Important new feature will be fully integrated eSignature capability through DocuSign
Public Company Information:
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At a press conference during the first day of IMPACT 2012, executives from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) shared details on a major initiative designed to transform the way Schwab serves independent advisors and advisors' clients. Schwab is seeking to enhance its already industry-leading service model through a significant, multi-year investment intended to help independent advisors serve their clients even more effectively in a new era of technology, increasing client expectations, and external forces like regulation.
"Advisors are facing a number of competing forces when it comes to meeting clients' needs and expectations. The world is getting more complex in terms of regulations and concerns about security and fraud, but at the same time clients want anytime, anywhere attention and access," said Naureen Hassan, senior vice present of client experience for Schwab Advisor Services. "We have seized this opportunity to take a fresh look at how we serve advisors and their clients and to look for ways to make processes simpler and more efficient.
According to Hassan, Schwab is focusing on several key areas of client experience, including eliminating the use of paper whenever possible; streamlining processes and reducing the number of steps required to complete key custody activities; optimizing technologies like mobile and cloud computing; and empowering Schwab's teams to provide an even higher level of client service.
"As part of this project, we are investing millions of dollars on advanced operations and servicing technology platforms so that our staff can raise the bar on the already industry-leading service they provide," said Hassan. "These investments will help automate many of the processes that our front line teams use every day and allow us to customize our workflows specifically for advisors and their needs. The results will be faster and more proactive service."
Technology empowering simpler workflows: eSignature through DocuSign
As part of this initiative, Schwab is also announcing a new relationship with DocuSign to enable eSignature capabilities on the majority of Schwab forms. From Schwab Advisor Center, advisors will be able to create electronic packages of forms that clients and prospects can review, complete, and sign online. Planned for rollout in 2013, Schwab's eSignature offering will ultimately eliminate virtually all hardcopy requirements for most common forms, minimizing needless back-and-forth and multiple hardcopy signatures, and allowing for faster account opening while still maintaining the highest levels of security and privacy.
"eSignature is one example of the ways in which we are looking to make the client experience simpler and more efficient," said Neesha Hathi, senior vice president, technology solutions for Schwab Advisor Services. "Technology itself only gets you so far and needs to be married to the workflows that advisors use in their offices. We are building eSignature into the fabric of Schwab Advisor Center in order to help advisors manage the initiation, completion, and status monitoring from a familiar and well-understood platform as well as vastly streamline the paperwork processes."
Advisors will have the ability to pre-fill fields on the forms and highlight fields for their clients to fill in. Advisors' clients will receive a customized e-mail notification instructing them to review, complete and electronically sign the form. Additionally, advisors will be able to check into Schwab Advisor Center to see the status of an application or form.
SchwabAlliance.com: Enhanced interaction for advisors and their clients
SchwabAlliance.com, the customized version of schwab.com for clients of advisors, will serve as an integral component of the future client experience. For example, clients of advisors using eSignature will be directed to Schwab Alliance to review and eSign forms.
"The vision for Schwab Alliance is that it becomes far more than a static web site where clients of advisors can access information about their accounts," said Hathi. "We think it has the potential to become a dynamic hub for ongoing interactions, providing a communication portal for advisors' clients that is managed by the advisor."
As part of this effort, Schwab recently introduced more ways for advisors to customize their clients' experiences on Schwab Alliance. Advisors can now choose from three online service packages for their clients: full access to all features, an option that requires clients to consult with advisors before trading and moving funds, and a limited view version that provides basic account information but doesn't provide online access to trading or money movement.
Continued investment in mobile technology
Hathi also noted that as part of the initiative to transform client experience, Schwab will continue to make significant investments in 2013 in mobile technologies. This follows the launch of the Schwab Advisor Center app for the iPad® announced on November 2, the current app for the iPhone® app for advisors, and the apps for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets available for their clients.
"Mobile capabilities will become a critical enabler of time-sensitive interactions between advisors and clients and also an important way that advisors can be more productive without compromising service," said Hathi.

MAHLER Bernstein Compl. Record. Vol. III 4775187
. . . [I] am immensely pleased with the sight and sound of both . . . these performances are . . . full of the excitement and intense commitment that Bernstein brought to the music of Gustav Mahler. The soundtrack for the Eighth admirably captures the vast array of instruments, choirs, soloists, and pipe organ, especially in the DTS 5.1 option.
I have incredible memories of performing Mahler's ninth symphony with the Royal Concertgebouw under Leonard Bernstein. He was extremely wild during the rehearsals, but calmed down during the concerts -- that rehearsal tension, though, led to phenomenal performances.

greenhouse admin necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 159 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
Learning math fundamentals big problem. This is a "change the world" idea to make the process of learning be more targeted, engaging and rewarding. Why not, right?
We're couple of concerned parents who developed assetbar.com are working on a rich, clean interface to help kids become 100% proficient on their basic math skills. We've been working very hard to make it engaging for the kids.
The backend technology is very powerful, so our learning system dynamically adjusts the problem to suit the child's ability. The child earns points for correct, fast answers, which can be spent in exchange for various rewards.
The main target group is educated and affluent parents with children 4-9 years old. The children may be in public, private, or international schools.
The parents care about their children's education and tend to be deeply involved: some of the parents will want their children to use the system to grow their math skills early, others will be interested that their child gets really solid on the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
To be clear, there will parents of a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, but the look and feel has to appeal to the educated and affluent.
Name is obviously about nurturing and growth. Building foundations. Connecting ideas, developing and expanding skills.
The basic thought is a stylized greenhouse with the text "math greenhouse", but you are free to be creative and innovative.
The name is a mouthful, so maybe there's a clever way to make it look smaller.
Avoid childen's primary colors and the "kids" look. Absolutely no bubbly, or crayon/chalk fonts or backwards r's.
This is targeting the parents, not the kids. This is premium. Don't look cheap. Favor elegant precision, but don't be too cold. Avoid cartoons and childishness.
Not too tall, say 55 px-ish. bonus love for favicon.
UPDATE: 1) Greenhouse is one word. If you like, you can split it across two rows,but whether one line or two, it must be in a consistent typeface & color. It's NOT just a house that is green, it's a greenhouse.
2) You can put a leaf on the roof, but not a chimney. Greenhouses don't have chimneys. Especially not polluting ones.

This story is about more than Jameis Winston now
So there you have it: Jameis Winston is your 2013 Heisman Trophy winner.
There, happy we got that out of the way? Good, let's now get into what's important after Florida State's star quarterback was cleared of accusations he sexually assaulted a woman:
The lives of many impacted by the story of one.
MORE: Winston not charged | Lawyer: QB focused on football
SI: Potential legal aftermath for Winston
The accuser. The accuser's boyfriend. Every person in every corner of our little sports world, overselling and overreacting to any bit of information about a woman who claimed she was attacked.
More than anything, this case hurts future victims of sexual assault. That's the biggest takeaway of all.
"The standard of proof is what we go by," said Florida state attorney Willie Meggs. "We would not have had the burden of proof."
This is no longer a sports story, people. This has become a societal story.
Where are we as a society when a packed press conference for a serious decision on a serious crime turns into a carnival of incredibly inappropriate smiling and laughter?
MORE: Watch the video
Where are we when a case against a popular sports figure becomes such a train wreck that former state senator turned lobbyist Al Lawson is standing behind Meggs during the press conference like the Speaker of the House stands behind the President of the United States?
Call me crazy, but if you're a woman and you've just experienced the most brutal, vile crime of mankind, there's no way in hell you're stepping into that mosh pit.
Let me make this very clear: Jameis Winston was not charged. That's it; the case has been closed, Meggs said.
This is no longer a Winston story. This is a story of women around the world — to make it closer to home: women in Tallahassee — who are attacked every day but can't see the light at the end of justice.
What happened in that Tallahassee courthouse Thursday afternoon did more to damage a woman's ability to pursue justice in cases of sexual assault than anything since the Duke lacrosse case.
The accuser not only had some form of sex with Winston, she also did so with her boyfriend, who wouldn't cooperate with the state attorney's office. Meggs said the accuser acknowledged having sex with her boyfriend, but wouldn't tell the state attorney's office who he was.
Meggs says the accuser's "memory recall of that night has been moving around quite a bit. There were memory lapses."
Make no mistake, issues of memory recall and lapses are not uncommon in cases of sexual assault, but if the alleged victim says she couldn't remember what happened, how does she know her boyfriend didn't attack her? How does she so positively know it was Winston, whom Meggs said she did not know? How does she then file a complaint?
Because of this allegation, one life (Winston) will be changed forever — no matter what the state attorney says. Not charged doesn't mean innocent, and Winston has to carry that unfair burden the rest of his life.
"I'll let you all decide that," Meggs said when asked of the lack of charges meant Winston was innocent.
So we are left with this: Winston is guilty by association, collateral damage from a case full of holes. The woman, meanwhile, has no resolution.
An hour after Meggs finished his press conference, Winston's attorney Tim Jansen held his own press conference and declared "organizations defamed" Winston. He also talked about potential legal action against the accuser.
He wanted to make clear that this wasn't consensual sex between Winston and the accuser, but a consensual "sexual act," and made clear to explain the woman "is not a victim at this point; she is a complainant and an accuser."
Meanwhile, according to the United States Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey, there are 237,868 victims of rape or sexual assault each year.
That's an average of one every two minutes.
What happened in Tallahassee today just made it harder for any victim to come forward. It has nothing to do with Jameis Winston or the Heisman Trophy or a national championship run.
It has everything to do with the lives of many impacted by the story of one.

Marines promoted inflated story for Medal of Honor winner
WASHINGTON — With Dakota Meyer standing at attention in his dress uniform, sweat glistening on his forehead under the television lights, President Barack Obama extolled the former Marine corporal for the "extraordinary actions" that had earned him the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for valor.
Obama told the audience in the White House East Room on Sept. 15 that Meyer had driven into the heart of a savage ambush in eastern Afghanistan against orders. He'd killed insurgents at near-point-blank range, twice leapt from his gun turret to rescue two dozen Afghan soldiers and saved the lives of 13 U.S. service members as he fought to recover the bodies of four comrades, the president said.
But there's a problem with this account: Crucial parts that the Marine Corps publicized and Obama described are untrue, unsubstantiated or exaggerated, according to dozens of military documents McClatchy examined.
Sworn statements by Meyer and others who participated in the battle indicate that he didn't save the lives of 13 U.S. service members, leave his vehicle to scoop up 24 Afghans on his first two rescue runs or lead the final push to retrieve the four dead Americans. Moreover, it's unclear from the documents whether Meyer disobeyed orders when he entered the Ganjgal Valley on Sept. 8, 2009.
The statements also offer no proof that the 23-year-old Kentucky native "personally killed at least eight Taliban insurgents," as the account on the Marine Corps website says. The driver of Meyer's vehicle attested to seeing "a single enemy go down." Read more at mcclatchydc.com »

And my dick must be dog food to these bitches' poodles
Felines on the free time, I'm tossing bitches' salads
And I'm eating up they croutons, Erica to Milan

Doo-rags to match, and I do sag
In fact, my hat is in tact with the Fubu pull over
Nigga, you pull over, fuck a Rover Range
And I'm driving a unicorn, plus my bitch is strange
And I'm the only fucking rapper without a chain
With a four finger ring like I can't spell my fucking name
And I go to Obama rallies screaming out "McCain"
Them ignorant thrashing mothafuckers is my gang
And the dirty Ladera, I can't forget where I came from
Nigga, you don't claim none, fun I am the teacher
White and black bitch like she's a mothafucking zebra

Synthesizer, I'm the mothafucking master
Nigga, I'm a bastard, I fuck with chord keys
Cause the sound lasts longer, bass drummer song
And a hi-hat made of plastic, nigga's sound is elastic
Nigga, you can bite this, unless you want to bite back
I didn't take my fucking Ritalin, this is a hype track
HypeTrack that and send it, nigga it's a sack shit
I had you motherfuckers eating salad like a fat bitch
Drop it, Ace the Creator, O.F.M, banging on your FM
Ace the Creator, drop the drums, nigga, thank you to HypeBeast
Jack and the Beanstalk is a traditional English fairy tale with obscure origins, but dating back to at least the 16th century.
The song's title references a line in the previous song on this album, "Bastard". The "beanstalk" refers to the rapper's penis.
This song includes many braggadocio rhymes and is mocking of rap sterotypes.

How to Play Videos in Widescreen on iPad
Your iPad easily plays videos, podcasts, movies, and TV shows. Videos on the iPad can play in three different sizes: widescreen view, full-screen view, and small view.
Tap the Play button.
The video displays in a full-screen version with a black border.
To go to an even larger view, tap the button in the top right corner.
The button has a white rectangle with an up and down arrow in it. When you tap this button, the movie fills the entire iPad screen.
To display the movie to its smallest size, tap the button on the right side of the playback controls.
This button is black with two white arrows pointing inward. When you tap this button, the movie is played in its smallest available size.
Tap the button in the upper right corner to return to full-screen view.
This button is black with two white arrows pointing outward. When you tap it, the movie is displayed in full-screen view.
You can use the double-tap method of enlarging the playback in either of the two larger screen formats. Double-tapping the smaller of the two moves you to the largest full-screen view. Double-tapping the largest full-screen view zooms in further. Depending on the quality of the video, the largest zoom factor can produce a rather grainy image.

This bread is just awesome. It's cheesy and has a slight tang from the herbs. None of these flavours are too over-powering, however, so the bread is light and perfect as a side with dinner. And this bread was tested by my extremely picky nine-year-old sister, so it's totally kid-friendly. I love this bread, and I will definitely be making this recipe again!
Mozzarella Herb Bread
Yield: One 1.5 pound loaf (approx. 6-8 slices)
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/4 cup dry milk powder
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white sugar

DBIx::Class::Helper::Schema::GenerateSource - Generate sources directly from your Schema
package MyApp::Schema; __PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::Schema::GenerateSource'); __PACKAGE__->generate_source(User => 'MyCompany::BaseResult::User');
This helper allows you to handily and correctly add new result sources to your schema based on existing result sources. Typically this would be done with something like: package MyApp::Schema::Result::MessegeQueue; use parent 'MyCo::Schema::Result::MessageQueue'; __PACKAGE__->table(__PACKAGE__->table); 1; which clearly is in its own file. This should still be done when you need to add columns or really do anything other than just basic addition of the result source to your schema. Note: This component correctly generates an "anonymous" subclass of the given base class. Do not depend on the name of the subclass as it is currently considered unstable.
generate_source $schema->generate_source(User => 'MyCompany::BaseResult::User') The first argument to "generate_source" is the "moniker" to register the class as, the second argument is the base class for the new result source.

The right-rear failed structurally on the inboard sidewall, where the tread joins the sidewall, after just 14,000 miles. It popped so loud it scared the hell out of me and debris slammed the bottom of the car so hard it felt as if I ran over a chunk of lumber or something. Geez! Don't buy these unreliable things. Dangerous!
Great overall performance. Where it is lacking is in the durability area. I have now gone through 5 of these and when you hit a pot hole and it doesn't necessarily need to be large one, these tires will go. I have also had the Good Year Eagles as well and they are similar in terms of durability. Hopefully the tire developers can come up with a better side wall than steel to give some added flexibility so they don't pop so easily. I also admit I live in NJ.
Good tires.
This tire is very noisy and wore out after only 12K miles. This is a factory tire on 2011 BMW 328xi series.

The Crimson coeds took sixth at the New England Championships (photo courtesy Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On a weekend where New England saw a mixture of breezes, Harvard sailing teams competed in three regattas. The 17th-seeded Crimson coeds took sixth at the 65th Fowle Trophy and fifth at the 4th Mystic Team Race, while the women's squad finished 17th at the Emily Wick Trophy.
At the Fowle Trophy, which dueled as the 2014 New England Team Race Championship, Harvard faced a competitive field of 12 schools on the Thames River. The Crimson need a top-four finish to qualify for the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association National Team Race Championship, but it fell short as Harvard took sixth with a 7-9 ledger.
Harvard paired skippers Brian Drumm, Michael Drumm, Andrew Mollerus and Gram Slattery with crew Jacob Bradt, Sydney Karnovksy and Isabel Ruane.
The Crimson advanced out of the preliminary round after picking up wins against Bowdoin, No. 16 Connecticut College, No. 18 Coast Guard, No. 12 MIT, No. 11 Tufts and Vermont. In the second round, Harvard defeated No. 9 Dartmouth by taking the one, two and five in the head-to-head race, however it was the Crimson's lone victory in round two.
No. 8 Roger Williams and top-ranked Yale each posted 13-3 marks, but the Hawks downed the Bulldogs to win the title. Sixth-seeded Boston College and Tufts filled in the top four with 11-5 records.
The 4th Mystic Team face featured 10 teams battle in Tufts fleet of larks. Harvard finished the two-day, in-conference team race with a 10-8 mark, which was good for fifth. The hosts went a perfect 18-0 to win the event.
Harvard saw six different sailors take Mystic Lake for the team race. Reid Bergsund, Matthew Mollerus and Marek Zaleski skippered the Crimson coats as Bennett Capozzi, Olivia Kjorlien and Emma Wheeler raced as Harvard's crew.
At its second regatta of the spring, the Crimson women took 17th with 332 points at the Emily Wick Trophy. Caitlin Watson and Kristina Jakobson represented Harvard in the A division. The senior, sophomore boat's performance was highlighted by a win in the 10th race. Sophie Bermudez and Ashleigh Inglis sailed in the B division for Harvard.
Next weekend is the busiest of the spring for Harvard as the two teams split up for five events including the 74th Owen, Mosbacher and Knapp Trophies at Yale, which serves as the equivalent of the Ivy League Championships. The coeds will also race at the 27th Thompson Trophy (Coast Guard), the 70th Oberg Trophy (MIT/Northeastern) and the Savin Hill Invitational (Boston College). The women will take the water at Tufts' 35th Duplin Trophy.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose but closed below their session highs on renewed concerns about Donald Trump's presidency, after two new reports related to a federal investigation into possible coordination between Russia and Trump's election campaign.
A senior White House adviser is a significant person of interest in the law enforcement investigation of possible Russian ties, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Separately the New York Times reported that Trump told Russian officials at the White House that firing FBI Director James Comey relieved "great pressure" from the ongoing probe. The Times report cited a document summarizing the meeting.
"I'm sure some of (the move) is related to that, and the fact that Trump is going to be out of the country and nobody's quite sure what he's going to do," said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management in Chicago.
He added, however, that the market did not seem too concerned as the major indexes were still in positive territory.
"We've got two days now to wring our hands about what might happen," he said.
Trump left on Friday for his first foreign trip since taking office, which the White House hopes will shift the focus away from domestic controversies.
While Wall Street ended higher it failed to fully regain all the ground lost in Wednesday's big selloff after reports earlier this week that Trump tried to interfere in the federal investigation.
Investors have been closely following events in Washington as they worry whether Trump will be able to fulfill campaign promises for fiscal stimulus and tax reform. Many investors saw the policy promises as a key reason for the post-election rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was up 141.82 points, or 0.69 percent, to 20,804.84, the S&P 500 .SPX had gained 16.01 points, or 0.68 percent, to 2,381.73 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC had added 28.57 points, or 0.47 percent, to 6,083.70.
But all three indexes clocked losses for the week with the Dow and S&P falling 0.4 percent and Nasdaq off 0.6 percent
All of the 11 major S&P industry sectors ended the day higher. Industrials .SPLRCI showed the biggest percentage gain with a 1.36 percent jump while Energy .SPNY rose 1.24 percent. Oil company shares were boosted by a 2 percent increase in oil futures CLc1LCOc1 related to growing expectations that OPEC and other producing countries will agree at a meeting next week to extend crude output cuts.
Some market participants said that for much of the session, they turned their focus to strong quarterly earnings from companies such as Autodesk Inc (ADSK.O) and Deere & Co (DE.N).
Software developer Autodesk jumped 14.7 percent and was the biggest percentage gainer on the S&P after reporting better-than-expected quarterly revenue.
Deere hit an all-time high of $122.24 and closed up 7.3 percent at $120.90 after the farm and construction equipment maker posted a better-than-estimated quarterly profit.
Deere helped lift Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) 2.2 percent. General Electric Co (GE.N) was the S&P's top driver with a 2.4 percent rise.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 3.13-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.75-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
The S&P 500 posted 26 new 52-week highs and 8 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 81 new highs and 58 new lows.
About 7.03 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges in line with the average volume for the last 20 sessions.

Treats Are Good!
Twitter Updates
The Truck and The Shop
The Treats Truck opened in June 2007 and retired in December, 2016!
You can still email us with questions, stories, requests for tee shirts, recipe questions, notes for Kim, at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com!!!
Featured News
A letter to all our wonderful friends and customers
The Treats Truck will have its last day of regular spots on October 26th, 2016.
Our truck and shop will continue catering private events, and delivering boxes of treats and cakes through December 23rd, and then we are closing The Treats Truck.
I want to thank all of our customers for making these 9 1/2 years so special. The Treats Truck's first day on the streets of NYC was June 9th, 2007! It has been such a privilege and an absolute pleasure to serve you. As a small business owner in NYC, I have experienced daily such incredible support and good cheer from you all. I know my business was only made possible because of the incredible patronage and encouragement from local customers and well-wishers from afar. Thank you so much to you all.
I'm often asked what is the best part of running the Treats Truck, and my answer has always been clear and true- the customers and the people of NYC - the doormen, bus drivers, mail carriers, dog walkers, police, tourists, our regulars, the school kids, and fellow vendors. A simple day is filled with so many moments we share together, along with just the right treat, of course!
While our truck, Sugar, will retire, the Treats Truck story will continue through our website and future projects- so you can continue to write emails to me sharing your questions, stories, and photos of friends or family who used to come to the truck (kids all grown up!) or plates of freshly baked creations from your home kitchens.
I believe in treats. I love all the stages. Thinking up what you want to bake, gathering the ingredients, baking, waiting for it to cool, putting on the finishing touches, presenting the finished creation, eating the first bite, sharing with others, leaving a wrapped plate for a neighbor...
Our motto has always been "Treats are good". Being a part of NYC with my truck over the past ten years has been one of the biggest treats of my life.
Thank you and best wishes always,
Kim Ima

The Treats Truck Cookbook!
I love baking – for the truck, for the shop, for my friends and family. And I love when people bake for me! My mom still bakes for my birthday, and sometimes customers bring me treats they've made at home.
Whether on your own, with a friend or with kids by your side, there's nothing like a few hours in the kitchen baking – and then sharing - a freshly baked cake or plate of cookies.
Writing a cookbook was a dream come true and so much fun. There are photos of our truck, our customers, and lots of easy to follow recipes.
You can buy The Treats Truck Baking Book at our shop, at bookstores or on Amazon. Want to see? Go to our Harper Collins page for info!
And thank you to everyone who has bought the book! I've loved all the emails, notes and chats about it at the truck and shop.
Best- Kim

Natural Standard Bottom Line Monograph, Copyright © 2013 (www.naturalstandard.com). Commercial distribution prohibited. This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions.
While some complementary and alternative techniques have been studied scientifically, high-quality data regarding safety, effectiveness, and mechanism of action are limited or controversial for most therapies. Whenever possible, it is recommended that practitioners be licensed by a recognized professional organization that adheres to clearly published standards. In addition, before starting a new technique or engaging a practitioner, it is recommended that patients speak with their primary healthcare provider(s). Potential benefits, risks (including financial costs), and alternatives should be carefully considered. The below monograph is designed to provide historical background and an overview of clinically-oriented research, and neither advocates for or against the use of a particular therapy.

Relaxation techniques include behavioral therapeutic approaches that differ widely in philosophy, methodology, and practice. The primary goal is usually nondirected relaxation. Most techniques share the components of repetitive focus (on a word, sound, prayer phrase, body sensation, or muscular activity), using a passive attitude towards intruding thoughts, and return to the focus.
Deep and brief methods exist. Deep methods include autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and meditation (although meditation is sometimes distinguished from relaxation based on the state of "thoughtless awareness" that is said to occur during meditation). Brief methods include self-control relaxation, paced respiration, and deep breathing. Brief methods generally require less time and often represent an abbreviated form of a deep method. Other relaxation techniques include guided imagery, deep breathing, breathing control, passive muscle relaxation, and refocusing. Applied relaxation involves imagination of relaxing situations with the intention of inducing muscular and mental relaxation. Another popular technique is progressive relaxation, in which the individual is taught what it feels like to relax by comparing relaxation with muscle tension. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is said to require several months of practice at least three times per week in order to be able to evoke the relaxation response within seconds. Relaxation technique instruction is available in many hospitals, in the community, in books, or on audiotapes or videotapes.
The term "relaxation response" was coined by Harvard professor and cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD in the early 1970s to describe the physiologic reaction that is the opposite of the stress response. The relaxation response is proposed to involve decreased stimulation of the nervous system, as well as increased parasympathetic activity (urination, digestion, and other activities that occur when the body is at rest) characterized by lowered heartbeat, muscle, and skeletal function, and altered interactions between the nervous and endocrine systems.
Relaxation techniques may be taught by complementary practitioners, physicians, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, nurses, clinical psychologists, or sports therapists. There is no formal credentialing for relaxation therapies.
Clinical studies suggest that relaxation techniques may be beneficial in patients with anxiety, although these approaches do not appear to be as effective as psychotherapy. For conditions with a strong psychosomatic element, relaxation may be beneficial, although it is not clear if the effects are long-term. Relaxation techniques may be used for stress management using self-regulation (self-control). There is not enough evidence to form firm conclusions about the effectiveness of relaxation for any condition. However, relaxation has been studied with respect to depression, pain, behavior, blood pressure lowering, etc. It has also been studied in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Relaxation techniques are sometimes used by people with insomnia or other sleep disorders.
In situations of stress, there is increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which leads to the "fight or flight" response. Physiologic changes include increased heart rate, blood pressure, rate of breathing, blood supply to the muscles, and dilation of the pupils. It has been proposed that frequent stressful situations may lead to negative effects on health, such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol levels, gastrointestinal distress, or depression of the immune system.
In contrast to the stress response, relaxation is characterized by decreased stimulation of the nervous system, as well as increased parasympathetic activity (urination, digestion, and other activities that occur when the body is at rest). This may include decreased metabolism, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and heart rate, as well as a feeling of calmness. Increased brain wave slow-wave activity (measured on EEG) has been reported. Alterations in the immune system may also play a role.
It has been theorized that by learning how to self-initiate the relaxation response, the negative effects of chronic stress may be counterbalanced. There are some reports that, with practice, states of relaxation can be achieved after several seconds. Massage, deep meditative states, mind-body interactive techniques, and certain types of music and sounds have been suggested as means of establishing a state of relaxation. Rhythmic, deep, visualized, or diaphragmatic breathing may be practiced. Mental imagery, biofeedback, desensitization, cognitive restructuring, and adaptive self-statements may also be included in such techniques.
Jacobson muscle relaxation, or "progressive relaxation," involves flexing specific muscles, holding that position, then relaxing the muscles. This technique often involves progressing through the muscle groups of the body one at a time, beginning with the feet, spending approximately one minute on each area. Progressive relaxation may be practiced while lying down or sitting. This approach has been suggested for psychosomatic disorders, for pain relief, to ease physical tension, or to relieve "inner unrest."
The Laura Mitchell approach involves reciprocal relaxation, moving one part of the body in the opposite direction from an area of tension, and then letting it go.
No formal credentialing or licensure exists for these relaxation techniques. Courses are offered at institutions such as the National Institute for Clinical Applications of Behavioral Medicine (NICBM), the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA), and the Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM).
According to Dr. Herbert Benson, who coined the term "the relaxation response," relaxation has been shown to decrease oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output, to decrease the rate of breathing, to slightly increase oxygen levels in the blood, to decrease blood lactate levels (an indicator of stress), and to increase oxygen consumption during sleep.
Scientific Evidence
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
One study failed to demonstrate any effects of relaxation therapy on aggression. More well-designed trials are needed.
Angina (chest pain)
Early research in patients with angina has reported that relaxation may reduce anxiety, depression, the frequency of angina episodes, the need for medication, and physical limitations. Large, well-designed studies are needed to confirm these results.
Numerous human studies have reported that relaxation techniques (for example, using audiotapes or group therapy) may moderately reduce anxiety, particularly in individuals without significant mental illness. Relaxation may be beneficial for phobias (such as agoraphobia), panic disorders, work-related stress, and anxiety (due to serious illnesses, prior to medical procedures, or during pregnancy). However, because there are many types of relaxation techniques used in studies, and because many trials do not clearly describe design or results, a strong recommendation cannot be made without better human evidence.
Preliminary studies of relaxation techniques in individuals with asthma have reported a significant decrease in asthma symptoms, anxiety, and depression, along with improvements in quality of life and measures of lung function. Further large trials in humans are needed to confirm these results.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
One study failed to demonstrate any effect of relaxation therapy on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. More well-designed trials are needed.
Cardiovascular conditions
Early research of relaxation techniques in people who have had a heart attack suggests that fewer future heart attacks may occur when relaxation is regularly practiced. Relaxation techniques have been associated with reduced pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure; lower perception of stress; and enhanced perception of health. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
One study failed to show that relaxation techniques may be helpful in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. More research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Early human trials report that relaxation techniques may be helpful in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Better-quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
There is conflicting evidence from human trials supporting the use of relaxation to reduce symptoms of depression. Better-quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Early human trials report that relaxation techniques may be helpful in treating dyspepsia. Better-quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Early human trials report that relaxation techniques may be helpful in treating epilepsy. Better-quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Relaxation therapy has been investigated as a treatment for radiation-induced fatigue and for aviation-induced fatigue. More well-designed trials are needed.
Relaxation has been reported to reduce fibromyalgia pain. However, results from studies are conflicting, and therefore further research is needed before a clear recommendation can be made.
Preliminary evidence suggests that relaxation techniques may be helpful for the reduction of migraine headache symptoms in adults. Many adults reportedly supplement traditional treatments with relaxation therapy. Research on relaxation in children with headaches has yielded unclear results. Relaxation therapy has been suggested as being helpful in special populations (children, the elderly, pregnant or nursing women) where more traditional migraine prevention medications may not be appropriate. Additional research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Mental health and quality-of-life improvements have been seen in preliminary studies of HIV/AIDS patients. These findings suggest the need for further, well-controlled research.
Huntington's chorea/disease
Preliminary research in patients with Huntington's disease has evaluated the effects of either multisensory stimulation, using relaxation activities as a control. Results were unclear. Further research is necessary before a conclusion can be drawn.
Several human trials suggest that relaxation techniques may be beneficial in people with insomnia, although the effects appear to be short-lived. Research suggests that relaxation techniques may produce improvements in some aspects of sleep, such as sleep latency and time awake after sleep onset. Cognitive forms of relaxation, such as meditation, are reported as being slightly better than somatic forms of relaxation, such as progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). Well-conducted research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Irritable bowel disease
Early research in humans suggests that relaxation may aid in the prevention and relief of irritable bowel disease symptoms. Large, well-designed trials are needed to confirm these results.
Menopausal symptoms
There is promising early evidence from human trials supporting the use of relaxation techniques to reduce menopausal symptoms,although the effects appear to be short-lived. Better-quality research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Limited numbers of well-designed trials have examined the effects of relaxation on myocardial infarction outcomes, and the results are mixed. More research is needed.
A small number of studies on psychotherapy-related approaches, e.g., relaxation therapy, have failed to demonstrate any decisive positive outcomes. Additional research is needed.
In an early study, Jacobson relaxation was reported to lower the level of subjective pain and reduce the need for pain medication in osteoarthritic patients. Further well-designed research is needed to confirm these results.
Early research suggests that massage is more effective than relaxation therapy for pain, including postoperative pain and low back pain. Also, the quality of most studies in this field is poor. Better research is necessary before relaxation techniques can be recommended either alone, or as an addition to other treatments, for acute or chronic pain.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Limited studies have examined the effects of relaxation for post-traumatic stress disorder. More research is needed.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
There is early evidence that progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) training may improve physical and emotional symptoms associated with PMS. Further research is necessary before a conclusion can be drawn.
Prevention of pregnancy complications
Studies suggest that relaxation therapy may have positive effects on preventing premature labor and hypertension. More well-designed trials are needed.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Limited preliminary research reports that muscle relaxation training may improve function and well-being in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Additional research is necessary before a conclusion can be reached.
Skin conditions
Limited research has been conducted examining the effects of relaxation therapy alone in improving skin conditions. Well-designed trials are needed.
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
Early research suggests that use of an occlusal appliance is more effective than relaxation therapy for relief from temporomandibular disorders. More well-designed trials are needed.
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Relaxation therapy has been associated with benefits in preliminary studies of tinnitus patients. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Tourette's syndrome
Limited evidence suggests a lack of benefit for relaxation therapy in Tourette's syndrome. More well-designed trials are needed.
Upper respiratory tract infection (children)
There is a lack of evidence reporting the effects of relaxation therapy on upper respiratory tract infections in children. Well-designed trials are needed.
Studies assessing relaxation to improve psychological well-being and "calm" in patients have reported positive results, although the results of most trials have not been statistically significant. Although this research is suggestive, additional work is merited in this area before a firm conclusion can be drawn.

The below uses are based on tradition or scientific theories. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious and should be evaluated by a qualified health care professional.
Abdominal pain, addiction, adjustment disorder, aging, alcohol abuse, Alzheimer's disease, amnesia, anti-spasm (pelvic floor spasms), arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), balance, cancer pain, cognitive disorders (neurogenic), communicative disorders (neurogenic), coronary artery disease, drug abuse, dysmenorrhea, emotional distress, exercise performance, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastrointestinal disorders, hemiplegia, herpes virus, high cholesterol, immune system stimulation, increasing breast milk, infertility, ischemic heart disease, longevity, migraine, multiple sclerosis, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ostomy care, panic disorder, Parkinson's disease, peptic ulcer disease, pregnancy, preparation for surgery, psoriasis, psychiatric disorders, psychosomatic conditions, quality of life, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, repetitive strain injuries, rosacea, warts, wound healing.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Most relaxation techniques are noninvasive and are generally considered safe in healthy adults. Serious adverse effects have not been reported. It is theorized that anxiety may actually be increased in some individuals using relaxation techniques and that autogenic discharges (sudden, unexpected emotional experiences, including pain, heart palpitations, muscle twitching, crying spells, or increased blood pressure) may occur rarely. Scientific evidence is limited in these areas. People with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia or psychosis should use relaxation techniques only when recommended by their primary psychiatric healthcare provider. It is sometimes suggested by practitioners that techniques requiring inward focusing may intensify depressed mood, although scientific evidence is limited in this area.
Jacobson relaxation (flexing specific muscles, holding that position, then relaxing the muscles) should be used cautiously by people with illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or musculoskeletal injury.
Relaxation therapy is not recommended as the sole treatment approach for potentially serious medical conditions, and it should not delay the time to diagnosis or treatment with more proven techniques.

Another week, another batch of great shows on tap. We've got all of the shows listed in our concert calendar if you've prefer to take a more hands-on approach to planning your itinerary. If you're looking for a more curated experience, however, as always, we've put together a list of the shows that are worth staying up late on a school night for. Keep reading for the full rundown on the ten best concerts in Colorado this week.

10. MILO GREENE @ BLUEBIRD THEATER | FRI, 11/9/12 The many-headed Milo Greene has found its national footing this year on the strength of its exceptional self-titled debut full-length. The Los Angeles quintet employs masterful harmony and thoughtful composition to the end of one of the year's best folk efforts. Everyone but drummer Curtis Marrero sings and switches instruments, so what might have been a fairly staid live show should instead be dynamic.
9. NO FUNERAL @ RHINO | THURS, 11/8/12 Warren Bedell is one of the co-founders of Rhinoceropolis. But before helping establish that long-running DIY space, Bedell had been in the experimental post-punk/noise rock band Zombie Zombie. And while living at Rhino, he had his hand in numerous projects, including Spellcaster, which showcased his towering guitar experiments; the post-punk quartet MVP; and the train-wreck performance art that was Spellcaster's Rock and Roll Time Travel Committee. With his most recent project, No Funeral (due at Rhinoceropolis this Thursday, November 8), Bedell performs in a dense fog worthy of SunnO))), illuminated by bright, strobing, shifting colors. Seeing the act live is a lot like seeing some quasi-mysterious electro band that's been taken not only to the next level, but to the one after that, as well. Fortunately, Bedell's deft mutation of electronic pop music, and the way he weaves it in with his impeccable sensibilities for noise and production, offers more than what could have been just an inspired gimmick. (Mystic Bummer and Roomrunner are also on this bill.)
8. HELMET @ AGGIE THEATRE | MON, 11/5/12 Before forming Helmet in 1989, Page Hamilton had been active in the New York underground scene in the '80s. Partly because of his jazz background and partly because he wasn't afraid to explore the possibilities of the creative use of distortion with guitar, Hamilton worked with Glenn Branca before joining the underrated, experimental rock group Band of Susans. It wasn't until Helmet's second album, 1992's Meantime, that Hamilton found himself in a band that enjoyed anything resembling mainstream success. Helmet's combination of noise rock and eruptive energy made it a kind of crossover success in an era when few bands with a foot in what was clearly heavy metal were taken seriously. The new lineup of Helmet is less claustrophobic and dense, but the band's overdriven melodies remain as vicious as ever. (Ume and Blast Pattern are also on this bill.)

7. SKELETON WITCH @ MARQUIS THEATER | FRI, 11/9/12 Even though Metallica dragged thrashy speed metal into the mainstream with its "Black" album, most of the better, more imaginative practitioners of the style remained relatively obscure. While acts such as Testament, Voivod and Metal Church never became household names, their mixture of aggression, precision and obsession with the dark side of human nature cast an unmistakable pall on black metal and the bastard child of punk rock and thrash known as "crust." There is a bit of all that to be found in Skeleton Witch's music. The Athens, Ohio, act plays it straight up: no ballads, no inept, blues-based rock -- just frenzied intensity coupled with odd, unexpected melodies swimming amid sharp changes in time signatures. If you're into scarcely discernible vocals growled/shouted over the top of guitar lines that sound like swarms of insects, with manic, tightly controlled rhythms to match, then Skeleton Witch should be just your speed. (Denver's own Havok, Early Graves and Mutilation Rites are also on this bill.)
6. FUTURE OF THE LEFT @ MARQUIS THEATER | THUR, 11/8/12 Andy Falkous and Jeff Egglestone were half of the caustic noise-rock juggernaut mclusky. When that band split, the pair formed the decidedly more political Future of the Left, whose songs are filled with the kind of incisive, biting invective you'd expect to hear from bands like Gang of Four or Crass. On 2009's Travels With Myself and Another, for example, there's a song called "You Need Satan More Than He Needs You," and on the more recent The Plot Against Common Sense is one titled "Robocop 4 - Fuck Off Robocop." Both are scathing criticisms of testosterone-fueled bravado and hypocritical piousness. Informed by poetic insight into society and the individual psyche, The Future of the Left's wicked sense of humor is a bracing and necessary antidote to today's political environment, in which spurious platitudes are often peddled as truth. (Andrew Jackson Jihad is also on this bill.)
5. SERA CAHOONE @ HI-DIVE | MON, 11/5/12 Sub Pop recording artist Sera Cahoone grew up in Colorado -- Littleton, to be exact. By the time she was in middle school, she was playing drums for gigging bands, and in the early '90s, she formed the experimental-rock band Idle Mind with her friend Roger Green. Although one of the more promising local acts of the time, the pair split and Cahoone got a job in Seattle. She quickly became a fixture in that city's scene, playing drums in the studio for the first Band of Horses album and actively contributing to critically acclaimed indie-pop group Carissa's Wierd. Since 2006, Cahoone has put out a few solo albums on Sub Pop, including her latest, the tender and pastoral Deer Creek Canyon, named after her old stamping grounds. Reflecting Cahoone's lifelong love of old-time country music, the record also reflects Cahoone's love of her home state.
4. EMANCIPATOR @ FOX THEATRE | THUR, 11/8/12 Ten years ago, Douglas Appling -- better known in most musical circles as producer and live PA impresario Emancipator -- picked up some production software and started playing around. He's come a long way since then, touring and sharing stages with some of his biggest influences (Bonobo among them), and he's proven through his sweeping, Eastern-tinged trip-hop tunes that downtempo's heyday didn't end when Massive Attack went mainstream. Emancipator's first album, Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, gained some attention in Japan, and his song "Maps" was played at the Beijing Olympics; his second effort, Safe in the Steep Cliffs, proved that this producer can harness the haunting poignancy of instruments with deliberately placed effects, generating a gorgeous soundscape in which you can easily lose yourself. He'll treat Colorado to three shows this weekend: This one at the Fox Theatre in Boulder on Thursday, followed by a show on Friday, November 9, at the Ogden Theatre, and Saturday, November 10, at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins.
3. DIE ANTWOORD @ OGDEN THEATRE | WED, 11/7/12 An unlikely cult band, Cape Town, South Africa's Die Antwoord makes the kind of music that brings EDM and hip-hop together with an aesthetic attributed to the zef subculture; frontman Ninja has discussed the role of zef in South African society as being akin to that of the pillars of hip-hop. With lyrics woven together from three languages spoken in South Africa, Die Antwoord would be interesting on a cultural level alone. But the ability to convey an image that is impossible to narrow down to a serious statement or a thumbing of the nose at expectations is something that has made this band more than just a novelty in its home country. Don't go looking for the joke with a microscope, because Die Antwoord's shows are an exercise in inspired performance art. (Azari & lll, Seth Troxler, Paul Kalkbrenner, Tiga, Gesaffelstein, and NicFanciulli are also on this bill.)
2. CURSIVE @ SUMMIT MUSIC HALL | MON, 11/5/12 Cursive was one of the most popular and influential bands to have come out of the underground scene in Omaha, Nebraska, the same one that spawned Bright Eyes, the Faint, Azure Ray and Tokyo Police Club and Saddle Creek Records. Beginning in 1995, Cursive's brash, angular music coupled with sharp lyrics struck a chord with audiences who had maybe outgrown basic punk rock but not the defiant spirit found there as well as within Cursive's oeuvre. With the addition of singer and guitarist Ted Stevens, formerly of Lullaby For the Working Class, Cursive began to write an arc of concept albums that continue to this day, including its latest record, I Am Gemini, in which the group uses the mythology and imagery of the legendary twins Castor and Pollux as the core around which the narrative unfolds. (Minus the Bear and Girl in a Coma are also on the bill.)
1. THE FAINT @ OGDEN THEATRE | THUR, 11/8/12 When the Faint released Danse Macabre in 2001, it seemed like a nostalgic look back at the intersection of '80s new wave and post-punk. Now, after the waves of dance punk, electroclash and synth pop that followed in its wake over the past decade, the record seems positively prophetic. It doesn't hurt that the tunes themselves have held up remarkably well -- most of them, anyway. Perhaps that's why the band is reissuing the album in a deluxe edition and heading out to play it in its entirety for the first time ever. If you're not burnt out on the whole retro synths and drum machine beats topped with squalling post-punk guitar noise thing -- and you shouldn't be, as it's stuck around long enough to prove itself as a classic formula at this point -- this is a chance to catch one of the second-wave pioneers of the movement re-creating its finest moments live and on stage.

Mjölby Municipality
Evolume 1 provides the right light in the right place
Mjölby Municipality is focusing on making its 26,600 residents feel safe and secure. Providing the best possible lighting in residential areas, streets and roads is an important part of helping the general public feel safe.
Evening safety patrols have been arranged in Mjölby – giving a chance for everyone to see how the day-to-day environment is working and discuss improvements together. The municipality has also been working actively with Mjölby-Svartådalen Energi AB (MSE) to replace all mercury lighting and make its systems more energy efficient
One luminaire for a number of different projects
"We didn't want our stock to include too many different brands and models of post top luminaires. So when selecting a new luminaire, the aim was for it to be cost effective, have an appealing look and be developed by an established company with short delivery times," says Hans Hollén, project manager electricity/lighting at MSE.
In summer 2015, Mjölby municipality decided to replace 250 luminaires with Evolume 1, which combines high light quality, long life and visual comfort with a modern design. In order to save energy without compromising the sense of security, the municipality opted for the Night-time dimming 1 function, meaning that the system's light levels are adjusted down from 100% to 50% over six hours.
The post top luminaires are adapted for the town's streets, car parks, pedestrian and cycle paths and merge well into the different environments. The municipality has also smartly reinvested the profit from replacing the luminaires in new systems, for example, on previously unlit pedestrian and cycle paths.
Mercury luminaires have been replaced with LEDs on the existing posts, which means that Evolume 1 needed to cope with a slightly greater distance between posts than normal, and without glare. By using specially developed, extra-large Advanced Glare Control lenses, we were able to minimise glare. The vertical surfaces also have a well-judged brightness that creates spatial judgement and provides an increased sense of security.
"Evolume 1 uses a lens system with minimal glare"
Optimised lens system
Hans Hollén continues by saying that the project faced several lighting challenges right from the start, but they have been happily surprised by the result. One such example was the light setting in a large car park in the residential area. Instead of using floodlights, Evolume 1 was installed with six L4 lenses that emit an even light over the surface. Another location was a wide street of detached houses, where Evolume 1 with L4 lenses provided an asymmetrical, wide-beam light distribution over the whole street. The bracket with tilt-function also made installation much easier.
One result of having the lenses sat close together to create a luminous cluster is that the luminaire is visible at a distance, making it a good guide – particularly useful on the winding forest path to Skogssjö recreation area.
"Of course, the luminaire's most important job is to light the path, but a light indicating the route of the path ahead is a welcome benefit, and we have found that quality in Evolume 1"

Israeli attacks on suspected Hamas strongholds in Gaza have triggered protests in more than a dozen countries.
The attacks entered their third day Monday, with more than 300 people in Gaza reported killed and hundreds more wounded. Israel says the military assault is in response to ongoing rocket strikes on Israel, which have killed two Israelis.
In London, England, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy, waving flags and trying to push their way closer to the building, as police tried to hold them back and erect a barricade. Read full article »

This is now.
It has been so long since I was last here, that I feel like I should explain myself. But I wont, because that would be boring. As are disclaimers and excuses. Where I've been in the last few years will eventually spill out through story.
This is now. Let's jump in and forget my blog needs a makeover.
Since having our third baby, Benjamin, almost four months ago, I've been working on regaining my fitness. Though I've spent a great amount of time over the last five years in a Crossfit gym, I've felt pulled to be outdoors on the trail running more often, recently. There's a different mentality that I encounter while I'm on the trail, than when I'm in the gym. I lose myself in the rhythmic motion of my feet hitting the ground and the intermittent urges that I have to speed up or slow down. When I'm in the gym, there's a sense of pressure when the clock starts. Everything we do is time dependent. The workout is 12 minutes long, or the workout is an AMRAP--as many rounds as possible in a given time period, or the workout ends when you finish the rounds of exercises. Then of course, there is the pressure that comes with doing such workouts in a group environment. Who will finish first? What movements can I do well? Which do I struggle with? If there are double-unders, count on my taking double the time or at least peeing myself. Will I finish last? Will I scale down the weights? Will I ever not need to scale the weight? Will I throw my freaking back out today? Lately, I'm just not into it. It may have something to do with feeling like I'm no longer invincible, like I often imagined I was before baby, but mostly, it has something to do with a deep urge to slow down, to experience the newness of our sweet babe, to watch him smile as often as I can, and to nix any pressure that is unnecessary.
The timing for having Benjamin couldn't have been any better. I had him late March, and thanks to Nathan, I was able to take maternity leave through the end of the school year. I've been relishing in the free days and have been intentional with my mothering and self-care. The worker-bee in me, regularly fights the urge to unit plan for next year's teaching assignment. I became part of an AP Language and Composition group on Facebook and now it's inundating my news feed. Last night, I told Nate that the page is a gold mine. And a time suck. I keep telling myself to schedule my work and quit allowing it to leak into my every day.
I've been doing a good amount of reading, lately. I finished Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert last week, and now I'm reading On Writing by Stephen King. I'm mainly reading On Writing because I keep seeing it as a recommended read for Lang. I'm still feeling that book out. I'm not sure about it, but it could have something to do with me having little to no interest in horror and sci-fi, and feeling out of the loop with all of King's references to his work. Even still, he's a master writer and I feel dedicated to finishing. I may come around. I hope.
With the last two books based on the writing life, I have been thinking about my work as a writer, and its non-existence. Though my practice of this craft is nil, I'm still carrying with me stories that I must tell.
While on the trail today, my mind concocted a series of writing points for a possible essay. I guess I should carry a notebook on the trail, because I tell you what--I regularly have writing inspiration hit mid run. Of course I wrote nothing down when I got home, so I can't remember what I was feeling particularly passionate about while I was sweating bullets in the heat, but I do know that inspiration hasn't fully given up on me yet. This is the good news. During my run, I was also thinking over my lack of writing and my commitment to the craft. Suddenly, I was reminded of an old saying that I love--what's for you, wont pass you by. They are words that have comforted me many times over the last handful of years through my relationships, work, and opportunities. Today, they were the same, as I thought over my desire to write regularly and lend some serious time to a meaningful work. Again, thinking these things while sweating bullets, on a dirt trail, in the heat. When I returned home, I clicked open my Pinterest app to look for some dinner inspiration, and low and behold, those very words that struck me on the trail, were staring at me from the home page. God has a funny way of making himself heard. So here I sit, trying to do some work, to put some time in, and to begin a regular practice. Here's hoping that inspiration will continue to return, and like Elizabeth Gilbert says, "big magic will happen." All while knowing, I can kill the negative pressure, because what's for me, wont pass me by.
There is much to write about, and it's my hope that I'll dig my heels and get to the real work--of writing to understand, to share stories, to extend the part of me that continuously begs to be shared.
