I just wanted to get laid0 Reviews
Everything changes when Amy follows Izzy to his room.
'Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with you, Izzy?'
I couldn't believe what just happened. I was talking to this cute guy Chris, when Izzy showed up and went all psycho on him. Chris was gone so fast I couldn't even ask for his phone number. Followed by Psycho-Izzy I hurried to the front door to see if he was still around.
Izzy grabbed my arm.
'What?' I yelled harshly and turned around.
'I'm sorry. I just thought…' Izzy gave me a little smile and my heart just skipped a beat. Fuck him.
'What, Izzy? What did you think? Why would you scare away the only guy I had fun talking to?' I was furious. 'You think I enjoy hanging out with bimbos al night just to see them screwing you guys and I will not get laid at all? Where is that coming from? Did Billy say something to you?'
For a moment he just stared at me. Then he turned to his room.
'Never mind. Sorry for interrupting.'
Oh boy. I wasn't going to let this go. He would need to deal with my anger right now. Like it or not.
I followed him, stopped the door from closing and slipped into the room. I slammed the door and sighed loud. My hands were shaking due to my anger and I clenched them into fists.
Izzy was standing right in front of me. His back turned to me. He wasn't moving.
'Turn the fuck around and look at me Izzy.' I yelled at him. 'Tell me what is going on. I'm really pissed. I am not going to let this go.'
He turned around slowly and as my eyes met his I saw them darken for a moment.
'Amy…I…' He whispered and let out a sigh. 'You should go and calm down.'
I blinked.
'You're kidding, right? Calm down? What is this Izzy?' With shaking hands I waved my finger between him and me. He just shrugged. 'Because I can't take this anymore, Izzy. Either you admit there's something here or you leave me the fuck alone.'
'Fuck!' He let out a groan. Then he took 2 steps toward me and pulled me into his arms. He covered my mouth with his. Still angry, my initial muffled protest died in my throat as he pressed me against the door and I felt his body against mine. My hands slid up his chest into his hair.
I couldn't think. This was all I ever wanted and it came rushing down on me in an instant. Was this a good idea? Was it a bad idea? As his hands moved from my face down to my hips and I felt his erection pressed against me, I didn't care about good or bad anymore. I just wanted him to fuck me.
I pushed at Izzy's shirt and slid my fingers across the velvet skin of his chest. He let go long enough to slip off his shirt and then he was back, covering my neck and shoulders with kisses.
'God. Amy. Wait… hold on.' He panted. As he pulled away I chuckled as I noticed that I was panting too. 'Can't believe I'm actually saying this.' He shook his head. 'I can't do this.'
He stepped back and turned around digging his fingers into his hair.
I felt like he slapped me right into my face. Didn't he want me? Was I really that delusional to see things that weren't there?
'What do you mean?' I managed to ask. My voice trembling.
He turned around and looked at me.
'I'm high as shit, Amy. I can't think straight.' He covered his face with his hands and let out a sigh. 'This is going to end real badly. I can't do this at the moment. I need to sober up first.'
I got over to him, gave him a small smile and touched his arm lightly.
'It's surely not the first time you'd have sex on drugs. So what?'
He sat down on his bed and dug through some stuff on the floor. Then he put a joint to his mouth and lit it. He looked at me seriously.
'Look, Amy. You don't know shit about me.' He took a deep toke, held his breath for a second and exhaled. 'I always fuck up. And this thing between us is creeping me out. I just need to figure out how to handle it.' He took another toke on his joint. 'And then there's Axl. He would be pissed, girl. And I'm not sure if this could ruin the band.'
My jaw dropped. 'You're really telling me you need to sober up to think straight? And then you'll sit down to have another joint?' I shook my head 'Is this you solving problems, Izzy? I can't fucking believe it.' I turned around and walked to the door. 'I just wanted to get laid, Izzy. And you're acting like this would mess up your whole world.'
'Like I said: you don't know shit about me.' I heard him mumble on my way out.

How To Take Care Of A Leopard Gecko
Who else wants to know how to take care of a leopard gecko? Caring for a leopard gecko is relatively simple and is a good project for younger children or classrooms. The unique personality of the gecko is the seed of healthy pet relationships which makes it a perfect addition to any adult home, as well. Geckos are quiet animals requiring low maintenance, inexpensive keep, and are small enough to store in the tiniest apartment.
An interesting feature of the leopard gecko is his tail which drops off when threatened. The tail of a healthy leopard gecko is quite pudgy, a storage unit for fat which the animal uses when the climate in his natural habitat brings times of little food supply. When others handle your gecko, you should warn them that the tail could drop if grabbed or pulled. The gecko uses this for defense; the disconnected tail continues to wriggle and flop in an attempt to distract the predator at hand giving the gecko plenty of escape time. If his tail drops off, don't panic for it will heal virtually on its own.
The gecko's home should be clean and functional. There's some controversy over what type of substrate (flooring) should be used, but most research suggests staying away from sand or other materials that are loose. Sand tends to be kicked up when the gecko "hunts" his prey and can be accidentally ingested causing impaction on the digestive system. Other materials such as cedar shavings or cat litter can shed toxic particles that can cause respiratory problems. Unprinted newspaper is the best choice and can be purchased cheaply at your local newspaper office.
Heat is extremely important in the care of your leopard gecko. There should be a warm side and a cool side in their cage. Geckos thermo-regulate their bodies from the outside in and keeping a steady temperature aids in their digestion and improves their immune system. You can heat the cage with a variety of techniques, but the best choice seems to be using an under tank heater (UTH) available through any reptile supply shop. Heat from the UTH goes directly onto the gecko's belly which is the best way for him to absorb heat. You can also use heat tape, hot rocks, or red incandescent lights. An ideal enclosure offers three temperature zones with a range from about 74 to 90 degrees.
Keeping your gecko nourished is easy; most of his nutrition will come from crickets. These insects are easy to obtain and cheap to keep. It's best not to give a gecko insects that are longer than its head. Feeder insects can include crickets, mealworms, superworms and a variety of other worms. Before your gecko is fed an insect, the insect must be "gut loaded" at least 24 hours before feeding time. The worm is fed with a nutritious food full of vitamins that varies according to the type of worm. This guarantees the highest level of nutrition to the gecko upon eating the worms.
Keep your gecko's cage clean and be sure he has water available at all times. Once you get a routine set up, you will be able to relax and enjoy your new friend.

[QUOTE=piney;4069407]part of the i snot that it is easier, but that our welfare system is a mess that needs to be cleaned up.
Case in point: I know someone who is a single mother with two kids, she had a job that did not pay all that well and so she received some aid from the state (WIC, things like that) when she was offered a pay raise and promotion at her job she would no longer qualify for that aid and in effect have less money that she would have if she kept the lower paying position and the gov't aid. She actually would have had a harder time making ends meet.
To me, that is a problem with the system, not someone just being lazy.[/QUOTE]
So then what is the answer? Once people are on any welfare type benefit they have to stay on for life? What is the proper income line that qualifies someone to get benefits? Maybe we should all get these benefits because my life would be better if I didn't have to pay for everything myself.

The difficult decision has been made. Tyrone Corbin won't return.
Now comes the really hard part for Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey: Finding the man who will lead the Jazz into the future.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Addressing the media on Monday, Lindsey wouldn't put a time frame on his coaching hire. He insisted he has yet to have a single conversation within the organization on who the next Jazz coach will be. But that won't stop the speculation.
Former University of Utah coach Jim Boylen has emerged as an early, potential candidate for the job. Boylen is currently the lead assistant for the San Antonio Spurs and is close to Lindsey, going back to their days together with the Houston Rockets. The two also share the same agent.
Another name that has surfaced is Phoenix Suns assistant Mike Longabardi, who is credited with turning the Suns into a credible team on the defensive end.
Other potentially available coaches include George Karl, Jeff Van Gundy, Lionel Hollins, Byron Scott and Stan Van Gundy.
Lindsey said his search will be wide open and thorough. He made it clear, however, that the new coach will be tasked with upgrading a defense that finished at or near the bottom of the NBA in almost all major categories.
Which way Lindsey will go? Will he hire a proven veteran like Hollins? Or will he go with a younger coach like Longabardi? Will he stay within the confines of the NBA? Or will he look at the college ranks for someone like Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg or Florida's Billy Donovan?
Those are some of the questions that need to be answered when Lindsey and the rest of the Jazz organization sit down and meet over the next few days. Once they figure out just what they are looking for, they can narrow the list of candidates down to a working group.
Lindsey has brought the Jazz franchise to a crossroads in letting Corbin go. His coaching hire could very well set the path of the organization for the next decade.

Bono's wife injured in fall
Bono's wife Ali Hewson has been airlifted to hospital in Costa Rica after falling off a quad bike.
Bono's wife has been airlifted to hospital.
Ali Hewson was vacationing with the U2 singer in Costa Rica when she reportedly fell from a quad bike on the beach and broke her ribs.
It has also been claimed the fashion designer broke a leg in the fall.
Bono, 53, and Ali, 52 - who married in 1982 and have four children together - have been staying near Cobano de Puntarenas, on the Pacific coast of the Central America country since February 11.
U2 - which also includes The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen - completed their 360 Degree tour, the highest grossing of all time, in 2011, and then took time off to rest and recuperate.
During this time Bono took his family on a round the world trip of the world's most spiritual regions and spent a great deal of time in Central America.
He previously said: ''Because I wasn't busy with the band we kind of went wandering. Once in a lifetime sort of stuff, places like Africa and Central America.
''We also went to Jordan and Israel and Peru. It was really great to have time off.''
The singer - whose real name is Paul Hewson - recently revealed U2 are working on their 13th studio album - with the working title '10 Reasons To Exist' - which will be their first release since 2009's 'No Line on the Horizon'.
He said: ''U2 have been back and they're really in fine fettle.
''They're mad for it at the moment and they really want to make a new record. And they don't care if it takes ten years - they don't care if it never happens again, they just want to get it right.
''Within the band we've been calling it '10 Reasons To Exist' - but I will tell you we might have at least six of them.''

The question lesbian and gay people need to answer is not "Why are transgender issues suddenly demanding so much attention?" but rather "Why have we abandoned transgender people and their concerns in our rush for equality?".
I wrote a thing. Even if you don't like my thing, please check out the mag anyway - it's an awesome place to publish (all kinds of) queer voices.
Trans* Men and the Erasure of Childhood Femininity
Gender identity is far more complex than what you wear or what hobbies you partake in. It is more complicated than how you wear your hair or the toys that you played with as a child. Many trans* men proudly proclaim that they never liked dresses, they always kept their hair short, they were a 'tom boy'. They keep anything 'feminine' close to their chest, secret and hidden lest someone clutch it and hold it aloft as 'proof' that they are not trans* enough.
This is my confession: in many ways, I was not a typically masculine child. My parents granted me the freedom to express myself without fear or judgement. I loved the Power Rangers and Polly Pocketequally. I had long, flowing blond hair and perpetually scabby knees. I dabbled in make-up, played dress-up and skateboarded too fast down steep hills like I had some kind of death wish.
These things are not what make me a man. Equally, they do not make me less of one.
The hardest part of coming out, for me, was not pronouns or family or work. It was the pressure to disconnect myself from certain aspects of my childhood, the person that I had once been (and still am, in many ways). To edit myself – talk about my eighth birthday and leave out the fairy castle cake, paint my experiences in blue rather than pink or purple. It was the sudden revelation that I could not talk about my first boyfriend, or any boyfriend, without it feeling somehow socially unacceptable, without someone double-taking or their smile freezing on their face.
I felt ashamed of the ballet class I took when I was five, the dress I wore to my prom, the snapshots on the walls that damned me for my 'girlhood'. Like somehow, if I was a 'real man', I wouldn't have or shouldn't have partaken in these things. I erased whole sections of my childhood, consciously locked them away and didn't talk about them for fear of being judged. Of being told I wasn't really trans*, that my interests or hobbies or the way I looked took away my credibility.
I would never tell a cis boy that he can't do ballet, or play with make-up, or dress up in pink. I would never tell him that those things mean he's not a 'real' boy. Yet I still felt the shame associated with that, and still judged myself by those arbitrary standards.
Many of us boast about hating dresses from an early age, or about wanting to be Spiderman for Halloween like that somehow validates our masculinity. Like we have to dress up our childhood as a stereotypical boyhood in order to be real, or to be taken seriously. But if we liked to knit, or our favourite colour was pink, or we went to prom in a dress, that's okay. It doesn't define us. We can talk about that without being less of a man. It doesn't make us fake, it doesn't invalidate our gender, and it isn't shameful.
We are not born knowing that the colour pink is for girls and that the colour blue is for boys. Gender isn't formed by what you wear, what you do, what you like or how you express yourself. Gender is what's inside you, and no one can define that but yourself. No matter what you looked like or how you expressed yourself as a child. My name is Michael, and I am a man who had a fairy castle cake for my eighth birthday. And I'm okay with that.
This is lovely, thank.
I like cross-stitching and sewing. When I was a kid I liked to dress up as knights and princesses. I also went to prom in a dress; it was beautiful; my mother made it for me. I always liked the idea of wearing a dress and looking pretty in it but when I would put one on I felt uncomfortable and wrong because people read me as a girl. I liked lego and knex and miniature cars but I also liked organizing the furniture in my dollhouse and I collected beanie babies. I hated sports and most of my friends growing up were girls.
I worked so hard to erase all those experiences when talking to medical professionals and it made me feel sick and disingenuous and I am done pretending that I was always 100% rough and masculine because that is a goddamn lie.
this is good and i like it. i gotta mention: i used to be one of those that rejected femininity. i was scared of it; scared that any 'feminine' thing about me will be used to discredit my identity. i felt this way long before i knew i was a man. and of course i was right! as hard as i tried, there was still plenty for people to pick at to try and disprove my maleness - that i cry sometimes, that i don't look in people's eyes when they speak to me, what i've slept with men.
because of ridiculous cis ideals of what a man should be, i spent so many years rejecting a vital part of myself to the point of being a huge gross misogynist.
my name is mihail and i threw out all the makeup relatives who didn't know me got for my birthdays when i was younger. i had a closet full of fashionable clothes that my parents spent a ridiculous amount of money on that i never wore, instead stealing my dad's shirts and my ex's pants. i waited twenty years before trying nail polish, even though i wanted to do it earlier. i missed out on many potential friends because i couldn't stand the thought of associating with women for years. i missed out on many potential partners because i refused to admit i was attracted to men.
much of this was done because of my dysphoria but it is not even close to an excuse for my misogyny, and the internalized homophobia that came from it.
i rejected anything society labeled as feminine and in doing that i hurt myself and i hurt others. so i'm done with that shit. i am making up for a wasted childhood. i love nailpolish and floral prints and cooking is cool and boys are cute when they're not awful and women are powerful and wonderful and awesome and i am so lucky to have them in my life. and that's more than ok. it's great.
lord jesus fuck, there are tears, this (OP and commentary) is kind of exactly what i needed to read today.
i was going to make some kind of heartfelt commentary but all i can muster is:
my name is Grim and i love dresses and flowers and i sure as hell get a fairy castle cake for my birthday some day.

And the living should consider today how to best honor our dead, how to be worthy of the lineage we have inherited.

Do you want to know something painfully sad? Something so pathetic and tragic that it irks me every time it happens? I'm totally weak to queer baiting. Like not just a little bit, but a TON…. Like if queer baiting is chum, I'm a shark that just HAS TO FUCKING BE THERE TO EAT IT ALL UP. And I'm not just talking Johnlock, Avengers, Deanstiel, and Sterek nonsense either. I'm talking nameless side characters that exist for the sheer purpose of an off color, erasive, and probably downright hurtful gay joke.
The other day, I'm watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch (I'm rewatching the entire series) and Sabrina helps Harvey out with something, and then while his back is turned she scampers away to do something else and one of his teammates sits down where Sabrina just was. Harvey turns to thank Sabrina with a kiss on the cheek and ends up kissing his teammate instead (OMG) the teammate looks up and asks "Hey, do you want to get a coffee sometime?" and Harvey just sort of smiles weakly and turns back around (with a laugh track playing in the background). I lost it, it was kind of adorable how the little nameless queer felt like that little accident could be something significant. But the point of the laugh track is to represent the general audience (and a dorky, love struck, lonely, queer boy is not general in this case) and the joke is that "LOL, that guy is queer for Harvey! LOOK AT HIS SILLY QUEER FEELS. THEY SO SILLY CAUSE HARVEY NOT QUEER." The joke isn't for us, it's about us.
This is what is the hardest thing about queer baiting. This shit has us so messed up we can't even identify when we are being made fun of. We are so desperate for attention and gratification and visibility we see any mention of queerness as something to be treasured regardless of the intention. We will read it into contexts when it may not even be a writer's intention in some desperate and depressing hunt for something real (sometimes more despicable writers will leave a trail of queer bread crumbs that lead to a big nasty nothing. Moffat basically is laughing at us as he walks to the bank, that bastard*.)
We do this shit in even in media where we are supposed to be the protagonists! "Will and Grace", in common discussion a "revolutionary" sitcom for the Gay Assimilationist Movement, is basically just one of these long running "Hey gays, aren't we silly and benign and so stupid?" We do it to ourselves as much as everyone else does.**
But I will keep consuming this media, because I'm so fucking lonely. Because I want to see something that makes me feel warm and fuzzy and not alone. I want to tell Harvey's teammate that I'll go to coffee with him. I want slash pairings to sometimes be the canon ones. I want to be reminded that I'm not alone by my media. But this is the best we can do in these mediums. Desperate queers pining for a love we just can't find. Because we are scared that if we aren't the butt of the joke, if we aren't just subtext, if we don't assimilate and accept the roles handed to us, that we won't be visible at all. I need the lie to survive the harshness of the reality I live in. That it is very possible I will end up alone. A lot of hetero folk talk about the "fairytale" that they were handed and they were disappointed wasn't real when they entered real life. Queer folks, particularly lonely Queer folks, have to write their own fairytales just to lessen the edge of the harsh reality that queer isolation isn't just possible, it's likely. It will happen tomorrow when I go into work, or the bar, or hang out with my friends. I will be constantly reminded that I'm alone in Queer town. Population me.
This is why queer baiting is so scathing and cruel. Because it kicks when we are down. It gives us a false hope. It's the lie we must tell ourselves to survive. But we can't ALWAYS believe the lie, and some days, like today are harder than others. Some days, queer baiting doesn't bother me at all. Some days I enjoy it even (omg a queer kiss/reference *squee!*) but other days, it cuts me deep. It reminds me that our representation isn't real and that we are just tools to bring "spice, sass, and excitement" to the lives of cis hetero folk. And that's true for real life, as well as media on many a day.
*The fact that Moffat wrote even one line of dialogue for Captain Jack Harkness (easily my fave queer character of all time) makes me sick to my stomach.
**Do not worry, I will be doing a post on the crappiness of "Gay" media in the near future.

Who else wants in? I want to make this a thing!
Reblog if you want us to come in your area (on the west coast) to talk about trans* and queer focused sex ed, normalizing consent and negotiation, navigating dysphoria, exploring what feels better in sex, ways to be intimate that aren't sexual, different kinds of relationships, deconstructing traditional relationship narratives, dealing with the cycle of abuse in our communities, the difference between intersex and trans* people, and any other questions that come up.
I am really grateful for how well the workshop went this weekend with people asking questions and sharing experiences. We were asked a lot of really good questions that showed where people need information and want to give the talk more so it can evolve and improve!
Please signal boost this, I really want it to be a thing!

You never get to use the word "tr*nny."
It's a controversial word even among trans people. Loads of trans people don't even like it when it's used even by other trans people.
So don't use it. Ever

here's to all the quiet queers.
all the queers who eat micro-agressions and secretly cry themselves to sleep.
the queers who dress the way their cis mothers told them to.
the queers who think about killing cis fucks every half hour, but never say a word more radical than "sorry."
the queers who sip tea at their friend's house while considering suicide, since that's just about all they can think about.
the queers who are living double lives.
the queers who put on makeup at 2 a.m. in a hand mirror, making sure to wipe it off before school the next morning.
the queers who go to work dead and come home to see the world.
the queers who fuck, and suck, and kiss with the same hands and lips they use to eat dinner with their well-meaning shitty-acting parents
the queers who are ugly to you, too fat for you, running from you with lips sewn shut
here's to the quiet queers, since it's about fucking time we stopped shaming them.

Why do some folks feel that transgender people need to disclose their history and their genitalia and non transgender people do not? When you first meet someone and they are clothed, you never know exactly what that person looks like. And when you first meet someone, you never know that person's full history. Why do only some people have to describe themselves in detail—and others do not? Why are some nondisclosures seen as actions and others utterly invisible? Actions. Gwen Araujo was being herself, openly and honestly. No, she did not wear a sign on her forehead that said "I am transgender, this is what my genitalia look like." But her killers didn't wear a sign on their foreheads saying, "We might look like nice high school boys, but really, we are transphobic and are planning to kill you." That would have been a helpful disclosure.

Hookbills are an informally defined as being in the parrot family. Generally referring to the shape of their beaks, most people think of parrots, macaws, cockatoos, greys as hookbills. Anything in size from a parakeet through a macaw, the one thing they have in common is the hooked like beak. These beaks are capable of tremendous strength, in order to crush the thick shells of nuts and seeds. (Also hurts much more to be bitten by a hookbill then a softbill.)

State officials are warning Ohio dog owners to keep an extra eye out for symptoms of a mysterious illness that has claimed the life of at least four dogs in the Buckeye state.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture said its Division of Animal Health has been taking reports of sick dogs and investigating.
Symptoms include vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weight loss and lethargy.
The illness has killed at least four dogs in Ohio so far including in Cincinnati and the Akron area.
Dr. Brian Jefferson works in the emergency room for MedVet, a 24-hour pet hospital in Worthington. Jefferson said his staff has seen an influx of calls from pet owners worried their dogs have the symptoms. However, Jefferson also said it is important to pay careful attention to your pet because the warning signs often mimic symptoms of other illnesses.
"So many other illnesses that we know cause these kinds of symptoms in dogs and because of that anytime your dog experiences illness the first thing you should do is just get to your veterinarian," Jefferson said.
The warning is something pet owners Geri and Duffy Jamieson said they will take to heart. The couple said that keeping their terrier Biggy healthy has always been a priority so they are frightened to hear about the mysterious illness.
"That's very scary to think. Especially since the symptoms are so innocuous. You would never think that your dog might die from some of those symptoms. So that's very troubling," Duffy Jamieson said.
While the illness remains a mystery state officials said they are working to identify the problem. But according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, a sample from one sick dog tested positive for canine circovirus. ODA said it is the first laboratory detection of that virus in Ohio.
Jefferson said circovirus has been known to be present in pigs but not dogs.
"That's important because it's a unique virus. It hasn't really been identified in veterinary patients before, at least not dogs. So they're really working to understand whether this virus is in fact a contributor or a sole cause of this illness," Jefferson said.
Veterinarians said that if your dog displays any of the warning symptoms immediately seek medical care.

Day 24
Hi! So I can't find anything to do with 24 and consumption… I thought i'd have a chat.
In enviro this week we've been doing stuff to do with successful social movements and game changers, and why they've been successful. Looks like the keys are:
- A critical mindset - are we going the right direction? Who is this affecting? How can this be done better? - Even in the midst of a successful movement, introspection is essential.
- Persistance - a social movement isn't going to be easy, or it probably would have already occurred! Not being intimidated by barriers and seeing opportunities.
- Seeing things as complex systems and acting accordingly.
Seems good! What i've picked up on is how spiritual movements are. People obviously dedicate their lives to a cause for more than passion - it's a calling. I want to see a revolutionising of consumption. I want to see and be part of the game changer in the way people use things. I think Buy Nothing New is a good step towards that.

Contentment in Everyday Life provides an exploration of genuine contentment, the foundational views of the Buddhist teachings, and meditation in action for daily life.
Through the gentle precision of meditation practice, we can learn to appreciate ourselves and simple human experiences, free from self-aggression. Difficult emotions and the challenges of life can be met with curiosity, steadiness, and humor.
Each class includes a guided meditation and/or contemplation, a short talk or teaching, and time for a discussion about how the material relates to daily life.
Prerequisite: NoneRecommended:Shambhala Weekend Retreat Levels I, II.
Please plan on attending each session of the program. The first and last classes are especially important.___________________________________________________________________
About the Way of Shambhala:
The Way of Shambhala is composed of Shambhala Weekend Retreat Levels I-V, each followed by a five-week course that expands upon what was offered in the weekend and brings the practice of meditation into everyday life.
Contentment in Everyday Life is the second of the five weekly courses that accompany the Shambhala Weekend Retreat Levels. It is recommended either before or after Shambhala Weekend Retreat Level II, but Contentment in Everyday Life can be taken on its own.
Over the course of a year, the Way of Shambhala introduces the entire Shambhala path. This series offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of enlightened society by emphasizing the ways in which meditation can impact our daily lives, and from there, how the sanity of meditation can expand to impact our community and our whole society.

click above to see more high-res pics of the new Ford Mondeo
We believe it's that time of year again when every automotive media outlet and its sister (publication) begin giving out its Car of the Year (COTY) award. Auto Express in the U.K. is kicking things off by awards its respective COTY statue to the new Ford Mondeo, as well as the honor for best family car and estate car. The editor's don't mince words when they say the Mondeo is "Ford's finest ever car". We'd like to agree, except we probably won't ever get a chance to drive the new Mondeo, at least not this generation of the car. Hopefully, Ford CEO Alan Mulally will have his way and the next-gen Mondeo will merge with our Fusion sold in the U.S. Perhaps then we can corroborate the opinion of Auto Express that the Mondeo is a COTY caliber sedan. Until then, however, we'll just congratulate the car from afar.

TROUBLED car giant Ford has been given a welcome boost by the news that the new Mondeo has been named Car of the Year.
The Mondeo was voted the best new car by experts at Auto Express, Britain's biggest-selling weekly motoring magazine.
And it was also named best in the family car class and best estate car too in the magazine's annual New Car Honours.
"The new Mondeo is Ford's finest ever car," said Auto Express editor in chief, David Johns. "Each and every model, whether hatchback, saloon or estate, has been designed and engineered to the highest standards. The car oozes quality, especially in the cabin which has levels of equipment and comfort which sets new standards for the class."
Ford - which is struggling with huge debts and facing having to sell-off Land Rover and Jaguar from its empire - beat rivals including prestige German makes, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and Audi to the overall Car of the Year title.
Other major winners included:
Vauxhall Corsa - Best Supermini
Honda Civic - Best Compact Family Car, and Best Hot Hatch (for the Type R)
Citroen C4 Picasso - Best MPV
Kia - for its industry-leading seven-year warranty
The Auto Express New Car Honours are the result of the biggest new car assessment programme carried out by any UK motoring magazine - with over 1,100 new cars independently tested each year on a wide range of key buying criteria, including practicality, value for money, performance, handling and safety. Uniquely, Auto Express also gives every car tested a green rating for environmental impact.
This year's winners were selected in 19 classes covering every size and class of car.

Over the last few years, several WVIAC schools have upgraded their athletic facilities in order to enhance their programs. For a while, Glenville State was not one of those schools. Which makes its newest project even sweeter.
"It's going to be one of those facilities that, kind of like with the wow factor, where you walk in and you go, 'Oh my gosh,' in Central West Virginia. But we're really excited about it," Glenville State College President Peter Barr said.
The Jesse R. Lilly Gymnasium has been home to the Glenville State basketball and volleyball teams for more than 80 years. Around this time next year, the Pioneers will settle in to their new home, the nearly $25 million dollar Waco Center.
"I think having this new Waco Center will help with recruiting," Pioneer Athletic Director Janet Bailey said. "It helps the students as they see it evolving, as they see the building going up. It's exciting for them to watch."
"I think everybody benefits from this," Barr said. "But particularly the athletes. They're certainly excited about it. But our whole student body is excited about this kind of an opportunity."
The multi-million dollar Waco Center will not be your typical basketball arena. The facility will include offices for the land surveying program at Glenville. More importantly, it will help solve a major problem that's been plaguing the city for quite some time.
"People talk about the sports arena, but the really important thing is that there's a 24/7 healthcare facility that will enhance healthcare for all individuals in this area and continuous counties because it will be available at all times," Bailey said.
"This is a wonderful opportunity," Barr added. "I'm sure that people would like to move here or stay here as they get older, but they don't have the medical facilities. So this is a tremendous opportunity for us."

Where does the "fire in your belly" come from?
Somewhere, somehow, there's something inside of us that gives us a boost of energy around various subjects, people, movements.
Where does the fire come from?
How did it start?
What keeps it going?
Why do we gravitate towards one thing versus another?
Feel free to share the fire in your belly. Who knows, it could start a bonfire.

Aug 31 2011: a war of minds. like every other spoilt brat i used to love war games, but one day i witnessed a mental tug-o'-war between two intellectuals and it is the most exhilarating thing i have ever seen or ever will. i've seen wars of words which are fun but a war of minds is amazing and it takes an enormous amount of skill to fight one.
Comment deleted
Sep 1 2011: Now, that's interesting. Thanks for the background. It's a funny phrase and after someone asked me where the "fire in my belly" came from, it made me pause and realize I didn't really know. So, I turned to Tedsters to tap into the wealth of knowledge.
And yes, it very well could be from the red hair. I haven't met a redhead yet that didn't have the fire.
Aug 31 2011: The twin terms, people and cultures really move me. Ever since I was a boy, pasting pictures in monthly books my Mom subscribed to about different countries of the world I knew. What keeps it going is: long years of experience in another culture; plans for moving and living and working and loving in other cultures; and a deep longing to experience what is up around the next bend. People and cultures make me sit up and listen, make me explore more, make me want to learn more.
Sitting down and eating at someone's table in another culture says it all.
Aug 31 2011: Marcin - Personally, I'm motivated by finding solutions to problems and/or opportunities around things that bring goodness to the world. I relish when someone says it's not possible. I'm a believer that if you see a problem, frustration or something that could better the world, it's your duty to chase it. It lights my fire. I'm not really sure where this comes from and/or why this motivates me more than others. Thoughts? What motivates you?

A new online ranking tags Utah as the nation's fourth most-romantic state, contradicting findings by Foursquare last week that put the state among the least romantic. Social media analysis firm Crimson Hexagon checked out more than 2 million comments referring to Valentine's Day on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other web gathering spots during the first half of February. They looked at positive and negative sentiment to create the state rankings.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Social media is a skeptical place, with 40% of mentions being negative and 23% indifferent about the holiday. But in the past five days, love notes have surged.
The most romantic state, according to the analysis, is California, followed by Wyoming, Texas, Utah and Hawaii. The haters are led by South Dakota, then West Virginia, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Kentucky. Most indifferent: Montana. The state produced the least social media mentions of Valentine's Day in the country.
