"The first time I came here, I left my car running in case I wanted to leave immediately," the woman said, smiling at me over lunch under a big white tent.
I hadn't left my engine running, but I knew exactly what she meant. I'd thought long and hard before deciding to accept an invitation from the Yale Class of 1952 to attend their 55th reunion — the reunion that should have been my late husband's.
"I'd like you to meet Dr. Joe Jaffer," a friend said to me more than 40 years ago. Earlier, the same friend had told me Joe was a chemical engineer with a doctorate from Yale.
It's hard to imagine anything that could have impressed me more. At the time I'd never even sat in a college classroom. I was in awe of Joe's education and the institution where he'd received it, and I remained in awe throughout our life together. Joe said Yale was where he learned to think. He learned well. His knowledge encompassed many areas,from the lofty to the most practical. It was easy to leave everything to Joe; he would take care of it.
Even when he began to slip into dementia, a state that lasted ten years before he died in 2005, Joe impressed people with his intelligence and demeanor. His time at Yale had made a major contribution to the person he became — the husband, father, and employer who made everyone feel safe. I'd always wanted to attend one of his college reunions. I hoped to share a little Yale spirit with him, and capture some of what I'd missed before we knew one another. But he had his horses to take care of and a business to run, so we stayed home.
Then early in 2007 a handwritten note arrived, inviting me to be a guest of his class at their reunion. Did I jump at it? Hardly. My initial excitement was quickly replaced by anxiety. The Yale reunion was not the one-shot dinner-dance I'd always envisioned. This reunion took place over several days. Did I want to drive for three-and-a-half hours to a city I'd never visited, to spend three days in the company of 250 people I'd never met? Would I even be able to find the place? Did I have a clue what to wear?
For weeks, my answer to those questions was no. The Yale schedule of events called to me from my desk every so often: tours, lectures, workshops, dinners, dancing, the Whiffenpoofs — seductive stuff! But when I fell on an icy road in March and injured my knee, I thought, That's it. Can't go to Yale. Yes, my knee hurt. A lot. But it was still a feeble excuse.
It took me a couple of months to realize that if I attended the reunion, chances were excellent that I'd never regret it. And if I didn't go, chances were excellent that I'd be profoundly disappointed in myself. Thus, late enough in May that I was definitely down to the wire, I went online and accepted the invitation. And then I memorized a map of New Haven and went shopping.
I guess I really did memorize that map. After a pleasant, uneventful drive, I arrived on schedule at the Yale garage on a Friday in June. I parked my car and wheeled my suitcase to the appointed spot where a shuttle van would pick me up and take me to the reunion. As I waited, I overheard someone directing a traveler to one of New Haven's main thoroughfares.
"You exit over there," he said, pointing, "and turn right on Trumbull …"
"No!" I practically shouted. This poor stranger was messing with my firmly entrenched mental image of the city. "Trumbull is a cross street."
He turned to see who had interrupted him. If he was taken aback by my rude outburst, he didn't show it. "No, Trumbull is this street right here."
"It's not," I insisted. I may have glared at him. I hope not. "This is Temple. He should turn right on Temple. "
"Oh, you know, you're right."
But if I was on firm ground with directions, the rest of the weekend was full of surprises. The first was that many of Joe's classmates remembered him. He always said the Engineering School was somewhat removed from the Liberal Arts community. But at that Friday luncheon under the tent, minutes after my arrival, I was approached a number of times by gentlemen, most of them not engineers, who told me they'd known my husband. Over the course of the reunion, I even met two classmates who had gone to Andover with him as well.
My biggest surprise (other than the dorm bed, clearly suitable only for those under 20) was the feeling of community I experienced at Yale. The widows were welcomed with such warmth. Over and over, I was thanked for coming. Since the class had absorbed the $400+ fee for my attendance, I thought I should be thanking them. And I did. But a classmate's wife explained that they were grateful the widows were there to represent their husbands. Their presence made the class gathering more complete. Just as I'd been proud of Joe's remarkable education, I was proud to be a Yale Widow. I thought of it that way, too, with a capital W.
And then there was the fun. For three days I smiled, laughed, shook hands, and hugged. We ate fabulous food (lobster, filet mignon, all the fresh raspberries we wanted), drank excellent wine, and danced. At the Class Dinner I coveted the aprons worn by the wait staff — navy blue with a crisp white YALE embroidered on the front. The charming gentleman seated next to me (at 87, the oldest member of the Class of '52) arranged to have one given to me.
The daily activities offered another kind of tempting menu. What made Mozart a musical genius? A professor of music history was prepared to tell us. Did I want to learn about astrophysics? Well, maybe not, although Joe might have attended that one. A class on the biology of feathers sounded intriguing. And who could resist a lecture entitled, "The Middle Ages: A Thousand Years Without a Bath"?
In the end, I passed up lectures and tours (the Yale Art Gallery, the Gilmore Music Library, the Payne Whitney Gymnasium) and chose discussion groups on singing (we didn't talk — we sang) and writing (we didn't write — we talked), and a glee club workshop that culminated in the members of our workshop opening the Celebration of Yale Singing that night at Woolsey Hall. I stood on the Woolsey stage, the massive pipes of the magnificent Newberry Organ in back of us, and looked out at the audience. Joe might have sat in every chair. Our chorus sang football songs, and as I joined them, wishing poor Harvard all manner of ills, I could see his smile — Joe, who knew that my understanding of football consisted of knowing that one team wins and one team loses.
Between activities, I put my camera around my neck and walked. One of Joe's classmates had suggested that I photograph Timothy Dwight College and the stately brick Colonial building where Joe had roomed in his undergraduate years. I started there. I followed the sidewalks of Temple and Elm, Chapel and College, and envisioned my husband walking those streets in front of me, shoulders square, youthful head held high.
If I had any doubt about whether or not I belonged at the reunion, it was dispelled on the first day. That Friday afternoon a memorial service was held at the beautiful Battell Chapel. The Class of '52 Whiffenpoofs sang, and names were read aloud of the more than 80 classmates who had died since the 50th reunion. Joe's name, of course, was among them. Afterward, walking back to the dorm, I stopped cold when I came face-to-face with a large poster board on College Street. It was covered with red and white flyers, all identical.
A year-and-a-half earlier, when I received the middle-of-the-night call that Joe was dying, I arrived at the nursing home with a music CD. I turned off the country gospel tunes well-meaning nurses had been playing in his room and replaced them with Shostakovich's Fifth. The symphony was a great favorite of Joe's, and it had special meaning for us because it was the first piece of modern classical music he'd introduced me to when we were dating. Shostakovich's Fifth was the last music he heard on this earth.
So there I was on College Street in New Haven, staring at a huge display of posters in red and white, all announcing a performance of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony. It had taken place two weeks earlier, at the Yale Commencement Concert at Battell Chapel. It wasn't the first time tears filled my eyes during my weekend at Yale, nor was it the last.
That weekend was everything I could have imagined, and nothing I could have imagined. It was as if my vision of the experience had been on a little black and white TV, and the reality was in Technicolor, beamed onto a movie screen. My first sight of Yale was the gothic stone of Branford College, gorgeous buildings on their own but that day festooned with royal blue and white banners welcoming various classes to their reunions. Welcoming me. When I left three days later, the last thing I saw was the broad smile of the undergraduate who directed our group to the shuttle van that would take us to our cars. I smiled back, wondering if she saw in us a glimpse of her future. Then I said goodbye to Yale, taking with me a part of my husband's past.

Experimentation? Martin Johnson never had the inclination, and now he doesn't have the time either. The seventh World Cup is less than a year away, so the prospects of the manager ripping things up and starting again at this stage in the game are on the distant side of remote. The vast majority of those who beat Australia last time out, in Sydney back in June, will take the field against the All Blacks at Twickenham on Saturday, and unless something really drastic happens – a defeat of 25 points or more – they are likely to stay together for the meeting with the Wallabies a week later.
Andrew Sheridan of Sale will replace the jettisoned Tim Payne at loose-head prop, and there might have been further decisions to make had two Wasps, the centre Riki Flutey and the lock Simon Shaw, played a full part in training over the last eight days. But as both men are struggling with calf injuries, the red-rose staff were always likely to stick with Mike Tindall and Shontayne Hape in midfield, together with the incumbent engine room partnership of Tom Palmer and Courtney Lawes.
Hape has less of a kicking game than the World Cup-winning maestro Will Greenwood, who put boot to ball about twice a season, and is even less of a rugby genius. But at 6ft 2in and 16st-plus, the New Zealand-born player is substantial, and in the opinion of Johnson and his coaching colleagues, that's the main thing. They look at the other big beasts in the international jungle – Ma'a Nonu of the All Blacks, Jean de Villiers of South Africa, Jamie Roberts of Wales – and see a trio of outsized, non-kicking match-winners. "We've wanted one of those for ages, and now we've got one," they say.
An alternative might have been to use Tindall, a career 13, in the 12 position, where Gloucester currently play him in order to accommodate the promising Henry Trinder. That would have allowed Hape to relocate to outside centre, which is where he turns out for Bath – confusing, isn't it? - or opened up a space for Delon Armitage of London Irish, who is very much back in the selectors' good books after a miserable run of form last season. But Armitage wears the No 13 shirt about as often as the Chancellor of the Exchequer attends meetings of the Young Trotskyists. The notion of him pitting his wits against the brilliant Conrad Smith this weekend was not a reassuring one.
Midfield is a desperate problem, for even if Hape and Tindall can stack up physically against the best the incoming tourists have to offer, not even close family members would suggest they can live with them for pace. Yet Johnson and company seem to have decided that the only way to beat the southern hemisphere nations is to play the southern hemisphere way. It is a risky business, for sure: this season's Tri-Nations tournament produced almost six tries a game – an increase on the previous year of precisely 100 per cent – and it takes an imaginative leap of serious proportions to see England surviving in such an environment.
Various people were called in yesterday as "injury cover": England-speak for training-field extras, required because some members of the squad were suffering from the effects of the weekend Premiership matches. Lewis Moody, the captain, had 10 stitches in his head, while another back-rower, Joe Worsley of Wasps, had a dozen in a facial wound. Worsley's clubmate, the centre Dominic Waldouck, was suffering from neck trouble, as was Matt Banahan of Bath. As a result, the Northampton flankers Tom Wood and Phil Dowson, were summoned, as was the Leicester centre Anthony Allen and the Gloucester back James Simpson-Daniel.
Whatever the extent of England's problems, Wales were suffering more. The Scarlets centre Jonathan Davies was the latest to withdraw from the squad, giving best yesterday to the ankle problem he picked up last week, and thanks to a range of issues in the back row, the head coach Warren Gatland has summoned, as if from nowhere, the 19-year-old Newport Gwent Dragons flanker Toby Faletau, who ancestry is significantly more Tongan than it is Welsh.Reuse content

I will admit that when women's MMA first started being integrated into some of the bigger fight cards, I wasn't interested.
Call me what you will, but I have never been a huge advocate of women's sports in general. It's not an ability thing—just more of a watchability thing for me.
That all changed for me—as far as WMMA is concerned—when Gina Carano took on Julie Kedzie at EliteXC: Destiny in February 2007.
Watching those ladies battle it out with the same determination and desire as their male counterparts really opened my eyes. I still wasn't quite hooked, but I was intrigued.
Now, while I am far from a hardcore WMMA fan, I do find myself looking forward to many of women's fights with a similar level of anticipation I have from some UFC events.
Recently I found myself wondering what would happen if some of our favorite female action characters were to get down and dirty with some of the lovely ladies from WMMA.

Bishop of Sardica, a heretic in the latter part of the fourth century. Against the common teaching of the Church he held that, after Jesus, Mary had several other children. The Council of Capua (391), before which the matter was brought, did not pass any judgment on it, but referred it to the Metropolitan Anysius of Thessalonica and the other bishops of Illyria. They condemned Bonosus and tried to exclude him from his church. In a letter to the same bishops Pope Siricius approves the sentence and also condemns the opinion that Mary did not always preserve her virginity. Notwithstanding his condemnation, and the prudent advice of St. Ambrose to submit, Bonosus continued to exercise the episcopal functions, to consecrate bishops and ordain priests. According to two letters of Pope Innocent I, one to Martian of Naïssa (409), and the other to the bishops of Macedonia (414), those ordained by Bonosus before his condemnation were to be received in the Church without a new ordination, those ordained since Bonosus's condemnation, especially if they had themselves sought to be ordained by him, were to be deprived of their dignity. As Innocent speaks of Bonosus as no longer living, we may infer that he died at the end of the fourth, or the beginning of the fifth century.
Whether, besides denying Mary's perpetual virginity, Bonosus also denied Christ's divinity cannot be determined with certainty. But it is certain that his followers, the Bonosians, to whom we find references in the councils and in ecclesiastical writers up to the seventh century, denied this dogma. On this point they were at one with the Photinians. As a consequence, they affirmed the purely adoptive divine filiation of Our Lord . However, they differed from the Adoptionists in rejecting all natural sonship, whereas the Adoptionists, distinguishing in Christ the God and the man, attributed to the former a natural, and to the latter an adoptive sonship. The baptism conferred by the Bonosians was by some declared valid and by others invalid.

Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Several people injured in J&K car bomb blast
Meanwhile in Pattan in Baramullah district, security forces are engaged in an encounter with militants holed up in a house. The troops have cordoned off the area.
New Delhi: A day of violence in Kashmir as a car bomb blast occurred on the national Highway in Bijbhera in Anantnag district on Thursday. Several people are reported to be injured.
Reports say the car was parked near a security installation near a hospital. The explosion caused panic among people who fled the area, thinking militants had carried out a suicide attack, they said.
The impact of the blast was so powerful that it left the car in a completely mangled state and police was trying to ascertain the registration details and make of the vehicle, they said.
No militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the blast which apparently went off prematurely. The identity of the deceased could not be ascertained as he was blown to pieces in the explosion, the officials said.
Meanwhile in Pattan in Baramullah district, security forces are engaged in an encounter with militants holed up in a house. The troops have cordoned off the area.
A police spokesman said three CRPF personnel were among those injured in the blast.
The CRPF personnel were deployed on road opening duties in the area and were hit by splinters in the explosion, the spokesman said.
He identified two of the injured jawans as constables Bajrang and Sanjeev, saying the identity of the third personnel could not be immediately ascertained.

FAIRMONT - Longtime Fairmont resident Lavonne Bowman was given a special going-away gift Thursday when city officials presented her with a key to the city.
With 12 years serving Ward 4 - "The North Side," as Bowman proudly states - on the City Council, Bowman was involved in shaping what Fairmont is today.
"With everything she's done, Lavonne has been a big part of everything that's been done," Fairmont Mayor Randy Quiring said Thursday. "So I would just like to thank Lavonne for all she has done for Fairmont."

SAYING?THANKS — Fairmont Mayor Randy Quiring presents Lavonne Bowman with a key to the city Thursday at the The Ranch Restaurant in Fairmont.
Quiring, along with council members Wes Clerc and Harlan Gorath and soon-to-be city administrator Mike Humpal, surprised Bowman during a luncheon at The Ranch Restaurant.
Bowman, born and raised on Winnebago Avenue in Fairmont, is relocating to Aitkin later this month to be closer to family.
"I'm speechless for a change," Bowman said. "All I can say is that I'm proud of being a North-sider. Ward 4 is very special to me. Fairmont has so much going on right now; I'm really pleased. We're advancing and growing ... I will dearly miss Fairmont."
During Bowman's years on the council, she served on nearly every board at one point, from planning and zoning to public utilities.
She also has been an active volunteer, ranging from her support for the Winnebago ball diamonds to the group "3M Cares."
"She has such a passion for Fairmont," Clerc said. "She always fought for the city. A lot of time she may not have agreed with what the council was doing, but if she knew that was what was best for the city, she didn't argue."
"She really brought in a good example of going for what's best for Fairmont," Quiring said. "Even if it wasn't what was best for Ward 4, she always went with what was best for the whole town.
"Even now, she comes and talks to me, she's always bragging up Fairmont, always volunteering," he said. "Aitkin is going to have a shining star now, and we're going to miss her."

I waited longer than normal to write this column because my emotions were so raw after the pitiful display against Buffalo that I was afraid the editors of Seahawks.Net would have to put in overtime just to bleep out and clean up my rantings. (Editor's Note: After last Sunday, I wouldn't worry about it...) I took a couple of days to ask myself why I care so much whether we win or lose when it appears that my team does not. I asked myself why I get so geeked up for every single game when it appears that my team does not.
Of course the answer, as always, is because I love the Seattle Seahawks and have for 29 years and nothing, no matter how bad we play, no matter how flat we are, no matter how crazy it drives me and every other fanatic out there, is going to change that. That said, it doesn't mean that I'm going to just sit there and watch our guys bumble and stumble their way to yet another disappointing season without saying something about it.
I'm tired of hearing and reading Mike Holmgren's 'golly gee whiz' remarks about how we play. I'm tired of him saying that he thinks we are playing hard, 'he really, really does, gosh darn it' and that we have to eliminate mistakes, 'we really, really need to clean that up just a little bit, we really, really need to do that' kind of attitude. Can you imagine what Bill Cowher would do to this team if he were coaching it?
There just doesn't seem to be that fire and determination to go kick somebody's butt either before or after a game. And after reading what Shaun Alexander said about having to laugh to keep from crying after a game like this and that we're okay because we'd still be in first place after this week just solidifies my concerns that this squad of players just doesn't get it or just doesn't care, I'm not sure which. There just doesn't seem to be any fear from anyone about losing their jobs or starting positions regardless of how they perform. One bad game is forgivable. Maybe even a couple of bad games throughout the year is, but our guys are so consistently inconsistent it's maddening.
When is Mike Holmgren going to hold these guys accountable for the way they play? When is he going to pull someone like Darrell Jackson aside and tell him, "Son, if you don't start catching the damn ball I'm going to sit you for a while until you get it together". When is someone going to go off on this team and get everyone else's attention that things are NOT okay the way they are going and that change is needed immediately if we're going to make the playoffs and do some damage once we get there.
I must say that it was slightly encouraging to hear what Matt Hasselbeck had to say during the press conference about how we would never see that Seahawk team that played against Buffalo ever again and that he takes responsibility for the way we've been playing lately. And it's a little encouraging to see that some of the players who are supposed to be leaders on this team, namely Alexander and Wistrom, say that the guys have circled this horrible game on their calendars as a game that will determine which way our season ends by never having it repeated. If these guys really mean it, then I think the rest of the year could be very exciting.
I think we'll find out this Monday night on national television if our guys truly mean what they say about never performing like they did against Buffalo again. Most people look at our Seahawks as mentally soft and while I totally agree, it's still embarrassing to hear. It should really eat at the heart of our guys to hear stuff like that but so far that doesn't appear to be the case. We could make a statement against the Cowboys that enough is enough and that we've got things straightened out or we could solidify every fan and expert's opinion that we are indeed soft. Which is it going to be, guys?
Watching our Seahawks play like we did against Buffalo raises so many questions such as;
Why doesn't Jerheme Urban get more playing time? I've read thate Holmgren gives him praise for the way he actually catches the ball (imagine that Seahawks fans, a wide receiver who can and does actually catch the ball!!!) but states that he won't see the field very much if the other receivers are healthy. What the hell are we waiting for? If this kid can make plays, and every indication is that he can, then why not put him in there? He's obviously playing with a hunger that most of our other receivers don't play with. Sure he's going to make the occasional mistake because of inexperience but at least he can and does catch the damn ball. Put Urban in there!!!
Why do we feature Mack Strong so much in the offensive schemes? I love Strong to death. He's a great guy and a great player but he's a big, tough fullback who should be leading Alexander through the holes and not the focal point of our offense on some plays. Why give him the ball on 3rd and 10? Why run screens for a fullback when we have Alexander and Morris available? Why run his butt up the middle 4 or 5 times a game for a yard or two each time? Again, this is not a knock on Strong but rather a question to Holmgren about play calling.
Why do our cornerbacks give opposing receives so much room? I mean, we play 10 yards off of no-name receivers who eat us alive while marching down the field. Why? Is it Ray Rhodes' schemes? Are we afraid that Lucas and Trufant can't hang with these guys? I personally don't think that's the case because these two guys appear to have all the skills needed to be shut down corners and Lucas is having a really good year but my God, we give receivers way too much room. Personally I don't think we've been getting the safety help over the top which is causing Trufant to give too much of a cushion in order to avoid getting beat deep. I don't think he has the confidence that Bierria will be there to help. Again, if that's the case then why haven't we done something about it?
Although I hated hearing Alexander say that regardless of what happened this past Sunday we'd still be in first place, he was right. The Rams are giving us every single opportunity to win this division by playing just as badly as we are. Do we want it? It's there for the taking but we don't play like it really matters. That has to change right now. Some of our guys have openly expressed that the attitude is now different and that the Buffalo will mark a turning point in our season. My question is which way is it going to turn? What's it going to be guys? Are we going to be division champs or mental midgets?
I think we'll find out real soon.
It's a great time to be
a Seahawks fan (although sometimes I wonder), always has been, always will be.

Intervention granted for breaking and entering cases
LISBON – John W. Jarvis II, 36, Beech Street, Wellsville, was granted four years of intervention in lieu of conviction in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court. He agreed to plead guilty to breaking and entering, possession of criminal tools and two counts of possession of drugs for heroin and cocaine in his possession on Nov. 11, 2011. According to court documents, Jarvis on Aug. 2, 2012 trespassed into a vacant home on Beech Street while in possession of a homemade ski mask, hammer, pliers, plastic wire cable ties, flashlight and gloves. He had faced up to four years in prison, a six-month license suspension and a $10,000 fine.
William McMillan, 20, Fairfield School Road, Columbiana, was granted four years intervention in lieu of conviction with the first six months to be served at the Eastern Ohio Correctional Center. McMillan pleaded guilty to breaking and entering and receiving stolen property for entering the New Waterford Volunteer Fire Department on Nov. 29. Additionally, the same night, he and two others – Jason Cope and Alex Cook – reportedly took a vehicle stolen from Shane Ryhal, removed the parts from it, drove it to a wooded area near Millrock and Peace Valley roads and set it on fire. McMillan had faced up to two and a half years in prison and a $7,500 fine.
Cope has pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property charges and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 25. Cook was sentenced two weeks ago to 36 months in prison for a list of theft related crimes, including the one involving the same stolen vehicle, and a felonious assault for attacking a corrections officer.

AUBURN HILLS -- The Detroit Pistons have a nasty habit of allowing teams to hang around the playoffs longer than they probably should, often giving away a winnable game or two in the process.
In the past, this has come back to bite them.
But this group of Pistons have been saying all season long that they are, well, different. And when they get a chance to put a team away they'll put them away.
And when it's time to move on to the next round, consider it done -- regardless of who plays or doesn't play.
Highlights of the Detroit Pistons' 91-86 NBA playoff victory against the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal Tuesday:
• Key play: Clinging to an 85-84 lead with less than a minute to play, Rasheed Wallace shot a 15-foot jumper that was off the mark. Orlando's Hedo Turkoglu tried to grab the loose ball, but swatted it out of bounds instead. Detroit maintained possession with 20.9 seconds to play.
• Hero: Antonio McDyess. Learning just hours before tipoff that his grandmother had passed away, McDyess responded with his best game of the playoffs, with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
• Goat: Rashard Lewis was brutal in every sense of the word. Orlando's $118 million man had 14 points and seven rebounds, but he wound up with more turnovers (six) than field goals made.
• Analysis: Rodney Stuckey wasn't the only one who grew up in this playoff series. The entire Pistons squad did. Tuesday's game was the kind of game that, previous Detroit teams would have surely found a way to lose. Instead, they played an inspiring brand of basketball in which they got back to their defensive-minded roots and balanced scoring to finish off a talented Orlando squad in just five games. That bodes well for them as they move on to face either Boston or Cleveland for a trip to the NBA Finals.
That mindset served them well on Tuesday night as they held on for a 91-86 Game 5 win over Orlando to close out their second round series and advance to the Eastern Conference finals for a sixth consecutive season.
The last team to make six straight trips to the Conference finals was the Showtime Los Angeles Lakers (1984-1989).
"It's an awesome feeling for us to get the opportunity to play in the Eastern Conference finals for six straight years," said Pistons guard Richard Hamilton, who led all scorers with 31 points and is now the franchise's all-time leader in points scored in the playoffs, with 2,182.
Hamilton, who has been a part of all six trips to the Conference finals, knows how difficult it can be to make deep playoff runs year after year.
With some teams, it's a goal.
In Detroit, it's an expectation.
"It's one of those things that we feel as though we're supposed to," Hamilton said. "When the first round goes by, we feel as though we're supposed to win. The second one, we're supposed to win. That's our confidence."
And it's not just the veterans, either.
Rookie Rodney Stuckey, starting in place of Chauncey Billups (strained right hamstring) for the second straight game, exudes a similar brand of confidence when he steps on the floor.
He certainly didn't look like a neophyte to the pressure of a series-clinching game on Tuesday. The 6-foot-5 guard had 15 points, six assists and two steals.
"What can you really say about him?" said Pistons coach Flip Saunders. "He is a rookie that has developed over the course of the year."
Said Stuckey: "It's awesome just being around this group of guys. They make you confident and I know I don't have to worry about anything because I know who I got behind my back so when I am out there, I am always calm."
That cool demeanor seemed to have engulfed the entire Pistons squad, as they set an NBA record for fewest turnovers in a playoff game, with three -- all of which came in the first quarter.
Turnovers played a prominent role in Orlando's struggles, as they committed 21 which led to 34 points for Detroit.
"It was a disappointing way to go out," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "Nothing's going to feel good if you lose, but if you come in and play great and they play great and you just can't get it done that's one thing. But 21 turnovers and 57 percent at the free-throw line, it's just very disappointing to come into an elimination game and play that poorly and make that many mistakes."
And the Pistons, to their credit, took advantage of Orlando's miscues -- something Pistons teams of the past didn't always do as well as this group has done thus far.
"We've been known to gas away games, cost ourselves a little extra energy that we know we need," Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter said.
But that doesn't appear to be an issue -- not in this postseason, anyway.

In this discourse, I want to focus on the nuts and bolts of walking meditation. I shall address the how, when, where and why of this form of meditation. I intend this discourse to include both practical instructions of the technical aspects of walking meditation and instructions for creating the quality of mind that leads to concentration, insight and wisdom, through the physical activity of walking meditation.
The Buddha stressed developing mindfulness in the four main postures of the body: standing, sitting, lying down and walking (DN 22, MN 10). He exhorted us to be mindful in all these postures, to create a clear awareness and recollection of what we are doing when we are in any particular posture.
When you read about the lives of the monks and nuns at the time of the Buddha, you see that many obtained the stages of Enlightenment while on the walking meditation path. Walking meditation is called Cankama in Pàli. Walking meditation is an activity in which one can focus and concentrate the mind and develop investigative knowledge and wisdom as well.
Some people find that they are naturally drawn to doing walking meditation, because they find it easier and more natural than sitting meditation. When they sit they feel dull, or they're tense, or they are easily distracted. Their mind doesn't calm down. If this is the case with you, don't just persevere; try a change of posture and do something new. Do something different; experiment with standing meditation or try walking meditation. This new meditation posture may give you some other skilful means of applying the mind. All of the four postures of meditation are just techniques, methods for developing and training the mind.
Try and develop walking meditation; you may start to see the benefits of it. In the Forest Meditation Tradition in Northeast Thailand, there is a great emphasis on walking meditation. Many monks will walk for long hours as a way of developing concentration – sometimes as much as ten or fifteen hours a day!
The late Ajahn Singtong used to do so much walking meditation that he would make a rut in his walking path, and the novices would have to come and fill in the hollow. The sandy path that he used for walking meditation would actually become hollow because he would walk so many hours a day – sometimes up to fifteen or more hours a day! I know of another monk who walked meditation so much that he wouldn't bother to go into his hut at night. When he got really tired after walking meditation all day and late into the night, he would lay down right there on the meditation path and use his fist as a pillow. He would go to sleep with mindfulness, having made a determination to get up the moment he woke. As soon as he woke up, he would start walking again. He basically lived on his walking meditation path! That monk was quick to attain results in his practice.
Here, in the West, there is not such an emphasis on the practice of walking meditation. This is why I would like to describe the process and recommend it to you to compliment your sitting practice. These instructions will hopefully help you develop your repertoire of meditative techniques – in both formal meditation and in your daily life. As so much of life is taken up with the activity of walking, if you know how to apply awareness to that, then even simply walking about in your house can become a meditation exercise.
The Five Benefits of Walking Meditation
The Buddha spoke of five benefits of walking meditation (AN, III, 29). In the order that he listed them in this Sutta, they are as follows: It develops endurance for walking long distances; it is good for striving; it is healthy; it is good for the digestion after a meal, and the concentration won from walking meditation lasts a long time.
Good for Developing Endurance for Walking Distances. The first benefit of walking meditation is that it leads to endurance in walking distances. This was particularly important at the time of the Buddha when most people travelled by foot. The Buddha himself would regularly go wandering from place to place walking up to sixteen kilometres a day. So he recommended that walking meditation be used as a way of developing physical fitness and endurance for walking distances.
Forest monks, these days still go wandering; it's called Tudong. They take their bowls and robes and walk seeking out secluded places to meditate. In preparation to go out wandering, they progressively increase the amount of walking meditation so as to develop their physical fitness and endurance. They increase the number of hours of walking meditation a day to at least five or six hours. If you are walking an average of four or five kilometres an hour and doing five hours of walking meditation a day, the number of kilometres builds up.
Good for Striving. Striving, especially to overcome drowsiness, is the second benefit. While practising sitting meditation, meditators may find that they tend to slip into tranquil states, but if they are a bit too "tranquil", without awareness, then they may start nodding or even snoring. Time goes quickly, but they don't have any clarity or awareness even though it feels "peaceful". Without mindfulness and awareness, meditation can turn into dull "tranquillity" because it has been overcome by sloth and torpor. Developing walking meditation can counteract this tendency.
As an example, Ajahn Chah used to recommend that once a week we stay up all night. We would sit and walk meditation throughout the night. One tends to get very drowsy by one or two in the morning, so Ajahn Chah would recommend doing walking meditation, walking backwards as a way of overcoming drowsiness. You don't fall asleep walking backwards!
I remember once at Bodhinyàna Monastery in Western Australia going out early one morning, around five o'clock, to do some walking meditation. I saw one of the laymen, who was staying for the Rains Retreat in the monastery putting forth great effort to overcome drowsiness. He was actually walking meditation up and down the top of the six-foot high wall in front of the monastery – very mindfully walking up and down on top of the wall! I was a little concerned that he might fall and hurt himself. However, he was actually putting great effort and care into being mindful of each step and was in the process of overcoming drowsiness by developing a highlighted sense of alertness, effort and zeal.
Good for Health. The Buddha said that walking meditation leads to good health. This is the third benefit. We are all aware that walking is considered a very good form of exercise. We even hear of "power walking" these days. Well, we are talking about "power meditation", developing walking meditation as both a physical and mental exercise. This way walking can be used both as a good form of exercise, and as a way to cultivate the mind. But to get both benefits, we have to bring awareness to the process of walking, instead of just walking and letting the mind wander off thinking of other things.
Good for Digestion. The fourth benefit of walking meditation is that it is good for the digestion. This is particularly important for monks who eat one meal a day. After a meal, the blood goes to the stomach and away from the brain. Thus one can feel drowsy. Forest Monks stress that after a meal one should do a few hours of walking meditation, because walking up and down helps the digestion. For lay meditators too if you have had a heavy meal, instead of going to bed, go out and do an hour of walking meditation. It will help with physical well being and be a chance to cultivate the mind.
Good for Sustaining Concentration. The fifth important benefit of walking meditation is that the concentration that arises out of walking meditation sustains itself for a long time. The walking posture is actually quite a coarse meditative posture compared to sitting. While sitting, it's easy to maintain one's posture. We have our eyes closed so there are no visual sense stimuli, and we're not engaged in any bodily movement. So sitting, in comparison to walking, is a very refined posture in terms of the activities involved. Even standing is a more refined physical posture, because there is no movement taking place. The "Lion Posture", lying down on our right side, is even a more refined meditative posture again.
When we are walking there is a lot of sensory input. We are looking where we are going; thus there is visual input, and also there is sensory input from the movement of the body. Therefore if we can concentrate the mind while walking and receiving all this sensory stimuli, then when we change from that posture to a more refined one, concentration becomes easier to maintain. That is, when we sit down the strength of mind and power of that concentration carries over easily to this more refined posture.
Whereas if one has developed concentration only in the sitting posture, when one gets up from that position and begins coarse bodily movements like walking, it's harder to maintain that state of concentration. This is because one is moving from the refined to the coarse. So we see that walking meditation can help to develop strength and clarity of mind, and a concentration that can carry over into other less active meditation postures.
Setting Up for Walking Meditation
Finding a Suitable Place
How does one do walking meditation? Firstly, we find a quiet place with few distractions, suitable for a walking meditation path. The place where the Lord Buddha did walking meditation at Bodhgaya after his Enlightenment still exists to this day. His walking path was seventeen steps long. These days the Forest Monks tend to make their walking meditation paths much longer. They can be up to thirty steps long. The beginner may find thirty paces a bit too long for them because their mindfulness is not yet developed. By the time they get to the end of the path, the mind may have been "around the world and back". Remember, walking is a stimulating posture, and initially the mind tends to wander a lot. It is usually better for beginners to start off on a shorter path; fifteen paces would be a good length.
If you are going to walk meditation outside, find a secluded place where you won't be distracted or disturbed. It is good to find a walking path that is slightly enclosed. It can be a distraction to walk in an open area where there is a view, as you may find that the mind is drawn out to the scenery. An enclosed area is especially suitable for speculative personalities who like to think a lot; it helps to calm their minds down (Vsm, III, 103). If the path is closed in, it tends to bring the mind inwards, into one's self and towards peace.
Preparing the Body and Mind
Once you have chosen a suitable path, stand at one end. Stand erect. Put the right hand over the left in front of you. Don't walk with your hands behind your back. I remember Tan Ajahn Tui, a Meditation Master who visited our monastery, commenting when he saw one of the guests walking up and down with his hands behind his back: "He's not walking meditation; he's going for a stroll". He made that remark because there was not enough clear determination to focus the mind on walking meditation, by placing the hands in front -- to differentiate that from just walking.
The practice is to develop Samadhi, and that takes focussed effort. The Pàli word Samàdhi means focussing the mind, developing the mind to one-pointedness by gradual degrees of mindfulness and concentration. To focus the mind, one has to be diligent and determined. This firstly requires a degree of physical as well as mental composure. One begins composing oneself by clasping the hands in front. Composing the body helps to compose the mind. Having thus composed the body, one should then stand still and bring awareness and attention to the body. Then raise one's hands together in anjali, a gesture of respect, and with one's eyes shut reflect for a few minutes on the qualities of the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha (Buddhanusatti, Dhammanusatti and Sanghanusatti).
You can contemplate having taken refuge in the Buddha – on the Wise One, on He who Knows and Sees, the Awakened One, the Fully Enlightened One. Reflect in your heart on the qualities of the Buddha for a few minutes. Then recall the Dhamma – the Truth that you are striving to realize and cultivate on the walking meditation path. Finally, bring to mind the Sangha – especially those fully enlightened ones who have realized the truth by cultivating meditation. Then bring the hands down in front of you and make a mental determination on how long you are going to walk meditation, be it half an hour, one hour, or more. However long you determine to walk for, stick to it. In this manner you are nurturing the mind at that initial stage of the meditation with zest, inspiration and confidence.
Also it's important to mention, when walking, to remember to keep the eyes cast down about a metre and a half in front. Don't be looking around distracted by this or that. Keep awareness on the feeling at the soles of the feet, and in this way, you develop more refined attention, and clear knowing.
Choosing a Meditation Object and Getting Started
The Buddha taught forty different meditation objects (Vsm, III, 104) many of which can be used on the walking path. However some are more suitable than others. I'll discuss a number of these meditation objects here beginning with the most common: awareness of the walking posture itself.
Awareness of the Walking Posture
In this method, while walking you place all your attention at the soles of the feet, on the sensations and feelings as they arise and pass away. (This is assuming that you may be walking bare footed, as most monks do. However you can do it with some shoes on, especially if they are light soled shoes.) As you begin walking, these feelings will change. As the foot is lifted and comes down again into contact with the path, a new feeling arises. Place your awareness on that sensation, as it is felt through the sole of the foot. Again as the foot lifts, mentally note the new feeling as it arises. When you lift each foot and place it down, note the sensations felt. At each new step, certain new feelings are experienced and old feelings cease. This should be known with mindfulness. With each step there is a new feeling experienced – feeling arising, feeling passing away; feeling arising, feeling passing away.
In this method, we place mindfulness on the feeling of walking itself, on each step taken, on the vedanà (pleasant, unpleasant or neutral sensations). We are aware of whatever type of vedanà arises at the soles of the feet. When we stand, there is a sensation, a feeling, of the contact with the ground. This contact can produce pain, heat or other sensations. We place our mindful attention on those feelings, knowing them fully. When raising the foot to take a step, the feeling changes as soon as the foot loses contact with the ground. When we place that foot down, again a new feeling arises as the foot comes into contact with the ground. As we walk, feelings are constantly changing and arising anew. We mindfully note this arising and passing away of feeling as the soles of the feet lift off or touch onto the ground. In this way we are keeping our full attention just on the sensations of walking.
Have you ever really noticed before the feelings in the feet as you walk? They happen every time we walk, but we tend not to notice these subtle things in life. When we walk, our minds tend to be somewhere else. Walking meditation is a way of simplifying what we're doing when we're doing it. We're bringing the mind to the "here and now", being one with walking when walking. We are simplifying everything, quieting the mind by just knowing feeling as it's arising and passing away.
How fast should you walk? Find your own pace. Ajahn Chah recommended walking naturally, not too slow or too fast. If you walk fast, you might find it very difficult to concentrate on the sensation of feeling arising and then passing away. You may need to slow down a bit. On the other hand some people may need actually to speed up. It depends on the person. You have to find your own pace, whatever works for you. You can begin slowly at first then gradually come to your normal walking pace.
If your mindfulness is weak (meaning your mind wanders a lot), then walk very slowly until you can stay in the present moment of each step. Start by establishing mindfulness at the beginning of the path. When you arrive in the middle of the path, then mentally ask yourself, "Where is my mind? Is it on the feeling at the soles of the feet? Am I knowing the contact here and now, at this present moment?" If the mind has wandered off, then bring it back to the sensations at the feet again and continue walking.
When you get to the end of the path, turn slowly around and re-establish your mindfulness. Where is the mind? Does it know the feeling at the soles of the feet? Or has it wandered off? The mind tends to wander elsewhere chasing thoughts of: anxiety, fear, happiness, sorrow, worries, doubts, pleasures, frustrations and all the other myriad thoughts that can possibly arise. If mindfulness of the meditation object is not present, re-establish it first, and then start walking back. Re-establish the mind on the simple act of walking, and then begin to walk back to the other end of the path. When you get to the middle of the path, you should note, "I am now at the middle of the path" and check again to see if the mind is with the object. Then, once you arrive at the end of the path mentally note, "Where is the mind?" In this way, you walk back and forth mindfully aware of the feelings arising and passing away. While walking, constantly re-establish your mindfulness – pulling the mind back, drawing the mind inward, becoming aware, knowing the feeling at each moment as it is arising and passing away.
As we sustain mindfulness on the sensations and feelings at the soles of the feet, we will notice that the mind gets less distracted. The mind is less inclined to go out to things that are happening around us. We become calmer. The mind will become tranquil. The mind settles down. Once the mind becomes tranquil and calm, then you'll find that the walking posture becomes too coarse an activity for this quality of mind. You just want to be still. So stop and stand and allow the mind to experience this calm tranquillity. This is known as Passaddhi; it is one of the factors of Enlightenment.
If while walking the mind becomes very refined, you might even find that it's actually impossible to continue. Walking involves the mental volition to move, and your mind may be too involved in the meditation for that. So stop and stand on the walking meditation path and continue the practice in that position. Meditation is about the work of the mind, not necessarily about any particular posture. The posture is just a convenient means to enhance the work of the mind.
Concentration and tranquillity work together with mindfulness. Combined with the factors of energy, investigation of Dhamma, joy and equanimity; these are the "Seven Factors of Enlightenment". When in meditation the mind is tranquil, then because of that tranquillity there will arise a sense of joy, rapture, and bliss. The Buddha said that the bliss of peace is the highest happiness, (MN, I, 454) and a concentrated mind experiences that peace. This peace can be experienced in our lives.
Having developed walking meditation in a formal context, then when we are walking around in our daily lives – going to the shops, walking from one room to the other or even walking to the bathroom – we can use this act of walking as meditation. We can be aware just of walking, simply being with that process. Our minds can be still and peaceful. This is a way of developing concentration and tranquillity in our daily lives.
Taking a Sitting Meditation Object on to the Walking Path
If while sitting meditation the mind becomes calm, then when you do walking meditation you can use that same meditation object. However with some very subtle meditation objects, such as the breath, the mind must have attained a certain degree of stability and calmness first. If the mind is not yet calm enough and you try to start walking meditation focusing on the breath, it will be very difficult, as the breath is a very subtle object of attention. In this case, it is better to begin with a coarser object of meditation, such as the sensations of feelings arising at the feet.
There are many meditation objects that can transfer well from the sitting to the walking posture, for example the Four Divine Abidings: Loving-kindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy and Equanimity. As you pace back and forth develop the expansive thoughts based on loving-kindness, "May all beings be happy, may all beings be at peace, may all beings be free from all suffering". Use the walking posture as a complement to sitting; develop meditation on the same object but in a different posture and situation.
"Searching for Buddho" – Choosing a Mantra
If while doing walking meditation you find that you're getting drowsy, then you may need to activate the mind using a mantra, rather than calm it, so that it becomes more focussed and awake. Use a mantra like Buddho, repeating the word quietly to yourself over and over and over again. If the mind still wanders, then start saying Buddho very quickly, and walk up and down very fast. As you walk, recite Buddho, Buddho, Buddho. In this way, your mind can become very focussed very quickly.
When Tan Ajahn Mun, the famous forest meditation teacher, was among the hill tribes in North Thailand, they didn't know anything about meditation or meditation monks. However the hill tribe people are very inquisitive. When they saw him walking up and down on his path, they would follow him in a line. When he got to the end of the path and turned around, the whole village would be standing there!
They had noticed him walking back and forth with his eyes cast down and had assumed he was searching for something. They enquired, "What are you looking for, Venerable Sir? We can help you to find it." He skilfully replied, "I'm looking for Buddho, the Buddha in the heart. You can help me to find it by walking up and down on your own paths looking for the Buddha". And with this simple and beautiful instruction many of those villagers began meditating, and Tan Ajahn Mun said they obtained wonderful results.
Contemplations: Investigating the Way Things Are
Investigation of Dhamma (Dhammavicaya) is one of the Factors of Enlightenment, and this type of contemplation on the teachings and the laws of nature can be employed while walking up and down the meditation path. This doesn't mean that one just thinks or speculates over any old thing. Rather, it is constant reflection and contemplation of the Truth (Dhamma).
Investigating Change (Anicca). For example, one can contemplate Impermanence by observing the process of change, and seeing all things as subject to change. One develops the perception of the arising and passing away of experience. "Life" is a continual process of arising and passing away, and all conditioned experience is subject to this. By contemplation of this Truth, one sees the characteristics of existence. One sees that all things are subject to change. All things are not satisfactory. All things are not self. One can investigate these characteristics of nature on the walking meditation path.
Throughout the history of Buddhism, many monks and nuns have attained insight, wisdom and Enlightenment while on the walking meditation path, through the investigation of the Truth. In the Forest Monastic Tradition, every aspect of our life is treated as an opportunity for meditation. Meditation is not just for when seated on our meditation cushions. All the processes of life are opportunities for us to investigate reality. We strive to know things as they are, that things arise and pass away -- to understand reality as it actually is.
Recollecting our Generosity and Virtue The Buddha continually stressed the importance of generosity (It, 26) and virtue (SN V, 354). While on the walking path, one can develop the recollections of one's virtue or of one's generosity. Walk up and down and ask yourself, "Today, what acts of goodness have I done?"
A meditation teacher I stayed with named Tan Ajahn Gunhah, often used to comment that one reason meditators cannot get peaceful is because they haven't done enough goodness during the day. Goodness is a cushion for tranquillity, a base for peace. If we've done acts of kindness during the day – having said a kind word, done a good deed, been generous or compassionate -- then the mind will experience joy and rapture. Those acts of goodness, and the happiness they naturally bring, become the conditional factor for concentration and peace. The power of goodness and generosity leads to happiness, and it is that wholesome happiness which forms the foundation for concentration and wisdom.
The recollection of good deeds is a very good meditation subject when the mind is restless, agitated, angry, or frustrated. When the mind lacks peace, then recollect your past kind actions. This is not to try to build up one's ego, but it is actually a celebration of goodness and wholesomeness. Acts of goodness, virtue and generosity bring joy into the mind, and joy is a Factor of Enlightenment (SN, V, 68).
Recollect acts of generosity. Reflect on the benefits of giving. Recall one's virtue. Contemplate the purity of harmlessness, the purity of honesty, the purity of propriety in sexual relations, the purity of truthfulness, the purity of non-confusion of mind by avoiding intoxicants. All of these recollections can serve as meditation objects on the walking path.
Recollecting the Nature of the Body We can meditate on death and dying or on the non-beautiful nature of the body, on the Asubha contemplations – corpses in various stages of decay. We can visualise taking this body apart, just as a medical student would dissect a body. We "peel off" the skin and "see" what's underneath, -- the layers of the flesh, the sinews, the bones, the organs. We can mentally remove each one of the organs from the body so it can be investigated and understood. What's the body made of? What are its component parts? Is this me? Is it permanent? Is it worthy of being called a self?
The body is just an aspect of nature, like a tree or a cloud – no different. The fundamental problem is the attachment to the body; where the mind clings to the view that this body is my body, delights in my body, delights in other people's bodies. This is me. This is self. I own this.
We can challenge this attachment to the body through contemplation and investigation. We take up the object of the bones of this body. We visualise a bone as we are walking meditation, seeing it bleach, break up and return to the earth element. Bone is calcium and is absorbed into the body through the consumption of vegetable and animal matter; it comes from earth. Chemicals come together to form bone, and eventually that bone will return to earth. Calcium just goes back to calcium; there is no quality of my calcium or someone else's. Earth just goes back to earth; the element returns to its natural form. This is not me; this is not mine; this is not worthy of being called a self. We meditate on and break down a bone to its elements and return them back to the earth. We re-establish it again and break it down again, and we carry on this process continuously until clear insight arises.
If you are meditating on the body in this way and you haven't yet completely broken down the object of meditation into the four elements (earth, air, fire and water) and then re-constituted it, the work of the meditation is not yet finished. The mental exercise is not yet complete; the work is not done. Keep at it. Continue walking. Walk up and down and investigate until you are able to establish the perception in the mind of seeing the Asubha in the Subha – to see the non-beautiful, the non-delightful, and the non-attractive in what is assumed to be beautiful, delightful and attractive. We break this body down and turn it back to its natural elements, in order to see it as it really is.
The training of the mind to investigate nature leads to wisdom. By repeating these exercises of breaking the body down into its four elements – earth, air, fire and water – the mind sees and understands that this is not me, not mine, not self. It sees that the four elements that constitute this body are just aspects of nature. It is the mind that attaches to the view that the body is self. So we challenge that attachment; we don't accept it blindly, because it is that attachment which causes all our suffering.
Other contemplations Another meditation object the Buddha recommended was to reflect on peace, and the nature of peace (Vsm, 197). Yet another is to consider the qualities of Enlightenment. Alternatively one can walk up and down reflecting on the qualities of the Buddha, the qualities of the Dhamma, or the qualities of the Sangha. Or one can recollect heavenly beings, Devas, and the qualities needed to become a heavenly being (Vsm, III, 105).
A Few Words of Caution About Contemplation There are so many meditation objects in the Buddhist repertoire of meditation. Your meditation object should be chosen carefully. Select a meditation object that stimulates the mind when the mind needs stimulating, or pacifies the mind when the mind needs calming. But a few words of caution are needed when using these contemplations on the walking path so the mind doesn't go out into speculative thought and drift off. This is very easy to do. This is why we have to be very mindful and to note at the beginning of the path, the middle and the end of the path: "Am I really with my meditation object or am I thinking about something else?" If you are walking up and down on a meditation path for four hours, but there is only mindful awareness for one minute during that four hours, you have only meditated for one minute.
Remember it's not how much meditation we do, it's the quality of that meditation that counts. If while you are walking the mind is wandering off elsewhere, then you're not meditating. You're not meditating in the sense that the Buddha used the word meditation, as Bhavana or mental development (AN, III, 125 – 127). It's the quality of mind rather than the quantity of meditation that one does that is important.
In this discussion on walking meditation, I hope to have given you something that will extend your repertoire of meditation techniques. Walking meditation is something that you can use in your daily life when you are active, as well as when you are doing formal meditation. Walking meditation, can be another mode for developing the mind. Walking meditation gives work for the mind to do. If you have problems with drowsiness, don't just sit there nodding; get up and put the mind to work. This is Kammatthana – the fundamental work of the mind.
In the Forest Tradition whenever a meditation teacher goes to a monastery, among the first places he heads to are the monks' meditation paths, to see how many footprints are on them. And if those meditation paths are well worn, then that is considered a sign of a good monastery.
May your walking path be well worn.

There is no better time to be a Eugene Veggie member than today. Today, our kindly Discrawl ambassador offered Eugene Veggies free tickets to their upcoming vegan Dishcrawl. Yes, you read that right, free tickets - until attendance limit (as shown on the Dishcrawl site) is met.
For those people who are new to Eugene Veggies (or who forgot): Dishcrawl is a separate company that happens to do events in Eugene and is now trying out a vegan Dishcrawl. Here's how it works: everyone meets at a particular location (see above) and then after eating one course, walks to another restaurant for another course. And so on, "crawling" around to various local eateries and meeting a restaurant owner or chef or two. If you are new to plant-based eating, this is a fabulous opportunity to see how you can stay true to your diet and still enjoy a night (or three) on the town.
While Dishcrawl is not associated with Eugene Veggies, I think it is awesome that they are doing a vegan event. And since they are offering the Eugene Veggie members a free ticket, I think it is appropriate to set this up as a Eugene Veggie meetup event for those who are interested.
So, if you are interested:
1) RSVP 'yes' to this event.
2) Be sure to sign up on the Dishcrawl site itself, or it doesn't count. To sign up with Dishcrawl, go to:
3) Use the following code to get the free ticket: eugeneveggies (I know, it's so hard to remember)
If you have questions about the event, please direct them to our Dishcrawl embassador:
Rosalie Ruff
Eugene Dishcrawl Ambassador
[masked] Direct
Personal note from your organizer:
........On one hand, I love that Dishcrawl is doing a vegan event. I was so excited about it, I started to sign up weeks ago and had been happy to pay full price. But then I read the fine print. If you sign up, you agree to let Dishcrawl use your name and/or picture on their marketing materials, including social media such as Facebook. Dishcrawl provides no ability to opt out. I find such a requirement to be unacceptable. So, even though these tickets are free and even though I so want to support this idea, I will not personally be attending.
That said, if you attend, you will be supporting not only our local restaurants, but also letting a business know about the local interest in plant-based eating AND you will essentially have been paid for your use of your name and picture (assuming a free meal and a fun night covers it for you). So, there is no shame in going for those people who are interested. I just ask that if you sign up, PLEASE attend. It is important that Eugene Veggies be seen as a responsible group if we want to get other wonderful offers like this in the future.
so are you saying that because I signed up in advance and didn't see the part about the ticket that the restaurant won't let me in? You were going to ask.
