FAIRFAX CITY, Va. (WUSA9) -- A Fairfax City man is being remembered Tuesday as a proud Marine Corps veteran. Bill Patton, 74, died early Tuesday in a fire inside his apartment on Mosby Woods Drive.
Patton was the former Commander of this American Legion Post.
"He was a Commander, a very good commander actually," his friend, Bob Kelly said. "He took a lot of pride in this place. He really did."
Patton was a proud Marine Corps veteran who loved his family and his country.
"He was a very big supporter of the troops," Rad Smith said. "Very Marine. Kind of crazy like all of us."
Patton was a heavy smoker who lived alone. Early this morning, investigators believe a cigarette started the fire that claimed his life.
"I started hearing somebody yelling fire," Marshall Schulte said. "The next time I opened my door there was a lot of smoke out there. I was like okay, I got to get out of here."
A woman who lived in the apartment directly above Patton is being hailed a hero. Fire officials said she heard his beeping smoke detector and quickly alerted her neighbors, saving the lives of 19 adults and two children.
"She is a hero to me because she went to all the doors, knocking at the doors, telling people to come out. There's smoke coming out," Raj Khanal said.
Ironically, the smoke detector in Patton's apartment was installed by firefighters a year ago when they responded to a medical emergency and noticed he didn't have one.
Patton's wife died just a few months ago. His friends say he was still consumed by his grief.
"I feel sorry. I really do," Smith said. "He died young, but I think he's in a better place."
Tuesday evening, Fairfax City firefighters will return to the apartment complex and knock on doors. They'll ask residents if they have a working smoke detector and if not they'll install one for free.
Firefighters plan to visit the neighborhood until about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and will return Wednesday evening if needed to install smoke detectors.

Martial 12.15: Quidquid Parrhasia nitebat
by Tom Gardner
Quidquid Parrhasia nitebat aula,
donatum est oculis deisque nostris.
miratur Scythicas virentis auri
flammas Iuppiter, et stupet superbi
regis delicias gravesque lusus:
haec sunt pocula, quae decent Tonantem,
haec sunt, quae Phrygium decent ministrum.
at nuper — pudet, a pudet fateri —
omnes cum Iove pauperes eramus.
Whatever used to glitter in the Palatine palace
has been given to our eyes and our gods.
Jupiter marvels at the golden-green
Scythian rays, and is amazed at the
luxuries and oppressive whims of the arrogant king;
these are the cups that beseem the thunderer,
these are the cups that beseem the Phrygian attendant.
Now we are all wealthy along with Jupiter;
but recently — it shames me, ah it shames me to admit —
all of us were poor along with Jupiter.

8 Simple Tips On How To Harness the Power Of Your Sacral Chakra
If you are often mistaken in your choice of sexual partners, have difficulty in achieving your goals, have problems with the reproductive functions of your body and sexual life, you find it difficult to achieve success or to make life changes, you doubt your attractiveness, or you have a lack of confidence, then you should consider a Sacral chakra healing. In this article, I'll share with you simple yet powerful tips on how to harness the power of your Sacral chakra.
This information will be most useful if you:
- don't know how to achieve your goals;
- can't intuitively feel what kind of person you're dealing with;
- are never in the right place or right time;
- suffer from mood swings, stress or depression;
- suffer from guilt;
- do not allow yourself rest;
- don't allow yourself to feel pleasure;
- addicted to sensual pleasures;
- like idleness;
- have excess weight and problems with your liver, kidneys, pancreas;
- suffer from lumbar pain and have problems with the spine.
If you have any of these problems then you have imbalanced Sacral chakra which needs some healing.
The Functions Of the Sacral Chakra
Svadhisthana (Sacral chakra) is located between the pelvic bones, in the lower abdomen area. Like any other energy center, this chakra is responsible for the health of certain organs and psyche. The color of this chakra is orange.
Sacral Chakra Functions:
- responsible for the health of the lymphatic system, kidneys, reproductive system and all organs located in the pelvis;
- this is the place of sexual energy concentration;
- responsible for the reproductive functions of the body and sexual life;
- provides the conception of children and the pleasure of sex (imbalanced Svadhisthana is responsible for infertility, frigidity, impotence);
- affects the psycho-emotional state;
- responsible for accepting yourself, others, the world, and for any kind of social interaction;
- affects the perception of yourself as a person of a certain sex and sexual orientation;
- responsible for the choice of sexual partners, sexual desires and emotions that a person experiences in the course of an intimate life;
- associated with physical beauty and naturalness;
- responsible for the formation of stereotypes imposed by society in the process of socialization and education;
- responsible for the manifestation of creative potential;
- gives energy for self-expression;
- motivates to reach success;
- gives the ability to make life changes;
- provides energy for achieving goals.
The Formation And Development Of The Sacral Chakra
The Sacral chakra is developed between the ages of 3 to 8 years. At this time, how people treat you is especially important – if your family members express their love, respect and accept you. At this age, it's also very important to see your parents treating each other with love and respect and having a harmonious and happy family.
If a child grows up without love, is exposed to frequent punishment, criticism, and condemnation by parents, his (her) Sacral chakra will be blocked and bring lots of problems into their adult life. The Sacral chakra can also become imbalanced when a child lives in an incomplete family.
Society plays an important role in the development of the sacral chakra. It is our environment in our childhood that affects the quality of our physical intimacy and the type of sexual partners we choose in adult life.
How To Unblock the Sacral Chakra?
Unfortunately, nowadays there are few people with adequate self-esteem. Many of us were criticized as children, some grew up in single-parent families or in an environment where there was no love and happiness. One way or another, most of us damaged our Sacral chakras in our childhood years. Therefore, most of us need to unblock, balance and harmonize our Svadhisthana chakras. Here are some tips on how to do it.
1. Mantra Therapy
Chanting mantras is my favorite way to start chakra balancing. Mantra for Svadhisthana chakra is "VAM". By chanting or singing this syllable, you're unblocking your sexual (creative) energy that was blocked in your Sacral chakra. This helps you to heal your emotions, traumas, and guilt, and to open up your creative potential. You can repeat this syllable aloud or in your mind during meditation.
2. Aromatherapy
It's a very simple and accessible way to balance your Sacral chakra. The best essential oils you can use are Jasmine, sandalwood, rosemary, ylang-ylang, Clary sage, cardamom, and ginger. With the help of essential oils, you can balance the energy emitted by this energy center.
3. Yoga
Yoga is another powerful tool for balancing your Sacral chakra. It's best to practice dynamic Ashtanga yoga, forward bends, asanas that help the hips open. For more yoga recommendations watch the video below.
4. Meditation
Visualize how a ray of white light descends along your spine to the base and then begins to rise. Stop it at the second chakra, two fingers down from the navel. Imagine how the energy changes its color to orange. Bathe in this color, feel the vitality and energy, and your own magnetism. Experience the awakening of your own sensuality. All five senses have acquired a new life. As you exhale, send magnetic, joyful energy into the world.
5. Crystals
Best crystals for sacral chakra healing are moonstone, carnelian, apricot agate, orange garnet, fire opal, orange sapphire, sardonyx, carnelian, sunstone, aventurine, calcite, fire agate and orange spinel. To heal your Sacral chakra, you can meditate with a crystal, holding it in your hands. You can also wear a ring with one of these crystals on your pinky finger.
6. Food
Svadhisthana color is orange. Orange shades symbolize activity, a joy of life, hope and self-confidence. Based on this, our main task is to activate the energy of this chakra. To achieve this goal we can use the food of this color: carrots, pumpkin, pepper, peaches, mangoes, tangerines, oranges. There are also orange spices that have a beneficial effect on this chakra, for example, cumin and turmeric. Therefore, when preparing food, be sure to use these additional ingredients.
You should be aware that all orange food not only helps to develop and maintain the performance of the chakra but also has a beneficial effect on the whole body. For example, orange fruits contain the essential vitamin C. And orange spices and vegetables are able to saturate the body with the necessary antioxidants.
7. Affirmations
Here are some powerful affirmations that can help you to balance your Sacral chakra:
- I enjoy the abundant living and appreciate what I have.
- I easily learn all my life lessons and turn them into my advantage.
- I say "YES" to all my dreams.
- I'm thrilled with my amazing sexuality! I am very attractive!
- Each day my life gets better and better.
- I am in harmony with the whole world.
- I go through life easily and joyfully.
- Abundance constantly comes to me so I can relax and enjoy my life.
- I am a unique and creative person.
- I love and appreciate myself.
- I openly express my feelings and emotions.
- I allow myself to receive all the gifts that the Universe sends me.
- I allow myself to enjoy my life, to love and be loved!
8. Ritual Baths
Ritual baths are not only a very effective, but probably one of the most pleasant ways to heal your Sacral chakra. All the details of this magical procedure and all the instructions you can find in my article "Ritual Baths For Chakra Balancing".
It is very important what you fill your life with, what emotions, people, events and activities prevail in it. If it is mostly negative thoughts, unpleasant environment, and tedious work, then most likely your Sacral chakra healing will take a very long time. If you want to move faster in your healing then consider filling your life with what brings you pleasure. Make sure that everything you do is filled with creativity and joy. Choose wisely who you communicate with. If you noticed that there are people who steal your energy and manipulate you then consider changing your environment! Surround yourself with positive, like-minded people. Distant yourself from energy vampires. In other words, take life easier and don't forget to enjoy it!
How To Awaken Kundalini: 10 Powerful Methods
The term "Kundalini" used by yogis means the Sacred Fire located in the area of the base of the spine. The Kundalini has seven layers; each of these layers has seven sub-layers. Therefore, there are forty-nine degrees of its awakening. In other words, the question is not so much whether the Kundalini has awakened or not, but how much or to what degree it has awakened. In this article, I want to share with you some of my research on how to awaken kundalini.
Why Is Kundalini Energy So Important For Spiritual Practice?
Kundalini energy allows the brain cells to register spiritual experiences and urges. The capabilities of the physical body, especially the brain and nervous system, increase. After a while, a person whose Kundalini has awakened to a high degree can become a genius, a great charismatic leader or a great spiritual teacher.
When Kundalini awakens, the positive and negative traits of a person's character are much more intense. Kundalini energy is similar to fertilizer: just as fertilizer stimulates the growth of any seeds in the soil, Kundalini brings to life all the ancient seeds present in man – both good and bad. Therefore, a person entering the spiritual path experiences the strongest internal struggle. Therefore it is very important to practice inner purification.
One of the side effects of an improper, premature Kundalini awakening is excessive, uncontrolled sexual desire. A man can become a violent sex maniac. In some cases, a person may develop an excessive sense of pride or even megalomania.
Kundalini Energy In Different Traditions
In Egypt, the awakened Kundalini energy, rising to the center of the head, was symbolically depicted as a snake on the headdress of the Pharaoh. During ancient times, the Pharaoh was presented as being enlightened, an advanced personality on the path of the spirit, and a wise and benevolent ruler.
In China, the sage who managed to fully awaken Kundalini energy and took control of it was depicted as a man riding a dragon. This is how Bodhisattva Quan Yin is depicted in some paintings.
In India, the degree of awakening of Kundalini energy is symbolized by the number of cobras rising above the head of yogi. The number of cobras indicates the number of already awakened Kundalini layers. Sometimes you can see a statue of a meditating yogi with one, three or even five cobras above his head. However, it is rare to see an image of seven cobras. Seven cobras symbolize a soul that has reached a very high level of development, for example, a great spiritual teacher.
In the Indian tradition, Shiva represents spiritual energy and Shakti, symbolizing female power, which represents kundalini.
In the esoteric Christian tradition, "the condescension of the Holy Spirit" represents spiritual energy and "sacred fire" represents Kundalini. This is what John the Baptist says in the Bible, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." (Matthew 3:11) In other words, it means that someone will come to give spiritual initiation or to give spiritual power.
The Holy Spirit is the spiritual energy, while the Holy fire is the Kundalini energy located at the base of the spine. When Shiva and Shakti, or the Holy Spirit and the Holy fire, unite, the spiritual energy awakens the Kundalini energy and raises it to the crown chakra, which leads to spiritual enlightenment, or expansion of consciousness. This sexual union of the Holy Spirit and the Holy fire is also what is meant by being born again. Just like a child is born of sexual union to become enlightened or reunited with God in Heaven one must be reborn and baptized through the sexual union of Holy Fire and the Holy Spirit.
In the European tradition, this spiritual energy is called "Prince charming", and the Kundalini energy is called "Sleeping beauty". When "the Prince" kisses the "sleeping" Kundalini energy it awakens and these two energies rise together to the center of the crown. After that, the Prince and the Princess got married and "lived happily to the end of their days". Sometimes fairy tales are created by great spiritual teachers to convey inner teachings and practices to spiritually Mature disciples.
A comparative study of different traditions will help you understand spiritual truths from a universal point of view, not just from the point of view of one culture. These examples show that the truth is universal. And spiritual truths do not belong to any culture or religion.
Kundalini Awakening Preparation
Usually, people ask how to awaken Kundalini but they don't even know that they need to pass the preparation process first.
There are many methods of Kundalini awakening. Proper preparation is necessary!
- First of all, you need to purify your physical and energetic bodies so that the awakened Kundalini energy can move easily and unhindered without harming your physical body.
- It's important to practice inner purification by means of character progression. You can achieve this through the development of virtues and the eradication of vices and bad habits.
- You need to activate your higher chakras (particularly the Heart and the Crown chakra) BEFORE you start practicing the methods of Kundalini awakening.
Activation of the Heart chakra is necessary for increasing intellectual abilities and willpower.
Activation of the Crown chakra allows the spiritual energy to descend in order to:
- safely awaken the Kundalini energy;
- awaken it to a higher degree;
- regulate the Kundalini energy.
Kundalini Awakening Symptoms
The descriptions of the Kundalini awakening in yogic traditions and in modern western spiritual traditions are very different. The most typical, so-called "classical way" describes Kundalini awakening starting from the base of the spine up to the head along the Central energy channel, Sushumna. As a rule, the awakening begins, with the heating of the base of the spine. Then the heat rises along the spine and spreads throughout the body. When the Kundalini reaches the level of the heart, it begins to pulse rapidly. If the Kundalini reaches the head, there may be a feeling of light coming from the third eye or from the top of the head.
Sometimes the awakening of the Kundalini begins with the twitching of the toes. Then the tremor rises up the legs and covers the whole body. Sometimes Kundalini is crawling along the spine slowly and gently. Sometimes it can instantly move from one energy center to another. There are cases when Kundalini instantly reaches the center of the head.
For some people, Kundalini awakening is accompanied by sexual pleasure. Sometimes Kundalini rises with piercing pain in the spine or in energy centers. The rise of Kundalini can be accompanied by involuntary, spontaneous movements of the body, fixation of unusual poses or yoga poses. Often the breath rhythm changes. A person can see the light and hear different sounds. Some people see the visions of images or fragments of a real physical body. Sensitivity to odors may increase.
To learn more about symptoms of Kundalini awakening read the article "Kundalini Awakening Symptoms Everyone Should Know".
How To Awaken Kundalini?
Now that we have covered the preparation needed, I can finally share with you how to awaken Kundalini.
The Bihar school of Yoga describes how to awaken Kundalini and gives 10 main methods.
1. Awakening by birth
If parents have a high level of spiritual development, it contributes to Kundalini awakening of their child.
2. Regular mantra practice
This method takes a lot of time and patience. You should have a guru who will give you the necessary mantra. Such a guru himself should have his Kundalini awakened, know Tantra and Yoga.
3. Tapasya
This is the purification of the mind and emotions from inferiority complexes. Tapasya is a psychoemotional process that eradicates bad habits and strengthens the will. This is the path for ascetics who are strong in spirit.
The term "tapasya" basically means a practical spiritual discipline that involves deep meditation, self-discipline, and efforts to reach self-realization. By practicing tapasya you can reach spiritual liberation.
4. Awakening with the help of power plants
In the ancient Vedic texts of India, there is mention of the soma plant. It's a creeping plant that's picked on the special Moon days. By taking Soma juice people reach the state of clairvoyance, divination, and revelation. The method of preparation of this drink is secret. The use of drugs or psychedelics has nothing to do with it.
5. Raja yoga
This is a very powerful method of perfecting the mind by concentrating, meditating, and merging with the Divine. But I have to say that Raja Yoga practice without prior Hatha Yoga practice sometimes may lead to depression. It requires a lot of patience, time, discipline and perseverance. For most modern people it is very difficult.
Raja yoga is aimed at establishing control over one's mind. In Raja yoga practitioner mainly focuses on how to control his mind, although certain minimum practices of asanas and pranayamas also take place as part of the preparatory process for meditation and concentration.
There are eight stages or levels in the practice of Raja yoga:
Yama is a set of ethical norms that teach us to communicate with others in the right way. To be brief, it means one thing: treat people the way you want them to treat you.
The step of forming the self-discipline and uplifting spirituality. This step involves regular visits to temples, meditative practices, a study of nature, thinking and walks.
Body care is one of the most important stages on the path to spiritual growth and enlightenment. Performing certain asanas, we learn concentration and self-discipline.
It is the ability to control your breath. Pranayama is a set and a system of special techniques that make it possible to establish a relationship between breath, mind, and emotions. Pranayama practice allows us to rejuvenate the entire body and prolong your lifespan.
It is the ability to concentrate and not be distracted by various external stimuli. This step gives us the vision of the internal systems, understanding what can stop our personal and inner growth.
Dharana means 'concentration' or 'single focus'. This is how we can calm down our mind, which distracts us from knowing more than we are able to understand. It helps us to see the limitless of our possibilities.
Dhyana means 'contemplation, reflection' and 'profound, abstract meditation'. This is the stage of the full development of the properties of meditation and concentration.
This is a state of intense concentration that can be achieved through meditation. Samadhi is a state of bliss and understanding. Samadhi is the highest stage of meditation, in which we experience oneness with the universe. In samadhi, the mind becomes still. We become totally aware of the present moment.
6. Pranayama
If the disciple is sufficiently prepared, practices intense pranayama in a quiet and peaceful environment, eats only to sustain life, one day his Kundalini will explode like lightning and rapidly rise to Sahasrara. However, for those who are not prepared in advance physically, emotionally, mentally and intellectually, the explosion of energy can be tragic. Pranayama is an elitist method. It is very complex and not everyone can cope with it. However, I want to share with you one of the pranayama techniques that can help to awaken Kundalini.
The Pranayama Technique:
- When performing this exercise, it is necessary to concentrate on the basis of the spinal column – the first chakra (Muladhara). The first chakra is the location of the Kundalini energy.
- Close your right nostril with the thumb of your right hand. Inhale through the left nostril, while slowly pronounce the mantra "Om" 3 times. Imagine that together with the air you draw prana out of space.
- Then close your left nostril with your pinky finger and the ring finger of your right hand and hold your breath, pronouncing the mantra "Om" 12 times. Send a flow of Prana down the spine right into the base of the first chakra. Imagine that energy strikes the base of the spine (the first chakra) and awakens Kundalini.
- Then slowly exhale through the right nostril, pronouncing the mantra "Om" 6 times.
- Continuing to cover the left nostril with the pinky finger and ring finger, inhale through the right nostril, at the same time slowly pronounce the mantra "Om" 3 times. Imagine that together with the air you draw prana out of space.
- Then close your right nostril with your thumb and hold your breath, pronouncing the mantra "Om" 12 times. Send a flow of Prana down the spine right into the base of the first chakra. Imagine that energy strikes the base of the spine (the first chakra) and awakens Kundalini.
- Then slowly exhale through the left nostril, pronouncing the mantra "Om" 6 times.
Start with performing this exercise up to 3 times before meditation. With time and practice, it is possible to increase the duration and frequency of pranayama. Do this gradually and carefully, according to your abilities and capabilities.
7. Kriya Yoga
This is the easiest, softest and most accessible method for a modern person. Kriya yoga is an ancient meditative technique for controlling energy and breathing. It is also a comprehensive spiritual path that includes meditation practices and proper living. The correct practice of Kriya Yoga allows the heart, lungs and nervous system to slow down naturally, creating a deep inner silence of the body and mind, thus freeing attention from the constant cycle of thoughts, emotions and sensory perceptions. In the state of this clarity and inner silence, there is a feeling of deep inner peace and harmony with your soul and with the Supreme.
8. Tantric initiation
This initiation is a very powerful experience for those who seek to control their feelings, passion and understand the nature of the Shiva-Shakti principles. In this case, a Guru helps to awaken Kundalini. The student may not even notice how he spontaneously crossed the path of ascension to superconsciousness.
9. Shaktipat
Many people believe that this is the safest method to awaken Kundalini. The Teacher personally should perform this method for his disciple. The initiated disciple can instantly enter the altered state of consciousness. He may, without prior training, to perform the asanas, understand mantras and Sacred Scriptures.
The right to shaktipat (initiation) does not depend on social status or behavior of a person. One can live 50 years as an ascetic, austere practices, and penance and still not receive shaktipat. And someone can live a normal life and receive the blessing from the Teacher at the very first meeting. It depends on the development of consciousness, which gives the Teacher the right to give someone Shaktipat. This is what only the Teacher can see. It is not an indicator of intellectual, emotional or religious development and is not related to lifestyle, nutrition or thinking.
10. Abnegation
This is a paradoxical method of Kundalini awakening without any desire to its awakening. By following this path you're living according to this principle: "I'm not going anywhere. The Universe takes care of everything. I accept everything that comes to me." And if you really believe that, Kundalini will eventually wake up.
Abnegation automatically affects the heart of a person, and this impact is not understood by many, because only a few reach the level of development at which abnegation becomes possible. This action ignites a spark of spirituality in the soul. And when a person reaches this stage, he/she takes the first step on the path to spirituality. The spark produced by this action in the depths of the heart turns into a flame, into a torch illuminating life. It changes the whole Outlook of life. The whole world seems different.
The Magic Of Kundalini And Its Mystery
The Kundalini experience is a universal phenomenon and it does not belong exclusively to the tradition of Yoga. It was common for most cultures and traditions to keep knowledge about Kundalini in a great secret. Back in the days, only Masters had the right to pass this knowledge to their disciples.
The greatest mysteries of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome were connected to Kundalini awakening. Kundalini is also known in the tradition of Christian Gnostics and Neoplatonists, in Kabbalah and Christian ascetics.
Although Kundalini awakening has always been a mystery, there are many cases when energy manifests itself unexpectedly, in completely unprepared people. Quite often it happens with teenagers during puberty. Some people connect it with hormone increase. For a similar reason, there are many cases when women spontaneously experienced Kundalini awakening during the change of hormones.
Sometimes people who are not familiar with Yoga and the concept of Kundalini may experience its awakening without the understanding of what is going on with them. They may complain that they can not sleep at night, feel the heat, the flow of energy, vibrations, etc. Also, they may feel the waves of pleasure in their bodies that they have never experienced before. Instead of using this situation for cognition and spiritual growth, usually, these people go to the doctor. The doctor does not know what it is, but treats it anyways, saying that it is hormonal change.
To learn more about symptoms of Kundalini awakening read the article "Kundalini Awakening Symptoms Everyone Should Know".
Due to the fact that Kundalini awakening is quite a serious and multi-layered process, there is no room for haste. It is necessary to take your time for consciousness to keep up with the ongoing energy changes. It is important to go through all the necessary stages on this very deep, delicate, transformational path. Sometimes this does not happen as quickly as we would like, and it is certainly important to continue the practice. At some point, it may seem that nothing is happening, or that you are not moving forward. But the thing is – it is just an illusion that your inpatient mind creates. Keep practicing, and at the end of the process, you will certainly see the result.
I hope in this article you found some answers on how to awaken Kundalini. I'm wishing you good luck in your spiritual practices and self-realization path. Namaste!
Powerful Full Moon Bath Rituals for Reconnecting With the Moon
If we do not live in the rhythm of the lunar cycle, we most likely will feel mood swings. Moreover, our emotional and even physical condition may deteriorate. Therefore, it is very important to understand the influence of nature on us and learn to live in harmony with it. Knowledge of the lunar cycles makes our lives much more pleasant and easier because we no longer "swim against the current" and contradict the world around us anymore. In addition, our health is significantly improved, because the internal processes in our body begin to occur in the most harmonious ways in resonance with the external.
If you want to influence the quality of the moon in your life, harmonize it and reconnect with lunar power, then full moon bath rituals are the most powerful and pleasant way to do it.
In this article, I want to share with you my three all-time favorite full moon bath rituals I like to perform. And as a bonus, I'll give you some tips on other practices you can do for balancing the Moon in your life.
Full Moon Bath Rituals
Full Moon Bath Ritual for Rejuvenation
During the full Moon period, the Moon has a rejuvenating, soothing effect on our body. That's why it's very beneficial to use the Moon's energy for rejuvenation benefits.
It is very good if you have access to the ocean, a lake or a pool during this period. Then just go and bathe in the moonlit path, realizing all the goodness of this moment. While you're swimming, imagine how your cells are updated, wrinkles are smoothed, and the whole body is rejuvenated.
If you are in an urban environment, then collect water in a jug and put it on the windowsill or take it out into the backyard, so that the Moon is reflected in the water. Let the water soak up the energy of the Moon for a while. Enter the tub with cool water, and pour into it the water from the jug. In a calm and meditative state, take a bath before going to bed. Feeling how all the cells of your body rejuvenate, the skin is filled with radiance and brilliance.
Full Moon Bath Ritual "Bathing in the Moonlight"
This is one of the easiest full Moon bath rituals to perform.
This ritual will help you with sexual appeal. Prepare a big jar, a silver spoon, three lemons, petals of three yellow roses (or a handful of dry Linden flowers, or chamomile), rose essential oil (or lemon, or patchouli, etc.).
The preparation part of the ritual should be performed out during the day before the full moon.
Early in the morning, pour clean water into the jar and put a silver spoon in it. Water should stand for at least 6 hours. Cut the slices of three lemons, put them in a jar, add rose petals (dried flowers must be brewed with boiling water and infused for 20 minutes) and essential oil. Put the jar on the windowsill so that it permeates the moonlight, and leave for the night.
The next day, in the evening, during the actual full Moon time, fill up the bathtub with warm water and slowly pour the contents of the jar. Then lie down in the bath, close your eyes and imagine swimming in a lake of moonlight, and visualize that you are absorbing lunar energy.
Take a bath for at least 20 minutes.
Cleansing Full Moon Bath Ritual
This is one of my favorite full Moon bath rituals!
This full Moon bath ritual will help you cleanse the body, mind, and spirit internal and external negativity and stagnant energy. It can be performed on the full Moon or the waning phase of the moon following the full Moon.
This ritual should be performed three nights in a row: the night before the full Moon, the full moon night, the night after the full Moon. Or you can perform it during the full Moon itself and two days later.
Cleanse the Energy of Your Bathroom
Before performing this ritual you should cleanse the bathroom itself with prayers, burning sage, or incense.
Set the intention for your cleansing bath – what do you want to let go of? For example, the root cause of a disease, anxiety, fear, or chronic negativity. It can also be envy, a negative dialogue with yourself, or obstacles in obtaining harmonious relationships in personal or professional activities.
Be ready to let go of all the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental consequences of trauma, hurtful words, evil actions, and negative thinking not only directed at yourself but also coming from you.
Prepare a white candle in advance, place it in a white or transparent candlestick or glass. Offer words or a prayer of gratitude to the Creator, the Moon, the Spirit, the Power for this healing procedure, for the spiritual gift given to the plants that you will use, which are given to us to help in healing and purification. Ask for the protection and blessings of spirit, the ancestors, the moon, and your mentors and guides.
Take the herbs. White sage is required, Basil and rosemary are desirable. You can also add lavender, mint or lemon, and marigolds. Boil water in a large pot and add a large handful of each herb.
Another good way is to wrap all the herbs in a piece of natural fabric. You can also bind a large bunch of herbs if they are collected or purchased in whole plants and this beam then carry out the cleansing.
Bring the herbs to a boil and then turn it off. Fill the bath up to three-quarters and add the herbs. If you use herbs in the fabric, make the bath water hotter and wait until they give their strength to the water.
Lie Down in the Bathtub
You should lie in the bath for at least 15 minutes.
It is extremely important that the water washed every part of your body, including your head. You can water yourself from a mug.
Now, when you water yourself or lie in the bath, it is recommended to say this intention:
"I return any energy that I may have received from someone, consciously or unconsciously, to my inner source, with blessing, peace, and love. I also take back my own personal power and energy that I have given, consciously or unconsciously, to restore integrity and balance."
It is best to say it out loud, with a strong intention three times.
When the cleansing is over, do not wash off the herbs and do not dry yourself off with a towel – let the body and head dry completely on their own.
For at least three days, refrain from watching violent or sad movies, and from being around people who don't resonate with your views, dreams, and spiritual pathway.
What Else Will Be Beneficial on Full Moon?
- Fasting
- Moon mantra chanting 108 times
- Staying connected with nature: walk in the forest, lie down on the ground, talk to the trees, hug them, etc.
- Wearing white clothes and pearls.
- Cooking for your family and friends will help to activate and balance the Moon energy.
- Charity.
- Talking with women without criticism on spiritual and self-development topics.
- Choral singing.
- Dancing.
- Taking care of the plants.
- Doing something nice and giving gifts to your mom or any other older women.
- Giving flowers to women.
The Bottom Line
Full Moon bath rituals should become consistent practices, especially for people living in cities, where there is not enough energy. When we refuse to let go of our past there is constant pressure on our energy and we feel disharmony, fatigue, and stress. Try to perform these full Moon bath rituals monthly. To do this, simply prepare the necessary ingredients for a few months in advance and follow the lunar calendar. And very soon you'll see how these simple yet powerful rituals transform your life. You will feel more connected with the Moon and our planet and will feel more balanced and calm.
Are Crystals for Protection Effective? The Different Types Vs. Their Uses
Do you use crystals for protection? We live at a time when negative energy saturates the world. The media, the government, and the general public seem to glorify bad vibes in place of good energy. Living in such environments can easily suck out our positivity without knowing.
How can you protect yourself in a natural way? In this article, I will share with you the information about different natural crystals for protection that you can include in your lifestyle to diffuse all the negative energy around you. But first, why use crystals?
The Basis of Crystals for Protection
Crystals have various healing and protective properties that can be tapped into depending on what situation you are dealing with.
For example:
Some crystals for protection block the negative energy from reaching you.
Others redirect the energy to another location.
Yet, other crystals may have little impact on you because of your natural tendency to impute the negativity.
Understanding your personality, therefore, helps you to pick the best crystals for protection that will resonate with you. However, you can experiment with some gems before settling for one.
Popular Crystals for Protection
Black Tourmaline
Do you work in a highly stressful environment? Are you in constant interaction with persons going through depression or anxiety? Wear this gem around your neck or wrist and watch this negative low vibes bounce off.
Are you surrounded by many electronics that produce harmful electromagnetic energy? Place a black tourmaline crystal next to your computer, TV, or stereo and it will absorb the negative energy around you.
We use the black tourmaline crystal for metaphysical purposes. Its protective ability boosts your immune system and attracts good luck. However, the stone's protective properties are limited to accidental negative energy. You may need to try labradorite instead of black tourmaline for bad psychic powers intentionally directed to you.
The labradorite crystal not only protects you from negative psychic energy directed towards you, but it also shields your positive energy from leaking out. Upon getting this crystal, users tend to have an immediate positive reaction to it. This is because of the stone's power in instantly dealing with evil spirits.
Wear this crystal as a pendant and you will not have to worry about other people's panic and nervousness rubbing on to you. Similarly, place it under your pillow to wade off evil spirits that cause you to have nightmares and hallucinations at night. The stone will calm you down almost instantly.
Are you dealing with people who have unresolved anger problems? Use the spiritual protection of amethyst to keep off such negative energy. Amethyst crystals have high-frequency vibrations that clean and protect your surrounding energy. These crystals work through the third eye and the crown chakra to boost your intuition.
This stone will also help you keep off from peer pressure, depression, and drug addictions. Use this beautiful purple crystal for meditation. When faced with confusion, this gem comes in hand to clear your head allowing you to reason rationally while under pressure. It not only protects but facilitates the healing of depression and anxiety.
Black Obsidian
The black obsidian is another stone with metaphysical properties similar to those of black tourmaline. It helps us to control our feelings and movement. Black Obsidian crystals were initially used for scrying. However, these crystals will also cleanse and protect your aura from negativity.
I wear this gem to deflect any form of fear, anger, or disharmony brought about by injuries and diseases. If your mind tends to wander into having negative thoughts, carry the black obsidian in your purse.
This stone works through the root chakra to block an incoming psychic attack and to clear your mental tension. Most people who find this appropriate for them are quickly drawn by its strong cleansing vibes.
This warm gem is neither a stone nor a crystal but a biological product of light and life preserved by nature for millions of years. Amber has physical, mental, and spiritual protective properties. It purifies the body from disease-causing negative energy. In addition, it neutralizes any curses and spells spoken against you.
Similarly, if you are prone to having phobia attacks and the fear of the unknown, keep amber near you to wade off the attacks and uplift your spirit. Amber's age-old properties will get rid of your negative moods and keep you free of anxiety and stress.
In addition, if your work environment makes you prone to depression, the amber gem will help you through by stabilizing your emotions.
Eye Agate
Eye Agate is a rare crystal with energies that connect to the universe. These stones restore the equilibrium of mind by balancing the energy around you. They are powerful must-haves when you go through anxiety attacks. Also when surrounded by strangers or in a new work environment. Or even when you face imminent danger.
Use Eye Agate for strength to quit bad habits and replace them with healthier ones. Pair Eye Agate with other crystals to bring balance to your chakras. By correcting whatever energy that is over stimulating your internal organs, this crystal puts you through a path of healing. It also helps to heal digestive problems, strengthening of the yoni, skin disorders, and other physical diseases.
Black Amber
Also called the jet stone, black amber offers physical, emotional, and spiritual protection from negative energies that affect persons who are naturally empathic. This is because whereas being empathic is a natural virtue that is desired by many, such an empathic character makes us prone to absorbing negative energies from the persons we are trying to comfort.
Carry this gem to your workplace or school to draw out any negative vibes that you absorb unintentionally. Moreover, complement the good properties of black amber by combining its use with hematite or any other crystals for protection.
As you seek to get the best crystals for protection, remember to regularly cleanse your crystals and recharge them under the sun as they dry. These crystals have several benefits that are relevant in our fast-paced lifestyle.
Choose one or more crystals for protection that matches your lifestyle and personality. Adorn them as pendants, include them in your interior décor, bathe in them, or use them in your daily meditation: whichever option that works for you.

Google Glass just got a big upgrade for its camera, with the release of new software that now better detects low-light situations and includes automatic High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) photo-taking capabilities.
The updated software release, which is being rolled out to the Explorer developers who received the first Glass devices, was unveiled by Google in a June 4 post on the Google+ Glass page.
"One of the great things about Glass is that the software automatically updates monthly, so Glass gets better every single month without you having to do a thing," the post said. "Today we're releasing new software for the camera on Glass. It captures a rapid sequence of shots behind the scenes every time you press the camera button which, when combined, gives you a better picture than what you would get with a single shot."
For Glass users, that means that they will get much-improved images when shooting in low light, according to the post. The improved software update will detect low-light situations and automatically capture a brighter, sharper picture, while HDR will now automatically be used to take pictures in bright scenes. The new software works even in tough situations where there are moving subjects, the post states. Google created an online album where viewers can see images taken with the old software and with the new version.
Further reading
The new captioning feature included in the software update now brings up a screen that invites users to add a caption to their photographs. When the message appears on Glass, users can tap the touchpad and speak their caption, and the caption is automatically created and placed with the image, according to the post.
This marks the second software update for Glass, with the first coming in early May when features such as incoming Google+ notifications for users were added. Also included in that first Glass XE5 software update was crash reporting for the devices, increased speed for transcription of queries and messages, and the inclusion of international number dialing and Short Message Service (SMS).
The very first Google Glass preview units began shipping in April only to Glass developers who signed up at the original June 2012 Google I/O conference to buy an early set for $1,500 for testing and development. The Glass project was unveiled officially for the first time to developers at that event, where Glass was the hit of the conference.
Each Google Glass device includes adjustable nose pads and a high-resolution display that Google said is the equivalent of a 25-inch high-definition screen from 8 feet away. The glasses also boast a built-in camera that takes 5-megapixel photos and video at 720p. Audio is delivered to wearers through their bones, using bone-conduction transducers that were revealed in earlier reports.
Google Glass isn't yet ready for the general public, but sales of the devices are now expected to begin sometime later this year, according to a recent eWEEK report. That's at least months earlier than the 2014 retail debut the company had been targeting since last year, a source inside Google told eWEEK. The source would not elaborate on why the retail launch schedule is being moved up.

What to expect once you're a dumpster diver
You've got the supplies, you've got the goodies. What else is there? Lots!
You WILL get cuts and bruises. One time I sneezed and jammed my face into the lip of the dumpster. It chipped my tooth. Another time the wind caught the lid and fell down on my head. Hard. I had a headache for two days.
But pain is gain right?
There is a good chance you will become a hoarder. From what I have gathered about divers from connecting on Facebook groups, most divers are hoarders. You get so much stuff – but you don't actually need it. I would be a bad hoarder if my dad didn't love to throw things out so much.
While I'm not saying only take what you personally need, I am saying have a plan before it comes home. Are you going to sell it? Donate it to a shelter? Give it to a friend? As long as you have a plan, you shouldn't become a hoarder.
You will get to try new things
This is especially true if you food dive. My family almost never ate pork chops. Then I found two cases every day for two weeks. We had never tried beef brisket before I found it (it's gross by the way.)
You will become accustomed to the finer things.
My family has a $200 Keurig. I wear more money on my face in makeup then some people have in their bank accounts. I now know what good quality sheets, blankets and pillows feel like. We have a $300 rug in our pantry. My cat has a condo that originally costs more than she did, or would have, if she hadn't been my foster.

Chamarajanagara (Kannada: ಚಾಮರಾಜನಗರ) is the southern-most district in the state of Karnataka, India. It was carved out of the original larger Mysore District in the year 1998. Chamarajanagara town is the headquarters of this district.It is named after Chamaraja Wodeyar IX (1774–1796), king of Mysore, who was born in the town. It is also one of the less developed towns in Karnataka, even though it is situated on the interstate that links Tamil Nadu and Kerala
It is the third least populous district in Karnataka (out of 30), after Kodagu and Bangalore Rural.
HistoryChamarajanagar was earlier known as Arikottara. Chamaraja Wodeyar, the Wodeyar king of Mysooru was born here and hence this place was renamed after him. The Vijaya Parsvanath Basadi, a holy Jain shrine was constructed by Punisadandanayaka, the commander of the Hoysala king Gangaraja in the year 1117 A.D.
GeographyBeing the southernmost district of Karnataka, Chamarajanagara district borders the state of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Specifically, it borders Mysooru district of Karnataka to the west and north, Mandya and Bengalooru districts of Karnataka to the north-east, Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu to the east, Salem and Erode districts of Tamil Nadu to the south-east, Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu to the south and Wayanad district of Kerala to the south-west.
Most of the district lies in the leeward region of the Nilgiris and consists of mainly semi-arid rain-dependent flatlands along with forested hills.
DemographicsHaving a large percentage of forest cover, the district also has a high population of forest-dwelling tribals; prominent among them are the Soligas, Yeravas, Jenu Kurubas and Betta Kurubas. These tribals have their own dialect and their total population is said to be around 82000. The literacy level of Chamarajanagara district is 51%.
Tourist placesChamarajanagar is also known as the 'Granite City'. There are many tourist spots to visit around the city. These are:
- Chamarajeshwara temple
- B R Hills (Biligiri Rangana Betta)
- Haralukote Anjaneya & Janardhanaswamy Temple is about 5 km from Chamarajanagar
- Bannari Amman Temple Bannari is about 60 km from Chamrajnagar
- K.Gudi (Jungle Lodge)
- MM Hills (Male Mahadeshwara Betta)
- Bandipura (Wild life Sanctuary)
- Talkad (Piligrimage centre)
- Somanathpur (Historical place)
- Shivanasamudra (Shivanasamudra Falls)
- Karivaradarayana Hills
- Himavadh Gopal Swamy Betta (Misty hilltop Temple with full of FOG)
- water reservoirs,Chikkahole and Suvarnavathi just 15 km from Chamarajanar.
- Boodhipadaga, Veerappan was jailed here.
- Sri Kshetra Kanakagiri, Jain Pilgrim Centre
- Parsvanatha Jain Basadi, A.D 1117, located at heart of the City.
RoadFrom the state capital Bangalore, the State Highway 17 can be used to reach Chamarajanagar via Mysore, Chamarajanagar is at a distance of 61 km from Mysore. The distance from Bangalore to Chamarajanagar is about 185 km. The Bangalore-Kanakapura-Kollegal-Chamarajanagar road can also be used with the distance being the same.
RailChamarajanagar-Nanjangud railway line was opened to service on 27 August 1926. Chamarajanagar has a new railway station since the railway track was upgraded to broad gauge from one metre gauge in November 2008. The project to construct a new railway line from Chamarajanagar to Satyamangalam, Gobichettipalayam, Erode is progressing slowly. It will reduce the distance between Bangalore and Chamarajanagar and other cities of Tamil Nadu. The proposal to extend the railway line further to Mettupalayam in Tamil Nadu has not yet received environmental clearance.
On the day of the new BG line inauguration, a local committee at Chamarajanagar presented a memorandum to the then Minister for Railways for State, Dr. Velu to take up the construction work between Chamarajanagar and Mettupalayam directly, and also to take up the construction work of the Bangalore—Mettupalayam railway line via Satyamangalam. They have conveyed the importance of connecting Satyamangalam with Gobichettipalayam and Erode. This proposal will bring the eastern as well as the western coastal regions closer to the northern region via Chamarajanagar.
Since Feb 2010, the Tirupati Express (213) has been extended to Chamarajanagar station and is the only long route train from Chamarajanagar.
In 2010, the railway budget proposed to conduct a survey for the newline between Chamarajanagar and Krishnagiri. This line will connect Chennai and Mysore directly; that means: through Chennai-Krishnagiri-Chamarajanagar-Mysore instead of the busy Chennai-Bangalore-Mysore route.
The 2011 railway budget proposed to conduct a survey for a newline between Tumkur and Chamarajanagar.
Railway StationChamarajanagar Railway Station is the 'Southern Most' rail point of Karnataka.Station code is CMNR.
AirThe nearest airport is MysoreMandakalli which is 52 km. The International airports are Bangalore located 236 km and Coimbatore located 134 km

Winter Stations is a series of outdoor art installation that bring a little color and whimsy to this dreariest of seasons. One of the standout designs comes from Department of Architectural Science Ryerson students Diana Koncan and Lily Jeon. Titled Snowcone, it joins the rest of the Winter Stations as a bold sculpture that looks like a snow-covered pinecone, hence its name.
The Winter Stations take over four lifeguard stands across Kew Beach in Toronto, Canada. By doing so, they bring new purpose to the lone structures, which continue to stand guard even in the cold. The Winter Stations also turn the beach in an outdoor gallery that helps people get through the worse of the season and outside to enjoy some fresh air.

On Mother's Day weekend we held "Quadfest" at our house, and celebrated with brunch and cake. The Uncles dubbed the occasion "Quadfest" due to celebrating Jack's birthday, my birthday, Papa's birthday and Mother's day all in one. It was a beautiful day so we ate under the maple tree and opened gifts and played in the yard. Jack tried to squirt everyone with his new squirt gun. Jacey got to use Jack's new beach towel to lay on. June helped me assemble my lego figures and then was happy pulling the heads on and off and on and off.
Once nap time hit, Jack came inside to quietly assemble his new lego. Uncle Jeff was happy to help him out with that. Jacey and Papa each took a couch to nap on. Jacey even let Papa use her blanket. June had to nap in her crib, but fell right asleep after all the commotion.

Big cuts expected in coalition forces
During an appearance with Rumsfeld, Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari repeated Iraqi assertions that the Americans should start to leave as soon as Iraqis are ready. "The great desire of the Iraqi people is to see the coalition forces be on their way out as [Iraqi security forces] take more responsibility," he said. But no one in the government wanted to see a surprise pullout, he added.
Are we edging toward the "get serious or get out" ultimatum? It's starting to look that way. There's no doubt that well trained Iraqi troops with support when needed can handle the foreign terrorists – that's mostly a matter of taking off the gloves and getting some cooperation from their fellow Iraqis. The challenge is to make sure they are well enough prepared for the more delicate task of dealing with Baathist elements that are engaged in what might legitimately be called "rebellion".

I normally don't do Halloween. I've never really been into it except for when I was a kid. That was a long time ago. :) I'm not totally against it, but I've never been crazy about haunted houses and spooky stuff. I have enough going on in my normal life that seems to scare the heck out of me.
Working at the GameStop corporate office, I thought I'd participate since they were having a costume contest. I also wanted to do it since nobody would expect me to play along.
My wife works with a lot of creative haristylists at Green Peridot Salon in Frisco. One of them is a make up artist. Sarah is definitely an artist. Her favorite holiday is Halloween. She dressed up as a cyborg a couple of years ago so I knew that she probably wouldn't be wearing this costume again.
I met with her early in the morning to have her apply the make up and hook me up with the cyborg gear. This was definitely the first time for make up, a fake eyelash, and whatever she put on my lips. It really took some getting used to. I didn't realize how hard it would be not touching my face throughout the day. It was fun trying to eat lunch without messing up the handiwork.
It was definitely a fun time wearing the outfit and playing Cyborg for the day. I got a lot of double takes and then… "nice!" comments. I also got a lot of strange looks when I went to Walmart. I'm usually the one giving the strange looks. :)
It was fun being a part of the costume contest. I didn't win, but I'm sure I came in a close second. I lost to HR as they were dressed up as Duck Dynasty. You just cannot beat those beards!

Eleven handicapper Eugene J Hanratty won today's Singles Stableford competition with an impressive 44pts over the white course in what were perfect playing conditions.
The Tournament Committee's decision to have a 9am shotgun start, in order to facilitate those who wanted to watch the drama unfold at the Ryder Cup, ensured that there was a rare early morning buzz around the clubhouse and Hanratty proved to be an impressive winner.
His score was built on an excellent 25 points over the front nine which included a blistering four hole run from the first to the fourth which yielded 15 points as he birdied holes one and three and parred two and four.
He added another birdie at the par-five fifth and eventually finished with three birdies and eight pars with just one blank at the index 18 par four 14th where he recorded a six.
Seventeen-handicapper Fearghal Duffy finished second, three points behind Hanratty with 23 handicapper Pat Daly taking third on 40pts after a back six countback.
Senan Duffy took the juvenile prize after a score of 35pts.

The release of the US' new strategy guidance review on January 3, 2012
is a development of far-reaching strategic consequence for South-East
Asia and its immediate neighbourhood, including India. Entitled
'Sustaining US Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century
Defense', the document outlines the revised US defence posture with
regard to its force deployment in future operations. While making a
strong case for "rebalancing towards the East", it proposes a
realignment of US force structure away from Europe, towards the
Asia-Pacific – a region it characterizes as being "inextricably"
connected with US economic and security interests.
A review of the US' strategic posture has been in the offing for some
time. The first signs of a shift in strategy came in November 2011
when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an essay published in the
Foreign Policy magazine, listed five focus-areas for a renewed US
strategic thrust in the Pacific: bilateral security, deepening working
relationships, multilateralism, trade, and human rights and democracy.
This was exactly the pitch a month later, when President Obama
declared the US' intention of forging a trans-Pacific trade zone at
the Asia Pacific Economic Summit (APEC) and announced a strategic
tie-up with Australia. But it was the East Asia summit (EAS) a few
days later, and the dissonance on display during the US President's
discussions with the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, that provided proof
(if any was needed) that the US had indeed decided to shift its gaze
to the East. The review merely formalizes a popular strand of thinking
within the US political establishment that the time has come for
Washington to follow its own economic interests. More significantly,
it indicates a departure from the present US strategy of preparing for
war simultaneously on two fronts, instead opting for credible
second-region deterrence while already engaged in large-scale
operations against the principal adversary.
The review acknowledges upfront that the US must revitalize its trade
relations with Southeast Asia. But significantly, there is an
underlying assumption that for nations in the Pacific Rim, the promise
of American 'security guarantees' which accompanies increased
cooperation in trade and other spheres, is an assurance much sought
after. Indeed, as China marches on relentlessly, there is
consternation among nations in South-East Asia over Beijing's growing
military and economic clout. But these countries are also quite happy
to feed-off China's economic growth. Even so, the review presumes that
for China's neighbours, the option of aligning with American interests
may be too tempting an 'insurance policy' to resist.
To be sure, the document does not hint at any overt confrontation with
China. All it purports to do is to give new direction to the US'
strategic vision. That the adversary happens to be China is made to
appear as a 'deductive conclusion'. In keeping with its 'mild' tenor,
the language used in articulating deep-held fears concerning China is
'calibrated' and the tone 'measured'. There is a conscious attempt at
sounding 'reasonable' and 'fair-minded' in laying out the new
imperatives necessitating a dramatic change in the US strategic
posture. So even as the review recognizes the criticality of shifting
focus to East Asia, it sets out clearly the rationale for the
significant downgrade in the US military presence in Europe – a
region, that the review professes, is now in itself a net provider of
But the biggest indication of the dilution in the US' overall
geo-strategic posture is the lack of fervour in articulating the
policy position in the Middle East. The review enunciates the US'
strategic stance in the region in an unimaginative and pro-forma way,
suggesting a reduced American military involvement in the region. In
light of the recent developments in the Persian Gulf and Washington's
litany of problems with the regime in Tehran, a more 'nuanced' and
'qualified' position on Iran would have helped in a clear delineation
of US' strategic intent in the region. Alas, the review only repeats
the long-held position on countering Iran's nuclear programme and
challenging the Iranian Navy's strident posturing in the Persian Gulf.
Conceivably, Iran is that 'second front' that the US plans only to
deter in the future.
The review acknowledges the imprudence of entering into costly
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and proposes a course-reversal.
Creditably, some of its propositions on reducing military presence are
"bold" in thought and expression. More importantly, perhaps, they are
reflective of serious introspection among US policy-makers over the
needlessly high commitment shown by America in its wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Clearly, the US policy elite now feel that the
Afghanistan and Iraq type of engagements are extravagances that their
nation can no longer afford to indulge in. The new thinking in
Washington appears to be that the Taliban and Haqqani group are not
adversaries worthy of full-spectrum engagement by the US, and that
American diplomatic and military assets must in the future only be
deployed in regions where the country stands to gain economically.
It has been clear for some time that in light of the prevailing bleak
fiscal environment, the American military's external presence will be
reduced to significantly lower levels. The Obama administration is set
to inflict $500 billion worth of cutbacks on the US defence budget in
the next five years. The review suggests that much of this austerity
would be directed at the US Army and the Marine Corps. Not
surprisingly, the review proposes a leaner, fitter and better-prepared
military. But even as it places emphasis on coalition operations,
Special Forces deployments and streamlined capabilities, there are
tantalizing clues that point to a radical shift away from large-scale
operations. In other words, the US' 'nation-building' and 'stabilizing
operations' will soon be a thing of the past, and its military will
conceivably shift focus to a 'counter-terrorism' approach - more
focused on 'neutralising hostiles' and 'political point-scoring', than
bringing about any long-term change on the ground.
To its credit, the Pentagon team that drafted the document has come up
with an honest appraisal of the prevailing geo-strategic dynamic by
recognising two fundamental truths; the unstoppable rise of China and
the perceptible decline in US economic power. The 'pivot' towards East
Asia is candidly described as an 'imperative' for America, as it is
just that region where the high-trajectory of economic growth lies. It
is also, quite simply put, a place too strategically significant for
the US to leave to the whims of the regional superpower, China.
The review documents key features that would allow for a decrease in
the size of the US overseas deployments, even while laying greater
emphasis on future technologies and R&D. This is perhaps driven by the
fear of being severely impacted by China's A2/AD capabilities, a key
theme in the US defence discourse. So there are proposals to invest in
emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles and cyber security to
ensure a more flexible response to emerging threats. This may also be
one reason why the US Air Force and Navy may be spared the ill-effects
of the budgetary cut-backs as they shoulder many of the cutting-edge
technology that the US now proposes to heavily invest in.
For India, the implications of this document are 'too stark' and 'too
serious' to miss. The document is replete with signs of a dramatic
change in the balance-of-power in the region – a re-alignment of
forces that would demand of India to take sides. One of the clearest
signs of the US' pitch for a strategic compact with India came early
this month when Admiral Robert Willard, the US Pacific Fleet
Commander, in a keynote address at the Hawaii Military Partnership
Conference, spoke about the review and noted that it stressed on
building a comprehensive strategic and economic relationship with
India. With a long-term strategic partnership with India, he said, the
US also wanted New Delhi to support its ability to serve as an
"economic anchor" in the Asia Pacific region.
India's policy elite have surely not been 'oblivious' of the tectonic
changes occurring in the region. But they have been rather
'impervious' to the rapidly emerging equations. For too long, India's
political and diplomatic establishment has been wary of getting into a
comprehensive strategic pact with the US. But New Delhi's inability to
figure out China's long term strategic intent in the region too has
been striking.
Needless to say, now is the time for India to undertake a
comprehensive appraisal of its strategic options.

At one point, Joseph Benavidez was the second-best flyweight around. In fact, when we last saw him back in 2016, he was the man who could beat everyone except champ Demetrious Johnson.
But Benavidez was relegated to the "injured list" soon after, and had to have all sorts of procedures done to cobble together some sort of athletic functionality, and, well, you know how well those go in combat sports…
Which is to say, this weekend Benavidez returns to face Sergio Pettis on the Fight Pass prelims of UFC 225, and we're going to learn if there is any room for the great Almost Champ in this modern world.
These are the facts:
- Benavidez beat Henry Cejudo, Zach Makovsky, Alie Bagautinov, Ian McCall, John Moraga… the list goes on.
- He's only ever lost to Dominick Cruz and "Mighty Mouse".
- He's been fighting since 2006, and all that wear and tear takes a toll – regardless of how much surgery and rehab fixes a person.
Saturday night could be inspiring, or it could be incredibly sad. Either way, we're going to know where Benavidez fits in.
Here's a preview vid for your troubles.

Woman named McBride had 6 grooms, police say
CNN - LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia (AP) -- Shawnta McBride is apparently more than living up to her name.
McBride, 31, has married five men without divorcing her first husband, according to warrants issued by Gwinnett County Police detectives. She is charged with five counts of bigamy and false swearing.
Police are searching for McBride, whose last known address was in Decatur.
McBride wed Robert K. Konaido in September 2004, according to court records. The arrest warrants say she has since married five other men at the county courthouse.
Police said her case is similar to those of two men arrested in the suburban Atlanta county in September. Police suspect the men married half a dozen or more women each to help them gain American citizenship.
Four of McBride's grooms were born in Ghana, one was from Morocco and one was a London native, said Lorraine Stafford, the Probate Court administrator.

FREE Soccer Training Tips from Coerver Coaching - Signup Now
Coerver Coaching's ULTIMATE Bundle - Get Every DVD & Online Version
Field size: 30 yards by 20 yards
Number of players: 12 players total; players work in pairs
Age range: 6-8
Description: Players pair up and one player has a ball at their feet. Players are numbered off from 1 through 6 – pairs will have the same number, one being the designated dribble and one the chaser.
When their number is called out they race around the circle, the player with the ball dribbles and the other chases. Player dribbling tries to beat the player without the ball back to their original position while the defender tries to kick the ball away. Chaser has to count to three before they can give chase.
The coach calls out another number after the player gets back in place or the defender wins the ball. Switch the chasers and the dribblers roles after a few rounds.
If the chaser/defender catches up to the dribbler, they can still try to get past the chaser or shield the ball from them and get back into their position in the circle first. However, only give these players a short amount of time before calling the play dead and calling out a new number.
The focus for this drill is keeping the ball close to you, getting the head up, and dribbling around the circle without letting the ball get away.
Equipment needed: Cones and practice vests.
Quote of the Month:
"There is always someone out there getting better than you by training harder than you."

Ky Liquibeads Vaginal MoisturizerReviewing: Ky Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer | Rating:
Vaginal dryness can make your sex life come to a screeching halt, so hubby and I are always on the lookout for something to help out with this problem.
KY Liquibeads Vaginal Moisturizer is the best product we've tried so far. There's no mess, no smell, no sticky residue, no taste, it's long lasting, and is quite handy to use.
Inside the box you'll find 6 ovule inserts and 6 disposable applicators. The applicators are similar to those used to insert a tampon and are very easy to use. The ovules are oval and small and have built in moisturizing properties along with lubricating ingredients.
The thing I like most about the KY ovules are that you can insert them ahead of time before you have sexual intercourse, so there are no interruptions that stop the action and the ovule starts to disssolve within minutes so even if you aren't prepared ahead of time it does not take long for the lubricant to start working.
KY Liquibeads gets 5 out of 5 stars from me and my hubby!
