No Death, No Fear - Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich Nhat Hanh always invites us to look deeply, and he does so once again in No Death, No Fear. Recognizing interconnections, Nhat Hanh brings us to beginnings, how they depend on endings, and how they are but temporary manifestations. Everything endures, he says, but in different forms. And this isn't just a palliative to make us feel better for a while--Nhat Hanh's philosophy of Interbeing takes the long view, challenging us to open our eyes to subtle transformations. He shows how extraordinary things happen when we are fully present with others and at peace with ourselves, both of which require openness and deep looking. In his bestselling style of easy prose, compelling anecdotes, and pragmatic advice, Nhat Hanh gradually drains the force out of grief and fear, transforming them into happiness and insightful living. Death doesn't have to be a roadblock, and in No Death, No Fear Thich Nhat Hanh shows us the way around.

The Art Of SEO - O'Reilly

Sebastopol, CA—A well-designed, easy-to-navigate website is useless if no one can find it. Yet if your company is going to succeed in the web economy, optimizing your site for search engine visibility is essential. In The Art of SEO (O'Reilly, US $44.99), four of the most noted experts in the field of search engine optimization (SEO) provide you with proven guidelines and cutting-edge techniques for planning and executing a comprehensive SEO strategy.

"In an increaingly digital world, understanding how to get new customers from search engines is essential for most organizations," says Eric Enge, president of the SEO consulting firm, Stone Temple Consulting. Authors Stephen Spencer, Rand Fishkin, and Jessie Stricchiola agree.

"Google is quickly becoming the 'operating system' of the Internet. Not securing good rankings for your website in Google is equivalent to your business having an unlisted phone number. Lost rankings equals lost revenue, lost brand reach, lost credibility," says Spencer, founder and president of the SEO firm Netconcepts.

In The Art of SEO, the authors clearly explain SEO fundamentals, while correcting many common misconceptions. If you are new to SEO, you'll get a complete and thorough SEO education, as well as an array of effective tactics, from basic to advanced. Seasoned practitioners will find this book useful as a complete reference to SEO best practices.

By reading The Art of SEO, you will:

• Become familiar with the steps you need to take to prepare for an SEO effort
• Understand how to put together the specific details for executing an SEO strategy
• Explore several value-added components to expand your SEO plan
• Learn what's necessary to build a competent SEO team, with defined roles
• Get the experts' view of the future of SEO

"SEO is a complicated and challenging field. We've all felt the pain of struggling to get reliable answers to tough SEO problems and felt that the time had come to take action," adds Fishkin, CEO and co-founder of SEOmoz. And this book will give you the answers you're looking for.

Mangala Sutta (Sutta tentang Berkah Utama)

MANGALA SUTTA (Sutta tentang Berkah Utama) dengan Animasi Wayang yang menarik...
-------------------------------------
Demikianlah telah kudengar :
Pada suatu ketika Sang Bhagava menetap di dekat Savatthi, dihutan Jeta di Vihara Anathapindika. Maka datanglah dewa, ketika hari menjelang pagi, dengan cahaya yang cemerlang menerangi seluruh hutan Jeta menghampiri Sang Bhagava, menghormat Beliau lalu berdiri di satu sisi. Sambil berdiri disatu sisi, dewa itu berkata kepada Sang Bhagava dalam syair ini :

Banyak Dewa dan manusia
Berselisih paham tentang berkah
Yang diharapkan membawa keselamatan;
Terangkanlah, apa Berkah Utama itu ?

Tidak bergaul dengan orang yang tidak bijaksana
Bergaul dengan mereka yang bijaksana.
Menghormat mereka yang patut dihormat ,
Itulah Berkah Utama

Hidup di tempat yang sesuai
Berkat jasa-jasa dalam hidup yang lampau
Menuntun diri ke arah yang benar
Itulah Berkah Utama

Memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan
Terlatih baik dalam tata susila
Ramah tamah dalam ucapan
Itulah Berkah Utama

Membantu ayah dan ibu
Menyokong anak dan isteri
Bekerja bebas dari pertentangan
Itulah Berkah Utama

Berdana dan hidup sesuai dengan Dhamma
Menolong sanak keluarga
Bekerja tanpa cela
Itulah Berkah Utama

Menjauhi, tidak melakukan kejahatan
Menghindari minuman keras
Tekun melaksanakan Dhamma
Itulah Berkah Utama

Selalu menghormat dan rendah hati
Merasa puas dan berterima kasih
Mendengarkan Dhamma pada saat yang sesuai
Itulah Berkah Utama

Sabar, rendah hati bila diperingatkan
Mengunjungi para pertapa
Membahas Dhamma pada saat yang sesuai
Itulah Berkah Utama

Bersemangat dalam menjalankan hidup suci
Menembus Empat Kesunyataan Mulia
Serta mencapai Nibanna
Itulah Berkah Utama

Meski tergoda oleh hal-hal duniawi
Namun batin tak tergoyahkan,
Tiada susah, tanpa noda, penuh damai
Itulah Berkah Utama

Karena dengan mengusahakan hal-hal itu
Manusia tak terkalahkan di mana pun juga
Serta berjalan aman ke mana juga
Itulah Berkah Utama.

This title will take you through the ins and outs of creating sophisticated professional themes for the WordPress personal publishing platform. It will walk you through clear, step-by-step instructions to build a custom WordPress theme. From development tools and setting up your WordPress sandbox, through design tips and suggestions, to setting up your theme's template structure, coding markup, testing and debugging, to taking it live it reviews the best practices. The last three chapters are dedicated to additional tips, tricks and various cookbook recipes for adding popular site enhancements to your WordPress theme designs using third-party plugins.

Whether you're working with a pre-existing theme or creating a new one from the ground up, WordPress Theme Design will give you the know-how to understand how themes work within the WordPress blog system, enabling you to take full control over your site's design and branding.

What you will learn from this book?

• Set up a basic workflow and development environment for WordPress theme design
• Create detailed designs and code them up
• Enhance your sites by choosing the right color schemes and graphics
• Debug and validate your theme using W3C's XHTML and CSS validation tools
• Customize and tweak your theme's layout

Approach

Theme design can be approached from two angles. The first is simplicity; sometimes it suits the client and/or the site to go as bare-bones as possible. In that case, it's quick and easy to take a very basic, pre-made theme and modify it.

The second is "Unique and Beautiful". Occasionally, the site's theme needs to be created from scratch so that everything displayed caters to the specific kind of content the site offers. This book is going to take you through the Unique and Beautiful route with the idea that once you know how to create a theme from scratch, you'll be more apt at understanding what to look for in other WordPress themes.

Who this book is written for?

This book can be used by WordPress users or visual designers (with no server-side scripting or programming experience) who are used to working with the common industry-standard tools like PhotoShop and Dreamweaver or other popular graphic, HTML, and text editors.

Regardless of your web development skill-set or level, you'll be walked through the clear, step-by-step instructions, but familiarity with a broad range of web development skills and WordPress know-how will allow you to gain maximum benefit from this book.

Secure Your Financial Future Investing in Real Estate - Martin Stone and Spencer Strauss

The roller coaster stock market and recent corporate scandals have left many with smaller retirement portfolios-and greater skittishness-about investment options. Real estate has been one notable bright spot in this gloomy investment landscape. New home construction is booming, property values continue to increase, and interest rates have been uncommonly low. Now, Martin Stone and Spencer Strauss leading real estate practitioners and authors, discuss how smart investors can use real estate to build a retirement portfolio-safely and successfully. Using time-tested principles, the authors outline a step-by-step guide that clearly describes the opportunities and hazards in real estate investing. For starters, Martin Stone and Spencer Strauss discuss a formula that shows readers exactly how much money they'll need for a comfortable retirement income. From there, readers will learn: *How to create safe wealth through leverage and compound interest, tax-deferred exchanges, and commonsense real estate principles *How the investment playing field has changed, and how the real estate market can provide long-term profitability and retirement stability *Do's and don'ts in planning, appraising, and financing various real estate ventures, including big and small apartment buildings, condos, foreclosures, and commercial and industrial properties *How to spot a money-making investment-and when and why to run away from a loser *How to manage properties to yield the greatest investment return, including the management of tenants, when to seek out new opportunities, and when to bail out Filled with real-life examples, checklists, and worksheets, readers will find a sharply focused treatment to retirement planning using one of the most underestimated investment vehicles on the financial scene. Real estate, the authors point out, can be a viable and extremely lucrative way to create a fulfilling, predictable, and prosperous nest egg.

The 31 Planes of Existence - Ven. Suvanno Mahathera

The suttas describe the 31distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during their long wanderings through samsara. These range from the extraordinarily dark, grim, and painful hell realms all the way up to the most sublime, refined and exquisitely blissful heavenly realms. Existence in every realm is impermanent; in the cosmology taught by the Buddha there is no eternal heaven or hell. Beings are born into a particular realm according to both their past kamma and their kamma at the moment of death.

Brisingr - Christopher Paolini

Following the colossal battle against the Empire’s warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

First is Eragon’s oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran’s beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix’s clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength—as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices— choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

Eldest - Christopher Paolini

Eldest, the second book of the trilogy, picks up where Eragon. left off. Eragon was injured in the battle for Tronjheim and he is sent with his dragon, Saphira, to the elves in Ellesmera where is he is to heal, learn magic, and train to be a Rider. He knows another battle with Galbatorix lies in his future. His cousin, Roran, finds he's lost everything, but tragic circumstances force him into becoming a leader to protect the villagers in Carvahall from the Ra'zac, and he makes discoveries of his own powers. Christopher Paolini, now 21, continues with his epic and Eldest has received positive reviews. The Philadelphia Inquirer says, "Those who are eagerly anticipating the follow-up will be thrilled with this rich, sophisticated novel. And to those who have never considered reading a book with something like a dragon on its cover, Paolini may make a believer of you yet. I, for one, can't wait to find out what happens in book three."

Eragon - Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini began writing Eragon when he was just 15 years old. Christopher's love of science fiction and fantasy shines through and will encourage young fantasy readers to pick up this hefty sized book.

The character of the book, Eragon, is a young farm boy, who finds a mysterious blue stone, in a field, while out hunting. He attempts to trade it for food for his family, without success. He had no idea the mysterious stone would hatch into a sapphire-blue dragon.

Eragon decides to secretly care for and raise the dragon. After his father is killed by evil forces known as the Ra'zac, he learns that he is the last of the Dragon Riders and the dragon egg was meant to find him.

In a race to hunt down those who killed his father he realizes his destiny is much larger then he knows, an entire Empire may be relying on him.

Eragon and his dragon Saphira must set out to find their roles in this Empire. They encounter many humans, dwarves, elves and nasty Urgals along their dangerous travels. It is a whole new world Eragon must face filled with ancient languages, magical powers, perilous situations and sudden battles.

Like many books of this genre, there are many names, places and ancient languages which may prove difficult to decipher at first. Maps and glossaries are provided to help sort things out. Despite this, the book is easy for young readers to grasp and pages will be flying fast.

Just when you think you get to the end of the book you find out the story doesn't end here. The second book in the Inheritance trilogy, Eldest, will be published next year (August 2005).
