It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty...
In 1990, Chris McCandless graduated from Emory University and, instead of pursuing a career, he burned all his money, changed his name and vanished to experience life in the wild. During this time, he hiked a lot, met a lot of people who made an impact in his life and also who were influenced by him, became close friends with a person who treated him as if he were his own son, went to Alaska with the full intention of living a sustainable life, without company or external influences, and eventually died when he made a fatal mistake.
I picked the audio version of Into The Wild to listen to in my car, after having a memorable time with the author's Into Thin Air. Into The Wild was a little less intriguing but it was still fascinating and, for the most part, I found it a revelation. That said, I had a contrasting reaction as well - that of anger - aimed at the protagonist, for multiple reasons.
Chris was an idealist. I like idealists. I think we need a few more of those (but not too many) in this world where people can be terribly pessimistic. He was also a thinker. Krakauer quoted many of his phrases from letters, diary entries and conversations with people that they alternately fogged my eyes over and made me go "Oh! That's brilliant!". Chris was also a stubborn arrogant fool. Forgive my being so crude on a dead person, but really Chris - couldn't you for once, call your family? Did you ever pause to think the effect that your actions could have on them? Did you really believe that if anything happened to you, they will be able to shrug it away easily? Each time, he went on and on about how his father is an <expletive> and how angry he is that his parents think they can pay him to do what they want, it made me very angry. Maybe if he hadn't died, I would not have been so upset with him. But knowing about how he hadn't contacted his parents in two years and how he refused everyone's advice that the Alaskan bush is probably not a great place for inexperienced campers, I just couldn't forgive him. Although the author considerably sided with McCandless (but not entirely), due in part to really understanding him (because of similar experiences), I was mostly on the side of the many people who poured in their angry opinions against McCandless.
I totally understand the idealist fervor that grips almost every young person. I went through a phase myself when I thought I could do anything and that I was invincible. At some point, it dawned on me that I was nowhere close. That's probably what coming-of-age means. Chris, being an insufferable young adult who believed that nothing could touch him, even in freezing uninhabited wild parts of the world, had lots of ideas and opinions. I didn't agree with him on some, but he was passionate and he had sound arguments for his stance. Even when he died, it was not really ignorance that did him in, but a mistake that anyone could have made because research indicated that what killed him was really not deadly. Despite all this, my thoughts stayed with his family. I cannot imagine how they could ever get closure for the death of a son who never loved them well and yearned to get away from them.
Into The Wild made me very angry but I'm thankful for it. As in Into Thin Air, Krakauer's research is impressive. He dug out every single aspect of this man's life - and analyzed it as well as he could. He didn't hesitate to present harsh opinions from people who responded to the article Krakauer first wrote about McCandless' death. When I started listening to this book, I didn't expect to understand the protagonist well. But Krakauer talked about a lot other people who had similar aspirations - to live minimally out in the woods - many failed, some succeeded. Almost every one of them ended up depressed or lonely. I know I could never take up anyone's dare to live like McCandless did and I do have immense respect for him and others who tried to live that life. Like Krakauer quoted one of McCandless' friends, he was just born in the wrong century. His desire to live like the people from many centuries ago - on the land and without a map - was hard to emulate in today's world, not just because of how attuned we are today to the more accessible way of life but also because it is hard to escape from all the information around us. There's also the issue of what we can confidently eat in the wild - which is what eventually killed McCandless.
On the whole, I found Into The Wild highly interesting. Although some of the philosophical meanderings bored me, they did leave me thoughtful and conversing to myself in the car. I cannot say that the narrator of this audiobook, Philip Franklin, did a great job though. He wasn't terrible, or else I would not have finished the book at all, but it took a while to get used to him. Krakauer has cemented himself in my mind as an author I must follow, not just for the great adventurous stories he shares but also because of how well he researches his subjects.
I borrowed this audiobook from the good old library.

As social networks go, MySpace and Facebook have been getting all the love lately. What many people (um, Americans with their heads in the sand) don't know is that many social networks are thriving. Some, well beyond our borders. San Francisco based Friendster.com was one of the first out of the gate. Then MySpace came to the party, quickly building a 100+ Million user base on the backs of artists and record labels. Many Internet analysts considered Friendster dead in the water. But, as the company's cited 53 Million registered user base shows, there's gold in those hills. No, not the hills you or I might trudge over in the good'ol U.S. of A. I'm talking about the hills of Asia, where Friendster is the #1 social networking destination. Let's not forget the rest of the world, where it makes the Top Ten and is widely considered to be the overall #3 or #4 online community (depending on who's counting). Bebo.com is #1 in the U.K. Can you guess where they are? San Francisco, of course!
While the social networks were building their platforms for users to communicate with each other, post party invites, send updates, expand their social circles and of course flirt until the wee hours of the morning, hundreds of third-party developers like Slide.com figured out ways to give these users tools to add photos, music, video, games and other oddball and off-the-wall stuff to their profiles. As more applications were created by rag-tag groups of developers, social networks were inundated. Not only were these applications useful to add content, many found ways to completely hack the system and redesign their profile pages. So much so, all that was left was the main sites navigation bar.
Just like Microsoft's Windows, the world's most popular operating system, is constantly challenged by hackers, MySpace became the defacto repository for many of these third party hacks, applications and solutions. A few worked pretty well, while other slowed down the load times of MySpace profile pages and created a chaos unseen in the Internet space since AOL and Geocities allowed users to create their own rudimentary Web pages. Remember that?
Before Facebook created FBML, many social networks were trying to restrict the use of the third party applications. After FBML, that strategy seems to have changed completely. Friendster, among others, quickly realized that inaction could mean losing users to other networks. In an odd reversal of fortune, 3rd party developers who created applications for one network faced a critical issue: if you build it for one, you have to build it for all. If each social network crafted a proprietary API, it would be a nightmare to create applications for all. A widget (a mini-application that can be embedded in any Web site, blog, or social network) would have to make sure the application built for MySpace could talk a sister application for Hi5 and both could be fed information from the parent database. Now that there are social networks for everything from music to sex, developers would have to choose carefully which ones to support and which ones to ignore. Of course, on the fast moving Web, dominating real estate is critical. Making a decision to support one network over another could be costly. The question then became: who would create the system for developers to use one API globally, across all Web sites? Well, Google…of course!
Recognizing that there was a need to create a development language that would work across all social networks, Google quietly set out to develop Open Social, a tool set of sorts developers could adopt that would allow for the creation of widgets and other mini-applications that would be write once and read everywhere. When I say, write once, I mean create one product (application) using the Open Social API. Read everywhere means it will work in any Web site, blog or social network that adopts and promotes use of Google's toolset.
Now, Google wouldn't do this if they didn't go out and drum up support for the project from competitors of Facebook, like Friendster, MySpace, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Hi5 and many more. These companies quickly realized, by creating their own proprietary API's like Facebook had done, might stifle innovation and slow growth of their networks. Using one common standard would be beneficial to all. Cross compatibility will be one of the key drivers of this movement toward an open set of standards.
So, now the fun begins! Friendster, who I'm picking because my friend Jeff is a marketing lackey there (hey Jeff!…just kidding), quickly adopted Open Social and recently announced the release of its first set of instructions for developers to tap into and start building applications.
According to Friendster's recent press release, which Jeff so kindly furnished and I'll provide here word for word:
The Friendster Developer Program is designed to provide developers with several key features/benefits including:
- Freedom to Monetize Applications – Developers can monetize their applications using virtually any model for monetization, and no revenue share with Friendster is required. Unlike other social networks, ads and monetization will be allowed anywhere in the application and are not restricted to rarely-used detail or configuration pages.
- Open Platform – The Friendster Developer Program includes APIs compatible with those used throughout the industry. As a result, existing applications on other social networks can easily be imported to Friendster. And, existing flash or HTML widgets/applications used on other social networks are also supported on Friendster without requiring developers to invest effort to modify their design or user experience. Additionally, when the OpenSocial APIs are completed and secure, Friendster will support OpenSocial APIs, allowing OpenSocial applications to be used with Friendster.
- Equal Opportunity – Friendster released its developer program documentation, testing environment and schedule in advance to provide equal opportunity for developers around the world to compete for mindshare and adoption by Friendster's more than 56 million users. Since that announcement on October 25, developers have had over one month to plan, build and integrate their widgets and applications with Friendster for inclusion in today's launch.
Friendster users can discover new applications through several existing Friendster features including:
- Directory – All applications will be listed in a directory located at https://www.friendster.com/widgetdirectory and grouped by category.
- "My Network Activity†Module – When a user adds an application, this event will appear in the "My Network Activity†module (that summarizes a user's activity for their friends in the network), which will virally promote a given application to the user's friends.
- Forward to Friend – Members can share a new application with their friends using a number of Friendster's features, such as: Messages, Bulletins, Comments, Shoutouts, and more.
- Browsing Profile Pages – Users browsing other profile pages can discover new applications and "grab†and configure them for their own profile page.
- Fan Profiles – Most developers have a Friendster Fan Profile page to further promote their applications to Friendster users and to maintain an ongoing dialog with their fans to announce enhancements and new applications, and soliciting feedback. (See www.friendster.com/fanprofiles for more information.)
I hope this entree' into the world of Google's Open Social API and how Friendster has quickly adopted the tool set to expand its offerings will give you, the reader, some indication of how social networks are turning the tables by opening their networks to open source development. In the past, companies like AOL and Yahoo! had been hesitant to allow third party developers to build applications for their services. By opening up their platforms, Open Social participants are hoping to challenge the notion of the closed network and grow their businesses without having to invest a ton of resources to do so. It will be interesting to see what DJ communities and Web sites adopt Open Social in the future.

Who Makes This About Race?
Source: Dusty Inman
Chip Rogers defends immigration enforcementIt is people like this professor, by his sheer unwillingness to see beyond race, who make this more and more likely...
MARIETTA - State Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) said Friday that his Immigration Compliance Act, which takes effect July 1, is not new law but reinforces federal laws already on the books.
"I find it somewhat puzzling that Congress seems to be caught up in immigration reform," he said, adding that Congress has yet to enforce its existing immigration laws.
"It is not simply a federal issue," Rogers told a crowd gathered for Kennesaw State University's Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice Suburban Conference. "The states are the ones that have to deal with this problem."
Rogers said his immigration act, passed during the 2006 legislative session, tackles immigration enforcement at every level, from employment policies to law enforcement and state and federal benefits eligibility.
"This impacts (immigration enforcement) through every area," he said. "No other state has passed the comprehensive bill like we did."
Rogers said the act mandates that state agencies verify employees' immigration status through an Internet-based Basic Pilot Program, as well as verification of employers with state contracts.
People who apply for state and federal benefits like welfare also will be checked using the Systematic Alienation Verification Entitlement program to determine their citizenship status.
Rogers said Georgia State Patrol officers will be certified in immigration law training and people accused of felonies and drunken driving would be checked for deportation alerts.
"You need to come here legally," Rogers said.
Dr. Ernesto Silva of the University Department of Foreign Languages said he came to the United States 20 years ago from Peru.
Now a legal U.S. citizen, Silva said he is concerned that enforcement of this magnitude would breed resentment among the up-and-coming generation of Latinos.
He said through increased law enforcement, parents could be deported from their children who are legal, naturalized American citizens, and foster anger among young Latinos affected, making it less likely for them to assimilate and embrace American culture.
"Immigrants are being criminalized," (ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS -- ed, sheesh, this guys a professor?) he said. "They're afraid. This creates another issue."
Silva said there is too much focus on enforcement and deportation and not enough on helping illegal aliens become legal citizens.
"Most illegal immigrants come to work," he said. "I can see the fear in Latinos right now. They're being too harsh on a group of people who are quite vulnerable."
Rogers said the laws are not new or enhanced mandates, simply laws that have been on the federal books for some time that need to be enforced before more unused laws are passed.
He added the immigration act is not targeting Latinos or Hispanics, but illegal immigration.
"I don't care what color you are or religion you are," he said. "None of that matters."
But unyielding resistance from the newer immigrant groups, from business interests that exploited them, and from the traditionalists who feared any increase in the powers of government, blocked all action. The problem was allowed to fester and grow-until a wave of national hysteria brought into being a system that was extravagantly protective and demeaningly racist. Hispanic leaders, chambers of commerce, and civil libertarians should take note."Indeed!

Us sports nuts have been waiting since Saturday for the Dallas Mavericks-Miami Heat NBA Finals to start. Devoted Mavs fans have been waiting 26 years, actually. But for the rest of you Dallasites just now trendily hopping aboard the bandwagon (Hi, honey!), here's a neophyte primer to this really important sports thingie:
It's a championship series, not just one game. A team has to win four games to win the trophy. In other words, don't try to be cool and pick "Mavs in three" or "Heat in nine." And when--not if--the Mavs win Game 1, don't go buying the entire flock at Hotel Zaza celebratory shots, 'cuz it ain't over.
It's a series, not a Super Bowl. Don't kid yourself, there will be palpable electricity in the American Airlines Center tonight. But Paul McCartney won't be performing at halftime, and we won't be dissecting the TV commercials for weeks to come. Some celebs will be in the house, but mostly it's just really good basketball.
Not all games are played in an American Airlines hanger. Miami's arena is called AmericanAirlinesArena. It's one word, for some weird reason.
The Mavs' best player is Dirk Nowitzki, he's the long-haired blonde shooting long jump shots. Miami's best player is Shaquille O'Neal, he's the giant dunking the ball through the hoop with such force you'll want to run for the exits.
The old guy with the slicked-back hair near Miami's bench is Heat coach Pat Riley. The guy with the soup-bowl haircut in the Mavs huddle is owner Mark Cuban. The guy yelling like his pants are on fire is P.A. announcer Billy Hayes. Don't worry, he's been that excited since the first game of the season. In October.
The game is played in four quarters. Really long shots are worth three points. And...

Pro 6:6-8 (KJV) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
A common excuse for 'coasting' in life thereby abandoning our life's dreams and aspirations is the absence of external motivation, which rather sadly, we may never get!
…when the desire for external motivation becomes a NEED or a Critical Success Factor, then we become sluggards and slow down with respect to our life's visions!
The truth is that while we all would truly perform a lot better with a pat on the back, we don't compulsorily need an advocate to bring our dream to fruition.
Paraphrasing the Preacher in our today's text, when the desire for external motivation becomes a NEED or a Critical Success Factor, then we become sluggards and slow down with respect to our life's visions!
The ant is one of the seemingly most insignificant insects, having no strength, mentor, governor, supervisor, advisor, advocate nor 'fan' whatsoever. Yet, it does not despise itself nor wait for any external motivation to do what it has to do. Guess it would have been extinct by now if it did!
Do not allow the greatness in you to go into extinction. Learn from the ant, give yourself the required PUSH and start working it out today!
Lord, each time I get discouraged and lose the motivation to continue with the pursuit of my life's passions because I do not get the required help and support from people I look to, please help me to remember the ant and to rely on You for the PUSH I need to work it out. Amen.

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Seven Wonders."
Let me start by saying how much I love words. In fact, in my very first post, I said that words were my best friends. I have great admiration for literature and languages. I try to memorize a new word whenever I come across one; latest these days- 'soporific'. Ok ok, I'm going to ignore all you geniuses who already knew that one and don't consider this an achievement 😛 But I didn't and now I am anxiously waiting for an opportunity to very casually let it slip out in a conversation, like I have been using this word all my life, and watch the expression on my audience's faces- are they trying to decipher what I just said, are they impressed that I knew the word, or do they really just tune me out and are blissfully clueless! I do talk a lot so it wouldn't surprise me if there are people who tune me out from time to time, or all the time (Scotty for one, wink wink). And I guess that makes for my second-ever shout-out 😀
Well then, that was way more than seven words 😉 So having said that, I most certainly wouldn't condone doing away with all the glorious words and keeping just seven. But let's save them for literature, for books, and for a thoroughly engaging conversation. We don't need big words, or a lot of words, to build relationships. So here are my favorites, and why. By-the-way, pronouns, prepositions and conjunctions are not real words, they are the infrastructure required to build a sentence using words. Let's start then:
I LOVE you: not to sound cheesy, but we really need to say that more often. Thanks to pop culture, love has become somewhat of a supernatural phenomenon; It is not! If someone consistently puts a smile on your face and makes you feel appreciated, it's ok to love them for that. It doesn't mean you have to jump in to bed with them, or die for them, or you know, 'catch a grenade' for them 😉 So don't overthink it, please!
I am SORRY: I like to think that most normal people have a conscience and an inherent sense of good and bad. When they make a mistake, they are aware of it and they feel bad about it. But most people are also too proud to admit when they are wrong. There is no shame in apologizing for your mistake. It's not a sign of weakness, in fact, it takes a lot of courage to say those 3 little words. So please, apologize more, it makes you human!
I FORGIVE you: on the same token, learn to forgive people. Holding grudges is not going to bring you peace, and it certainly won't help the other person. The simple fact that they asked for your forgiveness shows that they are suffering at the hands of their own conscience, why add to it, why not heal it. So be more generous with your forgiveness. Yes, there will be people who will say a sorry that they don't mean, but guess what, they are the ones carrying the baggage, not you.
THANK-YOU: it's quite a no-brainer really! And don't just say it, mean it too. Gratitude and humility go a long way.
PLEASE: all right, I went to a convent school; sorry, please and thank you were part of more or less every sentence that we spoke. But I didn't just speak them, I saw value in them, still do and so even today I use them generously and sincerely. There is nothing wrong with being polite. I'd rather be un-cool than rude 🙂
I TRUST you: it's a shame we live in such a paranoid world. People don't trust each other. I don't remember where I read this, but someone made a good point that we teach our children to be wary of the unknown, to be suspicious of strangers, to doubt everything that is not familiar. It is a dangerous world out there I agree, but really we are just smothering their curiosity and setting the stage for an insecure adulthood. It may be a feeble example, but the movie The Croods is sorta like that. Of course, excess of everything is bad so I am not saying we should all be naive, accepting candy from strangers, but wisdom is not the same as paranoia. Let your guard down from time to time and trust people more, you might be pleasantly surprised!
CHEERS: yep, nothing like sharing a drink, with friends, with family, and even with strangers! Share a drink, celebrate, raise a toast to all that you cherish. Life is short but plentiful, depends on what you are seeking. If you like to worry, trust me, life will give you more than you can ask for! But if you like to be happy, life gives plenty of that too, all you need is a little attitude-adjustment, and alcohol is known to help with that 😉 So forget words and just enjoy that drink. But hey, drink responsibly, and don't drink and drive 😀
So those are my favorite seven. It may sound like a Sunday-school lecture, but I am an old soul, I can't help it. Those are indeed my genuine sentiments.

Robert Maurer, PhD, is a consultant – to corporations, hospitals, universities, theater companies, spas, even the British government – on the technique of kaizen.
In his article 'Thinking big' could be making you FAIL!, he writes about this strategy of taking small steps:
"If someone was looking to break out of a career rut, I advised him or her to write out weekly, monthly, annual, and long-range goals, and so on.
"But when client after client came back to me frustrated, dejected, and overwhelmed with guilt because they hadn't been able to stick to their plan — and had consequently "failed" to achieve what they had set out to do — I began to question the standard approaches to personal change… and to look for a different way. I found it in an extraordinary Japanese principle known as kaizen."
Bonnie Nijst, President of National Association of Women Business Owners, Los Angeles, advised some ways to use this approach in an article ["Firm resolutions from local pros" by Cyndia Zwahlen, Los Angeles Times Dec 27 2006]:
"Take small steps that can make a big difference for one's business. 'It's less of a thing to do than a frame of mind and a way of approaching things,' Nijst said.
"She has learned, for example, to take incremental action on everything that comes across her desk, rather than just stick most of it into piles. The goal is 'to keep it moving forward,' Nijst said.
Dr. Maurer explains, "The secret to kaizen's power is the fact that it engages the brain in a completely different, much smarter, and infinitely more effective way than innovation does."
In addition to the article, he describes how to use this approach in his book The Spirit of Kaizen: Creating Lasting Excellence One Small Step at a Time.

Hi Madbunny: Just wondering if it would be alright to post a new threed in the general section and call it, Interview the person below you! It's pretty simple...but hopefully fun. Or as I'm new to the forum thing you might like to start it.
Works like this
Post a general question, then someone answers it and posts another and so on. The questions can be anything from trivial to serious to obscure.
For example, you can ask whatever you want:
- What's your worst/best memory of high school and why?
- What was your favorite pet you had as a child and why?
- If you knew today was your last day on Earth, how would you spend it and why?
- What is the most rewarding experience you have had and what made it so?
- Who or what inspires you and why?
So to the person below me:
Q: What's your worst/best memory of high school and why?

Elizabeth and her family commence curb stomping Warwick, until he finally starts to seriously fight back; Lady Margaret Beaufort starts bringing the crazy hardcore
Episode 3: Are You There, God?

Episode 4: Flip-Flopper
Warwick just loses his mind and decides to ally with his former mortal enemy, Margaret of Anjou, and undo all the work he did putting Edward on the throne. His latest attack sends Edward fleeing to France and Elizabeth fleeing to the sanctuary of Westminster Abbey, where she finally births a son.

Episode 5: No More Parades
Chris endures the hell of life at the Front before returning home to a different sort of hell: his wife.
Parts 1-3
We've got snotty rich people, entitled middle-class people, and hopeful (and also curiously entitled) poor people, all jamming onto the tragic ship, trailing dramas and emotional baggage but sadly leaving their personalities behind.
Part 4
The ship sinks; some live, some die. Stupid historical mistakes nearly make me rip my hair out.
Great Expectations
Part I
Pip's recruited by the local crazy lady to entertain her nasty adopted daughter, Estella. He crushes on her a bit, then grows up and comes into a mysterious inheritance.
Part II
Pip hits London and proceeds to screw up just about everything. He also falls in love with Estella, pretty much because the plot says so, and finds out his benefactor isn't who he thought it was.
Oliver Twist
Part I
Young Oliver wants more, and when he asks for it, he unwittingly sets forth on a trip through London's seedy underbelly and more genteel side, while more than a few creepsters try to kill him.

John's sent to Europe, where he proves just how unsuited he is to the role of diplomat
Part IV: Reunion
John and Abigail reunite and spend a few years at European courts before returning home to their grown children and new estate next to their old farm. Soon after, John's elected vice president.
Part IV: Unite or Die
John finds out that the office of vice president is totally thankless and only puts him in conflict with Jefferson. But then he gets elected president, so maybe things are looking up.
Part V: Unnecessary War
Turns out, being president kind of sucks too, especially when your own VP and cabinet aren't supporting you, and your family's falling apart.
Part VI: Peacefield
John enjoys retirement about as well as you'd expect him to–which is to say, not much at all. He does get to see his son become president, and he buries the hatchet with Jefferson, but he also watches his wife and daughter die, and it's sad.
South Riding
Part I: The Schoolmarm Cometh
Sarah Burton arrives in South Riding to be the school's new headmistress, and immediately puts several noses out of joint.
Part II: So Sorry
Lydia loses her mom, which is a major setback in her education. Sarah and Robert are predictably falling for each other, but he's still carrying a lot of guilt over his wife's insanity (caused by him, in a sense).
Part III: Bad Romance
Sarah acts, by turns, like a pathetic, needy Jane Eyre wannabe and like a clueless and condescending cow to Lydia's family. There's more nonsense about the council estate, but do any of us really care anymore?
Mildred Pierce
Parts I & II
In Depression-era California, housewife Mildred kicks her husband to the curb and discovers that she actually needs to get a job to have money.
Part III
Mildred opens her restaurant, which is a success, Veda gets more hateful, and Monty starts a rather inappropriate relationship with Mildred's daughter

Mildred finally reaches the end of her rope with Veda and kicks her out of the house. Once on her own, Veda magically becomes a highly talented soprano.
Part V
Mildred hooks back up with Monty, reconciles with Veda, moves to Pasadena, and experiences a spectacular crash-and-burn.

MILWAUKEE — She can rouse a crowd as she did here this week, connect with women and drive turnout among African-American voters. Yet despite the nail-biting closeness of state contests to decide which party will control the Senate, Michelle Obama has been largely absent from the campaign trail so far.
She has her reasons, Democrats say: Mrs. Obama hates to be away from her daughters. She loathes Washington's toxic politics. She resents Republicans for their opposition to her husband's agenda. But she also believes some Senate Democrats have been insufficiently supportive of her own efforts to end childhood obesity.
This month, though, Mrs. Obama is emerging to rally voters, mostly, it seems, on behalf of candidates for governor. On Friday, she was in Maine and Massachusetts for rallies, and later she will return to Wisconsin for another voter-mobilization event like the one she led here on Monday.
But unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as first lady crisscrossed the country for Democrats in 1998, visiting about 20 states, Mrs. Obama will keep to a fairly limited path. In a measure of how deeply unpopular her husband is in Republican-leaning battleground states, Democratic Senate candidates there worry that Mrs. Obama's presence would tie them too closely to the president they are trying to distance themselves from, just as undecided voters are making up their minds.
"She's awesome, but it just brings in the name Obama," said a Democratic strategist in a state with a close Senate race, who, like most other Democrats interviewed, declined to be identified discussing politics involving Mrs. Obama.
Last month, the only candidate Mrs. Obama campaigned for was Michelle Nunn, who will need a larger-than-usual turnout of African-American and female voters to win Georgia's open Senate seat. Mrs. Obama has no plans to go to Arkansas, Louisiana or North Carolina, three of the states with the most competitive races that will decide whether Democrats hold their Senate majority. She will, however, lead a rally on Oct. 23 in Colorado for Mark Udall, the embattled incumbent senator.
In downtown Milwaukee this week, as a couple of thousand people lined up outside a convention center hours ahead of Mrs. Obama's appearance, campaign workers for Mary Burke, the Democratic candidate for governor, mingled among them with clipboards and computer tablets. They were seeking to capitalize on the first lady's drawing power by enlisting volunteers and encouraging early voting.
"The biggest fear of the Republican Party is high turnout," said Joan Zeiger, 71, wearing a union T-shirt. So how does Mrs. Obama help? "She's black, she's a woman, and we think that's a double-whammy."
Polls show that more than 60 percent of Americans approve of Mrs. Obama's performance as first lady. That is roughly 20 points higher than the approval rating for her husband, who, not coincidentally, has done almost no public campaign events with candidates, only private fund-raisers.
Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, a Democratic Senate leader, likened Mrs. Obama to Mrs. Clinton in the 1998 midterm campaign, calling her "a great weapon for us."
There are parallels between the Democratic first ladies in their turns as campaign closers — but significant differences as well.
During the 1998 midterms, President Bill Clinton, like President Obama now, was shunned by many Democratic candidates (Mr. Clinton faced impeachment at the time). In September, Mrs. Clinton shook off her fury at her husband's philandering and went on the road, gaining popularity for her resilience and becoming "a one-woman campaign machine" by one newspaper's account, the "Democrats' ace" by another's, and "the hottest politician in the land," according to a third (which also noted that she was not on any ballot "and probably never will be").
But the battleground states that year were not so skewed toward Republicans as they are now, giving Mrs. Clinton more political room to roam. And she was far more politically active than Mrs. Obama, or most other first ladies: Two years later, Mrs. Clinton would make her own successful bid to become a senator from New York.
As for Mrs. Obama, "In this cycle there has not been a request that she has not met," said M. C. González Noguera, her communications director.
"She understands the importance of the midterms, and she also understands the reality that voter turnout during the midterms tends to be lower," Ms. González Noguera said. "She sees her role in these midterms as one of the key people in this administration who is out there getting people to organize and vote."
"When we stay home, they win," Mrs. Obama told her Milwaukee crowd. "They," of course, refers to Republicans, a word the first lady seems to avoid, as if it makes her sound too partisan.
Even in the South — especially there, some Democrats say — candidates in these final weeks of the campaign must weigh the need to remain apart from Mr. Obama against the allure of using Mrs. Obama to rally women, African-Americans and young people who typically vote only in presidential election years.
In some states where her husband is viewed negatively, Mrs. Obama can reach out to select audiences in another way — like the ads she recorded for Senator Kay Hagan that are set to run on radio stations in North Carolina with an African-American audience.
As she campaigns, Mrs. Obama avoids overtly partisan appeals. In that she is perhaps less like Mrs. Clinton and more like Laura Bush, who was also a more sought-after campaigner than her unpopular husband during midterm elections in 2006.
Last month, when Mrs. Obama was in Atlanta for the voter-registration rally with Ms. Nunn, the first lady held an educational event where she praised the wife of Georgia's Republican governor, Nathan Deal, a top Democratic target. In Milwaukee, Mrs. Obama never said the name of Ms. Burke's rival, Gov. Scott Walker, confining her remarks to affirmative reasons to elect Ms. Burke.
Besides Ms. Nunn and Mr. Udall, just two other Senate candidates so far are expected to get visits from Mrs. Obama: Representative Gary Peters of Michigan and Representative Bruce Braley of Iowa. Mrs. Obama has recorded radio ads for Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Mr. Peters.
Administration aides say the limited list has nothing to do with the fact that Mrs. Obama tangled privately with Senate Democrats for months, into the summer, for not doing more to halt Republican and food industry attempts to weaken the child nutrition and school lunch standards she has spearheaded. She was particularly angered when 11 Democrats from potato-growing states signed a letter by Republicans opposing the administration's exclusion of white potatoes from the foods that beneficiaries of the Women, Infants and Children program can buy.
While few of the Democratic signers are in re-election battles, they included Mr. Udall and Mr. Merkley, as well as Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, who leads the Senate Democrats' campaign committee.
Ultimately, Democrats say, Mrs. Obama understands the consequences if the party were to lose its Senate majority. She made that argument herself to voters last month in Atlanta.
Referring to Republicans — again without using the term — she said, "They've even tried to block the work I do on child obesity, and that's really saying something."

As we weather the storms riling our planet and turning humans against humans, religions against religions, let us keep these words of Brother Martin in our hearts — and think how we can apply them now: "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." I count Martin Luther King, Jr. a strong colleague. I met and spoke with him several times. I have a letter he sent me after I had chatted briefly with him about my decision to join the US Navy. I spoke briefly with him in Atlanta,GA, just before he received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. I had completed my Navy career and was, at the time, Associate Pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church in Detroit. My wife, Carolyn, and I were the only white members of the church. Louis Johnson, the pastor, and I had flown to Atlanta for the annual convention of the Progressive National Baptist Churches. Louis (in our church we called him PJ – Pastor Johnson) and I stayed together in Atlanta's finest downtown hotel — the first time a black man and a white man had ever shared a room there. I was the only white delegate at the conference. These memories and Brother Martin's words never fail to inspire me and give me courage, especially in difficult times like these.

When you hear the word bubble, the brain directs towards two thoughts. The first thought could arrive blinking in your head, thinking, "Whoa! A bubble means isolation from anything surrounding it." However, the second thought that will roar in your mind with "bubble" and "Brown Modelling Agency" in the same sentence, will most certainly be a positive thought. I am here to tell you why the second thought will lure and intrigue your interest in this rising modeling agency.
This agency started off known as "Wilhelmina Austin." Later, the company would merge with Heyman Talent South. As a result, this fusion became "The Brown Modeling Agency." Both of these agencies were jam-packed with talent,uniqueness,innovation, and creative thinking. Furthermore, this union created a massive foundation for the Texas area in the world of modeling. Another pivotal aspect to this strong agency is that it is located in a location where modeling agencies are few and far between. This gives all the aspiring models in that area hope that their dreams can come true. They not only get the chance to dance with their ambitions, they also are given a chance to work with an agency that was built in integrity. With a foundation like that, those models will thrive because they can believe in the company they will become a part of.
According to Market Wired, another positive attribute to this agency is that the owner, Justin Brown, is easy to relate to. He understands the full journey of an aspiring model. He began his path working at a modeling agency, while he was attending college. Therefore, he has been in the position that every model will start in a way that should give these young models a feeling of ease. The person they look up to is humble and understanding. As a matter of fact, the models get a sense of balanced harmony when viewing a list of items to bring to the initial visit to the agency. For Example, the agency gave a simple concise list of what to bring to the appointment. This list produces ease in the minds of these models. The list consists of: you bring yourself, a resume (if you have one), and pictures (these photos do not have to be professional). Incidentally, when the model who could not afford professional pictures realizes that he or she still has a chance at making their modeling dreams come true,that creates ripples of positivity. The positive flow between the models and the agency are bound to form an everlasting empire that will thrive and continue to inspire others. They will build bubbles filled with positive actions that produce a successful agency.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 20% of persons over 55 years of age have some kind of mental health concern or issue. The top mental health concerns for people over 55 include: 1) some form of anxiety disorder, 2) cognitive impairment (thinking and problem solving) and 3) some form of mood disorder such as depression, bipolar disorder etc. Older men are at higher risk for suicide than older women and younger men. The highest rate of suicide is among men 85 years and older. The rate is 45.21/100,000 as opposed to a rate of 11.01/100,000 for all ages.
Mental Health Information: Depression
It is important for people to know and understand that depression is not a normal part of the aging process. Just because someone is aging does not mean they will become depressed. Depression is a mental health disorder, not an aging disorder. An ageing individual, who is suffering with depression, may exhibit symptoms such as: physical complaints and ailments, complaints about mental health problems and exhibit a decrease in social interest and functioning.
Although it appears depression increases with the ageing process, acquiring depression as one ages is not inevitable. It has been found that 80% of cases of depression in the ageing population is treatable. This means that ageing people do not have to live with the mental health issue of depression. This is the crux of the problem though; depression is under-recognized in the aging population and thus it goes under-treated.
Mental Health Information: Depression and Medical Conditions
It is very common to find depression in the ageing population who have other health conditions and illness. Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and Parkinson's disease are often found to co-exist in aging persons who have depression. This seems to be logical because many ageing individuals have, or are trying to prevent ,these kinds of diseases. Unfortunately many health care professionals do not understand that depression is not a part of these conditions and illnesses, but a separate unique mental health issue in and of itself. The feeling that the symptoms of depression are a part of the medical condition is also widely held among aging individuals. This is often the reason why they do not seek help from qualified mental health professionals.
Not treating depression causes serious issues related to recovery and healing from medical conditions and illness. Untreated depression even has the potential to worsen the ultimate effect of other illnesses.
Aging and Mental Health: Depression or Memory Loss
Another complication of ageing and depression is determining whether a memory loss is related to the ageing process, to Alzheimer's disease or some form of dementia, or to depression. One of the classic symptoms of depression is having a problem with concentration. The inability to concentrate causes issues related to being able to focus, difficulty in making decisions and the ability to remember (memory).
Aging and Mental Health: How to Help
If you know an ageing person who is feeling helpless and hopeless, has lost interest in daily life and activities, is exhibiting a change in appetite and weight, sleeps more or less, is irritable or restless, has less energy, doesn't like themselves, is unable to concentrate and complains of aches and pains, you are looking depression in the face. Get them help.
