Ignore the bloodlines and heritages of this blog's writers. Let's go jus soli for a minute. The 100 Worst People on Twitter is a text that could only have been born in England. There's a smallness of the soul unique to this land. The bloodright of Albion is pettiness, chemtrails of cynicism and pessimism pumped out by Bakers' Oven and Budgens. Indeed, what is The 100 Worst other than an online version of that most English of pastimes, the ineffectual letter to the local newspaper about the county council? The English are inherently terrible as both a people and as a concept. If being English means that you've won the lottery of life, then the lottery winner in question is Michael Carroll.
We've covered one frontier of the bellend spectrum of football punditry/fandom, so what lies at the other? To use a hideous phrase, (which, regrettably, I have some indirect responsibility for) 'football hipsters' reside at the other.
Had we not gone on a brief hiatus, we may have used this space for the archetype of the genre, Paul Sarahs, a self-parody of a commentator, embodying all the giddy paranoia of a stereotypical City fan but extending it towards world football - that's world football, as in leagues you don't watch, because you don't, to use his catchphrase, "make a living from the game."
But no. Something even greater loomed on the horizon - through association with FourFourTom, we discovered him. He didn't seem like too much of an outrageous prick, by self-styled football pundit standards, but change was in the wind - we hadn't realised his talent, but someone else had. A company with a few quid to spare with an impressive business pitch - "like Twitter, right, but for sport."
So, Postinger got his own TV show, sitting in a plush studio and interviewing top guests. Well, his own internet show, sitting in a plush studio and interviewing top football guests. Well, his own internet show, sitting in what looks like a Wythenshawe comprehensive's abandoned common room and interviewing top football guests. Well, his own internet show, sitting in a what looks like a Wythenshawe comprehensive's abandoned common room and interviewing FourFourTom and a weirdly unfuckable Norwegian guy nobody's ever heard of.
Postinger has a remarkably easy gig in not coming across as an idiot when FourFourTom is beside him, and yet he somehow fails to manage it. Alone, he's even worse. Look at the pauses. The "oh, hello, I didn't see you there" intro. The actual things he's saying. The face. The hair. The accent. The spelling of 'Nik.' The clothes. I mean, I was planning to keep repeating one of these, classic bit of flair writing, but there's already too many to list.
This blog has had many highs in it's short lifespan, but our personal favourite was when we couldn't quite call Rhodri Marsden out as massively creepy towards women, but our readers did the job for us, as comments poured in from women citing his lecherousness. We were expecting the same deal with Rob Delaney, but it hasn't quite happened. With Postinger though, the stakes are high. Why? Because he has a long (but now deleted) history of using advance PUA terminology.
So, a guy who has "trilingual" as the first word in his bio, along with the phrase "the beautiful game" has a hard time picking up women, surprisingly. That's fine, plenty of people do. I mean, not everyone decides to embark into membership of a gigantic rape-cult as a means of getting around that, but could he really be that insecure? Oh….
Sample Tweets
"Bielsa is a philosopher in a field that's been invaded by businessmen and billionaires. Sadly, you're more interested in Suárez soundbites."
"Just bet @Haugstad1006 that Balotelli will outscore Higuaín next season—That triple Disaronno is gonna taste so good. pic.twitter.com/O0WdDlHXJe"
"Chest pains telling me I probably work too much :-/"
Could you do a 100 Worst equivalent for Reddit? Probably. There'd be two problems, though, Firstly, it'd involve having to go to Reddit in the first place. Secondly, there's a major difference between Twitter and Reddit. Twitter fame is gained by producing content, Reddit fame is gained by reacting to it. It's the OC vs copypasta debate that governs internet fads writ large. Reddit is a place where your entire status is based on image management, if your reputation is tarnished too much everything you say will be downvoted into the gutter. And one way people have come up with other managing their Reddit Karma is through one of the worst cultural trends of the past decade: comedians self-meming themselves.
As so often happens in Britain, be it politics, war, or football punditry, it's the grunts who take the bulk of the punishment while the commanding officers get off scot-free. Whether it's an imperial throwback or just the nature of power, there's no denying that it's been one of the more sinister components of your, ehm, culture, for some time.
A lot of the people criticised here, especially as we've entered the upper tier, are placed because they represent something bad beyond their Twitter account. The insularity of the British media classes. The sinister creep of threatened masculinity. The banality of modern alternative culture. Being Grace Dent. @reverend_makers represents none of these. He represents himself. He represents a man who is really, really bad at using Twitter. And then gets him a top 15 berth. Inspirational…
This is an odd time to be a left-leaning member of the commentariat, because almost everything said will be of no importance or relevance at all. You'd think, given the situation, that if not a working understanding of the global financial crisis, then at least an acceptance that it's happening, would be a prerequisite to be paid to post your opinions, but no.
It's about time The 100 Worst checked its privilege. How many AOCs (assholes of colour) have we had on the list so far? Joe Budden, The Rock, MJ Illest, BonsaiSky, Dr Eoin Clarke and KSIOlajidebt. A pitiful six. We've spent more time criticising saltines than a chowder blog. We've focussed on the White Twitter Elite so much that we've neglected Black Twitter. So let's make a play for equality today. Let's look at the nadir of Black Twitter. Let's look at @ThelIluminati.
You know those accounts, the Will Smith parody accounts or the Notebook, endlessly tweeting the self-help slogans and the "never give up on your dreams" gruel? The ones that take up the part of Twitter that isn't comprised of football 'banter' retweets and "that awkward moment when you thought they were talking about the man of the same name who sings in that band" tweets whenever a Mossad informant who shares a letter in his name with a member of one direction gets killed.
The obvious point to make with David Mitchell is that he, Webb, and commisioning editors made the mistake of thinking that being able to memorise some words on a piece of paper and repeat them, sometimes while pretending to do things, meant that was enough to make you destined for greatness in the field of writing, because the words they read happened to be funny. Thusly, a terrible plague was set upon us. Yet that doesn't tell the whole tale.
When did you first realise that Liverpool FC were a racist club? Was it when the team had no qualms with defending a man accused and found guilty of racial abuse? Was it when the fans all rallied around the manager for it and booed the victim in the affair? Or was it when you noticed that one of the most popular Liverpool tweeters has a photo of noted Friend of Colonialism George Orwell as his avatar?

Battlefield 4 – Full Reveal
Since EA's CEO abruptly left the company a week ago, EA's Vice President Patrick Soderlund was at GDC 2013 presenting the
next-generation future of video gaming by stating that Battlefiled 4 marks a new era in video games:
We helped define multiplayer for the FPS genre, and today, we are still passionate about what defining gaming really is.
With a new class of technology at our fingertips, it is never a better time to be a game developer. We build Frostbite 3 to be state of the art – a world class engine that is more powerful than anything we have every created for. It is apiece of technology that really challenges us to use new ideas, iterated and create new ways to entertain people.
The power of Frostbite leaves us with no excuses. There is really nothing holding us back any more. As you all know, the best games out there are not about polygons or shaders – it is the emotional connections we make with players.
Technology has helped us become better storytellers. With BF4 we are creating experiences which are dramatic, believable. The stress of the moment, the feel of imminent danger. The connection you have to the characters. It is all real, and very human.
Despite the game being about war, Battlefield 4 Executive Producer Patrick Bach said that the game is all about human interaction. Technology plays its part, but the re-play value gamers find in a particular game is far beyond how realistic the game looks or how revolutionary it is.
We are asking you, as a player to participate in these dramatic movements. Movies always create believable scenes. We too want you to feel you are really there.
BF4 is a seminal moment for the series. We will be bringing more of the dynamic moments from the multiplayer into the single-player. It is a directed gaming experience, but it much more open – just like our multiplayer.
We also increased the depth by being able to direct your squad mates, use vehicles and destruction, and huge environments that give you more tactical choice. We will have a lot more to tell you and show you as the year goes on.
Battlefield 4 will be releasing on the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and possibly the PS4 and next-gen Xbox in Fall 2013; but it will skipping the Wii U, per DICE Creative Director Lars Gustavsson:
I think overall for me as creative director, number one is to deliver a really great game and experience.
Sometimes, at least for us, it's focusing on what you do well and what you know well, and ensuring that you deliver something good than trying a bit too much, stretching yourself too thin and risking it. I'd rather play it safe, deliver something really good and then look at the future and what could possibly be done than trying a bit too hard and [failing].
Be sure to pre-order the game soon! EA has confirmed all the goodies you'll get if you do. Pre-order for PC, via Origin, you'll get the Battlefield 3 Premium Expansion Pack for free, Battlefield 4 beta access, and bonus in-game content.
Press release:
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Only in Battlefield™ can players go through a building instead of around it or eject from a jet and take out the enemy mid-free fall. Those incredible gameplay moments that blur the line between game and glory can only be created by players, and occur only in Battlefield. DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today announced Battlefield 4™, a genre-defining action blockbuster launching in Fall 2013. Powered by the advanced technology of DICE's proprietary Frostbite™ 3 engine,Battlefield 4 offers players a glimpse into the future of interactive entertainment – a future that is more human, dramatic and believable than anything before it. With more than 65 million players worldwide, the Battlefield series has consistently been praised by critics for its world-class multiplayer gameplay, and is recognized as the only game that allows players to own land, sea and air.
Battlefield 4 is a seminal moment for the Battlefield series as more award-winning, multiplayer game design elements are incorporated into the single-player campaign. In single-player, gamers will experience huge environments, a playground of destruction, access to an arsenal of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. Taking a page from the social aspect of multiplayer gaming, the single-player mode will now track players' progress, adding an element of persistence and friendly competition to the campaign.
The game made its world debut today with a staggering 17-minute gameplay demo, available for view at Battlefield.com. The demo begins as the player – Recker – opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Panic and fear are pushed aside as Recker makes a difficult decision – take the shot and recover the intel but risk that not everyone will survive. The emotional demo features a cast of characters unrivaled in interactive entertainment. Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters. All of this is only possible with Frostbite 3 – a new standard for interactive entertainment in 2013.
"We are so humbled and proud to debut Battlefield 4 on a global stage with simultaneous events in San Francisco and Stockholm. To be this early in development, and to already be so polished is a huge achievement for the DICE team and reflection of their passion and commitment to driving the franchise forward. Today's demo was just the beginning — we have so much more in store," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. "It is thrilling to witness peoples' reaction when seeing the game for the first time. It really makes you realize that we are at the beginning of a whole new era for gaming. As artists and craftspeople, we are focused on creating a dynamic, open design that brings people together with amazing, surprising unscripted moments that they'll talk about for days. That's the beauty of Battlefield."
By pre-ordering Battlefield 4at any participating retail outlet, gamers will receive a Premium expansion pack at no additional cost*. DICE also announced today Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe, an Origin™ exclusive special edition that includes the base game and bonus in-game digital items. Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe* on Origin will also receive the Premium expansion pack as well as access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.

That's what I heard from my mother-in-law for the umpteenth time last Sunday in a rant the gist of which was that my husband and I are too hard on our kids. Apparently, her idea of being a grandparent involves being able to give them as much sugar as they want, as much TV as they want, and as many presents as they want. My husband and I want our children to love their grandparents for who they are, not what they give or let them do. Is that unreasonable? I've also been thinking about the "you're not letting us be grandparents" line, and I've come to the conclusion that we don't HAVE to let them be grandparents. We don't HAVE to let them spend time with our kids at all. We have heretofore CHOSEN to let them spend time with our kids, but their blatant disrespect for the boundaries we have set is teaching our children to be dishonest and deceitful--"Don't tell mom and dad! It'll be our secret. Have some more candy."
Are we out of line or are they? Do grandparents have to be given full and unlimited access to grandchildren, and do parents have to allow grandparents to overindulge grandchildren?
No on both counts, but my grands were very generous people and honestly my parents didn't mind it and we didn't mind it with our parents. WE knew what was expected of US as kids and didn't ask for things, but if offered we could take it. Parents are the law makers, hard on your kids, so on and so forth, grands finally after raising their kids get to be the gigglers and the nice ones. I loved that my parents got to be the same kind of grands to their grandkids and they are/were well loved on all sides. My dad was the big pushover, which was fun to watch.
I'd rather grandparents be this way than the don't bother me kid, ungenerous, grumpy, gripey old grands that some people are and had when they were kids.
You are certainly not out of line at all.
Your MIL is.
BTW, I'm a grandma and a MIL and I wouldn't dream of behaving like that! It's just plain lack of respect for you and your DH!
My brothers and I aren't giving my parents any grandkids. They should be glad they have any at all lol.
I hope you work it out. Being pushed away from being a grand parent tears the heart out.
"Live your life, and forget your age." Norman Vincent PealeNOVEMBER 2ND, Fall back to Standard Time.
Had a similar problem. My mom and dad told my siblings "Our house, our rules." and that's the way they treated the grandkids. When we had kids I told them "Our kids, our rules. Either that or the kids won't be coming over much." They got the msg and we never had a problem.
Remember, when seconds count. . .
the police are just MINUTES away!
Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. . .Davy Crockett
We gave a little, they gave a little.
My In-laws kept, a jar of oatmeal cream pies on their counter, just so the kids could help themselves when we visited. Great-grandparents kept a jar of oatmeal cookies, another of spiced gumdrops and a special 1/2 gal. of whole milk in the refrigerator for the kids.
My kids are a bit older now and love these memories. All are slim, fit and healthy. A bit of spoiling from grandparents didn't ruin them.
As for the gifts, we had to put our foot down, we just didn't have the room. We made a list of acceptable gifts they could give. Finally won that battle when I explained to MIL that the expensive toy that our youngest had really really wanted, so Sister-in-law got it for him, was played with once, discovered it was really really boring (it had looked like so much fun on the commercial) after that one time it was shoved away into the back of a closet, where it remained a year later.teaching our children to be dishonest and deceitful--"Don't tell mom and dad! It'll be our secret. Have some more candy."
would not be tolerated. Also parental rules must be followed. For us basic behavioral rules were pretty much the same there as at home.
I think you both need to compromise. Even as a child we understood that rules were different at the grandparents. We got more sweets and different things were expected from us. There are, after all, different expectations in every different location.
We knew not to sleep in the beds at Penny's, but we could sleep in the beds at home. Mom did not greet us with cookies: one Grandfather did.
Grandparents do get to "spoil" the kids a bit. Mine did, and the memories with them are cherished. The baking together, the goodies, the toy now and then, staying up late... it's all part of what grandparents "do". I turned out fine. I knew the rules at Grandparents house, and I knew the rules at home. I think that treatment from grandparents balances out the strictness of good parents.
I do special things with them and yes, I do spoil them a little bit. I do not, however, do anything that goes against any serious rules their mother has or anything that goes against my own rules of raising children.
When I buy them presents it is something educational.
But yes, when my grandsons are at my house and they want icecream for breakfast from time to time, I ask them what flavor they want.
can you not try talking with them? If ever there was a beautiful win-win situation waiting to happen it is yours - loving grandparents and loving parents and kids who get love from all sides.
You are lucky to have this be your big problem! In fact, blessed!
Celebrate the joy and the love and talk it through. Do not be threatened. Be grateful, have a sense of humor, talk, bend, negotiate. Ask them for advice.
We had to compromise.When My Mom was still alive she loved to give my son soda pop. So he would bounce of the walls when we got him home. Bless her heart we settled for caffiene free pepsi and sprite.
As for gifts and clothes we just let her do what she wanted.We did talk about Christmas gifts so we didn't end up getting him the same things.
Mom also taught him his first not nice word at the ripe old age of 3, she only had two that she ever said.
He adored her and though she has been gone for along time, he still does.
The problem with talking with them is that we've talked until we're blue. They refuse to compromise, refuse to bend at all, and think that we are the unreasonable ones. They pour unconditional love on our kids, which is great, but they do it in such a way that shows complete disrespect for us. I have compromised for years, but on Sunday my MIL said things that cannot be easily forgotten, culminating with the accusation that our children are terrified of us. That is the point at which I told her to get out of my house.
Oh, did I mention that all of this is further complicated by the fact that 3 years ago we built a house with the in-laws where they have their own in-law apartment? The two sides of the house are joined by a hallway/laundry room which the children know they are not to traverse without permission. Now, because of all this, we are going to try to sell our dream house, the house we designed and built ourselves, the house I thought I would die in. It is all incredibly sad, but it is obvious to me that my MIL would be perfectly happy if I died and she got to take control of my family. She has already run two DIL's out of the state, and she's about to have a 3 for 3 record.
I dont know how to put this but please dont ruin some good memories for your kids.
I remember my Grandmothers house had a white hobnail cookie jar, the 2 kinds of cookies it always had in it, and sometimes when I stayed over I would get to choose what I wanted for lunch. Beefaroni from a can (We never had that at home it seems), or Chipped Beef on Toast. I loved being soooo special LOL. She also always had a dish of those pillow mints that melt away in your mouth.
Fast forward to my own kids, and while I would cringe at cookies before a meal that their Grandmother always encouraged, along with lots of assorted treats, and even little gifts of toys for no real reason, I wouldnt rob them of those memories for anything. Their other Grandmother could care less, so it all evened out.
I can actually laugh at myself now for being so worried about Sugar that I believed would surely rot their teeth away right then and there, and "overindulging" them.
Maybe talk to her about limits you can live with.
There is a definite difference between being a doting, spoiling grandparent and being a manipulative, undermining one. If you find the solution, let me know. In the meanwhile, google "Covert Aggressive". It might be eye-opening. At the very least, you'll learn the ways in which people manipulate COVERTLY. In ways they can't be called-out upon, but which leaves the other party feeling bulldozed and blinking, "What just happened?" I'm sorry. Those who don't experience what you're describing only make you feel unheard and even more alone. They are the ones who have only experienced the doting-grandparent type, not the undermining discretely aggressive sort.
my sons girlfriend took the kids away from me three times cuz she was mad at me (i stopped giving them money) it broke my heart to hear my grandson (ones just a baby) wanting to say goodbye or hi to me and not being allowed to or being told to shut the f@#$ up and go sit down cuz he was trying to talk to me and she was mad at me. i chose to walk away instead of hearing them get hurt or me getting hurt by the sadistic bit**. but now my heart is breaking and i am sure my gsons is too--i am not talking to my son over this. please try and talk it out--set the bounderies for them, i would be upset about the "dont tell" thing also.
I have 8 & 1/2 grandchildren ( one is due in August.)..When my own children were little, I was a good mother..not a perfect one, but a good one..I loved all of them and made certain that they knew that..not only in words and hugs but also by teaching them right from wrong, loving discipline, etc. etc..I watched what they ate..I made certain that they had enough sleep..They had routine medical and dental check-ups, played sports..I monitored their progress in school..blah blah blah..18 + YEARS of work..work that I loved..but nonetheless WORK.
So now I'm "Grammy"..hmmm..I trust that their parents are good parents..and are busy working as good parents ..doing all of the things that I did..my role NOW is that of chief hugger, listener, cookie maker..and silly person..I have no need or desire to be their parent..been there, done all that..I'm Grammy..I know that my heart would break into little pieces if my grown children took my role away from me..
Just my two cents..
"In order to receive happiness, you must first give it away."
Me...I said that
Honestly I wouldnt worry too much about the gifts the sugar.... you are bringing up your children to not be deceitful, keep it up.
I had one grandma who always gave us money when we visited. Almost literally, she didnt know how to give anything else. She couldnt!!
She was a bitter conniving old thing & spoke about my mother (her own daughter) disparingly every chance she got.
Me & my brother picked up on at a young age.
And your kids will sort out this stuff too, probaby a whole lot quicker & easier than you'd expect.
We've been grandparents for nine yrs now. Some of the anal thinking of our grown children just blows us away. Though I dont say anything, I dont appreciate being told how to treat them.
Staying up too late at grandmas & eating stuff you dont normally let them have is half the fun!
And she knows that!!

After oxidizing the thin films of graphene using the established Hummers method, the researchers examined their samples using X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS). Over about 35 days, they noticed the number of epoxide functional groups declining while the number of hydroxyl groups increased slightly. After about three months, the ratio of the two groups finally reached equilibrium.
"We found that the material changed by itself at room temperature without any external stimulation," said Suenne Kim, a postdoctoral fellow in Riedo's laboratory. "The degree to which it was unstable at room temperature was surprising."
Curious about what might be causing the changes, Riedo and Kim took their measurements to Angelo Bongiorno, an assistant professor who studies computational materials chemistry in Georgia Tech's School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Bongiorno and graduate student Si Zhou studied the changes using density functional theory, which suggested that hydrogen could be combining with oxygen in the functional groups to form water. That would favor a reduction in the epoxide groups, which is what Riedo and Kim were seeing experimentally.
"Elisa's group was doing experimental measurements, while we were doing theoretical calculations," Bongiorno said. "We combined our information to come up with the idea that maybe there was hydrogen involved."
The suspicions were confirmed experimentally, both by the Georgia Tech group and by a research team at the University of Texas at Dallas. This information about the role of hydrogen in determining the structure of graphene oxide suggests a new way to control its properties, Bongiorno noted.

Webster Springs House Rental Photos and Description
Cabin, 4 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 7-8)
Fly fish the fabulous Elk River and its back fork then come back to your stunning mountain cabin to crystal clean air and the best-tasting spring water on earth, and mountain-top views set within a gorgeous hardwood forest on 18 acres with no fencing. Lumber companies conveniently left a great 1 mile gravel road from the main highway 15 and the surrounding virgin forest creates utter privacy.
Summer sightings include deer and fawns, squirrels, birds and fields of butterflies. When our children were young they'd roof-watch the wildlife that didn't come into the clearing, and the on-site blueberries in summer and apples in the fall ensure bear and cub sightings nearby.
Only 45 minutes to Snow Shoe for high life, or about the same from Elkins. Wander the West Virginia-priced (inexpensive) antique shops with terrific finds, or find some weekend mountain music at the many heritage weekends, where relations near and far visit for a town family reunion.
Remind yourself and the kids how life was ''back when.''
The cabin (called a ''camp'' in the mountains) was lovingly hand-crafted from 26 kinds of timber by a master carpenter. There is central air, radiant heating if you'd rather, a grill and smoker, unlimited hard line calls, a new television with satellite, a washer/dryer/microwave, games, and plenty of books for reading during your stay.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair accessible
About Donna
We bought the house in 1980 and the five kids love it, but as they started having families on thier own and moved away we decided to rent the house out in 2008. I have a hotel management background so we have really enjoyed getting to know guests on a better basis than a one-night stay, especially the people who come year after year and the guest comments ... we made the right decision to share the family experience.
Donna purchased this house in 1984
Why Donna chose Webster Springs
great fly fishing
What makes this house unique
We have rituals -- food is cheap, time stretches, the porch is huge and the television doesn't get turned on. We play Country & Western music, get up early for fly fishing or hunting, then just sit lazily and talk or play board games ... the pace is part of the fun.

Although 66 people,
including 43 men and 23 women largely from
their families, were presented in 1675 for not
receiving the sacrament, (fn. 46) no dissenters were
reported in 1676. (fn. 47) Four households were regularly failing to attend church in 1686. (fn. 48) In 1697
a Cambridge Independent minister was preaching at Bottisham. (fn. 49) By 1728 a quarter of the villagers were reckoned dissenters, a few being
Quakers, most Baptists. A shoemaker preached
monthly at a small meeting house. (fn. 50) A house was
registered for Particular Baptists in 1743, (fn. 51)
another for Independents in 1726 at Lode, (fn. 52)
where a Methodist ex-shepherd was preaching
in a barn in 1761. (fn. 53) In 1807 a small meeting
house of uncertain denomination, probably that
registered in 1798 for 'a gospel preacher', was
not regularly used. Its adherents sometimes
came to church and had their children baptized
there. (fn. 54) Other houses at Bottisham were registered for dissenters in 1812, 1818, 1832, and
1835, (fn. 55) and at Lode in 1835 and 1842. (fn. 56)
The main Independent congregation in
Bottisham village initially used a chapel registered in 1819 by Richard Cook, its minister until
1850. Thomas Dennis of Bottisham Place had
built for a congregation previously meeting at
his house the timber-framed structure off the
south-east end of the street, (fn. 57) which survived in
1991, remodelled as a farm building. Although
there was a continuous succession of ministers
into the 1880s, (fn. 58) one of whom claimed in 1851,
when there were 40 sittings, an attendance of
almost 80, (fn. 59) those ministers usually had no home
in the village, but sometimes, as in 1881, lodged
with the Pauls. (fn. 60) In 1868 a new greybrick fivebayed chapel, seating 230, was built on Paul
property south-west of the street. (fn. 61) In 1873,
when two services were held weekly at that
chapel, the dissenters in Bottisham ecclesiastical
parish numbered 200-250, (fn. 62) while in 1885 and
1897 a third of its inhabitants went to chapel. (fn. 63)
After 1900, when the chapel was served by a
supply minister, membership declined from 48
in 1905 to 12 by 1935 and 4 by 1965. (fn. 64) The
chapel had closed well before 1971, when the
village scout troop took over its building, which
they purchased c. 1978. It was still their local
base in 1991. (fn. 65)
In 1852 Primitive Methodists registered a cottage at Bottisham. (fn. 66)
From the early 19th century the Baptists were
strongest at Lode, where they had registered
a private house in 1803. A chapel built for
Particular Baptists in 1810, (fn. 67) though only regis
tered c. 1840, (fn. 68) was rebuilt in 1832 in two bays
of grey brick, on a site slightly west of Lode high
street. Annexes were added at its west c. 1855. (fn. 69)
There were resident ministers from the 1840s
until at least the 1880s. (fn. 70) In 1851, when it had
350 sittings, 140 free, the minister, who held
three services each Sunday, claimed an average
attendance rising from 140 to up to 300 in the
afternoons. (fn. 71) In 1873 the Baptists, who had
accounted for half Lode's population c. 1870,
were said to oppose violently the Church of
England's doctrine and ritual. (fn. 72) Their late 19thcentury membership was c. 50, a quarter of the
potential congregation. (fn. 73) That chapel remained
open in the 20th century, (fn. 74) and services were
still regularly held in 1991. (fn. 75)

Medulloblastoma with Extensive Nodularity Undergoing Post-Therapeutic Maturation to a Gangliocytoma: A Case Report and Literature ReviewChelliah D. · Mensah Sarfo-Poku C. · Stea B.D. · Gardetto J. · Zumwalt J.
aSchool of Medicine and bSchool of Public Health, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, Calif., and Departments of cRadiation Oncology and dPathology, University of Arizona, Tuscon, Ariz., USA
We present a report of a 12-year-old boy diagnosed with medulloblastoma at 22 months of age. A gross total resection was performed followed by adjuvant systemic chemotherapy due to his young age; however, the tumor recurred locally in the posterior fossa 7 months later. The recurrent tumor was excised and he received craniospinal radiation with a boost given to the posterior fossa followed by high-dose chemotherapy. He remained disease free for approximately 10 years without major neurologic deficit and only mild cognitive impairment. A routine follow-up MRI of the brain revealed an enhancing mass. The patient underwent surgical debulking and pathological examination revealed no residual immature medulloblastoma cells but instead mature ganglion cells, consistent with a gangliocytoma. The apparent maturation of primitive medulloblastoma cells is a rare phenomenon, which may have ensued from the long-term effects of adjuvant therapies inducing advanced cellular maturation.

Neutra House Numbers
There is something about these house numbers, availaible at Design Within Reach that we just swoon over ($68.00 each). The stainless steel numbers are based on the iconic lettering that Richard Neutra specified for use on his mid-century buildings. Precision crafted by a 50-year-old metal fabrication shop in collaboration with Neutra's son, Dion, they are designed to float slightly above the wall surface and cast subtle shadows. If God is in the details, you might want to bow down to these beauties.
1 Comment
I love these numbers, too. I just bought my first place and would love to hang these up. Unfortunately, I live in a condo and my HOA doesn't allow it. My next palace these are definitely going up!

Chili's Copycat Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe
- Posted on
- 25 Comments
I love Chili's, but going out to eat can be difficult with kids! This pasta tastes just like the real thing and it is so easy to make in the comfort of your own kitchen.
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
4 Tablespoons butter
3 cups half and half
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Love the look of this pasta, love the spice as well. Definitely giving this a try!
Happy Blogging!
Happy Valley Chow
I made this for dinner tonight and it was a HIT!! so flavorful and delicious!! Thanks you for sharing.
I Love a good Copy Cat!!! Thanks for sharing on Show Me Your Plaid Monday's!!!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious!!! Although, the sauce was more like soup than a pasta sauce. I will need to use something to thicken it up a bit.
I agree. It was tasty, but the sauce was literally like water. My boyfriend was excited for this and was quite disappointed in the sauce. I'd make it again, only if I could thicken it up…
I just made it too and the sauce was so runny. Would love to know how to thicken it!
The same thing happen to me.. I don't know where I went wrong.
To thicken the sauce use heavy cream instead of half&half and simmer it over roughly medium heat for a while while stirring. That seems to work for me.
I had the same problem. You need to melt the butter first, then sprinkle in a few tablespoons of flour and whisk it till it's bubbly. Then slowly add the milk, about a half a cup at a time, and keep whisking until it turns into a thick creamy sauce.
My husband made this a couple weeks ago and it is by far my favorite meal ever. He is making it again tonight and I cannot wait. He had no problems with the sauce…it was perfect.
I made this tonight for dinner. The sauce was so runny that it was like eating soup. There was also far too much sauce for the amount of pasta. Perhaps you should make a roue first by mixing in a few tablespoons of flour? Other than that problem, the meal itself was DELICIOUS. I'm definitely going to be making this one again! I will just have to experiment with the sauce to see what I can do about making it thicker.
I made this again, but I made a roux and it turned out much better.
My sauce was runny like water too. If someone has figured out how to thicken it, PLEASE SHARE!!
Mine was always i very watery! I added some flour and i also added some shredded Parmesan cheese to the sauce and when it melted it helped thicken! Also very tasty!
absolutly delisious dish i would just recomend adding flour sauce is thin i added a little at a time till i got the consistance i liked
Just made this for dinner and it was amazinnng! I did make a small adjustment that may help those who are saything there is too much sauce or it wasnt thick enough… I used 16oz of heavy whipping cream inatead of half and half. And then after i mixed it with the pasta and chicken, I turned in the shredded parm. PERFECT. Thanks for sharing! Love the recipe!
Made this tonight, and have to say pretty disappointed in how the sauce turned out :/ I wish I would have read the comments BEFORE I made it because it has great flavor, but I ended up straining out some of the sauce because it was more like noodles, chicken, and soup. Definitely going to give it a 2nd try sometime. Maybe using the whipping cream since I'm gluten free I haven't dabbled with flour thickening since I had to change my diet.
Just finished making this for my boyfriend and I. We were so excited to finally make it but unfortunately the "sauce", like others said, was far too runny. What I did to fix this since I didn't have flour for a roux was put the sauce in the cooked noodles and heat until the sauce was bubbling in the bottom, stirring constantly. The noodles will absorb some of the sauce and help thicken it. I also used the entire box of penne however it's not necessary if you follow my instructions for thickening. After this the sauce was perfect! Hope this helps!!!!
This pasta was awesome! I accidentally used Mrs Dash instead of lemon pepper (both yellow tops, similar color – oops) but flavor turned out perfect, I think I will make it that way again. My only complaint is the consistency of the sauce was literally like water. Next time I will add some flour or cheese to thicken up but definitely will make again. Thank you.
This dish was great, although I had a problem with thin sauce, too. I dissolved about two teaspoons of corn starch in 1/4 cup of water and added to the sauce. Also added about 1/8 cup of parmesan. It took a lot of patience and stirring, but it was worth the effort.
I make this a lot but just use a jar of alfredo sauce. Much easier.
Just mix in a tbsp of flour thats been stirred into a couple tbsp of water, add more parmesan and its perfect sauce
Love this dish and so does the picky husband. A little hint about the sauce: The first time I made it I accidentally picked up the 16 oz half and half and it turned out perfect (though I did add a little splash of extra milk when I realized was short of 3 cups). I'm going to start getting the smaller half and half from now on. And like some if the other ladies said I also add some parmesean to the sauce.
I made this last night and noticed that the sauce wasn't getting thick (didn't see the other comments until this morning). I kept reading the recipe over and over thinking I missed something . I finally added some of the shredded parmesan to the sauce (just eyeballed the amount) and then it thickened up! It came out DELICIOUS!!!!
The sauce is great used the butter and made a rue before adding the half and half. So yummy! I also didn't have cajun seasoning so I made one. It came out so yummy! Me and my bf loved it!!

Stupid Moon Gets Stupid Slideshow
You're dead to me, Talking Points Memo. I mean, I understand that all the action is in slideshows these days, but I cannot abide your celebration of the latest lunar idiocy. Good day.

So… I think I missed the beginnings of your feud with the moon. WHY DO YOU HATE IT???
@ColdFinger The moon is fucking lazy. It doesn't even produce it's own light– it gets all the attention when all it does is reflect the light of a hardworking sun. Oh, once a month you get full and we need to make a big deal about it? Do you know who gets up bright an early every fucking morning, full as can be? The sun, that's who. Fuck you, moon.
@TableNine Oh. [blank stare+two slow blinks] When you put it that way.
But but but: the tides!

In these past few months I was as helpless and vulnerable as I have ever been. Nine and a half months pregnant – then Otto, my new son, born in the hospital by C-section. I had to open my heart and let people do all the things I felt I was "supposed" to do. I had to let go and surrender – I had no choice. In what seemed to be my most low moment, I cannot express the amount of love that came my way. What surprised me and equally astonishing was the sheer joy people had in giving, it was palpable.
People from my many years of my teaching came forward to support Reflections crowd-funding campaign to help us move the studio's location, others sent love and gifts to Otto — I was stunned by the amount of people who cared about us. People from high school that I had not seen in years, students from my first year of teaching all offering help and wishing us well. Reflections teachers and managers were unstoppable, taking the campaign and the move from 49th street on as if it was their own studio and again I had a realization – it is. Reflections is about the people in it. Its not about our location, it's not me, it is about all the those who have come to heal and grow in that space. This is their studio and they were working to save it — Otto and I became a symbol of that. Those who knew how long I wanted this little guy and how hard I tried to have him saw the birth of this baby much like the studio – they are both in existence against the odds.
I remember getting one of our last donations from Brenna and Sam. Many of you will remember Brenna was the manager when we opened Reflections 5 years ago and she left and married our beloved Sam. As luck would have it, she passed her seat over to the girl I couldn't live without–Hedy! Getting that donation was such a poignant moment. Both of these women have poured so much love and time into Reflections- I was moved beyond words when it was Brenna's donation tipped us to the $25,001 mark. I broke down sobbing in the CVS getting bottles for my breast pump!! Ed literally had to walk me out.
The amount of love and the amount of people who have gone out of their way to help us just overwhelms my mind. I actually cannot understand it on the level of the mind, but I can feel it in my heart. I feel one of the most important vibrations we can live in as humans, is the vibration of gratitude. Gratitude now fills my every day — When I look at Otto, when I step into Reflections and see how beautiful it is, when students come all the way from the west side to take classes, when I think of all the work that went into putting this studio together while I could hardly lift my head. I sit in the seat of my heart and feel so much gratitude for the people who are in my life and I can only hope to pass on a portion of the love I was given in this very special time… I am humbled – thank you
Please join us for our Open House Oct 11 and 12th. There will be free classes, lots of fun workshops and so much more.]]>
Well at least that's what it feels like! My sweet baby is due at the end of this month and I am also unexpectedly birthing a new addition to the family: Reflections East!
After five years on the west side, Times Square NYC, Reflections Center for Conscious Living & Yoga must move. I have to say, it wasn't our choice. We love our west side community. After all these years on W. 49th St., we have built a community that feels like family. But New York City real estate has gone out of control and we, like many, have fallen victim to the market and inflated prices. Don't even get me started!
When I got the news that we needed to leave our home on W. 49th St., I opened my heart and asked if Reflections had run its course. What I received was an even more beautiful space on a quiet, tree-lined block, and can you believe it…at a lower rent! A more clear message could not have been given!
Moving a business in NYC is very expensive, and we were caught unprepared by the loss of our space on W. 49th St. To help us with this major expense, Reflections Center for Conscious Living & Yoga will be running a crowd funding campaign to raise money for renovating and moving into the new space.
This is how you can help and become a greater part of your Reflections yoga community:
Go to our Indiegogo Crowd Funding Campaign and enjoy some of the amazing perks. Your donations will enable us to open up our new doors. We would LOVE for this to be theMOST SHARED indiegogo campaign EVER. Please go to our Facebook and Twitter pages and share the post with your friends, family and community!
We are very lucky to have found a beautiful space on E. 24th st. and 2nd ave. The new 3,000 square foot duplex would not be complete without a homey Reflections kitchen, a relaxing lounge, private healing rooms for massage, meetings, or private yoga sessions, floor to ceiling windows, a Zen garden, showers, two bathrooms, and changing rooms. It is simply perfect for us. Reflections East will open in September.
Here are a few important dates we'd love you to keep in mind. Be sure to check the website, newsletters, Facebook, andTwitter for updates and new information, and we look forward to seeing you and serving you in our new beautiful home!
Here are a few save the dates at Reflections East:
This was my third year teaching at the amazing Time Square Solstice event. There were so many familiar faces. It seems to have become a tradition for many. This year I brought an additional family member tucked deep in my belly.
Nothing has brought me more into my practice then this sweet soul. It has taught me, on the deepest level, the experience of oneness and unconditional love.
Before this baby, on a certain level, I'd been living in the illusion of separation– from the world, from others and often from myself, even though I have been teaching about oneness my entire adult life. In my work I have come to realize that this is an illusion we all share and the one that causes us the most pain. If I feel disconnected and that no one understands or feels me I experience a deep primordial pain that causes me shame and seems to be unhealable.
The first time I felt this baby kick — inside my body! — I suddenly knew the deep level of connectedness we actually are and my whole being rushed with love and then joy. I had been found. I was in fact connected, felt and no longer alone.
Ridding ourselves of the myth that we are all separate can be done in one way – with love — like most things. If we fill our practice with sensitivity, connection and feeling then we are nurturing this love on a genuine level. If we can only give our practice the permission to show us the way to self love instead of competition and struggle then this myth is no longer valid. When we stop working beyond or outside of our practice and get humble, even vulnerable, self love is there waiting. I learn and will continue to learn this on many levels as this baby asks me to surrender, literally at the core of my being and I do so not only willfully but with joy.
The great yogi and philosopher, Richard Freeman once told me yoga offers us the space and freedom to stop pretending and the opportunity to get real with who and what we are. I would add to that — when you discover who that person really is love them with all you got. Love them as if they were your child. Because if I can love me unconditionally then I can hold that compassion and love for all.
Coming together in the greatness of an event like the Times Square Solstice gave me the extraordinary chance to love myself, my child and to love and understand all people as part of our connection in the pot of separation. What separates also holds the road to integrate depending on how we look at it.
The fact is, re-discovering this oneness, time and again is really the evolution of humanity. Every time this baby kicks I come to know again that I hold life inside of me and that we are surely a miracle. The re-occurring murky waters of my mind clear for the billionth time and I remember there is no where to look but here inside of me. What more of a miracle can there be than to live a life — to create a life. We are a conduit of connection and if we accept this we come to understand that WE are what we seeking. We are the miracle and hold the highest vibration right inside of us.]]>
I am just back from Denmark where I taught a week-long training on Yoga and the Organs. I'd never taught this before in this much depth and I was a bit nervous about getting across all that I felt in my own body. In addition I am quite pregnant and having this beautiful life in me has put a bit of a spin on my teaching. I know my body pretty well but the body I have today is very different than the one I have been working with for all these years. The process of continuous movement has helped me to integrate all this newness – but it takes time and it seems always to be changing. To prepare for this training, I went back to read something I had written about being a teacher a few years back and I thought I would share it once again because it rings even more true to me today.
All of my gratitude rests with my teacher Bonnie Bainbridge. This wisp of a woman has changed my life in so many ways. When people ask me why I love Bonnie so, what in particular is special about her teaching, I have no need to think: yes, she has taught me things about the body and movement that I could never have dreamt; yes, she has filled my mind with anatomy and philosophy and so much more; but beyond this, the teaching she has offered and that I had not gotten from any other was… how to "be". Nothing exists without presence. Yes, you can meet a person or go to a place, but the level of presence you hold within that space relates directly to the depth of your "knowing".
I remember an occasion at one of Bonnie's workshop in Massachusetts, when the classes were small and intimate, and we felt like a little family. The days were filled with rolling around and bouncing on balls and moving like starfish. Within all of that we mostly hung on her words, and sat eager for her touch. On this one day she held my hand. It may sound crazy, but it felt as if the eternal mother was holding me. She never even said a word. We simply shared space. She taught me everything possible in that single moment. If I never saw her again, it wouldn't matter, because it was left to me to cultivate in myself that which she so generously offered.
In this we are all teachers — and students. Whenever we bring with us our true presence, we are both open to receive and grow as well as offer ourselves up. My learning from Bonnie was never about how many notebooks I could fill with her words… She gave me my life's lesson with a simple touch.
I wished to impart this to my students in Denmark. They asked many wonderful questions and I hope I answered them to some level of satisfaction. In the end what made me feel like I made some difference in their embodiment was how each of these sweet souls opened their bodies and hearts in the morning free movement. It went from slow and a bit awkward when we first began to the most loving expression of beauty toward themselves and each other by the time I left. By the last day, I was certain I had helped open the door to their presence.]]>
As I sat chatting with a very sad and anxious friend the other night I found myself looking to my own life and speaking to her from the deep wisdom of knowing– which was born of years of FREAKING out!!!! I tried to explain as she sat, tears running down her face, that all we can do is trust that when we aren't getting what we want its because there is a better plan out there for us. That over years I have come to believe that the episodes of life are already written, and it is merely our job to stay present and learn the lessons they hold for us to grow and mature as conscious beings.
The truth is we learn as we do, and change reluctantly. It's always curious to me what we, as humans, believe we are holding on to when we resist change. What are we so afraid of losing? Why can we never see that there might be more to gain instead of living in this constant worry of impeding loss? In the case of my friend it wasn't possible for her to see that her life might turn out for the better from where she was sitting. I could see in a few months time it might all become humorously clear that what she wanted so badly was not what was best and perhaps not even what she really wanted in light of the new gifts life might offer. I knew that to be true from times in my own life where I clenched my heart to the unfairness of it all only to later dry my tears with humility and gratitude for what it eventually offered me.
Today I find solace when I turn to my practice and work the tenets so I am reminded how impermanent it all really is. Life is always changing and all I can do is be present for what is there for me in any moment. If I hold on to the past or rush to some unknown future, I fail to live. Instead, I can choose to be here now and let the water rush over me. I simply shift with the moment that is before me and suddenly I find myself in alignment with the master plan!
Not easy, for sure. Often we need to sit with others to help us see how this is possible. It is difficult to find our way alone, we need good tools to be so versatile… but versatility– or surrender is what is needed– and our ability to respond to what life is offering is directly related to the level of our overall happiness. The more I struggle with things not being as I would like, the more pain I am in. The more I awaken and sit with what is, even if what is–is pain, mourning, loss, happiness, success, failure, death, birth … the happier I am – because I am in alignment with nature. If I have faith that the divine is a much better artist then I could ever be I can see the amazing tapestry which has been created for me. If I choose a false sense of control I find myself lost in the failure and pain.
Here's the thing: the more I am capable of maneuvering through the flow of life, like a bird or a fish, just riding the flow, not thinking, just gracefully responding to what is, then I am always in the right place with no fear of loss. When I can find the courage to let go of my fear, what I am offered is the ability to ride life in its fullest expression. I sat with my friend for a long time knowing that part of this awakening is experiencing the pain of resistance and the best I could do for her in the moment is let her be and keep holding love and faith in my heart trusting her own divinity would do the rest.
The tears stopped and the smiles came. Though I think this story still has some unfolding to do, I know in my heart that giving unconditional love is why we are here. I try each day to open my own heart fully and especially when I am frightened by the act of loving. I feel blessed beyond words to have this family that has already brought me to places of love in myself I didn't think possible. I can say that I am certain beyond all else I will never run out of love!
I'm not sure how to begin this post. Though I don't want to down play this amazing news, I'm eager to share this butt-kicking unexpected process that transpired as a result and is changing my life. The impending birth of my first child has made me grow in so many ways, I'm not sure where to begin. Yes, this sweet baby is due in August. I'm praying for Leo; I love those fire signs!
What I want to share most with you today is what I am finding so unexpected and life altering (besides the obvious of having a child at this point in my life): The fact is,I'm truly in an altered state. The amount of joy that exists, quite literally in my cells, is something I never thought possible. It's beyond what I imagined could be contained in my person. All I can see these days is beauty—these hormones are great!! Not at all like the ones we suffer with PMS. These days I feel like what people explain a "Molly" high might be. I love everyone and am filled with compassion and joy! But as humans we live in duality so I thought I might share some of the less talked about feelings that have surfaced with the coming of this new life and the letting go of my own, the way that I once knew it.
I have had the privilege of living a wonderful life that centers completely around me! I care deeply for my students and for my community at Reflections, but my life has always been lived on my own terms. I have molded a life built on physical image and freedom – though I didn't actually realize it until it was being threatened. How I looked played into who I was and the health and clarity I represented. In the last four months, both of these things have been challenged to the core as well is how I thought a pregnant woman was "supposed to feel." I had this notion that if you were about to become a mother, you invisibly became the Mother Mary and those sweet hormones I mentioned made you think of nothing other than your unborn child, that you would care only for this child without thought of yourself or at least without the resentment for how your life will literally never be the same again! Hmmm–not so much! I find myself in the process of looking at my choices and having to modify so many things for the life of my child and it isn't even here yet! You know what? That's hard!
I have always had a clear understanding of my body. I can honestly say I had a deep relationship to it and trusted it. I knew how to feed it, how much sleep it needed–I was great at knowing how to push the limits and it responded with health and energy. These days it's doing the craziest things and I feel I have lost the thread here. Once you figure out one thing, there is another you have to integrate, not least of all the drastic changing shape!! This is equally hard to come to grips with particularly if your life has been in some way centered around being an ambassador of health and wellness. For example, I was called to do a photo shoot for a yoga line and when I told them I was pregnant, they never even wrote back! Ouch!
The one thing that hasn't changed, thank God, is ME. How I look at the world and the len I look through to understand myself is steady and still intact. At first I was quite disappointed in myself. How could I think of anything else but this child? How could these superficial things matter to me? Am I really living what I teach? I finally, decided to stop feeling ashamed and start looking deeper. This little bundle of tired, achy and often nauseating joy was changing my life. What was even harder to come to terms with was that it wasn't me changing me , it was this baby changing me and I, or my ego, was feeling out of control. From the moment I found out about the coming of this child I was 150% happy. But the truth of who I now was or what was about to happen to me was not even close to becoming a reality yet.
This feeling of being out of out of control was hard to come to terms with. When things really started to change, I remember looking at the beautiful young woman running my studio talking about the care-free things they were doing and having to pause and say, "Not me, I can't just fly to Bali with you next September. I'll have an infant to care for". I'd look at how adorable they looked in the new tights we got in at the boutique while all my go-to clothes I used to feel great in started to feel tight and uncomfortable. Shopping pregnancy wear is just not that much fun.
I need to say I am very lucky to have a partner that truly thinks I look beautiful. Feeling how he sees me helps me to embody the sensuality inherent in this transformation, which does exist. I am loving the fullness of my body in a way I never had before. I feel more sensual then sexy which I like very much; thank you my dear Ed, you make this so much more enchanting. The truth is I don't feel sexy in the way I was used to, which was actually more of an external experience. I notice the subtle shifts in how people interact with me. Though I don't think I actually consciously registered it before, people do interact differently with an unencumbered woman then they do with a mom. People actually call me Ma'am. OH MY GOD! I am a Ma'am now officially! I'm being honest now, right? That stung! Who "I am" was transformed almost instantly into — a mom! Is anyone really ready for that?! What does that even mean? Nine months seems a short time to actually integrate that concept. Let's not even bring up the issue of what it feels like to be responsible for someone else's life when you wonder how well you are doing with your own and instead stick with the growing pains that come with the mom and a persona concept.
What I am currently dealing with is taking off my clothes and seeing parts of me I remember and then noticing other parts and saying "whoa that's crazy looking!!" Or looking at my life and feeling "yes of course I can do that" on my lips and instead hearing "no, I'm sorry, I can no longer make that kind of commitment." cone out of my mouth. I realized I had to honestly sit with this for a while because it was getting to me. It was actually in meditation that I came to a genuine understanding, and then respect, for the stages of life, and the knowing that they exist for a reason. I think as New Yorkers, we stay in some arrested state of development holding on to an idea of youth for far too long. At least I did. Watching the Oscars, I was keenly aware of the genuine beauty in the women who were moving gracefully into their maturity and those who Botoxed themselves in to denial.
What I am allowing myself to feel now, with the help of the love and admiration of my partner (he seems to see real beauty in my changes and it helps me take on that shape that feeling), is that what is happening is richness not a loss. I am maturing and this baby is helping me grow-up. It is pulling me out of the narcissism of an extending youth and bringing on my next journey where I have to do it all differently. I believe there is so much physical change inherent in this process, because there will be very little similar to my old life's journey. Its like a metamorphosis of my soul. This is a new life with new rules and new experiences. I will of course miss my old friend, but I feel I'm about to be a better version of her, one that finds joy in guiding the life of another, one that embraces sacrifice instead of resenting it, one that perhaps finally understands the letting go of the ego and embraces the selflessness I have been teaching for 25 years.
I know the dear mothers and fathers out there reading this will say that I still have no idea how much my life is about to change. I agree! What I do know is that I have redirected my inner life mandala and I am no longer resisting the change but I'm in its full embrace. I am finding a new beauty and grace in change and feeling myself more excited then frightened. I have some inkling that this is how it is meant as it propels of our personal evolution and I'm into it! I am most happy to watch how I grow as a person, and how we grow as parents.
Life is a real trip isn't it—and babies do create miracles!
If you resonated with this post, you may be interested in our 5-week PreNatal Yoga Class, which begins April 2, 2014.
March, just like January this year, has 2 new Moons. The first New Moon is in the sign of Pisces [water, imagination, intuition, fish, dreamers] and the second New Moon is in the sign of Aries [fire, actions, beginnings, passion, warriors]. Most of March is ruled by this Piscean energy and I believe that this energy is necessary in order to step into Aries energy for the spring.
March 20th is the Spring Equinox, the first day of spring. This means that winter is over, and that we are moving toward Summer or the longest day of the year. Despite warmer temperatures, we (in the Northern Hemisphere) are still in winter time. The winter time is often seen as less valuable in our modern day society because we tend to not be seasonal creatures anymore. However the winder time invites us to truly awaken. The bears hibernate during the winter – they nest and rest – and enter the summer rejuvenated and healthy.
I believe that the most valuable inner asset to an individual is knowing themself. It is knowing their behavior, their body, their desires, and their dreams. Sometimes to know ourselves, we have to hibernate. We need to attune inward toward our inner landscape and direct some dedication to what we are doing. That doesn't mean that we ignore the outer landscape, but I think it means that we prioritize the inner one.
The Pisces days are days of intuition, dreams, and incredible insights. But we can't receive any of those if we do not create the space in our minds and schedules to. Devote the beginning of this month to self care and going inward. Use this New Moon to awaken.
Yes it's February – the month to ponder love – why does it always seem it's the one topic we are never content with? We don't have enough, we don't like the love we get, we're chasing it – it's chasing us. You get it, and then it's… not all that! Whatever the case, it never seems right.
I've been teaching a 200-hour training for the past month. As many of you know, love is the thing I like to talk the most about during my classes. But when I get a group for a full month, it becomes an investigation! I believe in my heart that if we can ever get this love thing straight, the rest is easy.
I thought I'd share a little of what we discovered this month.
Like a simple equation, we found that the amount of love we can feel = the amount of true compassion we are able to feel for anyone. But there is a hitch. The first person on that compassion list has to be us. Let me elaborate.
Mostly my mind judges: "I don't like him because he is too needy. She drives me crazy because she is too closed off". On the days when I can go a little deeper and step away from my judging mind and step into my heart I can see the needy part of me is what I really don't like; that part that is a bit scared and vulnerable, that part of me that wants to be loved. When I can see my own reflection in my needy friend and see he needs the same love I do, in that moment the judgment falls away and all I'm left with is love for us both.
But what of my closed off girlfriend; could it be that all she wants is love, but like myself she is too afraid to ask so she hardens her heart. When I see it in this light I have a tear and want to hug her and myself and tell us both to trust that I love you and that we are in fact lovable and that anyone would love us if we could simply open our hearts to that possibility.
When we take the judgment out of the love, what we are left with is the true and exposed experience of being human – we can see all the defenses, the hiding, the pretending and the grasping as the cry of our inner child not knowing how to ask for what it needs. When you can see it all in this way, who don't you feel love for?
If this blog posts touches you in some way, you may want to explore this topic in more depth at our event on Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14th. We'll explore love as an emanation, a gift that comes from deep within yourself, rather than as a projection, something you get from others. Happy Valentine's Day! Join us at Reflections Yoga and see our loving community in action!]]>
