1 Samuel 24
David Spares Saul's Life
1 [a]After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, "David is in the Desert of En Gedi." 2 So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
3 He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave. 4 The men said, "This is the day the Lord spoke of when he said[b] to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.'" Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
5 Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe. 6 He said to his men, "The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the Lord." 7 With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, "My lord the king!" When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. 9 He said to Saul, "Why do you listen when men say, 'David is bent on harming you'? 10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, 'I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed.' 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life. 12 May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. 13 As the old saying goes, 'From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you.
14 "Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Who are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea? 15 May the Lord be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand."
16 When David finished saying this, Saul asked, "Is that your voice, David my son?" And he wept aloud. 17 "You are more righteous than I," he said. "You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly. 18 You have just now told me about the good you did to me; the Lord delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me. 19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward you well for the way you treated me today. 20 I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands. 21 Now swear to me by the Lord that you will not kill off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father's family."
22 So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
"When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people."[b] 9 (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Instructions for Christian Living
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do not sin"[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Workforce resouces can be invaluable
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Follow careful process to evaluate relocation options
Relocating a company involves much more than finding affordable, available real estate for a new location. Companies considering relocation have a lot at stake and should take their time making a decision – whether they ultimately stay or move. Ongoing operating costs have to be considered as well as key employee retention. Following a carefully laid out process will produce the best results.
Get to know each other. Spend time getting to know a community and what it has to offer. Companies should expect to be visited a couple dozen times by community representatives as part of the information gathering and diligence process. This allows both sides to determine if it is a good match.
Compare costs. Communities should be upfront about the cost of doing business and willing to compare them against several other locations if necessary. Typical comparisons include basic bottom-line considerations, such as workers compensation, labor costs, utility rates and unemployment insurance.
Consider key employees. Small-to-medium-sized businesses, especially manufacturers, have key employees they need to be successful. Identifying those key employees and involving them in the relocation process is a big issue. Some companies bring key employees on community visits and site tours to gain their input and buy in.

WSJ: State schools turning out best workers
Jennifer Merritt, career editor at the Wall Street Journal, explained that recruiters value the work readiness of state school students even above the elite private schools. The WSJ asked the nation's largest employers which schools produced the most academically prepared students with the most relevant training and best ability to succeed and grow with their companies. Recruiters indicated they found state schools produced the best students and were most eager to forge corporate partnerships, according to Merritt.
The six-month WSJ survey reaffirmed the Inland Northwest's reputation for having a high-quality, available workforce. The newspaper ranked Washington State University graduates among the Top 25 most sought after by corporate recruiters.
WSU was the only Washington school on the WSJ list. The data is based upon 43,000 hires made by public and private corporations, government agencies and nonprofits over the past years in high-demand areas like engineering, consulting and finance.
WSU has strong business, engineering, and science programs, making its students a good fit for those needs. WSU has four campuses, including its main location in Pullman, Wash. and a large branch in Spokane, with 12 colleges, 200 fields of study and more than 100 majors.

Interesting story, JoAnn. My mother used to tell stories like that about her grandmother.ReplyDelete
Not sure how I'd feel about a ghostly visit. When my husband was dying from lung cancer, I asked him if he would send me a sign when he got to heaven. He said he'd sure try.
A couple days after his death, my son got a light bulb to add to the 4-light overhead unit. I told him the socket was bad and one had not worked in years. He screwed the bulb in anyway and light flooded from it. It stayed on for several hours, and to me, I had my sign.
Such a lovely story, JoAnn :) Very moving and well written!ReplyDelete

|Popping into your mind
Hypnosis is a mental state of relaxed consciousness in which the unconscious or subconscious parts of the mind can be more readily accessed than during full consciousness.[citation needed] The conscious mind is still present and the experience is usually (although not universally) remembered afterwards.[citation needed]

Natural and induced hypnosis[edit]
Hypnosis is a natural state experienced at times by nearly all human beings. For example, people often lapse into hypnosis while driving (highway hypnosis) — part of their attention remains focused on driving and reacts appropriately to external needs, but their mind wanders to other subjects. When they return to full alertness (suddenly or gradually), they may realise that they cannot remember any of the past few minutes, although in fact they were driving safely throughout. Similarly, the mind may wander while reading, and you may suddenly realise that you have read several pages of a book without absorbing any of the meaning. Some people experience hypnosis much more frequently than others, and similarly some people may be more susceptible to being hypnotised or to suggestions made under hypnosis than other.[citation needed]
Hypnotism is the act of inducing hypnosis in another person (or, in some cases, a chicken). Visual focus points, such as the clichéd swinging pendulum or watch, are rarely used.[note 1] Usually the client focuses on the hypnotist's voice while he or she talks them through a mental visualisation, such as walking slowly down a series of steps into a deeper state of relaxation. The client retains their free will and is not under the hypnotist's command, and the degree of influence the hypnotist exerts over the client will vary depending on the nature and purpose of the hypnotism and the suggestibility of the client. Usually hypnosis can only be achieved if the client trusts the hypnotist implicitly and allows themself to relax fully.[citation needed] Unfortunately, classic pocket watches cannot be used as unerring mind control mechanisms like in the movies; however, they can be used as part of a hypnotic induction.
Hypnotherapy refers to a variety of therapeutic disciplines involving hypnosis. While some forms of hypnotherapy are regulated by professional bodies and qualifications, the use of the term "hypnotherapy" itself is not fully regulated. Thus, in many countries, anybody who can hypnotise clients (which is a fairly simple skill to learn) and who claims to offer some form of therapy, can concatenate those two words together and call themselves a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is generally considered complementary/alternative therapy and is not widely endorsed by the medical and psychiatric community as a primary therapy. As with any other type of alternative (or proven) medicine, hypnosis can have a placebo effect;[citation needed] it can also be used successfully as a complement to other forms of therapy as it can make the patient feel more relaxed and open.[citation needed]
The problems with hypnotism[edit]
There are some possible risks involved in hypnotism. One is that the greater access to the subconscious mind can sometimes enable repressed emotions or memories (often traumatic) to be brought to the surface. Analytical hypnotherapy often focuses on achieving this result. As with any other type of talking therapy (or even in many aspects of daily life), it can also sometimes occur accidentally during other forms of hypnotism, where the hypnotist (such as a stage hypnotist or hypno-anaesthetist) may not have the psychiatric knowledge to deal with this situation, and the experience may have long-term psychological effects on the client.[1]
Another problem (as with any form of regression therapy) is that the "repressed" memories which come to light may often not be conclusively proven. In many cases genuine memories are discovered (though hypnotherapy is not necessary for old memories to be rediscovered). In some cases, however, the recovered memories are questionable and may be a creation of the client's own imagination, or confabulations. Sometimes the client may have been guided towards certain kinds of 'memories' by the suggestions of an eager therapist. Controversial cases include clients' claims to have recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse, and these have sometimes been used as testimony in court cases, although their validity as legal evidence remains disputed.[2]
Another big problem is the existence of "command hypnosis", which we will cover separately later.[citation needed]
Types of hypnotism[edit]
Hypnotic techniques are used for varying purposes by a wide range of practitioners, ranging from clinical therapists, to alternative therapy quacks, to mind-controlling cultists. The major branches of hypnosis and hypnotherapy are as follows.[citation needed]
Analytical hypnotherapy[edit]
This is a form of psychoanalysis using hypnosis, in which the client explores their thoughts, emotions and memories under hypnosis. In many cases this involves the retrieval of supposedly repressed memories of traumatic experiences, usually from childhood. Analytical hypnotherapy is particularly effective for deep-rooted problems such as phobias and some personality disorders, but should only be undertaken by competent trained professionals. Practice is regulated by professional bodies such as the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotheraphists and American Council of Hypnotist Examiners in the USA, the UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations in the UK, and The International Board of Hypnotherapy.
Past life regression therapy[edit]
In this dubious 'therapy', clients are also encouraged to retrieve repressed memories while under hypnosis, but the memories are ostensibly from a 'past life'. This may be undertaken on the pseudotherapeutical basis that events in a former life are influencing patterns in the client's current life. Or the client may just be curious about who they were before they were themselves, as it were. Memories of past lives can never be conclusively proven or disproven, and claims made about past life regressive rest heavily on clients' convictions that what they have 'remembered' is real. Similar to hypnotic regression that reveals details of alleged alien abductions, these therapies rely heavily on suggestions by the hypnotist, who can prompt the subject. Critics have pointed out how it's interesting that almost everyone who has undergone such therapy turn out to have led interesting lives, often at the sides of famous historical figures, completely ignoring any relatively boring or unglamorous cases where they find themselves dying of plague in a gutter. This may just be a response to the selective reporting of "interesting" regressions, however. In an episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! where this sort of hypnotherapy was shown, Penn Jillette thoroughly mocked the bad French accent by a subject who was claiming to be in the court of Marie Antoinette.[3]
Post-hypnotic suggestion[edit]
This is the simplest and probably the most common form of hypnotherapy, and involves making positive suggestions to a client, which have a greater impact on the mind due to hypnosis. It is similar to cognitive therapy in that it addresses thought patterns rather than analysing deeper causes. Post-hypnotic suggestion can be effective for dealing with self-confidence or self-esteem problems, for assisting in weight loss, or for helping clients to give up smoking or other addictions or compulsions. However, some individuals experience more success than others, and there is a lack of comparative research to determine whether it is more successful in addressing these problems than other techniques.
Self-hypnosis techniques can be easily learned,[citation needed], or an external stimulus such as recorded music or speech can be used to induce hypnosis.[citation needed] Self-hypnosis may be used as a relaxation technique, or for post-hypnotic suggestion.[citation needed] Self-hypnosis CDs are often marketed on a range of topics, such as 'self-belief' or 'quit smoking'.
Hypnosis for pain relief[edit]
Hypnosis may sometimes be used to relieve pain, or enable patients to overcome pain — for example, for cancer sufferers. In rarer and more controversial cases, it has been used as an alternative to anaesthesia for surgery.[4]
Command hypnosis[edit]
The dark side of post-hypnotic suggestion.[citation needed] In command hypnosis, the suggestions are more forceful and repeated, often combined with other brainwashing techniques, with the intention to change the client's beliefs, attitudes, emotions, perceptions or memories. Command hypnosis is among the techniques used by Scientologists to manipulate new converts during its "auditing" process, and also exists online in darker corners of the Internet.[citation needed]
Stage hypnotism[edit]
Stage hypnotism uses a milder form of command hypnosis for entertainment purposes. It is often a fairly crude form of comedy where volunteers are made to ridicule themselves by acting like an animal or impersonating a celebrity. Recently hypnotism and other suggestion techniques have been used in more thought-provoking ways by performers such as Derren Brown, who aims to expose the kinds of trickery used by fraudulent mediums and cultists.[5][6]
Hypnotic breast enlargement[edit]
Woo-meisters have been known to hypnotize women to make their breasts larger.

At a 2 1/2 hour hearing in front of LibDem officials in Basingstoke last Tursday he was asked to provide a detailed explanation for a light-hearted remark published on Twitter on 27th January during a #bbcqt session.
In an interview with Linda Fort he conceded, "If you have to explain a joke to that extent, then you probably shouldn't have made it."
The complaint which started the process was issued by former Labour Mayor of Reading and RCRE director Rajinder Sohpal, who suggested the intention was malicious, and commented sourly on the party order to undertake a course of diversity training, "It's the least he should do."
Cllr Swaine also gave a widely reported formal 'unreserved apology' (Reading LibDems, Reading Post, Reading Chronicle, LibDem Voice) in which he admitted his recklessness commenting in a way which could be misinterpreted as designed to cause offence - "that was never intended."
But there was clear personal relief that his part in the process was over as the fearless local satirist announced in a return to form, "The Independent Party in Reading is no more."
However the process suffered hold-ups and has not yet fully concluded, as a party spokesperson explained, "During the investigation into a comment by Cllr Warren Swaine, a number of other complaints and allegations came to light, which fell outside of the scope of the original investigation."
This has sparked rumours of a 'cover-up' and a new 'comprehensive' investigation has been launched "to ensure that all issues are investigated and dealt with in a robust manner."
These 'other issues' include further complaints to Reading Borough Council's Standards Board and the English Standards Board. They were not upheld and no further action was taken, although he was reprimanded for breaching the councillors code when he tweeted about a member of the public gallery during a full council session.
Cllr Swaine explained that although the individual was technically a member of the public he is a former Labour councillor and had declared himself as a candidate for local elections, making this something of a grey area at the time. He promised to be more careful in future, saying, "I hold my hand up to that one."
Hugh Muir says the whole affair has caused "a headache for party bosses."
He offers the interesting counterpoint that Cllr Swaine could have had a stronger impact had he not strayed into the politically sensitive territory of racial terminology. He suggests more effective words to put into the Labour MP's mouth for his ineffectual defence of a ridiculous policy would be: "Is it because I is a half-wit?"
The Grim Reaper described the original scene, "[Cllr Swaine] was getting extremely worked up over comments being made by Chuka Umunna MP. This is understandable, as [he] does seem to have that effect." adding his own judgement on the now-notorious tweet, "Moderately amusing, but the great comedians of our time can sleep easy at night."
LibDem blogger Spiderplant Land is confused about the matter, and says she'll need to lie down in a darkened room before passing judgement:
"Half of me thinks there is more to this than meets the eye and we should all take a step back, the other thinks we look like we are protecting a councillor who made a racist comment and I can't condone that."Clearly she agrees that her party is taking the correct course of action and a further investigation is in order.
She is also concerned about how Labour activists have been attempting to make partisan capital out of the matter. Her ire is particularly drawn to Political Scrapbook - as its' name suggests it has made a variety of over-the-top and provocative claims gleaned from tidbits and gossip.
PS says that Cllr Swaine was 'fired' from his position rather resigning, then reinstated 'quietly' in order to "sneak the news of his return out at the beginning of silly season", not only "without making an apology", but refusing to do so for the whole period and with support from party leaders.
PS then followed up with the 'revelation' that the new investigation would be undertaken into the 'botched handling' of the affair as leading members of the LibDems Black and Ethnic Minority Forum expressed their dissatisfaction that issues of race remain in society.
Indeed, Duwayne Brooks, who was present when his friend the teenage Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a brutal racist attack and subsequently became a LibDem councillor in Lewisham, suggested he would reconsider his own membership if the party were found to support people who exhibit unapologetic racist behaviour.
Simon Woolley at ethnic minority campaigning organisation Operation Black Vote uses the incident to complain about the lack of progress on diversity, quoting senior LibDem Cllr Lester Holloway, but is clearly influenced by the more extreme reaction from PS. Simon finds it difficult to believe no offence was intended, arguing somewhat strongly, "It is incredible how local parties refuse to effectively deal with these simple matters."
Local Green Party chairperson, Adrian Windisch, also tips his hat to PS, repeating a succession of sensationalised points before concluding, "we may have reached the point where the handling is as damaging as the original remark," before going on to praise the bravery of Cllr Swaine for his apology.
Meanwhile praise is also forthcoming from the other side of the political spectrum, this time from Conservative Cllr Isobel Ballsdon. As she explains,
"Reading's Labour Group would really like Cllr Warren Swaine to shut up... Time after time they've made complaints about him and tried to discredit him. More fool them.""Why?" she asks, "because he keeps on embarrassing them [...] with what he digs up."
On his own blog Cllr Swaine continues his barrage of attacks against Labour, this time at their "use [of] the local Standards Board as an instrument of suppression and oppression."
He fired back,
"Over the last year there has been a string of referrals about me from Labour councillors, union officials and their election candidates where I have exposed their hypocrisy, double standards, bare-faced lies and borderline illegality. These referrals have been made with only one aim - to shut me up."Warren describes that this is a deliberate tactic on their behalf as the boards are required not only to consider the seriousness of a complaint, but also the volume of complaints made against an individual - something which incentivises frivolous time-wasting and gross exaggeration.
It sounds like there may be more to come!
Oranjepan says:
This story has been a journalistic jackpot - an incendiary indiscretion by a local public figure highlighting the increasing relevance of social media to political debate which handily required no further background checks and snowballed interactively into a campaigning issue as various vested interest groups were mobilised.
But perhaps the most unfortunate aspect of this tale was Cllr Swaine's apparent ignorance or indifference towards the man he was criticising and which allowed his usual fearlessness to spill over into recklessness: Chuka Umunna MP has been touted in a variety of corners as a future leader of his party, and therefore potentially the first coloured Prime Minister of this country - which would undoubtedly provide him with an army of vocal defenders prepared to strike out at the merest slight.
Interestingly the saga bears comparison with a much more serious recent incident relating to three Newbury Town Councillors.

By Siddhartha S
I have intentionally added the word 'published' to the title of this article. I wish for all the aspiring authors to not only write but also get published. As a published author, I often get asked how to be an author so I take this opportunity to share everything I learned about publishing over the last decade. I believe writing is one of the easiest ways to stay in touch with your creative faculties. Even as I write these lines, I am excited because I have no ideas of the words which will follow. A published book is the best example that the intangible becomes tangible if you are willing to invest time.
Believe that you can be an author: Writing a book is definitely a long term effort. No matter how much impressive they sound but never sign up for workshops that offer to make you a published author in a month. Try to deliver a baby in month and chances are high it will be healthy of fully developed. There might be few exceptions but generally I believe that it takes a minimum of one year to write a good book. Read more

4 Ways To Determine If A Deva Cut Is Perfect For Your Natural Hair
So, I'm sure by now most of you have heard of a Deva Cut, right? But what some of you may not know is that the Deva Cut isn't necessarily a hairstyle; it's actually a method of cutting hair dry while it's in its naturally curly, coily and wavy state.
READ: 10 Things Professional Hairstylists Want You To Stop Doing To Your Hair
The trademarked cutting technique was created by Lorraine Massey, a New York salon co-owner and author of "Curly Girl."According to professional natural hairstylist Aelesie J., "the technique accounts for a curl's stretch factor (we call it shrinkage) when creating a customized shape for a client." Each curl is cut individually to preserve the curl pattern.
Now that you have a clear understanding, let's talk about what makes you an ideal candidate for the Deva Cut.
1. You love rocking your curls, coils and waves.
Those of you who enjoy a good wash and go are ideal candidates for the Deva Cut. The Deva Cut highlights and showcases your multi-textured hair by giving it the life and the lift it needs.
READ: 9 Reasons To Detox Your Curls In 2016
2. You would love to add more shape to your hair.
If you constantly find yourself lifting and fluffing your hair to go up, it's time you booked yourself an appointment. No matter how much fluffing and lifting you do your hair will never get that look you are dying to have without having that special Deva Cut treatment.

Yoga as been defined as "union with the divine" and is used in many religions as a way to connect with God and gain peace. In health communities, it has been known to promote flexibility and balance. Read on for eight reasons to start practicing yoga today.
- Flexibility: The most obvious benefit of yoga is increased flexibility. You may not be able to touch your toes during the first session but with consistent sessions the muscles begin to lengthen and you will be able to touch them in no time.
- Relieves Pain: As the muscles begin to loosen, aches and pain will disappear. Tight hips affect the knees and tight hamstring muscles create lower back pain. Studies show that two 90 minute sessions of yoga a week reduce soreness by 56 percent. Read more in The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health
- Happy Hour: Yoga can reduce cortisol levels and increases GBA levels, both chemicals in the brain. It may not sound like much but low levels of GBA and high levels of cortisol are linked to depression. Yoga also increases serotonin levels and produces endorphins.
- Strength Test: Yoga not only builds strength but it does so while increasing flexibility. When you lift weights your muscles shorten and lengthen as they contract. During yoga, you hold up your own body weight and the muscles experience an isometric contraction (they do not lengthen or shorten). This type of muscle contraction is similar to what a ballet dancer experiences and creates longer and leaner muscles.
- Anywhere, Anytime: Yoga doesn't require any special equipment to participate. Yoga mats are suggested and prevent slipping but aren't necessary. I recommend the Giaim Yoga Mat . Take your mat and head to the beach, park, or enjoy yoga in your living room.
- Hotter Sex: You may not have thought of better sex as one of yogas benefits but exercise is linked to increased libido. Yoga helps to reduce anxiety and increase awareness with ones body, it even speeds the release of hormones that ignites arousal. Read more in this book called Better Sex Through Yoga.
- Joint Help: As your practice yoga, your body moves its joints through its entire range of motion. This action helps to lubricate your joints and prevent arthritis.
- Body Confidence: Studies show that women who practice yoga report higher confidence levels then women who do aerobics alone even when their weight was similar. This benefit can be associated to the fact the yoga helps you focus on what your body can do and not what it looks like.
"For me, yoga is not just a workout – it's about working on yourself." ~ Mary Glover
Begin your path to mental, spiritual, physical, and sexual health with this yoga sequence. Get out your Yoga Mat and hold each pose as best you can for 10 sec. Increase the time you hold a pose as your strength and balance increase. A good thick Yoga Mat will be best for anyone as some poses might be hard on the joints.

US (dir. Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton)
Cast: Cassidy Freeman, Anessa Ramsey and Laura Heisler
Synopsis: 1940: the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked up a winding mountain trail, leaving everything behind. 2008: the first official expedition into the wilderness attempts to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar.
Review: "YellowBrickRoad" is a dark, bleak, existential horror film of the David Lynchian variety. It shares much in common with the similarly themed "Blair Witch Project", but it does not take the found footage approach – though I'm sure that idea was knocked around a few times before it was (thankfully) decided against. The pacing is maddeningly reserved. Long stretches of time in which there is little to no action precede instances of extreme, graphic and unexpected violence. Though the cast is mainly composed of relative unknowns who count this film as their big screen debut, each and every performance is quite remarkable for a group of actors who have previously only played bit-part television roles. Best of all, no one stoops so low as to deliver the cliched "we're not in Kansas anymore" line and it is mercifully absent from all the movie posters I've seen for this film.

Boom Boom's movie on city to premiere in Cleveland
Boom Boom's movie on city — warts and all — to premiere in Cleveland
Actor and Youngstown native Ed O'Neill shares insights into his hometown in a scene from "Youngstown: Still Standing."
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini lends direction during a shooting session in May of 2008 at the Youngstown Club, where the filmmaking team interviewed residents.
If you go...
What: "Youngstown: Still Standing"
When: 2:10 p.m. March 24; and 9:30 p.m. March 25
Where: The Cleveland International Film Festival, Tower City Cinemas, Tower City, downtown Cleveland
Tickets: Go on sale to the general public at 11 a.m. March 5. An exclusive pre-sale for CIFF members only begins at 11 a.m. Friday. To become a member, go to clevelandfilm.org or call (216) 623-3456. Membership levels begin at $25.
A documentary film about Youngstown produced by former boxing champion and hometown hero Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini will get its world premiere March 24-25 at the Cleveland International Film Festival.
"Youngstown: Still Standing" features interviews with local leaders and narration by two favorite sons: actor Ed O'Neill and cartoon voice specialist Jim Cummings. It was shot in Youngstown in 2008 and 2009.
"I am so proud of it," said Mancini. "It is as good as it can get. I don't think anybody could do any better. It is historical, informative and entertaining."
John Chechitelli, an Austintown native now working as an actor/cinematographer in Hollywood, is the director. Chechitelli and New York filmmaker Sam Kass captured the footage, which largely consists of interviews of city leaders, authorities and long-time residents.
The 89-minute film takes a warts-and-all look at Youngstown, but in a manner that reveals fondness and appreciation for the city. Experts from Youngstown State University, political leaders and others describe the city's history, offer insight and give first-person remembrances. The result is a portrait of the city's colorful past, its present condition, and its future direction.
"Still Standing" also exposes the elements that contributed to Youngstown's decline, including organized crime and the decline of the steel industry.
Mahoning Valley rock musicians, or those with local roots, including The Zou and Poobah, created the film soundtrack.
"It is totally a Youngstown production," said Mancini.
At this time, no local screenings are planned, although Mancini said he is trying to schedule one. A private screening for those involved in the film will be held in Youngstown March 23, but a location has not yet been set.
Mancini is working on distribution deals, and is shopping the documentary to several cable television networks and to PBS stations. DVDs of the film will be available at the Cleveland film festival and will become available by phone order in the near future.
The project hit a speed bump when Kass stepped down as director shortly after the crew's first trip to Youngstown in the summer of 2008. But without missing a beat, Chechitelli took over.
"Taking over in the middle of the game was difficult, but directing has always been my aspiration and I'm just thankful that Ray [Mancini] and our executive producer Jim Napoli allowed me to fill that role," said Chechitelli. "Up until that point, I had only directed short films and commercials, so to make my feature debut with this project was great."
Mancini and Chechitelli, both of whom live in Los Angeles, returned to Youngstown several times to shoot more footage. "After that I spent countless hours in the editing room trying to shape everything into a cohesive story," said Chechitelli.
The result, he added, is "a look at a unique American city that has been through a heck of a fight, as told through the perspective of people who grew up there."
Mancini credited Chechitelli for giving the film its shape and quality.
"We did 10 edits, and John kept saying 'no, no, no'," said Mancini. "I would tell him to put this in or take this out, but there was still something missing. John, to his credit, knew that we needed a voiceover to narrate it. He got Jim Cummings, and it came alive. And we got Ed O'Neill, who leads us in to the different chapters. That took it to another level."
Cummings is a voice actor who has brought to life more than a dozen animated cartoon characters, including both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger from The Disney Channel's "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" show. He has also lent his voice to a variety of Warner Bros. cartoons, including the characters Darkwing Duck and Taz the Tasmanian Devil, and has done work for the cartoons "Batman," "Pinky and the Brain" and "Animaniacs." His latest project was the voice of Ray the Cajun Firefly in Disney's acclaimed animated movie, "The Princess and the Frog," which was released last year.
O'Neill's career has reached a new peak with his lead role in the ABC sitcom "Modern Family," a critical and popular favorite. He also played Al Bundy in the landmark Fox sitcom "Married With Children."
Both Cummings and O'Neill are Ursuline High School graduates.

I used the size guide to purchase a pair of knee length skins for my son and athough he was within the guide parameter, they were too tight and he is unable to wear them.
My athletically built 10 yo kids were somewhere in between sizes (taller for their given weights according to the skins size chart). We went with the smaller size which proved ok for now, if a bit short in the leg, so, not much support for the thighs.
Great product, although quality is just not the same as it used to be. Product wears very quickly.
As expected, you get what you pay for. Last pair lasted so well my son grew out of them, only had to buy new ones to get bigger size! Last pair being handed down to little brother. Definitely worth the extra $$.

Purchased for a ten year old cricketer who loves them. He has no issues putting his thigh guard on while wearing them. They also provide a bit more confidence and protection against the faster bowlers.
Bought these for my 13yr old daughter to aid her in her recovery after picking up a groin strain at football. She loves them, and the fit is spot on.
The size guide did not cover her height, she's 5ft 5" (165cm), but weighs 105lb (48kg), so as she's quite slim I chose LARGE Youth. Perfect.

Acquire micro-trajectories for driver behavior research
This is a specialized research application for 1-hertz TLAP (see description under TLAP Model Calibration), with special attention paid to measuring accurate second-by-second speed and lane changes, following distances, and gap acceptances for making turns across traffic or merging into new lanes. While imaging, a premium is placed on maximizing camera verticality, using higher-resolution lens-camera combinations across smaller coverage areas, and applying vehicle position tags with precision. This allows micro-movements of vehicles to be calculated, for greater understanding of driver behaviors while negotiating, say, freeway weaving or ramp merging sections, unusual signalized intersections, alternative-design facilities such as diverging diamond interchanges or modern roundabouts, transit buses that stop repeatedly on city arterials, highway links with narrow lane configurations, or while traveling along heavily-used two-lane highways.

Cherry Avenue Bridge
The Cherry Avenue Bridge (North Avenue railroad bridge, or Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, Bridge No. Z-2) is an asymmetric bob-tail swing bridge in Chicago, Illinois that carries the Chicago Terminal Railroad, pedestrians, and cyclists across the North Branch Canal of the Chicago River. It was constructed in 1901–02 by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, and it is a rare example of this type of bridge; it was designated a Chicago Landmark on December 12, 2007.[2]

Cherry Avenue bridge is located at 41°54′37.1″N 87°39′19.9″W / 41.910306°N 87.655528°W; it runs in a north-south orientation, spanning the North Branch Canal of the Chicago River to provide railroad access to Goose Island, an industrial area in the Near North Side community area of Chicago. The railroad track across the bridge is a spur line of the Chicago Terminal Railroad, that branches off from the route of the Union Pacific mainline about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north-west of the bridge. The railroad continues for about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south on Goose Island. North Avenue (Illinois Route 64) runs east-west at the north end of the bridge, crossing the North Avenue Bridge over the north branch of the Chicago River about 300 feet (91 m) to the west.
Goose Island is a man-made island on the north branch of the Chicago River that was formed in the 1850s by the digging of the North Branch Canal.[3] In 1871 the Chicago and Pacific Railroad started construction of a railroad from Goose Island through Elgin, Illinois to Byron, Illinois.[4] This company was absorbed into the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway in 1880.[5] The Cherry Avenue bridge was constructed in 1901–02[1] by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to replace a 20-year-old bridge on the same location.[6] It spans the North Branch Canal of the Chicago River providing the only railroad access to Goose Island.[7]
Railroad operation on Goose Island was taken over by the Soo Line Railroad in 1986, and then by the Chicago Terminal Railroad in January 2007. The bridge was purchased by the City of Chicago in 2008,[8] and restored in 2008–09 adding new decking and lights to enable safe pedestrian access.[9]
The bridge is one of two bob-tail swing bridges constructed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway on the North Branch of the Chicago River.[10] The bridge runs north-south, the pivot pier is on the shore on the north side of the channel with a 134.5-foot (41.0 m) long, 40-foot (12 m) heigh Pratt truss arm that spans the channel, and a 70-foot (21 m) arm that carries the 280,000-pound (130,000 kg) counter-weight 20 feet (6.1 m) above the tracks.[1][6] The bridge is no longer operable, but when constructed it was able to swing to the east, to an angle of 82.5˚ when parallel to the dock wall.[1] The bridge was designed to carry a single railroad track, but also may originally have been intended for use by other vehicular traffic on Cherry Avenue.[1] A sidewalk is cantilevered from the east side of the bridge.

Jungled (2014)84inch UHD Screen, Multi-point touch overlay, Custom Electronics and Software, 3d Sensor, Control Panel, Computer, Blackened Aluminium, Blackened Steel, Infrared Acrylic
edition of 8 + 2AP + 2P
Exclusively available through Priveekollektie Contemporary Art | Design
Jungled expands upon the artist's previous interactive environment found in the "Deep Blue" interactive aquarium, but this time with the focus on investigating the mesmerising beauty of a slice of re-imagined jungle. At first all might appear to be normal, perhaps even video of a jungle. But as the viewer becomes drawn into the piece, their movements and interactions begin to directly play with the presented environment as it begins to reveal previously hidden details.
The artwork is presented on a human scaled screen at a razor sharp 4K resolution, and embodies some of the most cutting edge graphics and programming to seamlessly create this surreal immersive artwork.

You'll be bitten by this bug and then you'll have to upgrade. Fortunately the upgrade (Holga 120GN) is only $50 and it amounts to a glass "optical lens". Fancy.

I've been a Holga user (Holgagrapher?) for several years now; I bet you'll soon sell off all your usless gear and will shoot everything with your Holga. :-) Seriously, the Holga is a blast to use as long as you keep that price in mind when you view the results. But do yourself a favor and use 400 speed B&W film -- that lens is seriously slow and needs all the help it can get. I process my film in Diafine (3 minutes in each solution) and get great results. Good luck.

I loves me some Holga Action! They're all over my blog. I have more than I want to say here, but, I just got the yellow and grey for $25 each from your link. They're going to be shelf queens. Much like the Japanese Leica collectors that never even break the tape on the boxes!
Randy at Holgamods.com is a Holga wizard, and I'd definitely recommend getting them from him. Very cool guy too! He's on FB too as Randy Holgamods Smith.

Good for you! I applaud your open-mindedness in trying the Holga. It's not for everyone but sometimes you need to strip away the technical nonsense and remember the joy of photography. I've been really enjoying the combo of a holga lens on my image-stabilized OM-D. Ridiculous? Probably, but I'm having too much fun to care.

Is this one of the later models where the sunny/cloudy switch actually works?
In a masterpiece of design, the little arm that brings in the smaller hole for the 'Sunny' setting is placed behind a plate which has an even smaller hole in it.
I gather that got fixed in later models, which at least gave you a bit of control even if it's only 'Sunny/Cloudy'!

It's really fun to use a holga for experimenting with long exposures in low light (hand held as well as tripod mounted), multiple exposures, "in camera" panoramic shots (by not turning all the way to the next frame), different films, cross processing, mistakes (happy accidents) and probably other stuff I haven't thought of. It's funny, I thought I would really be able to experiment once I got into digital photography, which I have, but I feel like my holga has opened up my mind and heart much more to experimenting and inspiration than anything else. Go crazy!

My Xmas photo present to myself this year was a matching set of aluminum gallery frames and mats. If you want to be an artist, make art. This means matted prints in frames, on a wall, preferably with good lighting. It's not art until it is on a wall, in your living room or hallway for example. Try it -- you'll see what I mean. This is far more inspirational to me than any photo gear. Change the prints every three months. Best $300 you ever spent. I suggest the Framatic Fineline series for a good balance between quality and price. Good discounts at misterart.com.

Decided to try the whole Holga and pinhole thing several years ago. I couldn't get into it. Neither practice worked for me. The Holga pictures weren't soft and crappy enough...the pinhole pictures were totally soft and crappy. I could do better looking funky pictures in the darkroom by kicking the enlarger during exposure through a layer of nylon panty hose.
I do have a very pretty wooden pinhole camera left over from the experiment. It looks real nice displayed on a shelf in the den.

Walter White Raps About Breaking Bad on Robot Chicken
Source: www.youtube.com / Via: www.youtube.com
Everyone misses Breaking Bad. Better Call Saul just isn't the same, and even the slightest rumor of a Breaking Bad return sends the internet into a frenzy. So of course fan creations paying homage to the beloved show are still coming at us, and this music video from Robot Chicken featuring a rapping Walter White may just be the best one yet. Hopefully if the show ever does return, they'll consider this for the theme song.

Stick it
I guess there are worse things to be stuck on... chicken does have oodles of protein: chicken breast, 3.5 oz - 30 g protein, so it's not only a weight loss surgery friendly meal (can't go wrong with meat on a stick) but chicken is a pretty pocketbook friendly $ meal too (always a good thing) and it's super simple to make.
Shelly's Thai Chicken Skewers
7 Chicken Breast Tenders, defrosted
1 Tablespoon Curry Paste (I use this)
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
Place the chicken in a gallon Ziploc bag with the curry paste (the one I use is a delicious mild, curry flavor but no heat) & soy sauce.
Close bag tightly. Massage till marinade has thoroughly coated the chicken pieces. Place in fridge and allow to marinate 1 hour.
Thread onto skewers.
BBQ for 10-12 minutes or so till chicken is done.
Serve with a dollop of Shelly's Cool Yogurt Dip
3 oz. Fage Greek Yogurt (I use 2%, plain)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon Garlic, minced
Kosher Salt to taste
Mix together till well combined.
I love to serve these with a side of Madras Lentils which have a mild spice, not hot hot just nice mouth glow heat. They go perfectly with the cool yogurt sauce and makes a perfect dipping combo for the skewers. I get them at Costco. Here's an online source. They heat up in the microwave in 90 seconds.
These are also great for parties, prepped ahead, BBQ'd quickly, portable & fun.
Why is it food always tastes better on a stick?
Shelly's Antipasto Skewers
Shelly's Scampi Skewers
Shelly's Caprese Skewers
Shelly's Orange Pineapple Mini Meatball Skewers

Shelly's Greek Chicken Kabobs

I'm three months post-op and took my son to our favorite Thai restaurant a few weeks ago. I ordered the chicken satay appetizer, which I love. I only managed to eat one before I was so full I couldn't eat another bite.
I'm having a hard time getting in enough protein since I get full so fast. Also, even though I make smoothies with a protein powder that doesn't taste like monkey's behind, I seem to never finish the whole thing. Suggestions?

Hi Shelley! So, hubby and I are planning a trip to your town May 21 thru 24th! :) Is there a restaurant you could recommend for us? We were meeting friends at Ponte Vineyard's restaurant, but that fell through, and thank goodness cuz I didn't see *anything* on the menu for me! We like seafood and hubby is a big steak man. We are going to see those bull riders (PBR) at Pala! Can't wait! Please email me if you can....email@example.com
Thanks again!

Michelle, love all your recipes, but would really love to see them set up in a user friendly way. Wading through all of them takes alot of time. Categories like casseroles, pancakes, meats, vegetables, etc. would be great. Also a list of all the shops you purchase your food items from and all those fancy gadgets you use and where you purchased them from. I know, I know I am asking for alot. Its just you are such a talented cook and spending more time fixing your fabulous recipes would be better than searching through so many to find what your looking for. You need to start a website or as I have heard someone else mention a cookbook with all this info. Love ya and your recipes. Thanks for all your hard work in helping us with our continued weight loss!

Chile judge indicts 13 retired military officers for 1973 death squad tour
[JURIST] Chilean Judge Victor Montiglio on Tuesday announced indictments and ordered the arrests of 13 retired Chilean military officers accused of directly participating in the Caravan of Death [BBC backgrounder], one of the most notorious events during the reign of former dictator Augusto Pinochet [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. The Caravan of Death occurred in the month following Pinochet's Semptember 1973 coup. In that month, a group of military officers toured various provinces throughout Chile, killing those who opposed Pinochet's rule. In the end, military officers killed as many as 75 dissidents, many of whom had turned themselves in to authorities. The officers indicted on Tuesday are accused of serving in military regiments visited by the group of officers and of participating in executions and burials of dissidents.
In January, an appeals court in Chile also cleared the way [JURIST report] for prosecutors to charge Pinochet for his role in the Caravan of Death. Pinochet is also accused of corruption and tax evasion [JURIST reports], and in another January ruling an appeals court ruled that he was competent to stand trial for his role in the 1975 Operation Columbo [JURIST report] massacre. AP has more. From Santiago, Jorge Escalante of La Nacion has more.

I am very fortunate. I am in business with my
sisters who are my best friends.
My job is to be creative
and design. I know that this is what I was born
to do. I think that is rare. So many people are
searching for what it is that makes them happy,
brings joy a sense of peace but is also exciting and rewarding.
Bunnies By The Bay has fulfilled that.
And yet there is more, and that is what
we do at Hutch Studio. What I create there with my
amazing co-creator Chris is so fun and exciting I pinch myself
when I think of how much fun it is.
Here is what I am working on today....
A cardboard frame for our show booths.
New product for Spring.
A picture for our show booth.
Bunny pillows
And that is all in between meetings and
chit chat of course.
Have a great weekend. And I hope my girls have fun at the show
this weekend...Please visit and buy something HANDMADE.
I won't be there but all my art will be.

Rotherham's Foundry Retail Park has been given a facelift by a team of specialist architects.
The Harris Partnership has completed the refurbishment of the park, on the borough's Great Eastern Way, for site owner UBS Global Asset Management.
The architects said they took inspiration from the designs for the park's stand-alone sofa store, CSL. The result is a new complementary look for all the occupiers of the neighboring retail terrace:
Project leader Darren Till said: "It was important that the refurbishment did not impact on trading tenants while allowing full unhindered access to the customers visiting the stores.
"We managed the process very carefully without sacrificing any design integrity, and the result is a very modern park that has been made even more attractive to potential new tenants and customers alike."

After Life of Pi, Ang Lee to direct Long Halftime Walk
The story of the film centres on a 19-year-old soldier Billy Lynn who survive a battle in Iraq that is captured by embedded news cameras, making him a hero.hollywood Updated: Sep 19, 2014 15:15 IST
Life of Pi helmer
has found his next directorial vehicle in the adaptation of Ben Fountain's satirical novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.
Lee is reuniting with Tom Rothman for his TriStar Productions and Film4 for the project.
The story of the film centres on a 19-year-old soldier Billy Lynn who survive a battle in Iraq that is captured by embedded news cameras, making him a hero. Back home in the US, he embarks on a promotional tour that culminates at the halftime show of a Thanksgiving Day football game in Texas before they are returned to the war, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The film will mark Rothman and Lee's fifth collaboration. They worked together on The Wedding Banquet when Rothman was with Sam Goldwyn Films. Their most recent venture Life of Pi, an India-set drama about a boy adrift in the ocean with a Bengal tiger, grossed $600 million at the worldwide box office.
"I've had a relationship with Ang for 25 years. He's easily turned down 100 movies since Pi. But that's where patience and persistence come into play," Rothman said.
The film will be produced by Lee, Ink Factory's Stephen Cornwell, Rhodri Thomas and Simon Cornwell and by Film4, which originally optioned the book.
Slumdog Millionaire scriptwriter Simon Beaufoy penned the script of this film.
"I am very excited to be going back to work and to be collaborating with my old friend Tom Rothman. The most important thing to me is storytelling, and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is a story that immediately gripped me. I look forward to starting the creative process with this extraordinary team of collaborators," Lee said.

Jamison Long's Seaquest:
Jamie started with the Revel Seaquest Kit (No longer in production), All paints used were Model Masters Acryl line. In order to reproduce the skin design that is evident in the origional television show Jamison decided to use a base coat of French Blue (No. 4659). Once this had dried he used a dry brusing to catch only the raised portions of the skin pattern that were etched into the Model. The Dry Brusing was with Dark Sea Blue (No. 4686). He then went back over many of the Raised details, and brought them to place with the Dark Sea Blue. Only the Door seperation Lines in the docking setion of the SeaQuest were highlighted with chrome silver.
