Salutations, 55ers!
Sometimes it is best to say nothing about some games. Our brief sojourn in New England is one of those times. I have repressed its memory. There….Hey, who do we play next?
Answer: The Milwaukee Bucks, who have beaten us twice in rather humiliating fashion. Personally, I am tired of humiliation. I want revenge. Hopefully, we'll see some tonight. I'm optimistic. The Pacers are pretty mercurial. They tend to bounce up and pop teams after someone squashes them flat.
Tonight, our antlered friends from Cheese Country leave their usual salt lick to visit the warm confines of The Bank. Last night, they were dispatched neatly by the Rockets 115-101 and have now lost 3 in a row. Their big guns, Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings, had a so-so night, scoring 12 and 16 points, respectively. The Bucks' big problem was 25 turnovers and poor perimeter defense. The Rockets' Carlos Delfino went 6-7 from 3-point land and James ("Fuzzy") Harden pumped in 29 points on them. My guess is the Bucks' coach, Plymouth, Indiana's own Scott Skiles, was less than happy. At any rate, we shouldn't be viewing the Bucks on one of their up notes.
The key to beating Milwaukee is containing Ellis and Jennings. As they go, so go the Bucks. In the last two games we didn't do that and lost big time. However, I think we can do this at home, particularly if we pressure our antlered friends into the same sort of turnover night that they had against Houston. The Bucks really have no answer to David ("D-Train") West, whose recent shooting funk, I think, will end tonight. Also when we played the Bucks before Tyler Hansbrough was a different sort of psychotic than he's been lately. Roy's game too has been modestly improving and he's way overdue for a breakout night. Add Area 55 and the G2 Zone into the mix and I think we come away with a win. I've been pretty good on my predictions lately too. Better than Mike Wells, anyway. Let's see what happens!
Detroit Road Trip There's been a lot of early interest in the Detroit Road Trip, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 23rd at 7:00 P.M. At last count, I've got something like 43 names down just from Area 55. I've heard that G2 Zone has a similarly lengthy list. Pacers Marketing Jefe, Rob Laycock, will be looking into the possibility of scoring us a block of tickets at, hopefully, reduced rates. Hell, maybe we can score a bus too. Watch this Newsletter for further info.
The Western Boone Star Force Dance Team Comes to BLF! At the Wizards game, fans were treated to the martial choreography of the Western Boone High School "Star Force" Dance Team. Sadly, I was not all that wowed by their performance. I was hoping to see the bend-o antics of Rubberboy ("The World's Most Flexible Man"), so I confess to viewing "Star Force" with a somewhat jaundiced eye right from the get-go.
But there are other reasons for my giving "Star Force" just a ho-hum review. Frankly, I'm always just a tad underwhelmed when PS&E opts for unpaid halftime amusement from the happy feet of local area dance or exercise troupes. I've always suspected that such interludes are not really intended to be seen but, rather, are periodically inserted into BLF halftime fare simply to gin up sales of beer, hot dogs and popcorn at the elite Blue Flame Grill. These extravaganzas don't really cater to the jaded tastes of Area 55ers like me, that have been forced to watch their ilk at Pacers halftime shows over and over again now for three solid years.
Nope, I admit to having a preference for the slicker weirdness which comes from paid regulars - the professional NBA halftime charlatans like Tom Silver ("The World's Greatest Hypnotist") or Dan Menendez ("The Piano Juggler") for example. When you have to stay in your seat to watch amateurs like "Star Force", you never really expect much and always have to concede the tyros style points just because they're homie wannabe entertainers that don't know any better. With David Stern's paid family-fun pros, I feel less inhibited. I can let loose with a stinging review or a boo and a hiss at the conclusion of a performance with no pangs of conscience whatsoever.
All that said, I still have to scratch my head a little to describe here exactly what "Star Force" was all about.
As far as I could tell "Star Force" consisted of around 20 or 25 high school students -- mostly girls, but there were a few guys in there too -- from Thorntown, Indiana (where Western Boone H.S. is located and where "Star Force" is apparently headquartered). The troupe's members were all dressed oddly – wearing Army surplus camouflage fatigues and black combat boots. Some were in full camouflage. However, a few of the women in the group (who looked kind of hot to me!) had spangled black clingy tops on, which sort of detracted from their decidedly camouflaged pants. I like the sexiness of clingy black tops however, so the troupe picked up a style point or two for that.
The use of all the camouflage gear actually puzzled me. Perhaps Star Force was trying to meld into the shrubbery and not be seen. But if that was the idea, it was an epic fail since jungle flora into which they could merge was distinctly lacking at BLF center court in wintry Indianapolis on January 2nd. Despite their camouflage, I could see them all quite well.
Their dance act was OK. It was pretty energetic and set to some bouncy rhythmic musical stuff that I (being hip-hop challenged) didn't recognize. The dancers all seemed to be in sync, so I can't fault them on their choreography either – which seemed to borrow a lot from Hong Kong cinema. It featured plenty of karate-style punches, some Taoist arm folds and oodles of synchronized kicking. I don't know if there was an intended theme to it all or not. To me, it looked like a promo for "Jackie Chan Leaves the Shaolin Pagoda and Joins the Green Berets" but I readily admit that other viewers may have had a different take. Anyway, "Star Force" punched and kicked away frenetically for a good 6 or 7 minutes and then exited to good-natured applause from the largely indifferent crowd. Maybe the fans were simply recovering from a New Year's Eve hangover and were in no condition to be picky about their 2013 halftime fun. Maybe they were still hyp-mo-tized from the Memphis game's show. It's hard to say.
Personally, in keeping with all the commando fun, I would have liked to have seen a couple of chicken wire and paper-maché tanks or armored cars mixed in with the dancing. Or perhaps, if Star Force's deal was to emulate a Navy Seal strike – which is one possibility – maybe we could have had a couple of dancers sporting A-Team mohawks and chains a la Mr. T or perhaps a couple of turbaned terrorists or camels thrown in for light comic relief. The act needed something more than what we were shown. For instance, I would have liked to have pit them against the Korean Tae Kwan Do Academy that appeared a few weeks ago. Then we could have had more realistic kick carnage. Also, sporting types like me could have placed bets on the body count after all the stylized blood and gore was over.
As goofy as the Star Force performance was, I am thankful for one thing -- there was no Armed Forces swearing-in ceremony at its climactic end. While an army veteran myself, I still confess to having pacifist tendencies. Yeah, I know it's stimulating and patriotic and all, but personally I'm a little tired of our ongoing halftime glorification of war. More to the point, I'm still reeling from the awfulness of the mass Air Force swearing-in ceremony that passed for halftime fun back when we played New Orleans.
All in all, I still give "Star Force" a solid B. It coulda been better, but they were, after all, just unpaid high school kids and the effort was there.
Time to go to press!

Lemon Cilantro Potato Salad
As I mentioned the other day, spring is right around the corner which makes me want to start using spring ingredients. There's something about lemons that just make me feel like it's spring out. This potato salad is great because it doesn't have mayonaise in it! And it's served warm. It's a very memorable potato salad and would be perfect for Easter dinner.
The recipe comes from Hubby's mom's friend (I'm sure she found it in a magazine or online, but it was emailed to me by Hubby's mom who got it from her). Hubby laughed because he was telling me something the other day about said friend of his mothers. He was asking me if I remember her. I said yea, I remember her, she's the one who makes the potato salad. He laughed and commented that it was very fitting how I remembered her.
One Year Ago: Butternut Squash and Black Bean Quesadillas
Two Years Ago: Dorie's Perfect Party Cake
Lemon Cilantro Potato Salad
Yield: 6-10
2 lb (6 to 8 medium) Red Bliss potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup lightly packed chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced, or 1 shallot, minced
Put the potatoes in a large pot of well-salted water. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
Drain and let cool slightly. While the potatoes are still warm, slice them about 1/4 inch thick (no need to peel).
Put half of the potatoes in a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon zest, and juice, 1 tsp kosher salt, and several grinds of pepper.
Drizzle half of the dressing over the potatoes. Add the remaining potatoes to the bowl, drizzle on the rest of the dressing, and toss gently with a large spatula to combine well.
Add the cilantro and scallions and toss gently again. Taste and add more salt as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

That looks really good, a new take on potato salad..can't wait to try it out!
Mmm I like potato salad and with coriander yum!
Lemon and cilantro are the perfect couple! I love your story — I have a notebook with family recipes in it with names like "Christina's Dip" or "Mary's Potato Salad" (yes, I have a potato salad lady too!). I feel that it is only fitting to name the dish after them 🙂
That looks great! We are having the in-laws over Friday night and grilling burgers and I think this will be a perfect side!
Hubby's Mom here: for those who don't like cilantro (and I know, hard to believe there are people who don't like it), you can substitute basil. This potato salad is really good either way.
This sounds wonderfully fresh and flavorful. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-y potato salad so this sounds great!

Oooh potato salad definitely makes me think of warm weather. And even more so with lemon and cilantro! Plus, it's so pretty 🙂
we made this last night and it was awesome!! will definitely be making it again. so easy and delicious!
Love your blog!! We made this last night – it was amazing!!! We love potato salad, but never eat it because of how horrible it is for you. This is going to be a summer staple recipe for us. Thanks!!!
I'm making this now, but what do I do with the shallot?
Marguerite – If you're using shallots instead of scallions, just add them in near the end where it says to stir in the scallion.s

To the editor:
Thanks and praise to my constituents in Precinct 81 during an arduous election event.
Amidst some, deservedly, grumbling and much complaining, these Islanders behaved with control and character, patiently padding their queues and even, in some cases, allowing others with special needs to precede them at the long-awaited machines.
In addition, we are an intelligent group, and I am sure that many of our suggestions will be implemented. Kudos as well to my co-workers who remained cool under fire. I look forward to serving you all again!

EDIT: The truth as always is in the middle, does Danny immediately make us the 5th best team in the NBA again? No. Are we probably 5-4 or 6-3 instead of 3-6? I think so.
Last edited by Trader Joe; 11-15-2012 at 02:47 PM.
Overall, even with Granger, I feel like our offensive problems are that we lack a facilitator (or two). And I have been very vocal about it even when we have been winning.
Danny suffers from our flaws as much as anyone, and his scoring average and shooting % has reflected that the last few years. The JOB teams HAD facilitators, Dunleavy is a player like I'm talking about. Tinsley is a player like that, hell TJ Ford is a player like that. Dunleavy, who I hate as a ball player, is strong in those areas. He is soft as butter and can't defend Betty White, but he can sure as hell handle the ball, make a good pass, get in the lane and facilitate. And Danny played his best next to him. The problem was that they were both SF's and neither could be an effective SG.
So my argument is that a guy like Granger really can't fix it. All we are seeing without him is a magnified version of our flawed team from an offensive standpoint.
Think about it......all these complaints are the exact same things that were said all of last year every time we had a slump or a bad performance. Roy can't play, Paul George lacks a killer instinct, George Hill ain't a PG, Augustin/Collison suck, and so on. And Danny coming back won't erase those things because there is some truth is each one of them.
Then you'll have no problem coming up with names of people who've argued that Danny is a great facilitator then, if I'm just merely taking you out of context, and not the other way around.
A legend in your own mind.
Amen to this, everybody here should think about reading this great post.
This just doesn't make much sense, IMHO.
If the problems of last year are the problems of this year, and last years team was good and this years team is bad, then what explains the difference?
You're arguing that it isn't Danny, yet him not playing is the only significant difference between last year and this year, besides the bench. Or do you just think the entire problem is the bench?
If the problems are the same this year as they were last year, then shouldn't we be able to expect similiar results as opposed to the direct opposite?
Neither you nor Vnlza has been able to provide any reasoning as to why this year is so different than last year, other than simply hanging your hat on last year being an aberration.
I have no idea wtf you are talking about, good try though.
Another thing to note....even with Granger out.....if Hibbert didn't revert to his old self instead of the dominant Low Post scorer that he once was....then I can see us doing much better. Keep in mind...we lost at least 3 game where the difference on the offensive end was 3-4 points....the difference in Scoring average between Hibbert last year and this year.
As we have noted......Granger was the guy that kept the offense honest....Hibbert is capable of commanding double-teams ( at least he was last year ). If Hibbert can do the same and regain some attention on the offensive end...then I think that we can become an "average scoring" team instead of the worst scoring Team in the League.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Teams had no tape on Vogels offense last year. We weren't expected to be that good. Nobody knew exactly what kind of team we were gonna be. We played Orlando without Dwight Howard. We played Miami without Chris Bosh. All those things worked in our favor. We were healthy last year.
I don't think we were that great last year. 5th place is not my goal for the Pacers, it is a title.
I said we could be a good tough middle of the road playoff team this year. Coincidentally that is exactly what we were last year.
But, I am talking about the team going any further than that.
There seems to be a huge segment of the board that thinks that just because you were a good team one year, that you'll automatically progress forward. Too bad that didn't work out for Atlanta or Memphis.

Could it be without Granger that the flaws in the offense ( when it comes to the Starting Lineup ) are more exposed and therefore magnified?
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
LOL! That really doesn't say alot for Granger when you compare him to the rest of the players on the team at the present!
And that's a valid opinion to have, but it doesn't change how important he is to the team.
I'll quote you so I don't take you out of context.
So again I ask, who's been arguing that Danny is a facilitator? That's not what people said, nor implying. Danny isn't a facilitator, he's a finisher.
And yet you're arguing that the problems last year are the same exact problems as this year. I'll even quote you again.
So the problems are the exact same as last year, and the only difference this year is that Danny is out, but Danny playing again won't result like last year, because each year is different.Think about it......all these complaints are the exact same things that were said all of last year every time we had a slump or a bad performance. Roy can't play, Paul George lacks a killer instinct, George Hill ain't a PG, Augustin/Collison suck, and so on. And Danny coming back won't erase those things because there is some truth is each one of them.

Since he's been our main offensive option, our offense has NEVER looked THIS BAD. I mean even when we had Earl Freakin Watson as our starting PG, we were still able to score a lot of nights (yes it's because of JOB's bs system) with Danny at the helm. He was a good-great scorer on a bad team. As bad as our team is playing now, we don't even have anyone that can be a good to great scorer on a bad team lol.
We know we need more facilitators, shooters, and shot creators. Nobody can dispute that. If nothing else, then we definitely need a player that can do at least two of the three. Danny is only a shooter and a scorer. We know he won't solve all of our problems, but he's definitely been taken for granted for what he provides this team.
People I am not arguing Danny isn't a good offensive player. I am not arguing that he doesn't help the offense. This thread was originally about our problems as a team in regards to this rough start, and whether or not it's because Danny is out. I think it has something to do with it, mainly that it has thrust Paul George and Roy Hibbert into roles neither are comfortable with.
But, overall I feel like our lack of good guard play will hinder us regardless, no matter how strong Danny returns. And we won't build on last years success by going further into the playoffs. Once you get past the first round you are playing the ELITE teams. You can't get to the conference finals with George Hill and Paul George in the back court. JMO
Political Science and History degree over here. Nicely done, very nicely done - and so, so appropriate.
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Well there's the disconnect.
No one is arguing that Danny is a solution good enough to make the Pacers an elite offensive team. Instead the argument is that Danny is a solution that will make the Pacers as good as last years offense.
Getting back to last years level would be a huge positive.

"To those who like me — I'm back. And to those who don't like me — I'm back." — Jerzy Skolimowski, 2008
Jerzy Skolimowski's Essential Killing (2010) is one the best films of the year, just getting a release in a very limited fashion in the United States as 2011 draws to a close. Earlier this year, I was interviewing the British director Michael Sarne, a friend of Skolimowski's, and rather than talk about his own career, Sarne kept interrupting himself to urge me repeatedly, "you've got to see Essential Killing." Now I can see why.
Vincent Gallo doesn't speak a word in the film, yet is utterly convincing as Mohammed, a man captured by American forces in the desert of an unnamed country, flown to an Eastern European country, also unnamed, and subjected to torture. We get brief glimpses of the action from Mohammed's point of view; he can't hear, and seems to be affected with tinnitus, so everything for him is just a constant, irritating ringing in his ears.
Mohammed escapes, and goes on the run, killing to survive, but in the end succumbs to a combination of the harsh climate, lack of food, and wounds suffered during his escape. Intercut with this are flashbacks of his earlier life, which seem simultaneously idyllic and mysterious. We never know why he's been captured; we never know what crimes he may or may not have committed; all we see is Mohammed's fight to survive in a hostile landscape.
The end result is a shattering experience, superbly directed by the 73 year old Skolimowski, who took 17 years off from directing to paint and act, before returning to film with Four Nights with Anna (Cztery noce z Anną) in 2008. Born in 1938 in Poland, Skolimowski was part of the Polish New Wave in the 1960s, with such landmark films as Identification Marks: None (Rysopis, 1964), Walkover (Walkower, 1965) and Barrier (Bariera, 1966), but these films are child's play compared to this new work. A truly international film, shot in Poland, Norway, Ireland, and Hungary, Essential Killing is essentially a parable, rather than a political film, and remains very much an enigma throughout its compact 83 minute running time.
As Skolomowski said of the film in a recent interview, "I don't even say whether the film starts in Afghanistan, Iraq or maybe some other place, whether it's an American military base, where the prisoners are kept, whether it's situated in any of those countries. I don't say whether the plane which is landing somewhere in Europe is really landing in Szymany, in Poland. For a long time not even a word is spoken in Polish. Only later, in the second part of the film, we can hear parts of dialogues in Polish.
So, all this is very enigmatic, camouflaged, because it isn't at all about any documentary truth. The film doesn't describe any particular event. It is all fantasy. And it's kept rather in the style of a poem or a fable which merely slides over some events which could possibly happen, which most probably haven't taken place, for we would probably know something about it; or maybe it was so strictly kept a secret that we will never find out. [. . .] That's why I don't treat this film as political. I would rather call it poetical and I hope this is the way it will be perceived."
See the trailer here; see the film as soon as you can.

9 Yellow Kitchens You'll Love
In a Los Angeles kitchen that dates back to the 1920s, designer Peter Dunham painted American spindle chairs a vivid post-box red—Benjamin Moore's Moroccan Red—and used French industrial metal pendants from Bourgeois Bohème to light the table and island. "The kitchen is very traditional," he says. "I needed the color and patina to perk it up." Viking appliances.

Topic: Scan showed improvement
Still new at posting but my scans on Feb 5 still show my liver tumor shrinking and my bone mets stable with no new activity! Yeah! Still have a way to go but heading in the right direction.
I have 3 more treatments of gem/cis to go then we have to figure out what will be next. Any suggestions of where to look for that info? I see several different ways that people are treated when not on gem/cis. My doctor has mentioned a couple different options and of course much of the decision will be based on the CT scan after that last treatment.
Also I have another question I'm really good at finding the posts of people who either started with surgery or their tumors had not already spread. Is there an area on this site where I can find people like myself..tumors have spread and not eligible for surgery at least right now?
Thanks to all that post...your info is really helpful.

Whooping Cranes arriving in Texas
With whooping cranes now making their way back to Texas for the winter, biologists are hoping this year will see a record number of the endangered birds in the state.
Their population reached a low 21 birds in the wild in the 1940s and again in 1954. The only remaining wild population now nests in northwestern Canada and spends the winter foraging in the wetlands and uplands of the central Texas coast. Last year 283 birds arrived in Texas. But with a reported 37 chicks fledged in Canada this past summer, biologists think that the Aransas-Wood Buffalo population, which once numbered only 17 birds, might hit the 300-bird milestone in Texas for the first time this year.
Though the whooping crane has made a remarkable comeback, primarily due to protection from unregulated shooting and habitat conservation, the species still faces daunting obstacles, especially in the 2,400-mile migration path traversed each spring and fall. Two-thirds to three-fourths of the annual mortality in the population occurs during the approximately nine weeks the cranes may spend in migration each year.
Radio-marked birds detected in Texas earlier this fall are two of 22 birds being tracked in a study being conducted by Felipe Chavez-Ramirez of the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory designed to help better understand habitat use and sources of mortality during migration.
Even on the wintering grounds, where private and public land owners in the stretch of coast between Port Aransas and Seadrift have collaborated to help protect whooping crane habitat, additional challenges exist, according to Lee Ann Linam, a wildlife diversity biologist at Texas Parks and Wildlife.
"Despite the existence of protected areas such as Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and private landowners who are committed to habitat conservation," she said, "broad threats such as shifts in climate and in freshwater inflow, invasion of black mangrove, declines in food items such as blue crab, development pressures, and the possibility of a pollution event still provide challenges for conservation of whooping cranes and other coastal species. The comeback of the whooping crane will continue to be as vulnerable as the health of our coastal ecosystems."
Texas citizens away from the coast can also contribute to conservation efforts for the whooping crane. The cranes usually pass through a migration corridor in Texas that extends from the Texas panhandle eastward to Dallas-Fort Worth and southward to the wintering grounds on the central Texas coast. Their flight path would take them over major cities such as Wichita Falls, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, and Victoria. The majority of the cranes pass through Texas from late October through the end of November. Citizens can help by reporting sightings of whoopers and prevent disturbance of cranes when they remain overnight at roosting and feeding locations.
Whooping cranes are the tallest birds in North America, standing nearly five feet. They are solid white except for black wing-tips that are visible only in flight. They fly with necks and legs outstretched. During migration they often pause overnight to use wetlands for roosting and agricultural fields for feeding, but seldom remain more than one night. They nearly always migrate in small groups of fewer than 4-5 birds, but they may be seen roosting and feeding with large flocks of the smaller sandhill crane.
Anyone sighting a whooping crane can help by reporting it to TPWD at 1-800-792-1112 x4644 or 1-512-847-9480. Sightings can also be reported via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Observers are asked especially to note whether the cranes have colored leg bands on their legs.
Additional identification aids can be found at http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/?o=whooper and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/SandhillCranes/SandhillCraneHunters.htm. Information about opportunities to view wintering whooping cranes can be obtained from Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (http://www.fws.gov/southwest/refuges/texas/aransas/) or the Rockport Chamber of Commerce (http://www.rockport-fulton.org/).

I have played discgolf for about a year and quite recently started throwing forehand which give me more lenght on my drives.
The problem is that most discs flips over. The only disc I have which never flips over is Discsport Flick. I sometimes use Innova Boss which I can throw a bit longer but I find it unpredictable and if I throw it flat it will definitley flip.
So I want a stable disc like Flick but something that have more glide and goes a little longer. Any tips?
I usually throw the Flick about 80 meters (260 feet) and the Boss (if it doesn't flip) around 100 meters (330 feet).

Astros to open season without set closer
JUPITER, Fla. -- Astros manager Bo Porter said the team will enter the season using a closer by committee, though he'd like to eventually settle on one player to use in that role.
He said earlier this month that Anthony Bass, Josh Fields, Matt Albers, Chad Qualls and lefty Kevin Chapman were candidates to close, so perhaps one of those could get some save chances to start the season. Jesse Crain figures to be in the mix when he returns from biceps tendinitis surgery.
"I think if we had a guy, it would have been decided by now," Porter said. "We will go into the season with a closer by committee and try to look at the best situation given that night in each game."
The Astros struggled mightily to close games last year, especially after trading Jose Veras to the Tigers at the Trade Deadline. Fields, who has had a great spring, got some chances to close games in his rookie season last year. Qualls closed for the D-backs in 2009-10.
"If you have a guy down there that you can say to yourself, 'This guy has separated himself from the other guys that were in the competition,' the information will be in front of you," Porter said. "That's not the case right now. I'm not going to speculate on what's going to happen by April 15, but as we sit here today, that's the situation we're dealing with."
Porter said it's more about having five guys all throwing well as opposed to no great choices.
"All of those guys have done a really good job," Porter said. "When you don't have one guy that has separated himself, you would rather it be the way it is where all those guys are throwing the ball well. That's a good problem to have."

IMS has long held the aspiration to provide accommodation privacy for all retreatants. For many, a single room is the perfect space for meditating alone and for reflecting on the teachings. Some also appreciate the fairness of offering the same kind of housing to anyone attending an IMS course. For others, private sleeping accommodation is essential for a feeling of safety, and allows ease in attending to various medical and physical needs.
While sharing a room during a retreat can provide an opportunity for different kinds of learning, we have listened to your comments that single accommodations offer the gifts of solitude, silence and simplicity.
These qualities support our entry into a quieter way of living and being, and deepen our sense of refuge. We are grateful to everyone in our community whose input has helped shape our vision.
The time has come! Plans are now underway for two significant building projects at our Retreat Center. One is to construct a brand new dormitory, and the other is a thorough and long-overdue renovation of the first and second floors of the 'Catskills.'
We are on schedule to break ground in early September and to celebrate the completed facilities in mid-2013. We are committed to staying operational throughout construction, with the new dormitory going up first and the Catskills being redone as retreatants settle into the new building (which, by the way, will need a name – more on this at a later time).
On completion, privacy in accommodations will be guaranteed for everyone who sits at IMS.
The new dormitory, on the left in the illustration above, consists of 28 simple single rooms on two floors, all suitable for anyone with chemical sensitivities. The building itself is designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards for energy efficiency. A covered walkway connects it to the Annex (at the back) and the Catskills (far right).
This bird's eye view shows how all three Retreat Center dormitories – the new building, the Annex and the Catskills – are connected. For accessibility, the dining room, the 1st floors of the Catskills and the Annex, the walkway and the 2nd floor of the new building will all be on the same level.
In the renovated Catskills, all 1st and 2nd floor rooms will become singles, with new flooring, ceiling and wall surfaces throughout. Bathrooms will be completely refitted and additional insulation will be installed for greater energy efficiency. The Gym will no longer be used for accommodations.
Layout of bedrooms in the new dormitory increases a sense of refuge. The placement of the wardrobe creates a 'nook' for the bed, offering privacy from the doorway and reducing any hallway noise. Walls will be constructed to isolate sound.
In both the new dormitory and the renovated Catskills, bathroom blocks contain fully private rooms for each toilet and shower stall.
An endeavor such as this requires expenditures outside IMS's annual budget. After careful consideration, we set a goal of $2,350,000 to accomplish both projects. In late 2009, we began a major fundraising effort to achieve this, and and in early 2012 we announced that our goal had been met.
Thank you to all who contributed to this exciting endeavor. Through the power of our sangha's generosity, our vision will be brought to fruition.

Listen to yourself and notice this relationship of sati (mindfulness) to the thought process or the emotional reactions you are experiencing, and then use the expression "they are what they are" or "it is what it is" as a way of looking, not judging. So it is what it is, the suchness. I remember reading about Zen Buddhism where they talk about suchness. I thought, " What is suchness?" because it didn't mean all that much to me at the time. In Pali they have the word tatha. The Buddha refered to himself as the tathagatha, that which means suchness, that which is now, rather than "I'm Gotama, the Buddha, born to Queen Maya and King Suddhodana in Lumbini, and when I was born I took seven steps on seven lotuses." So after his enlightenment there was no Buddha, no Gotama, nothing, nobody, but that which is now, the suchness of that which is present now. So this word tathata has the sense of as-is-ness, suchness.
In Thai "suchness" is pen yang nun eng. Ajahn Buddhadasa - at Suan Mokkh monastery in the south of Thailand - was great. I asked him once what he would want with him if he were isolated on a desert island, and he said just a little note saying pen yang nun eng : "this is the way it is", tatha.
"When cognizing what is to be cognized, he doesn't construe an [object as] cognized. He doesn't construe an uncognized. He doesn't construe an [object] to-be-cognized. He doesn't construe a cognizer.
Thus, monks, the Tathagata — being the same with regard to all phenomena that can be seen, heard, sensed, & cognized — is 'Such.' And I tell you: There's no other 'Such' higher or more sublime.
Now, we come to the fourth and last topic: tathata (suchness, thusness). "Merely thus," "just such": everything is such as it is and in no way different from that thusness. This is called "tathata." When tathata is seen, the three characteristics of anicca, dukkha, and anatta are seen, sunnata is seen, and idappaccayata is seen. Tathata is the summary of them all -- merely thus, only thus, not-otherness. There is nothing better than this, more than this, other than this, thusness. To intuitively realize tathata is to see the truth of all things, to see the reality of the things which have deceived us. The things which delude us are all the things which cause discrimination and duality to arise in us: good-evil, happiness-sadness, win-lose, love-hate, etc. There are many pairs of opposites in this world. By not seeing tathata, we allow these things to trick us into believing in duality: this-that, liking-disliking, hot-cold, male-female, defiled, enlightened. This delusion causes all our problems. Trapped in these oppositions, we can't see the truth of things. We fall into liking and disliking, which in turn leads to the defilements, because we don't see tathata.
What we must see constantly and deeply is that good is a sankhara and that evil is a sankhara too. The pleasant and unpleasant feelings, sukha and dukkha, are both sankhara. Getting and disappearing, losing and winning all are sankhara. There isn't anything which isn't a sankhara. Thus, all things are the same -- tathata. All things are just suchness, just this way, not otherwise. Further, we can say that heaven is a sankhara and hell is a sankhara. So, heaven and hell are tathata -- just thus. Our minds should be above heaven and above hell, above good and above bad, above joy and above dukkha in all respects. Tathata is the fourth area of understanding or paññä, the wisdom that must be developed to a sufficient degree. We must study reality on both the physical-material level and on the mental-spiritual level, until our knowledge and wisdom is adequate, natural, and constant.
The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbours as one living a pure life.
A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.
This made her parents angry. She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin.
In great anger the parent went to the master. "Is that so?" was all he would say.
After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. He obtained milk from his neighbours and everything else he needed.
A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer. She told her parents the truth - the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket.
The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back.
Hakuin was willing. In yielding the child, all he said was: "Is that so?"

On Suppressing Temptation
Of all temptations known to man, none is stronger -- not even sex -- than the temptation of money. This goes back to the very beginning of humanity, even before the actual development of a monetary system; in fact, a huge percentage of the Biblical verses are devoted to money matters. Of course, it's absolutely fine to be motivated to make money and even harbor some desire to become wealthy. But temptation becomes dangerous when it leads to sloppy behavior -- so, as an investor, I suppress it.
Motivation is what allows me to bet big when the price right, to hold shares for years if the price is still attractive, to buy at $10 and, if the stock drops to $5, to buy even more. Motivation is what also prevents me from chasing a rising stock price out of fear that I will "miss out." Most of all, it's what enables me to think independently, even if that means the consensus is thinking differently from how I am....349 more words left in this article.

Now comes the follow-up campaign.
The Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout and Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper lived up to most expectations as rookies in 2012, and in Trout's case, he exceeded them by miles as he established himself as one of the best all-around players in the game. Harper had a little more difficulty, but he still managed a sound season.
Their respective teams called up the players, who have become good friends, on the same day, April 28. Both made the All-Star teams in their respective leagues and won Rookie of the Year awards. Both have become household baseball names and two of the faces of Major League Baseball.
Now they have to do it again.
"Just have fun, play my game, don't push myself too much," Trout said of how he will approach his highly anticipated sophomore season. "When I play baseball, I'm not worried about what people think or what they're saying. I have one thing on my mind, to enjoy the game and do anything to help the team win."
Last season, Trout did just about everything to help the Angels win. For a time he was the key reason for them looking like one of the best teams in the American League. But because the Angels didn't bring him up until late April, the hole they dug themselves in the division ended up being too deep and the team missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season.
Trout made things happen in every aspect of the game as a rookie. He hit for average (.326), got on base (.399 OBP), hit for power (30 home runs, .963 OPS), ran (49 steals, 129 runs) and played incredible defense (2.1 defensive WAR). He unfairly missed on the Gold Glove for center field and on the MVP award—let's not rehash that, though—but he won a Silver Slugger award and is now the centerpiece of an Angels lineup that also features Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols.
That is high praise.
"There's going to be a lot of expectations on Mike," Pujols said during a February press conference in Tempe, Ariz., featuring that trio. "He needs to know how to say 'no' sometimes to people, because everybody is going to want a piece of him. He needs to stay focused and do what he needs to do."
Harper took a different path to his rookie success. He was a star in high school and already a known name even to casual fans before the Washington Nationals called him up. He made his major league debut at Dodger Stadium and was soundly booed whenever his name was announced. His reputation as being a cocky and entitled teenager preceded him, and he had some dustups on and off the field related to those adjectives.
But Harper always played all out and never dogged it. He finished the season with a 119 OPS-plus and hit 22 home runs, helping the Nationals to the best record in the bigs. He was an adventure in the outfield from time to time, but he showed he has the tools to live up to the hype that has surrounded him since before he could legally drive himself to games.
So how exactly can these two improve on what they did before? For Harper, the bar is set lower than for Trout, but the expectations for the former haven't changed. Harper has never been one to shy away from the spotlight, so he welcomes that, although he does so with a newfound humility that accompanied him to the big leagues last year.
"It's going to be the same thing," Harper told reporters when he reported to spring training this year. "I'm going to treat every single guy on our team with respect. I'm still that young guy out there. I'm still going to play the same game I play, 120 percent every single day I'm out there. If I'm hurt, on my deathbed, it doesn't really matter. I'm going to go out there, work hard and play the game the right way."
There is no definitive way to tell what kind of second seasons these two will have, but the books on each hitter have expanded and they will be focal points when opposing teams have their scouting meetings before playing the Angels and Nationals. That will be an adjustment for both, but the incredible work ethic they showed as rookies will serve them well whenever a slump hits.
The ZiPS projection system understandably has Trout falling back a bit this year. It projects a .282/.364/.507 line with a .371 weighted on-base average, 29 home runs and 122 runs scored and a 7.4 WAR.
For Harper, ZiPS shows a similar season to his rookie one: .274/.348/.486, .358 wOBA, 26 homers, 70 RBI and a 4.7 WAR.
Trout and Harper aren't the only impressive rookies trying to prove last season wasn't a fluke. Guys like Texas Rangers righthander Yu Darvish, Oakland A's left fielder Yoenis Cespedes, Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier and Arizona Diamondbacks lefthander Wade Miley starred for their teams last summer and will have a magnifying glass on them this year.

Oh, sure, two days ago I said the market should rally for one to three days. But I didn't think it would rally all the way back -- not at all. Yet that is exactly what happened, so let's look at the statistics.
Last Friday the S&P 500 was up 13 points, on Wednesday it rose 19 -- and the NYSE advance-decline line showed a net of +1530 both days. On its own, Wednesday's breadth was good, though it was lacking compared with last week -- and, even so, the McClellan Summation Index continues to head downward. Heck, it needs another decent up day just to flatten out, let alone turn back upward.
Then there's the number of stocks at new highs -- 150 on Wednesday. Now I cannot do a proper comparison yet, since the S&P hasn't even taken out the Monday of 1525. But suffice it to say that we are quite far away from a reading above 495, which is what the peak reading is thus far. That's not to mention the fact that the Hi-Lo indicator has most definitely rolled over.
Meanwhile, the S&P's action relative to the Russell was probably the most surprising indicator, in my view: The ratio ticked up. On a day where the market moves relentlessly higher, I fully expected the Russell to keep pace, but it did not.
For those who want to see the bullish aspect here, we haven't seen a higher high in the ratio yet. That would come above 1.68. For now, though, this ratio troughed on Feb. 19. Perhaps that is why the indicators lagged in Wednesday's action.
The best news was the action in the Dow Jones Transportation Average -- though I would point out that this index did not close at a higher high, even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average did. Just put that on the back burner for a few days and watch it, because if the transports cannot eke out a higher high, we'll have the first Dow Theory non-confirmation since this rally began. I saw a lot of excitement over the transports, and no one seemed to notice that the index had failed to make a higher high.
I would remind folks that, a few weeks ago, we did a measured target on the transports, and the first one was right up in this area -- 5900 to 6000. There is one more higher target, around 6400, but for now let's just see how this one unfolds in the coming days.
In any event, this is the second time in two weeks that we've seen a round trip in the markets. Big swings in volatility are what we typically get at bottoms -- and at tops. I will let you decide what you think of what we're seeing now. I, for one, continue to think it remains part of a correction pattern.

Organ donors give others a second chance at life
here. Learn more about McPherson's donor, 12-year-old West Virginian Taitlyn Hughes here. Read more about McPherson and Hughes' story here. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- If I were to ask you what significance Feb. 14 holds, you would probably say it's Valentine's Day and leave it at that. But Feb. 14 is also National Organ Donor Day, which gives a whole new meaning to giving your heart to someone.The purpose of National Organ Donor Day is to raise awareness about organ donation and its importance. Donating an organ is a serious topic of discussion and one that is personal to me. Not only am I a registered organ donor, but I will eventually need an organ transplant because of complications with my cystic fibrosis.In honor of National Organ Donor Day, I'd like to dispel some popular myths about organ donation:First, the myth that doctors won't save your life if they find your organ donor card, instead letting you die to give your organs to other people. As the Center for Organ Recovery and Education reports, this could not be further from the truth. Doctors, nurses and paramedics will do everything possible to save your life.In fact, for organs to be donated, the donor must be in a hospital and on a ventilator at the time of his or her death. So rest easy because this urban legend couldn't get any more debunked than it already has.What about the myths that you have to be in good health or of a certain age to donate an organ? Nope. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' organdonor.gov, whether or not your organs can be donated is determined at the time of your death. While there are a few absolute restrictions (such as HIV infection, active cancer or systematic infection), generally your medical history doesn't matter. With my cystic fibrosis, there's no way my lungs, liver or pancreas could ever be used because of systematic infection, but, it doesn't affect my heart or corneas, which are in fine condition to be donated.As for the age of a donor? According to both CORE and organdonor.gov, you can never be too young or too old. Newborns can be registered organ donors, as can senior citizens.If you're of age to have a driver's license or ID, a quick trip to the DMV can make you a registered organ donor. If you are younger than that, let your family know your wishes so they can give consent if anything were to happen to you.Finally, there's one other pesky thing that can stop people from wanting to donate their organs: religion. Again though, both CORE and organdonor.gov report that most major religions view organ donation as either a wonderful and charitable thing or leave it up to the individual.On organdonor.gov, there is an extensive list of religions and their views on organ donation. I am only going to use a few examples from that list. If you're of a faith not addressed below, simply visit the website or talk with the religious leader at your place of worship to clear up any questions you have about your faith and organ donation.Catholicism and Christianity both view organ donation as an act of charity and love. The Vatican considers transplants to be ethically acceptable, while the General Assembly of the Christian Church adopted a resolution in 1985 that encourages "members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) to enroll as organ donors and prayerfully support those who have received an organ transplant."Judaism echoes this, as it sanctions and encourages organ donations to save lives. The Conservative Movement's Committee of Jewish Laws and Standards states that not only is organ donation after death an act of kindness, but it is also a "commanded obligation" to save lives.According to organdonor.gov, as of this writing, 117,110 people are awaiting an organ transplant. Eighteen people die each day waiting for one.But you can help. A single organ donor can save up to eight lives. For more information, visit core.org or organdonor.gov.

3 Days to Healthy Living
Pressed for time? Combine two moves into one. For instance, do a squat with an overhead shoulder press, or a reverse lunge with a bicep curl. This is great for a more intense workout or if you're really crunched for time.
Don't do the same old thing week after week. Cut your chances of boredom and improve results with these six strategies.
If you exercise or engage in any activity that makes you sweat, you need to drink extra water to compensate for the fluid loss. Drink an extra 400 to 600 milliliters of water for short bouts of exercise. During long bouts of intense exercise, it's best to use a sports drink that contains sodium, as this will help replace sodium lost in sweat. Continue to replace fluids after you're finished exercising!
Read up on why you shouldn't use thirst as a guide for how often you should be drinking water.

Im serious about this, im in australia and I am really over living the life that I have been led to believe in.
Being a Monk is the only way I can envisage some form of resistance to the life that many of us have been convinced to live.
But there are some attachments, which I hope I can take with me (at least to begin with).
Can I put my records, and record player in storage, while I am a monk?
Can I bring my dog to the monestary with me?
Can I excersise while being a monk? (im a bit portley at the moment and would like to go for brisk walks with my dog)
Can I maintain my medication while being a monk? (i have been diagnosed with a mental illness)
I have many other questions but these are the crunchers.
