Alan Rickman received strong reviews for his role as a terrifying literary professor in the 2011 play Seminar, by Theresa Rebeck, but he didn't make the grade for a nomination; neither did Samuel L. Jackson for his performance as Martin Luther King in The Mountaintop. Nominators did not find Matthew Broderick's performance in Nice Work If You Can Get It to be "s'wonderful" enough for a nomination, and neither John Laroquette nor Eric McCormack were found to be "The Best Man" in the play of the same name.
But snubs regarding the Tony Awards have not been one-sided; the silver statue has been snubbed by nominees as well. When nominated for Best Featured Actor for his performance as John Adams in Sherman Edward and Peter Stone's musical 1776, William Daniels refused the nomination on the grounds he was a leading actor in the production. And, perhaps most famously, Julie Andrews declined her nomination as Best Actress in Victor/Victoria because she felt the musical, by Henry Mancini, Blake Edwards and Leslie Bricusse, had been "egregiously overlooked," not receiving any other nominations.

According to the web site of 3VOOR12 (a multimedia platform of the Netherlands Public Broadcasting VPRO for alternative pop), Selim Lemouchi, former frontman of the Dutch occult rock act THE DEVIL'S BLOOD, has died at he age of 34. That news was confirmed by Bidi Drongelen, the band's longtime manager and booking agent, as well as Walter Hoeijmakers, Roadburn Festival founder and organizer. No further details are currently available.
THE DEVIL'S BLOOD called it quits in early 2013. The band's final release, "III: Tabula Rasa Or Death And The Seven Pillars", a collection of unfinished demos recorded at Lemouchi's home studio, was made available last June.

Dark epic metallers Warlord has announced today the temporary replacement of bassist Philip Bynoe due to his involvement with Steve Vai's extended tour. His replacement is bassist-extraordinaire Gary Wehrkamp from the Shadow Gallery fame. Here's the complete press release:
Warlord will see you all on stage.
About a month ago Brian May appeared on UK's Planet Rock radio with an interview. When they asked him to pick his favourite guitar track, his answer was Since You've Been Gone. He proceeded showering praise on both Cozy Powell and Ritchie Blackmore:
I suppose you'd call it 'pop rock' in a sense, but it's uncompromising, you know?You know, people don't talk about Ritchie Blackmore enough. I don't know why, but he was such a trail blazer and technically incredible — unpredictable in every possible way. It's great. That's what you love, isn't it? You go to a gig and you want to see something which is not predictable, which is not like just reproducing. So you never knew what you were gonna see when you went to see Purple, when Blackmore was in it, but also Rainbow. You know, this was his own thing and it was wild and dangerous.

So you never knew what you were gonna see when you went to see Purple, when Blackmore was in it, but also Rainbow. You know, this was his own thing and it was wild and dangerous.
According to Billboard.com, METALLICA's self-titled 1991 album should surpass 16 million copies sold in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, in about three or four months at its current rate of sales (about 2,000 to 3,000 per week).
The set — often referred to as "the black album" — was already certified 16 times platinum on December 13, 2012 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) for shipments in excess of 16 million copies in the U.S.
"Metallica" in 2009 surpassed SHANIA TWAIN's 1997 record, "Come On Over", as the best-selling CD of the SoundScan era.
The RUSH Backstage Club has announced the release of the Rush Rediscovered LP Box Set on April 15th. 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of Rush's debut album. This release features their debut vinyl album re-mastered with impeccable care at Abbey Road studios by Sean McGee, who has been previously responsible for all recent BEATLES vinyl re-masters. The Re-discovered vinyl is encased in a 12 x 12 high quality box. Pressed on audio-phile 200 gram vinyl on the Direct Metal Mastering process, this is the highest quality vinyl currently available. This release contains a re-production of the original 1974 Canadian retail poster (only 500 were ever originally printed) and individual Moon Records publicity photos of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and original drummer John Rutsey. This release also contains a first time ever Rush Family Tree, tracing origins of the band dating back to 1965 and a memorabilia collage of early Canadian and US gig ads, reviews, photos and the first ever Rush bio.
The war of words between Bon Jovi and the band's exiled guitarist Richie Sambora has cooled off over the last several months, but that doesn't mean Sambora has made peace with the idea of the group touring without him.
"At the end of the day, if you're going to buy a can of Coke, you want the real thing," he explained to Melbourne's Herald Sun. Unfortunately, says Sambora, Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi "just has a different mentality" — even though, as he put it, "I know Mick Jagger wouldn't tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones."
Universal has announced that a new remaster of Made in Japan will be released (at least in the UK) on May 19, 2014. It will come in three gabazillions of different CD, vinyl, blu-ray, and download formats, which we will try to summarize here.
Let's see what they have in store to entice us to buy it all over again.

Report: State agencies spent $556,000 to lobby Michigan LegislatureBy Associated Press
LANSING (AP) — About $556,000 in taxpayer money was used by state government agencies to lobby the Michigan Legislature in 2012, according to a newspaper's analysis. The money equates to staff time spent helping advance the interests of those agencies or the governor, the Lansing State Journal reported Sunday. It's the highest figure reported since 2001, the earliest year for which reports are available online through the secretary of state's office. "There's nothing insidious here. There's no wining and dining of lawmakers," Snyder spokesman Kurt Weiss said. "It's listening to hearings at the Capitol, talking with lawmakers. Every administration has a staff that does that." The money is 1.5 percent of the $36.6 million spent overall on lobbying in Michigan last year. By comparison, 93 percent of that overall total was reported by special interest groups, companies and public relations businesses, whose purpose is to influence public policy. The margin between private sector and government lobbying has been consistent over the years. Snyder's executive office reported $96,000 on lobbying expenses in each of 2011 and 2012, Weiss said. That figure reflects a portion of the salaries for Snyder's deputy directors of legislative affairs. They monitor bills as they move through the House and Senate and work with lawmakers to advance Snyder's priorities, he said. Some state officials are reluctant to call such staffers lobbyists, however. "We're more of a resource for the Legislature, and the executive office also, in providing detail, specific background and expertise they may need," said Martin Ackley, the Michigan Department of Education's director of governmental affairs. The state's lobbying efforts last year included advancing a K-12 education proposal that could allow the state to take over Michigan's most underperforming schools. The Education Achievement Authority currently operates in Detroit but could expand. Last year, the EAA retained a Lansing-based firm to lobby on its behalf. In a report filed with the secretary of state, the EAA reported $35,000 in lobbying expenses. EAA Chancellor John Covington said lobbying money was spent working with lawmakers to revise legislation that would have codified the expansion. Over the past 12 years, total reported lobbying expenses from state agencies have been as little as $190,700 in 2003, when Democrat Jennifer Granholm was governor. Related Content:

International Student Services
Maintaining Full-time Status
International Student Services >Student Immigration
MAINTAINING F-1 VISA STATUS Below are guidelines that international students should follow to make sure their F-1 status remains valid. Although other situations not mentioned here may lead to the loss of status, following these guidelines will help you to avoid many unnecessary problems. 1) Enrollment. Must be full-time each semester. Full-time enrollment is to enroll and complete 12 units each semester for undergraduate and 8 hours for graduate students. For immigration purposes, students may not drop below 12 units per semester (W's do not count towards the 12 units). No more than the equivalent of one online course per semester may be taken. An online course is defined as 100% technology based. BGSU courses that are considered online courses for the purposed of this regulation are defined in the Instruction Mode of the course catalog as 100% online are listed as "Distance Learning". (a) If you do need to enroll for less than full-time, there are some limited situations in which you may. Please fill out the Petition for Authorization to Drop Below a Full Course Load at this link 2) I-20 Document expiration and validity. Request an "Extension of Stay" of your I-20 if your completion date will expire, 60 days prior to expiration. The completion date can be found in item #5 of your I-20 form. 3) Keep your address up-to-date at all time 4) On campus employment. Limit employment to 20 hours per week during the academic year while maintaining I-20 full-time status. 5) Off campus employment. Do not work off campus without permission. Work permission for F-1 is difficult to obtain unless authorized by USCIS. 6) Attend the school noted on I-20. You must have a current, valid I-20 from the school you are attending. If you transfer to or from another school, see below. 7) Transferring schools. If you transfer to another school, you must obtain an I-20 from that school. 8) Passport. Keep it valid at all times. If your passport will expire within the next six months, call your home country's embassy in the U.S. to find out how to extend the validity. 9) Keep an updated address at BGSU Admissions and the CIP. 10) Keep updated health insurance.

Former Boston University defenseman Colby Cohen, acquired from Colorado last week in exchange for Matt Hunwick, has a cast on his right wrist and is expected to be out for at least three weeks, according to coach Rob Murray.
In practice last week, Cohen aggravated a wrist injury that he originally suffered while playing for Lake Erie.
Cohen skated after practice but can't do any shooting or puck-handling.
In his first practice in Providence, Jordan Caron played alongside center Joe Colborne and right wing David Ling this morning.
"They wanted me to play more and get some power-play time,'' Caron said after the workout. "They want me to play more in an offensive role than I did in Boston. They have such a deep offense, it was hard for me to get an offensive role, so they want me to come here and play hard and help the team win games.''
Caron had 3-4-7 scoring numbers and was plus-4 in 20 games in Boston. He averaged 13:17 in ice time.
He scored his first NHL goal against Martin Brodeur on Oct. 16.
"It was great to be able to get a few goals up there, but that's over now and I'm here. I just want to contribute to the team and, hopefully, get a few here, too.''
The P-Bruins have a lot of players, which could lead to some personnel moves by the end of the week.
Tuesday's lines:
Gold: Caron-Colborne-Ling
Maroon: Smotherman-Hamill-MacGrattan
White: MacDonald-Sauve-Reich
Gray: Nelson-Whitfield-Knackstedt
Blue: MacDermid-Roussel-LoVecchio
Wyatt Smith skipped practice to be with his wife, who is due to have the couple's second child soon.

Footprint of Communism, lovely Old Town.
We had a busy two days in Bratislava and the whole time we were there the temperatures were climbing! You may have seen the weather for Europe at the moment, basically the red bit under the heat warning is where we are at the moment - and it is supposed to be hotter still in Budapest!

No walking tour for me thanks; I went to a large museum instead, mainly to get out of the heat. After that there was nothing else to do than to go back to the hostel and have a sleep. However I managed to see some interesting things though.

The 2013 rookie class may not have Mike Trout or Bryce Harper, but this is still a strong first-year group with the potential to make an impact this season. Trout's season spoiled what many expected from rookies, but the players below are the types of lottery tickets we all chase on draft day hoping for a big prize.
Talent does not always win out because opportunity is king with the rookies. If a very talented rookie finds himself behind a crowded 25-man roster, that player will not have the opportunity to showcase his skills. Worse yet for fantasy players, that player will have less of an opportunity to earn the return on investment they had in mind for that player when they spent the pick or the dollars at the draft table. This is where Trout's 2012 season can be a double-whammy as players will look at 2013 rookies and wonder why they did not do more. Additionally, owners will be more courageous in reaching for rookies in the draft further reaching into Pandora's box.
Here are six names from each league that should compete for Rookie of the Year honors.
Jurickson Profar (Texas): By press time, hopefully the Rangers will have either convinced Ian Kinsler to move to the outfield or have traded someone on the infield to get another starting pitcher. If neither happen, then it is tough to envision a clear path to 450 plate appearances for the talented infielder. His chances at the award are good with full playing time since he is even better in the field than he is at the plate.
Wil Myers (Tampa Bay): Myers is coming off a monster season in the minor leagues in which he was named the Player of the Year by Baseball America. Sure, he struck out 140 times, but he was also just 21 years old and facing Triple-A pitching for a good portion of the season. The only question with Myers is when he will reach the majors as the Rays will slow his roll if the youngster does not work out a deal similar to what Evan Longoria did in 2008.
Trevor Bauer (Cleveland): Bauer gets a fresh start for a team that is not expected to compete in its division. Bauer butted heads with people in Arizona but one has to assume Cleveland is going to let him do what made him successful in college and work on tweaking his delivery a bit rather than trying to change everything Bauer does. Bauer will also get to pitch in one of the easier divisions in baseball.
Mike Olt (Texas): Like Profar, it is not quite clear yet where Olt is going to play. He should see time at first base as well as DH, or could even end up playing some corner outfield. Olt was overmatched in his brief callup, but that came after the Rangers skipped him over Triple-A deciding that his .288/.398/.579 slash line in Double-A was good enough. Olt is a dual threat in that he can hit and pick it in the field and a power bat in Texas is always worth following closely.
Nick Franklin (Seattle): The shortstop saw a lot of time at second base in the Arizona Fall League which hinted at what the Mariners have in store for Franklin in 2013. Dustin Ackley has not set the world on fire at second base and while Brendan Ryan has been an amazing defender at short, the bat is very limited. The Mariners clearly want Franklin at the big league level, but his work is not done. He had a good AFL and hit well in Double-A but had issues adjusting to more experienced pitchers after a promotion to Triple-A.
Mike Zunino (Seattle): Zunino had an amazing professional debut. It was only 190 plate appearances, but his .360/.447/.689 slash line was amazing. The catching depth chart in Seattle now has multiple defensively-challenged catchers with Zunino joining Jesus Montero. Even though Zunino has only seen 15 games in the advanced minors, it would not surprise anyone to see him up no later than June to stay and make an impact with Seattle.
Billy Hamilton (Cincinnati): Hamilton is the ultimate wildcard because there is no clear path for him. The Reds re-signed Ryan Ludwick and traded for Shin-Soo Choo's OBP abilities to join Jay Bruce in the outfield. Hamilton has played both short and second in the minors, but everyone sees him as a center fielder. He could be a late callup and still make an impact on the Reds and fantasy rosters, or he could spend five months in Triple-A and get called up on August 31 so that he is eligible for the playoffs.
Oscar Taveras (St. Louis): Taveras is also blocked by an outfield of Matt Holliday, Jon Jay, and Carlos Beltran, but health is in play here as both cornermen have had their struggles with injuries in the past. Taveras is arguably the most complete hitter in the minor leagues and may not need much time in Triple-A. He skipped over High-A last year and showed no ill effects in Double-A hitting .321 with a .953 OPS.
Zack Wheeler (Mets): The Mets will not be a contender in 2013 which should allow for Wheeler to see significant time for the team save any workload limits they may put him on. Wheeler has the chance to be something special for the Mets and could make fans forgive ownership for their roster management rather quickly. Wheeler is legitimately a future staff ace and those do not just grow on trees.
Shelby Miller (St. Louis): His cup of coffee late last season was entertaining as he continued the dominance he displayed in Triple-A. Miller's ERA was high in the minors last season, but the Pacific Coast League will do that to a guy. Focus on the 160 strikeouts in just 136 innings for the kind of upside Miller could provide in 2013 if he can work his way into the Cardinals' rotation.
Travis d'Arnaud (Mets): The Mets traded both of their catchers to the Jays in the Dickey deal so John Buck and d'Arnaud will share those duties in 2013. D'Arnaud offers good offensive upside from a position desperate for it most of the time. Mets fans may not like trading the defending Cy Young winner, but prospects like d'Arnaud are rarely made available for trade on the precipice of their major league career.
Tyler Skaggs (Diamondbacks): Skaggs has a clearer path to the Arizona rotation with Bauer now in Cleveland. Some even said they preferred Skaggs over Bauer long term, and in him, Arizona has a talented insurance policy for their rotation. Skaggs will almost certainly go back to Reno to start the season, but only three of the five starters for Arizona last season threw more than 130 innings so the opportunities should be there for Skaggs to make an impact in 2013.

Slobodan Milosevic and the Fire of Nationalism
This paper is an attempt to understand the Milosevic regime in Serbia. I focus on nationalism, ethnic cleansing and war, especially on the most recent war with NATO. I first look at how its behaviour has typically been understood in the popular press and in the light of the most prominent social science theories. I then suggest a different approach based on my model of dictatorship. The basic argument is simple: First, like any dictator, Milosevic needs support in order to survive in office. His provocative and warlike actions towards other groups are best understood, not as the latest round in a centuries-old tradition of ethnic fighting, but as the attempts of a competitive politician trying to survive in a situation where the old bases of power have collapsed. Second, in attempting to survive the wave of democratization that swept Eastern Europe after 1989, Milosevic played a wild card - the nationalist card. Nationalism can be wild because, under some circumstances, it is contagious. Especially when combined with the security dilemma, it can spread uncontrollably. Ethnic cleansing and war are seen in this light as neither deliberate, coldly planned strategies of brutal repression, nor the results of complete miscalculation, but the results of a process in which the leadership of the regime was reacting to events which it may have set in motion, but did not entirely control.Download Info

This is why I don't believe in ghosts: if they existed, they wouldn't float down the hallway weeping or make the walls drip with blood – they'd wake you up, whisper "come here" and bore you with a story about how little Jimmy used to sit in front of the window, here, and wait for the mailman when he sent away his boxtops for something. That's the stuff ghosts would want you to know about.
I think he's right.

Swami Vivekananda's grip over meditation (dhyana) was visible from his early childhood. In his childhood he observed the elder members of his family worshipping and meditating. He too used to spend time in worshipping and meditating in front of idols of Hindu gods and goddesses such as Shiva, Rama, Krishna.
Photograph of Swami Vivekananda 1885, Calcutta Image source: Wikimedia Commons |
One evening Narendra and I were meditating under a mango tree at the Cossipore garden house. I was about to enter into a deep concentration when the mosquitoes began to disturb me. I tried to slap them away, but the continued attacking me. I opened my eyes and found Narendra in a lotus posture. I did not want to leave the place without him. I called him but got no response; then I gently touched him, with no response either. I noticed his body was covered with mosquitoes like a blanket. I was amazed by his lack of body-consciousness, but frightened because he did not respond.We have already seen Vivekananda had interest in meditation in his childhood. Actual he had the same interest for meditation throughout his life. He meditated for few hours on 4 July 1902 too, the day he died.
Vivekananda's observation and suggestion was— "Meditation is the one thing. Meditate! The greatest thing is meditation. It is the nearest approach to spiritual life — the mind meditating. It is the one moment in our daily life that we are not at all material — the Soul thinking of Itself, free from all matter — this marvellous touch of the Soul!"[Source]
In this post we'll make a collection of Swami Vivekananda's quotes, comments, and opinions on meditation (dhyana). Related articles are listed at the bottom of the page.
Swami Vivekananda stressed on practising meditation as it brings one closer to another and increases the power of mind. He understood the prominent role of concentration of mind in the acquisition of wisdom. He said— "concentration is the essence of all knowledge". He was responsible for introducing the Western world to meditation and Yoga.Swami Vivekananda more quotes on Meditation
- First, meditation should be of a negative nature. Think away everything. Analyse everything that comes in the mind by the sheer action of the will. Next, assert what we really are—existence, knowledge, and bliss—being, knowing, and loving.[Source]
- Holy meditation helps to burn out all mental impurities.[Source]
- "I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher." That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
- In real meditation you forget the body. You may be cut to pieces and not feel it at all. You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
- Just as I sit down to meditate, all the vilest subjects in the world come up. The whole thing is nauseating. Why should the mind think thoughts I do not want it to think? I am as it were a slave to the mind. [Source]
- Meditation is a sort of prayer and prayer is meditation. The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain one moment without thought, great power will come.[Source]
- Meditation is the means of unification of the subject and object. Meditate.[Source]
- Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
- Meditation, you know, comes by a process imagination. You go through all these processes purification of the elements — making the one melt the other, that into the next higher, that into mind, that into spirit, and then you are spirit.[Source]
- Meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness. The animal has its happiness in the senses, the man in his intellect, and the god in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful. To him who desires nothing, and does not mix himself up with them, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.
Not even the deepest sleep
will give you such a rest as meditation can.
—Swami VivekanandaImage source: Wikimedia Commons- Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.[Source]
- Self-realization is to be attained by renunciation, by meditation—renunciation of all the senses, cutting the knots, the chains that bind us down to matter.
- The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
- The power of meditation gets us everything. If you want to get power over nature, [you can have it through meditation]. It is through the power of meditation all scientific facts are discovered today. They study the subject and forget everything, their own identity and everything, and then the great fact comes like a flash. Some people think that is inspiration. There is no more inspiration than there is expiration; and never was anything got for nothing.[Source]
- Thought ceases in meditation; even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.[Source]
- To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea. That realization is to be attained by renunciation, by meditation—renunciation of all the senses, cutting the knots, the chains that bind us down to matter.
- Try a little harder, and meditation comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system. Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as that.
- Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work.
- Work a little harder at meditation and it comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system.
Controlling the mind
From Swami Vivekananda's Raja Yoga, Chapter: Pratyahara And Dharana—[Source]
How hard it is to control the mind! Well has it been compared to the maddened monkey. There was a monkey, restless by his own nature, as all monkeys are. As if that were not enough some one made him drink freely of wine, so that he became still more restless. Then a scorpion stung him. When a man is stung by a scorpion, he jumps about for a whole day; so the poor monkey found his condition worse than ever. To complete his misery a demon entered into him. What language can describe the uncontrollable restlessness of that monkey? The human mind is like that monkey, incessantly active by its own nature; then it becomes drunk with the wine of desire, thus increasing its turbulence. After desire takes possession comes the sting of the scorpion of jealousy at the success of others, and last of all the demon of pride enters the mind, making it think itself of all importance. How hard to control such a mind!
What is meditation?
When the mind has been trained to remain fixed on a certain internal or external location, there comes to it the power of flowing in an unbroken current, as it were, towards that point. This state is called Dhyana.
—Swami Vivekananda
Image source: Wikimedia Commons |
What is meditation? Meditation is the power which enables us to resist all this. Nature may call us, "Look there is a beautiful thing!" I do not look. Now she says, "There is a beautiful smell; smell it! " I say to my nose, "Do not smell it", and the nose doesn't. "Eyes, do not see!" Nature does such an awful thing - kills one of my children, and says, "Now, rascal, sit down and weep! Go to the depths!" I say, "I don't have to." I jump up. I must be free. Try it sometimes. ... [In meditation], for a moment, you can change this nature. Now, if you had that power in yourself, would not that be heaven, freedom? That is the power of meditation.[Source]While discussing Dhyana and Samadhi (Raja Yoga) Vivekananda told—
"When the mind has been trained to remain fixed on a certain internal or external location, there comes to it the power of flowing in an unbroken current, as it were, towards that point. This state is called Dhyana.
These ideas have to be understood in Dhyana, or meditation. We hear a sound. First, there is the external vibration; second, the nerve motion that carries it to the mind; third, the reaction from the mind, along with which flashes the knowledge of the object which was the external cause of these different changes from the ethereal vibrations to the mental reactions. These three are called in Yoga, Shabda (sound), Artha (meaning), and Jnâna (knowledge). In the language of physics and physiology they are called the ethereal vibration, the motion in the nerve and brain, and the mental reaction. Now these, though distinct processes, have become mixed up in such a fashion as to become quite indistinct. In fact, we cannot now perceive any of these, we only perceive their combined effect, what we call the external object. Every act of perception includes these three, and there is no reason why we should not be able to distinguish them."[Source]
When, by the previous preparations, it becomes strong and controlled, and has the power of finer perception, the mind should be employed in meditation. This meditation must begin with gross objects and slowly rise to finer and finer, until it becomes objectless. The mind should first be employed in perceiving the external causes of sensations, then the internal motions, and then its own reaction. When it has succeeded in perceiving the external causes of sensations by themselves, the mind will acquire the power of perceiving all fine material existences, all fine bodies and forms. When it can succeed in perceiving the motions inside by themselves, it will gain the control of all mental waves, in itself or in others, even before they have translated themselves into physical energy; and when he will be able to perceive the mental reaction by itself, the Yogi will acquire the knowledge of everything, as every sensible object, and every thought is the result of this reaction. Then will he have seen the very foundations of his mind, and it will be under his perfect control.[Source]
Environment for meditation
From Swami Vivekananda's book Raja Yoga, Chapter: The First Steps—[Source]
Those of you who can afford it will do better to have a room for this practice alone. Do not sleep in that room, it must be kept holy. You must not enter the room until you have bathed, and are perfectly clean in body and mind. Place flowers in that room always; they are the best surroundings for a Yogi; also pictures that are pleasing. Burn incense morning and evening. Have no quarrelling, nor anger, nor unholy thought in that room. Only allow those persons to enter it who are of the same thought as you. Then gradually there will be an atmosphere of holiness in the room, so that when you are miserable, sorrowful, doubtful, or your mind is disturbed, the very fact of entering that room will make you calm. This was the idea of the temple and the church, and in some temples and churches you will find it even now, but in the majority of them the very idea has been lost. The idea is that by keeping holy vibrations there the place becomes and remains illumined. Those who cannot afford to have a room set apart can practice anywhere they like.
How to meditate?
Vivekananda taught "how to meditate" too. In a lecture delivered at San Francisco on 5 April 1900, he told—First, to sit in the posture In which you can sit still for a long time. All the nerve currents which are working pass along the spine. The spine is not intended to support the weight of the body. Therefore the posture must be such that the weight of the body is not on the spine. Let it be free from all pressure.[Source]From Swami Vivekananda's book Raja Yoga, Chapter: The First Steps—[Source]
Sit in a straight posture, and the first thing to do is to send a current of holy thought to all creation. Mentally repeat, "Let all beings be happy; let all beings be peaceful; let all beings be blissful." So do to the east, south, north and west. The more you do that the better you will feel yourself. You will find at last that the easiest way to make ourselves healthy is to see that others are healthy, and the easiest way to make ourselves happy is to see that others are happy. After doing that, those who believe in God should pray — not for money, not for health, nor for heaven; pray for knowledge and light; every other prayer is selfish. Then the next thing to do is to think of your own body, and see that it is strong and healthy; it is the best instrument you have. Think of it as being as strong as adamant, and that with the help of this body you will cross the ocean of life. Freedom is never to be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.In the book Raja Yoga, he wrote—
Dhyana (Meditation) is spoken of, and a few examples are given of what to meditate upon. Sit straight, and look at the tip of your nose. Later on we shall come to know how that concentrates the mind, how by controlling the two optic nerves one advances a long way towards the control of the arc of reaction, and so to the control of the will. Here are a few specimens of meditation. Imagine a lotus upon the top of the head, several inches up, with virtue as its centre, and knowledge as its stalk. The eight petals of the lotus are the eight powers of the Yogi. Inside, the stamens and pistils are renunciation. If the Yogi refuses the external powers he will come to salvation. So the eight petals of the lotus are the eight powers, but the internal stamens and pistils are extreme renunciation, the renunciation of all these powers. Inside of that lotus think of the Golden One, the Almighty, the Intangible, He whose name is Om, the Inexpressible, surrounded with effulgent light. Meditate on that. Another meditation is given. Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart. Chastity, non-injury, forgiving even the greatest enemy, truth, faith in the Lord, these are all different Vrittis. Be not afraid if you are not perfect in all of these; work, they will come. He who has given up all attachment, all fear, and all anger, he whose whole soul has gone unto the Lord, he who has taken refuge in the Lord, whose heart has become purified, with whatsoever desire he comes to the Lord, He will grant that to him. Therefore worship Him through knowledge, love, or renunciation.[Source]
In the Alameda lecture (details above), Vivekananda suggested one should train (her/him)self slowly gradually. One needs to practise meditation on a regular basis.[Source]
How is it to be attained? In a dozen different ways. Each temperament has its own way. But this is the general principle: get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and every stone that drops into it raises waves. These waves do not let us see what we are. The full moon is reflected in the water of the lake, but the surface is so disturbed that we do not see the reflection clearly. Let it be calm. Do not let nature raise the wave. Keep quiet, and then after a little while she will give you up. Then we know what we are. God is there already, but the mind is so agitated, always running after the senses. You close the senses and [yet] you whirl and whirl about. Just this moment I think I am all right and I will meditate upon God, and then my mind goes to London in one minute. And if I pull it away from there, it goes to New York to think about the things I have done there in the past. These [waves] are to be stopped by the power of meditation.
Slowly and gradually we are to train ourselves. It is no joke — not a question of a day, or years, or maybe of births. Never mind! The pull must go on. Knowingly, voluntarily, the pull must go on. Inch by inch we will gain ground. We will begin to feel and get real possessions, which no one can take away from us — the wealth that no man can take, the wealth that nobody can destroy, the joy that no misery can hurt any more. ...
Meditation — the greatest help to spiritual life
From a lecture of Swamiji delivered at the Home of Truth, Los Angeles, California—[Source]
The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation (Dhyâna). In meditation we divest ourselves of all material conditions and feel our divine nature. We do not depend upon any external help in meditation. The touch of the soul can paint the brightest colour even in the dingiest places; it can cast a fragrance over the vilest thing; it can make the wicked divine — and all enmity, all selfishness is effaced. The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down. It is attachment, identification, which makes us miserable. That is the secret: To think that I am the spirit and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings — scenes on a canvas — of which I am the witness.
You yourself will be the object of your meditation
From Complete Works Volume VII—[Source]You yourself will be the object of your meditation. Think and meditate that you are the omnipresent Atman. "I am neither the body, nor the mind, nor the Buddhi (determinative faculty), neither the gross nor the subtle body"-- by this process of elimination, immerse your mind in the transcendent knowledge which is your real nature. Kill the mind by thus plunging it repeatedly in this. Then only you will realise the Essence of Intelligence, or be established in your real nature. Knower and known, meditator and the object meditated upon will then become one, and the cessation of all phenomenal superimpositions will follow. This is styled in the Shastras as the transcendence of the triad or relative knowledge (Triputibheda). There is no relative or conditioned knowledge in this state. When the Atman is the only knower, by what means can you possibly know It? The Atman is Knowledge, the Atman is Intelligence, the Atman is Sachchidananda. It is through the inscrutable power of Maya, which cannot be indicated as either existent or non - existent, that the relative consciousness has come upon the Jiva who is none other than Brahman. This is generally known as the conscious state. And the state in which this duality of relative existence becomes one in the pure Brahman is called in the scriptures the superconscious state and described in such words as, "[(Sanskrit)]-- it is like an ocean perfectly at rest and without a name" (Vivekachudamani, 410).
Meditation is the gate of infinite joy
Meditation is the gate that opens that (infinite joy) to us. Prayers, ceremonials, and all the other forms of worship are simply kindergartens of meditation. You pray, you offer something. A certain theory existed that everything raised one's spiritual power. The use of certain words, flowers, images, temples, ceremonials like the waving of lights brings the mind to that attitude, but that attitude is always in the human soul, nowhere else. [People] are all doing it; but what they do without knowing it, do knowingly. That is the power of meditation. All knowledge you have — how did it come? From the power of meditation. The soul churned the knowledge out of its own depths. What knowledge was there ever outside of it? In the long run this power of meditation separates ourselves from the body, and then the soul knows itself as it is — the unborn, the deathless, and birthless being. No more is there any misery, no more births upon this earth, no more evolution. [The soul knows itself as having] ever been perfect and free.[Source]

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams

Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It's kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.

With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.
Otto Von Bismarck
One has to reach to the absolute state of awareness: that is Zen. You cannot do it every morning for a few minutes or for half an hour and then forget all about it. It has to become like your heartbeat. You have to sit in it, you have to walk in it. Yes, you have even to sleep in it.
Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

A thousand cups of wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds
Chinese proverb
One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: You will outlive the bastards.

Best way to see if you're poison capped is to open the spell tab in your character stats section and check your SPELL hit. To be poison capped that needs to be 18% in total.
I'm still not quite there, however I believe it's ~1100 hit rating with 3/3 Precision. (Please don't hold me to that as that's just me seeing that I get ~.01% spell hit per HR and being 1.54% off the cap, personally)

At Cup Cakes Lingerie, we know that a well fitting, supportive bra is important at any time in your life, but for pregnant and nursing women it is absolutely essential to your well being. During pregnancy your rib cage expands and your cup on average will increase by between two and four sizes. We recommend that you be fitted for a maternity bra by a trained bra fitter in your fourth month of pregnancy.
Cup Cakes Lingerie offers a free personalised maternity bra fitting service. In order to fit our customers we don't use a measuring tape, because this method is too simplistic to allow for every woman's shape. Our trained staff will assess how your current bra fits you and then adjust the size as necessary.
At the fourth month, your maternity bra should be fit on the tightest back clasp, to allow for expansion of your rib cage during your pregnancy. You should be then refitted for your nursing bras one month prior to your due date. At this point your bras should be fit on the loosest clasp as your rib cage will shrink after the birth.
If, however, dropping in to us for a professional fitting isn't possible for you, follow our simple steps or view our guide by Cake Lingerie to find your perfect fit:
- Breasts can be tender during pregnancy/nursing and the soft structure and excellent support of the maternity and nursing bras selected by Cup Cakes Lingerie ensures a comfortable fit
- Ensure the health of your breasts during maternity/nursing. It is important that your maternity and nursing bras don't put pressure on your milk ducts as this can lead to blocked ducts and infection. But that doesn't mean you have to opt for a non-underwired bra, for those who prefer an under-wired cup, Cup Cakes Lingerie also offers a range of flexiwire maternity and nursing bras which are designed to offer the support of a wire without placing pressure on the milk ducts
- Improves your posture
- Enhances your silhouette
- Take a dress size off your appearance if you reduce your band size
- Reduces risk of back problems
- Strengthens the coopers ligaments in your breast tissue
