An American Life.
By Jean Edward Smith.
Illustrated. 835 pp. New York:
Henry Holt & Company. $35.
Franklin Roosevelt's aide Harry Hopkins once told the writer Robert Sherwood that it was a miracle that the United States, which had neglected its Army from 1919 to 1939 in a shameful manner, produced so large and so brilliant a group of World War II military leaders, competent to deal with complex and unique problems that were as much political as military. Indeed it was, and among those career soldiers Hopkins was talking about, none surpassed Gen. Lucius D. Clay (1898-1978), who as the head of the American occupation of Germany after the war had an impact on today's world that can hardly be exaggerated. In a very real sense, he was the father of West Germany.
Born in Georgia, the son of a United States Senator, Clay was educated at West Point, then entered the Army Corps of Engineers, where he had a brilliant career. During the Depression, he worked closely with Hopkins, Sam Rayburn and other central figures in the New Deal. During World War II, he served as the War Department's director of materiel. His only instructions were to ''find out what the Army needs and get it.'' Clay spent billions of dollars, without a hint of scandal, while maintaining excellent relations with Congress (John Kenneth Galbraith called him ''one of the most skillful politicians ever to wear the uniform of the United States Army'') and insured that the men at the front got the firepower and support they needed.
It was a great accomplishment, but as Jean Edward Smith writes in ''Lucius D. Clay,'' ''Clay's principal achievement was the creation of a prosperous, stable, and democratic Germany.'' He ''presided at the birth of the West German Basic Law (constitution),'' was the instigator of currency reform and was the driving force behind the 1948 Berlin airlift, which was the critical turning point in post-World War II European history.
Mr. Smith's biography is masterly. The author of ''The Defense of Berlin'' and ''Germany Beyond the Wall'' and a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, Mr. Smith had access to Clay's papers (he edited them) and to the general himself. Mr. Smith provides large sections of his interviews with Clay, mixing them with his own research and analysis quite successfully. Indeed, a brief review can only begin to delineate the riches of this book, or to describe the character and accomplishments of its subject.
The high point in the story is the Berlin airlift. In April 1948, with the Russian blockade of Berlin about to begin, official Washington believed the Western position in the city was untenable and wanted to withdraw. Clay thought the Russians were bluffing, that they did not want war, even with their 10-to-1 manpower advantage in Germany. He also thought the stakes were such as to make withdrawal unthinkable.
''Why are we in Europe?'' Clay asked in a teleconference message. ''We have lost Czechoslovakia. We have lost Finland. Norway is threatened. We retreat from Berlin. . . . After Berlin will come western Germany. . . . If we mean to hold Europe against communism, we must not budge.'' Mr. Smith believes that had it not been for Clay, the United States would have cut and run, and he is quite convincing on the point.
Clay worked for a unified, democratic Germany; he fought hard against the division of the country; he believed it was the French far more than the Russians who blocked German unification. It was Clay who insisted on giving the Germans self-government right away, who frustrated French moves to split off the Ruhr and Rhineland, who carried out the most vigorous Nazi war-crime trials of any of the occupying Allied forces.
''Being Military Governor was a pretty heady job,'' said Clay's successor, John J. McCloy. ''It was the nearest thing to a Roman proconsulship the modern world afforded. You could turn to your secretary and say, 'Take a law.' ''
There was much, much more. Although Clay was unappreciated at home, the Germans know what they owe him. At the foot of his grave at West Point there is a memorial from the citizens of Berlin: ''Wir danken dem Bewahrer unserer Freiheit'' (''We thank the defender of our freedom''). When he left the city in 1949, West Berliners by the tens of thousands lined the streets from his headquarters to Tempelhof airfield. On retirement, not incidentally, his total personal assets amounted to a $3,000 family savings account.
After the Army, Clay went into private business and engaged in some politics on the side. And, typically, he was hugely successful at both (he was instrumental in getting Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for the Presidency in 1952 and played a central role in the campaign that followed). Mr. Smith once asked Clay why the Continental Can Company and Lehman Brothers were interested in a retired general. ''Well,'' Clay replied, ''I don't know of anyone who probably had as much experience with the full range of the nation's economy as I did while Deputy Director of War Mobilization in World War II. And I don't know of anyone else on Wall Street who ever conducted a major currency reform. Or for that matter, who established a government.'' I don't either. I recommend this book without reservation.

The Top 3 Retirement Myths -- Busted
By Frank Addessi
My late grandfather used to say he would retire when he was dead. True to his word he worked until the day he passed away at 84. Like my grandfather before me I have no intention of stopping work and will probably die at my keyboard with emails from editors about missed deadlines piling up.
Find out now: How much do I need to save for retirement?
Retirement Myth 1 – Retirement is Like Vacation
The fact of the matter is retirement can be a lot more like work than vacation. Many people put a lot of effort into trying not to be bored. Sure sitting on a beautiful beach or fishing or whatever you like doing on vacation is a great while you're on vacation but when it's all you do every day, it can start to get tired.
Related Article: How Prepared Are You For Retirement?
Vacations are something we look forward to and have a choice about. Retirement has no such choices. One day rolls endlessly, mindlessly into the next. Don't take my word for it. Think about your last great long vacation and how by the end of it you wanted to go back to work, to your life.
The Solution can be as simple as retiring from one job or career and starting a new one. One way to look at it is to think of your work-life before retirement as working for someone else and your work-life after retirement as working for you. Working at something you are passionate about is great way to slow the aging process and stay active. Because you're "retired" you can do it on your own terms.
Retirement Myth 2 – No Money Problems
This retirement myth comes about from the misconception that life magically becomes less expensive when you retire. It doesn't. Food, fuel, clothing all cost as much as before you retired and what you save on commuting you're likely going to want to spend on keeping busy.
Related Article: The Hidden Costs of Downsizing Your Home
Retirement also means increased medical expenses not because retirement is physically taxing or otherwise hazardous to your health but because you are older and body parts start wearing out faster. Older bodies are like classic cars, in order to keep moving down the road they need a little more TLC.
The Solution starts with not counting on social security alone as your primary means of support. The older you are now, the more you should be putting aside for retirement every year. There are two retirement savings traps people fall into. The first is when they are young and believe retirement is too far in the future to concern themselves with right now so they save little to nothing.
Related Article: 5 Ways Your Cost of Living Will Decrease in Retirement
The second retirement trap occurs when the kids are grown and finished with school and before retirement when you put off saving for later so you can start treating yourself now. Striking a balance in your 50s between enjoying your relative youth with increasing savings for the not so distant future is the key.
Retirement Myth 3 – Medicare!
This retirement myth is that starting Medicare will cut my health care costs dramatically. While Medicare is a wonderful program, it is not the be all and end all of personal health care coverage. You will need a Medicare supplement policy to help round out your protection and even with a good supplement you will still have out of pocket expenses.
Related Article: 5 Ways You Could Be Sabotaging Your Retirement
I'm sure there is some direct mathematical corollary between our age in years and the number of prescription drugs we take. Even if there is no such thing as a fixed relationship, the amount and frequency of medications and their associated cost (deductibles and co-pays) does increase with age.
The Solution is to stay active and get plenty of exercise and eat and sleep well. We could all get away with staying out late and neglecting our bodies when we are in our twenties but we don't retire in our twenties. The best way to control increased health care cost is to need less healthcare in the first place. That means taking better care of yourself now and as you get older.

Hello all. I am wanting to sell my Macbook Air, I have decided to get the MBA i7/8GB/256GB version. Does anyone know where to sell your MBA. I have a 2012 i5/4GB/128GB SSD MBA. Thanks.
eBay or Craigslist are the two most mentioned sites. For pricing, as a starting point, you can check Mac2Sell, eBay (including completed sales), or Amazon for prices of similar models, to get an idea of what you may be able to charge. Then adjust your price to account for condition, configuration, remaining AppleCare coverage (if any), etc.
How long have you had it? Apple has a pretty good return policy, especially if you have had it two weeks or less.
I've never sold a laptop but the first place i'd go to sell is eBay. Just make sure you include a lot of pictures of the item and include an accurate description of its condition, and you should be fine. BTW, good choice for the next mac (see my sig)
I would advise against eBay, the "Buyer Protection" they have makes selling expensive products a nightmare. Personally I've had more luck with Amazon

Are You Making These 4 Annoying Facebook Habits?
Do you have a fan page you're trying to grow?
How are things going for you?
If your answer is anything less than "Absolutely AMAZING!!!" then this post is for you.
"These bad habits could be annoying your fans & even damaging your brand"……says Ravi Shukle/PostPlanner
The 4 Annoying Facebook Habits Your Business Needs to Stop
1. Tagging too many people/pages
- Make sure when you tag somebody in a post, that the content relates to them & you're not just tagging lots of people or pages to boost your reach
- This applies to your Facebook profile & any fan pages you manage.
- It's important when building relationships online to consider the feelings of the person on the other end — and their privacy concerns.
- Tagging users in posts that have nothing to do with them is a great way to lose Facebook friends & destroy relationships you worked so hard to build.
2. Condescending for engagement
- There are right ways & wrong ways to get fans to respond.
- Instead of posting condescending rubbish, ask your fans relevant questions that spark interesting conversations.
- Test different updates on your page to determine what calls-to-action get the most response from fans.
3. Ignoring fans who post on your timeline
- If you're posting regularly & at the right times, engagement on your page should increase.
- Fans will leave comments, and people will Like & share your posts.
- Since fans are likely to comment on your page, use the "Posts by Others" feature to view what's being said on your Timeline — so you can respond.
- You'll see the drop-down menu underneath your app icons.
- Click the box & select "Posts by Others".
- All the updates left by other people will then be visible on your page.
- Check this daily so you don't keep fans waiting when they ask a question or need a quick reply
4. Posting ONLY about your company
- You have to create great content for your page, but you also don't want to be the business that only talks about itself.
- Share content from a variety of sources!
- These Facebook post ideas will help get you started:
- Share content from fans
- Share updates from online sources (breaking news, infographics, events)
- Share inspirational quotes & images (memes) from around the web
- Share updates from other pages
- Increasing sales should be your top priority, so driving traffic from Facebook to your company website is key.
- Generate that traffic by doing this:
- Creating blog posts & infographics for your website
- Making videos for your YouTube channel
- Writing blog posts with your opinion about different industry-related topics
- Creating blog posts & infographics that answer fans' questions & provide tips
- Writing blog posts about breaking news in your industry
- Making how-to infographics
Next time you work on your fan page, consider eliminating these annoying Facebook habits.
If you do, you will save time & maximize ROI for your content.
If you enjoyed this post and found TONS OF VALUE, please take a moment and share…..Thank You!
Sharing Is Caring!!

Ever wonder why geese fly in a "V" formation? As each goose flaps its wings, it creates a lift for the bird immediately behind it. By flying in a "V" formation, the flock adds over 70% greater flying range than a goose flying on its own.Meaning of Team
At Excelisys, we fly in a "V" formation. We utilize each other's strengths, talents, and abilities. We lift each other up with praise, with words of encouragement, and with an understanding of what it takes to be the best. In short, we fly with a common purpose. As a result, we are more efficient, happier geese–humans, who provide our clients with solutions that reflect our collective strengths, not just the rogue ideas of one stray goose.-Helen Keller"Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much."
Shared Leadership
When the lead goose gets tired it rotates back into the wing formation and another goose flies in the point position. At Excelisys, we are all capable leaders. We recognize those instances where one person may be better suited to serve as the point goose. Instead of fighting at the front of the formation, we enable the best–suited goose–person to take the lead.A Collective Desire to Be the Best
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. At Excelisys, we push each other to be the best on behalf of our clients. We understand the great things each individual on our team can accomplish, and we strive to sustain that greatness. Sometimes it takes a little honking.– Brice Cummings' Lacross Coach"There is no "I" in T-E-A-M"
Finally, when a goose gets sick or wounded and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly, and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation, to catch up with their group. At Excelisys, we stand by each other in the best and worst of times. Our loyalty to one another and to our clients is reflected in the solutions we create and the strong relationships we build.-Henry Ford"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."

But it is so peaceful in the village that you could just relax and enjoy the quiet and the countryside.

Location description from owner
The Andalucia region
Inland Andalucia, real Spain without the tourists. Sunny all year with little rain.
Very hot in the summer months around 30 - 40 degrees and warm evenings. March - May and Sept - November around 20 - 30 degrees with pleasant evening temperatures. December - February usually around 10 - 20 degrees. The evenings can be quite chilly but there is an open fire in the kitchen/dining room and heaters in the house.
Very close to the Subbetica National Park. Excellent location for visiting Corboba, Granada, Jaen and Sevilla.
Historical sights such as the fort at Alcala La Real are worth visiting together with the delightful towns of Priego de Cordoba and Iznajar- with its beautiful lake. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada is just over an hour away.
There are several fiestas in Martos, Las Casillas and Alcaudette. Martos has a Market on Saturday mornings and there is a market in Torredonjimeno on the way to Jaen on a Sunday morning. A large market in Moclin on the way to Granada is on the last Sunday of the month. Martos and Alcaudette have many bars, restaurants and shops and gardens to wander around. Martos has a theatre. Jaen has a large shopping Mall which is open all day (when the Spanish have their Siesta is a good time to visit!). Most local towns have forts, churches and historical sights to visit. It is an excellent area for walking, fishing, cycling, birdwatching and relaxing. It is real undiscovered Spain and not at all touristy. You will need your Spanish phrase book but the locals will love to try to talk to you and help you understand them.

"Experience Spanish village life in beautiful and peaceful surroundings"
We have actually stayed at Casa Karanna twice; in October and over Christmas / New Year. We loved it! Everything we needed was provided; even a Christmas tree and decorations (obviously for the Christmas stay). The house was spacious and the views over the lake from the upper terrace were just fantastic. The village of Las Casillas is very quiet; it does have 2 café/bars, a basic shop for essentials, bank and chemist. Paco's bar (on the square) serves great Tapas in the evenings. The locals are very friendly and you get a real experience of Spanish village life. If you want to do a larger shop, the nearest town is Martos. You have walks from the door. You can just wander through the olive groves, or if you fancy a longer hike, you can walk around the lake (about 15kms). Very enjoyable. If you want to explore further afield, we particularly enjoyed Zuheros. Córdoba and Priego de Córdoba. If you are looking for peace and quiet and somewhere to get away from it all, Casa Karanna in Las Casillas is ideal.
"A property surrounded by beautiful scenery in a quaint and tranquil location."
I stayed at this villa in September 2013 for a 10 day break with my partner and another couple. The villa is equipped with all you will need for a holiday, brilliant cooking facilities, plenty of option of bedrooms and bathrooms. The main bedroom which we stayed in has a lovely little balcony which We sat out on watching the sunrise in the morning over miles of Olive groves whilst eating breakfast. I would recommend hiring a car in order to travel around Andalusia and see the other beautiful towns such as Cordeba which is brilliant for shopping and quite close and Malaga being just under two hours away and the beach which is also about an hour or so away. I'd also recommend shopping at a supermarket on your way to the villa as there aren't any big stores nearby; however there is a little store for necessities and a man with a van selling fresh bread and fruit on a daily basis in the village. There's a lovely little bar which also serves food which from memory is called Paco's which I would recommend trying out to get a real feel for genuine Spanish livelihood. There is no swimming pool as such, but there is a paddling pool at the villa if you have little ones and also a lake in the village which is perfectly fine to swim in. I'd recommend this property to couples, families or group holidays and will definetly be returning in the near future.
"Idyllic Location, stunning and peaceful getaway"
This is a perfect, traditionally Spanish getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the near by lake with friendly locals. House very quiet and comfortable with lots of space and well equipped. Short drive to local outdoor pools was much needed enjoyed in the summer heart at Alcaudete and Martos. Great market on a saturday in Martos. Most recommend - trip to Guadix for cave homes. Amazing shopping in cordoba and beautiful palace in Alhambra.
"Beautiful Views"
Casa Karanna is a lovely place in a beautiful spot...off the beaten track. I really loved the views over the lake from the balcony - and I enjoyed the long walk round the lake as well! The villa is spacious and comfortable and the locals are friendly. I found it a great base for seeing the local area...there's a cycle route nearby which was fun to explore. Trips to Cordoba, Ubeda and Guadix in the surrounding region are definitely recommended.
"Comfortable stay"
Stayed at Casa Karanna a couple of times and always had a comfortable stay. Clean and roomy bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen and large dinning table. Log burning has been essential, as we've visited in November and February, where its really chilly during the evening. Which was fine as there was only two of use, but it would be have difficult to get a whole family in the lounge area with the log burner, as it really only seats two or three max. There is however, a 2nd lounge area, and i guess in summer, everyone would probably be outside anyway. Little touches like having bread, milk etc on arrival are great, as no urgency to get to a shop before making a cuppa. The view from the master bedroom is fantastic, and would highly recomend the walk round the lake, though as we were there in winter, we couldn't get all the way round as river was too high to cross.
"Real Spain"
Casa Karanna is a delightful little house in a mountain village . There are 4 bedrooms 3good/sized doubles and one small single. The kitchen facilities are clean and well equipped. The main bedroom has a rooftop balcony where you can sit and enjoy a meal or glass of wine with beautiful views of the nearby lake and mountains. Outside is a small courtyard which is a real sun trap, I advise hiring the paddling pool ( adult size) which is lovely to dip in to cool off. A spiral staircase takes you up to the balcony . The village is typically Spanish with two bars one of which offers meals lovely prawns. It is rustic and a taste of real Spain. There are two grocery / food shops in the village where you can purchase fresh fish ,bread, meat and other essentials. There is a bank and a pharmacy where English is spoken. A car is essential as the village is in the hills. An hour from Grenada where you can visit the beautiful Alhambra. Communication with the owner was good and all went smoothly. The villa was clean and ready on arrival. Sky tv up and running should you be an addict ! Currently no wifi but mobile phone signal was good 3 g works well. Because of steps in the house and the hilly position this would not be suitable for people with poor mobility .

Long Blasts Demos' Latest Ad
State Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long on Monday blasted a web ad from GOP House candidate George Demos aimed at Republican state Sen. Lee Zeldin yokes him and Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop and Obamacare.
The web ad released this morning claims Zeldin and Bishop backed Obamcare implementation through budget votes.
Long, in a statement released by the Zeldin campaign, calls this false, given that it was federal pass-through funding.
"Senator Lee Zeldin has never voted to fund Obamacare," Long said. "The bill that George Demos referenced, but obviously didn't read and understand, accounted for the federal funding that came to the state as a result of Governor Cuomo's executive order in April 2012 to unilaterally create the insurance exchange in New York. I find it laughable that the accompanying statement made sure to note that Demos has never voted for Obamacare. Of course, he hasn't voted. He's never been elected to a public position — there's a reason for that."
A previous TV ad had taken a similar route knocking Zeldin and Bishop for the budget vote.

X-Efficiency of Australian Permanent Building Societies, 1974-1990
This study examines X-efficiency of Australian Permanent Building Societies (PBSs) using the stochastic econometric frontier (SEF) approach and compares the results with those derived from an analysis of accounting ratios. It finds: (i) average X-inefficiency relative to the stochastic cost frontier of 25 per cent both pre- and post-deregulation of the Australian financial system; (ii) when the expense to total assets ratio is averaged over seven to ten years it produces very similar efficiency rankings to the SEF approach; (iii) PBSs in NSW and Western Australia are more efficient than those in other States; and (iv) Cost function dynamics has little effect on PBS X-efficiency.

I can't believe that I'm getting sucked in the whole bachelor again...
What's the Great Conjunction? You tell me!
I just saw the preview where one of the blonde girls points to her boobs and says "I have a secret weapon". That's right up there with "my eggs are rotting".
Thanks, bugsme3! I remember you from last season. Are you as excited as I am? I'm still catching up on all the posts I've missed since I've been out of town--so many! My avatar is Hashimoto mouse, a cartoon character from the '60s...which probably reveals a bit much about my age, but there you have it. I was feeling nostalgic, so I hunted him down on the web.
I've been trying really hard to stay away from all the speculation so as not to be tainted by who these delightful women really are, because I'm sure they're all classy, intelligent women who are solely interested in our Prince because he has a kind heart. *falls down laughing* Okay, sorry, I was trying so hard, too.
But I have to say the occupation listed as 'socialite' caught my attention, too. I can't wait until Monday. Bring it on Fleiss, we are all more than ready to be entertained.
Rosekid, you had me going... laughing that is!! I think we are going to get more than our share of "memorable" moments of snarking good times!!
I think your recaps will be funny ... you'll definitely get to have fun with a socialite who "had to fly coach" complete with a tiara!! I'm heading to McDonalds for mine!!
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me!"

The official what's happening about the spammers thread. MNHQ will only post on this one for the time being (sorry, not being hoity; it's just to save time)
(331 Posts)Afternoon.
We are currently mopping up after close on 100 (and that's just the last count) spammers posted all over our boards last night and this morning.
Thank you for all your reports. We hope you'll understand that we're not going to reply to them. Please take it as read that we're really grateful.
IMPORTANT: we think we have tabs on pretty much all of the spammers now, so (even if we haven't deleted them all yet) so there is no need to report any more. In fact, any more reports and our system might keel over!
Once we can see the wood for the trees, we'll post again and ask you to report any remaining spam posts we might have missed.
Please bear with us. We are getting there.
Any Qs, do post em here and we'll do our best to answer you.
They're in baby names advertising a "live event" streaming which has already finished. Ignorant twazzocks.
They're bbbbbaaaaacccckkkk!!!!
I was just coming on here to say that star girl. They are pretty incessant.
MNHQ are going to need a crate of gin after tonight
You need a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" type delete button which regular posters get access to when there's a site invasion
All over? For tonight anyway...
for HQ,
Can't help thinking that HQ might need something more like this after tonight!
Thank you MNHQ.
You did good tonight.
darn. missed it
Well done HQ. I'm so glad they didn't bring the website down overnight!
check out the wtaf post where they reveal their intentions to bring down mn ... who are they?

Hello, hello - calling Tech and MN HQ - we need you!
apologies mnhq... i have been reporting threads and posts tonight... along with many others im sure. i didnt know about this thread.
they've posted all over tonight. here's some for when you finish the clean up. i dont envy you... though i would have great satisfaction using the delete button
Ooops - forgot this was here and have reported some of the more idiotic stuff.
right. we need captchas
we also a need a maximum number of new posts per poster.
we also really need an ignore poster button.
and maybe you guys might also want to delegate the delete button to some of us international mumsneters who are still awake now.
Chats full of em
I think MNHQ need to decide whether we're 'open' at night or not.
If we're not 'open', they could suspend account creation overnight, limit the number of posts new posters make etc. This would not be great for anyone in desperate need of support who stumbles across MN in the dark hours and it wouldn't be great for international participation.
If we are 'open', they need to staff the place a bit overnight. I think it would be worth the investment.
That wouldn't have helped last night. I history checked a few if them and they'd already registered a few days ago. HQ did a good job last night, but it is a little disappointing when they keep telling us things are in place, then they all bugger off at 2 am and give the trolls free reign.
and for mumsnet staff.
Thank you MNHQ.
You did good tonight.
Thank you. Appreciated.

Chris Brown Victim of Home Invasion-Aunt Forced in Closet
Chris Brown's aunt was forced into a closet after discovering masked intruders in her nephew's home. Brown was not at home during the 2 a.m. home invasion. His aunt was upstairs alone when she heard noises. She went downstairs to investigate and discovered three men with faces covered by bandanas. One man was carrying a gun.
The intruders forced her into a closet and locked her in before ransacking the house. The men took cash, some electronics and a few other items. Luckily they did not harm Brown's aunt.
The bad boy hip hop artist has been criticized for hanging out with gang members and throwing up gang signs. He has also had his own trouble with the law, first for his assault on Rihanna and later for testing positive for cannabis while on probation. He had very public meltdown after being asked about the domestic violence charges on Good Morning America. He reportedly tried to smash a window with a chair before running out onto Broadway shirtless. He has also been arrested for assault after getting into a fight during a basketball game.
Brown's mother, Joyce Hawkins has had somewhat of a troubled relationship with her son. She is not happy about his choice of friends believing them to be hangers-on who don't have the best influence on her son. Some reports have her claiming this as an inside job by some of his friends which would make sense considering they didn't hurt his aunt when confronted.
This is not the first break-in at one of Brown's homes. He had a female fan break into his home this past May hoping to satisfy her crush on the singer. This break-in was very different and could have had deadly consequences. The Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating the break-in.
Is Chris Browns' mother right? Could it be the element he has been hanging out with? Since the assault chargers against him he has shown a darker side than when he first became famous and was loved as the adorable love of Rihanna. Since then he's had probation troubles, new assault charges, love triangles, and even the birth of a daughter with his friend causing a more permanent break with Karreuche Tran.
Is he heading down a bad path? Was this an inside job pulled by those in his circle? Tell us what you think here at Haveuheard.

"Each person's life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life … everything that shows up in your mandala is a vehicle for your awakening." ~ Pema Chodron
Do you want to learn a new creative/spiritual practice? Are you curious about how mandala journaling can be used as a tool for mindfulness, personal awakening, and a deeper understanding of your subconscious mind? You've come to the right place to feed that curiosity.
I want to invite you on a unique, 30 day journey that's unlike any journey you've taken before. It's a journey to yourself.
NEW: You can now sign up for Mandala Discovery any time you want and start receiving the daily prompts immediately.
If you want to learn more about yourself, find a way through a stuck place, seek clarity about something new that's growing, or simply try a new creative practice that offers new insights and opportunity for mindfulness, mandala journaling may be for you. You'll get thirty daily prompts, and each day you'll work through themes like play, trust, shadow, chaos, and balance.
My name is Heather Plett and I want to help you develop your own unique mandala journaling process.
What is a mandala and why make them?
"Mandala" is the ancient sanskrit word for circle and it symbolizes wholeness. It's pretty simple, really – anything that shows up in circular form – whether it's art, dance, or a slice of kiwi fruit – can be considered a mandala. I love the fact that they are so universal and can be found everywhere. In every part of the world, mandalas show up in the art work, nature, and cultural and spiritual history of a place.
Mandalas have been used in various spiritual traditions (especially eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism) for spiritual teaching and meditative purposes. They have also been used for therapeutic purposes by psychoanalysts, most notably Carl Jung, who considered them the "archetype of wholeness". In the Christian tradition, mandalas have been used by such notable mystics as Hildegard von Bingen.
Mandalas combine spirituality, meditation, therapy, creative process, and play in one holistic circle. They help us slow our minds, process our complex thoughts, and shift out of our logical left-brains into our intuitive right brains.
They also have a strong feminine aspect to them, with connections to the womb and the birthing process, as well as to nature and Mother Earth. They ground and centre us and bring us back to the heart of who we are.
What do I bring to mandala-making?
First and foremost, I bring my curiosity to mandala-making. I also bring years and years of practice and deep learning.
Anyone can learn to make mandalas – just start playing with colour, lines, words, and images inside a circle and see what emerges. But if you want to take that into deeper self-discovery, I can help you.
I have developed a unique process that combines mandala-making with intuitive journalling. This process has been gradually emerging for me over many years of journal writing, creative process, poetry writing, and art-making. I use the process when I teach creativity, writing and personal development workshops. My first mandala poem was published in a poetry journal twenty five years ago and I've been exploring it as a tool for my personal development ever since.
Unlike some of the more traditional mandalas that rely on specific symbols, follow certain rules and are closely associated with specific religious or cultural traditions, my mandala process is intuitive and unique to each person who does it with me. I give you guidelines and support, but I never give you rules.
To learn more about why I make mandalas and what I get out of them, read this post. To learn more about me, visit my website. To see what a mandala prompt might look like, see this sample prompt, or visit this post or this post.
Who could benefit from this mandala journaling process?
- anyone seeking clarity in their life
- anyone birthing new ideas into the world
- anyone trying to find simplicity in the midst of complexity
- anyone seeking a contemplative spiritual practice that will enrich their life
- coaches looking for creative processes to add to their toolboxes
- teachers and leaders who want to invite creativity and fresh energy into their classrooms or communities
Since Mandala Discovery was first launched in September 2013, close to 1000 people have made their way through the 30 days of prompts. Beautiful stories have emerged about not only their own transformation, but also the way that their mandala practice is touching people around them. Participants have said that, in addition to their personal self-discovery work, mandala journaling prompts are being been used:
- as an exercise in a second grade classroom,
- in women's gatherings,
- in staff workshops,
- as homeschooling activities,
- in grief coaching sessions, and
- in a drug and alcohol recovery program
Each exercise is simple enough for a seven-year-old to complete, and yet complex enough for the deepest of personal journeys.
What does mandala journaling offer that you can't get from traditional journaling?
Journaling is a valuable practice no matter how you do it. But… sometimes when we simply write in straight lines across a page we get stuck in left brain thinking that wants to find logic and order in everything. Words, on their own, are a function of the left brain. Mandala journaling, by incorporating circles, spirals, colours, images, and shapes along with the words, invites us into a deeper place that accesses both right and left brain thinking. We access a deeper creative source that goes beyond logic and order and into mystery, creativity, and intuition.
"While painting them (mandalas), the picture seems to develop out of itself and often in opposition to one's conscious intentions." – C.G. Jung
"Most mandalas have an intuitive, irrational character and, through their symbolical content, exert a retroactive influence on the unconscious. They therefore possess a 'magical' significance, like icons, whose possible efficacy was never consciously felt by the patient." – C.G. Jung
You can now sign up for Mandala Discovery any time you want. You'll receive an introductory email right away and then the daily lessons will start arriving shortly after that.
(Note: prices have recently been adjusted from $US to $CAD, which means they look higher but are actually lower.)
1. Mandala Discovery: Thirty Days of Mandala Journaling – $55 CAD

– Daily emails for 30 days. Each will contain a short inspirational article on a particular theme and a step-by-step lesson on how to do a unique mandala journaling process related to that theme.

Let's face it … Homemade Refried Beans are homely, brownish, mounds of smashed beans. I'm not sure anybody can make them photogenic. I tried by putting the beans in a colorful bowl and covering them with shredded cheese. You can still see them and they're still smashed beans. But don't let their drab appearance scare you away. If you like refried beans, these are so much better than the ones you can buy in the can, that look like puppy chow. All kidding aside (maybe) pinto beans are a versatile side, a great meat substitute and are very low in saturated fat. Pinto Beans are also good source of protein and a very good source of dietary fiber … so you have been forewarned, just saying.
Do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo (May 5th)? The true holiday has nothing to do with food but commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. The American version of the holiday has turned into a food fest for those of us that love a good guacamole, Margaritas and salsa. I don't see anything wrong with celebrating food, and most cultures have plenty of food centric holidays. It's an honorable holiday celebrating an unlikely victor … and in a weird way these beans are also the underdog. Chicken, beef and steak always get center stage but I say let the beans shine today! I love refried beans, especially on a tostada so that's what we have for you today.
Beans are inexpensive and easy to make. They're filling and healthy and can be used in dips, burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas and anything else you can dream up. Personally I like their creamy texture against a crispy shell and I love the way they hold onto the toppings and don't slide off the tostada! In our version, these simple beans are served with lettuce, avocado, queso fresco cheese and my favorite Sweet Corn Salsa. I also made a simple sauce of mayonnaise and Cholula hot sauce for drizzling.
Give it all a big squeeze of lime juice and you're done! Perfect for a meatless Monday meal, a Cinco De Mayo celebration or an easy weeknight dinner.
- 8 ounces Pinto Beans
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ large white onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 4 cups water
- Sort the beans and discard debris.
- Rinse the beans and drain. Place the beans in a large pot and cover with cold water by a few inches. Cover and set aside to soak overnight.
- Drain the beans and put back into the pot with 4 cups of clean, fresh water. Add the garlic and heat over medium until the beans come to a boil. Cook the beans maintaining a simmer for 1 - 1½ hours or until the beans are tender. Add additional water if needed during cooking.
- Drain, reserving ½ cup of the liquid. Mash the beans, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the mashed beans to the onion and cook until the bean liquid is absorbed. Salt and Pepper the beans to taste and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, adding a little reserved cooking liquid if needed.
Feel free to add other seasonings to taste - cayenne, cumin, chili powder, etc.
Many traditional refried bean recipes call for bacon or lard to be used in place of the oil. We try not to eat cured meats so we created this version as a healthier alternative. Olive oil is not the authentic choice in traditional Mexican cooking.
Don't forget the Sweet Corn Salsa!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Interview: | AUTUMN |
Title: | Wealth of variants |
At the first superficial listening experience this Dutch Gothic Metal representatives may sound actually like many of their genre colleagues. Therefore not exciting an straight attention.
But with each minute of more intensive allowance to its new album "Summer´s End" deepen contrary impressions with increasing intensity. Too authentically seems their atmospheric musical dramas with in parts strongest instrumenting, which Autumn offers now.
The sextet out of the Netherlands make a relative little attention around its creations, which are filled by longings and demands. Likewise singer Nienke de Jong and anger-growler Meindert Sterk acting. Drummer Jan Grijpstra reports me.
Jan, where in the Netherlands are you guys located and which are your hobbies besides the music?
"We are not from one city in Holland but spread all over the country. Originally we come from the Northern part of the Netherlands, nearby the city Leeuwarden. From the time on the band started, almost ten years ago, up till now some of us moved to other places or new members joined who lived elsewhere. We all have different hobbies. Some of the hobbies we actually use for the band. For example, our bass player, Meindert, makes paintings. We use these paintings as artwork for our albums. Menno, our keyboard player, has build our website and makes e-cards for the band."
Through which problems did you had to go after the release of the previous album?
"During the last year we had a lot to deal with. We changed to another record label (The Electric Co.), which has been a really good thing for us, but it also takes a lot of time and energy to get everything up and running again."
What´s mainly new to know from the Autumn band camp?
"In February we will release a single, supported by a video clip, in Germany. In the same month we will do a tour in Germany as the support act of Within Temptation. The dates of this tour can be seen on www.autumn.nu"
How are you feeling these days and which expectations do you have in mind, regarding the new album release?
"The album is out now for almost 4 months and in the Netherlands the sales are going quite well. The album is also released in Belgium and in both countries we have done some gigs already. In February the album will be released in Germany and we hope the people will like it over there as well."
Please report the readers the most important facts around the new tracks! Which lyrical contents do they own?
"Two of the songs, "The Coven" and "Gospels In Dusk" are part of a trilogy. The first part is on the first album, "When Lust Evokes The Curse" and is called "The Witch In Me". It deals about rituals in becoming a witch. Like on the first album the lyrics are mostly about how nature is important for human life and the involvement and fascination of man with nature, and about old legends and how they are still applicable to modern day life. I think we managed to make an album that is very diverse. This is because we all could pour our own styles and musical baggage into it."
Which are the most musical differences now to the first Autumn album?
"I think they are more to the point. We have a different way of writing songs now, with the first album we had quite a few years to finish the songs, but for this album we wrote most songs in just a few months. This faster way of writing resulted in songs with a clear structure and a more powerful sound."
How do you judge "Summer´s End" in general?
"I am very satisfied. I like the sound of the album, it's produced very well. The songs themselves, the structure, riffs, melodies and lyrics are great. But it would be a bit strange if I did not liked them, don't you think?"
What does have the title of the current release to mean?
"It means Samhain or Halloween. It marks the beginning of Autumn. It is also an important day in witchcraft. For me it has no special meaning, though I like this part of the year."
Which impressions do you felt during the process of composition for the new album?
"To finally start making new songs. We did a lot of touring during the almost 2 years between both albums, and because we all have day jobs we had to do all these things during the weekends. This means that when we performed we could not compose. So we stopped performing for a few months to write new songs."
Influences, musical and lyrical?
"For me the biggest influence is Faith No More. I do not write lyrics, Meindert and Menno wrote most lyrics and Nienke and Jens also wrote lyrics for a song."
Who did the frontcover artwork for "Summer´s End"?
"We use paintings of Meindert for our covers."
Your own opinion about it?
"I think they are great!"
Which bands do you like to listen at home?
"To name a few: Faith no More, Opeth, After Forever, Rammstein. I like a lot of music, also a lot of non-Metal bands. Within the band we also have a lot of different influences, which is great. You can use this during the creation of new material."
Your personal view about the "modern-day" Metal scene?
"I think it is very good lately. There are a lot of concerts every week and a lot of styles to choose from. This means the scene is doing well at the moment."
Some plans for the future?
"First we will do the German tour and hopefully we will play on some festivals in the summer. After that we will see what happens."

Charges against six parishioners accused of assaulting police officers last summer in a melee at a Pentecostal church in Queens were dropped yesterday at the request of the District Attorney's office.
The police had gone to the Universal Calvary Church in South Jamaica on Aug. 20 after a retired officer complained that he had been attacked and his gun had been stolen when he tried to enter the church's revival tent to see his estranged wife and children.
The former officer, Clifford Warsop, has since been charged with disrupting a religious service and menacing, misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, said Mary DeBourbon, a spokeswoman for the Queens District Attorney's office. A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 29.
Three churchgoers had been accused of stealing Mr. Warsop's gun, but that charge was dropped within a few days. Assault charges against them and three other parishioners were dropped yesterday by Judge James Griffin in Queens Criminal Court.

Excellent post, thank you for writing it! I take laminaria kelp (Solaray brand), as I love seaweed and craved it after giving birth; now after reading your post, it seems like my body knew what it needed. I also take high potency tumeric, and try to eat a super alkaline diet, although I do eat fish/poultry/occasionally red meat, and since I am still breastfeeding, I get really hungry and eat some of the normal junkfood too. Really enjoying your blog and giving me inspiration in the cold, dark London winter. Keep it up :)

Hi, Judita -
I've been using Lugl's Iodine drops - I put 2 drops on my wrists and rub my forearms together. After a few weeks, there is a burning sensation and I've had to put the drops on another place on my forearms until the other area heals.
Do you ingest Nascent Iodine?
Can't wait to check out your recipes :)

Hi Laurie, yes I ingest the Nascent Iodine. A few drops in water (never direct on the tongue!). :)

Hi Judita,

I have used Lugols, 14mg per day (the Japanese load. We can safely take more.) for several years. I started with nascent iodine ordered online, but could not find it locally, so I switched to Lugols. It definitely does positively influence cognition, as well as energy levels. It is the most valuable supplement I use.

How i got a cure for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
I actually promised myself that i will do this because i never in life thought i would be cured of PCOS because my gynecologist told me there was no cure and because of this i could not take in and get pregnant. I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) for 7 years and this was a big pain to me and my husband due to the downcast we felt for not having a child. I experienced irregular periods or no periods at all sometimes, heavy periods, i gained weight (fat). I seeked a cure from one doctor to the other used androgen, clomiphene, metformin and even traveled to different states to see other doctors to no avail. My husband got to know about Dr. ALeta via a testimony he read on the internet on how a woman got a cure and he contacted her with the contact she left. I got the herbal medication and used it for the speculated 3 months that was all i have a son who is just 8 months old. Do not give up just contact her on (email@example.com) on how to get the herbal medication. Thanks and i wish you get cured soon too.
