Did you know, that as of right now, the NHL season is still technically scheduled to start on time next Thursday? Yep, everyone is going about their business as if there's going to be meaningful hockey next week, as if all the best players will rushing back from Russia, as if the teams will re-hire all the staff they laid off. It's a joke, of course, and not the ha-ha kind. The league is expected to begin canceling games any day now, but only two weeks' worth at a time, which might be the most optimistic thing we've heard in a while.
When the sides sat down on Friday, they were clear that they wouldn't be discussing the "core economic concerns." That's obviously not a promising start. Never was there a successful negotiation that worked out the minor issues first, rather than treat them as concessions to be made once the fundamental questions are decided. But Elliotte Friedman of the CBC reports that's exactly how the NHL and the Players' Association approached this weekend's talks: they planned to sweat the small stuff.
If you have any doubt what a stalemate the NHL lockout has become, consider this: talks took a step backward last weekend because the league and the NHL Players' Association could not agree on who should pay for a) an extra trainer on the road and b) for each player to have his own hotel room.
Players felt teams should pay for both, especially since an extra trainer is a safety issue. Apparently, some teams only travel with one. As for single rooms, well, they've been fighting for that since Matt Stajan made Joe Nieuwendyk watch The Fifth Wheel. Right now, you can be solitary if you've played 600 NHL games.
The league, of course, feels otherwise, that these are added costs and should come out of hockey related revenue. There's no consensus and everybody leaves grumbling.
The league and the union are so far apart on the actual issues that caused the lockout—HRR, revenue sharing, salary caps and rollbacks—that they decided not to even bring it up at the bargaining table. Instead they focused on who'll pay for trainers and hotel rooms, and they couldn't even come close to agreeing on that. We are going to be here a while.
At least there'll be hockey to watch in the meantime. ESPN and the KHL have reached an agreement where the network will air a number of Russian games on its online streaming service ESPN3. First up, Dynamo Moscow, with Alex Ovechkin, against Ak Bars Kazan tomorrow night. It'll be the first pro hockey ESPN has aired since the 2003-2004 NHL season.
Meanwhile NBC Sports Network, whose giant NHL deal was supposed to begin this year (though NBC will still pay the league, even if there's a lockout), is having its worst ratings since it was the Outdoor Life Network in 2003.

Tennessee Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Tennessee Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Just before Christmas we had the opportunity to visit Medieval Times Dallas where we enjoyed dinner and a medieval tournament complete with knights, dancing horses, a Falconer, and of course royalty. This was our third visit and we enjoyed it just as much as ever. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. You're family will love it....and the food is great, too!
Upon arrival each guest is welcomed to the castle, assigned a knight and given a crown that represents his color. The door open 75 minutes before the show and you'll want to arrive early. There are lots to see and do before the show even begins.
Our knight was the Red Knight.
At our seats we found a pennant and towel to help us cheer on our knight, who did a great job!
The show opened with great pomp as the king arrived and our food began to be served. Now, there is one thing to know, in order to keep the experience as authentic as possible..... there's NO silverware. No one in the 11th century used silverware so you get to eat with your fingers. I will say, they don't make it too difficult. The delicious tomato bisque soup is served in a bowl with a handle so it's easy to drink, the chicken pulls off the bone very easily and the potato wedges and corn on the cob are nature finger foods.
Although, the first time we visited, my daughter was not looking forward to the idea of eating with her fingers and slipped utensils from home into her purse. Our server got a good laugh out of it.
At the end of each contest the knights are given carnations to throw into the audience. The girls go crazy over this.
The games were really fun to watch and take a great amount of skill. These knights train for months in order to be able to compete.
Of course, no medieval tournament would be complete without a joust. Our knight did pretty well.
In typical 11th century fashion, there was a "bad guy" who tried to force the princess to marry him but fortunately, her brave knights came to the rescue and the realm was saved! I love it when the good guys win!

The Itisy table looks like one of these Very Hungry Caterpillar toys, and it can be configured however you like. Forget putting stuff on it; I just want to play with it.
Thanks to metal ball joints installed underneath the oak top of each part, sections can be realigned to fit the circular tops together in a cluster or stretch them out into a line like an accordion. From some angles it looks like four separate tables, but it's really just like having several different high-tops in one. Let's call it furniture as a toy.

Colorado Symphony Orchestra's 2012-13 season will feature Lang Lang, Andre Watts, Pinchas Zukerman
The Colorado Symphony Orchestra announced the core of its 2012-13 season today, and promised there will be more to come.
Today's list included the lineup of its returning Masterworks and Inside the Score series at Boettcher Concert Hall, as well as pops and holidays offerings. Yet to be announced: the promised addition of chamber concerts, ensemble performances and community events outlined in its recently revised business plan.
The new season has fewer Masterworks programs, which feature major classical works, but more Masterworks concerts overall. That will be accomplished by presenting each programs three times. In recent years, the CSO has performed most of them twice.

Yasemin Congar studied at Georgetown University. She then worked for different media, including the daily Cumhuriyet in Ankara and as Washington correspondent for Milliyet, another daily. She is currently the deputy editor-in chief of the daily Taraf.
Taraf does not belong to one of the big media groups, but to the owners of the Alkim bookstore chain.
"I don't remember – certainly not in my lifetime – that there has been a paper that is really truly independent from business interests, from political interests, from the government, from the military and that is also courageous enough to criticize all those centres of power equally."
With its office in Kadikoy, Taraf is the only national newspaper with its headquarters on Istanbul's Asian shore.
Taraf published its first edition on 15 November 2007. It has since become a leading forum for Turkish liberals, including many respected columnists such as Murat Belge, Agos's Editor-in-Chief Etyen Mahcupyan, Amberin Zaman and others. All columnists are known for their harsh stance against military intervention in politics. Taraf has also made a name for itstelf by publishing several explosive documents suggesting, among other things, direct involvement of the Turkish Armed Forces in activities against the current AKP government. For Congar, the AKP does not pose a danger to democracy.
"As a woman who doesn't practice Islam and who has been educated in the West, let me say; I'm not afraid at all."
Taraf office
Taraf played a crucial role in the tumultuous public debates of 2008, publishing secret documents and setting the agenda in a way few papers had ever done. In the month of June alone Taraf published three stories that shook the country. The first uncovered a September 2007 document prepared by the General Staff, which set forth a strategy to denigrate critical journalists and authors and warned of the dangers of the AKP government. The second reported on a secret meeting between Osman Paksut, Deputy President of the Constitutional Court, and General Ilker Basbug – a meeting held only a few days before the Court received a lawsuit seeking to ban the AK Party. The last of the June stories revealed that the Armed Forces had prior (9 days) knowledge of preparations for an October 2007 PKK attack on soldiers in Daglica in the Hakkari province. 13 soldiers were killed and 8 were kidnapped in the attack.
Such open criticism of the armed forces and of leading generals is new in Turkey. In early July 2008 an investigation into the Ergenekon terror group led to the arrests of former 4-star generals. This was also a first.
"And now we are trying to cleanse that out of the system and while we are doing it we are realizing that it's not possible to do it if you don't go after the military. I think it will set an example to many people in Turkey that being part of such an organisation is a crime and is punishable by law and no one is untouchable."
Taraf started with around 15,000 copies sold daily and has reached a circulation of approximately 33,000 copies per day in September 2008. During the heydays of the Ergenekon investigation circulation jumped to 80,000 copies.

Asphalt Anchors
Asphalt Anchor Kit includes:
- 4 - 6″ long Asphalt Anchors
- 4 - ⅜″ x 1″ long -full thread- bolts
- 4 - Washers
- 2 - Bags of anchor grout (14oz)
Our anchors have been specially designed to overcome the asphalt's weakness in 2 ways:
- Anchors are unusually long,
- They bond with a hard grout that fills the crevices in the asphalt and the gravel below it, to distribute the forces over a large area.
Key Benefits:
- Large washer prevents anchor from dropping below the surface, protects the thread from grout overflow, prevents static pull as the bolt is tightened, covers up any irregularities in the asphalt hole.
- Spiral bonds with grout.
- Sealed bottom prevents grout from reaching the internal thread. The embedded grout then seals the anchor interior from water seepage.

Required Supplies and Tools for Installation
- Water
- Measuring cup for water
- ⅞″ masonry drill bit
- Hammer-drill
- Hammer
- Wrench or socket for bolts
- Vacuum cleaner or blower
Installation Steps: Prepping and Pouring the Grout
- Place the base where it needs to be and mark all four of the mounting holes.
- Remove the base and drill a ⅞″ diameter x 6″ deep hole for each of the 4 anchors.
- Clean the hole and the immediate area around it with compressed air or a blower.
- Prior to the activation of the grout, make sure that you have the anchors on hand. Do not separate the bolts from the anchors. Note that the EPX2 is fast curing; you have less than 10 minutes handling time.
- With the zipper on top, carefully open the bag in the middle of the zipper. Do not press on the bag as it will send a cloud of dust which should be avoided.
- Slowly add 4 oz. of water. There is large variability in the required amount, depending on the water content of the grout as provided in the bag. The end consistency of the mixture should be syrup-like. Note that the transition from dry powder to liquid is quite abrupt.
- If too much water is added, the consistency will be too liquid, and the grout will require much longer to cure and may not reach full strength. If an inadequate amount is applied, there will be lumps in the mixture and it will clog the top of the hole in the ground and the grout will not flow to the full length of the hole. The pull resistance will be severely reduced.
- Roll the top section of the bag that has no mixture to remove trapped air from the bag, then carefully zip the bag closed.
- Knead the mixture for 2 minutes until all the powder is dissolved and no lumps are present. As you knead, rotate the bag 90 degrees at a time, knead and rotate again.
- If more water is required, add one tablespoon at a time.
- Slowly pour the mixture into the hole from a corner of the bag.
- Make sure that the grout reaches the very top of the hole, even a little above it. Failure to fill to the top will greatly weaken the bond between the anchor and the asphalt.
Insertion of the Anchors
- Push the anchor into the hole. When the anchor head is about 2″ from the asphalt, inspect the level of the grout in the hole. If the level is below the surface, top up the grout without pulling out the anchor out.
- Push the anchor in until its head is flush with the surface.
- Immediately wash the area around the anchor to remove unsightly grout before it cures. You may also scrape the excess using a trowel or a piece of cardboard.
- The time for full cure of the installation varies with the mixture, temperature and humidity. Allow 1-2 hours before exerting a pull load (250 lbs. or more) on the anchors.
Attaching the Base to the Anchors
- Remove the bolt and washer from the anchor.
- Place the base to attach making sure that it is flat and in contact with the head of the anchor.
- Insert the washer and the bolts and tighten. Do not exceed the 200 lb-in torque allowed. Do not use an impact wrench.

EVERETT — At Mars Hill Church, the congregation is noticeably young. During services last weekend, singles in their 20s and young parents filled the sanctuary. Some lifted hands in the air while singing hymns accompanied by a booming rock band.
Yet the church building is old. It's a downtown landmark. On Sunday, Mars Hill Everett will celebrate the grand opening of its new home, the old Everett Armory building on Oakes Avenue. Services are held at 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. every Sunday.
"We're praying that God will bring a ton of people here," Pastor Ryan Williams told his flock at a service last Sunday. "Consider inviting someone who has never been to church before," said Williams, lead pastor at Mars Hill Everett.
Founded in Seattle almost 18 years ago by Mark Driscoll, fast-growing Mars Hill now has 15 churches in Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico and Arizona. According to church literature, Mars Hill plans to "plant" more churches in western states in the coming months.
From 2011 until two months ago, Mars Hill Everett met for Sunday worship at Everett Community College's new Fitness Center. In November, Sunday services began in the Everett Armory, which Mars Hill bought in late 2012. With donations and volunteer help from hundreds of church members, renovations are ongoing in the armory, which was built in 1921.
Williams said Wednesday that the purchase price for the armory was $1.28 million. It had been listed as surplus property with the state's Military Department.
"Members have stepped up like crazy," Williams said, adding that about 90 percent of Mars Hill Everett members have made significant donations to create the new church. He said the church needs to raise about $750,000 for renovations, which are being completed in three phases.
The first phase is nearly finished. It included building a sanctuary in the large space once used for National Guard drills, a new meeting and coffee area, and children's classrooms on the main floor. Work continues on upstairs offices. A final phase of longer-term projects will include seismic upgrades and work in the basement.
Visitors to Mars Hill Everett will see in an entry hall a nod to the building's history. "Headquarters 2nd Battalion 161st Infantry Washington National Guard" says a blue sign hanging on a white brick wall.
Designed by Seattle architect Louis Svartz, the armory was once home to an Army National Guard tank battalion. The move of two Washington National Guard units to the Armed Forces Reserve Center at Smokey Point in 2011 cleared the way for the church. Before it was Mars Hill, the armory for decades did double duty as a dance hall, wrestling arena and dog-show venue.
In Everett as at other Mars Hill churches, the high-profile founder delivers his sermons via giant video screens. Driscoll, whose title is preaching and vision pastor, preaches from the main Mars Hill Church in Bellevue. His sermons are seen at all Mars Hill churches.
Williams, an Australian who moved here two years ago from Adelaide, said he preaches five to 12 times per year.
With big screens and a top-notch sound system, the church has a high-tech delivery method for its conservative Christian message. "If it doesn't look good, people are not going to be interested," Williams said.
Last Sunday, Driscoll preached about fatherhood, but also about hell as reality, and the need for repentance. "The fires of hell never go out. We live in a day when I'm not supposed to say that," Driscoll told the Everett congregation in his video sermon. "God always gets the last word."
For this Sunday, the topic is The Book of James.
Williams said about 800 people attend Mars Hill Everett every Sunday.
"We believe the Bible is true and is the highest authority," Williams said. "We have great optimism that Jesus will use our people in Everett for change for the good."

Grand opening
Mars Hill Church will hold grand opening services at its new location in the old Everett Armory building at 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Sunday. Mars Hill Everett is at 2730 Oakes Ave. For more information, go to http://marshill.com/everett.

Throughout my years of working, I've made a large number of mistakes in my professional life and career planning – 52 critical mistakes, in fact. Even as I reinvented myself several times (from unhappy corporate VP, to marriage and family therapist, to fulfilled career coach and executive trainer), I took serious missteps, including waiting too long to move away from a direction that wasn't working, or partnering with the wrong folks who, in the end, made me miserable.
Of all the career mistakes I've made, and of those critical career errors I've observed in hundreds of professionals over the past eight years, there's one blunder that stands out as the most damaging and demoralizing.
What is the worst career mistake you can make?
Keeping your head buried in the sand, refusing to look up and see what's barreling down the pike towards you, and sticking fast and furiously to the status quo.
It can be summarized by these fateful words:
"I'm staying just where I am; I don't need to make any changes."
The reality today is that you must always be looking up and looking in – open to what's happening around you and within you. If you block out this vital information and refuse to process it and adapt appropriately to it, you'll be blindsided, either by changes in your professional environment, or by shifts inside you that bring with them powerfully unsettling outcomes. Getting blindsided really hurts and is hard to recover from (trust me on that).
What can you do to avoid this huge career blunder?
Take these five steps to ensure you'll see clearly what's happening around you and within you, and use the information you receive to manage and grow your career:
1) Remember, nothing outside yourself is "secure"
So many professionals have the mistaken notion that because they're doing well, their job is secure. Nothing could be farther from the truth. How you're faring in your job is NOT a predictor of the security of your role or position or you in it. A myriad of other important factors come into play, including: the stability of your industry, your employer's financial well-being, the ever-shifting power and labor dynamics at your company, your relationships with your peers, colleagues and managers, and structural or organizational demands/changes that are beyond your control. Nothing is secure– least of all a job – except what you hold and possess inside of you.
2) Grow and stretch your skills and abilities, or you'll fall behind
Another mistake people make is to hunker down hard and stick with only what they know to do. It's a recipe for disaster to stay overly-focused on your existing skill set, refusing to stretch your chops and embrace new talents, abilities, and focus areas. The key is to continually expand your professional toolbox, not just stay put. The business world is changing at the speed of light, and we need to keep ourselves current, adaptable and open to these changes to be of continuing value.
3) Identify exactly what your employer wants from you
Employed individuals today often think about what they want from the job, and about what the employer owes them. They neglect, however, to see that it's a two-way street: the relationship has to be mutually beneficially and positive, or it won't last. You need to identify specifically and concretely what your employer and manager want from you – behaviorally, performance-wise, and in terms of your relationships with others, your leadership potential and your long-term contribution. If you're not willing to or capable of giving them what they want, there will be changes made, and most likely you won't like them.
4) Keep your professional relationships positive and nurturing
Here's an important tip – if you don't get along with people, your job and career are in danger, no matter how well you "perform." Your potential success and value as a professional are directly correlated with how well you engage, inspire, and connect with others. If you hate the folks you work with, they'll end up hating you back, and mutual disdain is not a condition that will keep you in good stead at work. If your professional relationships are suffering, move to remedy them today.
5) If you're unhappy, make a change
Finally, if you're unhappy at work, you must make a change now. I'm not suggesting that you jump ship without another job, especially in these times. I mean that you need to get to the bottom of what isn't working – deeply and specifically –and address the situation without delay. Most people are hanging onto their jobs in this economy for fear of not being able to find another. If this describes you, my best advice is to keep your job for the time being, but try to make it the best you can, and make yourself the best you can be in the process.
Address your challenges, fears, insecurities, and problems before you get a new job or launch a new career. Otherwise, the problems will follow you in the next chapter of life and work. Do what you must to stay afloat, while planting seeds for your future career visions. Don't wait. Interview, network, reach out to former colleagues, learn new skills, get great recommendations on
What is your situation telling you about what needs to change?

Russian dissident's suicide mystery festers
MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian opposition activist who committed suicide at a Dutch deportation center after his request for political asylum was turned down was laid to rest Wednesday, as fellow activists demanded answers from the Netherlands over the murky circumstances of his death.
Alexander Dolmatov, a 36-year-old rocket engineer who feared arrest in Russia after an opposition protest turned violent in May, was taken to the prison-like deportation center in Rotterdam on the night of Jan. 16. The next morning he was found dead in his cell.
Dutch authorities are investigating and have not released an official cause of death, but his background in missiles and an enigmatic suicide note have fueled speculation about the case.
Fellow activists from The Other Russia, a punkish and anti-globalist opposition party with a cultish devotion to their leader, novelist Eduard Limonov, and other critics are pointing to Dutch immigration officials as the ones at fault and saying Dolmatov never should have been in detention.
A few dozen, dark-jacketed members came to pay their respects at the Moscow wake, where Limonov said he would "demand an investigation into what happened, because there are a lot of absolutely improbable circumstances coming up."
Dolmatov fled to the Netherlands believing he would quickly earn refugee status given concern in the West over a Kremlin crackdown on the opposition, his friends have been quoted as saying. Already, one participant in the May protest, which took place on the eve of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration for a third term, has been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison and about a dozen others are awaiting trial.
Dolmatov reported coming under pressure from Russia's security service, whose agents he claimed had threatened to get him fired from his job at a military plant. Immediately after he left for the Netherlands, the apartment where he lived with his mother was searched by police.
But Russian prosecutors did not file charges against him, and Dutch authorities denied his asylum request on Dec. 14.
Conspiracy theories about his death have spread across the Russian blogosphere. Opposition activists and bloggers have claimed his work designing missiles attracted the attention of Dutch security services, even though Dolmatov had the lowest possible clearance. Dolmatov himself had accused the Russian security services of trying to recruit him in 2008 and 2011.
Confusion deepened when Russian media published his suicide note. In a hastily scribbled letter to his mother, Dolmatov wrote that he was killing himself "so as not to return as a traitor, having shamed everyone" because he had "betrayed an honest person, betrayed the security of our Motherland."
Questions loom over the last few weeks of his life. His mother said she had increasing trouble reaching him on the phone and at one point he went missing for five days.
"He was in a strange state of drowsiness," his mother, Lyudmila Doronina, said Wednesday. "I once got through to him, he said, 'I'm sleeping, I want to sleep,' and it had never been like that. I understood something had gone wrong, and then it was all over."
His lawyer, Marq Wijngaarden, had filed an appeal on Jan. 11, which would have allowed him to remain in the Netherlands for at least a few more months. But it is unclear whether Dolmatov was aware of it.
Saskia Bolt from the Dutch Council of Refugees said the main issue was why the Russian asylum seeker was in detention if his case was still running.
More than half of Russian applications for asylum are rejected in the Netherlands, according to government data. In 2011, the last year for which the figures are available, 494 Russians sought asylum.

The Ghost
An ongoing series of noir mystery novels set in an alternate, steampunk-inspired 1920s New York and featuring the adventures of socialite Gabriel Cross and his hard-bitten vigilante alter ego, the Ghost.
Ghosts of Manhattan
1926. New York. The Roaring Twenties. Jazz. Flappers. Prohibition. Yet things have developed differently to established history. America is in the midst of a cold war with a British Empire that has only just buried Queen Victoria, her life artificially preserved to the age of 107. Coal-powered cars roar along roads thick with pedestrians, biplanes take off from standing with primitive rocket boosters, and monsters lurk behind closed doors and around every corner. This is a time in need of heroes. It is a time for the Ghost.
A series of targeted murders are occurring all over the city, the victims found with ancient Roman coins placed on their eyelids after death. The trail appears to lead to a group of Italian American gangsters and their boss, who the mobsters have dubbed "the Roman. However, as the Ghost soon discovers, there is more to the Roman than at first appears, and more bizarre happenings that he soon links to the man. As the Ghost draws nearer to the Roman and the center of his dangerous web, he must battle with foes both physical and supernatural and call on help from the most unexpected of quarters if he is to stop the Roman and halt the imminent destruction of the city.

Family law comprises many areas of legal practice pertaining to marriage and divorce, child custody, paternity and support, adoption, children's rights and elder care. Generally, it is divided into two areas – family related concerns and domestic relationships. Within these broad categories are other legal considerations such as juvenile law and crimes against minors. Paternity cases can also be handled by a family lawyer as can cases involving visitation rights. A family lawyer can also assist in dealing with Child Services and public assistance.
You will want to seek out the help and counsel of a family lawyer if you want to draft a prenuptial agreement, annul a marriage or file for divorce. Property settlements are usually negotiated by an attorney on your behalf as are alimony payments.
When children are involved in a divorce, custody and child support payments are negotiated by the attorneys representing both sides. Having an experienced advocate for you and your family on your side is always important, but especially so if you face an abduction of one of your children by your spouse or if your former spouse abuses his or her visitation rights.
If you are contemplating a civil union or domestic partnership, a family lawyer can be invaluable in navigating the special circumstances involved in non-traditional marriages. Similarly, if you are considering dissolving a domestic partnership, you will want to consult with a lawyer to understand and protect your rights.
The special circumstances associated with adoption, surrogacy and assisted reproduction require the specialized legal knowledge of a family attorney. Protecting your rights and those of the child you are adopting can be a lengthy legal process. Similarly, biological parents may want to preserve their rights after adoption and should retain experienced counsel as well.
The law protects children and minors and their rights. In cases where child abuse or neglect are alleged, a family attorney may be needed in order to protect the child. Children that are accused of crimes may require the services of family lawyers that are experienced adjudicating cases involving crimes by minors.
A growing area of family law is elder law which seeks to protect the rights and care of aging U.S. citizens. Elder abuse, elder care, fraud and end-of-life issues are the primary concerns of an elder care law attorney.
Your attorney will be able to explain to you the legal issues that you need to understand about your case. He or she will act in your best interests and on your behalf to reach a satisfactory conclusion that protects the legal rights of you and your family.

Royals starters facing early 100-pitch count
DETROIT -- Don't expect Royals starting pitchers to go much above 100 pitches, if that many, early in the season.
"The first three or four starts, once they get to the 100-pitch mark, they're about done," manager Ned Yost said. "Once we get into it, you extend 'em out to about 115. I'll probably never go much over 125.
"I start to get -- I don't know if nervous is the right word -- but I start to get very cautious once you get to 115, 125, depending on how they're doing. But the first three or four starts when they get between that 100 and 105 mark -- bam!"
That said, keep in mind that Yost is going with 11 pitchers and just six relievers instead of the seven he'd planned on to start the season, so he'll get as much as he reasonably can from his starters.
"You're going with an 11-man staff so you're going to try to milk everything you can out of your starters, but we'll just play it by ear and see where we go," he said.
In Monday's opening 4-3 loss to the Tigers, Yost pulled starter James Shields in the seventh inning after 105 pitches.

Life Will Get Better With A Psychic
People have been seeking out the advice and counsel of psychics for generations. These individuals have been given the gift of clairvoyance and extraordinary insight, and those who seek them out definitely benefit from those gifts.
Feeling more inspired and positive about life
One of the core principles that psychics operate under is the belief that people are still in tuned with energies from their past lives. With that said, these individuals provide others with information about their previous lives, and help those individuals to learn from those past experiences. This new-found knowledge can help people to feel more in tuned with the parts of themselves that they do not understand. This knowledge is also encouraging to the listener, as it informs him or her of the ability of the soul to persist. Individuals will feel encouraged in knowing that their souls will eventually be able to triumph over life's obstacles.
Learning how to cope with grief and anxiety
As clairvoyant individuals are able to see beyond their human senses, medium readings will help individuals by helping them to see the bigger picture. When people grieve the loss of loved ones or situations in their lives, psychics are able to show them that everything in life has a purpose. Psychics are able to get people thinking and allow for them to see things from a different perspective. These individuals are even able to help clients figure out what the purpose behind certain events might be; this allows for that person to lay to rest whatever is troubling them, and allows them to focus on moving forward in life.
Psychics help to improve karma Karma is the belief that thoughts and actions that are produces will have either a negative or positive consequence as a result. Psychics are able to pick up on the energy that a person puts into the atmosphere and explain the potential consequences of that energy. While bad karma can bring about a return of negative energy, psychics are able to instruct people in ways to neutralize that energy; they can also explain ways in which bad karma can be reversed. Psychics are also able to encourage different ways in which an individual can continue to release positive energy into the universe; thus, maintaining the existing good karma that person already has.
Learning what your dreams are saying
All people have dreams, but they are not always understandable. Psychics are able to interpret those dreams for the individual, and explain how those dreams are representations of current situations in life. If these dreams are warning signs from the unconscious, psychics are able to inform someone and suggest ways in which an issue can be resolved. Psychics will provide insight into the dreamer's mind and allow for them to use these dreams as tools to improve his or her life.
Receiving messages from beyond the grave
Mediums are able to get in contact with spirits that have passed away from the world of the living. These spirits may be able to give the individual peace of mind, or even provide answers to those questions that went unanswered while they were alive. These last chance communications

Doubt cast over ContactPoint security assurances
No, Minister
A UK government minister has issued assurances about the security of the government's child protection database ContactPoint, but the minister's assurances are incomplete, if not misguided, says one expert.
The ContactPoint system is designed to give social workers, police and NHS staff access to case files on children, so that a full case history of potentially vulnerable kids is easily available to authorised parties. ContactPoint, as is often the case with government IT systems, has been repeatedly delayed, and is currently undergoing testing trials with local authorities.
Responding to questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Beverley Hughes, secretary of state at the Department of Children, Schools and Families, sought to allay concerns that the system might be open to unauthorised access. Hughes said that penetration tests on the system had taken place, results of which she didn't intend to make public, before answering questions about security of remote access to the system.
Practitioners will be able to access ContactPoint remotely (i.e. from locations other than local authority, health service or national partner organisations premises) only via secure remote access solutions authorised and provided by those organisations and compliant with the ContactPoint security policy. Technical security measures prevent access from unsecured wireless broadband or public locations such as internet cafes and wireless "hotspots".
Furthermore users of the database will be unable to save data onto USB keys or other forms of removable media, Hughes added.
ContactPoint has been purposely designed so that users are not able to download information from the database onto removable media such a portable storage device or a laptop computer.
A full transcript of the exchange can be found in an extract of Hansard here.
However a penetration testing expert, who requested anonymity, said the minister's reassurance ignored the awkward point that many government computers are infected by malware.
"Local authorities and health service organisations are notoriously open and insecure. 'Remote access' infers that mobile users will be given access, typically laptop users.
"The remote access mechanism may be secure, but that doesn't stop the laptop itself being vulnerable, and acting as a conduit to the database, via a back door or otherwise."
Our source also cast doubt over assurances that users used be unable to download data from the database. "It is extremely difficult to prevent an application user downloading or otherwise storing database content locally, so I doubt that the ministers views reflect the real implementation of the system."
Establishing the database for the estimated 55,000 children in England and Wales that need to be enrolled will cost around £224m. Maintaining ContactPoint will cost a further £44m a year. If elected, the Conservatives have promised to scrap the system. ®

Donald Trump stayed strong in the south and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's campaign looked weak, despite high-profile endorsement in the Republican primaries. On the Democratic side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won by a large margin over Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders in Mississippi, continuing her southern dominance, though in Michigan, Sanders pulled out a close win and a stunning upset. And the race continues.
So what's next for the campaigns and how will they adjust strategies before upcoming debates and important primaries?

If you have any doubt that the Occupy movement is changing the American culture and capturing the imagination, check out this ridiculous ad for Mabelline lip balm in which supermodels carry signs and line the streets to protest—wait for it—dry lips. "We want lip balm we can believe in!" says one pouty model to the camera.
Absurd, exploitative, and way premature, to be sure. But it's also a sign that, four decades after the civil rights and Vietnam eras, protest has become cool again. That's a culture shift that can affect an entire generation, and move our politics along with it. Dry lips and all.

The perfect gift for the Cincinnati foody
Everyone in Cincinnati probably knows about this. These Cincy favorites are obviously great presents for those of us who grew up in Cincinnati, moved away, and still want that hometown flavor.
Please don't think I'm late to the party on this, I've known about these for a while, years. I never wrote about them because offering these faves as a mail order product was so blindingly brilliant, there didn't seem to be anything to say.
But as I was talking about these with my girlfriend (also from Cincy) about it, and I really starting thinking about them as a phenomenon. Here's the transcript from our gchat conversation
her: i'm buying my brothers skyline cravers gift baskets
Sent at 1:04 PM on Friday
me: i got one of those from t------ once
it's great
they will love
her: heck yeah. i love that these exist
me: my brother orders in ribs most years for the Super Bowl, I think
her: awesome
me: i wonder if other cities have that sort of thing
it seems so unique to cincy
where we have these very unique regional dishes
and lots of people who have moved away
but still want those dishes
i'm sure this is affected by my perspective, as a cincinnatian living away from cincy
me: there must be something about being from cincinnati
i feel like we share that so uniquely with our friends
her: so do i
next time someone from cincy gets married, we should get them a huge cincy gift basket. someone who's from there but not living there
like if j---- and t------- get married
me: yeah
Sent at 1:11 PM on Friday
her: the other cool thing. i just called them.. it's a 800 number but bc its a cincy thing i feel comfortable trying to figure out an easier route... anyway, i called them bc shipping is like $20. I was like, hey I'm from there. Can I just come get it from you direct when I'm home. They were like, sure no prob.
I hope you didn't mind the poor cut and paste job.
Anyway, why do Cincinnati dishes warrant this? Here's what I think.
1.) They are so unique, every time I share Montgomery Inn ribs or Skyline with an out-of-towner, it's preceded by a long disclaimer about what to expect and how it's different taste. And there's no telling how they'll react. Over 50% don't like it, but those who do really like it and get it right away. Don't try this with Larosa's though. Only people who've grown up with Larosa's like it, no one else will.
2.) There are many former Cincinnatians out there, and though many of them claim they couldn't wait to get out, there is some part of them that wishes they never left. This is how they relieve some of that. I'm speaking as someone who's moved away, and I'm speaking for my age group, which I would call 25-35.
3.) The food's good. In a straightforward, no-frills, Cincinnati kind of way.
I'm reminded of Portland, a city of similar size, that is known for it's cuisine. I've even heard of one dish that is pretty exclusive to Portland—apparently they love tater tots. They have a dish called totchos—tater tots with nacho toppings.
But I've never heard about any restaurant or dish that is native to Portland outside the confines of Portland. Maybe that's because I've been in the Midwest or on the East Coast my whole life. But no one talks about it. I know people talk about Cincinnati food, especially chili, in NYC and Chicago.
Does anyone know if any other city has a cuisine that warrants mail-ordering? I know my perspective is skewed, but I'm thinking that Cincy cuisine is the most loved regional food in the country, by people who no longer live in that region.

How 'Free' Has Even More Value Than People Think It Should
from the and-so-it-goes deptEarlier this year, we pointed to some of the psychological reasoning for those in the RIAA/MPAA's of the world (and their supporters) for arguing against giving stuff away for free, even when there was evidence that they could make more money doing so. In that case, psychological experiments showed that people don't act rationally when they think something is "unfair." That is, they'll take a worse absolute result, just to make sure that they're relatively better off.
Now there's a new book that just came out that highlights a related irrationality. This one is by behavioral economist Dan Ariely. Someone had told me a year ago to look out for Ariely's book, which I had forgotten about, but now that it's out, it appears to include discussions on some very interesting experiments. If you listen to the audio interview at that link, Ariely discusses an experiment he ran with children at Halloween. He first gave them all three Hershey kisses. Then he held up two Snickers bars -- one tiny one and one large one. He offered to trade them the small one for one kiss and the large one for two kisses. Most kids quickly made the trade for the larger Snickers bar -- which is a perfectly rational move.
He then changed the terms of the experiment. He offered to give kids the small Snickers bar for "free" or the large one for one Hershey kiss. Most kids now took the free small Snickers bar -- even though they are worse off in that case. Having two Hersheys kisses and the big Snickers bar providers more chocolate than three kisses and the small bar -- but the impact of "free" got them even more interested. Ariely ran more similar experiments (economist Tyler Cowen wrote about one recently) and found that again and again people overpay for free.
This is certainly an interesting finding, given all that we talk about the use of free in economics. If anything, this (bizarrely, I'll admit) makes the case even stronger for using free as a part of any business model. It suggests that people value something that's offered for free more than they should. That has enormous implications for the promotional value of "free." If you're using it that way, it actually increases the value relative to other things, despite the myth some people still have that if something is "free" it means it has no value. Anyway, Ariely's book, Predictably Irrational is now available. Ariely has also put up a blog about the book, though there's not much info there just yet.

This next character that I am about to show you how to draw is from an animated television show called Futurama. I already submitted lessons on how to draw Fry and how to draw Bender step by step from the show, and I thought that it would be fun to do another character from this very funny TV series that is seen on Adult Swim. Not only did I think it would be fun, a member from DragoArt made a request for a tutorial on "how to draw Leela" from Futurama, step by step. I have watched this show many times and every time I view the series it seems to get funnier and funnier with every sitting. Turanga Leela or as we know and call her Leela, is one of the main characters of the show and she is a captain as well. In the beginning of the series it was believed that Leela was a cyclopean alien but as more and more episodes where written and aired, it was confirmed that she is nothing more than a sewer mutant. Leela's character in Futurama is probably the most recognizable because she has one over sized eye, a big nose with purple hair that is almost always kept in a ponytail. Her love interest of the series is no other than Philip J. Fry and sometimes that even gets strange because he is a human and she is not. Leela, Fry and Bender are crew members for Planet Express. Leela is often seen being the main heroine of the show and she almost always rescues her mates from troubling times. Her voice actor is Katey Sagal who is best known for her role in Married with Children playing Peg Bundy who sometimes was somewhat of a dim witted wife to Al Bundy. This tutorial will show you "how to draw Leela" from Futurama, step by step. I will be back with yet some more drawing fun and I think you will like what is coming up next. Peace out people!

There is little doubt that the MS world is a small world, indeed. I've come to accept that I may – at nearly any time or place – run into someone from the MS community who recognizes me for the work we do for the cause. It was a bit outside the normal realm of the MS small world when I sat down to get a new leg brace to combat my on-again, off-again drop-foot.
The hulk of a mustachioed man who fitted me had an accent thick to match his arms and I knew it immediately to be Ukrainian. We began to chat as he measured me from heel to toe, from toe to toe and so on. His wife, we came to understand, came from a village right next to the one where I was stationed with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in 1997. He, in fact, shared a last name with one of the families with whom I stayed during my deployment to work with farmer-bakers in the far southwest of the country.
Come to find out, he was distantly related to that family… Small world!
We got on with the fitting after having a laugh and I was quite surprised at how far technology had advanced since my last brace was fitted, over a decade ago. That nylon monstrosity had been custom-made for me at well-respected orthotics and prosthetics lab which was part of a local university.
The way that one fit (or didn't), I could only guess that it had been the project of a struggling graduate student.
The man who worked me up for this one, however, assured me that many advancements in orthotic braces and implants had come along in the past several years and, come to fine out, they have very much to do with work being done for wounded veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Someone asked me, in the comments from last week's interview blogs to explain more about my brace. This post is my way of explaining.
I do not use a brace every day. Not that my drop-foot isn't enough to use it most days. Rather, I want to keep those muscles as toned as possible so I stretch, exercise, and use my leg and foot as much as possible. There are times, however, when it's just safer and I could use with a reminder of my limitations (if you know what I mean).
I've tried the electro-stimulating walking aids and was very surprised by how they work. Were my drop-foot to progress, I may consider adapting to these very expensive but quite interesting pieces of medical gadgetry. For now though, a good brace is enough.
I mention expense.
My last brace cost me nothing out of pocket (though I can't say that it was much of a bargain as I wore it far, far less than I would have had it a better comfort to value ratio). Even with decent insurance this brace sucked nearly $400.00 out of pocket (about one-tenth the cost of the electronic versions and my insurance would pay none of that).
Still, with the thickness of a dime and strength beyond aircraft aluminum, my new brace fits into my shoes (most of my shoes – my beloved boat shoes must be relinquished to the "good days," and my custom-made Swedish chef's clogs are a thing of my past anyway…), it hides beneath my trouser's leg and it keeps me from tripping on the odd stone or flooring transition.
We've not spoken about such braces before on the Life With MS Blog, which is something of a surprise as we've been at this for coming on seven years now. I – as always – invite you to chime in with your experience with (or need for) such a supportive device.
I also want to thank everyone here and especially Jeff and Rose from Everyday Health for your continued patience as we get settled into our new home. No Internet yet, five hours' time difference, and the all the difficulties of a move have made it difficult for me to get things in on time and in proper order. We hope to have all of that settled by the end of next week… We hope!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Ravishing Mad was founded
in Malmö, Sweden by designer Anna Österlund after graduating from the Swedish
School of Textiles in Borås and the first collection was presented in 2008 with
an artsy punk statement on the Swedish underground scene. She now runs
Ravishing Mad as a lifestyle label under which she also works with fashion photography
and music videos for both her own projects and for other brands and musicians.
She has always collaborated closely with underground musicians, artists,
photographers and film makers alike in devotion to experimental creation and to
pinpoint fashion in its widest definition.
Although adhering to
Swedish design traditions of high quality, clean lines and stressing
functionality, designs are deliberately pushed further by a D.I.Y. mentality
and by straying from the strictness of traditional cuts in streetwear. The
collections offer a denim line as well as unisex styles in ready-to-wear and
more extreme versions and are shown on the fashion weeks of Paris, New York,
Copenhagen and Berlin.
Ravishing Mad has been
named "reinventor of denim" by the renowned fashion mag Collezioni
Sport and Street for the experimental hand painted pieces and Danish designer
and multi-artist Henrik Vibskov was one of the first to discover the Ravishing
Mad. Since then, the collections have been available at Urban Outfitters, Delta
in Tokyo, Rac boutique in Toronto, TG-170 in NYC, PotiPoti in Berlin, Bespoke
Boutique in Norwich, D-mop in Hong Kong and many more.

I'd probably never use an electric blanket - I've just heard too many horror stories that include elements like burn marks and houses transformed to ash. But a water cooled/heated mattress? That sounds downright brilliant.
The ChiliBed is similar to all the memory foam mattresses you've seen advertised lately, but inside its core, water is either heated or cooled while it passes through coils, generating a massive temperature flux that should emanate naturally from your sleep surface.
But the real reason this product felt so remarkable? The claimed temperature range is impressively (and maybe even dangerously?) wide, accommodating those of you who'd like to sleep in environments spanning from 9C to 48C - and each member of the bed (assuming you're just sleeping with one other person) can have their own temperature controls.
Technically, I find the ChiliBed to be quite clever. Practically, well, neither temperature extreme sounds particularly healthy.
Still, bundled with the right level of research, it'd be neat if the ChiliBed could adjust temperatures in sync with your sleeping patterns, helping you rest or, heck, just sweat/shiver off some of your excess weight. [ChiliBed]

The California Senate approved a $24-million expenditure on Thursday to speed the confiscation of guns from people who have been disqualified from owning firearms because of criminal convictions or serious mental illness.
Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) said budget cuts to the Department of Justice have hampered a program that targets people who purchased firearms legally but were later disqualified because of a subsequent conviction or determination of mental illness.
As a result of the cuts, there is a backlog of 19,000 people who have improper possession of more than 40,000 guns, including 1,600 assault weapons, and the number is increasing faster than their firearms can be confiscated.

Arab Spring analysis: Why kings fared better than presidents
(Phys.org)—Two years after the revolutionary start of the Arab Spring, a key question remains regarding the wave of uprisings and regime takeovers in the Middle East: why did so many Arab republics like Tunisia and Libya fall while every Arab monarchy remained intact?
The popular media-driven theory purports that because monarchs enjoy traditional religious and tribal legitimacy, their citizens feel an intense loyalty and believe monarchs have an advantage over republics because they can spearhead controlled reforms that defuse public discontent. Many academics agree and consider it the primary reason why royals from the eight Arab monarchies – Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the Persian Gulf littoral states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates – remain in absolute power.
Gregory Gause, professor of political science and Middle East expert, isn't one of them and questions the focus on monarchies by those trying to come up with an answer to why countries with kings fared better than those with presidents. "It's kind of an obvious question and the simple answer has been, 'Well, it must be something about monarchies.' It's the kind of one-step removed, news analysis accounts that have been developing in the Middle East. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, but I think it was kind of an easy answer. Such explanations do not hold up under scrutiny. That's what I wanted to push back."
Gause' self-described "counterpunch" came in the form of an article he co-authored with Sean L. Yom, assistant professor of political science at Temple University, in the October issue of the Journal of Democracy, a publication produced by the National Endowment for Democracy. In "Resilient Royals: How Arab Monarchies Hang On," Gause predicts the prospects for popular revolution in Arab kingdoms to remain slim as long as their leaders continue to maintain the following advantages: broad-based coalitions; access to hydrocarbon rents; and support from foreign patrons.
"Ruling monarchism flourishes in the Arab world, but the reasons for this do not stem from any mysterious essence of kingship," writes Gause. "They stem, rather, from historical choices and physical resources amenable to matter-of-fact analysis. To be sure, culture and institutions are central forces in the politics of any state. Yet they do not constitute convincing explanations for the resilience of royalism in the Arab world."
Permissive international environment linked to successful monarchies
Gause provides a strategic explanation for monarchical exceptionalism linking the historical legacy of domestic choices with a permissive international environment.
"First, many of these royal houses have historically mobilized cross-cutting coalitions of popular support, coalitions that have helped to forestall mass opposition and to bolster the ruling family against whatever opposition has emerged," claims Gause. "Second, most have also reaped ample rents from oil or foreign aid, allowing them to pay for welfare and development programs meant to alleviate public discord. Finally, when all else fails, these kingdoms have enjoyed the backing of foreign patrons who assist them through diplomatic assurances, economic grants, and military interventions. For a long time, the United States played this role."
Gause gives historical examples of inherent qualities of Arab monarchism that are "hardly safeguards against deposition." In the postcolonial era, for example, monarchies were overthrown in Egypt (1952), Tunisia (1957), Iraq (1958), North Yemen (1962), South Arabia (1967) and Libya (1969). If Muslim (albeit non-Arab) countries are included in Southwest Asia, then Afghanistan (1973) and Iran (1979) join the list. "If royal authoritarianism has intrinsic cultural legitimacy, how could so many Arab kings have lost their thrones? If kings by nature wisely handle opposition with visionary reforms through institutional manipulation, then why did so many fail to do so?"
Another reasons revolt may not come as intensely in some monarchies, according to Gause, is because even though people living in the Middle East may not necessarily believe in them philosophically, they might prefer them to republics, where life doesn't always look so good.
"If you are a Jordanian or a Saudi and you look around at Iraq, Egypt and Syria you might say, 'Hey, we've got it a lot better than those guys do,'" he says. "And that might not have anything to do with a profound belief that monarchy is culturally consistent with your world view or the way you live your life. It could just be a very practical thing like, 'Places with presidents seem to screw up while places with kings seem to be better off.' One of things we should have learned from the Arab Spring is that just because people didn't rebel doesn't necessarily mean that the regime is popular. All these regimes that fell were pretty quiet, stable regimes – and then all of a sudden they weren't."
