"Stay and play"
The hotel is great and the triple play complex attached to the property was a lot of fun for the kids.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Not a good experience."
Hotel very disappointing. Outdated decor, rec room vintage pillows, and old thin linens. Much like a budget motel at a higher price. Staff appeared disinterested and demoralized. Spend a little more a go elsewhere to be pampered.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Great for a quick couple's getaway!"
we loved the fact there was a bowling alley and mini-golf attached to the hotel; so much fun! great free breakfast. bed was comfy and jetted tub in room 400 was huge!Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great hospitality"
This was our second stay at Holiday Inn Suites and it was just as comfortable as the first. The staff here are very friendly, helpful, and courteous. I was gifted a free upgrade to a Suite from a regular room after I offered to pay for it by the Day Manager. The only complaint is that the satalite was not adjusted properly making it impossible to watch […] TV during the day time only. I was there holed up for four days, so it became a little fustrating. Same experience the first stay as well. All else was surpurb. 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Excellent Hotel for a Family Getaway"
I was very impressed with the quality of customer service, the excellent breakfast buffet and the fact that the staff accommodated my daughter's peanut allergy by having a binder available with the nutritional information and ingredients of each food item. She was able to chose which foods she could or could not eat. (there was only one item she wasn't […] able to have!) I loved the 3Play amusement park attached to the hotel. My only suggestion is that perhaps the rooms can be set up so that the beds are not against the wall of the next room where the TV's are situated. I was able to hear the tv in the next room one night until 1 am. However, the staff was able to provide me with ear plugs for my second night stay! We will come back next year!! 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
We were stuck in the basement. The rooms are very loud. You can hear everything that goes on above you. Someone got sick in our room previous to our staff. You could still smell it. They did not make the bed or change the sheets during the day. Cleanliness was subpar. Disappointment.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Next to water park, but no pool."
Comfortable bed. Great shower, but small tub. Great breakfast.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Nice hotel, but some drawbacks..."
We came here for one night for a family trip to Raptor Reef and Silverwood. It was very convenient and worked out great in that aspect. The one HUGE drawback is because of the location and proximity to Raptor Reef/Triple play it was LOUD! the hotel was not even close to full and they put us in a room that was right next to the waterslides and park area […] and it was horrible until about 3am when the place closed for the night. We didn't realize this until about 10pm, or I would have asked to move rooms, but our 3 and 4 year old had fallen asleep already. If you stay at this hotel and they put you in room 200 - 230 on the even side of the hall ask for a different location or you won't get any sleep. 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Stayed on a Recommendation"
We stayed there on a recommendation from someone we knew. Beautiful hotel and great breakfast. Being close to Triple Play helped too.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Relaxing and fun for all!"
This was a very fun family vacation.. Hotel was very conveniently located with triple play. Which made it very easy with three children and two adults. The only thing that upset me was the old man who works at triple play was VERY rude regarding a misunderstanding. Could of been handled with a little more respect.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Room smelled moldy, no wireless service"
This was our second stay at HIEX in Hayden. Our first was great. This stay, however, the room was clean but we noticed a moldy smell near the beds, and the wireless internet service didn't work on either my husband's laptop or mine. We called the front desk and someone answered, but accidentally hung up on us. We called again and left a message. No […] return call. The next morning we mentioned the wireless issue to the manager while checking out, and they offered that next time we could request an Ethernet cable. 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Worst Holiday Inn Express Experience I've Had"
I stay in Holiday Inn Express' quite regularly (2X per month) and this is the worst experience I've had so far. It started out well. After check in, I went to go open my room and the key didn't work. I went downstairs where the manager told me she had keyed the room wrong so she was upgrading me to a nicer room. While the room was very large it smelled […] like there had been a dog in the room previously. I could not get a wifi signal at all in my room and when I was trying to get help from the front desk it seemed like he was more interested in talking on the phone (Personal Call) than helping me with my issue. When I advised him I couldn't even plug in to the wall he simply said "I don't know what to tell you". I had to do the work that I had to get done in the hotel lobby. There were multiple people in the lobby that also couldn't get WiFi in their rooms. I will not stay at this location again. 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Triple Play Holiday Inn in Hayden, Idaho"
This is the perfect place to stay if you are planning a vacation with children of all ages. We spend 3 nights there with our adult children and all 7 of our grandchildren. Each room was either a King or Queen Kids Suite, each came with a seperate sleeping area with bunkbeds for the kiddos! Super breakfast every morning too! The Triple Play resort connected […] to hotel is so much fun both inside & outside with everything from waterslides to a giant wave pool & bumper boats to race car track to Mini golf coarses, 1 inside & 1 outside. Place to eat & drink anything you'd like also a bowling alley, giant arcade & LAZER tag room! We are going to make it an annual destination! We were ages 4 to 66 and fun was had by all!! 詳情Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"You get what you pay for!!!!!"
For the money this hotel was an excellent place to stay for 4 nights, the hot breakfast in the morning was a definite bonus, i would have no problem recomending this hotel, i could only wish that the other hotels we stayed in on our trip were up to this standard.Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Always a great trip!"
We've been to this location year after year for the past 5 years. The hotel is always clean. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. The hotel is adjacent to an indoor water park and amusement centre which is a convenient location for a fun-filled holiday. Staff for both the hotel and the amusement facilities were exceptionally friendly and accomodating. […] The breakfast buffet is well setup with a good variety of options, with a large, clean and bright dining area that can be used by hotel guests throughout the day - a great place to spread out for a board game! 詳情Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Excellent choice."
You would know that the area is in a rough economy by any changes made in the hotel staff and the hotel reflected no adverse situation. As all of the times I have stayed there, outstanding facilities and staff.Expedia 旅客真實的評價

Attributes affect many aspects of your character, and are increased by gaining Food Event Points (FEPs). See the FEP Table for a list of all foods and their FEPs.
Low-tier and High-tier food refers to the ease of acquiring such foods, rather than the FEPs they provide. Low Tier foods are those available to players without access to clay or metal.
Contents |
- Affects damage inflicted by melee weapons or unarmed attacks.
- Affects your ability to destroy objects, by (Adventuring -> Destroy) or using a Battering Ram. Stone axe adds 1 damage, a Pickaxe adds 2 damage, and a Sledgehammer adds 4. Your damage is calculated by sqrt(Strength).
- In conjunction with Smithing, softcaps the quality of objects crafted with Metal Working and Steelmaking.
Example low-tier Strength food: Roasted Boar Meat, Pumpkin Flesh, Ant Soldiers, Roasted Brill

Sports Update
Do or die: Wakeland drops series opener to find itself on brink of elimination
Published: Thursday, May 17, 2012 11:37 PM CDT
GRAND PRAIRIE -- Wakeland head coach Barry Rose told his team to expect a three-game series before Thursday's regional quarterfinal opener against Highland Park.
The Wolverines will need the series to go three games in order to avoid a sweep after dropping Game 1 of the best-of-3 set, 3-1, from QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie.
"We were anticipating it going all three games," Rose said. "That's something we've prepared for."
Highland Park did all of its damage at the plate in the first inning, scoring three runs off Wakeland senior starting pitcher Hayden Nixon.
Nixon, coming off a perfect game in his last outing against Bryan Adams, surrendered four hits and overcame a hard hit ball that bounced off his pitching hand during the first inning.
"Luckily it just got hit on the tip a little bit," Rose said. "He always stays in the game to compete and give you innings though."
The senior lefty was back to typical form after the opening frame and pitched the final six innings without surrendering another run.
"[Nixon] is mentally tough," Rose said. "He always bounces back."
After surrendering just two hits over the final six innings, Nixon ended his outing with just six hits given up in his seven innings of work. He also struck out four batters and walked just one.
Meanwhile, the Wakeland offense had difficulty solving Highland Park junior hurler Matt Wilson.
The lefty held the Wolverines scoreless for the first six innings and picked off two runners at first base.
Wilson's first pick off came in the second inning when designated hitter Ryan Perry reached base on a leadoff single.
During the next at bat, Perry was picked off after the first of two controversial no calls.
"I thought he was balking," Rose said. "You've got to go with what [the umpires] are going to call though."
Sophomore catcher Seth Mullis singled in the following at bat for Wakeland but couldn't score after a pair of strikeouts from first baseman Johnny Gonzalez and right fielder Cameron Brockhoff.
Wakeland would get the leadoff man on base once again during the fifth inning after a single from Gonzalez.
Wilson then tallied his second pick off on a similar move to the one that got Perry in the second inning.
"That shouldn't be a problem for the rest of the series," Rose said. "They don't have another lefty that will pitch."
Much like the second inning, the Wolverines followed the pick off with another base hit.
This time it was Brockhoff with a rope into the gap that went for a one-out triple.
"We had our opportunities," Rose said.
Wakeland would fail to bring the runner home after outfielder Dan Harrington struck out looking for the second out and Nixon popped up a two-strike pitch for the inning's final out.
Nixon kept the Wolverines in the game with stellar pitching over the final six innings though and retired the final 10 batters of the contest.
"I like the way we finished the game," Rose said. "I think that will end up carrying over to Game 2."
Wilson finally bent a little in the bottom of the seventh with his team leading 3-0.
The Wolverines got back-to-back one-out singles from Mullis and Gonzalez to put the tying man at the plate.
Brockhoff then drove in Wakeland's first run of the night on an RBI groundout that put Wilson one out away from the victory.
Harrington couldn't deliver during the next at bat and struck out to end the game and any possible comeback.
Wilson ended his outing with just one run surrendered on seven hits and one walk while also fanning five hitters.
"I thought we had some good at bats in the seventh off Wilson," Rose said.
At 25-10 on the season, the Wolverines must now win consecutive games against Highland Park in order to avoid a playoff exit.
Senior Willie Schwanke is slated for the Game 2 start on the hill and will face righty Will Nichol in another 7:30 p.m. contest.
"We'll be ready," Rose said.
A potential third game would take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday from the same location.

This is the biggest quilting link party around and it's so fun to visit new places and see inspiring quilts from all over the world. I am so happy to have you here and share one of my quilt finishes of this year: Lone Star Dahlia wall hanging.
This quilt started with a Lone Star pattern, but turned into something so much more. I wanted to try out the pattern and audition colors for a quilt for my bed. I am still undecided as if this will be 'the one' but I am sure glad I tried it out on a small scale before attempted 7x7 rows of diamonds! They are tricky to get just right.

Turkey Or Ham?
Posted 11 December 2009 - 01:53 PM
I enjoy the flavor of ham more than turkey but, my vote is for turkey, less preservatives and pork is not as healthy, also I love turkey sandwiches!
Specially made for me by a Cheshire Cat???...I LOVE IT, THANK-YOU!

Turkey for Thanksgiving, ham for Christmas, and the tradition of the last few years in order to make things easy on Christmas Eve is chili and hot hoagie sandwiches. I make the chili ahead of time and everybody makes their own sandwich.
My dad's family always had lutefisk (if you don't know, don't ask) for Christmas Eve, so when my brother was old enough to run a grill, he started making steak for Mom, himself and me. I'll miss him this year.
I bet you do miss him! I think I miss him, too!
Oh, and I do sort of know what lutefisk is, although I've never had it. Have you read Lauraine Snelling's books? Great series about a family of Norwegian immigrants. I learned a lot about the food from reading that. I'm assuming lutefisk is a Norwegian dish, or from somewhere near!

Always Turkey. I dislike eating ham. But my vote in the family doesn't count for anything.

Oooh - just saw this thread pop up again today - we have Turkey Christmas Day - but my daughter makes homemade tamales for Christmas Eve and they are scrumptious! If we aren't with Debbie on Christmas Eve I do the cold cuts things with lots of dips and veggies and we just eat while we celebrate!

Christmas and Easter definately ham

Young Children: Child Development (6-8 Years Old)
Medical Author: John Mersch, MD, FAAP
What are milestones in physical skills development for young children 6-8 years of age?Arriving at the 6- to 8-year-old time frame, gross- and fine-motor skills have become much more sophisticated and integrated when compared to the previous two years. One of the most impressive changes is related to a child's coordination. They will now have the ability to finely coordinate independent movements of both the upper and lower extremities into a synchronous motion. Successfully riding a two-wheel bicycle requires reciprocal leg motion (for example, one side applies pressure to the pedal while the other leg relaxes) coupled with arm movements to maintain a desired direction all while maintaining the balance necessary to avoid falling. Some sports require these upper- and lower-extremity skills to be developed in tandem (gymnastics, ice staking, or hockey). Other sports have an emphasis on upper-extremity (baseball, basketball) or lower-extremity (soccer) skills. It is worthwhile for children to experience a number of various sports to allow experimentation in as many avenues as possible. Enjoyment over success should be the focal point. What are milestones in cognitive skills development for young children 6-8 years of age?In Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the 6- to 8-year-old child
has entered the "intuitive phase." Speech patterns have matured, and long and
complex sentences are to be expected. Occasional stuttering or stammering may be
noticed and should not be considered abnormal unless its existence interferes
with academic or social activities. Thought processes are less egocentric, and
the child begins to recognize that his/her actions have consequences (both
desired and undesired). Children of this age range are still concrete in
One area that may present itself during this period may be the designation for the first time that the child is gifted, either academically, athletically, or in the arts. It is important to investigate and quantify possible academic superiority with formal testing. Such scales as the Stanford-Binet IQ Test or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children -- Revised (WISC-R) are commonly administered by an educational psychologist on retainer by the local school district. It is important for parents to understand that a gifted child may imply either a global intellectual superiority or a more focused enhancement (for example, math) while other academic areas are age appropriate. While it is exciting for parents to have such an intellectually advanced child, there may be strains in family dynamics as a result. The child may feel different, and siblings may suffer misinterpreted praise for their brother/sister as denigration and lessening of their aptitude. The gifted child may adopt perfectionism as a mantra and suffer a demotion in self-esteem if academic success stutters. Families may invest large sums of time, emotion, and money to nurture such a child only to discover that he/she would prefer to play with friends. It is important for parents to realize that assignment of a child as gifted does not eliminate the possibility of a focused learning difficulty, ADHD, and possible personality disorders associated with these areas. |

Yak-camping stove recommendations? |
missingdna wrote:was looking at a full trangia set 27-1ha, the full hard anodised set for overnighters in the yak. But at 200 bucks i looked around and found a full anodised imitation trangia for 70 buck. The "pretender" is actually closer in size to the 25 series trangia and the quality seems to be the same as genuine.
I know which one im buying ,but makes me wonder how trangia can charge so much.

Aside from his 14.4 points per game, his absence was felt all over the court.
"It made a huge difference," Marquette's Junior Cadougan said. "Cooley doesn't jump after the ball, he stays down to the ground, doesn't fall for fakes. He rebounds. Him out of the game made it way easier for us.
Marquette came out of the gate hot, hitting its first six shots and led 31-16 after back-to-back 3-pointers by Steve Taylor Jr. and Todd Mayo with 8:18 to play in the first half. The Golden Eagles cooled off slightly after that, but still held a 41-27 advantage at the break.
"The key was how we turned the ball over, especially nine in the first half," Brey sad. "You're digging out of a hole on the road against a good team."
Notre Dame cut the deficit to 10 on Tom Knight's tip-in with 9:32 to play and was down just nine after Grant made one of two free throws, capping off a 12-5 run by the Irish. Marquette, meanwhile, went 5:13 without a basket, finally snapping the drought on Blue's layup with 5:40 to play.
Notre Dame again cut the lead to eight, but Wilson drew the foul on a short hook and converted the three-point play to make it 62-51 with 4:13 left. Notre Dame drew within six when Grant hit a 3-pointer to make it 70-64 with 32 seconds left but Wilson hit two free throws with 28 seconds left and Grant missed a 3-point attempt with 11 left.
Notes: Saturday marked the 117th meeting between the two teams, a series that began in the 1919-20 season. ... The Golden Eagles' last home loss came on Dec. 29, 2011, a 74-57 defeat to Vanderbilt, and during their streak, have beaten seven ranked opponents ... Notre Dame is 4-2 against ranked teams this season. ... The crowd of 19,093 was the second-largest in Marquette history and second-largest ever for a college basketball game in the state of Wisconsin.

Armitage has already agreed terms on a two-year deal at the French club, where he will link up with Jonny Wilkinson.
Armitage's contract with London Irish ran until 2012 and the Premiership club had insisted he would not be released unless they could find a suitable replacement.
The Exiles announced their decision on Friday night in a brief statement which read: "London Irish confirmed today that it has agreed to release Steffon Armitage from his contract with immediate effect.
"The club wishes him all the very best for the future."
London Irish have been accused of making an "illegal approach" for Leeds flanker Hendre Fourie, prompting the Yorkshire club to submit an official complaint.
Fourie, who made his international debut this this season, would fit the bill as a suitable replacement for London Irish given he is higher up the England pecking order than Armitage.
But relegation-threatened Leeds claim the Exiles have been guilty of unsettling Fourie, who is still under contract at Headingley until the summer of 2012.
Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: "We allege unprofessional conduct in that (player agent) James Adams contacted London Irish and negotiated a lucrative contract for Fourie in the weeks leading up to the end of the league season in full knowledge that the player was under contract.
"Also that London Irish negotiated a lucrative contract with the players' agent and, thereby, unsettling him and inducing him to break his contract with Leeds Carnegie."
Armitage has won five England caps but last played a full international against Italy in the 2010 Six Nations.
The 25-year-old will be putting international ambitions on hold by moving to the south of France, where he spent time living as a schoolboy.
The Rugby Football Union have made it clear to all players who move abroad this summer that they will not be eligible for England selection from the start of 2012.
Wilkinson has already decided to sign a new deal with Toulon while James Haskell, whose current deal with Stade Francais ends this summer, is weighing up his options.
Armitage spent five years at London Irish after moving from Saracens to play alongside his brother Delon, who has also been linked with a move to France.
Toulon president and owner Mourad Boudjellal originally announced the deal for Armitage in April.
Coach Phillippe Saint-Andre said at the time: "He's a very fast player and very powerful, given his size and his weight. He can also play at centre and he speaks French."

Web Extra: What Will New Credit Card Surcharges Cost You?
By: MSNBC.com
Updated: January 28, 2013
As the result of a class action settlement last July, merchants now have the option of tacking on a surcharge as high as 4-percent.
Visa and MasterCard had always prohibited the charge, but agreed to change the rules as part of the settlement of an antitrust suit brought by retailers.
The surcharge is supposed to equal the actual cost of processing the credit card transaction, which is typically 1.5-percent to 3-percent. Under the agreement, that fee is capped at 4-percent.
While many gas stations have been charging more to use credit cards for years, some retail experts don't expect other merchants to follow suit.
The National Retail Federation polled its members and found that none planned to add the fee.
Toys-R-Us and Target told NBC News they would not pass the buck to their shoppers.

Brilliant stories for boys....
If your son is anything like mine, nothing girly will do - no pink, no girls and definitely no girly stories. I know that this is the modern age - but 7 year old boys are determined, especially mine. My son was given this book for his 6th birthday and actually although it was a book - the title sold it to him and it became his favourite present. He read it to me from cover to cover and now has asked to learn more about the stories inside. This was the first book in the series we knew of and have since bought the 'Illustrated Book for Girls' for his cousin and have purchased 5 more for my son (the boyish ones of course!) we can't wait for later in the year for more titles......

Not Just for Boys
My daughter was given The Illustrated Classics for Girls for Christmas. It's a lovely gift book, nice padded cover, and the stories are retold with enough gusto and gist of the originals to be exciting. At that point (Xmas) she (age 6) was reading the stories aloud to me but recently, having exhausted the Girls' book, we thought we'd give Boys' stories a try. This one is better still! The stories are so much more exciting. And now my daughter is reading the book to herself, so these titles really have helped her develop as an independent reader. My only gripe is the titles - why not a mixture of classics with no 'Boy' or 'Girl' in the title? It is 2010, after all...

The Feminine Enlightenment
Enlightenment is the embodiment of love, wisdom and understanding.
The feminine enlightenment is the place in love where nurture lives, the place in wisdom where deep compassion lives, and the part of understanding that is shared through the still, silent place of knowing that lives within us.
The Yin is the well of nourishment, grounded, serene, stable, receptive, nurturing, enfolding. It is the soft black place where our deepest thoughts and intentions are born and encouraged, and the spark of inspiration and movement lives.

Collective Consciousness
With more and more people talking about collective consciousness, it seems natural to wonder, Is there any scientific research to back it up? The answer, increasingly, appears to be "yes." In fact, a growing body of recent research suggests not only that a field of awareness and intelligence exists between human beings but also that through it we influence each other in powerful ways.
What is an underlying question that gives form to your work or interest in this field?
What are the individual and collective practices that develop the human capacities and character qualities that are required to build collective wisdom and a passion to effectively serve the common good?

Your body loves gratitude! Not a superficial "oh gee, thanks" but a deep, heart-connected appreciation that carries love and acceptance from a place of higher consciousness and well-being.
Your body loves it because it washes away the biochemistry of stress and insufficiency and replaces it with the alchemy of flow and emotional warmth. The resonance from gratefulness warms both the giver and receiver; it generates a field of appreciation sometimes referred to as limbic resonance. In the field of appreciation, we create a healing and reviving antidote to psycho-toxins such as "I don't have time," "I don't have enough," or "I am drained."
Each trickle of gratitude blesses us with its affirmation that we have all we need in consciousness itself to gather our strength and honor life. Each stream of gratitude clears out the corrosive toxins of stress and anxiety in your body and becomes a gift to yourself and to others.
We can be grateful that we are here in this time of earth challenges with an unquenchable sense of hope and with a steadfast belief in our human capacity to heal, to renew and even to go beyond what seemed our most persistent limitations.
So I say let the gratitude flow. We are ready for the challenges that exist now and that lie ahead. Let these great rivers of our deepest intention flow towards a polarized and distracted world and cleanse it with the power of love. We come from all races, all creeds, all socio-political backgrounds with one unifying feeling of gratitude for life, for consciousness, and for a new evolutionary path forward. We come with gratitude for every being that came before us. We have been given an epic moment in the journey of life on earth to bring our greatest scientific knowledge together with our deepest spiritual insight to change the course of history. If you ever thought you were insignificant, consider how you are now needed in this great shift. And be grateful that you were given such a role and such a time to live in.
Thank you, thank you for what each one of you does to step up and to raise the consciousness of the citizens of this world. Thank you for feeding these great rivers. Thank you for being you.
In gratitude,
James O'Dea, 2007

We Are All Human Beings
"As a matter of observation, how people treat their fellow human beings, and indeed the world around them, largely depends on how they conceive of themselves. We all have many different ways of seeing "who we are," and these different views influence our behavior. For instance, we may consider ourselves in terms of gender as men or women, or as followers of this or that religion, or as members of this or that race or nationality. We may think or ourselves in terms of family--as a father or a mother, for instance. We may also identify with our occupation, our level of education, or our achievements. Depending on which perspective we take, we raise different expectations of ourselves. And this in turn affects our behavior, including our treatment of other people.
Everyone has his or her own separate identity. Because of this, it is of primary importance, in any attempt to develop a genuinely universal approach to ethics, to have a clear understanding of what unites us all, namely our common humanity. We are all human, all seven billion of us. In this respect we are all one hundred percent the same"
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

What are You Attending to Today?
Where we put our attention is important. What we put our attention on is energized and enlivened. The qualities of ourselves that we put our attention on are energized and enlivened in our world. The qualities of others that we put our attention on are energized and enlivened in the world that we share with them.
What qualities of yourself, other, and the world are you paying the most attention to? Know that where your attention goes, energy flows. Your attention is like an open circuit to a light bulb. Where your attention goes, those lights come on.
It is equally important that we don't hide things in the dark. We simply acknowledge them and turn our attention elsewhere. In some circumstances, the elsewhere that we want to turn our attention to is the solution, rather than fussing, fighting, and focusing on the problem.
Today, be mindful of where your attention goes. Seek out those things that you would like to see flourish, and put your attention there.

The Endless Knot
"At the same time, even from the most coldly intellectual point of view, it becomes clearer and clearer that we do not live in a divided world. The harsh divisions of spirit and nature, mind and body, subject and object, controller and controlled are seen more and more to be awkward conventions of language. These are misleading and clumsy terms for describing a world in which all events seem to be mutually interdependent--an immense complexity of subtly balanced relationships which, like an endless knot, has no loose end from which it can be untangled and put in supposed order."
"But the important point is that a world of interdependent relationships, where things are intelligible only in terms of each other, is a seamless unity. In such a world it is impossible to consider man apart from nature, as an exiled spirit which controls this world by having its roots in another. Man is himself a loop in the endless knot, and as he pulls in one direction he finds that he is pulled from another..." ~Alan Watts

Optimism Requires Courage
Optimism requires courage.
And optimism is rooted in action. It does not sit by and complain about what others are or are not doing, but rather takes action that makes a difference. Thus, optimism is self encouraging, as it can see the difference it makes and is compelled to continue doing so!
"Before you go to sleep, take five slow deep breaths. Allow an image of yourself to come into your awareness where you are thriving, laughing, and feeling grateful. Breathe it into every cell of your body. And remember, the person you see belongs to you." ~~Debbie Ford

Raising Consciousness
So what is the CAUSE of the unbearable pain Humanity has been experiencing for so very long?
The CAUSE of ALL of the maladies existing on Earth is Humanity's distorted and fragmented consciousness based in separation and duality.
This consciousness is the antithesis of Christ Consciousness. It is the opposite of the patterns of Oneness, Divine Love, and Reverence for Life that are encoded within the patterns of perfection for the New Earth.
When every person on Earth has completed his or her Awakening into Christ Consciousness, we will all know that it is impossible to harm any part of Life without harming ourselves and every other facet of Life. With that realization, we will consciously and deliberately operate from the heart space of Oneness and Love. We will open our hearts and minds to the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, and we will find viable, win-win solutions for every situation or challenge.

We are Connected
At this weekend's "Embodied-Mind Performance" seminar in Perth, Australia, with Rodney King and James Woodfield-Jones, I talked about the fact that everything is connected to everything else.
Quantum physics confirms it. Logic proves it. Think about it:
If I'm separate from you (or from anyone or anything), that means SOMETHING IS BETWEEN US (it could be other people, concrete, metal, wood, rope, continents, oceans, air . . . space itself). It makes no difference because . . .
If something is between us, then whatever is between us must be connecting us. Right?
In other words, WHATEVER SEPARATES US, CONNECT US!
On the other hand, if NOTHING is between us, then nothing is separating us, and that means we are together. WE ARE CONNECTED.
So you see, whether something separates us or not . . .

I thought it was worth quickly blogging about how easy it is to upload tens of thousands of the tracks you own to Psonar so that you can listen to them for free at any time, anywhere on any internet-connected device.
Unlike web browser-based uploaders, where you need to manually select each track or folder to upload and additionally leave the browser open for the entire time uploading is in progress, with Psonar, this process is taken care of with the SongShifter, the downloadable app which we've created to both upload and download tracks from your PC, MP3 player, phone or other storage device.
Using the Psonar SongShifter is as simple as this:
- Download & install it
- Step through the simple wizard to tell it where your music is located
- Forget about it!
The SongShifter runs whenever you log in, scans the configured folders and uploads any new music it finds without any intervention from you. You really can just set it and forget it.
Additionally, every time you plug in an external storage device, the SongShifter will also scan it for your music. So you can seamlessly upload and download directly from your iPhone, MP3 player, memory card or other USB device… and configuring these devices is even easier!
We've also developed an alpha version of the SongShifter for both Mac and Linux users. If you'd like to get your hands on it, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lastly, if you haven't already signed up for Psonar, you can do so here and if you need any convincing, here's a video to explain why you should right now.
Happy listening!

Cal Thomas: Groundhog Day: Middle East version
In the film "Groundhog Day," Bill Murray wakes up each morning and relives the previous day.
A similar scenario is playing out in the Middle East between Israel and her enemies. The deadly "movie" always goes like this: Israel is shelled or attacked by terrorists groups, often called "militants" by the media, each one with the same goal: Israel's elimination. After demonstrating considerable restraint of the kind that would never be tolerated by any other nation, Israel fires back.
Suddenly, the world awakens from its indifference. World leaders, who said little when Israeli civilians were wounded and killed, now urge "restraint" by "both sides," as if a moral equivalency exists between victim and predator.
In the run-up to confrontation, it has been reported that Hamas placed weaponry among civilians, hoping that when Israeli airstrikes started they could show photos of dead children, bringing condemnation on Israel. What's more, according to Breitbart.com, "Hamas has a well-established pattern of faking civilian deaths in Gaza, even as it seeks civilian deaths in Israel."
American and foreign TV networks — particularly CNN and BBC — are then brought in to channel the Palestinian line, portraying Israel as the aggressor.
Next comes the hand-wringing and suggestions that Israel must "do more" to, as George W. Bush said in his 2002 Road Map for Peace speech, satisfy the "legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people." In the past when Israel has done more, such as releasing terrorists, or giving up land taken in war to buttress its security, Israel's "do more" has brought it less: less security, less peace and less approval from a world that largely wishes it would disappear. The spineless United Nations urged "all concerned" to "exercise maximum restraint," ignoring Israel's considerable restraint while facing intolerable provocations.
And so the process replays.
Bernard Lewis, the renowned scholar and expert on the history of Islam, was recently aboard a Post-Election Cruise sponsored by National Review magazine, as was I.
Lewis noted that the Cold War featured "mutual assured destruction" (MAD), which served as a deterrent for both the United States and the Soviet Union from using their nuclear weapons against each other. Lewis said for Islamic nations like Iran (which sponsors Hamas in Gaza), "MAD is not a deterrent, but an inducement." That's because, he said, the Iranian regime believes in the apocalyptic end of days in which the 12th Imam — the Islamic "messiah" — will emerge in the midst of a nuclear war with Israel and "save" humanity with Islam the surviving religion.
Lewis argues for regime change in Iran, but urges the West to be cautious in the way it goes about promoting it. Iran, he said, is a nation with a long and proud history. He believes the West must not "give Iran a patriotic excuse" it could use to ignite nationalist passions. Continued...
Young Iranians "hate their rulers," Lewis said, and the message from the West, which should be conveyed to them via social media, should affirm Iran's ancient history and Persian roots. That history, he believes, can be used to overcome the religious fanatics now running the country.
Lewis, who has seen a lot in his nearly 100 years, believes the Middle East will become less important over time. The decline of Arab and Islamic nations, he thinks, will continue as the world discovers new sources for fossil fuels and alternatives to oil, the primary product these countries supply to the world.
As income from oil declines, Lewis believes increased migration, mostly to Europe, but also to the United States, risks changing Western cultures. That could mean that Islamic domination could be achieved through immigration, not war.
In the meantime, Israel is faced with an existential threat, partially of its own making. I argued against the unilateral ceding of Gaza to the Palestinians. It didn't take a prophet to foresee terrorist groups using Gaza to launch attacks against Israeli civilians. If Israel invades Gaza again, there will be more pictures of dead civilians.
But even if a ground effort is successful and Hamas is partially or entirely neutralized, that won't solve the problem.
New terrorists will arrive. The cycle of war will repeat. It's a real-life "Groundhog Day."

Guaranteed for Life
About Us
WeddingRings.net is an online jewelry store specializing in wedding rings and bands. We carry a large inventory of rings and also work with some of the USA's top manufacturers to provide you with factory direct pricing. In addition to a large selection to choose from, we offer very liberal return policies and also offer a Lifetime Replacement Guaranty that is unlike any other jewelry website.
One question we are asked by many customers is 'how can we afford to sell at such low prices?' We are fortunate to have partnered with some of the strongest factories in the USA who allow us to sell direct to consumers. The prices that we offer in our website are very similar to retail jewelry store costs. As we are a small family run business, we are able to keep our profit margins low and sell at much lower prices than our competitors.
What We Offer
If you are looking for precious metal bands in 14K Gold, 18k Gold, Platinum and Palladium, we offer a fine selection of rings that are all made in the USA. And all rings are solid metal. None of our rings are hollowed out. So if you see a ring similar to any ring in our site at a lower price, please double check with the supplier as they may be offering you an inferior product.
Most of the precious metal items we sell are available in in 14K as well as 18K Gold and can typically be made either in one solid color or two-tone variations. And if you love the look of Platinum but may not be able to offer this beautiful metal, talk with us about Palladium.
We are very pleased to offer a very diverse line of alternative metal rings including Tungsten, Titanium, Cobalt, Stainless Steel and Ceramic. One of the most exciting new products is our line of White Tungsten bands. These have the look of Platinum at a fraction of the price. Not only can you have the look of Platinum at a fraction of the price, these rings are scratch resistant, are extremely difficult to break, they maintain their high luster for years, and we back them with our Lifetime Replacement Warranty.
Our Lifetime Replacement Warranty is possibly the most unique warranty that exists. If any of the rings covered by this warranty ever crack, chip, break, warp or get discolored, we will replace it free of charge. If your ring no longer fits properly due to weight loss or weight gain, we will replace it free of charge.
If you are looking for a ring that you have seen in another website, in a jewelry store, in a magazine, or on someone's hand, we can make it for you! We are confident that one of our factories can make any ring out of just about precious metal that your heart desires. How long does this take? In most cases, we can custom produce just about any ring in only 4-6 days.
We offer great quality wedding rings and bands at some of the most competitive prices that can be found and we guarantee our products. If you have any doubts, please call us. We would love to speak with you!

Pickup Drives into Creek Bed
By: Ray Tipton, BrownwoodNews.com
Updated: April 18, 2012
Shortly before 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, the driver and passenger of the vehicle were traveling north on the highway when their Dodge king cab pickup ran off the road and into the ravine of Clear Creek.
The vehicle knocked down several small trees on the side of the highway, went over a concrete ledge, and collided with a concrete drainage wall in the dry creek bed.
The vehicle had to be stabilized with supports as the injured were extricated with the Jaws of Life from the pickup.
Officials on scene said that the airbags did not deploy on the vehicle likely due to it landing sideways in the drainage area.
The AirEvac Lifeteam helicopter arrived to transport the injured by air, but their injuries were determined not to be life-threatening and they were transported by ambulance to Brownwood Regional Medical Center.
According to officials on scene, the injuries included broken bones and bruises.
"It's a testament to seat belts," said Texas Department of Public Safety Cpl. Karl Keesee. "This could have easily been a fatality."
A large tow truck lifted the vehicle from the deep culvert and back onto the highway after the victims were transported.
Winchell Volunteer Fire Department, Brookesmith Volunteer Fire Department, Rescue 1 from Brownwood Fire Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Brown County Sheriff's Office, and Guardian EMS responded to the scene.

Dec. 4, 2012 — Every elected representative comes from somewhere, but a third-generation Lassen County farmer took the oath of office yesterday in Sacramento and now serves as our District 1 Assemblyman in the California state legislature.
Former Lassen County District 4 Supervisor Brian Dahle collected nearly 80 percent of the vote in the November election, handily defeating challenger Rick Bosetti in a hard fought race. The campaign marked the first time in District 1 that two Republicans squared off against each other thanks to a new state law that pits the top two vote getters in the primary election against each other if no one gains more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary.
Lassen County residents have gotten to know Dahle well during his 16 years on the board of supervisors. He first won election in June 1996 at the age of 31, defeating two opponents and garnering 57 percent of the vote. He ran unopposed and won election in the June primaries in 2000, 2004 and 2008. He served as chairman of the board of supervisors in 1998, 2002, 2007 and 2012.
During his tenure on the board, Dahle was instrumental in maintaining a balanced county budget and ensuring the county remained debt free and is not encumbered by long-term debt such as employee retirement benefits.
A staunch defender of the people's rights, Dahle never lost sight of his duty to serve his constituents at the local, regional, state and national levels, serving as the chairman of the Regional Council of Rural Counties, president of the Western Interstate Region of the National Association of Counties (NACO) and as the chairman of the NACO Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee.
The experience Dahle gained through his 16 years of public service and his commitment to the common good in Lassen County will serve the public well as Dahle takes his seat in the state house.
Many of his supporters believe Dahle's experience as a farmer, a businessman and a family man will bring a new, unique and much needed perspective to state government because Dahle can offer common sense solutions to the daunting problems the state faces.
Those of us who live in Lassen County know he is one of us and will represent our interests and the needs of the constituents in his district as he serves in the state legislature.
Blending his responsibility as a supervisor with his desire to start a family, Dahle stepped down from the dais, knelt on one knee and asked Megan Ray to marry him during a meeting in 1998. She said yes.
A tearful Dahle said goodbye to the board of supervisors last week, and District 2 Supervisor Jim Chapman said he was the best supervisor he has worked with during his many years on the board.
We wish Dahle well as he assumes his new responsibilities and expect he will continue to serve the interests and needs of the people of Lassen County and the newly formed 1st Assembly District.
