How Bluetooth Creates a Connection
Bluetooth takes small-area networking to the next level by removing the need for user intervention and keeping transmission power extremely low to save battery power. Picture this: You're on your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, standing outside the door to your house. You tell the person on the other end of the line to call you back in five minutes so you can get in the house and put your stuff away. As soon as you walk in the house, the map you received on your cell phone from your car's Bluetooth-enabled GPS system is automatically sent to your Bluetooth-enabled computer, because your cell phone picked up a Bluetooth signal from your PC and automatically sent the data you designated for transfer. Five minutes later, when your friend calls you back, your Bluetooth-enabled home phone rings instead of your cell phone. The person called the same number, but your home phone picked up the Bluetooth signal from your cell phone and automatically re-routed the call because it realized you were home. And each transmission signal to and from your cell phone consumes just 1 milliwatt of power, so your cell phone charge is virtually unaffected by all of this activity.
Bluetooth is essentially a networking standard that works at two levels:
- It provides agreement at the physical level -- Bluetooth is a radio-frequency standard.
- It provides agreement at the protocol level, where products have to agree on when bits are sent, how many will be sent at a time, and how the parties in a conversation can be sure that the message received is the same as the message sent.
The big draws of Bluetooth are that it is wireless, inexpensive and automatic. There are other ways to get around using wires, including infrared communication. Infrared (IR) refers to light waves of a lower frequency than human eyes can receive and interpret. Infrared is used in most television remote control systems. Infrared communications are fairly reliable and don't cost very much to build into a device, but there are a couple of drawbacks. First, infrared is a "line of sight" technology. For example, you have to point the remote control at the television or DVD player to make things happen. The second drawback is that infrared is almost always a "one to one" technology. You can send data between your desktop computer and your laptop computer, but not your laptop computer and your PDA at the same time. (See How Remote Controls Work to learn more about infrared communication.)
These two qualities of infrared are actually advantageous in some regards. Because infrared transmitters and receivers have to be lined up with each other, interference between devices is uncommon. The one-to-one nature of infrared communications is useful in that you can make sure a message goes only to the intended recipient, even in a room full of infrared receivers.
Bluetooth is intended to get around the problems that come with infrared systems. The older Bluetooth 1.0 standard has a maximum transfer speed of 1 megabit per second (Mbps), while Bluetooth 2.0 can manage up to 3 Mbps. Bluetooth 2.0 is backward-compatible with 1.0 devices.
Let's find out how Bluetooth networking works.

The DeWalt DW618PK is a combo pack router. It comes with the router (2.25 HP, supporting both 1/4 and 1/2 bits) itself and two different bases. The first is a fixed base and the second is a plunge. There isn't much to say about the fixed base, as it's a really simple design. Cam lock and two opposing buttons to secure it and a large screw ring for fine adjustments. It works as advertised. That's the base that I leave permanently attached to my router table. I then swap out the router into the plunge base when I'm doing hinge mortises. The depth stop works really well and the fit and finish of the router has been great. I love the detachable power cable. The other cool thing from an operational point of view is the soft start. I have a 1 HP Makita router that doesn't have the feature and turning it on can be a little jarring.
The one downside that I have with this router is also a pro. Kind of weird, I know. The carry case that it comes with is massive, so it's a pain to find a place for it. The cool part though, is that because it's so big, it ends up being really forgiving when you're putting the tool away. You don't have to make sure that everything is factory reset into the special cavities in just the right way. That's kind of a pleasure.
I did an unboxing video below if you want to see everything that it comes with, but for the sake of this review, I am pretty darn happy with this router.

Amazing reports with plenty of fish offshore at the moment. There have been schools of smaller spotty mackerel up to 4kg around of Point Cartwright and around the Gneering Shoal with some bigger spaniards around for the taking. Floating out pilchards on a lightly weighted line has been the best for results or slow trolling small medium diving minnows. Wahoo and mahi mahi are out wider around Wide Caloundra with recent catches coming in around 22kg for the biggest who but most fish are around the 8kg mark. Like, who cares as any day you get on to them is a good day. Trolling large divers and skirts are the best way to get them hooked. North around Coolum and Noosa there have been great catches of mackerel and they have been mixed amongst the tuna schools that have been ravaging the bait balls.
The reefies are still around with pearl perch and the occasional cracker snapper being caught out around the Barwon Banks and the Hards. Murphy's and the Caloundra 12 mile have also good numbers of sweetlip and tuskfish for the taking. Live bait has been the killer on the bigger reefies so it is worth spending some time getting it. Try around Currimundi Reef and from there you can troll for mackerel down to Brays Rock or lay out a few livies on a balloon or floater.
The estuaries have been giving up trevally and queenies with some smaller tarpon being caught in the early mornings in the Pelican Waters canals. Through the day things go quiet but in the evening the whiting and bream start to move again along with the flathead. Smaller bream are being caught fro the Boardwalk in Caloundra and whiting and small dart are in the surf area of Happy Valley. The Blue Hole is worth a cast for bream and chopper tailor but the changing tide is the time you will need to be there in for best results. Military Jetty and the Gemini Pontoon are two other good spots to take the kids this long weekend to get amongst the bream. Yabbies, peeled prawns or fish strips are the better baits to try.
Overall it should be a good long weekend so take the time and enjoy it. Remember that patience is the key and if someone needs assistance please lend a hand. Have fun!

Carpentry at Lorain JVS This is an excellent place for students to learn basic carpentry skill in a real world environment. Students take advantage of this opportunity.
In this school you can experience all of the benefits that a technical institute has to offer. I have heard that students work with state of the art tools and machines. That is wonderful that they offer education with quality performance.
Another great thing about this school is that you can earn college credits while you are in the classes. Which will help drive down your cost of tuition. Another benefit about the school is that it is close to home for other students. Therefore this is a winning situation for anyone that is interested in becoming a carpenter or even if you're interested in just going to college and having your feet wet with college credits.
I believe that vocational schools and technical schools are some of the strong leading forces in America and around the world. With programs like these young men and women are able to get a sample and a piece of the real world. And schools like this one normally children will learn how to use carpentry tools, the importance of safety, they will get to build small basic carpentry projects. Which will later on turn into more complex carpentry projects.
I remember when I was in wood shop in middle school. We use to build all kinds of jewelry boxes and hearts bookshelves things of that nature. Actually one of my first projects is still in my parents' house today. It's a wooden shelf that is over 18 years old. I know that I may sound old but I'm only 32. For the students and teachers that are attending carpentry at Lorain JVS school spread the word about this website that is full of carpentry lesson, just as I have spread the word about you beautiful school. Thank you in advance and lets continue to grow and work together and build up our basic carpentry skills.

Life with Kid A... and the YaYa Sister/
Superstar Husband: (trying to get Kid A to do his business on the throne a little more expediently) "Come on, Kai, push it out!"
Kid A: (thinks for a minute) "Should I push the poop out with the bottom of my heart?"
Today I had a little talk with the two crazy kids about why we shouldn't pretend to breastfeed on each other's chests. (Kid A: "Can I have some of your num-nums, YaYa? Here, have some of mine!") Mainly I emphasized that num-nums are private. (By the way, num-nums is the word that Kid A not only uses for breast milk, since ever since I had YaYa, he's been calling breasts num-nums too. As in, my bra is for my num-nums.)
Boy, do I love Kid A. He seems to get sweeter and more ornery every day. Sometimes when we're hanging out he gets all mushy and his eyes fog over a little and he starts to heap extravagant compliments on me. "Hey Mama? I like your hair. It's so pretty. Um, Mama? I like your shirt. That's a nice orange color. I like those glasses. Are they new? I like the way your hands look. I like it when you touch my cheek..." Or, like today, he'll simply put one hand on each of my cheeks, stare into my eyes, and say, "I really like you, Mama." Wow. Blow me away. He reminds me of my brother Matty, who even through all our crazy teenage hate-you/love-you years would exclaim, "You're so beautiful!" if he saw me in a new outfit. The YaYa Sister? She's my girl, my little friend, my conspirator. But Kid A? Kid A is in love with me.
All of this flies out of my head, though, when he decides to make a long, drawn-out, annoying and loud issue during Renee's birthday supper about the fact that I, like the cruel mother I am, put SPAGHETTI SAUCE on his spaghetti. Imagine. This is the first time that sauce has ever been an issue. Perhaps his buddy Jed eating plain noodles had something to do with it. Cool kids don't eat sauce I guess.

Temples and Pyramids
Throughout the world, remnants and ruins of previous cultures and epochs have become destinations for travelers and sight-seerers since they were constructed. In modern times, these architectural structures are seen in more of a historical light and few who gaze upon these temples and structures see the care or thought, the underlying meaning or teaching left by that earlier man. They see instead, a photo-op or a physical representation of a picture they have kept in their head. People move about these living monuments, waiting for the tour to be over, so they can buy a shirt or book and then stop off at some welcoming establishment for their next Mai-Tai or beer.
Going back to a piece I wrote in this blog a few days ago, I referenced a trip to Washington D.C., taken by a Freemason (Symbol – Part III). In that experience, the prepared Mason can see the wondrous imagery in his mind, brought to life by the symbols carved, graved and sculpted by other Masons from the past. Even though it may be decades, centuries or even millennia later, the message is clear to those who can see.
The Great Pyramid stands now as it has stood for thousands of years. People visit it, climb it and photograph it without giving much thought to the work except how it was built. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead (Book of the Coming Forth of Day; Book of What is in the Duat), the Great Pyramid was known as the Temple of Amun/Amen which means the Secret House of the Hidden One. The word Pyramid comes from the Greek "pyra", meaning Fire or Light and "midos", meaning Measure…purimmiddoh, or "Light-Measures" (Fire in the Middle). The length of each side of the Great Pyramid is 9,131 Pyramid inches or Polar inches in length. If you add the sides' lengths, you get 36,524 Polar Inches. Adding the standard 2/10 of an inch for measurement error, you have 36,524.2, or 100 times the length of each year: 365.242 days. As we look further we find that the height of the Great Pyramid is equal to radius of the circle of solar cycle. The deeper aspect to this geometrical construct, is that in order to properly calculate the verified Pyramid Inch, the Pyramid builders would have had to have known the exact diameter of the Earth. As you can see, there is often more thought put into these ancient works, than is usually seen with the eye.
It may be that time has erased our references to those builders and the messages they left in the great temples and pyramids, or it may be that we, in our present state, may be too absorbed in self, in the material world, to see those things left to us from the past, in spirit and in mind. The notion that previous cultures translate as 'primitive' or unenlightened, may be incorrect. The fact may be that the ability to transcend; to comprehend and internalize the outer world, may have not only been present in previous cultures, but that previous epochs of man may have been well beyond the current range of comprehension as we know it now. As Obi-Wan (or maybe George Lucas) said, "Your focus determines your reality'. If one were to focus outwards just a bit and open their minds to new possibilities, instead of relying on what they "know", they may find reality to be something much different than they knew it to be. In regards to our journey on the path and seeing the physical experience as a mystical adventure, what roles do the standing temples and pyramids, left by the ancients, play in our present day Mystery Schools and what lessons are to be learned from them?

The Role of Silence – "Silence is Golden"
We've all heard the saying: Silence is Golden (Speech is Silver) but not many think about that age old axiom. Meditation has been called the "creation in the silence" by many and references to isolation and the removal of exterior influences abound in the meditation texts for over 4,000 years. While the esoteric references to the subject of gold are too numerous to mention in this brief text, a few dovetail nicely for our needs today. We will look at some additional background information pertaining to some intriguing aspects of a few of these references as well.
The first and most widely referenced allegorical golden symbol is the sun, our provider, nourisher and catalyst for creation on Earth. Its constant energetic action is reflected in the mind's constant awareness, even in sleep and the seemingly never ending internal chatter of thought. We've recently touched upon the symbol of the sun as it relates to the chakra system(See Daily Focus Meditation from 9SEP2009). Although seldom documented, the chakra system is closely tied to the endocrine system. Each chakra corresponds to a gland in the body. NOTE: If there is enough interest, I will explore these relationships in detail at a future time. Additionally, each gland has an affinity or pairing with a specific noble metal, in this case the pineal gland has correspondence with gold as a physical analogue to the esoteric evolution and perfection of consciousness; both the Philosopher's Stone of the Middle Ages. As you begin to understand sacred sciences and the unified teaching of Pharaonic Egypt, you will see how our differentiated sciences were once an integrated set of teachings. In short, there are relationships between mathematics, chemistry, music, physics and other disciplines which are not expressed in the modern scientific models for various reasons. Concepts such as shared resonance and harmonic proportion, in this instance there are analogous tendencies in say, the orbitals and vibrational harmonics of the gold atom which correspond to the composition, function, vibrational nature and structure of the pineal gland in a mutually beneficial way. These interactions can effect the spin or state of the gold atoms and conversely, the activity of the pineal gland, which relates to the third eye (see series on Symbol) or mind's eye (6th chakra); a key component in the meditation act. The fact that the practice of alchemy concerns the transmutation of base elements into gold (see today's Book Review) is another well known association to this metal that most alive today are aware of. We now have a very basic connection between gold and silence, in the context of meditation and alchemy.
It is in the silence or stillness that one is brought face to face with their own emotions and thoughts. During meditation, we access an inner realm which ceases to exist solely in either physical or non-physical manifest realities, yet shares aspects of both. The union of the above and the below; the higher and lower. I recently heard it said (see Movie Review from today), that the crucifixion scene itself, is a pointer to the mechanics and mysteries of mediation and the Inner tradition. As the Master teacher's hands were nailed down, or pinned (we also see a veiled astrotheological reference, as the stasis is in space and time as well; A "fixed-point" neither on earth or in the heavens) we see the pointer to stillness and reckoning with the internal. As one sits with themselves and begins to delve into their own being, their own recesses of consciousness and identity, their emotional constructs of the ego, the mediation process begins.
As we learn to slowly push away the constant inner dialog of the ego and begin to bear witness to our own thoughts as they appear and dissolve, we open the inner dialogue with the higher self and the Alchemical Great Work commences. In regards to our journey on the path and seeing the physical experience as a mystical adventure, what is the relationship of silence to consciousness and how does silence aid us in our non-meditative states?

The Role of Human Action
Over the past week we have looked at various aspects and roles related to meditation. Today I'd like to shift our focus slightly to the role of human action as it relates to a participatory society. In ancient Egypt, the culture was driven by a lofty goal which can scarcely be comprehended by the majority of minds alive today, yet they lived with a sense of purpose and their contributions to the culture they took part in were an integral part of who they were. Imagine a culture where everyone understood the cycle of reincarnation, lived without the massive gravity of overfed egos, were comfortable with who and what they were and saw their life as an expression of the divine principles and laws of nature. A Culture where status, money, title and race had nothing to do with a daily grind and quality of life, sharing, laughter and an overwhelming sense of unity was the norm.
The principle of love was discussed in this forum a few days ago and we will touch on that principle again briefly. As we move along this path, most of us will we eventually begin to see the world as it is, as illusion. At some point, we see the overwhelming evidence of this for ourselves and our life is never the same. It is at that point, that we understand our roles as creators and see the unity of ourselves, our fellow mankind and the Cosmic. As we deal with the people in the Game of Life, our Mystical Adventure, we always have the option to embrace the world around us and through our actions, partake in the many roles and dramas that we become aware of, or we can simple become part of the status-quo and try to forget. To embrace love, or embrace the construct of ego, fear.
It is in our actions, the participation in the human drama, that we see ourselves reflected in others and the world around us. In regards to our journey on the path and seeing the physical experience as a mystical adventure, how do our actions benefit the Illusion; the world around us and what is the role of love in our experience here on Earth?

The Role of Breath
The relationship of air, the opening of the vital pathways in the body and respiration in general, is an integral theme to the global body of esoteric knowledge going
back to the beginning of the teachings themselves. It is often the case that discourses in breathing, are frequently the first step in mystical lessons, healing arts and in many of the meditation practices.
It is often noted that in our breathing, we take in the vital life force surrounding our planet, to animate our bodies as we inhale and to expel waste energy and purify them as we exhale. The practice of Pranayama, or "control of the life force" is said to be more than 3,000 years old. This practice teaches control of, and specific uses for, various breathing techniques for the purposes of prolonging life, curing illness and attaining rarified states of mind.
In the ancient Egyptian temple of Luxor, the large hall of columns in the section of the temple representing the human chest and lungs (see part III of the series on Symbol), has elaborate carvings of the cycles of the moon at the base of each of the columns that correlate to not just the rising and falling of tides and the human chest cavity, but specific intervals of breath to induce altered states of mind as well. In regards to our journey on the path and seeing the physical experience as a mystical adventure, how does our ability to control the function of breath (the only vital function we are able to consciously control) relate to its purpose and use and how is this advantageous to those of us on the path?

Symbol – The Universal Language – Part III
In Parts I & II of this series we discussed how symbol is experienced in different ways by people at different points of advancement on the path and the nature and methods of how symbol is interpreted in my mind. We touched upon the role of symbol in Pharaonic Egypt and the unfolding of consciousness as one begins to see symbol at work in the world around them. Today we'll see some examples of how the use and application of symbolist teachings can contribute to a richer life and give insight into sacred and esoteric texts.
Once one has a grasp of symbol and the symbolist teachings that are imparted, it becomes easier to comprehend the messages and teaching contained in symbol and over time, allows for the initiate or student to move much faster. As a simple, somewhat recreational example, a trip to Washington D.C. by any Freemason with knowledge of Masonic and esoteric symbol becomes a truly amazing and eye-opening experience. Which, I can say is not only great fun, but in some ways quite moving. A completely new world is unveiled and it is quite an amazing experience that I do not have words to properly express.
As symbolist teachings become engrained and are active in the mind, one will begin to see the fundamental relationships between not only esoteric texts, but the traditional religious texts and articles of faith left to us by pervious generations as well as previous epochs. In regards to Egypt, a trip to the standing Egyptian Temples becomes a mind-blowing experience. In this case, we find not only a massive archive of hieroglyphic knowledge condensed in the symbols that adorn the walls and pillars or the structures left from that ancient time but also that the temples are themselves the teachings to be understood by current initiates. The harmonic proportions, sacred geometries and number theory contained in the actual structures begin to speak and impart knowledge to the prepared mind. Even one temporally removed by 4,000 years can still reap the benefits of the esoteric tradition today (see intro video on Magical egypt). In the case of the Temple at Luxor, the teachings reveal the nature of the human body expressed in the temple itself. In oldest part of the structure, the Holy of Holies, we find the center of the brain and the pineal gland (third eye). As you move from the top to the bottom of the temple, you are guided through the entire human physiology ending at the bottom, or feet of a human structure. From the esoteric lunar influence of tides in relationship to respiration to the semi-incomplete interconnected carvings on the opposing faces of a granite wall representing thought traversing the mind as they create a complete picture when superimposed. The experience is unlike any other.
As we look at disparate cultures and how symbol can still be relevant, I am reminded of a story of Alexander the Great. Alexander of Macedon conquered most of the known world during his lifetime and was himself an initiate of the Egyptian Mystery Schools. As he ventured across the eastern continents, we was known to take part in the religious worship of the peoples he conquered. He saw the fundamental truths and symbolic equalities in the religious allegory and rituals and could interpret those teachings within a common framework that transcended difference and religious fervor.
A serious student of symbolist teaching will eventually be confronted with the religious texts of the modern world. At this point, the texts loose all semblance of historical and chronological validity and the initiate sees and begins to understand the greater truths exposed to them. The expression of principles and laws, universal truths and allegorical interpretation lay in full view of the initiate and a completely new text appears. As these texts are experienced in a symbolic way, a deeper respect is often found and in many ways, an entirely new history is experienced.
This concludes our brief introduction to symbol and symbolic language. If there is continued interest by the readers of this blog, I will go into further detail on this subject. I hope you enjoyed this piece and I wish you well on your adventure ahead.
Symbol – The Universal Language – Part I
Symbol – The Universal Language – Part II
Symbol – The Universal Language – Part I
The use of symbols and the symbolic transmission of knowledge is an incredibly important tool and essential aspect of initiatic, esoteric and Inner traditions. Symbols have been used extensively and with great effectiveness since long before our current, accepted, world history record. I'd like to examine symbols, their role and relationship to mind, human mental development and the nature of consciousness in a small, three part series. Let's get started. So, what is symbol? The word symbol is defined as a thing that represents something else by association. It can be seen as a type of universal language as it does not require specific words to be understood. In the context of initiatic and esoteric orders and teachings, symbol may take on the light of a basic moral truth, principle or lesson. Symbols exist naturally in nature and esoterically within the mind of mankind.
It is in the comprehension and understanding of symbol, that new ideas are brought forth. As we explore the workings of symbol, we will begin to piece together a holistic picture; an understanding that draws from sources ancient and revered, as well as examine key principles of initiation and consciousness itself.
Symbols are often understood at disparate depths of thought between individuals, which is an interesting point in itself and worth noting. The initiatic traditions foster evolving change and growth, through successive initiations and through the private works of the intiates themselves. It is also important to note that all initiations are ultimately personal and private. Symbols take on new meaning and combine to form complex understanding and knowledge within the minds of prepared students and initiates on the path, as they progress. Deeper or advanced meaning to symbolism has existed since the dawning of the initiatic tradition and it is in these deeper meanings that the nature of spirit and mind unfolds.
As I began to think about this series and the role of symbol, especially in regards to initiatic orders and students of philosophy and esoteric teachings, it made sense for me to draw from my background in Egyptian esoteric studies and hieroglyphics. We will pick up tomorrow with the symbolic message of the Egyptian temples and the many interpretive levels of symbols in that context. If you choose to, reflect on the symbolic nature of hieroglyphics and why an advanced culture would elect to pass their knowledge on, for future cultures, using this method of information delivery and why these symbols (hieroglyphics) can represent many things to many people.
To Be Continued.

I created all of the photographs on this web page, so be happy to use them for: your students, residence-faculty projects or for your self. The work of Socialiniai Meno Projektai continues to flourish, and as a part of the exhibition of labor by people affected by homelessness currently running within the National Art Gallery of Lithuania, a discreet arts mission by Andrejaus Kibisovo is at the moment receiving rave reviews in nationwide press and TV. This coverage of an artist who lives exterior the system is quite exception.
The children love doing this artwork venture utilizing a tissue painted background behind the newspaper tissue painted birds. Arts Network supplies a supportive welcoming house for members to explore their creativity, study new artwork, crafts and IT abilities, put construction into their days, make preparations for training, volunteering and paid work, have interaction in exhibitions and most importantly have enjoyable, make buddies and belong someplace as a part of a group. Im doing martial arts for about 20 years and love to help others with finding their reply.
I assume this may be an important craft to do with the children utilizing beads, cash, shells, seeds, dried beans or grains, dried pasta, or whatever else you have got round the home. Rick's displays on pricing, arts client behavior, and thriving in a troublesome economic system are often featured in conferences nationwide. The skill to plan targeted options makes ARTS your associate for consulting services of any kind. Yes, martial arts has many benefits and you learn to look at issues and find attainable solutions, exploring choices! You and your kids can see, touch, find out about, and work together with these great creatures.
People from all around the world contribute to HubPages by sharing words and footage Get to know us a bit by studying what on a regular basis people have to say about Crafts & Handiwork , and Coloring Pages for Kids The breadth of content material on HubPages is broad, however every article is specific in its own special means! Martial arts are growing an increasing number of in style as they offer each stress relief and an gratifying approach to get in shape. Finally we counselors stunned the youngsters with a celebration, celebrating and commemorating our time at AXP.
The youngsters can have a good time making these homes and the homes could be a pleasant addition to your Halloween décor. As the system gained more reputation, Western countries started exhibiting interest in Asian Martial Arts in the late 19th century. It seems that our obsession with targets within health and social care, has blinded us to the very people we ought to be caring for and the all-prevailing 'administration culture' that dominates this sector is mirrored within the arts and cultural sector too. I love to observe children create with their very own minds…turn off the television…shut off your telephones get down on the ground and play together with your youngsters. We had two large expenses, specifically our annual exhibition and the rental for the hall. It was so easy – it confirmed me what drills to do in what order to help hold teaching easy for me and interesting for my children. It immediately attacked the lack of a universal commonplace" of martial arts rating.

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston has hinted at a "sad", "ugly" ending for the acclaimed drama.
The Emmy winner attended last night's (February 24) Oscars in support of his film Argo but took time to discuss the climax of his AMC series with The AP.
"There's nothing good, there's not going to be redemption," Cranston said of his character - chemistry teacher-turned-meth cook Walter White.
"It's going downhill - it's ugly."
Argo scooped three trophies at the 2013 Academy Awards, winning in the 'Best Picture', 'Best Adapted Screenplay' and 'Best Editing' categories.
Breaking Bad will return to AMC for its final eight episodes this summer - series creator Vince Gilligan previously told Digital Spy that he expects the show's finale to be divisive.
"I think it will be [satisfying] for a large majority of viewers, and that is certainly our intention, but when you make an investment in a television show, you tend to have a proprietary feeling towards it," he said.
"I will say, at the end of the day, we're gonna do our damnedest to make this thing end with a blast and end on a high note, in a way that will satisfy everyone but I think as we all know - there is no satisfying everyone! But we'll do our best."
Cranston is currently developing new TV projects with Sony Pictures Television.

In my opinion, the #FMRevolution needs to learn from the Occupy Wall Street protestors. What do I mean by that? In the video above, you'll see a segment from Family Medicine Rocks Podcast #21 last week where I talk about this in detail. In brief...
My friend Kevin Bernstein, of the Future of Family Medicine Blog, released a creative little video (#FMRevoluton video) getting people fired up about Family Medicine. Ever since it's release, it has made the rounds in the Family Medicine community, with numerous postings on people's and organization's facebook pages. And, as of this blog post, there have been over 1600 views (which in the FamMed community, I think qualifies as a "viral" video).
Even after all that - So What? What does it really mean? People really like a video that says Family Medicine is cool? To me, it means people really like to feel good about Family Medicine. Does that really change anything in the world? Does that really change anything in the health care system? No.
Here is where Occupy comes into the picture. We can all agree that Occupy has a lot of frustrated feelings about their world situation. But, they are doing something about it. They are not staying home and whining about things. Now, you may not agree with what Occupy is doing, but most of #FMRevolution is sitting at home, in front of their computer, clicking "like" on facebook and hoping the world changes around them.
Now, another video was also recently released and making the rounds in the Family Medicine community. This video is with my friend Sarah Sams and was produced by the AAFP. In this video, Sarah is talking about the impending Medicare cuts at the end of this year for physicians. She gives clear and concise advise on what we can DO to address the problem. Unfortunately, as of this posting, there have been only 200 you tube views. No, it doesn't give a happy feeling at the end of it like the #FMRevolution does. But, it gives a more important message.
Sarah Sams is Turning Emotion Into Action. And, I really believe that if #FMRevolution wants to succeed in its goals, the Family Medicine community needs to stop whining and complaining about what is going on in this broken healthcare system - and they need to DO something about it. For some people, it's contacting legislators and advocating for a permanent fix in the Medicare payment system before December 31, 2011. For other people, it's educating about what Family Medicine is really about and how the Patient Centered Medical Home can help our country. For others, it's something different.
If Family Physicians cannot be advocates for our own specialty, then who will?

At this age, lust and all sparks, bodily chemical reactions are at its peak.
I know that firsthand, don't bother and stress out.
I will spell to you clearly. BEEN THERE DONE THAT.
Please stick and listen.
Girl, you're young, beautiful, strong and smart.
Boy, you're young, handsome, strong and intelligent.
You may not know me, but in behalf of yourself I'm telling you to leave while it's still sunny and early.
This letter wasn't sent to threaten nor scare you but to be the voice of you.
And remind you that at the end of the tunnel, you'll end up with nothing and lost.
Your baggage is not the wife nor the husband, but the children in between.
But man, in terms of everything, you lost the fight.
You may have won the heart, body and soul, but mind you, your conscience will always fight you. In the end, you lose every single day you fight. Sure as hell, you can't see my point, but when time comes and you settle your fucking heart and mind, you'll realize I'm all right.
Deep inside you, I know you wanted your own family.
A children that would love and care for you.
Have you for one second, thought of her children as yours as much you foresee your own?
Or have you thought that they will always be at your conscience?
Their future may be clear as tomorrow but their parent's responsibility will always be linked to them. She may not have realized it now, but sooner or later it will hit them like death.
Girl, Boy, have you place yourself in behalf of the children?
I know love, its fuse and happiness, everything and all it has to offer. But as a friend, a foe and the voice of you're fucking in love heart and confused mind and death gripped soul, it will never get better.
You will always be wronged for loving and caring. You will always be the one to blame for nothing. I care for you, your mother and his children thus, here I am to speak.
You don't deserve to be the second best. Coz' no matter what happens the children will always be the first. Man, have you seen that coming? Or even can you stand the children hating you for nothing, or your own children for that matter? That when every time something happens and you needed the most he or she will always ran to his children first? I bet that didn't settle well.
It pained me in my heart what they has to go through and same to you.
Admittedly, I blame them both for everything, the root cause of everything. But thinking of your future as well as hers, his and the children, I know, nothing will end as good. Every one of you will be left devastated; there is no doubt in that. Those memories you'd shared treasure it and with heavy heart I say "use it to move forward".
These words, I write them with tears in my eyes, still no matter how long and righteous I write I have no right. You may say, I have not felt what you're feeling but I'll tell you, I know better. I can't neither blame both of you nor her and the children. But I sure want to save both of you from another mistake that neither you nor his conscience and guilt can't carry. In the end, you'll run to your mother and say that all along she is right. Remember, REGRET always comes LAST.
Girl, man your deserved better! Be strong and fight on!
The decision is yours to make. Either you stay and be with him and watch your back, listen to murmurs every now and then. Or leave, have a life and happiness. Find the man that can't live a second without you by his side. Don't settle until then. SAVE YOUR HEART!
But if you settle your heart and chose otherwise, it's a done deal. I'm here when your need me. I wish you the best and your future endeavors.
Your heart and mind. From a friend, a foe.
Mother and father. Future children.
Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.

TO sECOND-HALF ADULT MINISTRY
YES! Young Enough to Serve LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Friday, November 20, 2015 | 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Carriage House @ Glen Eyrie | 3820 N 30th Street, Colorado Springs, COLORADO
Please join us at magnificent Glen Eyrie for a day of training for those working with adults in their second half of life.
Hosted by Wes & Judy Wick, who founded YES! Young Enough to Serve eight years ago. Pete Menconi, author of The Intergenerational Church (and newest YES! board member), will help leaders better understand the different generations to help maximize ministry impact. Cavin Harper, Director of the Christian Grandparenting Network and author of Courageous Grandparenting, will also deliver his best advice for adults maximizing impact within their families.
- The Age Wave is upon us. Is your church running from it---or are you riding that wave for all it's worth?
- What do younger generations really think about older adults? - and why this matters.
- SO many hurts . . . SO many need Jesus . . . and SO many resources. Are you tapping into your seasoned adults - enough?
- What if second half adults became your church's role models, mentors, friends to anyone coming through your doors?
Are your adults over fifty ready for more?
- Praying more
- Learning more
- Serving more
- Connecting more intergenerationally---
- Making more disciples.
Expecting less and less of them is a common but colossal mistake. This sector of the population is growing phenomenally. Helping them thrive spiritually in their later years can breathe new life into your entire church, ministry and community.
Come young, come old. Renew your vision for the serving and disciple-making potential of adults in life's second half.
This packed-full and impactful day of training is for pastors, staff members, board members, laity - younger and older who want to see the generations connect better. Because YOU know - We're In This Together!

"Construction sculpture" is a modern departure from the classic connotations of art sculpture. The simple, linear lines of each piece translate into an intricacy that reflects and complements a space, while compelling the viewer to become a subjective observer. The compact complexity of each sculpture belies the artist's work method: "I do not do sketches of my work prior to constructing. If I did, I believe that I would be limited to a blueprint." Each piece is thoughtfully crafted by the artist as an elicitation of its surroundings. The result is an organic, energetic art piece with a sophistication evocative of nature.
Kip Pasta is a Chicago native who was recognized by the Chicago Artists' Coalition as a "Chicago Artist to Watch". View his accomplishments in Resume, Articles, and Exhibits .

I can't even count how many times I have started work in a new building or started a new PRN job and been told meal times so that I can go sit with patients during their meals for their therapy time. It's easy, right. I go sit in the dining room and "observe" 8 patients for signs and symptoms of dysphagia that I've already identified and remind patient A to use a chin tuck and patient b to eat at a slower pace.
This is how I learned dysphagia therapy. What was taught to me was to sit with them during the meal to work on trials, observe those trials and remind them to use their strategies. The reality: I tried to do my "job" however Mrs. Smith needed more coffee, could I be a dear and run Mrs. Brooks to the bathroom? I could never do my "job" because I was a waitress. With no tips.
Not only could I not do my "job", I was not doing anything for those patients! That is not rehabilitation. Look at it this way, if we never stress the system and remain at status quo, how will it improve? If I'm trying to run a 5k, I'm going to push myself to keep going a little further. If I continue to run around the block, I will never build the strength and endurance for a longer run. If we never challenge the swallowing system with a more difficult bolus, then how will my patient upgrade their diet.
Therapy should not be in the dining room. Just like I don't want a physical trainer to show up in the middle of my meal, our patients don't want us popping in at their meal time and "working" with them.
Let's challenge our patients and stop the observation!

[ are you safe ]
"Own your wounding or risk inflicting it on others!"
I will never forget hearing that line for the first time as I listened to a podcast from Men's Retreat session taught by John Eldredge. It resonated with me, and the years I have fought through my own wounding and pathology. It also rang true with the coaching I have done with leaders down through the years.
Most leaders are not very self-aware. Fewer still have had the courage to face their stuff. We lead out of our pathology… either for the good or bad.
Many are the wounded in the context of ministry for Christ. Much of that wounding comes from leaders who have little knowledge (and acceptance) of who they are as a person first, then a leader. Many ministers (and other leaders) lead out of ambition and a heavy reliance on natural abilities, as opposed to an increased spiritual authority. Many still are those who forge ahead, regardless of what their leadership may be inflicting on others.
Edwin Friedman, in his books "Generation to Generation" and "The Failure of Nerve," defines a leader this way: "A leader is a self-defined person with an non-anxious presence. I have taken that definition and brought it to a point of application; "Self-defined leaders know who they are, they know who they are not, and they are okay."
What does a self-define (self-aware) leader look like… in real life?
They are leaders who stop trying to be someone else.
They stopped trying to be who they think they should be, who others want them to be, and/or leading out of guilt, shame, ambition or lack of self-worth. Instead… they see as their greatest act of worship as a choice to be themselves.
Another way to all see is through the eyes of leadership…
Leadership is an issue of influence… much more than position. God shapes each of ours influence over time.
Influence is primarily the result of Spiritual Authority. The fragrance of Jesus on our lives, as a result of uour journey with Jesus.
Spiritual authority comes from a deeper work of Character and trust in Christ. As we go deeper in our trust, our character begins to look more like His character.
Character is shaped more often than not during our times of pain and Wounding. While all moments shape our lives, some of the most painful moments shape us more.
We call this the "Influence Continuum." And its flow works both directions.
As God takes us deeper down the continuum path, he also takes up the same path. As leaders allow God to heal the issues that often are deep within us, he grants to us greater godly, character. This builds (often unknown to a leader) a new sense of authority, which results in expanded influence.
So… back to the question… Are You Safe? And how do you know?
FOUR Categories of QUESTIONS that can Help
1. Do you know who you are… and are your comfortable with what you are? and what you are not? Do you understand how who you are, impacts others?
2. Are you aware of what the past (good and bad) may have done to you? And that your imprint on others is a result of your values and who you are, much more than your vision you communicate?
3. Do you allow others to help you… define you? We do not get to clarity alone. Have you broken the American-myth that flying "solo" and proving you can do it, is much more about ambition than Jesus.
4. Is your leadership characterized by what you "want us to see"… or by the healing Jesus continues to forge in you as you allow his redemptive work to continue in your life.
The less you know about you… the less you are safe for others.
And the less aware you are of what your pathology has done to you and your leadership… the greater the chance you will inflict your wounds on those you lead.
Something to think about.

Good Wed-nes-day to you all. I still say Wednesday like that in my head, does anyone else? The weather on my last few days off has meant lots of time outside and therefore lots of freckles emerging. I sure do love summer. What are all of your summer plans? Are any of you going away? Arranging a party? Doing something special like moving house a'la Michelle?
Now for a touch of news...
Steven Speilberg 'Poaching' a Dinosaur. Via Digg.com
Like seriously, what is wrong with the world? I first come across this picture when someone I know shared it on Facebook. It caught my attention for the ferocious amount of comments it had accrued, along with scathing remarks. When did people become such idiots? Poor Steven Speilberg is probably sitting on a yacht somewhere, PISSED THE HELL OFF at whoever took that picture when he made Jurassic Park. Poor bugger.
The 'New Black'. Via Buzzfeed.comLook how black this black is. It just looks like a never ending, deep space hole. Which is exactly how it's described. Read this fascinating article about this new material. Is it me? It definitely looks darker than 'old black'? Am I right?
How to Kill a Man With a Blowjob. Via Huffingtonpost.com
This is actually the most hilarious video in forever. Watch Angel explain something called 'the grapefruit technique.' and how they can allegedly cause heart attacks in men.
Free Arturo via Buzzfeed.com
You all would have seen about poor Arturo by now, and I don't want to make this Wednesday a sad end for you all. All I want to do is encourage you to, if you haven't yet already, sign the petition to move Arturo to a safer and healthier environment.

$\left(\nabla^2 - \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}\right)\phi = \frac{m^2c^2}{\hbar^2}\phi$
with the wave function $\phi$ being a relativistic scalar: a complex number which has the same numerical value in all frames of reference. The space and time derivatives both enter to second order. This has a telling consequence for the interpretation of the equation. Because the equation is second order in the time derivative, then by the nature of solving differential equations, one must specify both the initial values of the wave function itself and of its first time derivative, in order to solve definite problems. Because both may be specified more or less arbitrarily, the wave function cannot maintain its former role of determining the probability density of finding the electron in a given state of motion. In the Schrödinger theory, the probability density is given by the positive definite expression.
Can anyone explain this quote mathematically? Why is time and space derivatives being second order so problematic?

Lady Gaga is in her element at the 2019 Grammys.
The A Star Is Born phenom is busy taking the movie world by storm this awards season, but tonight it's all about Gaga's first love—music!
She finds herself nominated in an impressive five categories, with "Shallow"—the wildly popular breakout hit from A Star Is Born—up for Song and Record of the Year, as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Before the show officially began, the Recording Academy announced she had won Best Song Written for Visual Media for "Shallow" and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?)."
So with a total of 24 nominations and eight Grammy wins under her belt, is Gaga feeling the pressure this time around?
Not quite.
"I'm just so excited, I can't believe it," she told Ryan Seacrest reacting to the wins she'd already racked up.
Sharing the podium with her fellow "Shallow" collaborators Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt, Gaga opened up about the process the quartet utilized to craft that winning track. "Well, it's everybody sitting around together. A couple guitars, a bass, a piano, a typewriter," she said. "And just locking eyes."
Meanwhile, Gaga's A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper is overseas representing the critically-acclaimed film at the 2019 BAFTA Film Awards. There, she, Cooper and Lukas Nelson won the award for Original Music.
"I can't believe we just won Best Original Music @BAFTA's," Gaga tweeted. "I wish so much I was there but am at the Grammys to show them our love as well. We made a film about music. This means the world to me. Thank u to all our fans we love u so much, we wouldn't be here without u #BAFTAs."
Good luck to Gaga!
Watch E! this Sunday at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT for our Live From the Red Carpet: The 2019 Grammy Awardsspecial! After the ceremony, tune in to E!'s After Party: The 2019 Grammy Awards special at 11:30 p.m. And don't miss E! News on Monday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. for a recap of music's biggest night.

Last month I went into the dentist for a cleaning. Not just any cleaning- a scaling. They numb your gums and scrape under the gum line to remove bacteria. Even being numb, it was still painful at points throughout the procedure, but the greatest pain was not physical- it was emotional and deeply rooted.
As the hygienist scaled under the gum line and touched the roots of my teeth a flood of memories rushed in. All the negative things I have said to myself in my mind or under my breath over the years came knocking on the door of my subconscious. Tears filled my eyes.
"Are you doing okay?" the hygienist asked.
With teary red eyes and my mouth wide open I nodded head yes, because even though the memories of berating myself for not being good enough, pretty enough, strong enough, successful enough, rich enough, or happy enough walked across the stage of my mind one by one I knew I was going through the process of transformation and soon enough I would walk into the light on the other side of the pain.
Life is meant to be enjoyed not scrutinized.
I realized that I spent so many years disliking parts of myself and being so hard on myself that it left no space for me to see the great things about myself or acknowledge my own hard work and successes. So badly, the girl I cried for, the girl who was verbally abused by her own mind wanted to go back and actually enjoy those experiences, but the moment was gone like a bubble that burst. I realized that I would never get those moments back, but I knew I could start LIVING and ENJOYING my life NOW.
Awareness is the first step.
You can't change unless you are aware that there needs to be a change. Sometimes it takes a fine metal blade prodding against your gums to become aware, but you get the message. What needs to come through will always come through, whether you receive it graciously and use it to heal and move forward is another matter.
Your Participation is Necessary.
Once you know better you must do better. To be aware but not do anything about it is ignorance. Ignorance will keep you stuck in the same self-defeating patterns that you are trying to escape from. You must take radical action.
In the dentist chair I made a commitment to be hyper aware of my self talk and toss out any language that has gone sour. Going deeper into the matter I realized that all of my troubles were the result of not feeling good enough. I could not move forward in fitness, business, or relationships until I started to love myself more fully and that required me to speak nicely to myself.
It takes PRACTICE
I find that the enthusiasm for positive change comes and goes. I will sometimes look in the mirror and get down on myself, but when I notice myself slipping I have to hold onto what is good. I imagine it like falling down a steep hill, but there are strong roots in the hillside saying "look! I'm here to help. Just hold on and climb back up!"
I immediately replace the negative thought with a positive one and then act on the positive. I have learned that any action that comes from fear, hate, or inadequacy will eventually lead to unhappiness. So I am constantly looking for the good and vow to move forward from there.
Free Writing Practice in Your Daily Tracker
How do you speak to yourself? Is your mental voice a cheerleader or a drill sergeant? How can you speak to yourself in a way that will help move you in the direction of your most heart felt goals? If you only spoke with the utmost authenticity what would you really say to yourself, someone else, or the world?
Set a timer for 10 minutes and keep pen to paper- no thinking, just let it flow.

Kudos to Antoinette Garcia (Boston, '15). She recently accepted a position as an Associate Teacher with GT Partner Edward Brooke Charter School.
Can you tell us about the Associate Teacher role at Brooke and your scope of responsibilities?
AG: Associate Teachers participate in targeted professional development and co-planning sessions. I will slowly take on more and more classroom responsibilities as the year goes on. Associate Teachers also provide one-on-one tutoring, help with lesson planning and curriculum preparation, and ultimately lead their own classes and lessons.
What subject(s) and grade level(s) will you be working with?
AG: I am not sure what subject I will be working on to start or even the grade. In the next few days, I will learn which of the three locations I will be placed at. I'm excited to find out!
What are you most excited about?
AG: I am most excited to start building relationships and friendships with my co-workers and of course, excited to further develop the skills I need to become a better teacher and person. Also on that list is finding an apartment in Boston and generally being finished with my undergraduate studies!
What's your favorite memory from this summer?
AG: My favorite memory from this summer is dancing with my Health and Wellness Teaching Fellows and the vastly more talented kids in our periods and going on a spontaneous trip to Boston's Revere Beach!
What did you learn from the job process? Were you asked to submit performance tasks, do a demo lessons, or have been asked unexpected questions? Do you have any tips/words of advice for your TF peers?
AG: On the day of my final school visit/interview, I was asked a question I wasn't prepared for. My answer had very little to do with teaching or education as a general topic, but instead a writing course at Wellesley that I did not do well in. The most important thing for me was finding a way to link my past experiences to the new opportunity ahead of me. While I did not study education (and still kind of wish I had), these past four years have prepared me in many other ways, and it was an important moment for me to recognize that. No matter what, I know I can rely on support from my family, friends, classmates, and Teaching Fellow peers!

Preschool Starts This Week/
And truth be told, not a moment too soon. Middle child is tired of waiting, of watching his older brother head off to school, of hearing about his adventures on the bus.
"Preschool is SO! FAR! AWAY!" he keeps saying.
I've been thinking the same thing, buddy. It's time. For both of us.
On a related note, does this Playmobil remind you of anyone?
Let me give you a hint: It starts with "Una" and ends with "bomber."
You see it too, right?

Stars have held their own vs. Ducks this season
When the Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks drop the puck on their 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round series on Wednesday night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, it's a matchup replete with storylines.
Of course, this series pits two former Pacific Division rivals against one another and one where a longtime Star in defenseman Stephane Robidas, who was traded to Anaheim prior to the 2013 NHL Trade Deadline, is now playing for the Ducks.
And even though these teams are no longer in the same division after realignment, they did square off three times during the regular season. Here's a quick look back at those games:
Oct. 20, 2013 (6-3 Ducks)-Anaheim Blitzes Stars in SoCal
Dallas' top pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, Jack Campbell, who was taken 11th overall, made his NHL debut in this game at Honda Center and it was a tough debut to say the least. Campbell was under siege for much of the game as Anaheim finished with 47 shots, with Campbell stopping all but six of those attempts.
But this was a game where the Stars led 3-1 after the first period. However, the Ducks would erupt for a franchise-record 23 shots in the middle frame and three goals, part of a burst of five unanswered to prevail 6-3.
Ryan Getzlaf (goal, three assists) and Corey Perry (two goals, assist) were the big contributors for the victorious Ducks, who won their seventh straight. Anaheim also saw Craig Andersen, who replaced Jonas Hiller in goal after the first period win his NHL debut by stopping all 24 shots he faced.
Nov. 26, 2013 (6-3 Stars)-Dallas Notches Solid Win at AAC
The Stars gave their fans plenty to be thankful for from a hockey standpoint with an impressive 6-3 win over the Ducks at American Airlines Center two days before Thanksgiving. Anaheim led 1-0 after one period and 2-1 after 40 minutes of play after Nick Bonino scored just 36 seconds before the second intermission.
However, the Stars would erupt for five goals in the third, including three in a 53-second span from the likes of Cody Eakin, Robidas and Ryan Garbutt, to prevail by three on home ice. But was truly impressive about this victory was that neither captain Jamie Benn nor top offensive cog Tyler Seguin's names appeared on the stat sheet.
Dallas was instead led by a pair of goals by Antoine Roussel, who scored twice with family in town for the Thanksgiving holiday, a three-point night (goal, two assists) from Garbutt and two assists each from Erik Cole, Eakin and Vernon Fiddler. It was the sort of secondary scoring that brought a big smile to the face of first-year Stars head coach Lindy Ruff.
Feb. 1, 2014 (2-0 Stars)-Ducks Saddled with Rare Shutout
It had to happen sooner or later. At some point during the 2013-14 regular season there was going to come a night when the high-scoring Ducks offense was held at bay and they were shut out. Dallas was that team as backup goaltender Dan Ellis, who once patrolled the crease for Anaheim, stopped all 26 shots he faced as the Stars prevailed 2-0 at the Honda Center.
Trevor Daley delivered the game-winner for Dallas in the first period and Benn added an empty-netter with 29 seconds left as the Stars snapped a winless run that had reached five games. It was a nice moment for Ellis, who was also in net for Dallas when they beat the Ducks 6-3 at the AAC back on Nov. 26.
Daley's goal came when he tapped in a rebound, but it was Eakin who did the leg work. Eakin skated in on Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller and after his wrister was turned away by the Anaheim netminder, an opportunistic Daley was there to poke in the carom. Eakin had left the ice earlier in the game with a cut to the face, but returned to the bench and the ice in a nice show of heart by the hard-working and often unsung Stars center.

Dude, just go away. That "dumb dispute" was you going stalker at me (doing a shit job, mind you but still), after you pretended to be your "brother". Your "brother" that hacks.
That shit is not okay and you need to learn it. It's stupid fucks like you that made me super reluctant to join the clan in the first place cause I had to be in vent and therefore the rest would know I'm a card carrying vagina owner. I was worried that there would be people like you. People who use my gender against me, and I'm guessing you've done it to others as well. Call me a stupid motherfucker or whatever you want, there is no need to bring gender into it. No need to go all out stalker. That "stupid dispute" made me leave Battlefield and gaming in general for bit. It was a stark reminder that I can't get too comfortable anywhere in gaming, cause that woman card is always going to be hanging over my head. It wasn't the first time it happened, and it won't be the last.
So GTFO. That ban was permanent. No idea how you got unbanned, but I will continue to ban you until the server karks it or I no longer have privileges.
So again, don't be a creepy asshole. You need to understand that there are real people on the other side of the screen and your actions have consequences.

#1013 – Prompton April 29, 2010 at 12:00 am
A lesson that I will apparently never learn… I constantly show up to a meeting at the scheduled time only to find an empty room. I sit around for 5-10 minutes before giving up. I go back to my desk and verify that yes, that was the correct room. When I return, it has magically filled with the participants that all look up at me with a "What's with this guy always showing up late?" look on their faces.

We know the three Republicans vying to take Christopher Dodd's Senate seat (Schiff, McMahon, Simmons) and now here's the Democrat: Richard Blumenthal, the CT Attorney General.
During his tenure as AG, Blumenthal has followed the Spitzer-Cuomo-Brown activist model, going after large, publicly-hated corporations whenever possible.
These days that means finance.
The reason these AGs do this is to springboard to higher office, so obviously this was the moment that Blumenthal was planning for.
Among Blumenthal's targets: Countrywide and the hedge fund lobby.
Talk about 180 from the current situation.

Postpartum depression is commonly found in women who have recently given birth, some women suffer from it immediately afterwards, and for others it may take some time to appear. The symptoms can be quite severe and if left untreated can continue for years. As many as 80% of new mothers will experience some form of baby blues that can be very mild or severe depression. The lack of concentration and feeling of complete loneliness can overwhelm some new mothers. This makes it very hard to cope with their new baby.
Although this condition is a natural hormone imbalance that some women have it doesn't make it any easier to deal with it. Exercise has been proven to help with the symptoms, and speed the recovery time up. Not only can this help with losing the baby weight, but also can help you to bond with other new mothers. When you have a baby your whole life changes and you can feel very alone. You may feel that you have no one to talk to, however, by joining some sort of fitness class it can drastically help with the postpartum depression.
When you first come home the thought of exercising at all may seem very daunting, and you may even dismiss the whole idea. However, if you can overcome that initial reaction joining an exercise class will help you to get back to your former self. Being a new mom is fantastic; however, it can bring some very mixed emotions. You will need a fantastic support network, and often if this can be other mom's who are going through the same things as you. Having someone to talk to that really understands how you are feeling is a fantastic way to deal with the postpartum depression.
The actual exercise that you are participating in will of course help you to regain your shape, lose the weight and be more confident. It will also offer you the opportunity to leave the house, and meet up with other new mom's. It can become a social event that you will look forward to every week, helping you to recover from your postpartum depression faster. This condition is nothing to be embarrassed about, and learning to talk is a great tool when dealing with it. You should ensure that the exercise that you choose is suited to a new mom. You do not want to push your body too far, and cause injury or further problems.
Remaining fit and healthy in the first few months can help you to cope with the new level of activity that you are experiencing. You will be surprised how active you will need to be, and your new baby will keep you moving. However, you also need contact with the outside world, and talking to other new moms can help you to remain calm and sane during this mad period in your life. When you exercise the endorphins kick into your body making you feel healthier and happier about everything. If you can work through your postpartum depression, you can begin to enjoy the time with your new baby.

Baby Activist to West Coast Regional Coordinator/
Emily Wilkinson's involvement in the pro-life movement began in the late 80's in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was just a baby and her young activist parents would bring her along when they went outside of abortion centers with Pro-Life Action Ministries, and hold her during TV interviews.
Growing up, Emily began to feel like it wasn't enough to attend a march or a rally once a year. "I started to get this really uneasy feeling, like a tug on my heart," she explains. Rummaging through a shelf of her parents' old pro-life books one day, she found Joe Scheidler's famous CLOSED: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion. The book fascinated her and fueled her desire to become active in the movement.
Emily sees needs and wants to meet them. As a junior at a small Christian high school in 2004, Emily had never heard of the concept of a pro-life club before, but she knew she needed to start one. Following high school, she formed two more pro-life groups during college. The first January in her college town of Bozeman, MT, Emily found another need when she discovered that Bozeman had no annual March for Life, so she started one.
The speaker at that first March for Life was the director of a local pregnancy resource clinic. The following summer, that director called her to say, "I want you to work for me!" So Emily spent the next few years at the PRC developing its community outreach and pregnancy resources.
Eventually Emily was also leading 40 Days for Life down the highway in the community of Livingston, where a well-known abortionist named Susan Wicklund had set up shop right on the quaint downtown's Main Street. Emily grew 40 Days for Life to involve dozens of churches from several surrounding towns, but after reading the abortionist's disturbing autobiography, she wondered if Sue would ever give up committing abortions. However, shortly after passing on the campaign to new leaders when she moved away the following year, Emily received a phone call that brought her tears of joy: "Sue Wicklund is CLOSING!!!" This was a huge reminder that what is impossible for us is possible with God.
These days, you will find Emily travelling throughout CA, AZ, and NV to visit school campuses and meet with students. She currently works as the West Coast Regional Coordinator with Students for Life of America, providing resources and training for high school and college pro-life clubs. Because SFLA was just beginning to grow its campus outreach when she was a student, Emily is thrilled to provide the direct support and mentorship that she would have benefitted from as a student club leader.
Emily has been running toward the cries of injustice her whole life. She has been involved in many different aspects of the pro-life movement, and believes that we need it ALL to end abortion: Clubs. Activism. Sidewalk counseling. Marches. Vigils. Prayer. Legislation. Resources for pregnant women. Dialogue. Pro-life preachers and pro-life politicians.
Emily believes that today's youth, known as the "Pro-Life Generation," will be the ones to end abortion. "Someday when abortion is abolished, future generations will look back on our movement. What will they say about us? Will they see how we ran towards the cries of injustice? Take a stand with Emily at the International ProLife Youth Conference this November 7-9th. Register today!
