Kids were out in full force all across Eastern Carolina Wednesday night filling up their trick or treat bags.
On Paramore Drive in Greenville we saw kids were dressed up in all sorts of creative costumes. There was even a baby turned goldfish who got in on the action. The trick or treaters were excited about how much candy they could get and dressing up for a night of sweets.
Some kids we talked with said they did have their favorite candy they were looking for, but admitted they would take anything!!

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
It's the kind of thing that wakes you up at 3 o'clock in the morning and won't let you go back to sleep: did you make a mistake at your job? The worst of it is, due to the fact that you're human, sooner or later, the answer will be yes. Here's what to do about it.
1. Apologize the right way.
HBR Blog Network has a fantastic post about this, the main takeaway of which is that even when we apologize, we tend to make it about ourselves and not about the person who's affected by the mistake.
"When you screw up, the victim of your screw up does not want to hear about you," Heidi Grant Halvorson writes. "Therefore, stop talking about you and put the focus of your apology where it belongs: on him or her. Specifically, concentrate on how the victim has been affected by your mistake, on how the person is feeling, and on what he or she needs from you in order to move forward."
2. Figure out what you can do to make things right.
Don't be the career equivalent of that person who knocks over someone's papers, shrugs, and walks away. Invest your time and energy into fixing the problem. At the very least, try to minimize the effort required by others to put things back in order.
3. Try not to make the same mistake twice.
Think about how you made the mistake. Could a process change prevent a similar error in the future? Even if the answer is no, taking a moment to think about what you could do differently -- without beating yourself up -- will make you more deliberate. The more thoughtful we are, the less likely we are to make careless mistakes.

Enough of this wanton OT merriment - it is already decided I am an elixir consumer!
I am interested without regard for the wider question we are banging on about within other threads solely what your take is on that footnote?
IMO the answer does not/can not weaken your thesis on null at all so please be assured I am not a false dawn trying to craft a chink and I therefore encourage you to be frank and to the point.

Price Paid: USD 595.00
Submitted by Infinite Voyager
Features : 10
Gloss finish, Orchestra Model w/cutaway, Grover tuners, Thin neck, Fishman Electronics Tuner/Equalizer, Rosewood fretboard, Mahogany back and sides with a spruce top.
Sound : 10
It works great for for flat or finger picking country. Has a rich sound but not as much volume, because of the smaller body size of the Orchestra Model. But if I need more volume than that, it gets plugged into the amp. So far, I like everything about it.
Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
Denny Zager personally sets these guitars up one at a time himself, and does an excellent job. I can't speak for anyone else, but mine came with no visible flaws at all and was in perfect tune when it arrived. The only thing at all and it was very minor. The nut had somewhat of an edge to it and was rubbing on my index finger on certain chords a little more than I like. Just a little light smoothing took care of it easily. Other than that it was excellent. Great action and no buzzing.
Reliability/Durability : 10
I haven't played with it professionally yet, but see no reason why you couldn't. It is a well constructed guitar that looks as good as it plays. I feel it will be a dependable instrument for years to come. Plus the fact that the Zager guarantee is very good. As honest as these people are, I feel they would make it right if it fell apart unnecessarily due to faulty workmanship. As far as the finish, it looks great, but it will take time to find out true durability.
Customer Support : 10
Zager guitars have as good of warranty as you will find. Besides the 100% money back guarantee, they will pay shipping both ways. Over the telephone they were very helpful with everything, and their email correspondence is equally good. Very quick response.
Overall Rating : 10
I have played off and on since 1982. I bought this guitar mainly because of such high ratings, curious if it had the quality and was easy to play like many were saying in their testimonials. If it were stolen would I buy it again? Absolutely. I honestly feel dollar for dollar you won't find a guitar that plays or sounds better. I am still amazed at what you get for your money with this instrument. If you need bragging rights, go spend several thousand on a top name guitar, and have one that plays probably no better than this one. Give any of the Zager guitars a fair try, and I think you'll find the quality and value is there. They are really quite user friendly.

After 30 years, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down from office. Much like the start of the uprising, reaction is pouring in on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Here's a look at some of the first tweets and most memorable early quotations.
BBC News and the Huffington Post were among the first news organizations to tweet the news of Mubarak's resignation:
@BBCWorld: Secretary General of #Egypt's ruling NDP party, Hossam Badrawi, resigns a day after he told BBC he'd asked President #Mubarak to step down
@BBCBreaking: President #Mubarak has stepped down as president of #Egypt, Vice-President Suleiman announces
@HuffingtonPost: ALERT: #Egypt's vice president says Mubarak has stepped down http://huff.to/egyptnews
Wael Ghonim, the 30-year-old Google executive who is hailed as a "cyber-activist" after creating a Facebook page for an Egyptian allegedly killed in a police brutality incident, responded:
@Ghonim: (Congratulations to Egypt …The offender left the palace) مبروك لمصر .. المجرم غادر القصر
@Ghonim:The real hero is the young Egyptians in Tahrir square and the rest of Egypt #Jan25
@Ghonim: Dear Western Governments, You've been silent for 30 years supporting the regime that was oppressing us. Please don't get involved now #Jan25
Leading Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei:
"This is the greatest day of my life. The country has been liberated"
@waelkhairy88: It's impossible to describe the electricity in the air. It's time to celebrate all night. Thank you all so much for your support. #EGYPT
@monasosh: Ppl are screaming " long live the revolution" we finally got rid of him #Jan25
@NadiaE: Egyptians revolution peacefully, in style and with a great sense of humor. I am so proud of my people! #jan25
@Egyptocracy: The moment when #Mubarak stepped down. Presidential Palace 11Feb2011. #Egypt #Jan25 http://twitvid.com/BK7HZ
@Gemyhood: Im Egyptian and im Freeeeee #Egypt #Jan25
@seksek: Smaller challenge is over, now the big one has started, can we build this country? #egypt #jan25
And a few tweets from the media:
@brianstelter: CNN's Blitzer: "Tunisia, then Egypt. What's next?" @Ghonim: "Ask Facebook."
@hereandnow: just spoke to @Ghonim : he told us "welcome back egypt.. in 20 days we became 20 million… until we found you [egypt] welcome back egypt!
@LaraABCNews: Mubarak steps down, Army rules, Egypt hoping to transition to a free and open democracy. It will be hard won. #Tahrir
@bencnn: The Mubarak regime miscalculated the people of #Egypt from day one (#Jan25). No matter what regime did, the people always won. #Egypt

I had arrived in Tokyo one week earlier having left Vancouver on Feb. 25 and flown to Narita on JAL 747-400 JA8088.
My wife was already in Japan visiting her family and on Thursday March 5 and we were heading to Bangkok for 10 days of R an R in Thailand. My wife's parents got up bright and early and, with the nav system loaded on the Subaru for the trip from Obukuro to Narita, we began our drive to the airport at 0700.
We arrived at terminal 2 at 0830 and checked in, we had already reserved our seats a few days before so the check in process went quite quickly. We headed up stairs to enjoy breakfast with the in-laws and I snook out on to the south observation deck to check out the action and snap a few photos.
We said our goodbyes and went through security at about 0950, one hour before departure time, there was not much of a line up at security or immigration so we were at the gate, 63, in no time. Our aircraft, 747-400 JA8076 was being loaded and fueled.
At the next gate, 64, was 777-300ER JA731J bound for London.
Boarding commenced at 1020, we left the gate on time at 1050 and taxied to runway 16 Right for departure.

Thousands of Canadians stood at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Friday, November 11, 2011, mindful of more than 100,000 Canadian soldiers who have sacrificed their lives on behalf of our country, for freedom, for their comrades, for every Canadian.
The Ottawa Remembrance Day ceremony is the largest in the country, observed officially on November 11 since 1931. The crowd is joined by the Prime Minister, the Governor General and the Silver Cross Mother, a mother who has lost a child in action. Patricia Braun's son, Cpl. David Braun, was killed in Kandahar in 2006.
It's hard to find a jacket or scarf among the Ottawa thousands without a crimson poppy. The powerful symbol of recollection and hope was adopted in Canada in 1921, because the flower was the first thing to take root above the hastily dug graves of Flanders Fields after World War I. After the service hundreds silently laid their poppies on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Many attending the ceremony were eager to speak about the significance of the day, if only to say, "Thank you."
Slideshow by Marlin OlynykAudio by Carolina Novotny and Nick WalkerText by Nick Walker
Carolina Novotny is a journalist and world traveler. Nick Walker is pursuing his master's degree in history at the University of Ottawa. Both are editorial interns at Canadian Geographic.
I am so glad to see that Canadians from all of the provinces with many diverse histories all come together in remembrance of their similarities: the mourning of a loved one, or a close friend but most of all, a fellow Canadian hero.
P.S. I dedicate this message to all of my family members who served in the World Wars, some of which whom never came home.

Drake (7)
Nickname: Bulldogs.
Location: Des Moines.
Enrollment: 3,295.
Record: 23-7, 15-3 in Missouri Valley.
NCAA history: 4-8. Last appearance: 2001, first round.
Coach: Lisa Stone, 44-13 in two seasons.
Starters: F Erin Richards, 6-0, Sr. (11.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 42.5 3FG%, 90.0
FT%); F Maureen Head, 6-1, So. (7.8 ppg, 5.4 rpg); C Carla Bennett, 6-3, Jr.

(1.6 ppg, 1.8 rpg).

despite the return of four starters from last year's tournament team, Bennett's
All-America-caliber season and good balance around her. Anderson, a two-time
Division III All-American, was productive after transferring from Wisconsin-Eau
Claire (Stone's former school), and a total of four players average in double

2.4 spg, 47.6% FG, 69.7% FT); G Monique Currie, 6-0, Fr. (14.6 ppg, 5.7 rpg,
50.9% FG, 74.8% FT, 15.4% 3-Pt FG); G Alana Beard, 5-11, So. (19.1 ppg, 6.2
rpg, 5.0 apg, 3.3 spg, 57.9% FG, 74.3% FT, 46.0% 3-Pt FG); G Vicki Krapohl,
5-5, So. (4.5 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.9 apg, 47.1% FG, 75.0% FT, 47.5% 3-Pt FG).
Reserves: F Wynter Whitley, 6-2, Fr. (7.9 ppg, 4.7 rebounds, 43.5% 3-Pt
FG); G Sheana Mosch, 5-10, Jr. (9.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 2.5 apg, 85.4% FT); G Krista
Gingrich, 5-9, Sr. (5.4 ppg, 94.7% FT, 46.8 3-Pt FG).
Outlook: Blue Devils' overall quickness and athletic ability are strengths.
They've been called the most athletic team Duke has ever had and are excellent
in transition. They were second in the nation in scoring (85.2 ppg). Although
the squad only goes about 8 deep, everybody plays well together and knows their
role. They lack a true center and usually go with a 3-guard, 2-forward lineup.
Gingrich is really a shooting guard, who has been pressed into service backing
up and Krapohl at the point. They average only 16.6 turnovers a game and shoot
well. However, the Devils could be vulnerable to a team with an inside presence.
They have only one senior.
Did you know: Duke was only the second team in ACC women's history to
go 16-0 in the league in the regular season. Virginia did it eleven years ago.
Indiana (9)
Nickname: Hoosiers.
Location: Bloomington.
Enrollment: 37,076.
Record: 17-13, 8-8 in Big Ten.
NCAA history: 1-3. Last appearance: 1995, (first round).
Coach: Kathi Bennett, 37-24 in two seasons.
Starters: C Jill Chapman, 6-5, Sr. (16.3 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 54.5 FG%); G Heather
Cassady, 5-7, Sr. (12.7 ppg, 3.9 apg, 3.4 rpg); F Erin McGinnis, 6-1, Sr. (12.3
ppg, 6.3 rpg, 3.4 apg, 83.3 FT%); G Tara Jones, 5-11, Sr. (7.1 ppg); G/F Jenny
DeMuth, 5-10 Fr. (7.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg ).
Reserves: G/F Jill Hartman, 5-11, Jr. (3.0 ppg); G Khisa Asubuhi, 6-0,
Jr. (3.0 ppg); F /G Jamie Gathing, 6-0, (2.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg).
Overview: Hoosiers have gone on an amazing 6-1 run since Bennett broke
her neck in a Feb. 8 car wreck and returned to the bench Feb. 24. Won Big Ten
tourney to get automatic berth. Team foundation is defense. Cassady and Chapman
are a good outside-inside duo, getting help from others. Seniors had never beaten
Purdue until a 55-41 win in the Big Ten semis.
Did you know: In 1999 Bennett and her father, then-Wisconsin men's coach
Dick Bennett, became the first father-child combination to take teams to the
Liberty (14)
Nickname: Lady Flames.
Location: Lynchburg, Va.
Enrollment: 8,500.
Record: 23-7, 13-1 in Big South.
NCAA history: 0-5. Last appearance: 2001, first round.
Coach: Carey Green, 64-27 in three seasons.
Starters: C Meribeth Feenstra, 6-7, Jr. (5.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2.56 bpg);
F Kristina Palaimaite, 6-3, So. (4.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 0.9 bpg); G Kristal Tharp,
5-10, Fr. (9.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg); G Diana Stagaitiene, 5-10, Fr., (4.4 ppg, 1.9
rpg, 2.56 apg); G Stephanie Walker, 5-8, Fr. (8.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg).
Reserves: C Katie Feenstra, 6-8, Fr. (10.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg); F Crystal Peace,
6-0, So. (6.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg); G Monique Leonard, 5-9, So. (5.8 ppg, 3.0 rpg,
2.9 apg); G Laura Rollyson, 5-5, Sr. (4.8 ppg); G Rachel Young, 5-8, Sr. (3.5
ppg); F Susan Foreid, 6-0, So, (3.2 ppg, 3.1 rpg).
Outlook: The Lady Flames have won the Big South title for six consecutive
years. A young team, their chances of advancing probably aren't very good, but
they are at least interesting to watch because their height could cause match-up
problems. Katie Feenstra and her sister Meribeth are the tallest sets of teammates
in Division I women's basketball. No other team has two teammates that are at
least 6-7. Katie is also one of three 6-8 players in Division I, tying for the
tallest in the nation. Tharp was the conference rookie of the year.
Did you know: Three freshmen led the team in scoring. It also happened
in 1996-97.
Louisiana Tech (5)
Nickname: Lady Techsters

must prove themselves against the nation's elite. Three of their four regular-season
losses were to Connecticut, Tennessee and Duke. In their new league, the Techsters
were dominant with Ford, WAC player of the year, proving a solid inside complement
to Walker. Both must be more consistent at the free throw line. Tech's pressure
defense produces more than 11 steals a game. Smith was WAC co-freshman of the
year with Fresno State's Aritta Lane.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Jerry Sandusky will walk into state prison with little more than a watch and wedding band. He'll be able to work a 30-hour week to make a few dollars. He'll be able to watch Penn State football, but not violent movies.
If the former Penn State defensive coach is sentenced Tuesday to a long state prison term, he will find himself far removed from the comfortable suburban life he once led, placed under the many rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
Even Sandusky's own attorney believes that whatever sentence he gets, at age 68 Sandusky will likely live out his days inside a state prison. Prison officials, written policies and former offenders provided a detailed look to The Associated Press about the regimented life behind bars that Sandusky faces.
Article Photos
Sandusky has been housed in isolation inside the Centre County Correctional Facility in Bellefonte since his conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, and has spent his days reading and writing, preparing a statement for sentencing, and working out twice a day, defense attorney Joe Amendola said.
"Jerry is a very likable guy - he gets along with everybody," Amendola said last week, as he worked with Sandusky to help get his affairs in order, including a power of attorney and updated will. "He's a model inmate. He doesn't cause problems, he's sociable, he's pleasant."
Assuming Judge John Cleland gives him at least two years - the minimum threshold for a state prison sentence - Sandusky's first stop will be the Camp Hill state prison near Harrisburg, where all male inmates undergo a couple weeks of testing to determine such things as mental and physical health, education level and any treatment needs.
Prison officials will assign him a security level risk and decide which "home prison" to send him to.
Although Sandusky's home in the Lemont area of State College is only a couple miles from Rockview state prison, there is no way to predict where he will end up.
Older inmates sometimes end up at Laurel Highlands, which can better treat more severe medical problems, or Waymart, a comparatively lower-security prison in the state's northeastern corner.
The roughly 6,800 sex offenders are scattered throughout the prison system, which has no special units for them. Treatment is available for sex offenders, and those who hope to be paroled have to participate.
"My guess is he'll wind up in a minimum-security facility, and probably a facility for nonviolent people," Amendola said.

2007 BMW 335i Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2007 BMW 335i (3 Reviews)
Why does everyone whine when talking about their "ultimate driving machine"? Quit crying. You knew they rode stiff when you test drove them. Electricals are fine. I've had 5 fuel pumps replaced, under warranty. I have 77000 on the odometer, and the car just keeps getting better and better. If you want a softer riding car, get a Camry! Grow up and enjoy the ride.
I am also disappointed with the ride experience of the 335i. Beautiful car - fast, sleek, but drive on your standard highway or local road and be prepared for the unpleasant ride. Every small bump in the road feels like large pot hole - boom! I even had to replace the front rim $335 USD...it had a crack in it at 38K miles. The tire place said "this is common with these rims" I am now jealous of my girlfriends late model Subaru...takes the road bumps like a champ. Time to turn in the keys, go cheap and get something that takes the road like a real car. BMW = Bring Money With
I bought this car with very low miles, back in Sept. 2008. This car is a blast to drive! It handles amazing, aside for around sharp turns. I gave the "body, interior & Misc." category only 4 stars, purely because I've had an issue with the high pressure fuel pump, which apparently has been changed 3 times due to some flaws. At this point, the car drives great with no problems.

So – you've just purchased a shiny new iPad, PlayBook or Android tablet, have you? Tablets open up a whole new world of technology and can be incredibly entertaining and useful machines for all sorts of circumstances. Let's take a quick look at three tips to help extract the most fun and enjoyment from that new tablet.
There's Always an App for ThatNo matter what you want to use your iPad or Android tablet for, there's a high probability that someone has created an app for that specific purpose. Spend some time browsing through the various categories of apps that are available for your tablet and be sure to try out any that catch your eye. Whether it's using your tablet as a fitness tracker or to determine exactly where certain constellations of stars will be appearing in the night sky, there is an app for nearly every interest and conceivable task.
Keyboards and Other Accessories can Really HelpWhile most individuals usually have one or two specific purposes in mind when buying a tablet, such as watching movies while traveling or playing games, they quickly discover that their new tablet is capable of much more. If you find yourself constantly writing emails on your tablet, consider buying an inexpensive keyboard that can save you the strain of typing on a touchscreen for long periods of time. Conversely, if you find that you are drawing on your tablet with your fingers on a regular basis, take a look at a stylus that can make drawing on glass far easier. There is a massive market for tablet accessories for a reason: cases, stands, keyboards and other accessories can greatly improve your tablet experience.
Remember your 'Tablet Ergonomics'
Since the first iPad came on to the market, users started noticing that their neck and eyes were subject to strain after long periods of tablet use. Tablets are no different than computers in this regard, and proper ergonomic practices can end up saving pain and discomfort over the long term. Take regular breaks, stretch and be sure to have the room adequately lit when using your tablet. Your body will thank you for it!
There are limitless uses for tablets like the iPad with more apps and accessories being created on a regular basis. Tablets truly look to be the future of computing, so if you haven't taken the opportunity to play around with one get out there and try one out today!

We present an algorithm for automatic image orientation estimation using a Bayesian learning framework. We demonstrate that a small codebook (the optimal size of codebook is selected using a modified MDL criterion) extracted from a vector quantizer can be used to estimate the class-conditional densities of the observed features needed for the Bayesian methodology. We further show how feature clustering can be used as a featue selection mechanism to remove redundancies in the high dimensional feature vectors used for classification. Experiments on a a database of 17,901 images have shown that our proposed algorithm achieves an accuracy of approximately 97% on the training set and over 89% on an independent test set.

BOSTON The New England Patriots make it easy for fans to feel spoiled. Since Bill Belichick took over as head coach in 2000, the Pats have only missed the playoffs three times. But when the team faces the Houston Texans in the NFL's divisional round Sunday afternoon, it will be a moment to savor for wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.
This is the 10-year NFL veteran's first trip to the playoffs. He'd gotten used to having other plans this time of year.
"I'd be at the Sundance Film Festival, on my way to the Bahamas, all kinds of different stuff," Lloyd said with a laugh, during a press conference Thursday at Gillette Stadium.
But now, Lloyd is exactly where he wants to be.
"Ever since [I was] a kid, the ultimate goal is to play in the Super Bowl and the only way to get to the Super Bowl is to make it to the playoffs," Lloyd said. "This is a step along the way to the ultimate goal for all of us."
The Patriots are coming off a first-round bye. In their last meeting with Houston on Dec. 10, 2012, the Pats demolished the Texans in Foxborough, 42-14. But Belichick knows even when you've seen a team recently it's dangerous to make assumptions during the playoffs.
"You get in an NFL game and think you're going to get this and then you get that. Or you think they're going to play this guy and they play some other guy," Belichick said Friday. "You face new challenges. That's part of gamesmanship and part of the competition. You figure out which team can do it better than the other one."
Unlike the last meeting, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have tight end Rob Gronkowski and wide receiver Deion Branch at his disposal. Gronkowski is back from a broken forearm and Branch resigned with the team after being released earlier in the season. Meanwhile, the Texans are coming off a playoff win over Cincinnati last weekend in which Houston running back Arian Foster had 140 yards rushing and a touchdown.
Recent history shows rematches in the playoffs can be trouble for the Pats. They've lost four of their last five playoff games against teams they played in the regular season, including two Super Bowl losses to the New York Giants.

From Lissa: I wrote this post yesterday, before a massive tsunami hit Japan this morning and made me wonder if the story of my internal war was too self-absorbed to post on the day a worldwide natural disaster strikes. I thought about taking it down. But then I realized it's perfect. We are always at war in some way- globally, internally. The secret lies in finding peace in the midst of war, for this is achievable, even when natural disasters, injustices, and war are unavoidable. May we pray for victims of the tsunami, but also for those of us who find ourselves at war with ourselves.
Something in me is trying to come out. I can feel it like this alien in my belly, a twisting and turning devil fetus with sharp claws. My life is not roses and violets right now. It's dark nights of the soul mixed with moments of deep spiritual connection. It's glorious triumphs and heart-wrenching disappointments. It's heartfelt new friendships and tragic relationship losses.
Which is SOO not me. I'm the eternal optimist. I'm Pollyanna. I'm peaches and cream. I can find the good in every situation.
But something about this feels necessary. It feels like a power struggle between opposing forces within me. It feels like WAR.
I don't think of myself as the warrior type. I resonate more with Kwan Yin than Kali. But the Gremlin deep within me is sick and tired of peace and strawberries. The Gremlin is fed up with needling me with little prickers and has resorted to swords. The Gremlin is trying to slay dreams and tackle my calling, and this calls for action. Because I have not come this far to back down.
The War is not happening in words. It's happening in my body. It wants to dance its way out more than talk or write about it. It doesn't want to do yoga right now. It wants to karate chop and grind in hip circles and GET. PISSED. OFF.
I'm not exactly sure why. But I'm going with it for now.
I feel much like the women I have spent a decade assisting when they give birth. The ones without epidurals. The ones who are fighting to bring this baby into the world with every fiber of their being. The ones who scream and cuss and sweat and writhe around, undulating on their knees on the floor because they can't stand to lie in a bed.
And at the same time, I feel compelled to laugh out loud at the pure beauty of the aliveness I feel.
The weird thing is that I have a strange peace in the midst of all this. This feels very temporary. Like labor, you know it will only last so long. You can't really even medicate it away, because in the end, the drugs don't keep you from noticing that a bowling ball is plopping out of your pussy.
And like labor, The War feels very necessary. You just can't skip it, so you might as well breathe through the process, having faith that, when it's all over, you will look back and realize that it was all worth it.
I feel like I must wrangle this beast because something big is about to happen. Some big change is coming soon and I must be ready for it.
Either that, or I'm merely delusional. Which I must admit I sometimes consider.
You might think I sound a bit like Charlie Sheen right now. But really, I'm not. I promise, I'm not failing to medicate some undiagnosed bipolar disorder. This doesn't feel like mental illness.
I've faced The Gremlin many times while creating the Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course. And I fought The Gremlin again in learning how to authentically market it. In fact, I credit my marketing coaching Angela Lauria with being my midwife to whatever it is I'm birthing, because she has helped guide me through this painful process. And even though it's been messy (as you can read in the comments here), show me any beautiful birth that didn't leave blood and poo on the sheets.
So things aren't easy right now. And I'm walking through the shadow, but perhaps that's good for me -- and good for all of you to witness. My friend Sheila once told me she had trouble trusting me until she could see my shadow.
I had my doubts about sharing this with you. Especially after Owning Pink's editor Lauren wrote this in response to reading it:
Honey, what the f-ck are you so upset about??
You are ROCKIN IT. I don't want to define what success is for you -- but as far as I can tell, you are making a living BEING YOURSELF. You are the living, breathing proof behind the pudding of Get Out Of Your Own Way (ok, perhaps still working on it, but you know what I mean). You have zeroed in on a f-cking fantastic and powerful Owning Pink tag-line ("because women are friggin' powerful"). You are writing from the heart in a way that I understand to be both easy and pleasurable for you, and being rewarded for it with increased traffic. You write a letter each week that boatloads of people have opted in to receive. When you are just being you -- doing what you do, writing what you want to write, collaborating with folks who inspire you -- you seem happy. And then honestly, the labels kick in and scare the shit out of you. You can't just be writing blog posts -- you're suddenly Leading A Movement, Alone. Or when people respond to your newsletter with support, you are threatened by The Bigness Of Your Calling.
Now, I don't doubt the bigness of your calling. Nor the caliber of your leadership. But it seems like you only get upset when your brain starts floating to those buzz words. On a daily basis, you love what you do. You stripped off the white coat. You wear pigtails and rock cartwheels. On the whole, you are loved and loving, supported and supportive. Why does it feel so hard?
I had my doubts about posting this, but I'm doing it anyway. I told Lauren I don't expect her -- or you -- to understand. Sometimes life is hard even when it doesn't make any sense. I know it might look like everything is going great in my life -- and it is. But it's still uncomfortable. And I don't feel the need to explain it much further.
All I can say is this is WAR: a war between my faith and my fear, between my calling to Bigness and my tendency to curl into a ball and shrink, between my certainty and my doubt.
It's hard. But that doesn't make it wrong. And I don't need sympathy or advice. While I appreciate the guidance of those I trust, I also realize that this spiritual grappling is something I alone must do.
And sometimes things really do get darkest just before the dawn.
What about you? Have you ever felt like this? Do you wrangle your demons? Can you make peace with your shadow? Show us your dark side, my friends. Tell us your stories.

The spiritual slide. Makes so many images come to mind. A children's slide, a slide to the edge of my seat, a slide backwards down the stairs. But it all means MOVEMENT, right? So I'm moving. And I'm OWNING it.
Thank you for getting it!
SO much love
Yes, I went through what I call a "spiritual slide", meaning my learning curve had peaked to the point it threatening to cave back in on itself. For 2 years I felt frustrated, lost, crazy, confused, and absolutely heart broke. There were entire weeks when it felt as if deep sadness was waterfalling out of my chest.
When I realized the depth of what I needed to go through and understood it would take awhile to work itself out, I turned to God and said, "MAKE THIS WORTH IT!! If I'm going to go through this misery, then let me learn as much as I possibly can. Let no stone go unturned."
I wouldn't give up a single second on that spiritual slide. It completely changed my life and the lives of those who helped me through it.
So your having a slide of you own. How empowering to see you own your Gremlin and validate the unpleasant truth. Eventually, the slide will slow and you'll find yourself in a glorious new territory. :)
All my love and support!!
See, that's the thing- I am ALL that. I am sweet. And I am fierce. And I can be bitchy. And I'm incredibly loving. And it just happens when you catch me. And in what circumstance (being on stage in front of a roomful of people isn't necessarily the same as when I'm sitting alone with my computer, writing).
But yes, we must embrace ALL those parts to be truly, deeply whole.
Thanks for noticing Lisa!
When I met you in Austin, I was so confused. You were so much...sweeter than I thought you would be. And I don't mean that in the best way possible, UNLESS it's who you really are. Whenever my friends tell me I'm sweet, I tell them they don't know me very well, or they're just projecting ;) Sure, sometimes authenticity is sweet, but what I like and relate to about your brand of authenticity is the FIERCENESS of it all!!
Another thing I love about your blog is your uncanny ability to express yourself. In the end, you often give me the words I need to articulate what I'm feeling. I aspire to this level of openness and eloquence. The uncanny comes in because you are so effing tapped into the whole. No matter what I'm personally going through, I can always relate at least a little, usually a LOT, to your posts.
To me, this war you describe feels like coming into your (my) own. It's not wrangling demons, it's making friends with them, then letting them do what they do best: create real change in this world.
Pollyanna is a perfect archetype for preserving the peace, or the status quo if you will. Make no mistake, she serves me well. But damnit when something's gotta give, she's gotta go. That's when I call in my shadow/demon. It's the side of me that isn't afraid of the dark - isn't afraid of going to war with other demons.
That said, a happy, successful existence makes me the PERFECT person to fight for a cause - my internal resources are intact and full, Pollyanna and Shadow alike.
Thank you for sharing as always Lissa!
I hate it when people say: 'Oh, you've got everything! What are you crying about?' HATE it! Nobody knows what another person goes through, or even why their going through it, unless they've walked in that person's shoes. Then and only then, can they even remotely begin to 'get it!'
I'm standing behind you 110%!!
I so appreciate the support.
Thank you for being ALL YOU. Your honest, gritty posts help me so much. I realize that I'm not the only one who has these feelings. I get to see another perspective to help walk through those feelings. Your authenticity gives me the courage to share me, all me, with others.
I wrote a poem recently on what my fear looks like:
The Beast Within
In the dark swamp of my thoughts
there lives a behemoth beast
covered in bristly hairs that would melt tweezers
and I named him
Keep on keeping on Baby Cakes!
You are definitely hitting on all cylinders, Lissa. That blasted Dark Side jumps out and tries to beat us back to where we were. Maybe this bit of enlightenment that I experienced a couple of weeks ago will help. The inner voice of light spoke up, as it occasionally does, and said "It doesn't always have to be hard."
It is a bit surreal to read your description of your current transformative experience...mine is so parallel in so many ways...it's a bit freaky really! In fact I recently had a shamanic journey done where the birthing imagery was so strikingly aligned with what you recount here:
"Something in me is trying to come out. I can feel it like this alien in my belly, a twisting and turning devil fetus with sharp claws."
The details and flavor of mine are slightly different, but the essence of this spiritual birthing experience are so familiar and unfortunately not a walk in the park for sure.
In the inner work I have been doing over the last few months I have become firmly resolved in my personal and business missions, it has also become clear that I have been holding on to some layers of energetic sludge that have no place in my present or future. Yet time and space has been needed in order for me to do the necessary "clearing and prepping of the land" in order to provide the seeds of these powerful, vibrant, and fulfilling missions to take root on a firm fertile foundation and grow to abundance. Unfortunately patience has never been my strong suit so spirit is arranging for me to get a little practice in that department as well. ;)
As for the Kali energy - I have also never viewed myself as a warrior yet I recently had my business Soul Languages identified and one of my three languages is the Graceful Warrior. As soon as I saw those two words juxtaposed together I instantly felt the divine fit of this. Because for me the Graceful Warrior represents the harmonic and integrated union of the divine masculine and divine feminine energies working in unison...which is what I am all about. So keep leaning in my dear. I believe you are right on target about this birthing process and as uncomfortable as it is it is both necessary and temporary to produce profound beauty on the other side.
I delight in your courage, vulnerability, and power my friend - that is true beauty!
I hear you, Lissa. I'm coming face to face with my own shadow self right now and am fighting too. I am at turns ANGRY and desolate. And I have realized that my anger and depression at feeling caged only keeps me in the cage that I have imposed on myself in exchange for "safety".
I don't have any words of wisdom, just wanted you to know I'm standing there with you in the Darkness knowing the certainty of our Light.
Lissa, thank you for your blood and bones and sweat honesty. I have these times, boy do I have them! I can't even say what it is that is happening for me during them, but it is dark, it is descent, it is hanging on the hooks in the underworld like the great Inanna did. You bring an eloquence to a feeling that I'll bet alot of us encounter, especially those of us who are trying to hear the calling, and act on it, instead of staying in the daily routine of waking, working in a job we have no passion for, making dinner and sleeping.
A huge thanks for this very raw and honest post!
You know Laurie, they say we teach what we need to learn. We are all students- and we are all teachers. Just because we are still growing doesn't mean we can't teach what we've learned along the way.
In fact, I have a strict un-guru policy. I never claim to have it all figured out. I just lead by example- and sometimes that means going through the muck and teaching what I learn in the midst of the process.
If you're curious about how I do that (and how you could too) I'd love to have you be part of the beta-launch of the e-course before we go wide with it!
Thank you for being here with us, sweetie.
Big hugs
Yes Dana, I am ready to take on Kali.
And Laurie, I appreciate the validation. In defense of Lauren, we've been having conversations that go beyond what was in this post, so she was referring not just to this post, but to the whole shebang, and much of it is about me facing my own fears of success, change and the unknown.
In fact that was my homework for today, to finish filming an hour-long coaching session about facing our fears of success, change, and the unknown for the Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course I'm developing. So I just spoke to a camera for an hour straight about this very topic and offered all my best tips for dealing with the fear of the bigness.
Time for me to take my own advice!
Lissa, I would love to watch your video and hear how you face these fears. Congratulations on owning and redirecting your gremlins.
Your eCourse sounds FANTASTIC (and like something I could use!). And more congratulations to you for having the courage to use your own material and to teach something you're working through. That's a challenge of mine ... teaching before I have things figured out. Perhaps your example will inspire me!
Glad to be connected with your work and everyone associated with Owning Pink. Have a fabulous weekend!
Hi Lissa, I am new to your blog and so grateful to have been referred to this post. Your words and your editor's response touched something visceral in me.
You wrote: "Sometimes life is hard even when it doesn't make any sense." This has been my experience as well. Amazing reminder that our emotions are not rational. They just are. We have to name them and sit with them to move through them.
Although I imagine your editor meant well by acknowledging all of your incredible accomplishments, she also questioned what you're so upset about and why it feels so hard. Her response reminded me of something Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC, calls "life-alienating communication".
When we question people's feelings we are not seeing them or hearing them. Seeing our outside accomplishments is not the same as seeing our insides.
Thank you for taking the risk and posting this anyway.
Your story reminds me that success is as scary as failure. And that external success can coexist with our dark night of the soul ... and that perhaps this is normal. Enough people don't talk about that.
We see movie stars, athletes, and politicians fall into drugs, sex, and addictions at the height of their success ... we see the external manifestations of these "dark nights of the soul" ... but rarely do people talk about what's happening internally while it is happening.
Thanks for your courage. You have inspired me.
Yes. She's in me too and has been making herself known of late. I am working on channeling her energy to give me strength and she's much easier to live with that way. Good luck bringing her to task.
When you comment on an Owning Pink blog post, we invite you to be authentic and loving, to say what you feel, to hold sacred space so others feel heard, and to refrain from using hurtful or offensive language. Differing opinions are welcomed, but if you cannot express yourself in a respectful, caring manner, your comments will be deleted by the Owning Pink staff.

Why Culture Matters
Bertsch, Charlie, Tikkun
[BOOKS] Why Culture Matters CHARLIE BERTSCH PRETEND WE'RE DEAD: Capitalist Monsters in American Pop Culture, by Annalee Newitz. Duke University Press, 2006.
ACADEMIC SCHOLARship on popular culture starts by confronting a paradox. In trying to take seriously books, films, and records that weren't intended to be taken that seriously-at least from an intellectual standpoint-scholars risk having their own work trivialized. Nobody who writes about Shakespeare, Hitler's rise to power, or the matriarchal structure of a small South American tribe has to justify their research topic to their colleagues. But if you want to write about the role of Shakespeare on the Star Trek: Next Generation holodeck, Darth Sidious's rise to power in the Star Wars series, or the gender politics of Xena: Warrior Princess, you are bound to encounter befuddlement, if not outright mockery. This is why those in the academy who study popular culture tend to protest the importance of their work a little too vociferously, and also why some ofthe people who do it best end up pursuing other career opportunities.
Annalee Newitz, who writes a popular syndicated column on technology and contributes regularly to magazines like Wired, falls into the latter category. As she explains in the acknowledgements to Pretend We're Dead, the book began as a dissertation project. That it ended somewhere else was clearly a boon for her prose. After beginning the book with a brief discussion ofthe film The Sixth Sense, in which she describes the dead, whom the young character Cole sees as, "spirits who cannot rest until they get some kind of closure on their lives," she turns to the Blair Witch Project:
Of course, some ghosts could give a crap about closure. Certainly this is the case with the bloodthirsty sprits who haunt the remote Maryland woods in Blair Witch. When a bunch of art students decide to slum it around the countryside to get footage for a sarcasm-laced film they're making about the legend of these spirits, they discover what documentary filmmakers have known for almost a century: the natives don't appreciate their condescending attitude.
This is writing that, like those pissedoff Maryland ghosts, hits its point with the force of a hammer. But that doesn't make the point any less sophisticated than it would have looked buried in a halfpage sentence full of abstract terminology.
Although Pretend We're Dead is clearly the product of someone who has thought long and hard about her topic, it is also refreshingly free ofthe secondary and tertiary references that make most university press books of this kind a tough read. …

I've got The Raleigh, and now... The Gazelle! For rides and fun, visit http://rideblog.wordpress.com/
Even on smooth tarseal it's giving me Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at the front, haemorrhoids at the back, and chronic perineal... well, never mind.
Anyway, I like the idea of pinching the overinflated tyre in the vise, but I have the wonderfull full chaincase which renders removing the rear wheel about as much fun as a colonoscopy.
Unless I can get a second pair of hands to hold the whole bike up in the air while I position the rear tyre in the vise...

Better solution: Bolt the vise to the garage floor. The technique is to grab the tire on either side of the offending area and rock and pull to seat the bead. Then reposition the gripping device closer to ground zero and repeat. Took me about a half dozen pinch-rock and pulls to get the tire seated. Good luck, I used close to 100 psi in a 70 psi tire.Anyway, I like the idea of pinching the overinflated tyre in the vise, but I have the wonderfull full chaincase which renders removing the rear wheel about as much fun as a colonoscopy.

I've never had a serious problem with the Kendas on my Stock steel Raleigh-pattern "Westrick" rims. Before I had the Kendas I had a couple of older tires that were on the bike when I took possession of it (not the original Dunlops as they were long wore out 50 years ago even). I put them on and took them off a few times while messing around with the bike and a few times they didn't quite want to seat properly and since they were so old and deteriorating I was loath to over-inflate them.
But it wasn't a problem that couldn't be solved by deflating the tire and re-adjusting the bead a little bit on the rim and reinflating. I don't think it ever took more than two tries to get one to seat. Then again I used to race motorcycles and getting certain tires with wheel-locks to seat on an abused/raced off-road rim is much more difficult sometimes. Bicycle tires/rims are cake in comparison.
But the Kenda K35's were no problem at all for me. I've heard that people who have replaced their rims with alloy CR-18's report some fitment issues sometimes. Some feel they are made a little large or something.

I'm probably not telling anyone anything new, but I use Turtlewax vinyl protectant, a product like Armorall, but cheaper, when mounting tires. I spray the rim, wipe down the tube, and wipe the seating surfaces of the tire. It all slithers together, and when airing up, just oozes into shape.
It doesn't seem to hurt the brake shoes, after the first scrubbing-off stops.
I learned this on motorcycle tires, which are much harder to deal with.

Sixty Fiver, that's a really beautiful bike. I've never seen a Twenty in person. They look very ruggedly built.
I have a general question that I'd like some input on from the forum. I've got to replace the tires on my Tourist's bikes, as they are original. Should the tube be replaced as well? The tubes are the ones with the threaded stem all the way to the rim. As far as I know, these are not made any more. So any replacement would not have threading all the way down. Correct?

Hello all,
While in a dusty garage looking at an old Schwinn last night, I saw this hanging in a dark corner...and wanted it. Without the dust it's in nice shape. The AW hub shows "78," so I presume the rest of the bike would be dated the same (I can picture those graphics coming out of the 1970's anyway).
Clearly there are quite a few things that need to be upgraded (vinyl seat, disgusting - and stretched - chain, rotting tires) and I know that it's probably a lower-end Sports model, but the appeal is, well, probably much of the same appeal that keeps many of you posting your new 3-speed finds here.
My question is: have any of you found a Sports with the bars pictured? I've looked through every photo I can find, and non of the stock Sports bars look nearly as high as mine, though it could be a trick of the cameras. They're about 9" from the stem to the curve near the grips. I'm just curious how close to a stock bike I have, or what may have been changed over the years.
Also, if it looks like a bike that I should get rid of and try again, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks for looking.

It seems like a lot of people have never seen a Twenty here as many people have been asking about my little bike and a few have been amazed to discover it is also 37 years old... it really could not have come to me in better shape and I then upgraded the wheels and brakes.
Thanks Sixty Fiver for the reply. Are you in agreement that the tubes should be replaced when the tires are? Also, I've not seen these premium tubes offered anywhere. Do you know who sells them?

ORIENTAL � Law enforcement officers are investigating the Monday afternoon robbery of the First Citizens Bank branch in Oriental and are working to determine whether it is related to a similar event earlier in the day in Beaufort County.
According to Pamlico County Sheriff Billy Sawyer, the Oriental robbery occurred at 4:20 p.m. when two black males dressed in black and armed with semi-automatic pistols walked into the bank and demanded money.
Both robbers left the scene on foot. It is not known how much money was taken.
A man who answered the phone at the bank late Monday declined to comment.
Witnesses reported seeing a four-door late model silver car following behind the two robbers as they escaped on foot. It was missing hubcaps and had out-of-state plates. The vehicle was last seen headed toward Arapahoe.
Earlier on Monday, a suspicious man was reported at a bank in Aurora in neighboring Beaufort County.
According to Aurora Police Chief Michael Harmon, at 1:46 p.m. police and Beaufort County deputies responded to the call at the Southern Bank and Trust branch at 298 N. 5th St.
A black male, approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds, triggered a metal detector at the bank and left. The man was wearing black pants with a black hooded sweatshirt, which was pulled over his head, making his facial features difficult to see on the surveillance video, Harmon said.
A witness saw the man leave in a late-model, four-door silver car driven by a black male. No money was taken and no one was hurt.
�There was potential there, but the security measures in place thwarted that,� Harmon said. �The Aurora Police and Beaufort Country deputies and investigators had a very fast response time.�
Investigators in Pamlico and Beaufort counties, together with Aurora police, are working together to locate the three suspects and the silver car. The Pamlico County Sheriff�s Office is currently offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects.

The games were much more competitive tonight. So they were fun to watch.
Diante--nobody in this league can guard him off the dribble. He gets to the rim at will, but he is still not a consistent finisher. His outside shot is still very weak. I am happy that he is much more assertive this summer.
Boozer--great job tonight. My main complaint about him last year was that he just camped out and waited for someone to pass him the ball so he could shoot a 3. Tonight he attacked the rim and had some nice rebound put backs. I hope he keeps trying to develop his game in this manner.
Christopherson--I was not too impressed. He seemed to be involved in a lot of turnovers. However he did hit a nice 3 pointer to seal the victory.
Craig--he was pretty aggressive on the offensive end. He got on a hot streak hitting 3 pointers but then he went cold and kept on lauching them up
Buckley--knocked down a nice long one and had a good dribble drive. When he is not running the point he is pretty much non-existant out there. Hopefully that is just a product of the cap city league
Hamilton--no show
AT--same old same old. I think he has lost too much weight over the off season. He is getting scrawny!
Pomlee--one of my favorites to watch. He is almost always out of position on both ends of the floor, but he can rip down rebounds and block shots with the best of them. He had the biggest thunder put-back-dunk I have seen all summer. He is no Rashon, but he kind of adds that super-athletic element to the team. I really hope the staff can teach him how to actually use his body and play basketball.
JVB--didn't seem all that interested to be there tonight. He kind of hung on the perimeter on offense. But he did at least try and guard some people on defense.
Caveat: I only saw about half of each game tonight.

Is Diante getting any size to him? When I saw him last year I was concerned that he wasn't ever going to add much weight due to his slight stature and narrow build.
I think I read something last year where he said all he does is eat but it doesn't go to his body or legs it goes to his feet lol...damn large duck feet haha

AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 274 (May 1, 2000)
We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU
Circular 7409) that Kesao Takamizawa, Saku-machi, Nagano, Japan, discovered
an apparent nova photographically at magnitude 10.0 on 5-minute exposures taken
on Apr. 28.669 and 28.673 UT, using unfiltered T-Max 400 film and twin 0.10-m
f/4 patrol cameras. Nothing appears at the location of the object down to
magnitude 13.5-15.0 on films taken by Takamizawa between 1994 May 12 and 2000
Apr 11.
Tai-ichi Kato, Kyoto University, Japan, reported that Minoru Yamamoto, Aichi,
Japan, independently discovered the object on Apr. 28.694 UT at photographic
magnitude 9.8, using T-Max 400 film (IAU Circular 7409).
H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, Japan, (IAU Circular 7411) measured a CCD(V)
image obtained by K. Ayani and K. Shirakami using the Bisei Astronomical
Observatory 1.01-m telescope, and reported the position of the object as:
R.A. = 18h 52m 03.55s Decl. = -01 degree 28' 38.9" (equinox 2000.0)
This new object is extremely close to the position of CI Aql, which was
discovered as an possible nova in 1917, reaching a maximum of photographic
magnitude 11. No additional rebrightenings of CI Aql have been observed, and
it is not clear whether the star currently in outburst is CI Aql or a
different star. The nature of CI Aql is uncertain; see IBVS 4232 and 4338
for more information (IAU Circular 7409).
Spectroscopic observations were obtained by M. Uemura and T. Kato, Kyoto
University, Japan, who obtained low-dispersion spectra on Apr. 29.6 UT, using
the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory 1.88-m telescope, that they reported
indicate the object to be a fast nova a few weeks after maximum (IAU Circular
7409). W. Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile, reported that CCD spectroscopy done
by him shows H-alpha 4.3 times the intensity of the neighboring continuum, as
well as the presence of [O I], He II, and H-beta, and the absence of Fe II
(IAU Circular 7411).
Magnitude estimates reported to the AAVSO include: Apr. 28.260 UT, 9.8
photovisual, W. Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile (using hypersensitized Tech Pan
film and orange filter; IAU Circular 7411); 29.654, 9.8, S. Takahashi,
Shiga, Japan (via Kato; IAU Circular 7409); 29.708, 10.0, H. Hirosawa, Aichi,
Japan (via Kato; IAU Circular 7409); 29.731, 9.3, H. Maehara, Saitama, Japan
(via Kato; IAU Circular 7409); 29.986, 9.4, M. Reszelski, Szamotuly, Poland;
30.003, 9.3, Reszelski; 30.0451, 9.4, P. Dubovsky, Podbiel, Slovakia; 30.063,
9.4, Reszelski; 30.117, 9.6:, G. Poyner, Birmingham, England; 30.360, 8.87
CCD(broadband V), Liller (IAU Circular 7411); 30.398, 8.95 CCD(broadband V),
Liller (IAU Circular 7411); 30.980, 9.1, K. Hornoch, Lelekovice, Czech
Republic (IAU Circular 7411); 30.988, 9.7, Reszelski; May 01.044, 8.83 CCD(V),

Accompanying is an AAVSO "d" scale Preliminary chart, prepared by C. Scovil,
of CI Aql and showing two other variables, V1363 Aql and V1364 Aql. Note that
the object currently in outburst is extremely close to the position of CI Aql
and may in fact be CI Aql. Please report your observations of 1846-01D
N Aql 00 to AAVSO Headquarters. Please be sure to indicate which comparison
stars you used to make your observations.
Congratulations to Kesao Takamizawa and Minoru Yamamoto on their discoveries
