Body image is often a
major concern for women, and during pregnancy this can become even more
After spending a lifetime
trying to keep the numbers on the scale down, sometimes making peace with new higher
numbers and new curves can be a challenge. NBC29 spoke with some experts about
how to handle these natural changes.
It's hard to escape the
way women are scrutinized for their size, even when their bodies are doing a
very specific and important job - supporting a growing baby.
"It's kind of sad to me to
think you know here is this beautiful natural process, and we're imposing all
of this judgment and sort of making these demands that are sort of unrealistic,"
said Kate Bruno, a registered dietician and eating disorder expert.
Bruno says it's not
unusual when body image problems persist during pregnancy.
"A lot of times, women who
struggle with their body image at any time including during pregnancy, feel
like they need to control their body, or change their body to feel better about
it, but the truth is, you really need to change the way you think about it,"
Bruno said.
Simply changing a mindset
is tough, especially for women who have struggled to get the numbers on the
scale to go down. Gaining is part of the natural process of pregnancy but
stressing about the changes isn't doing you or your growing baby any good.
"I think if you've
struggled with it your whole life, it actually makes sense to prioritize
getting some help with it, especially during pregnancy for a couple reasons,
one is the stress that your experience actually has some pretty negative implications
on your growing baby," Bruno said.
Dana Holler is the founder
of the Image Coach of Charlottesville. She says improving that mindset could
come down to taking care of yourself both emotionally and physically.
"It's important to look
and feel your best, and just because your body is going through changes,
doesn't mean that you don't deserve some sort of pampering," Holler said.
And Holler's main
maternity rule for looking and feeling your best? Find clothes that fit.
"Many women try to fit
into their normal clothes, or normal clothes in larger sizes, and that doesn't
really work. Especially in the third trimester you really need to shop for
maternity clothes because they are just tailored differently than normal
clothes, so you'll have plenty of room for your bump and still look great,"
Holler said.
Both women agree: it's
normal to be frustrated about your changing body and growing waistline. Whether
you turn to a family member, friend or professional, it's always OK to ask for
And always remember: if
body image issues are putting the health of your baby in danger get help
immediately. Deliberate calorie restrictions, purging, or over-exercising to
avoid weight gain are some examples of behaviors that could lead to major
problems for both mom and baby.

This is a great lightweight spring trench from Tommy. I love this coat- it is perfect for travel, easy to wear, lightweight, water resistant. this is really a true spring trench perfect for light rain and windy mornings. The styling is true to the brand, classic and slightly preppy. for the price (which is at least half the price of the coat in department stores) you can't go wrong!~
I am a 105 lbs, 5 2' tall. I got the XS size , but surprisingly it is so loose when I wear it. The coat is heavy . I have been looking for a trench coat for couple of months now , but I am going to return this . Search continues...

tiny poppy seed 'taschen
My track record with hamantaschen — those three-cornered filled cookies traditionally limited to Purim, but shouldn't be, because did I mention that they're cookies? And you can fill them with whatever you want? — is abysmal. I can't seem to find a recipe that allows them to be as fragrant, buttery, delicate and delicious as I believe they were meant to be that does not completely fall apart once baked. I suspect my insistence on finding my hamantaschen nirvana in a cream cheese-based dough — cream cheese, although tangy and delicious, seems to just flop down and laze about like a kitten in the sun once it hits the oven — plays a part although, given, my sealing technique also "leaves a lot to be desired". The first year I attempted a recipe on this site, they puffed and pancaked open in the oven. The second year was no better. The third and fourth year, I didn't even bother.
But this year, I spied a recipe in Wednesday's New York Times that although cream cheese-free, gave me hope. Plus, I've head so much about traditional poppy seed fillings, but confess that I have no experience with them. The fact that this called for one from scratch (as in, not "open a can of poppy seed filling") delighted me and the cookie, with its egg yolks and butter, seemed to carry all the marks of a great sweet tart crust-ish/sable-like cookie dough.

Winner of the African American Literary Award for Fiction, Essence® best-selling author Victoria Christopher Murray delivers a cautionary tale about debt and the dangers of an overly tempting offer. Married at 17, Adam and Evia Langston have worked their way up from rags to riches. But as they are enjoying all the trappings of their success, a financial downturn leaves them teetering on the brink of disaster. And that's when Evia's boss makes the Langstons a fivemillion dollar offer they can't refuse.

"The Girl is GUUUUUD - {{{{VCM}}} - MUST READ!"
If you don't get this book you are truly missing out. First of all, how in the world are you going to proposition me about mine - The audacity. In life there are choices and stands you have to make, this work of fiction takes your mind places where on the outside looking in you know exactly what your response would be to these things, but not so much if you are in the mix. This book is awesome. JUST GET IT and thank me later.
"Great Story!"
I loved the story about Adam & Evia which I found out their names had a symbolic meaning. Although Evia's actions really started grating my nerves after a while...the old saying "be careful what you wish for" definitely applies. I also enjoyed the way the author "snuck in" a moral to the story - very clever. It would be nice if there was a continuation or part 2.
Tell us about yourself! USPS, mail carrier walking all day, audio books really make my day seems shorter
the end of the story was VERY surprising, without giving to much info, I really did not expect one of the main female characters to be who she was. who the heck would have thought of such an ending!
how glamorous the couples life was, beautiful children, great girlfriends,love of their faith then BOOM, the real story begins........
excitement, her voice made the story believable, til u get to the end, then BOOM!
this was a great book, as a mail carrier walking all day gets kinda boring, (right). the characters, had my lil mind constantly in a state of OMG. walking down the streets damn near talking to myself, rewinding my ipod to see if I heard her rite or did she say what I thought she said??? It took me 3 days to listen to since i only listen to my books when i'm working, makes the day shorter. I was pleased. kudo's to the author, and narrator.
"Interesting Idea"
I thought the performance and narration were really well done. I like the point that the story made overall about what is important in life and what is fleeting.
I liked how the author showed the day to day reality that today's economy can have on a family. I didn't like the "subtle"clues about Shay Shante's true identity, that definitely made parts of the story very corny. I also didn't like how the story was so drawn out in moments such as the countdown portion, you know what's going to happen so I wanted to get to it. The entire story takes place over a 30 day period so the auditor definitely packed in alot of detail into those days, maybe too much.
I liked the scene at the end of the book, because it was slightly eerie and unusual to hear Shay Shante in that context.
I could definitely see this as a movie because it is very compelling for today's economy. I think a Lynn Whitfield type could definitely play Shay Shante, she is the most compelling character. And it would be really cool to see flashback scenes of the weekend, after it happens.
I used to whistle while I worked. Now I read a book!
"For the love of money"
Wow, this was a good one! Great pacing, good action, funny and just enough passion. It really made me think, too. What does a person sacrifice to
No spoiler..but by the middle or at least 3/4s of the way in its pretty obvious. But its still fun to see how far down she's gonna take them.
No one favorite scene. But I could really sympathize with Evia the night she sent Adam to Sasha. That was tough.
I would take both Adam and Evia out, to give them both a wake-up smack. lol
Just get this book. It had a spiritual message without being the least bit preacy. And a great storyline that had me shaking my head and laughing out loud.
"The Deal, the Dance, and the Devil"
Wow this book makes you think about your morals. And it really makes you think twice about the people you come in contact with!
"African American version of Indecent Proposal"
If the names were changed...and if they would have not taken the offer.
Love her
This is a great read for people of faith; or people who THINK they are people of faith. It makes you examine what you truly believe. Belief is easy when life is good; but when thinks go wrong in your life, how strong is your faith then?????
I love to read and I love to listen to a good story!
"Excellent read"
I enjoyed the story.
Not sure
I liked them all
No extreme reaction, but I was not surprised at the ending.....
"Mouth Left Wide Open !!!"
I would definitely recommend this book because it was a very good read. This was my very first audiobook and I am hooked for life.
I can't answer this one.
The twins birthday party.
Shay Shantay because it would be fun people watching with her and it would be equally interesting to hear her conversation concerning her dislike of other people. She's such a schemer and so sure of herself, it makes me want to slap her.

Long Island prosecutors have charged the parents of a 17-year-old teen responsible for the high-speed car crash that killed four of his friends.
Prosecutors say Aaditia and Patricia Beer of Queens allowed their son Joseph to drive their 2012 Subaru on October 8 even though he only had a learner's permit.
Joseph Beer, who was in court Friday, was high on marijuana and going more than 110 mph on the Southern State Parkway when he lost control and crashed into the woods around 4:00 a.m.
The Richmond Hills High School student was the only survivor while his passengers - Chris Khan, Peter Kanhai and Darian Ramnarine, all 18, and Neal Rajapa, 17 - were killed in the crash. All of the passengers were flung from the car. Joseph was taken to a hospital for minor injuries.
Aaditia and Patricia Beer were charged with unlicensed operation of a vehicle and face up to 15 days in jail and a $300 fine.
Joseph Beer faces 25 years in prison for aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, four counts of manslaughter, driving under the influence, and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Supreme Court Justice David Ayres kept Beer handcuffed during his appearance and doubled the bail requested by prosecutors to $1 million cash or $2 million bond.

Welcome to Libdata -
Time/Print/Waiting List Management for Public Access Computers
NOTICE:: MAC and LINUX Versions are now available...
Please Visit our New Help Desk...
Time Management
Tired of having to ask your patrons to leave when their time is up? Allow Libdata to do this for you. Our time manager will enforce your computer session/day rules. It will do it without your intervention - allowing you to be more of a helper than an enforcer.
Print Management
Libdata's print manager will insure all printed pages are paid for. It will usually pay for itself in the first year. It will notify the patron of the number of pages about to be printed and how much it will cost.- allowing them to cancel the print job. We have a number of print payment options - you can decide which option best fits your environment.
Waiting List Management
Our waiting list manager will eliminate the need to manually keep a paper list of names and allow your patrons to see where they are in the list. They will be notified when their computer is available and only that patron can log into the assigned computer. It will also reduce the time of any patron who has been on the computer longer than a full session - to allow the waiting patron quicker access. It works without your intervention - again freeing you to help instead of enforce.

Official: Pell Grant Reform Could Hurt Mississippi StudentsBy Daniel Cherry | Published 21 Jun 2012 07:25pm |
Congress is debating portions of higher education spending and Mississippi education officials think students here could be on the losing end. MPB's Daniel Cherry has more on why that has stakeholders worried.
Democrats and Republicans are battling on Capitol Hill over federal financial aid spending. One proposed cost-saving measure would restrict how federal Pell Grants are used. Dr. Hank Bounds, Mississippi's Institutions of Higher Learning Commissioner, says that's going to hurt some Mississippi students.
"Pell is intended for students that come from a poorer background. And obviously we know that those students typically arrive less prepared, and so it would seem that would be counterproductive to the ability of our nation to produce better-educated citizenry."
Dr. Bounds says the plan would restrict students from using federal Pell Grants on remedial courses. Zavien Magee, a Political Science major at Jackson State University thinks some students will be priced out.
"I think that's horrible because when I first came to the University, I had to take remedial courses and I'm the SGA Vice President now. So that's basically discouraging students from going to school."
For those like BJ Moncure the Financial Aid Director at JSU, the goal is to follow the law, and help as many students as possible.
"We just have to make sure that the students have the available resources, whether it's through the state, federal or private sources, whatever it takes. We want to make sure that our students are able to go to school."
Over the coming days, lawmakers will also consider whether to increase spending to keep student loan interest rates low. Without more funding before July 1st, the rate will jump from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on new loans. Daniel Cherry...MPB News.

GM's exit may signal challenges for Facebook
It remains to be seen whether the social network's efforts to drive user engagement will lead to ad sales.
If other advertisers do the same, it may signal challenges for Facebook's ad revenue growth. Currently, text and display advertising is the social network's most profitable and primary business.
Unlike Google's AdWords system, which has a proven value proposition for advertisers, replete with detailed analytics and suggestions to improve ROI, Facebook's advertising system is still a work in progress. However, social advertising may become as lucrative a market as search advertising, or even surpass it in terms of the overall global market size in the coming years, if social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter are able to demonstrate value to advertisers in terms of ROI.
GM spent nearly $10 million on Facebook advertising last year, which is just a drop in the bucket compared with Facebook's overall ad revenue. GM's departure won't hurt Facebook much. But if this move signals the beginning of a trend and many more advertisers leave Facebook, it could lead to a significant decline in ad revenue growth, which has already slowed considerably, following a hockey-stick growth trajectory.
GM will continue to maintain its pages and online presence on Facebook, but that won't earn Facebook any revenue. Facebook offers brands a chance to increase the reach of their fan pages through advertising, increasing engagement on its platform. While Facebook does offer the highest engagement levels compared with any other online property, whether or not that engagement converts into significant sales to justify increased ad spending by brands on its platform is yet to be seen.
Facebook is the largest social network in the world, with more than 900 million monthly active users. It competes primarily with much smaller competitors like Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn (LNKD) and Pinterest, and with Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo (YHOO) for online advertising dollars. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
More from Trefis
Facebook, the worst security and best way to let your computer become hacked and controlled by others.
Facebook has no real value, does not really produce anything. People can live without it.
GM is smart to stop wasting marketing dollars here and continue to focus on bringing out better products and actually market to people who work.
Zuckerberg and his co founder should not be exempted from paying taxes. These two gazillionaires need to pony up and pay up.
His co-founder moved to Singapore to avoid paying taxes on his billions.
Facebook is a joke and they invade your privacy by recording your messages and mouse clicks.
It is a poor attempt at communicating.

The 2014 conference—hosted in partnership with Urban Land Institute Northwest and NAIOP: Commercial Real Estate and Development Association—was a huge success! King County Executive Dow Constantine kicked off the morning with his thoughtful remarks on the strengths behind King County's growing economy. In addition to four outstanding and insightful economic forecasts for the coming year, the nearly 800 attendees got an in-depth look at the opportunities and challenges for our region's real estate industry.
Following lunchtime remarks by Mayor Ed Murray and a video message from Senator Patty Murray, the Puget Sound Business Journal Executive of the Year Award was presented to John McAdam, F5 Networks. David Allen of McKinstry and current EDC Board Chair also presented the EDC's Economic Development Champion Awards to John Schoettler of Amazon and Tay Yoshitani of the Port of Seattle. The keynote discussion entitled "Real Impact | Real Estate: A Key Economic Driver for the Region in 2014," followed the award presentations and featured a conversation hour moderated by KIRO-7's Essex Porter with representatives from Sabey Corporation, the University of Washington, Wallace Properties, Wright Runstad & Company and the Seattle Waterfront project.

HOUSTON -- Kevin Martin had 17 points to help the Houston Rockets beat the New Orleans Hornets 95-75 in a preseason game Friday night.
Omer Asik had 15 rebounds for the Rockets (2-0) and Donatas Montiejunas added 13 points, Toney Douglas scored 11, Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson each had 10 points.
Al-Farouq Aminu led the Hornets (3-1) with 15 points and Robin Lopez added 11 points and eight rebounds. Greivis Vasquez and Darius Miller each had 10 points and Austin Rivers added seven points. First overall pick Anthony Davis did not dress.
Jeremy Lin put the Rockets up 15 at 64-49 with two free throws with 4:32 left in the third after being fouled hard by Lopez on a drive to the basket. The foul was initially ruled a flagrant but turned to a regular foul after the officials reviewed the play.
Lin was subbed out of the game shortly thereafter with nine points on 2 of 6 shooting and seven assists in 23 minutes.
Houston used a 9-2 run before the half to take a 48-41 lead at halftime capped by Parsons' dunk. The Rockets outscored the Hornets 22-10 in the third quarter to up the lead to 70-51. Martin led the Rockets with eight points in the quarter, including two three-pointers.

A Liberal Democrat peer called on Chancellor George Osborne to implement the party's mansion tax proposal, saying: "Go for our mansion tax and I promise I won't attack you for selective moral outrage."
Lord Oakeshott told party members at their autumn conference in Brighton that the mansion tax plan was the Lib Dem "big bazooka" which would tackle the "inequality which stains the face of Britain".
Under the proposal an annual mansion tax would be charged at 1% a year on the amount of the excess value of any residential property over £2 million.
He said: "There's only one way to tax the wealthy tax dodgers, non-doms, non-residents, rich Britons who hide their wealth in trusts or tax havens, tax the mansions they can't sneak offshore."
The tax, he added, would target one in 200 properties, heavily concentrated in the richest parts of London which were fast becoming "islands of opulence cut off from the rest of the country".
It could raise £2.5 billion following the "explosion" in property prices in central London.
Hitting out at his Coalition partners, Lord Oakeshott said: "Our Conservative colleagues in Government say tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance are repugnant - fine words, but only of course if you are Jimmy Carr, not if you're a big Tory donor."
He added: "We got close to getting our mansion tax through in last year's Budget, so I'm offering you a deal for this year, George. Go for our mansion tax and I promise I won't attack you for selective moral outrage.
"Like saying tax dodging is morally repugnant unless you bung the Tories £50,000."
The proposal was backed by Lib Dem members as an additional amendment to its agreed motion on tackling inequality at its roots which proposes the introduction of a capabilities index and a life chances indicator to measure the obstacles that inequality creates.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A nine-year-old boy from Madison has become the youngest in the nation to reach the official rank of "chess master."
Awonder Liang earned master status – exceeding 2,200 career points – while competing at a tournament over the weekend in Dayton Ohio.
The U.S. Chess Federation has certified the accomplishments. Awonder, a 4th-grader, is a week younger than a California boy who became the country's youngest chess master in 2010.
According to the federation, master status points are achieved most quickly by defeating better opponents.
The group says Liang is currently the 10th-best overall chess player in Wisconsin.

The new Archbishop of Glasgow has been formally installed at an inaugural mass in the city.
Philip Tartaglia, 61, the former Bishop of Paisley, takes over from Archbishop Mario Conti, who is retiring after 10 years in the post.
A ceremony was held at St Andrew's Cathedral this morning, where a letter from Pope Benedict XVI was read out formally appointing the new archbishop.
Archbishop Tartaglia said it was "an honour" be appointed in his home city and home diocese.
At the mass, which was attended by more than 600 people, he was presented with the Crozier of St Mungo before being greeted by representatives of the clergy.
Archbishop Tartaglia has recently come to the fore over the same-sex marriage debate, clashing with the Scottish Government over its proposals to allow gay couples to marry in religious ceremonies.
He previously sent a strongly-worded submission to the First Minister and said governments "do not have the authority to say what marriage is or to change its nature or to decree that people of the same sex can marry".

Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century
U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy Releases its Final Report through NTIS
Price: $80
(Price outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico $160)
Order number: PB2005101629
Media type: Technical Document
It has been thirty-five years since this nation's management of the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes was comprehensively reviewed. In that time, significant changes have occurred in how we use marine assets and in our understanding of the consequences of our actions. A new report from the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, titled An Ocean Blueprint for the 21st Century, contains findings and final recommendations for a new national ocean policy that ensures sustainable use and protection of our oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes for today and far into the future.
The value of the oceans and coasts to the nation is immense and their full potential remains unrealized. Over half the U.S. population lives in coastal watershed counties and roughly one-half of the nation s gross domestic product ($4.5 trillion in 2000) is generated in those counties and in adjacent ocean waters.
The 672-page report is presented in ten parts which address all aspects of coastal and ocean policy. The book also includes a CD-ROM featuring seven supplementary documents, such as comments on the Commission s preliminary report from 37 U.S. Governors; an evaluation of the U.S. investment in academic ocean sciences research and education; an assessment of existing and planned facilities associated with ocean and coastal activities; a review of three decades of ocean and coastal law; and highlights from testimony presented at the Commission s public meetings.
The book also includes a DVD video with an 11-minute summary of the commission's findings and recommendations and a 37-minute video recounting the history of U.S. ocean policy, which highlights the commission's work.

A VDR has been mandatory since 2002. So why not make the most of it? Our development engineers turned a simple data collector and storage device into a smart data provider for third parties and a real-time monitor with off-track alarm on board and ashore. Detection of non-conformity between the real-time position and the corridor data will alert those in charge such as the DPA (Designated Person Ashore). The corridor tracking tool enables you to plan safe voyages and receive notifications in critical situations. For passage planning, a corridor within which the vessel is permitted to sail can be defined for the whole route. If the ship leaves the corridor, the online monitor transmits an automated alarm. In addition, our VDR functions as a data provider for our Fleet Operation Center, providing more safety for your vessels. Important information about radars, alarms, the position on the electronic chart, engine data, conning display and helm data is available at given intervals.
The INTERSCHALT VDR is known to be one of the most reliable systems on the market. More than 4,000 commercial vessels sail with our VDR on board, which is one hundred percent developed and made in Germany. As a market and innovation leader, you also benefit from our lump-sum service packages, which cover four annual performance tests (APT) by our certified engineers over five years including repair and travel expenses. This makes the INTERSCHALT premium-VDR a very cost-efficient system over its lifecycle.
NEW: INTERSCHALT's next generation of the well-known VDR G4 system: INTERSCHALT VDR G4[e] – [e] stands for the enhanced version, fulfilling the latest IMO requirements that have come into force on July 1st, 2014. Retrofitting the VDR system with the INTERSCHALT G4[e] opens up a wealth of new technical possibilities, as the system is built on a modular and scalable basis.

Practical Advice Regarding Spiritual Teachers
When the spiritual seeker and the teacher come from different cultures, accommodations on both sides are required. But can guru devotion--essential to Tibetan Buddhism and one of the most problematic issues for Westerners--find its place in the West? This question becomes particularly thorny in the United States, where mistrust of authority is historically indigenous and confusion about "the guru" runs rampant. In his new book, Relating to a Spiritual Teacher: Building a Healthy Relationship (Snow Lion, 2000), Alexander Berzin, Buddhist scholar, translator, and practitioner, maps out this problematic territory with encyclopedic precision and offers practical advice. This excerpt has been adapted from several different chapters for Tricycle.
Transforming Negative Circumstances into Positive Ones
Another aspect of seeing mentors as Buddhas is to take all their actions as teachings, even if some actions are, in fact, faulty or destructive. Thus, in establishing a close bond with a spiritual mentor, specifically with a tantric master, we agree to refrain from becoming angry or disrespectful of our teacher, regardless of what he or she may say or do. Even if our mentor acts unethically or causes harm, we try to learn a lesson from it. The lesson may simply be to restrain from acting destructively like this ourselves.
Learning a lesson from the faulty behavior of one's mentor does not mean denying that the behavior was faulty. If we find the fault unbearable, we may follow the advice of The Kalachakra Tantra and decide to keep a distance from the teacher. Nevertheless, a healthy attitude is to maintain respect for the person's good qualities.
Beyond Good and Bad
Many Kagyu and Nyingma texts discuss a tantric or Dzogchen master's behavior as beyond good or bad. They are not speaking, however, about what an action, such as abuse, conventionally is, or what effects such an action produces. Buddhism does not relativize everything to the point that all phenomena lose their conventional identity. Abusive behavior damages both the perpetrator and the victim. Beyond good or bad means that, from a Buddha's point of view, all actions are beyond the dualistic categories of independently good or bad. It is not a denial of cause and effect. Otherwise, a Buddha's enlightening actions could not benefit anyone.
Properly qualified tantric or Dzogchen masters, then, would always refrain from abusive behavior. Especially if they are in the public eye, they would also refrain from acting in conventionally destructive ways so that no one would lose faith in Buddhism. In fact, such teachers promise to uphold this guideline as one of their secondary bodhichitta vows.
Thus, the practice of seeing one's tantric mentor as a Buddha in no way negates the conventional validity of appearances. An appearance of an abusive spiritual mentor as having inherent flaws is ultimately invalid because inherent existence, independent of anything, is impossible. No one is inherently bad. Nevertheless, the appearance may be conventionally valid concerning the fact that the behavior of the abusive teacher has caused suffering. All Tibetan traditions accept a valid distinction between accurate and distorted conventional truths.
Self-Destructive Actions Regarding a Spiritual Mentor
Sometimes there are disastrous self-destructive actions regarding a spiritual teacher, and they fall into three categories. The first is building a relationship with a misleading teacher. Second is disbelieving the good qualities that a mentor actually has and thinking with a distorted, antagonistic attitude about them. The third is relating distortedly with a properly qualified mentor, a violation of the first root tantric vow to avoid scorning or deriding one's tantric master.
A misleading teacher is someone ruled by disturbing emotions, such as attachment, anger, or naïvete; who pretends to have qualities that he or she lacks; and who hides actual shortcomings. Moreover, such a person has a weak sense of ethics, teaches only for personal gain, and gives incorrect information and instruction. Naïve spiritual seekers may incorrectly consider some of the person's faults as assets and ascribe good qualities that he or she lacks. Consequently, they build a distorted relationship that is based on deception.
Thinking with a distorted, antagonistic attitude is one of the ten fundamentally destructive actions described in Buddhism. It means to deny or repudiate what is true about someone or something and entails planning to spread one's prejudiced opinion to others. Here, it refers to denying or repudiating the good qualities that a spiritual mentor actually has and planning to spread false information about the person. This destructive way of thinking, then, goes far beyond merely disbelieving a mentor's good qualities.
Although devotion is an improper translation of tenpa - the Tibetan word for building a healthy, trustful relationship with a spiritual mentor - nevertheless, the Western phenomenon of devotion often occurs in the relationship. Devotion is a complex emotion, but one of its aspects is the uplifting feeling derived from a loss of self in awe of something greater.
In its classical form, devotion occurs with a leap of faith. This form of devotion sometimes brings problems, because devotees may project the entire unconscious side of their personality.
If Western disciples project as a shadow an unknowable unconscious onto a mentor and lose themselves in adoration and awe, the result may be a serious block to a healthy relationship. One may lose all sense of a conventional "me" and become dependent on an idolized mentor whom one can only worship and adore. Moreover, viewing the mentor's qualities and actions as an unknowable mystery - beyond all thought, conception, words, and sense of good or bad - may open one to possible abuse.
Showing Respect to a Western Spiritual Teacher
The procedures of guru-meditation apply equally to Tibetan and Western spiritual teachers. However, the manner of showing respect to the teacher may need to differ. General customs of politeness, such as being quiet and attentive when a teacher enters the classroom, suit any society. However, certain ritual Asian forms of showing respect, such as making prostrations, may be uncomfortable.
A sincere expression of respect needs to arise naturally. A mentor needs to let Western disciples express their respect in their own way and to learn to read the language that the disciples use. Most Westerners value freedom of choice. To express their respect in an emotionally comfortable manner, they need a choice of acknowledged ways that do not make them feel like a fool or like a shallow imitator of foreign ways.
In Summary
The tantras unanimously agree that the inspiration gained from a healthy disciple-mentor relationship is a source of true joy and spiritual attainment. However, when misunderstood and mixed with confusion, the relationship becomes unhealthy and may give rise to spiritual devastation and emotional pain. Misunderstanding may occur on the side of the disciple, the mentor, or both; and cultural factors may often add to the confusion.
Many people, disillusioned or outraged at failures in the disciple-mentor relationship in the West, have called for a serious revision. Revision, however, does not require overturning tradition and inventing something entirely new. Revision may come from clearing away confusion about Buddha's teachings and about the cultural factors unconsciously affecting the thought and behavior of each party in the relationship. When Westerners are involved, imprecise or misleading translation terms frequently worsen the confusion. To build healthy disciple-mentor relationships and to heal the wounds that may have occurred from unhealthy ones, a rectification of names, together with cultural sensitivity, may help to bring emotional clarity.
Alexander Berzin received a doctorate in Buddhist Studies at Harvard University in 1972 and has studied with masters from all four Tibetan lineages. For twenty-nine years, he lived with the Tibetan refugee community in India, working under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, principally as a Dharma translator. He has been a Dharma teacher since 1982. His most recent books includeTaking the Kalachakra Initiation and Developing Balanced Sensitivity (both published by Snow Lion). He currently lives and teaches in Berlin, Germany.

This is a very subtle article and I am very grateful for its having been posted.
This passage is a meditation unto itself:
"Thus, the practice of seeing one's tantric mentor as a Buddha in no way negates the conventional validity of appearances. An appearance of an abusive spiritual mentor as having inherent flaws is ultimately invalid because inherent existence, independent of anything, is impossible. No one is inherently bad. Nevertheless, the appearance may be conventionally valid concerning the fact that the behavior of the abusive teacher has caused suffering. All Tibetan traditions accept a valid distinction between accurate and distorted conventional truths."
A black-and-white attitude is easy to adopt in the face of distorted conventional boundaries especially when they have been transgressed by the teacher. However, given that nothing is absolute, and that seeing into this is such an important part of practice, such an attitude does not in the end help either teacher or student cultivate an open heart. On the contrary, it tends to moralism and legalism.
Sometimes silence is the only way to contain all of the ambiguities beyond good and evil and, in this silence, to find the spaciousness to embrace with love the one who has "turned the seeker's heart and mind" to the Dharma.

NEWPORT NEWS—A grinch took a little girl's gifts from under the tree, but Newport News police wouldn't let the scrooge steal her Christmas spirit.
Friday night, police say crooks broke into Jaquita Stephenson's home, and stole all the presents.
"It was four days before Christmas. They could have taken the TV, but why did they have to mess with the Christmas tree?"
Stephenson is a single mother. She explained she worked hard to buy presents for her seven-year-old daughter. Newport News police started investigating, but took things a step further, "No one wants to see a kid ever lose their Christmas, or not have a Christmas."
Officer Ramon Quinones worked to collect donations from other officers. Soon local businesses also gave money. More than $1,500 came in to help buy all new presents for Stephenson. "This shows there are good people out here to help me. My daughter is still going to have a good Christmas."

Bureau's Sugar House of Old Lyme, Connecticut. Don Bureau started making maple syrup in the spring of 1993 with 300 maple tree taps. Over the last twenty years that number has grown to over 700 taps in Connecticut.
In 1999, after years of creating syrups and a range of maple sugar sweets, Don started producing kettle korn. He was the first in the world to sweeten it using his own local maple syrup instead of caramels or cane sugar. Most producers use brown sugars to get the color kettle korn is famous for; but Don has been using pure maple syrup since day one.
Don uses a blend of several grades of syrup to get the perfect maple flavor in the coating, and it's one that we just can't get enough of.
Pictured above you can see the maple syrup crystalizing onto the wooden paddle used to stir each batch.
Sometimes it's easy to forget we have such awesome things in CT.

Home Improvement
You'd think that grunting like an ape would be a weird premise for a television show…but Tim Allen's grunting is a whole different ballgame. Home Improvement is based on Tim's stand-up routine that discusses the differences between men and women, and their outlooks on life. (Here's a hint - men need more power!) The routine was so funny that executives at Disney thought a family-based comedy might be able to explore that on a weekly basis. Home Improvement was born.
The Taylor family is fairly typical - Jill, Tim and sons Brad, Randy and Mark. But typical is never in season when Tim's around. As host of his own TV show called "Tool Time," Tim's always good for a mishap or two and seems to spend more time in the emergency room than on the set. He is ably helped out by right-hand-man Al Borland and gets his advice from neighbor Wilson. Over the years, viewers get to see the boys grow up, watch Tim blow up practically every part of his house and sympathize with Jill - but we never see Wilson's face as it's usually hidden behind a fence, bush or door. (For you rabid Home Improvement fans, there is one time that Wilson is on-air in all his full-faced glory - the series finale!).
The Taylor boys became teen heartthrobs in their years on Home Improvement. Patricia Richardson and Tim Allen have both moved on to successful movie careers. But what's the one thing most every man loves about Home Improvement? Well, that would be the Tool Time Girls - the launchpad of Pamela Anderson and Debbe Dunning. Regardless of why (or who) you watch, Home Improvement is a great mirror, allowing families to laugh at life's daily craziness.
So batten down the hatches, line up the bandages, and tune in to Home Improvement. It'll keep you in stitches (and Tim already has stitches, so…) Catch Home Improvement weekdays on TBS.

Like Finland, Poland is home to a thriving metal scene. Bands like Vader and Behometh garner much critical acclaim by stateside critics. However, the Polish music scene doesn't entirely consist of down-tuned distortion. Alt-rockers Myslovitz are frequently hailed as the "Polish Radiohead" while The Car is on Fire is getting a lot of buzz in the indie pop world. In case you're curious about the Polish music scene, here's a smattering of resident OurStage polskies to listen to while you nibble down on some kiełbasa.
Polish folk music scholar and multi-instrumentalist Jarek Adamów gave traditional Polish folk a modern twist on his 2008 release Contemporary Polish Village Music. Enlisting the help of guitarist Paweł Brzozowski, Adamów's post-rock treatment of Polish classics could find a new home with fans of Mogwai and Pelican.
Zico (a.k.a. Łukasz Zyśk) is an electronic musician hailing from Wroclaw. Last year he released his debut Neverending Story EP on Summer Rain Recordings, a socially conscious record label that donates a percentage of all royalties to charity. Zico's trip-hop influenced instrumental "Hope" is the perfect soundtrack for a long walk in the rain.
In case you were just thinking "you know I haven't really listened to much acid jazz lately," Cmy are here to save the day. Cmy is a producer/DJ duo comprised of Yaro (a.k.a. Milton Waukee) and DJ George (a.k.a. Jorge Saxon). Together the two loop classic jazz and funk instrumentals to create their own unique brand of grooves.
Metal Man Munson favorite Chain Reaction are staples of the Hard Rock and Metal Channels. The band's tight rhythm section shows no signs of slowing down any time soon on their track "Values." This band has more double pedal bass drum action than you can pump a fist to.
Natalia Lesz's "Girls on Top" is vaguely reminiscent of late 90s pop classics by Britney Spears and Shakira. This Warsaw born
ballerina-turned-singer is a graduate of NYU's famous Tisch School of the Arts. With a debut album produced by Greg Wells (Celine Dion, Mika, One Republic, Katy Perry) and Glen Ballard (Celine Dion, No Doubt, Alanis Morisette, Annie Lenox, Shakira, Michael Jackson) Natalia is poised to win over her fair share of American fans.
