Unified World Communications has added its name to the growing list of companies looking to hire Phones 4u staff following the high street retailers collapse. The Blackburn-based firm is targeting former Phones 4u staff members who have experience in the B2B sector.
Speaking exclusively to Mobile Unified World Communications' Director, Howard Jones said: 'I'm looking to find staff without paying silly agency fees. Generally these type of companies don't get you the type of people you're after anyway. I was aware that Phones 4u had set up B2B side to the company and I thought it might be a good way of attracting some quality employees.
'Vodafone has bought 140 Phones 4u stores, EE has taken nearly 60, but there are still a number that are set to close. We're looking for local candidates who have worked for Phones 4u know the industry and understand B2B. I'm looking for a range of different positons from customer service to sales.'

Truth is Angie the property business has always attracted spivs. The difference this time around is the banks and politicians got into the act as well, especially in relatively under developed Mediterranean countries. The smell of easy money was irresistible.
Can the market be repaired? Probably but it will take many years before confidence returns both buyers and lenders have been hurt badly.
I doubt we will see property booms again in my lifetime, regulation by government may see to that. However would you trust any politicians to act decisively? Just look at the EU debacle and how they waffle, pontificate and have endless meetings, never achieving diddly squat.

"Sky's The Limit, Painters of the Extreme" is a Street art documentary created by French filmmaker Jerome Thomas and made possible thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed all the expectations.
The documentary narrates the history of a growing international phenomenon that started nearly 70 years ago with the development of international muralist movements in the 1930s. Probably the most known and therefore important being the Mexican muralism.
As recounted by Thomas, in France, everything started in the 80s with the operation "13 walls 13 cities" by Jack Lang. After a decline, the movement was reborn with Tour Paris 13, but also the development of the advertising industry in Paris and their massive public space takeovers.
Having PANTÓNIO(Portugal)-KATRE(France)-JACE(France)-MARKO93(France)-ASTRO(France)-KOUKA(France)-INTI(Chili)-STEW(France)-SETH(France)-C215(France) and MADC(Germany) as protagonists, the documentary takes us on a trip through the history of development of todays neo-muralist movement.
In order to understand more about the film, I got in touch with Thomas. I didn't know much about him and I was intrigued by the fact that someone, that is mainly known for installations and films that question the entropy and fragility of living beings, had spent four years making a documentary about street art.
I was a bit surprised when I discovered that the reason behind this choice was his connection with the scene. Self-described as a "vandal", a graffiti writer, Jerome comes from a family of artists and was, since an early age, encouraged by his parents to open his mind to liberal arts. Around 1992 he created the French graffiti crew STS along with two close friends, Choc and Thom. During 1996-1997, the crew evolved and changed name to Steus, Vgtah (Jerome), Lao and 5kiem who built two home studios they used to record tracks. Teaming up with French artist Katre, they built a professional studio called FOLIMER.
After 7 years working at FOLIMER, the crew decided to focus on commercial filming, which Thomas said was a great learning experience lead to his first documentary. When talking about this period he doesn't hide his disappointment. Quoting Jerome: "during all these years I learned to shoot and edit videos, then it became a real job when i did my first documentary on the home-studio phenomena in 2004. I entered TV and made several documentaries, but the spirit in classic production is shit, they don't give a fuck about their subject, the earliest they finish it, the happiest they are. I'm the opposite. It is a pleasure for me to work for 5 years on a great subject."
"I was looking for an angle to speak about graffiti, a fresh approach, something new, I don't want to focus on the good old days or the golden age or the platinum age."
According to Thomas, the documentary intends to present a fresh approach to what we today call "Street Art" by drawing some parallels to the muralist movement from the 1930s and the rise of the so-called Neo-Muralism in France. The idea came to him after his friend Katre invited him to keep him with company while he was working at TOUR 13. It was when he saw Katre's wall completed that he realised that he wanted to make a documentary about how the movement became what it is today, tracing its development all the way to our days.
A the time, Thomas didn't know much about the history of Muralism, at least not until he got introduced to a French book about American Muralism written by Hervé Armand Bechy. Apart from this book and Murs Murs (1981), a film by Agnes Varda, there was according to Jerome little about the movement in France. Thomas was determined to change that.
It was while he was visiting Vitry that he came across Christian Guemy aka C215 and his team. The recording of this encounter became the first shots of what was to become Sky is the Limit.
Adopting a historical approach, he decided to focus on the roots of today's Neo Muralism by analysing it as a mixture of graffiti, urbanism, muralism and architecture; at times political, legal or illegal.
Contextualising the movement
In the process, Thomas recalls inviting John Pitman Weber, but he not only refused to be part of the documentary, but also forbid Thomas from using any images from the Chicago muralist pioneers by arguing that the documentary had nothing to do with the American movement in the 1980s.
Looking for alternatives Thomas came across Fabio Rieti, a 91-year-old French muralist that affirmatively saw a link between traditional Muralism and Neo-Muralism.
The idea was to contextualize the work and show how it relates, not only to the time it's being created in, but also to an essential need to express something. From the cave paintings at Lascaux Grottoes in southern France to the street art murals of today, people have been leaving signs of their own existence in many places around the world.
Since then, murals have covered the interiors and exteriors of public buildings through the centuries, often keeping their initial meaning and purpose. That is, to paint a picture of society created from stories based on common values and dreams and use it as a tool for social emancipation.
From being a subversive and radical act of creative vandalism, Street Art and Graffiti have now been popularised and absorbed by the art market and art institutions around the world, often being sponsored by corporate brands as creative interventions in the urban landscape.
When asked about the relationship between Street Art and gentrification, an issue addressed in the documentary, Jerome says he doesn't really see the problem with it. For him it has both positive and negatives implications as a sign for social mobility.
Street art has been used in diverse marketing strategies, and recently to promote gentrification. Anyhow, Jerome doesn't believe that painting murals on walls increase the price of properties:
"Painting murals doesn't rise the housing prices, I think Inti is right in the documentary when he says that we need to paint for everybody, because everybody needs art, more art, less advertisement. I also agree with ASTRO's point of view when he says that it is better to put colours in projects from the city." And he is probably right if you look at single murals as isolated phenomenons, but many studies highlight the fact that areas with a higher concentration of urban art such as murals, outdoor sculptures or even local art events, have experienced an increase in their market value.
Of course this is a discussion that can be debated. Thomas' main argument is that Neo-muralism, even when sometimes includes the expression of social discontent, it is also responsible for improving spaces where is performed bringing life and colour to the surrounding landscape.
Making the documentary, Thomas had an amazing opportunity to work with ten talented artists from around the globe. We hear them expressing their opinions about other artists, the way they define what they do and why they do it, weather and technical challenges, authorities, reactions from residents, etc.
After listening to what they had to say I wondered what were the biggest difficulties encountered by Thomas while filming the documentary. To this he answers that it was an everyday fight, then he adds:
"it's so physical you can't even imagine. You can't feel it in the documentary, but when Astro, Stew and Borondo tell you it's hard, it is really a fight. Painting his mural for example, Pantonio lost 5 kilos. No joke, the work is monumental, you go beyond your limits, and usually it's only for the fame. It feels like punching the wall with brushes. Sometimes you loose, sometimes you win. You have to be strong; mentally, physically, artistically and politically."
Thomas' team are the artists he meets and the documentary is a result of the experiences they share together; painting, talking, eating, laughing and sometimes struggling.
When asked if he would do it again, he didn't hesitate. The answer was yes, but also that he would consider cutting down the editing time to one month instead of a year. He laughs.
So what's next for Thomas? A documentary about dance! Yes, folks, a documentary about dance. How fun is that, isn't it?
Last December 'Sky is the Limit' won an award to the best documentary at the Short To The Point. International short film festival and Thomas is currently looking for a worldwide distributor. hint-hint.

What is Clash Royale?
Clash Royale is basically a virtual card game. Here you have to collect various types of cards and play these cards on the battlefield to defeat your enemy's tower. You have to earn different cards.

When you get into the game, you will be given a free handful gems and you have to use carefully these gems. The best strategy to play this game is spending gems to get better bang for your buck. This is how the overall game is.
Why do you need gems and gold?
Gems and gold have the most important role in this game. You cannot speed up the game without gems and gold. Game designers made this game in a way that you must need gems and gold to play and win the battles. Gems and gold are correlated in this game.

You can buy 1000 gold, 10,000 gold, and 100,000 gold by spending 60 gems, 500 gems and 4500 gems respectively. This is the inbuilt rule designed by the game makers. Best deal of earning gold is you can get 22.2 gold per gem and the cheapest deal of this game is you can get 16.6 gold per gem. Obviously, that deal is the best one from where you can earn more number of gold.
Now you have to spend your earned gold. The best way to spend gold is buy cards with your earned gold. These cards are available at the Clash Royale shop. Three new cards are generated in the shop automatically such as one common card, one rare card and one epic card in every 24 hours and you can buy those cards by spending gold.

Preakness Stakes Tix Sales Up 17%; Officials Credit Kegasus Marketing Campaign
Published May 11, 2011
SUNDAY FUNDAY: The THOROUGHBRED TIMES' Jeff Lowe reported the owners of Pimlico Race Course "may not move the Preakness Stakes to a later weekend anytime soon, but they will at least kick around the possibility of moving the classic from Saturday to Sunday in 2012." MI Developments Operations Dir Mike Rogers was "pleased enough with the results of a similar switch for this year's Florida Derby that he thinks moving the Preakness to the third Sunday in May, instead of the third Saturday in May, bears some consideration." Rogers said that the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, run the same weekend of the Preakness, "might reap similar benefits with a switch from Friday to Saturday at Pimlico." The Preakness "has been run on Saturday every year since 1930" (THOROUGHBREDTIMES.com, 5/9).
GOOD THINGS IN STORE? In Louisville, Gregory Hall in a front-page piece notes the Kentucky Derby's record crowd of 164,858 on Saturday was "a welcome sign for a horse-racing industry that has been reeling in recent years with falling attendance and smaller purses." While "no one is suggesting the numbers show that the industry's problems are fixed, Churchill officials view it as an indication that signature events such as the Derby have retained international appeal." CDI Exec VP & CFO Bill Mudd: "When I got this number, I went back to the team and said, 'Are we sure?'" CDI officials "credited several improvements in recent years for the higher numbers." Renovations completed six years ago "added suites and other premium seating through most of the length of the stretch," while the track also has "computerized its permanent reserved seating, making sure they were fully utilized" (Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL, 5/11).

Publisher: Dark Horse
Story: Mike Mignola & John Arcudi
Art: Kevin Nowlan
Lobster Johnson was always one of my favorite parts of the Hellboy mythos. A mysterious and violent vigilante dealing with crimes linked to the supernatural. This story by Mignola, Arcudi, and Nowlan continues that tradition in this latest adventure for Lobster Johnson.
In this story, Halloween night culminates with a trail of murders as Johnson tracks a killer down to find out who is really behind these heinous acts. What occurs is a shootout that brings in forbidden science and an ending that may not really ever end.
The art in this story is really clean and smooth, which is generally a great thing for a comic. Though for my preference, I like my noir stories to have a bit rougher and grimier look to them. This artwork is great, but I'm more for jagged and thick lining for such eerie and dark stories. This is just how I view noir stories, don't let that stop you from enjoying the work. Nowlan can draw violent scenes and dead bodies with a good level of creepiness to more than make up for what I think is too clean.
With my biggest complaint being that the art looks way too nice, I think you can see that this is maybe a book worth reading. The story gives plenty of action and unnerving science as one man tries to get what he wants by taking from those he finds to be wasting their life. A classic mad science quest for power without morals, and that's when Lobster Johnson steps in.
If you like pulp or noir stories that have a supernatural bent to them, you should give Lobster Johnson: Satan Smells A Rat a try. Its greatest sin may very well be that once it's over you'll crave more.

<< THE MORNING BUZZ: Our Oscar Poll Debuts Monday | Blog Home | THE MORNING BUZZ: Blue Light Blues >>
WORKING WEEKEND: U2, USA?15 Feb, 2002 By: Bruce Apar
The first 10 days in February saw the company hosting those retailers and distributors who carry "big pencils," in the bygone vernacular of retail buyers, at NFL Super Bowl and NBA All-Star weekends. Also on hand were members of the media, including Video Store editor-in-chief Kurt Indvik (Super Bowl) and yours truly (NBA All-Star Game).
USA is looking at units exceeding 300,000 on its Super Bowl video, due March 4 (it is the first Super Bowl video released day-and-date on DVD and VHS). Then there's the quarter-million copies it shipped on its Ultimate Jordan title (nobody returns those babies), featuring some older player who keeps coming back from retirements, only to contend once again for league MVP honors. And let's not overlook the 75,000 units on a number called Allen Iverson: The Answer, featuring the NBA's 2001 MVP and scourge-turned-hero of the City of Brotherly Love.
Okay, so those record-breaking numbers -- this will be the biggest-selling Super Bowl video to date -- do have something to do with it being of the best Super Bowls in a decade -- right down to the breathless, edge-of-the-seat, Hollywood finish, in the apt phrase of USA's ebullient Home Entertainment president Joe Amodei. "It was a great game, and people want to relive it," he says, "and the fact New England hasn't had a championship team in long, long time, so they're embracing it." USA is planning a major premiere event at Boston Commons March 5 to herald the video's arrival on store shelves.
And it has something to do with Amodei and marketing whiz Sal Scamardo working furiously to include U2's entire halftime performance on the DVD (sorry, VHS laggards, no U2 for you), a notable coup. Super Bowl meets Super Group, now on one video.
Having just seen the DVD's check disc Feb. 14, Amodei says "the U2 footage looks phenomenal. What stands out for me is the tribute to America. It works as an historical document that brings us back to the week and a half after 9/11 and what was going on in football stadiums across the country. Comments made by the Giants' Michael Strahan and Troy Vincent from the Philadelphia Eagles are very touching."
There are also segments on former Patriots quarterback Steve Grogan, longtime team broadcaster Dave Cappelletti, as well as close-ups on coach Bill Belichick, quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady, and running back Antowain Smith. There's enough packed onto the DVD that USA decided, while at the NBA All-Star Weekend, to expand from a five-gigabyte DVD to a DVD-9.
USA's sports success of late also has something to do with its showcasing marquee hoopsters like Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson (whose boyhood home, as USA's excellent Iverson video reveals, was on Jordan Road). Iverson's address these days is Phat Philly.
But you make your own good fortune, and in USA's case it derives from a market-savvy playbook written 18 months ago by Coach Amodei and his staff, under the aegis of USA Films chairman Scott Greeenstein.
In 2000, they went to the major sports leagues for which they hold distribution rights -- NBA, NFL and NHL -- to tell them the sports video business "has all but dried up," reports Amodei today. The remedy was to "stop doing normal, greatest hits-style videos and concentrate on significant players and significant teams. The key is to focus on a team's geographic area and throw all efforts at that city instead of on a national basis. That way, we are able to make our numbers."
A year and a half later, that forward-looking game plan is putting lots of points up on the company's P&L scoreboard. On releases with heavy local but scant nationwide appeal, like a NHL video commemorating the Toronto Maple Leafs' 75th anniversary, Amodei notes orders are ten times what they were previously.
The big story here, once again, is the inordinate power of DVD, especially on sports fans. That is to say, even though while market estimates put DVD players in 25 percent or more of U.S. homes at this point, those 300,000 units ordered on the Super Bowl video are 60 percent DVDs. In the case of Iverson's 75,000 copies, it's more like 70 percent. In four years, for Super Bowl XL -- logowear marketers will go to town on that one -- VHS copies will be as will be as hard to find as a game day ticket.
And the fact U2 wanted its performance on the Super Bowl DVD but not on the videocassette speaks volumes. Clearly, VHS picture and sound quality don't exactly enhance Bono's or his band's image in a world of entertainment defined by digital.
"DVD is helping us to revitalize this business," remarks Amodei. No surprise really. When sports are presented in anything other than linear, game-length mode -- as in an anthology or highlights or player biography -- VHS isn't in the same league as DVD when it comes to user convenience and content flexibility.
Amodei notes that 18 months ago, "when we first announced DVD titles, they all died right away. Now, the saturation is there."
And a final word about that 300,000-and-still-growing figure on USA's Super Bowl release. Some smart-aleck ninth-grader, who was chaperoning me for the weekend, offered unsolicited business advice to Amodei on how to jack up sales further: "It'd be in excess of 400,000 if you put the Playmates in." Amodei walked away from that remark shaking his head. Or maybe he was on his way to place a call to Playboy.
Tall Order: Pictured above (front, l to r) are USA Home Entertainment president Joe Amodei and USA Films chairman Scott Greenstein, who greeted three NBA greats at USA's NBA All-Star Weekend for distributors in Philadelphia Feb. 10 and 11. On hand were (rear, l to r) Moses Malone, Bill Russell and David Thomson.

SPRINGFIELD — Colleen K. Cook had used marijuana before, friends said, but three months ago she started snorting "bath salts" for a new thrill.
What Cook experienced, though, was prolonged bouts of paranoia that frightened her.
"She's convinced people are following her. She's convinced cameras are in her makeup compact; that cameras are in her shoes and in her car. And if you don't believe her, she starts yelling and screaming," her childhood friend, Connie Hiegel, said recently.
Cook's behavior was brought on by "bath salts," powerful synthetic stimulants that include a variety of chemicals sold in stores under a variety of street names such as Cloud Nine, Vanilla Sky and Ivory Wave.
At least eight states have outlawed the "bath salts," and Ohio lawmakers are considering a similar action.
But the toxic substance touted as a cocaine substitute has be-come a public health threat that has law enforcement and health officials worried more youths will experiment with it and the number of people who die from it will climb before the substance is banned nationwide.
The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported 302 calls about the product las year. This year, by May, the organization reported the number of calls about the drug had ballooned seven-fold to 2,237. It now ranks fourth among the most common concern of callers to poison control centers.
Heath Jolliff, medical director of the Central Ohio Poison Control Center, said the agency receives one to two calls a day about the drug, which causes users to become paranoid and experience hallucinations.
As "bath salts" dominate headlines, locally, some stores have policed themselves and are refusing to sell the products while others have pulled the drug from shelves.
Dream Merchant Smokeshop and Tattoo on East Main Street sold "bath salts" for about sixth months, but stopped carrying them after management saw what the products were doing to their customers.
"I'd rather take the loss (in revenue) as opposed to the loss of people," said Store Manager Kaye Kuhn.
Users became thin, careless and easily agitated, she said.
"It was like they had been on meth for a couple years."
Mike Oendah, owner of the East Main Street Express Smoke Shop, refused to sell "baths salts" in his store. "I don't care how much money I would make, I don't need it (in my store)," Oendah said. "I have four kids and I care about people."
"Bath salts," which is sold in small packets or small containers, has been marketed as fertilizer, stain remover and insect repellent, Jolliff said. "I don't think anybody who's buying these products is buying them for these reasons and we don't see any legitimate use of this product," Jolliff said. "But it's very addicting."
The drug is at least psychologically addicting, but likely not physiologically addicting, said Dr. Charles Russell, who has treated two cases and heard of a third in the Springfield Regional Medical Center emergency room.
The drug can be snorted, smoked, injected or taken orally and users range in age from as young as teenagers to people in their mid-40s and 50s.

A new 'Man of Steel'
Thursday, 6 September 2007
It is absolutely unacceptable for the US President to come over here and meddle in Australian politics.
The boost Bush gave to Rudd's campaign yesterday represents an unwelcome intrusion by a foreign power into the Australian democratic process. By making a big deal over Labor's position on Iraq, Bush has enabled Rudd to appear strong and principled on a policy that is basically a fudge. In reality, Labor's proposes only to withdraw 500 of Australia's 1400 troops, and those are mainly training troops from the safe areas in southern Iraq. Labor will still keep troops in Iraq in order to retain its commitment to the US alliance.
The ultimate irony is that as Bush touched on at the end of his press conference with Howard, the US administration effectively has the same policy of phased withdrawal. The recent influx of troops had such a significant effect after so little time, apparently, that the US can now start doing the opposite. The surge looks less like a renewed commitment by the US administration but a short term way of clamping down the troubles enough for the US to claim success and join the UK in stepping away from the mess.
The only one that is showing no signs of cutting and running is of course Howard himself. At a basic level, Australia's commitment to Iraq is so insignificant that the US and UK could do an awful lot of withdrawing before Australia's presence becomes even proportionate to theirs. If Rudd's principled 'withdrawal' from Iraq is a bit of a fraud, it is no less so than Howard's 'commitment', something pointed out nicely by Obama back in February. More importantly, however, being seen to back down on this position is practically impossible for a government that stands for barely anything else.

Specific, well thought-out content is important for a business website.
If you're looking to attract new customers with your website then you need content that will work to achieve this goal. You know that putting minimal effort into your website content will yield minimal results yet for some reason content gets put out of mind when it comes time to actually do the writing.
We tend to focus on the design, which is important, but we don't want to lose focus on the content. When it comes to attracting customers the design and the content need to work together.
When we talk about attracting customers it's important to realize there are a few different types of customers that are using the Internet to find information. For your business there are a few points along the sales funnel where your target customer will be.
First, there are customers out there that don't even realize they need something. They might have a problem or an inconvenience, but they aren't actively looking for a solution.
Second, there are customers looking for a solution. These customers are researching the problem they have and they're looking for any information that can help.
Third, there are customers that have found a solution or two and are looking at comparables to make sure they are making the right decision.
For this post we'll focus on customers that are in the research stage of the funnel. These folks are looking for solutions.
Here is how you can attract their attention.
Attract Researching Customers with Website Content
You've probably done research online before. Most people look to Google when they are looking for something. For the person that is researching solutions they have come to realize that something in their life is really getting out of control. They want more convenience or they want to eliminate that nagging issue. They go to Google or they ask a friend for a referral for something that might work.
Your goal, as a business owner with a website, is to be there when your target customer is in this stage of making a purchase.
Here are three steps to being there when your customers are searching for solutions.
First, create long service pages. A few months ago we talked about long form content on websites. When creating your selling content think about the conversations you have with prospective customers in real life. Think about the questions they ask and use your answers for the content on the website. Usually this process makes it easier to write content and you'll be surprised at how long the pages will actually get on your site and that's okay. The people that read long web pages are the people that actually pay for things.
Second, write point of view articles about the latest news. When people hear about certain industries or certain solutions they start researching. Usually the industry is new to these folks so they're looking for information on how they should interpret things. This is where you can come in and provide your point of view on specific topics. When people are searching for things they'll find your articles and visit your site. These articles build trust and show how you position yourself as a company.
Third, write how-to articles. Some people call this evergreen content. Others call it informational content. Whatever you call it the basic idea is to write the kind of content that gives direction on the basics in your industry. Some people in this stage of research like to think they can do something themselves. They look for how-to information with the idea that they can do it, but as they read more information or as they try to fix things they realize they need help. That's when they remember that you've provided great information. They trust you. They call you up and make a purchase. How-to articles are also great for sharing on social sites. When people discover something useful they tend to share it with peers. That means more referral and word of mouth for your company.
Those are three ways you can attract customers that are researching and looking for specific solutions. Focus on these types of content on your website and you should see your website getting more traffic from search engines and social sharing sites like Twitter and Facebook.

U.S. President Barack Obama has given his wife Michelle a birthday present that many mothers can only dream of -- time alone without the demands of children.
Her gift is to remain in Hawaii, where the Obama family spent a two-week vacation, to spend time with her friends ahead of her 50th birthday later this month.
President Obama and his two daughters, Sasha and Malia, left the warm breezes of the island of Oahu and boarded Air Force One late Saturday for the trip back to the icy winds of Washington.
It was not immediately clear when the first lady will return to the White House.
The president is expected to ratchet up his administration's push for an extension of emergency unemployment benefits upon his return to Washington.
Obama and his advisers have been pressing Congress to extend the federal aid to help out-of-work Americans who are searching for jobs.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.

In your session data after a meditation, the times for calm, neutral and active represent the proportion of time spent in each state during the session.
Muse measures your brain's natural electric field from outside your head while you meditate. At the end of your session, you are presented with a graph that presents these data in a way that helps you reflect on that session. The graph divides your session into three regions:
- Active: This is time spent with a wandering mind. Your attention was fluctuating. Whenever you notice your active mind and bring your attention back to the breath, you are awarded with a recovery.
- Neutral: This is your natural resting state. Your attention isn't fluctuating, but you aren't deeply focused either.
- Calm: A deep restful focus on your breath. These are moments when you're truly concentrated on your breath. If you're calm for long enough, you'll hear birds.
Birds: When you find a deep, restful focus on your breath for an extended period of time, you'll start to hear birds singing. Don't worry, this is part of the process! Over time, you'll learn to use the birds as a cue to settle even more deeply into focused attention.
Recoveries : Whenever you notice your mind wandering and bring your attention back, you are awarded with a recovery. Recoveries celebrate the moment when your mind traverses from active (wandering mind / fluctuating attention) to neutral (a natural state of rest). These are key to building the skill of focused attention and integrating the benefits of meditation into your daily life. Tap into your graph to see the exact moments where you recovered your attention highlighted in orange.
Calm Points are awarded for time spent meditating with a restful, focused mind. You receive 1 point for every second that your brain is in a natural state of rest (neutral), and 3 points for every second spent with deep restful focus on your breath (calm).
You don't receive any points for time spent active, but an active mind is very useful. When you hear the weather pick up and your mind is active, treat it as an opportunity to notice your wandering mind and bring your attention back.

Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Samantha Price
I got this recipe from my Grandmother. It's a basic tomato sauce that can have many things added to it to be more elaborate. Try it and let me know what you've done to make it your own!!! PS I've found that the best canned tomato products are Target's brand, I highly recommend using them!
★★★★★ 1 vote5
Large pot, can easily serve a family for multiple meals
30 Min
4 Hr
- 1 can(s)
- crushed tomatos (recommend target brand)
- 1 can(s)
- tomato puree (recommend target brand)
- 1 can(s)
- water
- 2 can(s)
- small cans of tomato paste (recommend target brand)
- 2 Tbsp
- oregano, dried
- 1 Tbsp
- parsley, italian
- 3 Tbsp
- garlic powder
- 1 sprig(s)
- bay leaf
- 1 medium
- onion, whole (skin removed, top and bottom sliced flat)
- 1 Tbsp
- basil, dried
- 1 dash(es)
- ginger
- 3 clove
- garlic
- 1 dash(es)
- extra virgin olive oil
How to Make Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
- 1Pour the cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato puree and tomato paste into a large stockpot. Fill up the empty puree can with water and add to stockpot.
- 2Cut ends of onion & peel. Put in stockpot whole.
- 3Put stockpot on stove & turn on high. You will want the sauce to just begin boiling and then you can turn it down to low.
- 4Add rest of ingredients while sauce is heating up. Stir well once everything is added.
- 5Sauce will thicken as you cook it. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get.
- 6I will often divide the sauce up into freezer bags or stackable tupperware and put into the freezer for easy dinners at a later date.
- 7I recommend adjusting the herbs to your own taste. This does not taste anything like a canned sauce! However, it is very healthy! Add meat, more garlic, veggies, cheese, cream, etc for each specific meal. Let me know what you've tried and what you think of the sauce!! Thank you!

Be-Do-Have. Many have heard this phrase but too often I hear myself, as well as those around me, working on the Have-Do-Be principle.
When I finally HAVE __________ (enough money, enough time, enough energy, a better relationship, a lover, the perfect house, the perfect body) then I will DO ___________ (work out more, work on whatever needs to be corrected, read more, sleep more, clean more, worry less, eat better, love more often, judge less) and I will BE __________(happy, secure, free, peace-filled, loving, healthy, the person I know I should be).
Sound familiar?
This is a trap. A very familiar, well worn, trap. You're never going to HAVE it all. There's always going to be something better, greener, thinner, prettier, calmer, and bigger that you're going to want. This is the way of the human mind. And I want to tell you that it has served you and all of humanity well, thus far. After all, we don't still live in caves and depend on our hunting and gathering skills to survive, do we?
This longing is why we as a human race have survived and thrived (for the most part) on this planet.
But we are not just substance on this land of substance trying to rise above the next substance. We are spiritual beings exploring this human experience. While HAVING has served our human side well, it doesn't always serve our spiritual side as well.
You must BE what you want to be. You must BE loving in order to DO loving things in order for you to HAVE love in your world. You must BE peaceful in order to DO peace-filled actions so that you can HAVE peace in your life. You don't attract what you want, you attract what you are! You can't fake out the Universe.
Yes, we've all seen those people who have money and success and they are just horrible people. Seems unfair, doesn't it? But they obviously are not happy. They need more and more and more to try to fill the void of who they are not. They are driven by the HAVE-DO-BE and there's not enough in this world to have before they can be. So, they collect and conquer and collect some more. It's a trap.
You've heard the phrase: Happiness is not getting what you want but wanting what you have. (I wish I could find who said that but a lot of people are claiming it and I'm not going to try to figure out who coined it.) You must choose happiness right now in order to be happy. You must choose to love no matter what. (Of course, healthy boundaries should not be forsaken for loving unconditionally. Different topic.)
When you choose what you are going to be, you will be challenged in that decision. If you choose to be patience, you will have lots of opportunities to practice patience. If you choose to be love, you will have lots of opportunities to demonstrate your choice to those who you may not want to love.
I believe part of this challenge is that we have awakened our awareness in this area. These same challenges have presented themselves many times before but now we're trying to react in a different manner. Just like any other new habit you are trying to form, it feels hard to accomplish. It feels like everything is difficult and that people are coming out of the woodwork just to trip you up! Do your best. And realize that when you don't act the way you wanted to, that at least you were aware that there is a better way available to you.
What qualities of other people do you appreciate? Those same qualities reside in you. Claim those. Breathe those. Realize that you have a choice to make. Today, choose to awaken to who you want to be and then put feet to that awareness and BE that. You will be amazed at what comes your way when first you choose to be your spiritual self!

Azhar Mahmood's all-round performance continued as Auckland Aces beat Kolkata Knight Riders Twenty20 Champions League.
Auckland restricted the 2012 Indian Premier League champions to 137-6 batting first at Newlands before chasing down that target with seven wickets and 14 balls to spare.
Mahmood, who helped Auckland in their second qualifying win over Hampshire last week, carried that form over as he helped to restrict the Knight Riders to a low total.
A 62-run partnership between Brendon McCullum (40 off 35 balls) and wicketkeeper Manvinder Bisla (38 off 24) had Kolkata poised for a big total at 72-1 in the ninth over, but the Aces then struck three times in the space of six balls and the Knight Riders never fully recovered.
Mahmood claimed two of those wickets, including the prized scalp of Jacques Kallis for a two-ball duck, and ended the innings with the outstanding figures of 3-16 from four overs.
Mahmood also contributed with the bat by scoring 51 from 42 balls, stuff.co.nz reports.
Auckland's second group match is against the Titans in Durban. (ANI)

St. Mark's works closely with other faith communities to live out God's mission of justice and reconciliation. We partner with local agencies, organize teams of volunteers, raise funds, host events, and continually seek creative ways to engage with our neighbors. Some of our partners and ways of engaging include:
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew
The St. Mark's chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, a national men's ministry of the Episcopal Church, mobilizes the congregation to help serve the needs of the wider community. Committing themselves to a discipline of prayer, study, and service, our Brothers serve as a primary touch-point for St. Mark's ministries in the local community. From leading construction projects for new camp facilities, to distributing Christmas gifts for families in need, and just about everything in between, the men of the Brotherhood lead by example and inspire greater community engagement among the entire parish.
Windham Area Interfaith Ministry (WAIM)
St. Mark's is one of 39 faith communities that comprise WAIM, an organization dedicated to the free redistribution of clothing, household goods and furniture to people who need them. WAIM is a volunteer driven organization that serves about 7,500 people a year via basic services and special programs, having recently expanded into the provision of energy assistance and administering funds to prevent homelessness. St. Mark's organizes teams of volunteers, makes donations of goods for redistribution, raises special funds, and participates actively in WAIM events. We put our money where our mouth is by making WAIM a core line in our budget at St. Mark's.
The Covenant Soup Kitchen
The middle school group at St. Mark's helps prepare monthly meals at the Covenant Soup Kitchen, a community feeding program based at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Willimantic. St. Mark's provides food, funds, and volunteer support for the soup kitchen's mission to provide "not only food, but an environment of care, love, support, and safety to those who come through our doors."
The No Freeze Shelter
St. Mark's provides volunteers and donations to the Windham Region No Freeze Hospitality Center, a community coalition dedicated to making sure no one is left out in the cold. The shelter's goal is to provide basic overnight accommodations from November through April of every year as a warm alternative to the makeshift camps along the Willimantic River where many of the Windham area's homeless live.
