Seven Steps to Surviving a Lousy Roommate
You went off to college with great expectations yet now the excitement is definitely waning.
Perhaps you were barely ten days into the school year when the pile of dirty clothes began resembling the dormitory equivalent of Mt. Olympus? Another ten days later, not only did you note an odor beginning to emerge from the pile but you soon noticed other not so rich smells?
That each time your roomie entered the room you recalled the smell you generally associate with a large dumpster? Was it at that point that you realized he seemed completely unaware of where the shower was located?
Or was the issue less stomach-churning yet equally troubling. The constant stream of visitors or the CD player burning incredibly hot as it unceasingly blared rap music that would even cause Eminem to want to find some quiet time?
Perhaps it was even less insidious but just as onerous; as in the loudest snoring you have ever witnessed? That last snort always sounding as if your roomie might actually be drawing his very last breath.
Did your first call home to express your outrageous horror only result in Dad being, well…, Dad? The usual minimizing of the negatives and the suggestion that this could be a good thing, that it will help you get out of the room more and develop other friendships? Not to mention help you develop greater resiliency and even teach you to take a look at your own actions?
Surviving the Roommate from Hell
Rooming with another person is a great challenge, especially when two people have very different tastes and personal practices. Living in a very small space such as a dorm room involves compromise from both parties.
While it is easy to place heaps of blame on the person in the other bed, it could well be that you might just be getting on your roommate's nerves just as much as he or she is getting on your's. Still, just what is a person to do when, well, they seem to have been assigned the roommate from hell?
Dealing with Serious Concerns
DO: If you have concerns, it is imperative that you begin by discussing the specific issues directly with your roommate. In doing so, you must confront each issue head on but you also must do everything in your power to remove all emotion from the discussion. Politely note what you are witnessing, and why this is an issue for you. As you do so, to keep the emotions down, be sure to focus on the behavior and not the person. It is imperative that you not be seen as rendering personal judgment. Therefore, it is very helpful to begin the process by noting that you will let him or her express any possible concerns they might have with your actions!
DON'T: Whatever you do, don't wimp out and leave a note. They never work and most times, they usually backfire. Also remember that bringing in outsiders generally only adds fuel to minor issues, especially if it begins with you making sarcastic comments that somehow manage to get back to your roomie. So don't bring in the Resident Assistant before you have at least made a minimal level of effort to confront this particular issue yourself first.
Dealing with the Odor Queen or King
DO: This is a legitimate issue that falls under the first step noted above. You must confront your roomie with the specific issue. Most importantly, to help them make progress you must be ready to offer concrete suggestions and even some much-needed help. If the issue is a monstrous pile of smelly clothes, it just might mean that you will need to explain the concept of a laundry bag. Maybe even offer to have him or her accompany you on your next excursion to the laundry area. If it is about BO, it may be helpful to offer access to specific body products like shampoo and deodorant, perhaps even purchasing a few extra items and make them available.
DON'T: Whatever you do, don't belittle him or her in the process. If you make your roommate feel too small, your words will fall on deaf ears. They will be angry and see you as simply being hypercritical. The magic words most definitely include, "I am telling you this for your own good – as your roommate I feel I must make you aware of this issue so that it does not interfere with your ability to make friends. I just know that if you knew this was a problem you would want to take care of the issue."
Dealing with the Aspiring MTV DJ
DO: Again, take this issue into your own hands. The bottom line is your room must provide you with a place to sleep and to store your personal items. Be sure to create a schedule with your roommate's input that preserves these basic elements. That said, in an effort to fight battles worth fighting, it must be noted that your dorm room does not necessarily need to be your place to study. If your roomie insists on music blaring and you need solitude to work your academic magic, you must find a quiet place on-campus to study and do your related work.
DON'T: While it is easy to give in on the study time schedule, don't let the issue interfere with your sleep needs. While you can let him or her blare that rap music afternoon and early evening, there comes a point when it must be turned off so that you can sleep. As part of the negotiations process, let your roomie know you will allow him to get his music fix as much as you can reasonably manage but come 9:00 P.M. (9:30 or 10:00, whatever makes sense for you) you need the room to be quiet.
Dealing with the 24/7 Hostess
DO: As with the DJ, this is an issue that can be minimized to a certain extent. It begins with a discussion of a reasonable schedule, when it is appropriate for visitors to stop by. It then also involves requesting the common courtesy of knowing when someone is stopping over. That way you can plan accordingly and make your way to your study sanctuary if need be.
DON'T: Whatever you do, don't waver in your expectations regarding having a quiet room for those moments you want it quiet. That means no visitors after a specific time. And don't be afraid to declare specific items off base, as in no visitors plopping down on your bed or somehow managing to paw through your personal items. Offer your desk chair as one place to sit but otherwise you would expect visitors to be parked on your roomie's bed, in their desk chair or seated on the floor.
Dealing with Rip-Snorting Snorer
DO:This actually may be the toughest to deal with – such issues represent breathing problems often brought on by weight or other physical ailments. It could be that your roomie is not aware that his nighttime breathing is so contorted it is causing the blinds to rustle. Noting this behavior just might be the impetus to his getting the issue examined. After all, he may not even be aware of what is taking place. A set of earplugs could be helpful if your roommate is not ferociously loud. But of course with such items in your ears it might prove tough to hear that alarm clock come morning.
DON'T: Don't ignore this issue if it is keeping you awake at night. To be productive, you must get your sleep on a regular basis. Again, this can be one of the most challenging of issues to actually solve and could well be the one where you quickly enlist the help of the RA or HR.
Dealing with Candidates for the University of San Quentin
DO: When in high school, we develop a sort of notion that we must not rat out the behavior of classmates. But when it comes to such behavior occurring in your dorm room, it is imperative that you challenge illegal activity and emphatically insist you will not tolerate it in your room. If it involves drugs or other related behaviors that can result in a criminal record, it cannot be ignored. In too many instances, the failure to confront this problem results in you being painted with the same brush that your roommate is painted with. That may not be too disconcerting with certain peer groups but it certainly is when the persons addressing the issue represent law enforcement.
DON'T: Don't waiver – once you are witness to such behavior, give your warning that you will not tolerate illegal activities in your room, that if they occur again you will report them to the Resident Assistant and/or Head Resident. Then if he or she calls your bluff, you must act.
Moving Out
Of course, one method for dealing with the roommate from hell is to move out. This of course requires an option that may or may not be available, another place to move to. But when it comes to making the decision that you simply cannot get along with the person you have been assigned, you must understand the room is half his or hers. So if there is to be a separation and that separation is your choice, then you will be the one moving.
To be able to make such a request to your RA or HR, you must be able to communicate why your moving out is the needed solution. Their willingness to help you find new digs (if there are any available) will be predicated on your being able to explain the steps you have taken to try to make things work. If after discussing schedules and talking about basic personal needs, you still are not managing, then you might have some ammunition to request a change.
Just remember, the grass always tends to look a whole lot greener on your neighbor's lawn. Be sure that roommate you are struggling with is beyond making it work – because, ultimately, you may not have really seen anything yet, you may be simply switching one set of issues for another.
Because, Hell is a truly relevant term.

As a Methodist local preacher for some 30 years or so, Judy Ford often tells her congregation: "I see my role as asking questions and leaving you to think out your own answers."
In her series of Bernie Fazakerley novels, despite having to solve a crime or two, she still aims "to encourage thoughtful consideration of questions for which there are no easy answers".
The first of the series, Changing Scenes of Life, which Judy describes as "a story of hope and intrigue", introduces readers to Jonah Porter, a Detective Chief Inspector invalided following an attack by an unknown assailant. The story follows his attempts to be reinstated as a serving officer. Along the way we learn about people who have been important in his life, among them Bernie Fazakerley, an eccentric Oxford don.
It is quickly apparent that the words of hymns have great significance for Jonah. As well as taking the novel's title from the hymn Through all the changing scenes of life (StF 638), each account of his friends and family suggests the words of another hymn.
Judy points out, for example, the story of Wayne and Dean, two engineers whose development of a state of the art wheelchair will eventually help Jonah back into work. In Judy's account of these two young men, she explores attitudes to same-sex relationships and draws upon Frederick William Faber's hymn There's a wideness in God's mercy (StF 416), with its assertion that "the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind".
Changing Scenes of Life is the most overtly Christian of the Bernie Fazakerley books, Judy says, and she admits that its audience "is likely to be restricted to those with some sympathy for Christian values". However, throughout the series, Judy is attempting to offer a counter to "a lot of contemporary fiction that tends to avoid questions of faith so as not to offend readers in a post-Christian era. The writers forget that there might be another point of view."
In the later books of the series, Judy is trying to widen her audience, but her main characters do still act out of a faith commitment that influences their behaviour – though "not in goody goody way!"
Judy has been creating fictional worlds in her own mind for much of her life, but it wasn't until her family was grown and her career as an academic and NHS research manager shifted gear that she finally found the space, in 2014, to get down to the serious task of writing on a regular basis.
She combines her writing and university lecturing with an active role both as the Parochial Church Council secretary in the small village where she lives and also amongst the Methodist communities around her home in the north west of England. She moved to "the land of the Scousers" when she married and it is they who have inspired her central character.
But it seems right to suggest that the fundamental positivity that shines through as Judy talks, as well as through many of her key characters, is rooted in something else altogether. As DCI Jonah Porter observes of the hymn In heavenly love abiding (StF 736), here are positive words urging confidence in the face of difficult times:
the storm may roar without me,
my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?
It's a question for Jonah and his friends. And it's a question for Judy's readers to ponder on too.

Shot in Northern Iraq in 2010, David Fine's Salaam Dunk follows the women's basketball team from the American University of Iraq- Sulaimani (AUIS) through their second season. A title card—these pop up with annoying frequency in the beginning, but soon thin out—informs us that the team lost every game its first year, but "this season will be different." But this is no triumphal sport doc about an underdog team coming from behind to sweep a title. In fact, though we hear a lot about how much several of the players love the sport and how much they're all improving (none had ever played organized sports of any kind before they joined the team, and some turned up for the first practice in high heels), none of them look very good. As even their sweetly supportive American coach, Ryan, puts it, "This is not U Conn."
Instead, the never-seen filmmakers tag along to each of the team's five sparsely attended games, interspersing footage of the bus rides there and back and the games themselves with video-diary excerpts from some of the girls, interviews with their coach and some of their relatives, and an apparently random smattering of man-on-the-street interviews about the notion of women playing sports (about half are in favor and half are opposed). On its deceptively casual surface, Salaam Dunk is a genial high-five to team sport as a route to girl power and a sense of community. But it's also a respectful and sometimes quite moving tribute to the resilience of a handful of young women who have, as Ryan puts it, "been through more in the last three years than any of us who came here to work with them from the West will be through in a lifetime."
The five or six team members we learn most about seem a lot like their U.S. counterparts but younger, their lack of seen-it-all ironic detachment making them look more like high school than college students to an American eye. That relative openness makes it easy to empathize as they confide their feelings or recount their experience in the video-diary excerpts, dance to their favorite pop song after a rare win, or lean on each other's shoulders on the bus ride home from a game.
Their relationship with Ryan ("He's like a big brother," says team captain Laylan) is also developed nicely, building up to an affecting group hug after the team's last game together. Even sadder than the tears nearly everyone sheds, including Ryan, is the look on Laylan's face as she stands off to the side, hugging herself forlornly. By then, we've heard her talk about some terrible things she's experienced since the U.S. invasion, and we know she reacts to her losses by refusing to cry. We've also heard her say how much she dreads losing her beloved coach, who's about to head back to the States to finish graduate school. But the tension in her face and the stiffness with which she rebuffs Ryan's attempt at a hug say more than all those words put together about the grief this 20-year-old is holding in and the effort it takes to contain it.

London, November 10: England's all-time leading wicket taker James Anderson has been named vice-captain for his team's Ashes tour in Australia.
Fast bowler Anderson replaces Ben Stokes as Joe Root's deputy ahead of the first Test, which begins in Brisbane on November 23.
Along with the likes of former skipper Alastair Cook and Stuart Broad, the 35-year-old, who has taken 506 Test wickets, provides England with much-needed experience.
England confirmed the appointment of Anderson on Friday.
Anderson has enjoyed a decent start in Australia, taking four wickets in England's tour opener against a Western Australia XI last week.
Stokes was named in England's touring party for the five-match series but is yet to arrive in Australia as he continues to be the subject of an active police investigation.
The all-rounder was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after an incident in Bristol in September. Stokes was released under investigation without charge, but has since been suspended by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) until the police conclude their case.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." Victor Frankl
This might be the year to start the journey of healing and growth toward an authentic, joyfilled life.
Thank you for your interest in Legacy Family Therapy. As a marriage and family therapist I look forward to helping you start on the journey of exploration of your life, your family and relationships, and your community.
Michael White: "The person is not the problem", the problem is creating challenges in the person's life.
Be Encouraged
Investigating therapy implies you are looking for ideas to create and develop new ways of living your life, or interacting in relationships. This can be difficult and can leave you feeling vulnerable. In the midst of struggles and challenges - sorrow, grief, pain, disappointment, worry and fear - it is easy to lose sight of desires, values, and even yourself. Though you may feel overwhelmed and stuck, the steps you are taking right now are the beginning of a new journey toward preferred ways of living.
Your Story Matters
By investigating and reflecting upon your life experiences, therapy promotes discovery and nurtures transformation and growth. It can reignite hidden/forgotten parts of yourself. As a narrative therapist, I am dedicated to this transformation. I want to hear, honor, and explore your story; the challenges, struggles, and growth and successes with you - how you arrived where you are and the direction you prefer as you move forward.
It is a pleasure to serve you. If you have questions do not hesitate to call:

I'm reviewing this workout after doing it in its entirety twice.
General workout breakdown: As with all 10 Minute Solution videos, this DVD contains 5 separate 10-min. sections, each with their own focus.
- Arm & Shoulder Sculpt begins with a quick warm-up of reaching up, sweeping to side, shoulder rolls, and quick shoulder stretch. Exercises include scapular press, bent over row, biceps & deadlift-like move, shoulder roll & triceps kickback, and triceps push-up. You end with triceps and shoulder stretches.
- Butt & Thigh Blaster begins with a warm-up of squat, lunge, kick front, squat walk, and side lunge with arm reach. Exercises include skater squat, standing leg lift to side & back, pendulum, donkey kicks, child's pose, v-sit with x-wrap while moving legs out & in, side-lying single leg lift, and bridge w/ heels up & then knees in & out. You end with knees to chest, hurdler's stretch, butterfly, and seated forward bend w/ legs in front.
- Total Tone Body Zone begins with a warm-up of side bends, punches, rolling through back, side to side lunges, and static hamstring stretches. Exercises include lunge w/ front shoulder raise + kick w/ reverse pull, side squat w/ overhead press, triceps press back into squat up, v squat forward & back (the squat walk from Butt & Thigh Blaster's warm-up), chest press forward w/ side leg lift & squat, biceps curl & overhead triceps extension, bicycle in v-sit, and lift & lower in boat. You end with seated crossed leg forward bend, reverse plank, and upper back stretch.
- Sleek & Sexy Abs begins with lifting up and down, twisting, each shoulder to knee, back roll, chop, and back stretch. Exercises begin standing with overhead press & side twist and side bend w/ pull down into side bend w/ side leg lift; you then move to the floor for crunch with legs in table, reverse crunch with legs straight overhead, bicycle, lower & lift on back (the Pilates double straight leg stretch) into kick outs while seated, and superman. You end with child's pose and side bends.
- 10 Minute Stretch includes arm raises, shoulder rolls, side bend w/ rotation, hamstring stretch, triceps stretch w/ side bend, reclining leg stretches, and butterfly with forward bend.
Amy does several sets right in a row, often switching between tempos or single vs. double limbs, where appropriate, or two different exercises. (In other words, you might do 4 at a slow tempo, then 6 at a fast tempo; do 4 at a slow tempo, then alternate between limbs for 8 fast; or do 2, then do 2 of another exercise). Amy chooses to do more reps of fewer exercises rather than fewer reps of more exercises, unlike on some of the other 10 Minute Solutions.
Level: I'd recommend this to exercisers with some experience in strength training. This is probably best suited for those working out at the low to mid-intermediate level, although the use of a band with a little less resistance would make this approachable for beginner / intermediates while a band of more resistance would bump this up to high intermediate.
Class: Amy alone, who instructs live.
Music: instrumental with a beat. It's nice but nothing special.
Set: bright interior space with wood floor and exercise equipment and other accessories along back wall.
Production: super crisp picture, clear sound. The instructor's voice is louder than the music. The camera angles are helpful rather than distracting.
Equipment: a 6' resistance band (one comes with new DVDs; you'll want to choose one of an appropriate resistance for your level) and probably also a mat (or equivalent).
Space Requirements: enough room to move your arms and legs around while standing and lying down and to take a step to each side.
DVD Notes: Amy's introduction can be skipped. As with all of the 10 Minute Solutions, you can play all of the segments in the order they appear, choose one, or create a personalized workout by picking and choosing between the two segments.
Comments: This video would be a good option for someone who can't or doesn't want to use weights for whatever reason, such as travel.
This video has inspired some strong feelings both for and against it. I think it's fine, nice, perfectly acceptable for what it is. (In other words, I don't absolutely love it and want to do it every day, but I don't hate or even dislike it in any way.) I have found it useful in my recovery from an illness, since I could easily choose my workout length and resistance by grabbing higher or lower on the band or by using bands of different strengths. Yeah, there are a few "lookie what I can do with the band" moves, but I'd say the same is true for many of the other band workouts I've tried have moments like that, especially in stretch portions.
Since this video came out about the same time as 10 Minute Solution Slim & Sculpt Pilates, I'll just offer a few thoughts on the two. Obviously the major difference between the two workouts using the resistance band is that the Pilates one uses Pilates exercises while the Tone one uses more gym-style or athletic exercises. Slim & Sculpt uses few reps in more exercises, while Trouble Zones uses more reps in fewer exercises. Slim & Sculpt doesn't really have a quick warm-up for each segment, but both end with a quick stretch or two. I like both of these, as each has their place in my collection, but my affinity to Pilates and fairly large collection of gym-style weights workouts might make me lean towards Slim & Sculpt Pilates.
Instructor comments:
Amy has a pleasant, encouraging personality. She includes a decent amount of form tips but not a ton of form instruction. Amy mirror cues. She seems to be having a good time but isn't super peppy, over the top, etc. She might have too much personality for some people, however: there's a bit of a mischievous glint in her eye as she urges you to keep going, and she says a few goofy things like telling you to put your hand on your arm to feel your sizzling hot muscles. As with all of the 10 Minute Solutions, one major focus for motivation is results, specifically in your appearance.

UC Berkeley Press Release
Three bacterial genomes found lurking inside recently sequenced fruit fly genomes
BERKELEY – When scientists finished sequencing the genomes of seven species of fruit fly last year, little did they know that they had also sequenced the genes of several bacteria that dwell undetected inside fruit fly embryos.
The genes of these bacteria, from a genus Wolbachia that infects many insects, have been sitting in the fruit fly gene database since then, unnoticed, according to Michael B. Eisen, a UC Berkeley assistant professor of molecular and cell biology and a faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. But Eisen, a geneticist who mines the fruit fly and other genomes for clues to how genes shape the organism, had an inkling they were there, and in a quick search of the genome database late last year, turned up a slew of bacterial genes.

Because he's a fruit fly geneticist and not an expert on bacteria, Eisen contacted bacterial geneticists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Maryland, and together they pulled out genes from three species of Wolbachia - all of them new to science.
"The sequencers who did the Drosophila species didn't even notice this because this is just a very small fraction of the total sequence and it was sort of tossed into the garbage," he said. "In every genome there is always stuff that doesn't make sense, and people weren't looking for it. We thought this was interesting as much for the novelty of the way the bacterial genomes were sequenced than what we learned
about the bacteria themselves."
A team led by Steven L. Salzberg of TIGR and including Eisen of UC Berkeley's Center for Integrative Genomics published their discovery in the most recent issue of the open access journal Genome Biology. Eisen, a member of the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research (QB3) at UC Berkeley, is a vocal advocate of open access publishing, which makes the results of all research and research data freely available on the Internet.
"The discovery of these three new genomes demonstrates how powerful the public release of raw sequencing data can be," wrote the authors, who have deposited their findings in Genbank, an open repository of genomic sequences.
The existence of these bacterial species inside the fruit fly genome database is an artifact of the way the fly was sequenced, Eisen said. Embryos were ground up and the DNA extracted, meaning that any endosymbionts - organisms that live their entire lives inside another organism and have developed a mutual dependence with the host - would have had their DNA intermixed with fly DNA before sequencing.
The sequencers of other genomes, especially the human genome, were more careful to eliminate any endosymbionts or parasites, he said, but secrets may still lie hidden inside these other genomes.
"There is a lot of unexplored stuff out there in the genome databases - it's certainly not out of the question that other genomes have these lurking endosymbionts," Eisen said. "After all, there are more bacterial cells in a human body than there are human cells."
These findings might help shed light on the evolution of bacterial endosymbionts and on the mechanisms these organisms use to alter the cell cycle of the host in order to reproduce.
"There are a lot of interesting questions one could ask if one started to get endosymbiont species along with their host species - questions about the evolution of the host-symbiont relationship," Eisen said. "Endosymbiosis was a crucial evolutionary event in the history of all eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria in animals and chloroplasts in plants are relic symbionts - captured bacteria that slowly lost their ability to live freely. It's clearly something that happens a lot in nature and has been very poorly characterized."
Wolbachia made headlines a year ago with the publication of the genome sequence of the species Wolbachia pipientis, which lives inside the reproductive cells of the laboratory fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The bacteria were maligned as "male killers" because they sometimes kill developing males, and occasionally convert male embryos to female. But species of Wolbachia live inside a wide variety of insects, spiders, and crustaceans and have beneficial as well as deleterious effects, Eisen said.
Given the Wolbachia genome and the likelihood that W. pipientis had been sequenced along with the fruit fly genome, Eisen performed a quick look for Wolbachia in the Trace Archive, an open source for raw genome data. In his words, "I found a whole bunch of stuff."
Salzburg and his TIGR colleagues took over and searched not only the D. melanogaster genome but also the genomes of six other fruit flies so far sequenced. They found Wolbachia DNA in three species. They were able to reconstruct 95 percent (1,440,650 base pairs) of the genome of one new species from D. ananassae, which they called Wolbachia wAna. Using the same technique, they identified Wolbachia wSim in the genome of D. simulans and Wolbachia wMoj in the genome of D. mojavensis.
The team compared the new Wolbachia genomes with the known genome of the wMel strain of W. pipientis and found a number of new genes - up to 464 new genes in wAna - as well as a sign of extensive rearrangement between wMel and wAna, indicating that the two strains have diverged significantly since they first infected the two Drosophila species. The two most closely related strains are wAna and wSim, which have nearly identical genomes. wMel and wMoj share about 97% of their genomes with wAna and wSim but are a bit more distant from one another, they found.
The work was supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
Coauthors with Salzberg and Eisen are Julie C. Dunning Hotopp, Arthur L. Delcher, Mihai Pop and William C. Nelson of TIGR and Douglas R. Smith of Agencourt Bioscience Corporation.

Tying Rick To Newt
The Group: New York State Democratic Committee
The Ad: The New York State Democratic Party has released a new TV ad on behalf of Hillary Clinton linking Rep. Rick Lazio to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The 30-second ad titled Stand shows grainy footage of Lazio and Gingrich together, and features interviews with men and women on the street expressing shock and disappointment to hear that Lazio supported Gingrich's measures. The ad is running statewide in New York.
Audio: Announcer: "Excuse me, did you know that for four years, Rick Lazio was deputy whip to Newt Gingrich in Congress?"
Woman on Street: "No I didn't know that."
Man on Street: "This does surprise me."
Announcer: "And that he helped write and pass the Gingrich budget, with two hundred and seventy billion in Medicare cuts?"
Man on Street: "I find that rather disappointing, yes."
Woman on Street: "I thought he was more pro-healthcare"
Announcer: "And that Lazio followed Gingrich's lead and voted for the largest education cuts in history?"
Woman on Street: "Oh my goodness, I didn't know that."
Woman on Street: "That's not good."
Announcer: "Tell Lazio to stop playing both sides."
Woman on Street: "Who knew?"
Visual: The ad features "man on the street" interviews conducted by an off-camera narrator. The ad opens with a woman being asked if she knew Lazio was deputy whip for Newt Gingrich. The woman is shocked and says she didn't know. The ad continues with the announcer making a series of statements about Lazio's record with text in conjunction, "For four years, Rick Lazio was a deputy to Newt Gingrich in Congress?", "Lazio helped write Gingrich budget with $270 billion in Medicare cuts," and "Lazio voted for the largest education cuts in history." Meanwhile, the camera goes from person to person, showing them surprised and disappointed as they hear about his record. The ad concludes with the text, "Call Lazio 202-225-3335."
Fact Check: Regarding Medicare, Lazio voted in 1995 to reduce the rate of growth in Medicare spending. Lazio's campaign contends that cutting the rate of growth is not actually a cut in the Medicare budget.
Strategy: Stand takes aim at Lazio's image as a moderate by trying to pin him to one of the more unpopular conservative figures in America: Newt Gingrich. This strategy is not new for Clinton, who has linked Lazio to Gingrich in several of her ads and campaign speeches. In fact, the ad's suggestion that Lazio is not what he apears echoes the tag line in Clinton's recent ads: "Rick Lazio the more you know, the more you wonder." The ad's use of ordinary people tries to suggest that average, rational voters are shocked to learn the facts about Lazio. Moreover, the ad implies that Lazio has tried to hide his conservative side as exemplified by the ending line, "Who knew?" The ad is paid for by soft money which the New York State Democratic Party can use to run "issue ads" as long as they do not explicitly advocate a specific candidate.

Sorted by relevance. Sort by session.
79.32 ▶ Questioner: I'm sorry that I have much difficulty in asking these questions, but we're on material that I find somewhat difficult.
I find it interesting that the very first experiment of veiling Matrix from the Potentiator and vice-versa created service-to-self polarity. This seems to be a very important philosophical point in the development of the creation and possibly the beginning of a system of what we would call magic not envisioned previously.
Let me ask this question. Prior to the extension of first distortion was the magical potential of the higher densities as great as it is now when the greatest potential was achieved in consciousness for each density? This is difficult to ask. What I am saying is at the end of fourth density, prior to the extension of free will, was the magical potential, what we call magic, as great, or the ability, or the effect as great as it is now at the end of fourth density?
Ra: I am Ra. As you understand, if we may use this misnomer, magic, the magical potential in third and fourth density was then far greater than after the change. However, there was far, far less desire or will to use this potential.
93.18 ▶ Questioner: The third card also shows the wand, I am assuming it is, in the right hand; the ball at the top being the round magical shape. Am I in any way correct in guessing that Catalyst of the Mind suggests possible eventual use of the magic depicted by this wand?
Ra: I am Ra. The wand is astrological in its origin and as an image may be released from its stricture. The sphere of spiritual power is an indication indeed that each opportunity is pregnant with the most extravagant magical possibilities for the far-seeing adept.
95.6 ▶ Questioner: I assume you mean that we should put the salt on the outer doors only and not the inner doors of the house. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We cannot express the nature of salt and water and garlic with clarity enough to inform you as to the efficacy with which salt absorbs vibrations which have been requested to move into salt when salt has been given water. We cannot express the full magical nature of your water, nor can we express the likeness and attractiveness of the garlic cut to lower astral forms. The attractiveness is negative and no service-to-self astral form will accept coexistence with the cut garlic.
Therefore, we offer these suggestions. We also request, carefully, that the broom be clean and that the garlic be burned. The virginity of the broom is most efficacious.
94.20 ▶ Questioner: The magical shape is on the right edge of the card indicating to me that the spiritual significance is on the right edge of the card, indicating to me that the spiritual experience would be the right-hand path. Could Ra comment on that?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes. The figure is expressing the nature of experience by having its attention caught by what may be termed the left-hand catalyst. Meanwhile, the power, the magic, is available upon the right-hand path.
The nature of experience is such that the attention shall be constantly given varieties of experience. Those that are presumed to be negative, or interpreted as negative, may seem in abundance. It is a great challenge to take catalyst and devise the magical, positive experience. That which is magical in the negative experience is much longer coming, shall we say, in the third density.
96.14 ▶ Questioner: Would Ra comment on the technique of blessing the water we will use to sprinkle on the salt? I assume we just sprinkle the water directly off of our finger tips onto the line of salt. And also how much, in general, should be sprinkled on the salt? How wet we should get it? This is trivial, but I'd like to get it right.
Ra: I am Ra. The blessing of the water may be that one we have previously given, or it may be that one which is written within the liturgy of this instrument's distortion of the worship of the One Creator, or it may simply be obtained from what you call your Catholic Church in the form of holy water.
The intention of blessing is the notable feature of blessed water. The water may be sprinkled not so that all salt is soaked but so that a goodly portion has been dampened. This is not a physical working. The substances need to be seen in their ideal state so that water may be seen to be enabling the salt.
55.6 ▶ Questioner: What method of communication with the Orion entity would a negative bidder of this type use?
Ra: I am Ra. The two most usual types of bidding are: One, the use of perversions of sexual magic; two, the use of perversions of ritual magic. In each case the key to success is the purity of the will of the bidder. The concentration upon victory over the servant must be nearly perfect.
95.5 ▶ Questioner: I am assuming that we would prepare the blessed water the same as we prepare the water for the instrument to drink after a session and then would wipe the windows and doors with this water… probably have to be done in a bucket, and… I would like to know if this is correct, and what was meant by salting of the windows and doors?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, you may bless the water yourselves or may request so-called holy water from any blessed place; that is, blessed by intention. Secondly, the water shall be carefully shaken from the fingers along the sills of all windows and doors as they have been opened. Thirdly, prior to the sprinkling of this cleansing, blessing sacrament of water, the salt shall be trailed along these sills in a line and again allowed to exist in this configuration for 36 to 48 hours. Then the virgin broom may ritually sweep the salt out of each window and doorway, sweeping with each stroke the less fortunate of the vibrations within the dwelling which might find coexistence with your group difficult.
71.16 ▶ Questioner: I will state that the objective of a white magical ritual is to create a change in consciousness of a group. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Not necessarily. It is possible for what you term white magic to be worked for the purpose of altering only the self or the place of working. This is done in the knowledge that to aid the self in polarization towards love and light is to aid the planetary vibration.
75.36 ▶ Questioner: How does the use of the magical ritual of invoking the magical personality aid the mind/body/spirit complex totality? Could you expand on the answer you gave in the last session with respect to that?
Ra: I am Ra. When the magical personality is properly and efficaciously invoked the self has invoked its Higher Self. Thus a bridge betwixt space/time and time/space is made and the sixth-density magical personality experiences directly the third-density catalyst for the duration of the working. It is most central to deliberately take off the magical personality after the working in order that the Higher Self resume its appropriate configuration as analog to the space/time mind/body/spirit.
67.13 ▶ Questioner: I was wondering about the magical, shall I say, principles behind the fifth-density entity giving this service and his ability to give it. Why is he able to utilize these particular physical distortions from a philosophical or magical point of view?
Ra: I am Ra. This entity is able to, shall we say, penetrate in time/space configuration the field of this particular entity. It has moved through the quarantine without any vehicle and thus has been more able to escape detection by the net of the Guardians.
This is the great virtue of the magical working whereby consciousness is sent forth essentially without vehicle as light. The light would work instantly upon an untuned individual by suggestion, that is the stepping out in front of the traffic because the suggestion is that there is no traffic. This entity, as each in this group, is enough disciplined in the ways of love and light that it is not suggestible to any great extent. However, there is a predisposition of the physical complex which this entity is making maximal use of as regards the instrument, hoping for instance, by means of increasing dizziness, to cause the instrument to fall or to indeed walk in front of your traffic because of impaired vision.
The magical principles, shall we say, may be loosely translated into your system of magic whereby symbols are used and traced and visualized in order to develop the power of the light.
79.5 ▶ Questioner: We have been ending our banishing ritual prior to the session here by a gesture that relieves us of the magical personality. I was just wondering if we should omit that gesture so as to maintain the magical personality while performing the Circle of One and then only relinquish the magical personality either after that has formed or after the session? Which would be more appropriate?
Ra: I am Ra. The practice of magical workings demands the most rigorous honesty. If your estimate of your ability is that you can sustain the magical personality throughout this working, it is well. As long as you have some doubt it is inadvisable. In any case it is appropriate for this instrument to return its magical personality rather than carry this persona into the trance state, for it does not have the requisite magical skill to function in this circumstance and would be far more vulnerable than if the waking personality is offered as channel. This working is indeed magical in nature in the basic sense. However, it is inappropriate to move more quickly than one's feet may walk.
78.29 ▶ Questioner: I understand your limitations in answering that. Thank you.
Could you tell me how, in first density, wind and fire teach earth and water?
Ra: I am Ra. You may see the air and fire* of that which is chaos as literally illuminating and forming the formless, for earth and water were, in the timeless state, unformed. As the active principles of fire and air blow and burn incandescently about that which nurtures that which is to come, the water learns to become sea, lake, and river offering the opportunity for viable life. The earth learns to be shaped, thus offering the opportunity for viable life.
89.20 ▶ Questioner: You stated that each archetype is a concept complex. Would you please define what you mean by that statement?
Ra: I am Ra. Upon the face of it such a definition is without merit, being circular. A concept complex is a complex of concepts just as a molecule is a complex structure made up of more than one type of energy nexus or atom. Each atom within a molecule is its unique identity and, by some means, can be removed from the molecule. The molecule of water can, by chemical means, be caused to separate into hydrogen and oxygen. Separately they cannot be construed to equal water. When formed in the molecular structure which exemplifies water the two are irrefragably water.
Just in this way each archetype has within it several root atoms of organizational being. Separately the overall structure of the complex cannot be seen. Together the concept complex is irrefragably one thing. However, just as it is most useful in grasping the potentials in your physical systems of the constituting nature of water, so in grasping the nature of an archetype it is useful to have a sense of its component concepts.
3.18 ▶ Questioner: Should we have her drink the water from the chalice behind her head after we charge it or should we use a different glass of water?
Ra: That and only that chalice shall be the most beneficial as the virgin material living in the chalice accepts, retains, and responds to the love vibration activated by your beingness.
I am Ra. I will now leave this group rejoicing in the power and peace of the One Creator. Adonai.
71.17 ▶ Questioner: The change in consciousness should result in a greater distortion towards service to others, toward unity with all, and toward knowing in order to serve. Is this correct, and are there any other desired results?
Ra: I am Ra. These are commendable phrases. The heart of white magic is the experience of the joy of union with the Creator. This joy will of necessity radiate throughout the life experience of the positive adept. It is for this reason that sexual magic is not restricted solely to the negatively oriented polarizing adepts but when most carefully used has its place in high magic as it, when correctly pursued, joins body, mind, and spirit with the One Infinite Creator.
Any purpose which you may frame should, we suggest, take into consideration this basic union with the One Infinite Creator, for this union will result in service to others of necessity.
75.38 ▶ Questioner: Now the invocation of the magical personality is not necessarily effective for the neophyte. Is there a point at which there is a definite quantum change and that personality does then reside, or can it be done in small degrees or percentages of magical personality as the neophyte becomes more adept?
Ra: I am Ra. The latter is correct.
73.7 ▶ Questioner: Would you please do that?
Ra: I am Ra. There are two concepts with which you deal. The first is the great way of the development of the light in the microcosmic mind/body/spirit. It is assumed that an adept will have its energy centers functioning smoothly and in a balanced manner to its best effort before a magical working. All magical workings are based upon evocation and/or invocation.
The first invocation of any magical working is that invocation of the magical personality as you are familiar with this term. In the working of which you speak the first station is the beginning of the invocation of this magical personality which is invoked by the motion of putting on something. Since you do not have an item of apparel or talisman the gesture which you have made is appropriate.
The second station is the evocation of the great cross of life. This is an extension of the magical personality to become the Creator. Again, all invocations and evocations are drawn through the violet energy center. This may then be continued towards whatever energy centers are desired to be used.
74.13 ▶ Questioner: There are many of these. The ones most obvious in our society are those used in the church rather than those used by the magical adept. What is the difference in the effect of those used, say, in the church, in our various churches, and those specifically magical incantations used by the adept?
Ra: I am Ra. If all in your churches were adepts consciously full of will, of seeking, of concentration, of conscious knowledge of the calling, there would be no difference. The efficacy of the calling is a function of the magical qualities of those who call; that is, their desire to seek the altered state of consciousness desired.
42.17 ▶ Questioner: Was that in any way related to the Golden Dawn in ceremonial magic?
Ra: I am Ra. The relationship was congruency.
79.33 ▶ Questioner: Now, let me be sure I understand you: prior to the change and the extension of free will, let's take specifically the end of fourth density, magical potential for the condition when there was only service-to-others polarization, magical ability or potential was much greater at the end of fourth density than at the end of fourth density immediately after the split of polarization and the extension of free will. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Magical ability is the ability to consciously use the so-called unconscious. Therefore, there was maximal ability prior to the innovation of sub-Logoi's free will.
68.12 ▶ Questioner: It would seem to me that since I can't imagine anything anything worse, shall I say, than this particular result, other than possibly the total disintegration of the mind/body/spirit complex due to nuclear bomb, that it would be very advisable to seek out the magical training and defense for this situation. Could Ra and would Ra instruct in this type of magical defense?
Ra: I am Ra. This request lies beyond the first distortion. The entity seeking magical ability must do so in a certain manner. We may give instructions of a general nature. This we have already done. The instrument has begun the process of balancing the self. This is a lengthy process.
To take an entity before it is ready and offer it the scepter of magical power is to infringe in an unbalanced manner. We may suggest with some asperity that the instrument never call upon Ra in any way while unprotected by the configuration which is at this time present.
1.12 Questioner: No. Could you explain it?
Ra: We suggest first a brief period of silence. Then the repetition of the instrument's vibratory complex of sound in your density which you call name. Repeat until an answer is obtained. Then the laying on of the hands at the neck region for a brief period so that the instrument may recharge batteries which are not, shall we say, full of the essence of this particular field at this time. And finally, a gift of water into which the love of all present has been given. This will restore this entity, for her distortions contain great sensitivity towards the vibrations of love and the charged water will effect comfort. Do you now understand?
75.32 ▶ Questioner: The three aspects of the magical personality are stated to be power, love, and wisdom. Is this correct and are these the only primary aspects of the magical personality?
Ra: I am Ra. The three aspects of the magical personality, power, love, and wisdom, are so called in order that attention be paid to each aspect in developing the basic tool of the adept; that is, its self. It is by no means a personality of three aspects. It is a being of unity, being of sixth density and equivalent to what you call your higher self and, at the same time, is a personality enormously rich in variety of experience and subtlety of emotion.
The three aspects are given that the neophyte not abuse the tools of its trade but rather approach those tools balanced in the center of love and wisdom and thus seeking power in order to serve.
89.19 ▶ Questioner: In that case, I'll ask you… You stated that Ra used the tarot to develop the magical personality. Was this done by the system of learning to become, in mind, the essence of each archetype and in this way develop the magical personality?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The clothing one's self within the archetype is an advanced practice of the adept which has long studied this archetypical system. The concept complexes which together are intended to represent the architecture of a significant and rich portion of the mind are intended to be studied as individual concept complexes; as Matrix, Potentiator, etc., in viewing mind/body/spirit connections; and in pairs with some concentration upon the polarity of the male and the female. If these are studied there comes the moment when the deep threnodies and joyful ditties of the deep mind can successfully be brought forward to intensify, articulate, and heighten some aspect of the magical personality.
71.15 ▶ Questioner: Could you please comment on the accuracy of this statement? I'm going to generally talk about the concept of magic and first define it as the ability to create changes in consciousness at will. Is this an acceptable definition?
Ra: I am Ra. This definition is acceptable in that it places upon the adept the burden it shall bear. It may be better understood by referring back to an earlier query, in your measurement, within this working having to do with the unmanifested self. In magic one is working with one's unmanifested self in body, in mind, and in spirit; the mixture depending upon the nature of the working.
These workings are facilitated by the enhancement of the activation of the indigo-ray energy center. The indigo-ray energy center is fed, as are all energy centers, by experience but far more than the others is fed by what we have called the disciplines of the personality.
45.12 ▶ Questioner: I just need to know if there is anything we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or improve the contact?
Ra: I am Ra. [Loud rapping.] All is well, my brothers. [Voice from outside: "Water man."]
23.14 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell me of the reasons for the disease? I think I already know, but I think it might be good for the book to state this at this time.
Ra: I am Ra. This is, as we have mentioned before, not particularly informative with regard to the Law of One. However, the land you know of as Egypt at that time was highly barbarous in its living conditions, as you would call them. The river which you call Nile was allowed to flood and to recede, thus providing the fertile grounds for the breeding of diseases which may be carried by insects. Also, the preparation of foodstuffs allowed diseases to form. Also, there was difficulty in many cases with sources of water and water which was taken caused disease due to the organisms therein.
91.19 ▶ Questioner: Secondly, we have the wand which has been seen as the power of will. Would Ra comment?
Ra: I am Ra. The concept of will is indeed pouring forth from each facet of the image of the Matrix of the Mind. The wand as the will, however, is, shall we say, an astrological derivative of the out-reaching hand forming the, shall we say, magical gesture. The excellent portion of the image which may be seen distinctly as separate from the concept of the wand is that sphere which indicates the spiritual nature of the object of the will of one wishing to do magical acts within the manifestation of your density.
68.11 ▶ Questioner: Is the reason that this could be done the fact that the Wanderer's mind/body/spirit complex extracted in what we call the trance state, leaving the third-density physical, in this state the Wanderer does not have the full capability or capability to magically defend itself? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In the case of this instrument, this is correct. This is also correct when applied almost without exception to those instruments working in trance which have not consciously experienced magical training in time/space in the, shall we say, present incarnation. The entities of your density capable of magical defense in this situation are extremely rare.
75.16 ▶ Questioner: Let me see if I understand, then, how the Orion group finds a chink in this distortion. The entity identifying, or having a distortion of any amount toward martyrdom is then open by its free will to the aid of the Orion group to make it a martyr. Am I correct?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct only in the quite specialized position in which the instrument finds itself, that is, of being involved in and dedicated to work which is magical or extremely polarized in nature. This group entered this work with polarity but virtual innocence as to the magical nature of this polarity it is beginning to discover.

text: I'm new to this phone, I used to have Blackberry Storm. I want to d-load some apps to my phone, but I"m noticing that when I go to d-load them, they are telling me that the app will have full access to my information, sd card, can delete my pictures, can see my location. This is alittle concerning to me. I was just wondering if anyone had any insite on this? Thanks!
