Jun 21, 20125While a far better film than Mirror Mirror (which I had to walk out of), Snow White fails to live up to the very stylish and cool initial 30 minutes or so. Slogging through the Forrest gets a little old, and the 2nd half of the movie in general is little bloated. And I hated the ending.

Jun 5, 20125Man was this movie average. Kristen Stewart is not right for this part, Hemsworth didn't pull it off. I like Hemsworth too so I am going to chalk that up to bad writing. I liked the world and how it was shot but you need some acting and a consistent story. Maybe a little comedy, just a little. The queen was the best part of the movie.
Jul 11, 20128Really good re-imagining of a fairy tail. Good action flick. A little too graphic for young kids. Took my 12 year old who enjoyed it. (Though I'm glad we didn't see it before bedtime!) Charlize Theron makes a pretty great wicked step mother. Kristen Stewart as rebellious teen consorting with the undead... yup. Princess and "fairest of them all"... not so much.
Sep 22, 20125I do not know what possessed me to think that this would be something worth watching, however having seen it I must admit that it was wonderfully directed with stunning visuals and soundtrack alike. Theron is delightful as Ravenna.

Jun 1, 20129I will start with the main course: Charlize Theron, Oscar nomination please! his performance was incredible, masterful, his eyes struck, passed all the witch felt, that was the best! as clear that his good soundtrack, spectacular special effects, the picture was very good, so the movie was in all its flavor. Kirstin Stewart Nothing more! the role he was too big, not I bring nothing, Charlize ate!
Jun 1, 20121Wow, a film with no expression or emotion expressed by the main character. It makes the performers in Piranha 3DD look like fine actors. Badly paced, poor performances and a bad script, but cool visual effects.

Jun 11, 201210The problem of Snow White for me it was Snow White. I mean, if you get an average actress and put it her with over-the-top actors, all her flaws will come to be evident. That's what happen with Kirsten.
Jun 5, 20124Maybe Snow White and the Huntsman looks promising for dark fairy tale entry, but it's undone by uneven acting, problematic pacing, and a confused script.

Sep 2, 20128I expected very little from this film and actually really enjoyed it.After reading several negative reviews I thought I wouldn`t get past the twenty minute mark.I found the acting to be fine and yes,the whole thing looks fantastic.A very good effort at updating a classic story and far,far better than most blockbusters that rely on too much CGI and 3D to tell a story.Great cast too!
Jun 5, 20126At least 15 minutes too long, with a poor star performance (Theron) and merely adequate turns from Stewart and Hemsworth, this film took itself rather too seriously. Certainly, it looked great, and the dwarfs were fun, but it did not offer much that was memorable or interesting.

Jun 27, 20126this movie has some many good points and some bad. good: the hunter (Chris Hemsworth), this fantastic along with William and Queen, but I have to say that Kristen Stewart is horrible, because she never changes her face, she is always the same, but in compensation she does not ta rubbing their hands in the body of nobody
Sep 18, 20126
Nov 29, 20125The Movie had great potential, and was pretty well done for the most part. Charlize Theron does a great job. The problem with the movie was Kristen Stewart, who still thinks all characters act like her twilight character. She literally sucks the soul out of every scene she is in. That being said Twilight fans will love this movie because she is in it.

Jun 20, 20124Out of all the live-action Snow White adaptions, I don't think i've watched any that are nearly as good as this one. You'll get great performances from most of the lead actors and the cgi is nice too. Even if there is occasionally unintentional humor, the story really works.
Nov 13, 20128
Nov 13, 20127this was a real supprise movie. I didn't expected much, but it gave me entertainment. Of course there are a lot of things which aren't that well done in the movie, but overall it was pretty good.
Aug 21, 20127This movie was great with an awesome storyline and the costumes and CGI was FANTASTIC. The only part that i didn't like was the fact that I was expecting a bit more action after watching the trailer, but it was overall a good movie.

Jul 22, 20125He could come out a good movie because it is technically well done. Too bad that Stewart as Snow White (character who was supposed to carry the good, the sweetness, innocence) has almost ruined everything with his expressionless. Thank goodness there was Charlize Theron that saved the movie with his incredible performance at the Queen.

Jul 5, 20124Not a terrible movie but I expected more. It got boring at times and you may find yourself dozing off while at other times it was amusing. I believe it is highly overrated by the critics.

Jun 2, 20126Overall, I was more impressed than I thought I would be. The battle scenes were convincing, Charlize Theron was terrifying, and Kristen Stewart may have a career outside of the Twilight franchise after all.
Oct 4, 20126Everyone knows the story of Snow White. And we are presented with a darker, more violent twist on the fairy tale that could have been an excellent film. But in the end, it was just silly.

Jun 1, 20129I loved this movie Charlize Theron was fantastic Ian McShane , Bob Hoskins , Ray Winstone and Nick Frost were brilliant and the visual effects were amazing the story line was good all in all a really enjoyable film well worth a watch.
Jun 3, 20129Due to mediocre reviews, I was not expecting much, so what a surprise when what I saw turned out to be one of the best movies I have seen this year. A visual spectacle, with some brilliant performances, this really should be experienced on the big screen.

Jan 27, 20137Snow White and the Huntsman is an enjoyable film that is shot brilliantly with some excellent music. The movie can be a bit dumb at times and hard to understand. The main issue is the terrible acting of Kristen Stewart.
Jan 27, 20133Highlights include the visual aspect. Negatives include just about everything else. The acting was dreadful, the movie was slow and boring, and the script was weak.
Jun 3, 20122the digital effects are indeed beautiful and the landscape is incredible, however, Stewart's horrible acting and he "beauty" consists of keeping a poker face the entire movie and when she tries to sound inspiring she randomly yells. Terrible, slow-paced then randomly fast paced script. It was just bad
Jun 3, 20126Even that I'm not a fan of fairytale but this adoption is simply great. It has exciting moment that keep the thrill. The main drawback of the movie is that the acting has its weak points which is probably do to the choose of actors and actresses. Also the movie wasn't written as well. Overall I would say it can be a good movie for a weekend cinema time.

Jun 2, 20125Kristen Stewart is unconvincing in her role as Snow White, in terms of both acting and appearance (fairer than the Charlize Theron? Yeah right.) This film is nowhere near as epic as it pretends to be.

Oct 28, 20124To be honest, I thought the movie was a little boring. It was okay, but the action was slow and the plot was too rushed, hard to keep track of, and just plain boring. This isn't even as close to as good as something like Alice in Wonderland. I think it was a disappointment.
Jun 5, 201210The Best Movie Of The Year!
Jun 8, 20124I started out thinking I could get into it if it kept getting better, but by the third act this movie becomes so boring that I didn't even care what would happen anymore.

Jun 2, 201210Beautifully shot and very convincingly acted! Really enjoyed this take on the tale......so much better than previous attempts at adapting fairytales! I highly commend and recommend!
Jun 2, 201210I loved Kristen, Charlize, Chris and Sam as well as the supporting characters! Very well done. The visuals are also stunning and the sets are wonderful.
Jun 2, 201210Wonderful movie! So much better than I was expecting!!!!! The camera work, the scenery, the music, the story, the characters and the acting all came together to make a fantastic action movie that is family friendly!
Jun 2, 201210Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart were amazing in this movie!! They were the perfect two sides of the one coin! Very enjoyable movie overall! Go see it!!!!
Jun 2, 201210Wayyyyy better than I was expecting!!!!!!!!! I did not think Kristen Stewart especially could pull this off but I will admit I was completely wrong!! She played this part admirably and really made me believe in her as an actress!
Jun 2, 201210Pretty awesome movie! Deserves a lot more credit than it is getting!! Rupert Sanders did a fantastic job of making a pretty simple story feel big! The actors were really very good too.
Jun 2, 201210I went to see this movie after all the positive word of mouth and I have to say I really enjoyed it !! Very glad I gave it a chance and would recommend others do too!
Jun 2, 20129The only problem I had with this movie was that it was slightly too long! I was blown away by Ms Stewart and Ms Theron and Chris Hemsworth was surprisingly impressive too.
Jun 2, 20129Very impressive debut from Rupert Sanders. Beautiful scenery and beautiful cast. The best Grimm adaptation I have seen. Think it deserved a bit more love from certain critics actually.
Jun 2, 201210Kristen Stewart proves here that she can do so much more than just Bella Swan! Charlize Theron was wonderfully wicked also! I loved the movie. It was enjoyable and intense without ever being uncomfortable!
Jun 3, 20124Seriously not as bad as some people are making it out to be. True Kristen Stewart basically sucks out all the life (much like the far superior character Ravenna) from the movie, whenever sheâ
Jun 3, 201210Great movie for all ages. Well put together, costumes acting and scenes where fanatic. It was better than I expected it to be. It was better than the original snow white. A must see.
Jun 4, 201210Fantastic movie!!! I was not expecting it to be so good but I have to admit I was wrong!! Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron were beautiful and very strong acting from both!
Jun 2, 201260The CGI effects are so slick that they undercut the movie's shock value, and the action moves too quickly to instill a real sense of fear, but this is still visually impressive, with spectacular make-up, costumes, and cinematography.
75Attempts to inject a little humor via the antics of the dwarves don't work, especially since one of the little people is killed early in the proceedings. No one's going to be singing "Hi ho! Hi ho! It's off to work we go!" after that happens.
60It's Theron who owns this film, imbuing her deliciously depraved Queen with furious pain and deep-seated fear.

Huangbo's Dreg Slurpers
Huangbo once said to the community, "you're all slurpers of dregs. running around looking for teachings- how will you ever arrive where you are? You keep searching for an enlightened master who is going to give you something you don't have. Don't you know that in all of china there isn't a single teacher of zen?" A monk came forward and said, "then what about all those monasteries and their eminent abbots?" Huangbo replied, "i didn't say there's no zen- just that there aren't any teachers."
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
Martin Buber said, all living is meeting. Enlightenment isn't something someone has and can give us. There are no teachers and there's nothing to teach but we need each other, and in the mystery of our meeting something occurs that's more than either of us, more than the two together.
Zhaozho's Not Landing Anywhere
Zhaozho once said, "the truth is easy to find. Just avoid making distinctions and be pure. But as soon as you say or do anything at all you make a distinction, and even purity depends on impurity to be pure. As for me, i don't land anywhere and i'm not pure. What do you say?"
A monk responded: "Since you don't land anywhere, can you say anything?"
Zhaozho said, "I don't know."
The monk shot back, "if you don't know how can you say you don't land anywhere?"
Zhaozho said, "asking the question is enough. Just bow and go."
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
We're all looking for heaven, which is later and elsewhere. Actually everything in front of us right now is a miracle, here and then gone, forever. What's the nature of that miracle? I don't know: no one does, and that's it's nature. You can't even really say that: but you have to keep on asking the question.That's what makes us human.
Face to Face with Linji
In a formal zen questioning ceremony Elder Ting asked the tough teacher Linji, "What's the essential truth?" Linji got up off his ceremonial chair, grabbedTing by the lapels of his robe, and hit him three or four times. Ting stood there speechless until one of the other students said, "Why don't you bow?" As Ting, still in a daze, started to make his formal leaving bows he suddenly had an insight into the truth.
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
Wouldn't it be nice if someone could tell us what the truth was? Then we'd have it forever. But any truth that's really worth knowing can't be explained. It arises as a result of our meeting one another, nose to nose, face to face, intimately. "Bowing" means plunging into our life with gratitude. When we are willing to do that, come what may, the effective truth will dawn on us.
Falling Down in the Snow
Once a Zen Master was walking along in a snowstorm and he heard a distant cry for help. Looking up and down he couldn't find anyone until finally he noticed a depression in a big snowdrift. Someone had tripped and fallen inside. "I'll help you!" he shouted enthusiastically, as he plunged down beside the person deep in the snowdrift.
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer:
This seems ridiculous. What a way to help! Now there are two of them freezing and struggling to get up. Wouldn't it have made more sense to lend a hand and an arm? Well, temporarily yes, but ultimately no. We do need all sorts of effective help: we should get it when we need it, and give it when we can. But our biggest problems (love and life, loss and death) are not easily solved, and the greatest help we can offer or receive is to know that we are not alone, that our life is shared deeply with one person, with everyone. This is the kind of help the silly snowy Zen Master meant to give. Is that so?
Hakuun's Child
Hakuun Zenji was taking care of a temple in a small town. The daughter of one of his parishioners got pregnant, and not wanting to let on who the father really was, she told her parents, "It was him, that dirty old priest at the temple." The parents quietly fumed over this, but waited till the child was born to express themselves. They knocked at the temple gate, handed over the yowling newborn, and said, "This is your handiwork, you poor-excuse-for-a-priest: now you can take care of it!" "Is that so, is that so?" Hakuun said, probably not a little startled at the encounter.
After a few years the girl, overcome with remorse, told her parents the truth. Completely chagrined, they trooped back up to the temple gate, made deep humble bows of apology and asked for the child back. "You are such a wonderful priest, so accepting, so serene," they repeated over and over, heads low to the ground. "Is that so, is that so?" Hakuun said.
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
We are so passionate about our reputations that we sometimes mistake them for ourselves. We end up living externally, so bound up with others' views of us that we lose track of our inner core, and run up and down with all life's victories and defeats. How wonderful it would be to emulate old Hakuun, always ready to accept what comes with equanimity, good or bad. How wonderful to be able to live without control and without fear, taking absolutely everything that happens as the medicine we need right now. That's the way to stay healthy!
Like Reaching Back for Your Pillow
Once Yunyan asked Daowu, "Kwanyin the bodhisattva of compassion has so many hands and eyes. What are they all for?" Daowu answered him, "It's like reaching back for your pillow in the night."
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
Kwanyin is traditionally depicted as a woman with many arms and many heads, an image of extensive helping. Such compassion seems like something special, the activity of an altruism we aspire to but do not ever seem to actually achieve. These old Zen masters had a different idea. Compassion, they tell us, is something very natural and everyday: in fact, all activity, rightly understood and truly lived, is nothing but compassion. The world's turning, the living and dying of all creatures, even every thought in our minds... nothing but compassion. When you reach back for your pillow in the night you do it reflexively, without calculation or motivation, and you don't know and can't even see what you are doing!
Now Hear It
On a rainy day at Green Gulch temple the poet Gary Snyder told this story: Years before, when he was a young man studying Zen in Japan, he had attended a practice period which featured a daily lecture by the roshi. Every afternoon, at the scheduled time for the talk, a fierce monsoon rain storm would come up, pounding on the temple roof so that it was impossible to hear the roshi's voice, which was, even under the best of conditions, faint. Day by day it went on like this, not a single audible word. Some years later Gary met a man who had also attended that practice period. The man said to him, "Do you remember those dharma talks we couldn't hear all training period long? Well I am beginning to hear them now."
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
In Zen practice we are always listening to talks and studying the sayings of the ancients. It's funny that for all its emphasis on silent sitting and sudden insight, Zen has produced an enormous literature that seems to require extensive commentary in order to be understood. But in the end knowledge really isn't important, and the virtue of all the listening and reading is simply that we experience the feeling behind it. The roshi's words aren't so important. He or she may use a lot of them, but it's the flavor and scent, the sense of life that is conveyed, not so much by the words themselves, as by their presentation and context, that counts. I have no doubt that the man really was beginning only now, years later, to to actually hear what the Roshi had been saying. Can you hear it?
Walking on Water
Once Huangbo and another monk were on pilgrimage. They came to a wide stream, almost a river, and planted their staffs, standing on the bank silently, watching the water go by. Finally the monk hiked up the skirts of his robe and walked across, gliding on top of the water like a sailboat. Huangbo muttered in disgust," If I'd've known you were like this I'd've never agreed to go with you!" and he turned around and went on his own way.
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
Zen spirituality isn't magical. It's pretty down to earth. The point is not to be able to transcend the rules, escape the ordinary, but rather to see and live out the miracle that is everyday life. There is no contradiction between body and spirit, between mind and matter. These are just words we use to understand one thing. Zen practitioners must be grounded, walking with two feet upon the real earth. This isn't a compromise with ultimate truth: it is an expression of it. If you want to cross rivers take a boat, if you want to fly take an airplane, if you want to read minds read a book. Which moon is it?
Daowu and Yunyan
Daowu and Yunyan were old Dharma companions. They had been through a lot together in their studies with their old teacher Yaoshan, and they were always quizzing one another about the teachings. Once Daowu found Yunyan intently sweeping the temple grounds with an old straw broom. Daowu said, "Too busy!" and Yunyan immediately replied, "But there is one here who isn't busy." Daowu chuckled and said, "Oh, so there are two moons?" Yunyan held the broom aloft and said, "Which moon is this?"
commentary by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
Somehow we humans always want to know what is real, what is true? These old Zen masters don't take a thing for granted. They see each occasion as a new chance to ask the question fresh. We all have to sweep the floor every day, it's the price we pay for being alive, but how do we do it? Are we immersed in our busy lives, not really knowing who or where we are, or do we have our full composure? And is there really a difference? When we plunge wholeheartedly into our life all our acts are endless questions, infinite answers. What else could there be beyond this?

Looking to buy a gun? Wal-Mart might be sold out of the one you want.
"There are certain firearms that are very difficult to get," Wal-Mart U.S. CEO Bill Simon said Thursday, although the company wouldn't say which models and makes he meant.
Stores have had a hard time keeping guns and ammunition in stock since President Barack Obama's re-election in November. Sales picked up even more steam after the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in December.
The swell in gun sales boosted Wal-Mart's sporting goods division in its fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 31. Simon said the success of sporting goods led its hardlines category, which also includes tools, automotive accessories and seasonal merchandise, to deliver its best quarter of the year.
Earlier this month, the nation's largest retailer said it had to ration sales of ammunition after months of surging demand. Customers are limited to three boxes per day at its stores across the country. Simon said he doesn't know when it will be lifted.
There are no limits on the number of guns a customer can buy in stores, according to Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove, who said the retailer sells guns at "a little less than half" of the country's 4,000 stores.
In the past year, gun sales at Wal-Mart have skyrocketed. In October, Executive Vice President Duncan Mac Naughton told shareholders that gun sales at Wal-Mart stores open for a year or more increased 76 percent to that point in 2012, and ammunition sales were up 30 percent. The retailer did not release updated figures for the fourth quarter.
"Our firearms and ammunition sales are mirroring the market run-up now," Simon said on Thursday.
Gun shop owners told CNNMoney that semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines are flying off shelves across the country, since many people are worried that their right to buy assault weapons could be curtailed with gun control legislation. Gun industry experts say they are buying up guns while they have the chance.
Last month, Obama proposed background checks on all gun sales, as well as bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. That same week, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a gun control package into law that fortifies the state's existing assault weapons ban, limits the number of bullets allowed in magazines and strengthens rules governing the mentally ill.

Bowled over: Six PCA players being showcased in postseason games
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Prestonwood Christian Academy football season ended last month in the second round of the playoffs.
Yet Lions can still be found across the gridiron this month and next as six seniors (Nate Jones, Elliott Mason, Zach Missimo, Mike Mitchell, Christian Morgan, Grayson Warren) were selected for high school all-star games.
"I could not be more proud of a team and how they fought through adversity than this one," said Chris Cunningham, Prestonwood head coach. "There were a lot of challenges that arose as the season played out and our team persevered because our players stepped up; this is just further proof of that."
Morgan and Mitchell will be further from home when they take the field next month.
Morgan, a tight end committed to Ole Miss, is playing for the West team in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl, which is Jan. 4 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The 8 p.m. game will be televised live on the NFL Network.
Prestonwood will be represented on national television again the next day as Mitchell plays for the West in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. That game, which emanates from the Alamodome in San Antonio and drew more than 39,000 fans last season, begins at noon and will be shown on NBC. Mitchell, a linebacker, has yet to announce his college commit but could do so at the game.
Mitchell will be a busy man in San Antonio.
In addition to the game, he will attend the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Awards Dinner the night before as one of 16 finalists selected for Player of the Year. Mitchell is also one of eight finalists for the Felix "Doc" Blanchard and Glenn Davis Awards.
"The nominees for the Felix "Doc" Blanchard and Glenn Davis Awards epitomize the Army's high standard of excellence in community service, education and athletic distinction," said John Myers, U.S. Army Marketing and Research Group director of strategic communications.
Mitchell is up for the Davis Award alongside quarterback Max Browne (Washington), offensive lineman Steven Elmer (Michigan) and Corey Robinson (Texas).
Taking part in awards season is nothing new for Mitchell as he was at the CBS-11 and TXA-21 Studios in Fort Worth on Friday after being selected for the Whataburger All-North Texas Team.

Flowers in Germany
June 13, 2013 § Leave a Comment
Om om Everyone,
Since I last posted I took the major step of moving to Bad Meinberg, Germany to live at Yoga Vidya Ashram. So far it has been wonderful, but I've been super busy trying to learn everything and deal with the paperwork and things on this end. I took a few minutes the other day to take some photos of the beautiful flowers around the area. Enjoy!
Header Photos
January 19, 2013 § 1 Comment
A number of people have asked me about the images of flowers that randomly select for the header for each page of this blog. They are original photos that I took over the years. I like to do macro photography and I have mediocre at best equipment, but for me it is calming and relaxing.
Stay tuned for more.
Give Love
January 15, 2013 § 2 Comments
One of the most pervasive and difficult to grasp concepts in yoga is Prem, or universal, divine love.
Pervasive because every single great Saint and yogi says that in the true reality all there is, is love. Love is Truth. Love is the essence of everything.
Difficult to grasp because the Love they are talking about is not the kind of "love" that most people experience on a daily basis. Most normal relationships that would be described as loving involve attachments and are influenced by our own emotional and mental issues and attitudes. They come with a fear of loss and lots of desires to fulfill your own needs through someone else. The closest we usually come to Prem in our daily lives is the unbounded all-consuming and all-giving love of a good mother for her newborn child, and even this might be said to include attachment for the one baby that is hers. Because we can't get away from our minds, it's difficult to grasp the kind of love that doesn't involve the judgments of our minds.
Prem, divine love, has no attachments or requirements. It is unbounded joy and giving. It is Bliss that bubbles up from your core. It includes everyone and everything – even people that don't look or think like you, that come from somewhere or sometime else so you can't understand why they think that way. It includes all animals, plants, rocks, rivers, everything. Because it taps into the essence of all these things.
Only by experiencing divine Prem can one be said to truly be working in the spirit of karma yoga or selfless service.
Recently I have been taking an Ayurveda course to learn more about the medical branch that supports yoga. Ayurveda is a natural healing method, which believes that food is medicine, and it affects your mind and your body. So the important thing is to eat foods that are good for you according to your body type and the seasons, so that you can live a long and healthy life, and have more time to practice yoga.
Eating proper food and living a spiritual life will help your mind have the clarity to understand (digest) relationships and concepts that are difficult, and to see them in their True light.
The course is written by Dr. David Frawley, an Ayurveda expert, among other things. I found this quote in his course that is particularly poignant talking about Prem and what you have to do if you really want to feel love:
Love is the only emotion that can really be digested. The others we must learn to deflect with the detachment of our awareness. Love, it should be noted, has many forms as compassion, devotion, joy, etc. It is our failure to love, to be loving, which is the source of all emotional disturbances. The desire to be loved, on the other hand, is a failure to give love. Our real emotional nourishment comes from within as the power of love. We cannot simply pick it up form the outside like we can good food, though as children, when our inner connections are not entirely formed, we require love from outside to sustain us. ~Dr. Frawley
So give love. All the time. It will come back to you.
Lance Armstrong and the Media
January 15, 2013 § 1 Comment
So Lance Armstrong is all over the news again, this time because he allegedly confessed to Oprah yesterday in an interview to air at a later date that he did use performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) during his cycling career.
Honestly I think this illustrates a problem that has more to do with our media and how we judge what is important than it does with Lance Armstrong and what he did.
Of course I should say here for the record that no cyclist should rely on the use of PEDs to advance their career blah blah blah, and that it was wrong, blah blah.
The thing is that all cyclists who are well-known probably use PEDs. And the events with Lance Armstrong occurred many years ago. Some as long as 15 years ago. Lance was really good at not getting caught. And most likely he has a huge ego-driven urge to prove himself because of the extent he went to to sustain his lies. That is his issue and now his karma to deal with.
However, since that time, Lance Armstrong took the money that he got from cycling and he used it to create the Livestrong organization that has helped millions of people to overcome their own cancer and to improve their lives.
In the main Lance Armstrong has done a lot of good for the world. By comparison his cheating in a sport and lying about it afterwards are pretty minuscule. It's a sport in the end.
People say well the organization is based on a lie! How can I believe him now he lied to me! But the truth is, even with the PEDs he still overcame cancer and he still had to ride the races and win them. He still had to create the organization and run it.
So I wonder why the media is all over this, their need to air the details hourly, and crush Lance Armstrong like a bug into dust until he confesses in a fit of tears or whatever in a press conference and pays back the money and we can all go righteously on our way because we saved the world from a guy who cheated in a sport and then lied about it.
I want the same news coverage for the corporate CEOs and financial business people and military hawks who truly do bad things to the world. Who decimate our planet and plunder its resources, and who indiscriminately kill innocent people all over the world to advance some agenda they have and satisfy their greed. And then lie to us and say it's to further peace in the world, and to spread democracy, and we all have to sacrifice.
Those are the people who are truly bad. They are the ones killing the planet and the people who live here and there is not a word of real coverage about this, and they are not going to have to go to prison or pay back the planet or the families of the dead people. Where is the righteous indignation for these guys?
Lance Armstrong is just a guy with a big ego problem and he did some questionable and wrong things on a public stage. But in the main he's not that bad a guy, and the media should focus on more important things.
New Year's Resolutions
December 27, 2012 § Leave a Comment
It's almost that time again. Time to think about your New Year's resolutions and priorities. This January counts 11 years since I made the New Year's resolution to practice yoga in a meaningful way.
One of my favorite quotes from Swami Sivananda is excellent to reflect on when deciding your spiritual New Year's resolutions. I find it to be very inspiring. It's from the book Sadhana:
"In the spiritual path it is a case of progress or regress. There is no comfortable "sitting on the wall" frequently. To rest is to rust. With a flaming aspiration push forward. Every day must show that you have taken one step more upon the path. Progress is not to be counted in number of days that have passed in practice. It lies in how far you have outgrown your former ways of thinking and living. What is the extent of your victory over external environments? Do you maintain a calm and balanced mind? Do you remain unaffected by little annoyances and irritations? Are you more ready to forgive and less ready to offend? Has your aspiration grown stronger? Are you doing increased Sadhana or are you expecting Divine grace to help you to carry out your resolves and vows? Are you waiting to get blessings or Asirvad from saints and Avatars? Blessings are always there, but unless you prepare to boldly struggle upwards and onwards blessings are just as useful as staff and shoes to a traveller who does not care to march ahead."
Swami Sivananda

A Wall Street Journal op-ed authored by a staffer of the industry-funded Heartland Institute claimed that "[p]hysical limitations" will not allow wind to become a major source of our power. However, he ignored recent positive developments for the wind industry and areas where further innovation can help wind capacity further grow.
Fox News is reviving the pernicious smear that undocumented immigrants are criminals in order to attack the comprehensive immigration reform proposal being debated in the Senate. In fact, the legislation toughens provisions against those immigrants who have been convicted of crimes and bars them from gaining legal status; moreover, studies show that immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.
Fox News' inaccurate, defamatory, and dehumanizing coverage of the transgender community contributes to transphobic violence and discrimination according to several groups working toward transgender equality.

Div BG Image
Could someone please explain how to get an image as a background for my navigation bar, Using CSS.
I have my style sheet correctly linked as i've tested that, however I cant link an image with my Div tag. Is this CSS correct?
#navigation { background-image:url(images/blue1.png); width: 100%; }
I'd like to have it spanning the whole width of the page and be scale-able, does the
attribute Allow this?
Thanks in advance saviours of the internet! :)
Without a link it's hard to say but my guess is that the image isn't being referenced correctly. Try this:
#navigation { background-image:url(../images/blue1.png); width: 100%; }
Wow thanks for the instant responce, Is there any way I can supply you with a link to take a look at?
Do you not have to specify at least a height for this to take effect? And I think @Paulie_D is correct with his suggestion. Also you won't need to specify a width of 100% as it defaults to 100%.
Thanks for the advice @Watson90 I'll just try that now, Is there anyway i can show you exactly what i mean, I don't feel I explained it very well?
Is the website live? Maybe give us a link to it.
Although I think we understand your question.
#navigation { background: url(../images/blue.png) repeat-x; height: 50px: /* The height of the image you're using */ }
I'm on my phone and selecting the text for code messes up badly. Apologies.
@Watson90 Fixed it for you.
Cheers mate, haha.
Still nothing, And no its not live, Im only just starting to create it tonight and came across this problem, Its driving me mad! Its my first website so I guess I should expect many more, Thanks for your help so far its much appreciated. Could we prehaps skype sometime so you can see whats going on at my end better?
I don't do Skype personally. Maybe another member does.
But if you just put your code in a new pen and send us the link it will be a lot easier. It could be your markup.
Perhaps you could put it Codepen instead
Sorry but whats a Codepen? Very new to this, appologies for my lack of knowlege!
If you're floating the list items for a navigation menu, try adding
overflow: hidden;
Codepen is a site that allows you to put HTML & CSS into separate areas. It live updates and then you can link to it to let us play.
Some basic questions:
How is you website folder set up?
Does it have a main folder holding...
index.html (or whatever you page is)
images folder
css folder
scripts folder
or does it have something else?
Thanks guys @Paulie_D + @Watson90 + @ChrisP
Here's a code pen link : http://codepen.io/anon/pen/aqlhG
Realised I told you the wrong images, Its Blue.png for the majority of the site (body) And bg.jpg for the header section
Hope this is all okay?
I can see a few things straight away, you haven't closed your UL in your navigation and also your style declaration isn't closed properly.
Also, you can't specify
, you can either do shorthandbackground
or use both position and image separately.Thank you these should now be solved, Still hasn't solved the problem though, In answer to @Paulie_D I have my index.html file saved in a directory along with a style.css file. Then In the same directory i have my images folder complete with 2 images blue.png and bg.jpg
Thanks again guys, appreciate your commitment :)
@ChrisP - where is background position on his pen?
If that's the case @AdamHodgson then you will need to add ../ to your image path
End the CSS path with />
I thought I saw
background-image: url(/images/bg.png) repeat-x;
in #navigation, but now that I follow the link again, I may have been seeing things.background-image: url(/images/bg.png) repeat-x;
should be
background: url(/images/bg.png) repeat-x;
Still nothing guys sorry, I'm going to have to go offline just now, I'll be sure to pick up tomorow and will be even more determined to get it sorted.
Thanks everyone,
@AdamHodgson, try this now: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xfztL
If that is NOT working, then check your file extension. This code is working, if the you linked the images right.

Yonkers, NY
Overview of Yonkers
The city of Yonkers provides its residents with plenty of excitement and amenities, as it is the fourth largest city in the state of New York. Situated just outside New York City, Yonkers has plenty to offer those wanting to experience life in the big city.
There are Yonkers apartments for rent across the city in various neighborhoods.
Living in Yonkers, NY
Yonkers saw its first settlers in 1640, when a Dutch immigrant received a land grant and used it to construct a saw mill where the Hudson and Nepperhan Rivers met. Its unique name is a variation of the original Dutch words used to describe the area. This location, a major trade route, would result in Yonkers becoming an important trading hub in the region. Even though Yonkers was sparsely populated during the 1700s, it developed into a thriving community as businesses and settlers relocated there to take advantage of the waterways for trade.
During the 1800s, companies in Yonkers developed at a rapid pace. Cotton factories, stone mills, carpet manufacturers and the sugar industry made the city an easy place for residents to find work. As the community developed, it added modern amenities for its residents, including the world's first elevated mass transportation system.
Yonkers officially became a city in 1872, and was the first community in Westchester County to receive a city charter. It has remained prosperous since then and is currently home to nearly 200,000 residents. With its close proximity to NYC and a well-developed business community, Yonkers has become the ideal city for entrepreneurs and families.
Yonkers Work and Study
Yonkers is home to Westchester Community College, which aims to be more than the county's two-year junior college. The school, which has been a part of the community since 1946, educates 12,000 students. Pupils have more than 60 degree and certificate programs to choose from, and, with multiple sports teams, it's easy for students to get involved on campus. Students seeking a four-year university may find that Sarah Lawrence College is right for them. This liberal arts institution has a unique academic structure through which pupils can earn an undergraduate or graduate degree. With a small student population, Sarah Lawrence College is able to provide attendees with individual attention and assistance.
Just a few minutes from Yonkers is Concordia College, a school with a diverse student population and a commitment to academic excellence. With an exciting campus life, multiple degree programs and a fantastic location, Concordia offers pupils amenities not available at some other schools.
Yonkers isn't just full of college students - the city has a business district that is alive and well. Many residents are employed throughout Westchester County, and some of the area's largest employers include IBM, Westchester Medical Center, PepsiCo, Verizon, White Plains Hospital and Consolidated Edison.
Rentals in Yonkers, NY, and Cost of Living
Apartments in Yonkers are plentiful, and new residents shouldn't have a problem finding a place to suit their needs. Renters can expect their monthly rent to be somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000. The median gross monthly rent in the area was $1,145, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Yonkers can be an adjustment for some, as the cost of living may be higher than new residents are accustomed to. However, because of the large business district, proximity to NYC and high quality of life in Yonkers, some may find the expense worthwhile.
Yonkers Attractions and Special Events
One of the many local attractions in Yonkers is the Hudson River Museum. This museum was founded in 1919, and has been educating the community since then. With frequent art exhibitions, a planetarium and a focus on art and science, the museum offers residents opportunities to learn something new with each visit. The museum also hosts lectures, workshops and family-friendly activities, making it a great place to get involved with the community.
Yonkers residents get excited about the annual Riverfest. The free event allows families and neighbors to get together and enjoy a parade, food, art booths and a car show. With the staged performances and street musicians scattered throughout the festival, attendees will find plenty of great entertainment. This event is a wonderful opportunity for Yonkers residents to explore the downtown area and is always a hit with residents.

Greetings I have taken the position of a Blog Moderator, and while a lot has happened so far this week to piqued my interest, one issue caught my attention right away and I felt it was a good theme to start out with.
In the shadow of Oakland's first international cat video convention I stumbled upon a post on a plea to shut down a YouTube video logger's cat hunting videos, this Kuwait based v-logger has posted thirteen videos of their attempts at ridding his local streets of felines.
As a pet owner I can honestly say this doesn't surprise me in the least. All animal infestation is a potential a problem. Over crowding and disease can worry a population. Does this give humans the right to hunt and kill?
Some say yes, an unequivocal yes. I'm hesitant to agree, simply…

Google's new Earth Engine, powered by NASA's landsat satellites, gives a time lapse view of (pretty much) every land surface on earth over the last 25 years. The view is amazing, and inspiring, and at times terrifying.
It can be hard to understand the scale here, but our impacts on this planet are huge, and at this point it's clear that we're putting ourselves in a bit of a tight spot.

Consumers Digest named six Chevy vehicles among their Automotive Best Buys for the 2012 model year
"Few purchases are more important, or require more research than buying a new vehicle," says Randy Weber, Consumers Digest's publisher. "Our analyses underscore our commitment to ensure that consumers are as satisfied with their auto purchase years after making it as they were on the day they drove off the lot."
For the 2012 model year, Chevy was recognized with six Best Buys in four categories. In the Sporty Car category, Corvette (excludes ZR1) was named a Best Buy for its seventh year in a row along with Camaro, which also named for its third year in a row. For Compact SUVs, Equinox was named as a Best Buy for its third year in a row. Under Midsize SUVs, Traverse was named as a Best Buy for its fourth year in a row. For the Family Car category, Malibu nabbed another Best Buy rating for its fourth year in a row, along with Cruze , which earned an automotive Best Buy award for its first year ever.
The impressive turn out of the Consumers Digest Best Buy ratings shows that when that time to buy a new car rolls around, Chevy offers a wide spectrum of vehicle choices to best suit your lifestyle, whatever that may be.
If you're into quenching that thirst for power and performance, maybe it's sportier cars like Corvette or Camaro. If you're looking to navigate the twists and turns of modern-day living, taking you from long work commutes to long road trips with family and friends, then perhaps it's a crossover like Equinox or Traverse . And what if you're looking for that smooth mid-size to compact ride that will have you hitting the road in style, then maybe you'll find Malibu or Cruze among your top picks. For a fuel efficiency car, come and test drive the all-new 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco in Colville!

Chevy Cruze is redefining what a compact car can be.
Cruze has already received the coveted "2012 Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.2
And the accolades keep coming.
U.S. News and World Report has named the 2012 Cruze "Best Compact Car for the Money."
In choosing Cruze as a "Best Compact Car for the Money", U.S. News and World Report noted that Cruze has been praised by automotive journalists for its great fuel economy,3 roomy cabin and upscale feel for the price. They also took note of a number of popular options like Bluetooth wireless technology for select phones,4 steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a USB port.5
The Best Cars for the Money Awards help identify cars that hit quality and value from all sides. The award-winning vehicles have the best combination of praise from car reviewers and lower up-front and long-term ownership costs. In short, the winners aren't just good cars or good values. They're both.
Sounds just like Cruze to us.
A new film, CHEVY100: An American Story, explores the historical and cultural relevance of an iconic brand
A century ago Chevrolet had a notion that cars could be so much more than a utility to get people from point A to B. Chevy set out to make something that would stir up emotion and create an intimate relationship between the vehicles and their drivers. What they created impacted the future of automobiles and American culture more than anyone could have predicted. Director, producer and cinematographer Roger Sherman explores Chevy's affect on the last hundred years in his new documentary CHEVY100: An American Story.
"When I received a call from Chevy asking if I'd make a film about the rich 100-year history of Chevrolet, I thought I was dreaming. Telling the stories of Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle? Pinch me," said Sherman. "I'm so proud to be able to bring the history of this iconic American brand to the public."
Moonshine operations, Hollywood sets and stock car races are just part of the story.
"Those who know something about the history of Chevrolet know that the dream car, now known as the concept car, was invented by Harley Earl, the first vice president of design at GM," said Sherman.
The innovative thinking of the concept car connected automobiles to the drive in a new way, giving Chevy the ability to change with the needs and wants of the driver. This altered the driver's relationship with Chevrolet making it more intimate and personal. Owner or not, who doesn't have a nostalgic Chevy story?
"For over thirty years I've been attracted to telling the stories of real people. I try to find subjects who are passionate about their endeavors whether it be someone who's restoring a '55 Chevy or a Medal of Honor recipient," Sherman continues. "We had the opportunity to travel all over the country filming incredible cars, meeting wonderful people, and hearing amazing personal stories about people's love for their Chevys."
CHEVY100: An American Story airs November 21 on the Velocity Channel.

I guess I'm not either, sorry. I was just saying that, it's a TF movie, not to be compared or associated with Terminator or X-men.
I went there to see Transformers without lingering thoughts of other movies they may have ripped off or had slight similarities in any way.
If I did that every time a new movie came out I would be pissed every weekend.
