The New Modern Baby Book
Everything you need to create a photo book is right at your fingertips!
Lara Shriftman: I am completely obsessed with photos. You will always see me with a camera, taking pictures and capturing my little man's sweetest moments. I love to make scrapbooks and photo books; my latest obsession is blurb.com, a design program that allows you to make a photo book out of all of your favorite photos!
Blurb.com is great because:
• Once you've read the instructions, it is really easy to use.
• It is affordable (but keep in mind that the price depends on the size and the number of pages in your book).
• It can be any style and size that you want.
• It's your vision.
• It looks amazing.
• You can do it anytime.
• You can work on it little by little (especially for us busy moms).
• It's a great gift for any occasion or holiday; I create them for Mother's Day gifts, Father's Day gifts, birthday gifts, and Christmas gifts.
Get started with Blurb:
• Download the application.
• Next, download your favorite pictures into the program.
• Then design your pages with your favorite colors, fonts, styles, backgrounds, and more.
• If you mess up, you can always go back and edit any of your pages.
• Forgot to save your work? Don't fret -- Blurb has got it all covered. It will automatically save all of your work for you.
• Once you finish your book, all you have to do is hit "preview," and then check out.
• Believe me, it's that easy! Everything you need to create a photo book is right at your fingertips!

I have used blurb.com in the past. I have made about 3 books so far. I love the convenience of it…but I say the quality of the pictures is less than desirable. The photos usually are 3 times darker than the original photo. It's too bad though because the book and binding are wonderful.
I am obsessed with Blurb!! Thank you so much for writing about this amazing program. I make them for presents all the time and have started converting all my family albums into Blurb books!

Ex lax laxative is commonly used for relieving constipation in patients and is easily available over the shelf however due to some misconceptions this laxative has started being used as ex lax weight loss drug which is very unhealthy.
The very first reason why it should not be used as a weight loss drug is because it does not function as one. This laxative is designed to work as an anti constipation drug and excess or prolonged use of the laxative may prove to be fatal for the health of any individual.
The main reason behind associating weight loss with ex lax is that it has the capability of stopping nutrients and fats from being absorbed by the body. Though many laxatives ecarry a feature of preventing bodies from absorbing various different substances however these medicines since not designed for weight loss purposes can carry disastrous results in return of being used as a weight loss medication. Common side effects include dehydration and diarrhea which may in a way reduce weight which is very costly for your health.
Also medically it is explained that not all laxatives have the property of excreting fats and nutrients from the body without being absorbed. The function of absorbing nutrients in the body from the food we consume in done by the small intestines in the digestive system and many laxatives have minimum to no effects at all on this intestine and thus absence of nutrition absorption is not a common laxative featu7re. One factor however is of water retention as these laxatives are centered towards relieving constipation, large amounts of water is excreted from the body and the water weight is lost very quickly. Dependency on the laxative however should never be formed as regular use fosters the natural bowel movement system to seize thus requiring use of prolonged laxative for regular bowel movements creating an abuse situation.
Taking the laxative straight after meals may leave no time for the nutrients to be absorbed and may seem as an effective weight loss method but will ultimately lead to dehydration and malnutrition which leads to possible death. It is explained that even by taking the laxative straight after meals only 10% nutrients are excreted and since bloating is relieved of a flatter tummy is seen which gives the false impression of making a person slim and helping lose weight.
There are many other safe ways to reduce weight including sensible and healthy eating paired with exercising every day. Dieticians and physician can also be consulted to recommend ways of losing weight. It should always be remembered that there is no way through which you can lose weight doing nothing at all on your part. If you are not doing anything the weight even if it is lost will return back in no time at all.
Ex lax weight loss is spelling disaster for your health and should be never be taken up no matter how appealing the results may seem. It is always better to consult a doctor and stay informed on the effects and usage of such laxative before starting its use as a weight loss medication.

Comments about 18K Yellow Gold Blossom Ring:
My fiance and I love this ring. She was elated by it and would not want anything else. She loves that she can wear it everyday comfortably. We also like the diamond accents very much and think they add so much to the sparkle of the ring. The only fear she has is finding a wedding band that can match and complement the ring.

Dismal Failure: 'UK blows billions on drones' [Polly Boiko © RT]

The British army is the latest victim of the country's seemingly endless austerity drive - with 8000 fewer UK soldiers reporting for duty come the new year. But, as RT's Polly Boiko reports, when it comes to funding expensive war toys, Britain apparently has money to burn.

This was really delicious. I used only pinto beans, as that was all I had on hand, but otherwise I followed the recipe. Maybe I had a large jalapeno, but we thought it was quite spicy - although not too much so for our family. There is so much nutrition here - this will be a regular side dish, and even a main dish, for us.
Pinto, Black, and Red Bean Salad with Grilled Corn and Avocado

BeckiSue Posted: 05/27/12
Served this with pulled pork sandwiches for a Memorial Day get-together. Very flavorful. I'm going to enjoy eating leftovers with tortilla chips. Everyone enjoyed the salad.
oduamy Posted: 06/17/12
This was really good! This was the perfect summer side dish. Add some grilled chicken in and you'd have an awesome main dish. A keeper!
KellyDiff Posted: 06/17/12Philadelphia, PA
I thought this was a little bland - definitely needed more lime juice - I would double next time. Also all the grilled vegetables made it a pretty time consuming recipe. Overall I liked, but not sure I would make again.
sukeedog Posted: 05/30/12
Super tasty - I added about a cup of feta (which I often use like queso fresco) and served it as a main dish with tortilla chips on the side to scoop it up. Yum! Leftovers the next day were good, too - the lime kept the avocado more or less green.
stormydogblue Posted: 07/16/12
Excellent salad! I followed the recipe exactly except for adding some cumin, chili powder and extra lime juice. I made the mistake of stirring in the avocado which made everything stick together. It tasted fine, but the presentation wasn't as nice as it should have been if the avocado was only sprinkled in top.
skspillman Posted: 05/23/12
This is a very good salad. The only change I made was to use fresh basil instead of cilantro, as no one in my household likes cilantro. I also cooked the vegetables inside on the grill pan. I served these along some spicy sauteed BLSL chicken breasts.
Scvdiane Posted: 07/29/12
I've made this twice this week and several people asked for the recipe. It will be one of my favorite summer recipes from now on. We have an abundance of home grown cherry size heirloom tomatoes, which of course add to the flavor. I did, however add extra Cilantro (almost an entire bunch) and roasted jalapeño as well as serranos and poblanos with most of the seeds and membranes removed. It definitely wakes up the flavor. Yes, it's a bit labor intensive, but well worth the effort!
gdoscher Posted: 07/18/12
Have served this recipe for dinner when entertaining and everyone loved it. It is a little labor intensive, but very much worth it. My husband gets headaches from jalapeno peppers so I grilled a combination of red and orange sweet peppers. I also used cannellini beans instead of the pinto just because we like them better. The flavors blend together deliciously! Enjoy!
Ltoeat Posted: 07/05/12
Great summer salad. Make an easy lunch with leftovers. I charred the corn in a large skillet, if you don't have fresh corn, a 1lb bag of frozen corn will work. Forgot to buy jalapeno, so I used smoked red pepper flakes. The avocados on top makes it so creamy. Will make again.
Juliealabeau Posted: 09/14/12
This salad is awesome. I have made it on several occasions and everyone has loved it. I have been asked for the recipe by many and they have had the same reaction by guest. In fact, I am on the site now to copy and send to someone. I have used a large bag of frozen sweet corn and grilled it when corn was not in season and it was great as well. This salad is definitely worth the effort and gets easier each time you make it.

claudia3077 Posted: 02/25/13
healthy, delicious, great side dish or just by it self !
PamelaLeh Posted: 05/28/12
This salad is delicious! I have already served it twice and each time everyone loved it! It is so easy to put together too. Next time I plan to add another ear of corn and some more onion. That are wonderful in the salad with the grilled flavor!
bobo071553 Posted: 06/09/12
Made this for a graduation cookout and everyone raved about it. The only change I made was adding about a tablespoon of honey to the salad when mixed to add a bit more sweetness.
53Susan Posted: 06/22/13
An absolute winner. We used 2 jalapeños as being grilled the peppers are milder, otherwise made as written. The flavors of the grilled veggies and the beans was a great combination. I put the avocados on the side to add to avoid smushing them and only cut was needed each time served. Great that day then wonderful as a lunch or "dip" with chips on following days. For the leftovers I may add more lime juice each time eaten as that seemed to wane after the first day. Will make again and again and serve with our 4th of July BBQ. Great protein for vegetarian guests.
jessie530 Posted: 06/14/12
This was a good recipe to try especially if you are having a grill out. I unfortunately did not have a grill, so I cooked on the stove instead. even the salad. And instead of 3 beans I only had 2 but I added some cucumber in place, which made it really good! This is a recipe I would make again sometime.
Bikerann Posted: 06/10/12
Everyone has loved this recipe! The avocado did stay nice and green although I doubled the lime juice. It also makes a huge amount. Expect leftovers. Definitely a keeper.
laebrown Posted: 05/28/12
Pretty good! Cooked the veggies inside under the broiler. I knew going into the recipe that it may end up a little bland, since the starch-to-spice ratio is very high. I cut back the lime juice a bit, and added ground cumin, some garlic salt and a pinch or two of chili powder to provide a richer flavor and compensate for the smokiness lost under the broiler. In the future I would include some fresh garlic and more spices. The avocado and fresh corn made the recipe - it got demolished at a Memorial Day BBQ. I will definitely be making this again - it's definitely a healthy alternative to potato salad when we're cooking outside! :)
HollySev Posted: 08/09/13
Lots of flavor, great as a salad or as a dip with chips. Yum!
Tharavn66 Posted: 06/28/14
I would simply use Trader Joe's frozen grilled corn to make it easier! Nothing earth shattering or unique about the recipe.
sonyalipps Posted: 06/30/14
i thought this salad was delicious! i will be using the leftovers to make yummy burritos!

With help from volunteers, Apex Park may be partially open to hikers and bikers by this spring, according to a timeline established by the staff at Jeffco Open Space.
The park in Golden has been closed since September, when flooding caused extensive trail damage. Other parks in the Jeffco Open Space system, which also were severely impacted, are slated for repairs in the coming months.
During the holidays, I received word from a reader of this column, Brian Parsons, that he had what he believed to be a pair of turtle doves at his feeder south of Evergreen. He described the birds as being "a pair of light-colored doves with a black neck ring."
I talked to Mr. Parsons on the phone, but I have not as yet been able to see the birds myself. His description could be either of two birds, both of which have been seen in Colorado in the past.
The Evergreen Trails Master Plan project took an important step recently when it received a $49,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado.
The plan envisions a trail network running from the high school to Wulf Rec Center to the Evergreen Library, and then through downtown along Bear Creek.
Reprinted from Jan. 6, 2010
It is winter again this week. Snowflakes have been in the air several times, but so far, we haven't accumulated much, just added clean sheets to the snow bed that was already on the ground.
Green is not a color you expect to see this time of year when you look out the window. Ponderosa pines are nearly totally dormant and give an appearance of being black when seen against the snow.
"Another crow! There's too many to count," Hannah Crangle said while gazing into the wintry sky on Saturday morning.
Hannah was the lone but enthusiastic participant in Evergreen Audubon's first Kids Bird Count. Surrounded by Audubon members, the young girl was checking out the area around Kittredge Community Park with an experienced eye.
Hannah has a family history of birding. Her great-grandmother is Louise Mounsey, who founded Evergreen Audubon with Sylvia Brockner, the longtime nature writer for the Canyon Courier.
This year's Christmas Bird Count was held on Sunday, Dec. 15. All in all, it was just about an average count with totals of 4,690 individual birds observed and counts of 45 different species. There were no rare or unusual birds observed and no major decline or increase in any species.
After months of review and revisions, the draft of the updated master plan for Jefferson County Open Space is complete and waiting for final approval.
"We've created a vision," said Amy Ito, manager of park planning and construction for Jeffco Open Space, who has worked on the plan with other staff members. Jeffco Open Space Advisory Committee members also have played a key role in developing the draft as they critiqued and refined it during their monthly meetings.
Once more, 'tis the season for the Christmas Bird Count. The CBC is more than 100 years old. It was the custom for sportsmen to go out on Christmas Day to see how many birds they could shoot.
November brought us some variable weather. Not unexpectedly, we received our first measurable snow and a few brief snow squalls. November also brought us some fine spring-like days with temperatures in the foothills in the high 60s and Denver even reached 71 one day.

Shares are down 2.4% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Travelers Companies as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations, growth in earnings per share and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Although TRV's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average.
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $1,637.00 million or 9.06% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -23.48%.
- TRAVELERS COS INC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, TRAVELERS COS INC increased its bottom line by earning $6.27 versus $3.34 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($8.88 versus $6.27).
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Insurance industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, TRAVELERS COS INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

Charlie Sheen's war against an L.A. private school has turned personal ... Charlie says his ex-wife Denise Richards has now been targeted by the school's "spineless" supporters, who have embarked on a campaign to bully her and their children.
Charlie posted the latest tirade on his Twitter account, writing, "Here's why people suck; a group of mindless Viewpoint [School] supporting doosh-bagz have targeted [Denise] and the girls with 'bullying tactics' as a response to my call to arms."
Sources close to Charlie tell us, Charlie believes the "doosh bagz" in question are connected with families at L.A.'s expensive Viewpoint School, which Charlie publicly accused of condoning bullying ... after his 9-year-old daughter Sam was allegedly teased into leaving the school. The school insisted it took appropriate action.
We're told the "doosh bagz" live near Denise ... and have been harassing her at home. So far, it's unclear what they're accused of doing.
As for his new rant -- Charlie continued, writing, "Leave them alone. This is not a threat but a promise that justice will be served. I'm not hiding. You are. Show yourselves you spineless cowards. Oh that's right; cockroaches scatter in the light."
He added, "FYI - we have your faces on camera. Police are involved."
Charlie needs to be taken away in a straightjacket.. what he says sounds like the rantings of a loon. He sounds like hes making threats. Someone needs to throw some crap at him!
They can`t learn how to cope unless they get some warlock know how and they learn how to be known persons
Sounds like the ratings on his show are down so he's gong to use his daughter for publicity.
Charlie Sheen is the biggest "doosh-bag" on the planet!!!!!
I pulled my daughter out of a private school for bullying. The school would do nothing. I am so behind Charlie Sheen. The idea that bullying is a part of childhood and kids just need to get used to it and blah blah blah is just plain wrong. I took a stand and pulled her OUT and homeschooled her and the others. They are good, thriving kids now, all in college. Normal, well-adjusted. These kids learn bullying from their parents. Who were probably bullies in school. Bullying is only part of school because it is TOLERATED. And all this talk of no bullying now is just lip-service. Go, Charlie!!!!
That's right Charlie...Bring 'em out, bring 'em out. Let's see their faces on Channel 8 news. Those coward-bullying parents will be exposed. Viewpoints cannot save l'il Miss Victoria or her parents
Go Charlie!!!
They are not bullies. They are rich and superior and simply expressing themselves. Get em Charlie
This happened a year ago--the girls haven't been at that school for a year. There were no problems for Denise until his call to arms. He just needs to stop. He's making things worse for Denise and the girls.
Hey Charlie, WTF cares??? You should have taken care of them when you HAD then A HOLE!!!
I feel sorry for Denise. She seems normal. Charlie is making things SO much worse. Charlie, just STFU!
the little girl in question probably learned how to be a bully by watching Charlie go after Chuck Lorre and everyone else who infuriated him. He should be proud of her.
Grow up Charlie...you are the one that started this almost a year after it happened. Your family have you to thank.
STFU Charlie! You are just as big of a bully, if not bigger. Your comments put other children in danger. Making terroristic threats is not going to get you anywhere but prison. Face it, YOU and YOUR actions are the reason your kids are picked on.
Charlie on the booze again? Does that mean he actually cannot control it with his mind like he said?

Here's our vegetarian play on the classic Bolognese pasta dish. We used precut mushrooms to make it a quick dinner, but a mixture of gourmet mushrooms would be a decadent variation. Just don't forget parmesan cheese for the top.
Sunset APRIL 2010
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and spoon into a serving bowl.
2. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes.
3. Serve pasta topped with sauce and oregano. Serve shaved parmesan on the side.

Our need to get out there and demonstrate against a corrupted world, says Brian Draper, needs to translate into a set of positive commitments and actions that speak for what we are for as well as what we are against.
Pope Benedict XVI has urged British PM Gordon Brown to push for the establishment of an ethically-grounded financial system at the G20 summit that begins in London on Thurday.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told faith leaders and representatives of NGOs at St Paul's Cathedral in London that the world must adopt global economic rules based on common values.
The Put People First demonstration in London on 28 March, ahead of the G20 meeting was a showcase of political, environmental and economic idealism, says Hannah Kowszun. But are such marches mirroring too much of what they decry?
Protestors carrying a huge dead canary and signs saying 'Canary Wharf RIP' will demonstrate tomorrow against the government's attempts to revive the dead policies of the free market system on the eve of the G20 summit of the world's leading economies.
Responding to global financial crisis must be more than "short term financial bail out." It must seek "long term transformation" and "sound ethical and moral principles", says the World Council of Churches.
It is understandable that some people feel sceptical about demonstrations in the wake of events like the G20 summit, says Simon Barrow. But mobilisation for change needs to be seen as part of a larger process of change, not as an act of disconnected idealism.
Religious leaders in Britain have today urged the G20 leaders not to forget their commitments to the world's poorest people in the current economic crisis.
Nearly 40,000 people marched in central London yesterday to demand that the G20 leaders meeting in the capital this week face the need for major changes to the international financial system.
Thousands of peaceful protesters are expected to join rallies on Saturday 28 March ahead of the 2 April 2009 G20 rich countries' summit on the global financial crisis.

It's probably safe to say that only one of them actually uses the company's products, but Bruno Mars , Rihanna and Justin Bieber will be the musical guests for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show TV special, according to People magazine.
All three artists will perform as the company's scantily-clad models sashay down the runway, modeling the latest looks in lingerie. Bruno will likely perform his new single "Locked Out of Heaven," as well as other hits. Rihanna's new single, "Diamonds," will be a great soundtrack to the company's annual unveiling of its diamond-studded holiday "Fantasy" bra. As for Justin, watching him serenade gorgeous models with "Boyfriend" may just be too much for Selena Gomez to take.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air December 4 at 10 p.m on CBS.

PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö As the first ŌĆ£Garden of the MonthŌĆØ for the summer of 2011, the recipient ŌĆö the IUP Academy of Culinary Arts ŌĆö probably has the most functional use of all gardens in town.
Some of the plants in the garden ŌĆö cited for the month of May by the Punxsutawney Garden Club ŌĆö are edible herbs, such as mint, sage, oregano, chives, thyme, peppers and others, that may be used in dishes prepared by culinary students.
ŌĆ£I want to know if the peppers are extremely hot,ŌĆØ said Richard Manslow, project director for Indiana University of Pennsylvania. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm dying to know.ŌĆØ
The IUP Academy of Culinary ArtsŌĆÖ building along South Gilpin Street has been in place since 1990, according to Chef Instructor Martha Jo Rupert.
A few years ago, PennDOT began its project to renovate the curb along South Gilpin Street/Route 119 and the schoolŌĆÖs parking lot.
ŌĆ£It was a good time,ŌĆØ Manslow said about the project. ŌĆ£The culinary school always wanted to get a better parking facility and fix that area.ŌĆØ
Four years ago, when PennDOT began examining the project, it was performed in conjunction with the culinary academy, he said.
ŌĆ£The biggest thing with that was trying to utilize the edible plants with the culinary school,ŌĆØ Manslow said.
The garden could not begin until the PennDOT project was complete, Rupert said. It was completed last spring.
Many of the plants near the main entrance of the culinary academy are girard scarlet azaleas, hummingbird summersweet, hamelin dwarf fountain grass and arctic fire dogwood.
Lining the front part of the school facing Gilpin Street are red-twig dogwoods, more azaleas and pawpaw.
The herb gardens are placed alongside another side of the building in a location where students ŌĆö who help maintain the herb gardens ŌĆö can access them from the kitchen.
According to Manslow, the architect on the parking area was Civil & Environmental Consultants of Pittsburgh, while the contractor was HRI Inc. That firm subcontracted Green Valley Landscaping Inc. of State College for the planting.
Weather has been a challenge for any garden in this area, but Rupert said, ŌĆ£This will be really nice when it takes hold. ItŌĆÖs a nice welcome to our little green town.ŌĆØ

Everybody back on earth!!
It's a fascinating question, why is beauty an actually good way of devising our ideas about the universe? Why are they confirmed by nature? Why does nature choose beautiful ways of unraveling?
From this week's show with astrophysicist Janna Levin.
in your multitudes
scarce to be counted
filling the darkness
with order and light.
You are the sentinels
silent and sure
keeping watch in the night…
keeping watch in the night.
You know your place in the sky
you hold your course and your aim
and each in your season returns and returns
and is always the same.
And if you fall, as Lucifer fell
you fall in flame!
The Universe*!!! AM I right???
* Also beautiful poem
Source: as-valentine
Yes! The mold is too tight … Just break it now!
I am going through challenging experiences and often find myself dividing them up into those I like and those I don't, or those I want and I don't!
I remember my teachings from the beauty way and what Taoist masters teach us … to look deeper. To welcome what is on our path, appreciate, learn and respond. It is better to accept the wholeness of life.
A traditional Taoist story …
"When an old farmer's stallion wins a prize at a country show, his neighbor calls round to congratulate him, but the old farmer says, "Who knows what is good and what is bad?"
The next day some thieves come and steal his valuable animal. His neighbor comes to commiserate with him, but the old man replies, "Who knows what is good and what is bad?"
A few days later the spirited stallion escapes from the thieves and joins a herd of wild mares, leading them back to the farm. The neighbor calls to share the farmer's joy, but the farmer says, "Who knows what is good and what is bad?"
The following day, while trying to break in one of the mares, the farmer's son is thrown and fractures his leg. The neighbor calls to share the farmer's sorrow, but the old man's attitude remains the same as before.
The following week the army passes by, forcibly conscripting soldiers for the war, but they do not take the farmer's son because he cannot walk. The neighbor thinks to himself, "Who knows what is good and what is bad?" and realizes that the old farmer must be a Taoist sage. "
- New Breed of Heretics featuring Faith Fuller -
I am thrilled to share with you Faith's thoughts and experiences of being a Heretic.
I love her definition of Heretic … those who go against conventional wisdom. She knows deeply what she is talking about! She is such a beautiful, amazing, caring and powerful specimen of Heretic.
Let's be inspired and start to experience with Faith what it is to be and live the Heretic way.
What makes you a Heretic?
I think of Heretics as those who go against conventional wisdom. There are a variety of ways in which I have gone against convention, starting from an early age.
I came out as a Lesbian in my late twenties, which was a journey of standing up for what was true and real and beautiful for me despite the negative messages from family and some friends.
I studied, practiced and eventually taught Buddhism, which at the time was considered "out there" and a betrayal of my Christian upbringing.
I have integrated many streams of personal development that have not always been easy bedfellow together in the ORSC model; such as Psychology, Taoism, Coaching and OD consulting.
What is your biggest act as a Heretic?
Probably coming out as a lesbian. That impacted everything about my identity, my family, friends and future, in an era that was much less accepting than it is now. It forced me to leave the comfortable land of convention and risk being an outcast. I still feel that everyday I stand up for my love of Marita is an act of world work. It has shaped my sensitivity to those who experience discrimination.
The other Heretical decision was the choice to leave CTI and go independent as CRR Global. Many cautioned against this choice- it was a leap of faith. ORSC lives in the space between the worlds of psychology, coaching, consulting etc. Sometimes it feels like those worlds find us heretical in our approach.
What does it take to make a choice?
Making a choice involves crossing an edge and taking a risk. Obviously some are bigger than others. What is difficult about it is the unknown and the fact that there are no guarantees. Not every choice ends in a happy ending. I think in the coaching world there is the belief that if we just are strong and commit that "the universe will swing open." But that is NOT always true. Sometimes we make a choice and the outcome is not what we hoped for. We need to make choices because unless we do we are paralyzed, unable to unfold who we are, but we also need to know that we may learn more from our failures than we do our successes. I am thinking of Rilke's poem below.
The Man Watching, by Rainer Maria Rilke
I can tell by the way the trees beat, after
so many dull days, on my worried windowpanes
that a storm is coming,
and I hear the far-off fields say things
I can't bear without a friend,
I can't love without a sister
The storm, the shifter of shapes, drives on
across the woods and across time,
and the world looks as if it had no age:
the landscape like a line in the psalm book,
is seriousness and weight and eternity.
What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights us is so great!
If only we would let ourselves be dominated
as things do by some immense storm,
we would become strong too, and not need names.
When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.
What is extraordinary and eternal
does not want to be bent by us.
I mean the Angel who appeared
to the wrestlers of the Old Testament:
when the wrestler's sinews
grew long like metal strings,
he felt them under his fingers
like chords of deep music.
Whoever was beaten by this Angel
(who often simply declined the fight)
went away proud and strengthened
and great from that harsh hand,
that kneaded him as if to change his shape.
Winning does not tempt that man.
This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively,
by constantly greater beings.
What advice would you give to future Heretics?
Be like the man wrestling the angel. Know that some of your choices are the inevitable unfolding of your nature. And don't be too concerned about the outcomes, the sacred moment is the moment of standing for something, regardless what happens later.
What would be the word that represent the Heretic in you?
Hmmmmm- perhaps the sacred flame. It may take the form of the shining torch lighting the way, OR the bonfire where the conventional world burns us at the stake! You never know which it will be – or it may be both!

- New Breed of Heretics featuring Lori Shook -
I met Lori only few months ago, and I was awestruck by her presence, she is the kind of person who brings clarity and depth in the room. Her reflexion about being a Heretic is authentic, fluid, powerful and inspiring.
What makes you a Heretic?
When I think of the word Heretic, I think of daring to go against the flow, in addition to the ability to choose. What makes me a Heretic? Moving from California to France to the UK could be one answer. Leaving engineering to be a coach is another. My desire to learn and understand humanity has been the driving force behind a number of big choices I made.
What gives me permission to be a heretic? When I was a child, I never felt like I fit in so I never learned that I had to fit in. That was the upside of being different as a child – ok, I'm a bit different from others, so why not… I don't worry so much about what people think… I consider it, but I don't base my decisions on what others will think. My sense of what's right for me is stronger than my worry about what others think about me. I think this has given me the freedom to choose in a way that others might view as a bit radical.
What is your biggest act as a Heretic ?
Probably leaving a "real" job as an engineer to become a coach in the mid-1990s when only a few people knew what coaching was and nobody knew if it was a viable career path. It felt right for me and I'd been searching for the "right" new career for many years, so I went for it.
What does it take to make a choice?
Choice or change is crossing an edge. Even if it's a simple choice, it causes some kind of disruption. So the difficulty in making a choice is usually dealing with the disruptions and side effects. Sometimes it means disappointing other people, and that can be hard because it can feel like it's threatening a relationship which is difficult for most people. Knowing that not everyone will be happy is the hard part. But I generally have the mindset that at some level the people who care about me trust me to make the best decision for myself and that people will be best-served if I make the best decisions for myself.
Sometimes choosing means having to deal with the unknown or step away from safety and security. Learning to be with the unknown is incredibly important and helpful – even necessary when making bigger life choices. I find the unknown somewhat exciting – for a while anyway; it is still a bit overwhelming.
Sometimes the hardest part is simply ignoring the fear that tries to tell me that I might be making the wrong decision. But I find that after one choice there are always new choices and opportunities that come along.
What advice would you give to future Heretics?
Keep doing your own personal development work. Stay aware of how you make choices and how you talk to yourself. Learn about yourself and how you can trust yourself. Find an inner voice that you can count on – a voice that does not worry, panic, or fret but can simply see the truth for what it is.
Remember that you can choose your mindset, the way you think and how you talk to yourself. It's your mindset that will enable or prevent you from making the choices you want to make.
Find your source of courage because, let's face it: it takes courage to make changes.
Finally, decide how you want to contribute to the world – have that be your purpose and your focus. Pay attention and notice the opportunities you have around you. Then take bold steps to follow your purpose.
What would be the word that represent the Heretic in you?
"I want to contribute to the world in a particular way, so I choose to…"
To finish that sentence, I need to listen to the inner voice that knows what the best choice is for me.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I have such great memories of deciding what to dress up as each year – a ghost, a hobo, a witch – I always seemed to be really traditional things. And then getting so bummed out when it would snow and I'd have to wear a jacket! The nerve. I think I've mentioned before that I grew up in a small townhouse, and because of the close proximity of houses it was always a prime trick or treating spot. My mom would easily go through 300 pieces of candy each year. My uncle would bring my two cousins over, along with even more candy to hand out, and we would set off to visit as many houses as humanly possible in a three hour time frame (I remember one of them dressing up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for at least three consecutive years!). Our weapons of choice were old pillowcases, and when we were through we'd dump our piles of sweets out onto the living room carpet , organize everything, and make trades. We moved out of that house when I was 18, but Halloween evenings will always be some of my best memories.
Hello, my name is Megan and I've had the site Not Martha for 11 years. I create DIY projects and collect links to things all over the place. I have a background in theater design, so of course my favorite holiday is Halloween.
Each Halloween I find myself seeking out skull objects that are life-sized (or almost). Here is what I am currently a bit obsessed with.
A 3-D printed sculpture by Joshua Harker that was the number one most funded sculpture project on Kickstarter, you can read more about how these came to be in this Etsy Short Story.
Life sized chocolate skulls cast from a real human skull. Each one is unique and comes in dark chocolate or her own Bone Chocolate, a mixture of white and milk chocolates.

Monster Postcards
I love the work of Quill and Fox, their illustrations always seem to make me smile. And so being the Halloween lover that I am, their Monster Postcards are right up my alley. These four creatures might be scary if they weren't so adorable.
Happy Halloween

Did you have a fantastic weekend celebrating Halloween?? It snowed/slushed in Brooklyn which put a damper on some of my grander plans, but left room for a yummy dinner of linguine, browned butter, grated romano, and an over-easy egg. So I can't really complain.

Can we travel faster than the speed of light?
View Single Post
Schrodinger's Dog
Jul9-07, 10:25 AM
Assuming special relativity is correct no, we can't. We generally assume relativity is correct at the moment, so you would be wrong. The speed of light is the speed limit for the Universe, as far as we know and as yet no one has disproven this fundamental law.
This thread might help:-
Quote by
The Universe has a fundamental symmetry, called
Lorentz symmetry
, which causes to exist an asymptotic
upper limit on all relative speeds. Objects with mass can never reach that upper limit. Massless objects (such as photons)
travel at that limiting speed, and no other. These are consequences of the mathematics of Lorentz symmetry.
This obviously begs the question, "why does the universe have Lorentz symmetry?"
Nobody knows.
(Or at least there is no generally accepted answer, as far as I know.) This is the ultimate answer to all "why?" questions in physics, by the way. The answer to any "why?" question leads to another "why?" question, and ultimately we always come to one that we cannot answer in the context of physics, at least not yet.
An asymptote is a value that can be approached but never reached. Except in the case given here.

Who says that size doesn't matter? Photographers have big cameras, big lenses, big prints and big wedding albums. Sure you can get a little KISS wedding album but you can also get the 12″ wedding album in leather. This thing is a monster and I love it. It really captures my wedding photography and lays it out in a wonderful album to be shared for generations.
And the leather albums are available in 8″, 10″ and 12″
Someone commented that our generation is at risk of losing all their photographs. Everyone keeps them digitally and they are one computer failure away from loosing all their family memories. That is why it is important to have a physical wedding album that will last a lifetime and more.
This is my sample wedding album. The book is photo printed – meaning the paper is just like a printed photograph and it is bound into a leather album. The two page spreads are thick and durable. You of course want to protect the album like any other photograph. The album even comes with a protective cover. The leather cover is smooth and soft so you store it laying flat and you don't want to put anything on the book.
I do have a gallery on SmugMug with photographs of the albums – the photographs can be enlarged to see the detail of the albums.
Here are a few detail photographs to show you the construction of the book. I will be bringing these books along to any meeting with future and potential clients so they can hold the book in their hand and see the quality and beauty of the wedding albums.
The pages are seamless – I still try to avoid putting key details in the very center of the photograph but there is no page break to worry about.
Not sure how well you will be able to make out the quality construction of the wedding album but it is a work of art. In choosing the color of the album I try to pick one of the colors that is closest to the official wedding colors. And if there is not one close enough I personally go with black, brown or white.
Here is an example of the two page spread and the seamlessness – a very cool feature and something the craftsman who make the book have perfected.
Here is a photograph with the leather album and the swatch samples. We keep the choices simple in color, cover, and size. You can contact me about pricing questions.

The school year is in full swing for high schools across the area, and with classes back in sessions, the annual traditions are well underway. Homecoming week ended last Friday for East Valley High School and this year it will be remembered for a beautiful moment at the 50 yard line during the football game.
Tiffany Allen was born with down syndrome 17 years ago. Her friends say she always brings them a smile so that's why they wanted to return the favor. A month ago Tiff's paraprofessional Debbie Strehlou got an idea.
"When I heard they were taking nominations for homecoming queen I sat there and I said, 'Ya know, why can't Tiffie be a Queen?" Strehlou said. "I emailed Brenda Gaver who's in charge and she said give me a name and I said Tiffany Allen."
The nomination was in and the students took over from there. In just a few days she went from nominee to finalist when Tiffany was placed in the top three out of 20 girls. Last Friday at the football game they announced the winner.
It was Tiffany Allen.
Her grandmother called it the best night of her life. The crowning brought a tear to her because she knows it's a moment Tiffany will never forget.

There was a period of time when Rick Ross seemed like a parody of the commercial rap scene. His larger than life persona was buzzworthy through songs like "Hustlin'", but he was dismissed as another one-hit wonder. When the accusations of him being a former correctional officer came out, it seemed like a sure-fire credibility destroyer, and along with a highly publicized beef with 50 Cent, the idea of Ross over taking the G-Unit rapper in terms of popularity was far-fetched. Although here we are…
Like Teflon Don before it, on God Forgives, I Don't, Ross has settled in to his own sound, which gorgeously illustrated throughout the album. While we've seen rappers try to glorify "the finer things" through their rhymes, musically (not lyrically), nobody has done it better than Ross. The tracks on this album have an ultra-chilled out, elevated sound, such as the Wilson Pickett sampled "Ashamed", the luxurious "Maybach Music IV" with Ne-Yo, or the Pharrell-helmed "Presidental". This does work against him on some of the softer R&B driven tracks like "Touch'n You" (feat. Usher) or the disappointing "Diced Pineapples" that lacks a rapped verse from Drake. But for every small misstep, there's stronger cuts like "Amsterdam" to make up for it.
Ross reels in some eyebrow-raising collabos with "3 Kings" (feat. Dr. Dre and Jay-Z) and "Sixteen" (feat. Andre 3000) – both of which abandon the typical rap song structure. While these are the album's "go-to" cuts, it's the material that surrounds it that makes this such a solid release. Even the ignorant "Hold Me Back" is somewhat refreshing – as it finds Rick rhyming from the perspective of an angry poor person – making it more than just the another "B.M.F." clone. Thankfully he does not rely too heavily on the Lex Lugar sound, instead opting for a more mature approach for much of the hour's listen. As a bonus, the deluxe version gets rounded out with the two best cuts from his Rich Forever mixtape – it's title track, featuring John Legend, and "Triple Beam Dreams" with Nas.
Ross is easily this generation's rapper you love to hate, but on his fourth album, it seems he's finally found his groove. His lyrics are sharper, his track selection is greater, and his guest list is A-list. Some may never be able to get past his shrouded past as a corrections officer. But authenticity contests aside, it's pure and simple entertainment. Like any great actor, Rick ross dives into the role and plays it to the hilt.
Pizzo, I've been rocking with yoou for years bro. I respect your review. may be a little generous but I respect it. I would give it a 3.5/5

Slovenia has been enriched with a new, unique and attractive tourist product called TURIZEM V ZIDANICAH ( Vineyard Cottage Tourism), which is meant for tourists who are looking for authentic and genuine tourist arrangements, for some peace and quiet and a chance to relax in the countryside.
Vineyard cottages are a unique feature in the wine-growing region of Posavje, which includes the wine-growing districts of Dolenjska, Bela Krajina and Bizeljsko-Sremič because nowhere else in the world can you find this many vineyard cottages, wooden wine storage rooms and wine cellars grouped together in such a small area. All these structures stand on the edges of vineyards in splendid locations that offer lovely views. The agricultural part of the vineyard cottage is represented by the cellar, which contains tools and wine; the living quarters on the ground floor consist of a kitchen, toilet, bathroom and sleeping quarters. The vineyard cottages are fully fitted with modern equipment and provide visitors with everything they need for a pleasant vacation (kitchen, living room with a dining area, bedroom, bathroom, toilet, TV, balcony or terrace…).
While staying in these unique buildings, you will be able to enjoy serenity and quiet contemplation; read a book, take in the beautiful nature and the magnificent scenery, and take time to be with your loved ones…
Who, above all, is Vineyard Cottage Tourism meant for?
Visitors seeking an active vacation experience: hiking, cycling, horseback riding and boating
You can get more information at www.slovenia-heritage.net/tp, where you will find the Heritage Trails Net, which covers 1400 km of hiking, cycling, horseback riding and water trails. All the trails are marked and described; the description includes the local tourist offer and attractions that occur along the way. You can print out the routes or transfer the data onto your GPS device, which will then guide and assist you along the way. You can find out more about the trails' tourist offer through the mobile phone portal http://activeslovenia.mobi.
swimming and wellness programmes in Terme Krka (the thermal spas in Šmarješke Toplice and Dolenjske Toplice) and Čatež
for golf lovers, there are golf courses in Otočec and Mokrice. Otočec has already twice received the award for the best golf course in Slovenia.
the region also provides many opportunities for hunting and fishing (hunting and fishing clubs), playing tennis, flying in a motor glider or balloon or going paragliding; you can also visit a kart racing track, motocross track or a speedway.
Admirers of natural and cultural heritage
the natural heritage is shaped by our forests, plains, hills dotted with vineyards; rivers ( the Krka, the Kolpa River, the Krupa River springs); numerous karst caves (the best known among them being the Kostanjevica cave).
the cultural heritage is shaped by our numerous churches and castles. Over the centuries, the Church has played a significant role in the life of Dolenjska; churches have, therefore, left their mark on this landscape. The region is also full of important monasteries. Stična monastery (Slovenian Museum of Christianity), Pleterje Charterhouse (multivision) and Skansen Pleterje (an open-air museum) as well as the former Cistercian monastery in Kostanjevica na Krki, which hosts the Božidar Jakac Gallery. Admirers of the fine arts might enjoy visiting the Trebnje Gallery of Naïve artists, the Kambič Gallery in Metlika and the Jakčev dom Gallery in Novo mesto. A large segment of natural and cultural heritage has been documented on the following website: www.slovenia-heritage.net.
Dolenjska also has a priceless archeological heritage. After all, its capital, Novo mesto, is known as the town of situlae. This ornamented bronze situla, or pale, is displayed, together with other exquisite archeological specimens at the Dolenjska Museum in Novo mesto. Here, you will have chance to learn about our ancestors' lives over the past 10,000 years, especially during the reign of the Hallstatt princes, when Dolenjska was one of the most important regions in continental Europe. Those of you who are interested in archeology should visit the Museum of Bela krajina, the church of St. Peter in Gorenji Mokronog, Cvinger (Dolenjske Toplice), the Pastoral centre in Črnomelj, the Mithraeum above Rožanec…
one of the most charming attributes of this region is the traditional countryside architecture: small wooden barns, raised granaries, pigsties, beehives and hayracks. The countryside is still pervaded by a strong sense of tradition. It is still possible to visit and admire the old wine shops and vineyard cottages on many vine-covered hillsides.
Visitors who enjoy culinary and gastronomic diversity
The culinary image of the Posavje wine-growing region comes from the integration of the Alpine and Pannonian cuisine and heritage. You will find a wide variety of dishes on the menus of local restaurants: roasted duck with 'mlinci' and red cabbage, all kinds of 'štruklji' with different stuffing and 'pogača' (for example, the Bela krajina festive bread called 'povitica' or 'prosta potica'). The people of Bela krajina are known for their skilful preparation of grilled lamb and suckling pig and for preparing excellent poultry. This also applies to the Bizeljsko region. The wine-growing region of Posavje has made a big step forward in the last few decades in raising the culinary culture for salami and sausages. Throughout this region, salami and sausage festivals are held each year to choose the finest products. You can find excellent meat rolls, stuffed roast pork knuckles, chicken and rabbit stews with 'žganci'. A local Dolenjska specialty among the Posavje dishes is 'matevž' – a kind of traditional side dish made of mashed beans and potatoes that goes well with meat and stewed cabbage.
Although most vineyard cottages do not provide a catering service, you can discover new culinary treats in local inns, tourist farms, wine shops and restaurants.
It goes without saying that wine lovers will have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the numerous high quality wines that can be sampled at many renowned wineries across the Posavje wine-growing region; starting, of course, with the 'maverick' from Dolenjska – Cviček, the only wine in Europe to have less than a 10% alcohol content; it is recommended for moderate consumption by doctors because of its healing properties.
People who enjoy going to traditional ethnological and other types of events
The Posavje wine-growing region is famous for its numerous traditional events, which are very well organized and well attended (the 'Vinska Vigred' in Metlika, 'Teden cvička' in Novo mesto, 'Trški dnevi' in Žužemberk, 'Semiška ohcet' and 'Jurjevanje' in Črnomelj, 'Cvičkarija', 'Praznik češenj', 'Rock Otočec', 'Topliška noč', 'Jernejevo', 'Straška jesen', 'Martinovanje', 'Iz trebanjskega koša'… In addition, you can visit various local open-air festivals and events, which abound especially at weekends.
In conclusion, vineyard cottages were built with great care and affection by locals who have become closely attached to them. In the past, they only used to invite their closest friends to their vineyard cottages. Now they wish to share them with you. We hope you grow to cherish them as much as we do..
We wish to welcome you to our corner of the world and our vineyard cottages, where you will feel the warm embrace of vine-clad hills and hospitable locals. We have opened our doors and look forward to your visit. You will see that Vineyard Cottage Tourism offers an interesting, attractive and unforgettable experience when coming here on either a short or long vacation.
