Physically the Throat Chakra correlates to the mouth, teeth, jaw, neck, throat, esophagus, bronchial tubes, upper lungs, thyroid gland and the hypothalamus. When our Throat Chakra is not aligned we may lose our voice figuratively and literally. Without the ability of self expression we may shut down inside and lack self confidence and self love. Perhaps we have poor listening skills or difficulty hearing or talking. We may suffer from throat or mouth issues, vocal problems, TMJ, speech impediments or teeth problems. We may also develop tension headaches or thyroid conditions when our Throat Chakra is blocked.

If you've taken a peek at our bakery case lately, you may have noticed that something is a little different.
Indeed, our two pinkest cakes (Apple Spice and Pink Champagne) are temporarily being decorated with white chocolate in light of a pink chocolate shortage. And while the white chocolate shavings and curls do taste exactly the same as their technicolor counterpart, some pink chocolate lovers have been saddened to see their beloved cakes looking a little pale.
But here's the good news: we promise the pink chocolate will be back! Our vendor is currently working diligently to source an all-natural rosy food coloring for our famous cakes; and tells us we should be seeing pink again by early summer.
In the mean-time, know that our cakes are still as delicious as they always have been. And remember... regardless of the color of chocolate, true beauty exists on the inside!

A new Oliver Wyman report just released demonstrates the Health Insurance Tax (HIT) will result in higher health insurance premiums totaling $22 billion for more than 100 million Americans nationwide. This ACA tax will be paid by many, including those who are "fully insured," meaning those employers who work directly with insurance brokers to purchase employee health plans. Even retirees who are accessing insurance through Medicare Advantage programs will be hit by the HIT.
For manufacturers who are fully insured and those purchasing individual plans, this tax only adds to rising costs and higher premiums. Joe Eddy, president and CEO of Eagle Manufacturing, told his story before the House Education and the Workforce Committee earlier this year. He explained the ACA taxes and compliance burdens "have been costly, disruptive and distracting from the things we are good at doing as manufacturers."
According to the Oliver Wyman report summarized here, the HIT could raise the cost of premiums by an additional $540 for employees' families receiving health benefits from fully insured larger employers. Small business owners and their employees could shoulder an additional $500 for family coverage as a result of the HIT. These cost increases are preventable if Congress acts. Manufacturers provide competitive health benefits to attract and maintain skilled employees and because manufacturers know it's the right thing to do. Congress should be making it easier to provide insurance, not more difficult.
Regrettably, it's not just the HIT. The medical device tax—another tax that discourages innovation, growth and job creation—is ready to go into effect next year. In 2015, a temporary suspension of the 2.3 percent excise tax on medical device manufacturers was enacted after 29,000 jobs were lost as a result of the misguided tax. However, that two-year relief runs out at the end of 2017, making full repeal of this tax critical to manufacturers of medical devices. Manufacturers support immediate action to permanently repeal the medical device tax to prevent this tax from eliminating jobs and hurting local economies in all 50 states.
It was unfortunate that the Senate did not pass major health care reform legislation in July, but manufacturers urge the Senate not to give up efforts. Both the House and Senate must advance opportunities to address the burdensome taxes associated with the ACA because the deadlines are around the corner and the clock is ticking.

Rosie and Retirement
Until very recently "Rosie" had a busy life seeing friends, going to the cinema, helping out at the local charity shop and happily seeing her two children and their families a few times a month. She enjoyed the company of many of the neighbours in the other flats in her block. Life seemed rosy.
One day she had a fall and although she recovered, she no longer felt able to use her bicycle to get around. Getting on the bus was slow and difficult. She stopped helping out at the charity shop. She spent more and more time at home suddenly feeling her age - frail and vulnerable. She stopped inviting the neighbours round for tea and began to think of herself as unlovable, uninteresting and redundant as a person. She began wishing that she could die as soon as possible so that she would no longer be a burden to others.
A counsellor can help someone in Rosie's situation, possibly with the practical issues, but just as importantly, they can help Rosie to find out why she has been so suddenly caught up in a spiral of depression. Gradually, Rosie was able to pick up the threads of her social life and living became worthwhile for her again.
A sudden practical problem like reduced mobility can have unexpected and alarming knock-on effects.
Retirement in itself can create unexpected stresses and strains. How do you fill the day without a deadline or an activity? How do you cope with a partner who is suddenly there all the time?
On the other hand, many of the issues that older people bring to the consulting room are the same as those brought by people in general. Many have painful issues in their past which they may need to talk about; they may have anxiety or depression, relationship or family problems, panic attacks and phobias.
However, for some, there is one important difference. The realisation that life is short and finite hits home with renewed force if you are 75 or 80 and the number of years ahead are few.
Counselling for the elderly is just as worthwhile and helpful as for those who are younger.

Video Game Experience: Is Violence Really Caused by Games?
Creating a video game experience is an art form similar to animated cartoons, novels, and films. In video games, real-life as well as fantasy situations occur that compel the player to respond to and interact with dozens of characters and sometimes whole new worlds. There are many different games that offer a diverse selection of player experience. When one plays a game they experience anything the game's creators created. Senses can be satisfied by the realistic sounds of their character walking on a marble floor or the special effects that make everything bright when they look at the sun.
The main idea is if you are experiencing everything the character is experiencing you can allow yourself to believe that you are that person every time you play, and the achieved outcome is a video game that players want to experience more than once. But can violent games push an individual over the edge of what is an engaging experience and actually cause real life violence to occur? If so, how do experts tell the difference between violence caused by games and unrelated external factors that play a role?
Some of the different types of video game experience that have been seen in the past years are being pointed at by politicians as a way to respond to claims of increased violence among teens. Studies actually show that violence has decreased among teens as well as middle-aged men and women since the release of highly popular computer video entertainment system Sony PlayStation 2 and one of the most popular games of all time, Grand Theft Auto III. Anyone thinking that a ban on violent games will reduce violence hasn't been to the CIA free information website lately.
This series has been known worldwide for its over-the-edge game-play which allows the player to take on missions only as they see fit when they feel like it. There is no immediate plot to be concerned with, other than the standard "you are a criminal" intro, and if you are in a hurry to get your game fix you can just hop on GTA III for a few tank battles. Some of the more questionable material found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas includes stealing cars, naked women, explicit music, vandalization of private property, drive-by shootings, and gang-related violence have helped make this game a popular debate issue.
The two sides of the argument are as follows; one group would say "Grand Theft Auto is evil and perverts the mind causing violent actions". Whereas another group would say "Killers are evil, Grand Theft Auto is just a game which, like violent movies, still leaves the end-user responsible for their interpretation and actions thereafter playing". It's this boundary between real-life and fantasy that is being crossed that's got every one up in arms on the subject.
Violent behavior that cannot be attributed to any motive is often turned away as "just another influenced" teen's way of expressing hate. This is why this topic is hard to discuss without getting deeply involved in the subject of violent behavior among teens. Some situations are indeed more caused by bullying, isolation, and several classic, defined psychological conditions that can be cured before violence occurs. Every independent incident we have ever seen should be looked at as such, meaning if there was an act that was caused specifically by the desire to act out video game fantasy that does not mean every violent act on earth by teens is caused by the experience the video game offered.
I think it is important to remember that when one chooses to purchase and play a video game they are choosing their own experience. If you buy any of the thirteen Final Fantasy titles also known as "role-playing games" your game experience is no longer as violent. It falls into the category of "semi-violent video games" or "fantasy/mild violence" this means there is implied violence that is not animated to graphic detail. Grand Theft Auto is a "third person point of view shooting game" and falls into the category of "extremely violent video games" because of the amount of graphic detail that is animated such as blood and gore. The player could have purchased a "non-violent video game" which animates no graphic detail of any violent events such as Super Mario Sunshine for Nintendo GameCube.
More well-rounded gamers typically take a break from their ordinary gaming routine once in a while to enjoy titles they ordinarily would not and very rarely do people actually stick to one title alone these days. Ultimately, it is the player's responsibility to know what they can maturely handle and what they cannot. They must see that there is always a distinct difference between simulated events and real life.
In the case of Micheal Carneal opening fire on a prayer group at Heath High School with a .22 pistol he had stolen, killing 3 students, injuring 5, Micheal allowed his violent actions to cross the boundary from fantasy to real life. In Padurah, Kentucky on December 1, 1997 the fourteen year-old was said to be more accurate than the average officer in the area. According to Dave Grossman, a military psychiatrist and retired U.S. Army Ranger, Carneal fired only 8 shots, hitting four students in the head, one in the neck, and three others in the upper torso. "Nowhere in the annals of military or law enforcement history can we find an equivalent achievement". Micheal Carneal had fired thousands of bullets in first person shooting games before his rampage.
Without delving into the psychological reasoning behind his actions, we know that Micheal Carneal acted out what he had experienced in the games he was playing and said to be obsessed with. What made him play the game so many times if the experience never changed? Why was he interested in vaporizing countless and nameless enemies without a plot? What else could he have been involved in that we don't know about? Is he just a victim of brainwash? Can any of this be proven in court? What is needed is a more in-depth analysis of Micheal Carneal's psychological issues.
We are plagued with questions after tragedies like this occur globally. No matter what the details it hits home all the same. You hear about it being a hostage situation and get that gut feeling that something terrible is happening within American school walls again. Violence and war are defining marks of humanity. We learn more about these things because we have to learn more in our effort to find a regulated experience that should not affect a mature player in any psychological manner. I myself have made video games in the past and found that my violent titles like Mario Hunting were just as popular as my non-violent titles like Princess Mountain. Both games received positive feedback and seem to keep people's attention long enough that they decided to play more than a few times.
In Mario Hunting, the goal is for the player to click on Mario before he is out of sight. A gun is aimed wherever the player aims the mouse and when they click on Mario a shotgun sprays fragments through him and blood splatters from his torso and face. As you continue playing Mario gets faster and harder to hit. If you have good accuracy and fast reflexes the game is more fun. It was designed with infinite levels so the only thing stopping you from progressing is your own ability to out-pace the computer.
In Princess Mountain, the goal is to avoid enemy contact and reach the end of the level. When the flag is reached the player will progress to the next stage. Half way through the game (at about stage 15) the player takes the role of a new character (not the princess…) who is capable of using a wind tunnel to suck his enemies into his mouth and receive points for doing so while eliminating them. Throughout the entire game there are power-ups that can be picked up to gain points or enter secret stages.
This contrast between a violent video game and a nonviolent video game shows us the huge difference in the experience the player is receiving when they use the game. Some fighting games such as Mortal Kombat 4 for Nintendo 64 can be considered educational because they technically teach violence. This game, along with others in the "hand to hand combat" game genre use real life fighting styles and stances to illustrate how everything from mixed martial arts to street fights take place. The actual moves could comprise a real life combat and self defense education collectively. The player's skill is based on how much damage they can do and how many enemies they can defeat in a certain amount of times. In a way, this is less explicit than some shooting games such as Tomb Raider: Lara Croft on Sony PlayStation.
Other games in the third-person shooting genre are even more fantasy based than Grand Theft Auto. Take Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for Sony PlayStation 2 for instance, a game known for its gory zombie scenes and "survival horror". In these types of games, the player is intentionally spooked at critical moments and forced to think fast with deadly consequences for improper reactions. Members of the group will split up for long periods of time and characters will have their own engaging side stories that you will get to play halfway through.
The Resident Evil: Dead Aim game is even available for the SoCom 2, a light-gun peripheral which allows players to aim a pistol at the screen and shoot the enemies with their own deadly accuracy. The player must shoot zombies before they begin to eat him/her. On-screen bonuses including health and key items are available all around. This game genre also makes use of Puzzle game-play, forcing players to use logic in order to progress the story further, while still dealing with the urgency of being in a zombie-infested city.
What captures life? The rooms a player travels through can be almost like portals transporting them from one place to another to get the next clue, solve the next maze, and shoot the next enemy, save the next princess. When did Micheal Carneal decide that this portal was no longer satisfying his desire for violent experience? If we can answer this question maybe we can find out exactly if, how, and why the video game experience could have drove him to commit these acts, and finally settle once and for all whether or not the actual games themselves are responsible and should be banned from play for all ages…
In conclusion, the video game industry has a responsibility to regulate itself. Rather than having games become banned by acts of legislation video game developers that provoke action of congress should be refused publication and offered extra time to change the game for re-publication. The future of the video game experience will be involved in the future of monitoring violent or unhealthy psychological reactions to violent and/or pornographic content. This provides a responsibility to mankind from game publishers and developers alike.
Video Games are art that should be protected by the 1st amendment of the United States constitution, the right to free speech. But like film, there needs to be an unspoken understanding among the figureheads in the industry upon what is right and what is wrong. We will never truly know why Micheal did what he did that fateful day. It was widely known that he was suffering from bullying and ridicule and had become a shut-in from society long before the event took place. This doesn't Perhaps if some one could have got him help we would know more and those students would not be dead. It is possible that past psychological science might be applied to current disorders allegedly sprouted while playing video games; the statistics paint a different picture. As it remains, more research is needed to draw any definitive results on the matter.
So, do I think video games cause violence? No more than a film causes it. Watching the terminator movie leaves many children thinking they are terminator but that doesn't often translate into teens in the streets with shotguns. There is a stark difference between fantasy and reality and we all make our own decisions on what that reality is every day with our own actions.

Last night, I escaped from prison and managed to not get caught, lucky for me, they were focused on capturing someone else and didn't see me slip by... when you dream, sometimes it feels like you can't run fast enough, but this time, I was able to flee, hide behind buildings, climb fences.
Finally free, I walked along the street, still wearing oversized sweats and hair a mess, I realized I would never be "free" again, but would be constantly living in fear of getting caught. I am sure this dream alludes to the movie I saw a few nights ago, La Misma Luna, about a young boy who tries to cross the border to see his mother.
Anyways, I had one of those half-conscious moments where I realized how shitty the dream was and tried to wake up. Those are always intensely frustrating.

Happy New Year's Eve!
Looking back in retrospect, 2014 has been pretty AMAZING! It doesn't feel the same as last year on New Year's Eve. Last year I was happy to say "KICK ROCKS," and welcomed twenty-fourteen with open arms. Right from the start, I knew it was going to be a great year! And it was! Everything I did this year, kept me moving in forward motion. Step by step, everything I did. all the lessons learned, were positive and set all my wheels in motion.
I spent my year surrounded by positive friends! Learning and growing as a person every chance that I got! This year I soaked up everything like a sponge. Really got down and dirty in my journal and shining a flashlight on what is working for me and what no longer serves me.
* My grades in School were Awesome, I am am very proud of them. I worked very hard to get them and pushed through the stress and came out on top every time.
* I practice meditation almost everyday, I learned some cool stuff like Ayurveda, learned about my Chakras, and really did some inner personal growth work on myself.
* I found out a lot about myself and through Morning Pages & my journals, I have a clear vision of what I want and NEED in my life.
Anyways, as I look back over the year all I can do is smile. I made it. I survived. I am blessed beyond measure and grateful for everything! I am ready for the new blessings that The Universe has for me in the New Year! I am truly grateful for everything that has come in my life and every thing that has left!
I found this interesting article on Mind Body Green:
12 Rituals To Do In 12 Days To Guarantee 12 Months Of Love & Prosperity
I am literally excited, for whatever 2015 has in store for me!
I want to say Thank YOU, to all of you for being a pat of my Journey, and my Journey continues……..
So I want to wish you all a wonderful New Year filled with blessings and happiness!
— May The Force Be With YOU.

What we learned this weekend: Why Bale has a hotter shot than RVP, Villa are outscoring the top sides, and does Gerrard get away with fouls like Shearer did?
Ralph Ellis runs you through what we learned from this weekend's football... including a look at the lower divisions, too. This week includes the debate on where Andy Carroll will end up in the summer, Brighton's chances of promotion under the brilliant Gus Poyet and whether Steven Gerrard gets away with too much from referees.
1 West Ham fans and manager Sam Allardyce would love to keep Andy Carroll when his loan spell from Liverpool ends – but you suspect one man at Upton Park who won't be sorry to see the back of him is fellow striker Carlton Cole.
Cole spent another afternoon on the bench as Carroll and Hammers played out a goalless draw against Newcastle.
If Carroll plays, Cole doesn't. Cole has figured in 26 games in all, while Carroll has appeared 22 times – but who knows if they could have formed a partnership because they have spent only 103 minutes on the pitch at the same time.
Certainly the Upton Park faithful haven't a clue. They haven't played together in a home match since the last eight minutes against Arsenal way back in October.
Like for like: Cole (right) may be glad to see the back of Carroll in the summer
2 Back when Alan Shearer was England captain it was claimed that referees took a lenient view on his challenges because of his exalted position.
Does Steven Gerrard now get the same privilege? Certainly he was fortunate that referee Michael Oliver kept his cards in his pocket during yesterday's Merseyside derby.
The official left unpunished both a clumsy challenge on Leon Osman, and then getting a mouthful after awarding a free kick during the second half.
Gerrard has not been booked in a League game at Anfield now since September 2010 (although he was sent off in January 2011 in an FA Cup tie against Manchester City). All five of his Premier League cautions this season happened away from home.
Fortunate: Gerrard was lucky not to get booked, but are referees lenient towards him?
3 They say momentum is everything going into the play-offs – and if that' s the case they might as well hand Gus Poyet and Brighton a place in the Premier League now.
The 2-0 win over Wolves made it 19 points from the last 10 games for the Seagulls who have not lost in nine matches.
Meanwhile the other sides involved are in relegation form – Watford have taken just 11 points from their last 10, Leicester one fewer, and Crystal Palace a measly eight.
Momentum: Of all the sides in the play-offs, Gus Poyet's Brighton have most of the momentum
4 Gareth Bale's latest piece of brilliance that sunk Southampton underlined why he won all the individual awards.
Reaching 20 Premier League goals for the season is all the more remarkable for a man who has played mostly in midfield. Only one of them, the early effort at Wigan a week ago, came from less than 10 yards from goal, while seven have been scored from 20 yards or more.
In contrast Robin Van Persie, who looks certain to win the Golden Boot, has picked up 10 from inside 10 yards and only two, the spectacular volley against Aston Villa in the hat-trick that clinched the title plus his last minute free kick against Manchester City, from more than 20.
Solo: Bale proved again why is he Player of the Year with a superb winner against former club Southampton
5 You can't argue with Lukas Podolski's goalscoring record at international level – 44 in 108 games for Germany – but the 27-year-old still hasn't quite settled to the physical demands of the English game.
He still needs one more to reach double figures for Premier League goals but was taken off five minutes from the end at Queens Park Rangers.
That's 21 times he's been subbed this season out of 23 starts. At least it's not quite as bad as Steed Malbranque who was dragged off 26 times by Sunderland boss Steve Bruce in 2009-10 – and that after getting the hook 22 times the year before.
Catch up: Podolski is struggling with the physical side of the English game
6 Sean O'Driscoll is clearly facing a massive task to turn round Bristol City – their 4-1 defeat at Charlton made it just two points from the last 27 available with 19 goals conceded in that time.
As if that isn't bad enough the club's owner Steve Lansdown has warned they will have to take some £10million off their wage bill – currently around £17m a year - to comply with the salary cap regulations for League One.
No wonder O'Driscoll, 55, got so upset with the Ashton Gate stadium DJ who played 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' after relegation was confirmed against Birmingham two weeks ago.
Down: Sean O'Driscoll is facing tough times at Bristol City after relegation to League One
7 Gabby Agbonlahor's two goals at Norwich kept up an amazing run in 2013 for Paul Lambert's team.
Since the start of 2013 they've now scored 29 Premier League goals – the same as Manchester United, one more than Arsenal, four better than Tottenham and seven more than Manchester City.
And in Europe's top five leagues only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have got more since January 1 than Christian Benteke's 13.
All of which is just as well for Villa because they still can't defend – it is now 25 games in all competitions since they last kept a clean sheet.
Milking it: Villa again failed to earn a clean sheet, but look in a good position to stay up
8 Brentford's players held a midweek team meeting to make sure there were no more recriminations after the drama of the missed penalty against Doncaster that cost them automatic promotion.
But it looks like manager Uwe Rossler hasn't forgiven his Fulham loanee Marcello Trotta for defying his orders by taking that kick.
The teenager was left out of the starting side for the play-off first leg at Swindon, and was still on the bench when Bees were awarded an added-time penalty. No arguments this time, then, as skipper Kevin O'Connor stepped up to hit the equaliser.
Dropped: Trotta was dropped for the draw at Swindon after his missed penalty last weekend
9 Most football fans dream they'd help out their club if their lottery numbers came up – Newport chairman Les Scadding has done exactly that.
The 63-year-old was out of work when he picked up £45m four years ago, and decided to use some of it to help out the local football club.
He got his reward yesterday when Christian Jolley and Aaron O'Connor goals against Wrexham at Wembley won the Blue Square Bet Premier play off final at Wembley and put the Welsh club into the Football League.
Manager Justin Edinburgh is already planning the signings needed to stay there, so just as well the owner has deep pockets.
Quick fix: Lottery winner Les Scadding (left) got a quick reward for investing into Newport County
10 Nathan Cameron was once hailed as a star of the future when Coventry picked him in the Championship at the age of 17 and England youth appearances followed.
The young defender's career suffered as the Sky Blues ran into financial troubles and relegation, and he was let go by boss Steven Pressley earlier this season – but was one of the stars for Northampton as they reached the League Two play-off finals at Cheltenham.
A bit of faith from the manager helps. Cobblers boss Aidy Boothroyd was the man who gave Cameron his debut back when he was in charge at the Ricoh Arena.
Clear: Nathan Cameron has a lot to thank Aidy Boothroyd for at Northampton

Queens Park Rangers have sacked manager Neil Warnock after a run of eight Premier League games without a win.The 63-year-old took charge at Loftus Road in March 2010 and led Rangers to promotion last season, but leaves with them lying 17th in the top flight.
A statement on the club website said: "The board's commitment to retaining our Premier League status ultimately led to this decision."
QPR'S RECENT LEAGUE FORMContinue reading the main story
- 2 Jan: QPR 1-2 v Norwich City
- 31 Dec: Arsenal 1-0 QPR
- 27 Dec: Swansea 1-1 QPR

- 18 Dec: QPR 0-2 Man Utd
- 10 Dec: Liverpool 1-0 QPR
- 3 Dec: QPR 1-1 v West Brom
- 26 Nov: Norwich 2-1 QPR
Former Manchester City, Fulham and Wales boss Mark Hughes is interested in the vacant post and is seen as an ideal candidate by the club, BBC Sport understands.
Warnock took charge of QPR with the club lying 20th in the Championship, and, after steering them away from relegation trouble, returned the club to the Premier League 14 months later.
Rangers made an encouraging start to life back in the top flight and, after a 3-2 win at Stoke on 19 November, sat ninth in the table.
However, without a win since, Warnock's side slipped towards the relegation zone and needed a last-minute equaliser from Heidar Helguson to avoid an FA Cup third-round defeat by League One side MK Dons on Saturday.
QPR's Malaysian owner and chairman Tony Fernandes said: "This decision has been made in the best interests of the club and I can assure everyone that this is not a decision that was made lightly.
AnalysisContinue reading the main story With just one win in their last 12 games the QPR board felt it was time for a change. Warnock took Rangers into the Premier League for the first time in 15 years but obviously the board doubted his ability to retain their top-flight status.
It's highly likely to be Mark Hughes who'll be offered the chance to keep QPR in the Premier League. As everybody knows, QPR have money to strengthen and it's interesting they've already targeted two players who've played under Hughes in Andrew Johnson and Chris Samba.
"Neil has acted with honesty, professionalism and integrity throughout his time at the club, and I would personally like to thank him for his significant contribution to QPR over the last 22 months."
Warnock, who left Crystal Palace to take charge of Rangers, added: "Obviously I'm very disappointed, but having achieved so much, I leave the club with a great sense of pride.
"The board at QPR are hugely ambitious and I wish them every success for the future."
Warnock, one of only 19 bosses to have taken charge of 1,000 domestic matches in England, began his managerial career at Gainsborough Trinity before leading Scarborough to the Football League and winning successive promotions with Notts County.
Promotions with Huddersfield and Plymouth were followed by spells in charge of Oldham and Bury, with Warnock taking control at hometown club Sheffield United in December 1999.
He led the Blades to semi-finals in the both the FA and League Cups and, after a play-off final defeat, promotion to the Premier League in 2006.

Despite returning Rangers to the top flight after a 15-year absence, pre-season speculation suggested Warnock may be replaced, with names including Marcelo Lippi and Claudio Ranieri linked with the role.
When vice-chairman Amit Bhatia left the club more rumours circulated before new owner Fernandes took charge and assured Warnock of his future.
The former Chesterfield and Rotherham player said he would retire at the age of 60 before changing his mind and has also previously suggested that the Rangers role would be his last in management.
Warnock added: "I have enjoyed my time here more than anywhere else and the QPR fans have been brilliant with me - they deserve success.
"My biggest regret is that the takeover didn't happen earlier, because that would have given me the opportunity to bring in the targets I'd pinpointed all last summer and probably given us a better chance to succeed in the Premier League.
"I've been involved in the game a long time and I will be spending the immediate future with my family and friends before deciding my next career move."

They say, "Love don't cost a thing," but a new study from GiftCards.com found that your relationship status can have a surprising influence on your finances. Researchers surveyed more than 1,000 single, coupled-up, and married women and men about what a typical date costs and how much they spend on special romantic occasions.
When it comes to spending, it's often considered more expensive to have an S.O. than to ride solo, but the study found that it was singles who spent the most on dating every month. They doled out an average of $146 per month, compared to $139 spent by those in relationships. Married couples actually spent the least of all demographics, with an average of $130 a month.
This finding was further reinforced by how much the amount each gender spent on their partner decreased as the length of their relationship increased. While men spent an average of $279 over the first six months of their relationship, that dropped to $148 by the third year. Comparatively, women spent $90 during the honeymoon phase and then only $58 by year three.
However, researchers found the opposite to be true when they assessed how much those surveyed spent on each individual date. Couples who tied the knot spared no expense on date night, averaging $54, while singletons dropped $43 per date. People in relationships doled out just $1 more, reporting an average of $44.
Not only can your relationship status affect your spending, but one interesting finding of the study showed how a person's financial investment in their relationship can determine where it's headed. While the study didn't take respondents' financial ability based on salary into account, the overall data suggests that, for special occasions, people spend more willingly on those they are likely to marry. For example, couples who spent $86 celebrating Valentine's Day were more likely to wed than those who spent $65.
Regardless of your relationship status, you don't have to be a Rockefeller to have a successful love life. At the core of all this financial investment in dates and special occasions is the intangible investment of time and effort — and that's truly priceless.

Have I mentioned that I love holidays? Because I really do. Halloween is one of my favorites! Who doesn't love dressing up, being silly, and eating candy? And there's so many great craft ideas- it was hard to choose just a few! I tried to pick some ideas that could work with a variety of ages, and I like crafts that have some real creativity built in. Don't be surprised if I post more Halloween crafts later. 🙂
Build a Monster Printables– For the younger ones, you can cut these out ahead of time and just let them glue away. For older ones, let them practice their cutting skills!
Masking Tape Mummies– This is especially great for the younger kiddos! If you need an easy project for a Halloween party, you can buy people shapes at education-supply stores so that you don't have to cut them all out yourself.
Pumpkin Rocks– These can be as simple or fancy as you like! Plus, it's a multi-day project. Go for a nature walk to find the perfect rocks, paint them, let them dry, then use black paint or black sharpies to put faces on them. These would look super cute on your front steps or by your front door on Halloween night!
Magnetic Jack-O-Lantern– This is a great activity to make ahead of time, then pull out whenever you are making dinner or doing something else that requires a kiddo to be busy for a little bit. Not really a craft for them so much as for you, but they'll get to have fun being creative again and again! By the way, magnetic sheets are awesome!
I'm sure there'll be more Halloween ideas soon!

A unanimous jury has selected Henning Larsen Architects as the winner of a competition for a new public space in Trondheim, Norway. The experienced design studio beat stiff competition from Danish and Norwegian practices to lead the project with a 'very convincing' concept. The jury explained their decision thus: "The front square has a unique location and design. The open, flexible reception and exhibition space by the entrance is especially successful - interacting with the front square, it provides a welcoming, embracing expression."
The successful design incorporates a new office building and separate cinema to the existing urban realm, with plans to construct a new public square on which the volumes will be located. Entitled 'Leütgens Kulturhage' (Leüthen's Cultural Garden) the scheme looks to bring new life into the heart of the city through sustainable building design and thriving open public spaces. The office building for Trondheim City will incorporate a number of meeting rooms for local cultural organisations, exhibition facilities and work spaces for 1,000 employees. These units will be anchored by a unifying inner atrium.
Peer Teglgaard Jeppesen, Design Director and Partner at Henning Larsen Architects details: "Daylight is one of the most important parameters of the design, both as regards sustainability and work environment. The atrium features a number of displaced floors, which create terraces and balconies and thus encourage informal meetings. The atrium increases the sense of community across the organisation - whether an employee or visitor, you contribute to the atmosphere in the building." The 39,000 sq m scheme is due to complete in 2015.

Brian Rowe was in the shower -- in Los Angeles -- when the call came Friday sending him to an MLS team. Earlier that day, some 2,000 miles away, Stefan Frei had
broken his leg training at Toronto's BMO Field. With its home opener Saturday, Toronto FC needed a backup goalie.
"I was in the shower and my agent called me three times in a row," said Rowe, the 23-year-old who had been working out in the morning with some former UCLA teammates. Rowe was taken in the January supplemental draft pick and later released by Chivas USA. He has since served as a designated "league pool goalkeeper."
He took the red-eye to Toronto that night for Saturday's 1 p.m. ET game against the visiting San Jose Earthquakes, who won 3-0 with Milos Kocic in the Toronto goal while Rowe was on the bench. Frei is expected to be out eight to 10 weeks with a broken fibula. While there is no time frame for Rowe's stay here, he says he'll do whatever is needed.
"I've been [living] out of my suitcase since I left for the Combine, which started about Jan. 2," said Rowe. "I've realized I can live on not too many clothes — just the bare essentials."

Street Art
- Murals Plaster Board Murals for installation in public spaces
- Cat-aloguing Cat painting (no real cats are used)
- Pavement Art Painting pavements (impermanently)
When we get involved in our public spaces and our communities they start to mean more to us. It is increasingly critical for us to invest in where we live, respecting and looking after it and each other. This is as true of our local environment as it is for our global environment. Our creative outings are an invitation to do exactly this; to connect with each other and our surroundings. Our street art work on West Derby Road as well as hiding decay and detritus has brought nature into our urban surroundings making where we live a more attractive and interesting place.
Painting or making is fun, it feels good to create and explore imaginations and ideas. It's feels good to play and there is no pressure to be Van Gogh. It's about the process and taking part whether that's making a mark or taking part in the commentary and conversations it provokes. Expressing ourselves, feeling the achievement of making things look better, of creating together something we can look back on and feel proud of.
Art should be welcoming and inclusive to everyone and ours is. So bring yourselves to any of the events we do, say hello and we can see about finding you a paintbrush.
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance"

Beneath the Volvo 940
The Volvo 940 is a part of the Swedish car maker�s line up of vehicles. Fact is, this vehicle is one of the last of the large rear wheel drive cars that is produced under the Volvo brand and name. In the United States and the rest of North America, the Volvo 940 made its way to public knowledge as a 1991 model. This series of vehicles were in essence just a style and design makeover of the Volvo 740. People claimed this was so because the drivetrains one found on the Volvo 940 is also what the Volvo 740 used. But not only that, for the Volvo 940 also has most features that the older vehicle had.

Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Ajax and Fenerbahce showed to be very equal during their last confrontation in the Europa League. Late in the second halve the Turkish team managed to beat Ajax 1-0 which brings Fenerbahce second on the table while Ajax is third. Only the first 2 teams will qualify for the knock out stage in the Europa League which puts a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the Dutch team. Ajax will have to beat Fenerbahce else their season in Europe will be over. Ajax is currently leader in the Dutch Eredivisie and is in decent form. We predict Ajax to beat the Turkish Fenerbahce with minimal difference. The Dutch team will keep hope to reach the knock out stage. Midfielder Davy Klaassen is a player big European teams need to keep an eye on.
Highlighted Player (Nani):
Nani is a product of Sporting CP's famous youth academy. The pacey winger played 58 games for the capital club in Primeira Liga, scoring nine goals and in 2007 he joined Premier League side Manchester United. He signed a five-year deal with the Old Trafford outfit for a fee of €25.5 million.
He joined his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo at Man Utd and it has to be noted that Nani he spent eight seasons at the club. In 2014 he returned to Sporting (loan) and at the end of the 2014/2015 Primeira Liga campaign he moved to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
In 2016 he signed a three-year deal with Valencia for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, Nani did remarkably well to win the 2016 European Championship trophy with Portugal and it has to be noted that he started against France in the title game. The Portuguese winger won the 2007/2008 Champions League trophy with Manchester United.

There's something wrong with me.
I have a job. And it's a busy job. It's getting busier. Teaching is never easy, but each semester it seems there's more to do and I have less energy for the doing of it, or at least some of the doing of it. Increasingly these days--ask any teacher at the university level--it's more and more about the business of the "managed" corporate university and less and less about the students and teaching.
But I digress. (Stop me before I start to scream again about the state of the CSU!)
Today I'm back, the grades are handed in ("submitted" [online] nowadays), and the blog can go on.
Go on about what?
The RJA season has ended. The Fly show, which I completely missed here at "Bright Moments," was another awesome show. It has come and gone. We are negotiating among ourselves about whom to ask for next year (and my goodness GRACIOUS do we have some great shows next season) . . .
Meanwhile, here's something we're doing in conjunction with new friends and sponsors at the new record shop in town, "Missing Links." More about them soon.

"No Zion, No cry"
by Moshe Dann
Exiled Jews used to ask "How can we sing a song of the Lord on alien soil?" But Larry Tye says Diaspora Jews have plenty to rejoice about.
Larry Tye, a medical correspondent at the Boston Globe, has written a fascinating account of seven cities that he believes represent the revival of Judaism in the Diaspora: Dusseldorf, Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine), Boston, Buenos Aires, Dublin, Paris, and Atlanta.
Each city's history is presented in the context of the culture in which it has developed, spiced with delightful anecdotal interviews that give the narrative an easy yet exciting flavor. Tye demonstrates that the Diaspora centers he visited are vibrant and creative, and have "more in common with one another than with the Jewish state as they search for spiritual and religious meaning in a largely non-Jewish world."
Tye's inquiry was motivated by his own quest for identity as a Diaspora Jew. Coming from an assimilated family with little knowledge or experience of Judaism, his journalistic curiosity prompted questions about the future of such communities. Do Jews share a common bond throughout the world? Where does he fit in? And how does the existence of the State of Israel affect the Jewish world today?
His conclusion is no surprise, given his perspective. Tye finds these Jewish communities not only enduring, but also blossoming and playing an integral part in their adopted cultures.
The major issues — assimilation, intermarriage and anti-Semitism — are, for Tye, only part of a larger picture. These communities, he discovers, share an energy and vitality, and "each had some seminal event that sparked a reawakening," such as the influx of new immigrants, or an attack on the community itself.
Tye weaves his stories into an exciting tapestry with enthusiasm. "At the very moment when Jews have more freedom than ever to assimilate in secular society, more of them than ever are reconnecting to their Jewish culture and faith."
In describing this phenomenon, Tye offers a real message of hope.
His sense of optimism, however, is problematic, for even as Jews struggle to maintain their identity in host cultures, one cannot dismiss the rate at which Jews are abandoning their faith. In North America the intermarriage rate is estimated to be more than 50%, and in some cities, like Denver, it is at least 75%.
Moreover, Tye's neglect of outreach campaigns, such as the creative efforts by the orthodox Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education, is disturbing. He does not seem to appreciate the magnitude that the intermarriage crisis presents to the Jewish world because of the break with Judaism that usually follows.
Tye's lack of appreciation for the centrality of Zionism, although discussed in his introduction and in a short epilogue, is most glaring. In an effort to boost the status of Diaspora Jews, he has denied a fundamental relationship that has sustained both communities and is grounded in both Jewish history and prayer.
Tye's ambivalence about Israel is apparent, and perhaps natural. There is certainly enough to complain about. Many visitors are put off by what Tye notes as Israeli "arrogance" and "insolence," "a source of pride but not necessarily a place to send their dollars or their children."
But what Tye and so many others fail to acknowledge is Israel's role in history.
Put simply, Israel's existence is critical to Jews everywhere; the loss of a Jewish community — no matter how cherished — almost anywhere else in the world is not.
Tye's failure to find meaning in the re-birth of Israel and the historic process of Ingathering, as well as his negation of the centrality of Israel, casts a long shadow over this work.
There can be a "partnership of equals," as Tye suggests. In today's world, no matter where we live, we all need and can learn from each other. Strong links between Jews living in Israel and those living in the Diaspora are essential to both parties. But in terms of Jewish continuity, it is Israel that truly matters, not Boston, Paris or Dusseldorf.
Jews may live in many lands, but there is and always has been only one homeland. If we don't appreciate it, if we don't prioritize scarce Jewish resources for its preservation — we'll lose it.
