Fading the Best Buy Rally
When I started working on Wall Street in the mid-1990s, "sell" was a dirty word, rarely uttered by analysts. In an effort to circumvent the use of that epithet, one brokerage stooped to the use of "source of funds" as a rating. I imagined the broker's discussion with his client would go something like this: "We're not saying you should sell this stock; we're saying you should engage in some non-specific process that would somehow convert it into money."
I don't rate stocks, but if I did, Best Buy (BBY) would be a sell, especially after the pop it experienced this week. I don't like to sell when a stock is already crushed, but when it bounces due to unwarranted confidence or just plain hope, opportunity knocks....371 more words left in this article.

Industry's conversion to digital forces old-time movie house to upgrade
DAGSBORO, Del. — If only Frank Capra was still around, he'd probably appreciate the irony of his films being used for Joanne Howe's "Save the Place" campaign to fund a needed upgrade to digital movie projector technology for her 65-year-old Clayton Theatre.
Howe, who bought the movie theater with her husband in 2000, is still showing first run movies like "Les Miserables" in 35 mm celluloid film on the original MotioGraph projector that came with the building, which was built in 1948. But MotioGraph went out of business because its products never broke down, she said.
Fast forward to the new era of cinema, where imaging in general is now going digital. "We knew it was coming," she said, with film manufacturers Kodak in bankruptcy and Fuji no longer making film stock.
But the sudden decision of major studios last year to save millions by no longer printing film in the 35 mm format has forced Howe to accelerate her conversion to the new digital technology, she said. Doing so, however, will require an $85,000 investment to update her equipment.
The conversion is hitting small town theaters like Howe's hard, she said, because while the studios are offering theaters help with the costs of converting to digital, that help is available only when theaters order first run movies on opening day.
Since studios receive a percentage of ticket sales revenue, opening day receipts are key, Howe said, because ticket sales progressively decrease the farther away from opening day a movie is shown. Small theaters don't tend to qualify. Although they show first run movies, they might not show them on opening day.
So fire up the community, Howe is looking for the kind of pocketbook full of miracles George Bailey found at the end in "It's a Wonderful Life."
Hence, Howe is showing movie classics to save her classic theater. On Mondays the doors open at 6:15 p.m. and the movie begins at 7 p.m., when the theater is otherwise dark. Tickets for the classics series are $4 across the board, unlike the $8.50 per adults and $6.50 for kid's ticket rates for the regular movies shown during the rest of the week.
During January the classic series featured Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca," "The African Queen" and "The Maltese Falcon." Jimmy Stewart will be the headliner for February, leading off with "Harvey." In March, Howe will feature John Wayne movies, she said.
She said she is also selling theater memorabilia and accepting donations.
The theater is located at 33246 Main St., in Dagsboro, Del. The theater telephone number is 302-732-9606, and the box office telephone number is 302-732-3744.

Can someone with more time and cap knowledge than me please put together an accurate idea of the Pacers' cap space and moves on an event-by-event basis from July 1?
I think people are getting confused as to when signings took place and therefore when cap holds changed to actual cap usage. I also wonder exactly what the rule is for having made an agreement with a player - I thought there were issues with making an agreement and then just not signing the player until later in order to fudge the cap space.

Can the Warriors win a playoff round without Andris Biedrins? They're really testing fate now …
Yes, the good-natured Latvian center was on their roster for every single one of their playoff series victories since the 1991 playoffs … all two of them (last season over Denver as an afterthought and in 2007 over Dallas as a key big-man piece).
But he's gone now. Can they survive and advance without him?
Here's one way: The Warriors go into tonight's Game 3 at Oracle knowing that they have to win at home — to keep the Clippers at bay, to get ahead of this series 2-1, and to stay on course with the recent history of the Warriors franchise.
Which says: The Warriors don't win playoff series if they lose at home, that's just a fact.
I don't like the term "must win" until a team is literally one defeat away from elimination, so I won't say that about this game, though I do believe the Warriors have to win it to have much of a chance in the series.
I'll call it an urgent game: If the Warriors lose to the Clippers tonight, they'll be in serious trouble of losing the series, maybe very quickly.
It's just the way these playoff series go, momentum swings and when one team exerts control, it's imperative that the other team grabs it right back, particularly when it has home court.
After the Game 2 Clipper stomping at Staples, that's where this series is tonight. I don't think the Warriors can win this series if they lose this game.
I believe the Clippers can survive a loss tonight, but I think it'd be close to a kill-shot if the Warriors do.
The home-court Warriors playoff history …
Easy breakdown: Win all their games at home, the Warriors win the series. Lose any of the home games, and they usually lose.
The last time the Warriors won a series despite losing a home game was in 1977, when they lost Game 1 at home to Detroit in the first round but won the next two games (Game 2 at Detroit, Game 3 at home) to win the best-of-three series.
They lost in seven games the next round that year to the Lakers, winning every home game but losing all four games in LA.
Let's go through the history, starting with the Warriors' series victories …
The Warriors' series losses …
Despite the Oracle noise and sellout crowds, the GSWs were 27-14 at home, tied for only the ninth best home record in the NBA.
They were a great regular-season road team: 24-17 record, third best in the league, and that translated to that Game 1 victory at Staples, I'd say.
Meanwhile, the Clippers were 23-18 on the road, tied for fourth-best. They're a good road team. Game 3 tonight is a huge one.
This time it's two days off between Games 2 and 3 … and then there will be another two days off between Games 3 and 4 … and I'm suggesting in a playoff format, when you're playing the same team, these long two-day breaks are similar two three-day breaks in the regular season.
It sure felt long, no?
After some back-and-forth arguing with myself, I'm sticking with that guess.
I think the Clippers will play a great game and obviously the Warriors still don't have a matchup for Blake Griffin. But I'll go with the home-court and I think Stephen Curry will get a few more open looks and will play great.
I think the Warriors will hold off the Clippers for one home game. Then Game 4 on Sunday will be the series, basically.

Farnsworth sharp in spring debut
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Kyle Farnsworth made his first appearance of the spring on Friday against the Phillies and he pitched a scoreless sixth, retiring all three batters he faced, with one strikeout.
"It felt good to get back out there," said Farnsworth, who has been a little behind the other relievers this spring. "Just tried to keep it nice and simple. Tried to throw strikes."
Farnsworth missed the start of last season due to elbow problems, so the Rays have been cautious with the veteran right-hander given the expanded length of this year's Spring Training.
"Everything was pain free, fluid and easy, that was the main thing," Farnsworth said.
Farnsworth went 1-6 with a 4.00 ERA in 34 appearances for the Rays last season after serving as the team's closer in 2011.
"I'm definitely going to be ready for Opening Day," Farnsworth said.
Farnsworth chuckled when told he hit 92 on the last pitch he threw.
"I'm getting there," he said.

Minor in Physics
A minor in Physics is an excellent choice to combine with many majors, including math and chemistry.
This minor would also prepare a secondary teacher to teach physics in high school. Since this minor requires three semesters of calculus, it is advantageous to take physics in conjunction with a math major or minor. Students with a physics minor have pursued a variety of career tracks, including engineering, physics and computer science.
The Evangel University Department of Natural and Applied Sciences is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department's purpose is to provide an excellent science education that is thoroughly integrated with the University's emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Physics students learn to exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills; the demand for technologically competent professionals will continue to increase. The physics minor requires 18 hours of physics. Courses taken most frequently to meet the requirements are Engineering Physics I and II, Circuit Analysis, Statics, and Thermodynamics. Engineering Physics I has a prerequisite of calculus, so most students take calculus their first year and then begin the physics minor the second year. Since 12 hours of calculus are required for the various physics courses, many students planning to minor in physics also complete at least a minor in math. The career path a student takes will be greatly affected by the choice of a major, but a double minor in math and physics would greatly enhance a resume for almost any occupation.
Each of Evangel's academic programs is made up of a set of core curriculum, program requirements and electives. The courses listed below are just a small sample of courses that might be taken as a part of this specific program.
|Calculus III
|Includes rectilinear and curvilinear motion, parametric equations, polar coordinates, improper integrals, partial differentiation, and multiple integrals.
|Engineering Physics I
|Fundamental theories and principles in classical physics of mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics with an introduction in modern physics based on the knowledge of calculus and vector manipulations.
|Circuit Analysis
|Instruction in AC and DC circuit components; energy and power; series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits; source conversions and Thevenin, Norton equivalency; mesh and nodal analysis; RLC circuits and frequency response.
|Differential Equations
|Equations of the first, second, and higher order; linear equations with constant coefficients and systems of equations; the Laplace Transform, power series, and other standard methods of solution; introduction to difference and partial differential equations; and applications to physics and engineering.
|Fundamentals of statics, vector analysis of forces and moments in two- and three-dimensions, free-body diagrams, static equilibrium, moments of inertia, centroids, shearing forces, and bending moments. Introductory topics in dynamics.
Evangel University's world-class faculty is made up of caring, Christian professionals who are distinguished in their fields and dedicated to the development of tomorrow's Christian leaders.
NOTE: A minor is a secondary field of interest that is meant to complement your academic major. While your major is chosen for your intended career choice, your minor may be something you pursue for your personal interest or to augment your major.
No special requirements for this program.
General Undergraduate Requirements
The following are general requirements for all students beginning an undergraduate program at Evangel. For more information visit Undergraduate Admissions Requirements.
|As a boldly Christian university, all of our students have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida's sales and marketing arm is looking at adding new retailers to its Fresh from Florida programs to increase sales of Sunshine State produce.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' division of marketing, based in Tallahassee, promotes the state's fruits and vegetables through retail-based campaigns.
The agency provides retail incentives to run advertisements featuring the Fresh from Florida logo. The agency this year expects a minimum of 10,000 individual stores to display the logo and promote Florida produce in their weekly store ads.
That number could increase to 15,000 stores, said Dan Sleep, senior marketing analyst.
Programs help grow sales
The Winter Circle program promotes Florida-grown produce in the region while the Global Grid campaign works with retailers throughout North and South America, Europe and Southeast Asia.
For the Winter Circle program, the agency plans to add some small chains to the lineup of participating chains that includes Publix Super Markets Inc., Lakeland; Sweetbay Supermarkets, Tampa; Harvey Co. Inc., Nashville, Ga.; and Whole Foods Market Inc., Austin, Texas.
Internationally, the agency plans to add 10 retailers in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, South Korea, Singapore, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and a number of Caribbean countries.
The program focuses on grapefruit in the United Kingdom and Southeast Asia and is testing sweet corn sales in Scandinavia.
In South Korea, the agency is working with 450 stores, up from the handful that participated in 2007 when the stores imported 60,000 cartons of grapefruit. Currently, those retailers run promotions for 235,000 cartons, Sleep said.
In Singapore, supermarkets bought 2,400 cases of valencia oranges in 2010. In 2011, they increased their purchases to 6,200 cases.
The success of grapefruit and orange sales prompted the department to try to introduce other items to South Korea and Singapore, Sleep said.
For European corn exports, the agency helped Florida shippers send two containers of 3,000 crates to a major United Kingdom chain.
The following year, exports to the U.K. increased to 400 containers, expanding sales from $1 million to $5.4 million, Sleep said.
"There's decent potential to see that repeated elsewhere," he said. "It's a vibrant program we're watching."
About 3,200 overseas stores participate, Sleep said.
Increase in promotions
In the U.S., Publix took the initiative and, at its own expense, displays Fresh from Florida point-of-sale material in front of Florida produce, Sleep said.
Overall, the agency expects 50 retailers throughout the world to promote Florida produce through 412,000 individual store advertisements, higher than the 400,000 ads that ran last year, Sleep said. Typically, the program sees a minimum of 325,000 individual store advertisements, he said.
Participating chains run an average of 35 Fresh from Florida ads promoting 19 commodities.
The state this year is investing $500,000 in its retail promotions, similar to previous years, Sleep said.
"Consumers know that the Fresh from Florida brand represents quality and affordability," Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said.
"For generations, Florida's farmers have taken pride in providing fresh fruits, vegetables and citrus to consumers across the nation and in more than 100 other countries."

Second line scoring? Check.
A checking forward? Check.
A rock-solid defense? Well, we'll have wait a few months before we sign off on that.
But for the most part, Ducks general manager Bob Murray has addressed the areas he set out to in the offseason.
When the Ducks open training camp next month, there will be a healthy mix of veterans and youngsters vying for spots on offense, defense and in the net.
"I think we've created an atmosphere where there is going to be competitions for ice time and in different roles," Murray said.
"I think that is healthy. I always think competition from within is good. I think you're going to see there is going to be a lot of spots out there where there is going to be competition for ice time. As a player, that is what you want. You want ice time. You want to play. I think we've created a good competition here at the moment."
Coach Randy Carlyle will be charged with forming a new checking line now that two-thirds of last season's – Rob Niedermayer and Drew Miller – won't be with the team.
Thursday's trade that brought Evgeny Artyukhin to the Ducks gives the club another option for that third line, with Petteri Nokelainen, Mike Brown, Ryan Carter in the mix as well.
Defensively, the Ducks are breaking in several new blueliners who will collectively try to make up for the loss of top-four defensemen Chris Pronger and Francois Beauchemin.
Veterans Nick Boynton and Steve McCarthy were offseason acquisitions who will be in the mix with youngsters Luca Sbisa (above), Brett Festerling, Brendan Mikkelson and Brian Salcido.
Behind the defense sits goaltender Justin Pogge, who must secure the No.3 job by putting past pressures behind him.
Murray acquired Pogge from Toronto last week in a rare summer goaltending move for the Ducks. That trade, along with Artyukhin, essentially completes the team's makeover that began with the acquisitions of Saku Koivu and Joffrey Lupul.
Said Murray, "Now I think we're in a position where we go to camp."

ST JOSEPH'S star Gary Buckland believes his experience can put an end to Richard Commey's perfect record when the pair clash for the Commonwealth lightweight title on Saturday night.
African champion Commey, from Accra in Ghana, has won all 17 of his fights as a professional and all by way of knockout.
But Buckland, who trains at St Joes in Newport with Tony Borg, is determined to get back to winning ways after a split decision defeat in his rematch with Newbridge's Gavin Rees in May.
Both fighters have beaten tough Middlesbrough man Paul Truscott in the last two years and Buckland sees those fights as a good guide to how Saturday's clash at London's York Hall will play out.
"Commey's record is impressive but I think I'm his biggest test to date and hopefully I can put an end to his record," said the 28-year-old.
"I've watched the Paul Truscott fight and he stopped him but I don't think that should have been a stoppage.
"I reckon I did a better job on Paul Truscott than he did. I beat him up for 12 rounds.
"It's important to win this one," he added. "He's a good boy but I'm going there to win and bring that title back."
Despite defeat to Rees in their second bout after winning the first, Buckland knows that the two titanic tussles have earned him a lot of credit in the sport.
"I thought it was a fair result last time and I thought he'd won it by a lot more but when I watched it back it was a close fight and he just boxed the right fight and kept away nicely," he said of the rematch.
"Gav was ready to retire but he was still an awkward opponent and he's done the sport proud over so many years.
"He's a former world champion and I beat him, then he beat me so I think I've come out with a bit of credit.
"It didn't do me any harm because I've got a title fight straight away now."
And the former British super-featherweight champion knows that he can always drop down a weight if the right opportunity comes along.
"I'm still keeping my options open," he said. "I'll always want to come back down to win the British super-featherweight belt outright but a Commonwealth title at lightweight was too tempting.
"I'm feeling great and ready to put on a good show on Saturday," he added after road running with Newport County AFC footballer Mike Flynn as part of his fitness regime.
"I've been training with a few of the football guys," he explained. "I was running on the roads with Flynny and a few others but I left them behind after ten minutes!"

Hi there.
Time for my bag thread
I started last year and tried to play once or twice a week during the summer. Winter was bad and rainy so not much discgolf there.
First i bought a Discraft Starter Pack and added a few discs since then.
I throw my drivers around 300, midranges about 270 and putters up to 240 feet. I posted a video in the technique section of my backhand: http://www.discgolfreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=25739.
I know there are many spots missing in my lineup but consider this thread work in progress.
Right now i have in my bag:
Yeti 4x Aviar - Pro - 175g
Main putter.
Soft Focus - Elite X - 170g
Main approach disk, not skippy and good control.
Soft Magnet - Pro D - 176g
Was in the starterbag. First putter. Never got putting going with the soft mold. Now an approach disk i throw in windy conditions.
Buzzz - Elite Z - 178g
Main midrange. Used for all kind of shots.
Comet - Elite X - 164g
Was in the starterbag. Now primary utility disk. Short rollers, thumbers.
Stalker - Elite Z - 171g
Main driver. Just own it 2 weeks but i can throw it very reliable on straight line with light fade at the end.
Sidewinder - Champ - 161g
Main understable driver. All anhyzershots. Some open field drives in non windy conditions.
Glide - Elite Z - 169g
Shorter us throws.
Surge - Elite Z - 174g
Dont throw it. Too fast for me. Fades after 150 feet hard left. Need more power before i can use it.
Xpress - Elite X - 171g
Previous main us driver. Liked it for tunnel shots. Lost it last weekend, so not availible anymore.
Right now i can throw up to speed 9 disks. The Surge (Speed 11) is way too fast for me. I never tried a speed 10 disk yet. I dont have any overstable stuff in my bag. Mostly unterstable disks. So there are many spots to fill. I dont want a too blown up bag, just keep it simple.
Maybe add an OS Fairway Driver for winds and hyzer shots next? And a very light speed 10/11 disk for more disctance ?

I wouldn't say so. It is built upon it, but it's more than just "another way to express it." The Hua-Yen/Avatamsaka Sutra teaching is what you get if you take the Buddha's paticcasamuppada teaching and then indulge in an overdose of conceptual proliferation (or maybe mescaline).
Macavity wrote:Consider eye-consciousnesss, for instance. The Theravada suttas say: "Dependent on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises; the meeting of the three is contact; with contact as condition there is feeling; with feeling as condition there is craving."
But from a Hua-Yen point of view that's just a provisional teaching for followers of the Lesser Vehicle. The Hua-Yen version would be more like this: Eye-consciousness arises dependent on every dharma that has ever existed in the ten thousandfold world-system throughout the entire history of the universe; dependent on every dharma that presently exists in the entire ten thousandfold world-system; and (believe it or not) dependent even on the dharmas that don't yet exist but which will arise in the future.

Macavity wrote:Individual wrote:This isn't difficult to see when looking at causality directly as it is, and not through the lens of Theravadin Abhidhamma.
The Buddha taught only dukkha and its cessation. What he taught about eye-consciousness, is all that a person needs to know about eye-consciousness for the sake of developing insight and ending dukkha that arises due to eye-consciousness. Likewise with all other dhammas.
Any proposed causal additions to this are unnecessary proliferations that are of no dhammic interest at all.
Individual wrote:And perhaps it's what you get in deep meditation or the way a Buddha might see the world with his divine eye?
Thanissaro wrote:Although at present we rarely think in the same terms as the Samkhya philosophers, there has long been — and still is — a common tendency to create a "Buddhist" metaphysics in which the experience of emptiness, the Unconditioned, the Dharma-body, Buddha-nature, rigpa, etc., is said to function as the ground of being from which the "All" — the entirety of our sensory & mental experience — is said to spring and to which we return when we meditate. Some people think that these theories are the inventions of scholars without any direct meditative experience, but actually they have most often originated among meditators, who label (or in the words of the discourse, "perceive") a particular meditative experience as the ultimate goal, identify with it in a subtle way (as when we are told that "we are the knowing"), and then view that level of experience as the ground of being out of which all other experience comes.
Any teaching that follows these lines would be subject to the same criticism that the Buddha directed against the monks who first heard this discourse.
Individual wrote:But dukkha has a very broad foundation: craving and birth.
In teaching dukkha, he taught ultimate reality and the mechanism by which the world changes.
Macavity wrote:
So no call to go concerning ourselves with all dhammas everywhere, or butterfly effects, or jewel nets of Indra etc.
"With the tranquil mind investigate the meditation subject which is the body, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, then back to the head. Do this over and over again. Look at and see the hair of the head, hair of the body, the nails, teeth and skin. In this meditation we will see that this whole body is composed of four "elements': earth, water, fire and wind.
The hard and solid parts of our body make up the earth element; the liquid and flowing parts, the water element. Winds that pass up and down our body make up the wind element, and the heat in our body, the fire element.
Taken together, they compose what we call a "human being." However, when the body is broken down into its component parts, only these four elements remain. The Buddha taught that there is no "being" per se, no human, no Thai, no Westerner, no person, but that ultimately, there are only these four elements -- that's all! We assume that there is a person or a "being" but, in reality, there isn't anything of the sort.
Whether taken separately as earth, water, fire and wind, or taken together labelling what they form a "human being," they're all impermanent, subject to suffering and not-self. They are all unstable, uncertain and in a state of constant change -- not stable for a single moment!
Our body is unstable, altering and changing constantly. Hair changes, nails change, teeth change, skin changes -- everything changes, completely!
Our mind, too, is always changing. It isn't a self or substance. It isn't really "us," not really "them," although it may think so. Maybe it will think about killing itself. Maybe it will think of happiness or of suffering -- all sorts of things! It's unstable. If we don't have wisdom and we believe this mind of ours, it'll lie to us continually. And we alternately suffer and be happy.
This mind is an uncertain thing. This body is uncertain. Together they are impermanent. Together they are a source of suffering. Together they are devoid of self. These, the Buddha pointed out, are neither a being, nor a person, nor a self, nor a soul, nor us, nor they. They are merely elements: earth, water, fire and wind. Elements only!
When the mind sees this, it will rid itself of attachment which holds that "I" am beautiful, "I" am good, "I" am evil, "I" am suffering, "I" have, "I" this or "I" that. You will experience a state of unity, for you'll have seen that all of mankind is basically the same. There is no "I." There are only elements.
When you contemplate and see impermanence, suffering and not-self, there will no longer be clinging to a self, a being, I or he or she. The mind which sees this will give rise to Nibbida, world-weariness and dispassion. It will see all things as only impermanent, suffering and not-self.
The mind then stops. The mind is Dhamma. Greed, hatred and delusion will then diminish and recede little by little until finally there is only mind -- just the pure mind."
Ajahn Chah
excerpt from A Gift of Dhamma
What is non-self, Anatta (Pali)? It means impermanence. If things are impermanent, they don't remain the same things forever. You of this moment are no longer you of a minute ago. There is no permanent entity within us, there is only a stream of being. There is always a lot of input and output. The input and the output happen in every second, and we should learn how to look at life as streams of being, and not as separate entities. This is a very profound teaching of the Buddha.
A flower cannot be by herself alone. A flower has to "inter-be" with everything else that is called non-flower. That is what we call inter-being. You cannot be, you can only inter-be. The word inter-be can reveal more of the reality than the word "to be". You cannot be by yourself alone, you have to inter-be with everything else. So the true nature of the flower is the nature of inter-being, the nature of no self. The flower is there, beautiful, fragrant, yes, but the flower is empty of a separate self. To be empty is not a negative note. Nagarjuna, of the second century, said that because of emptiness, everything becomes possible.
So a flower is described as empty. But I like to say it differently. A flower is empty only of a separate self, but a flower is full of everything else. The whole cosmos can be seen, can be identified, can be touched, in one flower. So to say that the flower is empty of a separate self also means that the flower is full of the cosmos. It's the same thing. So you are of the same nature as a flower: you are empty of a separate self, but you are full of the cosmos.. So non-self is another guide that Buddha offers us in order for us to successfully practice looking deeply.
What does it mean to look deeply? Looking deeply means to look in such a way that the true nature of impermanence and non-self can reveal themselves to you. Looking into yourself, looking into the flower, you can touch the nature of impermanence and the nature of non-self, and if you can touch the nature of impermanence and non-self deeply, you can also touch the nature of nirvana, which is the Third Dharma Seal.

Nothing wrong with it, either, is there?
Macavity wrote:It seems to me that the time we spend thinking about these things is at best time wasted ... time spent in a way that is not conducive to progress in the Dhamma. But of course this would be equally true of countless other pointless activities that most of us indulge in. So I don't want to single out speculating on jewel nets of Indra as being somehow worse than other kinds of proliferation and self-indulgence.
But if when thinking about jewel nets of Indra and so on, we imagine that we are NOT in fact wasting our time, and that such thinking is important and has some kind of vital connection with the Dhamma, then there is something wrong with it, for we are not only wasting our time but also nurturing the wrong view that an unprofitable course of activity is in fact profitable.
Sadly, for the most part this is exactly what the admirers of the Avatamsaka Sutra and Hua Yen philosophy are usually doing. They really do believe that these lush and phantasmagorical texts have some vital connection with the Buddha's Dhamma.
Macavity wrote:Individual wrote:But dukkha has a very broad foundation: craving and birth.
Don't you mean ignorance and craving? Birth is normally treated as part of the fact of dukkha (the first noble truth), not the cause of dukkha.
Macavity wrote:In teaching dukkha, he taught ultimate reality and the mechanism by which the world changes.
And that 'world', along with its arising, its ceasing, and the path to its ceasing, are all included in this fathom-long body. http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn02/sn02.026.than.html
So no call to go concerning ourselves with all dhammas everywhere, or butterfly effects, or jewel nets of Indra etc.
It's not to be reached by traveling, the end of the cosmos — regardless. And it's not without reaching the end of the cosmos that there is release from suffering & stress.
So, truly, the wise one, an expert with regard to the cosmos, a knower of the end of the cosmos, having fulfilled the holy life, calmed, knowing the cosmos' end, doesn't long for this cosmos or for any other.
Individual wrote:Ignorance, craving, and birth are all connected. Each of them condition eachother. Birth is a fact of dukkha, which also conditions further dukkha. It is because of craving and ignorance that people are born, thus craving conditions suffering, but birth is the context in which suffering occurs, and suffering cannot occur without it.
christopher::: wrote:And you make this powerful assessment based on..... ?
There is no one single way to teach or practice the dhamma, is there?
Tantrayogi wrote:I would not dismiss Hua Yen teachings as self-indulging or a waste of time.
You can't agree with those teachings and that's perfectly fine, but denying its connection with Buddha's Dhamma seems to me a bit unrespectfull.

Founding partner,
One of the problems with writing Private View is that it's not very private and, if you are making your views public, you don't want them to be based on preconceptions.
But it's tough. You get the ads, skim through the agencies - a bunch of preconceptions set in right there. The Mother ad's probably funnier than McCann's one - that kind of thing (sorry, Nic). Then you check the client list - another layer of preconceptions. Finally, the people - she's brilliant, he's a moron, I thought he was dead, she bakes a good sponge. It's a nightmare.
Being aware that all this stuff is colouring my view, I'll try to logic my way into levelling the playing field. With facts such as Grey isn't peddling the filth it was when I first got into the business - it did that Vinnie Jones heart ad that I liked. And Mother isn't the reactionary new kid on the block - it's huge; probably bigger than Grey, for Chrissake.
So, Mother and HTC. I'm guessing it's two parts funny, one part hip. Wrong! It's a five-minute product demo. A young American dude with a particularly cool hairdo prepares to do a fashion shoot in midair. We go through the associated challenge: what dress could stand the wind turbulence etc? Then we see him achieve it. It's three parts "cool", two parts "demo", with a dash of "reality" mixed in. I leave it thinking the camera on the HTC is probably good.
Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and Walkers. Well, I'm going out on a limb here: but I'm guessing it involves Lineker? Horsing around with a celebrity or members of the public? Bingo! It's a formula, but it's a formula that has made Walkers one hell of a pile of cash.
Adam & Eve and lastminute.com. Tricky. Lastminute.com generally does shouty offer ads; Adam & Eve has done some really good emotional stuff lately. The posters are not quite one thing or another. There's an offer, but it's got the word "from" in it. I'm not a big fan of the word "from" when it's sat next to a number.Does anyone really believe they'll get what's in the picture for the number next to the "from"? Take the offer away and you're left with a list of things that most reasonable hotels offer. If you're called lastminute.com, surely you have to go with it, appeal to the unorganised, the worried-they-may-be-paying-over-the-odds, people afraid of commitment etc.
The Red Brick Road and Tesco. Er ... prices pinging, famous voiceover and a witty sign-off? Kerwrong! A women's outfit changes magically with every door she walks through. If the brief was "we need to show six outfits from next season's collection", it's an elegant solution.
McCann and Sony. Slick-looking product demo with a voiceover? Wrong! Little boys imagine how a Sony Xperia phone works. Their thoughts are illustrated in a really cool, homemade way. Kind of Blue Peter-stylee: "Xperia. Made of imagination." The kids have some ludicrous ideas about how phones work, so the films are very charming and endearing. (Come to think of it, how do smartphones work?) It's the yin to the HTC yang - all charm and emotion, nothing tangible. Given the choice of watching the HTC or Xperia ad again, I'd choose the Xperia. If I was offered the choice of phone from either set, I'd take the HTC.
Grey and Greene King. No preconceptions. The only thing that may colour my view is that we work with its bitter local rival, Adnams. We see various jolly people drink beer and smile in slow-motion accompanied by obligatory folk music: "Greene King. Crafted for the moment since 1777." I just don't believe "the moment" is ownable by Greene King.
So there we have it. Mother is doing product demos, McCann is doing crazy creative shit (I mean shit in a good way, like the kids say), lastminute.com is coming over like YearInAdvance and Tesco is running ads without dinging prices.
We're through the looking glass, people.

HTC. Is that Lady Gaga walking on to stage? Oh no, she's falling out of a plane! Such an adrenalin junkie! The music starts - it sounds like the deep throb of propellor rotors - and Gaga's now free-falling elegantly away. Is there no limit to her talents? Along for the ride comes her own personal lighting man - of course, she has to look good wherever she goes. But what's this? There's a young dude with the perfect haircut for free-falling at 126mph and he has his phone out. Paparazzi alert! Not any phone, mind you, but an HTC smartphone that can take video and photos in tandem. Then, unfortunately, this beautifully crafted ad comes crashing down to earth, for me, because it introduces us to him. His name is Nick the photography student and that isn't Gaga, it's his model - he's on his first-ever fashion shoot! Oh well, there you go. Back to the real world of make-believe with a bump.
Greene King. I've been to a number of pubs like the one in this urban village and, I too, on occasion, have moved around in slow-motion for most of the evening. Yes, it has usually been due to the same amounts of fine cask ale that these jolly folk have consumed in getting them in the mood to be this happy. The tune is memorable: it is melancholic and wistful and carries you around the high-spirited antics of these happy-go-lucky urbanites with their top buttons fastened and varying degrees of facial hair. On the whole, I was left feeling like I was in need of a bit of fresh country air, not city smog.
Walkers. It's always nice to have some crisps with my beer while watching Match Of The Day. Walkers has produced a baked crisp that is good for the waistline - result! With this ad, the brand uses its tried-and-tested formula of association with my favourite Saturday-night football show host to sell a new line to the more health-conscious crisp-eater among us. I didn't laugh.
Tesco. I have often wished that I could move from one sartorial combination to another just by walking from room to room; unfortunately, I'm not your average Tesco mum, who it would seem can do it all without breaking stride. There are a few nice little touches among the transitions in this ad, and I think the ad is right for this market. I would have loved to see more made of the cartoon quality, as the set looks rather confused.
Lastminute.com. Lastminute.com has changed its advertising direction away from its previous approach of spontaneity, which always looked like a fun time, to the brand's ethos of making the unattainable attainable. Now I feel that the well-shot colour ads are, while attempting to make the consumer appear heroic, in fact a little too much on the smug side.
Sony. I sometimes wonder to myself what makes a smartphone smart but, being a rather frugal individual, I have never had the nerve to open one up for my own curiosity, only to have to buy a new one when I realise my complete ineptitude at reassembling this little wonder of technology. Enter the new Sony Xperia and a clever kid called Jake Ryan, who happens to be eight and has the answers to my inquisitiveness. Tiny little robots - who would have thought it? The overall feeling of this ad is playful with some charming elements. The animated robots are a little cool and graphic for my liking, so a more naive quality would have completely endeared me to the ad.

A retail POS VAR and MSP (managed services provider) wins a $30,000 subscription-based POS and managed services install with a specialty retailer that includes recurring revenue and upsell opportunities.
A majority of Randy Roe's 25+ years' experience in the retail POS space has been spent running VAR companies with other business partners. One thing that never made his previous business ventures a perfect fit, however, was the fact that his other business partners were never all in agreement with his progressive ideas about bundling POS systems with managed services and offering hosted POS systems as an alternative to premise-based POS systems. In March 2011, Roe had the opportunity to start his own retail POS VAR company, Retail Technology Services (RTS) and, as the sole founder, was finally able to act upon his insights about cloud POS and managed services.
The process of finding a cloud POS vendor partner wasn't an instant success, and Roe's decision to venture into an area that's uncharted by many retail VARs was tested early on. One of the first companies with which he partnered ended up being acquired by a major bank and dropping its reseller program. But Roe's determination never wavered, and he was eventually vindicated about a year ago, following a POS win with Ben Franklin Crafts in Redmond, WA.

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Hayward woman to 10 years in prison for the possession and distribution of oxycodone, authorities said.
Ella Mae Simpson, 55, pleaded guilty May 18 to several charges involving the distribution and possession of the drug, federal prosecutors said in a news release.
The charges stemmed from several incidents in 2011. On June 9, 2011, police seized more than $235,000 and with a firearm from Simpson's home, prosecutors said. She later admitted to possessing and selling the drug over several months, prosecutors said.
Simpson was sentenced Tuesday to a decade in prison and was also ordered to forfeit the money. The judge also imposed a three-year period of supervised release.
Simpson was ordered to report to prison on March 22.

GARY Bowyer has set his wingers the ambitious target of firing 30 goals between them this season to make Blackburn Rovers even more of an attacking force.
Rovers boss Bowyer has no doubt Craig Conway, Ben Marshall and Josh King will supply a string of chances for frontmen Jordan Rhodes, Rudy Gestede, Chris Brown and Luke Varney.
But he also wants the trio to weigh in with more than their fair share of strikes.
Injuries restricted Marshall and King to just two goals each last season.
But Conway proved more prolific as he found the net four times in 18 games following his £100,000 switch from Cardiff City.
And Bowyer believes that shows it is possible for each of his widemen to make a push for double figures across the course of the campaign.
He said: "We are going to fantastic supply next season from Craig, Marshy and Josh and the forwards should rightfully be excited.
"But we can't just expect the strikers to get all our goals.
"That's why I've got to challenge the wide lads. They have got to be looking to get close to double figures if not double figures this season.
"The wide players have to contribute in terms of goals and I see no reason why they can't.
"Craig got four and he only joined us at the end of January so it shows it can be done."
Marshall missed the final three months of the 2013-14 campaign with ankle ligament damage.
But he will be ready to hit the ground running when pre-season gets under way on Wednesday after he and right back Adam Henley, right, who suffered a similar injury in March, returned to training a week early.
Bowyer said: "It was something that we thought was the best thing for them and we're delighted that they were more than happy to do it."
Both of the Rovers manager's summer signings, Brown and Varney, will be present at Brockhall on Wednesday.
Varney will be announced as a Rovers player tomorrow after his contract at Leeds officially expires.
And Bowyer is still working hard to make two further additions to his squad.
A defender is his top priority and he has once again been linked with released Sunderland youngster John Egan.
The 21-year-old Irishman was let go by the Black Cats at the end of last season after enjoying a successful loan spell in League Two with Southend United.
Southend would like to sign Egan permanently but their manager Phil Brown has said he will be joining a club from a 'higher level'.
There has also been speculation that Bowyer is chasing West Ham United goalkeeper Stephen Henderson.
It is not the first time that Rovers reportedly been interested in the 26-year-old Irishman. In the 2013 January transfer window Henderson was lined up to be part of a deal that took Paul Robinson to West Ham. The deal eventually fell through.
Rovers currently have three senior goalkeepers on their books– Robinson, Jake Kean, and Simon Eastwood. It is unlikely another keeper will be brought in without one going out.

Puppy Insurance Comparison
Comparing puppy insurance
Comparing puppy insurance can be confusing, especially if it's your first time. There are a wide variety of different pet insurance companies offering different types of policies, so how can you compare puppy insurance to make sure you choose the right one for you?
Choosing the right pet insurer can be the difference between saving your puppy's life and saving the pennies on vet bills. We all want what is best for our pet, but we don't want it to break the bank. It is advised that you compare the insurance policies available for your puppy so that you can make sure you're choosing the one that suits them best. The cheapest option available might not necessarily be the best in the long run.
When using comparison sites it is worth noting that not every company that offers pet insurance will be listed on these sites. You might want to try a few different websites to ensure you are being offered the best deals.
With the majority of companies, you will need to enter basic information about your puppy and yourself. You will need to know what breed your puppy is, whether they are a pedigree or not, how old they are, their microchip number (if they have one) and how much you paid for them. If you paid for your puppy, you will need a valid receipt for proof of purchase, as in the event of death, your insurance company may not be able to cover the exact cost of purchase without it.
What to look for when comparing puppy insurance
When looking at the different policies on offer, the three most important things to note are:
- Type of cover: These have names such as 'Max Benefit', 'Time Limited', 'Accident Only', and 'Extra'.
- Vet Excess Fee: This is how much you, the pet owner, will have to pay on any claim you make. So if your excess is £65 and your vet bill comes to £200, you will have to pay the first £65, and will receive £135 back from the insurance company if an eligible claim has been made.
- Vet Fees: This is what your insurance company will pay for vet fees. It will specify whether it is 'per condition' or for all conditions claimed for.
An example:
A 12 month policy may cover up to £3,000 in vet fees and will have an excess fee - for example £75. This means if you were to make a claim for your pet that costs £3,000, it should be completely covered (although you would need to pay the excess fee with each claim). However, if you had to make a claim that would cost £3,700, you would have to pay the extra £200 yourself as well as the £75 excess fee. At the end of the 12 months, if you decided to renew your policy, your vet fee costs should also be renewed, and you should be able to claim up to £3,500 in the following 12 months.
This example is for illustration purposes only, and actual figures may differ depending on individual circumstances. Insurance Terms of Business apply.
It is good to compare all three factors when looking at pet insurance, as well as the cost of the pet insurance itself. You might only be paying £3.99 a month for your pet insurance, but the excess fee could set you back £95, and vet costs may only cover up to £1,000. Only you can decide which policy is best for your puppy.

Drug: laronidase
0.58 mg/ml solution for intravenous injection, dose 1.74 mg intrathecally once per month for four injections.
Other Name: Aldurazyme
Detailed Description:
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been developed for mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a lysosomal storage disorder. ERT helps many physical ailments due to the disease, but does not treat the central nervous system, due to inability to cross the blood brain barrier. Our purpose is to test delivery of ERT to the spinal fluid via intrathecal injection in patients with MPS I. In this pilot study, we will use recombinant human α-L-iduronidase administered intrathecally once per month for four months to individuals with the Hurler-Scheie and Scheie forms of MPS I and spinal cord compression. If successful, intrathecal delivery could represent a practical, straightforward method of treating central nervous system disease due to lysosomal storage.

West Ham boss welcomes Olympic Stadium move
PUBLISHED: 13:16 07 December 2012 | UPDATED: 17:00 07 December 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce believes moving to the Olympic Stadium would be hugely beneficial to the future of the club.
The London Legacy Development Corporation board (LLDC) this week unanimously made the decision in favour of the Premier League club becoming the preferred bidder for the use of the venue.
A final deal is some way from being struck between the LLDC and the Hammers but Allardyce reckons a move away from Upton Park will be great for West Ham.
"I think it is outstanding news for the football club for the future," he said.
"There is still a long way to go, I know that, but we are in the driving seat and I just hope they can continue to move it forward and deliver what would be a fantastic venue in the future of West Ham United."
Allardyce has praised the support his players receive from the fans at Upton Park but thinks a bigger crowd at the Olympic Stadium would lead to even better backing from the stands.
"There was a wonderful atmosphere at Highbury but there is a better atmosphere at the Emirates, that says it all doesn't it," he said.
"We have a wonderful atmosphere at Upton Park and it would be even better at the Olympic Park."
Although he is clearly pleased with the outcome of the LLDC decision Allardyce was quick to point out he remains focused on the present and the visit of Liverpool on Sunday with his team still struggling with a number of players on the treatment table.
He said: "I'm far too busy focusing on football and Liverpool at the moment to consider that, it is not in my domain at the moment.
"Mine is getting these players ready for Liverpool with our injury plight still a concern - a great result doesn't overshadow the fact we are struggling with injuries.
"The squad is at its limit at the moment and we have to try and get those players back as quickly as possible with the hardest month of the year coming up."

Being as I am a "techno producer" and travel around to different countries to perform the Grooverider story grabbed my attention. Grooverider who's real name is Raymond Bingham is from London and is known for Drum & Bass. Here's what happened:
On 24 November 2007 Grooverider was arrested at Dubai International Airport for possession of 2.16 grs of cannabis, hours before a sold-out show at superclub The Lodge. He claimed he had forgotten it was in a pair of his trousers. On the 19 February 2008 he was sentenced to four years imprisonment followed by immediate deportation. – Wikipedia.org
There are two obvious reactions to this story. First, you have to think, "What an idiot to travel to a Muslim country with drugs on him.". Second you think, "4 years in jail for a small amount of weed. Dubai is a nasty place!".
I've been throughly searched countless times. I remember in 2001, back in "messy" times. I performed in Amsterdam with a friend of mine who will remain nameless. I'll admit we were both pretty wasted after the show to the point we changed our flights back to New York to leave two days later. The last night I finally wanted some sleep but he went out again. He borrowed my jacket for some reason. A week later back in New York I went out and discovered a full bag of cocaine in my jacket pocket. I wore that exact jacket from Amsterdam to New York! Imagine I was flying to Dubai? Whenever I tell an old drug story I like to point out that I've been sober more than a few years now (applause please).
There is an online petition to get Grooverider out of jail: click here
More info on Beatportal: click here
So what do you think? Did he deserve it? Would you ever touch ground in Dubai?

text: Today I switched to apache (didn't do anything, no changes to files) Switched back to Litespeed then got a lot of errors mysql and php not working properly, across the entire server I logged into the ls admin cp, and it tells me to upgrade even though I have the latest version. So I do the upgrade anyways. Next I try to recompile php through the whm plugin but I get an error that only shows in red "phpino ()" Next I uninstall litespeed, gonna do a fresh install Then I realize I don't remember my license number. Not sure where to get it either, doesn't seem to be in the modern bill or any of the navigations at the top of the site. Anyone know where do get this license number? Also I noticed somethings.... I reboot the server with apache running. After all the start up stuff, php mysql everything works fine. Switch to Litespeed Mysql Fails immediately Switch back to apache, a bunch of php and mysql errors happen I have to restart apache to get everything working again. This is before I uninstalled litespeed. So if I switch to litespeed and back to apache I get mysql errors. Edit: Okay got my license Did reinstall to latest version Went to compile php but I get errors in the ls admin cp I get the red "phpinfo ()" thing still in plugin for whm as well. Should I recompile apache and see what happens? Edit: Is it possible that it has to do with mysql root password? My forums are reporting that

Corn futures are lower at midday. USDA reported corn export sales to Mexico and South Korea for 2012/13 delivery. Spot basis levels are strong amid solid demand and slow farmer selling. Tight old-crop stocks are helping support nearby futures, but favorable new-crop prospects are weighing on December futures. The December contract fell to the lowest level in more than a year. Outside markets are sharply lower with crude oil down more than $4.00 per barrel. July corn is 4 ½ cents lower at $6.10. The December contract is 7 ½ cents lower at $5.22.
Soybean futures are trading lower at midsession. Soybeans opened slightly higher after a strong decline in prices on Thursday. Outside factors such as good rains in the US Midwest, sharply lower crude oil, and a discouraging U.S. jobs report may be placing downward pressure on prices. Additionally, USDA reported export sales of 120,000 tonnes of soybeans deliverable to unknown destination during the 2012/2013 marketing year. This should encourage soybean prices. The July contract is down 10 1/4 cents at $14.63 1/4, and the November contract is up 11 3/4 cents at 13.56 1/2.
Wheat futures are trading lower at midday. The higher-than-expected Kansas Wheat Tour production estimate is only a minor factor. The larger factor is more negative economic reports that have the outside markets down sharply; especially crude oil. Another factor is weakening corn prices on improving weather and rapid planting progress. With wheat competitive as a feed grain, it is frequently joined-at-the-hip, you might say, to trends in corn prices. CBOT July is 11 cents lower at $6.04 ½; KCBT July is 8 ½ cents lower at $6.24 ½; MGE 4 1/2 cents higher at $6.36, and MGE July is 6 ¾ cents lower at $7.38 ¾.
Cattle futures are lower at midday. Futures turned lower on profit-taking amid weakness in the outside markets and as traders await action in the cash cattle markets. The monthly jobs report showed a disappointing level of job creation in April. The economy only added 115,000 new jobs compared to expectations of 160,000. The stock market is down along grains and livestock generally. June cattle futures are 47 cents lower at $115.40 and August is 77 cents lower at $117.77.
Lean hog futures are mostly lower at midday. Weakness in cash hog prices and wholesale pork prices on Thursday are putting pressure on futures prices Friday morning. The June contract is down by well over a dollar but deferred contracts are showing some signs of strength. October and December contracts are posting small gains at midday. The June contract is down $1.77 at midday, falling to $83.15.

Critically acclaimed, best-selling novelist Bernard Cornwell takes listeners back to 1807 for an exciting tale of the Napoleonic Wars. Cornwell's beloved hero, Richard Sharpe, is sent from England to Denmark on a secret mission. But as England and France fight over the powerful Danish fleet, Sharpe finds himself trapped in the war-torn city of Copenhagen.
©2002 Bernard Cornwell (P)2002 Recorded Books, LLC
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Sharpe's Prey: Denmark 1807"
I was unaware that England attacked Denmark during the Napoleonic wars. I found this story most fascinating. The description of life in Denmark at the time made me feel as if I was there. Cornwell is a master of battle scenes and the destruction of the City was very realistic. Can not wait to read more in the series.
Long haul commuter. Audiobooks keep me from causing serious physical harm to my fellow commuters. Bless you, Audible!
"Sharpe's Prey"
If you are a fan of Sharpe and Bernard, this one will not disappoint. Being the transitionatory book between Trafalgar and Rifles it provides a glimpes into Sharpe's more sensitive side as well as his savage, vengeful side. I'll say no more.
"Didn't like narration"
Good story but Patrick Tull, while certainly talented, makes every character sound like a senior citizen.
An avid book "listener". As I own my own dental lab,I make teeth sitting at a bench all day, I have plenty of time to enjoy Audible titles
"What else is there to say... It is Sharpe!"
I would listen again, if only because I enjoy listening to nearly all of my Audible purchases multiple times. If I like a story, and I do like this story, it will absolutely get more than one listen and I am a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell's body of work, not to mention the life that Patrick Tull breaths into any story he narates.
If you like one Sharpe's book, I would be surprised if you would be disappointed in any of them.
"Great book, below average narration"
I love the Sharp books, and this one is great. A little slow at first but some great moments throughout, and it definitely ramps up to a great conclusion. I have listened to other Sharp books which were narrated by Mr. Davidson, and his narration is much better than Mr. Tull's narration of this book. Mr. Tull's narration is less clear and required me to turn the volume up much higher and to rewind often to understand what was said. He was also less clear in distinguishing different characters. I'm very glad that the next title in the series, Sharpe's Rifles, is again narrated by Mr. Davidson.
Currently a local truck driver who has hours to listen to my audio books. I am hooked, some of my fellow drivers enjoy them also
"Sharpe keeps up the action and trouble"
Trouble Action Gold
The end where he donated to rebuild the lost orphanage
I liked alot of them some tender others full of action
Cornwell can write a very interesting story and I plan to read more
"Best of the prequels"
This is a very exciting and interesting chapter. I am listening in chrono order and this is the best so far.
Classics, history, historical fiction, marketing, Napoleonic stuff and of course 'Boys own Adventure'. This is my bent. Occasional self help as well.
"Grumpy Old Man Sharpe"
Don't get me wrong by my title, this is an excellent book. Full of twists and turns and action to boot. You wonder how Sharpe's career has ended up in the quartermasters store with his contacts and abilities but there you go, the British Army wasn't a meritocracy.
It is a pity that this series didn't move into a ruthless spy story set in the period, but Sharpe is no 007. He is good at killing and has a knack of staying alive even when he hasn't a clue what is going on.
The villains are good in this book, the people he meets real although at times a little formulatic and of course Sharpe's technical abilities like shooting or dirty fighting are excellent. This is one of Bernard Cornwell's great stories. Could be as it was written well after the series was started but it slides in very nicely. I believe the next in the series is Sharpe's Rifles, which got me hooked on the series well before this book was ever written.
Now the only problem is Patrick Tull. He is excellent reading the story and fantastic with the accents but, Richard Sharpe's voice sounds like a grumpy old man. Could be I like the other narrators or Sean Beans voice, but Patrick Tull does Sharpe no favours.
One other thing, don't ever get the abridge version of these books, not worth it and too much is cut out. Well worth the 12 hours listening to this one.
"Decent Enough Gap Filler"
Written late in the series, this book is one of two written to fill in the gap between Sharpe's time in India and Sharpe's Rifles. Frankly, it feels like that (and a bit of cashing in) was the only reason for its existence. The history is interesting and the writing is competent if not inspired. But if you started with Sharpe's Rifles (as so many did), you will know the end state before you begin the book, which removes much of the tension and interest.
"One of Tull's better Narrations"
Creative - Action - Good
In doing the Master and Commander series, I thought Tull was very tedious, dull, and boring. I thought Simon Vance was far better. Needless to say I was disappointed that I couldn't find this book narrated by someone else. However, Tull did a very commendable job with this one. Apart from the few times when he was difficult to understand, this was a good narration.

Nothing elseI was wary of the price, but the outstanding reviews convinced me to try this. Love it. Never going back. It takes so little to cover your legs so one bottle lasts a long time. It's a completely different texture than I was used to, a cream that sort of lathers up when you work it over skin. But somehow that lather is moisturizing. The cream is a nice change since it rinses off easily and do...read moreesn't clog razors. I've only used the Cool Mint version, which smells delicious and is very refreshing.

Gov. Dave Heineman signed a bill Monday to cut the size of the Omaha school board from 12 members to nine.
The bill is intended to counteract declining student achievement in Omaha. It sped through the Legislature in slightly more than two weeks. The final vote was 44-4.
"Larger boards tend to be correlated with lower performance, lack of consensus building, poor communication and poor decision-making, Lincoln Sen. Bill Avery said during debate.
All nine OPS board members will be elected in May. New election districts will be drawn. Going forward, approximately half the seats on the board will be open in 2014 and the other half in 2016.
We need to focus on individual and school academic achievement and growth, Gov. Heineman said. Omaha Public Schools needs a new leadership. They need to focus on the priority, which is the students, and make decisions that put students first. Providing our students with a quality education is essential to Nebraskas future.
Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers also supported the bill, which he said seeks to address systemic inefficiencies.
The public doesnt feel like they get serious consideration before the board, Chambers said during a hearing. The board simply rubber stamps whatever the superintendent tells them to. This is a shot across the bow to remind them that the Legislature is constitutionally authorized to run the public schools.
OPS does understand we have a huge job in changing the achievement gap, OPS interim superintendent Virginia Moon said during the hearing.
Critics say the Legislature is disregarding the will of Omaha voters, especially since some OPS members were elected in November.
