file a BAR ASSOCIATION complaint!
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 07, 2006POSTED: Tuesday, November 07, 2006
Furthermore, the Justice Department needs to get complaints from employees and consumers alike, as this qualifies for enforcement under the RICO ACT. She could lose everything, AND get disbarred for life.
Now, a warning to potential victims of Ronnie Lynn Deutch and others like her. GO TO THE IRS website and read the facts on OIC [offers in compromise]. The fact is, VERY FEW tax cases get settled this way.
You are much better off to just walk in to any IRS office and willingly sit down with an agent who will help you work out your problem and/or set up a reasonable payment plan. Most of the time if you go to them, they will even waive or reduce penalties and interest.
Ronnie Lynn deutch does nothing for anyone but herself. None of these scam artists do.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

#3 UPDATE EX-employee responds
This is all ture about Roni's practices.
AUTHOR: Telleroftruth - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2003POSTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2003
I too was in the frenzy of taking potential clients monies (I knew the I.R.S. would never settle with them) when being forced to perform or risk Roni firing me. The answer was always the same......take them down.
I have been in several meetings where Roni herself came down from her throne and cursed out the entire floor for NOT bringing in enough clients and she would get rid of us all if we did not give her what she wanted. That threat included her brothers and sister.
She has taken the entire firm out to a baseball game and has paid for so many more things for the firm to do, all at the expense of the clients who pay her for help. Roni will also brag about Hawaii, and bring stacks of it from her many trips throughout the year (which includes her family). She also brags about Las Vegas, where sdhe drops 500.00 per table playing blackjack or any other game that strikes her fancy.
What gifts does Roni give to her employees? Oh, you mean Russell Deutch asllowing you to "Spin" a Wheel of fortune type device and "IF" you hit the correct place on it (it has only happened twice in three years) you win 100.00!
Roni's employees rarely quit as "Thomas" has so eloquently put it....they are often fired for non performance. which is the difference between 18 new clients and 14 new clients.
She really does some good to her clients and employees, however, it is only to protect her perceived "Image". She was on the A.B.C. Television show called "The Other Half" which brought her allot of clients, but, there are no "Follow up" skills to go with all the B.S. she puts out on the T.waves. Like the woman who "Claims" that Roni has settled her entire back tax liability for 20 dollars! The woman is an actress, and the claim is bogus. The law firm has settled ONE couples tax burden for 20 dollars, and they were extremly elderly, had only 20 dollars, and the 10 year collection statute was about to expire on the I.R.S.
Look "Thomas" don't be a "Dummy". Iwisedup challenged the readers of this website to try the "Process" themselves, He/She did not try to give "contact" numbers to Roni's office.....I will do that.
To contact The Law Offices of Roni Lynn Deutch directly call @ (916)443-0274, (916)443-1080, or to contact the "Sales Team" (877)232-8477 if you want client services or the toll free fax number, then call the direct office line and they will give it to you. Greg is next, he hung himself with the figures he was spouting. Look guys, you know what you are doing....stop hiding behing Jim Banks(Roni's Attorney), all your legal jargon, and really do a service for people. I was tired of reading all of this CRAP that Greg Flahive, and "Thomas"(or should I say Russ, Steve, Scott, Keith, Roni, or anyone else who would write this type of crap) had to say, so I "came out of the closet(no offence)" to really set you people straight.
Roni does rip people off and she needs to stop!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

This employee has no idea what he is talking about. Employees almost never quit because it is such an excellent place to work at. Roni Deutch treats me (along with her other employees) great. Roni stresses to all her employees that the most important thing at her firm is client satisfaction. I have seen her represent some clients for free when they cannot afford her fees. I have seen Roni send flowers to clients when they are experiencing family troubles. Roni also cares deeply for her employees. Every month Roni gives gives gifts to her employees for their birthdays. She takes the entire office to a professional baseball game every year. She routinely buys NBA tickets for her employees. The list goes on and on. Unfortunately, it looks like you can't make every employee happy. Some are going to complain regardless of what the employer does for them. This employee must have been fired for incompetency because he gave the wrong telephone number to the office! How could he know the inner workings of the office as he claims if doesn't even know our telephone number?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

New Zealand is second to none for climatic and scenic diversity, as well as rugged and mythical appeal. Think we're exaggerating? Director Peter Jackson chose it as the film location for Lord of the Rings .
Nature lovers from all over the world are drawn to New Zealand for its rare seismic beauty, glacial mountains, and fast–flowing rivers. While scores flock to New Zealand's national, maritime, and marine parks, many visiting students are simply content to bask in the splendor found at any one of the hundreds of beaches lying within walking distance of several college campuses.
New Zealanders are famous for their warm hospitality to overseas visitors. Perhaps this is because they come from many ethnic backgrounds themselves–New Zealand culture is a mix of European, Maori, and Pacific Island heritages. The dominant cultural groups are the Pakeha (European) and Maori, while smaller groups include Yugoslavian Dalmatians, Polynesians, Indians, and Chinese. While New Zealand is an English–speaking country, its strong Maori heritage has flourished of late, and the Maori language, so long on the decline, is making a comeback.
Study Abroad in New Zealand: Auckland
If you choose to study abroad in New Zealand, your journey may take you to Auckland, the country's largest city (population 1.2 million), located to the north on the North Island. Technology-focused students are most likely to find a suitable college program in Auckland.
Known as the "City of Sails," Auckland occupies a narrow isthmus between two stunning harbors and is heaven for thousands of sailing and fishing enthusiasts. As New Zealand's most ethnically diverse city, Auckland is the country's business hub and offers all the cultural and recreational amenities you would expect from a large, modern city. Its climate is temperate, with cool winters (50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit) and warm summers (65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), giving residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a host of outdoor recreational activities year round, including surfing, sailing, hiking, and skiing. With lovely vineyards, beautiful swimming and surfing beaches, bush-clad hills, and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf all within a thirty–minute car or boat ride from the city center, Auckland is a premier destination for any visitor to New Zealand.

This sicko / criminal / amoral man blew himself up.
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A Somali police officer says a suicide car bomber accidentally detonated his explosives near a popular hotel in the Somali capital.
Capt. Mohamed Hussein said the bomber appeared to have prematurely detonated his explosives-laden car Saturday as he tried to park near a hotel. No others were hurt or killed in the blast.
The al-Qaida linked group al-Shabab frequently carries out attacks against the Somali government, the U.N. and African Union peacekeepers. Late last month, a suicide car bomber detonated his explosives-laden car at a teashop near Somalia's intelligence agency headquarters, killing at least 12 people.

July 18,
Annual Chapter Picnic
The DCASA Annual picnic/swim was held on Sun, July 18, 2010, from 1 to approximately 5 o'clock at Cecilia and Paul Yees house in Bloomfield Hills. A total of 21 board and regular members, along with some family members attended. The weather was cloudy but humid and hot, and only two brave souls went into the pool. Both had a great time cooling off in the water. For those who did not get wet, they had fun too just exercising verbally. Dave Fluharty brought some hand-outs for the group to look over, regarding the proposed K-12 statistics curriculum in Michigan. We had a delicious potluck picnic, with a variety of scrumptious and healthy vegetable, pasta, and fruit salads, hamburgers and vegetarian burgers, Kielbasa with hot dog buns (New York style - with pan-fried peppers, onions, and tomatoes), corn and vegeterian spring rolls, followed by yummy brownies and Hagendaas icecream bars . Fun was had by all.

Denpasar Environment Agency- New water quality data released
There's been some shocking data released by the Denpasar Environment Agency about the state of Bali's water resources.
Tests carried out by the Denpasar Environment Agency has shown that both the Tukad Badung and Tukad Ayung rivers are heavily polluted, with both exceeding the limits for Class III water.
Indonesia applies four air quality standards:
•Class I – Water suitable for human consumption
•Class II – Water suitable as a raw material to be processed into Class Water for human consumption or for designated domestic purposes.
•Class III – Water that can be used for water recreation purposes, the production of fresh water fish, water for livestock, water for plant cultivation.
•Class IV – Water designated for watering crops and gardens, urban enterprises, industry and water powered generation.
The chief of the environmental agency for Denpasar, A.A. Bagus Sudharsana, told the Bali Post on Thursday, November 28, 2013, that the condition of the two rivers is a source of concern.
Tests conducted by the Environmental Agency in cooperation with CV Bina Bwana Wisesa in April 2013 found water contaminated with fecal coliform and total coliform, bacteria which suggest the further presence of harmful strains such as E. Coli.
For the Tukad Badung River the measurement was 930 at the source, 2,400 at the river's midpoint and 1,400 at the river's mouth.
For the Tukad Ayung River the readings were 930 at the source, 430 at the river's midpoint and 150 at the river's mouth.
It's thought that cloth dying operations and commercial laundries operating along the river banks are to blame for the pollution.
Companies operating business along the river are required to have an environmental planning document (IPAL) detailing how their waste products will be handled.

Middle English (as an adjective and adverb): archaic past participle of stretch.
The word straight is the old past form of Old English stretch, and originally meant 'extended at full length'. The sense relating to an alcoholic drink, 'undiluted', is the American equivalent of neat and dates from the middle of the 19th century. The straight and narrow is the honest and morally acceptable way of living. The earliest example of this expression was the longer the straight and narrow path (or way). It arose through a misunderstanding of the meaning of a word in this passage from the Gospel of Matthew: 'Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it'. Strait (Late Middle English) here simply means 'narrow', from the same source as strict, a sense which only really survives today in the noun meaning 'a narrow passage of water connecting two seas', as in the Straits of Gibraltar. The confusion probably came about because crooked, the opposite of straight, had long been used to mean 'dishonest'.

Global warming is at least partially attributable to increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The increased levels are of anthropogenic origin, mostly from coal-fired electrical power generation plants. Capture of the CO2 as it is emitted from the flue is one viable scheme to address this enormous environmental problem. The goal of this project is the highly efficient and inexpensive capture of CO2 using solid sorbent materials such as zeolites and metal-organic-framework (MOF) materials. Crucial factors for understanding the absorption efficiency of these materials are their chemical and physical reactivity with CO2, and their pore structure. The experimental work in this project will include the use of neutron and synchrotron beamline techniques such as neutron diffraction, synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and small angle X-ray and neutron scattering. Such techniques will enable in-situ, real-time measurements of the structure of sorbents, pore interconnectivity, pore structure, CO2 distribution, and local absorbate/CO2 bonding structure. Further, X-ray diffraction analysis will be carried out in-situ with samples that are simultaneously undergoing evolved gas analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The project will also address current needs for standards in the area of solid sorbents for CO2 capture.

Sandow Birk's "American Qu'ran"Posted: October 26, 2010 Filed under: Art, Essay, Review | Tags: art, cities, Islam, review Leave a comment
Up now at NYFA Current, I have an essay on Sandow Birk's recent show at P.P.O.W. Gallery. Here's an excerpt:
"What Birk arrives at in these paintings is a vision of a Qu'ran whose primary concerns are quotidian troubles and joys and the unadorned events of everyday Americans. A man affixes a satellite dish to the side of a bungalow. A boy and a girl shovel snow from a parked car. Shoppers at Walmart push carts and search through the bargain rack. Pedestrians cross a busy Manhattan intersection under a sky of surveillance cameras. A Latino mother and her children walk out of a market in Los Angeles."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the dismal jobs report -
"The only acceptable jobs report is one that shows unemployment falling and Americans going back to work. Last week, Ben Bernanke said that to get our economy back on track, Democrats and Republicans in Congress must work together on practical, bipartisan ideas to create jobs. Today's jobs report confirms that we have no time to waste. I look forward to hearing President Obama's ideas for creating jobs next week. But there are bipartisan bills that Congress can pass immediately to put Americans back to work. On Tuesday, the Senate will vote to create jobs by streamlining the patent system to help entrepreneurs start new businesses. That is just a first step - there is much more that can be done right away. We should also extend the payroll tax credit to keep money in consumers' pockets. We should reauthorize the FAA to create or protect 270,000 jobs. And we should put Americans to work building roads and bridges. "All of these ideas have bipartisan support. To pass them, Republicans need to stop trying to appease the Tea Party, and start working across the aisle with Democrats. Putting Americans back to work is the most important job Congress has right now, and it is what Americans in Nevada and across the country are counting on us to do."

Record breaking night for Jamieson and Willis
31st July 2012
British breaststroke swimmers Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis starred with record-breaking performances for Team GB on the fourth day at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Having set a British record 2:08.89 to qualify second fastest from the morning heats, Jamieson paced his semi-final perfectly from lane four, smashing the British record for the second time in a day.
I'm really happy with the time and I'm really excited for tomorrow night.
To the sound of thunderous cheers from the crowd, the 23-year old touched home in 2:08.20 to qualify fastest for tomorrow night's final.
And having also set a Scottish record in his weaker 100m Breaststroke, Jamieson admitted the atmosphere in London was bringing out the best in him.
"It's amazing," said Jamieson. "Every time I'm out here I get goosebumps walking behind the blocks.
"It's really something special and it's really helped me this week – I know that.
"I'm really happy with the time and I'm really excited for tomorrow night."
Jamieson's teammate at the British Gas ITC Bath, Andrew Willis, had qualified third fastest from the heats and improved again in his semi, smashing his own English record to touch in 2:08.47 and progress in third.
The result – making Jamieson and Willis the only two Brits to have ever swum under 2:09 for 200m Breaststroke – capped a fine evening for coaches Dave McNulty and Graeme Antwhistle at Bath.
We've been working hard every day, hitting the times we want to hit and it's paying off.
And, like his teammate, Willis admitted he had used the crowd to his advantage on the night.
"That was unbelievable," said Willis. "I was in the call room and I wasn't quite as nervous as this morning – I was more excited and the crowd really helped me out there.
"We've been working hard every day, hitting the times we want to hit and it's paying off.
"I knew Michael was capable of a great time and I'm really happy for him. It's amazing that we're doing so well."
While Jamieson and Willis booked their final berths, Caitlin McClatchey and Hannah Miley contested Olympic finals, having qualified the previous night.
McClatchey – competing at her third Olympics Games – was in action first in the 200m Freestyle and came away seventh in 1:57.60.
I want to thank everyone for the support - the crowd was so amazing tonight.
USA's Allison Schmitt won gold in an Olympic record 1:53.61 ahead of France's Camille Muffat (1:55.58) and Australia's Bronte Barratt (1:55.81).
And while she was 0.27 seconds slower than her semi-final time, McClatchey admitted her performances in London bode well for day five's 4x200m Freestyle Relay.
"I had such a great time and really enjoyed it," said McClatchey. "I want to thank everyone for the support – the crowd was so amazing tonight.
"We've got a really strong really coming up tomorrow, I'm really excited and looking forward to it.
"I'm going to go and rest now and re-charge my batteries for tomorrow."
Miley was competing in her least favourite of the two individual medley events, the 200m IM.
Also swimming from an outside lane, the Scot dug deep to finish seventh in 2:11.29 as China's Ye Shiwen (2:07.57) won gold ahead of Australia's Alicia Coutts (2:08.15) and USA's Caitlin Leverenz (2:08.95).
Last time I came away being 11th in the world - now I'm seventh in the world so I can't knock that.
And having failed to make the final at her first Olympics in Beijing four years ago, Miley insisted she couldn't be disappointed in surpassing her performance from China.
"I'm so happy that was able to make the final," said Miley. "Last time I came away being 11th in the world and now I'm seventh in the world so I can't knock that.
"I'm really happy. Obviously I would liked to have gone faster than in the semis and get that progression but I was only 0.4 slower so it was fine.
"I'm really chuffed with how this meet has gone – it's been so much better than Beijing for me."
The British men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay quartet closed the night with a sixth-place finish.
When we walked out I just got hit by the noise and it was something really special.
In a race where Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian of all time as USA won gold in 6:59.70, the British team of Robbie Renwick, Ieuan Lloyd, Rob Bale and Ross Davenport touched home in a steady 7:09.33.
And 19-year old Lloyd admitted his first Olympic final had been an unforgettable experience.
"That was amazing," said Lloyd. "It was everything I thought it would be.
"When we walked out, I just got hit by the noise and it was something really special and it really pushed me on that last length."
Davenport, competing at his third Olympic Games, added: "It's such an honour to anchor your country in a relay like that against some of the world's greatest swimmers, not just of today but of history.
"We would have loved to be standing on that podium but hopefully the other three boys can be doing it in Rio in four years time."
Jemma Lowe was the other Brit in action and the Welsh swimmer squeezed into tomorrow night's 200m Butterfly final.
I've just sneaked in there so I'm really lucky and it's meant to be.
The Welsh record holder qualified fastest for the 200m Fly final at the World Championships in Shanghai last year before finishing seventh in the final.
But Lowe will try her luck from the outside lanes in London after touching fifth fastest in her heat in 2:07.37.
"I didn't know whether I was going to be in there when I finished fifth in that semi-final," said Lowe.
"I was a bit worried but in the end, that's perfect for me.
"My coach didn't want me to get in the middle lanes for the final and I've just sneaked in there so I'm really lucky and it's meant to be.
"I'm ready for tomorrow now. I'm just going to give it absolutely everything tomorrow and see what it brings."

New Hampshire
Earthquake History
In addition to tremors originating within the State, New Hampshire has also been affected by some of the stronger earthquakes centered in the St Lawrence Valley seismic zone and in the northeastern Massachusetts seismic zone.
On February 5, 1663, a major earthquake centered in the St. Lawrence River region was felt over all the settled areas of eastern Canada and northeastern United States. Because of the sparse population at this early time in Colonial history, accounts of the earthquake are far from definite. However, the shock was felt sharply in New England. At Massachusetts Bay, houses were shaken, pewter fell from shelves, and chimneys were broken or thrown down. The affected area undoubtedly include New Hampshire.
A damaging shock at Newbury, Massachusetts, in 1727 probably affected towns in New Hampshire.
A September 16, 1732, earthquake centered in the St. Lawrence Valley was felt at Piscataqua. The shock was centered near Montreal, where several hundred houses were damaged.
A major shock on November 18, 1755, centered east of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, caused extensive damage at Boston. The felt area included most of New Hampshire.
On November 9, 1810, Exeter, New Hampshire, was strongly shaken by an intensity VI earthquake. The shock was accompanied by a very unusual noise like a great explosion directly beneath the area. Windows were broken in Portsmouth and a vessel in the harbor seemed to strike bottom. The shock was also felt in Maine at Kennebunk and Portland.
The area around Concord experienced a number of shocks between 1872 and 1891. Two moderate earthquakes, the first on November 18, 1872, and the second on December 19, 1882, were felt at Concord. The first shock, described as lasting only 10 seconds, was felt in adjacent towns and at Laconia, 50 kilometers to the north. The 1882 tremor was strongest at Concord, although buildings reportedly shook at Dover and Pittsfield. The town of Contoocook, near Concord, reported an earthquake of moderate intensity on January 18, 1884. On November 23, 1884, two more earthquakes, the first a light shock, followed 15 minutes later by a heavy one, were felt at Concord. Nearby, at Henniker, the foundation of a boiler was displaced. The second shock was felt over an area of about 20,750 square kilometers including eastern Massachusetts, Connecticut, and eastern New York. Concord again experienced a mild tremor on May 1, 1891. The earthquake was reported felt at Cambridge and Melrose, Massachusetts.
Moderate damage occurred in southeastern New Hampshire and adjacent portions of Maine from an earthquake on October 9, 1925. Chimneys were thrown down at Cornish, Maine; dishes were thrown from shelves at Ossipee and Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, and goods fell from shelves at Effingham Falls. Many were frightened at Laconia. On March 18, 1926, a tremor centered near Manchester occurred. Buildings rocked and a few dishes fell at New Ipswich. Intensity V effects were also observed at Amherst, Lyndeborough, Manchester, Mason, and Wilton. A small, localized shock was felt at Concord on March 8, 1927. Dishes rattled and rumbling sounds were reported. This disturbance was felt lightly in Cheshire and Hillsborough counties.
Northern New Hampshire and nearby parts of Maine and Vermont experienced a moderate earthquake on April 25, 1928. The shock was felt over a line extending 145 kilometers from Lewiston, Maine, to St. Johsbury, Vermont. Berling and Gorham, New Hampshire, were apparently closest to the epicenter. The shock was described as "violent" in some paces, although little damage was done.
All of New Hampshire felt minor effects from a magnitude 7.2 earthquake on November 18, 1929. Historically known as the "Grand Banks" earthquake, the event was located about 250km south of the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. Another strong, distant earthquake affected the State on November 1, 1935, when a magnitude 6.25 shock occurred near Timiskaming, Canada. Damage was relatively slight in the epicentral region, largely because of the sparsity of population. The November 1 earthquake was felt over an area nearly 2,600,000 square kilometers in the United States and Canada. Intensity V effects were reported from Keene, West Manchester, and Woodville; many other places within the State reported this shock.
Two earthquakes, 4 days apart, centered near Lake Ossipee on December 20 and 24, 1940, caused damage over a broad area. Since the shocks were both of approximately the same intensity, the damage and felt reports were combined. Damage resulting from the second tremor was greater because of the weakening effects of the earlier shock. A maximum intensity of VII was noted at Tamworth and Wonalancet, where chimneys were thrown down, some walls were cracked, plaster fell, and a few pipes were broken. Much stucco was knocked loose from outside walls. Some furniture was also broken and there was considerable damage to china and glassware. There was evidence of ground cracks in the region near the two towns. The earthquakes were felt as far as 550 kilometers from the epicentral area and affected a total land area in the United States of approximately 390,000 square kilometers. This included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont and also parts of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. A large number of aftershocks were reported in the epicentral area. One observer counted 129 aftershocks through January 31, 1941.
An earthquake, on June 26, 1964, reached intensity VI at Meriden (fallen plaster) and caused slight damage at Bradford, New Hampshire, and Springfield, Vermont.

Great ballet - the casting was wonderful and frankly I think the third ring is one of the best places to sit in that theatre. You can see the entire stage, but it's not so high that you're staring at the tops of the dancers' heads.

Pug Puppy by angelofdarkbeautyWatch
©2008-2016 angelofdarkbeauty
My boyfriend and I went romping around the Marin Headlands yesterday and ran across a couple with a 10-week old pug puppy named George. Those who know me, know that I'm not the hugest fan of dogs, but oh dear, this puppy melted my heart. I played with him for probably a half-hour. He was the sweetest, most cuddly dog I've met.
that looks like my pug when she was little
I just bought one just like him! But it is a girl.
Awwww He looks just like my Toby did at that age.
How cute!
too cute.>3<
Awwww what a cutie-pie!!

This Time It's Different, Really
Okay, the last time it turned out not to be different after all. And the time before that, it wasn't different, either. But this time, we mean it; this time, it really is different.
"This time it's different" has become a cliche. Still, with the Dow and S&P 500 hitting nearly daily highs, as well as Germany's Dax for good measure, some are wondering if this is the time to sell, notes Dan Morris, a strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. After all, the previous two peaks, 2000 and 2007, were clearly (in retrospect, mind you) signals to sell. So, is it not different this time?
"In order to determine whether or not the markets can continue to appreciate it is necessary to evaluate the economic and financial environment," Morris wrote in a note, "which is quite different today from how it was in 2000 or 2007, the years of the previous peaks." The recent recession was caused by the bursting of the housing bubble and the "excess credit."
It's different today. "Earnings growth is steady, valuations are reasonable, and there are no (near-term) systemic risks." The systemic risks, the unwind of the housing bubble and the credit crisis that caused so much trouble in 2008, are not lurking around today, he said. "While economic growth today is generally lackluster, there do not appear to be any systemic risks like before, with the exception of the inevitable unwinding of QE," he wrote.
He acknowledges that valuation, of which so many bulls are seizing upon, isn't terribly helpful right now. Yes, the PE ratio on the S&P 500 is near its long-term average. But they were at the same level in 2007, he points out. "Valuations are most useful in signaling market direction at extremes, but not terribly helpful otherwise." But, he says, equities are not overvalued, "economic growth is likely to continue (if sub-trend), earnings growth (both realized and expected) continues at a reasonably good pace, and liquidity will continue to support markets, though there will be a price to pay for it in the future."
It's that last bit, the price to pay, that remains undefined, by anyone, not only Morris, and that is the biggest risk to this whole thing. How does the Fed unwind $3 trillion (and counting) worth of monetary policy without exacting a painful cost? The thing to worry about isn't the mechanics of it, the proverbial exit strategy; that can be figured out. The worry is, and should be, the actual cost. Especially when the Fed's action have sparked a global scramble among the world's central banks to devalue their currencies as well.
"Ultimately, a policy of devaluation to attain prosperity is flawed, especially when all major nations implement similar policies," wrote Satyajit Das, a former banker and consultant and author of the book Extreme Money. "Everybody cannot, by definition, have the cheapest currency. In the words of one central bank official, it is like peeing in bed to keep warm. While it might feel good at first, it soon becomes messy and difficult to clean up."
If the Fed can keep the unwind from getting messy, then maybe it really will be different this time. They will have also repealed the laws of physics as they apply to the laws of economics, but surely that's not asking too much of an omnipotent central bank, is it?
