I could mix and match all of them except Lou and Mahinmi and not care to much about it.
Losing DC is a downgrade. I think it's apparent DC is significantly better than Augustine. So far, Dahntay/Barbosa seems as though they would be more solid than Green but the verdict is still out. Mahimni is an upgrade over Lou. The major issue here is the loss of DC.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
I've said all along that I was disappointed in how DW spent our cap space and that this bench was a wash the players we lost. Ian is an upgrade over Lou but that alone doesn't mean giving him a 4 year deal was a good idea. We lost Barbosa and Jones as wing players and gained Green, I think overall that's a step down while I know most on here think that's an improvement. DC is absolutely a better PG then DJ and he's also cheaper and on a 1 year contract as well, I don't even see the distribution part coming out of DJ yet. Overall what we gained in Ian is lost in the other moves and considering we could have just signed Ian and kept the other players, that sucks. We also lost chemistry for no good reason if everything is a wash. I don't think any of that is an over reaction.
The problem is I don't miss any of the players we "got rid of". However I am after 3 games not excited about any of the new players we brought in.
The fact that Green is a great dunker means nothing to me. I worry that he has no idea how to play a team game. Not that he is selfish, but he just seems like he has no clue what he is doing.
Lance has played well but he's been here.
We have no choice however we are stuck with who we brought in and they could play better once they get settled in
UB, I think the wing players, as a unit, will look a lot better when Danny returns. Right now we've got Paul as the #1 wing, and through three games I'd say that either Lance or Sam is our second best wing. Long term, that's not going to cut it. That's got to be one of the weakest wing lineups in the league without Danny.
Gerald Green looks lost with the starters. I'd suggest moving Sam or Lance into the starting lineup right now to let Green play with the second unit.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
I think Mahinmi is definitely an upgrade over Lou, Green is more athletic but Barbosa is a smarter player (most of the time). DJ vs DC is kind of a draw, though DC was much more solid defensively and made more hustle plays. Essentially Lance took Dahntay's spot and although he's had a couple solid games and did well on Saturday, I really miss Jones. He could make plays offensively when he wanted to and is one of the best wing defenders in the league. The second unit last year had less talent, but was scrappy as hell, and that's what I loved about it.
Forever struggling to convince myself "In Larry we trust"
Writer at NoseBleedSectionSports.com
1. Green played in only 31 games on a terrible team (more opportunities to score), but with a great PG (even more opportunities to score), so I wouldn't get to hyped up with his scoring last year
2. Dahntay Jones actually averaged 10.2 ppg in 76 games in 2009/2010 with the Pacers, so he actually was a double figure scorer in a lot more games then Green
3. Regardless of 1 and 2, Green may well be the better player, but he's not really replacing Jones, so the comparison is pretty pointless. Green is more of Barbosas replacement rather then Jones (who is basically replaced by Young)
By the way here are the bench players the Pacers bench players are going to probably play against on the playoffs:
Miami: Mike Miller, Haslem, Battier, Allen, Lewis, Cole, Joel Anthony.
Boston: Barbosa, Green, Terry, Sullinger, Wilcox, Bradley, Melo.
Brooklyn: Reggie Evans, CJ Watson, Brooks, Teletovic.
New York: Kidd, Novak, Camby, Shumpert, Kurt, Brewer, Prigioni.
Atlanta: Pachulia, Harris, Korver, Morrow, Farmar, Ivan, Petro, Stevenson.
The Pacers bench at least in paper is on the bottom compared to eastern conference top teams, Philly has the worst bench in my opinion.
Green has never played a meaningful game or on a good team. I mean the dude has only been in the rotation twice in the NBA and they were both high lottery teams where guys just went out and got theirs. That was the reason I wasn't so high on the guy and I have to be proved wrong come playoff time that he can play in meaningful games.I dodnt ***** about it because his contract is really team friendly however im not expecting much the guy has never been there at any level.
It's been 3 games. They are new players to the team.
Perspective, folks.
I may be wrong but wasn't all the talk during training camp about Green was that he was a terrific passer?
That's fair. I think in limited minutes Saturday night he looked more comfortable with the second unit than with the first unit.
Its a valid question, does he actually know how to play the game period? Sure, he's got mad skillzz, but that doesn't always translate to disciplined 5-on-5. He doesn't seem to know how to make contributions while being a complimentary player, and that's not going to work with the first unit where he's clearly the fifth option.

Championships are won because of stars and great players, NOT because of that team's bench. Never understood the mindset thinking if we just add to our bench we can suddenly compete against LeBron and Wade. We'll compete against them if we ever attained a marquee player.
I will miss DC cause he is better then what he was here and I think he will become a top 10 PG in the league.
I would like to have seen Pends get dealt with the rest of them.
Great off season moves by the FO.
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL

From 1980 to today, other than the 2004 Pistons, name for me just one team to win a title without a legitimate superstar......... Stars win titles, not bench players.
Rondo, Paul, Williams, Irving, Westbrook, Parker, Lawson, Curry, Lillard....heck he wasn't even better than Hill.
I don't think DC will ever be more than average starter and really good backup. Too small, not enough court vision to be anything more.
And that's NO disrespect to DC at all whatsoever. But he was given MORE than enough chances to become something special/worth building around at the PG position and he didn't get it done.

He'll probably never be Top 10 in the league, but that speaks more to the amount of talent at that position than any of DC's own shortcomings (which are well-documented on this forum). I agree with Pacer Fan in that he will almost definitely perform better in Dallas' offense than he did here. I'd be surprised if the stats don't favor Collison over George Hill at season's end (our "offense" doesn't flatter the PG), but I won't ruminate on his departure much more than I already have. If you believe in fit over talent, then we made an acceptable decision in keeping Hill. Paying him $40 million...well, that's another story.
In an unrelated aside, I think we owe some of Lance's maturation to Dahntay Jones, who seemed to be the closest with him last season (on the bench, if nothing more).

i agree 100% with this entire post. Collison should have a chance to do as well as possible for him there in Dallas.

text: Houston trades #26 and 2013 4th round pick to St. Louis for #33 and #39. Houston does it because St. Louis sees Fleener available at #26 and wants to pair him with Bradford. The Texans do it because it's a great deal for them. So: #33 - Nick Perry, OLB. He is our Mario replacement and can help in depth if Reed or Barwin go down. #39 - Rueben Randle, WR. I hope he falls to this pick, but I have a feeling he will not. But if he is, the Texans better run up to the podium as soon as they are on the clock. #58 - Mike Adams, OT. Yeah yeah, you might think he will be long gone, but i think he will drop a lot because of his weed issues. #76 - Trumaine Johnson, CB/S. I believe Mayock is high on this kid and you know Rick Smith loves his mid round CB's #99 - Sean Spence, ILB. I do not see value with this pick so I guess Spence is BPA. #121 - Ryan Broyles, WR. Before tearing hid ACL, Broyles was a high 2nd round pick. He might not be the fastest kid around the block, but he can catch return punts. I hope the Texans give him a chance. #161 - Cyrus Gray, RB. I would be jumping up and down if he becomes a Texan. He played in a ZBS at A&M and would replace Derrick Ward. Next year, the Texans could trade Tate for high picks to replace some of their free agents. #195 - David Molk, C. I think he is on 80% of all mock drafts for the Texans. All he has to do is bulk up a few pounds, and he will be a great back up to Myers. #223 - Randy Bullock, K. They get their Kicker but I would not be surprised if they re sign Rackers to give the kid some competition. UDFA's - Ellison, Hanna, Fuller, and Burfict.

Four Quick Questions
What is your approach to working with a new client?
I simply try to be as honest as I can. The beginning of a new business relationship is a lot like dating; it's going to go a whole lot better if you can cut through the crap and be open to really communicating. When I come across someone who wants to approach every meeting as a hostile negotiation, we usually end up walking away from the project, because I know we are not going to be in a position to produce successful work.
What are some of your goals for Station Four?
We're working on a fairly large application for managing our workflow and communication with clients called Lifecycle that I think will be huge for us. We're also looking to bring in some more talented designers and developers to increase the diversity of perspectives and technologies that we apply to our work.
What's your next racing goal?
I'd like to do a half-ironman in 2014 and perhaps a marathon between then and now. I had planned on doing a 70.3 this year but ended up putting my training on hold as my wife and I prepared for our first child. I'm just getting back into my regimen now.
How is fatherhood treating you?
It's been wonderful. My son Ashe was born April 21st of last year and my wife, Jessica, has been amazing. He's just about 14 months old now and is starting to walk all about.

BRENTWOOD — Edna Hill Middle School teacher Traci Kemper takes comfort in knowing that some students will remain with her during all three years at the school.
Through the school's daily advisory class, Kemper said that Edna Hill teachers and students form a close bond that is similar to a family because they remain in that class from the sixth through eighth grades. Kemper has been on the downtown Brentwood campus for 13 years and said that it didn't used to have a class that addressed life skills, study habits and character building.
"At one time, we were missing that student advocacy and developmental responsiveness piece," said the language arts and social studies teacher. "It gives kids someone they feel they can connect with."
The advisory program is one of the reasons that Edna Hill has been selected as a California and National Schools to Watch Model Middle School for the third time. The school's first designation with this honor occurred in 2007, and it has been re-designated every three years since then, in 2010 and recently for 2013.
Edna Hill Principal Kirsten Jobb said that Schools to Watch campuses are those that strive for excellence by utilizing the most researched educational practices. Only 36 California schools were awarded this honor, and the nearest one is in Castro Valley, Jobb noted.
"We keep building that momentum. We have an exceptional culture at our school that we want to keep getting better and reflecting on what we want to work on," she said. "This program is built to recognize high-performing schools that want to build the whole child piece."
Jobb added that Edna Hill has done that through promoting school pride, teachers and staff modeling positive character traits, setting both behavioral and academic goals and providing an adult advocate for every child on campus through the advisory class.
She said that leading an advisory class is one of the best parts of her day in being able to talk about character and encourage journal writing and reflection for the students.
"Kids come to school with multiple backgrounds. Our expectations are high. We know you are going to learn and excel at school," Jobb said.
Not only have standardized test scores risen at Edna Hill, but administrators and teachers also base their ongoing success on discipline data and attendance rates, with students meeting 98 percent attendance goals several times this school year, according to Jobb. There have even been fewer incidents of bullying in recent years.
"Middle school can be a challenging time developmentally," Jobb said. "We know that kids want to be here. We know that those pieces are working because we see integrity and kindness when they think that we are not watching."
Now, all three of the Brentwood Union School District's middle schools have advisory programs. Jobb said that Edna Hill could not have achieved this without supportive parents and district staff.
In 2013, some teachers and staff will travel to the Schools to Watch national conference in Washington, D.C. Both Jobb and Kemper agree that Edna Hill is unique because of its dedicated teachers, who often work more than eight hours per day to build a unique culture on campus.
"Edna Hill works so very hard," Kemper said. "We have teachers who really care about kids and are willing to try new things."

Asian style furniture has clean lines & edges with understated detailing– it makes any room feel more relaxed, organic, and comfortably chic. Another commonly used term for Asian style decor and furniture is Wabi Sabi Style, a style that embraces harmonious imperfection.
Earlier this week we received a great customer review and photo from our dear customer, Veronica K., who fell in love with her new zen style dresser chest. Here's what Veronica had to say:
"I was looking for a new dresser with clean lines and an Asian feel and found the perfect piece in the Monterey Five Drawer Chest. The wood is beautiful and the dresser is very well crafted. The details are what make the piece so great right down to the drawers that glide like a dream. I like that it's made in the United States and when I spoke to the people at the store to ask questions they were very friendly and courteous. The dresser arrived without a scratch and my entire experience with Vermont Woods Studios was great!"

Oilers Trade Garon to Pittsburgh
Jonathan Willis
January 17 2009 01:55PM
Well, we've seen the first real trade of the Steve Tambellini era. In a time where NHL goaltenders are being dropped for nothing on the waiver wire (Sanford) or garnering no more than a 7th round pick (Labarbera), Tambellini actually managed to bring in a decent return. Here's the trade:
To Pittsburgh: Mathieu Garon
To Edmonton: Dany Sabourin, Ryan Stone, 4th Round Pick
First, from Pittsburgh's perspective, they obviously believe that Garon has the potential to play better than he has this past season. Garon had a strong game last night against Colorado, and started the year well, but there has been obvious friction between him and the coaching staff, especially goaltending coach Pete Peeters. Pittsburgh's struggled with poor goaltending all season; Marc-Andre Fleury's .905 SV% isn't nearly as good as it needs to be, while veteran backup Dany Sabourin is four games below .500 and has an .898 SV%. Garon is in the final season of a two-year, 1.1M/season contract, and although he's posted a .895 SV% this season, the past two years he's had a .907 SV% and .913 SV%. This is a good opportunity for Garon to get back on track on a very talented team.
As far as I can tell, Dany Sabourin is on a one-way contract, albeit one that will pay him a very modest 512K this season, which is its final year. I think that he is sent down to Springfield, where he should help spell the extremely over-worked Devan Dubnyk, and solidify Springfield's goaltending situation. Sabourin's an average NHL backup (hovering around the .900 SV% mark the last three seasons) but he's been excellent in the AHL, topping the .920 SV% mark his last three seasons there. By comparison, Dubnyk's played nearly every game for Springfield, posting a .903 SV% this season. Additionally, Sabourin serves as built in insurance if Jeff Deslauriers falters over more games.
Ryan Stone is the key player coming back. He was a second-round pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, and likely would have been picked higher if not for a concussion that affected his season. Here's what the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said about him after his selection:
Stone explained his resume in similar terms. Asked how many of his two dozen fights he had lost, he replied: "I haven't lost too many." Despite narrowly missing being a first-round pick, Stone is a project. His top priority, as he allowed, is improving his skating, a common criticism among scouts. Stone is viewed as a player in the mold of Brad May or Darren McCarty, owning the potential to develop his skills to a respectable level and having the edge to create enough room for himself to make it happen. He is versatile, having spent time on left wing and the power-play point. He also has been praised for helping Brandon win at least two playoff rounds in each of his two years there.
Stone is a restricted free agent after this season. He hasn't scored at a high level in the AHL; back in 2006-07 he was on pace for his best season offensively when a nasty hand injury forced him out of the line-up. He is a very physical player, not shy about fighting, and is widely regarded as a two-way forward.
The 4th round pick is, as Lowetide says "another bullet in the gun", but by itself it is a better return than Los Angeles got for the very comparable Jason Labarbera.
The only way I can see this trade is as a hands-down win for the Edmonton Oilers, and also for Mathieu Garon. Anybody who thought they were going to get more than this is greatly overvaluing Garon; in fact, if you'd told me yesterday that this trade was going to happen, I wouldn't have believed it.
January 18 2009, 10:03AM
I like Lecavalier, but swapping Hemsky for him would hamstring this franchise financially.
Besides, while Lecavalier' a better offensive performer, Hemsky's a better hockey player.
@ gipper: I'm kind of kidding. I generally don't get involved in discussions like these... and here I am initiating one. There are bloggers in 29 other markets speculating about what they would give for Vinny Lecavlier. When I say I would trade Hemskey, however, I am serious. You always win the trade when you get the best player... Vinny is a top 5 forward in this league. Hemskey is not.
In my dream world, however; the Oilers could send either Gagner or Cogliano, Sabourin or Deslaurier, and a pile of picks for Lecavlier. A trade like this would be a win-win for both organizations remebering each group has differnt objectives right now... I suspect, though, that Montreal will be in a position to offer more. If the Habs want to bankrupt their future for a shot at the cup on their 100th anniversary; How can Tambo stop them?

LOL! Pass the glue! Save your stats...Vinny is on a brutal team! Hemskey vs Iginla or LECAVLIER vs Iginla.
Sorry I'm out for breakfast with the family. Looking forward to checking on this thread later.

Hemsky. Each and every time.
January 18 2009, 10:42AM
So If Roli has been the best goalie all year can anyone explain to me how he managed to lose all three of his first starts? Where as Garon won all three of his first starts. Garon did go into the tamk but all of the media in the city were giving it a resounding "it sure hasn't been the goaltending that has been losing them games." Npw I'm not saying Roli hasn't been good for the last fifteen to twenty games but he was given that ball to run with after a mediocre start to the season.
Garon lost his starting gig to the coaches guy, plain and simple. He wasn't out performed.
Any of you who think he was need to look back at the start of the season and see that although he was anointed the starter he was never really given the job. It's always been Roli's they were just trying to appease the fans.
I am now officially on the fire MacT and the whole coaching staff bandwagon. Pete Peters only developed Conklin and Markenen. Good back ups. Maybe that's why this team is in love with back-ups so much...
Let the attack of the Roli backers begin. I still say it was never Garon's job to lose.

I'm with JW on this. Even without talking about salary (a big consideration), Hemsky is a more complete player. Love him or hate him, MacT has forced every member of the Oilers to think defensively every shift. While many teams urge their forwards to win the Rocket Richard, MacT coaches to win the Selke. As a result, Hemsky might not quite match Vinnie's total points this season, but he's far more reliable to have on the ice against top opposition. Now factor in the salary savings, and Hemsky's the clearly superior value. I'd give up a lot for Lacavlier, but not Hemsky.

I am fortunate enough to go to another retirement game against Pheonix. Hopefully this one is better than the Messier game.
4th time that Oilers have played Pheonix in a jersey retirement game. Kurri - Oct 6 2001 Win (6-2) Coffee - Oct 18 2006 Loss (4-3) Messier - Feb 27 2007 Loss (3-0)
Got to win this one to get to .500 in retiement games against the Dogs. We need this game to keep our hopes of play-offs alive too.

@ Ender the Dragon:
You guys here honestly think Hemsky is a better player than Vinny.
Holy take off the Oil covered glasses for a minute.
A rocket richard trophy winner. A stanley cup. 28 years old only. Hes accomplished more in his career already than hemsky will ever do.
Settle down.
January 18 2009, 11:37AM
Hemsky over Lecavalier is an easy one. Hemsky all the way. he's younger(more upside), better defensively as stated above, and is everybit the point per game player this year that Lacavalier is. If the Oilers can get Lecavaler, do what ever it takes. Here is what I would offer TB. To TB: Horcoff, Grebeshkov, Schremp or Dubnyk and 2 picks. To Edm: Lecavalier That is just an idea
January 18 2009, 11:46AM
@ Bob Sakimano:
Hemsky cant even tie Vinny's skates.
January 18 2009, 11:55AM
Did I forget to say
Vinny will be a Hall of Famer
Hemsky not so much
January 18 2009, 12:17PM
I want you to ask
Hemsky vs Vinny on LTs blog comments. See what everyone there figures?

What are you drunk!!! Go look at the numbers and compare the two at the point where Hemsky is at too where Lecavalier was at the same point in his career and the numbers are similar with the exception of goals because untill this year Hemsky was shooting less. Vinny has twice as many point true, but he's been in the league 5 years longer than Hemsky, and with the exception of Vinny's 108 pt year in 2006-07, he hasn't exaclty ripped it up stats wise. There both team first guys and great players, but I would still take Hemsky because of his potential upside.
@ 442Junkie:
Have you watched the whole season?
Garon was awful most of the year. He lost his job because he was inferior.
He has never been able to be a number one goaltender for ANY team over the long haul.
He has been traded five times.
This is not some kind of conspiracy, they played the better goaltender. It it that simple.
I would not take Vincent over Hemsky, if Hemsky was not injured his numbers would be better than Vinny's and he is not yet in his prime.
January 18 2009, 12:36PM
@ Bob Sakimano:
Come on now. Honestly.
Hemsky has more upside?? I want you to explain. Hemsky is only 3 years younger than Vinny. He cant even get over 20 goals or get over a ppg.
Vinny has been a allstar how many times?? Hemsky how many? Canada Oylmipic team....hemmer wouldnt get a sniff for team canada.Rocket richard winner. Hemsky will never get 30 goals. Vinny with a cup ring by the time he was 23. Um hemsky not so much.
Do you want more. We could start at the age of 16 and compare that Vinny's #'s, they have been greater than Hemsky's every year.
Yet you say hes a better player. Come on now. Be honest at least.
January 18 2009, 12:38PM
@ ron:
Remember when Vinny wasnt in his prime yet he lead his team to a stanely cup. 23 Years old.
What a joke on here.
January 18 2009, 12:42PM
@ CurtisS:
I disagree with you, but I've got a post coming up that has a full explanation of my view, so I'm going to wait until it's posted before I get into it more.
Over at LT's, Vinny vs. Hemsky's been discussed; I recall maybe 1 or 2 folks interested. Nobody wants to swap that contract.
In point of fact, over there I'm probably the biggest advocate of acquiring Lecavalier, because I think he fits a role on this team. Others - not so much.
It is better to be thought a fool than open their mouth and remove all doubt.
Have a nice day.
January 18 2009, 01:16PM
@ CurtisS: Why I think Hemsky has better upside? Age and Lack of elite linemates for Hemsky, I mean come on how do Horcoff, Smyth and Penner even compare to Richards and St. Louis. The closest thing Hemmer had was Sykora to a sniper. Hemsky is a not a shooter and will never be up for the Rocket Richard trophy. Would of had 25 goals this year if not hurt. Hemsky= 22 made SCF game 7. Lecavalier= 23 won SC We wont agree, and I now have better things to go do.
January 18 2009, 01:16PM
@ me: Watched the whole season? He's appeared in what 16 games. I watched, in person, him play the first two home games of the year. Then he lost to Vancouver and was shaky in a few other starts. MacT started the goalie shuffle. He went over a month without a start because, Peters said he didn't like what he saw in practice. If I may quote AI "PRACTICE!?! Not a game, Practice..."
Roli is known in the locker room as the Vets goalie. The vets are back in charge from last years end where the kids were running hot. Now look at the team. If you ask some the sky is falling because they're not 40 games over .500. I just don't think he was given the opportunity this year that Roli was given last. Not a conspiracy just a fact.
Garon sure wasn't terrible against the Av's on Friday. Unlike Roli's brutal game the night before and the soft goals he let in against the Sharks a week ago Friday. I won't even bring up the Detroit game here at Rexall in November...
Roli isn't the better goalie, he's just the one that got the green light from the coach. Oh well, chances are good that neither will be here next year anyway. And this won't matter.

You are right... Hemsky wouldn't get a sniff at Team Canada. But neither would Ovechkin, Malkin or Datsyuk... You need to be Canadian. But he has played for the Czech Republic!
@ me:
And when has Roli been a #1 guy in the NHL?
The only time Roli was ever a #1 guy was when we handed him a gross contract after a playoff run and had Maarkanen as our other option.
Roli proceeded to play like a donkey for the next 2 seasons and got outplayed by this inconsistent, underacheiving, journeyman named Garon you guys speak of.
Why was everyone so quick to dismiss Garon this year? Were you guys all willing to punt Roli after last season?
How come Roli got his chance to redeem himself at 39+ years old and at the end of his career?
Why wouldn't the Oilers want to give another shot to a younger more athletic guy that has a similar style to the new guy they have (JDD)?
For those of you that think Roli has been so stellar and Garon has been so terrible, it should be noted that since Garon got pulled in Pittsburgh earlier this year (very early) he has made 8 appearances and stopped 19 of the 207 shots he has faced.
In Roli's last 8 appearances he has faced 215 shots and let in 22 goals.
Considering that Roli has been able to play frequently and with less pressure on him - is he really outplaying Garon?
Maybe if Garon was given 3 or 4 starts in a row he could have gotten an a roll and we all would be saying how well he was playing playing. Then again, maybe he wouldn't have...I guess we will never know???

Last year we all saw how great Garon was, but he hardly stole any games for us. He made great saves and was great in the shootout….but we were in a shootout, meaning he hardly slammed the door on the other team.
He hardly stole us any games???
Did you watch the same games we all did last year?
@ CurtisS:
I am the biggest Hemsky supporter around....you can vouch for that Curt.
Vinnie for Hemsky in a heartbeat.
The only thing about making a deal like that is that it doesn't get us any further ahead. We need to add a guy like Vinnie and be able to keep Hemsky as well.
Horcoff is the guy that needs to used as bait (in some sort of package). Unfortunately I think almost every other NHL club sees what our management doesn't.
Horcoff isn't really a very good player.....

Buddhists (and in particular Vajrayana Buddhists), say that ultimately there is only love and hence subsequently compassion or loving kindness. But surely this is another example of conventional truth rather than ultimate truth. It assumes the existence of subject and object, otherwise who or what would there be to have compassion for? Things only exist by virtue of their relation to other things. This is conventional truth. In reality, there are no things, there is only 'this'. 'That which is'. And that which is, is not. To think of 'that which is' as this or that, is also conventional truth.
I've read that compassion arises spontaneously from insight/wisdom, but why should this seemingly dualistic emotion arise from the realisation of the non-dualistic nature of reality? The two appear to be mutually incompatible.
For what reason does compassion arise? For whom or what does the compassion pertain to within this non-dual reality? It just seems contradictory somehow.

When our PC goes on strike again we tend to curse it as if it was a human. The question of why and under what circumstances we attribute human-like properties to machines and how such processes manifest on a cortical level was investigated in a project led by Dr. Sören Krach and Prof. Tilo Kircher from the RWTH Aachen University (Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy) in cooperation with the Department of "Social Robotics" (Bielefeld University) and the Neuroimage Nord (Hamburg). The findings are published July 9 in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE.
Almost daily, new accomplishments in the field of human robotics are presented in the media. Constructions of increasingly elaborate and versatile humanoid robots are reported and thus human-robot interactions accumulate in daily life. However, the question of how humans perceive these "machines" and attribute capabilities and "mental qualities" to them remains largely undiscovered.
In the fMRI study, reported in PLoS ONE, Krach and colleagues investigated how the increase of human-likeness of interaction partners modulates the participants' brain activity. In this study, participants were playing an easy computer game (the prisoners' dilemma game) against four different game partners: a regular computer notebook, a functionally designed Lego-robot, the anthropomorphic robot BARTHOC Jr. and a human. All game partners played an absolutely similar sequence, which was not, however, revealed to the participants.
The results clearly demonstrated that neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex as well as in the right temporo-parietal junction linearly increased with the degree of "human-likeness" of interaction partners, i.e. the more the respective game partners exhibited human-like features, the more the participants engaged cortical regions associated with mental state attribution/mentalizing.
Further, in a debriefing questionnaire, participants stated having increasingly enjoyed the interactions most when their respective interaction partners displayed the most human features and accordingly evaluated their opponents as being more intelligent.
This study is the first ever to investigate the neuronal basics of direct human-robot interaction on a higher cognitive level such as mentalizing. Thus, the researchers expect the results of the study to impact long-lasting psychological and philosophical debates regarding human-machine interactions and especially the question of what causes humans to be perceived as human.

Married for 12 years, divorced for 12 years, re-married on 12-12-12
EUGENE, Ore. - Standing in line at the Lane County Courthouse to get a marriage license, the groom had a simple answer as to why this day.
"It's just a special day - 12-12 of 12," Roger Haxby said. "It's never going to happen again."
Some things do happen again, however - like love.
"We actually have a little bit longer story," said Teresa Bainter-Haxby, the bride-to-be.
"We were married before for 12 years, and then we were divorced for 12 years," she said. "It took us this long to get everything figured out, so 12-12-12 has a special meaning."
Surrounded by friends and family, the couple exchanged their wedding vows in the Lane County Courthouse - just before 12 noon.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. indices surged late Monday after President Barack Obama emerged to say that a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff was close to fruition but not yet finalized. Investors remained positive through most of the final trading session in 2012, despite Congress' inability to immediately avert the fiscal cliff, when deep spending cuts and tax hikes will go into effect on Jan. 1. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.28%, or 166 points, to 13,104. The blue-chip index gained 7.26% in 2012. "Investors are collectively disgusted with an impotent Congress. The risks to an economy with an existing output gap are serious, and even if an agreement is reached it appears to be so narrow in scope that the Fed will likely need to act again within months," said Sonny Tahiliani, managing director at MacroMoves. All components on the Dow finished in positive territory. The biggest percentage gainers included Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), Caterpillar ( CAT), General Electric ( GE) and Bank of America ( BAC). Shares of Bank of America tacked on 2.2%. The bank sealed its spot as the top performing blue-chip, as shares of the company jumped 108.8% in 2012. Advancers edged decliners by a 5.9-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, and by a 4.2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. Volume totaled 3.17 billion shares on the Big Board and 1.55 billion on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 surged 1.69%, or 24 points, to 1426. The S&P gained 13.41% in 2012. The Nasdaq spiked 2%, or 59 points, to close the year above 3,000 points at 3019. The tech-heavy index gained 15.91% in 2012 to post the largest increase among the major U.S. equity indices. Reports surfaced early Monday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden had made "major progress" toward a budget deal. The negotiations between McConnell and Biden, according to Politico, could be closing in on an agreement that would raise taxes on those families who earn more than $450,000 and individuals with income at more than $400,000. Congress failed to reach an agreement over the weekend as Democrats and Republicans went back and forth on where they should set a threshold of income for individuals and families. Democrats had hoped to increase taxes on those individuals who had earned more than $360,000 each year and families with incomes of $450,000, but Senate Republicans suggested the individual tax hikes go to those earning $450,000 or more and on couples making a yearly amount of $550,000. "There's still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Sunday night. Stocks fell on Friday as investors feared legislators would fail to reach any sort of deal by the Jan. 1 deadline. President Barack Obama emerged after the closing bell on Friday to say that he had engaged in a "constructive discussion" with House and Senate leadership about preventing tax hikes on the middle class. "But if an agreement isn't reached in time between Sen. Reid and Sen.
Mitch McConnell, then I will urge Sen. Reid to bring to the floor a basic package for an up-or-down vote," Obama said on Friday. The president said the basic package would include a plan to protect middle-class tax cuts, extend unemployment insurance and groundwork for deficit reduction. The Dallas Federal Reserve manufacturing survey showed that Texas factory activity edged up in December to 2.7 from last month's 1.7, according to the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey. The FTSE 100 in London finished down 0.47%, while the DAX in Germany was closed on Monday. Asian markets finished mixed on Monday as investors there appeared uncertain as to whether the U.S. would reach a so-called fiscal cliff deal. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.04% to 22,657. Japanese markets were closed.

References including modern Sri Lankan, Burmese and Thai interpretations:
Mahāsupina Jātaka (No. 77)
Pasenadi, king of Kosala, had, one night, sixteen bad dreams, and his brahmins, on being consulted, said that they presaged harm either to his kingdom, his life, or his wealth, and prescribed all manner of sacrifices in order to avert the danger (It is perhaps this sacrifice which is referred to at S.i.75).
Mallikā, the king's wife, heard of this and suggested that the Buddha should be consulted. The king followed her advice, and the Buddha explained the dreams.
The first dream was of wild bulls entering the royal courtyard to fight but retiring after roaring and bellowing. This, said the Buddha, meant that, in future, when wicked kings rule, rain clouds will gather, but there will be no rain.
The second dream was of trees and shrubs sprouting from the earth which flowered and bore fruit when only about one span high. This foretold a time when men would be short lived owing to their lusts.
In the third dream cows sucked calves which were hardly a day old. This showed that, in the future, the young would refuse respect to the old.
The fourth dream was of sturdy draught oxen standing by, while young steers tried to draw loads. This signified a time when the administration of affairs will be entrusted to the young and inexperienced, while the wise and old stand by.
The fifth dream was of a horse which ate from two mouths, one on either side of its body, which foretold a time when the king's justices will take bribes from contending parties and give themselves to corruption.
The sixth dream was of people holding a very valuable golden bowl and asking a jackal to stale therein. This shows that, in the future, kings will exalt the low born and noble maidens will be mated with upstarts.
The seventh dream was of a man holding a rope which he trailed at his feet, while a she jackal kept on eating it. This foretold a time when women will lose their sense of modesty and behave badly.
In the eighth dream was a big pitcher at the palace gates filled with water and surrounded by empty ones. This foretold a time when kings will be poor and set the whole country working for them, the people being left in extreme poverty.
The ninth dream was of a deep pool with sloping banks overgrown with lotus. Men and beasts entered the pond; the middle was muddy, but at the edges was crystal water. This meant that in the future there would be unrighteous kings oppressing the people, who would leave the capital and take refuge in the frontier districts.
The tenth dream was of rice cooking in a pot, which rice, instead of cooking evenly, remained in three parts: some sodden, some raw, some well cooked; this showed that in the future men of all classes, even brahmins and sages, will be wicked, the very forces of nature will be against them, and their harvest will be spoiled.
The eleventh dream was of men bartering butter milk for precious sandal wood, and presaged a time when the Dhamma would decay and its votaries clamour for money and gifts.
The twelfth dream was of empty pumpkins sinking in the water; the world will be reversed: the low born will become great lords and the noble sink into poverty.
In the thirteenth dream solid blocks of rock floated in the water; nobles and wise men will be scorned while upstarts shall have their own way.
In the fourteenth dream tiny frogs chewed huge snakes and ate them; a time will come when men, because of their lusts, will become the slaves of their wives and be ruled by them.
The fifteenth dream was of a wicked village crow attended by mallards; kings will arise, ignorant and cowardly, who will rise to power, not their peers, but their footmen, barbers, and the like; nobles will be reduced to waiting on these upstarts.
In the sixteenth dream goats chased panthers, devouring them; the lowborn will be raised to lordship and nobles will sink into obscurity and distress; when the latter plead for their rights, the king's minions will have them cudgelled and bastinadoed.
Having thus explained the dreams, the Buddha told Pasenadi a story of the past. A king of Benares, named Brahmadatta, had dreams similar to those of Pasenadi. When he consulted the brahmins, they began to prepare sacrifices. A young brahmin protested, saying that animal sacrifice was against the teaching of the Vedas, but they would not listen. The Bodhisatta, who was a hermit in the Himālaya, possessed of insight, became aware of what was happening, travelled through the air and took his seat in the park. There he was seen by a young brahmin, who brought the king to the park. The Bodhisatta heard the king's dreams and explained them to his satisfaction.
Ananda was the king and Sāriputta the young brahmin. J.i.334-45.

It is a situation that is so unpleasant, one cannot believe it is real. Even today, some people are of the opinion that the dreams that they see sometimes true in their life.

16 Predictions of the Buddha
By Phra Khru Palat Veeranon Veerananto
For those of you that have read the previous book, there might have been an improvement of the literary style with clearer explanations which mentioned the changes in the world that occurred in the past, happening in the current and will happen in the future, involving nautical catastrophe like tsunami and earthquakes throughout the splitting of tectonic plates.
The second part mentions things that happened in Siam and global society.
The third part is about predictions that religious teachers have made. The book also demonstrates preparations for the confrontation with obstacles that will occur in the future.
Thai Prophecy Verse (th: เพลงยาวพยากรณ์กรุงศรีอยุธยา, RTGS: Phleng yao phayakon krung si ayutthaya, the verse prophesying the future of Krung Si Ayutthaya) is a poetry forecasting the future of Thailand. It was composed on a par with Maha Supina Jataka in Tripitaka, the Jataka features the reply of Buddha to King Pasenadi of Kosala about the King's sixteen-fold dream.

Evil Dreams and the Military in Burma

A Critical Study of Mahasupina Jataka and its Relevance to the modern Society
http://www.scribd.com/doc/67542641/1-a- ... the-Moder1
In this Jātaka story mainly focused the social problems and pointed out the existing problems in the society periphrasis way in the media of dreams. The compiler of theJātaka story was very much preferred it to convert to the words of the Buddha and tell this is happening in future not now. This is the effective way of conveying an important message to the listeners. Buddhism accepted the changing nature of the society and in the Aggañña sutta of Dighanikaya mainly discussed the evolution of the society since the human being appeared on the earth. There it has explained only the evolutionary process without any bias motivation explained it as a nature of the society. But in this Mahāsupina Jātaka every social problem has been referred in a biased way and explained in future things will change in the wrong way or unreal way. This indicates the Jātaka story has been in the society and compilers collected them and compiled them in the Jātakas to indicate it as a Buddhist story. But not all the Jātaka stories were taken from the folk tales in the society.
Why the Dreams taken as main theme in this Jātaka Story?
In Buddhism dreams have been accepted from the very beginning. Because at the time of the Buddha the society in the 6th century B.C. believed very much about dreams. Some people used to Dream Reading for their livelihood. They learned Dream Reading like astrology and used to interpret dreams by going house to house. People also kept their dreams to get the reading till they come. We are able to know that some people used to read dreams for their livelihood at that time with a passage in the Digha Nikaya. In the place of explaining the Great Moralities (Mahāsīla) that has to follow by a monk in theway of fulfilling Noble Moral code it is mentioned a monk should avoid reading dreams for his livelihood. It has been mentioned with so many subjects rejected Arts like Reading Body marks etc, (Angam nimittam uppadam 'supinam.'). In the Anguttara Nikaya it is mentioned even the Bodhisatta on the previous night of attaining to Buddhahood had five dreams and mentioned what are the five dreams and given the meaning also for those five dreams. According to dreams it was very sure for the Bodhisattva that he was becoming a Buddha on the following day.
Though it was believed earlier that dreams are the predictions of future incidents, the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud explained dreams are fulfillment of individual' subconscious wishes which manifest into dreams. Western way of interpreting dreams are fantasies, usually visual, experienced during sleep and certain other situations. Western psychologists divided the functions of mind during the sleep and mentioned within how many minutes after sleep the dreams can occur. Sigmund Freud mentioned the way adream can form in the mind and said a person's dream get the mind in reverse order. Example: If the doorbell sound is reached to the ear of a person who is in sleep he gets a dream that the postman has come and rang his cycle bell. While he gets that dream then probably the man who rang the first door bell after few seconds rings the second bell also. Then the man who sleeps actually awaken because of the door bell rings. In this manner western psychologists do not say dreams can serve as future predictions. But in some rare occasions even in the west also some dreams showed nature of predictions.
It is certainly in Asia a lot of people experienced the predictions of future and some people escaped from various grave dangers because of dreams. Even in some Asian countries still believe in dreams and they try to read dreams to find out the future consequences whenever they have a dreams. That is the reason this Mahāsupina Jātaka tries to give some messages relating to future using the medium of dream. Using dreams to pass a message is an effective way to attract the listeners. Specially the messages are earlier given messages in few discourses. Therefore in order to draw the attention of listeners the compilers had to use some methods. The method they selected was to convert the massages into dreams and explain what was the dream. Then somebody has to supply the meaning to those dreams in the way of dream reading. They probably thought if these matters were included in the Jātaka story that is the most effective way to convey the message to the society.
The major factors mentioned in the Jātaka story are the factors already mentioned in the Aggañña sutta and Cakkavattisihanāda Sutta. The compilers of this Jātaka story must have thought to create some kind of fear about the wrong doings of masses. For that they have selected some of the changes which are happening in the societies to say those things will be the future incidents. They probably wanted to tell it to the present kings but they were frightened to say that therefore they put the words to the Buddha's mouth and said "Sir, these things will not affect to me or to you, but these are the things happening in the future". Most of the problems are social problems that have been mentioned here apart from some environmental problems and those social problems are inevitable due to the changes of societies within the time but people do not like to accept those changes. That kind of changes visible at their times also mentioned these are some things happening future. The important factor mentioned in this study is how the mind of people will affect the environment. This factors also more often explained in Buddhism but that is worth reiterating time to time for the purpose of educating people. That is what for specially this Jātaka story was compiled.
Jataka tales
According to A.K. Warder, the Jatakas are the precursors to the various legendary biographies of the Buddha, which were composed at later dates.
Within the Pali tradition, there are also many apocryphal Jatakas of later composition (some dated even to the 19th century) but these are treated as a separate category of literature from the "Official" Jataka stories that have been more-or-less formally canonized from at least the 5th century — as attested to in ample epigraphic and archaeological evidence, such as extant illustrations in bas relief from ancient temple walls. Some of the apocryphal Jatakas (in Pali) show direct appropriations from Hindu sources, with amendments to the plots to better reflect Buddhist morals.
Jataka Gathas and Jataka Commentary
By M. Winternitz
It is of the utmost importance to know how far
the Jatakas can be used for historical purposes, more
especially for the history of Indian literary types,
and for the history of social life and institutions
in ancient India. H.Oldenberg(l) has used the Jatakas
in support of his famous, though now no longer
accepted, "Akhyana-theory", claiming them as proving
the existence, from the Vedic period onwards, of a
type of narrative poetry, composed in a mixture of
prose and verse, of which the verses only were
committed to memory and handed down, while the prose
story was left to be narrated by every reciter in his
own words.(2) G. Buhler(3), R.Fick(4), T.W. Rhys
Davids(5) and Mrs. Rhys Davids(1) were of opinion that the Jatakas such as we
have them give a picture of Indian life in the days
of Buddha, that is, in the sixth and fifth century
B.C., or at least at the time of the redaction of the
canon in the third century B.C. Since then, however,
it has become the almost general opinion of scholars
that only the Jataka-Gathas can claim canonical
authority, and be regarded as documents of the third,
or even the fifth century B.C., while the Jataka
Commentary, as we have it, can claim no higher
antiquity than the fifth or sixth century A.D.,
though in its prose parts also it contains old
traditions which in many cases may go back to the
same early period as the Gathas. More over, it was
generally believed that the original canonical
Jataka, consisting of Gathas only, was preserved to
us in the Phayre Ms. of Jataka verses.
The prose was always more exposed to changes and enlargements.
Frequently it is nothing but the poor performance of
some inferior writer, especially when, as is often
the case, no prose is required at all. It is in the
prose only that allusions occur to Ceylon, and not
infrequently it is at variance with the Gathas. The
language of the Gathas, too, is more archaic than
that of the prose.
It is true that in some Jatakas, Gathas and prose
form a homogeneous whole. In many others, however,
the proses are nothing but useless commentatorial
accessories. Therefore the Jatakas cannot be taken as
examples of the ancient Indian Akhyana in the sense
of the prose-and-verse type of narrative, as
Oldenberg understood it. Not one, but several
literary types are represented in the Jataka
Collection. There are some Jatakas which were prose
stories with only one or two or a few verses
containing either the moral or the gist of the tale.
In these cases it is likely enough that the
commentary has preserved more or less of the old
prose stories. Another type of Jatakas is that of the
Campu in which the story itself is related
alternately in prose and verse, in which case the
commentary is often an expansion of the original
prose text. But there are other Jatakas which
originally consisted of Gathas only: some of them
ballads in dialogue form, others ballads in a mixture
of dialogue verses and narrative stanzas, others
again epics or fragments, and some even mere strings
of moral maxims to think that the monks who
translated from Sinhalese into Pali would take
canonical and even uncanonical Pali texts, wherever
they were available, from the original Pali works,
and not take the trouble of translating them from
Sinhalese. When we meet with the same stories in
different commentaries, it is not necessary to assume
that the one has copied from the other. It is more
probable that they were copied from the same
pre-existing sources. Many Jatakas, especially the
longer ones, probably existed as independent texts,
before they were included in a Commentary or
Collection. on some topic. In all these cases the entire prose
belongs to the commentary(1).
From all this it follows that when using any part
of the Jataka Book for historical purposes, we shall
always have to ask ourselves first, to which stratum
of the text that part belongs.
Milindapañha on Dreams:
"Nimittametaṃ, mahārāja, supinaṃ nāma, yaṃ cittassa āpātamupagacchati. Chayime, mahārāja, supinaṃ passanti, vātiko supinaṃ passati, pittiko supinaṃ passati, semhiko supinaṃ passati, devatūpasaṃhārato supinaṃ passati, samudāciṇṇato supinaṃ passati, pubbanimittato supinaṃ passati, tatra, mahārāja, yaṃ pubbanimittato supinaṃ passati, taṃyeva saccaṃ, avasesaṃ micchā"ti.
http://studies.worldtipitaka.org/tipita ... /6.3/6.3.5
Who sees dreams? There are six kinds of person who see dreams. They are...
1. Vātiko = the person suffers from wind.
2. Pittiko = the bilious person.
3. Semhiko = the phlegmatic person.
4. Devatūpasamhārato = the person possessed of a deva.
5. Samudācinnato = the person influenced by his own habits.
6. Pubbanimittato = the person sees a dream as a portent.
What is this thing that people call a dream and who dreams it?
King Milinda said "Venerable Nāgasena, men and women in this world see dreams pleasant and evil, things they have seen before and things they have not seen before, things they have done or have not done before, dreams peaceful and terrible, dream of matters near to them and distant from them, full of many shapes and innumerable colors. What is this that men call a dream, and who is it who dreams it?
That is called a supinam (dream), sire, is a suggestion that comes into the focus of the mind. There are six kinds of people who see dreams, the person who suffer from wind, the bilious and phlegmatic person possessed of a Deva, the person influenced by his own habit, and the person who sees a dream as a portent. Among these, only the last kind is true, the rest are false."
"Bhante Nāgasena, in regard to him who sees a dream as a portent, does his mind, going along of its own accord, seek for that portent or does that portent come into the focus of the mind, does anyone else come and tell him of it?"
"It is not, that his mind going along of its own accord, seeks for that portent nor does someone else come and tell him of it, but that comes into the focus of his mind. It is like a mirror that does not go anywhere to seek for a reflection, nor does someone else bringing a reflection put it on the mirror, but the reflection comes from wherever it appears in the mirror."
"Venerable Nāgasena, does the mind that sees a dream also know, so will be peaceful or frightening?"
"No, that is not so. He speaks to others about it and they then speak to him of its meaning when the portent has arisen."
"Venerable Nāgasena, give me a smile to explain this, please."
"It is as the moles, boils or itches that arise on a people's body are to their gain or loss, their repute or disrepute praise or blame, happiness or sorrow -- but as these boils arise, do they know we will bring about such and such an event?"
"No, Venerable, according to the place where these boils occur, so do the fortune-tellers, seeing them there, explain such indeed will be the result."
"Even so, sire, the mind that sees the dream does not know, 'Thus will be the result, peaceful or frightening.' But he speaks to others about it and they then speak to him of its meaning when the portent has arisen."
Supina Sutta: Five Dreams of the Bodhisatta
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
"Now, when the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, and this great earth was his great bed, the Himalayas, king of mountains, was his pillow, his left hand rested in the eastern sea, his right hand in the western sea, and both feet in the southern sea: this first great dream appeared to let him know that he would awaken to the unexcelled right self-awakening.
"When the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, and a woody vine growing out of his navel stood reaching to the sky: this second great dream appeared to let him know that when he had awakened to the noble eightfold path, he would proclaim it well as far as there are human & celestial beings.
"When the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, and white worms with black heads crawling up from his feet covered him as far as his knees: this third great dream appeared to let him know that many white-clothed householders would go for life-long refuge to the Tathagata.
"When the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, and four different-colored birds coming from the four directions fell at his feet and turned entirely white: this fourth great dream appeared to let him know that people from the four castes — priests, noble-warriors, merchants, and laborers — having gone forth from the home life into homelessness in the Dhamma & Vinaya taught by the Tathagata, would realize unexcelled release.
"When the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, and he walked back & forth on top of a giant mountain of excrement but was not soiled by the excrement: this fifth great dream appeared to let him know that the Tathagata would receive gifts of robes, alms food, lodgings, & medicinal requisites to cure the sick, but he would use them unattached to them, uninfatuated, guiltless, seeing the drawbacks [of attachment to them], and discerning the escape from them.
"When the Tathagata — worthy & rightly self-awakened — was still just an unawakened bodhisatta, these five great dreams appeared to him."

Category: great names for girls
The other day we offered eight fresh choices for boys, and now it's the girls' turn—girls' names ranging from a rare botanical specimen to a nostalgic nickname to an undercrowded place name.
1–Acacia—This a a pretty and delicate botanical name that has hardly been heard in this country, though it ranked as high as Number 273 among girls' names in Australia, where the Acacia is a common flowering shrub, in 2008. Acacia has a heritage that dates back to ancient Egyptian mythology, in which it was considered the tree of life due to the belief that the first gods were born under a sacred Acacia tree. There is also an eponymous fantasy novel, Acacia. Caveat: just don't think about the other name of the Acacia tree—the Golden Wattle.
2–Amabel—Not to be confused with Annabel (though it well might be), the lovely Amabel has been around since medieval times, and has appeared in a number of British novels, including Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death, and heard as well as among the English aristocracy. Amabel gave birth to the shortened form Mabel, which has a much brasher image, and we think a name that means lovable, deserves more love than it's gotten.

Here's a fall trend that is causing some trepidation: Ankle boots! Sure the likes of Mischa Barton and Kate Moss can pull it off, but for most of us this style has the potential to make our legs looks shorter and fatter than they are! We asked Julia Gilhart, fashion director of Barneys New York, how to wear this trend and she suggests staying away from Mischa's look (left). "Bare legs are NOT the way to go," says Gilhart. "You need opaque tights." Another way that works: Paired with leggings that are a little shorter, showing off just a hint of skin. What do you think? Would you wear ankle boots? The ones shown here from Bebe, $129, are pretty cute. Don't you think?

Union Square
Named after the "union" of Broadway and Fourth Avenue, Union Square is where NYU and The New School's young talent intersects with the tech savvy of Silicon Alley. No wonder so many startups in particular seek its confines for a headquarters.
On its own, Union Square Park acts as a little playground for busy professionals and buskers alike on a warm summer day or cool autumn evening. Its best-known feature? The mysterious Metronome on the art wall at 1 Union Square South, blithely counting down the hours til' midnight.
Union Square is also a favorite of foodies shopping for fresh ingredients. Union Square Greenmarket, the Union Square Holiday Market, and a Trader Joe's supplies many a dinner table in New York City.
Union Square offices are also sure to benefit from the accessibility to public transit at Union Square station and its proximity to commercial districts like Flatiron and Chelsea.
Office space for rent costs on average $68/sqft.
Nearby Districts Include: Chelsea, the Flatiron District, Greenwich Village, and the East Village.

Clark boys win overdue track title, Stevens girls cruise
Updated 11:22 pm, Friday, April 13, 2012
Clark track coach Bobby Allen shook the ice water from his hat and polo shirt with a wide grin on his face.
He had just endured an overdue Gatorade bath after the Cougars' boys won their first track district championship in 20 years at the District 27-5A meet Friday night at Gustafson Stadium.
"It's been a long time coming," Allen said. "I really don't know what to say. I'm just so proud of these kids and our staff."
The Cougars just edged Brandeis 107-106 to claim the title. The difference came down to the first and last events of the day. In the opening 400-meter relay, Clark placed first, beating Brandeis by 0.08 seconds. In the final 1,600 relay, the Broncos finished second and the Cougars took fifth — just enough to carry Clark to the title.
Clark also picked up individual wins from Presley Miller (110 hurdles), Ben Deschner (400 meters) and Brandon Yates (200 dash).
Brandeis shined in the 100 dash. Senior Colin Blake, running in just his second meet of the year, won in 10.94 seconds, ahead of teammates Corey Hayes and Nick Sierra. It didn't hurt that top qualifier Virjilio Griggs of Warren missed the meet with injury.
Sports Channel
"He's a friend and a really fast guy, so I guess I'm lucky he was hurt," said Blake, who will play football at Florida State.
Jay junior Joshua Reynolds dominated in the 300 hurdles (38.2 seconds) and ran the anchor leg of the Mustangs' 1,600 relay win.
"I was hoping for a lower time," he said. "Maybe I'll get it by state."
Stevens cruised to the girls' title 142-112 over Brandeis. The Falcons won the 800 and 1,600 relays and were buoyed by a strong showing in Thursday's field events, highlighted by Samantha Turner shattering the district record in the shot put (43 feet, 7 inches).
Clark senior Shantel Swift lived up to her name, winning the 100- and 400-meter dashes. Holmes' Stephanie Barlow was the only other runner to win two events (800 and 1,600 meters).
"I wasn't expecting that at all because the meet moved so fast," said Swift, who also qualified for regionals in the 200. "But I experimented with the 800 for a bit, which built up my endurance."
The top three finishers in each event advance to the Region IV-5A meet held April 27-28 at Alamo Stadium.

Great serum, poor packaging

Great serum, poor packaging
Yes, this is one of the best AHA serums I've used thus far and one of the best sold on iHerb - apart from the souffle from the same brand, but that's more of a cream and leaves my face too shiny for use during the day. However, because of the thinness of the serum and the way the bottle cap is structured, it's very hard to get it from the bottle onto your face. It's not possible to just get a few drops onto your fingers, because it will just glide right through. So it's difficult to get a proper amount of product out of the bottle, without spilling. A real shame! That being said, if your skin can tolerate the 14% AHA (it is said that AHA products shouldn't exceed 10%), then this product is a gem. Also the PH is within range for the glycolic acid to exfoliate (which isn't always the case!)
Was this review helpful to you?

Very good
Posted by iHerb Customer on Oct 05, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I was searching for a good and strong AHA, as I have many acne marks and my skin tone is everything but not even. This stuff is very good. I use it 3 times/week, in the evenings, the other nights I use Differin. The next morning I wake up with a brighter and glowing skin. In 2 months of use(paired with Differin and BHA), has made my skin look way better, brighter, more even and almost no break-outs. I also like that is has a light consistency and it's absorbed quickly, which is very good for my oily skin. It stung only the first time when I applied it, but I take care to have my skin totally dry before applying(I usually wait 5-10min after I applied a toner and just after I use this).

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : The Origin of Suffering
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ sariputtadhamma/JTN]
Vism. p. 518 :
61. But in the description of the origin, the expression yaaya.m ta.nhaa (that craving which) = yaa aya.m ta.nhaa. [As regards the expression] produces further becoming: it is a making become again, thus it is "becoming again" (punabbhava); becoming again is its habit, thus it "produces further becoming" (ponobbhavika). The expression nandiraaga-sahagataa (accompanied by concern and greed) = nandiraagena sahagataa; what is meant is that it is identical in meaning with delight and greed.
Concerned with this and that: wherever personality is generated there is concern with that. The expression that is to say (seyyathida.m) is a particle; its meaning is "which is that." Craving for sense desires, craving for becoming, craving for nonbecoming will be explained in the Description of Dependent Origination (XVII.233ff.). Although this is threefold, it should nevertheless be understood as "the noble truth of the origin of suffering," taking it as one in the sense of its generating the truth of suffering.
Love Buddha's dhamma,
