Freddie Spencer will make his first-ever appearance in Canada this weekend. Despite a lifetime racing everything from flat track to grand prix and superbikes all over the world, Spencer has never yet made it to the Great White North.
He will be here this weekend, hosted by the Toronto Motorcycle Spring Show. Spencer won the 1983 and 1985 500cc World Championships aboard Honda's legendary NS and NSR500 motorbikes. In 1985 Spencer did the double – taking the 250cc title as well.
Fast Freddie split his time between the world championship and the AMA Superbike series, and fans of historic superbikes will get to hear the 1982 Honda Factory Works 1024cc Superbike that Spencer rode fire up on both days of the show.
CMG's Jacob Black caught up with the multiple world champion recently to talk about his new autobiography, Feel: My Story, and to find out what's really important to the racing legend.
Freddie Spencer: Travelling the world and talking about motorcycles is a passion, and it's a privilege for me, it really is.
Even though I grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, and flew back and forth and traveled all over the world, I really haven't had an opportunity to visit Canada. I have a lot of Canadian friends, ex-racers like Miguel Duhamel and Steven Crevier, and I have a lot of fans from there so I'm looking forward to coming to Canada and to the Spring Motorcycle show.
Also my book is out now on Kindle, and in a few months you'll be able to buy it in Canada on hardback.
CMG: If you could take your book and there was only one chapter or one section of the book that you could have your two kids read, which section of the book would you say, "this is the one you have to read"?
F.S.: Probably the very, very first chapter. And the reason why is because it kind of sets a tone for the book.
I talk about riding in my yard, and all the things motorcycling gave me the opportunity to do, and I talk about the Nations Grand Prix in Mugello. Being just me in this incredible environment, and I mix everything in because I believe everything is connected in that way.
And that's what I've spent my life striving to kind of understand. More than just racing the motorcycle and the adventure, it's the understanding that came through that — that everything is connected.
The book is about what I believe in. It's not about religion, but it's about faith a little bit.
And then it's also about connecting with others, which is something that is extremely important to me. That goes back to what I was saying before about the privilege and opportunity to share this weekend at the Spring Show and to interact with others. I really love it.
CMG: You talk in the book as well about the importance of connecting with other people, but when you think about motorcycling, it's a very personal experience, being on a bike…
F.S.: Yes, exactly. It's fascinating, because I talk about it as such a personal experience. I talk about what motorcycling gave me. It gave me the opportunity to express myself. I had some trauma when I was a kid and I talk about that in the book, too.
The motorcycle gave me this trust in my own ability to believe in what I could do. And so in turn, throughout my life, it's given me the chance to have insight and awareness.
That's when we truly connect with people. You know, we build up these protective barriers, and it's one reason why people love riding motorcycles. On the bike it's a pure experience: the interaction you have with the bike and the sense, the feeling it gives you.
When you connect with that, and when you connect yourself with that, you can talk about it with others, because once you've gone there, it's easier then to communicate. You share that experience and other people pick up on that and then they share it with you.
CMG: Motorcycles are sort of your doorway out into the world then?
F.S.: Yeah. Exactly. Motorcycles were never just about adrenalin for me. It was always about more. Even when I wasn't really aware of that as a young kid, I knew that the bike gave me an opportunity to do more.
And that's my goal, to really understand that journey. For example, I've talked in the book about my interaction with Mr Honda.
CMG: I read an interview where you were talking about the pace of change in the 1980s and how, at the height of development with oval pistons and fuel tanks under the engine, that bikes were breaking all the time, and some people saw it as a failure. You said it was a necessary step to developing the bike and the process. You said it was "Honda at their best" and I wondered, was that how you saw it at the time, or is that something that you've come to understand and appreciate only now when you look back on that part of your career?
F.S.: It's both. I appreciated it at the time. I understood that to get to a certain point because I'm so practical in that aspect of my thinking.
I remember the first time I saw the bike with the gas tank on the bottom that Monday after Suzuka in September '83.
That was my first time riding the V4 with the gas tank on the bottom – you know, it's fascinating. At the time I only viewed it in terms of "okay, the gas tank is on the bottom, to get the weight lower, and stabilize the movement weight front and back and help with mid-corner speed. Okay". Then you go out and work through it and develop it, but you don't know what's coming next.
Like with the NR500, you don't know that the oval piston is going to go on and lead to the Interceptor and things like that… in that respect, it takes time. You have to be patient, and believe in the process. I believed in the process, even though I didn't understand exactly where it was going.
Now I see it, I see that it was that willingness to try things that led to understanding. That's what Feel is about.
CMG: We've talked about trust and we've talked about feel and we've talked about the belief in yourself and in patience. What's the most important of those virtues as a racer?
F.S.: It's going to take belief, but not arrogance. Belief can't be ego driven because that will affect your judgment and you won't sustain it. The patience to believe in what you're doing, but also the understanding and humility to believe in the process. That's key.
Because riding a motorcycle takes respect.
You can meet Freddie Spencer during autograph sessions at Toronto's Spring Motorcycle Show this weekend. The show is open 10 am-9 pm Saturday, April 7 and 10 am-5 pm Sunday, April 8 at the International Centre in Mississauga, near Pearson International Airport.

She's the obvious choice and has already been working on a script for Wonder Woman 2. But it still took a while for Warners to make it official: Patty Jenkins has signed on the dotted line to helm the Wonder Woman (see our review) sequel.
While Jenkins was always in the frame to return for the sequel, reports suggested that her contract had been a sticking point.
Citing sources, Variety reports that Jenkins is being paid somewhere in the US$8 million region to write, direct and produce the movie. This would make her the highest paid female director of all time.
Even more importantly: a substantial backend of box office grosses is included in the contract. This means that Jenkins will get a percentage of whatever Wonder Woman 2 makes at the box office.

It's results day today. In fact, I had completely forgotten. I woke up this afternoon thinking it was Sunday. That's what happens after you've been through all your results days 😂.
Usually, I try to stay away from what's trending in irl when it comes to this blog. Mainly because I like to write when and as I feel inspired to not because of what's going on in the world right now. But after going through Twitter today, I felt it was time that I broke one of my own rules (again). Of course, there was crazy success stories and positivity on the tl but there were some reoccurring debates, that always tend to happen around this time of the year and it irked me just enough to say it was time to put pen to paper.
• University/Degrees are pointless
I saw a few tweets that were suggesting that going to university is a waste of time and money and energy. That it's something that you shouldn't bother with, that you're not going to achieve anything with it.
Someone said that "degrees mean nothing in this day and age". And with tweets of similar rhetoric, people replied in a similar way, that maybe they had failed their degree or had failed to do something tangible with their degree. It got to a point where it all became increasingly repetitive. And I was getting increasingly irritated.
Whether you decide to go to uni or not, that's your choice. Whether you decide to do something with your degree or not, if you attain one, again that's your choice. Don't let someone else dictate that. We're all on different paths and journeys and we should do what is best for us and what we want to do. Please, do not let strangers control your life or your decisions.
I agree with both sides of the party. I agree to some extent that university degrees may not have that much importance, in the sense that you can do things with your life and excel without having a degree. I do think it is nice to have that back-up, but I don't feel that it is a do or die situation. It's your life, it's your choice. Like I said before, do what's best for you. But don't take the easy way out, and just say no I'm not going to uni, make sure you're taking the route that will be most profitable for you and not in terms of money but in terms of comfortability and willingness.
Someone on Twitter argued to ignore the tweets of Jeremy Clarkson if you're black.
Is it even #ALevelResults day unless Jeremy Clarkson posts about how poor his results were but how rich he is??? pic.twitter.com/dX3SnLX0MH
— Aaron Anthony (@_Aaron_Anthony_) August 18, 2016
That white privilege is not spread on our bread and is not poured in our wine cups. And it's true. We'd be deceiving ourselves if we think we have it the same as the white man. However, that doesn't mean to say you have to go to university. I know I'm getting quite repetitive, but if university is not for you, then don't go down that route. Do what you feel you're comfortable with. Granted, it's harder to be black in this world but have we not made it? Have we not come this far? So, if you want to, take up that degree and if you don't want to then don't.
The key here really is whichever route you go down, if you decide to get a degree or not, don't be passive. In both options, you can garner experiences, acquire different types of knowledge and information and generally propel forward. Maybe it's starting your own business or writing your own book maybe it's becoming a pro YouTuber. The idea is you don't just sit down and do Netflix and chill every day. In both options, you can pursue your passion. No matter what, in life I've found the ultimate is to find out what you love, do what you love and love what you do.
A common question is whether degrees are worth it, whether they are of importance. And everyone will have different stands on this. Degrees make you look pretty on paper, but then so does experience. Some people's passions will mean that they have to study further and some people's dreams will mean that this kind of qualification isn't essential. Knowledge is never wasted. And university is a once in a lifetime experience. I do not feel there is a right or wrong answer, I feel that there is only a decision that you, personally, have to make. Plus, you don't have to go to university now, you can always go later on in life. It's your life, you call the shots.
• Russel Group Unis (RGUs) vs. Non-Russel Group Unis (NRGUs)
I want to keep this one short. It doesn't matter. RGUs give an opportunity for name dropping, if you say "I went to Cambridge" people are going to be automatically impressed and we all know the reasons why. People will turn their nose up at NRGUs, be prepared. And remember, just because you went to a NRGU doesn't equate to your results being rubbish. NRGUs tend to offer a variety of courses and different types of combinations that you don't tend to get at RGUs. Hence, why some people opt for it. At the end of the day, your first or 2:1 will be the same. And the work isn't necessarily going to be easier at one uni than the other. Respect each other regardless. Be nice.
• A Levels and BTEC
I'll be honest here, I was one of the people that argued A Level is superior to BTEC. It would irritate me the fact there BTECers wouldn't do any exams whilst I was inundated with exams and coursework. And then to find out that RGUs will still take them up?! I was mad. And then I found out that BTECers will start off at Foundation Year as opposed to year 1. And it soothed my soul. But then I was just slyly bitter. Now, I will make the same point as before, do what's best for you and what works for you. At the end of the day, BTEC doesn't limit you and a lot of work still goes into it. It's a shame that there are endless stigmas when it comes to education, please don't let this be one to bother you.
• Results and Intelligence
Do not be fooled. Exams aren't a great test of your intelligence but mostly of your memory and your ability of application. Additionally, we're all wired differently and there are different types of intelligence. In year 4, there was a boy in my school that could do all types of mathematic calculations off the top of his head, very quickly. However, English was his weakness. I didn't do any preparation for my English exams but I did a lot of revision for my Maths exams. Meanwhile, there are people out there that do nothing at all and do continuously well. My words to you are, find out what your strengths and weaknesses are and make the relevant improvements and changes to become a better you.
No matter what grades you get on that piece of paper, it doesn't determine your life unless you allow it to. You take what you have, and you work with it. You'll be surprised at the results. My parents always say to give it your best, that no matter what happens you can say you put your all in it and that is a feat in itself.
• Gap Year
These aren't the enemy. If you want to take a year out, then do so. Universities and employers like it if people do, as it tends to add maturity to the individual and you tend to gain more life experiences. So, if you're thinking about taking a year out, do your research, ask yourself why, and once you're satisfied, go ahead and make sure you don't just let the whole year go by without doing nothing at all. Trust me, it will go fast. Be productive and enjoy yourself and relax too.
I think I've pretty much got everything off my chest. I'm probably still going to rant on Snapchat tho. But in the meantime, congratulations to you all. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours, no matter what you choose.

Second-hand electronics and entertainment giant CeX, also known as WeBuy and WeSell, has warned customers of a data breach which has resulted in up to two million account details - including, in some cases, hashed passwords and encrypted credit card details - being swiped by persons unknown.
Founded in 1992 by Robert Dudani and Paul Farrington, CeX started as a single store known as the 'Computer eXchange' situated near London's Tottenham Court Road and offering the ability for people to trade in unwanted computer hardware in exchange for store credit or a lesser amount of cash. Since then the company has branched out into general consumer electronics and entertainment products and boasts 350 UK highstreet stores, 100 international stores, and websites offering post-free trade-ins and online fulfilment.
It's the company's website customers, however, that it is currently in the process of contacting following the discovery of a data breach which has resulted in up to two million account holders' personal information falling into the wrong hands.
'We have recently been subject to an online security breach. We are taking this extremely seriously and wanted to provide you with details of the situation and how it might affect you,' the company told users in an email published to its website. 'We also wanted to reassure you that we are investigating this as a priority and are taking a number of measures to prevent this from happening again.'
According to CeX, data stolen in the breach includes full names, addresses, email addresses, hashed account passwords, and telephone numbers for up to two million customer accounts. In 'a small number of instances,' it further warns, encrypted data from expired credit and debit cards registered with its site up to 2009 may have been included. Cards used after that date are not affected, as the company stopped storing card information locally in 2009.
As always, the advice offered in the wake of the breach is simple: Change your CeX password as well as on any service where you reused the same password and keep an eye out for suspicious emails, telephone calls, or dead-tree letters claiming to be from or to represent CeX. For its part, CeX claims to have 'implemented additional advanced measures of security to prevent this from happening again,' though the company has not provided details.

Planograms for Cultural Commerce
Maybe the words used most frequently when describing planograms are 'specific' and 'detail'. Similar to a road map, a planogram is a drawing or spreadsheet that shows in pre-planned specific detail where fixtures and merchandise are to be placed in a retail store with the overall goal of maximizing revenue. The goal is revenue generation but that doesn't stop the incorporation of margin, turnover and marketing support in determining product locations that will drive incremental sales. Merchandising locations detail type of fixture, fixture location and where on the fixture including which shelf and where on that shelf, and how a product should be placed.
Most often direction is given by larger corporations with multiple locations that want all their stores to be merchandised in a similar highly researched manner. While this does not describe the situation for any cultural institutions, there are still elements of planograms that are valuable for cultural commerce.
The major difference for cultural commerce is the lack of many multiples of stores and the desire to feature products that focus on the collection or special exhibits and events with less consideration given to merchandising based on planogram metrics.
Retailing is a combination of science (statistics) and art (merchandising, display, function, layout, etc.). Planograms focus on both. The turnover, retail price, margin and sales history of products are raw statistics that are used to partially determine where products will be merchandised in the store. Regardless of type and size of store, these factors are incorporated into the planogram.
Key definitions as used in this article include:
Merchandising: The placement of products in the store from which customers make their selections. The vast majority of store space and fixtures are dedicated to merchandising and thus are the primary focus of planograms and the comments and recommendations below.
Displays are vignettes that incorporate multiple products with a common theme to capture the visitor's attention, tell a story, visually suggest incremental add-on purchases and encourage the visitor to linger.
Incremental Sales are purchases beyond what the customer expected to spend, greatly affected by merchandising and display execution.
Using planogram ideas for cultural commerce requires detours from typical planogram applications but many overall principles are the same. A checklist of important considerations include:
- Understand the merchandising needs of your products as they compare to the fixtures you have available or can secure. How are they most attractively merchandised?
- Individual items on shelves
- Stacked vertically on shelves
- Spread out horizontally, front to back and side-to-side, on shelves
- Hanging from hooks, waterfalls, hangers, etc. regardless if on slatwall, grid, tackable surface or other kind of vertical fixture
- Under glass
- On the floor
- In bins
- How much space, based on the number of SKUs and/or product/packaging characteristics does your product selection require?
- How many products, based on the number of SKUs and/or product/packaging characteristics, can your store hold while still being attractively merchandised?
- What about a product should be featured? The beauty of a design on apparel, the underside of an umbrella, an author's name or the title of a book, the detail of an etching, etc.? How can you best merchandise for each type of feature?
- What product categories should be adjacent to other complimentary categories?
- What are the most visible parts of the store and from what angles and foot-traffic patterns especially when the visitor is coming to the end of their visit?
- Planograms often require the merchandising of the highest margin products toward the front of the store to make sure they are seen by every customer, almost regardless of how much time they spend in the store.
- Like milk in the grocery store, merchandise the most popular products toward the sides and back to draw foot traffic throughout the store.
- Merchandising popular products and those with high turnover toward the back, has to be balanced with unique museum store considerations of featuring products from popular and special exhibits, book signings, lectures, etc., toward the front to lure already engaged visitors across the threshold into the store.
- Regardless of location within the store, many planograms call for less popular products to be merchandised at eye level, with better-selling products above or below eye level.
- Make sure more expensive items are merchandised in a manner that enhances their perceived value.
- Books present a special challenge.
- While I'm not aware of any bookstore that plans where every title should be merchandised, museum stores can plan where the book section will be located. Books can be merchandised in the least attractive/accessible part of the store because 'book people' will always find their books, and this area may also be the quietest.
- Plan where each book subject will be within the book section.
- Planning can also be extended to establishing which ancillary products, such as bookends, related plush and bookmarks should be merchandised with which books and/or subjects.
- Can you make discounted books the draw into the book section?
- Where should children's products go so children don't have to traverse the entire store to get to their section? And when they get there, what height and which products best drive sales?
- Plan in advance what will go where when it arrives.
- Make sure all parts of the planogram are driven by what you think will be most attractive to the visitor and showcase the products best, and less by your needs and wants.
Since cultural commerce is often merchandised to tell a story with style and not just in accordance with metrics, a planogram may be generally less effective but is still a very good context within which to make merchandising decisions.

Possibly the most popular question as the year ends for most investors is will the stock market crash in 2014? Investment gurus predict that the odds are in favor for investors this New Year because of so many positive investment predictors. If you have plans to break out of investing in bonds to a more stable and stronger stock market then here are evidences that the stock market has a brighter outlook for the New Year:
The role of the Federal Reserve
The Feds is the brains behind the operation and it dictates the tightening or the loosening of policies over interest rates and so many other things that cover economic activity. It is hinting at zero completion of its QE program whenever soon and has said its choice to begin decreasing depends strictly on the monetary information. The Fed's has last emphasized that housing has really reduced to some degree and about an average of 185,000 new employments have been included in the course of recent months. With premium rates close zero, and the Feds unrealistic to begin decreasing until well into 2014, money markets has no spot to go but higher.
Plunge protection teams
Since the dramatic stock market plunge of 2008, investors have been confident about the stock market and this is mostly because of PPTs or plunge protection teams. These are groups of financial experts that were created to help various sectors of the economy especially during the times of economic troubles. The PPT was originally created to counter the historical 1987 market crash. At present, the PPT is composed of the Secretary of Treasury, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Chairman of the SEC and the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Together they form an alliance that secures investors by preventing any factors that may cause the market to drop severely.
Companies and their preventive policies
Various corporations have their own fundamental policies to protect their own investors from any potential financial harm. Companies now have their resident financial experts, advisers and teams of gurus to protect their most important asset: their investors. Corporate financial experts use indicators in the stock market to determine the strength or the weakness of their brand and therefore make more accurate investment choices through the use of these indicators.
And as far as the past year's profits show, corporations are boasting of stronger earnings which are also clear indicators that a market crash is close to impossible. J.P. Morgan looked at corporate profit development against worldwide buying supervisors' file (PMI) readings. Profit development on the graph lingers behind PMI by four months. As should be obvious, the later upward move in PMI is indicative of amazing profit development soon to take after. This is indicating that we might as well soon encounter a large change in profit in the first quarter of 2014.
All of these positive indicators are indicators of a stable and powerful start of 2014.

Today you will learn about medical coverage plans if you are under the age of 30. These plans vary based on the price and facilities offered, and some of them are designed specifically keeping you in mind.
If you are under the age of 26, then there is an option for you to continue to stay covered under your parent's health insurance plan.
Small Plans
Alternatively, you can buy your own health insurance plan as well which is definitely more recommended any given day. Getting your health insurance coverage plan at the beginning of your career is recommended even if you are making less money. In this case, go for a smaller plan that lies somewhere between $50 and $100.
You may also choose Catastrophic Health Plan that will insure and protect you against certain worst case scenarios. If you are still young and studying, then you can and should go for Student Health Plan instead.
CHIP and MedicAid
Medicaid will allow you to qualify for low cost but quality medical coverage using the Medicaid services. You may also, depending on the state you are living in, qualify for it based on your income. This is recommended if you are or someone in your family is suffering from life situations. A common example where you can go for Medicaid and CHIP is when someone in your family is pregnant or when someone is suffering from physical disability.
CHIP stands for Children's Health Insurance Plan and it comes in handy in case you have children in your house. You can apply for CHIP even if you do not qualify for MedicAid which is good news.
If you do not have a qualifying health coverage plan then you will end up paying a penalty in your next federal tax return, so it is recommended that you get one today.

Tea and Aum
This is now my 6th week in India and it has been a marathon. Since arriving at the Kumbhamela we have walked 6-8 miles each day to and from the campgrounds, and about Haridwar and Rishikesh, practiced Yoga postures and meditated deeply. We have met with many yogis and nagababas, mixed daily with and taken prasaad (blessed food) of water and sugar from the hands of these babas, all the while, mixing with masses of coughing, sneezing devotees. Amazingly, I have stayed healthy.
Two days ago I was sitting with Patrick at lunch discussing the importance of deepest purification to reach the State of Truth and Reality. I said the kind of cleansing that removes all desires, all conditioning, must require a godlike saint on the order of Anandamayi Ma. I said I believe that such a Being is required to move us into the highest realms of Samadhi. Patrick was telling me about his Guru who is described as a divine incarnation and said to be hundreds of years old. His Guru refuses to answer questions regarding his date of birth, but mentions people he has met, suggesting he is several centuries old and an ancient soul.
That night we went to a Kriya Yoga ashram in Haridwar. The cave where Lahiri Mahasaya often meditated is open and people are free to meditate in it. However, meditating anywhere on the ashram grounds feels like a boon, even though it is on a main thoroughfare with constant lorry traffic. It is a place to go to meditate deeply and is part of our lineage.
Returning to the hotel I took a light dinner — a grilled veggie sandwich and lemon ginger tea. An hour or so later I became violently ill. I vomited all night long, had severe abdominal distress and diarrhea.
I am still in bed, two days later, but can at least sit up to type some for my blog.
Throughout the trip a few participants have gotten a throat infection and flu-like symptoms. No one else has complained of digestional tract distress. I am at least happy to have had a deep internal cleansing from the ordeal.
Four students went early this morning to the campground of Pilot Baba and received diksha from him. They were dressed in ochre, given spiritual names, a mantra, touched at various points and given a rudruksha for use when meditation is difficult. They all seemed very happy.
Another group is having a holy bath in the Ganges. From the bath they will go back to the Kriya Yoga campgrounds and start a Homa and begin a 4-hour mantra yagna. A wonderful dinner is planned for them at the campground tent. I may try to walk over and participate in the yagna. Or I may just participate by meditating in my bed.
I hope to be fine by tomorrow and walk over for early morning sadhana. Tomorrow evening we will go to AnandaMayi Ma's ashram for arati, surely Her Divine energy will heal me of any lingering illness. .. I feel dizzy and must sleep.
Morning arrives and I feel cold and begin coughing. I am exhausted. I have not sleep well. Govindan goes onto the camp. I dress and go down to the restaurant for a pot of boiling water and perhaps some porridge. I meet a group of kriyabans downstairs, two are going to Rishikesh until they return home on March 2 and the other four will stay on in Haridwar until then. These lovely people have been here with us since January 13. They rescheduled their return flights, deciding instead to stay on at the Kumbhamela. They are receiving a lot from their experiences here. They know that I have been down with a stomach ailment.
All their faces were bright and shinning; although two of them had also had a day of vomiting and diarrhea and one had not slept in a week. The sleepless-one says that he has been able watch his mind during this time, but has not been able to meditate at all. I fall silent, I communicate with thought and gesture. They are very dear to me.
I have slept little over the past month and now have not eaten in several days. I too do not feel sleepy, nor do I have hunger. I feel introverted and self-contained. Self-contained like a cocoon, protective of myself, careful of what I eat or drink or breathe or draw into myself on all levels. The hotel and the streets are noisy and cooking smells are strongly scented with spices. I find myself longing for the quiet, pure air of home.
I get a pot of boiled water and take it back up two flights of stairs to my room to make some tulasi and lemon tea. I had planned to walk over to the camp, but just the walk upstairs has tired me. I decided to write a bit on my blog before beginning the several miles to the camp.
A few days ago while we were at the Kriya Yoga ashram where Lahiri Mahasaya meditated, we met a long time disciple of Kriya Yoga, a member of the Y.S.S./S.R.F. He gave each of us a rudruksha bead with three faces from the tree in the garden there. In addition he gave Govindan a book written from the writings of the God-intoxicated Saint, Swami Ramatirtha, written in 1905.
Swami Ramatirtha speaks brilliantly, illuminatingly about "finding oneness with the Lord by establishing some sort of relationship with Him, who is indescribable, beyond words, who is one without a second. He can be known, Swamiji says, through AUM, which signifies His all pervasive universalism, which includes your very own Self."
To chant AUM correctly fills the heart and mind with peace, tranquility and bliss. One can experience the limitless ocean of power and energy within and without you. To chant AUM is to take a refreshing, invigorating bath in the Ganges of Peace and Serenity.
Each time the conch shell is blown by the sadhus, the AUM is produced, and peace, concentration and self-confidence is radiated into the atmosphere. It helps devotees merge with the Lord in their heart. I have experienced this here at the Mela on several occasions. The conch is blown daily in all the camps.
I sit in my room at the hotel, aware of incessant sounds, people chatting, men on the street selling wares, motorcycles, cymbals and bhajans, crashing and banging and screeching tires and horns, but all the while listening for the AUM working through the universe. It is a good practice.
I chant AUM aloud, yet silently and with a prayer that my body be strengthened. I sip some more tulasi lemon tea.

Over the course of more than two years, he had become my best friend. Letters and phone calls, sent over the many miles that separated us, created a bond that was unbreakable.
11:47pm February 17, 1997
Tonight, the miles that typically separate us did no longer. He was here with me, if only for a short time. As we sat in my parents living room, talking about the future, the world was quiet around us.
He told me that he loved me. He told me that he would always love me.
As he leaned over to kiss me, I started to tremble. We shared our first kiss, my first kiss ever. It was short, but oh-so sweet.
And we said good night.
Looking back on that night – a night that seems like a lifetime ago – I vividly recall the feelings of raw emotion, tenderness, and young love.
This month, over 11 years after our first kiss, we will celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary. I am thrilled beyond words that I still see the same look of love and adoration, when I look at my husband and he gives me the first kiss of every day.

Contrary to the name given to this skin condition, Ringworm doesn't actually have anything to do with worms of any kind, Ringworm in dogs, cats, other animals and people is a fungal infection that essentially feeds on dead skin and hair.
In most cases, there will be a number of different fungi apparent. The name given to these fungi is Dermatophytes which translates to "plants that live on the skin."
The Causes Of Ringworm
The Causes, Symptoms And Treatment Of Ringworm in DogsThe Causes, Symptoms And Treatment Of Ringworm in DogsRingworm is a transmitted fungal infection, meaning that the infection can be contracted from a carrier with this infection.
It tends to invade the hair follicles and is not species-specific; instead, it can be transmitted from one species to another regardless of the species type. This means that if your pets have Ringworm it's highly likely that you will contract the infection from them.
The spores can live just about everywhere namely in mattresses, bedsheets, carpets, and sofas. They can also be found living in the soil if the conditions in the environment are right.
Once you discover the nasty ailment in your home it will be up to you to treat every area of your home. For this, you can seek the advice of a veterinarian and a general practitioner. Cleaning your home with bleach will certainly help to kill most of the spores.
The Symptoms Of Ringworm in Dogs
Ringworm will first become noticeable around the tail, paws, ears, and face and is more apparent in younger dogs and puppies whose immune systems have not yet developed to their fullest. As its name suggests, the disease will start out as a small reddened circle, or ring, that will usually result in the loss of hair within that ring.
However, keeping in mind that Localized Demodectic Mange also often starts out as reddened bald circles, as do many other skin conditions, it can be very difficult to diagnose Ringworm in dogs without a scrape or skin analysis.
At first Ringworm may not actually be an 'itchy' skin condition; the itchiness is usually heightened due to irritable scratching. This can then obviously lead to small lesions or sores on the skin which can, in turn, become infected, increasing the itchiness more so.
In severe cases, when the infection has set in, Kerions may be noticeable. These are small rounded raised nodes that will need to be treated immediately, as once the dog experiences symptoms like these the infection may already be at its worst.
Ringworm has an incubation period of 10 to 12 days, which means the symptoms will only become apparent after this time. This, unfortunately, means that the carrier finds out when it's 'already too late'.
Treatment Of Ringworm in Dogs
Ultimately, Ringworm only has a lifespan of 2 to 4 months, which means that after this time it will have run its course and die out. But this in no way means that the dog, pet or person should be left to suffer from the condition for that period of time, especially when it can be treated.
A correct diagnosis will need to be made by a professional who will then advise you on appropriate medication and treatment. In most cases, the dog will be given a dip that they will need to be bathed in a number of times.
This is another reason why it can be difficult to home-treat your dog with Ringworm because only a professional will be able to advise you on how often they will need to be dipped.
The first step you'll need to take will be to treat the infected dog or pet as well as those who live in the same home.
While there are home remedies available, it is never a good idea to assume the level of this condition. One may think that a simple home-made mixture of lavender-water and tea-tree (for example) could clear the infection, but sadly it's not that simple.
Your vet may also opt for topical treatment or an injectable treatment depending on the severity of the condition.
When it comes to clearing your home you could choose to disinfect every corner of your home with a bleach solution, as mentioned above. A mixture of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water applied to each and every surface in your home could help to kill in the region of 80 percent of the spores.
In conclusion, skin conditions are extremely unpleasant for any animal. Ringworm in dogs can be treated. Pet owners should always ensure they are doing only the best for their companion pets, and a trip to the vet is the best that can be done in this case.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I love your products! My 3yr old son has Juvenile Arthritis, and the Arthritis Foundation just sent him a package in the mail and in the package was a Brandon Bear from your company. He loves it! We warm it up before nap and bedtime and he has been sleeping with it. It is a blessing that he received this.
Dear Diane- It was good to see you at the Northville show. I trust that you had a good show or at least a good time!
"I have to tell you my son loves his bear. He gave up his "binkie" to sleep with his "sick bear" as he calls it. He used it so often I decided to try the lavender puppy because we were having trouble with night terrors. I am pleased to say that he loves the puppy just as much. He named him Fudge and we warm him up every night. The night terrors are down to about once a week instead of once or twice a night. I also bought my baby daughter the baby bears, she sleeps with them every night also. I can't say enough good things about these, they have made getting rid of the "binkie" and night terrors an easier process, I couldn't be happier with the way the have helped my son. I recommend these to everyone I know." Thanks, Dawn, William, and Madelyn
"I just wanted to update you as to the success of my "flax wrap Christmas". All my relatives are very happy with them. I especially want to tell you about my Mom. She is 84 and has developed problems with the tendons of her hands. The MD wants to do surgery, which she does not want, and visits to a chiropractor proved too stressful to her. Since she said the pain was unbearable I started daily hot wax treatments and massage on her hands. Her favorite part is the back and neck wraps during the massage and the wrap en-folding her hand in warmth afterward! I am glad to report that not only has the pain gone away but also the numbness associated with it! Thank you so much! It has been over a year since I met you at Dr. Doty's craft show. I went to support her but I am so glad that I found your product. I told you that my lady friend said she didn't want anything for last Christmas and boy did you ever set me straight! She still hugs her Bear when we are apart and uses all the wraps to keep her going in her cleaning business. I have become a certified massage therapist with the last year and I use your wraps with clients and I always get oohs and aahs from them! The upcoming year might offer me opportunities for teaching in the massage field. If this happens you can be sure I will teach them about the superior benefits of flax seed wraps! You are a nice lady with a superior product and I wish the best to you and yours in your efforts and in your lives." Thankfully, Bill Love of B Love Certified Massage LLC
"I just had to let you know that I love your wraps. I heated up the very large one for my back, at it was great. It covered the whole area that was stiff and hurt. It smelled wonderful also. My Mom and Dad stopped by and I showed them to Mom. We took a another pad and compared it to your wraps........NO COMPARISON!!!!! My mom has sewn for many years and she commented on how well your wrap was constructed. (She even tried one out). We both like the pillowcase that can be removed and washed." Julie
"I recommend Diane's products to my clients because of their superior quality - they really help ease muscle pain. And my grandsons love the ultra-soft, warm bears when their tummies hurt and the cold flax packs for their bruises. Diane has created the best user-friendly products I have found." Judy L., RN, CMT
"As a doctor I have sold these in my office for about 2 years. I always loved the wraps and Diane's ability to make what we needed. Now using them as a patient with torn A.C.L. I can't stop saying how much I LOVE THEM!!! It makes me (yes a doctor, knowing how important ice is) a COMPLIANT patient. When I actually needed these wraps, I found out how amazing they are. No one really wants to put a bag of ice, melting, freezing and uncomfortable on their body. Diane has made them comfortable, fashionable and EASY to use. Making you not dread your next icing!!!" Thank you! Dr. Ronda Marshall
"On a cold winter day, nothing is more comforting then a "Relax With Flax" wrap, heated and wrapped around my shoulders. This makes these cold winters a lot more bearable." Roger
"I love these heating pads. I have chronic headaches and neck pain, they are a life saver. Such good quality. I used to get another type of wrap and they are not very good quality like these. They would break and the herb mixture would always fall to one end of the heating pad. These don't. They have seams so the herb mixture stays in the middle. I love that I can take the covers off and wash them. Can't do that with the competition. I also have the eucalyptus pad for sinus pressure and colds. I use them with my kids often. It helps open up there nasal passages and relax their coughing." Melissa Morelli
We're not around right now. But you can send us an email and we'll get back to you, asap.

publishing poetry with a pulse since 2000
"Paul's poetry is planted in the order of the earth but stretches, grows organically to enfold the ripened fruit of wife, child, friend. His is the grace of honesty without brutality, deep feeling without sentimentality. His work wears well – and abides within his reader."
—W.H. Ryan
"Paul Neumann's poetry engages both intellect and feeling with a subtle blend of nature's many moods and settings, rendered in rich, vivid detail; each poem culminates in a stunning perception of the unity pervading all nature, a unity that includes both poet and reader. Neumann's art is so subtle that his poems become a kind of invisible glass through which the reader seems to be looking into the poet's innermost being, seeing what the poet sees, feeling as he feels. Neumann's awareness of life's final days, symbolized by the setting sun, and his acceptance of it as an inevitable part of human existence, leaves the reader uplifted in spirit. From Neumann's perspective, life flows from and through nature, and this union brings a deep sense of the rightness of all that he sees, and has seen."
—Bernard Morris
"Paul Neumann's contemplative poems are tender and wise, humble and celebratory. Here is a father, husband, son, and friend who chronicles human relationships and a life well-lived in California's Central Valley and on its Central Coast, a true poet in tune with the natural world like few poets have ever been. I love this book. This Valley is a generous gift from a poet at his best. It is our good fortune to enjoy it again and again."
—Lee Herrick

This post recaps my month: my personal life, the fun and not so fun; books I've read; movies/ tv shows I've watched; and all other things worth mentioning.
Whoops, this recap is long overdue… As in nine LONG days overdue. January has been very eventful (so is February, if you're wondering, but more about that later). January was a month of changes and ALL OF THEM VERY GOOD! I promise all I have to tell you is going to be worth the ridiculous amount of capital letters.
I have wanted to shout this news from the rooftops ever since I heard it, however, I've managed to keep myself somewhat in check and as a result, not a whole lot of people know about this -not so little- tidbit of information. A few months ago I applied for the MSc Publishing program at Edinburgh Napier University. I never made it a secret that I wanted to work in the field of publishing, and with my bachelor's degree in the pocket (yes, really!) it is time for the next step. I applied and about a month later I was offered an unconditional offer, WHICH I ACCEPTED!! Starting September 2018 you will be able to find me in Edinburgh and I am wildly excited about the whole thing. I love Scotland and I love that I get to spend a full year there studying on a subject that I am passionate about. So if you have any recommendations regarding any activities, events, or whatnot in Edinburgh, feel free to tell me all about it!
Next, some of you might know I have been working on a research project for the past few months. I conducted research on the influence of marketing through book blogs, Bookstagram, and BookTube on the buying behavior of YA readers. A subject quite close to my heart as you might have guessed and I am really proud of the final result. I wrapped everything up and handed it in this month and received my grade a week later. Now for those of you that don't know how the Dutch grading system works: grades vary from 1 to 10. 10 means you aced it and couldn't have done any better and 1 pretty much means that the whole thing sucked. From 6 and onwards the grade is sufficient. My grade for my research project *drumroll please* is a 9,5. Yes, a NINE POINT FIVE on a scale of 1 to 10. I'd have to say I am pretty damn proud of myself, haha.
Nope, that is NOT all, because I have even more good news! The last two weeks of January I started my new internship at a Dutch YA publishing house! I am now a marketing intern at Blossom Books, the Dutch YA publishing house that publishes books by Tahereh Mafi, Marissa Meyer, Leigh Bardugo, Sara Holland and more. I have loved every moment of my last internship and I hope this one will be just at great.
I smuggled a bit and included two books started in December as well. January was ALL about finishing my Throne of Glass reread, only to realize that the final installment won't be out until freaking October 2018 and then dying from sadness upon that discovery.
- Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas.
- Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas.
- Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas.
- Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas.
- Thanks, Obama by David Litt
- Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi (CURRENT READ)
Turns out I have become Lucifer crazed. I binge-watched that show like there as no tomorrow and LOVED every single second of it. Then the Designated Survivor craze got to me too… Give me one week off and I'll go through Netflix like I haven't been able to in months, haha.
The Gifted season 1, episode 9 – 10.
Hawaii 5-o, season 8, episode 9 – 10.
Lucifer, season 2, episode 1 – 18.
Lucifer, season 3, episode 1 – 11.
Designated Survivor, season 1, episode 1 – 22. THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD!
Designated Survivor, season 2, episode 1 – 10.
The Maze Runner. I just love these movies (which might have something to do with Dylan O'Brien).
Bad Moms. Rewatched this with a friend and it was just as hilarious as the first time around.
How did January treat you?

Although the Lumia 930 was excluded from the Windows 10 preview today due to a scaling issue, it seems the handset is still eligible for a new update in the form of Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2.
The Windows 10 Technical build 10051 for phones, expanded the list of supported handsets, but some users found their devices were being updated to Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 instead of Windows 10. Microsoft even started a thread in their support forum to try and figure out the cause. Since the Lumia 930 was not eligible for this build of Windows 10, it can directly move onto Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2.
Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 brings its own set of improvements, including a new layout in Settings that is clearly more organized with jump lists and a search tool. There are also some other minor cosmetic changes, like the 'All apps' with the arrow near the bottom of the Start screen. Presumably, you will also get the new Bluetooth stack that supports Bluetooth keyboards.
If you own a Lumia 930, you can get Update 2 by downloading the Windows Insider app and signing up for the Fast Track. The phone will check for an update and download the new bits. Windows 10 will not be installed. The build number is 15116.
For now Lumia Icon (Lumia 929) owners seem to be out of luck, as the Verizon exclusive variant of the Lumia 930 will remain without the update until Microsoft resolves Windows 10 compatibility.

Prophetic Word: TRUMP REPORTS TO OBAMA (Linda Hasche)
Last night and several times again this morning, the Holy Spirit spoke the following in my spirit that had me shaken. I even feel uncomfortable writing this up: "TRUMP REPORTS TO OBAMA"
Folks, I can't adequately express the feelings I had when I first heard that from the LORD and the repeated times He said those Words. I already knew Trump was a part of "The New World Order" (THE antichrist system) because of what the LORD has been showing/telling me. It was MUCH worse than I thought, but the TRUTH of the Words, "TRUMP REPORTS TO OBAMA" just takes things to another level of evil. I wanted confirmation about what I was told and instantly the Holy Spirit said, "Isaiah 36". I don't know what Isaiah 36 says at all (which is quite common when the LORD is confirming revelations/words/dreams for me). When I turned to my Bible, the follow verses were highlighted by the LORD:
Isaiah 36:13-16 ~ Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in Judean and said, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. Thus says the king, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you; nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, "The Lord will surely deliver us, this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria." Do not listen to Hezekiah,' for thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern."
The LORD let me know Obama is as the King of Assyria in these verses and Trump is as Hezekiah in these verses. I also know now, that even though Obama "officially" left the office of the President . . . He is ruling behind the scenes even more than he did as president. I also know that those who had been shown, told, sensed from the LORD that Obama is the last president of the United States. . . WERE RIGHT. What we see now in the United States political scene is a farce. A show.
The global elite chose Trump to be a diversion to professing Christians so they would not fast, pray and repent . . . To be easier prey for the destruction planned for those who profess to be a Christian. WHILE all along, Obama is truly running the show, preparing to step FULLY into his role as THE antichrist. The delusion of "all will be well because Trump is in office" is a part of the deluding influence that we are warned about in the Bible (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
MOST professing Christians did NOT seek the LORD about the truth about Trump and have been caught up in the delusion. Soon and very soon, the truth of the reality of Trump as a part of the global elite "show" will be seen for those who awaken and have eyes to see and ears to hear. Some already know. Most do not. What I can say to you is this: WE ARE IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THIS PLANET!!! GET READY FOR THE RETURN OF THE KING of kings AND THE LORD of lords . . Yeshua THE Messiah.
REPENT!!! REPENT!!! REPENT!!! PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD ALL YOU WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!! He will return in the midst of the greatest darkness this planet has ever seen; truly His return will be like "a thief in the night" (1 Thessalonians 5:2), because the spiritual darkness will be like night. Are you ready?

Nicaraguan President-elect Daniel Ortega has announced that he will this week call on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to relax its stringent policy towards Nicaragua in order to be able to tackle endemic poverty and hunger
The Sandinista leader, who will return to power in January 2007 after sixteen years out of office, hopes he can count upon support from the churches, non-government organisations and international solidarity networks as his centre-left administration tries to reverse years of decline which have left the Central American country among the most impoverished in the world.
Already, a former conservative Catholic Cardinal has made a strong public plea to make anti-poverty action a top priority.
Ortega, whose FSLN was a romantic cause celebre for the political left in the 1980s, lost the Nicaraguan election in 1990, after concerted US-backed attempts to destabilise the radical social experiment that followed years of Somoza dictatorship – which was ended by the Sandinista revolution in 1979.
Now, however, the former commandante has returned to power on a wave of renewed support, and he says that that he will try to work with private companies and foreign investors to rebuild the country.
Daniel Ortega is to meet with an IMF top level mission on Tuesday 19 December 2006, gathering in the Nicaraguan capital, Managua.
He said this week that maintaining macroeconomic balance and ending the dire poverty that affects 80 percent the population were the inter-dependent conditions for effectively renewing the IMF accord.
The IMF mission will be led by Western Division Manager Anoop Singh, IMF representative in Nicaragua, Humberto Arbulu, told reporters last week.
Among IMF demands are the freezing the Social Security Law the National Assembly approved May 2005, to be enforced when Ortega assumes office on 10 January 2007.
The president-elect says that abandoning such programmes means abandoning the neediest. He has also called on business leaders to back urgently needed social programmes.
The incoming Sandinista president has already received backing from unexpected sources. The now-retired Cardinal Obando y Bravo, who was a critic of the FSLN and the radical 'popular church' in the 1980s, recently spoke at a Mass to celebrate Ortega's 61st birthday.
The 80-year-old retired archbishop of Managua mentioned in his homily what he considers one of the greatest injustices in the contemporary world: "It is relatively a few who possess much and many who possess almost nothing. It is injustice resulting from the poor distribution of goods and services destined originally for all."
He continued: "Human rights are violated not only by terrorism, repression and murders but also by the existence of conditions of extreme poverty and of unjust economic structures that cause great inequalities."
US Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon has also met with Daniel Ortega, and the US is now talking of an "important" new dialogue between the former bitter enemies.

Bathroom King Peter I, and healing Bath from the time of the Romans
Banja Koviljaca is in the western part of Serbia, in Podrinje region. It is located on the right bank of river Drina, in the foothills of the mountain Gucevo, at height above sea level of 125m. By archaeological researches it is established that the region of Banja Koviljaca was inhabited even in Roman time. In the middle age, under the walls of "Koviljkin grad", the people of this place were visiting sources of remedial water.
Sulphurous mineral waters (of 15-28 degrees of C) and the remedial mud represent natural remedial factors of Banja Koviljaca. Remedy is carried out in the Special rehab hospital "Banja Koviljaca", along with the application of hydrotherapy, peloidotherapy, magnetic therapy, manual therapy, underwater and vibro massage.
Banja is surrounded with one of the biggest and the most beautiful parks in Serbia, suitable for walks and recreation. By far known spa ballroom "Kur-salon" attracts visitors with its beauty, and luxurious interior reminds of the past times and luxurious balls.
What to See?
On the mountain Cer there are remains of the old towns and establishments (Kosanin and Trojanov grad), as well as the memory mausoleum, and in the spa itself are "Koviljkin grad" and Gradac. Close by Banja Koviljaca is Trsic, birth town of Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic, with ethno village under protection of the state, which evokes the way of life in Vuk`s time.
There is also a monastery Tronosa, in which the "Museum of early education of Vuk" is located, where Vuk learned to write. On Drina there are arranged places for recreational fishing, and on Gucevo there is a large number of popular resorts.
How to Get There?
To Banja Koviljaca from Belgrade by high way Beograd-Ruma, and then regional road Ruma-Sabac-Loznica-Banja Koviljaca (145km), from Novi Sad by regional road Novi Sad-Ruma-Sabac-Loznica-Banja Koviljaca (143km).
The nearest airport is in Belgrade (135km). The border crossing toward Bosna and Hercegovina is 5km far. Banja Koviljaca has a good road network system with Banja Luka and Sarajevo.

Silver Sequins and Celebrations
by Elle
Hello All,
This past Saturday, we got a chance to celebrate with family at a family wedding. The backdrop was a beautiful floral garden on a perfect Spring Day.
I wore a simple ensemble of neutrals. The muted silver sheen of this skirt adds a touch of fancy without overpowering the pairing. I adore the fish scale look of the skirt, it reminds of mermaids. I added a couple of strands of pearls and sparkly earrings to tie the whole outfit together.
Hope you are having a great Sunday as I get back into the swing of things.

WASHINGTON (WJZ) — A landmark church opens its door to same-sex marriage.
Adam May talks to the head of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. has been called the spiritual home of America. It's where presidents pray for guidance at inauguration and where the country mourns the loss of heroes and politicians such as Neil Armstrong and President Ronald Reagan.
Now the country's most famous church decides they will perform same-sex marriages.
"The reaction I'm getting is overwhelmingly positive," said National Cathedral Dean Rev. Gary Hall. "We have a role as a symbolic institution, a leadership role and this is a teachable moment. Even this big edifice that stands for continuity and tradition has discerned that it is God's will, that God loves everybody and calls everybody into relationship with God and each other."
The Episcopalian church recently joined the United Church of Christ, evangelical Lutherans, Unitarians and conservative and liberal Jews in support of same-sex marriage.
"We're at a moment in American culture and history where we have thought about this and come to a decision as the church that we are solidly behind same-sex marriage," Hall said.
The new policy takes effect immediately but that doesn't mean anyone can be married there. You must either be a member of the church or have a strong relationship with the Cathedral.

Why is this April so busy, you guys? Case in point: this past weekend.*
~Friday: my sweetie and I were part of our local library's Shakespeare lock-in. Our portion involved two full hours of insults, swordplay, and improv. Despite years of (varying degrees of) experience, the latter still makes me exceedingly nervous. Fortunately Don did the heavy lifting; I was there to "yes, and" as well as to teen-wrangle. Also blithered on quite a bit about various weapons and stage combat, which is always good times.
~Saturday: Crimson Pirates gig. Nerves were frazzled well in advance thanks to the dodginess of my voice (spoiler alert: I made it through, even though the week before I was nigh on mute by the end of rehearsal) and the sheer number of songs we were performing. I'm playing ukulele on SO MANY songs now, and since we've gone back and reworked some of our older tunes, I've also got a buttload of new harmonies. It's all to the good, and makes performing these songs ever so much more fun, but it's no less but daunting. We also had a few new tunes going up, including one that we've been doing for less than a month. That I brought to the table. That I'm opening with fingerpicking. That I'm not particularly good at. Anyway, it was a marvelous evening. Great audience, good energy, and a gracious host (he decorated the place, for heaven's sake, and made a special batch of piratey rum drinks, bless him!). As for the two songs I was worried about screwing up, well... I screwed them both up. Somehow, the world is still turning. Anyway, we didn't get home until nearly 1 a.m., and not to bed until nearly an hour later, which led to...
~Sunday: ... far too little sleep. I had to get up in time to prep for the NYRF director's meeting which, somehow,** we found ourselves hosting. Naturally, when people gather at my house there is nothing for it but that they must have vast amounts of food placed in front of them. I cleaned, I chopped, I prepped, I made what I worried was far too much guacamole.*** While they met and conversed and charted the course of the coming season, I roped J. (fiancé of one of the choreographers) into helping me clean up my veggie garden. We also planted peas. Then, because the day was beautiful and we still had time, J. and I went for a 3.2 mile run, replete with terrible hills. By the time we got back, the meeting was over. My day, however, was still not done. In light of the forthcoming SCRPF (apologies if I've botched the abbreviation, but it's fun to say it aloud all the same) gig, we still had twenty additional songs to run through. So. Two hours of Crimson Pirates rehearsal. Boom.
If I sound like I'm whinging, I'm really not. I'm getting a chance to do a whole lot of things that I love, or at least tolerate/need to do (I'm looking at you, Training for a Half Marathon). It's just... I'm old(ish) and not as fit as I ought to be and this cold will hang on and I'm tired and want a nap and there's a lot of other things I really really want to do and people I really really want to see and I'm old(ish) and tired and it's tough to find a few spare minutes.
Here's where I was going to link to a video from Saturday's gig, but honestly? The picture quality isn't the best, the sound mix is uneven, and I'm still not all that comfortable listening to myself sing/play. Instead, I offer this old (read: OLD!!!!) headshot. Giggle as you will.
* in which, I want to point out, I also taught two cardio-kickboxing classes.
** "Oh, by the way, I volunteered to host the director's meeting the day after our Tuxedo Ridge gig. That's cool, right?" ~my sweetie
** * true fact: there is NO. SUCH. THING.

Shoulder Pain - How are shoulder problems diagnosed
As with any medical issue, a shoulder problem is generally diagnosed using a three-part process;
Medical history – the patient tells the doctor about any injury or other condition that might be causing the pain. Time line of the shoulder pain. Exacerbating and remitting factors...How does the pain get worse? How does the pain get better? This will give many clues to the physician about what might be causing this.
Keep in mind the differential diagnosis for shoulder pain is long. Many different things can cause it. The second part of the process is physical examination. The doctor examines the patient to feel for injury and discover the limits of movement, location of pain, extent of joint instability. Many times this will be enough and medical history and physical exams do a very accurate diagnosis about what exactly is going on with the shoulder. If the doctor still has more questions, the doctor may order more imaging tests to help make a specific diagnosis.
A standard x-ray in which low level radiation is passed through the body to produce a picture called a radiograph. This type of x-ray is useful for diagnosing fractures or other problems with the bones. Soft tissue such as muscles and tendons do not show up on x-rays. Ultrasound is a different non-evasive technique in which ultrasound waves can be used to visualize some structures in the shoulder particularly the ones closer to the surface. Many times the problems with the rotator cuff are due to some of the structures located close to the surface and therefore is very helpful in making this diagnosis.
Finally, a frequently used imaging technique is the magnetic residence imaging (MRI) which is another non-evasive procedure in which a machine with a strong magnet passes a force through the body to produce a series of cross-sectional images of the shoulder. This allows the doctor to look at the soft tissues and help make a more definitive diagnosis. Most certainly before a surgery is proposed, an MRI will likely be available for the doctor to review to plan surgery.
