I have actually posted this question before in esangha but I didnt get the answer and in the end the whole topic is just ignored in the end. I hope this will not happen here though
I found this Paritta recited by most of the Burmese monks, particularly those from the Mahasi Sayadaw lineage. However, forgive me if I sound offensive, I have doubt about this Paritta because it sounds more like a Mahayanese text than a Theravada text. In this text, it apparently says that the Buddha has His own protective Paritta for His disciples and He passed this to Ven Ananda and asked him to RECITE for protection. It further says that those who recite it will be protected from all evils. I mean, there is nothing wrong with that, as most protective parittas have that kind of function as well- to ward off evil, just as those like Ratana Sutta, Mangala Sutta, Dhajagga Sutta, etc, but this Paritta , to me, is portrayed in such a way like how a Mahayana text is portrayed, to be more exact like the Shurangama Mantra "if you recite this, all those evils will not approach you" kind of attitude. Its another name is also known as Buddhassa Attharasa Avenika Dhamma (The 18 Distinguished Marks of the Buddha), and it is found in the Burmese Tipitaka Pathikavagga-Tika (p.98). Below is the full text I found on a chanting book, and I highly appreciate your thoughts (and would further appreciate if you can convince me that this is indeed a Theravada text).
"1. One could not endanger the life of the Buddha. Similarly, let it be the same for me. The Buddha, replete with six glories, possessing uninhibited wisdom of the past, of the future and of the present. The wisdom of the Buddha, replete with six glories and possessing the afore-mentioned three attributes, determined all His physical actions. All physical actions were in accordance with His wisdom. All of the Buddha's verbal actions were determined by His wisdom and in accordance with His wisdom. All of the Buddha's mental actions were determined by His wisdom and in accordance with His wisdom.
2. The noble goal of the Buddha, replete with these six attributes and six glories, to bring benefit to all sentient beings never diminished. His giving of Dhamma discourses never diminished. His effort to benefit others never diminished. His insight of Vipassaana, whereby all phenomena were analyzed as reflecting the three characteristics such as anicca never diminished. His concentration of mind never diminished. His realization of fruition or arahata phala never diminished.
3. The Buddha, replete with these twelve attributes and six glories, never behaved or spoke frivolously, never behaved or spoke absent-mindedly, never encountered any phenomenon that was incomprehensible to His wisdom, never acted hastily without due consideration but was guided by His wisdom, never had an attitude without concern for others, and never acted indifferently without contemplating wisely.
4. I pay homage to the Buddha with his eighteen attributes and six glories, together with His predecessors of Gautama such as Vipassi, Sikhi, Vesabhu, Kakusanda, Konagammana and Kassapa. In the same rein as previous Buddhas before Him, our Buddha, whose coming was auspicious, never indulged in unwholesome speech and thoughts.
5. For the Buddha with his glories, there was no inhibition to His wisdom of the past, no inhibition to His wisdom of the future, no inhibition to His wisdom of the present. For the Buddha, there was no action not led by wisdom, not following wisdom. There was no verbal action not led by wisdom, not following wisdom. There was no mental action not led by wisdom, not following wisdom.
6. This Dharana Paritta, which should be embraced, is incomparable, is unequal to anything. It is the refuge for all beings, a hide-out and resting place, an excellent barrier for those who are afraid of the cycle of birth and death, a powerful, glorious and effective barrier indeed.
7. My beloved Ananda, do recite and embrace this powerful, glorious and effective Dharana Paritta, do learn and note it, do query, inquire and ponder it. Those who recite, embrace, learn, note, query, inquire and ponder it would be immune to poisons of snakes and serpents, would not drown, would not be consumed by fire, and would be free from all kinds of dangers. One would be immune from the evil designs of anyone who concocts an evil scheme for one day, or two days, or three days or four days. One would not become insane or stupefied nor confused but would have a stable mind. One would not become the victim of evil-persons or ogres or ghosts who could not torture nor torment nor destroy you.
8. That Dharana Paritta is such that its power and efficacy in extinguishing all dangers akin to that of the seven suns which could burn and consume all the ten thousands worlds of the universe. It has the power and efficacy similar to a steel cage barring all celestial beings, serpents and dragons, garudas, ogres and demons. It can neutralize and stop enemies and dangers such as floods, fires, despots, thieves and the ones whom you do not like. One could escape from the three kappas, viz the scourge of famine. On conception in the mother's womb, one would be free from becoming mute, deaf, insane and ill. Even if one falls from a tree, or off a cliff, or a canyon, one would escape death. One would gain wealth and possession already accumulated would grow and multiply. One would be delivered from darkness into light, truth and goodness.
9. My beloved Ananda, past Buddhas numbering some seventy seven croes (a unit of 10 million) have also delivered their Dharana Paritta. It is associated with good and wholesome effects, not with unwholesome and evil effects. It bears the taste and fragrance of good and wholesome nature, not of evil and unwholesome nature. Ir bears food and wholesome mental attitudes, not evil and unwholesome ones. It leads one to be associated with moral and good persons, not with evil and bad persons. It engenders wholesome physical attributes, not unwholesome attributes. It allows meritorious actions to be performed, not unwholesome ones. It brings pleasant dreams, not nightmares. It brings good visions and oracles, not bad ones. It can resuscitate dead plants. It can enhance living plants with blossoming foliage, branches and leaves. It can deliver one from darkness to light in truth and probity.
10. My beloved Ananda, past Buddhas numbering some ninety nine croes have delivered this Dharana Paritta. It can reveal the evil designs of schemers. One cannot be hurt by swords, lances weapons, arrows, firearms and cannons. It can increase the efficacy and power of mantras and recitations. It can dispel all kinds of illness and dangers. One cannot be struck by violent afflictions and illness. One can escape from the confines of ropes, handcuffs, manacles, chains, stocks and other forms of confinements and restraints.
May you be well and happy at all times due to the truth thus uttered. "

What does the WWE want from Hulk Hogan?
by, 05-09-2012 at 08:52 PM (8946 Views)
I'm looking down at my phone and then i hear something come out of my TV during Raw. I go to my brother and simply say:
"What the fuck? Did i just hear Hulk Hogan come out of his mouth?"
At this point, i was likely to say that WWE just bought TNA and was allowed to mention their wrestlers by name. I knew that was stupid it was just a joke. But with all seriousness, what does WWE want from the Hulkster?! This is the third time i can remember off of the top of my head that he has been mentioned in some way, shape, or form on WWE programming. Let's describe all of the accounts where Hulk Hogan was mentioned in WWE.
1) When the three stooges were on Raw.
If you weren't already traumatized and deprived of our precious wrestling, please go watch this garbage. On a side note, this video shows one thing: WHEN THE IWC SPEAKS, ONLY THE IWC LISTENS. Basically, we don't want celebrities, and they throw Will Sasso and the three stooges into our show. What the fuck WWE? The IWC is pretty smart and they are doing your jobs for you! Just listen to us! Who am i kidding, we are just computer screens to them. Anyways back to the point. Real American hits and Sasso comes out doing a Hogan impression. He didn't say Hulk by name so there was no clear sign of a law suit or legal trouble. But to say the least, we were all confused.
2) John Laurinatis calls himself the "Hulk Hogan of Japan."
When John Laurinatis came out and kicked the crap out of John Cena, I was honestly surprised. I was expecting an Eric Bishoff where he looks horribly stiff and unathletic and then the wrestlers do backflips like he got destroyed. But this time Johnny Ace looked like he was doing a routine wrestling ambush. Anyways, he gives this speech next week and calls himself the Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and The Rock of Japanese wrestling. Im starting to get suspicious because the Hulkster twice?
And then I read this:
3) Hulk Hogan gets his own video on wwe.com
The article on this site talks about the video in the third bullet point. When i read it, i made the decision to refuse to watch it. Why? Because these references aren't supposed to happen. THREE TIMES THE HULKSTER! They are promoting a man who isn't even under contract with them! This whole situation has my mind going insane, but i have a couple of theories as to why Hulk Hogan has been on the WWE for a random reason.
Theory 1: WWE Wants Something From Hogan
From an article written on this site describing the New York Post's interview with Hulk Hogan, he says this about WWE:
This isn't entirely my theory, but maybe WWE is worried. The only reason i have this up here is because it is Hogan's own words."I remember the last time this build-up happened. Vince McMahon had Shawn Michaels dress up as Hulk Hogan with a walker and say 'You're getting old brother.' Then we came with the NWO idea and I feel the same thing now. (WWE) is banging me on TV again, having The Three Stooges dressing up as me, showing footage of Brock Lesnar beating me last week. They're worried about something."
Theory 2: The Ric Flair HOF Deal???
Could this be?! Maybe these references to a TNA talent is because they let WWE use his name and previous gimmick? If this is true, so is another thing: TNA's management is absolutely retarded. Its almost like they said "Wait one legend isn't enough, show off Hulk Hogan a couple of times to promote our show indirectly and then you can have him." Possibly they are trying to promote Hogan in an attempt to promote TNA indirectly because he is the "general manager"? Who knows, this is all stupid anyways.
Theory 3: WWE is Attempting to steal another past star.
The only reason this is a possibility is because the returns of The Rock and Lesnar and Johnny Ace is getting in the ring and the consistently annoying rumors of Stone Cold Steve Austin vs CM Punk are becoming the only interesting stories WWE has to offer. They have no confidence in their young guns. They keep relying on legends and past names to boost themselves. And besides Lesnar's loss at Extreme Rules, the returning legends aren't putting over talent. And if anyone is bad at letting the new guys go over, its definitely the Hulkster.
Unfortunate for us, the IWC must guess and blog about all of the WWE's deepest darkest secrets. And this is one of them. Vince approves every show, so obviously he approves this. We just need to wait and pay attention to the news that will hopefully clear this up. But after seeing all of the signs and reading this, you have to ask yourself: What does the WWE want from Hulk Hogan?
Thanks for Reading guys, comments and personal thoughts always welcome !

No he didn't. I think he felt that way but in no way is that what he said.
That all sounds rational enough, but when you're talking about a saga that's gone on as long as DG's health, you're going to have people who take a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I think this is as simple as, he's been feeling pain free..so he announced he'd probably play in the next game..come to find out that he's actually not in game shape as quickly as he'd hoped, so better to get there first.
I can't wait for Danny to come back. But I want him playing well in May. So slow comeback it is.
I still care because I do think that the Pacers need a better backup wing. But I'm long past the point of getting emotionally invested in this. If he can return within the next few weeks and play consistent decent ball, then great. But if it's mid January and he still hasn't shown much, then it's time to see if DG + second rounder can net us an expiring wing.
I don't think there is some kind of grand conspiracy at work here, or that anyone is being deliberately untruthful.
its just that all the updates I remember hearing up to this point were health-related, while today's tweet I was reacting to was only talking about performance related issues. The logic of the statement just didn't add up to me is all, which is why I said it sounded "fishy."
Admittedly, I have not had a chance to watch the interview yet. And honestly this issue hasn't really been on my radar, we are playing well enough that I haven't really been concerned about Danny's timetable.
I WILL be concerned if/when it starts to look like Danny can't help us much in the playoffs. Hopefully he comes back very soon and can start getting back to some resemblance of himself, even if it's just in limited minutes.
Granger on the other hand, feels like he could be back sooner than later, saying he probably could be playing right now.
"(The Pacers' trainers are) kind of holding me back and I think they know best. If it was up to me, I'd be playing, but like I said, they know best," Granger said, via the Star. "That's just me talking from my competitive side. I practiced today, so obviously I'm not far away."
Just to point out that was the article December 7, in case someone stumbles on this and thinks it is a new quote.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I'd rather get some news then nothing at all and I'm really happy to know that Danny is working out in full practices. I don't like that he's not playing Friday just because he's not up to speed yet. I don't want him logging heavy minutes and hurting the team but I honestly think that if he's able to play he'd still be a better option the S Hill or OJ. Any play would help him come along and he would still be going through every practice. I'd hate to hear the comments from the handful of detractors about how poorly he played though. At any rate it can't be long now but I doubt if they bring him out against the Heat.
To me it sounds kind of like Vogel told him no, so he is back tracking a little bit. I would say, depending on the schedule, give him a week and he will be playing.
On another note, I'm not sure why we are talking about Orlando right now. At least in my opinion, the first step back is Solo's minutes not Orlando's minutes. It isn't about if he can step in for Orlando yet, but if he can step in for Solo. Personally I'm not a fan of immediately giving him 20 minutes a game.

Disappointed, but it's not really a big deal. Take your time Danny.
Although I'd probably assume Danny at 80% >>> Orlando at 100%
Nothing exactly new, but Frank from earlier this afternoon
Frank is right. If anything, that video showed he is not close to form. He's guarding an aging 4th string wing who is dunking and getting open from the perimeter.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
and that layup at 00:36 is not going to cut it against Tyson Chandler!
Solo got the dunk
I'm not really sure what the dunk had to do with Granger since it seemed like a fast break, and Granger wasn't in the play.
The only thing I blame Granger for is us drafting Solo Hill and him getting playing time. He's garbage.
Hopefully Granger can at least give us 12-14 pts off the bench. If he can do that this team could be legendary(defensive wise) like the Pistons squad. Well if we could find a replacement for Mahinmi too.
Why you Grimpin?
it is so cool if he looks like 2004 piston version of corliss williamson
and i'm not sure if danny really can be much effective bench/role player. Because i watched almost every game of Team USA in Fiba 2011 World Championship hosted in Turkey.
he and Rudy Gay was KD's backup, now he is PG's backup. He was really ineffective in 2011 in his prime year.
The rook was schooling him too?
Just kidding. But seriously, that video could have been him walking in a park and it would be just as meaningful.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia

Sign up for our weekly email * The Co-operative Bank is facing a capital hole of up to £1bn which could scupper its plans to buy 600 branches of Lloyds Banking Group. To bridge its capital gap, the Co-op group is planning to sell its non-life insurance division and pharmacies business apart from selling off parts of its loan. The Manchester-based commercial bank is considering selling its non-life insurance business. Meanwhile, the Co-op is close to close a sale of its life business to Royal London in a deal worth around £200m. Under the terms of an EU state aid ruling, the Co-op must sell its branches. The Co-op, which will propose a list of options to its board in March, may also include a partner from continental Europe to join the Lloyds bid. Lloyds said: "We are continuing negotiations with Co-op and are making good progress in creating a standalone challenger bank." George Osborne said he was very keen to see the Co-op buy the Lloyds branches. Peter Marks, chief executive of the Co-op group, is set to retire by May 2012, while finance director James Mack resigned last month. The Co-op said its capital levels were above regulatory minimums.

iPhone Skin
Steve Jobs on Consumersby Chris Piascik
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your device. Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
Today Steve Jobs resigned as the president of Apple. He is credited with saving Apple and repositioning it as the world's most innovative and valuable technology company. No small feat. I love Apple products and I wish Steve Jobs the best!
"His design decisions, Mr. Jobs explained, were shaped by his understanding of both technology and popular culture. His own study and intuition, not focus groups, were his guide. When a reporter asked what market research went into the iPad, Mr. Jobs replied: 'None. It's not the consumers' job to know what they want.'"

AUSTIN - The State of Texas filed a lawsuit against BP America and other defendants for their role in the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon offshore oil spill.
In Friday's actions, the State seeks natural resource damages, economic damages and civil penalties caused by the oil spill.
The lawsuit comes after years of work with Texas's sister Gulf states and the federal government, as well as BP, to resolve damages associated with harm caused to the Gulf. State officials expect this case to be consolidated with the case already underway in New Orleans.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Beaumont, seeks both monetary damages and funds to be used for projects to mitigate and offset natural resource damages in Texas. Specifically, Texas is seeking civil penalties for every day of oil discharge and for every barrel of oil that was discharged; lost sales tax, state hotel occupancy tax and mixed beverage tax revenue; revenue lost from state park entrance, facility, activity and concession fees; and damages to natural resources, including wildlife and coastal ecosystems and habitats caused by the released oil and chemical dispersants. The State also seeks attorneys' fees, court costs and investigative costs.
The suit was filed by the Attorney General's Office on behalf of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas General Land Office and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Defendants include BP, Transocean, Halliburton and Anadarko, among others.

Cancer Genetics
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
My wife has NHL at 23 years old. She has no problem for 12 years in annual check ups. Her family do not have cancer history. I had read that for cancer with significant chance of inheritance or family clustering, the cancer usually occur in young age or has younger onset. However, I also read that NHL or hodgkin lymphoma usually occur in patient with younger age. Is it true? Is our family has significant chance hereditancy or clustering?
Thank you your expert advice.
You are correct on both issues; in families with hereditary cancer susceptibility, cancers usually occur at earlier ages than is typical in the generally population. However, NHL and Hodgkins lymphoma are more common in younger individuals. So, in the absence of a significant family history, it would appear that this is more likely to be a sporadic finding, not a hereditary cancer.
However, given the number of questions that you might have about this, you could consider discussing your concerns with your wife's doctor, or scheduling an appointment with a genetic professional to review your family history in more detail and to answer some more of your questions. You can locate a genetic counselor in your area at the National Society of Genetic Counselors website.

Bethesda and Interplay have reached a settlement in the ongoing Fallout Online lawsuit.
This news comes courtesy of Fallout fansite Duck and Cover which cites court officials claiming both firms recently settled, with a formal announcement expected this month.
The initial lawsuit was instigated by Fallout 3 publisher Bethesda in 2009, stating Interplay had infringed on copyright in the early development of Fallout Online. This was followed by numerous injunctions placed against Interplay claiming financial hardship.
The Fallout 3 publisher was, however, denied a preliminary injunction both in 2009 and 2011, allowing Interplay to continue work on the project.
Interplay itself stated Bethesda was simply attempting to drag out the court case to exploit the low financial situation of the Fallout Online makers, Gamasutra reports.
Fallout Online was initially meant to release in 2012.

Kennedy rebounds after slow start vs. A's
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Of the 67 pitches that Ian Kennedy threw on Tuesday, he was really only happy with one of them.
And that happened to be his final pitch against the A's at the Peoria Sports Complex.
Kennedy allowed four runs -- three in the first inning -- on eight hits in four innings and was long gone by the time the Padres rallied for a 6-5 victory.
"It started out rough, I was trying to get the fastball down ... it was a little up today. I'm just glad that we have those days to get ready for the season," Kennedy said after his third appearance of the spring.
The first three hitters of the game reached, as Kennedy allowed doubles to Coco Crisp and John Jaso, followed by a two-run home run to Jed Lowrie. Kennedy allowed four hits in that first inning and four more over the final three innings.
"I'm just glad it's not the regular season," Kennedy said.
This start essentially mirrored Kennedy's last start on March 6 against the Rangers, when he allowed four runs in the first inning before eventually retiring eight consecutive hitters.
"I feel really good. I just need a little more time to get the fastball down and get the changeup going. Usually, that's my best pitch," Kennedy said.
Kennedy, after allowing the double to Crisp in the first inning, allowed another double to Crisp that scored a run in the second inning. Finally, on his 67th and final pitch of the game, Kennedy got Crisp looking at a called third strike on a fastball down.
"That was the best fastball I threw all day. I was like, 'Let's get it down' Every one that was up was crushed," Kennedy said. "The last pitch finally came through and worked."

Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta suffered a dislocated hip during a training camp practice Saturday and is expected to miss the entire season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Ravens TE Dennis Pitta is expected to be out for the year with a dislocated hip, per ESPN source.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 28, 2013
Pitta has a hip fracture, according to NFL.com's Albert Breer. Pitta is undergoing surgery, according to Schefter.
Initially it was reported that Pitta would be out for the Ravens' season opener against Denver.
The injury occurred when Pitta collided with safety James Ihedigbo in the back of the end zone vying for a pass from Joe Flacco. Pitta lay prone for several minutes before being carted off the field.
"Dennis has a dislocated hip. We'll have to take a look at that and see exactly what it is," Harbaugh said after practice. "It's a serious injury. He is going to be out for a while. He will not be in the Denver game and we'll just have to play it from there to see how long it goes."
Pitta (6-4, 245) is a key receiver in the Ravens' offense—especially on third down. With the team's decision to trade Anquan Boldin to San Francisco, Pitta was expected to have an even bigger role as a chain-moving target in the middle of the field this season. Last year, Pitta tied for second on the team in receptions with 61 (behind Boldin's 65) and was second in touchdown receptions with seven (behind Torrey Smith's eight).
"Obviously, he was a very, very productive guy for us," Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell said. "He made a lot of big plays last year. We'll see what happens. But somebody is going to have to step up. We do have some capable guys all across the flanks. We do have some weapons. We're just going to have to have some guys make some plays for us."
Pitta has teamed with Ed Dickson to give the Ravens one of the league's best pass-catching tight end combos, though neither is a great blocker.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

DIY: St. Patrick's Day Charms for just about anything
I remember back in my school days, wearing cute jewelry during the holidays was a cool thing. Jingle bell earrings at Christmas, Spider rings at Halloween, etc. Well, this year, I decided I'd give making some fun and crafty jewelry a try. Now, I'm no stranger to making beaded bracelets, and necklaces with already made charms, but the goal of this project was to have my girls make their own charms, and I'd help put them together into jewelry. Sounds fun? It was!
Now, the original intent was to make a necklace and charm bracelet, but as we went on, we thought of other cool things we could make with these charms.
Things you need:
- Shrinkable Plastic- These come in various types, Clear, Frosted, White and even Ink Jet now.
- Necklace Chain and clasps
- Bracelet Chain and clasps
- Ribbon
- Hair Barrette Clips
- Key rings
- Color Pencils or Permanent Markers
If you can draw, awesome. If not, then you can find pictures that you'd like to use, print and then trace them through the shrinkable plastic. If you are using the ink jet plastic, print off whatever photos/images you'd like to turn into charms!
We chose a few basic images to draw and color in. I drew and/or traced the pictures and let my girls have at coloring them. We used colored pencils as suggested by the instruction sheets, but after our pictures were baked, the excess color pencil was rubbing off on our fingers. I think permanent markers would work better. Do NOT use crayons or any water based/washable markers!
Our pictures measured approximately 4-5 in. If you want to make small charms for a charm bracelet or the like, I'd keep your original drawings to around 2.5-3 in. Think wallet sized photo.. They will shrink!
Once you have colored in, or printed all of your charms, use a hole punch to make a 1/8″ size hole in your drawing. Preheat the oven to the settings outlined in the instructions for your shrinkable plastic.
Place your pictures onto a flat cookie sheet and place into the oven for a few minutes. This is the fun part! My girls LOVE watching their drawings shrink! You'll see them curl up, and then eventually flatten out. Once your drawings have flattened back out, you can take them out of the oven and let them cool flat for a bit.
Now for the next fun part. Deciding what to do with them! I took some necklace chain, cut it to a perfect necklace size for my girls, put a jump ring through one of the charms and voila. They now have a cute necklace that they can wear on St. Patrick's Day.. and they made it themselves! Other ideas can be a book mark… Putting a ribbon through the charm and tying it on either end. You can also make hair clips. Take some really cute green ribbon, and you can either use a jump ring on the charm to secure the charm to the hair clip, or use a hot glue gun to secure the charm to the ribbon. Key rings are another idea. Put a jump ring on your charm so that it can move freely around the key ring. There are so many possibilities! Have fun with it, and let the kids even design their own pictures! Who knows what they can cup up with when their imaginations run!
This craft is great for other holidays and even gifts!

There have been enough "pet peeve" threads here of late that I decided that it might be a good idea to condense them into a single thread for the purpose of blowing off steam.
So, feel free to share with us your own frustrations and pet peeves, or just go off on really nonsensical rants for no good reason. It's all good.
So...you know what really grinds my gears?
Highway tailgaters. You have four ****ing lanes to choose from. I'm not going to risk getting a ticket or, God forbid, in an accident because you don't want to go around for whatever reason, especially when I'm driving in one of the slow lanes. Get off my *** and go around, jerk.

Photo Flash: First Look at Cincinnati Shakespeare's RICHARD II
"Richard II" is an epic tale of fading power that sheds a light on the deterioration of a kingdom and the isolation of power. King Richard (Brent Vimtrup) exiles his noblemen while seizing their land to carry on his own wars. As dissent continues to grow, a fight for the true heart of England begins and one man's celestial right to rule is called into question creating the genesis of the "War of the Roses". This production is the kick-off of a chronological history cycle and the penultimate story in CSC's quest to "Finish the Canon".
"Richard II" begins a multi-season history cycle that includes Shakespeare's "Henry IV: Part 1 & 2" and "Henry V". CSC will stage both of these in the future so audiences are encouraged to catch "Richard II" now to start the cycle. This will be the first time Cincinnati Shakespeare Company will produce "Richard II" and it is also the penultimate production in CSC's quest to "Finish the Canon". CSC will have produced Shakespeare's entire canon of 38 plays by the end of its 20th anniversary season, next season. Having already produced 36 of Shakespeare's plays, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company will produce the remaining two titles, including "Richard II" this season and the last during the 20th anniversary season in 2014. Producing Artistic Director Brian Isaac Phillips has noted that "as the company has produced Shakespeare's less familiar works, like wildly popular "Henry VIII: All is True" and "The Life and Death of King John", audiences and artists alike have discovered something wonderful in each play that expands their appreciation of Shakespeare's artistry and skill."
Brent Vimtrup* (King Richard II) is now in his 2nd season with the company. He was most recently seen on the stage as Henry Baskerville in CSC's smash hits "The Importance of Being Earnest" as Algernon Moncrieff and "The Hound of the Baskervilles". He will reprise his role as Henry Baskerville this June during a run of encore productions. His debut last season included comedic roles in "Bedroom Farce", "Love's Labour's Lost" and "Sense & Sensibility" as well as critically acclaimed roles in "The Grapes of Wrath" as Noah Joad and in "A Man for All Seasons" and "Henry VIII: All is True" as the Duke of Norfolk.
Giles Davies* (Henry Percy) appeared last season at CSC in "Sense & Sensibility". Since then, Giles returned to the Tampa area and began teaching at the Patel Conservatory, directing their production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". He directed two productions with the Gorilla Theatre's Young Dramatist Project, and taught Shakespeare with the American Stage summer program. Most recently, he was seen in Jobsite's production of "Fahrenheit 451" as Beatty, the fire chief. Favorite CSC roles inclu de Coriolanus, Macbeth, Richard III, Iago in "Othello", Caliban in "The Tempest", Vladimir in "Waiting for Godot", Trofimov in "The Cherry Orchard", and Lady Bracknell in "The Importance of Being Earnest".
Jim Hopkins* (Bolingbroke) is in his fifth season as a Resident Ensemble Member at CSC. He has been seen on CSC's stage this season as Judge Taylor & Walter Cunningham in the sold-out run of "To Kill a Mockingbird". He was featured last season as the title role in "Henry VIII: All is True" and "A Man for All Seasons." He was also seen last season as Don Armado in "Love's Labour's Lost", Duncan in "Macbeth" and Ernest in "Bedroom Farce". He has also performed at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey; Human Race Theatre, Great Plains Theatre, Nebraska Repertory Theatre and at Playhouse on the Square in Memphis.
Brian Isaac Phillips** (Producing Artistic Director) is celebrating his 10th season of artistic leadership of Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. He was named Producing Artistic Director in 2010 after being Artistic Director since 2003. Prior to these responsibilities, he served with the organization as Associate Artistic Director for one season, as well as four seasons as a member of The Acting Company. He is a proud member of Actor's Equity Association and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. Mr. Phillips is a graduate of Morehead State University and has been a resident of Cincinnati for almost fifteen years. In that time he has worked for Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, The Children's Theatre, Know Theatre of Cincinnati, New Stage Collective, as well as over 100 productions with CSC. Most recent credits include "The Importance of Being Earnest", "Romeo & Juliet", "The Grapes of Wrath", "Henry VIII: All is True", "Macbeth", "A Man for All Seasons", "Bedroom Farce", "The Two Gentlemen of Verona", "The Handmaid's Tale" (world premiere), "The Life and Death of King John", "Dracula", "Blithe Spirit", "Krapp's Last Tape", "The Lion in Winter", "All's Well that Ends Well", "Amadeus", "Timon of Athens", "The Seagull", "Hamlet", "Long Day's Journey Into Night", "King Lear", and "Cymbeline". Outside of CSC Mr. Phillips has recently been seen onstage in "Collapse" at Know Theatre, "Porgy and Bess" at Cincinnati Opera, as well as "The Seafarer" and "Dead Man's Cell Phone" at Ensemble Theatre. He staged Know Theatre's recent production of "Angels in America: Millennium Approaches" and will be directing their upcoming production "When the Rain Stops Falling" and served as dramaturg on Cincinnati Ballet's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Mr. Phillips is honored that CSC was named as a finalist last year for Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce's Non Profit of the Year. He is also thrilled that after next season, CSC will have produced all 38 of William Shakespeare's plays and, on a personal note, he will have either staged or performed in all 38 as well.

We own a TV, but we don't watch it. We also own a VCR and other recording devices.
Now, is it "stealing" if you download a show that you would get easily by just turning on the TV at a specific time? For instance, a basic channel that plays free TV. Is it considered stealing if you download that show, or is it just like you are using the internet as a VCR/TiVo/etc.?
Interesting thing. Why is watching a certain movie on tv is legal, or renting it from library, yet downloading it is not?

text: WVU receiving corps remains unsettled By Dave Hickman August 29, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - There seems nearly as much mystery about who will be catching passes for West Virginia Saturday as who will be throwing them.Yes, the Mountaineers go into their season opener against William & Mary (noon kickoff, Fox Sports 1) with two quarterbacks and at least no public plan as to how Paul Millard and Clint Trickett will share the snaps - if indeed they will share them at all.But there could very well be a true revolving door at the receiver positions, perhaps as many as eight to 10 or more in two, three or four spots, depending upon the formation.Of course, given that among the players listed at those spots on the first-week depth chart there is a grand total of 11 receptions returning from last season - that's all of 3.2 percent of the passes caught by wideouts in 2012 - that's understandable.Quite simply, it's going to take some time and experimentation to figure out who should be playing there."Right now it's about 50-50 with all those guys at all four receiver spots, to be honest with you,'' WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said this week. "And then once we get into the games I anticipate that one of those guys per position will rise up, which will give that specific kid the majority of the snaps.''Who those risers might be is the big question mark.The depth chart lists three receiver positions, two outside and one inside. In a four-receiver set there is another inside receiver. The outside receivers listed first are Ivan McCartney and K.J. Myers, perhaps not coincidentally the only two receivers on that depth chart who caught passes last year. McCartney caught nine passes for 112 yards before leaving the team after eight games. Myers caught a 3-yard touchdown pass in mop-up time in the opener against Marshall and a 6-yard pass the next week against James Madison. That was it.They are listed ahead of two junior college players who were brought in specifically because the team seemed short on talent after the loss of Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and J.D. Woods, who combined for 289 catches a year ago, or 85.3 percent of the wideout receptions. Kevin White and Ronald Carswell are the backups.McCartney and Myers are the starters presumably because of their knowledge of the system and their performances in camp. A foot injury that has made White questionable for Saturday's opener might have played into it, as well.But it's not as if Holgorsen anointed McCartney and Myers the starters by default. He praised Myers throughout August and says McCartney is just a different player and person after his hiatus from the team."He's had a good camp,'' Holgorsen said of the 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior and former four-star recruit from Miami. "He's been able to maintain relative health, which has always been one of his issues in the past. Has he had some sore limbs over the last 31/2 weeks? Yes. Did it prevent him from practicing? No. And that's different than the way it was the first two years I was here. "Yeah, I've seen some differences in him. I think it matters a lot more to him now. Whatever those issues he was dealing with last year I don't see him dealing with them. Is he going to be a difference maker? We'll see on Saturday.''The inside receivers listed on the depth chart have no college experience. The backup is redshirt freshman Devonte Mathis, but the talk of the preseason was true freshman Daikiel Shorts, who has earned the start. "Daikiel Shorts has really impressed me,'' Holgorsen said of the 6-foot, 201-pounder from New Jersey who enrolled in January and was able to go through spring practice and the full offseason. "He's just a true freshman, but he's really impressed me, so he'll be one of the first ones that get trotted out there. But then how much they play is going to depend on what I see once they're out there.''Also in the mix in the slot is Jordan Thompson. He's not on the depth chart, but he's actually the leading returning receiver after catching 13 passes for 85 yards as a freshman. He was the talk of last year's preseason who never really lived up to the hype, but then had six catches for 123 yards and three touchdowns in the spring game.West Virginia's coaches have pretty much universally decided not to talk about Thompson until his game production comes close to matching what he's done in practice and the spring game.The wild card at inside receiver, though, might be 5-9, 175-pound junior college transfer Mario Alford. Like White, he's also listed as questionable for Saturday with a foot injury. Vernon Davis, the transfer from Miami who was switched from cornerback to receiver in the spring, can also play there, as can any of the deep corps of running backs, along with bigger utility types Cody Clay and Garrett Hope.With all of those bodies - throw Dante Campbell and Terrance Gourdine into the mix as outside receivers, too - talent isn't the question. What Holgorsen wonders about is how so many newcomers will react under pressure."You've got guys that haven't been through this before like Mario, Kevin, Ronald Carswell. They just haven't been through this before,'' Holgorsen said. "Devonte Mathis, Vernon Davis, they haven't been through this before.'' A year ago, Holgorsen didn't use a ton of receivers, but that was because the guys at the top of the depth chart were clearly the ones who needed to play. That may change this year, but a lot depends on whether or not anyone clearly steps up like Austin and Bailey did the last two seasons."We'll play upwards of about eight,'' Holgorsen said. "Once a guy establishes that he's the main guy at that specific position, then it reduces the backup reps barring any injuries that we have."The top-end guys we had last year were just that much better than the other guys, so they played a considerable amount of snaps than the backups did. But we always went into each game with about eight guys that were capable of playing.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Morne Morkel bowled two immaculate yorkers to clean up Kallis and Tiwary in two consecutive deliveries. Dale Steyn's pace was a bit too much to handle for the dangerous Richard Levi. Lasith Malinga made Manish Pandey dance to his tunes before ending his misery.
If you missed seeing these dismissals and were told that all this happened in South Africa in Test match cricket, you would have readily believed. Fortunately though, all this and more has happened in this year's IPL and for me, that's been the highlight of the tournament.
Fast bowlers are not only making their presence felt but also winning matches on their own.
Is this a new trend?
T20 cricket, especially in the subcontinent, is considered to be a batsman's game. The matches are played on flat pitches and grounds are relatively smaller. Hence bowlers are expected to play only a supporting act. The lead actors are always the ones with the willow in their hand, or so it is believed.
But whatever we have seen so far in IPL-V reiterates the fact that even though the format is condensed; the skills continue to be non-negotiable. If a bowler of Steyn or Morkel's quality is bowling, you need special skills to put him away. T20 may be a shortened game and gives you the license to hit but the reaction time for a batsman remains the same.
Fast bowlers have realized that there aren't too many batsmen around who can comfortably hook a well-directed bouncer and hence we see a fair sprinkling of short-pitched stuff in IPL-V. If they find pace and good bounce like Steyn had in Vizag against Mumbai, they stick to the conventional bouncers aimed at the batsman's head. But if they realize that bounce and pace off the surface isn't their ally, they resort to bowling different variations of the same delivery, which are the slower bouncers and bouncers directed outside the off-stump etc.
Three lengths
One may wonder that if the bowlers are the same, how come they weren't as effective in the first few years? Well, though these bowlers' skill-set hasn't changed much, the mindset has. Initially they thought that bowling in good areas, like they operated in other formats, would do the job in T20 too. But as the time passed, they realized that the good lengths in Tests and ODIs fall in the hitting zone in a T20 game.
In fact, there are only three kinds of deliveries that work in the shortest version— yorkers, bouncers and short-of-good-length-effort-ball. Finding the block hole with a new ball is fairly difficult and therefore, it was avoided earlier, but not anymore. Bowlers have mastered the art of bowling yorkers even with the new ball. Don't they say that necessity is the mother of all inventions?
The short-of-good-length ball is the effort ball that hits the bat towards the splice. On Indian pitches, most batsmen have the tendency of coming onto the front-foot and hence it's imperative to ensure that the ball bounces a bit more than expected or else it's far too easy to be clobbered.
Bowlers are having a bigger say in this edition of the IPL and that's a healthy sign for the game. Cricket is revered the most when there's a contest; six-hitting fests aren't entertaining anymore.
