Today writing about Worry. I think I have been trough this recently.
I am stable in this moment, thus it's time to look back, what was happening, why and to see, how to move forward from this.
I have committed myself to do several things of what I never did before and while finding my stable ground, learning practical experiences within these various 'new' areas, I am facing with some stumbling experience within.
I must clarify – I am much more stable than I ever was before, but still there is place for improvement, which might seem as some sort of obsession and mental fixation to strive for Self-Perfection, but it is nothing of that kind. It's simply by looking into me and to answer the question –
Am I absolutely, brutally self honest about this very specific point I am looking at in this moment?
And if no, then I must change, otherwise I accumulate acceptance of self-dishonesty – willingly, which leads to where I exactly know what is, as I've been there before, that's where I am actually 'coming from' here, also through this blog sharing, The Journey to Life, from self-dishonesty to dignity and honoring the best possible version of myself.
Recently I wrote a letter to someone, wherein I explained this (actually it's a desteni interview with Gurdjieff, who I quoted, but that 2-3 minutes assisted me tremendously, thus I like to share it, maybe someone else also could find it supportive.)
The time for unification is here, I like this word, that's why it's my blog's title as well, what I started in 2008: because if I put myself into and as these words:
I am already a unified man.
Then from this starting point I am able to see, feel and understand what I still have to open up, purify, remove and let go of from my core of my very being and thus to move forward, consistently without any doubt.
Worry, fear, doubt, uncertainty, fear of loss are certainly not unknown for me, especially within my conscious, thinking mind, thus I have the ability to deal with them in a way, what's constructive and not just distraction and suppression, but actual, problem-preventive solution.
What I feel nowadays is a bit different, it's more physical, deeper and direct as now my conscious mind is not blocking my way to do what I really want, but when I face with new situation, I can definitely hear my heartbeat in my ear and to realize that I only have myself in this moment to apply.
It's similarly heightened experience, when one would imagine being in the jungle among wild animals and it's about being in this moment, but not too afraid, because that would petrify or distract me.
It's actually very self-empowering to see that who I really am is not really getting hurt or getting disappointed with rejections, mistakes or failures, as my current situation is not surviving in jungle against beasts, so it's just a symbolism.
But still, there is this inherent, physical, resonant worry I feel and often it goes away as I move through it and I discover 'an unknown', I learn and expand, and some returns from time to time, until I do not become honest with myself about it and find a practical solution.
I used to be addicted to fear, at least a decade ago, I proudly shouted to anyone, I am not afraid of anything, but in fact, first and foremost, I was so afraid from myself, to be present, honest and truly open with myself. It's so obvious, that if someone does not fear anyone, can face the worst in this world – they still can be afraid of themselves, it's completely different scenario.
Actually, also myself, I was fueling my acting out as of not-fearing in the world by the inherent inner fear I constantly experienced on a physical, resonant level, just in relation and towards myself, here.
Sounds horrible, but I am sure of many, many people can relate to this, just maybe never explored their word-set to be able to write or say it as directly as exists.
Facing all I've ever done, from the nasty, the selfish, the evil – even if I am being considered as such a nice guy, each moment matters, not only in the mind, but within and as our physical body we accumulate. Each thought, feeling and emotion is being created, going through and essentially affecting, influencing, in a way transforming our own body, every day, hour and minute, constantly. Literally resonating, like a sound vibration energy, and thus, to believe that it does affect would be just unwise.
To be able to face, understand, stop and start changing our conscious mind, when the so praised 'no thoughts' can start to expand is just the first step within true transcendence of self-dishonesty and self-limitation.
It is, and always was and will be, our human physical body, the source and destination, which through – and as – we only can truly live in each moment.
After(and still) walking Desteni I Process courses since several years now, I see, that there is so much ahead, but without these years I've already walked, I still would be lost within my mind.
So, in short: physical body support, there are many more minds to transcend. The greatest ever made online 'university' about transcendence, true psychology and the science of the human psyche is obviously EQAFE.COM.
There is nothing even slightly similar online what could be compared to this vast amount of theoretical and practical information database about how humans work from the consciousness and mind level.
I am grateful that this exists, especially the group behind it, who are truly inspirational within their consistent and restless effort to keep sharing more and more refined and relevant interviews to support real change and the betterment of humanity.
This is what I am going to do also: for my personal experience, resonant worry, facing the physical mind, to be able to take responsibility for this type of self-resistance and limitation, I check for interviews at EQAFE.COM.
After a minute, I've found a lot of support about worry:
I just read this aloud several pages – I understand more about the nature of my worry, as walking through various aspects, starting points and dimensions of worry and I saw my own fear of loss, wanting to control, which then I can open up further to assist and support myself to be able to use my time much more effectively than spending it to useless, actually counter-productive worry.
So, even when I am not actively thinking about, still worry can be result of participating within it in the past and can be triggered by scenarios, experiences and it might even seems to be so direct that I could believe(justify) that this is so inherent that it's part of me, who I am, but in fact it's self-dishonesty to say something like that.
Also when people, parents justify their worry to the point of becoming ineffective, it's self-dishonest.
I also see now, to look after a child, and when does something dangerous in the moment, it's kind of scary, I have to jump to catch him, otherwise would suffer an accident. But I see that worry does not help, rather to be on point, disciplined, focused, present and to ensure that I do all I can to prevent the problems I would worry about.
- So this is also a great way to transform, re-define worry, to use it creatively, with active, self-directed imagination, not that I would allow it to roam free and I become this worry-wart.
- When I see worry, I stop, see what is the nature, subject and relationship of it and I see what I can do to ensure, this is prevented?And to also actually see, that there is place for worry if I am not doing everything I can to prevent the thing I worry about to happen.
Well, it's actually common sense, as if I do all I can, there is no place and time for worry, right?
- So whenever I worry, it's a cross-referencing self-reflection point of I am not focusing to solution/prevention, thus I should re-align, self-forgive and initiate self-directed action.
Another support about worry:
- https://eqafe.com/p/worry-sounding-self-forgiveness-atlanteans-part-111
- https://eqafe.com/p/worry-transforming-worry-atlanteans-part-112
- https://eqafe.com/p/imprints-and-the-resonant-mind-quantum-systemization-part-46
Yes, for these interviews/documents, there is a price, but if I look at that an ordinary dinner in Europe is about 15-20 Euro, so to be able to stand up to and learn a lot about how to deal with worry, for a lifetime – I'd gladly support those, who do every day work for these interviews to become on-line(they are no corporation, no government support, just some very cool people)

[Review] Brainwashingly catchy songs
By Candace Kwan
Judging from a cursory glance at the track list - actually, just from a glance at the first two tracks - Far East Movement have taken their unexpected collaborations up a notch with Justin Bieber singing the hook after a song featuring Tyga. With two polar opposites next to each other, it's safe to say the conventions of the hip-hop genre don't apply to Dirty Bass.
The album lives up to the hype after their major-label debut Free Wired (which gave them a place in history as the first Asian American group to make the Billboard Top 10). Their first single Live My Life, the track with Bieber, and remixed by LMFAO's Redfoo, topped iTunes charts worldwide in its first week of its release. By using Bieber, Far East Movement is once again the host of an all-inclusive party for those who can (or can't) get into the clubs.
Not surprisingly, there is no clear-cut "hit" song as all tracks are catchy to a brainwashing degree - because with all those bits and pieces destined to loop in your mind, it's almost like a personalised remix of Dirty Bass. Despite the onslaught of guest appearances by Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz and Pitbull, the spotlight remains firmly placed on Far East Movement - so bump this in your trunk and FEEL that bass in your chest pounding along with your heart beat.

- Wedding: October 2015
Tomorrow my Fiance and I are going to a catering tasting and a flower consult for our wedding next year. I texted my Mom last week to see if she wanted to go and she never got back to me, I texted her again today and she told me no, she couldn't. This happens every time we do something wedding related. My family never asks about it, never talks about it, barely acknowledges that it is happening! My Fiance and I got engaged two years ago and since our engagement we have had to put off our wedding twice for finanacial reasons, so I get that it's not at the forefront of family conversation, but they were never interested! Anyone else going through this?

Igor stravinsky once said that "a good composer does not imitate; he steals", and ts eliot once said "immature poets imitate; mature poets steal." even the idea that good art embraces the work of other good artists is not unique or original.
Good art is often a synthesis of thoughts and methodologies that have been poached and recycled from other sources. Very little is entirely new or original, and this understanding is equally true of other aspects of our lives. Ideas are cumulative and depend upon the evolution of techniques, observation and criticism, so it isn't entirely surprising that inventions and discoveries are often made simultaneously by different people in different locations. It is still a matter of argument, for instance, whether the electric light bulb was invented by Joseph Swan or Thomas Edison, or the telephone by Elisha Gray or Alexander Graham Bell…
The style and design of the prevailing art and everyday items of our lives reflect the zeitgeist and are a refinement and an assimilation of the judgement of their times. Everybody copies everybody else, and style is not a patentable idea. So the cars of any era, however different they might have seemed in their time, look like other cars of that era – and the same can be said of, say, furniture, graffiti, clothes, hairstyles and mobile computer devices. A mobile phone is based on any number of software and hardware technologies developed by individuals and firms such as Nokia, Samsung and Motorola over a period of 30 years, but a modern phone looks very different to one of 30 years ago.
A mobile phone has some basic requirements. It has to be portable and fit in your pocket, preferably with smooth edges so that it doesn't catch on the threads of your jacket or shirt. It has to be able to scan the web and talk to other phones. Sometimes we expect a little bit more, but the basic technology and appearance, albeit refined and improved, remains the same, and owes everything to 30 years of research and development by any number of companies and individuals who wormed away at the idea of touch screens and mobile communications, sometimes making breakthroughs and sometimes encountering failure.
The commercial breakthrough of the smartphone is dated to the launch of the iPhone in 2006, but the ideas and technology it embraced did not slip, clean and new, out of Apple's ownership of one particular part of the ether. Apple was not alone in recognising that the mobile phone had a significant future, but had the advantage of being an outsider to the business, able to take a dispassionate view of the possibilities. Apple synthesised the best aspects of existing mobile phone technologies and smartphones, and added the marketing potential of the idea behind iTunes to make an iPhone out of an iPod – a phone that doubled as an iPod and a web device, and gave access to the Apple store. Marketing and the inertia of the competition did the rest.
The iPhone was the best mobile phone of its time, used the best hardware, and relied on clean design and usability principles. Apple made all the right decisions, sidestepped the competition and still holds a significant share of the market – but very few of the constituent parts of the iPhone were really unique or original. Competitors adopted Android, which had been under development since 2003, offered all the advantages of the iPhone and cost significantly less.
The justification for Apple's subsequent righteous war against the Androids is the tendentious claim that Android is a 'rip-off' of the iPhone and "a stolen product". The primary contention is that Samsung and Android have ripped off Apple's style and look and feel, but Android is no more stolen from the iPhone than the iPhone is a 'rip-off' of the pioneering work of the likes of Motorola, Nokia and Samsung itself.
The instrument for Apple's war has been the acquiescence of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the US courts, ownership of scores of debatable utility and design patents, and its claims against Samsung and others of 'trade dress infringement'. The good news in recent months is that some of these entitlements, such as Apple's patent entitled 'Touch screen device, method, and graphical user interface for determining commands by applying heuristics' and 'the rubber band patent' have come up for review and been found wanting by the USPTO. The bad news is that Apple still has a vast portfolio of debatable patents to draw upon.
Patents are not a defence of the rights of the innovator, but a weapon against competition and invention and the rights of the user. Android is no more a 'rip-off' or 'stolen product' than the iPhone itself, or the music of Stravinsky or poetry of Eliot.

Future Participants
Swansea 2014
Welcome to the Swansea 2014 Study Abroad webpage!
So who might be interested in the Study Abroad program? Any student wishing to broaden their University experience by traveling internationally! Traveling to Swansea is a unique opportunity because you can travel abroad and still visit an English-speaking country!
There will most likely never be another time in your life where you can pack up and go see the world while learning so much as the same time. Not to mention you are receiving college credits too. It is a wonderful opportunity that everyone should take advantage of. ~April Patterson - Florence, Italy
A little about Swansea
Swansea is Wales's second largest city. Swansea lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan. It is home to Swansea University, and during the 19th-century industrial heyday, it was the key centre of the copper industry, earning the nickname "Copperopolis."
Today, the city is home to a bustling culture full of performing arts at The Grand Theatre, a number of festivals, and still carries the Welsh Language in many of its churches and schools. Local produce includes cockles and laverbread, which are sourced from Laughor estuary. Local Gower salt marsh lamb is produced from sheep which are raised in the salt marshes of the Laughor estuary.
Wales is part of Britain and the United Kingdom. It's situated to the west of England and is around 170 miles long and 60 miles wide. It covers just over 8,000 square miles - that's about the same size as Massachusetts!

Sequestration is underway, and Tea Partiers are claiming victory in their war against deficits. They see this as the first win in their campaign to impose austerity on the American people. Many Republicans, fearful of being challenged from the right in a primary, have argued that "everyone knows that spending is out of control." Never mind that Federal nondefense discretionary spending — all spending minus defense and entitlements — is on track to hit its lowest level as a share of GDP in more than 50 years, according to data from the Congressional Budget Office.
These self-proclaimed deficit hawks argue that we need austerity because, just like many American families, we have to "tighten our belt." Unlike many American families, the
government can print money.
Also, it can spend on a scale that alters the unemployment rate around the
country, stimulating the economy and producing more revenues. And it can borrow
money at rates that approach zero per cent. Nevertheless, the acolytes of Grover
Norquist insist that we must shrink government until it is the small enough to drown
in a bathtub. U.S.
If only we could be certain of how austerity works. Does it enable the economy to flourish? For that, we would need something like a controlled experiment.
government "austerity programme" is a series of sustained reductions in public
spending, intended to reduce the budget deficit. How's that working out? The United Kingdom economy is
3.3% smaller than it was in 2008. The U.K. economy is 2.9% larger (both
adjusted for inflation). Get it? The U.K is in recession and the U.S. isn't. U.S.
What's the number one cause of deficits? Recession. Hail Britannia! As Paul Krugman put it:
"It's important to understand that what we're seeing isn't a failure of orthodox economics. Standard economics in this case—that is, economics based on what the profession has learned these past three generations, and for that matter on most textbooks—was the Keynesian position. The austerity thing was just invented out of thin air and a few dubious historical examples to serve the prejudices of the elite."
Think about that if you have some extra time today. Maybe you are trying to get through the shrunken TSA while trying to catch a plane that is delayed because of layoffs of air traffic controllers. Or maybe you are driving over unsafe bridges and on roads with potholes, with your kids whose Head Start program was shutdown, to get some meat at the market, where, because of a lack of meat inspectors, prices have shot up.
And think on this: the sequestration is the result of Republicans refusal to close tax loopholes that it said were unfair and non-productive when negotiating a way to avoid the fiscal cliff. They claim that the President "already got his tax hikes." Of course, last time I checked, Republicans controlled the House of Representatives and had a filibuster/veto in the Senate. So go ask John Boehner to name names: Which Republicans voted for a tax increase?
" …. and tell 'em Big Mitch sent ya!"

Everyone is looking for some type of simple way to treat anxiety. For many, that means trying out treatments that are not evidence based.
One example of such a treatment is self-hypnosis. There is little reason to think that self-hypnosis has any effect on anxiety levels, and there is reason to believe it should be avoided. Nevertheless, in this article we explain what self-hypnosis is and what you can do to control it.
Stopping Anxiety Out of Therapy
Even though there may not be evidence for self-hypnosis, there are some very effective ways to treat anxiety. Find out how with my free 7 minute anxiety test.
Introduction to Self Hypnosis for Anxiety
Self-hypnosis is a fascinating idea, but it's highly unlikely it has any effect beyond a placebo. There is simply no real proof that it should have any effect on your overall mental health. Take my anxiety test to learn more about other potential non-medicinal anxiety treatments.
But in this article, we'll explore the idea of self-hypnosis from the perspective of those that believe in it. One thing that is true about this type of treatment - there is certainly no harm in trying it, provided that you're willing to try other treatments if it doesn't work.
What is Self-Hypnosis?
Self-hypnosis is the act of hypnotizing oneself, using words to control the mind in a way that stops anxiety. Self hypnosis can be accomplished in many ways, but is consistently based upon the principle trying to change the beliefs and mental associations that cause you to think and act the way you do. Because anxiety disorders often occur due in part to a person's negative associations or negative beliefs around particular situations, settings or objects, self-hypnosis in its various forms could conceivably be a useful tool for controlling them, and thus controlling anxiety.
You may wonder, how can talking to myself or visualizing certain things change the way my mind works? And if it can, why do anxiety medications exist?
How Self Hypnosis Works
Your brain is the most powerful organ in your body. Almost everything that makes you, you is stored there, including the fears, paranoia and negative thought spirals that can result in anxiety. What you believe, and the feelings you associate with different aspects of the world around you, are big influences on your behavior, and if you can change them your behavior is likely to change accordingly. This is what hypnosis is designed to do.
Self-hypnosis uses the power of words to alter those thoughts so that you can regain control of your reactions to life. For example, imagine you had an irrational fear of spiders. Using self-hypnosis, you would alter your associations so that your mind doesn't experience fear when you think of spiders or see spiders, all through words that manipulate your own brain into thinking differently than it did previously.
Over time, your brain is essentially re-wired to connect certain stimuli with positive, relaxed feelings rather than negative, anxious ones. The amygdalae, twin almond shaped clusters of neurons in your brain, play a fundamental role in this process and also in your anxiety, as the part of your brain responsible for storing memories based on the strength of the emotional states connected with them and triggering reactions to stimuli based on those associations.
The following section will discuss the basics of performing self hypnosis on yourself, as well as several possible variations to try.
Variations of Self Hypnosis for Anxiety
When you do self hypnosis, the idea is to create beliefs and associations that you will carry with you out into the world. However, it is supposed to take a few sessions before your mind becomes accustomed to its new settings. If you are going to try self-hypnosis, then it is a good idea to perform self hypnosis regularly until it becomes easier for you to access positive states.
In order to access your subconscious mind, sit down or lie down in a comfortable position somewhere you will not be disturbed. Look around you and tell yourself three things about your environment that are true (for example, I am sitting on a chair, I see a desk next to me, and I can hear a dog barking). This will prepare your subconscious mind to accept the things you say as true. Then close your eyes and concentrate on relaxing your body, one part at a time. Playing soothing music may help you to also relax your mind as you do this. Once you are completely relaxed, you are ready to do one or all of the following things:
- Create an Anchor Point An anchor point is a point on your body that you can touch to trigger calm, relaxed feelings. Ideally it will be somewhere you can reach easily, such as your hand or your arm. To create an anchor point, think of the place or the person who makes you feel the most relaxed and then imagine yourself there or with them. Concentrate on how calm and comfortable you feel and then touch your chosen anchor point, while describing to yourself (preferably aloud, but in a soothing a voice, as though you are talking to a child) how relaxed and comfortable you are, and that after you count backwards from ten to zero, any time you wish to re-enter this state of relaxation, all you have to do is touch this anchor point. Once you have done this, count backwards from 10 and open your eyes.
- Alter Your Associations Once you have achieved a state of mental and physical relaxation, you can start to build new associations with the triggers of your anxiety. Imagine the situation, setting or object that usually triggers your anxiety, and then add something to the scenario, place or object that makes it funny, rather than disturbing. For example, if you are afraid of spiders, picture a spider. Then change the picture of the spider in your head until it doesn't frighten you anymore. For example, give it a hat, make it rainbow-colored, or have it do a tap-dance to a funny song. The point of this exercise is to get you to associate a relaxed state of mind with the object of your anxiety rather than a tense state of mind. Do this until you can picture the object of your anxiety and feel an automatic positive reaction.
- Identify and Replace Unhelpful Beliefs Writing about your anxieties in a journal beforehand may help you to figure out what beliefs you have that are holding you back. For example, I'm not safe in public or other people are always thinking negative things about me. Once you identify these beliefs, think about what else you believe that might be more useful and positive. For example, I know how to protect myself, and I think positive things about others so they probably think positive things about me too. Then, once you have chosen new and more useful beliefs for your mind to jump to, vividly imagine the situations that usually bring the unhelpful beliefs to mind and think about your positive belief instead. Focus on the belief and the happy feelings associated with it until you feel calm while imagining the situation, or until another unhelpful belief crops up in your mind that you can replace with a better one.
- Listen To A Recording Write out a list of positive affirmations to replace the negative beliefs in your mind. Once you have a reasonably long list, record yourself saying it and play it for yourself at least once every day. Speak gently and reassuringly, as though you are speaking to a child. The ends of your sentences should sound definite and decisive, rather than going up at the end like questions (i.e., I am in control of my body. As opposed to I am in control of my body?). Don't use negative phrases like I won't feel anxious or I won't hyperventilate. Instead, use positive phrases such as I will feel calm, confident and collected and I will breathe evenly and easily.
Doing one or all of these self hypnosis exercises on a regular basis is meant to make you feel better about the things that used to make you anxious, and also of putting you in a generally more positive and tranquil frame of mind.
Placebo - But No Harm
There is simply no evidence that this type of treatment works, so it cannot be recommended. That said, many people believe it works, and there is no downside to the treatment if you want to give it a try. There are no side effects and the worst case scenario is that you lose a few dollars.
However, make sure that you never depend on placebo treatments like self-hypnosis and that you are willing to try other treatments when/if this one fails.
I've helped thousands of people recover from their own anxiety without medication or therapy starting with my free 7 minute anxiety test. Consider taking the test now to find out more about your anxiety symptoms and how to control them.

UNbelievable, UNimaginable, UNinspiring
The United Nations (U.N.) has announced their intention to withdraw personnel from Iraq in light of serious security concerns.
Sounds logical, huh? If the media release had ended there, this bit of information would have passed this reader with no need for further introspection.
As it was, though, the news didn't end there. The media release also included reference to concerns over the U.S. approach to the establishment of a democratic government in Iraq.
I expect some criticism of the decision to use force based on the threat of weapons of mass destruction. I can even understand frustration over whether or not a direct al Qaeda connection to Saddam Hussein ever existed.
The fact that never seemed debatable was whether the Iraqi people would be better off freed from Saddam's deadly rule. In sheer numbers, Saddam's decision to withhold food and medical supplies killed more women and children than the "shock and awe" campaign by the U.S. Military killed Iraqi soldiers.
I won't even bother to remind you about the Shiite massacres in the south or the Kurdish atrocities in the north. Saddam and his butchers mastered the art of compliance through execution.
No one should be surprised that many of the U.N. member nations that objected to direct military intervention in Iraq now appear in David Kay's post-invasion analysis of Saddam's military re-building efforts.
France, Germany, Russia and Italy all stood ready to reap the financial rewards of a thriving business development effort focused on investment in the Iraqi military.
Some of you might dismiss that dichotomy as "business as usual." The conflict between legitimate, principled decisions and profit motives seems important to me, but maybe not anyone else.
My confusion centers on how the U.N. can be judged as an "honest broker" in determining how to design and implement a new democratic government.
Some of the world's bloodiest and most regrettable governmental models occupy seats in the U.N. Cuba, Iran, Syria, China, and Viet Nam have NO legitimate basis upon which to offer opinion regarding the building of a democratic government. Whether you think the Bush Administration is right, wrong, or somewhere in the middle regarding the Iraq policy, how can anyone argue that U.N. input on establishing a democracy has any legitimacy? The latest news from Ambassador Paul Bremer is that a draft constitution will soon be ready for review by the full interim Iraqi government. Following that review, the constitution will be taken to the Iraqi people for THEIR vote. Wonder how long it will be before the Chinese version of a democratic constitution will be ready for their consideration? Wonder if Fidel will be drafting a version of a democratically elected Cuban government anytime soon?
Syrias harboring of terrorist organizations probably takes too much time from any effort to create a democratic government.
If the French or Russians expect to have credibility on the Iraq question, they'll need to prove that their concerns have more to do with a free Iraq than they do with contracts for equipment and infrastructure.
No doubt about the fact that the Bush Administration could have done a more thorough job of vetting the intelligence. A legitimate argument could be made that the invasion might have been delayed or limited to surgical strikes.
What fails the stink test is when U.N. member nations that foster murder, terror, torture, and a disregard for the principles of freedom opine about how the U.S. goes about the creation of a fledgling democracy.

Beyond the highlights of the city, Paris is the ideal place to discover the French art de vivre. Take a seat in a café and simply enjoy the scene in front of you: locals shopping fresh food from authentic markets, people taking their time for lunch which usually lasts more than an hour, women and men who are well groomed in a simple yet fashionable way… Simple things that make life much more enjoyable. When it's time to eat, you'll be spoilt for choice. Indeed, Paris has a wealth of restaurants serving specialities from every corner of the world.

Our friends have this theory that adding an emoticon at the end of anything makes it sound nicer. AntiRinkleCream shows that the theory does not hold with 'x' as a finisher.
ewwww….I feel violated just reading it
The name AntiRinkleCream makes it sound even more gross.
heh, I wonder if the submitter responded to "y xxx" with "cuz i'm not your baby and i'm nobody's baby." Sheila Copps anyone? ;)
I like the question mark in the third comment. Is he unsure about what he gets to do?
Once again, just looking at his avatar you can tell the guy is a complete waste of oxygen. Is it still illegal to abort AFTER birth?
We are horrified by terrorism committed in the name of Islam. We read of cultists who twist the Christian faith. Yet all the acts of horror committed in the name of traditional religion are dwarfed by the horrors perpetrated by unhinged followers of Darwin.

For a few years now, the wrestling game business has been a one company show, but Midway will change all of that this September when the men and women from TNA elbow drop their way onto your favorite console. However, it's been hard to get a good look at TNA iMPACT!. IGNers have played the game at events, but we've never had the chance to just sit down and tear this game apart.
Thankfully, TNA-Listers is going to fix that and bring you along for the ride. iMPACT! is now in the office, and we're going to show you every wrestler and every finisher while giving you a little tidbit of how the day's brawler played. Believe it or not, fans, we're into the final two weeks of our look at the roster. If you want to see the final few folks who will be making their way to the ring in TNA iMPACT!, you're going to need to check IGN Tuesday and Friday of next week.
Ring the damn bell.
Samoa Joe is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion; this means he's pretty f'n good.
A former TNA tag champ and TNA X Division champion, Joe's already ensured that he's going to have a legacy in TNA for a long time to come. Since 1999, Joe's been dropping opponent after opponent in the ring, and he's currently held the TNA title since April 13, 2008. That's nothing to sneeze at.
In video game form, Samoa Joe works well. Aside from looking awesome thanks to iMPACT!'s graphics, Joe's move set makes sense. The champ packs a body slam, backbreaker, and a stiff-looking powerbomb. All these moves are steadily weakening the opponent's spine so by the time you get to dropping the Muscle Buster -- which also looks good -- you've pretty much got the match in hand.
It's nice to know that your grapples are building toward something.
Feel like more TNA awesomeness? Check out IGN's Q&A with the developers.

By Clint Buehler
EDMONTON – Willie Littlechild has a new honour recognizing his athletic achievements and contributions with his induction into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame.
Currently the Alberta vice-chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Littlechild has been passionately active in athletics since he was a young boy, and credits that passion with laying the foundation for his illustrious career.
"I could have been dead on the streets somewhere, Littlechild says. "Sports really gave me that chance to live."
A gifted athlete, he would go on to win more than 45 university, national and international competitions, including stellar performances as a member of the University of Alberta's hockey and diving teams, plus serving as general manager of the university's Golden Bears football team. He ultimately earned Bachelors and Masters degrees in Physical Education.
His accomplishments in sports and health earned him both the Alberta Award for Excellence in Athletics and induction into the University of Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. He would later also be inducted into the Saskatchewan First Nations Sports Hall of Fame and the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame.
A passionate advocate for Aboriginal participation in sport, Littlech in Geneva, Switzerland.ld began organizing an international sporting even for the indigenous peoples of North America, and in 1990 the first North American Indigenous Games was held in Edmonton, with games later taking place in various locations in Canada and the United States in 1993, 1995, 1997 and 2002.
For his contributions to this initiative, he was awarded the Ingternational Gold "Medaille d'Excellence" as Lauriette for Sports 1999/2000 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Willie was pursuing his interest in law, becoming the first Treaty Indian from Alberta to earn a law degree when he graduated in 1976 from the University of Alberta.
That was when—after 24 years spent gaining his education—the Elders called him into a teepee and told him that would be the first day of his "Indian Law School." The Elders were concerned about violation of their treaties and, because the Ermineskin Treaty (Treaty 6) had been signed by Queen Victoria, they had decided that those violations needed to be dealt with in the international arena.
Littlechild, who had thought he would never have any use for knowing international law, would go from representing his own nation in international legal proceeding to the broader international jurisdiction of the United Nations and its affiliated organizations, with ever increasing responsibilities and influence.
In 1980 and 1981, he was a member of the legal team sent to the British High Courts in London, England as part of a lawsuit to block patriation of the Canadian Constitution until Aboriginal and Treaty rights were protected and included in the Constitution.
He would also successfully venture into partisan publics, elected in his home riding of Wetaskiwin in 1988 and serving five years in Brian Mulroney's Conservative government where he made a number of significant contributions.
(While some unofficial biographies credit Willie with being the first First Nations person elected to the Canadian Parliament, that achievement goes to Len Marchand of the Okanagan Band, who served as parliamentary secretary to Jean Chretien when he was Indian Affairs minister, and as Minister of State for Small Business, and who was later appointed to the Senate by Chretien. He is credited with significantly advancing the Aboriginal cause during his more than three decades in public life)
As a Member of Parliament Littlechild served on several senior committees, including the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and the Special Joint Committee on the Constitution, and as a parliamentary delegate to the United Nations. Working at the international level, Willie organized a coalition of indigenous nations that pursued and gained consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations which led to him being appointed to the United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous Peoples by the ECOSOC President.
He was the key player in securing a voting seat for Canada's Aboriginal peoples at the International Labour Organization, and was a founder of the International Organization of Indigenous Resource Development, and a founding member of the Indigenous Initiative for Peace. He is currently one of 16 members on the United Nation's Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
For those and many other achievements, Willie Littlechild's contributions have been acknowledged in many different ways. He is acknowledged by the law profession as Queen's Counsel and Indigenous Peoples' Counsel, and is a member of the Order of Canada.
Reflecting on the motivation for his activism, he has written: "Our ancestors in some areas have secured our traditional ways and food systems in Treaties. These international agreements were signed 'for so long as the grass grows, the rivers flow and the sun shines.' For sharing our lands, we were to maintain our 'vocations of hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering' through certain tracts. We were to be able to do these for food at all seasons of the year. In others, we were to be assisted by Treaty 'to be engaged in cultivating the soil' as a right to development. There are other principles in international covenants which state that 'Peoples' may not be denied 'their own means of subsistence.'"

A Husband And Wife
Through The Years
A bond that so strong
Super glue looks mild
We have seen it all
The tough times that make others crumble
We have grown leaps and bounds
Learning to adapt and change
Pulling together instead of pulling apart
Depending on each other for never ending support
Compromising when we disagree
Knowing giving in and getting half is way better than losing everything
Later realizing we didn't miss anything
Marriage isn't for everyone
Some people love being single
Dating someone new
For me I will take one loving wife
I can't ask for a better life
Only fourteen years married
A small number to those who have three times under their belt
If this is a sign of what is to come
I am bad dancing in the street
Laughing with the biggest grin
When someone sees me and says
You can't dance
I know and isn't it great
Why is great ?
My wife will always love me
No matter how bad I dance
She knows what I am good at
She knows what I absolutely stink at
Going forward I have my faults and she has hers
Our greatest talents will out shine them any day
We have found a few secrets to a happy marriage
My wife is making herself look beautiful
She did her hair
By that I mean washed it and blowed dried it
Doing her legs
By that I mean putting lotion on them
If she doesn't they dry out and bother her
I have to get ready
That means tearing myself away from writing and reading
Going out to eat for supper before nine o'clock
As a husband and wife special treat
We are not smokers or drinkers
So we are probably boring to others
We keep all the windows open
Trying to avoid putting the air conditioners in the windows
Loving good old fresh air
We look forward to spending our days and nights together
When work doesn't get in the way
We talk about everything
Leaving gossip and bad news out
We let other people live their own lives
Good or bad
They make their decision
Just like we have made ours
To death do us part
Hopefully it won't be anytime soon
Living each day our own way
Makes every day special
Especially on those hot summer nights
We manage to stay cool
DREAM ON, you have delivered a product which is great before its arrival with potential ever increasing. So true, husband and wife get married to stay married to enhance their life which otherwise wouldn't exist as complete as their mutual compliments. Increasing in wisdom and love is daily practice accepting each other as our own soul , looking forward new experiences as we mature. It's better with experience, but blessing isn't measured by length of years together. It always is there everyday, now. We are learning from your poem as determination to want and to will. Well written advise for everyone .
Voted up, useful, interesting.
Hi Dream On - What a wonderful poem, filled with ways to make a marriage work. Why don't we try harder to make better harmony? Your poem gives us reasons to compromise and overlook little things. Let us all take a vow to live by the words of this hub, and we can lift ourselves to the sky. Sharing, Blessings, Audrey
If the couple can understand each other life is always beautiful.
Aw that was beautiful Dream on! and yes I can totally relate to it, its amazing isn't it?

As has consistently been the case in recent history, Sprint's Q3 2008 results show a decline in revenue and a loss of customers. Sprint's overall revenue fell 12% to $8.81 billion from $10.04 billion a year ago. Sprint's wireless service also showed a similar decline, losing 13% from last year and 3% from last quarter. The decline in revenues was due primarily to a loss of customers as Sprint's total number of wireless customers declined by 1.3 million during this quarter alone and almost 3.5 million since Q3 2007. Post paid customers make up the bulk of this loss during the current quarter as 1.1 million post paid customers left Sprint for its rivals. Sprint did have some good news as post-paid ARPU has stayed at $56 compared to Q1 and Q2 2008, primarily due to increase in the numbers of customers using data. Prepaid ARPU also showed a $1 increase from Q2 2008 as the number of Boost Unlimited subscribers also increased. Nonetheless, the take home message is that Sprint is continuing to lose customers at a relatively fast rate. Sprint's introduction of several customer care programs to keep customers and encourage them to sign up for data plans may help stem the tide of its decline. It also has a decent lineup of new phones but that nagging question still looms, will new phones and new services be enough to compete against the likes of Verizon and AT&T?
As a former Spring Customer (for at least 5 years) who left & went to AT&T & subsequently left AT&T for Verizon & never looked back, I can tell you what REALLY sunk Sprints ship was POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE & extremely inaccurate BILLING. I actually had to have my attorney get involved in our situation & there were quite a few people whom we talked to that were having the same issues & had gotten fed-up. I left AT&T for the exact SAME reason less then 4 months later & did NOT have to pay out an ETF for ANY of our 5 lines!!! (that tells you right there how SEVERE our problems were)
Poor Customer Service will sink you everytime no matter HOW great of a product you have. Not only will you lose current customers, but an unhappy customer is your worst enemy because they will NOT recommend your company to anyone AND they will loudly air their complaints to anyone who will be willing to listen.
http://www.myspace.com/datechnologyking mr. Hi-Definition
Can't say I'm suprised here. I used to be a Sprint customer for 2 years and I got out of contract and went to AT&T for the original iPhone. I've been a fan of AT&T and of course Verizon ever since.
Tom Miller
I am a brand new Sprint customer. I left Verizon Wireless after 16+ years for many reasons. One of the main reasons was for the HTC Touch Pro. I got my phone through Best Buy a week earlier than sprint.com, and got a killer deal. The Sprint reps on the phone did a great job of contacting me and helping me when I need something. I have great signal, both voice and data in my area, so I am a happy new Sprint customer. I suggest you try them out.
Most of the horror stories I have heard about their customer service come from their non-corporate stores. Our area does not have corporate stores, only locally owned stores that wear the branded Sprint logo. They are only intested in selling you new phones or service, and not taking care of you after the sale. This is where the problem starts. I will always deal with a corporate store when available, or just call them.
My 2 cents. . .
http://www.k5live.com likeabite
I just want to know what's going to happen to Sprint when it's all said and done. Every quarter more loses…tsk tsk tsk
I am glad your experience with Sprint has been positive. I would NEVER go into a Sprint store EVER again. I actually had JUST purchased an HTC phone (it was the one that sprint had just before the HTC Pro) & the power button had tremendous problems & it was effecting my ability to utilize my phone. I was in that store everyday for nearly 1.5 weeks trying to get it fixed with NO resolution before I had to file a complaint with the BBB AND have my attorney write a letter. I paid nearly $400 for this phone.
BUT the majority of the issues I had with Sprint were customer service IN the call center. Constantly dealing with people who did not speak English well enough to be able to understand my problem & then being completely useless in trying to solve it.
Don Louie
I was waiting on this news, they went from 1.2 to 9K to 1.3, if more people knew about thier phones and products while offering better customer service in-store and over the phone it may not have been as bad. Thier CDMA #'s keep going up while the IDEN goes down but PowerSource stagnant, tells something in a way
I've used just about every wireless carrier available and I'm currently with sprint for the last several years. I had AT&T briefly last year but their reception was so poor and their billing so nickle-and-dime-ish, that I went back to Sprint.
Sprint does have a pretty bad customer service department, as far as regular support, especially out of India call centers. They're Blackberry Professional Tech Support out of Kentucky is top notch, in comparison.
I've noticed that their customer service across the board has gotten MUCH better in recent months, due to the new CEO's emphasis on customer satisfaction. They may be able to reverse the tide, if they can keep up the improvements, but ultimately phone selection and plans matter most.
Sprints phone plans are the best in the U.S. Period. But they're phone selection is lacking, especially when it comes to new releases. Hopefully that will change soon.
drbyers, I certainly agree with you about Blackberru Support, it was top notch. We had sprint for at least 5 years & unfortunately when they outsourced it just got so bad I could no longer stand it. We had no coverage issues or anything like that but the phone selection for a while there was REALLY poor & to have bad customer service & then all of a sudden they "updated" their billing system & bills were constantly inaccurate, I could NOT take it anymore. enough was ENOUGH.
I left Sprint over a decade ago and never looked back. There customer service was bad then and, as I've read, has remained bad or maybe gotten even worse. The reason I will not entertain the thought of signing back up with Sprint is that they had the nerve to "Fire" their customers because they called too often about the bad service they felt they were receiving. Has everyone forgotten about that? The thought of a company getting rid of their customers because they complained too often and were bringing down their industry scores instead of improving their service is absurd! For that reason alone, I doubt that I ever go back to Sprint.
I have been with Sprint for 7-8 years but I'm considering a jump because I want a smartphone and Sprint is constantly lagging the competition. The HTC Touch Pro looks nice, but a little too bulky for my taste.
But I can't complain about Sprint. I've been with them this long for a reason. Their plans are arguably the best around. The coverage (at least for me) is great. And how often do you really deal with customer service? In my 8 years, I must have called customer service only 2-3 times to deal with phone upgrades.
And if you are a current customer, you really have Sprint by the balls as they'll do a lot to try to keep you on their service.
But having outdated phones is a struggle for me. Sprint didn't have the Blackberry Curve until a few months ago while AT&T is preparing for the new Curve coming out soon. It's just frustrating.
Sprint has started to turn itself around recently. The question is…is it too late?
Customer Service has gotten much better. Billing isn't as bad as it used to be. The devices are decent. And the plans are good.
The issue is though, those who have been fucked in the past. They lost all trust in Sprint. Sprint used to be a great company. It was not the Nextel merger that took them under. They started messing up about a year before that.
Dan needs a commercial that addresses this. Offer everything at a 1 year contract with pro rated etfs. Tell those who lost all faith in Sprint to come back. Hell, beg them at this point. Let Verizon take on AT&T. Sprint needs to go after TMobiles customers.
Sprint will unfortunately keep screwing up and digging the hole deeper.
Now believe it or not, you don't have to call customer care often at all. However long that will remain, meh, we will see. Sprint seems to go in cycles. 3 months no issues and then 1 month full of issues. God forbid you were a blackberry user for the past few years where your data would stop working, and it would take 4 hours on the phone with sprint to get it working again (after a 45 minute hold).
Years ago I worked for Sprint and I can honestly say they had the worst customer service. I had an employee account because I was required to have one because of my position. My personal phone was with TMobile. I have had AT&T, TMobile and now I'm using Sprint Again (BB Curve). Right now I believe Sprint is the best company, plans are unbeatable, service is great and customer service has improved ten fold.
I do hate when my calls are sent to outsourced call centers, I just hang up and call back.As far as getting rid of their customers, I can understand it.Some people are just to hard to please. People would complain and call for the most ignorant things. If most people take the time to read their manuals they would be able to navigate and troubleshoot their own issues instead of wasting an instore reps time, because time is money for instore reps, most of their salaries are based on commisions.
Anyway I'm going to finish my rant with to each is own, everybody has their own preferences and experiences.
I thought they were making progress until I returned a test phone and had a credit to collect. What a nightmare. I had to call 4 different times because they said to hold on, but wound up accidently hanging up. The supervisor could barely articulate a sentence. Really disappointed with their customer service on the phone. Store seems to be getting better. Never had any issues with Verizon or TMO, and only once had a really silly error with AT&T. I'm.not too surprised by their numbers, and the down trend is going to hamper their roll out of WiMax. Especially with todays economy.
So far since getting a Treo 700XW in May '07:
countless calls to customer service and no resolution until I told them I was leaving. That was last November. I shoulda left then…
They sent a Mogul. It lasted three months and then heated up to 103 Frhnt and died. Four months later, I was in refurb hell. Not one phone worked longer than two weeks. Not one phone was really refurbed, they were mostly driedout and shipped out.
The NEW Treo 800 lasted one trip with the navigation on and that was the end of it. Battery is dead after three to four hours.
The new Mogul, now phone number 9 in six months, has a disability. The "n" key refuses to type on normal pressure. The signal from the tower just never seems to reach the phone. The dropped calls since about eight weeks ago have increased and my favorite: the voicemail icon shows up and dings the phone, but the phone never got the call.
Countless hours have been spent going back to the service center (and over thirty calls), who are nice in their own right, but are helpless in the conditions Sprint has left it's customers and service providers leave me no choice but to seek asylum in another carrier's service.
And Sprint is clueless as to what has to get done? How many customers do they have to lose or is this a planned assisted suicide of a corporation from the inside?
I just hate paying $400 in hostage fees.
I love Sprint. Been with them over a year. They hooked me up with 30.00/month SERO plans when I started over a year ago(even for my add a lines I started last month), are always giving away free ringtones, have great coverage where my Verizon (the nickel and diming b@stards) didnt and I dont have a problem with CC because I never have to call them. And if you do need to E-Care is the way to go. They just got to get past the bad rap they've come to have.
my main problems were the phones and the billing. the billing is alittle better but the phones still suck. I just got the htc mogul and in 2 days the touch screen went out and they say they will send a new one. they need better phones
I been with sprint for 5 years and been good to me but its about choice so to each you own
so who else had problems with the mogul 2 days and the screen went out
Been with Sprint 9 years, consistently. CS has had it's moments. But, the grass is NOT necessarily greener on the other side. Plans & especially DATA blow all the rest away! To each their own is right….LONG LIVE SPRINT!!
The comments here are why Sprint is doomed. The only people who stay are those who are focused soley on price. There's no loyalty and they will jump when a better deal or a better phone comes along. Plus the Sprint customer maxes out the network and puts cost strains on the company.
Even if Sprint can slow the customer losses, they will never be able to touch AT&T or VZW from a profit perspective.
It will all be over soon for Sprint.
tuffy Kohrs
I have had sprint for 5 years. Their customer service is pretty bad on the phone, but after a few hours of negotiating with the guy in India you ultimately will get what you need. Their billing is aweful. For a couple months they were charging me anywhere from 15-25 dollars for the Power Vision pack which i never signed up for. They just added it randomly to my bill after 5 years without it. The service is pretty much the only one that works in my area (everywhere in town except my home, which only bothers me a little bit). There is not a good phone selection. I know they have a decent amount of Windows Mobile Phones and Blackberrys, but after 5 years with an average flip phone i cant wait to get my hands on a smart phone. Up untill about a year ago, touch screen smart phones were very expensive and had Windows mobile which just isnt as cool as some of the options now. When i heard about Andriod, and how they were launching the phones on Tmobile and Sprint before ATT and Verizon to dig into the smaller network market, I eagerly awaited the announcement of a Sprint android phone. But it looks like that is going to be a ways off, and if its anything like the G1 hardware wise, im just not persuaded to buy it. I would love to have an iphone, but ATT( and Tmobile for the G1) isnt an option for me coverage wise. So that leaves Verizon. The BlackBerry Storm caught my eye when i heard about it. It has Verizons 3g data and coverage, which does work in my area, but im not sure if it does at my school. If i switch to Verizon it will be significantly cheaper than Sprint, because i will be adding the 30.00 BB data plan to a cheap business voice plan. However the lack of Wifi on the Storm almost makes it a deal breaker. Seeing as it is a CDMA phone and a BLackBerry phone, i expect the "Verizon Exlusive" 9530 Storm to eventually turn into the 9540, 9550, etc. The are bound to add Wifi to the phone. I am thinking that the Verizon exclusivity will eventually end with updates of the hardware and come to Sprint, maybe with wifi. So here is my dilema. Do I stay with Sprint and live with a featureless flip phone while I wait for an Android phone that lacks the flaws of the g1, or possibly wait for a wifi enabled BB Storm on Sprint, OR do i jump boat to Verizon where i will have cheaper monthly rates and a blackberry storm with no wifi. Oh and i my contract was up in August so i have no Termination fee to worry about.

I'm a current Sprint customer. I originally signed up for Sprint in 2000, stayed for about 6 years, then left for awhile and tried other carriers, MetroPCS, AT&T (Cingular), T-Mobile, and Verizon. MetroPCS was an overburdened network, and believe it or not they dropped a 911 call! Cingular was expensive, T-mobile's customer service rocked but their technology (lack of 3G in many areas) was a breaking point and Verizon is a money sucking giant with sucky coverage in my area.
I went back to Sprint in 2007 with one of those sweet SERO plans which I'm now grandfathered in under, and I got to say – Sprint's data network is speedy, and coverage is good in my area. Their customer service is sucky but, not any less sucky then the other guys. I'm happy with Sprint, and not planning on going to another carrier anytime soon.
Seriously, Sprint's network is large, robust, fast, and reliable… they have always been a leader in innovation. I think the new C.E.O. has his head screwed on correctly and will turn that ship around, the unlimited plans are a good start. It's all about marketing, for some reason everyone is dogging on Sprint… maybe they should rename the whole company Boost Mobile :)
I've had at&t and i can't complain! They have wonderful service and they're finally coming out with some messaging phones, and they have a wide variety to choose from. I have the LG Vu. My mom has sprint for about a month now and she can't complain. She has service everywhere and she has the LG Rumor. Sprint is also coming out with a pretty nice line-up before christmas, too.
Thanks.. i hoped this helped.

I honestly don't think that Sprint could market itself out of a paper bag. "Value" isn't ownable, clear, or sustainable, and it's certainly not a motivator for sales. It's shocking if you think about how much money the company has spent so it could lose customers…
…conversely, isn't this a marvelous time to embark on truly inventive, new ways to poach customers? I riff about the possibilities a bit at Dim Bulb: http://dimbulb.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/11/go-steal-some-customers.html

Christopher Wilson Snyder, forty one, killed himself after an hourslong standoff with police. Three folks, including his wife, were capable of escape the chaos. Officials didn't launch her title.
WASHINGTON — The suspect in a shooting that killed three individuals in Brookeville, Maryland, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after an hourslong standoff on Monday, in keeping with Montgomery County police. Police stated three adults have been killed in the shooting by suspected gunman, 41-12 months-old Christopher Snyder, inside a house at 22002 Brown Farm Approach. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths of two people at a rural house in west Petaluma after finding their bodies Monday afternoon while conducting a welfare verify on the request of a member of the family.
Montgomery County police say three people were shot and killed in a home on Brown Farm Method: one one that lived there, one other person who worked there and a 3rd one who was visiting from out of city.

Infertility and Adoption
Please find some of our best articles, essays and reviews on this topic.
There are a range of losses associated with infertility — the loss of control over many intimate and practical aspects of our lives; the loss of genetic connection and lineage; the loss of the opportunity to create a new person with our life's partner; and the loss of emotional and physical expectations we have about being pregnant. Parents who haven't dealt with their own infertility and adoption-related losses will find it difficult to help their children learn to deal with their adoption losses.
Pact works closely with prospective adoptive parents to help them explore and resolve their infertility-related losses prior to adopting a child. Pact offers pre-placement consultations and placement services for prospective parents who are looking to adopt a child of color as their first choice. Prospective adoptive parents can also participate in some of our online chat groups, our educational workshops and conferences, our nationally acclaimed Pact Family Camp, one-on-one consultations, and regional parent-organized affiliates in Northern California, Southern California, and throughout the U.S. Become a member of Pact to take advantage of all these resources and to receive our newsletter, Pact's Point of View, which features many articles on the intersection of adoption, parenting, and race. Pact members receive a discount at our online bookstore, which features great reads on adoption carefully selected for both adults and kids of all ages. We also recommend blogs and other online resources that we believe have the very best advice and information for adoptive families of children of color about adoption, race, and parenting.

Eminem finally admits MTV Movie Awards ambush was a stunt
No big surprise, but Eminem has 'fessed up that his rendezvous with Sacha Baron Cohen's bare butt at the MTV Movie Awards was a rehearsed prank.
"Sacha called me when we were in Europe, and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the movie awards," he told RapRadar.com. "I'm a big fan of his work, so I agreed to get involved with the gag. I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going nuts, so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it."
When asked what happened after he stomped out of the Gibson theater, he said, "After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air."
Most curious about this latest development is that MTV has published a report on line quoting Eminen's revelation to RapRadar as news. Why doesn't the network that produced the kudofest confess what it already knows?

Dan Halligan
Dan Halligan is a writer and publisher living in Seattle, WA. He published the now-defunct zine 10 Things Jesus Wants You To Know. Later, he created the alternative newspaper Tablet, which has also ceased publication.
Halligan began writing in the late 1980s for the punk zine Maximum Rock 'N' Roll before starting his own fanzine in 1991. He has contributed to many other fanzines and has run or participated in dozens of zine panels, readings and workshops promoting zines and self-publishing, working with Rock the Vote, 1996's Kill Zinesters Tour, Seattle's Center On Contemporary Arts, Northwest Bookfest, the Seattle Public Libraries, Bumbershoot, and the Zine Archive & Publishing Project. He has donated large zine collections to both the Experience Music Project and Zine Archive & Publishing Project.
The electronic version of 10 Things was one of the earliest e-zines, garnering Halligan a front page of the Philidelpha Enquirer (08/02/95) and inclusion in Martha Gill's book for the Webworks series "E-Zines: Exploring Online Magazines" (2000). His "Punk Parents" article from 10 Things was featured in the fifth issue of the Zine Yearbook in 2000 and he's been interviewed in Punk Planet, Fucktooth and many other zines.
In October 2000, Halligan and friends launched Tablet, a Northwest arts and music magazine. Tablet folded in September 2005 after its 103rd issue.
Currently Dan Halligan is freelancing occasionally for larger music zines, collecting '80s pinball and arcade games, and writing a book about zine publishing in Seattle during its music explosion in the 1990s. He maintains a presence on alt.zines and other online zine communities.

Control Your Emotions, Control Your Thoughts, Control Your Life
In a society obsessed with self control and self improvement, InterAxons Muse brain computer interface headband promises all the things: tracking your emotions; tracking your thoughts; more understanding of yourself; more self awareness; making alterations in your environment to improve your state of mind e.g programming your ipod to put on calming music when your brainwave headband senses you are anxious.
It works using 6 EEG (electroencephalographic) sensors that monitor the electrical activity of your brain, similar to the way a heart rate monitor tracks your pulse. The sensors detect 5 individual bands of your brainwaves and measure their changes while you focus on different things. They claim the headband can sense when you are overtired, anxious, happy or angry, as well as enable your brainwaves to solve puzzle games using focus and concentration.
It all sounds very mysterious, but what caught my attention was their claim that soon we will be able to control the in-flight entertainment system with just our brainwaves. I don't mean to be cynical but of all the potential applications in the world, surely lifting up your arm a couple of inches to make a few taps on a screen is hardly a problem worth solving... unless it has come to their attention that there are thousands of complaints from people who are often disturbed from their in-flight snooze by a strong screen poke from the person seated behind them.
What did sound cool was the creation of music without voices or traditional instruments, every sound instead created by brain sensing virtual instruments.
But who am I to judge the applications of brainwave technology. I'll leave it to the experts. Rumours suggest the company that raised money from VC's and raised money on Indiegogo, has grabbed Googles attention, a company that seems to be buying up wearable technology companies as soon as they hit the headlines. They probably intend to use our brainwaves to control our automatic cars. More and more the future looks like Wall-e.

Election result: 2 FG, 1 Lab and I FF
Willie Penrose Labour, James Bannon FG, Nicky McFadden FG and Robert Troy FF elected to the four seats in Longford Westmeath. The count, which was held in Kenagh, ran until 5am on Saturday morning, with McFadden and Troy taking the last two seats.
Earlier Penrose topped the poll with 11,406 and James Bannon recorded a substantial 9,129 first preference tally. However Bannon had to wait until the 6th count when he was elected by Peter Kelly's transfers after Kelly was eliminated on the fifth count.
Deputy Kelly wasn't the only electoral casualty in Longford Westmeath as veteran politician Mary O'Rourke was eliminated after the second count with a total of 3,101 (3,876 on the first count).
Cllr Mae Sexton failed in her bid to secure a second seat for Labour in the constituency. She obtained 3,960 first preferences.
The biggest surprise of the day was the election of Cllr Robert Troy from Ballinacargy for Fianna Fail. Cllr Troy took the last seat after eight counts.

I take levothyroxine, lysinooril and gabapentin in the morning and norvask and gabapentin in the evening. I'm also supposed to take Nexium 20mg twice daily. I need help figuring out how to do this around meal periods.
I need help determining when to take my Nexium!?

Please clear what is AM medications.
Am is morning.
Just as your levothyroxin should be taken at least a half an hour before your morning meal, the Nexium should be taken at the same time every morning and evening and at least one hour before consuming any food or beverage. Your other medications can be taken as prescribed. So I would take the Nexium one hour before the morning meal, the levothyroxin half an hour before the morning meal, the other meds with the morning meal and then the nexium again one hour before the evening meal followed by the Norvasc and gabapentin as prescribed.
Remember the most important point is to "take your medicine"! The food and timing recommendations help you to get the most benefit from it and also help to reduce the side effects.
This is what I would recommend:
Take your Levothyroxine, Nexium, Lisinopril and Gabapentin together as soon as you wake up (all these medicines would then be taken on an empty stomach).
Take your Nexium, Norvasc and Gabapentin together around an hour before dinner.
See how you go with this. Ideally gabapentin should be taken with food. If you start to notice any nausea or stomach upset then take your gabapentin separately with breakfast and dinner.
The levothyroxine must be taken alone on an empty stomach. Of them all, that is the one that needs to absorb. The nexium would diminish the absorbtion of it.
No - I'm not sure I agree with you. The Nexium will not affect the absorption of levothyroxine... and as I said, the most important thing is for the patient to take the medicine.
For more information see: https://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=1463-0,1015-567
Levothyroxin or Synthroid MUST be take alone, always. 1/2 hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal. When I was hospitalized and they were coming around with all my meds, the Levo is what I got first before breakfast. When I questioned them about it, they told me that Levothyroxin should always be take alone and 1/2 hour before I ate. I was also told this by by doctor and the pharmacist. Anyone who tells you different is incorrect!!!
Are you Serious? I was told do not take PPI until 4 hours after Thyroid medS? Seems strange to me PPI work in 30 minutes I believe all meds do.

|init terminating in do_boot
|Thu, 31 May 2012 15:22:13 GMT
Dear lists, I recently installed CouchDB 1.2.0 from source on CentOS 5.8 (final) with Erlang/OTP R15B01 (installed from source with no errors at installation). It reported no errors in configuration (not even warnings) and no errors in make && sudo make install. Still, I keep receiving the following message when I try to start it: Apache CouchDB 1.2.0 (LogLevel=info) is starting. {"init terminating in do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{bad_return,{{couch_app,start,[normal,["/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]},{'EXIT',{{badmatch,{error,shutdown}},[{couch_server_sup,start_server,1,[{file,"couch_server_sup.erl"},{line,98}]},{application_master,start_it_old,4,[{file,"application_master.erl"},{line,274}]}]}}}}}},[{couch,start,0,[{file,"couch.erl"},{line,18}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}} couch_server_sup.erl (line 98): {ok, Pid} = supervisor:start_link({local, couch_server_sup}, couch_server_sup, BaseChildSpecs), No log entry. I know it returns {error, shutdown} instead of {ok, Pid}, but my question is how can I find what exactly is the problem there? Log level to debug doesn't add any other info. It's not a problem of permissions because I run couchdb as root. I used 0.0.0.0 as IP and the default values for the rest. The erl_crash.dump file doesn't provide other information (or I miss it, so, if anyone wants to inspect it, I can provide it). Regards, CGS

LONDON - Arsene Wenger has said his Arsenal side are in the middle of an injury crisis ahead of their Champions League group game with Galatasaray and the meeting with Premier League leaders Chelsea that follows soon after.
On Saturday, the Frenchman saw the Gunners come back from a goal scored against the run of play by Nacer Chadli to share a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain firing in Arsenal's equaliser.
But that point came at a cost as both Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey were forced off before half-time with injuries and will play no part in either of the next two fixtures. Arteta sustained a calf injury, while Ramsey suffered a hamstring problem.
That has limited Arsenal manager Wenger's choices in midfield, especially as Jack Wilshere was also hurt in the derby, suffering an ankle injury.
The England international was substituted just after the hour mark and is a doubt for the Galatasaray game at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
"There is no chance," Wenger said when asked about Arteta and Ramsey's prospects of being involved in Sunday's trip to Chelsea, who are currently six points ahead of his team.
"If it is a muscular problem I don't see how they can be fit in five or six days time," he added.
"I don't know how long they'll be out but they will be out until next week. Suddenly we are short because if we lost three players today and let's not forgot that we already have two out long-term (Olivier Giroud and Mathieu Debuchy) plus (Theo) Walcott, that's six. (Abou) Diaby is not ready so it starts to become a worry."
Pochettino philosophy
Ramsey and Wilshere have both been troubled by injuries in the past but Wenger insisted he was at a loss to explain the latest setbacks.
"Wilshere, if you look at the incident again, has been tackled and turned his ankle over," he said.
"Ramsey is a concern that he did his hamstring. I don't understand because he had a good rest this week, I didn't play him (in the League Cup) against Southampton on Tuesday night. It's a surprise because he's usually a resistant boy." Wenger also accused Tottenham of time-wasting, with defender Danny Rose shown a yellow card for taking too long to resume play following a free-kick award.
"They took every second they could again, to make the game last as little as possible," an exasperated Wenger said. "I would like to see the referee deal with that in the proper way for once." Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino was keen to heap praise on his players in his first north London derby rather than engage in a war of words with Wenger on that particular subject.
"It is a good point," he said. "Arsenal managed the ball and the territory and possession but we were compact in our defensive line and we were able to get the ball forward quickly to surprise Arsenal.
"Today we competed on the pitch. We have been in charge for three months and we have travelled far. We needed to compete with one of the best teams in the world. We are starting to deliver our philosophy." Tottenham are also in European action in the next few days, hosting Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday before taking on Southampton, the club former Argentina defender Pochettino left in pre-season to take over at White Hart Lane.
