Which comes first? – being Loving or being lovable? Do we have to love ourselves and see ourselves as lovable before we are able to love others?
And what does "loving" ourselves mean in this context? Is it a feeling of warm unconditional positive regard for ourselves? And if so, is that feeling based on anything tangible and real? Is it based on something that we've done? Or is it just a feeling that we have to talk and think ourselves into feeling?—And then once we have this feeling we will have enough energy and motivation to start loving others? Is it a feeling that everyone on earth deserves just because they're human and they're alive and unique?—and so everyone should feel warm in regards to themselves not matter what they've done or what's happened to them in the past?
Or does loving ourselves mean something different that a feeling, primarily?—Does it first mean learning to parent ourselves in a healthy and nurturing and principled way—learning to encourage ourselves, forgive ourselves, talk nicely and fairly to ourselves, as well as learning to be more understanding of ourselves and others, as well as acting in a more principled and truly conscientious way—delaying gratification, seeing what we're sowing in ourselves and in others with our words and deeds, acting in ways that create honesty, trust, warmth, tenderness, goodness, kindness, tenderness, self-awareness, and even more conscientiousness? Does it mean all of this first, and then once we start doing this, we will then also start to feel good about ourselves in a very stable and lasting way (we will feel lovable)?
What makes a person "lovable"? What is the appropriate measure or standard to use to determine a person's "lovableness" or love-worthiness? Or are we all intrinsically loveable and worthy of love? And if so, according to who?—Ourselves? God? Our parents? Some new age authors or psychologists or spiritual people? Is the criteria different for a child than an adult? Is the criteria different when we're children than when we're adults?
What does it mean to be lovable? Does it mean to be "desirable" or "wanted"? Does the question have any relation to the question: what does it mean to be love able—able to love and be loved?
If we are deceitful and we lie, does that make us more or less lovable?—And in our own estimation or others' or "God's"?
Maybe we are deceitful and we lie because we need more love, because deep down we don't consider ourselves to be worthy of being loved by another. Perhaps our parents didn't love us, and so deep down we go around secretly sensing and believing that we're unlovable, that there's something "wrong" with us. Maybe there wasn't anything wrong with us—instead there was something wrong with our parents; but perhaps because we received the message so many times that we're "worthless" or not "wanted" we have, over the years, fallen into the habit of acting out on those feelings and so we have developed habits of acting out in unloving ways—being hateful, hurtful, selfish, petty, not giving, sowing distrust, et cetera. Perhaps we don't know how to love ourselves, so we lie and deceive ourselves and others—in other words, we act in ways that drive others away, that make us untrustable. Clearly it would be tempting to say that such a person needs to be loved, needs more healthy love, needs to learn how to love oneself; and maybe all of that is indeed true.
Is being loved the same as being validated? Is it the same as being "affirmed" of our basic value as a human being? Is it being listened to and shown unconditional positive regard? Does being loved mean being shown affection, understanding, tenderness, forgiveness, leeway, et cetera, because of our upbringing and our parent's errors?
When does a huge part of the criteria for finding ourselves lovable become actually behaving in loving ways towards ourself and towards others—in ways that are patient, kind, slow to anger, full of understanding, appreciation, graciousness, gratefulness, courage, honesty, integrity, goodness, warmth, tenderness, forbearing, forgiveness?
When does the quest of learning to love oneself cease to be about more navel-gazing and start to be about something much more than just the self and produce some real fruit? When does it start to be about acting in ways that are truly loving, giving, appreciative, understanding, compassionate, that sow good things—trust, honesty, kindness, compassion, understanding?
Just some questions that I had on my mind this morning . . . .

The Loire Valle was once the stomping ground of French kings and the cradle of French royalty. Their elaborate French castles each have a different story to tell.
I finally had my dream holiday in France – I explored the Loire Valley and visited the best chateaux of the area. It was a very active holiday: I spent eight days in what can be called the 'valley of kings', drove 2,250km and visited 14 castles of the Loire Valley – alongside one of the best French zoos nearby, the Beauval Zoo. I also stopped to explore some Les Beaux Villages de France and now I can highly recommend a trip to the Loire Valley in France. Some advice is that you need to focus on which top French castles you want to see as there are too many. To help you out, I have prepared a list of the best 10 royal French castles of the Loire Valley which I personally recommend.
The best 10 royal French castles of the Loire Valley
1. Château de Cheverny
Château de Cheverny is a beautiful representation of classic style, which is a bit different to the other castles of Loire Valley. The interesting fact is that it was built without any interruptions and it shows in its unity. Another difference to other castles is that it was built from a local white stone that actually gets stronger and more robust with time, and its creamy colour looks beautiful. The castle was famous for its tradition of dog hunting and nowadays there are more than 70 dogs at the castle which tourists can admire; they are fed at 5pm each day.
Another claim to fame is the Cheverny castle's reference to the Belgian comic book Tintin. Its author Hergé used Cheverny as an inspiration to create his 'Château de Moulinsart'.
2. Château de Chambord
Château de Chambord is an enormous, stunning castle of Renaissance style, which is typically the number one French Chateau among visitors. It was a castle of many kings: François I spent a fortune to build his dream castle, after which it became home to Henri II (his son), Louis XIII, Gaston d'Orléans, Louis XV, his step-father, and the former king of Poland Stanislas Leszczynski. In 1809, the Emperor Napoléon gave it to Marshal Berthier and in 1821 it was sold to the Duke of Bordeaux. In the late 19th century the Duke of Parma inherited it and in 1932 the French government bought the Chateau and restored its original appearance.
It is now a National Historical Monument, and since 1981 it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. People believe the castle was designed by Leonardo da Vinci, although definitely the famous double staircase (helix staircase) was created by him. Chateau de Chambord has 440 rooms, 335 fireplaces, 12 staircases and 70 main stairsare laid out over an area of 200,000 sq ft.
On top of this amazing castle, there is 32km wall around the huge park which covers 440 hectares. It is national hunting reserve, which is open and free to all.
3. Château de Brissac
Château de Brissac is actually inhabited by its owners, so this added a lot of charm to the castle for me. René de Cossé, first Lord of Brissac, bought it in 1502 and today the 13th Duke of Brissac lives there with his family. There is a guide who will give you a tour because you cannot visit the castle on your own. It is small but tall castle, knowns as 'The Giant of the Loire Valley'. It is beautifully preserved and rich in decor. The castle has 204 rooms, impressive ceilings, precious furniture and a ravishing theatre Belle Époque, dedicated to opera.
It has small chapel and hidden rooms which we also visited, plus a stable and horses. It is famous for wine production and has vineyards, and has a relaxing and calming atmosphere.
4. Château de Usse
Château de Usse is located in the small town of Rigny-Ussé of the Indre-et-Loire département. It has a romantic appeal and is said to be the castle of Disney's Aurora princess in Sleeping Beauty. There is a tower in which you see an exposition on the Sleeping Beauty story – a cool activity for kids indeed but I also enjoyed it. The Château of Ussé was built in stages between the 15th and 17th centuries, and incorporates late Gothic and Renaissance features.
In 1885 the Comte de Blacas inherited it from his aunt – the Comtesse de la Rochejaquelein – and today it belongs to his descendent Casimir de Blacas d' Aulps, the 7th Duke of Blacas. It is privately owned but in 1942 it was appointed as a historical monument.
5. Château de Chenonceau
Château de Chenonceau is another must-see, beautiful castle. King Charles VII built it in 1513 and then gave it to Henry II, who passed it to his mistress Diane de Poitiers. But once the king died, his wife, Catherine de Médicis, forced the mistress to move to Chaumont and took this castle for herself. It's famous for having a woman's touch.
The ladies created beautiful gardens; there are two gardens, equally worth seeing. The most stunning thing for me was seeing the chateau's reflection in the river that surrounds the castle.
6. Château de Villandry
Château de Villandry is famous for its spectacular Renaissance gardens. Building began in the 12th century and the castle was finally finished in 1536. It was Jean Le Breton, Minister to François I, who built the castle. The amazing Renaissance gardens show typical French-style formal landscaping. They were first created in the 16th century and now cover huge area of 5ha.
To the left of the castle, you can see its ornamental gardens, with the 'Garden of Love'. It is also worth visiting the water garden for its peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
7. Château de Valencay
Château de Valencay was built by King Louis XIII but it was the d'Estampes and Talleyrand-Périgord families who lived there. Château de Valencay shows an architectural harmony in its combination of renaissance and classical styles. There is an interesting collection of Louis XVI and empire-style furniture displayed in the ceremonial rooms and private apartment. Due to its luxurious decor, it is said to be the richest among other castles. On top of that, the castle has many gardens: the French gardens, the flower chessboard, the Duchess garden, plus a huge park in which I happened to get lost (it has more more than 53ha).
My final experience was intereseting. I wanted to finish my tour in Napoleon's maze (Grand Labyrinthe) – who doesn't dream of seeing the maze they can watch in the movies? But I would never have expected that the maze walls were woody, and I got a bit scared as there was a heatwave, it was difficult to finish and I couldn't
get out! But I managed to complete it and got the photo of the maze as a reward. It was amazing but make sure you have water and time to finish it.
8. Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire
Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire is a fortress-like castle situated in the Loir-et-Cher department, on the left bank of the river. It is very old yet beautifully preserved. It was founded in the year 1000 and in 1465 King Louis XI rebuilt it. It was later owned by the Amboise family for more than 500 years. This is also the chateau that was bought by Catherine de Medici for Diane de Poitiers in exchange for Chenonceau. She stayed there for some time, then in 1875 Princess Marie-Charlotte de Broglie bought the château and decorated it with Renaissance furniture.
Nowadays it is owned by the Centre-Val de Loire Region and it has been listed as a UNESCO site. The château represents Gothic and Renaissance styles, with beautiful English-style gardens. Each year the International Garden Festival is hosted next to the castle. The event started in 1992 and has become known worldwide since then.
9. Château de Azay-le-Rideau
Château de Azay-le-Rideau was mostly under renovation when I visited, although the price was discounted. It was disappointing that only one side of the castle was without work.
But it is still a beautiful castle, built by a wealthy financier, Gilles BertheloIt in the 16th century, during the reign of François I. The design of this castle was greatly influenced by Italian architecture.
10. Château de Breze
Château de Breze is a small yet elegant castle located in Brézé town, near Saumur. It is fairly old, built around the 11th century, and was reconstructed between the 16th and 19th centuries. Nowadays it is privately owned and belongs to the Colbert family who lives there. In 2000 it was listed as a historic monument and opened to the public. The current structure is Renaissance in style but represents also medieval elements and the rarest examples of neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance architecture.
The Château of Brézé has an amazing underground fortress to discover. This impressive world of rock opens out onto one of the deepest (18m) dry moats in Europe. Another of the castle's highlights is definitely the Renaissance wing where the Marquis de Dreux-Brézé lived. The Chateau de Breze is famous for its wine production and has more than 30ha of vineyards.
So there are my top 10 castles, although there are many more to explore. Each castle is beautiful and represents a different story, so whichever castle you choose to visit, you will enjoy it. What other castles do you recommend?

Remember that little sales competition between Kanye West and J. Cole? Well it's not over yet. Yeezus falls to Born Sinner as "Blurred Lines" continues to dominate the singles chart as SoundScanner investigates:
KANYE VS. J. COLE, ROUND 3: In its third week on the charts, J. Cole's Born Sinner slides up one spot to No. 1, earning the North Carolina rapper his second No. 1 album. He did so with 58,000 sales, the weakest sales frames for a No. 1 album in nearly a year. But more significantly, Sinner pushes past Kanye West's Yeezus (No. 3 this week) in overall sales, with a three-week total of 439,000 to Yeezus' 431,000. Both titles were released June 18 on what was dubbed Super Tuesday for hip-hop, with Mac Miller's Watching Movies with the Sound Off also in the mix. (Miller's album is No. 23 on this week's chart and has sold 138,000 copies to date.) Yeezus won the initial battle but J. Cole has had better staying power, even though his No. 1 reign will be short-lived due to the pending arrival of his mentor Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail. Still, Cole deserves credit for his feat. Clap for him. (To watch J. Cole's performance at last week's VH1 PhillyJam, head to the 1 hour and 10 minute mark of the video above!)
"BLURRED LINES" HOLDS NO. 1: Over on the Digital Songs chart, Robin Thicke continues his hold on No. 1, as his "Blurred Lines" (featuring T.I. and Pharrell) shows no signs of slowing and adds another 423,000 sales to its sales total. That's still more than double the week's second place finisher, Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," and it makes Thicke's bid for Song of the Summer that much harder to deny. "Blurred Lines" has sold 2.8 million copies so far, and is poised to cross the 3 million sales mark this week. Remember Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," which everyone thought was going to steal the Song of the Summer crown? It's at No. 5 this week, with 1.8 million sales in the bag. Is anyone going to step up to challenge #THICKE?
KID ROCK CLIMBS: Kid Rock's 2012 album Rebel Soul crossed the gold sales marker last month, seven months after its release – a slow starter by Rock's standards. Last week, the self-styled Son of Detroit launched his "$20 Best Night Ever" tour – bolstered by $20 tickets and slashed prices on beer and merch – and watched the album shoot up 116 spots to land at No. 80 on this week's chart. Rock, ever the sly marketer, is using Shriners to sell his CD at his shows, and he recently told Howard Stern he nets more than 1,000 sales per night on tour via his red-capped friends. Rebel Soul sold 4,300 copies this week, a 149 percent boom from the week prior – the biggest increase for any album in the Top 100 – to bring its total to 510,000. Shrine on!
JOE MAKES A TOP 10 DEBUT: In an extremely slow sales week, R&B holdover Joe scores the week's top debut with Doubleback: Evolution of R&B, the singer's tenth studio album. The album, which features guest turns from Fantasia and Too $hort, sold 31,000 copies its first week in stores, which is close to the 33,000 debut of his last effort, 2011's The Good, the Bad and the Sexy. Elsewhere in the top 10, Wale's The Gifted drops one spot to No. 2 while Imagine Dragons' Night Visions, which is two months shy of its first birthday, climbs up four spots to No. 4 and brings its total sales to 1.14 million. (SEE ALSO: INTERVIEW: R&B Veteran Joe Shares His Message Of Love)
UNCLE CHARLIE GETS A BET BOOST: Last week's awesome tribute to Charlie Wilson on the BET Awards – did you see it? Seriously it was so awesome – helped the former Gap Band singer's latest solo effort, Love, Charlie, bounce up 89 spots to No. 89. The album, released in January, debuted at No. 4 with 44,000 first week sales. This week it sold 4,000 copies, up from 2,200 the week before, bringing its total sales to 156,000. (For good measure, Wilson also contributes to the week's No. 3 album; his vocals are heard on "Bound 2," the closing track to Kanye West's Yeezus.)

Call us today for an appointment!
Vaccine Clinic
We are suspending our Vaccine Clinics until further notice
During a vaccine clinic, a Veterinarian is on site to perform a brief exam on your pet in the back treatment area to make sure he/she is healthy enough to receive vaccines. Once that is determined we will vaccinate your pet with whatever vaccines you choose to have your pet updated on and you only pay for the services you choose, there is no office visit charge.
Due to the high volume of these clinics, the veterinarian is not available for consultations or any questions an owner may have. We ask that you schedule a regular exam if you have any questions or concerns with your pet.
You will receive a print out of your pet's vaccines including a Rabies Certificate (if that vaccine is given) that we will keep on file in case you need the information at a later date.
We only offer these clinics to patients that are non-aggressive. Again, due to the high volume we do not have the staff to assist in restraining an uncooperative patient. Also, if your pet has ever had a vaccine reaction we advise you to schedule a regular appointment for your pet's vaccines.
Please print out the Vaccine Clinic form below and bring it with you to your appointment.

Due to five interest rate increases in the past year, interest rates on mortgages and personal loans are extremely high. According to Karen Beavis of MoneyExtra.com, 3% of loan customers have missed a payment in the last six months, which comes out to 7,716 missed payments each day. This is an increase of an entire percent over 2006.
Even though accidently missing a payment does show up in your credit report, most lenders will recognize a single missed payment as a mere slip up on your part, and they will overlook it when considering you for a loan. However, if you have regular missed payments on your credit report, this is a good indicator to prospective lenders that you will miss a payment if they lend to you as well. Many lenders may choose not to lend to you because of your high associated risk. Other lenders may choose to lend to you, but they'll only do so if they charge you a higher interest rate than they would for someone without missed payments.
Missed payments remaining on your credit report for up to 36 months, but CCJs, arrears, and bankruptcy remain on your report for up to six years. Most lenders will overlook you if you have got bankruptcy or arrears in your financial past, but there are some lenders, called sub prime lenders, that will work with you even if you've got a CCJ on your record.
On the other hand, if you have gotten a clean repayment history, no history of CCJs, and if you have gotten a controllable amount of debt in your credit report, lenders will be much more likely to want to lend to you. Not only will they want to lend to you, but they will probably give you an interest rate that is right on point with the market rate.
Lenders will not only look at your credit report when deciding whether or not to lend to you. Here are a couple of other things to keep in mind:
- In addition to your credit report, creditors will also look at the person you have got joint accounts with or the person you have gotten a shared mortgage with. If this person does not have a clean credit history, this will reflect on you, and it may hurt your chances of being approved for a loan.
- The size of your loan will have an affect on whether or not a borrower will want to lend to you. The more debt you have, the higher the risk you are to lenders, so if you've already got a large amount of outstanding debt, creditors will be less likely to lend to you.
- The number of loans you apply for has an affect on how lenders see you. Each time you apply for a loan, a note is made on your credit report. If you apply for a large number of loans, lenders may see this as desperate, and they may take it as a sign that you will not have the money to repay the loan if they choose to lend to you.
Let us conclude not by focusing on what will happen if you miss a payment, but instead, let us focus on how to avoid missing a payment in the first place. Here are a couple suggestions:
- Set up direct debit from your bank account to pay your loan, credit card, or mortgage payments. This way, you will not have to stress about remembering to make your payments each month, and they will automatically be deducted from your bank account.

The Government Accountability Office has a new report out about patent litigation. The study, which was commissioned as part of the America Invents Act, really features little in the way of useful conclusions or policy suggestions. It ends with a call that the Director of the Patent office "consider examining trends in patent infringement litigation" in order to make the examination process better, and suggests (obviously) that better "patent quality" would be better for everyone.
Of course, the reason the balance of power is so permanently out of whack at the Patent Office is that examiners must approve or deny patents after less than 20 hours of examination. And the Patent Office's expenses aren't paid with tax dollars; they're paid entirely by applicants—the companies and individuals that want more patents, and have no interest in the public or competitors stopping their forthcoming monopolies.

Det var spændende at se modellerne "rigtigt". Flere var fuldstændig anderledes end jeg troede. På den positive eller negative måde. Én, der var præcis som ventet, var "Hvirvelstrøm", som jeg kun kan elske endnu højere og ønske mig endnu mere efter at have fået fortalt, at den skulle hedde "plump" i virkeligheden. Som det perfekte plump, når Bamse og Kylling kaster en stor sten i den runde sø. Fantastisk, ikke?
Saturday on Fanø came with two workshops. I already showed you the results from the first one, and so you are gonna hear a bit about the second. Annette Danielsen talked about her new book: "The art of knitting an island". I never met Annette Danielsen and all her models before, but I would love to do it again! It was so funny and informative.
It was really interesting seeing the models "live". Several were completely different from my imagination. Positively or negatively. The model "Hvirvelstrøm" (a bit like a whirlpool, I guess) was exactly as expected, and it only added to my love and expectations of the model when the designer told how she tried to make the rings in the water, when you throw a very big stone in a round lake. That word (in Danish) couldn't be in the book, though, so the name was changed.
Ude foran holdt fru Danielsens bil. Her forfra. Flot, ikke?
In front of the house was Ms. Danielsens car. Here from the front. Pretty, huh?
But then look at the back of the car! (Man - it's SO COOL!!!!!)
Fanø also came with "The school-mistress' house" in Sønderho. Very nice detail!

The Motorola Xoom has been one of the most talked about Android tablets since the end of 2010. It is the first Android tablet which will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the tablet version of Android. It will be the first serious competitor to the iPad, which is outdated now. Until the launch of the iPad 2, the Motorola Xoom will probably be the best tablet you can buy.
Today, the pricing details of the Motorola Xoom have been revealed, thanks to a leaked Best Buy ad. Just as we predicted earlier, it has been priced at $799.99 which is a bit high, but is comparable to the 3G iPad (32 GB) which is priced at $729. It will be available on Verizon with data plans starting at $20 per month for 1 GB data transfer to $80 per month for 10 GB data transfer.
Until the iPad 2 is launched, the Motorola Xoom will definitely be the best tablet around. However, I would rather wait till the iPad 2 launches, or till more Honeycomb tablets launch; the Xoom pricing should become more sensible then.
The Motorola Xoom is an Android 3.0 tablet which has a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It also has a 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB RAM and comes with a 5 MP camera. It also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity and has 32 GB internal storage.

Professional Athlete Challenges Anti-Medical Cannabis Policies In California
Pro MMA fighter and NORML supporter Toby 'Tigerheart' Grear has challenged the California State Athletic Commission on their prohibition of medical cannabis use by sanctioned competitors.
Toby spoke at this year's national conference on a panel that examined cannabis use among professional athletes.
Every year dozens of professional athletes are arrested or negatively impacted by drug testing rules. This week's example is from Washington where recent National League Cy Young winner, pitcher Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, became one of America's approximately 750,000 annual cannabis possession arrest cases. Little known is that in Washington there is an automatic one day in jail penalty for getting caught with any amount of cannabis.
Next time a prohibitionist from law enforcement, an anti-drug bureaucracy or media pundit claims that 'no one goes to jail for using or possessing cannabis' you can rightly let them know that they're misinformed, as the state of Washington, along with numerous other state and county governments, routinely incarcerate cannabis consumers caught on little more than personal possession charges. President Bush's drug czar, John Walters, claimed that no gets arrested or goes to jail for cannabis. That such is as rare as unicorns.
However, Mr. Lincecum apparently has already copped a plea that will allow him to skip the one day incarceration. Lucky him!
Will a cannabis consumer and accomplished professional athlete like Tim Lincecum step up like Toby, Mark and Rob have? The reform of cannabis laws is certainly made easier when accomplished, professional athletes step to the fore with their self-interested advocacy.

"Will a cannabis consumer and accomplished professional athlete like Tim Lincecum step up like Toby, Mark and Rob have? "
Or will he be a obedient little dog like Phelps?
Unfortunately, a Pro MMA fighter doesn't hold as much weight compared to other pro athletes. If the image for marijuana reform is professional face bashing what does that look like on capitol hill.
Someone help me understand…My current understanding of the Controlled Substances Act allows for law enforcement to go after Cannibus users with the idea that "Possesors of Cannibus" cause a threat to "PUBLIC SAFETY". BUT how can any ONE INDIVIDUAL be threatening public safety simply by POSSESING Cannibus??? I see how it can be applied by prohibitionists against distributors to an (arguably) uninformed person not knowing fully what they are getting… Meaning as a Privat Citizen,if you posses Cannibus with NO intent of Distributing, it seems that one MIGHT (Arguably) have a PRIVATE SAFETY RISK but not a PUBLIC SAFETY RISK as addressed by the CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT. How can the constitutionality of the Controlled Substances Act (and subsequent legislative penalties) be brought to question "As Applied" to "Personal Possesion"??? Anybody…..
Great effort on Toby's part. One rhetorical question would be, did the commission listen to him? I realize they heard him however, did they listen?
It's obvious we need to keep pounding away at this.

"The reform of cannabis laws is certainly made easier when accomplished, professional athletes step to the fore with their self-interested advocacy."
Good call, and hopefully the pro athletes will stop being in alcohol campaigns as well. Thanks for your work, I really appreciate the change you guys helping to make.
If so many athletes and stars are regular cannabis users, why don't we see more of them in support of NORML?
……….and what would happen if he was stopped with an unopened fifth of whiskey and a bottle of sleeping pills put out by the Pharmaceutical Companies…….. ………….NOTHING , that's what ! Yet these drugs kill more people and cause more traffic fatalities than all drugs combined .Although it doesn't appear to be the case in this particular incident Marijuana unlike Alcohol can also be a deterrent to aggressive driving .
I am in no way encouraging driving while using
Marijuana since the use of Cannabis often effects
a user or drivers differently .
Final note ;
Seems the best and most talented professionals of the World use Marijuana . People like , Michael Jackson and Michael Phelps to name a few .

United States District Court, D. South Dakota
November 17, 2014
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.LUIS OLIVARES, Defendant.
JEFFREY L. VIKEN, Chief District Judge.
Defendant Luis Olivares filed a motion asking the court to compel the government to disclose "the recordings of co-defendant's during interviews and the substance of plea agreements and cooperation agreements, " "the cell phone records of Brian Walker and Precious Bartlett, " the "IC Solutions Videos from the jail visits of [c]o-[d]efendants" and "the fingerprints found on the drug packages which have been previously determined not to be those of the [d]efendant... [and a] request[] that the fingerprints be run against those of Brian Walker... [and] turned over to the [d]efendant." (Docket 1020 at pp.1-2).
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A), the court referred this motion to Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy for resolution. (Docket 1021). The magistrate judge issued an order denying Mr. Olivares' motion to compel in its entirety. (Docket 1041). Mr. Olivares timely filed objections to this order, seeking reconsideration of the magistrate judge's decision. (Docket 1043). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A), this court may only reconsider a pretrial matter under subparagraph (A) where it has been shown that the magistrate judge's order is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); see also Ferguson v. United States, 484 F.3d 1068, 1076 (8th Cir. 2007). In her order of September 9, 2014, Magistrate Judge Duffy articulated her reasoning for denying the motion to compel and carefully assessed the law and its application to the facts of the case. Considering the entire record, the court concludes Magistrate Judge Duffy's order is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
Mr. Olivares objects to Magistrate Judge Duffy's conclusions as follows:
1. The government has not provided him with all of the recordings of co-defendants' interviews and he should be provided with a catalog of all recordings taken in this case;
2. Mr. Olivares modified his initial request for the cell phone records of Brian Walker and Precious Bartlett. Mr. Olivares requests not only the corporate produced cell phone records but also the text messages, pictures, web-searches and contacts on each of the co-defendants' cell phones;
3. Mr. Olivares modified his initial request for the video recordings of jail visits. Mr. Olivares requests all recordings of any phone call made by any co-defendant or jail visit by the government. Mr. Olivares further requests a catalog of all media, including recordings, pictures, digital information, computer files and any other type of media; and
4. Mr. Olivares modified his initial request that the identity of the fingerprints found on the drug packages be compared against those of Brian Walker. Mr. Olivares now requests the identity of the fingerprints found on the drug packages be compared with those of Brian Walker and Agent Derek Hill.
See Dockets 1020 & 1043.
Because Mr. Olivares objects to Magistrate Judge Duffy's conclusions and seeks to modify the discovery material sought beyond the scope of his original motion, the court treats the modifications as distinct discovery requests. Each objection and modification is examined in turn.
1. Recordings of Co-Defendants' Interviews
Mr. Olivares asserts he has not been provided with all the recordings of co-defendant interviews. (Docket 1043 at p. 1). Mr. Olivares' objection is based on alleged discussions he had with co-defendants located in the Pennington County Jail. Id . Mr. Olivares includes in this request recorded interviews related to "subsequent arrest[s] on violations of the terms of supervised release and recorded debriefs." Id . Mr. Olivares also requests the government provide him with a catalog of all recordings made in this case. Id . In its response to Mr. Olivares' objection, the government asserts that "[t]o [its] knowledge, [Mr. Olivares] has been sent all recorded interviews of both the [d]efendant and codefendants. The United States is taking steps to verify this with law enforcement and will provide the [d]efendant any additional recordings, if they exist." (Docket 1045 at p. 1); see also Docket 1040 at p. 1 (The government asserted it sent defense counsel "all recorded interviews in [its] possession.").
Magistrate Judge Duffy denied Mr. Olivares' discovery request as moot because the government certified it already provided "all such discovery in its possession to Mr. Olivares." (Docket 1041 at p. 3). To date, the government has twice certified it sent Mr. Olivares all of the recorded interviews of both he and the other co-defendants. The government stated it is verifying with law enforcement that Mr. Olivares received all interview recordings to date and will provide Mr. Olivares with any additional recordings it finds. For these reasons, the magistrate judge's conclusion is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Defendant's objection on this basis is overruled.
Defendant's request for a catalog of all recordings of any kind made in this case is unnecessary as defendant has been, or will soon be, provided with the requested recordings. Defendant's request for a ...

How to file a RTI against intelligence and security agency officials
webc posted a question in Ask for RTI SupportHow to file an effective RTI against powerful intelligence and security agency officials who are attacking a harmless single woman engineer daily in Panaji, Goa and elsewhere with the most powerful radiation weapons causing great pain out of hatred, greed and casteism. The harmless woman engineer is in so much pain that she cannot do anything, while the cruel officials attacking her remain anonymous. This has continued for more than 5 years, and these officials are making up completely false stories to justify their human rights abuses on an innocent person, Even the local PI had admitted that the engineer is being tortured in the worst manner. It is worse than human rights abuses by the police as the cruel attacker will remain anonymous. A RTI was filed with the human rights commission in January 2015, no satisfactory reply was obtained as these officials are making up false stories without any proof to justify their crime

rti happenings: CIC directs Labour Department to provide information about security agency license and other details
harinder dhingra posted a topic in RTI in MediaDear Esteemed Members of this August Forum, I had sought information of a security agency which is providing security services in Haryana & Delhi under Section 6(1) of RTI Act 2005. The Company is registered in Delhi. The information sought was: a) Copy of circular/law/instruction which allow the security agency to continue doing business of providing security guards to various establishments without obtaining license and legal position of Security Agency which applied for registration but did not get license. Is it legal for that Security Agency to do business in meantime and if not provide copy of action taken against that Security Agency and also provide the circular which allow these kind of companies employing more than 1000 Security Guards need not to be registered . CPIO replied that information does not pertain to them and ask me to come to Office with Complaint reference number and get the information. This was no information. Filed First Appeal Under Section 19(1) of RTI Act 2005 but there was no response. Aggrieved, filed second appeal under Section 19(3) of RTI Act 2005 before Central Information Commission, Delhi for non furnishing of Information. The Hon'ble CIC heard the matter for an hour or so and directed PIO of Labour Department to provide information on following with in a month: ( Copy of Order enclosed) a.Whether Security agencies, have taken any recognition or license from the Respondent? b.If no, what action has been taken by the Labour Department to check irregularities of any in on contract labour, as per law?? This order of Hon'ble Commission would open a Pandora box of unaddressed issues as most of the Security Agencies in this part of the Country do not take any license and drain away Public Exchequer of Service Tax, Employees Provident Fund, ESIC contribution and other government levies. In addition, Security agencies have free run in flouting labour laws and in process some bad elements sneak in security agencies causing law and order problems. Thank You for your time. Yours Sincerly Harinder Dhingra CIC_SA_A_2014_000970_M_146712.pdf
rti happenings: Maharashtra: Fadnavis urged to provide security to RTI activists
karira posted a topic in RTI in MediaFadnavis urged to provide security to RTI activists MUMBAI: A high-level delegation comprising chief information commissioner Ratnakar Gaikwad and information commissioners D B Deshpande, A K Jain and T F Thekkekara recently called on chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to press their demand for protection to RTI activists. "Targeting of RTI activists is a serious issue in Maharashtra and several were either attacked or murdered in the recent past. On demand, the activists should be given adequate protection on a case-to-case basis on merit. Earlier attacks on activists should be investigated on a war-footing,'' Gaikwad told Fadnavis. Pune-based activist Vijay Kumbhar expressed concern over the spurt in attacks and murders of RTI activists. Out of 20 killed between January 2010 and December 2014, seven were from Maharashtra. "The murders are a serious matter. The BJP-led government will have to draft an action plan for their protection. The government must ensure maximum information is available to the aam admi in a routine course,'' Kumbhar said. Gaikwad said besides the murders and attacks, the delegation told Fadnavis that in the larger public interest, there was urgent need to strengthen the institution of the information commission. "A few posts of information commissioners are lying vacant for long, there is huge pendency. There is also an acute shortage of staff at most commissions,'' Gaikwad said. The delegation urged Fadnavis that state commissions should be equipped with a strong legal wing. Gaikwad said there was an urgent need to implement section 4 of the RTI Act, on proper maintenance of records by public authorities and publication of relevant information of each public authority in all departments. He said non-compliance of crucial orders of the commission was a matter of concern. Read More: Fadnavis urged to provide security to RTI activists - The Times of India

rti happenings: Suicides and fratricides pose bigger threat to soldiers' lives than militants
akhilesh yadav posted a topic in RTI in MediaIt seems cases of suicide and fratricide are posing a bigger threat to the security forces than militants in the country. According to the latest statistics, more security personnel have died in such incidents than in militant attacks since January this year. In response to an RTI filed by Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Societies, a non-governmental organisation, 24 jawans have killed themselves either by suicide or fratricide as compared to 15 killed in encounters with the terrorists across J&K. The security establishment is finding it hard to tackle this menace despite several measures to reduce incidents of suicide and fratricide. As the Valley is heading for normalcy and peace, strategists find the trend alarming.

CIC to visit Tihar, meet War Room Leak accused
sidmis posted a topic in RTI in MediaCIC to visit Tihar, meet War Room Leak accused AS REPORTED by Mohit Sharma, July 07, 2008, Express India New Delhi, July 6 Chief Information Commissioner Wajahad Habibbullah will be visiting the Tihar Jail next week. The reason: Intelligence Bureau's denial to reply a Right To Information (RTI) query by two accused in the Navy War Room Leak case. The two are currently lodged in the jail, having been booked under the Official Secrets Act. According to sources in the jail, the matter came to light when the officers — Ravi Shankaran and Vijender Rana — filed the RTI application last month, seeking to know the basis of their arrest and the cases against them. The jail officials said after a month, they received a reply. "The Intelligence Bureau refused to present the documents," an official said. "The applicants were reluctant to accept the reply given by the IB." Following this, the two wrote to Habibbullah's office and it was decided last week that the CIC would visit Tihar. Confirming the visit, Habibbullah said: "A visit to Tihar Jail on July 16 is on our schedule. We have two to three matters, including the War Room Leak case pending for hearing. To avoid inconvenience to Tihar authorities in producing them before us, we have decided to pay a visit to the jail." He said the two officers did indeed have queries about the Intelligence Bureau's denial. Tihar sources added that the CIC would be accompanied by a few officials of the Commission. Undertrials Shankaran and Rana are in jail number one. They, along with three other defence officers, were charged under the Officials Secret Act for allegedly entering into a conspiracy and "compromising" about 7,000 pages of defence information. The documents from the Naval war room and air defence headquarters had a direct bearing on national security. The CBI registered the case on March 20, 2006, following a reference from the Defence Ministry and a scrutiny of an inquiry conducted by the Indian Air Force.

RTI: Security cover info denied
sidmis posted a topic in RTI in MediaRTI: Security cover info denied AS Reported in http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com 13 Jun 2008, CHANDIGARH: The concern for "security" and utilization of public money forced a Panchkula resident to move an application under the Right to Information Act seeking details regarding deployment of Punjab cops on VIP security duties. He also wanted to know the reasons for providing security cover to "significant" persons, daily expenditure incurred on such security and more importantly who was bearing the cost. Shakti Paul Sharma, the appellant, added that he didn't intend to know the details of security cover given to CM, governor, cabinet ministers, judges, government buildings, state-owned buildings etc. Despite this, the authorities concerned replied that as per a government notification, the RTI Act did not apply to their security wing. Following this, Sharma's lawyer Sapan Dhir moved second appeal and chief information commissioner, Punjab, has fixed the case for July 9. The application raised significant queries regarding the number of police personnel deputed on security duties and names and designations of the officers on whose orders the cover was provided. Also, posers were taken up on the names and status enjoyed by the people to whom security cover was given. Moreover, the RTI plea also focused on the reason for providing security and total expenses incurred till date. The experts point out that though under the Article 21 of the Constitution it was the state's duty to protect its citizens along with maintaining law and order by providing security cover to a person, who is having threat to his life, however, it could not be claimed to flaunt it as a status symbol. The threat to life should be real. Even if the security was provided immediately on demand, authorities are entitled to inquire into the correctness of facts stated by the person seeking security cover. The aim to file this application was that on public money is being spent on the such security covers provided by the state government," said Dhir.

Punjab sleeps over security dues by PCA
Atul Patankar posted a topic in RTI in MediaAs reported by Gautam Dheer at expressindia.com on 22December 2008 Chandigarh An estimated Rs 150 crore of public money spent every year on guarding Punjab's VIPs notwithstanding, the state government's largesse to provide security "free of cost" to the cash-rich Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) for cricket matches has now almost become a norm. The government is yet to recover the crores it has spent on providing security at the venue for various international matches. The PCA, hosting the second Test match between India and England from Friday, has been turned into a fortress again, with hundreds of Punjab policemen guarding it. According to documents obtained under the Right to Information Act, the PCA has since 1996 not paid any money to the state government for security at the stadium. The PCA has Rs 1.5 crore due towards the government. In at least six international cricket matches held at the stadium, no bill was not raised. For other matches, where bills were presented to the PCA, the recovery of money seems a distant dream. Under the Punjab Police Rules on the deployment of police force, the government is supposed to realise the payment in advance against security provided to corporate bodies or commercial establishments. The PCA has also not cleared bills for the Twenty-20 IPL cricket matches held this year. In May, the Mohali SSP raised a bill of over Rs 1.88 crore for the seven matches held between Kings XI and other clubs, but to no avail. The Pakistan-New Zealand match in 1997, India-Bangladesh in 1998, Star Nite match in November 1998, India-Sri Lanka, Pakistan-India matches in 1999 and the India-New Zealand match in October 1999 were events where the government did not bother to foot any security bill to the PCA, according to the documents. The Punjab Police have fixed the scale of charges on the basis of which the cost is to be recovered. While posting an inspector on security duty for five hours or per night of four hours costs Rs 1,700 per day, a constable would cost Rs 600 for a similar arrangement. While top officials in the state government did not throw any light on the issue, PCA officials could not be contacted for comments. Source : Punjab sleeps over security dues by PCA - Express India

vinay4299 posted a topic in Off TopicDear friends, I have just joined RTI India. Those of you have been following the recent articles by Veerappa Moily, A Suyra Prakash etc that have been posted may have read about me. I am a retired Army officer, who served in RAW for about 31/2 years. Last year I wrote a book titled INDIA'S EXTERNAL INTELLIGENCE - SECRET OF RESEARCH & ANALYSIS WING (RAW) in which I pointed out several anomalies such as lack of transparency and accountability, corruption, indiscipline and so on. For my efforts, I am being prosecuted under the infamous Official Secrets Act, 1923. So much for the brief introduction. I will soon post a detailed brief giving the latest situation, especially the systematic manner in which the bureaucracy stone walls the use of the RTI Act to obtain 'uncomfortable' information.

Cops play security card against RTI
sidmis posted a topic in RTI in MediaCops play security card against RTI As Reported by SANTOSH K. KIRO, Indian Express Ranchi, June 17: Jharkhand police have refused reply to a Right to Information Act (RTI) application seeking the number of primary and secondary schools occupied by paramilitary forces. Though the state information panel asked the home department to furnish the information on April 28, the police refused to divulge the details as it could "hamper the state's security" and "harm life and property of people". In the reply to the application filed by state general secretary of People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) Shashibhushan Pathak, director-general of police (human rights) Ramlakhan Prasad said: "As the information is related to the life and property of the common masses, disclosure of the information is exempted under section 8(a) and section 8(g) of the RTI." The sections state that information affecting the sovereignty, security and interests of India or endanger a life can be exempted from the RTI Act. Police spokesperson R.K. Mallick said Pathak was free to appeal. "This is the view of the police headquarters. If the applicant disagrees, he can appeal," said Mallick. But the state information commission is the highest appellate in RTI matters. Paramilitary forces occupy several schools, especially in rural areas, as they have been deployed to fight Naxalites and do not have other place to stay. Though it is common knowledge in a given area where the security personnel are put, the number of schools under occupation is not know. Beside the number of schools, Pathak had also wanted to know which government order allowed the forces to occupy the schools. "I fail to understand how the information I have demanded would hamper the state's security," said Pathak, pointing out that he had only wanted the numbers. The PUCL member said the government was violating the fundamental right to education by stationing paramilitary forces in schools. "As the state has enough funds to tackle Naxalites, it can put up tents for the forces. Why should it take away the space of children in schools?" he asked. Even the Jharkhand State Information Commission has refused to accept the excuse of the police. "The argument of the state police is not acceptable. The police have to provide the information sought," said state information commissioner Gangotri Kujur. Pathak is not accept the explanation of the police as he has come a long way seeking this information. He had filed the application under the RTI Act at the directorate of primary education in April 2007. When he did not get the details, he moved the office of the deputy director of the directorate of primary education in December 2007. When this attempt also failed to bear fruit, Pathak approached the state information commission. Then came the reply from the human resource development department that the occupation of school buildings by paramilitary forces concerns the home department. The state information commission asked the home department to provide Pathak with the information but only got a refusal in reply.

Why do you reject scholars' research proposals? Govt says: can't tell you, security a
karira posted a topic in RTI in MediaThis is strange. As a layman none of the research topics look like affecting "natiuonal security" ! NEW DELHI, APRIL 8 : The Government doesn't want to explain why and how it decides to reject a research proposal by a foreign scholar. Responding to an application filed under the Right to Information Act by The Indian Express — which first exposed how the Government is not only delaying clearances to US research scholars but also forcing some of them to change their subjects — the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry refused to part with any information. Its response, signed by director Anupama Bhatnagar, cited the following as reasons: that this correspondent is "not an affected person" and that giving this information "would affect national security." "...Due to its sensitive nature," she replied, "disclosure of the information sought by you would prejudicially affect the security of India and its strategic/economic interests and might have adverse implications on our relations with foreign states." The Home Ministry was a little more open. It did list the nine research proposals of US Fulbright scholars that the Government rejected "after due consideration of the sensitivity of the research proposals." On the subject of why and how, the Home Ministry, too, declined to give any information other than saying: "(They were declined) after due consideration of the sensitivity of the research proposals." These are the "sensitive" proposals: • Prospects and problems of outsourcing for India's economic growth • Is tourism a win-win for local livelihoods and forest eco-systems in the Central highlands of India • The Imaginary Princess: A Muslim girl's story • Language ideologies in Mumbai schools • India's energy security • Women's struggle for empowerment • Democratization in Kerala • Political Empowerment and Biodiversity in Kerala • Politics of land privatisation and access in Delhi. The Indian Express had highlighted the problem of granting visas to the Fulbright scholars in February this year, where delays ranged between 5 to 21 months. In some cases, the research proposals were rejected and a fresh topic was granted approval. The Government then decided to put a "red channel" and "green channel" in place but no decision has been taken yet.
M S Bitta moves RTI, asks why security removed 2 days before attack
crusader posted a topic in RTI in MediaNew Delhi, November 9: Former Youth Congress leader M S Bitta has written a letter to the Centre seeking information under the RTI Act as to why his security was withdrawn in 1993, two days before a bomb attack on him. The former Punjab minister, who heads the All India Anti-Terrorist Front, has sought the assessment report of the security review committee from the Home Ministry in his case in September 1993. Nine people were killed and several others injured in the bomb attack at Delhi's Raisina Road. "I feel there was some conspiracy behind the sudden issuance of the order of security withdrawal by the Ministry of Home Affairs in my case. ... I feel there had been deliberate attempts to expose me to terrorists,†he said in his letter to the VIP security director in the Ministry. In the letter, he has sought whether the Centre's decision to withdraw security was prompted by some "political pressure†as he "recalled he had faced a deadly attack†in May 1992 in Amritsar. He has also sought information on action taken against agencies involved in security arrangements for former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi before his assassination.

iMusic: Divas By the Dozen
When you think of a music diva, who pops into your head? Mariah Carey? Aretha Franklin? Madonna? Cher? Today's divas might not be who you think they are. Here are some of the best modern divas out there today.
Blue-eyed soul diva ZZ Ward is in possession of some powerful pipes. Coming closest to being Adele's biggest stateside threat, Ward is the complete package. Not only did she write (or co-write) all 13 tunes on her debut disc, Til The Casket Drops (Hollywood), but Ward also sings the heck out of them. The title cut sets the mood, but it's the thumping second number "Put The Gun Down" that blows the lid off the party. What's important here is that Ward demonstrates that she has her own perspective. This comes through clearly on "Cryin Wolf" (which features Kendrick Lamar), the retro ring of "Save My Life," the acoustic "Last Love Song," the stomp and shake of "Move Like U Stole It," and the golden blues of "Charlie Ain't Home."
Sing To The Moon (Columbia) by Laura Mvula is one of those debut albums that announces the arrival of a major talent. Moon rises on the strength of Mvula's marvelous voice, which can be soothing one moment and stirring the next (sometimes in the same song, as in the case of "Like The Morning Dew"). Mvula raises the roof on hand-clapping/foot-stomping gospel of "Green Garden" and then lulls us with comforting "Can't Live Without the World." And so it goes with the retro rhythms of "That's Alright," which is followed by the gorgeous "She" and "I Don't Know What The Weather Will Be." "Diamonds" brings the disc to a shimmering close.
Dedicated to the memory of her late father, Patty Griffin offers a cathartic new collection, American Kid (New West), a heartbreaking song cycle of loss. With a voice that has long been able to reduce even the most stoic among us to tears, Griffin aims for five or more hankies with "Faithful Son," "Highway Song," "That Kind of Lonely," and "Gonna Miss You When You're Gone." Griffin respects the listener enough to provide relief on the drinking song "Get Ready Marie" and the raw "Don't Let Me Die In Florida." A remarkable achievement, American Kid is a vast improvement on the unfortunate misstep of Downtown Church.
Jessie Ware comes from the tradition of blue-eyed British songbirds with '80s flair including Lisa Stansfield, Mari Wilson and Annie Lennox. The wisest move she makes on her excellent debut album Devotion (Cherrytree/Interscope) is to avoid treading on Adele or the late Amy Winehouse. Instead, Ware pays her respects to those who preceded her while putting her own unique spin on the sound. "If You're Never Gonna Move," "Running," "Wildest Moments," and "Something Inside" best illustrate Ware's mad skills as a performer and songwriter. The dance-oriented "Imagine It Was Us" definitely qualifies as a bonus track.
Neon goth goddess Charli XCX co-wrote Icona Pop's inescapable hit single "I Love It," but don't hold that against her. She saved the good stuff for her own debut album, True Romance (IAMSOUND/Atlantic). "Nuclear Seasons" recalls Shona Laing (remember her?), "You (Ha Ha Ha)" incorporates a giddy Gold Panda sample and "Take My Hand" gives Ke$ha a run for her money. Charli XCX gets emotional on "Set Me Free" and it suits her. "So Far Away" goes the distance and "What I Like" is a tasty tease. She waits until the thorny "Black Roses" to strut her dance-floor stuff.
This is not Courtney Jaye's first time at the music rodeo. In the earlier part of the century, Jaye released an album on Island and had a minor hit with the song "Can't Behave." Her latest disc, Love and Forgiveness (courtneyjaye.com) references the pop sound of the 1970s but adds a twist of twang (listen to "Summer Rain") for good measure. Jaye's voice is the selling point here, powerful and pretty, it propels tunes such as "Morning," "Every Time We Say Goodbye," and "Stars and Skies" to wondrous heights.
As the title I Thought About You: A Tribute to Chet Baker (Concord) implies, Brazilian jazz pianist and vocalist Eliane Elias pays homage to the one and only trumpeter and singer, Chet Baker. Snappy and jazzy as you'd expect a set of tunes linked to Baker to be, Elias is nothing if not reverent. The pleasure of the disc is in the nuances Elias uncovers in her interpretations as well as hearing these standards with a subtle Brazilian accent.

I recently started reading a blog by Jeff Goins. This week he has been blogging each day and setting the challenge to slow down. His blog today was all on gratitude. Please check out his blog if you are interested in reading more!
Below are some direct quotes from him, with photos that I took when I visited my local beach! It was a windy, icy day but I was so thankful to be there and it was spectacular!
"One of the curses of living in such a fast-paced society is that we tend to take things for granted. We overlook everyday blessings, oblivious to the fact that life itself is a gift. And if we're not careful, we can find ourselves rushing through each day, less and less grateful, which is no way to live."
"Part of the reason we learn to say "thanks" for the seemingly small things is that it helps us appreciate the "big" things in life when they do come.
And the other reason is that as we learn to appreciate the small, we realize it is all big."
"We learn to stop waiting for tomorrow or a better break and finally embrace where we are, right now. Which hopefully by now we can say is a very good place."
"Be grateful for the moments that slow you down, the ones that cause you to take your time. Use these opportunities to appreciate what you already have and tend to miss. As you do, see how much better life looks, and actually is, when you approach it with gratitude."
