I am hoping that when I head back to work in September that this is how I'm feeling. I have a long to-do list this summer but I need a real kick in the butt if I plan to get anything done. I tell myself to start early, not waste any time, but I'm sure family visits, long walks with Beaufort, drinks with friends, good books and lazy beach days will interfere with those plans. But isn't that what summer is all about?
Regardless, I'm going ahead with good intentions! I hope to check off more than a few items off this list:
- fix up front porch
- tear out side flower bed
- mulch gardens
- paint dining room
- touch up trim
- create gallery wall in hallway

Game on
By Ivy Hillman '12
January 30, 2012
From 4 p.m. last Friday until 4 p.m. Sunday, a group of Bradley University students and alumni worked around the clock to develop a video game from start to finish. The team was one of some 50 around the world participating in Global Game Jam, an annual event that attracts professional developers, hobbyists and students with a passion for game design.
Bradley's team gathered in the Caterpillar Global Communications Center under the direction of organizer Monica McGill, assistant professor in the Department of Interactive Media. This was the first year Bradley has participated in the event, which gives students an opportunity to stretch their creativity in a non-graded application.
"This event gives any student in the computer game technology or the game design concentrations a chance to practice their passion in a fun, supportive environment," McGill said. "They encountered some of the challenges that may arise during game development and learned how to work through them."
A game review session Friday night gave students the opportunity to showcase games they created in Bradley classes last semester. The room was packed with students trying out each other's games. Many migrated toward senior Alex Miner's two entries.
"Pin Pong Ball" is a game Miner created for the Xbox Kinect system. It is a variation of the old-school 2D game "Pong," but with a 3D twist. The player stands in front of the screen and uses his or her hands to bat a ball back and forth against the computer. "RGBlaster" is a game Miner created for the iPad with the help of classmates Adam Zimmermann and Matt Vroman. The highly addictive application requires the player works to "blast" different colored invaders on the screen.
On the sidelines of the game review, the development team began brainstorming and outlining a plan for its mission – to create a game inspired by an ouroboros, an ancient image of a snake or dragon eating its own tail. The students and alumni discussed several ideas dealing with the cycle of life. In the end, the concept deemed most appropriate for the stipulated 48-hour development period won out.
The result is a game titled "Cyclic," in which a player starts as a caveman and can move forward or backward through time, depending on its own actions.
Senior Andrew Howell is credited with the sound; alumna Jes Schroeder and junior Mariah Donner were the artists; junior Nicole Werling, alumnus Shaun Greiner and senior Rob Braun did the coding; junior Julie Mohedano was the writer; and George Brown, chair of the Department of Theatre Arts, recorded the voicetrack.
McGill was pleased with the outcome of Bradley's inaugural Global Game Jam and plans to host the same event again next year, as well as similar game development opportunities during the fall.
"This was a fantastic event, especially for the first run," McGill said. "Anyone who loves games and wants to try their hand at creating a game can learn a lot in a short amount of time."

We are constantly working to share cool solutions with customers and have them available for demonstration. During CiscoLive London we unveiled our Transform Cloud Automation demo. This expands upon last year's Workload Mobility demo (linked here) where we leveraged Vblock, VPLEX and OTV to protect mission critical workloads. Many customers leverage Management and Orchestration tools and are demanding they have the same protection as clustered databases or e-mail environments. These administrative services are not traditionally designed to be highly available. Running them on Vblock protected by VPLEX enables rapid recovery from hardware outage and also lets application provisioned in the same environment to be protected.
This Video highlights the benefits of the solution and how it would be interacted with from an administrative point of view…
The video begins with Cisco's Intelligent Automation for Cloud portal. We build a custom workflow to provision VM's and allow the user to choose which data center the virtual application (vApp) will be provisioned in. The vApp is provisioned in vCloud Director, allowing for another layer of abstraction for multi-tenancy. vCloud provisions vApps onto a stretched cluster in a "gold tier" of service (denoted by the requester in the CIAC provisioning window). We also have a silver tier cluster which is not protected by VPLEX (not shown). Our stretched cluster is enabled by EMC VPLEX Metro (which VCE integrates as part of the Vblock solution) and Cisco OTV. EMC VPLEX is a hardware solution that takes a storage LUN and replicates it over distance and allows read/write access from two locations simultaneously. As shown in the diagram this requires two Vblocks and VPLEX clusters on each side with the same resources. Our demo has three ESXi hosts at each site with three 500GB DataStore LUNs. VPLEX sits in between the host and storage array, presenting and protecting these LUNs. Write operations by each host are synchronous, read operations are cached locally. VPLEX maintains data consistency during outage and rules can be defined for the system to react appropriately during an outage.
That covers the DataStore, but not the network. Network traffic such as vMotion and virtual machine IP address are tied to a specific IP address. Traditional data center design dictates unique IP address space based upon location. Cisco OTV on the Nexus 7000 series switch can extend layer 2 VLANs between multiple locations, based upon your needs and configuration. OTV is relatively simple to setup and has been designed to mitigate the WAN bandwidth consumed by only sending the Layer 2 traffic required. Details on OTV can be found here.
There is a lot of cool stuff going on with this demo, our focus is on the ease of use and management of the environment once it's in production. We plan on enhancing the demo throughout 2013 and would be happy to share.

Lockdown is upon us this Sunday and expectations run high at TNA for a PPV that can make up for what some call lacklustre performances in the last couple outings. There seems to be a lot of pressure on "The Dream" Dusty Rhodes right now and many are expecting a booking change in the near future.
I wish I could give some insight as to what was happening in the office, but
a) being out of the loop for the last few weeks has kept me gossip free.
b) I never really had any idea what was going on anyway! Heh. I was a believer in shut up and do my job.
I will however say that, from what I have heard, if these expected changes do come, they will only come with a new TV deal. I know we all pray for a new TV deal on a new network. FSN is great and all, but its hard to get your product to the masses at 3 or 4 p.m. Friday.
As far as Lockdown matches go, if you need to see the lineup check out SLAM! Wrestling's Countdown to Lockdown or www.tnawrestling.com.
I will look for Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper to steal what many are calling A.J. Styles and Abyss's show. I have the utmost confidence in AJ and the "Monster" Abyss, but I think that Daniels is partially insane and Elix fully insane so the two together could create havoc. I'm giddy with anticipation.
I'm kind of glad I won't be in Orlando for this one, as the night of the epic AMW vs Triple X cage match I was watching from the wings, not on the monitors, with Frankie Kazarian and others and we all almost had coronaries when Elix walked the cage. I don't think I could handle watching another friend almost kill himself live. Unless of course I was wrestling him, then sure.
I have read on the Internet that "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash will not be able to compete this weekend due to medical problems. I feel for him and know he's a guy who doesn't like to miss the big shows, so whatever it is must be serious enough to keep him in a lesser role.
I want to wish Kid Kash best of luck in what ever he does now. Love him or hate him Kash was one hell of a performer and we got along really well. I hope he gets what he wants in the end and I am sure we will see more of Kash in the future. Maybe now that Kash is gone they should put Big Lance Hoyt in Team Canada to team with "Showtime" Eric Young. Why you ask? Because these two guys are the best dancers on the TNA roster bar none, and would kill in a Sk8r/breakdancing gimmick. But as we all know that would NEVER happen. God, it'd be funny though!
I was really happy to see Joey Matthews, erm I mean Joey Mercury, get the call up to Smackdown! recently. Joey is a great performer and been at this a long time. He's one of those guys who have deserved a shot for a while and just needed the right way in. I think the MNM gimmick is great and will go far. Love the furry coats! And Melina's not bad either!!
I was sad to hear about the releases of Matt Hardy, Molly Holly and Rhyno. I can understand a reprimand or whatever for Rhyno, but a release!? Wow, he must have really ruffled someone's feathers. As far as Matt goes I'm not touching that one with a 10-foot pole. I can only say I would look forward to the Team Canada vs the Hardy Boys matches. And Molly asking for her release shows the terrible state the WWE women's division is in. When arguably their best "worker" asks for her release it says a lot. I am sure she will do well where ever she ends up as she is very talented and beautiful. And I look forward to hanging with Rhyno while I am in Windsor/Detroit and helping him blow off some steam as he's one of the nice guys.
While on the subject of nice guys I want to give a shout out to my buddies, Apocalypse and Randy Myers from Stampede Wrestling, who are currently over in England working for Brian Dixon's All Star Wrestling. Have fun guys. I loved England and hope to go back one day. And I know that between you, T.J. Wilson, Harry Smith and all the great English talent, that the English fans are in for some great shows.
I think I am going to finish off this week with a wish list of guys I would like to wrestle when I get healed up. And I mean wrestle, not a 4-6 minute TV match but a 15+ minute house show match.
Once again fans that's it. Hope you are all supporting your local indies and all that other good shill stuff. Feedback as always can be sent to email@example.com. Take care all and Stay Hot.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida still may not have enough money to pay off hurricane insurance claims if a big storm hits.
New claims paying estimates drawn up for a state advisory panel conclude that the state could fall $1.5 billion short of what's needed to cover its obligations.
The panel will review and approve the estimates Tuesday, which are similar to ones drawn up earlier this year.
Florida created a backstop for insurers after Hurricane Andrew slammed into the state nearly 20 years ago. But the fund has to borrow money if claims exceed its cash reserves.
The new estimates conclude the state could likely borrow up to $7 billion after a hurricane. The $7 billion would be paid back with a surcharge placed on every property and auto insurance policy.

After analyzing the draft needs of all 32 teams, PFT will review how well each team addressed those needs. Up next: The San Diego Chargers.
What they needed: Offensive tackle, outside linebacker, cornerback, interior offensive line, defensive tackle.
Who they got:
Round 1: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama.
Round 2: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame.
Round 3: Keenan Allen, WR, California.
Round 5: Steve Williams, CB, California.
Round 6: Tourek Williams, OLB, Florida International.
Round 7: Brad Sorensen, QB, Southern Utah.
Where they hit: The Chargers needed offensive line help, and the 6-foot-5, 339-pound Fluker could be a fixture at right tackle for years to come. Allen was a logical pick in Round Three — he could be a capable complementary player early and improves the Chargers' options at wideout in 2014 and beyond. Tourek Williams, a defensive end in college, will transition to outside linebacker, and there's a chance to earn snaps as a reserve if he can show pass-rush ability. Also, Steve Williams bolsters the Chargers' CB depth, which was a little lacking.
Where they missed: With the draft and the serious free agent shopping concluded, the Chargers still have a real concern at left tackle, what with Fluker a right tackle in San Diego's estimation. It will also be interesting to see how the Chargers proceed at offensive guard. Jeromey Clary, who looks likely to be replaced by Fluker at right tackle, will be tried at guard, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune recently reported. Also, the Chargers' pass rush remains a potential problem, and their nose tackle depth is also a little shaky.
Impact rookies: It will be an upset if Fluker isn't in the lineup in Week One; the Chargers figure to give him every chance to learn on the job. His pass protection is the area to watch in Year One as he adjusts to the pro game. Te'o, who dealt with considerable pre-draft controversy and slid out of Round One, landed in a good spot. He looks like a solid fit in San Diego's 3-4 scheme, and he could start from the get-go.
Long-term prospects: Fluker was a necessary addition for 2013 and a pretty low-risk pick overall, given his skill and potential. Also, he plays a valuable position. Te'o was another sensible choice. At the least, both players look capable of being solid cogs. The question now is whether San Diego can start to stem the tide after three consecutive playoff misses. On paper, the Chargers still look capable of the occasional burst of impressive play, but sustaining that form could be tough. The Chargers still have some worrisome flaws.

I'd also like to thank the fellow bloggers who have nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award, that is: Earline Hines Bradt of Ancestral Notes, Professor Dru of Find Your Folks, Mary B. of AncestorTracking and M of Roots Digging. I really appreciate all the kind words and it's great to know someone is actually reading what I write. Thanks for the encouragement!
I understand that the recipient of a Kreativ Blogger Award has to write seven things about themselves and then nominate seven other bloggers for the award, so here goes:
About Me:
1. Despite being primarily a researcher of Scottish genealogy I'm actually English born and bred (but with plenty of Scottish ancestors).
2. One of my favourite names on my family tree is Patience Porritt.
3. Since taking up genealogy professionally I barely have time to trace my own ancestors any more (and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what there is to find on them!)
4. I would like to learn Latin properly (if I can ever find the time).
5. When I was a child my ambition was to be a writer.
6. I'm a vegetarian and so was one of my great-great-grandfathers.
7. I'm a fan of Real Ale (mine's a Deuchars if anyone's asking :p).
My nominations for the Kreativ Blogger Award (in no particular order):

Conference – A Century of Workers in Struggle 1913-2013
2013 will see the centenary of perhaps the most significant event in Irish Industrial History, the 1913 Lockout. This anniversary offers an excellent opportunity to reflect upon the struggles of workers in the past, and on the challenges facing workers today, both in Ireland and abroad.
To that end, Sinn Fein have organised a major conference early this year in Dublin to consider all the key issues workers faced today and in the past.
The conference, entitled 'A Century of Workers in Struggle 1913-2013' is to take place on March the 2nd, 2013 in Liberty Hall in Dublin.
The Conference will hear from many of Ireland's key Trade Union leaders such as Jack O'Connor, Jimmy Kelly, Peter Bunting and John Douglas, journalists such as Eamon Dunphy, Frank Connolly and Gerry Flynn, workers from the Vita Cortex, Visteon, Lagan Brick and Waterford Crystal disputes, International Union Leaders, Siobhán O'Donoghue from the MRCI, writers such as Brian Hanley and Conor McCabe, Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Mary Lou McDonald, and more.
The full line-up and brochure for the event is provided below.
This is a public event, and trade unionists, political activists, and member of the public are all very welcome to attend.
The details of the event are also available on Facebook.
Please also note that stalls from Trade Unions, NGOs, Historical Societies and other bodies are welcome, so please feel free to contact us if you are interested.

Nice try, John Boehner.
On Wednesday, the House speaker announced a willingness to work with the newly re-elected President Barack Obama on a long-term solution to the nation's budget problems that avoids January's "fiscal cliff" — and if you didn't listen too closely, it sounded like he was even willing to budge on the GOP's no-new-taxes dogma. In reality, though, Mr. Boehner was more or less recapping the House's position from 2011, the last time he and Mr. Obama engaged in serious discussions on the issue. He said the House Republican Caucus is open to the idea of increased revenues if it can be accomplished without raising tax rates, and, indeed, by lowering them while closing loopholes or limiting deductions.
But it was not clear whether he meant that the GOP caucus is open to using reality-based methods to calculate the effect of these tax changes, or whether he and his fellow Republicans would insist on applying the principles of voodoo economics: the discredited supply-side theory that increased economic growth as a result of tax cuts will more than make up for their cost. It didn't work in the1980s or the 2000s, but congressional Republicans heretofore have insisted that it is inviolable economic law.
In the spirit of post-election reconciliation, we will give Mr. Boehner the benefit of the doubt. He said nice things about wanting the president to lead and for all parties to approach the process not as Republicans or Democrats but as Americans. It's entirely possible that he was wary about going too far out on a limb policy-wise before having a chance to corral his members and explain to them the new political reality they face.
That reality is this: President Obama was stunningly vague about his plans for a second term, except for one thing — a promise to increase taxes on the well-to-do. He could not have been clearer about that, and his opponent, Mitt Romney, could not have offered a sharper contrast on the issue. The voters picked Mr. Obama. Moreover, 60 percent of voters think taxes should be increased as part of a deficit-reduction plan, according to exit polls. Mr. Boehner — whose party lost seats in the House and Senate — may claim a mandate otherwise, but that doesn't make it so.
Democrats need not be obsessed with making sure the rates for the top tax brackets go back to precisely what they were during the Clinton administration. But they do need to stick to their guns on the principle that whatever tax and deficit deal they make include a proportionally larger sacrifice from the wealthiest Americans than from the poor and middle class, who would suffer most from draconian budget cuts. If that can be accomplished by lower tax rates and a simpler tax code, so be it.
Likewise, Republicans need to acknowledge that their vision for a radical restructuring of Medicare and Medicaid is not supported by voters. That was another clear contrast between Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney. Certainly, Democrats need to accept the need for reforms to the entitlement programs that are some of the biggest drivers of our budget problems. Measures to reduce their rate of growth will have to be part of a budget deal, and that's not a matter of ideology but of math. But there are plenty of ways to do that without altering their fundamental promise to the American people.
The best-case scenario for the nation is that the president and leaders of both parties in Congress sit down immediately to hammer out a provisional deal that avoids the fiscal cliff. If good-faith negotiations to work out the details of such important reforms take longer than the seven weeks remaining in the year, it may be entirely appropriate to simply delay the automatic Jan. 1 spending cuts and tax increases for a few months. But Republicans need to come to the table ready to make a deal.
If not, they should consider the alternative. President Obama is not running for office again in his life. If he wants to, he can go on vacation in Hawaii until Inauguration Day and let the nation go over the fiscal cliff. That's certainly not our first choice for how these negotiations play out — such a tactic would doubtless throw the markets into turmoil and risk stalling an economy that seems to be picking up steam. But Republicans should ask themselves whether they are in a better position to make a deal now or in January, when the Bush tax cuts are no longer the law of the land. If Mr. Boehner's soft words on Wednesday were a bluff, he should bear in mind that he's playing cards with someone who has little to lose.

It's sad to see the efforts to rescue Swedish automaker Saab fail. But for anyone watching the attrition of marginal brands in the past few years, it's not surprising.
Going back to General Motors' ownership of the brand, no one was able to puzzle out a way to make Saab viable. Finally a tangle of Chinese investors and GM's desire to protect its technology pushed "this beautiful company," in Chief Executive Victor Muller's words, into bankruptcy and apparent liquidation.
GM tried to solve the Saab riddle by putting Saabs on high-volume platforms. But homogenizing Saab worked better on paper than in practice. The awkward results -- the Subaru-based 9-2 "Saabaru" and the out-of-character 9-7X Saab-badged GM SUV -- pointed to a basic difficulty.
Saab's traditional appeal was to buyers who valued its distinctive Swedish character (invariably described as "quirky"). But that was diluted in the pursuit of scale economies.
More fundamentally, the problem was that Saab was a low-volume brand -- occasionally edging over the 125,000 global sales mark -- that couldn't command true luxury prices.
You can do just fine with low volumes if you can charge Rolls-Royce/Ferrari prices, or even Porsche prices.
If not, then you're in trouble.

Sikil P'aak From 'Yucatán'
Get the Recipe
Mexican Food
Recetas deliciosas to transport your tastebuds south of the border.
For a dip so flavorful, sikil p'aak sure is ugly. A moderately chunky purée of ground pumpkin seeds, tomato purée, chilies, herbs, and onion, the hearty appetizer is a full expression of Yucatecan harvest time. I'll encourage you to ignore the appearance. According to David Sterling in his new cookbook, Yucatán, sikil p'aak is traditionally served with warm fresh tortillas, but today is most often seen at parties and in cantinas, scooped atop salty, crisp tortilla chips. He makes his dip intentionally stiff, but sikil p'aak can be served along a broad spectrum of consistencies from thick to thin. Play around with the recipe and add as much liquid as you'd like.
Why I picked this recipe: I wanted to try an easier recipe that still conjured the flavors of traditional Yucatecan cooking.
What worked: The dip really couldn't be easier—especially if you have a stash of ground pepitas.
What didn't: No problems here.
Suggested tweaks: Sikil p'aak is traditionally made with ground, unhulled pumpkin seeds, but you can use either hulled (pepitas) or unhulled. A dip made with unhulled seeds will be a bit more rustic in texture. The best substitute for Seville orange juice is a mix of 2 parts lime juice, 1 part orange juice, and 1 part white grapefruit juice. (I did okay with a mix of orange and lime juice.)
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Yucatán to give away this week.

Tia Mowry is a tough mommy. She endured some harsh criticism from people who called her baby ugly.
But she says, it doesn't matter what those people say, life is good and she is blessed to have her little man.
"He's the biggest joy of my life. Why would I want to hide that?" Tia said to Sister 2 Sister, while confirming that she won't become an overprotective parent.
"The thing is that Cree lives in the real world. To overly protect him—I think—will hurt him … This isn't the last time somebody's going to critique him or pick on him. Everybody has been a product of some sort of bullying."
While she doesn't condone censorship, the actress lamented that everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, not all opinions need to be heard.
"It does hurt when you do hear things that are not positive and see things that are not positive," she said. "We're real people. For people to say they're not affected by it, I don't know if they're being honest."
Regardless, fans did come to her and her baby's rescue, fighting the negativity.
"I have gotten so much support and love from my fans. I never realized… I guess I never really realized the power of support from fans until this situation that came about," she said.
Overall, the experience wasn't all a waste. Other mothers came forward sharing their similar stories of baby bullying.

Premiere June 2, 2011
Dance. The world's most famous classical ballet, set to the magical music of Tchaikovsky. The Royal Ballet concludes our dance season with a magnificent guest performance.
Guest performance by the Royal Ballet of Stockholm.
Watch a movie from the perfromance at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
Swan Lake, the ballet of ballets, set to the fantastic music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, had its world premiere in Moscow in 1877 but was not a great success then. However, when Marius Petipa's and Lev Ivanov's created a version for the Marinskij Theatre in St Petersburg in 1895, it quickly achieved worldwide fame, and is still played regularly all over the world. Swan Lake contains many of the most famous numbers of the classic ballet repertoire but also has romantic pas de deux, magnificent ballroom scenes and dark intrigues. Prince Siegfried falls in love with the beautiful Swan Queen Odette, but the evil wizard does everything in his power to crush their happiness.
The Royal Ballet's guest performance gives the Gothenburg audiences another chance to experience Swan Lake again. This production was created for the Royal Ballet by the Russian choreographer as far back as 1964 and was very appreciated, not least for the happy ending. The Royal Ballet is the only one ballet company in the world that performs this happy and classical interpretation.
In 2008 the new version by Conus premiered anew in Stockholm. Following the premiere it took off on a month-long tour in China, performing in Beijing, Shanghai and Macao. The late David Walker designed the over 120 romantic costumes anew for the new premiere. In combination with Henry Bardon's fabulous scenery they are a true pleasure for the eyes. Tchaikovsky's powerful music is performed by The Göteborg Opera Orchestra.
The Royal Ballet did a guest performance on the Main Stage of The Göteborg Opera in the spring of 2002 with three performances of Swan Lake, then as choreographed by Sir Peter Wright following Petipa and Ivanov. Johannes Öhman, now Head of Ballet at The Göteborg Opera, danced one of the roles in that production.

Deltapine cotton varieties were the most popular brand of cotton seed planted in the United States in 2005, according to USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service. FiberMax was second, followed by Stoneville, Paymaster, AFD Seed, PhytoGen, California Planting Cotton Seed Distributors (CPCSD), All-Tex and Sure-Grow.
The most popular cotton variety in the United States in 2005 was Deltapine's DP 555 BG/RR, planted on almost 18 percent of U.S. cotton acreage. That's close to 2.5 million acres, based on USDA's estimate of almost 14 million acres planted. DP 444 BG/RR was second, at 13 percent, or 1.8 million acres, followed by Stoneville's ST 5599 BR, 7.6 percent, or 1.1 million acres. FiberMax FM 958, 7.4 percent, FM 960 BR, 3.5 percent, AFD 3511 RR, 2.3 percent, and DP 449 BG/RR, 2.2 percent, rounded out the top seven.

Here are simple soothing exercises inspired by traditional Chinese medicine that can help balance your energy to ensure a good night's sleep.
1. Rag-Doll Twist to Relieve Tension
What It Does
Stimulates chi in the spleen, liver, and kidneys. The twisting movement of the torso helps open the flow of chi, releasing tension and helping the body to relax and unwind.
How to Do It
With your feet parallel and about shoulder-width apart, twist your upper body to the right, letting your arms swing out to the sides and flop loosely against your body. Reverse, swinging in the opposite direction, back and forth. Enjoy the easy rhythm of this movement.
2. Separating Clouds to Balance Your Energy
What It Does
Balances yin energy and releases tightness by opening up the chest and shoulders.
How to Do It
Stand with feet parallel, knees slightly bent, arms down. Cross your wrists and, as you inhale, slowly draw your arms up as you straighten your legs. When your arms reach overhead, open them out and down to the sides, creating a giant circle as you bend your knees and exhale. Repeat three to five times, and then reverse the arms, drawing them up on the sides and down in front of you.
3. Swan Stretches Her Wings to Soothe Your Spirit
What It Does
Helps balance the liver and spleen while stimulating the horizontal and vertical axes of the body.
How to Do It
Start with palms facing each other as if holding an imaginary ball, left hand on top. Inhale and flip the left palm up, stretching one arm up and one down without locking the elbow. Exhale as you return arms to your center, holding the imaginary ball again, now with the right hand on top. Inhale and reverse the stretch. Repeat three times.
4. Fluffing White Clouds to Harmonize Your Hormones
What It Does
This exercise stimulates proper endocrine gland function, which supports all systems of the body, particularly those systems that regulate sleep.
How to Do It
Stand with feet parallel and knees slightly bent. Rest your hands open at your sides with palms facing front. As you inhale, straighten your knees and lift your hands with palms facing up and elbows bent. As you exhale, turn your palms over and let your arms flow down to your sides, bending the knees. Repeat six times.
5. Soothing Massage to Clear the Senses and Calm the Spirit
What It Does
Grounds and settles you while refocusing scattered energy. Sishencong, which soothes a point on the crown of your head, addresses headaches, nervousness, and insomnia; mingmen helps strengthen the kidneys and draw energy into your center of gravity, creating a sense of calm.
Sishencong Chi Massage: How to Do It
Lying on your back in bed, put one hand on top of your head and begin to move it in a circular motion about 2 inches in diameter. As you gently massage this point, visualize all your thoughts transforming into one. Put your other hand on your belly to help ground yourself more in your body. Continue for three to five minutes.
Mingmen Massage: How to Do It
Mingmen is a point on your lower back, between the kidneys and behind your belly button. Turn onto your side, in fetal position. Make a loose fist and massage yourself at this mingmen point with a circular motion, 30 times in one direction and 30 times in the other. Counting can help you relax and fall asleep. If you're still awake after a few minutes, repeat the exercise, and then rest your hand by your side and notice the sense of calm you feel.

Several studies suggest that having a sense of control over work plays a central role in workers' health. Employees, who are given more autonomy and challenge, have nearly half the number of stress related illnesses such as high blood pressure compared to workers who have little challenge and control over work.
Are you in control of your work?
Answer "yes" or "no."
1. My job enables me to use my own ideas.
2. My job allows me to accomplish something worthwhile.
3. My work gives me a sense of purpose.
4. I can use my skills on the job.
5. My job provides me with a desired amount of variety.
6 . My job is challenging.
7. My job provides opportunities to learn new things.
8. I have a say in planning my work week.
9. I have input into decisions affecting my work.
10. I set my own work pace.
11. My work hours are flexible.
12. I can decide when to take a break.
Scoring: One point for each "yes." The higher you score, the more control you have over your work. Five or less suggests you have little control. If you want to strengthen autonomy, read on.
Strengthening autonomy
- Review your work history with the company. Do you presently have a sense of control over your work? Did you ever? What made you feel you had control? Is there anything you can you do gain control?
- Identify co-workers who feel they have control over their work? What are they doing? Are they taking initiative? Volunteering for new assignments? Assertive at meetings? Politically astute? Are you the only one who feels a lack of control? If so, what does this tell you?
- Restructure your job. What can you do to give yourself more control over your work and also work more efficiently? Write these down. Then propose suggestions to your boss including examples of ways you can work more efficiently and also contribute to the company's bottom line.
- Take the initiative. Look for jobs that need to be done in your company. Identify the project manager, research ways you can enhance the project, and offer assistance and suggestions.
Volunteer for special projects. Find small things to do that will give you a sense of autonomy. This will bring more variety and challenge to your work. Offer to take charge of a newsletter, a social activity, or a community relations project.
- Become a team member. Work towards the success of the project. Help the company meet deadlines and bottom lines. What can you do to help your superior become successful? Offer recommendations for making the product or service better. Show that you're committed to your team's success.
- Network. Know what's happening in the company. Communicate regularly with superiors and colleagues. Attend meetings, participate in social activities, and read newsletters.
- Continue to learn. Attend seminars, read professional journals, and go to professional meetings. Share your knowledge and skills. Create a demand for your expertise.
- Manage stress. Get involved in non-work activities. Make family and leisure time fun. Engage in hobbies, or volunteer for a community project that will provide challenge and autonomy. Meditate, exercise, and eat healthily.
- Consider changing jobs. If the foregoing suggestions don't help, consider moving to a new department, a different employer, another occupation, or take time-out.
Since most of us spend one-third to half of our waking lives working, commuting, or thinking about work, these hours should be filled with challenge, enthusiasm and growth, rather than with frustration, discouragement and boredom. Take an active role in controlling or reshaping your work environment.

Two pitchers, one the Mets didn't want and one they'd love to have, will be on display today in the second round of the playoffs.
Pedro Martinez, whom the Mets cut ties with in an effort to get younger and move toward the future, will start Game 2 of the NLCS for Philadelphia against the Dodgers. John Lackey, the pitching prize of the free-agent market, starts for the Angels at Yankee Stadium.
If Martinez wins, it will send Philly home with a 2-0 games lead. If Lackey wins, he will give the home field advantage to the Angels.
The Mets are watching at home for the third straight season.
After a series of injuries the past few years, the Mets decided they could live without Martinez, 37, will make his first playoff appearance in five years against the Dodgers, the team in broke in with in 1992. Martinez made nine starts with the Phillies, going 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA.
He told me last year he thought he could still pitch again, and proved it this year in a limited capacity. Weary of the injuries, and confident Mike Pelfrey would progress and they'd finally get something out of Oliver Perez, the Mets said good-bye to Martinez, who did not want to come back in a limited role or with a limited contract.
If he will be content with a No. 5 slot, he'll get some attention this winter. No, the Mets won't be one of the teams, but he could stay in Philadelphia.
Martinez likes the team and it will be good again next summer.
Martinez hasn't pitched since Sept. 30, but manager Charlie Manuel isn't concerned, saying, "I think he knows how to pitch.''
Martinez's last playoff appearance was in 2004 with Boston, and one of the story lines today will be facing former Red Sox teammate Manny Ramirez.
"Well, nobody can say I know how to pitch Manny." Martinez said. "Manny is such a great hitter, and he's someone that makes adjustments as he sees the game develop."
The Angels are a team in a zone, having swept Boston in the Division Series. They'll face CC Sabathia tonight at the Stadium.
The Angels know how to beat the Yankees, dispatching them from the playoffs twice since 2002. The teams split 10 games this year.
"I don't know if you're ever going to be able to measure yourself against an organization like the Yankees. It might take a century before you would get there,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "But I think our guys feel good at the way they go about their business, the way that they play the game hard, the way that they push the game.''
But, it all begins with pitching, and tonight that is Lackey, who beat the Yankees in July when he gave up two runs in seven innings.
"I'm not going to get intimidated by anybody," Lackey said.
Lackey is a bulldog type, he gives innings when he's healthy, but he's missed considerable time in each of the past two seasons. That will give the Mets pause as they were bitten all year by injuries. It would just be the franchise's luck to sign him and have him go down.
Lackey leads a relatively thin free-agent market that includes Erik Bedard, Jon Garland, Andy Pettitte, Jose Contreras, Rich Harden, Jason Marquis, Joel Pineiro and Randy Wolf.
There are some good names, but nobody outside of Lackey who could be called a No. 1.

Just who owns Swamp Thing? After being asked about the chances of a revival of everyone's favorite muck monster at today's Vertigo panel, DC's VP of Sales told the following story:
Every now and again, there's a battle between [DC Universe] and Vertigo about who gets to publish the character. DCU guys go up to the Vertigo offices with the issue of Batman where Swamp Thing appears and say "Clearly this is a Batman character!" and suddenly there are pitchforks and they're forced back to the elevators.
Trying to offer a more serious answer, editor Bob Schreck said that it was one of his favorite comics, but after about three failed attempts to bring back the character, he's realized that "maybe you shouldn't go home again."

Yanis Marshall Serves Sick High-Heeled Choreo For Beyonce's 'Partition'

Let me start by saying that the banquet meal is E.P.I.C. Every single item was amazingly delicious and we all went too hard at the beginning. By the time we got to the star dish of the lamb shoulder, everyone was so full that we couldn't even finish the shoulders. Anyway, I digress. Like all good stories, let me start from the start.
The meal started with some really addictive nibbles. Spiced almonds were really tasty but it was the Padron Peppers that had everyone hooked. As some of you may know, Padron peppers come in spicy and mild forms. It's like a Russian roulette biting into one. You never know what you'll get. The spicy ones are quite hot indeed, with a nice fiery burn. We all had some much fun biting into the peppers and everyone liked the taste of them, even the spicy ones.
Entrees consisted of Kingfish Sashimi on Chips, Natural Oysters, Prosciutto, Bresaola with Beetroot and Roasted Eggplant. The kingfish sashimi was super fresh and wonderfully zingy. You can never go wrong with fresh natural oysters in my opinion. The two cured meats were of a high quality. However, it was the roasted eggplant that thoroughly surprised me. It was so moreish that we all couldn't stop eating it. Wonderfully soft and smooth, combined with herbs, paprika and a creamy sauce.
Two salads arrived next. The Frekkah salad pictured below was wonderfully fresh and combined lots of great flavours and had an equally interesting mixture of textures. A Cauliflower (can't stand cauliflower normally) salad was my favourite dish thus far. It was done in an Indian Manchurian style of sorts, stir fried with lots of spices to have a caramelised flavour, freshness from herbs and the addition of pomegranates is genius.
The main star of the show, the Lamb Shoulder arrived next. It was the most tender, moist and flavoursome leg of lamb I've ever had. All 10 of us could not believe how tasty the lamb was. There were crunchy bits, caramelised bit while all the time being tender and full of flavour. It was served with Roasted Sweet Potato, which were delectable as well. The lamb was so yummy but we were all so full that we couldn't finish it. Such a waste. Tip for next time, remember to not finish all the earlier dishes and save room in the tummy for the lamb.
For dessert, I was crossing all my digits and hoping for multiple servings of the madeleines each. Instead, we got a Mandarin Sorbet with Chocolate Mousse, Meringue and Chocolate Dirt. I didn't like the dessert at all, but that's because I hate the combination of citrus with chocolate. I didn't mind the sorbet and the mousse by itself was ok too (a bit too dark and bitter even for my liking) but the whole dessert together did not work for me. If you like citrus with chocolate, you'll love this dessert.
That concluded an amazing banquet meal. I'm so happy that I got to try it. Most of the dishes that we sampled cannot be found on the menu and can only be eaten via the banquet, meaning you had to have a large group. The banquet was a steal at $80 and with drinks, it was about $100 each. A thoroughly simple yet amazingly satisfying delicious meal. Trust Andrew McConnell to be able to make the ordinary extraordinary.
Service at any Andrew McConnell restaurant is impeccable and this was no different. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The atmosphere at Cumulus Inc is always wonderful, but I especially love the bench seats that we were at along the far brick wall. This allows you to see all parts of the room, from the front bar, the middle tables, to the back kitchen area where the meticulous team prepare so many wonderful meals from a tiny area. All these elements combined with the great food make for a most wonderful meal.
Overall Rating: 16/20, Great simple food done extremely well. Wonderful service and atmosphere.
Scores: 1-9: Unacceptable, don't bother. 10-11: Just OK,some shortcomings. 12: Fair. 13: Getting there. 14: Recommended. 15: Good. 16: Really good. 17: Truly excellent. 18: An outstanding experience. 19-20:Approaching perfection, Victoria's best.

Overall I like it a lot. A couple of the little screws that required the Allen wrench were almost impossible to install. One never worked and another was not secured. Hopefully the Basket stays secure without them. Aside from that, I LOVE IT. It was easy to assemble. I felt the instructions could be better. Could do with a clearer rewrite and better photos, visuals. Very sturdy, feels safe.

James, a great place to watch the fireworks in San Diego is at Seashore Village (because you can see 2 fireworks being shot), but...park before 4 pm, otherwise it's almost impossible to find a parking place. Also, when we go, we try to leave 10 min. before everyone else, so you are not an hour, just getting out of traffic to go on the freeway:):)

Happy 4th!
Wanted to let you know there is a new photo club forming. I really like some of the people in it, very nice bunch. The leader is really great about teaching and sharing. He gets press passes and takes other shooters along to show them the ropes, etc. Just thought you might be interested.

This photo is perfect for happy July 4th. Congrats.
James, you always capture such a beautiful reflection!! Surface of the water is reflecting orange lights and it looks so calm and peaceful. I love the wide white line dividing the photo into two. It gives me very strong impression!!.
Have a great week!

Small world, James...in regard to our conversation (Santa Fe)...we all ate at the Cowgirl Restaurant. It was on a Sunday afternoon and we had a patio table and listened to a great band. Kix Brooks from the country duo (Brooks & Dunn) was there with his wife. It turns out they frequent Santa Fe since they have a home there...great times!
