Washington, DC–41Senate Democrats today sent the following letter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, urging him to put aside divisive partisan issues in favor of accomplishing real and substantial energy reform in the 109th Congress. With gas prices rising to near-record levels, Democrats believe the Senate has a responsibility to adopt fiscally responsible policies that will break America's dangerous addiction to oil, protect consumers from price gouging and market manipulation, invest in alternative sources of energy, and confront the problem of global climate change.
Democrats have offered the Clean EDGE Act, comprehensive legislation to put America on the path to energy independence, and have cosponsored numerous bipartisan legislative solutions to address the energy crisis. With the price of gas increasing and the time remaining for the 109th Congress to address the problem rapidly decreasing, Democrats believe it is time the Senate put aside partisanship and work to help all Americans.
The text of the letter is below.
July 20, 2006
The Honorable William H. Frist
Majority Leader
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Majority Leader Frist:
Energy prices continue to be of great concern to Americans — record fuel prices and growing supply volatility and unreliability are hurting consumers and the economy. Substantial and comprehensive changes to the nation's energy policy continue to be needed to improve our national security, promote economic growth, and protect consumers and the environment.
As you may be aware, approximately 100 energy-related bills and amendments have been introduced in the Senate since passage of last year's energy bill, by Senators of both parties. These include a number of significant proposals to improve the nation's energy policy that have been sponsored by numerous members of our caucus (for example, S.2829, the Clean EDGE Act of 2006), as well as a number of groundbreaking bipartisan proposals (for example, S.2025, the Vehicles and Fuels Choices for American Security Act, S.2747, the Enhanced Energy Security Act of 2006, or S.2677, the Securing America's Energy Independence Act). As many of us noted in a letter to the President on May 17, 2006, we are eager to work to increase America's energy security and independence.
The Senate can still accomplish significant energy policy changes this year, if it avoids getting bogged down in lengthy, unproductive debates on divisive issues, such as rolling back the environmental standards that protect the air we breathe and the water we drink. We believe this effort should begin with a set of core principles that can help America achieve forward-looking energy goals, and that can be embraced by Senators in both parties. We think that the following points summarize those core principles, and we stand ready to work with you to pass legislation that would reflect these principles:
- The Senate should take as its starting point the setting of a firm and actionable national goal to reduce our overall national dependence on petroleum, coupled with a serious strategy for achieving this goal. We believe that the President correctly observed last January that "America is addicted to oil," and that we need to work both to diversify our supplies of liquid fuels as well as to promote strong efficiency gains in our uses of petroleum, across the U.S. economy. Our suggested goal would be to reduce our dependence on petroleum by an amount equivalent to 40 percent of our projected level of imports by 2020.

A few months ago the Intellijel Plog caught my attention. It's a Logic module which I can't actually explain but in very quick terms takes signals, changes them and outputs different signals/gates according to "logic" aka math. You can then use the outputs in interesting ways. The complexity of the module scared me a little so I moved on. The Abstract Data ADE-31 Logic Boss is another Logic type of module. Its creator Justin Owen from London emailed me yesterday and we have been chatting about the module. One thing I really like about the ADE-31 is it's without any programming/preset buttons. It's one I/O panel prime for simple experimentation. It's modules like this that first really made me want to get into modulars. Watch the video above for more details. $225 available at Analogue Haven.
"Multi-stage, switchable logic and pattern-generation module combining utility and performance-oriented features. Up to 4 inputs and 12 simultaneous outputs in a unique cascading architecture with CV switching and linking between the 2 stages. Perform basic logic utility tasks, create complex patterns and create rhythmic variations via on-board or external CV control. LED status on all inputs and outputs for clear status indication. Power-supply protection. Shallow, skiff-friendly build.
Logic Types (Stage 1): NOR/OR, NAND/AND. Logic Types (Stage 2): NOR/OR, NAND/AND, XNOR/XOR. Inputs (Logic, CV, Audio): 4x AC/DC, Up to +/-10V Max. (3.5mm). Inputs (CV): 1x AC/DC, Up to +/-10V Max. (3.5mm). Outputs (Logic): 12x DC Logic +10V (3.5mm)" – abstractdata.biz

Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
I would highly suggest Modern Family. I think it's absolutely hilarious.
I'm also starting to get into How I Met Your Mother, once I understood what the premise was.
Mad Men is also a fantastic show.
I'll second Modern Family. It's a good show.
"Modern Family" is good stuff. I also think "Community" is pretty darn funny.
"The Wire" was stunningly good and I really enjoy "Breaking Bad," although it's not exactly uplifting. Bryan Cranston is terrific in it.
"I can make all the stadiums rock."
-Air Supply
I'll third Justified, it's definitely my favorite new show, although this week's episode is the season finale...
It's cheezy game show stuff, but I love watching idiots crash and burn on Wipeout...
Breaking Bad is a fantastic show. Probably the best show on TV since The Wire.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
"The Middle", "Modern Family", and "The Big Bang Theory" are all great 1/2 hour comedies.
"The Good Wife" is a very good hour drama with a great ensemble cast and multi-layered plots.
"Justified" is good, but its season wasn't quite long enough to gather a real head of steam.
And I'll have to turn in my man card, but I really liked "Glee" this season.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairytales
Lots of positivity on this thread about Breaking Bad. I guess I'll check it out.
I heard your record..it's alright.
Tough crowd or perhaps I am easily entertained. I watch a ton of shows when I have the time.
Criminal Minds
Lie To me
CSI (less since Grissom left and Warrick was gunned down, if Brass and/or Nick go I'm done)
White Collar
Burn Notice
Man Tracker
Survivor Man (though they don't make it anymore it's still interesting)
Man vs. Food
NCIS (from time to time)
And I like some of the reality stuff as well like Survivor above and the Ultimate Fighter on spike and the Real World/Road Rules challenges on MTV.
The one that got Cancelled that I really liked was Raising the Bar on TNT with Saved by the Bells Mark Paul Gossilier (Zach). Haven't had an opportunity to fit Justified in there but been meaning too I like Tim Olyphant especially when he was in Deadwood.
Have a tough time finding a good sitcom anymore, every once in a while I watch the George Lopez show in syndication, also watch reruns of Seinfeld (never watched it in primetime in it's heyday), Everybody loves Raymond and my favorite sitcom in recent memory King of Queens. The Office is ok sometimes as well.

Tailgating at Autzen and Reser: 'This is family... and just a lot of fun!'
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- The long wait for college football is finally over, and fans of both Oregon and Oregon State celebrated the season's return at their home stadiums.
Thousands of friends, family alumni and fans gathered together as one in the parking lots surrounding Reser and Autzen to root for their favorite team, in spite of the slight delays on the highways.
The Beavers opened their 2013 season against Eastern Washington, and Beaver nation was out in full force.
"I grew up in Corvallis and have probably been tailgating for 30 years," said Oregon State fan Scott Hildebrand. "This is family... and just a lot of fun!"
Even though the Beavers lost Saturday's game to the Eastern Washington Eagles 49-46, Oregon State fans said they will keep the tailgating tradition strong through the season.
Oregon kicked off its 2013 campaign at Autzen Stadium Saturday, and Duck fans celebrated the return of football season.
Duck-fan Roman Baszmiak said he's been counting down the days until Aug. 31.
"My wife especially has been going through withdrawls all summer," said Baszmiak. "It's a perfect day for a game and it's certainly not going to rain in Autzen Stadium today."

kayy wrote:I read and hear a lot of Buddhists talk about the world as "an illusion." What exactly does this mean? Am I right in thinking that it would be more accurate to say that our view of the world is an illusion (that is, unless you're a Buddha) ?
I fail to see how the world is an illusion. OK - nothing inherently exists in itself and independently of anything else, but I can tell you that my arms exist, this computer exists and the books on my desk exist, society exists, human beings exist. It's just the way we see them that is illusory, i.e. as permanent, inherent and so on.
Or have I totally missed something?
If my understanding is correct, why do people not amend their speech to be more accurate, i.e. "the way we see the world is an illusion"?
Goofaholix wrote:
Some Mahayanists say things along the lines of the the world being an illusion, I'm not sure whether this is what their teachings really say or whether they've misinterpreted them.
I don't think there is any support for this view in Theravada teachings, after all if it's all an illusion then why bother doing anything to improve it.
Just as a bubble may be seen,
just as a faint mirage,
so should the world be viewed
that the Death-king sees one not.

The following text also seems like a good reading:
Others already pointed out that there is no "world" for us apart from "the way we see the world", because everything is a matter of perception through the senses. What I would like to add is that maybe "existence" is not a good word either, because all we have is simply interdependence. I think it is hard to say that something really exists, while its existence can only be grasped in other things, whose existence can only be grasped in other things, whose existence can only be grasped in other things, whose existence can only be grasped in other things... So, there is no inherent existence in anything. It is tempting to contemplate on whether there is a ground at all for differentiating anything from anything (possibly starting at your own body and its surroundings).

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Borderline Personality Disorder
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) balance brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Balancing these brain chemicals can relieve symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Symptoms include feeling grouchy or angry, acting without thinking (being impulsive), and depression. footnote 1
Some examples of SSRIs that may be used to treat borderline personality disorder are:
- Citalopram (such as Celexa).
- Escitalopram (Lexapro).
- Fluoxetine (such as Prozac).
- Fluvoxamine (such as Luvox).
- Paroxetine (Paxil).
- Sertraline (Zoloft).
Side effects include:
- Nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or weight gain.
- Feeling anxious or irritable.
- Problems sleeping, or feeling drowsy.
- Loss of sexual desire or ability.
- Headaches or dizziness.
SSRIs can take several weeks to start working. But they may work sooner.
Never suddenly stop taking antidepressants. Many antidepressants should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping antidepressant medicines can cause negative side effects or a return of symptoms of borderline personality disorder.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk with your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
Taking triptans, used for headaches, with SSRIs or SNRIs (selective serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) can cause a very rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Sears Holdings will host its annual meeting on May 4, and attendees present will likely want to know how the company plans to improve sales and return to profitability under the leadership of its new CEO, Lou D'Ambrosio.
Ahead of the meeting, the company reported a same-store sales decline of 3.6% for its fiscal first quarter, which included a 1.6% decrease at its Kmart stores and a 5.2% decrease its Sears Domestic stores. According to the company, the comps decline was driven by poor performances in appliances, apparel and consumer electronics. The decline was offset by strong performances in home, sporting goods, jewelry and footwear.
Sears Holdings said it is expecting a first-quarter net loss of between $145 million and $195 million, or between $1.35 and $1.81 per diluted share. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the company reported net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders of $16 million, or 14 cents per diluted share.

John Pandol, special projects manager for Pandol Bros. Inc., Delano, Calif., expects a grape varietal mix out of Chile that's similar to last season's.
It's harder, Pandol said, for Chile to innovate too aggressively with new varieties because of regulatory hurdles.
"Introduction of new varieties has been slower in Chile than other places because the commercial conditions a grower must agree to are too expensive and restrictive."
That said, he does expect a continuation of a trend that began several years ago.
"There will be a continuation of thompsons going away, and there's no clear white grape to replace it," he said.
That's more true in Chile than in California and other growing regions, because of the country's reluctancy to move too quickly on new varieties, Pandol said.
While a replacement (or replacements) for the venerable thompsons will eventually be found, there's only one ongoing trial of a new green (or white) grape variety that Pandol knows about.
But when you look at the grape category as a whole, however, it's a different story.
"You have more and more people creating new varieties," he said. "Supply and demand will eventually flip-flop. There will be too many varieties chasing too few growers."
Thompson, flames, crimsons and sugraones will be the dominant varieties shipped from Chile to North America this season, said Karen Brux, North American managing director of the Sonoma, Calif.-based Chilean Fresh Fruit Association.
"Thompson and sugraone are available to the end of March, flames end a little sooner and crimsons are a late variety which run from January all the way through the marketing order," Brux said.

I'm glad that we gave the Basketball Jesus a well deserved birthday present last night.
He is easily one of the most important non-players in our franchise's history. He took us further as a head coach than anyone else in our NBA history, and over the last 5 years he basically saved the franchise with his incredible roster moves that have transformed us into a premier team once again.

18 April 2012
I have had this clothes airer for over two years. it is used almost every day. i have sons who play rugby or train almost every day lots of kits dry the next morning. plus towels. it also dries things not suitable for the tumbler. according to the fuel counter meter i got from the gas board it is 50% cheaper to use this than the tumble dryer for my laundry needs. I am sure it has probably paid for itself by now. i recommend it to every one.

So, what exactly did happen in the Soto forum in E-Sangha? Or does the dark shadow of E-Sangha extend even here so no one will talk about it?
I don't see E-Sangha as entirely bad, but their inability to accept criticism and openly discuss and debate the direction of their website with their members is what I find highly suspicious.

Im a member here and also at ZFI, buddhaforum and dharmawheel
The Mahayana sites i post in have always been very friendly and helpful, and i feel the same for mahayana followers who post here
I think this is because there is an understanding that each site is directed towards a particular tradition and understanding
So if one wants to discuss Theravada they can post here, if they want to discuss mahayana they can try the new site and so on for Zen etc
This way there is mutual respect for each other and friendly chat without any spats occuring based on a difference of views on the Buddhadhamma since one accepts what each site is geared towards and so its going to have a particular stance on certain things
I think this is the best way to go

This straight Razor dated 1919, is quite a fascinating piece that I purchased at a garage sale, simply because of it's possible novelty factor. The razor measures about 3.5 inches long folded and has a carved bakelite handle. The inscription on the blade reads compliments of GE Winton Company.
The leather case reads "The Challenge Cutlery Company, Bridgeport, CT"
I purchased this at a garage sale in Fairfield, Connecticut. GE Headquarters is located in Fairfield, so I believe it has something to do with General Electric or one of their brands from that decade. I only know that Winton appeared to be a railroad company.
If anyone has any historical background about this piece and how GE and Winton were tied together, I would be super appreciative for you input! Thanks, Shelly

Random thoughts for a Tuesday morning, ready to embark on the delayed vacation, wondering whatever happened to John Bello, a two-time CIF-SS discus winner (1995 and 1996) from Rancho Cucamonga High School.
Less than a month before her first class at USC, Gabriella Then of Rancho Cucamonga earned an "A" by defeating Lakareber Abe, 2 and 1, to win the 2013 U.S. Girls' Junior Championship at Sycamore Hills Golf Club at Fort Wayne, Ind.
The 17-year-old, who dropped five strokes in 13 holes, refused to crumble under the pressure and clinched the victory with a birdie on the 35th of the 36-hole final on the 6,312-yard, Jack Nicklaus designed-course.
"I finally did it, a USGA championship," said Then, competing in her 11th USGA championship. "To be able to have my game where it is right now and be able to make it this far is great."
Then never trailed in her six matches, and was only all square for 17 of her 117 holes. She earned an exemption into the 2013 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, set for Aug. 5-11 at the Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina.
Then's family – parents Andre and Maya, younger sister Angella (who lost in the first round) – were on hand. Andre dropped to his knees in tears when his daughter made an excellent approach shot to the final hole. …
All it takes is one game, as Cajon High School alumnus Aaron Brooks will attest. Brooks, who also played at Cal State San Bernardino, had been struggling of late in the Texas League, surrendering 17 runs in four games.
However. pitching for the Royals' Double A affiliate Northwest Arkansas, Brooks threw a complete game shutout – four hits, no walks, five strikeouts – against Arkansas to be named pitcher of the week.
Brooks improved to 5-3 and lowered his ERA to 4.55. He started the season at High-A, but was promoted midway through the season. …
Wayne Moses, the San Dimas High School graduate who later played football at Chaffey College and Washington, can be found these days on the banks of the Hudson in New York. The veteran football assistant coach is at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
He's been in the business for more than 30 years, starting at Cal State Fullerton in 1979, and has worked with Terry Donahue, Pete Carroll, Jim Lambright, Steve Mariucci, Rick Harris and Rick Neuheisel and 13 bowl teams. He's also coached in the NFL.
"I am excited about this opportunity to work with America's finest young men," said Moses, who arrived on campus in January. "And also have a chance to beat Navy." …
The Ontario Fury is picking up steam. The indoor soccer team unveiled its logo and colors last week and has announced its home debut on Oct. 26 at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
Bernie Lilavois' squad will host a preseason game against Toros Mexico. The Tijuana team is the lone Professional Arena Soccer League action outside the U.S.
"For us to get a team with a following as big as Toros Mexico for our first-ever game is just icing on the cake," said Lilavois. …
Jake Newton is returning to the Inland Empire, having signed a deal with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL. Newton, the San Jacinto defenseman who signed with the Ducks in 2010, played in Italy with the HC Eppan Pirates last season and was named the league's best player and helped the team win the Italy2 championship.
"It was a great experience but I wanted to be with my family," said Newton. "We won the championship last year and it's such a great feeling to win.
"I have good feelings about coming back to the states to play. I'm really grateful and fortunate for coach (Jason) Christie and coach (Mark) Hardy to give me the opportunity to play back home in the IE." …
Quit wondering whatever happened to Alyssa Davila, the former Upland High School and USC soccer standout. She's still playing at the Arena indoor facility in Upland.
"It's competitive and so fun, just the right balance!" said Alyssa. "I feel so blessed to have been a member of such successful teams throughout my soccer career."
She works at a charter school and does behavior intervention for children with special needs. Recently engaged to Konrad Norris, they will soon be relocating to the greater Cincinnati area where he will be working.
"What more can I say other than God continues to bless, provide and display his faithfulness in my life?," she said. And, with that attitude, she just might run across fellow USC alum Anthony Munoz, a rock in that community. …
The Quakes and LoanMart have joined forces for three $1,000 scholarship for a student in the graduating class of a local high school, who is a U.S. citizen and a resident within a specific area of San Bernardino County.
Deadline for the LoanMart Scholarship Program is Aug. 16. Scholarship, leadership, community involvement and character are among the criteria for the scholarships that will be awarded late in the season.
Applications for the award are on the Quakes website. …
On a personal note: It was heartwarming to see where the Department of Fish and Wildlife presented its highest civilian award to the late Mike Raahauge, who passed away in May.
The owner of Mike Raahauge Shooting Enterprises was dedicated to hunter education programs and his annual Youth Safari Day further promoted the safety aspect of the sport.
Thousands of first-time hunters and shooters got their start on the Norco riverbed, including this writer. Scoring six of 10 skeet targets on the first try is still a highlight, with plenty of help and encouragement from Mike.

The NRA can't rely on truth to support their positions so they resort to such blatant lies that even a far right publication has to call them out on it…
Addicting Info
Whatever side of the gun control debate you're on, everyone can agree: there's something different this time. Whether we've reached a tipping point and we are collectively tired of the unnecessary violence or the crime was so shocking that it can not be rationalized, it's clear that the usual bag of NRA tactics is not working.
Nothing has made this more clear than the outright rebellion from reliable right-wing sources. The New York Post labeled NRA Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre a "Gun Nut." Fox News has been uncharacteristically subdued and now, even Newsmax, a website known only for being an outlet for right-wing propaganda has turned its back on the NRA in a bit of rarely seen journalistic integrity:
Israel's policy on issuing guns is restrictive, and armed guards at its schools are meant to stop terrorists, not crazed or disgruntled gunmen, experts said Monday, rejecting claims by America's top gun lobby that Israel serves as proof for its philosophy that the U.S. needs more weapons, not fewer.
Far from the image of a heavily armed population where ordinary people have their own arsenals to repel attackers, Israel allows its people to acquire firearms only if they can prove their professions or places of residence put them in danger. The country relies on its security services, not armed citizens, to prevent terror attacks.
This is not a right-wing knee jerk defense of Israel in any sense. It is simply a statement of reality that stands in stark contrast to the NRA's Wild, Wild west fantasy. Newsmax goes on:
"Israel had a whole lot of school shootings until they did one thing: They said, 'We're going to stop it,' and they put armed security in every school and they have not had a problem since then," LaPierre said on the NBC News show "Meet the Press."
Israel never had "a whole lot of school shootings." Authorities could only recall two in the past four decades.
Israel didn't mandate armed guards at the entrances to all schools until 1995, the Education Ministry said — more than two decades after the Maalot attack and two years after a Palestinian militant wounded five pupils and their principal in a knifing at a Jerusalem school.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor spelled it out.
"We're fighting terrorism, which comes under very specific geopolitical and military circumstances. This is not something that compares with the situation in the U.S," Palmor said.
The only terror we're fighting on American soil is the one instilled by groups like the NRA itself. Newsmax goes on to fully describe how superior Israel's gun policies are in relation to America's in the sense that the Israelis take the time to know who is buying a gun, why and to check whether they are a risk to public safety. All of this would be considered "tyranny" but gun "rights" advocates. It's OK for the rest of the country to live in fear of the next gun massacre as long as a well-funded minority tells us they have the right to buy as many guns as they want.
This particular episode of America's addiction to guns has not yet played itself out and the NRA may yet prevail with its bag of distractions and nonsense. This time, though, it will not be with quite the same amount of automatic support from the usual suspects. Hopefully that means the tide is finally turning and America can reverse the "shoot first, ask never" mentality that has overtaken us.

Coalition promises no 'nasty surprises'
Tony Abbott tells hundreds of Coalition faithful at their campaign launch in Brisbane on Sunday that he will spend money wisely if elected Prime Minister.
Speaking at the Coalition campaign launch in Brisbane on Sunday, Mr Abbott said the poll offered a choice between ''the Liberal and National parties' positive plans for the future'' and ''more of the same from a confused and chaotic Labor Party."
"We are a great country and a great people but we can't afford another three years like the last six."
"Yes, we need a new way but to get a new way we have to choose a new government: a new government with a positive plan to restore the hope, reward and opportunity that should be your birth right."
Mr Abbott made three new commitments.
In a pitch to to young voters, he promised a scheme to provide $20,000 interest-free loans to help apprentices in areas of skill shortage buy tools and equipment.
In a bid for the vote of older Australians, Mr Abbott promised to index eligibility thresholds for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card so that more self-funded retirees could access cheaper medicines, as well as promising a Coalition government would provide $200 million for dementia research.
Mr Abbott said on day one of a Coalition government, he would instruct the public service to prepare legislation to repeal the carbon tax, and give the directions to start Operation Sovereign Borders, the Coalition's military-led plan to combat people smuggling.
By the end of a Coalition government's first term, Mr Abbott said the budget would be ''on-track to a believable surplus''.
''Within a decade, the budget surplus will be 1 per cent of GDP, defence spending will be 2 per cent of GDP, the private health insurance rebate will be fully restored, and each year, government will be a smaller percentage of our economy,'' Mr Abbott said.
Mr Abbott promised a ''no surprises, no excuses'' government.
''This election is all about trust,'' he said.
''Who do you trust to reduce power prices and gas prices? Trust the party that will abolish the carbon tax, not the one that inflicted it on you.''
''Who do you trust to stop the boats? Trust the party that solved the problem, not the one that started it up again.''
Mr Abbott said Prime Minister Kevin Rudd never spoke about his record because he knew his government had failed and was running ''the most dishonest election campaign in our history''.
''He knows that the carbon tax has been a disaster – that's why he's faked abolishing it.''
''He knows that the Labor Party has become a national embarrassment – that's why he's faked reforming it.''
''He says that a Coalition government would sack nurses and teachers even though we don't employ any ... and sell schools and hospitals ... even though we don't own any.''
Mr Abbott closed with a pitch to voters who did not normally vote for the Coalition.
''To Labor voters wondering why your party has sold its soul to the Greens; to Green voters wondering why your party has embraced socialism over environmentalism; to independent voters wondering why your MP has sided with a bad government, to everyone who has been let down and embarrassed by the circus in Canberra, I say: give my team a chance.''
''We have the plan, we have the team and we are ready.''
''For your family's sake, for our country, join us.''
Mr Abbott was introduced by his daughters Frances and Bridget, who said he was a ''netball dad'' who would watch his daughters play for Forest Netball Club and yell from the sidelines: ''Run Forest, run.''
''My dad looks out for everyone, and I know that he will look out for you,'' Frances said.
Bridget said her father said ''Politics isn't about the politician, it's about the people you help.''
''You have to get out there and have a go, just as he's always done, and that is why we're so proud of him,'' she said.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman kicked off the launch with a rallying cry to ''elect a grown up government,'' with ''a real plan for the nation's future'' which would give the nation a ''fresh start''.
The Liberals deputy leader, Julie Bishop, took the opportunity to refer to the resignations of ministers that followed Kevin Rudd's return to the Labor leadership, saying even Mr Rudd's colleagues said he was not fit for the job of prime minister.
''If his own party don't believe in Kevin Rudd, and they've sacked him once, why should the Australian people ever trust him with the top job again?'' Ms Bishop said.
Ms Bishop said "the trouble with Kevin is he's a fake - all these multiple personalities''.
In contrast, she said Mr Abbott was ''the real deal,'' who spent his own time volunteering in remote indigenous communities and as a volunteer firefighter because he wanted to improve the nation.
''You can believe him when he says he wants to build a better and fairer Australia as prime minister.''
She said unlike Labor, the Coalition was united behind its leader.
''Tony Abbott's team want to work with him,'' she said.
In his address, Nationals leader Warren Truss said Labor had ignored regional Australia.
''Julia's idea of an expedition into the country is to spend a few days in western Sydney,'' he said.
''As for Kevin, he prefers to see the country from 30,000 feet while he's on his way to another country.''
The Coalition is in a commanding position as it enters the final two weeks of the campaign, with the latest Fairfax/Nielsen poll showing the Coalition leading Labor 53-47 on a two-party-preferred basis.
Labor campaign spokesman Mark Dreyfus responded to the Liberal Party's launch, saying Mr Abbott had failed to detail how he would pay for his promises.
''Mr Abbott will condemn Australians to a generation of cuts if he is elected to office,'' Mr Dreyfus told reporters in Melbourne.
''Tony Abbott failed to come clean on where the cuts that he is planning are going to fall."
When interviewed on Channel Ten on Sunday before the launch, Mr Abbott said he was taking nothing for granted.
"Yes, there's a sense in which this election should rest on the last six years, more than the next fortnight, but as they say, a week is a hell of a long time in politics. A fortnight is an eternity."
Kevin Rudd will officially launch Labor's campaign next Sunday, also in Brisbane. Labor need to seize several Coalition-held seats in Queensland in order to form government.

Curious how much variety people use in their sitting practice.
Do you basically do the same type of meditation every day, or different types on different days, or do you have a routine daily practice that you'll sometimes take a break from and do another type for a day, a week, etc?
I sit anapanasati every morning, and on the weekends I'll have a second sit for metta bhavana (and some weeknights as well). Sometimes on the weekends I'll have a longer sit and meditate on all 4 brahma-viharas. I've been thinking recently that I need to branch out a little and start incorporating other types of meditation like Buddhanussati but haven't really done so yet. The vast majority of my practice is plain old attention on the breath.
What is your sitting routine, variations, etc?

BOSTON—After Bryan Bickell tied Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night, Dave Bolland came onto the ice to take the next face-off.
With 1:16 remaining in the third period, he was ready to help the Chicago Blackhawks finish a championship run. He just thought it might take a little longer than it did.
"We knew we were going to win it," Bolland said. "Maybe not in regulation, but we knew we were going to win it."
MORE: Blackhawks' fevered comeback | Best photos | Box score
Thanks to Bolland, the Blackhawks did win it in regulation. It took 17 seconds after that faceoff, which Bolland won from David Krejci, for the center to join the club of players who have scored Stanley Cup-winning goals, when he turned a rebound of Michael Frolik's shot into a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins, and a 4-2 series win.
"We all dream about scoring that Stanley Cup winner to hoist the Cup," Bolland said. "So check that one off the bucket list."
It's a motley crew that Bolland joined, one that includes Wayne Gretzky, Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, and Bobby Orr, along with Uwe Krupp, Mush March, and Metro Prystai. Last year, it was Jeff Carter, and before that Patrice Bergeron, and Patrick Kane. Bolland fits the mold more of recent members like Max Talbot, Travis Moen, and Frantisek Kaberle.
Yes, Bolland is the future answer to a trivia question, but he can always say he did something that Mario Lemieux and Bobby Hull could not. One player a year gets to check off that super-specialized bucket list item, and this time, it's Bolland.
MORE: Bergeron's injury list is amazing | Keith brings baby on ice
He already had the big one handled. It's really enough to win the Cup-something Bolland now has done twice, but which Michal Handzus had not. The 36-year-old center has played 950 career regular-season games, and another 97 in the playoffs. He only got to Chicago in April, traded from San Jose for a fourth-round pick.
Not long after Jonathan Toews accepted the Cup from Gary Bettman, he gave it to Handzus. That handoff ended a lifetime of waiting.
"It's tough to get it, and when you get it, you enjoy it, that's for sure," Handzus said. "You've got to play to the end and you've got to believe. We got good bounces, but every champion has good bounces, and we are happy. Johnny came to me in the morning and said I would get it second after him. It showed the leadership in here. It showed the team, they're a great bunch of guys—we care for each other, and it showed what kind of team it is here. It's an honor."
Handzus then passed the Cup to 38-year-old winger Jamal Mayers, who gave it to the next longest-tenured Blackhawks player without a Cup win, defenseman Michal Rozsival, a veteran of 783 regular-season and 75 playoff games. Rozsival had gotten to the Western Conference finals with the Phoenix Coyotes a year ago, and signed with the Blackhawks as a free agent because he liked their chances. His hunch paid off in an absolute blur of a finish.
"It happened so quick at the end, I don't even know what happened," Rozsival said. "I don't even know who scored the goals. So much happened, it was so much celebration, and it was chaos on the bench and all of a sudden, everybody was resting and preparing for overtime when we tied the game. All of a sudden, we scored. It was just happiness everywhere. Amazing! Amazing!"
It was an amazing season for the Blackhawks, one that started with 24 consecutive games'half the lockout-shortened regular season—without Chicago suffering a loss in regulation. The Blackhawks were a team with a lot of star power, led by Toews, the captain and Selke Trophy winner, and Kane, the Conn Smythe Trophy winner. But they also were a deep team, one that got game-winning goals from 10 different players in 16 playoff victories.
The Blackhawks bolstered the salary cap-decimated 2010 championship core by bringing in veterans like Handzus and Rozsival, but also by building from within. Only two players from the second through seventh rounds of the 2011 draft have made it into the NHL, and both were key parts of Chicago's title run: second-round pick Brandon Saad and fourth-rounder Andrew Shaw. They will never experience the wait that Handzus and Rozsival did, because their dream has already come true.
"It's really a storybook ending," Saad said. "It's been a phenomenal year, and what a way to end it. The emotions were up and down all game. We didn't start off the way we wanted, and they scored a goal, but we stayed positive and battled through it, and made huge plays to come back. It really was a storybook year, just trying to make the team this year, with the year I had, playing with this unbelievable team, and getting my name on the Cup, it's unbelievable."

PERSHORE Hockey Club were held 2-2 at home by third-placed Atherstone Adders in West Midlands Division Two after conceding a last-gasp equaliser.
The solid defence of Rob Smith, Luke Dalley, Mike Doust and Andy Gardiner impressed in the first-half with Gareth Rushton opening the scoring with a penalty flick.
Tireless running from captain Russell Scudamore, Jake Doney and Rushton in midfield could not produce a second goal.
Atherstone pressed in the second period and equalised from a short-corner strike.
Pershore, who visit Droitwich on Saturday, persevered and link-up play from Russell McGettigan and Paul Grummitt allowed Karl Lawson to slot home.
But Atherstone levelled with the final hit of the game from a short corner.
A weakened Pershore seconds team crashed 6-1 at promotion-chasing Market Drayton.
Gary Stevenson and Simon Gardener defended well, while Ali Sanderson grabbed a late consolation goal.
Pershore women crashed 6-0 at leaders Harborne seconds in Worcestershire League Division One.
Keeper Cat Pinney kept the hosts out until they scored three quick goals in the last 10 minutes of the first-half.
Pershore strived to keep Harborne at bay but shipped three more goals from short-corner routines.
They host Redditch on Saturday (1.30pm).

LYE Town are now back in the driving seat as they look to be crowned West Midlands Premier champions.
They are back on top of the table with just two games left to play after bagging back-to-back league wins this week.
They have showed their character by bouncing back from last week's 3-2 away defeat to mid-table side Bewdley Town.
Town responded with a vengeance by brushing aside Wellington 6-0 last Saturday. A brace from Ricky Anslow and other goals from Ben Jevons and James Spray and substitutes Shane Grainger and Kevin Nickle gave them a comfortable away win.
They then earned a crucial 2-1 victory over fifth-placed Sport Khalsa on Tuesday night to ensure themselves a slender one point lead at the top as the season comes to the boil.
Lye will have two home fixtures as they look to secure title glory. The will take on Willenhall Amateurs this Saturday before playing Dudley Town at the Sports Ground on May 1.

Business and Management Studies (MSc by Research) 2017-18This course also available for 2018-19 entry
The Research Degree
A Master's by Research (MSc) allows you to undertake a one year (full time) research degree. It contains little or no formal taught component. This type of study gives you the chance to explore a research topic over a shorter time than a more in-depth doctoral programme.
Research Master's degrees are also ideal for individuals who are in industrial or commercial employment and who wish to undertake Research and Development on a part-time basis to solve problems or develop enhancements for their work purposes. In such cases it is generally possible to construct a Master's by Research project whereby the candidate works closely with one or more members of University staff who provide the specialist knowledge and supervisory input, whilst enabling the candidate to access the vast equipment and information resources of the University.
Research Master's students choose a specific project to work on and have a greater degree of independence in their work than is the case with a taught Master's course.
You'll be expected to work to an approved programme which you will develop in conjunction with your supervisor within the first few months of starting your studies. Whilst undertaking the research project, you will also have the opportunity to develop your research skills by taking part in training courses and events.
At the end of the project, you will write up your findings in the form of a short thesis of around 25,000 words, which will then be examined.
On successful completion, you will be awarded your degree and if you have enjoyed this taste of research, you may then decide to apply for the full doctoral research degree (PhD).
Start date:
This research degree has multiple possible start dates including:
18 / 09 / 2017
08 / 01 / 2018
16 / 04 / 2018
Your start date may be decided in agreement with your supervisor.
The maximum duration for a full time MSc by Research is 12 months with an optional submission pending (writing up period) of 4 months.
Sometimes it may be possible to mix periods of both full-time and part-time study.
Entry requirements
The normal entry requirements for enrolment on a MSc by Research is an Honours degree (2:1 or above) in a discipline appropriate to the proposed programme to be followed or an equivalent professional qualification.
For applicants whose first language or language of instruction is not English you will need to meet the minimum requirements of an English Language qualification (the minimum of IELTS 6.5 overall with no element lower than 6.0, or equivalent will be considered acceptable).
Further information on international entry requirements and English language entry requirements is available on our international webpages

McAllister arms Indians in shutout of Athletics
Righty goes 7 2/3 scoreless as sacrifice fly provides winning margin
CLEVELAND -- Indians manager Terry Francona sat inside the interview room on Tuesday night, attempting to answer questions over the rap music that blared from inside the team's clubhouse across the hall. He allowed himself to smirk.
Under the circumstances, Francona did not mind the celebratory inconvenience.
"I'm not necessarily sure I like the words to that song," Francona said. "But I like when it's playing."
With wins comes loud music, and the Tribe has had its playlist on repeat lately. The Indians' latest victory was of the 1-0 variety over the A's at Progressive Field, where right-hander Zach McAllister paved the way to the win column with a stellar performance. Cleveland's potent lineup took a breather, giving the rotation a night in the spotlight.
The Indians (16-14) have pieced together eight wins in their past nine games, pounding out at least six runs in each of the previous seven victories. Hidden beneath the pile of runs recently scored by the Indians, however, has been a string of solid pitching performances.
McAllister was detemined to keep that trend going.
"It's exciting," McAllister said. "Every one of us wants to go out there and pitch better than the guy in front of them. It's a friendly competition."
McAllister (3-3, 2.63 ERA) followed Ubaldo Jimenez's solid showing on Monday (5 2/3 innings and two runs allowed) by blanking the A's over 7 2/3 superb frames. The big right-hander had strong command of his fastball, kept hitters honest with his slider and mixed in a few splitters, which is a pitch he has been fine-tuning this season.
Oakland (18-16), which is tied with the Astros for the most offensive shutouts (four) this season, never had a runner in scoring position in the ballgame. Only once against McAllister -- Derek Norris in the third inning -- did the A's have a hitter work into a 2-0 count. The Tribe starter finished with 111 pitches, five singles surrendered, four strikeouts and one walk.
"He ran the game," Francona said.
In the season's first 21 games, the Indians' starting staff went a combined 5-13 with a bloated 5.72 ERA. Things have changed dramatically over the past nine games, dating back to Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Royals on April 28. Since then, Cleveland's rotation has combined to go 7-1 with a 2.50 ERA (16 earned runs in 57 2/3 innings).
"I think every team looks good when it goes like that," said Indians closer Chris Perez, who collected his fourth save in the win. "We knew coming out of Spring Training what we'd have to do to be a successful team. We knew we had a pretty good offense on paper. We knew our bullpen should be fine.
"It was going to be the starters. We needed one or two of them to step up and I think Mac has definitely done that. He's answered the bell. Tonight, he was phenomenal."
If the box score allowed it, Indians catcher Yan Gomes might also be credited with a save.
In the ninth inning, A's center fielder Yoenis Cespedes reached base with a one-out single off Perez and then tried to steal second base. Gomes caught the closer's pitch and sprung from his crouch, firing a perfect throw to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera at second base for a critical out.
"That was one of the better throws," Francona said. "He got a good pitch to throw and he came out like he wanted to throw him out. That's impressive."
Perez said Gomes' throw changed the entire strategy of the game's conclusion.
Gifted with a second out, Perez needed just one more strike to seal the victory. Oakland first baseman Brandon Moss swung through a 93-mph fastball from the closer to end the game.
"In a one-run game, there's one or two plays that stick out," Perez said. "[Gomes' throw] was a huge one. That obviously changed the whole inning. ... It was a laser. Right on the bag. Right on the money."
The Indians' offense went quiet against Oakland left-hander Tommy Milone (3-4), who allowed just the one unearned run and finished with five strikeouts, no walks and five hits allowed. The one run represented the fewest for the Indians since the club was blanked by the Royals in the first game of the April 28 twin bill.
Fortunately for the Tribe, McAllister did not require much support.
In the fifth inning, Carlos Santana chopped a pitch from Milone to Moss, who bobbled the grounder for an error. On the play, second baseman Eric Sogard gloved the ball, but made an errant throw toward first base, allowing Santana to easily advance to second. Three batters later, Gomes brought Santana home with a sacrifice fly to put the A's down, 1-0.
The way McAllister pitched, that was all the Tribe needed to crank the volume on the clubhouse stereo.
"We had a sac fly," Francona said, "and you hear the music playing."
