Death at a Funeral dir. by Frank Oz
You never quite know what to hope for when you go to see a so-called black comedy/farce. I mean, the trailers might give you an idea of some of better moments, but you just don't know whether the whole thing will work. Especially when the setting for the "hilarious hijinks" is a funeral. Happily, Death at a Funeral does indeedRead more

Maximum Ride #2: School's Out - Foreverby James Patterson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Adventure, fighting, backstabbing and love abound" (VOYA) in this action-packed follow-up to the #1 New York Times blockbuster MAXIMUM RIDE: THE ANGEL EXPERIMENT, now available in paperback. The heart-stopping quest of six winged kids--led by fourteen-year-old Max--to find their parents and investigate the mind-blowing mystery of their ultimate destiny continues when they're taken under the wing of an FBI agent and attempt, for the first time, to live "normal" lives. But going to school and making friends doesn't stop them from being relentlessly hunted by sinister spies, who lead Max to face her most frightening match yet: a new and better version of herself.
In this sequel to the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "The Angel Experiment," brave bird-kid Max and her flock are discovered by an FBI agent and forced to go to "school." Max soon faces her greatest enemy--a clone of herself.
This action-packed sequel in the "New York Times" bestselling Maximum Ride series features adventure, fighting, backstabbing--and love.
The second exhilarating novel in James Patterson's first teen series. It's 24 hours since Max Ride and her fellow Bird-kids escaped the New York Institute, and they're still on the run. But the six companions - 98% human, 2% bird - came away with some vital information. If they can decode the garbled words and numbers, perhaps they'll find out where their parents are. There's a lot of trouble ahead for Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel - not to mention Total, the talking dog. Their enemies, the fearsome Erasers, have acquired a new skill - they too can now fly!

Acting Alone: A Scientific Study of American Hegemony and Unilateral Use-of-Force Decision Making is a straight-forward analysis of unilateral U.S. military actions, which are dependent upon the power disparity between the U.S. and the rest of the world. In solving the puzzle as to why individual presidents have made the "wrong" decision to act alone, the author lays out a president's behavior, during a crisis, as a two-step decision process. Acting Alone reviews the well-studied first decision, deciding to use force, based on international conflict literature and organized along traditional lines. The author then details the second decision, deciding to use unilateral force, with an explanation of the criticisms of multilateralism and the reasons for unilateralism. To test a new theory of unilateral use of force decision making, Acting Alone devises a definition and coding rules for unilateral use of force, develops a sequential model of presidential use of force decision making, and constructs a new, alternative measure of military power, a Composite Indicator of Military Revolutions (CIMR). It then uses three methods - a statistical test with a heckman probit model, an experiment, and case studies - to test U.S. crisis behavior since 1937.
By applying these three methods, the author finds that presidents are realists and make expected utility calculations to act unilaterally or multilaterally after their decision to use force. The unilateral decision, in particular, positively correlates with a wide military gap with an opponent, an opponent located in the Western hemisphere, and a national security threat.

Delhi's power supply firms move court over dues' notice
The Supreme Court will hear Friday a plea by Reliance Group-led power distribution firms in the national capital - BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna - challenging the notice served by the state-run NTPC asking them to deposit their dues by Feb 11 or face a cut in electricity supply.
An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice P. Sathasivam directed the listing of the matter Friday after the counsel for BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna raised it before the court.
The counsel said a similar case was pending in another court in Supreme Court in which the company is seeking the recovery of around Rs.15,000 crore from the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC), and hence the petition should be listed alongside.
The petition has roped in the central and state governments as also NTPC and the DERC as respondents.
The two firms supply electricity to nearly 70 percent of the city.
The move comes against the backdrop of the Delhi government's recommendation to the regulator, calling for the revocation of the licenses issued to the two firms if they they failed to pay their dues to NTPC and/or resort to long power outages in city.
Reacting to it, the two firms had said the recommendation was illegal and arbitrary, and that they expected an independent decision by the regulator while dealing with the subject.
"As legally advised, the proposed cancellation of licenses in this situation is arbitrary and illegal, and will only serve to de-motivate thousands of our employees who have timelessly worked to transform the power supply situation in Delhi," they said.

Our patent system is rotting from the inside out. When you can patent something like "providing a user interface," or "pop-up windows on the web," years after it was first put to use, simply through money and sheer force of will, there's a problem. A big problem. A problem so big it's in need of an equally big infographic.
The infographic below offers a glimpse at the vastness of this patent madness. It's quite beautifully done, despite it's ugly subject matter. The graphic is based on an episode of This American Life called "When Patents Attack," and it explores the most important aspects you need to know about the patent industry. Here are some of the numbers I found most interesting (and disturbing):

And even more of me cheating on Lego. Hasbro sent me the Kre-o Mirage kit as an apology (long story) and I was initially disappointed with the robot mode. After rebuilding him in vehicle mode I realized the awesomeness of this line.
… they even have this neat gerhead mode that I'm sure others have done as well. But if you're on the fence about picking up a Kre-o? Do it! Just don't bother with the robot mode.

Netherlands: Amsterdam
There are three sections available:
SASS 325/575 Social Justice: Health and Violence Prevention
SASS 375B/575 Mental Health: Issues and Practice
SASS 375F/575 Gender and Sexuality Justice: LGBT Life in Contemporary Dutch Culture
These courses satisfy the Global and Cultural Diversity requirement for B.A. students, counts toward Social Work minor and satisfy social science requirement for students in school of Engineering.
This experiential and hands-on course for undergraduate, graduates students as well as alumni and professionals is designed to familiarize them with Dutch culture, social policies and practices for prostitution, drug use, substance abuse, mental health, neighborhood social control, violence prevention, homelessness; multicultural aspects of health care, euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The trip includes guided tours of neighborhoods and social institutions such as hospitals, clinics, user rooms and prisons. Presentations are given by government officials, practicing social workers, health care providers and many of Holland's most prominent scholars. The experience will challenge students to compare Holland with the United States and help students understand the strengths and weaknesses of social policies and human services in both countries.
Sample Itinerary: On Monday four lectures from Dutch experts at Vrije Universiteit (Free University) in Amsterdam will focus on Dutch tolerance, euthanasia, substance use and abuse, and sex work (prostitution).
Tuesday has often been the day for a visit to a famous coffee shop, Dampkring, where the manager of the shop will talk about how the Dutch have created laws to allow the use of soft drugs in coffee shops consistent with their philosophy of "harm reduction." Although the coffee shop will not be open for business while we are there, you will learn about the history of the harm reduction approach to soft drugs, see the drugs they have for sale and hear about how some of their attitudes are now moving away from such tolerance.
On Tuesday afternoon, we usually travel to the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, the largest tertiary care hospital in the country. We will meet with the medical director of the hospital for an interesting discussion about how differently they manage their health care system than we do in the U.S. He will talk about ethical dilemmas that arise when certain patient groups come for treatment, such as illegal immigrants and criminals, and how the Dutch clinicians resolve those dilemmas. Our conversation with him is always fascinating and many students have commented about how much they learned from him during our afternoon at this 2000-bed hospital and medical school.
On Wednesday, we typically have traveled to Rotterdam and spent our morning meeting with staff members and clients at S Gravenhof, a halfway house for hard drug users. We will learn about the Dutch housing system and how they allow drug addicts to live in a halfway house while they try to give them the skills to work and live more independently. Clients will share their stories of life on the streets and their drug use histories, while describing how this unique housing option has helped them.
On Wednesday afternoon, we will visit Horizon, a residential treatment center for severely physically and emotionally abused children, ages 8-12. Several staff members present information about their program for treating these young children and then we have an opportunity to meet with several of the children in one of their residential cottages with staff who describe their day-to-day treatment regimens. Many of the students who come to the Netherlands describe this agency as the most fascinating visit of the trip.
Thursday often takes us to Blacka Watra, a drop-in center where people can find access to a number of services including showers, employment, social services, food, laundry and a User Room, i.e., a safe place to use drugs. Though the schedule is still in the planning stage, there may be an afternoon visit to Altrecht, an inpatient psychiatric hospital for forensic patients. This experience will expose students to how the Dutch treat people convicted of crimes, or treat those who also have mental health disorders. There is often an alternative option to take the afternoon time to visit the main courthouse in Amsterdam and meet with Dutch prosecutors, who detail the structure of the Dutch criminal justice system. We also have attended a trial to see how Dutch prosecutors and judges work. The system does not use juries; rather, one judge (or three judges for more serious offenses) decides the fate of their defendants.
Friday morning takes us to a lecture by COSA Netherlands, a community reintegration program for sexual offenders. Their network of volunteers befriend the client and help him to feel more socially connected to his community while also being on alert for signs of potential problems to decrease the incidence of re-offending. The afternoon is usually reserved for the "Great Debate" where you have an opportunity to make persuasive arguments for or against various Dutch practices or social policies as they apply or do not apply here at home.

Mi familia: a year later. 2011. Ceramic Phoenix Stoneware
So, a year later after building and presenting this project i left one structure outside. its lasted through the snow, the heat, the rain and winds. And it's done beautifully.
"Anxiety only kills us both" Stone Lithograph. 2011
its a working edition, i'm doing a reduction and hopefully by the end i'll have a great reduced print. I dont think i've been THIS excited about a print ever. i'm in love with my print.
DECALS. Ceramic Screenprinted decals. i've so far taught my self how to do these, with very little instruction. They're not that hard, but apparently they're not reliable. I dont know. i'm crossing my fingers. /heres hoping/
Today, i'm unloading 3 kilns. Two bisque and one Test glaze. I AM REALLY hoping this turns out OK. /supernervous/ Also inaddition, its occured to me i may NOT have enough glaze for my objects. I need to go buy another jar of glaze…
So I'm now Two weeks and Two days out from thesis being turned in… and well i'm about 1/2 way done. Best part i'm going to Southern Graphics Next tuesday for my first road trip. I'm crazy nervous. one for will i get a lot out of it? and two: Will i get thesis done on time.
So, soon keep check on me pictures of Thesis and process screenprinting will be up. Oh and Check the Corcoran Printmaking Blog too- Hopefully more print making things will be up!
Check it out.
Last month of working. I CAN DO THIS. I see the light!
Anyways what this is:
Wall Panels of repeating portrait panels and ceramic objects that are about 1ft diameter and about 2 1/2 feet tall. (these are big mothers. HEAVY MOTHERS) They will eventually be glazed in a majoilica and be decaled with the same image that it will sit in front of.
yes. that is lady gaga.
I swear you're wrong. 2011. Colored pencil on wood panel.
I feel like this may work as a series. I'm not sure how I feel about the way it looks. More so the light in my room is bad. It's a starting point for the most part. I've never drawn on wood panel before. Any ideas?
EDIT: its a laminate over particle board. so its flat and smooth like woah. So sanding no need. i'm just having trouble with the colors and such.
Koifish. 2009. Etching
Early Etching. this was the second one. I was never too happy with it. I'm thinking after all of this thesis business is done i'm going to fix and make this plate awesome.
Opulence. 2010. Ceramic with majolica stain - wall paper digital print.
Last work of the 1st semester of FINE ART CORE IV.

Jake and Chelsea sat in lawn chairs in the driveway of his Ludwig Road home. They sipped lemonade.
Yellow crime-scene tape stretched along the fences at Smith Field. National Guard soldiers stood watch at the airport entrance, keeping newspaper reporters and TV news crews at bay. Nothing had been in the sky all day except military helicopters that arrived or departed now and then.
The grounds were crawling with people wearing white hazmat suits. Cindy was somewhere among them; Jake and Chelsea argued over which suit was hiding Cindy until they saw a brief wave in their direction – Jake had been correct, to his daughter's delight.
Chelsea thought it was an awfully big fuss over an elaborate hoax. The neighborhood had been evacuated last night and most of today for a college student's prank. Now he was being treated as a homegrown terrorist. And her father kept going on about how he had helped save Smith Field only to have a front-row seat for its certain demise as an airport.
But Chelsea was puzzled; with all the panic, with Homeland Security and the National Guard involved, with criminal and scientific investigations unfolding, how had her father gained access to the fake flying saucer the previous night?
"They invited me," Jake told Chelsea. "I had been an eyewitness to an earlier flight, and officials wanted any verification I could offer.
"Besides," he said, "your mother put in a good word for me."
Chelsea was miffed that she hadn't been asked. She'd seen the lights, too.
"Too risky," Jake said. "These soldiers use real bullets. Your mom was right to have you stay at a friend's house."
"So were you able to identify the flying saucer that crashed as the one we both saw earlier?" Chelsea asked.
"No, I wasn't," her father said.
"Yeah, we were too far away to see it very well," she said.
"It wasn't the same one," Jake said. "This one didn't have any lights."
"Mom said today that the guy who made these things had different designs," Chelsea said.
"This one was a lot bigger than his saucers," Jake said. "Perhaps 15 feet long. And it was silver, not black. Not shaped like a clamshell, either; it was triangular, like a stealth bomber."
Again, Chelsea said, the IPFW student just made a different model.
"He supposedly flew two at once at Fox Island, so he must have been good," she said. "They found his remote control at Smith Field, didn't they?"
"Yes," Jake said, "and they found his saucer, too, near where they caught him over by Cook Road. It never got in the air."
Jake then told his daughter the story he'd sworn to keep secret, recounting events and sights at the risk of arrest and who knows what else.
He told his daughter about the other flying saucer that crashed last night, after a 122nd Fighter Wing pilot in an A-10 saw an object zigzagging north of town. The Warthog pilot chased it; then the craft chased the pilot. The pilot slowed up and fired his seven-barrel machine-gun cannon at the passing object – those lights over Smith Field were armor-piercing tracer bullets. The object fell out of the sky, crashing on the ground next to an airport runway, the same runway that someone at the mayor's town-hall meeting claimed had been turned into a government welcome center for aliens.
The crowd, including Jake, cautiously circled the silver triangle. A section of it had broken away, almost like a hatch popping open, and inside – was it a machine or a creature? Or both? Jake couldn't tell.
Wires, tubes and hoses spilled out of the cavity and onto the ground. Milky fluid seeped from some of the broken strands. Sparks leaped from others.
The thing inside the craft was almost 3 feet long, but it didn't have a defined head or torso or arms or legs – it was just a mass of plugged-in slime, a robotic gray worm in an electronic cocoon. Jake was certain he had seen it squirming in the short time he watched it – "Marian's dream!" he had gasped – before Homeland Security officials and National Guard troops whisked him away for debriefing and a vow of silence.
Jake took a sip of lemonade. Chelsea didn't know what to say, so she said nothing. She and her father sat silently in their lawn chairs in the driveway of his front yard, watching the sky grow dark over Smith Field.

Retired NFL star Eddie George was sitting in the passenger seat ... when pro golfer Rachel Connor was busted for drunk driving in Florida early this morning ... TMZ has learned.
Connor -- a 21-year-old British golf pro -- was pulled over at 2:21 AM in Sarasota, Florida ... after cops say they noticed her speeding and weaving in her lane.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ ... cops smelled booze when they approached the vehicle ... and Connor admitted to drinking 2 vodka cranberries earlier in the evening.
Cops noticed a man in the passenger seat ... who was identified as 38-year-old Eddie George ... former NFL star and Heisman Trophy winner.
According to the report, Connor was given a breathalyzer test and blew a .133 and a .137 ... way over the legal limit, .08. Cops say she had trouble walking straight and couldn't count in numerical order.
According to the report, Cops asked Rachel if she could turn back the clock and change any of her decisions what would it be? ... And Rachel responded, she would have decided "not to drive."
Hours before the arrest, Connor tweeted a photo of Eddie on the golf course ... and another photo of herself and Eddie posing together at an event.
For the record -- Eddie was NOT arrested. We're told he took a cab home after the incident.
We called reps for both Eddie and Rachel -- so far, no response.
She got pulled over for being a young white blond with a black man.
She looks like a chipmunk. Is she storing his nuts in her cheeks?
Disgusting behavior for a professional golfer. She ought to be ashamed of herself. But I guess that's what you can expect from a 21 one year old. And who had no business hanging out getting intoxicated with a married man. I'm sure George is going to feel the heat too. How humiliating. What an embarrassment to his family. If you're going to being cheating and I'm assuming he was. Next time pick on someone your own age and hire a driver. Don't let the stupid Ho(who in my opinion that's what she is now going out with a married man)you're about to go to bed with do the driving.
Good luck with that. I live in Bradenton, FL, just a few miles north of Sarasota and the 12th Judicial Circuit court is the TOUGHEST court to fight a DUI in, the State's attorney has made it his life to not let anyone get away with DUIs like they do in California or Nevada. They cross their Ts and dot their I's to make sure the paperwork is in order and not lost.

This no class blond bimbo is not long for the LPGA
This girl has the biggest horses ass you'll ever see.
Looks like a interesting night.. Eddie going for young girl or was she looking for sugar daddy...
it's black turtle seacrest
Dang.....She's cute! Hey Eddie....cut me off a slice of some of that!
Black men need to stay with black women. I dotn care about the DUI. Im more sick to see this black with a white chick. Sickening.
Screw you, cops. Stupid **** blockers. That chick was fine. Y'all are haters.
black man's kryptonite? dumb little white girls. I'm sure his wife doesn't mind him partying it up with a girl half his age.
Look at all the NFL players with multiple kids from multiple women.
Who was george's best friend? Steve McNair who was murdered by his 21 year old little mistress on the side.
This is very interesting especially since one he is married to Taj from SWV and two him and his wife just put out a marriage book last month smh.
Really bad news for Rachel Connor. We feel grief for that...

LAKEWOOD, NY (WKBW) - Residents in the Village of Lakewood voted by a 3-1 margin Wednesday not to dissolve their village in to the Town of Busti.
With about 55 percent of the registered voters turning out, residents voted 848 'no' to 353 'yes' in the resolution to dissolve the village. The measure was put forward by a local Lakewood resident, and was not headed-up by downsizing advocate Kevin Gaughan.
Had the measure succeeded, the office of the mayor and the village board would have been eliminated.
Lakewood Mayor Anthony Caprino said he was "extremely pleased," with outcome, which he said was anticipated, and added that downsizing has a place in some communities, but in the case of Lakewood, they, "picked on the wrong town."

It is not hard to understand why people who spend the majority of their day either in a wheelchair or in bed end up with bed sores. With the inability to move around and give the body a little breathing room, no wonder disabled individuals can develop such painful problems with their skin. But, most people do not understand why bed sores are so dangerous.
To illustrate a point, pretend you recently burned your finger while cooking. Are you going to keep touching that area and putting pressure on it? Of course not! Instead, you will guard that finger, medicate it, keep it clean, and do whatever is necessary to facilitate healing as soon as possible.
The Unknown
However, unlike a burned finger, it is not so easy to take care of pressure sores. After all, how can you prevent putting pressure on the wound if you are confined to a wheelchair or a bed? In addition, a lot of people with major disabilities may not feel the pain of a bed sore, no matter how bad it gets, so the skin can die away and the wound can go clear to the bone, without the sufferer knowing a serious health concern is present.
The Danger
Therein lays the danger of pressure sores. Before a sore is detected, it may already be infected and festering. With many sedentary people already suffering from compromised immune systems, an infection can quickly become a life-threatening health concern.
For example, quadriplegic Christopher Reeves did not die from a broken neck, when he was flung from a horse; he did not die from subsequent difficulties with breathing due to his injuries; he died from a rampant infection because of bed sores.
Reducing the Danger
The best method of reducing the danger of pressure sores is to prevent them in the first place. Frequent repositioning of the body is very important. In addition, the proper wheelchair cushions and special mattresses to relieve pressure on the body will provide help in preventing bed sores.
Also, it is necessary to keep the body clean. Also, turning over to change the pressure points is helpful. Massages seem like a good way to improve circulation. After all, skin is the largest organ in the body. It needs care to ensure it can protect the internal organs. But, the biggest defense against the battle with sores has to be vigilance. Whether it is a personal inspection or left to the caregiver, checking the body every day for pressure sores is vital.
After the Fact
If you or a loved one already has a pressure sore, seek medical attention immediately. Do not wait until it becomes a gaping wound. Should the sore already be that serious, it will probably take surgery to clean out the infection and a bucket full of antibiotics to assist the skin in healing. Do not assume a bandage and prevention measures will take care of the problem.
In short, bed sores or like a paper cut. A Band-Aid will not do the trick. If you or someone you love has the potential to get a pressure sore, you need to understand why bed sores are so dangerous and what you should do about them.
With his partner Hulet, Mike started Rehabmart in 1998 while practicing as Occupational Therapists. As therapists, we discovered that our patients did not always have access to high quality medical products and equipment. We decided to do something about this and began to make products and valuable information available online. We offered products that promoted independence, had functional uses, and made an innovative impact on the lives of those persons needing the products.
For more information regarding equipment and devices to make disability a little easier, please visit Rehabmart.com's Pressure Relief Cushions and Pressure Relief Mattresses for necessary products related to prevention and care of bed sores.

Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault Akat – Brown + Bitter Chocolate
July 25th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
Taka Hayashi's Native American-inspired Vans pack rolls on. The Vans Vault Akat LX comes to us in two brown designs. The first is a lighter shade with white stiching that we fully expected. Another offers a slightly darker chocolate brown leather and is held together with tonal stitches. Both have a strip of triangular perforations that grow as they reach toward the heel, a unique look that's like nothing we've seen. Set yourself apart by grabbing these from Bows and Arrows.

Green Bed
Original Post Date:FEBRUARY 25, 2012
One of mine. I just got a Micron pen and it has changed the way I look at what I'm capable of. It sounds silly, but suddenly, I feel like I can make my watercolors look pretty.
My inspirations are firstly, eklektick and jek in the box on Flickr; for a few years now, they have inspired my ideas about what a bedroom should look like, and my idea of domestic photography. Now they also inspire my watercolors, because I draw and paint cozy wooden beds with colorful bedding and bunting above about once every couple of weeks. It's my favorite subject.
My other inspiration these days (and the catalyst for the pen usage) is Lori Vliegen, of Elvie Studio. I want to be her when I grow up, art-wise.

Mental Illness in film (1/?)
π (dir. Darren Aronofsky)
Temporal lobe epilepsy (noun)
Some symptoms of a temporal lobe seizure may be related to these functions, including having odd feelings — such as euphoria, fear, panic and deja vu. During a temporal lobe seizure, you may remain partially conscious. Or, if the temporal lobe seizure is more intense, you may be unresponsive, even though you look awake. Temporal lobe seizures may be resistant to anti-seizure medications. Surgery may be an option for some people who don't respond to medication. (x)
"Pi greco il teorema del delirio"
And someone still says that Aronofsky's shit. Mad world!

1. Re: plan service questionsmplyunprdctble Jan 2, 2014 10:06 AM (in response to jypond)
If you don't know if your phone is unlocked or not, it's probably locked (especially if you bought it directly from Verizon). T-Mobile cannot magically look up to see if a device has been unlocked. If it's locked, you'll have to get an unlock code from Verizon.
The process to unlock your phone, requires use of a non-Verizon SIM - which means borrowing a friend's SIM. If you know someone with T-Mobile, borrow their SIM for the five minutes it takes to unlock and you'll be able to determine if the phone works with T-Mobile by testing the features.
2. Re: plan service questiontmo_jennifer Jan 6, 2014 11:11 AM (in response to jypond)

Yes, the real underlying point is that "the rich" are not necessarily doing anything illegal with their money when they avoid taxes; they are merely doing what anyone would do in the same situation. The problem with liberals and their orthodoxy is that they think it works in a vacume, as if their decisions have no bearing on behavior. I remember when they slapped a "luxury tax" of 10% on all "luxury" goods back in the early 90s, so "the rich" had to pay a premium on jewelry, furs, high end cars, etc. Well, all of those markets went into the toilet and people lost jobs and the government actually lost tax revenue from it. The fools who came up with the idea were shocked. They still haven't learned a thing.

Windows XP to Windows 7
What's the best way to do this?
We are a small office with network places set up to be able to access databases for MS Access, Quickbooks & an estimating program. We are not on a server however. We recently upgraded to Windows 7.
With all of the new features in Windows 7, what is the most efficient way for us to network our computers or map them together so that we can access those databases at the same time & have them remain current on all workstations? Is Groove the best way or would a home/workgroup be better? etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Love is a relationship between you and somebody else. Meditation is a relationship between YOU and you. Love is outgoing, meditation is in going. Love is a sharing. But how can you share love if you don't have it in the first place? What will you share?People have anger, people have jealousies, people have hatred, so in the name of love they start sharing these things, because that's what they have. Once the honeymoon is over and you put down your masks, and the reality is revealed, then what will you share? You will share that which you have. If anger, then anger, if possessiveness, then possessiveness. Then there is fighting and conflict and struggle, and each tries to dominate the other.Meditation will give you something you can share. Meditation will give you the quality, the energy that can become love when you are related to somebody. Ordinarily you don't have that quality. Nobody has it. You have to create it. Love is not something you are born with. It is something that you have to create; it is something that you have to become. It is a struggle, an effort, and a great art.When you have overflowing love within you, then you can share.But that can happen only when you can relate to yourself. And meditation is nothing but learning to relate to yourself.Osho

…many things that can be so valuable about cultivating relationships with people from all walks of life. As we get to know those who seem so different from us, we get to really see how much of life's challenges and joys are universal. We begin to look beyond the packaging of skin color, clothing preferences, and socioeconomic differences, hairstyles, and the cars we drive to the heart of the human experience. It is important to honor and value the differences in our packaging, but it is just as important to honor the gift of life inside each one of us, and the fact that, no matter how different the packaging, the gift inside is the same.

What's going to be your excuse today for not exercising????
Get it in!!
I know that i've been playing lately. I went to the storage about 3 days ago and got reunited with my training gloves. And I've been getting it in since. I sweat until my whole body is WET. And if i'm going and it isn't wet, then I go harder!! I took out my brand new pair of Nike Air Max 95's laced them up and went out the door….
I just got back from my 3 mile run. This guy stopped me. He said, "Are you in training?". I was flattered. Like super for real….. I shook my head, smiled and said, "No, why?" He said, "You look like you can be a professional boxer." (Jokes, yeah I know.) I laughed again, and said, "No sir, just exercising." Put my headphones back over my ears and kept it moving.
Now i'm hear on the comp and eating carbs. The body is still working and burning so this is the best time to eat it. ;-) It felt real good to hear though. Random….Motivation! Inspiration! That was LOVE <3
I'm going to try to give it another try at 5pm. Feeling amazing.

Human Traffickers Prey on Tsunami's Most Vulnerable Victims
- Friday, January 21, 2005
Although many in the United States have made inquiries about adopting these children, international adoption agencies say it could take months or longer to determine whether a child is truly an orphan.
"It's best for these kids to be with their extended families in their own communities," says Mettimano. "The adoption process should not start for two years because it can take that long to get children back to their families. We want to see that process exhausted first."
Vigilance will be required among aid groups and government officials, says IJM's Haugen. Not merely in seeking the families of these children but in paying attention to the problem and protecting them traffickers. "It's a positive thing that there has been so much attention on this issue," Haugen told Crosswalk.com. "But the traffickers will be patient. They have time on their side. They often obtain children but don't sell them for months or years."
Haugen's new book Terrify No More tells the stories of children that International Justice Mission has rescued from sexual slavery. The book follows the IJM covert missions to infiltrate brothels that traffic children, rescue victims and prosecute perpetrators.
Although the issue of child sex trafficking is grievous and painful to think about, it is the duty of Christians to address this evil head-on and display God's love for the oppressed. In the introduction of his new book Haugen writes:
I am convinced that any serious contest with evil requires a painful confrontation with the truth. The greatest and most shameful regrets of history are always about the truth we failed to tell, the evil we failed to name. The greatest enemy in our struggle to stop oppression and injustice is always the insidious etiquette of silence.
Haugen hopes the new publicity from the tsunami will alert more people to the problem of sex trafficking worldwide. "This region of the world already had a big problem with sex trafficking before the tsunami arrived," he says. "This will help Christians have open eyes to what is going on in the world."

The last few mornings I've gotten horrible calf cramps while lying in bed and stretching upon waking up. They're so bad that I walk around the rest of the day with a strained calf muscle.
I haven't experienced these kinds of cramps in years, but I recently started watching what I eat (basically just cut out the crap food and now eating healthy-whole grains, lean protein, fruits/veg- attempting to lean out a bit for fall racing) and I suspect that has something to do with it. However, I don't see that I could be deficient in any mineral because I've been eating a very, very healthy, nutritious diet. I'm taking calcium supplements and a multivitamin, and eating 5-9 fruits/veggies a day.
Any experience/advice with this?
I'm afraid I'll get a cramp so bad that it does some serious damage. Also afraid that its a mineral deficiency that may have other consequences besides calf cramps. It would be a really stupid way to get injured and don't want to get sick in some other way.
Isn't it postassium shortage? I know when I have this problem I just add a banana to my diet each day and it goes away.
Calf problems like that are very typical for men as we get older. I was awakened by just such a calf spasm for the first time about a month ago. I've had ongoing calf problems that have affected my running for about 10-12 years now. I find that the best stretches of time I have without pain is when I do the following...
Make sure to keep potassium levels up
Make sure to stay properly hydrated
Daily stretching of calves, mostly being concerned with toes pointed UP instead of down (so, stand on a step and drop the heel DOWN...don't raise up on your toes)
Proper sleep (7+ hours at least every night
For people who have never had a cramp such as these, they are no joke, and can sideline you for a week or more. The first time I got one I was in the midst of a short run, and it hit within a mile of the finish. I foolishly limped (continued to try to run) home instead of walking. I then had a limp for several days and could not run for almost two weeks. I've since had a cramp come up and bit me a few times while running and now I stop and walk the rest of the way immediately.
|Mr. Obvious
I've had these periodically. First time was on a cool-down run and I dropped like I had been shot. The middle of the night or early morning ones are bad. Sometimes it takes several days to loosen up, too.
My tips:
Stay hydrated
Eat Bananas
I use the foam roller on mine.
|riley stops
Whenever I cramp in my legs at night I know I am dehydrated.
|Brown Shoes
You are going to think I am crazy, but try this...
Put a bar of soap under the mattress cover in your bed, around the area where your legs rest at night. Just something normal, like Lever 2000 or Irish spring. This will stop all of your cramps, at least while in bed.
Report back.
I am not kidding.
Of course this is not a cure for the actual cause, but while you try to find the cause, do this.
|Captain Spalding
If stretching right after you wake up makes your calves cramp, don't stretch them then. Give you muscles time to move around and relax before stretching them.
|Coach D
Cramps of various kinds are often caused by dehydration. Look into your hydration.
Have your boyfriend massage your legs while you sleep.
Thanks for all the good advice, guys. I do eat 2-3 bananas a day so I thought I had potassium covered.. its entirely possible my hydration sucks though because I hardly ever pee throughout the day. I'll definitely work on that.
thanks again
I'm bumping a thread that's been buried for a while, but I think it's a common problem. All of the ideas above are great, but I just learned a new one from a massage therapist and it makes a lot of sense.
Typically, the calf cramp is a result of constant plantarflexion when running (pointing toes down at push off) and not enough dorsiflexion. The muscles get so over-worked doing that motion and never really stretch the other way. I found I used to get them in the morning and, shockingly, they were most directly related to when I thought I was actually stretching to help it. Stretching by plantarflexing your feet in the morning just constricts your calf muscles. What you actually want to do is dorsiflex at your ankles. Stretches where you raise your toes instead of lowering them will be best for avoiding calf cramps.
Nighttime calf cramps is a symptom of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Be sure to research other symptoms if you have relatives with autoimmune disorders. Let me know if you need more insight.
|i feel your pain
What has worked for me:
- Daily banana. Must have my daily banana.
- Warm water epsom salt foot soaks. A massage therapist recommended this when even the bananas were failing, and it seems to work. Magnesium, or so he said.
- Don't go to sleep dehydrated.
For a quick fix, ask your pharmacist for oral rehydration salts. If those help, you know the problem is a lack of some salts.
Good luck. Cramps suck, but this is definitely manageable/curable.
I know someone with Hashimoto's. Definitely have that checked out.
|armchair coach
Magnesium supplement and lots of water.
Some great advice so far. If you don't get any relief you might want to get your iron levels checked, though you'd probably have more symptoms than calf cramps if you were deficient. When I was very anemic it would take me 5 minutes to get out of bed because my calves were so cramped.
I read somewhere that cramps can be related to a lack of oxygen as well as electrolyte deficiency. So when you feel one coming on, take some deep breaths. Believe it or not, it has worked for me.
I've had the exact same morning cramps in bed when I first wake up and almost involuntarily stretch. If it's really bad, it can cause a muscle strain that you feel for a day or 2. The deep breaths have saved me from that.
Also I find that it happens when I'm trying to ramp up some aspect of training. It goes away as time goes on and I grow used to the new level.
|Dr. Perfecto
99% of the time calf cramping like this has NOTHING to do with mineral deficiency. Your calf muscle has just gotten to big for the sheath around it. A few times a day, whether sitting or laying there flex your foot so your toes go up, pretend like you are flexing it towards your kneecap. You will stretch out that sheath and won't have many more problems.
I've seen grown men say they have literally been screaming at 4am and crying because of these kind of calf cramps.
if i don't drink enough water i get calf cramps, and especially during sex.
|Torrance Community Dance Group
Guys, dealt with calve cramps since about age 37, very severely the last 2 years until I bought some compression sleeves for my calves. Miracle.
I don't even wear them running, just after hard workouts after I cool down and shower they go on for the rest of the day and usually overnight. I trained for NYC and did not get one cramp at all since making this change. At times when I am cold, dehydrated and can feel my body tightening up after say a 20 miler, I can even feel my calves about to twinge and cramp, but it does not happen as long as the sleeves are there to apply a little pressure and keep the pressure there. At one point I even got the full compartment syndrome testing and was considering if I would have to quit running...this changed my life, please try it.
