Absolutely. This is the major problem with FRBR and its user tasks that supposedly, everything is based upon: I don't think anybody would ever say that the FRBR user tasks are what people want and/or need in the current information environment. Nobody has ever pointed to any research that shows FRBR builds a tool that users want. If anybody questions themselves about their own searching habits, I doubt if anybody will say that what I really want and need are the FRBR user tasks. This doesn't mean that people no longer need to be able to: find "stuff" by their authors, titles, and subjects, but we need to recognize the startling fact that in era of "Google-one-box" services, the very idea of being able to limit a search by "author" or "title" or "subject" is becoming lost. And people on this list know what I think of the use and even artificiality of "Work-Expression-Manifestation-Item," which have no relationship to user tasks (except for those very rare users who need the 1917 Harper's edition of Huckleberry Finn; but let's face it--if somebody needs that level of detail, they probably need more information than what a regular library catalog gives them). And anyway, full-text searching has made clear that people want and expect many other powers as well.
But on a broader level, if we define a catalog as an "aid for finding different resources that exist within a local collection," I think this needs to change because now with the web, where people can see a lot more than ever before, the "local collection" is necessarily limiting from the very beginning. And our users see it clearly. Much more useful for our patrons would be for everyone who feeds into the catalog (i.e. those who select materials for cataloging, plus those who do the actual cataloging itself) to think in broader terms than a "local catalog," envisioning something more akin to a "bibliography."
In this way, selection turns into something other than, "what is being paid for and/or housed in my individual collection and other institutions where I have a special relationship" into "what are the useful materials available to the members of my local community no matter where they happen to be and if they are free or not."
Showing people what is really and truly available to them and not just what is in a local collection is what I mean by thinking in terms of "bibliography" which is not limited to any one collection. Only when you know what is really out there can the individual or institution decide if it is worth the costs of getting access to it. One major step further in this direction would be to create an "annotated bibliography," and this could be done easily enough with Web2.0 tools.
Making such a tool would simply be too much for librarians to do alone, and we would have to enlist the help of scholars, teachers and other experts for the task of selection; for that of description, access, and record maintenance, we would need lots of other help. Of course, we would have to rethink our current standards into what could be done practically to ensure some standards of quality in these records that must be built cooperatively with many other communities out there.
For example, what is the purpose of the "bibliographic description" when the item itself is instantly available with a simple click? While I don't doubt there is a purpose, it must be seen as fundamentally different from the purpose of the ISBD standard for a book that is available only after trudging through the stacks, or after spending two days retrieving it from an annex location off-site, or through a very expensive ILL that involves both staff time and funding from a number of agencies.
Using a tool such as this would probably demand all different kinds of interfaces: one for novices, another for experts, or perhaps even by specialty: for classicists, for architects, for physicists, ...
To me, viewing the problem in these ways would represent a real "maturing" of the local catalog into something greater than it is now, and would create a tool that would become vital to our users, and I think rather quickly.

Place of Birth
During a recent interview, Buff Bagwell was asked about John Cena, and he stated that he could have been just as big as Cena had WWE given him the exact same push. He also noted that Cena was not as good as guys like Sting, Goldberg, Steve Austin and the Rock. Bagwell feels that Cena is simply at the right place at the right time.
March 10, 2014
Since the former world heavyweight champion does not have a program to work with right now, there are talks within WWE of having Big Show being the one to elevate the debuting Alexander Rusev. Management wants to give the developmental wrestler a nice push after Wrestlemania 30, and Show would be able to provide him with some credibility right off the bat.
March 7, 2014
While he will unlikely ever receive a big push again, Curtis Axel is being praised backstage in WWE because of the way that he has been handling his demotion. Management stuck him into a tag team with Ryback and has not given them much to work with, but Axel remains a professional who comes to work every day.
March 7, 2014
With CM Punk no longer with the company, the plan moving forward for WWE is to push John Cena and Daniel Bryan as the top two baby faces. No word yet on which one of them will be the top guy or the champion. Some were under the impression that Roman Reigns would be elevated into one of the top two spots once he does his face turn and leaves Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins behind.
March 6, 2014
Since management is planning to give him a nice push, Sam Shaw is expected to go over Mr Anderson at the TNA Lockdown 2014 pay per view. Management feels that Anderson has enough credibility to provide Shaw. Plus, Anderson is coming off of a big win against Bully Ray in their feud, so he will not be losing too much heat by putting someone else over.
March 6, 2014
In order to kick start his big push, there are talks backstage in WWE of putting the Intercontinental Championship on Antonio Cesaro at Wrestlemania 30, where he is rumored to be working a triple threat match against Big E Langston and Jack Swagger. A much anticipated face turn is also supposed to help get things going as well.
March 5, 2014
While a lot of fans were under the impression that his win on Monday Night Raw might have signaled an escape from the dog house, there does not appear to be much of a chance of seeing a Dolph Ziggler push any time soon. He and Alberto Del Rio were basically just chosen to do a match to help guest star Aaron Paul promote his movie.
March 4, 2014
While it has not been officially confirmed yet, it appears that WWE is leaning towards doing a match between Christian and Sheamus at Wrestlemania 30. Management definitely wanted Sheamus on the card, as they still view him as a high priority within the company. There was a strong push to give Christian a spot on the card, as this might be his last one.
February 28, 2014
While many are hoping that he eventually makes it to the main event level in WWE, there are those backstage that feel that his push needs to be drawn out, in order to prevent backlash from fans. Since management wants to go slow, there is a chance that they could feed him a low level baby face, such as Zack Ryder or R Truth, in his debut feud.
February 28, 2014
"I thought it was awesome. I love the kid. He was having the time of his life because he was a fan of all of us. So he couldn't wait for the Vader Bomb or the Diamond Cutter. I mean he loved it. And he's a good kid, he's a damn good worker. I hope at some point he actually gets the push. He could back it up because he can talk and he can work." - Diamond Dallas Page on how Heath Slater is backstage
February 27, 2014
There are some concerns within WWE right now that Jake Roberts might not be able to attend his hall of fame induction during Wrestlemania 30. Doctors are doing further tests to see what type of cancer he has. While he is trying to keep his spirits up, he does not feel like talking to people or being in public during this tough time.
March 8, 2014
During a recent interview, Diamond Dallas Page revealed that he has been filming a movie about the life of Jake Roberts. He noted that the project began approximately 18 months ago, and filming will conclude at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony during Wrestlemania 30. There is a chance that the film could be released later on this year.
March 7, 2014
One of the reasons why Diamond Dallas Page has been so willing to help Jake Roberts rehabilitate his life is because the veteran performer was the one that actually helped him get into professional wrestling after he had initially failed to do so. A chance meeting between the two led to DDP being able to secure a contract with the AWA.
March 7, 2014
While the heavily speculated hall of fame induction has yet to be announced by WWE, Sean Waltman has been telling fans as of late that he would be at Wrestlemania 30 to induct his good friend Scott Hall. The company is still trying to decide on his inclusion, as the class already includes Jake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior, Lita and Paul Bearer.
March 7, 2014
The latest wrestler to jump on the stand up comedy bandwagon is Diamond Dallas Page. He is currently doing shows throughout Europe. DDP joins guys like Mick Foley, Jim Ross, Dolph Ziggler and William Regal in making the jump from the wrestling ring to the stage. He is still hoping to induct Jake Roberts into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30.
March 5, 2014
Details are being leaked about the surgery that Jake Roberts had earlier this week to remove cancer from his knee. The operation itself lasted approximately five hours. Doctors are concerned because they are not quite sure what type of cancer it is. However, they do believe that they were able to remove it during the early stages.
February 28, 2014
Since he played an integral part in turning around the life of the legendary Jake Roberts, it has long been speculated that Diamond Dallas Page would be the one to induct him into the WWE hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30. Well, a press release issued by the company today has confirmed those speculations. DDP will also be doing yoga at the event.
February 27, 2014
Over the weekend, wrestling fans were devastated to learn that Jake Roberts was diagnosed with cancer in his knee. He helped alleviate a lot of the concerns by staying positive and vowing to defeat the disease. On Tuesday, he will be taking even further steps to conquer cancer by going in for surgery to have it removed.
February 24, 2014
After turning his life around to the point where WWE has agreed to induct him into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, Jake Roberts has received some very bad news. His doctors have informed him that he indeed does have cancer. The legendary performer has a tumor behind his knee, and it has been spreading to his muscles.
February 23, 2014
For years now, Jake Roberts has been the professional wrestler most associated with a snake, but with all due respect, he has never looked as good with one wrapped around his body as Brooke Tessmacher does in this photo.

Removing Wallpaper
The real secret to successful wallpaper removal is something that happens long before it's time to remove the paper; it's done when the paper is being hung. It's called proper wall preparation! Unfortunately, chances are that you may not have owned the home when the paper was originally installed and that's exactly why you're removing the paper. Sorry to break the bad news, but red velvet flocked paper is out! Even if the walls were not prepared to your ultimate satisfaction, you'll still be able to remove the paper. It just may mean a little more elbow grease and some additional repair work to the wall surface once the paper has been totally removed.
Begin by performing the second most important secret to successful wallpaper removal; scoring or breaking the surface of the paper to allow steam or a paste solvent to penetrate the face of the paper and weaken the bond. Although this can be accomplished in several ways, two of the most popular are with a scoring device designed specifically for this task or by using a hand saw. The teeth of the saw are run across the face of the paper and result in what an angry cat might do to a predator.
The two most popular methods to remove wallpaper are using a steamer or with an enzyme based solution, which will neutralize the wallpaper paste. Either of these methods is acceptable and, under normal circumstances, will work quite well. A steamer, which can be rented from your local tool rental establishment or paint and wallpaper store, is inexpensive and easy to use. Steam is used to moisten the paste while not saturating the drywall or plaster below.
The wallpaper stripping solution can be purchased from your local hardware store, home center, or paint and wallpaper specialty store. It comes as concentrated formula that is to be mixed with water and sprayed on with a pump garden sprayer. Be cautious not to use too much or you could soak the wallboard below and end up with more repair work and wall preparation than you bargained for.
Regardless of which method you should use, start from a corner at the top and work your way down along vertical seams, letting gravity help peel back the paper. You may find that using a four to five inch putty knife can significantly improve your ability to separate the paper from the wall. After all of the paper has been removed, thoroughly clean up any paste and paste remover that may remain using a sponge and warm water. Once the wall has dried completely -- generally a day or two -- you can make repairs to the surface with drywall joint compound or another appropriate patching material. A little light sanding and you'll be free of that purple paisley wallpaper and be ready to move on to new horizons.

Farm futures: private equity goes organic |

At Farmland's 1,000-acre Corvallis farm, the sense of passionate engagement on the part of Bradford and his current tenant-farmer partners is palpable. He is slightly professorial, ready to deeply discuss soil fertility, portable henhouse design or the life cycle of lichens, all in the space of two hours. At Farmland, Bradford's primary role is land management, and he uses Google Earth to demonstrate to his visitor how organizing land rotations is a bit like laying a puzzle, with some pieces functioning as paddocks for nibbling sheep, others as home ground for hundreds of laying hens in their portable henhouses, some lying fallow or growing new pasture grass (and grass seed), and others fostering grain or veggie crops. Bradford says Oregon was the perfect place for Farmland to start looking for land back in 2009-2010, as the bursting of the housing bubble caused the state's grass-seed and nursery industries to suffer setbacks (the Corvallis main acreage is a former grass-seed farm). Part of Farmland's attraction for investors is the focus on pastured production on a larger scale than what sustainable agriculture has been able to achieve. One of the most famous sustainable farm operations, Joel Salatin's Polyface farm in Virginia, is 500 acres. One thousand acres is Bradford's idea of a good start size. Part of Farmland's model hinges on finding farmers willing to lease with Farmland LP rather than own their own land. Those farmer-partners the company is now working with insist the deal is a good one. Karen Wells and her husband, Neal, spent four years searching for an Oregon property from which to launch their pastured poultry operation. As Neal was an accountant by trade, the pair was able to realistically run the numbers when assessing prospective land purchases. "We had the ability to do the financial analysis," Karen says, "but the math never worked." Karen says her family's process made the ideal of land ownership less attractive. "We know too many family farms going under … the next generation is not necessarily interested in farming, there's a profit problem, etc.," she says. "Now there are farmers out there saying to us, 'But you are not going to own the land,' and I say, 'Exactly. It's an albatross.'" After realizing that farmers like the Wells also need seed money, Bradford and Wichner went back to their investor group and formed a separate LLC called Vitality Farms to invest in both livestock and product innovation on Farmland acreage. |

The length of the foreclosure crisis—it's been going on for nearly six years now—is raising an interesting question: How many of those borrowers who lost their homes in the first wave of foreclosures will become homeowners in the coming years?
It's not going to happen quickly, according to a paper from researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. In fact, the paper says that former homeowners who defaulted on their mortgage during the recent housing crisis are likely to return to homeownership at a slower pace than previous cohorts of defaulters.
Because millions of Americans have defaulted on their mortgages over the past five years, these "boomerang buyers" could represent an important slice of housing demand in the coming years.
By Michael S. Derby
The beleaguered housing construction sector won't get its groove back until 2014, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco say. If house prices are able to stabilize and appreciate, and the inventory of foreclosed properties shrinks, then 2014 will be the year that home-building activity gets back to its "long-run average," William Hedberg and John Krainer argue in a paper published Monday.
Of course, there are some rather large "ifs" in that formulation, as home prices have defied predictions of recovery for some time now, with periods of recovery giving way to weakness in short order. At the same time, that outlook for foreclosed properties remains uncertain as well, and is subject to government and other regulatory factors beyond the normal push and pull of supply and demand.
U.S. housing starts in June rose to their strongest level in five months — 629,000 at an annualized rate. While a welcome improvement, new-home starts are still very far off their peaks and are also well below their historic average, too.

Advantages: Great value competative prices with good service
Disadvantages: Not aware of any
I travel quite frequently and am always looking for best value matched with good service. I therefore make use of price comparison websites to ensure I get the best deal.
When searching, Travel Republic provides the most competative prices in the majority of searches and for my last holiday they were considerably cheaper than the competition. What is more important though is that I get the same room as I would get with anyone else and in the case of my regular hotels, I even get the specific room I request.
Service wise I have never had any problems with Travel Republic. The payments are taken on time so I never need to worry about missing making the final instalment and the hotel vouchers are sent on completion of payment so no chasing for them at the last minute. As this is sent by e-mail, it is possible to save the voucher on your phone or iPad so you always have a back up.
Summary: Highly recomended

Edgeworth Price Cycle
Definition of 'Edgeworth Price Cycle'
In markets with homogenous goods, a sequence of rapid, incremental price cutting among competitors that lowers the retail price until it reaches the cost of the good. Eventually, competitors reset prices to their previous levels (allowing a normal retailer profit) and other competitors follow. This cycle may occur very rapidly in markets where there is heavy price competition.
Investopedia explains 'Edgeworth Price Cycle'
Engaging in this type of recurring price war hurts profits, but is difficult to avoid in some markets. When consumers are highly price sensitive, having a slightly higher price may significantly deter business, thus forcing a rapid price cut. Businesses attempt to differentiate their goods whenever possible so that a homogenous market does not exist. For example, in the gasoline market, retailers insert additives which supposedly make the brand of gasoline superior to others. These attempts at differentiation have met with limited success, however, and thus Edgeworth price cycling remains a problem in gasoline retailing.

If you get a salary, the bank will take the entire salary into consideration when figuring out how much to loan to you. If your income is dependent on sales or a bonus you are a bigger risk and the bank will only consider the last 2 years of reported income, and even then they assume worst case. So if you and I are both going to make 50k this year, but my income comes from a salary and your income comes from sales commission, I am going to qualify for a bigger loan. Also if you have less than 2 years of work history in the same profession, you might have trouble getting a loan in the first place.

It's a shame that the city of Hollywood decided to change its law of almost 24 years as reported in the March 6 article, Despite city law, Clydesdales will hoof it down Hollywood Boulevard, that bans the display of animals on public property. With all the hidden cruelty of circuses, rodeos, petting zoos and the like, this landmark law — the first in the country — inspired many other cities to pass similar laws. Weakening this law means that little by little, animal abuse will creep back to Hollywood. Commissioners will regret this decision when they have to hold public meetings for every animal act that comes to town.

text: The allure of the Hangover series really has to do with unlimited partying. Even in those movies the characters overdo it and go a little too hard for themselves, they can't handle that lifestyle like maybe they did in college. So what would it be like if they were senior citizens? Last Vegas wants to answer that question for you. Or rather Last Vegas wants to make money off of AARP members who think that Zach Galifianakis isn't that funny. Maybe this film will turn out to have a couple of laughs in it and find something in this hangover set up that the Hangover movies couldn't. Let's be honest though, this isn't going to be good.

Press Release: Local Artists Create Art From Old Musical Instruments Donated To HFM
At Hungry for Music, our mission is to get instruments into the hands of kids who are eager to learn but can't afford to buy their own. We collect a lot of donated instruments. Some are lightly used. Some never have produced a note of music. But many have exhausted their usefulness – as musical instruments.
We get asked frequently, "What do you do with the instruments that don't work anymore?"
What if they could be used for something else? It turns out they can. In fact, it turns out they can be transformed into remarkably striking art.
We plan to throw a party with great music, food and drink, and show and sell that art to benefit Hungry for Music. The event will be Nov. 8 at the Gibson Guitar VIP Showroom, 709 G Street NW, Suite 400, in Washington, D.C.
We teamed with local artists Ellyn Weiss and Richard Dana, old friends from our days at the Millennium Arts Studio in Southwest D.C., to find artists to transform old musical instruments into works of art.
Some 20-30 artists will participate. They will create artwork that will be sold in a silent auction that will take place during the event.
DC artists come together to support Hungry for Music with fundraiser art auction & Bluegrass, Blues, & Jazz trios providing entertainment throughout the evening
First Set – Bob Perilla's Big Hillbilly Bluegrass
Second Set – Rick Franklin & Charles Solomon Blues
Third Set – Bohemian Caverns Jazz Trio

Helen White was just trying to spice up a music class.
She was the elementary school counselor for Allegany County, N.C. She also is an avid musician – guitar and fiddle – who frequented the fiddle competitions and music festivals of the mountainous area where she lived. Through her job, she knew every kid in the county, and she knew those kids weren't attending those events.
So one day, she saw the music teacher in one of her schools showing pictures of instruments to his class to teach them about the instruments. She convinced him to let her bring in some instruments the next week and let the children spend 30 seconds playing the instrument of their choice.
There was a learning-disabled girl in the class. She was in third grade but old enough to be in fourth – she had been held back a year. "She was bigger than me … heavier, too," White recalled.
The girl was from a musical family – several of its members had formed a string band years ago, before she was born. She made the most of her 30 seconds. "She hunkered over his bass and began to play," White said. "She pulled these tones out of it nobody had heard before. The class went silent. Then, it erupted in applause."
That moment changed Helen White's life. She determined right then she had to bring this music to these kids. It was theirs after all – their heritage, their tradition, their community. She wasn't so much looking to create master musicians as to introduce them to the music community of relatively healthy role models and maybe, in some cases, reawaken some dormant DNA.
And that's how Junior Appalachian Musicians – or JAM – was born. What began with one program in one school has grown to 22 programs in three states that serve more than 900 kids – about 60 percent of whom qualify for free and reduced-cost meals in their schools.
White's role has evolved as well. She took an early retirement from her job as school counselor and now serves as the regional director of Junior Appalachian Musicians, Inc. The programs are autonomous and must raise their own money. But she wants them to observe standards – criminal background checks for the adults who interact with kids, community-based boards of directors to oversee operations and some assurances the teachers know their craft. Since JAM, Inc. doesn't fund the groups, it gains some leverage in part from its ability to distribute instruments to start-ups or those struggling financially or growing rapidly.
And that's where Hungry For Music comes in. A few times each year, the Hungry For Music van rolls into Galax, Va., in the far southwestern corner of the state, with instruments to donate to JAM. Fender guitars and banjos are the most common donations, but other instruments are donated as well. White has two new groups – one with 65 kids, another with 80 – and they are growing thanks in part to a large donation of instruments by HFM in May.
"Instruments are a huge expense for groups when they start up," White said. "The cost is a real barrier to entry, and we don't want it to be."
Now, one of White's biggest challenges is to keep groups from hoarding instruments. "It's a big problem, They want to save instruments so they can improve on what they have," she said. "So we ask if you don't use an instrument for a year to please return it so we can it into the hands of someone who will."
Which meshes nicely with the mission of Hungry For Music, which also seeks to get instruments from people who don't use them anymore into the hands of people who do.
"We're trying to get these kids into this big surrogate family, this big community where they can hang out," White said. "Hungry For Music has been great to us. They call and say, 'Here's what we have. What do you need?' It's been terrific to be associated with them."
Please consider a donation to Hungry for Music today and help put a music instrument into the hands of a deserving child.

Hungry for Music and Montgomery County Sister Cities have joined to provide musical instruments for the youth of Morazan, El Salvador – the first sister city in a county program that hopes to expand to cities throughout the world. With the help of Hungry for Music, a Takoma Park-based charity that donates musical instruments to underserved children, the mission is to raise $2,500 to purchase instruments through a vendor in El Salvador and support a city youth development program and boost the local economy. The fundraising drive, which began July 1, will run through July 25.
"Montgomery County's Sister Cities program will help to enrich our community by building relationships around the world to promote cultural, educational and economic development opportunities," County Executive Ike Leggett said.
During a 2010 trip to Morazan, a Montgomery County Sister Cities delegation toured a newly built House of Culture community center in Perquin. The city's mayor asked the delegation for musical instruments to create an out-of-school music program. The delegation later decided this request was one they would fulfill first. Delegation member Bruce Adams, director of the county's Office of Community Partnerships and founder of the Bethesda Big Train baseball team, had worked with Hungry for Music founder and director Jeff Campbell and turned to him that charity, which has donated more than 5,000 instruments to youth across the United States and abroad. In this case, the instruments will be purchased in El Salvador, working with businesses there to supply and transport them.
You can support the campaign by buying a raffle ticket for a First Act electric guitar (valued at $2,000) at Bethesda Big Train games or Strathmore Summer Concert Series shows. Donations also can be made online at www.hungryformusic.org.
Here's is what a typical donation could buy for Perquin's House of Culture: $20, cowbell/percussion; $75, acoustic guitar; $100, violin; $150, electric guitar, $200 electric bass, $200.
During the last week in July, Leggett, former U.S. Rep. Connie Morella, Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez and County Council member George Leventhal are leading a 65-person delegation to return to Morazan, a rural department (the equivalent of a state) in eastern El Salvador, formalize the Sister City relationship.(Is this correct?? A check for musical instruments will be presented at that time.
The independent, nonprofit Montgomery County Sister Cities Inc., chaired by former Town of Chevy Chase mayor Bill Hudnut, was established to connect the county to the world by encouraging and fostering friendship, partnership and mutual cooperation through educational, cultural, social, economic, humanitarian and charitable exchanges. The organization's objectives include encouraging the people of Montgomery County and those of similar communities in other nations to acquire information about each other and to understand one another as individuals, as members of their community, as citizens of their country, and as part of the family of nations. It also hopes to foster a continuing relationship of mutual concern between Montgomery County residents and the people of similar communities in other nations. The Sister Cities group also plans to participate as an organization in the fostering and publicizing of local, state and national programs of international cooperation.
So far, 74 donors and $3,500 was pledged, and we will be very happy that you follow through on your pledge!
Since the project was not fully funded with the Kickstarter campaign, the Kickstarter website will not charge anyone for the donations. To follow through with your pledges, please donate directly to Hungry for Music through PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, then you can simply use a credit card or debit card at the PayPal page.
Donate to Diamond Cuts Project |
Alternatively, you can mail us a check at: Hungry For Music
2020 Pennsylvania Ave, NW No 384 Washington, D.C. 20006 |
Just like before, all donations will receive a code for a free music download!
Please follow through on your pledges, and please help us raise the last $1,500 so that we can create and release the new album! Thank you!

Life - Make Your Inner Critic your Inner guide
by Nandini Murali
The Snow Queen, an allegorical story by Hans Christian Anderson, fascinates me more today than when I first read it as a little girl. It is the story of a wicked hobgoblin who decided to make a looking glass with a difference. This special looking glass distorted everything that was good and beautiful and made it appear ugly and grotesque. In addition it minimised the good and beautiful and highlighted the bad and ugly. Spurred by the success of his invention in the world of humans, the hobgoblin decided to introduce it to the heavens where he hoped the angels, and perhaps, even God, could be deceived!
But when the hobgoblin reached heaven, an invisible force stopped him and the looking glass slipped from his hands. It was smashed into smithereens and sprayed across the world! Although each piece was no bigger than a grain of sand, nevertheless it had all the properties of the whole! If a small splinter lodged inside in the eye of a person, he or she would view everything as bad or ugly! The hobgoblin watched this charade and was filled with wicked mirth! Legend has it that those tiny shards of glass are still being sprayed in the world. It lodges itself in the souls of people, casting a shadow that eclipses the light of our souls.
Goblin within
The splintered mirror is a metaphor for the Inner Critic the coercive inner voice within us that criticises, condemns, judges, compares, finds fault and assaults us with a fusillade of self-defeating thoughts on a 24/7 basis throughout our lives. Perhaps, the only times when the critical voice turns off is when we are asleep!
What then is the purpose of the much maligned inner critic? How and why did it develop? How do we transform it from foe to a friend and partner in our inner journey?
The inner critic is one of the multiple selves of the psyche. It is a self-critical voice that represents either singly or in combination the voices of authority figures such as ones parents, teachers, society, and culture. The inner critic is a human internalised dictator of socio-cultural norms or dos and donts. In Freudian terms it roughly corresponds to the super ego or moral conscience. Thus the inner critic is a social guide in contrast to the true conscience or inner guide.
The inner critic disapproves of even slight deviation from normative behaviour. It essentially served as a protective mechanism so necessary to impart a sense of direction and act as a guide during our vulnerable childhood. The inner critic ensured our safety, both physical and psychological.
Psychologists Hal and Sidra Stone pioneered the concept of voice dialogue a process of engaging in a compassionate and healing interaction with the inner critic. According to them, the inner critic is one of the many primary selves or personality. This personality is made up of sub personalities or selves that help us adapt to the environment. Hal and Sidra Stone term these as primary selves because they are primary in our lives they determine who we are and how we act.
Some of the primary selves include the Pleaser (one of the earliest primary selves whose role is to make the other feel wanted and accepted), the Rule Maker (a close ally, a proxy of the inner critic!), the Pusher (a great team mate of the inner critic whose role is to secure recognition for the person), the Perfectionist (an inner self that wants us to look and act perfect all the time).
Our inner critic is not alone, but will play ball game with any of our primary selves to dominate our lives, write Hal and Sidra Stone in Embracing Your Inner Critic. We live our lives, most often, in auto pilot, steered and directed by our primary selves. We live life by their rules, and are not aware of our choices and options available. Hal and Sidra Stone term the constellation of primary selves as our Operating Ego.
When the Operating Ego is in charge, we are not driving our own psychological cars. Instead we are driven by whichever of our primary selves is strongest at the given moment, write Hal and Sidra Stone.
Disowned selves
A twin concept proposed by the Stones is that of the disowned selves. In simple terms, a disowned self is the opposite of a primary self. In Jungian psychology, the disowned selves represent the shadow that must be integrated into the psyche in the journey towards wholeness and freedom. With the exacting precision of a surgeon we try to eradicate or banish those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Most of us have a surgeons mentality when it comes to the selves we dislike. We try hard to get rid of our temper, our rage, jealousy, pettiness, shyness, feelings of inadequacy the list is endless. In an attempt to eradicate these rejected selves, we make them much stronger by driving them into the unconscious where they operate beyond our control. If we learn to step back and allow our awareness to operate, we will not only encounter these selves, but actually realise that our wish to eradicate these patterns is actually the work of another self. We have within ourselves a sub personality (the inner critic) that labels these unwanted selves as detestable and makes us feel absolutely dreadful for having them in the first place, say Hal and Sidra Stone.
In my own case, I became acutely aware of the presence of the inner critic as an adult, especially after marriage. Of course, the inner critic had been broadcasting (the Stones term it Radio Station KRAZY!) since my childhood its Talibanised strictures on what was acceptable and what was forbidden that I received unquestioningly. As long as I complied robotically with its diktat, all was well in my world. Or so it seemed.
My Primary Selves included being a compulsive people pleaser, a hard core perfectionist, and a relentless pusher. This holy trinity relentlessly drove me on to be more perfect than perfect! They believed in a world of moral absolutes in which the world was only black and white. Shades of grey simply did not exist for me.
I prided myself on being a super womana stupendous cook, and homemaker, an excellent professional, an enviable spouse and a fantasy daughter-in-law and daughter. Even a slight deviation from my impossible standards would trigger tsunami critic attacks.
Ms Perfect
For example, I used to be a teacher. By the time I left home for work at 8 am, the home had to look like a five-star hotel, the kitchen as if it had never been used (I would have made an elaborate three-course lunch, besides breakfast), said my prayers religiously, washed and ironed my saris, dressed impeccably and widely regarded as the best teacher in the school for my teaching capabilities! If I fell short on any of these, my inner critic would reprimand, castigate and upbraid me.
The weapons my inner critic used with unerring success were guilt and reproach. I must have earned multiple PhDs in guilt! My inner critic also took on the role of a moral police, especially in matters of sex and sexuality. I aspired to be an impossible combination of Sita and Savitri! If I fell short of my exacting standards, I felt a colossal failure! My critic had no words of praise every time I came near its impossible standards, the bar was raised higher! In short, I was my worst critic.
When I realised that a voice within me was running my life, I seriously began to wonder whether I had auditory hallucinations! That was my wake-up call; my moment of epiphany.
Once you realise that this is the voice of your inner critic, that radio station KRAZY is playing, then you have choices and it is possible that you begin to take greater control over this area of your life. You can learn to turn down the volume or turn off the radio. You can learn to change to another station. Eventually, you can even learn to change the nature of the programming on this station. You can learn to change the behaviour and attitude of the inner critic. First, however, you must learn to hear the music, say Hal and Sidra Stone.
K Anandh, Chennai-based psychotherapist, agrees that we need to have a realistic appraisal of the role of the inner critic. It is myopic to either be dismissive or brand the inner critic as demonic or counterproductive.
As an inner guide, the inner critic has a valid function. We do need guidelines and in this sense the inner critic is a self that should not be decommissioned. The intentions of the inner critic are always positive. It becomes destructive when it becomes a negative critic, tyrannical, curtails freedom and thereby generates guilt, he says.
Cant beat em, join em
Experts suggest several strategies to befriend the inner critic. These include dialoguing, journaling, meditating, attention shift, and using the non-dominant hand to answer questions posed to the inner critic.
One way to make the client aware of the inner critic is to educate the client before the session about it and encourage the client to ignore the inner critic. A second is to make the client go into a witnessing state of awareness and watch the inner critic as well as other aspects of the self. Generally, when the client witnesses the inner critic in a non-judgemental state, the inner critic transforms, says Dr Newton Kondaveti, well-known past-life regression therapist.
How then do we make the inner critic an intelligent, perceptive and supportive ally in our personal growth? How do we transform the inner critic from a crippling adversary to a productive ally?
The first step involves the recognition that we are not the inner critic or any of our primary selves. As in every process of sustainable personal growth and transformation, awareness is the key.
The inner critic is an ally in personal growth. What we deny is going to be a stumbling block. When the inner critic is embraced, it merges into the Greater Self in us and helps us ground ourselves. The inner critic is an important aspect of our Total Self, says Dr Newton Kondaveti.
Aware ego
Hal and Sidra Stone say that this individuation or separation from the primary selves is vital in developing what they term the Aware Ego. The Aware Ego is not a self. It is a you that is not dominated by any self or a set of selves. It is able to contain all the opposites that you are, to accept and to honour them appropriately. It moves you beyond duality. It is both a process and a goal, write the psychologists.
They use the interesting analogy of a car to explain the process of reclaiming our uniqueness and disengaging from the tyranny of the inner critic. We take control of the car from the primary selves, unlock the disowned selves from the trunk and drive our own psychological car with all the selves as passengers!
Dr TS Radhakrishnan, Chennai-based psychotherapist and transactional analysis practitioner and trainer, also avers that the inner critic is part of our personality.
As our personality is based on our childhood responses to the then world, still residing in us as habits/ script decisions, etc, the inner critic can also be a part of our adaptation, rather than of our awareness these two being the polar opposites of our self. Hence the awareness levels will have to be enhanced to compensate for the adaptations, says Dr Radhakrishnan.
Personally, my own process of forging a meaningful and compassionate relationship with my inner critic has been painful and challenging but ultimately transformative. As I gradually began to separate and release myself from its stranglehold, and integrate my inner critic and acknowledge it as an inner guide (but it is I who make the decisions) I freed my spontaneity and aliveness that was shackled and fettered.
I have now excavated several lost pleasures. Yes, these include wildlife trips, watching butterflies and birds, photography, and writing my novel not in stolen moments but consciously giving myself the time and space to do so without the familiar burden of guilt deriding me for wasting my time! And before I forget, it also includes delegating cooking to my trained maid and never mind, my home doesnt always have to look like a five-star hotel! The process has been liberating and healing; enabling me to glimpse the light within my soul.
Most of us begin the journey towards personal growth based on the premise that we are imperfect and flawed. No, we are not in need of correction, but just need a powerful tele lens to zoom in on the magnificence of our souls. I am reminded of a meaningful desert proverb: Listen to the path. It is wiser than s/he who travels it.

Nandini, what a lovely article!!! Couldn't agree with you more about the inner critic's antics :)) I felt relieved and better to know that my inner critic can become my ally and I have all the right to make it stop making me feel guilty all the time. I could totally relate to your inner More...

Selfie – the Oxford Word of the Year for 2013 – is a neologism defined as "a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website." The emergence of this phenomenon a few years ago was therefore dependent on advances in digital photography and mobile phone technology, as well as the rise of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, among other sites, which supply an outlet and audience for the photos. But a tradition of self-portraiture in photography is as old as the medium, and the popularity of amateur photography only slightly less so.
According to the Grove Art Online entry on photography, "Perhaps the most popular form of early photography was the portrait. The very first portraits, especially those produced by the daguerreian process were treasured for their ability to capture the aspects of facial appearance that constitute family resemblance." Invented by the French painter Louis Daguerre in the late 1830s, daguerreotypes, with their "cold, mirror-like appearance" were well-suited to capturing exacting likenesses of sitters. Portraits were the most commonly produced type of photographs in the first decades of photography, comprising an estimated 95% of surviving daguerreotypes. Among these are some exquisite self-portraits, including what may have been the first daguerreotype made in America, the self-portrait of the Philadelphia metalworker-turned-photographer Robert Cornelius.
Many early self-portraits fall into two general categories. In the first type, which had a long tradition in painted portraits and self-portraits, the subject poses with a camera or a set of photographs, showing him as a professional of his trade. As portrait photographers competed for customers, these images demonstrated the photographer's ability to capture a flattering likeness with his technical skill and his eye for setting and pose. The other type of self-portrait seems to have been the photographer's attempt to situate photography as a fine art, a novel idea during the era of early photography. In a fine example of this type, Albert Sands Southworth, of the firm Southworth and Hawes, showed himself as a classical sculpted portrait bust, with a far-off, romantic expression. Although the daguerreotype was eventually replaced by other techniques (notwithstanding a 21st-century revival by Chuck Close), self-portraiture has remained one of the most interesting genres in photo history. It seems that from photography's earliest days, there has been a natural tendency for photographers to turn the camera toward themselves.
These early practitioners were either professionals with studios or "skilled amateurs" – often wealthy individuals who took up photography as a fashionable hobby. It would be a few decades before new processes and equipment brought the making of photographs to the masses. Pivotal in the development of amateur photography, George Eastman's Kodak cameras, which hit the market in 1888, were "designed for the general public, who had only to point it in the right direction and release the shutter. When the 100-exposure roll provided with the camera had been exposed, the whole apparatus was returned to Eastman's factory, where the paper rollfilm was developed and printed, the camera reloaded and returned to the customer; 'You press the button, we do the rest' was his slogan" (quite a bit easier than the painstaking process of creating a daguerreotype or a glass-plate negative). Kodak's line of Brownie box cameras, first released in 1900 and priced at one dollar, made photography truly available to the broad public. Thus began a long era of popular photography made possible by the cheap production of cameras and efficient processing and printing of film.
The next great pivotal moment in the history of amateur photography – and perhaps photography in general – was the emergence of digital photography. Early digital cameras were available on the consumer market in the early 1990s, but it was not until technical improvements and a drop in prices over the next decade that digital photography had replaced older technologies. In 2002 more digital cameras were sold than film cameras, and Kodak, a giant in American industry for much of the 20th century, filed for bankruptcy in 2012. According to Mary Warner Marien,
…the public use of photographs has changed the medium. Where the photograph was once a tangible item, it can now exist as an array of pixels, seldom printed but collected in phones, cameras, computers and web-based image storage applications. Where once material photographs were saved, now photographs can be considered immaterial phenomena. There are more amateur photographers than ever before, and their conventions emerged in the early 21st century as powerful cultural shapers in the many branches of photographic practice.
The ease with which so many can take photographs of themselves and share them with an audience of many millions has made the selfie a "global phenomenon." On one hand, this phenomenon is a natural extension of threads in the history of photography of self-portraiture and technical innovation resulting in the increasing democratization of the medium. But on the other, the immediacy of these images – their instantaneous recording and sharing – makes them seem a thing apart from a photograph that required time and expense to process and print, not to mention distribute to friends and relatives.
The ubiquity of selfies has naturally led some to wonder if the practice is either reflecting or promoting what many see as growing narcissism in contemporary culture. But perhaps, as Jenna Wortham suggests, selfies represent a new way not only of representing ourselves to others, but of communicating with one another through images: "Rather than dismissing the trend as a side effect of digital culture or a sad form of exhibitionism, maybe we're better off seeing selfies for what they are at their best — a kind of visual diary, a way to mark our short existence and hold it up to others as proof that we were here. The rest, of course, is open to interpretation."

The Athlete's Pocket Guide to Yoga:
Athletes come to the practice of yoga with muscle tightness from hours spent training and little time in their weekly schedules for lengthy sessions. At the height of the season, they often disappear from yoga classes altogether in favor of demanding sport-specific training, yet it is then that yoga can be most beneficial.
Sage Rountree makes it easy for athletes to reap the benefits of yoga year-round. The Athlete�s Pocket Guide to Yoga is set up to complement a rigorous training schedule.
Product Features:
5-minute warm-ups to prepare for daily workouts
Strength sessions for the off-season and base periods
Flexibility sessions for when training grows more demanding, including 20-minute flexibility routines designed to follow workouts
Focus sessions incorporating breath exercises and meditation to improve recovery and sharpen mental toughness for competition
Armed with this pocket guide, athletes can incorporate yoga into their training all year long.
A spiral binding makes it easy to display pages during each routine, and attractive color photographs fluidly detail the individual poses. Sage also includes tips to simplify trickier poses or vary the routine from one session to the next.
Product Specifications:
Spiral-bound with color photos throughout.

Travel Blogs from Vientiane
Vientiane and the Laos jungle
... Because it is rainy season right now the river is very rough. Lots of excitement and lots of fun!
After we survived the white water we get ashore and our guides make a fire with some coal and we have a BBQ lunch.
A long-boat ride takes us back up the river and the kids have a wonderful time playing in the mud for a while. After trekking up the mountain into the jungle, we get to our camp.There is a cool 'main building' made from bamboo (just a floor and ...
Buddha Park
... one that catches my eye is a demon lying flat with a ball balanced behind him in his fins, or the sitting Buddha that has a robe on and a really white face that I swear looks real, so much so that I've shivers running up my spine. Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesh and much, much more all around the park in all shapes and sizes and it's a truly unforgettable, strange and bizarre place to visit and has been m highlight of Vientiane. After my hours spent in the ...
I wish I'd walked out!
... But I'm sad they cut short the ending. The Naomi watts scenes are gruesome and the film centres around the eldest son. We're sat next to the British couple Guy and Rachel whom we met at Konghlor. Guy has one earpiece not working and the Loatian music is driving him nuts. When we arrive we get a tuk tuk to the centre of Vientienne and go to Mixoi hostel for 65 kip each. The room is decent. I spot a Joma cafe but we have lunch ...
Lets flyyy
On Monday we had the morning free in hanoi and did a bit of last minute shopping and had a nice lunch together before we had to say our finak goodbyes to the people that were leaving us there. It was so sad! We also met the new american girls who were joining us for the rest of the trip, seemed nice but ...
The Night I Sang For Our Supper...
... taking them up as and when (got the impression that it was the same list that plays on a regular basis). The Bar Owner at this point was telling me that I should come back and keep singing, that he liked my voice.
A couple of songs later the inescapable Gangnam Style was played and this appeared to be a karaoke break for dancing to start. The same guy (who'd offered us the dark beer and given me the microphone) came over and held his hand out indicating that ...
I have to declare an interest as I know the owner. That said I am being as honest as possible. The Guesthouse is slightly out of the centre but is still only 400 yards from the night market and a short walk to the riverside. On a map look for the local Governors office and the GH is just opposite.
Should you be a light sleeper I suggest you get a room at the back as there is some road noise. There are good restaurants and cafes nearby and the little pho shop two doors down stays open late and sells cold beer.
The GH itself is well built and nicely finished the rooms are spacious and well furnished. Bathrooms are a good size with quality fittings and excellent showers with plenty of hot water and a good pressure. he airconditioning is effective and modern so fairly quiet. Flat screen TV on the wall has more than 40 channels inc BBC world and CNN. I like the fact that they have bedside lights so that you do not have to get up to turn the lights out!
Breakfast iserved in the lobby nd is the usual Lao fare. Fried Eggs or Omlette Bread or Croissant butter and Jam. Plate of fruit and tea or coffee. The staff are helpful and attentive although some do not have much English.This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.

The white anorak, yeah well 5 or 6 years ago I had a great survival training in Sweden and since then I am converting people to orange, though some take it over the top Jan, the owner of the orange anorak makes great knives check out his (dutch) website or his facebook if you want more knife p@rn Yep it was a standing dead small pine, sawed and split.

Harold Rosen
Harold Rosen, (born March 20, 1926, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.), American engineer who designed Syncom 2, the first geosynchronous communications satellite. Rosen received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1947. Beginning in 1948 he worked at Raytheon Manufacturing Company (now Raytheon Company). He received a master's degree (1948) and a doctorate (1951) in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He began work at Hughes Aircraft Company (later part of Hughes Electronics Corporation) on radar units for aircraft in 1956. Both Hughes and American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) developed plans for communications satellites shortly after the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957. AT&T planned to develop 20–40 satellites that would orbit at low altitudes. However, Rosen favoured a satellite in geostationary orbit, 35,785 km (22,236 miles) above Earth's Equator, which would have an orbital period equal to that of Earth's rotation and thus appear stationary in the sky. Only three satellites, spaced 120° apart, would be required for a complete worldwide network with at least one satellite always visible from any point on Earth. In 1959 Rosen, assisted by engineers Donald Williams ... (200 of 532 words)

The top cities hurt by daylight saving time
One study looked at how much money major metropolitan areas lose when the clocks change.
We don't just lose an hour of sleep when the clocks change for daylight saving time. We lose real money, too.
That's the conclusion of a new survey by SleepBetter.org, which asked researchers to analyze evidence showing the economic drawbacks of daylight saving time.
As the basis of their research, the economists focused on three main areas. First, medical studies have shown that losing an hour of sleep leads to more heart attacks. Second, sleep deprivation has been linked to more workplace injuries in the mining and construction business. And finally, it causes a bit more loafing around at work.
SleepBetter.org has developed what it calls the "Lost Hour" economic index showing that moving the clock ahead Sunday will produce a $434 million hit to the U.S. economy. The company looked at how individual U.S. cities were affected as well.
At the top of the list is Morgantown, W.Va., a city with higher rates of heart attacks and, historically, a higher rate of mining and construction accidents. Two other West Virginia regions rounded out the top three for similar reasons. Florida cities also appear on the list, mostly because of higher heart-attack rates linked to the large population of retirees in the state.
Here are the rest of the top 20 areas hurt economically by daylight saving time, according to the index:

Who is this person? Time is relative. All the stated comments are not factual. My cows and horses never ask me what time it is. I don't spend any extra money on air conditioners. I actually stay awake longer and I am more alert. Why are you making up things to justify your problem. There are 24 hours in a day. How you use them it up to you.
The extra hour of daylight enhances mood, provides more opportunity to get outdoors and bike, walk, run, garden, and other healthful activities that actually enhance productivity, not hurt it. People who are sleep deprived are so because of many other reasons, which would still exist even without the time change.

Use the pedestal as a stand-alone unit anywhere or slide under a Sao Paulo desk or credenza (sold separately) with a matching Mahogany finish. 22" deep design includes two file drawers that hold letter-size and legal-size files. Both drawers lock for security and feature full-extension, ball-bearing slides for easy opening and closing. Pedestal features hardwood veneers on all exposed surfaces that are book-matched to produce a uniform grain pattern. All surfaces are varnished for maximum durability.
