Comedian Mike MacDonald's death at 62 on March 17 wasn't totally unexpected. He suffered from serious health problems in recent years, at one point requiring a liver transplant. Still, his passing was decades premature and jolting for me personally because it stirred memories of shared comedy club stages way back in the day.
I had the good fortune to catch MacDonald's act in the early '80s in and around Toronto. MacDonald was The Guy at Yuk Yuk's and other clubs, the headliner who finished the night. He sustained a remarkable career as a club comic, including a 30+ year iron man run at Just for Laughs.
The act I was in, Bullock & Brioux, was the opposite of MacDonald — two guys, no staying power, one Yuk Yuk's appearance. MacDonald was like a testy big brother at the time, and, frankly, scared the begeebers out of me and other comics who snuck in from the suburbs.
He'd mellowed — but was no less candid — by the time I caught up with him in 1989 on the set of his short-lived CBC series Mosquito Lake (which co-starred my grade school chum Dan Redican). I was blown away by his honesty then, and by the magazine for letting it all run. Here's an excerpt from that TVG story:
"People say I've changed," says Mike MacDonald. "Well, when you stop doing drugs, that changes you — I don't care what anybody says."
For over a decade, Mike MacDonald, star of the new CBC sitcom Mosquito Lake, was one of the most brilliant and intimidating acts on the comedy club scene. The complete antithesis of a more marketable yukster like hyper Howie Mandel (a Toronto club mate before his break on St. Elsewhere), the bushy-browed MacDonald drew upon his personal demons and fearlessly exorcised them on stages across Canada and the U.S. The angst was no act: fledgling comics were warned to keep clear of ol' Bad Attitude, a.k.a. the King of Sarcasm, or Mr. 666 to you, pal.
"He was a wild, maniacal, intense, driving, passionate fringe character," says Toronto Yuk Yuk's impresario Mark Breslin. "But in a business which is extremely competitive and backbiting, nobody ever questioned Mike MacDonald's talent. He was the best I ever saw at the club — period."
What people did question, particularly film and TV producers, was MacDonald's lifestyle. After countless one night stands in dingy club after comedy club, MacDonald admits he was a full-blown cocaine and heroin addict. "I don't know how many times I promised God — 'Get me down, and tomorrow I'll quit," says the 34-year-old comedian between cigarettes. "Finally, it got to a point where I said, 'Hey, I'm not going to give you all these false promises because I can't live up to them — the drug's got me.'"
Sick of feeling "like a dirtbag every night, feeling really ashamed of myself," MacDonald credits a talk with his "maker" with helping him through one last dark night. Then, "Boom," he says, snapping his fingers, "right like that, I stopped."
At first, the hyenas back at the club didn't buy it, "but eventually some of the other guys started asking me how to get off. All of my friends have seen what had happened to me before — when I was dark — and after I quit. And, obviously, these last three years have been everything."
Those years include a stabilizing marriage to longtime love Bonnie, and a long-considered career move to L.A. "I was always looking for something to get me off the road," says MacDonald, "because, after 11 years man, I've had enough already. You just reach a burnout stage where it's really hard to stay fresh."
Still, he was reluctant to make the move. "The problem with Los Angeles is, it's the last place. I know guys who went there 10 years ago and they still haven't even got a commercial."
The article, written long before any links on-line, went on to list MacDonald's TV appearances on Letterman and Arsenio Hall as well as several CBC specials. Mosquito Lake lasted just the one season. The cottage country-themed sitcom was generally lambasted by critics. That didn't stop MacDonald from wondering how even crappier Canadian-made shows such as Learning the Ropes had somehow been exported to the States. "Check the mail box!" MacDonald would say back home in LA. "If Lyle Alzado's pickin' up a cheque down here — hey hey hey — wait a minute!"
The comedian never really got another series shot, but lives on in all those Just for Laughs appearances. He would have been proud of the love and respect that poured in on Twitter from peers these past few weeks. He certainly seemed to be in a happier place when I spoke with him for that article in '89.
"You don't get medals for staying like that — angry and dark," he told me, adding that he was tired of that stance. "It's really draining after a while.
"Besides," he said, "after Belushi died, all that stuff's not hip anymore. What's hip now? Who cares?"

Vision Coverage – A Highly Valued Benefit
Offering vision coverage can be a win-win for both employers and employees. From the employer's perspective, vision coverage is relatively inexpensive, rates do not tend to increase dramatically and research shows that employees who visit an optometrist yearly are better producers with lower absenteeism.
72 percent of the adult population already require corrective lenses and yet only 48 percent have their eyes checked regularly…primarily due to cost. Employees with vision coverage are more apt to see their eye doctor on an annual basis, keeping their prescriptions updated as their eyes change.
Premier Access offers two vision plans that offer a variety of benefits, both in- and out-of-network. Exams, lenses, frames and contacts are all covered at varying levels, depending upon the plan. Discounted LASIK procedures are also available. Coverage is available to groups of five or more eligible employees.
The Premier Access vision coverage is offered in conjunction with MESVision. MES has a substantial panel of Ophthalmologists, Opticians, and Optometrists located throughout the United States including most popular retail optical chain locations. Participating providers are required to meet stringent quality of care and credentialing standards.
Premier Access Vision is available as a voluntary product.
If you would like more information or would like a group vision quote, contact your insurance broker or, if you are a broker, call your Premier Access Account Executive.
The Premier Access Vision Plan is administered by MESVision and is underwritten by Gerber Life Insurance Company of White Plains, NY

How many times do you find someone who you hit it off with immediately? So assuming you're my age (29), in the past 10 years, when was the last time you've found someone that you meshed with immediately? What…like, 2? Two times? Yep, that's about right. Can I tell you a secret? I have never meshed immediately with anyone I've ever dated. (Hmm…that could be the problem.) It was always something I worked toward. It had to grow.
The first guy I ever "sparked" with was this guy. He and I are still friends, and I still judge every relationship by our friendship. Ideally, it's what I would want. He wasn't perfect, but he had (and still had) character. That's a rarity these days. We talk about once every month or two, checking in about life, cracking jokes, and seeing how the other's relationship with God is faring (see??? See what I mean? *deep sigh*). I always make sure to ask about his family (he's a husband and father now), and we keep up with each other. We were always good friends. Very Dawson's Creek.
He was the only one I've ever sparked with immediately…until he wasn't.
There is someone who I've sparked with, almost immediately. We met because of a common purpose, and have very similar personalities and intellectual thought processes. Honestly, he reminds me a lot of the dude up there. Smart, funny, with several other *unicorn-esque characteristics. I remember thinking it when I first met him… "We click." And then I found out he had a girlfriend.
In Season 5, "Plus One is the Loneliest Number" Carrie was celebrating her impending book release. She was speaking with her editors and met a guy. A smart guy. A funny guy. A guy with whom she had a common interest (writing). And they had a non-date. Just spent time together doing random non-important things. And she went out on a limb and asked him to be her Plus One. And then she found out about his girl, their cohabitation, and her visiting parents. And she made the statement that was so reflective that I'm sure that this
fictional character woman was thinking for any woman in this situation, "What's the point of meeting someone like that if they're unavailable!" Touché.
Charlotte responded this way, "Maybe that's the universe's way of telling you they're still out there," while Miranda (I think…or Samantha) said, "No, it's the universe's way of saying all the good ones are taken." Hmm… So how do you take spark plugs? You know, those situations when you find yourself feeling someone that you can't pursue? When I was in Germany, I met a guy on the Omega Cruise (he was a Kappa though). He worked for BMW and lived in New York. He was in Germany for work. We talked awhile, but the reality was we were in Germany. The likelihood of anything coming of it was low (though we still email from time to time). I personally have no idea. It's one thing if you just notice the plug…but to actually see the fire pop? Then what?
What I will say is that I thank the Charlotte's in my life who choose faith. It's good to have you folks in my corner. I hope anyone else who has ever experienced this situation has a few Charlottes. Because, character in the dating pool is starting to become a masterpiece of minimalism. (Can you name that quote? 5 points if you can :-] ).
So what say you? How do you handle those? Try to change your own destiny? Wait for your own version? Kick kittens? I'm interested in knowing. 🙂
*unicorn: a person who has many wonderful qualities that either have a low propensity of being in one person, or if they are…said person should look like a mud duck (but oddly…he or she doesn't)
P.S. This song has been stressing me out, lol. The girl at the gas station is overlooked in this scenario.

I FIRST NOTICED David Sims' work six years ago when his vignettes of young Brits in thrift-store clothes, captured in slack, half-conscious poses, showed up in The Face and British iD. Shortly thereafter his images found their way into Harper's Bazaar. But it was the photos Sims shot for Fabien Baron's 1993 Calvin Klein ads that propelled him (and model Kate Moss) to international prominence. Sims' images for the minimal, precisely composed Klein ads, like his subsequent work, retained the immediacy that marked his defiantly casual earlier style; indeed, the quirky expressions and unselfconscious off-camera gestures of the models quickly made Sims' style a '90s signature. In more recent work, the stark mise-en-scène in his photos has taken on an even harsher, more abstract quality—he often employs monochrome backgrounds, frequently in supersaturated colors—that separate his photos not only

Mark Chipman is the principal owner and chairman of the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. He is also chairman of True North Sports & Entertainment, which operates the Jets and the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
A Winnipeg native, Chipman was an honor student at the University of North Dakota, graduating with a degree in economics. He later obtained a law degree from the same institution. After working as a lawyer in Florida, he returned to his hometown in 1988 and joined Birchwood Automotive Group, a group of Winnipeg car dealerships founded by his father. Since 2001, he has been president of Birchwood's parent company, the Megill-Stephenson Company.[1]
After the original Winnipeg Jets left for Phoenix in 1996, Chipman led a group that purchased the International Hockey League's Minnesota Moose and moved them to Winnipeg, renaming them the Manitoba Moose. With the demise of the IHL in 2001, Chipman was instrumental in getting the Moose and five other teams accepted into the American Hockey League. In 2005, Chipman was awarded the James A. Hardy Memorial Trophy as the AHL's top executive.
Also in 2001, Chipman and a group of local investors created True North Sports & Entertainment for the purpose of building a new sports and entertainment venue in downtown Winnipeg. Originally called the True North Centre, the MTS Centre open in 2004 and became the new home of the Moose. Ownership of the Moose was transferred to TNSE in 2003 in order to consolidate the operations of the team and new arena.[2][3]
Chipman's real goal was to bring an NHL team back to Winnipeg in order to fill the void left by the Jets. As early as 2009, Chipman and True North were reported to be in talks to buy the Phoenix Coyotes from the NHL and move them back to Winnipeg. There were also rumors that the Atlanta Thrashers were up for sale and possible relocation to Winnipeg.[4]
After on-and-off again talks with the NHL over a two-year span regarding the Coyotes , Chipman and TNSE were presented the opportunity to purchase the Atlanta Thrashers. In May 2011, Chipman announced they would be buying the Thrashers and moving them to Winnipeg for the 2011-12 NHL season, to play in the MTS Centre. At the 2011 NHL Entry Draft held in St. Paul, Minnesota; Chipman revealed the franchise's new name just before making its first-round pick. As a result, the Moose were relocated to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and renamed the St. John's IceCaps. The IceCaps are the top minor league affiliate of the Jets'.
Chipman also serves on the board of the Hockey Canada Foundation. He is married to Patti; they have three daughters.

At the recent CWL Birmingham event hosted by Insomnia 62, the UK CoD fans cemented themselves as some of the most eccentric and exciting fans in esports.
Their songs, chants and roars encouraged Splyce's UK Call of Duty team to a second-place finish against all odds.
The event didn't suffer from the effects that a lot of Call of Duty events seem to face overseas. Fans were packing the hall on Friday during Pool Play, supporting every team in contention and showing a clearly diminished OpTic bias (though the "Let's go OpTic!" chants did reverberate throughout much of the weekend, it wasn't quite as prevalent as at other events).
Despite the favouritism towards Splyce – including "Shut up, Maven" chants every time the caster mentioned Luminosity – the crowd showed their sportsmanship following Luminosity's win, with chants of "GG LG"
What did reverberate however – both throughout the event and in the days following – was the support shown from the crowd in attendance, particularly to Splyce as they made their incredible Loser's Bracket run.
As stated, the crowd was loud throughout most of the weekend, but the noise levels reached their head in the final two series, following Splyce's monumental win, Game Five Round 11, versus OpTic Gaming.
MADCAT WITH THE 🔫🔫🔫💥💥💥 pic.twitter.com/ehb6PERwvG
— Phil (@Momo) April 1, 2018
The volume increased exponentially in the following hours, firmly in support of Splyce as they sought the first international Major win for an EU team in Europe since EGL 8 in 2012, where Madcat's TCM team beat OpTic Gaming in the Grand Final.
Both players and personalities in attendance were at awe of the lengths the crowd was going to to show their love for Call of Duty esports.
Can we bring this crowd to Seattle? And Anaheim? And Champs? Please?
— Chance The Caster (@ChanceCasts) April 1, 2018
Most importantly was the reaction of players to the crowd support – not only does it validate their careers, of which they have fought tooth and nail to maintain, but in a turbulent time for Call of Duty esports, it shows that they have a future too.
2 thoughts: 1. Absolutey love to see hard carry John back in his full form. 2. The CWL Birmingham crowd was incredible. Probably the best crowd we've had in a while in my opinion.
— Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) April 1, 2018
Don't think I'll ever be able to forget the crowd yesterday, nothing better than hearing people show their support towards you.
— BanceyCastle (@Bance) April 2, 2018
Despite the heavy favouritism towards Splyce throughout the CWL Birmingham Grand Final, including "Shut up, Maven" chants every time caster Maven mentioned Luminosity, and booing when the opposing team touched the Hardpoint, the crowd also showed their traditional sportsmanship following Luminosity's win.
Chants of "GG LG" resonated throughout, and "MVP" chants followed when LG's John lifted the Most Valuable Player trophy trailing a standout performance.
If anything, we at Esports News UK hope that this inspires Activision and the COD World League to bring more Call of Duty events to the UK in the future, giving such a rabid fan base the entertainment that they evidently crave in one of their biggest markets.

In 1295,
after a suitable place had been staked out by the locator Jindřich, the
king Wenceslas II. founded the town of Plzeň,
when the former Plzeň, now Starý Plzenec, had not anymore
been sufficient for safety and defense of this region. The newly
founded town was named New Plzeň. Simultaneously with its
foundation, the church of St. Bartholomew was built together with two
one for Dominicans and the other for minor brethern of the Franciscan
At that time, the parish church for New Plzeň was originally the Romanic church of All Saints in the municipality of Malice, a living community far before the foundation of the town. For many years after the church of St. Bartholomew had been built, the church of All Saints was still called the "mother" of the town church. In 1322, the church of St. Bartholomew became a parish church and the church of All Saints an affiliated church. Following a resolution by the king John of Luxembourg, both churches were given to the Order of German Knights, which executed clerical administration here till 1546.
The first reference about the church of St. Bartholomew dates back to May 2, 1307, when a Plzeň townsman, Wolfram Zwilinger, bequeathed his kiln and malt house to the church. It is also the very first report that sacred masses had already been celebrated in the church, although the temple had yet been far from finished.
Sources from the oldest times mentioned the first Plzeň vicar Mikuláš Fridlinův in 1320, who was, as it seems, a secular priest. He was followed by vicars belonging to the aforementioned Order of German Knights. Members of this Order were also occupying a number of preacher, chaplain and altar-keeper posts, gradually established at the parish church - there was up to 6 to 10 priests. They also administrated the hospital of St. Mary Magdalene, founded in 1320 by a townsman Konrád z Dobřan outside the city walls, subsidizes with many gifts and heritages. The hospital church was abandoned and demolished as late as at the end of the 18th century during the reign of Joseph II..
During the years, the parish church was given many privileges. For example in 1325, prebendary bishops Jakub and Štěpán, apparently as recommended by Jan IV., bishop of Prague, granted indulgence to those who visited the church of St. Bartholomew in Plzeň on the day of this saint or other significant days. Also, on February 5, 1390, the Roman pontiff Boniface granted another indulgence to those attending celebrations on the day of Corpus Christi.
In 1419, resulting from influence of a priest Václav Koranda, one party of Plzeň citizens gave the town in to Žižka, but the town was taken over by the royal army in the following year. Since that time, the Catholic party had the edge on protestants and bravely defended against attacks of Hussites, who sieged the town several times (1421, 1427, 1431 and 1433). Particularly memorable was the Hussite's siege in 1433-34, when Plzeň citizens fought off an army of thirty six thousand invaders led by Prokopem Veliký and Jan Čapek ze Sán. As Ant. Podlaha writes: "Great was the fame Plzeň citizens gained among all loyal catholics at home and abroad for their bravery.". Plzeň citizens added a camel to the town's coat of arms, commemorating their lucky raid to the enemy's camp where they captured this unusual animal. Since then, every year Plzeň citizens pompously celebrated anniversary of their liberation, the so-called "New Feast of Plzeň".
During disputes between the pope Paul II. and the king Jiří of Poděbrady in the 15th century, Plzeň again stood loyally by the Catholic party. For this, the pope allowed them in 1446 to add two golden keys to the coat of arms, as though he wanted to share the papal coat of arms (keys of St. Peter) with them for their loyalty.
In the years 1448-1453 and then 1467-1478, the Prague Metropolitan Chapter relocated to Plzeň. One of the capitulars held the office of the Plzeň archdeacon. Thus, there were simultaneously the an archdeacon and a Plzeň vicar from the Order of German Knights here at those times.
In 1534, the papal legat Petr Pavel Vergerius granted to the Plzeň vicar Matouši Švihovský and to all his successors the right to wear mitre, verge, gloves, ring, shoes and other pontifical insignia on Sundays and feast days inside the town in the parish church. The were also allowed to bestow blessing after sacred masses and other ceremonies. After death of Matouš Švihovský in 1546, the Emperor Ferdinand granted to the Plzeň municipality a disposition right to the chuch of St. Bartholomew, vested in the Order of German Knights up till then. Since those times, secular priests were appointed vicars. After the right to pontifical insignia were given to Plzeň, the local vicars were mostly called "prelates". What happened regularly was that an archdeacon was appointed Plzeň's vicar, and so the title of archdeacon was then connceted with the office of Plzeň's vicar.
Soon after the Society of Jesus arrived in Bohemia, they started negotiations on establishment of a college and schools in Plzeň. The Dominican monastery was intended to be given to them, but in the end this plan was abandoned.
At this time, loyal Catholics of Plzeň received great recognition and appreciation from the apostolic seat. The Pope Gregory XIII learned from the Jesuit Ant. Possevina, how Plzeň citizens were carefully and diligently defending Catholic faith, and sent them a number of deeds granting plenipotent indulgence. The Holy Father also took Plzeň under special protection of St. Peter and the apostolic seat and allowed Plzeň citizens to add to their coat of arms a cross with the sign "In hoc signo vinces" and an angel who protect the whole coat of arms with his cloak. Devotion of Plzeň Catholics at those times were very high, which can be proved by the fact than on Easter in 1578, 14 000 people get to communion in Plzeň.
Since the times of the Emperor Maxmilian, this favorable situation was becoming worse. Gradually, non-Catholics were coming to the town, some of them even incepted as townsmen later on. Their number was growing, despite all vigilance of the Catholics, and in the end there was a great scandal when the vicar Fabian converted to protestantism.
Plzeň lived through hard times, when the non-Catholic corps started revolting. In autumn 1618, the rebels sent an army led by general Mansfeld against Plzeň. The town bravely defended against sieges and invading, but in the end Mansfeld managed to conquer it. This happened on November 21 1618. The corps subsequently allowed protestantism (Calvinism) in Plzeň. Calvinist services were celebrated in the church of St. Bartholomew, the Franciscan monastery was used for secular purposes and the church of All Saints became a sheep pen. Catholics only had the Dominican church.
Plzeň was liberated as late as in 1621 - the garrison left here by Mansfeld surrendered the town to the Emperor's army. Two years later, the papal nuncio Karel, a prebendary bishop, re-consecrated churches in Plzeň, disgraced by Calvinists.
Cardinal Harrach changed the structure of his diocese - instead of deanships, vicarates were established. Thus, the Plzeň "archdeaconry" only became an honorary title of the St. Bartholomew's parish. However, many times archdeacons were appointed vicars of the newly established vicarate of Plzeň.
During the reign of Emperor Ferdinand III. and Leopold I. (second half of the 17the century), establishment of bishopric in Plzeň was intensively discussed. But for the resistance of Plzeň citizens, who feared this would have limited their patronal rights, this idea was abandoned in the end.
In the following two centuries (particularly in the 19th century), heralded great development of the town - industry, new buildings, annexation of surrounding municipalities. In respect of spiritual history of the town, this is a period of significant archdeacons ( T. Kordík, J. Lindauer, A. Hlavan, A. Střízek), who supported not only religious development of the town, but also greatly contributed to prosperity and growing significance of the town in general.
The historic coverage of the 20th century is quite imperfect and incomplete. Plzeň was greatly damaged during the World War II, when a major part of the town was bombarded and many monuments were in wrecks. The Communist era was another distaster, both for the religious life and for the situation of moinuments in the town. Particularly in the beginning of the 1950's, a large number of friars (Dominicans, Franciscans, Redemptorists), as well as several dozens of female disciples, Sisters of Notre Dame, were displaced from Plzeň into collection monasteries in Bohemia and Moravia. Despite this and thanks to activities and courage of several chaplains, Christian life in Plzeň did not cease to exist, but continued to live on, though quite limited. During the totalitarian period, many communities, particularly the prayer communities, were also of a great significance.
In the end, Plzeň lived to see not only the fall of the totalitarian regime, but also the establishment of bishopric. This happened on May 31, 1993, based on the resolution of the Saint father John Paul II. Ceremonial enthronization was held on July 10 of the same year; and Mons. František Radkovský was appointed the first bishop of the Plzeň.

Question: Will a spray tan prevent me from getting a good natural tan out in the sun?
Answer: Absolutely not. Spray tan will not in any way interfere with a natural sun tan. However, be aware that it will not protect your skin either. You MUST wear a sunscreen, or you will get burnt.

People from different walks of life had a rare opportunity to be part of blissful three day yoga and meditation program conducted by Amma-Kuwait, a socio-cultural organization which is part of the global "Embracing the World" initiative. Every participant in this three day program had wonderful experience to share. Many people had pre-registered for this event but there were also on the spot registrations.
Integrated Amrita Meditation (IAM) Technique course was offered for all three days in Kuwait. Located in the north-east corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Kuwait is one of the smallest countries in the world in terms of land area. Kuwait lies between latitudes 28° and 31° N, and longitudes 46° and 49° E. The flat, sandy Arabian Desert covers most of Kuwait. Kuwait is generally low lying, with the highest point being 306 m (1,004 ft) above sea level.It shares borders with Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Kuwait has a petroleum-based economy, petroleum is the main export product. The Kuwaiti dinar is the highest-valued currency unit in the world.
Amma-Kuwait planned the program in such a way that among the three days (including a public holiday and weekend days), one had an option to choose the best suitable date. Some of the members of Amma-Kuwait have been regular practitioners of IAM. After several members had experienced several positive benefits by practicing this technique, they wanted to share this wonderful gift with others as well. As a result of their selfless effort, about 200 people benefitted from this three day program in Kuwait and stay classy. In addition to the IAM, a half day session on Amrita Yoga was also offered.
Every day, the event started with a traditional prayer, followed by a talk on IAM Technique and its purpose. Subsequently, rest of the IAM Technique steps were taught
During these wonderful sessions, Brahmachari Amit (Yoga & Meditation Instructor from Mata Amritanandamayi math), spoke about basic aspects of Yoga and how IAM is so unique in many respects and stands apart from many other techniques and courses being offered all around the globe
After a refreshing tea break and a Q&A session, the rest of the steps were taught.
A unique blend of yogic stretches, breathing exercises and profound visualizations, this wonderful technique comes directly from Sri Mata Amritanandamayi who is known for her deep insight into the mystical and sacred forces of life. Brahmachari Amit also elaborated on various medical benefits of this technique and how one could transform every aspect of one's life by practising the IAM technique. Some playful yet insightful group activities during the three day program, added charm to the whole event.
In year 2000, Amma had visited Kuwait during the month of November. Amma's programmes were hosted by the Indian Embassy. Kuwaitis, Europeans, Americans, and Indians – all came under one roof for their special hug with Amma. It is noteworthy that Amma-Kuwait is also involved in humanitarian activities like Amrita SPARSH[1] and Amrita HASTH. Amrita HASTH is a humanitarian project with the aim of mindfully knitting woolen clothes for distributing free to the needy homeless people in India, to keep them warm during the harsh winter. Amrita SPARSH (Special Needs Awareness Reach out to Support and Heal), a compassionate program to empower our special parents and their special children, who otherwise were forgotten and left to deal with their struggles alone. Amrita SPARSH periodically conducts free hands-on workshops, seminars, talks, counselling sessions and one-on- one intervention with compassion and passion in our hearts.
Feedback from those who attended the 3 day IAM Technique course in Kuwait
I am in fact indebted to Amma-Kuwait team for all their efforts in organizing such a purposeful event which is so apt for everyone, especially adults like me. Our instructor, Amit ji, was so full of energy and positivity, and with his simple and yet eloquent style, he explained the significance of each exercise and benefits of practicing them consistently. I had some glimpse of unique bliss and sense of energy that can be unleashed. Thanks to the instructor, who with his proficient knowledge on different aspects of Yoga added with pinch of humorous notes kept the group lively throughout the course
IAM was a golden opportunity for me. Now I feel that I am able to tap into my inner world of peace and energy. It gave me the strength and capacity to go through my very demanding life schedules. Very simple yet very profound in its effects. We are deeply grateful to Amma for having imparted this knowledge to us irrespective of our worthiness. I feel this IAM technique is fit for people from all walks of life. The organisers have done a wonderful effort of creating a serene setting for conducting this event. We are indebted to Amit ji for having taken the effort to come all the way from India to teach us this wonderful technique.
– Sandhya
Thank you God. My thanks to Swamiji for his time and sharing his time and experience with us. Thanks to all organizers for their support. Today has motivated me to continue doing what I have known, but not been able to do. Thank you Amma for sending us your kindness.
– Josephine
Leading various roles in life – as a mother of two school children, as a creative wife, as an energetic daughter and more over a responsible working woman , both my body and mind were showing symptoms of worries, anxiety and impulsivity for last few years. The need for a better balance of life alarmed me on different situations. But this time when I heard the news of IAM Meditation Technique, I made sure that I participate in it. Amit ji, our Instructor's introductory talk on deeper aspects of Yoga and the necessity of emotional Health to cultivate a positive state of mind was very informative. The whole 5 hour session led me to experience complete Inner peace and contentment.
– Ambili
Excellent effort which will benefit lot of people in Kuwait. Planning to attend refresher sessions also to fine tune the way I am practising the technique.
On a personal note ,starting yoga at the age of 63 (with a few broken bones attached surgically) was an altogether challenging proposition. But Amit ji's words of encouragement and my firm faith in Amma prepared me for this bold venture. I ended up doing all the three days training on empty stomach – a total of eighteen hours of Yoga in 3 days . And to my great surprise I survived this and I was very happy that I took the plunge.

Simpsons fashion line is worth nearly $1 billion
on Monday,December 13,2010 21:12
Many celebrities try their hand at fashion designing, but few find long-term success. Pop star Jessica Simpson is one exception to the rule, and her brand name is coming close to reaching $1 billion in value, according to CNN.
The singer made $750 million in retail sales this year through her everyday lifestyle line, which has grown in popularity among working professionals and stay-at-home moms alike. Women's Wear Daily (WWD) says that Simpson's decision to branch out into designing jewelry, fragrances and shoes has also helped her company grow into a profitable empire.
"People like her," founder and CEO of Camuto Group, Vince Camuto, told WWD. "People look at her as an icon."
Simpson has plans to continue to expand in the near future. She is already working on designs for a sportswear line, which includes jackets, woven knits and bottoms for the modern woman. The products will be available at approximately 650 retailers across the U.S. and Canada in 2011.
Employment in fashion design is only predicted to grow by 1 percent over the next eight years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, wholesale retailers are expected to see an increase in revenue, which may be an area of interest for aspiring designers.

Based on all those information you provide, the tool recommends a portfolio that includes a variety of investments. These instruments can be a good starting point for emerging investors, but they can also be restrictive as they derive their portfolio recommendations from the same ETF indices.

5 Ways to Make an Awesome First Impression on Home Buyers
Studies have shown that people make up their minds about other people within the first few seconds of meeting them.
It should then be very clear to homeowners that the way they present their houses will leave a longing impression with potential buyers.
More and more buyers are making hastier decisions rather than spending time and researching the decision they want to make and this is why positive first impressions are now more powerful than ever.
So, unless you want your potential buyers to hop into their cars and scurry away, here are a few tips you might want to follow:
#1 – Focus on curb appeal
You wouldn't wear an old shirt with a grease stain on your first date – you would want to look your absolute best.
Why would you approach the selling process any differently?
Your home's first impression always starts with the exterior as this is the first side of the house that people will see. If the first thing people are going to see is peeling paint and broken windows, chances are good that they won't be quite as keen on buying it.
Remove debris from the garden and flowerbeds, fix the windows or gutters that are falling apart, replace the mailbox or house number if it is starting to rust and give the front door a fresh coat of paint.
And a few flowers in the front yard won't hurt either!
#2 – 'Break up' with your old house
If you have decided to sell your house, it shows that you have decided to start fresh in a new place.
You can't have the baggage of a previous property hanging over your shoulder and you definitely can't still cling onto the home when buyers have a look at it.
In other words, you need to distance yourself from your property before you can sell it.
Once you put your home on the market, you need to let a professional come in and take over the marketing.
After all, emotional attachment can make this process longer and harder than necessary.
#3 – Ditch as much of your stuff as possible
Decluttering is now your first priority after taking care of the outside.
People want to see themselves living there and they won't be able to do that with your knickknacks in the way. Get rid of any personal mail, kids' drawings, and photos.
All personal signs of you should be gone, but you should also find a way to avoid making the home look 'sterile' and empty.
#4 – Plan a small makeover that packs a punch
You might not be able to do major renovations before moving, but there are a few things that you can do to spruce up the place a bit.
If you focus your attention on the kitchen, the bathroom, and the flooring, it can already make a huge difference.
Homeowners can easily change countertops, but you might want to re-stain the floors and repaint the walls.
And, if you are keeping the carpets, get a professional carpet cleaner to come out and deep clean those bad boys properly.
#5 – Fix all the broken stuff
This cannot be emphasized enough and it will really take up a few hours of your time (if that much):
You might have gotten used to the lightbulb in the living room not working, but buyers will definitely pick up on that!
Check for leaks around the house – it suggests lousy maintenance elsewhere, even though it might not seem like such a big deal in itself.
Repair anything that squeaks or jiggles like door handles. Caulk around tubs and sinks and replace all the light bulbs that don't work.
By sticking to this list, your potential home buyers will want to stay there at first sight!

Brady announces partnership with UGG Australia
on Thursday,December 09,2010 20:12
A fashion designing company may generate a large amount of revenue marketing toward one gender, but consistent success may evoke them to reach out to other target audiences. Recently, the Deckers Outdoor Corporation announced that National Football League quarterback, Tom Brady, has agreed to a contract to market footwear to men.
Specifically, the company has recruited the former Super Bowl winner to advertise UGG Australia footwear beginning in fall 2011. Although UGG Australia is renowned for its sheepskin boots, it manufactures a wide range of high-fashion pieces for the outdoors.
"I have worn and loved the UGG brand for a long time," said Brady."This collaboration gives me an opportunity to work with a leading global brand with a great history and a true vision for the future of its men's collection. It's an exciting time to be part of the UGG Australia team."
Brady will be the first athlete to endorse UGG Australia products. He is slated to have a say in future designs throughout his contract as well. The football star's choice to design fashion may inspire others to enter the field as well.
Employment in fashion design is only predicted to rise 1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, wholesale retailers are expected to see an increase in business.
