Frequently Asked Questions
What is mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness Meditation is a medically researched, nonsectarian, format for meditation. It is a form of meditation designed to develop the skill of paying attention to our inner and outer experiences with acceptance, patience, and compassion.
The MBSR program is being medically studied these days as a form of complimentary medicine for a broad range of medical and psychological conditions, including wellness, focus, chronic conditions, fertility treatment, pregnancy, anxiety, depression, and more. There is also research about societal conditions such as addressing poverty and violence.
The Huffington Post is doing an excellent job of compiling media articles about the exciting results. See their articles about mindfulness being applied in the worlds of medicine, education, psychology, art, business, etc.
But, of course, there is no way for this website to give you advice on what the best thing could be for your situation. Talk to your health care provider.
Is this meditation training a religion? (Is it Buddhist?)
Humans are naturally able to access qualities such as compassion and mindfulness within themselves, regardless of belief systems. One of the reasons to practice mindfulness meditation is to grow or cultivate the natural mindfulness that you already possess.
Mindful Boston is dedicated to making these classes accessible to all people of all beliefs, including non-belief. We have no ties to any one philosophy or religion. See our Cooking Metaphor page comparing our Meditative Arts Institute to a Culinary Arts Institute for a more thorough explanation of our secular approach.
Can I sit in a chair for meditation? Or lie down?
Yes and yes.
In these classes, there is no requirement to stay in any rigid pose. You are welcome to move as you need to. You are welcome to change positions. Chairs are always available for you to sit in, and yoga mats are sometimes available for lying down (or you are welcome to bring your own).
A comfortable and safe posture for your body is essential. Nothing in these classes should hurt you. If you feel pain during class, just stop whatever you are doing. In yoga, always feel free to ask the teacher for alternative instructions in the case of pain.
What program should a beginner start with?
Check out our Where Do I Start page to learn what program is best for you.
What program should an advanced meditator begin with?
Again, it's a good idea to check out our Where Do I Start page.
Also, if you are an advanced meditator, then you have probably heard of the concept of "Beginner's Mind"... It is recommended that meditators from traditions other than MBSR engage in this work from the very beginning. In addition to that basic recommendation, there is a question for you- "Why are you interested?"
- If your answer is that you want to become an MBSR teacher, please go to the UMass Medical Center's Center for Mindfulness website and follow their instructions. The Center for Mindfulness requires a beginner-level MBSR program under phase 1 in their training. Our MindfulBoston MBSR does fulfill their requirement for participant MBSR. It would be great to have you join our class! Since MindfulBoston classes are located in the heart of Cambridge, a good number of our MBSR participants have future plans for teaching. It is not uncommon for participants in our MBSR Intensives to have long meditation histories in their home traditions.
- If your answer is that you want to bring meditation teaching into your work with clients, there is a Mindful Boston training for teaching just the basics. Again, you will need to start with MBSR and a sense of beginner's mind as prerequisites.
How do I register for classes?
RSVP at the Meetup Group for both the Community Meditation Nights and the Meditation Toolbox class.
Because of MBSR's intensive nature, there is an application process. Mindful Boston now requires that you graduate from our Toolbox program before enrolling in our MBSR. Instructions for how to enroll in MBSR will be given to you at the end of the Toolbox series.

The Education Department's Office for Civil Rights has rejected charges [1] that some protests against Israel at the University of California at Berkeley constituted illegal anti-Jewish bias, as some Jewish students and alumni charged. A letter from OCR found that the protests "constituted expression on matters of public concern directed to the university community. In the university environment, exposure to such robust and discordant expressions, even when personally offensive and hurtful, is a circumstance that a reasonable student in higher education may experience. In this context, the events that the complainants described do not constitute actionable harassment."
The University of California at Santa Cruz announced that a similar complaint against it had also been rejected by the department. [2]

Hey everyone,
So first I'd like to thank everyone that still checks out this site, despite my glacial posting rate. You guys rule, and I'm always happy to see new comments, facebook likes, and any other method of digitally waving at me and going "hey". And second, I'm looking to change that terrible pace.
My pledge in 2016 is to update 100 times, and keep good on my supposed update schedule. I've been out of the game for too long. Gotta throw my gloves back in the ring. My car on the track. My gun… pointed at a guy? Something. There's no reason I can't put two comics a week out, and I need to be productive, both for your sake and mine.
Look for more comics here. I got ideas.

At first I didn't see the point in compression socks or sleeves. But some marathoners swear by them, so I figured I'd get a pair since I'll be running high mile runs and want my legs to recover as fast as possible. These are so comfortable. My legs feel great when I wear them after running my long runs! I wore them during a run once and didn't really notice much of a difference, so I probably won't wear them while I run. And lets face it, they would look pretty weird with running crops.
I mentioned these in my marathon food post but I have to write about them here because I love them so much. These are the tastiest form of "endurance food" that I've tried. I prefer them over Gu any day!
I was in dire need of a new sportsbra for running. My older ones were starting to well…really reek, which is probably TMI. I think I need to throw them out. Anyway, after trying a bunch on at Dick's a few weeks ago, I decided to go with this one because it fit great. It is PRICEY, however, although I think its worth it because it will (hopefully) last me years. I like the way it fits and doesn't chafe too bad (something is guaranteed to chafe when you're running for 3+ hours).
Note: I paid for all of these products & this is my honest opinion on them–the links are where you can find them in my amazon store.
Ever since getting the iPhone 5, I've been taking advantage of Pandora on my runs! I love having new music to listen to since my old running playlist was getting pretty boring! I love running to dance music like Deadmau5 so this station is awesome. Also, the new earpods that came with the iPhone are amazing because I can control the volume and skip tracks right on the cord so I don't have to take my phone out of my pocket. Sweetness.
Everyone and their mother probably has been using this app longer than I have, but since I just got an iPhone I can finally use it. It works similar to my GPS watch but speaks my average pace, distance and time right in my ear when I hit certain mile markers, which is pretty cool. I can virtually ignore it if I don't want to be constantly staring at my pace the whole run which is nice. It loads quicker than my watch which is also good for when I'm pressed for time during my lunch break runs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Garmin and will continue to use it for my long runs, but I love using this app for my shorter weekly workouts.

Not that I ever believed her, but for several years now, Beyonce has been talking about wanting to retire at the age of 30 so she can settle down and have some big head babies. I tend to never believe artists when they talk about retiring, though for a second there I worried she might scale back after marrying Jigga. One kid alone could spread those hips wider than the Mississippi — and we all know our girl loves her some Popeyes. He done a put a ring on it, so the fear that after a two piece of chicken and kids she might up and decide at 29 1/2, "Let Rihanna have it" started to feel real.
Thankfully, Beyonce has come to realize retirement is for quitters.
She told Ebony: "I've worked so hard on my craft, and I will never stop. I will never retire. I love it way too much."
That's right. Don't you ever leave me, Beyonce. I don't know what it's like to live in a world without Beyonce p-poppin' all over it, but that is not a world I want to ever come to learn anyway. Not now. Not ever. Especially now that's she's back to wearing hair that's not straight and blonde.
When she told me she wanted to record a soul album, I was so geeked. When I heard "Work It Out," I fell in love. She looks amazing in this photo. I swear I would run barefoot down MLK to get her the Tuesday special at Popeyes — two piece for .89 cents. You know what? Fuck it. I would get her the family special. She's that wonderful, which is why sometimes I get disappointed that she doesn't live up to her full potential. I want the soul album she promised me.
Yesterday I was talking to a friend and Beyonce basher who claims I never say anything bad about her. If you read this blog, you know that's not true at all. I've virtually handed her a muzzle, expressed disappointment in her stagmatism both musically and visually, so it's not like I compliment every single thing she does. Me thinks this person doesn't really think this, but I will say this: If you don't like Beyonce even a little bit, something must be wrong with you.
There I've finally said it. I can understand why you may wish she go a little deeper, have a little more substance, or push herself harder, but how can you not like Beyonce at all? Seriously. If you don't like her at all, what's the matter? Have you been treated for this condition, and if so, what did the doctor prescribe? Better taste? I'm intrigued.
I've noticed online – typically from message boards – that Beyonce brings out the insecure little girl in people. Is she the best singer in the world? No. Is she the best dancer in the world? Nah, but I certainly appreciate a good twirker. Is the the best we have in the industry overall? Hell yeah.
She is leap and heads above her peers, and while I hate when people get accolades for being so good because everyone else is so bad, I don't place Beyonce in that category. She would be killing it in any decade.
That is why I am so glad she has no plans of ever leaving me. I want us both to be getting it in our walkers until we're over 100. If that thought makes you queasy, take a Tums. You're not living right.
Stanism aside, how can you not find any redeemable qualities in Beyonce? Yes, she seems to be a part of Dr. Suess' book club, and yeah she's pretty vapid in most interviews. Alright, she acts like she molded and shaped the Earth herself some \times, but a lot of big artists can be described this way. I happen to think most celebrities are pretty boring in general. But as long as you can deliver at your job, I'm good.
Have you watched an awards show without her? I rest my case.
I've heard different theories about why so many can't stand her. Some say you're likely a loser, or you're ugly…maybe a combination a both. When people grip about so many people fawning over her, it usually comes across as some petty high school jealousy. Hey, I ain't have those issues, fam.
So, if you're a hater for any other reason besides Beyonce stealing your stuff (which she seems to do on the regular), explain yourselves.
It's not normal to not like her.

Canadians have lost a significant voice in Que- bec evangelicalism. Éric Wingender, a profes- sor and former president of École de Théologie
Évangélique de Montréal, died suddenly of a heart attack
on October 5. (ETEM is a Mennonite Brethren-supported
Bible college.)
I recall a memorable evening with him in a downtown
Montreal restaurant as he passionately described the dynamics of evangelicalism in
Quebec, particularly among the Québécois
community and the importance for his
generation – those who had come to faith
in Jesus Christ in the '70s and '80s – to live
out the gospel in ways that would impact
the unique culture and history of Quebec.
Months before he died he published an
article in the Mennonite Brethren Herald in
which he explored the implications of how
Quebec's culture has changed during his lifetime. He wrote:
"It is as if ourculture is goingdigital, while thechurch keepsbroadcastinganalog."
The rapid erosion of distinct Christian elements
from Quebec's cultural heritage means church activities and more generally what churches are about
seem to become less and less intelligible. It is as if
our culture is going digital, while the church keeps
broadcasting analog.
Using powerful imagery he said, "Like a brush soaked
with a powerful paint remover, secularism has liquefied
and scrubbed away religion from people's lives." What
spoke to his generation has become a dead language to
younger generations, a language unable to communicate
the gospel.
These secular generations will not, he contends, look
for meaning in spirituality focused on "an 'I' trying to
Together for influence, impact and identity
The evangelical Fellowship of Canada is the national association of
evangelicals gathered together for influence, impact and identity
in ministry and public witness. Since 1964 the eFC has provided
a national forum for evangelicals and a constructive voice for biblical principles in life and society. Visit us at theeFC.ca.
beautify its inner life with something more uplifting thanthe crass materialism that pervades everything." Ratherthey will be animated by "a profound, existential acknow-ledgment that one's life ought to serve a higher purpose."For these resisters of the prevailing culture, "The questfor God in a secularized culture will often manifest itselfby a quest for justice and a desire to contribute to the well-being of the larger community."Incarnational living by which we model our lives afterJesus is the beginning of our witness. "Evangelicalismought then to begin by something that can be called 're-incarnation': like God did through Jesus, we begin by beingwith people, trying to understand them and connect withthem. Then we start to serve them in ac-cordance with their needs and in keepingwith our resources and abilities."Our caring for others, our pursuit of jus-tice and standing against the excesses ofour culture will attract these secular seek-ers, who may come to understand theirdesire for a more just world "is a whisperof the Spirit of God."His analysis is also applicable to therest of Canada. When the heads of theEFC's affiliates met in Montreal two years ago, we began tounderstand the implications of Quebec's unique history –but also that many of the current dynamics of secular Que-bec are also coming to expression in the rest of Canada.
What Éric Wingender calls us to is a full understanding
and expression of discipleship. It entails a rejection of the
impulses of secularism that reduces the Christian faith
to mere spirituality, something wholly personal and for
private enrichment only.
True discipleship compels us to care for the vulnerable
and marginalized, to pursue justice and righteousness.
This, he wrote, is the beginning of evangelism, as it will
inevitably result in conversations with others, just as Jesus
encountered others while healing the sick and bringing
Good News to the poor. Éric Wingender was an inspiring
and challenging thinker who was passionate about being
a disciple of Jesus and encouraging others to likewise live
out their Christian faith. We honour him by wrestling with
his analysis and conclusions about faithful witness in a
secular Canada.

Jesus as Healer
Full Product Description
This book presents in readable, non-technical language the findings of the latest scholarship on one important aspect of 'who Jesus was' - the many reports in the New Testament and other early Christian writings that Jesus performed healings. The book paints a picture of the sick and sickness in Jesus' world and the means available to deal with sickness. It shows how Jesus as healer fits - and doesn't fit - into that world. We see him as one of the many healers of his day, but set apart as a 'wounded healer' who in his own death achieves the ultimate 'healing', victory over death. In addressing the question 'did Jesus really heal?' the author provides readers with resources from biblical scholarship, medicine, sociology and anthropology to help arrive at their own answers to the question. The suggestions for further reading as well as the questions for discussion make this book ideal both for personal reading and for group study.
Jesus as Healer by Harold Remus (Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario) was published by Cambridge University Press in April 1997 and is our 59276th best seller. The ISBN for Jesus as Healer is 9780521585743.

This is what happens when governments decide to get involved in the business of healthcare.
The Immigration Department this week rejected Dr Moeller's application for permanent residency, saying the potential cost to the taxpayer of 13-year-old Lukas's condition was too great.
[From Chorus of demands to let doctor Bernhard Moeller stay | The Australian]
What great burden will Dr. Moeller, a specialist physician serving a town of 50,000 going on 2 years, put on the Australian government? What burden is so great that it should cause the government to deny him residency in the country he has been contributing to? His son has Down syndrome.
No person should be denied a visa or citizenship because they have a medical condition. Shame on the Australian government.

A few months ago, Yahoo! had revamped its Image Search preview. In addition, Yahoo! announced a refinement to its Image Search service – Travel Image Refiner. The new travel image refiner act as a virtual navigator that allows users to explore their popular points of interest by giving more contextual information about destinations.
It is actually a simple enhancement to its search filter. For instance, if you're planning to visit Rome. The new travel image refiner will show all popular destinations located in Rome such as the Colosseum, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. The moment you click on the Pantheon tab, an overlay image gets displayed. It allows you to virtually tour image results without leaving your original search results page.
The travel image refiner also helps you find out more about a place you've heard about. Currently, the Yahoo! Image Search is available for location specific searches and planning to expand this capability to other types of image searches as well.

Flex Sensor Accelerometer?!?
This prototype is an attempt to sense the movement of a ping pong paddle being swung—not only the paddle's movement , but also the difference in the velocity of the swing.
The prototype works on the idea of inertia—the tendency of a body at rest is to remain at rest. As the paddle swings forward (green arrow) the weight will want to stay in its resting position. As the paddle moves away from the weight, the plastic strip will start to bend given the resistance of the weight's inertia (blue arrow.) Bending the strip bends the attached Flex sensor, which in turn changes the resistance to the voltage passing through it. The faster the swing, the more the strip bends, the more resistance is generated.
To make the prototype I used a Flex sensor, some thin sheet plastic (in this case, styrene), a bolt and nut, wire, a little tape, and some wood screws.
First, I cut the plastic into a thin strip with a wider tab on one end. I then drilled a hole in the thin end to pass the bolt through, and two more holes down at the tab end for the wood screws. I put a bolt through its corresponding hole and threaded it on the nut. The bolt and nut will act as a weight in the system. After that, I secured the Flex sensor to the plastic strip (just beneath the bolt) with a little clear tape. I then laid the strip against the flat part of the paddle (Flex sensor side facing the paddle) and lined up the tab to the paddle's handle. The plastic strip was attached to the handle with the wood screws. I secured the wires with a bit of electrical tape, just to clean up the appearance and to protect the contacts on the sensor from any potential abuse.

Photography Study: Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum
I think I'm starting a new series! I am so in love with photography it's not even funny. After attending my photography class a few weeks ago I am taking so many more photos, and even loving my mistakes, because now I understand what I'm doing wrong. So every once in a while I'm just going to post photos I've taken. Sometimes, like today, they'll be grouped and themed, while others will just be a photo dump, of sorts. This series is going to be for personal reasons just as much as a blogging thing. I want to keep track of my progress, and this will be an easy, visual way for me to see how, when and where I improve. Huzzah!
These photos were all taken in the same place. I went up with my family to check out the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum as a potential location for a festival in the early fall. I had never even heard of this place, but I was instantly happy that I brought my camera because it was rich with fun things to take pictures of, and it was a beautiful day.
This place is unlike any other place I've been in San Diego. It's not really even in San Diego- it's in Vista, which is way north county. It felt very rural when we got there, and it was a bit like stepping back in time. We even spoke to a man who worked there who was literally bleeding from an engine repair injury while he spoke to us. No big thing- just bleeding.
I was also disappointed- my grandpa was a steam engine connoisseur and would have loved this place. He visited me several times before he left us in 2004, and I wish I had known about this lovely, quirky place to bring him.
I also learned a valuable lesson: check your settings! I forgot that the evening before I had been at Le Diner à San Diego, and my friend, Brent, had used my camera for a few shots. When I started taking photos at the museum I was wondering why they didn't look the way I thought they would. Then I realized that Brent had put my lens in manual focus, and I also hadn't adjusted my ISO for daylight. Whoops! Once I did that, I was off and running. Lesson learned!
Check me out- I'm doin' good, right?

As I write this, the terror situation continues in Mumbai, India. The Times of India first reported the initial news sometime around 10 am this morning, which means it has already been going on for over twelve hours. Although Mumbai has suffered from other significant terrorist actions in the past few years, this is the most violent and long-running attack that I can remember. According to the latest reports, at least 101 people have been killed and hundreds more have been injured. The beautiful Taj hotel building has flames shooting through its top floors and terrorists are still holed up in the Oberoi Trident hotel.
One tragic outcome is that the Mumbai police have been hard hit by this attack, having lost three of their top people: ATS Chief Hemant Karkare, Encounter Specialist Vijay Salaskar and ACP Ashok Kamte, have been killed. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families.
Atypically for terrorist activities in this region, this particular attack seems to have specifically targeted foreigners. That, and a high level of coordination across multiple targets, points to a new level of sophistication for the local terrorists.
The best way to monitor the situation from afar, I've found, is via twitter. The catchall twitter tag #mumbai (thanks to @fredwilson for pointing this out) is currently getting multiple updates every minute. Although CNN is much more visual and includes more analysis, it's hard to beat twitter for real-time updates of breaking news. Gaurav Mishra provides some great commentary on the role of real time citizen journalism in covering these attacks (as does TechCrunch).
"The purpose of terrorism," Vladimir Lenin once said, "is to terrorize." Perhaps, but I think that these terrorists have underestimated the resilience of spirit of the people of Mumbai. In the same vein as New Yorkers, the Mumbaikars will survive this brutal act of terrorism and eventually emerge the stronger for it. Terrorism has become a scourge worldwide, but in the end, it cannot succeed; by simply going on with their daily lives, the regular folks - unsung heroes all - will eventually prevail.

Triple mushroom and truffle risotto is my contribution to Final FantaFeast February, being hosted by Pixelated Provisions. This month's Fandom Foodies theme is all about the Final Fantasy video game. So full disclosure here – I haven't actually played Final Fantasy. However, my husband is hooked on Final Fantasy XV, which is the most recent of the Final Fantasy series. I watch sometimes as he plays, peeking over my I-Pad as I watch the latest episode of Top Chef, and have thought it looks interesting. But not interesting enough for me to put down the I-Pad or the latest book I'm reading.
I am, however, fascinated by the role food plays in the game. One of the characters, Ignis, is the chef for the group and throughout the game, players can unlock various recipes, as well as go to the market, and forage for food. Uh yeah – that's an awesome part of the game as far as I'm concerned. When Fandom Foodies put out the schedule of themes for this year and I saw Final FantaFeast February, I immediately started looking for the foods that Ignis cooks in the game. And when I saw Triple Truffle Risotto, there was no going back.
So the top image is from the game and the bottom is my triple mushroom and truffle recipe. Since I didn't have access to funguar, alstrooms, and Saxham rice (all the ingredients to make the dish in the game), I opted to go with a mix of mushrooms for the triple part, as well as some truffle oil and truffle cheese. I would have gone full out triple truffle, but $21 for truffle salt at Trader Joe's was a bit out of even my this-food-is-for-my-blog-cost comfort zone. I love the combination of mushrooms though – some maitakes, some oyster mushrooms, and some creminis. Feel free to substitute out any combination of mushrooms here – this would be lovely with chanterelles when they are in season, as well as morels, and so on.
Risotto takes a bit of time to make – I usually schedule about an hour from start to finish, as I like to baby it along. A long slow simmer of the rice and stock is the key to a lush creamy risotto. I also tossed in a cipollini onion – and honestly, if you can find these in your market, I encourage you to use one to make this dish. Cipollinis become caramel rich when they are cooked (and even better – when they are cooked in butter), making them a perfect complement to the mushrooms.
I think my triple mushroom and truffle recipe would do Ignis proud.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 types of mushrooms, chopped. (About 2 cups of mushrooms, total)
- 1/4 cup white wine or dry Vermouth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 1/4 cup white wine or dry Vermouth
- 5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup truffle cheese, grated (or Parmesan or Asiago cheese)
- Truffle oil to finish
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion and saute until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and saute for a minute. Add the white wine or dry Vermouth and salt, and saute until all the liquid has cooked off. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken stock to a simmer. Leave simmering.
- Meanwhile, melt two tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent. Add the Arborio rice and cook for a minute, stirring frequently. Add the white wine or dry Vermouth and stir until it is incorporated in the rice/onion mixture.
- Add the simmering stock, 1 cup at a time. Cook on a low simmer between each addition until the stock is mostly absorbed. This will take anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes. Continue to do this until all the stock is used and the risotto is al dente. Take off the heat and add the cheese and salt. Stir to incorporate. Add a dash of truffle oil.
- Portion into bowls and top each bowl with the mushroom mix. Enjoy!
- Serves 4

Ang Lee announced back in April that he would be gearing up to make his latest movie – an adaptation of Elliot Tiber's memoir Taking Woodstock – and now he has a cast.
Emile Hirsch, Imelda Staunton and Liev Schreiber are all joining a cast that already features Demetri Martin as Tiber, the man who volunteered his family's motel as the base for the team planning the Woodstock festival.
James Schamus scribbled the script and Lee will start shooting later this month. Variety is finding its tie-die T-shirts .

From the aerodynamic carbon rim to the DICUT® hub design with Ratchet System® and nail head spokes the RRC 32 DICUT® T wheels are the perfect tubular wheel comfortable on top of a mountain or in a weekly shop ride.
The RRC DICUT® wheel line up is a perfect blend of aerodynamics, technology and design. Their aggressive optics push the rider on the climbs. DICUT® hubs with their fine tuned flange geometry and straight pull spokes provide the stiffness needed. High modulus braking surfaces bonded with a heat resistant resin easily handle all out descents. Dedicated carbon layers improve heat dissipation from the braking surface into the whole rim. Finally, on the last miles to the finish line, the aerodynamically refined rim profile and eleven speed compatibility help to cut through the wind with just the right gear and minimal drag.
DICUT® hub
The potential of the system wheel fully used: The hub is designed to perfectly match the proprietary straight Nail Head spokes, achieving an ideal relation between strength and lightweight.
Waterslide decals
Purposely developed for the DICUT® wheels, this process allows for applying ultra thin decals which do not affect aerodynamics, never come off and weigh close to nothing.
Nail Head spokes
Due to the specific shape of the straight spoke and the hub contact area, the spokes cannot twist under load or while truing, always keeping their perfect aerodynamic orientation.

THE council will soon report on the level of commercial rates generated in the Balbriggan area over the last four years.

Multnomah County Sheriff's Office
Multnomah County Sheriff's Office
A Joyful Noise this was not. More like a big racket.
Beth Ditto, lead singer of the indie rock band The Gossip, was arrested early Saturday morning in Portland, Ore., after she allegedly got extremely drunk, walked out in the middle of the street, blocked traffic and began yelling.
According to Portland Police Department spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson, cops were called to the scene and found the 32-year-old Ditto, real name Mary Beth Patterson, "standing in the middle of the street with her arms extended from her sides like an airplane."
A source told the Willamette Week that a bartender at the Bungalo Bar cut the crooner off because she was too inebriated and once she got outside she threw off her shoes and purse and screamed "Obama! Obama!"
After Ditto ignored officers' commands to move out of the way of four stopped cars, the wannabe Obama girl was taken into custody without incident and booked into the nearby Multnomah County Jail on one count of disorderly conduct. She was released a short time later.
A rep for Ditto, who's a prominent LGBT activist, was unavailable for comment. No word what the president has to say about it either.

Holly Nelson, the missing woman whose body was pulled from Percy Priest Lake [1] on Wednesday, died of head trauma, according to a statement from the medical examiner's office.
Initial reports indicated she likely drowned, but an autopsy revealed injuries consistent with being hit by a boat propeller, the statement said.
Nelson, 25, was on a team-building event with friends and coworkers [1] when she disappeared Aug. 15. She was reported missing when the two rented pontoon boats returned to Elm Hill Marina and it was discovered she was not on board either boat.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is taking the lead in the investigation as it now appears Nelson's death is related to a boating incident.

SAN FRANCISCO _ Mavericks' guard DeShawn Stevenson considers Gilbert Arenas to be like a brother to him.
And when news came down Friday that Arenas would be spared jail time for his gun-possession charge, Stevenson was nearly as relieved as Arenas.
"Obviously, he did something wrong and he's paying the price being suspended all year,'' Stevenson said after Friday's practice. "And for him to get 30 days in a halfway house is awesome. I hope he can take this experience and understand that as a professional you have a target on your back and I'm just happy because they were trying to take everything away from him that he worked so hard for.''
Stevenson, Brendan Haywood and Caron Butler were longtime teammates with Arenas in Washington before the trade brought them to Dallas.
Said Haywood: "Gil's the luckiest guy in the world. He must have a whole back yard of four-leaf clovers. He gets 30 days in the halfway house instead of 90 days in the big house. I'm happy for him.''
Stevenson knows that there will be a segment of public that feels Arenas got preferential treatment. But he doesn't see it.
"Some people will think he got off easy, but I don't,'' he said. "He's been gone a whole year. They took his whole check which is $15 or $16 million. And then to get 30 days in a halfway house and be away from his children and stuff like that. I think he did his time.''

Link Love: The Most Valuable Small Biz Articles Posted This Week
Every day I check out the 100s of subscriptions in my RSS feed about marketing, PR, advertising, branding, social media, and a host of other topics of interest to small businesses that sell online. Most of what gets posted isn't earth shattering but I reserve Fridays for the best reads of the week. So here you have it, the most valuable things I read in the business blogosphere this week:
- 5 Ways to Build Your Email Marketing List
- Stopping Shopping Cart Abandonment
- Tips on Getting Into Magazines
- SEO: The Myth of Duplicate Content
- Three things you can do tomorrow to create sales – Be forewarned that the title of this post is a teeny bit misleading because it's more about learning how to ask the right questions to increase sales. I really loved this post because it did a great job of saying what I was trying to say earlier this week.
- E-commerce strategy: that's not your business! – This is a great post about understanding what you actually sell (hint: it's not products and services).
- 6 Things to Consider When Creating a Promotion for Your Store
- "What I've Learned from Taking Thousands for Product Shots"
- Calculating the Lifetime Value of a Customer – This is a bit of a marketing nerd's read but I still think it's a good one to try to follow because it makes an important point about the value of long term customers

Pressroom Manager
Manages the operation and process of a printing press to get the news out.
What does a Pressroom Manager do?
A Pressroom Manager oversees the operations of a pressroom, managing the printing process and the workers who make it happen. Pressroom Managers primarily supervise the work of the Press Operators who prepare, maintain, control, and operate the printing press equipment.
Pressroom Managers often start at the pressroom as Operators. This path provides you with an understanding of the work that goes into the job and what should be expected of your employees. Possessing firsthand knowledge of how to operate the machinery is also beneficial when your employees need training.
Another portion of your job is project planning, where you determine the projects your printing firm will take on, how long they will take, who will work on the projects, and how much they will cost to complete. Needless to say, project management skills are crucial to accomplishing this task.
Quality control is another aspect of this position. Small printing operations may lack a designated Quality Assurance Manager to oversee this aspect, so the responsibility falls on you. In this role, you ensure that the product you and your employees are creating is up to the standards of both your company and your customer. Every product that leaves your production line reflects upon your leadership.
And speaking of leadership, arguably the biggest part of your job is the ability to lead. There's a reason the owners and any upper management involved chose you to manage the floor operations. You have the ability to relate to others and manage human resource issues.

A Double Dose of Beastie Boys
hip-hop / music / New Releases / news / Uncategorized / Videos
I've got to hand it to the Beastie Boys for keeping things interesting for so long. Diversity pays off, and Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D. have proven to be among the versatile musicians to emerge from hip-hop's golden age. They can still hold it down as a delightfully old school rap unit, they can rock it out, and they can jam out soul/funk style as well. It's also interesting how they can maintain their audience despite taking ridiculously long pauses […]

We're finally done. No more debates, no more speeches, no more ads, no more polls. Now you—you Americans—will vote (or not) and this long, national nightmare will finally be over.
It's been an ugly trudge from the midterms to now. Die-hard American politicos—the ones who were looking forward to a good fight full of big ideas—must be really bummed out. Mark Shields and David Brooks are, and they're generally the nicest guys in the business. They're both discouraged by the smallness, the small-mindedness of both of these presidential campaigns. And they're right.

8 days to go. Short excerpt from Chapter 8:
I sat down on the edge of the bed wondering how I was going to explain this. The less she knew, the better. For her own sake. "I needed to get out of town for a little while."
Her shoulders dropped and she blew a deep breath. "Oh God, Gypsy. What did you do?" She plopped down beside me on the bed.
"Nothing illegal. You're not harboring a fugitive or anything so you don't have to worry about that."
"About that? What do I need to worry about?"
I looked at her for a moment, then stared at the boxes that held my life. "I'd never put you in the line of fire. You should know that. I'm the big brother, remember?"
"So, in other words, you can't tell me why you're here, who you're obviously running from, or why they won't track you down to my house. Great, just freaking great." She leapt up and started out of the room.
"Rhonda—just trust me on this, okay? I'll tell you the whole sordid story when the time's right."
She stood in the doorway with her back to me and slowly nodded. "You keep way too many secrets, Gypsy."

There have been several shows written about the Holocaust, but I saw one of the most riveting new plays I have seen in a while—When Yellow Were the Stars on Earth, written and directed by Robert Williams When Yellow Were the Stars on Earth tells the story of a German cabaret singer and Jewish Resistance fighter who cross paths in the most unexpected way in Berlin 1943, with both women making the ultimate sacrifice for one another.
Robert has written a powerful and emotional play that includes a topic that has not been dealt with in theatre before: the considerable number of Germans who died opposing the horrors of the Nazi machine. Helping to bring this show to life is a terrific cast . The cast as a whole performed great together, each character necessary to tell this story.
There were so many intense moments in this show that I couldn't wait for the next scene.
While some might think, "Why do I need to see another show about the Holocaust?" my answer is simply because it's a topic that still needs to be talked about and because you haven't seen Robert Williams When Yellow Were the Stars on Earth, which gives a different viewpoint about the brave heroes who risked their life to save the Jews.

A big corporation is working on a multimillion-dollar project that goes on for months and uses more resources than they planned for and they do not believe in backing up their data because they have never had reason to before! One power cut and hardware failure later they are back to square one. Failing to protect their data could have led to the undoing of their company.It only takes a second for something unexpected to happen, to compromise your critical and often highly sensitive data and jeopardise your reputation.
For most of us, the use of IT systems is a huge and growing part of our daily lives and saving business data on a PC or server is as routine as breathing.
Having just one copy of business critical information such as accounts, contacts, invoices and important documents is highly risky.
How would your business function if this information was not available for just one day? And what long term effects would this have on you?
Despite advances in technology, data is still highly vulnerable to a number of threats that can leave you in unwanted situations.
What is data backup and why should you do it?
Data is critical to the smooth running of any business and is the essential start to any business continuity plan.
'Backing up' means making a copy of your files; this can then be used if the original copy is lost or damaged.
Preferably the second copy should be held at a different location to the original and be kept in a secure environment.
Data loss can happen in so many ways; according to statistics provided to ZOL Zimbabwe by Crashplan for Africa, the largest cause of data loss is hardware/system failure at 44 per cent, closely followed by human error at 32 per cent.
Apart from the staggering loss statistics, there is also the problem of theft of either the physical hardware; the laptop or PC, or the soft copy data by hackers.
There have been massive data breaches involving data coming from governmental entities and multinational organisations.
Two noteworthy events from the recent past: The 2011 compromise of the identifiable information (PII) of more than 8.3 million U.K. citizens when a National Health Service laptop was stolen.
And the 2014 breach of Sony, where hackers not only erased data from its systems, but also stole, and released to the public, pre-release movies, people's private information, and sensitive documents.
It is also common for data to be saved to just one place, like 'My Documents' on your PC's hard drive.
Which means that if this data were to be accidentally changed or deleted it would take considerable time and expense to restore it, if it could be recovered at all!
More and more, people are able to work effectively on many different devices and in many different places.
They do some work on their laptop, they do some work on your desktop and then complete a file upload from their tablet.
In this global business environment, executives travel regularly, video conference calling from a ZOLspot at the airport.
Did you know that 43 percent of laptops are lost off-site and 33 percent of laptops are lost in-transit?
How much is it going to cost you to find out what data they held – and how much will it cost you to replace all that data?
Staff also leave the business, you can't stop that. But when they go, what happens to your data?
Do you know what data they had? Not just on the office PC but what was on their laptop at home? Did they back it up continuously and religiously?
Even more concerning, what would happen if a key member of your IT team moves on? Is all your company data in a safe and secure place, carefully backed up?
What if your sales database disappeared, along with records of time and billable projects? Or what if there was an un-recoverable crash involving your financial data?
The "The Billion Dollar Lost-Laptop Study" survey conducted by Intel Corporation surveyed 329 companies and found that more than 86,000 laptops had been lost or stolen. Homes and hotel rooms accounted for more than 40 per cent of laptop disappearances.
"It's not only about what happens if you lose your data.
If you have 1 000 computers in your business, statistics show that you will need to upgrade or replace around 250 computers each year.
The manual upgrade and data migration to the new machines represents a heavy, avoidable workload for any IT department and significant down time for the worker whose machine is being replaced"
So how can you back up your data?
Don't be left out in the cold without your important documents again. Data backup software can help you protect and restore your data when something goes wrong.
Depending on the software you choose, this could be a quick and painless process or a slow and arduous one.
Crashplan continuously and automatically backs up every version of every file on every device forever. It compresses, encrypts and then backs up the data.
Keep your backups off site, that way if you do lose data to a fire/flood/theft you know you can retrieve your information.
Crashplan gives you the option of storing your data either in their secure pan-African cloud or at your site.
All your users' devices are added to the system; remote workers, field workers, overseas workers, the data is stored centrally regardless of where they are.
And the data can be restored to wherever they are working.
The bottom line is that if you value what is kept on your computer, it is wise to take steps to protect your information from sudden loss.
Start protecting your data today, contact the ZOL team on 08677 111 111.

text: This episode was certainly entertaining. However at one point I began wondering if I was watching First Blood. The scenes of McGarrett with the black makeup on his face setting his elaborate booby trap were a little bit silly. I will admit that seeing the assasin step into the trap was kind of neat. Also, McGarrett's dialogue was a little bit cheesy. The storyline focusing on Danny's investigation was a little better because it avoided too many cliches. The scenes of the vast Hawaiian wilderness add to this episode's entertainment value. It's not a perfect episode, but it's worth seeing.

Since 2010, Upper Deck has done everything in their power to carve out a new niche for themselves as the premiere provider of licensed college cards. Over the last couple of years, they have slowly ramped up products into a full blown calendar that includes many of their former products in new configurations.
Back in 2011, SPX was one of the first historical products to get axed from a standalone iteration of the collector favorite, but collectors wanted it back so much that UD was happy to oblige with a new version in 2012. In 2011, the SPX box topper packs were added to boxes of SP Authentic, which confused me signficantly. However after a stronger showing in 2012, it made the cut again for 2013, and is the first real higher end product from them so far in 2013. The set has some intriguing retro elements to it, but it also has some extremely disappointing parts of the set as well. So disappointing that it might sway me away from buying a box.
Here are some of the big ones already up:
2013 SPX Dan Marino Shadow Box Auto SSP
2013 SPX Tyler Bray Auto Logo Patch 1/1 – pretty cool card.
2013 SPX Geno Smith Auto Jersey Patch Parallel /30
2013 SPX Eddy Lacy UD Premier Auto Patch
The first and arguably biggest blow to the product is the design of the shadow box cards. Even though they added dual player shadowboxes, the design is less than adequate. Not only is it extremely boring, but it doesnt have the same pizzazz it usually does for a product like this. On the dual shadowboxes, the top layer player is much smaller than the secondary layer player, which only further highlights how little is actually going into the overall composition of the card. The metal style borders and plain backgrounds dont do much for the cards.
The second let down is in the non-autographed relic cards, which have some major design issues. Borrowing a page from 2008 Panini products, Upper Deck chose to only use one set of printing plates for the autos and non autos in their relic cards, which make for examples that look like someone forgot to affix the stickers on the autographs. Its extremely detrimental to the overall design.
The main box hits did turn out pretty nice, as did the throwback cards to the original holoview cards used in the beginnings of the brand. The UD Premier box toppers add a level of added value to the boxes, and look nice for the first time in a long time. If there are on card signed versions of the holoview cards, count me in. I have always said that this was a piece of nostalgia we definitely need to bring back around.
SPX has shown that it IS deserving of its own set, but the execution definitely needs to improve. If Upper Deck wants to compete among the big dogs, perfection in the little things can mean the difference between a loyal customer and someone who moves on. Its that simple.

by pilgrimrock on 2012-11-29 17:44:12.4200
I here alot of variax 500 owners looking to replace the necks with necks a little thinner and faster. I am wondering if anybody has got a variax 500 neck that they want to sell me. If you do give me a shout at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have a variax 500 with a fryed board and a good neck, sell me the neck. It is a shame that line 6 is not stocking parts for these guitars. Thanks, Rich.

My goal is to enhance the contemporary audience's sensibility of "the beauty of being as it is," inspired by the traditional Japanese aesthetic of "furyu (風流)," literally wind flow.
I am a dance artist influenced by a Japanese view of nature and the philosophy of Tao. Like wind swirling through my body, dance is the fundamental force that allows me to think, sense, communicate, and move; my ongoing practice is to rediscover humans as a part of nature and to represent human movement as the embodiment of "The Way" of nature.
Nature encompasses the common elements of nature, including plants, flowers, animals, insects, birds, fish, ocean, rivers, mountains, water etc. But in Japanese, nature also means "being as it is." For humans, this doesn't mean doing as we please. To "be as it is," we are constantly responsible for our own transformative state of being, in search of who we are, evolving together with others, following principles of nature in its cyclical thoroughness. There, the human mind is a seed source to create powerful phenomena. Any tiny movement can yield a moment of enormous impact. Our small actions can spark small social change—that can eventually lead to major and impactful social change. I work on my dance to discover "The Way" to cause such positive flow.
One of my experimental choreographic approaches involves the art of improvisation. For me, improvisation is everything and nothing. It is an invitation to go on a journey not unlike one you would partake in a Zen temple garden: a landscape of yin and yang, all the motion, sound, and the cosmic ephemera. Improvisation is a rigorous and serious expression of the "art of being." For me, it's Freedom, Order and Life Force.
Application of my study of dance anatomy with Irene Dowd, the neuromuscular facilitation technique, gradually became fused with my long-time interest in the Chinese meridians, which represent the Five Elements in nature: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The imagery of 'qi,' or natural force, running through the body's anatomical paths has advanced my imagery and visualization skills along with my movement practice.
The human body is a conduit of gravity. Humans can sense the gravity and read the shift of gravity both in themselves and others. In this way, humans can also sense the tilt of the space in between things and people—and even intangible mental tilts. With a keen sense of transformation and impermanence in the moment, my dance releases the audience's mind and physicality to a new level of awareness by offering the glimpse of intrinsic quality in something ordinary and unpretentious. As a contemporary choreographer living in the world of technology, I believe dance has the power to reengage human physicality with the dynamics of nature.
My dance elevates the audience's sensitivity in order to recognize the glowing, ephemeral beauty of being and gravity in themselves and others. It encourages perception of the intangible, or furyu. It affirms and nurtures the dignity of life.

Gilbert, professor emeritus of mass communication, shared his real-world knowledge of the news industry with Linfield students for 15 years before retiring in 2003. Even now, he continues to write. He recently finished his third novel. All three have been accepted by an agency.
Throughout his career, Gilbert transitioned from the newsroom to the classroom and back again, fulfilling stints at the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, the Boulder Daily Camera and the Albany Democrat-Herald.
When the newspaper industry computerized in the 1970s, Gilbert, then a member of the faculty at the University of Wyoming, took a year's leave to learn the new technology.
"Here I was still working and teaching students on a typewriter," he said.
At the end of his leave, he didn't return to Wyoming. He spent the next decade at the Albany Democrat Herald, rising to the rank of city editor, before returning to academia as part of the Linfield faculty in 1988.
Gilbert has fond memories of his former Linfield students and said he was inspired by many of his colleagues.
"My students are just marvelous individuals," he said. "I do miss the people. It was a privilege to work at Linfield because of my wonderful colleagues. I felt so lucky to be among them."
He and his wife, Julie, spend their time caring for their animals – dogs and horses – and 19 acres of timberland near Dallas. Avid trail riders, they regularly explore a network of paths on their own area and in the Cascades. Gilbert also enjoys wild mushroom hunting and woodworking.
The two are avid travelers. Last year, they spent three weeks in Costa Rica, exploring the country from the far north to the south. This spring, they spent two weeks camping and hiking in wilderness areas of Death Valley. Gilbert plans to revisit some old haunts in Alaska in the fall.
"It's a good life," he said. "As much as possible, our lives are spent outdoors."

Opening Salvo sparks Dinagyang Fever anew
When it rains, it pours. That's how the cold weather greeted the hot support of the Ilonggos towards their favorite Ati Tribes when they showed a preview of their forthcoming performances for the Dinagyang 2013.
Downtown Iloilo City was virtually shut down as the main roads were closed in and around the judging areas and parade route, and as thousands of Ilonggos flocked to the streets to witness the opening of this year's grandest tourism event.
The opening parade was opened by Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog together with the officials of the city government.
Every tribe have their gimmicks – from uniform costumes, same hair color and hair cut (Tribu Ilonganon's warriors sported a moehawk cut with shades of red), and dancing with remix music.
So without further ado, let me introduce this year's contingent tribes for the Ati Tribe Dance and Music Competition for the Dinagyang 2013:
Tribu Panayanon
Tribu Aninipay
Tribu Milagrosa
Tribu Angola
Tribu Salognon
Tribu Pag-asa
Tribu Ilonganon
All Ilonganon Ati warriors had moehawk hairstyle and dyed their hair red. =)
Tribu Molave
Tribu Atub-Atub
I was waiting for their sponsor's very famous jingle to be played during the performance (may bargain, araw-araw!). =)
Tribu Buntatalan-on
Last but not the least… a very entertaining performance by this tribe with their amusing (modern) dance steps.
With the Dinagyang Week officially on, the whole city of Iloilo is now geared to unparalleled fun, merry-making, dancing, partying and more! Hala Bira!

Welcome to week 5 folks! This week my dinners were not very complicated. Mostly chicken and not a lot of prep. It has been tough being the solo parent from sun up to sundown while Mike is teaching and coaching after school. We are making it work though! I have to go grocery shopping so hopefully next week will have more variety (aka less chicken).
Monday – Leftovers/Pizza (We have a lot of pizza in our house right now).
Tuesday – Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde. I halved this recipe and it still worked for me. Plus, it left me with a jar of salsa verde for taco night!
Wednesday – I made this Greek Orzo Pasta Salad but instead of orzo I just used lettuce. I love that salad dressing! Then for some extra protein, I added in some of Andy's fave baked chicken tenders.
Thursday – Taco Night! I made this salsa verde chicken for tacos, but instead of in the slow cooker, I just did it in the pan over high heat for like 20 mins, then shredded the chicken.
Friday – Lemon Brown Butter Roasted Cod with some quinoa. Instead of cod I used frozen tilapia I had in my freezer. It's all the same to me!
Be back on Monday after a weekend of house hunting, probably depressed. Good thing that pizza month continues so I can eat my feelings!

If you can do something about it, then do it, If you can't let it go.
Never allow the same person to hurt you or make you feel bad! Let go of negative things and people bringing you down. Don't surround yourself with people who don't clap when you win.
Will power is the best way to get rid off anything you don't want in your life.
Let it go! By remembering bad and negative things that happened to you in the past, you're forgetting to be happy in the present. ~ Pio Pacheco

On Nov. 14, the Democrats in the U.S. House voted 177 to 29 in favor of Rep. Nancy Pelosi's bid to become their leader. Interestingly, the elections held earlier this year taught the majority of Democrats nothing. In the South, Democrats were humbled by the tag "too liberal for (put in the state name here)." So, what do the Democrats do? They elect a San Franciscan Democrat to define the vision and strategy of dealing with the Republicans for at least the next two years. This is amazing, because you cannot find a more liberal Democrat than those out of San Francisco.
Still, the law of mediocrity will prevail - unfortunately. Time and time again, it has been demonstrated that when Republicans win, they do not make smart decisions on how to shore up their strength and gain super-majorities in both the House and the Senate. Instead of directly delivering a decisive and clear message, they become content, arrogant and unresponsive to their base of supporters. Republicans also bring in strategists - different from those who were used in winning the election - who play a numbers game in an attempt to appease various ethnicities, races and philosophies that was not the winning platform of the previous election.
Also, interestingly enough, the evidence is there that those approaches were not helpful in all those other midterm elections that Republicans found their numbers dwindling on Capitol Hill.
Even though the Democrats have obviously shot themselves in the foot by electing Ms. Pelosi as House minority leader, the Republicans will not have the guts to stay on message and will shoot themselves in the foot even more. I doubt this is actually done on purpose, but it seems the law of mediocrity will ensure the strength of the two-party system by making sure both parties remain contenders. We, as common Americans, will see no real change in government as we look in awe at the theatrics played out in our governing chambers.

It Gets Better
Don't let shame keep you from recumbent cycling
Do you prefer to exercise from a reclined position but are too afraid to show the world? Then you are a closeted recumbent cyclist, and there are thousands like you. Don't be ashamed of your cycling preferences -- show the world! But in the meantime choose between these recumbent or upright stationary bikes to build up your confidence in the privacy of your own home.
It gets better. You may gaze enviously at middle-aged recumbent cyclists as they pass you on the bike trail and try to push those feelings deep, deep inside yourself -- but that way lies emotional ruin. You must embrace who you are, and make the world accept YOUR proclivities.
Start by celebrating your fitness preferences in the privacy of your basement. Then move it up to the first floor where someone might see you. And finally, take it out to your front yard to tell your neighbors "Yes, I'm a recumbent bicyclist, and I'm PROUD."
Perhaps you were raised in a household that shamed you for your desire to cycle in general, and you need to start with the upright bike. That's fine -- just do whatever it takes to get you past your shame. Riding a bike is a perfectly healthy, normal thing to do. It's the unicyclists that are the depraved hedonists.

Ubuntu developer builds Pirate Bay torrent search into operating system
Torrent search would be added to Ubuntu's Dash, a central tool that lets users search files and applications on their desktop as well as online sources like Amazon or Wikipedia. The search tool prototype uses the Pirate Bay as a data source. It may be modified to filter out pirated content, but users can change the filters to suit their desires. It's also possible that a future version could use a different data source.
