5 Success Myths That Block Success
Article from TrulyRichClub..
|Success Strategy idea
I realized that the biggest blocks to success aren't physical but mental. What prevents many people from succeeding are their wrong ideas in their minds about success. I listed below the 5 Myths to Success.
Check if you have any of them—and start sweeping them out of your mind right now. They're demons that need to be exorcised.
Myth 1: I'm Not Successful Because I Haven't Unlocked the Profound Mystery Yet…
Last Saturday, after my seminar, a young man talked to me. He said, "Brother Bo, I'm 19 years old. I want to be successful like you. Can you tell me how?" I admired his question and I told him what I could tell him in the 30 seconds we could talk.
But then it dawned on me—Do people think that success is so mysterious, it's a well-kept secret by the ultra successful? Perhaps some people think that success is like an esoteric code handed down by aliens in Atlantis City some 3000 years ago, only to be discovered if Indiana Jones finds that code—written in papyrus hidden in a golden urn guarded by cobras and poison darts.
But it's not. Success is a simple pattern, just like math. One plus one equals two. Always. You become successful if you do certain very obvious and simple activities over and over again. Like having an alignment with your passion, potential, and position. Plus getting a mentor. And having an I-will-never give-up attitude. And follow through. And…. Oh, you get my point.
These past few years, I've been privileged to meet and talk to wildly successful individuals. I have coffee with them, eat lunches with them, take vacations with them, and do business with them. If there's anything super about them, it's the fact that there's nothing super about them. They're not supernatural beings.
They're not gifted with mutant powers. They're not angels. They make the same mistakes we all make. They failed in school. They failed in business. They failed in their relationships. And hanging out with them makes you realize, "My gosh, if they can do it, I can do it too!"
Myth 2: I'm Not Successful Because I'm Just Not Lucky
Yes, there's luck involved. Except I call it a bit differently. I call it blessing. But I've realized that there's a direct link between labor and luck. They're directly proportional to each other: The more labor you give, the more luck you receive! This reechoes what Seneca, a 1st century Roman philosopher, said: "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
Yes, there's luck involved. Except I call it a bit differently. I call it blessing. But I've realized that there's a direct link between labor and luck. They're directly proportional to each other: The more labor you give, the more luck you receive! This reechoes what Seneca, a 1st century Roman philosopher, said: "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
I've noticed this as a common theme among successful people—that their success was a happy diversion from what they originally wanted to do. But because they were working hard for that original project, they saw this second project—and that's what becomes gigantic. Ray Kroc didn't start McDonalds. And he never thought he was going to be in the burger business. He was actually selling a milkshake mixer to restaurants, and that was how he met the McDonald brothers. But in their bustling restaurant, he saw a massive opportunity to multiply that restaurant all over the country.
My friend WealthCircle Mentor Ronnie started a new business. He's now selling CFL light bulbs by the millions. But how did he get into this? It wasn't his original idea. He started selling electric meters to electric utility companies. But one day, while standing on the balcony of his condo, holding a wine glass, gazing upon the Bo's Wealth TIPS magnificent lights of the city—he had a light bulb moment (figurately and literally).
He realized that he could only supply one electric meter per house, but he could supply many light bulbs per house! Kaching kaching. All of a sudden, he saw money. And today, the river of money flows into his business. Ray Kroc and Ronnie saw the opportunity because they were prepared to see it.
I always hear many people tell me, "Bo, how can you be so lucky?" They enumerate my achievements—the books I wrote, the organizations I created, the stuff I did… But people don't see all the YEARS of preparation that brought me to where I am now. I love saying this: You're surrounded by an ocean of blessings. There is no shortage of blessings. There's only a shortage of readiness to receive those blessings.
Myth 3: I'm Not Successful Because I'm Waiting for My Big Break…
Success is not an event. Success is a journey—a very long journey via a circuitous path through hills and valleys. Mostly valleys! I looked at my life and reflected on my success ratio. I found it very interesting that for every 10 product ideas I launched, I fail (disastrously) seven times, mildly succeed in two, and succeed phenomenally in one.
But those three wins are enough to pay for my seven failures—and much, much more. I repeat: Success is a journey. Many people think that success happens when you write a book, or when you build a company, or when you get an award, or when you earn a million. Nope.
For example, while you're writing your first book, you should already be thinking of your second book—or seminar, or workshop, or conference, or coaching program, or membership club. And while you're preparing to launch your first product, you should already be tinkering with your second, third, and fourth product.
Don't depend on the one big break to make you successful. You need to plan a never-ending series of big breaks.
Myth 4: I'm Not Successful Because I Don't Know Anybody…
Heard this before? "I don't know anybody…" "I don't know anybody" is an all-around, all-season, multi-purpose excuse you can use anywhere. From not getting a job, to not getting a sale, to not getting a promotion, to not getting a business launched, to not getting a seat in a restaurant.
The excuse is a half-truth. I agree that knowing someone is important, especially decision makers, teachers, regulators, etc. But if you don't know anyone, what should you do? Get to know someone.
For example, people keep telling me, "Bo, I don't have a business mentor. How do you get one?" So I ask, "Do you attend our business seminars? Our Entrepreneur Workshops with Dean Pax? Do you attend your annual industry conferences?"
|Investment success
Ninety percent of the time, people will say, "No." When I ask why, they answer, "Because I can't afford them…" Ah, there lies the giant, monstrous, hideous mistake. You can't afford NOT to attend these seminars and workshops and events. People think that all they get from these events is wisdom. Wrong. That's only half the benefit. In these events, you get to know a lot of people.
You get to know your mentors personally. You get to know other participants who are in the same journey. If you keep attending these events on a regular basis, you'll enlarge your network and know a lot of somebodies. Go out. Love people!
Myth 5: I'm Not Successful Because I Don't Have Enough Money to Expand Fast Enough
I hear this from new entrepreneurs a lot. They say, "Bo, I wish I had huge capital for my business… That way, I can really expand like crazy…"
No, you don't want to expand like crazy. Just do it steadily, one store at a time, one distribution channel at a time. If your money runs out, don't borrow at high prices just to expand again. You'll die young. Learn along the way. Take it easy. Skip and dance. Whistle your way to work. Hum a tune and enjoy the journey.
All my business mentors are very deliberate about growth. And they are never in a hurry. One of our WealthCircle mentors, Junie, builds roads and bridges in the provinces. Last January, he told us he wanted to build his own asphalt plant.
It's September now and he hasn't bought a single machine for the plant. That means for nine solid months, he's been researching, flying to China, Japan, and Singapore, looking for the best machines for his plant. That's the mature businessman. He takes his time. He's extra careful. Meticulously, he's looking at every angle. He's thorough. Once he makes his decision, he'll plunk down millions.
Yes, there are mature businessmen and there are immature businessmen. The other day, I heard about a businessman who sold his business for 10 million pesos. When he got the 10 million, he started investing in other businesses—usually run by his friends—and in five years—all his money has flown away. He said, "It would have been the same if I just got all that money and threw it in a garbage can—and burned it in a big bonfire."
I repeat: He was already an entrepreneur. But he still made dumb decisions. Why? Clearly, he wasn't a mature businessman. He was impulsive. He didn't have mentors. At that point, he needed a wise mentor who could have guided him in handling his 10 million.
If you don't have money now, that may be the best thing for your business right now. You'll be hungrier. And it will make you grow organically. Let me warn you: The very worst thing that can happen to people who don't know how to make money is to have lots of money at their disposal. That is a disaster waiting to happen.
If you don't know how to make money—and your father, or stepmom, or best friend, or long-distant auntie who died without a descendent, gives you lots of money—get ready to LOSE IT. You'll be making wrong decisions.
Be wise!
Get Rid of These Myths
There are many more myths, but I found these five myths to be the most insidious. Get rid of them, and success will be nearer than you think.
Here are the 5 Success Truths I shared with you today:
*Truth 1: Success is about following a simple pattern, not a mystery;
*Truth 2: Success is about preparation, not luck;
*Truth 3: Success is a journey, not an event;
*Truth 4: Success is about deliberately building a network and loving people, not resigning oneself to not knowing anyone;
*Truth 5: Success is enjoying the journey and growing organically, never growing in a hurry.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

A Platte County judge removed the mayor of Tracy, Mo., on Friday for hiring her son-in-law to do repair work for the city.
Rita A. Rhoads had been mayor since 2008. On Monday, Prosecutor Eric Zahnd filed a civil action to remove Rhoads from office for violating the Missouri Constitution's ban on nepotism. Rhoads agreed to pay $100 to her son-in-law to fix a city sign despite knowing that the law prohibited her from hiring him to do work for the city, Zahnd said.
Circuit Judge Owens Lee Hull Jr. found that Rhoads violated the state constitution and removed her from office.
A city employee had warned Rhoads that she could not hire her son-in-law, but she persisted anyway, authorities said.
"I don't care," Rhoads purportedly responded. "They need the money."
Reached by phone Friday, Rhoads declined to comment.
Earlier this week, Hull issued a preliminary order barring her from exercising authority as mayor and ordering her to respond to the prosecutor's lawsuit within 15 days.
Under Missouri law, prosecutors can file such a suit — called a "petition in quo warranto" — to remove an elected official from office should she commit nepotism.
"Today's decision reaffirms that public officials cannot use their office to enrich family members, regardless of whether it is for $100 or $100,000," Zahnd said in a statement.
According to the lawsuit, Rhoads hired son-in-law Matthew Spores to repair a sign that had been damaged by a drunk driver. The $100 check initially was made out to MDS Construction, for which Spores had been a registered agent. However, when Spores could not cash the check, he returned it to Rhoads, who then wrote a check to Spores on a city account, the lawsuit alleged.
Rhoads also had hired Spores to perform other work for the city, including repairing a garage door and replacing a water heater. Rhoads maintained that she did not try to cover up who received the money, even though it was undisputed that she approved an invoice to her son-in-law's defunct business, Zahnd said.
After the son-in-law could not cash the check, Rhoads admitted she handwrote a second check payable to him personally rather than to his nonexistent business, Zahnd said.
Tracy is a small community near Platte City with a population of just over 200.

Why Do I Love This Buying Guide?
Think about the different things that need to be taken care of as you're looking at what may be related to the larger picture of lawn care. You need to be able to purchase a number of different things and, when all is said and done, you want to feel like you have a fairly good grip on just what you need to be able to accomplish. How do you know that you can get whatever you may need? I love this buying guide for mowers, because it can help me to work out just what needs to be done and how I need to go about it in the first place.
As you start to look for a mower of any sort, you may be a little conflicted as to what you need to do and how you may need to accomplish it. You want to make sure that you're making the appropriate connections with other people and that, as time goes on, you're actually going to be able to find a lot of different things that come into play with the whole thing. A great buying guide is going to be your main resource in regards to what needs to happen and how you want to make it a reality as time goes on, as well.
A good mower is one that has all of the features that you may want, without making it more difficult in order to try and get all of those little things worked in a particular manner. You will, often times, figure out what is best in regards to what may be out there and how you want to make sense of just what is necessary, at the same time. It will, in the long run, be a good plan for how things get done. As you start to look around for the mower that you want, you will also be able to note that there are a lot of things that you can get for those efforts and for the budget that you have in place.
As with any technology, you will find that it's getting easier and easier for you to find mowers that work within your budget and allow you to figure out what may be going on in those circumstances. You can talk directly to different people about just what is going on and, in the long run, you're going to be able to seek out a lot of different things in which you can get the most for whatever may be out there. Look at what you're doing, figure out the best ways to make things happen, and know that you're going to be able to get a lot for whatever efforts that you have decided to put into it. You'll end up with a great mower that is easy for you to go ahead and use on a fairly regular basis, no matter what may be going on in your life.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Review
Scott Pilgrim is an amazing film that any self respecting geek, nerd or video game lover should go out and see immediately. It has interesting well developed characters, an amazing visual flair, funny jokes, and 7 of the best action scenes I've seen outside of a kung fu flick! With the exception of the first few minutes and some missteps this is a near flawless adaption of an original story.
Angry Movie Review
What you'll Like:
• Amazing Visual eye candy combined with a subtle deeper message.
• Nails translating a video game feel to the big screen, more so that actual video game based movies!
• The fight choreography is flawless – THIS is how fight scenes should be filmed.
• Self-aware of its own silliness and runs with it!
• Best Part: Every single fight scene.
What you'll Hate:
• The first 30 minutes are almost unbearable.
• Dialogue oddly falls flat on occasion with lame jokes and visual gags.
• Scott is a rude inconsiderate jerk and Ramona is undeserving but that's kinda the point – still a bit unsatisfying.
• Worst Part: All the extremely annoying jump cuts.
Final Verdict:

The First 30 m,,,,are Great !!! Love every secont of the FILM !!!
June 29, 2013 at 8:16 pm
Xu Xiaoya you might care about this money, she said: Do not worry teachers, we must call a good single senior, this money will be reimbursed to Qiang got.
June 19, 2013 at 10:39 pm
I couldn't get past the first 30 myself. Well…to an extent, I did. It was okay. I couldn't go past a 7 by your rating because it is over 1/3 of the film that sucks. I think you were just so amazed that a movie got fight scenes rights for once. Think is, this isn't an actual video game translation. I know you know this…but…
It was trying too hard. Just like the comics. Reminds me of the feel of Homestuck. My gawd, that name says it all.
The story sucks. I expected something more than the desert metaphor that is in so much "deeper" stuff. Trust me, I get it. He's a hopeless geek who needs more experience. You can't just get love right away and expect it. W/e.
Maybe I just really wish the lesbian was hot.
June 7, 2013 at 3:47 pm
Sounds like someone wants to get……..funky.

April 12, 2013 at 8:31 am
No no no no Joe. You need to read the comic. The film is awesome, but if you REALLY want to know the characters, that's the only way.
April 9, 2013 at 11:44 am
I Totaly Loved The Beginning And The Jumpcut's

Me Too,,,,even the PEE bar jajajaj
April 3, 2013 at 8:15 pm
must own my ass dude you should've gave it a 6/10
March 4, 2013 at 11:14 pm
i dont andertand why they do this:
they try really hard to traspass the original story at first and then CHANGE THE AMAZING ENDING OF THE NOVEL THAT IS INCREDIBLE GOOD AND MAKES SENSE.
even someone that dont read the novel feels that the ending was weird.
Well they do this before like in the Kick Ass movie
March 19, 2013 at 7:47 pm
It's because the original ending hadn't been written yet when the movie was in production.
February 19, 2013 at 6:44 pm
I just wana know. Have you ever read the Scott Pilgrim's comics ? It don't seem you did when you have done the review. If you haven't read them yet , it's a must read comics serie.
January 31, 2013 at 6:59 pm
Ultimoassorgasmico XD
January 25, 2013 at 7:26 pm
this is my favorite movie off all time, just sayin'
January 23, 2013 at 10:30 pm
Hey, Joe, if you didn't like to theatrical ending, the actual movie has a deleted scenes with the ending you and I wanted! I take serious offense I'm going to come over there and kill you Joe!!!! XDDD Jk!
January 21, 2013 at 6:48 pm
the jump cuts was the best part for me, made it feel much quicker:) awesome movie
January 5, 2013 at 1:44 am
If you like fights you must see this.
December 18, 2012 at 6:50 pm
that chick with the purpleish hair was cute
December 11, 2012 at 4:55 pm
You MUST read the comic books Joe. You'll change your mind about Ramona and about her relationship with Scoot!
December 4, 2012 at 9:06 pm
WHAAT?!?!? reading the comments for me is a down set,why? well for starters the 30 minutes are not as bad as joe describes it,2nd Ramona had this cool glow,overall she felt cool abit slutty(but not enough to scream out 2$SLUT INC.)3rd the fight scenes where down straight epic, action was packed and didnt feel stail
my personal opinion overall
Story- 6-ish
Fight scenes-10(by far the best fight scenes slash game related PERIOD.)
Actor's -9 Wallace's a.ka Kieran Culkin felt really good he made me giggle and was a key point why for me this movie successeded
FINAL GOD DAMN VERDICT IS 8.3 the MOVIE IS FUCKING GOOD, Buy IT!
December 3, 2012 at 8:25 pm
I don't know if I was the only one to think of "jojo bizarre adventur"e when reading the "angry jojo" in the begining lol
December 2, 2012 at 4:41 am
The Super-Vegan was a blatant Dragonball reference. Even his hair stands up, gets even more blonde, he smashes Scott through the walls like nothing, uses KI-attacks… come on, that's how Dragonball is supposed to be filmed!
It was AWESOME!
November 23, 2012 at 11:56 pm
i would give it a 3/10 only because of the really stupid but funny story
November 23, 2012 at 11:55 pm
This movie blows the fight scenes are more nauseating than playing four hours of sonic free riders and it is incredibly boring and just stupid.
November 9, 2012 at 6:57 pm
I thought that this was good. Then i read all teh mangas/graphic nobles, then i found the movie bad

THERE will be an extremely rare chance for the public to sail into Cammell Laird shipyard's Wet Basin when a Mersey ferry visits for the first time on Sunday, April 14, on a special charter.
This is the launch for the 110th anniversary celebration of SS Daniel Adamson, the UK's last steam tug tender, undergoing restoration to full working order by the Daniel Adamson Preservation Society (DAPS), at Sandon Dock, Liverpool.
It marks a superb recovery by DAPS after the knock-back it suffered when Waverley Excursions announced the lay-up of the historic motorship Balmoral.
As reported in Shipping Lines, DAPS hoped to charter Balmoral for functions in Canning Dock, Liverpool, and a Manchester Ship Canal cruise followed by further ship-board promotions at Salford Quays.
DAPS chairman Dan Cross said: "What better way to celebrate the launch of the Daniel Adamson in 1903 than to re-visit her birthplace?
"Thanks to great co-operation from Cammell Laird and Mersey Ferries, we will enjoy a four-hour river cruise with a slight detour.
"We are delighted to get permission from Laird's to enter its Wet Basin for a brief "in and out" visit.
"Since access is only available near high water it will be quick.
"However, the chance to take, for the first time, a fully-laden passenger ferry into the basin, and to be in the same location of the Tranmere Bay Development Co's slipways all those years ago, is something very special and not to be missed."
This is an apt follow-up to DAPS' cruise last year which made a rare visit by ferry to Garston Docks. Commentary will again be given by BBC Radio Merseyside's Andy Ball, retired senior Liverpool Pilot Stuart Wood and, er, myself.
Provisionally the cruise will begin at midday from Liverpool Pier Head, Seacombe and Birkenhead Woodside, where tickets can be bought for £25 each. Further details will follow.

Postcards from your Mind's Eye
Several years ago, a close family member was getting ready for her daughter's wedding. It was to be an
In an effort to continue to help both of them without taking time away from my busy practice, I recorded a CD. It occurred to me that this CD, Postcards from Your Mind's Eye, would be helpful to many people.
On the CD, I take the listener on an imaginative journey as I instruct them through the process of guided imagery, autogenic training, deep muscle relaxation and deep breathing techniques. I also include an additional track that teaches how to create your own imaginary journey.

Covenant and Kingdom
Much of our lives are about friendship and hope, fear and aspiration. As we read the Bible, we discover that the characters we meet have similar stories, needs and challenges. The power of the Bible is its ability to speak into our ordinary experience; that is, how we make relationships and how we take responsibility for our lives and the lives of others.
We are starting a new series in May that will take us right through the Bible looking at two fundamental themes; covenant and kingdom – relationships and responsibility – worked out in the lives of some key characters who stirred nations and changed history
Covenant is the way in which the Bible describes and defines relationship; our relationship with God first and then with everyone else. Throughout the series we will be exploring the essential elements of covenant. These are the Fatherhood of God, identity flowing from our relationship with God and our sense of security and confidence as we discover that we are His children and thirdly obedience; living out a life that is consistent with our identity.
Kingdom is the way in which the Bible describes and defines responsibility; first to represent God to the people we know and then to everyone else. We will look at the essential elements which help us gain an understanding of kingdom; God's as the majestic ruler of heaven and earth, God's authority and His power.
From May until July, we will cover the Old Testament, drawing from the narrative portions of the Bible which follow the lives of Abraham, Moses, Ruth and David.
It will be exciting to be following their journeys; discovering their relationship with God and others and their responsibility to represent God on earth.
In the Autumn, the series will resume by focusing on Jesus. In the new Testament we see a deepening in our understanding as Jesus reveals his relationship with his father. We see Jesus invite his followers into a depth of covenant relationship not seen before and invites us to experience the same depth of relationship that he enjoyed with God. In time we discover that how the kingdom of God is seen most perfectly in the life of Jesus.

|One of Our Dietz Lanterns
For us, this is a really relaxing form of recreation. Then, again, we're old farts and it doesn't take much to amuse us. LOL. We really love discussing the day's goings on and what we're planning to do in the near future. Sometimes we'll talk until 10 or 11 pm as the night goes quickly when we're having this much fun.
We set out our lanterns around the campfire and picnic table. They really make the whole experience nice. We bought these little babies from Lehman's in Kidron, Ohio. No. We didn't go there, but that is one of my bucket list items to do. They have a really nice website and they will send out a catalog if you request one. They cater to the Amish and those who choose a rustic or off-grid lifestyle. Maybe this summer, when we visit relatives in PA, I may be able to get Hubby to make a side trip.
|Trixie Getting Ready for Campfire Night
I bought marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars to make S'mores. That was a hit even for the adults! I also made a huge bowl of buttered popcorn with our air popper. Yum! The night flew quickly. The little girls tried to tell ghost stories and other tall tales. We got a kick out of them. We all talked until about 10 pm when the neighbor mentioned the time.
I think we all had a good night. The dogs were great with all of the loving they were getting. The little girls were hanging on their necks and giving them hugs and petting. I think the company wore them out because they were really good dogs and fell fast asleep when we got into the house.
May all of your campfire nights be filled with enjoyment!

Consolation in Tucson
The President speaks to the better angels of our democracy.
President Obama rose to the occasion yesterday evening at the memorial ceremony for the victims of Saturday's murders in Tucson, not least because he spoke to the better angels of our democracy.
To an audience seeking consolation, the President honored the lives of the slain, praised the heroism of those who saved lives, in some cases by sacrificing their own, and wisely explained that some acts of violence are not subject to easy blame, much less partisan explanation....

These faucets are to connect to water supply lines coming out of the bathroom wall. Place your free standing tub next to the wall and let the water flow into the tub. If your clawfoot tub requires a Bath Room Wall faucet you have come the right place. We have a good selection of Bath Room Wall faucets. Maybe you are uncertain why your tub requires a certain kind of tap like Bath Room Wall. "Bathroom Wall" indicates where the faucet will be put. Some Victorian Style Clawfoot Bathtubs that have no holes on the inside of wall not the rim of the tub so the water supply to fill the tub can be from a Bathroom Wall Faucet.
There are some Bathroom Wall faucets that have a very Vintage appearance to them such as the British Telephone or Classic Telephone Tap with a Hand Held Shower Sprayer. In the eyes of many home owners with a Vintage Clawfoot Style Tub, in order to completely create the vision they have in mind for their tub they need a Classic Telephone faucet. The Classic Telephone faucet fills the tub with 10 gallons of water each min. That quantity of water fills a tub rather quickly. With the purchase of the tap, there may be a choice of the kind of handles preferred. Pick either metal cross handles with white ceramic hot|cold tab or plain metal or lever handles. Make certain to examine the features of the faucet carefully. An additional choice you have is to call the toll free number and talk with a representative who will be able to answer all of your questions.
Another prominent style of Bathroom Wall Faucet is the English Telephone or Gooseneck Faucet. This faucet is a little bit more modern-day looking yet the hand held shower sprayer provides the overall look of Vintage or Victorian style. The tap can generally be purchased without the hand held shower if wanted. Just like the Classic Telephone faucet, the Gooseneck faucet has handle choices such as white porcelain levers with hot - cold written in black, simple steel levers in the exact same finish as the tap itself or steel cross handles.
Look closely and know what you need so you can purchase the perfect faucet for your tub.
For ordering or questions, call our friendly and knowledgeable staff at our Toll-Free number (877)795-5684. When you call, ask about our FREE SHIPPING on all products.

Today, Joelle and I discovered the sapling we planted just outside our backyard had been mowed down. She was very upset. What do you think would be the common thing to say? "We can get another and plant it dear." Right? That was my temptation. Fortunately I held off and just talked and listen and hugged as she cried for quite a time that afternoon.
In another situation, a gentleman in group shared a deep doubt and emptiness. I watched and listened as some group men sought to rescue him out of this deep hard place with reassurances and affirmation. It didn't work. I didn't think it would.
Being with another deeply can only happen when we can be with our deepest emotions of longing and loss.
We so naturally respond to others like we do to ourselves. We think helping is to fix feeling. That means get rid of them as soon as possible. Not only feelings but any deep dark thoughts of emptiness and self-doubt we try to give a response to dismiss it. In both, we attempt to shut down the angst of these very deep core wounds that get manifested with thoughts and feelings as life events occur. We see these expressions of deep stirrings as a fire that needs to be put out. So as good firemen, we come to the rescue.
In men groups I lead I ask the question, "How comfortable are you with being with your own anger, sadness, fear, shame, self-doubts and emptiness?" We explore this and discuss what they try to do to detach from these deep feelings and thoughts. As they identify their compromised solutions we explore how they do something very similar in various relationships. Staying with it within ourselves very much parallels how we stay with others in those deep hard emotions and thoughts.
Staying is a waiting process. It is unhurried without an agenda to wipe anything away. It can be very uncomfortable. Growing in the deep places with others only can occur as we grow in staying in our own deep places.

Two Bardstown women were arrested recently after officers discovered drugs in a home with a minor.
The Greater Hardin County Narcotics Task Force, which has been pursuing drug crime in the area, visited an apartment at 111 E. O'Bryan Avenue July 20, according to arrest records. While there, officers performed a search of the home where they discovered suspected methamphetamine packed for sale, a glass pipe containing suspected marijuana and a syringe concealed in a purse in the bedroom closet.
Upon searching a second violator, the citation states, the woman was found to be in possession of suspected marijuana on her person and an additional search found several needles within reach of the woman's 1-year-old child. The woman told officers the needles were for methamphetamine.
The two women, Anna Sue Castleman, 23, and resident Shelby M. Centers, 23, were arrested on drug-related charges.
Castleman was charged with first-degree trafficking in controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Centers was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of a minor.

Recently one of my early couples celebrated their 5 year wedding anniversary! (Holy moly time is flying!) They'd gone to a nice dinner together and came home with the plan of snuggling on the couch and looking at their wedding photos.
The next morning I got a phone a frantic phone call. They'd tried everything, but the CD wouldn't read. So instead of snuggling on the couch reliving happy memories, they'd spent the next two hours tearing their house apart looking for their "back-up"...but she said the honest truth was they couldn't even remember if they HAD actually ever made a backup.
I could hear the tears in her voice as she said "You warned us! You told us to print them! Life just got so busy. I'm just praying you still have a few of the photos somewhere." I do. I have a mountain of hard drives and a strong attachment to my precious files.
But what if I didn't?
Last I heard, a photographer only legally has to keep files for two years. What if I had cleaned off my hard drives or they had failed after 5 years of sitting in the closet? (Which I've actually had happen.)
This situation didn't have a sad ending. But it could have. The digital era is fabulous. And dangerous. Don't let the memories of the happiest day of your life just vanish with fast changing and ever malfunctioning technology.
When you book a wedding (2017) you'll receive a USB and an online gallery. And I'm SUPER excited to announce that your downloadable galleries through me will not expire for ten years. I said TEN! But that's not going to do you a lick of good at your 50th wedding anniversary party.
Moral of this story...
Print your photos.
And I'm not just talking about a few of your favorites as 8x10 to hang on the wall. I mean EVERYTHING.
You can always order an heirloom quality print collection through your photographer or take a few hours and order through a great place like mpix.com. Department stores (Walmart, Wallgreens etc) and a lot of popular online places (Shutterfly etc) are not, I repeat, NOT what you want when you are printing precious memories. The colors are hideous, they fade, they stick, they hurt my soul...
Have an heirloom wedding album designed/built!
Do you ever remember looking through the wedding album of your grandparents or parents? I do! I spent hours looking at my parent's wedding album as a kid. And when my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary rolled around I spent days carefully scanning photos from their fragile but still very tangible album.
Don't want to pay for the wedding AND the heirloom album at the same time? No problem. A lot of my clients come back to me within the first year of their marriage and order an album. I can tell your right now. They aren't cheap. But neither was your wedding.
Having a tangible album to hold in your hands is THE way your wedding-day-story is told. And it's timeless. Don't pour your heart and soul into your wedding day and then leave the memories on a computer screen.
These aren't cheap paper page albums. They are handmade, leather-bound works of heart designed to last for generations. Don't compromise on it.
Keep your digital files backed up to the current technology.
Floppy Disks > CD/DVD > USB > Cloud > ???
If you got married five years ago your CD/DVD is basically extinct...my new computers don't even have cd-drives. USB's are currently it, but for how long? I'd speculate that the next move is that everything will be cloud-based (100 year online galleries maybe?). Which is even scarier IMHO. What if an apocalypse happened? What if your cloud storage company goes bankrupt?

Decomposition of Calcium Oxalate monohydrate CaC2O4 under Argon Atmosphere
The evolved gases from the decomposition of Calcium Oxalate have been fed into the Mass Spectrometer with a heated capillary. The ion currents for mass numbers 18 (water), 28 (carbon monoxide) and 44 (carbon dioxide) have been imported into the graph.
The main parts of cement are tri calcium silicate, di calcium silicate and tri calcium aluminates. Hydrates slowly form after mixing cement with water. The absorbed water evaporates first. Hydrates of the calcium silicate decompose at 570°C. The hydroxides of calcium, magnesium and aluminum follow. Subsequently, CO2 splits off from calcium carbonate.

Oxygen Getter Material OGM
The LINSEIS oxygen getter system (OGM) can be placed in any LINSEIS system as a modification of the sample gas capillary. It is used to getter smallest traces of residual oxygen in the sample chamber by offering a stronger oxygen affinity than sample materials, combined with a high effective surface to ensure the oxygen molecules react with the getter before they have a chance to get in touch with the sample. Especially for oxidation sensitive samples, where hydrogen gas mixtures can't be used or very small enthalpy signals are expected, the OGM is a very effective and easy to use solution. With its modular character, it can be used for special experiments and can be easily removed for measurements under air or where the oxygen content is less important.

Nanavati report raises 'needle of suspicion': CPI-MSeptember 26th, 2008 - 6:40 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Friday alleged that the "piecemeal delivering" of the Justice Nanavati Commission report on the Godhra train tragedy tends to justify the "action-reaction theory propagated by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other Sangh Parivar organisations".The CPI-M said the timing of tabling the report "was indeed suspicious" coming as it did ahead of assembly elections to some states in November.
"The second part is slated to be released on the eve of the coming general elections," the CPI-M said pointing to the report findings being presented in a piecemeal fashion,
The report has come "after an abnormally long delay and that too in a piecemeal fashion raising many needles of suspicion", the party politburo said in a statement here.
The Nanavati report, tabled in the Gujarat assembly Thursday, has virtually given a clean chit to Chief Minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet colleagues and said the 2002 Godhra train tragedy, which triggered state-wide communal riots, was a pre-planned conspiracy and not an accident.
"The piecemeal delivering of the report tends to justify the action-reaction theory propagated by Modi and the RSS-BJP-Bajrang Dal-VHP. These findings completely contradict the report of the former Supreme Court Justice U.C. Banerjee Committee, which established on the basis of forensic reports that the fire in Coach S-6 of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra was accidental," the CPI-M said.
The findings of the Nanavati report also contradict the fact that in the ongoing criminal proceedings against the Godhra accused no charge has so far been established by the concerned courts, the statement said.
"These findings also run in the face of the contradictory admissions made by various players in the Gujarat carnage as exposed by the sting operation of a private channel, 'Operation Kalank'," the CPI-M added.

NYPD testing out Smart Cars to replace scooters – New York Daily News
Scooters gotta scoot. The NYPD wants to replace its fleet of three-wheeled scooters with Smart Cars, officials said Wednesday.
Source: www.nydailynews.com
This is a great idea, but why dont they go the whole way and use driverless cars, or at least small electric cars that are good for the environment.
Just a thought perhaps they will.
Smart cars to replace three wheelers
When you look at the three wheelers, that the NYPD use at the moment, they remind me of a squashed up Reliant Robin. The Reliant Robin was made famous here in the UK by the excellent "Only Fools and Horses" TV series, which went on for a number of years.
I have been lucky enough to visit New York and have seen the Police driving about on these three wheelers, which are just really covered motorcycles. I was very surprised to see the price tag of $27000 each, which I thought was on the high side, compared to the price of a car?
The three wheelers are made by a company called "Cushman" and started out in Nebraska, making 2-stroke engines for the fishing boat industry. They then began to make three wheel lightweight vans and went under the name of "Cushman Motor Works".
The vans developed over the years are become useful in small spaces such as for Mail vans and airport vehicles, as well as for use in factories and of course by the NYPD in New York. As I have mentioned earlier they do remind me of the Reliant Robin three wheelers that we had here in the UK, even down to the single front wheel and two wheels at the rear.
The Cushman's are powered by an 18m horse power engine and can reach speeds of 35 mph, making it easier to police the narrow streets of the inner cities, than walking about on foot.
Smart cars may take over the three wheelers
We have all seen the little Smart cars bobbing about our towns and cities, and the NYPD have taken stock of nine of them as an experiment to replace the three wheelers with them.
The Smart cars was originally a joint production venture by Mercedes, the giant German car manufacturer and the Swiss watch maker Swatch. However Swatch pulled out of the venture leaving Mercedes to build the car in Hambach, France. Although Mercedes had another Mini car in progress, the MCC or Mercedes City Coupe, they took on the task of continuing with the Smart Cars production in France.
The little cars are made from all sorts of parts that are sourced in Europe. With some having Japanese engines, this is one of the reasons that I wrote this article, because I am very surprised at the NYPD buying non-American products to replace the all American three wheelers.
I suppose you could say that the Smart Cars are an up-marketing project, because they would give more comfort, with air-conditioning and heating with an airbag for driver safety, also
the response to an incident would be quicker and in actual fact the Smart cars workout cheaper than the three wheelers.
Not my usual stuff, but I thought it was an interesting story. I wonder also why did the New York authorities take the chance of using Smaller Electric vehicles that would also help with the cities emission figures?

Language Development in the Spectator Role. Language in the Classroom: A Series. 8.
Robertson, J. D.
This pamphlet is the eighth in a series of ten stemming from the view that language is central to learning, that teachers can gain insights into their work and into learning by examining the language of the classroom, and that current language theory can be the means to such insights. The pamphlet contains a discussion of the uses of language in the spectator role. It discusses make-believe play and the reading of fairy tales, novels, drama, and poetry as examples of this role and contends that these activities can be a means of developing a child's imagination as a tool of self-discovery. Transcripts of children's play activities and selections from essays, children's books, and poems are used throughout. (FL)

Honey Whole Wheat Bread
I'm just going to come out and admit it "I can't make bread". Yes, I am a cake baker and love all things baking but I have always had the worst time baking bread for some odd reason. Either it was too dry, too wet, didn't raise, or just tasted like crap. Until now!
I just want to give a huge shout out to my good friend Amanda who gave me this recipe out of the kindness of her heart.
One night over dinner she had admitted she didn't have a Kitchenaid mixer and my heart sank. I was like who doesn't own a Kitchenaid? I think my life would end without it. Ok, it wouldn't END but it would really really REALLY SUCK.
She finally got a Kitchenaid because she made the family homemade bread. So it dawned on me one day after one of my bread failures. Why don't I ask Amanda for her bread recipe and see if I can tackle that recipe.
I didn't really have much optimism in making this bread and it had nothing to do with the recipe or who I got it from I have just had that many failures.
So to my HUGE surprise I NAILED IT. I don't even exaggerate when I say this is the easiest bread to make and the BEST tasting sandwich, toast, anything bread I have ever had. I have stopped buying that store bought crap that smells awful.
Did I mention my hubby is a wheat farmer 😉 Yes, I know I do a lot of gluten free recipes on here and I am truly very sensitive to gluten and wheat. I don't get stomach aches or anything but I will get migraines within an hour after eating wheat.
To my surprise I can eat this bread sparingly and I do just fine with no reactions. Not sure if it's the fact that it's fresh and no added crap mixed in but it's amazing.
Anyway I am rambling and going off topic. So the hubby is a wheat farmer so needless to say I have access to some pretty great wheat to make flour. I recently got a Dry Grain Flour Grinder attachment for my Vitamix from my lovely mother. Now I can grind any kind of grain fresh.
So I take 2 cups of whole wheat berries and grind them to make 3 cups of whole wheat flour. It literally is so quick and easy I never get tired of making this bread.
I don't have pictures yet of making this bread because it is literally so easy anyone can do it but I will get some up soon. This is the ultimate sandwich bread too. After about 3 days it is still moist and never crumbled while your eating your sandwich.
Here is your end result
Honey Whole Wheat Bread
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Berries (ground to 3 cups whole wheat flour)
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup shortening
- 2 T active yeast
- 1½ T Chia Meal (ground chia seeds)
- 2¼ cup very warm water
- 1 T. Sea Salt
- 3½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 T. Olive Oil
- In your Kitchenaid bowl combine your ground whole wheat flour, chia meal, shortening, salt, honey, yeast, and warm water. Mix until well combined with your dough hook. Add your remaining all purpose flour until you have a wet yet not sticky dough. Add your olive oil. Knead with dough hook for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a greased bowl to let rise for roughly an hour until doubled. Punch down after doubled.
- Form your loaves by dividing dough in half and roll out flat on your counter. Roll the dough up like your making cinnamon rolls. Tuck in your ends under the loaf and place in your greased bread pan. At this point you can make rolls as well. Cover your bread pans with plastic wrap so your dough doesn't dry out. Let raise until doubled or about 30 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes until the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven, melt butter over top of loaves and let cool on cooling rack for an hour or 2.
- Enjoy!
