Gourmet Trading Co. has promoted Luciano Fiszman to procurement manager for the company's North and South American blueberry operations.
He will also supervise South American asparagus, according to a news release.
In his seven years at Los Angeles-based Gourmet Trading, Fiszman has had roles in South American blueberry procurement and as production manager. He's a native of Argentina.
The move is part of a company restructuring since the July death of president Chris Martin, who was succeeded by Brian Miller.
"Since 2006, (Fiszman) has been a key part of creating our South American blueberry program," Scott Hulsey, vice president of procurement, said in the release. "He has helped us become the first distributor to commercially import blueberries from Peru. We're excited for him to manage procurement for our year-round South American asparagus program out of Peru and Ecuador."
Fiszman came to the company from an academic career as a professor's assistant working with Argentinean blueberries.

A Stowaway to the Thanatosphere: My Voyage Beyond Apollo with Norman MailerBy Rex Weiner
We're out this week, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2012 while we're away. We hope you enjoy—and have a happy New Year!
On a brisk December day in 1972, the SS Statendam left New York Harbor with an extraordinary passenger list. Theoretical physicists, science fiction writers, a handful of paying passengers, a reporter from the New York Times, media personalities, and a couple of distinguished literary figures, including Norman Mailer. All were aboard for the ship's destination, Cape Canaveral, to observe Apollo 17, the last manned rocket launch to the moon.
As the skyline receded in the distance, two individuals in black leather jackets and boots tried discreetly to mingle with the other passengers on deck. Eschewing the one thousand dollar passage and without the freebies extended to celebrity guests and credited media, they had simply strolled on board at the last minute. Once the ship cast off they became—in the legal parlance of the sea—stowaways. Stowaways with a mission to rescue Norman Mailer from the clutches of a diabolical cabal of elite space imperialists.
Advance media hype surrounding the Voyage Beyond Apollo, as it was billed, promised stellar seminars, expert panel discussions, and learned presentations by marquee names, including former astronaut Capt. Edgar Mitchell, top NASA rocketeer Wernher von Braun, sci-fi hero Arthur C. Clarke, and Mailer, whose 1970 book, Of a Fire on the Moon, qualified him as an expert on space travel. Read More

The Last Stupid Customer
EP Editorial Staff | February 2, 1999
I just returned from a trip on the Internet to research some topics for this and future issues. As usual, I came back both delighted and frustrated: Delighted by some of my finds and frustrated by roadblocks put up by well-meaning webmasters.
Here are a couple of business finds. As a starter, you can't beat www.ceoexpress.com. It has all the best news and business links arranged compactly by categories on one page. It can also be personalized to include some special categories to which you can add your favorite sites, which I hope includes ours: www.mt-online.com.
My Web browser is now set to automatically bring up the ceoexpress page when it opens. One of the sites linked to that page is www.findspot.com, which provides some valuable help for using search engines to track down information.
One of my maintenance finds was MotorMaster+, the electric motor management software and database developed by the Washington State University Energy Program for the U.S. Department of Energy.
The software, which can be operated from the Motor Challenge site www.motor.doe.gov/mmplus, or downloaded, allows the user to peruse a 17,500 record database of electric motors in various sizes and configurations from a variety of manufacturers. Data includes efficiency and other parameters including retail price.
When I saw the field for motor price, I was reminded of how the Internet is changing the way people buy things. It has certainly revolutionized automobile purchasing. I can remember the feeling of power I had a decade or so ago when I walked into the dealership armed with "secret" dealer invoice information from our company's friendly leasing agent. Today, that power is available freely on the Web at a number of sites. Just check auto links in the "tools, travel, and fun" section at the bottom of the ceoexpress page to get started.
I am also reminded of a quip by a marketing and sales strategist at an automobile company: "Online car-buyers are a savvy bunch and are privy to information never before available to them. In a very short period of time, the last stupid customer is going to walk through our dealership doors." Although we are not there yet with electric motors and most other goods for industry, we are headed in the right direction. And what else should we expect to see someday on the Internet? Check out the thoughts of Blaine Pardoe, our newest Viewpoint columnist. MT

Jagster Engineering Group is known for producing the majority of the car club plaques out there today, but company owner Joel Garcia is known for producing something of his own; top-notch Lowriders! His most well known creation was the 1963 Impala known as "Hustler '63," and today he follows that up with this 1957 Chevy Bel Air, fittingly nicknamed "Original Hustler." Joel's Lowrider pedigree runs deep. "My dad's been Lowriding ever since he was young, and he taught us the culture," Joel says proudly. "I remember cruising in his Lowriders when I was about seven years old." His father is still active in the Lowrider scene and owns multiple Lowriders himself. "We are into every type of car," Joel adds, "from new cars to old cars."
This particular'57 was bought as a project car from Kebo, better known to many as Rapper/Filmmaker Ice Cube's bodyguard. "I bought it all parted-up and it took about a year an half to put it all back together," says Joel. One of the headaches that Joel ran into was getting hard-to-find parts. "Sometimes, things are so scarce you can't even find them and when you do, then you have to pay top dollar for them," he says.
Joel took this '57 to Manuel Rojas, of Safe and Sound, in Downey, CA., who put the original 283-cubic-inch back together to original specs. Manuel also put together the drive train, rear, and transmission. "Nobody else but Manuel can do something like that," praises Joel. Pedro, from Higher Level Auto Body, painted the car after putting it back together. Juanito, of Juanito's Auto Upholstery, in Lynwood, CA., assembled the original interior while La Habra Plating handled all of the chrome on the car.
"Original Hustler" is basically a finished project; the only changes that will be made will be to swap out the engine with a 283 Dual Quad system? if Joel ever gets his hands on one. Joel would like to thank his family, his car club, John Kennedy at Bowtie, and Burt at the Chevy Shop.

Reliever Cassevah elects free agency
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Reliever Bobby Cassevah elected free agency on Friday.
Cassevah, who was out of options, cleared waivers on Thursday and had 72 hours to decide whether to accept an assignment to the Minor Leagues. The Angels wanted to create room on their 40-man roster, which is now at 39, but the team is not expected to add somebody from outside the organization.
Cassevah posted a 2.87 ERA in a combined 46 appearances with the Angels from 2010-11. Late last spring, the 27-year-old right-hander experienced a slight tear in his rotator cuff, then struggled at Triple-A, posting a 6.22 ERA in 44 games, and was sent to the Arizona Fall League to continue working on his pitching.

Hi All—
A little about me:
I've been making documentaries in Los Angeles for the last 13 years – mainly films about a dying breed of old Hollywood art directors and cinematographers who I find inspiring as people as well as artists.
Some of my credits include, "Something's Gonna Live,†which world premiered at the 2009 AFI FEST and is a follow-up to my first documentary, "The Man on Lincoln's Nose" (2001 Oscar-nominated, Short Subject). Currently, I'm in post-production on a new film that will complete the trilogy of docs on old-Hollywood filmmakers.
Ross McElwee and Abbas Kiarostami are some of my cinema heroes. One of my favorite quotes from Kiarostami is something along the lines of: "Try to make your documentary like a fiction film, and your fiction film like a documentary."
Thanks to everyone who helps maintain this wonderful website. I look forward to meeting new folks on The D-Word!
Greetings and welcome to The D-Word, Daniel. Ross McElwee has been a huge influence on my work, as well.
Thu 29 Jul 2010
Thanks, Doug. Great to be here! Any word on a release date for Ross McElwee's new film, "In Paraguay"?
No. I'm afraid there are complications that are holding it up indefinitely. Which is too bad, I'm very eager to see it.
Thu 29 Jul 2010
Hi Doug,
Thanks for the update, albeit not very good news for us Ross McElwee fans. Are you at liberty to explain what the complications are holding up the film?
I posted in the Hidden Section a synopsis I found on Fandango – looks really interesting!
I wish I could but I told Ross I'd keep it to myself. But we're getting a bit off topic here, this is basically for intros and greetings. We can continue any discussion of Ross, In Paraguay and the unique challenges of personal docs in the Documentary Film topic.
Fri 30 Jul 2010
Great, thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm Indrani Kopal, a documentary filmmaker from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And, I also work as a full time video journalist with Malaysiakini.com, an online news agency here in KL.
I just returned from Washington DC after being part of the 2010 International Emerging Documentary Filmmakers Fellowship program by The Documentary Center, at the George Washington University. I was really privileged to meet many experienced filmmakers during the 6-weeks program. And I really enjoyed SILVERDOC Festival.
indranikopal.blogspot.com/ is my blog. And, D-word site was a big buzz among many filmmakers I came across in US, so here I am :)
Fri 30 Jul 2010
And we're very glad to have you, Indrani. You couldn't have gotten better training than from the Fellowship program. Hopefully The D-Word will keep the spirit alive. Welcome aboard.

Greetings from New Zealand.
I live between New Zealand and New York, where I started in the late 1980's as a videographer for downtown independent dance companies. Subsequently I focused on independent film and video work in the experimental genre. These short works have been screened in festivals and galleries in the States, Europe and New Zealand; I also have worked as a video designer, focusing again on the downtown theater projects. More recently I completed a multi channel video projection for the Govert-Brewster Art Gallery in New Zealand – titled: There Are Snakes in Paradise. It is an experimental documentary that looks at effects of living in the shadow of the largest international owned chemical plant in New Zealand (Dow Chemical) in the 1960's –70's which produced 245T in great quantities and was spayed in the mega tons from the top to the bottom of New Zealand – (The NZ brand: Clean and Green?). Previous to that I made a 32min Doc. about a painter Chuck Bowdish that was screened in various festivals in the US. My most recent doc. I have just completed with funds from the NZ film Commission is a film chronicling the lives (from 1996 to 2009) of three residents in a home on the Upper West Side in Manhattan who are blind and mentally challenged tilted: Not Everybody Can Do Everything. It is a 102min in length and now just beginning to send out to festivals.

Hi everyone,
My name is Gustavo, I am a recent college graduate. I have been thinking about making a documentary (shocking and ill-advised, I know) about illegal immigrants and their path to college. I have a few people lined up to interview, some stuff about policy, a few contacts in some immigrant organizations, and would probably include some stuff about myself in the project as well.
I am a COMPLETE novice to filming! For now I have been watching some documentaries (including Doug's) and thinking about the arch that the project might take, I envision it being about 30 minutes long.
Does anyone have any advice in terms of literature or other informational material that might be useful? I am particularly interested in what you would think a good camera would be for my purposes. I've looked around a bit and like the Canon T2i. I don't have a mac, but I have a PC and access to the adobe suite.
I appreciate any help or advice you guys would have!
Look forward to hearing from you,

Hello all,
My Name is Blake Adams, and I have been in LA for twenty years, acting, writing and occasionally producing (my best...an award winning short film titled "Silent Radio") I have never thought about doing a documentary film until now. I was struck with an idea that I can not let go, and need some real guidance on how to put together the pitch. This is an area very strange to me, so any help on what kind of Package to put together...what are 'people' looking for in a documentary pitch.
Wed 4 Aug 2010
welcome, blake. feel free to post more specific questions in the Mentoring Room section of the D-Word. for now, the quick answer to your question is that people in the doc industry are primarily looking for intimate access to your characters. secondly, people are looking for subjects that are timely and reveal universal truths. celebrity involvement always helps to get a doc off the ground, but that is certainly not a prerequisite in the way that you need an A-list celeb to get a fiction film greenlit.
Wed 4 Aug 2010
In reply to Gustavo Rosa's post on Tue 3 Aug 2010 :
Gustavo, your idea sounds interesting and timely. This issue isn't limited to the US, Europe and in particular Greece struggle with it.
Wed 4 Aug 2010
Greetings, Gustavo and Blake. Gustavo, you might want to try a site like DV User, which has more technical topics on cameras. As for your approach to your film, it seems pretty spot on to me, so I'd say trust your instincts. If you're intent on reading a book, though, Michael Rabiger's Directing the Documentary is a classic. And glad if my film has been a help.
Wed 4 Aug 2010
I am Chithra Jeyaram an MFA film production student at University of Texas, Austin. I used to be and still am a Physical Therapist and now an emerging documentary filmmaker.
United states is the only country in the developed world with no law requiring PAID PARENTAL LEAVE BENEFITS. Having a child is treated like a life style choice. Most parents lives changes dramatically not only because of the addition of a new life but because of the poor support systems.
I want to make a documentary about tag-team parenting, where parents who can't afford child care stagger their work shifts. For example – one parent works night shifts and the other day and exchange babies at parking lots. In the process, they barely see each other and such marriages or partnerships eventually end.
The situation is worse for single parents or those of the LGBT community. Currently, I am in the research phase of this project. Any suggestions or tips will be appreciated.
Also, I have wanted to make a film using both my skills – Physical Therapy and Filmmaking. Over the last three years, I have noticed that most filmmakers have bad postures and really bad backs. I have be toying with an idea for an animated/doc film on that topic. Any ideas?
Wed 4 Aug 2010
Welcome, Chrithra, and feel free to join The D-Word as a full member . I'll be doing an Austin Film Society screening of my new doc THE KIDS GROW UP on Oct 13. Hope to meet you there.
My name is Kemuel Deaula, I grew up in Alvarenga, Brazil. I've been living in the United State for a long time now, i love it here. I am a graduate of Full Sail University. I am editing my second Documentary and things are going well. D-Word is a great website, i am new to it and still learning how to get around. Check out my resume at www.itsgrita.com/films i am also going to attach my Resume to this post. Have a good day!!

- Scorecard / As it happened
- Arthur's theme plays loudly
- Run chase hit by more review controversy
- Clarke defends use or review
When the Australians review this first Test, form says they will botch it. Indiscriminate recourse to the decision review system contributed to, but did not cause, their imminent defeat. It would also behoove the ICC to review the system.
Three of the six wickets that fatally undermined Australia's Quixotic bid for victory were processed through DRS. Obtaining a Test wicket has become something akin to negotiating terms of surrender. Reaching agreement on Michael Clarke's dismissal was as protracted business as Versailles. It was as if a do-or-die penalty in a soccer match had to be retaken twice.
In each of England's second innings and its own, Australia blew both its referrals before the fall of the fifth wicket. Infamously, it cost Australia the wicket of Stuart Broad on Friday at a time when it still would have made a difference. DRS promotes cynicism: you can be reasonably sure that Broad's obstinacy was because of a dressing room directive not to walk under any circumstances, knowing that Australia was helpless to protest. You can also be sure Australia would have been equally calculating if the roles were reversed.
Australia was reckless. Bowling, it expended two referrals frivolously. Batting, Shane Watson was in such a rush to refer his lbw that he raised his bat and hand almost simultaneously with Aleem Dar's finger, and without consulting partner Chris Rogers. But the replay showed that the ball was nicking leg stump, and Australia was one wicket and one referral down. Watson left the ground as if being winched from it.
Nine balls later, Rogers was judged to have feathered catch from Swann to the wicketkeeper, but referred successfully. Rogers at least appears to have the gift of good judgment.
Then came the Clarke chaos. England exulted at what appeared to be a catch behind from Broad's outswinger, Aleem Dar asked TV umpire Marius Erasmus for confirmation that the ball had carried, then gave Clarke out. Immediately, Clarke gestured for a referral, which at length showed a lukewarm spot, and Dar raised his finger again.
Was this an instance of a hypocritical Australian not walking? That is insupportable. Clarke knew that that he could not bluff; DRS would expose him to ridicule as well as dismissal. In any case, the price would be Australia's last referral. Clarke said later that he did not think he had hit the ball. That is a claim Broad patently could not make.
But Australia was out of lifelines. Next ball, Steve Smith was clinically lbw to Graeme Swann. Sixteen balls later, Phil Hughes shuffled back to Swann and was beaten by a ball that appeared to trained eyes to pitch outside leg stump. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena rejected Swann's appeal, and England promptly referred to a more elevated authority. Hawkeye's estimation - and it is an estimation - indicated that the ball was clipping the line of leg stump, Hughes was given out for a duck and Australia's back was broken. Also its heart. On referrals, it was 3-1 to England.
A salient point obtain here about DRS's incoherent protocols. If Hawkeye had shown that the ball pitched in line, but was only clipping the stumps, the on-field umpire's decision would have stood, in this instance not out. Presumably, this is to allow for millimetres of margin for error in DRS's tracking technology. Yet when determining where the ball pitched, not even a hair's breadth allowance is made. This is what damned Hughes.
The evidence of this match alone ought to be enough to prompt to overhaul the operation of DRS; it has frustrated everyone.
This was the overlay to another intriguing day. In a way, Watson personified it for Australia, which at 0/84 and 2/141 was twice on winning thresholds, but could not consummate them. It is Watson's career in miniature.
Australia was set an improbable and a historical 311 to win, but Watson and Rogers began boldly. No two more complementary characters could be found even in a novel. Watson is right-handed, Rogers left. Watson's way is to hit the new ball, and sometimes to miss it, Rogers to absorb it. Watson rides out to confront the attack, Rogers circles the wagon.
On this slow pitch, Watson's method was riskier than Rogers', but this day just as efficacious. You could count the straight and cover drives in England's long second innings on one hand, but Watson was not deterred. His shotplay was crisp and classical, like newly laundered and pressed shirts. Rogers has a carefully tucked-up technique, in which he appears always to be manoeuvring the ball from under his nose, as if his bat is a joystick. So they tweedledumdeed to 84. Then, first ball after a drinks break, Watson was out. It left everyone with that Watto feeling, of an immaculately struck semi-score, and a drama at the end.
It was the start of a revived spell from Broad, complemented by another from Steve Finn, which was England's secondary gain on the day. There is peculiar psychology to these long run chases. For nearly two hours, no wicket threatened, and one must have seemed to English minds as far off as the name of a song that won't come to mind. But once one falls, the rest seem possible.
Ed Cowan has taken on the aspect of a man in palliative care; his career his shrivelling before our eyes. Rogers bided three hours for 50, then unexpectedly chipped Anderson into a trap. To Smith, all of cricket is an itch to be scratched. England contrived to locate that itch between his shoulder blades, and out of reach. He hit fours from the third and 45th balls he faced, and was out to the 88th.
Even Clarke found the going hard. Anderson's reverse swing caused him to prod inelegantly, like a wrong-footed footballer. Class and knowing protected him. England, bowling as a team for the first time in the match, contracted the scoring; 10 overs passed without a boundary until Clark edged one to third man. After nearly two hours of toil, he changed his sweaty inners, but immediately was out.
Swann was bound to have a say in this game at some stage, and now did, leaving Haddin and Ashton Agar to put into safe harbour until stumps. Once drawn, Haddin made to shake the hand of England century-maker Ian Bell, and the day finished on a pleasantly gracious note. As fourth innings go, this has been a game effort, but at 6/174, no more than a fingertip of grip remains.

Andrew Church-Taylor, defending, said Eltoft was called 'almost immediately' on his return home 'from a friend who was driving over to Accrington and asked if he wanted to come along'.
"The knife was still in his jacket pocket when he left the house and there is no suggestion it was brandished or even taken out until the police stopped them," Mr Church-Taylor added.

"For the first year, I can't complain," Brashear said. "I have been able to pay the bills."

text: It's a shame that Beck takes himself so seriously, as he could actually have a pretty lucrative run by playing a variation of himself and aligning with Zeb and Jack. I can't stand the douche and everything he stands for, but there's no denying that he has a talent for commanding an audience. Plus, he just has one of those smug, doughy faces that people want to swing at. Him and Zeb leading an entire stable of xenophobes could make for one of the strongest heel groups the company has ever seen. A lightning-rod like Beck would probably be even more productive in bringing the company mainstream press than Rock mugging on the late night talk-show circuit, too.

The Akron Civic Theatre will welcome Bill Cosby June 13 at 8 p.m.
Cosby broke television's racial barrier with "I Spy," becoming the first African American to costar on a television series while winning three consecutive Emmys. He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004. The show, based on Cosby's childhood in Philadelphia, was designed to educate and entertain.
The former Navy serviceman's illustrious list of accomplishments includes roles on the children's educational show Electric Company and creating and producing the Emmy award winning Little Bill, which is based on his bestselling book series.
Perhaps Cosby's greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is "The Cosby Show," about a close-knit, upper class black family. Cosby said his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show "an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race." "The Cosby Show" dominated the No. 1 spot for years. Life magazine described the program as "a gentle, whimsical, warmhearted" show whose "delicious ordinariness of its pleasures and tribulations has given millions a fresh, laughter-splashed perspective on their own domestic lives."
Ticket prices are $67, $57 and $37. Tickets are available at the Akron Civic Theatre box office, by calling 330-253-2488 or online at www.akroncivic.com.

Category: Erykah Badu new baby
Twitty Milk, the reported name of the new daughter of singer Erykah Badu and rapper Jay Electronica, was thankfully just a hoax. No one knows quite how the Twitty Milk rumor got started, except that the new mom Twittered her way through the baby's birth. The real crazy celebrity baby name: Mars Merkaba.
Badu, also the mother of son Seven and daughter Puma, is obviously a leader in crazy celebrity baby naming. Here, with Mars' birth, our new Top 10 Craziest Celebrity Baby Names:
1. MOXIE CRIMEFIGHTER — The daughter of magician Penn Jillette, whose assertive word name can be called unique in the truest sense of that term, is the bearer of what may still be the absolute craziest celebrity baby name.
2. PILOT INSPEKTOR — Jason Lee took a lot of flack for this occupational name, to the extent that he's keeping his second child's name secret.
3. BRONX MOWGLI — Rockers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz hit a new low with this New York neighborhood-Disney moniker, giving their son the initials B.M.W.

2007-08 Power Rankings: Week 1
1 (1) Spurs 3-0 It wasn't the toughest competition, true, but the champs were the only team in the league to play three games in the first four days of the season. And they didn't look so old to us.
2 (3) Celtics 2-0 Pounding Washington to muzzle Arenas and scraping an OT victory in Toronto is not just a good start. It's a good start that happens to come with the bonus of six home games in the next nine.
3 (6) Pistons 3-0 An unbeaten Week 1 would be pleasing enough, but Detroit has only played at home once -- and has only dressed Rip Hamilton once -- so far. So pleasing is underselling things for the East's old reliables.
4 (5) Rockets 3-0 Congratulations, Rockets. Your reward for completing a tidy opening week featuring two road wins and a 47-point detonation from T-Mac? A visit Monday to Dallas, then San Antonio at home Tuesday.
5 (4) Mavericks 2-1 They played the first two games without the suspended Josh Howard, so the Mavs can't be too down about a split in Cleveland and Atlanta. Don't forget that their 67-win season started much worse: 0-4.
6 (2) Suns 2-1 You know how teams that know they can't prove themselves until May or June sometimes struggle getting up for games in November? Phoenix can only hope that's what happened Friday against the Lakers.
7 (14) Raptors 2-1 Deflating as it was to lose in OT to the Celts at home, you suspect that the Raps and their rabid fans will spend more time dwelling on the 37-point mauling of New Jersey in the teams' first playoff rematch.
8 (11) Magic 2-1 Anyone else get the feeling, watching Dwight Howard rumble for 16 points, 12 points and seven blocks in Orlando's opener, that KG might have some competition in East?s Best Big Man rankings?
9 (16) Hornets 3-0 The Hornets started 4-0 last season, so this is nothing new. The newsy part is how Chris Paul, as we anticipated, is already running his team with a check-me-out edge after that long-term injury absence.
10 (20) Lakers 2-1 Pounding Phoenix in Phoenix without Odom? And then pulling away from Utah? That's two pretty loud and impressive statements from a team that hadn't made any on-court noise since about February.
11 (12) Nuggets 2-1 First Iverson said they'd win 60. Then 'Melo said it. Coach Karl said he'd settle for 55 wins, which would set a new franchise record, but someone obviously forgot to share the plan with New Orleans.
12 (7) Jazz 2-2 After 250 points in two games, we get it: Utah still has Golden State's number. The bad news? Utah is 0-2 against everyone else and has only one game left with the Warriors . . . which isn't until February.
13 (22) Hawks 1-1 The first five opponents might represent the toughest part of their schedule: Mavs, Pistons, Nets, Suns and Celtics. But the Hawks are more than surviving for starters. In fact, they really should be 2-0.
14 (23) Pacers 3-0 Focus, if you wish, on the fact that their victims -- Washington, Miami and Memphis -- are a combined 0-8 so far. We won't. The Pacers rank as our undisputed Team O' The Week regardless.
15 (24) Clippers 2-0 Week 2 commences with eight teams still unbeaten. Yet it's safe to say none of them are happier than the Clips, who dare to believe that Maggette, Kaman and Tim Thomas can fill the Elton Brand void.
16 (25) Bobcats 2-0 They were dreadful at the line against Milwaukee and shaky at the finish in Miami. But two wins by a total of five points means that the Bobs are two games over .500 for the first time in team history.
17 (10) Cavaliers 1-2 LeBron knows to never expect any sympathy, but maybe we can spare just a little, with the Halloween treat of a home opener against Dallas followed by a six-game trip out West . . . and still no sign of Varejao.
18 (15) Nets 2-1 Overreacting to one game, especially in Week 1, is ill-advised. But it ain't so easy to be philosophical about a 37-point home loss so early, just as the Suns' 21-point loss to the Lakers freaked out folks in Phoenix.
19 (8) Bulls 0-3 All those years of playing through KG and Pau rumors, on second thought, apparently didn't prepare the Bulls for the Kobe Cloud hanging over them. Shouldn't they be beating Philly at home, distracted or not?
20 (9) Warriors 0-3 If anyone's still wondering why Stephen Jackson was entrusted with the Warriors' captaincy, you'll note that they've looked absolutely lost without him in the first three games of Jack's seven-game suspension.
21 (18) Bucks 1-2 He survived his Opening Night jitters, then contributed 16 points in a win over Chicago in the home opener. Next up for Yi Jianlian? Just a game awaited by millions back home: Yi vs. Yao in Houston on Friday night.
22 (21) Knicks 1-1 Isiah has to be downright grateful already that the Knicks narrowly avoided the shame of losing their home opener to rebuilding Minny, with Denver returning to MSG on Tuesday for the first time since Fight Night.
23 (13) Heat 0-3 We're still optimistic about Ricky and Blount, but that seven-spot bump might have been a tad optimistic. With a 16-game losing streak, if you include exhibitions and the playoffs, back down they must go.
24 (17) Wizards 0-3 Expected to be commenting here about a big response from an offended Arenas after suggestions he might be traded for Kobe. Instead? We're talking about Gil's still-sore knee and the big words he couldn't back up.
25 (19) Grizzlies 0-2 They'd have preferred a win or two off the bat, but they'll have to settle for the four-ringed Gregg Popovich insisting that 'I'm not blowing smoke' when he calls the Grizz a playoff team.
26 (28) 76ers 1-2 The two most rabid Sixers fans we know didn't even gloat after their oft-dissed team went to Chicago and spoiled the Bulls' home opener. As poorly as the Bulls have started, I still think they should have.
27 (26) Trail Blazers 0-3 Blazermaniacs know real disappointment, so we're guessing they'll be able to rationalize a winless start that required their Oden-less heroes to open with a three-game trip through the mighty Southwest Division.
28 (27) SuperSonics 0-3 A winless start and the stark reality of owner Clay Bennett formally filing his request to move the franchise to OKC is a pretty depressing combo. The consolation: Durant is already getting better every game.
29 (30) Timberwolves 0-2 If the Wolves can play as hard in the next 80 games as they did in the first two, who knows? Maybe the diehards in 'Sota who've been stripped of their beloved KG will develop a bit of a soft spot for the new kids.
30 (29) Kings 0-3 Making the new coach's curfew? Apparently not a problem on the Kings' first trip of the season. The problem was finding a way to stay within single digits of the other team with Bibby out and Artest suspended

Adhivacana and patigha correspond to nāma and rūpa respectively, and it is clear from Majjhima iii,8 <M.i,190-1>[10] that both nāma and rūpa are conditions for each of the six kinds of contact.

cooran wrote:Hello Jaidyn,
Have you personally seen any bullying of ordained Sangha members or of lay sangha members? If so, what do you class as bullying and why?
with metta
Jaidyn wrote:I had not expected silence from you upon this important issue.
Jaidyn wrote:If I go to a physical Sangha and bring up the topic of how bullying possibly can manifest, I can imagine something of the following can happen:
The inquiry will be regarded disruptive by others because they feel offended.
People feel it is embarrassing to consider because they actually have had experiences of (indirect) bullying within the Sangha in general, and it is especially not supposed to happen in an organization proclaiming itself to value high moral standards.
It is hard to reflect upon this issue because it will look like I suggest bullying can happen, and that the Sangha in general does not like to be associated with such inquiry (weather bullying does happen or not).
I may be the one polluting the image of the revered Sangha by even expressing reflections, experiences, and concerns.
People will ridicule me, and everything I say will be denied and whitewashed and I will not only appear to be wrong, but maybe even appear to not be a real Buddhist. Maybe I will be accused for not having understood that everything I experience is because of my own attachment to the self?
People may think (supported or unsupported by Buddhism) disciplinary actions in the name of the Buddha can never be systemized wrongfully by someone against someone else.
People think that it can never happen in their Sangha, because everything is working fine, and the particular Sangha is regarded to have high standard (which may be true).
mikenz66 wrote:Hi Jaidyn,
I think that the lack of response may be because we are confused about what exactly you are referring to.
Do you mean:
Clearly most of us here would find it difficult to comment on the latter.
- Sangha in the sense of fellow lay practitioners; or
- Sangha in the sense of the Monastic Sangha?
James the Giant wrote:Uh, Jaidyn, perhaps if anyone here had seen any bullying in the sangha, they would have contributed to this topic.
Until anyone contributes even the tiniest example of bullying, it's all hypothetical and kinda pointless.
James the Giant wrote:Have you ever been to a physical monastery and asked the monks about this? How do you know bullying is a problem? Since you seem to have clear opinions on the subject, it sounds like you have some examples. Personally I have no doubt there may be bullying among ill-disciplined members of the sangha, but I've never seen a trace of it. I'd be interested in hearing of your experiences.
cooran wrote:No, Jaidyn, I haven't seen any bullying in lay or monastic sangha. I have been involved in lay sangha groups for nearly 15 years. I have been involved on committees, been secretary of the committee for a Forest Monastery, and have had five years worth contact with the local monastic Sangha. I have never seen bullying.
with metta and karuna,
James the Giant wrote:I've seen bullying by laypeople, against other laypeople, who were on the trust board of a monastery. Psychological manipulation kind of bullying. It was dirty dirty politics.
But the monastic sangha stayed well clear, and in the end voted to change the trust board to one that was more committed to honesty, transparency, and good will, because they saw what was going on.

Maintenance Pros Meet, Mix And Learn At IMEC 2009
EP Editorial Staff | November 1, 2009
Five years into a successful run, this Toronto event again brought together recognized experts and eager participants from around the globe…
Maintenance and asset-management professionals from around the world met in Toronto, Canada, September 9-11 at the fifth annual International Maintenance Excellence Conference (IMEC). The nearly 100 attendees included reliability professionals and academics with a passion for research in maintenance. IMEC was organized by the University of Toronto's Centre for Maintenance Optimization and Reliability Engineering (C-MORE) in partnership with Applied Technology Publications (ATP), publisher of Maintenance Technology magazine. The event was held at the University conference center in the heart of Toronto.
University of Toronto Professor Emeritus Andrew K.S. Jardine opened IMEC, welcoming participants to Toronto, and helped guide the event over its three-day run. Among the many outstanding IMEC speakers were Nelson Montano, La Silla Paranal Observatory, Chile; David Oberhettinger, NASA/Caltech Jet Propulsion Lab; Bob Platfoot, Covaris Pty Ltd, Australia; Lloyd Chiotto, Enbridge Gas, Toronto; and Norm Hann, Hydro One, Toronto. Maintenance Technology contributing editors Bob Williamson (Strategic Work Systems, Inc., North Carolina) and Ken Bannister (Engtech Industries, Ontario) rounded out the mix. Countries represented at IMEC this year included Australia, Botswana, Chile, Egypt, Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom, as well as Canada and the United States.
IMEC attendees said they found the presentations both stimulating and, importantly, valuable enough to justify often lengthy journeys to Toronto. Gert Mayer, chief operating officer of Cairo, Egypt-based ContrackFM, a facility-management firm, made one of the longest treks. "I would have had to pay a lot more to get the information I got here," he said. "It was well worth the money. I'm going home satisfied." Similarly, Edgar Waniuk, an asset-reliability leader based in Ontario, noted that IMEC hosted "some world-class speakers. It's a great knowledge base and I've enjoyed hearing every one of them." Another commented that he "benefited tremendously" from IMEC's exchange of ideas. And while most of those ideas were discussed in the conference setting, attendees also enjoyed an opportunity to gather informally over dinner atop Toronto's CN Tower, officially the world's tallest building.
Mainnovation of the Netherlands agreed to be IMEC's general sponsor, and Guy Delahay, Mainnovation's managing partner, gave the opening keynote address. Other sponsors and exhibitors reflected IMEC's international flavor: IFS of Sweden; IDCON, LAI Reliability Systems, NOBREAKDOWNS and Strategic Work Systems, from the United States; Conscious Asset Management, BANAK, OMDEC and PEMAC, from Canada; and Artesis, from the United Kingdom.
Thanks to the success of IMEC 2009, the sixth annual IMEC is expected to take place in Toronto in September 2010. Watch Maintenance Technology or visit www.imec.ca for details. Have specific questions? Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com MT

offering people the black plague.
For the past 3-4 years I've lucked into free Pacers tickets at least 5 times throughout the season. I offer them to close friends, acquaintances, family and completely strangers.
It's like pulling teeth to get ANYONE to go to a professional sporting event FOR FREE. Now I know the Pacers have fallen on hard times the past few years, but still... There is another team playing and usually there is another star player that is worth seeing.
I had 4 tickets tonight for the game and I REALLY wanted to see Durant, but I couldn't get ANY bites on the tickets. I was kind of bummed and I really didn't feel like going alone. When I get Colts, Indians or Reds tickets, I definitely don't have any trouble finding takers.
The day that I personally turn down free tickets to ANY professional sporting event is the day put a gun in mouth. Ok, maybe that's a little much.. but unless I have something serious going on, there is no place I'd rather be than watching a game.
That said, my excitement for this Pacers season is increasing by the day. I've been please with what I'm seeing in the pre-season. A lot of my close friends have taken the popular stance of "hating the NBA" which I don't really get.. I mean, whatever it's not the same as the Jordan/Bird era, but I still find it very enjoyable.
Uhhhhh Go Pacers?
