Local Information: Co. Dublin
Tour Code: 6785DUBHOWT01
Duration: 6 hours
People say you haven't seen the real Ireland until you've left Dublin and seen the countryside. This 6-hour guided day trip to the peninsula of Howth will do just that. After a short train ride, stroll around the area along seaside cliffs looking at ancient Viking ruins, Howth Castle, St Mary's Abbey, Neolithic standing stones, 18th-century coastal defenses and W.B. Yeats' boyhood home.
Meet your guide in central Dublin to begin your 6-hour tour. After a 25-minute train ride, arrive in Howth. Stroll the hilly landscape, taking in the fresh sea air and walking along the cliffs. Let your guide regale you with historical tales of the area, particularly about the Vikings who first arrived in the 9th century.
Hear how the name Howth is possibly derived from hǫfuð, an ancient Norse word for 'head,' which makes sense as this peninsula is also called Howth Head and was inhabited by Vikings centuries ago. It is home to one of Ireland's oldest structures, the imposing Howth Castle. Lovers of Irish literature might recall it is the spot where Leopold Bloom proposed to Molly in James Joyce's novel Ulysses.
On clear days, Howth offers a great view of Dublin and, if you squint, you can sometimes see as far as Northern Ireland and Wales. The area also boasts Howth Castle (which you will walk past), one of the oldest occupied buildings in all of Ireland. Learn about its intriguing history and its place in Irish culture as you soak up the views. Lighthouses, Viking and medieval ruins, remnants from the Neolithic age and W.B. Yeats' boyhood home are just a few of the other sights you may see.
When you've built up a hunger, stop into the Summit restaurant for a traditional Howth seafood meal, which is discounted for your tour group (or feel free to bring your own lunch, if you wish).
At the end of the tour, simply hop back on the train for Dublin. Or, if you're smitten with the real Ireland, feel free to stay a bit longer and sip a pint of beer in one of the great pubs that sprinkle the area.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.

Sitting in La Terrasse du 7ème, a busy Parisian café just down the street from where Napoleon Bonaparte received his military training at the imposing Ecole Militaire, I was overcome with panic. Before being seated, I'd cautiously asked the headwaiter, David, who was impeccably dressed in a lavender-colored shirt, if he spoke English. He smiled and answered that yes, he did. Then, I bravely gave him my French-language gluten-free dining card. He read it, tucked it into his pocket, gave me a menu, and then walked away. A few minutes later, a different waiter appeared. He didn't speak English and he didn't have my card.
Already self-conscious about my inability to speak French, and very much aware of the reputation for rudeness among French waiters, I wondered if I'd gone too far by not only speaking English to David, but also by having given instructions about what I could and could not eat. According to most accounts, it was going to be difficult for me to get gluten-free meals in France. The main reason being that celiac disease still is not well-known in France. It was also pointed out that French chefs don't take kindly to being told how to prepare food. Dinner at La Terrasse was my first stab at dining out in Paris, and it didn't seem to be going well.
My friend, Sharleen, and I had arrived in Paris about eight hours earlier, flying into the smaller of the city's two airports, Orly. It was the first time in the City of Lights for both of us and we were excited about visiting the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Musée du Louvre. Yet we both also wondered how we'd fare in a place infamous for its disdain of anyone who can't speak the local language, overall insolence, and dislike of Americans (though Sharleen is from New Zealand).
It didn't take long to bump into our first trial - the airport assistant whose sole job, it seemed, was to help bewildered tourists navigate the ticket machines for the public buses. Surely he had a right to get testy with foreigners. "Parlez-vous anglais?" I asked. "Yes, a little," came the mildly-accented and modest reply, followed-up with friendly instructions to catch the Air France Bus that shuttles passengers to various downtown destinations. He said we should buy our tickets directly from the bus driver.
Ah, yes, the bus driver. Balding, round-faced, and squinty-eyed. He hated his job and apparently everyone who boarded his bus. Spouting commands I didn't understand, he glared down from his imperial perch as we struggled to hoist our bags up the narrow bus steps, his eyes daring us to speak a word to him in anything but French. "Deux," (two) I said, counting out exact change in euro. Then, after having carefully observed the movements of the person in front of me, I plucked my tickets from the onboard ticket machine and found a seat, feeling a little weary.
If there's one thing I've learned from all my years of travel, it's that no matter where I go, there will always be those people who are pleasant, and those who are not! The classically-dressed lady to whom I asked with a quizzical lilt in my voice, "Métro" - she was nice. Though I didn't know the words she spoke, her motions said to follow her from the shuttle bus to the subway station because she was going that way, too. The man who worked at the Métro ticket counter, he was just indifferent. Or maybe lazy. My guidebook said a carnet (10 single tickets sold for a discounted price) could be purchased from either a human or a machine. The Métro worker pointed to the machine.
Riding two stops to the Ecole Militaire subway station, we emerged onto a busy street and walked the short distance to the Hotel Eber Mars. Nearby were numerous restaurants and shops, including a health food store called Naturalia that had a great selection of gluten-free food. From the hotel, it was then another easy walk to the Eiffel Tower, which was the first place we headed after we checked in, dumped our bags, and munched on fruit, nuts, cheese, and snack bars we'd brought with us.
The weather in April that Sunday afternoon was sunny and warm. Families with young children picnicked and frolicked on the grassy expanse of the Parc Du Champ De Mars that stretches from Ecole Militaire to the base of the Eiffel Tower. Young people quietly congregated in circles to socialize, sip wine, and play their guitars. The scene certainly looked enticing, but we had other plans – an energizing and unique orientation bike tour of the city.
The Fat Tire Bike Tour group that day consisted mostly of Americans. Ranging in age from mid-20s to 50s, and from a variety of backgrounds, we peddled together past a dozen or so well-known sights, including Napoleon's Tomb, the Rodin Museum, and Musée d'Orsay. While not strenuous, especially since there were numerous information and photo-op stops, the tour did require a bit of nerve to venture into Paris' wide and heavily trafficked streets. Our reward was a light refreshment reprieve at a charming outdoor café in Tuileries Garden. Most of us imbibed in a glass of wine; many of us commented on the brilliant blue sky, the leafy green chestnut trees that shaded us, and the warm and friendly demeanor of our waiter. We all agreed Paris was beautiful.
It was with that same warm and fuzzy feeling that Sharleen and I selected La Terrasse du 7ème for our first French meal. We both thought the menu could satisfy our dietary needs (she eats vegetarian), and the place itself looked every bit the classic Parisian café, with small intimate tables spilling out onto the wide city sidewalk, all of them positioned for optimal people-watching. When I'd presented the headwaiter with my dining card, he hadn't appeared offended, and I assumed he took it to the kitchen for a small tête-à-tête with the chef about what meal they could provide for me.
Prior to my trip to Paris, I had, like always, researched the destination in order to pinpoint both my sightseeing priorities and possible places to eat. While my list of things to see outlasted the amount of time I had, information about gluten-free food was short. At one time someone had started a website specifically for celiacs in Paris, but it no longer exists. The celiac listserv provided the name of only one restaurant known for its celiac awareness, and it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays – the two full days of my trip. So I was winging it, relying only on a few guidebook references i.e. "good dinner salads," and my French-language dining card.
Breakfasts in Paris were surprising fairly easy, as long as I didn't breathe in the sweet aroma of just-baked pastries that are a staple of the French diet. Though not freshly baked, the health food store did sell packaged gluten-free chocolate croissants that satisfied me. Lunch was generally eaten on the go, much as we did prior to the bike tour, supplemented with yogurt, cheese, and fresh fruit purchased at one of the many small grocery stores around the city.
For me, shopping in the local stores is often as exciting as visiting the prominent landmarks. At a shoe store on Rue Cler, near my hotel, I was on a mission to find the perfect pair of ballet shoes, the latest style in Paris. The store is owned by a father-son team. The father spoke not a word of English, and he knew I didn't speak French, but that didn't stop him from talking. The son, who spoke some English, seemed genuinely thrilled we were there, and was eager to know what we thought of Paris, how we found the people, and did we like the food.
Yes, we loved the food. At La Terrasse, once I gesticulated wildly enough to the slightly confused (or was he slightly amused?) waiter, he understood that I wanted to speak with the headwaiter. Approaching the table with my dining card in hand, David didn't know why I needed him. Apparently, I'd been too wrapped up thinking my celiac disease would give the French another reason not to like me, and hadn't realized they'd make for me whatever I wanted. A silly thought, I know, because celiac disease does not define who I am, only what I can and cannot eat.
That night I dined on a thick medium-well done steak (the French like their meat rare), and the most incredible butter-drenched garden-fresh green beans I've ever eaten. David recommended a glass of full-bodied red wine from the French Côtes du Rhône region. The next night, dead on our feet after wondering about the Louvre for several hours, we ate in the underground shopping mall food court located near the inverted pyramid of the Louvre. I showed my dining card to the two young women working at a place called Le Libanan, and enjoyed a filling meal of Lebanese roast chicken, fava beans, and a cucumber and tomato salad. Probably the easiest gluten-meal I found in Paris was an omelet. Served for lunch and dinner at many cafes, it's often accompanied by a simple green salad.
My most elaborate meal in Paris was at Les Fous de l'Ile, located on the Ile St. Louis, the little dinghy of an island attached only by a bridge to the historical core of Paris, the Ile de la Cité. My dining partner was a young doctor I'd met two days earlier on the bike tour. By chance, we found ourselves standing in line together at the Musée d'Orsay, waiting to view French Impressionism art of the 1800s, and agreed it'd be fun to have lunch together afterwards at a typical French bistro. Confidently presenting my dining card to the owner/chef of Les Fous (who did not speak English), I got the better meal – a fancy crawfish appetizer and a simple main meal of salmon and vegetables in parchment paper. My new friend ordered andouillette, a fat sausage casing filled with tripe. Much like people, some foods are pleasant. Some are not!

text: 05 June 2009If watching the highs and lows of Britain's Got Talent over the last few weeks has made me feel anything - apart from general excitement! - it's a reminder of how much more I love the X Factor. It's the perfect show to help you wind down after a jam packed summer and, although the audition stages are the episodes that make me laugh the most, I love that it helps really talented people finally realise their dreams.I know there's still a few months to go but I've just found out that, despite reported fallings out at the end of the last series, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole are set to be on the same judging panel for the show year. Dannii has flown back from Australia and is getting a pay rise so that she's on the same wage as Cheryl - as of course she should be. Dannii started on the show back in 2007 and judged alongside Simon, Louis and Sharon Osbourne - who famously slammed celebs for not owning up to cosmetic surgery. But the feisty wife of rocker Ozzy didn't get on well with Dannii and said she'd leave at the end of the season, when she was then replaced by Cheryl. There were loads of rumours at the time that Dannii was uncomfortable about being put on the panel with a fellow judge who's so much younger (there's an eleven year age gap between the two) but Dannii looks stunning for 37. Apparently with a little help from cosmetic surgery, she had a boob job when she was younger and has used fillers since. The X-Factor will be back on our screens in August and I can't wait! Britain's Got Talent was certainly a roller coaster ride this year, but the X-Factor is still my favourite - I think it's the chemistry between the judges that really does it for me, although I do wonder if Botox-fan Simon Cowell ever has time for anything other than sitting behind one of those desks and saying nasty things.

It's one of the more difficult aspects of management…dealing with staff who are absent more often than would commonly be expected. Learn More
Unplanned absence from work is said to cost over 40 million work days per year in the UK alone, which is a huge percentage of production time lost.
Is there anything you can do to manage absenteeism without risking claims of discrimination? Yes, there is. There are several things you can do to protect your team and business, including a) understand the scale of the problem, b) discover the underlying causes and c) take a positive and methodical approach to solving the problem. You can read some interesting ways to get absentees back to work here
First, can you actually measure the effects of absence?
One way is the Bradford Factor, which takes account of the fact that persistent short spells of absence are much more costly and disruptive than occasional long ones. It measures irregularity of attendance as follows:
Bradford Factor = S x S x D
In this equation, S = the number of spells of absence over a time period (say, one year), and D is the number of days absence in the same period.
For example, if a person has been absent for one period of 10 days, the figures would read: 1 x 1 x 10, which equals 10.
But if they were absent for 10 separate days over the same period, the figures would read: 10 x 10 x 10, which equals 1,000.
It may only be a crude measure, but many employers use the scale as a realistic comparison of disruption.
So, you need to formulate a policy in order to tackle absenteeism effectively. The most effective absence management policies are based on the following principles:
* A balance of concern for cost and concern for people
* Keeping people informed
* Quality Information
Whatever your absence management policy, there are some actions you can take to help you achieve better results in this area:
Act Early: If you notice increase in absence or changes in the pattern of absences, investigate and take action before it becomes a major problem. You don't want it to become so overlooked that it is seen by some as an acquired right to extra leave.
Seek Advice Early: Some issues may involve medical, psychological, legal and contractual situations, so try to get specialist advice before making any decisions on how to approach it. Avoid impulsive decisions and actions, and get HR or your people development department involved. Talk about chances and opportunities for transitional roles for the person who is the subject of your absence enquiries.
Be Methodical: Collect data consistently and carefully. Keep good records, see that everyone has a return-to-work interview and communicate fully and completely with people involved. This way fairness and relevance never becomes an issue of contention.
Be aware that some people may take absence because they have outgrown their role and are 'rebelling' against the systems or processes you are running. Boredom can be just as stressful as overwork, so be aware of the rationale people use to justify their being away from work.
If it has become a real problem, discuss other opportunities the person may have within or without your department. You don't want to pass the problem onto someone else within your organisation, but you cannot afford to carry passengers, so let the person know that you need their help in dealing with the issue as well.
That way, you are offering them the chance to deal with their absence issues in an adult and professional way. Help the person to realise the impact their absence is having on results and their team mates. Employ a culture of care within the department, and encourage people to bring their problems to you before they become the foundation of a culture of absence.

Absenteeism is a real bugbear in business today.UK workers have an average 10 days unscheduled absence from their jobs each year, around twice that of their counterparts in the US (5.5 days) and Asia-Pacific (4.5 days), but on a par with Western Europe (9.7 days). Sickness accounts for around 80% of absence, which also covers jury service and compassionate leave.
With the average UK salary around £25,000, absenteeism is costing British business approximately £32 billion each year, far more than previous studies have suggested. This figure is also likely to be conservative, as it reflects direct cost of absence and does not take into account potential replacement costs and lost productivity.
Richard Phelps, HR consulting partner at PwC, said:
"While sometimes absence from work is unavoidable, once people see colleagues frequently taking unscheduled leave, absence becomes less of a dilemma and more of a right. Breaking the cycle can be hard. Retailers take a robust approach, with pay docked almost immediately. With retail resignation rates substantially higher than other sectors, some could argue this is hindering morale. But with a largely unskilled, often temporary staff base, boosting engagement is extremely difficult."
And as I see it, that's the key…engagement. I always ask managers to look at the root causes of any unauthorised absenteeism, and very often it is caused by people not being challenged enough or having the chance to make a real difference in their jobs.
Reducing employee absenteeism requires sustained effort and the first and the foremost step in this direction is to provide coaching to the team leaders/managers to see how the job can be manufactured to make it enjoyable, challenging and using the specific skills that will stretch the employee to show how they can contribute.
Managers should also be provided with training to improve their interpersonal skills. They should also be reminded that the power they have has to be used to make the organisation a better place to work, not to boss around and put people off. This will not only help you in addressing employee absenteeism, but also in tackling issues like high employee turnover ratios, and low morale in the workplace.
Having a clear leave policy is essential if you don't want your employees to abuse their privileges. It is important that you explain all the policies to your employees when you recruit them so that there is no scope for miscommunication. This helps especially in case of large organizations where it is virtually impossible to keep an eye on every employee.
Having an effective communication system helps in maintaining transparency and keeps rumor mongers at bay. It dispels negativity and makes employees feel that they are being recognised as a part of the organisation. Trusting your employees by giving them more responsibilities instills a sense of confidence in them and creates a good atmosphere in the workplace.
So think how the job itself is motivating the employee. Ensure you give opportunities for growth and expansion, make sure the work is invigorating and interesting, and you will have more reasons for people to contribute by being part of the solution rather than adding to the problem.
Thanks again

Warder murder accused took part in Ardoyne anti-parade protest
A Republican charged with the murder of prison officer Adrian Ismay was among a group of protesters who shouted abuse at police during an Orange Order parade in north Belfast.
Christopher 'Christy' Robinson was pictured holding a GARC 'March Where You're Welcome' poster as loyalists walked past the Ardoyne shops on the morning of the Twelfth. At the weekend North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds called on police to investigate whether the 45-year-old had breached his strict bail conditions.
The DUP man said: "Robinson's presence at this protest merits an immediate investigation."
Prison officer Mr Ismay died of a heart attack in March, just 11 days after a New IRA booby-trap bomb exploded under his van in east Belfast. The following month Christy Robinson was charged with his murder and possessing explosives, but later freed on bail under strict conditions.
These include not being allowed to travel in private vehicles and wearing an electronic tag to monitor his movements.
The courts also banned Robinson from leaving his address in the Twinbrook estate in west Belfast between 9pm and 8am.
But despite these restrictions he was able to show up in Ardoyne at 8.30am on the morning of the Twelfth - eight miles away from his home - to take part in the anti-parading protest.
The DUP MP has demanded answers as to how he was able to take part in the GARC protest, and whether he breached his bail conditions by doing so.
He added: "It would seem that the concept of 'Greater Ardoyne' now extends as far as Twinbrook." Mr Dodds also queried how "Robinson could have travelled approximately eight miles across Belfast on public transport on the 12th morning to be at this protest whilst keeping the conditions of his bail".
Witnesses at the Ardoyne shops said Robinson was among republicans who shouted insults at Orangemen and PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton, who was there overseeing the policing operation.

WILTON, Conn., -- A Weston woman was more than three times the legal alcohol limit when she had an accident with a 6-year-old child in her vehicle on Feb. 25, Wilton Police said.
Hilary Flora, 58, of 203 Newtown Turnpike Road, Weston, was charged with driving under the influence and risk of injury to a child. She was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
A motorist made a 911 call after a driver who had been driving erratically in the area of Sturges Ridge Road and Cedar Road was involved in a minor accident, police said.
When officers arrived, they quickly determined that alcohol was a factor in the crash, police said.
The motorist, identified as Flora, performed a breathalyzer test, and police said a blood alcohol level of .2769 was recorded, more than three times the legal limit of .08.
Police said the 6-year-old is a relative of Flora but declined to specify the relationship.

On May 6th, 2013 I interviewed Yaron Brook, Executive Director of the Ayn Rand Institute on the campus of the University of Toronto. Dr. Brook was in Toronto to speak on the morality of capitalism which is the focus of his latest book Free Market Revolution – How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government. We discussed the success of the Ayn Rand Institute in Canada, the virtues of being selfish, and end with the disastrous, self-sacrificial foreign policies of Israel and how that country is not doing enough to ensure its security.

Definition of Wayism
A widespread ontology, worldview, lifestyle and philosophy expounded by the in the 1st century CE spiritual teacher Iesous. Iesous was also known as Jesus, Yesu, Issa, and Oesho, depending on areas where he worked. Iesous worked in Egypt, the Mid-East and India.
Since Wayism first took root in 1st century India among Hindus involved in the upcoming Bhakti Movement, it was once known as the Yoga of Jesus. By the end of the 1st century, Wayism was incorporated into Mahayana Buddhism with the advent of the Pure Land schools of thought. Wayism lies at the root of Christianity, a Judaic reform movement created by the spiritual teacher Paul toward the mid-first century CE. The spiritual teacher Thomas, a devotee of Iesous started Wayist Church of the East in Kashmir, India during the early 40s of the 1st century.
There is a mystical, devotional, side to Wayism that finds expression in a number of religious-style movements, The Pure Land Tradition, Church of the East and Wayist Church, for example.
Wayism is more popular in the West as a philosophical lifestyle and worldview based on the tenets listed below.
Wayist teaching is succinctly captured in the authoritative book, WAYISM: The Primary Text available from the publisher, Amazon and other booksellers
Basic Tenets of Wayism
- The three attitudes of Humility, Simplicity and Compassion are central to all Wayist philosophy and function as a test and standard for all things. Everything is subjected to this test whether a religious doctrine, a holy scripture, or the words of someone's god. If it does not conform to Humility, Simplicity and Compassion it is judged to be unprofitable as soul nurture and is discarded.
- Earth is a school for souls to learn Wisdom.
- Karma brings neither punishment nor reward, but regulates the curriculum in the School of Life. It will always bring along the most appropriate lessons, projects, tests, and exams to make sure that all soul beings will master the skill of spiritual perfection no matter how long it takes.
- Dharma is one's inherent Wisdom, gathered over many lifetimes. The Wisdom we have, dictate our response to situations, dictate our ability to be peaceful, live in loving-kindness, make positive contributions t society ad the lives of others, to live selflessly, resist injustice and be a benefit to society at large.
- Wisdom is to be had ONLY by living full and authentic lives, making use of every and any learning opportunity that Karma can bring along. Spiritual sloth, is a waste of a lifetime which triggers very interesting Karma for the next life.
- Once sufficient wisdom is learned by the soul, over many incarnations, the soul starts to metamorphose and change into a spiritual being.
- Wisdom (not knowledge) is learned/achieved primarily through living full and authentic human lives
- The highest wisdom is learned in, and expressed as loving-kindness, only learned through practice of service to all sentient beings, whom Iesous called, "our neighbours".
- Spiritual beings are creatures, often entitled as gods by soul beings because of their superior wisdom (love) and metaphysical nature.
- There is no need or desire to define the Creator. There is an urgent need to NOT attempt to define the Creator. The Creator, defies definition and anything said about It/That is limiting.
- The senior spiritual being in charge of Sukhavati / Heaven, father's our spirits-in-the-making. He is without gender. He is our Father in Heaven. He is titled, in Sanskrit, Illimitable Light (of wisdom) amita abha, Amitabha. In Buddhist language, Amitabha Buddha. In Hindu and western thought, Amitabha God our Father in Heaven. By definition, Amitabha God is omnibenevolent. It is not possible for this Being to be anything but absolute Love.
- No spiritual beings are in charge of Earth, as there are no beings in charge of any other planet. The Way and various metaphysical and natural laws flowing from the One keep this planet going.
- The creative energies of the Immutable One run through all of creation, upholds and maintains All. Soul beings and spiritual beings have sensory capabilities to be aware of the Divine Presence in all things. This awareness, this awe, forms an important aspect of Wayist spirituality and its understanding of evolution of the soul. This leads to the esoteric teaching called Sacred Sensuality.
Wayism Ontology
- From the Creator, the One, emanates a perpetual creative energy that upholds all of creation
- That energy exhibits itself to us in the form of Two, male and female qualities, Yang and Yin, as some say or Father and Mother is preferred by other. It is this energy that carries with it the blueprint for all, including the purpose of life o souls and spirits, and the mechanisms by which they evolve (reincarnation, karma, dharma), live and die. We refer to this is The Way, the Plan and Will of the One as it pertains to creation.
- From the Two we sense the three attitudes inherent in all of creation, which some call the Gunas.
- From the three, we sense the uncountable numbers of things in creation.
- There is nothing that a spiritual being or soul being can do to impact or effect The Way. No manner of praise, pleading, or bribery can change the Way. The Way happens for us, will it, want it, or not.
Wayism and the path to enlightenment
- Enlightenment is a process that may take many reincarnations to accomplish
- To live an authentic and full life is equated with paying attention at school, seeking learning opportunities in diverse subjects and courses.
- To "own your own mind" and refuse group-minds to think for you, dictate their moral codes to you, and limit your human experience is essential. "Culturally conditioned thinking" is labelled as the Wayist's greatest enemy.
- Learn, practise and live loving-kindness, humility, simplicity and compassion
- Once the soul gains sufficient wisdom of loving-kindness (heart chakra), a mini enlightenment takes place.
- From this point forward, the soul starts to change, metamorphose, into a spiritual being. Humility, simplicity, compassion, loving-kindness and service to others increases. The soul develops "spiritual mind) 5th chakra and starts to comprehend spiritual teaching. To this effect, Iesous often said to questioners who had not yet developed that faculty, that his teaching is not for them.
- Contemplate and live according to the essential truths of the nature of things.
- Enlightenment and rebirth happens.
The Nature of Things
These teachings are expounded in several (mostly Sanskrit) treatise dating back almost 2,000 years. A most basic synopsis of the teaching is:
- Only The One is eternal, all else are created, temporary and are in flux
- The ant's ability to fathom the depths of machinations that govern our solar system is equated with the human's ability to fathom the One and Its creations - before we can observe even one cycle of the many cycles of creations, several reincarnations have been spent.
- Knowledge is in flux, and is mostly folly
- For the soul, the only 'permanent' thing is wisdom. It is the only, the only, thing we carry with us from one life to the next and into metamorphosis to heaven.
- Our attitude, is the ONLY thing over which we have control.
- Nothing is as it appears. The permanence, even the existence of anything is a construct of our body-mind tinted by our attitude. All things are without true substance. The only true substance from a soul's point of view is wisdom, and the future spiritual existence.
- The concept of who you are, is a construct of your body-mind. Rise above that awareness and guard against clichéd group think. Develop spiritual-mind.
- Human language and human thinking is primitive to say the least, it is necessarily fraught with inadequate symbolism. Never sweat the small things, the nuances in teachings, seeming differences in things. Seek the broader view in assured trust that all things are in The Way.
Wayist Lifestyle
- Continually eradicate culturally conditioned thinking and re-evaluate your beliefs, priorities and lifestyle.
- Own your own mind, if you don't, someone else will
- Set the three jewels Humility, Simplicity and Compassion as your standard for all things
- Continued awareness of the Presence of the Divine in all things is essential
- Live in service to humankind. Fearlessly resist evil doers and spread loving-kindness, wisdom, beauty, compassion and peace to all.
- Engender in your soul a love for the wisdom and peace gained from mystical union with the Father, Lord and spiritual beings. This is amrita, soul food without which the soul may wither in malnutrition.
- Be disciplined and focussed, be the best student in Soul School Earth. Every day, every waking and sleeping moment learning opportunities are brought to you from which you may learn, advance and move ahead to the Light.
- Be mindful in every thought and action of the kind of rebirth you may need in the next life to teach you lessons that you shunned in this life.
- "Not doing, is most often worse than doing". Slight, laziness or unwillingness to go to the trouble to speak out when society goes in the wrong direction, is often worse than going in the wrong direction yourself. You may go down that lane but soon see your folly. But to not speak out, to not correct your children and your society contributes to spoiling it because of your laziness. Spoiled food, people and societies become garbage and if not removed from society will cause disease. It is your compassion that drives you to take the hard, often lonely, road.
Wayism as organization
Wayism is not centrally organized as a movement. It was an awareness that was incorporated into many religions. However, that said, as of the 1990s in the West, Wayist teaching is regulated from within one organization brought to life for the purpose of keeping the teaching pure. Known as International Association of Wayist Organizations, acronym WAWO, the organization bring together the most suitable Wayist teachers to put forward the essential Wayist teaching in its purest and simplest form. These individuals are, as the three wise men of the 1st century, from Buddhist, Daoist and Hindu backgrounds; lately also Christian teachers joined the council.
The organization has no influence over Wayist-style movements around the world, such as Tendai, Pure Land, Chen/Zen, etc. The organization's aim is to make pure teaching available in the West.
What is considered "pure teaching", that is Wayist teaching stripped of colouring and embroidering added over the ages by traditional and cultural movements.
The organization will, for the time being affect ordination, training and licensing of Wayist teachers in the West.
International Association of Wayist Organizations (IAWO) in India and http://wayism.org" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips">Wayism Association of Wayist Organizations in North America cooperate to maintain an international membership of bona-fide Wayist organizations. This senior body in Wayism International guards the purity of Wayist teaching worldwide.
Wayism has a mystical side that is considered optional for practitioners. http://wayist.org" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips">Wayist Mysticism is devotional practice centered on Avalokiteshvara (Christ) and Amitabha Buddha (Father in Heaven).
- Wayism was referenced by Gene Rodenberry in a television series Andromeda as a fictional inter-galactic religion of peace and harmony.
- Wayism is referenced in futuristic video games
- Wayism is often used by spurious quasi-religious groups to name their 'religion' because it shares a few of the elements of Wayism proper. The element most attractive to these people is usually Wayism's inclusiveness of all sentient beings. The fact that these 'religions' use the name Wayism without qualification is viewed by the public as an attempt to mislead, or fraud.

LOS ANGELES – LOS ANGELES -- Zsa Zsa Gabor was doing well after surgery to amputate her right leg -- an operation that doctors said was necessary to save her life, her publicist said Friday.
Gabor's blood pressure and heart rate were normal and she was resting comfortably hours after her surgery, publicist John Blanchette said. He said she'll be in the hospital for another week or two and hopefully will be home by her 94th birthday on Feb. 6.
Gabor was being watched carefully, but there were no complications, doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said.
"The surgery today went well, however, she is in frail health so we will continue to monitor her closely," said Dr. David Rigberg, associate professor of vascular surgery.
Gabor, who had an infection in her leg for several months, was hospitalized on Jan. 2 after efforts to save her leg with antibiotics failed.
Gabor broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July, and has been hospitalized several times since for swelling in her legs and blood clots throughout her body. Publicist John Blanchette said the wounds wouldn't heal, so doctors had no choice but to operate.
"Ms. Gabor needed an amputation above her knee due to poor circulation and a large ulcerated area on her right leg," Rigberg said. "After consulting with her husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, we felt this was the best medical course of action."
In August, Gabor was in critical condition and asked for a priest during a hospital visit. She recovered and returned home.
Gabor has used a wheelchair since she was partially paralyzed in a 2002 car accident, and she had a stroke in 2005.
She retreated from the spotlight after the accident and stroke. She liked staying home and watching soap operas, game shows and old movies, husband von Anhalt told reporters in July. She detested having her picture taken by the paparazzi while she was in her wheelchair.
"She wants people to remember her as she was years ago," he said then.
A Hungarian-born sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s, Gabor had a brief and unremarkable film career, from "Moulin Rouge" in 1952 to "Queen of Outer Space" in 1958.
Her primary role was herself, dripping in glamour during TV special and game show appearances and uttering her trademark "dahling." She was also thrust into the international spotlight during a three-week trial for slapping a Beverly Hills policeman in 1989.
An hour after the surgery, Gabor's husband said, she was still in a deep sleep. "She's going to be OK," he said.
Before the surgery, they didn't talk about the operation, he said. "We didn't want her to get a heart attack and we did not want her to have blood pressure problems," van Anhalt said.

text: My family love to eat out, especially in Italian restaurants. Sometimes it can be an expensive business. Pasta is one of our favourites and the classic arrabiata is delicious. I decided to try to emulate this restaurant dish at home and it became a firm family favourite. Quick, simple, inexpensive and filling...a real winner 😀 Put the water on to boil for the pasta...use a large pan with one teaspoon of saltWhile the water is heating, prepare the fresh ingredients.Dice the onion, finely slice the red chillis, crush or finely chop the garlic cloves, finely chop the fresh parsley and grate the Parmesan and lemon zest. Add pasta to boiling water, put a little oil in the water with the pasta if required as this will prevent the pasta sticking together.Fry all the fresh ingredients in a little olive oil. Starting with the onions, garlic and chilli.Once the onions, garlic and chilli have cooked, add the passatta, then the dried parsley, dried chilli flakes then salt and pepper.Allow the above ingredients to simmer gently together until the pasta is almost cooked.Drain the pasta.Turn down the heat under your sauce and gently stir in the single cream and 2/3rds of the fresh parsley.Return the drained pasta to its large cooking pan and gently pour over the sauce, mixing together well.Serve the pasta in bowls and garnish with the Parmesan, lemon zest and freshly cracked black pepper.A little oil in the pasta pan will help to separate the pasta. Leave the pasta a little 'al dente'' as it will absorb more sauce later for extra taste. Meat can be added to this dish for variety (I'm a vegetarian so I don't use it but my kids love it with chicken or smokey sausage and bacon). Chillis and herbs can be grown easily on pots or tins on your windowsill if you like them extra fresh. Fresh chillies, onions and herbs can be chopped in advance and frozen until required, they can be used from frozen. This dish is gorgeous with some garlic bread on the side to mop up any extra sauce.

Some of the most memorable art hits at just the right moment to express the full complexity of a great changeover. The Rite of Spring, with Igor Stravinsky's score, Vaslav Nijinsky's choreography and Nicholas Roerich's libretto and design, slammed into the European consciousness a century ago with such force that the audience rioted.
Today, cultural dynamics are smaller, faster and less coherent. We don't riot; we change the channel. But artists still make tumultuous work. Two of them—choreographer Bill T. Jones and director Anne Bogart—premiere their dance-theater work A Rite at UNC-Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall this weekend.
Jones has brought his company to the American Dance Festival in Durham many times. For her theater work, Bogart has collected two Obies, a Bessie and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1992, she founded her SITI Company with Tadashi Suzuki.
A work commissioned by Carolina Performing Arts and Executive Director Emil Kang, A Rite is billed as a deconstruction of The Rite of Spring. It explores themes of war, science and hope, and struggles with the implications of constant change for the modern individual.
"This was really jumping off of a cliff, coming from the dance world and the theater world—although Bill's a theater whore, I will say," said Bogart in a public conversation last Thursday at the Ackland Art Museum, where the two artists were joined by Kang and UNC music professor Severine Neff.
The collaboration recognizes affinities between today and the world of 1913, while also pulling in Jones' politics and Bogart's scientific interests.
"Here we are in 1913, in a time when the paradigms of culture were shifting radically: the birth of Cubism, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Einstein's theory of special relativity. And I think we're in another paradigm shift now," Bogart said.
Jones is interested in the social contexts around Stravinsky's work. "If The Rite of Spring equals a precursor to the war, what did World War I mean to Americans and particularly to the America that is just now finding its voice, the America of people of color? I thought that a lot of those guys who left Europe after the First World War came back home and they no longer wanted to be called 'boy,'" Jones said, suggesting that a very different kind of modernizing began in the Modernist period.
"The civil rights struggle, which was going on before the war, got a boost from people having been in Europe."
On Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a few hours before President Obama's second inauguration, we sat with Jones to talk about A Rite and reflect upon his career.
INDY WEEK: When Emil Kang approached you about this commission, what was your conception of The Rite of Spring and how has it changed throughout the development of A Rite?
BILL T. JONES: Emil quoted me the other night at the museum that I had said that I was terrified. That might be a little dramatic but this happens to all choreographers at some point. They're faced with the question: Do you want to step into this fire? Because everybody feels at some point in their career that they have to deal with The Rite of Spring.
I've always thought "Good for them. I don't need to do it. I'll do something else." I felt it was kind of a trap to try to reinvestigate Nijinsky's and Roerich's libretto. It was that story. The music can stand up to all sorts of treatments—witness Walt Disney and Fantasia. But there was something about the libretto and the immense spectacle that it was in its time. It changed fashion and changed the whole idea of how a theatrical spectacle can unfurl.
Are you continuing to create solo work amid all the different kinds of work you do now?
Not nearly, no. I do once in a while. I like to say now, glibly, that I dance now when I'm happy. When I'm very happy. And that usually happens in my living room when my companion is cooking and music is on that I love, or at a party with friends. I will do an impromptu solo. And they go under the title—someday I'll collect them—it's called "That Sweet Impediment to Greatness."
I love dancing to Al Green. For Obama's first inauguration, Toni Morrison asked me to do a benefit... so I danced a solo to "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart" by Al Green.
That's a great moment. And we have that moment again today. What does the second inauguration, and today being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, mean to you?
That's a fair question, on this day. I am confused. I am confused that he is being re-inaugurated on this day. First of all it is difficult to make the day pop for me. It would be easier if I wasn't here working. It's my day off. Did I wake up thinking "This is Martin Luther King Day?" No. I woke up thinking this was a day off and Rite of Spring, Rite of Spring, Rite of Spring, and I have interviews, and oh, this is Martin Luther King Day, and Mr. Obama, whom you have really given a great deal to... Why am I cool [toward him]?
Something is hurting. Something is sad. And anything I say sounds like I am beating up on the man who has become a symbol that I need and I would defend his back no matter what. But maybe it's a realization of the dreams we have—"I have a dream," that's one thing—but you better live fast and die young, right?
Heaven forbid you have a dream and you have to jump into the shit. And try to make something in an intractable situation. Martin Luther King now belongs to the angels and the ages, and his accomplishments.
Mr. Obama is very alive right now. Why doesn't he behave like an icon? Why doesn't he wave his magic wand and stand for change? Well, it doesn't happen. And is that a middle-aged man talking to you right now, about having realized finally, maybe, I can't just will it and the world will change? There is mud up to our waist. And why were you so arrogant as a young person to think it was any different for you and your era? Maybe that's what's hurting right now, on this day.
Well, you can always make new work and push at the mud, right?
Oh, you think that's what the work does? I'm not sure. That's the other thing. When we were going to make The Rite of Spring, and we were talking about Nijinsky and Roerich's sacrificial maiden, I said, before we even started the work, what's the news there for me?
The news is not about young tragedy but about the realization of aging, and the diminishing returns and cynicism. You know, April is the cruelest month, breaking up. Well, late summer is pretty cruel too, when you know the winter is coming.

In August when I visited Dr. Slamon, who invented Herceptin at UCLA, one of his recommendations was a genomic test to find out future options.
Cancer damages DNA, which makes up genes. The genomic test is to find effective drugs or regimens for damaged individual DNA. In other words, it will find the personal regimens. Recently I have heard about such a test more and more.
The test I was recommended by Dr. Slamon was called Foundation One operated by Foundation Medicine in MA. According to the site, the successful rate of the test is 85%. In the rest, the test may not be able to find any matching drugs, or even if it finds some clinical drugs as suitable, you may not be qualified for the trial. Needless to say, without perfect drugs, which kill cancer cells 100%, the treatment is limited anyway even with the test. Yet, at least we can avoid wasting time and money for ineffective drugs, as well as nasty meaningless side-effects.
For me, the main purpose is to find out if Afinitor, the drug for Hormone + breast cancer, is effective or not though mine is not Hormone + but HER2+. The testing cost $5000-7000, but without insurance, it is adjustable depending on the income according to the site. Since my Kaiser insurance doesn't cover the cost and I was told to ship the specimen by myself, I am asking the instruction of shipping.
Today I had a CT scan to evaluate the latest regimen, Abraxane and Herceptin. Perhaps it will take a week to receive the result, but if cancer is growing, I have to change the regimen again, so I should hurry up the testing.
Abraxane is the same chemical as Taxol, which lost the effectiveness already on me. My chance is slim but I pray for a good result!

North Spirit
Travels Among the Cree and Ojibway Nations and Their Star MapsBook - 1995
In 1974, when Paulette Jiles was first sent by the CBC to work as a journalist in Big Trout Lake, a village without radio or television in remote northern Ontario, she didn't know a bush plane from a backpack. North Spirit is based on the seven years Jiles spent working with the northern Cree and Ojibway peoples, who call themselves Anishinabe. This lyrical, witty and reflective book evokes a time when new technology is beginning to clash with the traditioinal culture. At its center is the author's search for the meaning of the remote and sometimes terrifying Oda-Ka-Daun, or Stern Paddler, who moves his cosmic vessel through the heavens. As she seeks to unravel this mystery, Jiles recounts her many adventures among the Anishinabe people and reveals the enduring legacy of their northern mythology.

Hardly a week goes by now where some big IT company isn't announcing a new cloud computing platform. Jumping into clouds seems metaphorically questionable, but a lot of IT firms see large-scale utility computing as the next big thing in computing, and they don't want to be left out. Most recently hopping onto the bandwagon are Verizon, Computer Sciences Corp., and Sun Microsystems — its second foray into on-demand computing.
Those three companies add to a growing list of cloud providers, including Google, Microsoft, IBM, HP, AT&T, and dozens of smaller players. But HPC users seem to be gravitating toward the 800-pound gorilla in the room — Amazon and its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offering. Even though EC2 has only been around for three years, it represents the oldest and most established general-purpose cloud computing platform.
In particular, EC2 looks like it's becoming the platform of choice for biotech companies. Our February report on startup Pathwork Diagnostics is an example of a small company using EC2 to offload a cancer tissue analytics application. They cited Amazon's $0.10/CPU-hour cost as the main attraction for outsourcing some of their work. Larger biotech companies are using EC2 as well. An article last week in Chemical & Engineering News by Rick Mullin described how a handful of big pharmaceutical firms are tapping into clouds. Pfizer, Eli Lilly & Co., Johnson & Johnson and Genentech are all looking to offload some of their bioinformatics work onto the cloud. From Mullin's article:
Although Lilly has a sizable installed base of computers, the company's IT infrastructure is operating at full capacity, says Andrew Kaczorek, senior systems analyst for discovery IT. "Because we have hundreds of different users, what we see is spiky utilization," Kaczorek says. "The result is that for days at a time our clusters are at 100% of capacity. This means there are actually scientists who have work to be done that is literally sitting in a queue." Although exact cost savings are difficult to calculate, they are clearly significant, according to Powers and Kaczorek, as are the time savings.
For example, the company was able to rent CPU cycles on EC2 to run a bioinformatics sequencing code on a 64-node EC2 cluster. For a 20 minute run, the cost to Eli Lilly was $6.40. That's hard to beat when compared to the price of maintaining those additional 64 compute nodes on a permanent basis.
For bioscience businesses, the cloud story is especially compelling. Unlike other traditional HPC users like government labs, financial services firms, and oil & gas companies, life sciences came relatively late to the information technology game, so computing know-how and infrastructure at these companies tend to be spread rather thinly (at least relative to, say, a DOE lab). But today biotech companies are fully immersed in and dependent upon information technology, especially high performance computing. Mullin continues:
[T]he rapid creation of life sciences data keeps pointing to the use of cloud computing, and this is especially true in the area of genomics research. Advances in nanoscale and microfluidic chemistry now allow DNA to be monitored on tiny beads by photographic sensors that, according to Chris Dagdigian, principal consultant for the BioTeam, generate TIFF images in collections of up to 800 gigabytes. "This creates a massive data-capture and handling problem," he says. "We are now in an era where instruments that are showing up in very small wet laboratories are capable of producing a terabyte or more of data in a day."
It's conceivable that the drug companies will bypass the large-scale datacenter build-out that occurred in other HPC verticals and move directly to an on-demand computing model. As such, it may serve as a model for how other HPC users, especially smaller organizations and new users with little high-end computing expertise, can get cloud-enabled.
The early experiences by these drug firms also point to how security concerns are holding back more widespread use of cloud computing. In this case, their main concern is protecting their intellectual property and patents, but almost all HPC users (not to mention just everyday enterprise users) have security issues of one sort or another. It's worth noting here that Verizon's new cloud platform offers added security, primary because their cloud runs over their own private network. But they also offer additional security in the form of identity and access management, host intrusion detection, application vulnerability assessment, network application assessment and professional security services. It's not too hard to imagine that computing in the cloud can be made at least as secure as it is behind a local firewall.
For the HPC crowd, the longer term concern is performance. For a good synopsis of this topic take a look at Douglas Eadline's recent article in Linux Magazine and the EC2 benchmarking paper (PDF) he references. The main argument put forth is that running applications directly on top of purpose-built HPC machines is always going to be more efficient than running applications through a bunch of cloud layers on general-purpose platforms. My take on this is that focusing on performance and computing efficiency ignores the more useful (but more slippery) concept of productivity. I've yet to see a research paper look at HPC in the cloud from this perspective.
There are some early attempts to marry cloud computing services with traditional HPC infrastructure. Darkstrand, Nimbus Services, R Systems, Univa UD, and a handful of other companies are on the leading edge of HPC-as-a-service that bring real supercomputers into the mix. Wolfram Research is also developing its own HPC Cloud Service in partnership with Nimbus and R Systems. Whether HPC will be able to carve out its own niche in cloud computing is an open question, but a deeper discussion of this will have to wait until another day.

Sunday morning at 10 a.m. UK time, BBC1 The Big Questions will be asking the ridiculous question, "Should Human Rights always outweigh Religious Rights?"
But the good news is that Chris Moos and Abhishek Phadnis will be taking part, so it should be interesting.
Mind you, I can ruin the suspense right now by saying yes, of course they should. Any religious practice that violates one or more human rights should not be allowed. There is no "religious right" to enslave people or cut off their genitalia or keep them out of school or deny them medical treatment or prevent them from getting birth control.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Last month in part one of our two-part article on setting up a Virtual Private Network through Windows Vista, we walked you through configuring the VPN host. The Host system is the computer that listens for a remote connection and is either part of the network you need to access or contains the data that youre looking to retrieve.
In this article, we'll show you how to configure the VPN client. The client is any remote computer you use to gain access to those network resources. Well also highlight some of the common problems you might run into while attempting to establish a virtual connection.
Before we begin youll need to know the IP address of your Host networks WAN connection. This IP address is different from the one that you assigned to the VPN Host. Instead this IP address is the Global IP address that your ISP assigned you. You can find it in your router configuration under the WAN section. Check your router documentation for further information on locating this information.
Once you have this IP address we can begin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The WAN IP address can be either static or dynamically assigned. Unless you have a business account for your cable modem or DSL line, chances are that you have a dynamic WAN IP address. This means that this address might change from time-to-time. When that happens, your preconfigured VPN Client will no longer be able to locate the VPN Host; unless of course you knew about the change ahead of time and updated the VPN Client configuration accordingly. One way to circumvent this problem would be to use a Dynamic DNS service, which automatically tracks and updates the changes to your network's public IP address. Some of these you pay for, while others offer the service for free. For more information on Dynamic DNS services check out this article.
Congratulations! You have just completed configuring your VPN Client and should now be ready to connect to your VPN Host. That wasnt too bad now was it?
If you have trouble connecting to your VPN, it usually comes down to these issues:
Wrong IP Address
If youre not familiar with differences between local and global IP addresses, they could be hard to identify. A simple way to identify your global IP address is to use a site like SpeedTest.net. Once the page loads youll see your IP address located in the lower left corner of the screen. REMEMBER: This is the VPN Host address, and it's the same IP Address youll need to connect to when using the VPN Client.
Configured Firewall
Most computers these days have two firewalls protecting them; a hardware one (in a router, for example) and a software one (ex. Norton Internet Security, Windows Firewall, Zone Alarm, etc.). In order for the remote computer to access the host system the firewall has to be configured to correctly pass these requests on to the appropriate system its protecting.
In most cases this will be the cause of your problem. The best way to verify this is to disable all of your firewalls and attempt to establish the connection again. Note: you need to do this for both the VPN Host and the VPN Client machines. The easiest way to do this is to connect your cable modem or DSL line directly to your system and just disable the software firewall (if any). This essentially disables all security and exposes your PC to the Internet with no protection.
Miscellaneous Issues
You might also run into encryption issues. By default, the VPN doesnt require you to use encryption, but since Id prefer to err on the side of caution, my instructions here enable encryption. If all else fails you can disable encryption for testing, but once it's working, I highly recommend you re-enable it and work through the problems.
ISP Policy Violation
Finally, if youre certain that firewalls on both the client and the host systems are not blocking traffic, but you still cant connect, then the problem could be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Some ISPs block VPN traffic or allow it only with certain types of accounts. Check your ISPs polices for details.
If all this still seems a bit too complicated for you there is an even easier alternative available. A free software utility called Hamachi that will in most cases let you set up a working VPN in just a few minutes, usually with little or no configuration. Ive used this before and it works surprisingly well. A colleague of mine explored this in greater detail, and you can check out that article here:
Now that youve established a successful VPN connection, youll need to configure your PC or network to share network resources. Next month, well show you how to do just that. Until then, I hope this helps to get you started.

Millersville upsets Shippensburg for first PSAC title appearance since 1989
WEST CHESTER, Pa. -- One goal from Katelyn Zap was all that it took for No. 6 Millersville to defeat No. 1 Shippensburg 1-0 in the PSAC Semifinals on Friday.
Millersville (14-6) outshot the Red Raiders 11-2 and took five more corners. Zap's goal at the 2:52 mark was the fastest Marauders' score all season. Ashley Weber assisted on Zap's score and keeper Lauren Sotzin recorded her program record 10th save in a two-save effort. One of three saves came on a penalty shot save with only five minutes to play.
"This team continues to play fearless," head coach Shelley Behrens said. "We approach every game the same and this was no different. It was a total team effort, and I am so proud of our girls and for Millersville field hockey."
Shippensburg (17-2) only totaled two shots in the game and stayed in the game due to goalkeeper Ciarra Delost's seven saves. The shutout marks the first time the Red Raiders haven't scored since last season's national championship loss to West Chester. The loss also ends a 10 game-winning streak for Shippensburg.
The Marauders got on the board early when senior Ashley Weber received a pass in transition and took the ball down the right sideline. As Weber dribbled past a Red Raider defender she played a center pass from the baseline. Her pass found Katelyn Zap wide open in front of the goal. Zap's shot slid past Delost and into the back of the net, giving Millersville a 1-0 advantage. With her score, Zap took the team lead in goals with six goals on the season.
"It was just like practice, as soon as I saw the shot that I had I knew I needed to do my job and put it in the back of the cage," Zap said. "It felt so good to beat Shippensburg and advance to the PSAC Championship game."
Shippensburg had two penalty corners in the middle of the first half, but Sotzin and the defense were able to thwart each attempt by the Red Raiders.
Millersville also had more opportunities to score before the end of the half. The best chance came on a center pass by Samantha Ruane. Ruane's pass went through a crowded circle and to Champayne Hess' stick on the backside.
With Millersville leading 1-0 at the half, the Marauders also led 4-2 in shots and 6-2 in corners. Captain Maria Thompson had one message to her team at halftime, "We don't stop here, we keep attacking and try to get one more."
Thompson and her defensive unit did not allow a Red Raiders' shot in the second half. Shippensburg controlled possession in the final frame, but most of that came in the middle of the field.
As soon as the buzzer rang, the team rushed the field and celebrated reaching its first PSAC Championship game since 1986 and only its second win against Shippensburg since 1999.
"This win is very special for our program and I am so happy for all of our hard work to payoff in a way that everyone else can see how good this team is," Behrens said. "As great as this win is we have to turn right around and prepare for an even bigger game [Saturday]."
