He certainly didn't improve over last offseason. What makes you so sure he will this one?
Jared Barnett is a class act and a great Cyclone, but if things move the way that they might and he finds himself looking at another #3 spot on the depth chart next year behind Richardson and Rohach, I would not fault him at all for transferring for playing time if he chose. If he decided to stay, it would just cement his reputation and legacy as a true Cyclone. He will always live on in our history as the QB for the famous Oklahoma State game.
JB is a great team player, therefore a great Cyclone. Would really hate to lose him.
We are all hoping that Sam R. is so good that he's on a completely different level than Barnett. I doubt Barnett thinks that, and I'm going to need to see a game other than KU or WVU to be convinced it's true.
Originally Posted by cyrocksmypants I like JB and appreciate everything he's done for the team and the program, but what makes everyone think he'd make a good coach? Just because he's a team player and a Rah-Rah guy? I mean, he's regressed tremendously, and, other than an ability to run the read option, I haven't seen a ton showing he can read and pick apart defenses. Just because you're a really good guy doesn't mean you'd be a good coach. Or a good player, for that matter. Not saying he couldn't be, but other than being a team player, I just don't know what others are seeing to make this assumption. I base my opinion on comments that CPR has made about JB being a very intelligent football player who has a deep understanding of the game and is very intelligent. His intelligence and knowledge are the things that have enabled him to be a starting QB at a Big XII school despite not having as much natural physical talents as others at this level. Add to that his non-complaining attitude that is displayed in public towards his teammates that are competing for the QB job. And his reactions that are displayed towards those teammates when they have some success. Plus JB has been manning the headset and relaying info from upstairs in the box to his teammates that happen to be in the game. That is what I see. Plus JB's father is a successful coach. IMO, he might follow in his footsteps and possibly have picked up the coaching attributes from his father and the environment he was raised in. Coaching seems to get into the Family Blood. Look at all the great coaches who had fathers that were coaches. Like CPR for example.

Yes, I really hope we see either JB or Sam put together two good games here heading into next year.
As others have said, no way JB transfers. He has used his redshirt and would only have one year eligibility. He is a great teammate (from what I hear) and he has a great attitude. I have a Senior football player in on of my classes (who I will leave nameless for his benefit) that has said that Jantz is not a very good teammate and have never heard the same about JB. I would be sad to see him go if by some crazy reason he did. JB is a huge part of cyclone history, even if its only for one game, and still has a lot to offer IMO. The kid is only a Sophomore. There's plenty of time for improvement and we have seen multiple times that CPR isn't afraid to mix it up if he thinks its best for the team.

Barnett is still one of the worst throwers I've seen as an ISU fan. End of story. Maybe Waye Terry is behind him.

We have had far worse. Steele Jantz has looked worse than Barnett on many occasions. Which is probably the reason he has lost his job to Barnett a couple of times. Your hatred of Barnett is clouding your memory.

Please note: The following information has been provided to NYSNA from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). We are offering this information for our members to use, and share freely.
Tragically, many lost friends and loved ones during this dangerous storm, while even more lost their possessions, homes and peace of mind. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the disaster. As communities along the east coast slowly recover, members of the emergency management community are working closely with state and local officials to support affected individuals and communities.
Given the severe flooding many communities experienced, individuals are encouraged to visit FloodSmart.gov for important tools, tips and guidance for recovery after a flood. FloodSmart is the official website of the National Flood Insurance Program. Since standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover flooding, it's important to have protection from the floods associated with hurricanes, tropical storms, heavy rains and other conditions that impact the U.S. To learn more about floods, flood insurance or how to file a claim, visit Floodsmart.gov today.
Power utility providers are in the process of restoring power – which is expected to take several days in some areas. Tips to remember during a power outage:
Disaster Medical Assistance Teams are on the ground, assisting in those areas where the medical infrastructure has been overwhelmed. As we continue to keep you informed about our response and support efforts, we want to ensure you know how to apply for federal assistance:
In addition to these ways to apply, you can visit a disaster recovery center in your area and search for disaster recovery centers on your smartphone.
The American Red Cross has mobilized hundreds of its disaster workers, readying shelters and coordinating efforts with community partners in affected states. To find an open Red Cross shelter, download the Red Cross Hurricane app or visit redcross.org/find-help/shelter.
You may also search for shelters through FEMA: text SHELTER and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA). Before you go to a shelter, always check with your local emergency management agency for availability and services.
After disaster strikes, many across the country offer their support in whatever way they can, so we will continue to get the word out about where you can volunteer or donate to help disaster survivors. Be wary of scam artists that show up after a disaster as well.
Along with its federal partners, FEMA is working closely with state, local and tribal governments on response efforts and is concurrently beginning recovery operations to support those affected individuals and communities. Additionally:
Sharing information using social media tools is also a good way for residents to stay informed:
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.

The first thing I noticed when I got this product is what is great VALUE it is! There are actually two sheets of frames, one with twelve frames going down in size from largest to smalles, and one page with more oval shaped larege frames and 7 total with small frames off to the side 9 total that can be used to frame journaling, a picture, anything you can think up!. The frames look great raw or inked, stamped, painted, chalked, etc.
Great Product!
I just love these tiles! The shapes are awesome. They are perfect for layering, and adding that extra special "pizazz" to pages. These are so easy to color, you can of course paint, them, but I prefer the quick and simple method of glimmer mists!
This package has so many frames and sizes, enough to use for both scrapbook pages of different sizes and cards.
Because they are white, there are so many techniques you can use to personalize them. Loovvveee Them!

Hometown: Westerville, Ohio
What has been your most memorable class thus far?
I took a first-year seminar called "Brand-New Poetry" that I really enjoyed. We took a field trip to The Grolier (a poetry store in Cambridge) and had dinner together afterward. We also had the opportunity to meet some of the poets we discussed in class!
What is your favorite Wellesley memory thus far?
At the beginning of my first semester, Wellesley provided a bus to Provincetown in Cape Cod for anyone who wished to go. It was a wonderful way to meet new people and "P-Town" was a beautiful place to explore. The group that I was in during that trip is still very close.
What fun events have you attended?
The English Department's winter party; there was lots of delicious food and plenty of good conversation!
What are you passionate about?
Right now, I'm working with some friends at Harvard to create an e-commerce website that will provide low-cost organic "superfoods," as well as information about healthful eating habits to people who may not otherwise have access to such things.
What is your favorite eating spot on campus.
I love getting a pastry at The Emporium on special occasions. It's such a treat!
How have you changed during your time here?
At Wellesley, I have become better at asking questions. That is to say, I am less hesitant to ask them in the first place, and I phrase them in such a way so as to enlarge the scope of the question to receive more information. This may seem basic and insignificant, but it has really enhanced my learning and has allowed me to better understand the material.
What is a fun fact about yourself?
Three of my favorite things are movie trivia, dark chocolate, and TED Talks.

It's hard to imagine that this baby-faced, rosy-cheeked cherub is a third-year med student, but he is and he's broke. Caleb is a really shy guy who's never done anything like this before, but dire circumstances call for creative solutions. To overcome the stress that school engenders, jerking off is a nice release, so why not make a couple of bucks taking the edge off and keeping him from falling behind on school payments? This future doc certainly knows his way around his great anatomy as he massages his 'corpus delicti' resulting in an expulsion of semen so explosive it should be recorded in medical journals. We congratulate Caleb on his ingenuity and nimble bedside manner - the perfect remedy to cure the blues.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas— Texas A&M women's golf senior Mary Michael Maggio has been named the Player of the Week by Golf Week.
Maggio was honored after her performance at the Liz Murphey Fall Preview, Oct. 5-7, in which she finished first individually. She had an overall score of 213 (-3) and shot an incredible five-under-par in the third round Sunday, during which she birdied three times on the back nine and eagled the 17th hole. Her performance on Sunday moved her from 15th place at the end of the second round to winning the entire competition.
The Liz Murphey win was the second for Maggio, who was the top medalist at the 2012 Big 12 Championships last April in Lawrence, Kan.
Maggio will be back in action with the rest of her team this weekend, as the Texas A&M women's golf team competes at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate in Knoxville, Tenn., Friday through Sunday.

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
May 26, 2011 |
HARTFORD MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO FEDERAL CHARGE David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that JOSUE MERCADO, also known as "Ariel," 29, of Hudson Street, Hartford, pleaded guilty today before United States District Judge Christopher F. Droney in Hartford to one count of possession of stolen mail. According to court documents and statements made in court, beginning in June 2010, MERCADO participated in a scheme to steal tax refund checks issued by the United States Treasury. As part of the scheme, MERCADO acted as a courier between a United States Postal Service letter carrier and individuals located in New York City. The letter carrier would steal treasury refund checks from the mail and provide the checks to MERCADO. MERCADO then paid the letter carrier for his role in the scheme and delivered the checks to other scheme participants in New York. On March 9, 2011, MERCADO received and possessed 11 envelopes containing federal tax refund checks that he knew to be stolen from the U.S. mail. As part of his plea agreement, MERCADO has acknowledged that the U.S. Treasury has suffered losses of between $10,000 and $30,000 as a result of his involvement in the scheme. Judge Droney has scheduled sentencing for August 12, 2011, at which time MERCADO faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000. This ongoing investigation is being conducted by the United States Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General; the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christopher M. Mattei. | |

Woman rising
With the dawn of the cycle of the Divine Feminine, we will see a new world order of co-creation, collaboration, relationship, body awareness, and earth connection, says Sukhvinder Sircar

by Sukhvinder Sircar
There are two kinds of people in the world.
Women and their children.
Who does not
happy endings? December 21, 2012, brought us to the mother of all happy endings. The Ascension of Mother Earth. And with her, all her children got a consciousness piggyback ride as well. It is the most exciting and nail-biting decision point in history weve ever had. And with this, our planet moves into the soft, welcoming energy of the feminine.
This time heralds the end of a kalpa and the beginning of another. The Mayans, whove built very accurate predictions of the cyclical nature of time, ended their calendar on December 21, 2012. Of course, this became the favourite subject for fear-mongers to whip up a frenzy of dreadful scenarios of
and mass extinction. Why on earth would Spirit want that for us?
Across the globe, light-workers celebrated the end of 2012 with spectacular events, mass meditations, powerful ceremonies at sacred sites, and great joy! As predicted, the Earth sailed into the new energy of truth,
and oneness. All of those who worked hard to midwife this transition can sit back for a while and enjoy the sweet fruit of their labour. Weve all passed through the birth canal and are born anew! It is really a great time to be present on Earth and witness such a momentous transition. Those of us who have been following the shift have never felt so optimistic about our future.
Being an Evolutionary, I don't think going back to the way things used to be could ever be an appropriate response to the rapid and significant change that we're all in the midst of today. In fact, there is no going back.
is a moving train. Cosmic evolution, biological evolution, and cultural evolution are all going somewhere new. We're all living in a very special time. It's a time when this profound evolutionary development can be felt and seen more palpably and more tangibly than ever before.
-Andrew Cohen
The signs
What does the new world order mean for us? For starters, we end the world of duality. And ring in the world of oneness. We move away from the rigidly held mind structures of right and wrong, big and small, before and after, problem and solution, good and evil, sacred and profane. In one stroke, we bring to a close hierarchical, top down, autocratic power structures. The reporting structure changes from complying with outward authority to wholly owning ones inner authentic self. This is especially significant for women, who are now moving away from submissive, approval-seeking behaviour into new wise inner authority. Women are reclaiming and standing in their power. This is the first wave of transition. Women are on the front lines of consciousness now, says Lucia Rene, author of the path-breaking book,
Unplugging the Patriarchy
. The concept of linear time, of past and future, is collapsing, And with the collapse of straight-line time into circular time, interestingly, the finite and infinite begin to merge, and for the first time, we are having an experiential understanding of oneness.
Does the changeover of power excite you, or does the crumbling of the old world order seem scary? Transition times can cause terror, as the familiar way of being disappears. There is good news for us, though.
"Women are reclaiming and standing in their power. Women are on the frontlines of consciousness now."
- Lucia Rene
The magnetics of the earth acts as a glue of consciousness, and as the glue is becoming weaker and weaker, we have a greater opportunity to transcend the beliefs and fears that have been held so strongly for 5,000 years. Perhaps we are not all aware of how powerfully our planets changing magnetic field influences our consciousness.
From the Harmonic Convergence that occurred on August 17, 1987, began the projected 25-year culmination of the 5,125-year Great Cycle of History, as well as the 26,000-year cycle of evolution, both of which ended in December 2012. This day was the commencement of mass spiritual awakening. The Venus Transit in May 2012 was the true heralding of the Cycle of the Divine Feminine. By placing herself before the sun, it was her way of declaring her arrival to Earth beings. It was a beautiful example of the partnership of the mascu- line and feminine, with the rays of the sun carrying her energy to us.
At this time, physical reality and con- sciousness dovetail into an amazing win- dow of opportunity to create what we want. Because of the way the magnetics are hold- ing consciousness now, anything that is not in integrity will collapse in itself. This will explain why many of you have been having a turbulent time with relationships, health, finance and other aspects of your life. Holding a strong intent to come into the deepest integrity gives the universe per- mission to respond with alacrity.
With the end of the domination model, an egalitarian world of equality and fair distribution of power and resources is on the way. The vision of the new leaders is radically different. We move from ego-friendly to eco-friendly. The planet is becoming more compassionate. The number of heal- ers and spiritual teachers springing up is a testament to this. More and more are becoming focussed on caring for the environment, while vegetarianism as well as its more radical cousin, veganism, is becom- ing increasingly mainstream. As a collective, we move into heart-centred co-existence. It is fascinat- ing how the role of
has become pivotal in the way we navigate our world now. Thanks to the rise of the social media, almost anyone can find an adda of their choice, where common interests and worldviews can be shared and fuelled.
Since the new way of being reflects the feminine way of inclusiveness and co-existence, this new phase is fittingly called the Cycle of the Divine Feminine. The Feminine holds a deep knowledge of cycles within her. You may be feeling the beginning of this cycle in so many ways. Coming into
your wounds and shadows, adopt- ing a healthy lifestyle, meditating and praying regu- larly, finding your own inner authority and voice, liv- ing your passion and purpose, vocational fulfilment, a deep, personal firsthand connect with the Divine, being some such signs.
You may also be feeling the presence of this energy by gaining new insights into para- doxes. As the either/or framework is collapsing, one will be able to hold both polarities of reality simultaneously, and realise that there never was a split. When we can do this, a very remark- able new reality emerges. For example, the patriarchy had separated the mate- rial and spiritual, heaven and earth, human and divine. We will see the illu- sion of this in the feminine energy, which will bring forth a beautiful merg- ing and melding of spirit and matter, human and divine. We will experience wholeness in a way never before experienced. When everything becomes sacred, there is no opposite.
So while the patriarchy was linear, rational, logical, polarised, hierarchical, power over, and exploitative, the Divine Feminine holds the wis- dom of cycles, co-creation, collaboration, relation- ship, body awareness, and earth connection.
No judgement
The patriarchy was a learning ground. When the men were handed the reins of power in the begin- ning of patriarchy, they needed to learn the lesson of handling power. If we can really pull back and look at the patriarchy without judgement, we have indeed ended that show for us. If, however, there is still judgement, anger, aggression, or any other emotion, we are still plugged into the energies of patriarchy. The patriarchy exists only because we allow it to exist. Weve bought into the patriarchy. Its a conditioning, says Lucia Rene. There is truly no one to blame.
No one is responsible for these old ways that are ending now. Just as no one is responsible for the
of the past, no one is responsible for the shift which is occurring now. It is time, simply put it is time, say the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, a group of elders standing for prayer, education and
of Mother Earth.
In the patriarchy, the energies of both the feminine and masculine operated from a corrupted space. The dominator/victim model sublimated the beautiful divine aspects of these energies, and chose to oper- ate from a debased state. Both men and women had lessons to learn. The men, especially, had to learn that control and domination was never the way for- ward. Power became a bad word through repeated misuse. Aamir Khan did an excellent job of showing us how deeply the rot of patriarchy has entered the fabric of society in his TV show,
Satyameve Jayate
As the time comes for them to hand over the mantle to the feminine aspect, and especially women, many
are going to be stirred within the men.
If you are a man, what would be the most empowering question to ask at this time, as you heal the wounds of patriarchy and embrace the Divine Feminine within?
Barbara Marx Hubbard: A leading light among women
If you are a woman, what would be the most empowering question to ask at this time, as you heal the wounds of patriarchy and embrace the Divine Feminine within?
Divine partnership
This article is an invitation to embrace and celebrate the Divine Feminine with an open heart. She exists equally in both women and men, just as the Divine Masculine does. Its important to note that the Divine Feminine cycle is not a reversal of the power structure from men to women. The feminine brings in the sacred union, a true honourable partnership of the masculine and feminine. She rises now in great beau- ty,
and power in all of us. For women, these are especially exciting times, as they are being called to lead us into the brave new world. The wise woman archetype emerges like a phoenix from the flames. Had she really gone away?
There is no judgement in the new cycle. Patriarchy simply means a male-dominated society. The war of the sexes is truly over, as we shift into something sacred. There are only lessons to be learnt. While we hold both the energies, men are more attuned to the masculine and women are more tuned in to the feminine, in most cases.
The calling of this time is for
and integration. Many of us have already begun this journey. It is noteworthy that women have sensed the calling of this cycle and had begun their
and wholing journey in right earnest many decades ago. Many of them are already poised as the new world leaders to take us forward.
Self-love and Mother Earth
Our bodies are made of the same stuff as Earth. Whatever happens to Earth happens to our bodies. The patriarchy cycle we just completed was all about separation and fear. We split away from our true essence. We compensated for our self-hate by domi- nation of others, especially Mother Earth. We exploited the Earth, cut up her moun- tains, deforested her, blasted her body to take her oil and mineral, and turned her waters into garbage dumps. We created weapons of mass destruction, shed blood copiously, and controlled which gods the masses should worship. All these actions stemmed from the patriarchal energies gone corrupt. The masculine lost its way, and took the planet to the brink of extinction.
There is a profound connect between self-love and our relation to Mother Earth. As we begin to integrate our broken, wounded, split selves, heal the inner child, acknowledge ourselves with love, retrieve our authority from wherever we had given it away, connect to our deeper purpose, and begin to live a
that feeds our soul light,
"No one is responsible for these old ways that are ending now. It is time, simply put... it is time."
-International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers
we bring ourselves more and more into self-love. Self-love brings us to a very healing, intimate relation to Mother Earth, connects our heart- beat to hers, builds a connect with her elements, as was prevalent in Vedic times. The indigenous, tribal cul- tures still hold this reality in an untouched way, though they have been hounded and killed by the thousands.
What men must do
The way back for men into their integrity begins by laying down the armour of domination. Wars and creating terror are not the ways to resolution. The guardian became the abuser, and unleashed brutality on the very ones he was committed to being guardian to. Armies felt it legitimate to rape the women of their defeated opponents. The lessons for men in the patriarchy had been to handle power responsibly. It did get out of hand! Men had shut down their emotional bodies, lost connection with the heart, and operated from the head. This is precisely the reason why they could wage wars, create and use sophisticated weapons of mass destruction, and why heartless acts of misogyny like killing of girl children and burning of brides was possible.
had been locked away, as men have been taught since childhood that showing emotion is unacceptable. This was the high price men paid to live up to a macho image. A vital part of them shut down, as
became the measure of a mans self-worth and failure their biggest fear. There is an Irish saying that you do not give a man weapons until youve taught him how to dance. You do not teach a man the skills of war until youve taught him the skills of poetry. A man who cannot say a poem shouldnt be armed at all. This makes tremendous sense, as a man who is not connected to beauty and soul cannot be trusted to use power with balance. For too long, innocent men have died in the crossfire of other mens wars. A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live, says Lao Tzu in Tao Te Ching. What would it take a man to step out of intellectual superiority, clever arguments and smart decisions, and make heartfelt, intuitive choices?
A man has to unlearn his belief that his worth is measured by possessions, power, position and status. The hero archetype of the movies sets an impossible standard. A man has to open his heart to
and come into vulnerability. He must learn to ease out of doing mode into being. And deep love from ones own feminine can allow men to slowly unwind, let go, and relax into non-doing. There is a deep conditioning that female is the weaker sex, and men have been reluctant to express it for fear of ridicule from both men and women. A reaction from men has been why would I want to embrace my weaker side? So,
is required to un-programme ourselves from a distorted view of the feminine. Sushovan Sircar, a young Kolkata-based journalist working for the
, says, Having grown up in an all-boy's school, the seeds of patriarchy were perhaps sown subconsciously at a very young age. Playing with dolls were a strict no-no and later, wearing pink was sheer blasphemy. However, as I took up English literature in college, gradually, but surely, I came to realise the extent to which my feminine side had been relegated into dormancy. As the masculine and feminine both exist within me in equal measure, giving each an equal voice will naturally enhance and enrich my understanding and appreciation of the world around me.
The mens consciousness movement is a fairly new phenomenon. At the Million Man March, Oct. 16, 1995, where two million black men congregated in Washington, the official statement, "...we dare to atone...(for) accepting the worst and weakest conceptions of ourselves...for collaborating in our own oppression...for lacking the moral consideration and human consideration towards others that we want for ourselves," a beginning of sorts was made.
Interesting and deep
is happening by men who are accessing the clear masculine energies in the world. Prominent among them is Robert Bly, an award-winning poet and student of mythology and Jungian psychology. Bly attributes the deep confusion and alienation experienced by modern-day men to the start of the Industrial Revolution. It was then, Bly says, as men moved off the land and into the factories, that fathers began separating physically and emotionally from their families and from earth. Those most affected were young boys who lost not only the emotional security of the father, but the presence and participation of other, older men in their lives. Over time, men lost touch with what Bly calls 'the male mode of feeling'... something that gives the son a certain confidence, an awareness, a knowledge of what it is to be male. It is beautiful how Bly weaves his own feminine, poet, story-teller,
side to repair the masculine.
In his bestselling book,
The Way of the Superior Man
, David Deida explores the most important issues in mens lives, from career and family to women and intimacy to
and spirituality, to offer a practical guidebook for living a masculine
of integrity, authenticity, and freedom. Michael Meade, author of
Men and the Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of Men
, Arjuna Ardagh, founder of the Awakening Coaching training programme, California, are also on the forefront of Mens Consciousness Movement.
What women must do
Womens work, on the other hand, is of embracing their spirituality, shedding their victimhood, worthlessness, belief of being second-class and therefore less. Over thousands of years of patriarchal oppression, women disconnected from their power and their bodies. Being powerful and spiritual was fraught with
risk. It is estimated that more than 50,000 women were killed, burnt at the stake in witch-hunts between 1480 to 1750 in Europe and North America. British linguist, RH Robbins, called the systematic vilification of women by orthodox Christianity "the shocking nightmare, the foulest crime and deepest shame of Western civilisation." Somewhere along the way, woman lost her voice.
Among the women on the forefront are leaders like Barbara Marx Hubbard, a futurist, author and public speaker, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, the author of
Women Who Run With The Wolves
, feminist poet
Angelou, and Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, author of
Goddess in Everywoman
. Riane Eislers pathbreaking book,
The Chalice and the Blade
first published
"I have stopped hiding my sunshine so others don't feel insecure. I feel powerful, fearless, beautiful, a woman of substance."
-Dr. Meenakshi Rajan
in 1987 pulled the cover off patriarchal distortion of history and the dominator culture. This and Merlin Stones
was a Woman
, are some prominent works that help women find their way out of the brambles of patriarchy. While these works belong to the Western culture, the victimhood of women run across the globe, and are relevant everywhere.
The Chipko movement is an excellent indigenous example of what happens when women reclaim their power. The peasant women in Uttarakhand spearheaded a movement to prevent the cutting of trees to reclaim their traditional forest rights that spread throughout India and led to formulation of people-sensitive forest policies. The 13 Indigenous Grandmothers represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children. They are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life.
It needs to be noted that women leaders work without fanfare and publicity. A womans
happens quietly (particularly as the media does not report them) and invisibly, so the world may not be aware of the tremendous initiatives being taken by them to bring the balance back on earth. Many of them do this simply by being who they are and embodying the nurturing, nourishing and healing energy so needed for these times. The Master doesn't talk, she acts. When her
is done, the people say, "Amazing: we did it all by ourselves! Lao Tzu, Tao TeChing.
Nevertheless, they too have
to do. Ive met so many women who are all brilliant, talented, articulate, accomplished, successful, versatile, intuitive, responsible, juicy, but have low self-worth and selfimage. Women have tried to emulate mens ways in a mens world, and lost the way. When Barbara Marx Hubbard began her journey to claim her feminine self some decades ago, she realised there was no self-image for women after 25. However, glimmers of the feminine way can be seen in the
and presence of people like Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, the Burmese freedom fighter Aung San Suu Kyi, and our very own Vandana Shiv, doughty conservationist and environmentalist.
The way back for a woman is to connect with her body and her monthly cycle. It is her daily mystery school. When she does that, she connects to her ancient wisdom. Women have treated their bodies in the same way that patriarchy has treated them. Trying to fit into impossible body images provided by the media, they have starved, cut, and surgically altered their body shape in an attempt to comply with the model. Body became an adversary, and aging a mistake to be corrected. Because of the way patriarchal media promoted women, looking attractive to men was a very important parameter of selfworth. Only by reclaiming the dignity of her body can she truly embody the feminine.
Some of the powerful archetypes women are really connecting with now is that of the Goddess, the Crone, the Queen, the Healer, and the Mystic. Women are also returning to their sacred circles, and embracing friendships with other women. As each woman claims her authentic self, she tips the balance of power back to equality, and makes it easier for other women to come into their own.
Women who are connecting and living from their true feminine essence have amazing experiences to share. Dr.Meenakshi Rajan, author, historian and professor at Somaiya college, says, I may have faltered, needed assistance, been ignorant, felt less intelligent, weak, timid, and needy, but now in my 45th year, I know for sure that I am a survivor and that I have substance. I have stopped hiding my sunshine so that others dont feel insecure. The time has come to stop being too accepting and tolerant at the cost of my soul fire. I have also worked on my tendency to be overly sensitive, unhealthily giving and sacrificing. I have now set healthy boundaries, and do not indulge in unconscious self-destructive behavior. I feel powerful, fearless, beautiful, a woman of substance. Im finally free to pursue my own fulfilment without guilt.
Becoming whole
As self-love emerges, a woman begins to honour her body, and pause and rearrange her life. She begins to listen to deep inner stirrings to feed her soul-fire, flesh out her dried and atrophied skin, sing her soul song and dance her unique dance.
Says Sunita Chugh, editor, writer, H R consultant, I used to hold my father in great awe and great fear till last year. I knew he meant a lot to me, but I could not feel any positivity towards him. As I searched and struggled to find the feminine within me, I found a small chink of gratitude for him in one of my many sessions with other women who were also searching for themselves. I finally made
with him by taking on a mother position and loving him like my child unconditionally. In the last one year, I have experienced our relationship bloom into one of love, respect, peace and solidarity.
When a woman begins her
process, she connects to nourishing emotions and qualities. The last bastion for woman is to give up her shame, which was the most powerful way in which patriarchy bound women. She became the upholder of honour, and even if she was raped, it was she who brought dishonour to her family and clan. The patriarchy had the strange rule of punishing the victim, and not the oppressor. When a woman becomes free of her shame, she becomes invincible.
As much as men, women also held patriarchal energies. Being Shakti herself, she sought her power outside of her. Anuradha Prasad, a group process facilitator, OD consultant, who currently heads the Indian Society of Applied Behavioural Science, says.
"I made
with my father by taking on a 'mother' position and loving him like my child unconditionally."
- Sunita Chugh
One main aspect I got in touch with is that I MUST as a professional be always DOING something, working, writing, reading... If I chill out for a couple of days, perhaps giving my body a muchneeded rest, I start feeling guilty! The compulsive need is to feel useful all the time. I am learning to just BE in my many moods and feelings.
Alas, so many caring women have not yet learnt self-care.
Bhanumathy Vasudevan, a Diversity and OD Consultant, has been working with women in the marginalised and NGO sector as well as top bureaucrats, on bringing in a feminine leadership model. Says she, For over two decades my colleague, Alexandra Merrill, and I have been working to develop a model that is applicable to groups of women. Our concept of leadership is not based on role, position, class and caste, IQ ; it is about what you are, what you do, how you learn and evolve and what you become.
That the world is ready for this kind of egalitarian approach became evident when it was offered as a programme at the Institute of Responsible Leadership in XLRI and won an award. What is more, men came flocking to attend it, drawn by the title An Inclusive Model of Group Dynamics and Leadership: Learning from Laws of Nature.
Says Bhanumathy, We were pleasantly shocked and realised that the world is now ready to receive us women as who we are. In our full potential and brilliance.
At this time on our planet both men and women are on an amazing journey to build back the trust that was broken. Women hold deep distrust in their bodies in the belief that the world is unsafe. As they heal, they are gradually letting go of the betrayal and anger they feel against men. Men are gradually learning to embrace the gentle nurturing qualities, and trust and surrender to their intuition and body rather than their rational self. At this time, they are invited to clear the programming of women being lesser, or objects of gratification, and to come forward to be the support, protection and encouragement for women to come into their full power. A beautiful yin-yang model of partnership, harmony, balance and interdependence will enable us to sail into the new world with joy.

Community contributions to SRVHS Swim Center
Original post made by [removed] on May 23, 2011
Alamo region neighborhoods, reaching to Diablo Road in Danville, are considering contributions to the new swim center at SRVHS. In the previous efforts to fund a new swim center at SRVHS, an R-7A (Alamo parcel tax) grant was planned to support construction in a similar manner to R-7A support of MVHS pool. The $3.5 million project will likely require public contributions including such parcel tax grants to insure its approval and completion.
SRVUSD board members are to discuss the new SRVHS pool including Danville government's commitment of $500,000 to the project. It would be timely for regional neighbors to provide SRVUSD board their interests in committing to community contribution to this swim center project.

In a recent survey, 98% of Australians cited that they would prefer to make online purchases from local retailers - but a huge 85% are instead turning to overseas stores, in order to secure cheaper prices and better deals.
The findings come from MasterCard's latest survey, which found that Australians consciously want to support local online retailers and would actively seek them out to make purchases, but only if prices were competitive to those offered by overseas retailers.

Australian retailers are entering into the Christmas season with high spirits, but few expect to see more than 2% of sales from their online channel, according to a new Deloitte report.
The Christmas Retailers' Survey 2012 found many interesting trends regarding the current state of retail in Australia, yet the key issue within the findings appeared to be that online is still not a top priority for retail heads.

Customer experience is now the real differentiator. Once a visitor arrives at your site, it's vital to make the most of every moment by delivering a compelling and personalised experience.
Customers are more demanding than ever, so it's essential to be switched-on to what will tip them from being a browser to a buyer, and how to increase basket value. However, this can seem increasingly daunting.
In a world with multiple channels, devices, customer segments, influencers, languages, and currencies, it seems there is no end of variables confronting every modern e-commerce professional.

One of them is touching the TRG. If I move it back towards the front of the bow then I think the back one will hit the TRG at full draw.
The way I see it if it touches in the back it isn't as big of deal. It can't be any worse than the old CCS. Move the TRG forward, even if it is temporary, to test my theory. When the cables come flying forward they slap that front part. To me that is something a animal would here and flinch or bolt.

^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^
I was checking around and was wondering what you guys think of using Bowjax on the STS and the TRG rods? I can get them fairly cheap from Sprtsman Guide.
It might help a little, but if you are only pulling the string back an inch or so, and getting that "thunk", I doubt it would do any good. One thing, is it as loud just drawing back an inch as it is on the shot?

Yeah, I know I'm grumpy and opinionated.
I messed with it the other night and have not gone out to shoot since. It has been like 95 in the shade down here in Bayou country.
Okay, so right now I am working on three computers to get them running and so while I am waiting for stuff to install I have been plucking the string on my Onza like a harpist and messing with the TRG,SOS and STS to track down the noise and eliminate it. So far it seems like it was coming from the SOS. So I took it off and the noise went down and traveled to the STS. I can't really do anything to the STS so I fiddled with the TRG bar and then put back the SOS. I had placed a piece of semi rigid foam behind the SOS to help absorb noise so I took it out from behind the SOS. I then adjusted the SOS so that it is barely off of the string and I plucked it again and the noise seems to have gone down. I am going to see if I can have the wife record me on the cell and try to see how loud is is about 10 yards away from the bow.

Fun Stuff
Eighty Is the New Forty
Another big barbecue weekend at our house—this time, five couples and most of their offspring, a staggering total of 20 hungry individuals. All afternoon, I cooked chicken and ribs on the grill, barely managing to shower off the smoke before the guests arrived. I used to be able to entertain "casually," cooking, chatting, and sipping wine, but these days, that's a recipe for casualties, both culinary and personal. Now, I schedule myself, on a legal pad, writing things like "4:15, preheat upper oven to 375, 5 p.m., insert cornbread to bake." It's not fun, but it's safer and I don't need to call the fire department.
My friend Myra had originally declined the invitation, explaining that her in-laws would be in town. "Oh, bring them," I said. "It'll be a madhouse, but a fun madhouse." I sensed her relief—one less night where she had to figure out how to entertain them. I looked at our extra-long picnic table, the one I'd had custom made eighteen years ago, and reminded myself to position the older folks at the ends of the bench, so that climbing in and out wouldn't be such a chore.
The crowd arrived on the dot of six—it's not in the least bit fashionable to be late in this little town—and I observed that Myra's in-laws seemed remarkably young and fit. They'd have less trouble climbing off those picnic table benches than I do. As he passed through the living room, her father-in-law admired our piano. Now close to eighty, he'd had taken up jazz piano at seventy-five, after a fifty-three-year sabbatical. He loved it passionately and spent hours every day practicing. To this pursuit, he attributed the maintenance of his obviously lively mind.
I wasn't very surprised. Everywhere I go these days, I meet people in their eighties and nineties who are sharp as tacks. They've kept their marbles intact and their productivity high. Some are still working—recently, I shared a New York cab with a dapper and charming ninety-year old attorney who at 8:15 on a steamy summer morning was on his way to his office with a copy of Albert Einstein's
The Special and the General Theory
tucked in his hand. I asked him if this was his light reading. He'd been studying relativity for the last three decades, he assured me. It was his avocation. Before I jumped out of the taxi to visit my publisher, he asked me if later, I'd like to join him for a cocktail.
The parade of intellectually and physically active older adults continued—there was a historian who, at an age when others were pushing the stacks of documents aside, accepted a post as a visiting professor at Oxford. I had a flurry of emails from a Massachusetts woman in her late seventies who taught tap-dancing to a flock of gals decidedly in their golden years. This was no novice class—they'd just embarked on their professional dancing careers, having been invited to perform before hundreds of hopefully inspired audience members at the
AARP Life@50
conference in Boston.
In Chapter 19 of Carved In Sand, called "Emerging Triumphant," I write about the concept of building—and maintaining—cognitive reserve. It's a sort of neuronal padding, accumulated over a lifetime. Studies suggest that individuals who are equipped with better-than-average levels of cognitive reserve maintain high levels of function despite the progressive neuronal degeneration that comes with normal aging. Individuals who are equipped with high levels of reserve appear to have more flexible brain software. They don't dead-end as easily when faced with a complex cognitive challenge because they're accustomed to considering multiple approaches. They are able to switch networks, to transfer operations rapidly from the temporal lobes to the frontal lobes, if the temporal lobes can no longer do the job efficiently.
How to best build and maintain cognitive reserve? Find yourself a mental challenge, and keep your brain in high gear. "If you were to ask me how you might assure that your intellectual functions continue unperturbed into your eighties or nineties," Eric Kandel, the Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist who has staring down eighty, told me, "I would say, you should continue to work…You should take on difficult tasks in areas that new to you. Learn another language, study an area of mathematics or engineering or art."
What about crossword puzzles? When I lecture, people ask me all the time if doing crosswords will keep them sharp. Maybe, I say, but only if you're not very good at them. If you're one of those people who whip through the little white boxes with barely a head-scratch, puzzles won't do it for you. You'll need to find something new, something that makes your brain sweat, if you want to keep building that cognitive reserve.

"Have you observed what is happening in your mind every moment? It vacillates between the past and the future. It is either in the past, occupied with what has happened, or in the future thinking about what you have to do.
Knowledge is being aware of this phenomenon of the mind -- of what is happening right now in your mind as you are reading this article. Information can be acquired by reading books or browsing the Internet. You can open a book on any subject such as how to lose weight, how to prepare for an interview, success 101 and so on. There are innumerable volumes available on a countless number of topics, but the awareness of your own mind cannot be learnt from a book.
There is another tendency of the mind -- it clings onto the negative. If 10 positive events are followed by one negative event, the mind will cling to the negative. It will simply forget the 10 positive events.
With meditation however, you can become aware of these two tendencies of the mind and bring it to the present. Happiness, joy, enthusiasm, efficiency and effectiveness are all in the present. The human mind is very complex. It has its delicate and tough aspects. If you have had a misunderstanding with a friend or colleague at work, you can become stiff inside and this can distort your emotions, leading to negativity -- and you carry this negativity wherever you go.
However, when you culture your mind with meditation, its tendency of holding on to negative emotions simply disappears. You gain the ability to start living in the present moment and are able to let go of the past.
In your day-to-day life, you come across all kinds of situations that can be challenging and demanding a degree of alertness to be able to make good choices. These situations give rise to different states of mind, and neither life nor the states of mind occur with our permission. In fact, they often occur in direct defiance to our wishes.
Meditation can bring about a balance between the different states of the mind. You can learn to switch from the tough aspect to the delicate aspect within you. You can stand up when needed and let go when needed. This ability is present within everyone, and meditation enables you to switch between these states effortlessly. The whole exercise is to develop an ability -- to switch back and forth between the tough and delicate aspects of the mind.
One of the biggest deterrents for people not being able to meditate is that they don't have enough time. Yet when they start to meditate, they find they have more time, because they are able to focus and get more done. Not only that, the regular practice of meditation also leads to greater intuitiveness. It sharpens the mind through focus and expands it through relaxation.
With the integration of meditation into one's daily life, a fifth state of consciousness, called cosmic consciousness, dawns. Cosmic consciousness means perceiving the whole cosmos as part of oneself. When we perceive the world as a part of us, love flows strongly between the world and us. This love empowers us to bear the opposing forces and the disturbances in our lives. Anger and disappointments become fleeting emotions that occur momentarily and then vanish.
Rest and activity are opposite values, but they complement each other. The deeper you are able to rest, the more dynamic you will be in activity. Planning can hold you back from diving deep into yourself. Meditation is accepting this moment and living every moment totally with depth.
Restlessness, agitation, desire and ambition stir up the mind and keep it engaged in planning for the future or being regretful about the past. Real freedom is freedom from the past and future. The confluence of knowledge, understanding and practice makes life complete. When you grow into higher states of consciousness, you find that you are no longer thrown off balance by different situations and disturbances. Regular practice of meditation can transform the quality of your life by culturing the nervous system to maintain peace, energy and expanded awareness throughout the day. You become beautiful yet strong, capable of accommodating different challenges in life without any conditions." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Taylor Gang's leader (Wiz Khalifa) is dropping his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C. on September 18. The Atlantic Records rapper is on a promo run to promote the album. He recently appeared on Chelsea Handler. During his interview, Khalifa talked to Chelsea Handler about Snoop Dogg changing his name to Snoop Lion, the meaning behind O.N.I.F.C., his inspirations and personal relationship with his father.
Posts Tagged '"O.N.I.F.C."'
Wiz Khalifa fans are going to have to wait a few weeks longer! His sophomore album, entitled O.N.I.F.C. (Only N***as In First Class) was scheduled to hit shelves August 28 but Wiz recently confirmed with FUSE that the disc has been pushed back until September 18. O.N.I.F.C. will feature production from Pharrell, Jim Jonsin, Sledgren and more. Watch the interview below:
Taylor Gang's leader Wiz Khalifa will be dropping his sophomore album, entitled O.N.I.F.C. (Only N***a In First Class) on August 28. As we're just six weeks away from boarding the flight, Khalifa's tracklist and album cover hits the Internet. Pharrell, 50 Cent, 2 Chainz, Prodigy, and his Taylor Gang crew are all on board for Wiz's flight. Peep the tracklist below:
Last year, rapper Wiz Khalifa announced that his sophomore album is entitled, O.N.I.F.C., leaving us to wonder what's the meaning behind the title. Khalifa revealed that the acronym stands for Only N***a In First Class, during an interview on Shade 45's Sway in the Morning radio show (via MTV News). The title was inspired by Prodigy of Mobb Deep 2000 debut solo album Head N***a in Charge. "It's inspired by Prodigy's H.N.I.C.," said Khalifa. "When he dropped that, I felt like that sounded so strong," added Khalifa.

Enbridge oil spill sickened hundreds, according to a new report
A new report finds last July's massive oil spill in mid-Michigan sickened many people, but the long-term effects of exposure to the spill is unclear.
The Michigan Department of Community Health worked with local health departments in Calhoun and Kalamazoo Counties to compile data on people who were affected by the Enbridge Energy oil spill.
More than 800 thousand gallons of crude oil leaked from a pipeline near Marshall, eventually flowing downstream through Battle Creek. The clean-up continues, though much of the oil has been recovered.
Martha Stanbury is with the state department of Community Health. She says hundreds of people, mainly from four Calhoun County communities, reported becoming ill after inhaling fumes from the spill, though the health complaints eased as the oil was cleaned-up.
"In general, this is what we expected that they would be transient. And hopefully people are able to go about their lives."
Stanbury says health officials' main concern is about possible benzene exposure in the spill zone.
Well testing and other clean-up activities are expected to continue for years to come.

About Our Work
San Francisco Bicycle Coalition members are the lifeblood of our organization. Our active members represent a diverse group of San Franciscans who are working towards more safe, efficient, and sustainable ways to move around our city. With 12,000 members, the SF Bicycle Coalition is one of the largest and most effective bicycle advocacy groups in the country. Our MissionThe San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is transforming San Francisco's streets and neighborhoods into more livable and safe places by promoting the bicycle for everyday transportation. Recent San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Successes:
Our HistoryThe San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is one of the oldest bicycle advocacy organizations in the country. Founded in 1971 by a group of activists representing a coalition of environmental and neighborhood groups, the SF Bicycle Coalition started the convention of calling an advocacy group a "coalition" while riding groups were known as clubs. It quickly evolved into a powerful alliance of individuals working for a more bicycle-friendly city, winning bike lanes on upper Market Street, removing the ban on bicycling through the Broadway Tunnel, and gaining access to the Golden Gate Bridge and, along with the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, gaining access to BART. Mostly defunct throughout the 1980s, it was rejuvenated in October 1990 with the first issue of the newsletter, then known as "the tubular times." Operated entirely by volunteers for the first several years, it has been dominated by a grassroots volunteer ethic ever since, growing into one of the strongest bicycle advocacy organizations in the country. Its biggest victory in the 1990s were the bicycle lanes on Valencia Street, supported by the Board of Supervisors despite a Department of Parking & Traffic Director who declared "they'll be bike lanes on Valencia Street over my dead body." The SF Bicycle Coalition, in conjunction with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, was also responsible for some of the strongest requirements for indoor bicycle parking and public event attended bicycle parking in the country. | ||||
