Hilda is the eldest of the children of Lewis William Arrowood and Maude Rose Hull Arrowood. She is almost eighty years old and writing beautiful poems, still. God Bless you Aunt Hilda.
We had a special Aunt down here, but she's an angel now,
Everyone is happy she's home and we will get along, somehow.
What a time she's having with her sisters and her Lord.
She enjoyed living and never seemed bored.
I'll never forget her saying, "Stop and smell the coffee", to me,
she knew we needed to slow down to look for all the beauty to see.
Her two sons are special and she loved them so,
And her grandchildren would have been the reason,
for her not wanting to go.
She planned a birthday party for me, such plans she did make,
While running up the stairs, she fell and her elbow went through the cake.
She had many nieces, but I was first to come along,
she loved me dearly and according to her, I could do no wrong.
Most of her life, she lived with Grandpa and Grandma Hull,
when we all went to visit, it was anything but dull.
We were so blessed to be part of a family like that,
she was so pretty dressed up and sometimes, she wore a hat.
The movie stars of her day, they could not compare,
everyone who saw her, could not help but stare.
She was the baby of the family, but to me she was a queen.
Her sweet smile, black hair, and the prettiest face I have ever seen.
She would say to us, get ready, to come live on that beautiful shore.
When our time comes to cross over, she will be waiting inside the door.

The White House this week will devote its attention to managing the fallout from President Obama's National Security Agency reforms and putting the finishing touches on his swiftly approaching State of the Union address.
In laying out his blueprint for controversial NSA surveillance techniques, Obama renewed the debate in Washington about the tradeoffs between national security and privacy.
Obama struck a middle ground on how the NSA should move forward, saying the agency would have to receive secret-court approval before tapping into stored phone information and calling for further study on how the government could get out of the business of holding the metadata.
Obama has called on Attorney General Eric Holder to report back to him by March 28 on how to keep the metadata. But in the meantime, the White House will face questions on whether Obama has any concrete ideas or simply punted the issue to Congress.
With his long-awaited NSA remarks behind him, the president now turns to his biggest speech of the year: the State of the Union address.
Obama will address both chambers of Congress on Jan. 28 and has been working with aides behind the scenes on crafting a message that will define his agenda for the rest of the year.
After the roughest stretch of his presidency, Obama is desperate for some momentum. And with his State of the Union address, Obama will likely speak to his largest national audience in 2014.
The president will use the opportunity to argue that his administration has moved past the botched rollout of Obamacare and trumpet his economic plans to combat income inequality.
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on Monday also will participate in a community service project to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday will meet with members of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration. The president created the group after his last State of the Union address to "identify non-partisan ways to shorten lines at polling places, promote the efficient conduct of elections and provide better access to the polls for all voters."
On Wednesday, the president and Biden will host an event at the White House for the Council on Women and Girls, chaired by Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. And Obama on Thursday will welcome mayors to the White House for a reception.

About Ricky Fante
Neo-soulster Ricky Fante has the sort of warm, powdered sugary voice that makes your knees melt when you hear it. The Washington, D.C., native was influenced by his parents' substantial music collection growing up and could frequently be found singing Stevie Wonder and Elvis Presley classics on the street corners of his neighborhood. Fante joined his church's gospel choir while in his teens and honed his substantial singing skills until he graduated from high school. Upon graduation, Fante enlisted in the Marines and served his country for four years. Once his tour of duty was over, Fante headed to college in Los Angeles. In between classes, he entered singing contests and worked on getting a deal any way he could. His persistence eventually paid off, and he was signed to a small, independent label. In 2001, Fante was offered a developmental deal with Virgin Records, and partnered with Norah Jones' collaborator, Jesse Harris. Eventually, these songs would become the backbone of Fante's stirring 2004 debut, Rewind.

Way back when, over a whole decade ago, if someone wanted to share an article or photo with you, the poor sap had to go through the laborious task of either faxing (look it up, kids) or actually mailing you the documents. And not just average folks had to do this: no, even famous entertainers had to be sure to drop a press kit - a tidy package of sassy black and white photos and detailed performance information - to all local media outlets as a main means of promoting that your city would be a stop on their tour.
Throughout our massive CMI Office Overhaul, most of the old junk that has been collecting for decades has been removed to make way for the stellar new Knoll furniture from Spaces of Memphis. However, thanks to our insatiable office pack rats, not all artifacts of such aforementioned press kits have been lost. See here a few of my favorite photos from past concert and comedy tours that have been uncovered during the rehab. Surely, I can't be the only one who remembers the illustrious musical career of John Tesh?!

Defense: Bush's $401.7 Billion Budget Omits War Expenses
President Bush's $401.7 billion defense budget for fiscal 2005 is long on proposals to boost warfighting techniques, but nearly mute about the cost of the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Pentagon's decision not to request any fiscal 2005 funding for those war operations makes it hard to get a handle on total Defense Department spending. Pentagon officials now say fiscal 2004 spending will total about $375.3 billion, a $6.1 billion reduction from earlier estimates because of the Pentagon's decision to forgo some funding from previous years.
But the revised fiscal 2004 total does not include $65.1 billion appropriated for wartime costs in the fiscal 2004 supplemental appropriations bill (PL 108-106). Once that money is factored in, the fiscal 2004 total reaches $440.4 billion.
Steven Kosiak of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments said that for comparison's sake, analysts need to assume the Pentagon will request between $30 billion and $50 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan operations, which could push the fiscal 2005 total to as high as $451.7 billion.
A senior Pentagon official said while such a request is likely, it probably will not come before early calendar 2005 because the Defense Department is unwilling to anticipate occupation costs far into the future when so much is now uncertain in those two countries. A delay would also push any further war funding requests beyond the November elections.
That uncertainty also calls into question whether the Pentagon will stay true to its long-term goals, which call for a budget request of $487.7 billion in fiscal 2009. As part of its proposal, the Pentagon seeks to expand a plan to outline its budget two years at a time in an effort to inject clarity into the budget process.
The Pentagon again is asking Congress for greater flexibility in spending. One likely legislative proposal would nearly double the amount of money the Pentagon can shift around without congressional oversight. For the last 10 years that figure has hovered at around $2 billion, but the new request would give the Defense Department flexibility over $4 billion.
Other proposals would provide Iraqi occupation forces with $300 million to disburse to local communities to kick start public works projects, a vital tool for building better relations. The Pentagon is expected to spend $340 million for such purposes this year, $160 million of which was seized from ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi officials.
"This is the single most successful program we have in Iraq right now," a Pentagon official said. "This is the best way we tell the Iraqi people that we're not here to occupy them."
The proposals are scaled back from two years ago, when the Pentagon asked that Congress authorize and appropriate a $10 billion emergency fund with no strings attached — a request Congress rejected. Pentagon officials say that figure was based on their best guesses and ultimately proved to be about the right amount of money needed for operations in Afghanistan in fiscal 2003.
"When we laid down a marker, Congress did not give it to us," the Pentagon official said.
Much of the new budget focuses on sustaining troop levels for ongoing operations. The proposal projects 1.38 million active-duty troops but makes no mention of maintaining the emergency deployments necessitated by the war operations. Pentagon officials have already stated that 30,000 additional troops are being deployed for the time being. Some of those are being held beyond their normal enlistment terms.
Pentagon officials have said they are worried about deteriorating morale if troops remain overextended. Part of the fiscal 2005 proposal calls for programs designed to reduce strains on the services by limiting how often reservists can be called to active duty. For example, the Pentagon will seek authority to make more use of reservists with needed skills, hopefully sparing those with less essential skills from regular call-ups.
Another plan would seek to hire more civilian workers for jobs currently performed by uniformed troops, theoretically freeing up as many as 10,000 soldiers for combat assignments.
The budget anticipates $104.8 billion for personnel costs.
No major weapons programs are scheduled for cancellation or cuts. The procurement budget would shrink from $81.1 billion to $74.9 billion, but much of that loss would be made up by a $4.6 billion jump to $68.9 billion in the research budget, which will absorb development of some shipbuilding programs.
Funding for missile defense programs would increase $1.2 billion to $10.2 billion, in anticipation of erecting 10 ground-based and five sea-based interceptors by the beginning of 2005.
The proposal would also add $632.9 million to unmanned aerial vehicle research and production, for a total of nearly $2 billion.
And the Future Combat System, a family of 20-ton fighting vehicles intended to replace the canceled Crusader howitzer system, would receive nearly $3.2 billion, a significant jump from the $370 million it received in fiscal 2003 and the $1.7 billion slated in fiscal 2004.
Anticipated expenditures for the Joint Strike Fighter are expected to rise $320.2 million, partially because a problem has necessitated building a heavier plane, which costs more money to construct.
The oft-disparaged Osprey aircraft, which faced strong criticism three years ago because of crashes that killed two dozen Marines, would be funded at $1.8 billion, with 11 of the planes scheduled to roll off the assembly line.
The shipbuilding budget would shrink $1 billion to $11.1 billion for nine new ships. But that is expected to grow to $21 billion and 17 ships by fiscal 2009, when production of a littoral combat ship (LCS) goes into high gear. The ship is designed to patrol coastal waters.
As an added bonus, the ship is only expected to cost about half a billion dollars per vessel, significantly cheaper than a destroyer or an aircraft carrier. That should allow the Navy to reach production goals. Lawmakers from shipbuilding states have expressed concerns that ships are not being built at a rapid enough rate, endangering the Navy's goal of maintaining a 300-ship fleet.
Other requests include $140.6 billion for operations and maintenance, $5.3 billion for military construction and $4.2 billion for family housing construction.
The budget also requests $500 million to allow the Pentagon to provide military and security force training in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another proposal would allow the Pentagon to transfer up to $200 million worth of weapons programs to Afghanistan.
At least two controversial programs are not expected to affect the fiscal 2005 budget. Although a round of base closings is slated for 2005, no costs are expected to be incurred until fiscal 2006. Lawmakers who fear losing bases in their districts will probably wage a last ditch effort this year to derail the planned closures.
Additionally, a proposal inserted into the fiscal 2004 defense authorization bill (PL 108-136) that would allow disabled military retirees to draw both their retirement benefits and Department of Veterans Affairs disability payments would draw money from mandatory accounts, not the Pentagon budget, which consists almost entirely of discretionary spending.
The Pentagon budget does not include an additional $20 billion in nuclear weapons programs managed by the Energy Department in a different account.

Haven't done this in a while. But I figured with everything going on I would share a few of my favorites I like to indulge in.
My Birkenstocks recently fell apart. Well, I've had them for years, so not very recent, but Josh surprised me with a brand-spankin' new pair this past week. I have fallen in love with the sandals all over again! Is that weird? Probably.
I chose the newest style in a nice shiny blue. Check these babies out!
|Mayari Onyx Birko
I am simply smitten with this sweet dress from Ruche. Oh I love me some Ruche.
|Something Simple
Speaking of pretty jewelry I am in LOVE with Olive Bungalow currently and am CRAVING their jewelry. They have the most pretty rings ever. Also, their stackable birthstones rings are something I really want to start collecting. One for Josh's birthstone and mine. Eventually we will add our kids gemstones when we start having those babies (not for a while though).
|Stackable Birthstone Rings
I just love the different designs and how Josh could have fun with it. It could be so unique!
That's about it for now. I just want to remind everyone to keep in mind the families affected in the South by the tornadoes. Please remember to keep them in your thoughts and prayers this week and throughout the next month. What is going on is devastating.

Five Patriots Named to All-CAA Lacrosse Teams
Posted: April 25, 2001 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
The Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) named Jill Toomey and Paula Priest to its women's lacrosse all-conference first team, while Katie Keegan, Lisa Hagan, and Jamie Tiburzi earned second-team honors at the CAA banquet last Friday night. All five Patriots earned the accolade for the first time.
Toomey was fourth in the league and tied for 19th in the nation in scoring with 51 points heading into last weekend's CAA Tournament. Priest leads the team in caused turnovers with 38, five shy of the school single-season record held by former assistant coach Liz Robertshaw.
Keegan ranks second on the team in scoring and is tied for fourth in the conference with 44 points on 26 goals and 18 assists. Tiburzi ranks 16th in the nation in save percentage with a .560 mark, and has a 9.91 goals against average and a 7-7 record. Hagan was one of just two rookies to be named All-CAA this year. The freshman ranks third on the team with 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points.

Adam Serwer writes at Mother Jones about KSM's recent facial hair makeover. He grew a beard, but how did he get his hands on henna with which to dye it a ginger-red? Visiting friends? Home-brewed stain from materials inside the camp? No one knows, or if the camp guards do, it's a national security secret. Snip:
As for why KSM dyed his beard? Former State Department counterterrorism adviser Will McCants says that KSM is probably trying to emphasize his commitment to Islam. KSM grew his long, flowing beard only after he was imprisoned at Guantanamo—previous photographs show him with a trim beard or a thick mustache.
"KSM is following the practice of the Prophet Muhammad, who recommended dyeing a grey beard red," McCants says, calling it "a sign of devotion, particularly after looking like Ron Jeremy all those years." But how did KSM go from the porn-star look to more of a Gimli? Apparently, it would damage national security if we knew.

Johannesburg - Mamelodi Sundowns opened a gap at the top of the Premiership
standings with a 2-0 win over Free State Stars heading into a lengthy
mid-season break.
The visitors snatched the lead in the eighth minute through
Surprise Moriri, who fired in a close-range strike after Tsholofelo
Modise's free kick broke to him inside the 18-yard area.
Modise threatened again soon after but Stars goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene tipped his thunderous shot around the post.
The home side were made to sit back early but came close twice
within a couple of minutes when first Ouro Sadate shot wide before Dove
Wome blasted over the bar.
Both sides continued to create chances, and with 10 minutes left in the first half, Clayton Daniels and Wome fired wide.
Moriri missed his best chance for a brace minutes later when he
connected with a Modise free kick, but Mweene held on to his close-range
Sundowns showed their intent immediately after the break, surging
forward in an effort to stretch the gap, but Stars did well to threaten
on the counter attack in an electric second half.
Five players -- Nyasha Mushekwi, Modise and Punch Manasamela for
Downs, and Edward Mnqele and Wome for Stars -- wasted chances within 10
minutes after the restart, all firing wide or over the bar.
Mnqele was on target in the 54th minute when Wayne Sandilands was
forced to parry away his effort, but Downs extended their advantage on
the hour mark when Lebohang Mokoena connected with a cross from Modise
and hit the back of the net.
Stars continued to fight and Mnqele had another opportunity with 13 minutes left but he blasted over the bar.
The hosts played with 10 men in the dying stages of the match,
after Sadate was sent off with eight minutes left, and Zakari Morou
fluffed their last chance when he fired a header over in injury time.
Sundowns take a three-point lead at the top of the standings ahead of a two-month break, with Stars dropping one place to sixth.
cogratulations Downs, dont overindulge over the festive break. come back next year to continue with your winning form. happy holidays to the Downs family

South Korea Warns Computer Users Against Infection Distributed by Internet
South Korea warned computer users to take precautions against a new computer virus one day after a series of online attempts to cripple government websites.
Computer users should start their machines in safe mode to protect against infection by so-called malware that could destroy data stored on hard disks and prevent installation of virus protection programs, the Korea Communications Commission said yesterday in a statement on its website.
The latest attempts to disrupt South Korea's online systems target individual computer users, unlike the attacks against official websites in the previous two days, Lee Sang Kug, a deputy director at the commission, said by phone. Malware was found and removed from four sites, Lee said, warning that the bad code could be spread by accessing file-sharing networks.
The government on March 4 issued an alert against so-called distributed denial of service assaults that targeted about 40 websites including the presidential office and National Intelligence Service.
The attacks were similar to attempts made in July 2009 to cripple dozens of websites in South Korea and the U.S.
North Korea's postal ministry was responsible for the 2009 attacks, the JoongAng Ilbo reported in October 2009, citing Won Sei Hoon, head of the National Intelligence Service.
"We haven't found any evidence to show where these new attacks came from or their purpose," said Hwang Mi Kyung, a spokeswoman at Seoul-based Ahnlab Inc. (053800), the nation's largest maker of antivirus software. "There was no evidence to prove the 2009 attacks came from North Korea."
No Serious Damage
The Communications Commission hasn't received reports of serious damage caused by the latest malware distribution, Lee said, adding that no further attacks on government websites have been detected.
Police investigating the spread of the malware haven't found its origin, and related agencies will continue to monitor closely how the malicious code spread, Yoo Jin Ho, a spokesman at Korea Internet Security Agency, said by phone today.
Computer users in South Korea can download a free program distributed by Ahnlab to diagnose and remove the latest malware.
The Defense Ministry and intelligence agency declined to comment on the attacks, or on a Yonhap News report that North Korea on March 4 disrupted distribution of Global Positioning System signals in a few regions of South Korea. Officials at the ministry and agency declined to be named citing department policy.
GPS Disruption
North Korea might have tested GPS jamming technology as a response to U.S.-South Korean military drills that began last week, Yonhap said, citing military and government officials it didn't name. The communications commission said GPS signals were affected in some parts of Seoul and Incheon that day, in a statement on its website. The disruptions affected time signals and connections for some mobile phones.
"It's possible for North Korea to disrupt GPS signals to show its capability," said Kim Yong Hyun, professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University. "Any repeat of such electronic warfare could worsen relations."
Relations remain chilled across the border following exchanges of artillery fire in November after North Korea shelled a South Korean island, killing four people. The Pyongyang regime threatened last week to take military action if the South continues propaganda encouraging revolt, and "all-out war" in response to any attack during the annual U.S.-South Korean military drills that began on Feb. 28.
North Korea on March 4 refused to allow the return of 27 of its citizens who drifted across the maritime border by boat last month, demanding that four who requested to stay in South Korea also be repatriated.

From the 2007-08 Season
Final performance was January 13th, 2008
By Abbie Spallen
Directed by Carolyn Cantor
with Hannah Cabell, Geraldine Hughes, Paul Sparks
In this gripping play from one of Ireland's brightest new talents, playwright Abbie Spallen shapes a startling tale of three lives colliding in rural Ireland. The play unfolds with the story of a homely, tomboyish pump girl at a rundown gas station. When a local racetrack star becomes the focus of her obsession, the affair threatens more than the feelings of his disenchanted wife. A blazing success last season in Edinburgh and at London's renowned Bush Theatre, the play is in the best tradition of richly detailed and unforgettable Irish storytelling.

Track & Field World Championships: Winners, Losers from Day 7September 2, 2011
Following a few days where the other 2,000 or so athletes had their chance to borrow center stage, Day 7 of the Track & Field World Championships was back to Usain Bolt.
Running the opening heats and semifinals of the 200-meter dash, Bolt moved closer to erasing the sting of his most high-profile professional misstep—his disqualification via false start in the 100-meter medal race—and closer to stomping out any burgeoning theory that he's no longer the fastest man in the world.
Had he been humbled, maybe even frightened, by what happened last Sunday? Initially, Bolt seemed a little more reserved than usual, but after a while he had that unmistakable swagger back.
As far as events in which medals were decided, Team USA's Dwight Phillips (long jump), Allyson Felix (200 meters) and Christian Cantwell (shot put) went out to defend their world championship crowns, along with the men's 4x400-meter relay squad featuring LaShawn Merritt.
Here are the notables from Day 7:
Caster Semenya (South Africa)—She's back. Instead of enjoying the fruits of international stardom and focusing on becoming one of the greatest women's 800-meter runners of all time, Semenya spent the gap between the '09 WC and this year's event dealing with controversy and humiliation while simply trying to regain her once-dominant form.
The gender-testing saga was officially behind Semenya when the IAAF cleared her to compete against women last summer, but going into these world championships, Semenya still wasn't running like the woman who smoked the 800-meter field as an 18-year-old.
There was a school of thought that Semenya was intentionally holding back in order to avoid any more controversy, and that she'd unleash the beast when it mattered most. They might have been right. In her semifinal heat on Day 7, Semenya powered past the field and won easily in 1:58.07, a season best for her and the fastest time in the prelims.
After she crossed the finish line, Semenya broke out her trademark "brush the shoulder off" move—though she only did it halfway. Maybe she's saving the other half for the final.
Usain Bolt (Jamaica)—You can't really blame Bolt for playing it conservatively from start to finish. At least he has the talent to do so.
In his first qualifying heat, Bolt's reaction time to the starter's gun was clocked at 0.31 seconds, the slowest of all but one of the 53 men who ran the 200-meter prelims. And yet he still took control of the race early and cruised to a win in 20.30 seconds. In his semifinal race, Bolt was back in full entertainer mode again, playing to the crowd before jogging across the finish line well in front again at 20.31 seconds.
Vivian Cheruiyot (Kenya)—When she kicked her legs into an extra gear and left the rest of the women's 5,000-meter field in her wake, Cheruiyot won her second gold medal of these world championships. With that, she joined Tirunesh Dibaba (Ethiopia) as the only women to pull the 5,000/10,000 double at a major international meet.
Dibaba did it at the '08 Olympics and the '05 Worlds. Cheruiyot can absolutely do it again at the 2012 Olympics. Waiting for her there should be Dibaba, who is just 25 years old and took most of this year off due to injury. Throw in the over-arching Kenya/Ethiopia rivalry to this new one-on-one battle, and it should make for compelling competition.
Will Claye (USA)—During the morning session, Claye posted the third best qualifying distance in the triple jump at 17.19 meters. That put him ahead of defending world champion Phillips Idowu (Great Britain) and University of Florida teammate Christian Taylor, who'd beaten Claye at the USA Championships. About nine hours later, Claye was back at the stadium for the finals of the long jump. He finished ninth, a respectable result for the 20-year-old whose best event isn't even the long jump.
David Storl (Germany)—It's not like Storl made the world championship roster on accident, but still, protocol says the 21-year-old should still be at least a couple years away from truly contending with the big boys of the shot put.
So either nobody told Storl that, or he just didn't listen. On his way to making three career-best throws in one competition, Storl kind of owned a field full of veterans with plenty Olympic and WC experience. He had the longest throw in the qualifying round, then in the finals he hit 21.78 meters on his final turn to knock off world No. 1 Dylan Armstrong (Canada) for the gold medal.
Maria Abakumova (Russia)—Not only did she win the gold medal in the women's javelin, not only did she rip off the second-best throw of all time at 71.99 meters (also a world championship record), but she did it while looking less like a world-class athlete and more like a soccer mom. Abakumova beat the best in the world while wearing a back-support belt and capri pants.
LaShawn Merritt (USA)—The traditionally front-running USA men's 4x400 relay team was firmly in third place at the time Merritt took the baton for the anchor leg in the medal race. He eventually caught up with Jamaica's Leford Green and South Africa's L.J. Van Zyl, but when Merritt couldn't find an opening to pass inside, it looked like the guy who'd been out-kicked by an 18-year-old during the individual 400 final a few days before wouldn't be able to pull it off.
But then Merritt went outside and swallowed up the leaders over the last 30 meters or so, and even had time to step off the gas and celebrate before crossing the line and giving the USA another gold-medal win in the relay.
Jamaica—The idea that the superstar's performance affects the rest of the team was supposedly exclusive to sports like basketball and football, but apparently it can happen in track as well. Ever since Bolt's downer of a Day 2, the rest of the Jamaican team had also failed to live up to their recent standard of dominance as the planet's top sprint factory.
Yohan Blake took the men's 100-meter gold, but other than that, a number of Jamaican heavyweights had come up short. Nesta Carter finished last in the 100-meter race that Blake won; defending world champ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce finished fourth in the women's 100, while defending WC silver medalist Kerron Stewart came in sixth (Veronica Campbell-Brown did win silver); Dwight Thomas pulled up early in the men's 110 hurdles and couldn't complete the race; defending WC silver medalist Shericka Williams finished sixth in the women's 400, while Novlene Williams-Mills was eighth; medal favorite Jermaine Gonzales was fourth in the men's 400; and defending world champion Melaine Walker came in second in the women's 400 hurdles, while pre-meet favorite Kaleise Spencer managed fourth.
But on Day 7, the Jamaicans looked like the Jamaicans again. Bolt set the tone by dusting everybody in his path in his 200-meter prelims. Nickel Ashmeade made it to the men's 200 final as well. Vonette Dixon, Indira Spence and Brigitte Foster-Hylton advance to the women's 100-meter hurdles semis. The men's 4x400 relay team won bronze. And then Campbell-Brown capped it by winning the gold medal in the 200 meters.
Dwight Phillips (USA)—Apparently he was just messing with everybody. So much was made about Phillips struggling with his form during the season and probably being too old at 33 to defend his long jump world title that many had already decided this was the year for Australian star Mitchell Watt to become world champion. Word was Phillips might not even make it to the finals in Daegu.
So about that...Phillips showed up to the world championships looking like he was 23 and hadn't missed a beat. He had the longest qualifying jump on the first day of the competition, and in the finals he put everybody in his rearview mirror with an 8.45-meter jump in the second round that held up for the gold medal.
Did he know he had a fourth world championship in him? Phillips did compete while wearing the number 1111 on his bib, which he ripped off and held up for the crowd after he'd secured the gold medal. That's four No. 1's, in case you missed it.
Allyson Felix (USA)—It sounds wrong to call somebody who collected silver and bronze medals at the same world championships at "loser," but Felix didn't come to Daegu to get second and third.
As far as an athlete of her level is concerned, the highly anticipated 200/400 double-gold attempt was pretty much a worst-case scenario for Felix. After finishing second by mere inches in the 400-meter final, Felix seemed to lack her usual burst in the 200-meter final and came in a non-threatening third place, costing her a shot at an unprecedented fourth straight 200-meter world title.
Felix can still claim a gold medal if she gets a spot on the USA 4x400 relay team, but at this point, I would imagine she's tired and would rather get home and set her eyes on the Olympics in 2012.
Jenny Meadows (Great Britain)—Any time a reigning Olympic of WC medalist fails to even make it to the finals of their event, it has to go down as an upset. Meadows won bronze in the women's 800 meters at the '09 WC, but this year she was eliminated in the semifinals.
Tomasz Majewski (Poland)—The reigning Olympic gold medalist and '09 WC silver medalist in the men's shot put was eliminated after the first half of the finals when he failed to crack the top eight. Even more painful is that Majewski was only about four inches shy of getting that chance to make three more throws. He finished ninth overall.
Christina Obergfoll (Germany)—She had come so close in the past to winning gold at the major meets, and this looked like Obergfoll's year to finally break through. But then she got caught up in the greatest women's javelin competition of all time. While her competition was setting national records and landing on the verge of world records left and right, Obergfoll was solid but could only manage fourth place.
South Africa—The fact they won silver in the men's 4x400 relay will likely be overshadowed by the decision to pull Oscar Pistorius off the quartet that got to run in the final.
Pistorius ran the first leg on the South African team that set a national record in the semifinals the previous day. But they had drawn Pistorius' preferred Lane 1 that time; in the final they had Lane 8. So from a strategic standpoint, it probably made sense to switch "Blade Runner" out for 400-meter hurdles star L.J. Van Zyl. And Pistorius will still get to take the medal stand and don the silver as a member of the relay team. But from a public-opinion standpoint, the South African decision-makers may be hearing from some upset fans who only know that Pistorius was denied a chance to run for a medal.

Counterfeit Magic
by Kelly Armstrong
Cover Artist: Maurizio Manzieri
Review by Gayle Surrette
Subterranean Press Limited Edition / Trade H ISBN/ITEM#: 9781596063280
Date: 31 December 2010
Links: For Interior Illustrations / Show Official Info /
Subterraean Press has published another novella by Kelley Armstrong set in her Otherworld series, the previous novella was Angelic and featured Eve Levine. The current novella, Counterfeit Magic deals with Paige Winterbourne and Savannah Levine as they look into a supernatural fight club. Their client however seems to be more interested in Paige's husband, Lucas Cortez than she is in the death of her brother.
Paige and Savannah find themselves smack in the middle of something more than just a random killing of a heavy bettor in deep to a loan shark. There's real trouble brewing in the fight club scene. Then there's also something going wrong in Paige's personal life as Lucas is trying to adjust to being back into the Cortez business after the death of two of his brothers.
Jealousy. Insecurity. Betrayal. Which is the driving force? And who is behind it all? Will Paige and Savannah come up with a solution? Will it be one they can live with? Where will their priorities best be served?
Counterfeit Magic has almost as much plot and twists as you'd expect from a novel. For those who are following the characters from the novels, this novella supplies some insight into how the lives of Lucas, Paige, and Savannah are changing since Lucas had to step back into the family business. Do you need to read this to understand the next novel? Probably not. But, if you're a fan of Armstrong's series, you'll definitely want to pick up a copy of Counterfeit Magic and, while I read the advanced reader copy, it did have the interior artwork included – this would be a beautiful volume to add to your collection of her novels.

Business is Like Baseball
by Angela Brooks
After watching baseball up close for the last 10 years. Business and baseball have a lot in common. I have watched my son play ball since he was 4 years old. He has always had a ball of some kind in his hands. But the one that he showed the most talent with early on was a small round hard ball with three seams that wrap around the white leather.
If he went to a friend's house they ended up throwing the baseball back and forth. If we went on vacation we ended up a baseball field. He watched and studied the players form, how they threw the ball, how they tracked the ball in the air, and the plays they made. He has taught me things about baseball that I did not know was even in the game.
The year that we decided he needed extra instruction for his batting technique we found out that private coaching was pricy. We researched the track record of the facility, and of the coaches that he would be working with and did not find a flaw in the program. I am not saying it was perfect but the outcome from past players went on to be successful players in college and beyond.
We enrolled him. I wrote the check for 10 instruction lessons and handed it to the manager. He said, "'Mom what do you want to see your son get out this instruction." I had to stop and think but said for him to be a well rounded ball player who has fun at what he does and success at the plate.
The manger turned and looked at my son "what do you want to get out of this instruction?" he stood shyly by and shrugged his shoulders and then stated "I want to put the ball in play every time I go to the plate."
The instructor said, "What your both asking is not hard to do – you have to listen to what I am teaching you, practice it and make it your habit."
They stepped out in the instruction cage and began with the simple steps of how to hold the bat, how to hold his feet, how to watch the ball, how to follow through with each pitch. At the end of the first instruction he had things to put in place and work on.
At the end of 10 sessions of instruction he had a new form of batting that showed results because he found someone who knew how to make what he already did naturally even better.
The first year of playing baseball after the instruction he hit 15 over the fence home runs with one of those being a grand slam. He moved up in the batting order to #5, and his batting average grew to 400 as a 11 year old.
Once again at the age of 12 he reaches out for more coaching in pitching. The skills he applied from the simple changes in his form brought him to the state championship pitching mound not once but twice. He found himself standing on the pitching mound in front of 20,000 people at the age of 12 and on ESPN broad cast around the world in the little league world series in 2009.
Today he is playing on a travel team as the youngest player on a 19U team and will begin his journey of being exposed to colleges and bigger leagues opportunity.
Although he was blessed with lots of natural talent, the money we spent on his coaching has paid off more than double.
Two years ago I had a business that was growing slowly but I needed to know how to move it to the next level on the internet with social media. I hired a business coach and began teaching me how to market my business online. How to write copy, how to make sales pages, how to lead my team down a path that they can also see change in their business.
My coaching began to pay off within the first month of adding the instruction. I had to apply everything I was taught to do, and sometimes it even took me several times to get it correct enough to see the big change.
I had some business skills that needed to be fine tuned. I have been in a coaching instruction for two years and grew my business triple; adding a team training center, coaching for my team and more is being worked on in the wings now. I have a blog that is read in 17 countries, written a book about the last 25 years as a nurse that has been published, and a weekly newsletter that reaches hundreds of people each week.
Coaching has worked for my son and me both. It is the simple changes we add to our daily life that can make such a big difference.
Today I am writing you from the beach as I watch my son step into a new journey for his baseball. I am kicked back working my business from an iPad and smart phone, living my life on the go from the Fort Walton Beach. The resason my business became more mobile with social media check in's and mobile devices. I quickly learned there was no way I would be able to work my business from an office daily. My kids keep me to busy for that. This week I packed my suitcase, lap top, ipad and headed to the beach to connect to the hotel internet. While I watched my son swimming with his new friends, I used my ipad to connect on social media and get caught up with business task of writing this blog post, reading and enjoying the view.
If you have always wanted to have a business online, but didn't know where to get started I would love to share with you how I have run my business on the go with my family on the road, working a full time job.
Matching yourself up with a group that has already bull dozed the road and filled the pot holes makes it alot more fun than going out alone.Walk the trail with someone who can help.

Brevity in Small Packages
My daughter had been in school now for several weeks. She only does two days a week, but this is her first experience away from home. Yesterday, at breakfast, she told me that she didn't want to go to school.
"Its not all playing, Dad. We have to do group time, and singing songs." She then told me about how the other kids don't play with her. Now, I know my daughter well, and I suggested that she play with them rather than expecting them to play with her. She thought about it, and after breakfast she told me that she would go to school, but she wouldn't sleep during nap time. She asked me some pointed questions on the walk to school about how she might play with the other kids, and when I dropped her off I got the sense that she really was concerned about what might happen,but she truly did want to make friends. She was a little scared, but she went in anyway, because she, in her own simple way, had weighed her options, and she decided that the risk was worth the reward.
Coincidentally, she had a great day and now has a best friend. But she didn't sleep during nap time.

Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT)
DOI: 10.1111/b.9781405189224.2011.x
Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement, founded in 1910 at Barcelona. It was designed to rival the Unión General de Trabajadores which had close links with the Spanish Socialist Party, though relations improved in 1917 when both trade union movements collaborated in a general strike. Bringing together the disparate strands of Spanish anarchism , the CNT was distinctive from other unions in welcoming untrained workers and peasants and in being highly decentralized. With some 700,000 members, it joined the anarchist International Working Men's Organization in 1922, only to be banned a year later when Miguel primo de rivera came to power. Forced underground, militant elements founded the Federación Anarquista Ibérica in 1927. Though repression continued under the second republic (1931–6), the CNT was eventually legalized by the popular front . The organization continued to have qualms about participating in bourgeois government, but sided with the Republicans upon the outbreak of the spanish civil war . Its cabinet representatives were soon marginalized by communist and other left-wing groupings, who combined to crush the CNT's Barcelona rising of 1937. Two years later the victorious Nationalists banned the Confederation, though some elements continued to operate in secret. After the restoration of democracy in 1975, a much weakened CNT was divided about how to respond to the ... log in or subscribe to read full text

The Rise of Subscription Commerce & How You Can Start Your Subscription Business
Subscription businesses have been a hot trend in the entrepreneurial marketplace for a while thanks to their low launch costs, high scalability, and high customizability: Any demand, lifestyle or cross-product theme you can imagine is ready to be a subscription business that can start as small as you want and grow as fast and as big as you can plan for. By planning carefully and executing an attractive product, anyone can leverage those recurring payments to build relationships with subscribers around the globe that will grow and profit, often from the first shipment.
It's easy to see why ongoing developments in tech — specifically the areas surrounding connectivity, logistics and payments — have brought subscription services back to the marketplace: Automatic payment has infiltrated every industry, thanks to the convenience and dependability on both sides of the equation.
But starting in 2014, we've seen interest skyrocket thanks to apps and tech firms filling the need for specialized software around the business model: The virtuous flywheel that drives the adoption of any new technology or model. Extensive online tools, apps and subscription industry platforms have made it possible for individuals and teams to build, market and monitor storefronts, customer relationships, shipping logistics, and global financial transactions.
That's putting the power of entrepreneurship in the hands of people who can use it best: The smartest, most dangerous and disruptive, forward-thinking members of the e-commerce community, whose fearlessness and experiences on what's still a fairly unexplored frontier will set best practices for decades to come, as the model continues to grow.
As the first and only All-in-One subscription platform, Cratejoy gives you everything you need to start, maintain or grow your subscription business: Everything is in one place, you design your storefront onsite, decide on your product options from our extensive and flexible menu, and make all your sales decisions — all backed with the wealth of our experience and that of our thousands of merchants, who have been right where you are now and know exactly what to do next.
Decide on your subscription's frequency, re-bill dates, variations, add-ons, billing requirements and so on. Every step is supported on our platform, and explained and explored through our extensive Subscription School site, a free library of resource documents and fun videos explaining everything you need to know about any aspect of the business, from beginner technical questions to the more advanced and complex systems you may decide upon as you grow.
By focusing on specific interests and the things that excite you the most, or open holes in the market waiting to be filled, you can build an unparalleled passion and enthusiasm in any demographic you want: Fandom of the Month is for women who are geeks, and love getting jewelry and treats from their favorite geeky brands. The Book (ish) Box supplies fans with literary treats and art, as well as an exclusive, high-quality t-shirt every month. BattlBox is another runaway success story, offering premium survival and tactical gear every month that's created a rabid online community of fans.
In each case, the market seems obvious after the fact, because all it took was one merchant with the smarts to prove the point, and the passion to make it happen.
While the initial outlay and time management are negligible for starting a subscription business, the rapid growth that's possible can come with its own challenges: Finding a place to store your stock once the orders outgrow your work space is the most common complaint. But any of us would count ourselves lucky if the problem with our side hustle became too much demand.
In the meantime, here's the best way to get started:
- Check out the "The Right Way to Start a Subscription Business" webinar, one of the great resources available at Subscription School

Binary Assassin Review Is Binary Assassin Software A Scam Or Legit? Does Binary Assassin System Works? My Binary Assassin Review Share With You The Honest Truth About Binary Assassin Software APP

Binary Assassin Review
Why are there hundreds of thousands of traders and investors via the Internet who trade in the Binary Options Trading market a day and see how to earn money in this area?
This report is divided into two parts will be separated clearly and simply essential points that will help you avoid the usual pitfalls to start earning money through Binary Options Trading.
Pairs trading, not currencies – Like any other relationship, you should be aware of both sides. Success or failure in Binary Options trading depends on correct your estimates on both currencies components of the husband and how both affect on one another, not just one of them.
Knowledge is power – when it begins Binary Options Trading on the Internet, it is essential that you understand the basics of this market if you want to achieve the maximum benefit from your investment.
The main index in the Binary Options market is global events and news. For example, if we assume that the European Central Bank will issue a statement regarding the interest rates, the euro usually this event will cause a wave of activity in the market. Most of the new arrivals seem a backlash to such news as they close their trading positions to miss one of the best trading opportunities with a preference to wait until the market once again restless. The possibility of real profit in the Binary Options appear in times of volatility, not in the quiet times.
Trade is ambitious – many new traders are putting too restrictive orders in order to reap a very small profit. This approach is not desirable in options trading because despite being profitable in the short term (that is if you are lucky asset), you run the risk to be a loser in the long run because it will have to cover the difference between the prices of the question-and-take before they start making any profits, a which it is more difficult when you are a small trading at him when the biggest trades.
Trade cautiously exaggerated – just like rolling which is trying to reap a small profit all the time, the trader who puts a stop loss close with a broker retail orders is the other loses. As mentioned above, it must be given to the center of your trade fair opportunity to prove his ability on production. If the points did not put a reasonable stop loss so as to allow for your business that is showing its capacity to act, in most cases you will end this trade has reduced the ability after the loss of a small part of the submissions you with all trading center.
Independence – If you are new to Binary Options trading, you will decide either trading or using the money be used for trade rackets for you. So far, it looks good. But your loss risk will increase exponentially with any of these two things:
Interference with Binary Assassin do on your behalf (because the strategy may require a long period of pregnancy);
Find advice from too many sources – multiple input leads inevitably lead to multiple losses. Open trading center and then kept it until the end and then Analyze outputs or results, yourself, and yourself.
Small margins – Margin trading is one of the best features in Binary Options Trading as it allows you to trade amounts far greater than the total volume of Binary Assassin System. Nevertheless, it may also be dangerous for novice traders because of the greed factor that destroys a lot of Binary Assassin traders. The best advice here is to increase your leverage in parallel with the high level of experience and the degree of your success.
Lack of strategy – the goal of making money is not a trading strategy. Binary Assassin strategy that will help you in the planning process to make money. Your strategy in detail the approach that will adopted by the sense that the currency will be handled and how to manage your risk. Without a strategy, often will be within the 90% of new traders lose their money.
Trading outside peak hours – traders professional Binary Assassin traders options and funds of hedge has a great advantage excel by retailers young during the hours of off-peak (between 22:00 and 10:00 EST) because they can do the hedge to the Centers for their trading and move them here or there with a small trading volumes (in the sense that their risks are smaller). Homosexual advice for trading outside the peak hours is simply – are not traded.
The only way is the ups and downs – when the market moves up, if the market in a way to rise. When the market moves down, the market is also on his way to landing. That's all about it . There are many systems that analyze past trends, but none were able to predict the future accurately. But if admitted to yourself that all these things happen all the time because the market is moving quite simply, you'll be surprised how much is hard to blame anything else.
Trading on the news most powerful market movements appear near the dates of issuance of the news. Trading volumes are high and be sharp market movements; this means that there will be no better for trade, such as the timing of the news time. This is the perfect time when the big players to amend their trading centers as prices begin to change which results in large flows in the currency market.
Out of trades – if you open the trading center was not pleased in the right direction for you, come out of him. Do not aggravate your fault to stay in this situation and hoped that the reflection of the Trend happen. If you're in a winning trade. Do not talk yourself out of them a lot because you felt or to get rid of stress; this pressure is a normal part of the trading range for the return it.
Do not trade in the very short term – if you aim to achieve a profit by less than 20 points, I advise you, but this trade is because the price of Binary Assassin Software which will deliberate on which will make you the opposite of possibilities at their highest level.
Do not be clever – most successful traders I know who stay on a simple their trade as much as possible. They do not spend all day by conducting analyzes and research on historical trends or web logs keep track with all this, the results of their trade keeps wonderful.
Tops and Bottoms – a matter of fact "bargains" there is no truth in the Binary market trade. Trading in the direction that moves the price and will improve your results in most cases.
Ignore technical factors – to be aware of whether the market in the peak phase of the purchase or sale is one of the main indicators of price movement. Mutations urges often in the market while the whole is moving in one direction.
Emotional trade – without the presence of this important strategy, the trades will be substantially just ideas and these ideas, of course, is a sentiment which is very weak basis for your trades. While most of us will be angry usually do not take this the wisest decisions do not let your emotions affect you.
Confidence – confidence comes from successful trading. If you lost some money through early career in your future trade it is difficult to restore; The idea here is to not go and you're half ready; learn to work before trading assets and always remember that knowledge is power.
The last part of this report will clearly separated and simplicity of other fundamental points about avoiding the pitfalls and start earning more money in Binary Trading.
Acted as a man – If Art to continue with the loss, you simply only stupidity and cowardice do not appear. It takes courage to accept the loss and then wait to try again tomorrow. Stick to the status of a loser trading destroys many of the traders. Permanently. Try to remember always that the market is moving in a non-logical, this does not keep bound by any kind of trading centers; It is not more than a trading center. Successful trading center will not make your business successful in totality; alone continuous and regular performance over months and years is what makes a successful rolling.
Focus – Imagine the potential profits and then "spending" before their investigation is actually not a good thing. Mark your concentration focused on the current centers and place reasonable stop loss points in time when trading. Then sit back and enjoy the ride that you do not have control over the fact of it now because the market will do whatever he wants to do.
Do not trust the pilot accounts – experimental trades often lead to traders to learn bad habits. These bad habits may be dangerous in the long term for this it away because you simply play the virtual money, once you learn how to work the system and your broker, never trade in small quantities and only take the risk that you can carry around in loss or profit.
Stuck to the strategy – while you win money by good trading strategy, do not let yourself lose half of what has been achieved in the coming time because of the passions; stuck invested profits in the next trade that fit your goals in the long term.
Trading today – most successful Binary Assassin traders focused mainly on what happens in the short term and not what might happen in the next month. If you are trading with tight limits of 40 to 60 points orders focused on what is happening today because the market will move too quickly in the class does not favor the consideration of the long future considerations. Yet the long-term trends can not be said that it is important; they will always help you even if you are trading on a daily basis.
Clues in the details – sum up the total balance of your account will not tell you the whole story. Then given to the individual trade details; analyze your losses and losses related to the stages in general, Binary Assassin Traders who earn money without exposure to significant financial losses are to have the opportunity to achieve greater positive and stable performance in the long term.
The simulation results – Be warned full of "black box" notorious regimes. These systems binary recommendations usually do not explain specifically how it was generating Binary Assassin signals. Typically, these systems only show a track record of extraordinary results – historical results. The movements to predict future successfully is a multi-quite complex scenarios. Enormous capacity claimed by these systems not only shows great results only retroactive but never will not help you trade well in the future.
Know one currency in a time – each currency pair is unique and has a different way to move in the market. The forces that lead to pair up and down movement is individual for each currency for this study and then learn from experience how to apply the analysis to a single currency at one time.
Risk return. If you put a stop loss of 20 points and ordered to take profit 50 points, the chances of winning are almost 1-3. The fact is, it is due to the presence Binary Assassin trading on the basis of which it is likely to be a winning percentage 1-4. Take advantage of the possibilities that the market gives you.
Trade for the wrong reasons – are not traded if you feel unsure or as a reaction to a situation. Why do you feel bored often return in the first place to the lack of trade to carry out. If you are not sure this often it is up to you do not see a trade you make, this does not make one of your own.
Zen trade, so if you opened a trading center in the market, you should try to think what if it were not taken this step. This level of screening is essential if art keep a clear mind and avoid bow to emotional impulses that increase the likelihood of losses. To achieve this, you must be careful to adopt a quiet and comfortable look. Trading for short periods not exceeding a few hours at a time and accept the results as soon as the trade carried out, it came out of your hand.
Decisiveness – as soon as you decide to place trading order, stick with it and let it take its course. This means that if the stop-loss point close contact with, let the price touched by. If you move the end of trade in the middle of the trading period, then you probably will suffer from even worse counterproductive moves. should appear the same when you recognize, so stay away from this point.
The intersection of short-term Binary Assassin lines – this is one of the most dangerous trade scenarios for non-professional traders. While cut short a long-term lines Binary Assassin her theory on one of the small time frames, this does not necessarily mean any bullish or bearish signals for this does not fall into the trap of believing this.
Binary Assassin index – one other dangerous scenarios. When the first signal on the show a state of fatigue, which usually follows one of the major breakthroughs in the trading signals "overwork" currency begin to emerge. My advice is that you buy with the first sign of an overbought and sells with the first sign of oversold. This Binary Assassin approach means that you will keep with the trend and you succeeded in identifying one of the positive movements that still has room to run. If this percentage K and percentage D reflects both level 80, if your purchase! (The same thing happens on the sell side, when you sell at the level of 20).

09:10 by Anjan Kant
IntroductionI am going to explain a very popular error i.e Unexpected "if" keyword after "@" character while working with ASP.Net MVC Razor View, I am sharing all aspects of this error Unexpected "if" keyword after "@" character.
Error Detail:Unexpected "if" keyword after "@" character. Once inside code, you do not need to prefix constructs like "if" with "@".
When Error "Unexpected "if" keyword after "@" character" comes off
Working on MVC project and working on MVC Razor view, meanwhile a problem faced me whenever using foreach statement in MVC Razor View Engine. I was using nested statement to write some logic. I have been shared my both preview of code 1) Wrong statement and 2) corrected statement which is showing below.
Wrong Statement
@foreach (var item in Model) { @if (item.isCorrect) { // do something } }
Correct Statement
@foreach (var item in Model) { if (item.isCorrect) { // do something } }

Tonglen–The Brilliant Buddhist Method of Breathing Backwards
Some of you might have seen my recent tweet about a beautiful, bubbly, blonde who just joined my acting class. She is beyond sweet with a sultry southern flavor and she bakes Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookies for every single class. And yes, they are still warm when I stuff five of them into my mouth at once. In short, she is a total sweetheart which makes her enemy #1.
I say this as a joke obviously. Kind of. Sort of. To be totally honest, the second I laid eyes on her in rehearsal, I stepped out of the room and called the office to see about switching into another class. My whole body was tense like I had just seen a shark and gotten my period at the same time. DANGER. It wasn't that she was fake or bad at acting or cloying or any of those things. She was just a funnier, thinner more southern version of myself and I did not know how to deal with that. I only knew one thing at that moment and that was the fact that there couldn't be more than one TORY in the class. And so I panicked and started to do what I ALWAYS do–run away from the icky situation. Who needs acting class? I'll be discovered in a Starbucks someday.
Of course, that's when I heard Pema's voice in my head. (Pema Chodron, if you didn't know is my favorite wise-cracking Buddhist nun who tells it like it is). I had just listened to a teaching where she instructs her students to consider a breathing technique called Tonglen. The best time to use this technique is when you are on the proverbial "hot seat." Something has just triggered you and you are suddenly hooked on an emotion like superglue. And I think we all know what this feels like.
In essence, Tonglen is really just about breathing in and breathing out the problem but done in a REVOLUTIONARY way. Now most of us would instinctively breathe in peace and space and calm and breathe out the problem. We have been taught to inhale strength and perseverance while exhaling weakness and doubt. However, the reason Tonglen is so revolutionary is because the instructions are to do it BACKWARDS. Pema instructs her students to INHALE the dark, hot feeling of anger, craving, jealousy or fear or whatever the problem is at that very moment and EXHALE relaxation and space. Instead of running away and trying to escape from that ugly nasty feeling of stress, you learn to make an actual relationship with it. Because guess what? This aint the last time I'm going to get jealous and if I just keep exhaling that jealousy I'll eventually hyperventilate.
I know you are saying WTF right now and so I'll give you a clear example using Hottie McBakesalot to teach the four steps of Tonglen.
The Tonglen Practice at Work
Bodhichitta means "awakened heart." So before you begin your Tonglen practice, visualize an image that can evoke the feeling of opening your heart. I like to use the image of a porch on a beach house. I'm gazing at the ocean while eating lobsters and beer. Some people use an image of a hot cup of coffee, or a warm bathrobe after getting out of a pool or even a Farside cartoon that always makes them laugh. It could be anything. Just as long as it gives you a flash of spiritual space in which to begin the practice.
The actual "problem" can be an infinite amount of things for any given person but basically it is whatever makes you hooked in that moment. In this case mine was a feeling of strong, hot jealousy. This particular problem felt like a red wave of panic had crested over me and was overwhelming my senses with wishing I were more like this girl. So I breathed IN the red, hot wave. I accepted that this was how I was feeling. I asked to know more about this feeling and how it affected my body. And I didn't just dip my toe, I dove in with each inhale, making a commitment to work with the issue and not escape it. I dealt with it. I inhaled.
Now just as important as inhaling the pain and craving is exhaling something that gives you space and peace. Pema thinks of the Colorado sky and its limitless qualities on her exhale. I like to think of a sprinkler touching my feet on hot pavement. Sometimes just the word "compassion" can be your out-breath. Whatever it is, it should give you a sense of joy or peace or even humor.
Here is the best part. After you feel as if you are inhaling and exhaling at a normal rate, you spread out the practice. Now when you inhale, you not only take in the heavy emotion for yourself but you breathe it in for anyone else on the planet that happens to be going through that same motion. So I inhaled jealousy for myself and for anyone, anywhere that right then was feeling trapped by wanting to be someone else. And as I exhaled my ocean image, I exhaled it for all those people so that they could use even just a flash of relaxation. This breeds compassion, a feeling of "oh I've been there" with the rest of the world. This very act TEACHES you empathy.
As soon as I ran out of the acting rehearsal, I raced to the bathroom and practiced Tonglen for about 15 minutes. After I came out I went straight up to Hottie McBakesalot and confessed my feelings, telling her I was two seconds away from leaving the class because she was so intimidating to me. She laughed, gasped and embraced me and said in the most lovely southern drawl "Darlin' I have nothing but a sweet soul"
I don't doubt it.

Actress Katey Sagal has revealed she is one of the thousands of women Kiss star Gene Simmons claims to have bedded.
The TV star admits she was a struggling young actress, working in a diner, when she fell for the rocker.
Sagal tells talk show host George Lopez, "I was 18 years old, I was a waitress at this restaurant and KISS came in after one of their concerts — it was when they just started, so I went over and I waited on them … and Gene Simmons thought I was kinda cute, so we ended up kinda going out."
And she quickly realized that dating Simmons was a huge career boost for a budding star, who had dreams of becoming a singer: "I took him to my band practice … and he took me to Casablanca Records and he got me a record deal. Pretty good date, right? He sort of got me my first big professional break."

Great Barrier Reef at 'terminal stage': scientists despair at latest coral bleaching data
Mass bleaching – a phenomenon caused by global warming-induced rises to sea surface temperatures – has occurred on the reef four times in recorded history.
Prof Terry Hughes, who led the surveys, said the length of time coral needed to recover – about 10 years for fast-growing types – raised serious concerns about the increasing frequency of mass bleaching events.
"The significance of bleaching this year is that it's back to back, so there's been zero time for recovery," Hughes told the Guardian. "It's too early yet to tell what the full death toll will be from this year's bleaching, but clearly it will extend 500km south of last year's bleaching."
Last year, in the worst-affected areas to the reef's north, roughly two-thirds of shallow-water corals were lost.
Hughes has warned Australia now faces a closing window to save the reef by taking decisive action on climate change.
Australia's politicians have betrayed the Great Barrier Reef and only the people can save it

Jeb Bush oversaw what appears to be an amazing transformation in education results in Florida from 1999 to 2007. He came to Utah to talk to legislators to share those results and what Florida did to achieve them. The Deseret News summarized some of it. However, anyone interested in education needs to learn more. Luckily, you don't have to be among the special 300 who got to attend.
Bush started a non-profit as soon as he finished his time as governor. It's called Foundation for Excellence in Education. On its website you can watch The Florida Formula Student Achievement which gives you the overview. Yeah, it's 80 minutes long. So what? The education of our children is one of the most important things we can spend our time on. It's worth two episodes of Seinfeld reruns or The Office. When you're finished, you then might want to watch any number of the other videos out there or explore their material on excellence in teaching.
There is one key thing that has to be gotten right, however, for the whole thing to work. And that's the test. All of this is based on performance on Florida's FCAT. Right now I'm not too confident of Utah's core tests. First, no teacher knows what's on them. If you don't know what you're being measured on, it's kind of hard to live up to the measurement. A lot of people go all Chicken Little about teaching to the test–"don't teach toward the test! oh, no we're teaching to the test!" But if the test is structured correctly, then that's EXACTLY what we should be teaching to. The second issue is the very objectives we're testing. I have not been impressed with Utah's state objectives. Bad objectives and a bad test sink the whole operation. I've written more on these two issues here.
Still, I think Florida is on to something. Watch the video and then tell me what you think. I would be thrilled to have what I've seen so far implemented in Utah.

Can I do a link titled "Contact me" and have it go to my email address? I've tried several different ways, to no avail.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Can I link to email?
Just for reference, please next time tell us what you have tried. Normally we can't help if you don't know what you've done. :)
Keep in mind that doing this will have spammers pick up your email address which will flood your inbox with spam. You can try what I've done:
That generates an image showing your email address which can't be picked up by spammers. Just make sure the file name of the image is something random and place the code in a widget.
I wondered where those images came from! I've got spam up the wazoo & have just changed my email address to avoid it (and this time, didn't include a direct link) Too bad that image thing doesn't work for self-hosted email addresses.
Can't you take a program like Paint and just make it a solid background with text, save as JPG and upload that? It should work.
Yes, it does work too.
OK - so I though about that. And then I wondered if the img source should link to the actual email adddress. If that is the case, won't the spammers still be able to get it?
Vivian - Yup. Most spiders read teh address from the mailto portions of the tag, not the text that's displayed.
OK, so the safest thing is to just put the address in the way I have it on my About page (with the spaces in it and not a direct link). That's fine. Too bad for folks who want to just click on an email address.
I used to have an image with text written over it that was linked and clickable. What I endured was mountains of spam. nosy suggested her generator and I used it but also linked the image - mountains of spam. drmike suggested removing the link and I haven't had the same problem since.
The issue with the image generator is for those readers who surf with text browsers. They don't see images. For that, best bet would be to put the address broken up like Vivian mentions into a alt or title tag for that image.
Thanks - gottcha. :)
I used an email obfuscator to generate something that spambots supposedly can't read and attached that to an image. It seems to be working so far.
Is the generator thing I found okay? Because I've been telling others about it for a while now.I looked at the page source of my site and it doesn't show my email address though.
I had my new email address on my blog for maybe one day (in the mailto format) and got a spam email to that address today. I may need to change it again.
I'll give the email obfuscator thing a try.
The email thingee wouldn't work for me.
I think you're fine. Like drmike mentioned, bots read from the mailto portion. If your address isn't visible (readable) in the page source, you should be covered.
Sorry it's not working. Is the obfuscator not creating the code or did the code it produced not work on your blog?
A couple of years ago, I wrote something similar to obfuscate email addresses. The only difference between the tool provided above and mine is that my encoder asks you for a text link.
If you care, check it out.
I really recommend the "displaying email address as an image" approach.
Only real people contact you.
I wish I would have known about your encoder a couple months ago. I could just remove the text link part generated and attach the code to an image. I've bookmarked your tool and will use it the next time. Thanks!
You posted while I was typing. I couldn't use the tool nosy suggested because my email addresses are through my domain. Is there an image generator I can use?
I think I found one that will work for you here
generator - http://pribadi.or.id/email/
blog article - http://pribadi.or.id/diary/2005/05/12/newmod-email-image-generator/
Now I'm thinking of linking my obfuscated code to that image. I know that defeats the whole purpose but the image generator you found is pretty cool. Thanks for finding it so quickly. :)
Sorry it's not working. Is the obfuscator not creating the code or did the code it produced not work on your blog?
The code didn't work. I tried to put it on my About page and it kept getting stripped out. I'm going to give that visual link thing a shot.
To whoever is interested, I just updated my email encoder. It now supports conversion to ASCII Hexadecimal Numbers, so you now have two encoding types to choose from.
You have the choice to just use the text link or replace it with the image generated with that great tool timethief found.
I owe you an apology. As soon as you said stripped, I realized I left the wrong link. I remember being frustrated because I couldn't get it to work. Ended up finding another obfuscator with a code that did work.
Note to Mod: Please deactivate that "email obfuscator" link in one of my earlier comments. Thanks!
I won't leave the other link because devblog's encoder does exactly the same thing and I plan on using it in the future. Make sure to use the "HEX (%70)" option and it will work fine. Sorry again for the confusion.
Thanks for the update. Your tool will come in handy.

Jello Shots can be fun AND elegant. Create tasty adult treats to help get any party started with a touch of class. They are shaped like martini or margaritas and have the great jello shot tastes you love.
Creating these 'stiff' cocktails in our plastic molds provides a number of benefits
1) They look fun! It's not your typical frat house shooter - these look elegant and inviting
2) They set faster. Because the cold air is able to circulate around the entire mold, the jello sets quicker than shot cups with bottoms that rest on trays and aren't exposed to the cold air.
3) They can be less messy to eat. Once the jello sets, guests can pick up the delicacy in the parchment papers and slurp 'em down. No need to stick fingers into a shot cup, or frantically wiggle their tongue into the corners of the plastic.
Of course you can always set the jello directly in the cup without the paper. Provide a small cocktail spoon to dish out.
4) Tray is stable. Cups snap into the tray so you can easily transport the stiff cocktails from the refrigerator to the table - or across town.
5) Great flavor possibilities. We provide over 20 classic jello shot flavors - plus use your own favorite recipes. Making a jello shot is super easy - but we also provide some gourmet stiff cocktail ideas that will exercise more creativity.
6) You'll use these for lots of occasions! Serve them early in the party along with appetizers to get things going! Serve them as an adult dessert. Great for any adult gathering including girls night, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, holiday parties and more.
What's Included:
2 acrylic tray (20" x 15"). Each tray holds 12 cocktail cups that snap into tray for an elegant and safe presentation
24 acrylic cups. You choose either martini or margarita style. Each cup holds about 2 oz of jello with the paper and about 1.5 oz of jello if you don't use the papers.
96 parchment serving papers. Jello sets directly in the paper. Guests pick up the paper cups and slurp their jello shot down!
1 recipe pamphlet with over 20 classic recipes such as pina colada, margarita, sex on the beach and more. It includes 4 Gourmet Stiff Cocktail Recipes such as Buttery Apple, Chocolate Covered Cherry and B-52.
How do they work:
1) Create your jello shot liquid based on our recipes or your own
2) Snap each cup into the tray and line with parchment paper cup
3) Let the liquid jello cool for a few minutes then pour into the parchment paper
4) refrigerate for at least 1 hour (likely need about 2)
5) Bring out to the party. Guest pick up the paper (not the cup), raise it to their lips and slurp it in. No need for spoons or getting your fingers messy.
All prices are in USD
