How to Support a Healthy Brain
This week, I had an opportunity to teach a class to students in the McLean Meditation Institute's Meditation Teacher Training program about the interface of brain science and meditation. This topic is near and dear to my heart, due to my earlier studies in the evolution of human consciousness. Meditation is one of the three pillars of support for a healthy brain, along with structural bodywork such as CranioSacral Therapy and Neurochemical factors like nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Recent studies using functional MRI imaging techniques have shown in minute detail that meditation changes the actual physical structure of the brain, increasing thickness and brain volume in areas of executive control. This means that a regular meditation practice teaches us how to focus on what we want to see in our lives and to execute plans to achieve it. We learn to focus on the good, loving, and positive and consequently we develop those qualities in ourselves and attract them in others.
I recommend that all my clients develop a daily meditation practice, and that my meditation students receive CranioSacral Therapy. The combination of attention training through meditation and releasing old stress and trauma from the nervous system and the tissues surrounding it can give us a whole new perspective on life and improve health almost miraculously. This was certainly true in my case. Stay tuned as I develop this topic into a book manuscript and further classes. I am very excited to be able to share this information with you.
In the meantime, if you have friends or family in the Boston area (or will be there yourself on August 17th) check out the Community Wellness talk I'll be giving at Sohum in Westborough, MA.
ILLUMINATE Film Festival
Some of you may have heard that I was part of Danette Wolpert's "Dream Team" of volunteers putting on the ILLUMINATE Film Festival in Sedona last weekend. This was quite a commitment of time and energy, as I ended up coordinating the ticketing process for this first-time event. Ticketing is where the "rubber meets the road" at a Festival. Anyone who has ever run a "spiritual" or "conscious" business knows how delicate the balance is between "we are all one" and the boundaries necessary to maintain a viable business structure. Danette told me she thought I had the "right kind of brain" for this undertaking, which I took as a qualified compliment. It's pretty much a left brain, masculine energy kind of job, and I have tended to alternate between these intellectual projects and more right-brain, feminine energy things like CranioSacral Therapy, yoga, meditation and dance.
Over the years I've realized that we all need a balance between the left and right cerebral hemispheres. As my meditation practice has progressed, I find that I step back fully into the intellectual mind only for very worthy projects such as this one (twenty years in academics was long enough in that mode for this lifetime!) The mission statement of ILLUMINATE is to "introduce film as a modality for healing." The Festival included 20+ films that fall into the mind-body-spirit genre of conscious cinema, and it is the very first of its kind in the world. Many of the films were paired in a "view-and-do" combo with interactive, experiential workshops. I could not resist contributing my brainpower (such as it is) to this fantastic enterprise!
As the smoke was practically coming out of my ears (there were so many different levels of participants, all with different "VIP" or "Industry"-type badges and ticketing options), I saw my dear friend and Art of Feminine Presence teacher, Sally Reeves Conway, who was there to present a workshop on "Conscious and Passionate Presence in Relationships." I couldn't resist the opportunity to pose with her on the ILLUMINATE red carpet (and the "step-and-repeat" background behind it – oh, the new terms I learned behind the scenes!) for a glam photo-op.
Thank you for your beautiful, feminine (AND powerful) presence, Sally, and thank you Sedona Virtual Assistant Laura Schappert for snapping the photo.
Woman Arising
Not too many of the people I know out here in Arizona are aware of my story before I made the move from Ohio nine years ago. The first week of May has been a time when I look back with sadness and regret to a very difficult period in my life. Six days after our 12th wedding anniversary, on May 7, 2005, my husband ended his life, and I felt my own life basically come to a screeching halt. Everyone tries to tell you it's not your fault when something like this happens, but in fact we humans are hard-wired to search and search for what we could have done differently, if only we'd known. Especially if you consider yourself to be a healer who can help people with their problems.
I have been moving slowly through my own recovery process over the years, but I would say things accelerated greatly in the healing department in the last year or two, thanks in large part to my wonderful meditation teacher, Sarah McLean. She helped me establish a solid daily meditation practice, and last year I completed her first professional training for meditation teachers, right here in Sedona.
Sarah is one of those teachers who keeps on giving, way beyond any tuition you might have paid. A couple of weeks ago, she invited me to her program, Woman Arising, and I knew I had to go. What an amazing event, and such a rewarding way to let go of this old grief that comes up every May. Each speaker was completely, perfectly radiant in her own way, and I so enjoyed being in the loving support of the mother. Sarah really knows how to connect women who can help, support and empower one another.
At the end of the last day, I was standing in the product check-out line waiting with my friend (and virtual assistant) Laura Schappert while she bought a box of Colette Baron-Reid's Oracle Cards and had a short reading with Colette. I had no intention of buying anything myself, but while I was standing there, I hear a loud "clunk" behind me and turned around to find I had knocked over a copy of Colette's book "Message from Spirit: The Extraordinary Power of Oracles, Omens, and Signs" and the metal rack that was holding it up. "Just a coincidence," I thought to myself. However the day of inspirational sharing, meditation, mudras and intuitive readings had opened something up in me, and I picked up the book, bought it, and did the whole book signing/photo with the author thing. "Cool!" I thought as we shook hands and I thanked her for a great afternoon. As I was about to walk away, she looked me in the eyes and softly but firmly said, "You are not going to cry any more."
Thank you, Colette for your amazing gift, and Sarah for bringing us together. And thank you Laura for coming with me and taking this photo. I feel it commemorates the closing of one chapter of my life and beginning of another.
Avoiding Shoulder Surgery
A torn rotator cuff occurs when the small muscles that hold the shoulder joint together tear. Traditional medical treatment starts with putting the arm in a sling and taking painkiller or muscle relaxer drugs. This "conservative" treatment often fails, leading to trials of corticosteroid injections and finally, surgery. It can take a year or more to fully recover from rotator cuff surgery and resume normal activities. In my practice, I have worked with people years after rotator cuff surgery who do not have full and complete range of motion in the affected should joint.
It is difficult to let the shoulder joint rest completely. In addition to the many activities we use our arms for, the weight of the arm is constantly pulling on the shoulder joint when standing or sitting, and we put weight on our shoulders when sleeping on our sides. It's a very busy joint!
I was very interested to learn about a very effective exercise program put together by doctors at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Called the "MOON" program (Multicenter Orthopedic Outcome Network), it combines range of motion, flexibility, and strengthening exercise. When performed properly and regularly, this program is 85% effective at avoiding surgery, based on a trial of 452 patients with rotator cuff tears. Although recommended for use with supervision by a physical therapist, you can download the entire program (booklet and video) at moonshoulder.com.
Most of my clients are very hesitant to seek surgical solutions for injuries or problems. If you have been diagnosed with a rotator cuff injury, I recommend looking in to this exercise program, and at the same time, getting some good bodywork or yoga therapy to examine the holding patterns in your body-mind that have lead to this particular area of the body being vulnerable. The two together make a very strong non-surgical alternative that is worth investigating.
Sedona CranioSacral : Is CranioSacral Therapy Like Reiki?
Clients often ask me if I am "doing Reiki" during a session. A large part of what we do as CranioSacral Therapists is what Dr. Upledger called "Direction of Energy," so I knew there were some commonalities with Reiki Therapy, but I wanted a closer look so that I could answer this question more accurately. So when my friend and Reiki Master Carla Trujillo offered me a spot in her Reiki 1 and 2 classes last weekend, I jumped on it! What a wonderful experience, and now I can answer with confidence that my work does, indeed, have an element of Reiki in it. What the Reiki classes provide is a beautiful and loving frame for the energy work, from a Japanese perspective. By incorporating Reiki principles in to my daily meditation practice, I will enhance the energy work that I do in every CranioSacral session, and the results will be that much better.
Here is our Reiki 2 class on a field trip in Sedona. Who can name the location? Too easy for locals, maybe, but if you came to Sedona on a visit, you may not have seen this wonderful local resource.
If you have experienced both CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki, how similar do they feel to you? Leave a comment below.
Cancer Risk From CT Scan Radiation
I try to post mostly positive thoughts on this blog, but the following research findings are so important I want to write about them, even though they are a bit frightening if you have been exposed to this kind of test or are contemplating one in the future. Here in Sedona, it seems like most people do their very best to avoid any kind of radiation – dental x-rays, EMF from televisions, "Smart" meters, etc. But what about a CT scan? It sounds so modern and "clean"…
What is a CT scan, anyway? It is an imaging technique that uses a computer program and lots of x-rays from different angles to create thin "image slices" of the body. When the slices are put back together, they give a very accurate 3-D representation of the inside of the body. This can be very helpful in avoiding "exploratory" surgery when a diagnosis can't be determined from symptoms alone, or to screen for heart disease, for example. We have learned so much about the human body, and especially the brain, through the use of CT. But the test itself is not without risk, and it is estimated that 20-50% of them are medically unnecessary.
Dr. Michael Gregor over at NurtitionFacts.org has put together a video reviewing the research on the effects of CT scan radiation exposure, and there are some pretty sobering quotes, such as:
"The diagnostic radiation dealt out in one year is estimated to cause 2,800 breast cancers among women in the United States, and 25,000 or so other cancers."
"One chest CT scan is like getting 400 chest x-rays, and a stress test heart scan can be like getting over 1,000 x-rays."
"One in every 270 middle-aged women that get an angiogram may get cancer because of that one test."
The best way to avoid these tests? Live and eat healthy enough to avoid them, be aware of what tests are being performed and exactly what benefit they provide, and be sure you understand the risks (which are not always fully communicated). This is especially important for young people, whose risk is even greater due to the long development time for most cancers.
What if you've had these tests already, and are worried about your risk? It's the same advice – live and eat healthy to minimize any further risk. When we do SomatoEmotional Release work as part of CranioSacral Therapy, we help the body to release any foreign energies that are stored in the tissues. Traditionally, we've thought of these foreign energies in terms of impacts from things like auto accidents or falls. As he developed the concept and worked with more patients, however, Dr. Upledger realized that Energy Cysts can also occur from the effects of surgery, infections, exposure to toxins, emotional trauma, medication, and even excess radiation. By releasing these energies, the body is restored to more optimal functioning.
Of course, no one can predict the effect of a single event or type of healing on one person's risk of developing a disease. Because each path is unique, we can't assign a statistical probability to the outcome, and I'm not saying that CST or any other healing technique can completely reverse a carcinogenic process started years or decades in the past. In CranioSacral Therapy, we are only allowing the "Inner Physician" within each of us to lead us on to the path of highest good. Combine that with a healthy lifestyle and informed vigilance when it comes to potential side effects from medical treatments, and then just enjoy your life today!

Head Injury, Homelessness, and (some day I hope) CranioSacral Therapy
In a Canadian study , researchers reviewed emergency room records of the general population compared to men who were either homeless and heavy drinkers, just homeless, or in "vulnerable" housing at risk of being homeless: "In the general population, about 12 in every 10,000 men have a head injury that might involve a brain injury each year. Among the chronically homeless the number is 4,800 every year. Among men who are in low income housing each year, 370 in every 10,000 have such a head injury."
That is 300 to 400 times the risk! Most epidemiological studies are noteworthy when they find a factor that increases risk by 2 or 3 times. The researchers operate from the model that being homeless (and perhaps intoxicated) leaves individuals vulnerable to being attacked and injured, but they also found that subsequent head trauma became more likely with each previous brain injury, suggesting that disorientation, dizziness, memory loss, or other problems accumulate and make injury a "downward spiral."
As a CranioSacral Therapist in Sedona, Arizona, I have seen first-hand the difficulties caused by traumatic head injury, even in people who are not homeless, who are in fact fairly well-off. I can't imagine the compounding effect of head injury in someone who is living "on the edge" already. Despite the known risks of homelessness, seeing these statistics is indeed shocking.
We need to find a way to bring healing to the nervous systems of these people! Not only is it critically important in the present, but what will this population be like in 10 or 20 years, after the effects of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan add to the numbers of men with traumatic brain injuries. Traumatic brain injury (tbi) is considered the "signature injury" of soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. See, for example, this collection of NPR stories on the military's failure to adequately care for the increasing numbers of soldiers with tbi's:.
The Upledger Institute has conducted several incredibly successful intensive programs for Vietnam veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It seems these programs are even more needed now, when veterans are returning with sometimes multiple brain injuries as well as the enormous stress associated with combat.

From My Hands and Heart, by Kate MacKinnon
Here is a lovely video by Kate MacKinnon, explaining what we do as CranioSacral Therapists. Very clear. Kate also has a new book out, that goes into more depth about her journey to CST, including interesting case studies of some of her patients. Nice job, Kate!
Energy Cysts – Post it notes for the body
When I worked in academics, I would often find myself "multi-tasking" between projects, and coming up with ideas and tasks that I couldn't deal with in the moment. Since the invention of post-it notes in the 1970s, they were a favorite way for keeping track of these future projects. I would just stick them to the wall above my desk. One day I noticed that the entire wall was covered in yellow notes, and realized that I wasn't keeping up with the demands on my time and energy. My whole system was getting bogged down, and something needed to change. That realization was the first step in my big career change, that eventually led me down the road to CranioSacral Therapy.
Our bodies have a similar system for storing hurts, memories, and emotions that we are unable to deal with fully at the time they arise. This can be because the injury is too big or traumatic to spend energy comprehending until we have dealt with the immediate survival means, like a broken bone, traumatic head injury, or major surgery. It can also be due to the emotional context of a particular event – loss of a parent (actual or perceived), extreme guilt, shame, or fear. The part of our brain that processes messages from the body says "oops, that's important, but can't deal with it now…gotta run and deal with staying alive" or whatever. So, it puts the mental equivalent of a post it note on or in the area of the body that is feeling the impact of whatever is happening.
This system works well for a period of time, sometimes a lifetime, if there aren't too many post its. For the rest of us, it's like my experience in my academic office. One day, you add one more little stressor, and the whole system breaks down. Maybe it's the activation of chronic pain somewhere along the spine. Maybe it's the shut down of an essential organ, such as the gallbladder (one of our body's favorite place to store unprocessed toxins). Or, maybe it's a serious new medical diagnosis, such as cancer, heart disease, or multiple sclerosis. In this Energy Cyst model, the site of the breakdown may vary according to the individual, but the underlying cause of the problem is the accumulation of a lifetime of unprocessed trauma, injury, and tension.
Because of this, the way we approach healing as CranioSacral Therapists differs from the type of treatment administered by the standard Western medical system. Instead of trying to "fix" the broken link in the chain, we ask your Inner Physician "Where should we begin today, in order to bring the greatest healing to your overall body/mind/spirit? The answer is often surprising, not only to us as therapists, but sometimes to clients as well. It's like you walk into your office one day, look at the mass of yellow notes on the wall, and suddenly see the ONE THING that needs to be taken care of in order to make everything else work better. Then, the overwhelm of sticky notes begins to come down, and all the systems begin to flow. And THAT is why we do what we do in terms of CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release!
SEED Meditation
Today, I want to talk to you about SEED meditation, because I have just completed a wonderful meditation teacher training with Sarah McLean of the Mclean Meditation Institute right here in Sedona. I am now certified to teach Sarah's SEED meditation method, which stands for "Simple, Easy, Every Day." SEED is a symbol for the seed we plant when we begin to meditate. It doesn't start out as a big, green tree, but just a tiny seed that we care for and nurture every day until it sprouts, and continues to grow throughout life.
What I learned from Sarah is that meditation practice is similar to brushing your teeth. It is not a big, mystical experience in real time, but if we do it consistently, twice a day, we'll have healthy teeth and gums for the rest of our lives.
One of the biggest misconceptions that I know I had about meditation was that each experience of it would feel deep and blissful. I've been practicing meditation off and on for years, but kept thinking I wasn't doing it right, because my experiences were more along the lines of "oh, wow, my back really hurts," or "how much longer do I have to sit here?" So I'd "forget" to do it for a while or think maybe it just wasn't for me.
Learning the SEED method has really opened my eyes up in terms of what to expect from my meditation practice: a slow, steady improvement in my ability to
- release stress,
- be in the present moment,
- be kind to myself and others
all of which allow me to make better choices, and ultimately to live a better life.
So, thank you for that Sarah!
I'm very excited to begin sharing this meditation practice with others in my own "Introduction to Meditation" class on May 18th. If you'd like to learn more about the class, please check out this post, or give me a call and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Learn to Meditate
Learn to Meditate – August 24 or September 28, 2013
Presented by Pamela Joy, PhD, LMT, CST
Tuition $75.00
The SEED (Simple, Easy, Every Day) Meditation Method training is a 3-hour program designed to give beginners all they need to practice meditation at home. It's also great for anyone who used to meditate and wants to get back on track with their practice.
In this class, you'll learn how meditation works and explore a variety of meditation techniques, including a silent mantra and breath meditation practice so effective that you can use it for the rest of your life. You will also understand the types of experiences to expect in and out of meditation.
You don't need any prerequisites to join this class. All your questions about meditation will be answered, and you'll leave with your own personal practice.
This class takes place at 35 View Drive in West Sedona. See "contact" page for a map. Registration/check-in begins at 9:30am.
Cerebrospinal Fluid
So what is this cerebrospinal fluid we CranioSacral Therapists are so interested in? What does it do? Why do we want it to circulate freely? Here's a really good, simple overview.
In this lesson, you'll learn that you have holes in your brain and that it's actually a good thing! You'll also find out how your brain uses a water cushion for protection and where this water cushion is made.
Mescal Trail Loop
The Mescal Trail is fairly new, accessed from the new parking area on the right side of Boynton Pass Road (152D) just before the Long Canyon parking area. This is not the same as the old Mescal Mountain Trail, which the Forest Service has re-routed to avoid some ruins. The new trail makes a fine loop when combined with parts of the Deadman's Pass and Long Canyon Trails back to the road.
Winter came late to Sedona this year, making the transition perhaps more of a shock than a gradual cooling through November and December. When a cold rain turned to snow Saturday, many of us in the Sedona Hiking Meetup were ready to give up on this hike. Those that waited for Sunday afternoon were rewarded with stunning views of snow on the mountains and a gradual clearing that warmed our way. A bit of mud on the Deadman's Pass segment barely slowed us down, and we returned to our cars very much warmed.

Jason Wright: Attack those weeds at the root
By Jason Wright
No one has been more confused by spring's awkward shuffle than Mr. Grumpy Grass in my front yard. One freezing morning I heard him shout, "Wake me when you're serious," and then drift back to sleep.
Thankfully, three weeks ago, spring finally announced she was ready to stay and the yard awoke in a hurry. I pulled out my mower and after a tune-up by a friend who could fix a Carnival cruise ship engine with his eyes closed, I began tackling the grass in my front and side yards.
I made one pass after another, firing off menacing looks at the clusters of weeds as I mowed them down and blended them into the surrounding healthy green blades. I was slicing and dicing dandelions and crab grass with as much energy and excitement as Vince from the Slap Chop commercials.
When I was done, I admired my work and noticed that one particular section in the backyard looked so good, it could have gone to prom with the first fairway at Augusta National.
Just a few days later, the love was gone. Weeds as high as 6 inches were already poisoning the lawn again. And this time I noticed even thicker, more toxic varieties popping up and taking advantage of the recent rain.
Sure, I could have invested the time to do the hard work of removing the weeds. I could have carefully spread weed killer and gotten on my knees to pull the more stubborn weeds at their root. But why? Ain't nobody got time for that.
Instead, I fired up the mower and for a second time, cut down the weeds until they were barely distinguishable from the lush green grass around them. It felt good to have temporarily solved the problem, even though I knew it was a quick fix. For a day or two, the lawn looked just fine.
Then, before I knew it, I was standing on my porch looking at all the same weeds back in all the same spots. Some had returned thicker, others looked to have brought along a few squatter friends.
I stood for some time surveying the lawn, section by section. But the longer I looked, the more I didn't see grass at all - I saw my life.
How often have I chopped away the weeds of my life - bad habits - only to see them reappear again? I certainly recognize the things in my life that occasionally need improvement. But do I really make time to remove the weeds that stifle the rest of my personal growth? Or do I take a quick pass at the surface, trim away what's visible to the world and pretend the same weeds won't soon return?
How much easier would life be if we identified the weeds and made time to attack them at the root? What if we asked experts that are trained to know the best methods for success? What if we spent time on our knees doing the hard work to remove the toxic weeds that, if left untreated, can eventually overtake and smother a healthy yard?
I suspect a completely weed-free yard is something I'll never experience in this life. But maybe with a fresh perspective, I might be willing to try a little bit harder.
How about you?

Memes and Misogynoir
On April 7, 2012, a fire broke out at the Chateau Deville Apartments, a complex located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Though no serious injuries were reported, one woman—in whose home the fire started—was treated for smoke inhalation and five units were damaged, displacing several families and depriving many more of electricity.
The story reported by NBC-affiliate KFOR-TV included a brief interview with resident Kimberly Wilkins, who ran for her life as the building as the building burned: You probably know her better as Sweet Brown. Her closing line, "ain't nobody got time for that," is sure to ring a bell.
How is it that a witness to an [...]

The Network: Promoting Green Benefits to Business and IT
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Virtually all large enterprises are conscious of the image they project, and corporate responsibility is an important part of that image. Green technologies represent an opportunity for corporations that extend beyond brand reputation and can affect overall profitability. The answer depends on how broadly one is willing to define the green practices that can be implemented to save energy costs, while reducing carbon footprint. Most discussions about green focus around energy consumption. That is certainly an important part of the overall equation. However, thinking beyond simple power consumption and considering how effectively and efficiently all energy and business resources are being used broadens the range of benefits available through green practices. This paper examines how a Cisco network can be used to realize some of those benefits.

This afternoon I went to the gym and decided to run. I ran a mile - without stopping. I was so excited! I just kept going and going and going...
A thunderstorm is coming, it looks weird outside. I guess we need the rain. I changed my fitness information on the tracker, and my calorie allowance went up because of it. This week's challenge is making sure that I meet my nutrition goals each day.
I haven't lost any weight since last weigh-in but I'm not disappointed. How weird. Other things are changing, though, so I think that's why I don't mind so much about the weight.
Off to have some water.
This morning I started training for my first 5K. The group met at the gym and ran two half-mile segments. The loop we ran was up a huge hill. It ended up that we ran up the hill 4 times. BUT, I didn't stop running/jogging. I did it! I was so excited. That was my first time running outside. For such a long time I have only been challenging myself mentally (taking classes) and artistically (playing in a musical) but I have never challenged myself physically. This 5K training is something totally new for me. This whole healthy lifestyle thing is making me realize that although it's important to be mentally fit, it's also important to be physically fit. Neither one is more important than the other. Since I am getting fit both ways, I notice a huge difference in my attitude. My confidence is higher, and I am generally a more positive person. I have to keep this in mind every time I think I want to eat a cake. I am a much happier person when I am fit.
For lunch, my fiance grilled pork spare ribs. MMM. Even though they were really fatty, I only ate one. It did not kill my day, and I wasn't going to let it. My choices in food are SOOOO much better than they used to be. The calories in the rib were worth it. Would the calories in a giant bowl of ice cream have been worth it? Probably not.
I took the cover off the deck furniture, and we sat outside and ate. I LOVE Spring. I'm doing some cleaning today, airing out some rooms. Today is going to be a busy day!
I need to adjust my fitness and nutrition levels today. I stepped up the cardio quite a bit the last two weeks.
I felt a muscle in my calf today.
Happy Spring!!!
This will be short, I am tired.
I went to the gym tonight and ran. On Saturday I start training for a 5K (wahoo!) and I started a 10 week running plan on Tuesday.
Did some lunges and dead lifts tonight, and some core stuff. Ugh.
I think I'm going to up my calories burned... I am already way over for this week, and I have tomorrow and Saturday that I am going to the gym. I want to make sure I'm eating enough.
Off to sleep... tracked my calories and my fitness stuff.
I am thinking about whether or not I want to go swimming later. It would make me feel really good, and I can log it in my fitness minutes here and on the Presidential Fitness page. I don't have a good reason why I *shouldn't* go swimming... I guess I'll get ready to go a little after 8:00. Picked up some yummy looking salad dressing tonight for school - Annie's Organic cucumber yogurt dressing. I can't wait to try it! MMM
Today I met ALL my nutrition goals. And that was even with a serving of ice cream!
I think I'll go veg a bit before I get ready to swim.
I'm almost half way to my goal, and if it were "old me," I would just end here and think "I've done good enough. I'll go back to eating whatever I want." But yesterday I got a really nice compliment from one of my fellow teachers, and I know I can keep going.
This morning I planned on wearing a pair of gray pants that were just a little big; i can deal with just a little big. But I put them on today, and they were huge. There is no way I could wear them. Another pair in the Goodwill pile. I kinda feel guilty, because my fiance just got 5 pairs of pants shortened for me, and only two of them are wearable anymore. I did give two pairs to someone else, and I can still give the gray pair away too. I'm going to make do with what I have and wait until I'm closer to my goal to buy more stuff, I think. Skirts are ok; they are a bit more flexible with fit. It's a good thing it's getting warm! I guess I'll just have to update my wardrobe with shoes; that size shouldn't change.
Tonight I'm going to start my running workout. Ten weeks to become a runner. I think I'd like to run a 5k this summer...
I've been doing less eating in front of the computer. It's weird - I added it to my Spark Goals, and now I think "I can't check this off if I eat while typing today." How weird! Tonight is upper body and core night. I think I'll try a new core work out (thanks E.Boog!).
I LOVE putting on clothes and knowing that they are going to look good!
Have a Sparky Tuesday!

GeForce 9600 GT passive review -- Noise always has been an issue with graphics cards. The past few years however manufacturers has put more emphasis on cooling solutions that though are high performance, are silent. Every now and then however there are some companies out there releasing a product completely passively cooled. Today therefore we test the first in a two-fold of passively cooled GeForce 9600 GT products. This one comes from the lads at Galaxy, and is completely heatpipe based. Read article

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Soldierup14 Nice beginner set up Bought this rod and reel combo about a year and a half ago, used it countless times over the summer in CO and it has never failed me, but this season ill be switching up to something a little more high speed. It's an awesome starter combo but once you get into the sport more you might want to switch it up a little more and get something more responsive and sensitive. April 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike Great value I'm new to fly fishing, but this combo is very nice. The protective case is made very well and will last a lifetime. The rod/reel is good and has been very easy to use so far while learning to cast. I definitely reccommend it for any beginner. August 20, 2013

I LOVE Rick Riordan's "The Sea of Monsters." It's a fantasy-adventure novel based on Greek mythology. It's actually the second book in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series. The first book ("The Lightning Thief") was turned into a movie. I find the story line interesting and exciting. As a bonus, I got to learn a lot about different Greek gods and goddesses and ancient myths. I enjoyed the way the author wrote the story in relation to our modern world.

I'M NOW reading the self-help book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" by Richard Carlson. I bought it myself. It's very helpful. It imparts simple lessons that anyone can apply in everyday life. It has taught me not to worry about the insignificant problems that come our way. It's very practical. The book has specific chapters that share simple tips on how to handle stress in different situations that happen in real life. Interviews by Bayani San Diego Jr.

Topic: Documentaries
The Romanovs: The Last 100 Years is a new Russian made documentary which attempts to unravel the reasons behind the downfall of the monarchy in 1917. This 90 minute video includes a rich collage of vintage film footage of Tsar Nicholas II and his family, historic re-enactments using contemporary Russian actors, and interviews. Among those interviewed are Prince Nicholas Romanovich, Prince Rostislav Rostislavovich, as well as the chief investigator and criminologist from the Russian Investigative Committee, Vladimir Soloviev, who recently investigated the murders of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. The documentary explores the Sokolov investigation, as well as the numerous Romanov impostors that created headlines over the past century, the Ekaterinburg remains, a look at the modern day members of Russian Imperial House, the burial of Tsar Nicholas II at St. Petersburg in July 1998, and much more. The narration is in Russian, however, do not allow that to stop you from enjoying the wonderful images and historic film footage of the Imperial family of Russia, filmed before the Revolution. This documentary is the most comprehensive to date on the Romanov dynasty in the 20th century, absolutely fascinating!

Puck Daddy
NHL Three Stars: Night of the OT thrillers (and goalie interference)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy7 hrs ago
No. 1 Star: Kevin Klein, New York Rangers
Klein needed to do his goalie Henrik Lundqvist a solid after a few pucks had gone in off the defenseman this season, including one against the New Jersey Devils. So he gave Lundqvist the win with the third game-winner of his eight-season career, scoring at 2:18 of overtime to complete a Rangers rally for the 4-3 win.
No. 2 Star: Phil Kessel, Toronto Maple Leafs
Phil The Thrill led the Leafs' rally on Long Island, scoring two goals and assisting on one by James van Riemsdyk as Toronto blew past the New York Islanders, 5-2.
No. 3 Star: Ondrej Palat, Tampa Bay Lightning
Palat's sweet backhand goal on a point blast from Anton Stralman gave the Bolts a 2-1 overtime victory against the Calgary Flames, as Evgeni Nabokov outdueled Karri Ramo.Tue, Oct 21NY Rangers4 - 3New JerseyGame Recap
How terrible is this goalie interference call on Nick Bjugstad? (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy9 hrs ago
The Florida Panthers defeated the Colorado Avalanche in overtime on Tuesday night, 4-3, on a Brad Boyes goal. This result proves that the Hockey Gods have a sense of goodness and fairness, because the Panthers were nearly jobbed by an atrocious goalie interference penalty late in the third period.
Bjugstad made a brilliant move in the Avalanche zone, skating out from behind the net, turning and accelerating through the Colorado defense towards goalie Reto Berra. The goalie moved to the top of his crease and attempted a poke check. Bjugstad collided with his pad and flew through the air.
The result? Two minutes for goalie interference, a penalty that the Panthers would eventually kill.
The NHL rulebook, on goalie interference:
"Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact."
Or, if you prefer:
Pavel Datsyuk work of art ruined by NHL goalie interference rules (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy10 hrs ago
Pavel Datsyuk returned to the Detroit Red Wings lineup on Tuesday night and did what Pavel Datsyuk does, which is score a ridiculous goal: Blazing speed into the Montreal Canadiens zone, a dangle to the middle, a spinning backhand perfectly placed past Carey Price.
Only it didn't count.
Nor should it have counted, as per the NHL's goalie interference rules and the real-time enforcement of them, without benefit of review.
Justin Abdelkader of the Red Wings parked himself next to Price, his skate near the crease. Price moved into his hip, attempting to defend the shot. And the goal was disallowed because of that contact.
Fox Sports Detroit announcers Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond went a little nuts, attempting to paint Price as the aggressor here. And he was, but it doesn't matter, as the NHL rules state:
"Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper's ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal."
Nathan Horton's career could be over due to back injuryGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy13 hrs ago
Calling Nathan Horton's back ailment an "injury" seems a bit flimsy in light of Aaron Portzline's report on Monday that the Columbus Blue Jackets forward's career might be over.
Horton has a "degeneration of the entire lumbar region of his spine or lower back" according to the Columbus Dispatch, and there's growing concern that his career "might be finished."
He signed a 7-year, $37.1-million free-agent contract with the Blue Jackets in 2013. That was after recovering from a concussion he suffered in Boston, and shoulder surgery that delayed the start of his season with Columbus.
Surgery on his back is an option, but by no means a guarantee that his back would improve. His agent, Paul Krepelka, said Horton is in "constant pain."
From Puck-Rakers:
The Blue Jackets will be covered by insurance for most of Horton's salary — $6 million this season — once he misses the club's 21st game of the season, on Nov. 25. Future seasons would work the same.
LA Kings support NHL suspension of Slava Voynov but unclear on falloutJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy16 hrs ago
Since the NHL broke the news that it had suspended Kings defenseman Slava Voynov indefinitely after an arrest on suspicion of domestic violence (Voynov has reportedly yet to be charged), both the league and the Kings have shown a united front in support of the action.
While deputy commissioner Bill Daly had been active in defending the NHL's actions in this case, the Kings have been mainly silent with the exception of a statement by the team.
That ended Tuesday with general manager Dean Lombardi and coach Darryl Sutter chatting with reporters at the team's practice facility in El Segundo, Calif.
What we learned was that Sutter went to Voynov's house Tuesday, and both he and Lombardi support the NHL's decision. From Rich Hammond of the Orange County Registerwhen Sutter was asked if he agreed with the NHL: "Absolutely," Sutter said. "It's very appropriate."
Blues' Alex Pietrangelo shaves head in support of niece's cancer fight (Photo)Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy17 hrs ago
The NHL's annual Hockey Fights Cancer campaign began Monday, with all 30 teams holding in-arena awareness nights through Nov. 17. St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has decided to show his support through his hair, well, what's left of it, after the disease hit close to home recently.
In late August, Pietrangelo sent out a Tweet asking for prayers for his niece, Ellie, after she was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor, a rare cancer of the kidneys that affects mostly children. After undergoing surgery to remove a mass, the 5-year old began chemotherapy.
On Monday night, almost two months after Pietrangelo's Tweet, he sent out another one. This time, it was two photos of him and Ellie. To support his niece in her cancer fight, the Blues defenseman decided to enlist her help in shaving his head. The first picture caught Ellie's work midway through, while the second showcased the final product:
Oliver Ekman-Larsson's Norris Trophy problemJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy18 hrs ago
NASHVILLE – Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson holds a cup of coffee in a Gatorade cup outside of the visitor's locker room at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
Breakfast of champions?
"Sure," he gives a wry smile following Arizona's morning skate
Whatever gets the Swedish minute-crunching blueliner going (he seemingly plays forever, averaging almost half-a-game of ice-time) that night works.
"He plays a lot of minutes in all situations," Arizona coach Dave Tippett said. "He plays like an elite defenseman in the league. Players who play in that position earn that right and he does that."
Ekman-Larsson's skill as a defenseman is quite obvious. He's got all the necessary tools.
Great stick? Check.
Excellent skater? Check.
Passing? Almost always tape-to-tape.
Shot? Solid.
Positioning? Sound.
Size? He's listed at 6-foot-2.
But there is somewhat of a cautionary tale down the hall in Nashville's Shea Weber, another elite toolsy blueliner.

Pavel Datsyuk back for the Detroit Red WingsGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy21 hrs ago
Sunshine. Puppies. Pavel Datsyuk in the lineup.
What are three things that undeniably brighten your day?
The Detroit Red Wings star will make his season debut on Tuesday night at the Montreal Canadiens, four weeks after suffering a separated shoulder. Johan Franzen, alas, is headed to seven-day injured reserve with a wonky groin to open up that spot for Datsyuk.
As Helene St. James of the Free Press notes, getting him back could mean very good things for the Red Wings' offense:
Getting Datsyuk back surely would help an offense that so far has sputtered; the four goals scored Friday at Toronto mark the only time the Wings have topped two goals in a game. Saturday, they scored once — in overtime. The power play has been especially egregious, its 9.5% success rate reflecting two goals on 21 opportunities.
"We have to get more pucks to the net," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "We've been a little bit too stationary once we do enter the zone. We need to make sure we have more motion."

Back in the 19th century, people were keen on all sorts of crazy fucking medical experimentation. One man, Guillaume Duchenne, was obsessed with finding the perfect smile. And his method to find the perfect smile involved using electricity to shock various parts of the face, from people of all ages and walks of life, in order to force them to smile.
As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 begins, there's already a potentially volatile situation brewing off the coast of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. As a response to threats of sanctions imposed on its oil exports, Iran has threatened to close the Strait, which is a valuable throughway for not just oil, but all sorts of maritime traffic in the region.

After saying that they had no plans to open up a real app store on any of their consoles, rumor has it now Nintendo may be planning a real, full-blown app store on the Wii U. As much as you might think it would be nice to have pure game consoles, that's just not cutting it anymore.
My understanding is that it's addictive over time. One of the reasons it was so popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a pick-me-up was that they thought it was non-addictive and had no side effects. But it is bad for your heart and over time, you end up having to do more and more of it to get the same buzz and that's when it becomes an addiction.

As reported over the weekend, former WWE Diva, Jillian, returned to the ring for the first time since last November on Saturday night in Orlando, FL.
Jillian hasn't competed in a match since her WWE release. In her first match back she defeated Orlando local, Santana.
Footage from her appearance has been posted online:
Thanks to Al Haft for the tip.
I'm surprised she's still doing her old schtick :) Hey, if it's getting her booked and paid, more power to her! Hope we see more videos from her–I really do miss Ms. Hall.
Santana stole Gail's Eat Defeat! LOL!
Actually, Gail stole it from Sexy Chucky T…:P
There are about 5 to 6 diffrent ppl uses the Eat Defeat.
May be true, personally, I've seen no one else use it execpt Chucky and I watch a ton of indies, but I think everyone has stole it from Chucky cause I remember him using back in his IWA days. Like, '05-ish…
@Scar: yeah, Chuck is the one that invented it. His version is called 'sole food', then Colt Cabana has the 'Eat da Feet' i think. And Gail 'Eat defeat'. I havent seen anyone else use it in the us.
There is a girl in Japan who uses something similair, but she only uses it from the topropes (which Chuck has done as well), unfortunately i dont remember her name.
The video pops up as having been removed from the user.
Did that happen to anyone else?
and me :(
man the video was removed :(
cant view it.
anyone have the video _PLEASE
To anyone who still hasn't watched it there is a site that has the video. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link though.
I thought that was Gail Kim! The way she is dressed, the way she moves and the eat defeat.
For those who want to watch the vid, type in 'Jillian vs Santana' on youtube and you will find it there :)
Im so happy Jillian is still in the wrestling buisness. Hopefully TNA will sign her. I would so happy the knockouts division would be even better
Fan: "I love you!"
Jillian: "Heh…I don't love you that much…"
Glad she's back.
Wow she really packed on the pounds since she has been off of tv! Oh well still nice to see her back.
She had a miscarriage remember?

Sign Up for PGC 2014!
Project Green Challenge, is a powerful and diverse call to action raising awareness about conscious living, informed consumption, and the collective impact of individual actions. Through 30-days of environmentally themed challenges, PGC provides high school and college students with mentorship, advocacy, and leadership skills. Over its 3-year history this initiative has impacted approximately 10,000 students directly and millions indirectly. PGC and its extension programs, GreenUniversity (a 3-day environmental leadership summit), and the TTG Internship Program, form a year-long platform to build on key sustainability themes introduced during PGC. The goal is to educate students and mobilize change to sustain a healthy and just planet through individual, campus, and large scale action.
Project Green Challenge 2014
Teens Turning Green will launch the Fourth Annual Project Green Challenge, a 30 day global initiative during the month of October. This powerful, diverse and far reaching movement is a call to action for high school and college students, to raise awareness about conscious living, informed consumption, and the collective impact of individual actions, to sustain a healthy and just planet.
PGC 2013 engaged 2,700+ students representing 410 campuses in 50 states, and 30 countries. With this initiative as the impetus, powerful, dynamic, and passionate young eco leaders are emerging worldwide.
Getting Involved
Sign up for Project Green Challenge 2014!
There are more opportunities to get involved in a leadership capacity:
- Become a Campus Rep; work with us to engage PGC participation on your campus and host a Sign Up event
-Enter the PGC 2014 Video Contest! Send us a 30-60 second video showing us what "conventional to conscious" means to you, and you could win more than $500 in prizes and be featured as the official PGC 2014 promotional video!
- Work with us as an intern during the school year or in the summer to help develop PGC.
How it Works
Sign up to be a participant if you are in high school, college, or graduate school any place in the world.
Starting on October 1, all students who have signed up to participate will receive an email on that day with the challenge content and every day thereafter until October 30. Participants will take on a new challenge each day, focused on inspiring youth to transition from conventional to conscious living by taking simple, fun, and high impact steps to impact personal lifestyle, school campuses, and local communities. Challenges each have a unique theme; from food to body, fitness to labeling, style to fair trade … and four levels of engagement (Green, Greener, Greenest, Extra Credit). Participants share their responses to challenge tasks with direct uploads of photos, videos, and text to the PGC site, as well as posting on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest boards.
Points for each challenge are accrued by participants and posted on a leader board with a chance to win eco prizes for the 20 outstanding daily submissions. (Check out last year's PGC here!)
Challenges are delivered by email to registered participants at 4 am PST each morning and posted on projectgreenchallenge.com for 24 hours. Participants complete the challenge tasks each day during that time frame working to become informed and active global citizens.
Challenges and all supporting resources, tips, facts, glossary, and Green Guide are available for deeper engagement.
Green University
PGC participants who complete the 30-day Challenge will be invited to apply for the challenge finals, called Green U. Up to 16 finalists from the global collective of participants will be selected to attend this three-day eco summit in late November hosted in the Bay Area, California.
Those selected will be flown to Green U and have the opportunity to learn from and interact with esteemed eco leaders, present experiences from their 30-day experience, and work together to create innovative platforms for action to be grounded on their campuses globally in the coming year.
A panel of judges will select the Project Green Challenge 2014 Champion. The winner will receive a one-of-a-kind Grand Prize package and the opportunity to work alongside other PGC challengers and Teens Turning Green staff in the coming year.

'Avengers Assemble' Ends in March with Issue 25
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Friday, January 17 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
If you noticed the latest Marvel Solicitations for April had no Avengers Assemble, you were not alone. Fans reached out to writer (and tumblr-er) Kelly Sue DeConnick on tumblr to ask if the title was ending.
It is indeed.
Ellis wants me to tell you he "murdered it with special English curse magics," but in truth the book fulfilled its mandate, so it's done with issue 25.
Thank you SO MUCH for all the support — it's been a blast.
As to what exactly the "mandate" was, she didn't say, but perhaps a twenty-five issue run was in the planning as Marvel prepares a new wave of Marvel NOW titles.
In the meantime, don't forget DeConnick will have a new Marvel NOW Captain Marvel title on the way, as well as her own creator-owned sci-fi comic, Bitch Planet, launching with Image Comics this year.
