Only certified TM teachers can provide instruction in the authentic Transcendental Meditation technique.
In the U.S., the certification of TM teachers is available exclusively from Maharishi Foundation USA, a federally-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. Certified TM teachers have successfully completed an intensive 5-month in-residence Teacher Training Course, and they maintain their certification through ongoing professional courses for TM teachers.
Sheila Moschen has been practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique since 1974 and has been a TM teacher in the Cambridge and Greenfield, MA areas since 1992. She holds a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a focus on language and culture and was a dental hygienist for 14 years in Boston and Western Massachusetts. She is a singer and songwriter who enjoys traveling, swimming, and taking care of her precious granddaughter.
"Teaching the Transcendental Meditation technique is the most fulfilling profession I can imagine. It's a joy to watch my students blossom before my eyes as they tap into the hidden reservoir of bliss, creativity, energy, and intelligence within."

Martin Scorsese's 1978 capsule history of the Band is mixed with footage of the group's allegedly last performance (certainly their last performance as a quintet) in this particularly stylish concert film. Scorsese shoots the players and their sundry guests with the same flair and enthusiasm one can see in the later The Color of Money or Goodfellas. He also proves a good interviewer with Band members, particularly Robbie Robertson, whose sleepy-sexy good looks make a star-caliber impression in close-up. But the film's real hook is the stage show, which features a rotation of rock legends (Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, and so on) playing with the Band before a wildly appreciative audience. --Tom Keogh

Honeymoon Beach St John Provides the Setting for the Perfect Getaway
With all the stress and planning leading up to the wedding day, many newlywed couples can't wait to hit the honeymoon trail. This is one of the biggest events in the life of a couple since it is the first trip they will take as husband and wife. To ensure everything goes as planned, honeymoon beach st john as well as other locations in this area can provide the perfect romantic setting to set the tone for the many years of marriage to come.
Sand, sun and a tropical landscape
For many people the vision of sand, sun, a tropical landscape, and tons of romance is enough to build the anticipation of a honeymoon to the breaking point. Selecting between the many options available today, therefore, can be quite a challenge. By knowing what you'd like to share as a couple, building the perfect honeymoon package is easier than might be believed.
The rainy season in St. John is between May and October with hurricanes occasionally hitting the area between August and October. Therefore, the best time to travel to the region is between January and April or in November and December. Additionally, for those on a budget, looking for specials or going during the off-season could save hundreds of dollars in the long-run, so rainy weather should not be totally excluded. After all, with the warm waters of the Caribbean, getting wet is not unusual.
There are several other considerations when looking for the perfect location. There are thousands of resorts and beaches in the area and each will vary in privacy, first-rate service, seclusion, awe-inspiring settings, and especially romance. Fortunately, little is needed in way of clothing as bikini wear, suntan lotion, and a smile is all that's really required.
Honeymoon Beach
One of the best known locations is Caneel Bay which is located within the Virgin Islands National Park on the island of St. John. Tucked into the beautiful landscape is a resort which provides access to what's known as "Honeymoon Beach" as well as the national park. This is a location for those who truly want to get away from it all. There are no radios, television, or telephones, but what it lacks in technology it makes up for in the 170 acres of national park boarded by seven white-sand beaches. It is only accessible by boat or ferry making it the perfect getaway for those who want to spend this time alone.
Although this may seem ideal, there are many other romantic areas within the St. John region as well as plenty to see and do. This collection of tiny islands has earned the nickname of "Love City" as it provides many opportunities for the love connections newlyweds are looking for as well as others celebrating romantic occasions. There are several sites, in fact, that are known to create the ambiance needed to ensure that memorable moment and perfect kiss.
Another popular site is Trunk Bay because it is one of the photographed beaches in the world. Many sunset weddings are held here on the white sand beaches with the turquoise waters lapping gently against the shore. On the northwest coast between Hawk's Nest and Denis Bay is a 180 degree panoramic view of St. Thomas from a site called Peace Hill. This truly spectacular sight is very inspiring.
Whether one selects Bordeaux Point for its mountaintop retreat, Annaberg Plantation for its historical significance and stone ruins, or Waterlemon Cay for its fabulous snorkeling opportunities, this is an area of the world where every destination provides the basics needed for a perfect honeymoon. Whether one selects honeymoon beach st john located in Caneel Bay or one of the others, this area offers many memorable moments that will meet any newlywed couple's honeymoon expectations.

Hotlines such as Reten Beware in the San Fernando Valley use social media networks and mobile devices to alert immigrants of checkpoints. (Photo: Reten Beware)
By SHARIS DELGADILLO
Channels: Immigration, Media
Millions of undocumented immigrants in California will breathe a sigh of relief when a new state law takes effect Jan. 1. The law requires that officers at sobriety checkpoints allow unlicensed drivers to call the vehicle owner or another person with a license to pick up the car.
When did patriotism become xenophobia? I mean you're supposed to share how great your country is, not force people to see things your way. Who knows, in the process you might learn something new, something others do better than your own culture or society. Something that will make you all stronger together.
a lonely boy cries at night -
he looks out into his environment and does not see, but a face that is too chinese and
not white enough.
he claws at his skin and punches his brown eyes blue.
and chokes his throat till his voice sounds hoarse and manly.
but to no avail - he can't be anything his environment demands of him.
An adopted teen who has lived in Port St. Joe, Fla. since she was 3 faces possible deportation to England for refusing a vaccination, she and her mother say.
Simone Davis, 17, said she has no need for the vaccine Gardasil, which guards against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus virus, because she is not sexually active, ABC News reported.
But the U.S. government requires female immigrants between the ages of 11 and 26 to receive Gardasil shots before they can become citizens.
As a devout Christian who has taken a virginity pledge, Simone argues she is in no danger of getting cervical cancer and sees no reason to get the vaccine. American-born girls are encouraged, but not required, to get the vaccine.
Simone and Jean Davis sought a waiver on moral and religious grounds, but were turned down. They have 30 days to appeal the ruling. Without citizenship, Simone can be sent back to England, ABC said.
"I kind of feel like they may be experimenting with immigrants to see how we will react and then give the vaccine to citizens," Simone said. "If it is such a great vaccine, why isn't it mandatory for everyone?""—
Girl faces deportation over vaccine - UPI.com
I didn't know this was a requirement for immigrants. It really doesn't seem fair to force this on the girl. I mean, HPV is a very widespread STI that can cause cervical cancer, but there are also some risks with the vaccine. I mean, I cringe when reading about the 'virginity pledge', etc… and I'm all for good sex ed and protection, but it really doesn't seem fair to force this girl to take the vaccine.
(via perigee-syzygy)
Most of the unauthorized immigrants Human Rights Watch interviewed have lived in the US for at least 10 years, and many have US citizen children. These numbers are mirrored nationwide, as recent research shows nearly two-thirds of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the US at least 10 years, and nearly half are parents of minor children. What is happening in Alabama demonstrates that enforcement-only efforts targeted at unauthorized immigrants are likely also to compromise the rights of US citizens and permanent residents and to harm the communities and economies that depend on them.
Over and over in Alabama, we heard immigrants assert their humanity and declare, 'Legal or illegal, I'm human,'" Meng said. "Alabama should recognize the humanity and fundamental rights of all the state's residents and immediately repeal the Beason-Hammon Act.""—(via ponderaway)

Obama re-nominates his unconstitutional NLRB appointees
After being smacked down in Federal court for his unconstitutional appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, President Obama is re-nominating his appointees. This time, they will have to get Senate approval before going to work.
from the Hill:
President Obama on Wednesday asked the Senate to confirm two members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) whose recess appointments were ruled unconstitutional.
Obama sent the Senate a package of nominations that included NLRB Members Sharon Block and Richard Griffin, who were both installed at the agency in a show of power that was ruled invalid by a federal court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled last month that Block and Griffin's recess appointments to the NLRB were unconstitutional. Since then, Republicans have sought to challenge decisions made by the labor board during the tenures of Block and Griffin, which began in January 2012.
Forty GOP senators sent a letter Block and Griffin last month urging them to step down. Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) have also introduced legislation that would freeze work at the NLRB and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) due to the controversy over the recess appointments.
The White House said it disagrees with the court ruling. The administration is expected to appeal the decision.
I think the GOP should block the nominations and urge the courts to invalidate the hundreds of regulations that these unconstitutional appointees have made in the last few months.

Washington Redskins free agent wide receiver Josh Morgan was baffled that he lost his job to Leonard Hankerson last season, and he seems determined to put himself back on the map as a chain-moving WR3. Morgan offers no playmaking ability and isn't a starter in this league, but he's a decent backup who has solid hands, veteran savvy, and knows how to set the edge as a blocking receiver.
According to ESPN Radio 980's Chris Russell, the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers are the "leaders" for Morgan, and there are actually six teams interested in the veteran wideout. Lesser free agents like Morgan are hotter commodities now that free agency has died down, and it's going to be interesting to see if he decides to reunite with the 49ers (he spent the first four seasons of his career there) or joins the WR-desperate Panthers as effectively Brandon LaFell's replacement (they have some similarities between them such as blocking and size).
It's going to be interesting to see where the 6'1″, 220 pound receiver lands, and I think he's going to end up with the Panthers. Not only does he fit them better despite his time in San Francisco, but they also need him much more. If they still can't add him, then Dave Gettelman will draw even more criticism.
Morgan caught just 20 passes last season, but the 28-year-old Virginia Tech product did snag 48 passes for 510 yards the year before in a decent enough season.

You are in your consultation room. You've done your homework. You've gathered your radiographs, exam notes, your study models, your photos. Now you're waiting for Mrs. Peterson to arrive so you may present her treatment plan. Mrs. Peterson walks in, sits down, and smiles. You make pleasant conversation, and you begin. You make a clean, thorough presentation. She smiles, crosses her legs, nods, and asks relevant questions. You answer them professionally. Details are discussed - time and appointments needed, informed consent, alternatives, and financing.
"Well, Mrs. Peterson? When would you like to proceed? Are mornings or afternoons better for you?"
We and our patients make hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day - many insignificant, many consequential. How do we make those decisions? Many are made consciously after much deliberation. In our offices, we gather what we've learned from academia and past experiences, process that information, and make a logical decision. Our patients do the same through what they have learned and experienced - making their own thoughtful, deliberate, conscious decisions.
There is a second decision making strategy, however. It operates much more quickly below the level of consciousness. Malcolm Gladwell, in his book blink,* calls it "fast and frugal". The part of our brain called the adaptive unconscious acts as a giant computer, quickly and quietly processing large quantities of information and making instant calculations before our conscious brain goes to work. We are thereby capable of making very quick judgments on very little information. We do this unconsciously when we meet someone for the first time, when we interview someone for a job, or react to a new idea. Our patients may similarly react to our treatment plans.
Society is generally skeptical of this kind of seemingly flighty cognition. We assume the more time and effort taken in making the decision, the better the decision. Doctors order more tests in offering a diagnosis. Patients seek second opinions. We teach our children - haste makes waste, look before you leap, stop and think, don't judge a book by its cover. We trust only exhaustive, meticulous decision making. However, snap decisions and first impressions, studies demonstrate, are often every bit as accurate as decisions made more cautiously.
This rapid cognition Gladwell calls "thin-slicing". It is our brain's ability to quickly "find patterns in situations and behavior based on very narrow slices of experience."* At Mrs. Peterson's consultation visit, for example, let's say you do not listen to her concerns. Perhaps you talk down to her and do not treat her respectfully. Mrs. Peterson will listen to her gut feeling and not accept treatment. That is thin-slicing. She is unconsciously drawing on her previous experience of others treating her similarly and how she felt then and rapidly making her decision from that.
Thin-slicing is a central part of being human. We thin-slice because we have to, particularly during times when it's crunch time - when we don't have time to deliberate. Basketball players call it "court sense". We may call it "street smarts". It is a mysterious phenomenon. We need to accept the fact that it is possible to know something without knowing.
Please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or fax us at (612) 339-3618. We look forward to hearing from you not only regarding this article, but also if you have any ethical dilemmas you would like to present to the membership. Perhaps we can help you decide what to do.

City Greens Market moved out of the basement of the old St. Cronan school into a wonderfully renovated storefront at 4260 Manchester Avenue "in the Grove". Over $92,000 in donations from members, supporters, foundations and businesses allowed City Greens to move into its own space. The remaining funds will be used in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 market years to offset costs with the goal of sustainability by membership for the 3rd year.
Our new location at 4260 Manchester is located just around the corner from our previous site on Boyle Ave. Stop in and check out the space and all the new products we have added to the market. Many thanks to all who contributed, all our new members and everyone who believes in our goal of "Food for All!"
The mission of City Greens is to provide access to fresh, quality and affordable produce to neighbors, to promote healthy living in the community, and to provide space for members to interact. We recognize the importance of knowing where our food comes from and supporting local farmers as part of our extended community.
At City Greens we believe nutritious food is an essential component of a happy and healthy life. Food is our body's fuel. Our community should have access to healthy, fresh, and affordable choices to fuel our bodies and minds. People unite around food--sharing meals and memories with family, friends and neighbors. At City Greens our community is uniting to make sure each of us has the opportunity to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables - from the good earth to our family's tables. Opened in 2009, City Greens is a community market, in collaboration with St. Francis Community Services-Midtown Center and local Missouri farmers and producers.
The following organizations are already members of City Greens for the 2014-2015 season. Each of these businesses has purchased memberships for their employees by making a donation of $500. This membership covers up to 10 employees at each business.

Toll-quality telephony versus Internet or cable modem telephony. What are the quality and delay targets in IP-telephony and cable telephony? What are the consumer expectations? Is there a business case for AM-radio-grade telephony? What is the competitive landscape?
Audio/video streaming at lite-ADSL, cable modem, and wireless speeds. Are user expectations going to be tied to television quality? What is the longevity of partial-screen solutions? What is the competitive landscape?
Uploading of information from a home. What are the primary cases for upload-speed on demand? What are the demands of such applications as telemedicine, teleworking, home publishing? Is there a case for symmetric uplink and downlink?
Definitive answers to these questions do not exist, but as applications mature, it will be possible to understand and quantify them at least implicitly and qualitatively.
At this time, compression technologies are mature. Although it is difficult to define the fundamental limits in the game, typical data rates for specified levels of quality are generally known. Increasing compression ratios will become the preoccupation of specialists. Likewise, decoders and clients will become pervasive and affordable. New advances in first mile and first meters multimedia communications will depend increasingly on advances in access speed and on innovations in networking.

Stones From Space Help
Stones From Space
An intense meteor shower is an unforgettable spectacle. So is a single large meteor as it lights up the sky, creates a sonic boom, and leaves a lingering trail. The Native Americans called these objects shooting stars . Other people called them falling stars . This is not surprising; in the absence of information to the contrary, that is what they look like. In the more recent past, some European immigrants to North America in the 1700s theorized that meteorites formed in Earth's atmosphere as a by-product of the lightning in thunderstorms. We know today that meteors and meteorites do indeed come from space.
Meteoroid Origins
When the Solar System was much younger and the planets had formed but had not yet reached their present stable states, there was more debris in inter-planetary space than is the case now. The most popular theories of the origin of the Solar System involve the accretion of the Sun and planets from a rotating disk of gas and dust. Planets formed at certain distances from the central Sun. Some of the planets developed satellite systems of their own, like Solar Systems in miniature; Jupiter and Saturn are the most notable of these.
Most of the material in the primordial gas/dust disk made its way into the Sun and the planets. Some of the stuff, however, was left over. Some simply remained as gas and dust; some congealed into pebbles, rocks, boulders, and asteroids. Many of these smashed into the young planets and moons, forming craters. However, there are still plenty of space rocks out there. They, like their predecessors, are engaged in an incredibly complicated gravitational dance among themselves and the planets. Jupiter is the "conductor" of a vast "orchestra" of such rocks. Unlike a human orchestra conductor, though, Jupiter does not always maintain rhythm and harmony among its subjects. Often a rock is thrust into an orbit that puts it in a path where it has the potential to strike the Earth. Then it becomes a meteoroid. When we find one of these objects on the surface of our planet, we know the rest of the story!
Craters provide dramatic evidence of past meteorite bombardment on planets having little or no atmosphere. The Moon is the most familiar example. Mars is another. Mercury is still another. Most of the moons of the outer planets have craters.
We don't see many craters on our planet because blowing dust and sand and falling rain have eroded them entirely or at least beyond recognition. No craters have ever been seen on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune; these gas giants are not believed to have solid surfaces on which craters can form. This is not to say that these planets haven't escaped bombardment by space debris but only that rocks from space leave no signatures on them.
Meteorite craters tend to be much larger than the objects that make them. This is because of the tremendous force that accompanies the crash landing of an object at several kilometers per second. Large meteorites form craters with central hills or small mountains. The rims of large craters form circular mountain ranges that can rise well above the surrounding terrain and several kilometers above the crater floor.
Some meteorite craters have rays , which appear as streaks radiating outward from the point of impact, and which can extend from the rim of the crater out to several times the diameter of the crater. Rays are produced by debris hurled up into the sky by the force of the impact and are especially prominent in craters produced by meteorites that struck the surface at a sharp angle.
Figure 11-6 A is a cross-sectional diagram of a typical large meteorite crater of the type commonly found on the Moon or Mercury. Figure 11-6 B is a top-view diagram of a similar crater.

Windows 7/Windows XP
Sounds cut short
My Windows 7 (and also XP on a dual-boot) logon sound should play as 'Welcome to my castle, stay for a spell!' This works fine when in 'XP'. However, when it plays in '7' it seems I barely hear the entire 'Welcome' and it drops the rest. Have noted that in the Media folder most of the sounds indicate a length of 00:00:00. One of the longer ones is 'Flush' at :05. Believe either a Windows log on or off is the longest at 00:00:12. These all seem to play O.K. under 'XP' and due to the shortness of many they seem to be O.K. also - but the longer ones get cut short. Any ideas???? Is a 'Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Audio card. Have just D/L'd the new driver material and applied same and that did not help. Also note problem with sound viewing videos on-line (like in CNN.com news) - very muffled. No issues with sound on MusicMatchJukebox, Windows Media Player, etc. Seems to be limited to internet issue - perhaps the browser? I use Firefox as the primary one but this problem is in IE also. Must be something simple I'm missing I hope?????

What exactly IS Forensics?
For those who watch a lot of crime drama on TV you might have looked at this page thinking we were a collegiate CSI team – if that's you – you are wrong (that is forensic science – they shorten it to forensics). Forensics is the oldest academic study still in use today. Aristotle coined the term over 2 millennium ago as a type of judicial or legal type of speaking. As forensic competitors we examine the politics and policies that face our world today through a variety of public speaking events: parliamentary debate; limited prep events; platform speeches as well as interpretive events. For more information on what these events are see link to description of events.
What do we do?
VU Forensics competes in local and national tournaments in a variety of events. To be on the travel team you must be competitive in at least 3 events, be a team member in good standing as well as uphold high academic status.
While members of this team are highly competitive, competition is not the only purpose of competitive speaking. We find that competitive speaking, through any event, builds academic and social success through enhancing important communication and critical thinking skills. In fact, several of our competitors have said that preparation for competitive speaking has made them better scholars by teaching them organization, time management and critical thinking.
It is important to note that the VU team is not "all work and no play." The VU team has put people at its core allowing for wonderful life-long friendships to be built. Additionally, we spend between 8 and 10 weekends away from campus each year allowing us to make friendships with students at other collegiate campuses (both secular and religious).
Why do we do it?
Members of this team compete because it's fun, because you'll meet people, because it will make you a more critical thinker, a better speaker, and for most competitors on this team a better student. Not to mention that what you learn as a forensic competitor will benefit you in the long run. If you are interested in what famous people have competed in forensics check out the link "famous forensicators". If that's not enough reason to join, consider this: In a recent survey of Who's Who, forensics was chosen as the single most valuable class the people surveyed had taken in school. Additionally, the number one skill that employers want is the ability to communicate well – how better to dress your future resume than with competitive speaking?
You're convinced and you want to know how to join.
There are two ways to be involved with the VU Forensics Team.
First, you can participate at the club level. You don't need any prior forensics experience to be a member. Nor do we expect this level to take over your life. If you want to "dabble" in forensics you will be required to compete at two local tournaments in just a single prepared event.
The most dedicated, however, are the travel competitors. They attend at least seven regular season tournaments and various national tournaments (NCCFI and either the AFA-NIET or NPDA Debate Championships). There are several additional requirements for the travel team. First, they are expected to make individual coaching appointments above the required team meetings; second, they are required to do substantial research; third, they are required to be competitive in a minimum of three separate events; and finally, travel competitors are required to hold a minimum G.P.A. of 3.0 or above. In exchange for the increased demands for travel competitors, they often receive a substantial scholarship as an additional perk.
Aditionally, both club and travel competitors can take introduction to argumentation and debate or advanced argumentation and debate.
So, what if you've never done forensics?
Excellent! No experience is needed to join. We offer a debate camp the week before classes begin to teach the basics (and some advanced teaching as well) of debate. Instruction on all individual events will come as the year unfolds. All that's required is a desire to be a better speaker and the commitment to actually become a better speaker. If you are willing to work, your coaching staff is willing to help you accomplish your competitive goals. For club members, any tournament you attend will have a novice (no experience/first year) division for you to compete in. As you begin to compete and improve, you will move into more advanced competition.
A good introductory text (the one we use) is: Burden of Proof: An Introduction to Argumentation and Debate (3rd ed) by Mark R. Crossman.
You're interested but want to know how much it costs.
Other than having professional attire (suits, dress shoes); some school supplies you already own (a couple of pens, a highlighter, sticky notes and some paper); and your valuable time, the only expense to you is a timer (about $10 at Target) and a debate text book. Vanguard has provided us with a budget that covers travel and other expenses. In fact, it might be worth your time to join because if you look at the next section (Scholarships) the team might actually help you PAY for your education!
Are scholarships available?
Yes! If you have a good work ethic and maintain eligibility for the travel team we offer a nice scholarship package. For more information contact Karen Nishie directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
New and transfer students with competitive forensics experience are also eligible for awards. These awards are conditional and require meeting in person with the Director of Forensics within a week of joining the team.

Had a call from Mifsud today, the 40D arrives tomorrow.(£599.00 then £100.00 back from canon) Thanks one and all for the help and advice.Jaksmac the link was a great help. Hope to upload soon with some images from the new camera.
Well I kept my 300D for 4 years, and think that 5 years will be possible for the 40D. and then you have the differences to think of, handling etc.
I am guessing his 10D is 4 to 5 years old, and why not? Lets face it many of us need no more that 10 or 12mp, and if we like the images today. A 10D can still produce good images today.
It depends on your individual needs and how mch use your camera gets. Mine rarely last more than 2 years. Just had a canon MKIIN develop the well known banding at high ISO's. The solution is a new imager unit at £950 plus a couple of hundred labour. It's 2 years old and has done over 600,000 frames so it has been written off and replaced by another MKIII.

If you were up late last night, you might have notice a familiar phrase on a t-shirt worn by one of the musical guests on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Lead singer J. Robbins is the guitarist and lead singer of Jawbox, which made its first appearance since 1997 during the show. Robbins' was front and center, wearing a Fight SMA t-shirt! His son, Callum, has spinal muscular atrophy, and in the past few years J. has become a great voice in the SMA community.

It's our 15th podcast episode, we've been doing this Spectrm thing for 2 years and we thought we'd show you what we're doing right about now. It's a Spectrm Second Birthday Mix.
Those blends start with Markings showcasing the tunes and the general vibe he's feeling right now, having spent 7 months living in Brighton scene. An atmospheric opening leads on to a techno base with the blips of Shifted's new release on Avian and State's forthcoming 'Coding' leading the mix. The second half of this hour podcast is mixed by Marcx, whose time spent playing and producing 140BPM, grime influenced tunes in the past months is clearly visible in his blends. A healthy dose of Hip Hop from Travis Porter and new bits from the likes of Samename, Rabit, Breen & Annoy, not to mention his own dubplates, make for a serious journey.
This mix is a nice reflection of where we're at with Spectrm and our own escapades right now and where we see ourselves moving in the next year. Biggup all those that make Spectrm worth doing, it ain't gonna be stopping soon, trus'. xox

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit beauty dropped by Young Hollywood Studios to plug "Just Go With It" as she bides her time while hubby Andy Roddick is busy partaking in the Australian Open tennis tournament in the Land Down Under.
Certainly set to make all of the guys out there drool, Brooklyn Decker is featured in the February 2011 issue of Esquire magazine.
Stripping down in the buff for the cover, the blonde bombshell posed seductively for the popular men's magazine in a spread of scantily clad shots adorning the pages.

Allison Jones had a terrific career.
She was on the rise as a software engineer.
Her Upper West Side apartment was certainly great.
However, to meet expenses, she needed a roommate.
Concerning the high rent, there was some doubt.
That started when she asked her fiancée to move out.
After an exhaustive search, the right one came one day.
Hedy Carlson was the girl who would stay.
Allie, how were you supposed to know?
There was tragedy in Hedy's life long ago.
Her twin sister met an early demise.
Personal guilt was something Hedy would surmise.
Hedy's real name was Ellen, and she had a quirky past.
Allie figured this relationship should not last.
Ellen's dark episodes left plenty of room for doubt.
How did things turn out? Rent the DVD and check it out.
Based on the 1992 film "Single White Female".

Today, I was laying around thinking about relationships, and the various feelings one experiences when a relationship comes to an end. In response to the end of a seemingly bad relationship, because EVERY experience comes bearing lessons, the individual will say, "I'll never be in a relationship" or "I'll never trust men/women". And I was thinking… the problem isn't that you trusted this man or woman. I think what the bigger focal point is..you don't know if YOU can trust YOURSELF enough to choose someone that will not hurt you again. There's certainly a layer of mistrust with yourself that must be dealt with. Because, the honest truth is, people are not out to get you. Your life is made up of experiences customized for your evolvement and growth. So, it's actually fine to feel perhaps hurt and a little bit upset with yourself. It's fine. But it's important that you come to terms with the experience and derive the lesson. Because if you don't, I can guarantee you that this situation will play out in a different way bearing the SAME lesson JUST in a different form. If you believe people are out to get you, that people are mistrustful, you'll attract those circumstances into existence. It will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. NOT because there aren't people out there capable of having a loving relationship with you, but because, you're not conscious enough to spot out those experiences.

Seven hundred and ten pages?! Yowsers. Nonetheless it is encouraging to see this type of news continually coming from China, at least it isn't being censored. The real trick will be how they actually do something about it.

|News on Alcohol Marketing
After Brazil 2014, beer ban possibly also scratched for 2018 World Cup in Russia
24 January 2012
As reported earlier by IOGT, FIFA is pressuring Brazil, the host of the 2014 World Cup, to amend its legal prohibition of alcohol retail in football stadiums. Now it seems that the interests of the alcohol industry might have already been safeguarded for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as Vladimir Putin has promised to consider lifting the recently introduced ban on selling beer in Russian stadiums.
The Russian prime minister voiced his considerations on beer retail in stadiums during the 2018 World Cup at a meeting with football fans. The fans argued against the beer ban, and pointed to the situation in many European countries where there are no prohibitions on sale of alcohol in stadiums. Putin replied that: "One should know his norm -- once he's drunk three liters it's time to calm down and stop."

Quick kids craft: paper butterfly {with template}
My (twin) sister came up with this 'paper butterfly' idea and all our kids (as different as they are) love them.
We usually do the cutting-out and then we hand them over to the kids to decorate. Once they have embellished to their hearts content we tape a skewer or straw onto the body of the butterfly then the kids run around giving them a good old flap! Easy!
I usually just cut them out freehand but if you want a template you can download one here!
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend. My little boy still recovering from his tonsillectomy (I guess when the doctors told me it would be a two week recovery peroid they really did mean two weeks). My eldest son also had a great first week at school. He's been pretty tired though and tried to pull a sicky on day three…didn't take long for the novelty to wear off!!

This is so very gorgeous – for big kids too. Thanks for sharing!
I don't remember mine ever looking quite so posh Kate! Love ya… sis xxx
Thank you for sharing! It is a great craft and deco idea
thanks for this! my two girls 3 and 18 months pounced on this and we've done it two days in a row. I stuck them onto a chopstick with sticky tape and they've loved flapping their butterflies around the house!!
Thanks a lot for the pattern for the butterfly. It will be fun to do some stuff with my niece & nephew 2nd grade & 4 year old.
Great craft! My younger children (4 and 9 years) jumped on this. We printed out the template and they made their butterflies with very little help, and have spent well over an hour "flapping" them around the yard.
I've been passing the link around — thank you for sharing!
This is very cute , i would love to try this with my daughter too

The latest video from BrotherhoodWorkshop is short, so there's not a whole lot to say about it. Just watch it. And laugh.

Unsatisfied with your LEGO Wii? Kooberz has the answer.
(Pssst… All you need is a bunch more LEGO and an iPad. Easy!)
Will Chapman over at BrickArms was featured on yesterday's episode of Evening Magazine here in Seattle. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, everyone else in the world can now watch the segment, in which Will talks about the origins of his business and his creative process, and shows off some of the equipment he uses in his shop.
Alex Kobbs of Kooberz Studios posted his LEGO Portal video back in December, but it looks like we only featured the behind-the scenes video. I recently finished Portal 2 again, and Alex posted about the video on Flickr, so now seems as good a time as any to highlight the main video.
Since this is Part 1, I wonder when Part 2 will be out. Can't wait!
BrotherhoodWorkshop presents another amusing installment of their LEGO Lord of the Rings videos, this time featuring the Ent Treebeard — along with the usual orcs.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas, full of boxes under the tree that rattle in that very special way.
LEGO Galaxy Squad was just released, and here's my review of 3 of the sets from the theme featuring the alien bug race: 70700 Space Swarmer, 70702 Warp Stinger, and 70703 Star Slicer. The video review consists of a look at the parts and a review of the models.
For those who just want to hear the verdict, I like the Space Swarmer for its compact design and the Warp Stinger for its decent design and good price. However, I am not much of a fan of the Star Slicer due to the flimsy looks of the mantis.
All three LEGO Galaxy Squad sets are now available from the LEGO Shop.
Not much explanation is needed…just that this creation by H.Y. Leung (Mr. Attacki) is awesome.
The latest video from BrotherhoodWorkshop gives us a behind-the-scenes view of what happened during the Battle of Helm's Deep.
The whole video is funny, but the punchline at the end is priceless.
You might think that stop-motion animation is just a matter of taking lots of sequential photos, but there's a lot more to it than that. Kevin Ulrich shares his experience creating the popular Hobbit and Lord of the Rings shorts we've featured here over the past few months.
Like all movies and TV, I would argue myself that what actually makes the BrotherhoodWorkshop shorts so great is excellent writing. Can't wait to see what they post next!
Back in 2009, the Internet marveled at Japanese builder talapz's mind-boggling pop-up Kinkaku-ji pavilion. Now, he's at it again! This time, he's built Todai-ji, a temple in Nara, Japan that houses the world's largest bronze statue of Buddha.
Nara was one of Japan's first capitol cities, before Kyoto and Tokyo. Todai-ji and the Giant Buddha (Daibutsu) are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, encompassing treasures from the period of ancient Japan (AD 710-794) that shares the city's name.
For those of you inclined to try building your own pop-up Todai-ji, there is hope! In the second half of the video, talapz provides step-by-step instructions (449 steps) to build your own pop-up Todai-ji temple from a parts list — complete with Bricklink IDs — of 8816 LEGO elements. Good luck!

Great Moving Timeline & Tips #infographic #moving
There is a fantastic new website online for all your cross-country moving needs. Learn how to do everything from packing, planning, prepping, hiring movers, renting a moving truck, and more here. Before you make your move across the country, check out the quality information here written by a professional mover (me)!
Moving out of state takes a lot of advance preparation. There is more than one way to go about the process. One can make the move themselves or hire professionals to do the job. There are advantages to each.
Hiring professionals to do the job saves effort, time, potential physical injuries, and aggravation. If choosing to hire movers, it is important to make sure the company has any required licensing, insurance, gives a written estimate, and has references. Most important of all, review the contract thoroughly and ask for clarifications if necessary before signing. There are several items to consider when hiring out of state movers including:
I highly recommend comparing prices from multiple out of state moving companies to find the cheapest deals available. The best site for doing that is here: http://www.cheapmovingtips.com/free-moving-quotes/
Some consider moving themselves more advantageous. The boxes are all packed , marked, and handled as you wish, you control the time-frame of the move, and it generally saves a great deal of money. Be sure and rent a truck that will hold all of your belongings. If the move is on the same coast, it may be worth calculating if it is more beneficial to get a one way truck or go round trip. If going one way, be sure and figure in the price of towing your vehicle if there isn't another driver following. Calculating gas is also crucial. Other considerations and cost saving measures include:
Moving out of state can be equally exciting and nerve-racking. Whether you choose to move yourself or hire professional out of state movers, having and plan and doing thorough research are the keys to eliminating the stress and enjoying the adventure.
For more money-saving tips for your move out of state, visit this comprehensive guide. It breaks down all of the different ways to move out of state for cheap, no matter the size or weight of your move.

The Girl in the Mirror Pt. 2
Fifteen minutes for a lunch break was shit. It was widely known throughout the office that their boss was a ladder-climbing Manhattan bitch, but she'd taken a particular dislike to Clara as of recently.
The twenty-first floor women's restroom was empty. Most of the girls had gone for lunch half an hour ago. Clara didn't have enough time to go pick anything up and she wasn't hungry enough for vending machine junk. Instead, she grabbed her purse and thought she'd freshen up before their meeting at three.
Bending over the counter top, Clara carefully reapplied her red lipstick. She glanced into the mirror to her left and angled her body so that she could make sure her button-up was still tucked into her pencil skirt. Straightening back up, Clara looked into the mirror to her right and tousled her dark waves, then looked back to the center mirror to survey her entire self.
Her reflection was looking back at her. Clara's heart pounded. It wasn't exactly her eyes staring back, but the reflection's. It didn't make any sense, but it was happening again. This time, there were three.
The reflections looked hungry. Their eyes were tapered and dark as the three of them broke free of their confines. Steadily, two of the reflections lowered themselves down from the counter. The other, the center reflection, remained seated with her legs spread.
Clara looked over at the bathroom door. What would happen if anyone came in? What would they see? She couldn't tell whether this was real, or if she was going insane.
The center reflection smirked. "We're very real, Clara…" she tugged her pencil skirt up her own thighs to expose the soft skin where the thigh-highs ended.
The left reflection approached Clara, touched a cool hand to her cheek and kissed her deeply. The lipstick felt like satin against Clara's lips. The reflection slid her tongue inside and traced the roof of her mouth. Clara shut her eyes longingly. The right reflection began running her hands over Clara's body, feeling her breasts over her shirt, down her stomach, and across her hips.
"Undress me," Clara demanded suddenly.
The right reflection obliged. She started with the top button and worked her way down, tugging the shirt out of her pencil skirt. Clara allowed her to slip it off her arms and let it fall to the tiles. Keeping her eyes trained on the center reflection who was poised on the counter, rubbing herself under her skirt, over her panties. The sight of Clara's own body made her wet. The right reflection unclasped her bra.
"Undress yourself now. Both of you." She spoke to the left and right.
Both reflections did as they were told. The center reflection kept her eyes on Clara, moaning quietly, her legs spreading farther apart. The left reflection slipped off her heels. Lifting her skirt she unfastened her garter belt from her stockings and slowly began to peel them off her legs. The right began with her shirt, then slowly removed her bra. The two reflections removed their skirts and panties together and stood on either side of Clara perfectly naked, their nipples hard in the cold bathroom.
Still fully dressed, the center reflection propped both her feet up onto the counter with her knees wide apart. She the wetness of her panties with two fingers, her head back against the mirror.
"Get on your knees," Clara said to the left reflection. She crossed over to Clara and lowered herself down. Without waiting for another command she pushed Clara's thighs apart and pulled her panties down to her knees from beneath her skirt. She lifted the skirt up enough to kiss Clara's wet pussy, sucking on her clit and running her tongue across the extent of it. She made Clara shudder with pleasure.
"Come here," she breathed to the right reflection. Clara took the girl's breasts in her hands, her breasts, and massaged them, feeling the hard nipples against her palms. They filled her hands, and when the girl opened her lips to moan, Clara pushed her tongue into her mouth and sucked hard on the reflection's tongue, still squeezing her breasts.
Opening her eyes and pulling away, Clara looked back at the center reflection, still massaging her clit through her panties. "Finger yourself." The right reflection moved so that she was sucking on Clara's neck and licking her collar bone.
The center reflection pulled the panties aside and pushed in two fingers, groaning. She fingered herself rhythmically, her head back against the mirror again, her eyes shut in ecstasy.
The left reflection slipped her tongue up inside of Clara. She whimpered and then bent her head down to take the right reflection's nipple into her mouth. She swirled her tongue around it and sucked hard, nibbling lightly. With one hand on the back of the left reflection's head, she used her free hand to rub her fingers in the right reflection's wetness. It was hot and slippery. The bathroom echoed with their catching breathes.
The right reflection pressed Clara's face hard against her breasts and then dragged her fingernails up Clara's arching back. Just as the left reflection began to lick faster and thrust her tongue inside of her deeper, the right reflection lowered a hand down to massage her clit.
Clara looked at the center reflection and watched her fingering herself. "Put another finger in," she ordered huskily. When the center reflection worked the third finger in Clara's knees weakened and she felt herself cumming. She pulled her mouth away from the right reflection's breasts. The reflection began to suck and lick Clara's nipples in return as she stiffened and came on the left reflections lips and chin. She let out a sharp cry of relief and then opened her eyes.
Clara's clothes were scattered across the women's restroom. Her thighs were glistening wet and her lipstick was smeared. There was a sheen of sweat across her forehead, but her reflections stared lustily back at her from behind the mirrors…

6/20 Harvest - Not so Grand Debut of Turnip Greens
26 comments:
- Malay-Kadazan girl said...
Wonderful that you have all-year round chilies. Your turnip look so much better than ours. I never can grow them well. They always turn woody and won't grow round but long-tapered root. How does russian kale taste like? We grow them for the first time this year.
- June 20, 2011 at 5:39 AM
- Dan Owen said...
Every year that I've gardened has brought with it little islands of success along with many outright disasters. That's all part of the 'fun' of trying to wrest good things to eat from what can be a cantankerous ground. Keep smiling and don't stop growing!
- June 20, 2011 at 7:55 AM
- RandomGardener said...
Nice Harvest! Is that rows of spinach I see in the turnip pic?
Ha ha! We've got those 'Eating only because we grew them' going on at home too!
- June 20, 2011 at 9:28 AM
- thyme2garden said...
MK girl - right now I think our turnip roots look more long-tapered rather than round. I'm hoping that changes in the coming weeks. I really like Red Russian kale, just steamed or stir-fried. I think it would taste good in soups, too. And it's been growing nonstop in my mom's garden in California, so I'm hoping for similar luck in our Indiana garden this year.
Dan Owen - where would we be without a few garden disasters to keep us in check? :-)
RandomGardener - what you see in the turnip pic is mostly swiss chard, with manoa lettuce in the back. Here's to eating what we grow!
- June 20, 2011 at 9:42 AM
- Allison at Novice Life said...
ha - too funny about the turnips, but they look nice :)
- June 20, 2011 at 9:44 AM
- Annie's Granny said...
I'm with you on the turnips. Mine were wasted space in the garden, as neither of us will eat them or their greens. Only the wire worms found them delectable!
- June 20, 2011 at 1:52 PM
- Barbie said...
That's funny my hubby eats the half bitter lettuce, too. Go figure.
- June 20, 2011 at 1:57 PM
- Gingerbreadshouse7 said...
That's a grand harvest, no matter how the turnip greens weren't the best.. I love the bitter taste of them.
- June 20, 2011 at 3:03 PM
- zentmrs said...
We've had a bunch of turnips in our CSA box lately... and I'm not a fan either. Good to experiment though!
- June 20, 2011 at 4:03 PM
- Nartaya said...
Good for Keith for trying them though! My hubs tries everything, even when he is sure he won't like it, we are trying to get the boys (esp the older one) to do the same. I find the taste of turnip greens too strong on their own, but they mellow out in a broth based soup.
- June 20, 2011 at 4:36 PM
- gardenvariety-hoosier said...
I'm not sure why turnips exist. Rutabaga and kohlrabi make a milder bulb and there are many greens better than turnip greens.
- June 20, 2011 at 6:22 PM
- Hanni said...
I did not know you could overwinter cayenne...learn something new every day! :)
- June 20, 2011 at 8:21 PM
- Shawn Ann said...
It's a nice harvest even with the turnips. Not a fan myself! I still have a drawer full of lettuce, but none left in the garden. I gave the rest to my momma!
- June 20, 2011 at 9:53 PM
- Alicia@ eco friendly homemaking said...
Looks like you were blessed with lots to harvest. It all looks great!
- June 20, 2011 at 11:07 PM
- kitsapFG said...
I grow turnips and absolutely will not eat the tops (I hate them - not a fan of bitter flavors) and only use a light amount of the roots for some odds and ends eating... so you might ask ... why do I grow them then?! I grow them because my hens LOVE the tops and like the roots all chopped up too! :D
I think it is so cool that you have been successful with that overwintered pepper.
- June 21, 2011 at 12:06 AM
- Daphne said...
I guess I've never eaten turnip greens alone. I've always tossed them into mixed things. So though I've eaten them, I don't really know what they taste like. The only turnips I grow though are the Japanese turnips/salad turnips. Which I love fresh or cooked. I've never been a big fan of regular turnips. I wonder if their tops taste the same or not.
- June 21, 2011 at 7:18 AM
- Brie said...
Ha! I am with you on the greens. Boiled with bacon is good, yet salty/fattening. You need pounds and pounds to get one serving.... There are disadvantages, but they grow so easily and tolerate neglect so well...
- June 21, 2011 at 9:59 AM
- Jody said...
You have such a great variety. I don't think we'd know what to do with it all. Very nice harvest.
- June 21, 2011 at 11:48 AM
- michelle said...
Were the turnip greens really bitter, like rapini? I think they're closely related. I'm going to try growing some this year but for the roots not the greens, the chickens will get the greens. I'm amazed by your indoor pepper plant, every time I try to overwinter a pepper plant it ends up full of aphids and I have to put it out before the weather gets warm enough.
- June 21, 2011 at 2:09 PM
- thyme2garden said...
Allison - thank you. But when it comes to vegetables, I think we prefer better flavor over looks. :)
Granny - Keith said "SEE, even GRANNY doesn't like them."
Barbie - the half bitter actually became more like quarter-bitter after a day in the fridge!
Gingerbreadshouse7 - I think you're in the minority here, but I do realize that people have varied tastes.
zentmrs - ah experiments, yes, I guess that's the positive way of looking at it. :)
- June 21, 2011 at 11:28 PM
- Annie's Granny said...
HAH! Granny loves Keith, LOL!!
- June 21, 2011 at 11:31 PM
- thyme2garden said...
Nartaya - hmm, broth based soup may actually be a great idea for turnip greens. I'll have to try that next time, although we don't eat too much soup around here, especially not in this kind of heat!
gardenvariety-hoosier - I haven't tried rutabaga and kohlrabi, but that's one great thing about gardening; there are always new vegetables to try!
Hanni - I have several posts on how I overwintered my cayenne indoors, if you're interested!
Shawn Ann - thank you! It must be nice to have family nearby to share vegetables!
Alicia - thanks!
kitsapFG - you're a good hen-mommy!
Daphne - in addition to soups, I may try mixing them with other greens like you said, to try to "mask" their flavor. Thanks for the ideas!
Brie - bacon makes everything better, right?
Jody - thank you!
michelle - you know, it wasn't so much the bitterness, but the flavor of the green just wasn't that good. I don't know how to explain the flavor other than that it was not the good green flavor that I enjoy in all kinds of Asian greens (bok choy, tatsoi, etc), kale, chard, or even spinach. And our overwintered pepper plant did not get one single aphid on it. Does this mean that it's guaranteed to be aphid-free as long as it keeps staying indoors? Hmm, I guess there's only one way to find out!

Granny - I now feel obligated to tell you that Keith also followed that statement with "...and Granny's really SMART!" I wasn't going to tell you about this part lest your head get really big, but ah well, I guess you can always get a bigger garden hat. :-)

You two have me in stitches! Yes, I'll definitely need a bigger hat.

Keep up the good work!

Enjoy your gardening blog. Thank you for sharing tips. Just curious....have you tried Japanese cucumber? Have a try and you will see some monster cukes with very little effort.

First Pops, now cousin. Gone. Out the door.
I guess that's how family businesses work in these tough economic times.
Both father (Tony Eury Sr., former competition director) and son (Tony Eury Jr.) have left JR Motorsports in the last couple of weeks.
The following is a statement from Dale Earnhardt Jr., founder and owner of JR Motorsports, regarding the departure of crew chief Tony Eury Jr.:
"Unfortunately Tony Jr. is no longer with the company. I had hoped he would be here for a long time, but as we've discussed the direction of JR Motorsports moving forward, it was clear our differences in ideas were too vast to overcome.
"I love him like a brother, and you'll never hear me say a bad thing about him. I know he'll have much success in anything he does going forward. As for our No. 7 team, no decision has been made on who will crew chief that team this weekend at Kentucky Speedway. We will discuss our options and make a decision very soon."
What role, if any, could Danica Patrick have played in the ouster of her crew chief for the No. 7 team? Who knows. Her lackluster performance this season certainly must have had something to do with this decision, however.
Good luck to whoever gets the task of turning around the GoDaddy girl's performance.
