Wrestlemania 30 In My Future/Little Tips/Advice
Well hello everyone! Yes after like 2 weeks I am back with another post. This post is about WRESTLEMANIA 29 and future?
I will also talk my adventure at Mania. Well I didnt go to HOF or Axxess. But that is for later on in the blog. But anyways. I arrived there Saturday like at 11am EST. So I didnt get out of the airport and to the hotel I would say about noon maybe 1pm at the hotel. Checked in great room. So then I just relaxed. So then I went to New York. I took the train and such. So HOF just started. Literally underneath MSG! So I got a pic of the sign and such. So then I just walked around in the freezing cold and saw the TIP of the Empire State Building and it was blue and yellow. It was cool. So then I ate some Subway then walked back to the train and then went back to my hotel. So then next day WRESTLEMANIA DAY! I was nervous since it was my first Mania and such. So I leave with my ticket with my friend and we go to Met Life. I just wanted to see one thing besides Mania, and that was the Superstore. So I was waiting from like Noon/1pm EST til 5pm EST to get INSIDE the gates. So then I RUN to the store and security ugh it was just terrible. They were letting in very little people so I was waiting to get in for like half a hour. They did not want us to just "walk in" so we had to stand in a line. BUT security didnt care. People who weren't in the in line went in and security didnt do a single thing! But anyways I finally got in and just WOW. I hope WWE does this next year because it was just WOW. One thing I promised my self I was getting was a Cesaro shirt. I go up and ask where are they and I am told they are SOLD OUT I was like WHAT?! But then I was soon thinking well you cant say he doesnt have fans. But anyways when I was waiting I could hear them practicing and stuff it was cool to hear it. I hear Diddy and Living Colour. So but now MAIN SHOW.
Wrestlemania is just wow. When its like minutes away you from airing around the world you are just like WOW, I am here.....I am ACTUALLY at Wrestlemania! I have been to a PPV before but no offense but it wasnt one of the BIG 4 PPVs. So it just wow. We were excited and such but when Ryback vs Mark Henry started we lost our momentum. I looked back on Youtube and the chant didnt make it but we were chanting BORING. Which it was but the ending was a shock we all thought Ryback was going to win since Vince is a BIG fan of Ryback so I was shocked when Mark won. Ok so we were just quiet is may have looked which at sometimes we were but during Jericho's entrance the arena just WOW it got the crowd pumped up. But when Fandango came out I was Fandangoing BEFORE it was COOL. No one will not believe me but I did! So anyways when the tag team title match came on The crowd just was PRO Ziggler. I dont think there was a reaction really for Team Hell NO! So it most likely looked like we were quiet on tv which is kinda true. Anyways so its ADR vs Swagger we started WE WANT ZIGGLER chants. And plus we were bored. No doubt it was a good match but it just cant compete with Eddie vs Angle at Mania 20. This feud is based on the feud, but WWE stop now. Not the Angle wanna be and well ADR will ever come close to that feud. Anyways were pretty pissed off when ADR left and Ziggler didnt come out. It didnt come out at all since WWE was showing a advertisement but the arena was just filled with boos. So the match everyone is/was talking about CM Punk vs Undertaker. It was just a WOW match. We were very into the match. It was just so surreal. But when Living Colour performed I was going you know jamming out to the live performance and it was just fun. Everyone loved that entrance for Punk. But now there was ONE man we waited for and that mans name is......................UNDERTAKER. It was just wow seeing him come out. It was so surreal for me it was just made me realize I am witnessing HISTORY and it was awesome seeing Taker wrestle. He looks like he hasnt missed a day in the ring IMO. But it was just awesome. My section was PRO Punk AND Pro Taker. People rows above me were PRO Taker and rows below me were PRO Punk, I was in the middle so I cheered for both :P. But anyways when Undertaker won you knew everybody was happy. I just wish WWE had given them 30 minutes or hell 40 minutes. It was just a WOW match. That right there was MATCH of the NIGHT. Lesnar vs Triple H didnt do really anything for me. The crowd seemed to be semi interested. Only good thing Heyman and HBK. I was happy since HBK was there. I came from Texas to see him and also well my admin name is HBKG :P, But next the match NO ONE well maybe some but really NO ONE wanted to see Rock vs Cena. I missed most of it. I was at the merch stands to get a hat. Then freaking escalators were ONLY going down. So there I am walking up like 4 flights of stares just to get to my section. I was tired and I was like I am not doing that again for tonight. So I just watched maybe the last 10-15 min of the match. Which was Ok. Fans were PISSED when Cena won. See WWE wanted to make Cena win but without upsetting the fans. Well WWE you did a HORRIBLE job at it. Then when Rock shook Cena's hand and such fans gotten even MORE PISSED. So then that was Mania.
Next up is my way back. Oh it was just crowded and just having the feeling like being cattle. I was like Chandler and said Moo. Anyways didnt get home until 2am flight was at noon. But got up 9am didnt really sleep well. So then went to my flight and such and just drove for 2 hours to get home. And no the nearest airport is not 2 hours away. It was cheaper. Nearest airport is about 10-15 minutes. Anyways that was journey. No I didnt go to HOF or Axxess. Well the day I wanted to do Axxess was sold out so I didnt go and HOF well it was sold out didnt find out they released some tickets until after I got there and by then they were probably gone. Anyways I really regret not getting RAW tickets but it was AWESOME crowd. So that was it. My Wrestlemania Trip. So was the crowd dead? Sometimes but not really. Did I enjoy the show? HELL YEAH! It wasnt the BEST WM it was just predictable good. But to answer your questions
Wrestlemania 30?
My answer is:
Pics of my trip coming
Until Next Time...... HBKG OUT.

Little pains
Posted June 26, 2009on:
And I just realized that it is
blessed to be able to feel those little pains in our lives – small
minor unhappiness that do not turn your life topsy-turvy, yet still
manage to affect you a little. It shows that my emotional nerves are
still sensitive – and this only means that there are no major wounds
that cause great pain there. For if there is great pain in my life, the
little ones wouldn't matter, they wouldn't even be felt at all.
I hope I am making myself understandable.
just like doing a school project. When it's almost done, you tweak it
here and there to make it perfect. You refine all the minor details.
But when it's totally undone and the deadline is near, all you want to
do is hand something up. And you don't really care how well 'something'
is done as long as you have something to hand up (reminds me of last
To be able to care about little details, even the negative
ones, is a blessing indeed. It means you've got the greater things all
covered. And when you look back after some time, you realize that it is
the big things that really matter.
Learning to thank God for
little pains and aches (even those inflicted on myself by me, which
hurt the most). And learning the cherish this time too, where all still
counts as bliss, and God's blessings come in the form of abundance and
Usually things like this should appear in my diary
and not in my blog. But alas, I have yet to unpack my diary. I miss my
diary! Yet unpacking it will clutter up my room much further, and it is
a sacrifice I have yet to be able to make. You see, even my printer is
not out yet.
Let's talk about happier things 🙂 Worship
practice! Went there today with Alicia, Andrew and Jon. It was fun. I
get to know more of the Youth now in the second practice, and though
we're a bit like oil and water, I think they are very sociable and fun.
I love the songs. And I realize there's really a lot of good singers
among the Youth too.
That's all of today's entry I think. I wish I could write more, but my ability to express hasn't really been back yet.

We all have \'pains\' we have to carry through lifeLook at the Apostle Paul ~ with the \'Thorn in the side\'
🙂 Mine is not the serious kind haha. I thought Paul\'s thorn was a weakness instead of pain?
A weakness that made him strongGod uses our weakness to show his strength

New Delhi: A day after India stunned Pakistan by carrying out "surgical strikes" on terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday chair the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meet here.
The officials will today discuss the situation in the wake of the "surgical strikes" that inflicted massive casualties and dramatically heightened tensions in the region, informed sources said.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh will also meet senior officials from both Home and the Defence.
Modi also chaired a CCS meeting to consider the situation along the LoC yesterday.
An unspecified number of terrorists and Pakistani troops were killed in the early Thursday operation across Kupwara and Poonch sectors as the Army moved Special Forces into Pakistan-held Kashmir, officials said.
Pakistan had, however, insisted that no "surgical strike" took place and that there were only firing and artillery shelling between the two armies across the LoC that killed two of its soldiers and left some others wounded. Pakistan threatened to repel any Indian attack. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called a cabinet meeting today.
Pakistani media said one Indian soldier, identified as Chandu Babulal Chohan, 22, from Maharashtra, had been captured and eight others had been killed.
Indian Army sources said one soldier inadvertently crossed over to Pakistan but denied he was part of the surgical strike. They insisted that the Indian military suffered no casualties.

Whenever people ask me why i date someone so much taller i reply "so she can reach stuff from the top shelves for me.
/u/meepermogle gave some pretty excellent advice; the fact that you're taller is largely irrelevant.
Not that i would feel weird simply by dating a taller girl, but i've come to realize i prefer short girls.
Gold[]theravenousrabbitmale -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago(1 child)most guys are interested in women who are taller than them.
I would date a woman for many reasons, not just because she was taller than me.
Is 6'4", dates women, and finds that a big height difference only makes things more hilariously interesting.
To go on even just one date with someone who falls outside of our eight-percent range, and to ask ourselves whether there's actually less chemistry there.
" i recently had one guy actually look over my head to see if the person he was meeting was someone else besides me.
Is it ok to date someone taller than you
Is It Weird To Date A Shorter Guy? (+ Taller Girls)
Is 6'2", dates men, and wants to feel less weird about a big height difference.
I know the perception of others does influence who i date, or even decide to hang out with, when in an ideal world it would just be about the connection i have with that person.
Gold[]lleshi12345 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago(0 children)i've never dated a girl talked than me, mainly because i'm 6'4".
Gold[]throesofdespair 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago(0 children)i've dated/fucked so many 5'6" guys.
In heels, i was a good three inches taller than him, and it felt so weird having this little guy kind of under my arm as we walked.
Gold[]abisuecosplayfemale 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago(1 child)i only recently got over this myself, i think back and realize i would have dated someone shorter but didn't get asked, now i know why!
Gold[]linkumsmale 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i haven't dated a taller girl yet, but i have a thing for multi-story tall giantesses, so i think i'd be fine with or even prefer dating someone taller than me.
As far as dating a woman taller than me, i'm definitely fine with it, but i'm also probably guilty of preemptively thinking i'm "too short" for a woman taller than me and not giving it a proper chance.
Is it weird to date someone taller than you
So, You're Taller Than Your Boyfriend
Gold[]bicameral_mind 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i'm 6'4" so it's nice dating someone of similar stature.
I'm not one of those people who has to date someone tall, but i do notice that short guys have always sought me out because i'm shorter than them.
Ive had 5 counterparts in the past; one who was 4 inches taller than me, 2 have been my height and the other two were 5'9 amd 5'4 respectively and none of them ever commented on my height as a negative.
In one survey, about half of collegiate men required their date to be shorter, while a monstrous nine of every ten women said they would only date a taller man.
How would you like it if you were always asked about your bra size huh, and if i said i only like to date women with 34ds and up?
Gold[]i_a1m_to_misbehavemale 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago(0 children)i'm 6'0, so this perhaps isn't a big problem for me, but i was with a girl who was 5'9 who liked heels and ended up the same height as me - if not taller, because i like leaning on stuff.
Popularnow, in order for you, a shorter man*, to circumvent this bullshit and convince wonderful taller women to date you, you have to understand why women feel this way.
[]exit_sandman 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i have a soft spot for short girls and on top of that i'm less attracted to women taller than i am.
Having A Tall Girlfriend | Anwar Jibawi
Though in fairness, when i see someone write something like that, i immediately lose attraction to their personality anyway.
Is 5'11", dates men, and finds it attractive when shorter guys are confident enough to be interested.
Men should date women who are taller than they are, and women should date shorter men.
I'd rather date a guy who says he's five feet tall and is honest than someone who's trying (unsuccessfully) to cover something up.
Gold[]45585486888 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i've never actually dated a girl taller than me but i did hit on a girl who turned out to be taller (it's hard to tell when you're sitting).
The sex was a little weird at times, and you get the occasional douche who points out the obvious that your girl friend is taller than you lol.
Gold[]yudothesethings 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i had maybe one conversation with my girlfriend where we just acknowledged that she's taller than me and that it doesn't bother either of us.

When you date a girl taller than you
The booties had about a two-inch heel on them, and i was taller than him when we met up.
He actually was a couple inches taller than me, but the question caught me off guard.
Or guys can also be completely dismissive once they see me in person and say, "you seem much taller in your photos" or "i didn't realize how short you were until you got off that stool.
The root cause of all that self-consciousness is that toxic masculinity garbage that makes us believe the taller you are, the "manlier" you are, and the better you are.
Is 5'5", dates mostly men, and finds her height is more of an advantage since transitioning.
He was cute, friendly, funny, and pretty much the ideal first-dance date candidate except for one thing: he was a couple inches shorter than me.
Overall, if i had to pick between staying shorter than average and being way taller, i'd stay the same.
Gold[]roastbeeftacohathe who waits behind the walls 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)i went out with a girl who was about a foot taller than me, i'm 6'2.
What to do When the Woman is Taller than You!
And yes, sometimes it can be awkward to kiss someone who is way, way taller than you, but its honestly cute having to stand on your tippy-toes.
" even if her height is part of her appeal, wait until fifth-date post-coital bliss to say how much you love it.
Is 6'8", dates women, and can learn a lot about people by the way they react to his height.
Gold[]fosiacat 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago(0 children)fwiw my grandpa was like 4'8 and my grandma was like almost a foot taller and they were married until he passed away a few years ago.
) "i wanted someone to overpower me, who could wrap his entire body around me in a hug, but who could also throw me down on a bed and ravish me," she writes.
I don't like wearing heels, but one time, i wore these heeled booties on a first date with a guy who said he was 5'5".
Even the girl in the arcade at the bowling alley, who, when 15-year-old me worked up the nerve to ask her out on date, answered, "you're too tall.
Ive also found women who made the first move, either by saying they like me or asking me out, have been much taller than me.
8 Struggles Of Having A Tall Boyfriend
Are your stories of dating taller women, both as a confidence boost and as warnings of what not to do?
Then by the end of the date, when you stand up, you'll know them as a person and not as their height.
In an ideal world, i would date men who are taller than me, but i am definitely not opposed to dating someone my height or a little bit shorter.
It just takes a little adjusting to someone tall, if you're used to dating short people, and vice versa.
Is 5'0", dates mostly men, and finds her small size to be an advantage in a traditional gender binary.
The only women i've met taller than me were cornfed, fat, country girls i wouldn't date anyways.
Gold[]mysecretpassphrase 14 points15 points16 points 1 year ago(0 children)as a relatively short guy (5'5") i have almost always dated taller girls.
Is 5'0", dates men, and isn't too short to notice when guys add a few inches on dating apps.

GARDENING should be mostly fun, however, weeding, pruning and trimming are not necessarily in that department. For this reason when planning a garden one should make sure there is very little to do regarding those shores, unless you are in top physical shape.
Miguel Yamin, is a neighbor five houses up the street. We met thanks to his interest in plants/gardening, even though at 90 there is not much gardening he can do. However, we have exchanged plants, back and forth.
A couple of days ago, I offered to organize the garden in front of the house, he accepted gladly, even after I emphasized that the pruning I had in mind will look somewhat odd in the beginning as it happens always when a messy installation is ordered.
I spent a couple of hours in the first act, the second will be done next week. Here a few photos of before and after, with a little reiterative declaration....Gardening should be an activity to enjoy, pleasurable and stimulating. Not like one of those blow/cut gardening jobs...always in a rush without any afterthought.
If any juan cares to know I would get rid of the horrendous Lagerstromia, in dead center of this space, ruining it in terms of perspective/focus, mutilated with a machete once or twice a year thanks to the electrical wires close by. I would rearrange the bushes, get rid of a couple of Ixoras and so forth.

Finding the Best Personal Development Coach.
All the individual who wants to make their power to be better off should consider employing personal trainer coach. The personal trainer coaches you in the year that you have best suited enabling you to further the talents that you have. The coach will help you to reach your goals and also to employ professional's strategies which you were not aware there before. Your motivation will be increased by having a personal trainer on your side which will also help you to reach your set goals. It is the dream of most of the people to achieve the set goals and to be motivated and that is the reason why they do hire a personal development coach. The a skill that most of the individuals do have will be exposed which will enable them to go public thus making use of the talents. To select the best type of the personal trainer you have to check for very many things.
The first and the simplest way to have a personal development coach is to search for one on the internet. You will be required to use the typical search engines, or you can search from the directories and type the word personal development. By just typing the particular keyword, the name of the person that you want will appear, and you can even choose the best. A research is required here to get the best personal development coach to provide training for you. Check the training that the person has and also the qualifications.
You can also decide to talk to them via the phone. Talking to the personal trainer directly over the phone will give you skills that the personal coach do possess. If they are good enough, you will become motivated to hire them. Hiring a person who is not much qualified for the particular job is not good. The the personal coach should be flexible enough so as to make you fell motivated to employ them. Most of the personal trainer will take much time The first thing that you should put in your mind is that the mode of the payments should be discussed before any issues. There are those coaches who overcharge the prices especially when they see that you are willing to pay any amount of money that they ask you. Check for the qualifications of the personal development trainer and other things that you need.
The the coach should be flexible and will be willing to work at the scheduled time without wasting much of their customer's time. Always check for the time any personal. The the client will be able to communicate well after a period. Hiring the best personal growth coach is very important in people's lives.Training Tips for The Average Joe

'When we have settled the land,' Rafael Eitan, then chief of staff of the Israeli Defence Force, said in 1983, 'all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.' Over twenty years later, the Palestinians are struggling to consolidate a genuinely representative Palestinian Interim Self-Governing Authority and to handle the huge economic and political challenges resulting from Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, while the Sharon government finishes cantonising the West Bank, and Gaza remains walled off. Unable to achieve even the agenda Israel has set for it, the Palestinian Authority is cut off physically and diplomatically at every turn. ... (more, LRB subscribers only)

The safety of our food system starts with farmers and ranchers and includes U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection and regulations, and the overall care from those who work in the many food stages of the food chain from farm
What is a Farm?
A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialized units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibers, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land.
to fork. USFRA believes that farmers and ranchers carefully follow guidelines and regulations set forth by the government. To read more about the FDA's food protection plan, click here.U.S. farmers and ranchers diligently contribute to the safety of food by following a number of guidelines and best management practices. For example, modern production practices have virtually eliminated some formerly common causes of human foodborne illness. Pathogens, such as Trichinella spiralis, once one of the most prominent pathogens, have largely disappeared with the movement of pigs to indoor housing. Other common foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella, and Toxoplasma also have been greatly reduced because of indoor management, especially when raising pigs. When raising cattle for beef, E coli illnesses have greatly decreased due to farmer and rancher investments in research and convening collaborate (vs. competitive) industry meetings, which have resulted in post-harvest safety and interventions and advancements in vaccines to eliminate the pathogen.
- Adequate and proper animal nutrition clearly plays an important role in ensuring animal health.
- Livestock farmers and ranchers use a variety of husbandry practices, housing strategies and biosecurity measures to decrease disease risk and promote animal health.
- As an example, maintaining animals on slatted or mesh floors, as is common in modern swine production and some poultry systems, decreases animal contact with manure and thus with fecal borne pathogens.
- Animal drinking water is kept clean to avoid contamination from potential disease carriers. In many situations, because of today's watering systems, pathogens can be avoided.
- Housing certain farm animals indoors can also provide advantages in managing many foodborne organisms.
- Other common practices used to prevent livestock disease include limiting contact between groups of animals having varying degrees of pathogen exposure.
- In 2009, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) conditionally approved the first vaccine to reduce E. coli O157:H7 in cattle, opening up its use for larger trials. Cattle farmers and ranchers invest in research to develop and validate safety interventions like the vaccine and consider any additional tools beneficial to their overall goal of improving safety.
- Cattle farmers and ranchers have been combating E. coli O157:H7 since the early 1990s. Mandatory processes, inspections and tests based on decades of experience and farmer-and rancher-funded research are in place in packing plants across the country. These post-harvest interventions, like lactic acid washes for cattle hides and carcasses, help ensure the safety of beef.
- Dairy farms and plants must meet stringent federal and local regulations, including those developed by the USDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and state regulatory agencies.
- Dairy plants are inspected multiple times a year by state agencies, the FDA and USDA.
Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST). 2012. The Direct Relationship between Animal Health and Food Safety Outcomes
Meat and poultry are rigorously monitored by law. Meat and poultry for human consumption must pass inspection and monitoring by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
FSIS has more than 7,600 inspectors and veterinarians working in plants with meat, poultry and egg products and at ports-of-entry every day to prevent, detect and respond to food safety issues. FSIS also has more than 100 employees across the U.S. who monitors meat, poultry and egg products at ports of entry, including docks, loading areas and refrigeration and storage areas.
According to Richard Raymond, the former undersecretary of agriculture for food safety, in an article on MeatingPlace.com, during the past 10 years, "foodborne illnesses numbers are down 20 percent even though the U.S. population increased by 10 percent. This makes the 20 percent reduction an even more significant accomplishment." As a result U.S. consumer risk of contracting a fatal foodborne illness is .001 percent – a number that farmers and rancher, in partnership with the entire food chain from farm to work, continually work to decrease. While some bacteria may be present on food at the time of purchasing, the most common vehicle of foodborne illness is raw food. Contamination can occur during growing, harvesting, processing, storing, shipping or final preparation. Sources of produce contamination are varied as these foods are grown in soil and can become contaminated during growth or through processing and distribution. Contamination may also occur during food preparation in a restaurant or a home kitchen. The most common form of contamination from handled foods is the calcivirus, also called the Norwalk-like virus.
Some keys to reducing contamination at home:
- Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before and after preparing food and after using the bathroom or changing diapers.
- Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
- Cook foods properly and at a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
- Refrigerate foods within two hours or less after cooking because cold temperatures will help keep harmful bacteria from growing and multiplying.
- Clean surfaces well before and after using them to prepare food.

4 ways to wipe stress away
AN APPLE A DAY By Tyrone M. Reyes, M.D.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
There's no way to avoid stress altogether — pressures and tensions are a normal part of everyday existence, more so during this holiday season. But repeated and prolonged stress can do damage to your mind and body. Learning to protect yourself from the effects of chronic stress may help you live a longer, healthier life.
The consequences of chronic stress can be serious. An extensive body of research suggests that long-term stress, with its flood of stress hormones, can increase risk for many physical disorders, including stroke, gastrointestinal problems, high levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol, sleep disturbance, immune suppression, impotence, asthma, and premature aging. Chronic stress, especially in people with high hostility levels, can lead to higher risk for insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the October 2006 issue of the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.
Long-term stress can cause cognitive and mood problems as well: confusion, poor concentration, poor memory, depression, anxiety, anger, and irritability. But research has shown that certain stress reduction techniques can effectively eliminate these problems, according to Herbert Benson, MD, director emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute (BHI) for Mind Body Medicine of Massachusetts General Hospital.
"The harmful effects of stress can be mitigated," says Dr. Benson. "You can do this on your own, simply by harnessing protective mechanisms that are part of the relaxation response — the physiological opposite of the stress response."
The relaxation response is a physical state of deep rest that changes your physical and emotional responses to stress. It decreases your metabolism, rate of breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, and relaxes your muscles. There are a number of ways to achieve the relaxation response. A generic technique taught at the BHI has two essential aspects — the repetition of a word, phrase, prayer, or sound; and disregarding of thoughts that come to mind, with a return to repetition.
The basic BHI relaxation response technique involves these simple steps:
• Pick a personal focus word, sound, prayer or short phrase — for example, "peace," "one," or "The Lord is my shepherd."
• Sit comfortably in a quiet place.
• Close your eyes.
• Progressively relax muscles from feet to neck.
• Breathe slowly and naturally, and as you do, say your focus word, sound phrase or prayer silently to yourself as you exhale.
• Assume a passive attitude and don't worry about how well you're doing. When other thoughts come to mind, simply say to yourself, "Oh well," and gently return to your repetition.
• Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. Time yourself by peeking occasionally at a watch or clock.
• When you are finished, continue sitting quietly for a minute or so, gradually allowing other thoughts to return. Then open your eyes and sit for another minute before rising.
• Practice the technique once or twice daily. Good times to do so are before breakfast and before dinner.
The relaxation response can also be brought about through the use of techniques other than the basic Benson-Henry Institute method, including those listed below. Choose the technique that is most effective — or combine two or three techniques if that works best for you.
• Progressive muscle relaxation. This technique involves concentrating on tightening and then relaxing your muscles to gradually achieve total relaxation. Sit or lie quietly in a comfortable position with your eyes closed and begin by inhaling as you tense the muscles of your face into a grimace, squeezing your eyes shut and clenching your teeth. Tense only the facial muscles, leaving the muscles in your neck, shoulders, and elsewhere in your body relaxed. After eight to 10 seconds, exhale and let your face go slack, feeling the relief from the tension. Now, inhale as you tense the muscles of your neck and shoulders, then exhale and relax.
Proceed in this way, alternately tensing and relaxing the muscles of your chest, abdomen, right arm and fist, left arm and fist, buttocks, right leg, left leg, right foot, and left foot. When you have finished the exercise, take time to enjoy how relaxed your muscles feel. Slowly open your eyes and stretch before rising.
• Breath focus. Sit or lie in a quiet, comfortable place. Take a normal breath, then — with your hand on your abdomen — take a deep breath, inhaling through your nose and feeling your abdomen expand fully. Feel how relaxed this deep breathing makes you feel. Now, close your eyes and inhale deeply to the count of 10 as your abdomen expands, then exhale slowly and completely to the count of 10. Focus on your breathing and counting, putting other thoughts out of your mind. Repeat the exercise, continuing for 10 to 20 minutes. When you are finished, slowly open your eyes. Rest quietly for a moment before rising.
• Guided imagery. Sit or lie comfortably in a quiet place. Close your eyes and relax, breathing deeply. Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful place far from the stresses of everyday life, in a setting where you feel completely relaxed and happy — for example, lying on a couch on a deserted beach, or sitting on the front porch of your grandparents' house. Put yourself completely into the scene. Feel the sand of the beach. Hear your grandparents' loving voice. Use all your senses to conjure up a vivid image. Spend 10 to 20 minutes immersed in this relaxing environment, then slowly count backwards from 20, feeling the peace and strength you have absorbed from your image. Open your eyes and lie quietly for a moment before resuming your normal activities.
"These techniques are very effective in reducing stress," says Dr. Benson, "and they work especially well when coupled with efforts to adjust your attitudes and reactions to challenges in a way that promotes resiliency. For example, working to eliminate negative attitudes and focus on positive outcomes — seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty — can help you strengthen your ability to cope with stress and rebound from it."
"Exercise, a healthy diet of nourishing low-fat foods, and weight control are other good ways to minimize the damaging effects of long-term stress, as can seeking the help of a mental-health professional if you cannot resolve stress on your own. Books, CDs, and tapes can help you master relaxation response techniques.
Of course, if anxiety or depression accompanies your stress, preventive measures include exercising regularly, getting adequate sleep, avoiding alcohol (for depression) and cutting back on coffee (for anxiety), and sharing your worries with your family, friends, or spiritual adviser. Talking about your troubles can diminish their impact.
For more information about relaxation response techniques, you may visit the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine website at http://www.mbi.org.
If you are all stressed out with only minutes to unwind, try this mini-relaxation exercise designed by experts at BHI. It can help you reduce tension and anxiety in short order:
• Inhale deeply as you begin to silently count backwards very slowly starting with the number 10.
• Exhale and inhale again on the count of nine and so on down to zero.
• Take one deep breath and exhale completely with each number.
• Slow down your counting if you start feeling light-headed or dizzy.
• If you're still tense at zero, repeat the exercise.
Yes, effective techniques such as muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, and guided imagery, can help you find relief from unhealthy stress.

The Avengers or I Waited 5 Years For This?
[Editor's Note: "Oh I'm gonna write about Steven Seagal" he said. "Give you an in-depth analysis of 'Above The Law' he promised. Horseshit! Obviously our resident idiot forgot he was going to see The Avengers on opening night or else he wouldn't have posted that last article promising everyone discussion of Steven Seagal's early work. Fuck, we here at Brave Blog still are trying to figure out why decided to choose that as a topic for 4 more articles. It is like he wants to torture you people! Be warned, the idiot put some minor spoilers in this!]
I really wanted to love The Avengers, I really did. I went into it with a fair amount of excitement and optimism as Marvel's track record on building The Avengers as a movie franchise has been pretty rock solid up to date. Alas, I just "liked" The Avengers, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but when all the movies building up to it have been at the least in the "Very Good" to "Excellent" range and your payoff movie is just "Good", well then there is a problem. Is it a major problem? Well, that all depends what your definition of "Major Problem" is.
The worst part of this movie is the dialogue. Having spent 35 of my 40 years on this planet reading comics and a good chunk of those comics being comics The Avengers star in, never have they ever been so snippy with each other. You want snark in The Avengers that's why you have Hawkeye in there, the one guy who usually always had the dissenting opinion. But when everyone not named Captain America is more determined to have the last word in an argument it leads to all the other characters delivering zingers for the first 2/3 of the film. That isn't real dialogue. That isn't a conversation or meaningful dialogue amongst a group of people. Yes, a chunk of the story for the movie revolves around how The Avengers can't get along to form a cohesive unit unless there is a major crisis but clashes of personality rarely manifest in a room full of people being perpetually sarcastic toward each other. One or two people sure, but everyone (again, save for Captain America) deciding they have to be as catty as Oscar Wilde is really kind of stupid.
This issue of dialogue shouldn't be too much of a problem really, but it is like that for 2/3rds of the movie. It really makes everyone seem very petty and vain and that is not what I want out of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes". It doesn't help at all that one of the main leads decides to mail in his performance. I've loved Robert Downey Jr. in both Iron Man and Iron Man 2. I always had issues with how it was written as "Ultimate" Tony Stark and not Marvel Universe Tony Stark, but our man Robert Downey Jr was just so damn charming in both of those movies that I could sit there and say "Not his fault it was written that way". The problem here is that Downey Jr. seemed so disinterested, that Tony Stark's arrogance and bravado isn't nearly as fun this time. I really hope Robert Downey Junior isn't becoming bored with Tony/Iron Man, because he really has made the character fun in its own franchise but if the upcoming Iron Man 3 has the Tony Stark featured in The Avengers then I'm not going to enjoy that movie nearly as much.
I'm still trying to figure out why they even bothered putting Hawkeye in this movie as he felt utterly superfluous in it. His entire role could have been replaced by using someone like The Taskmaster. Hawkeye gets brainwashed by Loki 5 minutes into the movie, shows up less than 10 minutes worth screen time before getting un-brainwashed and then gets more prominently featured during the last 1/3rd of the movie. The problem here is that Hawkeye is the least developed of all the characters introduced thus far in the build-up to this movie and thus actually NEEDED way more screen time and character development. Instead he effectively gets written out for the majority of the film and comes back for the grand finale. I want to care about Hawkeye but this movie gives me no damn reason to.
There is also some major problems with how Loki is written in this movie. The irony here is, Tom Hiddleston is so awesome as Loki at the same time. Having Loki play crazed world conqueror in so blatant a manor actually goes against both how he is portrayed in comics and how he was portrayed in the movie version of Thor. There are a few glimpses of him being a master manipulator, his little plan to cripple S.H.I.E.L.D. Is actually pretty damn brilliant, but this takes a backseat to him seeking to subjugate humanity through use of the Cosmic Cube. Early in the movie Loki all but preaches The Anti-Life Equation and I had a real problem with that and not just because The Anti-Life Equation is a Kirby New Gods concept. It is because Loki gets too much pleasure from toying with humans through his schemes to ever buy into the concept of Anti-Life. This movie tries to portray Loki as Darkseid but instead he comes across as a petulant child and that is a disservice to both Darkseid and to Loki.
OK that is the bad, so what is the good about The Avengers?
The last 45 minutes are EXACTLY what you want an movie featuring The Avengers to be. It has that classic Marvel feel of Superheroes throwing everything at the bad guys until the good guys win. Hell that has always been the mentality of The Avengers in comics. This isn't The Justice League of America, there isn't complex problem solving to beat the bad guys. The Avengers fight and fight and then they fight some more. Just some really great action and fight choreography fills the last 1/3rd of this movie. Every character gets their moments to shine. You get to see why Captain America is the second (or possibly third) best hand to hand combatant in the Marvel Universe, Thor brawls his ass off, Hawkeye shoots arrows (I mean honestly, that is what Hawkeye does) and Black Widow kicks even more ass than she did in Iron Man 2. It is an orgy of comic book violence and has those defining moments where the good guys stand triumphant multiple times. Amidst this you get defining moments for Captain America demonstrating why you absolutely would follow the man into battle. Most importantly, "Hulk Smash!". In fact Hulk smashes in a major way that should satisfy anyone who grew up reading The Incredible Hulk in 1970s.
I also loved Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. In fact she rally is the best developed character in this movie, as we get more of her background and history. Johansson takes a second tier Avenger and makes her the most fascinating character. We get details about her relationship with Hawkeye and see why she is one of Nick Fury's best agents. She shows why Black Widow is a Maser level spy through sheer manipulation. She is no blunt instrument like James Bond, she is a master of manipulating people, as much as Loki is. Yet she is still the most "human" of the major players in this film, especially when she interacts with Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner. Johnasson makes Black Widow as believable as possible in a most unbelievable of movies. Throw Samuel L. Jackson in that boat for "Master Manipulator" as well. Sam Jackson may look like Nick Fury in The Ultimates but they very much play him as classic Fury, using anyone and everyone around him to get the results he needs. Jackson's Fury has plots within his plots, like any good spymaster would. The more the movie unfolds, the more of Fury's hand gets revealed . Hell we even get that wonderful old Stan Lee/Jim Sternako era Fury as he has to fight tooth and nail against the S.H.I.E.L.D. High Council to make sure his plans don't get fucked up. Anyone who is a Nick Fury fan will walk away with a smile on their face with how well they handled the character. Hell it makes me wish they'd just do a straight up Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Movie!
Overall, this is not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, but like any movie not named Citizen Kane, it has its flaws. It doesn't come close to being the greatest Superhero movie of all time but is completely NOT the worst. As far as great comic book movies go (i.e. not necessarily Superhero movies) it ranks right there below Ghost World and Road to Perdition, which is pretty good company to be in as it were. As far as great Superhero movies go, well it is better than Watchmen (I still loathe that movie) and any version of the Punisher put to film. It really doesn't take much to be better than the Burton/Schumacher era Batman movies so even before I watched The Avengers, I knew it would be better than that tripe. It falls somewhere between X-Men and X-Men 2 probably. It is mainly hurt by weak dialogue and what seems to be Robert Downey Jr. sleep-walking his way through the first 2/3of the movie. Yet, the last 1/3rd is so much fun, one could almost forgive the the previous 2/3rd. Interestingly enough, this was longer than Iron Man 2 yet didn't FEEL as long as Iron Man 2 was and since The Avengers clocks in at just under 2 and a half hours that is saying something. Everything followed a logical course and gave a more than suitable resolution. Simply put, The Avengers is a fine spectacle for the most part. It just could have been a better movie overall.

9-year old Jericho Scott can pitch a baseball at around 40 mph. Since he plays in a developmental league where there are a lot of beginners, the league decided that he was too good (i.e. he pitches too fast) to pitch in that league, both because nobody could hit his pitching and that he might injure someone.
Jericho's parents and coaches claim that this decision was made because he turned down an invitation from a team sponsored by the employer of one of the league's administrators. The league denies this and claims that this decision was made because beginning players were not able to hit pitches at that speed and also that there were safety concerns (even though he had not hit anyone with a pitch.)
Now there are lawyers involved. After Jericho took the mound to start a game after officials had told his coach that he couldn't pitch, the league called the game a forfeit and kicked his team out of the league. Jericho's parents are understandably planning on taking legal action to allow Jericho and his team to play.
All Jericho, his teammates and their parents want to do is play, but the league is being a bunch of babies about the whole thing.

text: In the wan light of late afternoon I happened to gaze out across the open expanse of Sapsucker Woods pond. Wild winds had cut a mean pattern across its face, forming a series of standing waves across the frozen surface. If I squinted just right, the parallel sastrugi resembled nothing less than fine-waled corduroy stacked to the great beyond, a virtual ocean full of waves formed by the same primal force: wind. Gusts buffeted the sanctuary, hollowing the troughs and blowing the eroded snow to rest somewhere further down the line, engulfing the brown stalks of last year's goldenrod and burying everything in its path. At one point this morning, a female mallard appeared to be its next victim, and the snow slowly built up around her. Eventually her bill arose from its tightly tucked nook amid scapular feathers and led her into the last pocket of frigid open water, oblivious to the whirling tempest that forced the frozen pond into a semblance of motion (and led to visions of the green room for one surf-deprived nuthatch stranded in central NY).

My cabin is one of four on this particular wooden raft, which is at one end of a chain of connected and anchored rafts bobbing on the River Kwai in western Thailand.
Recent rain has swollen the river, with the sound of running water creating the ultimate "mood soundtrack" to fall asleep to. Every now and then a long-tail boat passes, gently rocking the raft.
But with water beneath and all around, going for a stroll in the dark is not advised.
But with water beneath and all around, going for a stroll in the dark is not advised.
Here there's no electricity. No wifi. No hot water.
And it's perfect.
|The chain of rafts creating the River Kwai Jungle Rafts
Created in 1976, it seems the River Kwai Jungle Rafts existed long before the term "eco-hotel" was coined.
Surrounded by steep river banks engulfed by dense jungle, like all guests I arrive and depart using long-tail boats that slice their way along the river.
A makeshift, bamboo gangplank is the only connection the rafts have with the "mainland" and this takes you to a local village of Mon people who staff the floatel.
The Mon people are an ethnic group from Myanmar (about 20km away) who have migrated into Thailand in search of a better life. Over time they've struggled for proper recognition and their movements in Thailand are restricted by the government. But working at the floatel gives them an opportunity to not only work, attend school, and eventually gain Thai citizenship, but also a chance to showcase their unique culture.
The locals paint their faces with thanaka in the traditional way, perform nightly dance shows, and proudly show visitors the unique aspects of their language, homes and religion.
|Local Mon girl joins her mum on the raft
There's quite a community feel on the rafts, no doubt aided by the fact that we're all literally "in the one boat together".
The cabins are simple, but provide everything I need, including a separate toilet, shower and, most importantly, hammock. A central raft supports the restaurant and bar, along with reception.

I feel like I've completely removed myself from the world when I slip under the mosquito net and into my double bed.
Given it feels like I'm in the middle of nowhere, surprisingly there's more to do here than just hang around in a hammock in between delicious meals of Thai food.
|Activity option: hanging around
Groups of guests routinely don life jackets, race to the front of the rafts, jump into the swiftly-flowing river, and then float down to the end of the raft chain. It's not quite clear where you could end up if you don't manage to haul yourself out of the river by the end raft.
Trips to the nearby Lawa Cave and Soi Yok Noi Waterfall also highlight some of the river's natural attractions.
|The village's elephants who come and bath in the river in the morning
Joining me on the rafts are plenty of British, Australian, Dutch and other tourists. Many have been attracted to this region around Kanchanaburi to learn more about the building of the Thai-Burma "Death" Railway by Japanese POWs during World War II.
A short trip away is the notorious Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, dedicated to those who worked and died on one of the most demanding stretches of the railway's construction. This reminder of the death, torture and hardship of those sent here against their will to work is a striking contrast to the tranquil setting of my temporary raft home.
But it also reminds me that the River Kwai and surrounding jungle are the real masters in this neck of the woods and I'm just along for the ride.
I travelled as a guest of River Kwai Jungle Rafts (www.riverkwaijunglerafts.com); Scoot Airlines (www.flyscoot.com); The Pullman Bangkok King Power (www.pullmanbangkokkingpower.com); The Tourism Authority of Thailand (www.tourismthailand.org); and the Ibis Bencoolen Singapore (www.ibishotels.com).

Last week my family and I headed up to Richmond for the Annual HEAV Convention. This year was their 30 year celebration. It was our first time and I was able to learn some new things and see some things I had never seen before. I would have loved to post pictures of the actual convention, but none were taken. It was too cold. But, I'll do better next year though!
We were there for 3 days. On Thursday my dad, sister and I went to a Q&A with Colin Gunn the maker of a documentary called; "Indoctrination." I've seen the movie and it's really good. If you haven't seen it go check it out! 😉 I didn't ask any questions because I'm a little shy around people I don't know and I really didn't know what to ask sooo… that was Thursday. Besides the Q& A, we all sat in a "Prep For High School" session. (not of much interest to a soon to be senior!! Woo-hoo!) 😀
Then on Friday, I went to another Q&A for "Aspiring Writers with Rachel Coker." This was very encouraging and inspiring for me, because I am a creative writer but I kind of slacked off once I started blogging. But after the session and hearing her speak, it was kind of like a jump-start for me to get back into creative writing. So, thanks Rachel!
Then my mother, sister, myself and two ladies from our church headed over to the Ballroom building to sit in on the "Mother-Daughter Q&A with Michelle Duggar and Daughters" It was nice. I was hungry, but it was nice. I enjoyed hearing Mrs. Michelle speak. She has a beautiful voice.
Later that afternoon, my family and I were supposed to go see the whole Duggar family but that didn't happen because we accidentally left the tickets in the hotel room. But I wasn't disappointed. I was content seeing Michelle Duggar and her daughters. So my mom went to a session by herself and my sister and I went with my dad to get something to eat.
Our last session of the day was "The Socialization Deception" by Jonathan Lewis. (This was not a Q&A) 🙂 It was a good session however, it was the end of the day and I was getting sleepy. It's hard to stay awake when they have the thermostat on a max of 0* degrees! 😯
I've made this post long enough. I'll have to continue the rest in another post. All that I have covered so far are the sessions I sat in on. I didn't even mention the sight-seeing! That is definitely a whole 'nother story! 😉
To Be Continued…

Everything and everyone in this universe mirrors our beliefs back to us. Whatever we believe, we will find in this world. So if we believe, that all youths are lazy, they will rise up to meet that expectation. On the other hand if we believe, that we will meet only kind and friendly people wherever we go, that too will be our experience.
Many teachers have recently written about this phenomenon. It is like all the people are shards of a mirror, mirroring back whatever we show them. This goes to ourselves, too. Haven't we all one time or another wondered, why on Earth did we behave the way we did? When we don't pay close attention on to how we ourselves want to feel, we will more easily just be reflecting something back.
I have noticed, that when I, myself, am annoyed and irritated, other people seem to be like that too. On the other hand if I'm happy and easy, I meet people, who are similar. When I hold certain expectations to certain people, they will rise to occasion and meet those expectations, be they good or bad ones. Sometimes people just mirror back to us, what we need to know about ourselves.
So that annoying relative is just mirroring back to you the annoyance you feel towards one of your own habits (usually the one, that annoys you so much). (Sometimes you just expect them to be annoying and they are fulfilling that request every time so perfectly.) But also that wonderful customer service person is just mirroring back to you your own kindness and expertise. When we start to notice this thing for what it is, it is easy to turn it around.
By acknowledging without judging the habits in ourselves we dislike, we make it possible to release them, to change them. But first we just have to notice them. When we expect our relatives to be less annoying they surprise us pleasantly. And whenever you see someone acting exceptionally well, give them the credit by all means, but take also some yourself. You wouldn't witness that behavior, if it wasn't part of you also!

Writing Prompt!
Posted by Mrs. Emery
Posted on March 10, 2016, in Writing Prompt. Bookmark the permalink. 4 Comments.
It was then he realized she was the one who betrayed him. The air was tight, his head resisted the urge to look from the screen to her face.
He looked.
Her eyes bore the image on the screen.
Her eyes found his and shaded the reflection.
It was her, he thought wistfully.
"You don't understand," the words fell like the sputter of a broken fountain. "It was for your own good." His hazel eyes pierced through hers of fear and treason, falling away in silence. In that moment the watered ground became his mirror. His tears added to the puddle upon his reflection. "I didn't mean to hurt you," she whispered, "I promise."
The boy's face shifted in rage, like rain burst into fire. "The last time you promised, you said you wouldn't say anything…but you did!"
"I'm sorry." Her hands fell at her sides with a apathetic sigh, like that of one taking their last breath.
"I'm sorry," she repeated, "But I wish you'd understand the difference between betrayal and doing something about what might harm someone I love. I couldn't let you further your own harm, David," sighing again, she turned her gaze to him and locked them on his soft eyes, "I couldn't let you betray yourself."
You always know how to dazzle me with your words Leah. Was nice to see a little short story compared to the breathtaking poems you post; great job with this one!
Aw thank you, Mads. I don't do stories too often but I loved Grace's prompt so I had to write something, haha.

It was then he realized she was the one who betrayed him.
"Why?" The words escaped his lips in a barely audible whisper.
Her lower lip quivered and her kelp-green eyes filled with hot tears. She brushed the falling raindrop from her cheek, then wrapped her arms around herself, trembling slightly.
"I'm sorry," She cried, "I didn't have a choice!" She took a step closer, reaching for his hand, but he yanked it away, backing up.
He shook his head, "You always have a choice," He looked at the ground, unable to comprehend her unforgivable act.
"I didn't, I had to do this." She tried crossing the distance between the two, but he only made it wider, his despair turning to fury, "You didn't! We had a plan, and you betrayed it! You betrayed me…" The lightning of anger faded quickly, a tear staining his shoes, where his eyes were fixed.
A loud wailing sound filled the air, causing both heads to swivel to the noise.
Fear sparked in his eyes and he shot a glance to her as he was accustomed to, then the reality of her lie sank in. He sprinted in the other direction, heading into the brush.
"Please, don't run!" She pleaded, but he ignored her, bolting through the trees.
"Which way did he go?" An authoritative voice demanded.
He slowed to catch the answer, leaning his ear to the words.
The response came slowly, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Every boy in the developed parts (and not so developed) of the United States of America wanted an Easy Bake Oven.
This is something that I think most people will not cop too. Ladies, your manly boyfriends and husbands might never tell you, so I am telling you, that every boy wanted an easy bake oven.
Despite the gender red flags that Easy Bake Oven commercials set up in our prepubescent eyes–the pink, the light chorus of preteen girls singing, the mom in the kitchen–we wanted it. It was a toy that could make things that we could eat, end of story.
Many boys had access to Easy Bake Ovens via sisters who got the toy. It was okay to help your little sister use the toy, hell, it was your manly duty to play with the oven so your sister could understand how to use it.
I was an only child.
There was no shortage of boys toys that were cooler than girls toys (there was no competition once video games showed up), but there was a great swathe of boys toys that were inexplicably linked to being gross or playing with substances that smelled like clay feces. I used to play with my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ooze machine wishing it was a little toy oven that could make amazing cupcakes.
Jokes on Hasbro, I got myself a kitchen and a boyfriend who loves baking. I eat cupcakes and cookies all day now. No amount of social engineering kept me away from the kitchen.
When I call my mom up we'll talk about Batman. Why? Because when she was a little girl she would sneak off to the Guatemalan bodega and buy herself Batman comics.
This little girl is a hero and the whole silly argument brings up a good point: Why settle for horrible gendered things when you can have the best of both worlds? An easy bake oven, AND Batman comics?
I'm trying to grasp at the reason, in earnest, and I can only come up with vague notions of propriety that disappear when you look at them straight on.

The day is finally here! On Feb. 2, Groundhog Day, we'll find out if there'll be six more weeks of winter…or if we'll get an early spring (*crosses fingers*). Of course, it's all in the hands of Punxsutawney Phil, the official groundhog whose shadow determines what kind of weather is to come. Watchit all go down here!Mother Nature's future is all in your hands,Punxsutawney Phil! Just like every year, the famous groundhog will emerge from his burrow on the morning of Feb. 2 to see if his shadow appears. If it does, he'll run back inside, and there'll be another six weeks of winter. If he doesn't, he'll stay out…because spring is comin'!Coverage from Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania begins around 6:00 a.m., but Philisn't expected to come out untilaround sunrise, which is estimated at 7:25 a.m. It'll only take a few moments to determine whether or not Phil's shadow is visible, so tune in, or you'll miss it!Relive Groundhog Day 2016 HEREDon't listen to the predictions of any of thoseimpostor groundhogs out there, either! Punxsutawney Phil is the onlyone who can give an accurate reading. The Groundhog Daytradition began in the U.S. 130 years ago, and even though groundhogs only have a life span of 6-8 years, the folklore claims Phil hasbeen kept alive thanks to a "magical punch," which he drinks every summer and gives him another seven years of life.Phil has made 129 predictions since the start of Groundhog Day, and he's only not seen his shadow 18times. Those aren't very good odds for us getting an early spring, huh!? Phil's accuracy rate is only 39%, though, so he's been wrong before. We'll just have to wait and see!

Our Fearless Lead
Well, this is my last post for the Hershey, PA event. I'll probably take a day or two off from blogging and rest my head and heart. This was the wildest day of my life and I've yet to sit down and soak it all in. What is incredible about it all is in one day I have developed some very deep and close friends from this event.
I have to tell you that I share the title of Fiskateer of the Year 2008 with two amazing, talented, and giving women: Laura Casey and Julie Overby. Laura was first named FOY about two weeks ago, I received my honor one week ago, and Julie was just honored yesterday. With a community as giving, loving, supportive, creative, and encouraging as Fiskateers there is no way there can only be one FOY 2008. I'm honored to share the title with two of the greatest people I know. I'm truly humbled to be counted among them.
I'll announce the two RAK winners in the next day or two IF we have 100 comments. So go back to the original post and count for me. If we are short then buzz your friends to come on over and post a comment. We have to hit one hundred comments before the RAK is awarded!
I have special plans for RAKS and Challenges throughout the holiday seasons. I hope to have some fun holiday inspiration also.

I meditate once in a week. For me mediation is a cleansing ritual. I think of a time when everything is just zero. No best or worst, no fairness and unfairness, and no love or hate. A sublime place where there is just emptiness. And it's not easy to get to such a place. In about 12-15 minutes of sitting with my eyes closed, I completely forget myself for 4-6 minutes. My yoga teacher would say that's a good start. And yes, I am just starting. It is said that good, wholesome, home-made food helps the mind stay calm. Ayurveda prescribes eating seasonal fruits and vegetables without fail. After all, why should nature's gifts be forgone in the face of diets? When favorite vegetables (in most cases potatoes, cheeses, and other starchy food) are cooked in mild spice preparations, they take care of two things: food temptations, and optimal food consumption.
Yogurt-Spiced Bitter-Gourd Curry
- 4-5 bitter gourds, washed
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 200 g raw peanuts
- 250 ml fresh, creamy yogurt
- 5 pods of cardamom, split
- 2 tspn cumin seeds
- Curry leaves from 3 stalks
- Juice of a lemon
- Salt
- Turmeric
- Extra virgin or light olive oil
– Chop the ends off the bitter gourds, and slit them vertically, just half way through.
– In a large pot, bring about a ltr or a little more salted water upto boil, and drop the gourd pieces into it. Boil for 20 min, or till a knife inserted into a piece goes in without much resistance. You could use a pressure cooker instead, but I have felt that directly boiling gives me more control over the vegetable.
– Soak peanuts in room temp water for 10 min.
– Meanwhile, make your sauce and stuffing.
– For the stuffing, in a medium sized heavy bottom dish, heat a tspn of oil, add cumin seeds, onion, chillies and garlic, and sauté till the onions are translucent.
– Grind the soaked peanuts in the processor till they are almost powder but still coarse, and add this to the onion mixture on the stove
– Add 2 tbspn of yogurt to loosen the mixture. Season with a pinch of turmeric and salt. Switch off and let it cool for a little bit. Add the cardamom pods just before you switch off. Add them, stir a bit, switch off and keep the mixture closed.
– After 20 minutes or so of boiling, strain the gourd, and run it under cold water. Stuff each piece with the mixture. Some mixture will remain.
– Now make the gravy by adding a tspn of oil to another large heavy bottomed dish on heat, and adding the remaining onion-peanut mixture. Cook for 10 seconds, and add the rest of the yogurt, salt, lemon juice, and turmeric. Let it boil for 3 minutes, and then add in the stuffed bitter gourd pieces. Coat all the pieces evenly with the yogurt sauce and let the whole thing boil and let the sauce be infused in the vegetable for about 3-4 minutes. Top it off with curry leaves tempered in a tspn of oil.
Switch off and serve hot or warm with rice or Indian bread.

text: Loreal Culture Differences Topics: China, Confucianism, People's Republic of China Pages: 4 (1453 words) Published: August 20, 2010 According to Edward Tylor, culture is defined as 'a complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and other capabilities acquired by man as a member of society' (Dowling et al., 2009). Indeed, culture is defined by norms, values, social interactions, language and others personal components shared by groups of people across the world. From a country to another, humans have developed different types of symbolic, aesthetic expressions, beliefs and codes of behaviour which can be difficult to understand for foreigners. From a business point of view, companies have to adapt themselves to the culture of each country in which they want to have business in. Because of the differences of culture between countries, companies need to adjust their products and services. This will enable them to contribute to the creation and to the development of a large panel of products across the world. Each culture contains sub-cultures which have new or different set of behaviours and ways of living that could be perceived as wrong by others. Having cultural issues means that a group of people believe that another group is wrong in their behaviour. In China, social values are based on Confucianism and Taoism. The Chinese culture is one of the oldest and complex cultures of the world. The Confucianism is one of the largest philosophies of China which includes moral, political and cultural reflections. According to Confucius, virtue is an inner wealth than any man can acquire, because human nature is neither good nor bad (J.R. Hinnells, 1985). Moreover, Confucius believed that reform of the community was only possible through family and individual. Even if the importance of Confucian principles moralists has declined in China after the Cultural Revolution, the latent influence that Confucianism has even today, for example on the social model of South Korea but also Japan, is central (respect for ancestors, filial piety, obedience to elders, patriarchy, etc....

Jump Right In! Adopting New Platforms before Reporting Metrics
Hosted by VaynerMedia
BFI Southbank: Stage Two South Block London SE1 8XT
Marketers are known for pushing the envelope and leveraging innovative tactics to reach consumers. In the quest for consumer attention, it may be strategic for brands to adopt platforms that have large consumer following and ranked highly in the app store, even if those platforms, don't yet have a robust reporting platform for brands. This is cyclical, consumer attention makes a platform popular and then the platform develops back end reporting tools to match what marketers have come to expect from channels with paid ads or sponsorship.
Meghann Barber, Associate Director of VaynerMedia's influencer marketing team will collaborate with Chris Lambert, Senior Digital Business Partner and Influencer Manager, Northern Europe at Johnson & Johnson and cover what is possible now via highly developed platforms with robust reporting and contrast with less measurable tactics such as leveraging influencers posting about your brand on Instagram or Snapchat.

So I'm sitting at my kid's little league game and I'm noticing that the only ones really into the game are the parents. Parents cheering (and yelling) from the sidelines, parent/coaches yelling at the players from inside the dugout, parent/umpires yelling out balls and strikes. Where are the kids? Why are they not heard? They seem to just be listening to all the yelled instructions floating around them. The poor kids are up at bat trying to read the third base coaches ridiculously complicated hand signals. Other kids are being yelled at in the dugout and the balance who may be lucky enough to be on base are yelled at when to run, steal or stay put. Where has all the fun gone? Suggestion: kids take back your sport. Reclaim baseball as your own. Get rid of us parents, coach yourselves, call your own balls and strikes. Take the game off the manicured playing fields and put them back on the sandlot. For that matter, get rid of the parents for all your sports. What do you need us for anyway?

Ah yes. When my son watched a brawl between parents break out during his game, he was disgusted, and I was embarrassed to be in the stands while the kids stood on the field shaking their heads. Unfortunately that was his last season in the game.

Saw Edge of Tomorrow a few days ago. Overall, it's a decent action flick. It's not very deep, it won't make you think much and, like most time-travel(ish) movies, doesn't always make a lot of sense. But it has plenty of explosions and shooting (if that's your thing) and a touch of humor here and there (think Groundhog Day, with guns and aliens).
Tom Cruise is, well, Tom Cruise; he doesn't really change much movie to movie. I thought Emily Blunt did a fine job, though she is perhaps a bit underused here.
If you're itching for an action movie, Edge of Tomorrow is worth the price of a matinee ticket (or just wait and Netflix it in a few months). However, if you can't stand Tom Cruise, or you're looking for some deep, introspective movie, you're better off skipping this one.

Oh to be in Madison, Ind., on or about June 18 when the first span of the new Ohio River bridge is lifted onto the temporary piers built for it.
Here's a question: Continue pouring money into the way-behind-schedule, way-over-budget project at Olmstead, or divert some of that money to other critical lock and dam infrastructure needs on the Ohio River system? Another question raised in the article is whether recreational boaters and hydroelectric companies should kick in some or more of the cost of rebuilding said infrastructure.
