NYS will allow just 20 hospitals statewide to prescribe marijuana to patients with cancer, glaucoma or other diseases that meet standards to be set by the New York State Department of Health. While Mr. Cuomo’s measure falls well short of full legalization, it nonetheless moves New York, long one of the nation’s most punitive states for those caught using or dealing drugs, a significant step closer to policies being embraced by marijuana advocates and lawmakers elsewhere.
WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER? IT IS A MATTER OF PERCEPTION. . . Om Namah Shivaya!
A young man in his mid-twenties knocks on the door of the noted Guru. He said: “I’ve come to you because I wish to study Vedas.”
“Do you know Sanskrit?” the Guru asks.
“No,” replies the young man.
“Have you studied anything from Hindu philosophy?”
“No, Guru. But don’t worry. I just finished my doctoral dissertation at Harvard on Socratic logic. So now, I would just like to round out my education with a little study of the Vedas.”
“I seriously doubt,” the Guru says, “that you are ready to study Vedas. It is the deepest knowledge ever known. If you wish, however, I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass that test I will teach you Vedas.”
The young man agrees.
Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”
The young man stares at the Guru. “Is that the test in logic?”
The Guru nods.
”The one with the dirty face washes his face“- he answers wearily.
“Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.”
“Very clever,” the young man says. “Give me another test.”
The Guru again holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face, the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”
“We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his face.”
“Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face wash his face, he also washes his face. So, each one washes his face.”
“I didn’t think of that,” says the young man. It’s shocking to me that I could make an error in logic. Test me again.”
The Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”
“Each one washes his face.”
“Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with the clean face sees the one with the dirty face doesn’t wash his face, he also doesn’t wash his face. So, neither one washes his face.”
The young man is desperate. “I am qualified to study Vedas. Please give me one more test.”
He groans, though, when the Guru lifts two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”
“Neither one washes his face.”
“Wrong. Do you now see why Socratic logic is an insufficient basis for studying Vedas? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don’t you see? The whole question is nonsense, foolishness, and if you spend your whole life trying to answer foolish questions, all your answers will be foolish, too.”
May we all have the wisdom to ask, and answer, the wise questions!

Interesting Things Covered in Chocolate
November 15th, 2013
Cooking
For chocolate lovers, there are plenty of options
beyond conventional dessert fare. Chocolate is a far more versatile
substance than many people realize. Let's say, every once in a while,
you'd like to add a bit of extra sweetness to a midday snack, or even a
meal. Here are some ideas for foods that can blend with and enhance the
presence of chocolate in your life.Fruits
Some of these are already well-known meldings of chocolate and fruit. For example, frozen chocolate-covered bananas were made a favorite pop culture reference by the Original Frozen Banana Stand on the legendary sitcom "Arrested Development." The Bluth family's frozen bananas were seemingly chilled, placed on a stick for easier handling and dipped in melted chocolate and nuts before being served to customers. It wouldn't be too difficult to replicate this recipe at home for a frosty summertime treat.
Meanwhile, strawberries served with melted chocolate - frozen or warm - have been known to add to romantic ambiance to any couple's evening. The same can't quite be said for pieces of pineapple coated in chocolate, but both ideas result in equally scrumptious mixtures of sweetness and tang. There are many different strategies for creating chocolate strawberries and chocolate pineapples. Some recipes call for using freeze-dried fruit and popsicle sticks to make candy, others suggest using white chocolate instead of milk or dark, another from Gayot.com tells the reader to add pistachios to an elegant dessert of pineapple and dark chocolate. Meanwhile, the Food Network published instructions for a treat not too far from Bluth bananas - the Chocolate-Strawberry Waffle Ball on a Stick.
Those feeling adventurous may want to seek out a recipe that calls for blending chocolate and avocado. Some experts advise making avocado candy, while What's Cooking America provides a set of instructions for tasty sounding avocado-chocolate truffles, but note that baking these requires unsweetened cocoa instead of melted chocolate.
Snacks
Virtually any snack food - with or without a little extra salt - compliments chocolate with ease. Chocolate-covered pretzels are a favorite among snacking enthusiasts worldwide and have found popularity dipped in either dark and white chocolate. Graham crackers are another good example of a common companion to chocolate. Let us never forget - putting small bars of chocolate and a toasted marshmallow between two graham crackers results in one of the greatest snacks known to humankind - the s'more.
Other popular snack foods aren't necessarily melded with chocolate as often, but that doesn't mean they make a less mouth-watering snack. For example, Cooks.com recommends combining popcorn, marshmallows and chocolate for a treat that sounds tailor-made to munch on while taking in a movie. Furthermore, some gourmet outlets sell bags of chocolate-covered popcorn. The same can be said for potato chips.
Bet you didn't expect bacon....
When all's said and done, you can melt chocolate and pour it on just about anything - but that doesn't make it a good idea. However, some out-of-left field foods combine with chocolate almost shockingly well. For one example, versions of chocolate covered bacon are actually served at some high-end restaurants and specialty snack retailers. However, the website YumSugar makes it seem easy to make chocolate-covered bacon at home. The secret appears to be baking the bacon - instead of frying it as one normally would for breakfast - then dipping the strips in melted chocolate and serving the uncanny treat cold.
