Hopes fade for victims of Zonguldak coal mine blast

Intensive rescue efforts failed to deliver the desired outcome yesterday for 30 workers trapped since Monday in a coal mine in the northwestern province of Zonguldak.

Rescue efforts are expected to continue for another three days, but time is running out for the 30 workers who are buried 540 meters below ground inside the mine.

What a tragic situation!  I only heard about this today, and am amazed nothing has been mentioned here. We really need to find renewable, and more earth friendly fuels.

May Allah have mercy on the souls of those miners, and may the suffering of their famlies be eased.

Me....have a point???? Amazing....I realize you have that unique Texan sense of humor...which escapes me....being of a different temperment....but I do respect your right to your thoughts and expressions, as long as they don´t impinge on those of others. ....like copyrite....

BTW congratulations on your new position....it´s a lot of thankless work....have fun....

At least one of the photographs Elisabeth has posted is by Irving Penn, who just passed away not even a year ago, thus under the laws of copyrite, it is still under copyrite protection.

Not bad....but not exactly correct either....

"The warrior ideal is a central metaphor in Buddhism. Although it is not recognized now in the west, the warrior ideal and the influence of warrior culture has been central to the practice tradition at the heart of Buddhist doctrine. The loss of this understanding here and now is due in part to the cultural prejudice of the westerners who were first attracted to Buddhism. As western practitioners have matured they have rediscovered this dimension of practice."

Quite frankly, I would rather such things not be in my head at all.  We all know the world is full of ugly things, but who wants to focus on them? Is the glass half empty or is it half full?
