Does Yoga Mean "To Yoke?"/
Wikipedia offers a nice overview. Here are the important quotes:
The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to control," "to yoke" or "to unite." Translations include "joining," "uniting," "union," "conjunction," and "means." The word yoga may also derive from the root "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption."
[Patanjali gives this terse definition] "Yoga is the inhibition (nirodha?) of the modifications (vrtti) of the mind (citta)".
Hatha Yoga is a particular system of Yoga described by Yogi Swatmarama compiler of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in 15th century India. Hatha Yoga differs substantially from the Raja Yoga of Patanjali in that it focuses on shatkarma," the purification of the physical body as leading to the purification of the mind ("ha"), and "prana," or vital energy.
If this is accurate, there is a strong possibility that Yoga and the Daoyin--Tai Chi--Shaolin matrix have a common origin, or that at least they all stem from a common notion of what a human being is. I would summarize the method of Daoyin as--- "yoking" a purified physical body to "that stuff which animates us" (qi or prana) and then "yoking" that to a larger active spacial mind. ---The use of the word purification here could also mean distillation or total differentiation.
The jing and qi must be purified or distinguished, they can not be mixed. If the physical body (jing) is mixed with prana/qi the result will be gross motor or fine motor movement. All three types of movement are controlled by the spacial mind, however in the case of "yoking" or Daoyin the spacial mind does not effect the body directly it must first unify with the qi/prana which then acts as an intermediary pulling (or pushing) the whole physical body along. So fine motor movement, like typing, is almost impossible to do because it requires direct mental control of the fingers.
Pantanjali's "inhibition of the modifications of the mind," may simply be describing the discarding of all fine and gross motor control. Perhaps it also includes the discarding of artifice, effort, and the maintenance of fantasies. That would put it pretty close to an early definition of Laozi's key concept: wuwei (not doing, or non-aggressive intentionality).
A quick scan of blogs dealing with the question of "yoking" turned up this:
Importantly, yoga did not mean "yoke" or "union" in its classical usage, despite what most yoga teachers and popular writers on yoga say today. But, as many contemporary scholars of Indian philosophy will point out, it would indeed be odd for yoga to mean something like "yoke" or "union" since the objective of Patanjali's yoga, as it is laid out in the Yoga-Sutra, is for the yogi to recognize and realize the true nature of the universe – i.e. that pure consciousness (purusa) is distinct from mere matter (prakrti), which includes our minds and our thoughts. In other words, the yogi does not seek union or oneness with the world; rather, he seeks to liberate himself from his attachment to the worldly.
And I would respond that to distinguish consciousness (spacial mind and qi) from matter (body mass and ideas) is simply a returning to our original nature. I would tend to describe our original nature as a functional order rather than a "union" since "union" is really a matter of perspective--whether we call it one, two (one 'yoked' to one) or three (one yoked to two) really depends where "we" are standing. Does "our" original nature really have any fixed limits? Sounds like liberation to me!

That is it all successive month-to-month increase within the airplane generator energy expenses, which have now gone up by over 20 {2efbd8472fb3a73c359d5f04379c2b484957fd8bf221a43a5aa5bc6712cec430} since July. The pattern seems to be that airlines start with fares that aren't too much increased than their discount fares, drop them just a few months out if there are still many available seats, after which begin shifting them up once more as soon as the plane is extra full.
The heady mixture of the online as well as the globe downturn within the financial system has led to an interesting change within the actual vacation market – the particular overt advertising of low cost vacations within the marketing relating to excessive end. Our progressive flight search, curated offers and inspirational content makes it easy to seek out cheap flights from Australia to wherever on the planet. Low cost airfare offers are at all times available to avoid wasting your day but to take pleasure in them you could follow some tips. I've but to buy tickets and I see that there are a lot of bought out planes, or only costly/first class charges available. For these of you who by no means heard of it, it is principally buy one get one free tickets.
New Delhi to Kathmandu is barely 85 minutes by air, so that fare does not seem unusually low cost. With eight tickets, they might have a approach of getting a deal, and their fee could be value it. And lastly, whenever you check fares online, you should in all probability test just for blocks of 2 or four tickets at a time. For example; if you will New York City it may be higher to go to Newark the place in you can save $200 as a substitute of going directly to the town. Use this opportunity in addition to the guidelines above to find good deals and fly low cost. If you're aware of the fundamental principles of dealing, you possibly can make use of that inside your Las Vegas vacation package deal offers and even Disney world vacations package deal gives or even no matter journey bundle affords your interested by. It was once that an airways tickets for reasonable flights had been printed off at your native journey agency.
During a single week in March, for instance, a current seek for a round-trip flight between New York and Miami turned up ticket prices as little as $174 and as high as $314. Taking the time of your flight into consideration can save you some huge cash in your airplane tickets without inflicting you any frustration or scheduling points. We associate with tons of of suppliers – huge and small – to deliver you cheap flights and personalised journey choices. In my latest checks, I found that one-means flights throughout the Atlantic tended to be costlier than one spherical trip and an extra portion to get again to the starting point. Search the most affordable airfare charges not only from the largest and hottest on-line travel businesses however extend your search to new journey companies then buy tickets on-line.
Whether or not you might be planning a business journey or a trip with the one you love, no one can beat CheapOair in relation to reserving the most cost effective airline tickets to your favorite vacation spot in among the top airlines across the planet. But book a trip to Indianapolis with an Atlanta connection and also you're solely spending $153.

Artist Bio
Views Of The Golden Gate is a collection of images I have made over the past year. The dynamic combination of architecture, and diverse weather makes each visit to the Golden Gate a unique experience.
I have chosen this collection of images because it demonstrates my passion for the visual worlds of both color, and monochrome. The collection I have selected also demonstrates the long exposure technique. I prefer this method of image making, because it "smooths" the elements and records a period of time in one single frame leaving a layering effect to the subjects.

Amy Winehouse, Tinie Tempah and Mother Teresa are among the famous faces that artist Kelvin Okafor has captured on paper. But, while you would swear that these portraits are photographs, the 27-year-old Middlesex University art student has in fact drawn every single one of them.
Okafor's Flickr account acts as an online portfolio of the artist's work, with 45 portraits on view to the public. He has a diverse range of subjects, from R&B stars Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé to Princess Diana and the Queen. Okafor, who lives in Tottenham, has also included a still life of a desk fan, called I'm A Fan, which is dedicated to a supporter of his work.
Mostly in black and white, these drawings demonstrate an extraordinary attention to detail. A series of images on Okafor's website shows his drawing process, as he includes the tiniest minutiae in white and black pencil on top of layers of black charcoal and white paper.
Some of Okafor's work is on show at the Science Museum until February 4. In the past, he has sold portraits for up to £10,000 and exhibited at London's Mall Galleries, according to The Independent.

Sales Up in April While Market Remains Tight
May 3, 2012 — Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 10,350 transactions through the TorontoMLS system in April 2012. This level of sales was 18 per cent higher than the 8,778 firm deals reported in April 2011. The strongest sales growth was reported in the single-detached market segment, with transactions of this home type up by 22 per cent compared to a year ago.
"Interest in single-detached homes has been very high, both in the City of Toronto and surrounding regions. Growth in single-detached listings has not kept up with demand, which means competition between buyers in this market segment increased. With this in mind, it was no surprise that the strongest annual price increase was also experienced in the single-detached segment," said Toronto Real Estate Board President, Richard Silver.
The average price for April 2012 transactions was $517,556 – up 8.5 per cent compared to April 2011. While price growth was strongest for single-detached homes, the better-supplied condominium apartment segment experienced a more moderate annual rate of price growth, at four per cent.
"Monthly mortgage payments remain affordable for home buyers in the Greater Toronto Area. While interest rates are generally expected to increase over the next two years, the extent and timing of rate hikes has been thrown into question by slower than expected economic growth in the first quarter of this year. On net, borrowing costs are expected to remain a positive factor influencing home sales through 2012," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Painless Dentistry and other trends
James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H.
If you have ever seen Steve Martin's dentist protrayal in "Little Shop of Horrors", or Lawrence Olivier asking Dustin Hoffman, "Is it safe?" in "Marithon Man", you know my initial reaction of a dental appointment. Once I get there, it is not nearly as bad and dentists are trying their best to make the visit comfortable if not downright please.
We asked dentists for their thoughts on trends and one is making the visit more enjoyable. I never thought I would put spa and root canal in the same sentence, but see our article on The Modern Dentist.

[My flickr feed]
This saying should be killed off. It is dehumanising, contradictory and does nothing to restore my faith in people. In time, if repeated often enough, it leads to an arms race of (perceived) financial success. You are rewarded for increased billing, not better service, excellent client skills or a pattern of ethical behaviour.
My days in professional practice, and before that recruitment, were testosterone fuelled, where fee earners seemed more interested in outmanoeuvring one other, and getting to the top of the billing rankings, rather than being encouraged to do the best by their client.
But, sticking with the theme. Let's just say that the person has had a lousy month, they haven't billed a fraction of what was expected and they know you will be having a word in their 'shell-like'.
How will you deal with the scenario?
Please not the dreaded, ill-mannered memo. Or the ubiquitous email that is shoehorned in such a way as to denude you and the organisation of any humanity.
No, the answer is simple – go and talk to them. And promise me once you have asked the first few questions you shut up and listen.
To begin with, no doubt, you will hear the usual bland, insipid response, but, if you wait long enough and show you care, it may well be that the person opens up. Don't worry if you get the usual jam tomorrow excuses – all people who are backed into a corner will rely on that old chestnut – but try to find out what is really going on. Don't keep banging on about the fact that this month isn't as good as last month or what your budget says it should be. May be I am being delustional and you will resort to the carrot and (big) stick but business is about playing the long game, not focusing relentlessly on yesterday's results as a guarantee of tomorrow's triumph. Don't forget you are dealing with people, not machines! And of course, once you find out the real reason it may just build a connection that does much more than a quick pep talk.
But perhaps there is another issue at stake – what lies ahead may just mean that yesterday's results cannot be sustained. No business is immune from change and perhaps you need to look at the strategic issues in more detail. You may have to consider greater technological change, outsourcing in one shape or another or taking a different tack with your clients. If any of these resonate then have you got the right people on the right seats on the bus? It is highly unlikely that what they are doing today will half-resemble what they are doing in a few years time.
My advice: stop judging people by what they did yesterday, and instead look re-imagine a better tomorrow.

The Maize Performance Trials (MPT) is an industry wide trial done across maize hybrids where testing is focused on the agronomic and quality characteristics of close-to-market pre-commercial and commerical maize grain and silage hybrids.
For a number of years maize growers asked for an independent maize hybrid testing scheme. In 2014, FAR (Foundation for Arable Research) convened an industry discussion to explore the idea of having such a scheme open to all seed companies, similar to the Cereal Performance Trial (CPT) programme that has been operating successfully in New Zealand for over 30 years. Corson Maize Seed was one of the key supporters of the MPT.
The purpose of the MPT programme is to:
A Maize Technical Committee of representatives from the maize industry was established to govern the trial programme to operate under agreed MPT Operating Procedures. Analyses of the trial results are carried out by an independent statistician. FAR, NZ Plant Breeding & Research Association (NZPBRA) and the participating seed companies. Any organisation or company may join the committee if they agree to pay an appropriate share of the operating costs, participate in the running of the trials or contribute a service to the scheme.
The MPT comprises a single stage of hybrid testing focussing on the agronomic and quality characteristics of close-to-market pre-commercial and commercial maize grain and silage hybrids. The trial design is fully replicated, small plot design which includes agreed standard hybrids for comparison and harvest assessments which will be made at an agreed maturity value for the individual hybrids entered into the programme. Weather and soil information is collected for all trial sites.
The MPT is now in its third year, with its aim being to provide objective measurement of agronomic and quality performance of commercial maize hybrids available to the New Zealand arable industry across appropriate production regions; and to foster industry adoption of proven hybrids to maximise industry efficiency and profitability.
The development of an independent maize hybrid testing programme is a considerable investment for the maize seed industry.
Corson Maize Seed was an inaugural supporter of the MPT programme of independent maize hybrid trials, and FAR acknowledges the industry good support of Corson Maize Seed with the MPT programme.
The latest results can be found on the FAR website www.far.org.nz.

Christmas is looking good for Brad Pitt after all. A report has surfaced in an Australian publication that claimed that after all has been said and done, he was able to get custody of his six children for the Christmas holidays.
It was reported that the actor was feuding with estranged wife Angelina Jolie who was determined to take the kids away from him during the year-end festivities.
Several media outlets claimed that despite the fact that Jolie had previously promised Pitt that the children would be spending the special holiday with him — out of revenge — she decided to change her plans last minute.
Instead of being in California with their father, Jolie wanted to take a little vacation in Cambodia with the clan.
Pitt was furious and also saddened by the thought of being alone at the particular moment.
It is not known how it was done or if Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, played a part in the process, but somehow he managed to get custody of his kids.
According to the New Idea, the famous actor is said to be over the moon by the happy news.
An insider shared with Hollywood Life that Pitt will also be spending his 54th birthday on December 18 with his family.
The pal said: "Brad is looking forward to his birthday this year as he is going to have all the kids with him."
The source added: "Maddox and Pax have told their dad that they are going to cook him a special birthday dinner, and the girls are going to make him a cake. A lot has changed over the past year, and Brad is feeling so much better now after a tough twelve months. Brad's children mean everything to him, and he hates not being there every day with them—but he is seeing a lot more of the kids now that they are living close by, and he feels like he is finally able to make up for lost time. Brad was feeling down on his birthday last year, but he is now back on track and has started looking forward to the future again."
The source claimed that this is a win for Pitt who has been trying very hard for the past few months to be with his children as Jolie traveled around the world with them for documentaries and humanitarian works.
It is not known if the pair will keep the peace after the holidays or start fighting again.

Claudia Rahardjanoto Teaches a Crossover Step
Performed by the great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, the crossover step is traditionally done three times, with a break at the end. In her beginner tap class, Claudia Rahardjanoto uses it to teach weight shifts, having students perform it four times in a row, alternating sides. "I like this step because it looks like more than it actually is," she says. "Increasing the tempo makes it look harder." She counts in bars of four to demonstrate the rhythm: "Ah-1, and-ah-2, ah-3, ah-4."

New York—The Back-to-School (BTS) shopping season in the United States is already in full swing, with over one-third (37%) of consumers having begun their shopping–up from the 29% who started at this time last year. Roughly 90% of households indicated a selection of brick-and-mortar retail as a shopping venue for the BTS season.
For 2014, 20% of consumers indicated that a change in fashion trends is a reason that they will change their spending compared to last year–doubling 2013's indication. This shows a strong increase in discretionary purchasing, as fashion is not an essential expenditure.
'A Good Omen'
Consumers will shop in a variety of places for their BTS items this year. While discounters are still expected to be the winners, the number of households selecting this shopping venue dropped from 90% last year to 80% this year. For all 2014 BTS shopping venues, discounters represented a 23.7% share of where consumers will shop. Many retailers found in regional malls and open-air centers, such as office supply stores, traditional department stores, electronic stores, and apparel specialty stores, should see increased activity during the BTS season. The biggest mover was apparel specialty stores which leaped from an 8.4% share in 2013 to a 10% share this year. The share of online as a BTS shopping venue will be 8.1% this year–a drop from last year's 8.6%. Catalogs will comprise a 3% share. This means that brick-and-mortar retail, in total, will comprise almost a 90% share of BTS shopping.
Furthering the trend of "webrooming"–73% of consumers indicated that they will do research online, and then purchase in a physical store.
"After a tough winter with adverse weather in much of the country, retailers have been enjoying a strong start to summer as pent-up demand has propelled sales," said Jesse Tron, spokesman for ICSC. "This momentum will continue into the BTS selling season as well, with the vast majority of consumers indicating a strong propensity to shop for school related items. While consumers typically view BTS merchandise as an essential expenditure, we are seeing a strong indication that consumers will be spending on more discretionary purchases as well–a good omen for retail as we progress through the BTS season and into the holidays," he added.
Total BTS expenditures per household are expected to be $672 this year. Excluding electronics, expenditures on BTS items will be $325–up sharply from $285 in 2013. The share of consumers expecting to spend more this year jumped to 50% –a significant increase from last year when 39% expected to increase spending. Additionally, the share that indicated they would significantly increase (over 10%) expenditures rose from 12% last year to 21% in 2014.
Consumers still expect to complete the bulk of their BTS purchases in August (59%) – however both July (22%) and September (19%) have taken larger shares compared to 2013 (July 17%, August 66%, September 17%).
Sales were the number one motivating factor for a consumer to purchase at a specific store location at 61%. The ability to physically see, touch, or try on the merchandise was second at 52%.

William Henry Davies
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
Are you giving yourself time? Do you have to rush? ... Stop and notice the beauty all around you.
Stop reading the newspapers ... give your money to charity ... chillout ... take up a hobby
Quotes:If you want to be happy, be. ~Leo TolstoyHappiness is never stopping to think if you are.
~Palmer SondrealMost people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
~Robert AnthonyThe best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
~Mark TwainIf only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.
~Edith Wharton Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place. But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.

Enjoy this video. I was scouting for a recording location and the property owner had me to shoot his HUGE Smith & Wesson 500 revolver (using 500 grains ammo). FYI, the S&W 500 is the most powerful production handgun ever made! Just look at the HUGE muzzle blast!!

Louise Kirkby Lunn (1872-1930), the leading British contralto of her time, both on the opera stage and on the concert platform, enjoyed a forty-year career. She was a leading contralto at Covent Garden from 1902 until 1922 and made many visits to America, singing the role of Kundry in the Henry Savage Parsifal tour (1904-5) and performing regularly at the New York 'Met' and Carnegie Hall. On the opera stage among her colleagues can be counted many of the international stars of the time, including Caruso, Destinn, Martinelli, Melba, Plançon, Renaud, Scotti, Ternina and Van Rooy. In the opera house she sang under Mahler, Nikisch and Richter. She was first to sing the role of Dalila in a staged performance in the UK of Saint-Saëns' Samson et Dalila, one of her greatest triumphs. As a concert singer, she was greatly admired by Sir Henry Wood and Sir Edward Elgar and took part in the first performances of works by Coleridge-Taylor, Stanford and others. As a recitalist, she performed a wide range of music and supported many of the composers of her time. Her tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1912-13 was perhaps the most successful ever yet made by an English singer. This book celebrates a remarkable career of an outstanding singer whose achievements have perhaps been overlooked.
The book follows the course of Kirkby Lunn's career featuring contemporary reviews and many illustrations. The book also includes a chronology, an appreciation by Tully Potter, a new discography by David Mason and a CD featuring opera recordings by Kirkby Lunn, transferred by Norman White.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT SS15| Jamie Wei Huang
A womenswear designer who combines the conceptual with the modern, it's no wonder why the work of Jamie Wei Huang has been so quick to catch the eye of the industry. Selected as one of the top five finalists for the international Designer for Tomorrow award, personally mentored by Stella McCartney and gaining full sponsorship for her SS14 show at Mercedes Benz Berlin Fashion Week, Huang's label is one which prides itself on creating streamlined clothing for the contemporary woman.
Last season, Huang's AW14 showcase on the Fashion Scout catwalk brought together the delicate nature of the label with militant precision to portray the resourcefulness that war dictates. Through material, light, functionality and form, leathers and wools were paired with features focused on functionality in the creation of a thoroughly impressive collection of garments.
Using fashion as a visual language to explore the self through material, texture and cut, it's these elements that combine again and again to create her signature aesthetic. Having gained experience under both Alexander McQueen and Christopher Kane, as well as working as a costume designer for the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremonies, we have no doubt that the work Jamie Wei Huang brings to the catwalk this season will be as beautiful as ever.

Charlene Neuhoff
"So much of the world is geared to take advantage of our inner discomfort. Feeling empty in a full life often becomes the norm. Learning how to tag out of that bullshit, acknowledge who we really are and how we really feel is powerful and so important"
Charlene is a Registered Psychologist with a focus on strengths-based approaches that leverage a person's natural abilities and tap into their motivations for change.
Charlene has developed a reputation for her open, empathetic and gentle approach, nurturing her clients to overcome their obstacles with self-compassion and self acceptance.
Charlene supports her clients to work through a number of challenges, such as anxiety, trauma, grief and shame, by utilising techniques and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness.
Passionate about her work, Charlene remains at the forefront of what psychology has to offer and integrates this interest into her work in the therapy room, while offering a down-to-earth and friendly approach.
Self Acceptance
Mood Disorders
Charlene's tip for dealing with anxiety
1. Go after the cause, not the symptoms. Anxiety is a message from your body to stop what you're doing and notice that you're hurting. We need to find and tend to what's beneath the message.
2. Try to normalize the feeling. It's a sign of your body trying to help.
3. Nourish and move your body. It may not be the cure for anxiety but it does play a big part.
Outside the therapy room
I'm kicking my own ass at Bikram yoga. I'm fortunate enough to sit across from beautiful people all day. But the sitting part is brutal. Bikram fixes that, plus yay for heat shock proteins. I also live at cafe's. I'll often be that weirdo nerding out in the corner with a giant (ill-advised) coffee.
What I'm Listening To:…
This is a podcast built around long, casual conversations with the most interesting and brilliant people on the planet. I find listening to how these people think and live fascinating. The host Joe is a hilarious character. He's a straight shooter, so you either love that or hate that about him. But I love a good rascal! Favourite guests so far have to be Dr Rhonda Patrick, Paul Stamets, Michael Pollan, Russell Brand, and Hamilton Morris.

Looks like we'll find out who the new assistant executive director will be (the recommendation will be made tonight, according to agenda) and the 2012-2013 pairings and brackets will be approved. The big deal there: There are two basketball proposals, a "traditional" set of brackets and another set that groups district placewinners regionally.
We'll update frequently.
OK, it is a little odd without Brad Cashman at the center of the head table and numerous long-standing members absent like Rod Stone (District 1), Ray Wotkowski (District 6), Jack Wabby (District 11). Not a bad thing, just odd.
Director of Business Affairs Greg Biller gives the bad news: PIAA was approximately $36,000 below budget for spring sports. For the 2011-2012 school year, it looks like the PIAA will lose money, down about 1.5% from last year's bottom line. Biller did not provide a dollar figure.
Biller did say that one of PIAA's increased costs is holding events at college facilities. Biller gave some examples, and noted that costs were nearly double at college sites than similar events held at high school sites.
Fast-moving meeting has suddenly slammed into a wall. District 7 is raising all kinds of concerns – 11 of them – about the pending Competitive Spirit Championships. The D-7 reps read each concern verbatim. Serious buzzkill (such as there's a buzz at a BOD meeting). But the concerns are legit.
Biggest concern from D-7 is that it hasn't received enough information from PIAA to properly conduct a district championship. It has also raised concerns about the number and quality of available officials (which will not be registered with PIAA), the way entrants are classified and whether males will be permitted (at current, no).
Lots and lots of discussion. Lengthy but necessary: the PIAA championship is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 2, at Hersheypark Arena, and districts have to complete their championships at least a week before the state championship. Most districts will be conducting their first spirit championships this year.
Hersheypark Stadium is retained as the site for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 PIAA Lacrosse Championships. Lacrosse was bid out with the idea that a District 1 / District 12 site would have a big advantage (D1 and D12 teams have reached every state final since adoption in 2009), but the beautiful PP&L Park in Chester came in at $20,000, oddly enough a round $20,000 higher than Hersheypark, which offered the Stadium free for the next two years.
Dr. Lombardi does not reveal the name of the recommended new assistant executive director. Reason: The Human Resources Committee has not made its recommendation yet; the only recommendation has come from staff. So it won't be a done deal until Friday morning.
Should be getting to the brackets and pairings soon.
Well, shut my keyboard. Pairings and brackets have been pushed to Friday, and the meeting has been adjourned.
Back tomorrow morning around 8.

Usually when I come home from work and working out, the last thing I feel like doing is making a fancy dinner. If I put together a salad or some stir-fry… chances are that I won't be writing about it on the blog.
With that being said, this "ordinary" weeknight dinner salad was just too pretty and too delicious to not brag about!
Summer Salad
Recipe by: It's Good to be the Cook
Makes 1 Serving @ 5 WW Points
1/4 Head Iceberg Lettuce, torn
1/4 Champagne Mango
1/4 Cucumber
1/4 Avocado
1 slice Bacon, cooked crisp
6 Grape Tomatoes
4 Green Beans
Green Onion, Sea Salt & Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Sunflower Seeds
1/4 lb Cooked Shrimp
Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar
1. Chop all of the ingredients except the shrimp. Mix in a large bowl with the iceberg lettuce. Pull the tails off of the shrimp and top the mixed salad.
2. Dress the salad with some chopped green onion, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle w/ a teaspoon of Sunflower Seeds. Drizzle w/ Strawberry (or plain) Balsamic Vinegar.
Loved this salad! I am not a big fan of raw veggies, so my salads tend to rely on the heavier, less healthy items such as chicken, cheeses, croutons, nuts, etc. This salad was the perfect combination of the "good" stuff & the "bad" stuff. I don't put oil on my salads when I use Vinegar, and trust me, you aren't missing it. The touch of salt and pepper enhances the flavors and makes everything delish!
As ginormous as this salad is, believe it or not, it only racks up FIVE Weight Watchers Points. FIVE! OMG!

For some time now I have seen several recipes for turning cauliflower into "rice". It seemed pretty simple and looked quite delicious so I decided to give it a try. Good thing I did. The method works best for turning any type of fried rice recipe rice-free (i.e. using cauliflower to make steam rice may not such a great idea). As a bonus the cauliflower gives the rice dish more flavor and a better texture. Plus it is ready to go a lot sooner than traditional rice. I took a true and tried Mexican rice recipe, nixed the rice and brought in the cauliflower. The end result is a bit spicy, a bit sweet from the bell pepper and a whole lot of yuminess.
– ½ head of cauliflower (about 3-4 cups of florets);
– ½ red bell pepper;
– ½ onion, sliced;
– ¼ teaspoon of cumin;
– ½ teaspoon of oregano, crushed;
– 3 tablespoons of El Pato Tomato Sauce;
– ¼ cup of vegetable stock or water;
– oil;
– salt
In a medium stockpot heat oil on medium heat. Add onions and red bell pepper and sauté until tender. Add cumin and oregano. Meanwhile in a food processor pulse florets until they resemble large than normal rice grains (the cauliflower tends to break down while cooking. By the time it is done it will be the size of standard rice grains).
Toss cauliflower into stockpot and cook until cauliflower is tender. Pour in tomato sauce and stock (or water).
Add salt and let cook for 5-10 minutes more. Remove from heat and serve.

SCHOOLGIRL Tamsin McEwen today told of the heart-stopping moment she was struck by a hit-and-run driver.
The 10-year-old was walking home from Birtley East Primary School on Tuesday afternoon when a red car hit her.
She screamed as she was thrown onto the bonnet and her head smashed into the windscreen.
But the woman driver drove off when Tamsin got up and began running home in tears.
Mum Kathleen, 35, said: "Tamsin came in and said she had been hit by a car, and at first I didn't believe her, because she was stood there in front of me.
"She was sobbing, and really shaken."
Tamsin was supposed to have been playing football at an after-school club, but had forgotten and started walking home to Lansbury Drive, Birtley.
She was just about to turn back to school when the accident happened at the junction of Neville Crescent and Highfield.
The brave year five pupil said: "I turned around and saw the car coming. I tried to run but I couldn't get away.
"The woman looked out of the window and mouthed, 'Are you OK?'
"I got up and ran home."
Tamsin was taken to Gateshead's Queen Elizabeth hospital on a spinal board for X-rays to make sure she hadn't damaged her neck and spine.
Fortunately she only suffered minor injuries and is now recovering at home with siblings Fay, 18, Aaron, 13, and Tristan, three.
But Kathleen is furious that the driver did not stop to help.
"She didn't even get out of the car," the mum-of-four said.
"Tamsin got up and ran off, but that didn't mean she was all right, she might have collapsed down the road.
"I'm having sleepless nights thinking about what could have happened, and how lucky Tamsin was."
Now Kathleen is appealing for anyone with information to get in touch with police.
"If you clip a car driving down the street you report it, but this woman had hit a child," she said.
"I hope that woman has a conscience when she reads this."
Northumbria Police confirmed they are investigating the incident.
A spokesperson said: "At 3.35pm on Tuesday afternoon a 10-year-old girl was stuck while crossing the road at the junction of Neville Crescent and Highfield.
"We have put out an appeal asking for the woman driver of a red car to contact us. She is described as white with light brown hair and is in her 50s."
Anyone with any information should contact police on 03456 043 043 ex 69191.

This sweater was part of my recent H&M faux leather binge and it is super warm and cozy. Paired with my trusty quilted Wang shorts (yes, I am wearing pants…err, shorts underneath) and these cute tights my mom got me! It is amazing how much more comfortable a pair of not-so-pleasant-to-walk-in heels is when worn with even the thinnest of tights. It's just a shame that I tend rip them after only one wear.

Teams: Oakland Raiders
Teams: Oakland Raiders[edit]
Playing as This Team: The Raiders are getting rather elderly, but they do have some young blood that will help them win games. In the passing game, you have an accurate and (still) fairly mobile QB in Gannon (unless you choose to start Collins, who is more of a pocket passer), a veteran receiver in Rice and a burner in Jerry Porter.
Rice should be your possession receiver. The Raiders like to spread things out with tons of receivers in a set, so look to those kind of plays to be successful. Singleback-Empty 5WR: All Curls is a great play to start with, and you have tons of options of where to go with the ball. The first read should be Rice, then Porter, then Brown. Sometimes, you can hit Cole slicing through the middle of the zone. Go with the Singleback-Empty 4WR: Dual Drags. If you can't find Porter crossing deep (pay extra attention to safety position), you can often hit Rice or Brown on a drag for a nice, easy completion.
Throwing to the 5WR set out of the Shotgun is also good. On the Slot Out play, you can hit Rice as he runs a deep out. Make sure he is in single coverage with no underneath help and chuck the ball right before he makes his cut. Or try to get the ball to Brown on the other side, or Porter on the In. Curry functions as a good safety valve here, camping in the zone just past the line.
On the defensive side of things, play as Warren Sapp and try to blow up the line, disrupt the run and get to the QB. You can afford to take some chances at the front, because the Woodsons--Rod and Charles--are backing things up in the secondary.
Playing Against This Team: Attacking the Raiders' front is a little tougher than it originally might seem. The D-line has improved with the addition of Warren Sapp, and Washington is still a load to move. If you're going to run, run away from these two, preferably around the edge opposite Sapp.
When passing, you don't want to test Charles Woodson too often. Instead, line up in three-and-four receiver sets and try to pick on the Raiders' Nickel backs. Make sure you account for Rod Woodson as well. Don't throw without knowing where he is.
To shut down the Raiders' spread set, you'll need to stay in Nickel and Dime coverages most of the game. You can usually get away with playing man, but you also might want to use a Cover 4, or something else that takes away much of the field. Play as a linebacker and try to cover or double cover anything dragging through the center of the field.

I'm seeing some controversy among folks I respect about the fact that the health care section of the speech didn't get hyper-specific. Didn't talk about the details of which houses of congress need to do what.
I think he made the right call. The speech is a speech to the American people, especially to people who follow politics pretty casually, and regular people don't want to hear about congressional process. The reality is that this is going to have to be worked out behind the scenes, behind the dread closed doors. But one of the main points of the speech was to get the focus on Obama and Obama's themes and off closed door dealmaking. So he emphasized the need for action and correctly situated the call for health reform in a broader context of economics reform.

If you put a gun to my head I'd name maybe six – ex-chairman on Maple 10
SEAN FitzPatrick was in the south of France when told 10 substantial customers would be lent money to unwind Sean Quinn's secret stake in the bank, a court heard.
Anglo Irish Bank's former chairman told gardai he was never informed of the identity of the 10 by chief executive David Drumm, who wanted to keep the details of the deal "very, very tight".
He alleged Mr Drumm informed him international investment bank Morgan Stanley was advising them and that the Central Bank and Financial Regulator – who had known about the Quinn problem – would be "delighted".
"He was ringing me not to discuss it, but telling me it's happening and I was to ring the board and tell them the good news," Mr FitzPatrick told officers.
"That we were coming to the end of this difficult situation."
Mr FitzPatrick said he was told by Mr Drumm the 10 would be given loans to fund the shares and that it was "all kosher, above board".
"Just think about that, was he going to go off and do something illegal in one of the most publicly looked-at deals in Ireland. Why would he do that?" he said to gardai.
"We had Morgan Stanley right in the middle advising us. Why would they not say you cannot do that? It all stacked up, it all looked appropriate."
He asked Mr Drumm if the 10 customers were real people of "substance", wealthy clients who would afford the loans if anything went wrong, and alleged he only heard names of the 10 in "dribs and drabs" through the media and friends more than six months later, the court was told.
"I heard the names bit by bit, there were three people I'd never met," he said. "If you were to put a gun to my head now I'd name maybe six."
Mr FitzPatrick presumed the Financial Regulator knew what was going ahead as he had been kept up to date at that point and said "it was pretty strong stuff" to suggest Mr Drumm misled the regulator.
"Yet you find yourself here today ... obviously the regulator made a complaint about the transaction," the interviewing garda said.
"That will come out in the wash one day because they (Financial Regulator) will be there," he replied.
"I can't say to you the regulator knew definitely because I wasn't there. I never knew they were going to do this so I never discussed it with a regulator good, bad or indifferent."

Have you noticed the townhomes going up west of Highlands Drive? Though they are still under construction, these 109 units of Polygon Homes NW Townhomes are selling as soon as they hit the market.
Across to the north of what will be Ellis Ave NE, Polygon proposes 112 more townhomes with the same floorplans, just a different look on the outside. Like the others, they must go through a review and approval process by the City of Issaquah. Community oversight is represented by the Urban Village Development Commission (UVDC), a board of volunteers who welcome public comment and evaluate whether the developer's proposal is in line with the expectations of Issaquah Highlands, as represented in our Development Agreement. Their decision is final and is like a judge's, meaning it is "quasi-judicial." Commissioners may not speak to anyone regarding this matter outside their public meetings. All communications must be public and on the record.
On Tuesday night, April 3rd, Polygon formally presented their proposal to the UVDC, with further information provided by the City of Issaquah Development Services Manager, Lucy Sloman. The UVDC is chaired by Issaquah Highlands resident, Geoff Walker. On the commission from the Highlands are also Karl Leigh, Ben Rush and Scott McKillop. The consideration of this proposal will continue until the May 1st UVDC meeting.
The proposal consists of 112 condominium townhomes on 7.26 acres. Ten units will be "affordable." The layout will be somewhat like the Polygon Homes built "Brownstones" to the south of Dick's Sporting Goods. And like The Brownstones, the project will include 3-4 story buildings in the Traditional Townscape Neighborhood (can be googled) style. They will be connected in four, five, six and seven-unit buildings. Building design is managed by the IHCA Builder Architectural Review Committee, making sure designs are compatible and compliant with Issaquah Highlands standards.
For the Commission, parking and pedestrian safety were the hotter topics. Proposed parking is well over the required minimum. However, Commissioners Rush and Walker persisted in warning that many Highlanders use their garages for storage instead of parking, regardless of the rules in place against that, resulting in heavy use of street parking. Assurances that garages will be designed to code with room for three waste containers, bikes and home utilities did not seem to ease their minds.
The proposal includes new roads and trails throughout, with unique elements such as a "Character Street" and a "Feature Pedestrian Way". Both are designed to prioritize the pedestrian experience.
Like all homes in Issaquah Highlands, these homes will be "Built Green" and will enjoy front porches or patios to enhance the social experience of the neighborhood. One large park will anchor the southwest corner of the neighborhood with other park-like spaces throughout.
You can find more information at the Urban Village Development Commission section of www.issaquahwa.gov and view the meeting video HERE>> . If you wish to comment on this proposal, you may email Lucy Sloman (see UVDC section) or attend and speak the May 1st meeting at Council Chambers at 7pm.
Some Important Features in Townhome Proposal
- Circulation and Traffic Safety
- Pedestrian Access
- Parks and Trails
- Parking
- Building Orientation
This application is part of the development housing count we reported on in February Connections and in the Issaquah Highlands Development News/Update.
