Secret Drugs of Buddhism: Psychedelic Sacraments and the Origins of the Vajrayana
$12.99 – $19.95
2nd Edition
By Michael Crowley
Foreword by Ann Shulgin
Released October 2019.
Secret Drugs of Buddhism is the first book to explore the historical evidence for the use of entheogenic plants within the Buddhist tradition. Drawing on scriptural sources, botany, pharmacology, and religious iconography, this book calls attention to the central role which psychedelics played in Indian religions. It traces their history from the mysterious soma potion, celebrated in the most ancient Hindu scriptures, to amrita, the sacramental drink of Vajrayana Buddhism. Although amrita used in modern Vajrayana ceremonies lacks any psychoactivity, there is copious evidence that the amrita used by the earliest Vajrayana practitioners was a potent entheogen.

1 review for Secret Drugs of Buddhism: Psychedelic Sacraments and the Origins of the Vajrayana
The first book to explore the historical evidence for the use of entheogenic plants within the Buddhist tradition – now expanded and updated in this 2nd edition.
- Presents detailed investigations into the origin of amrita, the Buddhist sacrament, making a strong case that these substances were derived from psychedelic plants
- Explores the intersection of Buddhism, followed by nearly 500 million adherents, and psychedelics and enthoegens, an expanding cultural movement with growing mainstream interest
- The movement to research, understand, and legalize psychedelic substances is well documented and there is a strong market for quality materials for this growing audience
- This new edition has a new chapter on Tibetan plant-based alchemy (bCud-len), a table of all the plant species mentioned in the book, a Tibetan glossary, and two new color plates.
Michael Crowley was born Feb. 26th, 1948 in Cardiff, Wales. He began studying Buddhism with a Tibetan lama in 1966, becoming an upasaka of the Kagyud lineage in 1970. In order to augment his Buddhist studies, he acquainted himself with Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Mandarin Chinese. Mike has lectured at the Museum of Asia and the Pacific, Warsaw, the Jagellonian University, Cracow, The California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work has been published in Fortean Times, Time and Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness, and Culture, Psychedelic American, and Psychedelic Press UK. In January 2016, Mike receved the R. Gordon Wasson Award for outstanding contributions to the field of entheobotany. He currently serves on the advisory board of The Psychedelic Sangha, a group of psychedelically-inclined Buddhists, based in New York and he teaches at the Dharma Collective in San Francisco.

Butembo Beni (Agenzia Fides) - "Why can't we say where they are, who took them? Who kidnapped them and why? For what reasons? Nobody has the right to touch the dignity of a person who God gave us creating us in his image". This is how the Bishop of Butembo Beni, His Exc. Mgr. Melchisedech Sikuli Paluku expressed himself, during the Mass he celebrated on July 16 to remember the two priests of his diocese kidnapped two years ago, Fr. Charles Kipasa and Fr. Jean-Pierre Akilimali. They were taken from the parish of Notre Dame des Anges in Bunyuka, south of the territory of Beni, in northern Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and since then they have never had any news. Expressing his pain, reports the website of the Bishops' Conference of Congo (CENCO), the Bishop asked the faithful to pray so that these two priests and the three assumptionist priests of Mbau are freed from their via crucis.
On the night between Sunday 16 and Monday 17 July 2017, Fr. Jeanne Pierre Akilimali and Fr. Charles Kipasa were kidnapped by strangers at the parish of Notre-Dame des Anges in Bunyuka (see Fides, 18/7/2017). According to CEPADHO, a local NGO for the defense of human rights, the two priests were kidnapped by a dozen armed men who attacked the parish. The criminals also beat some seminarians who served in the parish and stole two cars and two motorcycles used by priests for pastoral ministry.
The kidnapping was immediately condemned by CENCO, which denounced the climate of insecurity in the area and reminded the Congolese authorities of their task of "ensuring the safety of people and their property". CENCO asked the security forces "to do everything to free the two priests from the hands of the kidnappers and to dismantle the criminal network that destabilizes peace in the Beni region".
The Bishops' communiqué also recalled that since October 2012 nothing has been known about the fate of three assumptionist fathers, Jean-Pierre Ndulani, Anselme Wasikundi and Edmond Bamutute, kidnapped in their parish of Notre-Dame des Pauvres in Mbau, 22 km from Beni (see Fides, 22/10/2012).

REINFORCED WORK SOCKS (12 Pack)
- Sizes 9-12 UK EU 43-46
- 60% Cotton, 39%Polyester 1% Elastane
- 12 Pairs Pack FM London® Mens heavy duty work socks
- Specialised manufacturing techniques and a blend of materials that creates heavy duty work socks that are stain resistant, comfortable, highly durable and have insulating properties
- Reinforced heel and toe sections, in contrasting colour
Polly | 28th January: Bought these for my husband as he wears steel toe capped boots. As his previous socks were getting a bit thin in places we had a look on amazon. After looking at a few different makes and types we decided to go for these. Well they arrived promptly and we were not disappointed, they were a good thickness overall and extra on the toes and heels. They feel a good quality sock with cushioned bottoms for warmth and comfort so good i will but somefor my son and son in law as they both wear steel toe caps.
Amazon Customer | 7th February: Fantastic comfortable hard wearing socks. These do not shrink or go stiff in the wash. They are warm and flexible and quite thick. The yellow heels and toes make them easy to pick out of the laundry too.
It would be great to have them in different sizes (one size smaller) in a different shade of heel/toe, for all the family.
Buzz | 16th December: Good mid priced work socks. They are slightly too big but not so much so that you really notice with boots on. They do come with a slight chemically smell but that goes after a few washes. Beware when washing with whites as the colour does run a little. They do shed a bit of fluff as well. Overall a good buy for the price.

Love it: Practicing the art of appreciation
We can train our brains to look for the positive, even in stressful situations. Start by identifying things that fill you with anger, bitterness, envy or judgment. Then find comparative things in your own life that bring you joy or fill you with pride and consider how you have been blessed. It may take a few tries, but even if you fail at first, don't give up. Say thank you for the small things, and mean it.

in 12.3.1, Ops Center keeps count of your assets. Despite the name, the
numbers are not a physical inventory of assets; they are the number
of access points to the assets. An access point is the connection
between the Enterprise Controller and an asset. Often, it's a 1-to-1
relationship, but it is common to have multiple connections between
an asset and the Enterprise Controller. For example, a server will
have an access point for its service processor and one for its
operating system. A logical domain will have an access point for its
control domain and one for its operating system. So what the asset
counter really shows you is how many connections the Enterprise
Controller is handling by type and how many connections each Proxy
Controller is handling by type.
If you are only
interested in a particular type of asset, use the Asset Counter tab
in the Enterprise Controller's dashboard. Go to the Administration section of the navigation pane, then click the Asset Counter tab in the center pane. Let's say you are running a
job that creates logical domains and you only need to check progress.
You could always check the Jobs pane to see to see the job complete, but to
see only each logical domain complete, refresh the Asset Counter tab
and watch the count in the Ldoms column increase.
investigate the access points, or if you wonder whether it's time to
rebalance your Proxy Controllers, call the OCDoctor. Two of the
OCDoctor's options now show the number of access points on the
Enterprise Controller and on each Proxy Controller: the
option and the
option. A new script in OCDoctor,
when you run it with its standard
parameter, gives you the same information as you see in UI's Asset
Counter tab.
/var/opt/sun/xvm/OCDoctor/toolbox/AssetCount.sh standard
To drill
down into the count, run the script with each of its other
and all.
To see each
Proxy Controller:
To see
each Proxy Controller by type of access:
/var/opt/sun/xvm/OCDoctor/toolbox/AssetCount.sh agent
To put the output
together in one long listing,use the all
/var/opt/sun/xvm/OCDoctor/toolbox/AssetCount.sh all
The resulting output for a smallish datacenter, just 72 access points, looks like this:
Proxy Assets Zones Ldoms OVMGuests Servers Storages Switches ExadataCells MSeriesChassis MSeriesD
pc4 32 5 25 0 2 0 0 0 0 0

By the way, if
you're wondering at what point the number of assets affects
performance, don't worry – Ops Center tells you if it's feeling
the strain. When the Enterprise Controller exceeds 2700 access
points, you'll get a Warning incident. At 3000 access points,
you'll get a Critical incident. For a Proxy Controller, you'll get a
Warning when it exceeds 450 access points and a Critical incident
at 500 access points. So there's time and some headroom to make
The Sizing and Performance Guide has more information, and if you want to adjust the number of access points each Proxy Controller is handling, see Rebalancing Assets.

Wow, what a crazy day painting. I was able to wrap up four huge pieces and nearly finish five more today. Whew! A few were gorgeous custom orders, pictures coming soon. The others were special treats for the big "Shop the Barn Boutique" sale.
I am guessing at this rate we will need to double the space we had last year. My boutique is no longer set up to display all my pieces. Currently everything is stacked and crammed in there. I keep painting and calling Brian and the boys to move it out!
Also, I seem to be getting my "Pinterest" fix. I am so blessed to be able to be doing many of the things I have found on Pinterest. You know, the ones you pin and just wish you had a place or a reason to make it? Yep, I get to do that for my sale! We have created, repurposed and recreated and {re}imagined so many things. From old doors, kitchen cabinet doors, sewing boxes, yard sticks, mirror, frames and frames and frame. Did I mention frames??!! Chalkboards, memo frames, jewelry organizers. Pretty things all over the place. Mason jars will have a starring role in the sale too. Many different uses for these gems. I am having so much fun!! I can't wait for you all to see it.
I also wanted to let you know that I updated my "About Me" page. If you are interested you can take a look at that. Maybe you could care less I thought, just in case some one wants to know who the mad scientist is behind the barn wall I would update it.
Speaking of mad scientist, did I mention the fun I am having mixing colors and textures?
Here is one of the pieces that went out today. Isn't it pretty?? Pure white with beautiful hardware!!
Off to bed, dragging my right arm with me.

Is your parent or spouse out of control?
It can feel that way, if you're dealing with Alzheimer's.
Some days, my mom was worse than a room full of toddlers. She would try to "catch a taxi" by sneaking out the front door, stand with the refrigerator door eating jelly with her hands, grab my wrist and beg "Little girl, take me with you," when I needed to leave her room, and sometimes yell or dump everything out of a drawer. Sometimes she was whiney, other times demanding, and yes, there were day when she was downright mean.
I knew it was the Alzheimer's, and I did all I could to keep her safe and watch her carefully, but it was near impossible. At this stage of Alzheimer's (mid to late), the medications don't work as well.
This is the point when many families start seeking a care home for their loved one. I understand why. It's not safe, and caregivers have to consider their own health, their livelihoods, and their relationships and balance all of this on the head of a pin. The guilt, worry, and resentment pile up like too many Autumn leaves.
Keys to Dealing with Difficult Alzheimer's Behavior":
- As hard as it is, separate your emotions. Your loved one isn't meaning to get you upset. Alzheimer's causes changes in the brain. They can't remember or comprehend what you're asking them to do or not do. No matter how mad you get, how much you yell, it won't stop them. They might not even understand what you want of them when you're saying it, and certainly not minutes, hours, or days later. Love your mom, dad, spouse just as they are–and hold in your heart who they've always been to you.
- Get home help. Now is the time you've been waiting for. Your loved one needs close supervision–more than one person can give. Hiring a home health aide is still a cheap(er) alternative to a care facility. Check into agencies who are used to working with those who have Alzheimer's and ask specifically for a more experienced professional.
- Distract and substitute. I wrote a blog at AlzheimersCaregiving.com on how these two techniques can help to calm an agitated loved one. You can't argue with them, but you can distract them–with another object, a person, a song, or substitute their behavior or object with something "shiny" that interests them. Keep a "toy box" of items they like–a stuffed animal or old pocket watch that doesn't work.
- Start checking out some nearby care homes. As much as we love them, want them home with us, sometimes it's just not possible. locked facility (sounds terrible but it's not) can give you the peace of mind to know they're not going to wander. You're still their family, their care advocate, but know that many families feel they have no alternative –for safety and health reasons than to place their loved one in the best care home (locked/long-term care/memory disorder centers) where their needs will be met.
All you can do is face each day as it comes. Rally help around you, use every tactic you can, separate the disease from the person, and know that you might not be able to keep loved one at home for the rest of their lives, but your love, committment, and caregiving advocacy is much needed.

The game season: when is it?
The timing of the game season varies depending on the animals/birds. Traditionally we celebrate the glorious 12th and at this point the bird season kicks off with grouse. These birds are usually fairly expensive and haven't featured much at the Miller. We then move through the season with the addition of lots of other birds. The most popular eating birds tend to be partridge and pheasant. Venison, contrary to popular belief is available all year round, the 4 main species that we eat in this country come in and out through out the year. Pigeon is called a game bird but is also available all year round. The grouse season runs roughly to the end of the calendar year and pheasant and partridge are usually available until the end of January/beginning February.
As a chef which game do you most enjoy cooking?
All UK game is available to us at the Miller through any of our three butchers and our two specialist game suppliers. When considering it for the menu I have to think about the consistency and quality of the shot birds. This can make a big difference to the finished eating product. I would say my favourite ones are partridge and muntjac (small venison).
What's going on in your partridge dish?
This year we served the long legs (claws on) slowly confit, poached breast with honey, chestnut puree, Brussel sprout tops, cep mushrooms and a stout sauce.
Any myths about game that you'd like to quash for us domestic cooks?
More recently (last 10 years say) the day's game is not hung for as long so pungency has certainly reduced, this makes these animals more appealing to us. I think this is down to the way we identify and eat food as well as people's appetites. Having a nice piece of lead shot in your bird is not a bad thing.
What are your recommended accompaniments for various game cuts?
Traditionally most game will stand up to sweet and sour flavours, braised red cabbage for example. The strength of meat does vary from pigeon and venison to delicate partridge and teal. Strong sauces and chocolate can be used with the darker red meat varieties and more care does need to be taken with the whiter meat birds. You can't go wrong with a few game chips to go with anything. I like a bit of bread sauce with my birds too. Venison cuts are similar to lamb and my favourite is probably the saddle (sirloin); this muscle is incredibly tender and can be eaten nice and pink.
What are your tips for buying & cooking with game at home?
Firstly, as with anything, you must go to a trusted supplier. They will advise you on what you think you are looking for. From the right suppliers, game can be really cost effective and cheaper than our tradition meat proteins. Cooking wise you must be careful with the birds especially the breast meat as this can very quickly go dry and tough. I like slow poaching as this really helps with the dryness. At the Miller we salt brine our birds for 2 hours; this helps to retain moisture by setting some of the proteins. Coupled with careful cooking this can make the game birds particularly delicious.

I hope I did OK and that Terry likes my creations. Thanks Bunches for a great kit Terry!!! My second card from Terry's kit will be posted tomorrow, so be sure to check it out.

The tall young woman with sparkling green eyes and long curly copper-red hair stooped gracefully and placed her autumn- colored bridal bouquet on the grave at the base of the tombstone. Five little graves beside hers were testimony to the sorrow and pain of loss as written in the century-old journal held by the young bride. The autumn sun danced through the leaves of red, orange, yellow and gold and on the bent face of the young woman as she whispered, -Thank you grandmother...I wish you could see me and hear me. God does answer prayer..- This fictional account is about trusting God in all situations and allowing Him to direct your ways. Points for reflection or group discussion are at the end of the book.

South West Rocks is midway between Sydney and Brisbane on the beautiful mid- north coast of NSW. The abundance and diversity of marine life found around the islands plus regular twice yearly sightings of humpback whales, is due to South West Rocks being one of the closest points on the coast to the continental shelf, providing warm, clear water from the southward flowing East Australian current, as we as cooler currents from the south. The results is a fascinating combination of marine life.
Winter water temperature rarely drops below 18'C and summer temperatures range from 22 - 26'C
Fish Rock: Probably the best known island of South West Rocks. Names for the sheer numbers and variety of fish found around the rock. Fish Rock also boasts some spectacular seascapes including sheer walls and hidden caves harbouring magnificent growth, giant Queensland gropers, giant cods, schools of pelagic's and cruising whalers.
Large numbers of grey nurse sharks can be sighted here between April and November. The most famous site is 'Fish Rock Cave', one of the largest ocean caverns in the southern hemisphere; 120metres right through the island.
Anemone, anemone fish, giant cuttle fish, turtles, banded coral shrimp, blue grouper, hundreds of painted crayfish, slipper cray's, butterflyfish, anglefish, black cod, live cowry shells, large lionfish, nudibranchs, moray eels, zooanthids, large black coral trees... a diver's paradise!

158-DuoTangle using Diva Dance and Crescent Moon
To be honest I really don't like this one at all. I'm not a fan of Diva Dance, and didn't feel that the two tangles worked together all that well. That's the point of a challenge though right? Step out of my comfort zone?
I finally used some dots to kind of "unify it" and it's better now, and the shading helped a lot, but it will never be a favorite.

Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Thoughtfulness, gentleness, warmth, and compassion are words that are associated with kindness. Today we want you to celebrate kindness and compassion. Here are a few things you can do.
1. Compliment Someone
Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone's entire day.
2. Offer to Pay for Someone
Waiting in line at your favorite place? Try paying for the person behind you or ask a coworker if they would like anything when you get something for yourself. You never know who might need the help and this small gesture can turn someone's day around.
3. Pick Up Litter
Today more than ever our planet needs our help. If you see trash on the sidewalk, pick it up and toss it in the bin. Give yourself bonus points if you end up recycling any litter you pick up. This is a great way to help your community and you can possibly inspire someone else passing by to do the same thing.
4. Be a Considerate Driver
The next time you see someone with their blinker on, slow down and let them get in front of you. It's such a small gesture yet it's an act of kindness that can affect many drivers on the road by preventing traffic or an accident.
5. Be Courteous to Your Server
Greet them with a friendly smile. Try to respect their time and don't make a mess. Go out of your way to clean up after yourself and thank them for their service. A generous tip can make someone's day.
6. Make a Donation
Donations are always appreciated and there are many places that accept donations that truly help those in need. Ask a friend, a local homeless shelter or school if they know of any local places that need the help. Only donate items that are in good condition and remember to pick charities you trust.
Learn more:
Paying it forward never goes out of style and there are many things we can do to show compassion. We urge you to get creative and think of new ways to spread kindness throughout your community. Now get out there and spread the love. Happy National Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Looking for an 8-inch tablet that your child can use? The first thing that popped in your head is probably the Apple iPad Mini. While the iPad Mini is undeniably great (it's one of our best tablets for 2019) it does come with a hefty price tag. For something far more affordable that won't make you weep, check out the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
This ultra-portable tablet is relatively modestly priced for a Samsung product yet is a genuine bang for your buck. Get it for a huge 51% less on Amazon. For just $148 instead of $300, you can let your little one watch animated films on it so you can focus on other stuff.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is slim, light, and looks a little cheap. While the build quality seems solid enough, it doesn't scream high-end. Its frame is made of plastic and it has an aluminum back panel that feels slightly slippery. It also annoyingly collects a lot of fingerprints. Honestly, we like the smaller Galaxy Tab A 7.0 more with its grippier rubbery back. Still, the tablet is pleasantly compact and light, and your kid won't be having any problems holding it even with just one hand.
Its front looks exactly like most Samsung tablets, with the physical home button found on the center underneath the screen. The 8-inch display has a 1,280 x 800-pixel resolution that looks good despite a much lower pixel density for a tablet of this price range. It has an 8-megapixel camera on the back that can record high-definition videos (but not 4K), and the 5-megapixel front-facing camera is perfect for taking selfies.
On the top-right edge, you'll find the power button and volume control buttons, while on the bottom edge are the USB Type C charging port (very nice for a budget tablet) and the speaker right next to it. A 3.5mm audio jack is on the top edge and a microSD card slot is on the left side.
Underneath the hood, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. The tablet's performance is pretty good. It handled multiple tabs open on the browser quite well and apps ran smoothly for the most part. Some games were a little glitchy, but not enough to be frustrating.
During our battery test, the tablet managed to last over 12 hours while running an HD video on a continuous loop, which is very good considering the price. When used intermittently, the tablet lasted a terrific 52 hours. It's also worth noting that the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 doesn't lose any juice when the screen remains inactive.
The Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is overall an above-average budget tablet. Its build quality is good enough, the display is nice and bright, it runs apps smoothly, and it can last for a very long time. Snag one for your kid for $150 less on Amazon.

I like to hop around. I'm a tadpole when I'm young. I am green and I croak. And catch flies with my long tongue.
First in the form of eggs, frogs spend weeks as tadpoles before becoming a full frog.
By: Stella Alexander
6 Min Quiz
He calls in the morning, the day to renew. If his owner get hungry, he'll be turned to stew. What is he? If you answered rooster, you're ready for this quiz! Forget everything about the man going to St. Ives. Rather than classic riddles, we're here to test if you can think outside the box when it comes to animals!
In both history and fiction, riddles seem to be quite a dramatic question. One might be faced with a sphinx as they try to come up with an answer. Others are trying to make it over the bridge and past the troll. While these questions might seem difficult at first, once you get one answer, it opens up your mind to thinking outside the box.
It's easy to recall that while penguins and zebras are only ever black and white, animals like dogs, bears, and birds can vary in color. Colors might help you for some, but others will cause you to think outside the norm. What do they eat? How do they act? It rows quickly with four oars but never comes out from under his own roof. What is it? Answer: A turtle. Are you getting it now? Let's find out! Challenge your friends and let's see who's more in touch with animals!
First in the form of eggs, frogs spend weeks as tadpoles before becoming a full frog.
There would be 10 fish left because fish can't drown, and even if they did, they're still in the bowl.
Nutkin was a squirrel from the 1903 children's book by Beatrix Potter. Squirrels are also known for collecting nuts.
Called a moose in North America or an elk is Europe and Asia, a moose is a species in the deer family.
A kitten is a baby cat and cats are said to have nine lives.
The lion is considered the king of the jungle. By looking at the letters of the words in the riddle, it would spell out lion.

Washington D.C. Plane Forced to Land After Passenger Charges Cockpit
Airlines & Airports United Airlines Donald Wood March 17, 2015
Shortly after takeoff on Tuesday, United Airlines flight 1074 from Washington D.C. to Denver was forced to turn around after a man charged toward the cockpit and was detained by quick-thinking passengers.
According to Katherine Faulders of ABC News, the plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Dulles International Airport when pilots aboard the flight reported a passenger had become violent.
One of the pilots told air traffic controllers, per LiveATC.net (h/t ABC News), "He ran forward towards the cockpit and he is being restrained by passengers. Cockpit is secure and we would like to return to the airport and have the authorities meet him."
According to Tara Fowler of People.com, "the incident was first reported on Reddit as a failed hijacking." People.com reported that the video below is from the incident:
In the report from Faulders, one of the passengers on flight 1074 spoke about the men who took down the violent passenger before he made his way to the cockpit:
"One held his feet and the other one kind of laid on top of him and then the flight attendants went and got some plastic restraints for his arms. At one point when his head was down he said there were jihadists in the cargo hold and he did say jihad a couple times."
In a statement from United Airlines, via ABC News, it was reported that law enforcement officers were waiting in Washington for the man and immediately took him into custody. He was later taken to the hospital for evaluation.
United Airlines told Faulders it planned to get the remaining passengers to their destination Tuesday.

"in Flanders Fields": The Montreal Canadiens
"To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high": This motto comes from the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae, written in 1915 – one year before the Montreal Canadiens won their first Stanley Cup championship. The motto appears on the wall of the Canadiens locker room as well as in numerous fan articles and jerseys of the record holder of Stanley Cup successes. Our Montreal Canadiens bracelet is completely without the motto.
While fans can only wear their Canadiens jersey when visiting the ice rink or in selected situations, the jersey bracelet is the everyday alternative for every occasion: Wear your Montreal Canadiens bracelet always and everywhere and make it clear to everyone that your heart beats for the hockey team from the French-speaking part of Canada.
Officially licensed by the NHL, the bracelet is made of durable SuperSoft Silicone and comes in your team's style. In addition to the team name, your Montreal Canadiens bracelet in the classic colors red, white & blue also adorns the striking team logo.
Your Montreal Canadiens bracelet will be refined with the freely selectable jersey number on the unbreakable magnetic closure in 3D haptics. The high-quality and practical closure forms the stage for your jersey number. Which number adorns your Montreal Canadiens bracelet is entirely up to you. Either you choose your own jersey number or you dial the number of your favorite player: Brendan Gallagher #11, Alex Galchenyuk #17, Jonathan Drouin #92 – we got them all!

The A to Z of Sikhism
Scarecrow Press, Jul 24, 2009 - Religion - 330 pages
Contrary to popular opinion, there is more to Sikhism than the distinctive dress. First of all, there is the emergence of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, and the long line of his successors. There are the precepts, many related to liberation through the divine name or nam. There is a particularly turbulent history in which the Sikhs have fought to affirm their beliefs and resist external domination that continues to this day. There is also, more recently, the dispersion from the Punjab throughout the rest of India and on to Europe and the Americas. With this emigration Sikhism has become considerably less exotic, but hardly better known to outsiders. This reference is an excellent place to learn more about the religion. It provides a chronology of events, a brief introduction that gives a general overview of the religion, and a dictionary with several hundred entries, which present the gurus and other leaders, trace the rather complex history, expound some of the precepts and concepts, describe many of the rites and rituals, and explain the meaning of numerous related expressions. All this, along with a bibliography, provides readers with an informative and accessible guide toward understanding Sikhism.

By Michael Mulvey – The highly anticipated middleweight rematch between Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (38 – 0 – 1, 34 KO), and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (49 – 1 – 2, 34 KO) on September 15, 2018, is rapidly approaching.
The IBF, WBC and WBA World Middleweight Titles are on the line in this fight, with the victor likely to subsequently face the winner of the WBO World Middleweight Title match-up on October 20, 2018, between Britain's undefeated Billy Joe Saunders and undefeated American, Demetrius 'boo boo' Andrade. This potential unification clash is the chance for the fighters to claim ultimate supremacy in the middleweight division worldwide.
Canelo has competed in fifty-two professional fights, with forty-nine victories, two draws and his only loss coming to one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September 2013.
The 28-year old Mexican fighter turned professional in 2005 at the tender age of 15, after forty-six amateur contests, in which he lost only twice.
Despite being the younger fighter in the clash with Golovkin, Canelo is the more experienced in the professional ranks; due to turning over at such a young age, he has accumulated vast amounts of experience throughout his professional journey since 2005.
On the other hand, Golovkin – Triple G – has competed in thirty-nine fights as a professional, maintaining an undefeated record, with thirty-eight victories, including thirty-four knockouts, and only one draw. The draw came after the first encounter with Canelo on September 16, 2017 which caused controversy and debate amongst fight fans and the general public.
The 36-year old fighter from Kazakstan also previously competed in 350 amateur contests before he embarked on his professional journey.
The first fight between Canelo and Golovkin ended in a controversial draw that has been debated ever since. It was a close, mostly cagey affair that was very difficult to score and could have arguably gone either way depending on what you like to score.
Triple G pressured Canelo from the outset in round one, cutting the ring off and trying to back Canelo up against the ropes throughout. Conversely, Canelo tried to box on the back-foot, trying to pick Golovkin off as he progresses. Canelo wanted to avoid exchanging with Golovkin, especially close up 'inside', as he knew that would favour and play into Golovkin's game plan.
Golovkin has shown he is undoubtedly one of the best in terms of chin durability in the game; he has never been stopped, knocked down or rarely even shown any slight signs of trouble throughout career, amateur or professional.
Canelo has clearly shown he is heavy-handed throughout his career, with thirty-four knockouts to his name, including recent devastating knockouts over the likes of American, James Kirkland (May 9, 2015) and Britain's, Amir Khan (May 7, 2016).
Despite Canelo's proven power, it must be considered that Canelo landed his heaviest shots on Golovkin in their first fight; the same powerful right hand that knocked Kirkland and Khan into unconsciousness, conversely caused no trouble to Golovkin. Triple G continued the fight untroubled, showing no emotion as he was clearly unfazed by Canelo's power.
"In the last fight I did not feel any real power from Canelo. Just slaps. He is not the hardest puncher I have fought," said Golovkin.
Therefore, the claims Canelo has made to knock out Golovkin in the build-up to the rematch are difficult for fight fans to genuinely believe, as the past suggests Canelo has a limited chance of defeating his counterpart Golovkin by knockout.
"I know that I can hurt him. I hurt him in the first fight, and I'm going to hurt him even more in the second fight. My objective is the knockout and I'll be looking for that from the opening round," claimed Canelo.
There has been heightened animosity between the pair since Canelo failed two drug tests, which delayed the rematch between the pair. Canelo was banned for six months, claiming he ate contaminated meat in Mexico that jeopardised the test results. Nevertheless, Canelo has lost significant support and respect worldwide amongst boxing fans, as many now categorise him as a cheat, including Golovkin himself:
"Canelo, he is not a champion. He is a liar who has no respect for the sport of boxing or its fans," Golovkin said.
Ultimate Prediction:
The two fighters look in a tremendous condition in the build-up to the fight, with both clearly leaving no stone unturned, as would be expected. Taking all arguments into consideration, the most logical conclusion to this contest seems to be a Canelo points victory, or alternatively a stoppage victory in favour of Gennady Golovkin.
On one hand, I think Canelo has a worthy chance of winning the clash if he keeps the fight on the 'outside', out-boxing and out-manoeuvring Triple G. But, if Canelo gets drawn into a close-up 'inside' fight, I can only see one winner; Golovkin.
I think this will be the case. Golovkin will begin the contest at a high pace, maintain relentless, educated pressure on Canelo and subsequently wear him down, down the stretch of the twelve-rounds. He will force Canelo to exchange at close quarters and 'fight' when he wants to rest.
Therefore, I believe Gennady Golovkin will force a late stoppage with the referee calling off the contest during the 'championship-rounds'.
Regardless of the winner, if Canelo is a man of his word and searches for the stoppage from the outset, I am sure we are guaranteed a big drama show, as Golovkin proclaims.
Triple G, at thirty-six years of age, is aware that he is at the tail-end of his boxing career, approaching his final few fights. I see him leaving absolutely everything in the ring, with the mindset of winning by stoppage being essential, to prevent leaving the decision in the hands of the judges. He will undoubtedly have left nothing to chance in training and will leave nothing to chance in the ring against Canelo.
A Gennady Golovkin victory would inevitably set up an ultimate unification 'big drama show' against the winner of Billy Joe Saunders and Demetrius Andrade; the final decider to determine who the best global middleweight definitely is.
But as with any contest at any level, it must be remembered that fights are not won on paper. People and fight fans across the world will have varying opinions on the outcome of this contest, but ultimately all predictions are irrelevant. The deciding factor is which fighter successfully puts all of the collective effort and experiences from throughout their careers into action, to perform better in the thirty-six minutes of the fight. So, until the final bell on fight night, all we can do is speculate.

Today in NBA History – Aug 26
2004 – Stephon Marbury scores 31 points in a game against Spain at the Athens Olympics. At the time, Marbury's 31 points was a Team USA Olympic-record, this was passed by Carmelo Anthony's 37 points against Nigeria in 2012 at the London Olympics.
Game 3 Recap – USA defeats Nigeria 156–73
August 2 / Day 5 of the 2012 London Olympics.
The obvious storyline from this game was Carmelo Anthony shooting 10 of 12 three pointers in FOURTEEN minutes of court time. Not to mention the list of Olympic Records and US Olympic Records that were shattered in this game. Here is a list of those records:
- Points scored in one game – 156 (previously 138 by Brazil in 1988 against Egypt)
- Points scored in the first half – 78 points
- Margin of Victory – 83 (previously 79 by USA in 1992 against Cuba)
- US Olympic Records Broken:
- Points scored by one player – 37 by Carmelo Anthony (previously Stephon Marbury with 31 against Spain in 2004)
- 3 Pointers made – 26
- Field Goals made – 59
- Field Goal percentage – 71%
Again, the Americans had a high volume of made shots coming off an assist – 59 baskets on 41 assists for a 69% assist to field goal ratio. There's not much more to say after a game like this, but here is what Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and Mike "Coach K" Krzyzewski:
Carmelo – "It's a great accomplishment to get that record. We did it in a very highly classy way. We went out there and we played basketball. We made shots. We make shots like that and play the way we played tonight, that record could have came on any team." "It was just one of them nights where as a unit we had it going. It could have been anybody out on the court playing against us."
Kobe – "When we get hot, it's a big problem. So you have all these guys on one team and then all get hot on the same night, it's tough."
Coach K – "Well, obviously, we just shot better than any team in a game that I have ever coached. Our guys just couldn't miss tonight, and they shared the ball. We had 41 assists. When you hit 29 threes, it's very difficult to lose in a game like that."
Team USA – Olympic 2012 performance through games 1 and 2
Through the first two games so far, the American basketball team has beaten France and Tunisia by an average of 37 points. Below is some information on their performance in those games.

Jeremy Lin leaving New York?
The New York Knicks are apparently letting restricted free agent Jeremy Lin walk to the Houston Rockets after his incredible breakout season.
Sources have stated that it was purely a business decision to let him leave – the contract Houston offered will pay Lin $14.8 million in 2014-15 (his third season). In the 2014-15 season, the Knicks already have $23.4 million owing to Amar'e Stoudemire, $23.5 million owing to Carmelo Anthony as well as $14.6 million owing to Tyson Chandler.
According to the latest CBA salary tax rules, the Knicks would face over $28 million in tax in the 2014-15 season by having all 4 players on their roster.
