Dear Jerry,
I was interested in the conversation on your website about self importance
and self esteem.
Here are my thoughts on the subject.
The spiritual path is no breeze: it is an ordeal, an insult to self
confidence, in which our many masks are presented to us in the ruthless
mirror of awareness. Yet as we are slowly and painfully unmasked, a self
esteem begins to flower. This unmasking process is such anathema to the ego
that it is well nigh impossible to go through it without the support of a
teacher. I understand from friends who are involved with Adi Da, and from
others who were physically close to Osho, that far from being charlatans,
they are ( or in the case of Osho, were), such ruthless mirrors.
A few snips from many posts by Bruce Morgen:
Either nothing is an accident
or everything is an accident.
It makes no difference when
one is truly in love -- when
kneeling at the edge of the
Ganges, of what relevance is
the route taken to arrive
there? It is time to simply
bathe, for there is only now.
Osho was authentic even as he
was abundantly human, you
dishonor his memory by going
through rote, imitative
motions and believing them
to comprise an act of love.
Let me tell you
how it looks from here: those
defending Osho are not really
defending a dead man or his
reputation, they are really
defending their personal
decision that Osho was "somebody
who brings (or at least brought)
love into the world" and was
therefore their master and
worthy of devotion, even when in
the grave. In short, they are
defending their personal
harbored image of Osho as an
incomparable divine being, a
cherished memory in which they
are emotionally invested. I've
seen this phenomonon dozens of
time in the nearly three decades
during which I've come into
contact with western bhaktas --
they don't seem to realize that
a true master needs no defending,
and that their activity is really
simply ego donning holy robes.
That is why the wound remains
open, it is really their own
ongoing doubts they are fighting.
There is no "greatest master,"
there is only an immeasurable
universe of universes to
which every master points!
Jai Acharya Rajneesh, Jai
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Jai
Osho -- and Jai Lilly, for
that which is within the
master lives in us all!
Forget the damned finger,
look to where it points!
My wound in this area, and perhaps it is
true for a number of "us," is that Osho made good and sure that he -- and
by extension, we -- were controversial. A great publicity device as well
as a constant challenge for us.
As far as the general population is concerned, that was and is fine with
me. If they thought/think that i/we are idiots, no problem, the feeling is
mutual. It gets trickier with friends. Usually if these judgements persist
i write them off as worthwhile people to know/hang with. With people like
you who seem to have a lot of intelligence and integrity and are committed
to a deep spiritual life, the kind of rejection you have been dispensing
requires something more.
Exactly why is not entirely clear but i guess it has something to do with
wanting acceptance from some intelligent peer outside the context of
sannyas. And, now that i look at it more deeply, a hard-nosed intelligent
peer, not just someone who accepts everyone
Dear Bruce,
yes, - this is how it is - forgetting that
I was talking to myself, endlessly -
the bumerrang came back - hit the target
boooommmmmmm - got it!
Thank you for holding up the mirror and not
giving up - in this way I could feel the shame
about my hiding behind some put up idealism -
hiding because of not being able to follow
my own set up of standard - putting it high enough
so that I will never meet it and also pojecting it
outside of myself to the greatest master in the universe!
Good to be in this hairdressing saloon, the treatment gets
thoroughly through!
Thank you - it was worth it -
Love, Lilly
Dear Bruce!
There is an arogance of the mind,to bring out this statement
about teachers.When you mention Osho in This context,it hurts.
For me he is one of the great masters and challenged a lot.
Is the master there to make it right to the viewpoint of the
for me,it shows,that you never deeply fall in love with a
master.To know This feeling of oneness,also to be thrown back
on yourselfe.
Not knowing anything
through love surrendering anyway.
This for me is the real thing.
I whish you to fall in love.
Dear Bruce,
What to say after this whole rap?! Yours is too long to dismantle
every sentence as you prefer to do. It's really fatiguing this game.
I've got your point, I don't like priests either. Maybe that's why I
had to play out this part. What you resist, persists... (I read this
a few mails before). It seems difficult to make my standpoint here. I
don't like it when people like Osho who made themselves available for
god and lived in it totally (whatever personality they used to have)
get ridiculed for their personal weaknesses. And this has nothing to
do with any specific master. Of course there is no need to defend the
teaching - I agree totally with this. But to have some compassion
with the vehicle which delivers the teaching - and to treat him like
a human being and not to analize and dissect every movement - this is
my concern. And of course I am really talking to myself right now.
Thank you for giving me the possibility that I could share this.
Much Love
I have to ask this. Who cares if someone calls your beloved
teacher a charlatan? I honestly can't understand why it
would upset someone.
I try it on. I think Jesus was one of the greatest teachers.
It doesn't upset me if someone calls him a fake. Or
Gurdjieff. What is it that is bothersome? If I am secure
in my understanding and love, why would it bother
me that someone else is a name caller?
Seems like wasted sex energy to keep on jabbering
about it.
Dan Berkow:
Hi Mark,
Forget realization.
It's just an idea in your mind.
Don't even think about putting off
realizing your own made up idea
about what realization is.
Yes, we impose meaning.
Yes, imposed meaning can drop away.
How are you supposed to have a clue
to my meaning, when the meaning
is the dropping away of imposed
I would be glad to grab you and shake
you, but you're already doing well

Dear Lalla,
Reality isn't here to keep
you from being bored.
If explanations you've received
bore you, perhaps it's time
to look beyond the explanations.
When I look into the experience
of boredom, what I find looking
back at me is the truth of my
being (that I didn't want to
be with).
David Hodges creatively expounding on breathing:
>As Master of Breath, what advice can you give me, to remedy this situation?Thanks for asking! Sorry it took a while for me to reply, I have been
>Thanks in advance,
>==Gene Poole==
putting together some material on the avatar Johnny Salami for Jerry. Due
to other circumstances, I have had to defer that effort for tomorrow.
The in-breath, the pause, and the out-breath of course correspond to the
Hindu trinity of Brahma, the creator (the in-breath), Vishnu, the sustainer
(the pause between), and Shiva, the destroyer (the out-breath).
These phases of the breath also constitute the great crystal clock of the
Universe, beating out the rhythm of appearance, manifestation, and
disappearance that, unperceived by most, are responsible the construction
of "reality" by our gross physical senses. This corresponds to the crystal
clocks that beat time for our computers. As in modern multitasking
computers, where in the imperceptible intervals of these ticks, context
switches occur with blinding speed, so that many programs appear to be
running "all at once".
Since you have noticed, oh gifted one, that your in-breaths are fewer than
your out-breaths, it might occur to you that what is happening is that your
perception of "reality" is getting out of phase. But fear not, these
"missing" parts of the great clock-beat are indeed there, but in other
contexts being switched in and out of your Display (to use your infectious
These other contexts are complete Display fields that "seem" to be the
reality of other persons in other times and even other places. And so, your
missing phase might actually be part of MY context, or of you in a previous
or future lifetime, or of some Ganymeadean slime mold somewhere far far away.
By paying attention (which I know you are really good at doing) you might
be able to shift phases into one of these other switched contexts and
suddenly inhabit the perceptual field of, oh, some Olympic gymnast in the
midst of a difficult balance beam exercise, or of a politician in the
process of calling a reporter an asshole, or of Julius Caesar in the
process of being assassinated. You never know.
The method for shifting phases is known in shamanic traditions as "moving
the assemblage point." Basically, you focus in the heart center and then,
metaphorically, step two or three inches to the left. Easy, huh?!!!
It used to bother me that, despite the fact that I realized that there is,
in truth, "no self", there still seemed to be an attachment of the
awareness masquerading as "David Hodges" to this particular bio/conscious
unit in this particular time and place, until I realized that the context
switching that occurs in the intervals of the breath actually provided
enough "time" for awareness to be attached to EVERY bio/conscious unit on
the planet, indeed in the universe, in every time and place.
The way that reality contexts can overlay each other and bleed into one
another has been extensively documented by the great Philip K. Dick, as in
our mutually favored text, "Ubik".
But I'm sure you know all this, honored sir.

"Therefore they say, 'the breath is Vayu (God of the wind), seed is breath;
seed comes into being first when man comes into existence.' In that he
recites a triplet to Vishnu, thus he makes his breath perfect...Where
there is expiration, there is inspiration; in that he recites a triplet to
Indra and Vayu, thus his expiration and inspiration he makes perfect." -

"We have a closed universe that forms an elongated hollow torus. Encased
within this torus is an inner torus of protospace...our psyches, which
contain all our knowledge, expand periodically into that space for a very
short period of time at practically infinite velocities. The the human
psyches form an interference pattern with psyches of all other
consciousnesses in the universe." Itzhak Bentov, _Stalking the Wild
Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness_
"What appears to occur is that the identification with the body by the
created I-dentities form an internal universe, which, like a galaxy of
stars, planets, and cosmic dust, seem to evolve around what the I-dentities
perceive as a Black Hole which is actually within the body. It is this
Black Hole which is paradoxically the gateway into Essence...the Sufi
school of the Fourth way talks of the mid-point...the gap or space that
occurs as one emotion or thought changes into another [or as an in-breath
changes into an out-breath]...the mid-point is what is called
self-remembering and is where self-remembering can take place. In the work
of G.I. Gurdjieff, attention is split at the mid-point and one can wake up
out of the sleep of identification with a particular state of
consciousness...this mid-point is often experienced as pure quiet -
nothingness." Stephen Wolinksky, _The Tao of Chaos_

Gene Poole on fishing, and on vegetable gardening:
>Celibate... is that some kind of fish?Yes, it is a very peculiar and rare type of fish, which are
skillfully caught and presented to Spiritual Masters. For them, it is
a special food, suited for their special needs.
Of course, the Master must first teach the devotee HOW to fish (as
you know, "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a woman to
fish, and she eats for a lifetime".), and the first part of teaching
how to fish, is to instruct on how to properly set bait.
For this phase of Spiritual Instruction, the skills of the Master
Baiter are invaluable. Under the expert tutelage of the Master
Baiter, the devotee learns how to bait masters.
Perhaps that is why we see so much baiting of Masters here on NDS and
elsewhere! Of course, it is only the devotee sharpening their hooks,
hoping to catch The Big One.
So the devotee presents the master with the sharpened hook, as a
symbolic representation of intention to catch the rare celibate-fish.
The True Master then places the bait, and the devotee proceeds to
swallow hook, line and sinker.
Only much, much later, does the devotee realize (that special word!)
the true meaning of Master, coughs up the hook, and disavows the bait.
Does this mean that Masters are bad? No, it means that The Master's
job is to teach the devotee to realize how easy it is to be hooked,
when appraising bait. But some devotees never get the joke, and are
thus embittered, vowing (for the wrong reasons) to avoid all Masters,

Harsha tells a story:
Hello everyone. I appreciate the nice comments Jerry, Michele, and Mark.
I have a night class to teach so I will keep this brief and just share this.
For some, the dilemma of life is how to give the very best of themselves.
For some,
the thought does not occur. Everything they give is only the best. Which
reminds me of a story my Gurudev told. My teacher's father was a business
He had a clothing shop. In India, it is common for customers to haggle over
prices. One day when my teacher was (as a teenager) sitting with his father
in the shop, a customer came. He wanted to bargain over some item. My
teacher's father refused and said that the price was fixed. The customer was
surprised. "I am willing to pay the price, but I only buy the best," said
the customer. My teacher's father calmly replied, "Sir, everything in my
shop is the best. I carry only the best."
My teacher became a Jain monk at the age of 20 when his fiance passed away.
He was the only son and his sister had passed away in childhood.
My teacher's father was a widower and had raised his son himself.
After my teacher became a monk, his father reflected carefully on life.
a few months he gave away everything in the shop and joined his son in the
Both father and son practiced together for the next 17 years, until the
father passed away.

Yes, well there is no such thing as a perfect person. Heaven forbid! :-)
That'd be no fun now would it?
The only thing that's perfect is awareness itself. Tada!
Mark Otter:
I'd like to share a problem I have and see if anyone can help out. I
think I agree with Jack Kerouac who you recently (well, in geological
time perhaps) quoted:
'The simplest truth in the world is beyond our reach because of its
complete simplicity, i.e, its pure nothingness-- There are no awakeners
and no meanings-- Even if suddenly 400 naked Nagas came solemn tromping
over the ridge here and say to me "We have been told the Buddha was to
be found on this mountaintop-- we have walked many countries, many
years, to get here-- are you alone here?"-- "Yes" --"Then you are the
Buddha" and all 400 of em prostrate and adore, and I sit suddenly
perfectly in diamond silence-- even then, and I wouldn't be surprised
(why be surprised?) even then I would realize that there are, there is
no Buddha, no awakener, and there is no Meaning, no Dharma, and it is
all the wile of Maya'
I am in that existential state of complete failure where it all is an
unpleasant mirage, but I can't seem to get rid of it, no matter how hard
I rub my eyes (or breath). In this post of yours from almost two years
ago, you hint that you think Jack made a sacrifice by not becoming
realized, and that this sacrifice allowed him to help bring the Dharma
to America. How do you feel about that argument now, and was the
sacrifice worth it? Was it necessary? Is there a reason to put off
realization? Is there anything to put off? Is the whole point that
there is no sense to the universe, and we only suffer when we want to
impose meaning on an irrational uncaring accident? (albeit a pretty one
when we just allow it to be)
Assuming these are Mark's remarks starting.....

A) we believe we can impose something on it, thereby grounding the
separation of that "we" to it.
B)That it is to be an irrational uncaring accident or that it is be an
rational caring act of Love or whatever
Do you Mark believe you are an irrational uncaring accident?
Then so is your universe.
Do you Mark beleive, you are a rational carring act of Love or whatever?
Then so is your universe.
Do you Mark "know" that you are neither?(and this question is really a
Then neither is your Universe

Jerry Katz:
Hi Mark,
What I wrote on the Kerouac web page, where you got the
above quote, was:
"I don't know if Kerouac knew nondual perspective -- his
literary drive and work would have put the brakes on that,
so that was his sacrifice -- but he intuited nondual
reality, at least, and, extraordinarily, incorporated it
into a popular literature around which coalesced an entire
Here's the webpage: http://www.nonduality.com/jack.htm
On that page, Gene Poole also writes of sacrifice. The web
page is open to further comment.
When I read Kerouac, I hear someone who understands the
nondual scriptures of Buddhism. That understanding melded
with an extraordinary literary style helped to make Buddhism
popular in the West and gave many their first taste of the
nondual. As I see it, that's as far as he went. He could
have gone beyond Buddhism and been a free nondualist, and in
the passage above and in others he appears to have done so,
but I feel he sacrificed that step in order to create a
package for Buddhism itself, which was enough of an
accomplishment. Whether he made that sacrifice consciously
or not, I don't know. The fact is, it is Buddhist, not
Hindu, Islamic, or Christian nondualism, that he had roots
in, and that he literally spread.
I can't say whether anything he did is worthwhile or
necessary. He was apparently a gifted, sensitive person who
read the Buddhist scriptures including the most nondual
Lankavatara Sutra.
You say: "I am in that existential state of complete failure
where it
all is an unpleasant mirage, but I can't seem to get rid of
it, no matter how hard I rub my eyes (or breath)"
I also can't say whether what your existential state as
described is worthwhile or necessary. What it is is
suffering, apparently.
Suffering comes from holding an image of what is shining and
right, and then realizing that there is either no joining
with that image or that the image is not an adequate one.
Maybe there is an image of the nothingness Kerouac talks
about, a nothingness that is just beyond the mirage. If so,
it is an image, another mirage.
It could be said that Kerouac created exquisite mirages, a
great castle in the sky with distinct bricks and a bridge
leading to it. That could describe his literary work,
everyone's work, Buddhism, and every religion. That castle
is a seductive place. Perhaps the beauty of it is that
somewhere within the mirage is the way out -- it is found in
nondual teachings -- and that the way out is to see the
mirage and to stop the mirage making.

Melody Anderson:
While I was away from the computer this evening
I looked at this 'split' I recognized today....this
incongruiety I'd been carrying....and could see how
perfect it was.
I have such a sense of it all being 'in divine order'.
I was 'split' as a child, and have recognized for some
time the beauty of that experience.....how perfect it
was that one part of me 'split' away from the rest...
only later to be reunited.
I had the same sense today of how perfect it was
for me to don the mask of 'invulnerability'.....as just
one more tool (unconscious as it was) to assist me in
my efforts to break away from 'the group mind',
'group ethics' and to tap dancing to other people's
It was an exercise which showed me that even though
I may have left the 'club', the 'club' never left me.
More importantly,
It reminded me of what I had already discovered 10
years ago, which was: to be vulnerable....to be totally open to
whatever comes my way....is to move from a world
once seen as black and white to a world full of colors.
It's as if taste buds have returned, and I'm once again
free to taste a full range of flavors.
Being 'vulnerable'.....whether it's the experience of
a broken heart, or that of lighthearted delight....is to
be fully, gratefully, wholeheartedly alive.

Percy Winner:
It is kind of a conversation stopper to say this.
The thing I felt as love for the master was not simply
this cosmic love, this, this, a thousand times this.
It was like threads of specific identities woven
together to include all the possible human motivations
that I could imagine.
Humanness is what I mean. Total humanness. It was, is
a wonder to experience in its totality what life in
the body really means, can be, is meant to be.
The human heart was a carrier for this
Love to you
I appreciate it so much to have this space to share
these things
Beloved Melody,
I am touched by your words about vulnerability.
I tried for years in the beginning of this life to fight against my
vulnerability thinking that this is not good! (not God!) By watching
experiencing my family I got the impression that one (mainly woman)
should not be so vulnerable as I experienced myself to be.
All the time I had tears as a child, my brothers pointed with a
finger at me, laughing.
Later I invented ( or took the common believe?) the concept of
enlightened beings having no emotions, feelings, sentiments any more!
So I faught my vulnerability again. Osho Rajneesh helped me a lot to
appreciate being human and celebrating just being myself. But still
hidden to me ( tricky the mind is!) I thought at least HE is without
feelings, still this projection was going on unconsciously!
Since more than 3 years I am with a beautiful, alive, vibrating,
strong and vulnerable, Satsang teacher who invites me totally to be
myself and mirrors every spot where I again project this crap!
My learning here is to accept everything as God and appreciate every
form and way as God creating it. I discover more and more the beauty
of vulnerability.
I heard that Ramana, when people came to him telling about their
sufferings that he wept with them!
This touches me. I am built so close to tears! And I enjoy it more
and more to be touched, to feel the feelings whatever it is.
love to you, Melody

Dear lalla,
I certainly cannot give you answers to all your questions, and also
not the one big answer for the one big question. Very good that you
feel confused, very good that you feel blessed.
I am in a similiar condition as you are - I have many questions.
What I have found is, that all of them arise out of pain, or more
exactly, of not wanting to feel the pain. This means, of not wanting
to experience life fully.
This is the mechanism behind.
So when I have an existential question, I don't go for an answer, but
I ask a second question: why does this question arise?
This is the way I learn. Life gives me the questions. It is meant
like this: resistance takes care.
Sammy Rubinall:
Dear Bruce
Things are not always what they appear to be.
Osho pushed buttons like no other
and a sure sign that your button is getting pushed
is when you start pointing the finger
and I see your finger pointing!
His wasn't about fitting in with your or my ideas
His was about provocation
to bring it all up into the light of day
so it could be seen
and his tactics....!
yeah, the books are there
but his gift was *Modern Zen*
and it happened then
Hitting people with sticks was out
big watches and Rolls Royces
that's what did it

Dear all,
tonight sooooo much love appeared in "my" life.
Being with the most beloved friends, feeling the
god in front of you. This precious moments of life.
Just seeing the living Buddha touched the eternal,
omnipresent untouchable self. Oh, how blessed I am.
It is a miracle again and again. Love is like
a butterfly. Suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
It is not possible to catch/keep it by ones will
or intention. Enjoy it.
In one moment it disappears like mist in the sun.
A dear friend says to you: I love you.

Laying porcelain tile on a concrete floor on your own is a job that requires planning and preparation. Installing tile on your own is much less expensive than hiring a professional, and if you do it right, you can easily achieve the same professional results. In the end, your room will be transformed and you will have a durable and attractive tile floor. Porcelain tile comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. Floors can be done all one color, or you can use different colors to create your own patterns. You can also choose from a variety of grout colors.
Things You'll Need
- Porcelain tiles
- Tile spacers
- Mortar or adhesive
- Grout
- Grout sealer
- Small sponge brush
- Notched trowel
- Padded grout float
- Wet saw
- Diamond blade
- Sponge
- Chalk line
Make sure that the concrete floor you wish to cover is level, sturdy and clean. There should be no defects in the concrete. If there are defects, patch or level these areas with a floor-leveling compound.
Measure the dimensions of your floor. Use the dimensions to help you estimate how many tiles you will need.
Snap chalk lines down the middle of the floor, in both directions, in order to find the center point of the room. This will also divide your floor into four quadrants.
Plan the tile layout by dry-laying the tiles on the floor. Start in the center of the floor, and work your way to the walls. Use spacers in between the tiles to account for concrete grouting. The ideal space between each tile is 1/16-inch.
Cut tiles to fit around corners, the perimeter of the room, and other structural elements, such as doorways. Use a wet saw with a diamond blade.
Lay your tiles starting in the center of the floor and working in one quadrant at a time. Work in small sections and take breaks as you go. Lay tiles using a thin-set mortar or ceramic tile adhesive and a notched trowel. Mix the mortar according the directions on the package. Lay tiles by applying roughened patches of mortar on the floor using the notched trowel. Set in each tile and press down on each tile to anchor it firmly into the mortar. Don't forget to use spacers again. Give the mortar or adhesive 24 hours to cure.
Use a grout bag, padded grout float or a squeegee to push grout into the spaces between each tile. As you go, wash grout from the surface of the tiles using a damp sponge. Keep the sponge as clean as possible. When done, do a final wash with a damp sponge to remove any grout film that was left behind. Allow the grout up to three days to cure before walking on the floor.
Allow the grout two weeks to completely cure, then add a silicone or water-based grout sealer to the grout lines using a small sponge brush.
Tips & Warnings
- When cutting tile to fit near walls and around obstacles, remember the old saying: "Measure twice, cut once." This will avoid wasting time and tiles.
- Always use eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) when cutting tiles.

How do schools use the Matrix in OSPortfolio? What's a typical workflow for the OSP Matrix?
A Matrix, at its core, is just a two-dimensional collection of cells. Really.
But there's a LOT you can do with the OSP matrix! Your matrices will be something you build and design from the ground up, to serve the specific needs of your learners and your institution.
For example, each cell of the matrix is designed to utilize three specific forms:
- reflection (for student introspection)
- evaluation (faculty assesses student work)
- feedback (peers can give a learner feedback as well)
Not only can you define each of these forms from the ground up (text here, attachment there, date over here...) -- but each of these three forms is optional... plus additional forms can be "attached" to any matrix cell as well.
In addition to all this, each cell can include its own guidance, rationale and examples. Each of these is an HTML page, with any kind of pertinent attachment available as well, such as graphics, flash snippets or PDF documents.
So, not only defining the columns and the rows, but which forms and which guidance are used in any particular cell of the matrix -- well, that's an important set of decisions to make, at every step!
Rows and Columns
Often the rows of a matrix are used as criteria -- certain skill sets or expectations or standards that the learner is expected to improve upon. The columns are often levels of accomplishment: beginner, intermediate, advanced, for example, or maybe freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. WIth the progression from one level to the next, the matrix workflow can be set up to automatically unlock the cell at the higher level, once the faculty admits that the learner has adequate mastery of the lower level.
But you can set up matrices at your institution however you like! If you want your columns to be categories, and your rows to be skill level, by all means do so. Some schools use a one-column matrix as a holding place for assignment artifacts. Others leave all cells wide open, letting the students decide where their items fit best, and at the end of the school year, if there are some glaring holes, they know they need to revise their curriculum. Still others use the matrix as a structured place for certification -- students submit a cell for evaluation when they're happy with its contents, and faculty can give it (or refuse to give) "thumbs up" to certify it. How your school uses the OSP matrix is entirely up to you!
Evaluation and Feedback
Typically the way the matrix is set up in OSPortfolio (the electronic portfolio within Sakai), faculty determine which forms are to be used in which cells (often it's the same forms over and over again, for all the cells -- other times each cell will have its own distinct set of forms) and the students populate the matrix with their evidence and artifacts (documents, course work, etc) to match.
Some schools leave it at that -- and then at the end of every year they evaluate their own curriculum for "holes" by seeing if there are lots of common empty spots in learners' matrices. In other words, by reviewing the choices made by the students throughout the year, the faculty
On the other hand, many schools encourage their learners to "Submit" each cell for evaluation when the learner feels it's "complete", and this process usually involves having the learner fill out an introspective reflection form. This temporarily locks the cell from modifications. At this point the faculty (or assistants) can peruse the student's work, giving feedback according to the evaluation form attached to that cell; if the learner's work is approved then the cell and all its contents are locked for good, as if "certified" -- if it's not up to par, the cell is unlocked instead, so the student can continue making changes). The evaluation form can include things such as a letter grade field, if you like, and the results can be included in any portfolio that's drawn from such a matrix.
And some schools open the matrix up for peer-review as well. A learner's peers can then review his or her work, giving feedback and encouragement; sometimes a peer's opinions can have more impact than the instructor's!
Plan your OSPortfolio implementation carefully and thoroughly
Defining the Matrix is a very deliberate process; building XSD forms from scratch, determining which forms would be most appropriate in the Matrix and where, selecting which workflow style to use, developing customized XSL templates to provide portfolios from the matrix, and whatever else you need to get your OSP "off the ground".
Serensoft can help with all this, and more.
OSP is an open-source electronic portfolio built into Sakai, which is an open-source collaboration and learning environment.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
hello welcome to the site
the p0171 is a lean condition .
how many miles on the car ?
what service work has been done prior to this code appearing
ok please check to make sure the sensors don't have any oil on it from the filter.
if a filter has to much oil on it theirs a chance this will get on the sensor and alter the readings.
im 100% agree with you on the intake problem.
all your hoses are hooked up correctly ?
did k&n offer any help on this ?
the intake is the common thing here.
i could see if this was isolated to 1 bank but 2 is a concern.
well other then rechecking every hose and clamp i can amagine something with the air filter but i have seen some in the acuras cause intake issues.
with out me seen this first hand i have to go on the info you have given me.
was their a order on the hoses you removed on the stock intake?
mmm this is very odd.
i have seen issues on the cold air that drops down into the engine or bummer area.
did the intake temp sensor fit into the grommet ?
hmm now you have me in a tail spin.
this is a sensor that is on the actual intake piping.after the maf.
yes towards the engine. after the air filter leading to the throttle body
how did the acura turn out ?
Time to drive to autozone and buy part 1 minute
Time to change ignition coil 7 minutes
Expert advice .... Priceless !!
Thanks man... now fix my mazda speed 6 and I'll triple your price !!
thats great news glad the acura is running.
can you take a picture of the intake and all the hoses ect so i can get a birds eye view of the intake something just does not make sense here.
ok i will look this over.
the directions show a couple of hoses do you see these ?
the intake clamps look good.
can you run your hand around the intake piping and do you feel any fittings ?
and you cleaned the maf sensor was it dirty ?
ok well im not sure what else i can suggest on this.
im out of ideas on this.
i can re open this up to see if another expert has some ideas.
i have not see something so simple create so many problems.
i really don't see what else could be causing this besides the intake unless the shop broke something while installing the intake.
with out taking this all apart again and inspecting for damage or anything out of place.
New Expert here!
Welcome to Just Answer! My name isXXXXX will be happy to help you out and your 100% satisfaction is my goal. Please realize that all my answers are based solely on the info that you provide me with....
I have been following this thread and I would like to try and help you out. Sorry for so many questions but I would like to accurately diagnose your lean code. I just need a bit more info from you to point you in the right direction.
Do you have access to a scanner that can read live data?
How does the engine idle? How does the engine accelerate?
Ok... good!
Lets take a look at the rpm in the freeze frame. I want to see if the code popped up at idle or when the engine rpm was up at higher rpms
Ok.. sounds good!
It might take the computerXXXXXcycles to light the MIL light when it sees this lean condition. THat is why is most likely popped up on the 2nd start up.
If in fact that it was at idle that this code was flagged, then chances are it is going to be an air or a vacuum leak. There is a difference between the two. A vacuum leak is after the throttle plate. An air leak is before the throttle plate but after the mass air flow sensor. Either way, there is a leak after the mass air flow sensor, the computer will see it as a lean condition and it will flag this code.
Again, look very carefully around the after market intake tube or snorkel for any place that air can enter that would not be accounted for by the mass air flow sensor.
If none is found, the best way to go about this diagnoses is to smoke check the intake for vacuum leaks with a smoke machine. THis makes it really easy to find air or vacuum leaks. However, before we get that far lets just get a good visual of the intake set up after the mass air flow sensor.
Also, you can check the mass air flow sensor grams per second on your scan tool.
The specs at idle is 3.6-3.8 for manual transmission and 3.8-4.0 for automatic transmission. At 2500 RPM's no load the specification is 10.5-11.2 for manual transmission and 10.6-11.4 for automatic transmission. If the readings are low the mass air flow sensor is bad or you have a vacuum leak.
In addition, check the fuel trims when the vehicle is at idle and at 2500 rpm driving down the road. If the fuel trims are high at idle and normal while driving at about 2500 rpm, my money is on either a vacuum or an air leak after the mass air flow sensor.
Sounds good!
I will be looking forward to your reply!
Thats ok.. if you get a chance to get a scanner that can read live data, we can go that route... if not, lets just check the intake tube/snorkel for cracks or rips.
If you have a voltmeter, you should be able to get a volt reading from the mass air flow sensor.
You should be able to take a reading from the mass air flow sensor at idle and while snapping the throttle while in park. You don't have to be driving to do this.
If the voltage is low at idle, chances are the mass air flow sensor is bad or you have a vacuum leak.
Also, if you can try and get your hands on a scanner that can read live data, that would be very helpful as well.
Ok... sorry for the delay!
It is going to be either pin C or D. Here is an electrical diagram and a connector view of the mass air flow sensor.
Here is the testing for the mass air flow sensor straight from the book.
Visually inspect for the following on the MAF/IAT sensor.Damage Cracks Bent terminals Terminal rust If any of the above are found, replace the MAF/IAT sensor. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
MAF Rate and Load Value
NOTE: The scan tool shows the MAF rate and load value.
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
Disconnect the PCM connector (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
Inspect the following harnesses for open or short circuit. (Continuity check).Open circuit
MAF/IAT sensor terminal A (harness-side) and main relay terminal C (harness-side) MAF/IAT sensor terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 77 (harness-side) MAF/IAT sensor terminal C (harness-side) and PCM terminal 88 (harness-side)Short circuit
MAF/IAT sensor terminal A (harness-side) and body GND. MAF/IAT sensor terminal B (harness-side) and power supply. MAF/IAT sensor terminal C (harness-side) and power supply. MAF/IAT sensor terminal C (harness-side) and body GND.
Here are some more specs for your mass air flow sensor.
Key-On-Engine-Off Idle0.0-0.2 V 0.60-0.90 V
MAF Volts Grams Per Second of Air Flow0.34 V or 0.39 GPS0.39 V or 0.95 GPS0.50 V or 1.30 GPS0.60-0.90 V or 1.69-4.50 GPS1.00 V or 5.53 GPS1.96 V or 22.92 GPS3.90 V or 137.98 GPS
Typical Signal Values:Compare Mass Air Flow To Voltage;
Engine Off;- Key on engine off checks the zero air flow value, the voltage should be 0.0 to 0.2 volts. High sensor ground is the most likely cause of high signal voltage with the engine off.- If the voltage is wrong check B+, engine ground and sensor ground.
Engine Running;-Verify operation by comparing voltage to speed and MAF air flow values. These values vary with altitude and other operating conditions.
- If readings vary use voltage to air flow and 2 second wide open throttle test.
- Intake vacuum leaks will cause air flow values to be low because the air leak is not measured by the MAF sensor. Small leaks will show up more at idle than cruise because of the lower air flow at idle. Air leaks will cause long term fuel trim to be higher than normal.
I hear you loud and clear! Sometimes some vehicles can be very difficult to diagnose.
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Please don't forget to hit the green accept button so that I may receive credit for the time that I have spent with you. In addition, bonuses and positive feedback are much appreciated!
Even after you accept one of my answers, we can still continue our conversation if needed.
Car has been at the dealers for the last 3 days, now some $1,240 in Diag Fees later they can't figure it out. They want to fly in a specialist from Mazda to see if he will help. So I guess the saga continues.
What was done.
Replaced MAF
Replaced all hoses
Smoke checked, nothing found
replaced Cold Air Intake with factory box, etc...
I'm stumped....
Sorry for the delay!
Was the mass air flow sensor replaced with a factory part? Maybe it is this simple? I see these things go bad all the time! I have seen bad mass air flow sensors right out of the box!
Also, just an idea.. be sure the exhaust is not plugged and that the valve timing is dead on. I don't think this is the problem because the vehicle has plenty of power... but working on cars, I have seen stranger things.
I am just checking up on you. What have we found with the vehicle?

Southern Scalloped Potatoes
Recipe by Stella Mae
This delicious casserole hasn't been compromised by garlic and some other seasonings to detract from the traditional southern flavor, or gunked up with cheese to turn it into a gratin or doria. We enjoy this authentic southern dish year-round, so good in its creamy simplicity and subtle flavors. My family always expects it for Christmas dinner alongside the ham and cranberry chutney. Be your own judge regarding measurements. I learned from my grandmother and she never measured, so I've learned to guestimate on many of my recipes. NOTE: This dish can easily be frozen after baking, then thawed out and reheated. I do not recommend freezing without baking first, since potatoes will sometimes get mushy if frozen uncooked. I personally do not like a tin baking pan for this particular recipe, especially for freezing, since it can sometimes impart a "tinny" taste. Also, if this recipe is baked in a glass baking dish and then frozen, the glass will shatter if not at room temperature. So, if freezing in a glass baking dish, I recommend baking and freezing in Corning Ware since it will not break.
Top Review by Ken Wood
This was the perfect scalloped potato recipe that we all remember from those pot-luck dinners. It was simple to make, but had a wonderful flavor. Was perfect with an Easter ham and steamed asparagus.

Eighth-seeded Doyle extended its string of successful late-season girls basketball to eight wins in its past nine games, complete with a 60-33 victory last Thursday over Hannan in the opening round of the Class 2A state playoffs.
The Tigers began their preparations for ninth-seeded Red River, complete with an energetic practice on Sunday for Monday's regional.
Because of a wintry mix that closed a large number of schools in the northern part of the state — including Red River's home in Coushatta — that game has been in a holding pattern.
"We were super excited after Sunday's practice," Doyle coach Samantha White said. "Then the game was postponed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It's been a little bit of a roller-coaster ride, but Red River's had to go through the same thing."
After a week in between games Doyle (19-12) gets the chance to face Red River (22-7) Thursday with the Class 2A state regional set for Doyle Elementary at 6 p.m.
Walker and White Castle have had the good fortune of remaining within their normal three-day routines in between playoff wins.
The No. 2 Wildcats (29-5) travel to No. 7 Natchitoches Central (24-9) at 6:30 in a Class 5A state quarterfinal, while No. 6 White Castle (21-11) visits District 8-1 rival No. 3 West St. John (26-5) at 6:30 in a Class 1A quarterfinal.
"This should be a highly contested game," Walker coach Korey Arnold said. "We've got to go there, so it will be a hostile environment.
"We've talked to the kids about what to expect and what they have to do. They just have to play."
White Castle's visit to West St. John represents the third meeting with the league's top two teams splitting games. The Bulldogs avenged a 52-32 loss at the Rams on Jan. 11 with a 36-35 home victory on Feb. 3.
"It's hard to plan for them after playing them twice," White Castle coach Tammy Pierce said. "We know each other pretty well, so it's going to be who comes to play and who steps up and is mentally prepared."
Doyle relies on the scoring of sophomore point guard Madison Watts and senior center Belle Raymer, with both averaging 15 points.
Red River, the District 1-2A champion, enters with a nine-game win streak after blasting No. 24 Rosepine, 67-29.
"We've had time to prepare, however, we are anxious to play," White said. "We're trying to keep that focus, and the girls have done a good job. It's been frustrating really wanting to play."
White Castle made short work of No. 11 Madison Prep 55-28 Monday night but realizes the scope of the challenge in front of them in having to defeat West St. John on the road.
Twins Skylar (17 points) and Shylar O'Bear (16 points) are the team's top scorers.
"It's tough to going over there, and we have never played very well on their home court," Pierce said. "It's kind of a rival game, and it means so much. We're looking forward to it."
Walker gets another opportunity to defeat Natchitoches Central after losing to the Chiefs 46-42 in the West Monroe tournament on Dec. 29.
The Wildcats were in control, holding a 15-point lead late in the third quarter before losing senior point guard Kasie Fountain to a torn meniscus.
Fountain is back and one of four double-digit scorers with 13.6 points per game, trailing senior center Jamie Gibson's 20.7.
"The kids are excited," said Arnold, whose team is bidding for a second straight trip to the quarterfinals. "They understand we've got to play better and a little smarter than we did the other nigh,t and I think we're more than capable of doing that."

Toyota of Puyallup
Review for Toyota of Puyallup
Brooklyn Y Y J. on 07/16/2013
"Great Customer Service!!"
I brought my new car in to get a protective coating on the inside and outside. It was a little crowded that Saturday morning as expected but all of the staff and even the mechanics were greeting us and they kept letting us know that someone would be right with us which was nice. They had a rental care person there from Enterprise ready to go for us and we were seriously in and out in 15 minutes. We were not expecting our car to be done until late afternoon but they were actually able to get us in a little earlier than expected and so the whole process only took half of the day instead of the whole day. Everyone was super pleasant and nice. I look forward to coming back for routine maintenance.

MAYOR David Rickard will be in the dark when he steps into the shoes of a blind person in Bridport.
The town's first citizen will be blindfolded and taken to various locations around town to gain an understanding of what life is like for blind and partially sighted people.
He will tackle the challenge as part of an event in Bucky Doo Square on Saturday October 13, from 9am to 12noon. The morning is part of Guide Dogs Week 2012 and Lion's Sight Day.
People will be able to meet guide dogs in training, browse stalls and try a short supervised walk under blindfold or in special glasses that simulate vision loss.
There will be children's activities and an information stall provided by the Bridport Lions Club. Dorset Blind Society will have a stall and the Guide Dogs charity is keen to talk to anyone interested in volunteering in Dorset.
Tim Stafford, Southampton mobility team manager said: "By coming along to meet Guide Dogs in Bucky Doo Square, people will be able to briefly step into the world of blind and partially sighted people."

This is the funniest thing you will see on the internet today.
We have seen multiple videos of dogs eating like human beings with hands but now there's a cute goat, Jemima trying to do the same. But the poor little creature fails hilariously in doing so.
First it starts eating the newspaper then it couldn't resist and start eating directly from the plate and at one point it even tries to bite one of the hands trying to feed the cute creature.
You could actually see how that poor guy inside that shirt must be feeling while the video was being captured!
I couldn't stop laughing even for a second while watching this video. Enjoy the video and share it with your friends as well.

Jewelry can subtly communicate its wearer's personality, with color representing mood, size corresponding to confidence, and charms spelling out what to prepare for dinner tonight. You are what you wear with today's Groupon: for $49, you get $150 worth of rings, pendants, and watches at Kiawah Fine Jewelry in Johns Island.
For more than two decades, the owners of Kiawah Fine Jewelry have brought exotic baubles to clients by amassing partners in the Caribbean and more than 20 cutting and manufacturing facilities worldwide. GIA-certified staff displays precious and semiprecious gemstones as brides-in-waiting peruse engagement rings brimming with Hearts On Fire diamonds, or tanzanites, among other choices. A pink sapphire ring flaunts a gold band chaperoned by an entourage of six diamonds ($895), and a tropical topaz ring ($109) rivals delicate Mikimoto pearl earrings ($210). Diamonds create glinting borders around citrine and purple amethyst pendants ($495), and watches from Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, and Michele murmur quiet ticks of contentment. Kiawah Fine Jewelry will also be dedicating three upcoming evenings to its sophisticated male clients. On December 6–8 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., a smorgasbord of complimentary beer, wine, appetizers, massages, and gilded toolsheds will await distinguished gents, along with door prizes from various watch vendors.
