<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>No embroidery on the Yoka bear.  Even with his appendages removed, his body is still too small to handle even a tiny needle.  The plan now is to turn him into a gryphon.  He will get polymer clay claws and a beak, and otherwise be covered with small felt &#8220;feathers.&#8221;  On Friday I ordered a hole punch that makes teardrop shapes and works on felt.  Hopefully it will arrive in time.  These are probably not the colors I will use, but this is the general idea:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sorry my posts have been so sporadic lately.  In addition to prepping for holiday sales, I&#8217;ve got two art shows coming up in November that I haven&#8217;t finished the work for yet.  I&#8217;m working with sort of childhood theme&#8211;lots of bright colors and repetitive geometry&#8211;and I&#8217;ve done a couple of studies, but no finished pieces yet.</p>
<p>The first piece I&#8217;m working on is a custom <a title="adfunture yoka" href="http://www.adfuntureworkshop.com/products_pinpai_class.php?pinpai_id=12" target="_blank">Yoka</a> vinyl toy for a show at <a title="designercon" href="http://www.vinyltoynetwork.com/faq.htm" target="_blank">DesignerCon</a> on November 21st.  A Yoka is a cute, jointed, vinyl toy bear.  Mine is only 3&#8243; high.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-688" title="yokafront" src="http://bizmiss.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/yokafront.jpg" alt="yokafront" width="567" height="429" /></p>
<p>I was kind of surprised at how many people have made custom-decorated Yokas.  Check out this one by <a title="phu" href="http://www.phuek.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Phu</a>!  This is a 10&#8243; but he&#8217;s also got a 3&#8243; in the DC show.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.toycyte.com/phus-avatar-7"><img class="aligncenter" title="phu custom yoka" src="http://www.toycyte.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/avatar7.jpg" alt="" width="358" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>With such high-caliber work to contend with, I want to make sure my Yoka isn&#8217;t jankity and represents my strengths/style as an artist.  My first thought, of course was to make a plush Yoka, but <a title="alisa ross" href="http://web.mac.com/scribeone/iWeb/Site/Alisa%20Ross%20Plush%20Art.html" target="_blank">Alisa Ross</a> already did that.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.cardboardspaceshiptoys.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&#38;cPath=7&#38;products_id=626"><img class="aligncenter" title="alisa ross custom yoka" src="http://www.cardboardspaceshiptoys.com/shop/images/alisa%5B1%5D.jpeg" alt="" width="506" height="819" /></a></p>
<p>Then I thought I would put silk pins into it and wrap the pins with colored string, like the string art projects I did in summer camp.  I pictured a delicate, multi-colored scaffolding that was same shape as the bear, but floating about a centimeter off its body.  You&#8217;d just <em>barely</em> be able to see the white toy underneath through its gossamer shell. But when I actually tried this on a little foam model, the threads all slid down to the bear&#8217;s body and he just ended up looking like a coloring-book version of Hellraiser.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-689" title="yokastringstudy" src="http://bizmiss.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/yokastringstudy.jpg" alt="yokastringstudy" width="708" height="452" /></p>
<p>I thought about trying to hold them up with those tiny orthodontic rubber bands but that&#8217;s just too bulky for such a small toy.  Now I think I&#8217;ll just embroider the designs directly onto the toy.  Not as cool as a floating rainbow exoskeleton, but still pretty sweet.</p>
<p>The other project I&#8217;m working on is a set of mandalas for <a title="lab gallery san francisco" href="http://www.thelab.org/" target="_blank">The Lab&#8217;s</a> Postcard Art Show Dec. 4-6.  They&#8217;re small pieces (about 6&#8243; squares) and made with sticker shapes I drew.  Here are some of the stickers.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-691" title="stickers" src="http://bizmiss.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/stickers.jpg" alt="stickers" width="700" height="551" /></p>
<p>Ideally I&#8217;d make the whole mandala set with stickers I drew myself but that&#8217;s a lot of time spent cutting tiny shapes and I don&#8217;t have much time these days.  Depending on how quickly the first few go, I will either make them with a combination of my own stickers and stickers I&#8217;ve bought (of the Mrs. Grossman&#8217;s ilk), or I will just make digital prints of the mandala patterns I&#8217;ve mocked up in Illustrator.  Here&#8217;s one from yesterday:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-690" title="mandalatest" src="http://bizmiss.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mandalatest.jpg" alt="mandalatest" width="614" height="613" /></p>
<p>Apologies in advance if my posts are widely spaced until the holidays.  Wish me luck!</p>

<p>YOKA x EDDI</p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;">每一年的台北國際玩具創作大展都受到全世界玩具業者以及玩具迷們重 大的注目. 而提到”玩具”兩字又豈可忽略adfunture這間替藤原浩訂做公仔的知名公司. 當然, 這次adfunture也為了玩具迷們準備了相當大的驚喜, 那就是於這一屆2009台北國際玩具創作大展中首度曝光的YOKA Series. 而針對此系列, OVERDOPE.COM 也帶來了深度的獨家報導.</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>以下訪談OVERDOPE代表為鐵猴, adfunture為Eddi, WRONGWROKS為Tony. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090713232110_1_.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>鐵猴：</strong></span><br />
想先請問一下Eddi, 這個於會展中首次批露的YOKA Series 是約從何時開始準備的?<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Eddi：</strong></span><br />
大約進一年的時間, 於去年年底(2008) 時給了許多合作廠商包括Tony 這隻YOKA 的原型以供設計, 之後陸陸續續都花了近一年的時間改良之後才願意將最好的一面呈現給支持我們的消費者.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Tony：</strong></span><br />
而這隻YOKA公仔其實也算是我跟Eddi合作的第二部曲, 先前是先製作了類似鴨子般的公仔並套用上了米奇老鼠的元素, 我很喜歡米奇老鼠, 所以我把他的顏色以及一般人較想不的到手部造型套用到這隻鴨子般公仔的臉上, 出來的效果也出奇不意般的頗受歡迎.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"> </span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090713232110_3_.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>我們看到這次YOKA Series 1 中有許多不同的品牌提供了十分精美的設計, 我甚至看到了Kid Robot 的主理人Huck Gee, 紐約街牌Mishka, 以及台灣設計團隊Filter017 和台灣品牌Mania 等都在其中, 而當我第一眼看到有台灣單位在此系列之中時更是相當的興奮. 但是口否請Tony 談談這次設計這隻YOKA 的概念來由?<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>我當初拿到這隻公仔的原型時就覺得他十分的像熊貓, 於是就由熊貓的方向去做設計. 而它身上穿的衣服以及配色也都沿襲了先前幫Eddi 製作的那隻鴨子的精神, 也就是說這隻YOKA 依舊帶著點米奇老鼠的影子. 然而臉部也許不像, 但是在衣服上卻可直接令人聯想到米奇老鼠的服裝. 而我也覺得為什麼這衣服非得米奇穿不可呢? 我就嘗試著套用在YOKA 的身上.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span> </strong><br />
我對於Tony 的設計想法當然十分贊同, 另外也相當的驚艷. 而值得一提的是, Tony 是唯一在此系列中有做到巨型尺寸的YOKA, 其他人可都沒有喔! (請參考上圖Tony 手捧著的YOKA 公仔)<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>哈哈, 是他給我面子, 當初他跟我講的時候我還以為我是最後一個被通知要做大型尺寸YOKA的人, 真是驚喜(笑).</span></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090713232110_2_.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>在這個YOKA的包裝上可以看到背面詳細的寫著各合作廠商的YOKA公仔, 而竟然是Series 1就代表著會有2跟3的陸續推出. 那麼YOKA系列將會定期的於每年的某個時間與大家見面嗎?<br />
<strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span><br />
</strong>不一定, 這真的不一定. 我們在製造公仔的過程中都會認識一些朋友, 而這可能是我們製作公仔的靈感來源. 而我們也不想訂個期限感覺像是趕工出來為了交差而產生的公仔. 另外你現在手上拿的包裝是這次玩具展才有的限定包裝, 爾後若想入手YOKA則要以盒裝的方式抽抽看試試手氣, 類似Be@rbrick的方式一樣. 而總共有13款普版以及5款隱藏版, 豐富的程度絕對令人滿意.<strong><br />
</strong></span></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090714002155_0_.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="362" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>那既然Eddi對Tony的設計這麼捧場, 還特地的推出一款巨型的YOKA來力挺, 不知道Tony有沒有什麼特別的週邊單品要推出? 像是短Tee或者帽子等, 可以讓消費者一併收藏.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>有有有(驚訝狀, 感覺被看穿), 本來也是要在會展中販售, 但後來決定之後才賣.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>我想這是個相當紀念性的公仔, 不單單因為它的尺寸, 更是YOKA 的第一波系列, 如果在加上週邊商品將會更有收藏價值. 不知道是否會跟著公仔做成一個組合發售?<br />
<strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span><br />
</strong>的確是這樣子, 而我也十分開心Tony所謂我們帶來的設計可以結合這款紀念性的公仔. 而做成組合發售則尚未確定, 但都是有可能的.</span> <strong><span style="color:#993300;"><br />
</span></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090713232110_3_.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>我們看到這次YOKA Series 1 中有許多不同的品牌提供了十分精美的設計, 我甚至看到了Kid Robot 的主理人Huck Gee, 紐約街牌Mishka, 以及台灣設計團隊Filter017 和台灣品牌Mania 等都在其中, 而當我第一眼看到有台灣單位在此系列之中時更是相當的興奮. 但是口否請Tony 談談這次設計這隻YOKA 的概念來由?<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>我當初拿到這隻公仔的原型時就覺得他十分的像熊貓, 於是就由熊貓的方向去做設計. 而它身上穿的衣服以及配色也都沿襲了先前幫Eddi 製作的那隻鴨子的精神, 也就是說這隻YOKA 依舊帶著點米奇老鼠的影子. 然而臉部也許不像, 但是在衣服上卻可直接令人聯想到米奇老鼠的服裝. 而我也覺得為什麼這衣服非得米奇穿不可呢? 我就嘗試著套用在YOKA 的身上.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span> </strong><br />
我對於Tony 的設計想法當然十分贊同, 另外也相當的驚艷. 而值得一提的是, Tony 是唯一在此系列中有做到巨型尺寸的YOKA, 其他人可都沒有喔! (請參考上圖Tony 手捧著的YOKA 公仔)<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>哈哈, 是他給我面子, 當初他跟我講的時候我還以為我是最後一個被通知要做大型尺寸YOKA的人, 真是驚喜(笑).</span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090713232110_2_.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>在這個YOKA的包裝上可以看到背面詳細的寫著各合作廠商的YOKA公仔, 而竟然是Series 1就代表著會有2跟3的陸續推出. 那麼YOKA系列將會定期的於每年的某個時間與大家見面嗎?<br />
<strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span><br />
</strong>不一定, 這真的不一定. 我們在製造公仔的過程中都會認識一些朋友, 而這可能是我們製作公仔的靈感來源. 而我們也不想訂個期限感覺像是趕工出來為了交差而產生的公仔. 另外你現在手上拿的包裝是這次玩具展才有的限定包裝, 爾後若想入手YOKA則要以盒裝的方式抽抽看試試手氣, 類似Be@rbrick的方式一樣. 而總共有13款普版以及5款隱藏版, 豐富的程度絕對令人滿意.<strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.overdope.com/upload/20090714002155_0_.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><br />
<span style="color:#993300;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>那既然Eddi對Tony的設計這麼捧場, 還特地的推出一款巨型的YOKA來力挺, 不知道Tony有沒有什麼特別的週邊單品要推出? 像是短Tee或者帽子等, 可以讓消費者一併收藏.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tony：</span><br />
</strong>有有有(驚訝狀, 感覺被看穿), 本來也是要在會展中販售, 但後來決定之後才賣.<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">鐵猴：</span><br />
</strong>我想這是個相當紀念性的公仔, 不單單因為它的尺寸, 更是YOKA 的第一波系列, 如果在加上週邊商品將會更有收藏價值. 不知道是否會跟著公仔做成一個組合發售?<br />
<strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eddi：</span><br />
</strong>的確是這樣子, 而我也十分開心Tony所謂我們帶來的設計可以結合這款紀念性的公仔. 而做成組合發售則尚未確定, 但都是有可能的.</span> <strong><span style="color:#993300;"><br />

<p>เนื่องด้วยเจ็บนิ้วหัวแม่โป้ง รักษาด้วยการฉีดยาตรงนิ้วห้วแม่มือมาสองครั้งแล้ว ถ้าฉีดเป็นครั้งที่สามเมื่อไหร่<br />
หมอบอกว่า ต้องผ่าตัด<br />
ไม่อยากผ่าเลยค่ะ รู้สึกว่า เวลาโดนผ่าแล้ว นิ้วมันจะไม่เหมือนเดิม<br />
ก็เลยหันมาใช้ทางเลือกอื่น<br />
พอดีมาก มาก ที่ทางโรงพยาบาลปายมีหมอหนุ่มซึ่งเป็นผู้อำนวยการ สามารถรักษาคนไข้ด้วยวิธีการฝังเข็มด้วย<br />
เราก็เลยได้เข้าคอร์ทฝังเข็มเป็นเวลา 10 อาทิตย์ ทุกวันพุธ<br />
ก็ดีขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ<br />
เลยให้คุณหมอฝังรักษาอาการเจ็บไหล่ สบัก และตรงหน้าอกให้ด้วย<br />
โอบร๊ะเจ้า ฝังไป 4 อาทิตย์ ไหล่ อกหายเจ็บ แต่ตรงนิ้วอะดิ ยังไม่หาย<br />
ก็พอดี๊ พอดี ทางโรงบาลเค้ามีการฝึกโยคะทุกวันจันทร์ถึงศุกร์<br />
ของฟรีแบบนี้ เจ็ก็เลยไม่พลาด พยามไปให้ได้ทุกวัน<br />
ถ้าไม่ฝนตกหนัก หรือมีเรื่องด่วนอะไร ก็ไปฝึกให้ได้<br />
คนที่ปายน่ารักทุกคนเลยค่ะ<br />
ตั้งใจฝึก มีทั้งสาว ๆ ป้า ๆ อ้วน พุงโต คุณหมอ พยาบาล แม่บ้าน แม่ค้า ข้าราชการ ก็มาฝึกกันด้วยรอยยิ้ม<br />
ทุกคนให้กำลังใจกัน ฝึก ๆ ไปก็รู้จักกันหมดค่ะ<br />
ได้เหงื่อ และได้ออกกำลังกายทุกส่วน และก็ไม่น่าเชื่อว่า ทุกวันเราจะทำดีขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ มันจะพบเคล็ดลับในการทำท่าให้ดีขึ้นได้ทุกวัน วันละนิดก็ชื่นใจแล้ว<br />
และที่เห็น ทุกคนตั้งใจทำ จากวันแรกที่แค่ก้มหัวให้ถึงเข่า ยังยากและเจ็บมาก จนทุกคนแม้กระทั่งคุณป้าที่ดูไม่น่าจะทำได้ก็ทำได้<br />
วันแรกไม่สามารถเล่นท่าเรือใบได้ วันต่อมาก็ทำได้ และตั้งท่าได้นานขึ้น<br />
มันเห็นถึงความอึดของเรา ว่า เรายังมีไฟอยู่เว้ย สู้ ๆ<br />
ฝึกโยคะมาได้ 1 อาทิตย์แล้ว รู้สึกร่างกายกระปรี้กระเปร่า สดชื่น มีแรง ไม่เหนื่อยง่าย ความดันก็ดีขึ้น<br />
เพราะก่อนหน้านี้ ความดันต่ำค่ะ<br />
ลองเช็คดูปรากฎว่า ความดัน 100/70 ซึ่งถือว่าเป็นปกติดีแล้ว<br />
แล้วน้ำหนักก็ลดลง 1 กิโล จาก 55 เป็น 54 กิโลกรัม<br />
ว่าแล้ววันนี้ก็ว่าจะไปฉลองที่บาร์ชานนท์ซะหน่อย<br />
ไปอัพดูดข่าวคราวของเมืองปายซะหน่อย</p>
<p>ลิ้งคสำหรับคนที่ชอบโยคะ ฝึกเองที่บ้านก่อนได้ค่ะ จะได้มีพื้นฐานบ้าง<a href="http://www.localhealers.com/" target="_blank">http://www.localhealers.com/</a></p>
<p>บล็อคเพื่อนชื่อหนิง อยู่ที่ภูเก็ตค่ะ</p>

<description><![CDATA[E pra fechar o Carnaval gordo com chave de ouro, fomos ao Yoka. Arnaldo e eu estávamos tão empolgado]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>E pra fechar o Carnaval gordo com chave de ouro, fomos ao <strong><a title="Yoka" href="http://www.yoka.com.br/" target="_blank">Yoka</a></strong>. Arnaldo e eu estávamos tão empolgados em comer o pastel de lá, que fomos de Cotia à Liberdade competindo pra quem sabia mais palavras que rimavam com <strong>Yoka</strong>. Sim, a gente é besta.<br />
Bom, depois de mta paçoca, mandioca, pipoca, fofoca, chegamos ao lugar. Simples, feio, apertadinho, cheio. Comecei com um de palmito (R$ 2,80) e Arnaldo (acho que empolgado com nossa visita à <a title="Um dia na capital nacional da linguiça!" href="http://tocomfome.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/um-dia-na-capital-nacional-da-linguica/" target="_blank">Bragança</a>) foi de calabresa com catupiry (R$ 4,00).<br />
Pois bem. O pastel de calabresa chegou perfeito à mesa. Lindo, sequinho, cheio de recheio. O meu apareceu pingando de óleo, de formar poça no prato. Nunca tinha visto aquilo em pastel de feira, imagina em pastel “de marca”! Fiquei triste, meio decepcionada.<br />
Pedimos pra trocar. Esperei um pouquinho e eis que ele chega, sequinho, leve, crocante e incrível! O saquinho de papel em que ele vem fica praticamente intacto! Não sei qual é a mágica, só sei que é bom demais. Massa perfeita e recheio farto/bem temperado.<br />
Pediram desculpas e eu aceitei, sem hesitar. Sou facinha mesmo.<br />
De saideira, pedimos um dos pastéis mais caros do cardápio, o de palmito com camarão (o outro é o de bacalhau, R$ 7,00). Bom, não tem nada demais. Até que vem bastante camarão, mas olha, na boa, dá pra desencanar e ficar nos sabores triviais, que são mais baratos e ótimos.<br />
É caro pra um pastel? Sim, mas vale a pena. É bom MESMO.<br />
Fiquei curiosa com o pastel japonês, com tofu, shitake, kamaboko (massa de peixe) e cebolinha. Fica pra próxima!<br />
Na hora de pagar, o japonês pediu desculpas novamente, se justificou e, já brother do Arnaldo, recomendou que a gente experimentasse o bolinho de bacalhau na próxima visita. Pode apostar, seu <strong>Yoka</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>Yoka</strong> – <a href="http://maps.google.com.br/maps/ms?msa=0&#38;msid=117928330954652538255.00044e776b386c3155d63&#38;ie=UTF8&#38;ll=-23.553956,-46.634409&#38;spn=0.010838,0.022659&#38;z=16">R. dos Estudantes, 37</a> – Liberdade<br />

<description><![CDATA[Zen is called &#8216;the doctrine abrupt&#8217; as opposed to all others which can be termed &#8216;]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Zen is called &#8216;the doctrine abrupt&#8217; as opposed to all others which can be termed &#8216;progressive doctrines&#8217;. For Zen we use the singular while for the others we use the plural because &#8216;the doctrine abrupt&#8217; can only be one. There are as many progressive doctrines as there are people for every one progresses in their own way. So although there can be millions of progressive doctrines, there can only be one abrupt doctrine. It can&#8217;t be different for different people because it is abrupt. It doesn&#8217;t depend on who you are, it depends on only one thing; that you disappear. And this disappearance is abrupt, sudden. This point is fundamental to Zen.</p>
<p>Lets consider Yoga, a progressive doctrine. In yoga, samadhi is attained; you have to improve upon yourself, you have to go on and on working on yourself. It is a great program of improvement, achievement and accomplishment. In Zen you just have to find that you are already a buddha. There is no accomplishment, no growth, no attainment, buddhahood is everybody&#8217;s inner nature. Everybody is a buddha; whether you know it or not makes no difference. There is no method in Zen. Methods are given only to prove to you , to your heart&#8217;s desire and contentment, that all methods are useless. You work on the method and slowly, slowly you realise the futility of it. Higher and higher methods are given until you ultimately, slowly, slowly you will eliminate all methods because you will see the futility of it all.</p>
<p>One day you will come to the point where you will see that there is nothing to be attained, nowhere to go. That moment in Zen is called &#8216;the great doubt&#8217;. Known in the West as &#8216;the dark night of the soul&#8217; you are in a kind of shock; nothing to be attained, no where to go, all future disappears. Who are you? What are you doing here? And why this existence? If there is no way to reach, no where to reach and nobody to reach, then what us all this? A great doubt arises. You are falling like a dead leaf into some unknown, bottomless pit and it is all dark, and there is not even a ray of light. This great doubt or dark night of the soul, always precedes satori. Either you fall back because of the doubt &#8211; movivng back to methods, ways, paths, scriptures, principles and philosophies, you fall back just to avoid the doubt. But if you are really courageous, you leave yourself in this dark night of the soul, helpless, lost, utterly lost &#8211; seeing no meaning and no future. If this courage is there, satori happens. Suddenly out of the great doubt, and the pain and agony of it, you become awakened.</p>
<p>Then why make any effort at all? Just to see the futility. Once the futilty is proved, then one is left only with the constant question. This great doubt precedes satori; the realization of which consists in realizing that the idea of realization is illusory, and the idea of the way to realization is illusory, because all is realization from the very beginning. This is the fundamental vision of Zen.</p>

<p><a href="http://japas.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/empresa.png"></a>Neste ano temos muitos japoneses entre os melhores da edição Comer e Beber da Revista Veja. Além do melhor japonês e do melhor Temaki, temos também o melhor pastel, feito na <strong>Yokoyama</strong>. </p>
<p>A casa, super tradicional, é tocada há 42 anos pela família de Tereza Yokoyama. Preparados com massa leve e firme, fazem sucesso os pastéis de palmito, frango com Catupiry, carne com ovo e o clássico de mussarela.</p>
<p>Os endereços da Vila Mariana (R. Luís Góes, 1.151) e do Cambuci (Av. Lins de Vasconcelos, 1.365) costumam ficar super lotados. Por isso, a dica é aproveitar o domingo, visitar a Liberdade e conhecer a terceira casa da família chamada Yoka, na Rua dos Estudantes, já bem perto da praça.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-359" src="http://yiskandar.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_0590_r2.jpg" alt="Sentani1" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Satu sore di punggungan bukit Ungabo, Sentani Timur, Papua, membentang begitu indahnya alam perawan danau Sentani yang luasnya sekitar 7.500 hektar. Dikelilingi oleh perbukitan ilalang dan semak-semak dengan sedikit pepohonan besar, tampak dari kejauhan seolah-olah dikelilingi oleh selimut hijau.</p>
<p>Masyarakat kampung Yoka dan Ayope tinggal di sebreang-menyeberang danau. Suasana alamnya terlihat masih asli, begitu juga kehidupan masyarakatnya. Namun lokasinya sebenarnya tidak terlalu jauh dari Jayapura, hanya sekitar 25 km. Dari jalan utama Jayapura &#8211; bandara Sentani yang melintas menyusuri dinding utara danau, pun dapat terlihat dengan jelas pemandangan alam danau Sentani.</p>
<p>Bukit Ungabo, adalah sebuah bukit yang ditengarai menyimpan potensi alam bahan tambang emas.</p>
