Selena Gomez 'Dances' back to Hollywood (Updated 9/13/13)
Is Selena Gomez heading for a musical hiatus…again?
Of course, the above statement is not something you would normally expect from a musician following the release of their first true 'solo' debut album. But for Gomez, whose "Stars Dance" was released on July 23, 2013, it marked the opportunity for her to mostly dump her Disney image in favor of an ultraslick, danceable and beat-laden project. It also came at a time when she was moving beyond those roots with roles in the films "Spring Breakers" and "Rudderless," and a movie career is apparently what's currently front and center for the starlet.
Hoping to focus solely on her acting career, Gomez had a cameo role in "Aftershock," a thriller that premiered at the 37th Annual Toronto International Film Festival. She also appeared in "Getaway" with Ethan Hawke and Jon Voight, and is set to star in the film adaptation of the Ric Browde novel "While I'm Dead…Feed the Dog," opposite Dylan McDermott and Nat Wolff. That film, "Behaving Bad," will be directed by Tim Garrick.
Of course Gomez hasn't totally shed her Disney image. She reprised her role as Alex Russo in a one-hour special titled "The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex," that wrapped after a one-month production in the fall of 2012. It aired on the Disney Channel in March, four months prior to her album release.
Gomez is currently on tour in support of "Stars Dance," with dates running through the end of November. Supporting acts on the trek include Emblem3 and Christina Grimmie.
Selena, Justin and plans for a fourth studio album (Updated November 15, 2012)
The Selena Gomez of 2012 spent a good chunk of time working on her acting career. It wasn't until the fall that she appeared ready to embark again on creating new music, announcing the release date of a fourth studio album due out in March 2013.
Gomez's 2011 album, "When the Sun Goes Down," spawned the smash hit, "Love You Like a Love Song," plus a Best Female Video nomination from the MTV Video Music Awards. But the former Disney star was also caught up in a high-profile and very public relationship with Justin Bieber while balancing a demanding film schedule. By August 2012 she had been cast in seven upcoming films, including six in a lead role, and by November it was widely reported that Gomez and Bieber had ended their relationship due to busy schedules and "trust issues."
Using Twitter as a vehicle for promotion post-Bieber, Gomez used a visit with radio talk show (and American Idol) host Ryan Seacrest to have him deliver the news of her impending new project. She also revealed she wanted to try out new musical styles, and has apparent plans to work with good friend Taylor Swift.
About Selena Gomez
After gaining international fame for portraying Alex Russo in Disney Channel's hit show, "Wizard's of Waverly Place", Selena Gomez burst onto the music scene with both a thriving solo career and a band. As a soloist, her work has appeared on several motion picture and television albums such as the film "Tinkerbell", and a cover of "Cruella de Vil" for the "Disneymania 6" compilation album. Her first album with her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene, entitled "Kiss & Tell" was certified Gold on March 5, 2010. The album's single, "Naturally", was certified Platinum. Gomez and her band's second album "A Year Without Rain" was also certified Gold, debuting at number 4 on the Billboard 200. Fans everywhere seek Selena Gomez tickets to see this rising star live.

This contemporary adaptation takes on a carefully sculpted style, with cambered case, sapphire crystal and dial, combining both strength and finesse. This new model is set with diamonds throughout the entire surface of the case, and it takes all the skill of the Piaget jewel-setters to match so successfully the curves of its cushion shape. In order to cover it to the maximum and to show only a minimum area of gold, the stones are carefully arranged in staggered rows. Thus adorned, the Limelight cushion-shaped watch, operating with an automatic watch movement visible through a sapphire crystal case back, is available in pink gold with a brown alligator-skin strap.

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Megeve Map
Everything we love in Megeve
Explore the city by district:
The Rothschild banking family developed Megève in the 1920s as an alternative to St Moritz, which makes it among the first purpose-built French Alpine resorts.
Spreading out from the medieval centre of the village are the 20th century additions, which include smart hotels, chic boutiques and coffee shops in profusion. The town centre is pedestrianised, although watch out for the horse-drawn sleighs and mind your footing on the cobbled streets.
Fat wallets and fur coats go hand in hand – literally sometimes – in a place that continues to attract the beautiful people with old money. Not all visitors are dawn-to-dusk skiers either as French families visit Megève for an all-round winter holiday.
You don't have to be a Rothschild now to enjoy Megève, although there are plenty of opportunities to spend your money. Megève's close proximity to Geneva airport makes it a favourite with the British chalet market. There is a brisk weekend trade – French and international – as well.
Megève is an all-year town, unlike many of the high-altitude resorts further south in the French Alps, which means more to do off the slopes.
It's farming country and the grassy terrain around Megève and the satellite resorts of St Gervais and Les Contamines don't need much snow to make pisting possible. The downside of lush grass is it grows at low altitude. The season is relatively short and if Easter is late the snow can be thin by then.
What off-piste there is in the Mont Jolly, Mont Joux and Cote 2000 sectors is decent but not extensive.
If you run out of slopes to conquer, and there are 445kms of them on the Mont Blanc lift pass, there is always neighbouring Les Houches. Take the Mont Blanc Tramway from St Gervais to Bellevue at the bottom of the Chamonix Valley and spend a day in a gem of a resort. Last train back at ten to five – don't miss it.

ST. MARYS - The Elk County Humane Society has filed suit against its former treasurer, Richard A. Danz, 47, of 376 Walnut St., St. Marys, alleging he siphoned funds from the nonprofit corporation's financial accounts into his own personal bank account, as well as those of his financial and tax business located at 210 Brusselles St. in St. Marys.
According to court documents, during his tenure with the humane society which began in 2008 and ended with his resignation on June 22, 2012 after being confronted by humane society personnel about missing funds, Danz had sole control of the organization's finances, as well as accounts purposed for investments, bill payments, and paying of employee payrolls.
The suit filed in Elk County Court on July 31, 2012, alleges that during this time Danz embezzled funds from the humane society's financial accounts and used the monies for his own benefit, including the purchase of seven automobiles.
According to the complaint, on June 27, 2012, the humane society through its solicitor and attorney Thomas G. Wagner provided Danz with a letter demanding he surrender records pertaining to humane society finances in his possession, as well as account for nearly $300,000 withdrawn from the society's Certificate of Deposit and checking account at CNB Bank in St. Marys.

A round-up of the best online deals this week
Getting The Most For Your Money…
We all love a bargain, and in the current economic climate
it always pays to make your money go as far as you can. With this in mind we've
scoured the web, looking for all the best online digital camera deals.
Nothing is off our radar, from cheap compacts to professional-grade DSLRs.
Indeed, our only criteria is that the retailers must be reputable and offering
genuine goods intended for the UK market – you won't find any grey imports from
Hong Kong here.
We'll be updating the list once a week so if
there's anything that takes your fancy be prepared to strike quickly, as this
week's hot deal may well be out of stock next week…
Canon IXUS 500
£89.99 (was £149.99)
This stylish IXUS model is available online for
under £100. Like the IXUS 240 HS included below, the IXUS 500 is a 2012 model
and comes equipped with a 10MP CMOS sensor, a 12x optical zoom, 1080p Full HD
movie recording and built-in Image Stabilisation. Its real selling point,
however, is the highly stylish all-metal outer casing. A great little camera
for the money – especially at this price.
WDC score: 89%
See our review of the Canon IXUS 500
See this deal on the Argos website
Nikon D5100 with
18-55 VR zoom
£399.99 (was £779.99)
Launched in 2011, the D5100 has since been succeeded by the
D5200. However, you still get a lot of camera for the money with the D5100
packing a 16.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and an 11-point AF system. In addition the
D5100 also comes with a useful vari-angle 3-inch display that makes light work
of shooting from extreme angles.
Currys (or their partner company, PC World)
currently offer the best deal for a D5100 lens kit, and being a reputable
company you can be sure that the goods are intended for the UK market and not
grey imports. As an added sweetener, Nikon are currently offering £40 cashback
by redemption (until 31st May).
WDC score: 89%
See our review of the Nikon D5100
See this deal on the Curry's website
Nikon 1 V1 with
10-30mm kit lens
£249.99 (was £829.99)
Released at the end of 2011 the 10.1-megapixel V1 was
Nikon's first flagship compact system camera. Unlike the lower-spec J1, the V1
gets a high-resolution built-in electronic viewfinder that allows you to
compose images at eye-level. The V1 is built for speed, with up to 60fps
continuous shooting and a number of high-speed video recording options that
play back in slow-motion.
While it lost points in our review because it deemed
to be expensive, Tesco's knock-down price makes it something of a bargain.
WDC Score: 83%
See our review of the Nikon 1 V1
See this deal on the Tesco website
Fuji Z90
£59.99 (was £119)
The Z90 is a stylish little point-and-shoot compact that
comes equipped with a 14MP sensor, a 5x optical zoom and a 3-inch touchscreen
display for ease of use. Wrapped up in a metal casing and with a sliding front
that acts as the on/off switch and protects the lens, it's perfect for pockets
and handbags.
Tesco is offering it in either blue or pink and also chucks in an
Inov8 case and a Samsung 4GB card so you're all ready to go.
WDC Score: 86%

or alternatively
Get this camera from Amazon for £53.85 minus the free case and 4GB card
Canon IXUS 240HS
£99.99 (was £279)
Finding cheap cameras on Amazon is a bit like shooting fish
in a barrel; you don't have to look far to find big discounts.
While the IXUS 240
HS is actually a 2012 model that has since been replaced by the IXUS 260 HS
it's still a lot of camera for the money and comes with a 16.1MP CMOS sensor, a
5x optical zoom, a 3-inch touchscreen and built-in Wi-Fi functionality for
wireless image transfer. All for under a hundred quid.
WDC Score: Not

Olympus E-P3 and
40-150mm Portrait Zoom Kit
£449 (was c.£800)
With the E-P5 still not yet in the shops, the two-year-old
E-P3 remains the flagship model in Olympus' PEN range of retro-rangefinder
inspired compact system cameras. Equipped with a 12.3MP Micro Four Thirds
sensor and a super-fast 35-point autofocus system, the E-P3 is wrapped up in a
durable and stylish metal body.
WEX are offering the E-P3 plus a 40-150mm
portrait zoom and a PEN Street Case for £449 – a saving of over £250. Pair this
with a 12-42mm standard kit zoom (c.£200) and you'll have a top-notch camera
and lens kit to cover all eventualities.

Fujifilm X10
£299 (was £499)
The X10 is an excellent advanced compact that has since been
superseded by the newer X20. But with the X20 still costing around £460, the
X10 represents excellent value for money. In addition to the 2/3-inch 12MP
EXR-CMOS sensor, the X10 also offers an optical viewfinder that allows you to
shoot with the camera held to your eye. Rounding things off are a manually
adjusted 4x optical zoom and a generous range of shooting modes.

£379 (was £500)
The newest model of all the cameras listed here, the A58 is
an entry-level level 'DSLR' from Sony's acclaimed single-lens translucent (SLT)

Like the Florida League, Leagues across the country are seeking solutions to the issue of redistricting and gerrymandered Congressional districts.
The Local Arrangements Committee of the 2014 National Convention has been hard at work for almost one year to make our upcoming National Convention in Dallas a success. As the host League, the League of Women Voters of Dallas is leading the way.
I'm the mother of two small children, and while my children are too small to understand the issues on the ballot or being discussed in the government meetings we attend, I am teaching them everyday lessons they can carry with them.
This month marks the fourth anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The League was a strong advocate for the legislation when it was debated and passed by Congress in 2010.

It's like hearing your favorite arena rock band playing an acoustic set in a club.
Music City Baroque strips down a full orchestra to only about a dozen players. Patrons go to churches — not symphony halls — to hear music written by composers such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, who emerged more than 300 years ago in the Baroque era.
And, like Renaissance festival jousters or Civil War re-enactors, Baroque players seek authentic instruments and playing styles from the 1600s and 1700s for their concerts.
"We haven't been modernized," says Blair School of Music music professor Karen Clarke, the acting artistic director for Music City Baroque.
Flutes are made of wood, and you might occasionally see a guitar-like stringed instrument called a lute.
Generally though, most instruments look the same, but the strings and bows are different, explains cellist Christopher Stenstrom, who plays for Music City Baroque and the Nashville Symphony.
"Now we use metal strings, extremely high tension, powerful and bright, meant to project to the back of the concert hall," he said. "In baroque, we're using gut strings that really aren't loud at all.
"So it's a softer sound, it's often a warmer sound, and it doesn't carry as well, so it works better on a smaller stage or in a church."
Clarke adds, "The sounds in general are more mellow."
Audiences usually number fewer than 200, making for an overall more intimate concert experience.
"It sort of draws you in a little bit more rather than playing in a giant concert hall," Stenstrom says.
Preparation goes beyond getting together for rehearsal: Stenstrom says you've gotta do your homework.
"You try to focus on style, by reading about what the performers of the time said and the composer of the time said, you learn what was valued," he said. "There's an academic side that's very important that informs our playing."
That's not an issue for members of Music City Baroque — many come from music faculties of Vanderbilt, Belmont and MTSU.
Other players come from Nashville Symphony, and for them, the draw is to play pieces that were written for small ensembles.
"Someone like Bach, he was writing for the church; that was his job," Stenstrom said. "He was very much a working musician.
"He was always working for the ensemble he had at the time, which was a small choir and a few musicians he would bring in. So he wasn't writing symphonies."
While Music City Baroque performers enjoy the intimacy of the small performances, Clarke says they are looking for new patrons, through a website and through word of mouth.
"We're trying to build audiences," she said. "I think there are a lot of lovers of this type of music and we're beginning to find them."

About LIM College
LIM College SIFE Team Advances to Semi-Finals in National Competition
Best showing in LIM College SIFE team's history
The LIM College Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team met with success at SIFE's National Expo in Minneapolis on May 11-13. The SIFE team, for the first time in LIM College history, won their league competition and advanced to the semi-finals. The LIM College team was one of only 20 SIFE teams across the nation to attain this honor.
SIFE works with teams of college students on campuses around the world to teach ethical and socially conscious business practices. LIM College SIFE has sought to improve the lives of individuals through service-oriented business projects. This year, SIFE completed seven projects, including providing job search training for women in need, coaching local entrepreneurs in merchandising for a small children's boutique, and helping a young entrepreneur and LIM College alumna grow her business in manufacturing eco-friendly accessories in Guatemala.
The following students comprised the LIM College SIFE team in Minneapolis:
Tyler Emerson
Jenna Igneri
Katie Lemay
Patrick Mays
Dasha (Darya) Mishina
Samantha Rego
Melanie Stieglitz
SIFE also develops in its members academic excellence and professional achievement, qualities that are abundantly evident among the LIM College SIFE students. All senior members of the team received job offers from their Senior Co-op internship employers.
The success of these students would not be possible without the perseverance and vision of the LIM College SIFE Advisor, Professor Marla Greene, who, with the help of Professors Charles Fradella and Mary Ann Dray, coached the SIFE team to new heights this year.

On Tara Nevins' 1999 solo debut, Mule to Ride, she displays the earthy, earnest singing and playing that she's known for with her group, Donna the Buffalo. As with her work in the band, she accents her lilting voice and guitar work with flourishes of fiddle and accordion. With friends and guests like Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Christine Balfa, and Don Rigsby lending a hand, Mule to Ride has a fun, festive feel that seeps into every song, whether it's reggae, an old-time jam, or one of Nevins' own songs.

First, a warning: This bot is basically a microcontroller-brain version of the classic BEAM 4-legged walker. The BEAM 4-legger may be easier for you to make if you aren't already set up for microcontroller programming and just want to build a walker.
On the other hand, if you're getting started with microprocessor programming and have a couple servos kicking around, this here's your ideal project! You get to play with walker mechanics without having to worry about the fussy analog BEAM microcore tweaking.
So although this isn't really a BEAM bot, the following two webpages are great resources for any 4-legged walker:
Bram van Zoelen's 4-legged walker tutorial has a good overview of the mechanics and theory.
I took my leg design off his website.
Chiu-Yuan Fang's walker site is also pretty good for BEAM stuff and some more-advanced walker designs.
Done reading? Ready to get building?
Step 1: Gather parts, measure, plan a bit
Parts list:
2x Tower Hobbies TS-53 Servos
20in heavy copper wire: 12in for front legs, 8in for rear. I had 10-gauge. 12-gauge should work, but I'm guessing.
Battery is a 3.6v NiMH that was selling for cheap online.
The microcontroller brain is an AVR ATMega 8.
The frame is Sintra, which is hella cool. It's a plastic foamboard that bends when you heat it up in boiling water. You can cut it, drill it, matte-knife it, and then bend it to shape. I got mine at Solarbotics.
Other parts:
Drilled project board for the circuit
Snap-off headers (male and female) for the servo and battery connections
A 28-pin socket for the ATMega
Super-duper glue
Soldering iron and solder, wire
Some tiny bolts to hold the motors on
Matte knife
Here, you see me measuring out the parts, making a sketch for the frame, and then grabbing a ruler to make a paper template. I used the template as a guide to mark with a pen where I'd drill holes in the Sintra.
Well done mate ! interesting project really. It's simple but effective! Thanks for sharing.
firstname.lastname@example.com is my adress.
You can take a look at the datasheets, there you will find information about the microcontroller. You will find C code examples in the datasheets too.
To find the datasheet of the microcontroller you want, take a look at Atmel's site (for AVR's), or try to search on google something like "ATMega8 datasheet". It may be on the first results.
You can't use C++ in microcontrollers, btw.
C++ = busted Arduino (if you're using one.)
Try getting the Turbo C bible...worked for me.
Might you, kind sir, help me with this problem of mine?
Good luck.
you probably mean the signal wire.
On the signal wire you provide anywhere from a 1-2ms pulse of 5v every 20 ms. 1ms and 2ms make the servo move to its limits, 1.5ms centers the servo, and everything in between moves the servo everywhere in between. Good luck. :)
Once again, Great Project
Hope this helps,
and ermmm where did you get the brain?

Federal Facilities - Department of Defense
The Federal Facilities Branch's Department of Defense team consists of Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) which oversee environmental cleanups resulting from past improper hazardous materials/waste handling and disposal operations primarily at Department of Defense (DoD) installations. These installations include Air Force, Army, and Navy/Marine facilities. In addition, the section RPMs oversee hazardous waste cleanups at non-military facilities such as TVA and NASA.
The RPM's primary objective is to ensure statutory compliance with federal environmental laws governing hazardous waste cleanups and provide assistance to the DoD in their environmental efforts. The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), are the primary environmental laws which apply to hazardous waste cleanups at federal facilities.
The staff is organized into two teams, one of which deals with military installations being closed and/or realigned under the Base Closure and Realignment Act and the other which oversees cleanup processes at active military and non-military installations. The DoD teams operate under the partnering concept in their internal and external environments. This concept facilitates open communication and information sharing among EPA, States and Federal Facilities. Externally, partnering enhances and expedites the remedial activities required to reach a final cleanup at the DoD installations. Internally it provides an avenue for technology information sharing. This concept not only enhances the working environment for the RPMs, it also enhances the information sharing and relationships with the communities. See the Department of Defense website for more information or Records of Decision.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
How come some people only play for a couple years then lose interest? And how do ya keep people in to it?
Views: 569
I played and ran tourneys for about 12 years,played almost every day during that time then things happened and I developed other interests like going back to school and sand volleyball and played disc maybe 5 times from 1992 to 2010. Then they built a course near me and I got hooked again. There are still many players from the time I was playing and some doing quite well Like Ken Climo for example. But as others have said life changes and other interests will draw people away,though some of us show up again.
Children and tendinitis are my reason for not playing as much, especially tournaments. Tendinitis has taken the biggest toll on me this year. Even putting hurts so I decided to quit for this year in hopes of being able to play again next year.
How do you catch that tendinitus?
Do you mean Tendonitis ?
Tendinitis (informally also tendonitis)
Like me , I have lost my health. It would be nice to be
completely healthy again, so I could atleast compete !
Agreed. I am also perfectly content with my insane obsession with discs.
I agree completely with this , a simple example would be somebody who complains and does nothing. Somebody who walks by a piece of trash and doesn't pick it up or a step that needs fixed , they walk around it. I try to lead by example but they seem to think well let mike do it.
There is so much to do in the world, it's like saying you have to play 'disc golf' and like it or else.
You should have posted "What would you be doing if there were NO DISC GOLF?"
Growing up I participated in every sport that was available, it's called an open mind and being well rounded....
I enjoyed getting good at more than one sport.
If I were younger I'd try this:
By the way I do mountain bike but not as extreme as this.....

It was a weekend of HEAD Racquet Rebels, who dominated the first round of the Davis Cup 2014. Andy Murray was helping Britain to a first quarterfinal since 1986 in a 3-1 win over the US on clay in San Diego. Murray, the world No. 6, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Radical, won his opening single against Donald Young and beat Sam Querrey in reverse singles to complete the historic success.
"It's different in Davis Cup. You have a responsibility to your teammates to play well, but at the same time I have a lot of experience," said Murray. "You know how to deal with it. We have a really good team spirit; I've known a lot of the team for a really long time. It's just nice to play with those guys."
Tomas Berdych took the two-time champion Czech Republic into the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup World Group, completing a personal weekend victory in a 3-1 win over the Netherlands. The ATP No. 7, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Instinct, clinched the tie by beating fellow Racquet Rebel Thiemo de Bakker 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. The Czechs, winners of the last two Davis Cup editions, will travel to Japan for the quarter-final in April.
Australian Open semi-finalist Berdych won his opening singles over Igor Sijsling in straight sets and teamed with formidable HEAD partner Radek Stepanek for the doubles wins. "We really wanted to win this one," said Berdych.
In Frankfurt, HEAD's Tommy Haas put in a winning doubles performance alongside Philipp Kohlschreiber for a defeat of Spaniards David Marrero and Fernando Verdasco 7-6(5), 6-7(9), 7-6(7), 6-3 as Germany reached the quarter-finals 4-1. Also contributing was HEAD Racquet Rebel Florian Mayer, who won his single against Feliciano Lopez 7-6(8), 7-6(4), 1-6, 5-7, 6-3.
France, with HEAD's Richard Gasquet, who recommends the YouTekTM IG Extreme, swamped Australia 5-0 with Gasquet beating Nick Kyrgios 7-6(3), 6-2, 6-2 and winning the deciding third point in the doubles alongside Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
In Paris at the Open GDF Suez, Racquet Rebel Maria Sharapova played her second semi-final of the season after her return from a shoulder injury in early 2014. The Russian who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Instinct won the first set but was defeated 6-4, 3-6, 4-6 by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
In Pattaya, HEAD's Peng Shuai won the doubles title with partner Zhang Shuai over the third-seeded team of Russian Alla Kudryavtseva and Anastasia Rodionova from Australian 3-6, 7-6(5), 10-6 (Match TB). It was the first title for Peng and Zhang. Peng now owns 13 WTA doubles honours.

Help with ADHD?
I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life, while struggling through and trying to fight it just can''t afford to quit or lose another job. I am very open minded and wish to learn as much as I can about everything but this memory of mine and lack of focus won't allow it. Please at least. point me in the right direction.
Gail .
Dec 29 2012: MEDITATION!!!! There is evidence that it works - but it's not a quick fix.
- +2
You may find it difficult because of the ADHD, so consider starting with training wheels. Use binaural beats. You must listen to them with STEREO headset, and when the thought try to distract you, if you can't ignore them, just focus on the tone.
There are several types of meditation, but the one you are looking for is the one where you sit comfortably (no lotus position required) and relax into yourself. Let your thoughts go (the goal is to not think). Do this 20 mins 2ce/day for the rest of your life. You will be transformed.
Meditation reduces activity in the amygdala (fear/anxiety center) of the brain. It is responsible for impulsive actions. At the same time it increases activity in the frontal cortex (executive center) that is responsible for RATIONAL long-term decisions. It even thickens the frontal cortex and can increase IQ up to 6 points.
It will probably take 3 months before you notice a change in yourself. It happens so naturally. But it may take years before you & your doctor agree that you are ready to eliminate meds.
There are free binaural beats available on-line. You can also find them on YouTube. Those come with pictures (videos), but I recommend that you close your eyes rather than watch the videos. Your goal is to reduce thought distractions and videos tend to increase them for me. But you can try it both ways and find the way that is most helpful.
This really works. There is growing evidence that meditation is like some sort of a miracle drug.

Dec 31 2012: I feel that you should consult a psychologist as ADHD is not something which can simply be controlled by willpower. Perhaps they will teach you some good coping strategies to cope with ADHD. Other than that, would it be helpful to find a fast paced job where you can stay on your feet?Dec 30 2012: mark - I am an INTJ and a former physics graduate student before my Dad convinced me to bewcome a lawyer.
- 0
Okay I had to do something else after I went as far as I could. I tend to try to solve problems. Maybe you don't have a problem. Follow your bliss and find a real Mark job. Be happy and Godspeed. That's all I am trying to say.Dec 29 2012: Pat for some reason it's not allowing me to send that email......send me the answer
" Please don't get me wrong binaural works, it will take time but it works. NLP well I love NLP but the fact that I can't retain what I read or listen to sometimes do help that. Meds who doesn't like Meds if I can remember to take them LOL"
I understand exactly what you are saying, without a doubt but all I wanted was to hear what you are about to say...the real answers....
Dec 30 2012: It should be back up soon.Dec 29 2012: I believe I know what got me here o.k but I need help finding a way out...I'm very smart....I know what the issue is the brain o.k something isn't doing what it should be.Dec 29 2012: I will not settle for something that I have to like so that I can be focused. I want to focus at any moment I want to learn everything and have no limits. And not have to listen to strange Binaural frequencies or read about NLP to do so. I want to read any book and remember its contents even if I hate the book I want to be able to tell what I hate about it and articulate. The sky is the limit for me and I refuse to be stuck jumping up and down 2ft and letting gravity get the best of me. I know there are scientific ways of changing the way my brain fires as a sort of mental tune up. I want to know how to physically fix it not just change it by way of free gimmick.
Well free is always good sorry I lied on that last sentence, but you get what I'm trying to say. I guess I want to turn my brain in to a super computer at any cost. If science has proven to know how the brain fires all its neurons and receptors, modalities and so forth. Well I'm a guinipig and wish to be used as a computer, anything is better than what I am presently going through. Please don't get me wrong binaural works, it will take time but it works. NLP well I love NLP but the fact that I can't retain what I read or listen to sometimes do help that. Meds who doesn't like Meds if I can remember to take them LOL
I really appreciate the way you all have pointed me in directions thank you and I am very grateful that in the past few hours I got more help on TED then in 10 years. Spending so much money and waiting to see psychologists, telling them what Meds I should take. If I had TED 10 years ago I would have been fixed within months or upgraded at the least. Am I rambling sorry I get that way sometimes hey I stayed focused enough to write three paragraphs. I guess I'll stick to the Binaural, NLP, and Meds and keep on this journey…… Thanks
Dec 29 2012: One thing I forgot to tell you about. Most ppl with ADHD have an ability to "hyperfocus." It's the only way I got through school. You might want to learn how to leverage this ability with your job selection. You will be much happier.
For example, if you can play video games for hours without stopping, maybe that should lead you to a career
Stop fighting it or medicating it or trying to get your brain to fire differently. It's a gift and very valuable if you learn how to use it correctly. I tell people my brain does not work like other peoples. It does a lot of things at once. And at my age, I have yet to even finish a book I hated let alone remember it. Good luck on your journey.Dec 29 2012: With all due respect Mark I would be doing you a disservice not to indicate you have bought into the "diagnosis" and are acquiescing to it which will be a self inflicted disability. In some sense I get it is easier and you do not have to try and maybe the government will give you money to be disabled and to the nice drug companies that are going to "help".
Sorry I'm not buying. Try to explain your predicament to a starving child in a third world country or someone with terminal cancer or a soldier with half of his limbs blown off to protect the freedom that you casually discard. Get over it and deal with it.
Dec 29 2012: Pat I have had a very rough life, I work very hard and a lot of my best friends served, I know people who are terminally ill. I never asked for this problem ok nothing has been self inflicted. Maybe my personal childhood issues caused it but regardless I'm asking for direction not contribution, My father left me with a mother that had mental issues and the list can go on....I have knowone to blame but myself I should have left home when i was a year old as soon as I knew my mother was ill right.....No I'm fighting I would have in-listed but I didn't graduate.
with all due respect diagnosis=funds your right but I still fight every day and work hard but I want to fix my way of learning to learn why what I learned won't stick and relearn seems to be the thing to do....
Dec 29 2012: "I guess I'll stick to the Binaural, NLP, and Meds and keep on this journey"
That statement does not indicate that you are fighting?
If you are for real private email me, I have some Real answers to this problem.Dec 29 2012: When I was a kid they "diagnosed" me with what back then was called "learning disabilities" and prescribed Ritalin. Admittedly it did help me to concentrate better but it also caused me to lose weight and get 4 hr sleep a night which is not much for a kid. After a few months I started throwing the poison in the trash.
Here is the main point I want to make. BE YOUR OWN ADVISER. The hell with the psychobabble. Only recently did I realize that I do not have a learning disability, I had this "diagnosis" stuck in my head for 4 decades. Be careful what you accept as fact.
In fact I am very smart as far as I know, sometimes I think I am almost as smart as John Smith.
Here is what you can do about it. They are saying you have an "attention disorder" first screw what they think. What do you think???
Concentration is a good skill that is acquired and is a major factor in sucess. IF two athletes are competing the one with better concentration will win. Business is the same deal, a profession, an artist, a tradesman, a student.
I and many call this being in the present, the zone, now.
When it comes to study the area that will cause you the most grief is not understanding or misunderstanding the terminology. FIND OUT where you last understood the area that you are having trouble with just at the tail end of where you were doing well is where you misunderstood a word regarding what you are studying.
Loose the crutch it is bullshit. The only person that can fix this is YOU.
Private email me and I will give you some pointers.Dec 29 2012: ADHD is rampant in my family. I have it to a certain extent. I have to have several projects going at once to be able to switch out and focus on something else for a while. The men in my family have a harder time with it. None of the men in my immediate family ever finished high school (3 + generations).
The job is key. Most of the men in my family do manual work like fix cars and motorcycles or cargo. These tasks do not require a mental focus like accounting would. The accomplishment is the reward and you have to keep at it to learn that.
Medication does help but most of us cannot deal with the side effects. They can be terrible.
There are all sorts of support available and many have helpful tips for organizing in your specific area. So some help organize finances, others help organize work space, others help organize how you do your work. One thing that has helped several people in my family is headphones. Music, or audio books seem to help them stay focused on a task.
Completing a task is the hardest thing. I have learned not to have more than three projects going or they don't get done. It takes practice to learn how to manage and organize so don't expect a quick fix. You have to learn what works for you, not what works for other people that is why it is important to try new things and discard what does not work.
The other thing you need to know is how valuable having ADHD is. Yes it does interfere with modern western lifestyle but it is great. You will tend to be ahead in your thinking, way ahead of most of those who surround you. They think linear and we do not. They have to do one thing, complete it, and move to the next thing. Drives me batty but it's how they work. We can see behind, jump ahead, ump to the side, and see from above all at the same time so our priorities shift faster than most peoples. There is nothing wrong with that.
With practice you will be able to manage and have a great and wonderful life. Trust me on thisDec 29 2012: Maybe self-hypnosis would help,but if not it's medicate or don't Unless you can anchor the work the meds do some early NLP books also talk about ADHD.Of course,your choice of jobs could be a problem too. Talk about wieners and losers has become very popular - I've seen lots of alleged losers,but I've seen few wieners. Be realistic. Godspeed.
Dec 29 2012: I've been looking into NLP I understand all of the views and strategies, my lack of focus and memory seems to keep me from retaining the good stuff. And I've seen a lot of losers as well I'm not letting my loss's get in the way I'm way stronger then ever. If I can just find a way to erase and restore the hard drive and wipe the memory in my mind. Or upgrade the software I wouldn't need to worry about losing. I know that I can find another job that's not hard at all. I'm tired of it though and my mind really doesn't kick in when I need it to. Don't get me wrong I have know problem being a loser or a wiener I just want to retain everything about both so I can choose one and stick to it.....

Bali's Mesmerizing Kecak Dance
The Kecak Dance is an especially unique and possibly the most dramatic of all Balinese dances. A combination of dance and drama, the Kecak dance depicts the Hindu epic, "Ramayana," that tells the story of Prince Rama, who with the help of the monkey-like Vanara defeats the evil King Ravana to rescue his Princess Sita. Kecak also has roots in Sanghyang, a sacred ritual based on the idea that during the performance, hyangs, or spiritual entities will enter and possess the bodies of the dancers.
Kecak Dance is always performed just before sunset. As the drama unfolds, the scene is cast in the last rays of the sun when its orb slowly disappears behind the glowing horizon of the sea. The story continues into the darkness of nightfall as dancers are dramatically lit only by the light thrown from the flames of torches casting long shadows.
The dance begins with the percussive chants of a 150-man chorus clad in checkered cloths around their waists, sitting in concentric circles, forming a stage in the center. With burning flames as the only lighting, this cacophonous play creates a mystical atmosphere, illuminating the performers and audience alike in a haunting glow. The circular ensemble sways rhythmically back and forth and waves their hands as the drama unfolds, yet above the chants of the swaying masses, the narrator's voice can be heard, telling the tale. As the plot progresses, the ring of acapella percussionists enhance the performance of the lead actors in the center by acting as the armies in the battle scenes, and even unite as an enormous, twisting serpent in the performance's final climax.A triumph of style and emotion over actual story, the Kecak dance is sure to keep every viewer captivated for every second of the show.
Unlike other Balinese dances, the Kecak is not performed to the accompaniment of Gamelan, which is the Balinese "orchestra." Instead it is enacted to the sounds of 150 or more male voices chanting "chak-achak-achak," hence giving the dance its name. Another unique factor is that the Kecak is also one of the only dances that was created for the sole purpose of entertaining foreigners. It is almost never watched by the Balinese in their villages.
Kecak was originally a trance ritual accompanied by a male chorus. In the 1930's, the German painter and musician Walter Spies took a deep interest in the ritual while he was living in Bali. He then worked together with Balinese dancer Wayan Limbak to recreate it into a drama, combining themes and movements from the traditional Sanghyang exorcism rituals with portions of the Hindu epic, Ramayana. The intention was to create a dance that was both authentic to Balinese traditions, yet appealing to a Western audience.
Wayan Limbak later toured the globe with a troupe of Balinese performers, thus popularizing the dance and making it famous throughout the world.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu is one of Bali's 9 main temples, and is one of the places you can personally witness the Kecak Dance. The temple is perched at the edge of a steep cliff, overlooking the crashing waves 70 meters below. Originally a very small temple, Pura Luhur Uluwatu was first expanded by a Javanese sage during the 11th century.
As the temple is sacred ground, one must be properly dressed before entering, as respect to the Balinese Hindus. Sarongs are available free at the entrance for women wearing clothing that does not cover their knees. Visitors to the temple can feel free to roam about and explore the temple grounds, but the central courtyard can only be entered during special rituals.
The Kecak dance is performed at the temple every evening at 6:00 p.m. in an open-air arena to the backdrop of the ember sky, as the glowing red sun sinks beneath the horizon. Tickets to the dance can be purchased for approximately IDR 75,000. Visitors should note that during high season, tickets are often sold out and should be booked a few days in advance.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu is located on the island of Bali, about 45 minutes from Nusa Dua, or 1 hour 15 minutes from Kuta or Tuban area.
Other locations to watch this dramatic dance at sunset are at Tanah Lot with Bali's iconic Tanah Lot temple as background, or at the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
St. Mary's public schools have backed off implementing new rules for visitors that initially limited homemade food and hugs for students from anyone other than their own parents, Superintendent Michael Martirano said this week.
What were called "best practices" for elementary school visitors outlined at a school board meeting last week should have been presented only as recommendations, the superintendent said Thursday, and they were incorrectly announced by school officials as new rules that would go into effect immediately.
In addition, those recommendations were revised Wednesday, and hugs are no longer mentioned. The new recommendations are up for discussion only now, Martirano said, and could influence a change in the school board's policy that will be considered later this spring or summer.
The original rules drew international media attention and spurred hundreds of comments about the school system, some of which were nasty, he said.
Martirano acknowledged that school staff should not have said the recommendations were going into effect at schools immediately. He also said that appropriate hugs are allowed in schools.
"I admit the message was distorted, from us," and then in turn some media and social networks sensationalized the news, he said.
He said the initial presentation to the school board on March 13 was simply "a compilation of the summary of discussions," that had occurred last fall during four meetings of a visitor committee made up of several parents and principals. The rules were summarized at that meeting in a PowerPoint presentation.
In a recorded telephone call to parents Wednesday, Martirano said the local and national media reports had sensationalized concerns and examples that were presented at the meeting. The superintendent acknowledged Thursday that the information presented in The Enterprise in a March 15 article was an accurate representation of what was presented at the meeting.
This week, some elementary schools sent out the original rules that included limits on hugging students. By Wednesday the revised recommendations were sent out, with much softer wording.
In the revised recommendations, limiting hugs is not mentioned. Also not mentioned was forbidding distribution of birthday invitations at schools, part of the rules originally presented. Those topics and others will be addressed in a volunteer training manual or by individual school parent groups.
"We've got to be a friendly environment. We've got to be welcoming. But at the same time, we have to be vigilant," Martirano said.
School staff will develop a volunteer training manual that will be used at all schools, he said. That manual will give specifics about appropriate and inappropriate touching as well as other best practices for visitors and volunteers, the superintendent said.
"If a student wants to hug me, I'm going to hug him back," Cathy Allen, board member, said Wednesday.
Allen said that she stands by her first reaction to hearing about the no-hugs rule. "I think this is horrible," she said at the time.
She said the school board has received many comments about the best practices.
"I thought they were quite clear in what was being said" about the rules and their immediate implementation at the March 13 school board meeting, Allen said.
"I think the prescriptive nature of the rules [that were presented last week] are of a concern, overall," she said. Allen said she thinks the best practices should be phrased more as "expectations," and that would allow individual schools more leeway in their interpretations.
Allen said ways of protecting children other than simply banning hugs could include teaching children how to react when they are in an uncomfortable situation, providing parents instructions about how to talk to their children about such situations, and offering parent volunteer training.
Some schools already offer training to parent volunteers, but standardizing the training could improve the process, she said.
"Hugs are allowed," Sal Raspa, board chair, said Thursday. "You have to be aware and vigilant, obviously, in this day in time."
Last week during the meeting Raspa expressed outrage that the school system was forced to consider rules on hugs because of current culture.
Monique Marsh of Leonardtown, one of the 10 parents on the visitor committee, said she stands by the best practices as originally presented, and that they are reasonable and at the same time improve safety at schools.
She said that she agrees with the no-hugging recommendation, even though she is used to getting hugs regularly from children other than her own when she volunteers at schools. Still, she said she would have a hard time turning away a student who wanted a hug.
"We do plan on meeting again" and reviewing the response from the community, Marsh said.
Another committee member, parent Kathy DeAngelis of Mechanicsville, said she hopes that schools won't stop volunteers from appropriately hugging children. "We can't let society control us," she said. She encouraged parents to visit schools to see what actually occurs.
"In the end, I was hoping common sense would prevail," she said.
For instance, the rules announced last week said siblings not enrolled in school should not visit during the school day. DeAngelis said that younger siblings certainly should be welcomed to certain classroom events, with a teacher's permission, and to assemblies where families are invited. The revised best practices issued this week specifically allow for siblings at "family events."
"We've got to get this in order," DeAngelis said.
She said she is looking forward to the continued meetings of the committee to iron out issues.

How To Buy Snowshoes
Snowshoeing is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Although a few snowshoe models are designed for specific activities and conditions, most come in only a few sizes and are fairly versatile.
Types of snowshoes
All styles of snowshoes will let you travel across the snow without sinking or struggling because they spread your weight evenly across a large, flat surface area. In general, the heavier the person or the lighter and drier the snow, the larger the snowshoe needs to be.
