text: owlvamp, I have purchased charm squares from E-bay several times and have been happy with them. Most often they end up being from a place called Emerald City Fabrics. Sometimes it is a specific charm pack with 40 or so squares in it and other times the have been lots of 100 squares. Just read before you buy. Even with a standard charm pack of 40 or so squares that gets you almost 4 full sets to trade after you cut them into 2.5 inch squares. There are also some packs that are alreadh 2.5 inches. You should be able to find something you like. And remember, you don't have to have 15 sets to trade. 15 is the maximum.

Manu Vatuvei will come back into the Warriors' starting side on Sunday but, with a growing number of options on the wing, he is the first to admit he is facing serious competition for the first time in his career, and needs to perform.
The big winger picked up ankle and knee injuries in the first 20 minutes of the opening game of the season against the Eels and will come back into the side for Sunday's showdown with the unbeaten Rabbitohs.
During his layoff Glen Fisiiahi, Bill Tupou and Ngani Laumape all performed well but Warriors assistant coach Andrew McFadden confirmed Vatuvei will start on Sunday.
"Manu has the experience," he said. "He has the runs on the board so he's the one who gets the shot.
"Manu has earned that. He's a leader in our team and is very experienced. You know with Ngani it's not going to be his last chance if he doesn't play this weekend."
Laumape could start beside Vatuvei at left centre, with Dane Nielsen struggling with a painful rib cartilage injury. Nielsen didn't train today, with Laumape running in his place, and is rated by McFadden as a 50-50 proposition.
It would be a tough ask on Laumape, with the likes of Sam and George Burgess running on the edges, not to mention fullback Greg Inglis and Ben Te'o, but the 19-year-old has been impressive in his two matches so far and has played centre for the Junior Kiwis.
Utility Ben Henry might have been an option but hasn't recovered from a head knock picked up late in the important 20-18 win over the Cowboys and Jerome Ropati is still working his way back from another serious knee injury and is expected to turn out for the Vulcans.
The news is better for fullback Kevin Locke, who also suffered concussion on Monday but is expected to be cleared to play. But prop Jacob Lillyman is doubtful with an ankle injury, which could see Russell Packer, who has been absent with a bicep injury, rushed back into the playing 17.
It is looming as a big year for Vatuvei, who is off contract at the end of the season. He is in talks with the club about a new deal but is also exploring his options to see what else is out there.
The 27-year-old has been a feature of the Warriors since his debut against Souths in 2004 and, at his best, is almost unstoppable. He is the club's record try scorer with 102 in 153 games and has also played 20 tests for the Kiwis.
But he has increasingly struggled with injuries and has had his troubles on defence. Last season he also coughed up 38 errors - the third-most in the NRL - and was left out of the Kiwis for their end-of-year test with Australia on form.
"It puts a lot of pressure on me to keep my spot in the team," Vatuvei said. "I know Ngani, Bill and Fish have done an awesome job. It makes me train even harder and I wanted to come back harder.
"I have missed being in the side and playing with the boys. It's an opportunity for me to go out and play my best.
"I feel like the old man, especially with all the niggles I have every week, but it's something that goes with the sport."

Fisker Loses 320 Karmas to Hurricane Sandy

Sixteen were destroyed by a fire while the rest had flood damage
As a result of Hurricane Sandy,
Fisker Automotive
lost 320 Karmas to either flooding or fires on the east coast.
According to Roger Ormisher, a Fisker spokesperson, 320 Karmas parked on a New Jersey port were destroyed during Hurricane Sandy last week. This meant a $32 million loss for the company.
Of the 320 Karmas, one had a short circuit that caught fire and due to high winds, 15 other Karmas caught fire as well. The rest of the Fisker plug-ins parked along the port were damaged by floodwaters.
These Karmas were shipped from Finland and destined for U.S. dealers. Ormisher said there may be a temporary shortage of certain color or trim options for the Karma, and that he doubts this loss will impact the price of the Karma in the U.S.
This year has been quite a rollercoaster ride for Fisker. The automaker had two incidents where Karma vehicles
caught fire
while in the possession of a customer. One occurred in May 2012, when a Karma plug-in was responsible for a house fire in Houston, and the second occurred in August 2012, where a
Karma parked in a Woodside, California
grocery store parking lot had went up in flames.
Before that, A123 Systems, the battery maker for Fisker's Karma, had
recalled over 200 batteries for the Karma
. However, Fisker said the
battery wasn't the issue
in the two fires this year.
Just last month,
Consumer Reports
flunked the Karma
for its design and execution, saying that the vehicle has a cramped interior, limited visibility, awkward access and poorly-designed dashboard controls.

That first test is along the lines of what uptime should be like. I can't really explain the second other than you might possibly have some of the worst luck in the game. I guess wait for more logs to come in from raids tonight?

Anyways, it's late and I got Birthday shit to do tomorrow >_>; Will do testing again on Thursday, but I'll also have logs for tomorrow's raid late at night (Despite being my birthday, I still want to show up for half of the raid Should have logs for H Jin'rohk, N Jin (If we fail at heroic), Horridon, and Council. Depending on time, we may also get Tortos and Megaera.
http://www.worldoflogs.com/guilds/2444/ is my guild's log calendar, and the raid log should pop up tomorrow night (roughly 24-25 hours from this post) if anyone wants quicker posts. I most likely'll forget to copy/paste the URL tomorrow night, so it'll be up by Thursday at the latest.

Some LFR logs tonight for the meta. http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-anbw7d8a05w62vih/

We aren't done raiding yet, but so far tonight I've had 21.0 % uptime on Council, and 16.6 % on Tortos (both heroic). So, the uptime is definitely much better than it was. I wasn't over 10% on anything Sunday/Monday.
Well I can only assume the hotfix never made it to EU servers because all of the Mages I know have had a continued 25% uptime on the Gem until yesterday. I've gone over logs from Monday nights Raids and they are ranging from 18% to 36% with an average of 25-26.

I have a stock 2011 1500 Imperial Blue Hood, Chrome Grille and stock intake for the 5.3L that all came off my 2011 last December when I swapped my HD Hood, Grille and K&N onto my new truck. These parts were on the truck for less than 10 days (got it 11/29 and got it back from the body shop on 12/8). I really do not wanna ship and would like to do this within New England. But could ship the grille and intake as I have them in boxes but not the hood. Would like to get 300 for the hood, 100 for the grille and 50 for the intake. This is a pic of the exact hood and grille before it came off my truck.

Audit shows former state crime lab supervisor biased in favor of prosecutors
Employee says Cynthia Burbach lied in some DUI cases
DENVER - Thousands of drunk-driving cases could be impacted after an internal investigation found that the supervisor of the state's crime lab was biased in favor of the prosecution and may have lied about cases.
The report also shows that toxicology lab analysts feel they are not properly trained to provide expert testimony in court.
The audit of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment was completed in March, but only recently released to the public.
The report provides testimony from eight employees in the state's crime lab who say that supervisor Cynthia Burbach, who resigned last week after holding the position more than a decade, was biased toward prosecutors in DUI cases.
"She has talked about a few opinion letters she has written in cases where she did not think the defendant was guilty," the report quotes one employee as saying about Burbach, "but overall I feel like she wants defendants to be convicted because she thinks they are guilty."
Another employee told investigators, "She seems to feed off DAs getting guilty verdicts. But we're not part of the judicial system. The scientists and I don't feel like we should concern ourselves with the outcomes of trials."
A third employee said that after a Jefferson County judge dismissed charges against a defendant, Burbach "yelled down the hallway at the defendant and said something like, 'They'll get you next time,' or, 'You'll be back again.' I thought it was very inappropriate."
The audit also shows that lab employees "perceive that blood alcohol training protocols for toxicology lab analysts are inadequate" and that "they are not adequately trained to provide fact or expert testimony in court."
"This is significant for all Coloradans regardless of whether they've been charged with a criminal case or not," said Colorado Springs attorney Tim Bussey. "Because it goes to the fundamental fairness of the criminal justice system."
The Colorado Attorney General's Office released the report late Friday to the governor's office and all county district attorneys in Colorado. That was 12 weeks after the audit was finished.
Department of Public Health and Environment Executive Director Chris Urbina said the report was considered a confidential personnel matter at first, but he said action was taken immediately.
"We immediately assessed everybody's training and competency," Urbina said. "So now everybody is either trained or in the process of getting trained."
As for Burbach, Urbina said: "We removed that supervisor from any testimony in court so there would be no future concerns about that person."
TARGET 13 asked how Burbach was able to keep her job until she retired on May 31.
"Because we handled the allegations by removing the bias," he said. "And remember, I can't make a decision about bias. These are subjective concerns and allegations."
Pueblo County DA Jeff Chostner told TARGET 13 that he would be looking at all the cases Burbach testified in in Pueblo, noting that since he took over as DA in January, his office has not used Burbach as a witness.
"Obviously, there's concern that there's been wrongdoing and inappropriate action in the lab," Chostner said. "We want to make sure justice is done and make sure evidence was not manufactured or tainted because of incompetence or bias."
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office still uses the state lab and said it has no plans to stop.
In a statement Monday to TARGET 13, EPCSO said, "We are confident in the integrity of our DUI blood samples processed by the CDPHE and the Defense has the option to have the blood samples tested by an independent lab if they choose."
Colorado Springs Police had already stopped using the state lab and now does tests at a private lab in Boulder.
Last year, 1,700 DUI blood tests had to be re-tested after an employee failed to follow proper testing protocols. The employee has blamed Burbach, saying she was responsible for reviewing his work.

Why stop there? Who needs Barden and Randle when we can just grab up a couple of high school players? They'll play for free and then we'll have even more money to sign some OL!
Why stop there? Who needs Barden and Randle when we can just grab up a couple of high school players? They'll play for free and then we'll have even more money to sign some OL!
I wanted Barden to work out, but it takes him longer to get into a route, and with our line Eli can't wait for him. His height is his only plus. We'll see more of Randle, before Barden. He showed some nice potential in his time. Even Hixon, IMO, is better than Barden. But, I think We'd be in deep trouble if Barden and Randle were our best receivers.

I can see going the route that I think OP is aiming at but I don't agree with it. Nicks and Cruz are guys that came up big in our SuperBowl run and when both on our the field, we are deadly. I think we can draft to the O line and maybe make some moves to strengthen up. This team is not in rebuilding mode but in a how can we win now mode. There are some deficiencies but I think they are reparable without getting too extreme and having to discard young talent that is integral to this teams success.
But he's not a god with unlimited physical resources within himself. I would love to have an OL that can actually protect the passer, so Eli can apply that Jedi Master quality towards getting through his progressions and delivering the ball right where it needs to be, instead of getting picked off all the damn time. If he can apply his will towards that, then the receiver has no choice but to come down with the ball, like we saw with Manningham in that XLVI pass. Sure it doesn't get you those spectacular 99 yarders, but it does give you guaranteed first downs and guaranteed points...

Most people who have a total abdominal colectomy recover fully. They are able to do most of the activities they were doing before their surgery. This includes most sports, travel, gardening, hiking, and other outdoor activities, and most types of work.

That a 300aac blackout or whatever? That'd be cool. M85 in 300
Had to try removing the pesky nub.Wasn't too bad. Ground a bit and faced off the nub and the same .015 off the bolt face.That left the extractor a little sloppy so I Mig'd it a touch and reshaped with dremel and file.
It's only metal, it's not magic.
That a 300aac blackout or whatever? That'd be cool. M85 in 300
Interesting... why did you need to change it for blackout?
These M85 kits have a unexplained .012/.015 "nub" a bit larger in diameter than the primer
sticking up in the middle of the bolt face.It screws up the brass when fired.I didn't want
that happening for this 300 barreled kit.
New M85 beats up the brass bad - Page 2 - The AK Files Forums
It's only metal, it's not magic.
hmmm I dont weld on bolts but intesting that you also milled the end of thebolt as well as the face.
I mill or turn the bevel seen on some bolts onthe endside of the bolt face as some of them keep the round fromn seatin ont the face completly. wish you had a before picture .
once I get the 6mm br done Ill be looking a 30 dasher that is a 30 BR blown forward for even more capacity it will likley have about 5 grains more capaicty thent hr 300 BO.
Im not really sure what your gaining with a a 300 BO on a AK as it is just slightly under the 7.62x39????? I suspose having a common ammo that shoots well in bioth guns might be a reason.
I'll get a pic of the offending nub today before I skim this other bolt.No welding on the bolt,just the extractor.I wanted this one for suppressor use.
After removed .012

That is odd. the radius to the sides is nice an
tight. I have seen were the edge of the bolt face would be hold up the round up. On my target stuff i face the face true to the bore.
fyi be careful about putting a loaded round in that bolt. The firing pin sticks out the back a little.
Matt -- what a nice touch.
Did similar to several bolts some years back -- can't now remember why. Some caliber manipulation lost to time and crs. My mig work on the extractor was like working down a clump of bubble gum.
Nice work.

I'll admit that my first reaction on finding out the cars I would be testing out for review were Kias, and that one of them was the Rio, a compact car, was not excitement. I've pretty much exclusively driven vehicles from Japanese companies since I first got my license 20-something years ago, and the few Korean cars I'd driven hadn't impressed me much. I'm also a fairly tall and not-exactly-slender person, so driving a compact car was never something I'd given much consideration to.
The first car I tried out was the 2012 Kia Rio (four-door hatchback, automatic transmission). It's billed as a compact car, and it definitely looks the part from the outside. But there's almost a TARDIS effect going on, because inside the car it feels, well, comfortable. I didn't feel like I was going to bump my nose with my kneecap, and my passengers expressed their happy surprise at how much legroom they had, too. Granted, when an adult rode in the back instead of my kids, he found it a bit tight, but that frequently happens in much larger cars than the Rio. The trunk, too, fit a great deal more than I had any expectation it would.

Friendly staff that would just allow you to play and browse at a whim. Will check out this place again when I have some real cash to lay down."
"These guys are AMAZING!!! Every single employee is friendly, intelligent, and phenomenal musicians in their own right. I recently purchased a high end ukulele from Sylvan Music.

If you're looking for a new instrument or need a setup done, you MUST go to Sylvan Music. They are the best!!! All-star crew of employees!!! Ask for Albert, Mike, Alex, McCoy, or Alan and you are in great hands!!!!!"

"This store is breathtaking. You walk in and you see a lot of great gear and kind store staff right off the hop. String selection is fantastic. I was amazed at the ukulele classical guitar room.

Some really fantastic small shop boutique guitars in the second room towards the back. There's a smaller room from here where you can find some amazing electric guitars, and a smaller vintage acoustic room (my fave) with old electrics, Martin, Gibson, Mandolins, Banjos and ukes.

N.C. has record season in sea turtle nests
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - North Carolina wildlife officials say it's been a record year for loggerhead sea turtle nests, and the season isn't over yet.
The Daily News of Jacksonville reports that 1,211 of the nests have been documented along North Carolina's beaches. More than 50 nests of other species of sea turtles have also been observed.
Matthew Godfrey of the North Carolina Sea Turtle Project says it's the highest number seen in a single season since standardized monitoring began statewide in the mid-1990s.
But he says he doesn't know why the numbers are high - whether it's a blip or a long-term gain.
Godfrey says that's why ongoing monitoring is important.
As the season closes, hatchlings are emerging from their nests and making a dash to the ocean.

Kevin Grandia | October 11, 2012
By Kevin Grandia • Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 15:16
Here's a rule of thumb: if something is so toxic that birds die when they land on it, it's probably a good idea to put a cover on it.
In Texas yesterday, a federal district court upheld a criminal conviction against the oil refinery giant Citgo Petroleum after migratory birds landed in two open-top refinery tanks and died. Under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules and Texas law such tanks are supposed to be covered. The court found that the company had known birds were landing and dying in their tanks but failed to do anything about it.
Citgo faces some $2 million in fines. A too small price to pay I think for their negligent behavior.
In Canada's tar sands, similar cases of migratory bird deaths have been ruled very differently. Many will remember the story in 2008 when 1600 ducks landed on the massive lakes of tar sands toxic by-products and died.
Here's a news report at the time of the deaths:
Syncrude, the tar sands giant responsible for the deaths, was ordered to pay $3m in fines.
But the deaths continued again in 2010 when more than 500 ducks caught in a winter storm sought refuge on what they thought were fresh water ponds. Those "ponds" turned out to be toxic lakes of sludge courtesy of Syncrude and Suncor. The ducks, covered in oily sludge, had to be put down.
In early October this year the Alberta government announced there will be no charges laid against Syncrude or Suncor because it was the winter storm that caused the ducks to land and there was nothing the companies could have done to prevent the deaths.
Unlike Citgo, whose relatively small oil refinery tanks can easily be covered with nets, the toxic lakes in Northern Alberta that store all of the sludgy byproducts of tar sands operations are so large they can be seen from space and thus impossible to cover and protect from birds.
So this tragedy has no end. As tar sands production increases, the size of these toxic lakes will increase and the birds that have flown this same migratory path for millions of years will continue to die.

From the tar sands to Cancer Alley
Migratory birds get the most unpleasant welcome from oil and gas operations.
Its also important to remember....
Everyone should pay attention to Syncrude's legal defence. They claimed that there is no way to prevent the the birds from landing on the ponds, so… why bother.
Yup, they have stated there is no way to prevent the birds from dieing on their ponds.
geometric hyperbole
I really appreciate the facts and details you are conveying. I also appreciate the difficulty in trying to convey the enourmous footprint of the oil extraction underway in Northern Alberta.
I do not, however, think much good comes from asserting that operations are "so large they can be seen from space". The amibugity of this is renders the statement unimpressive to a reader with a scientific background. Are you claiming it is visible using the naked eye from low earth orbit? Or claiming it can spotted using google earth? The former would be astounding but still not really help convey the size in a tangible way. The latter would convey nothing at all. More probably you mean something between the two - but it is a huge range!
In any case, I take your point that they are big enough to have a horrendous effect on all sorts of wildlife and Suncor/Syncrude are being douchebags about it.
Yes. Visible from space.
Here's a single tailings pond visible from space. (Looks like a view out of a window.)
This is how NASA sees that location;

Embarrased Canadian
It is embarrasing that as a well developed country Canada is still allwoing such environmental damage to take place. The Canadian environmental law needs to be held accountable. The Alberta tar sands and all of their side effects such as these tailing ponds should not be allowed to happen in Canada. Are we allowing such environmental degredation to take place because it is so profitable or because it is so far north that it is 'out of sight, out of mind' or the average Canadian? There needs to be more education and relization from the Canadian people about just how horrific this project is. I am embarrased as a Canadian that we spend our time boasting of our great country, being proud when we travel abroad, looking down on other countrie because they do not have free health care, yet in our own back yard we willing let an area greater than the size of florida be destroyed.
Worse than that...
The current federal budget has gutted key environmental regulations. The National Fisheries Act comes to mind.
Harper did this in the name of speeding environment reviews (an idea I support). However in the guise of that notion he's gutted legislation that protects our environment, appearently at the request of Enbridge.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
For teens ages 13-17
Goal: To teach about Jesus' concern for our health and how he showed his love through acts of healing; To show them how we can express our love for others through our concern for their health; To help them see "others" and "ourselves" as individuals, but also as participants in community; To demonstrate that our concerns should be the basis for taking responsible action.
Supplies needed: Members of your youth group will test their knowledge of the health care issue and enact the story of the "Good Samaritan"
- narrator (TV reporter)- "microphone" and head-set
All Teachers: As a group, identify some of the specific "health needs" of children/youth in your community – needs that are not being met. Consider immunization problems, children/youth who are not receiving care because their parents have no insurance, mothers who receive inadequate pre-natal care (teen mothers), etc. You may wish to speak with your community hospital, pediatricians, homeless shelters, schools, community health department to learn more about the problems in your area. What "ministries" are churches in your community supporting to meet these needs? What legislation/policy changes have been proposed in your city/state? Is there a specific action/project your classes could support with time or money?
Part I (Opening) 5 minutes
Tell the class what is happening at their church. The whole church is celebrating Health Care Sabbath – a time for prayer, study and action. Why is our health care system a critical concern for the church?
Health care involves issues of justice, equity, community, responsibility and quality of life, -- issues that are really ethical in nature. It is particularly important that the religious community struggle with and speak to such issues.
Reform proposals are being introduced in state legislatures and the U.S. Congress that will affect the way medical care is delivered and paid for in this country. The decisions that are made will impact many, particularly children. There are various forces attempting to control the outcome of these political debates. Most bring a narrow, vested (selfish) interest to the process. It is the religious community, however, speaking from a faith perspective, speaking to the ethical issues, that must raise the arguments for compassion and social justice.
Part II (a Prayer – to be read in unison, or by the leader)
O God, source of all health:
Part III (Lesson from the Bible) 10 minutes
Today's study will center on the Parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel according to Luke. (Distribute copies of the biblical text to the class)
Talk to your class briefly about "Luke".
You may wish to share some information from a Bible commentary.
Although some may argue that the evidence is inconclusive, tradition suggests that Luke was a physician, a gentile and a companion of Paul. Because he was writing for gentiles, people unfamiliar with many of the Jewish traditions – people like us, Luke is the easiest of the gospels to read. Luke seems particularly interested in Jesus's concern for the oppressed, the poor and the sick. Many of the stories that appear in Luke are also told in the other Gospels, but this story is not.
Read Luke 10:25-29 or tell the story of the "lawyer's" question. Your emphasis should be on the statement "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." and on the question "WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?" (NRSV). Discuss the meaning of "neighbor". It is easiest to "love the people we already know and like. But, does Jesus want us to love people we don't know, people who are different, people who need something … how does he mean for us to show this "love"? The answers to these questions are in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. To help us understand the story, we will enact it, placing the events in a more familiar context -- one of today.
Ask for volunteers from your class to play the various roles in the story. Give each a copy of their character's profile and the parable. Be sure you include both male and female characters -- this is a modern play! There is no script, the narrator will lead the action, imitating the story told in the scripture and interviewing the characters to illicit their response.
You will need to allow time for the "players" to don their costumes and rehearse their action. While they prepare, you should lead the class through the next section: "Check your knowledge".
Part IV (Questions about health care in the U.S. – "Check your knowledge") 10 minutes
Challenge the class to test their knowledge (and prejudices) concerning the current health care system using the questionnaire. The questions should be presented for discussion and response. The purpose of this "test" is simply to focus attention on the facts about health care. Choose those questions that will be of the greatest interest to your age-level group. You may wish to work in small groups, tackling a few questions in each. If so, consider rewriting the questions on index cards with a question on one side and the answer on the reverse.
Part V (The Play) 10 minutes
Jesus answers the lawyer's question with a story. Ask your students to enact the parable.
When the story was finished, Jesus asked "WHICH OF THESE THREE, DO YOU THINK, WAS A NEIGHBOR TO THE MAN WHO FELL INTO THE HANDS OF THE ROBBERS?" Using the "voting" method, ask the class to answer the question. Prompt the "pastor", "church worker" and the "stranger" (still in character) to step forward as the class votes on the question.
Part VI (Responding to the story) 15 minutes
Tell them how the lawyer answered and how Jesus responded: "HE SAID, 'THE ONE WHO SHOWED HIM MERCY.' JESUS SAID TO HIM, 'GO AND DO LIKEWISE.'"
The answer to the question seems fairly obvious to us. But, the command to "go and do likewise" is neither simply nor easy. To understand ourselves and some of the excuses we give for ignoring the needs of others, let's investigate the responses of the characters in our play. (Use the "voting" method to elicit class response.)
Consider the "traveler"
He knew the section of town he was traveling through was very dangerous, but he took no precautions. He brought the attack on himself, by his irresponsible attitude. He was probably a little embarrassed that he had become so vulnerable.
Questions: Must we help someone who has brought his trouble on himself? VOTE
Jesus instructs us to help, even when the trouble is brought on by the individual's own actions or inaction.
Consider the "minister"
S/he was too concerned with duties to the congregation to stop and help the injured traveler. It wasn't her/his responsibility. S/he would not compromise those tasks entrusted by the church. S/he felt sorry for the traveler, but also felt it wasn't her/his job to help. The church's ceremonial tasks were more important than showing charity to a stranger.
Questions: Do you think a minister's main function is to perform the sacramental and liturgical services with a church? VOTE
Consider the "church person"
Questions: Do you sometimes avoid acting because you fear you might fail? VOTE
Jesus teaches us that the help we give must be practical, and does not consist of merely feeling sorry.
Consider the "stranger"
Questions: Do you think the stranger's "feelings": toward the traveler were more significant than the feelings of the pastor? church person? VOTE
The lawyer describes the one who helped as a "neighbor". What does it mean to be a "good neighbor"? to whom are we called to be a neighbor?
Jesus tells us that anyone in need is our "neighbor."
Finally, Jesus tells us to "do likewise". Are there "injured neighbors" that we have ignored? What can we do to help? Ask your class for their suggestions. Is there a "ministry" you can support? What action can your class take to help assure that everyone in this country has access to the health care they need?
Players' Notes:
The Scene: An abandoned, dimly lit street in BigCity, USA. A dangerous place at this time of night, this area is known to be frequented by muggers and thieves.
Narrator: "microphone" and head-set
The narrator has the responsibility of making sure the story is told. By interviewing the various characters as they appear on the scene, s/he helps the audience understand what the various personalities are thinking and where they are going. This character is a TV reporter, not a commentator. Try to stick to the facts. Use questions to pull the story out of the characters, but let the audience draw the conclusions.
Be sure you read the descriptions of the other characters before the performance begins. You questions should help to reveal this information. For example: Describe the part of town you are in. then ask the traveler what s/he is doing there. What's in the bag? -- looks like it might be valuable?
Traveler: a shopping bag, backpack
The traveler in Luke's story is just an average person, someone with whom we can identify. Her/his actions, however, are reckless and foolhardy. Traveling the road from Jerusalem to Jericho alone would be as dangerous as walking a dimly lit street in some abandoned are of BigCity, USA.
You know this section of town is very dangerous, but you've taken no precautions. Your attitude is reckless, irresponsible. You are on your way to a friend's house for a party; perhaps a gift is in your bag. It's late; you should have left earlier. In fact, you intended to, but you got involved with "something" and suddenly it was dark. You know the way – "almost". You are very independent, not the type that would ask for directions. After you are mugged, you become less trusting of strangers, but you're desperate for the assistance of anyone who will help. You're thankful, finally, for your rescue.
Priest (Reverend L.O.Quint): clerical robe, cleric's collar
Priests served in the temples, performing rituals and conducting sacrificial services. Members of a prestigious class, they were expected to maintain a "holiness" in the temple and personally. Because Priests could officiate only when ritually pure, they would not risk contact with the dead.
You are a very important minister, well known for your eloquent preaching skills. You are frequently invited to preach or lead a prayer at special gatherings. Your picture has appeared in the newspaper several times. This evening, you are on your way to your church where you will be preaching for a special service. You and the other members of your staff have been preparing for this service for the past month. It is the first service of the Lenten season, Holy Communion is planned. Your staff gave you a "heads up" that the mayor, a local business tycoon – big contributor, and your Bishop are expected to be in attendance. Your focus is on your sermon for this evening; not on the circumstances and pain of the "traveler". No doubt, you will mention the "plight of our streets" in your sermon tonight, asking your congregation to show compassion for those injured.
Robber: face concealed, a club or "gun"
The road between Jerusalem and Jericho was notoriously dangerous. Travelers anticipated an encounter with a band of robbers and prepared for it by traveling in caravans.
You are important to the action of the story, but not a part of the lesson. Your goal is to create the injury to which others must respond. You are a modern day mugger. You beat your victim – first, when s/he resists giving you the "goods" and second, to deter her/him from pursuing you.
Levite (a church worker – Brother/Sister DoGooder): wearing a big cross
Levites were members of the Temple staff. Although their function was to sacrifice and administer the law, they were not held in as high esteem as the priest.
You chair an important committee in your church -- perhaps the trustees. You are on your way to the worship service where Rev. L.O. Quint will preach. You are active in the life of your church and consider yourself to be a "good" person. Encountering the injured traveler raises contradictory feelings for you; you wish to help, but you feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable –what can YOU do? It's late, you need to get on to the service. You rationalize: "There are people who are supposed to take care of these things". You avoid responding to the needs of this individual and center on the broader issue of "unsafe streets". How terrible it is that the streets are so dangerous. This horrible mugging has been perpetrated just down the road from your church. It could have happened to a church member. Perhaps, your church building is vulnerable. You must bring this to the attention of you committee at the next meeting. Where are the people who are supposed to be protecting our streets? Who is committing these crimes? A study of these must be done!
Samaritan (a stranger): old torn clothes, shopping cart
For centuries there was a mutual hatred and distrust between Jews and Samaritans. Samaritans were regarded as foreigners. The name was also used to describe a man who was a heretic, someone who had broken ceremonial law. The term "good Samaritan" would have been thought a contradiction in terms. A Jewish traveler would have found it at least awkward to have been aided (and indebted to) a Samaritan.
You are homeless person with schizophrenia. You are well-educated and communicate effectively. Sometimes you are disoriented with respect to your environment, but not always. Few of the people you encounter understand you or your illness. Some are embarrassed or frightened of you. You are not dangerous or less human; you are simply different, struggling with a brain disease. Because of the stigma of being homeless/mentally ill, your audience will respond to you as a possible threat to the "traveler" until they see you intend to help.
You are familiar with big city and the danger. You understand the vulnerability of the traveler and feel compassion. There is a medical clinic in the area – most people know about it. The "voices" you hear, the ones that sometimes invade your world, have on more than one occasion driven you to that place for shelter. You know the people there to be understanding and compassionate. This evening, you are on your way to a worship service at a nearby church. You understand that a very important preacher will be there tonight. You hope that this person can help you find "God" -- can help you restore a relationship you fear you might have lost.
Innkeeper (clinic doctor): white coat, stethoscope
After the Samaritan treats the traveler's wounds, he is placed in the care of the innkeeper who is compensated for his actions.
There is a trusting relationship between the doctor and the stranger. It is because of this relationship, not just the nature of the traveler's injury, that you are motivated to accept this person as a patient and care for him/her. You are aware that this case could have been referred to the community hospital, surmising that this young person lacks the insurance or finances to pay for your medical services. You make a decision that the services you render to the traveler have been "paid for" by the friendship shared between you and the stranger. You assure the stranger that the traveler's injuries are being treated and encourage your "friend" to continue with his/her plans for the evening.

Posted by James McQuivey on the CMOs Blog on April 8, 2013
Monday's The New York Times offers a defense of authors' rights from bestselling author and head of the Authors Guild, Scott Turow. In the piece, Turow interprets a Supreme Court decision that allows the importation of books purchased abroad for resell in the US, making it seem like all of Western culture would henceforth be at risk. Later the same day, I read a brief statement from News Corp in which the company threatened to make the FOX broadcast network a premium pay channel in order to get its just compensation for its creative works ahead of the likely decision that Aereo is not illegally capturing and restreaming broadcast content.
These individuals and organizations have the right to do what they feel they must as they pass through the phase known as denial. But may I offer this one small suggestion to help them through the stages of grief yet to come: Stop pretending that the foe you face won't eventually win because it will. That goes for all of you. Digital disruption will eliminate your structural advantages someday, too.
We've been through this before, dating back to the first time the music industry sued someone to prevent the future. No, it wasn't Napster or the users of BitTorrent in the 2000s. It was actually Diamond Multimedia, makers of the new PMP300 MP3 players, and the year was 1998. The argument then was the same as it is today: We, the people who currently benefit from an artificial monopoly in either the creation or distribution of value, don't want that monopoly to end.

Transform a package of ground beef into a mouthwatering meal packed with flavor. The results are budget friendly and oh so delicious.
The Cheeseburger SaladClassic burger elements become a fast, fun salad--a deconstructed take on a diner favorite.
Cowboy-Style Beef and Vegetable RagoutThink of this savory meat sauce as a cross between beef stew and sloppy joe filling. The addition of cauliflower to traditional polenta lightens the recipe. To add more vegetables to this ragout, add carrots and parsnips during the fall.
Sheet Pan Beef and Black Bean NachosLoad up the nachos on a baking sheet, then bring straight to the table for easy serving and a great presentation.
Sirloin and Parmesan Meat Loaf
For even shaping, use a loaf pan as a mold to shape the meat loaf; then invert onto the baking sheet.
Cincinnati ChiliWe add a little ground chuck to the beef mixture for extra richness.
Slow Cooker Beef-and-Sweet Potato ChiliLeaving the peels on the sweet potatoes has three benefits: Prep is faster, you add more fiber, and the potatoes hold their shape better after the 7-hour simmer. Besides, the peels get so tender that you barely notice they're there. You don't need to fully cook the ground beef before it goes into the slow cooker; just cook it enough to "set" the shape of the crumbles.
Spiced Beef Tostadas with Cilantro-Lime RiceThese tostadas are inspired by classic taco night toppers and sides. Our version amps up the spice while keeping sodium numbers in check.
Classic Bacon Cheeseburger SlidersThough we usually shy away from processed foods, we do love American cheese here for that old-school burger joint flavor.
Cheeseburger PizzaOur take on this guaranteed family favorite saves more than 200 calories, 16 grams of fat, and nearly 670 milligrams of sodium over the leading fast-food cheeseburger pizza.
Quinoa Bibimbop BowlsBibimbop is a Korean dish that means "mixed rice." For this version, we took a hearty grain like quinoa and served it with crunchy vegetables and a fried egg. Let the family build their own bowls, so this way, everyone's happy.
Meatball and Ziti BakeWhole-wheat pasta holds up well in this cheesy, saucy pasta bake.
Parmesan Polenta with Quick RagùPolenta is a great option when you crave Italian comfort food but have pasta fatigue.
Quick Taco SaladThis easy mexican taco salad will become your go-to weekday recipe to please the whole family. Rated 5 stars by our users, this flavorful salad is fast, easy, and so delicious.
Ground Beef and Pasta CasseroleBetter break out the big pot for this beefy pasta casserole, it makes plenty to share or for delicious lunch leftovers tomorrow.
Slow-Cooker Bolognese Sauce over Pappardelle Pasta
Traditionally, Bolognese sauce requires hours of babysitting as it simmers on the stove, but our recipe is virtually hands-off.
Greek Baked Ziti
Inspired by the classic Greek comfort dish known as pastitsio, this pasta casserole uses fresh and flavorful ingredients.
Calzones with Italian Tomato SauceMake your own portable dinner pockets by stuffing refrigerated pizza crust with ground beef, cheese, spinach, tomato and Italian seasonings. This meaty pizza-inspired favorite is great for on-the-go meals, or a fun family night in.
Beef, Cheese, and Noodle BakeTrick the picky "noodles only" eaters at the table with this macaroni and cheese casserole. It's packed with lean sirloin, shredded veggies, and lots of calcium–each serving has 200 milligrams. Serve with a green veggie or side salad.
Chorizo-Beef NachosBeef up a traditional Mexican-inspired appetizer recipe by adding protein-packed black beans, fresh herbs, melty cheese, and lean ground beef. Make dinner time a party by serving the nachos on a large platter, or let everyone make their own stackers.
Chili-Topped PotatoesServe Mexican-style chili, flavored with dry Ranch dressing mix, on a cooked baked potato. Microwave the potatoes to save time and you'll have this dish on the table in about 20 minutes.
Mini-CheeseburgersWhether you're planning a party or just a festive night in, make mini-cheeseburgers using ground beef, party rolls, and slices of American cheese, cut into quarters. Serve with a side of baby carrots for a scaled-down meal that's fun to eat.
All-In-One SpaghettiMake clean-up a snap by serving a one-pot spaghetti dish. The liquid from the sauce cooks the pasta in the Dutch oven, infusing the noodles with the flavor of dried oregano and chili powder. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a slice of garlic bread.
French Market Meat LoafMeatloaf has long been a dinner table favorite. Shelve your go-to recipe and try a new one packed with dried herbs and topped with smooth tomato gravy. Diced Cajun sausage links add extra meat to the loaf, along with a vibrant punch of flavor.
Richard's Sloppy JoesServe a grown-up version of the kid-friendly favorite. This meaty sandwich gets its mild heat from Worcestershire and the liquid from pickled jalapeños. If you're serving younger palates, reduce or omit the juice and stick with the more traditional version. Toast hamburger buns before adding the meat mixture, and serve with a side of potato wedges or a green salad.
Stuffed PeppersBulk up the popular side dish, traditionally stuffed with rice, by adding ground sirloin to the hollowed red pepper. Use boil-in-a-bag rice to save preparation time, then cook for about 20 minutes for a dish that's a meal in itself.
Meatballs and PeppersNothing beats homemade meatballs, so pick a recipe that keeps the number of ingredients low and the flavor content high. Serve with a bell pepper stir fry over mashed potatoes to absorb all the juices.
Hamburger SteakServe skillet hamburger steaks like grandma used to make. Worcestershire and dry mustard add a sharp bite to the ground chuck, while lightly sautéed onion and bell pepper add crisp texture. Plate with instant mashed potatoes and a fresh veggie for a home-style meal that's ready in less than 30 minutes.
Mediterranean BurgersGreek meets the grill in this recipe that's perfect for summer. Add feta and fresh herbs to the ground beef for a savory kick, and when you're ready to serve on a toasted Kaiser roll, slather on a layer of olive spread made with kalamatas, lemon, and dill. For toppings, we recommend lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.
Lean Green Lettuce TacosReady in less than 30 minutes, these tacos are lighter version their corn or flour cousins. Layer a mixture of ground beef, zucchini, yellow squash, cilantro, lime, and tomatoes with the toppings of your choice. Instead of Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, try queso fresco, a crumbly, mild Mexican cheese for an authentic touch. You can often find this cheese at larger grocery stores.
Thai-Style Ground BeefTransport yourself to Southeast Asia with this Thai-inspired one-pot dish. Simmer ground beef in a sauce made from Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, coconut milk, and fresh lime juice. Serve in lettuce leaves for a cool addition to the spicy beef, and add a side of rice and tropical fruit to round out the meal.
Shepherd's Pie with Potato CrustInstead of mashed potatoes, use thinly sliced potatoes to form the gorgeous, scalloped crust. We used a mandoline for slicing, but a sharp knife will also work.
Smoky Beef-and-Bacon ChiliBacon, fire-roasted tomatoes, and smoked Spanish paprika update traditional beef and bean chili with a smoky, complex flavor. Serve with cornbread, and try to save some for later—it's even better the next day!
Sweet-and-Sour Muffin Meat LoavesEven a well-loved staple needs an update now and then. Instead of using a loaf pan, roll this meat loaf mixture into balls and bake in a muffin pan. Adding brown sugar and vinegar to ketchup makes a delicious sweet-and-sour sauce that kids and grownups will love. Serve with mashed new potatoes and peas.
Lime-and-Cilantro Beef SaladThis recipe mixes rice and ground beef together over romaine lettuce. Toss the rice, beef, and lettuce with a dressing of cilantro, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and fresh lime juice. Garnish your salad with chopped roasted peanuts and sliced red onion.
Fettuccine with Bolognese SauceNothing beats a rich and savory pasta sauce like this bolgonese. Start with ground beef, vegetables, and tomatoes, then build the flavor with pancetta, a little whole milk, and nutmeg. Serve with slices of garlic bread and a salad to complete your meal. One reviewer says, "This recipe is amazing...my boyfriend thinks it's so good because I'm Italian and I learned how to make it from my mom (ha!)."
Beef Tostadas with Quick-Pickled OnionsThis Tex-Mex stack gets a bright punch of color from the quick-pickled onions that are so simple you'll make them again and again. For an extra kick, top with the jalapeño slices used in the pickling brine.
Spicy Cheddar-Stuffed BurgersNo, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you—these burgers are extra large because they're stuffed with Cheddar cheese. Pureed chipotle peppers add a delicious kick to the beef, and you can adjust the amount of spice to your family's liking. Balance that heat with classic toppings like fresh tomatoes, lettuce, yellow mustard, mayonnaise, and cold sides like coleslaw and fruit salad.
Beef and Bean Taco SaladTo help keep the tortillas in the shape of a bowl, keep the ramekins on the pan when you flip the tortillas over, and use them as supports to help prop up the tortilla bowls.
Shepherd's PieThis hearty dish pairs ground beef with earthy veggies like carrots, peas, mushrooms with flavorful, cheesy mashed potatoes. You can even make this dish ahead and refrigerate for an easy weeknight meal.
Meaty Cheese ManicottiGround beef is just the base of this manicotti stuffing. Add hot Italian sausage, cheese, and tomatoes to the mix and stuff into prepared manicotti shells. Cover in a cream sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan, and bake until the cheese is browned. Serve with a salad and garlic bread for a complete meal.
Whole-Grain Mini Meat LoavesQuinoa and vegetables bulk up meat loaf to a hefty portion; freeze leftover meat loaf up to 2 months.
Minced Beef with Bok Choy and Fried EggFor a little extra heat and a pop of color, drizzle a few drops of Sriracha over the eggs right before serving.
Beefy Bolognese over Penne PastaA meaty Bolognese needs a chance to reduce just a little as it cooks to concentrate flavors, and the Dutch oven allows for that, even with the lid on. This method also lets layers of flavors come through, as bacon, ground meat, and veggies are all browned in the same pot, then deglazed with cooking liquid.
Veggie-Packed BologneseMore meat than actual sauce, Bolognese sings with fatty cuts of beef and pork, then sits atop a mountain of white pasta.
Chili for a CrowdThis simple chili can simmer for as little as half an hour before you dig in, and it only takes 25 minutes to prep. It has traditional ingredients like beef, garlic, bell pepper, cumin, and chile powder, but you'll also add lager-style beer, which gives this chili more flavor. Set out everyone's favorite toppings in small bowls so they can customize their chili.
Grilled Sourdough Cheddar MeltThis cheddar melt is inspired by those yummy patty melts you find at a diner, but comes out lighter by using lean beef and reduced-fat cheese. Caramelized onions add even more flavor, and you can serve with your favorite diner-inspired sides.
Classic LasagnaThis classic lasagna recipe perfectly matches traditional Italian ingredients with a homemade sauce. Layers of cheese, meat, and pasta will satisfy any crowd.
Meat, Bulgur, and Rice DolmadesThis dish is found across the Mediterranean region, and now you can try it in your own home. Wrap a mixture of beef, grains, and tomatoes in grape leaves and braise the rolls in a lemon broth. When the dolmades are finished cooking, thicken the broth with cornstarch to make a dipping sauce—or use Greek yogurt. You can find the grape leaves in the Mediterranean section of larger grocery stores.
Not-So-Sloppy JoesThis dish may seem like a typical sloppy joe recipe, but there's a secret ingredient here. Cinnamon gives these joes a unique, warm flavor that's sure to please your family. And you'll be glad to know it takes only about 30 minutes to prepare! Serve your joes on toasted bread with cheese, sweet pickles, and sour cream. You can even use the leftovers for tacos the next night!

Interesting videos.
Daniel Weaver admits having some scutellata genes in his bees. So I guess Weavers are somewhat Africanized. However as he explains, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
I did notice that some of the traits he found among resistant bees are similar to mine, primarily the small population in winter. However, in my case at least, the ones that survive the winter and go on to prove they can year after year are very frugal with their stores. I have not experienced late build up or increased defensiveness in my own bees, though some that I purchased have been a little hot.

Cisco 1941w basic configuration
I've done quite a bit of work with Cisco kit before (it isn't my speciality, however) and am currently working on setting up the embedded Access Point in a Cisco 1941w ISR.
The primary router is working fine, but I'm getting no where with the embedded Access Point. The whole IOS within an IOS just doesn't compute for me.
Our requirements are really simple.
We have a 10.0.0.0/24 internal network. We want users to be able to access this via the 1941w Wireless Access Point, in the same way that wired users access this via the Ethernet port.
The manual re. setting up the AP isn't a lot of help. It gives an example where IP addresses are applied to the AP, which doesn't make sense to me, as we simple want the AP to sit on the same VLAN as the ethernet port.
Could anyone give me some really basic pointers re. how the AP is supposed to interface with the primary router? Or better still, could someone share a sample config with me?
Also, we want to use a WPA secret key to authenticate to AP. Is this possible? The Cisco docs seem to suggest that WPA is only possible through some 3rd party server.

Play-By-Playmate: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Jaime takes her talents to South Beach for the Dolphins/Redskins game.
I had mixed emotions when I was boarding the plane to Miami to see my first Dolphins home game of the season. I had this feeling like I was stuck in between a rock and hard place.
Being three time zones removed from Miami it was hard watching my Dolphins fall to 1-7 but something inside of me was sort of happy to see them at the bottom of AFC. I know some people will rip me as a fan for saying this but something was telling me it was time to lose, time to go for broke and get a good slot in next year's draft. I was on the bandwagon and looking to the future for the next face of the franchise. I totally saw the value in Suck for Luck.
For those of you who don't know, Andrew Luck is a junior quarterback out of Stanford who is a sure bet to go first in next year's draft. He is the kind of player you not only build a team around but a contender, an empire! We drafted a pretty good center in Mike Pouncey last year but those snaps need to go to someone who can handle the ball on offense and Luck's 70.6 pass percentage and 29 TDs through ten games this season say he's our man.
Now to be clear, I was not rolling over. If we had been anywhere close to contending this year I would cheering harder than ever, but clawing back from 1-7 is no easy feat and we were much closer to the bottom then the top. I was only thinking of the good of a team whose fans have not really had anyone to stand behind since the end of the Marino era over a decade ago.
Then I got to the game and everything changed.
I was invited to host at Liv, a full-on legit fist-pumping nightclub inside Sun Life Stadium. Complete with TVs, seats looking out onto the field and on this particular Sunday, my Playmate girl-crush DJ Summer Altice, Liv is a rocking good time on game day and a perfect place to watch the Dolphins play.
But for me, it was the icing on the cake. Just walking into the stadium gave me the chills, turning me from the cold hard calculating couch-coach I had become back into the Dolphins number one fan. I was not even thinking about Andrew Luck. I had completely forgotten about their 1-7 record. The only thing I could focus on was the game, series-by-series, down-by-down. I thought I had sealed my heart and washed my hands of the Dolphins but here I was, completely consumed by getting the W today and not for a second thinking about tomorrow.
I guess that is all part of being a fan. We always want what is best for our teams at any particular moment. And if that moment happens to be in the middle of a game, well, we just want them to win. So thanks for winning Dolphins (Two in a row!) Bring on the Bills. And thanks to Liv Sun Life and the always gorgeous Summer Altice. Check them both out of twitter at @livnightclub and @summeraltice.
To purchase your tickets to LIV Sun Life for a future Miami Dolphins football game or special event, please contact Cristian LaCapra at firstname.lastname@example.com or (305) 943-6742.

Thank heavens this list exists...it is an online mentor for us...for which we are very grateful
We hadn't checked the hives for about 10 days. Previous check we added a deep to each as the lower deep frames were about 80% in use.
Bees are very active...coming back bulging with pollen. They start early in the morning and don't stop till the sun goes down and things cool off.
One hive seems a bit stronger than the other....more bees in the top deep. Both hives are now taking only a bit of sugar syrup and the protein patties were pretty much as we had left them.
Both hives are now in the top deep, the stronger hive seems like it has just started to draw out comb. The weaker had not started with this though there were some bees on the frames. We took an outer frame from the lower box and put it 2 frames in on the top box on the weaker hive. We replaced the frame we moved with an empty frame. We did not do this on the other hive as those bees were building out comb.
Both hives had built some bits of comb that joined some of the bottoms of the top deep frames and the top of the bottom deep frames. These appeared to be filled with golden honey not brood.
We simply lifted the "glued" top frames, reversed them and replaced them.
The bees seemed content and organized.
Now that they have been with us 5 weeks and there seems to be plenty of natural food do we continue to check weekly or should we leave them for longer periods to simply get on with their business without disruption? Should we be pulling frames from the lower deep to continue to check brood patterns? We have not done this since checking that brood is there and is being capped.
Also every now and then there will be a dead bee on the entrance board. I take a look for adult varroa but haven't seen any. Would I see them if they were on the bees? Do they leave a bee when it dies so I wouldn't expect to see them on a dead bee.
Thanks for all the help.

For many centuries Indian and Tibetan Buddhists have employed this collection of pithy, penetrating Dharma slogans to develop compassion, equanimity, lovingkindness, and joy for others. Known as the lojong—or mind-training—teachings, these slogans have been the subject of deep study, contemplation, and commentary by many great masters.
In this volume, Traleg Kyabgon offers a fresh translation of the slogans as well as in-depth new commentary of each. After living among and teaching Westerners for over twenty years, his approach is uniquely insightful into the ways that the slogans could be misunderstood or misinterpreted within our culture. Here, he presents a refreshing and clarifying view, which seeks to correct points of confusion.
News & Reviews
"These profound Mahayana trainings, practiced for centuries in Tibet, are presented with clarity, compassionate directness, and penetrating insight. This volume should be cherished as the companion of all who seek true meaning in life. "—Tulku Thondup, author of Peace Death, Joyful Rebirth
"Traleg Kyabgon draws from a wealth of traditional Buddhist sources and brings them into the context of contemporary life and thought. The wisdom of these teachings is equally relevant for all cultures, ancient and modern. "—B. Alan Wallace, author of Buddhism with an Attitude

Criticism of Hungary's media controls keeps growing
"Klubrádió solely wants to provide news and present different opinions and never meant to play any emblematic role. But, because of the decision of the Media Authority, it has became the symbol of free speech in Hungary," stated the broadcaster's CEO, András Arató, on Sunday when addressing thousands of demonstrators who gathered in central Budapest to express their support for the station. Once this popular talk radio broadcaster loses its frequency license (which was reallocated to a previously unknown media group that tendered a higher price) in a matter of weeks, pro-government dominance will be nearly complete in terms of broadcast news programs in the country.


text: Hey folks, I'm Mike. I live just north of Albany, NY. I'm driving a 2011 Silverado 1500 LT Z-71 Extended Cab (already 37750 on the odo!). I've been a Chevy fan all my life, and mostly owned Bowties. First truck was a '78 C15. Couple vehicles later (starting with a '73 Olds Delta 88 convertible that got the nose torn off in a snowstorm!), I got a '98 K1500 Silverado Ext. Cab...one of my all-time favorite vehicles. After a few years of driving that all over NY, I opted for a 2002 Ram 1500 (w/ the anemic 4.7L motor)...traded that on a GMC Canyon that I drove for a couple years. After getting back from Iraq, I bought a 2009 Silverado 1500 Ext. Cab, and made the grave mistake of worrying about mileage in December 2010- trading the pickup on an Equinox. UGH!! Within 3 months, I was back in a FS pickup- my current ride: I'm a NY Army National Guardsman on FTNGD-CD (Full Time National Guard Duty - Counter Drug), so I am often TDY- heading to Camp Smith (Peekskill), Fort Drum, Buffalo, LI, etc. That, and a 25 mile drive to work each way has racked up the miles pretty quickly, but I won't drive anything else! Hope to get some good intel from this site, and if I can help, I'll try!
