Core Course

Tags: core yoga inner life health abdomen
Last week we spoke about focus and how to develop that. This focus provides a foundation for going deeper, into the core. What is the core? How can we make sure to allow our work on the mat actually meet and develop our core? The core of who we are can refer to the body and to the rest of our lives. Let's look at the core together. We'll share some of the core concepts offered by Sadie Nardini about the deep inner core. We'll continue to build our dancer pose (Natarajasana), and have a little relaxation at the end.

American Education...Rotten To The Core.
by dana smearman in Politics Conservative
Tags: common core agenda 21 education united nations indoctrination
Education in the United States has been on the decline for decades, it would seem that those in charge of our schools would rather push liberal agendas than teach the skills needed to ensure a bright and prosperous future.
Now comes Common Core, a set of standards that clearly has ties to Agenda 21 and it will further destroy the ability of the individual to think critically ,and thus those who hold power will find it easier to do so ,as time goes by.
If we are to save , and nurture, our republic we must have an educated populace, it is time to get busy and begin the process of releasing our schools from the iron grip of the federal government and the hacks at the Untied Nations.
The Common Core Focus on Mathematics
by The Perkins Platform in Education
Tags: Common Core Mathematics Perkins Bartle Matthews
There is a national debate currently underway among k-12 policymakers, leaders, teachers regarding the usefulness of the common core standards initiative. The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort that established a single set of educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt.
On October 16, we have two special guests who will discuss "Common Core" and provide some insight on the challenges and solutions to issues that have come up since states started adopting them. We are pleased to have Mr. Kenneth Matthews, Supervisor of Mathematics for New Haven (CT) Public Schools. In this position, he oversees mathematics curriculum and instruction in 50 schools for 21,000 students. His principle charge is to raise achievement in mathematics, close the achievement gaps among impoverished and minority students, and prepare students for higher education and careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.) He works closely with Math for America and Teach for America. We also have Ms. Sandy Bartle, Senior Academic Officer with Carnegie Learning. Sandy spent 14 years as a high school mathematics teacher, department chair, and coach As Senior Academic Officer, she co-authors curricula and ensures that the best of academic research on teaching and learning theory is directly applied to the needs of teachers.
Join us on October 16 at 2pm EST for an informative discussion!

My guest this week is an active teacher in a New York State school district whom I will call JOHN SMITH. I will not be using his real name as teachers such as my guest, who oppose the institution of the Common Core Curriculum, face pressure from School District Superintendents every day to "go along with the program" for their own good. American children have become "lab rats" for experimentation via a program created by socialists and communists who are out to destroy traditional classical education, critical thinking, and an accurate historical view of our country. My guest will give you first hand knowledge of how the 'Common Core Curriculum' is more about INDOCTRINATING America's children than educating them. The History Books are being re-written to give a negative view of America and its founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. More time is spent on a favorable review of the United Nations Charter than on the U.S. Constitution. He will give us specific examples of material currently used in our schools to "progressively' INDOCTRINATE our children into accepting socialist views and to rely on communal group-think to identify solutions to problems. He will tell us what the authors of this program really want to do with our children's minds, values, careers and lives? Americans need a strong wake-up call about the 'Common Core Curriculum' and it better happen soon.

16 Books to Watch for in May 2011
This month, we're showcasing books that tell the truth—or part of it, anyway. From a bittersweet memoir of an exceptionally bad dog to a stunning novel of a family's scandal, there's something for everyone.
O, The Oprah Magazine |
April 22, 2011
Jennifer Haigh
336 pages
In her luminous new new novel, Faith (Harper), author Jennifer Haigh has much more on her mind than religious belief; faith in your God may well matter, but so does faith in those you love and in yourself. With the sexual abuse scandal that rocked Boston's Catholic archdiocese in 2002 as the backdrop, narrator Sheila McGann recounts a chain of events that shattered her older half-brother Art's life as a priest when he was accused of fondling a young boy. "And the evidence either way—of his guilt or innocence—was very slim," Sheila says. The novel has the magnetic, page-turning quality of a detective thriller, but the clues here lead not to objective proof but to insight into a family both vividly specific and astonishingly universal—a family full of secrets, resentments, and divided loyalties. Sheila, another brother, and their mother react to Art's situation according to their own needs for self-justification, while Art refuses to fight the charge, not because he abused the child but because "in his own eyes he was not blameless. He was simply guilty of a different crime." Almost everybody in this wise novel has trespassed in one way or another—and everyone needs forgiveness. As Sheila reminds us: "Faith is a decision. In its most basic form, it is a choice." And every choice, we learn, has its consequence.
Ann Packer
240 pages
Most readers know Ann Packer from her best-selling debut novel, The Dive from Clausen's Pier. Her stunning linked-story collection,' ' Swim Back to Me' ' (Knopf), is even better, richer, more insightful. Packer can break your heart—and she can mend it, too. Easing readers in with recognizable characters facing familiar situations—an adolescent boy agonizes over an unrequited crush, a newlywed worries when her husband is late coming home—she then injects a detail that makes us see the situations in a whole new light. If Packer's characters' crises are ordinary, what's unusual is the poignant way they attempt to right themselves after crushing hits. The multilayered novella that anchors the book, "Walk for Mankind," centers on a middle-aged man looking back to when he was 13, remembering the girl who betrayed him—and his own petty, impotent act of retaliation. In the story "Dwell Time," a wife discovers her husband's shattering secret habit and wonders, "What if she could be blasé, indifferent?... Would that spoil it for him? Enough to keep him from doing it again?" The final story, "Things Said or Done," is narrated by the girl from the novella, now also middle-aged. Her recollection of their adolescent years differs wildly from the events described by the man she wounded so long ago, a fact that seems—like so much in this fine work—surprising and absolutely true.
Chris Adrian
304 pages
A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2008 version: Three lovelorn strangers are transformed by a magical night in a San Francisco park.
Martin Kihn
224 pages
An irreverent memoir about a recovering alcoholic and the pet whose antics could drive a man to drink.
Mindy Greenstein
210 pages
Holocaust-survivor parents, a day job counseling prisoners, a battle with cancer—all fodder for Greenstein's insightful, sardonic essays.
Amanda Hodgkinson
336 pages
A riveting historical novel, set in post-WWII England, about a Polish couple reunited after enduring—and committing—crimes of love and war.
Francisco Goldman
288 pages
A heartbreaking novel of love and grief, based on the author's real-life horror story of losing his young wife in a freak accident.
Alexandra Styron
304 pages
The Sophie's Choice author's glamorous, brilliant, drunken life, and brutally tormented mind, as recalled by his youngest child.
Manuel Munoz
272 pages
An eerily cinematic novel about the filming of Psycho, in which the offscreen action takes a Hitchcockian turn.
Danzy Senna
240 pages
The women in this engrossing collection grapple with the contemporary dynamics of race and gender—and age-old emotions like envy and regret.
Francine Prose
320 pages
A young woman's immigrant aspirations are complicated by a sexy hunk from the homeland in this darkly comic novel by one of our favorite authors.
Anne Kreamer
256 pages
Big girls do cry—and yell—at work, according to this lively, well-researched exploration of emotions on the job.
Melissa Fay Greene
368 pages
To most readers, Melissa Fay Greene is the prizewinning author of such journalistic gems as The Temple Bombing and Praying for Sheetrock. To her neighbors in midtown Atlanta, she's also known as the lady who, in 1999, the year before her oldest child left for college, decided to adopt more kids, at least partially to ward off empty-nest syndrome. At last count, she and her husband, Don Samuel, a defense attorney, have added five kids to their "bio" group of four: one from a Bulgarian orphanage and four from Ethiopia. Why they did it—and how they do it—is the subject of Greene's moving, enlightening, and surprisingly funny new memoir, No Biking in the House Without a Helmet (Sarah Crichton/FSG), which folds an adoption primer into a meditation on family.
Jo Ann Beard
304 pages
"Everyone is somewhere else," declares the 14-year-old narrator of Jo Ann Beard's In Zanesville (Little, Brown). She's not just talking about the goings-on in her hometown (which her best friend, Flea, calls Insanesville); she's talking emotional displacement, too, as she attempts to navigate the tenuous territory between the weight of her parents' generation and what are supposed to be the most exciting years of her life. It's the 1970s, and the world is changing; everything she once took for granted begins to fall apart. Seriously, who would've thought she'd find herself estranged from Flea and schmoozing with the cheerleaders? Despite the unsettling and intriguing nature of this turn of events, our nameless narrator finds solace in Shakespeare—"'Tis new to thee"—and resolves to look forward. Masterfully wrought, in such a way as to make an oft-told tale feel new, this novel is at times downright hilarious and often hold-your-breath-and-hope-for-the-best suspenseful. The restraint with which Beard deploys moments of tension and humor makes each page glimmer like the frozen cornfields at dusk in which the narrator wanders and thinks, "We're on the moon out here, except the moon is up there."
Katie Arnold-Ratliff
288 pages
When Francis Mason's class discovers a dead body on a field trip, the elementary school teacher goes into a freefall of self-destruction. Distancing himself from his pregnant wife and his job, he lashes out at everyone and everything in his current life; he can find solace only in his memories of Nora, his first love, the one that got away. "Ask me what I most remember about high school and the answer is the back of your head," he says to her during one of his many mental visits to the past. Bright Before Us (Tin House)—an ambitious debut novel from O assistant editor Katie Arnold-Ratliff—is a nihilistic road trip of a book, full of lyrical, dreamlike prose. It's also a story that reminds us that love, however deeply felt, is not necessarily pretty or kind.
Jael McHenry
288 pages
Ginny Selvaggio, avid amateur cook and devotee of online culinary community Kitcherati, realizes that there's something different about her. She may never be officially diagnosed as having Asperger's syndrome, but in The Kitchen Daughter (Gallery), 26-year-old Ginny is known by friends and family to be challenged as well as challenging. Then her parents die suddenly, and Ginny takes refuge in her favorite room—not to mention solace in the meals she can make there. Jael McHenry writes passionately about food and foodies—"If it had to be an olive his skin would be a cured Arbequina." More impressive, not one of her novel's plotlines—whether about an enraged ghost, an act of charity, or a fumbling flirtation between Ginny and her housekeeper's grief-stricken son, David—ends predictably. While Ginny is wonderfully single-minded about cooking, her fresh, sharp story has as many layers as a good pâte à choux.

Main PlayingWith Quotes main index Narrative
"'Busman's holiday' is an expression which refers to when people do the same thing on vacation that they do in their everyday lives, such as plumbers who visit the Museum of Sinks, or villains who disguise themselves even on their days off."
As Lemony Snicket explains above, a Busman's Holiday is a vacation spent doing things similar to one's normal work. The phrase was first recorded in 1893 in the UK. The idea is that a busman, to go off on a vacation, would take an excursion by bus, thereby engaging in a similar activity to his ordinary work.
A detective, for example, goes on holiday. While he or she is on that holiday, a murder will take place in the vicinity and they will be forced to solve that case. If the killer actually knows the detective is there, they're either very stupid, very arrogant or is plotting something big.
This trope is much more likely than not to be lampshaded. Often, upon finishing the impromptu adventure, the hero insists on returning back to work immediately stating he needs a vacation from his ruined vacation.
In anime, Hot Springs Episodes and Beach Episodes often turn out to be busman's holidays, especially if the show in question happens to be an action show. If a character doesn't do the job as a calling, but finds trouble anyway, they're probably a Mystery Magnet.
The simplest explanation for this phenomenon is that a regular vacation wouldn't make a very entertaining episode.
Compare Pulled From Your Day Off when the character gets called into his actual job from his vacation.

Avoiding Scams
Oprah.com | August 01, 2007
Getting scammed and losing hard-earned money to a slick swindler can leave anyone feeling upset and violated. Jean talks with Lois Vitt and Karen Murrell, authors of
You and Your Money: A No-Stress Guide to Becoming Financially Fit
, about how to steer clear of some common scams that people encounter.
The home improvement scam
usually involves someone posing as a handyman who knocks on your door and says that they just finished a home improvement project in your neighborhood and have extra materials and can offer you a deal on something like a new roof. "The person inside of you that wants to [get] a good deal says, 'Oh, okay!' and you don't stop and think about it because you are under pressure—the person is making you decide right away," Lois says. Remember, a legitimate business never makes you take a deal on the spot so Lois says that you should always wait a day or two before accepting the offer and take the time to check out the worker's references.
Credit repair scams
usually involve a company that promises to fix your bad credit report in a hurry. Lois says that this is
a scam. "An incidence of bad credit cannot be fixed in a hurry," she says.
Internet scams
can be especially appealing because the offer or deal may appear in your e-mail inbox from an official looking sender. "These con artists have become very good at sending messages that look really authentic," Karen says. Before handing over any private information through an online offer, Karen says that you should contact the business over the phone and confirm its legitimacy.
Travel or vacation scams
often request people to send money upfront for a free or discounted vacation. Karen says scam artists prey on people's desires and a free trip or vacation should always signal a red flag. "Nothing is free. You really have to question, and if the deal seems too good to be true [then] you really have to explore it further," she says.

Mobile app puts exercisers in the action
Last Updated: 16:11 August 23, 2013
Boulder-based FitTrip will use the money to market the mobile application, said company co-founder Shane Schieffer. The company plans to sell monthly and yearly subscriptions to the mobile application for iPad and possibly the iPhone, starting in November, he said.
Videos at various locations, along with related fitness information, helps users feel like they are in a location, Schieffer said. The user wears a heart-rate monitor device, which feeds personal information into the application.
"This is exciting for us. We didn't expect it to go this fast," Schieffer said of the Kickstarter fundraising. FitTrip's goal was to raise $7,500 in 40 days of the campaign.
Available mobile application videos include segments of road and trail trips for the annual Ride the Rockies bike ride in the Colorado mountains; at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison; along a bike path in Cozumel, Mexico; and along various routes in the French Alps, among other places. Schieffer said.
FitTrip plans to grow once it reaches 10,000 users buying either a monthly subscription at $5.99 or an annual subscription at $59.99, he said. The company has four employees, including co-founders Schieffer and Trey Marshall, who met each other at a Boulder-Denver New Tech networking event in Boulder. The third co-founder is Nikhil Patel.
Schieffer said he got the idea to create the mobile application one day when he was on an eight-mile run on a treadmill in a Boulder gym training for a half-marathon. To combat boredom, Schieffer visualized his favorite mountain biking trail and realized it was something other athletes might also be interested in.
One potential video is the running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, Schieffer said. A user would have to outrun the bulls or the video would stop early, he said. In general, FitTrip does not want to offer video applications that feel like video games, however, since most athletes don't seem to like them, he said.
So far, the company has focused on stationary bike, treadmill and elliptical users, Schieffer said. For details of the kickstarter campaign, go to: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1091456302/fittrip-the-world-from-your-gym/posts.

Gotta say: I LOVE having a Male GSD. Totally different from girls!!
I have had males and females of different breeds through being a volunteer foster carer.
Funnily enough I have always found the females to be more switched on to me. But maybe it's my personality. I found the boys to be a little aloof, and overly affectionate. Whereas the girls rarely left my side and were never pushy for affection. But I have never had the pleasure of owning a male GSD, just have a female at the moment, I couldn't possibly ask for a lovelier dog. In saying that, I'm not a tremendously cuddly person, I like my dogs to lay beside me peacefully and watch the world go by. As for having a clown, she makes me laugh daily, whether it be from stealing fruit off the tree with her acrobatics or just getting on the quad bike with me to feed the horses. Either way I love all dogs, male or female, giant or tea cup GSD being my favourite ofcourse. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

If I found a non-drama-queen female and had no other females, I *might* consider it, but sometimes you don't know what drama-queens they are until you have them home and another girl comes in.

I love these stories!
I have always owned males. Jackson is very 'lovey' and ALWAYS in my face-it gets annoying sometimes. But I have to admit, I do like having a cuddly moose. If I bend down to pick something up, or sit on the floor within his reach, there he is, in my face trying to 'touch' me with his nose, he follows me everywhere, and sneaks himself up onto my lap like I'm not going to notice. He's always just THERE waiting for love. He is a huge drama queen too might I add. I love him!

I love Shasta but she can be a total PITA when it comes to affection. My next GSD will be a male. Getting another female pup for me is not optional.

I love having a male as well! His personality is drastically different than any of the females we've had over the years. He is such a goofball, always looking to get attention and make people laugh, and he is such a BOY! lol Definitely a new experience (he's my first male as well) but I love him. He literally cannot give you enough kisses, if my face is covered in slobber, it still wouldn't be good enough. He isn't the cuddle bug type though....he hardly ever comes in my bed to snuggle with me. We snuggle on the floor before we get ready for the day.

Before you meet with a doctor or other health professional seeking help for quitting smoking, here are a few things to keep in mind.
At least one study of female smokers found that those who combine exercise and talking with friends for support do better in their attempts to quit.
After you consider a few questions and consult this checklist, you'll be ready to take the plunge and have your first tobacco-free day.
Stop confusing breaking free of the desire to smoke with merely waiting for the next time when you can smoke.

Steven Blodgett was diagnosed with a bone cancer in 2011. After 10 weeks of chemo he had to get his knee amputated, and then there was more chemo.
His mother Sonja Blodgett explains, "He's had more than just the average amputation challenge to get through."
Nearly 19,000 students from around the country wrote an essay for the Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life Essay Contest. Steven, a student at Morningside Elementary School, wrote about his battle with cancer. His essay won him a national prize and a chance to meet Jackie Robinson's daughter.
Sharon Robinson explained, "He talked about his own courage with his battle with cancer and it's really a very heart warming sort of long term story that he's been working on since 5 or 6. He's a real courageous kid."
Apparently a wonderful writer as well, but he almost kept his gift a secret; he wrote his essay using a pen name.
"So when we called in to validate that you know that this is the kid and he wrote the story, he said yes and by the way his real name is Steve Blodgett," said Robinson.
It's name you might want to watch out for. Steven plans on using his new computer he won in the contest to continue to write.

Cheyenne Police to help out for Jubilee Days
A new program will allow Laramie and Cheyenne police officers to help one another during the Jubilee and Frontier Days weekends this month.
The arrangement allows an employee of one city to work in another city as needed. The police departments have decided to pilot the program with a focus on preventing drunk driving during the two popular festivals, beginning this weekend.
Commander Mitchell Cushman of the Laramie Police Department says that while the Cheyenne officers will be actively patrolling for impaired drivers, they will be able to enforce all Laramie laws.
"So, even though they will be in Cheyenne police department vehicles, they will have the authority of the Laramie police department while they are here," says Cushman.
The additional officers will contribute to police visibility, added Cushman, which he hopes will encourage people to celebrate responsibly. The visiting officers will be in Laramie this Thursday through Saturday, assisting with late night coverage.

Meet Yoga Jane |
How long will it take, you may wonder? Some of the immediate effects of a customized yoga session include feeling peaceful and calm and a boost in self esteem. Unfortunately, quick-fix and fad diets come with a painful price tag. Only 12% of Americans who lose weight on a crash diet and maintain the weight loss for one year. The rest - 88% - not only gain back the weight much sooner, but many gain back even more than they lost. The best part of yoga is that it's for everyone. It doesn't matter if you are in shape or not. It doesn't matter what condition or disease you have. Forget what you've heard about yoga. You do not have to twist yourself up into a pretzel to do yoga. Yoga can be customized for you even if your obese, 90 years old or paralyzed. Yoga can be customized for your health needs or condition(s) or simply for your lifestyle. A yoga practice can be designed to enhance your career as a musician or a professional athlete.
If you would like to schedule a private yoga session or get more info please click here. Email me link. Most of the time you should expect a response within 48 hours.
HOW ARE YOU AGING? Did you know that the average adult repairs about 300 billion cells every single day? The food you eat, the activities you participate in, the thoughts you think, your mood, your relationships and your environment all influence how your cells repair and regenerate. For many people, as they age, they find that their new cells continue to get weaker and weaker. People recognize the weaker cells via a deterioration in their health. But there is always a choice in life, and you have been created with a natural, built-in repair system. Yoga coupled with a healthy lifestyle leads you to living a longer and more enjoyable life. While yoga won't make you immortal, if practiced regularly and correctly it can help you feel happier, get stronger, healthier and fitter. |

Fishers in Washington
Photo & Video Gallery
FISHER FEMALE F033 AND HER 2 KITS PLAYING Female F033 was released in January of 2009 and gave birth to at least 2 kits in March or April. She is the third female that we have dcoumented having kits so far in 2009.
We offer streaming video files in Windows Media format.
FIRST DOCUMENTED REPRODUCTION BY REINTRODUCED FISHERS IN OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK. [See Photos]
Fishers disappeared from Washington sometime in the mid 1900s due to over-trapping and loss of habitat. Efforts to reintroduced fishers to Olympic National Park on Washington's Olympic Peninsula began in January of 2008. Since 2008, 49 fishers have been reintroduced to Olympic National Park, however reproduction by a reintroduced female had not yet been documented, until now. A sequence of photographs shows radio-collared female fisher F007 climbing a suspected den snag, climbing down the snag and carrying kits in her mouth (on 4 occasions), and taking kits to a new location. Females commonly move their kits to new den sites when the kits become more mobile. Hopefully this is the first of many litters of fisher kits to be born in Olympic National Park.
FISHER RELEASE VIDEOS Video footage of 6 individual fisher releases was recorded by Olympic National Park (videos 1-6) and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (videos 7 and 8) videographers.

AdSense always seems to have a full inventory (4) of targeted ads to show and it's not always the same ads. YPN always shows just one ad in the entire spot and it's always the same ad.

PC Recycling Consumes 20x More Energy Than Reuse
Conventional wisdom: recycling is typically the best option for the stuff I don't want anymore.
Little-known factoid: recycling a PC consumes 20 times more energy than reusing it, according to a study by Eric Williams for the United Nations.
I was pretty stunned when I read that fact, too. As fun as it is to upgrade to the fastest machine I can get, figures like the above give me pause when I think about upgrading and disposing of my older PC. It also makes you realize the incredible environmental impact that Microsoft is belching onto the planet by producing such a lousy piece of bloatware that is Windows Vista. Just think about how many PCs were made irrelevant in the eyes of their owners when they chose to upgrade to Vista, as well as how much energy went into the the recycling of the 'old' PCs and the creation of their replacements. We should tally it up and send Microsoft the bill for the economic externalities it dumps onto society.
Luckily we Linuxers have more options. We can obtain those old PCs and load Linux onto them, which is certainly lighter than Windows Vista. Furthermore, if the PC is creaky old, we can install Linux with lightweight desktops like Xfce.
Now I only wish we could somehow install Splashtop onto older machines. Splashtop is a Linux-based application that you can boot right into within few seconds (even if it's a Windows machine) without a full-fledged boot to access core applications like Firefox, a mail client and Skype. I would go out and get a bunch of old laptops and have them around the house for spur-of-the-moment Web and email access.
Wouldn't that be a great use for our old hardware?

re-use of PC's
Just this past weekend I brought an old 350 MHz. Pentium II back to life using the PCLinuxOS-based "Tiny Me" distro. I am giving it away to a friend who doesn't have much money.
A couple of years ago the municipal government had one of those special "recycling/dispose of household hazardous wastes" days.
They had a "bin" for old computers and electronic gizmos. I could see that many of the computers could have very easily been brought back to life...and weren't in fact all that old...just seeing "ATX" boxes. When I inquired about scrounging a couple I was told "no"...they had given this recycling company an "exclusive" contract.
In the last year I've scrounged two Pentium III's, an early vintage Pentium IV and an AMD AthlonPro 1200...from the curb heading for the garbage.
Microsoft is not a "friend of planet earth". They bring out ever more bloated software that results in perfectly good computers being tossed out. Not only that, older peripheral devices often get tossed because there are no Windows drivers available for Windows X(tra) P(iggy) and Windows (Hasta la) Vista!
As a recycler
I'm an electronics recycler and I know it always hurts me to see people not reusing things that still have a lot of life left in them. I started a refurbishing and resale program as well as donations to alleviate the problem and it's going very well. We've been selling them with Linux installed and have everything from 100MHz on up, with a lot of positive response. Either way is better than landfilling, but hopefully more people will open up to buying reused as time goes on.
Just to get the discussion started...
...money is the root of all evil.
Yeah, that's a bit off-topic. However, I wish I lived in a world where knowledge and merit, not dollars and possessions, were the measure of value.
No, you got it a bit wrong....
The quote you are looking for is 'the LOVE of money is the root of all evil'. Money is a tool, a utility, a way to attempt to asses value, and a protection. But like any tool, it can be abused and used for evil or hurtful desires and schemes...
Unless you really think that the object, money in this case, is evil but I don't agree with that line of thinking. It is generally the use to which items are put to that detirmines whether they are evil or not. For example, a common kitchen knife is not evil, but it can be used to do the most evil of all things...
Well put, Mark. The problem is when the weaker side of our nature, i.e. our greed and shortsightedness, wins out over our more enlightened side. In the case of products, we somehow have a hard time seeing what is in our long-term interests, such as buying the energy-saving model that is more expensive up front but much more economical over the long term. We tend to be very blind in that way.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

New & classic episodes on demand
Formed in March 1979 by Eugene Reynolds (b. Alan Forbes) and Fay Fife (b. Sheilagh Hynde, Scotland), previously vocalists with Scottish band the Rezillos. HiFi Harris (guitar), Rocky Rhythm (drums) and three backing singers - Jane White, Jane Brown and Tricia Bryce - completed the band's original line-up, but within months the latter trio had been replaced by Babs and Cherie Revette. The Revillos made their debut with 'Where's The Boy For Me' in 1979, but although this exciting performance recalled the best of the previous band, it failed to emulate their success. Internal friction undermined the unit's undoubted potential - guitarists, bass players, and singers were replaced with regularity as Reynolds, Fife and Rhythm pursued their uncompromising vision. An album, Rev-Up, captured the Revillos' enchanting mixture of girl-group, beat and science fiction, but they were subsequently dropped by their record company. Undeterred, the band inaugurated Superville for ensuing releases and embarked on two gruelling tours of the USA and Canada, which they financed themselves. However, an anticipated contract failed to materialize and this ebullient act later disintegrated. They briefly re-formed in the mid-90s to tour Japan, captured on a 15-song live set.

Portait artist Bouldin III dies
Marshall Bouldin III, whose paintings have been displayed in the White House and in more than 400 public and private collections throughout the country, died Monday in Memphis, Tenn. He was 89.By: Associated Press report, Associated Press
CLARKSDALE, Miss. — Portrait artist Marshall Bouldin III, whose paintings have been displayed in the White House and in more than 400 public and private collections throughout the country, has died. He was 89.
Officials with Meredith-Nowell Funeral Home in Clarksdale, Miss., say Bouldin died Monday at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
Bouldin was once cited by the New York Times as "the South's foremost portrait painter."
He worked on his family's cotton farm until becoming a full-time portrait artist in 1956. Since then, he has painted the likenesses of more than 800 people, including William Faulkner, Mississippi Gov. William F. Winter, former U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright of Texas and two of President Richard Nixon's daughters, Tricia and Julie.
Bouldin was the first inductee of the National Portrait Artist Hall of Fame.

Your Halloween Surprise?
Last year Bloody-Disgusting brought you a fantastic Halloween present with the FIRST EVER IMAGES online from Freddy vs Jason, now this year, Moviehole.net has your Halloween present. Clint over at Moviehole has some great connections when it comes to Dimension films, and he's scored some new information on the Hellrasier & Halloween crossover entitled Helloween, unfortunately, it isn't the most exciting news, but its the most accurate truth out there right now and there's something new involved…
Moviehole writes, "Seems Dimension still isn't exactly sure that they're going to be doing the Michael vs. Pinhead movie and want the chance to clear it up. We received the following email from a studio contact, who's as close to the production as one could possibly get. "I don't know how many times we are going to have to say this and apologies for all the confusing stories, but the Halloween vs. Hellraiser project is NOT officially on. Any stories you hear to the contrary are false". The match-up is merely one of several ideas the studio are reportedly considering to form the basis of the next Halloween movie apparently, and it's a while off yet."
Did you catch this part, "The match-up is merely one of several ideas the studio are reportedly considering"? Looks like the future could hold some surprises!

Found a TON of .308 at the Walmart in Hartland on M59 this evening, had the 150gr Remington for 19.97 with the rebate. A little worried, but I have enough to kill a ton of Zombies or pumpkins.
No 223 left, but they had a bunch of 7.62x39 |

the guberment outlawed drugs and at one time, booze. we know how effective outlawing something is.
booze: generated a great smuggling industry. the fix was to legalize it again. drugs: MJ now being slowly legalized by various states. note: if i am (was) a mexican drug smuggler, am i breaking the law by shipping weeds and seeds to oregon, etc? maybe we should just outlaw MURDER |

I'm not old, honest...
How many have made the effort to write your senators & congressmen? My emails being sent to each.
Dear Mr. Levin, I am a 56 year old U.S. citizen who strongly opposes gun control. I believe our second amendment rights include MY right to own any gun and/or accessory that is CURRENTLY legal. Although a tragedy, the shooting in Newtown was not a result of the gun. It was a result of a troubled young man who STOLE the guns he used. Why is it that the city of Chicago, which has the strongest gun control in the country has the highest crime rates? Why? Because the citizens are not allowed to protect themselves. During these emotional times, I urge you to recognize that we have nothing to fear from the honest citizen and it is the criminals and emotionally impaired that need to be reviewed. Sincerely, Jim

I just may use what you have here and do the same. Do you think that using the postal way of mail is more of a way to get attention than opposed to email? |

Thomas Bryan Bettis, 35, is charged with felony murder, especially aggravated robbery and setting fire to personal property in connection with the death of Clifford M. Carden, according to the sheriff's office.
The Sequatchie County Sheriff's Office has charged Thomas Bryan Bettis, of Sequatchie, Tenn., in the death of Clifford M. Carden Jr.
Bettis, 35, was charged Tuesday with felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, and setting fire to personal property, according to a release from the sheriff's office. His girlfriend, Susan Lynette Baker, 35, of Graysville, Tenn., faces the same charges.
Bettis is in custody and is being held without bond, the release said.
Carden's body was found Thursday in the Sequatchie River by a man who was collecting cans along East Valley Road, Hitchcock said.
Carden, 55, of 560 New Harmony Road, in Graysville, had suffered trauma to his head before his body was dumped into the water under Pickett's Bridge, Sheriff Ronnie Hitchcock said during a news conference Friday.
Carden's car, a 1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, was discovered about 7 a.m. CST on Thursday on Old Union Loop, about 10 miles away from where his body was discovered.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext 353
VALHALLA, Aug. 1, 2011 – Westchester Medical Center's Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) closed for good Sunday morning, and the medical center's nurses are concerned.
The nurses' concern isn't for the loss of RN jobs – the unit's four nurses are being reassigned to other positions in the medical center. They're worried about their colleagues in support positions who have been laid off, but more so for the patients who have lost an essential, sometimes life-saving, community service.
"It's a disgrace that the medical center has abandoned a program that's so urgently needed," said Sandy Owen, RN, a member of the New York State Nurses Association, which represents the nurses at Westchester Medical Center. "Our community has already lost four county-run mental health clinics at a time when pressures on working families are increasing due to the difficult economy."
"Without the CPEP, the community has lost a staff that has been specially trained to evaluate and medicate violent or psychotic patients who were brought in by police," Owen said. "How can that be replaced?"
The center's reach has been extensive, it's staff has treated patients from not only the Lower Hudson region, but all of New York City's boroughs, and even as far north as the Canadian border. The program had been used for both adult and adolescent patients waiting for inpatient beds, further evaluation and referral to outpatient services, or transfer to other hospitals. These are patients who often have had little access to mental health services, particularly the children and adolescents.
This closure comes as the nurses are engaged in negotiations for a new contract, and illustrates their concern about the medical center's deteriorating commitment to its workforce.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

At the postsecondary educational level, a qualified student with a disability is a student with a disability who meets the academic and technical standards required for participation in the class, program, or activity. The standards for a student with a disability are the same as those for all students entering the program. However, a student with a disability may request and receive reasonable accommodations to demonstrate that he or she meets those standards.
For example, if an engineering program requires that all students demonstrate a prerequisite level of math proficiency by passing an entrance exam, a student with a disability must also demonstrate that level of math proficiency to be "otherwise qualified." However, the student may request and receive appropriate accommodations when taking the entrance exam or request an alternative exam format to demonstrate the prerequisite math skills.
For more information regarding students with disabilities who are otherwise qualified you should consult Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act [1] which requires that no "otherwise qualified" person with a disability be excluded from participation in any program that receives federal funds, which includes almost every postsecondary institution in the United States. For more information on Section 504 and education, consult Protecting Students with Disabilities: Frequently Asked Questions about Section 504 and the Education of Children with Disabilities [2].
The Americans with Disabilities Act [3], another civil rights law that covers postsecondary institutions, includes a definition of a qualified individual with a disability [4].

Why Chanel's Re-Issued Premiere Watch Is So Coco Chanel
Feb 15, 2013 @ 6:05 pm
Coco Chanel never designed a watch during her prolific career, but every timepiece made by the House of Chanel reflects the couturière's legacy. The Camellia, her signature flower, appears on some special watches. Her beloved pearls on others. The designer's favorite colors of black and white can be found on the sleek J12 ceramic designs. Yet, arguably, no timepiece channels Coco Chanel more clearly than the very first one, the Première. Launched in 1987, it featured a chunky gold chain that reflected the famous bag straps and an octagonal case inspired by the shape of the octagon stopper on a bottle of Chanel No. 5. Now, Chanel has gently revamped the watch with more delicate links and a variety of incarnations, including deluxe gold and diamonds pieces and everyday versions in steel. Watch the video above to see it in action, and visit chanel.com for store locations to snap one up of your own.

Ahleuchatistas' music is something akin to sonic parkour, a race of immense speed and skill, physical prowess, mental fortitude and ninja-like reflexes. It's also about the onstage symbiosis of Shane Perlowin (guitar) and Ryan Oslance (percussion), a duo refined and synthesized over a decade of experimentation, exploration, touring and recording. Asheville has known this band through the years and lineup changes, but the rest of the world is just catching on — especially since the release of last year's critically acclaimed Heads Full of Poison, and the band's jaw dropping Moogfest performance. They'll play a special hometown show (with guest Shenzhen) at Isis on Wednesday, June 19. 9 p.m., $7. http://www.isisasheville.com. Photo by Courtney Chappell

The only thing missing from this article is the unpleasant fact that this is the left´s plan. They need a nation of "Julias" to thrive.
St Valentine was eventually tortured and then beheaded. I wouldn´t wish that on anyone.
The decline in marriage has been caused by domestic relations judges who rape men of their assets when their skank wives files for divorce. Marriage is a financial disaster for a man.
You´re hoping those that ´caused´ the problem will solve it???What are you smoking?
#3 should not insult the female members of this salon. Sorry you had a bad experience, but I´m guessing that no one forced you into the marriage. It was not arranged; you chose her yourself.

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence in Scotland of Her Majesty The Queen, stands at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile against the spectacular backdrop of Arthur's Seat.
The absurdities of fashion, the perils of love, political machinations and royal intrigue were the daily subject matter of Thomas Rowlandson, one of the leading caricaturists of Georgian England.
Rowlandson was working at a time when English satirical prints were prized by collectors across Europe. A number of the works in the exhibition were purchased by George, Prince of Wales, later Prince Regent and King George IV. Ironically the Prince was often the butt of caricaturists' jokes and sometimes tried to prevent the publication of images that he felt were particularly offensive.Through Rowlandson's drawings and prints, the exhibition examines life at the turn of the 19th century.
Opening times:
Palace Of Holyroodhouse - Getting There:
By train: Edinburgh Waverley. The Palace is a 15-minute walk from the station.
By coach: Open-top tour buses stop nearby. Coach parking is provided free of charge.
By bus: Number 35 and 36 stop near the Palace.
By road: Public car park situated alongside the Palace
Address: Palace of Holyroodhouse, Canongate, The Royal Mile, EH8 8DX
